CH 16

“W-Wait a little, Luca. C-Ca-Calm down.”

“I am calm.”

“Uwa, wah...! ”

The tentacles rapidly coiled around my arms, legs and waist. Panicking at the unexpected turn of events, I thrashed in fruitless attempts to get myself free. But it was for naught and, unable to resist, my body was wrapped tight and lifted up by the tentacles.

The thick ropes of light carried me swiftly from Luca's side to the sea. If the tentacles loosened even a little, I would fall into the sea. However, each and every one of them was precisely condensed out of mana, and they didn't seem like they would wear out and disappear  anytime soon. If anything, the strength gave me a sense of stability. ...Amazing.

Looking at Luca, all of his tentacles seemed to come out from underneath his rolled-up left sleeve. I wondered briefly if it was because he carries his sword in his right arm.  It seemed he couldn’t get them to appear from anywhere on his body like I could, but still.

“Aren't you improving way too fast?” I marvelled, struggling to keep the look of impressed astonishment off my face despite the embarrassing circumstances I found myself in.  “It's only been a month since that time we talked.”

Luca chuckled low, smirking up at me from his relaxed position at my feet. “I've been practicing continuously since the day you taught me.” For a moment, he looked like a kid finally getting a chance to show off in front of their crush, trying to play it cool but with a clear undercurrent of desperation for approval. “I've been using them all the time, except for when I'm fighting in the dungeon.”

As Luca spoke, he stared down at a pool of smaller tentacles moving benignly across his right hand. Though I was literally surrounded by the brilliance of his rays, I found myself following his gaze down to the small pool of light in his palm. When he spoke again, it was softly and with an undeniable tenderness. ”Be it while I'm riding in the carriage or waiting for you at the guild, from the time I wake up in the morning until the moment I go to bed at night, I have been giving my all.”

At that, the blond’s eyes suddenly snapped back to me before he finished the thought. “...fantasizing about all the things I can do to Zagan with my tentacles.

“Wha-...”

When his gaze met mine, I felt my cheeks heat up instantly. Wa-Wait a minute, I thought. Right now, both my hands were restrained and my legs were spread apart. If this was an eroge, I was for all intents and purposes, in a position to have all manner of terrifying things done to me. I held out hope that maybe I was wrong.

“So-” I began, trying desperately to regain my thoughts. “In this situation, you're going to drop me in the ocean if I don't tell you what is wrong? ”

Luca laughed deep and low, and a dark look passed over his face. “No way,” he mewled. “I'm going to tease Zagan's naughty parts and make you cry uncontrollably. If you try to escape, you'll end up in the ocean, so you'll just have to be good, okay? ”

Fuck you, you eroge protagonist bastard...!

I glared at him despite myself, but he simply smiled back. The tentacles that were wrapped around my waist slipped underneath my clothes. The sensation of Luca's warm mana brushing against my bare skin made my whole body tremble. Pushing up my clothes little by little, the tentacles crawled across my chest and stomach, sending ripples of an unfamiliar pleasure down my spine. Even though I writhed under the ticklish sensation, as I expected, I did not fall.

A thin tentacle reached out to my nipple and squeezed around it, beginning to tease the bud with its tip. For him to be able to release tentacles of different thicknesses, controlling them independently and maneuvering them so delicately, his control of his mana was perfect. However, I absolutely did not feel like praising him, knowing that he had practiced just to torment me.

Also, I wished he'd stop making his tentacles shine. In the dark of the secluded villa shore, the only other lights around were the faintly visible Tanabata lanterns in the distant city proper and the stars in the night sky. Against the contrasting darkness of the vast sea and the paleness of my skin, Luca’s tentacles stood out even more. It was embarrassing.

“Ah, ahn...no...Luca, sto-” I attempted to protest, knowing there was no use.

“I won't stop, Luca confirmed with a smile as bright as his glowing mana. “Ah, it's fine if you want to tell me right away what happened that made you so distressed earlier,” he teased. It was not the first time he looked like a lion toying with his next meal, but it was a new feeling to be the little mouse trapped firmly in his claws.

