Delicious Sacrifice - Chapter 6

Delicious Sacrifice - Chapter 6

Miela came to her senses because of the hand that was stroking her body. 

“Huh…?” 

As she tossed and turned in her sleep, the hands hesitated. The stopping woke her up even more. She was awake, but her body felt heavy. She didn’t want to open her eyes, so she stayed still, and then her body started to be touched again. Now that she could sense it clearly, it wasn’t just someone’s hands but also their mouth. 

…… With their mouth? 

Miela opened her eyes wide as she came to her senses. 

Her eyes met the monster that had been biting the flesh on the inside of her wrist. 

“I wasn’t eating you.” 

“I haven’t eaten that rabbit yet!” 

Miela and the monster shouted almost simultaneously. 

The monster let go of her wrist, which it had been holding awkwardly. 

Miela looked around and brought her wrist to her chest. Now that she looked, the location had changed. She was on the bed where she had first opened her eyes. And her clothes were still completely off. The monster must have been annoyed because the clothes he had been wearing had also disappeared. 

No matter how much of a monster he was, he looked like a healthy human male. Just lying naked on a bed with him made her blush. Even though they had already seen everything, it was the same. 

Miela pulled the sheets over her body to cover herself. She had taken the blanket earlier, so she didn’t have it. 

“Should I take you to the room where you were getting dressed earlier?” 

The monster asked after seeing her. Miela immediately smiled and raised her head, then lowered her eyes again. As she moved little by little, she realized that her body was in not in a condition to get dressed right away. 

Her whole body was sticky from sweating and rolling around in front of the fire. The monster’s saliva, which was there as he been sucking her, also played a part. 

The stickiest part was between her legs. Every time she moved, the sticky liquid leaked out from there and ran down her thighs. If she got dressed like this, both her clothes and her body would be a mess. 

“Excuse me… is there a place where I can wash up?” 

Miela asked without much expectation. There was no way the monster, who had never lit a fire before, would wash up in warm water. 

“There is.”

The monster unexpectedly answered lightly. Could it be that he misunderstood the word washing? Miela tilted her head suspiciously. 

The monster lifted Miela up with the sheet and held her in his arms. This time, instead of carrying her on his shoulders like a sack, he supported her buttocks with one arm and made her sit like she was in a chair. It was better than hanging upside down and swaying, but the heightened gaze made her feel uneasy. Miela quickly hung on to the monster’s neck. 

The monster walked down the long hallway without making a sound. Even though he was holding Miela with one arm, his gait did not waver. 

He passed the room where she had dug up the clothes and the kitchen where she had burned the rabbit. The castle was unimaginably large. One would never know such a large castle existed from the outside. 

“It’s really big.” 

“It is big.” 

“Did you find this place?” 

No one knew when the monster came into being. When Miela moved to this village, they were already offering sacrifices, and even before that, and before that, it had been passed down as a tradition. Ten years seemed both short and long. 

“No. I was here from the start.” 

The monster had said that he had lived long enough to hear words and learn the language on his own. 

“With your parents?” 

“I don’t have parents.” 

“So were you just born like this from the beginning?” 

“Well……. I don’t remember.” 

“Um… Then what do you remember?” 

“Remember…….” 

The monster paused for a long time, lost in thought, as if it was the first time it had thought of such a thing. 

“I was just here alone……. When I was hungry, I ate whatever looked delicious.” 

“Is that all?” 

“Then one day, I heard a sound from far away and started listening. And I continued living like that.” 

Miela was silent. He lived just like an animal. No, not just an animal. A monster-like, handsome animal. 

Meanwhile, the monster stopped walking. Miela turned her head to the hot, humid air that stung her nose. 

“…… Wow…….”

Even if it was just spring water, she would have been grateful. But what was unfolding before her eyes was a hot spring. The mist rising from the warm water was everywhere. 

On one side of the castle was a hot spring connected to a terrace. Smooth marble tiles were laid out from the door leading outside, and the hot spring bath was quite large and circular. Surrounding the hot spring bath were sculptures that coiled around it, creating an antique atmosphere. 

Although it was old and worn, it was not hard to guess how splendid and magnificent it must have been when it was first built. 

The monster splashed into the hot spring bath while holding Miella in his arms. The water temperature was just right. Miela looked around while hugging the monster’s neck. 

There was a drainage system where the hot spring water was supplied from one side and drained from the other. 

“Who on earth lived here? Was it this empty from the beginning?” 

“Yeah. It seemed clean at first, but it gradually became like this.” 

