Chapter 18
Aris was extremely aroused.
Wanting to make Claude feel even a little better, she tried her best.
But to Claude, she didn't seem to be in very good shape.
Aris climbed on top of him and tried desperately to move and take him in, but she felt dizzy somehow.
"Aris? You...seem to have a fever. Are you really all right?"
"Uh...I-I’m f-fine...“
At Claude's words, Aris thought hazily.
Everything looked a little blurry, heat was rising and sweat was running down her, but wasn't her mind still clear?
Yes, everything seemed to sparkle. Even Claude's body seemed to sparkle....
Claude was startled by the sight of the girl whose eyes were rolling slightly upward.
And in that instant, he saw the light in her eyes.
“Aris? Stop! Your eyes are sparkling.”
Her eyes were sparkling. They say a Wolpi's eyes flash white when she enters heat.
But Aris's body was not in heat yet.
No, put that way, anyone would be confused.
More precisely, since she was in the middle of mating, Aris was indeed ‘in heat.’
But what mattered was that this was merely a response to external stimulation.
A Wolpi's healthy heat came at a set time.
It worked according to each individual's bodily rhythm, like a system tailored to their mental state and circumstances.
Of course, being forced into heat as she was now wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
But if they attempted mating like this, physical fatigue built up easily, and the female could become confused.
‘I'm in heat right now. Can I get pregnant?’
But pregnancy was impossible.
Moreover, if she failed to become pregnant in this state, her relationship with the male could end up going sour.
In fact, Aris would fall asleep the moment she closed her eyes right now.
As expected, Claude thought, books were a wonderful thing.
“Come down for now.”
Claude laid Aris, who had been astride him, down on the bed.
She was feverish and short of breath, and he looked blurry to her.
“You tried so hard. Aris...I must have put too much pressure on you.”
“Mast...er....”
Aris's condition was that of ‘a female Wolpi intoxicated by a false heat.’ The way to treat it was simple.
Because this was still technically a state of ‘heat.’
“It'll be a little rough. Aris...bear with me.”
“Yee...heugh, Mast...er? Wha...what are you going to dooo...?”
Naturally, the best way to resolve a state of heat was to satisfy her urges.
Claude had treated her as gently as possible until now, but the situation was different now.
“I'm going in.”
“Eek...ah, aah!?”
Aris was startled, but he didn't stop. He merely rocked his hips fiercely.
Thinking of nothing but her pussy, he focused solely on moving like a beast.
Thud! Thud! Thuuud—!
“Haa...aah! Ah, ah! Mast...er! Kya! Mast...Kyaaang! Aah! Rough...haaah...kyaaa!”
Aris's cries echoed throughout the room.
The girl was drenched in tears from the rough act, but her master did not stop.
“Aris...I'm sorry! It's for your sake. Let go. You can let go!”
Fwoom—bang!
Claude's movements ultimately brought her to such an intense climax that she lost consciousness.
The girl eventually fell asleep. It was clear how she'd tried so hard, thinking she had done something wrong.
“Maybe she's still not comfortable with me...?”
Claude gazed at the girl sleeping softly.
Since he had no intention of taking on another slave, he disliked the idea of a harsh master-slave relationship.
Like friends, or dependable companions.
That much would be ideal, but since they were a man and woman, he couldn't suppress his own desires.
They didn't have to be lovers. At the very least, Claude wanted to be a man she felt comfortable with.
◇
“Ugh...my head....”
When I opened my eyes, a dull headache set in. I squeezed my eyes shut because I could barely hold myself up.
Had I been drinking last night? No, I hadn't.
I had definitely been doing those sorts of things with Claude when he pounced on me....
I think I passed out just like that.
I sat up groggily. Fortunately, Claude hadn't gone anywhere and was sleeping beside me.
I didn't know why I felt relieved.
“Master....”
He wasn't wearing a shirt. For a mage, he had an impressive amount of muscle.