“But, you see...” he clarified, “I will be teasing you  until I am satisfied either way.”

Isn't that way too harsh?　While I wasn't going to say it originally, I was hoping for a little compromise.

Even as Luca was teasing my nipples, he produced small lights from his right hand. Countless pale lights floated up around me. Thanks to them, I could see Luca's face a little more clearly than before. This made it a little less dark, which helped the tentacles not stand out as much. But then, the small comfort came with a trade-off: you could now see my whole body as well.

“Pfft. Prisoner Zagan,” the prince drawled, desire clear in his voice. “You're so naughty. But it’s not enough. Let's get a little more naughty.”

“Sto-, don't look...ah, wait, not there...n-no!”

As I protested, I felt the tentacles pull me closer, yet they recoiled from the region at the front of my crotch, where Luca’s hands began unbuttoning my pants. The tentacles tangled and retreated, somehow removing all of my underwear while making sure that I didn’t fall. Of course, I resisted, but I couldn't help but feel the thin tentacles wrapping around my penis. Uuuh, how unfair.

“Even with just your lower half butt-naked, you look so cute.” Luca looked up at me and I became aware that he had switched positions so that he was kneeling in front of me, his head at waist level.

“Fua, ah...Luca, no...”

He lifted up both my legs into a position that made my hole clearly visible. To force me into this embarrassing position when we were outside, and that too on a night when the stars shone this bright. It was humiliating and I wanted to run away from the shame, but my hole was twitching. When I averted my gaze, unable to endure, he chuckled.

“Zagan, you're cute.” I always felt affronted when he said that. Kneeling there in front of me, Luca looked like an angel fallen to the earth—blond hair forming a soft halo around his flushed, tan cheeks. He was the cute one. Though his words certainly didn’t match the holy appearance. “Don't worry,” he cooed. “I'll properly loosen your slutty pussy before I  let my tentacles deep inside.”

He pulled me even closer to him than before and brought my anus to his face. He buried his nose in it. All the wild displays of affection Luca had subjected me to publicly and yet I had never felt more embarrassed than at that moment.  My whole body writhed in his grasp.

“Haa. I can't get enough of Zagan's scent.” He said, inhaling deeply. “...I'll lick you lots today as well.”

“...Ah, ahn...ngh, ahh!”

I lost the capacity for intelligent speech as his tongue trailed across my body. He licked me over and over and once my hole was drenched in saliva, he inserted it inside me. I couldn't help but rock my hips at his rhythmic motions. It felt good to get a rimjob.  As hard as it was to admit it, the sensation honestly felt so amazing that I was tingling with pleasure.

As I closed my eyes tight and focused on the feeling, the tip of his tongue thrust deeper inside. I was still wrapped in tentacles, still deeply embarrassed by the act. But Luca was lost in licking me...huh?

“Ah, Luca, ...Sto-Stop...ah, ahnn! ”

Before I knew to prepare myself, I felt a thin, slippery tentacle enter my urethra. The sensation of a foreign object in my penis and Luca's mana assaulted me with pleasure that threatened my sanity. My crotch was tingling. It penetrated deep within with one smooth motion, making my whole body twitch. Had it perhaps reached my bladder?

The tip of the tentacle gently pushed against my insides. It may have been only a slight stimulation, but an intense pleasure like an electric shock ran through me. My body shook uncontrollably.

“Hic...Ta-Take it out Luca...au-ahhhnn...! ”

“Ngh...No way. Didn't I tell you I'm going to bully you?”

Luca sat back on his heels staring down at my illuminated parts, hands firmly gripping and massaging my thighs. The sensation was too much to handle.

“No-Not that...ah, ah, ahh♡”

“Pfft. It's so warm inside Zagan's dick,” he breathed softly, almost to himself. “I don't know why, but when Zagan squeezes my tentacles, it feels crazy good.” He touched a finger lightly to the point where his light entered my body, and I began to twitch. “Ahh, it's trembling! How cute.”

