Gash Zabel is a tailless lizardman who travels with the water spirit.

"It's over... the Spirit Festival's done for..."

In the Helicon inn as dawn broke, Gash muttered while letting the dry northern wind drift in through the window. Below, the town was bustling with commoners cleaning up after the festivities. Celesta's most energetic creatures were always merchants—no one needed to nudge them; already eager to squander their fortunes at the next festival, they'd be hustling from this very moment. Watching human lizards, tailless lizardmen, and fox-beast merchants briskly pass through the town gates with camels and desert lizards in tow, Gash remained frozen for a good while. He wanted to strike up a new topic with the girl behind him but couldn't bring himself to start it. Hesitated. Five minutes went by. Back when he'd served in Celesta's army, Gash—whose sole claim to fame had been his rash valor—had shaken out that courage to speak mere words on more than one occasion. "Fine," he'd said anyway, raising his voice as light as usual.

"What're we gonna do from here, Heeri?"

The water spirit, Heeri Water, had wished for nothing more than "to see the Spirit Festival." Despite being a spirit herself, she couldn't freely attend a festival dedicated to spirits—a grievance that needed resolving. That very task had become Gash's mission after his tail was severed, his pride as a warrior shattered, and his purpose in life lost. Now that it's done... what happens next? Heeri won't simply return to merge with the water currents of this region and drift away somewhere else, will she? Even though they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn't shake that nagging fear.

"You've got time till checkout... might as well sleep a bit longer..."

The one-time-in-a-lifetime pluck he'd summoned was easily brushed aside. He turned; Heeri was squirming inside the blankets like an earthworm.

"Damn it, you're supposed to be a spirit—what kind of deadbeat sleeper are you, huh!"

"Gash wouldn't let me sleep past dawn... right? Fine then, yesterday was already that sort of day... come over here and join me, Gash. You know what? You're an ectotherm but why're you getting up so early anyway..."

"Don't call me an ectotherm—I'm just running a tad low on blood pressure!"

Even as he grumbled, Gash sank slowly back into the bed. Wrapped within the blankets, Heeri—still naked from their intense lovemaking the night before—slipped carelessly into his arms, half-drowsy and utterly unbothered.

"Yuuunf..."

"That's not what I meant... Didn't you say you wanted to see the Spirit Festival when we first met?"

"...Is that right?"

"It was just four or five months ago, wasn't it!?"

"Maybe... nah, I mean, all that hot-and-heavy stuff Gash and I've been up to since then has gotten kinda intense..."

"Look. We've accomplished our goal now, but what're we gonna do about it?"

"...What should we do then... hmm... maybe we should go stay somewhere warm till the next Spirit Festival?"

"Do you still want to see the festival?"

"It was fun, wasn't it?"

Pressing her soft cheek against his chest with a half-asleep demeanor, Heeri murmured.

"...Well, whatever." Gash sighed in relief as he hugged her small head closer. Heeri seemed set on staying with him, having no intention whatsoever of returning to nature. A fool's paradise; he felt cheated and heart-throbbing.

Into that late morning of the two of them waltzed a dark elf, brimming with high energy.

"Hey, both of you—dawn's broken!"

"Knock on the door and come in, dummy! Don't phase through walls!"

"Hmm, you're in a fine mood this morning."

"Get your ass up and pay the bill, you cheap bastards!"

The Light Spirit named Bright Light.

...a beautiful androgynous dark elf to judge by appearance.

If I'm going to be honest about how a Light Spirit should look, I'd insist she's a bit whiter or something... but that might make Heri turn into a Mamian, so I'll hold my tongue. Telling someone like her not to stand around with lizardfolk who don't even have legs is a very specific racial grievance.

"Hey, we paid off yesterday's debt already! Hurry up and check out!"

"Haha, you really are harsh on me now. But I suppose I can go along with it."

"That's because you keep sneaking in whenever the two of us are enjoying each other alone!"

"In my opinion, you two seem to be enjoying your private time constantly?"

Gash and Heri got flustered. Sure, they weren't fucking from morning till night, but when they were just the two of them, their conversation would get sticky enough to make you believe it was honey.

Fully awake now, the pair began to stir.

"Well then? We're gonna cover the room costs, so go on and leave."

"No, no way. I held back yesterday because I couldn't intrude on your lovers' night as a spirit."

Bright grinned.

"I feel like I was plenty of an annoyance anyway."

"There's something I'd like you to do, Gash Zapper."

"...What?"

A debt of gratitude owed, after all. He can't call her stupid outright, so while sliding his arms into his coat sleeves, he turned his face reluctantly toward her.

"Let's have sex."

"...Huh?!"

Both Heri and he let out a startled cry simultaneously.

"No, I've been asked by Heri too yesterday, and you know what, maybe it'd be better to try doing it ourselves rather than just watching someone else do it?"

"D-Did I just... ask Gash?! Catch an elf from around here or something!!"

Heri, still half-naked, clung desperately to Gash as she showed her teeth.

Bright didn't even bother reacting.

"Wouldn't you know, that's up to Gash. I'm not asking you to be my husband. I'm just trying to fulfill a favor owed me by letting her wish come true for once."

"Screw that. You can't feel satisfied after just one time, Gash doesn't have it in him!"

"Hey Heri, she'll get hurt."

"I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, well then, maybe two or three times?"

"...Well... five seems right enough so I can actually think you're evaluating me properly this time."

"You're just making up numbers, stupid spirit."

He lightly bonked the top of Heri's head.

"But if everyone thinks Gash is just bad with women because he's a Nene Spirit, that would be terrible!"

"I appreciate your concern, but I guess you just want to see what happens in that shady woman's mind after all."

"You two are quite amusing."

In the end...

Even after checking out of the inn, Bright followed along.

"If we're heading south from here, it would be either the Rapall Islands or Sheil Island... We could also take a ship to enter the Goet Kingdom and head straight for the Southern Plains."

"Has Gash ever been abroad?"

"Never in a million years. I've been patrolling the inland routes this whole time."

They left the town of Helicon.

To the east lay the Elf Forest Lands, but he knew well enough that it wasn't a place where any military official—or anyone whose background seemed dubious like Heery—would be casually granted passage through by mere army personnel. The only way to traverse the kingdom on foot and head south was via the Forest Land route, though in every sense of the word, those woods were tedious, earning them nothing but avoidance from travelers.

"Then you're headed for Queeca?"

"...Bright, how far are you going to follow me?"

"I'm sticking around until I've had my fill of sex with Gassh."

"So it's not with Gassh then!"

"Well, didn't we agree he'd let her off the hook for five times?"

"...Huh. Was that what was said?"

"Don't get duped. Or rather, don't let him trap you, Heery."

As they walked along the road, Gassh grew increasingly uneasy, wondering just when these two would reach some strange accord.

"By the way, there's no one I can get hard for besides lizard women other than you, Heery."

"Oh?"

"...Gassh ♪"

"Hmm. So, how about this then?"

Taking advantage of the fact that no figures could be seen far down the road, Bright unbuttoned his clothes and bared himself.

His magnificent breasts appeared in the corner of Gassh's wide-field vision, yet Gassh slowly shook his head.

"Not even a twitch."

"...Ugh, this is tough. How can I make it five times with Gassh?"

"Just zip up your shirt already!"

Heery grabbed Bright's clothing and pulled it shut.

"Because it's impossible. I'm genuinely curious too—I've never felt that kind of lust toward a human-type woman."

"And yet you seem to feel it for Heery every night without fail."

"How do you know?"

"Is it really happening every night? You're young, aren't you."

Getting caught on his girth ring, Gassh flicked his tongue side-to-side.

Night fell.

Foot travelers made camp.

While a carriage would surely take them directly to the roadside inn, Gassh, wanting to save coin for future anticipated travel expenses, opted for camping instead.

Along the road, it wasn't an unusual sight. Moreover, this area had undergone anti-bandit raids six months prior, meaning any bandits present would likely be nothing more than amateurs.

Even a handful of malnourished men wielding blades posed no threat to a warrior like Gassh; turning the tide against them would be child's play.

Furthermore, Heery might even surpass Gassh in strength should things go wrong. Water elementals capable of spontaneously generating water and freely manipulating it as weapons—without any special gestures or spellcasting—fell outside the current bounds of magical convention.

"It doesn't bother me much wandering around this vicinity. It's only been February, so it'll warm up soon."

