The two stared at each other after Rimuru's declaration as silenced ensued.
And continued.
And still continued.
Before finally, Hinata responded with "Huh?"
Rimuru, taking this question very literally, repeated himself. "I said that I want to-"
"No, no, no. I heard you the first time. What I mean is what brought this up? I mean, for the longest time, you were always so hesitant to have children and always said that you couldn't for various reasons. What… what… changed?"
Rimuru sighed, looked down, then back at Hinata. "I… can't really tell you. It's more of something that I've always wanted, and something that I used to convince myself was never the right time. First it was the Tenma War, then it was rebuilding, then it was various enemy groups. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I've been waiting for the right time, and now that I don't have anywhere near as much to do, I've come to the realization that there never will even be a right time. Or rather, the right time is whenever we choose."
Another moment passed, though this time far more brief. Then, almost immediately after, she started chuckling. It wasn't that she was making fun of him, or anything of that sort. It was quite the opposite. A wave of emotions seemed to wash over her, and though she tried to contain it, light laughter seemed to be cracking through.
"I'm sorry it's just… I'm obviously happy, but it just feels sudden. I don't mean to discourage you, but what about the others? And if we have a kid here, our child at birth will be stronger than anything this country has to offer. Maybe even the world. How do you plan on raising someone like that? And besides, at the very least, I would want our child to be around the others"
Contrary to what seemed like an extremely uncharacteristic impulsiveness taking hold of Rimuru, he actually did have an idea of how to raise his child here. And for her other concern, he elaborated, "For our child here, with the help of Ciel, I can place a seal on them so that their magic won't run wild and will be on par or slightly stronger than the average soldier, and we can always go back to Tempest whenever we want. I also want our kid to meet with the others as much as possible, so I was thinking about twice or three times a week. After that, we can play it by ear. As for the other point you brought up, I… sort of already took care of that."
While she was quite happy with the response, she was quick to take note of his last few words. "Took care…?" Though she was initially confused, it took very little time for her to catch on. "Wait. Don't tell me you've already gotten the rest of the harem pregnant."
Rimuru gave a sheepish reply. "Well… not everyone. Milim didn't want one yet, and I think that's for the best right now. Kumara also refused on the basis that she believes she isn't ready to be a mother yet. Ciel also refused, though she has her reasons, and Luminous, Carrera, Ultima, or Testa haven't for obvious reasons. But everyone else so far is."
Hinata looked at him with her mouth slightly agape before saying, "How long in-between? Like when did this all happen? And why wasn't I told beforehand?"
Again, he replied somehow more sheepish than before, "It happened… four days ago…"
This time, she didn't even attempt to hide her emotions, instead letting them all show on her face. The resulting look was one of astonishment, exasperation, and finally, acceptance.
Just when I think this idiot is done surprising me, he goes and gets four women pregnant in a day.
Finally, she sighed, ran her fingers through her hair, and said, "Well, if you've already thought this out, then of course I'll be happy to bear your child. I do want to know why Ciel refused, though I imagine she'll tell me in her own time."
Rimuru grinned widely and nodded in response. Afterwards, silence again took hold of the space. However, unlike last time, Hinata was now genuinely confused as to what else he wanted from her.
Again, it didn't take long for her to figure it out. "Wait, right now?"
Him moving forward to seal her lips was more than enough of an answer. And for her, though she wasn't really in the mood at that moment, it took very little for her switch to be turned on.
"Mmm… wait, it's still… midday… mmm… and I… I have those brats… mmm… to train."
Rimuru moved down slightly to kiss her neck, and in between kisses, said "So… you want to stop?"
"Oh, fuck you. You already know the answer to that."
Smiling coyly, he raised his head and gave a good look at Hinata before sealing her lips. However, while it started out tame, it quickly got more passionate, and it wasn't long before their hands were reaching all over their bodies. The sweet and giddy feeling that Hinata always felt whenever she made out with Rimuru seemed to amplify this time, and she was about to find out why.
