Chapter 18: Domestic Homunculus Shop (Handcrafted) (03)
As I spread her legs to inspect the lower half, it became clear that one crucial hole was missing.
Of course, the usable hole was present, but the other one—the one essential for survival—was absent.
"So that's why they charge extra for the 'digestive ability' option. Makes sense now."
Between the buttocks was nothing but smooth skin, and while the usable hole was indeed open, closer inspection revealed it was just a perforation.
"Basically, if you don't opt for any additional features, what you get is essentially a chunk of meat."
Cheap items have their reasons for being cheap. Adding optional features might make it more realistic, but...
"For 200 gold, this isn't bad, I suppose."
To check her properly before use, I inserted my finger. The warmth of her body and the snug tightness gripping my finger were palpable.
"Hmm... Let's lock the door first."
I lifted the homunculus out of the container and carried her to the bed. Carefully opening her eyelids, I revealed a pair of empty, soulless blue eyes.
"Ugh... It'd be better if she kept her eyes closed."
The blue hue of the irises was beautiful, but the lack of vitality made her look lifeless, like a corpse. I decided to close her eyes, making her appear as if she were asleep.
"Alright then..."
Still, the body exhibited basic biological responses. As I massaged her chest, the nipples slowly hardened and rose. Likewise, the single usable hole began secreting fluids as I stimulated it with my finger.
Tasting the homunculus's fluid on my finger, I was taken aback.
"Why is it sweet?"
Wondering if it was just my imagination, I spread her legs and started licking directly. True to my observation, a sweet liquid was seeping out.
"Hmm..."
Pondering this anomaly, I reread the product manual.
Q16: Why does the product's secretion taste sweet?
A: To enhance your enjoyable sexual experience, we included a cushioning fluid made from safe, approved substances. The fluid is not only harmless to the human body but also delicious. It may leak depending on the product's state, but this does not affect her use.
"So she's designed to be sweet?"
At this point, she felt less like a chunk of meat and more like a leather pouch filled with honey water.
Not that I'd consider not using her, especially given her alluring form.
"At least she has a chest, thank goodness."
If she had larger breasts like I'd wanted, she might have been more enjoyable to touch. However, this slim model, crafted with extreme cost-cutting measures, was rather plain and lacked tactile appeal.
The faint bumps around the nipples were all she had. In normal circumstances, I wouldn't do this, but I bit down on the chest a little harder than usual to test it.
"No reaction, huh."
I thought I'd bitten hard enough to leave marks, but the homunculus remained unresponsive.
It was something I'd never dare to do to a real person, but since she was a homunculus, I figured it didn't matter.
"Alright then, time to get serious."
I spread the already leaking hole and pushed my dick inside.
"Oh...! This is no joke...!"
In terms of things my dick had experienced, there were my right hand, left hand, water pouches, Mollang, the Arachne, and the succubus's hand. Among them, this was by far the softest and warmest.
The tender flesh of her thighs pressed against me as I moved, gripping the slightly plump thighs with both hands for leverage.
However, since she was limp and unmoving, my thrusts often caused me to slip out.
"Ah, I should've paid 500 more gold for the artificial intelligence option!"
Doing all the work myself was exhausting. While the homunculus's body did respond to my movements, her limpness made it hard to distinguish whether I was using a homunculus or simply thrusting into a decorated leather pouch.
'It's clear that just having a hole isn't enough.'
If it hadn't been for my pent-up frustration over the past few days, even I would've given up on using this thing.
Still, she had her advantages—slightly higher body temperature than a human, a proper grip that felt good during use, and her flawless, smooth skin that was pleasant to touch.
'But they said the usage period is only 24 hours, right? What happens after 24 hours?'
Does the manufacturer retrieve her after I leave her in the storage case?
"Phew…"
This time, I didn't hold back and released inside the homunculus. I could feel the sensation of my cum mixing with her sweet fluids and flowing deeper.
"Hah…"
As I withdrew, a mixture of my Semen and the homunculus's sweet fluids began to leak out, forming a messy puddle between her legs.
'Well, without internal organs, it's obvious she would flow right back out...'
Still, seeing my cum trickling out of her opening gave off an unexpectedly erotic vibe. I instinctively shifted her legs into a crossed position, appreciating the sight of the mixture of fluids.
"Should I take a break for now?"
I inserted my fingers into her lips to part them, noticing how she opened her mouth without resistance. While her throat was realistically formed, there was no esophagus leading downward.
This meant that even if I used her mouth, anything deposited there would simply pool and eventually spill out.
"Yowch!"
