The Demon King's Twisted Bargain
"I… didn't mishear that, right?"
"Of course not. Which of them do you like the most?"
The party members stood frozen like stone while the Demon King laughed. In that moment, my mind went completely blank.
"Is it the elf who maintains eternal beauty? The crown prince beloved by the gods? Or perhaps the noble overflowing with dignity and honor?"
"You're serious? Why the hell would you…"
"Why? Because it's amusing, isn't it?"
This was bad. The moment I chose someone, the others would be hurt. I was terrified that all the friendship and camaraderie we'd built would vanish in an instant.
"Having trouble deciding? Then allow me to help a little."
"What are you trying to do…"
—Snap. The sound of a finger snap echoed through the room, and cracks appeared across the three women's bodies. For a split second I thought something had gone wrong and rushed forward, but then I saw the fragments peeling away and relaxed. She'd released them from petrification all at once.
The freed women collapsed as if they'd been forced to witness something they shouldn't have, staring at the Demon King with terrified eyes. Fear. Every single one of us was filled with it.
"As you all heard, she wishes to mate with this male."
"You're insane."
"There's no need for such crude language. You mortals already understand your position, don't you?"
We all lowered our heads, realizing the truth. Right now, we had no choice but to obey this woman's words. The Demon King, apparently finding our submission amusing, approached with a smile. She came up behind me, slipped her hand inside my clothes, and began groping between my legs and over my chest.
"Are none of you tempted by this body? I may not know much about human standards, but this should be considered a top-tier male."
"..."
"Are you perhaps afraid of not being chosen? How about this—if you all mate with this male, I'll release every one of you."
Yeah, I knew it would come to this. There was no such thing as pure, selfless love in this world. I drove my elbow into the Demon King's chin and broke free from her grasp.
"You don't actually expect us to do this, right? It's obvious she's just toying with us."
"Sihyun…"
Neria stepped in front of me, her complexion dark—whether from the poor lighting or something else. Her long ears were flushed red, and her eyes held an unmistakable hunger. That was when I realized it. The party's friendship was slowly crumbling.
"Sihyun, I couldn't say it before, but I can now. I like you. And… I'm sorry."
"Neria…?"
"That crazy elf!!!"
The other women watching were just as shocked, their mouths hanging open in stunned silence. Then—
—Smooch! It started as a light kiss, but her tongue forced its way inside, catching me completely off guard. This woman wasn't in her right mind. Doing something this bold in front of everyone. I tried to push her away, but the archer's embrace was stronger than my resistance. I couldn't fight back against the forceful kiss and was forced to mix saliva with her.
"Kuh… Neria, what the hell are you—"
"I couldn't say it because of the hero, but I'll say it again. I like you, Sihyun. Ever since that day, I can't stop thinking about you. I can't forget it."
—Thud. I was pushed down onto the floor, my clothes stripped away. The elf climbed on top of me, her face filled with pure joy as she carefully caressed me and pressed her petite hips against mine.
"How many times have you done it with the hero?"
"...That's not something you should ask."
"You're a virgin, aren't you? I can smell the thick scent of semen on you. If you'd been with the hero, there should be some of her fluids mixed in, but there isn't."
She'd figured it out. She realized I was still a virgin—something I hadn't even given to Serin yet. The situation had become as dangerous as pouring five barrels of oil onto a burning house.
"I'm sorry to the hero, but I think I'll be taking this."
"Neria…? Hey, Allen, Bia! Help me out here. This—this isn't right. We're comrades!"
"...I'm sorry. We don't really have a choice either."
Watching Allen avert her gaze, I felt it. This was truly the end. Had I been betrayed? It wasn't really betrayal—I understood why they were doing this. Defeat for the hero meant death. When there was only one way to survive, how could they refuse? In the end, I accepted it too, and gave in to Neria as if surrendering everything.
"You're not going to resist?"
"...Just do whatever you want."
"I love you."
The elf stripped and pressed her sex against mine while the other women watched. Between them, I could see the petrified statue standing rigidly. "I'm sorry." I couldn't put into words the guilt I felt toward Serin. The elf straddled me, aligned our bodies, and took me inside. Her sticky, hot insides clung to me as she moaned and pressed down. The sensation of being forced into that tight space overwhelmed me. I felt my virginity being taken right then and there.
