The Hero's Nemesis
Yeah, the mood was right, but that didn't mean I could just start panting like a dog and dive straight into sex.
Mood matters for this kind of thing.
Still... Almiraj's chocolate-toned skin glowing under the moonlight, her beautiful face, and that toned, elastic body were slowly clouding my reason.
Truth is, I'd been looking forward to this ever since she showed up late at night, but now that the expectation was becoming reality... it was seriously fucking hot?
"Ahem, ahem. Ahem."
"Why are you standing over there~? Stop clearing your throat and come here."
Pat pat. She tapped the bed.
"Uh, right..."
It was originally my assigned bed, yet it felt like I was intruding on her space.
I walked over timidly, brushed off the bed, lay down straight, and folded my hands neatly on my chest.
...Was I a virgin or something, damn it.
In times like this, a real man would pin Almiraj to the floor and say, "You fucking bitch, I'm gonna knock you up." That'd be the manly way.
[That's right! Let's go!]
Yeah! Let's go!
[Let's go!]
Let's go!
[Let's go!!!!]
Let's go!!!!
[...Stop talking and actually do it, you little shit.]
Ah, fuck, wait a second.
Why the hell was my heart pounding so hard just because I was about to have sex with her?
[Because she's pretty, obviously.]
Right? She's gorgeous, isn't she?
[Objectively speaking, a filthy-eyed little bastard like you doesn't suit a woman like her at all.]
You son of a bitch, manifest even halfway so I can beat the shit out of you.
[I can't do that right now, and even if I could, it'd still be your body.]
At that moment, a sweet scent tickled my nose.
A woman's fragrance so pleasant that the smell of alcohol felt trivial by comparison.
"Uhehe. What are you doing~?"
"Huh? Uh... well, meditating?"
"Meditating? What kind?"
"...Uh. Um......"
How to fuck you really, really well. That kind of thing.
Since I couldn't say that, I just made something up.
"You know, about that fight we had last time or whatever."
"......I see. You're surprisingly diligent."
"I'm pretty diligent, you know."
I turned my head.
My eyes met Almiraj's.
Naturally, our faces drew closer, and our legs tangled together.
Her eyes were originally black, but they sometimes glowed gold.
They were so beautiful, like jewels, that I ended up staring into them for a while.
Then I noticed something.
She looked really down.
"......"
"Whyyy~?"
She was trying to act relaxed, but I could feel the dejection in her voice.
Come to think of it, I'd never seen her drink before... which meant she'd been struggling enough to need alcohol to get through it.
I'd been blinded by lust. I hadn't even noticed something that simple.
"What are you thinking about with a beauty right in front of you~? Hurry up and do it~"
Her voice melted into a nasal tone.
That wasn't something the usual Almiraj would ever say.
Why are you like this?
Asking that would be simple.
But doing so might tear apart whatever pride she had left.
I could just keep it casual.
If I just held her without saying anything, if we just explored each other, later we'd both pretend nothing happened and forget about it.
But the knot in her chest would remain.
I slipped my arm under her neck and pulled her in.
"...Hmm. The type who starts with hugging?"
"Something like that."
She seemed to resist slightly as I pulled her into one arm, then settled down.
She relaxed her head and lay down using my arm as a pillow.
"...Stimulating me like this might be nice too~?"
Almiraj lightly rubbed her knee against my crotch.
Good. Really good.
While enjoying that pleasant sensation, I stroked her shoulder.
We stayed like that for a while.
Even she, who had been waiting for this, eventually realized I had no intention of having sex.
"...Not doing it?"
"Ow. I thought I wasn't sleepy, but I am. Let's call it a night."
"......"
"Let's just sleep like this. You said you didn't want to go back to your room anyway."
"......Hmmm."
Fortunately, Almiraj didn't get up.
I'd been worried she might get offended and leave, but even if she had, I would've pulled her back down.
Silence again.
Only the ticking of the rare clock in this world filled the air.
In the silence that was both uncomfortable and comfortable, I asked casually.
"Why did you drink?"
"Why do people drink?"
"Because it's hard?"
"Ding dong dang~"
Almiraj, who had been lying facing me, turned to stare at the ceiling.
After lying like that for a while, she spoke.
"You know, I had my powers confiscated just like you."
"Yeah, you did."
"Back then, I was so pissed off that I desperately trained, wanting to get back at those bastards who toy with people?"
