The stadium in the high school department of Ataraxia. It was a facility mainly for the sake of carrying out the activity of track and field compet.i.tions, but it was twice as s.p.a.cious as a normal stadium. That was because it was also used as the practice of the combat department. There was consideration for practicing Technical Gears and depending on the situation it could also be used for mock battles.

However it wasn’t a.s.sumed that it would be used for the match that was currently carried out.

The students of the research department were observing that match with their feelings in suspense.

“I beg you~, don’t destroy the stadium too much okayyy……we are the ones that will get scoldeddddd-!”

Huge metallic lumps were clas.h.i.+ng.

The shockwave and the clas.h.i.+ng sound reached even the students who were observing on the stands. As though their eyes reflexively closed and their bodies stiffened as though hands were clapped in front of their eyes.

“Kyaa!”

“A, amazing……this is, a battle between fellow super large types……”

Just by looking the pressure was overwhelming.

The observer stand vibrated, making those standing stagger on their feet. The raised wind flapped the skirts. Because of the uniform with short skirts, the underwear beneath became fully exposed, but it wasn’t the time to look at that because all the eyes were fixed on the impressiveness in front of their eyes.

Two large type magic armors. One of the pilots raised a yelling voice.

“I will receive the victory mark today! Sylvia!”

Ragrus’s small body was settled in the huge magic armor. Demon was charging as though it was sliding on the field of the stadium. And then it raised its fist. The strong arm that was the largest weapon of Demon struck.

“Sylvia won’t let that happen desu!”

Sylvia’s Taros blocked that strong arm.

“Kuu!”

The impact shook Taros and Sylvia that was settled at its center. The slight groan leaked from that small mouth, and then Sylvia’s grimacing face made Ragrus’s movement stop.

“Sylvia?”

“It’s fine desu! Sylvia is still continuing desu!”

This time Taros’s strong arm attacked Demon. Rather than calling that an arm it was more of a hammer. A metallic lump like a large vault with a door attached. That was Taros’s right arm.

“HAAAAAAA!”

And then the left arm was a flat cube. Just by getting struck with that, even concrete would be easily pulverized, but one could understand from the two opened muzzles that it was the barrel of a particle cannon. A distance of just a few meters were closed with the thruster of posture control and then that muzzle was directed at Demon.

“From this near!?”

Ragrus was driven by nervousness. She wasted no time to move Demon’s left hand to the front. Life Saver was deployed on the palm. However Sylvia instantly lowered the muzzle and aimed at Demon’s leg.

The purple light particles that were fired hit Demon’s knee.

“Chih! The right leg got hit!? The damage?”

Ragrus’s eyes roamed through the window opened in front of her body that displayed Demon’s condition. There the display that the right leg was unable to be used was flickering.

“Cheh! Troublesome!”

While spitting that out she cut the driving force of the right leg.

At a mock battle projectile weapons like the particle cannon had the output set to the lowest setting. In exchange the state of the impact was a.n.a.lyzed and it decided how much damage was received. Following that decision the match was continued with the a.s.sumption of receiving that damage. What Ragrus was doing right now was following that rule.

“It’s uncool so I don’t’ want to really do it but……”

Ragrus thrust both of Demon’s arms to the ground and did a handstand.

“Eeh!?’

Sylvia was also taken by surprise at that stance.

“Here I go Sylvia! After all I also hate consecutive losses!”

Demon dashed using the hand like legs. It pa.s.sed through Taros’s side and disappeared from Sylvia’s field of vision.

“Fast-!?”

Demon’s speed was even faster than when it was running with its legs. And then its posture control using the huge palm was far more nimble than usual.

As expected even Sylvia got led around by the nose.

‘――But, if it is with the combination of the left hand’s particle cannon and the main cannon(Ignis)!’

Sylvia made Taros turned around and ignited her large rocket. Ragrus opened her eyes wide towards Taros that was heading to her with a body blow.

“No way-!?”

‘Even though I thought I had taken absolute distance!’ While cursing inside her heart, Demon bent its arm and gathered strength before straightening all at once, jumping to the air.

Taros pa.s.sed through below Demon. However Taros stuck an anchor from one of its legs and faced the falling Demon with its hammer striking.

“HAAAAAAAAAAA!”

“SYLVIAAAAAAAAAAA!”

Even while receiving intense impact, the hammer of Taros’s right arm was blocked.

“Guh……u!”

Igniting the thruster, Demon matched the motion of the hammer to escape from the impact.

“!?”

Taros’s posture broke with its inability to stop the momentum.

“I got you!”

Ragrus got away from Taros’s hammer and landed at a close range. At that time she had already made the preparation to strike a punch.

But, at that time what was reflected in Ragrus’s eyes was the appearance of Sylvia’s grimacing expression with a pale face.

“!!”

Ragrus floated a console of light and touched the b.u.t.ton for emergency suspension of the match. Sirens immediately resounded inside the stadium and the magic armors stopped functioning.

“Sylvia!”

Ragrus got out from Demon and leaped at Taros. When Ragrus’s body separated from Demon, the magic armor became beads of light and vanished.

“Eh, Ragrus-chan. What’s the matter desu?”

Ragrus shouted with a voice that was colored by anger.

“What do you mean what’s the matter! How can you say that with that kind of face!”

Ragrus lent her shoulder to Sylvia and she pulled her out from Taros.

“Good grief……it’s still impossible for you to do anything like a mock battle!”

“Ehehe, recently Sylvia felt good so I thought that perhaps it’s fine already desu……”

“Everyday life and battle is completely different!”

After Sylvia’s body got down on the ground, Taros’s body became light similar to Demon and vanished. The ambulance came at that timing. The research department and the rescue squad department came rus.h.i.+ng after receiving the contact of the emergency suspension. A stretcher was carried from the car and the rescue students dashed towards Ragrus.

“Ragrus-san, please put Sylvia-san on the stretcher.”

“No need! I’ll carry Sylvia to the hospital!”

Ragrus said bitingly while embracing Sylvia’s body.

A cool voice cut in from behind the bewildered rescue squad.

“Ragrus, leave this to the specialists.”

“Hyakurath, sama……”

With her golden ponytail swaying, the captain of the Leon squad of Vatlantis Empire’s imperial guard, and also the cla.s.s representative of second year first group, Hyakurath had come. And then beside her was Mercuria of Tigris squad.

“But-! I’m!”

Mercuria put her hand on her waist and talked admonis.h.i.+ngly.

“However Ragrus, the place she will be carried to is not the hospital, it’s Nayuta Lab.”

“Uu……!”

“You don’t even understand where she will be carried to in the first place――”

Hyakurath raised her hand and stopped Mercuria.

