Chapter Title: Romance Fantasy (31)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I used the lich's curse as an excuse to send the princess out of the room, leaving me alone with Misa, the dog beastkin. Of course, the princess put up a fight, insisting on staying, but thanks to Misa's persuasion, I managed to get her out safely.
'It's fine! This guy's weaker than me. Hehe. Plus, the curse might spread! Lize, just wait outside quietly!'
I'd been worried she might not listen, but luckily, it didn't come to that. Their bond seemed rock-solid. Thank goodness.
"Then... um, is it okay if I call you Misa?"
"Sure!"
"Misa, could you show me the wound?"
Now that we were alone as I'd wanted, I played the doctor and had her sit in the examination chair before asking her to reveal the injury. The once-bold dog beastkin finally seemed to feel a twinge of embarrassment, her face flushing as she hesitantly lifted her clothes.
"Hmm, the bandage is wrapped way too roughly. I'll unwrap it first."
"Hyah?! I-I can do it myself!"
"No. This is the doctor's job."
Surprisingly, the beastkin's body wasn't all that different from a human's. As I peeled back the bandage a bit, there wasn't a trace of beast fur on Misa's abdomen. This world's beastkin were apparently just humans with ears and tails added on—a design I personally wasn't into, so her smooth appearance was a relief.
"Hah... you're too close... I said I can do it."
"Stay still. You might aggravate the wound."
"Hyah! Don't talk right next to my ear!"
So the ears aren't just for show. I whispered softly near her ear, pretending it was nothing, and her dog ears twitched violently. Kinda cute. I was starting to get the appeal of beastkin.
"Ah, sorry. I didn't think about it."
"Be careful... And how long are you gonna keep this up?! Hurry up and unwrap it!"
"I'm neutralizing the spreading curse while unwrapping it, so it takes a little time. I know it's embarrassing, but bear with me."
"Hmph, it's not embarrassing at all? My arm's just going numb..."
What a tough act. She's a total ball of cuteness. Her mouth says one thing, but every time my hand touches her body, she flinches, and her dog ears perk up and down in sync. It's hilarious. No wonder beastkin slaves are so popular in fantasy worlds. There's definitely a fun side to toying with them.
"Hmm... it's worse than I thought. The lich's curse is blocking regeneration and rotting the wound. You'd need incredible vitality to hold out this long... and you're not even showing pain. Impressive. As expected of the princess's guard knight."
"Hmph. It just stings a bit. Not really painful."
"Amazing!"
"I said it's nothing! Hng..."
Check this out. She downplays it with her words, but her ears are flapping like they're bragging. Totally adorable. Makes me wanna raise one myself. Maybe talk to Cecilia about getting a beastkin after we marry.
"Alright, now for the real treatment."
"...Okay."
Her wound was seriously bad. The beastkin's natural regeneration was clashing with the curse of decay, making the injury bubble grotesquely. My praise wasn't empty—she was tough. I'd be groaning nonstop in her place. Almost respectable.
But that didn't mean it was untreatable. The heal skill from the Royal Road Hero Tale was unbeatable. It could cure even divine curses—what's one lich curse? I laid the examination chair back and reached out, gently caressing her wound.
"Hyaaaaang!"
A cute, sharp cry pierced my ears from below.
"Misa! Are you okay?"
"...You startled me! Warn me before you touch!"
She must not have expected direct contact on the wound. Off guard, she'd let her embarrassing reaction slip. She covered her flushed face with both hands, but her drooping dog ears gave her away. Super embarrassed. I silently chuckled and pulled my hand from her stomach.
"Sorry. I got carried away wanting to heal you fast."
"I appreciate that, but... warn me first..."
"Haha. Got it. I'll be careful from now on."
Touching her directly wasn't an issue, huh? Even for a woman's bare skin, for "treatment." Neither the princess nor Misa, currently being touched, resisted my methods. Desperation, probably. Without me, she'd suffer forever, so she was clutching at this straw.
Hmm... so I can enjoy this without much trouble?
I activated Sexual Stimulation and cautiously touched her lower abdomen.
Truth be told, while at the academy, I had no plans to mess with other girls. With Cecilia around, plus Aria Melts constantly spoiling me, and Luina Ober ready anytime I wanted, there was no need to go after girls who seemed a step below.
But this was an exception. I couldn't pass up the chance. A beastkin princess's guard knight? Not easy to come by. Rare setup for "treatment" like this. Enjoy it while I could.
"Heeeh... haa... i-is this really healing...?"
"Yes. Slowly but surely. See? This part and that don't hurt when touched anymore."
"Hyaaang! ...I said warn me!"
The issue was going all the way. That depended on my effort. Clean hookup without issues didn't seem easy, but with Sexual Stimulation, it was doable. She was already panting like this. Ramp it up, make her cum a few times, and I might slide in.
"Ah, sorry. I'll warn you first from now on. I've blocked the curse leaking from the wound, so next I'll treat what's already spread. That means touching around it—including some embarrassing spots. Heads up."
"Hauu... Got it..."
"Starting with the inner thighs."
"W-wait! It's spread that far?"
"Yes. Assume the whole lower abdomen area is infected. That's why it'll take time."
"No helping it then...... Hyaaang! Wh-what are you doing, you perv?!"
"I said inner thighs."
"Doesn't mean shove your hand... haa... inside my clothes... hyaaang!!"
Where else? She gave permission—no way I'd just rub over clothes. Sliding into her loose shorts, she blew up. Too hasty? But she only yelled verbally—no refusal—so probably fine.
Relieved, I caressed her thigh as softly as possible and calmly countered.
"Can't help it for treatment. Otherwise, you'd have to take off your pants. Prefer that?"
"What?! N-no... hauu... not that..."
"Then we'll continue."
Doctor role is such a cheat key. Misa couldn't resist and accepted my hand rampaging in her pants. Glancing up, her ears twitched with every touch. Savoring it, I slowly slid deeper inside.
"Th-there... haa... that's..."
"I said the whole lower abdomen's infected. This needs treatment too."
"But... that's... no..."
"...Misa?"
"Hyaaang... no... haa..."
But Misa's expression turned strange. My hand reached her panties, teasing between thigh and fabric before slyly slipping underneath. Her brown eyes reddened, pupils dilating.
Startled, I used Observation to check her status.
A translucent window appeared with info that Misa was in heat.
No way—barely touched her and already? Beastkin thing? Or just her heat cycle? Her fall speed was insane. At this rate, I might go all the way on day one.
Excited at the thought, I boldly slipped inside her panties. She arched her back with a lewd cry.
"Hyaaang! ...Way better than when Lize touches it...!"
...What the hell is that about?
