Chapter 5
[The protagonist is never subjected to this. This only happens within villain groups.
The following contains gore and hardcore SM.]
1.
A place that looked like an abandoned city. With no sign of people, it looked like the sort of place commonly called a ghost town. Iris walked through it as if she knew it well. The bleeding from both her arms had already stopped.
When she entered a building, she found a man sitting there, using women as chairs. A woman wrapped her breasts around each of his feet and licked them, while two more women were already licking his penis between his legs.
Every woman had a glowing red womb tattoo on her stomach.
"You're back, Iris."
"Master…"
Iris continued, her voice trembling with tears.
"I-I'm sorry… An Esper showed up…"
"Did you think I'd throw you away as useless just because you failed? No. Even your death has to be useful to me."
"Y-yes!"
Iris answered, her face brightening at the man's words. When he raised his hand and pointed at her, one of the women licking his penis crawled over to Iris.
With a wet smack, the woman licked Iris's hand. Light shone around both of Iris's arms, and they quickly healed.
As soon as Iris's arms had healed, the woman crawled back to the man. Iris took off her clothes and prostrated herself on the ground.
A glowing red womb tattoo marked her abdomen, too.
"Thank you, Master!"
"Still, you failed, so how about a little punishment?"
"Yes!"
At the man's snap of his fingers, a woman in a maid outfit came in pushing a room-service cart. The outfit left her breasts and crotch so exposed it could hardly be called clothing.
The cart had been modified into an open design, and there was a person inside it.
A woman with her arms and legs cut off, twitching.
Who was that again? Iris blinked.
A huge blindfold covered her eyes and everything above her nose. Though a gag was stuffed in her mouth, drool dribbled out. Her breasts bore bite marks as if from a beast, and blood mixed with breast milk ran from her nipples. A red, glowing womb tattoo writhed on her stomach amid vivid bruises, while her genitals were torn in every direction and spread open so the inside of her vagina was visible. A fluid of semen and vaginal lubrication flowed out.
"Eat."
"Yes."
Iris picked up the knife and fork lying beside her.
The knife plunged down, slicing off the breast before her eyes.
"Keeeegh!!"
Was she still alive?
Hearing the scream brought the memory back. She couldn't remember the name, though.
Wasn't she the one who'd said, 'Senior, please come to your senses!'? She had cute silver hair. Iris remembered beating her in the stomach until she could no longer speak, because she kept talking back.
Iris's hand paused for a moment as she thought about it. Seeing that, the man gave a snort and said,
"I couldn't stand that she had such a worthless ability, just a simple boost to her physical abilities. What a dud pull, right?"
"So I stepped on her stomach a little as punishment, and she thanked me through her tears and snot. That was kind of funny, so I rewarded her by making her produce some breast milk, but then she pissed herself again. I gave her a few wounds on her pussy, but even then she enjoyed it."
"Anyway, since you brought back a piece of trash, you can eat her up."
Iris nodded. Honestly, she wasn't sure if that was true, but if Master said so, it must be. Even if Master called a deer a horse, she'd smile and agree with him now.
"Go on and eat. If you want to serve me."
"Yes! I'll eat her up right away!"
Thinking of her master's twitching penis, Iris boldly brought her knife to the girl before her. The girl was still alive, so her screams continued to spill through the gag.
[Gore ends.]
2.
"A ceiling I don't recognize…"
A familiar line, uttered as soon as I opened my eyes.
"You're awake, Ms. Lapis?"
Peridot was looking at me, both arms in braces. I searched my memories.
I remembered being attacked by a witch named Iris and watching us fall one by one.
"How am I still alive…?"
Iris was so strong we couldn't even lay a hand on her. The real problem was that we couldn't even figure out what her ability was. We'd simply been defeated one-sidedly by her overwhelming physical abilities and absurd amount of magic.
"I did some investigating, too."
Villain name: The Collector. Threat rank: A.
A villain who has the A-rank witch Iris under his command, as well as more than a dozen B-rank witches.
His ability as a villain is mind control. He has also corrupted magical girls before, using that to learn the terms of their contracts and turn them into witches one by one.
The most prominent witch under his control is Iris. Her ability is apparently called 'Amplification,' and she uses it to crush her opponents with overwhelming magic and physical strength.
"What a piece of shit…"
Ruby had woken up at some point and sighed. I had a similar reaction after hearing what Peridot had learned, but I held back.
My head hurt too much to talk, anyway.
"By the way, Ms. Lapis, your boyfriend is quite something."
