It was drizzling. The lovesick girl sighed, realizing she had missed another chance. She thought of herself as a mature adult, but now she couldn’t deny that she was still just a child in transition. “Hmm… I wish I could see him.” Even though she knew she should be patient, her heart yearned for him. He was a soldier stationed an hour’s walk away from the city. It wasn’t surprising they didn’t get to meet very often. Especially when bad weather made it necessary for him to walk that long distance in the rain. If he caught a cold, there would be no way she could forgive herself if she let him come. Still. ”…I wish we could see each other at least once a week.”
She felt like a child who had been let down by the sky after looking forward to a picnic, and even though she knew it was childish and short-sighted of her, she couldn’t help but feel deflated at the thought of not seeing him for another whole week. “What’s with that gloomy face, Sylvie? Want a drink?” The bartender tapped on the barrel across the counter. “No thanks. It’s still broad daylight.” “Haha, I see. Well, you’re only nineteen so it wouldn’t be surprising if you didn’t feel like drinking yet.” “Whether I’m thirty or forty, I don’t think people who start drinking in the middle of the day are very good company on weekends either.” “You’re such a goody-two-shoes. No wonder you’re MacLean’s daughter.” “It has nothing to do with my mother.” Her mother was an elementary school teacher and her father a bureaucrat. It couldn’t be denied that she came from a serious household, but Sylvia thought drinking should only happen at night after work or on weekends. By the way, in Celesta you’re allowed to drink alcohol starting at seventeen years old, so age-wise there’s no problem.
“…sigh.” Looking up at the dark sky through the window, Sylvia sighed. She finished off her lunch gratin with a gloomy expression, gazing at the street corner where Ernie usually stood aimlessly.
Sylvia MacLean (human female, 19 years old, height 152 cm) and Ernie Boyd Jr. (orga male, 18 years old, height 277 cm) had been dating for three months. An unwritten rule of meeting up had formed between them. On Sundays around noon, they would meet at the pub near town that was frequented by Ernie’s unit, the Crossbow Corps. If circumstances allowed it, they’d spend time together at the arena or go on a picnic in the mountains. Ideally, they wished to communicate more closely, but Ernie lived far away in his unit’s barracks. The military made it difficult for outsiders to approach him, and paper was still too expensive to use frequently for correspondence. Even if Ernie wanted to come see her, Sylvia worked during weekdays. Her curfew was strict, and both of her parents were stern people who hadn’t yet introduced her to Ernie. There was no way they could meet otherwise. So the only way they could see each other was by following their usual routine: meeting up as planned and spending time together if everything went well.
Since we started dating, our love has grown stronger and stronger. Sylvia really wanted to be with me all the time, but she was frustrated by this waiting game. She didn’t want to take any drastic actions that might inconvenience Arnie. Every day, she reminded herself that she should act like an older sister.
“Hmm.” “What’s wrong? Are you feeling depressed because of the rain? Or did you finally get a boyfriend who wants to go on a date with you?” The barmaid asked her casually as she looked at Sylvia. ”……Huh?” Sylvia was slightly surprised. Although she hadn’t told her parents, Sylvia wasn’t trying to hide her relationship with Arnie. She thought the barmaid would have noticed since this place was right across from their meeting spot.
”…Well, no.” “Oh? Oh oh oh.”
The shopkeeper grinned lecherously at Sylvia’s serious answer. “Sylvie-chan finally got a boyfriend? This is breaking news! Why didn’t you tell me?” “What… are you talking about?” “Well, yeah.” She pretended to poke her with her thick elbow. Of course, the counter was in the way and her arm couldn’t reach Sylvia. “Beautiful, serious, famous Sylvie-chan, who’s turned down countless men. Impregnable, aloof, pure and innocent, a flower on an unreachable hill in the working-class district.” “…I didn’t reject them.” Since she went to elementary school, indeed several boys had pursued her persistently. But somehow none of them felt right, so she rejected all of them. Thinking back now, it was inevitable that they would feel inadequate for Sylvia. They lacked the reliability to protect her if need be, the warmth to envelop her, and the purity to make her want to take care of them. Most importantly, there wasn’t a calm atmosphere in which she could spend hours with them. In this sense, Sylvia’s standards were high, and Arnie was an exceptional existence.
