赤い縛め

Crimson Admonition

Nozomi: Kei......

Like a cat coming to sit on my lap, a soft weight closes over me.

Not heavy enough to be called heavy, but I am unable to brush it off.

Nozomi: Ufufu, so smooth. A world of difference from last night's prey. You truly are a feast.

Nozomi-chan runs her nails over my thigh, emerged from my jostled yukata.

Nozomi: That thick, delicious blood is coursing under there.

Kei: Ita!

With slowly increasing force, her nails dig strongly, deeply into my skin.

Nozomi: Oh dear...... I forgot to erase your pain, didn't I?

Mikage: Nee-sama. The nature of blood changes with fear and pain.

Nozomi: That's right. In times where you are driven into a corner, the power becomes stronger, does it not?

Mikage: Living sacrifices must be kept conscious as long as possible.

Nozomi: Yes. You can do that, right, Kei? After all, being the last of your lineage, you are the greatest sacrificial descendent.

Mikage: ...as you are an owner of the Nie no Chi.

Kei: Ita!...... That hurts......

Nozomi: But, you aren't even bleeding yet, you know.

She releases her buried nails and traces the skin with the soft underbelly of her finger, checking for the presence of hot, sticky liquid as she speaks.

Kei: Uuu...... please stop......

Nozomi: As if we would stop because you say so...

Nozomi: If a fish on your plate begged for its life, would you stop eating it?

Kei: I would, I think. I'd feel sorry for it.

Nozomi: Fufu...... Ahahahaha!

Kei: W-why are you laughing?

Nozomi: Does one need a reason to laugh? Though if I were to say, I laugh because it's funny!

Nozomi: Hmph, of all things, "feel sorry?" For who? You? You, who shattered the laws of predation?

Kei: Not a fish being eaten, but me......?

Nozomi: Even if you can eat creatures killed by other humans, you don't eat things you kill yourself, do you?

Kei: That is...... I would never.....

Nozomi: I kill to eat. I threw away my human flesh and became an oni to live, after all.

Mikage: Nee-sama, once human, now makes humans her daily bread.

Nozomi: That's right.

Closing toward my face, the small mouth slowly opens.

Nozomi: That is why... I won't listen to your pleas for life.

The white, tapered canines glisten malevolently as her tongue licks over them.

Closer, ever closer. The blood-sucking mouth moves ever closer.

Press circle once more and then check your divergence map.
