I'll Do Whatever You Say, So Please!! (Afterstory 3)
Botal Rabbit bounced away from the scene, accepting the enthusiastic farewells from a group of nameless D-class heroes. “Thanks for your hard work today!!” “Yeah, yeah, take it easy~”
For the past several weeks she had thrown herself into active villain suppression as an act of sincere penance. Normally she would have shoved the responsibility onto the assigned heroes and run off to play with Iron Colossus, but….
Ughhhhhh… aaaaagh…!!
She crouched on the rooftop of a deserted villa and screamed without making a sound. How could this happen!! After everything she had done!
She kicked at the empty air a few times before crouching down again and muttering furiously. “That Thunderbird bitch… no! Those bitches!!”
The reason the ever-confident Botal Rabbit—who took pride in striding boldly wherever she went—had been reduced to this state traced back to the day after she had secretly watched Iron Colossus and Thunderbird’s animalistic sex.
Inside the treatment room of Dr. Wilhelmina de Boa, chief physician at the Superhuman Emergency Center, an unappointed hero had once again barged in without warning.
“At least you didn’t come through the window today. Well done.”
“This is… this is real!”
Wilhelmina beamed with the knowing smile of someone who already understood the situation. Botal Rabbit wanted to explode in rage, but she had no choice but to swallow her boiling fury. The other woman held the hilt of the knife.
“It’s the pill, right? The morning-after pill?”
“You don’t even have to ask.”
“Oh dear, I believe I told you last time. In exchange for keeping your secret, you must tell me exactly how you managed to ovulate.”
“You… you are the absolute worst.”
Botal Rabbit’s face burned crimson as she stammered. “That…”
“If it’s too difficult to say all at once, shall we take it step by step? Let’s see… how about using the five W’s and one H? You know how much I love this.”
Wilhelmina drew closer with a victor’s smile and whispered sweetly. “When.”
“Yesterday….”
“Still within seventy-two hours! What a relief. Hehe. Very well… ‘Who.’”
“Tran… Tran Van Bao.”
“Hmm. And who is that? A foreigner… the name sounds Vietnamese?”
“Yeah… F-class… porter.”
“Wow! Oh my goodness!! You! You really have fallen that far!!”
Wilhelmina clapped with an exaggerated smile. “An F-class porter!! The one you entered the Seoul Gate incident with…?”
“…Yes.”
“Aha! So that’s when your eyes met! Goodness, that was more than two weeks ago, wasn’t it? So for those entire two weeks you kept…?”
“Yes!! That’s exactly what happened! So what!! What are you going to do about it!!”
When Botal Rabbit burst out shouting, Wilhelmina shook her head with a gentle sway. “Oh come now. How could I possibly scold a patient who came to see me? Let’s just say… the induced ovulation was the real problem. Yes, yes. That must be it. There’s no way you would have truly cheated on him… Well then, let’s call it ‘using’ him!”
“Ughhh…!! Your tastes are seriously the worst!”
“Thank you for the compliment. Now, let’s continue. ‘What’ did you do?”
Botal Rabbit hung her head completely. Wilhelmina gently stroked her shoulder and encouraged her until she finally spoke.
“You can do it. It will feel so much better once you let it out. That’s a doctor’s job, after all—listening to a patient’s most intimate secrets and providing the proper treatment.”
“…We had… s-sex…”
“How?”
“Ugh… ugh… Intensely…”
“Mhm. For two whole weeks. Intensely. Right? And in the end it felt so good you ovulated?”
“Grrrrk…!!”
As Botal Rabbit writhed in utter shame, Wilhelmina chuckled and stepped back. “Where?”
“In the rabbit hole…”
“Oh my god!! You live with Iron Colossus! You did it somewhere he could have been?!”
“…Yes! That’s what happened! So what!”
“So what indeed! It means you’re actually quite proud of yourself!! All right, this is the final question. Answer this and—oh my! You receive free illegal morning-after pills that leave no medical records!!”
“Ugh… ugh…”
“Now… tell me. ‘Why’ did you do it?”
“You already know… you already know. Why are you making me say it…!”
“Because it only has meaning if you say it yourself.”
