Basson is a provincial city near the northernmost limit of Celesta Kingdom, close to Trot Kingdom. Currently, it is far from the western border of the Afilum Empire, which is the front line of national defense. The modest military base nearby houses only one hundred soldiers, and even they are mainly specialized crossbow corps for large-scale combat support. The Northern Legion has no connection to either the eastern or western fronts, nor does it have ties to the elite soil in the south. Frankly, it’s not expected to perform well in times of crisis, especially since it was particularly depleted during the Trot War. Furthermore, the original northern face is now covered by the Trot Army, which was largely transferred from the former Trot Kingdom Army, so it’s unlikely to become an emergency situation. With that said, while it sounds nice to call them “the tiger cubs,” many of these elite units and experimental groups are labeled as reserves by the higher-ups, leaving them to endlessly research new tactics and engage in mindless training. The crossbow corps, as is well-known, performed exceptionally during the Trot War, but they are treated as one of the experimental units. And while being left with no tasks can be frustrating, it’s also a bit uncomfortable, especially when you’re told, “Stay and train if you want,” but you don’t know what to do. Unlike regular infantry or cavalry units, which can focus on intense training to improve their skills and use their achievements to appeal for promotions in the Ace Night trials, crossbows are handled very simply and require magic support, so there’s only so much you can do to build up your strength. They’re a unit that only thrives when led by a charismatic leader.
So, during this sudden long vacation, Arnie Boyd (an 18-year-old male Ogre) couldn’t return home and spent his time in the barracks. After finishing some decent marksmanship training in the morning, he ran back and forth for an hour to Basson City, using it as a substitute for marching drills. He also enjoyed occasional rendezvous with his human lover (a 19-year-old female) “as part of his training.” It’s not like there was anyone telling him to train while in the barracks, but he still thought it’d be better to train vigorously rather than just loitering around while she worked at the fry shop. Sylvia, being the one who always worked from noon to evening, seemed a bit uneasy about him sticking around so much.
Sweating profusely, Arnie ran along the wheel ruts of a carriage, greeted by Sylvia with a smile on the edge of the town’s grassland.
Beside her were a water bucket and a few roasted birds. She had prepared them since morning, anticipating his arrival.
“Sylvia-san… I’m really happy about the roasted birds, but isn’t it expensive for you to prepare them every day?”
“It’s fine, Arnie-kun. You caught that wild boar the other day, didn’t you? Compared to that, these are nothing.”
It was part of his mandatory hunting skills back in the Ogre Colony, and he occasionally spotted wild boars or deer and hunted them to bring to Sylvia’s family home. Sylvia’s mother was delighted, but her father wore a troubled expression.
Arnie felt a bit disliked, but it’s not like any father would be happy about his daughter falling head over heels for a 277-centimeter-tall Ogre.
But Sylvia is genuinely head-over-heels in love with Arnie.
“Ehehe. I changed the herbs I use to stuff them and the sauce I brush on today.”
“Well then, let’s dig in.”
Arnie took a big bite of the roasted bird with his large Ogre mouth.
“It’s delicious!”
“Which one do you like more—yesterday’s or today’s?”
“They’re both hard to choose between.”
“No way, pick one.”
Sylvia leaned close to Arnie and poked his face with her finger, urging him to make a choice.
Arnie looked flustered but took a small sip from the water bucket. For humans, it might be a large jug, but for an Ogre like him, it was just the right size.
“Then today’s.”
“Got it. I’ll work even harder tomorrow then.”
“Yes, I’m looking forward to it.”
After delivering lunch to Arnie, Sylvia went off to work at the fry shop.
Arnie ran back and forth between the barracks and the city several times, occasionally hunting wild animals if he saw them, and waited for her shift to end. Then, he’d take a short walk home together as a date.
Or at least, that’s usually how it goes.
“…So, Arnie-kun.”
“Yes?”
[Annie, who was stuffing his face with the third roasted bird, had been a little puzzled as Sylvia hadn’t returned to town yet. But when Sylvia suddenly smiled and hopped onto his lap, he felt his heart skip a beat.]
Sylvia: “Actually, I’m off today.”
Annie: ”…For real?”
Sylvia: “Yeah. So let’s go on a date in the afternoon♪”
Annie was overjoyed. However, it wasn’t easy for humans to read an Ogre’s expression of excitement.
Sylvia: “W-wait, do you have any work, Annie-kun?”
Annie: “N-no, not really… but… uwaah.”
[A date.]
It wasn’t just a casual chat like usual—it was a luxurious date that took up half the day.
