The Impersonating Daimaou Wants to be Hated (WN): Chapter 109

 

Chapter 109: Search in the Demon King's Castle

"Aquim?"

 A man's face with a vile smile appears in my mind, and I check my surroundings. A long, narrow corridor made of stone that goes on forever. The ceiling is high, and even if I strengthened my eyesight with magic, I could not see the full extent of it, which is blocked by the dim darkness.

"Elana, is there a problem?"

 The earring attached to my ear delivers the voice of Kurai-san, who is leading the search.

 A magic tool for distant voice. Among them, this is a type specialized for secret communication that absorbs the vibrations caused by vocal cords and transmits them only to the same type of object linked to it in advance. The converted sound is reproduced by bone conduction, so there is no need to worry about being noticed even if you speak loudly. Of course, some demons react more to the wavelengths of mana than to air vibrations, so one should be careful, but it is an indispensable magic tool for high-speed travel in enemy territory using mana, as is the case today.

"No, I thought I heard Aquim's voice, but it was just my imagination."

"...Stop, everyone."

 We concentrated our mana on the "Stop Method". Immediately after, we who were running at the same speed as a magic car stopped, keeping the same distance from each other as when we all started running.

 Unlike the "Decrease Method," in which the speed is gradually reduced, the "Stop Method," in which mana is concentrated on the stopping leg that serves as the starting point for stopping, causes a greater load on the body and the stopping point as the speed increases. However, despite moving at such high speed, not only Mina, who is one year younger than me, but even Gorkin-san, who is the most physically fit of us, was able to stop without making a sound.

 Kurai-san looked back at me as I was reassured by the skill of those fighting with me.

"Mina, check Elana's internal mana and see if there are any abnormalities. Gorkin, you take care of the surroundings. I'll release a exploration magic. Take a three-minute break."

“Elana-senpai, excuse me.”

"Ah. Please."

 Mina, who was at the end of the formation, lined up next to me and touched my body. Mina's mana flowed into me.

"How is it?"

"……No problem."

"I see."

 If I was under the influence of some kind of magic, Mina, who had been always with me, would have noticed it. I lightly placed my finger on the earring I was wearing.

"Kurai-sama?"

"I heard it. You two should take a break."

 After saying that, Kurai-san took out a piece of paper. A white piece of paper that was completely hidden in her clenched fist. Next, Kurai-san opened her palm, and a bird made of paper flapped its wings.

"Gorkin, how long have we been down this hallway?"

"Quite a while."

"...Nothing while traveling nearly a quarter of the way across the capital, huh?"

 Wary of my surroundings, I listen carefully to their conversation. Kurai-san's attendant, Gorkin-san, is taciturn and rarely speaks on his own. So, if possible, I wanted to take this opportunity to catch a glimpse of his voice.

 ……Aquim would know right away without doing this.

 A voice too distinctive to be mistaken for any other, no matter how crowded, suddenly brings me back.

"...Elana-senpai."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Mina?"

“No. For some reason... you seem to be having fun."

"Is that so? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to let my guard down."

“…………”

 An icy gaze stares at me intently. Mina has always had a strange habit of occasionally observing people in this way. I waited for a while, but she didn't seem to open her mouth, and I was somehow in no mood for conversation, so I took my gaze away from Mina.

 Kurai-san whispered while staring at the endless hallway.

"Is it useless to keep running like this?"

 We used magic to step through the outer wall of the Demon King's castle. Four teams, including us, entered the castle through the hole that Aquim had made. After entering the castle, we immediately split up with the second team, and we also split up with the team that had been following the remnants of a battle left by Aquim before entering this hallway.

 An unusually long hallway with the same scenery going on forever. I would not have chosen this path if the remnants had not continued this way. However, the remnants disappeared a short time after we entered.

 I look back at the way we came. I cannot tell the difference between this path and the one we are about to take, and now I doubt if there were really any signs of the fierce battle I saw before entering the hallway, or even if there were.

"What happened to exploration magic?"

 If we are not careful, an unknown monster might be attached to our backs. I actively sought out information in order to rip off that unknown which blew cold breath on my neck. Kurai-san shook her head.

"It's the same as last time. The link was broken a short time after the magic disappeared from view. The first time, I thought we had entered some kind of trap zone, but after all this walking, it was nothing. We should still consider this hallway itself a trap."

“Is it a confinement type? I can't imagine what kind of technique they would use on such a large scale."

