Spec Up (6): Embracing Both Lovers
"...I didn't want to get in the way between you and Captain. When you're in love, just having someone else nearby is embarrassingly awkward—for both the people doing it and the one watching. So don't read too much into it. And honestly, I didn't go there on purpose; I just ended up wandering over there. Thanks for worrying about me, both of you."
"No. That's not it, Shae."
"Pardon?"
Their outfits were the same as before. But the atmosphere was completely different. Utterly different.
"Captain. Could you step out for a moment?"
"Huh?"
"I need to have a serious talk with Shae. It won't take long."
"O-okay. Got it."
I barely had time to catch my breath before I had to leave the room again.
"Shae. I'd like you to be honest with me."
"About what?"
"What happened back then, at the second rest area."
"..."
This time, Kaya was the one holding Shae's hand.
"After everything was over, we realized each other's feelings. Didn't we?"
"Yes. How could we not?"
"I never imagined I'd want something so desperately from the moment I was born. And that it wouldn't be an object, but a person—no, a human man, of all things."
I already knew this, but hearing it put so bluntly again hit differently. Shae lowered her head. Hendrick had never officially said anything, but with Kaya essentially declaring herself his lover... Shae had no confidence she could win against that. She gritted her teeth.
"I turned out to be greedier than I thought, and that greed soon turned into obsession. Actually, saying it 'turned' might be wrong—it might just be my ugly true nature. The dungeon simply brought it out. I fell in love with Captain for accepting me as I am, and I became obsessed with him looking only at me. I even felt jealous of you in the dungeon."
"I'm jealous of you too, sis. Even now."
"That's such a strange thing to say. A perfect woman like you, jealous of someone like me? Compared to you, I'm so utterly lacking..."
"No way! Don't say such nonsense! If you talk like that, what does that make me?!"
"Shae...?"
Without hesitation, Shae rolled up her sleeve. Kaya's eyes widened at the sight of her arm. Seeing that, Shae unhesitatingly exposed her leg as well.
"I got up first, so I saw your body, but you didn't see mine. So maybe that's why you think that. It's understandable. Here, take a good look now. Really look. You still think I'm the perfect woman? Oh, and FYI, my torso is even worse than my limbs."
"Shae."
"Look. You're just like everyone else—"
"So what did Captain say when he saw your body?"
"...Pardon?"
Shae faltered at Kaya's gaze, plunged into confusion. Kaya's tone was the same as always, and there was no disgust or pity in her eyes. She was simply asking calmly.
"What did Captain say when he saw your body?"
"Beautiful... He said he could swear it on the goddess..."
"And how did that feel?"
At Kaya's question, Shae recalled Hendrick pressing his lips firmly to her stomach. And the silver glow from the necklace.
"B-but it was dark then..."
"I understand. I felt the same at first. It's hard to believe. That the attention and affection I received could be real. That it's not temporary, or that I'm not mistaken. Or that Captain is just too kind, cherishing his comrades too much. That he pities us and takes care of us. That he has no choice because of our fate to clear the dungeon."
Kaya cautiously reached out to Shae's arm. Shae flinched back, but Kaya held her steady. Goosebumps rose as her hand touched the scars.
"Captain has always been genuine with us. I don't know what he said or how he held you. But if he saw your body and called it beautiful—if he swore it on the goddess—then he truly believes that."
"Even so...! I know! But you exist! You came first! Even if I look beautiful in Captain's eyes, you're far more beautiful! In the end, it was you who approached him first, not me!"
"If you'd swapped clothes, he would have gone to you instead. In Captain's eyes, at least—he cherishes us both."
"Liar! D-don't lie..."
Tears welled up in Shae's eyes. She knew Kaya wasn't the type to lie. But it still felt pathetic. Like the one not chosen was being consoled by the chosen one...?
"I don't want to put a burden on Captain, who's walking such a great path. I don't deserve to."
"Huh? A burden...?"
"If it were a strictly platonic comradeship, maybe. But hasn't Captain already become an irreplaceable man for both me and you?"
"Ugh, that's..."
"I like you too, Shae. The way you sweetly call me 'sis' and look after me—it brings me another kind of happiness. I don't want things to get awkward between us."
"Sis..."
"After you left, I thought it through. Unless we're starting from scratch like back then, excluding you like that felt cowardly. I benefited from your help, yet I'm the only one receiving Captain's attention... If I were in your shoes, I might have burst into tears right there, ruined the mood, and run out."
Kaya took Shae's still-held hand and pulled her to her feet. Then led her to the door.
"Sis?"
"Go call Captain yourself. The Captain who came running like the wind to find you."
"Yes! Sis...!"
Shae beamed. A single tear drop fell.
What the hell did they talk about?
There was no catfight between the women. Shae was crying and smiling, and Kaya was smiling too—something rare for her.
