“Become a villain.” “Become our comrade.”

13th’s proposal. Club recalled its meaning once more in her mind.

But she didn’t need to think for long. The answer was already there. No matter what 13th said, she wouldn’t waver.

“So, Club, what do you think? In my opinion, I’m sure you’d do well even as a villain. In fact, you’d probably enjoy yourself much more than you do now.”

13th spoke. At 13th’s words, Club, who had been momentarily looking down at the glass of liquor below, raised her gaze again.

Her stubborn eyes, somehow reminiscent of a cat’s, glared at 13th as if to pierce him.

“I refuse.”

She stated firmly. She refused 13th’s proposal.

“…I think I misheard? Did I hear that right?”

“You didn’t mishear. I said I refuse, you deaf villain. Idiot. Trash. Vermin.”

Club, seizing the opportunity as if to say ‘now’s my chance,’ hurled insults freely.

13th, who had just been insulted, glared at Club with a rotten expression.

“…I clearly said you could answer slowly. You could take about a month for a grace period and then decide.”

“In the end, don’t I have to answer immediately about serving you for that month? It sounds like you’re forcing an immediate answer anyway.”

“If you need time to think, I can give you that much time. Three days? No, about a week? That should be enough time to consider your answer, right?”

“Either way, I don’t need it. Whether I answer tomorrow, a month from now, or right now, my answer will be the same.”

Club spoke confidently, with an unwavering demeanor.

“I am a hero. I would rather die than become a villain. It doesn’t matter how grand, great, or sympathetic your ideals are.”

She had no intention of betraying her comrades. Even though she was being manipulated, there was Senior Spade, and other Senior-nims and comrades, and even the Captain-nim.

She wished to be a hero of justice. Rather than achieving her desires and asserting rights as a villain, she wanted to stand on the side of protecting people and following rules, bearing the name of justice.

And beyond that. More than anything.

“As a hero! I will reach S-rank faster than anyone else among my peers! I will accumulate achievements and rise to the position I desire!”

“Once I set a goal, I don’t give up halfway! No matter what happens, that will not happen!”

“Because that is the path my guiding Constellation-nim desires!”

Club spoke at length.

The Constellation’s guidance. The Constellation’s will.

Awakened individuals have the direction of their lives set by their respective constellations, which contact them and grant them power.

That direction cannot be altered by human will, by individual will.

It is not the kind of thing that can be suppressed by ethics or morals.

Some say that all awakened individuals are—’lunatics.’

All awakened individuals are dominated throughout their lives by what is called a Complex, a trial, stubbornness, and impulse bestowed by their constellation.

Even if it is a negative Complex, they have no choice but to follow it.

For example, even if it is a Complex of violence, fraud, gambling, or murder… they still cannot resist.

That is why awakened individuals are not properly accepted in modern society.

That is why awakened individuals in this country are not guaranteed human rights.

They are concluded to be no different from beasts, needing no rules because they cannot control themselves.

And just as Club claims now, ‘achieving a goal once set to the very end’ must be her Complex.

It could be said to be a very fitting Complex for her, a Sagittarius (archer) who must always hit her target, and who receives the blessing of the Sagittarius constellation in the heavens above.

“…Right. It seems useless to say anything more.”

13th said with a sigh. He refilled his glass with liquor. By the time the glass was about half full, the bottle was empty.

Without adding more ice, he gulped down the liquor in the glass in one go. Even though it was quite a strong type of alcohol, he didn’t care.

“Well, fine. Even if you regret it later, I won’t listen. If you have any intention of changing your mind, this is your last chance.”

“That will not happen. Regretting not becoming a villain! That will not happen to me! Someday, I will surely, surely find freedom and tear out your throat!”

And, Club continued.

“In the first place, if I betray the hero side, I’ll just be beaten to death by Captain Rahye afterwards. You, you can’t possibly not know how terrifying our Captain-nim is, can you?”

Club spoke with a triumphant attitude.

13th also knew well about Rahye, the captain of the 7th unit. In the first place, any villain active in S City couldn’t possibly not know about her.

She was a fearsome woman, plastered with epithets like ‘Ice Witch,’ ‘Villain’s End,’ and ‘Massacre.’

Club’s unhesitating refusal of 13th’s proposal must have been partly due to her certainty that he would be completely crushed by Captain Rahye’s hand later on.

In any case, there was no point in talking any further. Having decided that, 13th put down his glass and casually walked back to the other side of the counter table.

He then took something out from there and came back.

