Chapter 25 Punishment
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Talking at length with someone about his life story might have been a first for Yuuri since he got this new life.
For common folks, most of their days are filled with work. You make friends along the way, but the topics you can really dive into stay pretty narrow. On top of that, as a reincarnated person, he could never openly talk about memories from his past life. To others, it would just sound like made-up nonsense from his head.
The same went for Ashley, even though they shared their hearts. Facts she could not prove were things he should have kept locked deep inside.
But when two out of three people sharing a fate have past-life memories, you need to open up fully to build real trust. For the three of them, the isolated space of the Familial Workshop (workshop domain) was the perfect place to pour out everything, free from time or status.
”–So, as someone who died full of regrets, I can only thank Shelm-sama for the offer,” Yuuri said.
”That explains why both of you were so smart even as kids… and you got special skills too.”
”If I’m asked whether to vanish or keep living another life, well, at least for me, I can only choose to keep going.”
He should probably count himself incredibly lucky.
That goddess did not seem the type to do charity. Skills are said to root in the soul’s ability, so he likely got a next life by chance because his fit was high.
”–That’s about it. Ashley, this is the secret between me and Yuuri. In short, we just clicked because we’re from the same place.”
”Yeah, my number one is you and only you. Always has been, always will be.”
”…Yes. I’ve shown you my ugly sides so many times–ow!”
Suddenly, Ashley’s stomach let out a cute growl.
Come to think of it, they were about to camp when they got dragged into the Fried lord’s rebellion. By now, they should have eaten long ago.
It was a normal body need, but Ashley blushed to her ears and looked down. He had to be kind to her shy heart.
”Ah, the kitchen has cooking tools, right? We don’t worry about a place to stay anymore, but I forgot we were short on food.”
”I’m ashamed to show this again… The pantry in the kitchen is full of ingredients, so food is no problem. It gets restocked as part of the workshop domain’s reset ability.”
”Wow. An endless food supply, huh. Hehe, just how much does that person want to make Yuuri do?”
He fully agreed with Marina.
In a dungeon where life is at risk, you can trust it as a lifeline. But using it freely on the surface would allow perfect kidnapping with no trace.
Ten years ago, he sealed this skill because of his old world’s fancy ethics. Yet clinging to them without tossing them away led to now. If he had acted selfishly with skills as supreme, he would have messed up early for sure. At least, he would not have lasted long enough to meet the goddess’s standards.
”Alright, let’s head to the kitchen. If the stuff is like family restaurant level, I’ll cook. I was a worker there once.”
”I’ll help and learn. I want to make things you can eat, Yuuri.”
Yes, sharing hearts with familiar women and enjoying meals together would never have happened otherwise.
It made him so happy that he took Ashley’s hand and stood up. As he turned to call Marina to leave the bedroom together, he noticed something wrong.
”Marina? Hey, you okay?”
”Princess, do you feel ill?” Ashley asked.
Marina leaned on the sofa arm, limp and face down.
Looking back, she had seemed very relaxed during the talk. He thought she was just enjoying the cushy sofa made with past-life tech, but maybe she was hiding discomfort.
When he let go of her hand, Ashley rushed to Marina’s side right away.
”Princess, where does it hurt!?”
”Ugh… my stomach… no, my whole body…”
Marina’s breathing was rough. Her cheeks flushed, and sweat beads formed on her forehead.
The frown between her brows looked strangely alluring.
”–Huh? Alluring?”
”Yuuri, please watch over the princess for a bit. I’m sorry, but step out,” Ashley said.
Ashley’s fierce look as the princess’s aide almost made him obey out of commoner habit. But something told him not to leave Marina’s side, so he managed to stay.
”It’s not that, Ashley… Yuuri broke me in, but I’ve been left too long, and the crotch tattoo (punishment mark) is…”
”–Ah. …My apologies, Yuuri. We do need your help after all.”
The intensity from before vanished in a blink. Ashley turned back into a cute lover, fidgeting as she asked for his aid.
He sat beside Marina at her invite.
