Hana comes back grinning. She lifts me up by the armpits and lowers me on her lap, she hugs me tight and her body sways from side-to-side.
"I met an old friend, she's working as an escort for a transport company so I got her to introduce me to their boss," she says, her voice is gushing with happiness, "I got a good deal for us, a gold every other day. We will be the main hunters on the caravan, our job is to keep any monsters away, since we have really good scouting it should be easy for us."
"Sounds wonderful, thank you, my love," I say and pat a scaly cheek. "It's good that you met a friend, on the trip you will have a lot to talk about."
"Yes!" She crushes my ribs.
Aoi jumps out of Roxanne's window and glides until she lands on Hana's head.
"When are we departing?" Alissa asks.
"The fifth," Hana answers.
"How long are we going to stay on this trip?" I ask.
"Depends on how many foot travelers come too, he said he would limit the number but you know how these merchants are," Hana says and exhales a tired breath, "At the most we should reach Goldport before the Turn of the Year. If we come later than that then his trip is redundant, he's spreading supplies for the celebrations."
"Who's the boss?"
"A fallen noble silver elf, he belonged to the western Crown Lord branch family but his father turned cuckoo and lost a ton of money so now he took over the business with his mother. He's quite serious and hard-working but stay away from his mother, she's off-limits."
"What do you mean by that?" I ask and chuckle.
"She's a tanned silver elf, she's just like Ciel so I know exactly what's going to happen," she says, I see Alissa shiver and smile. "I know how weak you are to our tanned skin. Roxanne and Ciel don't want you being seduced by no experienced woman, no sir. So I''ll be there to keep your dick limp and satisfied," her hand snakes down my trousers and pulls out my member, she starts playing with it and stroking it lightly.
"Aren't you my Blood Slave, what are you obeying them for?" I ask and close my eyes, inhaling her sweet strawberry perfume on the strands of hair that drifted close to my face.
"I'm only doing what I think is best so you retain your body integrity, master..." Hana says with a whisper in my ears.
"So the girls are getting haughty? Maybe I have to teach them who's in charge again," I say in a low growl.
"I would love to see that," Hana says and licks her lips.
I'm merely joking, no way I'm going to impose myself like this on the girls.
Training my mana while being stroked is very good for mental clarity, though it all crumbles when I climax.
"You ruined me Wolfy," Ciel says in a tired tone as she comes back.
"I agree but I'm not sure what you are referring to," I answer and continue dicing the remmidy.
"I can't talk to Bitar anymore, it's too awkward. I can't even hug him because it makes me feel sick," she says and slumps on the chair.
"You shouldn't hug him anyway, he's feeling up your breasts," I say and give a welcoming kiss to Lina.
"He-he's not!" Ciel protests.
"Gih," Gify says and chews on another small chunk of remmidy. I smack his head, if I take my eyes away he will eat all the ingredients.
Ciel puckers her lips in anger and glares at Gify.
I stop and smirk at Ciel until her dark skin acquires a strong red shade.
"Fine! I will knowingly hug him now, he's my friend and I should make my friends happy, right?" She glares back, defiantly.
"Maybe I should visit Carmen again, it's been a while since we last met," I say casually.
"I'm sure Nononya would like a private meeting with you, I feel she admires you greatly," Alissa says.
"That adventurer Iana seemed to quite like Wolfy," Hana comments casually.
"Vanea's offer is still valid?" Lina asks casually and Roxanne bursts into snickers, she barely contains them with her hand.
Ciel pales and her mouth hangs open, then she lowers her head and frowns.
"Sorry, I went too far," I say and sit beside her. I grab her hand and kiss it, "But you started it."
"Sometimes you are quite mean. You all are quite mean," Ciel says and sends a glare to Lina.
"S-sorry," Lina says and lowers her head.
"I just want my friend back..." Ciel mutters.
"Aren't you the one who worships the Goddess of Love?" Roxanne asks, "What does she teach us about your situation?"
When it's you that's on the chaise lounge it gets difficult to analyze yourself objectively.
"'Loose ends will make a dress get undone'," Ciel says. She breathes in and her voice turns sad, "Sorry, I shouldn't have suggested infidelity to you, Wolfy, that was disrespectful."
"I didn't take it seriously, you were just retaliating at my teasing," I say and squeeze her hand, "I love you."
"I love you too," she smiles weakly at me.
I give her a deep kiss and we continue preparing lunch.
Like other classes, Electric class is just reviewing since the next lesson will be the final test. Lyle will show his [Discharge] and the power of the battery he can create with [Charge].
For this class I decide to test a concept back from Earth that I heard once, electrical muscle stimulation. With [Shocking Touch] I can control exactly which muscles are shocked, forcing them to contract and expand at will. From what I understood there's no CPR on [First-Aid], it's a skill with a rather low ceiling. Which means that they have not realized you can force a stopped heart to move or use the shock to stop a desynchronized heart.
I don't have the facilities to test this on a real heart so I will just show how to control muscles with this spell and suggest a line of research. From what Ciel knows, when the heart stops pumping blood correctly they focus [Heal] on the brain to keep the lack of oxygen from killing the person while they also try to find the cause for the heart problems. This is because [Heal] does not work very well in making the heart work again since it's physically "fine" but it's the signals that make it contract and expand that are the problem.
I come back home to Roxanne sneezing repeatedly while Ciel chants [Purify Body]. Roxanne's eyes are red, her face is swollen, her nose is dripping constantly, and she's scratching her face repeatedly.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"She succeeded in making some strong poison," Hana says with a wry smile.
Roxanne starts to speak, her voice distorted due to a clogged nose, "I, acho! Got inspired when you, acho! When you, acho! When y, ach-!" Roxanne bites her tongue and holds in the sneeze, "When you told the story that I used a poison concoction to cause an allergic, acho! Reaction on the ancient Azurite dragon."
"You really shouldn't test poisons on yourself, when we are on the road we will get goblins for you to test," I say and knit my eyebrows in worry. "None of you should be hurting yourselves like this, this is going too far."
"Oh, you worry too muucho!" Roxanne sneezes on her handkerchief and groans in pain.
"[Purify Body]."
The swelling on Roxanne's face reduces and her nose unclogs, but she's still suffering.
"Well, I'm going to have to do this a few more times," Ciel says and starts chanting again.
After Roxanne is healed I decide to [Massage] her face and relieve some of the stress, even though what she did was stupid she still succeeded in making a strong poison. Rox's Sneeze-'n-Wheeze it has been named.
I put on my hands some of the elven scented oil. Then I [Massage] Roxanne's face, then her scalp, then her horns, then her neck, then her back, then her lower back, then her buttocks, then her thighs, then her calves. Then I decide to [Massage] her insides, reaching deep to stir them and turn them into a well-mixed mulch by pounding them quite nicely.
At night I play nice with Ciel and stroke her whole body gently, helping her calm down and keep her concentration.
The [Holy Spirit] slowly forms in front of us, it's cute feet tap on the table repeatedly as it floats down. Then it's metal mask turns around to stare at all of us once his summoning is complete.
"Yes!" Ciel suddenly jumps out of the bed and the spirit falls over backwards like a puppet with its strings cut.