The moment my dick brushed against one of her sharp fangs, I yelped and instinctively pulled away.
"Why are her teeth so sharp? Did they base this thing on a vampire or something?"
I held my throbbing dick and used my other hand to check her teeth. It wasn't just the canines; all the teeth were unnervingly sharp.
I'd heard that human teeth wear down and round out over time through eating, but since this homunculus had never consumed anything, her teeth were like jagged shards of bone.
"But honestly, it's not very fun when she lacks intelligence."
The homunculus just lay there limply, reacting only when I moved her. There was no warmth or engagement—it was like embracing a lifeless doll.
Compared to her, Mollang was far more entertaining. She moved on her own, showed affection, and even pouted playfully when ignored.
"Can't I add artificial intelligence to this thing?"
I made up my mind. Next time, I'd save up 700 gold and buy a homunculus with intelligence installed.
As I lamented my disappointment, the dormitory door suddenly burst open.
"Brothers! I'm back! Did you miss me? Guess what I brought for you? Heh, you'll be curious!"
It was Dane, barging in like a whirlwind.
"Huh…"
To my knowledge, his leave wasn't supposed to end for another three days.
As I froze in shock at his unexpected early return, I realized how incriminating the scene before me must have looked.
There I was, standing stark naked with my part still exposed. The homunculus lay on the bed, legs apart, sweet fluids and my Semen leaking from her.
Anyone who saw this would surely assume the worst.
"…"
In an instant, my roommates' gazes darted between me and the homunculus. I knew I had to explain myself before they jumped to conclusions.
"You guys want to try this t—ugh!"
Before I could finish my sentence, Levin dashed over and elbowed me square in the nose. Dane followed suit, pinning my arms and legs with alarming efficiency.
"This bastard finally crossed the line!"
"How could a human being stoop so low?!"
"Even though we're comrades who joke about dirty stuff, this is unforgivable!"
"No, listen, you guys! It's not what it looks like! I swear—gah!"
They didn't give me a chance to explain. Every time I opened my mouth, they punched me, bound me, and kept me subdued.
Eventually, Jake grabbed a spare blanket and covered the homunculus, while Dane forced me to kneel in front of her.
"We're disappointed in you, Ban. We knew you were a bit of a pervert, but this... this is beyond redemption."
"I told you, it's legal!"
"What part of this could possibly be legal?! You're not denying what you did, are you?"
"Of course, I'm the one who… but that's not the point!"
"Enough. Let's call the senior knight and let him deal with you."
If that happened, things would spiral out of control. Desperate, I tried to break free from Dane's grip and crawled toward the homunculus.
"Where do you think you're going?"
But Dane's monstrous strength made escape impossible.
"Listen to me! Look carefully—especially at the lower half! Count the holes… ugh, stop hitting me, you idiot!"
"How dare you call her a 'hole'? Your sense of humanhery has truly plummeted!"
'It's not a human, that's why I'm calling her a hole, you moron!'
I could barely think straight through the chaos.
"And what's with the coffin? Were you planning to quietly dispose of the evidence? This is beyond heinous!"
The dormitory was in utter disarray, everyone shouting and accusing me. In the midst of the ruckus, Mollang slipped into the room.
"Ah, Mollang!"
She transformed into her human form and began rushing toward me, only to freeze when she noticed Dane restraining me. Her gaze turned sharp, and her body started morphing.
Shwaaak!
"What? Aahhh! What is this?!"
She shifted to a purplish hue and began spewing venom from her mouth—a venom I immediately recognized as Arachné's paralytic toxin.
The toxin engulfed Dane, who was holding me.
"Ugh…! What is this?!"
Caught off guard, Dane tried to fight back, but his movements slowed as the toxin took effect.
"What's this gooey slime doing now?!"
While Dane was panicking, Mollang reached me and loosened the restraints on my wrists, allowing me to free myself.
"Will you idiots listen to me for a second?!"
My fist slammed into Dane's jaw, silencing him.
With Mollang's help, the situation finally settled down.
After explaining what the homunculus was, showing them the instruction manual, and clarifying everything, I quietly packed the homunculus back into her storage case for an early return.
Apparently, if left for 24 hours, the homunculus would melt down and be disposed of, but returning her in the case was the preferred method to avoid cleanup.
"So why did you come back so early?"
"An emergency call."
Dane handed me a sealed letter bearing the insignia of the senior knights.
"You're coming with me on a classified mission."
"A classified mission?"
"It seems there's been activity at an underground slave market in the capital."
An underground slave market… That sounded…
"Interesting."
"...You're a dangerous guy. I'll keep my eye on you."
