Ch 265: Crushing the Orzelia Order.

After the initial commotion died down, Misaka 001 happily signed a Soul Contract with Noah and joined the rest of her sister.

Noah, feeling some pressure from the agreement with Odin that he had neglected so far, decided to do something about it. He found Rossweisse in the garden, chatting with Rias, Claire and Hisui after a day of work, all of them wearing maid uniforms.

"Oh, Noah!" laughed Rias as she saw him first. "Did you survive the Sister's onslaught?"

"Just barely." grinned Noah. "As it turns out, it is not quite possible to die from being kissed after all, although they made their best effort!"

"Eheh." laughed Hisui. "Too bad I missed this."

"At some point, they lifted me off the ground like I was a rock star diving into a crowd, both holding my limbs and kissing them all over."

"They're not going to do that again for every Sister you revive, right?"

"I hope not, or I'll have to put a stop to it. I'm not repeating this ten thousand times. Rossweisse, give me your hand, please."

"Me?" exclaimed Rossweisse, surprised. She hadn't exactly been ignored by Noah after she came to live here, but they had few opportunities to speak.

She extended her right hand to him, and Noah took it, gently pulling her toward him. She yelped in shock when Noah took her in his arms.

"Rias, Claire, Hisui, I'll be borrowing your conversation partner, and my unofficial fiancée, for the foreseeable future." grinned Noah.

Rossweisse instantly became beet red.

"Her turn came at last! That's great! Have fun, Rose!" cheered the girls.

"Wawawa…" muttered Rossweisse, feeling faint.

Noah nodded to them and walked back to the palace. A few other girls saw them and grinned.

Noah climbed the stairs and brought the silver-haired Valkyrie to his room.

"N-Noah, are we really going to…" gulped Rossweisse.

Noah, smiling, sat on the edge of the giant bed, putting her into his lap.

"Rossweisse, my gorgeous Valkyrie. you have lived here for months now. You must know what is going to happen, right?"

"Y-Yes." nodded Rossweisse, blushing even further. "Y-You are going to sub… subjugate me."

Noah nodded and leaned forward, kissing her.

Rossweisse froze as her thoughts crashed.

"Ah!" blurted out Rossweisse touching her lips with her right hand after Noah broke the kiss.

"Telle me, Rossweisse. How should I subjugate you?" grinned Noah.

"This…What?"

"You must have thought about it, right?" smiled Noah. "What kind of scenes did you imagine about your upcoming subjugation? This is your chance to make your favorite fantasies come true, Rossweisse."

"…Huh, do I really have to say? This is so embarrassing." finally managed to say Rossweisse.

"Tell me about your favorite one, Rossweisse." said Noah. "We should make this as pleasant as possible for you."

He started giving running his hands over her body with Hands of Nirvana active, avoiding her erogenous zones for now. She shuddered, but started to speak.

"I… I imagine myself… with my arms tied to the headboard… naked… and you tower over me… You slip a blindfold over my eyes, and with… your hands and tongue… Please don't make me continue." pleased Rossweisse.

"This is good enough for a start. So my beautiful Valkyrie is into bondage, blindfold play, and teasing. I can work with that." smiled Noah before kissing her again.

He paused his "massage" to start undressing Rossweisse. In seconds, he pushed her down on the bed, and she gasped as he removed her maid dress, stockings, bra, panties and shoes.

"You are so beautiful, Rossweisse." smiled Noah, staring into her eyes. "And you are all mine."

Rossweisse nodded, breathing fast.

"Let's make your fantasies come true." smiled Noah as he created a wide black leather collar with four D-Rings on the front, sides and back.

"Lift your neck, my cute Rossweisse." asked Noah, and she gulped as she did, staring at the collar.

Noah slowly fastened it against her throat, and the collar adjusted itself to insure a snug fit.

Next was a pair of padded black leather cuffs linked by a twenty-centimeters long chain, that he fastened around her wrist in front of her.

Noah gently guided her arms above her head, then folded them, using a padlock to tie the chain between her cuffs to the D-ring at the back of her collar.

He leaned down to kiss her again, and Rossweisse moaned softly.

"Everything okay?" asked Noah.

"…Yes."

He nodded and created two more wide cuffs, and he fastened around Rossweisse's thighs, just above her knees. He used short chains to link those cuffs to the sides of her collar, forcing her knees near her elbows.

