Chereads / Rupegia / Chapter 53 - Tease

Chapter 53 - Tease

Note: the number of sex scenes temporarily increases quite a lot in the following chapters but it eventually goes back down again. One day I'll review these chapters and prune a bit of the unnecessary lewdness to let the story flow more smoothly.

--

A few tense silent seconds passes by, then suddenly everyone cheers at the same time, a few laugh in disbelief, and a smaller number cry in happiness. As quickly as it came the crisis was resolved.

Hana grabs the dizzy Roxanne and makes her sit on her shoulders, with the other hand she grabs my arm and lifts me up, then she roars and a flame escapes her mouth. Ciel rushes to us and gives me a shoulder ride. The cheering men and women turn to us and clap, I spend a few awkward moments smiling and waving until the cheering dies down and I'm put back on the ground.

The stake in the Giant's head dissipates and Aoi rushes towards him, her target the spilling gray matter. Hana shakes her head and follows Aoi to keep her safe.

The meat-shields lay down on the grass while the soldiers come over for tight handshakes and strong slaps on our backs. If my hands hurt then I pity Roxanne's, might have to [Heal] her in a sec.

"Helios, eh? I think I heard about you guys once, the town criers were saying some things about extermination, right?" Says a rugged old soldier.

"Ain't them the ones who got the Symbol of Hate too?" Asks a mage.

"Guess sometimes rumors are true," says a female archer.

"They always have some truth in them," says another old soldier.

The watch captain comes to us, his face is drenched even though he didn't move that much. "Helios, I am captain Hazeez, me and my men have much to thank you. If your elementals and your mage weren't there to distract the Giant, the fast-response team wouldn't have enough time to set up. You have saved plenty of lives," he extends a rough red hand to me and I take it.

"I'm Wolf Ryder. And thank you, but we have to thank my nature's spirit too. If he didn't give us the early warning then things would have been bad," I say and scratch Gify's neck, he closes his eyes and his beak deforms into a smile.

"Gih!" He chirps happily and even the rugged captain breaks into a small smile.

"I send my thanks to the forest guardians, whoever they may be," he says and looks down to our caravan, then to the fast-response team that's approaching. "Now, there's someone over there who has the power to give you some measure of reward, not that it's going to be able to pay for the lives you saved." He sighs and continues, "And I also have something to do, the Giant was awoken by someone, even though we put up warnings about them."

He moves on towards the caravan, I see two weredogs with light yellow wavy hair, a young man and woman, they look like siblings. They are hunched over and seem to be crying while a few commoners try to comfort them.

Ciel casts a discreet [Heal] on Roxanne's hand, who seems to be fully regaining her focus. "My head still hurrrtss," she complains.

I walk over to her and pull her chin down so I can give her a soft kiss on her lips. "You did wonderfully, your use of [Heart Of Fire] was perfect."

She smiles adorably and holds my hand tight, her current headache must be making it difficult for her to try to tease us.

Rande and Osaria approach, both of their expressions seem to be stuck in disbelief.

"You did it, you mad man, you actually did it," Rande says lowly.

"Nothing mad about that, I knew our limits," I say with a shrug.

"Right."

Osaria starts to chuckle softly and excuses herself. Rande offers me an awkward handshake, "Thank you, I owe you one," he says and goes back to the caravan.

"Is he going to stop chasing Hana, now? It was kind of fun to watch his thirsty gaze," Alissa says.

"Roxanne is a bad influence on you," Ciel says.

"Ei!" Roxanne straightens and frowns at Ciel, "There's nothing wrong with feeling beautiful when you have men chase you."

"You enjoy making them suffer."

"Well..."

"Is that bad?" Alissa asks with the innocent voice of a maiden.

"Him trying to embarrass Wolfy would get tiring," Lina says and I pat her head as thanks.

Footsteps approach and a familiar face appears, captain Ansara. Brown hair, a handsome face, and a chin so sharp that it could open a can. His armor is a beautiful shining plate with the Lord's heraldry detailed on it.

"Captain Ansara," I say with a nod as he approaches.

"Wolf Ryder, from Helios," he nods back, "Surprised you still remember me."

Hard to forget his handsome face.

Giih?

It's just envy, not that I have much reason to be envious, but still.

"No reason to forget," I say.

He briefly greets the other girls. I see that Klein went to Hana, they are talking while watching Aoi eat some brains, the other soldiers are just watching the scene warily and slightly disgusted.

"So the elementals are yours?" Ansara asks while looking around, impressed.

"Yes, I'm an... accomplished summoner," I smile wryly.

"Well, I see that you are the reason we didn't come out of that [Gate] right below a Giant's foot. Can we speak in private? We have something important to discuss," he smiles softly, all that he needs is a shine in his white teeth.

I think about pulling my built tent but there's a good chance it's smelling of semen so... better not.

We walk back to the watchtower, it's as wide as a house and very tall, though most of the space is air since there's only 3 floors.

A table with drink, cards, and turned over chairs waits for us in the middle. Ansara whispers something to a guard waiting inside and we are left alone.

We sit around the table and Ansara starts, "So, you and your fellowship deserve the most credit for the kill, you allowed us enough time to set up perfectly without a single casualty. Rabanara and my own team owes you a good deal, so ask me anything in my power and I will do it for you," he says and bows graciously.

"Thank you, but we didn't fight for fame or rewards, so we don't know what we could ask for," I answer and he slowly straightens again. I look around and the girls shake their heads.

"The corpse of a Grim Giant has a lot of value, could we get the money for the bounty?" Roxanne asks.

"We don't have a proper bounty for a Grim Giant, since nobody hunts them, but we could still give you a good part of the expected profit," Ansara says, "If you don't want money then how about equipment? Since you are adventurers it never hurts to have more."

Ooh, I got an idea.

"How about an enchanted weapon or shield?" I ask.

"Oh yes, we acquired a few enchanted weapons from smugglers a while ago. We have a pair of shoes with [Weightless Bubble], a mage's robe enchanted with [Earth Armor], a greatsword enchanted with [Sonic Boom], axes enchanted with [Bleed], a few swords with [Double Strike], and a number of shields enchanted with [Dead Zone] and [Wind Shield]."

Jackpot.

I look at Lina and she nods to me.

"How about a shield and the axe?"

Ansara smiles wide, "You know the value of enchantments, don't you?"

"I have my own dwarven enchanter." I put a hand over Lina's shoulder and she smiles proudly.

"I'll take you to the equipment for you to choose then," Ansara says and rises.

"You can choose. Pick one for Hana, she's the most mobile and would benefit the most from the shield," I say and push Lina forward. She shyly follows Ansara outside and they disappear on a [Gate].

It's frightening to think she's suddenly so far away, alone, with a handsome man. After Alissa's disappearance on a teleport trap I think I have gained a deep fear of being stranded due to teleportation.

­

We go outside and breathe in the fresh air, it smells of blood and I see Alissa puts a hand in front of her nose. The soldiers have started to cut down the Giant, they have to use huge saws to cut the limbs of the Giant.

The Earth mages have begun dismantling the shelters they hastily built. They made underground bunkers for people to hide and thick pillars just like mine, this is the standard strategy against Giants, to abuse their clumsiness while preparing something to kill in one strike.

One by one I dismiss the earth elementals, the few people leaning on them quickly disperse once the first one starts to crumble. The earth quickly disappears into nothingness so it's not like they would be crushed by the falling earth.

Hana comes to us with Aoi on her shoulder and a very happy Klein on the other.

"What are you doing?" Roxanne asks.

"Giving her a ride, since she got jealous Wolfy got one," Hana says with a shrug that nearly makes Klein fall.

"Not jealous! I just thought it would be fun," Klein answers with a cute pout.

Roxanne is the one getting jealous of all the attention Klein is getting.

"Aoi, come here," I say and spread my hands to her. With a glide and a hint of mana being used around her wings she falls softly on my hand and curls on my arms. She tries to shove her tongue inside my mouth but I turn my face away in time. "Not in public," I hiss lowly at her.

"Kay," she say with a hint of sadness.

Klein looks at me with wide eyes and a smile slowly forms. "Dragon f-..."

"No!" I interrupt her, "Not you too!"

