Having finally released my desires, I felt a wave of calm wash over me. I stripped off my upper garments, leaving myself completely naked, and pulled Yurina into my arms. As I stimulated my now-re-erect manhood with my fingers, I used my other hand to teasingly rub her core. We exchanged these mild caresses, stoking the embers of pleasure as we lingered in the space between acts. While our bodies remained connected, I began my interrogation.
”So?” I asked, my voice steady and neutral. “About what we were saying earlier—why did you think I had orchestrated it?”
Yurina shifted, her voice trembling with a hint of aristocratic fragility. “I, I mean… it was just too perfect to be a coincidence, if you’ll pardon the intrusion, sir.”
Pinned under my assault, she stayed clearly on the defensive. She looked nothing like the girl who had dug her nails into me moments earlier. Her gaze darted around frantically, like a student being grilled in a guidance room. It was the kind of fragile atmosphere where she would answer anything if I pressed her hard enough.
”It was a hell of a coincidence, I’ll give you that,” I said. “Seriously. …Shibuya, right? I had been looking into the boys, too. You see, any bad bug that might lay a hand on my woman, my thing… I have to keep an eye on. As a Majin, I can’t have someone else snatching what’s mine behind my back. You belong to me now. You understand, don’t you?”
”Yes…!” she whispered, her voice barely audible.
”I don’t care about the guy, but the girl? She was off my radar. Were you two acquaintances?”
”We were… since elementary school.”
”Were you close?”
”That is… h-huff… not particularly, I’m afraid.”
”Didn’t look like that from today’s performance.”
”She… she and Risa just never got along. They were always bickering… always on the verge of a fight.”
I urged her to continue.
”And, well… Maruyama-san has always been rather aggressive toward him, never bothering to hide her favor. She’d be harsh with us, too… and since Risa and I both held positive feelings for him… being a ‘Strong-Female’ trying to stand against us, things just… got complicated.”
”So, what’s their relationship, originally?”
”I believe… their parents are close.”
”I see.”
So, they were rivals for the same man.
”…Word has spread to our old classmates that Risa and I have joined Minoru-sama’s group.”
”I’d imagine so.”
”We were… well, we were outcasts in school. We didn’t have many close friends. Everyone else was on her side.”
It was a sentiment I could strangely understand. With Risa’s pride and personality, she was never going to get along with the other girls. And if she hung out with other ‘Strong-Females,’ she’d just be looked down upon. Perhaps she was actually at her most vibrant now, plotting and scheming with Chifumi.
”And whenever that happened, it was always him who stood up for us.”
”Hmm.”
I reached out, cupping Yurina’s chin to make her look up at me, and pressed my lips to hers. I invaded her mouth, making a show of sucking on her tongue as she timidly tried to pull away. While I kept my index finger rhythmically sliding in and out of her, I rubbed her clitoris through the hood.
A deep, wet kiss lasted nearly a minute. Yurina’s lower body began to twitch, and her thighs tensed involuntarily. Seeing that her body had grown sufficiently heated, I pulled away and gave the order.
”Come.”
”!! …Minoru-sama, I love you… Haa… why so sudden and intense?”
”I just wanted to reaffirm that you are mine, Yurina.”
”Eh? …Ah… yes, I am… aren’t I?”
”So? Continue.”
”Ah, yes.”
While I kept her lost in the moment, she resumed stroking my manhood and began to talk about that girl again.
”It seems someone is spreading rumors about how we got ‘leveled’ by a ‘Strong-Male’ and how ‘it serves us right.’ Risa apparently even receives letters slandering our situation… I wonder if she has a hand in it.”
”The ‘Strong-Females’ joining a group means they’ve become the mistresses of the group’s ‘Strong-Male’ leader. That’s just what everyone thinks, isn’t it?”
”Yes…”
Yurina shifted, pulling herself slightly closer to me.
