Phantom Thief Prepares to Infiltrate (3)

Among the two main methods for Monsters to extract Magical Power from others are and….

Eating is, quite literally, devouring someone. However, it’s a method not adopted unless one is 『Unaffiliated』. If you ask why, the answer is simple.

Because once the flesh is consumed, the Magical Power cannot be extracted in any form and accumulates within the predator’s body. The only ways to expel it are for another to eat the predator, or….

Whether they were Tax Evaders or taxpayers. If there hadn’t been a law prohibiting killing regardless of human rights, Earth might already be a sea of blood.

It’s barbaric. While it might be understandable for the Unaffiliated who don’t follow laws, 『Klaus』, as a race that moves according to the will of their seven leaders, the Seven Stars, mercilessly beheaded those who plotted insubordination like rebellion.

If they weren’t Unaffiliated, there would be no need for individuals to grow stronger, and they wouldn’t commit the foolish act of devouring humans, or cutting open the belly of a goose that lays golden eggs.

That’s why most Monsters who successfully invaded eight other planets besides Earth extracted Magical Power solely through the second method, .

‘It’s not even an H-game…the world is going crazy.’

The quality of Magical Power secreted when feeling emotional energy…especially pleasure, was said to be ridiculously high-concentration…I couldn’t understand it.

Aren’t both and acts performed with the body? If so, how can extract Magical Power?

Do they perhaps make semen or vaginal fluid mixed with Magical Power their staple food…? The thought of eating such a thing made me sick.

‘Crazy bastards…’

Before entering the Prison, I had only considered the Klaus to be highly civilized, yet screw-loose barbarians.

Living in the same society, but idiots who used foul fluids as nutrients…that’s what I thought.

….

“Is this…is this something you do to a person…?”

“Of course not. But it’s a natural thing to do to Tax Evaders.”

Even though I wore a mask that prevented the aphrodisiac from entering, the nauseating smell made me feel like vomiting, so I covered my mouth with my hand.

Thankfully, a huge glass window separated me from the place with the sign, preventing my stomach acid from refluxing…but just seeing it made my insides twist.

Squish, grind, squish-squish-squish-squish-squish…

“Guoooooh!! Take my cum, Aku!! Get pregnant and give birth to healthy Akus, Akuuuu!!”

“No…! Please, please stop ittt!!”

In the , a Monster identical to the Aku who had tried to assault me in the past grabbed the waist of a woman inside a capsule and slammed their bodies together.

Splurt-gurgle─

“Guhihihi…that felt good, Aku. I’ll be back in an hour, Aku.”

Along with the trembling of her body, visible even from a distance, sticky, yellowish droplets fell to the ground from the woman’s lower body inside the capsule.

Aku, having finished ejaculating, let out a deep sigh, smiled as if satisfied, and then pulled out the dick that had filled the woman’s private parts.

The glans was purple, its appearance reminiscent of an eggplant. Aku squeezed out the transparent, white foul fluid clinging to his dick with his hand, collected it, and then spread it like beauty cream all over the woman’s body, which was gasping from the waves of climax.

“Ugh…!”

“Oh dear…is the smell too foul for a normal woman to bear? Shall I help you up if you want to go quickly~.”

“Haa…haa…don’t touch me…I can get up by myself.”

“Alright~ Just say the word if you’re struggling. You fucking pervert-ssi who gets off just by being touched.”

Bastard…

Thanks to the mask that filtered out only the aphrodisiac mixed in the air, I didn’t go into heat, but the fishy fermented shrimp paste smell coming through the Ventilation Duct entered my nostrils with every breath, unsettling my stomach.

Not a Prison, but hell. Not a , but a chicken farm.

The capsules were lined up all the way to the other side, like coops holding hens in a chicken farm, making the number of women being exploited in the workshop immeasurable.

“The Infirmary is on the 5th floor. Let’s take the elevator.”

“If you touch me one more time…I’ll kill you.”

“I said I get it~ If you don’t believe me, just stay in the corner. So prickly…”

As I followed the Driver Monster up the elevator, I could see what kind of workshops were on each floor.

The 2nd floor was the Succubus floor. They would squeeze the men brought to the Prison until they were on the verge of death by sexual exhaustion, and once their Magical Power was depleted, the men would be sent through a gate that transferred them to Home Planet Klaus, where they would undergo Monster transformation surgery.

“I’d like to try this place…but those Succubus bastards don’t know moderation…What happened to that employee who went in last time, I wonder?”

The 3rd and 4th floors were the Interspecies floors. These floors aimed to create intelligent Monsters by mating slaves with demonic beasts that couldn’t even be called Monsters, such as Tentacles, bicorns, snails, and slime insects.

But as it was literally interspecies…mating with other races, the slaves often couldn’t endure it and ended up broken…

“It would be great if a slime girl or a bee girl came out…but they’ve never succeeded, have they? Females with a Pregnancy Skill are quite rare, you see.”

“What…what do you even think people are…!”

Lactation, bestiality, egg-laying, milking, exploitation, forced stamina consumption, rape, interspecies breeding…the stench was one thing, but these acts were utterly unforgivable.

When I looked up at the Driver Monster with eyes full of rage, he scratched his head and replied, “This is just work, isn’t it?”

“…What?”

“You were invaded, and even though we collect a lot of taxes, there are systems in place for you to live like humans, aren’t there? Everyone here is just trash who couldn’t pay money or Magical Power. We’re just recycling that trash until the very end. There’s nothing wrong with that, is there?”

This wasn’t just a matter of cultural differences between countries.

To the Monsters, the lifeforms on Earth…Colony Star 009, were divided into two categories.

