We were at the hot spring villa.
I had come with the dwarves to start work on the new villa now that the main mansion was finally complete.
But…
"You've all been working continuously. Are you sure you're okay?"
These dwarves hadn't gone home once.
Still,
"As long as we've got booze, we're good~"
"Doesn't matter where we are."
They were already chugging from sake barrels.
"Well, even so…"
"Yeah. There's a limit to what we can do alone."
The plan was to build the villa inside a cave.
That was fine, but—
"We can't dig everything by hand."
Exactly.
That's why this world had "earth mages."
And of course, there was one among the dwarves.
"Sorry to keep you waiting~"
A female dwarf arrived.
I recognized her from the drinking party.
She looked a lot like Almar, so I was staring when she spoke.
"My foolish little sister has been in your care."
"Big sister!?"
So that's why they looked alike.
"Foolish sister" was apparently the right term.
"Abandoning our homeland just because the alcohol tasted bad? Yeah, she's definitely a fool."
But this older sister seemed incredibly serious and composed.
Now that I thought about it, I remembered seeing her happily chatting with Almar at the drinking party back in the dwarf country.
"Our paths diverged, but I'm truly grateful to you."
Almar's older sister smiled gently.
"Shall we begin?"
Her magic was incredible.
In the blink of an eye, a beautiful cave was carved into the mountain.
Not only that, the interior was neatly shaped into proper rooms.
"Yeah, as expected."
The dwarves looked satisfied.
That was great, but—
"It looks like a labyrinth!?"
There were two entrances that somehow connected into one confusing path.
"Think of it as men's bath and women's bath."
I see.
Men… well, Jerahagudomu and Urdorips were here.
Oh, and where would the penguin go?
With the cave ready, we started discussing the interior work. The high ceiling gave it a spacious, non-oppressive feel.
After giving various instructions,
"Well, there's no rush with the work. Let's take it easy, drink, and soak in the hot springs."
I called out to the dwarves.
"Sounds good!"
"Drinking in the hot springs? That's the best!"
We headed to the springs, and—
"It's hot~"
The penguin was already soaking in the water.
It had brought a whole sake barrel and was gulping it down.
"Delicious~"
A penguin in the hot springs.
I was too tired to even comment.
"Penguin in the hot spring."
"I had something for you~"
"Your 'something' never brings back good memories."
What now?
"Tonight, come to the villa. Your room~"
"…Got it."
What could it be?
That night, I went to the villa as told.
There…
"…"
The Karina doll.
But…
"Wait… is it moving?"
Yes. It was definitely moving.
"…Ah."
Ah?
"…I… will… sing."
Sing?
And that voice… I'd heard it somewhere before.
"…Penguin, music start."
Music?
I turned around. The penguin opened its beak and—
『♪♪♪～ ♪♪♪』
"Huh? What is that!?"
Guitar, bass, and drums all burst out of the penguin's mouth at once.
Are you a CD player now?
The song that started playing was one of the tracks that made me lose interest in Crazy Nasty.
『Luv Song』
Wait…
Does that mean…?
This person…?
『The word "love" feels empty and I hate it, but—』
That voice. That movement.
"…AYAKA-san?"
At the sound of my voice, the Karina doll stopped singing.
After a brief freeze,
"…Ah…"
Ah?
"Why is she so talkative when you're not around, but turns into this the moment she's in front of you~?"
The penguin stopped the music.
"Is this really AYAKA-san?"
When I asked, the penguin answered casually.
"I only brought her spirit~"
I listened as the penguin explained everything.
AYAKA only nodded silently in response.
"…M-Mio… with a Molotov cocktail?"
I knew Mio's house had burned down and that it was arson, but—
"Scary, right~?"
The penguin said it so casually.
"…I was tricked."
AYAKA spoke slowly.
"…That woman… is filthy."
According to AYAKA, she had been tailing Mio and saw her laughing and chatting with a man.
Wait, that was probably just—
"Mio's in sales. Of course she talks to clients."
"Doesn't matter. Flirting with other men is unforgivable. I deeply respect my band members, but I never smile at them."
That's because smiling is part of her job…
Come to think of it, AYAKA never smiled during lives either.
Anyway—
"Penguin, why did you bring AYAKA-san here?"
That was the biggest question.
The penguin had transferred AYAKA's spirit into the Karina doll.
What was this bird thinking?
"She reminded me of Karina~"
"In appearance?"
No, they looked nothing alike.
"No, that belief."
Oh?
"'My greatest work will definitely reach the other person.' She believed that with all her heart, just like Karina did. And the part where she refuses to tell the person directly is the same too~"
Refuses to tell directly.
Right. AYAKA had never once approached me.
"You and Mio have already broken up. You're not going back to Japan. There's no chance you'll end up with her either. So at least… could you help fulfill this girl's regret?"
Regret.
Regret, huh…
"…Well, but… hmm…"
The fact that she tried to kill Mio still bothered me a lot.
"…I apologize." AYAKA said.
Yeah.
"Yeah, first of all…"
I should at least hear her apology.
Whether Mio could forgive her was another matter, but an apology was—
Before I could finish thinking,
"…? W-What are you…?"
AYAKA started taking off her clothes.
"I'll apologize with my body."
No no no no.
You're apologizing to the wrong person.
A fake Kansai dialect almost slipped out.
I turned to the penguin for help, but it had already vanished.
That bastard ran away.
"You don't have to be gentle. You can mess me up, break me completely."
But that's Karina's body, you know.
I thought for a moment.
But in the end I said,
"Well… I do want to have sex with that body."
AYAKA's face lit up with joy.
Yeah. But this is punishment.
"♡ Then first…"
AYAKA tried to speak, but—
"Shut up."
*Smack!*
I slapped her ass hard.
"Higiii!!!"
"No screaming either. You're just a doll now."
I silenced AYAKA as she desperately tried to whisper her love.
"I'm going to spank you a lot."
I placed my hand on her ass and stripped her completely.
AYAKA's mouth opened and closed.
I think she was trying to say "I love you."
"But it's too late for that."
Trying to kill Mio was unforgivable.
This was punishment.
Thanks to Valante, I was used to dealing with stubborn asses.
Fortunately, the spanking bench was in this room, so I set it up and locked her in.
I rolled up my jacket and stuffed it in her mouth as a gag.
"Nnnnngh!!!"
AYAKA's eyes filled with tears.
But on the other side of the wall, her pussy was dripping wet.
"No foreplay. You're just a hole."
I slammed into her roughly from behind.
"Nnnnngh!!!"
The doll's texture was incredible. It even had a perfectly shaped pussy inside.
"I'll keep fucking you until you truly repent from the bottom of your heart."
I treated the doll like a tool and fucked AYAKA's possessed body relentlessly.
