For a good fifteen minutes, an absolute, unbroken silence reigned in the bedroom, disturbed only by quiet breathing and the occasional rustle of the velvet bedding.
Lily sat on Vespera’s lap completely motionless, staring blankly at the pulsing blue interface - and specifically at the glaring, shameless line reading:
Class - Sex Slave.
At last, she let out another exceptionally heavy, deep sigh from her chest.
“Honestly...” she forced out under her breath, her long bunny ears suddenly twitching and slowly rising upward.
“I guess it’s better to be the sex slave of a powerful, impossibly gorgeous woman than to suffer endlessly in that damn black void...”
“A wise choice, my little bunny,” came the rolling, melodious laughter of the Demon Queen from behind her.
“You’re finally starting to think rationally. Now, since you’ve accepted your fate... shall I explain how your System works?”
Lily heard the question, but instead of answering, she closed her eyes tightly for a moment. Rather than speaking, she focused all her attention on the entirely new organs growing from her head.
She began subtly flexing previously nonexistent muscles, attempting to move her fluffy ears - twisting them in different ways, folding them back, and perking them straight up.
Not receiving an immediate answer from her pet, Vespera raised her brows and looked down at her.
Seeing her ears contort into completely absurd, twisted shapes in midair - twisting into pretzel-like loops and whirling like tiny propellers - she fell quiet for a moment, watching her with growing fascination and amusement.
After a minute of intense trial and error, once Lily had mastered the basic movement mechanics of her new limbs, she perked one ear straight up, adorably folded the other in half, and turned her head to look at Vespera with the most innocent smile she could muster.
“Really, Mistress...? Would you personally teach me?” she mumbled with sweet, rehearsed helplessness.
“A ruler possessed of such terrifying magic, brilliant intellect, and matchless majesty has the entire world to worry about... yet you stoop to explain everything to a tiny, silly little bunny like me? You’re incredibly understanding, Mistress!”
Taking in this concentrated sweetness, the single flopped ear, and the utterly darling expression, the Demon Queen simply couldn't contain herself.
“Oh my goodness, what a tiny, sweet little creature you are!” she squealed.
Her hands seized Lily’s cheeks, mercilessly squishing them back and forth, kneading and stretching them exactly like an excited owner playing with a favorite purebred puppy.
“A real, helpless, fluffy plushie! Such a precious little pet!”
Hearing these exaggerated delights and feeling those slender fingers knead her chubby cheeks, Lily was startled to feel a strange, spreading bliss wash through her body.
What the hell... why does this feel so good?!
Does this body literally have some stupid petting instinct built in?! she barely had time to think, before the pleasure was brutally demolished by a sharp, burning pain.
“Aah!” she squeaked loudly as Vespera’s nails snapped around her erect, exposed nipple without the slightest warning, twisting it mercilessly.
“However, remember this, my pet...” Vespera purred, her voice shifting in a fraction of a second from sweet to ice-cold and razor-sharp.
“When I ask you a question, you answer immediately, instead of making me wait while you finish playing with your ears. Understood?”
“I-I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, Mistress!” Lily gasped with tears in her eyes, trembling in her embrace as she felt her sensitive nipple twisted to the right.
Hearing the immediate submission and proper title, the Demon Queen released her breast with a satisfied hum.
Lily let out a massive breath of relief, instantly crossing her arms over her chest and frantically shielding her sore nipples from those claws.
Vespera merely offered a patronizing smirk, pulling her petite body even closer against her own.
The demoness’s hands wrapped tightly around her waist, causing the bunny girl’s head to land directly between her two gigantic breasts.
Oh damn... they’re so soft... and they smell like some insanely expensive, sweet perfume... flashed through Lily’s dazed mind as her cheek buried straight into that lush cleavage.
Unbothered by her bewilderment, Vespera raised one hand and pointed a long finger at a line in the bunny girl's floating status window:
Race: Moon Rabbit.
“This race is a rare, higher variant of the Beastkin family,” she began explaining in a calm, slightly instructional tone, her breasts gently rising and falling with each breath right against the girl's face.
“Your direct cousins and sisters are other rabbit branches. For instance, we have Sun Rabbits, Blood Rabbits, and War Rabbits.”
Hearing those names, Lily snuggled even deeper into the soft valley of her bust, meticulously exploiting the comfortable position while listening intently to every word.
“Blood Rabbits and War Rabbits?” she repeated curiously, tilting her head.
“Precisely,” Vespera nodded. “Those two branches are pure combat types, specializing in brutal melee, high endurance, and aggressive magic. As for Sun Rabbits and your variant, the Moon Rabbit... their primary trait is an exceptional, almost magical, breathtaking appearance. They were created to enchant, but in exchange, they possess drastically weaker physical and combat capabilities.”
“That’s kind of unfair...” Lily muttered, resting her chin on the corset.
“That some get powerful combat abilities while the other two races just look pretty, but are weak and helpless.”
Vespera shrugged her shoulders carelessly.
“The world has never been fair, sweet-talker, nor will it ever be. The sooner you accept that, the less disappointed you’ll be.”
Lily nodded thoughtfully; after all, having lived her previous life as a middle-class human, she understood that brutal truth all too well.
A moment later, the Demon Queen’s long, black-painted nail slid down the interface, stopping on the entry:
Gender: Futanari.
“And this...” Vespera purred, that predatory lilt returning to her voice, “is an extraordinarily rare mutation that appears sporadically across every race. Simply put, your body has fully developed the physical traits of both sexes simultaneously.”
“Ah, I already noticed and investigated that,” Lily said briskly, trying to sound confident.
“Not only do I have boobs and bunny ears now, but at least down below I still have my old, albeit slightly smaller, little brother. So it’s not all bad.”
Hearing that nonchalant answer, Vespera slowly trailed her hand downward.
Her fingers passed the girl's soft stomach, slid over her thighs, and dipped slightly lower - right beneath her small testicles and tiny shaft. There, her slender, warm fingers slowly and shamelessly brushed against a soft, deeply hidden slit.
In that exact fraction of a second, Lily’s entire body went rigid, and both of her bunny ears shot straight up with such intense tension they turned as hard as wooden stakes.
Seeing those terrifyingly stiffened ears, the Demon Queen leaned close to them and whispered in a velvety voice soaked in vengeful delight:
“Not only do you have a penis, my sweet little bunny... but you also have your very own tight, little pussy.”
Lily froze.
Her eyes went so wide they nearly popped out of her sockets, and an absolute, dead vacuum descended upon her mind.
“W-what...?” she forced out, her gaze wandering aimlessly across the ceiling.
For the first few seconds, the fact didn't compute at all. In her mind, memories from her old life began racing frantically - she remembered how, pulling all-nighters before exams, she used to read dirty web novels online.
There, futanari characters simply had a male organ attached to a completely female body, and that was it! She had assumed it was the exact same for her!
And yet...
“I... I have a... pussy?!” she blurted out at the top of her lungs, thoroughly shocked and bewildered.
The Demon Queen erupted into genuine, amused laughter at that impossibly stupid, panicked question.
“Of course you do!” she cackled, stroking her thigh and rubbing her finger against that sensitive spot.
“Isn't it so much more interesting this way? When my little bunny possesses not only her tiny penis, but an absolutely tight, hot little slit as well? After all, your S-rank class finally demands something of you!”