I could feel the tentacles poking me inside. Occasionally, he pulled them out completely and then inserted them again, teasing my entire urethra.

At the same time, he played with my nipples and even licked my anus. With my top, front, and back all teased, the pleasure built up and I felt like ejaculating. However, with my only way of release blocked, the heat only built up.

Each time it pulled out of my narrow channel, scraping my insides, my body trembled. Of course, I had never known that the urethra could feel like this before. I've never thought of putting anything in there in the first place.

“Hi-Hic...Ah, no, let me cum,” I begged, desperation winning against pride. “...Ahh, Luca, plea... Ah, ahhhh! ”

Thrusting in and out, the tentacles intensely teased me, assaulting me with strong pleasure. A comforting sense of pleasure bubbled forth, and I ended up orgasming. However, since the tentacles blocked my path of release, I couldn't ejaculate and my cock still felt heavy. Since the tentacles didn't stop their movements, I dry-orgasmed continuously.

It was torturous, and a sob escaped me. Tears were flowing down my face and I couldn't stop them.

I wanna cum.

But I couldn't. I felt overwhelmed, like I would go crazy if this continued.

“Hic, uuh, uwaaaah.... No, no more.... Lucaa”

“Ngh. Okay, I'll listen to you, can you tell me what happened now? ”

“Uh...sniffle. ...I can't...say it...” Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t say it. He could never understand.

“Yeah, I thought so.” Luca’s expression darkened. “You're stubborn, Zagan. You try to do everything all by yourself.”

Seeing Luca scrunch up his eyebrows in lament, my heart hurt.

But it couldn't be helped. How could I tell him that I might possibly die?　And even the fact that my opponents would be dragons, was a matter within the game till the very end. While I wasn't optimistic that it was nothing, looking at my experience so far, there was no need to bother to tell Luca all this vague information that would only make him worry.

There was no need to tell him that I could die. ...Because I definitely won't die.

“Well, tell me or not, I'm still not satisfied so I'm going to bully you more.”

His voice snapped me back to the situation at hand.

Hey, you're letting all this effort come to naught!? I thought. More importantly, I'm already suffering, unable to cum, and you still want to do more to me!? Yet all I could manage to verbalize was...

“Ngh...Ah...?　Ah, No...no, ag, ahnnn...mhn♡”

Suddenly I became aware of something slowly entering my ass. Luca’s dick? No, it was shining brightly. I was filled by Luca's tentacles. When I looked at it properly, I found a considerably thick arm reaching up from below my butt.

“Pfft. Since the tentacles are glowing, I can clearly see you hungrily sucking me in.” Luca said, huskily. “Zagan's swollen rim is so lewd and cute.”

“Ah, hn... Don't say that. D-Don't look...at that...”

“Don't be shy, Zagan. Haven't I already seen it many times?”

That may have been true, but embarrassing things are embarrassing. It didn't matter how many times we had done it. Perhaps Luca's mana had stimulated my wall to produce juices, as every time the tentacle thrust in, it made lewd squelching sounds. Spreading my hole open bit by bit, the arm entered deeper than before. The pleasure spread from inside, and I tightened my hole involuntarily, and my body trembled from the onslaught of stimulation. I hadn't been able to cum for a long time and, as if trying to compensate, my face began spilling a river of tears down my cheeks.

“Hyaah, ah, ahn, ...Ngh, hah...ah, ahn... Lucaaa...♡”

“Pfft, my cute Zagan,” Luca groaned.”I'm going to go in deeper.”

“Hya...no, that's impossible!”

I writhed in a feeble attempt to escape, but no matter what I did, the tentacles wouldn't come out. If anything, they teased my insides further, as if controlling my movements, making me pant. It felt good, but it was torturous.

“Ngh, ...Ah, no...no!”

