"Win the tournament and bring back the medicine?"

"Yes. The client insists it's absolutely necessary."

Remilia gave me a detailed explanation as I looked uneasy.

All the creatures entering the arena were just ordinary animals.

In this world, where monsters and animals were strictly distinguished, no monsters appeared. Even if they were enhanced with strange scrolls or drugs, it meant they were essentially the same as Bori at their core.

"Bori. What do you think?"

I asked Bori for his opinion.

"─Kyeng!!!"

He raised his upper body high and expressed his approval.

The moment he did, a surge of hot excitement rushed to my head. It was as if he was saying, 'Of course! Take me to those bastards right now!' Bori had been bored to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠the extreme after failing to catch any monsters for two straight days.

Haa. Of course he'd feel that way. I let out a small sigh at his predictable reaction.

But I couldn't accept right away. I wanted to go since Bori did, but my swollen belly was the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠problem.

"Do I have to go right now? It's just... hard to go out looking like this..."

I held off answering in a regretful tone.

Of course, my swollen belly wasn't the only reason to refuse.

'It sloshes around every time I move, driving me crazy.'

The lingering semen.

I gave an awkward smile and stroked my belly. Even after three days, the semen was still fresh. The sensation of it sloshing in my womb was felt vividly with every movement. Riding Bori in this state would send indescribable sensations prickling up my spine.

"It's fine. The event doesn't start for a while. Let me see..."

Remilia narrowed her eyes at the calendar.

"Three weeks from now. Three weeks and two days, to be exact."

Three weeks.

Fine. Screw it, let's do it. Three weeks was plenty of time to prepare and grow stronger. And above all...

'It's not just me who'll be growing.'

The issue was that to grow quickly, I'd have to keep mating with Bori...

...Haa. Whatever, I'll just live outside.

Nomadic life was familiar to me anyway.

I made up my mind and spoke.

"Alright. Let's give it a shot."

"I knew you'd say that. I'll let the client know you've taken the job, Raon."

I'd have to be active outside for a while. The winds were getting fiercer with the changing season, but it was still better than wandering around with a bloated belly.

I could forage for food in the nearby mountains and last three weeks that way. Bori would hunt meat, and with my dwindling funds, I'd live frugally for a bit.

Before leaving the shop, I turned back.

"Why me?"

There was no need to pick me specifically. I might be called a monstrous rookie snatching up C-rank requests, but adventurer Kim Raon was just a total newbie relying on Bori.

Remilia rested her chin on her hand, sitting in her chair, staring straight at me with an intrigued expression. She spoke exactly as her face suggested.

"Because you're interesting. A tamer, a female adventurer, and someone who doesn't rush in at the sight of gold."

─Swish.

I glanced at Bori.

"And that gray wolf over there is just as intriguing. He's getting stronger by the day. I don't know how he did it without drugs in such a short time, but... you have a real shot at winning."

─Clink.

She placed a bright yellow gold coin on the table.

"Advance payment. You seem trustworthy."

"Gasp!"

A single gold coin!

I pressed the coin lying on the table with my fingertip and slid it forward with a roll. Remilia chuckled as she placed the gold in front of me.

"C-Can I really take this? I was planning to camp out for a few weeks anyway, but what if I just run off with it...?"

"The fact that you'd even say that proves you're a good person, Raon. And you're low on funds, right? Take it."

"...What if I don't come back?"

"Don't worry. If time passes and you don't, Dad will come find you."

I had no idea what her dad did for a living, but anyway.

If angels existed, they surely had golden hair.

The day after accepting the arena commission.

I didn't spend the money Remilia gave me. Just in case something came up and I had to cancel.

I camped deep in the mountains far from the village. To get here, you had to cross the plains, so no human footsteps reached it. Thanks to that, I could move freely without worrying about prying eyes.

I'd occasionally loosen up Bori's body, or mate when heat cycle hit...

But starting tomorrow, I'd begin proper training.

'Status Window.'

I tapped Details and clicked on [Impregnation].

Just under 2 minutes left until [Limit Breakthrough].

I leaned against Bori, stroking my belly with a satisfied face.

As time ran out, my swollen belly flattened. Additional matings during impregnation didn't cause new swelling. It probably only swelled again with a fresh impregnation.

I waited blankly, leaning on Bori, for time to pass.

5 seconds.

I sat on the ground, waiting for [Limit Breakthrough].

"Uh, um...?"

Then, heat rose from my lower abdomen. My face flushed, my breathing grew hot—it was a strange feeling.

It wasn't heat cycle. During heat, I released pheromones to excite Bori. But Bori wasn't excited; he was calmly resting with eyes closed.

Relieved by that, yet anxious about what was coming, I watched the timer.

0 seconds.

At that moment, a new message appeared.

"F-Finally!!"

I jumped up with a beaming smile.

Limit breakthrough and a new skill! Bori narrowed his eyes as if wondering what the fuss was about, but the stat increase filled me with joy despite his grumbling. How much I'd suffered with single-digit stats!

