The Night of the Festival (2)

I entered the bathroom and lowered myself into the bathtub, which had already been filled with water.

Today, for some reason, I felt like boiling myself in the bathtub.

The moment I sank into it, a warm, pleasant sensation spread through my entire body. Letting myself go limp, I slowly melted into the bathtub. Even before I became like this, I had enjoyed the sensation of getting into warm water, but perhaps because this body was more sensitive, it seemed to feel even better.

“...”

I want to speak.

Honestly, I did have some desire to say whatever I wanted, but after spending so long without speaking, I had grown used to it. In the game, Lumia was said to be unable to speak, so why could I speak?

...

I don't know.

No, let's stop thinking about this.

I was soaking in a warm bathtub, and if I started having complicated thoughts, my head might heat up and I might pass out right there.

...

I glanced down at my breasts.

Where had the me who had said I shouldn't take an interest in them, that I had to endure, gone?

Why was I interested in my body at all?

If only the real Lumia would suddenly appear in my head.

Then my self-loathing would make me stop doing this too.

But that had never happened, and it never would.

How should I put it? I couldn't know for certain, but I had a feeling that was the case.

I had wanted to wash up and leave, but my eyes kept drifting downward. A body that looked smooth all over, soft skin, a slight mound rising from my chest, and... the tip of the waterfall visible between my thighs...

“...///”

Ah, why did I keep thinking like this?

Was it because I had taken it out briefly to check earlier and smelled it so much?

That had to be it.

Otherwise, there was no way I would have found it this hard to suppress these thoughts.

Women weren't free of sexual desire, and on top of that, I had smelled a large amount of the aphrodisiac last time, and seemed to have caught its scent again when I was about to put it outside this time. Normally, I would have simply washed up, gone out, and lain down on the bed to sleep, but really...

I feel like I'm going crazy..

Even if this was a couples' room, why would they put something like that in here?

Maybe they were encouraging it... Uh...

From the couples' perspective, it was probably something they ought to be grateful for. Who would object to something that created the mood? It was called an aphrodisiac, but it wasn't an illegal drug, and unless you actually ate it, it wouldn't cause any serious problems. It merely made you feel a certain way.

The problem was people like me.

Yes, people like the Hero and me...

‘Phew..’

I wanted to calm down, but it was difficult.

I shook my head from side to side.

I had a feeling that if I kept suppressing it like this, another problem might erupt someday.

Last time, I had barely managed to stop my hand from repeatedly drifting downward without realizing it. This time, the concentration was much lower, yet the fact that I still felt like doing this was proof that everything was continuing to build up.

If I kept holding it in and something like this happened again, I might really pounce on the Hero without even realizing it.

I might lose control, pounce on him, then become so disgusted with myself that I tried to kill myself.

I genuinely thought so.

No wonder this was an erotic game.

...

I suppose it couldn't be helped.

I wondered whether it was all right to do this while I was in the water, but I remembered how characters in fiction did it without a problem, so I reached out my hand. When I lightly touched my breast, a soft yet yielding sensation traveled to my fingertips.

I had never touched a woman's breasts in real life, so I had wondered what they would feel like. I had never imagined that I would end up touching my own. As I focused on the sensation and fondled them a few times, a slightly tingling yet pleasant feeling began to emerge.

Haaah..

I exhaled.

Since I had cast a spell to keep my voice from coming out, all that emerged was the sound of my breathing, but even that made me feel stranger than before. After fondling my breasts for a while, I began to get bored, so I moved my hand even more carefully toward my nipple.

“...”

Ngh..

A slightly strange sensation.

Judging purely by sensation, it was a little less intense than touching the part with its skin peeled back, but I could still feel it. When I looked down, I saw that, unlike before, my nipple was erect.

I had heard that this part became erect when someone was sexually aroused...

Am I... aroused?

A wave of embarrassment rushed over me.

If I had still been a man, I might have simply shrugged it off, but being aroused in a woman's body brought a completely different sensation and feeling, and embarrassment rose within me before I knew it.

