Mutant Creature and Toy Escape Incident
"...So, why hasn't this thing hatched from its egg yet?"
I cannot determine that either. Just as rare mutant specimens vary widely, the hatching methods for each individual are equally diverse. Some hatch simply with the passage of time, while in extreme cases, they may require absorbing the blood of five hundred humans.
Holy shit... I thought I'd gotten lucky with it coming out intact, but now I can't even check it properly. What a useless lump. Even the System, which knows pretty much everything, can't figure this out... It feels like mental torture, but at least it's not a total loss.
I decided to think of it like grabbing an extra one in a convenience store two-plus-one deal.
I named the creatures from Ariel's belly "Recovery" and fed them her sweat, breast milk, and love juices. Since Recovery outperforms the others in restorative capabilities, it'll handle all the post-sex cleanup from now on.
Anyway, I picked up the unhatched mutant creature egg and left the room.
Bella was waiting outside, back to her demure self now that her heat had subsided.
"Ah, you're finally done. Is that thing in your hand... from the nun?"
I handed the mutant egg to Bella.
"Yeah, it's a special specimen with a rare drop rate, but it needs specific conditions to hatch. I'll have to carry it around and figure it out."
"Hee... As expected from a mid-level nun—on her first birth, no less..."
Bella stared at the mutant egg cradled in her hands, her expression somehow darkening.
Smoothly—
"Ariel did something big, sure, but that doesn't mean you're useless. No matter what, I protect the women I claim. No need to worry."
I stroked her head, comforting Bella whose thoughts were obvious as ever. She was probably beating herself up for falling behind Ariel.
Producing a mutant was great, of course, but right now it was just a hard, pretty rock. Nothing more, nothing less.
Even if Ariel's Recovery had top-tier performance, it didn't change the fact that every female had her own unique appeal.
Squeeze—!
"You're a plenty arousing and attractive bitch. You think I'd give up tits and a pussy like these?"
Words alone didn't seem enough, so I pulled her into a tight embrace, kneading her breasts and ass while whispering in her ear. Only then did she relax, flashing a smile.
"Hehe, you're right. I'll have to keep working hard to turn you on from now on, Master Tentacle."
Working hard to turn me on—what the hell does that even mean? Whatever, at least she's cheered up.
I tapped her pussy mound playfully and gave her a deep kiss on the lips.
Slurp—smooch... smack...♥
"...Master Tentacle, my pussy's throbbing again..."
...Goddamn it.
***
After sending Bella off one more time, I told the awakened Ariel I'd be coming back often to make more "donations," so please take good care of me.
"Yes...♥ Next time you visit, I'll practice so you can donate more smoothly... Look forward to it...♥♥"
I was tempted to pound her again right then, but...
Beep—!
A scout sent a signal.
Huh? Who's that?
Focusing on the signaling scout, I realized it was the one stationed outside the village. I thought someone was entering the village, but no—it was heading out.
And moving pretty damn fast, too.
Who in this village can move that quick...? No way!
Come to think of it, I'd left Ellen at home. When I headed to the temple to fuck Ariel, I conserved my stamina not knowing how many villagers I'd run into. But I hadn't hypnotized Ellen with "You cannot escape."
You idiot! What happens if you don't do that?!
Has going easy on her lately made me sloppy? She's pulling off some pretty clever shit.
The signal presumed to be Ellen was heading toward the great forest at the western edge, home of the World Tree.
If Ellen reaches the World Tree, there's no way to secure her anymore. Even I couldn't take on tens of thousands of elves—that'd just be suicide.
"I'll be right back. Wait here."
I barked the order at Ariel and Bella without thinking, my voice sharp.
Seeing my fierce expression for the first time, they froze like statues.
But I had no time to worry about that. I needed to catch Ellen ASAP.
I sprinted full speed toward the scout's signal location.
'System, dump all my level-up stat points into Agility.'
6 remaining points used. Agility stat changed to 38(27).
My speed surged dramatically compared to before.
'Can you mark Ellen's signal on the minimap?'
