Master and Slaves

"Sorry. I’m sorry...."

The girl’s voice rang out.

It was a voice I knew well.

But it was a voice full of sorrow.

"Hey! Don’t cry like that. We won’t let you off lightly if you’re serious."

Following that came the rough, guttural voice.

It was unmistakably vulgar.

Immediately after, an enormous pain shot through my right shoulder.

"Guaaaaah!!"

"Iyaaaahhhhh!!!"

My scream and the girl’s cry overlapped.

It seemed like my right shoulder had been struck with a wooden stick.

"If you understood, then shake your hips! Come on!"

"Yes... ugh..."

The rough voice sounded again, and the familiar voice of the girl reached my ears once more.

I endured the pain and slowly opened my eyes.

I recognized the place.

It was the location I had entered through the hidden door of the ruins.

I was inside an iron cage.

Both my hands and feet were chained, leaving me completely unable to move.

In front of me stood a man holding a wooden stick and looking toward the other side.

On the other side of the iron cage, two men were holding the entrance, blocking it.

Beside them stood the red-haired girl, turning her face away.

Was she... Milli?

And in the center of the table on the other side, the man... the man was....

"Cathy!"

"Hiroyuki-sama!!"

Cathy was pinned face-down on the table by the man, being violated.

"Come on, come on, come on. My beloved husband is watching. Squeal cutely like you’re enjoying it!"

The man slapped Cathy’s butt.

"Stop it!!"

"Be quiet! Shut up!"

The man inside the cage grabbed the wooden stick and thrust it hard into my abdomen.

"Uguh!! Gahah!"

"Disgusting. He puked, this guy."

The man in front of me laughed, and the two men on the other side of the iron cage burst into laughter.

"Alright, this one’s done. Kill her."

"Wait! Don’t kill me! I don’t care what happens to me, just don’t kill meeee!"

Cathy’s cries of despair echoed.

"Ku ku ku. Nice. Then, you die."

The man violating Cathy signaled something to the men at the entrance.

The man at the entrance picked up the axe and stood beside Cathy.

"Ku ku ku. I wanted to try it just once. Death rape, right?"

"Can I really do it?"

"Yeah, I transported all the needed women. This one’s yours to use however you like."

"Then, let’s do it."

The man raised the axe.

"Cathy!"

"Hiroyuki-sama, please be well...."

"Cathy!!"

The man swung the axe down. Cathy’s head separated from her body and fell to the floor.

"Cathyeeeeeeee!!"

At that exact moment, my entire field of vision turned monochrome.

Black and white world.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Something whispered to me.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

The voice, the black impulse, grew stronger and began to dominate me.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

What? What was in front of me?

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Yes, break it. If I waved my hand, it would break.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

My hands wouldn’t move. Well, if I applied a little strength, it would be fine.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Something broke in front of me. It shattered with a crack. Haha hahaha.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

I freed my hands and feet with just a little strength.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

I slowly walked over and grabbed the object in front of me.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

And pulled it out with a riip.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Something bothersome was in front of me.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

I swung the stick I was holding.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Ahahaha, it shattered with a crack, it broke, ahahaha.

——Break it · Break it · Open it · Break it · Break it——

Which one next? Which one should I break?

"Master!"

Something clung to me. Was this what I needed to break?

"Master! Master!"

Guh, what is this. It’s disgusting, stop, stop it!

"Master! Please come back to your senses!"

Damn it, the power wasn’t entering. Was there something? Ah, yes. If I ate that...

"Stop!!"

I had swallowed "light" twice. This one was good. More, more! According to the "light," something had touched my legs. What is this? This... this... Cathy’s... uaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!

......

I opened my eyes.

Where am I?

The ceiling was visible.

Was this some house?

Where? What place is this?

When I tried to remember... my head hurt.

I pressed my head with my right hand and checked the surroundings only with my eyes.

Looking down... on the left side of the bed sat a completely naked girl I recognized, resting her head on the bed and lying asleep.

"Fufu."

I couldn’t help but smile.

I slowly pulled my left hand out and stroked her head.

"My Master...."

Had I woken her?

"Mmm...."

It seemed like she was talking in her sleep.

"She’s adorable."

Startled by the sudden voice, I turned toward it, and Helene was standing near the door.

"How long have you been here?"

"Just now. Since Hiroyuki-sama was stroking Tiria’s head."

"I see."

"Tiria... has been crying the whole time. It’s my fault, I’m the one who’s wrong."

"Eh? Why do you think it’s Tiria’s fault?"

"... Nothing at all."

"You’re a strange person."

We spoke quietly so as not to wake Tiria.

The usual three of us... wait, one’s missing.

Ah, it’s Cathy.

Cathy was....

"By the way, have you found Cathy?"

"!!... Hiroyuki-sama, you don’t remember?"

"What?"

"... Hiroyuki-sama... Cathy is in the next room. Do you want to see her?"

"Is she resting? If she’s resting, it’s fine."

"No... that’s right. Please definitely take a look."

"Hm? Ah, ah."

For some reason, I nodded under Helene’s pressure.

I carefully stepped out of the bed without waking Tiria.

Then, following Helene’s silent exit from the room.

It was in the next room’s bed.

That... could I call it that?

The blanket covered the entire length of the bed.

Helene slowly peeled the blanket away.

There lay the thing that had been Cathy.

...In a state where the body and head were separated.

"... Helene... this... what is this?"

"It’s Cathy."

"Cathy? This?"

"Yes."

"Cathy... has she died?"

"No, she is not dead."

"...... What does that mean?... If she’s like this, she’s not dead?... Is she alive like this?... What is going on!!"

"Please don’t raise your voice. Tiria will wake up."

"Why are you so calm!? Cathy has died! Cathy has... Cathy has...."