I seriously wondered whether I should stop, but then I shook my head.

I had come this far.

I couldn't stop.

I looked farther down.

The angle alone would have made it difficult to see properly, and being in the water made it even more impossible.

After wondering what to do, I decided to get out of the bathtub.

Right now, sexual curiosity took precedence over the comfort and relaxation I had felt when I first entered the tub.

I stepped out of the bathtub and stood in front of the mirror.

I didn't know whether it was because I had been in the hot bathtub or because I was sexually aroused, but my face was flushed, my eyes wandered aimlessly, my nipples showed above my breasts, and between my legs...

‘Ugh..’

This was strange.

In the past, I thought I had spoken of it as though it were nothing, but perhaps because I was facing it directly while in a woman's body, I found it difficult even to put the word into my thoughts. I wasn't even saying it aloud; I was merely thinking it, yet I couldn't understand why my feelings were so complicated.

I was only looking.

I carefully spread my legs.

Then,

‘Aah..’

The vulva that had been hidden between my legs was revealed.

This was the first time I had seen it since becoming this body.

Until now, I had consciously tried my best not to look at it. Even when I went to the bathroom, I always closed my eyes and merely wiped myself with toilet paper, and when I washed, I generally tried not to look at it either.

Because of that, this was the first time I had spread my legs and looked directly.

Perhaps because I had never touched it, it was clenched shut.

Is this a vulva..?

As if bewitched, I took hold of the mounds on either side with both hands and carefully spread them apart.

‘Ah..’

Pink inner flesh was revealed, along with a small but unmistakable opening.

I wasn't completely ignorant of female anatomy, and I knew roughly where the vagina was. It would be the slightly larger opening below, not the one above.

It was such a small opening that I wondered whether my finger could even fit inside.

Does it... go in here?

If I ever experienced it... it would be with the Hero.

I didn't know how large the Hero's was, but imagining something like that entering here frightened me a little.

As for a man's... that, I had seen it every day in the past, so there was no way I wouldn't know what it was like.

Before I could even think about how large the Hero's might be, I unconsciously imagined his cock inside my pussy, with him pinning me down. He was the Hero, so he probably wasn't small... but imagining something as large as my forearm entering here while he crushed me beneath him...

‘Lumia..’

The Hero on top of me brought his lips to my ear.

The Hero's sweet, pleasant voice echoed beside my ear as he began to move his hips. Something enormous repeatedly pushed deep inside me before withdrawing, while the Hero's voice calling my name rang throughout the room.

It was a sensation I had never experienced before.

I didn't even know what it would feel like...

It would surely be like that...

‘Ngh..’

My lower abdomen began to feel strange.

Without realizing it, I clutched my lower belly and breathed out.

It was similar to the sensation of dropping downward while riding something like a Viking ride.

Between the bathroom's characteristic heat, the aphrodisiac scent I had smelled earlier, and the masturbation I had performed by stimulating my nipple in the bathtub, I wasn't in my right mind. Because of the bathroom's atmosphere and my overheated body, I had half lost my senses and could do nothing but pant.

‘This is... practice..’

Practice.

I hadn't seen the Hero's, but if it was the Hero's, it would probably be large. If I tried to take it, I might tear.

Do I really have to do it with the Hero...? Do I love the Hero..?

To do it with the Hero...

Suddenly, I remembered the face of the man who always smiled at me, who sometimes worried about me and sometimes took care of me like a father.

I remembered the worried expression he had worn when he saved me, that face of his that was always there for me. Not long ago, when I had nearly been attacked by a tentacled monster, he had appeared in an instant, killed the tentacles with a single blow, and saved me.

Even then, the Hero had been worried about me.

Seriously... what was with him? Why did he care only about me, of all people...?

With a dazed expression, I raised a finger and touched the opening inside my vulva.

Since I was wet from the water in the bathroom, it wasn't particularly tight. It might even have been fair to call it soft.

A slippery sensation traveled to my fingertips.

And then,

‘Nghh..’

