The Holy Beast Labyrinth, which would take days to reach on foot or by carriage from the Crimson Clan’s main hall, is within mere hours’ flight when Lyra takes to the skies.
“The Black Dragon… so that means there are two dragons… two dragonriders, in reality?”
As Neia murmurs aimless nonsense while perched atop Lyra’s back, a tiny phantom Lyra giggles gently at her.
“See now? The Dragon Covenant forbids the two dragons from serving identical justice… it does not say that much. In truth, it may simply be that they love different aspects of the same man.”
“Eh, but… no, if I’m talking about a ‘man,’ wouldn’t that be Mr. Smyson?”
“Mmm.”
“Eh, uh… yes… but, Mr. Smyson… um…”
“We do not seek power. We do not seek logic. We do not even seek bonds.”
”?”
“The dragon decides the rider. That is what a dragonrider is. Does lack of strength disqualify one? No. Does sound reasoning tame a dragon? No. Does the quantity of bonds determine the worthiness of the rider? No… Do not forget, do not err: the dragon does not choose its rider by qualification. No matter how strong, kind, or beautiful one may be, no single dragon would follow automatically. It is neither about being a hero nor about authority; it is simply whether the dragon’s heart makes an eternal vow.”
“Eh… uh…”
“Andy Smyson was weak, foolish, young, and had not lived among us for long, yet the way of life he showed tamed two dragons. Nothing more needs to be said. There are no further prerequisites to being a dragonrider.”
”…”
“See now? You called yourself a hero… Did you think that only an unparalleled hero or noble would be able to tame a dragon?”
“Oh, no… well…”
“The strong need no further aid. The high-born of this mundane world do not bow before dragons. The learned do not concern themselves with dragons. Pure affection alone is far too vulgar for any ceremony.”
“Then why him…?”
The tiny Lyra smiled.
“Becausel we felt that he would have no regrets.”
We land near the Holy Beast Labyrinth.
“Welcome. You’ve been gone a long time since you left before.”
Having spotted our figures approaching from afar, Diel promptly greets us on his一角馬 (unicorn).
“Traveled with Mr. Smyson and Ms. MacLean through the Forest Path. We arrived at the Crimson Clan’s territory in good time, but I couldn’t think of anything interesting near their main hall.”
Elenia says this casually. Diel smiles wryly.
“Well, compared to gold or silver… our clan’s estate might not be all that interesting after all.”
“In that case, since we’re passing by anyway, let’s check out the face of the Holy Beast first before heading off again. I’ll meet up with Lord Lyra and others along the way.”
“I see… Alright, I suppose tea would do for a start.”
Dayel turns back on his unicorn.
Me, Elenia, and Lyra, plus Diane, Aurora, and Neia all trail behind him in quick succession.
Without any formal welcome campfire ceremony, we made our way to the Holy Beast Labyrinth (the grassland above it).
There, many young elves were conversing with each other, playing harps and flutes, or practicing swordsmanship and archery.
It felt more open than the camp set up in front of the labyrinth, and there was much to learn from the Break Core. Perhaps for them, this place held an ideal quality after all.
“Hey!”
“Welcome! We could see you coming from far away.”
Break Core rushed over, shaking hands with me and Elenia.
Seeing how genuinely happy he seemed, I felt a bit happier too on my part.
“So, what brought you here? How long will you stay?”
Answering Break Core’s cheerful inquiry, I explained what had happened thus far—not that I could mention exactly where we’d done some dirty deeds, of course.
“I see…”
“Shall we head toward the White Territory tomorrow?”
Breakcore, hearing Irina’s words, wears a complex expression—somewhat regretful yet tinged with delight at the thought of being here until tomorrow.
And then…
“I… I’ve heard rumors about it, but you were truly real, Sacred Beast…”
In her own way, Neia, still sheltered from the world, felt a surge of excitement.
“Oh um, so they really were as strong? And immortal too…”
“Whether I’m currently very strong is debatable; I’d say I’m about half as powerful as I was at my peak. But immortality—that’s true. I’m fairly confident that means it’s not easy to kill me. Want to test me?”
“W-well, that’d be great. By the way… if you’ve lived for thousands of years like they say? Rumors are you’ve even seen the Hornless Ogre era or the Georoad period…”
“I’ve heard there were erics like that. But things got dangerous enough that the elves quickly sealed off the forests, so I can’t really claim to know much about it.”
She’s asking a ridiculous number of questions, but half of what she’s inquiring about, I don’t even understand myself.