Rolling them over, and then sitting up so that Hinata was seated atop him, he firmly grabbed her ass, getting a moan out of her, and then a soft yelp when he quickly stood up and picked her up in the process. Their faces were still meshed together, and it looked more like they were trying to somehow win a contest rather than a passionate make-out session, especially with how tight she was grasping his hair and back.
Right then, one of Rimuru's hands darted up and, in one quick motion, dug the nails into her clothes and tore the fabric off, exposing her soft, slightly tanned flesh and the back of the lacy black bra she was wearing. This act got her to pull away from him as a shiver went down her spine.
If he's being this aggressive right off the bat…
While a smidgen of concern entered her mind, the overwhelming torrent of lust was quick to shove it out of her mind. She looked directly into his eyes, and with her mouth slightly spread open in a wide grin, she seductively licked her upper lip, and her focus was now completely different.
"I'm not going to go down easy. If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get."
Rimuru looked at her with an almost irritatingly cocky smile. "We'll see about that."
Still holding onto her, he resumed kissing her and walked to the wall of the room. It was then when she completely froze, as instead of what she should have felt, which was the wall, it instead felt very human.
Breaking the kiss, she hesitantly turned around to see another Rimuru pressed up against her back. This time, the concern that was pressed out of her mind came barreling back in full force, and the lust that was overpowering her fought back, creating a whirling conflict of emotions in her.
However, none of this stopped her from asking, "Oi, oi, isn't this a bit much?!"
The Rimuru behind her reached around and slid one of his hands down her pants, circling the damp spot she made on her underwear, causing her to shiver. Meanwhile, the one in front made a poor effort at feigning a concerned look and said, "No? I think that it'll be quite fun."
Just as she was about to respond, the Rimuru behind her leaned into her ear and whispered, "Or are you scared?"
Perhaps the most annoying thing about knowing someone as intimately as the two knew each other was that very little was left as an unknown. This also meant that he knew exactly how to egg her on, and she knew that just about every time, she would always bite. And the way he almost always did that was by taking a jab at her pride.
Me?! Scared of this idiot?! Not even in my fucking dreams!
Trusting that he or Ciel would stop if they ever got out of control, but mainly so that she wouldn't prove him right, she looked at the Rimuru who was in front holding her, put on as menacing a smile as she could, and said, "Do your worst."
Looking back at this moment, she probably would have chosen different words, such as "don't be too hard," or "start off gentle." Unfortunately, what was said was said, and he planned to not only meet, but completely exceed those expectations.
After her words, the Rimuru behind her took his hand out of her pants, reached under her leg, and tore a hole through the fabric from her pelvis to the small of her back, exposing both of her holes. The first Rimuru magically dissipated his clothes, exposing his erection, and took the opportunity to lift her legs so that her knees were level with her ample breasts, providing a better angle. Then, he quickly positioned himself and entered her, familiarizing himself with her walls and sending pleasure throughout both of their bodies. Both of them felt immediate pleasure as his member created a minor, but visible bump in her stomach, and Hinata tried to suppress her voice by clenching her teeth.
The second Rimuru, now with one of his hands on her ass to help support her, was tearing off other bits and pieces of her clothing until only bits and pieces were left, leaving her in literal rags. Right after, he licked two of his fingers, slid them down her back, and put it into her ass, causing her to clench all around them.
This only caused her to be more irritated, and she said through clenched teeth, "Stop teasing me and fuck me already!"
Though the first Rimuru was already technically having sex with her, it was very slow, mainly to allow his counterpart enough time to get ready for his own fun. However, to him, a command was a command from his women, and this time was certainly no different.
With an almost devilish smile, he purred, "If you insist."
Almost immediately after, the second Rimuru took his fingers out of her ass, though not without properly lubing it up, and rammed his member up her ass to the hilt, causing her façade to almost break by letting out a silent gasp. While they had certainly tried rough sex and anal beforehand, she was certainly not prepared for what happened next.