“Hm. You're taking it all in. Seems that you like it. It's warm and soft, and it's squeezing me tight that it's comfortable for me, too. Oh, I think I just entered your colon. My penis could only go this far.” Luca placed his hand just above my pelvis, the familiar warmth of his hands in no way diminished by that radiating off of his light. “Since we've gone this far, should I go in deeper? It's fine, it won't hurt.”

He smiled beautifully and stroked my abdomen. The gentleness in his voice almost moved me, but I was too far gone. I hadn't cum for so long that I had become strange, like some wild beast I could not name. And besides going deeper than this was no good. At the very least I wanted him to take out the tentacles and put in his penis.

“No, no more...please. It won't go in, so...ah, uwaah! ”

He went in deeper. He steadily buried himself inside, assaulting me with waves of intense pleasure. It sent shivers down my spine. My waist was throbbing from deep inside, and a feeling of oppression surged forth from my stomach where I was being patted. Just how deep did he intend to go?

“Hau, ...Hic, Hyau...ah, N...No-Nooo!”

My whole body shook at the sensation of my intestines being violated. If this went on, wouldn't my stomach rip apart? Although I knew Luca wouldn't do something like that, each time the tentacles moved even a little, I was overcome with dread. I wanted him to stop. This was too much.

“Hic...N...Nwo, hyau.... nyo...!”

“Fufu, Zagan's stomach feels warm. How is it?” he teased, lightly.　”You want me to take it out?”

“T-Take it out...Please!” I begged, frantic. He was clearly unaware of the severity of the overstimulation he was putting me through.

“What to do? Crying Zagan is awfully cute so I feel like bullying you more.”

“Don't! ...Ah. Ahh...uuuuh”

This was awful. This was too awful. I couldn't stand this kind of humiliation. And because I couldn't cum, I felt like my bladder was becoming distorted. It was too torturous. My throat choked up with sobs and tears pooled in my eyes.

I can't do this anymore, I need to let out the pleasure that's been building up.

“Please, forgive me... I'll tell you. I'll tell... everything.”

“Hmm..." he mused, eyes narrowed and lips pursed as he contemplated my words. “Then, fine. I'll just take this one out.”

At my pleading, he slowly withdrew the tentacle from my urethra until it slipped fully out with a squelch. With the mana blocking it no longer there, strength left my body. Phew...that felt good.

This comfort was short-lived, however, as the instant the tentacle came out, so too did my semen. Having lost all my vigour, I slumped as cum splashed over my penis, trailing past the rim of my anus and falling to my ass. I was exhausted, but the sensation of the buildup disappearing was unbelievably good. My waist felt like jelly. I was drunk on pleasure.

Plop, splat. Regaining a bit of my sanity, I watched the stream of liquid fall straight from my penis into the ocean. My bladder felt relieved.

I looked up and remembered my surroundings. I could see the starry sky through my blurry vision—Milky Way. ...Ugh, in the end, it was not just sex but tentacle play too. This was truly a terrible memory to leave behind.

“Zagan is extremely cute.” Luca laughed, a playfully surprised look on his face. “You let out a wee while making the most bewitched face. Fufu, you're just like a baby.”

“Fua...? ...Ah, ah? No...That, ah, ah, don't look Luca...no, noo!”

It was only after hearing it aloud that I realised I  was urinating and felt my whole body grow hot. It was embarrassing. So embarrassing!

I tried using life magic in a fluster to stop the stream, but since the tentacles were still inside me, I was continuously assaulted by pleasure and couldn't use it well. Furthermore, Luca seemed to have realised that I was trying to do something, and he moved the tentacles faster inside my hole. I arched my back at the feeling of my intestinal walls being stimulated.

This resulted in me almost falling on Luca and, when I hurriedly checked on him, he was staring at me with a gleaming expression on his face, making me feel even more ashamed. In any case, at least it wasn't all that vigorous, so I didn't let out that much.

When I finally finished urinating, I felt a terrible sense of shame, and I cried myself to exhaustion. Even though I didn't want to cry, I couldn't stop my tears. I was so embarrassed that I just wanted to disappear somewhere.

