chapter 18
018─Sacrificial Ritual
In the assigned solitary cell, Farnese spread the parchment on the floor, lifted the skirt of her priestly robe and reflected her belly in the mirror.
Then, he observes the pattern engraved on his lower abdomen and accurately transfers it to the parchment spread on the floor.
Immediately after, Farnese lights the candles and puts down the dead bird by twisting its neck.
‘It’s not very reliable, but…… ‘
In the library material I read, it was written that a contact with a transcendent being could be made through the boundary between this world and the other world, which is temporarily connected the moment a life dies.
Of course, Farnese did not believe that this would be the right way.
Still, there is a transcendental being that has already expressed its intention, so if you show the utmost courtesy, wouldn’t it be commendable and communicate with you?
Then, carefully piercing the tips of his knuckles and dripping a drop of his own blood, which could be said to be the blood of a virgin, Farnese knelt down and prayed fervently.
“My being who watches over me from beyond my reach, your faithful pet doll dares to ask a question.”
* * * * *
I returned home after barely subsiding the heat and opened my laptop while eating the hamburger I had bought.
Plaudite came out to greet me when I restarted the PC Clara that was disconnected.
No, while trying to greet me, he quietly disappears off the screen.
‘Is this because you’re shy?’
I thought so, but what was reflected on the screen beyond that was Farnese preparing for a very strange ceremony.
“?”
Suddenly wanting to do that, I took a bite of a hamburger and looked at the log.
“Ah.”
Then, in the form of a novel, it comes out in detail what Farnese did.
Among them, I understood the motive behind that bizarre ritual by looking at the description of what happened in the library.
‘Hey, from Farnese’s point of view, you might be curious. Why was he chosen?’
But no matter how much it is, isn’t it too distorted to think that it is to borrow a boat and be born in the human world?
I was so choked up and drinking Coke, I opened the touch input window just in case.
And then pregnancy──enter the Pregnant’s command.
【 This command cannot be saved. ]
“…… Okay. It can’t be.”
He laughed.
「My being who watches over me from an unreachable place, your faithful pet doll dares to ask a question. 」
I sat comfortably and kept looking at the screen, but when I heard Farnese’s prayer, I felt really strange.
‘When I read novels that borrowed Cthulhu as the subject matter, I thought it was very strange to respond to human calls one by one…… ‘
Since I was watching it myself, I had an impression of how I could survive without responding.
「I’m considering it from my lowly point of view…… Are you trying to manifest in the human world by borrowing my womb? 」
Yes.
Word selection too.
But when I listened to it, I was secretly embarrassed, so I secretly chewed on the straw I was drinking cola with.
‘Since I’ve also gotten a fragment of the future, it’s about time for another revelation.’
Associating roughly good words in my head, I clicked Revelation in the menu window and continued writing.
* * * * *
I wonder if it was a ceremony without much meaning.
No answer is heard, only the wind blowing through the window stirs the flame of the candle.
But at that moment Farnese could hear.
The response of the transcendent existence dwelling within oneself, resounding with a strange voice.
「Don’t mistake light entertainment as a base preparation for entertainment. 」
The tone of a voice that cannot read emotions and does not have a high or low height further highlights the mystery and wonder of a transcendent existence.
At the same time, ironically, Farnese, who sensed a subtle anger from such a voice, trembled in fear.
In fact, even while preparing for the ceremony, I was aware to some extent that this act itself could be a deception towards the transcendent being……
As expected, it made planting uncomfortable.
However, since it was necessary to take the risk and listen to the transcendent being’s intention regarding this question, Farnese bowed his head to the floor.
Of course, there was a possibility that the answer from earlier was still a veil.
But the mere fact that he had communicated this insignificant ritual gave Farnese a relief.
When ants draw bizarre patterns, offer offerings, and pray, it can be seen as miraculous, but paying attention to their voices is pure mercy.
While the indwelling transcendental being may be close to a demon or an evil spirit, it does not mean that its nature is completely out of sync.
Even if you really want to borrow your boat and manifest in the human world, if you earnestly ask for it, you won’t use yourself as a vessel at the most important moment.
“…… A lowly insignificant thing has crossed the subject with a short insight, so I earnestly beg you to take away that anger.”
With an apology from the heart, not a pretense to get out of the situation quickly, Farnese confessed his sins and begged for forgiveness.
There was no answer from her, and only a long silence greeted her.
And that long silence was enough to give Farnese the illusion that the transcendent being within it had left.
At that, Farnese was taken aback and raised his young head.
Fear of a different meaning strikes.
If you think about it, it was.
There are owners who scold their dogs when they do something wrong, but there are also owners who don’t and throw them away.
Why did he only think he would punish his rudeness?
Farnese hurriedly lifted the skirt of his priestly robe, opened his large breasts that obscured his view, and lowered his head.
‘Ah…… ‘
It was fortunate.
The sign of ownership did not disappear and remained in the lower abdomen.
But he might have been left behind because he wasn’t worth collecting.
There have also been numerous cases of abandoned dogs wearing leashes.