“Is it tampering with space or our perception, or is it tampering with something else? Hmm. Usually the bigger the scale, the easier it is to spot a break in the magic...... Anyone notice anything?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't notice anything."

"Neither do I."

 Naturally, all eyes focused on Mina, who was the only one who said nothing. Mina pointed to the wall.

"...Want to break it?"

"That's one way to go, but with the magic that that Demon King and the four generals have set up, it would be difficult for us to break it by force."

“I agree with Kurai-sama’s opinion, but at present there is not much we can do. Should we consider Mina’s opinion as well?”

“I know. As for me, I don't want to spend any more time on this. I'm going to use this...... a little early."

 With these words, Kurai-san pulled out the sword from her waist. The blade, which was long enough to be called a dagger but clearly shorter than a normal sword, emitted a dull glow.

"...Is it a holy sword?"

"Yeah. With this sword that contains the power of the Founder, it should be able to oppose the magic of the Demon King and the Four Generals. If I use this holy sword [Dive], we should be able to neutralize almost all traps. But there is also a problem.”

"The power of the holy sword is known. The possibility of our enemies coming out to interfere it is high."

 I don't know exactly whether or not our actions are currently being monitored by the Demon Army. But it is such a huge castle. It would be a little too optimistic to assume that there is no surveillance in place.

“Yes. That's why I didn't want to use it until I knew where Floria-sama was, but I can't do that. Assuming that traps of the same type are set on other paths, the number of persons that might be able to accomplish the mission would be quite limited."

 The other members of the team are also talented people who have made a name for themselves in the Kingdom of Light. No matter what situation they find themselves in, they will overcome it in their own way. But even if they were able to break through the vicious trap, the nature of this mission meant that taking too long would be tantamount to defeat.

"I agree. We should hurry the search now, even if it's risky."

"I agree with Elana-senpai."

"I just follow Kurai-sama."

"Okay, it's decided. While Aquim Bonvoul is fighting against the four generals, we'll rescue Floria-sama no matter what. Everyone has the [Exploration Stone], right?"

 I lightly raise my arm to show Kurai-san the bracelet on my wrist. Mina and Gorkin-san did the same.

"As you know, the bracelet was provided by the Swordaina family and is designed to react to Floria-sama's magic. It is unlikely to be useful at the moment, but just in case. Don't take it off."

 There was no way that they had not taken any kind of countermeasures to this exploration. Even though it was a national treasure, as Kurai-san said, it was unlikely to be useful in this situation.

"Gather around. You need to touch my body in order to put the sword into effect. Gorkin, you take the lead. Elana and Mina, put your hands on my shoulders."

 Mina and I went behind Kurai-san as we were told. Kurai-san's hand touched Gorkin-san's back.

"Listen, never let go of me while I'm penetrating. If your mana is high, there's a chance that you'll survive even if you appear in a state that overlaps with the material, but either way, the damage to your body is too strong. When I made a knife penetrate the cotton, the cotton broke, but the knife broke too. If you appear inside the walls of the Demon King's castle, you can be sure that it will not survive."

"I understand."

"Okay."

 Unusually, Gorkin-san did not reply, but when I thought about it, they had shared many battlefields together. I suppose that her explanation was intended only for me and Mina.

"After activating [Dive], wait a little while to get used to it. You can't have a normal conversation over there. Use the wave sign for communication."

 A wave sign is the simplest method of communicating using mana, and this method of communicating through a combination of magic wavelengths is incorporated into the basic training at all magic schools. Therefore, there is no magic user who has received a proper education who cannot do this.

 The blade of the holy sword held by Kurai-san emitted a dull light.

"Dive."

 Immediately, the surrounding scenery flickers, and I am struck by a strange sensation as if the common sense within myself is disappearing bit by bit. Sound and light fade away, and even my sense of balance is thrown off. I hold myself steady so that my body does not wobble. I look next to Mina, who also has an expressionless pale face.

 This is a higher dimension.

 The basic idea of modern magic is that the material world we are usually aware of is composed of a dulled version of the wavelength of the world filled with materials. Materials are everywhere in the world, and since their properties are completely homogeneous, there are no distance restrictions on materials. However, by slowing down and taking shape, differences such as distance and height that did not originally exist were generated. If this is the case, if the body, which is an aggregate of blunted materials, can be activated to its original wavelength range, can it not be freed from the various restrictions it is subjected to in the third dimension?

