Ten strong men emerged from the forest, f a semicircle around the coabsp;

  None of these men were equipped in the exact same way. Still, while they were not masterworks, their equipment was not of poor make.

  The casual way in which they were discussing how to deal with their target and the order in which they would go sounded like they already had their prey in the bag. Ihey had dohis sort of thing tless times in the past. It would be strange if they had felt worried.

  They brandished their ons so their prey could see if they so peeked through the curtains c the windows. It was a wordless warning; If they do not e out quickly, they would be in trouble.

  In but a few moments, the coach doors slowly opened. And a… girl who might be sidered “little” showed up, revealing herself.

  Her silvery hair gleamed in the moonlight, and her dewy, crimson eyes held a seductive radianbsp;

  The bandits could only gasp at the sight of such beauty, uo so much as muster up the words for praise. In this moment, even their bestial lust shrank away in the face of true beauty.

  They were hoping to find some beautiful dy of nobility, a high css o that given the information they’ve gotten from the an, Zack. And they seemed to hit the jackpot.

  They’ve never seen a woman more beautiful than this before. They doubted that even the golden princess, who was rumored to possess unparalleled beauty, would hold a dle to this “girl” before them.

  All of them stood in awed daze, except for one.

  While he was also shocked at her beauty, something more important took his attention.

  Who was she?

  Zack had never seen this beauty before. However, the coach was very familiar to him, and the trast betweewo plunged Zato fusion a him

  speechless.

  Shalltear smiled lewdly as she bathed ihralled gazes of the men. It was simply natural, after all. She, who was created to belong to Yuuji-sama, should possess an awe-inspiring appearance, worthy of being his pything, his cumdumpster, and his beloved.

  She advanced unguardedly before them and said:

  “Gentlemen, thank you for ing all this way here for me. May I know who your leader is? May I iate with him?”

  All the bandits look towards the same person, giving Shalltear the answer she wao know. This only meant ohing; everyone else here was expendable.

  “...What do you want to talk about?”

  The man who became the ter of attention seemed to have e to his senses after his close enter with such a beauty. He strode forward.

  “Ah, please five the misuanding. What I meant by ‘iations’ was just a joke for me to learn what I o know.”

  “Who are you…?”

  Shalltear looked to Zack, who asked that question.

  “You must be that Zack fellow… I will give you to Solution as promised, so could you please step aside for a while?”

  Some of the bandits sought an answer for their fusion in each others’ faces. However, among them…

  “Hmph! You’ve got a good body for a brat, don’t you?! And that pristine face… I’d love to see your tears and my cum staining it!

  The bandit who happeo be standing in front of Shalltear reach out to grope that ample bust of hers, which did not match her age.

  Then, the appeumbled to the ground.

  “...How dare you try and touch what belongs to Him.”

  The dumbfounded man looked at his now handless arm, and after a moment’s dey, a wail filled the entire area of the darkened road.

  “AAAAAHHHHHH! My, my haaaaaaaaaaand–!”

  The smile on Shalltear’s face disappeared. Her eyes gring at the wailing man, who was holding onto his bloody stub.

  “And now you’re screeg like a pig… Hmph, know that you are lucky to die painlessly after daring to touch my body which belonged solely to Him.”

  Shalltear casually flicked her hand as she muttered quietly, and the man’s head fell to the earth as well.

  How had she chopped his head off with her unarmed, dainty and slender hands? The nightmare before them hardly seemed real. The bandits were terrified beyond all capacity for rational thought, uo rea the wake of this tremendous shock. However, what they saw shem back to their senses.

  The fresh blood spurting from the severed portions of the body moved as though it had a will of its own, gathering above Shalltear’s head and f an orb of blood that eclipsed the moon in the sky.

  Shalltear and those within the coaew this was the effect of the skill called [Blood Pool]. However, the first thing these clueless bandits thought as they saw this

  inhuman ability was:

  “She’s a magic caster!”

  Anyone who uood magic should have been able to give a more accurate

  warning. “Magic casters” was a very broad term which referred to many professions and jobs, and the means of dealing with them were just as varied. In particur, one might think of Shalltear — who only wore a dress — as an are magic caster, or perhaps a spiritual magic caster. However, none of them spoke a warning like that. One could thus clude that none of them knew anything about magi other words, they thought of anything they could not uand as magic.

  As Shalltear realized this, all i she had at these panig bandits, who desperately raised their swords against her, disappeared.

  From her shadows, tire brides arose.

  “Go. this mess up. Also, leave this one and that one… uood?”

  ““Yes, Shalltear-sama.””

  age.

  In just a few moments, wails of grown men echoed throughout the woods. Bodies fell to the ground, while their blood moved towards the orb of blood in the air above Shalltear’s head, leaving a lifeless, dried up husk.

  Zack could only smile stiffly as he watched the horrific sight before him.

  He wao vomit as he smelled teh blood which came from the age before him.

  Men had their hands aorn off like scraps of paper, and skulls popped between paired hands like ripe pomegranates.

  A breastpte was ripped off and a hand stabbed into the now-exposed belly. When it came back out, it took several meters of gleaming, slippery iih it. The fact that the victim was still alive after that spoke of the resilienankind.

  A man was squirming on the ground, trying to flee even with both legs broken. White spikes — his broken bones — protruded through his skin and flesh. He was desperately trying to craith his hands, struggling to get himself away from the source of this horror, wanting to stay alive for just one moment longer.

  The beautiful girl looked at the man groveling at her feet, and her shrill ugh was unpleasant.

  How had things ended up like this…?

  Zack thought as hard as he could.

  His hand instinctively reached for the shortsword he had hidden inside his clothing. But even then, it gave him minimal fort.