She giggles and jumps out of Hana's shoulder. Roxanne walks over to Hana and wraps herself on her arms. We sit near the cliff and wait for Lina to come back.

When my jealousy starts to get uncomfortably high a black circle opens behind us, Ansara comes out of it and behind him Lina appears, a long poleaxe in a hand and a long kite shield on the other. Both are too big for her so she awkwardly comes to us and Hana receives both.

"The axe will be difficult to use, but the shield is already perfect," she says while inspecting every inch.

The shield is pure black, it's made of wood, rimmed with metal, and it has a metal boss in the middle. Behind it silver lines and two small jewels, one yellow and one green, near the straps are hidden by a piece of leather.

The axe is what I would call "danish", due to its wide blade in comparison to Lina's, who also works as a hook due to the curve the lower, non-bladed part has. The [Bleed] axe has lots of silver lines at the blade, this means the enchantment might fade with time. At the middle point of the shaft a small red gem is embedded.

"I can copy the ax's enchantment so we shouldn't use it much," Lina says.

"I'll send word to the Lord about what happened here if you don't mind, Mr. Ryder," Ansara says.

"No problem."

"Then that is all, I need to go back to work. I wish a safe journey to you," he bows lightly.

"Keep up the good work and stay safe," I say and wave. The girls give short goodbyes and Ansara leaves. The ballistas are taken back and only the grunts who are dealing with the Giant's corpse are left, a few are entering the Smirk to keep monsters away from the smell of blood.

­

We walk back to the caravan and see the two siblings who started this all looking like zombies.

Ciel gets closer to them and squints her eyes, "Nala, Orian?" She asks.

The two weredogs suddenly jolt awake and stare at Ciel wide-eyed.

"Ciel!" The two exclaim in unison and look at her like two lost puppies.

"You know them?" I ask Ciel softly.

"Orphans from the temple, they are all barely seventeen..." She says with a pained voice, then she crouches in front of them. "By the Gods, what are you doing here?" Her voice is full of grief.

"We..." Nala starts, her ears raise when she speaks but fall flat when she loses her conviction.

"Were exploring the Lapis Waterway when..." Orian Continues, his fluffy tail hangs limp behind him.

"We stumbled upon a nest of Hooknoses..."

"We ran and hid in a cave where they couldn't reach..."

"Then we explored that cave..."

"Where we found the Giant..."

"And we ran again..."

"But Alexa and Daiana couldn't continue.." Orian sniffs and tears runs through his face.

"Then the Giant..." Nala's face distorts in pain, her voice cuts off and she cries loudly.

Ciel opens her arms and pulls both of them into a tight hug, making the three of them touch heads.

Captain Hazeez is awkwardly standing a few meters away, he walks a few steps forward and speaks, "Normally we give heavy fines to people who wake up Grim Giants but this time I think you suffered enough," he says with a sympathetic tone.

Ciel breaks the hug and speaks to them, "Let them rest because they will be waiting for you there, okay?" They nod weakly at her and sniff, she cleans the corner of her eyes and looks to Hazeez, "Captain, can you give them a [Gate] back home? And make sure they go back to the temple?" She asks with a very sweet voice.

Hazeez becomes even more awkward and his face cramps, "Sure..."

"Thank you, Captain," she walks to him and grabs his hand, giving it a squeeze and making his eyes twitch.

I see that the caravan is already moving again, we don't have time to stay and console them.

"Stay safe, please," Ciel gives a hug to each sibling and make them stand up, they nod silently at her but keep their gazes on the ground. Captain Hazeez puts a hand on each of their shoulders and leads them back to the watchtower.

"Sorry, Ciel," I say and grab her by the waist.

She shakes her head and grabs my waist, "They will be fine, they are old enough for that and we have our job to do," she says and smiles bitterly.

Lina grabs Ciel's hand and they both ride the same horse. Roxanne and Hana go for mine and ride together so me and Alissa get the second biggest one while Klein goes to the carriage.

Aoi happily stays in my lap while Alissa controls the reins from behind me. She's being obedient enough to not try anything else, maybe I should give her a little reward later.

­

"Am I going crazy or is she smaller than before?" Klein asks from the window while looking at Aoi, her large eyes look dreamy.

"Secret," I say and put a finger on my lips.

"Muuh," Klein puckers her lips and cutely and groans. Osaria lifts an eyebrow at us, Oura is asleep with a book covering her eyes, Laertes is maintaining his bow and his ears flicker at us, and Rande is just daydreaming, his eyes look forward without focus.

The commoners have been chatty and staring much more at the elementals, now with wonder instead of lewdness.

I see Roxanne and Hana are skirting around the line of "appropriate" behavior. Roxanne's robe has buttons to open the side, allowing her to sit properly at the horse. This also means that it gives easy access to her pants, which Hana has been taking advantage of.

They ride in front so only we can truly see what's going on but the occasional faint lewd sound coming might have alerted others. Hana is being very discreet with her movements but her hand hasn't left from the middle of the legs of Roxanne for a good half hour.

Through [Animal Tongue] I know that the horse they are on is getting excited too, then he turns nervous as he can't do anything about it. Whatever it is that Roxanne's succubus genes does it also affects animals, it seems. I thank the Gods for giving us the ability to masturbate, that horse's existence sounds miserable.

­

We continue our journey slowly. When night comes we can only see a single faint light coming from fortress Erda, we are too far to stay there for the night.

"Couldn't make it in a single day," Rande says with a sigh.

He dismounts awkwardly and barks orders for us to make camp. He shakes his legs, then walks bow-legged and hunched over for a few steps and slowly straightens. Yeah, he had a boner.

I pull out the foldable partition and the bath, I station an earth elemental outside just in case a little shit tries to peek on my goddesses.

Alissa doesn't come to wash me and instead scrubs herself as fast as she can, she only gives me an angry glance and I know what's coming. I scrub myself fast, matching her speed.

She finishes first and sits on the border of the bath, she spread her legs wide and then spreads her pussy. An inviting meal that instantly makes me erect.

"Wolf, fuck me," she orders.

I walk over to her and slap my head on her womb, then I rub my shaft on her slit. She growls like an animal and sinks her nails on my waist with one hand and grips my cock tightly with the other.

I get a little scared at her actions. She aims me on her entrance and pulls my waist with her other.

"AHN!" She yelps loudly immediately. I quickly pull out the gag from my "Items" and shove it on her throat. She grabs my waist and uses me to fuck her, her face distorted in a snarl, a low growl escaping the gag with every thrust.

Savage, she's like an animal and I have already fucked an animal before.

She presses her nails on my skin like she wants to rip me apart. She spits the gag and shows her fangs to me, then she chomps down on my shoulder, using it as more support so she can fuck herself harder.

My cock hurts as she's barely wet enough for this level of violence. I sink my nails on her breasts and she yelps/moans louder. Her fangs pierce my skin and I bleed from my shoulder, I feel her tongue lick my blood.

Alissa is a damn vampire now?

There's something arousing about having her bite me, of wanting me inside her so much she uses her mouth to get what she wants. Such a deep, wild desire to be filled consumed and now she licks my blood, searching for anything mine that could get inside her.

The pain of fucking her raw reduces as she gets wetter and wetter. Her legs shake lightly and her grip on my waist loosens, she's almost orgasming. I force myself to let it go, to push my own orgasm out.

Suddenly her legs wrap around me, pushing me as deep as I can inside her womb. Her whole body shakes, she stops biting me and her back arches sensually, pushing her breasts up.

"AHN!" She yelps loudly.

"HNGH!" I grunt as I cum hard inside her.

I feel a [Heal] on my shoulder followed by a [Clean].

"Thanks... my love," I say, catching my breath.

"You, uh, welcome, my love," Ciel says and enters the bath. Her face is flushed and Lina immediately starts sucking on her breasts.

Alissa's whole body relaxes and she slowly falls into the bath. She smiles, showing her bloody fangs and spreads her legs, letting my cum escape her and float in the bath.

Suddenly Hana pulls Alissa up and chomps down on her pussy to clean her up. After she's done, Alissa comes towards me and hugs me tight.

"I'm really sorry about showing my animal side like this but you teased me way too much," she says and blushes.

