Chapter 17
“Answer~.”
“I’m sorry….”
“Is that all~?”
“…I have nothing to say.”
Leaving me behind as I sobbed and clutched my breasts, Acard, who had appeared at the worst possible time and been singled out as the culprit, was kneeling and being punished.
…In truth, Acard hadn’t done anything wrong, but seeing him get scolded didn’t make me feel too bad, so I didn’t stop them.
Sorry, Acard…! Let them scold you just a little longer!
“So. When did you have sex with Ria, Acard?”
“…?”
“If you don’t confess right now, my rapier might pierce your testicles.”
But the misunderstanding had gone so far that it looked as though Acard was about to become incapable of fathering children, so I hurriedly stood up.
“…A-Acard didn’t do anything wrong!”
I couldn’t bear to watch my friend become a eunuch, so I rushed over to Karina and tried to confess the truth.
“…I know Ria loves Acard, but wrong is wrong.”
Karina misunderstood my attempt to stop her as proof that I liked Acard and was about to draw her rapier anyway, so I hurriedly grabbed her hand and shouted.
“…No! That’s not it! I’ve never done it with him! I’m a virgin…!!”
At the word virgin, Karina lowered the rapier she had been about to draw, and a question mark appeared over her head.
“Hmm? Then why are you producing breast milk?”
“…That’s…”
I still didn’t know the exact reason myself, but one thing was certain: I wasn’t producing breast milk because I was pregnant.
My hymen was still intact, after all.
Even if I had somehow become pregnant from genital contact in the bathhouse, there was no way breast milk could have formed this quickly.
So the cause of this entire situation was…
“It’s my constitution….”
The only conclusion I could reach was that I simply had a body that produced breast milk.
“…Huh? Is that possible?”
Unable to understand this unheard-of constitution, Karina took a step back and looked toward Mira, who seemed likely to know something about it.
“I don’t know about this one either….”
Mira shook her head vigorously, as though she had no idea.
“A very long time ago….”
“…Vika, do you know anything about this kind of constitution?”
Fortunately, Vika began providing backup by revealing that she knew something about this constitution.
“I’ve seen a virgin produce breast milk even though she didn’t have any children.”
“Then Ria… is producing breast milk for no reason?”
“Yeah~. There’s a good chance.”
“…What an unbelievable coincidence.”
Karina didn’t understand it, but since apparently such cases existed, she decided to believe it and approached me, stroking my head.
“…Can I stand up now?”
Acard, whose name had been completely cleared, asked the three wives whether he could stand up, but—
“No.”
“No~. You can’t~.”
“No.”
They firmly ordered him to remain on his knees, and he made a face like an unjustly punished puppy.
“I’m sorry, Ria. I had no idea you had that kind of constitution.”
“…It’s fine.”
I wanted to tell Karina, who had continued ravaging my breasts even after I told her to stop, to expose her own boobs and accept her punishment, but since the situation was over, I had no intention of demanding any further accountability.
I had also discovered a constitution I hadn’t known about.
And the sensation of squirting breast milk was refreshingly satisfying, more than I’d expected.
Everything was fine except for the fishy smell of milk reaching my nose.
“Then you really haven’t done it with Acard?”
“In the bathroom, we just slipped and ended up in that position… There wasn’t any penetration at all. Right, Acard?”
“Yeah! Ria’s telling the truth!”
Even though the position Acard and I had ended up in when we fell in the bathroom had been no different from cowgirl, I had even checked by touch that my hymen was still intact, so there had absolutely been no penetration.
“Thank goodness…. We almost broke our promise to get pregnant on the same day.”
“…?”
“Ria is Acard’s wife now too, so we all have to get pregnant on the same day. Right?”
“…I’m not a wife, though.”
Since the subject suddenly veered somewhere strange, I immediately scowled and waved my hands, prompting Karina to let out a hearty laugh.
“Don’t lie, Ria! If you aren’t married, how could a man and woman reveal their naked bodies to each other without embarrassment?”
