Safur was observing the situation with an oddly calm detachment.
The hot spring washroom, the sight of the women and cat girls in their undressed states swarming him.
And in the middle of it all, he was arching his narrow cock while being thoroughly entangled.
He must have looked incredibly pathetic.
Well, to put it simply, it’s probably something like, “A 40-something boy who uses his youthful appearance to enjoy a lewd scene in the women’s bath and act spoiled.”
Irina was completely at a loss as to what he was thinking, and for a moment, she couldn’t help but think negatively about everything.
…In reality, Irina had never once seen Safur as “someone with an adult mind,” so while he was clever, she saw him just like any other 8-year-old. She hadn’t found it strange at all that he was being brought into the women’s bath.
Rather, it was undeniable that he was a handsome boy whom everyone wanted to dote on, so she couldn’t help but compare herself to the other women and cat girls who were treating him so innocently. She was inwardly terrified of her own perverse desires, but Safur had no idea what was going on.
Both of them, unable to understand each other’s core feelings, had been drawn to each other in a way that was deeply intense. They felt ashamed, despairing, yet they didn’t want to be hated. Safur couldn’t come up with an excuse for his current state, while Irina was at a loss for how to wrap things up after the incident a few days ago.
A long, silent moment passed—no, it was only a moment in their eyes, though it felt like forever.
Finally, Safur, overwhelmed by his emotions, decided that he’d rather act like a man than keep making excuses and stood up decisively.
Then, he approached Irina, feeling the divine beauty of her breasts (from his perspective) and took a deep breath, arching his narrow cock from the depths of his being.
“Rica… I-I love you!!”
He shouted at the top of his lungs, staring at her with tear-filled eyes.
It was Irina who was left in confusion.
There was no context to the situation. Just as she was feeling guilty for wanting to indulge in some naughty play with such a cute boy, he suddenly declared his love.
Right in front of everyone in the women’s bath, he was arching his cock while making such a grand confession.
“I-I mean… I love you!!”
“Wh-what?” Her lower half moved as she asked, her face undoubtedly looking strange.
In response, Safur wore an indescribable look of anxiety. Instinctively, Irina wanted to comfort him, but she couldn’t understand his actions in the first place.
After all, he had just shown up at the hot spring without knowing anything about the situation, so he had no idea what was going on.
If there was any flow to this, surely it must have been set up beforehand, and this sudden action must have been part of it. It wouldn’t be strange for her to speculate that way.
In truth, Safur had reached this point with absolutely no build-up, but Irina, misunderstanding the situation, was waiting for an explanation, so a deep misunderstanding dominated the women’s bath.
”…Rica.”
“Yes… yes?”
“That… um…”
Safur finally realized he wasn’t getting through to her and grew even more confused, desperately searching for help from the side.
He hoped that Maya or Lyra, or maybe Blue Dragon, or perhaps Andy or the Baron, would be there to back him up, but none of them were.
Driven by the intense gazes of everyone in the bath, Safur was consumed by an overwhelming panic.
”…I-I love you!!”
He shouted the same thing again.
Nothing was resolved. Everyone in the bath just agreed that they should calm down and explain properly.
The silence continued, and Safur looked like he was about to cry.
What is this space? What is the right thing for me to do…? he thought, his mind boiling with confusion.
Finally, one of the cat girls timidly stepped in.
”…Um… So, what do you want me to say to the elf lady?”
“That’s… Are you seriously asking me to say that?”
“But she’s in trouble…”
”…Ugh.”
Safu flinched at Rika’s overtly puzzled expression.
Rika wanted to make it clear that she wasn’t happy about this situation, but with Safu’s recent outburst, she was worried he might misunderstand and things could get out of hand. She didn’t know how to phrase it properly.
Seeing the stalemate, the cat girl spoke up again.
”…Why don’t you just say what you want, like ‘I want to marry her’ or ‘I want to mate with her,’ or something clear like that?”
“Ma-mate!?”
Safu was shocked.
Even the ladies couldn’t help but express their disapproval at such a suggestion.
“What kind of thing to say to a little kid like that?”
“Wait, does she even know what ‘mate’ means?”
“It’s too early for this, isn’t it?”
But Rika felt she had to step in. She thought Safu must have been too shy to say what he wanted and ended up being toyed with by the women, and it was true.