"Shae, you okay?"
"More than okay! Hehe."
She wiped her tears with her openly exposed arm and led me to the bed. Shae on the left, Kaya on the right.
Déjà vu?
Led to the center of the bed, just like before, I was shocked enough that my eyes nearly popped out at what they did next.
"Captain, staring like that..."
"I-it's really embarrassing..."
Shae on my left and Kaya on my right both started undressing at the same time!!!
Kaya, whose clothes were more like underwear to begin with, was naked in seconds. Shae, layered up more, took longer. Kaya's nude body was still dazzling no matter how many times I saw it, but I couldn't tear my eyes away from Shae undressing.
Shae's naked body, not in a dark dungeon tent, but in the bright inn room.
"He, hehe. Seeing it in the light, it's even worse than I thought!"
She was right. Scars I hadn't seen before were visible now, and the ones I had seen looked even uglier. But one thing hadn't changed.
"In the light, it's even more beautiful."
"..."
Shae's face flushed deep red—she was still pretty. I pulled Shae, who was trying to hide her body, into my left arm, and Kaya into my right. And for a moment, we stayed like that, still.
"I don't know what you two talked about. And I doubt you'd tell me if I asked. Right?"
Their flushed faces nodded. I wrapped my arms around their waists, placing my hands on their firm stomachs. Both flinched at once.
"I've been pathetic. Insensitive. Dishonest. I only realized after hearing from Kaya."
"No, Captain."
"No. I definitely acted like trash."
No matter the trigger, right now, I like Kaya. And Shae. And I couldn't let either go. I wanted to hold both to the end.
"So I'll say it clearly right here."
The position and mood weren't quite what I expected, but the situation itself wasn't bad.
"Kaya."
"Yes, Captain."
"Shae."
"Yes, Captain."
"This flawed man, worthless on his own... Can you stay with me to the end? As comrades, and... as a woman?"
My heart felt like it would burst after blurting out that I wanted both as my women. They're meekly naked in my arms now, but who knows about people. I felt their hands grip my shoulders hard. Their superhuman strength made my shoulders scream, but yelling would ruin the mood. I endured desperately.
An eternity seemed to pass...
"I'm the one begging. I want to walk your path to the end. As a comrade, and... as your woman."
"Me too! I can't live without you now, Captain? Publicly or privately. Hehe..."
No way... OK? For real?
They looked at each other, startled, then focused on me. Probably embarrassed even as women to see each other naked. I don't know what they said, but here they were, naked in my arms, giving the OK to my declaration...
Gulp.
Threesome? 3P?!
If this were a novel starring me, it'd be titled something like Basement Game Hermit Turns Playboy in Another World?
- Playboy my ass with just two.
Fuck?
For Han Yujin, once a modern Earthling, doing it with two at once was full-charge taboo thrill.
- So, you gonna do it or not?
'I'm not the type to turn down a feast.'
"Hauk!"
"Hyah?!"
My hands shot up from their waists to grab their breasts. A high-pitched clear scream from the left, a husky mid-low moan from the right—stereo surround.
Kaya's breasts? Shae's breasts? Soft and perky, or huge and chewy. Why compare? Breasts are breasts.
Touching the chests of beauties way above my league was thrilling not just from the feel, but the act itself.
"Ugh, haa, haaah...!"
"Hyaaang, haang, aaang!"
I kneaded both left and right breasts without favoritism. Rolled, rubbed, tugged their stiff nipples. They leaned into me, arched their backs, or trembled.
"Lift your heads."
"Huu, huut, huet?"
My mouth itched. I wanted a deep kiss. But Kaya, not hearing me, buried her face in my shoulder, shuddering. So I pinched her nipple. I assaulted her startled mouth.
Where you gonna run.
Devouring Kaya's lips, I grabbed Shae's ass trying to slip away. Shae's ass was big, like her breasts. I kneaded the huge cheeks freely, naturally sliding lower.
*Chuuup— Chuup— Smooch, *slurrrp*—
"Unng, nngut, hung...!"
"Ah, ah, aaa...!"
Two exquisite voices harmonized from both sides. Kaya's tones varied, but not her range—rich bass and baritone with tenor added. Full range, perfect harmony. Their direct earworm duet wasn't twice as powerful—it was squared, ear-gasm inducing. I could cum without doing anything.
Ah, right—mezzo-soprano and soprano since they're women.
- Fuck, why's a basement game loser nerd thinking so much trivia?! Focus on the view!!!
...Fair.
This time, I humbly accepted the gloomy self's sharp rebuke. Called a nerd, but couldn't retort. Alright, time to focus.
"Eut?!"
"Hyah!"
I stripped while pushing them onto the bed.
"Captain..."
"Haa, Captain...!"
Lying side by side, gazing up at me desperately—their nude bodies were a true masterpiece.