“Everyone of the rescue squad, please.”

Following Hyakurath’s instruction, the relief squad took over Sylvia from Ragrus’s arms, they put her on the stretcher and brought her to the ambulance. The moment the door closed, the car dashed away with its sirens roaring. Ragrus was staring at the back figure of the ambulance with worried gaze.

“It will be fine. There is no danger to Sylvia-san’s life.”

Hyakurath gently put her hand on Ragrus’s shoulder.

“……I guess. That’s right, that’s only obvious.”

Ragrus recovered her calm a little and looked up to the sky. Over there the result of the match was displayed. Two minutes fourteen seconds after the start, it was Ragrus’s defeat due to her surrender.

“Aa―aa, it became consecutive defeats……”

Sounds of applause reached the ears of Ragrus who looked up to the sky. When she looked around thinking what happened, the students who were watching the match from the stands were clapping towards Ragrus.

“What? What’s this?”

Ragrus looked up to Hyakurath looking for an answer.

“Everyone is moved you know?”

“Ha?”

Ragrus’s face scowled.

Hyakurath also looked at Ragrus with a happy face and applauded.

“They applauded your friends.h.i.+p with Sylvia-san, and your n.o.ble heart.”

“Eh……”

Ragrus’s face became red in a flash.

“Tha, that’s stupid!? So, something like that”

However the thundering applause was growing increasingly louder.

“Aah―, geez! I’m going already!”

She rushed out as though running away. Mercuria called out to that back with a mean face.

“Ah, Ragrus! It’s not the hospital but the lab remember! Don’t get mistaken!”

“SHUUUUUUUUUUUT UP-!”

Ragrus’s figure vanished towards the exit while it looked like she almost tumbled.

Battles.h.i.+p Ataraxia was cruising at an alt.i.tude of ten kilometers in the sky. Beneath a sea of cloud spreading, they couldn’t confirm what was happening in Necropolis, but in return surely Osiris also couldn’t see Ataraxia from where she was.

Inside the s.h.i.+p’s cell, an investigation was happening.

“Yuris.h.i.+a Farandole. Answer my question.”

Zelcyone who was equipping Teros was peering into the eyes of Yuris.h.i.+a who was sitting on the bed. Inside Zelcyone’s eyes, a magic circle was floating. It was the proof that Zelcyone was using her ability to rule over the opponent’s mind and controlled her as she pleased.

“What are you planning? There is no way that this me will listen to what you are saying don’t you think? There is only one person in this world who can command me. Only my mother Osiris-sama.”

She glared at Zelcyone with a gaze filled with hatred.

“Yuris.h.i.+a……”

That abrupt change of att.i.tude also inflicted shock to Kizuna who was present there.

Reacting to Kizuna’s murmur, Yuris.h.i.+a directed a piercing gaze at him.

“This coward. To put this kind of thing on me and rob me of my strength……”

Yuris.h.i.+a touched the ring of magic power control wrapped around her neck. That was something used once on Yuris.h.i.+a and the others when they became prisoners in the Vatlantis Empire. It caused the wearer to become unable to use magic power and also made it impossible to equip magic armor.

“What happened Yuris.h.i.+a? Don’t you know me?”

Yuris.h.i.+a gritted her teeth audibly.

“I know you. Hida Kizuna……as the captain of Amaterasu, you made use of your position to do as you pleased with my body, a cowardly man.”

“Eh……?”

Kizuna’s heart spontaneously jumped in shock.

“I really wondered just what was going on with myself until now. But, after meeting mother I understood my true self. I am not Yuris.h.i.+a, I am fated to become Isis. After accepting Isis’s soul I will be able to become mother’s daughter, yet!”

She stood up from the bed and instantly a.s.saulted Kizuna.

“Yuris.h.i.+a!?”

A sharp punch aimed at Kizuna’s jaw.

“Kuh!”

Stepping back, Kizuna barely dodged. However Kizuna’s back b.u.mped into the wall of the cell. There Yuris.h.i.+a’s leg leaped up. The muscle hidden by the plump thigh drove her supple long leg like a whip and struck at Kizuna’s head.

“Guah!”

Kizuna’s body was thrown to the wall and he was a.s.saulted by light concussion. Yuris.h.i.+a immediately circled on Kizuna’s back and constricted his neck.

“Zelcyone! If you don’t want Kizuna’s neck to be broken, free me from here!”

With a bored looking face Zelcyone heaved a deep sigh.

“Do as you please.”

“-……I’m really, going to kill him here!”

“――So, you hear that right? What are you going to do Kizuna?”

“Gu……”

While his neck was constricted, Kizuna touched the controller put on his finger.

“Kyaaaa-!”

At that moment a magic circle s.h.i.+ned on Yuris.h.i.+a’s choker. A shock that resembled electricity traveled through Yuris.h.i.+a’s body, paralyzing her.

“Ku……, you……”

Even when she tried to curse, her tongue was in a paralyzed state. Kizuna separated from Yuris.h.i.+a’s arm and he gently lied down her body on the bed.

“I’ll come again……Yuris.h.i.+a.”

Leaving those words behind, Kizuna and Zelcyone came out from the cell.

Listening to the sound of the door locking, Kizuna heaved a deep sigh. And then he directed a grim face at Zelcyone.

“How is it? Can you remove Yuris.h.i.+a’s hypnotism?”

Zelcyone shook her head side to side at Kizuna’s question.

“It’s no good. Even when I equipped Teros thoroughly, there is no effect. It seems a really powerful hypnotism is affecting her.”

Teros became light and vanished from Zelcyone’s body. From underneath the s.e.xy Zelcyone in her military uniform appeared.

“Don’t tell me……for her whole life, she will be under the impression that she is Osiris’s daughter, that’s not it right?”

“I don’t know. I’ll leave the rest to you all.”

He walked together with Zelcyone. Coming out from the block where cells were lined up, they moved towards the s.p.a.ce for the crew’s living activity.

They came out at a s.p.a.cious viewing room. From the floor until the ceiling it was made from transparent wall like a gla.s.s. It was scary if one wasn’t used to it, but it was also a place where one could get the feeling like walking on the air. Currently it was the time of sunset, so the surface was wrapped in orange light. The cloud sea showered in the light of the setting sun was beautiful like a painting. The rim that reflected the light brightly and the shade that became the thick cloud’s shadow were like a paintbrush, creating a grandeur view. It was a beautiful scenery that touched the heart.

Inside such s.p.a.ce, a single figure was standing still.

“Grace?”

Noticing Kizuna, she turned her face.

“……Nii-sama. And also Zel.”

