「My, oh my, you heard what I just said.」

「Muh, muh!」

A man and a woman were left on the ground there with their hands and feet bound. The man’s entire body was shredded, and it was a wonder he was still breathing. The woman had been stripped naked and had been beaten up. Her legs were marked with a number five, and her inner thighs were covered with blood. They were man and woman who were「killing time」as Zemus and his group traveled and were snatched from the tribes in the area. They caught the two whispering their love away from the village.

「Now… what should I do? What do you want me to do?」

The female monk removes the gag from the bound woman. The woman’s appearance is still innocent. The woman’s eyes fill with tears as she pleads for help.

「Please… give us back. Please… please…」

「That’s a request I can’t hear. You will die here. It’s not nice of you to talk about us so openly.」

「No, I won’t tell anyone!」

「I don’t trust them. And in any case, the man won’t be saved anymore. Even for you, what are you going to do if you get that filthy? You will no longer be useful as a woman. After all, yesterday you with a magical beast—— I’m sure it is.」

「Whose fault is that… uuh, guh…」

The woman begins to sob aloud. The monk watches her with sadness in his eyes. But what comes out of her mouth are not gentle words.

「If you are broken by that much, well, you must be just like that. You must have been unlucky with the spirits, and give up.」

「No, how cruel…」

「It’s tedious by nature, and I’d keep it in one breath…」

The female priestess glanced around. Then, perhaps smelling the bloody man’s scent, monsters were gathering around them. Moreover, in the lead is a magical beast called a Velvet Ape. The monk, perhaps thinking better of it, begins to undress and strips naked, then undresses the dying man and straddles him at the waist.

「What are you…」

「If you’re going to die, at least make yourself useful to me.」

She then clamped up the man’s legs so tightly that his legs were discolored and forced her to use magic to manipulate the man’s blood flow. Then, while tightening the man’s neck, she began to swing her hips.

「Fufu, this is nice… after all, it’s at that moment when we are about to die that our souls shine the best.」

「Stop! I beg you to stop!」

「How about it, isn’t it exciting to see the man you love being defiled and dying in front of your eyes…?」

The monk looked down at the woman with a bewitching smile. The woman looked back at him with a frightened look in her eyes and a hatred that could not be greater.

「You, you… What a filthy being… curse you a hundred times over!」

「Unfortunately, I am a monk, so curses don’t work on me. I have the blessing of the spirits.」

「Why would the spirits choose someone like you…」

「Oh my, the spirits aren’t equal to everyone. Especially my spirit. Don’t you know that?」

The female monk answers with a giggle and a smile. The woman looks at her and looks back at her with a look that could kill someone with her eyes alone.

「Great, I’m getting excited… please keep looking at me as you are… along with the monkeys. Oh, don’t take your eyes off him. If you take your eyes off this man, I will kill him immediately. And then you will have killed him.」

「Guh, kuh, kuh…」

And the female monk’s inhumane and miserable acts continued slowly, mellowly, and for a long time. Whenever the younger man was about to die, his life was linked by restorative magic, and he was kept alive only for the pleasure of the female monk. But eventually he can’t even convulse anymore, he just gives out. Then the monk stood up as if she had lost interest at once, prepared herself and tried to leave the place.

Seeing this, the woman shouts.

「Kill me as well!」

「I decline. I am no longer interested in you.」

「What did you say?」

「Besides, you’ll be right after the guy. The Velvet Ape is just around the corner.」

「Eh…」

The woman was incensed, but when she looked behind her, a large number of monkeys entered her field of vision and her face instantly paled. She began to rattle and shake as she imagined what the monk was thinking after this.

「H–How far would you go as a human…」

「Ahh, come to think of it…」

The female monk claps her hands.

「Velvet Ape kills human women while raping them. It will take many nights. If you want to get comfortable quickly, you might want to lose your sanity. That’s my advice. Oh, but you are properly broken because you were overrun by magical beasts, so on the contrary, you might last longer.」

「I’d rather they did that to me!」

The woman tries to bite her tongue, but a moment later the female monk puts a stuffing in her mouth. Then, politely.

「Ahh, I won’t let you do that! Suicide is a mortal sin. You won’t find peace in death.」

「Muh—! Muh—!!」

「Now I must leave… I pray to the spirits that you may have a peaceful death.」

The female priestess gripped the accessory on her chest and prayed, no longer looking at it. The woman sprawled on the ground, but the restraints were tight and showed no sign of coming off.

Then, a moment after the female monk left the scene, she thought she heard a loud cry of agony, but it was quickly drowned out by the roars of the monkeys.

A short time later, the female monk joined Zemus and the others.

「You’re late.」

「Yes, I’ve had a lot of fun.」

「You’re a hell of a woman, you know that?」

「Why don’t you join us for some fun once in a while?」

The female monk answers the words of her companions with a smile. It’s hard to believe that she had done cruel things until now.

「I don’t mind if you don’t mind, you know?」

「Don’t do it. You risk your life to attack this person. Even my strength almost killed me. You won’t last.」

「Ehh～」

「Only Zemus-sama is fine with me. Right, Hero-sama?」

But Zemus still only smiled and said nothing.

That night. Screams started coming from a certain village, and the screams didn’t cease for more than a week. After the screams disappeared, there was not even a trace of human presence in the village.
