Kelly Isaac. A bull ogre standing 310 cm tall. Twenty-nine years old. Former heavy infantryman. Currently serves as a ten-man squad leader in the Crossbow Corps of the Northern Legion. Once highly regarded as a future ace knight, he effectively fulfilled the condition for obtaining the ace knight title—breaching the Rock God Labyrinth—during an examination about five years ago. However, he was disqualified on suspicion of collaborating with other ace knight candidates during the attempt. He was subsequently transferred to the Crossbow Corps and has since seen little frontline combat. He has not applied for the ace knight examination since then. As a squad commander, he is excellent, using his sheer strength and quick wit to protect his subordinates on multiple occasions. He holds a high degree of trust and prestige within his unit. Within the Crossbow Corps, he is considered a leading candidate for promotion to hundred-man leader in the next reorganization, alongside Anzeros, the ten-man leader of the guard infantry. This has sparked debate among those involved regarding whether his future hundred-man unit would become the second battalion of the Crossbow Corps or if he would revert to heavy infantry duties.
Unless there are significant demerits to note in the future, there appears to be no particular reason to doubt his suitability for promotion to hundred-man leader.

“Even if he’s outstanding as a soldier… well, being strong is a good thing. But I never imagined my son would remain a virgin until he was on the verge of thirty.” “Shut up! Are you saying it would have been better if he had made a name for himself as a rapist from his teenage years?!” “Is there really no middle ground between being a virgin and a rapist in your mind?” “I’m telling you not to call me ‘virgin’! And the one doing it is his parent! His mother, of all people!” Sigh… Well, I guess I won’t be seeing the faces of my grandchildren after all.” His mother, Dorothy Isaac, let out a weary sigh.
The bull ogre colony in the northern desert labyrinth was a very peaceful place. Although these bull ogres looked genuinely terrifying, while they fought like devils against enemies, they were kind and pure-hearted toward the weak, especially children. They didn’t kill or hunt needlessly. When times were tough, they helped one another. The Great Desert Labyrinth did not permit survival for those who relied solely on strength, skill, or intellect alone; in exchange, as long as its inhabitants cooperated, it provided ample resources for living, functioning as an excellent supplementary system for the food chain. Consequently, the numerous scattered colonies within the desert labyrinth generally maintained good relations, frequently visiting one another to trade, proposing joint monster-hunting operations, or exchanging labor for carpentry and irrigation projects. In that environment, Kelly was a popular figure among the children.
From time to time, morning markets were held on a rotating basis in each colony.
“Aaaah!!”
A dwarf child spotted Kelly gazing blankly and peacefully at the oasis and rushed over.
“Red-Bull Uncle!!!”
“Oh, are you from Master Jonathan’s place? Good to see you.”
“Hey—!”
The dwarf child grabbed the fabric of Kelly’s massive tank top, clawing his way up with frantic energy before springing onto his shoulders. Kelly didn’t mind at all, gladly indulging the kid’s playground antics.
“Just as expected, Red-Bull Uncle has super arms! They’re about the size of Dad’s belly!”
Hah hah ha, nobody beats me when it comes to power, same as always.
Flexing a pectoral muscle, his already thick arm swelled further into what was literally a log-like limb. For an ordinary human, just looking at such an arm would crush their will to fight.
As he entertained the dwarf child, children from other races visiting the village began gathering around Kelly one after another. The dwarf kid knew Kelly from before he joined the army, so he wasn’t scared, but the others hesitated, unsure whether it was okay to approach a giant bull ogre they didn’t know well.
“Red-Bull Uncle, do that thing over there.”
“That thing? Which one? Sure, why not.”
Coaxed by the dwarf kid, Kelly stood up, raised both arms with a “Hnnnh!!”, and struck a muscle pose.
“Whoa!!”
“Uncle looks strong! You’re stronger than Girard, right?!”
“Come on, do it again, just one more time!”
Nuhahaha, you got it! Hnnh!
Arm reversed, palm down, striking a muscle pose.
Following up by gripping the wrist, turning sideways to flex the armpit, and bending the knee slightly for another pose.
“Double Biceps, Lat Spread! And Side Chest! …Once you can nail poses like this, you’re a real man!”
“Wahahaha, you silly old guy—!”
