“Tattoo!” Paimon quickly floated over and checked him over, distress clearly evident in her expression. “Paimon doesn’t like this! Remove this bracelet from him!” she turned to Lisa and spoke hurriedly, waving her small hands around.

“Party Leader, are you alright!?” Lumine also came up to him. She could see that Yomite’s condition wasn’t normal at all.

Despite running to his aid and trying to help him up, she didn’t feel the gravitational field, nor could she do anything to help him, it was as if he was riveted in place.

As far as the girls were concerned, “their man” was completely defenseless and there was nothing preventing them from taking advantage of that right now.

“Ah…Yum-Yum…he’s…restrained…and at our mercy…” Barbara was practically drooling with desire as she looked at Yomite on the ground and tried to resist the overwhelming urge to use this chance to ravish him until his legs gave way from pleasure.

She couldn’t help but think about it all the more as she continued to try desperately to pull herself together, even though her instincts were urging her to act on her urges. The desire inside of her was overpowering. “…If Yum-Yum gets injured…I will personally heal him…hehe…I will make sure to keep you…safe.”

Knowing how awful her healing ability was, the recovery might take…around nine months.

And as a matter of fact, it was not only her that wanted to ravish him. Hu Tao was also inching closer to him, grinning wickedly like a Cheshire cat.

“Awww~ Assistant can’t get up? That’s so saaaad~ Is there some sort of defect down there~?” Hu Tao teased, giggling evilly.

After last night’s lovemaking incident, Hu Tao was more than pleased to take her sweet revenge upon the man who almost made her soul leave her body involuntarily. She almost passed away with regrets and turned into an evil spirit!

And since this time Yomite was just lying there, she had a good opportunity to enjoy watching him writhe helplessly, unable to move, while she would tickle him mercilessly with her fingers once a chance presented itself.

She wasn’t going to miss such a free chance, no sirreee!

Hu Tao leaned over the prone Yomite with an evil glint in her eyes.

With one finger, she started to drag down his neck, starting from the back of his neck and moving downwards.

“…Tao! Now’s…not the time…!” Yomite yelled urgently at her but he was obviously out of breath from the pressure emitting off the bracelet.

“Eheheh~ Poke! Poke! You get what you deserve!”

“Hu…Tao!” She was starting to get on his nerves again. The next time they did it, he would pull out his new secret weapon and appropriately get back at her.

Amy’s heart broke into pieces when she saw him like that, so helplesly restrained…he couldn’t even lift his head up, let alone try to defend himself.

She was about to run up to him and check whether he was alright, but then a strange feeling washed over her, and “she” told her not to interfere at all….

The mysterious voice inside of her head caused her to hesitate for a moment before she obeyed.

[Most splendid indeed! Now listen well…!]

The origin of the voice was quite special. She argued with it plenty of times in the past, and it was a part of her own self.

However, ever since it manifested itself inside of her when she received her vision, she always felt uneasy when she heard it, especially if she heard Yomite’s name being mentioned.

[DID], more frequently referred to as “dissociative identity disorder” was a mental condition where two or even several distinct personalities shared a single body. It had been known to affect women more than men by far, though there were many cases among men as well. A lot of research had gone into trying to understand DID and how it functioned; however, the researchers of Sumeru couldn’t find enough subjects who approved of the study and had ceased their attempts due to the difficulty of observing this phenomenon.

[Nothing would delight this Prinzessin more, than to have her beloved submit to her every desire! Be at peace, dear subject! Thy true self shall be restored!]

‘What are you saying…? I’m worried about him. I should have gone and checked his condition. I never saw him like this before…my poor hubby…’

[Fret not, something as trivial as that is no issue to someone as grand as him! Let’s see…Hmph! The Prinzessin Der Verurteilung needed but a single glance at that strange machination of mankind to discern its working principles. Thus, with speed and brilliance paralleled by the eternal lightning alone do I now understand what has occurred. Mein consort ist schwach und unwiderstehlich at this very moment, the stars had aligned for thee…Mwahahaha! How very cute he is indeed! If only he would hurry up and fall prey to the power of this Prinzessin’s desires and ignore the weakling occupying this body with her feeble emotions…but alas, such an amusing little episode shall simply play out with time. Only a few more moments until she too falls victim to meine power. Once this Prinzessin heeds the call of fate and fully descends to this realm from Immernachtreich, I shall claim the owner of this body as well, and use her as meine concubine, then gift her to meine beloved to ravish.]

‘You realize I can hear you, right…? What are you even talking about…? We’re both the same person…’ Amy asked her inner self in frustration. Whenever the two of them talked, they could never agree on something.

[Silence! Thee incompetent dolt! It has been foretold by those wiser than thou, that if thou hast heard me thus far, it must be so! If this Prinzessin was the one in the control of this wretched body instead of thee, I would have already sown his seeds by now. Why don’t thou just admit it and embrace thy true destiny as a mistress and a mother-to-be? If it were this Prinzessin, I would have long have had him mine and bear sixty of his children as proof of meine fealty to him! Ohhh, how sweet and fulfilling that prospect is! To rule over an empire with all these glorious descendants of his bloodline! Alas…such is not yet to be~! I fear this man may never take notice of meine existence due to thy incompetence!!! Depart and capture his heart once more and make him thy forevermore—or perish here, doomed to linger between two worlds until thy beloved comes for thee! Mwahaha!]

‘Why do you have to be so mean to me? I’m trying to do the best job I can, but…It’s hard for me…I’m unlike Hu Tao. She’s so confident… You’re always telling me I should be like her…but…I can’t quite gather the courage…also, sixty children? You’re kidding…I’ll die.’

Amy said inside of her heart, shaking her head.

[Die? Thee would die? Do not fool thyself! This body cannot be slain! In my world, I am the ruler of the eternal darkness!’ the voice answered gleefully.
