『Martyr’s Moon – Day 11 (Lunchtime)』

【Day 1 of Imperial Invasion】

“Damn it… it won’t come off. What kind of chemicals did they use?”

I tried to wipe away the lipstick mark, but it remained as clear as a scar etched deep into my skin.

No matter how much I rubbed it with my hand, it wouldn’t come off completely, and it even felt strange to the touch.

“Damn it… why does this have to happen at such a crucial time…!”

My mind was becoming increasingly chaotic, but I had something more important to do.

My precious daughter, Arc.

The thought that my daughter might be in danger because of those suspicious beings calling themselves Samson and Francis made me quicken my pace.

“Arc… please be safe.”

There was no time to rest. If it was to protect Arc, the last memory of my wife who had become a star and left me…! I could do anything.

I didn’t know what tricks they had used on me, but for Arc, I could do anything, no matter how vile.

But as I ran to the training grounds, all sorts of ominous thoughts filled my head.

What if it was already too late… what if she had already fallen victim to their Demonic Beastly hands…?

The thought sent a chill down my spine, but moving my legs was the priority at this moment.

“Samson and Francis… I don’t know what their true purpose is… but the fact that they infiltrated the Imperial City through the Garrison recruitment means they must be plotting something within the Garrison.”

What happened after arriving at the training grounds was more important, so I had to sort out my thoughts little by little as I ran.

Their sinister smiles, the endlessly spreading sweet scent, and the blank space in my memory after they overwhelmed me.

Everything told me that they were not mere Humans.

“Hey… look at that. Can you see the purple lipstick mark on the Councilor’s cheek?”

“Wow, really? But didn’t he lose his wife?”

The gazes of the maids felt piercing as I passed through the hallway. They must be gossiping about the purple lipstick mark on my cheek.

Those who were laughing and chattering could do so because they didn’t know the seriousness of the situation.

Of course, I was the one who made the situation serious…

Anyway, I’ll be at the training grounds soon. Please be safe…

“Arc…! Please be safe… I’m sorry for being such a lacking Father.”

–

The training grounds, located on one side of the Imperial City, were mainly used as training grounds for Garrison members and soldiers.

The sounds of soldiers training could be heard near the entrance.

Hearing only the sounds, one might think it was the same scenery as usual… but imagining what Samson and Francis might be plotting in the midst of it made my stomach churn again.

“Haa…”

I took a deep breath and stepped towards the training grounds.

“Ugh……?”

As I opened the door with tension, a peaceful scene unfolded inside.

The soldiers in training were shouting and swinging their weapons, and military discipline and order were strictly maintained without any signs of disarray.

Some turned their heads at my sudden appearance, but even they refocused on their training.

“Where, where are they…?”

I couldn’t see the two figures in the crowd of soldiers. Even though they couldn’t hide their large bodies and Avian race wings… confirming that they were nowhere to be seen, an ominous premonition washed over me.

“Hey, you there. I just want to ask you something.”

“Yes…? Ah, Councilor Patient. What’s wrong? You’re panting so heavily… you should calm down a bit.”

“Haa… yes. I appreciate the concern, but there’s no time to rest. Ahem… I heard that the personnel temporarily selected as Garrison members were headed here. I don’t seem to see them anywhere.”

I grabbed a Garrison member who caught my eye and asked about the whereabouts of those who had vanished without a trace.

“Ah, you mean those people? Including those incredibly large, big… attractive women…”

“You can save your personal impressions for later! More importantly, do you know where they went?”

“Ah… I, I’m sorry. The Garrison Commander said he would personally conduct a physical examination of the new recruits and took them to the inner part of the training grounds.”

“Tch…”

Was it… already too late? No, no. I mustn’t let go of the thread of hope yet.

“But why are you looking for them? I thought your approval had already been given…”

“I have some personal business. Excuse me. Thank you for the answer.”

After hearing the answer, I looked around and hurriedly walked towards the inner part of the training grounds.

At that moment, a familiar yet frightening scene came into view in the distance.

“There they are… Samson, Francis.”

The two stood out conspicuously among the soldiers lined up in a row.

Unlike the soldiers training near the entrance of the training grounds, the soldiers near the inner part of the training grounds were captivated by their voluptuous bodies, pretending to move while glancing at them.

