The Fairies' Playful Farewell
I carefully supported the fairies playing by tugging on both sides of my horns with my hands and said, “You’re playing so hard. Is my head safe?”
“Perfect timing. Look here. Did a hole appear?”
“Where?”
As I looked down from the air to see where he was pointing, a round hole had formed between strands of black hair. “There’s a small hole.”
“Right? Ah, these little rascals. I told them to stop pulling.”
“But it’s fun!”
“I like oppa’s hair!”
The fairies who had been playing with my horns shouted at Gwangnam. Judging by the force with which they tugged on the horns, it was impressive that only that much of Gwangnam’s hair had been pulled out.
“Wait a moment. This should help with recovery.”
I gathered essence on my fingertip and rubbed it into the holed area, letting it absorb. Essence specialized in recovery would restore the damaged hair follicles and cells to some degree, helping the hole close quickly.
“There, all done.”
“Essence is all well and good, but can’t you do something about the sexual arousal?”
He spoke in a troubled tone, and though I hadn’t put much essence into it, his member was standing fully erect and angry between his legs.
“It’s an inherent trait of the succubus species. What can I do?”
“The sexy noona came, so it stood up again!”
“Are you going to do that ‘pyut pyut’ thing again?”
“Ah, no. Kids, don’t say things like that.”
“Surely… you’re not doing that sort of thing with child-like fairies, are you?”
“Of course not. They’re just teasing.”
“Be careful when draining fluids, just in case.”
“I said I’m not! No masturbation allowed, I tell you!”
Ehe, so his wives have forbidden him from masturbating. I wished him luck as he was already firmly under their thumbs, then flew up to catch the fairies who had hidden themselves.
By the third day, quite some time had passed and the fairies’ requests had quieted down a little, but the party was just as exhausted and moved with difficulty. Before the fourth day arrived, while the four team members, worn out from the fairies’ antics, gathered in a corner of the residential area at the center of the habitat to rest, Ruya—who had disappeared somewhere with the fairy king—appeared naked and said, “I got fairy fruits. Four of them, even.”
She took out round, fist-sized fruits glowing with golden light from the subspace bag she carried and showed them to us. They radiated a clear, pristine aura at a glance, clearly precious fruits. Seeing the golden fruits sparkling in the sunlight, Gwangnam, who had been sprawled out in exhaustion, sprang up with wide eyes and said, “Huh? It’s only been three days and you already got them?”
“Hohoho, the fairy king is older, so he’s definitely an adult. I received them through adult negotiations.”
Ruya winked and made a gesture of inserting and removing her thumb between her index and middle fingers. Since we had already seen everything there was to see and Ekaterina had revealed the relationship between Ruya and me, there was no holding back.
“Well done! As expected of the beauty trap! Haa~ Thank goodness. If it had gone on longer, I would’ve gone bald.”
“I was worried your hair would all fall out, dear.”
“Let’s depart before we suffer any more, nya.”
“Still, let’s at least say goodbye before we go.”
Gwangnam, Ekaterina, and Charlotte all stood up brushing off their bottoms, completely naked. The party had given up on wearing clothes since the mischievous fairies would just steal them with their magic anyway, so everyone was nude. On top of that, I stood out even more in my succubus form. Still, compared to their initial reactions upon first seeing my succubus appearance, they had become much calmer.
Ruya approached me as I floated in the air and slapped my butt, saying, “You look cool no matter when I see you.”
“Good work.”
“The technique you taught me last time was a huge help. He couldn’t come to his senses at all? Hehe.”
“Hey! Get ready to leave! I’ll go tell them we’re going!”
“Got it!”
While Gwangnam headed to the center of the village, the rest of the party packed the luggage they had brought and the small gifts the fairies had given them. Among the gifts I received, the most numerous were small, pretty flowers, along with strange unidentified insects and seeds. The fairies had handed over whatever they grabbed while playing tag, so the gifts were a random assortment. There were even ordinary round pebbles. Still, since they were gifts, I carefully packed every single one into my subspace bag without exception.
