Cornerstone of Disaster

<Side : ALL>

A fallen Princess, a troubled physician, a forbidden creation, a Fox and a Rabbit. Even the Spirit of Smoke, who has yet to take the stage.

Beneath the shadows of foolish actors who may not even realize they are on stage, performing under a pre-written script, there was already a monstrous fiend singing on stage.

A destiny of disposal determined by the will of God.

A tiny life that does not belong in the world and deserves to be shattered.

Her name, born with a faint soul, is “Christopher Faces.”

A pitiful girl whose fate of being shattered was patched up by the Fox Deity’s choice.

A girl who never received peace or affection from her family. A girl born only to be unhappy never had a day without injury since she was born into the world after cutting the umbilical cord.

Scars and bruises never healed, and without proper education, she was destined to be used as a Doll for her parents to vent their emotions on and then die.

Then, after receiving a strong blow to the head and becoming motionless, her parents, who no longer even remembered her, threw the girl onto a mountain of hot sand.

But, as if by a bizarre twist of fate, the girl survived the fierce desert day and opened her eyes.

Scorching sun above, a swamp of boiling sand below. What allowed her to sustain her life, which was like a Lantern in the wind, was the silk covering the girl’s body.

The girl opened her eyes in the arms of fine silk that she would never have the chance to touch in her life.

The girl, who caught the eye of the Fox Deity by a trivial coincidence, has since been cared for by the Divine Beast.

But the girl still does not know the Fox Deity’s true intentions.

Was it because of the Fox Deity’s compassion, not wanting to burden a girl who was too young to form values and a personality with harsh Trials?

Was it because of the Fox Deity’s whim, wanting to twist the fate of a girl who would die without even living as an ordinary villager, let alone a hero?

Or was it… simply because of the Fox Deity’s scheme to raise a pawn to be used as a Discarded piece?

However, whatever the Fox Deity is hiding, the girl, who has begun a new life as a Shrine Maiden serving the Divine Beast, offers infinite gratitude and loyalty to the Fox Deity.

The desert of the Empire, which is burdensome even for well-trained warriors and Beast-person with innate physiques.

During the day, heat like a heated iron jumps into the field of skin, like rabbits running around, and at night, intense cold that cuts the flesh shakes the whole body—a powerful nature.

It was an undeniable fact that the Fox Deity allowed them to fully endure the deformed climate called the ‘Trial of Rabbit and Fox’ by the Imperials and protected their education.

“Divine Beast…”

Unstained purity that does not even recognize the fact that she was abandoned.

A girl who has deviated from the end of her fragile fate.

But when was it?

The heinousness that had been sprouting in the girl’s heart since some time ago.

The girl, who is under the protection of the Divine Beast, on the day the Empire collapsed.

Guilt arose that she had caused her first friend to fall…

Amidst the greedy people who approached her with false smiles and the wicked groups who envied and cursed her…

The girl once again comes into contact with a Miracle.

In an instant, the girl learns the truth of the world, the Divine Beast’s true intentions, and the filth held by the ugly existence called humans.

And even the only way to correct the tainted world.

That’s how the girl smiled brightly for the first time in her life.

Because she knew the joy of meticulously planning and offering the Empire to her true master, for her new master.

From now on, the girl will correct the mistakes she made when she was human and act without hesitation to serve her new master with her friends.

She will burn her body to scatter the Empire with Depravity and lewdness, pleasure and hope, with her own body.

And… no one will know this fact.

Not even the Divine Beast, who is considered omnipotent, nor the Elemental with overwhelming power, nor the unexpected visitors.

Only the Shrine Maiden of the Goddess, who opens her eyes every time twilight comes, under the shadow of the innocent Shrine Maiden of the Divine Beast, knows.

The Shrine Maiden, who will become the cornerstone of Calamity, becomes a Prophet who recreates the Ten Plagues that once swept through the Empire.

“No one will be able to stop it.

Calamity has already been declared, and there is no way to avoid it.

Now that the Apostle of the Goddess has entered, there is no turning back,”

says the Shrine Maiden of Corruption.

『Martyr’s Moon – Day 11 (Morning)』

【Day 1 of the Empire’s Invasion】

“Haa…”

I’m yawning deeply and fidgeting my feet on the bed.

