"I... I..." Atalante was completely overwhelmed.
Even though... what she had just experienced with Haruka Kasugano felt incredible...
Was she really going to betray her vow to the Goddess, even as a Heroic Spirit? She was supposed to remain eternally pure...
Gradually, black smoke began to emanate from Atalante's arms. Her second Noble Phantasm, [Agrius Metamorphosis], was starting to take effect.
"I... will kill you! If I kill you, the children will be liberated!!!" Atalante roared.
"Oho, so you've chosen the third option... Impressive!" Haruka Kasugano couldn't help but snicker.
At that moment, the children around them began to cry out again.
"Is Mommy going to kill Daddy?"
"No, Daddy is the one who loves us! She isn't our Mommy!"
"You hateful woman, don't hurt Daddy!"
Hearing those voices, Atalante's heart shattered. But she had hardened her resolve to kill Haruka Kasugano and save the children.
"He lied to you! He can hurt you so casually; he doesn't love you at all! I'm going to kill him!" Atalante bellowed.
"Oho, you actually found a bug in the logic? Remarkable!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
Bang!!!
Atalante immediately drew her bow and unleashed a volley of arrows at Haruka Kasugano. Haruka Kasugano didn't hold back either, immediately swinging his [Silver Arm] to parry and slash at her. Since they were still within Jack's thick mist, the situation was extremely disadvantageous for Atalante.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
After a frantic exchange, Atalante was soon gasping for breath, collapsing to her knees. Jack's mist had drastically reduced her agility; the speed she took such pride in was now useless before Haruka Kasugano.
"Oho, it looks like you won't submit after all?" Haruka Kasugano teased.
"How could I ever submit to you? You're a monster who hurts children!" Atalante roared.
Yikes, I thought threatening to kill the kids would work, but it backfired instead, Haruka Kasugano thought. Oh well, no matter. I have another way.
"Little Jack, it's time for your performance~!" Haruka Kasugano chuckled.
"Okay~!" Little Jack waved her hand.
All the children around them seemed to turn into smoke, surging into Little Jack's body. In an instant, Jack returned to her original form, her height stretching back to 150cm. Since her outfit was already quite revealing, she casually leaned over, discarded the black fabric, arched her "pomelos," and aimed them at Haruka Kasugano.
"What... what are you doing?" Atalante was shocked, completely unable to grasp Haruka Kasugano's intent.
Then, Haruka Kasugano's hands—as powerful as iron clamps—gripped Jack's rounded, ripe "pomelos" and shoved the key firmly into the lock.
"Ah~! Ah~! Ah~!" Jack screamed instantly. "Hubby is so amazing~! Jack loves this~!"
She turned her head, pulling Haruka Kasugano down to meet her in a deep, passionate kiss. Watching the scene of the petite Jack and Haruka Kasugano in carnal union, Atalante finally snapped.
"What... what are you people doing..."
"You bastard! How can you do those things to a child?"
Haruka Kasugano ignored her. Jack was a "legal loli," so he felt no guilt. This was all just a show for Atalante anyway.
"Hubby, she's overheating with rage! I'm so happy~!" The naturally mischievous Jack giggled.
[Ding! Little Jack's 'Leaping the Wall' rating +10!]
[Little Jack is a B-rank beauty. To maximize benefits, the system has stored these points for the Host.]
"AAAAAAAAAAHHH—" Atalante clutched her head, screaming in a frenzy.
"Hehehe..."
"Let her go! Let me take her place for the punishment! Stop bullying her!" Atalante looked up and wailed.
"Hehehe~! Fine. Do you promise to take her place and become my sow?" Haruka Kasugano smirked.
"As long as you let her go, I'm willing to be your sow!" Atalante cried out.
Haruka Kasugano then pushed away the reluctant Jack and turned his focus toward Atalante. "Crawl over here. Let me see your sincerity~!" Haruka Kasugano teased.
Left with no choice, Atalante got down on all fours like a true cat, swaying her hips as she crawled toward Haruka Kasugano step by step. Seeing Jack still hugging Haruka Kasugano from behind, she knew she had no chance for a surprise attack.
Once again... she opened her beautiful, vivid lips.
"Ah..."
----------
"Mmm-hph~!" Atalante reluctantly sucked on the "lollipop." Her soft knees were now scraped raw from the hard pavement of the misty London streets. She had to force herself to find enjoyment in it.
"Very good. Little Jack, do you see that? This is a legendary 'sow'~!" Haruka Kasugano laughed.
Little Jack, hugging him from behind, also had a face full of smiles. "Mhm-hmm! She's a very pretty sow~!"
Haruka Kasugano grabbed Atalante's tail and laughed, "A sow needs to have the self-awareness of a sow. You understand, right?"
Atalante nodded while continuing her work.
"That's right, that's right! If you're not obedient, Hubby will make us serve him instead~!" Jack added, fanning the flames.
"Don't! I'll work hard! I'll never let you be hurt!" Atalante shouted toward Jack. Then, she redoubled her efforts.
[Ding! Host has successfully coerced Atalante. Atalante has become your sow. Congratulations to the Host for unlocking Atalante's 'Cao Cao' mission!]
[Atalante is rated as an A-rank Lady.]
[Congratulations! Host's Magic Resistance has reached B-rank!]
Aha, my Magic Resistance went up again. Now at B-rank, he was on the same level as Siegfried. While not as powerful as Artoria's A-rank, it was strong enough to suppress Gordes' Command Spells for a period in the original story. Simply put, B-rank is a formidable level.
Looking down at the beautiful, slender, and long-limbed Atalante, Haruka Kasugano's gaze sharpened. He involuntarily reached out, slowly touching her silk-smooth skin. His hands roamed over her, feeling her warmth and softness, occasionally sliding down to her "fat cheeks" to feel the staggering elasticity.
So smooth, so tender, so delicate~!
By the way, should I trick her into giving me her Master's rights?
...Actually, better not for now.
He didn't have the magical prowess of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada. If he tried to seize Master rights, Amakusa would definitely notice, and his alliance with the Red Faction would collapse. He still needed Amakusa and Shakespeare to help him "conquer" Jeanne. The risks outweighed the rewards.
He'd give Atalante a pass for now. She wouldn't be able to escape in the end anyway. Atalante's Magic Resistance was only D-rank. She could barely resist Haruka Kasugano's [Tear Mole of Love], let alone his [Demonic Face]. Her constant resistance was just a temporary defense born from her misandry.
But now... after so much "subtle" influence, both her body and mind had begun to fall for Haruka Kasugano's charm. You could tell by how she was now "eating the ice cream" passionately without needing to be prodded.
"So thick..."
"So delicious~!"
"Pah, how could I like a man..."
Even though her mouth remained stubborn, her body was singing a different tune. Haruka Kasugano checked the time and decided it was time to retreat. When he pulled back the "lollipop," a clear look of reluctance flashed across Atalante's face.
"Alright, playtime is over. You should head back now~!" Haruka Kasugano shooed her.
Atalante stood up unsteadily, using her mana to repair her clothes. "I'm warning you... I've agreed to be your slave. You must keep your promise! Do not hurt her!" She spat out the threat.
"Of course. I'm a man of my word!" Haruka Kasugano chuckled. I'm not from this world anyway; divine retribution can't touch me!
Soon, she left the mist and Trifas. Haruka Kasugano had briefly considered breaking her completely to make her Alterize, but decided against it. Her darkening didn't really change much for him. If she went Alter, that kid Achilles who had a crush on her would probably play the traitor just to sacrifice himself to purify her. He'd lose a woman for nothing. Better to keep her as she was and let her survive until he could take her away after the War.