“She’s surprisingly studious, Neia,” Diane observed with admiration.
“Hey, what were you talking about—the Hornless Ogre era or the Georoad?”
“More than a thousand years ago, there were eras where those kinds of state structures existed… Well, it’s an age where even commoners have no legends left from that time. Neia, you’re doing very well studying.”
”…But for me, even the Trot Kingdom and the Elves’ Forest were considered legendary times?”
“Yes…”
In the Kingdom of Karlwin, they said the world ended three hundred years ago.
The story on this side of the monster territory—that’s all part of history lessons, including everything around here.
Night.
Compared to the last bear hotpot gathering, it was far more subdued, yet a banquet attended by some fifteen of Diesel’s lieutenants was held under the grasslands’ starlit sky.
Once that banquet concluded safely and the shrewd Diesel group had quietly retreated…
“Now then, Andy…”
“Indeed. Lord Smayson, isn’t it still early for night?”
Beneath the moonlight, two white-haired women approached me with alluring expressions.
“I mean, if we just make a sudden move once it gets dark, maybe that seems too forceful…”
While speaking delicately, my hand naturally drifted to stroke Breakcore’s hair.
Confirming her genuine willingness from her reaction to the combing fingers, I slowly reached out to touch her breast.
Yes, I’m sorry. That was my intention from the start.
”…Besides, did you set up an illusionary barrier?”
“As a matter of principle…”
Irina nodded shyly as she guided my hand into her clothing.
Right. Even though Diesel’s group had retreated, with just a single rock separating us, Neia and Diane were still deep in conversation about history and astronomy. With Aurora or Lyra it would’ve been different, but there was no way to drag Neia into the situation.
Well, I have shown off having sex right in front of Luna before.
“Still, the fact that it’s not a perfect deception barrier gives me some concern.”
“Do you doubt my magical abilities?”
”…Honestly, regarding magical prowess, I’m too confused to even know whether to trust you or not.”
“Grrr…”
Well, since Neia doesn’t fully understand either how much magic she can perform, there’s simply insufficient material for her to decide whether to believe or disbelieve.
“Well, if they want to see it, I’ll let them… Hmm…”
Kissing the thin breast as my hand made direct contact from between Irina’s armpit.
Then releasing her lips to kiss Breakcore, who was being fondled by my other hand on her breast.
“Mmph… I see you enjoy the greedy pose of holding women in both hands.”
“I’m savoring the joy of having two fine women and being allowed to embrace them both.”
Well, frankly, I understand this arrangement comes across as ungrateful or even self-indulgent.
…But.
“Hah. So that’s all you want? The two of them are sufficient?”
“I have no recollection of ever refusing you since the very first time you held me, my master?”
Lyra and Aurora emerge with calculated timing from behind a rock concealing Diane and her companions.
”…Tch, illusions.”
“You ask who considers us to be.”
…Common illusion magic simply doesn’t work on dragons.
“Hmph.”
Irina’s sour face as she effortlessly dispels the spell.
“Now, if you’d permit it, I’d prefer you grant this request to me. I can only beg for this when Andy arrives here.”
Breakcore looks earnest.
Yet the two intruders smile broadly.
“Hah ha. Do not underestimate this man?”
“With just four people, would Mr. Andy really be worn out?”
…Well, yes, honestly, if it were one time, twice, maybe four people could handle it.
Sigh.
“Alright then, I’ll stand my ground.”
After all, since we’ve been chasing them from the start, the demand to “include us” was already clear.
There’s no point in arguing over trifles now.
“Breakcore, strip!”
“Oh, oh… y-yes…”
“And Irina, remove your clothes too!”
“Nngh!?”
Leaving Breakcore to handle her own undressing, Irina strips herself bare with her own hands.
One after another, two nude bodies appear beneath the moonlight.
“Lyra and Aurora, take them off and come over here!”
“Hah. You’re starting to act like a proper master~♪”
“I don’t dislike things like this either~♪”
Lyra and Aurora eagerly yet seductively shed their garments.
They make the two of them fall onto all fours.
Under the moonlit grass, elves and non-human maidens line up their white buttocks side by side.
Nude bodies each boasting exceptional figures despite differing builds and demeanors.
“Breakcore, thrust your hips higher.”
“Mph, ah… y-yes, I look like a beast…♪”
“It’s a beast, a sacred beast.”
”…Indeed you are. Your own aura is that of a starved male…♪”
Though the words alone sound calm and collected, Breakcore struggles to suppress her rising excitement as heard in her voice, only for him to suddenly ravish her from behind.
