Vol. 1 Chapter 1.5

Translated by SoundDestiny Edited by SoundDestiny

I was sitting up straight whilst rubbing my swelling red cheeks and Lili was there glaring at me.

I probably don’t need to say it but I just got slapped.

“In other words, you don’t want to be laughed at for being a virgin and terrible at sex, so you want to practice with Lili, is that right?”

“….Did you forget about your Devi part?”

“Shut up. Just answer the question.”

“Yes …… in layman’s terms, well …… that’s what I mean ….”

“…I’ll kill you.”

I involuntarily back away from Lili, who begins to unleash an unbelievable killing frenzy.

“W–wait a minute!　Lili is at fault too. If you’re dressed like that, I’d think I would be getting laid! I mean, you’re a demon, right?　Why do you care about chastity?”

“Lili is a girl before she’s a demon! I’ve been asked to be a practice subject because you want to hold the other girls, how can I put it,Oh yeah, You are a moron!”

Her words are reasonable that I couldn’t say anything back.

“But you said you’d help me with the full power of the demon world.”

“Ugh…..I did say that, but….”

“Because Lili is so cute. I want a cute girl for my first time, too.”

“Eh, I-I am cute? You think? Ehehe.”

Aree? That’s kind of a surprising reaction. Maybe Lili is a weak girl when compliments come to her.

“That’s right. Therefore, you know!”

“Yeah, okay…. Is that what you think I would say?! Idiot!”

“It failed huh….”

Lili sighs exaggeratedly as I slump my shoulders.

“Geez….just when I think you’ve got the motivation, this is what I get right away. After kidnapping a girl all the boys can think of is how to do ecchi things with them…. Ahhh I’ve had enough of this, this is the worst!”

“No, you see, because, you know, killing is too much.”

“What do you mean? isn’t it way better to just kill her cleanly.”

“Y–y..you, You’re the devil only in that part.”

“Don’t just say that!”

“In any case! I have no intention of killing her, okay!”

“Muu…..”

Lili puffed out her cheeks.

She’s not happy that I don’t have the stomach to kill people and that I don’t go all evil on her.

Her gestures are cute, but the content of her anger is not cute at all.

“So if I don’t kill her, I will have to release her at some stage right? so I need to figure out a way to silence her. In that case wouldn’t it be better if I can do ecchi things to her and make her fall in love with me and make her listen to my commands…?”

“Are you stupid?”

Lili turns her eyes towards me.

“Well, then…I’ll just use some magic or something to get her to do my bidding.”

“Magic, you say?”

She then laughed snidely, as if to make fun of him.

“This is not like in the manga.”

“Coming from you!?”

“Look, I’ll tell you! Magic, hypnosis,making a girl fall in love with you and she’ll do anything you say… all that stuff! It’s just a virgin’s fantasy.”

“W–wait! Don’t ruin a boy’s dream so easily!”

“It’s the truth.”

“You’re so mean….Damn it! Shit────!”

I pounded the floor in a hot-blooded frustration and Lili wagged her index finger from side to side, clicking her tongue [tsk, tsk, tsk].

I don’t know how to feel about her, she’s still annoying, this girl. But she’s cute. That’s what’s so annoying.

“Don’t be so quick to give up. Didn’t you realise?　There’s something in what I just said that isn’t included?”

“Wh……what?”

“Brainwashing.”

“Brainwashing? Isn’t brainwashing the same as hypnosis?”

“No, it’s not. Idiot..”

When I looked involuntarily miffed, she thrust her nose up and began to explain.

“Look.　Human common sense is not something that is absolutely unchanging. For example, you are taught that you should not waste food, that you should be kind to others, that you should take good care of our friends, etc. These things, which we have learnt through experience, are called common sense. Do you understand?　The technique of breaking down that common sense and instilling a new common sense that is convenient for you. That is brainwashing.”

“Uwa……,it’s starting to sound difficult.”

“Of course it is difficult. But you know, brainwashing is a speciality of us demons. It’s what we do best. How about it? I can teach you this, do you want it?”

“Really? I’d love to! Lili-sensei.”

“Sensei? Mufufu, you are calling me sensei now huh? Well, we don’t have time to waste, let’s begin the spartan training… devi!”

Suddenly remembering about it, she began to add 『devi』 to the end of her sentences again.

Apparently she has recovered her mood a little.

Thus, under Lili-sensei’s guidance, the construction of the Kurosawa-san brainwashing programme began.

“I am hungry…”

I said it out loud.

Of course, no one answered me.

“I want fried chicken, I want steamed buns. I want to eat a cake filled with strawberries. I want some chips, I want some milk tea…”

I want to eat all of that. The more I think about it, the harder it gets and the more I want to cry.

Guu ……Kyuru…….

In the darkness, my stomach rumbles incessantly. The water left by the creepy man has quenched my thirst, but this time my hunger is unbearable.

‘How long have I not eaten anything?’

The last thing he remembers is the croissant and salad he had for breakfast. I now regret saying to my mum, 『I don’t want fried eggs』.

Still, it’s not as bad as it was a while ago.

I’ve heard that as long as I drink water, I won’t starve to death so easily, so I guess it wasn’t a lie. Some of my modelling friends were even addicted to fasting diets, so I should be okay…..for a while.