"In that case, let's go further away. With Gassh by my side, I'd have fun going anywhere."

"...that guy."

Before long, he found himself chatting animatedly with Heery in front of the bonfire.

"Where on earth did Bright go?"

"She has belongings... so, probably picking flowers or something similar."

"Won't you let me help carry some now?"

"Help carry?"

"Give me Gash's manhood, I'll go right to it. We can probably get an ejaculation in a hurry, maybe."

"You're changing your words, you know that! So-re!"

Gash whistles his approval despite the comment, seizing the unexpected opportunity.

Sex with Heeri has already become a nightly habit for Gash; he wants to make time whenever there's even a sliver of chance.

Glancing around, he swiftly overpowers Heeri and pins her down.

"Since we're in a rush, I'll just shove my load all at once, alright?"

"You've been ready this whole time!"

"I know exactly when Gash starts getting horny, you see~♪"

The lizard's lips devour the spirit's lips.

Amidst the frenzy, he quickly pulls down her underwear and shoves one hemi-penis inside Heeri in a flash of desperation.

Familiar, yet endlessly addictive pleasure wraps around him.

"Gahhh..."

"Mmm... Gash, you could put both in at the same time, not just that part, shove them into your ass along with it."

"If I shove them in there, cleanup would be a nightmare..."

"This is between us, but once we start, even if Bright tries to interfere, we can just keep going~♪"

"This freak spirit has balls of steel...!"

From the very beginning, he reciprocates inside Heri without holding back, an eager play where neither cares about anything but ejaculation.

There's something thrilling about this approach too.

Heeri, straddling the lizard man, runs her hands around his torso and showers that rough lizard face with kisses while continuing to thrust deep inside her vagina.

And then—

"Hello, I see you've started after all."

As expected, Bright appears at just the right moment.

"W-well, maybe I wanted to say something, but let me hold off till later."

Gash presses down hard on Heeri as if not letting her escape, lifting his hips while gazing up at Bright.

Bright is completely naked; he seems to have been splashing in the river nearby.

Water droplets gliding over a woman's curved, female nude body reflect the moonlight and bonfire, shimmering like gold and silver.

"Well, I didn't really want to say anything. Mind if I get in on this?"

"Oh! Y-you still haven't finished!"

"I mean, actually, that's all I could think of. If she only gets horny for Heeri, then I can only tag along with her company, right?"

"Eh... eee..."

While accepting Gash's arousal below, Heeri grumbles discontentedly.

"If we keep going like this, aren't you just wasting your time by ejaculating uselessly on the ground from one side?"

"Well, that's technically true..."

"Then excuse me."

Pffft, in the moonlight, Bright vanishes.

The very next instant, he slides into a position where his full, voluptuous naked body interlocks with Heeri and Gash, facing each other beneath them.

"I detest how you take advantage of these constant surprise moves!"

"Please, calm down. It'd be a bother for Heeri to withdraw just for me to change positions too, wouldn't it?"

Amidst his mischievous chuckles, the androgynous beauty's smile seems oddly childish; Gash feels more startled by her presence than her naked body itself.

Noticing this sensitivity, Heeri prickles Gash's soft side while he does it.

"Hey, since we're here! Don't get too carried away, Bright. She's not exactly..." "At least call her my girlfriend!" "You think I'm some ordinary girlfriend? I was going to say fiancée." "Fiancée is hardly enough. She's the woman of my destiny." "Then she's the man of my destiny! Got it, Bright!" "...Oh, oh. Just as an afterthought." The two spirits pressed their genitals together tightly, each one coveting the other's phallic protrusion. Gash sighed but went to work on both protrusions with renewed vigor.

(To be continued)

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.

(To be continued)

Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with the spirit of water.

"The Festival of Spirits has ended, hasn't it..."
In Helicon's inn as dawn breaks, Gash mutters while letting in the dry northern wind through the window. Below him, many townspeople are busy cleaning up after the festival.
The liveliest creatures in Celesta are merchants; without being prompted by anyone, they will start their business today to prepare for spending money at the next festival.
While watching human and lizardman merchants, as well as fox beastmen traders bustling around town with camels and desert lizards, Gash remains motionless for a while. He wants to bring up another topic with the girl behind him but can't seem to do it.
After five minutes of hesitation, Gash—once known in Celesta's army for his reckless bravery—shakes himself out of his paralysis and casually asks, "What are you going to do now, Heili?"

The water spirit, Heely Water, wished to see the Spirit Festival. As a spirit, she was unable to freely attend the festival dedicated to spirits, and this dissatisfaction was what Gash had been tasked with resolving after having his tail cut off and his pride as a warrior shattered, leaving him without purpose.

What would happen once it was all over? Would Heely disappear again, merging back into the water of this region?

...Even though he thought they were deeply in love, Gash couldn’t shake that worry.

“Check-out isn’t for another while… I’ll just sleep a bit more…”

The question asked with all his courage was brushed off casually. Turning around, Heely was curled up under her blanket like a caterpillar.

“What’s the deal? You’re such a lazy sleeper for a spirit!”

“It’s Gash’s fault for keeping me awake until dawn… It’s fine though, yesterday was that kind of day… Come over here and sleep with me. What are you getting up so early for anyway?”

“Just because my blood pressure’s a bit low doesn’t mean I’m an ectotherm!” Gash says as he slowly crawls into bed. Inside the blankets, Heely, still naked from their passionate lovemaking last night, half-asleep and carelessly slides her body into his arms.

“Mmmph…”

“I was saying… When we first met you said you wanted to see the Spirit Festival, didn’t you?”

“…Yeah, I guess.”

“It’s only been four or five months ago!?”

“That long…? It feels like Gash has been on a non-stop erotic binge since then…”

“…Anyway. We’ve accomplished our goal, but what do we do now?”

“…I wonder… Well, how about going somewhere warm until the next Spirit Festival…”

"Still want to see the spirit festival?"

"But it was so fun..."

Hilley snuggles up against Gash's chest, half-asleep and presses her soft cheek against him.

"...Well, I guess that’s fine."

Gash is taken aback as he wraps his arms around her small head.

It seems like Hilley has decided to continue spending time with Gash and isn’t even considering returning to nature.

He feels a bit disappointed for having wasted the butterflies in his stomach.

Just then, one high-spirited dark elf barges into their slow morning.

"Hey there, it’s dawn for you two."

"Knock before entering, idiot! Don't just phase through walls!"

“Oh, you’re in a foul mood.”

“Once I woke up, I was treated like shit again!”

The Light Spirit, Bright Light.

…Or rather, the dark elf woman who calls herself that. She’s an androgynous beauty, but if she were really a light spirit, she’d probably be more white. But then Heely would turn into a mermaid too, so I’ll leave it at that. Don’t lump us in with those guys who don’t have legs, that’s something lizardmen say.

“I paid you back for yesterday! Get out of here and check out!”

“Hahaha, you’re treating me pretty badly. But I’m fine with it.”

“It’s because you keep barging in on us when we’re alone!”

“If I may say so, aren’t the two of you always having fun together?”

Gash and Heely both froze up at that. While they weren’t screwing all day long, their conversations did tend to get a bit honey-sweet when it was just the two of them.

They woke up completely refreshed and decided to get out of bed.

“Alright, what is it? If you need money for the room, we’ll pay. You can go ahead.”

“No no, I was hesitant because yesterday I couldn’t interfere as a spirit during lovers’ night.”

Bright smiled sweetly.

“I felt like I interfered enough.”

“There’s something I want from you, Gash Zapper.”

“…What is it?”

Gash turned to face him, reluctantly putting on his jacket. After all, he owed Bright one.

“Let’s have sex.”

‘…Huh?’

I let out a wild cry at the same time as Heili.

“No, yesterday Heili told me that too. Indeed, it’s better to try it yourself than just watch others do it.”

“W-Why is it Gash?! Just go and pick up some random elf over there!”

Heili still half-naked clung onto Gash with her teeth bared.

Bright was unfazed.

“That’s for Gash to decide, isn’t it? I’m not asking him to become my husband. It’s just that I want to fulfill the wish of a benefactor who wants to try sex once.”

“Oh, how unfortunate, one time won’t be enough! Gash is all about momentum!”

“Hey Heili, you’re hurting me.”

“I’m sorry.”

“Hahaha, then let’s do it two or three times.”

"Y-You know, I don’t think we can properly evaluate Gash unless we do it five times."