‘――What’s wrong?’

Grace’s condition was different from usual. Even though she was usually a lump of energy that was full of confidence, now he couldn’t feel any ambition from her. Even her expression felt like there was a shadow hanging over her.

“What’s the matter? Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, there is no such thing……why?”

“Why you ask……you don’t look energetic. You look different from usual.”

Grace looked slightly surprised.

“Nii-sama……you really paid attention.”

Saying that, her face turned a little bashful.

“Nii-sama……”

“Hm?”

“What should I do, to make reparation……”

She whispered with a voice so small that he almost couldn’t hear it. Kizuna wondered if he mistook what he heard that he couldn’t reply for a while.

Grace pursed her lips as though changing her mind and shook her head.

“No, it’s nothing. We also have to take back Oldium. Let’s think of the way to do that.”

Grace abruptly turned her back at Kizuna and Zelcyone, before leaving that place.

“Then I’ll return to my room. Call me when it’s time for the strategy meeting.”

“Yeah, got it.”

Grace’s figure vanished behind the automatic door.

“She said that but, as I thought isn’t her condition strange?”

Kizuna asked Zelcyone.

“……Grace-sama, she feared that she will become a hindrance for you and Ainess-sama. And then she is feeling responsible towards the sacrifice that was caused from the war between Vatlantis Empire and Lemuria. By some chance, perhaps she is thinking that if she doesn’t take responsibility, then it will influence the future of you and Ainess-sama.”

Kizuna frowned, not understanding what she meant.

“Grace-sama was shown that kind of illusion from Osiris’s mental attack.”

“I see…….”

Kizuna showed an expression where he was enduring a pain.

“It’s a difficult problem but……but, at the very least Aine and I won’t treat Grace like a hindrance.”

“That’s obvious. If you do that kind of thing, I’ll lop off your neck that very day.”

Something cold ran through Kizuna’s spine. That wasn’t a mere threat, she was seriously saying that. That was what Kizuna felt.

“But the nightmare that was shown in the mental world inflicted severe impression and influence. In a certain meaning, its influence if far larger than even reality. Due to that, it makes Grace-sama worried.”

“Hey, Zelcyone. Is there, any way to make Grace cheerful you think?”

Zelcyone glared at Kizuna with a vexed face.

“Think about that yourself, you good-for-nothing.”

“……I cannot object anything to that.”

‘Hmph’, snorting her nose, Zelcyone walked towards the window. Kizuna also stood beside her.

“Zelcyone. You know a lot about Aine and Grace that I don’t know. Can you teach me about various things from now on too?”

Zelcyone clicked her tongue and suddenly gripped Kizuna’s collar.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you are acting too familiar with me.”

Kizuna was perplexed to that threatening look of hers.

“I, is that so? But, having good relations.h.i.+p, is not a bad th……”

“Annoying! I am the captain of Vatlantis Empire’s Imperial Guard. I’m not the student council president and also not your lover! Don’t you misunderstand demon king of Lemuria!”

“Heh?”

Kizuna stiffened with a convulsing face.

Zelcyone separated her hand from Kizuna’s collar as though tossing him away. She turned on her heel and walked towards the corridor.

“Don’t get elated just because you have done as you pleased to my body for just once!”

Zelcyone got out and the door closed. Was it just his feeling, it was as though the door that should be automatic felt like it was closed rougher than usual.

“O……ou.”

Kizuna who was left alone c.o.c.ked his head in puzzlement while watching the sunset turning into night sky.

‘――Certainly Grace is Vatlantis Empire’s emperor. But, she is a girl even younger than me. To just weigh down all the responsibility on a girl like her, I cannot think of that as something right.

Besides right now we are fighting together for the sake of saving both Lemuria and Atlantis, she is a reliable comrade. Even about Aine and also Yuris.h.i.+a, if we combine our strength then surely we can save them.’

“But, so she is actually worrying that much. Grace……”

He unconsciously murmured to himself.

Was it because of the time they spent together in the Ataraxia that Nayuta created, he completely considered her as a comrade that he didn’t realize until that far.

“Certainly, it cannot be helped that Zelcyone called me a good-for-nothing huh……”

The cute little sister was worrying and suffering. If he didn’t become her strength, then what use was this Nii-sama for.

“Yosh, let’s call Grace――”

At that time the summon announcement resounded inside the s.h.i.+p.

{Hida Kizuna, the strategy meeting will be carried out after this. Come to the first laboratory urgently.}

“Nee-chan?”

Just what in the world was it about?

Kizuna turned on his heel and walked in the corridor with a fast pace. He got into the elevator and headed to the first laboratory nearby the battles.h.i.+p Ataraxia’s stern. Inside the room that had a size similar to a cla.s.sroom, Reiri and Kei were already waiting.

“What’s the matter? So sudden like this.”

What was inside the room was only a set of desks and chair. There was nothing else, it was a deserted room. At the center of that room, a screen was floating that projected the state of Yuris.h.i.+a inside the cell.

“You have seen it already……as expected it’s difficult to release Yuris.h.i.+a from the brainwas.h.i.+ng.”

“Yeah, but there is a way.”

“Eh!?”

Kei that was facing the desk typed on the keyboard fast.

{The only way to release Yuris.h.i.+a’s brainwas.h.i.+ng. That is――}

Continuing where Kei’s typing left off, Reiri proclaimed.

“The Core’s reinstall!”

Kizuna repeated that sentence inside his head many times over.

“Wait a second. What relation is there between releasing the brainwas.h.i.+ng with powering up the magic armor?”

When Reiri nodded, Kei began the explanation.

{The suggestion that Osiris gave Yuris.h.i.+a produced a strong binding on the brain’s nerve tissue. To untie this binding is not an ordinary undertaking. However, by giving her even more intense experience, when there is information even more beneficial than Osiris’s brainwas.h.i.+ng, it can give Yuris.h.i.+a’s body another impression.}

“……What do you mean?”

{When a Core is installed, a certain kind of reset phenomenon will occur inside the body. That is in order for the Core to activate, it will remove information that became a hindrance. By using that the body’s bad condition like illness will be improved and mental difficulty will also be removed.}

“Heee……that’s amazing. It seems that the Core is useful for medical treatment.”

{However, this is only limited if there is even more beneficial information by the time the install is happening. For example, if the body doesn’t have the information of the original healthy state, then there will be nothing that will be particularly improved.}

“That’s……what you just said, the more intense experience?”

Reiri crossed her arms and nodded.

“We had Zelcyone slipping into Yuris.h.i.+a’s mind to investigate, she said that when Yuris.h.i.+a received brainwas.h.i.+ng from Osiris, there is a memory where she was given strong pain together with pleasure. However, she doesn’t know as far as the specific way……”

‘――Pain and pleasure she said……don’t tell me!’

