Inyouchuu Etsu Chapter 1 Part 3

[N-No…… Don’t… no……!!!]

An unpleasant atmosphere rose up at once and filled the entire room. The color of the air changed and then Yuu’s sense of balance was dulled. Yuu hadn’t experienced it yet, but any exorcist who has experienced actual combat knew this feeling of discomfort. It was a different space called a “flesh barrier” constructed by the youmas to ambush their prey.

By the time the girl realized it, it was already too late. The walls and pillars around the room were pulsing with uncanny fleshy streaks.

They crawled on the floor with neither veins nor tentacles, slowly surrounding Yuu. She instantly stood up, but then she leaned over, noticing that her hand was still being firmly held, and shook it off reluctantly. “Yamato’s” face, with his eyes still closed, and the girl’s face, who turned her eyes from there to her lower body, turned pale in an instant.

[Ah! N-No, don’t!]

The young beauty’s once pale complexion now was dyed deep vermillion with shock and embarrassment. Before she even knew it, the futon on which Yamato had been laying had been opened, revealing the lower half of his body, which was supposed to be covered in pajama pants but was now completely exposed instead.

His nicely-toned and muscular legs were clearly visible, there was no underwear in its rightful place so his crotch area was entirely exposed, and the sight of his “thing” growing from between Yamato’s legs caused Yuu’s eyes to open wide in surprise and disbelief.

(T-T-This is Y-Y-Yamato… -san’s…… a man’s…… t-t-thing……! B-But this is…… this is……!)

No matter how naive and innocent Yuu might have seem, she at least knew so much about male’s anatomy to know the contents of a male’s crotch area.

However, on top of having never looked directly at the male genitalia before in her entire life, Yuu was able to tell that Yamato’s genitals had undergone a horrifying transformation, and that was the cause for her shock and unrest just now.

[Huh!? What is this…… There are some tubes and tentacles crawling all over the walls and the floor? And they seem to originate from Yamato-san’s body!? H-Hyiiihhh!?]

SWOOSH……!!! SWOOOOOOSSSHHH……!!! WRIGGLE, WRIGGLE!!!! SLIDE, SLIDE……!!!

Yes, that’s right. The flesh-looking barrier that was now covering the room’s walls and floor was clearly originating from the lower half of Yamato’s body, extending further and further. Contrary to the rest of his upper body, which continues to sleep peacefully, the part below the navel of the boy has begun to transform into a heterogeneous lump of gray-colored flesh that looked different from that of any normal human being.

Along with the improbable increase of its body mass, Yamato’s lower limbs were swallowed by countless wriggling flesh tentacles, coming together and becoming countless fleshy ropes that were swinging and swaying in violent waves.

[W-What should I do, at this rate…… With my power alone, I won’t be able to do anything…… I won’t be able to save Yamato-san……!!]

At that exact moment a jolt of fear ran through Yuu’s youthful face. Even though she knew that Yamato was not a genuine Oni demon but rather a Human-Oni hybrid, the girl was also an Exorcist and she knew the stories of various Exorcists meeting with Demons. So if the genuine article was more than enough to easily defeat a group of seasoned veterans, there was no way that she would be able to do this on her own.

When working as an Exorcist, the danger of losing one’s life on the job was a given, a sort of part of the course. However, there were also times when the Exorcists would get captured by the youmas instead, and as a result face a fate that was considerably far worse and way more horrible than death.

No matter if you were a man or a woman, they would be turned into youmas plaything, becoming a seedbed for other youmas. They would continue to plant them with youmas eggs and turn them into living incubators for the sole purpose of breeding even more youmas. This would result in the Exorcists giving birth to terrifying youma-human children over and over again, until their life would end from both the exhaustion and the excessive sensory overload caused by the pleasure.

And even if they eventually managed to get rescued by other Exorcists, there was no way that they would ever be able to forget both the horrors and the pleasure of the ordeal that they had been put through. It was something that would be forever etched deep into their minds, until eventually they would lose their minds because of it.

(Yes, and even my dear Nii-sama is not the exception from that rule……)

In front of the small girl who was biting her lip in fear and frustration of the horrifying memories, the flesh tentacles finally approached her as if to block her retreat route, and began to secrete slimy mucus from their dented tips.

[N-No, noooooo, ahh……!!]

Just as Yuu was about to let out another harrowing scream from deep inside of her small throat, she could hear a voice calling out to her in a calm manner, wrapping itself around her entire body like the finest silk.

[You are way too scared for your own good, Young Lady,]

[H-Huh……!? Y-Yamato… -san……? No, that cannot be, you are not him…… Umm…… “Yamato”… -san……?]

There was a slender body of the young man that was rising from the swelling mass of wriggling and rippling tentacles. With his hands hanging loosely alongside his torso, he seemed to be pretty lifeless, like a puppet with its strings cut off. However, his eyelids would slowly open, and his sharp eyes would stare directly at the helpless Exorcist girl who was directly in front of him.

[This is the village of the Exorcists, and I am still sealed up inside of that boy, for better or worse. For now you are safe, Young Lady, I won’t do anything to you. So rest assured.]

(N-No way, is that…… Is that really “Yamato”? I-I know that it’s the Demon Factor that we are talking about here, but this is……)

Contrary to the bottomless power and hostility that Yuu felt at first, the tone of “Yamato’s” voice was calm and strangely friendly to a certain extent.

When it comes to youmas, Oni Demons are the strongest youmas out there, a sort of apex of their kind. That’s what Yuu was taught during her training to become an Exorcist.

However, the Demon Factor is a special kind of an existence that grew up with Yamato within his body, so to speak. It could also be said that it was another Yamato that was sealed deep inside of him. Another facet of his personality. The way in which he stared at her frightened Yuu and caused him to look somewhat amused.

But at the same time it was hard for Yuu to believe that this existence was in fact the Oni Demon that she was told to avoid at all cost.

[Hmm, I see. It seems that Mikoto, Takeru, as well as their Mother are not here at the current moment. The power of the seal is also working as intended, so I can’t perform any long range scan in search of their presence.]

After saying that, “Yamato” started to slowly stretch its body, as well as look around, as if he was trying to surveil his immediate surroundings. But aside from the fact that his exposed lower half of his tentacle-covered body was still making Yuu slightly anxious and nervous, “Yamato’s” calm voice gently stroked her chest and almost managed to succeed to calm her down.

[Ahh, umm…… This barrier, this is your doing, isn’t it? Why did you erect it in the first place? What are you planning to do here with it?]

The reason why Yuu was not afraid and was asking him that in a polite tone was partially because “Yamato” was in the form of Yamato at the current moment. And the other reason was that she was not nearly as afraid of him as she thought she would be.

[Youmas are the creatures of yang, as opposed to the creatures of yin. It is a simple truth that can never be changed or overturned, no matter what.]

That’s what her older brother and her senior Exorcists taught Yuu throughout the years of training, but for Yuu herself, who had no real experience with fighting and exorcizing youmas, the boy in front of her was just that: a mere human boy, not a creature that she needed to be afraid of.

[Well, you see, there is no need for us to be in any hurry here. I have been inside of this child for such a long time that I could not help it but to grow really frustrated with certain things, you know? Now that this child is asleep, I can move freely like this, but normally I can’t do anything on my own, except for savoring everything that this child is seeing and feeling the same things that he feels…… Young Lady, can you even imagine what that feels like?]
