A story taking place between Chapter 124 of the main series, “Family Talk,” and Chapter 125, “Royal Capital University Tales.”
After staying up all night having sex with Ailerina far too thoroughly, I arrived back at the baron’s residence in the morning.
“Where have you been, Andy?”
”…Sorry, I just… a little bit with Ailerina…”
Dearane looked somewhat troubled.
“Hmm, well, I won’t stop it, but… just to confirm, do you intend to make her a female slave as well?”
“Please don’t say things like Feyser does…”
Everyone uses terms like “slave” so lightly that I’ve become numb to it, but making someone a female slave is undeniably an act that would startle others if they heard about it.
“Then what kind of relationship do you intend to have?” ”…”
Right now, it feels like we’re just sex friends, but the more I think about it, the more precarious the situation is in various ways. Yep.
”…If I’m being honest with my impression,” “Huh?”
“Judging by her status, she’s already sufficiently… in a state that’s even worse than Luna’s female slave condition, if you ask me?” “N-no, no way…”
“Having sex with humans and bearing Half-Elf children is still not exactly a behavior widely tolerated among the Elves. But since you are the hero who saved Breakcore and Diel, it might be harder for them to openly condemn you… if that’s the case.” “Hmph…”
It’s true that the Elves have only just begun their full-scale exchanges with the outside world, like Trotts. The impression I get is that Selen and Apple are merely tolerated because of the merits they achieved alongside me, rather than fully accepted.
The mindset hasn’t really changed all that much.
”…Well, since Anzeros’s father is also from the White Clan, Aerina’s family probably isn’t too radical in its stance… but even so, there were cases where, seventy years ago, all of Aerina’s maids who had been impregnated by outside bandits were collectively banished on the grounds that their blood was contaminated.” ”…I-I see…”
Thinking about it again, I really do come across as a super deviant for taking endless advantage of her like that.
“But Andy, that’s not what you should be focusing on. While it is related, it’s not the core issue.” ”?”
“What I’m trying to say is, despite all those realities, the fact that Aerina is actively drawn to you and allowing herself to be with you physically… Don’t take that lightly.” ”…Yes, I understand.”
It might actually be a pretty courageous act for her.
And yet, I referred to her casually as just a sex friend, and perhaps I treated Aerina too lightly.
No, maybe I was too complacent about being able to embrace her based on mere desire, acting without much thought.
I should probably stop doing it so casually from now on… though I do feel a bit weird thinking about it, considering I just spent the last moment enjoying Aerina’s vagina slickly while half-asleep, cum inside her again and again.
“You’ve realized it, haven’t you? I can tell by your face.” “Y-Yes… I have…”
「Then let me ask this again. …If Irine were cast out of the forest, what is your intent for her? I intend to settle this matter.» 「Huh?」
“This isn’t a time for you to brush it off with ‘it won’t happen.’ Irine is fully aware of her disability, yet she clings to you and has fucked you numerous times. The question isn’t whether you will sleep with Irine in the future. It’s whether you will take her in as a female slave, treat her as a wife, or discard her once you’re done.” 「Discard, meaning…」
“Well, I doubt you’d actually do such a thing. Think it through carefully. If given the choice between the forest and you, Irine will likely choose you and accept the exile. Don’t try to dodge it with vague words.” 「…………」
Heard from Diane-san, indeed, that is what I think.
Irine may verbally refuse internal ejaculation, but she doesn’t refuse sex itself, and once I finish inside her, she lets go of all resistance and clings to me completely. If a child were to result from this, and I told her ‘bear the child and leave the forest’… I imagine she would take the leap. …Wait?
「Hold on, Diane-san」 「What is it?」
「I know it’s a bit late for me to realize this, but aren’t we doing something that sounds exactly like what Phaser meant by conditioning?」
“Rape her, break her mind, and force her to obey you… Ah, yes, she certainly fits the profile of our most ‘conditioned’ slave so far.”