A sticky sensation and the pleasant feeling of stroking such a sensitive area coursed through my entire body. As if addicted, I stroked the inner flesh around my vulva, then suddenly discovered something like a pea above it.

The clitoris... was it?

‘I'm curious..’

Wondering what it would feel like, I brought my slippery finger to my clitoris and rubbed it.

I only rubbed it slightly, very slightly.

At that moment.

‘Nghh..?!’

A sensation that couldn't even be compared to what I had felt before raced through my entire body.

I trembled as though I had been electrocuted.

What was this..?

I didn't know anything like this.

I had never felt a sensation like this, even when I was a man.

It was so completely different that I couldn't even assess it properly, but one thing was certain.

It felt better than when I was a man.

As the sensation finally subsided, I gulped down breath after breath and calmed myself.

‘Th-this is dangerous..’

No.

This wasn't right.

Yet another thought arose in a corner of my mind.

Maybe doing it with the Hero would feel even better than this.

What was I thinking when I had never even tried it..?

I gave a small laugh.

‘I want to... do more..’

I wanted to try more.

The clit... later...

Right now, I was more interested in the opening than that.

I crooked my finger into a hook, shortening it, and brought it to the opening. I felt a sticky, clinging yet smooth liquid. At first, I thought it was simply water, but after touching it repeatedly, I began to realize what it was.

It was vaginal lubrication.

‘In all my life, I never thought I'd see vaginal lubrication..’

A baseless thought told me it would be all right, so I inserted my finger. I felt the strange yet subtle sensation of forcing open a closed part, the sensation of it squeezing my finger, and, at the same time, the sensation of the vagina tightening around it.

‘Ngh..’

I inhaled once again.

Surely... you put it in and take it out again, right..?

As I felt the inside gradually loosen, I began repeatedly inserting and withdrawing my finger. Once it had begun to loosen, simply inserting my finger no longer gave me much sensation, so I moved it around and began lightly tapping the vaginal walls.

As if falling into a trance, the more absorbed I became in the act, the more the fantasy I had started earlier continued.

‘Ahh..’

I imagined myself pinned beneath him with his cock buried inside me, moaning. Even though I couldn't speak, the me in my imagination panted as though I could and accepted the Hero's cock. Despite how small the pussy was, the sight of it taking something so large looked rather pitiful.

Though he couldn't push it all the way to the base, the girl—me—wore a satisfied expression.

The Hero repeatedly whispered my name as he moved his hips.

Along with the lewd slap of flesh against flesh, his uncharacteristically filthy hands grabbed and twisted my breasts and nipples. Then he brought his face to mine and pressed his lips against mine as the movement of his hips sped up. The Hero's tongue entwined with mine as though refusing to let go, pushing deeper inside.

Although I couldn't speak, the Hero knew what I was trying to say.

‘Kk..!’

The Hero had been looking into my eyes and smiling as if to reassure me, but he slightly furrowed his brow and pushed his hips deeper inside.

My body instinctively wrapped my legs around his waist as if it didn't want to let go.

It felt as though my abdomen were being pierced, and at the same time, something pulsing filled me from within.

‘...♡’

As pleasure traveled up my spine and spread throughout my body, I drooled and let out a silent scream in unbearable ecstasy.

Trickle.

Vaginal lubrication, along with yellow liquid spurting from the opening above it, flowed out of my vulva.

Lost in the afterglow, I leaned against the bathtub and caught my breath.

I could vaguely tell what I had experienced.

Covered in self-loathing and the afterglow of climax, I slid down the bathtub until I was half reclining and looked into the mirror.

There stood a naked girl with her legs spread, exposing her vulva, breasts, and anus, her face flushed as she wore the expression of a female intoxicated by an intense pleasure she had never experienced before.

I wanted to escape from the mirror, but perhaps because all the strength had drained from my body,

I couldn't even sit up.

I had to keep facing myself exactly as I was now.

What had I been thinking..?

Whom I had used as masturbatory material... I knew that all too well..

I covered my face with both hands.

It was an unforgettable night.
