Femboy + Pervert + Super-Pervert = Hero Party
In the audience chamber, packed with people, everyone had frozen in place—everyone except Freesia, who stood there beaming without a care. I couldn't speak for the others, but for me, everything from Freesia's true identity down to her attitude had come as such a shock that I'd turned to stone.
"Why on earth would a princess become a panty thief?"
It was Valeri's question that finally broke the frozen silence.
"Well, nothing says a princess can't be a panty thief~"
"Everyone is forbidden from becoming a panty thief!"
God knows I was curious too about why Freesia had become a panty thief in the first place... but there was clearly no sane answer coming. Better to just move past this part entirely.
"Is this church you mentioned far from here?"
I decided I'd rather continue the conversation with Lord Org instead.
"It is not particularly far. If you proceed in a straight line from here, you will enter the Elven Forest and find it shortly after. There is no need to travel as deep as the Elf Kingdom itself."
The moment Lord Org finished answering, Freesia butted in.
"Since we're heading into the Elven Forest anyway, let's go all the way in! I'll give you the grand tour of the Elf Kingdom!"
"Are you not still a wanted fugitive within the Elf Kingdom?"
"Oh, come on~ That's all ancient history. My big sister's probably forgiven me by now."
At Freesia's brazen confidence, Valeri froze up all over again. Before another awkward silence could settle in, Lord Org continued his explanation.
"Ahem, ahem. We refer to it as the Elf Kingdom, but the elves themselves have never formally declared a nation. In other words, 'the Elf Kingdom' is simply a label of convenience. Our own Zortia, which maintains friendly relations with them, recognizes the region around the Great Tree Forest as elven territory, and we call it the Elven Forest. So I would ask that, once you enter the forest, you take every care to avoid any... complications."
Lord Org let the sentence trail off there. It was presumably meant as a warning to be respectful in a foreign land, but to my ears it sounded like: keep Freesia from causing an incident.
"We shall discuss the finer details of the plan at a later date! For tonight, a banquet has been prepared in honor of you, Lord Hero, and your companions!"
Lord Org hastily wrapped up the conversation.
That 'companions' at the end... that includes Freesia as part of our party already, doesn't it?
"Now then! A toast to welcome the Hero! Cheers!"
Lord Org's family, our party, and a handful of the people from the audience chamber gathered around a long table. Freesia was included among us. She was a companion now, after all...
True to the word 'banquet', the long, broad table was utterly buried under a mountain of food. Assorted meat dishes, breads of every kind, soups and stews, even fruits and vegetables. Faced with a level of hospitality I'd never received before, Valeri and I offered our thanks again and again.
The banquet proceeded with Lord Org laughing heartily and exchanging pleasantries with each of us in turn. We were introduced to the members of his family present at the table, and given a brief overview of the territory as well.
As the territory introduction wound on, the other guests at the banquet were introduced to us as well. From what I gathered, they were the high-ranking powerholders of the region.
While I was absorbed in Lord Org's stories, Valeri, seated beside me, was being mercilessly tormented by Freesia, seated beside her.
If those two had swapped seats, I'd have been double-teamed by both of them at once. My heartfelt thanks to Valeri for enduring it alone.
As Lord Org's stories drew to a close, it became my turn to talk. It seemed my status as the Hero was already accepted, so there was no longer any need for the amnesia lie. And so I honestly told them that I had come from another world.
Unsurprisingly, everyone's eyes went wide. But the most shocked of all was...
"Eeeek! For realsies?!"
Freesia.
"Is that world of yours full of cute, squishy men like you, Hero? That's basically heaven!"
"No... I got a new body too. Even back in that world, a body like this wasn't exactly common."
"So then... a place where I can see you and touch you, Hero... this is heaven...!"
"Do not lay a finger on the Hero."
Valeri firmly pushed back the face Freesia had thrust toward me.
The mention of my new body drew keen interest from the others as well. Naturally—once I'd admitted to coming from another world, all eyes were bound to turn to my story.
I gave a brief account of the world I'd lived in, and explained that an unknown goddess had granted me this new body.
As for my conversations with that damned goddess, or any of the details thereof... absolutely not. I would rather die.
Wine had also been prepared for the banquet. The servants refilled your glass the instant you emptied it, but I only drank a little, so mine got topped up about once.
The one drinking most of the wine was Valeri.
"Valeri, you're so cooold~ Do you hate me or something?"
"I would say... that is likely... shortly..."
In the gaps of her conversations with Freesia, Valeri seemed to be drowning her aggravation in that wine.
"Why, though?"
"Why, you ask... Because of your words and your conduct. It is not... fine... with me! And your behavior is unbearably rude, especially toward the Hero!"
"What did I even do?!"
"Theft." "Insolent remarks." "Sexual harassment." "You get far too close!"
Valeri and I spat the accusations out like a machine gun volley.
"Hnn... so I'm in trouble just for saying I want to touch the Hero?"
"That in itself is an insolent remark and an insolent act."
