……………………………

……………

……

Ugh…um…

‘Huh…me….’

My head is throbbing and dizzy.

My consciousness, still half-asleep, seems to be pushing me to fall back asleep.

But unfortunately, instead of falling back asleep, my consciousness naturally and gradually awakens.

Like an octopus swimming in the deep sea being forcibly dragged onto land.

Unable to resist, unable to rebel.

Just forcibly dragged up….

Snap!

Ugh…

Light shines through my eyelids, forcing me to squint.

I try to avoid the light, but it follows my face.

Annoyed by it, I barely manage to open my eyes a slit.

Then I see a round LED desk lamp and the face of No. 13 holding the lamp.

“Did you sleep well, Dorothy?”

“…Turn that off.”

No. 13 regretfully turns off the lamp, but Dorothy is already awake enough that she can no longer fall asleep.

Swallowing her disappointment at being woken up, she looks around.

She confirms that she is in her lab, restrained by some kind of machinery….

“Get up, Dorothy. There’s someone you need to meet.”

***

Wearing only the white coat she used for experiments on her naked body, she was dragged out of the lab.

Her hands were handcuffed behind her back.

She scoffed, wondering if this was really necessary since she was too weak to resist without a weapon anyway.

Maybe she would have given up even if she had a weapon, and she had no will to resist anymore in the first place.

Like a criminal, or rather, in a manner befitting her crime, Dorothy trudged along.

No. 13 didn’t say anything.

Dorothy was grateful for the silence, as she didn’t know what to say anyway.

‘Is Lazi…is my sister Doraji okay?’

‘How long have I been asleep…my legs are wobbly…besides, something feels off….’

In the silence, Dorothy examined her condition and recalled the current situation.

How did this happen?

What was the process?

At first, the memory was foggy and unclear, but as she quietly walked along as if repenting, everything began to come back to her without fail….

I see, that’s right.

My sister and I…we were defeated….

The initial sin of turning her sister into an Awakened one and reviving her without permission.

To atone for that sin, she betrayed the organization, following her sister’s wishes.

She betrayed No. 13, the Chief of Staff, and the Boss.

Everything turned out more violently than she had imagined, and she almost killed everyone.

She couldn’t stop her sister, she troubled precious people, and she messed up many things….

‘I’m a sinner.’

‘Everywhere I look, there’s nothing but sin.’

A regretful life.

A life filled only with sin.

Starting with sin, ending with sin.

Just as she recalled her sins and felt the weight of them on her head and shoulders,

No. 13, who was leading her, stopped in front of a door.

Violet’s, the Boss’s office.

No. 13 knocked lightly on the door, and with a reply, immediately opened it.

“You’ve come, I’ve been waiting.”

“……Boss.”

Violet looked the same as always.

Not the appearance of losing her composure due to her sister’s scheme, nor the appearance of No. 13’s slave, but just the calm and intelligent appearance that she had seen for the past few years.

Violet was sitting in front of her heavy desk, and Dorothy was led by No. 13 and stood in the center of the office.

Like a criminal waiting for a verdict, she waited only for Violet’s words.

Violet told her to wait a moment, lightly organized and cleared the things on her desk, and then stood up.

Violet walked around the desk and stood in front of Dorothy.

“So, Dorothy. How are you feeling now?”

“……I have nothing to say.”

“How does it feel to screw over me, No. 13, and the Chief of Staff?”

“…I can only apologize.”

Dorothy tried her best to meet Violet’s gaze, but her eyes kept falling down.

She looked pathetically devoid of confidence.

Dorothy, who was already short, was even more hunched over, making her seem even smaller than usual, as if Violet was bullying her.

No, she was actually bullying her.

Violet continued to press Dorothy.

The circumstances that led her to do this, her sister’s affairs, and other small and merciless questions that poked at Dorothy’s sore spots followed.

Dorothy hesitated, but answered Violet’s questions with sincerity.

However, perhaps because her head was not yet in its proper state, her tongue twisted in the middle, and when giving long answers, she would become incoherent before she knew it.

Thus, what seemed short from an objective point of view, but felt like a thousand years to Dorothy personally, the time of questioning ended.

Violet was silent, and Doraji waited for the verdict with her head bowed.

Violet, who had been pondering for a moment with her arms crossed and her mouth closed, sighed and reached out to cup Doraji’s face.

