The Hunter's True Feelings (7)
#
"Ugh..."
Pain prickled across my cheek. Something—something was pinching me.
"?!"
I opened my eyes to find Yuri staring down at me with a blank face. My head was cradled between her arms, and she was just gazing at me without expression, not even blinking. W-was she angry? Because I'd tormented her until her backside swelled up?!
"H-hello?"
No, when I stole a glance downward we were still connected. So it didn't really look like she was that angry. Still, it would've been nice if she said something. Having her just stare at me expressionless like that was scary!
Unable to bear the silence, I spoke first.
"Uh, s-so, how's your body—"
"Say you like me."
"Huh?"
"Say you like me. Hurry up."
Yuri urged me with an attitude that said hearing those words was more important than anything else. Under that odd pressure, I even stuttered slightly.
"I-I like you."
"Once more. Properly."
"I like you."
"..."
She looked down at me steadily as if it hadn't satisfied her. I grabbed Yuri's arms and answered seriously.
"I like you. Yuri. I love you."
"Hoo..."
Only then did Yuri relax her gaze and lean her body against me. She rested her chin between my shoulder and neck and began to grumble quietly.
"Sigh... how did I end up falling for a pervert like this."
"Hey, what's wrong with me?"
Yuri just turned her head to look up at me. Her brow kept twitching—it looked like she wanted to glare at me, but it wasn't working well.
"You're seriously asking because you don't know? Who in the world stays stuck inside like this, every single time you do it?"
Wasn't there something more important than that? Like how I'd done it in her butt, or from behind, or her anal, and all that. But it seemed she didn't want to bring that up. She was embarrassed, right? Then I should probably keep quiet too. Deliberately bringing up the anal stuff would just be asking for a beating.
Still, that she got that turned on during her first anal play...
"Ugh... ughhk?!"
The moment my memories of the anal and the sensation of Yuri's lower body combined, my cock, which had been connected all this time, twitched. I didn't hold back and let it all out.
"Ah... ahh... you idiot... hngk..."
"You hate it?"
"..."
—Smack. Smack.
Yuri blushed furiously and smacked my chest. Well, if she hated it she would've pulled me out earlier. Blaming me when she'd been stuck to me because she liked it too.
"Haa... hoo..."
A small sigh and the silence that naturally followed.
Yuri stopped hitting my chest and was staring vacantly at the ring.
She had turned her head away from me, but even just from her profile I could see the smile spreading on her lips.
"You like it?"
"I was just... pfft."
Yuri seemed to be trying for a chic expression, but ended up laughing.
"Ow."
What a ridiculous girl. Why was she hitting me when she was the one who failed at managing her own expression? Yuri patted my chest a few more times like that, then stared straight at me and moved her lips.
"Th, than..."
Her face grew redder. Yuri squeezed her eyes shut and practically spat it out.
"Thank you. I'll, I'll treasure it forever..."
Getting a thank-you out of her sure was hard. But the feeling wasn't bad. No, if anything, it made my chest tingle, and feeling a bit embarrassed myself, I shot back in a joking tone.
"You know what that means, right? It means you can never get away from me from now on. I'm not joking, I'm serious."
"You damn playboy. And you already have Reni..."
Yuri glared at me like that and brought her face close. A light kiss followed.
"Hoo... mmm..."
After a few pecks, our tongues naturally began to mingle. Our hands each groped for the other's chest, and below, instinctive movements began again...
—Grrrowl.
"..." "..."
Yuri's stomach rumbled. We both froze for a second at the sound.
Right. It was already afternoon. The sun would set soon, and Yuri hadn't eaten anything since morning. No, she might've had an empty stomach since the night before, even.
Yuri buried her face in my shoulder. I couldn't see her expression, but with her ears gone that red, she must have been incredibly embarrassed.
"Um... should we get something to eat first?"
Yuri gave a small nod at that. Honestly, the growling sound didn't bother me at all, but it seemed like it was pretty embarrassing for women. No, not just a stomach growl—it was more like they were embarrassed just making any kind of noise from their bodies.
I spoke up, both to change the mood and to ask something I'd been curious about.
"Oh, right. Just how long did you starve yourself? How early did you start preparing for it to— agh! Sorry!"

Being naked was nice, but if I stayed that way any longer, I didn't think I could hold back. I threw on a robe and got out of bed.
I was starting to get hungry anyway, so I should eat something.
Before putting on her robe, Yuri even put on her underwear, saying she had to keep up constant maintenance to stop things from sagging and could never let her guard down.
The fact that she told me to close my eyes while doing that was just a bonus, of course. We were at the point of having seen all the way inside her ass, but it felt like she still drew nuanced little lines.
Anyway, once we had our clothes on.
I considered ordering room service, but then I suddenly remembered something.
Right, it was said that popular people have food delivered in the middle of having sex at motels. I didn't have delivery here, but I had something several times more useful.
[Purchased Item: Fried / Seasoned Half-and-Half Chicken 1 Box]
[Purchased Item: 1 Medium Supreme Pizza]
"Whoa..."
