Safu surveyed the situation with an oddly calm detachment.
The hot spring washing area, surrounded by a swarm of untamed matrons and catgirls. And right in the middle of it all, he was being crushed by everyone yet arching his finger-thin penis upward. That sight must be terribly pitiful. Well, essentially, he was a “disreputable forty-something boy who used his childlike appearance to enjoy lewd scenes at full tilt in the women’s bath and acting overly clingy.”
For one moment, completely lost as to what Rika was thinking, he fell into a spiral of pure negativity. ……In reality, Rika had never once viewed him with the notion of “middle-aged body inside,” despite being sharp-minded; she saw him quite normally as an eight-year-old would, so she hadn’t found it unnatural at all that he’d been led into the women’s bath. Far from it—he was undeniably a beautiful boy who made everyone want to dote on him. Compared to those innocent matrons and catgirls cooing over him so openly, he inwardly trembled at how much of a filthy lust-beast he truly was… yet Safu had no idea of that.
Both the dragon and the elf, drawn irresistibly to each other while failing to understand each other’s core natures, stared in shame and despair upon seeing each other’s forms. Yet neither wanted rejection; they tried to steel their resolve. But Safu couldn’t come up with an excuse for his current state, while Rika sat utterly at a loss, wondering how to phrase the incident from a few days ago so that everything would finally be resolved.
A long, long silence. No—in truth, it was hardly even a minute for them personally. Anyway, after what felt like an eternity of silence, Safu, desperate with thought, decided firmly in his overheated brain: better to stand up manfully than babble out excuses. He stepped forward toward Rika, nearly defeated by the divinity of those twin breasts (in Safu’s perspective alone), then forcefully arched his back and drew a breath from the very bottom of his stomach.
“Rika… o-okay, I—I… l-love youuuuu!!”
He shouted with all his might, eyes glistening with tears as he fixed his gaze on Rika. It was Rika who became utterly flustered. There was absolutely no logical thread connecting the situation. Just moments before, feeling an intense urge to mischievously touch such an adorable boy and harboring guilt that twisted her stomach into knots… now came this grand confession out of nowhere. In front of everyone in the women’s bath staring like “what is happening?”, he declared his love while erecting his penis.
”…Eh, eh??” Only the lower half of her face moved as she asked back with a confused expression. It must have been terribly unnatural. Safu wore an indescribably anxious look in response, and Rika instinctively felt like comforting him; yet fundamentally, she still didn’t understand why Safu was acting this way. Since they had just encountered each other suddenly in the bath without prior knowledge of the scene, no one could grasp the flow of the conversation. If actions like these were to be taken, surely some setup or buildup should have occurred first, making such abrupt behavior feel jarring… but that deduction couldn’t possibly be unnatural. Truly, nothing existed. Safu had reached this action with absolutely no foreshadowing; however, Rika was mistakenly waiting for him to explain, thinking, “There must have been some earlier part of the story, right? Could you please fill us in on that?”, leading to a profound misunderstanding dominating the women’s bath.
”…Rika.”
“H-h-hun… hun?”
“That… uh, um…”
Safu was finally beginning to realize that his words weren’t reaching her, yet only became more confused as he frantically searched for help to his left and right. Maybe Maya or Lyra—or even the blue dragon, perhaps Andi or the Baron—were nearby somewhere and wouldn’t follow up on Safu’s panicked ramblings? He pinned faint hope on such a possibility, but no one was there. Driven onward like by concentrated stares, overwhelmed once more by nonsensical anxiety…
”…That is… I love you!!” He screamed it again. Still nothing solved. The entire bath had merely aligned their thoughts to say, “Let’s calm down and explain things properly.” Into the ensuing continuous silence, Safu nearly broke down in tears. What kind of space was this? How on earth did I get a right answer… he thought alone while his brain boiled over with confusion. Then finally, one of the catgirls stepped forward hesitantly after all.
”…Um… so, what do you want me to tell my older elf sister about all this, nya?”