"Okay, control, I have no idea how to do that," she says and grabs the little spirit, having it nuzzle on her bosom.
Ciel drops back on the sofa in my arms. Through a clay golem's eyes I can see how we look like a couple looking at their newborn with warm eyes, though a rather mismatched couple since she's 21 and bigger than me while I'm 16 with a baby face.
Now that she finished her spell I slowly increase the intensity of my [Massage] until she regretfully has to change panties due to how wet she has become.
Today is the 24th.
After Alissa and Hana's meal Roxanne also wanted a snack, leaving me drained before I even got up from the bed.
I try to implant fake memories on Kyros but the low level of my [Godly Language] gives him only faint feelings of déjà vus instead of actually changing his mental state.
"You remember something funny," I order and Kyros unconsciously smiles for a few seconds then returns to his stoic expression.
"Some people are more affected by certain memories than others, if you attack these memories then it's easier to implant things on someone's mind," he says.
I certainly have a few of those.
[Blessing Magic] class is reviewing. I focus on my [Reinforce] spell, on this one I don't have to hold back. The spell is kind of a "force field" that prevents atoms from being split apart by other atoms. It really is that specific, it doesn't stop things from burning or melting, it seems to exclusively stop cutting, bending, or scraping.
Good for physical combat but extra vulnerable to magical. The "force field" reduces in power the more attacks it receives and magical attacks are extra powerful against it.
Today I have my physical training so I have to appease Hana and Lina during bath. Lina is squished between my body and Hana's weapons while Ciel sweats trying to think if Lina is cheating or not. Ciel looks at Alissa and bites her lips, she's certainly the one who's closer to "cheating" than Lina.
Drowning in pleasure, Lina's hands search for something soft to squish. She turns around and latches on one of Hana's love mounds while I latch on the other. Hana's strong hands move down Lina's cute body and fondle her, they find her little opening and stretch it wide, she instantly orgasms.
After we are done, Ciel receives a very pleased Lina on her arms, she turns to me and gives me an impish smile.
"Wolfy, can we talk?" Ciel asks casually but I feel my heart sink to my stomach.
"Y-yes, what is it?" I ask nervously and sit on the sofa.
She hugs me and pulls me down on the sofa, her softness brings me calmness.
"When we leave, you think you are ready for the world out there?" She asks softly.
Oh good, it's just an impromptu therapy session.
"Hm... Yes, I think so," I answer.
"Would you kill again to protect us?"
"Didn't I already do this?"
"After some long mental preparation, I want to know if you can answer with the intent to kill when the time comes," she squishes her breasts on me harder.
"Even if I say yes can we really know if it's going to be the truth?"
"I can feel how motivated you are."
"So this hug is not just part of your usual hugging instinct taking over?"
"You could say that," she chuckles.
"Even if Wolfy doesn't answer, we will," Hana says with ferocity.
"If you really trust us you will understand our reasoning, even if we have to knock him out we will stay together," Alissa says with confidence and Lina nods.
"How relaxing knowing my slaves will harm me so easily," I say with a wry smile.
"You never used the Blood Slave connection against any of us, if you suddenly start then something is wrong," Alissa says with a shrug.
"You always says that you don't like to treat us as slaves," Lina says.
"It's fine, I trust you all," I say, "and yes, I will do what I have to to keep us safe. No freezing, no inaction, no sentimentalism, you are all that matters," I squeeze Ciel's arm.
"Rabanara is quite calm in comparison to some towns, even with all the monster attacks," Roxanne says.
"We still haven't met a truly rotten noble," Hana says.
"And there's still Katasko, certainly someone rotten or dangerous is behind them," Roxanne continues.
"Once we reach the High Forest there's a high chance of bandit attacks. What would you do then?" Ciel asks.
"I will kill the dangerous ones and this time we will leave some time for them to surrender," I say with confidence, "I don't care if we have to show our powers, we will simply deal with it when it happens."
"That easy?" Ciel asks, skeptical.
"It's like I said, it's easy to say but I truly think that I am ready for this trip."
"You said you never killed before coming here, how was it on Earth? How did you deal with killing other people?"
"The sanctity of life was said to be inviolable. Killing might be one of the biggest sins one could commit."
"Even criminals?"
"Even criminals. A lot of people had to vow to not kill but some people even took it a step further, becoming true pacifists."
"That sounds incredibly naive," Hana says.
"It seems Wolfy is far from being on the stupid side of his world," Roxanne says.
"It's not that bad to be against killing as a principle," Ciel says.
"Yes it is. When it endangers others you are just being incompetent, your life is not your own when it impacts others," Hana says with a frown and crosses her arms.
"Big words coming out of your mouth," Roxanne says lowly.
"My 'Wisdom' has been increasing quite nicely, thank you," Hana says and pinches Roxanne's cheek.
"I agree with Hana, your world is incredibly naive. How many unworthy people are left alive to cause more pain due to this naive mercy?" Alissa asks.
"It's a mere difference in philosophy. When your life is mostly your own people develop differently," I say, "Individualism, idealism, pragmatism, all these things are in conflict with one another. My world has a lot of variety between any two people. This world is mostly pragmatism and I'm well into your side.
"I've exorcised most of my demons, I'm fine with killing. My fear is being caught unaware, but even that I feel like I have been getting it under control."
"Gih," I look at him on Alissa's lap and see his face distorted into a proud smile.
The shrieks of the space mage I killed sound further and further away. With the newest point in "Sanity" I feel more anger at my stupidity than fear of the ambush repeating. I feel more "in control" of my fear.
"What does the demon race got anything to do with exorcism?" Roxanne asks with a frown. "Ah, a reference?"
"A reference."
"What does your Earth got against demons?"
"The demon race was based on nightmares and myths were they not?" Lina asks, "It's not that he's talking about the demon race specifically, he's talking about the myths that you were based on."
"Ooh..."
"So, did we really fix Wolfy?" Alissa asks Ciel.
"I wouldn't say 'fix' but..." Ciel curls my hair on her fingers.
"Yeah, you all 'fixed' me, at the least you kept me sane while I adjusted," I say.
"Just, remember to not stop the fear, you shouldn't grow numb," Ciel says.
"I remember, 'self-control', to keep the fear at bay as my guide, not my master."
Embrace the fear, embrace the pain, embrace the danger.
"What, is, fear?" Suzy asks.
Heh. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
"The desire to maintain body integrity," I say.
"Or the desire to keep away from damage," Lina says.
"Then, we, feel, fear," Ted says.
"I wouldn't say it is like this. To feel you have to let emotions take control of your actions, even if it's beneficial or not," I say.
"Then, do, not, let, us, feel. Fee-lings, dis-rupt, per-for-mance," Ted says and Suzy nods.
Ciel frowns and Lina shrugs dejectedly, they are certainly trying to humanize the golems.
"Kweh? I, feel, no, fear, am, I, wrong?" Aoi asks.
"You are fine," Hana says and pats Aoi, "All monsters seem to feel less fear."
"Possibly something the God of Destruction did to make monsters more willing to kill humanoids," I say.
"Muuh..." Aoi's nostrils glow, "I, won't, kill, friends."
"But only friends," I say with a smile and Aoi nods with resolution.
