Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with the Water Spirit.
“The Spirit Festival’s already over, huh…” At dawn in the Helicon inn, Gash murmured while letting the dry northern wind drift through the window. Below him, the town was bustling as common folk began cleaning up after the festivities. In Celesta, the most energetic creatures are undoubtedly the merchants. Without being prompted by anyone else, they’re already hard at work preparing for the next festival, eager to spend their earnings tomorrow. Watching human, lizardman, and fox-beast traders hurriedly pass the town exit with their camels and desert lizards in tow, Gash remained motionless for a while. He wanted to bring up the next topic with the girl behind him, but he couldn’t quite find the words. Hesitating for five minutes… Back when he served in the Celesta army, Gash was known as the one with the most reckless courage in the unit. He’d summoned that same bravery countless times, shaking himself up to speak just a single word, then casually letting out his usual light voice. “What are we going to do now, Heely?” The Water Spirit, Heely Water, had wished only to “see the Spirit Festival.” Even though she was a spirit, she couldn’t freely attend the festival dedicated to spirits—a grievance that needed resolving. That mission had been assigned to Gash, whose tail had been severed, whose pride as a warrior shattered, and who had lost his purpose in living. Once this is over, what happens? Won’t Heely simply merge with the water currents of this region again and disappear somewhere else? …Even though he knew they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn’t shake that unease.
“There’s still time before checkout… let me sleep a bit longer…”
The question born of his once-in-a-lifetime courage was easily brushed aside.
Turning around, he found Heely wriggling like a caterpillar inside her blanket.
“Hey, you’re a spirit, so why are you such a sleepyhead!”
“Because Gash wouldn’t let me sleep until dawn…? Come on, yesterday was already a special day… Why don’t you come over here and sleep too? You’re an ectotherm, yet you’re acting like you need to wake up early…”
“Just because my blood pressure is low doesn’t make me an ectotherm!”
Even as he muttered that, Gash slowly sank back into the bed.
Inside the blanket, Heely—still naked from their passionate night together—slid carelessly into his arms, half-asleep.
“Nyu-foo…”
“That’s what I’m saying… didn’t you say you wanted to see the Spirit Festival when we first met?”
”…Did I?”
“It was only four or five months ago!?”
“Right… but somehow all that erotic stuff Gash did since then was just too intense…”
”…Anyway. We’ve achieved our goal, so what are we going to do?”
”…What should we do…? Then again, I’d love to go somewhere warm until the next Spirit Festival…”
“You still want to see the Spirit Festival?”
“Because it was fun, wasn’t it…”
Pressing herself against Gash’s chest with a drowsy demeanor, Heely nuzzled her soft cheek against him.
”…Well, fine then.”
Gash sighed in relief and hugged her small head tightly.
Heery had already decided to spend the rest of her time with Gash, showing no sign whatsoever of considering a return to nature. I feel like I’ve lost out; my heart is pounding.
Just as these two were enjoying their leisurely morning, a dark elf burst in with high spirits.
“Hey there, you two! The night has finally ended!”
“Knock on the door and come in properly, you idiot! Don’t just phase through the walls!”
“Oh my, what a sour mood.”
“I told you to get up already, you jerk!”
The Light Spirit, Bright Light… that’s who she claimed to be. A beautiful androgynous dark elf by appearance.
Normally, if someone were a light spirit, I’d expect them to look more white-ish… but I’ll hold my tongue, because pointing that out might make Heery turn into a mammoth too. That kind of “don’t associate with lizardmen who don’t even have legs” attitude is very much in the lizardman’s nature.
“In any case, you’ve already paid back what you owed from yesterday! Check out and get lost!”
“Hahaha, quite the harsh treatment. But I don’t mind.”
“You keep barging into our private moments every time!”
“As far as I can tell, you two are enjoying your alone-time non-stop, aren’t you?”
