You? Devour Me?

There’s not a single person in this world you can trust.

Not even in isekai.

Especially not someone who knew my face, my past,
and smiled like she already had the ending written.

I stared at her.
One real question lingered in my mind:

Did I want to play her game anyway?

To be fair, playing with her should give me more benefits, especially since it wasn't that hard to play along. However, there were convictions inside me that seemed to deny it.

And yes, it is the fact that I was a police.

As someone who had already given everything for my country, accepting her help meant I would betray these moral conducts I possessed. But the thing is, should I even care?

Not even once was I appreciated when doing my duty. I didn’t need that either.

However, when I cosplayed...
"Yui-chan! That's so great!"
"Your Arl*****no cosplay was top-notch!"
"You look really elegant in that dress~"
These compliments... maybe were the ones I needed.

[WARNING: INTERRUPTION]

What is this again this time?

[IF YOU ACCEPT HER OFFER, YOU WILL BE STRIPPED OFF FROM THE SYSTEM AND IT WILL GIVE ADVANTAGE TO OTHER SIDE CHARACTERS WE CHOOSE. MEANING YOU WILL BETRAY THIS FACILITY.]

I startled in confusion, not ready for the consequences thrown at my face.
"No, this can't be happening..."
"Still talking to yourself, love? Or perhaps... a talking mirror in front of you?"

Wait, that's not... how did you know?
No, no, no, how did she know I was talking to something?
I thought this panel thing was supposed to be invisible?
"H-how... how did you know?" I asked, demanding her explanation, my eyes looking like I was on the verge of madness as I stared at her with a manic expression etched on my face.

"Never underestimate my sixth vision, Yui Katagiri-san."
Sixth... vision?
I have heard of six senses but never heard of vision. What is this again?
"What vision? Also, it's not a mirror... it's a pa-"
"Panel. I figured you would call that, but there was no such thing in this world."

Are you saying you read my mind this whole time?
"Are you a clairvoyant or something?"
I said this because of the fact she could read my mind.
"Clairvoyant, huh..."
"That's quite a unique way to describe someone who has awakened her Vision."

VISION?
No, this is getting too absurd. Is this some kind of power ability bs?
Or something far more powerful?
"You could say I am... however, don't you know?"

She got closer, and this time too intimate as her hands moved around me, rubbing my clothes and embracing me tightly, with my sensitivity totally affected out of vulnerability.
"I can kill you anytime whenever you refuse..."

She whispered that deadly sentence into my left ear, but the vibration was felt even inside my brain before going out to my right ear. It was a sudden, overwhelming auditory sensory meridian response.
Actually, maybe I should just abbreviate it as ASMR to make it simple for all of you.

However, I should never back down. Time to show her what I’m capable of this whole time.
"And what if I devour you?"

Hearing that, she let out a slight smile whose corners got sharper and sharper.
It was a sardonic smile. A sadistic smile. A genuinely sinister smile.
And then, she showed her teeth, demonstrating a very satisfying, chilling laugh.

At this point, she must be thinking, "You? Devour me?" with half skepticism and amazement.
"Hahahaha... you, devour me? Don't you think you are going a bit too far, Yui?"

I will explain it to her, perhaps. Because I didn’t even need anything but the truth she was holding. And if I accepted her original deal... I might end up like her victims.
Devoured by her after following what she ordered.
"Okay, I will compensate with—"
"You genuinely think... you have any chance to make a deal with me?"

Her expression got even more terrifying; I could feel her attempting to devour me anytime she got an opportunity to do so. But she was trying her best to hold back.
Because she probably knew something I didn’t.
"Well, if you don't want to, you can eat my soul alive now."

I then stripped away my clothes.
And no worries, there was no skin and all. Soul’s got no form, after all.
So, everything is perfectly under parental guidance. I said this as your mommy.

"Wait, what are you doing?"
I laid bare in front of her, ready to get devoured.
"No, don't do this to me!"

I smiled, knowing someone who would match my freak was something I desired, after all.
"Come on, I know you really want this so badly..."

Her saliva drooled out of her mouth. As if seeing a 5-star dinner at a restaurant.
No, could be more heavenly.
She indeed was starving.
"Okay, I will accept your deal! Happy?!"

I win!
What did you think about that, Clarisse?
I beat you in your own ridiculous game! This was my perfect victory!

I really wanted to scream that out loud... like that villain who decided to commit murders out of his spite for the rotten world. Not gonna say who because it would be a copyright.

I then took back my clothes to wear them again.
"So, you changed your mind now? What did you genuinely see in me, actually?"

My God, she really is starving.
She still drooled herself to death and genuinely couldn't stop it at all...

After realizing I was looking at her drooling, she wiped her lips, then said,
"I will tell you..."
"But only if you make a very acceptable and sensible deal for me."
"Be happy for this because this is the least I can do. Normally, as you know it, I would just eat you without any elaboration on why. But this time, I couldn’t resist agreeing."

I see...
So, what would be the best deal, then?
I had no idea.