However, Sylvia had never thought of herself as a high-maintenance girl. She figured she was just an ordinary woman who kept her distance from romantic entanglements. There were plenty of guys who would approach any woman they could, so it seemed natural to her.
“Maybe I’ve been more popular than I thought?”
“Haha, this is wartime; capturing men isn’t easy. No prince charming will come sweeping you off your feet from afar. If there’s a chance to get a guy right in front of you, it would be foolish not to take it.”
”…Oh, so that’s how it is. They don’t usually come to me?”
Sylvia had her own special someone. He might not have been a prince, but he was the ideal boy for her.
Thinking about this made Sylvia feel incredibly lucky and happy. Since he took their relationship seriously, she figured it wasn’t too much to ask if they couldn’t see each other for a week or so.
Seeing Sylvia suddenly smile, the innkeeper gave an odd look.
“Look at you, crying one moment and laughing the next.”
”…Yeah, I guess I’m happier than I thought.”
“Well, that’s fine. If you feel like it, tell me about your boyfriend sometime, Silvy.”
“Yeah. …I think I’ve been watching you a lot.” “Really? The old lady often sees young men… hmm… it must be Anzeross-kun, right?” ”…Who’s that?” “There’s this really handsome soldier around.” “That’s not it. Hehe♪” No matter how good-looking or serious the actor might be, Ernest-kun is unbeatable, Sylvia thinks quite seriously. When you like someone, even their freckles are charming.
So as things turned out, she was in a good mood and stood up to leave the tavern.
A beautiful woman with a smile will attract far more people than one with an unhappy face. Without realizing it, half of the men in the tavern were staring at Sylvia. Given that they couldn’t work due to the rain and had been drinking all day, it was almost natural for them to develop some sort of lecherous thoughts toward this lone girl.
“Hey, miss. Pour me a drink. You must be bored, right?” One of the drunkards grabbed Sylvia’s arm. The owner had gone into the kitchen and no one was watching.
“N-no! What do you want?”
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t know how to pour drinks yet? I said pour some sake for me. And while you’re at it, why don’t we have a little fun together?”
“No…”
“Come on, now!”
Sylvia was pulled forcefully and stumbled onto the floor.
“Oh my, sorry about that… My hand slipped.”
The drunkard lifted her skirt with his hand, exposing her underwear to the other drunks who cheered. “Haha, give us a little more service, okay? I’m not trying to take advantage of you.”
“No…” Sylvia recoiled in fear. She fully realized that she had no allies around her. She felt dizzy thinking about what this drunk might do to her before his wife and the gendarmes could exact their vengeance on him. “Here…” The drunk reached out, while Sylvia tried to crawl away from him by a few centimeters. At that moment, a huge hand intervened.
“What’s this?” “Oh, you shouldn’t…do stuff like that.”
Sylvia had been crawling under the table and couldn’t see everything clearly.
Even so, she immediately recognized that soaked hand and the timid voice. “Ah… Arnie-kun!?” She was scared. But he came to help her again. In Sylvia’s heart, something that had already been on the verge of breaking suddenly changed with a sound. It was the moment when love turned from like to truly loving someone.
His heroic act with just his hands was enough to seal Sylvia’s maiden heart.
“Hey you, don’t get cocky just because you’re big. Even an Orc wouldn’t dare.” The man was a mercenary. He had some skill in him. Even though he was drunk, he didn’t want to fall behind even one young orc. But…
“Hmph, what a cheap sword. It looks like it hasn’t been properly maintained at all.”
When I reached out to give the ogre a taste of his own medicine and found no sword there, I saw that a young man had taken it without permission and was examining it.
It was Andy. “Hey kid, you can’t just go touching someone else’s sword…”
“Oh, put down the drink,”
Just as he reached out to Andy, his head was picked up by an even larger finger than the ogre’s before. The finger twisted his head around like a screw, and when it let him go, there was a giant bovine face in front of him.
“Ah!”
He couldn’t help but recoil; facing off against two ogres without any weapons was terrifying enough.
Andy, Arnie, and Kelly came to the tavern cheerfully despite the rain.
