This is a story between Episode 124, “Family Talk,” and Episode 125, “The Royal Capital University Story.”
I ended up spending the night at Baroness Irene’s place after too much lazy sex, and now I’m sneaking back to the barony in the morning.
“Where were you, Andy?”
”…Sorry, just… with Irene…”
Diane gave me a slightly troubled look.
“Ah, well, I won’t stop you… but before we confirm anything, are you planning on making Irene your female slave too?”
“Don’t say things like that, it’s unsettling…”
Everyone casually calls each other slaves and slave girls all the time, so I’m used to it, but hearing someone else suggest turning her into a female slave would normally be shocking.
“So, what kind of relationship are you planning?”
”…………”
Right now, she’s basically just a sex friend, but when you put it that way, it’s definitely a dangerous situation in more ways than one. Yeah.
”…To be honest, my impression is this—”
“Huh?”
“That girl—though she doesn’t say it outright because of her position—is already… well, at least as much of a female slave as Luna, if not more.”
“N-no way!”
“Having relations with a human and giving birth to a half-elf isn’t exactly something elves readily accept. But since you’re the hero who rescued Break Core and Dier, it’s unlikely they’d openly condemn you.”
“Ugh…”
True, the elves are still in the early stages of interacting with the outside world, like Trott, so they can’t really ostracize her because of what she and I did.
But that doesn’t mean their minds have completely changed.
”…Well, Irene’s father is from the White Clan, and her family isn’t too extreme… but even so, seventy years ago, Irene’s maids who were impregnated by outside bandits were all banished because of the ‘tainted blood’ reason.”
”…Y-yeah, that’s true…”
But I’m still getting away with unrestricted creampieing. That makes me sound like a real monster.
“But Andy, what you should be focusing on isn’t that. It’s related, but it’s not that.”
”?!”
“Despite all that reality being pushed down her throat, Irene is actively clinging to you and giving you her body… I just want you to take it seriously.”
”…Yeah, you’re right.”
That might be a pretty brave act on her part.
And yet, I was acting like it was nothing, calling her a “sex friend” like it’s some casual thing, maybe treating Irene too lightly.
No, maybe I was just selfishly taking advantage of her and indulging in the fact that she lets me.
I should probably stop being so casual about it… though, just a moment ago, I was still enjoying stuffing her pussy over and over again while half-asleep.
“You look like you’ve just realized something.”
“Y-yeah…”
“So, let’s settle this. If Irene were to be abandoned in the forest, what kind of partner would you be for her?”
“Huh?”
“It’s not like you can just say ‘I won’t sleep with her anymore’ at this point, right? Irene is aware of all those obstacles and still clings to you, sleeping with you over and over. What you should be thinking about isn’t whether or not to keep sleeping with Irene. It’s whether to make her your female slave, treat her as a wife, or just discard her when you’re done.”
“Throw her away, huh…?”
“Well, I doubt you’d actually do it. But think about it. If Aireena were forced to choose between the forest and you, she’d probably take you and get exiled. Don’t try to weasel out of it with half-assed excuses.”
”…”
Diane’s words made me realize she was right.
I technically refuse to let her get pregnant, but I don’t refuse sex, and after she gets inseminated, she clings to me like a lovesick puppy. If we had a kid and I told her, “Have it, then get out of the forest,”… I bet she’d just go for it.
…Huh?
“Wait, Diane.”
“What is it?”
“Isn’t this… isn’t this exactly what Feyer was talking about when he mentioned ‘training’?”
“Raping, driving her insane, making her do your bidding… Ah, yeah, she’s definitely the closest thing to a proper slave I’ve had so far.”
I wasn’t that close to Aireena before we started sleeping together. And it’s true that after, she became dramatically clingy and affectionate.
With the others, normal affection, misunderstandings, racial issues, or personal fetishes always came first. No one had fallen into a purely sexual relationship with me as completely as Aireena had.
“Eep. Please, not that title.”
”…Well, just don’t let Feyer find out.”
I was abandoned.
…Yeah, if it’s this far gone, you’d normally just abandon them.
Afternoon.
Instead of holing up in the forge, I did marching drills and archery practice.
If you slack off, your stamina drops fast. Even if you leave the brawling to the others, you can’t be worth a damn if you can’t even run away when it counts.