  Why was his sword so small? How could it possibly stand up to these monsters which could twist off men’s arms so effortlessly?

  Zack hugged himself, as though trying to ceal his presenbsp;

  The monsters were simply choosing not to attack him at the moment… If he tried to flee, they would most likely do something that would make him regret such hasty decision.

  Something painful… and nausea-indug, for instanbsp;

  Just who was she? Zack did nhat silver-haired girl at all. He would’ve definitely reized such beauty if he saw her before, but no matter how much his rattling mind struggled to jog the memories out to the surfaothing came to mind.

  And just as he thought about that —

  “Zack-san, e this way.”

  —A gentle, dulcet voice came from behind him, pletely at odds with the cruel sery in front of him.

  A familiar voice…

  Zack looked fearfully behind himself, and saw the maid, the one apanying the old butler, standing before him.

  Her expression did not match the haughty and argumentative maid that he knew her for. If he had been calm enough, he might have felt suspicious about this, and perhaps attempted to ect the dots that she might be the silver-haired girl’s maid.

  But Zack — who had been driven into fusion by this bizarre world and the stink of blood — had no energy left to suspeything.

  “What are those monsters?!” Zack wailed, his voice crag, at Solution, the maid who seemed to be of nobility herself and who knew nothing of the world.

  “Why didn’t you tell me there were monsters like these around?!”

  Indeed. If he had known about this beforehand, things would not have ended up like this. The bitch before him was responsible for the frightening se before him.

  “Don’t keep quiet, speak up! Let’s get this straight, this is all your fault!”

  Ay and terror bio impel him forward, and a furious Zack could no longer bear it. He reached out to grab Solution by the colr and roughly shook her.

  “...I uand. Please follow me.”

  “You… are you going to save me?!”

  “No, I simply wish to take this st ce to enjoy you.”

  An ivory-pale hand, cold as ice, gripped Zack’s own. Softly, ever so gently. A stark trast to how the haughty maid had acted before.

  “You… What are you doing?”

  “What do you think?”

  Her eyes suddenly dark… The bright, shimmering shine in the eyes of the young, i dy who knew nothing of the world disappeared right before him.

  All he could see… was the eyes of a monster, on par with the cruel beasts that were tearing up men like dolls behind him.

  He instinctively tried to pull his hands away, but her hands – with an unholy amount of strength impossible for such a lithe pair of arms – did not let go.

  Then… his entire hand sank into hers.

  Zack thought for a moment that her body was so soft that it felt as though his entire hand had goo her. But as he looked at his hand, he realized that this was not the case.

  Zack’s hand had literally sunk into Solution’s arms.

  “What… what the hell is this!”

  Zack screamed in surprise and tried to pull his hand back, but he could not budge it. Not only did it not move back, it was sucked further in. It seemed as though there were many writhiacles inside Solution which had tched onto Zack’s hand and were drawing him in.

  Solution’s beautiful face did not ge even uhese strange circumstances. She simply watched Za silence. Her expression was that of a stist watg as a b animal was ied with some lethal chemical, blending a cold dispassion with curiosity aement.

  Before being a succubus, Solution relished in abs her victims directly into her body. And at first, she wao absorb the unfortunate sap before her directly. But doing it that way would require him to touch her chest, which she found remely unpleasant.

  Having been grahe seed of lust and turned into a succubus, Solution was reborn both physically aally.

  She narded her succubi form more highly than her slime form, both to show respect to the Supreme Being who had granted her this new form and power, and because of her new ination towards fav beauty.

  And just like Aika, Albedo, and the rest of her sisters who had been turned into succubi, Solution had chosen Yuuji-sama as her “destined ohe moment she became a succubus.

  Her body was now sacred, and the only one who could touch her was her destined one.

  Evehought of letting someoher than Him touch her was simply unpleasant.

  “O-Oi, stop! Let go of me!”

  He yelled and yelled. A scream that now filled the now silent space as the shouts of agony of the men behind him disappeared.

  The unreal se of age behind him — fotteo his excitement — suddenly fshed through his mind.

  Zack choked back the impulse to scream.

  Eventually, it dawned upon him.

  The woman baring her chest to him before his eyes was also a monster.

  “Did you finally realize it? The’s begin the fun part, shall we?”

  As she said that, a pain like the stabbing of hundreds of needles radiated from his stuck hand.

  “Aaaahhhhh!”

  “I am now dissolving your hands.”

  Zack could not uand these cold words through the agony which gripped him. This was no longer in the realm of his prehension.

  “The truth is, I deeply enjoy watg things dissolve. Therefore, I felt it py ce that you wao be inside me, Zack-san.”

  “Giiiihh—!! Damned monster, go to hell!”

  “Unfortunately, only one being in this entire world is allowed to be inside me and cim my womanly body as his. While you… You’ll simply be a food for me to e~”

  “Who the hell are you?!”

  The agony in his hand was slowly spreading up the rest of his arm, but the fear

  of impendih overrode his pain, and Zack asked his question even as tears brimmed in his eyes.

  However, the answer made him want to stuff his fingers in his ears to deny it.

  “I am a predatory Slime. And a succubus as well. However, that side of me is only for Him. Now then, siime is limited, I will o swallow you up.”

  Zack’s arms were pulled into Solution’s body. So forceful was the su that Zack could not resist it, even if he were capable of doing so.

  “Stop stop stop stop stop! Spare me, spare me, spare me please!”

  Zack cried and begged, but the force drawing him into Solution’s body was still very strong, enough that a human being could not resist it. His arms, his shoulders, all of them were steadily devoured by her body.

  “Lilia!”

  With that st scream, Zack’s face was sucked into Solution’s body. pletely.