Yuri's eyes started to sparkle.
Today we had chicken and even pizza. Was this inn against bringing in outside food? It didn't matter. The trash would automatically disappear once we finished eating anyway.
"Here, let's eat."
"Yeah!"
Anyway, no matter how many times I saw it, it was a strange sight. For chicken to poof out of thin air, and for the leftovers to disappear automatically. Where in the world did that trash go? Did it get sent back to the modern world? If so, could I also go back to the modern world?
Not that I especially wanted to go back, but I was still curious.
"Pfft."
After wolfing down a few pieces of chicken, Yuri suddenly started giggling to herself.
"What's so funny?"
"No, it's just... I was thinking about the old days."
Yuri said, licking the sauce off her fingers.
"It was like this back at my place before, right? It's not even that old a memory, but it feels like ages ago."
"Well, a lot has happened."
Yuri giggled and looked at me.
"Thinking back, it's really funny. Goblins suddenly come swarming out and I'm ready to die, telling you to run away first, and then you suddenly ask to have sex. Do you know how incredulous I was then? I seriously thought, what kind of piece of trash is this?"
Th-this brat! To suddenly dig up old history like that! Sure, I'd been a bit out of my mind and spoken without thinking back then, but wasn't her assessment way too harsh?!
"P-piece of trash?! Don't you think that's a bit harsh?! I agonized over it because I knew how I'd look too! It's embarrassing for me to just blurt out 'let's have sex' too, you know?! And you were so scared back then your legs were shaking."
"Me? My legs were shaking? Wh-when did I ever!"
Yuri's eyes went round. She had a brazen face on as if she'd never done such a thing. Such a ridiculous girl, really.
"You sure talked a good game telling us to run away. But your legs were trembling so badly it was hilarious, so anyway, I could see full well you were putting on all the brave faces you could. Acting like you'd collapse if someone just poked you, yet telling others to—"
—Crunch.
I heard the sound of chicken bones being pulverized in her mouth. Yuri had just crushed a drumstick. Damn, she was certainly enjoying the buff stats!
"..."
I shut my mouth obediently. The horrible image of having my dick bitten off later if I provoked her further came to mind.
Yuri put the chicken down and spoke in a slightly serious tone.
"Baby."
"Hmm?"
"If I... hadn't been trembling back then, would you have just gone away?"
"...No. I probably wouldn't have gone on about a sex buff so incoherently, but I would've done something or other."
Yuri giggled as if satisfied with my answer.
"Mm-hm... I'm telling you, there's no helping it if it was love at first sight."
"..."
This girl, she'd forced me to hear this nonsense about falling for her before, and now she was planning to keep pushing that angle.
"Weren't you the one who fell for me at first sight?"
"Nope?"
"What?!"
What an immediate answer! Yuri only giggled at my shock and replied.
"I didn't fall for you at first sight. I know myself well. As for when I fell for you..."
Yuri trailed off, blushed, and started fanning herself with her hand.
"...Why are you asking that?! Don't you get embarrassed asking stuff like that? Hmph."
"..."
Look at this. She diligently got all the words she wanted to hear out of me, but was going to hide her own inner thoughts all to herself? She was truly the perfect avatar of double standards.
I shot to my feet and approached Yuri.
"Wh-what's this. What're you doing? Eek...!"
"What do you mean what am I doing, what do you think I'm doing?"
Saying that, I pulled Yuri's face toward me.
"Mmph... n-no. I-I still feel weird back there, I'm telling you. I think it's swollen right now! You can't do it again already...!"
Yuri broke off the kiss and pushed my face away, but I couldn't help but snicker.
"Who said I was going for your ass? Why do you keep assuming I'm going to take you from behind? Seriously... that was your first time, and you already want it that badly?"
Yuri blushed bright red at those words and smacked my chest repeatedly.
"Eek!"
I lifted Yuri up in a princess carry and then plopped her down in the middle of the bed. At that, Yuri began to put up useless resistance.
"Wh-what do you think you're doing!"
"What am I doing? I think I've figured something out—when you get honest."
"What? What's that supposed to..."
"You get me to say everything you want to hear, while you always try to wriggle out of saying anything yourself. But there's one time when you get honest: just before you come during sex."
Yuri glared at me at those words.
"Ha! Me?! I'm always honest! And to think you'd make me open my mouth with sex, that's precisely the kind of thinking only a ra... a pervert would have! Do you think I'm some kind of pervert like... you?"
"..."
"What's so funny?!"
This girl, she wasn't calling me a rapist anymore. Well, I supposed she wouldn't after all that trouble. Not that it mattered if she talked like that when it was just the two of us.
I spoke with a sly smile on my face.
"Yuri, tell me. When did you fall for me? If you tell me now, I'll stop."
"I didn't fall for you! I'm never telling!"
Yuri shouted with the corners of her eyes lifted.
...
"Nnghk! Ah-ahk! Hnng...! H-mmph!"
