I hated myself as much as I hated everyone who had cornered me in such a situation. Because of a single damn ******* lost bet whose odds were in my favor, I was doomed to play the role of a whore to attract their attention… Nay… What I was going to perpetrate wouldn’t bring them any justice, this was purely and simply going to be an act of pure indecency.

Well, I wasn't going to be able to get away with it, I had played… and lost miserably. The girls had made it clear, and one of them sounded particularly serious about it. If I refused my sentence, the punishment would be terrible… AND I WAS NOT A COWARD!! Or was I?

Well, in the end, nothing truly mattered… Everything up until now was only a way to disrupt my mind. I needed not to convince myself, I needed not to find the reasons, and I needed not to save anything either. Since I had sworn to god beforehand… and had to sword to the devil afterward. Yup, I had received a menacing letter from my mysterious first wife, compelling me to keep my word, and she knew how to be particularly convincing.

Why else would I’ve agreed!!! I had no choice… Or had I? Honestly, I can’t remember her message content nor what was in her threat that pressured me to fold. And I don’t want to know it. But it should’ve been important because I suspect this was what made me surrender in exchange for being able to forget it again.

…

Unable to take it any longer and wanting it to stop at all costs, I moved on to the next step. Who’s idea was it again?? AH right… it was mine…

I took the large but thin wooden sign specially made for the occasion that Sera was holding out to me at arm's length. Thus, as if to give her my farewell, I glanced at her with my dull eyes emptied of any will to live and went to face my retribution.

Holding the panel in front of my private part, well in sight, I slowly proceed to undo my skirt while advancing further toward our enemy's location. Gently pulling on the only string that held the cloth in place, I let the cloth slide down slightly as I was loosening the knot.

Then, at the moment when it was about to untie completely, I gave one last sharp pull before dropping the cord. Leave alone at gravity's mercy, the fabric finally fell at my feet.

Unlike before, It didn’t take long for one…two… three?! Hey, what the f… Okay, I was sure that pretty much every single one of them was at the rendezvous. The enemies’ scout team came out of their hiding and cautiously entered the tunnel without making a sound, considering the situation.

I looked at Serra who was already nodding negatively, answering my silent question instantly, and cutting short my hope of salvation. They were still far away, too far, and they were not tempted enough to recklessly come forward any further.

Wifey… what have I done to merit this grudge of yours… You didn’t give me any news for a while only to push me into the pit of hell the moment I started to forget about your existence…

There, after a few extra steps to avoid damaging my priceless piece of clothing while performing my upcoming obscenity, I collapsed on my knee, meeting the cold and moist ground. With the wooden board still laid on my crotch, I spread my thighs wide open while leaning back, striking a pose like a porn model would’ve done in a photoshoot. A perfect posture of acceptance and resolve from a b*tch in heat, inciting nothing but to ravage me.

On the wood, written in capital letters, was a message to lure out our enemies.

We wish to discuss our surrender.

Accept her as a sign of good faith, rape her to your heart's content

Free use

Break her soul and body apart

Pleasure is mercy, ravage her fiercely

Hole of shame and redemption, still unused

Fuck me, why did I make a bet in the first place, and whid did I propose such a degrading feat.

“Sera…” In a trembling voice, I asked Serra, who was the only one who could actually give me the answer I was waiting for.

I couldn't take it anymore, I was at the limit of what my mind could bear of humiliation. So much that I couldn’t bear to keep my eyes open. I had to tightly close them even before taking this shameful stance of mine. Otherwise, I would’ve long fled the place. I didn’t want to know anything about what was happening, and I harbored the hope that if I was unable to see them, they couldn’t either.

“Hold on, Just a little closer! Don’t worry, you’re great, what do I say! Superb, gorgeous, the perfection and temptation incarnate.” Trying to cheer me up because she knew I was about to give in to the panic, Sera threw some joke at me in a whisper.

“Oh god oh god oh god o-Sera….”

“Soon, but you should try to enjoy it while you still can. Take it as a new life experience, and have some confidence in your charme, they’re true destroyers of worlds.”

“In the name of the Father of the Son and of the holy spirit. Have mercy!”

“Tsk, how weak… It made me want to let you endure more but they will definitely hear your complaint if we continue. Now!” BANG

An extreme and intense white flash crossed my closed eyelid while a loud sound broke the silence with a bang. Finally, it was here!! This was the sign I was waiting for, urging me to put an end to this disgrace and take action… That’s to say, flee!!

In the blink of an eye, without even bothering to look around, I got up on my feet and swiftly recovered the belongings I had dropped on the floor. Then, I hurried toward Sera and violently took her in my arms without stopping my course. I ran back to our own end of the tunnel while repeating over and over again the same prayer in my head.