Yes, possible. Ellen will now be marked in yellow on the minimap.
She hadn't gone far yet—the yellow dot blinked at the edge of my minimap.
This was catchable.
The Justitia Temple sat in the center of Rutin Village. Too many eyes here to polymorph into my tentacle monster form... but it was enough for chasing a runaway toy.
Shrieeeek—!
Cleaving through the wind, I traced the optimal path. The yellow dot drew closer.
I thought I'd snag her soon, but then Ellen plunged into the forest, her speed picking up even more.
Finally, the yellow dot vanished from my minimap, ramping up my anxiety.
Elves were a race born and raised in the forest, living there for ages. Blessed by the World Tree from birth, they obviously had a passive that boosted speed in woods.
But I wasn't at full throttle either. And now I'd left the village, entering the forest myself.
I used my barely recovered stamina to polymorph into tentacle monster form.
Crunch—crack!
My vision blacked out briefly as I shifted back to my familiar original shape.
Along with it came my true stats. Agility jumped from 27 to 38—an 11-point boost.
A whole different league of speed.
Grabbing tree trunks, I swung through the air like Spider-Man from the movies.
Luckily, the yellow dot reappeared on the minimap soon after. After about twenty minutes of pursuit...
A golden-haired lifeform entered my sight.
Sensing me closing in, Ellen climbed trees on trembling legs she tried to ignore.
But the race was already over.
Crack—!
"Kyaaack!"
Stiffened by my killing intent, Ellen made a rookie mistake she'd never normally do—landing on a diseased, rotting branch.
Before she could leap again, the branch snapped, sending her plummeting.
Grab—!
Nice catch.
Seeing her about to brain herself on the ground, I stretched a tentacle to snag her leg. Thankfully, I caught her before she hit fully.
Ellen opened her eyes, thinking Did I survive...? but...
"You actually thought you could run? Our little toy?"
"...Ptoo! Fucking bastard. Why! Why the hell won't you just d— Mmph!"
I sealed her foul-mouthed impudence with a tentacle over her mouth as she scowled and spat defiance.
"Not even sorry? Spitting at your master? Forgot what happened your first day? We'll hear excuses later."
I chopped the back of her neck to knock her out, then bound her tight with tentacles.
Ha... fuck. She'd been so docile lately, I let my guard down.
She'd been somewhat trained on my dick, so that was my fault for slacking.
From now on, her hypnosis needed to be even more thorough. What toy ever needed this much babysitting?
Dragging the unconscious Ellen, I headed back to Rutin Village.
Oh shit, wait. I'm still in tentacle monster form.
No stamina left to polymorph human again, and the clothes I had on ripped when I transformed earlier.
She really screwed me over to the end.
I had to wait until enough stamina regenerated for polymorph—about thirty minutes—before returning to the log house in human form.
Avoiding villagers by scaling a high ridge cost extra time.
Creeeak—
"Phew... I'm back. Huh? Cecilia. Where's everyone else?"
Inside, only Cecilia looked up from her book on the sofa. No signs of the others...
"Darling? Why are you naked alone... Oh, and Junior's here too. David said he was off processing the wood he chopped this morning... Huh? But Junior said she was heading to the bathroom earlier..."
Oh right. I'd told those two to stay put until I returned.
They were probably still waiting at the temple because of my command.
I'd blanked on it from the shock of Ellen's escape.
I quickly changed clothes, tied up the unconscious Ellen with rope for good measure, and headed to the temple where Bella and Ariel waited.
True to their word, they hadn't budged an inch from that spot, standing there blankly as the sun dipped low.
Way too late.
But they showed no resentment, just asking what happened.
"My favorite toy tried to run. She's pretty nimble—took a while to catch."
"Your expression earlier looked so grim... I was worried something big happened. Glad you found her... I should head home now. Father must be waiting."
With time late, I sent Ariel home first, then held Bella's hand on the way back.
"Toy meaning Ellen? Why would she even think of running from Master Tentacle... Being with you feels so good♥"
Saying that, Bella guided my hand to her pussy.
...You've got some real resolve today, don't you.
