Chapter 177

Episode 177: Trick And Treat I think in my head. What should I do? However, Aiden’s actions were faster than my worries. “Ugh…?” The sense of fulfillment I felt inside my stomach disappears in an instant. What was filling me escapes through my vagina, and a lonely emptiness comes with a brief pleasure. Before I could even question it, Aiden’s arm pushed me away. “Ah…?” I lose my balance in an instant and fall onto the cold stone floor.

-Thud.

“Huh?” “What is it?” The men standing at the entrance of the alley tilt their heads at the dull sound. It’s a quiet night anyway. There’s no way they wouldn’t have heard the sound echoing from inside the alley. Moreover, I’m not completely covered in shadows like Aiden. If the men come this way, they’ll have no choice but to find me. …This isn’t a request, it’s an order. Aiden’s order to be embraced by the men in front of his eyes. What is he thinking, wanting me to be gang-raped by them? Is it because I told him last time to allow us to be embraced by others? …Or is it to project Emily onto my figure being brutally violated by the men? “….” Before moving, I glance at Aiden. His figure, melted into the darkness, is so blurry that even my eyesight can’t distinguish a faint boundary. I can’t tell what kind of expression he’s making, I can only recognize a vague outline. Before I could answer that question, the men’s voices rang in my ears. “I think there’s something over there?” “I don’t see anything.” “Then why would we hear a sound?” “I don’t know, maybe it’s a cat.” The men, who were talking to each other, suddenly point to one of them and say. “Hey, go check it out.” “Why me?” “Because you’re the youngest, you stupid bastard.” After a few exchanges, one of the men grumbles and starts walking towards this way. If he’s bad at seeing in the dark, he might not find me hidden in the deep shadows, but the important thing isn’t that.

-What are you doing? Why aren’t you going?

Faintly, I heard such a whisper. The voice, which didn’t seem to have much emotion, coldly pierced my ear. A coercive command in the way I like. That command, which I would have happily nodded to normally, is not welcome now. …I couldn’t know the reason exactly. I just felt that it was different from usual. Not knowing why I was reluctant to do it myself, I slowly got up from the shadows.

-Swish.

As soon as I finished transforming again, my usual appearance was revealed. Radiant blonde hair, blue eyes, and white skin. The appearance of Lyla Freeman in this world. “Huh?” Of course, it’s not a good color to hide in the dark. The man who was approaching tilted his head as if he had found me, who had suddenly appeared.

-Step, step.

The approaching man’s footsteps are getting faster little by little. Could it be that he couldn’t see me properly? Or is it because he didn’t feel anything strange about the sudden appearance? I don’t know which one it is, but after a while, The man arrives in front of me, standing silently, and tilts his head. “Huh?” I know. Surely, it’s strange. It would be strange for a woman to be standing naked in the corner of an alley in the middle of the night. Wouldn’t I look more like a ghost than a person? In my heart, I wanted him to think of me that way and be reluctant, but it seems that it was too much to ask for such insight from the thugs in the back alley. “…You were hiding in a place like this.” The man who came up to me mutters with a lustful smile. /

-Snap.

Before I could say anything, my wrist is grabbed. “Ugh…” I could have resisted if I wanted to, but for some reason I couldn’t. Is it because Aiden wants it? More than that, the bigger reason is that I don’t know what to do. Should I accept it, or should I reject it? While I was thinking about that, the men’s voices echoed in the alley. “Oh, that’s her!” “…What? It was real?”

-Whack.

Pulled by a rough force, I am dragged away in an instant. With one wrist grabbed, I am dragged away and surrounded by menacing men. Surrounded by the pungent smell of alcohol and the bitter smell of tobacco, the men, whose names I don’t even know, scan my naked body with blatant eyes. “Damn, she looks so fuckable.” “…Why is she naked?” “I don’t know. Maybe she was done in by that scholar?” “I guess so, look at this bitch. She’s dripping wet down there?” “Tsk, she’s a bitch who knows the taste of men.” The men look at me, spewing vulgar curses. Maybe in this short moment, I’ve already been violated several times in their minds. And what will happen in the future will not be much different from their vulgar imagination. “….” It’s familiar. I’ve experienced it several times and I quite like the situation myself. These people, who only see women as holes for pleasure, only think about spewing out all their desires. I, who have been gaining power through men’s essence, have no reason to dislike their coercive actions. In a way, it’s no different from enjoying masochistic pleasure, but there’s a slightly different feeling hidden behind it. I enjoy deception. The gang rape that the men direct at me seems to be helplessly suffering on the surface, but in reality, their actions ultimately help me. I enjoyed the gap as much as the masochistic pleasure. But, it’s different now. The reason why I, after the rebirth, am embraced by men is not to gain essence, but to gain my own pleasure. …Then, would it be fun to be embraced by them here? The answer I came to was no. //

-Tap.

I naturally knock away the man’s hand that is reaching between my legs. “…Huh?” The man with the bearded face makes a puzzled expression as if he didn’t expect this. Did he think that I would gladly accept his hand? Of course, that thought is true for me, but most women in the world don’t. While feeling pathetic that the man in front of me can make such a confident expression, I mutter quietly. “…I don’t want to do it after all.” That wasn’t a word to the men. It’s a word to Aiden, who is hiding in the shadows and watching me. “What the hell are you talking about?” “Pfft. Boss, I think this bitch is acting coy.” “Kuhahat, this slut doesn’t seem to understand the situation…” There’s no need to listen anymore. Because it’s not particularly fun right now.