"You’re an idiot for increasing the number yourself,"

I ruffled Heely’s hair.

"B-Because if Nene thinks that Gash is just bad at being a spirit, then that would be terrible!!"

"I appreciate your concern, but this suspicious woman will have her way!"

"Interesting, you two."

In the end,

Bright followed us even after we checked out of the inn.

"If we’re going south, it’s either the Lapar Islands or Sheer Island… We could also take a boat to Goath Kingdom and head into Southern Great Plains."

"Gash, have you ever been to another country?"

“Of course not, I’ve been with the inland patrol all this time.”

We leave Helicon town.

To the east lies the Elven forest domain. It’s well known that even soldiers wouldn’t be able to get a suspicious-looking Heili through there easily. The only way to cross the country on foot and head south was through the forest domain, but it was avoided by travelers for various reasons.

“Are you going to Quica then?”

“...Bright, how long are you coming with me?”

“As long as I’m screwing Gash.”

“That’s not what I meant! Not just Gash!”

“I thought we agreed on five times?”

“...Was that the deal?”

“Don’t get conned. Or rather, don’t let yourself be railroaded, Heili.”

Gash was uneasy, wondering when he would reach some weird agreement.

“Anyway, I only get hard for healers and lizard women.”

“Oh?”

“…Gash♪”

“Hmm. How about this then?”

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people around on the road, Bright opened his shirt to reveal his impressive breasts. They appeared in Gash’s peripheral vision, but he shook his head slowly.

“No reaction at all.”

“…Mm, I’ve hit a difficult problem here. How can I get five rounds with Gash?”

“You should put your chest away!”

Heely tugged on Bright's clothes to close them.

"See, I can't. Even I'm surprised, you know? I've never felt this way about a human girl before."

"But yet you feel it every night for Heely," she countered.

"How do you know?"

"Do you really do it every night? You're young."

Gash's tongue flicked out at the baiting.

Nighttime.
The traveling party set up camp.
If they had taken the carriage, they would have reached an inn by now. But Gash wanted to save money for the expected expenses ahead and chose to camp instead.
It wasn't a rare sight along the road. This area was also where half a year ago a bandit hunt took place, so even if there were any remaining bandits, they'd be inexperienced ones.

A starving man with a knife would be no match for Gash, who was such an experienced warrior. Besides, Heely might even be stronger than Gash. She could summon water without any special movements or incantations and wield it as a weapon, which was beyond the current magical norms.

"I think just hanging around here is fine too. It's been cold since February, but it'll get warm soon."

"Let's go somewhere far away instead. I have fun wherever we go with Gash."

"...This girl."

He couldn't help flirting with Heely in front of the campfire.

"Bright, where did he go?"

"He has luggage... so maybe he went flower picking or something."

"Do you want me to put it in for now?"

"Put what in?"

“Gash’s dick, to me. If you hurry up, I think you can cum at least once.”

“You’re saying that weirdly.”

Saying so, Gash lets out a throaty moan at the unexpected opportunity.

Having sex with Heely has already become his nightly habit. He wants to take advantage of any chance he gets.

Looking around quickly, Gash pushes Heely down.

“Hurry up and put it in.”

“You’re always ready for this.”

“Besides, I can tell when you get horny~”

The lizard’s lips devour the spirit’s lips.

In between, he swiftly pulls off her underwear and thrusts one of his hemipenes into Heely with urgency.

The familiar yet addictive pleasure enveloped Gash.

“Kuh…”

“Mm… Gash, you could just as well put it in both at the same time—her ass too.”

“That would be a real mess if I did that…”

“In confidence, once we start, even Bright interrupting wouldn’t stop us…”

“This perverted spirit has some guts…”

He started thrusting into Heili’s insides from the very beginning. This was an intense play focused solely on mutual ejaculation.

Even this alone was incredibly arousing.

Heili wrapped her arms around the lizardman above her, kissing his rugged toad face while continuously offering him access to her vagina.

And then...

“Hey, I see you’ve started already.”

Bright appeared at the predicted moment.

“I-I might have something to say but not now.”

Gash held Heili down as if trying to prevent her from escaping, and looked up at Bright while thrusting his hips.

Bright was completely naked. It seemed he had been bathing in a nearby river. The water droplets sliding over his curvaceous, feminine body reflected the moonlight and firelight, shining gold and silver.

“No, I don’t have anything to say. Can I join you?”

“You-you still want this!?”

“Actually, that’s all I can think of right now. If I only desire Heili, then there’s no choice but to be with her.”

“Eh...”

While accepting Gash’s arousal, Heili raised a dissatisfied voice.

“Anyway, this way it’ll just be wasted on the ground.”

“Well… that’s true…”

“Then excuse me.”

Bright vanished with a puff in the moonlight.

The next moment, his full, naked body slid into place between Gash and Heili, facing them both.

“You always take advantage of your sudden movements!”

“Oh come now. It would be troublesome to keep pulling out from you and making room for me.”

She smiled mischievously, her childlike expression somehow more disarming than her nude form, causing Gash’s sides to twitch as Heili pinched them in response.

“…I’m just doing this as a favor, okay!? Don’t get too excited, Bright. This is my… uh, what do you call it?”

“…At least call me your boyfriend.”

“You think I’m just some girlfriend to you? I thought you’d say wife or something.”

“A wife? Hardly. You’re the woman of my destiny.”

“Well then, that makes me the man of yours! Got it, Bright!?”

“…Sure, sure. Just a favor for ya.”

The two spirits pressed their crotches together, each wanting the lizard’s penis.

Gash sighed but still made both penises hard.

(To be continued)

Gash Zapper is a tailless Lizardman who travels alongside a water spirit.

"The Spirit Festival is all over, huh..."

Gash muttered in a Helicon inn at dawn, as a dry northern wind drifted through the window.

Below, in the town, many townspeople were busy cleaning up after the festival.

The most energetic creatures in Celesta were undoubtedly the merchants. Without needing any prompting, they would likely begin their industrious trading again starting today, all to save up for the next festival.

Gash remained motionless for a while, watching the humans, Lizardmen, and Foxfolk merchants pass through the town gates, busily leading their camels and desert lizards.

He wanted to bring up a new topic with the girl behind him, but he found himself unable to do so.

Five minutes of hesitation.

Back when he served in the Celesta Army, Gash was known as the bravest in his unit, though he lacked any semblance of tact. After summoning his courage time and time again, he finally let out a light, casual voice, as if to say, "Here goes nothing."

"What are we going to do now, Heely?"

The water spirit, Heely Water, had expressed one wish: "I want you to show me the Spirit Festival."

For a spirit, she felt the injustice of being unable to freely witness the very festival dedicated to her kind. Resolving that grievance was the mission assigned to Gash—a man whose tail had been severed, whose pride as a warrior had been shattered, and who had lost his purpose in life.

What would happen once this was over?

Would Heely merge with the water currents of this region once again and drift away to somewhere else?

...Even though he believed they loved each other deeply, Gash simply could not shake that anxiety.

"We have time until check-out... I'm gonna sleep a little more..."

His question, delivered with the greatest courage of his life, was effortlessly brushed aside.

When he turned around, Heely was huddled under the blanket, curled up like a little caterpillar.

"Hey! Why are you such a sleepyhead when you're a spirit!?"

"It's because you didn't let me sleep until dawn, Gash... It's fine, yesterday was just one of those days... Come here and sleep too. Why are you waking up so early when you's a cold-blooded creature...?"

"I'm not cold-blooded, my blood pressure is just a little low!"

Despite his protest, Gash lumbered into the bed.

Under the blankets, Heely—still naked from their intense passion the night before—half-asleep, carelessly slid her body into the crook of Gash's arm.

"Nyuu...fu..."

"Look, what I'm saying is... you said when we first met that you wanted to see the Spirit Festival."

"...Did I?"

"That was only four or five months ago!?"

"Was it...? It's just that since then, Gash's constant lewdness has been... too intense..."

"...Anyway. We achieved the goal, but I'm asking you, what are we going to do?"

"...What should we do... Hmm, I want to go somewhere warm until the next Spirit Festival..."

"You still want to see the festival?"

"But it was so much fun..."

Pressing her soft cheek against his chest, Heely nuzzled him, sounding as if she were half-asleep.

"...Well, alright then."

Gash felt a sense of anticlimax as he pulled her small head into an embrace.

