*****

To conclude, Ranian was right. The day after the accommodation issue was resolved. Feeling more relaxed, I looked for work, but I couldn’t find a single thing I could do.

Most jobs are passed down to acquaintances. Each guild supplements the number of day laborers that anyone can do. Neither of them were structured in a way that I could intervene in.

If I had at least some connections, I would have been able to get the job, but the only person I can say I am close to in Turkan is Ranian. This is where I got stuck by only completing quests with the goal of clearing stage 1.

Of course, the efforts made so far are not in vain, so you can get back to normal if you hold out for just three weeks. Ranian seemed reluctant, but it wouldn’t be that difficult if he could just cover his daily living expenses with non-rank requests.

However, searching for non-rank requests has been postponed until tomorrow. The day the old alchemist told me to come back and prepare something. Because that was today.

“… Excuse me~.”

“Oh, you’re here. Preparations are complete. They will be using magic tools, so go inside first. Take off your clothes.”

The old man’s answer came from deep inside the workshop. The figure is obscured by the alchemy equipment, and only the shiny head appears to be moving around.

There was no reason to refuse, so I went first into the inner room where the altar was. The room was still bare except for the altar, but this time a few new appliances had been added to it.

“Wow… .”

A wooden board with handcuffs attached to a chain and a letter hanging from the ceiling. A sigh flowed out of me as I looked at the tools whose purpose was immediately obvious to anyone who saw them.

Of course, I know that this was not an object placed with strange intentions. Last time, I moved too much and the story was stopped in the middle. The solution of providing restraints to prevent movement is not strange at all.

But the visuals are a bit… . Having to endure being chained and violated by tentacles. Even though I know it’s not a dirty thing, I still feel uncomfortable.

There is no point in worrying about it anyway. Ignoring the chains as much as possible, I took off the rest of my clothes except the formal robe and folded them to one side. Since I didn’t have eyes to see, I had less hesitation this time.

How long did I wait like that? Immediately after the magic circle began to glow, the old man entered the room. It doesn’t matter because it’s the same as last time, but the problem is that besides the old man, two more men came in.

“ugh… ! Who are they?”

“Ah, these are my disciples whom I called as assistants in this matter. No, should I say, more accurately, a former student? They are quite independent now. Hey, what are you doing too? Without greeting the client.”

“Ah, hello… .”

“Thank you very much… .”

A skinny man wearing glasses and a simple-looking young man. The two people, who appeared to be in their early 30s and early 20s respectively, had the impression of being nerdy, to put it in a good way, or of a faint presence, to put it in a bad way.

Perhaps because of my personality, the two people muttered with red faces when they saw me wearing only a leotard. In the meantime, their eyes are scanning every inch of my body.

“I didn’t ask that! Why do others… ! The one I commissioned was you!”

“Mmm. But the curse on the wife and children is so complex. The period I told you about was based on the assumption of the help of these friends. If you don’t receive it, the deadline will be extended.”

“No, but… !”

It would be difficult to suddenly bring in a complete stranger and ask him to reveal my secret. Besides, how many times will I have to reveal embarrassing situations in the course of this year?

When I protested, thinking that this could not be tolerated, the old man nodded as if he had a point. Anyway, it was the old man who dragged the men in without saying a word. When it comes to fault, that side is clearly higher.

“What you say is correct. First, let’s cast a secrecy contract spell on those two. And if you’re embarrassed to be seen, how about this method? After sending those two out, I’m going to film your progress and show it to them.”

“Yes!?”

“This is beneficial to you because you cannot see it directly, and it is beneficial to me because I can use it for future research. Isn’t this a good method?”

Looking at the old man nodding his head, it seemed like he really thought it was a good idea for others. Of course, to me, there is nothing more terrible than this.

The contract magic of secrecy is in favor. Depending on your magic skills, you might be able to break it, but those two don’t seem to be that skilled.

But what is filming? Was there something like that in Yggdrasil? The question was questionable, but considering the old man’s words, it seemed like he was going to continue to show the filmed images to others.

He keeps showing an unspecified number of people seeing himself tied up and being raped by tentacles. In that case, it would be much better to just show it to two people.

“… No, I’ll just leave it like this.”

“Hmm. Is that so? I don’t mind that either. Well then, let’s get ready quickly.”

However, if the completion is too late, I will not be able to get back the experience points that were tied up in the dungeon. Considering the possibility of the video being leaked, this is probably the right answer.