Irine and I weren’t particularly close before we started having sex. In fact, it’s true that after we slept together, she became drastically more clingy and casual in how she stuck to me.
With the previous girls, their affections were driven by ordinary kindness, minor misunderstandings, racial dynamics, or personal sexual quirks first and foremost. This was the first time someone fell headfirst into a sexual relationship pit as directly as Irine has.
「Eek. Please spare me that title」
「…Well, just don’t let Phaser find out about this, alright?」 I was abandoned.
…Yeah, if I can’t maintain this level of follow-up anymore, any normal person would just drop me. It’s past noon.
Occasionally, instead of holed up in the forge, I go out and run through marching drills and target practice.
Let your guard down for a second, and your stamina plummets. Even if I leave the melee fighting to the others, if I can’t even run properly when it comes down to it, that’s not good enough.
So, here we are: I’m going back and forth along the road next to the forest over and over, shooting at the straw dummies set up in the meadow, working hard to keep my fitness up. “Hah…”
Lately, I’ve been able to make it through the night on the bed without Heva showing any signs of giving out, but apparently sex and running really do work different muscles.
The distance I could run hadn’t increased much. “Hmm. You put a lot of spirit into this.” “Ireyna.”
At some point, Ireyna had sat down on a rock by the side of the road.
“Well, I’ll admit it’s impressive that you’re running that hard so soon after yesterday. For me, my back was stiff for quite a while after I woke up.” “Ah… sorry about that.”
“I’m not saying it was bad, mind you? …Mm. Occasionally doing things like that, without worrying about time or caring about anything but desire… well, that’s…” She lowered her ears, blushing with embarrassment.
I suppose it’s hard to keep a straight face when your head is in the clouds from what just happened. But still.
”…Mm, ‘without worrying about time,’ huh.”
Her bashful expression suddenly shifted into a serious look. She stared ahead blankly, lost in thought for a while.
“What are you thinking about, Ailina?”
“Mm? No, um… by the way, if you think about it, Lord Smiyson isn’t all that well-versed in the forest, is he?”
“Well, if you’re asking whether I’m an expert or not… but among the Trotta, I’d say I know my way around here better than most.”
Taken aback by the sudden change of topic. Combined with the slight dizziness from sprinting in, I couldn’t muster a brisk response.
Ailina nodded, saying “So it is,” and gripped my hand firmly.
“Alright, then I shall show you around the forest for a bit today. It is my duty.” “Wha— what the hell?!”
“It seems rather odd that Lord Smiyson, the Hero who saved the forest, does not know it well, would he not? You do not know more than half of the clan territories. If you offer blessings in such a state, the Elves of the Northern Forest will call you ungrateful.” “Ungrateful to who?!”
It sounded like a forced argument, but unable to shake off Ailina’s stubborn grip, I found myself being dragged into the woods. “——Open.” We crossed over the ancient barrier.
The area right after entering the forest is the Silver Clan Territory.
“If we came straight from marching drills, Lyla and Dianne will fuss about us later, so let’s go back first and come again…”
“What? Do not worry. I will send a messenger later.”
Ailina, looking strangely pleased, strolled leisurely toward the center of the Silver Clan territory, the clan manor. I followed behind her.
“Well, Lady Irena of the White clan. How do you do?” “Mm, it’s a fine day.”
The elf on the road gave Irena a simple blessing sign. It seems that among elves, showing respect to superiors is traditionally done this way as a form of greeting.
“You’re in high spirits too, Master Polka’s Smaison” “Ah, hi there.” I gave a light nod in return.
The elves of the Silver clan are in a somewhat delicate position, making them a tribe whose stance is hard to read until you see how they stand.
Some middle-aged elves even look at me with distaste, and Feizer is also of the Silver clan.
However, there is another aspect: they are a subordinate clan of Misty Palace, Myia’s place of origin.
The dragons of Misty Palace have shown almost complete friendship toward me, so many elves are not unkind to us here, following the dragons’ intentions, just like the elf who greeted me earlier.