Right off the bat, both Rimurus set a ruthless pace, and Hinata was doing whatever she could not to just give in to the pleasure. Desperately hoping to somehow coax an orgasm out of at least one of the Rimurus, she was clawing at his back, biting his shoulder, and tightening up her lower body as much as she could. However, this was immensely difficult as their combined assault was not synchronized, meaning that the anticipation of every thrust was only increasing her pleasure.
The two Rimurus on the other hand were deeply enjoying themselves, and it didn't take long for their efforts to start showing, as not even two minutes in, the poor woman was already starting to loosen her grip on his back, and both her vaginal and anal walls started to convulse to make way for a leg-shaking orgasm.
They held their positions inside of her to feel each contraction of her orgasm, and once she was done, the first Rimuru said, "Hope you're ready for plenty more."
Deciding to add fuel to the fire, the second Rimuru added, "Ooh, I think she likes that. I felt her ass clench around me."
The first Rimuru chuckled at the second's quip, and he said in a seductive voice, "Let's see how many more we can get out of you."
Punctuating his words by resuming his pace, the two were enjoying the woman in the middle, but the second Rimuru had a devious thought pop up in his head, and voiced it by whispering in her ear, "Oh, let's not hide those beautiful moans of yours."
Hinata was currently trying her best to tune out the tsunami of pleasure being directed solely at her, and therefore didn't completely hear what the second Rimuru had to say. However, she certainly felt what he did next, and loud, muffled moans escaped her lips as he circled her clit and enveloped it by transforming his finger into his natural slime form, coaxing the small yet sensitive bean into giving her another powerful orgasm.
By the time her second orgasm finished, the five-minute mark had barely been reached, and the two Rimurus slowed their pace, allowing Hinata to gather her bearings between both her deep breaths and the thrusts that jolted her every time they went in. After a few more moments, she raised her head to reveal spittle covering her chin, along with sweat all over her face, causing some of her hair to stick. However, both her clenched teeth and her eyes signaled a fierce demeanor, and Rimuru knew exactly what that look meant.
Two simple words that she didn't have to voice.
Break me.
The two Rimurus pulled out so that they could reposition Hinata, so her feet were on the floor, and the first Rimuru then teleported them on top of the bed. After this, the second Rimuru slightly raised her ass up for a better angle, and the two began thrusting into her once again, one on top of her and the other below her.
The sound of flesh on flesh mixed nicely with their grunts and moans, and the bed strained and creaked against the power of the two Rimurus fucking her. The mixed smell of sex and sweat was so pungent and heavy that it almost felt like they had created a cloud of it.
"God! Fucking harder!"
Hinata was saying whatever came to mind between her sonorous moans, and the second Rimuru was slapping her ass to the point of red handprints being engraved on it. The first Rimuru was also not letting up in the slightest, putting one hand around her neck to lightly choke her while using the other to slap her breasts.
Every single thrust they did sent ripples through her cheeks, and after what seemed like an eternity to Hinata, but in reality, was only ten minutes, she could feel one of the two Rimurus coming close to climax. Though she couldn't tell which one, as most of her focus was on trying to bear the pleasure, the erratic movements and the grunts becoming louder were a usual giveaway for him.
However, as the second Rimuru was coming close, he growled, "No, no, no. We're doing this one together."
Grabbing a fistful of hair from the back of her head, he jerked her up to him, arching her back, and stole her lips for himself. Meanwhile, the first Rimuru was sending little shocks throughout all her erogenous zones, and her eyes started to tear up as her vision began blackening. Finally, her third climax surged forth, and along with it, felt hot liquid gushing into both her womb and her ass. This one felt like she was experiencing an exorcism, as her entire body began quivering and convulsing.
"Holy shit, that was amazing. Oi, let her go. We've still got plenty more to go."
