Chapter 32: Dress-Up Dolling

Lucio whispered into my ear his nasty desires.

I have no choice but to do it…..

“I want you to do what I desire from you.”

I already know what you’re going to say!

“I’m still a virgin….so please be gentle…” I said.

Lucio looked at me confused for a moment. Then he started laughing.

“Hahahaha! No, no! That’s not what I mean!” Lucio tapped my shoulder.

“H-huh?”

“I’m talking about cosplay, of course! Have you already forgotten?”

Ah. Oh yeah, right. 

“I still have a collection of all your photos, would you like to see?”

“No thanks!”

“You look disappointed. Do you actually want to do it with me?”

“Me? Disappointed? No way!” I blushed.

“Well, I don’t care about what you think. Sex is such a pain. I’m not interested in the risks of impregnating you and having to take care of a baby in the middle of an apocalypse. I don’t understand why people love to do it so much. I’ve even heard people say they’re proud of not being a virgin. What’s the big deal, anyway? A genius like myself can’t comprehend the brains of plebians!” Lucio said.

“I-Is that so?”

I’m lucky…..

“Well then, chop chop! It’s time for you to get dressed!”

This sucks…..

Firstly, I was made to dress up as a maid.

“How pretty!” Lucio said. “Try holding your skirt and bowing.”

I did as told and he took pictures of me in different poses.

“Flex your leg upward.”

I was pretty much flustered the entire time…

Next up, I was made to dress up in a bunny suit.

“Aw, this outfit exposes my breasts….”

“No complaining. Go kneel on the floor.”

It's similar to dressing up at the mall, except the outfits are a little too bizarre!

I was forced to wear a sailor uniform, a demon queen’s dress, a martial arts costume and a cowgirl’s outfit. All of which exposed my skin way too much!

“Say yeehaw!”

“Y-yeehaw!”

“What a cutie!”

The last thing he did was make me wear cat pajamas, which was the most decent, but it was still embarrassing!

All that dressing up was exhausting.

“Well done, my dress-up dolling!”

“Stop with the anime reference,” I said while taking off the pajamas.

“Hey, don’t take it off. That’s what you’ll be wearing on the bed,” Lucio said.

“Ah, jeez. Seriously?” I muttered.

Lucio turned off the lights and we both slept on the same bed.

“Good night, Ori.”

I didn’t respond to him. It’s not like he ordered me to.

“Hey, are you ignoring me now?”

Lucio suddenly put his arms around my waist and hugged me tightly.

“EEEK!”

“Cute….I wish we could stay like this forever….”

I don’t want to do this……

When Lucio fell asleep, I started to cry.

I want to be hugged by Perci this way….no one else.

But, I have no choice.

If I want to protect him, then I have to endure it, no matter what.

…………………

In the morning, Lucio placed his arm around me while heading for the restaurant to eat some breakfast. I was made to wear a gothic outfit with chains everywhere in front of everybody.

They all looked at me with strange looks on their faces.

“Woah, what’s up with her, Lucio? Why is she wearing such creepy clothing?” a girl said.

“Don’t call it creepy. That’s too mean. She just wants to wear this sort of outfit today. You can’t just judge her tastes. Some people love it, some people don’t, so stop discriminating, ok?” Lucio smiled.

“All right. Sorry.”

I can’t believe he said I liked this outfit. Well, it’s not so bad anyway…

“Hey, isn’t that girl taken by Perci?” a guy said. “What are you doing with her, Lucio?”

“Ah, that’s just a misunderstanding. They're just friends. I’m her real boyfriend, but I’ve been busy with the resort so I didn’t have much time to be with her. Right, Ori?”

“R-right.”

We both sat at a lone table for two people.

“I’ll go get some food for you,” Lucio said. “Stay here.”

When Lucio walked away, I noticed Perci going over to me.

“Ori, can we talk?”

“Sorry, I don’t want to talk to you,” I said.

“Please, just give me a minute.”

I looked away from him, not wanting to meet his eyes and covered my face with my hand.

I curled my lips inward and gripped my skirt.

“You don’t look so good, Ori. Your eyes look puffy. Are you ok?”

“Please, s-shut up.”

“Why are you dressed like that?”

“It’s none of your business.”

Lucio arrived with food and placed it on the table.

“Is there any problem, Perci?”

“Does Ori like you?” 

“Of course! Why do you think we’re seated together?”

“Is this true, Ori?”

Lucio looked at me, waiting for my response.

“Y-yes. I like Lucio, so can you please leave?”

