Chapter 112 [Bonus ] 112: RE: Ayami
The small village seemed to have increased since he last visited; now, the Vesta would come to visit for him if needed.
They created a new system, and the [Lamb of the Day] would be chosen to go to the village to buy things with coins for him, thus getting her [Confessional] later that night.
'It's more like a town now, there are so many new faces, but they are not humans... How does this thing work?'
"Where do they come from...?" Alexander asked himself as he walked aimlessly, bumping into someone's soft body before she wrapped around him and took distance, looking at him with an aggressive gaze at first.
Yet he noticed her body relaxing and lowering her defensive pose upon seeing him.
"Ayami, was it?"
"Alexander, lord of the female devils?"
"Hmmm, what's that strange title?"
Alex relaxed, resting his hand on his chin, stroking it in contemplation. This title is not something in his status screen...
-Gained Title "Lord of She-Devils"
'Talk about coincidental.'
"It's the name most travellers and humans have been giving your little "lambs" they sometimes preach about your great deeds and splendour. I hear that kind of guild receptionist with the antennae is an avid listener; it made so many guys jealous, even Chu Feng... Haha, that guy was almost ready to kill himself."
"Haha, well, that's always amusing... Speaking of which, how are you? Is everything going well? I assume you are dying for me to mention Himari, right?"
"!?"
The instant he mentioned her, Alex noticed her body shudder and her face becoming anxious as she took deep breaths. It was almost like she feared the worst, the darkness on her face growing as she looked towards him desperately.
"You can rest easy; Himari didn't become one of those zombies."
"Ahhhh!!! REALLY!? I'm so glad... Himari... Himari... big sister was so worried, she was so useless... Is she okay? Can I meet her? Will you take care of her?" Ayami's rapid-fire questions began to shoot towards him.
Regardless, Alex merely lifted his hand, closing her lips with a single finger, her eyes widening as she looked at him, realising she was too loud and shouting at his face.
Ayami quickly grasped his hand, gently tugging it on his body. Alex didn't feel any danger and had some time before he needed to rush back, although he loved Stella and wanted to get back to her. Ayami was Himari's flesh and blood; that cute Oni girl couldn't be made to cry, either.
'Stella knows my heart; let's give Ayami some peace and the small message from Himari.'
She slowly pulled him towards a new part of town, filled with makeshift stone and wood buildings; they were not horrible but weren't good either.
He could see many people who looked like his fellow countrymen standing outside with bleak faces as they heated meat scraps over a fire; their eyes towards him and Ayami were ones of terror.
It seemed they were terrified of her as some of them came over with half-cooked meat in their hands.
"Big sis' we've got some fresh rat meat... would you like to have some?"
"Sis' we managed to kill a few of those creatures and have a few coins... can you help us enter the church to get an occupation?"
'These grown men are grovelling to this cute girl; why? Is she powerful... Is it because of Chu Feng? Interesting.'
Suddenly, her voice, which was usually soft and gentle, became rough and with a vulgar tone.
"Why you askin' me go ask that fucker to take you. He's strong enough to help you reach level 10 easily, useless trash."
"Ah... master Chu Feng... He is with his mistress..."
"We didn't want to disturb..."
"What disturb? He's fucking impotent, and it's tiny."
"!!!"
Her shout caused the distant men to cower, rushing away from the open fire in a small braiser and entering the makeshift houses like a slum shanty town.
"Really!? Big brother... such a shame..."historical
"Big sis' who is this?"
They asked, seeing the tall man as beautiful and ethereal as an elf; most misunderstood, he was some elf due to his ears and soft pale skin. Since they heard that Chu Feng was impotent, seeing one of his supposed women walking around with such a handsome guy.
The men could only imagine she would make Chu Feng a cuckold and began to snicker at the man who made them cower in fear daily just for being weaker and less attractive than he was.
"Oh... I see; big sis' also has her needs, and a small man like Chu Feng can't provide..."
"Eh?" Ayami almost gasped in her cute voice before she recovered instantly.
Alexander felt her grasping his hand, a warm and soft palm tightly clenching his, her fingers brushing against his as she acted like the [Big Sister] and puffed out her chest with a confident face.
"Of course, this guy, my man. It's no secret, though; feel free to gossip. Now go enjoy your meat; he's all I need right now." She said with confidence, grasping at Alexander's crotch to reveal she did have more than enough meat for both her full hand and the men watching in envy.
"Yes, big sis' we'll go eat!"
The men seemed happy she didn't take any of their food; honestly, Ayami was kind to them. Thus, they spoke well of her, and she also helped them when possible; now, all of them were level 9, at least, thanks to her efforts.
"Did you see that guy's dick!?"
"Ah... I'm glad that bastard who treats us like dirt is getting made into a cuckold... fuck him."
"He stole our pork the other night... we fought against those strange monsters..."
As they walked away, the conversation became distant and quiet while Alexander looked down at the red-faced Ayami, who still placed her hand on his crotch before slowly turning to look at him.
"You.... er.... don't stuff that with socks and a ham, right?" Her speech was still rough, as Alex found it amusing, shaking his head.
"Why not just put your hand inside and find out if curious?"
His voice was deep and the usual one he used to tease and play with his little lambs and Vesta; it seemed to work on this cute eastern girl, too, as she quickly let go of bright red, pushing him into one of the small wooden huts.