“Don’t call me ‘silly’! Call me Macho-Man!”
“Carry me toooo~!”
“Hop on, hop on! Even if the whole lot of you got on, I’d have room to spare!”
“Whoa! Big Red Uncle is so strong! Did you power up again?!”
“You bet! Last time we visited, I was a Shobei, but now I’ve leveled up to Ten-ninchō, ya see?!”
“No way! Are you getting even stronger?!”
“Heh heh heh. If I get any stronger, this labyrinth won’t hold up!”
Kelly ran a solid pace around the oasis with the kids dangling from his arms, neck, and horns, bouncing along. The children cheered with delight. Finally, he splashed into the oasis, quickly scooped up the kids who had tumbled off with both hands, and laid them across his well-developed chest, making a boat of himself.
“Hoo-ha—”
“W-won’t that do us in?!”
“Ha ha ha”
Kelly paddled through the oasis using only flapping kicks while the kids rejoiced.
“Heeeeere!! Kelly! Don’t put the neighborhood kids in danger like that!!”
Dorothy, who had been selling skewered Hellboar on the shore, shouted at him angrily from the bank.
“Uh, well, you guys kept flattering me, so I got carried away!”
“Don’t pin it on us, Big Red—!!”
“No way—!”
He swam in circles around the oasis with the kids, cackling loudly.
Kelly just loved making kids laugh like this.
Consequently, he was hugely popular not only with young ones but also with their parents, regardless of race.
“…Tch. I suppose you can’t help it if girls only flock to him.”
Though Dorothy found her son endearing in that regard, she sighed, thinking it wasn’t good enough. She really wanted a grandchild. Her worries ran deep.
Night.
The bull ogre colony had folded up for the day and fallen silent.
Inside the Isaac family’s home, Dorothy murmured softly as she applied milk lotion purchased from another race.
“I’ve been thinking… about remarrying Jirard.”
“!?”
Kelly shot upright in bed.
“W-wait, Mom?”
“What? Do you have an issue with it?”
“But he’s the same age as me…”
“And I’m still only forty-three!”
“U-uhh…”
“If you had just a little more backbone yourself…”
“W-what was that?”
“If I can’t count on you to make grandchildren, I have no choice but to make some new ones. I refuse to let the line end here, or my bloodline with it.”
“Mom……”
Was his mother trying to whip Kelly into shape in her own way, or was she being serious? It was a bit of a fine line.
His mother certainly wasn’t old enough to wither away yet. But Kelly’s father had died hunting monsters when Kelly was still a child.
Bull ogres have always been somewhat casual about the finer points of sex. Even if Dorothy, who remained beautiful for her age, had received an aggressive proposal from Kelly’s old friend Gerard, it would have fallen within the bounds of normalcy in Bull Ogre culture.
Dorothy wasn’t the type to be obsessed with sex, but as long as Kelly kept proving himself incompetent in matters of the heart, she had no ground to complain about his mother’s suggestion that he should spawn younger brothers and sisters to put her hopes into.
“Hmm……”
“If you’ve got even a shred of feeling left, go lose your virginity with some woman over there.”
“What the hell are you talking about! That’s like… urinating standing up!”
“Not much different. When you feel like letting go, you let go. Life might sprout from it. See what difference that makes?”
“Mom, I don’t want to think I came into existence just by spitting on the ground……”
“Even the earth is waiting for seeds and fertilizer. Get out there and proposition some woman. Do you really think this colony is short of single ladies?”
Bull ogre colonies were male-deficient. Saying it that way made it sound like a harem, but when the sex ratio reached three to one, it was simply too much for a harem to handle.
It wasn’t as if Bull Ogre men had low libidos, but the powerful, tough Bull Ogre women had an even more insatiable appetite. Once the fire caught, they wouldn’t let their men rest for a night, swapping partners multiple times over.
In that state of affairs, the shortage of males naturally became a serious problem.
Originally a minority, and the women who wanted to ensure they could bear children would rarely let a man go. Even with social norms approaching free sex, the men couldn’t just sprinkle their seed on as many partners as they liked. The supply of women was left over.
In such a situation, a man like Kelly—who had transcended merely being frigid and approached the realm of strange creatures—was an anomaly.
“But……”
“Would you go to Martha-chan instead, then?”