“That is… aren’t you asking ME to say that kind of thing to her…?”
“I’m the one who’s in trouble here, sis…”
”…Ugh.” At Rika’s blatantly confused expression, Safu shrank back in fright.
Rika had wanted to convey that she wasn’t actually displeased by any of this, but if she responded clumsily, Safful—who was currently spiraling out of control—might easily misinterpret her words and end up in an irreversible situation. She didn’t know quite how to phrase it.
Seeing the stalemate, the cat-girl spoke once more.
”……Maybe you should just say plainly that you want to get married… or that you want to have sex…”
“K-k-kk-ss-se-x!”
Safful jumped back in horror.
The ladies naturally showed their disapproval at such a blunt statement.
“You wouldn’t say things like that to someone so young.”
“And besides, do they even understand what sex is?”
“That’s way too early for them.”
But Rika waved her arms frantically to cover for him; she felt she had to do something right here and now.
“S-so, Mr. Safful’s already forty… a-and you must be quite experienced yourself, so…”
……All eyes turned back to Safful once more.
Rika was trying to help him out. She figured he simply couldn’t bring himself to speak up and had become a plaything for these women; in truth, that was exactly what had happened.
However, while elves are quite tolerant of age differences in the double digits, humans and cat-beasts find those numbers significant.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!?”
A moment later, gasps of shock echoed from everyone’s mouths, causing Safful to quake with sheer terror.
He panicked, fled the women’s bath naked, and sprinted across the grassland into the open field. He was at an age—or rather, possessed a mental maturity—where he would naturally disagree with anyone calling him “ero” (dirty/sexual). He couldn’t just accept his fate and cower inside the bath forever.
“Lies… What kind of race is that girl anyway?”
“And speaking of which, among Andy’s servants’ girls, there was one who looked about thirteen but claimed to be sixty years old.”
“There really are cases like that…”
Still, since Safful possessed no threat of raping women—which his existence as a dragon did not negate—the ladies weren’t criticizing his lewdness; they were genuinely surprised. The cats were merely stunned as well.
Safful’s status as a dragon, combined with the fact that he was a beautiful young man, certainly played a part in this. After all, despite whatever nonsense goes on, mature women tend to melt for cute boys like him far more easily than they would for those small, detestable brats around here.
Glancing back at the scene within the bathhouse twice more, Rika quickly pulled her clothes on, gathered Safful’s disheveled garments in her arms, and called out, “We caused quite a disturbance!” before chasing after him.
Safful sat cross-legged amidst the nearby tall grass.
“S-Saaf-u-l…”
“L-Rika… me.”
”……Um…”
Safful was weeping.
Upon reflection, he realized that had been dragged into the bathhouse without resisting, treated like a toy by the women because he couldn’t firmly refuse, then—despite intending to confess in a cool manner and wrap things up cleanly—he’d ended up chased away as nothing at all, wandering around naked. It was undeniably pathetic.
“That… Mr. Safful…”
”……Me… it’s hopeless… Even as a dragon… even if I try not to be… it’s completely… too embarrassing…”
He snuffled loudly through his nose, sniffing back tears.
Seeing such a despondent Safful, Rika suddenly calmed down.
……In the end, Safful was just a child. Simply put, too much of one.
Trying to act grown-up, failing miserably, getting hurt, and falling into despair. Yet, despite all that, he remained honest through and through.
Rika hadn’t been able to properly accept his kindness due to her own guilt, but the fact remained: just like after their reverse prank days ago, he still cared about Rika deeply.
That’s why Safful needed to be comforted—by himself. He needed to accept things—on his own terms.
In that moment, worrying about worldly conventions or appearances was simply unnecessary.
”……Hey, Mr. Safful… I know… I know you want to become a grown-up.”
”……Yeah.”
