I Got Horny First, So This Is Mine
The Celestial Fox had tried to escape and been completely neutralized.
I stretched out my tentacles, ready to claim that beautiful creature for myself.
"Heh heh heh hehhh... Once I take her home and break her in with my tentacles, she's all mine... Not only can I mass-produce the hottest tentacle porn, I can grow my sexy little Tentie even bigger... Heeheeheehee!!!"
I coiled my tentacles around both of the Celestial Fox's arms, stuffed her into my sack, and was just about to abscond with my prize when a bone-chilling reaper's voice cut through the air behind me.
"...What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Huh? Ohhh~ Just collecting a yokai! You know how it is — if the wrong people catch you with one, you're in deep—"
Shhk.
My tentacles were severed in an instant.
And then they began to burn — every last one of them, beyond any hope of regeneration.
"Y-YOU CRAZY BASTARD!!! MY TENTACLES!!!"
Do you have any idea how long it took to raise my Tentie?! How many yokai I sacrificed as offerings to grow those tentacles?!
I glared at the bald man standing before me, but he pressed in with a voice cold as ice.
"I told you not to cross the line, didn't I? I said I'd handle this whole thing myself. Whether it's a yokai or a person — why is it that the second I open my mouth, it goes in one ear and out the other? Don't you wonder about that?"
"..."
"I said, don't you fucking wonder about that, you bitch."
KRA-BOOM!!!
With a single casual gesture, every tentacle I'd summoned exploded.
The backlash from my shikigami being forcibly reverse-summoned tore through my insides. I coughed up blood and quietly edged backward, desperate to put distance between myself and the bald man.
But then—
"Hiiik?!"
The world around us went dark. Every escape route sealed shut.
At the same time, an enormous tiger materialized behind him and yawned as if thoroughly bored.
"What is it this time, Contractor? Don't tell me you've gone into heat just from looking at this lady's body again."
"This is not the time for jokes, so shut up."
"You say that, but your body seems rather honest. The scent of a male in heat has been rolling off you since the moment you stepped in here — how do you expect this lady to believe otherwise?"
"Why are you so damn loud today? If you're bored, go block the exits. If that bitch gets away, I swear I will fuck you senseless."
"This lady has no interest in being mounted by a dog. Still — since you, my Contractor, are asking, this lady shall oblige."
With that, San-gun lumbered her massive frame over and completely sealed off every exit I might have used. Then she looked down at me with the idle curiosity of someone eyeing a new toy.
"This lady has no idea what crime you committed to end up in her abode, but it seems this will be rather entertaining. The fact that you've been brought here means that perverted animal-lover is genuinely furious."
"L-Lady San-gun, p-please, have mercy on me..."
"Don't beg this lady for mercy — beg that pervert. Though, knowing her Contractor, the mercy he intends to show you appears to be rather limited."
San-gun let out a hearty laugh and swatted me with one thick, deceptively cute forepaw. The blow sent me flying straight into the bald man's waiting presence.
"H-hiiik??!!"
His face looked like an executioner's — the kind of expression a man wears while preparing for a beheading. That bone-chilling look twisted into a nasty smirk as he mocked me.
"Why so scared? Didn't you know this was coming the moment you did it? When you ignore someone else's warning, you should already be prepared to pay the price."
He pulled three talismans from his pocket and pressed the first one against my forehead.
"First one is Binding. Can't have you thrashing around while I feed you the rest, so I'll just stick this on for a bit."
The moment the Binding talisman touched my forehead, my body locked up like solid stone.
Then he shoved the second talisman into my frozen mouth.
"Second is Abstinence. Swallow this and you'll be stuck in a state of constant sexual frustration until I lift the effect — and you won't be able to climax. For a filthy degenerate like you, this is the ultimate punishment."
...No.
Trapped in permanent blue-balls with no way to finish?
Is he telling me to just die?
I glared at him, but he looked thoroughly amused as he crammed the third talisman into my mouth.
"Third is Prohibition. From now on, you won't be able to think about tentacles. The second you so much as entertain the idea, you'll find out just how powerful that second talisman really is."
What?
I can't think about tentacles?
Of all things — he's taking away the one joy in my life?
I have to spit them out. These talismans — I have to spit them out right now!
I strained with everything I had to retch the talismans back up, but the Binding seal was already stuck to my forehead. Whether they'd been made of some water-soluble material or not, the talismans were slowly dissolving in my saliva.
At this rate, they'll be branded into me.
The effects will be permanently etched in, and I'll never be able to live that lust-soaked life of mine again.
...I'm sorry.
I was really, truly wrong...!
I'll never touch what's yours again... please, just forgive me! I'm begging you!!!
I stared up at the bald man with desperate, pleading eyes, but he just snickered like he couldn't believe what he was seeing and kept right on mocking me.