'Took a while, but I finally lost it.' Just not to the person I'd promised it to.
Neria endured the pain and pushed me deeper, clumsily grinding her hips against mine until I could barely hold back my moans.
"Ugh, s-slow down. Please, Neria…!"
"I'm sorry. It feels too good! I'm so happy right now."
Even though we'd barely started, the intense mating made me climax. The thick, potent release would have gotten her pregnant instantly if elves weren't known for their low fertility. The elf, now stained red between her legs, climbed off and licked her lips at the sight of my soiled shaft.
"Someone else will use it too, so… haum."
Neria sucked me clean like a straw, scraping out every last drop left in the urethra.
"Quite the entertaining situation. A party raping the hero's boyfriend. The male who just finished mating won't be moving anytime soon, so…"
"That thing's standing up again. I can go next, right?"
"Wait, Bia! Are you out of your mind?"
Having good stamina was becoming a problem. Even when I wanted to stop, my body refused to let me. Bia approached with a grin, eyeing my erect shaft. Allen tried to stop her, shocked by the saintess's reaction, but Bia didn't hesitate. She grabbed me and exposed her chest.
"It's a shame you were a virgin. I'm not exactly a celibate saint either—I had my eye on you, Sihyun."
"Is this really okay for someone who believes in the gods?"
"Why wouldn't it be? If I get pregnant, Lord Seraph, the God of Life, would be delighted, wouldn't He? It's the noble birth of new life."
"You're all insane."
I looked at the Demon King with hollow eyes. She was laughing brightly, clapping her knees in delight. Ah, it was all over. This party had failed to escape the path of destruction.
"Sniff… the scent of a male really does exist. Allen, aren't you coming? Let's just get this over with together."
"Kuh—! I'm sorry, Sihyun. Once this is all over, I'll take responsibility."
"Ah…"
My mind felt like it was shattering as Allen joined Bia in pinning me down. The Demon King laughed maniacally, as if this were the highlight of the show. Wiping tears from her eyes, she spoke.
"How utterly ridiculous. Twice for all of them being virgins, and twice more for piercing a virgin's shaft that was promised in marriage. But the funniest part is—"
She pointed a cold finger at the statue.
"The most important person here—the hero—is also a virgin. Were none of you capable as females?"
Yet no one refuted the Demon King's words.
"No, there must be another reason you never took a man. With a male of the highest quality right beside you, how could your eyes wander elsewhere? When there's a male who matches you in both appearance and personality, how could you possibly lose interest?"
"That's not true, right? None of you are actually falling for this nonsense."
No one could argue against the Demon King to the very end. Had they already realized it? Neria, who had shown her feelings first, quietly closed her legs and spoke.
"Everyone except me liked him? You kept saying Serin was there, but you never even looked at anyone else."
"T-that's…"
"Hehe."
Bia, who had been laughing nervously, revealed her true colors and embraced me from behind. She caressed my ear while her hand tormented my slick shaft.
"You all wanted this, didn't you? From this body that drives women crazy to that personality of his. Holding back would just make you fools."
I trembled as I witnessed the saintess's corruption firsthand. They were no longer sane. Whether driven mad by fear or something else, they couldn't think straight. Even so, their gazes all converged on my increasingly erect shaft.
"Look at this. You were going to give something like this to the hero? After risking your lives to help, this much compensation is only fair, isn't it?"
"As expected… you humans are quite entertaining. You've given me new stimulation after nearly a hundred years of finding no interest beyond battle."
The small-statured Demon King fluttered her oversized wings and grabbed my chin, revealing her vertically slit reptilian pupils as she declared to the women present:
"I'm in a good mood. I'll spare all of you. However, every morning, you will mate with this hero in front of me. If you do, I'll guarantee your survival."
"Neria?"
Instead of answering, Neria climbed onto my erect shaft. I could feel the other women's gazes toward the elf shifting slightly. Jealousy. They were jealous that she'd taken my virginity.