I kiss her cute nose and say, "I don't mind, it's nice to see you change once in a while."

"It's impolite to act like this in human form."

Hana snorts and shoves Roxanne's tail up her pussy, "Being part animal or something else is what you are, shouldn't be trying to hide it, you should push it out to let it help you get stronger," she says.

I see through Holly a group of boys sneaking to our position.

"Being animal or human is what we are. We need to learn how to have two sides before we can properly change forms," Alissa says with a frown as she pushes my cock up her ass and my hand up her pussy.

"Then after that you need to learn to be both so you can pick the best of the two sides."

"Hm..." Alissa slows down and thinks. I shove my cock deep inside her and she moans loudly, the boys outside stop and giggle. Her ears flicker, "I heard children, they are close."

"Yeah, just let them come," I say.

She looks at me suspiciously, "You want to add exhibitionism to your fetishes?"

"No, I just want to give them a scare."

Alissa snorts and continues fucking herself.

Hana leans down on the bath and closes her eyes, moaning softly.

Suddenly the earth elemental turns to the children and stomps the ground repeatedly, the children yell in surprise and scatter, one even pissed his pants.

Roxanne surfaces and ends [Water Breathing], "I heard yells," she says.

"It was nothing, continue," Hana says and pushes Roxanne down again.

­

Rande decided to give a Great Boar to the commoners and make a feast. The large, spherical animal was spit roasted and booze started to flow.

Me and Ciel helped out by applying some [Heal]s to the older commoners to help with the pain of the trip. If they liked us before, now we turned into celebrities.

"Master summoner!" A drunk comes towards our table and gives me a cup of not-wine, or whatever this is, "For you! For your elementals are the finest piece of magic I have ever seen!"

He lifts his cup and I lift mine along, "Bottoms up!" Yells another drunk and we chug.

I put on 10 points into [Poison Resistance] so I won't get drunk because of this. More people come and offer me booze so I have to quietly cast [Purify Body] on myself. It seems this had the opposite effect as more people saw I was not getting drunk and decided to just give me more until I did.

I let a bit of alcohol accumulate and exaggerated my drunk acting, then I was finally left alone.

I started to feel bad about Gify eating as much as a grown person so I pulled out some more food for him. His early warning saved us so he at least deserves that.

Klein gets drunk easily and is taken away by Laertes. I see the husky weredog covering her with a blanket and then quickly getting out with a deeper frown than normal on his face.

Roxanne is being nearly molested by Osaria. She's touching Roxanne's hair, leaning dangerously close, touching her hand, letting their thighs touch, running her hand through Roxanne's back. Then Osaria's hand stopped on Roxanne's thigh and stayed there, slowly moving up and closer to her pussy, occasionally her fingers rub softly and lightly.

The dark-skinned milf is wearing even less clothing right now, it's literally a bikini, smaller than the one before. It even shows the form of her nipples and her large dark soft breasts are almost spilling over.

I get an idea and whisper something to Lina, she frowns slightly, then looks at Ciel then at Roxanne. She bites her lips, closes her legs, and rubs her hands along her thighs. She finally nods shyly but I still see some fear in her eyes, fear that slowly gives room to lust and depravity.

Roxanne is getting drunker and drunker while my dick gets harder and harder. Osaria sends me a kiss when Roxanne is not looking and I get up. I walk to Roxanne and cast [Purify Body].

"Oh, Mr. Ryder, please join us," Osaria's voice is dripping with sensuality. She grabs my thigh and pushes me forward, her fingers brushing on my dick.

"I apologize but I think she's had enough," I say and pull a sobering Roxanne up, she immediately casts [Conjure Water] on her own mouth and groans as the fog in her head dissipates.

Hana, that's sitting beside Roxanne, smiles and winks at me. Rande didn't back down and is now giving her expensive elven alcohol after expensive elven alcohol. I bring Roxanne to sit with us and the moment Rande's hand touches Hana's thigh she rises and comes to join us.

"I think I just drank a few gold coins," Hana says, gushing with happiness. She lifts me and lowers me on her lap, a hand immediately goes up my shirt to caress my body while the other rests on my thigh, lightly touching my stiff cock.

I look at Rande and see his expression frozen, almost sour. Then he rises and finds Nito, they both go to the carriage where Oura is sleeping.

"Had fun?" I ask Hana.

"Yes, thanks Wolfy," she says and kisses my neck repeatedly. "Thanks for trusting me, too, not that many men would let another chase his wife like this."

I shrug, "Every once in a while sounds harmless, specially when you can use him to get free expensive alcohol."

"I would rather not play these games," Ciel says with a frown, "specially that one," she points to Roxanne, who jolts awake and takes a nervous glance towards Osaria.

"Alright, let's keep it contained," I say. Ciel softens, Alissa's tail stops swaying, and Lina looks troubled.

­

We retreat to our tent and I spread 7 elementals around: 2 fire, 2 earth, and 3 nature since they have good night vision. Holly is out and I'm feeling comfortable enough to not use a Shad.

As we take our clothes out Ciel drops down on the bed, feeling a little too tired. I climb over her and fill her neck with kisses, then I lower to her back, [Massaging] her spine. When I reach the lower end she's already closing her eyes in pleasure.

I knead her large ass and [Massage] my way down her thick thighs, then to her calves and finally I reach her feet, that she happily offers for me to suck.

I play with them a little but I let Hana take over that. I spread Ciel's ass cheeks and shove my tongue down her delicious dark asshole, making her moan and giggle.

She squirms and her breath gets heavier. She grabs her own breasts and start to suck on them, then she opens her eyes.

Roxanne is staring at Ciel while Lina has her eyes closed. Roxanne's tail is slowly making her way up Lina's thighs, tickling her while Roxanne's fingers slowly play with Lina's labia majora, slowly inching closer to her minora.

Ciel tenses and I feel her asshole puckers. She completely freezes and watches as Roxanne makes her way towards Lina's pussy with an evil smile.

Meanwhile Alissa is already masturbating like the degenerate she is.

I spread Ciel's ass cheeks wider and see her pussy getting wet. I shove a finger inside both holes and a stressful moan escapes Ciel.

Roxanne's tail touches Lina's lips, spreading them slowly while entering delicately, Ciel breathes in and clenches her fists. I pull out my fingers and spread lube on my dick, then I push it inside her ass, the tightness is extreme. She moans again as I finally pierce her resistance and orgasms, I push my finger inside her pussy and it leaves with delicious cream that I lick.

Roxanne turns Lina's head and kisses her, Lina receives the kiss and opens her little mouth. Their tongues entwine, Roxanne's tail fucks Lina and her fingers play with the little girls clit, meanwhile Ciel experiences first-hand the pleasure/pain/degeneracy of NTR.

While I fuck Ciel and bring her to multiple orgasms she keeps her eyes glued to Lina, who fucks Roxanne like a thirsty little whore.

On the third orgasm Ciel collapses and I let it out all over her back. She barely moves after Alissa cleans her, only crawls further in the bed and clamps her mouth on Lina's. They end up sleeping with their noses touching.

Too tired for anything else, I fall asleep with Aoi in my arms, a dangerous position to be in.

­

I wake up in the middle of the night, Holly is making warning sounds in my head, 5 Grassland Goblins are sneaking closer. These are smaller and more silent than the average one, they like to hide in the tall grass and prowl about.

I silently push Aoi to the side and untangle myself from the mess of naked bodies, this time we didn't have the energy to sleep in armor. As I walk to the entrance of the tent suddenly Alissa straightens, her eyes open wide in shock. She quickly and silently comes to me, then she hugs my arm tight.

"Why are you up?" She asks softly.

"Goblins, I'll just tell the elementals where they are."

"Oh... well you scared me, leaving me alone on the bed like that."

"Sorry," I smile wryly and kiss her nose.

Holly can see the goblins so I call her back and tell her to show their location to the elementals. Two get stomped, two get strangled, and the last one tries to run but dies burned alive while screaming. Unfortunately he woke up the rest of the camp, so I spent a few more annoying minutes assuring everyone that the goblins were dead.

"Wolfy~?" Roxanne asks groggily as I lay down on the bed.

