“Haa.”

In the end, I stayed up all night, inhaling the sacred morning air and getting up from my bed. Even though I had stayed up all night with my eyes open, I still couldn’t sleep, and I didn’t intend to sleep in the first place.

After doing such things at night, how could I just go to sleep? Elysier had passed out during the play, so I had no choice but to sleep as well, but I didn’t.

Even after showing me how much she was feeling, Elysier continued to indulge in her masochistic tendencies. She choked and gasped for breath, her lower abdomen turning blue, yet she smiled.

In the end, I was only able to escape when Elysier, with a bruise on her lower abdomen and red lines on her neck, breathed her last few breaths and passed out.

After that, I used magic to clean her body, healed the bruise on her lower abdomen and the red lines on her neck, and finally, after making sure she was breathing, I laid her on the bed.

And I had been pacing in the garden ever since. I had decided to stay outside because I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I lay in bed, and my prediction was correct.

‘……Is my preference really that twisted?’

As soon as I saw the terrace, I was reminded of what had happened the day before. Naturally, I also wondered if my preference was really that way.

At the time, my head wasn’t working properly, so I had brushed it off as a sense of superiority, but now that my head was clear, I could think straight. The feeling I had when I choked Elysier’s neck was clearly excitement.

To begin with, it didn’t make sense that my head wasn’t working properly. When Priscilla had rubbed her body against me in her underwear, when Rosalia had pressed her chest against me, and when I had shared my energy with Nika, kissing her for a long time, my head hadn’t been affected at all.

The only difference between those past events and last night was the presence of physical abuse. So, the only conclusion I could draw was one.

‘Let’s go inside.’

I couldn’t possibly have such a twisted preference. I tried to shift my thoughts elsewhere as I walked.

It was time to go back to bed. I had been outside for too long. If the three people who had been sleeping with me woke up and noticed that I wasn’t there, it would be noisy in more ways than one.

“Ah, you were here. Good timing. I was just coming to look for you.”

As I hurried down the stairs, I ran into Elysier, who was coming down the first floor stairs with Priscilla. Both of them were still wearing the clothes they had been wearing in bed.

One was wearing a negligee that was so thin it was almost transparent, revealing almost her entire body, and the other was wearing a shirt and black lingerie, making them both equally provocative.

“Why don’t you dress properly when you get up? You’re not going to stay like that all day, are you? Even if there’s no one here but us.”

“There’s no need for that. This outfit is better for what we’re about to do.”

“What are you going to do?”

Instead of answering, Elysier nudged Priscilla with her elbow. Prompted by Elysier, Priscilla hesitated for a moment, then held her hands in front of her lower abdomen, forming a heart shape with her thumb and index finger.

It was obvious what that heart symbolized.

“Um, um, Mira. Do it to me too. At night, what you did to Elysier……”

I was shocked and turned to Elysier. Elysier remained calm.

“Don’t look at me like that. I’ve told not only Priscilla but also the other two.”

“Hey, you told them……”

My head was spinning.

I had thought that they had waited until night and gone to the terrace, far from the bedroom, so that the other three wouldn’t find out, but that wasn’t the reason?

“Don’t misunderstand. I didn’t tell them to brag about what we did or to create a rift in our relationship. It’s definitely not that.”

“Then why?”

“I think you should try to return to normal, just as we are doing. It’s part of that attempt.”

Elysier took a step closer. When she tried to touch my lower body, I moved away. Her hand missed and hung in the air. Elysier, unfazed, continued.

“I have one question for you. Weren’t you excited when you choked me last night?”

“……”

Normally, I would have maintained my composure, but I couldn’t this time. After all, I had been thinking about it all night.

Seeing that I couldn’t answer and was hesitating, Elysier looked as if she had expected this.

“I saw it too. I saw with my own two eyes that you were excited as you choked my neck and pounded my uterus. You know very well that this is not something that can be easily overlooked. Think back to how you usually behaved. When we clung to you and rubbed our bodies against yours, was there ever a time when you couldn’t control yourself?”

“……No.”

I could have reacted at any time, but I chose to hold back. It was different from last night.

“At first, you were calm when you choked my neck. You probably could hold it in. But from the middle onwards, you unabashedly showed your emotions. Your current expression tells me that you didn’t do it on purpose. Am I right?”

I nodded quietly. A smile appeared on Elysier’s face.