On days off, Andy and Kelly wanted to drink just as much as anyone else. They had initially planned on leaving Ernie in charge of counting weapons while they went out together, but when Ernie pleaded with a face that looked like he was about to cry, saying, “I really meant to go see Sylvia today, she might be waiting,” they reluctantly agreed to finish quickly and head out together. “Teasing someone with a girlfriend is our way.” “You should show some maturity for once, Smalls. We can torment Boyd later.” “That’s true.” ”…Um, am I going to get tormented?” ‘Of course.’ Andy and Kelly weren’t exactly cruel, though; they couldn’t leave Ernie in the lurch when Sylvia was waiting out in the rain. So the three of them marched through the downpour singing marching songs as they made their way to drink. When they opened the door, it was straight into Sylvia’s big predicament. Andy and Kelly were visibly upset about leaving poor Sylvia hanging. “Hey you drunks. There are three things I can’t stand in this world: low-ceilinged junk shops, pickled herring, and people who make their subordinates miserable.”
Kelly raised his hand high and lectured the drunkard. With an ogre over three meters tall, raising his arm made it nearly five meters long. Even in this two-story atrium bar, he pulled him up so high that it seemed to touch the ceiling, sobering even the most drunken patron.
“Stop it, you ogre! Do you think the garrison will just sit by and watch?”
He shouted at Kelly. Kelly looked at Andy with a shrug and laughed.
“A drunk who tried to assault a woman sure has some nerve.”
“That’s right… remember this, human scum. In Celesta, ogres can become soldiers or even elite troops like constables. Our Arnie might even become an ace knight one day. Here, we hate idiots more than half-elves and ogres!”
With that, Kelly grabbed the drunkard by his head and threw him out of the window.
The man flew through the wooden lattice as Kelly struck a muscular pose right after throwing him.
The sheer force impressed everyone so much they couldn’t help but clap.
“Hmph, worthless scum… hey Isaac, let’s break this sword.”
“Don’t. We’ll pay for the drinks and give it to your wife.”
“Ah, it’ll probably be about half of today. …Alright, let’s drink!” “Yeah!” Andy and Kelly got excited and started drinking at the counter, only to get scolded by the barmaid right away. She said that they were silly kids who didn’t even need to break a window, but her voice was slightly gentler than when she had been watching them from the side with Ernie. “Sorry, Sylvia-chan. Next time I’ll call for bodyguards during the day too.” “Yes…” Sylvia clung onto Ernie’s hand like she was seeking protection, blushing furiously as she fell in love again. Even the insensitive barmaid finally realized who Sylvia’s “boyfriend” was. She had no idea that a beautiful girl like Sylvia would have an ogre boyfriend with such a rugged face. ”…Anyway, you there, young ogre, you’ll catch cold if you stay all wet.” “Oh, it’s nothing really.” “Don’t be shy. There’s nobody using Room 3 on the second floor today, so go dry yourself off in there. Towels are in the closet.”
“H-Huh?” “Sylvie, help me out here.” “What…?” This was the best she could do. She winked at him playfully. The second floor of the tavern was half open and half a brothel. Soldiers like Andy, who loved to drink but were weak against it, often passed out there, though it was technically supposed to be for lovers’ trysts. In this simple room, Arnie was being undressed and wiped down by Sylvie. “…Arnie’s really big.” “O-Of course he is!” “Yeah. He looks so strong.”
“From an ogre.” “…Yeah. I love you, Ernie—even as an ogre.” “Ugh…” Ernie turns bright red; he’s always at a loss for words when faced with Sylvia’s straightforward affection. Smiling at him, Sylvia confesses her feelings without any pretense or evasion: “You saved me again.” “I-I just did what I could,” Ernie stammers. “But it made me so happy. You’re always there to protect me when I’m in danger. It made my heart skip a beat.” “Heh…I left everything up to Isaac and Smisson, though.” “Both of them were really angry on your behalf.”
“…Yeah. I’m glad I’m not alone, and that I joined this team,” “Yes. Arnie-kun, it’s good you’re here.” Silvia hugs Ernie, who is standing on her knees with his head at about the height of a person. “I’m so happy you came to help me… I’m really glad I met you…” “Miss Silvia?” “…I was scared. Really, really scared. But Arnie-kun saved me. I love you so much… I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world!” “…Me too, I feel happy.” “Yes… say it. Say that you love me…” “I… love you, Miss Silvia…” “Say it properly. Say ‘I really love you.’”
