Destroying the Virgin-the Making of a Saint- - Chapter 19: Abhorrence and Powerlessness

“How do you like your new body, Akane? There may be inconveniences for now, but soon…”

Once the wounds jointed by bolts healed, the pain would be relieved to some extent. Akane, though, seemed unconvinced. That was not what Akane was directing her frustration at. Perhaps even her tears had already been exhausted, and she had become like a machine that only opened its eyes vacantly and sobbed frequently.

“Why… this kind of thing, why…”

“Sigh, I told you I don’t like saying the same thing over andiover again. I, toward you…”

I wanted to preserve beautiful things in all their full glory. Wasn’t that the natural psychology of a human being? Nonetheless, Akane did not try to grasp this. As if she did not understand how valuable her own beauty was as a form of art.

“No more… no, no, no…! Father, Mother…!”

Uncharacteristically, Akane threw a tantrum. The only thing she could move of her own volition was her torso and neck. The puppet’s limbs only creaked and squeaked hollowly from their spherical joints.

“What is there to lament? You may be a work in progress, but you have thus taken the first step toward eternal beauty, you know?”

The present Akane could no longer be called a human being. Rather, she was a living doll in progress, with inorganic arms and legs sprouting from her torso. Akane lamented the distortion of her figure.

“Not only in athletics but with friends, with people I like… I can’t even walk side by side and hold hands with such a body…”

“I bestowed you that body because there is no necessity for you to do such a thing. Fear not, you are here, with me, for all eternity…”

Akane didn’t have to deal with such things.

You simply had to be by my side. And those arms and legs were a charity to maintain my desired position, and for me to move them as I pleased. For you to move them of your own will was inessential.

“…Ugh.”

With a devilish look on her face, Akane attempted to pounce on me. But instead of springing from the operating table to me, Akane tumbled down from the operating table vigorously.

“You can’t even hit me voluntarily anymore. Have you come to understand how powerless you are now?”

Without any strength in her limbs, Akane was unable to even get up on her own. Indeed, she was powerless.

“Unforgivable… I won’t ever forgive you…!”

“You don’t have to forgive nor do I have to be forgiven. All you need to do is to preserve your beautiful appearance and stay by my side. As long as you are beautiful, I swear to protect you.”

Neither power nor freedom was required of her.

Just fascinate me with your beauty, perpetually.
