I Became a Gallery Manager in Another World

「…Hngh..!♥ Ugh!… W-Wait♥… This… nghk!♥..!.」

Squeeze─

Terrace’s tightly clenched fists dug his nails into his palms, causing blood to drip.

His head felt like it was overheating, as if his brain was melting.

’Hmph… Terrace. How is it? The taste of the dish I prepared for you?’

’Yes, I, Valentine, am happy to be with you.’

’Terrace. I love you.’

Memories of the moments he shared with Valentine flashed before Terrace’s eyes like hallucinations.

「Ah… Ahh!♥… N-No…!♥… M-My…nipple♥…Hngk!.♥…D-Don’t…bite it!♥…Hng… Ooh… Ohhh!♥」

It was impossible to believe.

The Valentine who had always been by his side was now moaning in such a vulgar manner under another man’s touch.

"Hngk… sob… V-Valentine…"

Terrace’s eyes, bloodshot and wide open, had forgotten even to blink. His overly excited body drooled like a dog, a sight completely different from the always composed and neatly dressed "Terrace Bluetulip," famous in high society.

But…

"Ah!…! Ahh!"

What was more horrifying than his current state was the fact that his own twisted fetish was being excited by the agony of the situation.

「…Nghk!!♥… Hnghh!!?..♥… Ah… Ah… Aah….!!!」

His precious Valentine, whom he had been too scared to even touch…

Was now being treated like a cheap whore by Ian, a man she barely knew.

「I… Aaah!!!♥ Hng… Ughh?!♥ Ghhkkk

Seeing Valentine desperately trying to resist the pleasure Ian was giving her, Terrace’s hand slowly moved toward his groin.

"Ah!…Hngk!…V-Valentine!… Ahh!!"

He knew it instinctively.

If he gave in and pleasured himself now, there would be no turning back.

But even knowing that, at this moment, all Terrace wanted was to indulge in ’defeat masturbation.’

"Hngk… Y-Yes!.. Haa!.. Haa!… This… This is all… just a game for me! It’s a game!! Valentine is only showing such a disheveled appearance because she knows it will please me!"

After a long hesitation, Terrace finally gave in to temptation, granting himself permission as he began to pull down his pants.

"Hngk…"

As his hand touched his pre-cum-covered member, a sharp wave of pleasure shot up his spine.

If he just stroked it a little, he would feel a pleasure unlike anything he had experienced before.

"Haa!… Haa!"

As he anticipated the coming pleasure and was about to begin his defeat masturbation…

「H-Hngk!♥… S-Stop it!… T-Terrace!… Terrace!!! Please help…!!… Help me!.. T-Terrace!」

Snap─

At Valentine’s tearful plea for help, something in Terrace’s mind snapped back to reality.

’…What… What was I about to do?’

Was he possessed by a demon for a moment?

Was he really about to let his precious first love, his childhood friend, his wife, fall into the arms of another man, all for the sake of his pleasure?

There was no one more insane than him at this moment.

’I-If I act now…!!’

Ian and Valentine hadn’t crossed the line yet, so there was still a chance.

Of course, he would have to apologize to Valentine—beg her for forgiveness, admit that he had gone mad, and promise never to do anything like this again.

Then, they could forget about today and rebuild their relationship as husband and wife.

Clench─

Grinding his teeth, Terrace ignored the temptation to touch himself and slowly walked toward the ’mirror.’

"I will… never… lose Valentine… again."

…That’s what he thought.

Click- creak─

"Nice to meet you, Sir Terrace."

At that moment, a voice he didn’t recognize came from the opposite door.

"Wh-Who are you?!"

Caught off guard by the unexpected appearance, Terrace hurriedly pulled up his pants and shouted.

"My name is Natalia. It’s an honor to serve you today, Sir Terrace."

When Terrace turned around to see who was speaking, he saw a maid with noticeable freckles.

If one were to call her a beauty, it would be just barely.

Of course, compared to Valentine, she didn’t even come close.

It wasn’t just her appearance.

Even her figure, which was barely visible under her uniform, was unremarkable.

Without a doubt, Natalia’s feminine charms were nowhere near Valentine’s level.

"Who told you to serve me?! And who gave you permission to come in here?!"

"There’s no need to be alarmed. I, Natalia, have been trained for this purpose since birth. Sir Terrace, all you need to do is ’use’ me."

"T-Trained for this purpose? Use? No, I don’t need that…! I have no intention of being with anyone other than Valentine!"

"Haha! Sir Terrace, you misunderstand. This isn’t about being with someone. I’m just a tool. My only purpose is to offer pleasure to you using my body."

Sssssk─

「Ghhkkk?!?!♥」

As Natalia spoke, she glanced over at the scene between Valentine and Ian, a mocking smile on her face.

"And if you consider using me as ’being with someone,’ then you must also consider that as ’being with someone,’ don’t you?"

"That’s… different! That’s not the same!"

"Different? In what way?"

"T-That’s just… it’s just a game!"

Hearing those words, Natalia smiled brightly.

"Then why don’t we play a ’game’ together? Surely that would be fine, wouldn’t it?"