"You look so delicious right now, Rossweisse." smiled Noah as he ran his hand around her crotch, very close to her pussy lips and love button, but not quite touching them, feeding her excitation. He could see the hint of moisture between her lips.

He kissed her again, then slipped a black leather blindfold over her eyes, and a leather-padded bit gag around her teeth. This kind of gag would do almost nothing to silence her, but it would contribute to making her feel more submissive.

Noah created a feather and started teasing her. A light touch here and there, with his hand of the feather. An ice cube slightly dragged over her skin. His tongue dancing around her hard nipples.

For almost half an hour, Noah slowly played with Rossweisse body, bringing her close to orgasm, and keeping her there.

"Mpmhis." moaned Rossweisse, her moans and groans getting more desperate. He sex was slowly leaking love fluids.

Noah finally decided she was more than ready for him. He transferred his own clothes to his inventory, and removed Rossweisse blindfold and gag. Her lustful eyes stared at him as he towered over her, kissed her again, and entered her with a slow by relentless trust.

Rossweisse winced slightly at the pain, but was soon distracted by Noah's kiss and hands.

Noah broke the kiss, looking into her eyes, and moved, slowly at first, but gradually picking up his pace.

"Rossweisse, you belong to me." growled Noah.

"Yes. I am yours!" gasped Rossweisse as she came, more strongly than ever before.

Noah grabbed her waist and trust deeper to prolong her orgasm, and a strangled scream came from Rossweisse's throat as the pleasure overwhelmed her reason.

Noah came inside her, then slowed down and slowly withdrew.

"I am your Master, my sweet Rossweisse." said Noah with a soft voice as he looked into her eyes, and she nodded with a tired smile.

"Yes, my Master." replied the silver-haired Valkyrie.

Noah received the system notification as he kissed her again. Rossweisse was already ready to sign a Slave Contract. Without a doubt, her initial subdued temperament, accepting Odin's verbal abuse and obeying his unreasonable orders with little pushback, and her extended stay in the island giving her a good idea of what life as Noah's slave was like, explained a lot.

But he didn't intend to stop her training immediately after she signed. She had been very patient and deserved so much more than a one and done. He intended to deepen her submissiveness and have many pillow talks with her for at least a week.

…

"We executed your order, master." said Ein as she knelt before Loki. Tveir and Prir were both kneeling behind her.

"Did you leave a few survivors behind?"

"We left half a dozen this time, master."

"Good. Go rest. I will have new orders for you in a few days."

"Yes, Master." nodded the three Valkyries as they stood and walked out.

Loki smiled as he leaned back against his golden throne.

Only about one more month, according to his estimations, and the great plan that he and Hades had worked on for years would reach its last phase.

…

"And those portal stones will let us travel faster?" asked Akira, staring at the old stone engraved with an array.

"Did you think this Demon Lord would walk all the way from Infermia to Calvart's surroundings every time she came to visit you?" chuckled Sakura.

"I didn't really think about it." shrugged Akira. "There is one close to Calvart as well, then."

"Yes. But since you haven't visited it before, you will not be able to use it to return to Calvert."

They were now very close to Laguna and would reach the city in half an hour.

The last four days of travel with the Heroes had been quite profitable, as far as Sakura was concerned. Yamada, Tahuya clearly intended to follow her back to Infermia live in the Mansion with the Succubi. They hadn't outright said so, but their behavior was obvious.

Kakeru intended to follow Ririko. He had a huge crush on her, to the point that Sakura sometimes wondered how the others, Ririko included, hadn't noticed.

Akira didn't hate the Demon Lord anymore. He even got along fairly well with Forneus and Satanachia. Sakura didn't know how he would decide in the end. Would he follow her willingly to protect the Hell's Gate from others? Or would he decline? And if he did, would Sakura let him go? She didn't really care about him, as long as he didn't attempt to reach the gate.

As for Ririko… It was clear from her flushed face that the denial was getting to her. Sakura hadn't put aphrodisiac in the food she prepared anymore. In fact, she had only cooked twice more during the journey to Laguna, mostly leaving it to others. Her goal to increase the pressure on Ririko had been achieved the first time. Now, she only needed to wait for opportunities to have some alone time with Ririko, or to capture her once her agreement with the Heroes came to an end.

After days of travel and frustration, Ririko still resented the Demon Lord, but she also seemed to be developing a reluctant respect for her.

Sakura turned toward her companions.

"Is everyone ready? Do you have any questions?"