 This is the principle of spacial magic and the reason why spatial magic is considered special among the many types of magic. In other words, spatial magic is one and all. All in one. It can be said that spatial magic is the magic that best embodies this principle, which can be reached no matter what kind of magic system is used.

 Looking around, everything seems to be overlapping and shimmering on top of the scenery that we normally see......

"This is the whole world... huh?"

 I wondered if the words I muttered were real voices. At least, no one responded.

 The hand touching Kurai-san's shoulder detects a trace of magic. Translating that pattern into language is...

 Let's go.

 I put my strength into the hand that is touching Kurai-san's shoulder. If you touch a part of your body, you can grasp the other person's movement even if you are closing your eyes. We started running without delay. Immediately, I felt something like a slight pressure. To be honest, my vision was pretty messed up right now. I can see, but I can't see. I don't know exactly what it is because it feels like that. But from the pressure I felt, I could guess that I was probably inside a wall.

 Holy sword. It's a tremendous power.

 Oxygen does not exist in this place of higher dimensions. Therefore, we breathe materials. This is a phenomenon that only a few people who have mastered magic, such as kings, use as a basis. However, even for a short time, there is no way that I am able to sustain life with such advanced breathing, and it is all thanks to the Holy Sword that we are able to act normally even in this dimension.

 In the beginning, the speed was just to match mine and Mina's, but it gradually moved faster.

 If we lose the divine protection of the holy sword now, we will die. The fear that was expected to come naturally, however, did not show the slightest sign of budding. On the contrary, my heart was impatient to go faster.

 Not yet there. Too slow. Now, I just want to go as fast as possibleーー

 We passed through the wall.

 With that magic wavelength, a vulgar smile disappears from my mind. I panicked and hurriedly took up an alert posture.

 The scene is enveloped in a dazzling light. The surrounding scene regains its original appearance. There is no light source anywhere, but the light fills my vision, which has returned to normal. My body feels heavy, as if I have been dragged to the bottom of the deep sea, and I am unable to breathe properly.

“Relax and focus on your circulation.”

 Circulation. It is a basic skill for magic users to strengthen the body and adjust the internal organs of the body by distributing generated power (mostly mana) to all parts of the body.

 I closed my eyes and let the mana flow through every corner of my body, bringing the wildly disordered rhythms of my body into a constant state of adjustment.

 It takes about three seconds to open my eyelids. Since when did it take so long to circulate? Kurai-san put the blade of the holy sword into its sheath.

"A slightly larger square room. There is one passageway in front and one on the left. Structurally, is it a corner room? Well, what should weーー"

 It was so abrupt. Suddenlyーー the floor under my feet disappeared.

"Wha!? Tchh!!"

 The unexpected situation stopped me from thinking. But my body was naturally hit with a mass of mana.

"!?"

"Nhh!!"

 Except for Kurai-san, who was clad in a thin layer of mana, Mina and Gorkin were almost defenseless when they were hit by the mass of mana I had released. I had no time to be gentle on them, and although I had intended to release a pure impact of mana, I had caused a slight flame to be generated.

 I felt bad for the two who flew through the air with smoke billowing up, but it was worth it, and the three bodies reached the passageway that was visible in front of them.

 In exchange for relief, my body began to fall. I tried to stay in the air by releasing my mana, butーー

 Thump*! Heavy pressure bearing down.

 As expected, it's here.

 There was no way that the trap at the Demon King's castle would end up being just a pit. My intuition was correct.

"G-gravity manipulation... huh?"

 Strong force as if it were trying to drag me down into the hole. The bottom is...... no good. It's too dark to see. But it will never be just nothing.

 If I fall, I die.

 I attempted to rebel against gravity by converting my mana into flames, which is what I can do right now and let them out from both feet. However, the force pulling my body was so strong that I was unable to withstand the force, and the fire began to burn my body.

"Guh, ah!? Guh, uu!?"

 Originally, when using magic, a mage always used one's strength to protect one's body. For example, when using ten magic, four are actually used and the remaining six are used to protect the body from the changes caused by the magic.

 This is known as the four-six law, and the better the magic user, the greater this four, the greater the phenomenon.

 Usually, when I use magic, I use five-five as a standard, but the amount of magic I am releasing now is close to 8. Naturally, there is no way I can protect my body from such a large amount of heat with the remaining two.

"Elana!"

 In the midst of the violent ups and downs of my field of vision, caused by the struggle between gravity and propulsion, I saw a hand being extended toward me.