Also, their proximity to Polka is a significant factor. With the support of the dragons’ will, and driven by curiosity, numerous young elves have come out to interact with Polka. Among them, some have already started to consider humans good friends.
“Seeing as you’re sweating, why don’t we go soak in the hot spring, Smaison-san?” “Ah… suppose so.”
The Silver clan’s territory is also a region where spirit springs bubble up from the same source as those at Polka. The efficacy is almost identical.
However, since few people come to this forest with such poor visibility, there may be no need to prepare bath facilities, or perhaps due to tradition, the accumulated spirit springs were left without any fencing or changing huts. The style was quite informal: you just entered wherever there was space.
In particular, no specific spring was designated for a particular gender. Given that state of affairs, peering in while others were bathing to check if they were inside was not considered a fault, and if everyone agreed not to mind, sharing the same spring was also acceptable.
“…Diane’s colony had the same setup, huh.”
“There’s even a theory that this custom is exactly why almost no one outside the Silver Elves enters the springs—they just drink from the spouting water.”
“Regular elves must really find this embarrassing, huh…”
Wandering through the forest and peering into various springs, I noticed women frequented them often, likely due to their interest in skincare. Seeing me and Aerina, they would offer a wry smile and ask, “Would you like to join us?” I was about to say yes every time, but Aerina kept turning them down.
“I’ve heard that the Misty Palace dragons’ indifference toward nudity has actually influenced the Silver Elves’ habits.”
“I have a great deal of respect for Brol and his crew right now.” “You idiot.” I got whacked with a stick.
After checking out seven or eight naked elves—or rather, touring the springs—we finally found an empty spot at a more secluded spring. “Alright, let’s get in then.” “Mm.”
As I undressed, Aerina stripped down to her underwear as a matter of course. “Hold on—are we getting in together?”
“Hm? Are you being modest all of a sudden?”
“It’s not that I mind, but is it okay?”
“I have been intending to do exactly that from the start, you know.”
Dropping her skirt with a mischievous smile, Aerina exposed her hairless crotch to the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. “I’m tired right now, so…” “Mm.”
“…Your pussy is super energetic, but are you sure we should soak together?”
“You’re saying the same thing even if you aren’t tired.”
Airina took off her jacket and draped it over a branch. She loosely tied her hair into a ponytail with a vine leaf, stepped into the spring, and watched me undress with a mischievous grin. “Splendid,” she said. “Very good, very good.”
I stripped off quickly and joined Airina beside me. The water was pleasantly lukewarm—perfect for a long soak. And then… “…Phew.” “Hoo-hoo… warm bath it is,” we both exhaled simultaneously. After that, I said, “Well, let’s get started.”
“Fwuh… w-wait, aren’t you going to enjoy the hot spring a bit more, you idiot?” “No way. Here, don’t run away now.”
“Try catching me, since you’re a soldier who relies on endurance, right~♪”
Splashing around, chasing after Ailina in the spring.
Partway through, Ailina used a spell to walk on water, positioning her ass at exactly my eye level, taunting me further as I chased her desperately.
In the end, Ailina seemed to let herself get caught almost on purpose, and I tackled her down in the shallow part.
“Heh heh… It’s been a while since we were this silly in the bath hall.”
“Even as the clan leader, you shouldn’t be being so indecently clumsy.”
“And who is it that was wonderfully provoked into heat and pinned them down with such intensity?” “That would be me.” I’m sorry for having no filter. “Mm… ” “Mmuu… Mmhuh… ” “Nchu… Nnn— ” ”…Hah.”
I exchanged a kiss with Irina. Her thin tongue and small mouth did not just fail to reject the intrusion of my tongue; she actively tried to wrap hers around it.
Stubbornly, we chased each other’s tongues, licking at the inside of one another’s mouths.
”…You silly fool. Talking all high and mighty, yet look at that lewd tongue technique…♪”
”…A punishment for a shameless clan leader.”
