Chapter Title: Cute Toy Pussy, Sera (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
After switching to casual speech, I had a brief chat with Sera.
"Um... Oppa, how did you end up coming to this village?"
Sera suddenly asked.
How did I end up coming to this village?
There was no way I could honestly say that I'm actually a tentacle monster who came here to fuck any decent females I find and steal a bit of the mana stones from the village.
"I was traveling and stopped by. I was in the Phrygia Alliance, but this time I wanted to tour the kingdom alliance. I crossed the neutral zone and kept heading up until I spotted the village."
"Oh...! Traveling."
Sera looked impressed.
"So, Oppa, you're a traveler?"
"Yeah, pretty much."
In this world, calling yourself a traveler carried a special weight.
A wanderer journeying across the world.
It was a romantic profession.
And being a traveler also implied that you were strong enough to handle yourself.
This world's forests and canyons teemed with monsters, places beyond the guards' reach crawled with bandits, mountains hid mountain brigands, and remote areas concealed dungeons. If you weren't strong to begin with, you could never dream of traveling the world.
'You could hire powerful escorts and use portals between connected places if you're an ordinary person... but...'
That required an enormous amount of money.
Most travelers were powerhouses who could at least rank as B-Class Adventurers.
"U-Um, Yu-jin Oppa, what are you going to do now?"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"S-Since you're a traveler... where are you headed next...?"
Sera asked hesitantly.
Anxiety flickered in her eyes.
Now that I'd revealed I was a traveler, she probably thought her and her sister's fate depended on my next destination.
A traveler was just someone journeying, not a hero out to save people.
I'd found Sera and Seri, but I had no obligation to rescue them.
Even if I said right now, "It was fun chatting. Take care," and left them behind to go my own way, sure, some might click their tongues and call me heartless trash, but no one would punish me or scold me for it.
Destination.
I casually opened my mouth.
"My next stop was going to be the Rondo Empire. It's famous for all the sights."
"Oh... I-I see... The Rondo Empire..."
The moment they heard "Rondo Empire," both sisters' faces darkened sharply.
The Rondo Empire was right next to the Roshel Kingdom, reachable by heading straight northwest.
In other words, it meant leaving Roshel Kingdom territory—the opposite direction from where Sera and Seri needed to go.
"But that's changed now."
"Huh?"
"I was planning on the Rondo Empire next, but then I found you two."
I grinned.
"I'll take you both to a safe village in the Roshel Kingdom."
"R-Really?"
Sera's eyes went wide. I nodded.
"I can't just leave people in trouble and go off on my own."
"Th-Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Sera bowed her head repeatedly. I waved it off.
"No need for thanks. More importantly, can you walk? If the village was attacked, that means you've been stuck in the basement the whole time."
When I asked with concern, Sera nodded vigorously.
"Y-Yes...! I'm fine. It hasn't been that long since the attack... I don't know exactly how much time has passed, but it doesn't feel like ages. We had emergency rations in the basement, so we ate, and neither of us is hurt. Right, Seri?"
"Yeah! Unnie."
With their answer, I relaxed.
"Good to hear. Let's head out then. We should cover as much ground as possible while you've got energy—that'll make things easier later."
"O-Okay...!"
I led Sera and Seri out of the basement.
Kiiiik—
Clank—
"Ah..."
Sera and Seri emerged from the basement and froze at the sight of the utterly ruined village, their faces stricken with shock.
They must not have imagined the village would be this devastated.
The village had already been hell when they hid in the basement, but after endless attacks afterward, it had become complete rubble. No wonder they were shocked.
"H-How..."
She stared blankly around the village until she spotted the two corpses at the entrance.
"Ah..."
"M-Mom!? Dad...!"
Sera and Seri rushed toward the bodies.
The sisters trembled in disbelief before collapsing over the corpses, sobbing heartbreakingly.
The bodies, presumed to be their parents, bore massive wounds to the chest and abdomen. They were still recognizable but beyond saving.
Sera and Seri wept for a good ten minutes before pulling themselves together.
