This is taking longer than I thought...
It had already been over an hour since he said he'd tidy up quickly and come right back. If he showed up now, that'd be one thing, but as time kept dragging on, anxiety started creeping in bit by bit.
Once my stamina had recovered somewhat, I got up and scanned the room.
The medical tent, which had been like a living hell, was now filled only with the sound of snoring, as if none of that had ever happened. People's faces looked much more at ease than before.
"Ugh...! That was seriously brutal..."
I stretched lightly, rolling my stiff shoulders.
How should I put it... My whole body felt sore, like I'd been pricked all over with needles. I wanted to flop into bed and pass out right now.
And maybe it was from smelling all that medicine, but my head was a little dizzy too... If I just closed my eyes like this, I could probably fall asleep standing up.
But... I couldn't do that...
After the fight was over, sure. But outside, people were still battling for their lives. Sure, someone might understand if I crashed from exhaustion, but staying awake felt like the bare minimum.
"Earlier... you were so antsy to go help out, and now look at you sleeping away..."
Silvia, the wolf beastkin woman. I'd been worried when she tried to drag her injured body out to fight, but exhaustion must've hit her hard—she was the first to conk out.
Now she was snoring loudly without a care, so much that it was starting to hurt my ears.
Hmm... But isn't her appearance change a bit too drastic?
To get a better look, I narrowed my eyes and sidled up to Silvia. I hadn't had time to really check her out earlier amid the chaos, but now... she was surprisingly cute? Fluffy like a puppy, stirring up an urge to pet her right away.
Simply put, she gave off big dog vibes now, which was wild considering she'd been a tiny Chihuahua before.
Now I might be the one getting mounted.
In the game, Silvia wasn't a major character. She popped up occasionally as a sub-heroine with a few sex scenes, the most notable being the mounting one.
Her small, frail frame made her perfect for picking up and pounding, so there were scenes of her pinned against the wall.
It wasn't really my thing, so I'd skimmed the CGs and skipped, but now...
Damn, she's hot as hell.
Her thick clothes had hidden it, but peeling them off during treatment revealed a surprisingly glamorous figure.
Nice rack too... I eyed her up and down slowly, and she was basically a walking porn video.
Anyway, this has to be real, right?
Her body was one thing, but my curiosity drew my gaze—as if by prior agreement—to her ears and tail. A beautiful tail like it was made of gold thread, swaying gently and tempting me. My curiosity piqued.
C-Can I touch it?
Someone might say what the hell am I doing in this situation, but I couldn't hold back my curiosity. And it wasn't just anything—it was wolf ears and tail on a person's head and butt... I had to confirm this myself.
I glanced around casually.
Nun Rachel was dozing off a short distance away, and the healers were chatting among themselves. Everyone was distracted, so if I was gonna touch, now was the time.
Like a kid sneaking porn, I held my breath quietly. I swallowed the saliva pooling in my mouth and slowly raised my hand over her tail area.
Poof—
Oh... So soft...
What is this texture...? It felt exactly like petting a real dog—pure softness.
This was one of my bucket list items for if I ever came to a world like this... A wish I'd thought impossible for life, and here I was fulfilling it.
Wonder what's inside? Is it really connected to her tailbone?
I knew I shouldn't go further, but curiosity won out.
Having lived only in human villages, this was my first beastkin, and it felt like the chance wouldn't come again.
Plus, Silvia was exhausted from the holy water's effects and wouldn't wake easily. From an angle where no one could see, I tugged her pants down just a bit.
Squeeze—
"Whoa... It's really connected..."
Figuring she wouldn't wake from a little stimulus anyway, I gave the tail a gentle tug.
"Hii! Hn!"
Her sweet moan followed, laced with pain. Just in case, I quickly pulled her pants back up to restore everything.
That was close.
But yeah, definitely connected.
I had no idea how the anatomy worked, but it didn't come off when pulled, so it wasn't fake. Seemed truly attached to her tailbone, not budging an inch.
Of course, I hadn't yanked hard, but for that force and no give? Real deal.
"Huu... Huu..."
Phew, thought she woke up.
I was startled for a sec, but she settled back into even breathing, so I relaxed.
Now for the ears...
They twitched perkily, reacting to the earlier stimulus. I quickly checked around again to ensure no eyes on me, then shifted my chair and body closer to her head.
Doggy ears!
Might as well go all in since I'd crossed the line. As long as I didn't get caught, it wasn't a crime. I'd come to this other world—gotta try what I wanna try. Rare species like this aren't easy to see, and the chance was now or never.
Hmm... How do ears end up on top of the head?
I didn't get the structure, but honestly, I didn't care. What I wanted was the feel. Keeping my hand hidden from view, I reached up and touched the wolf ears on her head.
These are soft too...
Amazing.
The outer feel differed from the inside. Outside like the tail, soft; inside fur was fluffy like down.
Ah... Feels good... Might sound weird saying this about a person, but it was pure healing.
"Haaam... Priest, what are you doing?"
"Hik!"
I was basking in the moment when Nun Rachel's voice came from behind. My fully relaxed body went rigid in an instant.
"Y-You're up, Nun Rachel..."
Her voice sounded suspicious, like she knew I was hiding something. My heart pounded wildly—did she catch me?
"Oh, uh, well, Silvia seemed to be groaning in pain, so I was checking on her. Looks like she's fine now, no issues with her body."
"..."
"Heh heh..."
Nun Rachel narrowed her eyes, rubbing her sleepy face. She glanced between Silvia and me, tilting her head slightly.
"Is that so? Ah... Sorry. I should've helped, but I guess I dozed off from exhaustion."
"Haha... That happens. It's all over now, so catch a bit more sleep. You were running around everywhere earlier—must've been tough..."
"R-Really?"
"Yeah, if anything comes up, I'll wake you. Rest a little more."
"Haaam... Heehee... Thanks."
She must've been wiped out, because she headed back to her spot and closed her eyes. Seeing her lie down, the breath I'd been holding burst out.
Whew... That was way too close...
@@@@@
Silvia couldn't make sense of what was happening at all. She'd just been so sleepy she nodded off briefly. Then she drifted fully into slumber, snoring away, until at some hazy moment, an alien sensation on her tail jolted her awake.
She cracked her eyes to peek down, and what did she see?
The priest was touching her tail, for some reason.
She pretended to sleep to avoid awkwardness if he knew she was awake, but her mind was a whirlwind, like a bomb had gone off.
Wh-Why the priest...?
Why...?
It was bewildering. For beastkin like ronin folk, the tail was an ultra-sensitive spot reserved only for one's spouse.
Touching someone else's lover's tail was grounds for justifiable homicide, yet the priest ignored all that, eyes sparkling like a kid with a new toy as he fondled it.
What the hell? What's going on?
Does he... like me? For real? Seriously?
His comrades were out there fighting desperately, and instead of helping, here she was bedridden, lost in ridiculous fantasies...
Silvia resented herself for it, yet deep down, an inexplicable thrill bubbled up.
Squeeze—
"Whoa... It's really connected..."
"Hii! Hn!"
Just touching was intense enough, but then he yanked her tail and muttered some weird commentary.
In that brief moment, an indescribable sensation shot up her tail, through her nerves, zapping her whole body and driving her mad.
Hnggh... Ngh... Cr-Crazy... Wh-What are you doing, Priest? Why all of a sudden...?
Stimulating her tail made her body hypersensitive on cue. Before she knew it, her panties weren't just wet—they were soaked through with her juices.
