Chapter 157: Hinata's Fall Begins
______________________________________________________________________
- Felix -
Luminous and I continued to cuddle on the couch as we watched the broadcast of the events going on around the world. Hinata had just finished handling the S Rank Gate. The Gate was disappearing, so she probably killed the Monarch inside of it.
Rest in peace Monarchs. They lost another one of their bunch. I really was their bad luck charm, and I didn't even do anything this time. Though, this would likely have been the result no matter what.
In the span of a few hours, Hinata had become absurdly famous. Almost as famous as I was in this world.
There were already many posts about her, questioning where she came from, whether she was some secret weapon raised in a lab by the Japanese government due to her clear Japanese heritage, as well as a host of other conspiracy theories.
It was amusing for Luminous and I to read them at least.
Then there was Milim who was causing a ruckus in the United States. She clearly got bored and decided to venture out a bit, and Sirka, the enabler that she was, of course went with her.
She ended up encountering this world's strongest Hunter and getting into a fight with him. One that could have clearly been avoided, but Milim knew to hold back, so I didn't stop it once I learned about it. At least she was enjoying herself.
The S Rank Gate over there was handled as well, so no extra deaths on that front either. All the other S Rank Gates had been handled, all by the vessels of the Rulers, even the one that wasn't a National Hunter, though he certainly was at that power level.
I wasn't sure how much contact the Rulers had made with their vessels, but they all made an impressive showing despite how little they were featured in the original work of Solo Leveling.
The fight between Milim and Thomas was over now, with Milim being able to solve the misunderstanding on her own with Thomas Andre. It was a good thing too. Apparently, the government was considering nuking the city they were in, funnily enough, since it looked like Thomas was actually having some trouble, which was causing some public outrage.
No one wanted to hear that they and their home was on the verge of being destroyed.
How that information was leaked, I didn't know, but it only signified incompetence somewhere.
The fight, of course, ended in Milim's absolute victory even as she used the gauntlets meant to restrict her power. But she had a good time it seems, and her and Thomas Andre's fists did the talking and allowed them to connect.
Now Milim was being broadcasted still, but she and Thomas were laughing about something. Sirka was there but she was mostly just unfreezing all the ice she created everywhere.
Now there were many articles about Milim now as well, with many wondering about if the two of us were connected. Her power was undeniable, and the only other person that showed off her level of power as of recently was me. Plus, she made a loud greeting, announcing herself as Demon Lord Milim Nava.
I wasn't going to bother Milim. She seemed to be enjoying herself, and she could come back whenever she felt like. Though I imagine she wouldn't be gone for long, or at least I hope not. I wanted to explore a bit of the other dimensions with her.
Once the government came along and started asking questions, I imagine she'd just leave. She was never one for boring talks like that, and without Frey here to push her into them, Milim won't care enough.
With what happened, I planned to take her with me to the International Guild Conference as well. She'd at least be able to have some fun there, probably.
"That Human was rather powerful. He was a vessel of those so-called Rulers you said?" Luminous asked from my lap that her head was laying on.
Once I showed up, she quickly beckoned me to serve as her "throne", by which she meant someone she could lie on.
I gave a slight nod. "Yes. Thomas Andre is one of them. A fragment of the Rulers' power was embedded in him, granting him strength far beyond ordinary Hunters. I think he's one of the more compatible ones too, so he can use more of their power."
He didn't use his Ruler-mode or whatever he calls it, in which he takes on an armor of some sort and grows far stronger, but even without that he would stomp Clayman at least.
"Creating vessels; quite the interesting tactic the Rulers have made."
"It works for them, I guess." I said with a shrug.
"Hmm, do you think he is worth recruiting?"
"Probably not worth the hassle to be honest. He seems uncontrollable. I'm sure you could tame him, but in the end you don't need him." I said with a shrug. "And in the end, his current strength is all from an external source. Chances are he won't keep it if he comes back with us. Your best bet is looking for people with the right mindset and personality rather than just outright power."