Doraji’s navy blue eyes and Violet’s golden eyes met each other….

“That’s enough. This is the end of this matter. I won’t mention it anymore. I’ll forgive you.”

“……Pardon?”

Dorothy was surprised and asked back at Violet’s overly generous words.

Violet smiled bitterly at the sight and continued.

“Dorothy has been working for our organization all this time. She stayed until the end when No. 13 lost power and the organization collapsed… Honestly, Dorothy is an indispensable talent now.”

That’s not all.

It’s not just about that.

“I’m grateful for her working for us, and even if that wasn’t the case…we’ve been together for several years. Even if there are a few missteps, I can forgive this much. I want to forgive her.”

【Abyss】 could have had all its members killed or enslaved.

Objectively speaking, from the organization’s point of view, Dorothy should be sentenced to the most severe punishment.

If she can’t be thrown away because she has value, she can at least be made into a slave without any personal will.

Also, Violet had once been furious, saying that she would kill the person who had stimulated her trauma, so considering her feelings at that time, it would not be strange if she tore the Dorothy and Doraji sisters to death.

However, even so.

Violet said she would forgive her.

It is unknown whether this is the right thing to do from the organization’s point of view.

Since the circumstances and situation of this incident have been leaked to some extent to the 【Villain Alliance】, it would be even more necessary for the organization to have a clear example to show to the 【Alliance】.

However, this decision did not take into account the organization’s point of view, or that Dorothy’s skills were needed.

Violet made this decision solely based on her own feelings.

She only considered the feeling that she did not want to lose a colleague like a family member who had shared meals, cried, and laughed together….

“You know, Dorothy… I feel like everyone in this organization is like family.”

“No. 13, the Chief of Staff…and you too.”

“If we’re family, then no matter how badly we act, we can’t help but forgive each other in the end, right?”

Dorothy was silent at Violet’s words.

Her vision was blurred with tears, and a sobbing sound leaked from her mouth.

Violet continued to speak to Dorothy.

“So, I’ll forgive you this time. When you regain your composure, work with us in this organization again like before.”

“The same goes for your sister. If she’s Dorothy’s precious sister, I won’t say anything more about her.”

“So, Dorothy.”

“Once again, be with us.”

At Violet’s generous and gentle words, Dorothy could only nod her head while shedding tears and snot.

………………

……

After receiving Violet’s forgiveness, Dorothy left the Boss’s office and moved with No. 13.

The handcuffs were removed with the Boss’s command, and Dorothy’s hands were now free.

This time, they arrived at Dorothy’s room.

The judgment was that there was no need to keep her locked up in a confinement room since she had received the Boss’s forgiveness.

And, No. 13 also entered Dorothy’s room with her.

“This is Dorothy’s room. Should I say as expected, it’s desolate like you.”

“…Don’t look around without permission. Don’t rummage around. Don’t open the drawers without permission.”

No. 13 looked around as if he was enjoying the sight of Dorothy’s room, which he was seeing for the first time since Dorothy had never let him in before.

No. 13 rummaged through Dorothy’s room without permission, found her underwear drawer, and took out a few pieces of underwear, then looked back at Dorothy with a disappointed look.

“Is this all you have? But I’ve prepared some sexier underwear for you, Dorothy, so wear that from now on. Dispose of everything here.”

“Ugh…really…!”

No. 13 put all of Dorothy’s underwear into a bag that was lying nearby and zipped it up.

Although he said he would dispose of it, he would not throw it away immediately, but would carefully store it in the 『Collection Box』 prepared in No. 13’s room with a tag.

Dorothy gave him a look that said she wanted to rest and wanted him to get out quickly, but No. 13 nonchalantly and calmly sat on the edge of the bed.

“Now, Dorothy. Then let’s have a little chat with me this time.”

He was wearing a greasy smile, but there was something dark and cold in No. 13’s eyes… Dorothy trembled at the sight.

Smiling at Dorothy as if to reassure her, No. 13 continued coldly.

“The Boss forgave you, but I can’t be that generous.”

“The Boss forgave you, but I didn’t, right?”

“So Dorothy, you lousy traitor.”

“Let’s have a close conversation from now on.”

Strangely enough.

In this situation where she was alone with No. 13 in a small room.

At No. 13’s low voice.

At No. 13’s arrogant and cold gaze.

Dorothy’s pussy was faintly getting wet….