"Yes?"

"What was that?"

"Goblins, they are dead now."

"Thank yoo~..."

­

Today is the 6th.

I feel my whole body tingle, a slight caress that playfully stimulate my senses. My lips part and mouth is filled, I feel something snake inside and carefully taste every inch of my mouth, my palate, my teeth, my gums. I wish to suck on it, to have it fill me more, to caress me harder and faster, to swallow it all inside of me.

My nipples tingle, my body is played with, my penis is massaged by something slick and warm, so very warm.

I open my eyes slowly and see the twirl of color from Aoi's red and blue eyes, they stare at me like a mischievous child stealing from the cookie jar. I feel her scales on as she lays on top of me, they wave slowly, tickling my entire body but focus on my nipples.

With one hand I grab her head and push her deeper, she chuckles girlishly and increases the intensity of her massage. I caress the small bumps of her spine with the other hand, this always delights her and makes her close her eyes in happiness.

The depravity of being inside her fills me with energy and I pump my waist. A moan escapes and I feel something is wrong, I see a mane of wavy red hair. I regain focus in my eyes and see from behind Aoi that Hana is mounting me.

I'm not fucking Aoi and that nearly made me go limp. I close my eyes and focus on the feeling I had. To fuck a dragon would be the most badass thing someone could ever do, I'll be the manliest man that ever manlied. Making a force of nature like a real dragon get addicted to my cock would be my magcum opus.

I imagine the feeling of Aoi's pointy teeth rubbing on my shaft, her slick tongue then wraps around my shaft, her dangerous head just a few centimeters from biting off my dick. Then I release it all inside her long mouth and she swallows all she can with happiness.

After the first meal is done, I use my whole body to pin her down, I feel her dripping cunt ready for mating. My barbed dick penetrates her forcefully, she struggles, trying to bite me while I mate with her.

My claws sink on her flesh, my wings wrap us together, my dick inflates and knots inside her, letting my semen impregnate her. I bite on her shoulder and leave my mark, showing to all others who she belongs to. I savor the taste of her blood on my long tongue, the metallic taste mixed with the rich mana that has her mark.

I plunge my cock inside Hana's womb and flood it. Aoi's tongue slows down and slowly withdraws, leaving me wanting for more.

"You got pretty excited there, Dragon Fucker," Roxanne says with a smirk.

No, that's wrong, there's a better one, a proper one, a right one.

"'Father of Dragons', that's the one I want," I say.

"Hm?" Aoi tilts her head at me.

"I'll give you many children, Aoi, we will make a new race of dragons."

Fucking hell, now I want to be a dragon. That feeling I got from her wasn't normal, but it felt damn good.

"Kweeh!" She cries happily.

Hana slides off of me with a satisfied smile and Alissa digs her morning meal out of Hana's pussy.

There's some truth about Alissa's and Hana's words on the animal side. It was exhilarating; whatever connection I formed with Aoi, I felt like I could fly forever or rip and tear through hordes of monsters. But it was also consuming, like it was hard to control and I would lose myself to the feral side.

Was that you, Gify?

Gih.

Well, don't do it without my consent, that was just a glimpse and it felt overwhelming.

Gih.

­

We prepare ourselves and eat a simple morning breakfast. I drink a lot of not-earl-grey with not-vanilla biscuits so I have more energy. Waking up in the middle of the night disrupted my sleep.

"Feeling better, Ciel?" I ask and give her hand a light squeeze.

"Wha-... Oh, so yesterday was you trying to console me?" She narrows her eyes and pouts.

"It helped, right? At least you came repeatedly from that," I give her a cheeky smile.

She sighs and looks at Lina, who gets flustered and keeps her eyes down, "That was the most depraved thing I have ever done, I'm not proud of it but it did feel good..." Her voice fades the more she speaks and her face cramps.

"See? It's filthy, depraved but so, so, so, damn, good," Alissa says, her last words cause a shiver on her. "I advise to not overdo it, it's also draining."

"You never told me it was draining," I say to Alissa.

"I just had a lot of energy to drain," she smiles adorably.

"Or you are just a filthy slut," Roxanne says casually.

"That I am."

­

When we come out the sun finished rising out of the mountains. The commoners are finishing picking up their things so we just mount our horses and start clearing the area.

This time Roxanne is with me, she uses the most perfume so it's always a pleasure to hug her.

I see Osaria smiling suggestively at us and I quickly move to the front.

"You enjoyed being molested?" I ask Roxanne.

Roxanne groans lowly and hugs me tighter, "It's not as fun as you think, Wolfy, too many women think we succubus are sluts who fuck anybody. It doesn't help that some are, but not all."

"Oh right, you said that once, didn't you? Sorry about that," I cringe a little.

"You don't have to apologize. And it's not like I don't enjoy it, but I don't want to be seen as unfaithful, or like I'm disrespecting you. I don't have the same courage as Hana to play around with Rande."

"What about that thing about us fucking in front of Sonny?"

"That's..." I look back and see her biting her lips in embarrassment, "Just a wild, depraved fantasy."

"And you fucking Lina yesterday?"

"Well, Lina is Lina, she's different, she's family, someone I can trust. And I actually do love her, a little."

"Awn..."

Roxanne seems a little flustered, "Don't tell her that..."

"Sure..."

"Wolfy~!"

"What are you talking about?" Hana comes over with Klein.

Roxanne grips my chest and I feel her heart beat faster. "Nothing important," she says.

"She told me something embarrassing," I say and both the girls look at me evilly.

"Wolfy..." Roxanne's hand wraps around my neck and squeeze threateningly.

"Well, just pester her until she tells you about it," I say and shrug, her nail digs on my skin painfully for a moment and she releases me.

The tall grass becomes short, then it becomes moss that becomes rock. The path turns more vertical then starts to snake so we can climb more efficiently. Fort Erda slowly becomes visible, a huge blue-gray wall built in the crack of the mountain range. Down below there's a small town built around it.

To our right, a small brook runs close making soft calming sounds of running water. It snakes down and disappears among rocks, it reappears again near The Smirk only to disappear again inside the Shore of Leaves.

To our left we see raised earth, showing the different layers of sediment. The emperor at the time used [Fissure] to widen the opening of the mountain, allowing for the army to pass more easily, then he closed it again partially, leaving part of the ground cracked and raised.

"Was it emperor or empress that widened fort Erda?" I ask Lina.

"I think it was Emperor Sofos, his daughter Phystosa was the one who lead the creation of the Shore of Leaves. It was when Rabanara was founded that she became Empress," she answers. "The books says they had to rebuild the entire fort town since it was merely a small elven garrison to keep the foot monsters away."

I look at the mountain, I can see the continuous snow peaks get suddenly interrupted by a large crack. The fortress wall is still small in comparison to the mountain range but it's measured at 200 meters, so it's only "small". I notice the wall is curved towards us, it's made this way so it can survive Grim Giant sieges.

"Ooh, so you are a historian?" Klein asks, her dreamy eyes open wide.

"Not really... I just read a lot," Lina says.

"More than the average person so you could call yourself an amateur historian," I say.

"Do you like to read, Klein?" Ciel asks.

"No!" She says proudly and thumps her modest chest.

"She likes to play around," Hana says and chuckles. "You still visiting the orphanages?"

"Always, a few kids call me 'pretty miss' so I give them candy once in a while, the ones who call me 'squeaky monkey' only get dried goblin ears."

Like, Santa?

Alissa, Ciel, and Klein start to talk about orphans and the games they play. Meanwhile I summon two air elementals to keep the Dragolites from harassing us, they make nests near the mountains and so they fly over caravans like vultures waiting for an opportunity.

­

At 9AM we reach the Fort. It's dirtier, muddier, and colder than Rabanara, but the view from here is amazing and we didn't even go up the wall. Colored squares make a patchwork of farms, each color looks vibrant under the sun; further we see Rabanara and the castle, the flag on top a barely perceptible waving square; further than that there's the Sea of Trees, endless waves of green; I think I can see where the Tree of Mana is, but the blue mist of the long distance makes it hard to see.

"There's dwarven-like houses inside the mountain, you can see the light shining out of them at night," Lina says.

"Can we go there?" I ask.