It seemed Heely had already decided to keep spending her time with Gash; she didn't seem to have the slightest intention of returning to the natural world.

He felt like all that nervousness had been for nothing.

Into their late morning, a single Dark Elf burst in with high energy.

"Well now, the sun is up, you two!"

"Knock and use the door, you idiot! Don't just phase through the walls!"

"Oh my, someone's in a terrible mood."

"I woke up right in the middle of a dream, dammit!"

Bright Light, the Spirit of Light.

...Or so she called herself. At first glance, she appeared to be an androgynous beauty of the dark elf variety.

Normally, I’d want to complain that a Spirit of Light should have a much whiter, brighter image, but if I did that, Heely would end up being lumped in with the Merman race, so I'll let it slide. Comparing them to a group that doesn't even have fins is a uniquely Lizardman grievance.

"Besides, I already paid back yesterday's debt! Just check out already!"

"Hahaha, you's treating me quite harshly. Well, I don't mind, though."

"It's because you keep barging in whenever we're enjoying some alone time!"

"From what I can see, you two are enjoying your alone time twenty-four seven, aren't you?"

Gash and Heely both choked up. It’s not like they were having sex from morning until night, but it couldn't be denied that their conversation turned honey-sweet whenever they were alone.

With their sleepiness now completely gone, the two of them got out of bed.

"So, what is it? If it's the lodging fee, we'll cover it, so you can go."

"No, no. Yesterday, as a spirit, I refrained because I didn't want to disturb a lover's night."

Bright smiled brightly.

"I feel like you disturbed us plenty."

"I have a favor to ask, Gash Zapper."

"...What?"

She was, for better or worse, our benefactor. Unable to call her an idiot, Gash turned toward her reluctantly as he pulled on his jacket.

"Let's have sex."

"...Huh?"

I let out a bewildered cry at the same time as Heely.

"No, I mean, Heely told me the same thing yesterday, and it's certainly true—rather than just watching others do it, I thought it might be better to try it myself."

"Wh-Why Gash?! Go find some random elf or something!!"

Still half-naked, Heely clung to Gash, baring her teeth.

Bright remained unbothered.

"That is for Gash to decide, isn't it? It's not as if I'm asking him to become my husband. I am simply offering to grant the wish of my benefactor, who wants to try sex once."

"Too bad for you! Just once won't feel good, because Gash is all about momentum!"

"Hey, Heely, that hurts."

"Sorry."

"Hahaha, well then, how about two or three times?"

"Ugh... no, then I won't be able to judge Gash fairly, so... how about five times?"

"Why are you increasing the number yourself, you idiot spirit?"

I stared blankly at Heely.

"B-Because! I'd hate for the Sleep Spirit to think that Gash is just bad at it!!"

"I appreciate the concern, but you're just falling right into this shady woman's trap!"

"You two are entertaining."

In the end.

Even after we checked out of the inn, Bright followed us.

"If we're heading south from here, it's either the Lapal Islands or Shale Island... or we could take a ship to the Goat Kingdom and head for the Southern Great Plains."

"Gash, have you ever been to a foreign country?"

"There's no way. I was stationed with the inland patrol until now."

We left the town of Helicon.

To the east lies the Elven Forest Territory, but I knew well enough that it wasn't the kind of place that would easily let someone like Heely through—someone with no military affiliation and a suspicious identity. The only way to cross the country on foot and head south was via the Forest Territory route, but travelers tended to avoid it because it was a hassle in so many different ways.

"In that case, are you heading to Quika?"

"...Bright, just how far are you following us?"

"Until you's finished having sex with Gash, obviously."

"I told you, it's not about Gash!"

"Didn't you say you'd permit up to five times?"

"...Wait, did I say that?"

"Don't let him trick you. Actually, don't let him manipulate you, Heely."

Walking along the highway, Gash felt a constant sense of dread, wondering when they might reach some bizarre consensus.

"Besides, I can't get hard for anyone but Heely except for lizard women."

"Oh my."

"...Gash♪"

"Hmm. In that case, how about this?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there wasn't a soul in sight far down the road, Bright pulled her clothes open to show him.

Gash's wide peripheral vision caught a glimpse of her magnificent breasts, but he slowly shook his head.

"Not even a twitch."

"...Muu, we've run into a difficult problem. How can I manage to have sex with Gash five times?"

"Just cover yourself up!"

Heely pulled on Bright's clothes to close them.

"I'm telling you, it's impossible. It's a mystery to me too, since I've never felt lust for a human-type woman before."

"And yet, you say you lust after Heely almost every night."

"How do you know that?"

"Do you really do it every night? You're quite the young man."

Having fallen for the trap, Gash nervously flicked his tongue.

---

Night.

Travelers on foot set up camp.

If we had a carriage, we could certainly make it to a post town, but Gash chose to camp because he wanted to save the money meant for an inn to prepare for the anticipated travel expenses ahead.

It wasn't a rare sight along the highway, and since this area had been the site of a bandit hunt six months ago, any bandits present would likely be nothing more than amateurs.

If it was just some desperate person with a blade, a warrior of Gash's caliber could repel them without much effort.

Besides, Heely was potentially even stronger than Gash. A water spirit that could create and manipulate water as a weapon freely, without any particular movement or incantation, was outside the scope of current magical common sense.

"I think just wandering around this area would be fine. It's only cold for about two months before it gets warm again."

"Let's go somewhere far away since we have the chance. Anywhere is fun as long as I'm with you, Gash."

"...This girl."

Before I knew it, I was getting all flirtatious with Heely in front of the campfire.

"I wonder where Bright went."

"The luggage... is... here, so she's probably just picking flowers or something."

"Should we sneak something in while we have the chance?"

"Sneak what in?!"

"Give me your cock, Gash. If we hurry, we can probably get at least one ejaculation out of it."

"Your phrasing is really weird, you know that?"

While exchanging such words, Gash's throat tightened with anticipation at this unexpected opportunity.

Sex with Heely had already become a nightly routine for Gash. He wanted to make the most of even the slightest chance.

Glancing around, Gash quickly pinned Heely down.

"Since we's in a hurry, you can just slide it all in at once."

"You're always ready to go, aren't you?"

"I can usually tell whenever you're about to get horny♪"

The lizard's lips and the spirit's lips devoured each other.

In the midst of the kiss, Gash swiftly pulled down her underwear and, with a sense of urgency, pushed one side of his hemipenis into Heely.

The sensation was familiar, yet the addictive pleasure enveloped Gash.

"Ngh..."

"Mm... Gash, you don't have to just do that side; you could put both in, along with your butt, all at once."

"If I put it in your ass, cleaning up would be a nightmare..."

"Just between us, once you start, you should just keep going even if Bright interrupts...♪"

"You've got some nerve, you perverted spirit..."

He began thrusting back and forth through Heely's insides at full force from the start. It was a frantic bout where their only goal from the beginning was ejaculation.

In its own way, it was incredibly heated.

Heely wrapped her arms around the lizardman looming over her, showering his rugged, reptilian face with kisses while continuing to offer herself up.

And then.

"Well, I see you've started after all."

As expected, Bright appeared at that exact moment.

"I... I might have something to say to you, but later, okay?"

Gash looked up at Bright while continuing to thrust his hips, pinning Heely down as if to prevent her from escaping.

Bright was completely naked. It seemed they had been bathing in a nearby river.

Water droplets sliding down a curvaceous, feminine naked body reflected the moonlight and the campfire, shimmering like gold and silver.

"No, I have nothing to say. But do you mind if I join you?"

"Y-You, already!?"

"Well, honestly, this was the only idea I could come up with. If you only get horny for Heely, then I have no choice but to join her pleasure."

"Eeeeh..."

While her lower body continued to accept Gash's lust, Heely let out a dissatisfied whine.

"At this rate, you'll just end up wasting half of it on the ground anyway, won't you?"

"W-Well, that's true, but..."

"Then, if you'll excuse me."

With a soft flicker, Bright vanished in the moonlight.

In the next instant, Bright slid their voluptuous naked body underneath Gash, positioning themselves as if embracing Heely face-to-face.

"Stop abusing that sudden teleportation every single time!"

"Now, now. It would be a hassle to pull out of Heely every time just to make room for me, wouldn't it?"

The androgynous beauty's giggle was strangely childish, and it made Gash's heart skip a beat more than the naked body itself.

Sensing his reaction, Heely reached out and pinched Gash's soft flank.