“About that, I can imagine it in general.”

Reiri stopped crossing her arms and grinned widely.

“As expected from you, then we can keep this short.”

Reiri’s eyes s.h.i.+ned glaringly.

“Grant the true desire that Yuris.h.i.+a is looking for! Pleasure that makes that girl scream both in her heart and fles.h.!.+ Ecstasy that she has never experienced before! A climax so great that it smashes the memory given to Yuris.h.i.+a!”

“I have to, do to Yuris.h.i.+a……something even greater than what Osiris did?”

{If the reinstall succeeded in that situation, the effect of the install will be able to erase the control of Osiris that is deeply rooted in Yuris.h.i.+a.}

Kizuna pursed his mouth strongly, he stared at Yuris.h.i.+a who was projected on the screen.

She was sitting on the bed with a grim face.

‘――This is a match between me and Osiris.’

Yuris.h.i.+a’s face distorted in bitterness and tears dripped out. He had never seen Yuris.h.i.+a looking that bitter.

“That’s not all you know?”

Unnoticed there was a young girl standing at Kizuna’s side.

“!? ……Since when!”

{Professor Nayuta?}

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I told you already to not enter as you please!”

Ignoring Reiri who lost her temper, Nayuta walked until the center of the room.

“It seems that how each machine G.o.d became how they currently are and their very existences itself are different from each other. A method that is effective against Hokuto doesn’t mean that it will be effective against the other machine G.o.ds.”

Reiri glared at Nayuta with an irritated look.

“Then what are you saying?’

“In order for Yuris.h.i.+a to receive the soul of Osiris’s daughter, she should also have the information about Osiris and Necropolis driven into her. Even if her brainwas.h.i.+ng is released the information about them will remain. That’s why……”

Kizuna nodded.

“We can obtain Osiris’s information from Yuris.h.i.+a. Perhaps we can even understand what kind of attack will be effective, is that it?”

Nayuta nodded in satisfaction.

“Exactly.”

Kizuna talked to Yuris.h.i.+a inside the screen with a gaze filled with determination.

“I’ll surely save you without fail……Yuris.h.i.+a!”

Light s.h.i.+ned into the gloomy room. The blonde haired girl wearing Ataraxia’s uniform was illuminated by spotlight. Surely even among foreign pin-up girls, there wasn’t that many who possessed a style this magnificent. Because such selfish body was forcefully imprisoned into the uniform, the b.r.e.a.s.t.s and also the b.u.t.t looked like they were going to burst out. That was Yuris.h.i.+a Farandole of Amaterasu.

That former ace of America had handcuffs fixed on her, she was suspended by a chain from the ceiling. Even her mouth was filled with a ball that had holes opened on it, it was fitted on her face with a leather band.

Kizuna stared at that figure with a nervous look.

Yuris.h.i.+a’s fate hung on this mission. Not only that. The configuration information of Lemuria and Atlantis that Osiris possessed. Whether they could take back that data also depended on this mission.

Even though he was motionless, sweat was flowing out.

“Is the preparation finished?”

A young girl entered inside the light that illuminated Yuris.h.i.+a. The young girl wearing a strange kimono with the lower part becoming tights smiled proudly.

“My side’s preparation is perfect. I finished taking out Cross’s Core from Yuris.h.i.+a and improved it. Besides, the equipment and the placing of the stage are also complete.”

“……You are really able to prepare something like this huh.”

Kizuna looked around inside the room. Various kinds of whips and torturing devices were lined up on the wall. There were props like rope and candle, then there were also big tools like the pulley where Yuris.h.i.+a was currenly suspending from or the x-shaped cross stand. When he turned around, the room was part.i.tioned with iron bars like a prison, the exit was at the other side of the bars.

This place was a special laboratory inside the battles.h.i.+p Ataraxia. Originally it was a room used for experiments with weapons and dangerous things, but Nayuta reformed it. The variety of tools prepared here was also a.s.sembled by Nayuta.

“Generally all these existed in Ataraxia. Reproducing them is something easy.”

As though putting spirit into himself, Kizuna strongly breathed.

“Yosh. I’ll leave it to you.”

Nayuta put her index finger on Yuris.h.i.+a’s forehead.

“Mm, mmm……”

After lightly groaning, Yuris.h.i.+a’s blue eyes opened.

“Then, I’ll leave the rest to you two, the young people.”

Leaving behind a sentence like a match-making auntie, Nayuta who had the youngest appearance slipped through the iron bars and left the room.

‘Even though it’s better if she acts a little more like a human’, Kizuna thought inside his heart. He pulled himself together and gauged Yuris.h.i.+a’s state.

“Yuris.h.i.+a. How do you feel?”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes were gradually opening wide. She was completely awake now.

“Mm―! Nnuuuuuu!”

The chain clinked with her raging trying to escape, but there was no result except her big breast shaking. Her beautiful blonde hair became disheveled and she glared at Kizuna with a furious expression.

“Nfu-! Unauuuuuh, aunu!”

She looked like she was hurling angry words at him, but the holed ball was bitten in her mouth so the words were unclear. From the hole opened on the ball, saliva was dripping glisteningly.

“I will train Yuris.h.i.+a from now on. Just who is it that is your master, I will properly make you understand it.”

“! Nnnnbohauuannnn!”

Yuris.h.i.+a howled. He didn’t understand what she was saying, but Kizuna understood painfully well what she wanted to say. Honestly speaking, Kizuna himself was also hesitating.

‘――No, don’t get cold feet. In order to take back Yuris.h.i.+a, this is necessary.’

Besides, the thing that Yuris.h.i.+a was actually looking for, that was something she herself wasn’t aware of and expected it unconsciously. He had to give it to her.

From the Heart Hybrid experience until now, it was obvious that Yuris.h.i.+a had the taste for S&M. However there was a stopper hanging on somewhere in her. Perhaps it was Yuris.h.i.+a’s pride as the world’s strongest, or possibly her up bringing as a celebrity that was a hindrance.

But breaking that wall and liberating her self would become the strength to take back the true Yuris.h.i.+a.

Osiris too must have make Yuris.h.i.+a fall with that same act.

‘――However, I’ll give Yuris.h.i.+a something even better than that!’

Kizuna approached Yuris.h.i.+a, and then the raging Yuris.h.i.+a, especially her fiercely raging b.r.e.a.s.t.s, he grabbed them.

“Nnuu!”

The bulging that was too big in his hand changed shape elastically.

“Nn! Mmmuuhnnnn-!”