"How about the men we killed during the necromancer battle?" Ciel asks.
"Oh..." I didn't think much about them, "I really feel bad, they were charmed by the Illusion mage and died like cattle."
"Not all deaths have meaning," she says and strokes my hair, I turn around and bury my head on her bags of happiness.
That kind of got me, I didn't pay much mind to these men after the battle. It seems my coping mechanism is to ignore and forget.
"I still feel sad about them," I say.
"Yeah..." Lina mutters. I turn around and see Alissa patting her head.
"People die stupid deaths all the time..." Roxanne says, her tone turning cold and her eyes lifeless. "I barely feel anything anymore."
Hana pulls her into a hug and says, "You should still feel."
"But I don't want to."
I wish I could stop feeling the pain of losing Lily every time we talk about my past.
"Gih."
But I shouldn't, not until the pain goes away on its own, not until the wound heals properly.
"Gih."
Soft moans fill the living room as we comfort each other.
Today is the 25th.
I wake up refreshed, these therapy sessions are rather intense but they made me feel better afterwards, little by little. The storm recedes slowly, as Alissa said once.
Lina is the one who woke me up, her jaw's endurance improved now that her [Stonebody] increased by 1.
"Now you have a new reason to get stronger," Alissa says with a smirk and Lina lowers her head, blushing.
"To think you were a pure girl once," Ciel says and sighs dramatically.
Lina puckers her lips into an asterisk and stares at Ciel. I put my hand on Lina's head and she calms down.
"You are my filthy little whore," I say and Lina groans, she drops her shoulders in dejection.
Lina's [Stonebody] is now 4. And here I though I had finally grown stronger than the little girl, I'm itching to overpower her and abuse her.
I spend some time thinking about my soul changing magic, I should call it [Soul Hardening]. I know I managed to change my soul somehow with my [Redirect Mana], so I could couple that with [Spirit Magic] [Materialization] and discover how to form the material that I want out of my soul.
But first I have to be able to move my soul at will, currently I have to meditate and concentrate a lot, the [Soul Hardening] should work without any input from me. I guess I have to create something like [Soul Manipulation] too.
Another looong and repetitive training ahead. I see no way to cheat on this one, I have to find a way to move freely my soul before I can think about casting [Materialization] on it.
Soon I'm going to have to spend years meditating non-stop refining my soul or some bullshit like that and somehow end up developing bullshit superpowers.
No point delaying it any longer. I sit down on the sofa while the pitter-patter of a light drizzle hits the windows.
Training my soul manipulation is very tiring, it's very similar to trying to cast two spells at once. Another thing I need a sub-process for. If only there was something similar to [Mana Control] to aid me.
I focus my soul out of my body, open my eyes, try to maintain soul there, repeat. I feel like I'm getting a cramp inside my brain.
We leave early for the university so I can send my thesis to Mathias.
"This is amazing, Mr. Ryder!" Mathias gushes while flipping through the pages of my thesis.
"In exchange for my thesis I want a 'Scholar' title," I say.
Mathias stops and looks at me, his gaze is now serious.
"We don't give the title to just about anyone. You understand that this title grants you the privilege to access any restricted library of the empire, correct?"
"Correct, I'm not looking for anything specific from the restricted area," I lie, "I'm mostly looking for accessing a wide breadth of knowledge in general. I have my slave, Lina, collect any sort of historical account, I'm planning on compiling it all in more comprehensive encyclopedias."
"Hm, a rather noble effort," he taps his desk repeatedly.
"It's one of the reasons I want to travel the world," I say and smile.
"Very well, I believe you will manage it. For the title you will have to defend your thesis in front of the university's council, understood?" He asks.
"Yes, can you schedule one soon? By next day of Fo I have to leave Rabanara so I want to defend it before that. I'm sorry for the hurry but it took me a while to finish this thesis."
"I think it can be arranged, a number of professors are interested in your work with [Golemancy] so I will deliver it to them posthaste!" Mathias shakes my papers with enthusiasm.
"Thank you for that," I say and bow lightly.
"It's the least I could do to someone blessed by the Goddess of Knowledge."
Last Mana Cost class, we have one last discussion about the skill. Professor Vareto starts to say a speech but his voice is so soporific that I have to focus on examining my spells to stay awake.
I discover that the speed in which the weapon forms in [Vine Weapon] can be greatly increased if I modify the way it is formed. The spell folds vines on top of one another and "ages" them, if I put my hand on a bucket of mineral [Conjured Water] and cast [Vine Weapon], the aging basically petrifies the vines, making them brittle, but strong enough that they can be used as projectiles.
If I can cast both spells at the same time I can create javelins in 2-5 seconds depending on concentration. I could teach this to Lina and it would be much more practical than pulling out javelins from her [Item Box].
During break Toroo waves her hand to us to catch our attention, "Everyone, I have some news," she says, barely containing her excitement, "I'm pregnant!"
"That's amazing!" Alissa says and grabs Toroo's hand, who nods repeatedly. Toroo's large eyes are squished by her raised cheeks due to her wide smile.
"Congratulations, joy and honor for the couple," Gimbo says.
Lina's Trivia: couples wait 3 to 5 years before their first child so they can properly "get used" to each other, since people marry easily this is a necessary tradition to prevent bad marriages. Once the couple lasts that long and they have their first child the couple is said to be "honorable" due to having fulfilled their duty of continuing the wishes of the God of Creation.
We repeat Gimbo's congratulations and Toroo takes them with pride, her feathery "ears" on top of her head seem to increase in size. Hatara looks at Garanae mischievously, his posture straightens and he shifts uncomfortably.
She's merely playing with him, nobility live longer so they wait even longer than commoners to have children. I wonder how menopause is affected by the increased longevity of Levels.
"Say, Mr. Ryder," Gimbo turns to me as the girls fawn over Toroo, even Lina is joining them. "Since Lina's training is coming to an end I wish to speak with you."
"Oh, sure, please do tell me how she behaved," I say and send a quick glance towards Lina, her face seems cramped.
I get up and put my chair beside Gimbo, the lack of Lina and Alissa's hands makes mine feel oddly cold.
"I don't really have any complaints, I just wanted to thank you for the opportunity of teaching her," Gimbo says.
I lift my eyebrows in surprise and say, "I should be the one thank you for agreeing to teach her, a slave."
"Nonsense,-" he closes his eyes and shakes his head lightly- "useless dwarven pride getting in the way of letting the Spark turn into Fire."
Lina's Trivia: the Spark turns into Fire when Creation "spreads like wildfire".
"Still, I must thank you, her enchanting knowledge has been a great help and will continue to do so," I lower my head to him.
"And I must thank you for bringing her to me, it has been a long time since I have someone as dedicated as her," he lowers his head to me. "She managed to even charm my wife, or maybe it was the opposite. No matter, when you can, bring her to visit us, we would love to see her again," he says and smiles warmly at Lina.
"I will, I have a few friends in this town so I will come back one day."
"Make sure you don't take too long, I'm already 100 years old, I might last one decade but two would be pushing it," he says and chuckles faintly.
Well damn, that's some genetics.
"That would be too long indeed. We plan on sightseeing, shouldn't spend too long in any single place."