Though the second Rimuru pouted at the first's words, he complied and broke off the kiss. The result, however, was something they both felt a tinge of guilt about. With nothing to support her, Hinata collapsed down onto the first Rimuru, and was silently crying as a way to deal with the overwhelming torrent of euphoria that she was going through. Therefore, even though he might not hear the end of it, the two of them decided to give her a break, and slowly pull out, letting the semen seep from her holes.
After a couple more minutes of her getting a good cry in, her breathing started to steady, and she took an extra moment to process what just happened to her. After a bit more time passed, she stared at the ceiling and said, "I don't know how the hell Shuna does it."
Rimuru, now merged back into one, chuckled as he hugged her a bit tighter and said, "I honestly have no idea either. She just kind of lets herself go and we can go at it for almost forty-five minutes straight. I'm starting to believe that she either has a skill that lets her do that or is simply built different."
A couple more moments pass, and she asks, "Has she ever taken three of you? Like at the same time?"
Rimuru thought about it. "Technically… yes? But we were going slow that time. She was having a particularly stressful day, and since it was her night, I wanted to do everything I could so that she could enjoy it. If you're talking about the rough sex we had just now, then no."
Hinata hummed in response, and the two of them lied on the bed in silence for the next couple minutes. However, while Rimuru thought that she may have been done for the afternoon, or just wanting to nap, her actual thoughts were very… Hinata-like.
Let's see… I can get bragging rights if I take three of him like I did just now. But I'd probably have to deal with withdraw symptoms afterwards.
Eventually, she made her decision, and to Rimuru's shock, said "Do me with three of you. And I want it even rougher than before."
Instead of complying, or even entertaining the idea, he instead looked at her like a crazy person. "Are you sane? You could barely last ten minutes with two of me. I'm honestly scared to see what three could do."
"Okay, firstly, you called it after ten minutes, not me. Secondly, did I fucking stutter?"
He scoffed at her bravado. "You know what? Okay. Move your legs, and then we'll talk."
Hinata, however, felt that was the stupidest requirement ever. Raising her left leg so that it was pointing towards the ceiling, she chided, "You really think you're hot shit, huh? Just because you can change the size of your dick and give women orgasms? Actually, you know what? Make your dick twenty centimeters. Hell, twenty-five, even. Won't change anything."
"Alright, listen, lady. If you know what's best, you'll-"
"I'll what?" She interrupted. "I'll shut up? You know, if you really want me to, there's a good way you can do that."
Rimuru just looked at her for a few seconds. And then a few more. And then he made up his mind.
{You know, there's foolishness, and then there's… whatever the hell you were thinking.}
"I know, I know. It was stupid. I just acted in the moment."
{I don't know if a moment exists where anyone can act that stupid.}
Hinata heaved a deep breath, causing the slime version of Rimuru that was on her stomach to rise with her, and then exhaled. She was currently in Rimuru's Imaginary Space created by his skill and was talking to Ciel. Or rather, she was having her rationality be put into question by the manas.
While she wanted nothing more than to verbally spar with her, Hinata was in absolutely no position to do so. In fact, she just woke up from a however long sleep, and she genuinely felt that it required less effort to fight against Michael's forces than it did to move even a muscle in her legs.
She didn't even know how in the hell she got into his imaginary space, as she only remembered the first eight minutes of their sexual ordeal, and the last three minutes were hazy at best. Afterwards, she had no idea what happened.
Apparently reading her mind, or most likely her expression, Ciel asked, {I take it that you want to know what happened?}
"Do I even want to know?"
{Maybe, maybe not. Either way I was going to show it to you. Though I'm quite certain that you'll never do this again after seeing it. Master really is a beast when pushed.}
Putting a projection on with an incredibly clear resolution, not only did Hinata see what happened, but courtesy of Ciel, the video changed angles every thirty seconds to two minutes, and it was complete with a timer and timestamps.
