Basson, a provincial city located near the northern border of Celesta Merchant Nation and close to the Kingdom of Trot. Far removed from the western frontier with the Afilum Empire, which currently serves as the nation’s primary defensive line, Basson is lightly garrisoned: a single hundred-man unit, consisting entirely of crossbow squads specialized in large-scale combat support, stationed carelessly at the modest Merchant Nation military outpost nearby.
The Northern Legion has no ties to either the eastern or western frontlines, nor does it draw from the southern region known for producing elite troops. Frankly speaking, its actual combat effectiveness is not highly anticipated during wartime—a fact compounded by the heavy attrition suffered during the Trot War.
Furthermore, at present, the northern sector that should be under its protection is already overlaid by the Trot Legion, largely repurposed from the former Trot Kingdom’s army, making urgent crises less likely to arise in this area.
Thus, while “treasured reserve force” sounds flattering, the unit is essentially composed of upper command’s whimsical experimental divisions and training battalions labeled as “reserve forces,” spending their days researching new tactics or engaging in hornless drills.
Though it is well-known that the crossbow squad achieved significant merit during the Trot War, it is treated merely as one of several experimental units. Being an experimental unit left idle with nothing to do creates a deeply uncomfortable atmosphere; even when told casually, “Just stay and train however you like,” members are left unsure of what exactly they should be doing.
Regular infantry or cavalry units might push themselves to the limit through rigorous personal training, showcasing their growth as potential candidates for the Ace Knight examinations, but crossbows are inherently simple in operation, relying heavily on magical support. No matter how hard one tries to maximize their capabilities, there are clear limits. Moreover, these units only achieve peak effectiveness when wielded directly by a single charismatic leader who can manipulate them at will.
Consequently, during this unexpectedly granted long leave, Arnie Boyd—an 18-year-old male Ogre unable to return home—spent his days in the barracks. After completing a decent amount of archery practice each morning, he ran back and forth along the one-hour walking route to Basson City as a substitute for marching drills, using the opportunity to enjoy fleeting moments with his beautiful human girlfriend, Sylvia (19 years old), under the guise of “training.”
Although no squad leader was present in the barracks urging him to train harder, and visiting her daily posed no issues whatsoever, Earnie felt uneasy about constantly loitering around while Sylvia worked at her fried food shop from noon until evening. So, he doubled down on his own training efforts.
“Good work, Earnie-kun.”
“Oh, y-yes! Hello there, Sylvia-san!”
Sweat dripping down his body, Earnie ran along the ruts left by horse carriages. Sylvia greeted him with a bright smile in the grassy field just outside town.
Beside her stood a water bucket and several whole roasted birds—prepared since morning in anticipation of his arrival.
“Sylvia-san… I’m really happy about the roasted birds, but… isn’t preparing them every day too much trouble?”
“It’s fine, Earnie-kun. You caught that boar for me not long ago. Compared to that, this is practically nothing.”
As a mandatory skill in Ogre colonies, Earnie occasionally spotted wild boars or deer and hunted them, bringing the meat back to Sylvia’s family home. Her mother rejoiced greatly, while her father wore a stern expression.
Earnie felt slightly discouraged, thinking he might be unwelcome. Yet, it was natural for a human father to feel uneasy if his daughter, standing at an imposing 277 cm tall, had fallen deeply in love with such a massive Ogre. But Sylvia genuinely loved Earnie with all her heart.
“Heheh. Today, I tried changing the herbs used for marinating and the sauce coating.”
“Then… let’s eat!”
Earnie took a hearty bite of the roasted bird with his characteristically large Ogre mouth.
“Mmm, delicious!”
“Which one do you prefer—the one from yesterday or today?”
“Both are equally hard to choose between…”
“Nope. You have to pick.”
Sylvia pressed close against him, poking his broad face with her finger as she demanded an answer.
Earnie looked troubled and took a small sip from the water bucket. To humans, it would be a large barrel, but for an Ogre of his size, it was roughly equivalent to a slightly oversized mug.
“Then… today’s one?”
“Got it. Yeah. I’ll work hard tomorrow too.”
“Yes. Looking forward to it!”
After delivering lunch to Earnie, Sylvia headed off to her fried food shop. Meanwhile, Earnie ran back and forth between the barracks and the city multiple times, occasionally hunting wild animals he encountered along the way, waiting for Sylvia to finish work before taking their short walk home—a daily date routine. …Well, usually.
”…So, Earnie-kun?”
“Huh?”
Ernie, who was in the middle of devouring his third roasted bird, had begun to wonder why Silvia hadn’t returned to town yet. But then she smiled and hopped up onto his lap with a soft byokon, making him jump.
“Actually, today’s my day off~”
”…Really?”
