Chapter 105

“Why are Emily and Mary…?”

Seeing the two of them enter as new guards, I froze in place.

In Mary’s case, when our eyes met, she waved shyly with a blank face, cheeks turning red.

Emily, on the other hand, smirked hungrily like she was eyeing prey when our gazes crossed.

“…Thinking about it now, getting help from the guards might make escaping easier.”

I naturally assumed both of them would enter here as prisoners, just like Raphne and me.

I really underestimated the situation.

Forget about getting close to Diana; if we don’t escape, nothing matters.

In the meantime, if all four of them are prisoners, the difficulty of escaping would be high, but with Adrian’s strength to put two of them on the guard side, the difficulty would drop dramatically.

Adrian’s choice made perfect sense.

However…

“…For some reason, Emily’s gaze feels unsettling.”

Adding to that, since I had turned into a woman, my heart was more fragile.

Facing her was like being a little mouse in front of a snake, making my body stiffen and a chill creep down my spine.

And my unease came to a head shortly after the roll call was finished.

“Prisoner number 2508. It’s time for an interview; step out.”

“An, interview? So suddenly?”

“Yeah, they want to hear about what happened yesterday from Miss Emily and Miss Mary. Come with me.”

“…I, I suddenly have a stomachache.”

“Should I make it really hurt?”

“No, I just went!”

It seemed Adrian used his power to arrange Emily and Mary as guards with a pretty decent level of credentials on paper.

Thanks to that, the female guard who had given me candy treated both of them with respect, treating them equally.

“Why is there an interview too…?”

It seemed like Adrian’s influence had given Emily and Mary some leverage through the prison warden.

Isn’t he giving too much convenience just because they’re his friends?

Raphne and I got treated like prisoners, though.

If that’s the case, why not just put all four in as guards? That thought floated in my mind.

“Ken…!”

“It’s okay, Raphne. It’s just an interview. Plus… it’s two of them.”

“…Mm.”

Raphne, worried about me, sat down quietly on the bed.

She looked somewhat dissatisfied, but it seemed she wouldn’t throw a fit like in the shower.

I followed the guard to the interview room, my heart racing with tension.

The old metal door creaked open.

Inside were three sleek metal desks and chairs.

And sitting side by side were two women, looking this way.

“Thank you, Lethil. I really wanted to see the troublemaker who caused such a scene yesterday.”

“No problem at all. If you need anything else, just let me know.”

I was curious how much Adrian’s influence had played a role. The guard called Lethil treated Emily with great respect.

Emily waved her hand as if she were used to such treatment.

Watching her, I felt my anxiety heighten, and I swallowed hard.

Creeeak… thud.

Soon, the guard named Lethil left, and the interview room was left with just me and the two guards.

“Ken!”

“Thank goodness, you seem okay.”

Once Lethil left, the two of them immediately hugged me.

One on each arm.

Having my lovely fiancées wrapped around me finally eased my pent-up tension, allowing me to smile naturally.

“I’m so glad. You weren’t trying to torture me.”

“Torture you? Me?”

“No, more than Mary…”

As I glanced awkwardly at Emily, our eyes met, and she tilted her head, grinning like a cat.

“Hehe, what’s this, Ken? Were you maybe looking forward to this a bit?”

She then blushed and gently tickled my neck.

“Yikes!”

“Uhuh, even plump Ken was cute, but now Ken, turned into a girl, is somehow fun because you’re shy.”

“Emily. No matter what, I can’t let you hurt Ken.”

Mary shot daggers at Emily in response to her meaningful comment as I shook with fear.

Then Emily playfully smiled and patted Mary’s shoulder.

“Come on, of course, I’m not serious. This is just my and Ken’s little act of affection. Hey, Mary, you sometimes sit on Ken’s lap and cuddle too. It’s the same thing.”

“Is that so?”

Mary, with her previously fiery gaze, looked up at me innocently and wondered.

I had no choice but to nod reluctantly at Emily’s nudges in my side.

Now even Mary couldn’t protect me…

Had it been before, Mary would have defended me from Emily’s antics, but unfortunately, Emily is my lover now.

What she does is simply her acts of affection as she puts it.

Since I had made up my mind to marry three women, I had the obligation to indulge her peculiar desires.

With that thought, I nodded, sweat running down my back.

“Well then, I guess it’s fine.”

“Hehe, did you hear that, Ken? We’ll have a good time later. I really want to try being a guard.”

“I didn’t want to be a prisoner at all.”

“Oh, are you whining in front of me now?”

“I’m sorry…”

Emily, who seems to enjoy my new girly form even more, caressed my cheeks and smiled alluringly.

Somehow, my heart fluttered, but I also felt a chill.

“So, you need a chance to get close to that Diana person, right?”

After that, I entered into a meeting disguised as an interview with the two of them.

Fortunately, with Mary and Emily becoming guards, it seemed like things would become a lot easier for me here.

From what I had seen in American prison escape dramas, the biggest hurdle in prison breaks was always the intervention of the guards.

That interference always led the protagonists to suffer greatly, but now the guards were on my side.