"Too true. Any other people you believe are worth recruiting?"
I thought for a moment before responding, telling Luminous all I knew about the people I believed may be receptive to her recruitment.
Othinus was already in the web of this world, so it was easy for her to get some personality profiles on some Hunters for me to share with Luminous. Not many had the mindset that would willingly work under Luminous, and had the right mindset to actually survive in the Cardinal World, so that narrowed down the list a lot.
To be honest, she most likely wasn't going to find top tier talent in this world. All the power of the Hunters came from an external source, making them far less capable.
Luminous reached for the TV remote. "Hmm, I see. It seems I will have my work cut out for me then if I wish to recruit anyone from this world.."
"If I were you, I'd be happy with a single recruit." I told her.
"Hmm." She nodded. "Changing the topic, I did not get the opportunity to ask previously, but how is the alliance with Dagruel progressing? I have opted to stay mostly uninvolved as my involvement will likely only agitate Dagruel with our shared history."
"Arcueid told me that Dagruel's representative was on his way when I went to pick you and Hinata up. I imagine the talks are done by now. Arcueid told me she'd contact me if anything urgent came up, so I can only assume that things went well with that."
Luminous nodded, a satisfied smile on her face. "Good. Having that man on our side will only be a boon, even if it is only an economical alliance. So long as he had less of a reason to attack us when the Eastern Empire is already making its move, then our objective with the deal has been accomplished."
"That's true."
The main reason I reached out to him was because Chloe had stated in pretty much all the alternate timelines she could remember, Dagruel ended up attacking, taking advantage of the chaos the Eastern Empire had caused.
Though the situation was different back then as well. Neither Rimuru or I were Demon Lords, so we were far weaker. This was the only timeline in which the both of us became strong so early on, which was why it was essentially our "golden timeline", and the last timeline if I had anything to say about it.
"Things are all going rather smoothly for the time being, but that will probably change once the Eastern Empire makes its move. There is a saying from my old world: no plan ever survives contact with the enemy."
A quote that I particularly liked was, Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan.
Leonard Snart was simply him.
"Hmm, a smart man who said that." Luminous stated. "I would like to see your home world some day." She said offhandedly.
"My original world is who knows where. It is most certainly different from Rimuru's own world despite the similarities." I said with a shrug. "But I was planning to return to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen at some point, to see what the chaos I caused there has resulted in. I just wanted to give the world more time to "marinate"."
"I see." Luminous responded.
We returned to a comfortable silence for a little while, Luminous just laying on my lap, and me sitting on the couch experimenting with some spells in the palm of my hand.
Eventually Luminous broke that silence. "I imagine they are going to be gone for some time." She said as a saucy smirk began to form on her face. Her head moved slightly to rub against my crotch. "What say you? Why don't the two of us enjoy ourselves? I still have not gotten my revenge for all your teasing."
I raised a brow. "Oh? Is that the only reason?" I said, wanting to get her to admit it. Our relationship was one of a lot of teasing and playing "games" with one another.
After a moment of silence, with Luminous realizing I wasn't going to budge she clicked her tongue in annoyance, but her heterochromatic eyes glowed with more hunger than annoyance.
Her head pressed harder against my lap, the silken strands of her hair shifting against me as her smirk widened. I could feel her teeth faintly graze through the fabric, teasing me. "Tsk fine. You've tormented me enough with that wretched skill of yours." She whispered, her voice dropping into a husky growl as her cheek rubbed insistently against the bulge straining beneath my pants. "That vile Skill of yours has also made my Spirit begin to crave you. We have not been intimate in some time, and I shall not be content until you're writhing the same way you made me."
My hand slid into her hair, combing through the smooth strands, pulling her head back enough to make her look up at me. Her lips parted as if on instinct, her tongue slipping out just barely, catching the edge of my thumb when I traced it across her mouth. She gave it a slow, deliberate lick, eyes narrowing sultrily.