“It’s clear you know that growing up takes a long time. And I also know that even while you’re still not quite there, Saffu-kun is and will always be a proper boy…”
”…Y-yes…”
“That’s why I know right now, if you see a girl’s bare body again, your little member would stand on end… and you’d want to do things worse than last time…”
Wrapping her arms around Saffu from behind, she embraced his naked form.
“I know you’d feel the urge to fuck…”
“T-there…!”
“But even if you had sex, that wouldn’t make you a grown-up… Something like that won’t truly give you what you’re looking for, Saffu-kun. And surely, you understand that too.”
“Uhhhhh…”
Lost between Rika’s words, Saffu wavered.
The common saying goes: once you lose your virginity, you’re a man.
Though I hate losing it, the moment I have sex doesn’t suddenly make me an ‘untouchable grown-up dragon.’
First of all, if people called me a dirty little boy, I couldn’t just accept it calmly.
That’s why he couldn’t nod to either side of Rika’s question.
Feeling his clear confusion, Rika gazed at him with affection.
“Becoming a man still takes decades, Saffu-kun. And you can take all the time you need… Plus, you don’t even have to hold back while waiting for that. Since I like Saffu-kun… I’ll like him even if he stays childish.”
”…Rika…?”
“Take your time… and grow up slowly, Saffu-kun… From today until you become a man… Even after that, you’re allowed to make my womb ache with pleasure from my little member…”
With a soft sigh…
Clinging close to Saffu, Rika began stripping off her clothes.
Her skin, already moist from the steam moments before, became fully exposed with every garment she discarded. Helplessly compelled, Saffu began imagining her naked body.
But this time, Rika had no intention of teasing him anymore.
“L-Lika…”
“Sorry, Saffu-kun… This might not actually be for your sake…”
Stripping completely, she pulled away from Saffu and granted herself the right to turn around.
Fully aroused, in the sunset-lit grasslands, Rika bared everything before Saffu.
”…I guess I’m… much more… dirty than you think, Saffu-kun…♪”
“Oh, I—I’m not…”
“So just imagine, right now… that for many years from now, you’ll keep pushing your little member inside me every day… ♪”
Shivering uncontrollably.
“My excitement… it won’t stop…!♪”
”…Rika… Rika, is this okay…?”
”…Okay, Saffu-kun… You want to fuck her… right?…”
Before the elven girl he admired, the young dragon thrust his tiny little member forward.
Still thin and not very long, it lacked a bit of the masculine authority needed to please a woman.
Yet, according to the maiden’s declaration, from now on, while inside the vagina of this long-lived girl before her eyes… he would gradually grow up. Letting it happen, she stated proudly.
“L-Lika… B-but… you really mean it… I’m going to do it… Because I’m going to do it…”
”…Better hurry or my pussy’ll dry out, Saffu-kun…♪”
“Hhhh…”
Pinned beneath Saffu, Rika lightly spread her thighs and teased him.
Saffu confirmed his resolve once again and… decisively thrust his tiny member into the center of her hairless labia minora.
“Guh… uh…♪”
“Rika… tch… I didn’t… think it would feel this way…”
“Use force a little more, push deeper… Kuno Saffu~!”
“I-I don’t mind if you do…”
“Because it’s our first time! Vaginas aren’t just naturally wide open for anyone to slip into without some help getting them stretched out♪”
”…Rika…”
“With Saffu-kun’s little cock… I’m sure we won’t reach the very depths yet…”
whispered Rika.
“Keep going until it reaches all the way in, keep expanding yourself with every stroke of Saffu-kun, day after day♪”
”…Yeah… umm…”!
Saffu nodded and started swinging his hips.
Building up momentum, he pushed that small member slightly further inward into the mucous membranes.
Soon enough, Saffu’s barely inserted phallus was swallowed a bit deeper inside Rika’s vagina with a soft merrii sensation.
“That’s it,” Saffu insisted, pushing himself on with all his might, until at last his small waist made contact with Rika’s comparatively larger hips.
”…With that…!”