The one with the most unique gifts was Charlotte. I asked her as she pondered over the floor covered with animals of all sizes, “Where did all these animals come from?”
“I hunted them, nya.”
“Ah, so you went hunting with the fairies.”
“These guys were eating the tree fruits that are the fairies’ staple food, causing trouble, nya.”
She had gone hunting with the fairies around the outermost edges of the habitat. Once the dangerous carnivores were driven away by the fairies and disappeared, the herbivores had multiplied rapidly, creating a problematic situation. So that’s why we hadn’t seen her.
“Since fairies don’t eat meat, they’re hard to deal with, nya.”
“There are too many to take with us.”
There were far too many to fit in Charlotte’s subspace bag. I racked my brain and came up with a plausible solution. “Then why not just bury them in the ground?”
“When am I supposed to dig, nya.”
“Hmm….”
Digging the ground… Aha. “Ruya! Do you still have those stones for making portable toilets?”
“Huh? I still have plenty of spares, why?”
“To bury the animal carcasses.”
Ruya, who had been rummaging through her bag a little ways off, came closer at my call. Seeing the animal carcasses on the ground, she said with an incredulous expression, “How did you catch so many? Here, the portable toilet.”
“Thank you. If I use this, I can dig the ground easily, so it’ll be convenient to bury the carcasses.”
“If you’re going to do it, do it quickly. It’s too hot here, so they’ll rot fast.”
“Let’s do it right away, nya!”
When I threw the portable toilet stone a little away from the habitat, it spun and dug into the ground, creating a pit in an instant. “Wow.”
“It can also be used as a throwing weapon in dangerous situations.”
“That thing is pretty expensive, nya. The only one who would use it so recklessly is Ruya, nya.”
“How much does it matter? Let’s just deal with this quickly.”
The pit was deep enough for a person’s lower body and quite wide, perfect for burying animals. We made several more pits, stacked the animal carcasses neatly inside, and covered them with the excavated soil to finish.
“All done, nya!”
“Even with a little effort, sweat just pours down like a waterfall. Whew.”
Ruya wiping the sweat from her forehead looked attractive, her healthily tanned skin complementing the sight. Charlotte’s heavily tanned skin blended with her fur color, making her look like a brown cat. Charlotte, who had been perking up her ears and turning her head, said as she turned to leave.
Just as we finished all preparations and were about to depart, the fairies came rushing over in a crowd to say goodbye. “Bye, noonas!” “Come again next time!” “Waaah!” “Bald uncle, bye!” “I’m not bald!”
We exchanged farewells amid the fairies’ enthusiastic cheers. Among them, a particularly close fairy—the one who had played an intense game of tag with me—approached and held out his hand. “Why your hand?”
“A gift.”
“Yes?”
Caught off guard by the sudden mention of a gift, I wondered what it meant when he placed his hand on my lower abdomen and closed his eyes. I felt a warm energy seeping into my lower abdomen, and faint small wings appeared on both sides of the pattern. I asked the fairy who withdrew his hand, “What is this?”
“A fairy’s blessing! It will protect you in dangerous moments!”
“You must stay healthy!”
The fairies who had played endless games of tag with me took turns placing their hands on my lower abdomen and bestowing blessings. As the blessings overlapped, the wings grew darker until they became very clear, harmonizing with the succubus pattern.
“Thank you.”
“Let’s play again next time!”
“Bye!”
Waving back at the fairies gathered together waving their hands, I followed behind the team walking ahead. Matching my pace beside Ruya who was walking ahead quickly, she glanced back and asked, “It’s unusual for the fairies to initiate a blessing. You must have gotten quite close?”
“After being together for three days, we naturally grew close.”
When I told her about the endless game of tag relay during the three days she hadn’t met because she was dealing with the fairy king, she was shocked. “Goodness, last time it was Charlotte, and this time it’s you. Those kids are famous tag-playing maniacs.”