Man she really knew exactly what to do to get me going. And this was without even using Asmodeus' more pleasurable effects.
Still I had a response prepared. I would not lose this game against Luminous! "Writhing?" I echoed, amused, enchanting my words with Alluring Whisper in the process. "You're ambitious today."
"Not ambitious." She corrected, her tongue curling around my finger before she let it pop free with a soft, wet sound. "Confident is the right word. I took inspiration from your Skill. Asmodeus can be quite… potent when used in such ways."
The remote clattered to the floor as she crawled up my body without hesitation, straddling me in one smooth motion.
The press of her thighs against mine was hot and intimate. Her dress rode high as she shifted, grinding down to feel the hardness she had been taunting out of me. I could feel her panties already getting soaked through.
She was a lewd Vampire through and through.
"Mmh–hnnh…" A throat moan spilled from her as she rocked against me, her hands clutching my shoulders, nails biting through the fabric of my shirt. "Do you feel that? That is what you've done to me. Weeks of denial… festering need…" Her lips hovered over mine, close enough that I could feel her breath.
My palm slid down her back, gripping her firmly by the waist, dragging her tighter against me. The swell of her breasts pressed against my chest as she arched, gasping when my other hand traced beneath the hem of her dress.
"Weeks of denial, hmm?" I murmured, fingers teasing just high enough to make her squirm. "Then I think you should beg me properly." I said sadistically.
Luminous enjoyed this little game of ours when it came to bedroom stuff. With both of us trying to get the other to submit.
Her fangs flashed as she bit her lip, a half snarl, half moan leaving her lips. "Tch… you dare… after everything you've made me endure?" She ground down harder, her hips circling with deliberate friction, her breath hitching as the head of my cock rubbed just right against the damp heat seeping through her panties.
Then her control cracked as her mouth crashed against my own. Our lips met and her tongue invaded my mouth with hunger.
The kiss was messy, but it was just what Luminous seemed to want.
Her hips rolled faster now, grinding her soaking panties against me partly in desperation and need, and another part of her wanting to tease me further.
My hands gripped tighter, one cupping the curve of her ass to force her movements rougher, the other sliding up beneath her dress to pull the fabric aside and finally feel the slick heat directly.
She shuddered violently when my fingers found her bare, dripping folds. I luxuriated in the sound of her breath catching and turning into a whine. "Aaahh– Felix~!" She bit down on my lip hard enough to draw blood, then licked it away.
I could feel a fog enter my mind as I desired nothing but her in the moment. I blinked as I realized what she had done.
"I didn't expect you to use Asmodeus like this." I said in amusement, even as I continued to toy with her lower lips.
"Mmm~! O-Of course I needed a c-card against youuu~!" She squealed as two of my fingers pinched her clit.
She was releasing a lustful Aura made of Love Energy that was mostly concealed unless I looked for it. One meant to sneak into my Spirit to essentially heighten my own sensitivity and crave Luminous' touch. Similar to what I had done to Luminous in the past.
But Luminous was thinking too low of me if she thought she could get me with this alone. She could still do much with Asmodeus, and we had just begun, but this first plot of Luminous' had failed.
"Hmm, well keep trying. It'll only be more fun for you to lose on my cock that way." I whispered directly into her ear with Alluring Whisper, even as her lustful aura continued to try to tempt me.
By now it had spread throughout the entire room. I could feel it ripple through the air, an aura of insatiable hunger that tried to crawl under my skin, as it tried to make me hers with sheer overwhelming lust.
My fingers spread her slick folds, stroking her deliberately slow, Ecstasy Touch sufficing her being with my own Love Energy. Her squeals were music to my ears, even as she made me groan and want her even more with her continued grinding.
"Yess~ Just like this Felix~!" She moaned into my ears as I teased her pussy lips. Her nails dug into my shoulders until the fabric tore, which was an entirely other thing with the grade they were.
