Chapter 42
The wall behind me was solid. The males gradually closed in.
When they grabbed my arms and made it impossible to move my legs, I was truly terrified.
If they'd been holding weapons, things wouldn't have gone this far.
Of course, there would have been blood, but at least it wouldn't have been mine.
Should I have picked up even a branch?
I, too, must have instinctively gotten caught up in the mating game between males and females.
I had no intention of surrendering my chastity just because I yielded to them….
I should have protected myself by any means necessary.
Since no male had ever managed to restrain me until now, I'd grown complacent.
No matter how strong I was, I couldn't match a male in a direct contest of strength….
No matter how brutish they looked, they were Gold-rank adventurers.
I was going to end up being restrained and violated like the other females.
These guys were slaves to a violent instinct, unlike Claude, who had treated me gently until now.
The terrifying look in their eyes as they grabbed my legs, knocked me down, climbed on top of me, and pinned me there.
I hated their greedy breathing and the sight of them shaking their erect cocks.
Tears came as I struggled desperately.
To think I was about to be raped by men… I screamed in terror.
That's why I called Claude.
Instinctively, I sought someone who could protect me.
To be honest, he wasn't fundamentally different from the other males, either….
But there was one decisive difference that kept me relying on him.
Claude had always been kind and never tried to force me.
Whenever I was beside him, my tail wouldn't stop wagging; his presence made me feel comfortable and warm.
Above all, he smelled good, and his body was amazing….
Even his face made me feel happy just looking at it.
Just as I was thinking that, he came to find me after breaking through the dungeon wall.
He sent flying the one who had been pinning me down.
My fear melted away in an instant. His broad back was so reassuring and huge.
The strength with which he dispatched the males threatening me in one stroke.
The presence that made everyone tuck their tails just by existing.
His wonderful voice made my heart pound, and even his scent aroused me.
Once again, I instinctively realized that this man was the strongest.
My heart fluttered for the man who had subdued everyone through sheer strength.
“Aris. Stay still.”
Once again, I ended up begging him to do it to me.
It was to put an end to the competition over the female, but….
I simply couldn't endure this situation.
“Master…I'm embarrassed!”
I'd brought this on myself, but sex with an audience was truly difficult.
Claude, on the other hand, seemed to like it, perhaps because he had a tendency to show off to others.
Claude somehow produced a chair and sat down.
I was hugging him tightly with my arms beneath his armpits.
Then I pulled my hips back, and he held me in place with his hands.
Claude spread my buttocks wide with both hands.
He exposed both my anus and pussy to everyone.
The defeated males were masturbating as they watched this.
I tried not to meet their eyes as much as possible.
Claude rubbed his cock against my spread-open pussy, searching for my opening.
“It can't be helped, can it? The situation is different from back then, right?”
“Y-yes…but I'm still embarrassed!”
A man had masturbated because of me once before.
I had gotten sulky over it, and there had been a bit of a commotion, but the situation was a little different now.
I was the one who had asked him to do it, and it was necessary….
“I'm showing them. I need to let them know that Aris is my female.”
“B-but…hngh, Master…!”
His cock slid into my spread-open hole.
“Kyaa! Kya! Ah, aah!”
Thrust-thrust—Claude rocked his hips, putting me on display.
What do I do…? My tail was naturally swaying to the rhythm.
I was showing everyone how good I felt, how much I could feel it in his cock!
“Ah…ah! Kyaaah! Ah! Master! Mas…ter!”
So embarrassing! So embarrassing!
“Aris's pussy…! It's getting tighter and tighter!”
Smack—! His palm struck my buttocks.
My trembling flesh rippled, sending a powerful jolt through me.
“Aah♡”
Instinctively, I knew how useful this sort of behavior was.
They wouldn't attack me again, and even if we happened to meet, they'd treat me with respect.
Because I was the female of a high-ranking male.
More than anything, it felt so…good that my body was aroused right now.
But later, after it was all over, I didn't know whether my mind would be able to endure it.
For now, all I could do was cling to Claude and moan.
He grabbed my shoulders and pulled me away from him.
I placed my hands on his shoulders and rocked my body.
“Aris, you have to declare it yourself, too. That you're my female.”
“Hngh…y-yes, Master…w-wait! D-don't! Master…!”
Claude turned me around.
“Ah! A-ah! No, I can't! Please don't look at me!”
In the end, my eyes met those males who had been masturbating as they watched us.
I covered my face with both hands. My face was burning, and it felt as though my heart would burst.
“Aris! You have to say it now!”
He spread my legs wide and lifted me, supporting me with his hands.
I leaned my back against his chest.
His cock was still embedded in my pussy.
I bobbed lewdly up and down in time with his movements….
“Hngh…haaah♡ I, I am…! Aris is! M, Master Claude's…ah!”
“You have to say it properly, don't you?”
“Kyaa! Aris is! I am Master Claude's female! Master Claude's! Female♡”
Thud-thud-thud-!
Along with my declaration, his movements grew even rougher.
Thump, smack, thump, smack—each time he moved up and down, our jaws knocked together with an audible sound.
“Ngh…! Ngh! Ah, aah!”
“I'm going to come inside you like this!”
“I-I'll…too! I'm coming! I'm going to come in front of the males watching…I'm cominggg♡”
As Claude ejaculated powerfully inside me, I gushed too.
As though he'd matched me, one of the males who had been masturbating came as well.
“Ugh…where are you spraying that?!”
Oh no! What do I do…! The semen of another male flew onto me and stuck.
Claude didn't care; with his face buried against the back of my head, he kept thrusting his hips.
Brrt-brrrtt…!
It was so thick and plentiful that semen flowed out of my opening.
