Still, fuck, at least they're feeding me some proper food, so it's not bad.
Oily meat sliding down my throat felt pretty damn good. Winia kept grinning at my face the whole time. You can't spit in the face of a smiling person, and she looked so happy that I didn't even feel like complaining.
Back home, I used to keep a cat, and watching it eagerly eat whatever I gave it always put me in a weirdly good mood. Winia was probably feeling something similar.
"Is it tasty, blackie?"
"...Woof."
"Kyahahahat!"
Yeah, as long as you're happy.
I couldn't say shit when she was enjoying it so much, fuck.
We've already mixed bodies, so I couldn't treat her harshly anyway.
What can you do with a woman built like that?
"...You're not upset, right, blackie?"
Guess my displeasure showed on my face anyway.
Winia suddenly asked while looking at me.
"Woof."
Not really bad.
"For real?"
"Woof."
"For real for real?"
"...Woof."
"Blackie. If you're lying, you're dead. Be honest. I'll forgive you if you tell the truth. You're not upset, right? You're not forcing yourself to play along just to humor me when you're actually pissed, are you?"
No, why is she so persistent?
Well, it's probably all just her anxiety spilling out.
I chuckled and answered again.
"Woof."
"...I see."
Like I said, it wasn't something I hated.
"Thanks, blackie. For putting up with my bullshit."
Winia said with a lonely smile. Her mood swings were impossible to predict, but that's just who she was from the start. She probably had some kind of mental issue. I could understand that now.
We finished eating and headed outside.
Now I just wanted to get back to Cloude. Staring at Winia's bursting chest up close had stirred up my lust. My dick had been swollen like a balloon for a while already.
The only one who could relieve this raging urge was Cloude.
I was wondering how to say goodbye using just the word "woof," when Winia came close and grabbed my wrist.
"Let's go, blackie. We're going on a date today, just the two of us."
"..."
Was she talking about a murder date or something?
Winia pulled me along by the wrist... Fine, I'd hang out with her a bit longer today. I silently let her lead me. And so we walked down the street.
Anyone who saw us would mistake us for some bizarre couple.
I hoped I didn't run into anyone I knew...
It'd be a problem if Kobson popped up out of nowhere.
"...Me."
While walking in silence, Winia spoke first.
"I'd do anything blackie asks."
I wanted to reply, but expressing my feelings with just one syllable like "woof" was practically impossible. I just mumbled.
"Ah, fuck. Blackie, just talk normally in moments like this. Do I have to spell everything out for you? Why are you so spineless? Just read the room, read the damn room."
"Ah, alright."
"...So. Blackie. Got any plans for today?"
"Nothing specific. It was a free day anyway."
My only plans were training and then Cloude.
"Then no problem with a date?"
"Date makes it sound weird, but yeah. Do whatever you want. You said you'd make it worth my while with puppy stuff, so I'll follow."
"Blackie's so damn sweet. Thanks."
After that, we chatted lightly as we moved, her mood a bit calmer. I had no clue what guys and girls did for dates in this isekai fantasy world, but Winia seemed more familiar with the city than I thought and led me around.
And the place we arrived at was some women's clothing store.
Bad memories surfaced.
"Why are you freezing up?"
She dragged my hesitating ass inside.
The store was pretty spacious inside. All sorts of clothes on display, flashy enough to rival modern stores in variety. Women really love shopping for clothes, huh? Even at this hour, there were quite a few customers.
All of them women.
Instantly, all eyes focused on me.
"...Fuck."
The women staring at me started whispering. The shop assistants looked troubled but didn't chase me out, probably because I was with a woman.
"Blackie, sit here for a sec."
"D-Don't leave me alone."
"Embarrassed to be left alone in a place like this?"
"I'm fucking embarrassed, so please stay with me. Yeah?"
Chatting with Winia kept the suspicious stares at bay somewhat, but even I had my limits on enduring that.
"It's fine, it's fine. No one's saying anything. Answer when I call. Got it?"
With that announcement, Winia strode deep into the store.
She carefully picked out a few clothes, then slipped into a curtained changing room. Suddenly left alone, I just hung my head, praying this awkward time would pass quickly.
"What the hell is that...?"
"Did he come with that mage earlier?"
The whispers started right after Winia disappeared. Glancing over, they were both in robes—mages, apparently.
"He looks so vicious..."
"God, look at his hair..."
I thought they'd stop there, but they kept gossiping, pissing me off, so I lifted my head and glared at the two bitches.
"Kyaa, kyak!"
They screamed and bolted outside.
...Yeah, my resting bitch face is kinda killer.
I sat back down and waited for Winia.
"Blackie."
"Hm?"
Then Winia's voice came from inside the changing room curtain. "Come here." It was muffled, so I approached and leaned in.
"What'd you say?"
"..."
—Swish!
"Eek!"
Suddenly, a small hand shot out through the curtain gap, grabbed my arm, and yanked me in. Caught off guard, I got pulled into the changing room... Wait, no way!
Just me and Winia alone in the changing room!