Gash and Heery fell silent, their expressions tightening. They weren’t having sex from morning till night, but it couldn’t be denied that whenever they were alone together, their conversations took on a honeyed tone.
Now fully awake, the two got out of bed.
“So what is it? We’ll pay for the lodging, so go ahead and leave.”
“No, no—I hesitated because yesterday I couldn’t disturb you lovers as a spirit.”
Bright smiled warmly.
“I feel like I was plenty of a nuisance already.”
“I have a request, Gash Zapper.”
”…What?”
He was technically a benefactor. He couldn’t be called an idiot outright, so Gash reluctantly turned his face toward her while slipping his arms into the sleeves of his jacket.
“Let’s have sex.”
”…Huh?!”
Both Heery and Gash let out startled cries simultaneously.
“No, I mentioned this to Heery yesterday too, but you’re right—it might be better to try it myself rather than just watching others do it.”
“W-wait, why Gash?! Just grab any random elf around here instead!!”
Still half-naked, Heery clung to Gash, baring her teeth.
Bright blew in the wind like a carefree breeze.
“That’s up to Gash to decide, isn’t it? I’m not saying you have to become my husband or anything. I just want to fulfill this benefactor’s wish by letting him try sex once.”
“Oh dear, one time won’t feel good enough! Gash is all about momentum!”
“Hey, Heery, don’t get hurt.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Hahaha, then let’s aim for two or three times.”
“U-um… if that’s the case, I don’t think Gash has been properly evaluated yet. Maybe five times?”
“What are you planning to do by increasing it yourself, you idiotic spirit?”
Heely’s head popped up in surprise.
“But, but! If Nenene’s spirit thinks Gash is just bad at it, that would be terrible!!”
“I appreciate your concern, but this suspicious woman has fallen right into my trap!”
“How amusing, the two of you.”
In the end…
Even after checking out of the inn, Bright followed them.
“If we head south from here, should we go to the Raapal Islands or Sheer Island? …There’s also the option of taking a ship to enter the Goht Kingdom and heading to the Southern Great Plains.”
“Gash, have you ever been abroad?”
“No way! I’ve only been with the inland patrol unit until now.”
They left the town of Helicon.
To the east lay the Elf Forest Territory, but it wasn’t a place where someone like Heely—a soldier by no means and with questionable background—could easily pass through without trouble. While walking across the country to head south was only possible via the forest route, the forest territory was generally avoided by travelers for various reasons.
“So, are you going to Queeca then?”
”…Bright, how far will you follow us?”
“Well, until I’m done having sex with Gash.”
“That’s why it doesn’t matter if it’s not Gash!”
“Didn’t we agree on five times?”
”…Oh, did we?”
“Don’t get fooled. Or rather, don’t let yourself be manipulated, Heely.”
As they walked along the road, Gash grew increasingly uneasy, wondering when things would turn into some strange agreement.
“By the way, I can only get an erection from lizard women besides Heely!”
“Oh?”
”…Gash♪”
“Hmm. So, is this okay then?”
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people visible far ahead on the road, Bright opened his clothes to reveal himself.
His magnificent large breasts appeared in the corner of Gash’s wide-angle vision, but Gash slowly shook his head.
“Not even a twitch.”
”…Ugh, this is a tough problem. How can I have sex with Gash five times?”
“Just shut your damn chest!”
Heely pulled Bright’s clothes closed.
“That’s why it’s impossible! Even I’m confused—I’ve never felt any desire toward human-type women before.”
“Yet you seem to be lusting after Heely every night.”
“How do you know that?”
“Are you really doing it every night? You’re young, aren’t you?”
Gash’s tongue flicked as he got caught on the hanging blade.
Night fell. The foot traveler set up camp. Though a carriage would surely take him to the next town, Gash chose to camp out—he wanted to save money for lodging, anticipating the costs ahead. Strangers camping by the road were nothing unusual, and since this area had been cleared of bandits just six months ago, any thieves lurking around would be mere amateurs.
