Chapter Title: [Interlude] Ristina
-----------------------------------------------------------------
In this other world, elves were a fairly major race.
From what I'd heard, they had a kingdom somewhere in a forest-like place. Even in the Schrdick Desert where Claudy had lived, there was a dark elf kingdom.
In fact, I'd seen elves back when I was in Krasheim too.
It was just that they weren't common in these borderlands. Apparently, quite a few elves blended into human society.
Naturally, there were a fair number of half-elves as well.
"A being born between an elf and a human... Yeah. I've heard they can't."
"Ever seen an elf?"
"Several times. Every one of them was beautiful."
"Well, Sis counts as an elf if you think about it."
"W-What are you saying all of a sudden..."
Elves were synonymous with beauty.
At the same time, there were plenty of rumors painting them as inhuman.
Like how they were all pretty and handsome but an irredeemable group of serial killers, or lunatics with sensibilities on another level entirely. Or that an elf wanted two hundred years ago was still out there committing murders. Weird rumors like that.
Adventurers gossiped about stuff like that all the time.
Well, they loved exaggerating, so who knew how true any of it was. I didn't know much about elves myself, so that was just my impression. Plus, the elf closest to me, Claudy, really was a ruthless woman.
"My first wife was a half-elf. A dark elf one, at that."
"A half-elf... you say?"
"As you know, half-elves can't have kids. Doesn't matter if it's a woman or a man. So... Oh, her name's Claudy. I met Claudy, and a bunch of stuff happened after."
I told Ristina about Claudy.
Half-elves couldn't have children. So she wanted me to take more wives so I could spread my seed. I didn't really care either way, but Claudy was dead set on it.
That's why I was living according to her wishes.
"That's hard to understand... Did she start thinking that way because half-elves can't have kids?"
"Pretty much."
I knew it wasn't exactly a normal story, just like Ristina's reaction. Claudy had never been ordinary to begin with... This wasn't me dunking on myself.
But what could I do?
To me, Claudy was a goddess.
"So... Katt, do you have any kids right now?"
"Nah, not yet. So give me some later, Sis. Please."
"Making requests like that on your own... You said the same to Karin, didn't you?"
"Not just Karin, to my other wives too. Ah, but Karin brought it up first, you could say."
"..."
Ristina averted her gaze and clamped her mouth shut for a moment.
"Haa... Fine. I'm in a tough spot right now anyway... Well, now that I'm your wife, I guess I have to go along with it."
After a brief silence, she stared into my eyes and spoke with resolve.
"S-Saying it like this makes me sound like some lewd woman... But I'll bear your children, Katt. How many do you want?"
"At least five?"
"F-Five...! Do you even have the money for that?!"
"I'll earn it."
"How?!"
I'd have plenty once I became a paladin. Not as an adventurer, but as a paladin—accumulating that kind of wealth wouldn't be hard.
"Here's the thing, Sis. I might be heading to the capital soon?"
"What?!"
"Got some connections with the Brass Celestial Society."
I immediately told her about the Brass Celestial Society and how the saintess had offered me a paladin position. If it went through, I'd head to the capital.
"P-Paladin...! S-So that's why you have so many women!"
She shouted in shock.
"Right?"
"No, more than that! You do this to me and then drop that bombshell?! What do you mean you're going to the capital?!"
Maybe I should've mentioned it sooner? I asked for her thoughts.
"N-No! I was planning to liquidate my assets and head to the capital after retiring anyway... B-But deciding right now is tough... Wait, what about Karin?!"
"She's selling the guild."
"What in the world! Is any of this normal?! I don't know anymore!"
Well, there was still time.
"Anyway, Sis."
"What do you mean 'anyway'?! Is this an 'anyway' kind of situation?!"
"Heh heh heh. Nothing's more important than what we're doing right now, right?"
"That's..."
I prodded Ristina's clit with my glans tip. "Ahng...!" She bit her lower lip and let out a faint moan.
"Let's learn more about each other today. Deeper this time."
"D-Deeper how..."
"I told you. We're going till morning. It might be tough, Sis, but can you hang in there? I'll try not to make it too hard on you."
"..."
"And we're gonna be together."
"...F-Fine, but don't be as rough as before."
She gave permission. I slowly pushed inside her. Her back arched right away, and she reached out to hug me.
Just till dawn.
* * *
Ristina had to open her Fighters' Guild in the morning anyway.
We couldn't stay stuck together forever. People would show up soon, and leaving then would look weird. I had to head out before sunrise.
After ravaging her till dawn, we went to the bathroom and washed up together. As expected of a big building, all the facilities were perfect—no issues there.
I washed every inch of Ristina's half-unconscious body.
"You..."
The cold water must've snapped her awake. She opened her eyes.
"You're good at washing... Feels nice..."
"I do it for my wives every day."
"Heading back now?"
"Yeah."
She was awake but showed no sign of washing herself. I lathered up soap and gently scrubbed her body. Nothing beat touching a woman's soft skin.
"If you leave now... when will you come again? Every night like you said?"
I'd said that, but I wasn't sure if I could make it every day. I'd love to live with her... but that'd take time.
"When do you want me to come?"
"...Not every day?"
"Time might not allow every day. But I'll visit often. Or you could come to me."
Of course, Ristina coming to me was an option too.
But like I said, it'd take time.
"Um... that. If I go..."
As I leisurely fondled her breasts, Ristina started to say something.