"I-I'm okay now. Sorry... I just lost control of my emotions..."
"No, I'm the one who's sorry. If I'd arrived at the village sooner, maybe I could've prevented this tragedy."
"N-No... It's... it's okay now. These things just happen."
Sera wiped her tears and stood with a resolute expression, steeling herself.
"If you follow that road for three days, you'll reach Binbona, a big village. It has walls and solid guards, so it should be safe."
"Got it."
"We're ready to go. Right, Seri?"
"Yeah... I'm okay."
I watched Sera and Seri pretending to be fine, then glanced at their parents' bodies.
"We can go, but still. First, we should take care of your parents."
"Huh?"
I lifted the parents' bodies, which the sisters had been clutching and crying over.
"Monsters might come and trash the village more, or bandits might loot whatever's left—even rags. Your parents wouldn't rest easy. Let's give them a simple burial."
"Ah...!"
I buried their parents' bodies in a nearby spot in the forest that seemed safe enough. I smashed a large boulder for a gravestone and carved their names into it.
Sera and Seri gaped in astonishment as I broke the rock and etched the names with my finger.
Once the grave was done, while they weren't looking, I planted two spore tentacles, two drill tentacles, and one root tentacle nearby—for grave protection and as a village portal anchor.
I told them I'd be right back, generated N-36, and ordered it to guard the village.
Eating the human corpses would give a bit of EXP and nutrients, but preserving the evidence of this village's massacre was more important.
It could serve as proof later to verify my identity and good intentions.
'Eat any monsters that come. Signal me if humans show up.'
Tzuzup—!
If any humans who came were bandits, I'd order them eaten; if scouts, N-36 would retreat to Pedros Canyon.
"Ready to go? I wish I could bury all the other villagers too, but we don't have time. Sorry, but let's head out. Your safety comes first."
"Y-Yes... Th-Thank you so much..."
"Thank you..."
I patted the teary-eyed, grateful sisters, and we set off from the village.
Sera explained various things to me along the way.
I walked steadily down the path, listening to her, until we were suddenly surrounded by monsters.
"Grrr—."
"Grrk...!"
Thud, thud—
"Ah, Y-Yu-jin Oppa! Monsters...!"
"Wh-What do we do?"
Sera and Seri clung tightly to me, fear etched on their faces.
The path was close to the forest, so naturally, it was crawling with orcs and trolls.
Five orcs and three trolls closed in, licking their chops at their prey.
"Grrruu..."
The orcs especially had their massive cocks fully erect. They were eyeing the pretty Sera and Seri, eager to rape them and vent their lust.
'Not on my watch, those are my women.'
I turned to the anxious sisters.
"Don't worry. Trust me."
"Ah..."
"O-Oppa..."
I patted their shoulders reassuringly, then took a step forward.
Next, I generated magic orbs in my palm.
"M-Magic...!"
"Wow."
The swirling blue spheres were beautiful just to look at. Creating eight at once made it even more impressive.
I admired their awed faces as I fired the orbs rapidly at each monster.
Thwack—!
The monsters hit by the magic orbs exploded without a trace, as expected.
"Sleep well?"
"Ah, Oppa! Yes, I slept great."
"Sorry it was cramped. Should've made it bigger."
"N-No! Even this was so comfortable...!"
The next morning.
Sera replied with flushed cheeks.
After setting out with the Sera and Seri sisters, I'd walked the path all day yesterday.
As night fell, I built a small wooden cabin so they could rest comfortably.
With fixation fluid to hold the wood in place, it took less than ten minutes.
Sera offered to take watch, but I said magic made it unnecessary—I could sense approaching monsters. She went to bed reassured.
Such magic did exist in this world, after all.
Spells that rang alarms for intruders in an area.
I slept beside Sera and Seri, delegating watch to a generated N-37 slime.
Honestly, I could sense threats even while asleep, but waking up to fight every time was a hassle.
Far easier to let the tentacle minions auto-hunt.
The real issue wasn't monsters—it was Sera and Seri.
'Not easy.'