She grinded against my fingers despite her body already shuddering with the brink of climax.
And that was when I locked her down with Despair Lock, it was a cruel twist of Love Energy, denying her the orgasm that her trembling core was screaming for. If she wanted to play this game to determine who would dominate who, then I'd be going all out.
Her scream of pleasure broke into a frustrated snarl as I kept her on the edge.
"You…d-damnable bastard! How dare you–haa–mmgh~!" Her eyes rolled back, teeth gritted as her body shook helplessly, trapped between unbearable ecstasy and total denial, Ecstasy Touch making even a simple climax something that would shatter ordinary minds.
I leaned up, whispering into her ear, my Alluring Whisper wrapping every syllable with more Love Energy meant to seep right into her soul. "Beg for it, Luminous. Tell me how badly you want to come. Tell me what your heart craves… and maybe I'll allow it."
Her body arched violently at my voice. My cock throbbed painfully as her aura wrapped around me, Asmodeus' domination grinding against my own Lover Skill.
But Heart's Desire made it easy for me to learn her desires, making winning this game of ours child's play for me. But I was enjoying the process so I wanted to take it slow.
I smirked into her lips as I drove two fingers deep inside her, Ecstasy Touch sending more pleasure into her. Her head snapped back as her hair went flying with her. Her lips were stretched open as she moaned her approval. "Nnnn~! Y-You! Yessh~!"
And I still kept Despair Lock going, preventing her from reaching an orgasm. Her pussy was squeezing around my fingers desperately with every denied release. Her juices spilled hot and messy against my palm, but she would not orgasm until I allowed her to, something she was beginning to realize she couldn't fight against.
Even Asmodeus, Lord of Lust, failed to break through the seal I placed on her. I had the data on the Skill, of course I could counteract its effects.
We kept going on like that for who knows how long. Luminous' wouldn't break easily, so I was prepared to play the long game here.
Eventually she collapsed forward against me, even as her nipples pressed through her gown and into my chest. "P-please…" She finally croaked, her pride finally giving in.
I cupped her chin, forcing her glassy eyes to meet mine. "That's better." I hummed.
Her nails scraped down my chest, tearing fabric, and suddenly I could feel Asmodeus' power surge again. A wave of lust came down onto me as she attempted to flood me with Love Energy. Her Ultimate Skill allowing her to pour every ounce of her hunger into me.
The raw hunger of her Love Energy coursed through me, almost telling me to drown in her need, to surrender and rut like an animal until nothing remained of my pride.
It was certainly something.
And yet… I laughed.
My control over Love Energy was great, but Luminous had an inherent talent for it, something that couldn't be replicated with data alone. But even then that would not be enough.
My cock twitched painfully against her soaked thighs, with Heart's Desire painted her entire facade in bright, humiliating colors. I could see through her desires.
Beneath the commands and domination, she was attempting was the truth she couldn't hide from me. She didn't truly want to win in this game of ours, she just didn't want to just give in. Her masochistic streak was beginning to show.
With my fingers still buried inside of her cunt, my knuckles curled as I thrust them in harder. I flared Ecstasy Touch to a degree that she snapped upright as she squealed her pleasure. "Ohh~! Yeshhhh~!" She moaned as she attempted to climax around my fingers yet again.
"You're trying to tame me, Luminous? Trying to bind me with Asmodeus?" My lips brushed her ear. "But we both know what you want."
She thrashed weakly against me, as her Spirit literally began to seek mine own out.
"Nnnn~! L-Liar!" Her words dissolved into helpless moans as her pussy convulsed tighter around my fingers, her body and Spirit betraying her protests. I kept the Despair Lock in place, not yet allowing her to cum.
Juices poured down my wrist, dripping into my lap and soaking us both.