"...I-It's only because it's convenient, okay?! And don't get too cocky, Bright. He's my... uh, what should I call him?"

"...I'd at least like you to call him my boyfriend."

"You really think so little of me, don't you? I thought you were going to say 'husband' or something."

"Husband? That's not enough. He's my woman of destiny."

"Th-then, since you're my man of destiny! Fine, I get it, Bright!?"

"...Yes, yes. 'Convenient' is perfectly fine by me."

The two spirits pressed their crotches tightly together, each desiring the lizard's impressive members.
With a heavy sigh, Gash let both of his great lengths grow erect.

(To be continued)

Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with a water spirit.

"Looks like the Spirit Festival's over…"
Gash muttered in the Helicon inn as dawn broke, letting the dry northern wind rush in through the window. Below, townsfolk were busy cleaning up after the festivities. In Celesta, the most energetic creatures are merchants. Without prompting, they’d already be hard at work today, preparing to squander their earnings at the next festival.

Gash watched as human, lizardman, and foxkin merchants bustled past the town gates, leading camels and desert lizards. He remained still for a while, wanting to bring up the next topic with the girl behind him but unable to find the words. After hesitating for five minutes…

Once part of the Celesta army, Gash was known for his reckless bravery. Now, he shook himself repeatedly, mustering the courage to speak, and finally raised his voice as usual.
"So, what now, Heeery?"

The water spirit, Heeery Water, had only asked to see the Spirit Festival. A spirit unable to freely attend a festival dedicated to spirits—this frustration was what Gash, stripped of his tail and pride as a warrior, had been tasked with resolving.

What happens when this is over?
Would Heeery merge back into the waterways of this region and disappear somewhere else?

…Even though he knew they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn’t shake the anxiety.

"We still have time before checkout… I wanna sleep a little longer…"
His monumental question was brushed aside with ease.

Turning around, he found Heeery wriggling like a caterpillar inside the blanket.

"Seriously? You’re a spirit and you’re such a sleepyhead!"

"You didn’t let me sleep until dawn, Gash…? It’s fine, yesterday was just that kind of day… Come here and sleep with me. What’s with you warm-blooded creatures getting up so early…"

"I’m not some cold-blooded thing! I just have low blood pressure!"

Even as he said that, Gash slowly crawled into bed. Inside the blanket, Heeery—still naked from their passionate lovemaking yesterday—half-asleep, casually slid into his arms.

"Nyu…fuu…"

"I’m saying… you told me when we first met that you wanted to see the Spirit Festival."

"…Did I?"

"That was only four or five months ago!"

"Was it…? Something about Gash’s non-stop eroticism since then has been kinda overwhelming…"

"…Anyway. The goal’s achieved, so what now?"

"…I dunno… How about we just stay warm together until the next Spirit Festival?"

"You still wanna see another one?"

"But it was fun…"

Heeery pressed her soft cheek against Gash’s chest, half-asleep as ever.
"…Fine."

Gash couldn’t help but feel a little deflated as he hugged her small head close.

Heeley had apparently made up her mind to spend time with Gash and had no intention of returning to the natural world.

She felt cheated, all that anticipation for nothing.

Then, cutting into their late morning like a buzzsaw, came a dark elf—Bright Light, as she introduced herself.

"Hey, looks like night's over for you two."

"Knock and come in through the door, you idiot! Don't phase right through walls!"

"Oh, you're awfully grumpy this morning."

"I'm only grumpy because I just woke up, you jerk!"

Bright Light—or so she claimed—was a gender-neutral beauty of dark elf descent.

If she were truly a light spirit, she’d probably have a whiter vibe… but pointing that out might turn Heeley into some kind of mermaid, and the lizardfolk would never stand for that.

"Didn't you pay back yesterday’s debt? Just check out already!"

"Hahaha, that's awfully harsh. But whatever."

"It's because you keep barging in on us two enjoying ourselves!"

"From where I’m standing, you two are constantly indulging in private fun, aren’t you?"

Gash and Heeley glared at her. Not like they were having sex from dawn till dusk, but it was undeniable that their conversations turned sugary sweet when they were alone.

Now fully awake, the two decided to get up.

"So? What is it? We can cover the lodging fee if you want to leave."

"Nah, I refrained yesterday because I couldn’t interfere with your lovers’ night as a spirit."

Bright grinned.

"I thought we were already interfering enough."

"I have a favor to ask, Gash Zapper."

"...What is it?"

She was technically their benefactor, so Gash couldn’t exactly call her an idiot and turned his face toward her while slipping on his jacket.
"I want to have sex with you."

"…Huh?"

Heeley and Gash both let out a stunned cry at the same time.

"Well, Heeley told me yesterday too, but yeah, I figured it’d be better to try it myself than just watch someone else do it."

"W-Why Gash?! Just pick up some random elf off the street!"

Heeley clung to Gash in her half-naked state, baring her teeth.

Bright simply waved it off.

"That’s for Gash to decide, isn’t it? I’m not asking you to marry me or anything. I just want to grant a benefactor’s wish to try sex once."

"Sorry, but once isn’t enough—you’re all about the rush, Gash!"

"Hey, Heeley, that’ll hurt."

"Sorry."

"Hahaha, then how about two or three times?"

"Ugh… well, I don’t think I can properly evaluate Gash if it’s just five times, so maybe five."

"You’re increasing the number yourself, you idiot spirit?"

He slaps Heili’s head.

"B-but if the sleepover spirit thinks Gash is just bad at this, it’ll be no good!!"

"I appreciate your concern, but you’re playing right into her hands!"

"You two are hilarious."

In the end…

Bright followed even after checking out of the inn.

"If we’re going south, there’s either the Lapal Islands or Shere Island… or we could take a ship to the Goat Kingdom and then head to the Southern Great Plains."

"Gash, have you ever been to a foreign country?"

"Of course not! I’ve been in the inland patrol squad this whole time!"

They left the town of Helicon.

To the east lies the Elven Forest Territory, but he knows it’s not a place that would easily let through someone like Heili, who isn’t a soldier and whose background is questionable. If they were to walk through the country to head south, the forest territory route would be the only option, but travelers avoided it for various reasons—it was too much of a hassle.

"So, are we going to Quieca?"

"...Bright, how far are you following me?"

"Until I’ve had sex with Gash."

"I said not with Gash!"

"Weren’t you saying you’d allow it up to five times?"

"...Oh, right?"

"Don’t get fooled. Or rather, don’t get talked into it, Heili."

Gash couldn’t help but feel uneasy as he walked along the road, wondering when they’d come to some weird agreement.

"Look, I can only get hard for Heili or lizard women."

"Oh?"

"...Gash~"

"Hmm. Then how about this?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people in sight far down the road, Bright pulls open his clothes.

His magnificent breasts appear in the corner of Gash’s wide-angle vision, but Gash slowly shakes his head.

"Not even a twitch."

"...Muuu, we’ve hit a difficult problem. How can I have sex with Gash five times?"

"Just put your chest away!"

Heili pulls Bright’s clothes closed.

"That’s why it’s impossible! It’s weird for me too—I’ve never even been aroused by a human-type woman before."

"Yet you’re constantly aroused by Heili."

"How do you know that?"

"Are you really doing it every night? You’re so young."

Gashed had walked right into the trap, his tongue lapping at the bait.

Night.
The foot traveler camps.
If he took a carriage, he’d surely reach an inn, but Gash wanted to save money for the anticipated travel expenses ahead, so he chose to camp instead.
It wasn’t an unusual sight along the highway, and this area had been the site of a bandit purge half a year ago—any remaining thieves would be amateurs at best.
A starving beggar with a blade was no match for a warrior like Gash; he could take them down without breaking a sweat.
Besides, Heili might even be stronger than him. Without any special gestures or incantations, she conjured water and wielded the water spirit as a weapon—something beyond current magical norms.

"Staying around here’s fine too, you know. It’ll get warmer soon, probably in February."

"Why don’t we go somewhere far? Anywhere with you is fun, Gash."

"...This one."

He couldn’t help but flirt with Heili by the campfire.

"Bright, where’d he run off to?"

"His luggage… yeah, probably out picking flowers or something."

"Should we sneak in a round before he gets back?"

"Sneak in what?"

"Gash’s dick. Yours. Hurry, and you might get one shot in, maybe."

"You’re weirding me out with that phrasing."