“I love you, Sylvia,” “Then…” “I love you too.” “…♪” Sylvia shuddered. He had confessed his love to her first. From such an ideal man. Just being loved by him was the greatest joy as a woman, and her core grew hot and wet with pleasure. Ernie found Sylvia so cute that he held her close. The two wrapped their bodies around each other, still growing in affection like a snowball rolling down a hill. It was a blissful moment.
“…mm”
A while later, Sylvia pulls away. And at that moment, they both notice the seam of his sleeve is slightly torn. “Ah…” “Was it from when you pulled me earlier?” “I guess so.” Ernie thinks for a moment. Actually, despite appearances, he’s quite handy with a needle and thread. He was going to suggest fixing it enough to let her leave without anyone noticing, but just then Sylvia nods and suddenly starts undressing. “What…? S-Sylvia-san, if you’re going to take off your clothes, I’ll go out—” “No way!” Sylvia stops Ernie from getting up in a hurry. He obediently sits back down with his eyes closed as she climbs onto his lap while still in her underwear and pulls open her eyelids with both hands.
“Nwahh, b-because!”
“Ernie-kun, listen to me. Look at me.”
“…………”
“We’re lovers now, aren’t we? We’ve been lovers for three months already… …Is it okay if I look?”
“U…”
Ernie looks over cautiously toward Sylvia.
He blushes even more as he sees her beautiful and defenseless lingerie-clad form, his eyes darting around nervously.
“Yes…”
“…Ernie-kun. I think it’s alright now.”
“What?”
“I thought it would be okay if I became just yours today, Ernie. …No, that’s not right. It’s not ‘okay’; I want to become yours. I really want you to love me more than anyone else.”
”…Silvia-san?”
“Do you hate me? Can’t we do this together?”
“B-but, I’m an ogre…”
“It’s okay. I’m human too.”
“N-no, I mean it doesn’t make sense.”
“I understand everything. I know that you’re a different species from me. And I know that maybe you don’t find me attractive from your perspective either. But still, I like you. I want to be loved by you.”
“T-there’s no way! From my point of view too, Silvia-san is really… attractive. But, would it just be a bother for you in life if it was with me?”
“Ugh!” Silvia lost her patience.
Sylvia knew that Arnie loved her, and it was clear from everything but his words. However, he was just too kind and considerate to think that he could ever defile her. Then, “Arnie-kun, I’m sorry!” “Eh…!? What!?” She pulled down Arnie’s underwear, exposing the erection inside. It popped out, a relatively small size compared to his large body. “Wah…” “Hehe. …I mean it this time.” After teasing him with an evil smile at his flustered expression, Sylvia took hold of his member and began stroking it with both hands.
I’m not a stranger to seeing Ernie’s dick. A few months ago, when he had sustained serious injuries all over his body, I’d even forced myself to help him urinate out of a sense of responsibility. So, I wasn’t completely embarrassed facing it now. But this was the first time handling it with sexual intent, and things weren’t going as smoothly as I hoped. “Ugh… like… this…?” “Silvia…” “I’m sorry, I’m not very good at this… I’ve never done this before… but I really mean it!” Desperation made Silvia put her mouth on Ernie’s dick. She knew there was such a technique, but she only had knowledge of how to rub it with her hands and didn’t know what to do next. Looking up, she saw that Ernie looked confused. Not because he found it pleasurable or anything like that; rather, he just couldn’t figure out how to react to Silvia’s actions. “…Do you understand? I really love Ernie-kun. I can keep licking your dick as much as I want, but…” “But what?”
“…Sorry, but I don’t really know what to do… But I want you to love me truly… I want you to take me.”
“…I mean, ‘take’…”
“Can you really take me?”
Sylvia’s sexual knowledge couldn’t keep up with her actions as she openly raised the white flag.
In its place, she had made up her mind.
“I want you to grab my body and shove your dick inside of me. I want you to treat me like a tool for rubbing your cock. And I want you to come in me over and over.”
“S-Such…”
“If it tears… do that. If you really love me, then do it…”
Sylvia was truly driven by this sense of urgency.
She didn’t care if she got hurt here. As long as she could be connected with Arnie like this. She wanted to prove herself as a woman and connect more deeply with him in his manly way.