So, I ran back and forth along the road near the forest, shooting at scarecrows in the meadow to maintain my fitness.
“Huff….”
I don’t get as wrecked in bed these days, but apparently, sex and running use pretty different muscles.
The distance I could run hadn’t really improved much, though.
“Hmm. It’s invigorating, isn’t it?”
“Aireena.”
Aireena was sitting on a rock by the side of the road before I knew it.
“More like, you’re lucky you can even run that much after yesterday. I couldn’t stand up straight for a while after waking up.”
“Ah… sorry.”
“I’m not blaming you, you know? …Hmm. Sometimes, it’s nice to just… indulge in your desires without worrying about time… or rather…”
She’s blushing, ears twitching.
Well, she probably wouldn’t talk like that unless we were in the heat of passion.
But…
”…Hmm, without worrying about time…?”
Her flustered expression snapped into a serious one.
She stared off into space for a while, deep in thought.
“What are you thinking, Ailina?”
“Hmm? Well, uh… Speaking of which, Lord Smisson doesn’t seem to know much about the forest, does he?”
“Well, if you asked me if he knew a lot or not… but I think he’s one of the top experts on forests among the Trott people.”
I flinched slightly at the sudden change in topic. My head was still spinning from the run, and I couldn’t respond as quickly as usual.
Ailina nodded, “That’s right,” and grabbed my hand firmly.
“Alright then, I’ll give you a little tour of the forest today. It’s what I’m here for.”
“Huh? What’s with the sudden change?”
“It would be strange if Lord Smisson, the savior of the forest, didn’t know much about it, wouldn’t it? He doesn’t even know more than half of the clan territories! If he offers blessings like that, the elves of the Northern Forest will call him ungrateful.”
“Who’s going to say that?!”
It sounded like a forced argument, but I couldn’t shake off Ailina’s hand as she pulled me into the forest.
”…Open.”
We crossed an ancient barrier.
Right after entering the forest was Silver Clan territory.
”If we come straight here after the march, Lila and Lady Diarne will complain later, so let’s go back and come again…”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll send a messenger later.”
Ailina walked through the center of the Silver Clan’s main settlement, the clan village, with an oddly cheerful expression.
I followed along.
“Oh, White Ailina-sama. Good day to you."
"Hmm, a fine day indeed.”
The elves passing by gave Ailina a simple blessing gesture. Apparently, that was their traditional greeting for superiors.
“And to Lord Smisson of Polka, good health!"
"Ah, greetings.”
I returned the gesture lightly.
The Silver Clan elves were in a somewhat delicate position, so it was hard to tell how they felt until you saw how they acted. Some middle-aged elves glared at me, while others were friendly. Silver was also connected to Faezer.
But on the other hand, they were also a subordinate clan of Misty Palace, Myia’s homeland. The dragons of Misty Palace were almost entirely friendly towards me, so there were quite a few elves who, like the one who just greeted me, didn’t shun me because of the dragons’ wishes.
Also, being close to Polka was a big factor. With the dragons’ influence and the curiosity of young elves, some had even started interacting with the Polka clan. Among them were those who already considered humans good friends.
“You’re sweating, so shall we go take a bath in the hot springs, Lord Smisson?"
"Ah… yeah, that sounds good.”
Silver Clan territory was also the source of spiritual springs, sharing the same origin as Polka’s. The effects were almost identical.
However, since not many people came to this forest with poor visibility, there was no need to develop bathhouses, or perhaps it was just tradition. The spiritual springs accumulated in several natural pools without any enclosures or changing rooms. You could just enter wherever there was space – a very casual style.
There wasn’t any specific rule about which pool was for which gender. In that state of affairs, peeking into someone’s bath to check if they were already inside wasn’t frowned upon, and you could even ask if it was alright to share the same pool if you got their consent.
”…Diarne’s colony was like this too.”
“Because of this custom, there are even stories that only the Silver Ones actually bathe in the springs; everyone else just drinks the spring water."
"Man, this is embarrassing for a normal elf…”
Wandering through the forest and peeking into several springs, it seemed like most were occupied by women who cared about their beauty. When they saw my face and Aireena’s, they’d give a wry smile and ask, “Care to join us?” I almost always wanted to say yes, but Aireena would always refuse.
