Chapter 58 Mercedes Salieri*
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Salieri Mercedes.
Mercedes – a girl who mutters “I’ll kill you” in a ceaseless, haunting loop.
She has black hair and obsidian eyes, colors that are quite rare in this world. Her frame is modest, her chest petite, and she is neatly groomed. With her large, upturned eyes, she would normally be considered quite beautiful, but the light has been utterly extinguished from her pupils. At first, I assumed it was because she had been subjected to every conceivable violation until her spirit broke. However, listening to her murderous whispers, it seems she is instead a prisoner of her own pure, unadulterated hatred.
Still… what does it take to drive a person this far?
”Actually, y’see… Mel-chan’s boyfriend was killed right in front of her by the leader, Zayed-san,” Alisha explained.
I see. So she’s an Avenger ¹, just like me.
But I’ve already killed Zayed. Even if I tried to tell her that, I doubt my words would even register in her current state. As I stood there, wondering how to handle her, Alisha offered a helping hand.
”If it’s just a matter of calming her mind… I can do that for you,” Alisha said.
”Can you really?” I asked.
”Mhm. If I use the healing magic ‘Insanity’ ²… she’ll regain her senses in no time,” Alisha replied.
”I see… Then please, do it.”
”Of course. Here we go then… ‘Insanity’.”
As Alisha cast the spell, the light slowly began to bleed back into Mercedes’s eyes.
”I’ll kill you… kill… you… wait, huh? Where… am I…?” Mercedes muttered.
”You seem to have come back to us. Don’t worry, you’re safe. I came to rescue you,” I said.
”To rescue…? Oh… right. Th-thank… you…” Mercedes whispered.
Mercedes started to sit up. She looked at me, then at her own body, and then –
”KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DON’T LOOK! GET OUT!”
”Whoa! My bad!” I yelled.
Her face flushed a deep crimson as she let out a piercing shriek. I hurriedly spun around. Well, considering every girl here besides Lil is currently stark naked, it’s no wonder. Thanks to the view, I’ve had a persistent erection for a while now.
”I mean, put some damn pants on, you pervert!!” Mercedes screamed.
Oh, right. I guess I never did get dressed after finishing up with Mim.
* * *
”I see… so they’re really dead,” Mercedes said, her voice hollow.
”Yeah. I suppose I ended up avenging you by accident. Or would you have preferred to take their lives with your own hands?” I asked.
”No. There was nothing I could have done anyway… but, wow. They’re really dead… Aha. Ahaha! Ahahahahahahahaha! Serves them right! That’s what you get for killing him! Ahahahahahaha…”
Mercedes laughed with a hint of madness before letting out a heavy, exhausted sigh.
”…Haha. He’s dead, and my revenge is gone. What am I supposed to do now? There’s no reason for me to keep living,” Mercedes said.
”Um, Mel-chan?” Alisha asked softly.
”A world without him… I just want to die. I want to die and be with him again,” Mercedes sobbed.
”You! How can you say such things after being saved at such great cost!” Lil barked, her temper flaring.
”Mel-chan, you shouldn’t say that. It’s quite rude to our savior here, don’t you think?” Alisha added with a gentle chiding.
But Mercedes was deaf to them. Instead, she turned her vitriol on me.
”Nobody! Nobody asked you to save me!”
That did it. Something in me snapped. I’m not nearly mature enough to just stand there and take that kind of talk.
”Fine. So you wanted to die? I wasted my time saving you then,” I said.
”Truly,” Lil muttered, glaring at her. “Imagine saving someone who’s just looking for a grave.”
”…If you want to die that badly, fine. I’ll kill you myself.”
”-!?”
I had been keeping my back to her, but at those words, I turned to face her fully. I leveled my blade at her throat – specifically, the segmented whip-sword that belonged to Zayed. The very weapon that had ended her lover’s life.
Mercedes flinches for a heartbeat, but then she remembered she was naked. Her face turned beet red again as she tried to cover herself with her hands.