She asked whether showing off one’s naked body was embarrassing, but although this body was a woman’s, my mind was that of a man, so showing my body to Acard really didn’t bother me.
Besides, even if my body was female, showing it naked wasn’t all that embarrassing to begin with.
Since my original body hadn’t been female, it still sometimes felt like a man’s body.
“I’m not embarrassed at all—ngh….”
“That attitude is exactly the same as ours, Ria~!”
Vika snapped her fingers, clung to my shoulder, and rubbed her cheek against mine.
“We’re fine with showing Acard our naked bodies too~.”
“No… I just…”
It felt as though every attempt at persuasion was being effortlessly deflected by perfect tai chi…
“Even if fate is unfolding…, I’m truly envious of how quickly it’s progressing.”
Mira went a step further, pulling a crystal ball about the size of a face out of nowhere, displaying constellations, and reading my fortune.
“…Look into the crystal.”
She abruptly held the crystal ball in front of my eyes and began chanting an incomprehensible spell.
“What is it…? This is creepy….”
Violet mana swirled through the transparent crystal ball that had previously held nothing, and I got goosebumps as it seemed about to reveal a hazy image.
‘Acard…! I love you!’
The moment the swirling mana settled into a steady flow, the image became clear, showing me passionately whispering words of love to Acard.
‘I like you so muuuch….’
I gazed at Acard with eyes brimming with love instead of my usual dead-fish eyes.
Whenever I got the chance, I clung to Acard and acted coquettishly, even rubbing my breasts all over him.
‘Hehe… Acaaard….’
My jaw dropped at behavior of mine that was utterly feminine.
“Fuck….”
A curse slipped naturally from my lips.
“What future do you see?!”
“Eek! You startled me!!!”
Just as the image showed me acting coquettishly and beginning intercourse with Acard, Mira suddenly thrust her face into view and startled me, so I instinctively brought my fist down on the crown of her head.
“Eep… It huuurts….”
“I didn’t see anything!”
“…Waaah…!”
Leaving Mira behind as she covered her battered crown with her palm, sat down on the floor, and began chirping as she cried, I was about to run to Acard and tell him to do something about his wives when—
Remembering the future I had seen in the crystal ball, I immediately changed direction and tried to leave the training ground.
“Ria~. We haven’t finished training yet~.”
Vika flew through the air, landed in front of the training-ground door to block my path, and smiled seductively.
“If you really want to leave~. Try taking my dagger from me~.”
“…Damn it!!”
I didn’t want to accept the terrible fate of becoming Acard’s wife, which was creeping closer and closer.
So, since that provocation was clearly a threat to make me become his wife under the guise of training,
“Give me the dagger!!”
“!!!”
Determined never to let something like fate control my life, I kicked off the training-ground floor and charged at Vika.
“Hup!!”
“Where do you think you’re going~!!”
Drawing on my experience as a swimming instructor, which had meant diving frequently for work, I reached for Vika’s dagger, but she reacted at the last moment and bent her body acrobatically out of the way, causing my first ambush to fail.
Even so, I had the initiative, which meant every moment Vika spent moving was practically an opening.
“Haaah!!”
I scooped up a handful of dirt and sand from the training-ground floor and flung it at Vika, obscuring her vision.
“Cough…! You’re pretty good, Ria~!?”
Impressed by how skillfully I had used the surrounding environment, Vika leaped high into the air.
“Then try countering this too~!”
She scattered black mist, covering the surroundings in darkness.
“…Where is she?”
The darkness surrounded me whether I looked to the side, ahead, or behind.
With my vision completely blocked, I had no way of gauging Vika’s location, but—
“…?”
Then a clever idea occurred to me: did I really need to steal Vika’s dagger when all I had to do was leave the training ground?
Drawing on my experience swimming with my eyes closed and without goggles, I focused on the sensation of the dirt beneath my toes.
“Here!”
I noticed the precise direction leading outside the training ground and quickly dashed off.
“Nope~! That’s a no-go~!”