"I know your kind," he sends me a glance, "wanderlust has a way of making us drift from our path. It took me 5 years to cross Avgi while it should have taken only a few months."
"So you used to like adventuring?"
"More like I used to enjoy fattening up eating delicacies from every town we visited. It's a wonder me and my wife aren't fat."
I chuckle lightly, but this is a true concern, if we go to Faium I might get fat from all the chocolate.
"Of all places you should go to Conchononoi," he continues, "they have a very sweet tea with a soft taste, it's rather energizing. They call it 'filía', it has a novel way of drinking it too."
"How is it prepared?"
"You mash dry leaves of their herb and add hot water, you drink from the mush that forms with a special straw with small holes that keeps the larger chunks away. My recommendation is to drink the cold version with Tonsel."
That sounds too similar to something I know. Could it be? Chocolate is not the only thing that was copied from Earth?
"Sounds like a good place to visit."
"Make sure you visit the The Fissure or Auri Yorei, seeing the flood and feeling the town rise above the water is quite an interesting feeling. Oh, and spend at least one night sleeping in the open at the grasslands of Elaria, the air over there is more refreshing than anywhere else," his eyes seem less tired as he speaks with excitement.
"In the open? I thought dwarves preferred to sleep in small and cozy places with a rock roof above their heads."
He chuckles once and rolls his eyes, "If one thing we dwarves know about is that ventilation and freshness of air is essential for soft and supple skin."
I guess that dwarves aren't oily cave-dwellers.
Tomorrow is [Space Magic] final test so I use Hana to test my [Gravity Crush] to keep her in place. It works rather well since I can fake a short chant and attack at the same time.
After appeasing Hana I have Alissa give me some scratch marks. She's syncing the sinking of her nails on my flesh with the moment I orgasm, bringing me to new heights thought not possible.
"How are your parents, Alissa? You think they will like me?" I ask, basking in post-coitus clarity with Alissa in my arms.
"They will," she says and kisses my naked chest, "Dad will play it tough a little just to see how you react, he doesn't like cowards. Mom will act cold and slowly warm up, she's not the most trusting or friendly, dealing with the other clans too much made her like that."
"I guess we will be fine, then."
"We will, if Dad goes too far I will scratch his face," she pouts cutely.
I chuckle lightly, "How does your dad look like?"
"Dad is big and muscular and he loves his long red beard. He barely looks like other werefoxes, we aren't really a tall people."
"Well you can say I'm getting used to dealing with people bigger than me."
"That's a given since there's no other humans shorter than you," Roxanne says and I reach over to pinch her naked butt. She evades my attack by jumping out of bed, she stands and readjusts her glasses, "Not this time, aha-AH!"
Aoi bites her butt and giggles.
"Traitor!"
Aoi gives her a lick on the bite mark and Roxanne shivers. "Her tongue is so slippery," she says.
Alissa turns to me and raises her eyebrows at me repeatedly, I start to sweat cold.
"Say Aoi, you wanted to learn what a kiss is like?" Alissa asks.
"Kweh? Yess, please."
"Come over here and I will show you," she extends her arms and Aoi scurries to the bed. "Bigger, please," she asks and Aoi turns into medium dog size.
"See, do it like this," Alissa pulls Hana closes and shoves her tongue inside Hana's mouth. Their tongues seek each other, twisting and rubbing, their lips don't touch so Aoi can see the movements.
Their tongues separate and a bridge of saliva connects them briefly. "Got that?" Alissa asks and Aoi nods, "Now, who do you want to practice with?"
I look away and feel Aoi's gaze on my mouth.
"Don't you want another woman?" Alissa asks, innocently.
"Bleh."
"Then Wolfy it is."
Suddenly Aoi is deposited on my naked lap, she looks up at me, expectantly. I look at Alissa and she's grinning evilly.
"Come now, Wolfy, you received me quite well. Why don't you show the same enthusiasm with Aoi?" Alissa asks.
"Y-you have a human-looking body to help," I hurriedly say.
"If she acquires one will that be fine, then?" She asks innocently. She knows what my research on [Soul Hardening] implies.
"I-I don't, I don't know."
Aoi's claws softly touch my shoulder and she comes face-to-face. Her long tongue extends and snakes over towards my mouth.
A new and odd sensation touches my tongue. Aoi's tongue is really slippery, it easily stimulates my own with just a little speed. Her tongue wraps on mine and squeezes, sending a shiver through my body. She quickly pulls out and then in again, giving me a jolt of pleasure. Her tongue explores my mouth, rubbing on my teeth and then palate.
Slowly her tongue exits my mouth and stays out. I recover from my daze and see the three girls masturbating wildly.
"Kissss!" Aoi says and giggles happily. She reduces in size and snuggles on my lap, ignoring my rising erection.
"Dragon fucker," Roxanne mutters and orgasms.
"Excuse me, Aoi," Hana says and grabs the small bundle of blue scales, she softly deposits Aoi on a pillow.
Hana's strong hands pull me down, her yellow eyes look at me with anger and ferocity.
"I'm gonna fuck you now, Wolfy," Hana says and slams her pussy on my cock.
Today is the 26th.
Alissa delicately handles my waking up. After giving another round to all the three I collapsed, my skin is so soft and bruised I think I deserve a medal of bravery.
I look to the side and freeze as Aoi's snout touching my nose sends me a shiver.
My head swims in disorder. A new problem has arisen, Aoi is a breeder-type. Monsters normally feel no attraction towards humanoids, except breeder-types, who exclusively feel attraction towards the other sex.
Aoi is sapient, which muddles things, but it's still the most viable explanation why she wants me and feels disgust at the women.
As a monster, her growth is much different from a humanoid, monsters are born already conscious and with knowledge. As an example, goblins are babies for barely a day-cycle. So I'm not sure how much of a "child" Aoi really is, but for me she's one, she's my baby.
Now I'm not sure I can continue thinking of her like this.
"Now you are the one corrupting me, Alissa," I say.
She smirks and swallows, after a [Clean] she plunges her tongue inside my mouth for a long time.
"Now I want to see you subdue a real dragon," she lets our girly giggles and moves out of bed.
"I'm a real dragon, partially," Hana mutters and goes after Alissa.
My [Mana Efficiency] and [Reduced Mana Cost] increased by 1 (now 5+7 and 8+7).
I tell the girls the good news.
"Well..." Ciel starts but doesn't continue.
"You are going to be a dragon rider in all senses of the word," Hana says and slaps my back painfully, "though now you need to have sex with a dragonoid too."
"We could eventually get another, male, dragon for Aoi. Or have another... man, uh... satisfy her," Ciel suggests, ignoring Hana.
Aoi huffs smoke towards the air and Alissa glares at her but then pats her head.
"I don't know what to think," Ciel says.
"Me too," I say.
"Dragon fucker," Roxanne says and Lina bites her lips, trying to hold back a smile.
"There's not much to think, I'm sure Wolfy won't enjoy seeing another beastly dragon, with its huge cock, taking our little Aoi's virginity," Hana says with a fearsome grin.
"Kweh!" Aoi nods.
"We don't need to make a decision now, do we?"I ask, the girls shrug and Ciel remains unmoving. "Then let's leave this for another time."