”Hey! Stop looking!”
”You’re about to die. Why bother being embarrassed?” I asked.
”B-because… being embarrassed is just embarrassing! Have a little tact, you moron!” Mercedes shouted.
”Um, Sieben… looking at this girl is starting to make me very, very annoyed,” Lil muttered through narrowed eyes.
”Me too. She’s a real pain in the ass,” I said.
”Who are you calling a pain!? …But, yeah. You’re right. I’m about to die… what am I doing, acting all shy…?” Mercedes said quietly.
She dropped her hands, exposing her bare body. Her petite breasts, her small n**ipss, the thin dark thicket below – it was all on display. Her skin was likely beautiful once, but now it was marred by scrapes and bruises. Her face remained flushed.
”Sigh… whatever. Since I’m here, I’ll act as your executioner,” I said.
”I… I see. Thank you,” Mercedes replied.
”Goodbye.”
I raised the sword high with one hand. Mercedes wore a self-mocking smile, looking like someone who had finally made peace with the end.
But I didn’t swing.
Becoming impatient, Mercedes snapped at me.
”Well? Get it over with! I’ve already braced myself!”
”Oh, by the way… have you heard of the Forest of Suicides ³? It’s where the souls of those who take their own lives end up. They say you wander there for eternity, never finding peace. Since I’m only acting on your behalf, this is basically suicide. Long story short: you won’t be seeing your boyfriend in the afterlife,” I said.
I recounted the lore of my old world as if I’d just remembered a trivial fact. I think that was a Buddhist concept? Well, it’s not like she’s a believer, so who knows if she’ll actually end up there.
”Wait… what? What are you talking about…?” Mercedes asked, her resolve wavering.
”Forget it. Not like it matters to someone who’s about to be a corpse,” I said.
With that, I swung the blade down at her. Mercedes let out a sharp gasp, screwing her eyes shut and crossing her arms in front of her body. Seeing that, I stopped the blade inches from her skin.
”…I knew it. You don’t actually want to die, do you?”
”That… that’s not…” Mercedes stammered.
”Then why cover your eyes? Why try to protect your body?” I asked.
”I…”
”If you really wanted to die, you could have just bitten off your own tongue by now! Someone who can’t even think of that – let alone do it – has no business claiming they want to end it all!”
”Ugh… but… I really… I don’t know how to live in this world anymore…” Mercedes whispered.
The sharp crack of a palm meeting skin rang out. Alisha had slapped her.
”Enough of this! Who do you think you are, playing the tragic heroine like this? You aren’t the only unhappy person in the world! Everyone suffers, everyone loses things! But they keep their heads up and keep moving! Stop being such a spoiled brat!” Alisha yelled.
Gone was Alisha’s airy tone. She was practically spitting the words.
”Besides, if you die, there are people who will be sad. You aren’t alone. So…”
Alisha stepped between us. She faced me, dropped to her knees, and pressed her forehead to the dirt in a deep bow ⁴.
”Please… please don’t kill Mel-chan. I’m begging you,” Alisha said.
”Alisha…” Mercedes gasped.
”Sigh.”
I let out a long breath and sheathed the sword.
”Alisha, I never had any intention of killing her. Look at her face – does that look like someone who has given up on everything? She’s got plenty of fire left, whether it’s anger or embarrassment,” I said.
”Really?” Alisha asked, looking up.
”Really. I just had to do that to make her realize it herself. She actually wants to live,” I replied.
”I… uh…” Mercedes trailed off, speechless.
”Well, Alisha basically said everything I wanted to say. For now, just focus on finding something to do. Something interesting,” I said.
Something other than vengeance.
”But… if he’s not here, nothing is interesting. Everything is just… boring,” Mercedes said.
”In that case… why don’t you try being held by him?” Alisha suggested.
””WH-WHAT?!””
Our voices synced up perfectly as Alisha returned to her usual, bubbly tone. I mean, I was planning on sleeping with her to heal her injuries, but still.