"K-Kurai-san."

 As soon as I grasped her hand, which had several small scars etched into it, the sensation inside me started to move again. And gravity was no exception.

 Stop the eruption of magic. But no matter how different the world of common sense, it seems that energy is needed to secure position, and having lost my foothold, my entire mass was entrusted to the connected hands.

 When I looked up, I saw a scar on her right eye. Her arms, well-trained but not losing their femininity, however, were not shaken in the slightest by the mass of a single person.

 Pull.

 A magic wavelength is released. Thorns made of ice were wrapped around Kurai-san's body, and the thorns pulled me and Kurai-san up at once with a force that could not be imagined from the beauty of the thorns.

"Thankーー"

 Swish*! Swish*! Swish*!

 My mouth naturally closes at the deafening sound of wings. A tremendous number of compound eyes turned toward us all at once.

 The entire aisle was filled with bees, bees, beesーー too many. It was impossible to keep track of the number. If it weren't for the barrier Gorkin-san had put up, we would have been swarmed with bees by now.

"Gorkin, do you think you can defend us from them?"

"I'm sorry. This insect is eating mana. I'm afraid it will break sooner or later."

 In the face of a scene that would have caused a stroke for the faint of heart, the calm tones of Kurai-san and Gorkin-san were dependable.

"Elana, add enchantment. Gorkin, increase the thermal conductivity of the barrier to the maximum."

""Understood.""

 The translucent barrier that Gorkin-san is constructing under Kurai-san's direction, changes its quality slightly.

"Knight of the flame. Light your ideals on steel [Flame Space]."

 Unlike earlier, the magic composed of the optimal distribution was activated. The barrier that Gorkin-san deployed became hot and occasionally shot flames outward.

“It works. I'm not worried about them breaking into our barrier, either."

"Good. You two should keep your magic going. No oxygen will be coming in for the time being. All of you wear masks, even if you are confident in your ability to operate without oxygen. And use the A-3 magic potion."

 We quickly took out our masks and put them on. It was an excellent piece of equipment that could withstand magic combat, but it couldn't make that strange "fuu" sound every time we breathed.

 While thinking about such nonsense, I take out a magic potion and inject it into my arm. The magic potion is a conventional medicine that can quickly restore drained mana, but it also has strong side effects. If ingested in quantities exceeding one's own magic capacity, they can cause the body to malfunction in various ways, leading to death. Therefore, its handling is regulated by law, and among the ranks of A, B, C, and D, the use by unqualified civilians is allowed only up to rank D, and even then only up to categories 3 and 2 of the strictly classified categories of 1, 2, and 3. If you need more than that, you have to ask a qualified person. (The magic potion we plan to use for Floria-sama is S rank, which is not intended for personal use.)

 I got the Magical Potion A-1 qualification during my academy days, but Aquim never even took the course in the first place, so he did not have any qualifications of any kind, except for those required for the required courses. Because of this attitude, even though he graduated from the highest educational institution, the Academy of Light Magic, the qualifications held by Aquim were not much different from those of ordinary people.

 For some reason, I felt a vague and unpleasant feeling.

                                                                                                                                        

 ……No, he is now a Knight of Light. He is rarely bound by the common law, so the number of qualifications he possesses is of little relevance. And even if there were a situation that required some kind of qualification or skill, I would be by his side toーー

"All are dosed and wearing masks."

 I was taken aback by Mina's voice.

 Not good. Has the magic potion temporarily dulled my thinking? Although it does not hinder the magic, it is unthinkable to let one's guard down in hostile territory.

 I regained my composure as I watched Kurai-san look at Mina, who was wearing a black mask, for a moment.

"Good. As originally planned, we will locate and track the lost remnants of Aquim Bonvouls battle. If there is a shortcut, we will use [Dive] but continuous use is hard on the body and mind. Don't expect too much from this holy sword. Also, if things go wrong, I will allow you to use the magic potion A-1, but it has strong side effects instead of full recovery. We can withstand up to two doses, but after the effects wear off, it will be extremely difficult to continue fighting. From now on, I will allow each of you to decide when to take it only in an emergency, but please be careful of the dosage limit.”

""Understood.""

"...Nod*."

"Then let's get moving."

 Gorkin-san starts moving with the barrier still in place. I also followed without stopping the magic.

 Swish*! Swish*! Swish*!

