28. Lily Jane vs The Demon King (2)

The faint moonlight that had seeped into the room made the pitch-black eyes glisten like jewels.

Yet the viscous killing intent swirling within them was utterly sinister.

[…Why, why did it have to be Lily? Why?]

The rough, violent emotions that seemed ready to destroy everything at any moment didn’t last long.

Instead, starlight glimmered in the abyss that had absorbed the gloom of frustration and pessimism.

Soon, a galaxy of darkness began to drip drop by drop.

‘Ah.’

Is this how the tears of mermaids from legends would look?

The surreal, abnormal beauty tightened its grip on my heart.

‘Jane.’

But what truly shocked me was the very fact that she was crying.

She always wore an emotionless expression that made me wonder if she was truly human.

Only occasionally, no, frequently when tormenting me would she let out a beautiful ‘hehe’ laugh – my Master.

And now that very Master was crying.

My lover, my Master, was shedding tears drop by drop.

‘Wh-what do I do?’

Seeing Jane’s tears for the first time, my mind went completely blank.

The falling droplets became sharp blades tearing at my chest.

I wanted to rush over and hug her immediately.

I wanted to pat her back and comfort her, saying it’s okay.

But it remained just a passing thought.

-Bzzzt

Like a malfunctioning television, Jane’s face momentarily blurred.

The window reflecting her face was one I’d barely managed to create to show the outside world.

‘Jane…’

This is the Backside of the Soul.

The Prison of Imagery existing in the deepest part of any sentient being.

I’m trapped in the abyss where the Demon King was imprisoned until recently.

Having lost initiative, all I can do in this dream world is helplessly crouch down.

[Sniff…]

Then the tearful Jane slowly raised her head.

And very slowly reached her hand toward me.

I too reached my hand toward her.

Though we couldn’t grasp each other, I wanted to touch.

-Plop

With a sound like a water droplet falling, ripples formed on the window.

And Jane’s eyes widened as she looked at me, at the Demon King.

‘Eh? Huh? What? What was that?’

I also jumped in surprise and fell backward.

Because I could faintly feel the sensation of my cheek being stroked.

‘W-was it just my imagination?’

I hurriedly touched the window again.

As warmth rose up, the rims of my eyes grew hot.

It wasn’t my imagination.

Each time Jane reached out to caress the Demon King, the window’s image shook, and I could faintly feel her touch.

But that was all.

No further changes occurred.

‘Ah.’

My soaring hopes came crashing down in an instant.

The tears I’d been holding back finally overflowed and began streaming down.

[Ah.]

At that moment, Jane let out a small sigh.

I thought her face would be colored with despair.

‘Huh?’

But what’s this?

Jane was smiling.

Though still soaked with tears, she was clearly smiling.

Just like when she was filled with excitement right before tormenting me.

‘Eek?!’

***

“No way…”

Flustered by the contact, the Demon King showed a reaction similar to Lily’s when embarrassed by the lewd atmosphere.

Her jewel-like eyes, carefully cut by master craftsmen, shook uncontrollably.

Her cute exposed shoulders hunched in shyness.

Toes curling tight and lips squirming.

The fingers tied behind her back were probably wiggling too.

“Wh-why are you looking at me like that!”

She likely didn’t realize these were unconscious habits imprinted on the physical body.

But Jane saw it.

The faint glimmer of Lily’s adorable yellow in the Demon King’s red eyes.

“Ha…”

Jane let out a small sigh of relief.

The Demon King had mentioned Lily’s soul remained inside.

But directly sensing her presence was a different matter entirely.

“Eek…!”

Seeing Jane’s hopeful smile, the Demon King trembled violently.

After mustering all her dignity to put on airs, it had all been for nothing.

“You hopeless perverts…”

The Demon King’s face flushed bright red with embarrassment.

This was all Lily’s fault, that dimwitted child.

Having played so lewdly and wantonly, the body rejoiced at mere contact.

While trapped in the Backside of the Soul, the Demon King was forced to watch all sorts of indecent scenes.

The lingering effects of Lily and Jane’s sticky pornography still tormented the Demon King.

After nearly a year of pent-up frustration, the Demon King finally poured out her words.

“Y-you b-bad- mmmph?!”

Or tried to.

If not for the softness blocking her lips, she would have unleashed every curse she knew.

But the Demon King’s rightful venting remained only in imagination.

“Wai- hmph. Hn, crazy- hnn.”

Worried Lily-no, the Demon King-might escape,

Jane firmly held her waist with one hand and the back of her head with the other, kissing her repeatedly.

Jane was desperate.

Less than a day had passed since being separated from Lily in the audience chamber.

But her blood Lily levels had already hit rock bottom.

Though the Demon King had taken the body, knowing Lily remained deep inside allowed her to satisfy her desires.

She even had a good excuse.

The pretense of reconfirming that Lily’s presence she’d sensed earlier wasn’t a misunderstanding.

So just a little more.

Only a little more.

“Hnn, mph, heh…”

What began as light lip contact had unknowingly turned into a deep, tongue-twisting kiss.

Quickened breaths naturally created gaps that hot tongues invaded, mixing saliva.

“Mph, hnn, uhn…”

The Demon King’s waist, which had been twitching intermittently, suddenly arched sharply.

“Ngh.”

At the same time, Jane, who seemed like she’d never let go, covered her mouth and stepped back slightly.

“Hngh, hng. Bathory…!”