Lina's eyes light up, "Yes, we might have enough time."

I pull out an Emergency Ring and give it to Rande.

"Once you get near the exit send us a signal and we will join you," I tell him and he gives me a slightly annoyed nod.

We dismount and move towards the gate, the 10 meters-high wall looks like a palisade in front of the real wall behind it.

The soldiers are now a mix of imperial and local, the imperial ones wear red cloaks, the higher rank ones have yellow or white details on them. They use more metal than the ones on Rabanara, a few even walk with plate and metal kite shields.

The soldier that sees our town pass raises an eyebrow but let us pass without problem. Klein is held back for a few minutes and then joins us.

"Is it okay for you to be away from the caravan?" Hana asks.

"I'm just there to kill monsters, I don't think he trusts me to keep cargo safe," Klein answers and shows her tongue mischievously.

­

The inside of the town is made out of brick buildings. Though they aren't the same color as the imperial style, they still retain the same form. Some of the wealthier buildings are painted the right colors.

The ground lacks grass so there's mud, dust, and soot everywhere. This is one of the few quarries and mines in this part of the continent so it's quite busy. The miners look almost like adventurers walking around in armor with picks instead of swords, monsters like to appear inside mines so it's a dangerous job. Plenty of forges and refineries work non-stop, the quality of the metal is good but it's not the most expertly crafted armor around.

I notice a considerable amount of dwarves here, still in the minority, but much more than Rabanara.

We pass by many inns until we reach the real wall, then we enter a large dimly lit tunnel bustling with wagons carrying raw material, most of it going towards the north instead of Rabanara.

The other side is very different, not only is it much bigger but it's also much more organized and clean. There's elven buildings mixed with the imperial ones, houses made entirely out of the trunk of a tree. They inflate the tree trunk using [Grow] until it is at the appropriate size and then hollow it out. The small tree crowns on top of the thick trunk look adorable, like a little green hat on a large spherical brown head.

Lina looks around until she finds a very small building with the banner, "[Gate] services", there's two doors, one with "In" and another with "Out" written on top.

An old man with a crystal ball waits inside the "In" room.

"Commercial area inside the mountain, please," Lina asks shyly.

The old man grunts and points to a large scale that fits all of us plus some more. Then all of us put a finger on a crystal ball and a number is shown on the old man's tablet. Both were measuring our weight and the weight of our [Item Box]es, the total fee was nearly a silver for each of us.

We touch the black circle and we are taken to a completely different place. We leave the "Out" room and look around.

We are in a large cave, the ceiling is high and filled with colored small twinkling lights. The buildings are all blocky and full of carvings, sharp angles and geometrical patterns being the trend, some buildings have glowing mushrooms on top. The streets are wide and made of cement. The magic tool lights and the humidity give a rather gloomy atmosphere.

The air is much more chilly and there's a constant breeze coming out of single direction.I see a small light coming out of there, must be the exit to the top of the wall.

"Good thing we are wearing armor," Roxanne says.

We all deactivate our [Breeze] and look at Klein. Her small shorts, bare midriff, and exposed arms don't look very comfortable.

"Wolf, give her my fur cloak," Alissa says.

I flicker through my "Items" for a bit until I finally find it, a black cloak lined with dark brown fur, simple but elegant.

"T-thank you," Klein says with her teeth chattering, she accepts it without hesitation.

"Do you ever wear armor?" Hana asks.

"Only at the High Forest."

"What about you, Aoi, feeling cold?"

The little dragon huffs flame and smiles, showing fangs, then gives me a lick on the cheek and goes back to coiling herself around my neck.

­

We walk down the street, the buildings are mostly restaurants and tea shops. I see one that screams of "homemade food" and stop at the front.

"Let's have lunch, we are paying," I say and add the last part with a glance towards Klein.

She awkwardly scratches her monkey ears and nod, "Thanks, Mr. Ryder," she says shyly.

"Just call me Wolf."

"Sure thing!"

We enter the restaurant and a plump brown-haired young dwarven woman comes to greet us, Lina's gloomy eyes instantly light up. The woman looks young but I see the signs of dwarven age, slow movements, tired eyes, slightly spotty skin, awkward gait.

"Welcome to the Mycelial Spice, I am Bia, how can I help you?"

"Do you have a table by the window?" Alissa asks.

"Sure, there's a balcony over there, it's covered by windows so you do not need to worry about the wind."

"Do you have Dodlig soup?" Lina asks.

She smiles warmly at Lina, "Yes, we have that. We also have raw Giftig salad for dwarves, boiled Giftig for the other races," her eyes flicker to Hana, who smirks, "Fried Oatlig with beef, and Osmaltbar pudding."

Lina drools absentmindedly.

"We can have it all and share if it's too much," I say and the girls nod.

­

The view on the balcony is amazing, we are looking at the Goldcross side. Steps of paddies of something that's not rice fill the mountain all the way down until it reaches Goldcross very far in the distance, a sprawling city shining gold in the sunlight, seemingly larger than Rabanara.

To the west of Goldcross the terrain angles again until the road reaches Fort Katakti on the Rakontagne mountain range, which continues north much further than we can see. To the northwest of Goldcross there's only a small belt of farms that turn into grassland until the landscape turns blue and we can't see anything anymore, but we will be able to see the High Forest from Goldcross once we get there.

Our food comes and our stomachs rumble, even though we are having an early lunch.

In the paddies a thick algae grows, it's quite watery and is eaten raw as salad or as seasoning, tasting similar to zucchini. We order both chips and salad of the algae. Fried Oatlig has a very earthy taste, something like a non-spicy chili mix with a hint of coffee. Osmaltbar has a faint bittersweet taste, remind me of carob when I ate it nearly raw once.

We get a bitter stout beer to go with, though except for Lina we only drink a cup. I don't really like alcohol but I can recognize when it goes well with the food and this one was on the spot.

Bia occasionally looks at us curiously as we eat, it's not every day you get a troupe of women, a young boy, a little obedient dragon, and a cute nature spirit as customers.

Gih!

­

"Did any of you come here when you passed through the Fort?" I ask the girls.

Alissa and Hana shake their heads. "Slave," Alissa says.

"We had very little money at the time so we just passed through here quickly," Lina says.

"We left Rabanara in the morning on horses and entered Goldcross at night, staying here long wasn't interesting," Ciel says.

"I came through Fort Reita and it wasn't much different from this one. I also didn't spend long and just passed right through," Roxanne says.

"You don't really talk about your days with the Templars," Alissa says to Ciel.

She smiles bitterly, "I'm just like Wolfy, easier to avoid ever talking about it."

Klein looks at us confused, her dreamy eyes blinking repeatedly, "You were a Templar?" She asks.

"Kind of, Honorary Templar was my title, I was just a... well, a potential lover for one," Ciel blushes slightly.

"Ooh! That's amazing! We were escorted by some Wandering Knights once and it was a breeze, they were so strong and skilled I thought my heart would melt! But when I talked to them they were kind of uptight, not my type," she shows her tongue and tilts her head in a pose.

"Most of them are, you don't get to be a Templar if your manners lacks polish," Ciel says and smiles wryly.

"What kind of Templar were you following?"

"A standard Platoon. We were focused on hunting monsters or the Wicked before we were ambushed by a swarm of Dream Eaters and we fell apart."

"Awn... I'm sorry to hear that."

"We fought Dream Eaters before, I would rather not do it again," Hana says solemnly.

"To meet a swarm in the wild is incredibly rare."

"We were going to investigate a Lord that was being incompetent in keeping the monsters at bay, ironically we were attacked by the same monsters the Lord was supposed to exterminate," Ciel says and looks out the window wistfully.

"What happened to that Lord?" Klein asks.

"After we got the word to the other Templars about what had happened, he was executed along with his wife and Chosen Descendant."

Klein cringes and looks away.

"How was the Templar that you loved?" I ask Ciel.

"Well, I already told you that," she answers and rubs her arm awkwardly.

I lean over the table and grab her hand, "But you haven't told us much detail." I give her a squeeze. "Please...?" I beg in the most adorable tone I can.

Ciel puckers her lips and thinks for a few seconds, then she leans on her chair and I release her hand.