Well, he was the man who had slammed that enormous monster down by grabbing only its beak.
“Just what are you?”
He exhaled softly and looked relaxed. My gaze naturally fell to his crotch.
It was standing proudly again today.
“You're healthy after what you did yesterday.”
I seemed to have had an absolutely incredible experience just before I passed out.
His frightening expression and forceful attitude. And on top of that, piston-like thrusting without a shred of consideration.
I had been a little startled, but if he had enjoyed it, I didn't mind.
“It still hurts a little...”
I had just checked, and the semen he'd left inside me was still there, completely untouched.
My groin and lower back felt sore.
Come to think of it, what had I done yesterday, exactly?
What had gotten Claude so aroused?
I couldn't remember what spots he liked....
“Mmm...cock....”
His erect morning wood fascinated me every time I saw it. I used to have one like that too.
I hadn't thought much about it back then, but now that I didn't have one, my eyes kept being drawn to it.
I reached out, wondering if I should give it a little touch....
“Aris...are you awake?”
“Hah! Y-yes, Master. Did you sleep well?”
Claude raised his upper body. He reached out and took me by the shoulder.
“Kya!”
I ended up in his embrace. His large, dependable shoulders enveloped me.
“Master...?”
“Aris. Are you all right? I was too rough yesterday.”
“I-I’m fine, Master. If you want...I can do it right now.”
“No. Don't. I want Aris to feel good.”
You say that, but you were awfully rough yesterday...?
I couldn't say it honestly, but it hurt.
I chattered to myself inwardly as I looked at him. Then he smiled gently and stroked my head.
That gentle smile on that face was downright unfair.
“Your face is red. Aris, are you still in heat?”
“Heat...no. I don't have a fever. Aris is healthy now. I'm fine.”
“I see. That's a relief.”
Tap, tap—he patted my head, then stood up.
I got up after him and tidied the bedding.
They said the bedding would be changed as part of the care service if we left it beside the bed.
“Master, are you going to wash?”
“Hmm? I think Aris should wash before I do.”
“I'll get ready quickly, then help you!”
“No~ no. Aris, take your time~wash comfortably and come out.”
“Yes....”
But he refused to bathe with me.
I liked that it was comfortable, but it also felt a little strange.
After washing myself clean, I shook the water from my tail, swishing my butt. Frrr—!
I shook myself once more so no water would get into my ears. Frrr-rip!
I came outside and waited for Claude to finish washing while drying my hair.
The sun had already risen, and some time had passed.
We also had the second round of the adventurer registration exam, so I wanted to make him something for breakfast—or lunch.
But for some reason, Claude wouldn't let me into the kitchen.
He was firm, as if this was the one thing he couldn't allow.
I could make something simple for us to eat, but I hadn't had a chance to show off my skills yet.
“Aris. You're dressed, right?”
“Yes, Master. What are you thinking of having for breakfast...lunch today?”
“Hehehe, Aris really does love food.”
“Huh? Yes. I like eating. So, Master, you should...”
Claude tended to skip meals if I didn't remind him.
He seemed to enjoy cooking and be good at it, but once he opened a book, he could stay quiet for hours.
I merely sat beside him and watched him.
Sometimes, when I said I was going out to exercise, he tried to come along too...so I rarely mentioned it.
Claude genuinely seemed to enjoy the time he spent reading.
“Then let's go out. We'll have something simple for breakfast.”
“Understood! Aris is ready.”
“Hmm...no. I, um...I'd like Aris to wear a skirt.”
“Huh?”
Could it be starting? Was this the kind of situation where a slave heard an unreasonable demand...!
Even if I thought that, it was only a skirt, so I couldn't complain.
If I made a fuss over a girl wearing a skirt, the other slaves might beat me to death.
But I barely managed to suppress a sigh.
“A-all right....”
“Thank you.”
I put on the skirt as he asked. I let my tail come out over the top.
