.. ... ... ... Are you awake, Master?
Heh... You seem very tired.
Yes. A lot has happened. Please lend me your leg. Please lie down here.
... ... Do you see that, Master?
Those fragile lives gradually weakening.
Those pitiful lives, oblivious to their impending doom.
Like insects drawn to a flame, laughable. Heh... What a comical sight.
... ... Do you remember, Master?
When I first met you, I trembled with fear.
If I hadn't met you, I would probably be no different from them.
Meeting you, Master, is the greatest fortune of my life.
... ... ... What a pity, Master.
Redemption was so close, a new world within reach.
Yet, this tiny gap caused our failure.
I'm sorry, Master. Our strength was ultimately insufficient.
...Are you tired, Master?
Heh. Yes. Just a little...sleep.
You don't need to worry. Because I will be by your side.
May you sleep peacefully, my dear Master.
...My beloved God, my Master.
As if you would never wake again, you are fast asleep.
Your feverish body temperature and throbbing pulse are all frozen, unfelt.
It seems you...are truly exhausted...Yes...Please rest well. I will wait until you wake up.
Until the end of the world...I will always be by your side.
So...please rest in peace, my beloved God.
...Only crimson eyes, fixed on the bed, flickered in the darkness of the room.
From the moment her master and companion fell unconscious, Lisbeth had watched them with a loving smile.
Lisbeth remained silently by their side, as if waiting for something, simply gazing intently.
After an unknown amount of time, in the darkness where only the crimson eyes flickered, a pair of blue eyes quietly emerged.
"...Hehe...♡Awake? Kleia?"
Lisbeth asked in a gentle voice, as if calling to a close friend.
Hearing this voice, the blue eyes turned to look at her.
Claya's eyes were incredibly clear and bright. But their shape was slightly different from before.
Originally, they were hazy, unfocused, transparent blue eyes. But now, Kleia's eyes, gazing at Lisbeth...were horizontal pupils, like those of some wild beasts...without any white showing.
Kleia's eyes, now resembling her master's, blinked. She silently gazed at Lisbeth and straightened up. "Hmm... Nice to meet you? Or... Long time no see? I don't know which greeting to use."
"Hehe... Yes. What a wonderful encounter, Liz." The two females gazed at each other, quietly giggling as if in a mischievous play.
As they exchanged a strange, indescribable look, Lizbet smiled and gazed into Clya's eyes.
"Hehe...♡ Hmm. Looks like you received a nice gift. How does it feel?"
"Haa...♡ It's... wonderful. Liz. I never expected something like this...♡" Clya, trembling slightly in a daze, blinked her blue, horizontal pupils at Lizbet.
"Ah...♡ Liz's face. So this is what she looks like...♡ She's so beautiful. Liz♡"
"I never expected to have eyes similar to Master's. How enviable, Clya♡"
"Hehe...♡ Although I can see quite a lot." After saying this, Clya quietly looked to her side... She gently stroked her face, gazing at her master with a blissful expression. "Ah…♡Master…♡I never imagined you could be so dashing…♡So handsome…♡" Looking at Shimo, Kleia gently kissed his cheek and smiled.
Kleia, as if examining something, quietly narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Shimo's body.
She quickly smiled again, stroking Shimo's body as she said,
"…It seems Master will need some time to awaken."
"Yes. After all…Master isn't used to these things yet."
"Yes…there's still a long way to go."
As if by prior agreement, the two females looked at each other and nodded gently.
"Then…while Master is asleep, how about we exchange information? What do you think, Kleia? How are you feeling right now?" Lisbeth's pupils grew even more crimson, and her face became more serious.
Meanwhile, Kleia thoughtfully rested her chin on her hand, then shook her head with a regretful expression after a moment of distress, saying:
"Yes...it's still far from enough. That's quite..."
"...Indeed...Master is the same..."
"To prepare for that time, we're still lacking too much...what we really need now is..." The two females, sighing and showing regret, exchanged a silent glance before smiling.
It wasn't a simple smile of joy or happiness, but a chilling smile of plotting something evil.
The crimson eyes and the blue-green beastly pupils shone with an increasingly sinister light as their smiles met.
"...It has to be done, right?"
"Yes, it has to be done."
"Master, are you still feeling strained?"
"Hehe. It's alright. Because that's just our master's personality."
"The problem is, can Master's current body handle it..."
"It's not perfect, but I think it can do something to a certain extent now. Why not just start and gradually improve?"
"Yes. We also need to choose the next candidate. Who's suitable?"
"Hehe...I remember a few suitable candidates for Radia...probably..." As the conversation deepened, the wickedness in the two females' eyes grew increasingly intense.
Their wicked conversation continued until sunrise.
...
"Ugh...my head hurts so much..." Accompanied by a hangover-like headache, I opened my eyes as the sunlight streamed in.
Oh my god. Is it already morning? I vaguely remembered last night, wondering what had happened to me.
The moment I saw Claire drink all my horse semen, a sudden wave of intense sleepiness washed over me.
Clearly… this is very similar to the experience Lisbeth had when she submitted to me.
What exactly was that…? Experiencing it once is one thing, but twice does feel a bit strange… What I did last night was also incomprehensible… Strange questions kept popping into my head, and I even made them drink my horse semen mixed with blood.
Why would I do such a thing?
These are questions I would think of, perhaps I just said them offhand… but what exactly is the point of drinking the mixed blood?
At first, I just thought it was a special constitution and didn't pay much attention, but it seems this matter needs to be investigated thoroughly…
"Are you awake, Master?"
Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Claire and Lisbeth kneeling before me under the bed.
Completely naked except for collars, the two obediently clasped their hands together and looked up at me.
…Good heavens. To receive such a grand gesture first thing in the morning.
Lisbeth, who was chuckling happily, and Claire, who was looking at me with a dazed expression… Huh?
"…Kreya…?"
"Yes♡Master♡"
"Th-th, the eyes…"
"Heh…♡" No, heavens.
Those eyes…my…Demon Eyes?
Although the pupil color is different, those horizontal pupils are clearly the eyes of a demon…
"Please allow me to reintroduce myself. I am Neris Kreya, reborn as Master's female slave♡"
As she spoke, Kreya bowed to me again, her forehead touching the ground.
Heavens…could it be…Kreya is like Lisbeth…
"After becoming Master's female slave, I was terrified to receive new eyes bestowed upon me by Master. Master is the god who gave me light…♡Thank you so much. Master♡"
Ah, no…I never gave her anything like that…Compared to this…Kreya's aura…why is it so chilling…?
Her smiling expression is as kind as before…but I feel like Kreya's entire aura has changed.
"From now on, I will dedicate everything to my master, using this body to satisfy his needs. Please…please enjoy it to your heart's content…♡"
Unlike Lisbeth then, now, through these eyes called the Mystic Eyes, I can see something different.
So I'm certain. The Clya standing before me now is definitely different from the Clya of yesterday.
A color similar to Lisbeth…no, to be precise, a color that feels similar to mine.
Clearly, Clya has changed. The once gentle Clya has transformed into something chilling.
Staring blankly at Clya, I realized it wasn't that Clya's color had become similar…but rather, the instant my color was absorbed into her.
The chilling feeling vanished, leaving only the certainty that Clya had become my female…I trembled with overwhelming joy.