“Kyaaah!”
The dark mist suddenly vanished, and Vika popped out of nowhere, tripping me with her long leg.
“Ouch…!”
I crashed to the dirt floor with a thud and couldn’t get up.
“Ria~. If you don’t get up, today we’ll train with you all the way to the end… Oh my!”
“…Uuugh.”
I had hit my breasts hard when I fell, causing breast milk to start flowing again.
“Oh no…! Ria…! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean for this to happen…!”
Apparently Vika hadn’t intended to torment me this badly, because she was startled and immediately returned to being the kind, gentle dark-elf gyaru she was, checking my condition, but—
Swish—!
Taking advantage of Vika’s complete defenselessness, I snatched the dagger from her hand and held it up triumphantly.
“…Huh?”
Vika, who had suddenly had her dagger snatched away, fell silent for about three seconds, apparently unable to understand what had happened.
“…I never expected that~. I completely lost~.”
She shrugged, wore an innocent expression at having been completely outplayed, and helped me up.
“You completely fooled me, Ria~. How did you plan such a perfect act in such a short time~?”
“It wasn’t acting…?”
“…Hmm?”
I hugged my breasts, which were still leaking milk, to deal with the immediate problem first and confessed the truth to Vika.
“When I fell, I saw the dagger… Hehe….”
Drip—. Perhaps because I had bumped my nose when I fell, a bright-red nosebleed began streaming down as I smiled cheerfully.
“A nosebleed?! Acard!!”
“W-wait a moment!!”
Acard hurried over with a handkerchief from his pocket and staunched the blood flowing from my nose.
“Did I do good?”
I gave Acard a peace sign and spoke through my stuffy nose.
“…Ria, you really are something.”
Acard smiled helplessly and continued staunching the bleeding with practiced ease.
“Ah. Do you have something like a towel, Acard?”
“Huh? I should go get a towel, but why?”
“Milk keeps coming out.”
Breast milk was flowing unpleasantly heavily from both my breasts.
I wanted to ask if there was anything I could use to wipe it up, so I thrust out my breasts and showed Acard the miserable breast-milk flood.
“……. …Just… a moment?”
Acard’s eyes had been fixed blankly on my chest for a moment, where the white training clothes had become soaked and my breasts were now completely visible, but he belatedly came to his senses.
“…Karina. I need your help for a moment.”
“Understood.”
After calling over Karina, who was closest, and asking her to tend to me, Acard practically flew across the training ground to fetch a towel.
“…He’s really fast.”
“Don’t talk, Ria. The bleeding will get worse.”
“Okay.”
As I marveled at Acard’s cannonball-like speed while quietly receiving treatment,
“…Slurp.”
I became curious about how the milk tasted, so I slipped a hand beneath my top, dabbed the milk from the tip of my nipple, and brought it to my mouth.
“…Ugh.”
I learned that breast milk tasted worse than expected: fishy and watery.
“What does it taste like?”
“Fishy, like plain water….”
Karina was apparently curious about the taste of breast milk too, because she subtly asked me, and I kindly shared my impressions while smacking my lips.
“Want to try some?”
“Hmm?”
While staunching my nosebleed, Karina’s gaze remained fixed on my breasts, so I cautiously offered when I noticed her staring.
“Am I allowed to?”
“It’s fine.”
It wasn’t as though trying it would hurt anything, and so much milk was flowing that we had to do something about it.
So I invited the pretty woman before me to taste it, planning both to deal with the situation and to relieve the lust slowly welling up inside me.
“…I want to try some too.”
“Me too….”
“…Huh?”
Just as I began lifting my top, intending to give Karina some breast milk, Vika and Mira, who had apparently been listening too, joined the tasting party.
“…Do as you please.”
I readily gave them permission to drink if they wanted to, then lifted my top the rest of the way, fully exposing my breasts as milk dripped from them.
I felt sorry that I had no intention of giving any breast milk to Acard, who had gone to fetch a towel and left the training ground.
