Sacrifice in the Darkness

That night, as they had done on previous days, Aioze organized the pairs for the rooms.

"The pairings will be as follows: Gerald and I in room number one. Yuuki and Himeno in room number two. Hiroshi and Lysandra in room three. Koharu and Shana in room four. Max and Shouta in room five. Yumi and Filna in room six," he announced , in front of everyone.

No one objected. After a full day of intense training, exhaustion outweighed any opinions.

Each pair went to their room.

Meanwhile, in room number two.

"Hey, Himeno , are you alright?" he asked. Yuuki .

Himeno replied that she was worried about Fujimoto , wondering if he was truly alright or not. Yuuki then smiled.

"You don't need to worry, because tomorrow he will be found and brought back here ," he said . Yuuki .

"Thank you for your kind words, I think I'll have a glass of water," she said . Hymen .

"Do you want me to go with you?" he asked. Yuuki .

"No need," he replied . Hymen .

— Okay, see you in a bit. — he said Yuuki .

— See you later. — he said Hymen .

Himeno then opened the door and left the room.

(I'm going to get a glass of water to relax, because I can't stop thinking about Fujimoto .) — she thought.

Himeno was walking down the hallway when she heard a noise coming from one of the rooms on the same hallway as her and Yuuki 's room .

The noise was coming from room number three, where Hiroshi and Lysandra were.

She approached and stood near the door to listen to what they were saying.

Room number three.

"So you're saying you enslaved Max and Shouta ?" Lysandra asked, annoyed.

"Yes, those two are my puppets now," Hiroshi replied .

Lysandra glared angrily at Hiroshi.

"If anyone finds out about this, we'll be in trouble," he said . Lysandra .

"You forbade me from using my ENSLAVE ability on women, but you didn't say anything about using my ENSLAVE ability on men," Hiroshi said ironically.

Lysandra remained irritated.

"You don't understand the gravity of the situation," he said . Lysandra .

"Don't worry, I won't mess things up; after all, I have everything under control," Hiroshi replied .

"Are you talking about Fujimoto too ?" he asked. Lysandra .

(What are they going to say about Fujimoto ?) — he thought. Hymen , outside.

"I already told you, her name is Fujinomiya ," Hiroshi said .

Aioze would surely ask you to make him a man again," she said . Lysandra .

"Don't worry, I just have to make up excuses to avoid reverting his DNA to normal. For now, starting tomorrow, he'll have six days left to become a man again," Hiroshi replied .

Himeno was startled by what he heard behind the door.

(So Hiroshi is still the same bastard as always… besides, he doesn't intend to make Fujimoto a man again. Should I confront Hiroshi or tell Yuuki about this tomorrow?) — she thought. Hymen is worried.

Himeno sighed.

(That's it. Hiroshi must want Fujimoto 's genetic DNA to be permanently transformed into a woman so he can have fun with him in bed. For Fujimoto's sake ... I'll make that sacrifice.) — she thought . Hymena, apprehensive and determined.

Himeno then knocked very slowly on the door of room number three.

Inside the room, Hiroshi and Lysandra were startled.

"Who could it be?" he asked. Lysandra .

"I don't know, I hope it's one of my servants," Hiroshi replied .

The two sat on the bed, looking at each other.

"What are you waiting for to open it?" he asked. Lysandra .

"That's right," Hiroshi replied .

Hiroshi got out of bed and opened the bedroom door. He and Lysandra then saw Himeno , who looked frightened.

She asked if she could come in. Hiroshi looked at Lysandra .

"Yes, you can come in," he replied . Lysandra .

Himeno went inside, and Hiroshi then closed the door.

Lysandra asked Himeno if something had happened.

Himeno then said that she had overheard Hiroshi and Lysandra 's entire conversation . The two were shocked and frightened. Lysandra glared angrily at Hiroshi.

"Hey, Himeno , you didn't just come into this room to say that," he said . Lysandra .

— You're right. — he replied . Hymen .

Himeno sighed and looked at Hiroshi.

"I'll do anything, but when Fujimoto is found, I beg you to make him a man again," she pleaded . Hymen .

Himeno 's hand and smiled.

"Anything? Then I think I deserve a reward, like taking your purity," Hiroshi said .