{I must say, you two put on an amazing performance. There were multiple times where I was tempted to join in and relieve you of your predicament, but it almost felt wrong interrupting master when he was like this. As you can see, there are multiple timestamps throughout the video, and feel free to watch this in your own time, but there are three specific ones that are my personal favorite.}
Fast forwarding the video, Ciel stopped at the first timestamp. {As you can see here, you are blindfolded and have a collar on you, and… well it's best if you just watch it.}
Playing the video at the nineteen-minute mark, Hinata saw herself completely naked, save for the accessories that Ciel mentioned, and was sitting up as two Rimurus were violating her holes with their members. The third was standing over her, apparently taking advantage of the fact that as a spiritual being, she doesn't need to breath, and had her head shoved to the hilt of his girth, causing a sizeable bulge in her throat. One of the Rimurus that was fucking her was using a leash to pull her collar, essentially creating extra pressure for the one that had his length down her throat. Though it was hard to tell with just the video alone, Hinata guessed that he increased his size to 20cm.
However, the most surprising thing about this whole ordeal was the fact that she seemed to seriously enjoy it, considering that her hands were wrapped around his thighs. Of course, if she wasn't enjoying it, there was no way Rimuru or Ciel would allow it to continue.
Eventually, the angle shifted to a shot where it was panned upwards so that you could see her breasts jiggling up and down while spit dripped down onto what seemed like the lens. Quickly afterwards, her mouth and throat got more bloated, from what she assumed was him cumming, and the collar broke from the strain. After he pulled out, she hacked and coughed up a bunch of his seed, but still had enough to swallow in a big gulp.
The second scene Ciel showed was them now in the Imaginary Space three hours in, and Rimuru using his racial traits far more, with one of him making his fingers into extra-long, slimy appendages that were going into her facial orifices, save for her eyes, while the other two Rimurus were still gouging her insides out. This time, however, she looked completely taken by the ecstasy, her pupils periodically rolling in and out of their sockets.
The third and final scene that Ciel showed was near the nine-hour mark, and seemed very close to, if not right at the end, and had Hinata completely bathed in what seemed like an extra large Rimuru. It looked like one of those anti-gravity chambers, except again, the angle showed her completely naked, and at an almost transcendent level of bliss. Her back was slightly arched as her hands, feet, and head were slightly curving down.
Hinata honestly hated that she didn't remember this part, as Rimuru's 'slime baths,' while quite unconventional and, well, just weird at first, are something that she feels is to kill for. The main reason being is that, for some reason, Rimuru is quite a bit self-conscious of this particular luxury, and therefore it doesn't happen anywhere near as often as it should.
Well, there's also the fact that if anyone of us is in there for too long, our bodies could simply stop working thanks to the relaxation, and we could die. But it's worth it!
{Well, as you can see, you took three of him on by yourself for eight hours, which is a record and a half. The last hour was dedicated to the slime bath. At the very least, you can say you've earned bragging rights. At least until someone like Luminous or the devil trio try to outdo you.}
Hinata's genuine thoughts after hearing that were if someone was able to last longer, then were more than welcome to take the title of 'longest time with three Rimurus.' Regardless, there were a few questions that she wanted answers to, and as long as Ciel was here, she intended to get them.
"How long have I been here?"
{If you're talking about simply resting, three days. If you're talking about the time spent since you got here, three days and six hours.}
She groaned at this. If Rimuru could pleasure her out of commission for three whole days… she was extremely thankful that she was brought to the Imaginary Space, as time simply didn't exist here. As long as there was an anchor to wherever they wanted to go, they could simply use that anchor to go there, and currently, at least as far as she knew, that anchor existed in the form of Testa.
After she was done lamenting, she looked down, and through much more effort than she would ever admit, brought her hand a little above her navel, and right above where Rimuru was resting. Rubbing that spot in circles for a few seconds, she asked, "Am I… pregnant?"