“Yeah. So let’s go on a date this afternoon♪”
”…………”
Ernie was absolutely thrilled. However, an ogre’s expression of excitement is not easily conveyed to humans.
“So… or maybe… do you have work to do, Ernie-kun?”
“N-no, I don’t think so… uh-oh!”
Date.
Not just a casual chat as usual, but a luxurious half-day outing.
Should I rush back to get the jacket Kelly gave me? Or since humans supposedly hate the smell of sweat (ogres, including females, barely care about it), maybe I should find some water nearby to wash off the perspiration? Ernie spun his eyes around in thought.
“Since we’re going on a date, I guess I should… um… freshen up a bit.”
“Eh? Then our date time will get cut short!”
“T-there’s no time! At least let me get rid of the sweat smell or something!”
“I like you even if you’re sweating, Ernie-kun?”
”…………Uuu…”
Should I act spoiled? Or is she just tolerating it?
While worrying about such things, Ernie couldn’t resist Silvia’s upward glance as she tugged at his short sleeve, and he simply went along with the flow.
”…W-where are we going?”
“Hehe♪ Let’s go hiking!”
“Hiking, huh? Alright then.”
Ernie had been worried that if they went to the arena, other humans might frown at his sweaty smell, indirectly embarrassing Silvia. But now he felt relieved. He was a timid person who, once he started worrying, tended to overthink everything. That overly delicate side of his, which didn’t match his massive frame, was actually Silvia’s most irresistible charm.
Silvia loved being carried on Ernie’s shoulders.
Even though it’s called “shoulder ride,” since a girl couldn’t straddle him comfortably due to the thickness of his neck, she sat on just one side of his shoulder instead.
“It’s high up, Ernie-kun.”
“Of course, I’m an ogre.”
“With how tall I am, humans must be tiny and hard to notice, right?”
”…To be honest, sometimes I almost kick kids by mistake.”
If an ogre steps on a human child, it won’t end well. He’d never actually done it, but in the barracks, ogre soldiers had accidentally kicked dwarves, leading to fights.
”…I’m really so small… To Ernie-kun, I must look like a cat or something.”
“N-no, that’s not it… Silvia-san is… more than that… wonderful… uh!”
“M-moments ago you were saying don’t make me blush just because we’re in the forest, Ernie-kun!”
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!”
”…But I’m happy.”
The ogre and the human, one above, one below—though their scales differ, they both turn bright red in the same way. Together, under the midday sun in the forest, they shyly avert their gazes yet refuse to let go of each other.
Unable to bear the silence, they desperately try to think of something to say, anything at all.
Just as he opens his mouth, Silvia beats him to it by a fraction of a second.
”…Well, Mr. Earnie…”
“Oh um… y-yes!”
“So… how big do ogre babies get? Could I possibly have one too?”
“Oh, w-well… uh, well, human and ogre infants are almost the same size, so it should be fine… b-but oh no—”
“I see. I was just a little worried.”
“Oh no no no… m-me and… Silvia-san’s… child…”
Arnie Boyd’s brain boils over. Though he’d already lost his virginity to Silvia, her usual reserved demeanor had kept them from ever crossing that line again. Yet he knew exactly how good it felt; the moment he became aware of it, his groin began to throb with youthful vitality.
”…Mr. Earnie?”
“Yes!”
“This is in the forest. No one’s around.”
“I-I see…”
“So… so… we’re having a boy, right?”
“Y-yes… it’ll be a boy…”
Silvia cradles the back of Earnie’s head, holding back her own embarrassment. This is Silvia giving everything she can muster in an invitation. Though she’s well past her prime, she has no aversion to sex—in fact, every time they meet like this, she finds herself wanting Earnie in her arms. But speaking it aloud feels too shameful. She doesn’t want to be the only one eager; if Earnie isn’t feeling it, there’s no point. That’s why she’s waited so long for him to finally say what he wants.
“Well… Silvia-san. Um, a little… uh, I’m not sure if I should say this… but… let’s… get it on.”
”…Idiot…”
“D-Does that mean no? No, right? Ahaha…”
“No, it doesn’t… I’ve been waiting for this forever.”
“Haa… um, well…”
“You’re dense!”
Using his neck as a handle, she swings down like a pendulum until her chest is before him.
She kisses him once, then slowly removes her jacket in the dappled sunlight.
“Oh! Earnie-kun, take yours off too! Don’t make me feel shy all by myself!”
“U-uhh!”
Earnie hurriedly begins to undress as well.
And so, in the forest, they stand facing each other, naked.
“S-Such… beautiful.”
”…Thank you. You’re wonderful too, Ernie.”
Silvia gazed dreamily at Ernie’s small yet exquisite organ—unusually petite for an ogre—still straining upward with eager anticipation as he sought her out.
”…Ernie-kun. Do it again like before.”
“Eh? E-er…?”