"But~ look how cute and pretty and squishy he is? Who wouldn't want to give those cheeks a squeeze? Valeri, you're telling me you've never touched them?"
"I have never touc... ah..."
Ah...
It wasn't so much touching...
...as grabbing, wasn't it...
GLUG-GLUG-GLUG-GLUG!
Unable to finish her sentence, Valeri downed her freshly poured wine in one go.
Whether it was because of Freesia or because of my revelation, the raucous banquet eventually came to an end. Valeri and I returned to that same luxurious room from earlier.
Freesia had apparently been assigned a different room, and was escorted elsewhere on the way back. Mercifully, she didn't throw a tantrum about following us.
"Haaah... that gathering was awkward enough as it was, and Freesia just made it all the more exhausting."
"Tell me about iiit..."
Huh? Valeri's speech and voice are acting weird?
"Goodness graaaciouuus..."
Just as I turned to look back, Valeri's hands caught my cheeks from behind. And in that position, she began kneading them.
"Va-Valeri?"
"The Hero's cheeks.... they really do squish, don't theyyyy..."
W-wait a second...! This warm feeling spreading through my body... especially my lower half...!
Resonance! Valeri's starting to feel it!
"These cheeksss... I want to... hehehehehe..."
This woman got drunk and completely lost all self-control! I knew she was drinking too much!
Ah... it's rising... the resonance is coming through loud and clear...
I have to stop Valeri from remembering last night! I can't have her shoving it in my mouth again!
"Va-Valeri! Get a hold of yourself! We promised to hold back!"
"Hold baaack...?"
That voice, so melted it had stopped being a voice entirely... There was no bringing her back to her senses now, was there?
First things first, I carefully pried Valeri's hands off my cheeks. That was when something pressed against the top of my rear.
This is...
...a cock...!
Valeri was pressed flush against my back, which meant her futanari cock was pressed against my rear.
Ugh... my lower belly's heating up...! Damn that goddess...! This cursed passive...!
I tried desperately to focus my mind and keep my sanity, the way I always did. But even through it, I couldn't stop my own cock from hardening.
"Herooooo..."
Valeri pressed her hips even closer against me. And then she began to move, slowly, back and forth.
"Do-don't grind on me...!"
Even through our clothes, I could feel it—long, and heavy. A strange sensation I'd never felt before. Something long and thick slid along the crease of my rear and pressed into it.
Cock... don't grind it on me...!
Sluuurp...
I felt something start to leak out of me. And it wasn't just the pre-cum from my cock.
"Hwah?!"
As I felt that flow for the first time in my life, something clicked in my head and a chill ran down my spine.
This is my last chance to stop this!
I swiftly peeled myself away from Valeri, flung open the door, and shoved her out into the corridor.
"Heroooooo...?"
"Knight Valeri!"
"Hwah?! K-Knight Errant Valeri, preshent!"
At my shout, Valeri snapped to attention, her face desperately straining to bring her swimming eyes back into focus.
"You will now run one hundred laps around the courtyard or the gardens—wherever you like...! Dismissed!"
"Y-yesh ma'am! At onsh!"
Valeri staggered off down the corridor on wobbly legs, scrambling as fast as they would carry her.
I survived...
I closed the door and let out a long breath of relief. Thanks to that chill down my spine and Valeri being dispatched far away, the heat in my body seemed to be settling as well. Sending her out had been partly to stop my own arousal from climbing any further. But right now, checking that 'leaked something' took priority.
No way... it couldn't be... could it?
I carefully lowered my trousers and underwear. Then, with trembling care, I touched my rear—my hole.
Slick...!
I confirmed it with my own two hands—that slippery, transparent liquid smeared around my hole had gotten onto my fingers too.
Don't tell me...! The passive!
I immediately pulled up the passive I suspected most.
NEW! (Lv4): Your anus now produces its own lubricant.
IT WAS THIS! IT WAS THIS ALL ALAAAONG!!
My own ass was now capable of producing that fluid you only ever see in erotic manga.
If... if Valeri had pounced on me while I was like this... then I would have...
I would have...
I stared at the love juices on my fingers. A faint warmth bloomed in my lower belly, and I felt my hole give a little twitch.
No!
I hastily wiped my hand and my rear with the tissues in the room, and pulled my trousers back up.
It cannot happen! Absolutely not!
I will NOT have my back door split open by a futanari cock!
==============================================
The next morning, I found myself back in the audience chamber alongside Valeri—who was suffering miserably from her hangover—and Freesia, who was as wired as ever.
Amid all the solemnity, I was presented with a sword said to have been sent down from the Royal Capital. A pure white blade, from tip to hilt. It felt a touch heavy for me to swing.
"Then I, Raiking Org, Lord of this territory, hereby declare the commencement of the Holy Sword ritual. We shall await the safe completion of the Holy Sword by you, Lord Hero, and your companions!"
And so it was that
the femboy Hero, growing lewder by the day through his passive,
the pervert knight whose cock sprang up at every idle moment,
and the panty-thief elf with wandering hands even for her own sister,
became the Hero Party.