As she said that, Gash’s throat bobbed with sudden interest.

Sex with Heili had already become a nightly routine for him. He wanted to take every chance he got.

He glanced around and quickly pushed Heili down.

"Hurry, I’ll just shove it in all at once."

"You’re always ready, aren’t you?"

"I can tell when you’re about to get randy! ♪"

The lizard’s lips and the spirit’s lips devoured each other.

In between, he swiftly pulled down her underwear and shoved one of his hemipenes into Heili in a rush.

A familiar, yet addictive pleasure enveloped Gash.

"Ugh…"

"Mmm… Gash, you could put both in at once, not just this one, and in my ass too."

"If I put it in your ass, cleanup would be hell…"

"Just between us, if we start, we can keep going even if Bright gets in the way… ♪"

"This perverted spirit’s got guts…"

He drove back and forth inside Heili from the start, both aiming only for orgasm—fast, frantic play.
It was intensely satisfying in its own way.
Heili wrapped her arms around the lizardman above her, showering his scaly face with kisses while presenting her vagina.
And then…

"Hey, so you finally started."

Bright appeared at exactly the moment Gash expected.

"N-no, I might have something to say, but later."

Gash held Heili close as if trying to keep her from escaping, thrusting his hips upward while looking up at Bright.

Bright was completely naked. He must have been taking a bath in the nearby river.

Water droplets slid down his curvaceous, feminine body, reflecting the moonlight and bonfire flames in shimmering gold and silver.

"Nah, nothing to say, really. But can I join in?"

"Y-you, still!?"

"Well, it's the only thing that came to mind. If I only get turned on by Heili, then I have no choice but to partake in her company, right?"

"Eh, eh—?"

Heili groaned in dissatisfaction as Gash’s lust filled her lower body.

"Otherwise, you're just gonna waste it all on the ground from one side, right?"

"T-that's true, but—"

"Well then, excuse me."

Fwoosh. Bright vanished in the moonlight.

The next moment, his ample naked form slid into position between Gash and Heili, facing them as if embracing.

"You're abusing that teleportation move way too much!"

"Oh, come on. It'd be a pain to pull out of Heili every time, right?"

The androgynous beauty’s chuckle was strangely childish, making Gash’s heart skip a beat even more than her naked form did.

Heili, acutely aware of it, pinched Gash’s soft side.

"…T-this is just a bonus, okay!? Bright, don’t get too cocky—this one’s my… uh, what do you call it?"

"…At least call me your boyfriend."

"You think I’m just your girlfriend? I thought you’d say ‘wife’ or something."

"Wife? No, she’s my destiny’s woman."

"T-then that makes me your destiny’s man! Got it, Bright!?"

"…Yeah, yeah. Just a bonus."

The two spirits pressed their crotches together, each desiring the other’s member like lizards craving prey.

Gash sighed but still stoked both shafts into full arousal.

(To be continued)

Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with the Water Spirit.

"The Spirit Festival's already over, huh..."

At dawn in the Helicon inn, Gash murmured while letting the dry northern wind drift through the window.

Below him, the town was bustling as common folk began cleaning up after the festivities.

In Celesta, the most energetic creatures are undoubtedly the merchants. Without being prompted by anyone else, they're already hard at work preparing for the next festival, eager to spend their earnings tomorrow.

Watching human, lizardman, and fox-beast traders hurriedly pass the town exit with their camels and desert lizards in tow, Gash remained motionless for a while.

He wanted to bring up the next topic with the girl behind him, but he couldn't quite find the words.

Hesitating for five minutes...

Back when he served in the Celesta army, Gash was known as the one with the most reckless courage in the unit. He'd summoned that same bravery countless times, shaking himself up to speak just a single word, then casually letting out his usual light voice.

"What are we going to do now, Heely?"

The Water Spirit, Heely Water, had wished only to "see the Spirit Festival."

Even though she was a spirit, she couldn't freely attend the festival dedicated to spirits—a grievance that needed resolving. That mission had been assigned to Gash, whose tail had been severed, whose pride as a warrior shattered, and who had lost his purpose in living.

Once this is over, what happens?

Won't Heely simply merge with the water currents of this region again and disappear somewhere else?

...Even though he knew they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn't shake that unease.

"There's still time before checkout... let me sleep a bit longer..."

The question born of his once-in-a-lifetime courage was easily brushed aside.

Turning around, he found Heely wriggling like a caterpillar inside her blanket.

"Hey, you're a spirit, so why are you such a sleepyhead!"

"Because Gash wouldn't let me sleep until dawn...? Come on, yesterday was already a special day... Why don't you come over here and sleep too? You're an ectotherm, yet you're acting like you need to wake up early..."

"Just because my blood pressure is low doesn't make me an ectotherm!"

Even as he muttered that, Gash slowly sank back into the bed.

Inside the blanket, Heely—still naked from their passionate night together—slid carelessly into his arms, half-asleep.

"Nyu-foo..."

"That's what I'm saying... didn't you say you wanted to see the Spirit Festival when we first met?"

"...Did I?"

"It was only four or five months ago!?"

"Right... but somehow all that erotic stuff Gash did since then was just too intense..."

"...Anyway. We've achieved our goal, so what are we going to do?"

"...What should we do...? Then again, I'd love to go somewhere warm until the next Spirit Festival..."

"You still want to see the Spirit Festival?"

"Because it was fun, wasn't it..."

Pressing herself against Gash's chest with a drowsy demeanor, Heely nuzzled her soft cheek against him.

"...Well, fine then."

Gash sighed in relief and hugged her small head tightly.

Heery had already decided to spend the rest of her time with Gash, showing no sign whatsoever of considering a return to nature.
I feel like I've lost out; my heart is pounding.

Just as these two were enjoying their leisurely morning, a dark elf burst in with high spirits.

"Hey there, you two! The night has finally ended!"

"Knock on the door and come in properly, you idiot! Don't just phase through the walls!"

"Oh my, what a sour mood."

"I told you to get up already, you jerk!"

The Light Spirit, Bright Light... that's who she claimed to be. A beautiful androgynous dark elf by appearance.

Normally, if someone were a light spirit, I'd expect them to look more white-ish... but I'll hold my tongue, because pointing that out might make Heery turn into a mammoth too. That kind of "don't associate with lizardmen who don't even have legs" attitude is very much in the lizardman's nature.

"In any case, you've already paid back what you owed from yesterday! Check out and get lost!"

"Hahaha, quite the harsh treatment. But I don't mind."

"You keep barging into our private moments every time!"

"As far as I can tell, you two are enjoying your alone-time non-stop, aren't you?"

Gash and Heery fell silent, their expressions tightening. They weren't having sex from morning till night, but it couldn't be denied that whenever they were alone together, their conversations took on a honeyed tone.

Now fully awake, the two got out of bed.

"So what is it? We'll pay for the lodging, so go ahead and leave."

"No, no—I hesitated because yesterday I couldn't disturb you lovers as a spirit."

Bright smiled warmly.

"I feel like I was plenty of a nuisance already."

"I have a request, Gash Zapper."

"...What?"

He was technically a benefactor. He couldn't be called an idiot outright, so Gash reluctantly turned his face toward her while slipping his arms into the sleeves of his jacket.

"Let's have sex."

"...Huh?!"

Both Heery and Gash let out startled cries simultaneously.

"No, I mentioned this to Heery yesterday too, but you're right—it might be better to try it myself rather than just watching others do it."

"W-wait, why Gash?! Just grab any random elf around here instead!!"

Still half-naked, Heery clung to Gash, baring her teeth.

Bright blew in the wind like a carefree breeze.

"That's up to Gash to decide, isn't it? I'm not saying you have to become my husband or anything. I just want to fulfill this benefactor's wish by letting him try sex once."

"Oh dear, one time won't feel good enough! Gash is all about momentum!"

"Hey, Heery, don't get hurt."

"I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, then let's aim for two or three times."

"U-um... if that's the case, I don't think Gash has been properly evaluated yet. Maybe five times?"

"What are you planning to do by increasing it yourself, you idiotic spirit?"

Heely's head popped up in surprise.

"But, but! If Nenene's spirit thinks Gash is just bad at it, that would be terrible!!"

"I appreciate your concern, but this suspicious woman has fallen right into my trap!"

"How amusing, the two of you."

In the end...

Even after checking out of the inn, Bright followed them.