Flick-

As she said that, Natalia extended her tongue, revealing that it was split like a snake’s.

Terrace, taken aback by the sight, froze as Natalia slid her forked tongue between her fingers.

Ssslither- ssslither-

Her forked tongue coiled around her finger like two snakes wrapping around prey.

Terrace’s mouth went dry as he stared at the eerie yet strangely mesmerizing sight.

"W-What… is that tongue…"

"Ah, is my tongue bothering you? Don’t worry. It’s just been ’modified’ a little for better service."

Natalia’s eyes curved into crescent moons.

"What…?"

"There’s no need to overthink it. My family has been raised and trained by the royal family for generations, like livestock, solely for the purpose of being ’used.’ I’m simply happy to play this ’game’ with you, Sir Terrace."

Raised for the purpose of being used…

The unexpected revelation of the royal family’s dark secret made Terrace’s mind feel like it was turning to mush.

"There’s nothing for you to worry about, Sir Terrace. Just leave yourself to the pleasure I provide."

Sssssk─

Before he knew it, Natalia had approached his side and whispered.

"I am merely a tool, here for Sir Terrace’s pleasure."

Sssssk─

As she finished speaking, Natalia knelt on the floor, burying her face in Terrace’s groin.

"Hmph… Such a strong scent. Well then, if you’ll excuse me."

"Ah… Ah!"

How did things end up like this?

Even in this incomprehensible, terrifying situation, Terrace cursed his own twisted desires as he felt himself getting aroused.

Sssk─

"Hmm… Well… It’s smaller than I expected."

"…W-What… did you say?"

"Oh, pardon me. It’s just that I’ve never seen one this small before. But don’t worry, I quite enjoy tormenting small ones like this."

With that, Natalia brushed her hair behind her ears and immediately took Terrace’s glans into her mouth.

"Hngh…!!"

The overwhelming sensation Terrace felt from the first experience of this kind almost took his breath away.

The family of the Three Primary Colors.

The second son of the Bluetulip family.

A man born into a position where he could have countless women if he wanted…

Just as Valentine had never been with a man other than Terrace, Terrace had never been with a woman other than Valentine.

And with his first and last love, Valentine, he never even dared to ask for anything other than the missionary position.

"Hngk…!"

"Slurp… Hah… For someone who looks so dignified, you make such adorable sounds, Sir Terrace."

Natalia’s split tongue licked in opposite directions, applying a technique that was beyond what an inexperienced Terrace could handle.

"Hah… Hngh!… No!… Stop!… Stop it…!"

Squeeze—!

But just as Terrace, gathering all the willpower he had left, tried to resist in his desperation to save Valentine…

"Hngh!!"

A wave of sharp pain shot up from his lower body.

Natalia had gripped his testicles tightly.

"Y-You… W-What… the hell… ngh… is this…?"

"With all due respect, in my experience, men with smaller members like yours tend to enjoy this kind of treatment even more. What do you think? Are you enjoying it?"

This time, a clear smirk appeared on Natalia’s lips.

"Ngh…!!"

In any other situation, Terrace might have yelled and thrown her out immediately…

But the smirk on Natalia’s face and the pain in his groin filled Terrace with a chilling, inexplicable excitement.

"Hng!!… Why… are you… doing this…?!"

Terrace’s voice trembled as he asked, realizing that Natalia seemed to know his body better than he did himself.

"No, Sir Terrace. What you should be looking at right now isn’t me. Now, it’s time for the main event."

"W-What are you talking about?"

Natalia’s hand touched Terrace’s chin.

"You need to watch closely as your beloved wife is violated because of your twisted desires."

Sssssk─

At that moment, Ian, who had already removed his pants, revealed his member.

"T-That…"

"Wow! It’s so much bigger than Sir Terrace’s. I’ve been with many men, but I’ve never seen one like that. Once she experiences something like that, she’ll never be able to return to you."

Natalia was right.

The overwhelming difference in size between Ian and Terrace was a clear sign of dominance.

「Spread your legs.」

「Hngh..!♥ Ngh…♥ T-Terrace!… Help me…

Valentine seemed to sense it too.

Even as tears flowed from her eyes, she slowly spread her legs, unable to resist Ian’s ’command.’

"…Stop!! Stop this! How dare you…!! Now!! Remove… your hands… I-I need to save Valentine…"

"Haha! Save her? Wasn’t it Sir Terrace who put Princess Valentine in this situation to begin with? If you hadn’t requested this, she would have loved only you for the rest of her life."

"I… I… Ngh… Yes… It’s my fault… But… please… take your hands off her…! I… I don’t want to lose Valentine!!"

Even as Terrace wept, desperately begging, his pleas never reached Ian beyond the mirror.

"Hahaha! Sir Terrace!! Hahaha!"

With a burst of laughter, Natalia whispered gently into Terrace’s ear.

"Don’t you understand yet? Ever since I first gripped your balls, I haven’t applied any real pressure. The fact that you didn’t try to escape means you wanted to watch this happen."

"…What?"

Natalia’s words hit the mark, and Terrace had no response.

「────■■■

Terrace could do nothing but watch as his beloved wife was violated by another man.