The sensation his palm felt was soft even while it had firmness. But there was something he was concerned with. There was no sensation of the underwear that should be under the uniform.

“Yuris.h.i.+a, you have no bra. Since when were you like this? How lewd.”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s cheeks reddened and she shook her head.

“You are saying, ‘It doesn’t matter since when, I want you to grope me”, that’s it huh.”

‘――Actually we didn’t put the underwear when she was changed though.’

Yuris.h.i.+a sent him a gaze filled with anger. Kizuna accepted that gaze calmly and continued rubbing the b.r.e.a.s.t.s without caring.

“Uu……fu, fuu―, nnu”

He continued to rub the breast with one hand and his other hand caressed around her body. As though confirming Yuris.h.i.+a’s body, his hand moved on her suspended arm, and then below her armpit.

“Nkuuh!”

Yuris.h.i.+a became standing on her tiptoes. It seemed that she was feeling it more than he thought. And then his hand moved from her side to her stomach, and then to her a.s.s. The large b.u.t.t was truly worth it to be caressed. He flipped up her skirt and exposed her white b.u.t.t that was wearing black lacy panty.

“So this part is wearing something. Normally you didn’t wear anything right? It’s fine to not force yourself you know?”

“Nn-! Unnunnn!”

While purposefully saying mean things, Kizuna caressed her large b.u.t.t. It was truly big, that his hand grasping it didn’t even cover half of it. Even so when he caressed and rubbed the b.u.t.t to his heart’s content, he could see her waist s.h.i.+vering. It seemed that these s.h.i.+vers weren’t caused by her breast but because of the stimulation to her lower body.

When he looked at Yuris.h.i.+a’s face, the strength in her glaring eyes was growing weak. Perhaps she was desperately trying to rally her feelings, sometimes her look became grim. However it would soon become an intoxicated look completely once more.

“What’s the matter Yuris.h.i.+a……even though the one doing this is someone hateful that you want to kill, it looks like you are feeling it.”

Inside the palm that was busily ma.s.saging the shaking b.r.e.a.s.t.s, something stiff could be felt.

“Uu……u……”

Yuris.h.i.+a was shaking her head in refusal. However, the sensation that Kizuna’s hand was feeling didn’t lie. Kizuna pinched at the tip of Yuris.h.i.+a’s breast and slowly pulled it.

“Looks like it’s completely standing up here huh?”

“Nn……u……”

“It’s fine okay? You can just feel good.”

Kizuna brought his mouth close to Yuris.h.i.+a’s ear that had been dyed red completely and whispered. ‘fuh’ when he blew his breath, it shook her body s.h.i.+veringly.

Tears gathered a lot in Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes, she glared with eyes that were holding back sorrow.

“What’s wrong? Is there something you want to say?”

“Nn―! Nnunna―!”

She desperately yelled, but it didn’t become any word. In exchange saliva was flowing down from the opened holes of the ball gag. The image of the beautiful and elegant Yuris.h.i.+a dripping down drool slovenly looked immoral somehow that it made something chilling ran inside Kizuna’s heart.

‘――But, it’s not good to be too fixated. From here on I‘ll also break Yuris.h.i.+a’s defense by dialogue. Let’s do this!’

After giving such pep talk to himself, Kizuna circled his hand behind Yuris.h.i.+a’s head. And then he untied the clasp and took off the ball gag pressing on her mouth.

‘Puhah’, Yuris.h.i.+a spitted out the ball gag and thrust out her tongue. From the tip of her pink tongue a line of saliva stretched down.

“Dripping saliva like that, you look like a baby like that.”

Kizuna excessively fanned up Yuris.h.i.+a’s shame. However with her restricted state, Yuris.h.i.+a couldn’t even wipe out her mouth. Yuris.h.i.+a yelled out angrily with a big voice in order to divert her shame.

“Doing something like this to me, do you think I’m going to obey Kizuna from this!? Don’t look down on me! I absolutely won’t lose!”

“That’s really rea.s.suring huh……”

Kizuna walked until the wall and scrutinized the torture devices lined up there. He felt Yuris.h.i.+a’s gaze on his back. Even though she talked confidently, but she was anxious about what would be done to her.

‘――Yuris.h.i.+a’s body is already warmed up, then first…….’

When Kizuna returned with a scissor in hand, Yuris.h.i.+a twitched in fear.

“What are you……planning to do?”

That voice was trembling in fear.

“You don’t need to worry. It’s only a change of clothes for you.”

He put the scissor at the stomach part of the uniform.

“Don’t move because this is dangerous.”

Yuris.h.i.+a obediently listened to him. Perhaps because of the fear, her body was trembling. The cutting edge of the scissor was good, it easily tore apart the uniform. It reached until the chest and completely cut open the front of the uniform. And then after he finished cutting the sleeves too, her upper body became cleanly naked.

Continuing, Kizuna put the scissors on Yuris.h.i.+a’s skirt. He cut from the stomach part to the bottom. After he cut until the fringe, a soft sound was raised and the skirt fell on the floor.

Yuris.h.i.+a was standing with only a single black panty without even being able to hide her body.

‘――Now then, how should I torment her next?’

Kizuna went to the wall once again and pondered. And then his two hands took the tool that he decided in his heart, before returning to Yuris.h.i.+a. He put the prepared tool on the floor for the moment and reached his hand at Yuris.h.i.+a’s handcuff.

“I’m going to release the chains now.”

“Eh?”

Yuris.h.i.+a made a surprised face.

What happened so suddenly? Even though she was thinking that he was going to torment her. Yuris.h.i.+a was half in doubt, but Kizuna really released Yuris.h.i.+a’s wrist from the restriction.

Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes s.h.i.+ned glaringly. The moment her hand became free, she grappled at Kizuna.

“――Wha-!?”

She intended to break Kizuna’s balance and constrict his neck from behind. However Kizuna’s body that she was pus.h.i.+ng with her hand didn’t even take a step back.

“This is……ah!”

She got her arm twisted by Kizuna in reverse.

“There was what happened before this. So I had the restriction tool newly increased.”

“!”

Yuris.h.i.+a noticed the rings wrapped around both her wrists. It was really similar with the one wrapping around her neck.

“This thing is an improved version. It’s not only limiting your magic power, it also steals your physical strength. The current strength of Yuris.h.i.+a is equal to a child.”

In addition the current Yuris.h.i.+a didn’t have a Core, so the magic power limiter was mostly meaningless. But stealing her physical strength was greatly useful for the success of the mission.

“Kuh……how low are you going to fall, you coward.”

Kizuna unconsciously smiled wryly.