While I was reflecting on my decision, two assistants came over and tied chains around my limbs. The arms were brought together and their position could be adjusted with chains at the top, and the legs were securely fastened to an L-shaped plate that reached below the thighs.

Of course, I can see everything from the front, sides, and back, so I feel even more embarrassed than when I’m lying still. There is nothing to say about the fact that the larger the survey area, the shorter the schedule. The two men are already staring at my body, not even listening to the old man.

… Can you do it properly? I started to feel a little anxious.

“Let’s get started quickly. If you have anything unusual, please report it right away.”

The second year began with a vague sense of anxiety. As the surrounding magic circle turned blue, mana flowed into the robe.

I was hoping it would be quiet this time. Unfortunately, when it sensed mana, the tentacle began to move slowly like a snake that had found its prey.

However, for some reason, the overall movement was rougher compared to last time. In particular, unlike before, where I only touched the area around the clit, I could feel the sensation of the tentacle all the way to the bottom of the vaginal opening or the perineum beyond.

“The coefficient appears to be a bit higher than before. Hmm. Have you been hit by any tentacles in the last two days?”

“ugh… , No, not really.”

” Ms. TS. I forgot to explain it last time because I wasn’t in a good condition, but the principle of alchemy is different from that of divine power. Holy power literally destroys the curse, but we analyze each and every element of the curse.”

How does a curse work? Does it have an impact? What is the source? It is said that the method of alchemy is to examine all these things in detail, uncover the structure of the curse itself, and then destroy it on its own.

Therefore, it is impossible to remove divine power if your skill level is lower than that of the curser, but in the case of alchemy, you can remove even a somewhat higher level curse if you put in the time and effort.

“But this curse is so complex that even I have never seen it before. For Haeju’s sake, I need to know at least one more phenomenon. So, I know it’s embarrassing, but please answer the questions honestly.”

“… If so.”

I can’t refuse if it’s explained so politely, and if I lie here in the first place, I’m the one who suffers the loss. If I delay understanding the curse, I will have to endure this shameful act for a longer time.

I felt persuasive in the serious attitude of the old man who had been forcefully scolding me, so I nodded and said I would answer the question faithfully.

“Then ask again. Have you been hit by tentacles in the past two days?”

“… yes. Suddenly, I ran wild inside my clothes, and the magic energy was absorbed.”

“When was that? Can you explain the surrounding situation?”

“ugh… , I mean, I was walking around on the streets while trying to get a job. It suddenly started moving.”

The moment I realized the movement of the tentacles, I was very confused. The place I was at at the time was in the middle of the street. It is a place where I have to count the eyes looking at me in dozens, let alone one or two.

If he had been an ordinary adult man, he would have been able to endure it by pretending that his condition was not good. However, TS’s body was so conspicuous that just by stopping for a moment, the number of curious looks increased significantly.

“I feel like I’ll get caught if I keep staying there… , I went into an alley where there would be as few people as possible.”

“Did you masturbate there?”

“What question are you asking!?”

“It’s an important issue. You can check the reaction when you yourself are sexually stimulated, right?”

“Kuh… ! I didn’t do it, there’s no way I would have done it in a place like that in the first place.”

Occasional tentacle attacks subside over time. So, I tried to hold out against the alley wall until the tentacles calmed down.

The choice was correct. Regardless of the location, the tentacle stimulated my clitoris without mercy. It was a long way from home, so if I had tried to endure it, I would have been in quite a disgrace.

Of course, just because it was an alley didn’t mean you could feel at ease. Just because there are no people right now, it wouldn’t be strange if someone passed by here at any time.

I put my finger in my mouth to keep the sound from spreading as much as possible, and sat down against the wall and quietly endured the pleasure.

“Wait a minute. Are you sitting? It will stand out, but why?”

“Ugh, ugh… . It’s hard to keep standing because your legs become weak.”

“Is that because tentacles and curses have the effect of weakening muscle strength?”

“… Probably not. Probably.”

“Then why did my legs lose strength?”

“ugh… ! I felt it because of the tentacles, is that okay!?”

The two assistants who had been watching quietly began to ask more and more questions, as if encouraged by their teacher’s attitude.

A topic I couldn’t even make eye contact with just a little while ago. Once he confirmed that I was answering questions calmly, he became energized and started asking more and more strange questions.

Normally, such sexual harassers would be kicked out with one punch, but now there is a reason to do so. In front of men who were smirking and persistently asking me whether I felt it or not, I answered while suppressing my humiliation and shame.

