Swallowed by the Lavender Child
I lay sprawled on the ground after being swallowed by the lavender child, then spat back out. Brushing off the blades of grass and dirt clinging to my body, I stood up and glanced at the spot beside me where Ruya had been swallowed first. Yet Ruya, who had been devoured before me, was still inside.
“Why is it still swallowing her?”
My parasitic tentacle tail stroked the surface as I asked. It gave a slight, rippling response but showed no intention of releasing her. I ran my hand along the tail’s body, where Ruya’s shape was still clearly visible, and spoke again.
“We need to head back soon, so please spit her out now. There’s a good girl, yes?”
At my words, Ruya’s previously quiet struggling suddenly intensified before calming again. Soon after, her feet began to emerge. Even though it was midday in summer, Ruya’s body came out steaming hot, as if freshly baked. The moment she was fully expelled, I saw her face completely ruined and dazed.
“Ruya, snap out of it.”
“Huuueee……”
“Look at those glazed eyes. Just how much aphrodisiac did you feed her? You didn’t use my dosage standard, did you? Giving a normal person my dosage could cause serious trouble.”
At my scolding, the parasitic tentacle tail opened and closed its mouth in protest, then extended a small tentacle tipped with a droplet of saliva. It plunged straight into the twitching Ruya’s neck. The tiny tentacle pulsed gently as it injected some kind of fluid. Once it withdrew the needle and retreated, Ruya’s horribly slackened, obscene expression began to regain clarity.
“Heuht, Masterrr.”
“Are you coming back to your senses now?”
“I… saw heaven.”
“Was it that good?”
“Yeeess……”
From the looks of it, the excessive aphrodisiac had even induced hallucinations. To ease the faint convulsions still running through her body, I infused my hands with essence and began massaging her. As the spasms gradually subsided, the unique scent of the parasitic tentacle tail’s mucus—now drying on both my body and Ruya’s—wafted through the air.
“Ugh, I feel a bit better now. Thanks.”
“Were you surprised by the sudden predation?”
“Yeah, why did it swallow me all of a sudden?”
“My tail was trying to teach your tail about reproduction methods.”
“Aah, so that’s what it was? Well… I guess that’s fine then.”
That aside, the fact that I had blocked my own vagina with purple mucus during practice had become a problem. When I checked Ruya’s vagina with my fingers, hers was similarly sealed.
“More importantly, our vaginas are blocked. This is troublesome.”
“Ah, it really is blocked? What do we do?”
“For now, let’s reinsert the urethral plugs and head back. We’ve wasted quite a bit of time.”
“That’s right! We said we were going to the bathroom. Let’s hurry.”
Setting aside the blocked vaginal openings for the moment, we decided to return quickly. I spread Ruya’s folds, carefully reinserted her urethral plug to prevent any urine from leaking, then fixed my disheveled hair and slipped on the sandals that had been rolling in the dirt. As we pushed through the underbrush on our way back to the family, Ruya lifted her arm, sniffed herself, and asked.
“Sniff sniff. Don’t you smell something weird on your body?”
“Does it make your womb feel hot?”
“Mmm, is this from the parasitic tentacle tail?”
“Yes. It’s a nutrient solution mixed with aphrodisiac that gets absorbed into the host’s body during predation.”
“Ah, I thought so. Still, it’s weaker than when it’s fed orally. Sniff sniff.”
Ruya continued smelling the scent coming from her own body, then pressed her nose against my neck and inhaled.
“Huh? The smells are subtly different?”
“Probably because the scent on you is from my parasitic tentacle tail’s mucus, while the scent on me is from the mucus secreted by your parasitic tentacle tail.”
“Wait, why would the smell of the mucus my tail secreted be coming from your body?”
“Because I let it use my body for breeding practice.”
“What? You did? Then right now your pussy is also…?”
“Yes. It’s blocked, of course.”
Without hesitation, Ruya slipped her hand inside my swimsuit, spread my folds, and touched the hardened mucus sealing my vaginal entrance.
“It really is. Is this okay?”
“Yes. I didn’t lay any eggs. Though it did inject semen. If you touch the area around my womb, you can feel it’s a bit swollen, right?”