‘――Indeed. But that’s because it’s absolutely impossible to do the reinstall while fighting Yuris.h.i.+a who is skilled in hand to hand……just insult me however much you want right now.’

Kizuna picked up the torture tool he selected before. It was a hexagon block with length around ten centimeters. An explanation was written at its surface.

“Automatic binding device……so this too is a kind of [installer].”

――Installer. It was a necessary a.s.sistance device for the sake of the reinstall preparation.

Even at the time of Himekawa’s reinstall, he also used an installer as expected although the shape was different.

According to Nayuta’s explanation, the installer would stimulate the body with delicate vibration and electricity, at the same time it seemed that it would permeate out the medicine to a.s.sist with the reinstall loaded in the device with an appropriate timing.

Like that, the most optimum environment for the sake of inserting the Core was created. At the same time it also had the measuring device for a.n.a.lyzing the body’s condition, he could monitor whether the flesh had reached the most optimum state for reinstall or not from the remote control.

Kizuna grasped one of Yuris.h.i.+a’s hands and his other hand touched the automatic restraining device on Yuris.h.i.+a’s chest. While doing that he was. .h.i.t by Yuris.h.i.+a several times, but it was only to the degree of raising weak sound. The pain and damage he got was almost zero, he finished what he was doing easily.

“I wonder……is it okay with this?”

When he pushed the switch, rope flew out from the automatic restraining device.

“Uwaa!”

“Kyaa!”

The two spontaneously raised a yell. The red rope that was yarned from special fiber entwined through Yuris.h.i.+a’s body. It detected Yuris.h.i.+a’s body size and the rope entangled at each other, it created knots by itself and bound down Yuris.h.i.+a’s body.

After around five seconds, Yuris.h.i.+a’s body was completely tied up. The red rope was covering Yuris.h.i.+a’s body in a shape that joined up hexagons. Depending on how one looked at it, it also looked like a turtle sh.e.l.l. Both her hands were tied at behind, her chest became shaped from the binding of the rope. That way of tying emphasized the b.r.e.a.s.t.s even more. And then the rope also dug into her crotch. The rope stretching from her lower body parted her crotch, it was sandwiched between her bottoms and then fastened on her waist.

“Wha, what with, this”

“That’s why I told you already this is a change of clothes. It really suites you yeah.”

“Do, don’t say something stupid. There is no way something like this is a clo――aaahn!”

Kizuna gripped the rope on her crotch and pulled it up.

“What’s the matter? You raised a voice that sounded like you are feeling good just now.”

“The, there is no way it feels go……nnah! Yah, aaaaan”

Yuris.h.i.+a raised moaning voices while desperately shaking her head side to side. She began desperately protesting that she was not feeling anything.

However the rope that was digging into her crotch was steadily absorbing moisture and changed color.

“Even though you claimed that I’m wrong, but this thing cannot give you any excuse huh?”

“You are wrong, such thing…….is not truee-! Auhn, ah ah, don’t-!”

“Despite what you say, it looks like you are really pleased with it.”

Kizuna pulled up the rope digging into her crotch and then shook it to the left and right.

“Kuau! Sto, stopppppmm-“

She quickly began to raise a pained voice.

“Honestly recognize that you are feeling good because of me. If you do that, then I’ll do something that feels even better to you.”

“Tha, that’s……”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s throat gulped audibly.

“…….There is no way, I’m feeling it.”

Even while answering so, her body was convulsing in s.h.i.+vers. It was the proof that she was struck with pleasure.

‘――Yuris.h.i.+a is feeling it just from being tormented with words.’

The tips of her shaking b.r.e.a.s.t.s were also standing tautly. Kizuna pinched at that tip of the breast with his fingertips.

“Hii! Aaaa-, stop it, don’t pull it!”

He twisted the tip of the breast with his fingertips. There, Yuris.h.i.+a’s whole body twisted back and forth.

“As I thought, you are feeling it even more than usual. You liked being tied huh, Yuris.h.i.+a.”

Kizuna continued ma.s.saging the breast with one hand while his other hand gripped the rope on her crotch. And then he shook the rope back and forth once more.

“Tha, that’s not true! That’s not trueeee-!”

Honey was trickling along Yuris.h.i.+a’s thigh. Power left her legs and she kneeled on the floor. And then the rope dug into her crotch excessively from that motion.

“Noooooooooo-, don’t, that place is, nnnun!”

Kizuna released his hand from the rope. Yuris.h.i.+a’s waist lost strength and she collapsed on the floor.

“Haa……ha……aaan”

The moist eyes on her flus.h.i.+ng face were already drunk in pleasure. Kizuna seized Yuris.h.i.+a’s chin and made her face above.

“How is it? Have you become a prisoner of the pleasure already?”

Feverish breath leaked out from Yuris.h.i.+a’s lips. Her eyes were wandering in fl.u.s.ter.

“The……there is no way, that happened. Something like this……compared to Osiris-sama, is completely, nothing…….significant.”

From how she acted, she still had the composure to bluff.

‘――Then, a stronger stimulation is needed.’

Yuris.h.i.+a’s body had warmed up, she was sweating moistly. There was also the temperature of the room that had been slightly heightened, causing Kizuna to also sweat.

“I too should prepare for battle.”

After murmuring that, Kizuna began to take off the uniform he was wearing. He felt the presence of Yuris.h.i.+a getting nervous. However, he didn’t mind it and took off his trousers too, now he was only in his underwear.

Kizuna who was left only in his underwear picked up one more torture tool. Looking at the thing in Kizuna’s hand, Yuris.h.i.+a gulped. Back in her mind, she recalled the punishment Osiris had given to her.

“Hm? By some chance is this it?”

Kizuna lightly swung the whip in his hand. The leather whip with a duster shape resounded out sharp ripping sound. Yuris.h.i.+a’s body jumped up in surprise.

“No, nothing……I don’t know what you mean.”

‘――That’s, the same whip that Osiris-sama lashed…….’

Kizuna took off the tag attached at the handle of the whip. There was an explanation written there.

{The electromagnetic waves emitted by the whip will invigorate the cell of the struck part. That will a.s.sist spreading the Core’s information to the whole body at the time the Core is installed.}

Kizuna tested it by swinging it at his own leg. *pushu* a sharp sound could be heard which made Yuris.h.i.+a twitch in reaction.

‘I see. The sound is big but it’s not that painful. If I properly control the strength, it will make the skin a little red but it won’t injure the body.’

Kizuna was relieved and grasped the chain hanging down from the ceiling. When the chain was separated from the handcuffs, it could be seen that the tip of the chain had a metallic hook there. He hooked it at the rope on Yuris.h.i.+a’s back.