“Are they that famous?”
“If you search ‘the nightmare of tag’ on the internet, they’ll come up right away? They’re the kids that teams challenging for the fruits struggled with the most.”
“It’s just playing tag, isn’t it?”
In truth, it was nothing more than simple tag, so there was nothing difficult about it. The children were all kind and didn’t lie or do bad things. As if hearing our conversation, Gwangnam sidled over and said, “The problem is they keep playing tag without rest. Boredom aside, your stamina can’t handle it. You have to run through the dense jungle in this heat.”
“Now that you mention it, that’s true.”
I could fly and had near-infinite stamina as long as I had essence, but for ordinary humans, no matter how well-trained a hunter, enduring endless tag with fairies would be difficult.
“When I came for the third time….”
As if recalling past memories, he began recounting his experiences and boasting. Starting with Gwangnam’s tales of valor, Ekaterina and Charlotte also shared various enjoyable experiences. Mysterious and wondrous worlds of various dimensions, thrilling adventure stories, and even the experiences of battles that were extremely dangerous but full of thrills. Indeed, the firsthand accounts from active hunters had a sense of reality different from what I had seen on the internet.
“How is it?”
“It’s interesting. I think I understand a little why you do such dangerous hunter work.”
“Right? And if you’re lucky, like me, you can even improve your virility and gain two wives. Hahat!”
At first he had been extremely worried about being infected by a parasite, but now he seemed positive enough to call it good luck. His member, which had been limp and dangling, was now standing stiffly, exuding its presence.
“It definitely improved your virility. But direct that thing at your wives.”
“Ack! No attacking the vital spot!”
“Oh my, dear’s member belongs to us. Please stop.”
After barely dodging Ruya’s sharp palm, he fled in a hurry and hid behind Ekaterina. She reached back and fondled Gwangnam’s member. Then Charlotte stepped between them and said, “No matter if it’s Ruya, the member is off limits, nya. If you want to touch it, become the third wife, nya.”
“Ugh. I’d rather die.”
“Are you badmouthing my husband now, nya?”
“Aya! This female cat!”
While Ruya argued with Charlotte, Ekaterina, who had taken hold of Gwangnam’s member like a leash after he had become a porter, watched the chaos with a pleased expression and said, “Hohoho, it would be nice if Ruya became the third wife too.”
“I also think Ruya is a bit… But who would have imagined that the strong-willed Ruya would become the sex slave of the seemingly gentle Elisha. I never imagined it.”
“Oh my, why is your member twitching?”
“Ugh, this is an instinctive thing I can’t control….”
Gwangnam seemed to be firmly held by Ekaterina, both his member and his relationship. Laughing and chatting like that, we busily moved our feet toward the place where the gate would open. After diligently traveling while picking and eating delicious edible fruits we found along the way, we arrived at the wide pond we had encountered on the first day. And as soon as we saw the pond, there were people running toward it. “It’s the pond!” “Nya nya!”
Though everyone was naked, the sunlight was so hot and we had hurried so much that it was the same for the heat, so the two threw off their luggage and jumped straight into the water. Because of that, the small animals that had been peacefully drinking from the pond fled in surprise at the sudden splash.
“Those two got infected in this pond but don’t care at all. I wonder if they have good personalities or if they’re just dull.”
“We’ve already become infection sources and accepted it all.”
“It’s funny that you’re only asking now, but you don’t feel any aversion?”
“Hmm~ I was a little bothered at first, but there are quite a few good points, and since it allowed us to form a marital bond, it’s fine.”
“Well, it was a more docile creature than I thought.”
As they said, this parasitic organism had no effect on the host’s body other than excessive sexual desire and genital overdevelopment in the early stages of parasitism. Aside from the reproductive method where males ejaculate both sperm and larvae and females stay in the uterus before entering through the urethra, it was barely noticeable whether it was there or not.