"Are we the only two normal ones here?" Ciel asks me, I shrug and massage my eyes.
"Gih," Gify nods.
I try to slowly alter reality by provoking a small breeze on the handkerchief using [Godly Language]. At one point I feel like I'm tripping on shrooms as the fabric of reality weakens due to successive attempts to alter it.
Altering reality has a weird effect on the world, basically once you break one rule it gets "added" to how reality works and as such, they start a chain sequence of alterations, "updating" the world to the new rule. The effect is different from say, radiation, which is similar to how mana rips the world apart, because it seems that a "conscience" has a special effect on the world and breaking reality messes with our consciences.
On Earth a brain is only a series of neurons firing randomly, a series of chemical processes and electric currents, in Rupegia, a brain/soul has the capability to alter the world based on will. This is how magic works, this is how mana works, and this is how [Sense Presence] works, by looking at the outline of how we alter reality around us just by existing, this outline being our soul.
Apparently I can't alter how mana works with [Godly Language], the power of mana is well-defined, even if it doesn't seem so for us, which means it's unalterable. Which is why mana helps the world "stabilize", it is the primordial source of everything so it "overrides" my alterations.
I go through a lot of MP potions but manage to create a breeze, the only side-effect being that I saw a rainbow for a few seconds.
Lina comes back with an adorable smile. She pulls out Hana's emerald fang sword with a *poof* and puts it on the table.
"Oohh...!" Hana exclaims and quickly snatches her bastard sword, I see there's a small grey gem on the hilt, looks like quartz.
Hana swings her sword in the air and I feel mana leave her body. A ghost of Hana appears and swings the same way.
"Amazing!" Hana exclaims and drops the sword on the table, she rushes over towards Lina and invades her mouth with her tongue. With a smack their lips unglue and Lina nearly melts on Hana's arms. "I love you! In more ways than one." She chuckles.
Lina twiddles her thumbs and nods while Hana pushes her straight. Ciel looks concerned but also happy.
"Now do for your own switch-axe too," I say.
"Yes. This time it will take a few days only," Lina answers and nods again.
Alissa brings Aoi to the university since nobody is currently at home. She receives all the stares with Gify on her shoulder and Aoi in her arms.
In Space class every student goes, one by one, and show their specialty. A few town guards are chosen as guinea pigs and two school teachers who know [Heal] are at the ready in case of accidents.
Most people are either showing [Telekinesis] by raising large rocks or throwing smaller ones at the guards, or showing [Item Box] by fitting large items inside. A few students use [Gravity Crush] to destroy things like boxes or pieces of armor.
I'm the only one who developed a short chant just so I can use it to disrupt someone's attack. I pick the biggest guard of them all and start the spar.
After delaying things enough I cast the spell and strike at his neck. He barely has the force to lift his sword, let alone block me. I touch his neck with my wooden sword and end the spell. The guard collapses and coughs blood.
Oops, I think Hana was a little too resistant for me.
Professor Ludwick smiles widely at me and then nods, he and 2 other observers write a few things on a board as I finish my test.
"This is the easiest to pass so I'm not worried," Lyle says.
"Beginners [Space Magic] class is only for [Item Box] so as long as you can put a suit of armor in it they pass you," Hatara says.
Eventually the conversation dies down because Aoi charms everyone with her adorableness. She's playing with her floating gold ball toy, she swipes at the ball and it flies away but returns to float on top of the wooden block, once it stops the ball starts heating up. The point of the game is to keep the ball away as long as you can until it starts to glow with heat, the balls starts to increase in nimbleness with every hit.
Aoi stands on her forelegs on top of the wooden block and batters away the ball repeatedly. She adorably growls with anger and lets smoke leave her nostrils.
"She's adorable," Garanae mutters absentmindedly.
"Kweh!"
And she knows it.
Since we already finished our tests we go home. Lina is with Hana at the hunter's guild sparring; Roxanne comes back from selling some of her potions; Ciel is at the temple showing off her [Holy-, I mean, training her [Judgment].
I recruit Alissa and keep messing with her skill points, trying to find where in the soul is the skill stored.
"What do you feel?" I ask as Alissa casts [Telekinesis] on a cup of tea.
"We, do, not, feel," Ted says.
"Right, what do you sense, can you sense the mana inside Alissa?"
"We, feel, a, dis-tur-bance, a, for-ce," Suzy says.
"Can you copy it?"
They tilt their heads in sync.
"Not, sure," Ted says.
I see the differences in the soul when I add or remove skills, but I can't feel the entire extent. It seems skills are something that stretches for a good part of the soul.
Ted lifts one of his fluffy arms in the direction of an empty tea cup. I feel a wild burst of mana come out of his arm, the tea cup shakes and explodes in hundreds of little pieces. Ted falls over face-down, his body limp.
The clay golem summons immediately start to move again and sweep the dust.
"Oh shit, Ted, you okay?" I ask.
Alissa quickly grabs Ted and checks all over his body for damage.
I put on [Spirit Magic] and cast [Soul Touch]. I feel his soul is "gooey", it's constantly shivering and moving, something wrong happened inside him.
The spell acts like a [Regeneration] for the soul and slowly puts his soul back in piece, returning it to it's "structured" form.
Roxanne comes down and peeks over the room. "Did something happen?" She asks.
"Kweh! Ex-plode!"
"Gih."
"Ted tried to cast a spell and it seems to have failed spectacularly," I say.
"Oh no!" Roxanne yells and rushes over to the little teddy bear.
Ted recovers lucidity and starts to move again. He escapes from Alissa's arms and looks over his handiwork.
"I, fai-led, my, task," he says and bows, "for-give-ness, ne-ces-sa-ry."
"It's fine," I say and Ted straightens, Alissa snatches him and she and Roxanne ask him if he's really okay. "I think I gave them too much mana. I copied Hana and Alissa's mana organ but they are an adult's organ, the golems are like newborns with their mana control."
"They should have the soul of an elemental so maybe they can cast [Earth Magic] spells correctly?" Alissa asks.
"Elementals manipulate the elementas, they don't really cast spells the same way we do," Roxanne says.
"[Earth Wall] should be close enough," I say.
We move outside and I show the spell to the golems. This time we let Suzy cast.
She only manages to raise a flimsy wall, but at least she didn't turn her soul to mush.
"Maybe the bodies of the elemental also influence on their spellcasting," Roxanne says.
"Makes sense, we know the storm elementals' bodies are valuable due to the mana they hold, kind of like a mana crystal for staffs," I say.
"So elementals are essentially just huge, sentient, mana crystals?" Alissa asks.
"Cor-rect, as-sump-tion," Suzy says.
"So, does Gecynd shit crystals?" Roxanne asks with a chuckle.
"Gihih," Gify chirps a muffled laugh, his claws cover his mouth.
"If it creates an elemental then she more like births them," I say.
"That sounds horrible," Alissa says.
"And painful," Roxanne says.
Gify stares at where our tree in the front yard should be and I get a shiver, hopefully Gecynd didn't hear that.
We teach the golems [Earth Bullet], [Earth Wall], and [Dust Storm]. They learn how to cast easily but have extreme difficulty in controlling the spell.