The Demon King, having bitten the tongue that was teasing her mouth, gasped for breath.

Her waist, pelvis-everything trembled uncontrollably from the climax’s aftermath.

“What a relief.”

Meanwhile, Jane smiled deeply, her mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood.

-Blink blink

The Demon King’s jewel eyes, reminiscent of blood.

The right pupil flashed yellow intermittently.

The presence of Lily she wanted to reconfirm sparkled brightly.

No clearer evidence existed.

Then Jane voiced the question circling her mind.

“Let me ask one thing. Can you really return Lily to me?”

Even if the Demon King hadn’t regained her full power, the gap between her and Lily was substantial.

Yet such lewd contact alone could shake the soul’s presence.

Perhaps she hadn’t fully settled in yet.

It might be different later.

But now, while the soul was still swayed by the body, Jane could read the Demon King’s thoughts.

Lily was naive enough for her thoughts to show plainly on her face.

“Eeek…!”

The Demon King’s reaction was exactly as expected.

From the briefly visible flustered expression, Jane got the answer she wanted.

The Demon King couldn’t voluntarily separate Lily’s soul.

“Hehe.”

Only then did Jane wipe the tears staining her cheeks.

The [Demon King Slayer] still radiated an overwhelming presence.

But it was bearable for now.

She had some leeway to try the solution that came to mind.

-Gulp

Under Jane’s unwavering gaze, the Demon King unconsciously swallowed.

***

-Swiish

“Hii- mph.”

Well-maintained almond-shaped nails delicately trailed down the slender neck.

As if trying to endure the disgraceful display from earlier, the Demon King tightly sealed her lips.

Yet she couldn’t stop her entire body from trembling at the teasing touches.

“Are you scared? The mighty Demon King?”

A smile with only one corner crookedly raised and beautifully curved eyes.

Provoked by Jane’s mocking smile, the Demon King’s brow furrowed deeply.

“Wh-who said anything about being scared!”

“Then why are you shaking like this?”

“I-it’s outrageous! That’s why!”

“Hmm?”

“Clearly you’ve stolen this body, so it’s no longer your lover’s.”

Encouraged by Jane’s calm demeanor, the Demon King regained some confidence.

She straightened her back, raised her chin, and asked Jane:

“Yet you touch so freely and kiss like this-is this really what you call love? Isn’t it just vulgar heat?”

“Hmm…”

Jane silently stared at the Demon King’s chattering lips.

The silent gaze made the Demon King’s shoulders slowly shrink again.

“Wh-why are you looking at me like that… Say something…”

“Just as I thought.”

“…Just as you thought?”

Tilting her head as she repeated Jane’s words, the Demon King noticed Lily’s traces in that small motion.

Jane gently pushed the Demon King.

“Eeek!”

As the Demon King fell back weakly, Jane placed her hands on either side of her face.

Exhaling softly, she spoke:

“It’s fine even if it’s just vulgar heat.”

“…What?”

“When I whisper, Lily gets embarrassed. When I touch, Lily feels it.”

“Th-that’s just the body’s reaction…!”

“Still, I should get Lily’s consent.”

“Huh?”

Jane lightly grabbed the Demon King’s white hair and kissed it.

“I’m going to do what Lily loves most now.”

“Wh-what nonsense is this, Bathory!”

“I can’t be gentle or tender. Instead, I’ll be very rough and forceful.”

“Preposterous! Do you think I’ll allow this!”

“You can say no if you don’t want it.”

“I don’t want it!”

“Of course, I’ll only listen if Lily says it directly.”

“Eeek!”

Jane explained what would happen next in a low, calm voice.

As if confirming Jane’s warning message, Lily’s yellow light flashed once in the Demon King’s crimson jewel eyes.

“Ah.”

Jane smiled brightly at Lily’s shy, adorable consent.

So beautiful was that smile that the Demon King couldn’t push away the hand slipping into her underwear in time.

-Squish

“Eeek?!”

“Hehe, you’re wet.”

The finger that slightly pulled aside the panties parted the softest flesh in the world and pushed into the moist opening.

Though only the tip entered, the body desperately clenched around it.

“Hngh, ah, stop. Ahhn.”

The Demon King squeezed her thighs together, squirming to shake off the invading finger.

But Jane leisurely moved her finger while licking away the teardrops in the crimson jewel eyes.

-Squelch squelch

“Hnn, w-wait! This is strange!”

“It’s okay. It feels good, right? Just feel it.”

A secret whisper tickling her ear.

Shallow, rapid stimulation teasing her entrance.

The pleasure she’d always felt indirectly through Lily in the Backside of the Soul now directly seeped into her mind.

Far more intense than she’d clumsily imagined, the overwhelming stimulation dilated the Demon King’s pupils.

And then

“St-stop! It’s weird…! Something’s weird…? Hn, ahhn?”

Her legs stretched out straight, toes curling.

Electric pleasure raced up her spine from her groin.

“Ah, aah? Hngk?!”

Climax.

Experiencing orgasm for the first time, the Demon King trembled violently.

“Ha, haa. Haa…”

Though brief, the shocking pleasure left her mind in complete disarray.

As she struggled to catch her breath, a cold gaze made her flinch.

“How was it?”

“Haah, haah.”

“It felt good.”

Jane, who’d brought the Demon King to climax in under a minute, asked.

She licked her finger as if the caress had been nothing.

“St-stop… I don’t want this…”

“Let’s have fun, Lily.”

“Eeek!!!”