Annie wondered if he should hurry back to get the jacket Kelly had given him, or maybe he should find a water source somewhere to wash off the sweat (since humans don’t like the smell of sweat, unlike Ogres, including females), and his eyes started spinning as he thought about it.
Sylvia: “If it’s a date, then I’ll… uh, take care of my appearance a bit.”
Annie: “W-wait, if you do that, we’ll lose time for the date!”
Sylvia: “Then let’s go super fast… at least wash off the sweat or something.”
Was it okay to rely on her? Maybe she was holding back after all.
While he was worrying about this, Annie couldn’t resist Sylvia’s pleading gaze as she tugged at his sleeve, and he was swept along with her.
Annie: ”…W-where are we going?”
Sylvia: “Yay♪ Let’s go hiking!”
Annie: “Hiking, huh? Sounds good.”
Annie, who had been worried that if they went to a place like the arena, other humans might give them dirty looks because of the smell of sweat and indirectly embarrass Sylvia, felt relieved. Once he started worrying about something, Annie tended to overthink it.
Despite his large stature, he was surprisingly delicate—a trait that Sylvia found utterly charming.
Sylvia loved riding on Annie’s shoulders.
“Shoulder rides” might sound simple, but since Annie’s neck was a bit too thick for a girl to step onto, she would sit on one side of his broad shoulder.
Sylvia: “You’re so tall, Annie-kun.”
Annie: “Well, I’m an Ogre, after all.”
Sylvia: “If you’re this tall, wouldn’t humans look tiny and you might accidentally kick them or something?”
Annie: “To be honest, sometimes I almost end up kicking children by accident…”
If an Ogre stepped on a human child while walking, it wouldn’t end well. He’d never actually done it, but he’d heard stories of Ogre soldiers accidentally kicking Dwarves in the barracks and causing trouble.
Sylvia: ”…I’m really small… from your perspective, I must seem like a cat or something, right?”
Annie: “N-no, not at all… Sylvia-san is… more than that, she’s amazing… ah.”
Sylvia: “W-wait, don’t say things like that just because we’re in the forest!”
Annie: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”
Sylvia: ”…But I’m happy.”
Ogre and human, shoulder above and below—though their scales were different, both turned bright red with embarrassment.
The two of them, shyly avoiding eye contact in the afternoon forest, refused to let go of each other.
Unable to hold back the silence, they desperately tried to think of something to say.
Just as I was about to speak, Sylvia beat me to it.
”…Hey, Arnie-kun.”
“Yes… uh, yes?”
”…How big do you think an Ogre baby would be? Do you think I could have one?”
“Uh… well, babies are pretty much the same size for Ogres and humans, so I think it’d be fine… ah, ah!”
“I see. I was a little worried about that.”
“Ah, ah, ah… me and Sylvia-san’s baby…”
Arnie Boyd. My brain was on fire.
I’d already lost my virginity to Sylvia, but we always acted so reserved that we’d never gone further than this. This was Arnie.
However, I’d already experienced the pleasure of it. Once I started thinking about it, my lower half couldn’t help but react. Youth, indeed.
”…Arnie-kun.”
“Yes!”
”…This is the forest. No one’s watching.”
“Yeah, you’re right.”
”…C-come on… it’s a boy, isn’t it?”
”…Yes, it’s a boy.”
Sylvia hugged the back of Arnie’s head, holding back her embarrassment.
It was Sylvia’s way of making the first move.
Sylvia was of an age. She wasn’t particularly shy about sex. In fact, every time we met, she always wanted to be with Arnie.
But saying it out loud was embarrassing. It wouldn’t do for her to be the only one excited if Arnie didn’t feel the same. That’s why she’d been waiting for him to say it all this time.
“So… Sylvia-san, um… I’m not sure if this is okay to say, but… let’s, uh… do it.”
”…You idiot.”
“Is that… no? No, right? Ahaha!”
“No, you’re wrong… I’ve been waiting for this the whole time.”
“Huh… uh, uh?”
“You’re such a fool!”
Using Arnie’s head as leverage, she spun around and descended in front of him.
Then, after a single kiss, Sylvia slowly began to take off her jacket in the dappled sunlight.
“Ah, Arnie-kun, you take it off too! Don’t make me feel embarrassed alone!”
“Yes, I will!”
Flustered, Arnie quickly started taking off his clothes as well.
And so, in the forest, they stood facing each other, completely naked.

Sylvia: “I-it’s… beautiful.”
Annie: ”…Thank you. You’re wonderful too, Annie-kun.”
Sylvia gazed at Annie’s rather small organ for an ogre, which was still pointing upward with desire, and smiled in awe.
Sylvia: ”…Annie-kun, do it again like before…”
Annie: “Uh, well…?”
