Entering a meditative state was easy. I didn't need to sit cross legged or hum a Tibetan chant, I just let my mind go adrift, letting the world around me fade into the background. I felt a surge of vitality enter my body, speeding my regeneration.
I knew I wouldn't be able to meditate while actually doing anything constructive, but I found it was possible to focus on my [Mana Manipulation] practice while meditating. In fact, meditating helped me focus on it better.

Filling my mana took another half-hour, more or less. When the time came, I let go of my meditative trance, got up, and wandered up to Maddie, to finally clear away her spine ball pregnancy as well.
"Fucking finally…" she gasped and gave me a hopeful smile.
I bent down and reached out to touch her belly. Really, I could have probably touched her anywhere, but it seemed more appropriate to touch closer to the spot I wanted to 'purify' first. I noticed something.
"Did your belly get smaller?" I asked.
"Huh?" she looked down and poked at herself.
"Dunno… maybe."
"I think it did…" I muttered. "Are you like… digesting them or something?"
"Dude, I know you're not a biology major, but seriously… it's in my cunt not my stomach… pussies and wombs don't digest things." Maddie snarked.
"Then did they dissolve somehow?" I asked.
"I'm curious too…" Lysander spoke up, and walked over to us. "Can you pull another one out?"
"No. I'm not ripping up my cunt again to satisfy your curiosity. It fucking hurts, you dipshit. Just get them out!" Maddie snapped.
"Please…" I said, eyes wide for maximum adorableness, "it's for science…"
"Here!" Maddie grabbed a discarded spiky nut she'd pulled out earlier and flung it at me,
"Stuff that up your own pussy if you're curious."
I caught the spiky ball in my hand, actually considering it. It would only hurt, Chloe could fix any damage after, and we could learn something valuable. I had a theory…
"Seriously? Fix me first, you fucking weirdo!" Maddie growled.
Right, Maddie had waited long enough. I controlled the spell shape, easier now with [Mana Manipulation] up another rank. Like with Peter, I drained almost all my mana pool to get rid of Maddie's spine balls as thoroughly as possible. Chloe came up from behind, and gave Maddie a quick healing session afterwards, much to Maddie's immense relief.
I even got a level in holy magic because of all the Purifying I was doing.

I took a moment to catch my breath, staring intently at the spiny ball still in my hand.
S-should I?
"What's your hypothesis?" Lysander asked curiously.
"I postulate that the rape monsters want to corrupt Untainted creatures with Taint, not breed with them, if they increase their population, they probably do it another way. If so, why would they plant seeds in us? My theory? These might not be seeds, they could be like… spiky Taint suppositories. If they dissolve inside us over time, they could release a dose of Taint to corrupt a victim. The same might be true of creatures with ovipositors and such, or even monster semen, everything a monster stuffs inside us might eventually dissolve on its own, even without the Purify spell to speed it up."
Lysander paused to consider, nodding her head slowly, "That would explain the spikes too. You don't want to make it easy for the victim to take them out before they fully dissolve."
I nodded, "The problem is finding a volunteer to test that…"
I held up the spiky chestnut thing. It was somewhere around a golf ball in size. That wasn't gigantic or anything. On its own, it probably wouldn't be all that painful to take inside me if not for the thorns.
"You're blushing," Lysander pointed out. "Breathing hard too."
"What? No I'm not…" I stammered in embarrassment.
Lysander nodded sagely, and gave me a little smile. "I think I understand, allow me."
She held out her hand, gesturing me to give her the spiny plant ball. I wasn't sure what she intended, but I nervously complied, placing it gently into her hand.
Lysander reached up and suddenly grabbed a fistful of my hair.
"Ow! What the f-" I shouted.
Lysander yanked harder, tipping my head back and throwing me off balance. She took a step forward, wedging her knee between my thighs. My eyes watered from the pain of having my hair pulled. I felt a finger invade my pussy. It slid in easily. I realized I was soaked.
"Wet, as expected," Lysander commented coolly.
"What are you-" I stammered.