"Bori! I'm getting stron—"

─Drip...

But the moment I stood, something hot and sticky flowed from between my legs.

"Ha, haang...♡"

The lewd sensation made me collapse, my waist shuddering.

At the same time, a musky smell assaulted my nose. I forced my hazy eyes open and looked down. What poured out was the semen that had filled my womb. Unable to escape due to [Impregnation] and [Expansion], it all gushed out at once.

It came out so forcefully that it soaked through my underwear—maybe even tore it a bit. It was flimsy and tore easily anyway, so no big deal.

I drooled and panted roughly.

"Haa, ha..."

No heat cycle. Good thing. I wanted to check my stats as soon as possible.

"St-Status Window..."

"W-Wow...!"

I stood again, ignoring the pool of semen between my legs.

'20!'

Seeing the number 20 made me jump for joy like a kid. Power surged into my limbs stronger than before. Of course—three times stronger than when Strength was 7.

"Yah!"

─Whoosh.

I punched forward, and it looked decent enough. Pathetic compared to Bori, though.

I then checked the [Entrustment] skill.

'...What the hell is this.'

Transfer my stats? Wait, my stats are 20, so transfer 20? What happens if mine go to 0? Clutching my throbbing head, I sighed inwardly until my thoughts cleared.

...Haa, fine. I wasn't expecting much anyway. Of course they wouldn't give me a normal skill. I don't know who gave me these powers, but they're definitely a bestiality-pushing bastard.

Still... it seemed useful. I rarely fought except for riding. Like a Bori buff. No cooldown listed, so probably usable anytime for the duration. I'd make good use of it now that I had it.

The concerning part was—

─'Bori' can force activation.

─That Bori could force it...

'Eh. He'll handle it well.'

He wouldn't use it to harm me, surely.

"Hehe..."

I grinned again and focused on the rest.

'Fill it up to the end for another breakthrough?'

But seeing the status window message, I couldn't help but pout.

Cannot further, huh.

'Like with Loyalty?'

When Bori's Loyalty stalled at 90 and wouldn't rise, a similar message appeared. Instead of doing something myself, a specific situation was needed.

'...Needs a trigger.'

Trigger.

The status window gave directions when certain situations arose. Telling me how to act. But finding the trigger was always on me.

Back then, the 'trigger' was mating. Spreading my legs, taking the wolf's cock. Filled with semen in my womb, pounded again. Lying beneath, moaning.

'...Gotta do something similar?'

What exactly? No clue. Just treating Bori well didn't seem enough...

I'd thrown away pride and identity. During mating, I was thoroughly female, moaning away. What more?

'...Getting stronger isn't easy.'

I glanced at Bori; he licked his chops. Reacting to the semen smell between my legs. Waiting for my arousal timing.

"...You're something else. So consistent."

Seeing Bori's carefree face made my worries feel pointless.

'Just treat him like always.'

I grinned, hugging his scruff. This fluffy texture never got old.

I stripped off my soaked underwear, wiped between my drenched legs roughly, and climbed onto Bori.

"Gotta go slow? Riding without panties hurts."

His straight fur tickled my crotch. I squeezed my eyes shut at the shiver and straightened my back.

'I brought a spare dress... gotta wash and change.'

Since isekai-ing, I'd worn pants, but lately skirts too.

Skirts felt more comfy now. Long ones to my ankles were best. So I carried spare dresses. No special reason—just easier for mating. Hidden dripping semen was a plus.

Pants were a hassle to remove, tore easily during sex. Minimal or no protection gear.

With this outfit, few saw me as an adventurer.

My nickname Wolf's Bride said it all.

"To our usual spot."

"Kyeng."

Bori moved slowly.

I gripped the reins low like during full sprints.

"Hngh..."

My flushed face was from fur brushing between my legs. Tiny vibrations teased my clit.

"Haa, uh..."

At the lakeside, we'd have fun proper.

Two weeks passed before I knew it.

I didn't visit adventurer town. Days of mating with Bori sporadically, raising stats. I hunted nearby monsters, foraged mountain plants to eat.

Unlike Bori's skyrocketing stats, mine barely budged. Two weeks of constant mating barely gained +5.

Only Submissiveness rose steadily. Haa.

"Haa..."

Moonlit, damp lakeside.

A shivering naked female and drying male tangled and lay down.

I half-closed my eyes, burying my face. Post-mating hug with Bori sometimes ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠felt primal. A human returned to nature. Primeval satisfaction warmed my heart.

Liberation, maybe. A feeling absent on Earth. Natural for civilized life, yet all the fresher for it.

I waved my hand to call the status window.

'Bori's status window.'

Bori's stats had soared too.

Authority hit 150, but I didn't feel it much. Bori only commanded during mating.

"...Achoo."

I looked up at the sky.

Gonna catch a cold ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠like this.

I gathered my scattered clothes and dressed.

At dawn, head back to the butcher shop.