The Garrison uniforms they were wearing looked like they would burst at any moment due to their muscles, and even then, they didn’t cover their upper bodies completely, revealing their firm back muscles and huge underboobs from behind.

In particular… the sweet scent became more intense as I went further inside. Under normal circumstances, I would never have gone there, but… the situation was different now.

Arc was inside, so as a Father, I would venture into a viper’s den to save my daughter.

“Arc…”

I slowly took a step forward. It seemed that others couldn’t see it, or perhaps I was seeing things, but a thick purple mist was spreading on the floor, centered around the inner part of the training grounds.

Even though it was clearly a gas, I felt a strange excitement every time the mist touched my legs… but I mustn’t lose my composure.

For Arc… my most precious daughter must not be hurt or broken!

“Arc! Are you inside!!”

“Ah, Father?”

Seeing the wine-colored hair of the girl in front of me, I reflexively shouted her name.

“Arc. Are you safe? Are you hurt anywhere, are there any signs of being subjected to any sinister acts…!”

Arc was near them, but she didn’t seem to recognize their dangerous presence.

“Father. I’m fine. But why are you here…? More importantly, what’s that mark on your cheek…?”

Arc, who had been called by me, still maintained a strong and cold expression as the Garrison Commander in front of the new recruits, but she couldn’t hide her surprise.

“Arc. Those people are dangerous. You mustn’t get close to them. Let’s, let’s get out of here quickly.”

“Yes, y-yes?”

Arc didn’t know anything. The schemes they were plotting, their intentions.

I quickly approached and grabbed Arc’s arm, trying to pull her out.

She seemed surprised by my sudden actions and warnings, but Arc stopped for a moment and continued to speak.

“But Father. They are just temporary members of the Garrison for the time being. More than anything, wasn’t it because you approved them that they were able to come here?”

I felt frustrated by her answer. I was convinced that I couldn’t leave things as they were, but Arc still didn’t realize their threat.

I looked her straight in the eye and said again.

“They are not mere Garrison members. They are suspicious and dangerous. Arc, please believe me.”

However, Arc shook her head, trying to calm me down.

“Father, perhaps you’re just too tired…? Why don’t you rest for a while in the lounge prepared in the training grounds? I’ll take care of it…”

[Councilor. Long time no see♥ You said you were going to rest for a while after examining us because you were tired, but it seems like you haven’t fully recovered from your fatigue yet♥]

Before my daughter could finish speaking, Samson approached, scattering his sparkling blonde hair. Still wearing that sly smile on his face…

[Is there something wrong with us? We were just about to get a physical examination from the Commander♥]

Then, Francis seductively stroked her abs, glanced at Arc, and said leisurely.

I gritted my teeth and glared at Samson.

They were clearly trying to put Arc in danger. I could tell.

I don’t know their true purpose exactly. The destruction of the Empire? Domination? Subjugation? That kind of thing is secondary to me. If they threaten Arc, the Empire being in danger is not even a problem.

But my daughter didn’t realize that and was trying to dismiss my words lightly.

“Father, please calm down. You seem a little agitated… I talked to Samson and Francis for a while, and they didn’t seem like such dangerous people.”

“You even talked to them…?”

No. This situation is deteriorating too quickly. I have to protect Arc.

“I can’t let this happen. I have to get out of here right now, no, out of this Empire…”

The moment I took another step to take Arc with me, the sweet scent stung my nose once again.

The scent was so strong that it felt like my teeth would rot and decay if they touched it, and my head was so dizzy.

At that moment, Samson’s eyes sparkled, and my head became heavier and heavier…

[Hehe♥]

“Father?”

Arc’s voice was heard from afar. No… I can’t collapse like this… I have to protect Arc… that child might be in danger.

The scent that dug into my nose and shook my brain began to cloud my reason. My head was heavy, and my vision was blurred.

I gritted my teeth and tried to hold on to my sanity…

“Father!?”

Arc’s voice was heard again, but my body was gradually getting out of my control and wouldn’t listen to me.

The cause was clearly that scent. It was paralyzing my body. My heart was beating fast, and my fingertips were trembling.

A fainting state accompanied by excitement… no Magic book described this kind of Magic.