“Apparently, the dragons of Misty Palace not caring about nudity has influenced even the Silver Ones."
"I really respect Brool and the others right now."
"Idiot.”
I got smacked with a wooden stick.
After visiting seven or eight springs full of naked elves—well, springs—I finally found an empty one tucked away a bit deeper.
”Alright, let’s go in."
"Mm.”
As I stripped off my clothes, Aireena naturally took off her panties.
”Wait, are we going in together?"
"Hmm? You’re worried about that now?"
"No, but is it okay?"
"Were you not planning on it from the start?”
Aireena smirked mischievously as she dropped her skirt, exposing her hairless crotch to the dappled sunlight.
”I’m tired right now."
"Hmm."
"…My dick’s still got a lot of energy, though. Still wanna go in together?"
"It’d be the same even if you weren’t tired.”
Aireena took off her jacket and hung it on a branch. She loosely tied her hair into a ponytail with a vine leaf and waded into the spring, grinning as she waited for me to undress.
”Perfect."
"Good, good.”
I stripped off my clothes in one quick motion and dove in next to Aireena. The water was pleasantly lukewarm—ideal for a long soak.
And then…
”…Haaah."
"Haa…good water, isn’t it?”
After both of us sighed,
“Alright, let’s get started."
"Fwoosh…slow down, you idiot! Let me enjoy the bath a little more!"
"Nope. Don’t run away."
"I’ll catch you, you’re a soldier who thrives on endurance challenges, aren’t you?♪”
Aireena and I splashed around in the spring, chasing each other. At some point, her butt—thanks to the levitation magic she’d used—was right at my eye level, which only made me more flustered as I desperately chased after her.
And finally, I pinned down Aireena—who seemed to have deliberately let herself get caught—in the shallows.
“Fufu… it’s been a while since I’ve been this playful in the bathhouse.”
“Even if you are the clan leader, you mustn’t frolic so indecently!”
“And who is it that’s pinned me down with such a lustful, thoroughly aroused face?”
“Me.”
“I apologize for my lack of restraint.”
“Ngh… Nghm… Nghrel…”
“Nngh… Nngh—”
”…Haa.”
I kiss Ireena. Her thin tongue and small mouth don’t just allow my tongue entry—they actively try to wrap around it.
Stubbornly, I chase the tip of her tongue, our mouths exploring each other’s insides.
”…Fool. All while lecturing me like that, you’re using such a wanton tongue…♪”
”…This is punishment for your scandalous clan leader.”
“I merely followed the customs of Silver Village, as one should when in Silver Village, yes? It was you who got so worked up on your own.”
“Anyone would get worked up.”
”…Do I know what’s normal for you? I hardly know you at all… except for that raging member of yours, hm?”
Ireena lightly places one leg over my hip. An invitation.
It feels a little uncool to just give in to an invitation like this.
But.
“Then let me tell you something good. I’m super horny.”
“That much, I know… Nghn!”
And with that, I thrust into her as she invited me.
Uncool? Fine. Ireena is too cute and precious to care.
I’m not the kind of guy who can hold back in a situation like this just because he cares about appearances.
“Ngh… Aah… Haa…♪”
Ireena’s wet ponytail fans out into the shallow water, spreading intricate ripples with a shhh-shhh.
Her arms are wrapped around my shoulders, trapping me so I can’t escape. From an outsider’s perspective, it’d look like I’m the bad guy.
But her legs have me in a bear hug, refusing to let go. As my hips move roughly back and forth, she clings to me, firmly receiving every thrust.
And that vagina of hers, which is incredibly compatible with me, is greedily devouring my cock.
Her young, already accustomed-to-being-fucked pussy clenches and winces with each of my thrusts. The overflowing lubrication seems to be in sync with Ireena’s pleasure-distorted expression—the liquid spilling from her lips and eyes.
“Haa… Haa…♪”
“Ireena… Ireena, this feels so good, your body…!!”
“M-Me too… Me too, I feel like I’m melting…♪”
“I think I’m about to come…”
“Y-You know not to, right…? Don’t come inside me…!”