"No, Rin-sama." smiled Kakeru. "The plan is simple enough."

"Then we should go before the sun goes down." nodded Sakura. She took from her inventory a few black cloaks, and gave one to Medusa, Shuuko, Forneus and Satanachia.

She also put one to mask her own appearance. The hood looked a little ridiculous as it barely covered the black crown, but it was enough to hide her name and change the color of her health bar into gray as far as the Heroes were concerned.

As Kakeru had said, the plan was simple. Kakeru, Alice, Uiko, Akira, Asuka, Leonhart and Ririko would show up at the city's gate with their faces in the open, triggering a reaction from the guards, and very likely sending one of them to warn the Orzelia Order.

The others, aside from Satanachia, Forneus and Shuuko who would only observe from afar, would hide their identities with cloaks and not join the fight until the masked members of the Orzelia Order appeared.

And when they did, Sakura, Medusa and the others would join the fight.

With determined expressions, Ririko and Akira took the lead this time, with Sakura staying near the end of the group.

They followed the road as it snaked between a few hills, and came into view of the port city of Laguna, about five hundred meters from them and surrounded by fields.

"You stay there, Forneus, Satanachia, Shuuko, Lana." said Sakura. "It shouldn't take long."

"I understand, Rin-sama." nodded Satanachia.

"You will all get a reward when we are back in Infermia." smiled Sakura. Satanachia showed a fleeting smile for a second before she nodded, Forneus cheered up, and Shuuko blushed.

The first group of Heroes kept going, and Sakura and the others slowed down, leaving a hundred meters distance between them.

When the first group walked within thirty meters of the four guards at the gate, they reacted instantly. One shouted, causing four more guards to leave the guardhouse just inside the wall, and one of them ran deeper into the city. The seven guards engaged the Heroes, shouting for them to drop their weapons and surrender.

With Leonhart providing some defensive magic and Alice and Uiko buffing and healing their allies, the Heroes had no trouble keeping the guards at bay, and the fight was slowly turning into their favor. Asuka could have made short work of them all, but she was still hiding her strength, fending off the attacks of two guards and barely counter-attacking.

One guard fell, then another. Another group of four guards ran out of the city and joined the fight.

More guards died, more guards joined the fight. The seven Heroes were now feeling some real pressure with eleven guards, and then the group they had waited for appeared.

Five robed, hooded figures wearing plague masks, one of them having a more elaborate red, gilded robe, and escorted by ten more guards. They noticed the group of hooded figures standing in the distance and stared at them for a few seconds before turning their attention to the seven Heroes.

"We're going." said Sakura with a predatory smile, discarding her robe. She covered herself with her shadow and created four shadow tentacles to propel herself forward, covering the distance in only a few seconds.

By the time the masked members of the Orzelia Order started shouting orders at the guards, Sakura was already running past the guards already fighting the first group of Heroes, slashing at two of them and killing one as she went by.

She reached the first of the guards standing between her and the masked figures, grabbed his right ankle with a tentacle, and slammed him against another guard, creating an opening.

"Why is the Demon Lord here?!" screamed on of the five masked men just before Sakura deflected his sword and slammed into him with her shoulder, sending him flying with a strangled cry.

"Who the hell are you? Stop this immediately!" angrily exclaimed the one with the gilded robe.

Sakura kicked away another of the masked men and reached the one with the gilded robe, using a shadow tentacle to bind him, forcing his arms against his torso. She stuck his sword away from his hand with a strong blow of her own blade, and with her free hand, grabbed the plague mask and tore it away.

It was indeed Souma Akagami, and Sakura smiled with satisfaction.

"You're not someone from… mmph!" started Souma, only to be interrupted when a shadow ribbon wrapped itself against his mouth and eyes, and more bound his hands and legs.

Sakura turned her attention to the other four.

Two were just getting back on their feet, only for one to be wrapped up in Medusa's ethereal chains. The other two who had hesitated were looking fearfully at Sakura as she used her shadow tentacles to keep the other guards at a distance, slashing around with sharp ribbons of grabbing them to slam them against their comrades.

The rest of the heroes had joined the fight, and Asuka used the chaos to get a little more aggressive, killing to guards in quick succession.

"Goma, Tsuzumida, Mastudo, Yoshiwara!" called out Kakeru. "Surrender, and you won't be harmed!"

"Why are you cooperating with the Demon Lord?" asked one of them.

