The Continuation of This World↓
An Unspoken Death Sentence.
To reduce the overwhelming number of women, the government secretly carries out a covert population control plan.
It’s never made public, but the “processing” is undoubtedly happening.
At a certain privately operated vocational school, “abdominal capacity measurement” suddenly begins without warning.
The students preparing for pool practice are restrained and have tubes forced into their mouths.
Resistance is futile.
When the valve is opened, the tube—already reaching the stomach—begins to pour pool water in without limit.
A gradually intensifying feeling of pressure.
A powerful nausea rising from deep in the throat.
Within seconds, the stomach swells, and stabbing pain spreads throughout the entire body.
Passing the threshold, screams echo from the ripping, excruciating agony.
The only way to be freed is to meet the final moment.
Silent students are treated as missing persons, erased from all official records.
“Ghh… Ugh-ghhh!!”
It’s suffocating.
The hose shoved deep down my throat makes it nearly impossible to breathe.
I want to pull it out, but my hands are tied.
Trying to move only makes it worse, like my body’s turning against me.
“Ugh… Ughhhh…”
Ayano groans in front of me.
Her eyes are shut tight, shoulders trembling.
Tears drip down, one after another.
“It’s okay. Yours is coming later.”
SHAAAAAA!!!
The sound of water surging in with force.
“Ghh—!! Ugh—!!”
Right in front of me, Kanon let out a strangled scream.
Tears and drool streamed down her face as she trembled all over, desperately trying to swallow the pool water.
Kanon twisted and thrashed violently.
Thump… thump…
Her belly swelled slowly, pulsing like it had a heartbeat of its own.
The glossy skin stretched so tight it looked like it might burst with the slightest pressure.
Why…? Why are they doing something this cruel…?!
“Ngh—!?”
Kanon’s body jerked with a sudden spasm.
A creaking sound came from her belly as the surface writhed unnaturally.
Thin, vein-like cracks spread across the skin—
Just like the ones Mom had on her stomach when my little sister was born.
What’s… happening…?
SPLAAAGH!!!
“Gghoooaaahh!!”
Kanon screamed, her body jolting violently off the ground.
M-My god… Her stomach… What…?
I saw it.
I saw everything that happened right in front of me.
Kanon collapsed with a sickening splat, her eyes going glassy.
No… no, no, no… This can’t be happening…!!
—I’m next.
A chill ran through my body, and my heart shriveled up tight.
Even when I shut my eyes, Kanon’s final expression was burned into the back of my eyelids.
No.
This can’t be real.
Please… let me wake up from this dream.
I’ll be good. I swear I’ll be a good girl from now on…
I screamed it in my heart, again and again, over and over.