“Ah, I know… I know, but…” Irina’s legs won’t let go at all. ”…Some pervert out there must be telling her not to come out…” “Who the hell would say such nonsense…♪” “I wonder who it is…? H-Hey, she’s coming, Irina!!” “Ngh… ah, inside… this idiot, inside…♪” Irina squeezed my legs tight as she cursed me while taking my release deep inside her. I collapsed, collapsing onto Irina. She groaned heavily, turning her face sideways beneath my chest. ”…Haa, haa…” ”…You really came a lot this time… well, we were breeding the whole night, so there’s no point in stopping now… you’re being way too forward♪” “I thought about pulling out… yeah, it’s not my fault.” “Don’t lie, you just coated her insides with your seed.” “You heard me?” “Of course I heard you. I’m the one getting ravaged here!” Smack, she hit me on the head. ”…Time for a change.” ”?” I thought maybe the spring had a time limit, but Irina just flipped me over, putting me underneath her. “You’d be too heavy if you stayed on top the whole time. I’m small, you know?” “Sorry.” ”…Honestly, you should think about others a little more.” “But you’re not pulling out, right?” “I’m tired. Just lie there and be my pillow for a bit.” Irina kept my dick in her mouth as she flopped down on top of me, face-down. Or rather, she was just being clingy and spoiled. ”…You don’t get soft, do you?” “If you just lay there without moving, I’d probably come every thirty minutes or so.” It feels amazing inside Irina. “Shall we try it?” “Seriously?”
She really made me last until I came.
I felt refreshed… or maybe just relieved. We left the spring forest and headed toward a plaza at a specific location in the Clan Village. The plaza was oddly shaped, but every Clan Village had one exactly like it. You could travel between them by activating a simple spell on each plaza. “Next… well, since we’re here, why don’t we go to the Gold Clan Village?”
“Got any money on you?"
"The Golden Territory boasts a great river flowing through it. The scenery is unparalleled.”
Irina said proudly, activating her teleportation spell.
The Golden Territory was dominated by a single mountain, so high it nearly rivaled the Azure Serpent Peaks.
A river flowed alongside it—partially fed by springs from the mountain itself.
There was a waterfall several hundred meters wide with a drop of nearly one hundred meters, and near it stood the clan’s manor.
“Whoa."
"Amazing, isn’t it?"
"Yeah, this is something else. I went on an expedition to the Great Almonica River before, but I never saw a waterfall this impressive."
"That waterfall and the Holy Elf Peak are among our territory’s proudest features."
"Holy Elf Peak?"
"According to our legends, elves worthy of such status become lesser spirits after death and dwell in that mountain. Eventually, they become part of the Light Spirits."
"Heh. Elves have that kind of thing too, huh?"
"Do humans have something similar?"
"Loads of them. The Trot Church teaches that when people die, they ride the currents of spirit energy to Raika Mountain."
"Hoh?"
"There, the Guardian Spirit of the Land judges them and grants them a new fate before they’re reborn."
"What else?"
"In Celesta, there’s supposedly a different view on death for every colony. Though lately, fewer people seem to believe in local faiths."
"Truly lamentable.”
As she spoke, Irina led the way toward a nearby ranch.
The ranch kept a small herd of unicorns.
They decided to borrow one and ride along the river, ascending slightly to view the great cliff face that ran alongside it—but…
”Mmm… finding a unicorn willing to carry us is proving difficult."
"Unicorns are said to prefer virgins, so maybe Irina’s current state isn’t helping."
"N-no! That’s just superstition! It’s the stench you’re wearing!”
Irina had been repeatedly rejected by every unicorn.
”Mmm… Golcus’s sister rode unicorns without a second thought even after getting married…"
"Golcus’s sister married into House White? Wait, is Golcus your half-brother or something?"
"If you go back four or five generations, Golcus’s brother-in-law was indeed my relative, but I myself have no siblings."
"Whoa, that was close. …I thought you’d kill me if you found out Golcus raped Irina."
"He used to visit the White Territory often and was a good friend when I was younger. You wouldn’t understand, would you?"
"…Listen, if you try to cut me down, I’m dead in one hit, okay? Unlike Anzalos, I can’t defend myself at all!"
"Kukuku, that’d be quite the scandal♪”
Irina grinned mischievously.