"If we head south from here, should we go to the Raapal Islands or Sheer Island? ...There's also the option of taking a ship to enter the Goht Kingdom and heading to the Southern Great Plains."

"Gash, have you ever been abroad?"

"No way! I've only been with the inland patrol unit until now."

They left the town of Helicon.

To the east lay the Elf Forest Territory, but it wasn't a place where someone like Heely—a soldier by no means and with questionable background—could easily pass through without trouble. While walking across the country to head south was only possible via the forest route, the forest territory was generally avoided by travelers for various reasons.

"So, are you going to Queeca then?"

"...Bright, how far will you follow us?"

"Well, until I'm done having sex with Gash."

"That's why it doesn't matter if it's not Gash!"

"Didn't we agree on five times?"

"...Oh, did we?"

"Don't get fooled. Or rather, don't let yourself be manipulated, Heely."

As they walked along the road, Gash grew increasingly uneasy, wondering when things would turn into some strange agreement.

"By the way, I can only get an erection from lizard women besides Heely!"

"Oh?"

"...Gash♪"

"Hmm. So, is this okay then?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no people visible far ahead on the road, Bright opened his clothes to reveal himself.

His magnificent large breasts appeared in the corner of Gash's wide-angle vision, but Gash slowly shook his head.

"Not even a twitch."

"...Ugh, this is a tough problem. How can I have sex with Gash five times?"

"Just shut your damn chest!"

Heely pulled Bright's clothes closed.

"That's why it's impossible! Even I'm confused—I've never felt any desire toward human-type women before."

"Yet you seem to be lusting after Heely every night."

"How do you know that?"

"Are you really doing it every night? You're young, aren't you?"

Gash's tongue flicked as he got caught on the hanging blade.

Night fell.
The foot traveler set up camp.
Though a carriage would surely take him to the next town, Gash chose to camp out—he wanted to save money for lodging, anticipating the costs ahead.
Strangers camping by the road were nothing unusual, and since this area had been cleared of bandits just six months ago, any thieves lurking around would be mere amateurs.

Even if a desperate man with a knife showed up, Gash, a seasoned warrior, could easily turn the tables on him without breaking a sweat.
Besides, Heili might even surpass Gash in strength. Her water spirit, which summoned and manipulated water freely as a weapon without any elaborate gestures or incantations, defied current magical norms.

"Actually, I think just wandering around here is fine," he said. "It's still February, so it'll get warm soon."

"If we're going to do nothing, let's go somewhere farther away. With Gash, wherever we go, it'll be fun."

"...That guy."

He couldn't help but banter with Heili by the fire.

"Where did Bright go?"

"He must have gone flower-picking or something—he has his stuff with him."

"Should I put something in for him while we're at it?"

"Put what in?"

"Gash's little... give it to me. If we hurry, I think I can make him cum once, probably."

"You're saying that weirdly again, you know."

As he spoke, Gash couldn't resist taking the unexpected opportunity.
Sex with Heili had already become a nightly habit for Gash; he wanted to seize even the slightest chance.

Glancing around, Gash quickly pinned Heili down.

"Hurry up and let me finish it all at once."

"You're always ready, aren't you?"

"Besides, I can tell when Gash's getting horny♪"

The lizard's lips and the spirit's lips devoured each other.
Even then, he swiftly pulled off his undergarments and thrust one side of his hemipenis into Heili with urgent intensity.

Familiar yet addictive pleasure wrapped around him.

"Hnngh..."

"Mmm... Gash, you could put both sides in at the same time, even while squeezing my ass."

"If I put it in your ass, cleaning up would be a nightmare..."

"Just between us—if we start once, we can keep going even if Bright comes bothering us later...♪"

"This perverted spirit sure has guts..."

Heili began thrusting back and forth inside him from the very start, with no other goal than mutual climax—a hurried, intense encounter.
This kind of play burned fiercely within them both.

Heili straddled the lizardman, her hands roaming over his rough scales while she rained kisses on his jagged reptilian face, continuing to thrust deep inside him.

And then—

"Hey, so you've finally started?"
Bright appeared at the expected moment.

"N-nothing in particular, but maybe I wanted to say something later."
Gush snapped his hips while holding Heili down as if trying to keep her from escaping, looking up at Bright.

Bright was completely naked; he'd apparently been taking a dip in the nearby river.
Water droplets slid over her curvaceous female form, reflecting off the moonlight and the bonfire, shimmering like gold and silver.

"No, I don't really have anything to say. But may I join you?"

"Oh, oh no, not yet!?"

"No, honestly, that's all I could think of. If I only get aroused by Heili, then there's nothing for me to do but stay with her."

"Eh, eh...?"

While accepting Gush's arousal with her lower body, Heili let out a dissatisfied sound.

"Otherwise, one of us would just be wasting seed on the ground, right?"

"Well, that's true..."

"In that case, excuse me."
With a soft exhale, Bright vanished in the moonlight.

The next instant, his plump naked body slid between Gush and Heili, who were now facing each other in an embrace-like position.

"Don't keep using those surprise moves!"

"Come on, come on. It's troublesome to pull out from Heili every time just to make room for me."

Amidst a chuckling smile, the androgynous beauty's expression was strangely childish, making Gush more startled than by her nakedness itself.
Sensing this delicately, Heili pinched Gush's soft side while saying,
"...B-besides, since we're at it! Bright, don't get too carried away either. This guy is my... uh, what should I call him?"

"...At least call him my boyfriend."

"You think of me as merely your girlfriend? I thought you'd say 'wife'!"

"Being your wife is hardly enough. You're the woman of my destiny."

"Then I'm the man of your destiny! Got it, Bright!?"

"...Yeah, yeah. Just along for the ride."

The two spirits pressed their crotches together tightly, each craving a lizard-like appendage from the other's genitals.
Gush sighed as he vigorously stroked both protrusions.

(TBC)

[Gash Zapper is a tailless lizardman who travels with the water spirit, Healy Water.]

[

]

"It's over... the festival of spirits..."

In the inn in Helicon, where dawn had broken, Gash muttered as he let in the dry northern wind through the window.

Below, the townsfolk were busy cleaning up after the festival.

In Celesta, the most lively creatures are merchants. Without anyone prompting them, they’d already started working hard today to save up for the next festival.

Watching the humans and lizardmen, fox beastmen, and camel lizards pass by the town gate with their merchandise, Gash couldn’t move for a while.

He wanted to bring up the next topic with the girl behind him, but he couldn’t find the courage to do so.

Pondering it, five minutes passed.

Back when he was in the Celesta army, Gash, who was once known for his fierce bravery, had mustered the courage over and over again to ask just one question, finally saying, "Well then," and raising his voice lightly as usual.

"What are you going to do now, Healy?"

The water spirit, Healy Water, had wished to see the festival of spirits.

Even though she was a spirit, she couldn’t freely attend the festival dedicated to them. This dissatisfaction was what Gash, who had lost his tail and his pride as a warrior, now saw as his mission: to resolve it.

What would happen after this?

Would Healy, once again merging with the water currents of this region, disappear somewhere?

...Even though he thought they loved each other deeply, Gash couldn’t shake off this unease.

[

]

"I’ve still got time before checkout... I’ll sleep a bit longer..."

The question, which required his greatest courage, was brushed aside so easily.

Turning around, Healy was curled up like a caterpillar under the blanket.

"Gosh, for a spirit, you’re such a slug-a-bed!"

"Because Gash wouldn’t let me sleep until dawn... It’s fine, it was just one of those days... You should come over here and sleep too, Gash. For someone who’s a variable-temperature creature, you’re way too early-riser..."

"I’m not a variable-temperature creature just because my blood pressure’s a bit low!"

Saying that, Gash lazily crawled into bed.

Under the blanket, Healy, still naked from their intense lovemaking yesterday, slipped into Gash’s arms, half-asleep and carefree.

"Nyufu..."

"That’s what I’m saying... You said when we first met that you wanted to see the festival of spirits, didn’t you?"

"...Did I?"

"It was just a few months ago, wasn’t it!?"

"I did...? But Gash’s been so perverted since then that it’s just been overwhelming..."

"...Anyway. We’ve achieved our goal, but what are we going to do now?"

"...What should we do? Well then, I’d like to go somewhere warm until the next festival..."

"Do you still want to see the festival of spirits?"

"It was fun, wasn’t it...?"

Clinging to Gash’s chest, Healy pressed her soft cheek against him.

