"Just. What the fuck are these?" Caitlyn cursed. I contracted spies to scout out the Meretrix Mansion's surrounding areas. One of them brought back a sketch of a creature that reportedly roamed there. It was humanoid at least, but with a ridiculously long neck and a head that was deformed. Its jaws were that of a wild beast's.
"These things have been roaming?" Andrea asked. "This looks... unnatural."
"Something strange is definitely happening there," I remarked. "Whatever it is, we have to investigate it. Is everyone ready?"
With my newfound wealth I purchased expensive gear for Caitlyn, Andrea, and Seira: robes and armor, a new sword and axe for Caitlyn and Andrea respectively, a healing wand for Seira. I prepared Janine for my visit to the Meretrix Mansion: Petra managed to make her vagina tighter via a mix of electrocution and magical potions. She pierced her nipples and clit, too.
Caitlyn, Andrea, and Seira nodded. "Then let's hope this one runs smoothly...."
I went via carriage (I wanted to fly, but Janine obviously couldn't). Per Magna and Ivala's advice, I brought with me a bottle of heinously expensive wine as gifts. However, Caitlyn, Andrea, and Seira travelled via horses instead to hasten things up.
"I expect you to do well, Janine," I said. "Don't disappoint me."
"Yes, Master," she replied. "I'll do my best!"
We reached the Meretrix Mansion. "Hello, Sir. May I see your invitation letter?" the receptionist asked. Perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised that she was barely dressed. I handed her the letter.
"Ah. Room 6 on the right wing, Sir. Would you like to be escorted?"
"No need. Can you tell me what the events are here?"
The receptionist laughed. "Do not concern yourself with such things, Sir. You are free to use all facilities as you wish; although we ask that you be considerate to the other guests. There will be feasts and games, of course, but you will be informed as they occur."
"Very well then."
Immediately as I entered my room, I exploited my mind connection to my companions. "It's Karl here. What's the situation?"
"Caitlyn here. From what we've gathered, we have a... rather difficult situation. The villages have been suffering heavy casualties. If it does come to conflict against these abominations, we will be on our own."
"Right. These abominations, what are they?"
"I managed to get access to a corpse. From what Andrea and I understood, these are-nay, were-humans."
"Is it some form of necromancy?"
"No. According to a local priest, holy anti-undead magic doesn't work. This night we'll try to capture one alive."
"Okay. Good luck."
I slept for a couple hours on the large bed, because I was likely to not sleep during the night. Janine slept on a smaller bed to the left. I was later invited to a dinner.
The dinner was quite pleasant and uneventful. The other guests and I were treated to some erotic naked dancing, but otherwise it was rather underwhelming in comparison to how Ivala described it. That evening, as I started to prepare for my trip to the nearby village, Janine had a request for me.
"M-Master," she pleaded. "Would you like to use me, please?" She was on all fours, spreading her buttcheeks with her hands. I smirked and whipped my cock out.
"I suppose you have been a good girl," I said as I rubbed my cock against her gaping anus.
"I-in my pussy, please...."
"Do you think it's tight enough now?" I teased.
"Yes, Master!" I pushed into her wet cunt. I seized her dangling breasts. The blonde elf moaned while she swung her hips, desperately trying to please me. I pushed two fingers inside her anus as I mercilessly pounded her pussy.
"What do you say, slut?" I asked with a loud slap on her ass.
"Thank you Master! Thank you for using this pathetic slut's worthless pussy!" Janine shouted. I pulled out from her pussy and shoved it inside her anus instead. She squirted immediately. I took a nearby dildo and plugged her pussy with it.
Janine's anus accomodated my cock quite easily. As I thrust forward, Janine pulled backwards, creating a rhytm. "Come here, Janine." I pulled out. Janine knelt on the floor and sucked on my cock, her tongue cleaning the filth my cock contracted in her anus.
"Kah!" I ejaculated on Janine's tongue. She drank it all. "Satisfied enough, you whore?"
"Yes, Master. Thank you very much."
"Ah. Open your mouth." My bladder couldn't be held back and I pissed on her mouth. "Good, Janine." I pat her head before heading for the village. Utilizing my link to Caitlyn, I flew in the sky and spotted her aura quite handily.
"Master!" Caitlyn greeted me as I landed, sword in hand. "Behind you!"
One of the long-necked creatures lunged at me from behind. I swung my blade, decapitating it. Only now did I see the situation. Andrea and Caitlyn were fighting off an assault of those creatures. The village guards attempted to help with their short swords and spears, as well as arrows shot by archers, but these accursed cretin were mostly too fast. I hurled a lust bomb at one of the creatures while I clashed swords with another.
Caitlyn dashed like a shadow, hunting down the creatures mercilessly while Andrea hacks them to pieces with her axe. A small flood, an array of black arrows, and a wave of thunderbolts sent by Andrea, Caitlyn, and I sent them running.
"Just in time," I remarked. "What on earth happened here?"
"These creatures... they're intelligent living beings. They have been raiding nearby villages for livestock and humans for weeks," Andrea reported. An old man approached us.
"Are you the leader of this group?" he asked. I nodded in affirmation. "I thank you, but if you are a mercenary company, you should leave. This village is poor and cannot afford it."
"We are here to investigate and neutralize these...."
"Unpeople."
"Ah, that's what you call them? Yes, we're here to neutralize the Unpeople. We require no payment. So long as this is agreeable to you, our purposes are aligned, I believe."
Inquisitor Grey came from the village. "Elder, I have evacuated the-ah, here are my allies. They'll help us."
The elder smiled. "Well, in that case, we'll welcome any assistance."
We went to an inn where Caitlyn, Andrea, and Seira stayed to discuss strategy. Inquisitor Grey brought an unconscious Unperson. "I'll try and cure him," Inquisitor Grey said.
"And how will you do it?"
"Lord of Light, give me strength!" Inquisitor Grey's hands extended, blasting a burst of light at the Unperson.
"A-ah." The Unperson's monstrous qualities gradually vanished. "I-what am I doing?"
Inquisitor Grey gathered his breath. "That took me more power than I expected. But it worked."
"Who are you? What happened to me?" the man asked.
"We believe you were captured by certain criminals who distorted you and turned you into a monster," I answered. "What do you remember?"
"I remember gathering firewood in the forests... and then, ah! Yes, I remember two men with that uniform attacking me from behind!"
"This uniform?" Inquisitor Grey pointed at his cloak and shirt. "This runs deeper than I thought."
"And why is that?"
"This kind of white cloak is only worn by high-rank Inquisitors. There are only about fifty of us in the whole world."
We withdrew a bit, allowing the man to rest. "So what's our plan now?"
"My spell worked better than I expected. We have to cure them all," he said. "The problem is that it will never be enough. We must cut the snake by its head."
"For now, we have done enough. I will investigate some more. The next night, we begin our real investigation."