“It’s clear proof that your self-control has weakened. In a normal situation, this change would be considered unfortunate, but for us right now, it’s not at all. It means that your broken parts are slowly returning to normal. Why would you consider it unfortunate?”

“……”

“You once vowed that you would do whatever it takes to ensure we have a happy ending. We feel the same way. We don’t want an ending where only you are unhappy. Do you want us to live our entire lives like this, pretending to be normal, pretending to ignore our broken parts? We don’t want to see you like that. That’s why I made this suggestion.”

I had never thought about myself in this way before. I had always thought that I could just forget about it and move on with my life, as I had always done.

I silently looked at Elysier, then turned to Priscilla. Priscilla stood there with her hands in front of her lower abdomen, forming a heart with her thumb and index finger to represent her uterus.

Her eyes, filled with undeniable expectation, met mine.

“Do you feel the same way, Priscilla?”

“Yes. I want Mira to be happy too. That’s why I agreed. I want Mira to be able to live a normal life someday. I’ll try my best too……”

At least she wasn’t forced to participate. I shifted my gaze slightly downwards. Priscilla, noticing where my eyes were looking, flinched.

But only for a moment. Soon, she pressed her hands against her lower abdomen, emphasizing the location of her uterus, and pushed down with her fingers. Her slightly protruding lower abdomen boasted its elastic skin.

“It’s going to hurt a lot.”

“It’s fine as long as it’s you, Mira. Elysier said it felt really good.”

“Are you trying to put strange ideas in her head?”

She couldn’t be sure that everyone would feel the same way just because she felt good. The person in question calmly met my gaze.

“We’re fundamentally not that different. So, they’ll definitely like it. I can guarantee it.”

“Your turn will be a long time coming, Elysier. I’ll think about it after the other three have had their turn a dozen times or so.”

“……I was wrong. Will you forgive me?”

At my next words, she immediately cowered and begged for forgiveness, clutching at my pant legs. I had to reassure her several times that it was a lie before I could finally send her away.

“Let’s go, Priscilla.”

“……Yes.”

I took Priscilla, who was full of anticipation, to an empty room. Her yellow eyes, filled with a mix of tension and expectation, looked up at me. I looked down at her body.

I was once again struck by how perfect Priscilla’s body was. Usually, she would have clung to me without hesitation, but now, as I stared at her, she shyly twisted her body.

It was time to leave my mark on this perfect body.

“……I don’t know what the problem was. I can’t figure it out.”

In the end, Elysier’s plan failed.

Priscilla, Rosalia, and Laura all passed out from having their necks choked and their lower abdomens punched, but I remained calm, so it was obviously different from last night.

Instead, Priscilla and Rosalia, who had been normal, suddenly developed strange walls, which was a complete loss. Elysier, who had boasted that she would feel good even if it hurt to death, smiled blissfully as she stroked her lower abdomen, which was now bruised and swollen, and I quietly grabbed the back of my neck.

“It’s not a play I want to do twice.”

Laura, on the other hand, felt good, but she drew the line at doing it twice.

It was a bit ambiguous to call it a normal reaction. Elysier, who had felt so good that she had even drooled, blushed when I teased her about it, so it wasn’t a complete denial.

Just in case, I tried again with Elysier, even going back to the terrace where we had enjoyed ourselves last night, but it was the same.

“Why don’t you try a little harder?”

“I did the same thing as yesterday. If I go any harder, you won’t be able to take it.”

“I’m sturdy, so it’s fine.”

“Are you just saying what you want?”

“I’ve been caught.”

I sighed inwardly at Elysier’s shamelessness. I didn’t react much to her blatant attempt to spare me disappointment, as it was obvious that she was trying to be considerate.

“I guess we’ll have to stop here. Maybe it was just a temporary phenomenon anyway. It’s been a long time since I was like that……”

I paused mid-sentence, lost in thought. They all cocked their heads, not understanding why I was acting this way. But now wasn’t the time to worry about that.

‘……Doesn’t it hurt?’

I looked down at my left hand. The left arm that used to ache just by thinking about the past or the Holy Lance, and the head that used to ache just by talking about it, didn’t hurt at all now.

“……Wait a moment.”

With a stern expression, I focused my senses on my left hand. Holy golden light gathered in my palm, gradually forming the shape of a spear.

I stood there calmly until the spear was fully formed.