"Well, the thing I remember most about him was his smile, it was just so wide and white. With a square face and large chin he looked like one of those naked statues the weird Lords like to stare at," she giggles softly as she reminisces.

"What statues?" I ask.

"Well, some nobles like to look at muscular, perfectly defined male bodies. They act like the body is a piece of art," Hana says, "Most that act like that are men with a taste in other men, the rest are the muscle brains who like to look at men similar to themselves."

Ciel starts to blush lightly, "Your view is a little narrow but yes, he was kind of a muscle brain too."

"How did you go from a muscle brain to, well, no offense Wolf, but him?" Klein says incredulous while pointing at me.

"None taken."

"She got better taste," Roxanne says in a sultry voice that awakens lower me.

Alissa and Lina nod in agreement.

"I was young and stupid... and horny," Ciel says and giggles louder.

"So he was kind of like Rande?" Alissa asks.

"Oh no, Rande is too proud of himself, Macht was much more down-to-the-ground, he was more of a charismatic joker."

"So you got seduced by a dashing and charismatic warrior with the body of a hero and dropped everything to follow him?" Roxanne teases while lifting her eyebrows repeatedly.

"I wasn't-..." Ciel starts but stops herself and goes quiet, her face goes redder and redder.

"She did say she was young, stupid, and horny," Hana says with a smirk.

Ciel drinks the rest of her beer in one go, "Let's change the topic, please!" She pleads.

­

We remain there waiting for a long time, the restaurant is only slowly getting full so we are not hogging a table that someone else could be using.

Then at 11AM we get a green signal from Rande and go back down with much regret. Laertes glares at me, it was so sudden that it nearly made me stop in my tracks, I guess my closeness to Klein is getting to him.

This could get awkward.

­

As we leave the gates I look back and see a mansion protruding out of the mountain, that's the Lord's house, Ankara's parents. I didn't think they would raise a stink with us but I'm glad nothing happened.

The path down the Fort is long and snaking. To our left we see the paddies where farmers slowly work, a small burst of mana comes out of them once in a while as they use magic to make the plants grow faster. To our right we see a few farms protected by high walls, the monsters come from that side often so only the more hardened farmers stay.

As we go down the snaking slope we move much faster than before, but it's still a long way down, much more than we went up. Goldcross slowly disappears from our sight as the horizon lowers and the air gets much more humid and hot.

The right side starts to get less rocky and more wet, the moss and dirt become grass that quickly becomes marsh. Over there is the Elven Wetlands, or Antano in the native tongue.

­

"We will arrive by night, barely making it," Klein comments.

The road is getting more and more crowded as farmers, adventurers, and soldiers go towards the town. At least we don't have to work on this stretch as any monsters approaching were already taken care of far from us.

"It looks like the town might get crowded," I say.

"It will, it's why Mom and Dad are already holding an inn there for us."

"Won't the other towns in the High Forest also be crowded?" Roxanne asks. "Goloria was packed when I went there."

"Goloria maybe, but before we reach there... not so much," Klein says with a slight cringe.

"We only heard rumors, how are things really like over there?" Hana asks.

"The territory under Crown Lord Este is suffering, they aren't handling the amount of monsters and bandits very well."

I come closer to Hana and Klein's horse and ask in a low tone, "Is the Lord's problem related to how Rande fell from being a noble?"

Klein glances at Rande, who's talking to his mother, "No, that was a few years ago, before I joined. I heard that Lord Este's problems are actually the other high elven Lords."

"So he fell to a conspiracy?"

"Falling, he's still holding on but I think even the empire is getting annoyed at the disruption on the High Road."

"With the fall of Aremut the emperor must be getting very nervous," Lina says.

ld "He would be the worst emperor in history if he lost two territories under his reign," Roxanne says with a laugh.

"And two very important ones too. Aremut is important for attuned weapons, the High Forest is important for magical wood and as a trade route," Ciel says.

"And skin-care products," Roxanne adds.

"How's the situation over there? I hardly know anything about Aremut," I ask.

"Well the undead took over the entire kingdom, and did nothing after that..." Klein shrugs.

"The army is keeping the place on lock down, they say they can't get inside because the undead's corruption is too high," Lina says.

"In the entire kingdom?" I ask and she nods. "How could they even do that? The corruption only lasts when there's an undead present."

Lina shrugs and the others follow when I look at them.

"There's a way to stop it with mobile [Sanctuari]es," Ciel says, "But it's hard to cover an army with it so only small expeditions managed to get inside the City of the Damned."

Lina's Trivia: The City is actually called Spita Bureya but since the kingdom fell the spirits of the area became distorted and malicious, they attack the mind and inflict suffering upon others who come close. The description of the area is on par with a dark and haunted land so the new name became popular quite quickly.

"I heard the only thing the undead changed inside the City was that they added a new tower," Klein says like an old woman talking about gossip.

"That sounds ominous," I say and look at Alissa, who smiles, and Ciel, who frowns.

"Aremut is right next to Mountainhome, maybe we could cross the Atskild mountain range and take a look," Alissa says with a smirk.

Klein coughs and looks at Alissa wide eyed, her brown tail is straight up, tickling Hana's face. "What!? Are you one of those mad adventurers who enters unmanaged dungeons just for a thrill?" Klein's voice cracks a little, then she cleans her throat and recomposes herself. Her tail leaves Hana's face who seemed to enjoy it.

"We are looking for a dungeon to conquer so, maybe? A little?" Hana says with a shrug.

"At least half," Ciel says with a snort.

"Kweh! Kill, undead, they, taste, bad!"

Klein looks at all of us slack-jawed.

"Gih, guh... gih."

Gify doesn't like to fight but he likes to watch.

"Why did you say it like it was sex joke?" Alissa asks Gify, whose beak curves in a smile.

Klein knits her eyebrows, "Doesn't the spirit's mind get molded after the one who tamed them?" She asks.

They all turn to me and I smile faintly. "Wait! Gify is more independent than others spirits, you could say he still has his own personality," I try to defend myself.

"Uh huh... the things you do to me make me think otherwise," Alissa says with narrowed eyes.

Sadistic-Alissa is coming out!

Klein's eyes dart between me and Alissa.

"Look at his face, Klein, that's the face of a sadistic sex-fiend, a monster who abuses his slaves daily," Hana says in a low tone on Klein's ears, her pupils dilate and her eyes glue to me in fear. Hana's voice turns into a barely understandable whisper, "he made me bleed on my first time and didn't even stop, he enjoyed the blood."

"H-Hana, that's a bit too far, we didn't do it like that. Y-you are scaring her," I say and force a smile.

"Oh?" She raises her head and smirks, "So you didn't spread our assholes wide until we bled and kept fucking us? Even when we cried?"

"N-no, not like that..."

Roxanne hugs me tighter and licks my face. "This taste... is the taste of a liar!"

"Wolf Ryder, you monster," Ciel starts, barely containing her smile. "You stole my innocence, then abused me and held me in place while my lover was being taken by another right in front of my eyes!"

Klein looks at Ciel and frowns, "Oh..." Her posture relaxes as realization kicks in, "So you guys really are weirdos... damn you, Hana, I trusted you."

Hana snickers evilly and hugs Klein tight, her hand drifts dangerously close to the border of Klein's shorts. "We are fun weirdos, Wolfy is very open-minded so we just play around quite often," her voice turns suggestive at the last few words.

"Better to have fun now since we all might die horribly tomorrow," I say.

Alissa looks at me oddly, "Rather morbid for you."

"Bad things happen, we must enjoy the now until the bad things disrupt our fun." I shrug.

"Sounds better."

"You sound like a priest of Love," Klein says with a chuckle.

Ciel puckers her lips a little sourly and looks away.

As we talk, Hana's hands trace circles below Klein's belly button, making her breathe heavier, while the other hand slowly inches upwards until it's covered by Klein's shirt. As I see her nipples poke through her shirt I get the confirmation that she doesn't wear a sash or bra.

Hana's hand squeezes Klein's ribs, making her gasp lightly as it slowly inches upwards. Hana leans over and breathes down Klein's neck, her emerald scales rubbing on the brown monkey ears.