“I have entered the Silver Village and followed the silver customs, did I not? It was you who arbitrarily went into heat.” “Of course she does. That’s normal.”
”…I know nothing of your ‘normal,’ and I do not know you all that well… except for the ferocity of that rare beast…♪”
Irina lightly hooked one of her legs around my waist. She was teasing me.
It felt a bit uncool to just take the bait without any resistance in this kind of situation. But.
“Well, let me tell you something good. I’m super perverted.”
“I… knew that… nngh!!”
And so, following her lead, I thrust into her.
It didn’t matter if it was uncool. Irina was cute and precious to me.
I’m not the type to hold back and worry about my image in a situation like this.
“Mmm… ckk, haa… ♪”
Airina’s wet ponytail spread out over the shallow water, just a few centimeters deep, creating complex, rippling patterns with each slap.
My one hand was being grabbed by both her arms, pinning me in a position where I couldn’t escape. To anyone watching, it was obvious who the aggressor was.
But her legs were clamped tightly around my hips in a crab hold, refusing to let go. She gripped my waist firmly to endure my rough, rhythmic thrusting, ensuring that I didn’t slip away from her as I took my cock deep inside her.
And her pussy, which matched me perfectly in compatibility, was greedily devouring my dick with joy.
Her young vagina, now fully accustomed to being ravished by me, squeezed tight with every one of my thrusts, whimpering in pleasure. The fluids overflowing from her seemed to synchronize with the liquids spilling from Airina’s distorted expression and dripping from her lips and eyes. “Haa… haa… ♪”
“Airina… Airina, it feels good, your body…!!”
“W-wawa’s also… wawa is going to melt… ♪” “I think I’m about to cum soon…”
“W-you know what that means, don’t you… You’re going to shoot out inside me…”
“Ahh, I know… I know, but…”
Airina’s legs aren’t letting go at all.
”……Some pervert somewhere’s saying they don’t want to go out, so it looks like we can’t…”
“Who is it that spouts such nonsense? That weirdo wh-… ♪”
“Who could it be…? N-No, I’m coming, I’m cumming, Ailina!!”
“Mm-huh… Ah, inside… You damn fool, deep inside… ♪”
With her legs clamped tightly around me, Ailina cursed me out as she took my ejaculation deep inside her pussy.
I slumped over, draping myself across Ailina’s body. She lay her head sideways against my chest and let out a heavy voice, “Mmmh~.” ”…Haa, hah…”
”…You always dump so much… Well, since we’ve been breeding nonstop from dawn till now, taking it out now wouldn’t do any good anyway… You really have no manners, ♪”
“I did try to pull out… Mm, I’m not the one at fault here.”
“Stop lying. You only pulled back right before you smeared your seed juice deep inside my cervix.” “Caught?”
“Caught? There’s nothing to catch about. Wara-wara is the one being fucked after all.” Thap. I got smacked on the head. ”…It’s about time we switched.” ”?”
Thinking there might be some time limit for using Izumi, I got forcibly flipped over by Ailina and ended up on the bottom.
“If you keep hovering over me like that, it must be heavy, no? Wara-wara is small, you know?” “Sorry.”
”……For heaven’s sake, show a little consideration.” “But you’re not pulling out, right?”
“I am tired. Allow me to rest upon the bed for a while.”
Iryna kept my cock in her mouth as she flopped face-down on top of me with a soft thump. Or rather, she was simply clinging to me affectionately. ”……Why is it that you do not soften?”
“If you just sleep like that, I’d probably ejaculate about once every thirty minutes, even without moving.”
It feels incredibly good inside Iryna’s mouth. “Shall we test that theory?” “Seriously?” She genuinely persisted until I came.
I didn’t know whether to call it refreshing or just plain relieved.
We left the Forest of Springs and headed toward a plaza located at a specific point within the clan’s fief.
It was a strangely shaped plaza, but plazas of this same configuration existed in every clan fief.