“Yep, Saffu-kun! Welcome out of your virginity~♪”
Perhaps because his little dick was so small, or maybe due to the intensity of his arousal…
Rika, despite bleeding slightly from her crotch, managed to show enough grace to kiss him in celebration.
“Now just… stay inside this tight spot and enjoy it properly… until you make me cum white… That’s what mating is all about♪”
“I-I get it… but… I might get pregnant…”
”…Nah, Saffu-kun.”
Rika whispered at him with an expression that was impossible to tell if she was being sweet or filthy.
“You can carry my child even before you officially become a grown man~♪”
“Rika…”
“So, listen closely, Saffu… let’s have tons of sex every single day♪ Even hotter and more eager than Smayson-san, we’re gonna get it on harder than ever♪”
”…Rika, damn it…”
“I’m sorry if it makes you squirm a bit~… but seeing the way you look at me…♪”
wrapping her arms and legs around him to hold him close.
“Everything like that just feels so incredibly happy to me~♪”
”…Li-Ri-KA… Rika, I-I’m… uh…”!
Saffu’s excitement hit its peak, his young waist trembling slightly before he began frantically seeking out pleasure.
Not a clue as to what angle or speed would feel good, the boy’s tiny strokes suddenly accelerated as if pounding against the elf girl’s body.
It was still their first time after all; while Saffu, being male, wasn’t entirely untouched to such experiences, Rika certainly shouldn’t be getting off that easily.
Yet, the sight of the boy becoming so lost in her warm little hole somehow gave her a profound sense of emotional fulfillment.
As if from the very beginning… yes, ever since we first met, this was meant to happen.
And yet, for some reason, I’d been neglecting these moments, treating them far too precious and rare.
With that same illusion so vivid it nearly blinded her, Rika accepted Saffu’s clumsy thrusts, feeling nothing but complete satisfaction.
The evening sky glowed crimson.
The summer breeze carried a coolness.
Why did she always end up doing this in the open field? Rika wondered, gazing upward over Saffu’s shoulder, remembering how certain elf clans held onto ancient dogmas that elves shouldn’t live indoors but must make the forest their home instead.
Perhaps my blood runs with something like that. A sinful vein, one that considers sex outdoors completely natural…
…Having reached that conclusion for myself, I found resolve in seeing Safu’s desperate expression and accepting the reality.
From now on, let us always make love together. Let me nurture this small partner deep within my vagina.
As an elf and him as a dragon, we alone could afford to savor such extended pleasures. That truth filled me with unbearable happiness and contentment.
And so, Safu scattered his seed within the girl’s depths.
“Uu… uh, uaaah…♪”
She possessed no reserve whatsoever; she devoured pure bliss without resistance, surrendering utterly to release it.
Yet even the boy’s undignified arousal was precious in my eyes.
And there lay the supreme bliss of his thick, viscous seed being driven directly into her womb.
Rika felt that sensation, and the passion embedded even within his semen… her shivers peaked at their zenith, sending her completely over the edge.
“Nnnnngggghh…♪”
Desire intertwined with love.
Though they were both too young by race to fully understand one another yet, even so, they were deeply bound through their union of bodies and minds, sharing feelings profoundly.
Later that day.
“Cough… …Boy.”
“A-ah!?! You make him put clothes on!!!”
Safu, encountering Aeri again, shamed as his enormous naked body once more triggered a reaction in his penis; he held his groin shut while protesting the exposure.
Aeri ignored his embarrassment and stated her purpose.
“That place where you’ve been practicing every day… lies too close to the town streets… so people are seeing you occasionally. From now on, wouldn’t it be better if you chose a location slightly further away?”
“I’m… being watched.”
“If he were a dragon, he’d surely notice… like that particular nosy human and the ogre in a duo.”
“U-uhhhhhh!”
“Athough I’d subtly call out and have him turn his attention away… there are times when he simply cannot come running to my aid.”
“I’m… grateful for your help…”
Safu had unexpectedly found himself under the care of a lecherous old woman.
