Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with a water spirit.
“The Spirit Festival’s all wrapped up, huh…”
In the Herikon inn, as dawn broke and a dry northern wind slipped through the window gaps, Gash muttered the words.
Looking down from above, he could see many townspeople busy tidying up the aftermath of the festivities in the street below.
Celesta’s most energetic creatures were its merchants. Without needing any prompting, they would no doubt begin their trades again today, frantically earning the coin needed to blow it all on the next festival.
Gash sat still for a while, watching the human, lizardman, and fox-beastfolk merchants hurry past the town exits with their camels and desert lizards.
He wanted to raise the next topic of conversation with the girl behind him, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Hesitation… five minutes worth.
Once known for having the best raw courage in his entire unit during his time in the Celesta Army, Gash shook the resolve needed just to say a single word over and over again. Finally, with a “screw it” attitude—yet in his usual light tone—he spoke up.
“So what now, Heeley?”
The water spirit, Heeley Water, had wished for one thing: “I want to see a Spirit Festival.”
A grudge about a festival dedicated to spirits where the spirits themselves couldn’t freely attend. Resolving that frustration was the mission assigned to Gash—a mission to fill the void left when his tail was cut off, crushing his pride as a warrior and stripping him of his purpose in life.
What would happen once this ended?
Would Heeley simply merge back into the local water currents and drift off to some unknown destination?
…Even though he knew they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn’t shake that anxiety.
“Got plenty of time ‘til checkout… just gonna sleep a bit more…”
The question, extracted through sheer, once-in-a-lifetime courage, was brushed aside with ease.
When he turned around, Heeley had turned into a grub worm beneath the blanket, wriggling about.
“What do you mean, sleeping in like that? You’re supposed to be a spirit!”
“You’re the one who wouldn’t let me sleep until sunrise… It’s fine, yesterday was just one of those days… Come lie down with me, Gash. What’s with all this getting up early for an ectotherm?”
“I’m not an ectotherm! My blood pressure’s just a bit low!”
Gash said that, yet he flopped heavily into the bed anyway.
Beneath the blanket, Heeley—still naked from their vigorous night of lovemaking—slid casually into Gash’s arms, half-asleep.
“Mmu…”
“So here’s the thing… you said when we first met that you wanted to see a Spirit Festival, didn’t you?”
”…Did I?”
“That was only four or five months ago!”
“Is it? …I guess… It’s just been so crazy with all your pervy antics ever since then…”
”…Anyway. We achieved the objective, but I’m asking what we do next.”
”…Hmmm… Well, how about we want to stay somewhere warm ‘til the next Spirit Festival?”
“You still want to see a festival?”
“It was fun though…”
Heeley, sounding half-asleep, nuzzled against Gash’s chest and pressed her soft cheek against him.
”…Alright, I guess that’s fine.”
Gash hugged her small head tight, feeling a sudden deflation of surprise.
Heeley seemed absolutely set on spending the rest of her time with Gash, showing not the slightest thought of returning to nature.
He felt like he’d been left holding the bag for all that nervousness.
Into their slow morning, a single Dark Elf crashed in with high energy. “Good morning, both of you! The sun’s up.” “Knock first and use the door, you idiot! Don’t just phase through the wall!”
“Hmm, you seem rather glum.” “I just woke up and can’t get back to sleep, you damn bastard!” The light spirit, Bright Light. …so she claims. At a glance, she’s an androgynous beauty with the features of a dark elf. One might prefer a lighter, more ethereal image for a spirit of light, but I held my tongue lest Heery get reclassified as a Merman in the process. Suggesting that “creatures without legs” like those shouldn’t be lumped together is a distinctively lizardman perspective. “In any case, I’ve already repaid yesterday’s debt! Now check out and get lost!” “Heh heh heh, what harsh treatment. But it’s fine by me.” “It’s because you keep barging in whenever the two of us are alone together!” “As far as I can see, you two have been enjoying your private time to the fullest, round the clock?” Gash and Heery were momentarily at a loss for words. It wasn’t as if they were having sex from morning till night, but it was undeniable that their conversation took on a honeyed tone whenever they were alone.