{Indeed. With the amount of sperm that master shot into you, I would be more surprised if you weren't, especially considering that you were ovulating this week. In nine months, or I guess eight-and-a-half if we are going by this world's standards, you will give birth to a healthy baby.}
Hinata simply smiled at this news. She imagined that she would have a more emotional reaction if she wasn't simply beyond tired, but that response may come at a later date. Again, she basked in the good news for the better part of two minutes before looking at the resting Rimuru and asking, "When will he wake up?"
{Technically, master only rested for a day. Afterwards, he went back to the castle and resumed teaching. He left a copy of himself here for when you wake up, though I imagine since he put himself in 'sleep mode,' he won't wake up until his time or unless one of us wakes him.}
Honestly, such a worrywart.
Hinata breathed another hefty sigh, smiled, and then simply resumed looking up at the changing views that colored the space now that her impromptu porno was gone. The current one was a side project that Rimuru was working on, which was the creation of a new planet, and the view was one of twin mountains that had glowing peaks amongst a moonlit backdrop.
Admiring the view until it changed about ten minutes later, she focused her attention back on Rimuru before remembering something she wanted to ask. Though it may be seen as a somewhat personal question, she still wanted to ask it.
Turning her head to Ciel, she asked, "I heard from Rimuru that you don't want kids. Why?"
Ciel would be lying if she said she wasn't expecting a question like that, but with Hinata's bluntness, it still stung a little.
{It's… it's a complicated reason.}
"Well, it's only complicated for you because you rationalize damn near everything. Who knows? I might be able to help you."
Ciel thought about it for a moment, sighed, and then said, {Basically, my dilemma is that if I have kids, then who do I prioritize? I was solely designed to serve master. To be of use to master. To do whatever is necessary for master. That is my entire purpose, and to serve another is…}
Ciel shuddered at the thought of such a horrendous act. A manas serving another, of its own volition, is immediate grounds for termination in her eyes. In her eyes, serving another, even if its Rimuru's own child, just feels… wrong. That's not to say that she won't help them develop a skill, possibly even a manas of their own, but she would never serve them.
"Well, no one said that you have to serve anyone else. Having a kid is such a beautiful thing-"
{You're not understanding. I exist for master and master alone. This also means that I am responsible for his safety. Should it come to it, I will not hesitate to kill anyone who threatens him and has the power to back it up. It doesn't matter who they are, whether they be his enemies, his allies, his wives, or even his children. To me, master will always come first.}
Hinata processed her statement, and to be honest, it was a powerful one, albeit skewed. While she knew that there was pretty much no convincing someone like Ciel, she still had one last card to play. "Well, yes. You may think that now. But I think you're forgetting something."
{Oh? Please tell me.}
She chuckled. "You're making the mistake that so many others have, including myself, which is underestimating this idiot. I'm sure that somewhere in that logical brain of yours, all roads lead to him doing something, or a bunch of small somethings, that are completely beyond reason, and sooner or later, he is going to put a baby in that belly of yours."
{I know master better than anyone-}
"He is going to fill that womb of yours with as many creampies as it takes until you get pregnant, and unless you can come up with a better reason than that, there is nothing you can do about it."
{… We already have kids with-}
"I think we both know that even though your human self has kids with Satoru, it isn't enough for Rimuru. You know better than anyone that once he sets his mind to something, nothing stands in his way. Or I suppose in your case," she added with a mischievous smile, "bends over in his way."
With Ciel not having any clear rebuttal, Hinata added in a sing-song voice, "It's only a matter of time~."
Since Ciel didn't want to be subject to her teasing anymore, and touching Rimuru's wives was off-limits except for extreme circumstances, she saved whatever dignity she had left by leaving, but not before saying, {Call me when master wakes up.}
Hinata had her last laugh and said, "I wonder what their kid is going to look like."
After finishing laughing, it appeared now was the time when her muscles started to send signals to her brain, and this was in the form of both extreme muscle fatigue and soreness.
"Fuck, that hurts."