”This is likely the punishment from the crotch tattoo. If a familiar gets scared and runs, it… well, makes the magic inside rage to force surrender soon.”
”…We don’t need that function. I have no plan to force anyone just because they became my familiar.”
He said that, but he kind of got the point.
The goddess probably saw getting a familiar through love as the rare case. The Familial Workshop packs many handy functions, but the more he learned, the more it felt made for evil deeds.
”Yeah… I know. Whew♡ But Yuuri, you hardly make a move, right? As the caught fish, I want the bait soon.”
”Sorry about that. But that’s why I want you to invite me because you want to, not because it hurts. …Ashley, how do I stop this punishment?”
”Touch the crotch tattoo and will it so,” she answered quickly.
He nodded lightly to Ashley and slipped his hand into Marina’s underwear without pause, laying it over the faintly glowing mark of submission.
”Nnh♡ Amazing… just your touch, master… huh, naa… aha♡”
”How’s that? Feel better now?”
The light spilling from the underwear gap seemed to fade.
Marina’s state calmed from grim endurance to deep, alluring breaths.
”…I’m okay now. Thanks, Yuuri.”
”For a function like this, it should default to off. That goddess is mean deep down.”
Even if inhumane, a safety trigger might bring short-term gains.
But for long-term skill use and stable god power, this setup raised doubts.
”Hehe, maybe. But in our old world, factory settings were weird too, right?”
”Hey. No self-jabs like that; they hit me too.”
He poked her cheek lightly, and she gave a short sorry.
He knew it was not blame. Still, the power to do as he pleased with them rested in his hands. In the old world, it would be like existing only as a phone app. Even if true, hearing it hurt a lot.
”Ashley, can I borrow Yuuri?”
His feelings must have shown. Marina reached out both arms toward him. As if to make up, she pulled him to her chest. Soft feel and heartbeat like a racing bell.
”The punishment is gone, but I can’t hold back anymore.”
”That’s all up to Yuuri. I have no right to object. …Yuuri, the princess is new at this. Make it a good memory for her.”
It was an invite right away.
But he could not accept. He had said Ashley was his number one, so starting willingly with another woman first made no sense.
He could not stay in her arms forever. He slipped out a bit forcefully. Marina looked up like an abandoned kitten, so he stroked her head to comfort her.
”Wait, Ashley. You come first. Unlike her, I haven’t touched you yet,” Yuuri said.
”B-but the princess just became a familiar. You need to start with her…”
Trying to put others first was Ashley’s good side.
He had said no forcing, but with Ashley’s nature, she would keep giving way to Marina forever. They were tied by good fate, but if he only followed the women’s leads, even Marina might get tired of him.
”I’m saying I want to touch you. My choice is everything, right? …Marina, sorry, but I can’t give this up.”
”…Haha, fine. I’ll wait outside then. Call me when you’re done.”
By the contract, being pushed aside after coming on strong would not sit well with Marina. Ashley seemed to feel guilty for being picked first.
This was a downside that came with two familiars.
But with one body, there was only one way to fix it.
He stood, grabbed Marina’s arm as she tried to leave the bedroom, and pulled her back.
”Where are you going? You’re next after Ashley.”
”Huh? That’s why I’m waiting out–wait, what!? Both at once…?”
He nodded with a straight face.
Honestly, as a virgin at heart, he worried if he could handle even one. But here, he had to trust Ashley’s words and act like a man.
With his bold attitude, Marina’s shocked face soon turned into a bold grin. Yes, to keep peace between them, he had to face this bad bet.
”Hmph… Yuuri’s pretty confident, huh? We can take turns resting, and I have stamina too.”
He was glad to see her usual confident self back, but her cheap taunt lit his fighting spirit instead.
Her drive looked just like a princess knight leading troops. She gave orders to Ashley behind her.
”Okay, Ashley! Let’s drain Yuuri until he’s worn out!”
”Impossible.”
But the attendant brushed off the command with a calm face.
The quick reply left Marina frozen, finger still pointing at him, unsure what hit her.
”–Huh?”
”Impossible.”