"P-please… please, Felix… I–I can't~!" I could feel her Spirit entwine with my own as it attempted to seek out its own pleasure, surrendering to me completely. Let me cum, p-pwease~!"
I laughed as I used my own Love Energy, ready to finally have my way with the Demon Lord on my lap. I forced my Love Energy into her cunt through my fingers, forcing it into her breasts where her hardened nipples pressed against my chest, forcing it into her tongue when I claimed her mouth in a rough kiss.
She moaned into my mouth as her eyes rolled up, as I had my way with her tongue and mouth, as she gave into me. My hands wandered upwards, groping her breasts as one hand pinched a hard nipple.
"Mmmm~!" She continued to squeal into my mouth, submitting to my whims.
Then I finally dropped the Despair Lock.
"W-Yeshhhhhhh~!" She squealed, the whole neighborhood would have heard if there was no barrier around the house.
Her head snapped back as her cunt exploded around my fingers, juices squirting messily across my lap. The Love Energy that was released at once was overwhelming her Spirit and soul, forever tainting it for me, and her Spirit practically welcomed it.
I pulled my soaked fingers free and shoved them into her mouth, forcing her to taste her own juices as I enjoyed my victory over her. She clung to my fingers as she whimpered around them, eyes glazed with bliss and humiliation. "That's better." I growled into her ear.
As I lowered her down gently, I shifted Space, shifting us to her bedroom. I was positioning myself above her, my cock pressed against her drenched entrance. I reached out and tore her dress off of her, allowing me to see her body bare.
"Mmm, I really am glad that I bagged you for myself." I said as I reached out to grope a tit.
Luminous couldn't respond, but I continued nonetheless, even as I enjoyed her ahego, complete with the lolling tongue and everything. Lover really was cheating. S
he'd come back to sanity soon enough. With one brutal thrust I buried myself inside her, stretching her cunt wide, slamming into the core of her womb.
Her eyes shot wide open as she squealed before I shut her up with my mouth. I forced her tongue to obey my own, as she meekly allowed me to enjoy her mouth as she continued to moan into my lips.
Her moans were pure masochistic bliss at this point as I just had my way with her.
- Hinata Sakaguchi -
She continued to watch through the slightly cracked open door, even as she was on her knees.
She had returned not long ago from Japan. She had answered some questions, but she was vague to now allow anyone to realize where she truly came from. The government clearly wasn't satisfied with that, but they weren't idiotic enough to push the person who had single handedly saved their nation from an uncountable number of lost lives.
She had rejected the monetary reward they had provided, as in the end it would be useless to her. Japanese Yen was pointless, and the mana stones weren't anything special when compared to what she could get in the Cardinal World.
At most, the amount of mana stones they were planning to pay Yuri Orloff could be used to create a weapon just barely at the Legend Grade. And that too only with an absolute master of a craftsman.
In the end, what she had done had not been difficult for her. The Monarch was weaker than she expected. Even as a Divine Human, she likely would have won with her Ultimate Skill. Though that was cheating in the first place in this world.
In the Cardinal World, the Monarch would have been capable of wiping countries off the map. Though he wouldn't even touch the actual planet, merely what was constructed on top of it. Even she could hardly damage the Cardinal World itself despite being capable of wiping a continent's worth of settlements away easily.
Damage of that scale was perhaps only in the domain of the True Dragons.
One of the Hunters had impressed her as well. She was even thinking of recruiting and bringing her back to the Cardinal World.
She had even blessed her, Kanae Tawata as she had called herself. An S Rank Hunter, one far from the peak of this world, but she possessed the proper mindset. All she desired was to protect those who lacked the power to protect themselves.
She had been capable of Blessing others ever since she acquired Divinity, her Blessing giving the people that received them an improved computational power and supernatural instincts.
She still felt bad about ending the date with Felix the way it did, even if she knew that Felix did not mind. Seeing as what he was currently doing, he most certainly did not mind the early end to their date.