Martha Merlitz. Kelly’s first love, who had been snatched away by another man ten years ago. She was currently the mother of two.
“M-Martha has a husband.”
“If you’re going to be that attached, then just take her from him, you idiot. Any man other than you would have taken her, and she’d still be banging around elsewhere.”
“I can’t destroy someone else’s family. I want Martha to be happy……”
“Aah! You’re too noisy! Get out of here! And don’t come back until you’ve shoved your cock into some woman!”
His mother was being very serious. While thinking it was quite outrageous, Kelly couldn’t go against the mother who had raised him alone since he was four years old, and was kicked out into the night to trudge along dejectedly.
”…Maybe I shouldn’t have come home for a visit. Maybe I should just go back to the barracks.”
Once his mother started something, she wouldn’t listen. He probably wouldn’t be allowed back in the house for a few days.
Even so, he was a twenty-nine-year-old virgin who didn’t see any option for soliciting sex on the street.
The next day.
”…Maybe I should just cool off here for a while.”
Kelly had entered the labyrinth.
Camping in the labyrinth was second nature to him. From childhood until joining Celesta’s army, Kelly had been a Hellboar hunter here.
Facing a massive herd was one thing, but one or two was something the current Kelly could handle even with bare hands.
”…One more month until my leave ends. How many days do I need to sulking here? It would be more fun spending time with my comrades and the kids in the colony.”
Counting on his fingers, he tried to align the time needed for his mother’s anger to subside with what would constitute an “enjoyable homecoming” for himself. He was feeling extremely pessimistic about it.
”…It’s not that I don’t want a girlfriend myself, and I do want to get married……”
However, as his mother said, the Bull Ogre community was always a battlefield of conquest.
That meant that even if he found a suitable partner here, for Kelly who still intended to continue his military career, it would be like entering a marriage only to be cuckolded.
Kelly never forgot the shock of realizing that the person he believed wanted to marry him and thought he could marry was already smiling at another man. Although he had managed to cover it up on the spot with an “I-I guess it can’t be helped” smile, he had spent the week after returning home tossing and turning in bed, sobbing and wailing over his grief.
It was then that he realized he was actually very sensitive and possessive.
He had a feeling that if he were stolen away again, he might not recover this time. If it came to that, dying alone would probably be the lesser of two evils.
Jealousy might occasionally flare up in Kelly against Arnie or Andy, but fundamentally, he is not the type of man who thinks, “It should be me instead.” ”…Hah. This is boring.” Using easily available flint to start a fire, Kelly sat alone, hugging his knees. At 310 centimeters tall, this was hardly how one would expect the strongest man in the Bull Ogre colony to look.
A few days later.
“Is it probably safe to head back now…?”
After confirming that morning light was streaming through the skylight, Kelly pushed himself up with a groan of effort.
Just then, supporting his weight on one arm, he nearly crushed something soft, causing him to bounce away in shock.
“Uwao!?”
Lying there was a dirty, dust-covered non-human creature.
”…Tch, ow… that hurt…”
The creature slowly raised its head.
And then.
”…I knew it. Big brother Kelly!!”
“W-Whoa! What the—!?”
Having stared intently at Kelly’s face, the creature leaped onto his neck to hug him tightly.
Its tail wagged back and forth.
“B-Big brother Kelly…?”
It was a young wolf-beastman girl, probably in her late teens.
Kelly paused for a moment to think.
”…Ah.”
“Do you remember me?”
“You’re from Old Man Zenga’s place!”
“Yes! I’m his granddaughter, Kate!”
There are colonies of several different races within the Great Desert Dungeon.
One could say that most races other than humans are present.
Among them is a colony of wolf-beastmen.
Because they do not belong to the trading guild that holds morning markets, one rarely sees them, though occasionally they would visit the Bull Ogre colony.
“Why are you all by yourself in such a place?”
“I followed Big brother Kelly.”
“What— no, wasn’t it about ten years ago when we last played together?”
In Kelly’s memory, Kate was still close to being an infant.
However, the Kate before him had grown up into a proper young woman. He thought she had come quite far in her development.
“Hehe… Finally caught you.”
“W-Wow, great timing, I’m currently back home for my visit…”
“Yep. Ever since leaving Kuika, I’ve been searching non-stop. I sometimes thought I was going to die.”