“Oh? It really is. Semen? So our wombs are currently filled with the parasitic tentacle tails’ cum? No wonder my lower belly felt so heavy even after I emptied my bladder.”
“That’s true, but if we leave it, the Las will absorb everything on its own. While we’re at it, let’s have it eat the mucus blocking our vaginal openings too.”
“Ooh~ That should work.”
Since the topic had come up, I conveyed my intention to Las. Receiving my will, Las manifested as mini versions of itself inside our wombs and began devouring the semen that had filled them.
“Ah, it’s eating. I can feel my lower belly slowly getting lighter.”
“Anyway, we should hurry. They’ll be worried since we’re so late.”
“You’re right. Let’s go quickly.”
We emerged from the underbrush and hurried toward the beach. As we walked side by side, my parasitic tentacle tail and Ruya’s parasitic tentacle tail twisted around each other, exchanging silent communication. When we finally returned to the shore, the family who had been waiting immediately began scolding us.
“You don’t even do big business, so why were you gone so long, nya? Did you get hunted or something, nya?”
“The bathroom line was too long, so we went into the mountain beside it to pee. That’s why we were late.”
“Just how far did you go……”
Hyungnim took a cold drink from the cooler and handed it to us as he spoke.
“Aren’t you getting hungry? Let’s go to the camper and have lunch.”
“Yes, my husband. Everyone, please get ready.”
“Okay.”
At Madam’s command, everyone picked up their belongings and moved to the camper parked near the beach. Hyungnim and I unloaded the equipment from the camper and began preparing lunch. As he took out the grill for the meat, added charcoal, and was about to light it, he looked around and asked.
“Where’s the torch? Does anyone know where it is?”
“You’re trying to light the fire? I’ll do it.”
Using draconic speech, I created a fireball and gently placed it on the charcoal. The magical flame, fueled by the dragon mana stored in the imprint on my womb, burned steadily without extinguishing.
“Ooh~ If you just leave it, the charcoal catches fire on its own? That’s really convenient.”
“There are similar magic tools, but they’re expensive, so the cost doesn’t make sense for something like this.”
“It’s a tool used when you need fire in harsh environments where it’s hard to light one, nya.”
“Hoho, here’s the meat.”
The container Madam brought out was neatly packed with high-quality beef and pork that the maids had bought before the trip, sorted by cut. Various side dishes and rice kept warm in an insulated container were also neatly arranged on the table.
With the sound of raw meat sizzling on the grill as background music, we ate lunch.
“The meat is delicious, nya!”
“Khh khh, I used my secret special seasoning.”
“Gwangnam has been good at grilling meat since he was little.”
Mm, the beef was grilled perfectly as beef, and the pork as pork. Especially impressive was how the beef had a beautifully seared exterior that locked in the juices without overcooking, resulting in perfect texture.
“The meat is amazing, nya!”
“It’s specially ordered top-grade Korean Hanwoo. We brought it in a magic refrigeration device to preserve freshness.”
“Come, come. There’s plenty of meat, so eat as much as you want.”
The amount of meat really was enormous. Just how many servings had they bought? To keep up with Charlotte and Ruya, who were devouring the meat with ferocious speed, fresh meat kept piling onto the grill without pause. Beside Hyungnim, who was sweating profusely as he focused on grilling, Madam diligently wrapped ssam and fed him.
In truth, this culture of wrapping various ingredients in fresh vegetables and eating them all at once was quite unfamiliar to me, who had grown up in a culture where vegetables and meat were eaten separately or stir-fried. When you placed meat on lettuce, added red ssamjang sauce, and topped it with white rice, the flavors harmonized surprisingly well.
“Why are you only putting meat and rice in the lettuce? You have to add garlic, pickled onions, and seasoned chives too.”
“If you put everything in at once, it gets too stimulating……”
“If you’re Korean, you have to be able to eat at least this much. Here, ah~”
Ruya, who had already finished one bowl of rice and was working on her second, apparently didn’t like how I was eating my ssam. She made an enormous fist-sized wrap and held it out to me.
“This is too big…… Ah-oom.”
“Come on, someone who easily swallows Gwangnam’s massive thing has no right to complain.”
“Uung.”