“Aris…Aris!”
“Haa…yes, Master!”
Then the others ejaculated too.
One by one, they approached and sprayed semen over my face and body, the bastards!
“Sob…sniff…!”
Seeing this, Claude spoke in a cold voice.
“Are you challenging me?”
The others flinched and backed away.
“Ugh, give us a break this time! We acknowledge it! That female is yours! We won't challenge you again!”
“If you've taken such an incredible female…you should show some mercy!”
“Humans are too greedy. A female is just a hole, after all!”
They still had enough pride to say their piece, but they kept retreating farther.
Claude seemed to want to chase them down.
“Haa…Master. You can go…if you want. I was really scared…!”
“Mm, no. Aris. I don't want to leave you alone.”
He tilted my head back so I could see his face.
I hadn't realized how much I longed for that warm smile.
Fear, embarrassment, and excitement all tangled together.
Suddenly, emotion welled up, and tears spilled out.
“Master…Mas…ter…sob, waaah!”
“A-Aris?”
Flustered, he pulled me into a tight embrace.
Had I ever cried this hard in my life?
I had always needed to protect myself and never once considered relying on anyone else.
Crying was an emotional expression that only had meaning when someone wanted to be seen.
Until now, tears had been completely useless to me.
But I realized that things were different now.
I didn't have to suppress my fear alone.
I let it all out in his arms, because Claude was holding me.
“Aris…Aris…it's all right. They're gone now. I'll protect you. Aris….”
“Sniff…sob. Master…th-thank you for sa-aving me…sob….”
I was still looking up at him with my head tilted back.
He held my chin and kissed me.
Slurp—smack— It was a sudden kiss, but I eagerly licked his tongue.
For the shining man who had pulled me out of that terrifying abyss.
He gently touched my breasts.
Even while remaining conscious of his cock inside my pussy….
“Aris?”
“Haa…Master. Aris can do more….”
I looked at him while swaying my hips.
The fingers that had been touching my face slipped into my mouth.
I stuck out my tongue and licked his fingers.
“All right. Let's rest for today. Let's get back to the other side of the wall first.”
He grabbed and lifted both my legs with his hands, then slowly rose from the chair.
“Hng…Master? Are we going like this?”
Claude stood up abruptly with his cock still embedded in me.
Why was he so strong when he was a mage, of all things?
He moved the chair aside, and every step he took made him thrust into me, stimulating me.
“Ah…aah! Master! What if we run into a monster like this…!”
“Don't worry. Aris, you just have to stay in my arms.”
After we returned to the other side of the wall, we had sex several times.
With him, I feel as though nothing that happens could frighten me.
◇
Meanwhile, Livnil, Griff, and Chris.
The three of them were also steadily making their way forward.
The monsters they encountered weren't very strong, so they advanced at their leisure.
It was about time to make camp, and they arrived at a room thick with forest.
They looked for cover where they could hide from monsters.
Chris cheerfully picked pretty flowers and smelled them, clearly having fun.
The other two, on the other hand, were creating an uncomfortable atmosphere.
“Ahem.”
“Griff? Walk a little farther away.”
“Ah, okay….”
Just as Aris had said, after spending quite some time with Livnil, Griff began to feel something strange.
Livnil seemed much more alluring than usual, somehow.
He knew she was a beautiful woman, but today she seemed to shine even more.
On top of that, a strangely pleasant scent wafted from her, and smelling it made him unable to endure.
He was painfully erect.
Livnil, too, kept feeling Griff's gaze on her.
She had known he wanted her all this time, but this was the first time he'd been so blatant.
Aris's folk remedy…was truly incredible.
But they couldn't do anything right now.
“Chris. Can you keep watch over the tent here?”
“Yes! Understood! If a monster comes, I'll scream, so don't worry!”
The two went to gather firewood.
Focusing on something else would help.
But in the end, Griff couldn't endure it.
“Livnil…!”
“Ah, hey! Wait! Wait! Don't cling to me!”
Griff pushed Livnil against a tree and slammed her against it.
She wasn't someone who could be overpowered by strength.
This was no different from her giving him permission.
“Is it really that hard? C-can't you hold it in…?”
“Sorry. I heard from Miss Aris.”
Aris had told him what had happened.
Livnil shook her head and tapped her forehead.
“Ha…I'm so embarrassed I could die! If you heard that, then you know what my answer is, right?”
“I know. But I'm dying here! What am I supposed to do about this erection that won't go down?!”
“H-how would I know? Seriously, go catch a monkey or something and take care of it!”
Griff then grabbed her shoulders and said,
“No. I…can't do it unless it's you.”
“What…! What are you saying? I-I can't do it unless it's Griff, either….”
The two spoke, then their eyes met; startled, they looked away from each other.
Griff, still holding her shoulders, said,
“I'll endure it somehow….”
“Really…? Look at this—you're really huge now, aren't you?”
“Yeah. Honestly, it's gotten to the point where I'd consider finding a monkey, like you said.”
“Shit, what should we do? If we leave you like this…Chris will be in danger too.”
Griff then shook his head.
“Y-you think I'd lay a hand on Chris? We have to protect them.”
“Exactly. I'm the one who has to protect them from you….”
Livnil brushed his hand off her shoulder.
Then she slowly knelt before Griff and said,
“I just need to make you come once, right?”
“Huh? L-Livnil?”
“I'll use my mouth. We can't do it that way right now. Make do with this.”
Livnil undid his belt.
Griff was flustered, but looking up at her face, he found her extraordinarily beautiful.
“Livnil….”
“You'd better thank me, okay? Hngh…!”
Livnil's mouth was warm.
Today, Griff felt as though he had fulfilled a dream he had thought impossible.