”His s*x… it feels soooo good, you know? Why don’t you just give it a try?” Alisha said with a playful smile.
”Look, I’m broken. I’m frigid,” Mercedes said. “Even when those bastards forced themselves on me, I didn’t feel a thing. It was nothing. I was angry, sure, but my body… it stayed dead.”
Frigid, she says. Whether that’s a psychological wall or a physical truth remains to be seen.
”Well, I planned for that from the start,” I countered.
”What? So you’re no different from the bandits?” Mercedes asked. “You just want to use me the same way.”
”That’s not it at all!” Alisha chirped, stepping in. “When you have s*x with him, your wounds actually heal. See?”
Alisha started hopping on the spot to demonstrate. With every jump, her massive breasts swayed grandly. It was quite a view, and she didn’t seem to care that I was staring.
”Now that you mention it… your leg tendons were slashed, weren’t they?” Mercedes muttered. “And yet… wow. Alisha, your chest is as incredible as ever.”
I couldn’t help but silently agree.
Mercedes bit her lip, her face flushing a deep crimson as she looked away. “If that’s really how it works… fine. I’ll let you do it. But don’t get the wrong idea! This is strictly treatment. It’s a medical necessity. Don’t think for a second I’m doing this because I like you!” she shouted.
God, she was textbook tsundere.
* * *
”I’ve said it before, but… this is incredibly embarrassing! So at least… please, from behind…” Mercedes whispered.
”Yeah, yeah,” I replied.
Watching Mercedes flush with shame felt surprisingly fresh. Between Lil and Honoka-who had long since abandoned any sense of modesty-seeing someone so genuinely flustered was a treat. Even Alisha seemed used to being watched. Seeing Mercedes writhe in pure humiliation… I have to admit, it really got to me.
”Stop it! Don’t stare at me like that!” Mercedes cried.
She looked like she was on the verge of tears. I moved behind her, pulling her naked body flush against mine. The contact was immediate-bare skin on skin. I reached around to cup her breasts, but just as she’d warned, there was no reaction. I rolled her n**ipss between my fingers, feeling them perk up and harden, though it was likely just a physical reflex.
”See? Nothing. You can fiddle with them all you want, but I don’t feel anything,” she said flatly.
Her voice was devoid of emotion. She was a tough nut to crack-or maybe I was just used to the other girls, who were far more sensitive. I kept teasing her n**ipss with my left hand while my right slid down between her thighs. I felt her; she was bone dry.
”Tell me something,” I asked. “Did those bandits just force themselves in while you were like this?”
”Yes,” she replied, her voice trembling. “At first, it was just pure pain. After that… I lost count of how many took turns. I felt nothing. Just the shame of it.”
They’d treated her like a discarded toy. It soured my mood. Sex should be mutual. Even when I’d broken Honoka in the Nightmare, I’d made sure she was drowning in ecstasy. I’d turned her into a woman who couldn’t live without my touch, but she’d enjoyed every second of it.
Thinking about what those bandits did made my blood boil. Maybe her “frigidity” was just the scar they’d left behind.
I traced the line of her slit with my middle finger. Still no reaction. I pushed a finger inside. She was tight-painfully so. I worked my finger in and out, the wet friction beginning to echo, but she still wasn’t producing any moisture. Then, my finger brushed against a firm ridge.
”Nngh! …What was that?” Mercedes gasped.
A reaction. I’d found her G-spot. I focused everything there, hooking my finger against the spot repeatedly.
”Ah! Wait-stop! What is this? What are you doing to me?! Nh-hhee! Haa… ah! Hiaaan!”
Mercedes’ face was bright red now, her breath hitching into ragged gasps. The dry friction was gone, replaced by a flood of her own slick heat. Her n**ipss changed, too. When I pinched them now, she jolted.
”Hiu! Why… my chest… ah! It never… it never felt like this before! Ah, hieeen!”
The G-spot stimulation had opened the floodgates. She began to writhe against me, her body finally waking up.