"Because if any of us touch the Hell's Gate, we will all die!"

"…What?" exclaimed the one wrapped in Medusa's chains.

"If you guys surrender, this Demon Lord will let you go." said Sakura, pointing at the struggling Souma. "This Demon Lord only has interest in this one."

The guards were only shouting at her to release the pope, but between her, Medusa and the Heroes, they fell in quick succession until only the members of the Orzelia Order remained. Two were now captured by Medusa, their leader by Sakura, and the remaining two tried to make a run for it, only for Sakura to grab them as well, holding them upside down by their ankle.

One of them tried to throw his sword at her, and she shook her head as she deflected it with her sword, and slammed the offender into the ground, taking care not to kill it.

Once the Heroes gathered around the prisoners, they gave up and stopped resisting. After a few seconds, Sakura let them down, and ordered them to remove their masks. Medusa also removed those to the two she still held captive.

As Akira, Ririko and the others started both scolding them for being cowards and explaining them in a low voice about the missing software to bring their consciousness back into their bodies, Sakura dealt with Souma Akagami.

She loosened the ribbon against his mouth only to force his jaw open and stuff a large ball gag into it, fastening it tightly, inserted ear plugs into his ears, and put a black leather hood over his head, one that only had holes for his nostrils. She stripped him off his robe, put a slave harness on him to seal his skills, then spread a leather sleeping bag on the ground and used both her hands and her shadow limbs to force him inside, guiding his flaying arms into the inner sleeves, then zipping the bag closed, and fastening a series of straps around the sack.

Souma Akagami wasn't going anywhere.

The others had fallen silent as she worked, looking at her with fear, or for some, with slight envy.

Sakura turned to Goma Kuniaki.

"This Demon Lord had to deal with the former leader of Infermia, Satan, previously. Were you the ones who sent him?"

"S-Souma did." trembled Goma. "I-I had nothing to do with it."

Sakura nodded and waved to Shuuko, Forneus, Satanachia and Lana in the distance, asking for them to come, and they ran.

"Anna, as well as Shuuko, Uiko, Alice, Ichinon, and Naru. You will take Souma Akagami to Infermia and stuff him into the deepest cell in the dungeon. You Heroes do not actually need to eat. Is this Demon Lord correct?"

"Yes, Rin-sama." replied Uiko.

"Good. You are not to remove any of his restraints under any circumstances, and you will instruct Adora and Grasha to stay well away from his cell.

"Rin-sama, aren't you going to return to Infermia as well?" warily asked Akira, dreading that she would immediately switch back to her plan to capture them.

"No. This Demon Lord intends to search for this Ragna Bringer sword."

"Oh, I see." nodded Akira, relieved. "I wish you luck, and thank you again for your help with dealing with the Orzelia Order."

"Before we part ways, this Demon Lord intends to ask you, Heroes Asuka, Kakeru, Ririko, Akira, Yamada and Tahuya. Are you willing to swear loyalty to this Demon Lord, and swear to defend Infermia from the other Heroes who might intend to invade it? If you do, you can accompany Leonhart and the others back to Infermia, and receive the same treatment they enjoy."

"Please accept, my succubi sisters are starving for affection, you know? They're so jealous of me. And they are also starving for… something else." smirked Lana.

"I swear loyalty." nodded Yamada, a tent forming in his pants. When the others looked at him, he blushed awkwardly. "We need to protect the gate, right? There are more of our comrades out there who aren't aware of that, so…"

"I swear loyalty as well." nodded Tahuya, having the same physiological reaction.

"You're not fooling anyone with those tents in your pants, pervert." grumbled Ageha.

"I don't!" declared Ririko with determination. "I won't attack Infermia, but I will find the Ragna Bringer before you do, Demon Lord Rin, and if it really can erase anything from existence, I will use it to destroy that cursed collar you put on me!"

"To think you would be so unappreciative of this Demon Lord's gift. Be careful not to cut yourself with that sword when you do." sniffed Sakura before she turned to the others.

Akira shook his head. "I will not attack Infermia either, and I am considering joining you to help defend it, but before that, I want to find our missing comrades. I need to explain the situation properly to them."

Sakura nodded, knowing he was honest. Her lie detection ability hadn't triggered.

"This Demon Lord's spies located six of your comrades. They formed a party of adventurers and were last seen in the human city of Israphel."

"I see. Thank you for the information, Rin-sama." nodded Akira.

