By the time her tail's irritated flicking, like a cat in a bad mood, had softened into a gentle sway, I pulled away from savoring the sweet scent wafting from the crown of her head and spoke up.
"Big sis."
"Eek!"
"Huh?"
Looking closer, her ears were twitching nonstop, perked up, and her nose was wrinkling with every sniff.
There wasn't anything particularly smelly around... Oh, precum maybe?
Unlike her initial panic, as time passed, this big sis had been secretly grinding her ass against me on her own, making my dick swell even more and leak a bit of precum. That was the only thing it could be.
"Hnnng... Hnngh... Fuuuuh..."
"Big sis?"
"Sniff sniff... Snuuuff..."
"Hey, kitten."
Squeeze-
Her ears were right on her head, so she couldn't possibly miss my words, but this beastkin big sis seemed totally lost in something else.
Time to give her a bigger jolt, then.
"Nom."
"Hyaaah!!!"
One of her cute, twitching cat ears went right into my mouth, and as I chewed on it playfully, Sion's whole body shuddered and thrashed around.
"Y-You... crazy bastard!!!"
"Huh? Talking now?"
"S-Spitting it out right nowww!"
"Nom!"
"Haaaang!!!"
She let out a near-sobbing wail, her body trembling in tiny spasms, so I chomped down properly on her other ear.
Less fur than expected. Superior cat model?
And from her reaction, those ears were insanely sensitive.
"Hngh... Snuuuff... Fuu... T-Take it out already, you lunatic!!!"
"Ptoo. Look at all that fur flying. So why weren't you answering?"
"Wh-What?"
"Exploring, remember?"
"Oh... Ohhh!! That?"
"That? Don't tell me you forgot what to say 'cause you were too busy rubbing your tail and ass on my dick? Pervert."
"Snuuuuff...!!!!!"
Whether from embarrassment or because she had her pipe in her mouth, she couldn't respond, but at the word "pervert," she leaped up again.
But cradled in my arms, all she could do was lift her hips a bit, stimulating my dick once more.
"Cr-Crazy bastard!!"
"Yeah? What's up?"
"You... keep twitching... Hnngh!!"
"That's 'cause you're the one grinding on me."
"Me?"
Twitch!
As if she hadn't realized what she was doing, her grinding hips froze solid.
"D-Don't misunderstand... Snuuuff!!"
"Misunderstand what? I get it—you're crazy for a guy's dick after so long."
"That's not ittt!"
Her face flushed beet red as she denied it. I loosened my hold around her a bit, but she just pouted without leaving my embrace. I grinned.
"What? Denying it, but you still love being in my arms that much?"
"Youuu jerk!!! Fuu..."
Thud!
Finally, she glared at me and hopped down, scampering to the corner of the shop.
Of course, when she slid from my lap to the floor, I noticed even the outside of my pants was slightly damp from the leaking precum, but I pretended not to see.
"Big sis."
"..."
"Big sis~"
"..."
"Sion."
"..."
"Tiny kitten brat."
"Wanna die?!"
This time, she was hunkered deep in the corner, puffing on her pipe, but she snapped back fiercely at my teasing.
"Come on out~"
"No way, just leave."
"For real?"
"Yeah, snuuuff... Just go already!"
"Too bad. Might not come by for a few days. Really leaving?"
"...Hmph!"
"Was gonna buy extras of last time's stuff, y'know?"
"Lustful pervert bastard..."
"Everything except the topical aphrodisiac—bundle up six doses each."
After a while, I heard rustling, and she cautiously approached, holding six doses each of the drinkable aphrodisiac and the awakening agent-like drug with special effects that I'd bought from her before. She set them on the counter.
"Y'know, big sis, thinking about it—you're a cat."
"Cat beastkin, yeah?"
"Cat or cat beastkin, whatever—still impressive you run a shop like this. Don't stray hairs or whatever mess up the batches and ruin everything?"
"Fuck..."
"Oh, is that why the shop's always empty?"
"Ughhh...!"
"Whoops, too blunt. Sorry!"
"You rotten jerk!"
Smack-!!
This time, I just took the head smack without dodging. Yeah, that was kinda mean.
"Huff... Huff... I-I'm... even if I look like this...!"
"Look like what?"
"A-Anyway, my skills are the real deal!"
"Yeah, tried 'em—effects are no joke."
"But... but... Sniff!"
"Whoa... crying?"
Of course, people would hesitate to buy potions or drugs from a shedding beastkin alchemist without even testing them first.
Even in the black market, there were plenty of hole-in-the-wall shops like this, but also some big, reputable ones.
No matter how spotless she kept the price tags and shelves to look clean, the flasks with contents inside showed signs of age—they just didn't sell.
She was really stung by my words, sniffling pitifully.
Sorry about that.
I still had two and a half doses left of the topical aphrodisiac, so excluding that: six each of the drinkable aphrodisiac and the forced-awakening agent. Last time, three topical doses were about five silver, so ten silver should cover it.