Klein arches her back and raises her head higher, rubbing her cheek against Hana's. She closes her eyes and bites her lip, her hands grab Hana's thigh strongly as her hips move back and forth, trying to rub herself on the saddle.

Hana's hand drifts upwards and squeezes the right breast, making Klein moan softly. Her arm angles upwards and makes the shirt rise up, exposing a brown underboob. The other hand enters her shorts, then Klein suddenly grabs both hands and pushes them away. With a heavy breath she merely glances at all of us, a small smile forms but is quickly suppressed.

Ciel and Roxanne aren't pleased, though they look rather anxious instead of angry.

Okay, we really need to talk about Klein tonight.

­

The rest of the way is a little awkward as we turn silent and Klein's excitement slowly dies, it is then replaced by full-blown embarrassment. I only glance at Laertes once and see he's at the window of the carriage, glaring at me, so I don't look again.

Goldcross slowly becomes fully visible again as dusk comes and the commoners give happy but tired cries. The light yellow wall is just as high as Rabanara's, covering most buildings from our view but I still see the orange shingles and cute leafy crowns from the imperial and elven styles. There's no castle in this town but there's still the Lord's mansion that will peek above the houses once we get on the main street.

There's some people building a part of the wall a ways to the right of the town, an extension to the city. When you have [Earth Magic] to help, building and tearing down walls is not a very hard job.

The town blocks our view of the High Forest but we can see the peaks of the Ultirei's Tomb artificial mountain far behind the town. It looks like a rusty, giant, jagged meat cleaver.

As we finally approach the line to enter town, the night has already come. The psychedelic moon is fully visible in the night sky, the blue one is shining bright.

The ambiance is a symphony of crickets, there weren't many bugs in the Shore of Leaves and I was thankful for that. Crickets are not something I missed from Earth, if those things can even be called crickets. If horses are carnivorous and huge in this world, then what are the insects like?

Once the wagons park behind a caravan in front, the commoners cheer and Rande turns his horse around. "As of now my contract has been fulfilled and you are safe, you can leave and go wherever you want," he announces to them.

We dismount our horses and plenty of commoners come give a goodbye to us. Though, quite a lot seem very interested in getting near Aoi and Gify so they can give them a pat, not that I, or the two, actually dislike it.

"Thank you, young ones, you helped me a lot. My hips are barely hurting from this trip," says an old human woman who bows to me and Ciel.

Ciel moves to the woman and gives her a small [Heal], "Now they shouldn't hurt anymore, right?"

"Oh, ooh... thank you, my Grand healer! Thank you! How may I ever repay you?!" The woman's face lights up and she bows.

"Please, just continue as you are and offer help to the temple once in a while," Ciel says, she pulls the woman straight and gives her hand a squeeze.

"Certainly! I could cook for the orphans my own vegetable stew, just like you love it, hm?" She looks over to the young man beside her.

"Y-yes grandma, I'm sure they would love it..." The young man says and they leave.

As the commoners finally leave, Osaria approaches us with a sway on her hips. Oura and a now calm Laertes follow behind.

"I will show you the inn," Osaria says in her sultry voice.

­

We spend a few minutes on customs waiting for the others and finally we move on. After the military buildings, the taverns become numerous, all bustling with activity. We already see a few drunks being kicked out.

The amount of demon race walking around dropped drastically while the elves increased to make up the difference. The elves are mostly the silver kind, they are about the same height as humans but skinnier and much, much easier on the eyes. They say the elves have a "curse of beauty" which makes them all look beautiful but also very similar. I see there's some truth to that, or just that the elves don't usually marry outside of their race, keeping their gene pool small.

The town is very orderly and well-built, the architect seems to love square blocks, the town is a perfect grid. It's completely different from Rabanara's crooked buildings, twisting dark alleys, and varied architectural styles. It's cozy and nice but I still prefer Rabanara, a perfect neighborhood feels fake to me.

­

We reach the inn, the Shining Lake, a larger building not very different from the ones around.

"What kind of room did you ask for us?" I whisper to Hana.

"The biggest."

Oh yes.

The interior is the same like any other inn, the first floor is the dining room, where a large number of patrons are eating their dinners to the sound of a lute. The bard might be the most interesting thing around, a beautiful werecat woman wearing the elven standard bikini with a few pieces of cloth hanging.

Out of a seat a really large man comes out and walks with a confident stride towards us.

"Klein!" The black mass of muscles exclaims.

Okay, we really need to talk about Klein.

"Dad!" She answers back and rushes to hug him.

The man is a wereape, gorilla if I were to make a guess. His head is bald and shining with pure black skin, he has pieces of fur coming out of the back of his hand, small ears, beady little eyes on his huge square face, a low brow that gives him a perpetual frown, large pointy teeth easily seen from behind his smile, logs for legs and arms that he proudly displays in his tight shirt, and enviable amounts of facial and chest hair.

Klein launches herself into his arms and he carries her like one carries a twig.

"Oohohoh... how has my little girl behaved?" He asks, his voice is a loud low rumble that even catches the attention of the other patrons.

"Like always, a mischievous monkey, but an adorable one," Osaria says and the wereape bellows a single laugh.

He glances at Laertes and his face gives him pause.

"Hello, Klein," says a very soft voice coming out of the side of the wereape, it's a very small weremonkey woman. Shorter than Klein, she has paler skin and fur but still looks very similar to her daughter, with a more delicate and mature look in comparison to the bubbly, cute young woman. Her tail is also much shorter than Klein's, it's an odd thing since wereapes don't have tails.

"Hey, Mom!"

"Anton, Krista, this is Helios, the fellowship we hired as main escort," Osaria introduces us.

We share a quick introduction, Anton doesn't shake anyone's hands except Hana's. His huge meat club he calls a hand looks very threatening and makes me afraid for the integrity of the bones in my hand.

"Good to see you well, Hana. Didn't expect to meet you again so soon," Anton says in a nostalgic tone.

"Good to see you too, big man. It's going to be just like old times," Hana answers with her characteristic smile.

"I hope so, or not, you were really reckless back then," Krista chimes in.

"I... got better," she glances back to us, "I have more people to protect now."

Anton chuckles softly and Krista nods in understanding.

The greetings continue and like everyone who meets Aoi, they seem surprised at her ability to speak. Though they look much more interested in Gify.

"So, Helios," Anton starts loudly with an upbeat tone and everyone looks at him, even a few patrons, "You can now trust me to keep whatever is on the wagons safe while you hunt down any monsters that could threaten us. On the contrary of Rande, I can actually use a battleaxe and cleave my way through nearly anything, so you don't have to rely on his enchantment working against everything," he finishes with a thumbs up and a wink of his small left eye.

There's no remaining doubt in my mind about who is Klein's father.

"It certainly won't help against Weepers," Krista says in a more normal tone.

Osaria rolls her eyes discreetly and speaks, "Right, thank you for your work, Anton. Anyway, we'll be leaving in two days so we will meet up at the north gate on sunrise, around 6AM, I believe."

"I'll let you rest, your trip must have been tiring, shouldn't have fought anything dangerous over there, but still," Anton says and bows softly while Osaria and Oura walk away.

"Well... heheh..." Klein laughs softly and Krista looks at her with an eyebrow raised. "We had an interesting fight, but anyway, let them rest. Oh, yes! Can we see you all tomorrow?"

"Sure thing," I say and everyone nods, calmly, though I see Hana's scales twitch.

As we leave towards the bathhouse behind the inn I see them sit back down at their table and Laertes joins them.

­

We reserve a bath for ourselves and with a sigh I finally take off all of my armor. Staying all day on a horse isn't so uncomfortable when you have [Heal] and [Regeneration] to deal with the pain but it's still physically tiring and it doesn't stop the pain from coming in the first place.

Hana gets Ciel and Lina to wash her at the same time, they both stare at Hana like someone stares at a piece of art.

I slowly wash Roxanne and she strikes poses for me while my hand glides through her unnaturally white and perfect skin. After Alissa quickly washes Aoi, who doesn't really enjoy this part, she starts to feel a little left out so Hana washes her in return, then the washing quickly turns into savage finger fucking.