Wilhelmina spoke in a quiet, honeyed voice like a devil’s whisper. It only has meaning if you say it yourself. Confess your preferences proudly….
After staring at the morning-after pill clutched in Wilhelmina’s hand for a long time, Botal Rabbit lowered her head and mumbled.
“To ovulate.”
“Louder!”
“To trigger… induced ovulation!! Because I only ovulate when I have sex! I was going to… present it! Present it to Iron Colossus as a gift—why! What!!”
“Ahahaha!! This is absolutely the best!! The eggs that refused to come no matter how much you did it with the man you love—you had to obtain them from another man! And then you were going to offer that very thing to the man you love!! Ahahaha!!”
Wilhelmina clapped wildly, collapsed across the treatment table, and howled with laughter. When Botal Rabbit began to shake, she wiped away her own tears and finally handed over the pill box. As Botal Rabbit reached out, Wilhelmina flicked her wrist and pulled it away at the last second.
“Incidentally, the fact that you still need this pill after going through all the trouble to ovulate as a gift means that midway through you simply offered the ovulated egg to another man, doesn’t it?”
“No…!! After that I was forced!”
“How very convincing. Don’t you think? An S-class being forced?”
“There were circumstances! Special circumstances!!”
“The circumstances are what your womb received, and we call that ejaculation. Ahahaha!!”
Wilhelmina sneered and casually tossed the pill box at Botal Rabbit. After glaring at her and breathing heavily for a long moment, Botal Rabbit huffed, turned on her heel, and stormed out of the room.
“Ugh.”
Botal Rabbit had just returned to her hospital room, swallowed the pill, and gulped it down when the message from Thunderbird arrived. She stared at her phone for a moment, conflicted. The woman who had been rolling around with her man only half a day ago was suddenly calling her? And at a time when Iron Colossus was conveniently absent?
She lightly prepared for battle and headed to Thunderbird’s hospital room. If the woman tried anything, she had to subdue her before the lightning could be unleashed.
—Click.
“You’re supposed to knock before entering, aren’t you?”
“What’s the point of knocking between us?”
Botal Rabbit grumbled as she dragged a chair over and plopped down heavily across from Thunderbird’s bed. For some reason she couldn’t look directly at the bed. It only made her picture Iron Colossus rolling around on it….
“So you watched without knocking yesterday too?”
“Pfft?! Kgh! Kgh!!”
She spat out the water she had been drinking, choked violently, and only after coughing her lungs out did Botal Rabbit look up at Thunderbird with teary eyes. Thunderbird was watching her with a subtle, knowing smile.
“Y-you saw…?”
“How did it feel using the sight of your man getting fucked as masturbation material?”
“W-were you always this crude…?”
“Yes. I figured it was fine to speak this way now. Botal Rabbit.”
Thunderbird leaned back lazily against the bed and wore the smile of a victor. The expression irritated Botal Rabbit so much that she shouted.
“You think just because you did it once—! Iron Colossus would choose you?!”
“It wasn’t once. We did it four times last night alone. But of course he wouldn’t choose me. He isn’t someone with as light an ass as you.”
“Ghk!!”
When Botal Rabbit let out a bizarre shriek because she couldn’t find a comeback, Thunderbird chuckled softly.
“Do you know the principle behind microphones and speakers, Botal Rabbit?”
“Wh-what the hell does that have to do with anything all of a sudden!”
“Their common point is that both operate using electricity.”
—Crackle!!
Thunderbird flicked her hand, and sparks danced at her fingertips. Suddenly a strange noise began to leak from between her fingers.
“Oh my, we’re right above the ER so it even picks up sounds like these?”
“…What the hell is this…?”
Botal Rabbit asked in a voice that suggested she truly did not want to know, trembling with dread. The cold truth immediately crashed down on her.
“Real-time acoustic transmission system. Feat. Thunderbird. If I know the location, I can eavesdrop on every event that occurs inside this hospital.”
“That… then… so you’re saying…”
“You’re asking if I also heard about the morning-after pill and induced ovulation? Yes. I did.”
“You crazy bitch!! There’s a thing called privacy in this world!!”
