Episode 9: "I'm Gonna Do It! No, I Have To!"
I'd faced a crisis surrounded by wolves where dying wouldn't have been surprising at all. Through that, I realized anew that nothing was more precious than life itself. If we could resolve the crises thrown at Mom and me unscathed, I believed she'd willingly offer her pussy. That's how I saw it. So I decided to go for it.
Just check it without Mom knowing. This is the best way. If I checked secretly and there was no effect, I'd quietly bury it. If my guess was right, I'd tell Mom the truth depending on the situation and ask for her cooperation. I judged that seizing this opportunity quietly, just like now, was the best move, so I decided to confirm it without her knowing.
Stay calm. If I get caught looking, it's the worst.
Moving between Mom's legs, my body trembled. It was the weight of my forbidden desire to see the place where I was born pressing down on me. For a son like me to dare reach out toward his mother's most private spot. My hand slowly advanced toward the taboo place that had created me.
The shackles of taboo made my hand shake, but I finally grasped the leather panties. Focusing all my nerves on my hand, I very slowly pushed Mom's panties aside. And then... it started to come into view. The forbidden place I wasn't allowed to see was gradually revealing itself.
Should I stop? Maybe I should quit right here? Part of my mind raised an objection to the issue I'd already concluded on. Stop it.
Giving up here is ridiculous! Another part of my mind shouted to ignore the voice telling me to stop. It justified it as an action for survival, so don't hesitate—urging me to look quickly in a whisper. Once again, I made a choice relying on the excuse of survival.
I'm gonna look. I'm looking!
Guilt and sorry toward Mom surged strongly, but my decision to see her secret place didn't waver. My trembling hand finally pushed her panties fully aside. Because of that, the mysterious place where my existence had been created was exposed, and as her son, I could stare piercingly into that hole.
Why is this so beautiful and ecstatic? Mom's pussy, shaped like a clam, was beautiful. There were no aesthetic standards here, but to my eyes, it was simply fantastical.
I'm gonna get addicted. The pink inner flesh looked like it would grip a man's cock perfectly. I couldn't help wondering what it would feel like to put it in, and like an addict, I indulged in admiring Mom's pussy.
Mom, I'm sorry. I really am sorry... but I can't help it. This is our best shot. I lowered my head. To bring my son's lips to Mom's pussy. My face soon reached her mound, and my tongue ventured even further.
"Hng."
As my son's tongue touched the entrance of the place where he was born, Mom's body shivered. I'd committed the ultimate filial impiety by bringing my tongue to a place I wasn't even allowed to look at. Once again, the justification that nothing was more important than life kicked in. Now... for our sake, I overcame the shackles of taboo crushing me and licked Mom's pussy.
*Slurp. Slurp.*
I didn't even want to imagine Mom waking up. Amid my worries, I sucked on her pussy extremely slowly. *Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.* Patiently licking Mom's pussy, the love juices I'd been waiting for finally emerged. I gathered them on my tongue and swallowed. Mom's love juices entered my body. Slightly sour and salty, they weren't bad at all. Considering them addictive, I kept moving my tongue without stopping.
Stop! You have to stop now! I wanted to lick more. But it was time to stop. Barely overcoming the thirst to suck more, I pulled my face away from Mom's pussy. Finally, I gave her pussy one last look and pulled her panties back into place.
*Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap. Snap.*
With all the work done, my heart pounded wildly. There was some worry about what if Mom found out, but that was only a small part.
Power! Strength is surging inside me. Sucking the pussy of Mom the healer and swallowing her love juices had made power well up in my body. I thought my hearing might improve, but no. Her love juices were strength. The kind that turned me into a berserker.
It wouldn't make sense for such powerful strength to last long. I felt the amazing power, but I knew it was temporary. If it lasted too long, the mission difficulty would plummet.
**
Mom, who woke up late, approached me while eating fruit. Having seen her pussy with my eyes and even licked it with my tongue, guilt made it impossible for me to meet her gaze.
"Son. You did something wrong to Mom, didn't you?"
