Seiji leaned back in his chair, a satisfied grin on his face as he finished the last bite of his steak. Breakfast with steak—now that was a way to start the day. The strong coffee and hearty meal gave him a pleasant sense of fullness, and the beautiful scenery around him only added to his good mood. The gentle flow of the stream nearby, the soft hum of the marketplace, and the bright morning sun made everything feel... right.
He chuckled to himself, thinking about how fortunate he was. "A breakfast like this and no orc in heat chasing me down? Yeah, life's good," Seiji mused. He couldn't help but feel a wave of relief wash over him, thinking back to the stories he had overheard about those poor adventurers who'd been caught by an orc in heat. Their tales of being "claimed" by the beast made him thankful for his own quick thinking and lucky escapes. At least his manhood was safe from that kind of disaster.