 Even though they know they are going to be consumed by the flames, the swarming bees are still attacking. The black mass that falls in the flames looks more like a black beast than an insect, and if you are not careful, the sensation will take away the heat from your mind.

 Swish*! Swish*! Swish*!

"...Kurai-sama, shall we burn it all at once?"

 The exhaustion caused by the high-speed movement and the massive outpouring of mana was recovered by the magic potion. A passageway of this size can be covered with flames for up to 20 meters ahead.

"No, wait until we know the upper limit of their numbers. If they end up burning down, that's fine, but if they come out endlessly, we will only exhaust our power needlessly. If we find something like a den, we will attack."

"Understood... hmm?"

"What's wrong?"

"No, suddenly the heat started to build up."

 The mana required to maintain the magic has become much smaller. It is easier to maintain magic, but it is too sudden and creepy.

 Kurai-san's eyes become as sharp as a knife.

“…Has the path narrowed a bit?”

 I strained my eyes too, but outside the swarm of burning bees, so wildly that it was hard to see a few meters ahead. But I did feel that the path was getting narrower.

 ……Is that why the heat is trapped?

 This was a good possibility, but I still felt that the heat buildup was too rapid compared to the proportion of the narrowed path width.

"Has the wall's material changed?"

 Mina muttered a little. Right afterーー

"Touch me!!"

 We reached out to Kurai-sanーー and in the process, the walls in on us from both sides."

 Gorkin-san's barrier, which is one of the best in the Kingdom of Light when it comes to defensive magic, shatters without gaining even a second of time.

 Bang*!! The aisle closed as if clapping its palm.

 As the sensation fades away, I pat my chest involuntarily.

 Ah, that was close. I had been on the alert, but it is the Demon King's castle. The scale of the trap is not half bad. No, what is more troublesome than the scale of the trap is the power that broke through Gorkin-san's barrier in an instant. It would have been difficult to escape from that predicament with my armor and Mina's thorns.

 We carefully formed up so as not to let go of Kurai-san, and immediately began moving.

 Considering the danger of the Demon King's castle, wouldn't it be better to continue the search for Floria-sama?

 With that in mind, I wondered whether I should say it while we were moving.

 I could not grasp my whole body. I was supposed to be concentrating on my hands, but it felt as if I was moving my legs. Kurai-san's words come back to me.

 Continuous use is hard on the body and mind.

 My vision, which was already blurry, became even more blurred. Mina, who was standing next to me, looked a little strange.

 I'll undo it.

 She must have noticed our abnormality. Kurai-san stopped the activation of the holy sword with almost no time lag from the transmission to execution. The common sense of the world returned to what I knew well.

 Light, sound, smell. The sea of information overflowed and I fell to my knees. I felt an unpleasant sensation similar to vomiting, so I removed my mask as if plucking it off my face.

 All three of them reveal their faces, though they may not have followed my lead.

"Three minute break. Gorkin, set up the peri... meter?"

 Kurai-san's instructions were falling flat. The reason for this was immediately clear. A map appeared in my mind.

 On my knees, I looked down at the bracelet on my wrist.

"Kurai-sama, what should we do?"

 I looked up at Gorkin-san's low voice and saw that Kurai-san was stroking the hilt of the holy sword with her eyes closed.

"…………The possibility of it being a trap is high, but there is also a good chance that it is an irregularity caused by the actions of Floria-sama and Aquim Bonvoul. Above all, with no other leads, there is no way to go...... does anyone have an opinion?"

 Kurai-san looked around at all of us, but no one spoke.

“Alright, let’s go. Leading the way......!? Everyone, ready for battle!!"

 Knives were thrown with blinding speed. The knife was covered with mana and went straight through the passageway, where there were no obstacles, and was bounced off in mid-air.

“An invisible enemy!?”

"Troublesome."

 The physical discomfort is forcibly suppressed by mana, and I stood up. The thorns made of ice grew from Mina's whole body, who was next to me.

"Wait, Mina. Elana, this one is on you. Burn it down with all your might."

"Those who pray in the dark night, draw your swords with determination! If you hold to your unchanging aspirations, the King of Flame will soon visit you [Flame Dragon]"

 The flames I unleashed transformed into the form of a dragon that resembled a serpent. The dragon fills the passageway with its massive body and swallows everything with its huge jaws. And thenーー a distant explosion. The ground vibrates slightly.

"As expected. If it is only the power of magic, your ability is already one of the best in the Kingdom of Light. Even Rosina is no match for you."