The room wasn't large or minor, around 3 metres each way, with a small kitchen and bathroom on the eastern wall; it was a primitive toilet, with the church's help, to give them some form of hygiene.
Ayami began to look apologetic as this room smelt very musky; the scent was her body odour due to the lack of luxuries; only a thin bar of soap remained in her collection. Thus when she went hunting daily, sometimes she would avoid using it and only use water in the small magical shower.
"I'm sorry... it stinks..." Her nose twitched the sweet scent with a hint of sourness entering their noses.
"Don't worry; your scent is delicious for men like me."
Alex didn't speak any more nonsense and sat down on the small bed, its base squeaking loud as he did so, bouncing on the shoddy but passable mattress.
She felt glad he didn't complain and walked to his side, dropping onto the bed like a child and lying beside him as she took a deep breath; several moments passed as she continued to breathe as if preparing herself.
"Himari..."
He didn't speak, only taking out a small crystal from his suit pocket; the glistening purple sphere began to hover above his palm before he placed it on the wooden desk beside her bed, suddenly a large projection showed in the space above her floor as the sphere swirled around.
"Ah... Big sister? Are you there.... test... Dear lord... is it recording?" Himari's cute voice sounded through the speaker as her big eyes fluttered, moving closer as if she was observing the orb.
"Of course, it is, my cute Himari... now you speak to your sister. I'll let you have some privacy."
"No...no.. stay okay? I will be too shy if you leave.... please?"
Ayami sat up the moment the voice sounded, it was a little different from the girl she knew, but it was her for sure, just a little cuter and more enchanting!
"H...Himari?"
In the image, a girl with fabulous hair, cut in an Eastern princess style, her fringe cut across her eyes just over her eyebrows that were short, small and bushy.
An authentic Eastern princess beauty.
Himari's lashes fluttered as she took deep breaths, the image made it seem like she was looking at Ayami, but in truth, she was looking at Alex; her misty red eyes were watching him and soothed by his presence as her red horn shimmering in the light, and silky hair moved in the gentle breeze.
Her bare feet stepped onto the solid wood with a fleshy sound as she stepped closer to the image, her fully grown breasts and shortened height now visible.
The silken black hair cascaded like magic through the air, floating around her as she finally showed a soft smile.
'That's my cute Himari!'
"Dear sister, you must be surprised by my changes, right?"
"I hope you don't get angry or blame my dearest lord if it wasn't for him. I would now be a filthy corpse roaming and shambling with no sense of self."
"Aya-nee... Do you remember when Mother told us the stories about our kingdom's past, the past of our ancestors..."
"It seems Mother wasn't lying, hehe~ look at my cute horn... it's what my beloved lord gifted to me. So don't worry! Now I am stronger than before, my face... do you know darling said I was pretty before... even before I changed! His kiss was the only thing that kept me from giving up on that bitter pain... Himari is happy, Aya-nee... I hope you can one day be like me... so we can beat up that bad guy, make him impotent and throw him to some horny male wolves to ravage his ass! Fuck! Hahahaha!"
"Ahem... sorry, sometimes I get a little excited... don't be mad or scold me, Aya-nee... I hope to see you soon, my dearest doesn't let me go to the village until I can protect myself for sure... he's so protective of us all... hehe~ but he kisses me on the horn if I am a good girl! It feels so good... like he's kissing me...."
It seemed like she noticed Alexander was watching her, as the video show's the cute Himari blushing deeply, and looking away, shaking her head, whispering, "Himari isn't a lewd girl." causing Ayami to laugh, remembering the first time she caught her naughty little sister masturbating before the end happened.
After this, Himari began listing the things she did daily, some of her thoughts, and once again spoke about Alexander often, forgetting he was standing there as she was interrupted by her realisation several times.
Still watching the video, her voice sounded... a small cry, whisper... but it showed her appreciation and delight.
"Alexander... Thank you.... for bringing back my sister.... this is the Himari I lost the day our father devoured Mother before our eyes... Thank you...Thank you... I thank you....!"
Her eyes filled with tears as she climbed to the floor, bowing to him like Himari on the day she awakened, her forehead bumping the concrete, a small red mark as her snot and tears began to make a small pool on the ground.
Alexander didn't interrupt her, his face neutral.
But the desire to save both sisters only increased. He wanted Ayami to belike Himari, to desire and ask for it herself. However, he refused to force it.
So, for now, he would support and protect her from the shadows, secretly and subtly.
It took almost 20 minutes before Ayami stopped, her face now a mess, as Alexander took several things from his item storage, a clean cloth and a handkerchief.
"These are self-cleaning; once you throw them in water, they will clean fully or automatically take an hour to clean. Wipe your pretty little face; you look like a drowned cat." He said gently, brushing the mess off her face as she sat stunned; the mighty man didn't show displeasure or leer at her.
His faint smile and gentle touch caused her to feel the warmth. After cleaning her, he placed a transparent sphere on the desk, a small black circle pointed towards Ayami.
"This will allow you to record a message; once it's full, it will turn purple. So how about you record a message for Himari? She is probably waiting for a reply too."
She might not be a Vesta or his ghoul, but Ayami was the sister of his priestess. How could he treat her coldly?
Thus he helped her record a message for Himari and comforted her when she broke down into tears and began to wail and moan, her bed squeaking for almost an hour in the process, which caused many of the humans outside to misunderstand.
A happy miscalculation on Alexander's part.