So she had come back, ready to apologize to Felix and talk about recruiting Kanae to Luminous.
But when she had arrived in the living room, there was a thick fog of energy in the air. Energy that almost seemed to invade Hinata's senses.
And now here she was, lingering at the crack of the door the two of them were past, the heavy lustful aura pressing down on her and invading her senses. She simply could not focus enough at fighting it off with all the debauchery she was seeing.
"Ohh yeshhh~!" Luminous squealed as Felix thrust in particularly deeply.
She had meant only to check in after her return.
Now there she was, frozen and on her knees, peeking through the crack in the door like some degenerate voyeur.
She could see them clearly through the narrow slit, with Felix pinning Luminous, a proud Demon Lord, beneath him, and Luminous simply going along with it as her eyes rolled into the back of her head.
Felix was merely having his way with her and her body, groping her and pinching her wherever and whenever he pleased.
Luminous' body was writhing in what seemed to be like shameless ecstasy, squealing under Felix's thrusts. She could even see Luminous' very Spirit entwine with Felix's own, as it complied with all his domineering desires of her.
She had never thought that Luminous was the type to be so… submissive. But then again she didn't know her friend in that kind of way.
And now she was just watching, her eyes unconsciously trailing up Felix's toned form.
"Mmm~" She found herself moan out as each roll of Felix's hips, each groan he let slip out almost seemed to reverberate through her body.
Hinata's thighs pressed together hard, her knees shifting on the floorboards. The Love Energy in the air continued to tempt her, and with how deep into their coupling they were, Hinata simply wanted to enjoy.
She continued to watch as she bit her lip. She could feel herself grow wet as her control began to slip. She simply was not used to this kind of situation.
She was supposed to be an honorable, disciplined knight, a bonafide True Hero, and yet she found herself shaking as her thighs rubbed together as her body and Spirit betrayed her.
She tried to steady herself, but each time Felix growled against Luminous' throat, each time Luminous moaned and begged, Hinata's Spirit only seemed to desire more. The aura had wrapped around her so completely she felt as though their Love Energy was crawling into her very soul.
Hinata shifted one hand between her thighs, meaning only to press down, to relieve some of the unbearable ache to her core, but the moment her fingers brushed the damp heat through her panties, she stifled a cry.
Her back arched helplessly, her body and Spirit continuing to betray her. In the back of her mind she realized that all the Love Energy in the air was clearly affecting her.
Especially since Luminous had offhandedly mentioned developing a "lust aura" meant to in Luminous' own words, "bend Felix to her will". Clearly that had failed, but it was still in the air and was affecting her.
She clamped her teeth down on her knuckles to silence herself.
Felix's voice came through still, laced with some sort of effect that was meant to embed itself into her Spirit, and she just couldn't focus on resisting at this point.
When he told Luminous to beg, Hinata's chest tightened with shame because her body almost responded as if the command had been for her. She could feel the head between her legs almost intensify at each of his words, her Spirit itself trembling as though craving to yield to him, to be disciplined by him.
Hinata's eyes widened as Felix's growl rolled through the room as he commanded Luminous to please him in ways Hinata never would have imagined her friend doing, the authority in his tone making her entire body seize with a shameful heat.
Her fingers trembled against her damp panties, every word into Luminous' ear reaching her as well. She clamped her other hand harder over her mouth, but even muffled, the needy gasp that escaped her lips was humiliating.
She was thankful that the two seemed so distracted in one another.
Her breath hitched as she pressed her forehead to the doorframe, trying to steady herself, but the sight before her and the aura wrapping around her body only made it worse.
She hated this. Not just because she was watching, not just because she was on her knees with her juices dripping through her panties, and certainly not because of how degrading this was.
She hated it because everything she was seeing, the sound of Felix's voice was bringing up something ugly from her past. The fact that she killed her father for being a weak man, for giving into his impulses and ruining his family for his own enjoyment.