Roxanne starts training them in [Mana Control] alongside Aoi while I focus on [Soul Manipulation].
During bath I require massage on my bruised member. I grab Lina by the waist and lower her on me, slowly we grind on each other. She deserves some rewards for succeeding with [Double Strike] so Ciel massages her from behind. Her mouth is occupied by either of us so by the end of it she's out of breath and melting on my arms with a silly smile on her face.
At night Hana shows us her progress with [Illusion Magic], she can create 3 arms and attack at the same time, with this even Toga has difficulty winning against her. To survive you either full dodge or take the risk and try to parry, trying to parry all attacks at the same time is basically impossible.
"Wolfy, can you start to show me [Water Spirit]?" Roxanne asks.
I look at Ciel and she nods.
"Sure."
I sit down and hug her tight, she nuzzles her face on my neck and my nose is filled with her lavender perfume plus some faint sweet perfume from a high elven skin cream.
I put my points into [Water Magic] and call the spirit. A ball of water forms on my palm, it changes into the face of a little mermaid. Ink appears from the ball of water and takes the color of unnaturally white skin, a black fish body, and black algae hair. Her face might be cute but certainly resembles Roxanne, even her shell-covered breasts are the same size, if Roxanne was half a meter tall. A trident made out of coral grows from her hand.
Once completely summoned, the mermaid "swims" in the air, giggling.
Ciel's [Holy Spirit] stops walking and face plants as she loses concentration and I see the "hugging eyes" show themselves.
"Why does yours continues moving when you don't pay attention while mine stops?" Ciel says and pouts.
"I heard something that [Summoning Magic] alters the soul, a part of it turns similar to the summon's soul," I say, "could be the same principle."
"Then give me a point in [Summoning Magic]," Ciel says and I obey. She casts [Summon Small Bird] and sways while sitting, nearly falling over Lina on her lap.
"How did... how did you get used to this?" Ciel asks, trying to hold her dinner in.
"You just do, you have to force yourself."
"His 'Willpower' is slightly higher than yours," Alissa says.
Ciel nods and gathers her resolve.
A while later I have to wake up Roxanne. I almost suspect she used the excuse of training to fall asleep in my arms, since tonight is Lina and Ciel's day she must be trying to score some out of her time.
Today is the 27th.
Ciel wakes me up. Since today I don't have to meet with Kyros, I keep her and Lina in bed for a while longer.
Alissa comes back and throws herself into the pile of limbs. Her tail slaps Lina in the face repeatedly, who grabs it and pulls on it weakly making Alissa yelp once.
"This is actually so soft," Lina says and starts to caress Alissa's tail.
"Hmm... yes, run your fingers through, yes, like that," Alissa says and her ears flop in pleasure.
"The trip itself might actually be boring since we are going slow so I thought about buying some books," Ciel says as runs her fingers through my hair.
"You know what books I like," Alissa says. She closes her eyes when I start to play with her ears.
"Maybe we should buy some card game too," I say and Lina perks up her head.
"There are a few toys too that we could bring with us," Ciel says, "What books do you like, Lina?"
She sends me a glance and puckers her lips.
"You can choose whatever book you want, keep the history ones for when we reach another big library," I say and pat her head.
"Oh, then I want some ro-romance," she says meekly.
"Hm? Am I not enough for you?" I ask and lift an eyebrow at her.
Ciel painfully pulls a strand of my hair and Lina pouts.
"Ow, it's joke," I say.
"Let a woman dream a little," Ciel says and caress the hurt spot.
"For you the trip might be boring but for me it will be a good exercise. Sex is not enough to keep my figure," Alissa says.
"Not even when I don't hold back?" I ask.
"Only if we are doing it in my fox form," she says and smiles seductively.
Oh boy. It feels weird but for her it's the least I should do.
"Anytime you want we can do it on your other form," I say.
She gushes with a wide smile and rubs her face on my chest. For this happy face I would do anything.
I don't feel like training this morning so I spend it playing not-backgammon with Lina. She seems to love playing games, I bet she would be a hermit just like me on Earth, addicted to video games or anime.
Lina's still a little too young to compete against me but she's a fast learner. We started off 3-0 in my favor and then finished off at 6-5. I think that the last games were won by luck, her analytical and strategic thought are well developed.
For lunch we are having mutton, since we are going to leave we better enjoy it because we might not find it again so easily. The wine and juice made out of the Gorgon fruit is also a local delicacy so we are stocking some of it.
The High Forest has a large amount of fruits and veggies so we are not too worried about missing the taste unless it's something specific we crave. Ciel seems a little guilty over the amount of luxuries we have so we send some gold coins as donation to the temple.
The money is starting to run low again but the job will give us a lot of money so we aren't worried. Any monster we kill we get full rights over the body and proof of extermination so it's also a good supplement.
Nature class is the final test, just by showing Gify I pass but I decided to show my javelin creation.
"Have you been learning dual-casting, Mr. Ryder?" Professor Tanya asks.
"Yes, little by little I have been forcing my brain to learn how to create sub-processes," I say.
"Then this javelin creation is a worthy pursuit, learn a few levels in [Throw] and it will be a handy tool for close-range support."
Most other students focused on [Grow], [Animal Tongue], or [Manasynthesis], most combat-oriented mages seek that last spell just for the increased mana regeneration it gives.
At night Roxanne and Ciel start a proper [Mana Control] class.
"Feel the mana, it's like a river, or a pitcher that you use to pour water on a cup," Ciel says, "You control the rate of the flow, too much and you lose control, too little and it drips along the edge and down the pitcher."
"Ri-ver?" Suzy asks and tilts her head.
"Ne-ver, used, pi-tcher," Ted says.
"You should have my knowledge of it, shouldn't you?" I ask.
Both of them look at their hands.
"Diff-rent."
"Bo-dy."
"Oh, I see," I say and hold my chin in thought, "They may have my knowledge but lack the means to apply it. I though it was kind of weird they didn't know how to control mana seeing they have my experiences."
"Ad, hoc," Ted says.
"Ah, right! Mana is dependent on the soul and mind, so the way we control is different for each person."
"It shouldn't be that different," Roxanne says, "The standard [Mana Control] training is done with hundreds of other students so everyone learns the same way. Nonstandard control could lead to some dangerous side-effects when you start to cast bigger spells, specially with the empire's [Ritualism]."
"The souls of the golems are already nonstandard," Ciel says, making Roxanne frown.
"We shouldn't try to create something new. The golems are already dangerous as is, we don't need to make them even more special, it would only make them more difficult to deal with," I say and Roxanne nods.
"Dan-ge-rous?" Suzy asks, Alissa and Lina look at us with puppy eyes.
Roxanne chuckles and says, "Not in the way you are thinking. Currently you are harmless but your growth is an unknown, we don't know how powerful you will become. If we can't control you or you can't control your own spells properly then you might become dangerous to us or others."
"[Golemancy] is a very rough and unfinished magic school so we would rather not take any risks," I say.
"Un-der-stood," Ted says and nods. "Keep, us, far, from, com-bat."
"That would be difficult, the first thing anyone would want from [Golemancy] is cheap and disposable soldiers. If we don't develop [Golemancy] that way someone else will and they might not have the same concerns with safety as I do."