Her words made my heart sink. Worry that she'd found out about me sucking her pussy gripped me.
"S-Sorry. It's just that, you know..."
"I get that you were being considerate since Mom was sleeping, but still, that's not okay."
"I-I was really just thinking about our safety..."
"Shh!"
Mom blocked my lips with her index finger. Then she spread her arms and hugged me.
"Son. Thank you. Thank you so much for returning safely to Mom's arms. Mom knows exactly why you did it. But... I don't want you getting hurt. I know we can't just prioritize safety after coming this far, I know that full well... but it's so hard. Sniff. So don't be too considerate of Mom—tell me. Even if you think Mom can't help at all, tell me anyway. If I could have helped even a little and you didn't let me... I might go crazy. So promise you'll always tell Mom. Son. Got it?"
Mom had no idea I'd sucked her pussy.
"...Yeah. From now on, I'll tell you. Mom. I'm really sorry."
I apologized while hugging her. There was regret for hunting the wolf without telling her, and guilt for secretly sucking her most intimate spot.
"No. There's nothing for my son to be sorry about. It was a brave choice. And you made it work."
"Still sorry. Mom. I'm so sorry. I was wrong."
I kept apologizing to Mom. It was a cowardly apology to ease the guilt from seeing and sucking her private place, and I repeated it.
We mother and son hugged for a long while. Our heightened emotions finally subsided. I said to Mom,
"I'm going to kill the wolves trapped in the pit."
"I'll come too, son."
I didn't want to show her my cruel side, but this time I decided not to stop her. Her eyes showed her resolve not to back down.
"Mom, keep a good eye on the minimap."
"Okay."
Wolves weren't approaching this area. No need to worry, but just in case, I left the minimap to Mom.
The environment really matters. The wolves in the pit were exhausted from struggling to escape. I felt pity for their wretched state, but I firmly raised my wooden club.
Let's end it quick. That's best for both of us. Focusing, I aimed for the wolf's neck and thrust downward with all my strength. Their hide wasn't as tough as a boar's, so it pierced easily. I killed the two wolves.
Mom warmly embraced my hands that had slain the beasts.
**
Don't rush. I didn't regret going out to trap the wolves. It was a good choice even on reflection, and it bore good fruit. But I had to keep in mind that I was getting hasty and stay vigilant.
Debt. When Mom and I left the tower, we'd face those waiting to collect it. That pressure to earn money was causing my rushed actions. I decided to shake off that mindset. Otherwise, I'd make mistakes, and those would surely lead to fatal results.
*Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.*
I swung the axe all day. Having experienced how useless a weapon you can't wield properly is, I'd keep swinging until I got used to it.
One strike, one kill. If I'd hit properly when it bit my thigh, I wouldn't have taken so many attacks. I adapted to the axe by swinging it in various postures from different stances.
"Son. Mom will practice too."
Watching my practice, Mom picked up her shield weapon and said she'd join in. I didn't stop her. This was the way to protect my precious Mom.
"You never know what missions will come next. Forgive me if I get intense."
"Your judgment is right, son. Mom's braced for it, so give it your all."
"Yeah."
Mom showed her resolve. For our mother-son growth, I'd do my best.
A bit later, I trained the muscles needed for shield use. Mom practiced holding the shield in various postures.
"You're doing great, Mom. Hold it a little longer."
"Ugh. It's tough. So tough."
Beneath her beautiful appearance lay toughness too. Even as her arms trembled severely, Mom held the pose without giving up. Inspired by her, I silently endured my own patient process of getting used to the axe.
"Huff. Huff. Huff. This is really hard. But it feels like my body's getting better, so I don't hate it."
"Right? Feels like we're getting healthier, son."
Mom and I trained our bodies all day. With the good air here, the healthy feeling was definite.
"Good work, Mom. Let's train together tomorrow too."
"We should. You worked twice as hard taking care of Mom too, son."
After eating fruit, we quickly fell asleep. It was early to sleep, but with our bodies tired, it was no big deal.
Deep into the night. I opened my eyes.