“Ah……wha, what?”

Kizuna pressed at the switch on the wall and the chain was slowly pulling up with a motor sound. Pulled by that, Yuris.h.i.+a’s body was also dragged up, she was forcefully made to stand.

“Then, here I go Yuris.h.i.+a.”

“Wai……sto, stop it! That’s――”

Kizuna swung down the whip on Yuris.h.i.+a’s b.u.t.t. A fierce ripping sound resounded and Yuris.h.i.+a’s body bent.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaah!”

The white large b.u.t.t had faint red mark left there. Yuris.h.i.+a’s legs were s.h.i.+vering convulsively.

‘――Keep going!’

Next he hit the back.

“NNAah! Yaah! Stop! Please-!”

Kizuna circled to her front and then he teasingly pressed the tip of the whip on the breast that was shaking left and right .

“Aaa……no, stop it, that place……”

“That place, where do you mean? I won’t understand if you don’t say it.”

Yuris.h.i.+a bit her lip.

“My……my breast.”

“Got it. You want your breast hit right?”

Yuris.h.i.+a unconsciously opened her mouth in bewilderment.

“Tha, that’s not……just who is saying something like that!”

Kizuna lifted the whip and hit even stronger than anything until now. And then together with a sharp blow sound, Yuris.h.i.+a’s white breast had a red streak carved on it.

“-!? Ih-……-!”

The pain that traveled through her like a thunder made Yuris.h.i.+a clench her teeth. Tears blurred her eyes.

The moment the pain changed into a paralyzing itch, a sharp sound resounded once more.

“Haua-!”

Red streak ran on her breast crossing through the first one. And then her stomach, side, thigh, all those were also hit by the whip.

“Noooooo! Aaaaaah! Stooooop-!”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s hair was disheveled while she was crying out loudly. However――,

‘――You really feel it……Yuris.h.i.+a.’

The installer s.h.i.+ning at the center of her breast had a monitor attached, there it displayed the numerical value of Yuris.h.i.+a’s state whether the reinstall could be done or not. That was to say, from that number it could be understood how much Yuris.h.i.+a was feeling it.

That number was rapidly increasing.

The maximum was 1000. At the beginning it was around 80, but it was rapidly continuing to increase, especially since he was. .h.i.tting her with a whip that the degree of the increase was great. Right now it had reached until 500.

When his hand stopped, Yuris.h.i.+a was breathing heavingly. It was like she had ran a marathon with all her strength, her shoulders were moving up and down several times. Sweat was trickling down like a waterfall, her face was also flus.h.i.+ng.

Holding her chin, Kizuna lifted her face. There, a pained expression wetted with tears appeared. Her lips were half opened, she was breathing feverishly.

If he had to say with words, that expression was pleading at him [do it more].

However, since the time when the number had surpa.s.sed around 400, the increase of the number was weakening in speed. Perhaps he couldn’t hope for further increase with whipping more than this.

‘――For doing the reinstall, at the very least, I want the number to be above 800. For that, something even more intense is needed. And in addition it must be something Yuris.h.i.+a is wis.h.i.+ng for…….’

Kizuna stared at the torture tools lining up inside the dark room.

If he didn’t hurry, then Yuris.h.i.+a’s body that was in the process of surrendering to pleasure after much effort would cool down.

Kizuna desperately thought while repressing his impatient feelings.

‘――What kind of things did Osiris do to Yuris.h.i.+a? And then, what should I do to give her a memory even more intense than that!’

At that time inside Kizuna’s head a certain thing flashed.

‘――I can just make Yuris.h.i.+a choose.’

Kizuna pressed the lighting switch on the wall. Thereupon the indirect lighting other than the spotlight lit up, and the torture tools that were hidden from Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes by the darkness became plain to see.

“This is……”

Kizuna fixedly observed Yuris.h.i.+a whose breath was caught in her throat. And then her gaze stopped at a certain spot, he noticed how she was continuing to stare fixedly. Yuris.h.i.+a’s throat was moving up and down.

Ahead of her gaze was a device like a horse riding machine. However, at the part where the rider’s waist would be lowered down, the shape was made into a triangle shape.

‘――That’s……a triangle wooden horse?’

At the spot for sitting, it was shaped like a triangular prism with triangle cross section. There was no flat surface, the angle was at the above, so if someone straddled it they would have their legs forcefully opened and their crotch would come into contact with the triangular angle. Naturally it would be painful, they would be pressed down by their own weight so the rider wouldn’t even be able to escape.

“So Yuris.h.i.+a want to ride that.”

When Yuris.h.i.+a returned to her sense with a ‘hah’, she looked up to Kizuna. And then with an expression that was begging for forgiveness, she shook her head to left and right.

“You’re wrong……you’re wrong. So, something like that, stop it……seriously, I beg you!”

In contrast with her words, at the inside of Yuris.h.i.+a’s thighs, honey was dripping down from the rope that tied at her crotch.

Kizuna lowered the chain and he unfastened the hook from the rope binding Yuris.h.i.+a. And then he picked up a scissor and squatted in front of Yuris.h.i.+a.

“I’ll make you a little comfortable. Don’t you move.”

“……Nn-”

Yuris.h.i.+a felt the coldness of the scissor on her lower body. And then the rope parting her crotch was quickly cut. And then, next the scissor entered beside her waist and the string of her panty was cut.

“Aa……”

The panty fell to the floor gently, now there was nothing hiding the between of Yuris.h.i.+a’s nether region. A golden bush wet with dew appeared.

“Ya-…..ya, yaaa! Don’t look! I, I don’t want thisss!”

She desperately rubbed her thighs to hide it, but it was a pointless effort.

The number displayed at the installer on her chest rose to 540. Kizuna embraced up Yuris.h.i.+a whose body was only wearing rope and led her towards the triangle horse.

She stopped her legs in resistance, but she was dragged away forcefully towards the horse.

“Nooooo! Please! I’ll do anything else other than that! That’s why spare me from that!”

But the current Kizuna was able to understand what was Yuris.h.i.+a’s body was saying.

Yuris.h.i.+a’s body, was very happy.

The triangle wooden horse was currently set to be at its lowest height, he was able to easily make her straddle it. Kizuna circled behind Yuris.h.i.+a and made her crouch. And then he put his hand under Yuris.h.i.+a’s knee and lifted her up.

“Yah, stop, this posture-! Don’t spread me!”

Yuris.h.i.+a whose legs were spread raised a voice of lamentation. Her pose was like that of a small girl made to pee. Surely it was humiliating for her.

And then Yuris.h.i.+a’s body was lowered to even more humiliation than that.

