“''Two options... fight or run...” ''

Things didn’t look good for me at the moment. Staring down a redcap who was currently smashing at the door with that cleaver she was using, maniacal look of hunger on her face. Despite this, I still had a moment to consider my options, narrow as they were...

I could jump out the window into the storm, but considering how aggressive she was being, she would likely pursue me into the storm, and in all likelihood I would get lost, and she would find me and force herself on me.

Or I could jump into that air duct, it looked like I could fit through and down into the basement, though the smaller mamono would doubtless be able to pursue me with ease down that shaft, and that would run the risk of running into whatever else might live in the basement, perhaps even something worse than her.

I could technically still fight her, or give up... though those would end up with me being her boy-toy in short order. Or...

As she managed to get through the door, I realized I was out of time to decide, so simply decided to try something “Oh well, I guess you caught me... I give up...” putting my hands out in front of me and dropping the knife. It wouldn’t be of any use against her anyway with that massive weapon, besides, I hated the idea of harming even someone like her.

Looking at me with a creepy grin that made me almost freeze on the spot, she said “Gooooood~ Now... let’s go!” taking it exactly as I wanted and diving at me full-force.

Barely managing to shift to the side in the close quarters of that bathroom, I could hear her running into the wall as she had thought I’d be there to stop her hitting it as I rushed through the ruin of the door at full speed, back into the room and out into the hallway, now hearing the rushing redcap behind me after a momentary gap in pursuit.

“Ohohoh you’re gonna pay for that one once I catch you!” she then called menacingly, continuing after me as I rushed down a flight of stairs before going through the door onto the main floor, a dull thud behind me telling me she simply jumped down the shaft in the middle of the stairway to save time, practically on my heels as I managed to get into a nearby room and close the door again behind me.

“Same story, different room!” she called through the door as the redcap began to hack her way through that door as well. I was backing away in such a hurry I didn’t even notice another presence in the room before a voice called out “Huh...? W-what are you doing in my room...?”

Giving an audible noise of surprise, I turn and notice the source of the voice, a woman rising from the bed, now looking across at her intruder, starting “I mean, I come to this ruin of a hotel to nap away this blizzard, and now...”

Once she had risen from her bed I could see her powerful form and ox-like features: their chase had been loud enough to wake a minotaur! “...well, hello...” she then started once she had noticed her intruder was male. “...I guess I was wrong, it WAS worth waking up...” she then spoke with a smirk on her face that told me my problems had only grown.

“W-w-well... sorry to have bothered you...” I started, now backing toward the bathroom. We were on the first floor now, and that blizzard outside was looking better and better, considering the hyper-aggressive mamono currently nearby, especially considering the look on her face as she saw the blood-red redcap currently breaking down her door.

Ignoring her for now and turning to me, I went toward the bathroom, but the crazed minotaur was too fast, grabbing hold of my arm with crushing strength and pulling me forcefully toward the bed that was still just behind her, “Heheheheh....” she started, breathing heavily as she pulled me.

To add to all this, the redcap finally broke through the door with a crash, shouting “He’s mine, you cow! I saw him first!” rushing the two, cleaver in hand.

However, the minotaur was having NONE of it. “My room, my male!” she then boomed back to the smaller mamono, shoving her back into the wall with one arm, though the momentary distraction had weakened her grip slightly, and I was able to slip out of my jacket and back into the bathroom. “Naughty... come back~” the minotaur now turned back toward me.

<p class="MsoNormal">However, the loss of my jacket meant that escape into the blizzard was impossible, as I would freeze to death before long out there, and I would go much slower, meaning they would catch me easily. As I backed into the bathroom, I realized, to my horror, that the redcap was now standing next to the minotaur, and they were no longer fighting “I’ve gotta punish that naughty boy, too~” she practically sang.

<p class="MsoNormal">Screw it! Anything would be better than being a meat doll for two mamono like them! This was my thought as I rushed the window, attempting to open it only to find it was stuck: the latches were still locked! <p class="MsoNormal">As I attempted to force open the old, rusted latches, two pairs of hands, one larger and stronger, the other smaller, yet still with an iron grip, took hold of my arms and dragged me back into the room to ride out the blizzard...
