The Road Back
Rumble... rumble...
Takumi and Shizuka sat side by side in the shaking carriage compartment.
"Hey... Takumi."
"Yeah?"
"Did I do good?"
"Yeah... you did good."
Takumi turned his head and answered curtly.
But Shizuka could see his cheeks flushing red.
"Ehh~ That's all? Put some more heart into it!"
"Ugh... Thanks so much Shizuka, you really worked hard this time, I love you!!!"
Takumi blurted it out like a machine gun.
Shizuka beamed with a wide, joyful smile.
"Hehe... I love you too♡"
Shizuka leaned deeply into Takumi's shoulder with a soft, relaxed expression.
Meanwhile, the coachman driving the carriage couldn't focus on the road at all.
All his attention was stolen by the top-tier female coquettishly snuggling up to Takumi.
Rumble—!!
The wheel hit a rock, jolting the carriage hard.
"Kyaa~♡"
Shizuka's plump breasts jiggled enticingly in response.
Slap—!
The flesh swayed wildly, slamming into her upper body, the firm bounce creating even bigger waves.
"Ooooh!!"
The coachman now openly turned around to ogle Shizuka.
He didn't care which way the carriage was heading.
His dick was telling him exactly where to aim his gaze.
"Mmm~ I don't like it... staring so openly like that..♡"
Shizuka wriggled her body seductively and burrowed deeper into Takumi's arms.
Takumi glared at the coachman leering lustfully at his lover.
"Ah, sorry..."
Only then did the coachman start focusing on driving again.
The road back was long.
This was the unfairness of the Female Challenge—having to come all the way to some remote borderland to respond to a challenge.
That was why they got such hefty rewards for winning.
The carriage raced on for a long time.
The blue sky had turned to a red sunset, and cool breezes slipped through the windows instead of the hot sun.
Shizuka and Takumi, pressed tightly against each other, had fallen asleep leaning together.
Soon, the carriage neared the walls of their destination, Lelian Village.
"Passengers, we've arrived."
The coachman said.
But no response came from the sleeping pair.
"Hmmm..."
With no reaction, he pulled the reins to stop the carriage and hopped down from the driver's seat to the compartment.
Creeeak...
He cautiously opened the door, revealing the two passengers fast asleep.
Especially Shizuka's figure.
Her beautifully shaped massive breasts, nipples slightly poking through the tunic fabric, asserting their presence...
He couldn't hold back.
They wouldn't know anyway. They were sleeping so deeply—why not cop a feel just once?
It was a chance to touch a top-tier female's breasts that he'd never get again in his life.
"Heh heh...!"
His dusty, filthy hand reached for her bursting bust.
Squish...! Squeeze...!
Knead knead...♡
"Whoa... insane...!!"
The soft yet sticky texture deformed in his hand however he squeezed.
Once he started groping, he couldn't stop.
"Hnn...♡"
"!!"
A faint moan escaped Shizuka's lips.
The coachman's body froze in terror.
He checked her face. Luckily, she hadn't woken.
"Phew~"
He sighed in relief, then pulled down his pants to free his rock-hard cock.
Human greed knew no bounds.
Stroke stroke stroke...! Squish...!
Squeeze...! Soft...♡
He started jerking off while savoring the feel of her breasts.
"Hoo... hoo... fuck... she's so goddamn pretty. That guy next to her is so fucking lucky!!"
Squeeze...!!
Splurt!! Spluuurt...!!!
Finally reaching climax, his hands gripped his dick and her breast tight.
The most vigorous ejaculation of his life splattered meaninglessly onto the compartment floor.
"Hah...! Hah...! Whew~!"
"Feel good?"
"!!!!!!!"
The coachman couldn't savor the afterglow.
As he slowly raised his head, the top-tier female's eyes were open.
Her face brimmed with murderous intent, freezing him solid.
"I thought it was Takumi touching me in my sleep... who the hell are you?"
Shizuka gripped the doorframe and stepped out of the compartment.
The coachman stumbled back.
"S-sorry!!! Please spare my life!!"
Shizuka fully exited the carriage and planted her feet on the ground.
Her slender body was much smaller than the coachman's.
But instinctual fear made his legs tremble uncontrollably.
