The Fall of Tailran Kingdom
The end of this journey was totally fucked. That was the conclusion I'd reached after much deliberation. I was fucked. Why? Just look at the elves outside the castle. The inner walls, plastered with artifacts bought from slave-trading profits. And now, the final bastion defending the royal castle had crumbled to a single arrow.
"Hey, Prime Minister."
"Y-yes, Your Majesty."
"Where did it all go wrong?"
The king of the Tailran Kingdom muttered from her throne in a slightly trembling voice. The woman who had been her childhood friend and this nation's prime minister for so long sighed and replied.
"Well... maybe when we got caught kidnapping the child of an imperial high noble and had to sign that unequal treaty?"
"We had no choice! They had three Swordmasters. They cracked the walls. The walls!"
"Or how about when we tried tempting a priestess into becoming a sex slave and nearly got excommunicated?"
"Is it wrong for a slave nation to sell slaves?"
The prime minister let out an even deeper sigh.
"How about this? Giving a wandering ronin a countship and land for kidnapping a dark elf, then putting that dark elf up as the main attraction at an underground auction?"
"Ah, that one? But didn't that blow over? You said we could sell her before the elves showed up."
"She was supposed to sell today and get shipped off somewhere else."
Boom!
Boom! Boom!
A massive rumbling echoed through the streets. The audience chamber's windows shattered as the captain of the royal guard knights came flying in. Dozens of arrows embedded in her body. Dripping blood, she barely staggered to her feet, took two or three steps, then collapsed.
"Uh... what was her level again?"
"Late Sword Expert... I think? She was right on the cusp of Sword Master, if I remember."
"Are those elves outside the main force?"
"No."
The king and prime minister exchanged glances and said in unison,
""We're fucked.""
The Second Great Elf Uproar came to a close just like that.
To cut to the chase, the dark elf Nairah Belen, rescued from the auction house, decided to join the party. The elves wanted her to come back with them, but she shook her head and said she wanted to adventure here instead.
"Something's off about the way she looks at you, Hero."
"Right?"
"Hmph. Well, the more onaholes, the better. And I was just needing a slave-born companion!"
"Why are you so obsessed with slave-born party members?"
At Karni's mild chiding, Eli puffed out her cheeks.
"It's a tradition passed down from the first Hero—every hero party needs a slave-born companion!"
"You never talk about traditions usually."
"...Well. But still."
"So, what's the real reason?"
"She's hot. It's romantic."
As always, it was speech utterly unbecoming of a saintess.
"No, but think about it—the story of a slave-born companion obsessing over and devoting herself to the hero who saved her? Delicious! She's a slave, so she knows nothing about sex, only hearsay and theory, and when it doesn't work, she whimpers in frustration? So tasty!"
"Nairah's a former sex slave."
"Oh. Yeah, she is."
Kairan glanced at Nairah beside her, and from behind her black veil, she stuck out her tongue long and lewd, making her signature hand gesture.
"Beeee~♥"
"Sh-she thinks being a sex slave is her true calling...!"
"What are you even saying, Nia...?"
Eli squinted at Nairah's lewd gesture, then closed her eyes and sank into deep thought, tilting her head this way and that. After a moment—
Clap! Eli clapped her hands and declared,
"Whatever, let's move past it."
"You're just glossing over it."
"Of course."
Eli nodded proudly, thrusting out her chest. Watching her, Nairah stifled a quiet giggle.
"Anyway, we should get moving."
Eli said, eyeing the Tailran Kingdom, which was turning into ruins in real time.
"Well... the original plan was to rest up here in Tailran, then head to the Maou Castle via the Snow Mountains. But... yeah, Tailran's done for."
"...Oh. That thing's collapsing."
At Karni's words as she looked toward the royal castle, everyone started turning that way one by one.
There, the royal castle—towering into the sky—was crumbling.
The Tailran royal castle. Its original name had been the Tower to the Heavens. It looked unfinished for a castle, because they'd tried building it taller than the imperial palace, got scolded once, and halted construction.
'They even banned the name Tower to the Heavens, I think.'
From the emperor's perspective, it must've looked like a challenge to the empire.
"Mm. Then let's rest a day in the nearest village and head to the Snow Mountains. We can link up with the Northern Hero there."
"The Northern Hero... what's she like?"
"Mm... who knows? She said she'd do a speedrun or something, but she's stuck around the Snow Mountains."
"She's alive, right?"
Kairan asked just in case.
"Yes, survival confirmed."
"Then... she's got her reasons."
Assuming there was a good reason, they headed toward the nearest village.
They arrived at the nearby village and immediately booked rooms at an inn. Kairan and Eli entered their room and flopped onto the bed.