Moreover, judging from the attitude shown by Lethil earlier, it looked like both of them had pretty good standing.

With this, my freedom here would be quite assured.

“Thankfully, I scared off that giant, so the other prisoners fear me.”

Now, all that was left was to find a way to bond with Diana and improve our relationship.

“Is there any way to do that?”

“Hmm… I think I have a good idea.”

“Oh! What is it?”

Luckily, it seemed like Emily had an idea. Her eyes sparkled as she raised her index finger.

Mary and I looked at her in admiration, causing Emily to beam with pride.

“Do your job properly! You all need to repair the public facilities you destroyed!”

Crack!

Emily’s whip came down with a sharp sound against the floor of the shower room.

“No way, it’s clearly a good idea…”

Currently, I was preparing to fix the shower room wall that I had smashed while mixing cement.

Then Emily came over and pinched my side.

“OW!”

“What was that look just now? You don’t want to do it?”

“N-no, I didn’t mean that…!”

“Hmm… no matter how I look at it, that look was cheeky.”

“…Huh?”

“Get down.”

“Uh…?”

Emily’s cheek flushed slightly as she commanded me with a strangely rough tone.

“Get down on the floor. Human chair. I’ve always wanted to try that.”

Realizing her true feelings slipped out, she coughed and then returned to her harsh guard persona.

“Are you talking back? Can’t you get down fast? I’ll make you realize your position.”

With her voice exuding authority, I had no choice but to lie on the floor.

“Your breasts and butt are huge; how could you possibly work properly?”

“I’m sorry…!”

“I’m a worthless prisoner except for being Emily’s chair. Repeat after me.”

“I-I’m a worthless prisoner except for being Emily’s chair…!”

As soon as I finished my sentence, Emily burst into joyful laughter and slapped my butt.

Her heavy breaths and her slightly flushed face were a sight to behold.

No way, she’s having too much fun.

“You, you two. There aren’t enough materials, so go get some together from the warehouse.”

Still, Emily, diligently fulfilling her responsibilities, had us fetch repair materials from the warehouse.

As I left the shower room, Emily winked at me.

Her gesture sent my heart racing again, and I turned away blushing.

‘…What is this, did she awaken a masochistic tendency?’

Honestly, that chair situation earlier might not have been too bad…

No, get a grip.

If I keep going along with Emily’s hobbies, living a normal life will become challenging.

Such things need to stop after we escape. Hmm.

‘But… if it’s occasionally…’

I started lingering on the memory of Emily’s butt touching my back just moments ago.

“Um, um, excuse me. …Are you okay?”

At that moment, Diana, who was heading to the warehouse with me, cautiously spoke up.

She looked worried, blushing slightly, as she gazed at me.

‘…Oh, this is the effect.’

I admired Emily inwardly for her influence.

Humans, especially women, tend to empathize easily and feel pity for others.

In a situation where a prisoner is getting punished alone while repairing the shower room, a woman like Diana would naturally feel sympathy toward me.

That would become the starting point for us to bond.

‘Well, Emily might not have intended it, though.’

Still, it seemed beneficial in the end, so I didn’t mind being her chair.

“Yeah, I’m fine. It’s just that I didn’t work hard enough.”

“B-but that’s too much. From what I saw, you were definitely working hard. …But you seemed to be giving Ken some strange looks.”

“W-was I? Haha…”

Diana wore a bewildered expression at Emily’s odd behavior.

As we chatted, we arrived at the warehouse and stepped inside.

I figured that if this conversation kept going, it might become dangerous, so I quickly changed the subject.

“By the way, how did you end up here, Diana?”

Creating common ground is vital for getting closer.

From a prisoner’s perspective, that common ground is the stories about the crimes committed.

…Is this right? It seems that talking will undoubtedly improve our relationship.

“Well, everyone here is similar. I was trying to set off a bombing spell at an international meeting at the royal palace with my colleagues, but I got caught.”

Given her innocently smiling face, the content was terrifying enough that I couldn’t truly laugh.

“Ken, how about you? How did you end up here? …It must have been something considerable if it was just you and Raphne.”

“Uh? I, well…”

Come to think of it, common ground is only possible if you’ve done something similar.

The problem is that I have never committed a crime like that.

‘…Oh no, what should I do?’

Should I make something up? But a significant event that leads to two people being imprisoned…

At that moment.

…Bang.

“Well, what was that?”

“Did the door just close on its own…?”

The warehouse door that we had left open suddenly slammed shut.

Clunk, clunk.

And the door wouldn’t open.

Panicking as I shook the handle, I looked outside through the barred window.

There stood Mary, peeking in and making eye contact with me.

Then she gave me a thumbs-up with an indifferent expression.

It seemed like it meant, “Get close in there and come out together.”

“Um, Diana. The door seems to be locked and won’t open.”

“What?! What do we do?”

“Let’s just wait a bit. …If someone passes by, let’s ask them to open it.”

Even though I was flustered, I decided to make the most of this perfect opportunity created by Mary and Emily.