”Ah! Ah! Wait, please! Something… something is happening!” Mercedes cried out. “I’ve never felt anything like this! No, stop-I’m going to… I’m going to lose it! I’m coming! I’m cominggggg!”
”That’s right, Mercedes. That’s what pleasure feels like. Don’t fight it. Just let go,” I said.
”It feels… so good! Haan! Here it comes! I’m-I’m c**ming! I’m cummingggggg!”
Mercedes squirted violently from my fingers and climaxed hard. She went limp, her weight sagging back against me as she tried to catch her breath.
”Haa… haa… haa… that was… unbelievable,” she panted. “I didn’t know… it could feel like that…”
”We’re just getting started,” I said. “It gets much better.”
”Better? How could it possibly-kyaa!”
I flipped her over onto her hands and knees, grabbing her hips to tilt her up. I had a perfect view of everything.
”No! Don’t look! It’s too much! I’m so embarrassed!” Mercedes protested.
”Embarrassed? Why? You’re beautiful. So beautiful I want to taste you,” I told her.
”Wait, what are you-hyan! Ah! Not there! Don’t lick me there! Hinyaaaaaa!”
I ignored her, burying my face between her thighs. I made sure to be loud about it, slurping up the moisture she was still leaking.
”You taste amazing, Mercedes,” I whispered.
”Don’t say that! Ahh! I’m-I’m going again! Already! It’s coming back!”
A second wave erupted. The woman who claimed to feel nothing was now twitching in the throes of a back-to-back climax.
”Hahi, hahee… I came again… I can’t believe it…”
”I told you. Now, for the real thing,” I said.
”The real thing…?”
I gripped her waist and slowly eased my c**k into her. Despite the orgasms, she was still incredibly tight-the friction was borderline painful as I slid home.
”A-aaah… it’s inside… I can feel you filling me up… You’re so deep inside me…” Mercedes moaned.
”Damn… you’re so tight…”
I kept pushing until she’d swallowed my entire length. Honestly, she was the tightest girl I’d ever been with. I felt like I was going to blow just from the sensation of being inside her.
”I’m all the way in,” I grunted.
”Ah… it’s so big… I’m so full… Hahi, hafu… I feel like just having you there is going to make me go again… n-an, an…”
”Hold on,” I said.
”Wait… no… ah! You moved! Ryaaaaaaaaaaa!”
A single thrust was all it took. I didn’t stop, pounding into her as my own restraint crumbled.
”Hihyaaaaaaaaaaaa! No! No more! Don’t go any deeper! It feels too goooood! I can’t-if I’d known it was like this, I could never have died! I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I don’t want to die yet!”
I didn’t know who she was apologizing to, but she kept crying out as she came over and over. I was reaching my limit, too.
”I’m sorry! I can’t live without this anymore! Hahieen! No, stop-my head is going white! I’m going to go crazy! I’m dying! I’m dyinggggg!” Mercedes screamed.
”Then die! Erase the old you and be reborn! I’m… I’m c**ming!”
”Hahiie! I’m dying! I’m being reborn! Aaaaaah! I’m c**ming! I’m cumminggggggggg!”
I buried myself deep inside her as we both hit the peak. I poured everything I had into her, and as she climaxed, she lost control completely, her bladder giving way at the same time she squirted.
”Hahi, hahee… incredible,” she whispered, her eyes glazed. “If I’d known it could be like this… dying seems so stupid now. I want… I want you to keep doing this to me…”
She was panting, her expression completely melted. The woman who wanted to end her life was now begging for more.
I felt her wounds closing up as her body absorbed the energy. I pulled out with a wet pop. As usual, there was no mess-the s**men had been absorbed as life-force.
”Ahn… I wanted you to stay inside… Please, just a little more…”
”Later, I promise,” I said.
She was already an addict. I wanted to give in, but I had one more patient waiting.
Marguerite-the girl with the long, pale-blue hair. She was next.
