Before my eyes, middle-aged men wearing pig face skin with ball gags in their mouths were crying while imitating sows, and behind me, someone of unknown identity was kneading my breasts like dough. Setting aside the unpleasant feeling of hot breath touching my nape, I fell into a coma-like state from the extreme sexual harassment I was experiencing for the first time in my life.
“A peculiar specimen. Your belly isn’t protruding. Are you a young sow who can’t get pregnant yet?”
At the continuous sow-writing that was hard to hear with a sane mind, I felt my departed consciousness slowly returning. Compared to Ash’s soft body, which had been raised preciously under Lucius’s protection, the palm of this ruffian who had put his hand directly inside my clothes to stroke my belly was rough like sandpaper and painful.
The hand that continued exploring without caring about my reaction of trembling with anger and humiliation dug into my navel with its thumb.
“Ugh……”
“What’s this? Is it a hole for giving birth to babies?”
I twisted my body at the finger ruthlessly digging into my navel. My nape bristled at the unfamiliar pain. It was a touch like an elementary school student fiddling with a chick bought in front of school.
“Let go! Let go of this!”
I finally screamed at the finger that seemed like it would pierce through my navel and reach my organs any moment. I struggled to somehow escape from the embrace, but I couldn’t even get away because solid arms were holding my torso.
“I’m not a sow, I’m a human!”
“Human?”
“Yes, human!”
The moment I finally pushed away the arms and escaped from the embrace, I checked my navel. It had been dug into so hard that the area around my navel was swollen bright red. The moment I turned my head while fuming, I stopped.
‘Could it be……’
I unconsciously hesitated in surprise at the dark skin as if deeply tanned by the sun, golden eyes, and a boldly handsome face that suited his massive build. It was amazing to actually face a face you’d only see in foreign pictorials, but it was also a handsome face overflowing with wild beauty without being too cheesy.
Of course, to me he was just Psychopath #1.
Since I had no particular interest in Deus in human form rather than beast form, I opened my mouth in a trembling voice.
“Did you make those people like that?”
“No, I didn’t make them. They flowed in through a gap in the Void.”
“Those men aren’t sows either, they’re humans. You modified perfectly fine humans and made them into sows. You psychopath!”
I pointed at the sows lying prostrate with veins bulging in their necks. Deus, who had made a shocked expression for a moment, averted his gaze. And he said in an unconfident voice.
“They said sows have big breasts, so that’s definitely a sow.”
“They’re just fat middle-aged men.”
“They said sows are warm and sweat a lot, so that’s definitely a sow.”
“They’re just fat, sweaty middle-aged men.”
“Sows are……”
Deus, who had been acting like he had more to say, clamped his mouth shut. It seemed he had already run out of ammunition. One thing became certain. It was that Deus didn’t understand the common sense that was accepted in the outside world. I clenched my fists and broke out in a cold sweat at the speechless situation.
‘How am I supposed to make an ally out of someone who can’t distinguish between sows and humans?’
Deus, who had been making a hmm sound, approached the pseudo-sow who was crying miserably. Just after looking down at him trembling while lying prostrate for a moment, my eyes widened at Deus’s action of lifting one foot. The scene of Deus’s foot stomping down on the man’s head was seen in slow motion. With a thud! sound, blood and flesh splattered everywhere. Deus said in an indifferent voice.
“Sows are cute, but humans aren’t cute so I don’t like them. I like cute things.”
“……”
“So I’ll ask again.”
Deus, who had spun around toward me, smiled with a blood-soaked face. My gaze went to the corpse twitching with its head smashed. Deus, who had suddenly thrust his face forward, asked with lightless eyes.
“Are you a human or a sow?”
Thick drops of blood dripped down along Deus’s jawline. The places I had seen before coming here passed by like a flashback. The banquet hall where all the chairs were overturned, the corridor where windows densely filled the walls, the reception room packed full of faceless statues. Spaces created by a non-human being to imitate humans.
Cold sweat flowed at Deus’s persistent gaze that didn’t blink once. The moment I answered that I was human, I might also die with my head smashed like that man. After maintaining silence for a moment, I answered expressionlessly.
“Oink……”
“I knew it, right?”