One could travel between these plazas by activating a simple spell.
“Next up……well, since we are here, shall we go to the Gold Fief?” “Is there something special about ‘Gold’?”
“A great river flows through the Golden territory. Its scenery is unrivaled.”
Iryna declared this with a proud air before activating the teleportation spell.
If things went south, a single massive peak in the Gold territory could well rival the Blue Serpent Ridge in height, standing there with an imposing den—a sudden, overwhelming presence.
A river flowed beside it. The water source seemed to come partly from the mountains as well.
There was a waterfall hundreds of meters wide and likely close to one hundred meters in drop, near which stood a clan estate. “Whoa—.” “Isn’t it magnificent?”
“You’re right. This is something else. I went on an expedition down the Grand Almonica River before, but I’ve never seen a waterfall like this.”
“Hero’s Peak and that waterfall are one of our great glories in the Gold territory.” “Hero’s Peak?”
“Our legends say that when an Elf of sufficient stature dies, their soul descends as a lesser spirit to dwell within that mountain. Eventually, they become part of the Light Spirit itself.”
“Hmm. So elves have that sort of thing too, huh?” “Do humans believe in it as well?”
“Plenty of them do. The trotter church’s doctrine holds that the dead ride the flow of spiritual energy, cycling around until they finally reach Mount Lyka.” “I see.”
“There, the Earth Guardian judges their souls and assigns them new fates, allowing them to be reborn, apparently.” “And anything else?”
“In Celesta, it seems every colony has its own distinct view on death—different as the number of colonies themselves. Though lately, I hear more and more folks are losing faith in local traditions.” “How lamentable.”
As they chatted, we headed to a nearby ranch under Irina’s guidance.
The ranch kept a small herd of one-horned horses.
We settled on borrowing one of the mares to ride two-up, heading upstream a bit to check out the massive cliffs that line the riverbank.
“Mm… It’s proving rather difficult finding a mount willing to take us.”
“I’ve heard unicorn horses are into virgins. Maybe Ireena won’t let anyone else ride because of that?”
“N-no! That is superstition! They run away because you give off such an unpleasant aura!”
Ireena had been utterly spooked off by the unicorns every single time she’d tried.
“Mm… Goerux’s older sister used to ride them calmly enough even after marrying into the Shiro clan, you know…”
“Wait, Goerux’s sister married into the Shiro clan? So does that make him your brother-in-law?”
“If we go back four or five generations, yes, Goerux is indeed my kinsman’s brother. But I have no siblings of my own.”
“W-was me worried for a second… I thought if Goerux found out I’d hit on you, he might kill me.”
“He used to visit the Shiro lands frequently, and we played together when I was little. Who knows what could have happened?”
”…Hey, if I charged at you, I’d die instantly? Unlike Azureus or whatever, I have zero defense stats?”
Hehehe, well now, that would be quite the disaster for you~” Ireena sneered with a mischievous smile.
In the end, one of the old horses actually seemed to listen when we asked it, so we hitched a small carriage built for two or three passengers and started heading upstream along the river road. “Huh, surprisingly few elves here.”
“The gold-folk are particularly short on numbers, you see. Cristy was saying that the sheer purifying power of the Heroic Peaks has driven their reproductive rates down to an all-time low.”
“By that logic, wouldn’t the red-folk be scarce too, since they have the Sacred Beast Labyrinth?”
“Not so much. The red-folk are a clan that tends to venture outside regardless of circumstances, so Cristy reasoned that they’ve likely managed to balance out their exposure to bad fates accordingly.” “Things really do get complicated, huh.”
“Compared to the mundane world outside? Nothing special at all.”
Clop-clop. We climbed the slope until we reached the waterfall. We kept the carriage moving slowly for a while, and soon we could see a group of elves playing in the river.
Wait, it’s still summer now, isn’t it? It’s already autumn back in Polka, but time seems to move much slower within the Evergreen Forest.
And besides… from what I can see, those elves are naked too. I really can’t go around judging Silver for her behavior.
