The Dark Rebirth of Pandora: Revenge of the Abyss
Chapter 440: Delphina and Her Maids
"Okay, maids... I know this request is unusual... but I need your h-h-h-h-help." My voice cracks on the word "help." It's so difficult to ask for help; I've never asked for it before, I've only ever given orders.
"Delphina-sama, what do you need?" The several maids bowing before me ask in perfect unison, exactly as they were trained to do.
"I..." I think about how to say this. They know about my relationship with Pandora, since that spread like wildfire, but it's somewhat embarrassing for me, a goddess, to talk about the physical intimacy I have with the girl I love.
"I-I..." My brain seems to fry, but I have to ask. I need to know how far I can go to punish Pandora without making her hate me.
"I want to punish Pandora... I told her that her next child should be mine, and yet she had this one with another girl... s-so I thought a good punishment would be for me to impregnate Pandora..."
"L-Like, when she's off guard, I'd kidnap her and then I'd be on t-top during the... relation... but I saw some problems with that... if I kidnap her, then having sex with her is the same as rape, isn't it?"
"Would she hate me for it? A-and also... e-even if she liked the initiative... how do I stay on top? I-I can't last very long... she'd quickly reverse our positions, and then she would be the one to impregnate me, and that's not fair because she's the one who should be punished." I speak, my face completely red from revealing so much of my private life.
"..." They all just stare at me in silence, some of them blushing as the topic rapidly became very spicy.
"Say something or I'll cut your heads off," I threaten coldly.
"Delphina-sama... may we be honest?" one of them asks, raising her hand. They look afraid of saying too much and me ending up killing them, which is quite likely to happen, actually.
"Of course! I don't need a lying answer." If they were going to lie, I wouldn't have asked in the first place.
"..." They glance at each other. Some are sweating from nervousness, while others bite their lips, not saying a word.
"Delphina-sama, do you even know what rape is?" one of them, a maid who has worked here for a long time, asks, making me turn red with anger.
"Of course I know! It's forcing someone into the act! The books explained it perfectly!" I say with conviction.
"..." They exchange glances again.
"Delphina-sama, that is one part of it, but it's not just that, you know? It's the lack of consent in general situations... a-and so... I heard that your first time was in the bathtub and you still didn't know what you were doing... that also kind of... counts as..." she says as I stand there shocked.
"What?! Of course not!..."
"Besides, Delphina-sama, you are... kind of too old for such a young girl... so... what I mean is, your relationship never really had those kinds of rules, did it?" she says, leaving me even more shocked.
'Pandora is very young...' I blush with shame from all this nonsense I'm hearing.
"Are you saying the two of us did something wrong?!!" I become furious at their insinuation that Pandora raped me, and that I'm too old to even be with Pandora.
'Should I just cut them in half right now?' I prepare to tear these stupid whores apart for trying to reduce my love and Pandora's love to something ugly.
"N-No!!! Delphina-sama, we're not saying it's wrong! It's the opposite! We're just pointing out that the two of you are goddesses, so those rules don't apply, right? After all, you are both beyond mortals, so why would you follow the same rules as them?" When she says that, I finally understand.
"Oh..."
"That's true..." I had completely forgotten that Pandora is also a goddess, and we goddesses have a different set of rules from mortals.
"H-Hahaha, how foolish of me..." It was foolish to think Pandora would be sad or hate me if I kidnapped her. I had been reading so many relationship books that I forgot what truly mattered.
Pandora is a monster in the most literal sense of the word. For Pandora, there is no "rape" or anything like it; because she is a monster, all that matters is who is stronger.
'If I kidnap her, Pandora would actually be happy because it's a proof of love... but she would still try to reverse our positions...' I realize now that my fear was stupid and unfounded.
"M-Maids, I ask that you stop bringing me romance books... I've realized they aren't helping... Pandora still treats me as too innocent, and I just failed to grasp the most obvious thing of all... It seems you can't learn about love from mortal books," I say, somewhat disappointed.
Where can I learn about love now? Everything I do that is loving or sexual doesn't affect Pandora because she's a pervert of a higher degree.
"Delphina-sama, what exactly is the problem?" another maid asks as I'm thinking.
"When Pandora and I are intimate... she always ends up on top... she only pretends to let me be on top, but the moment I weaken, she takes the reins again... all because I'm too sensitive." I had never experienced pleasure before.
