T/L Note: Warning. This chapter contains sexual violence.

In hindsight, maybe I should’ve put similar warning on Chapter Two.

=============================================================

It was a nightmare in broad daylight.

Janice stared at me, both joy and madness reflected in her eyes. I tried to slide backwards, but there was no escape in the narrow boat.

“Why are you here…!” I asked in strained voice, and Janice’s smile grew even wider.

“Isn’t it obvious? I’ve come to see you! Hey hey, do you wanna know how I got these burn scars?”

I think I have a pretty good idea how. After all, Cecily left the island in order to take revenge on her and her crew.

“Let me guess, Cecily did it?”

“That’s right. After all, there’s no one else who can use gravity magic. No one who can use it and hold enough grudge to use it on me, anyway. That wench must’ve used the orb that we found during one of our naval raids. But she screwed up, see, ‘cause I’m still alive.”

Janice licked the edge of her lips, as if her throat had gone dry, and continued.

“It’s my turn to get revenge now. But no, I’m not going to kill her just like that, I’m going to do that by picking off the people around her one-by-one, until she falls into the deepest pit of misery. And guess who’s on top of the list.”

“Why me?”

“I’ve done digging around, see. A number of people said that she calls your name whenever she gets drunk.”

“You’re mad!”

Janice shuddered with delight.

“That’s it, I really like your face! It’s really exciting how you can keep a defiant expression! Don’t worry, we’ll have plenty of fun before I kill you. You’ll pleasure me many times, over and over, until I’m satisfied. After I’ve had my fun, I’m going to cut off your dick and send it to Cecily. With a note saying thank you!”

What a madwoman…

“Cima, get her!!”

At my command, the two Cimas leaped up from the sea and attacked her from both sides with harpoons.

But Janice easily dodges the attack, and with a flash of the sword at her waist, she cut off the head of Cima No. 1, and with a return swing she split the body of Cima No. 2.

“Whoa… That was quite threatening… Was that all, by the way?”

I had left Wonder on the shore, so I don’t have anyone else to attack her. It seems I can only escape for now…

“Hey now, were you thinking of escaping?” Janice grabbed my wrist and punched me hard in the stomach.  “I guess it’s better to give you a little taste of pain, it’ll make you understand your position!”

Two more punches to the stomach nearly brought me to my knees, but Janice was having none of it and threw me off my boat and onto her small sailing ship.

“Yeah, it’s too cramped back there to have some fun.” Janice jumped onto her vessel and looked down at me, lying on the deck.

I still had Poppo, so I’ll have him fly to the shore and call the rest of the Cimas here. Afterward, I’ll jump to the sea when I have the chance and have Cima take me back to the island, that’s the best plan for now.

“Hmmm…? You still have that resolute expression on your face… ΔçΠ“

After a short chant, a fireball shot out of Janice’s hand and Poppo, who was on the edge of the boat, burst into flames before sinking into the ocean as little more than charred charcoal.

“It seems I need to take extra measures to keep you from running away… Well then, how to do it now? I could just beat the shit out of you until you cry and beg for forgiveness, but we can always do that later can’t we?”

As she said this, Janice tied my wrists to the mast with a leather strap she pulled out of her pocket.

“You still haven’t given up on resisting, right? Though I like turning a man submissive and doing whatever I want with them, the idea of forcibly raping a man who is still resisting is turning me on even more.”

Every single word that comes out of her is disgusting. She then held my chin and licked my face; the feeling of it made me shudder, like a slug was crawling on my skin.

“Now then…” Janice roughly ripped off my shirt.

The last of the things that I brought with me from Earth are being destroyed. My chinos were also removed, as well as the last remaining pair of boxer shorts. But she made sure my boxers were still hooked around my ankles, pooled at my feet.

What gives, woman?

“You have really beautiful skin. It’d be a shame to kill you. Maybe I should just take you as a slave.” While uttering such nonsense like that, Janice took off her clothes. “How is it? I have a good body, right?”

“Cecily’s better than you.” It was the only act of defiance I had left.

“Hum, is that so? Well I’m going to make you squeal in delight soon, and after that I can take my time in disciplining you, until you beg for my pussy yourself.”

Janice grabbed me by the head and sent her magic into me, and my Little Joe quickly becoming ramrod straight, regardless of what I wanted. I think this kind of magic is really unreasonable, no matter the situation.

“Well then, let’s have a taste of it.” Janice slowly lowered her hips, to emphasize what she’s going to do. And then proceeded to fuck me…

“How does it feel? Feels good, right?”

“I feel nothing…”

Which is actually true. I’m just emotionlessly watching how the scene unfolds before me, like a really bad porn movie. 