Himeno first looked at Hiroshi in surprise.

"If it's to help Fujimoto , then I accept," Himeno replied very quietly.

Lysandra watched as Hiroshi and Himeno began to take off their clothes.

(It seems my beloved Hiroshi is very lucky.) — she thought .

Lysandra then got out of bed and went to the door.

"I'm going to put soundproof seals on the walls and the bedroom door so no one can hear anything," she said .

"Thank you, Lys ," Hiroshi replied .

Lysandra made a few hand gestures, activating magical seals around her. The room became isolated, enveloped in a heavy feeling.

She then sat down in a chair nearby, crossing her legs, simply observing.

Hiroshi sat on the bed, and Himeno sat beside him, still visibly nervous.

Himeno 's breasts are naturally large, and her big buttocks are treasures that would excite any man. Her waist is perfect. She has a beautiful body.) — Hiroshi thought , with a crooked smile.

He then pulled her closer and kissed her.

At first, Himeno tried to resist, but immediately surrendered, closing her eyes.

The kiss grew deeper. When Hiroshi put his tongue in, Himeno slowly opened her mouth hesitantly, but didn't pull away.

His hands enveloped her, pulling her closer.

"You should just stand still and do nothing. Just... enjoy it," Hiroshi murmured , resting his forehead against hers.

— (What is this…?) — he thought Hymen , feeling her heart race.

His hands glided over her body, but the narration seemed to dissolve along with the clarity of Himeno 's thoughts .

The room was dark and silent, with only the muffled sound of breathing filling the space.

She felt her body react in ways she couldn't explain.

— Ah… Hiroshi… — he escaped in a whisper, more emotional than physical.

"I'm almost there, making you understand," he murmured , with a wry smile.

Time seemed to stretch out and become muddled.

For Himeno , each touch mixed ancient revulsion, fear, guilt… and something new, confusing, that burned inside.

(I've always hated this... always hated it... So why is it different now?) — Himeno thought, confused.

Hiroshi enveloped her in a tight embrace, drawing the two even closer.

"Can you feel it? This is pleasure," he asked in a low voice.

Himeno remained silent for a few seconds, panting.

— Haah … Hiroshi… why do I feel like this…? — he asked. Hymen .

"Because, for the first time, you're letting your body feel, instead of running away. I don't want to be the only one enjoying it… I want you to enjoy it too," he replied .

Himeno closed her eyes tightly.

(It's wrong... but... if it's to save Fujimoto ... I...) — Himeno thought .

She moved closer and kissed him again, this time of her own accord.

From that point on, the night continued without any more clear words.

The bed creaked slightly, the shadows mingled, and the rest was lost in the silent darkness protected by Lysandra 's seals .

Later, with the room silent and the air heavy, Himeno lay staring into the void.

His face was still red, his body warm, his breathing slowly returning to normal.

"Are you alright, Himeno ?" asked Hiroshi, lying beside her with a satisfied smile.

Himeno turned her face away for a second, embarrassed.

"I... I'm fine," she replied.

He chuckled softly.

"How about another round, then?" Hiroshi asked .

Himeno remained silent for a few moments… and then approached, embracing him by the shoulders.

"So... let's go for another round," she said quietly.

The room sank back into the twilight.

Amidst all of this, a thought pierced her mind like a cold blade.

(Why do I want Fujimoto to go back to being a man so badly? It's because I love him.) — she thought . Hymen is confusing.

But along with that, another, more distorted thought emerged.

(If he stays like this… if he remains a woman… maybe I can have him all to myself. Maybe I can show him what I felt today…) — thought Himeno .

She smiled to herself, still embracing Hiroshi.

( Fujimoto can't go back to being a man... he needs to stay by my side, feeling this "pleasure" too.) — she thought. Hymen determined.

"Why do you have such a beautiful smile?" Hiroshi asked .

"I was just reflecting on some things you told me a moment ago," he replied . Hymen .

Hiroshi smiled back.

"I understand... let's continue enjoying ourselves," he said.

He glanced at Lysandra , who was still nearby, observing part of the scene with an assessing look.

Lysandra understood the message, moving closer to the bed, joining the two on that silent and corrupted night.

The moon outside remained high in the sky, oblivious to everything.