To think the moment would come in my life when I’d introduce myself as a sow. The moment I answered while eating mustard with tears, Deus, whose expression brightened again, suddenly snatched and grabbed my wrist. And he said in a delighted voice.
“Let’s go, sow. It’s time for a walk.”
* * *
“This is corn.”
It was corn with human teeth stuck all over it instead of kernels.
“This is a goldfish.”
It was a goldfish with eyeballs covering its entire body.
“This is a puppy? I think.”
It was a larva the size of a newborn baby.
The Void world that Deus showed me was truly a series of shocks. Not a single thing was properly done. It was my speculation, but the library where all knowledge exists literally has all knowledge existing in it, so as Deus also absorbed all kinds of knowledge regardless of falsehood and truth, these bizarre creations far from the actual world were born, I thought.
“How is it? The world I made.”
Unlike Deus, who seemed to be in a good mood after the Void tour, my expression grew increasingly pale at the parade of creations that were hardly normal at all. It was because my physical condition kept getting worse strangely. At my appearance of stopping in place and coughing, Deus, who had been walking ahead, also stopped walking.
“This isn’t a real world.”
I breathed out with difficulty while bending my upper body forward. Perhaps because I had continuously seen illogical things, my stomach kept churning. The sound of Deus’s footsteps, who had been maintaining silence, gradually approached.
“Don’t you like it here? Should I make you some more sow friends?”
I didn’t even have the energy to retort, so I just silently crouched down in place. Deus, who had crouched down following me, poked one of my cheeks with his pinky finger. I snapped in an annoyed voice.
“The real world is much more beautiful than this world you’ve clumsily imitated, it’s natural.”
“Shut up, don’t answer what I didn’t ask. I don’t like insolent sows.”
The pinky finger that had been pressing my cheek now entered my nostril. With one nostril suddenly widened, I clamped my mouth shut. Deus, who had been chuckling while watching me like that, muttered.
“Baby sows are really small and cute.”
Deus, who had pulled his finger out of my nostril and roughly grabbed my chin, forced me to make eye contact. The empty pupils that felt no emotion made my body stiffen.
“I wonder why? All baby animals are lovable, they must be trying not to be hated…… because the moment they’re hated, they get eaten.”
“……”
“When they can’t even recognize what they should really be wary of.”
I flinched and trembled at Deus’s words. A voice full of interest pierced my ears.
“Do you know what state you’re in right now?”
“……That I can’t walk anymore, at least.”
“You’re poisoned by dark magic. Actually, I’ve been leaking dark magic continuously since we first met. From now on, in about 3 minutes…… no, in 1 minute at most, you’ll lose consciousness.”
Ah, so that’s why I kept losing strength from my body. I almost lost face thinking it was just because I lacked exercise, but thank goodness. Not. This bastard doesn’t have even a bit of fair play spirit. I barely held onto my hazy consciousness and said.
“I have to get out of here. I still have things to do outside.”
“That’s easy, letting you out is no big deal. But……”
“……”
“Actually, I was a bit surprised. This is the first sow I can communicate with so well. Everyone who saw me either cried, peed themselves, or bit their tongue and died. Those were all failures.”
A strange regret settled on his face, which had been dry throughout. Deus, who had been smiling faintly toward me as I glared fiercely, grabbed both my cheeks. And he said with a face that had quickly become cold.
“You know, I want to dissect you and then find out what structure you’re made of. And this time for sure, I’ll create a sow that can get pregnant. All the previous ones failed.”
His horizontally slit eyes smiled in a crescent shape. Deus, who had finished speaking, hugged me tightly and rubbed his face on my shoulder. Like a child who had received the gift they’d been longing for on Christmas.
“Just die……”
Deus, who had effortlessly picked me up as I pushed his shoulder with feeble strength, nibbled and chewed on my earlobe. And he whispered in an affectionate voice.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m good with my hands. My childhood dream was to be a doctor.”
“……”
“Sleep for a bit, I’ll sew you up nicely so there won’t be any scars.”
A doctor my ass, he’s a mental hospital patient who thinks he’s a doctor. Before I could retort, my vision slowly blurred. I lost consciousness with creepy laughter as the last thing I heard.