If I had been a man in this world, or a woman in my former world, I might have despaired or been repulsed by the fact I’m being raped, but I feel nothing. Which made me surprised at myself. Had something inside me broken instead, is that why I felt nothing?

But I don’t have any fear of pregnancy, even if I’m being raped. Do these physical structural differences change the way how men and women think? If so, mutual understanding between men and women that transcended gender differences would be difficult.　

However, I agree that the humiliation of being forced to do what the other person wants by using violence is a pain shared by both men and women. After all, sexual activity should be based on consent between the two parties, and there should be agreement on what is and what is not okay, and consideration for the other person, not just blindly pursuing your own desires.

That was the inner monologue that I was having while watching Janice’s hips slamming hard against mine. [1]

“What’s that? Losing your will to resist already? That’s no good… mmhh… if you don’t keep showing those defiant expression… haahh… I might lose the excitement…”

Janice kept slamming her hips down and talking “dirty” to me.

“Or did you forget already? After all of this is over, I’m going to cut your dick off, y’know.” Janice drew the knife from her waist and lick it as if to show it off.

That’s right, I have no time to think about useless things now. I need to find an opportunity to escape.

“Yes, yes! That’s the expression that I wanted! You seem to remember your place, huh… Mmhh… That’s it, keep struggling. Who knows, I might just spare your life and keep you as slave instead. Now, move your hips and try to make me feel better!”

Janice was smiling with satisfaction as she tapped my cheek with her knife.

Now, what can I do to escape? My wrists are tied to the mast above my head, even if I managed to untie it, I still lack the strength to avoid being overwhelmed by her, nor the speed to outrun her.

But at that moment, my eyes were focused on the small scratch on the knife glittering in front of me. The scratch was so small and superficial; it wouldn’t have any effect to the performance of the knife should it be used on me, but it gives me an idea of what I can do.

＃＃＃＃

Repair target: Knife

MP consumption: 12

Repair time: 4 seconds

＃＃＃＃

As long as it is in my sight, I can use [Repair] on any damaged object. And so, when I set the knife on Janice’s hand as the target for [Repair], it turned into motes of light and disappeared.

“Eh? W-what just happened?”. The sudden disappearance of the knife she was holding caught her off guard, and her hip thrusting stopped suddenly.

Chime ♪

The repair of Knife is completed. Please specify the location to appear.

At first, I intended to make it appear at her heart, but I changed my mind and looked away at her inner thigh instead, and all that exposed, tender skin. And then I choose that spot as the place for the knife to appear.

“GYAAHH!!”

With a sharp scream, Janice, who was still on top me, tumbled backwards. The newly repaired knife was deeply embedded in her thigh, and a large amount of blood was pouring out. I then set my repair magic at the leather strap that bound my wrist to erase it. I fixed her with the coldest, most hateful glare I could.

“You pig, what did you do?!” Janice, eyes full of hatred, drew her sword and bared it towards me. The knife was still stuck in her bare thigh, but the bleeding wasn’t as strong as before. It looks like she’s using the body reinforcement magic to stop the blood.

“……” Without giving her any reply, I then set the repair magic at her sword.

＃＃＃＃

Repair target: Short sword

MP consumption: 18

Repair time: 8 seconds

＃＃＃＃

“Damn it!!”

Furious that her sword had disappeared into motes of light, she finally opted to lunge at me.

What happened next, it was like everything was moving in slow motion.

Janice, twisted into madness, was closing in on me. I didn’t have enough time to complete the repair on the sword and make to it appear again to defend myself. It took seconds for her to wrap her fingers around my throat, and the two of us collapsed to the deck of the boat.

Seems like she’s decided to just strangle me to death.

As I was struggling, my lungs screaming for air, I berated myself for not burying the knife in her heart when I had the chance… But then again, I’ve never intentionally harmed anyone before, so I was nowhere near prepared to end another person’s life.

It’s a rather short live that I’ve lived, huh?

And it was the moment, as the darkness started to creep in around my eyes…

BOOOM!!

A large fireball flew through the air, hitting Janice’s side and knocking her over the side of the ship.

What… what just happen?

Coughing, I got up in a panic and looked in the direction of the attack.

There, in the middle of the mid-summer sky, a pale girl was floating in the balmy air, and her face showed not a bead of sweat despite the heavy black coat she was wearing.

=============================================================

1 Shirou: got raped

Also Shirou: pondering about philosophical matters. ((MoWNPC: Oh man, don’t get me started, the whole men being raped vs women being raped thing is something I have a lot of strong opinions about.

But seriously, consent is key. Don’t ever force anyone into that situation, it’s horrible.))