Her father's voice had never been commanding like this. His had been the whine of a man too weak to take responsibility, begging for more time, begging the collectors not to break his legs after digging a hole completely on his own, begging Hinata's mother for forgiveness after another night lost to horse races. Simply refusing to take responsibility for his actions. She did not regret killing him, despite knowing it was morally wrong, only regretting the effect it had on her mother.
Every day he gambled more of their lives away until Hinata, even as a child, understood that his weakness would doom them all.
So why, here and now, when Felix released his order into Luminous' ear, did Hinata's body arch and convulse as if she were the one being spoken to? Why did she feel her cunt clench, and her thighs grind together desperately?
Her trembling fingers slid against the soaked fabric of her panties, rubbing in frantic little circles. She hated how her panties clung to her soaked folds, hated that she couldn't look away from the sight of a proud Demon Lord, her friend, moaning like a whore beneath Felix's relentless thrusts.
She had killed her father because he was weak. Because he disgusted her. Because his addiction was ruining them all. But she was coming to a realization… that hole he left behind never closed, she was realizing that now, despite not regretting her actions, and moving past it to evolve into a True Hero, the impact was still there in her ego.
It was more present when she first arrived in this world as a young teenager and spiritualized after some time, becoming a permanent fixture within her due to the nature of being a Spiritual Lifeform. The trauma had been deeply imbedded into her Spirit, so that even if she mentally moved past it, there was still some lingering effect within her, and it seems it was manifesting itself in this kind of way.
She would never long for her father of course, but that didn't mean something within her wanted what he was supposed to be, but of course in a more debaucherous way. She blamed Luminous for her lewd desires.
Her back arched against the door as another ragged moan tore itself from her throat, muffled behind her arm as she rocked her hips into her own hand.
Watching Felix now, she realized with horror that her body and Spirit wanted someone utterly unlike her father, someone responsible, someone capable of protecting her, and someone who would care for her and nurture despite being equals. Essentially someone like Felix.
Her goal of being someone he could rely on would never change, that was certain, but she was beginning to realize that those desires were not mutually exclusive. She would continue to rely on him as she really almost had, and he would rely on her as his equal one day.
Ah, there was something wrong with her, wasn't there? To have such conflicting desires, to want to protect him, and yet be protected in turn. To be cherished and cared for, and yet do the same.
"Ooh? What do we have here?" A teasing voice hummed out from behind her. She practically froze, and if she still had a physical heart, she was sure that it would have similarly stopped.
She was so focused on what was going on in front of her, and at the realizations she was coming to in the midst of her self-pleasuring, that she forgot all about her surroundings.
The voice obviously wasn't going to be Felix's or Luminous'. Milim and Sirka were not back yet, and Megumin was gone when she returned, leaving a single option, and of course the one time she forgot to place a barrier she would be punished for it.
Of course the tone of the person behind her was recognizable to Hinata. It was a tone that was dripping honey, and belonged to someone who delighted in peeling away pride and composure. It was the tone that Hinata had come to associate with the Daemons of Purple.
She tore her hand away from her crotch, a sticky strand of arousal stretching, clinging obscenely between her soaked panties and trembling fingertips before snapping.
Whirling on her knees, she stared upward with her eyes wide, and her breath caught in her throat. She was of course face to face with Lalatina, one of the worst possibilities.
Hinata knew Lalatina decently well. She met her in the past, centuries before she would ever begin to serve Felix, and even back then Lalatina was a teasing brat. Now that had only amplified under Felix's care, he had somehow made her worse. Lalatina was obsessed enough that the very form of her Spirit had been altered, resulting in the physical appearance of the Lalatina in front of her, a far more… curvy Lalatina.
Now she was a masochist that delighted in serving Felix and would do whatever it took to bring pleasure and happiness to Felix. Ordinarily that wasn't bad per se, their relationship was their own, but in this case Hinata couldn't predict what Lalatina would do now. She was unpredictable enough that even Fortuna's Calculation Domain couldn't give her a concrete answer.