Even if a desperate man with a knife showed up, Gash, a seasoned warrior, could easily turn the tables on him without breaking a sweat. Besides, Heili might even surpass Gash in strength. Her water spirit, which summoned and manipulated water freely as a weapon without any elaborate gestures or incantations, defied current magical norms.
“Actually, I think just wandering around here is fine,” he said. “It’s still February, so it’ll get warm soon.”
“If we’re going to do nothing, let’s go somewhere farther away. With Gash, wherever we go, it’ll be fun.”
”…That guy.”
He couldn’t help but banter with Heili by the fire.
“Where did Bright go?”
“He must have gone flower-picking or something—he has his stuff with him.”
“Should I put something in for him while we’re at it?”
“Put what in?”
“Gash’s little… give it to me. If we hurry, I think I can make him cum once, probably.”
“You’re saying that weirdly again, you know.”
As he spoke, Gash couldn’t resist taking the unexpected opportunity. Sex with Heili had already become a nightly habit for Gash; he wanted to seize even the slightest chance.
Glancing around, Gash quickly pinned Heili down.
“Hurry up and let me finish it all at once.”
“You’re always ready, aren’t you?”
“Besides, I can tell when Gash’s getting horny♪”
The lizard’s lips and the spirit’s lips devoured each other. Even then, he swiftly pulled off his undergarments and thrust one side of his hemipenis into Heili with urgent intensity.
Familiar yet addictive pleasure wrapped around him.
“Hnngh…”
“Mmm… Gash, you could put both sides in at the same time, even while squeezing my ass.”
“If I put it in your ass, cleaning up would be a nightmare…”
“Just between us—if we start once, we can keep going even if Bright comes bothering us later…♪”
“This perverted spirit sure has guts…”
Heili began thrusting back and forth inside him from the very start, with no other goal than mutual climax—a hurried, intense encounter. This kind of play burned fiercely within them both.
Heili straddled the lizardman, her hands roaming over his rough scales while she rained kisses on his jagged reptilian face, continuing to thrust deep inside him.
And then—
“Hey, so you’ve finally started?” Bright appeared at the expected moment.
“N-nothing in particular, but maybe I wanted to say something later.” Gush snapped his hips while holding Heili down as if trying to keep her from escaping, looking up at Bright.
Bright was completely naked; he’d apparently been taking a dip in the nearby river. Water droplets slid over her curvaceous female form, reflecting off the moonlight and the bonfire, shimmering like gold and silver.
“No, I don’t really have anything to say. But may I join you?”
“Oh, oh no, not yet!?”
“No, honestly, that’s all I could think of. If I only get aroused by Heili, then there’s nothing for me to do but stay with her.”
“Eh, eh…?”
While accepting Gush’s arousal with her lower body, Heili let out a dissatisfied sound.
“Otherwise, one of us would just be wasting seed on the ground, right?”
“Well, that’s true…”
“In that case, excuse me.” With a soft exhale, Bright vanished in the moonlight.
The next instant, his plump naked body slid between Gush and Heili, who were now facing each other in an embrace-like position.
“Don’t keep using those surprise moves!”
“Come on, come on. It’s troublesome to pull out from Heili every time just to make room for me.”
Amidst a chuckling smile, the androgynous beauty’s expression was strangely childish, making Gush more startled than by her nakedness itself. Sensing this delicately, Heili pinched Gush’s soft side while saying, ”…B-besides, since we’re at it! Bright, don’t get too carried away either. This guy is my… uh, what should I call him?”
”…At least call him my boyfriend.”
“You think of me as merely your girlfriend? I thought you’d say ‘wife’!”
“Being your wife is hardly enough. You’re the woman of my destiny.”
“Then I’m the man of your destiny! Got it, Bright!?”
”…Yeah, yeah. Just along for the ride.”
The two spirits pressed their crotches together tightly, each craving a lizard-like appendage from the other’s genitals. Gush sighed as he vigorously stroked both protrusions.
