Chapter 10 Qilin
It was a bit awkward in the morning, after a dream-memory, I woke up and noticed that the sheet under me was wet. And of course Raphtalia, being supersensitive to different smells, she felt the result of my wet dream about my wife, and every time she looked at me, she blushed deeply. And Filo, in turn, thought that I wet myself...
Let it be so, it is better than explaining what happened to me, and she is not old enough for this.
After taking a quick bath, I went back, Raphtalia pretended that nothing happened, and Filo looked at me expectantly.
I laughed at her and went to make breakfast.
After which Naofumi came to us and we all began to eat breakfast.
After which, we set off again, and a couple of days later we met an old woman and a child in the forest.
And Naofumi looked at me, and I simply rolled my eyes at his verbal communication with me.
Inviting the woman and the child, I gave them two plates of food I had prepared,
"SO DELICIOUS!" the child shouted.
"Yes! Young lady, you will make a wonderful wife!"
I nodded proudly and replied.
"I know, I am already married to the woman I love! And I hope she likes my food too!" I told her, since I didn't care what others thought.
She looked at me strangely, but remained silent!
Then, the two of them darkened and the woman spoke.
"You better turn your carriage around!"
"If you continue to drive, you will die!"
"No, we won't die!" I answered frivolously, earning more strange looks.
Naofumi ignored my words and turned to the woman.
"I was told that there is a village further on!"
The woman bowed her head and answered the shield hero.
"She is already doomed! A fierce illness has even taken the headman down."
After talking with these two, we set off again, towards this village.
"What happened there?" Raphtalia asked.
I simply waved my hand and answered
"I bet it's a zombie dragon!" and continued to lie in the carriage, since the itch in my horns has been bothering me for the last few days, and I don't know what it's because of.
Is there a chance that this is a sign of their growth? But after so much time…
Although it could be because of something else.
"Ganyu, what's wrong with you?" I heard Xi Er's voice, and raising my head, I realized that I was seeing a memory again.
"My horns itch!" I replied, and I couldn't stop itching, only this one was worse than the one in reality.
"Poor thing!" Xi Er said, then added
"I didn't know you had 'those days'!" Xi Er said.
"What date is it now?" I asked my wife.
"February 18th!" she replied.
"Well then, you're right, that time of the month has come!" I replied, sighing heavily.
"Hey, I want to ride you again!" my wife said.
"I'm not your horse!" I yelled at her.
She laughed and replied.
"Well, to me, when you change, you look like a cute little horse with a blue mane!" I blushed at her words, and we went deep into the forest.
Once we got there, I took off my clothes and put on a little show for my wife, which made her blush.
The next moment, I was enveloped in smoke, and when it cleared, I was already towering over my wife.
"You are so beautiful!" she said when she saw that I had taken on my true form.
I rolled my eyes and pushed her, to which she laughed, and then climbed on my back, and began to stroke my mane.
*PF*
"Yeah, yeah, I know! It won't happen again!" she said, the first time she rode me, she grabbed my mane too hard, which made me lose my balance and we both fell.
*PF*
"Okay, I'll take you by the horns!" she said, and true to her word, she did it.
As soon as I felt her hands on my horns, I took off and started running around the forest, feeling free and at peace.
Xi Er just laughed like crazy, which I found… hot.
I zigzagged between the trees and sometimes heard my wife's frightened screams. I continued to do this, even though I knew that I would most likely get a punishment that I would like…
As soon as I finished my night run, I found a lonely tree on a hill and lay down next to it.
"Lana is so beautiful!" my wife said, getting off me.
*PF*
"Hey, flattery won't help you!" she said to me
*PF*
"I'll punish you anyway!"
*PF*
"I know you'll expect this punishment, you didn't need to say that!"
*PF*
"You're mean!" she answered me, pouting. I just laughed to myself and didn't say anything else, but just looked at the moon, which was really beautiful.
I heard a quiet snore, and realized that my wife had already fallen asleep, leaning her head against my body, I smiled at this, and laid my head next to her, also falling asleep.