Ernie’s growing affection for her was overwhelming, and she desperately wanted to consummate their love with him in a near-panic. “…Silv, Bia…san” “…” And then, “…Really, I’m gonna do it? I am a guy, you know?” Under the mounting pressure from Silvia, Ernie finally began to loosen his restraint. “Yes.” “And even though I look like this, I have a huge interest in women. If you let me, I might do some really amazing things every time we go on a date,” he said with desire that made her shiver. She was so happy she could cry, no longer fearing the terror of not being able to express her love or having it rejected. “…Do something amazing. Let me experience something amazing every week♪”
“…………Ugh, I don’t know anymore.” “I don’t know either…♪” They discarded their undergarments and removed all clothing. Now they revealed everything to each other. Their hearts and bodies were completely exposed. Silvia spread her arms wide and accepted Arnie’s hands.
“Yes, there… It’s wet…” “It’s been wet… I’ve been waiting for you to hold me, Arnie-kun… I’ve been trying so hard to get ready for your cock…” “……Haa… Haa… Kuh…” “…Yes, it’s okay. You can enter me. Do whatever you want…”
“Yes, do what you like…”
“S-Sylvia, saa!!” Silvia’s waist and legs were grabbed by both hands, her legs spread apart as Ernie pressed his hips against hers. Though he was careful with the strength of his grip, Orga’s powerful arms tore through her hymen in one swift motion rather than slowly stretching it open. “Nkua…!!” “…Haa… haa… This is so… hot and… pleasurable…” “…Yeah, I can feel Ernie-kun inside me too…” Ernie’s penis was surprisingly small compared to his massive body. It was larger than the average human’s but still rather small for an Orga. However, this worked out well for both of them. Even when he inserted it all the way to the base, Sylvia wasn’t damaged. He could pull and thrust deeply with full force. And since Sylvia was relatively light and small compared to Ernie, she shook vigorously from his movements. As a virgin himself, Ernie had never experienced sex before, so he got lost in the pleasure of being inside a woman for the first time and kept using Sylvia without restraint.
“Uwa, ah, ahh… Agu, ah, …Shirubia-san… It’s so good, I can’t stop… Sorry, sorry… Sorry…!”
“Aa, aa, hyaa, aaa, aaa!! Hi, i, iaahh!!”
Both of them were beyond reason from the moment of penetration. Overwhelmed by their experience, they continued to be shaken for Arnie’s ejaculation.
“…Ha, ahh… Nn, ah… Aah♪”
Even so, Sylvia had a happy expression on her face. As a woman, she was undoubtedly satisfied by Arnie, who was the ideal man she wanted.
“Aaah, aa, ah… Uaah!!”
Arnie was lost in ecstasy. He could think of nothing but ejaculation now. And he slammed Sylvia’s hips against his own.
He slammed his head into her womb. “Uaaaaaahhh!” “Haa, aah… ah, ah… aahh, naah♪” Cum spurted out in a huge orgasm.
“…I really did it…♪” “I-I’m sorry…” “…Don’t apologize or I’ll get mad.” “…………S-Sorry…” “Hey!” Ernie’s cheeks were smacked with a loud snap.
「…Mm.」 And she kissed Arnie to silence him. “Am I… your girlfriend, Arnie?” “Yes.” “Aren’t girlfriends allowed to do naughty things with each other?” “Well, if you put it that way, then yes, I suppose we are.” “But let’s make sure to pick a proper place first.” “Yes.” “And be gentle.” “Yes.”
“I want to do it roughly.” ”…That’s hard.” “It’s not. Arnie can only be gentle, if you just leave him alone.” ”…I guess so.” “Yep!”
“Hey Smisson.” “What is it Isaac?” ”…Do you think they’re doing it?” ”…No, I vote for them having a sweet talk.” “I vote for the one throwing a meaty feast.”
*Correct answer: Both.
“Damn, I’m pissed no matter what.”
“…I’ll bully you both when we get back.”
“I’ll bully you too.”
The waitress smacked each of them on the head with a tray.
“Are you guys military men who make it your job to ruin other people’s happiness?”
“N-no! This is our right!”
“Damn it, if someone’s happy, they should be bullied so everyone else can feel a little better!”
“I’m an idiot for getting excited about how well the two of you did.”
“Even if I was the one who got excited.”
“Hey.” “…Pay up. Now, in full.” ‘I’m really sorry.’ This was a month before Selen’s arrival.