“Hold on.”
He had been in the capital of Kuika five years ago. That was when Kelly was still a heavy infantryman.
“From when I was in Kuika… wait, you’ve been searching for five whole years!?”
“Yes. Since Big brother Kelly lived over there, I settled in nearby to look for him.”
”…No way, seriously?”
“But Nee-san told me not to speak to you because it was an important time for you to become an Ace Knight, so I just waited?”
”…………”
“But brother, there was once a chance you might become an Ace Knight, and I thought you’d take the exam the next year too, but you didn’t come. So I kept waiting, and kept waiting… until I realized you were gone. I thought maybe you had returned to the maze, but you weren’t there. I wondered if you were still at Kuika, but you weren’t.”
“I-I get it, I get it… But why?”
“I made a promise to my brother. To make me his wife.”
”……Eh?”
Kelly desperately ransacked his memory.
No, that wasn’t necessary. Children like her did exist.
Sometimes, after Kelly had played with them or after they’d gotten attached to him, the kids would ask him to marry them.
Kelly’s answer was always the same: “Yeah, just grow up and become a good-looking woman first.”
”……So you believed that?”
“Mm. Wolf beast-kin promises are absolute.”
”…………”
“I will become my brother’s wife. After that, if my brother tells me I’m a ‘good-looking woman,’ the promise is complete. I’ll have lots of children with my brother. I’ll make a good mother.”
Kate wagged her tail back and forth, pat-pat-pat.
He thought she was extremely cute.
But.
”……No, that’s impossible.”
While it was incredibly pleasing to hear such words during this period, an ogre’s member was not something easily accepted by other races.
For one thing, it was nearly as thick as a woman’s arm. With a truly mini-size variant, compatibility might be possible, but Kelly’s prized possession was certainly not small by ogre standards.
But.
“It’s fine.”
Kate smiled brightly and began to undress.
Seeing a woman’s nakedness for the first time other than Diane or his mother, Kelly’s face turned red. He was still a virgin.
She untied the short vest and the cloth wrapped around her chest, then flung off her loincloth. She wasn’t wearing any undergarments. Couldn’t have been.
That’s because he had buried within it an extremely thick, prosthesis-like object, truly as thick as a woman’s arm.
“H-hey!?”
“Hehe… For me to become my brother’s wife, I need to fit my brother’s penis in there, so Sister made this one for me.”
“W-Wait, hey, seriously…”
“Wolf beast-kin promises are absolute. I’ve been used to it little by little, and now this much fits. I can keep the promise. I can have my brother’s child.”
Due to the difference in linguistic systems, Kate’s speech was slightly awkward. Perhaps that very crudeness of her appeal caused Kelly’s mind to go completely blank.
“W-why… why do you want that with me so badly…”
“I’ll absolutely keep the promise.”
“Promises and such are just…”
“Wolf beast-kin promises are absolute. That’s why I don’t make them lightly, you know?”
”…………”
“Back then, I felt it deep in my heart. I was born to have my brother’s children. I truly believed that from the bottom of my heart.”
“T-that… a child that small thinking such things?”
“Wolf beast-kin believe strongly in fate. I felt that fate back then.”
“Fate is just…”
“Bro, am I a good-looking woman? Am I the bad guy to you?”
“You’re a good woman, really… but…”
For someone who had given up on their first love so easily, that statement was too heavy to bear.
Before Kelly could finish the sentence, Kate interrupted him, pressing her nose and mouth deep into his massive lips in a kiss.
“Mmph… mmp. The promise is perfect.”
“W… what?”
Kate didn’t really intend to hear the answer from the start.
While maintaining the kiss, she pulled the mold out of his hand and tossed it far away. Like she no longer needed it.
“I want plenty of your offspring, bro. I’m in heat right now, crazy strong. Probably gonna stay in heat for a while.”
And so, the naked beast-woman girl rubbed her hips against Kelly’s member of his own accord.
“Haa… haa…”
Sticky sounds as love juice smeared against the crotch of Kelly’s trousers.
It was an impossible situation to describe with a wife-choice marriage system that welcomes any suitor; it was an aggressive appeal from a female, unique to inter-racial relationships. Confronted by this, Kelly finally steeled himself.