"Well, we are just a small group of people, maybe if the scholars of the capital join hands they would have more resources to deal with this safely than we do," Alissa says.
"But my knowledge of robotics and artificial intelligence sets me apart. I might know more about [Golemancy] than anyone in this world, alive or dead," I say.
"You never really explained what those two things are," Lina says.
"The first one is a little difficult to explain since this world doesn't seem to have sensors yet. But basically it is something like this: you see the water level of a rainwater collector is too high, so you open a trapdoor and let some of it spread to workshops, like say soap-makers.
"You have three important parts on this: first your eyes, they showed you the water level. There's a way to do something similar with mechanisms and electricity, it sends a signal, the higher the level of the water, the stronger the signal, the bigger the electric 'pathway'; The second part is the logic, if the tank is full, then open the trapdoor. If condition is fulfilled, then do an action, this is one of the basis for logic. There's a thing called transistor that hasn't been invented here yet that you use for this; The third part is the action, you open the trapdoor for the water to escape. With a thing called actuators they are mechanisms that allow you to do physical movements humanoids can do by simply sending an electric signal.
"Now, artificial intelligence is basically [Golemancy] or [Summoning Magic], specifically, the brains of golems and summons. It is the copying of our capacity for processing information and applying it in other areas. The interesting part of these magic schools is that they copied the brain while in my world we tried to build the brain from the ground up."
I stop and notice how I have been talking non-stop. The girls are looking at me warmly with a small smile on their mouths.
"Alright, then. Now I believe you are the most qualified person for this," Alissa says with a wide smile.
"You are a scholar, alright. Your eyes were shining all the time you spoke just like the ones I met," Hana says and smirks.
"What's logic?" Lina asks.
I smile and pull a piece of paper. I start by explaining her decision trees and flow-based programming.
Alissa turns into a small fox and comes sit on my lap while reading a book. Her cute little paws flip the pages with a little difficulty.
"Sensors... maybe, maybe we can do something like this with the gnomic picture creator," Lina says.
"There's the mechanical ones, too," I say.
"Hmm... There's those mana batteries, maybe we can use a mechanical opener for them using [Telekinesis]."
"Can you channel mana down a wire or pipe?"
"Not really efficient but possible, going to use a lot of Kanal metal, though."
"Too expensive, if we can convert mana to electricity then it's better, it flows through simple and thin copper wires."
"I see..."
Ted and Suzy look over my diagrams.
"Our, min-d, works, li-ke, that?" Suzy asks.
"No, your mind is very different," I say. "This is just the distillation of logic into it's base components, this is called 'hard' computing. Yours and our brains works differently, it's called 'soft' computing or 'white box' computing because it's only a bunch of numbers that have no meaning when looked separately."
Lina and the golems look at me inquisitively, well at least Lina does it, I'm assuming that's the meaning of the stare of the golems.
"The neurons in our brain work in a different way. Somewhat similar to the flow-based programming I showed but on a more purely mathematical way."
"Ohohoh, well listening to you is quite enlightening," Roxanne says, her voice slightly slurred.
Hana rolls her eyes and removes the cup from Roxanne's hand. "That's enough for today," she says.
"Awn, I got drunk already? Well Wolfy, living with you has removed the resistance my body had to alcohol."
"That's good for your health," Ciel says and I smile wryly.
"Sorry that your training got interrupted," I say.
"We are going to have enough time on the rooad," Roxanne says and drops her body on the arms of Hana.
Soon after the clothes of both of them are on the ground and my erection starts to rise. Aoi and Gify read the mood and jump on the table, curling on each other and going to sleep.
Alissa looks at me and sends me a toothy smile. She innocently increases her size and pushes the book away. She lifts her ass towards my face and stretches, then she flops down on my crotch with her legs spread.
She moans sensually to my petting and sucks on my fingers, wrapping her tongue around my finger and deepthroating it.
"Alright, I got the hint," I say and turn her upright. I pull out my dick and rub it on her furry entrance, making her giggle with delight.
I penetrate her from behind and hug her. If I close my eyes and focus on her softness then this is actually quite pleasant, specially after I take my shirt off and feel her soft fur touch on my skin gently.
Alissa moans in a pitch higher than normal and growls as my thick cock spreads her tight insides wide.
"Ah... Wolfyy~..." She repeats my name absentmindedly.
She reduces a little in size and tightens more around my cock, this allows me to wrap her completely with my arms. I slam on her repeatedly, she clenches her teeth and growls louder.
Aoi lifts her head to look at me and I feel the smugness through [Animal Tongue].
Alright then, if you want I will make the dragon mine. Let all men worship the cock that made a dragon bow.
I feel the anger and power flow through me stronger than before. I am dominating a fox, a symbol of nature. I'm just another animal on the top of the food chain that fucks whatever is below me and currently the one below is Alissa.
My slave, my lover. I control her life and death, her pleasure and pain. She's just another tool, another object for me to play with in any way I want.
I slam on Alissa, her moans turn into pure growls, her lips raise, showing her threatening fangs, and her eyes close as she basks in the pleasure. She resists my hug and squirms, trying to escape. I grab her by the throat and hold her still as I slam into her tight pussy.
With a gutural grunt I finish inside Alissa and hold her down by the neck. Exhausted, I lay on top of her while she slowly transforms back into human with my member still inside her. Now that is a new sensation, like a warm and tickly massage all over my shaft and sensitive head.
I pull out of her and Lina comes to clean Alissa. The little girl happily digs her tongue inside Alissa's lips in search of the white gift. Alissa moans softly as Lina slowly brings her to orgasm.
I see Ciel is holding tight on the sofa's armrests as Hana fingers her wildly with one hand and Roxanne with the other.
Today is the 28th.
Alissa happily awakes me, not leaving a drop for Hana. Due to yesterday's indulgence, Alissa is completely glued to me with a smile stuck on her face. She drags me out of bed so we make breakfast together and looks heartbroken as I leave for my lessons with Kyros.
I feel like I'm on the grasp of creating the shield vortex, like a word that's on the tip of my tongue. The feeling of edging so close to my goal was frustrating at first but I slowly managed to get it under control, like the anxiety from going downhill on a bicycle, it makes my heart beat fast at the uncontrolled feeling of freedom, but then feels refreshing once I stop and look back.
At the class, Alissa parts from my body with much regret so I can demonstrate my muscle control with [Shocking Touch]. The spell is originally chaotic to fry the nervous system, making it more controlled wasn't that hard, although my control is still rough for what I'm trying to do.
"Controlling the heart, how novel," Professor Nellan says, "I have been focusing on mechanical and chemical uses for [Electric Magic] so I don't know much about the medicinal uses."
"His reasoning seem sound, this path of research should definitely be investigated further," says a professor.
"You think you can control the brain?" Asks the another professor.
"That would require so much control in the spell that I think it is not humanely possible," I say.
"'Humanely'," says the first professor with a snort, he's a halfling.
"That's now how the word is supposed to be used," says the second professor as he narrows his eyes.
"That was a joke."
The professors try my spell and see that it is possible. The halfling professor is quite pleased.