I remembered.

Cathy had been killed.

I hadn’t been able to do anything.

Even if Cathy had been violated or killed, I hadn’t been able to do anything.

"Hiroyuki-sama, please calm down first. Take a deep breath, okay."

"Helene!"

Helene’s teasing tone was irritating me.

That’s why I shouted.

At that moment, Helene slapped me with a bap!

"So!! Calm down! What are you going to do if you’re like this as the Master!!"

I was surprised by the slap and then by the shouting.

But it did calm me down a little.

"How is it? Have you calmed down?"

"Yeah, thanks.... Haa. Then, explain it to me."

"Yes. Right now, Cathy is not in a living state, but she is not dead either. If I have to say, she’s in a state of suspended animation."

"Suspended animation... meaning her neck and torso are separated."

"Yes. Before, did the Master say that Dules don’t die?"

"Ah. You said so... but how does that... perhaps Cathy is a Dule?"

"Haa?... Um, Hiroyuki-sama, did you make Cathy a Dule?"

"Eh? I didn’t."

"But here. Look."

Helene pulled the blanket away from Cathy further.

"This is Hiroyuki-sama’s mark, right?"

On Cathy’s left chest was a mark resembling the rising sun flag.

"It is indeed my mark."

"Then, Cathy is Hiroyuki-sama’s Dule."

"No, but..."

"For now, let’s heal Cathy."

"...... She can... be healed?"

"Hiroyuki-sama will heal her."

Helene picked up Cathy’s head and placed it on her neck.

"Hiroyuki-sama, please pour magic into Cathy’s neck."

"Like this...?"

I placed both hands on the seam of Cathy’s neck without doing anything else and gathered my raw magic in my palms.

Then I poured it into Cathy’s neck.

"Do you understand that the neck is severed?"

"Ah, I see it clearly."

"Then, can you see that the magic I poured from Hiroyuki-sama is healing from the inside of the neck?"

"...... Ah, it’s healing. I can see it clearly."

Bones, nerves, muscles, fat, skin, and the wound disappeared.

"Yes, the neck has been healed."

"So, will Cathy come back to life?"

"Not yet. Next, we need to make her heart beat. Just like before, please pour magic into Cathy’s chest."

Helene pulled the blanket further, completely exposing Cathy’s breasts.

The areas here and there were blue, no doubt from the rough treatment by those men.

Thinking that, anger welled up inside me.

Why did Cathy have to suffer like this!

"Damn it!"

"Yes yes, anger comes later. Right now, let’s focus on healing Cathy."

Yes.

I couldn’t let Cathy die.

I placed my hand near the top of Cathy’s left breast, right where the first mark was.

Then I poured magic there.

Thud.

Cathy’s heart jumped.

Immediately after, her heart began beating regularly and rhythmically.

Gradually, the pale skin began to gain a reddish tint.

"That’s enough. Hiroyuki-sama, please retrieve the magic you poured into Cathy. If you leave it like this, you will reach climax at the same time she wakes up."

Ah, I see. Giving my magic to the first mark meant exactly that.

I retrieved the magic inside Cathy into my palms.

"Haa."

Now, Cathy would be revived.

Thank goodness.

Really, thank goodness.

When I relaxed, my legs lost strength.

I collapsed onto the floor.

"Hiroyuki-sama? Hiroyuki-sama!"

"Ah, ah. I’m fine. I just got drained of energy."

"Haa. I see. Then, please rest on the other bed. Tiria and I will sleep together tonight."

"Thank you. I’ll do that. Cathy is..."

"She’s already fine in that state. Just wait for her to wake up."

"I see. Thank goodness. Helene, thank you too."

"It’s nothing. Rest well."

I timed it so that Helene would go out of the room after I got into the bed.

I turned my face sideways and saw Cathy’s face.

Cathy was breathing quietly in her sleep.

Rest well, Cathy.

I closed my eyes and immediately let go of consciousness.

......

"Hiroyuki-sama... ah, thank goodness. Really, thank goodness."

Someone whispered in my ear.

Who... I could tell right away.

"Cathy...?"

"...... I woke you...."

"I woke up myself."

"Ufufu. Thank you very much."

Cathy smiled.

I sat up.

Cathy was kneeling on the floor, resting her hand on the bed where I had been sleeping.

"Hiroyuki-sama, are you okay from your injuries?"

"Injuries?"

I... ah, yes. I had been hit in the right shoulder and struck in the abdomen.

When I touched my shoulder or moved my right arm, there was no pain at all.

My abdomen also didn’t hurt.

"...... It seems I’m fine."

"Tiria-san healed you, didn’t she? Thank goodness."

I see. I needed to thank her later.

"Is Cathy better now?"

"Yes. Hiroyuki-sama... um, my Master... brought me back to life, didn’t you?"

"Ah, yes."

"Then, I... am Master’s Dule?"

"Ah, reluctantly, yes."

"...... Reluctantly?"

"Ah, it’s reluctant. I was even thinking about whether to get married properly."

"Eh?... um, that’s..."

"Even so, being a Dule is very reluctant."

"Um... but... I... that’s right... my body... was dirtied..."

"Haa. Even if it’s reluctant, Cathy is my Dule."

"But I..."

"If it’s dirtied, I’ll dirty it with mine and fix it. I’ll dirty you, dirty you, and dirty you thoroughly."

"Master is not dirty! Master is... Master is... please wash me with Master’s. Please ruin me completely. Ruin me more than those guys. And... and, please make me forget......."

Cathy stood up while crying.

Her completely naked appearance was the same as the one I had seen in the next room earlier.

She was not dirty anywhere.

But even so, if that meant Cathy could be forgotten.

"I understand. I’ll be the one who violates you."