"……Thank you very much."

 As I watched the smoke rising from the charred ground, I was struck by a slight dizziness. After all, the advanced magic that I unleash with all my might is very draining. I doubt if I will be able to shoot this level of magic three more times.

"? Mina, what's wrong?"

 Mina was staring at the passage opposite the one I had burned down.

"...Something is coming."

"Wait, Gorkin."

 Gorkin-san was about to deploy his barrier, but Kurai-san stopped him. There was a moment of silence. Soon, the sound reached our ears, which had been strengthened by mana.

 Swish*! Swish*! Swish*!

"Tch, everyone, follow me!"

 We sprinted along the burnt-out passageway, following the back of Kurai-san, who had rushed out. About thirty meters ahead, something appeared around the corner.

"Gauu!"

"Gauu!"

"Gauu!"

 Sharp canine teeth. Bloodshot red eyes and a body that was at least three meters long. When I recognized the three demons in the shape of dogs that appeared from the corner, three knives were already thrust between the eyebrows of the demons.

 The speed at which the knives flew, and above all, the fluidity with which she threw the projectiles. I was impressed by the knight of light, even at a time like this. However, the skin of the demon that appeared seemed to be tough, and it would be difficult to inflict a fatal wound with that knife, no matter how accurately it pierced the vital spot.

 I focused my attention on my right hand. I pulled my sword out of space and cut down the three demons that were frightened by the knife with a single stroke. I can...... do it.

"'Dive."

"Eh?"

 As I watched the knife penetrate the demon's hull, the actions I had pictured in my mind faded into fantasy.

"Kyaa!?"

“Kyuu!?”

"Kyaa!?"

 Each of the three demons raised a high-pitched voice that could not be imagined from their appearance, and the three demons collapsed on the spot.

“…Wasn’t it necessary to touch Kurai-san to activate the power of the holy sword?”

"That is correct."

 Kurai-san pulled her right hand slightly, and the knife that flew out of the bodies of the three demons returned at a tremendous speed.

 For a moment, I thought I saw three lines of threads.

"Thread?"

 The threads, which were designed to be difficult to recognize, extended from the ring that Kurai-san was wearing to the handle of the knife.

"Everything is a matter of ingenuity. Depending on your creativity, one can become five or ten, and vice versa if you fail to be ingenious. Elana, you have great talent, but don't forget that."

"Iーー"

"We're done talking. Focus."

 The side-by-side running ends when Kurai-san increases her speed.

 After that, various demons and traps attacked.

 Water attacks, fire attacks. We had to expend a lot of energy to break through the various types and viciousness, including those that could only be thought of as illusions or pranks.

 However, thanks to our efforts, we finally arrived at our destination.

 It was about three floors up from the floor we had initially entered.

 At the end of the passageway where we were standing huddled together was a circular space, perhaps 300 meters in diameter, with seating surrounding the area.

 An arena. Everyone who saw this scene would associate it with the same thing.

 Have we been lured here?

 The natural question, however, was blown to smithereens by the sight before me.

 The chains made a jingling sound.

"Kuh, fuu, ah, ahh."

 It was the sound of a woman's gasp as she writhed in pleasure, something I had grown accustomed to hearing since I became Aquim's attendant.

 The woman who was bound with chains on her hands and feet was an unbelievably beautiful woman who seemed to be clothed lightly. And surrounding her was a huge body of about two meters in height.

 Its entire body was completely black, without clothing, and there were no eyes or body hair. But it was of good physique, with a thick chest plate and well-defined abdominal muscles.

 Thump*, thump*. Thump*, thump*.

 The obscene sound of flesh colliding with flesh echoed through the arena.

 A moving doll that only looks like a person. The beautiful woman who was raped by such a thing let out a small gasp in time with the doll's violent piston movement. But her eyes are vacant, and we wonder if she is really conscious......

 Thump*, thump*. Thump*, thump*.

"Fuu…… ah…………"

 Her shiny golden hair clung to her sweaty skin, making her unusually glamorous. It is almost as if one might find immoral fascination in the abhorrent sight of humiliation.

 Her throat rumbles. Although she was in a situation where she had to hide, her vocal cords trembled unintentionally.

“F-Floria…… sama?”

"Ah, ah, hyaa, ah, ah."

 Spurt*, spurt*. Spurt*, spurt*.

 The semen released by the doll poured down on our king who was being raped in the middle of the arena.