Please stop looking please stop looking please stop looking please please please, have the divine smite kill you this instant!!! Even better, KIll US altogether with this entire planet!

“Are you okay Lily? I mean, you stayed neutral during the vote, but I didn’t think you’d go so far as to go along with the bet after that.”

“Humf, serve him right, who sows the wind reaps the storm as they say. He started it, so he must bear the consequences. He shouldn’t have proposed such an indecent manner to draw them out if he had not prepared himself to serve as the bait. Aleve, reassure me, you’re not going to defend him, right? ”

“Well, all he did was to come up with a plan. It didn’t have to be that lewd thought, and it wasn’t supposed to be in the first place. I mean, advancing toward them with revealing clothes and boring a pitiful and scared face wouldn’t have been much worse, given what we are currently wearing. It’s you who selected the clothes and asked me to give him a penalty if he were to lose.”

“And he was the first to bet on the chosen one and asked for naughty photos of the winner in a shameful pose. Moreover, it’s also he who had gambled more than he could, and ended up in such a position, being chosen and still owing you something. If he is horny enough to propose such things, while still refusing to look at his wife, why can’t he take on the role if it falls to him?”

“Sure enough, but I had accepted knowingly, I already knew he would win the beauty contest and wouldn’t be able to pay what he would owe me. You didn’t have to butt in, I had no desire to lower him more than he deserved… Bah, anyway, what's done is done.”

“If you knew he would win, what about me? Think a little about how I felt! This is one of the reasons, if not THE reason, why he deserves such punishment.”

“Are you perhaps jealous of his look? Well I myself doubt my inclinations when I look at him, the first time I saw him like this, I almost had a stroke. We’re fortunate that the men didn’t get the chance to voice their opinions. I don’t think they would’ve been honest, but if they had, I’m sure our hero would’ve slaughtered them before hanging himself.”

“Yes, even Sera said his beauty was a crime, and Anna’s still under his charm. The worst is that he isn’t even aware of that. It’s pissing me so much!”

“Yeah, man, it took everything I had not to die of laughter each time a man, nay even a girl, was looking at him. The funniest thing was the dejected face Ricky made on his deathbed. I nearly pitied him.”

“Are you perhaps speaking about the hero? Mind it if I join the conversation? He’s freaking cute isn’t he?”

“Hey, Anna! What’s up?” “Hey, still dreamy?”

“Still, I already had plenty of material, but you gave me yet another bunch of ideas. I can’t stop myself from imagining them in the act, the helpless hero asking for mercy, and the bad guys refusing him the slightest rest. Ahhhhh!…. ”

“... I see that it didn't get better… if not downright turning for the worst… You aren’t married yet, you should refrain from such thoughts if you don’t want to scare him away. I won’t trick him into it even if you beg me, I can’t lose any more of his trust… Well, I’m sure you're not the only one who imagined this kind of thing. Isn’t it, Alev?”

“I don't understand what you're talking about, my thoughts are pure and immaculate as snow.”

“As much as your little play with Sera?”

“... Perhaps… But at least I do paint him as an actual girl in my mind, I’m not against gender bender if you’d really ask. But, and you? You ain’t make me believe that the mighty Lily is exempt from going astray, not after choosing this abnormally lewd set of clothes.”

“... Secret… And again, this was his own fault, why did he keep such expensive pieces of fabric? He complains he is poor all the time, yet he has magically enhanced lingerie. Anyway, to answer you, all I can say is that in a moment of weakness, I might have imagined him as a cute doll at my mercy…”

“Wow!! How wild! But hey this was out of anyone’s expectation. His girl cosplay was so convincing even without the clothes that I thought he was someone else. When you told me that you had to use fake makeup and dirt to reduce his beauty, I didn’t believe you, until I understood you were both dead serious.”

“Indeed… But I must say, I don’t think this was anything normal. I don’t know what happened, but even if I can’t say that he is a perfect image of virility and that he is definitely fit for such a role, I’m sure my sister played a dirty trick on him and made things worse. I’m even more convinced since he didn’t try to back out and agreed to serve as the bait in this shameful outfit of his.”

“She’s pretty scary, isn’t she… I don’t know who she is, but Sera was deeply shaken when she found herself in front of a closed door blocking or even sealing your memory of your sister.”

“Yes… She is… Well, I don’t even know everything myself, but I know she is much more powerful than she wants me to think. So far I remember, she had always been mysterious about her power.”

“Hey! Girls! Wouldn’t you prefer to make another bet rather than talking about annoying stuff? What do you think Lily? Alev? Let’s predict which pose he would do and how obscene it would be. The winner keeps the right to the photography Sera is going to make!”