My sense of the date is vague. When I’m in this dark room, it’s hard to tell if it’s day or night.

My physical condition has worsened. I don’t have the energy to think about anything except that I’m hungry, I have a stomach ache and I feel nauseous all the time. And I’m kind of feverish, and I feel fuzzy, like there’s a haze in my head.

“Haa…..”

All I can do is sigh.

I hold the plastic bottle and lie down.

Chapun , the sound of water bouncing. I felt the water bobbing in the plastic bottle in my arms.

I must drink it carefully. That’s what I thought, but then I realised that only about a third of the water was left.

Nevertheless, my situation is still completely unknown.

I don’t even know where I am, there are no windows and I can’t hear anything outside even with my ear to the wall. I smashed my phone angrily when the battery ran out and there was no way to ask for help, nothing.

“’A room created by demonic forces…… it’s imposible…right..”

I still think all of this is a lie. He is just trying to scare me.

The only thing I know for sure is that the disgusting man has confined me in this room.

I never thought that a guy like that would have the guts to do something like this.

No matter how close I was to death, I feel too sorry for myself to have to beg forgiveness from that guy.

I’m a beautiful girl model, if I do say so myself, right? A celebrity, you know?　Even if I gathered 100 people like that, I would be much, much more valuable. The world is unreasonable. I really feel so silly.

But still…

“I’ll let you have sex with me!”

Recalling the words that came out of my own mouth, I fluttered my arms and legs.

‘Aaahhh! Mouu!　Why did I say that? It’s true, he’s a bastard! He’s not even qualified to touch me!’

Of course, it’s just a distraction.

The thirst is too painful and I want water as soon as possible. If the goal is to have sex, I want it to be quick and I want to drink water. As soon as I thought that, words like that reflexively popped out of my mouth.

“I want to die…..”

That’s a lie, I don’t want to die. But I feel so much self-loathing.

When my own muttering voice stops echoing, the room once again returns to a painful silence.

In the beginning when I was locked in, I was so angry and pissed off that I kicked the walls and screamed, but it was after the battery on my phone ran out that I became anxious.

The room was pitch black and there was not a single sound other than the sound of my own stomach growling. I don’t think I had ever been so scared of being alone before.

So, very unwillingly, I was honestly relieved when that creep came into the room.

“Will he really try to kill me…? I think he wouldn’t go that far right?”

The reasonI am speaking about such things as if they were other people is because my sense of reality is not doing good.

However, if he didn’t give me any water I might have already died at this time and if I can’t eat anything, then it may be possible to really die someday.

How long has it been since the disgusthing man left?

It might be weird to say this but, even if it is him, I honestly wish he would come sooner….

Noticing such a thought, I shake my head.

Because it’s not like that. I don’t want to see him. It’s just being inside of this pitch-dark room,  my mind has weakened.

It’s just that if that creep doesn’t come, I won’t be able to talk about going home.

“『I’m not interested in bitches.』”

That’s what he said, but it annoys me.

Who does he really think he is? It’s a strong statement to say that he is not interested in me.

I really, really hate it, but I have no choice but to get out of here, I’m willing to let him have sex with me at least once. It’s better than dying. Of course, if I get out, I’ll report him to the police.

If we do end up having sex, the only consolation is that this is not my first time.

My first time was….last week, and I gave it to Jun-kun.

The first time I had sex with him it hurt, but it was warm, gentle,soft and happy.

So it doesn’t matter what he does to me….I can just think of it like a stray dog biting me.

More than that, I don’t think I can stand not seeing Jun-kun as it is.

I traced the present from Jun-kun – a silver necklace – with my fingertips and quietly closed my eyes.

“Jun-kun……I miss you so much.”

“OK Devi, it’s perfect Devi!”

The guidance on building and implementing the brainwashing programme began on Saturday morning. The whole process, with a few breaks in between, was completed the following day, Sunday morning, after six o’clock.

“I wonder if it’s really safe to do this.”

“Aah!　You don’t believe me, do you–Devi? This is just like disciplining a dog. It’s a matter of using the whip and the candy. Anyway, the first step is to make them feel scared, so don’t give in!”

“But…..violence is not a good thing to do.”

“Don’t worry, just a light tap is enough, Devi. After all, the other person is dying.”

“Well, surely you’re right. She’s only been drinking water for three whole days now. If I’m too reckless, she might actually die.”

“But three days is a good time, Devi.”

“Why?”

“It’s when a person starts to have cognitive problems.”

“What’s that?”

“Simply put–Devi. It’s like running out of gas. If you don’t eat anything, your body runs out of glucose, the substance that makes your brain work, so it makes a substitute substance.”

“Substitutes?”

“That’s right. Something to replace it, Devi. It’s not exactly the same as glucose. The ratio of the substitute substance increases to a maximum after 72 hours. In other words, three full days devi. By that time, she can’t think straight, Devi. You can think of it as a drop in intelligence to the level of a drunk.”

“I see…”

I was surprised that Lili, whom I thought was an idiot, could talk like this so smoothly, but I guess demons usually make use of this kind of thing.

“Anyway, it’s a physical challenge at first, Devi. Now you’re going to go to bed and have a rest, Devi. Then, when you wake up, the programme will begin.

Saying this, she gave a thumbs-up.

“With this you will be able to graduate from being a virgin-devi!”
