Open Up--!! Demon King--!!! (9)
Pyra handed the last customer a Dragon Dick EX, then bowed low at the waist.
"...Thank you for your patronage."
As the customers drifted away one by one and quiet finally settled over the street, she at last let the tension drain from her locked shoulders.
Her face was still flushed hot, and the memory of dealing with dozens of customers only moments earlier sent a fresh wave of shame rolling through her.
She hurried straight into the wrecked shop.
Inside the shabby tent, the Hero was lounging in a chair, biting into an apple.
Crunch.
"Oh, you done?"
That single, carefree line snapped Pyra's patience clean in half.
"Am I done...?"
She braced a hand on the desk and demanded,
"To put me through humiliation this vile—!!! What on earth were you thinking?"
The Hero looked at her for a moment, then gave a little shrug.
"Khkh..."
"...?"
"Ahahahahahahahahahaha—!!"
She finally lost it and doubled over, clutching her stomach as she laughed.
"You remember earlier, when you were selling The Fundamentals of Fapping? Reading every single page out loud for them, lololol."
At the Hero's words, Pyra's brow twitched hard.
"...Hero."
"Hm?"
"Laugh one more time and I will cut you down."
The Hero clapped a hand over her mouth at once, but the laughter still leaked through and refused to stop.
"Khheheheheh...!! Wanna work another shift next time?"
Pyra sighed and got to the point.
"I'm finished... Destroying the shop was my responsibility. I have a royal order to carry out now."
"...A royal order?"
"Have you forgotten."
Pyra asked, her face gone completely serious.
"Yep. Forgot."
"...... How honest of you. I was meant to verify the rumor that the Demon King has produced an heir."
The Hero tilted her head, then answered with perfect nonchalance.
"Ah, right. Lady Demon King."
"I believe I should hear, first of all, why you call her 'Lady' Demon King."
"To me, Lady Demon King is just Firva's pet name."
"Excuse me...?"
"She and I have a relationship words can't really describe...."
The Hero flushed and looked away.
"She tests all my new products for me every day, and she gives me the most incredible inspiration—not the old-man kind—"
"She tests your new products....?"
Pyra froze on the spot.
"Yep!! Most of the stuff in here, Lady Demon King tried first!!"
"........."
"Sometimes when I get all serious with her, the way she flinches is just ridiculously cute~! How can a Demon King be that adorable?"
"I-Is that even possible...?"
"Why not? Of course it is."
The Hero nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Pyra stood blankly for a moment under that explanation, then finally pulled herself together.
"Very well..."
"Hm?"
Grab.
She seized the Hero's wrist and said,
"You're coming with me."
"Huh?"
"We'll meet the Demon King ourselves and confirm the truth."
At Pyra's sudden declaration, the Hero blinked.
"Right now?"
"Yes. Right now."
"Hold on, I still have to close up the shop today—"
Drag.
Pyra had no intention of letting go.
"This is a royal order."
"I never got any royal order?"
"This is a request for cooperation."
"What are you even saying—!!!"
Pyra started walking outside with the Hero's hand locked tight in hers, and the Hero, being hauled along, still burst out laughing in sheer disbelief.
"Ahahahahaha~~!!! Fine, fine! I'll go with you!"
"Do not laugh."
"Sorry, but you were seriously hilarious today~!"
Pyra sighed, but she still didn't release her hand.
She had only one purpose left now.
To meet Demon King Firva in person, and uncover the truth behind the "heir rumor" that had set the whole world buzzing.
Darkness.
In a darkness so deep and cold it seemed to have no end, Firva slowly opened her eyes.
"...Where is this."
There was almost no light at all.
Only damp air and faint footsteps filled the space.
She tried to sit up—then suddenly felt something wrong above her head.
"......?"
The moment she absently touched her hair, Firva's expression went rigid.
"...They're gone?"
Her fingertips no longer found the sharp, hard Demon King horns she had always been able to touch.
Instead—
something soft and warm brushed against her fingers.
"...What."
With a trembling hand she touched it again. It was a pointed beast's ear.
A twitch.
Another twitch.
The vivid sensation of the ear quivering without any say from her will ran straight through her.
"...Cat... ears?"
The color drained from her face in an instant.
"W-What is this...!"
Firva frantically groped over her head with both hands.
Left side.
Right side.
The black horns that should have been there were nowhere to be found, and white cat ears had taken their place.
"Kyaaaaaaah!!"
Her scream rang out through the dark.
"My horns! Where did my horns go!"
Clutching her head, she spun around and shouted into the emptiness.
"Where in the world is this! Who's there! Show yourself at once—!!!"
Only her voice came echoing back. No answer followed.
Firva drew a rough breath and took a step back.
In that moment—
Thud. Thud.
Footsteps sounded from beyond the dark.
".......!"
Firva swallowed hard and stared toward the sound.