Of course it was because he didn’t clean it…… Miela tried to swallow what she wanted to say as a sacrifice. The duty of a sacrifice was not to nag, but to remain quiet. But if she was going to live a little longer, she had to start cleaning. 

She felt her body loosening up as she soaked in the warm water. Miela poured water on herself little by little. 

The monster let go of Miela as if telling her to wash as she pleased. Miela, who had escaped the monster’s embrace, began to wash in earnest. 

There was sweat from being nervous in the stuffy dress, sweat from being in front of the fire, and sweat from reaching an orgasm in an unfamiliar relationship. If she were to be eaten right now, he would probably spit her out from being too salty from all the sweat.

The sweat from her body had hardened and crumbly like salt. Miela, who had been washing herself for a while, raised her head when she felt her body itching from being stared at.  

“……?” 

The monster was staring at Miela with blank eyes. 

Miela realized something and dove into the water.

It was a monster that thought she smelled delicious even when covered in sweat. If she was covered in soot in front of a fire, she was smoked, and if she was soaked in water…… she was like boiled pork……? 

If he liked boiled pork more than smoked pork, she would be finished here. Miela trembled. 

“Excuse me, Mister monster! I haven’t eaten the rabbit yet!” 

Miela desperately vented the reason why he shouldn’t eat her right now. 

“I’ll just taste you.” 

The monster got closer again in an instant. Before Miela could even prepare herself, long, strong arms wrapped around her waist. 

The monster’s face touched her chest. Miela hugged the monster’s head in a panic. The monster must have heard the sound of her heart beating hard. 

The monster licked Miela’s beating heart for a long time. She was worried that its sharp teeth would pop out and pierce her flesh. Her heart beat even harder out of anxiety. She didn’t know that because of that, she was sweating and giving off a smell that was even more tempting to the monster. 

Miela gasped at the monster’s tongue that sucked her flesh to the point of wearing it down. Then, at one moment, a ding sound rang in her head. 

Miela was not a monster. Of course, she did not have the stamina of a monster. 

Getting excited on an empty stomach in a hot spring was dangerous for a human with average stamina. 

Miela fainted for the third time.

Every time she opened her eyes, something completely unexpected happened. The first time was in a bed in an old castle, not the monster’s stomach, and the second time was in the monster’s arms. 

The third time, she woke up surrounded by a mountain of grilled meats. 

“…….” 

There was no need to think hard about the meaning. They were piled up for her to eat. 

Miela sat up and blankly stared at the various meats surrounding her bed like a fortress. 

One rabbit would be enough for one meal. What’s one? 1/5 of one would be more than enough. However, the meats surrounding the bed looked like 50 different kinds of meats, including rabbits, deer, sheep, and weasels. 

“Eat.” 

The monster covered in soot gave the order. 

Miela moved her body slowly on the bed. She was so hungry that she thought she wouldn’t be able to help it if she was eaten right now. 

The thing covering her body fell off. Looking closely, it wasn’t a blanket but clothes. The monster must have brought these and covered her. 

He seemed to be devoted to the sacrifice it would soon eat. She felt proud that she could become such a delicious sacrifice. 

Miela picked up random clothes she saw and put them on and got down from the bed. 

He must have cooked them diligently that none of them showed any blood. She grabbed some meat and took a bite, but the smell of wild animals and the smell of burnt meat filled her mouth at the same time. 

“Ugh.” 

She had to spit it out right after she bit into it. 

“What’s wrong?” 

The monster looked back and forth between the meat and Miela and asked. 

“Um…, could you give me some seasoning?” 

“Seasoning?” 

“Yes, the white powder, black powder, or red powder that was in the room where we started the fire earlier.” 

Salt, pepper, and others. She thought he wouldn’t understand if she identified them by their names, so she explained them instead. 

“Ah.” 

The monster nodded as if it remembered. 

“……?” 

She thought he would get up and bring it if he knew. But the monster just stood still. Miela blankly stared at the monster, wondering what he was doing. 

After a while, the door creaked open on its own. 

It didn’t open on its own. It was just that an animal shorter than a human had opened the door and come in, so it seemed to have opened on its own. 

“Eek!” 

The animal that opened the door and came in was a bear. 

“…… be, bear!” 

“Yeah.” 

The bear quietly put down the bags it had brought on the floor. Did bears usually have such clear eyes? Miela didn’t know, since it was the first time she had seen a bear in real life. The bear put down the bags and remained still with clear eyes.