Further, he even licked my flaccid penis. He took it completely into his mouth, and I heard a gagging sound in his throat.  Even though it was filthy with pee and semen, he licked it. The shame from that was the final blow.

“Mhm, look, it's clean now.” Luca said, disconnecting from me with a slick pop. He licked his lips and smiled. “Haah, Zagan's weenie is really cute.”

“Unh,” I moaned and sniffled. “...P-Please, forgive me...I'll tell you everything. Aah...” Through it all, Luca had not budged his tentacles from their place firmly inside my ass.

“Hm? You don't have to say anything though. I can just continue to carry you like this, inserting my tentacles into Zagan's cute bussy and dick for the rest of your life.”

“......Huh. ...What...are you...saying.”

I couldn't process what he said and the confusion was clear on my face. I assumed he had to be joking, with something as crazy as that, but looking at him told another story. The look on Luca's face was incredibly serious, and his blue eyes were focused and sharp. As I stared back at him, my brain going in circles, he narrowed his eyes with a suspicious glint to them.

“You see, Zagan...” Luca stood so that his face was even to mine, and he placed a hand lightly on my cheek. After all that rough, filthy, embarassing sex, he still looked at me like something precious. Like a delicate work of art, labeled “handle with care.

“Even though you are quietly letting yourself be held by my tentacles now,” the prince continued. ”If you wanted to, you could escape any time. The reason you didn't is because you liked being teased by me. That makes me incredibly happy.” On his face was a mixture of emotions—joy, pride and a dash of sadistic humor all present and accounted for.

“That's why, I'm going to take advantage of you. I'm going to keep pleasuring you so much that you won't be able to think of anything but me. That way, I won't have to worry about where you are or what you're doing, will I? Ahh, it's alright. I'll never let you go, even if it breaks your heart.”

Ahh, I suddenly understood. One of those emotions resting just beneath the surface peeked out and showed that Luca was still really angry. Not just because I've been trying to keep everything to myself, but because of all the ways I’d resisted his help and his affections. I continued to meet him in a dead tired state,  avoided important questions he asked, and caused him to worry incessantly.

It was entirely my fault.

“I-I'll say it. I'll tell you everything from now on,” I promised. And I meant it. “...I'm sorry, Luca.”

I apologised honestly. Now, all I could do was hope he would forgive me and let me go.

If he didn't do that, I'd have no choice but to cut off all his tentacles. I didn't want to lose all my senses. At this point I had already decided. I want to be with Luca of my own volition.

I did worry that if I cut his tentacles, Luca would misunderstand and be sad, thinking that I was rejecting him. That's why I wanted him to just forgive me. I sniffled pathetically, tears not yet dry on my face, and stared at him. Luca's expression relaxed. It was a face of a loving defeat.

“You won't try to do everything by yourself?” he asked gently.　”You won't force yourself? ”

“I won't. If anything happens, I'll tell you everything.”

“...I understand. Then, I forgive you.” I felt the tightness in my chest unwind at his words and all the muscles in my body relaxed into the grip of his soft, enveloping light. I don’t know how I looked at that moment, worn out, hair plastered to my forehead with sweat, other fluids dripping down the curves of my most private places. However I looked must have been a sight, though. Because, for the first time that day, Luca finally had the decency to flush. The red tinge to his cheeks and the tips of his ears was endearing enough to almost make me forgive him for putting me in this state to begin with.

“I'm also sorry for hurting you,” Luca murmured, eyes scanning my soiled body before returning to meet my gaze. “I love you, Zagan.”

He sat me down on his lap and gently hugged me. I couldn’t help but let out a sigh of comfort at the warm embrace. He kissed my cheeks and the corners of my eyes, lapping up my tears. Occasionally, he would grace me with a kiss on the lips as well—feather-light and fleeting. The fact that he was so gentle with me made me sob even harder, so I pulled myself closer to Luca and cried my heart out.