“Is there a difference in the movement of the tentacles then and now? If so, in what way?”

“… there is. At the time, it felt like I was rubbing it as if I was twisting it from left and right, but now I’m just holding it down――Huh♡!?”

Meanwhile, the tentacle was still rubbing the erogenous zone below. I had managed to hold it in well until now, but as if by surprise, my clit was sucked, and I ended up moaning.

“… I’m pressing it hard or sucking on the clit.”

“I see. You seem to be in a very good mood.”

“K… !”

I glared at the assistant who was inadvertently sarcastic, but I immediately realized my mistake. She’s already a slender girl, but now she’s tied up in chains and being raped by tentacles, barely holding back her moans. What kind of threat would a kid like that pose?

Sure enough, the man wearing glasses only smiled more sinisterly. In this situation, no matter how you react, the other person gets excited. So, it was best to answer as calmly as possible and remove interest.

“Still, if it was a deserted alley, a dangerous gang could have passed by. So what did you plan to do if people found you?”

“How do you do it? . That’s right, fight… .”

“Hmm. But is it possible to resist when it is difficult to even stand properly? Isn’t the probability of being committed as is much higher?”

“ugh♡ Not necessarily… !”

But even if you keep your mouth shut, it’s hard to hold back your moans. If you answer a question like this, even if you don’t like it, the sound will leak out.

Plus, to answer a question, you have to think about it first. Even now, as soon as I was asked a question by a man, I automatically remembered the situation where I was caught by bullies.

If you strengthen your body, you will never lose, but if you use mana, the tentacles will respond. Depending on the timing, you might even end up leaving in the middle of the battle.

If even one of the bullies knows my face, it will only be a matter of time before the disgusting behavior spreads. Then, there will definitely be people who figure out that I suffered something in the succubus dungeon, and if they are blatantly targeting me──

“Mo, I don’t know… !”

“Hmm. In other words, you were trying to deal with the tentacle attack first. Okay.”

I shake my head and shake off the terrible thoughts that follow one after another. Even though I knew that this reaction made men happy, I couldn’t overcome the shame in the end.

If that happens, just answering will be overwhelming and you won’t have time to think about other things. The resources to determine whether this question is sexual harassment or not, and whether it is necessary or not, continue to dwindle.

The result of struggling not to react in any way. At some point, I stopped thinking and was answering questions reflexively.

“Did you finally climax? How did you get away from the corner of the alley?”

“I didn’t! Because I just felt it… !”

“Hmm. Then how much love juice came out?”

“Love juice… . Well, the underwear… . As far as getting it wet… .”

“Masturbation or tentacles, which feels better?”

“That… ♡”

“──This girl is amazing!”

Wow! The sound of hitting my back poured cold water into my dazed mind. Shocked, I saw a man wearing glasses sitting in front of me, groaning, and an old man hitting his back with his palm.

“Hey guy, what was that question you just asked! It has nothing to do with the curse!”

“Ack! Sorry, sorry Master!”

“The apology should be given to the client, not to me! … I’m so sorry about this, lady. It looks like this guy also made a mistake in his prime. I also apologize. What are you doing! Without apologizing quickly!”

“Hi! I’m sorry… !”

“Oh, no. are you okay… . Yes♡”

It seems that the question just now had nothing to do with Haeju. The old man was as angry as the last time we saw him, and the disciple had his head down while being hit on the back.

I felt a little cold sweat coming out of my face at that sight. Just now, I never thought that question was sexual harassment. No, it would be more accurate to say that I didn’t even try to think about whether it was sexual harassment.

It’s already a sexual curse, so there are a lot of lewd things in the process. In particular, those two assistants seem to have ulterior motives just by looking at them, so if I don’t come to my senses, I might end up in something unrelated to Haeju.

… Still, the old man seems to be making the right decision.

“I think this is enough about what happened yesterday. Let’s move on to the next step.”

“Next, this… ?”

“Hmm. Just like last time, I’m observing your etiquette. But in a more serious way.”

It seemed like I was doing the same thing I did last time. The current question and answer was like additional unscheduled information.

The connotation of the word ‘full-fledged’ is a bit unsettling. Still, if you are an old person, I think they will keep an eye on you to see if you are crossing the line, and if the situation arises, there are ways to break the handcuffs and impose direct sanctions.

Instead of answering, I nodded quietly and accepted to move on to the next step.