I felt the spiny thorns kiss up against my lower lips.
"No! Nooooo!" I squirmed and pulled away.
Lysander gave my hair another painful yank, tipping me off balance again. She pulled me down to the ground. I landed on my back, and Lysander quickly pressed herself down on top of me, laying between my legs, staring me right in the eye.
"Lysander! Seriously, what the f-" I started to complain.
I was shut up by Lysander's tongue in my mouth. What was happening? That crazy bitch was making out with me? What? I was a fellow dude like, two hours ago! I felt the spiny torture ball kiss up against my lower lips again.
Oh fuck no!
I moaned in protest, but Lysander kept her mouth pressed against mine, muffling the sound. I tried to squirm away, but Lysander's grip was solid. She wasn't all that much bigger than me, but she knew how to use leverage to her advantage. I was fully pinned down.
I whimpered helplessly, and did the only thing I could. I tried to relax my pussy.
The spiny ball was slowly forced inside, carving cruel scratches into my inner walls. I screamed and thrashed, but Lysander kept up the merciless pressure, slowly easing it in as deep as her fingers could reach. I felt the spines poke against my delicate cervix, and cried.
Lysander removed her fingers from inside me, but kept a grip on my hair and continued to make out with me. I lay there submissively, incredibly turned on for no good reason, and kissed her back.
"Uh Lysander?" Ash grumbled, confused. "The fuck are you doing to Tyler?"
Lysander pulled her tongue out of my mouth, and leaned back. She stared down at me with analytical eyes, and a slightly sadistic smile. "Experimenting," she replied.
Ash sighed, "Look as much as I want to encourage your newfound lesbianism… I'm not sure Tyler appreciates your affections."
"No, Tyler wants this." Lysander said, with an absolute cold certainty that made me shudder. She lowered her head, and gently nibbled on my ear. My pussy twitched around the torture ball inside me and sent a masochistic shiver up my spine.
"N-nn!" I stifled a moan.
"See?" Lysander confirmed.
"Tyler," Ash said sternly. "Tell me this is consensual or if I need to pull Lysander off you and kick her ass."
I felt myself blush with humiliation, "It might be… slightly consensual."
"Yes or no," Ash said sternly.
"Y-yes…" I whimpered.
Ash sighed, "Alright… five more minutes, and then we go. You guys can fuck properly when we get somewhere safe."
Lysander lowered her head again, and gently kissed me. "You know, I wanted to kiss you ever since we started going through puberty together," she whispered.
"Really? But I was a guy," I muttered.
"And I was bisexual. I knew you were straight, which was why I never informed you of my sexual interest. But I'm a girl now, and I know you like girls..."
Lysander leaned in and kissed me again. I let myself relax and go with it. The spiny thing inside me left my awareness, it didn't even hurt anymore now that it wasn't moving. I let myself bask beneath Lysander's touch. I felt her soft fingers stroke my nipples, felt her lips brush against my neck.
Lysander reached back down to my pussy, and stroked my clit. I moaned, and rolled my hips against her hand…
"Oh fuck…" I moaned.
The orgasm snuck up on me, totally caught me off guard. I suddenly realized I was at the peak. I wrapped my arms around Lysander, and squeezed her against my chest. I moaned out loud, and shivered in climax, squeezing Lysander's hips between my thighs.
She gently patted my oversensitive pussy, and I twitched a few more times, before finally releasing my grip on her. Lysander leaned forward and kissed me one more time before climbing off.
Maddie clapped her hands, applauding our public performance.
"That was quite enjoyable," Lysander announced to the spectators nonchalantly and walked away, leaving me behind in the dirt.
I looked around, embarrassed. Ash looked impatient. Peter looked indifferent. Maddie was amused. And Chloe looked incredibly jealous. I wasn't sure which one of us she was jealous of.
I cleared my throat, "I uuh… guess we can get going now…"
It was just before midday. The smoke of our mysterious destination was still visible in the distance but it barely seemed like we'd gotten any closer. We had to hurry if we didn't want to get caught here overnight.