"I will accompany Ririko to try to find the Ragna Bringer. But I do not intend to attack you or Infermia either. If we can all live in peace afterward, it would be great." shrugged Kakeru.

"I guess I'll tag along with you guys as well." sighed Asuka as she looked at Ririko, who smiled gratefully. "After we're done, maybe I'll visit Infermia for a while."

"Very well." said Sakura. She nodded to Anna, who picked up Souma and carried him over his shoulder. he kept struggling and screaming to no avail.

"We're on our way, Rin-sama. We will wait eagerly for your return."

Sakura picked up the cloak she had discarded and put it on again, and signaled for Forneus, Satanachia, Megu and Ageha to do the same.

"Since we are here, let us visit this human city. Maybe they will have something of interest to this Demon Lord."

…

"Thank you for helping me, Asuka, Kakeru." smiled Ririko as she turned to her companions.

They had entered Laguna, reached the port, and just paid the captain of the ship that regularly made the trip to Arzheim. They would leave port in just a few minutes.

"It's fine." shrugged Asuka. "I wanted to take a look at the elves and dark elves. And I also sympathize with you."

"Yes. Thanks anyway." replied Ririko. For a while now, she felt troubled, like she had forgotten something very important.

"This Demon Lord is quite different from what I imagined when you told me about her." smiled Kakeru. "She is actually pretty easy to get along with. But I am increasingly certain that she's a real person. Did you notice that Souma didn't know about her, either?"

Ririko soured at the mention of the Demon Lord, the feeling that she had missed something tugging harder at her mind.

And then her eyes went wide, and she groaned as she finally remembered. The key to her belt!

"What is it, Ririko? Don't tell me you think you're going to suffer from sea sickness?" asked Asuka.

"…No, it's… nothing." said Ririko with gritted teeth. She seriously considered leaving the boat to run around the city and try to find Demon Lord Rin, but she didn't have time for this anymore! The boat wouldn't delay its departure for her.

She felt like she was about to sob, wondering how she could tolerate days or even weeks of denial. Rin had tricked her!

As if mocking her, she spotted the Demon Lord, followed by Satanachia, Forneus, Megu and Ageha, coming out of a side street and head toward the docks. Satanachia saw them and pointed toward them, and they walked in their direction.

"Don't tell me, they're coming with us?" exclaimed Kakeru, confused, as Rin and her group talked to a crew member still on the dock and Rin gave him a small bag of coins.

"It seems that way." shrugged Asuka.

"Hey! Are you guys also going to Arzheim?" asked Megu as soon as they stepped on the ship's deck.

"Yeah." said Asuka. "What about you guys? Weren't you supposed to search for the Ragna Bringer?"

"We are. But as it turns out, Satanachia, despite looking like a Dark Elf, is actually an Elf, and she was the last person to use the Ragna Bringer to deal with that calamity called the Encroaching Darkness. Using that weapon changed her appearance and made her look like this, and because the Ragna Bringer caused a lot of damage to the land, Satanachia was exiled from Arzheim."

Satanachia, standing to the side, nodded.

"So you guys already know where that weapon is?" asked Ririko, her heart sinking.

"The Ragna Bringer is Arzheim's national treasure, and I gave it back after borrowing it." shrugged Satanachia. "Only the Elven Queen knows its exact location."

"I see…" sighed Ririko, sending a glare at the Demon Lord who only seemed amused.

The crew members retrieved the large plank that had been used as a makeshift bridge to the dock, and the ship unfurled its sails, starting to move.

Sometime later, after dinner, Ririko hesitantly knocked at the door of the cabin that Rin had taken for herself.

The Demon Lord opened the door and gestured for her to come inside.

"Rin-sama, please give me the key."

"Did you forget our agreement, Ririko? This Demon Lord promised you that the belt would be removed before we parted ways. This hasn't happened yet."

"…You forgot to remove it earlier. It is only because of blind luck that we are on the same ship."

"…Is it really blind luck?" smirked Sakura, walking closer to Ririko. "What if this Demon Lord already knew you were headed for Arzheim?"

"But we haven't told anyone…" retorted Ririko, before she started considering a possibility. Had one of the others leaked information? Maybe Yamada or Tahuya?

"Do not underestimate this Demon Lord, Ririko." purred Rin, and before Ririko realized, the Demon Lord had an arm around her waist, holding her against her torso. with her other hand, she kneaded Ririko's left breast through her clothes.