“Hmm...wouldn't it be better to put your tail underneath? Your butt is showing.”
“Wouldn't this be more enjoyable for you, Master?”
“I-I like it, but other men will see you! No.”
Honestly, rather than showing my entire butt while wagging my tail,
I thought it would be better to show only a little of the upper cleft....
I wasn't sure whether I could control my tail well, but Claude spoke so firmly that I had no choice.
“Understood. As you wish, Master....”
I pulled the skirt farther up and lowered my tail underneath it.
In the process, my panties became plainly visible, but it couldn't be helped.
“Your panties have a hole up there too. Let's put on different ones.”
“Isn't this much all right? It's not as if my genitals or anus are showing; they're ordinary panties.”
They really were ordinary panties that covered my entire butt.
They just happened to have a small heart-shaped hole in the waistband.
We weren't even going out to show them to anyone, so why was he acting like this?
“Hmm...all right. Let's go.”
I followed him outside. What would be good to eat, something simple?
I asked Claude, but he replied, “Whatever Aris likes.”
The thing was, I didn't particularly dislike anything, so I always had trouble deciding.
Sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff.
“Master! Master! I think they're roasting chicken down that alley!”
“Really? Shall we go there?”
“Oh! Master! It smells like fragrant stew over here!”
“Then shall we get that...?”
“Huh? Master! It looks like they put cheese on steamed potatoes over here! And I smell creamy corn soup too!”
“Yeah, yeah, that sounds delicious! Over there....”
“Ah! What about that place...?”
Sniff, sniff. Sniff, sniff.
Delicious smells wafted in from every direction, and I couldn't think straight.
I bounced excitedly and lingered in front of the shops, and Claude followed me, standing behind me.
We looked around inside one shop together, and whenever I caught another smell, we went over to look there too.
“Haa...what should we eat, Master?”
“You're even more energetic than usual today. Aris, your tail...it's going to fall off.”
“But there are so many delicious foods at this hour!”
After much happy deliberation, we finally headed to a shop that roasted whole pork legs.
It was the sort of shop that made your mouth water just from standing in front of it.
Then we ran into a woman in front of the shop.
“Oh? Mr. Claude! Hello!”
“Ah~hello, Ms. Livnil.”
That woman who had made plans with Claude about the dungeon before!
What should I do? It's that fox!
A beautiful woman with short blonde hair. She seemed to have a modest bust, and she was taller than me.
She had a decent amount of muscle too, so she might be fairly strong in her own way.
“Is this the person Livnil mentioned? Hello. I'm Griff.”
Beside her stood a man as tall as Claude. Judging by the bow he wore, was he an archer?
Behind them was a girl shorter than me...no, about the same height? She looked like a cleric.
“Chris. You should introduce yourself.”
“Ah, hello. I'm Chris, a cleric.”
Once the other party had all introduced themselves, everyone's attention turned to me.
Claude spoke.
“This is Aris. As you can see, she's a Wolpi. Nice to meet you all.”
Everyone nodded while looking at my ears and tail.
Among them, the girl named Chris opened her eyes wide and tracked my tail with her eyes.
I swished it back and forth, and even her head followed it.
“So you're Aris! Nice to meet you! I'm Livnil.”
“Grrr…Aris. Is.”
“Ah, you don't seem to be in a very good mood.”
“No. Aris? There's no need to be on guard. I explained it last time, remember? I-it's okay, right...?”
I'd heard and understood Claude's explanation well enough, and there was no problem.
It was just...what should I call it? A strange shock I felt toward her?
I didn't know why, but I didn't feel good.
“I'm sorry. Wolpis are wary of strangers...very wary.”
“Haha. No, it's all right. That can happen.”
“Your ears...are cute! Just like a puppy!”
“Chris? She's a fellow member of our party. That was rude.”
“I'm sorry....”
Was that little girl treating me like a puppy too?
I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to adapt to this party.