Sylvia: “Grab me with those big hands of yours, thrust it into me hard, and then… cum a lot…♪”
Like a child begging for a hug from their parent, Sylvia spread her arms wide.
Annie carefully held her body, lightly enjoying her chest with his thumb while tilting her onto her back in front of his hips.
Sylvia: “Ah, my breasts… this is so lewd…”
Annie: “I-I’m sorry…”
Sylvia: ”…Annie-kun. I’ve said it before, but a relationship like ours is supposed to be lewd, okay?”
Sylvia: “So don’t apologize. It’s fine for you to feel that way about me. You’re the only one I welcome feeling this way. Annie-kun, do you think I’d dislike you if you did something lewd with me?”
Annie: “A little bit…”
Sylvia: “I wouldn’t. I would never dislike you. …Though if you stripped me in front of others or something like that, I might dislike you a little, but just a little.”
Annie: “I-I wouldn’t do that!”
Sylvia: “Yeah. So I’ll definitely not dislike you. That’s why you can do as much lewd things with me as you want when no one’s around.”
Annie: ”…Is it… okay?”
Sylvia: “Yeah. You can even hide in the bushes and lick my breasts, or let me lick yours in the thicket, or keep squeezing my butt. You can even drag me into the forest, put it in me, and even thrust it into me all day at an inn. And if I get pregnant with your ogre baby… you’ll take me as your wife, right?”
Annie: “E-even if you don’t get pregnant… if you’re okay with me, please, marry me!”
Sylvia: “Yeah♪ …As my future bride, you can do whatever lewd things you want, so give it your all♪”
With a sense of gratitude, he thrust into Sylvia deeply.
Sylvia showed her slender throat as she enjoyed herself.
Sylvia: “Ah, Annie-kun… it’s in again…♪”
Annie: “I-I love you, Sylvia-san…”
Slowly pushing deep and then pulling out slowly.
Adjusting the brake of reason and the accelerator of his beastly nature, he gradually increased the speed.
Sylvia: “Annie-kun… I love you so much…♪ Being with you like this, as a woman, makes me so happy…!!”
Annie: “I-I love you too… Sylvia-san! I’m not very smart, so I can only say this, but I really, truly love you!! If I could, I’d want to stay like this forever!”
Sylvia: ”…Ah, ahh… ah, haah… ah, Annie-kun too…?”
While being rocked onto her back, Sylvia smiled with genuine happiness.
Sylvia: “I-I want your cock… always…♪ I want you to do it so much, over and over again…!”
In the middle of the forest during broad daylight, an Ogre who had been stripped bare by his beautiful cross-species lover was being asked for so much.
Could there really be anyone else as fortunate as this?
”…Ugh, ahhh!!”
The moment Arnie saw Sylvia’s pure, lewd, and utterly blissful expression, he gave in to the pleasure he had been holding back and thrust deep into her womb, ejaculating.
“Nhaaah, ah, ahhhhhh♪”
“Sylvia-san!!”
He poured out a large amount of semen.
Sylvia, who had been trembling and swaying with each pulse for a while, suddenly went limp as the ejaculation ended.
“S-Sylvia…san…”
“Yes… lying on my back makes my neck get tired…”
It seemed she hadn’t lost consciousness, and Arnie felt relieved as he pulled out… but Sylvia protested.
“Y-Yah, don’t pull out yet!”
“But…”
”…If you lie on your stomach this time, I’ll still be okay… Arnie-kun, you still want to keep going, right…?”
”…Are we just gonna keep going like this?”
“Yes… because I said I want to keep going forever…♪”
Sylvia lifted her heavy head and smiled at Arnie.
“One time isn’t enough for us to keep going forever, is it?”
“Sylvia-san…”
”…Let’s do it♪ We’re lovers who love each other so much we can’t stand it♪”
”…Yes.”
That day, their lovemaking didn’t stop until sunset.
By the way, there were actually quite a few Ogres who, from broad daylight, were being thoroughly asked for by their cross-species lovers.
“K-Kate, Linne… hey, how many hours a day do you two usually spend wearing clothes?”
“Mmm, I don’t know…♪”
“New wife, no need to hold back. Kelly-san’s love is always available, so I’m prepared to burn and throw away my undergarments.”
“No, calm down. If you do that, the Bull Ogre colony doesn’t have enough small-sized clothes for replacements. And if you go out in that outfit, everyone in the colony will think I’m a pervert and I’ll be socially ruined.”
“We could just move to another land.”
“Alright, alright, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna do it!”
“Ahh, damn these perverted wolves! Absolutely no burning them! If Mother looks at me with those cold eyes anymore, I’ll cry!”
That was a bit of an extreme case.