"Stop this!" exclaimed Ririko as she started to struggle, only for her wrists to be seized by hands from Sakura's shadow and forced into her back. Another shadow tentacle surrounded her thighs above the knees, stopping any attempt at kicking.

"I am going to scream." warned Ririko, her face red. Rin's touch felt better than it had any right to, and her body quickly heated up.

"Do you want your comrades to witness you being played with by this Demon Lord? I do not mind if they watch." chuckled the Demon Lord, not releasing her.

"Y-You!" gasped Ririko, blushing fiercely.

"…It has been hard, isn't it? To be denied pleasure for four days." said Rin with a soft voice.

Despite herself, Ririko nodded.

"This Demon Lord could give you the relief you need. You only need to ask."

Ririko shuddered, almost tempted to accept immediately. She felt so horny that it threatened to overwhelm her reason. But she knew that if she asked just once, she wouldn't be able to stop herself from asking again, and again. She would truly become the Demon Lord's slave in the end.

"…Who are you?" asked Ririko.

"I am the Demon Lord Rin. And soon, your Mistress." smiled Rin.

"Stop taking me for a fool! I know you are someone from my world!" almost shouted Ririko. "Ichinon and Shuuko refuse to answer when… we ask them if you are a real person… but their silence is an answer in itself."

Rin nodded.

"…That information, comes at a cost." finally replied Rin, continuing her ministrations on Ririko's helpless body, stocking the flames of her lust further. "This Demon Lord wonder, are you willing to pay the price for it?"

"…What price?"

"This Demon Lord will give you relief, and afterward, you will wear the belt again, until we part ways, as previously agreed. But the belt will be upgraded with one of its missing accessories. The front one."

Ririko shuddered before this impossible choice. She realized how much harder it would be for her to withstand the denial if the belt had something penetrating her.

But she needed to know. She needed to know who was hiding behind this hauntingly beautiful face, who the person tormenting her in such a way truly was.

"I will pay that price." gasped Ririko.

"Very well." nodded the Demon Lord, and she removed the black crown and the veil that shrouded her face.

Ririko's eyes widened in complete shock as the white hair turned longer and purple, and a face that was different, but just as beautiful, replaced Rin's. A face she knew.

"Long time no see, Ririko." smiled Sakura.

"S-Sakura!" exclaimed Ririko.

"Yes. That's me. But do not scream, or I will gag you. Only the four Hellzectors, Anna, Naru and Nonnon know. Rin is actually my elder sister's name. I will tell the others soon after we're back in Infermia."

"…Why?" gasped Ririko, almost forgetting the intense horniness she felt, until Sakura resumed molesting her.

"Why am I acting as the Demon Lord? Or why am I trying to make you my sex slave?"

"Both! And stop touching me, damn it! I will sue your butt, and that's after I beat the crap out of… mmmph!"

Ririko's eyes widened again as Sakura kissed her, inserting her tongue into her mouth.

"Stop that, I… mpho!"

She was kissed again.

"Damn it, Sakur… mmphoi!"

And again.

Ririko glared at her when Sakura broke the kiss and nodded.

"…Three times, it looks like you're learning faster than Shuuko. Not back to your question. The people I work for were not responsible for the sabotage that got us stuck into this world, but they knew it would happen. They could have simply warned the authorities, but this isn't their style. They like to help, but they also like to have fun watching, and they are confident that we can save everyone their way. So they sent me, Medusa, and Asuka to integrate Class 2A, without telling us what would happen, and we simply waited. Once we found ourselves stranded in that world, I was given the mission to become the Demon Lord and stop the Heroes from reaching the Gate, and they gave me a lv90 account from the start, as well as this disguise."

"And why I am making you my sex slave? Simply because I like you, and I want you, Ririko."

Before Ririko could retort, Sakura kissed her again, and led her to the bed, pushing her down.

Ririko's struggles weakened as Sakura removed her clothes, and finally unlocked the belt. But she got an idea and put the belt into her inventory before Sakura could remove it. This way, Sakura wouldn't be able to put it back on her.

Sakura snorted, and a pair of black leather cuffs appeared in her hands. Ririko too smirked as she transferred them into her inventory while Sakura was trying to bind her.

For once, she was getting a victory over the one who had tormented her, however small.

"You Bad Girl. You want to play that game?" asked Sakura. She took a larger item from her inventory, made of black leather and with many buckles.

