Parallel Paradise (Volume 21) – Calling Their Bluff!

The Guardians in the Capitol have found Yota and they’ve been ordered to kill him on sight, however, before they do, they’d like to watch him mate with Imari. Of course, Yota has one condition that will turn the tables on everything…
Parallel Paradise (Volume 21) – Calling Their Bluff!
What happened?
If they want to watch then they will need to be naked too. It’s only fair. Leigh-Mary demands that they hand over their weapons too so that they can’t attack while Yota and Imari are occupied. Of course, Yota also demands that Rumi and Leigh-Mary get naked too. There are no free shows! Well, it doesn’t take long before Yota’s plan falls into action as Misa jumps onto Yota as soon as Imari is spent. Then, others quickly join in. Before the night is over, Yota ends up mating with all six of the girls in the room.

The other Guardians leave in the morning, promising not to reveal Yota to the Empress, however, they do not want to know what he is planning. Anyhow, it’s time to find the Empress. Leigh-Mary will enter the castle through the main gates and wait for them on the other side. Yota and Rumi have to take a secret path through the sewers that hasn’t been used in hundreds of years. However, they soon discover that’s not entirely true. It’s become a dumping ground for the discarded girls once the Empress has drained their blood, attracting carnivorous flying fish. They are forced to retreat.

Once they are out of the sewer, they discover a massive woman in armour who seems somewhat familiar. Unfortunately, they realise too late that it is Nakta, transformed by the Empress with the sole goal of killing Yota. She breaks Rumi’s leg and then begins to pound Yota’s face with her fists. Luckily, Leigh-Mary returned to see what had kept them and fights Nakta. During the fight, she reasons with Nakta who stabs herself in the face and dies. Leigh-Mary realises that she can’t go on with them anymore since the Empress could do that to her, the second she discovers that Leigh-Mary is working with Yota. She enlists the Guardians to help Yota and Rumi to the Empress’ room, while she makes her visit to the Music room. What will she find?

What did you think?
It’s been four months since I last visited this world and it didn’t take long to fall back into things. This series is incredible. I love how it mixes sex and horror so that you never really know how to feel about things. The volume opened with a six girl and one guy orgy, but then we discovered carnivorous fish eating corpses in the sewers and then the brutally horrific fight between Nakta and Leigh-Mary. Finally, we got to see the music room which houses a giant tentacled womb… I knew that there had to be something odd going on in the castle since no one knew where the babies came from. I’m not entirely sure we’ve got all the details yet either.

I wonder if this has something to do with Lilia and the other girls who didn’t develop the Ring of Knowledge after mating with Yota. Maybe they weren’t born from the Music Room. Also, what it they were already witches? That would explain how Lilia was able to travel to Yota’s world to bring him there. Does that mean that there is someone like the Empress who has the power to change things. There is the being that supposedly brought Yota and Kanejo to this world. There are so many questions yet to be answered.

Also, just in case, you’ve forgotten Momo was one of the Guardians from Meese City, the place that Yota began his adventure. She was the one who tied Yota to a tree and then mated with him to ensure she survived her last moon. Well, that wasn’t enough for her as she is now a witch and was the one standing in Leigh-Mary’s way as she tried to enter the music room. Things are about to get very messy as Yota and Rumi have just disturbed Yalya, the strongest and most sinister of the Empress’ knights. I’m not going to wait as long to read the next one, that’s for sure.
