Ch.312Half-Baked (6)

In a situation where I couldn’t move my limbs due to the binding bullets, Ireh repeatedly explored my lips.

“Mmph, hmmph, slurp…”

The wet, sticky kisses made my head spin.

I knew in my mind that this shouldn’t be happening. Yet my body was honest, and I could feel my lower half gradually swelling.

Moreover, there was a reason I couldn’t help it. Ireh was straddling me, twisting her body this way and that.

I was also under the influence of an aphrodisiac, making it difficult to maintain my sanity.

Nevertheless, I squeezed out my last remaining reason to resist.

“Lady Ireh! You shouldn’t do this! You’ll definitely regret it later!”

“But my body, my body is so hot! If I don’t relieve it right now, I’ll go crazy from the pain…!”

“You know it’s because of the foreign god! If we give in to instinct here, both of us will be in trouble later!”

I feared the breakdown of the harmonious relationship between Ireh and my two wives. But what I feared even more was the possibility that Ireh might fall into self-loathing once she returned to her senses.

If we were to have relations in this situation, we would both merely be victims. But Ireh would undoubtedly consider herself the perpetrator.

To think she’d become a beast crazed with lust who violated her comrade.

I knew Ireh’s personality well. I could clearly see what dilemma she would fall into and what mental anguish she would suffer.

“Please bear with it just a little longer! And release these bindings! I’ll try to resolve this somehow…!”

However, my desperate plea was cut off like a rice cake. It was because Ireh covered my mouth once more. A sweet fragrance mercilessly pierced my nostrils.

“I’m sorry, really sorry, brother… but I’m really at my limit now! If I have to do this with someone, I’d rather it be you…!”

“This is rape!”

“…!”

Rape. The crime Ireh despised most. The situation was so urgent that I blurted it out without thinking.

“R-rape? No! Men always like it when women do this…!”

“A man with proper sexual values doesn’t mix bodies with just any woman! At least I don’t! You’re not my lover, Lady Ireh! Moreover, if this isn’t rape, what is it when there’s not even consent?”

“Ah…”

It was working. Ireh showed signs of hesitation.

Of course, I wasn’t saying this because I was impotent. I was trying to stop her because I had no confidence in handling the aftermath.

Having broken her momentum by shouting forcefully, I thought I could now speak calmly again.

“I know you’re struggling with desire right now. But please bear with it a little longer. You’ve endured so much throughout your difficult life. If you can just get through this hurdle, I’ll take care of the rest…”

“…because of you.”

“Pardon?”

“You, it’s because of you. Because you always show me your cool side, because you’ve shown me how many times you’d sacrifice for me, I’ve changed like this…!”

“What are you saying now! Ugh!”

I felt her warmth from below where blood had gathered. Despite being touched over my pants, the pleasure was amplified dozens of times due to the aphrodisiac, racing up my spine.

“Wa, wah…”

There was no focus in Ireh’s eyes as she fumbled with my body. Drool dripped continuously, staining my clothes with several drops.

It wasn’t just saliva that was falling. Her tears, formed drop by drop, settled on my cheeks like dew.

“H-honestly, you don’t hate me either. If you hated me, you wouldn’t have done so much for me all this time. So… this isn’t forcing you. Yes, at least it’s an accident. An unavoidable accident…”

She had completely lost her mind. At this point, her reason had essentially been devoured by lust. It would be fair to say that Ireh was now speaking and moving purely on instinct.

After bombarding me with several more kisses, Ireh suddenly stopped moving.

“N-next. Next…”

She hesitated, rolling her unfocused eyes.

“What should I do next?”

Could she really not know?

No, no matter what, she was talented enough to get into Stellarium College, so there’s no way she wouldn’t know the process of how relationships between men and women work.

She was probably asking to confirm that what she was doing wasn’t a crime. It was the last bastion of reason that remained.

“Get off me and release these bindings!”

“That’s not it!”

Even that final bastion crumbled, swept away by the wave of lust. Ireh began to clumsily remove a layer of my clothing.

It was at that moment when I thought everything was completely ruined.

“Young master!”

Whoosh!

A caliper flew from the direction of the voice, striking Ireh’s arm as it passed. Ireh staggered, losing her balance. At the same time, the spiritual binding on me was released.

It was Sonia, without even having to look. She quickly grabbed Ireh from behind and struck the nape of her neck with the edge of her hand. Ireh made an “ugh” sound before collapsing onto me.

“Sonia!”

“Are you alright, young master?”

“Thanks to you, I survived. You came at just the right time.”

Sonia sighed as she supported the unconscious Ireh and slung her over her shoulder.

“Really, doing it is fine, but I wish you’d choose the time and place. What kind of behavior is this in the sacred spirit chamber?”

“It’s not Ireh’s fault. It’s the foreign god’s doing.”

“Even taking that into account… Sigh, no. This isn’t the time to discuss this.”