In the end, it seemed like the old mare would listen to me if I asked nicely, so we attached a small two- or three-seater carriage and headed upriver along the riverbank.
“Guess there aren’t as many elves around as I thought."
"Elves are particularly few in number, you see. Because the Holy Spirit Peaks have such strong purifying energy, their breeding rate’s been especially suppressed, or so Christy said."
"If that logic holds, shouldn’t there be fewer reds where the Divine Beast Labyrinth used to be?"
"Not so much. Reds tend to go out more than other clans, so they probably get a balanced dose of bad energy, according to Christy again."
"Things are complicated, huh?"
"What? Nothing compared to the outside world.”
We plodded up the slope and reached the waterfall. After letting the carriage roll slowly for a while, we spotted elves frolicking in the river.
Come to think of it, it’s still summer, right? It’s already autumn in Polka, but time probably passes slower in the Evergreen Forest.
Even so… those elves look like they’re naked. Can’t really say anything about silver, though.
”Guess they don’t have much shame here either."
"It’s just decided that the top of the waterfall is for women bathing, and the bottom is for men. Don’t get any closer than that, or I won’t be responsible if you get shot."
"…Got it.”
Well, yeah. Right.
By the time the sky turned red, we reached the great cliff.
It was a masterpiece of nature carved by the river.
It looked like it was easily 500 meters high. Looking up from below was incredibly impressive.
”I didn’t realize the elf forest was this amazing. I thought it’d be just some empty woods."
"Because of the ancient barrier distorting it, its actual size is said to be more than three times that of the Troll Kingdom. If it’s big enough, there’s bound to be all sorts of things in it."
"If we’re going around like that, it won’t take a month or two."
"Well, I’ll just show you the places that can be done in two or three days. Be grateful and worship me."
"Hey, you dragged me here against my will, saying it was to prevent elves from being called ungrateful."
"For the sake of all elves, yes. But whether you personally feel gratitude toward me is your own choice."
"Ah… whatever. I guess we’re seeing some good stuff, though."
"Hoho.”
A magnificent peak. A great cliff. A gentle great river. And a waterfall that creates rainbows.
You could be grateful. It was a view so grand it made you feel that way.
”Now then… if you’re so grateful, wouldn’t it be proper to show it in your actions?"
"?!"
"…S-so, fortunately or unfortunately, I’ve already taken your seed inside me countless times today. No amount of more will make any difference."
"Wait, what are you even saying out here in the wide open, Clan Leader?"
"Eh? Elves don’t bother locking themselves indoors every time they make love. Rather, if two lovers want to imply making babies, they go deep into the forest together."
"…Ah."
"So… um…"
"Alright, alright. …You slut.”
”…♪"
"Ah, and also…"
"Hmm…?"
"…You want a lover, Airena?”
I ask while pretending to be nonchalant, but it’s actually pretty important.
”Ah, uh—”
Airena fidgets with the hem of her skirt, ears lowered, her face bright red as she stammers.
”You’re a hero, but still just human. And I’m one of the top elves. It’s only natural you’d fall for me, but… well, being lovers might be a little difficult.”
“I see…"
"Bu—but—”
Airena grips my hand tightly, her expression earnest as she looks at me.
”…You’d ignore my needs, wouldn’t you?”
”…………”
“You’d forcefully claim me as your own, right…?”
”…Let me tell you something, Airena.”
”…………”
“I call that kind of thing a ‘female slave’.”
”…I know.”
“A female slave is a much more embarrassing name than you think. And I don’t hold back with my female slaves.”
”…I know.”
“Even so—”
I say it deliberately.
”Even so, do you want to be ravaged, slut?”
By using such harsh words, I give her an escape route, pushing her away, but even as I do, there’s a part of me that feels a little spoiled.
”…I am the chieftain. Airena, chieftain of the White Clan.”
And then, Airena is only pretending to be resolute.
”You’d still ravage me, pervert?”
She snaps her cloak’s fastener open and lets it fall as she forces a decision from me.
”…You know me well, don’t you?”
”…Because I’m a slut♪”
And so, the two of us push responsibility onto each other, kiss, and collapse into the bushes.
The unicorn snorts. Hmph, it must have laughed at how ridiculous we are.
(To be continued)
