Shall I Take Care of It? (2)
“Hmm... I think this is the inner path...”
In front of me, Als said that as he groped along the wall while walking. It had already been quite some time since we'd fallen into that trap together with Sema and gotten separated, and now we were wandering around trying to find them. Sema was plenty strong, so he should be fine, but Klea might be in real danger... The thought made me furious at my own pathetic self.
Why didn't I notice it? I'd studied most dungeon traps beforehand. Even when that weird room appeared right in front of us, I didn't think of traps at all. Sure, it was my first time in a dungeon, but I had the knowledge—I should've caught it. I got too caught up enjoying the dungeon crawl with Sema and let my guard down completely.
“Haa...”
“Liz. Don't blame yourself too much. Those two will be fine.”
Als was trying to comfort me with words he couldn't even be sure of... but that sigh just now wasn't just from worry. No, it was because being alone with Als in this situation felt so frustrating and irritating for some reason. I'd already suspected illegal adventurers had snuck into the dungeon, and now we'd hit a trap that scattered the party... Why was that? On top of the worry, this nagging sense of regret kept bubbling up.
Why did it have to be Als I ended up moving with... instead of Sema? A thought I shouldn't even have.
Why was I thinking like that? Sure, I'd been drawn to Sema lately, and at night I indulged in marathon sex sessions where his magnificent horse cock conquered me until the late hours... but in the end, Als was the one I had to choose. This was a dangerous situation with the party split, yet my mind kept circling back to that regret, leaving me confused.
What if it was Sema next to me right now... just the two of us exploring the dungeon like a date...
...Ugh! No. Snap out of it! I shook my head and refocused on scanning the dungeon. This wasn't the time for fantasies. Above all, Klea came first—we needed to regroup the party fast. Pull it together and find them.
“Liz. It's not your fault...”
“Yeah, I know. Let's find them quick.”
Why did this guy keep repeating what I already knew? So pointless... Was Als always like this? Lately, everything he said just felt so stifling.
Haa... If Sema started his own guild and went off on his own, it'd mean more situations like this—just me and Als. I could keep things going with Sema until I married Als, but the idea of less time together still bummed me out. What if... Sema just joined our guild? Then we could adventure together without splitting up...
...Ugh. Lizbet. Focus. Finding them is priority one.
I shook my head again and moved deeper into the dungeon with Als.
“Klea... you mean...”
The words “shall I take care of your lust?” came from Klea's mouth. It was the first time she'd offered something like that on her own. It should have been a welcome moment I'd been waiting for... but the problem was, she'd just been terrified moments ago, on the verge of being assaulted. Was it okay to ask her for this now?
“...Y-you're different, Sema... so it's okay... More than that, right now... you seem, um, uncomfortable...”
With her Esser senses, Klea could even detect emotions, so she'd probably picked up on my arousal. Even so, relieving myself with her right now... it was tricky.
I was torn, but that had nothing to do with my horse cock, which was still throbbing insistently, screaming now, now! Yeah... ignoring it like this was getting tough. After pounding Lizbet every day, this thing's patience was wearing thinner by the day.
“...Sorry, and thanks, Klea. Mind helping me out?”
“...Y-yes. Th-that was the contract, after all.”
Klea's face flushed deep red as she gave a shy smile. Feeling grateful, I started shifting to human form, but then a different idea struck me. I called out to her.
“Klea. You don't really know what my horse form looks like, right?”
“P-pardon? Oh... y-yeah... I know you walk on four legs and I can ride on your back, but...”
Yeah, that made sense. She'd only ever ridden me without really seeing or touching. Her terror today probably came from the situation plus the unknown fear since she couldn't see. With that in mind, I made her a proposal.
“Then... how about we get to know each other better? Today, wanna try it with me in horse form?”
“W-what? In your horse form...? Even like that, you have... genitals?”
To her flustered reaction, I gave a simple rundown of my horse body. I explained how even as a massive four-legged beast, the horse cock was the same whether in human or horse form. Klea looked like she was struggling to picture it. When I suggested she touch my horse body to learn more and go from there, she pondered for a moment, then nodded.
“I am curious... what your horse body feels like.”
“Go ahead and touch however you like. I'll explain.”
I positioned myself in front of her and offered my head first.
“This is my head. In human form, it just shrinks a bit but keeps the same shape. Face is identical either way.”
Klea tentatively reached out, stroking my face to map it out slowly.
“Th-this is your ear? It's perked up... here's your neck... so this must be your lips. Hehe. Quite the long face.”
Her tense expression softened bit by bit, a smile creeping onto her face as she explored.
“Down the neck to the body... oh! Y-your body is amazing... I felt it before, but it's so hot... this is... muscle, right?”
“Yeah. That's the chest area, I guess? Front legs on either side.”
“Wow... your human form was muscular too, but this... I've touched others for healing a few times, but nothing like this...”
Klea's face reddened as she marveled.
“Something's bulging and twitching... I wondered before, but what is this?”
“Ah, that's veins. They bulge and pulse all over my body.”
“These are veins... Some adventurers have them sticking out a bit, but nothing this thick and writhing.”
She traced down my front leg, bending low.
“This is your leg... so thick and sturdy. No wonder you can carry three and still run so fast.”
When I lifted my hoof for her, she felt it and frowned curiously.
“Something hard at the end... what is it?”
“Hoof. Some four-legged beasts have 'em—equivalent to claws.”
“Ah! A hoof! I've heard the word, but it's fascinating!”
She moved along my body, stroking it.
“Wow... I felt it when riding, but your body is huge, back so broad... how is it so solid yet smooth when galloping?”
That's more skill than body... but would another divine beast have something like that?
“And these are the hind legs... oh. The rear muscles feel even firmer... incredible.”
I smiled as she admired my thigh, then brushed my tail against her hand.
“Ah, wh-what's this? Fur...?”
“Heh, tail. Pretty long, huh? Same shape in human form, just shorter—tucked in my pants, so you wouldn't know.”
“Wow, a tail... the fur is so soft.”
Yeah, it had a glossy sheen—even I thought it felt nice. The sensation in human form was weird, so I'd kept it tucked in the pants Lianna made, but lately Lizbet had stroked it a few times during blowjobs, so maybe I'd just let it hang out.
I stopped her from groping my rear, let her finish the hind legs, then asked.
“So, Klea? What do you think of my horse body?”
“Wow... I'm impressed. Touching it, it's way bigger and more amazing. But...”
Her admiring smile turned shy as she flushed and whispered,
“Th-the... genitals... are they down below...?”
“Yeah. On the lower belly between the hind legs... wanna feel?”
She crouched beside my hind leg, face burning, and slowly reached out.
“Ah...”
Her hand touched my horse cock, and she trembled, blushing harder.
“Y-yeah... this part's the same...”
Having experienced it a few times, she was somewhat used to the size and shape, but feeling it on my horse form made her shyly comment as she explored.
“...Klea. So, wanna use this one today?”
Her hand lingered on it as she bowed her head, pondering.
“No pressure, of course... just a suggestion. We said we'd learn more about each other, but I'm grateful even if you just help like that—no need to force it.”
She kept her hand there, thinking, then finally lifted her head with a resolute nod.
“I'll... try it once. To learn more about each other...”
For some reason, her grip on my horse cock felt a little firmer.