”Shibuya might be under the impression that you’ve already been eaten by me. Should I create an opportunity for you to defend yourself?”
”…No, that kind of consideration is unnecessary, if you please.”
”What? You’re not going to deny it?”
”…”
”You could play the victim, say you’re still pure, that you’ve kept your virtue for him… you might even win him back.”
”Minoru-sama, you’re being mean…”
She lightly scratched my chest in a fit of pique.
”You don’t actually think that, do you?”
”I know… that you don’t.”
Yurina pressed her face against my chest, licking the spot she’d scratched as if to soothe it.
”Nn… chu.”
She latched onto my nipple, then pulled away, showing me how she licked it, slick and slow.
”What’s with the sudden aggression?”
”I don’t know… nnh… I just thought, how foolish I was…”
”Foolish? Who?”
”Everyone… no, I am the biggest fool of them all.”
Chu— She sucked on my chest. When she pulled back, a hickey was already blooming there. Chifumi and Risa had left their marks, and now Yurina was doing the same. For some reason, all my females felt the need to leave their brand on my body.
”To think I wanted to be with a guy like that, to think I didn’t want to lose to a girl like her… it feels stupid now. I was so blind. ‘Foolish’ doesn’t even begin to cover it.”
”…”
Yurina continued, rubbing her head against my chest.
”I realized it. The Hayato I thought I loved so much… when I stood in front of him, I realized I wasn’t thinking, I don’t want Shibuya to misunderstand me. I was thinking, I don’t want Minoru-sama to hate me.”
”…”
”Minoru-sama is more important to me than Shibuya. The moment I understood that…”
”…”
”…the scales fell from my eyes. I feel like I can finally look at those two calmly.”
I stroked her hair, listening in silence as she laid her heart bare.
”The reason he was kind to us was… well, he was considerate, but… it wasn’t out of genuine care for us. Chu… it was because he was scared. He treated us carefully so we wouldn’t get angry. Just like the attitude I had toward Minoru-sama until just a moment ago…”
That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Using your tail to wag at the strong was an essential survival tactic. Even I, while acting arrogant toward Yurina now, remained humble before my grandfather, my father, or the veterans of the Head House.
Even if kindness was based on calculation, it could become real kindness depending on how the other person received it. It was a fact that the Yurina of that time had been saved by his kindness. That fact itself wasn’t bad.
Yurina understood that, but she was saying that now, it was different.
”Now that I’m being sought by a strong male like… Minoru-sama… refusing this to… to keep my virtue for a weak male like him… based on childhood memories… it’s just ridiculous.”
”I see.”
”And he… he’s off having fun with… her.”
She looked up at me and answered firmly.
”I don’t care about a man like that anymore… I… the current me wants to be Minoru-sama’s witch. Minoru-sama’s alone.”
”I see.”
”My purity, too… I offer it to you. Please, I beg you… have mercy on me…”
She pressed her body against mine, wrapping her legs around mine—she had completely raised the white flag. Even if there were other males she had admired, they all fell within a month. This was what it meant to be a ‘Strong-Female’ who had been ‘leveled.’
Personally, I welcomed the offer, but it felt like a waste to just take everything exactly as she wanted right now. Since the development of her rear hole was going so well, I decided to stick to the original plan: make that part fully usable first, and enjoy her as a tail-end female for a while.
”Fine. In that case, Yurina, I’m appointing you a role different from Chifumi and Risa.”
”Yes. What might that be?”
”A training dummy. You’ll hone the techniques I need to enjoy your back hole.”
”Yes. I understand.”
Yurina nodded immediately.
”You’ll train using my bottom, and then use the results on Risa and Chifumi-san, won’t you? …I am just happy to be of use to Minoru-sama, to everyone.”
After planting a kiss on my collarbone, Yurina shifted, turning her back to me.
”…Please.”