“Don’t, don’t don’ttttttt!”

Kizuna stepped on the foot switch attached on the foot of the wooden horse with his right leg. There a quiet mechanical sound started out and the triangle wooden horse was rising.

“Hih!”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s shuddering became more fervent. She was sweating from her whole body.

“I beg you! If you stop right now I’ll forgive you! That’s why――”

‘――Don’t get tricked, Kizuna.’

Kizuna persuaded himself.

――Don’t listen to the word coming from her mouth. Listen to the voice of Yuris.h.i.+a’s heart.’

Kizuna’s leg that was stepping on the switch didn’t waver, the triangle wooden horse continued to rise without stopping.

“Do, don’t don’t! Kizuna! Just this is no good! Please stop it!”

However the triangle wooden horse didn’t stop moving.

“I beg you Kizuna! If it’s something else――hih!”

The summit of the triangle touched Yuris.h.i.+a’s secret place. And then Kizuna separated his hand from her, entrusting Yuris.h.i.+a’s body on the wooden horse.

“――,!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

A scream burst out.

At that moment, in Yuris.h.i.+a’s brain the sensation of the punishment she received from Osiris was resurrected.

“Kuh! HaAAAAN♥”

Sensation that couldn’t be recognized whether it was pleasure or pain attacked Yuris.h.i.+a. And then the wooden horse rose even higher, Yuris.h.i.+a’s tiptoes left from the floor. Right now Yuris.h.i.+a’s body was completely lifted up.

“Kah! ……haaa-! Ku……”

It was as though Yuris.h.i.+a couldn’t breath, her mouth was flapping close and open.

“Ple, please……help me, Kizuna. At this rate, I……my feeling to mother will……”

Tears were flowing from her eyes.

Yuris.h.i.+a was begging for pardon from her mouth, but that face was completely changed into a female in heat.

And then the number on her chest was rapidly continuing to rise, it was already crossing over 650.

This wooden horse was naturally not just a mere torture tool. This too was one kind of installer. This device gave direct result when Core’s reinstall was carried out.

Surely it could be said that it was a good luck that Yuris.h.i.+a showed interest to this tool. For that reason there was a need to make her fold in one go.

Kizuna’s foot pressed on a different switch.

“Kyahn! Aa, wha, what are, you do……aaAAAAAAAAA♥!”

The wooden horse began to subtly vibrate with motion the eyes couldn’t see. It was sending sweet, and also severe sensations from Yuris.h.i.+a’s nether region towards the inside of her body. It was a tremendous feast of pain and pleasure mixing with each other. It was enough to take away Yuris.h.i.+a’s sanity from her.

“Nooo-, no, stop ittttttttt-♥! I’m, a, already, turning strangeeeee”

‘――Thi, this is amazing-, something like this, perhaps this is even more than Osiris――no, than mother-!’

The number on Yuris.h.i.+a’s chest reached 700.

Kizuna glared at that number and though about his next move.

Currently he was still not surpa.s.sing Osiris. Only one more step, what to do to smash Osiris’s control?

Kizuna chose from the torture tools something primitive but effective. Carrying that, he returned to Yuris.h.i.+a one more time.

“I’ll present to you Yuris.h.i.+a an accessory.”

“Hah, wha, what……aaahn!”

Yuris.h.i.+a saw the thing in Kizuna’s hand with blank eyes.

“Clothes……pin?”

Kizuna opened the clothes pin and brought it near the tip of Yuris.h.i.+a’s breast. Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes was getting moist with intoxication.

“Do……don’t put something like that on me! It’s scary, scary, I don’t want, getting hurt anymore-“

However the tip of Yuris.h.i.+a’s breast was standing tautly in antic.i.p.ation. It was as though it was looking forward to it, begging that it wanted to be adorned with that accessory quickly.

Yuris.h.i.+a’s shook her body trying to escape from the clothes pin. Kizuna held down the shaking breast and pinched that tip with the clothes pin.

Pain she never felt until now and a pressing strength were continuing to attack the tip of Yuris.h.i.+a’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s. It wasn’t something that ended in a moment like whipping. It continued to torment Yuris.h.i.+a’s breast without any gap.

“Aa, aaaa……ta, take it off. Please, take it offaaaahn”

With the tip of her breast flattened down, it was like Osiris’s something inside her body was pushed out completely.

And then the number reached 800.

‘I did it!’ Kizuna yelled that inside his heart. However, he had no intention of stopping here.

He would aim at increasing the number as much as possible. Besides he still hadn’t manage to erase Osiris’s presence in Yuris.h.i.+a.

What in the world could he do even more than this?

Pain, and pleasure. Those two.

He had used tools enough already.

Next it must be something that Kizuna gave to her directly.

And then, he had to make her recognize her defeat to him completely, making her submit.

‘――And for that!’

Kizuna stopped pressing the switch of the wooden horse and the vibration stopped.

“Aaahn! Aa……eh?”

Yuris.h.i.+a who was breathing roughly stared at Kizuna with a face that seemed to say ‘what’s the matter?’

Kizuna reached out his hand and caressed Yuris.h.i.+a’s cheek.

“It’s my bad to make you feel painful.”

“……?”

“If you hate it that much, then I’ll stop tormenting Yuris.h.i.+a even more than this.”

“Eh……bu, but”

In shock, Yuris.h.i.+a’s eyes that were wet with tears were blinking repeatedly.

“Yuris.h.i.+a.”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s breath hitched on her throat, wondering what Kizuna was planning to say.

“Become my slave.”

The moment she heard that sentence, Yuris.h.i.+a felt the inside of her stomach tighten hard.

“If Yuris.h.i.+a becomes my slave, then I’ll do something that feels even better to you.”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s throat gulped audibly.

“But, if you really hate it, then I won’t do it anymore. Yuris.h.i.+a, you choose what you like.”

Yuris.h.i.+a was obviously fl.u.s.tered. She looked around at the surroundings, her eyes roaming everywhere.

“That’s……but, I, belong to mother……I have to become Isis. Besides, I am a celebrity of high society you know? I’m also the strongest pilot in the world……besides, mother said, something like S&M is vulgar……”

The confused Yuris.h.i.+a began to talk incoherently. Osiris’s brainwas.h.i.+ng and Kizuna’s training were conflicting inside her.

Kizuna pressed on the foot switch. There the wooden horse lowered down and it would lower Yuris.h.i.+a to the floor.

“Aa……aa!”

And then her toes reached the floor. Kizuna’s hand reached toward Yuris.h.i.+a’s breast and he was going to take off the clothes pin.

“Aa, aaa…….wait. Wait.”

Yuris.h.i.+a’s face a