"...Well, fine, I guess."

Gash, feeling deflated, held her small head tightly.

Healy had decided to continue spending her time with Gash and showed no sign of even considering returning to nature.
It felt like a waste of excitement.

In their late-morning routine, one dark elf barged in energetically.

"Hey, morning’s come, folks!"

"Knock first, then come through the door! Don’t just phase through the wall!"

"Oh my, you’re in quite a foul mood."

"You woke up and then went back to sleep? Damn it!"

Bright Light, a spirit of light.

...That’s what he called himself, looking like a neutral beauty among dark elves.

I wanted to complain that if she were a spirit of light, she should look more white, but I held back since that would make Healy look like a merman. It’s a typical lizardman argument: don’t mix with those who don’t even have legs.

"Anyway, you’ve paid me back for yesterday’s debt! Get the hell out of here already!"

"Hahaha, what a rough treatment. Doesn’t matter to me."

"You keep barging in when we’re enjoying our time alone!"

"From what I can see, you two are enjoying being alone together 24/7, aren’t you?"

Gash and Healy froze, though it wasn’t like they were having sex all morning. Still, it couldn’t be denied that their conversations turned sweet when they were alone.

Fully awake now, the two of them got up.

"So, what’s this? We’ll cover the room fee, so you can go."

"No, no, I held back yesterday as a spirit because I couldn’t interfere with lovers’ night."

Bright smiled warmly.

"I think you already interfered plenty."

"Actually, Healy said it yesterday too, but yeah, you’re right. It’s better to try it yourself than just watch others do it."

"Wait, why Gash? Just grab some elf off the street or something!"

Healy, still half-naked, clung to Gash and bared her teeth.

Bright didn’t seem bothered at all.

"Well, that’s for Gash to decide, isn’t it? I’m not asking you to become my husband or anything. I just want to fulfill the wish of my benefactor who wants to try it once."

"Oh dear, it doesn’t feel good just once, Gash is all about momentum!"

"Hey, Healy, that hurts."

"Sorry."

"Hahaha, well, maybe two or three times then."

[User]: "Uh... I still don’t think I can properly evaluate Gash, so maybe five times?"
[User]: "What the hell are you doing increasing your own number of orgasms, you idiot spirit?"
[User]: "Thwack!" [User]: "H-Hey, if the baby spirits think Gash is bad at it, I’d hate that!!"
[User]: "I appreciate the concern, but isn’t this just playing into this shady woman’s hands?!"
[User]: "You’re quite amusing, you two."

In the end.

Even after checking out of the inn, Bright kept following.

"If we’re heading south, it’ll either be the Lapar Islands or the Chere Islands... We could also take a ship to the Goat Kingdom and then head south through the Great Plains."

Gash: "Gash, have you ever been abroad?"

[User]: "Of course not! I’ve only been in the inland patrol until now!"

They left Helicon Town.

To the east was the Elven Forest Realm, but they knew it wasn’t a place that would easily let someone like Hilly, who had no clear identity, pass through. Walking through the forest realm was the only way to get out of the country and head south, but the forest realm was notorious for being troublesome in every sense of the word, so travelers tended to avoid it.

Gash: "Then are you going to Quiqua?"

[User]: "...Bright, how far are you planning to follow me?"

[Bright]: "Well, until Gash and I finish having sex."

Gash: "It’s not just because of Gash, you know!"

[Bright]: "Wasn’t it agreed that five times would be fine?"

Gash: "...Huh? Was it really?"

[User]: "Don’t fall for it. Or rather, don’t let yourself be swayed by her, Hilly."

Walking along the road, Gash couldn’t help but feel anxious about when they might end up agreeing to something strange.

Gash: "Anyway, I can only get aroused by Hilly among human women."

[User]: "Oh my."

[Bright]: "Hmm. How about this?"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one far ahead on the road, Bright started showing off her clothes.

Her impressive breasts caught the corner of Gash’s wide-angle vision, but he slowly shook his head.

"Not a single twitch."

[User]: "...Ugh, we’ve hit a tough problem. How can I get Gash to have sex with me five times?"

Gash: "Just put your clothes back on already!"

[Hilly]: "I’m telling you, it’s impossible! I’m as confused as you are, Gash—I’ve never been aroused by a human woman before."

[User]: "And yet you’re aroused by Hilly every night."

[Bright]: "How do you know that?"

Gash: "Do you really do it every night? You’re quite the young one."

Gash, caught in a trap, licks his lips nervously.

Night.

A traveler on foot camps out.

If he had a carriage, he would’ve definitely gone to an inn by now, but Gash, wanting to save money for the expected travel expenses ahead, chose to camp out instead.

It’s not an uncommon sight along the road, and this area is where they recently hunted bandits, so any who might be around are likely just amateurs.

Even if a hungry thief were armed with a blade, it would be no trouble for a warrior like Gash to turn the tables.

Besides, Healy could easily outfight Gash. Without even a special move or incantation, she conjures water and freely controls it as a weapon—something that falls outside the current understanding of magic.

“Honestly, I think just wandering around here would be fine. It’s been cold for about two months, but it’ll warm up soon enough.”

“If we’re going to go somewhere anyway, let’s go far. With Gash, anywhere is fun.”

“…You’re such a—”

Unintentionally, Gash ends up flirting with Healy by the campfire.

“Where’d Bright go?”

“He’s got his stuff… so he’s probably out picking flowers or something.”

“Should we take this chance and—?”

“Take what?”

“Gash’s thing, for me. If we hurry, you might be able to cum at least once.”

“You say it in such a weird way…”

As they talk, Gash lets his excitement get the better of him.

For Gash, having sex with Healy has already become a nightly routine. Even a small chance like this is worth taking advantage of.

Looking around, Gash quickly pushes Healy down.

“Let’s hurry and get it in all at once.”

“You’re always ready for it, aren’t you?”

“I can totally sense when Gash’s about to get worked up♪”

Their lizard lips and spirit lips clash in a frenzy.

Meanwhile, Gash quickly removes his underwear and, growing impatient, pushes one of his hemipenes into Healy.

He’s used to it, but the addictive pleasure still envelops him.

“Ngh…”

“Mmm… Gash, you don’t have to just use that one—why not both? Put them in your ass at the same time.”

“If I put them in my butt, it’ll be a mess…”

“Just between us, once you start, you can keep going even if Bright tries to stop you…♪”

Healy wraps her arms around the lizardman on top of her and showers his rough lizard face with kisses while continuing to offer herself inside.

And then.

"Hey, so you’ve finally started, huh?"

As expected, Bright appeared at just the right moment.

"G-Got something to say? Save it for later."

Gash pressed down on Healy as if to keep her from escaping and looked up at Bright while swaying his hips.

Bright was completely naked. It seemed he’d been bathing in a nearby river.

The curves of his feminine body glistened with water, reflecting the moonlight and campfire glow as it shimmered like gold and silver.

"No, I don’t have anything to say. Mind if I join in?"

"H-How about you stop already!?"

"Ah, well, I can’t think of anything else. If I’m only aroused by Healy, then I guess I have no choice but to share in her bounty."

"Eh…?"

While accepting Gash’s arousal with her lower body, Healy let out an annoyed voice.

"If we stay like this, one of us is just going to end up on the ground for nothing, right?"

"Well, yeah, but it’s a hassle to keep moving away from you every time."

With a chuckle, Bright disappeared into the moonlight.

The next moment, his ample body slid in between Healy and Gash, facing her as if they were embracing.

"Geez, don’t misuse that sudden teleporting ability of yours!"

"Oh, come on. It’s a hassle to keep pulling away from you every time, isn’t it?"

Her neutral beauty smiled with a strangely childlike expression, making Gash’s heart skip a beat more than her body did.

Sensing this, Healy pinched Gash’s soft side as she said, "…I-I’m just going along with it, okay!? Bright, don’t get too carried away, he’s my… uh, what do you call him?"

"…"Healy, I’d prefer if you called me your boyfriend."

"You think I’m just your girlfriend? I thought you’d say something like ‘wife’ or something."

"A wife wouldn’t be enough. He’s my destined one."

"Well then, he’s your destined one too! Got it, Bright!?"

"…Yeah, yeah, just go along with it, okay?"

The two spirits pressed their genitals together, each craving the other’s serpent-like member.

Gash let out a sigh but still grew excited at the sight of the two members.

(To be continued)