"…My boyfriend?"
What did she mean? Did I have a boyfriend I didn't know about?
"Aren't you dating Dojin?"
"No, we're just friends…"
"What, have you already done everything?"
"We haven't!!"
Ruby cut in while I was answering Peridot and said something completely unacceptable, making me shout without thinking.
It occurred to me that I might've shouted because I'd used Dojin as material without realizing it. Maybe I wanted to keep that secret. People naturally hide the things they feel guilty about.
My head started hurting after I shouted, and my face scrunched up on its own. Did I look annoyed?
"Then why do you masturbate while calling Dojin's name?"
Peridot's follow-up left me unable to say anything.
My fingers fidgeted together without my realizing it.
"Uh… well…"
"Using your male friend as material…"
At Ruby's words, all I could do was lower my head.
My body trembled with embarrassment, and my face felt like it was on fire.
It was true that I'd masturbated while using Dojin as material. But I thought no one could hear me! This room's soundproofing is awful!
After I calmed down a little, I cautiously raised my head and said,
"…Isn't using him as material at least fair game…?"
"I'll accept that if you can go say the same thing to another woman."
At Ruby's words, I lowered my head again. Of course that wouldn't be okay.
Imagine if I'd still been a man and went up to a popular girl at my university and said, 'I masturbated while using you as material.'
I'd be socially finished. I'd probably be arrested for sexual harassment. No, before that, the guys who wanted to impress her would beat me so badly I couldn't even get back up.
"I thought no one would hear…"
So, I have nothing to say…
As I sat there, so embarrassed I couldn't lift my face, someone in a doctor's coat knocked and entered the room.
The doctor talked about various things, then wrapped up by saying,
"Still, since all three of you are B-rank, you should recover quickly. If you were ordinary people, at least two of you probably wouldn't have made it…"
Was he talking about Ruby and me?
In terms of the area injured, Peridot had it worst since both her arms were broken, so her recovery was the slowest. But when it came to injuries close to fatal, Ruby and I had been the ones in the most danger.
"In any case, please rest for at least a day."
With that, the doctor left the hospital room, leaving the three of us alone again.
Ruby glanced toward the door and spoke, as if checking that the doctor had really gone.
"So what exactly is your relationship?"
"I told you, we're friends."
"Do people usually use their friends like that?"
All I could do was lower my head again. My face was so red, I could probably use it as a frying pan. I wanted to wash it.
I'd used my friend as material, and then they'd caught me. The embarrassment was so overwhelming I couldn't even lift my head.
"I admit I was wrong… Please don't bring it up again…"
I admitted defeat. Though it felt like I'd been thoroughly beaten from the start.
3.
After being discharged from the hospital and returning to my room, I agonized over it.
Not masturbating wasn't an option. This sexy, national-treasure-level body seemed to have gotten into the habit of heating up regularly, and my lower abdomen was already tingling as if getting ready for me to masturbate.
The only option was to bite down on a blanket while I did it.
Wait, was I supposed to cover my own mouth and masturbate? That was ridiculously perverted.
I fell silent for a moment, thinking I'd become way too perverted.
But I couldn't just throw that option out. Wouldn't biting down on a blanket and covering my own mouth be more decent than letting the room next door hear me masturbate?
While I agonized over it,
What about the bathroom…?
The thought flashed through my mind. Maybe the sound of the water could cover my moans. No one could come into my room anyway.
Instead of trying to calm my pounding heart, I went straight to the bathroom.
The shower poured down in a strong rush. After adjusting the temperature to something comfortably warm, I let the water run over me and enjoyed my shower.
If that had been my routine until now, then I had to add a new action to it.
As I realized that, my nipples grew harder and more sensitive than usual. For some reason, the water pouring from the shower suddenly felt erotic.
"Mmm♡, mm♡"
I immediately began masturbating, rubbing my clitoris. With this sensitive body, even the slightest touch sent a dizzying wave of pleasure through me…
"Ah, ha♡ N-not enough…"
Something was missing. What was it? I paused for a moment.
Was it impossible without material after all?
But ever since Ruby and Peridot found out I'd masturbated while using Dojin as material, it was hard to think of him. Just remembering him made my face flush with embarrassment, and I wanted to hide somewhere.
In the meantime, I felt my body, which had refused to cool down, gradually growing cooler. Instead of the tingling in my lower abdomen, I felt a tickling sensation in my chest.
It felt like a warm embrace. Before I knew it, I was giggling. I finished my shower with the feeling that someone was holding me warmly.