Lalatina leaned down until her sharp grin hovered just a breath away from Hinata's flushed face.
"Well, well, well…" The Daemon purred as a cheshire grin formed on her face. "The Heroine of Ruberious, the flawless True Hero… trembling on her knees, soaked through her panties, spying like a dirty little girl. How delicious."
Her lips twitched as her pride demanded that she strike back, summon her blade, or at the very least argue enough to cut through the humiliation, but even now it was rather hard to focus with the backdrop of Luminous' moans coming from behind her.
Lalatina looked up slightly to gaze through the crack of the door. "As expected of my Master." Lalatina said as she licked her lips, her thighs beginning to grind together ever so slightly.
"Mmmh, look at her squirm." Lalatina whispered, her tongue flicking against her lips as another guttural moan from Luminous echoed down the hall. "Even our proud little Vampire can't withstand Master when he gets serious. I bet she's begging him to ruin her again right now."
Lalatina's words made her chest ache and her thighs quiver. She bit down hard enough on her lip, trying to drown all the sensations out.
But then Lalatina's gaze snapped back to her. "And you…" Lalatina purred, dragging a finger up Hinata's trembling arm until it lingered beneath her chin. She tilted Hinata's face up just enough that their noses nearly brushed. "It seems you didn't want to tear your eyes away, I was watching you know?"
"Hmm, look at this, True Hero Hinata, champion of discipline, panting like a bitch in heat on the floor. I wonder…" Her smile widened. "When will Master or Luminous catch on? They are lost in each other now, but eventually they will detect it. That being probably has detected you."
Hinata froze again as she realized who Lalatina was referring to. Othinus, Felix's Manas. If Felix's Manas was aware of her already, then there was no chance her shameful voyeurism could remain hidden forever.
Lalatina's grin widened even more somehow. "Oh? So you know her too? That makes it even better then. You know… I should call Master now, tell him what his precious Heroine has been doing."
Before Hinata could rebuke Lalatina, she continued. "But, I think this is better. Letting you stew in your own desires before eventually breaking down like I did with Megumin is better. It will be more enjoyable for Master that way as well."
"W-What do you want?" Hinata asked with narrowed eyes.
"Oh~? I thought it was obvious hmm? It isn't about what I want, but what you want." Lalatina took a step back. "You crave him. Just like I do. Just like Luminous does."
Hinata's Spirit quivered, a shudder wracking her body at the Daemon's words.
Lalatina leaned close enough that her lips brushed Hinata's ear, her voice dropping to a husky whisper. "I won't call him yet. I'll let you stew. I'll let you tremble and squirm and realize just how far you've fallen. And when Master finally turns those eyes on you…" Her grin widened. "... He won't see the Heroine he helped to train up, but the filthy little voyeur who can't stop touching herself to his voice."
Hinata's eyes squeezed shut as humiliation surged hot through her, but the dampness between her thighs only worsened, her body betraying her pride.
"Now run off before you get caught."
Oh she despised Lalatina.

Author's Note:
Greetings everyone, back with another chapter.
Some Luminous smut as it's been a while, then some Hinata development even if indirectly. She has daddy issues, who would have thought? In the anime it seems her father was physically abusive and that makes things a bit more complicated for me to write, so I'm just going off the LN, and I don't recall that being a fact in that, but other than that I believe it all makes sense as to how her daddy issues developed. Let me know your opinions on that if you want.
Then there is Lalatina being an enabler and working her hardest for Felix as per usual. Her added addition is only going to speed Hinata's fall up, without that push Hinata would take a lot longer to work up the courage for that final step.
Anyways, this chapter was mostly meant to be a lewd one with also some Hinata developments. Thanks for reading, peace!
Thanks to @Salante and @Flowerman for beta'ing this chapter.