“Did I really do well…”

I’m in my room, but outside, I can hear the sounds of people moving busily despite it being early in the morning.

Shouting, tired voices, even deep sighs.

The only sounds I hear are various but depressing…

It was all because of the Divine Revelation I received from the Divine Beast late at night.

To quickly reflect that Divine Revelation in the Empire, many people have been waking up and working since dawn.

“Beware of Fire and Lightning, Wind and Iron.”

I repeat a small part of the Divine Revelation that the Divine Beast whispered to me.

As someone who still lacks learning, I can only convey the Divine Revelation as I heard it to the Sultan.

The Divine Beast once told me that interpreting and acting on the Divine Revelation is entirely up to the Sultan.

“Meticulously guard the boundaries of the Jericho Fortress…”

And one more thing. A Divine Revelation to meticulously guard Jericho, the Jericho Fortress that the Empire boasts of.

From what I heard before, the Empire’s Jericho Fortress has been enchanted with Magic from a lo~~~ng time ago, so ordinary attacks won’t even scratch it, and it deflects attacks and Magic flying from afar.

But the Jericho Fortress I know is… only a fairy tale that collapses futilely with the sound of trumpets.

While I was thinking hard with my lacking brain about why the Divine Beast suddenly gave me this Divine Revelation, I heard a knock on the door.

“Shrine Maiden. May I come in to clean?”

It was the voice of the maid who comes to clean my room once a day.

I was secretly hoping that Princess Materi or Arc would come, but both of them seem to be working quite busily because of this Divine Revelation, so they probably don’t have time to come and see me…

“Y-yes… you can come in.”

Suppressing my disappointed feelings, I spoke to the maid outside.

–Squeak…

“Shrine Maiden. Excuse me.”

The maid’s face also had deep fatigue on it.

Her voice was weak, her skin was dry, and her hair had lost its shine… how hard must she have been working…

“A-are you okay? You don’t look so good…”

“I’m fine. Shrine Maiden. I’ll just quickly clean the room as usual and leave.”

Even though I was worried and tried to get up and approach the maid, she stopped me and made me sit on the bed and started cleaning.

“Ah, ugh… I could at least organize the books…”

“No. There’s no need for the Shrine Maiden to do such labor. The Shrine Maiden has the important task of listening to and conveying the Divine Beast’s Divine Revelation.”

With a slight smile at my words, the maid diligently moved around to clean the room.

But is it just my imagination that the smile somehow… looks like a forced smile to me…

No. It’s probably not my imagination. Because there have only been two people who have shown me a genuine smile so far.

Princess Materi and Arc… I know they’re both very busy, but I want to see them today even if I have to be stubborn…

“Um… Maid? If you’re done cleaning, could you sit on that chair for a moment?”

“Yes…? But I don’t have time…”

“It’s okay. I can just say I was being stubborn and made you late. It’s just a simple thing… please?”

When I’m feeling this depressed, on days when I don’t feel like reading fairy tales to anyone else, I have another hobby that I do.

I stopped the maid who was trying to finish cleaning quickly and leave and asked her to sit in the chair.

The maid looked reluctant, but she sighed and sat in the chair and looked at me.

“I-I’m sorry. I’ll finish quickly!”

“No. There’s no need for the Shrine Maiden to be sorry…”

I brought the easel and drawing paper that were placed in one corner of the room.

“Are you… drawing a portrait? Shrine Maiden?”

“Yes, yes! I’ll draw you beautifully!”

Drawing, which I started after receiving advice from the Sultan to build up simple culture after being taken in by the Sultan.

I didn’t have a talent for drawing objects, but it seems I happened to have a talent for drawing people.

I really like reading fairy tales, but drawing portraits like this also clears my mind as much as fairy tales do.

I also really like taking the drawings I’ve drawn to Arc and showing them off. It’s… still too embarrassing to show them to Princess Materi though.

–Swish… scratch, scribble, swish…

I was so focused on drawing that the only sounds in the room were my breathing and the sounds of my brush and pencil.

For some reason… I feel like I fall into a daze every time I draw a portrait. My chest gets hot, and my body heats up…

Arc calls this a state of ecstasy… I don’t really know what that means, but anyway, it seems like it’s a good thing!

After several tens of minutes, I finished painting the colors in the eyes and completed the portrait.