For this reason, Farnese raised his trembling hands together and prayed again several times.
I will gladly accept any punishment for the rudeness I have committed.
Awkward!
And did that repentance work?
I feel a strange tactile sensation on the inside of the priestly clothes I am wearing, on my lower stomach.
At that, Farnese shrank his body and instinctively gave him strength.
“Keep——!”
He doesn’t live a smooth life, I thought he was used to pain.
The body that had been changed into a woman’s body must have disappeared along with that resistance, and let out an ugly scream at the touch of her lower belly.
This is a passage that shows how much mercy the strange hands that have been caressing you have had.
Her delicate body reflexively twisted her back to try to run away, but Farnese barely suppressed that instinct and accepted the severe punishment.
Did you dare to think that I would borrow such a lowly ship and manifest in the human world?
It seems like he’s scolding you so much, but how could he be so cunning?
“Wow! Huh…… ! Heuuu!”
However, apart from that, Farnese, who was kneeling down in so much pain near the uterus, which was also compressed, shamefully took a picture of his buttocks.
Saliva drips from the corners of his half-open mouth, and his body, drenched in cold sweat, spreads his unique scent all over the room.
In the end, it wasn’t long before Farnese was lying helplessly on the cold floor and shed tears.
“Wow…… ! Ah…… ?”
Then, embarrassed himself by the tears, he puts his hands up and covers his face.
Why is it so embarrassing that the tears that flow down regardless of his own will.
When she was living as a mercenary, Farnese watched and experienced how female mercenaries used tears as a weapon when conflicts broke out.
Because of that, he hated the act of evading the situation he was in, and it seemed like he was following that act himself.
He was in a situation where he had nothing to say even if he deserved the punishment, and even calling it “Punishment” Was nothing more than an embarrassing scolding.
However, as if his body couldn’t bear it any longer, he followed the disgust and took the appearance of trying to escape.
At that, Farnese felt primal shame.
He thought that gender was not a factor in defining himself.
In fact, isn’t it funny how people instinctively try to escape this situation by using women’s tears as a weapon?
In front of a transcendent existence that even that would have no meaning.
If the subject had been a human male, he would have been able to attach even lame excuses and excuses.
“Ah…… “
But funny enough, as soon as her hands pressing down on her belly became soft, Farnese’s hair became very complicated.
From the point of view of the transcendental being that dwells, he must have accepted the pain thinking that this was enough……
From Farnese’s point of view, he couldn’t shake off the distorted interpretation that he wondered if it was because of his own tears.
Perhaps he wants to project such a humanity that the transcendent being dwells in it has a sense of compassion.
Human beings have always had a tendency to try to fit something incomprehensible to their own standards.
“Ugh, yes…… “
Yes.
Apart from the sense of shame that circulates throughout the body, what would it be like?
Because birth is a being that can never be understood by human standards, it is only natural that there will be many different interpretations.
We wouldn’t expect a transcendental being or a mere insignificant human being to correctly recognize and understand themselves.
It would be enough if only actions did not go against the plant like today.
At that, Farnese pulled up the skirt of his priestly robe by himself, holding a slight moan in the contrasting soft touch.
It seems that the dog, after being scolded, panting at the owner’s hand stroking it, lays down and shows off his belly, although the shame was intense……
Farnese never wanted to miss this opportunity.
For transcendental beings dwelling, what could they not do if they could become objects of affection rather than just pet dolls?
Favorite dogs often live more humane lives than humans.
Is it for nothing that a life that is not even as good as a dog’s?
“Ah, ugh…… Hmm…… “
A tickling voice flows out one after another as the hand rubs the belly.
I thought several times that I wanted to stop that vulgar voice right away, but Farnese wanted to imprint on these touches that he was happy.
‘…… ‘
At the same time, at that thought, Farnese swallowed a short silence.
This act of gently rubbing the lower belly was not just “Pretending to be in a good mood”, It was because I realized that I was really doing it.
「The apostate snake nearby is playing the flute. 」
The grotesque voice of a transcendent being that echoes after.
The Serpent of Apostasy?
A flute?
By forcing his mind, which can hardly be refined, Farnese tried to interpret the word that was close to advice.
The serpent of apostasy, it must mean that there are fallen people in the Holy Kingdom.
The symbolism of the flute is deception, so is it that he is trying to corrupt the people around him?
“Ah…… “
After accepting the meaning, albeit roughly, Farnese noticed that the hand that had been rubbing her lower abdomen had left.
He struggled to get up and put his hands together.
“Your servant will accept the revelation.”
The king’s order to take care of a member of parliament is the same as fixing it, and the order to stop an enemy to a retainer is the same as killing him.
So this advice may have been a simple consideration for himself, but Farnese, who heard it, had no choice but to harbor the idea that the snake of apostasy should be eliminated.
After praying and cleaning up the traces of his ritual, Farnese sat down on the bed.
Sureuk.
Then, with a sudden thought, I put my hand down and rub his belly myself.
…… Surprisingly, I didn’t feel anything.