”…Y… you… are you really gonna do this? I don’t know how to handle women!”
“Yeah. I don’t know either. Do whatever you want.”
”…I’m okay with that?”
“Then hurry up and do it!”
Being rubbed with love juice, tail wagging by a beautiful girl flushed completely red, and being told to hurry up—he couldn’t escape anymore.
Still retaining a slight feeling of guilt, Kelly thrust his massive member into Kate’s vagina.
“Mmph…!!”
Kate stumbled back.
The thickness could expand, but the depth was just not going to cooperate.
Kelly’s bull ogre member stopped about halfway inside the wolf beast-woman girl’s crotch.
“Gh… haa…”
Kate rolled her eyes in a state resembling being skewered on a stake.
As for Kelly, tasting a woman’s vagina for the first time as he neared thirty, he was nearly at climax from the overwhelming sentiment.
“Th-this is… bad news…”
“Aha ha… bro, more…”
“Kate?”
”…More, please… use my pussy…”
While being pierced through by the massively stiff member, Kate still wore a smile filled with a sense of accomplishment.
“After all, brother’s dick is good… way better than I imagined…”
”…………”
“I waited so long… I’ve been waiting a lot… wondering if I can have a horned child like you, or maybe a wolf beast-woman, or thinking, ‘It’s lonely giving birth and having your dick inserted, then giving birth again and having it inserted again. I want my dick while giving birth.’ I’ve thought about that the whole time. Please dip me in more dick. I want to live with your dick inside me.”
”…Y… you, are you okay?”
Because her speech was broken into bits, he even suspected a momentary breakdown for an instant. However, Kate was just speaking on impulse.
“Your dick finally came in… please give me more dick. More, I want you to rape me so hard that even after having kids, you shove them back into my uterus, push them out of my mouth. Make my body your container for your dick.”
“W… I don’t quite get it, but stop saying such gross things”
“Yeah… if so, shut me up. Shut me up with your dick.”
”…Guh”
I had the distinct feeling that I was being pressed into a situation where, with every passing moment, my hands were tied and I was left no choice but to continue.
Yet, paradoxically, it felt good.
Kelly was so deeply wounded in her self-esteem that unless she received enough verbal affirmation, she couldn’t even justify having sex to herself.
“Mmnh, grr… Ah, gaaah♪ Hghh, uuu… Breaking, being broken, breaking through… break me…”
”…Uu, uuuh!”
It was impossible to tell where Kaito’s halting words ended and her bluffs began. Or where the seriousness started. But precisely because of that, Kelly gave up trying to read her mood from her expression.
He just wanted to thoroughly taste this shallow, hot vagina and cum inside it.
With that in mind, partway through, he gripped the girl’s body with both hands and, for all intents and purposes, masturbated on his own erection while using the girl’s crotch however he pleased.
And the wolf-girl reveled in the intensity of it.
”…Ghh, uu… I’m going to cum, I’m gonna let it out…!”
“Seed… my seed♪ Kelly-brother’s seed, spread it everywhere!! Fill me up inside with your seed! ♪”
”…My bad, but I’m… takin’ it… for the sake of it, hey!!”
Thump. Thump. Thump…!!
Kelly’s cock was huge, and his ejaculate volume was no joke.
“Hiaaa… Ah, ahh…!”
Finding that an overwhelming torrent of fluid was rushing out from the plunged-in member to rape her eggs, Kaito passed out in blissful content while remaining impaled.
”…Uu, uwaa…”
And then, caught in that oddly exhausted state right after ejaculating, Kelly felt a strange sense of despair, realizing he had done something utterly outrageous at an utterly wrong time.
“So, as you can see, I’ve lost my virginity.” “Kelly. Come here for a moment.” His mother’s iron fist. “Why the hell were you sleeping with a different race right there, idiot!” “Ah…” In the context of his mother’s argument, it certainly would have been proper to handle it inside the bull ogre colony. “It’s not Kelly-brother’s fault. It’s really good.” “Haa…” His mother’s worries ran deep. At least she’d get to see a grandchild, though.
”…Hmph, hmph. That Kaito girl, without my permission… tsk!” And then the next assassin set her sights on Kelly. Three weeks and two days remained until the end of his leave.
(To be continued)