Lyle manages to increase the area of effect of his [Discharge]. Not very powerful but it should be enough to disrupt certain weaker monsters like harpies.
The other students display a variety of focuses. Most use [Lightning Bolt] as a way for a quick stun and the second biggest group uses [Rush] as a retreating tool.
Mathias sent a letter that the council will evaluate my thesis at next day of Tann, the 30th.
"Well Wolf, this is our last class together, it has been a pleasure to study beside you," Lyle says, Hatara nods emphatically and Garanae nods shyly.
"The pleasure is mine, your family's talent with [Electric Magic] is admirable. Also, don't forget about what I said about actuators," I say and smile.
Lyle is my best hope in inventing the transistor and bringing robotics to this world.
Hana and Roxanne are quite content, the ride might be bumpy but changing the scenery and sleeping in the open seems to be something they miss. Though with my tent and [Heal] the ride will be much more comfortable than usual.
"How's Maoka?" I ask Roxanne.
She waddles through the water and deposits herself in my arms, then she says,"It's quite hot, from what Hana told me it's like Sommerland but with less trees and more tall grass instead of bushes. Oh, and we have lots of tall mountains so in the horizon you can always see a snow-peak. I guess we don't tan as well so the skin color of our people is more varied than over Sommerland."
"There's a large archipelago on the eastern side of the continent, right? Ever been there?"
"No, you have to cross the Death Valley so I never felt the courage to do it," she cringes lightly.
"How Mithra was?" Ciel asks, "You never really told us about her."
Roxanne frowns and says, "Do I have to? You know I don't like to talk about it."
"Wolfy did, you should know that talking helps."
It helps us accept reality, once you put your feelings into words they seem more "real".
Roxanne looks at me with pleading eyes.
"You should talk," I say and her her gaze turns sultry, her pale skin contrasts with her red lips, who are calling mine. I plant a kiss on them, I taste her tongue and tease her palate, then I break the kiss and say, "You really should talk."
Roxanne clicks her tongue and sighs. "Well... where should I start."
"Her personality," Ciel says.
"Happy, carefree, and just generally positive about life."
"Sounds like you are talking about yourself," Hana says with a smirk.
"Except the last part," Alissa says.
Roxanne aims my member and lowers herself, plunging it deep inside her. "If we are going to talk about this then at least massage my insides," she says and gives me a peck on the lips. "Well Mithra was her own person, if anything she made me realize how life is fun outside of studying and training."
"Considering how you abhor mana training I believe this is true," Hana says and Roxanne's dagger tail touches Hana's throat threateningly.
"How did she look like?" Lina asks.
"Like Hana but albino, it's quite common among our kind and I think it's a fetish of mine," Roxanne says and licks her lips.
"You are not meeting Sonny again," I say in a serious tone.
"Oh please, don't be a killjoy," she says while rolling her eyes dramatically, "I'm sure you would love to fuck me hard in front of him. Have him pull down his pants and watch him stroke his little cock desperately while you stir my insides with your thick log. Then watch as his cum flies and falls just short of my skin, the closest he will ever be of tainting me with his weak seed. Then you spread my legs and I squirt all over his face, he licks the air while his eyes glue to my body, burning it into his memory to forever wank pitifully at the glory of my body being pierced by your thick, fat, long, cock."
"That was... too specific, you are never meeting Sonny again," I say while I claw her ass and pierce her hard.
"Also, you are changing the topic, Mithra, please," Ciel says, slightly annoyed and blushing hard.
"Ahn...! Fine, as I said, she's just like Hana, I like being dominated-"
"Hah! Now you admit it," I say.
"Wolfy, shush, you are going to pull the topic away again," Ciel chastises me.
Roxanne squeezes her insides and nearly makes me cum, then she continues, "Anyway. When we first met it was like a [Lightning Bolt] struck, next thing we know I'm eating her up while the entire dormitory cheers on us. Things kind of turned into an orgy after that."
"That sounds wild," Hana says with admiration in her voice.
"And it was, though we never did it again, we are not that depraved," she says and Hana snorts.
Roxanne sighs wistfully, the happiness and her hip movements fade as she reminisces. "With Mithra things were just right, it's like the first time in my life I had someone who really wanted me by their side, we really just wanted me to be happy," her face turns into an angry scowl, "Mother just wanted me to start a lineage! Father is just a limp-dick who lets mother do as she pleases! The others are just snobs who keep sucking each others cunts! Not even in my own damn birthplace was I well received because Mother ruins other people like a breeder-type sucks souls!"
Her movements restart with anger, she slams herself on me and quickly reaches an orgasm, wringing one out of me when her insides squeeze me.
"It's all my [Fire Magic] this, my [Water Magic] that, my [Mana Control] is oh so amazing that I had a line of people just wanting to suck on my toes. Well fuck that, Mithra didn't even know my specialty magic until she asked when we left to hunt some monsters, then she shat her fucking pants off because she didn't know what [Explosion] was capable of. What even is the fun in being so high up there that you can't see the ground anymore!?"
She hugs herself and hunches over, when she's done speaking she grits her teeth and scowls at the water.
Hana comes over and buries Roxanne's head on her breasts, I pull out of Roxanne and hug her from behind. She turns her head sideways to look at me and I see she's crying angry, silent tears.
Aoi and Gify swim towards us to enter the cuddle puddle. The last three girls surround us and Gify turns on his special touch. I feel the anguish inside Roxanne's heart, her anger at a lost childhood. Then I focus on my time with her, her happy nature and teasing personality, her reliability in battle and her talent for potions, our adventures and bright future together.
In a few minutes she seems to calm and fall asleep. Her calm expression makes her look even more beautiful asleep.
Gently we wake her and leave the bath. Slowly we start to talk again and return to normal.
At night Roxanne spends her time playing Civil War with Lina, for once we had a more quiet evening.
Today is the 29th.
Lina happily swallows her success, her gloomy eyes become upturned at her wide smile.
This morning I spend practicing my [Godly Language], I easily tip over and find release. The second vortex forms, weakly, and shields me from my own voice.
"Now you can easily make someone puke that is not yourself!" Roxanne teases, completely back to normal.
"If I put 20 points on it I can do it without anyone getting too sick," I say.
"There's one word on your phrase that gives me a lot of concern," she says and walks away, out of my reach.
"Har, har."
She spends her morning happily coaching the little golems and Aoi in [Mana Control] while Alissa decides to glue on me again and we practice our mana routines together.
Today is the [Blessing Magic] test. The most straightforward of them, you just show all the spells you can chant. I show up to my [Reinforce] and the judge immediately tells me I passed.
"I'll miss the professor's singing," Hatara says and sighs deeply. "She's just so beautiful too."
I really have a dirty mind.
"Now that classes are done can you show us [Fly]?" Ciel asks.
"KWEH!" Aoi yells in my ear.
"O-okay, but later. Now I want to relax, tomorrow I have to defend my thesis," I say and clamp Aoi's mouth shut with my hand.
She wiggles out of my grasp and suddenly her slippery tongue is inside my mouth. She wraps it on my tongue and gives it a squeeze before quickly removing herself, giving me a large jolt of pleasure.
Hana smiles wide and pats Aoi, congratulating her on the successful sneak attack.
Oh boy.