"See, this is why you should listen when people talk to you nicely. Don't worry too much — seeing as you used to be my colleague, I'll let you off once you've properly atoned."
Once the talismans had fully dissolved on my tongue, he stepped in close, grabbed my tongue, and turned it this way and that, inspecting it.
"Yep, fully branded. I'll send you home like this, so grab your crotch and reflect on your sins. The Binding seal... should wear off about two hours after you get back."
Finished talking, the bald man pulled a water bottle from his pocket and dumped the entire contents over me.
Crafted by the Lust Demon Elder
Effect:Dramatically amplifies the Abstinence talisman's torment
Duration:Until the second seal is lifted
"Ah, and this is a parting gift. Special aphrodisiac crafted by the Lust Demon Elder — you should get a real good feel for what that second talisman can do. Farewell then, my old colleague. Heh heh heh heh..."
He slapped one last talisman onto me and activated it. And so, once I was back home—
Aaaah... aaaaaaah♡
—a hell of pure, unending pleasure came for me.
Inside San-gun's Abode, now emptied of the tentacle-crazed shaman, the tiger deity curled up and yawned. Then she pointed a paw at the Celestial Fox lying beneath her feet and addressed the bald man.
"How truly fascinating. The body is that of a Celestial Fox, yet the yoreok and jeong-gi are pitifully insufficient for such a form. And the mind within is not that of a yokai at all."
"Got tangled up with some weird minor god, apparently. Seriously — a guy who never even leaves the house, and somehow he catches the attention of something like that."
"...To call it a 'minor god' may be underselling it. Even this lady cannot dismiss a being capable of turning an ordinary human body into a Celestial Fox rather than a mere nine-tailed fox."
"Dunno. For something supposedly too big to ignore, it looked pretty damn pathetic to me."
The man looked down at his gasping ball-buddy with a complicated expression.
"So what now? Thanks to that psycho bitch, this idiot's got a memory they're never going to forget."
"What choice is there? Either erase the memory, or make it so the whole thing was nothing more than a dream."
"Erase it and they'll get that disconnect feeling. Call it a dream and it still sticks around as a nightmare that won't go away... Still, better a dream than the real thing."
"How very devoted of you. For someone who can barely draw a line with anyone else."
"Yeah, well — this bastard's basically family. Suddenly turning into something this hot is confusing as hell, but... I'll figure it out somehow."
Either find a way to turn them back to normal, or help them adapt and live as a Celestial Fox yokai.
The first option would be ideal — but if it came down to the second...
"What choice do I have? I'll take responsibility."
"There it is again — the scent of a male in heat. Hyeok-jin. Do you truly desire to mate with this child that badly?"
"Ball-buddy or not, what am I supposed to do when the body itself is this fucking hot? I'm barely holding it together by overlaying the image of that old loser nerd on top of this form, but if that bastard makes the first move..."
"You would mate?"
"Bingo. If they come onto me first, that means the repulsion's gone and they've accepted being a 'female.' When that happens... I'm going full pure-love romance mode."
"And if, before that, the narrow-eyed middle-aged guy, the blonde tanned thug, and the pig-faced otaku all try to NTR you?"
San-gun asked with gleaming, thoroughly entertained eyes. The bald man answered with killing intent pouring off him in waves.
"Then I make sure they can never reproduce again. Or I just drag them here and feed them to you. Either works."
"...Is that not a bit much? This lady is not a garbage disposal."
San-gun wrinkled her nose in distaste. The bald man snorted and shook his head.
"Says the tiger who loves eating people more than anything. Quit the act. I'm heading out. Next time I come by, I'll bring you something decent to eat."
"Yokai, or human?"
"Two-Plus grade beef."
"That is not so bad either."
The instant San-gun finished speaking, the dark cave dissolved, and the Celestial Fox and the bald man found themselves back in a house that had been completely demolished by tentacles.
"She really did a number on this place, that fucking bitch."
Cursing at the carnage the insane shaman had left behind, the bald man pulled out a uniquely shaped talisman and poured his power into it.
"Hate to use this — it's rare as hell... but what can I do? My fault for not getting here sooner. Butterfly Dream."
"Was it a man dreaming of being a butterfly,"
"or a butterfly dreaming of being a man?"
⟨ Butterfly Dream ⟩
His calm voice echoed through the house, and the talisman began to glow.
Rrrumble...
As the talisman's radiant light touched every corner of the room, the wreckage restored itself. Furniture smashed to pieces by tentacles fully repaired and settled back into place.
The Celestial Fox, touched by the light, stirred as if caught in a nightmare — then smiled peacefully and sank back into sleep.
Confirming that everything had returned to the way it was before the tentacle attack, the man watched the talisman crumble into a handful of ash and smiled faintly.
"I saved you, so from now on that horny, fluffy, warm, cozy, glossy, soft little tail of yours is mine, you bitch."