"I'm beat."
"Yeah."
"Sigh. And this was supposed to be our nice break."
Eli grumbled, leaning her head on Kairan's shoulder. From the next room came various noises—probably Nairah trying to get friendly with Karni.
"Hero."
"Yeah?"
"This journey's gonna end soon, huh."
"...Yeah. Not even half a year yet."
"Right. I figured it'd take years at least. But nope."
Less than a month after the journey began, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Bellamorta, had been subjugated. Not long after, Gratos fell too, and according to the elves' intel, the lich Seraphila had fewer than ten life vessels left. The end of what they'd thought would be a years-long trip was right around the corner.
"What'll you do when the journey ends?"
"Dunno. Build a cabin and live there?"
"Pfft, why not say we'll live in the palace? A cabin? Come on."
"What's wrong with that?"
"That's only cool when you're on the run."
Mwah.
Eli pressed her lips to Kairan's and murmured.
Bodily compatibility lasts surprisingly long. Even if personalities or tastes are polar opposites, some relationships persist purely because of physical chemistry. Of course, that didn't apply to her and Eli. Their personalities and tastes meshed perfectly—and with their bodies syncing up too, the spark between them only burned hotter, never fading.
"Tonight, I'll take the lead."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah."
Eli nodded slightly, then pushed Kairan down. Kairan lay back on the bed, and Eli loomed over her, grasping Kairan's cock and lifting it. She spread Kairan's legs, kissed the balls lightly, then lifted the heavy, hot sack to reach the hidden pussy beneath, pressing her tongue to it.
The first taste was sweet, but it ended with a slight tangy aftertaste. Eli swallowed the sticky nectar stretching long from her tongue, then plunged it deep inside.
"Nngh...!"
"Chuuuurp♥"
She shook the massive cock with her hand while licking the pussy. But what was throbbing, ready to burst, was Eli's own dick. Swollen to the brink, veins bulging starkly against her pale skin, pulsing visibly.
"Hnnngh."
"What, can't hold back?"
"...Yeah."
At Kairan's amused question, Eli blushed—from cheeks to ears in seconds.
"Fuck me already."
"...! Ngh. O-okay, geez."
"Pfft. You're so cute whe—shlurp—nngh♥"
Squelch!
Mid-sentence, Eli's cock slammed in. Kairan shuddered as it pierced straight to her womb in an instant.
"Hah, haaah...♥ So tight♥"
"Of course. This pussy's yours only—no one else can use it."
"Hah, haaah♥ Hn, haaah♥"
"Hng, ngh... W-wait. T-too fa—fast..!"
Slap! Slap! Slap!
From the start, Eli ramped up the pace, pressing her body fully against Kairan's and pistoning wildly. She prodded the womb relentlessly, stirring Kairan's pussy—now perfectly molded to Eli's cock shape. A custom pussy only she could use. Nothing like the roadside bitch onaholes. Entranced, Eli bucked her hips like a woman possessed.
"Hah, ngh... N-ngh♥ Ngh, nng... Ahhhn...♥"
"Hero! Hero! Ah, aaaaah♥"
Spurt! Spluuurt!
First load. Cock jammed tight against the womb, semen gushing through, flooding Kairan's insides. It bloated her belly, and even as excess leaked out, Kairan panted raggedly.
"Hah, haah...♥ H-hah."
"Hero...!"
"W-wait...! Catch your—breath! Too fast, I said♥"
No sooner had the first climax ended than the pistoning resumed. As sweet moans started spilling from Kairan's lips, Eli activated her reinforcement technique, slamming even harder and faster. Flesh slapped tight, deep kiss. Tongues tangled, and as lips parted, a long silver strand connected them.
"Hero! Ahh, Hero!!"
"Ngh, mmp♥ Hn, haaah... Ngh♥"
"Hero♥ Hero!!"
Second load, then third, fourth... With futanari stamina and body reinforcement, even Kairan couldn't keep up leisurely. Breath came in gasps, the bed soaked in her nectar and Eli's semen. Sweat-matted hair clung to skin, body steaming hot.
"Hah, haaah...!"
"Eli...!"
"H-Hero...♥ Haa, haaah♥"
"...Jeez."
Already asleep? Sleep-talk and faint snores followed. Kairan let out a wry chuckle at Eli, cock still buried deep inside her.
"Hah, really...!"
"Mmm... Hero...!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm here."
"Hero.... K-Kairan...!"
Kairan paused her gentle stroking of Eli's back.
"K-Kairan... Love... you...♥ Hnngh...!"
"...."
"So... gooood...!"
In response to the sleep-talk, Kairan whispered,
"...I love you too."