What he took out this time from the same place where he had taken out the blanket he gave Club earlier was a bright red collar, such as one might use for a pet.

It was even attached to a thin chain leash.

13th fastened the collar around Club’s slender neck. And he snatched away the blanket she had wrapped around her body.

Club couldn’t resist. This was because the instruction he had given, ‘act freely,’ did not include the freedom to resist 13th.

Club was instantly stripped of her blanket, left naked, and collared.

Next, 13th instructed Club to get down from the chair and kneel.

As expected, Club obeyed his command docilely, without resisting.

“Ugh…! 13th…!”

“Since it’s come to this, there’s no helping it. I did expect a little, but honestly, this way is more comfortable for me. It reduces troublesome matters. And there’s also the grudge from Dorothy and the Chief of Staff.”

The reason he had specifically tried to win Club over was because that was the boss’s intention.

13th had prioritized the boss’s wish over Dorothy’s and the Chief of Staff’s grudges and anger.

But Club had kicked away the boss’s recognition, that generous invitation.

If that was the case, 13th had no more reason to be lenient. All that remained was to do as he pleased.

“Alright, Club. From now on, you will be the prisoner and slave of our organization Abyss and mine. You’ll become an obedient pet, just like at the department store, a meat doll that follows our instructions, a loyal soldier, and also a test subject for various brainwashing experiments.”

“And most importantly, you’ll be my personal sex toy.”

“I won’t feel guilty. After all, you were the one who kicked away our consideration.”

“And most importantly, because I’m a villain.”

A villain is an evil person. A villain is a villain, so it’s fine to commit any evil act. That’s what a villain is. That’s the raison d’être of a villain.

There are no rules, no need to consider recognition, consideration, ethics, or morals. Because they are villains.

“So, I look forward to working with you, Club. …Let’s live happily and joyfully together for a long, long time from now on.”

At 13th’s words, filled with an utterly gloomy atmosphere and an undeniable, strange pressure, Club could only look up at him with resentful eyes.

The bright red leather collar around her neck exerted an undeniable presence….

***

Thus, Hero Club, having been sentenced to become a villain’s captive slave, was immediately humiliated by 13th on the spot.

13th embraced the powerless Club from behind, who couldn’t resist no matter what, and caressed her body wherever his hands could reach.

The place where 13th’s hands now touched was Club’s modest breasts.

He kneaded and caressed her pitiful breasts, which, despite their pitiable state, surprisingly felt somewhat soft and full when touched, like budding flowers.

He rubbed upwards from the base of her breasts to their peaks, then stroked her areolas and rubbed and massaged the erect nipples at their centers.

13th’s touch didn’t feel rough at all; rather, it was soft and delicate, conveying gentleness.

But for some reason, Club’s body was reacting absurdly sensitively to such stimulation.

Specifically, every time 13th fondled her breasts, she felt as if her nerves were being directly touched, and shivers wouldn’t stop.

She had felt that way when her nipples were teased by the Chief of Staff a little while ago, but now, being subjected to 13th’s thick, large, and mature hands, it felt more than double… no, more than quadruple as pleasurable.

It was strange, truly strange.

“Ugh… stop… please stop… stop it!”

“Why would I grant that request, hero? Club has rejected our proposal and remains an enemy.”

“K-ugh…! FUCK… You petty perverted bastard…!”

Club cursed, but her words of insult lacked much strength.

Just having her nipples gently kneaded was enough to drain the strength from her body.

To be honest, Club couldn’t relax at all, fearing that if her concentration wavered even slightly, she might orgasm just from her nipples.

“Now, now, this 13th-nim is going to thoroughly fondle Hero-nim’s small breasts and lovely nipples. So, Club, be more grateful and pleased every time I touch you. Understood?”

Who would be grateful? Who would be pleased?

Club thought so inwardly, but her body, as if it had taken 13th’s words as a ‘command’… began to act on its own according to his words.

That is, as he touched her nipples, a surge of pleasure greater than ever before suddenly rose within her, and a feeling of gratitude welled up.

She didn’t want to. She didn’t want such a thing!

Unbelievable! To be pleased, to be grateful by the hands of a man like this! Such a thing…!

“Ah, ah, ahh, ah…!”

Club, still held from behind by 13th, had her nipples frantically squeezed, crushed, caressed, and rubbed by him.

Then, pushed by the pleasure that washed over her along with confusion, she reached climax from that alone.

Not just her nipples, but the inside of her lower abdomen, her female part, vibrated with a jolt, delivering a light but clear sensation of climax within her.

It was the first time she had climaxed from just her nipples…