Either identical to themselves, or livestock of lesser value. Even if it was a brutal act devoid of mercy for humanity, for the Klaus, a day in the Prison was just ordinary daily life.

“We’ve arrived…you can take off your mask on the 5th floor. This floor only has the staff lounge, Guld-nim’s private room, the Infirmary, and the Vault.”

“…The Vault?”

“It’s Guld-nim’s personal Vault. I heard there’s quite a lot of money stored there…Inside the Vault are Guld-nim’s assets and a Magic Tank he secretly stashed away, so much that your Human Rights Fee, which was bombed due to an error, would be laughable in comparison.”

A door displaying iron Knight armor that a giant over 2 meters tall might wear. That was Guld’s Vault.

Right…let’s calm down first.

Even if I went wild here, I couldn’t save the people here. Today, I’m just here to scout under the identity of ‘Lee Seri’.

“…Hey. Is there nothing above this floor? Is the 5th floor the end?”

“You suddenly got calm…Above is the rooftop. There’s nothing specific to put there, just Ventilation Ducts. See the wire mesh up there? That’s where the aphrodisiac escapes.”

Looking at where the Driver Monster pointed with his thumb, I entered the Infirmary and sat down. The wire mesh ceiling I had seen in the 5th-floor hallway was also installed here.

If it’s installed in every room, it should be in the Vault too…

“…But I don’t hear a ventilator? Is it not installed?”

“We don’t need one. The undiluted aphrodisiac is produced inside the pipes…Here, take this. If you stick it on your ankle, you’ll heal quickly.”

The Monster, rummaging through a medicine box in the Infirmary, opened a pouch with a first-aid cross drawn on it and handed me a green pad.

One side was fluffy, and the other seemed to have strong adhesive…it was just a pain relief patch.

“If you were seriously injured, you could get treatment in a medical capsule, but it’s not that bad, so this should be enough. If it’s hard to do alone, shall I put it on for you? I could even take off your pants. Hehehe…”

“…No thanks. I can do it myself, so mind your own business. I’m going to put it on in the restroom, so just show me the way.”

“It’s right next to the Infirmary exit. The women’s restroom is a space used by Succubi, so wear your mask there. They go to extract semen at fixed times, so no one should be there right now.”

So Succubi go to the restroom too. To extract semen…He tells me such detailed things…though I appreciate it.

A women’s restroom…it probably won’t be that different…

…..

“…It’s cleaner than I expected.”

A restroom with a floor covered in cherry blossom-colored tiles and a faint, rich floral scent. It was definitely different from the men’s restroom, which was filled with the smell of bleach and disinfectant.

The treatment pad…I won’t use it now. I’ll save it for when I come back to raid the place…

‘There’s a Ventilation Duct here too…’

‘The only place to infiltrate…is the rooftop.’

When I looked around the Prison from the outside, I didn’t see any entry points to the interior except for the main gate.

Although I was subjected to humiliating remarks like “flat-chested” or “only your pelvis is arousing” and had my private parts molested in the truck…my gaze remained fixed on the Prison.

The interior was covered with cameras, but not a single camera was visible around the Prison, so the security was probably handled by a demonic beast called an Evil Eye.

The guard demonic beast, Evil Eye. If I could just deal with that bat-like demonic beast, entering through the Ventilation Duct via the rooftop wouldn’t be difficult.

Still, just in case there were sensors inside the Ventilation Duct, I slowly pushed the pipe inspection camera I had in my pocket into the duct.

1 meter…5 meters…Thanks to Klaus’s technology being widespread even in daily life, the camera’s diameter was only about 1mm, and its wire was as thin as thread, but since I had to carry it in my pocket, its maximum length was about 20 meters.

But no matter how far I pushed the camera, only simple iron walls were visible; no light sources that looked like sensors appeared.

For years, when infiltrating noble mansions as Phantom Thief Lupin, if it wasn’t a disguise to host a party and hide among the crowd, the entry points were usually exhaust pipes or ventilation passages.

Sensors invisible even when smoke was sprayed were basic, and there were often double-installed traps, as well as places where arrows or harpoons would shoot out.

‘I don’t see any sensors…Why? Even if the factory is big, they should be installed every few meters…’

Well…it’s easier for me if there aren’t any. But let’s not let our guard down.

The room order is roughly Guld’s storage → staff lounge → rooftop ventilation passage → restroom…The passage size was also fortunately wider than expected, enough to crouch down. Given the size of the Prison, the amount of aphrodisiac being discharged would probably be large.

I should secretly take the aphrodisiac-blocking mask. Without it, I won’t be able to go through the Ventilation Duct…Alright. Shall I leave now…?

Flicker, Thump─

“Wh-what…why did this suddenly turn off?”

Just as I was about to retrieve the camera, the light from the lens passing through the passage flickered, and right before it went dark…I felt a vibration.

Just as the screen, crackling with noise, was about to reappear…

─Lee Seri! What’s taking you so long?!

“Oh dear…was I in here too long? Can’t be helped…”

The voice of the Driver Monster who had brought me.

When I pressed the emergency retrieval button, the extended camera quickly coiled back like a measuring tape.

As I checked the camera lens to confirm it had been safely retrieved…a sticky, transparent but pinkish lump of viscous fluid was clinging to it.

‘…What is this? Is it clumped aphrodisiac…?’

I wanted to investigate what it was, but I had no time, and it looked too unsettling to touch carelessly, so I wiped the camera with toilet paper, put it in my pocket, and left the restroom.

─Lee Seri!! Come out now!!

“Damn it…I’m coming, I’m coming.”

He called me so urgently, I wonder if he’s just going to touch my ass again…That bastard…

Thump, Thump-!!