Jingle-
"H-Hey... change..."
"Keep it. Just take it."
"You think I'm a beggar?!"
She yelled, bristling at my kindness.
"Nah, your stuff works great, so it's shop support—research funds or whatever. Keep it."
"Guh...!"
Her body trembled with indignation, but she took the money, ears and tail drooping limply.
"If I need anything else before heading into the Labyrinth next time, I'll buy here. Got it?"
"Th-That..."
"Not pity—your skills are solid, so I'm making you a regular. Quit grumbling."
"Th-Thank... youuu..."
She looked like she'd never thanked anyone before.
"Alright, heading out then. See ya next time."
Sticking around would just make things awkward, so I gave her time to think and left the shop.
"Crazy bastard, total pervert... Huff..."
Sion couldn't hide her flustered reaction to the sudden kindness.
Before she could sort her thoughts, Cain had left the shop. She grumbled about him.
"Always reeking of that slutty scent... Snuuuff...!"
Every time he visited, the female pheromones pouring off him were intoxicating. One main woman's scent, plus one or two others alternating—definitely not just fooling around with one or two women. Total playboy.
Still, he recognized her skills, noticed her shop's poor finances, and even tipped her generously. Super nice...
"Nooo!!!"
A regular who actually came often after years... Hadn't sold much yet, but he visited frequently like one. And bickering with him, smacking his head with her pipe—it felt satisfying and fun...
Fun was fun, but a pervert was a pervert.
More than that, today, beyond other women's fluids, the intense scent from his dick had her losing her mind.
Something that thick and huge... in her pussy...
"Kyaa!!!"
She'd played dumb in front of Cain, worried he'd tease her endlessly if he found out she had no experience. She'd brushed it off as "it's been a while," but actually, the first real male organ she'd seen was Cain's, when they first met.
She recalled her nursemaid's frivolous words during sex ed around when her chest started swelling: bigger breasts and cocks for women and men were always better.
"What's the point when my body's like this..."
The belle of the ball! With violent curves and a figure that even princes fawned over—now only her lustrous golden hair and eyes remained. Her current body was childlike, no matter who looked.
Her hips narrowing all the way almost brought tears, but with this frame...
"Hngh... Fuu..."
Before she knew it, Sion's hand drifted toward her crotch.
After beastkin transformation, she'd hated her cursed body so much she barely washed it properly, but after four years, her hand reached down there.
Squelch-
"Huuuung!!!"
As a kid studying magic, she'd masturbated often when stressed, but after her body changed, even though it was her own pussy, the unfamiliar shape and feel were like touching another woman's...
"S-So much... water...! Hngh!!"
Splash splash splash!!!
Panicking at the unexpectedly overflowing fluids, she desperately huffed her pipe smoke to steady her breathing.
"Fuu... Fuu... Wh-Why's my body...?"
The calming effect of the smoke was brief. Sion felt a growing heat rising from her crotch and started freaking out.
"Why... why's this happening? The aphrodisiacs are all sealed tight—no way it got on my hands... Haak!!"
If anyone had been nearby, they'd have seen Sion's human-like pupils slit into beastly ones. But she was alone in the shop.
Squelch squelch squelch squelch-!
"Haaang...! Haak!!! Snuuuff!!"
Freaked out by her uncontrolled body, she desperately kept the pipe clenched, moaning and exhaling smoke.
Even as she crawled instinctively to hide in the corner while playing around with Cain earlier, her fingers never stopped plunging into her pussy.
"Haaaang!!"
Squiiiirt!!!
"N-No! F-First... I gotta... sleep!"
Reaching climax, a cute jet sprayed from her crotch. She curled up tight and chanted a spell.
Hummm-
"Sleep."
Ting!!
Having cast sleep on herself, Sion's head lolled, her pipe clattered to the floor, and soon only her faint breathing filled the shop.
Today, I headed to the guild in the evening to meet Mion for a light date.
Unlike last time, no time to flex and set outfits, so she was in casual clothes as we left the guild—and ran into Hawk at the entrance.
"Oh, Hawk, long time no see."
"Oh, Cain... Hm?"
"Ah... haha..."
"Mion?"
Mion seemed more flustered than me. Why?
"Uncle Hawk... didn't you head out already?"
"Huh? Just chatting with another party leader, about to go now. But... you two look awfully close?"
"Hah!"
His face turned sleazy, like when telling Claude about new brothel girls, and he asked. Mion jumped.
"Right, Uncle, you overextending 'cause of our 1-gold guarantee?"
"Hm... Nah, just more expenses lately."
"Brothel's off-limits now—where's the money going?"
Twitch!!
"Ahem! Anyway, got stuff to do. Take care—Mion, hang in there, hahaha!!!"
He made a guilty face and bolted.
"Mion, your face?"
"Y-Yes?"
"Dinner time—I'm starving, sis."
"Hnnngh!!!"
Mion and Hawk looked more awkward than serious, so I didn't pry and headed off for our evening date.