I can't accept this development!
"What the hell are you...!"
"Blackie, shut your trap and stay quiet."
Thankfully, Winia was still in her robe. I tried to leave immediately, but she shoved me against the wall. The impact made me slump down. Looking down at me, she said,
"Stay there. Just like that."
"Hey, what the fuck are you... Oh."
—Rustle.
Winia took off her robe.
Her underwear-clad figure was fully revealed.
The red bra was so scant for her size that it barely covered half her bursting breasts, and the panties wrapping her slim waist, wide hips, and below were seductively designed.
It looked just like the kind of lingerie Cloude bought to please men. With her voluptuous body on display, Winia looked down at me and said,
"...If you just say you like it right now."
"What is this..."
"I'll do anything."
She knelt, took my hand, and pressed it to her chest. Heat from her breast transmitted through my fingertips. Oda Nobunaga would've fallen for Hideyoshi in this state, no doubt.
"Everything."
She blatantly started rubbing my hand on her breast. The soft flesh yielded wildly. Seeing that, even though I'd resolved to hold back, my desire surged.
"Huh? Blackie. Can't you just say you like it once? I've put in so much effort here, right? This is the first time I've done this for anyone. You're the only one."
"..."
"I know my tits are bigger than normal girls'. I know the kind of looks I get. But you're the same, right? Blackie? You always stared at my chest, not my face."
She spoke almost pleadingly. That Winia going this far. This was her dead-set on seducing me, no escape.
"That means... you want to touch them, right? Blackie, I like it too."
What the hell was I supposed to say? It felt unreal that Kim Katt was agonizing over a woman. Teletubbies might as well show up. Amid the confusion, I picked my words.
Winia had hurt me a lot, but I didn't want to hurt her now. Total grass-fed Kim Katt couldn't be harsh to a girl who liked him. So I...
"I'll let you do whatever. Yeah? Just for today. Do whatever I say today. I won't tell anyone. It'll just be... our little secret. Yeah?"
It was pure rampage.
Winia clung to me as she spoke.
"...Say something. Do you hate me? Rejecting me because of all the shit I've put you through? Blackie, I'm really sorry. But even so, I... you..."
To Winia's passionate confession, I finally spoke.
"I don't hate you, Winia. Honestly, the stuff you did to me doesn't even bother me anymore. It's just... I have Cloude, so I can't accept your feelings."
"...Even if that girl says it's okay?"
"I'm not okay with it."
"Why do you think that way? Huh? If everyone's fine, isn't it fine? I'm begging you like this. Blackie, please. Please, I'm begging. Just say you like it once. That's all."
Going as far as seducing with her body meant she'd thrown pride out the window. Winia started crying again. I'd been seeing her cry a lot lately.
Sobbing, she said,
"I'm going this far... My tits. Do whatever you want. Not just that. Like that time, like that time... me..."
"Sorry."
"...!"
What else could I say besides apologize?
I patted Winia's trembling back.
After a while, she calmed down and stood up.
"You okay now?"
"..."
But Winia's expression as she looked at me was strange.
That odd look suddenly shifted to realization, then she started glaring at me. Not bipolar or anything, but her emotions were a storm changing by the second.
"No, blackie."
"Hm?"
"Why was it okay back then but not now?"
"What?"
With her face scrunched up like usual, Winia declared boldly.
The tearful sadness from moments ago was completely gone.
What the hell.
"Blackie. I'll be straight. You gotta take responsibility. You have to. You took my first time so roughly, and now that you're done, you're gonna run? Is that it?"
Winia said sharply.
"Wh-What? Th-That's not... That was...!"
No, back then!
You seduced me first! And I was mentally wrecked because of Cloude!
...Huh?
Thinking about it that way, I felt like total trash.
Wait. Am I the one in the wrong here?
"Haa... You're so irresponsible, blackie! Fucking asshole, really. Blackie. Don't you have any sense of responsibility? Huh? Do you?"
"C-Calm down!"
"Take responsibility! Take it!"
I clamped my hand over Winia's ranting mouth.
Responsibility.
Yes, responsibility.
A woman I'd spent one night with was demanding I take responsibility! As a man, dodging that was absurd, and common sense dictated following the woman's lead here.
I'm screwed.
Where did I go off the rails?
I was a man without any code!
This made me no man, no macho...! It felt like my whole life was being denied... That window! That responsibility!
"W-Winia... C-Calm down and put your clothes on first, yeah?"
"...You'll take responsibility?"
"I will! I will, so calm down!"
At that, Winia grabbed her robe, put it on, and wiped her tears. Then she headed straight out of the changing room. Panicking, I followed her out.
"Ring up the stuff I tried on earlier. I'm wearing it."
"Ah, the underwear?"
"And these too."
Winia was checking out with an armful of clothes. I felt like I'd fallen into a trap. After paying, she shoved the clothes at me.
"Hold these."
"Hey, you. Just now."
"Blackie. Woof."
She flashed a bright smile.
I held the bags and chased after Winia.