"S-Six of us... all night long..."
Her face flushed, and she rubbed her thighs together.
"What? Imagining it?"
"I-I'm not imagining! D-Doing it in a group like that is just too indecent... Haaah...!"
Sis really had a vivid imagination. She'd been playing her own drum solo, and now she climaxed again, moaning and trembling.
"Haa... And that woman Karin would be there too, right..."
"Of course Karin's there. What, you hate Karin?"
"..."
When I asked if she hated Karin, Ristina turned her head away and mumbled softly.
"I don't know... Just come as often as you can. I already... don't want to say goodbye."
"Heh heh heh. Went from one night to this obedient already?"
"I'm your woman now... You told me to do it. So I have to take responsibility too..."
Maybe the night was too intense for her.
If she thought that way, it was perfect for me. The soaping was almost done. I rinsed her off.
"My name."
"Hm?"
"You don't know it all yet."
Ristina said as she sat still, letting the water run over her.
"Got a family name?"
"...Ristina Laivelbet. That's my full name."
So Sis was nobility too.
She had a refined air about her—I'd figured as much. It'd be weirder if a pro like her wasn't.
"Got it... Thanks for telling me. I'm Kim Katt. Kim's the family name, Katt's the given."
"I knew that already. What, family name first—is that barbarian tradition?"
"Yep."
I washed up with her, went upstairs, and got dressed. Ristina looked reluctant to part, but she had to open the guild anyway. I left, swallowing my regrets.
"..."
Somehow, I'd gained another wife.
A man with five wives... What can I say, it felt weird.
Like being reborn.
As a man.
If I had to sum up these feelings in one phrase, it'd be this.
"...Kui kui."
I muttered that as I headed home. It wasn't morning yet, so Karin and Lisha should be there. Time to report in to everyone.
Click.
I grabbed the door handle at home, turned the key, and went in.
"I'm back."
Shaaa.
Water was running in the first-floor bathroom—probably Karin and Lisha. Then, a door opened upstairs, followed by footsteps.
Claudy came down from the second floor.
Wearing a black negligee, she brushed back her hair as she approached.
"Katt."
"Claudy!"
She walked over lightly and hugged me.
"Katt... Coming back now? Hm? Did you do as Mama said?"
"Uh... I didn't plan to at first... but it happened."
"Hee hee hee. Good boy, Katt. Such a good, obedient boy."
She grinned happily, rubbing her face against mine and showering me with kisses. Unlike my hazy mood, she seemed thrilled. Guess species and mindset differences. Anyway, I'd done as Claudy said.
"I'm happy you listened. Hm. Now there's one more woman to bear your kids?"
"...Yeah."
"Shall Mama and you head upstairs then?"
"Heh heh heh, right now?"
Creeak.
Then the bathroom door opened.
Karin came out first. Her wet naked body approached with heavy steps, and Claudy stepped aside.
"You little shit... Thought you'd come at night, but morning?"
"Sorry. Kinda ended up like this."
"Whatever. Fucked that bitch good?"
"Yeah."
"How was it?"
Karin smirked seductively and tugged my cheek.
"She didn't straight-up refuse or anything. So I just went all night."
"Kyahaha, what a beast. Good job. That's all we need from our man."
Karin nodded and ruffled my hair.
"...No matter how many women you add, just keep loving Sis special?"
She whispered in my ear.
"Nah, they're all special."
"That's what Sis likes to hear. Hm... I know what you were fretting about when I jumped you, so I dunno what to say exactly."
She'd picked up on my muddled feelings.
"Kinda feeling that way now, yeah?"
"Dunno."
"I'm fine with it, okay? I'm your woman. Don't overthink it. Any man of mine's gotta have women and be strong as hell. Anyway, can't wait to see that bitch's face later. So tonight, you better... fuck, nah, I'll just head to work early. Wait up."
Smack!
Karin slapped my ass once, grabbed a towel, and dried off. Wait, Sis?
Lisha came out of the bathroom next.
"Hee hee hee. Did you have a good time? It was truly hard for me to spend the night without you."
She smiled warmly, came close, and hugged me.
"Aww, Lisha had it rough?"
"I thought you'd come at night at least... Anyway, you seem a bit down."
She held my face and spoke sympathetically. I was a little hazy. She knew it.
"Hmm... Looks like I need to open shop early today. Time to comfort you."
"Comfort? It's not a big deal."
"I want to comfort you. You just washed up—perfect timing... The others are here too, but I can't leave you alone."
"Lisha..."
I didn't get what I needed comforting for, but her saying it made me happy.
This kind of thing.
"Katt, I'll wash up quick."
"Sure."
Claudy headed to the bathroom, and as Lisha dried off, she said,
"Go up to the second floor."
Winia would be waiting.
I went straight up and opened the door. Winia sat on the bed, waiting.
"Took you long enough, darky."
She turned to me and said.
"Winia."
"Whatever. C'mere."
I went right to her and hugged. I nuzzled her huge breasts and acted spoiled for a bit. Winia stroked my back silently, then spoke.
"I thought about it last night... I get it. You're fretting over this. Even if you didn't want to, if your wives want it, you can't help it."
"Winia..."
"So I'm here to comfort you. I don't care about that stuff. You always end up coming back to me."
I'd worried a bit about what I'd hear coming home, but my wives all comforted me and said it was fine.
I lay with my head on Winia's thigh, waiting for the others.
Ah, life.
My life only needed my wives.