“Hhh, nngh…!! Yeah, it’s in there…”
“Yes, I’m inside… yeah, all the way to the depths!!”
“Mmm… ah, just as I thought, it feels wonderful… When you enter me, I become so incredibly happy, my chest fills completely… ♪”
“Grrr…”
Breakcore, lying on her hands and knees with her back arched, reveals a ravaged face between her arms and armpits. Watching that upside-down expression, I slowly begin to move my hips. Beneath the gentle moonlight, I grab her thick, pleasing limbs from behind and slam into them. While still on all fours, envious glances are sent toward Breakcore, who tosses her hair in ecstatic pleasure alongside Lyra, Irina, and Aurora. With a sidelong glance, I confirm that nectar is beginning to drip from the cervices of the three eagerly waiting women. Oh, I want to violate those too. Irina’s tiny buttocks, Lyra’s plump rump, Aurora’s neat yet slender rear. Those rears, drooling at the thought of my dick—I can’t wait to ravage them.
”…Alright.”
“Ah…”
At that point, I withdraw my dick from Breakcore’s ass and then grab Irina’s small buttocks next to her, inserting it into her secret place.
“Haa… ♪”
“W-wait, won’t you pour your seed inside me too…?”
“Later. Right now, I just see all kinds of asses looking delicious.”
”…You’re really a greedy one… I’m waiting, so come quick… ♪”
Breakcore, wagging her unsatisfied ass to assert her lust, and Irina, who is fully enjoying herself within my narrow vagina. After thrusting deeply into that vagina as well, I move on to the next ass. Then to Aurora’s ass.
“Haaah… ah, Andy-san’s penis… ♪”
“Hey, hey, Aurora… Is it not a great matter that you, right here by the North Forest, beside such a labyrinth, are happily stripped naked by a human and wagging your ass while taking my dick in your mouth…!!?”
“Hehe… Of course, it’s a great matter… If my brother knew, something terrible would happen, wouldn’t it… ♪”
To my provocatively disdainful words, Aurora deliberately smiles back.
“M-me and the white Lady Irina, and the Desert Dragon, Holy Beast…!! To use such women all at once and ejaculate however you like is a privilege unique to Andy-san alone… ♪”
“Hmph, that luxury cannot be completed if I don’t use it too? Come on, this womb as well, my master, enjoy yourself♪”
“I don’t need to be told twice; I’ll use this perverted dragon!!”
“Nnh… ♪ Alright, your manly thrusts are crushing me… ♪”
“Uoooo, ah, ohh… Kkuuuh… Not yet!”
From Aurora to Lyra, then to the next ass beyond. …Hmm? ”…Ah, what’s that?”
I shift slightly to the side again and notice there’s another ass left behind. Realizing this is wrong only after grabbing it on impulse and thrusting inside, I freeze.
“Eh, ah…?”
“Nh, fu… What’s wrong, Andy?”
”…D-did when did that happen?”
“Hehe. You’re going too wild; you need to lower your voice a bit more♪”
Diane had somehow joined us at the edge.
I felt some relief, let out a sigh of relief, and shook my hips for about a minute.
Then I ejaculated right into her.
“Haa… so hot… ♪”
“Won’t you cum on me too…?”
“I want to get yours too.”
“The same here… s-since this is such an opportunity, I’d like you to flow your seed inside me once.”
“Heh heh heh, quite popular. Of course, there’s no problem if you can’t hold it and lose control inside me ♪”
“Aaaah, fuck ‘em in reverse order! Get ready, everyone, thrust up their asses!”
『♪』
Riding the momentum, I fucked them one after another, impregnating them continuously.
Amid the pale blue light, even though we were in this fantastical setting of a vast meadow, I simply kept pumping fluids into these women who seemed strangely lively and full of joy.
I thought maybe I’d forgotten something.
”…”
Towards dawn, I discovered Neia pretending to be asleep, wearing her wide-brimmed hat over her face from behind a rock.
”…Neia.”
“…gooooo…”
Her snores were clearly audible, making her sleep obvious right away.
“Might as well go for it too…”
I mutter something unsettling.
I can see Neia jump in fright at the sound.
…No, no, bullying Neia won’t do any good. There’s just nothing I can do about it.
”…Lyra!! Diane too!! Why aren’t you fixing the illusions again!!”
“H-huh heh heh, well, it’s a matter of timing.”
“It’s hard if we start late… and also, prioritizing entry came first.”
Beneath the morning sun, the naked Break Core and Aurora slept together with Irina like good little kittens.