So now, so long after my creation, I'm experiencing it, and because of that, I'm far too sensitive.
"Besides, my revenge is that I want to impregnate Pandora! Because I know she is the one who wants to impregnate girls, not be impregnated! However, I also know that Pandora only gets pregnant if she wants to!"
"And that is so unfair! No matter how much sex we have, if Pandora doesn't want it, her body will simply prevent the pregnancy! And that's not fair to me!"
"Hmmm." All the maids tilt their heads at the same time, thinking.
"What if you just reduced Pandora's advantages?" a maid in the back suggests, raising her hand and shaking it in the air. Everyone looks at her, and soon they seem to have a collective contemplation, with uncontrolled murmurs breaking out.
"H-Hey! Explain! Don't just keep the idea to yourselves!" I say impatiently. I want a way to not lose to Pandora, now that I've realized that even if I kidnap her, she will still love me. I see that I just need to figure out how to not let Pandora end up on top.
"Delphina-sama, if you somehow reduce Pandora's advantages, naturally she'll become more sensitive than you and will be able to endure much less sex! With that, you just need to outlast her!" one of them says with a smile.
"We can also make several potions to help Delphina-sama!! I was an alchemist before becoming a maid!" another quickly adds, giving another good idea.
'This... might work...' Pandora's greatest advantage isn't her status, but the ridiculously high resilience and adaptability of her race.
It doesn't matter how many days or months she spends having sex; she doesn't get tired or slow her pace. And although I can last longer than her, because I'm so sensitive, I end up losing just a few hours after we start.
"Okay! These are all good ideas... I just need to block any means of Pandora using her body's resistances, right? The potion idea is also great..."
"Alright, maids, I'll use your ideas. Does anyone else have any good ideas?" I ask, now genuinely liking this conversation.
"Delphina-sama, why not train without potions? You could use sex toys to train your resistance until the day you decide to put your plan into practice! We can order toys from outside!" another one comes up with an idea I never thought of.
'That seems rather lewd... but if it means I can be on top at least once, I'm willing to try!'
"Great, I'll do that too. So we have three usable ideas so far. Anything else?" I ask, now 100% open to any idea.
"Delphina-sama, how does Pandora always end up on top of you?" one of them asks, generating a wave of curiosity.
"W-Well..." I feel a bit shy talking about this since it's very intimate, but the desire to be able to beat Pandora just once overcomes the shame.
"Normally she uses mana for that... she blocks my orgasms until I collapse... a-and besides that, she's just very good at everything... when she touches me it feels like a dream, and her mouth is so wonderful..."
"A-And a-also, she can play with my entire body as if she knows every weak spot..." I say, embarrassed.
"Delphina-sama, why not just take away her magic, then?" one of them says something super simple and easy.
"W-What?"
"Like... if she uses magic, then why not take her magic away? You know how to do that, and she's much weaker than you." When she says that, I realize how foolish and naive I've been throughout my entire relationship with Pandora.
'Why did I never think of that?... It's so easy... and it would solve one of the problems...'
"W-Well, but there's also her body! A-And it's so tempting! And when I'm inside her, I can't control myself anymore; her body is divine!" I say hurriedly, looking at all of them. This is something I can't overcome.
"Besides, she can take me entirely inside her!" With the biology I studied to learn about reproduction, I saw that it's very difficult for a girl to take me entirely inside her.
Because each of my penises is 30 centimeters long and extremely hard, so most girls would just get seriously hurt, since bending or curving my penis is extremely difficult.
Combining that with my absurdly high status makes my two penises lethal weapons for most girls, who would die if I shoved them completely inside, since they would tear all the way up.
"..." They all seem to think about what to say, but no one finds an answer. After all, it's Pandora's body, and that can't be changed.
"Well, maids, for now let's focus on the ideas we have... besides... th-th-th-thank you for helping me with my relationship..."
"I-I'm not good at this, and I'm learning," I say, embarrassed, gripping my clothes tightly from the shame.
"We are here for you, Delphina-sama!!"
"Everything will work out, you can be sure!!"
"You will definitely get what you want!!" They start speaking words of support.
'Maybe... I should stop killing them for every little thing...' I decide to be a bit more lenient. I'll stop killing them for just making footstep sounds near me or for dropping small objects on the floor.