Having completely lost their sleep, the two of them finally got up.
“Well, what is it? We can cover the room and let you go.”
“No, no. I held back yesterday because I couldn’t disturb the lovers’ night as a spirit.”
Bright smiled brightly.
“Feels like we were disturbed enough.”
“I have a request, Gash Zapper.”
”…What?”
He was their benefactor, after all. Though “Who the hell are you?” would have been an easier answer, Gash shrugged on his jacket and turned to face her with a resigned expression.
“Let’s have sex.”
”…Huh?”
Heery and Gash both let out a stunned voice simultaneously.
“Well, yesterday Heery told me something to that effect, but she’s right—it’s probably better to try it myself than just watch what others are doing.”
“W-w-why Gash?! Just grab some random elf off the street!”
Still half-naked, Heery clung to Gash and bared her teeth.
Bright paid no attention to the commotion.
“Isn’t that a decision for Gash to make? I’m not asking you to become my husband. I simply wish to grant this favor to my benefactor who wants to have sex with me once.”
“Not happening, one time won’t cut it! Gash is all stamina and no finesse!”
“Heey, Heery, that hurts.”
“Sorry.”
“Hahaha, then how about two or three times?”
“U… w-well, I still don’t feel ready to properly evaluate Gash, so let’s make it five.”
“What the hell, idiot spirit, raising the stakes on your own!”
Gash bonked Heery on the head.
“I-I mean, if Nenne’s spirit thinks Gash is just clumsy, that would be terrible!!”
“I appreciate the thought, but isn’t this playing right into the hands of that suspicious woman?”
“You two are fascinating.”
In the end, even after checking out of the inn, Bright followed them. “If we’re heading south, we could aim for the Lapar Archipelago or Sheer Island… or take a ship to enter the Goat Kingdom and head to the Southern Great Plains.” “Gash, have you ever been abroad?”
“Not a chance. I’ve been stationed with the inland patrol all this time, you know.”
We left Helykon behind.
To the east lay the Elven Forest Dominion. Even I knew that it wasn’t a place that would easily let through someone as sketchy as Hielie, especially since she was no soldier. If we were to traverse the country on foot and head south, the forest route was our only option, but for various reasons, travelers tended to shy away from the troublesome forest dominion.
“Then, are you going to Quica?”
“…Blight, how long do you plan to follow me?”
“I’d say until we’re done having sex with Gash.”
“It’s not like I’m Gash!”
“Wasn’t it agreed you’d put up with it five times?”
“…Wait, did we?”
“Don’t get taken for a ride. Or rather, don’t let them talk you into it, Hielie.”
Walking the road, Gash couldn’t help feeling uneasy, fearing he might inadvertently reach some bizarre consensus at any moment.
“Besides, I can only get hard for anyone other than lizard women when it’s Hielie.”
“My, my.”
“…Gash ♪”
“Mm. Then how about this?”
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no other travelers visible down the road, Blight opened his clothes to show him.
Magnificent breasts caught the edge of Gash’s peripheral vision, but he slowly shook his head.
“Not a single twitch.”
“…Mmm, we’ve hit a difficult problem. How on earth can I manage five times with Gash?”
“Hurry up and close your chest!”
Hielie tugged at Blight’s clothes to shut them back in.
“So it’s impossible. Honestly, even I find it strange. I’ve never felt any desire for human-type women before.”
“And yet you seem to have lustful thoughts about Hielie every night.”
“How do you know that?”
“Is it really true you do it every night? You’re young, aren’t you.”
Bitten by the taunt, Gash stuck his tongue out.
Night.
Foot travelers set up camp.
If we had a carriage, we could reliably make it to an inn, but Gash was unwilling to waste money on lodging in preparation for the travel expenses expected ahead, so he chose to camp out.
It wasn’t an unusual sight along the road, and since this area had been cleared of bandits half a year ago, any outlaws around were likely just amateurs.
Even if some destitute rogue was armed with a blade, it would be no trouble for a warrior of Gash’s caliber to defeat him.
