Chapter 104: Sex Cult (Part 2)
"So you have a problem with me not being aggressive, is that it?!" Yuki sneered, glaring back at her. "How well did that work out between you and your boyfriend?!"
"Really? Bringing him up again?" Elena scoffed, rolling her eyes. "Are you jealous?"
"Of that broke loser? No, never in a million years! But you seemed to love him more than you ever loved me! Every time I did anything for you, it was a problem. But when he did it, it was a ’gift’—a ’good gesture to show he was growing,’ whatever that means!"
"You know, you were cooler when we first met," Elena countered bitterly. "Now you’re just so soft."
"Are you really mad that I became a functioning member of society?! Really?! I can’t with you," Yuki groaned, throwing his hands up in absolute exhaustion. "What do you actually want? Because I’m not doing this with you."
"What I want—"
"Is this about that time I comforted you during sex?" Yuki interjected sharply. "Are you still mad about that?!"
"Yes! It’s one of the many reasons!" Elena snapped. "Stop being so damn soft for once in your life! We are in a literal fantasy world, and I bet you still try to talk to your enemies to resolve things!"
"What am I supposed to do, just kill them?!"
"...Yeah! Of course!" she shouted back. "They are literally trying to kill you! And I don’t want to hear some bullshit about your humanity! You killed someone back on Earth, and you weren’t even shocked!"
"That was because of the brain injury!"
"Well, you’re not brain-damaged anymore, yet you’re still like that!"
"Oh, for fuck’s sake!" Yuki exhaled, rubbing his temples in pure frustration. "Tell me what you want or just leave! I have a job to do, and you’re getting in the way!"
"Oh, I’m getting in the way of your job? And what exactly is it?"
"What’s your assigned role, and what is your core ability?" Yuki asked, completely dodging her question.
"None of your concern. Now answer my question."
"Fuck you, Elena," Yuki growled. "I will do whatever the hell I want, and if you think I give a single shit about what you think, you can gargle on my dick! Until then, goodbye!"
Grabbing Kasumi’s hand, Yuki spun around and began walking away.
"Where are you going?! Come back and talk to me, you little shit!" Elena screamed behind them.
Yuki kept walking, refusing to utter another single word back to her.
"Sooo... um, Yuki? Can I ask you something?" Kasumi whispered nervously as they hurried down the corridor.
Without turning back, Yuki scoffed under his breath. "I know that you of all people had something to do with this. You love to see me flustered and squealing, but it’s not going to be fun for you much longer."
"Hey, no need to threaten me, okay?!" Kasumi squeaked, waving her hands defensively. "I was responsible for letting her know you were here, but I didn’t think you two hated each other this much! Also... why not just be strict with her? You’re more than capable of doing it, so why not?"
"She just wants me to be rough on her," Yuki sighed, shaking his head. "She’s just a horny woman who isn’t satisfied by anything and constantly complains."
"Well, it makes sense," Kasumi chuckled teasingly. "You’re a pushover, and you don’t do rough."
Hearing that, Yuki froze mid-step. He slowly turned around to face her, staring dead into her eyes.
"Why am I even being nice to either of you when you’re both absolute assholes?" Yuki muttered, his eyes narrowing. "I hope there isn’t a way to reach the deeper levels without me fucking your brains out."
"...Uhh, well! That’s... certainly something!" Kasumi stammered, taking a small step back. "By the way, where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to break down the door to the second floor?"
"Oh, I’m heading back to the elven guards to ask for one of those Succubus Seals," Yuki explained calmly. "I just realized that all the doors deeper down require Lust Energy since this is a sex cult base. Currently, I’m registered as a ’sacrifice,’ which won’t work. I can generate the energy, but I can’t store it without a seal."
"...Do you really think they’ll just let you walk up and grab one? Won’t they stop you?"
"I’m literally an elf if I hide my tail," Yuki grinned confidently. "Plus, I’m a sweet talker. I’ve got this. Just wait right here. Oh, and also—tell Elena that I’ll give her what she wants so much."
"So... do I head back to find her?"
"Oh, no. She’s been following us this entire time."
"..." Kasumi blinked in stunned silence.
"Well, I’m off!"
Yuki spun on his heel and cheerfully skipped back toward the guard post to secure a Succubus Seal.
Approaching one of the heavily armored elven guards at the sector checkpoint, Yuki flashed a polite smile. "Hey! Hi! Can I get a seal?"
The guard turned, staring down at him in confusion. "...Who are you, and how did you get in here?"
"Through the front gate," Yuki lied smoothly. "I was told my expertise was needed and that I’d be rewarded. Is this the right place?"
"Yes, it is... Do you even know what you’re supposed to do?"
"Yep! Drain the sacrifices, complete the required tasks listed on the doors, and use the accumulated Lust Energy to advance deeper into the facility, right?"
"Yeah, that’s the gist of it," the guard nodded. "Just know that over fifty percent of your acquired energy goes directly to the boss. You fine with that?"
"Totally am."
"Okay, nice. Follow me, and I’ll get you hooked up," the guard said, turning to lead the way down a side hall. "Walk over to any available room, pick a sacrifice, or bring anyone from your own party. Once they’re drained, take them to the medics—we don’t want them dying on us. Also, your libido and stamina are going to be boosted, so try not to overwork yourself."
"I won’t!" Yuki chirped.
The two walked in silence for a few moments.
"..."
"..."
"...Um, aren’t you going to ask any more questions? Like how much money you’ll make?" the guard asked, glancing back.
"Nope. I’ll learn that later," Yuki replied with an easygoing shrug. "You seem like you’re working really hard already and dealing with a lot, so I’ll just go at your pace. I’m in no rush."
The guard paused, letting out a breath. "Ha... A normal girl. Usually, the ladies are eager to get railed by some human knight or an oni, but you aren’t. It’s strange, but refreshing."
"Oh! I’m actually a guy," Yuki corrected cheerfully.
The elven guard stopped dead in his tracks, turning around to stare down at Yuki. "...You are?"
"Yep!"
"..." The guard stared at Yuki’s face, taking in his delicate features. "...Oh. A cute one, huh? Well, they do say the ladies love a soft man. My mom has the exact same taste—always bringing home some short flower boy as a pet. Sigh. Anyways, right this way."
