In the 4311th year of the Kingdom’s calendar.
Spring had arrived in a certain town, where the snow began to melt and new sprouts peeked through.
McGillis, with his changed face, was out hitting on a maiden of the same age, just as he did every day.
If he was spotted by a guardian or acquaintance, he’d flee, only to be questioned, “Who are you, child? Where are your parents?”
He’d change his face again in the shadows.
If the girl was alone, or with a childhood friend, he’d make his move.
“Hey, hey, wanna hang out with me for a bit~~? We can go shopping too ♪”
He had a few copper coins, the most commonly used currency in the Tartarus Kingdom.
“…If we go too far, grandma will…”
The girl agreed, as long as they stayed close.
She hadn’t received any treats lately.
The boys were in a different district.
She seemed reliable.
Her parents had told her that if anything happened, she could ask the adults around her for help.
(I’ve heard rumors recently. Croquembouche? Can I eat that?)
McGillis took her hand, and they went on a date.
The croquembouche she wanted exceeded the price shown.
McGillis had the girl sit on a bench while he went to buy it.
“Sorry for the wait~~♪ Here you go.”
“Wow! Is this a croquembouche♪ So fluffy♪ And sweet~♪”
McGillis and the girl finished their date safely, and at the end…
“I might be going on a journey. I want to remember this, so here.”
“What is this?”
“It’s a wishing stone. If you hold it with both hands and make a wish, it comes true ♪”
“A magic item?”
It was just a charm.
McGillis walked the girl back to her house.
“I hope we can meet again, byebye ♪”
The moment the girl turned towards her house, McGillis grinned. With a wicked plan, he revealed his true nature as one of his schemes succeeded.
“It’s like a transmitter that tells me where you are ♪”
Recently, there had been a surge in missing virgin girls.
McGillis was, of course, the culprit.
However, wicked criminal groups were also taking advantage of the kidnapping incidents.
They would sell the abducted girls to wealthy individuals as orphans.
Their use wasn’t limited to the bed.
They were used and discarded for testing new medicines and magic.
The most horrific fate was to be kept as a pet by the wealthy, who kept medium-sized monsters.
Little by little, their limbs would be eaten, and they would be covered in mating fluids and filth before being abandoned.
“To think they’d try to blame me, those despicable people are an eyesore ♪”
One of the girls he had his eye on had been snatched.
As if by fate, a charm had been in her pocket.
The kidnappers’ hideout was already known.
“I should go collect my share soon, heh heh heh.”
McGillis decided to strike that night, heading to the hideout via the great street to avoid the kidnappers’ execution squad.
Outside the town.
A grassland where a small monster lay in a state of suspended animation, waiting for prey to approach.
On a gentle hill, there was a pot-shaped hole, McGillis’s hideout.
The entrance was firmly sealed with earth magic and concealment magic.
The floor, ceiling, and walls of the pot-hole were all hardened with enhancement magic to increase their defense.
“Nn, nnn!!”
“Hk, nnnn”
The girls waited for his return.
There were two of them.
If they became lobotomized or their minds broke, they would be killed.
Absorbed into the body while still alive.
“I’m back~~♪ You must have been lonely, I’m sorry.”
McGillis offered the snacks he had bought on their date, taking away the cloth he had used as a gag.
With a snap, the girl, anger burning in her eyes, bit McGillis’s hand along with the snack.
She was a girl he had kidnapped recently.
The daughter of some soldier.
With a disposition inherited from her father, she would openly challenge older boys if something displeased her.
The other girl was the daughter of a common family.
She knew McGillis would eventually eat them.
“Kyaaaaaaaah!”
This girl too would be eaten.
No, no.
I don’t want to hear that scream anymore!
“Gunnn~~♪ Nn?”
“Perhaps some punishment is in order ♪ Lick~~”
McGillis pulled the girl biting his hand closer.
He stretched his tongue impossibly far and brushed it against her neck.
The girl, disgusted and tickled, released his hand from her mouth.
“What the―――Nnnn?!!!”
He thrust his tongue into the mouth of the screaming girl.
It felt so good! She tried to bite it off.
Futile, futile. You have to grow more as an adult to bite it off!
“――――ッッ”
The other girl let out a voiceless scream.
Her instincts told her that if she made a sound, the monster before her would turn its attention to her.
No matter how terrifying the act, she wouldn’t look away.
She just waited for the horrifying deed to end.
McGillis watched as the girl’s pupils rolled back and she began to suffocate, then retracted his tongue, which had been comically thick.
“Gah, nnnn…”
She pleaded for him to remove his tongue, gasping for fresh air, her consciousness returning.
McGillis thinned his tongue, but didn’t remove it, instead pushing it deeper into her throat.
He prodded and licked inside her stomach, which was coated in gastric juices.
The sheer disgust of the act finally brought tears to the girl’s eyes.
“Take it out, take it out,” she begged.
“~~♪ I like obedient girls.”
McGillis finally withdrew his long tongue from the girl’s mouth.
Then, confirming she had relieved herself,
“If you’re not quiet, the monsters will eat you ♪”
He left after thoroughly intimidating them, without covering their mouths.
The two girls, whispering, discussed how they could escape.
Even if they were threatened, they would eventually be eaten alive by that man… that man-eating monster.
“But, but”
“So, you want us to be eaten?”
The soldier’s daughter found hope: if she could escape this predicament, her father’s soldiers would surely vanquish that monster.
“So, I’m going to work on these ropes with my teeth. Come on, hurry.”
“Ugh, I can’t…”
“Then I’ll work on your ropes. When mine comes undone, untie mine.”
“U-un.”