Seeing her grinning face and the slight wink, I realized she had noticed the oral service I’d given him in the car. With no choice, I chewed the ssam filling my mouth. As expected, an intensely spicy flavor that stung my entire mouth spread through it. I don’t understand why people from the Earth dimension like such spicy food so much. At least when we ate at home, Western-style dishes from Earth were also served, making it easier to eat.
Thanks to Hyungnim’s hard work grilling meat while sweating buckets, we filled our stomachs completely. After a short rest, we cleaned up and returned to the sea to play. This time, they rented a large tube for me since I couldn’t float on my own.
“With this, even Elisha can experience floating on the water.”
“If you fall in the middle, just walk out on your own, nya.”
“Please don’t deliberately push me in.”
With those two pranksters, I couldn’t be sure I wouldn’t get flipped over and dumped into the water at any moment. Still, lying on the wide tube and drifting on the sea felt incredibly pleasant. As expected, I did get briefly dunked due to their mischief, but overall it was satisfying.
While we were enjoying riding the waves, Hyungnim came into the water and approached me.
“Whew~ It’s refreshing. Ekaterina, you left your hat behind.”
“Oh my, thank you.”
“Prey spotted! Attack!”
“Take this, nya!”
“Uwaht! Pffft!”
Splash!
The moment Hyungnim appeared, a water barrage began as if they had been waiting for him. Even Hyungnim, under their concentrated attack, started splashing water back in roughly the right direction, but once again Ruya was the one who got hit.
“Kyaaak! Why me again!”
“Hup!”
“Kyaa! Water got in my ears again!”
“Husband, I’ll help you.”
“Nya! Madam’s betrayal, nya!”
Madam, who had been watching the three of them play, joined Hyungnim’s side, turning it into a 2 vs 2 battle. Although Madam was physically weak, Hyungnim’s excellent physique kept the fight evenly matched. I watched blankly, enjoying the rolling waves, and quite a while passed before the water fight finally ended.
“We won!”
“Would it kill you to let us win once? Ah, my ears hurt.”
“Madam, are you okay, nya?”
“Haa, haa. It was a bit tiring.”
“Shall we take a break?”
“Let’s do that. I need to get the water out of my ears.”
Since everyone seemed ready to get out, I climbed down from the tube and followed. We gathered under the parasol we had rented, drank water, and took a short rest. While we were relaxing, sitting or lying on the sand, Ruya, who had been staring blankly into the distance, suddenly spoke.
“Want to play beach volleyball?”
“What’s beach volleyball, nya?”
“It’s like volleyball but played on sand. It’s 2 vs 2.”
“Where would we play that, nya?”
“If you look over there, there’s a beach volleyball court. No one’s using it though.”
“That sounds fun. Let’s do it.”
“Um… Gwangnam, you’re playing too? Then we have five people, so the numbers don’t match.”
“Then I’ll sit this one out. I’d like to rest a little more.”
“Really? Then it’ll be Gwangnam, Charlotte, Elisha, and me. Four of us.”
Ruya stood up, saying she would go rent a beach ball. Wait, what about my opinion?
“What about my opinion?”
“Hm? You don’t want to?”
“It’s not that, but I don’t even know how to play in the first place.”
“It’s simple. Just make sure the ball doesn’t fall on your side of the court.”
“You can learn by doing it, nya.”
“We’re all beginners, so we don’t have to follow the rules strictly. We’re just playing for fun.”
Since it was my first time, I figured I could just enjoy it, but I still wanted detailed information. I connected to the wireless internet and searched for beach volleyball. It was more popular than I expected, with plenty of information and videos, so I was able to get a rough understanding.
After Ruya returned from the nearby rental shop with the beach ball, we decided on teams.
“How should we divide the teams? It looks like Gwangnam’s side will need a handicap.”
“This short me will team up with my husband, nya!”
“That seems like the most balanced option?”
“Then shall we do that? Gwangnam and Charlotte versus me and Elisha.”
“Good, nya!”
Even so, because he was an experienced hunter and a man, Charlotte—who was at a physical disadvantage—teamed up with Hyungnim. With Madam sitting under a parasol nearby to watch, we faced each other and began our chaotic beach volleyball match.