Sonia’s last cut-off words bothered me, but I decided not to probe for now. If it was something she didn’t want to talk about, there was no point in asking.

“What about the support personnel?”

“They’re coming this way, cleaning up as they go. I deliberately didn’t bring them here in case a situation like this might occur.”

“Thank you. You’ve saved the Rheinland family.”

If word of what just happened had somehow gotten out to others and made it to the mass media, I can’t imagine what would have happened. At the very least, the family image would have been greatly tarnished.

In the worst case, we might have been investigated for public indecency. If it went that far, it would really be a headache.

Sonia slightly lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed her head.

“There’s no need to thank me. I’m also a member of the Rheinland family.”

Afterward, we discussed how to handle the situation and what to do with Ireh. Since taking her to a hospital or finding lodging was ambiguous, we chose to put her on a private spaceship and tie her up securely with belts.

Even after opening her eyes, Ireh wasn’t in her right mind.

Rather, the effect of the curse cast by the foreign god deepened over time, causing her to complain of pain and crave pleasure. Both Sonia and I were greatly shocked by the fact that the proud Ireh Hazlen could fall this far.

“Are you alright, young master?”

“I managed to take care of it beforehand.”

“I thought you had the face of a sage. I, Sonia, could have helped you.”

“I didn’t want to pour my lust on you in this state.”

“It might be because of that aspect of yours that Lady Ireh went even more berserk.”

I recalled the words Ireh had said when she pounced on me. Indeed, she hadn’t made any statements about desiring just any man.

Could she have had some reason left?

It’s puzzling. Since I couldn’t contact Cartesia, I couldn’t read Ireh’s true feelings through her.

Considering these points, Cartesia was currently the most important. To face Powehi and Renatus, I needed to somehow reconnect with her.

Fortunately, Sonia had a method.

“Thanks to receiving 100% of the power from that foreign god, I can open a gate to the imaginary space. Would you like to enter now?”

“We have to go in. Even though we’re not properly prepared.”

Renatus and Powehi are foreign gods who move spontaneously. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to prepare perfectly. If they move unpredictably, we must respond with improvisation.

“Then I’ll open the door.”

Saaah.

A dark blue portal, resembling Cartesia’s hair color, appeared. Sonia and I gathered our resolve before stepping forward.

***

Powehi, having enjoyed himself to the fullest, headed to the Sagittarius black hole to see his master. It wasn’t his master’s stronghold, but a place they had agreed to meet after finishing their business.

“Master, I’ve arrived.”

“Good. Did you absorb a lot of energy?”

“It was delicious, thanks to you. Look at this.”

Powehi set down a package filled with Pron and Coin pairs.

“This entire galaxy is one big gold mine. There were some intelligent life forms living here who weren’t affected by my mind control. It was quite interesting.”

“A supernova among countless white dwarfs.”

“I couldn’t resist drawing out my main body to fight, and they were quite capable. Especially a man called Eidel von Rheinland—though his physical power was modest, his mental strength was superior to any entity I’ve faced.”

“Eidel von Rheinland.”

The writhing chaos, Renatus. He cast his gaze elsewhere and quietly spoke.

“Come to think of it, you had a history of making a contract with some inferior creature.”

The words Renatus threw reached the ears of one foreign god. With long navy blue hair and mysterious jade-colored eyes, she had a human form unlike other foreign gods of the Descartes lineage.

“How much must you have envied humans to walk around in that form, Cartesia?”

“…”

The God of Wisdom and Curiosity, Cartesia.

She had failed to repel Renatus who had suddenly invaded, and was defeated. As a consequence, she was bound by tentacles, having lost all the Pron and Coin she had collected.

“Look. Wearing unnecessary clothing has made it all tattered. And like Maxwell or Descartes, you employ subordinates beyond your means, making things so troublesome.”

The Gothic dress with abundant frills was torn to pieces, and her legion, led by Populous, had been completely defeated.

By just one being. By Renatus without exception.

She hadn’t been careless.

The difference in power was simply too great.

If it had been a foreign god of a different lineage, she might have been able to utilize the difference in compatibility, but her opponent was the highest deity of the same lineage. A direct confrontation was futile.

And being bound by the “Chains of Binding,” she couldn’t escape the black hole either. In other words, she was cornered.

‘I was planning to kill this bastard first once that youngster made the weapon.’

Kill before being killed, or be killed before killing.

There were two choices. And from the beginning, only the former fate existed for her.

“Anyway, daughter, you’ve worked hard gathering energy with your half-body.”

Swish, swish.

Renatus, buried in black mist, opened his mouth wide. He intended to absorb all of her remaining enthalpy, Pron, and Coin energy.

“This won’t stop the ‘end,’ but well, a plate of supreme cuisine before going isn’t bad, is it?”

“…You’re garbage.”

“Thanks for the compliment.”

It was all over. Cartesia closed her eyes.

Just as the black maw was about to cover her with a crunch—

“Hey, you bastards, what the hell are you doing to my backing character?”
