"Mmmn, thank you. It was delicious!"
Tessa looked towards Zell with a delighted face, oil staining her pink lips. Since he met her for real, he found she was nothing like he imagined. She wasn't the cold ice goddess which everyone saw. Truthfully, she was a cute little slob.
"Gepu!"
Zell shook his head as she burped. He was more interested in the cute lynx that was eating her tinned tuna on his lap. Despite knowing this was the goddess of beasts, his mind couldn't accept that and treated her like a fat cat. He enjoyed the silky fur and the sound of her purring when he played with her tail after stroking along her back.
However, there was one thing he disliked. Her claws dig deeply into his thighs and almost tore him apart. He was thankful for the powerful body of a demonic dragon. Otherwise, she might have cut his leg off.
"Did you enjoy the food, Tessa?" Zell said in a deep voice.
"Mmn! It was the best! Please feed me and my cat all the time!"
Her response was cute and all, but he wasn't a simp. Zell pushed his empty plate and Infra's silver bowl towards her. His angel like smile seemed like a demon to Tessa, as she realised he wanted her to wash the dishes. This man did not play according to routines in the drama she watched!
"Well, you can get food. You two can clean the dishes in return. Otherwise, don't bother coming again."
Zell slid his chair backwards with a slight scraping noise. Then grabbed Infra from his lap and placed her on the table as she licked the plates clean. Her proud eyes looked at him as if saying. "Hey, look! I am cleaning, praise me!" But he continued to walk out the door, waving his arm in dispersal.
Moments later, the girls heard his feet climbing the stairs and peered at each other.
"Miao!" (Oi! Lazy bitch, get washing, this goddess wants his food forever!)
"Shut up! Stupid fat cat, go clean the damn dishes! Tsk, whatever his food, it is too good to pass up on. Let's go clean up. Hehe tries to attract me with an indifferent attitude! Ten years too soon!"
—|Infra: 'His pet rabbit is more beautiful than you and her butt is big… You are just average with flat ass until the merging. Silly woman! Don't waste this gift I made possible for you… Last time, I couldn't save you.'
——|Zell's Room|——
Zell threw himself down on the bed, since he lived through the apocalypse leaving that woman in his house mattered little. He didn't keep any valuables downstairs, anyway.
The bed shook with a slight wobble of his memory foam mattress. His mother used to insist on a good chair and an expensive bed. So ever since she passed on. He only bought a few expensive things which were his chair for gaming, mattress and bed.
He enjoyed the slight puff of his mattress as his body sank down slightly. His arms reached to the desk beside him and grabbed a small pen and paper moments after he scribbled on the page. Zell was drawing a rough sketch of Rika. Her figure remained vivid in his eyes, her beautiful white hair, her scars from protecting him and the tight ass he secretly expelled from his desire to.
It was embarrassing to say, but his first true love was probably his own tamed beast. Her strong attitude and fiery personality conflicted with her cute past as a fluffy rabbit.
"Can I really meet Rika again… She must be mine. What if this time someone else takes her?"
A moment of silence passed. He looked away from the door, various thoughts inside his mind. Thinking back to the years spent together with her. The life felt foreign to him. Zell remembered reading about how protagonists returned to the past, but could act like normal and continue with their lives after thousands of years of bloodshed and combat.
Yet he couldn't do it... His heart continuously raced in case of a demon brute raid. His eyes tried to analyse every human he passed, hoping to know if they are friend or foe.
He was exhausted, tired, and nobody could share his feelings.
Suddenly, a slightly rough but excited female voice sounded.
"Master… Did you miss me that much?"
A tall woman with slightly tanned skin, strong muscular abs filled with scars that added to her sex appeal. Her body stepped forward, slowly at first, as if scared this was all a cruel dream. She had fallen asleep beside his VR pod after grinding to level 2.
He brought a strange woman and cat with him. She waited for him to come upstairs, like a good girl. He always called her his best girl and thus, even now, she would never break his words or mood.
Her large butt swayed from side to side as she approached the stunned Zell. Her lips, thick and lustrous, curved into a massive smile as she brushed her messy white hair behind her with twitching white rabbit ears.
"R…Rika!?" Zell said her name. His voice seemed to crack like a teenage boy. He felt both delight and shock caused his heart to race. His body tried to jump from the bed, as he stumbled face first into her huge breasts, only a little smaller than Vestia.
A soft cushion of flesh stopped his fall as he sank into them lightly, her little lips giving a slight moan that caused the pair to blush.
"Master! You've become even more handsome!"
Rika looked up at him because of his change. His height was now above hers as they stared at each other. Although she was a powerful warrior, the moment she failed to protect him, and watched as he stood alone with one arm, still fighting to get revenge for her.
His actions made her heart tremble. No matter who was their enemy, her master would always put them first.
She wrapped her arms around his muscular back. His changes were substantial, which delighted her as she sniffed his neck and rub her scent onto him, examining his changes. Rika was not a dog, but the fact those two sneaky, thieving cats tried to steal her master caused deep worry.
Zell suddenly felt a sense of belonging that he felt missing since his rebirth.
"Rika, I'm home." He said with a hoarse whisper like voice. His hands stroked through her soft white fur.
Her eyes narrowed like crescents as she laughed, rubbing her nose against his chest. Little tears streaming down her cheeks, making his chest wet.
"Mmm! Welcome home, Zell!" she said with a joyful cry. A slight sniffle followed.
They both separated during a mid-evening sun, now rejoined under the same sun. As a single tear dripped down his cheek, both of them held each other in a tight embrace. As if worried, the other might vanish in the next moment.
The world around them ceased to matter as they enjoyed the sensation of their companion.