However, while elves are generally tolerant of numbers in the double digits, humans and cat beastfolk find those numbers quite significant.
“Whaaaaaaaaaat!?”
After a moment, all their voices erupted in astonishment, making Safu jump in fright.
Then, in a panic, he ran out of the women’s bath, naked, and fled across the field. It was that age—or rather, that mental age—where being called ‘perverted’ was something he couldn’t just brush off. He couldn’t bring himself to stay in the bath and cower under their gazes.
“Lies… Wait, what race is that kid anyway?”
“And there’s that girl Andy has serving him who looks like she’s around 13 or so but claims to be 60.”
“Those kinds of things happen too…”
Still, the ladies didn’t seem to view Safu as a threat who might rape women, so they weren’t scolding him for his impropriety; they were simply surprised. The cats were just as shocked.
The fact that Safu was such a handsome boy—being a dragon and all—probably played a part. After all, ladies tend to be lenient with cute boys, especially those who look more like mischievous kids than anything else.
Watching the scene unfold in the bath, Rika quickly dressed herself and gathered Safu’s clothes before rushing out, saying, “Excuse us for the disturbance,” and chasing after him.
Safu was sitting in a triangle pose in a nearby patch of grass. “S-Safu… kun.” “R-Rika…” ”…Um…” Safu was crying. Thinking about it now, he felt utterly pitiful. He’d been swept into the women’s bath, couldn’t refuse, and ended up being toyed with by them. He’d thought he could salvage things by making a cool confession, but in the end, it had led to nothing and he was left naked, wandering around. “That… Safu-kun…”

”…I… I’m completely… useless… whether as a dragon… or as someone who isn’t a dragon… I’m completely… way too uncool…”
Safir snifled loudly.
Seeing Safir like that, Rika felt her tension ease.
…In the end, Safir was just a child. A very young one.
He tried to act tough and ended up failing, getting hurt, feeling down, and then, in the end, he was still honest.
Rika couldn’t accept his feelings because of her guilt, but even after the prank the other day, she still cared about him.
So, Safir had to be the one to comfort himself. He had to accept himself.
There was no need for any concern about what others would think.
”…Hey, Safir-kun… I know you want to become a real man.”
”…Yeah.”
“I know it’ll take a long time for you to become one… But I also know that even as you’re still a boy… you’ll still be a boy until you become a man.”
”…Y-yeah.”
“I know that even now, when you see a girl naked, your thing gets hard… and that you want to do more than just that after what happened the other day.”
She hugged Safir from behind, his back exposed.
“I also know that you want to… have sex with me.”
“That’s…”
“But having sex wouldn’t make you a real man. That kind of thing alone wouldn’t give you what you really want. You already know that, don’t you?”
”…N-no…”
Safir wavered between Rika’s words.
Becoming a real man would take years, maybe even decades. And it was fine if it took that long. He didn’t have to hold back until then.
Rika loved him too. She still loved him even though he was still a child.
”…Slowly… become a man, Safir-kun. From today until you become an adult… and even after… it’s okay for your thing to feel good inside me.”
She leaned in closer to Safir, then began to take off her clothes.
Her skin, which had been warmed by the steam earlier, revealed more of itself with each piece she removed, and Safir couldn’t help but imagine Rika’s naked body.
Rika didn’t want to tease him this time.
”…R-Rika…”
“I’m sorry, Safir-kun… This might not be for you after all.”
She stripped off everything, pulled away from Safir, and allowed him to turn around.
Completely aroused, Rika bared herself to Safir on the sunset-grass field.
[Translation:]
”…I’m probably… a lot more… perverted than you think, Safur-kun… ♪”
“I-I know… but…”
“So, earlier… while I was imagining what it’d be like for you to keep putting it in me every day for years and years… ♪”
She shuddered, trembling.
“The excitement just won’t stop… ♪”
”…Rica… are you sure…?”
”…Yes, Safur-kun… do it…?”
The little dragon, a young elf girl he had admired, showed off his small penis to her.
It was still thin and not very long, lacking the authority of a man who could please a woman.
But it would grow bigger, bit by bit, inside the girl’s long-lived body. She had declared she would let him.