[Councilor. You look very tired♥ I heard you’ve been working hard since morning… shouldn’t you take a break♥]

I reached out to Arc and glared at Samson, but her eyes were very relaxed.

Samson smiled and slowly approached, and her voice felt like it was ringing directly in my head.

Francis also slowly followed and smiled at me.

[Councilor. You must have been very tired all this time, so take a break♥ We’ll take good care of the Commander♥]

Her voice was also overwhelming me.

“D, amn…”

A blurry mist, a strange mist mixed with purple and pink, was cast before my eyes.

With the last of my strength, I whispered to Arc.

“Arc… don’t trust… them… danger…”

But before I could finish my words, my body could no longer hold on, and my mind darkened.

–Thud…

“F……ther…!…”

I knelt down and collapsed to the floor. With all my senses numbed, my last thought was only the desperation to protect Arc.

–

–

–

“Ugh…!?”

I struggled to regain consciousness and barely opened my eyes. Everything was dark, as if surrounded by a blurry mist.

“Wh, what is it…?”

Looking around, I could see surfaces reflecting light flickering. Then I suddenly realized.

“Mirrors…?”

This was a room full of mirrors. Countless mirrors were surrounding me.

My body had been forcibly raised, and the narrow floor was so difficult to stand on that it was even hard to stand on two feet.

“My voice is higher… and… th, this appearance is…!”

Strangely, my body felt so unfamiliar and heavy. My voice was higher than usual and familiar. I wasn’t wearing much clothing, so I even felt a chilly sensation.

Soon, my vision returned, and I could see my reflection in the mirror.

And at that moment, I realized that the reflected image was not the me I knew.

“What… A, Arc?”

The me in the mirror… was my wife, who had passed away long ago. The only difference was that my hair color was my original color.

She looked no different from when she was alive. The same as she was in life, those warm eyes, soft facial lines, and even her body.

But now I was in that body. I couldn’t believe it.

How… how could my body be her body?

Could this also be a scheme of Samson and Francis…?

“That can’t be. I’m the only one who knows what Arc looks like now… unless they rummaged through my head, there’s no way they could know what she looks like…”

I looked at my thin and delicate hands. Slender wrists and soft palms. Everything was hers back then.

Her healthy appearance before she lost her vitality and the spots of death rotted her whole body.

Everything was surreal. I couldn’t bear to see myself in the mirrors all around me, looking like my wife.

“Arc……”

I shouted inwardly. But the face in the mirror didn’t say anything. Instead, my departed wife was just silently staring at me from there.

[What a beautiful sight. Councilor Patient♥]

“S, Samson…?”

While I was confused by the image of my wife reflected in the mirror and catching my breath, Samson’s voice was heard, and suddenly the atmosphere in the room began to change.

The mirrors shook and disappeared before my eyes. The surroundings suddenly turned into an empty space, and even the floor beneath my feet shook. I lost my balance and fell forward.

“Kkeueut…!”

The moment I put my hand on the ground and barely tried to raise my body, I felt a presence nearby. That familiar but unpleasant presence.

When I raised my head, Samson was standing in front of me.

“That appearance… so you weren’t Human after all.”

She was barely wearing strings that were embarrassing to even call clothes, and even then, they looked like they would break at any moment due to her breasts, which were larger than her head, and her muscles, which seemed to be alive.

In addition, red horns protruded stiffly towards the ceiling, and her green eyes gleamed.

And… a violently sized Dick and Testicles pulsed and were erect in the middle of her Cunt.

A sly smile and an excessively exposed body.

[Hehe♥ Samson, huh. Sorry, but that’s a fake name. My real name is…]

She gently stroked her abs with one hand and roughly stroked her erect Dick with the other, in contrast.

[Lightly Elaine♥ Apostle of Depravity serving the greatest and most lewd Goddess♥]

“Lightly… Elaine?”

Samson, who revealed her real name as Elaine. But that name sounded familiar. Surely… one of the Princess’s escorts who went missing during the civil war with the kingdom?

[Nice to meet you. Councilor♥ Your appearance of kneeling and crawling on the ground was very impressive♥]

Looking at Elaine, who was looking down at me and lightly sneering, my confusion and chaos were not quelled…