Marina turned slowly. Ashley cut her down the same way.
Her face shifted from confused to melting as she spoke to the princess.
”Well… I can’t beat Yuuri♡ Even sneaking in his sleep, I lost♡ …I end up used, just a hole for his pleasure♡ So if Yuuri truly loves his familiars, even two of us will get turned back♡”
Ashley glowed with bliss, making her crotch tattoo (punishment mark) show as she told Marina.
It clashed hard with Marina’s battle plan.
”Sadly, I alone can’t satisfy Yuuri…♡ That’s why we needed more familiars, but random girls are out of course. …The princess offering to join was pure luck♡”
–Yes, that was the whisper when he asked Ashley if Marina could become a familiar.
Ashley looked down at the stunned Marina with a full smile. He saw a spider wrapping prey in threads.
”So… if we’re both loved side by side, I asked Yuuri to include the princess♡”
”Y-you planned this!? Ashley!”
Planned or not, Marina had misjudged the power gap from lack of experience. Ashley trapping her without pointing it out could count as a plot.
But if one familiar could not handle his needs, another loved just as much would help a lot.
No one fit better than the pale girl in front of him.
He pulled her arm, hugged her small body to his chest.
”Y-Yuuri… calm down? We can talk–nnh♡”
No questions. He rubbed her breast.
Gentle then firm, with changes in speed. He pushed the hard spot he found through her underwear, and Marina twitched, rubbing her thighs.
”Cute, Marina.”
”Eek♡ Don’t… trick me like thaaat♡ Ah, an♡ Why… can’t I shake your arm off…♡”
She thought she could escape anytime, but she kept making cute sounds in his arms.
Marina should be stronger from blessings, yet she could not move one finger from her chest. What power was this?
”Hehe, familiars can’t go against Yuuri in the workshop♡ No matter how strong the princess is over us, she can’t escape your hands now♡”
”Th-that’s♡ Haan♡ No, stop Yuuri…♡ You said no forcing♡ You promised♡”
Her tearful, shy face looked up, so lovely.
He felt bad for pushing, so he let go of her chest but not her escape.
He wrapped arms around her tight waist, hugged hard, whispered in her ear.
”Then let’s do it with agreement. After one round with Ashley. Or… I might do lots with her and fall asleep?”
”No way! I can’t wait anymore! Do me after Ashley! F-fe… Yuuri’s mean, cruel, sex monster! –Fe!?”
He pushed the crying Marina onto the sofa.
He wiped tears from her wide golden eyes with a finger.
Then he leaned over, took her trembling lips without a word.
”Faa♡ Mph♡ Hea…♡ Like this, nmu, hyuru, nfu♡”
He forced his tongue past her teeth.
Each time she tried to complain, he tangled tongues to stop her.
As he gently stroked her fleeing tongue, her fight faded.
When her body went limp, she even started to tangle back actively.
”Fe… haa♡ Mean, Yuuri. It was my first kiss, and so rough…♡ Nmu♡♡ …You kiss right away to dodge♡ Be gentler later♡”
”Sorry. You were so cute, I thought I’d regret not kissing now. …Later then. Up we go.”
With free hands, he lifted Marina’s body.
She let out a short scream. He carried her over his shoulder, signaled Ashley, headed to the bed.
”Ashley, first show me how to remove Marina’s armor. If we wait till her turn, you’ll be too busy for that.”
”Hehe, probably. Princess, we start by taking off your clothes.”
”Ugh… Feels like a princess sold by her maid to bandits.”
Marina muttered, half given up as he carried her.
But her voice did not sound unwilling. She seemed to enjoy it, like she had begged earlier.
He thought about full bandit play since she was into it, but it might embarrass him if rejected, so he stopped.
–Normal play for the first time.
With that, he stepped into the true first meeting with his familiars.
Notes:
• Ashley – Count’s daughter, royal attendant, has a crush on Yuuri.
• Shelm – Wicked Goddess, reincarnated Yuuri, manipulative, wants him to use his power.
• Marina – First Princess of Restea—needs labyrinth escort.