Having two pretty girls beside me made it hard not to touch. I wanted to turn tentacle monster and plunge into their tasty pussies right then.
But if I was going to force it, there'd be no point pretending to be a nice human guy. I could've just fucked them on sight.
'Plus, I want to experiment.'
I wanted natural sex with them.
And with this body, it seemed easily doable.
I treated them kindly to build affection.
With this plausibly perfect face and body, just playing the gentle big brother and chatting spiked their favor fast.
They especially loved stories.
Having lived rurally, my traveler tales from around the world had their eyes sparkling with interest.
'Good thing I played the previous game.'
I hadn't traveled personally, but my head was packed with Phrygia Alliance info.
A few fun episodes from the game's story were enough to make Sera and Seri laugh.
We bonded quickly, and two days later, we safely reached the next village, Binbona.
"Halt! Stand still and state your identity and purpose... Hm? Sera? Seri?"
The guard at the village gate tensed at me, then spotted Sera and Seri behind me and looked shocked.
The middle-aged man nearing his later years seemed to know the sisters.
He glanced between me and them, then relaxed his guard a bit.
"What brings you two here...?"
He asked them, and Sera explained everything to the guard.
Lilac Village had been raided by orcs and trolls, all buildings collapsed, everyone killed except them.
It was hard to believe, but coming from village residents Sera and Seri, the guard was stunned.
"G-Good heavens, how could...!"
I quietly listened to Sera and the guard.
He was currently on village watch but also escorted supply caravans to Lilac Village.
Seemed he knew several people there; he looked regretful at the news.
"This man is a traveler who saved us. He's not suspicious!"
"Hmm...!"
Sera vouched for me, and the guard nodded solemnly.
"Thank you for saving our Roshel Kingdom folk. You're a traveler—may I ask where you're from?"
His tone was far friendlier now. I repeated what I'd told Sera.
"From the Phrygia Alliance. I was in Hakapia territory, crossed the neutral zone into the kingdom this time."
"I see. Understood. I'll issue a temporary pass for now."
The guard opened the gate, and I entered Binbona Village safely with Sera and Seri.
"Sigh... What happened to Lilac Village..."
The guard clicked his tongue regretfully.
Sera and Seri's faces darkened, while I quietly marveled at this intact otherworld village—my first real look.
Binbona was much larger than Lilac Village.
Cities would dwarf it with advanced buildings, but here I caught a unique scent impossible in the modern world.
I entered the inn with Sera and Seri.
Sera paid; she'd grabbed emergency funds from the basement, so we had some spare coin.
At the inn table, Sera looked at me.
"Um, Oppa... are you leaving now...?"
Having safely delivered them to Binbona, my role was done.
"Yeah. Rest today, head to the Rondo Empire tomorrow."
"Ah..."
Clear regret crossed Sera's face.
Seeing it, I smiled inwardly.
They'd arrived safely and saved their lives, but the sisters didn't look happy.
Not just because their parents died and the village was wiped out—they'd smiled brightly on the walk here with me.
We had dinner at the inn.
"That was good. Thanks."
"N-No problem..."
The table felt a bit heavy.
After enjoying stew, bread, and meat, I went up to my assigned room.
Sera and Seri took Room 201 together; I had 202 next door.
After washing up, I sat on the bed and meditated.
'This human form... it's pretty damn good.'
Less meditation, more training: moving internal tentacles to better control this human body.
I extended thorn tentacles slightly to form shark-fin blades on my back or arms, practiced linking blunt tentacles to my fists for explosive strength.
'Endless possibilities.'
Human shell, but tentacle monster core—no internal limits. I could morph for combat in countless ways.
Not quite my true form's power, but even human-shaped, I punched above my stats—by one, no, two levels.
Swish—
That's when it happened.
Mid-experiment, I sensed rustling movement from the next room.
I reverted to normal human form and eyed the door.
Knock knock knock—
It was deep into the night, nearing dawn.
A knock, then Sera's voice from outside.
"Um, h-hey, Oppa... are you awake?"