“S-Safur… I’m really going to do it… I’m really going to…”
”…If you don’t put it in soon, my pussy will dry out, Safur-kun… ♪”
”…Ngh…”
Rica lay beneath Safur, her legs slightly spread as she teased him.
Safur confirmed with her several times, then… thrust his small penis firmly into the center of her smooth labia.
”…Nngh, hah… ♪”
“Safur… it’s not going in as much as I thought…”
“Use more force… keep pushing it in, Safur-kun…!”
”…Is that okay…?”
“It’s my first time… a girl’s hole won’t take something in easily unless someone stretches it open… ♪”
”…Rica…”
“With your penis… it might not go all the way in yet…”
Rica whispered.
“Until it reaches… until you stretch it open all the way, keep putting it in me every day… ♪”
”…Y-yes…!”
Safur nodded and moved his hips.
Building momentum, he pushed his small penis deeper into her moist depths.
Eventually, Safur’s small penis, which had only been partially inserted, was swallowed deeply with a wet sound.
Perhaps because of how small it was, or perhaps because of the intensity of their excitement.
Rica, despite blood seeping from between her legs, had the composure to kiss him and congratulate him.
“After this… you’ll feel good inside me, and when you finish… that’s what sex is… ♪”
“I-I know… but… I might get pregnant…”
[Translator’s Note: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.]
”…It’s fine, Saffle-kun.”
Rica whispered to Saffle with eyes that were hard to tell whether they were kind or lewd.
“Saffle-kun… before you grow up… I’d even be okay with having your child…♪”
“Rica…”
“So, Saffle-kun… let’s make love every day…♪ More passionately than Smison-san…♪”
”…Rica, you…!”
Saffle’s excitement reached its peak, and the boy’s hips, swaying back and forth, soon began to seek pleasure with abandon.
Without even realizing it, the small strokes from the boy’s inexperienced movements began to accelerate, as if they were pummeling the elf girl’s body.
It was still their first time. Saffle, a boy, aside, Rica couldn’t possibly find pleasure so easily.
But the sight of the boy lost in his own arousal was undoubtedly giving her a sense of mental fulfillment.
It felt like… yes, perhaps from the very beginning, this is what was meant to happen when they met.
She’d been holding back until now, almost as if it were wasteful.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction so complete that she could almost be delusional, Rica accepted Saffle’s clumsy thrusts.
The sky was red with sunset.
The summer breeze was cool.
Rica wondered why they couldn’t help but let things happen out in the field and remembered the principle held by some clans that elves should live in the forest rather than indoors.
Perhaps she had such blood in her veins. Blood that made her feel natural about having sex outside, such lewd blood.
…She concluded this to herself and was able to accept it as she looked at Saffle’s desperate face.
They would keep making love from now on. She would nurture this small partner inside her.
Because they were elves and he was a dragon, they could enjoy this pleasure for a long time. This thought made her unbearably happy and comforting.
And then, Saffle spilled his seed into the girl’s womb.
“Ugh… ugh, ahhh…♪”
There was no holding back. They simply indulged in pleasure, unable to resist as they let it out.
But even his pitiful state was endearing.
The bliss of his thick, sticky semen being poured directly into her.
Rica felt the sensation and the passion even in his semen… her shivers reached their peak, and she came completely.
“Mmmnnn…♪”
Passion and love.
The two, still too young to truly understand each other because of their races, were deeply connected in this way, sharing their emotions.
Later. “Cough. …Boy.”
[Safur]: “W-whoa!? You need to put on some clothes!!”
[Safur], who had just run into Aerri again, was embarrassed by his immediate reaction to her overwhelming, nearly naked figure and tried to protest while covering himself.
[Aerri] didn’t seem to care and continued speaking.
[She]: “So… about the place where you all train every day. It’s too close to town, so… sometimes people are watching. How about you train in a slightly more secluded area from now on?”
[Safur]: “W-what do you mean, ‘watching’?”
[Aerri]: “You’d think a dragon would notice, but… it’s those perverted humans and the ogre duo who like to peek.”
[Safur]: “W-wow, that’s bad…”
[Aerri]: “If I casually mention it to them, they’ll switch over here. But… I can’t always rush over like that.”
[Safur]: “Y-you’ve been taking care of me all this time…”
Safur was surprisingly indebted to the perverted lady.