When I opened my eyes, I was back in the carriage, and I couldn't help but think about the memory. I don't have my period, but instead I have to take on my "true" form, every month!
Although, because of the feelings that were in the memory, I want to do it. In the memory, when I took on my true "form", I felt calm and peaceful, as if nothing in the world bothered me.
"Naofumi, let's set up camp!" I said to the shield hero.
"What for? We'll make it to the village before dark!"
"It's necessary... I have something to do tonight!" I told him.
"What?" he asked.
"It's a secret! So let's set up camp!" I answered him.
He sighed, but complied.
As night approached, I was about to leave, until my sister grabbed my sleeve.
"Ganyu, why don't you tell me where you're going? Or are you deliberately not taking me so that I won't be a burden?" my sister asked with tears in her eyes.
This girl...
Is she really a tanuki and not a fox-tailed fox?
"Okay, I'll take you with me, but you can't tell anyone what you see!"
"I promise I won't tell anyone!" she replied.
I nodded and took her hand, we walked deeper into the forest.
When I reached the center of the forest, I started taking off my clothes without thinking
"SISTER! What are you doing?" Raphtalia shouted, blushing, and turned away.
I laughed and tried to concentrate, as if in a memory.
The smoke enveloped me again, and after a few seconds, it disappeared.
"WOW!" Raphtalia shouted.
She came up to me and ran her hand over my body.
"Why are these scales so soft?" she asked a question that I myself didn't know the answer to, although they were soft, they were as strong as dragon scales.
*PF*
She bowed her head and asked.
"What? I don't understand you!" she said
I just shook my head and sat down.
"Do you want me to climb on your back?" she asked.
*PF* I nodded to her.
"Okay!" she said and climbed on my back and started stroking my mane.
"Wow, it's so soft, like your hair!" - well, that's because it's my hair, silly!
*PF*
"Ganyu, I still can't understand you!" - to which I shook my head.
"Do you want me to grab your horns?" - I just nodded to her.
She grabbed my horns and I immediately took off.
"AAAH!" - I heard my sister scream, she let go of my horns and pressed herself against my neck.
I didn't stop, but continued frolicking throughout the forest. Now I could understand what it meant to release my "inner beast". I saw how all the animals I ran past bowed their heads to me.
"Ahahahaha!" - at some point, Raphtalia herself began to enjoy herself and laugh.
After a couple of hours, I decided to take a break, and Raphtalia was almost falling asleep.
I lay down on the grass, putting Raphtalia down, who fell asleep hugging my tail.
I just shook my head and lay down next to her.
The next morning, before Raphtalia woke up, I quickly got dressed so as not to torment the poor girl anymore and began to wait for my sister to wake up.
Opening her eyes and realizing where she was and remembering what happened last night, she quickly jumped up to me.
"Ganyu, what happened? What did you become? And is it safe for you?" - she began to ask questions
I simply put my finger to her lips, which made her blush a little.
"Don't worry, I will answer all your questions!" - I told her, to which she nodded and I removed my finger.
"What happened yesterday… this was my true form, I was born like this, and only then took on a human form." - to which Raphtalia nodded to me, continuing to wait for my explanation
"My race belongs to the Qilin. These are divine beasts from my homeland!" - then she added.
"And it's safe for me, it's just… at least once a month I need to accept my "inner beast" and give it freedom. In terms of frolicking and running around the forest. In that form I understand everything, well, you can understand it yourself!" I told her.
"So you can only become like that once a month?" my sister asked me.
I shook my head and answered.
"No, this is my true form, I can be in it all the time, but it's not very convenient… And once a month I have to accept it, because of the itching in my horns, which will get worse every day, until my body itself makes a decision and turns into my true form!" I answered her.
She nodded, and looked at me strangely.
"So your true form is…
"Yes, a hybrid of several animals!" I told her, already knowing that she would ask this question.
"Yeah, I thought so!" she said.
"Okay, it's time for us to go back to camp!" I said to Raphtalia.
"Okay!" she answered me and we went together to the camp where Naofumi was.