As we enter the bath, Alissa grunts and collapses, she's left on the ground by Hana like a used doll. It takes a full minute until she's strong enough again to enter the bath with us.

"So, Ciel, Hana, how about you two use your breasts at, uh, the same time?"

Ciel looks at her jiggly curses then looks at me in doubt, "At the same time?" She asks.

"Yes, please," I give her my cutest smile and she sighs.

Hana immediately pushes my meat between her mounds and starts the job. As Ciel shyly comes over she pushes my meat out and it gets squished softly between the four dreams. A triple chocolate cake.

The two women start to move up and down in sync while I drizzle oil in the middle of the buns. Their nipples rub on each other and get erect, their faces get closer to one another and their breaths mingle.

They suddenly forget about me as their eyes lock onto each other. Roxanne comes behind Ciel and softly rubs her fingers against her black pussy, Lina comes behind Hana and does the same. Alissa gets on the border of the tub in front of me and spreads her legs, her fingers plunge deep into her pink pussy repeatedly and come out dripping wet with her juices.

Hana gives a kiss to Ciel, who doesn't react as she's entranced in Hana's yellow lizard eyes. Hana repeats the kisses that grow longer until Roxanne plunges one finger in each hole and Ciel lockes her lips with Hana's, shoving her tongue down the other's throat.

"I'm gonna cum," I warn and the two tilt their heads, separating their tongues slightly. My seed hits them right in the mouth and causes a mess as they continue to kiss, now with semen in the mix.

They don't stop and only press their breasts together even harder. My dick doesn't go soft, so the pleasure only becomes more intense as my skill makes the pain of the refractory period last only a few seconds.

Roxanne angles herself so her tail can reach Lina and penetrates her suddenly, making the little girl yelp in surprise. Alissa goes behind Roxanne and shoves a finger on each hole, making her groan hard as her virgin asshole is very tight.

After a quick [Clean], Alissa leans behind Roxanne and spreads her cheeks so she can lick her asshole. Her fingers find Roxanne's G-spot and she struggles to keep tail-fucking Lina.

As the depravity increases I orgasm again, giving more cum for Hana and Ciel to share in their kiss.

As a third shot comes I pull out of the double titjob and shove it down on Ciel's throat. "Don't swallow," I say and she obeys, though she still chokes a bit. Then I grab Roxanne's head and shove her on Ciel's face, making the two suddenly experience a very sticky, white kiss.

I look at Lina and she immediately starts to masturbate, her eyes locked on Ciel. Roxanne pulls out of Lina and shoves her tail inside Ciel, making her orgasm instantly.

Alissa greedily comes towards my dick for some more cum but I push her away, I want Roxanne now.

I cum inside her twice and make Ciel clean up, she goes further and continues the attack on Roxanne's G-spot, fingering her until she gets a whole-body shivering orgasm.

As the drunkenness from the lust fades, Lina stares at Ciel with an impish smile.

"What...?" Ciel mutters.

"Now that we have all shared one another, we all belong to each other," Lina says and giggles softly.

"You know, aside from the sexual innuendo that is quite profound," Roxanne says and we chuckle.

"But we don't... really love one another in the same way..." Ciel says and frowns, she's conflicted.

"Well, you said sex can be used as comfort for loved ones," I say.

"I know, it's just that me doing it is a little different. Our family is... confusing," she answers with a shrug.

"We all share, that's all," Hana says with conviction.

"I love you all, in different ways, but I do," Alissa says, she wades over to me and rests her head on my chest, "I trust you all and that's what's important for me."

"Awn..." Ciel melts a little and nearly submerges herself underwater.

Lina shyly comes towards us and gives me a hug, then the others follow, including Aoi and Gify.

"Love, love, love, love, love, love!" Aoi gives everyone a lick after each word.

"Gih," he says and nibbles on my ears softly.

After a few seconds of rib crushing, mostly caused by Hana, we disentangle.

"Buut... we have to talk about Klein," Roxanne starts and looks at Hana, Ciel nods repeatedly and stares at me.

"Okay, first," Ciel raises her hand and points it to Hana, "what do you want with Klein?"

"Well..." Hana rubs on her scales awkwardly, then she shakes her head and smiles, her resolve set, "I want to fuck Klein, like, really bad. Though, let me say this, I don't need to fuck her, I just want to."

"Do you, uh, love her?" I ask.

"No, I don't really want her as a wife, for me or Wolfy, but I want to fuck her, I want to take her virginity. But since I don't have a dick, I want Wolfy to do it while I watch. It's pure lust," she shrugs.

"I also don't want Klein as a wife," Roxanne says quickly but then her posture shrinks, "But I want to watch Wolfy take her virginity."

Alissa's heartbeat quickens, Ciel groans, and Lina frowns.

"Well I don't think she would be a good wife but she would be nice to play around with," Alissa says.

Ciel massages her eyes so I look at Lina, waiting for her answer.

"I don't know... I don't want Wolfy to love another, but... I don't love Hana the way I love Wolfy, I just... want her to abuse me," she says and cowers, getting slightly more flushed than the hot bath is capable of.

"So, you think it's agreeable for me to have sex with Klein because I don't love her?"

"Yes...?" She questions tentatively, "Is that too weird? It sounds weird..."

"It is weird," Ciel mutters.

"It is called trust," Alissa says.

"It is called depraved degeneracy," Roxanne says.

Alissa shrugs, "Can't deny that, but it can be both, or all three."

"Alissaaaa, you corrupted me!" Ciel complains.

"Yeah, she kind of did it to me, too. I don't think I can look at a fox the same way I did before," I say and awkwardly scratch my head.

"You did it to me first," Alissa says and laughs, her wet fluffy tail splashes on the water repeatedly.

"Look, let's make it clear, none of you have to accept any of this. I love all six of you. No, Gify, I don't love you like that-..."

Suddenly Aoi raises her head high and she shows me the widest, fanged smile she can.

"Kweh! You, love, me, like, them!?" She asks.

"I, uh... yes...?" I say with a phony smile.

Aoi swims forward like a fish towards me but suddenly gets grabbed by Ciel, "Not now, please, you can kiss him later," she says.

"Kweh..." Aoi deflates and becomes even smaller.

"Anyway... none of you have to accept this, I have absolutely no need for any other women than you all," I finish.

"But we need it," Alissa says with an evil smile and chuckles. Hana smiles faintly and Lina frowns but shrugs.

Ciel and Roxanne remain quiet, they stare at each other for a few long seconds and turn away. They sink lower in the bath and try to relax and focus on their thoughts.

Suddenly Roxanne rises, "Honestly, I don't care. I just want you to promise me not to fall in love with another woman and you can fuck whoever you want," she says.

I blink repeatedly, taken aback.

Ciel slowly rises, staring at me intently, then she suddenly fires word after word in high speed, "We have veto over any woman, and you can't do it in secret, and you can't do it repeatedly, and you have to ask all of us first, and we all have to agree, and you can't ignore any of us, ever!" She hits her hand on the water once done.

"You enjoyed it, didn't you?" Alissa asks in a soft tone.

Ciel swallows her saliva and remains quiet.

Alissa smiles sadistically, here comes her other side.

"Come now, priestess, you know you shouldn't lie about your feelings. Having Lina taken by Roxanne felt good, didn't it? You felt the exhilarating pain, the disgust, the self-hate and the humiliation. But it all made you feel better, didn't it?"

Ciel can't look away from Alissa, their eyes are locked. Alissa wades over to Ciel and kisses her softly on the lips, making Ciel melt and relax just a bit. Alissa holds Ciel's head with both hands and their noses touch.

"You want it, you love it, you need it. Tell me the truth, Ciel, how did it feel?"

Silence.

"Tell me the truth!"

"I... felt horrible, and it hurt, and I felt disgusted, and I hated myself... because it felt good..."

Alissa laughs and releases her, Ciel massages her eyes again and groans.

"You don't have to accept this," I softly say to Ciel.

"No, Wolfy, she doesn't, but she needs it," Alissa says and returns to my arms.

"I'm sure you can have some fun with Klein, too," Hana says to Ciel.

"Well, first Wolfy has to get past that monster," Roxanne says and they all stare at me.

Umm... what the hell just happened?