"That's why you're strong."
Yeah. Almiraj was strong.
"Yeah. I'm strong."
Strong enough to take pride in it.
"But I'm only strong against people, not gods."
"......"
"The things I desperately trained for barely worked against the enemies I wanted to crush?"
"That's..."
Indeed, Almiraj was strong against people.
Originally, her goal was to eliminate the users in charge of the gods to screw them over, so you could say she'd succeeded.
But... still, being powerless against the gods, the very ones she'd targeted her whole life, must have dealt a huge blow to her pride.
"It feels like all my efforts so far have been denied, like I wasted my time, and I'm angry at myself. Why is it that even after getting your powers taken, you managed to beat Nanar alone?"
"I didn't beat him. I borrowed a bunch of powers, and..."
"Either way, you drove him off. I can't do that."
"......"
"...I'm pathetic. Not being able to personally punish those bastards, getting jealous of you... it's all pathetic."
I didn't know.
There was no way I could understand how it felt to pour your entire life into something only to achieve little.
The closest I'd come was losing Suryeon right in front of me, and even then, my enthusiasm had returned soon after.
Crucially, I had people who looked after a piece of trash like me.
Almiraj had been alone for a long time with no one to rely on.
She had every right to be exhausted.
So I told her the truth.
"Still, you did something big."
"What did I do?"
"My disciple beat the gods for you, didn't he? So it's basically the same as you doing it."
"......"
It was bullshit, but so what.
I grinned and reached out to stroke Almiraj's head... but stopped at her words.
"Don't touch me."
"......"
Sorry. This ugly bastard got carried away by the mood and acted up. Please forgive me.
But I soon realized that wasn't what she meant.
"Don't... touch me... Not right now..."
Her voice was trembling.
So I just gently stroked her head.
Almiraj buried her face in my shoulder for a moment, then shuddered once.
She could've cried her eyes out, but after taking a deep breath, she suddenly sat up.
[Hey. Hey, kid. She's leaving. Your fuck buddy is leaving!]
Shut up, fuck.
"I'm going."
"Going where?"
It didn't sound like she meant leaving the room.
More like... a farewell?
"You're leaving the kingdom?"
"Yeah. The Revelation and Sword Emperor Coalition are probably in chaos right now. They probably... won't touch me. They made such a fuss over claiming territory in the first place, so I'll hide until Ascartlop's turn... Ah. I'll show up and help then, so don't worry."
"I wasn't worried."
Reina was in the hospital, and Makia wouldn't move either because of the other users.
I knew that.
Now was the perfect time for her to leave.
Before she got too attached, before her motivation completely faded, she was trying to whip herself back into shape.
I should let her go now.
If I said "Take care" or "Next time we meet, be stronger" or "I'll be stronger too," it might reignite her drive.
But why the hell should I do that?
"Don't go."
I grabbed her arm.
She had some muscle, but it was still a slender, feminine arm.
Soft.
"I told you not to worry. I..."
"It's not worry."
"......"
"I just don't want you to leave."
"......Why?"
"Do I need a reason to not want something?"
I pulled her arm and held her in my arms again as I lay back down.
"Don't go."
"......"
"At the very least, I need you. You know... I don't know shit about paperwork."
"What the hell is that. You don't need me as a woman?"
"Huh? Uh... I dunno?"
I needed her like crazy, but even an idiot like me knew what mood was.
"...You're hopeless."
Almiraj laughed "Kyahaha" and pinched my nose... then nestled into my arms without any sign of leaving.
The sensation was really nice.
[Oh, ooh...!]
What the fuck, you bastard.
[This dumbass actually created this kind of atmosphere...!]
What the fuck do you mean, you dumbass????
"Surprisingly comfortable."
"Yeah?"
...Ah.
Come to think of it, I hadn't showered in three days while lying here, had I...?
Did I smell?
"What's wrong?"
"Do I smell okay?"
I decided to ask directly.
Almiraj laughed "Kyahat."
"Yeah. It's nice."
"......"
My heart was racing for no reason.
"I cast cleansing magic and such while you were asleep, so there's no way you'd smell bad or be dirty, right?"
"Ah, you did that?"
"Yeah."
"...Where are you touching, though?"
"Your chest."
As she said, Almiraj was slowly stroking my chest.