-Crack.

Without any warning, I reach out my fist and hit the man’s solar plexus, who is smiling cruelly. My fist, which looks even pathetic compared to his wide chest, is deeply embedded in the man’s chest. Maybe it’s because I failed to control my strength a little. I feel a sensation as if something is broken from the end of my fist. “Cough!?” The man who was hit by the fist staggers and falls. After convulsing a few times, he soon loses consciousness and faints. “What…?” Surprised by the sudden situation, the other men mutter with stupid questions. Their bewildered expressions are not the faces of those who are good at fighting. I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol or if they’re just like that. Can they survive long in this world like this? After worrying about unnecessary things for a while, I immediately kick the others. Crack, thump. The light force-filled kick cleanly hits the chin of the man who is one head taller than me. And with the remaining strength, I even kick the side of the small man who was standing blankly next to me. “This crazy bitch-” As if he finally understood the situation, one of the remaining two men distorts his face.

-Swish.

He pulls out a dagger tied to his waist and glares at me. But the response is too late. Moreover, he didn’t even show any intention of widening the gap. He is still within my range, and he is immediately hit in the jaw and faints.

-Thwack.

“Ugh…” When I cleanly hit the bearded man’s jaw, his figure collapses as if it were crumbling. Now there was only one left. “Ugh…” The only remaining man seemed to have grasped the situation and was slowly backing away, but there is no reason to let him go now. Without hesitation, I reach out my arm and grab the man’s neck. “Cough!?” He was a man who was one head taller than me, but in the face of overwhelming power, physique is useless. When I put strength into my grip and twist the man’s neck, his face turns purple.

-Thud, thud.

The man twists his body as if struggling and kicks me. The kicks close to struggling are embedded several times in the abdomen, thighs, and – whether it’s a coincidence or not – between the legs. However, the man’s struggles were of no use to me, who was using internal energy to display the mystery of a thousand-pound weight. “….” “Ugh, ah….” When I quietly strangled his neck without even moving, the man soon stops resisting. He’s not dead, but it will be difficult for him to wake up for a while. Only then do I release the strength of my grip and throw the fainted man to the ground.

-Clang.

The bottle of alcohol he was holding breaks, and the whiskey that was in it flows out. The dark liquid flows out and wets the place where the men have fallen. “….” Leaving that scene behind, I turn my head towards the direction where Aiden is. “….” Before I knew it, he had released his stealth and revealed his appearance. Even though I lightly disobeyed his words, Aiden doesn’t make a particularly surprised expression. “Too bad. It looked like it would be a pretty good picture.” He just mutters quietly, looking at the fallen men. I nod my head, looking at Aiden, who is muttering calmly. “I know, right.” Then, he makes a dumbfounded expression. “…You knocked them down?” That’s right. It was Aiden who ordered it, and it was me who refused. And to his words, I shake my head and retort. “Because you didn’t look happy.” “….” The reason why I didn’t want to be embraced by them is simple. It’s because Aiden didn’t order me for his own pleasure. He didn’t say it, but somehow I felt that way. A feeling that he was trying to overlay Emily on my figure being violated by the men. I didn’t want to agree with Aiden’s self-destructive choice. “If I had been gang-raped by these people, would you have been happy?” “….” “If you had sold me for your own pleasure, I would have gladly complied. I’m willing to be your cheap toy as much as you want. But if you’re using me as a tool to hurt yourself, I’ll refuse.” “….” Aiden doesn’t answer. He just looks at me with a quiet gaze. I couldn’t help but feel a little prickled inside at that calm gaze. …Maybe I’m just assuming things? In fact, it’s embarrassing to act like I can read other people’s minds. No matter how I felt about Aiden’s actions, it was another matter to put it into words. “…If I’m overthinking, I’m sorry.” Looking at Aiden, who doesn’t answer, I say with a slightly anxious heart. But fortunately, my thoughts were not just assumptions. “No, you don’t have to apologize. You were right.” Should I say it’s unfortunate, or should I say it’s fortunate? Aiden puts on a bitter smile on his expressionless face and continues. “….I’m sorry.” “What are you sorry for?” When I unconsciously ask back, he soon closes his mouth. It feels like he’s making a somewhat nervous face, but that’s not a delusion, right? I feel like I know that expression for some reason, so I immediately continue with a playful smile.

“I’m just asking, so you don’t have to be so tense.” “Damn it, you really scared me.” “But now that I think about it, you have a reason to be scared. You were trying to turn me into a mess like in an erotic manga.” “….” Aiden then makes a dumbfounded expression. Was my expression strange? But no matter how I express it, it’s my heart. I ignore Aiden’s reaction and look around. “….” The fallen men were still twitching, seemingly unconscious. They looked like they had fainted at first glance, but it wouldn’t last long. I picked up my clothes lying in the corner of the alley and said quietly. “We should move.” I felt a little, though not much, like the mood had been spoiled. Of course, I’m the type to get fired up easily, so if Aiden grabbed my hair and told me to shut up and suck his dick, I’d get fired up again, but he’s not the type to do that. “…Okay.” And he didn’t seem to be in the mood for that right now.
