Chapter 24: The Last Escape Path


    I heeded Akanes wish and went to the refrigerator to get her water. Since the refrigerator was installed in my house above the garage, I had to take my eyes off Akane for a little while.

    I was not rmed, though. Having lost all four of her limbs, there was no hope that Akane would be capable of pulling a stunt, especially when she was so severely restrained. I was even careful to cover her eyes and mouth, just in case. For Akane, she was truly obstructed in every direction. Akane would again be acutely reminded of her own powerlessness and wouldment.

    And she would even keenly feel the necessity of my presence.


    <em>wgehtrww</em>


    Now, in passing, Ill prepare a meal for you.


    <em>3245677543</em>


    I first opened the refrigerator and checked the contents. In the refrigerator, natural water and arge amount of liquid food were stored. From there, I grabbed enough water and food for the day before closing the refrigerator.

    Besides she needs to take a bath as well Akanes beauty demands attention for sanitation.

    In the kitchen next to the refrigerator, I soaked a towel in hot water and prepared soap and shampoo.

    Ever since being abducted, Akane had neither bathed nor excreted in the toilet. Obviously, should she neglect to bathe, she would be filthy, notwithstanding how attractive Akane was. Furthermore as for excretion, to put it simply, she was in a state of incontinence. Although Akane made no gesture of wanting to defecate, it was beyond the scope of physiological phenomena to resist. Even from a hygienic standpoint, the need to cleanse the body and keep it clean by bathing was evident.


    <em>4325678543</em>


    To be precise, it may be more like cleaning filth than bathing, but I found even that a source of joy.


    <em>4356432564</em>


    I could feel even more intensely that I was the sole one that was essential for maintaining Akanes beauty in this world


    <em>fdghjadsf</em>


    After preparing the bath and meal, I went down to the garage. I put the items on the table and headed toward Akane. In the center of the garage sat a bound Akane. The limbs of the nerveless creature were neatly aligned and resembled a painting.


    <em>feggrrggre</em>


    Yet, her expression was dry and emaciated. Such an imbnce was strangely artistic.


    <em>vreferwrw</em>


    Now, Ive brought you your meal and water. When you are done, I have prepared time for you to take a bath. Dont worry, Ill get everyst speck of dirt off your body.


    <em>regwefrgvwefgr</em>


    As long as she was human, she was bound to get filthy. Even from such a stunning maiden, filth would abound.


    <em>erwgwgrwe</em>


    Everybody preferred to avert their eyes and steer clear of the negative aspects of this. Nheless, I would not escape from this either. For Akanes sake, I would neither run away from nor look away from everything about her.


    <em>gewgrwe</em>


    Whether it was the pure Akane or the filthy Akane I was the one who could love both sides of Akane.


    <em>gtergrwgreg</em>


    Nnh ngh.


    <em>fverwgewgrgr</em>


    Dont be so flustered. Im not going to run away. Now Im going to release the restraints on your mouth.


    <em>gregwegr</em>


    The instant she heard my voice, Akanes body began to convulse violently, like a fish. Akanes body was at the limit of its capacity, and her body was unconsciously seeking water that was what she looked like.


    <em>gerwrgfrwf</em>


    Cough hah ah.


    <em>ferghet3</em>


    Akane, whose mouth was now unbound, drooled and vulgarly stretched out her tongue, demanding water.


    <em>geerggr3r</em>


    It was a vile, vulgar scene. But even such an Akane was lovely to me.


    fgeeeebe


    Now, open your mouth lets start with water.


    <em>bferbergg</em>


    To moisten the tongue, which had been stretched out by Akane like a dog, I turned toward the table set up behind me. The intersection of my gaze and Akanes was momentarily lost.


    <em>fegergre34</em>


    Thinking back on it now, though, I realized that this momentary gap was fatal. It was precisely due to the fact that I had gained Akanes trust and was ted that I created this split-second gap. I did not even recognize that this was Akanes goal.


    <em>rgfbtgrrgerf</em>


    Then I put my hand on the stic bottle on the table, began to twist the cap, and tried to turn toward Akane It was within the space of just a few seconds that


    <em>brtgeergr</em>


    With her mouth open until her jaw was about toe off, Akanes mouth closed with all her might and without mercy while her tongue was still stretched out.


    <em>fbrgregr</em>


    Giii


    <em>hjyrhtegj</em>


    What ensued then? Crushed by the white teeth above and below, the cherry-red tongue separated from Akanes, sttering fresh blood, and fell spontaneously to the floor.


    <em>ytugihxdrtfgy</em>


    The sound of wet flesh prated my ears.


    <em>uyghygvy</em>


    It took me several seconds to realize that Akane had bitten off her own tongue.


    <em>grweegrw</em>


    Ugh gyuuu


    <em>gtehytjrhgdsgh</em>


    Akane writhed in agony as a brief, hardly human-sounding shriek escaped her lips. Fresh blood was gushing out ruthlessly from the bottom of her tongue, which had been half-bitten off.


    <em>regthjyuthre</em>


    Akane! What are you doing, Akane!


    <em>ghjykjhtrtrPrevious</em>


    Jinase hah Shiinahee!


    <em>grhtjyuktr</em>


    With the loss of her tongue, Akane was unable to even utter a coherent word. Whenever she uttered a sound, fresh blood flowed from her mouth.


    <em>ewrghtjrte</em>


    For Akane, this was herst resistance. It was tomit suicide and escape from my hands, even if it meant biting off her own tongue.


    <em>hjgkuytrePrevious</em>


    You fool!


    <em>hyjtkujgftre</em>


    But unfortunately, Akane was unable to die. That was the reality. To begin with, biting off the tongue from the base may result in death by asphyxiation or exsanguination, but those cases were quite rare. The odds were not so high.


    <em>grnhmjhg</em>


    Though it may have been herst escape path in the midst of an extreme predicament, fate was not on Akanes side.


    <em>rthyuyhfgdPrevious</em>


    I secured Akanes respiratory tract and prepared to stop the bleeding while avoiding the danger of suffocation.


    <em>fdhghjhf</em>


    Akane! Why, why do you deny your own beauty and my existence!? Why


    <em>ertyhrgee</em>


    Die I want to die al ready


    <em>rgtherjtre</em>


    Starvation and despair driven to the limit of her body and spirit, Akane sought tomit suicide, timing the release of the restraints on her mouth.


    <em>yuiytrefd</em>


    For how long she had been nning such a foolish act was unknown to me but no, such things no longer mattered.


    <em>fghnjmnbvcx</em>


    The only thing that mattered was the reality that Akane had betrayed me once more, and I was seething with unbridled indignation.<em>Previous</em>


    <em>ghjkjhgfd</em>


    I had once assumed that I had taken control, that Akane hade to want me, and now she had betrayed me again, denying me.


    <em>hjkjhytreds</em>


    My rage, frustration, and sorrow grew even heavier, and I could no longer maintain my rationality.


    <em>dfghjhgfd</em>


    Akanes words of relying on me and asking for me were a fabrication and a trap. I was tricked, used, and set up in a trap to make me trust her and to time her suicide.<em>Trantor: SaintHatter</em>


    Thats why you did such a thing? Dont screw around! I will not allow you to defile Akane, even if you are Akane herself!


    <em>dfghjhgf</em>


    I howled like a beast and banged my fist into the concrete floor.


    <em>NotSharedOnlightnovelreader.me</em>


    Why? Why, why, why did you go to such lengths to escape me? I didnt understand.


    <em>NotSharedOnAggregatoSite</em>


    Until Akanes tongue was healed and joined, I continued to whine and cry like a child.