“Huh, looks like they’ve got low modesty standards in this place too.”
“It’s merely tradition: the upper part of the waterfall is reserved for women to bathe, and the lower part for men. Don’t get any closer than this under any circumstances, or I can’t be responsible if you get shot by an arrow.” ”…Understood.” Yeah. Fair enough.
By the time the sky turned red, we arrived at the Great Cliff.
It was a piece of land art carved out by the river.
The height seemed to be easily around five hundred meters. Looking up from below, it had an overwhelming grandeur.
“To think there’s something like this… The Elven Forest is way cooler than I expected. I thought it was just a boring forest with nothing in it.”
“Because of the distortion caused by the Ancient Barrier, they say that in terms of area alone, it’s more than three times the size of the Trotto Kingdom. If it’s that big, well, all sorts of things are to be expected.”
“If you went around the whole thing, it doesn’t look like something you could finish off in a month or two.”
“Well, I’ll just guide you through the places that can be covered in two or three days. Be thankful and worship me.”
“Ah, you forcibly dragged me here, didn’t you? Saying it was so the Elves wouldn’t say I was ungrateful or something.”
“For the Elves as a whole, that is true. But holding personal gratitude toward me… that is your freedom, my child.”
“Ah… …Fine, whatever. I guess I’m actually seeing some pretty amazing sights.” “Heh heh heh.”
Mihoko. The great cliff face. The gentle river. And the waterfall creating a rainbow.
I could afford to be grateful. It was indeed a view grand enough to evoke such feelings.
“Now then… if you are feeling gratitude, shouldn’t you show it through your actions? Isn’t that polite?” “Huh?”
”…W-Well, fortunately for you—no, unfortunately—you have already received my reckless finish-inside-your-face treatment multiple times today. No matter how many more times I dump it in you, nothing will change.”
“No, wait, what the hell are you blabbering about out here in the open air, Chief?”
“Oh, elves don’t go so far as to retreat indoors just to copulate. No, rather, for lovers, venturing deep into the forest together is the very metaphor for procreation.” ”……Ah, right.” “So then… uh…”
“I get it, I get it. …You absolute slut.” “Hh…♪” “Ah, and also…” “Mm…?”
”…Would you prefer to be my lover, Aielina?”
Trying to feign nonchance as if it were a trivial add-on, I asked a rather crucial question. “Ah, uh…”
Tinkering with the hem of her skirt, her ears drooping, Aielina turned beet red and stammered out her words.
“You may be a hero, but you are merely human after all, and I am one of the apex of Elvenkind. It is inevitable that you would fall in love with me, but our relationship as lovers… well, it might be a bit complicated.” “I see…” “But t-there’s just…”
Aielina gripped my hand tightly and looked up at me with a somewhat desperate expression.
”…If it were you, I suppose you would ignore my circumstances entirely.” ”…………”
“T-take me… forcibly make me your own…”
”…Just so you know, Aielina.” ”…………”
“I call that kind of thing a female slave, y’know?” ”…I am aware.”
“‘Female Slave’ is actually a pretty embarrassing title, you know? And I don’t hold back with my own female slave.” “……I am aware.” “But even so…” I said it deliberately. “But even so, do you still want to be fucked, you slut?”
By using such harsh words, I gave her a way out and pushed her away, yet as I pressed in on her, my voice sounded somewhat spoiled, as if I were being needy myself.
“……I am the Chieftain. Ailina, the Chieftain of the White Clan.”
And so, maintaining a rigid composure merely in form,
“Even so, you’re going to fuck me, aren’t you, pervert?”
Forcing the decision back onto me while unfastening the clasp of her mantle and letting it drop.
“……You know that well enough.” “……It’s because I’m a slut ♪”
And so, the two of us pushed the responsibility onto each other before kissing and falling into the bushes together.
The one-horned horse snorted bruur. Probably laughing at how ridiculous we were. (To be continued)