When Botal Rabbit shrieked, Thunderbird covered her mouth and laughed in an elegant, old-fashioned manner.
“There’s also a thing called chastity in this world, you know?”
“You… you got fucked by a Chinese villain only half a day ago!!”
“And during that process an S-class hero was watching you ovulate and get impregnated in real time. Yes. That’s correct.”
“Kyaaaaaagh!!!”
The moment Botal Rabbit, driven mad with rage, tried to rampage, Thunderbird’s cold voice slid into her ear.
“But you know… are you sure it’s all right to feel so relieved?”
“Wh-what?”
“The child. It was something Iron Colossus said he wanted, wasn’t it? Hehe, how adorable. To think a hero’s dream is to build a happy family.”
“What’s wrong with that!! What is it!!”
“No, it’s truly wonderful. I have the same thought. A precious child who resembles half him and half me, waking up together in the same house, in my bed. How happy that would be. Don’t you think?”
Those words hit Botal Rabbit like a bucket of ice water, instantly cooling her head. What the hell was this crazy woman saying?
Botal Rabbit, who had been ready to pounce at any moment, gritted her teeth and hunched forward. “Iron Colossus is mine.”
“Yes. For now he is yours.”
“And he will stay that way!! You think I’d hand him over to the likes of you?”
“Do you really believe Iron Colossus will never sleep with me again? If I clung to him sobbing like a tragic heroine, he would smile bitterly and think, ‘This is just comfort.’ Yes. That’s exactly what he did yesterday. So I decided.”
I want to live being comforted by him for the rest of my life. In this man’s arms.
“Therefore, I will not give up now. No—I cannot. I will be the one to bear Iron Colossus’s child.”
“Crazy… you’re crazy…”
“Knowing his personality, how do you think he would react if I became pregnant with his child?”
Botal Rabbit could picture the scene all too easily. Iron Colossus. That blunt, stone-like man would never be able to abandon his own child. Even if it had been conceived without love, through an affair.
Therefore, Iron Colossus would try to take ‘responsibility’ for the pregnant Thunderbird.
“I won’t… let that happen…!!”
“Then you had better work hard. Hehe. You need to run fast, little rabbit. If I get pregnant first… you’ll be the one cast aside, won’t you?”
There is a thunderbird that flies above a running rabbit.
Thunderbird covered her mouth and laughed elegantly, like a noblewoman, as she watched her. The artificial expression only fueled Botal Rabbit’s anger further. She stomped her foot with a loud bang!!
“Just you wait!! I’ll get pregnant with Iron Colossus’s child before you, and at the wedding I’ll throw the bouquet right at your face!!”
After a long session of violent stumping—the act of an angry rabbit pounding their feet—Botal Rabbit hopped out of the hospital room.
Thunderbird watched her retreating back, chuckled softly, and thought to herself.
The rabbit has already won. This was probably what Dr. Mentis… that mantis bitch intended. Good. Then the next opponent is….
Botal Rabbit might not have noticed it herself, but that woman was currently giving off a thick scent. The ripe, ready-to-mate scent of a female in heat. Humans had long since lost their pheromone-sensing organs, but superhumans were different. The keen sense of smell possessed by a sufficiently powerful superhuman had sensitivity comparable to a beast’s vomeronasal organ.
She was walking around proudly advertising her sexual maturity like that. On top of being shackled with the induced ovulation trait, how long could Botal Rabbit possibly endure?
Therefore, that light-assed bitch had already won.
With eyes full of certainty, Thunderbird watched Botal Rabbit’s departing figure and recalled the remaining rivals. Wilhelmina de Boa. Dr. Mentis. That one was certain. And Onyx Knight… she probably harbored feelings for Iron Colossus as well.
Good. She could win. It didn’t matter if her starting line was late. She had already secured a far more dominant position than any other competitor.
The right to regularly share Iron Colossus’s bed.
She had obtained exactly that!
With a refreshed expression, Thunderbird lay back in bed, stretched, and sank into thought. Thunderbird. The thunderbird. A legendary divine beast from North American myth. And the apex predator that once ruled the skies of North America during the Neogene period—Argentavis. The largest raptor in geological history. The eyes of that predator glittered a piercing blue.