I happily spoke to the maid, who was the subject of the portrait…

“I’m done! Maid. Could you take a look…”

“Well, if you’re done, I’ll be going now. I still have more work to do.”

The maid coldly got up from her seat and quickly left the room.

Without even glancing at my drawing, indifferently…

–Squeak… Thud…

“I really worked hard on it…”

Leaving behind the sound of the door closing with a thud, I was left alone in the room again.

Just as I was looking at the portrait I had worked so hard on with a sense of futility… that’s when it happened.

When I saw that a part of the portrait was painted with a dark purple paint……

I had a slight headache for a moment……

[Ah-ha♥♥]

The purple paint painted on the portrait.

This is a paint made from my Magic of Corruption and vaginal fluid♥

An implication that was unconsciously engraved in my original self, to paint the picture with purple paint.

The effect of that implication is, that I appear from outside the shadows♥

I’ve never been so happy to see the morning sun… this must also be thanks to the Goddess♥

I’m tired of waking up and masturbating and falling asleep every night. It was also humiliating to have to throw away the semen I had squeezed out without being able to give it to others♥

But… what does it mean that I can come out in broad daylight like this today…♥

[It seems that the other sisters have successfully entered the Empire♥ I can already feel the Goddess’s power gradually starting to be felt in the Empire♥]

Reacting to the Goddess’s power, even I, who had to hide, have opened my eyes♥

Where else could there be such a joyful thing? It’s only a matter of time before the Empire becomes the Goddess’s♥

I want to contact my sisters as soon as possible and capture the Empire, but…

With such a weak force, I won’t have much time to be active.

Unfortunately, I have no choice but to rely on my sisters for now…

But that doesn’t mean I can just sit back and watch♥

[That damn bitch from earlier… She took advantage of the fact that the Sultan was suffering from paranoia because of the clumsy Divine Revelation and treated me curtly. She knew very well that all the watchers were not able to focus on me because of the Sultan’s orders♥]

That slut… If I had said something normally, she would have been a Cunt who couldn’t even make a peep and only made a false smile…

Humans are a foolish Species who don’t know their place and try to climb up. They must be exterminated… no, purified as soon as possible♥

[But you’re lucky. You♥ Just by me capturing your appearance in this portrait… a Curse to become a Slave Succubus has been planted♥]

When I regain my true form and take the first step in bringing Calamity to the Empire…

[You, along with many other foolish humans, will become my Slaves and spread Calamity together♥]

Ah… It’s a pity that I don’t even have time to Ejaculation♥

So I’m asking you. Sisters♥ Please stain the Empire from the inside with your smelly semen and sticky vaginal fluid♥

[If you do… I will become the cornerstone of Calamity and offer the Empire to the Goddess♥ As a proud Apostle of the Goddess……]

“Hot……?!”

What, what was that… I feel like I had an incredible dream for a moment…

“Ah, that’s right. The drawing…… Huh?”

I definitely had a slight headache after seeing the purple mark on the portrait… but strangely, the portrait was clean without a single mark.

“W-was it just my imagination?”

Even so, I feel like there’s a lingering feeling of unease in one corner of my heart…

I don’t really know what caused it…

–Tap……

“Huh…? What’s this…”

Then something lightly touched my hand.

One thin fairy tale book and another relatively thick fairy tale book.

The thin one was labeled ‘Samson’. It was a fairy tale book about the journey of Samson, a warrior with long blonde hair and strong muscles.

The thick one had a book cover labeled ‘Ten Plagues’. This was definitely… the story of a God sending people to a city that had committed sins and calling down ten Plagues.

Personally, it was a fairy tale that I didn’t find very interesting, but these were all fairy tales that Arc had shown me for the first time.

“Come to think of it… I haven’t read fairy tales with Arc recently. I talked to Princess Materi yesterday though…”

I held the two fairy tale books to my chest and made a decision.

“Um… Let’s go see Arc. If he’s not busy, let’s ask him to read fairy tales together! If he’s busy……”

Ugh… I don’t want to think about it, but I’ll have to come back here…

“But let’s think positively…! I’m sure Arc will be happy too!”

With that, I took the fairy tale books, opened the door with energy, and ran out to Arc’s office!

Arc. I’m coming to see you! Let’s… read fairy tales together!