"All the same. Every damn one of you pulls this shit and then begs for forgiveness."
Step... step...
Overwhelmed, the coachman tripped on a rock and fell.
"Uwaaaaaah!!!!"
"It's fine. I'll forgive you."
"R-really?"
Crunch—!
Shizuka lifted her leg and stomped her shoe heel onto the coachman's balls.
"Gaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"But you'll live as a eunuch forever?♡"
Squish... crack!
She felt something burst under her shoe sole.
The coachman couldn't even scream anymore.
"Filthy bastard."
"Shizuka...?"
Takumi, woken by the noise, called out to her.
"Takumiii~!♡♡"
Shizuka spread her arms wide and toddled over to Takumi.
"What happened...?"
"Nothing big! Just handled it like usual."
"I see..."
"Shall we go, then?"
Shizuka helped Takumi up from his seat.
As they stepped out, the massive walls of Lelian Village loomed tall in the distance.
It was evening, starting to darken, with almost no one passing by—just guards at the gate.
Shizuka and Takumi started walking toward it.
"Hum hum~ We're gonna eat something yummy with the reward, right?"
Shizuka hooked her arm through Takumi's as she said it.
"Yeah. Let's go with Aoi and Lia too."
"Tch..."
Shizuka pouted her lips.
"Sometimes I wanna eat just the two of us..."
"They'd get jealous."
"I get jealous too!"
Shizuka whipped her head away.
But she didn't let go of his arm.
"At least the seat next to you is mine!"
"Sure thing."
They walked arm-in-arm, leaning affectionately into each other, and soon reached the gate.
The gatekeepers were dozing off, heads nodding. They didn't react even as Shizuka and Takumi approached.
"Ehh~ Isn't this dereliction of duty?!"
"Let's just go through."
As Takumi and Shizuka tried to pass—
"Nooo! That smell!"
One soldier snapped his head up, suddenly alert.
His eyes locked straight onto Shizuka.
"One of the 3 Great Beauties of the Academy, Shizuka!!"
"Ahaha~ Hi♡ Mind if we go through?"
"No can do! As gatekeeper, I can't just let you pass!"
The soldier thrust his spear sideways, blocking the entrance.
Shizuka detached from Takumi's arms and sidled right up to him.
"Mmm~♡ Don't be like that, we know each other... can't you just let us in?♡"
As she spoke, she trailed her finger across the soldier's chest.
He flinched at the sudden touch.
"B-but!!"
"Let them through."
A cold, calm voice came from inside the gate.
Everyone turned to look.
A woman with snow-white, pale skin and shoulder-length blue hair stood there in a neat uniform.
Her slim waist, toned figure, and breasts as voluptuous as Shizuka's made the soldier's eyes spin again.
"Noooo!!! Another of the 3 Great Beauties of the Academy!!"
She was Takumi's other lover, Aoi.
"Aoi~ Missed me?♡"
Shizuka grinned wide and opened her arms to Aoi.
Aoi lightly ignored her and walked to Takumi.
She carefully nestled into his arms.
"I was very worried, Takumi."
Aoi's soft cheek rubbed against Takumi's chest.
"Wait! Weren't you worried about me?"
Shizuka said with a pouty face.
"You look fine. And call me Senior."
Aoi shot back without changing expression.
"Where's Lia Nuna?"
Takumi asked.
"She has class, so she couldn't come."
Aoi hugged Takumi's left arm and inhaled his scent.
Not to be outdone, Shizuka grabbed his right arm.
The soldier glared jealously at Takumi flanked by beauties on both sides.
"Tch...! Cocky bastard!"
"Let's go, Takumi."
Aoi ignored him too and led Takumi inside by the arm.
The village streets unfolded before them—stone-block pavements lined with tall buildings on both sides.
Merchants were just finishing up, packing away, while adventurers and mercenaries with weapons on their backs and hips were visible.
But all their gazes fixed on one spot.
"Hey~ Look over here, miss!"
"Fuck, those tits are huge!"
"If I could fuck a girl like that..."
Envy, jealousy, and lust poured from the surrounding stares.
But the women at Takumi's side ignored them, focused only on his body heat.
As if by prior agreement, the three walked in step toward the Academy.