Tears began to flow down my eyes, but I quickly wiped them off and sniffled.

“Hey…Ori…are you crying?”

“N-No! Of course not! I’m okay!”

“Could it be that Lucio’s bothering you? Please tell me.”

Perci tried to place his hand on me, but Lucio grabbed his hand gently.

“I’m not bothering her. If you ask me, it’s you that’s bothering her instead. So, would you be so kind as to leave quietly?” Lucio smiled.

“Sorry, I can’t. Not when a girl looks like she’s in anguish in front of another guy,” Perci said.

“It’s fine, Perci. Everything’s okay. Lucio is just comforting me, that’s all. Y-you’re the one who’s being a nuisance!”

“I don’t belie-”

“Perci. Aren’t you Hunters on duty today? Alex doesn’t like it when you don’t arrive on time!” Lucio said.

“But-”

Perci tried to say something, but he stopped himself.

“See you later, Perci!” Lucio said happily.

Perci walked away. Agnes looked at me from afar, but she couldn’t bear to meet my gaze and left.

“You’re not very good at acting, huh? Don’t mind. You’ll get used to it!” Lucio wiped away my tears with his hands.

“I don’t know if I can ever get used to lying to his face….”

Later that day, I was forced to wear a bikini and swim in the pool.

I covered myself by sinking in the water for most of the time.

“I can’t do this…..”

I looked around to see the creepy gazes of men all around. 

“What a waste for a body like yours…..” Lucio said. “Stop hiding, have some confidence!”

Why is he humiliating me so much?

Perci’s still away from the hunters’ duty, so at least he won’t have to see this.

I looked around and noticed the panda mascot staring at me, but it looked away swiftly.

Even the panda mascot is peeping!

Lucio treated me to a drink, but he put two straws so we could share it together.

“Isn’t that sweet?” a girl said. “You two look good together!”

Lucio looked at me while sipping with those charming golden eyes. 

I couldn’t get myself to look back though and focused on the drink.

During the late afternoon, we laid down on a mat on the sand and watched the waves of the sea and the soft glow of the sun. 

Lucio cuddled with me as I sat in between his legs. He caressed my hair and kissed me on the cheek.

Ugh…..

“What an amazing day..”

The panda mascot handed us some drinks.

“Thank you,” Lucio said.

I took the drink from the panda’s hand and smiled weakly.

“Thank you.”

The panda stared at me for a moment, then put his thumbs-up and left.

We watched the skies darken and the sun go down slowly.

“What a beautiful sunset,” Lucio said. “Don’t you think?”

“Yeah,” I said with a strained smile.

In the evening, he treated me to a private feast in his room, while I was wearing an aristocratic outfit.

“Say ah….” I muttered.

I placed the food on Lucio’s mouth and he smiled.

“Thanks, Ori.”

“N-No problem…”

“Do you like the food, Ori?”

“Yeah, it was delicious…”

I hate to admit it, but it’s true.

Late at night, the last thing he made me wear was a black and red kimono with a kabuki mask.

“Woah…you look really beautiful in that outfit.”

No matter how much he complimented me, I could never be charmed by him, so I never responded.

I decided to look at the window and stare at the moon, giving him no attention whatsoever.

“Look at me in the eyes, Ori,” Lucio forcefully tilted my face to look into his eyes.

“Lucio….”

“I really want to kiss you right now….”

I’ve already kissed him before, so I’m not exactly going to be flustered about it. 

But…it’s honestly heartbreaking to kiss a man I don’t even love.

“I d-don’t want to…” I poured out my tears in sorrow.

“This is an order.”

Lucio tightly held my chin and slowly placed his face closer to mine.

“I love you,” Lucio said. “Say that you love me back.”

“I….l-lo…..love…”

Both our lips were only an inch apart, slowly making contact.

“GAAAAAAAAH!”

“Huh?”

Suddenly, a scream could be heard from outside and the sounds of rocking footsteps followed just right after.

“Stop him! AAHH!”

“What’s going on?” Lucio asked.

“It sounds like they’re fighting outside…” I said.

Everything went quiet after that.

Suddenly, the door opened on its own and someone entered the room.

“Hahaha! Are you serious?” Lucio said. “Do you realize what you’ve done?”

It was Perci, holding a keycard in his hand and an umbrella in the other.

“I knew it.”

Perci looked at my face, which was still flowing with tears.

“P-Perci….”

“There’s no need for you to explain, I get it,” Perci said.

He pointed the umbrella at Lucio.

“You’ve been forcing her to be in a relationship with you this entire time.”