"It's firm. It used to be a bit scrawny, but you've been exercising consistently, huh?"
"Well, yeah..."
"Still, my preference is for much bulkier muscles. Try harder."
"Is that so..."
Her hand—when was it going to stop?
I'd planned to just fall asleep like this or wait until she fell asleep, but... this was getting me hard.
I tried to calm my dick that was trying to grow, thinking "Please, son..." and somehow held back.
But when Almiraj's hand brushed against my nipple, a shiver ran through me...
[Kid. Are you just going to keep taking it?]
Like hell!
I'm the kind of guy who pays back what he gets.
I moved the arm that had been propping up her head and wrapped it around her waist, stroking it.
"Uhm..."
"......"
Her moan... was insanely erotic.
Really, seriously erotic.
At least when it came to moans, she was more seductive than any woman I'd ever had sex with.
"Huu... That spot's a bit embarrassing?"
"Why?"
"Why do you think... It's just, as a woman, you know?"
I wondered what she meant, then realized she was talking about her fairly defined abs.
They were toned for a woman, but...
"Isn't that just the right amount? Honestly, it's fucking hot."
"...Your spot's hot too."
Almiraj suddenly lowered her hand and grabbed my dick firmly.
After so long, the intense pleasure made my dick leak precum.
"Hey, wait a sec..."
"Hmm? Whyyy?"
"Why do you think... this is..."
In revenge, I caressed near her navel.
Wow, the feel of her abs was insane.
I wanted to rub my dick against this place where firmness and softness coexisted.
Still, Almiraj was just gripping my dick tightly without stroking it, so it was still bearable.
Yeah... for now...
I'd acted cool earlier, so I couldn't just turn into a beast now, could I?
But my eyes were on Almiraj's deep cleavage and shoulders.
Meanwhile, Almiraj stroked my dick with one hand and my chest with the other.
Wow, this feels good.
Before I knew it, the smell of alcohol had disappeared from Almiraj.
She'd probably cleared it with Runar.
"Haa..."
A sweet sigh.
A sweet scent.
I was going crazy.
How was I supposed to hold back?
My dick was already twice as long as before.
"...How long is this going to keep growing?"
"Uh... I've never let it grow to its limit before..."
"Oh my? Really?"
Yeah. As she said that, she brought her face to my ear and whispered.
"Want to find out the limit today...?"
Along with the thrill, precum soaked my pants.
"...At this rate, your pants are going to get dirty. Why don't you take them off?"
"Ah, no. I'll just clean it with magic..."
"Nom."
"!!"
She bit my ear.
So reflexively, I grabbed and squeezed her breasts.
"Ahh...!"
"......"
Ah, that moan was driving me insane.
Now my mind had completely gone to the lewd side.
My raised hand didn't stop, and the hand around her waist also moved away to grab and fondle both breasts.
They were extremely elastic.
No matter how hard I squeezed, they bounced back to their original shape and pushed my hands away.
The elasticity was incredible.
While distorting their shape, I stimulated her nipples with my fingers.
"Ahng... Ah... That feels good...♡"
Almiraj also grabbed my dick with both hands and slowly stroked it.
I couldn't hold back anymore.
Completely aroused, I said,
"Let's cum together when I count to three."
"Whyyy?"
"If not, I'm going to rape you."
"Uhm..."
Almiraj frowned slightly as if she didn't like that.
...Was "rape" too crude an expression?
But soon her eyes took on a seductive glow and narrowed.
"Isn't it me raping you?"
"......"
Boom.
I climbed on top of Almiraj and leaned my face in.
I buried my face in her cleavage and sucked hard.
"Ahhn...!"
Chuuup, chuuuup.
"Uhehe... There, there. Good boy."
Almiraj was too erotic as she gently stroked my head and soothed me while letting out heated breaths.
I'd planned to start with foreplay, but I couldn't hold back.
I pulled off her thin jeans and tore off her sexy black underwear.
With my last bit of reason, I checked if Almiraj was angry at my rough actions, but she said,
"Oh dear, this is troublesome~"
With an alluring expression that didn't look troubled at all, she licked her lips invitingly, and without further hesitation, I lowered my pants.
Her clean, smooth, soaking wet pussy... twitching as if it would make me cum the moment I put it in.
I grabbed her smooth hips, and Almiraj looked up at me with expectant eyes.
And I thrust my dick into that furnace-hot place.