Besides, Hielie was potentially stronger than Gash. The water spirit that she freely generated and manipulated as a weapon, without any specific gestures or spell incantations, lay beyond the current scope of magical common sense.
“I suppose we could just wander around here, though. The cold should last about another two months before it warms up.”
“If we’re doing this anyway, let’s go somewhere far. I’d have a good time anywhere as long as it’s with Gash.”
“…You two.”
Unknowingly, Gash and Hielie found themselves making out in front of the campfire.
“Where did Blight go?”
“He left his baggage… behind, so he’s probably picking flowers or something.”
“Want me to just go ahead and do it now?”
“Do it how?”
「Gash’s dong. Give it to me. If we hurry, you should be able to jack off once at least, probably」
「Your phrasing was real weird just now, Gash」
Saying this, Gash let out a throaty growl, sensing an unexpected opportunity.
Sex with Heerly had already become a nightly habit for Gash. He wanted to take advantage of even the slightest chance.
Glancing around, Gash quickly pinned Heerly down.
「Since we’re rushing, you can just fuck me all the way in at once」
「You’re always ready to go, aren’t you?」
「I just get a vibe when Gash is about to get horny♪」
The lizard’s lips and the spirit’s lips devoured each other.
In between, he swiftly pulled down his underwear, and Gash frantically rammed one of his hemipenis members into Heerly.
A familiar, yet addictive pleasure enveloped Gash.
「Kcch…!」
「Mmnh… Gash, don’t stick to just one side, use both of them at the same time with my ass too」
「If you shove it up my ass, that’ll be a nightmare to clean up…!」
「Speaking privately, once we start, we can just keep going even if Brite gets in the way…♪」
「This perverted spirit really has thick skin…!」
He pumped inside Heerly at full depth from the very start. Neither of them had any purpose other than ejaculation; it was a frantic session.
There was something intensely arousing about this specific setup.
Heerly wrapped his hands around the lizardman who lay atop him, showering rough kisses onto that scaly reptilian face while continuing to present her pussy.
Just then.
「Well, well. I knew you’d started already.」
Brite appeared right on cue.
「I-I might have something to say, but later, okay?」
Gash pinned Heerly down so he wouldn’t escape, swaying his hips while looking up at Brite.
Brite was completely naked. It seemed he had been bathing in the nearby river.
Water droplets sliding over a curvaceous, feminine nude body reflected the moonlight and the campfire, gleaming in gold and silver.
「No, I don’t really have anything to say. But may I join in?」
「Y-You’re still here!?」
「Well, honestly, I just couldn’t think of anything else. If I only get horny for Heerly, then the only option is to partake in her company, isn’t it?」
「Eh, eh…?」
Accepting Gash’s lust with his lower body, Heerly let out a dissatisfied voice.
「If we just keep this up, aren’t we going to wastefully spit all over the ground from one side only?」
「W-Well, I guess you’re right, but…!」
「Then, excuse me.」
With a fwt, Brite vanished in the moonlight.
In the next instant, he had slid his plump naked body into position beneath Gash, facing Heerly as if embracing her.
「Stop misusing that teleport trick of yours every single time!」
「Mm-mm. You’d find it a hassle to pull out of Heerly and make room for me each time, wouldn’t you?」
The androgynous beauty smiled softly with a kukuku laugh. That smile was strangely childlike, making Gash’s heart skip faster than the nudity did.
Heerly, who sensed this keenly, pinched Gash’s soft flank while—
”…It’s just because it’s while I’m here, okay!? And don’t get cocky, Bright. This is my… um, what do you call her?” ”…I’d at least like you to say ‘boyfriend’.” “You think I’m just your girlfriend, don’t you? I thought you were going to say ‘wife.’” “Wife isn’t enough. She’s the woman of my destiny.” “T-Then she’s the man of my destiny! Got it, Bright!?” ”…Yeah, yeah. It is indeed while you’re here.”
The two spirits pressed their crotches together tightly, each desiring the lizard’s private part on their respective genitals. Gashu let out a sigh as he vigorously pumped both private parts.