“Let me hold you in those big hands of yours, pound your little one hard against my crotch… and then make me cum lots…♪”
Like a child begging for a hug from their parent, fully naked Silvia spread her arms wide.
Ernie gently grasped her body, lightly caressing her breast with his thumb before tilting her backward onto his lap in front of him.
“H-Hey! Breasts… it’s getting dirty…”
“I-I’m sorry!”
”…Ernie-kun. I keep saying this, but being lovers means we can be dirty together, right?”
”…Yes.”
“That’s why you don’t need to apologize. …I’d love nothing more than for Ernie-kun to feel dirty with me. You probably think if you get dirty with me, I’ll dislike you, don’t you?”
”…Just a little bit.”
“I won’t dislike you. Absolutely not. …If people see us undressing or having sex in public, maybe I might get slightly annoyed… but only a tiny bit.”
“No way!”
“Right? Then I’ll never dislike you. So whenever you think no one’s watching, go ahead and do all sorts of dirty things.”
”…D-Do… I can?”
“Yes. You can hide in the grass and lick my breasts. You can let me lick your crotch while we’re in the bushes. It’d make me happy if you kept massaging my butt like this. Bringing me into the forest and letting you put your crotch inside me is fine too. Even staying at an inn all day long, pounding away with your crotch… And if we end up having an ogre baby together… would you take me as your wife?”
“E-Even if we don’t… If I’m okay with it, please marry me!”
“Yes♪ …Since becoming my future bride means you can do any dirty thing you want, give it your all♪”
“H-Hai!!”
With a wet squelch, Ernie thrust his organ deep into Silvia in a moment of overwhelming emotion.
“Aaaah♪”
Silvia showed off her slender throat as she basked in pleasure.
“Ah, Ernie-kun… you’re inside me again…♪”
“Miss Silvia… I’m so turned on…”
He slowly pushed all the way in, then gently withdrew.
Adjusting between the brakes of reason and the accelerator of beastly instinct, he gradually increased his pace.
“Ernie-kun… Ernie-kun, I love you so much…♪ Being touched by a man like you makes me incredibly happy…!!”
“I-I do too… I love you, Silvia! My brain’s not good enough to say anything else, but I truly, truly love you!! If only we could stay like this forever!”
”…H-Haaah… Ah, haa… Ernie-kun loves me too…?”
While being rocked backward, Silvia smiled with genuine happiness.
“I want your crotch all the time…♪ I want to be filled by you endlessly, forever and ever…!!”
“Kkkk!”
In the heart of a forest at high noon, an ogre is being relentlessly demanded by a beautiful alien lover clad in nothing but grace. Is there anyone else so utterly blessed?
”……K-k-aaahhh!!”
The moment he saw Silvia’s pure yet lustful expression radiating deep happiness, Earnie gritted his teeth, struggling against the pleasure surging through him. In an instant, his restraint shattered; he slammed his glans hard against Silvia’s vulva and erupted.
“Nn-ha! Ah, aaaaahhh♪”
“Silvia-san!!”
He poured a torrent of semen into her. For a while, Silvia shuddered violently in rhythm with the pulsations, but as the ejaculation ended, she slumped, losing all strength with a soft “kun.”
“S-Silvia……-san…”
“U-un… lying on my back makes my neck tired…”
She hadn’t lost consciousness; relieved, Earnie began to lift his hips away—only for Silvia to protest.
“N-no! Don’t pull out yet!”
“But—”
”……K-k-next time, if you let me lie face-down, I can take it… Earnie-kun, you still want more, don’t you…?”
”……Should we keep going like this?”
“Yes… because I said I wanted to do it all the time…♪”
She lifted her heavy-lidded gaze and smiled at Earnie.
“One session isn’t ‘all the time,’ you know.”
“Silvia-san…”
”……Let’s do it♪ We’re lovers who adore each other beyond measure, after all♪”
”……Yes!”
That day, their murmurs of affection never ceased until dusk.
By the way, ogres being relentlessly demanded by alien lovers from midday onward were actually quite common.
“K-Keito, Linne… hey, how many hours a day do you guys actually wear clothes these days?”
“Hmm… I don’t know…♪”
“As a new wife, there’s no need for modesty. I’m ready to burn and discard my underwear so I can always receive Kelly-san’s love.”
“No, calm down. If you try that, the bovine ogre colony won’t have any spare small clothes. And if you walk around like that, everyone in the colony will think I’m a pervert, and I’ll be socially ruined.”
“If we change locations, it’ll be fine.”
“So… more dick, dick action!”
“Ah, damn it, those变态 wolves! Absolutely no burning allowed! If Mom sees me like this again, I’ll cry!”
A few special cases. The final part is from the Isaac arc in Side Story 2. During the original serialization, both arcs were running simultaneously.