She offered her bottom. I stroked her firm cheeks with my right hand. Unlike Risa’s large bottom or Chifumi’s plump ones, Yurina’s was smaller and taut. But that was only compared to them; it still had plenty of volume, easily on par with a gravure idol’s. It was a fine asset.
A toy connected to a console was already inserted into the target hole. As I moved my palm toward the center, my fingertips brushed against the artificial material, creating a dull tap.
”Nnh!”
The vibration sent a shiver down Yurina’s spine. I grabbed the toy and moved it rhythmically.
”Nn… nnh!”
Her response was instant. I moved my hand slightly forward to where her core was slick with her own fluids, and smeared them onto the rear entrance.
The wet, squelching sound of the liquid echoed faintly.
While I operated the toy with my right thumb, I inserted the tip of my middle finger into her front. Stimulating both holes at once, I felt her thighs tense up.
”Ah… aaah… aaah!”
I pushed the toy in the rear a bit more forcefully.
”Kuh… M-Minoru-sama… I love you!”
Yurina stiffened, her body shaking as she convulsed in my arms. It might have been the first time she’d reached a climax from her rear without an explicit order. The hair ornament she was wearing swayed near my face.
”Hah… hah… hah…”
I held her until her breathing steadied, and then her hand overlapped with mine. She turned back to look at me, demanding something, so I kissed her. Tentatively, but with her own intent, she pushed her tongue out toward me.
This level of initiative… wasn’t she already fully trained? It was a display of devotion that made it easy to think so.
Following the act, we took a bath together to wash away the sweat. Even here, Yurina showed her dedication. She lathered herself and started washing my body—a service I’d received from Chifumi and Risa, but never from Yurina. Until now, I’d only ever asked her to use a towel to wash my back, but she had volunteered to do this herself.
”I… I heard from the others. It’s done like this, right…?”
Perhaps embarrassed because it was her first time, her face turned bright red as she moved slickly over my body. With her long black hair tied up, the volume of her hair was impressive. That was when I remembered something that had been bothering me.
”By the way, you were wearing an unusual hair ornament earlier.”
”Ah, yes.”
”What’s the story with that?”
”That is… an heirloom passed down in the Kibe family…”
She took my hand and continued, washing my chest.
”They say it’s a lucky charm—that if you wear it and receive grace, you’ll be blessed with a Sorcery-user child. It’s just a superstition, really. I usually keep it in my wallet, but… today was the first time I decided to wear it.”
”I see. So, does that mean you intended to give everything to me from the very start? Come to think of it, your tone was different the moment you entered the room.”
”Minoru-sama, you’re mean… you want me to say it…”
It seemed my smug grin had given away my intent.
Yurina stood up, poured water over us to rinse off the soap, and when I sat up, she undid her hair, kneeling before me in a dogeza. Her lustrous black hair fanned out below my gaze.
”I, Kibe Yurina, am Minoru-sama’s ‘Strong-Female.’ Please, use me for a long, long time. I offer everything to you, and I will do my best.”
”Yeah, count on it.”
As I took her hand and we slipped into the bath together, she leaned against me, hesitant but present. She was completely broken in.
With this, the foundation for our dungeon assault was all but complete.
I’ll do my best to finish the remaining preparations over the next week.
Summary:
Minoru finalizes the submission of Yurina, who has fully transitioned into his devoted subordinate. After interrogating her about her past connections, Minoru engages her in a training exercise using an internal toy to prepare her for his use. Yurina confirms her total abandonment of her former life and desire to be his exclusively, leading to a final moment of intimacy in the bath.
Trivia:
Yurina uses a traditional Kibe family hair ornament believed to bless the user with Sorcery-user children.
Minoru views the act of ‘Strong-Females’ joining his group as them becoming mistresses to a ‘Strong-Male.’
Yurina admits her former kindness from the boy was actually fear-based, mirroring her own early interactions with Minoru.
The ‘leveled’ (‘wakara-sareta’) state is described as a phenomenon where a ‘Strong-Female’ falls within a month of being dominated.