"I intended to leave you free for a while longer until you gave in and asked to become my slave, but my agreement not to enslave you expired after the defeat of the Orzelia Order, and by refusing to pay the price we agreed upon, you're asking for it."

Ririko struggled as Sakura started fastening the item around her torso and turned her over, but she only got an error message when she tried to transfer the item in her inventory.

"What is this thing?" gasped Ririko as Sakura started bucking the many belts along her spine.

"It is called a Slave Harness, and you won't be able to remove it. It will stop you from using your inventory, or any skill or spell for that matter. But it's fine, since you probably won't need to fight with me around. And if you die while wearing it, your respawn point is now a cell in Infermia's dungeon."

Ririko shook her head in denial, struggling, but Sakura and her shadow held her firmly. The cursed collar that had been snug around her throat somehow became loose enough for Sakura to fasten the last buckle behind her neck, then became snug again, sitting on her throat over the layer of black leather, just above a large steel ring.

Ririko couldn't do anything this time as Sakura fastened another pair of leather cuffs around her wrists.

"Where do you even get all that perverted stuff from?"

"The game has an adult store. Now shut up and be mine already."

Ririko's next question was smothered by a red ball gag, and then Sakura, using her mouth, her hands, and her shadows, played with her body. In seconds, Ririko became too distracted to be able to think.

…

Hours later, while Ririko was barely conscious after the overwhelming pleasure she had experienced, she felt a damp towel rubbed over her body. She understood that Sakura was cleaning her, but was too tired to protest. Then her ankles were grabbed, her legs lifted slightly, and she felt something hard and slippery press against her lower lips and enter.

"It's too big!" gasped Ririko, looking at her body just in time to see a black rubber shaft, glistening with lubricant, entering further inside her, its base connected to another black chastity belt that Sakura fastened around her hips and locked.

"You'll be fine." smiled Sakura, already wearing her leather and metal outfit. "It is only medium-sized, and smaller than the strap-on I used earlier."

"…How am I even going to walk with this?" blushed Ririko.

"With practice. You'll grow used to it. Now get dressed, Ririko. With your clothes over the harness, Ageha and Megu will know you wear one the instant they glance at your throat, but you might fool Asuka and Kakeru."

Ririko nodded tiredly as she equipped her clothes.

"And I expect you in my room or tent every night from now on." smiled Sakura. "Every night, I will bind you and have my way with you."

"Absolutely n..." started Ririko, only to gasp and freeze as the dildo filling her came to life. She glared at Sakura, seeing a small pink remote in her right hand.

"My bad, I didn't mention the dildo was a vibrating model." smirked Sakura, pressing another button, and the vibrations stopped. "You will come into my room every night, or I will play with this remote night and day, both in private and in public, until you become obedient."

This was too much, and a tear fell from Ririko's left eye.

In an instant, Sakura was hugging her.

"It will be okay, Ririko. Maybe I'm pushing you too hard, but you liked what we did earlier, did you not? You only need to let go of your pride, and you will be happy."

"I'm… I'm not a pervert." sobbed Ririko. "Why did I… like being… molested? Why did I like… being used like this?"

"…It's only natural, Ririko, and you aren't a pervert. Any girl in your situation would have reacted the same."

Ririko kept sobbing softly, wondering why she felt Sakura to be… comforting, at a time like this. This shouldn't be the case. Sakura was the one who had done those things to her, who had just put a sex toy inside her and locked it out of her reach.

And yet, in this moment, she felt Sakura's warmth to be comforting…

Could it be that… she felt something for Sakura? She was beautiful and attractive, sure, but she wasn't into girls… Was she? She couldn't deny that what Sakura did to her didn't feel unpleasant, when it should have been. Sakura was making her question her sexuality.

Eventually, Ririko calmed down, and lifted her head from Sakura's shoulder, staring into her eyes.

"Sakura." said Ririko with hesitation.

"Yes?"

"I still do not want to be your slave... But… If I fall before we get out… If I surrender to you… You will take responsibility, right?"

"You do not need to ask, Ririko." nodded Sakura. "The relationship between a slave and her Master or Mistress is for life."

Ririko took a few deeps breaths, and then nodded.

"Okay. You can let go of me now. I need to get some sleep… Assuming I can even sleep with that damn thing inside me."

Sakura released her, and Ririko left without a word, going into her own cabin.

She didn't know if it was the exhaustion of something else, but she didn't have trouble falling asleep after all.