From within a black silhouette, someone slowly stepped into view.
"Eheh. Heheheheheh...!!"
It was the Hero.
She wore not her usual bright smile, but a wicked one laced with mischief and conspiracy.
"You're finally awake~!"
Firva's pupils shook hard.
"You...!"
The Hero walked toward her, unhurried.
One step. Then another.
Firva instinctively retreated.
"D... Don't come closer."
Still smiling, the Hero kept coming.
"Lady Demon Kiiiiiiiiing~~!!"
"No!"
Firva's ears shot straight up as she cried out in panic.
"I said stay away!"
She backed away with terror written all over her face—but behind her there was only a cold wall.
The Hero never stopped, steadily closing the distance, and Firva pressed her back to the wall and shouted again in a trembling voice.
"Don't come near me! Get away!"
Firva sank to the floor and began to cry.
"While Lady Demon King was sleeping~! I put the Beast Play Blindfold on you!!"
At the Hero's breezy explanation, Firva's face went stiff.
"What did you say...!! So this was your doing as well—!!"
"There's only one way out of here. The person stuck in a beastkin body has to reach an extreme climax—!!"
"Graaaaaaaaah—!! Even while I sleep, you won't leave me alone—!!"
KRAAAAAAAAAASH—!!!
As Firva roared, a massive sonic wave of magic power slammed into the Hero.
Kuuuuuuuuu...
"Let's get to the main event~!"
Wiiiiiiiiiiing~~!!
Woooooooooom~~!!
The enormous vibrators in both of the Hero's hands began to buzz like mad.
"Hiiiiiiiek—!!!"
"Come on, come on, over here—!! Lady Demon Kiiiiing—!!"
"Nooooo—!! Nngh-goh-goh-goh-goh—!!"
Thrust—!! Thrust—!!
The vibrators plunged into the Demon King's pussy and asshole at the same time.
"Hghk—!! Hngh—!!"
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing—!!
Every time Firva thrashed, the vibrators only grew stronger, and the Hero's laughter swelled right along with them.
"Ahahahahahahaha—!! Lady Demon King, you really are just like a cat—!!"
"I-If this keeps up, it's coming... it's coming out...!!"
Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing—!!
"Hm? What's coming out, Lady Demon King? What's coming out~?"
"I-I'm cummiiiiiiing—!! Nngh-gooooooh—!!"
Psssssssssssssssh—!!!
In that instant, a jet of piss sprayed from the Demon King's pussy like a fountain, straight across the Hero's face.
"Whoaaaaa—!!"
The Hero hurriedly threw both arms up to shield herself from Firva's stream.
Pssht—!! Pssht—!!
"Hic—!! Ooh..."
Thud...
Still twitching, the Demon King collapsed face-first onto the floor.
"Oh dear, oh dear... A cat that pees wherever she likes is going to need a litter pad, isn't she?"
"D... Don't... you dare..."
Slide.
With a chilling smile, the Hero brought a large litter pad under Firva's pussy.
"Behold: the Demon King Exclusive Litter Pad. From now on, you do your business right here."
"Hic... Ooooh..."
Pssht—!!!Driiiiiiiiiip...
With no strength left even to answer, the Demon King began wetting the litter pad.
"Ugh... I am... I am the Demon King..."
"Nope~! This is the beast-play world. Lady Demon King is nothing but a plain little cat~!"
"Khkh... Uuuuuuuu..."
"I... I'm not a caaaat..."
Meanwhile, at that very moment—
"............"
Pyra was looking down at Firva on the bed, still wearing the cat blindfold and twitching.
"What exactly... am I looking at right now..."
"Lady Demon King finishing?"
the Hero answered, perfectly calm.
"That is not what I was asking—!!"
"Then what were you asking?"
"That the Demon King cannot control her own lust—!!"
"...Isn't that just finishing?"
The Hero looked baffled.
"Haa... To walk into the Demon King's Castle this easily..."
Pyra lamented how simply they had entered the Demon King's Castle—a fortress countless royal troops had died for without managing a single step inside.
"I've got a VIP pass, you know~!"
"And what is that..."
"Just hand the castle gatekeeper a limited-edition onahole."
".......... What kind of security is that..."
"It's top secret, so don't tell anyone."
Slide.
The Hero made a quiet-down gesture, and Pyra's face twisted in disgust.
"I'd be too embarrassed to tell anyone anyway."
"Ahaha~! So that settles it, right? Lady Demon King isn't pregnant."
"Yes, yes. I'll find some way to spin the report. Haa..."
Pyra put a hand to her head and sighed.
"I saw something today I never should have seen... To think the Demon King who once ruled the world could fall apart like this..."
"Nngh-euuuh... The litter pad... let me go... I need to peeee..."
"............"
"Want one too?"
Slide.
The Hero held a blindfold out toward Pyra.
"I do not need one—!!!"
