A quest window popped up.
Quest: Knead 'Sera's Breasts
⏰ Time Limit: 1 minute
🎁 Success Reward: 50 SP
Failure Penalty:
1. Temporarily greatly enhance lust.
2. Permanently slightly enhance lust.
Damn it. I knew it.
Tap tap. I hurriedly smacked my injured arm. It was a signal to hurry up and apply the medicine.
"Sorry. I came to put on some medicine, but I got too distracted."
Sera unwound the cloth wrapped around my arm.
The wolf's bite marks were revealed.
"It's almost healed already. Once I apply the medicine, it'll be fine."
Sera opened the lid of the medicine bottle and dripped the ointment onto the wound.
A slightly sticky liquid oozed out across my arm.
"Tell me if it hurts."
Sera carefully spread the medicine over it.
And just like that, a minute passed.
Penalty applied.
Blood was rushing to my crotch.
I glanced down and saw a slight bulge under the cloth covering my groin.
It was subtle enough that you'd only notice if you looked closely.
Right now, at this moment, I was glad my dick was small. Please don't notice.
"There, all done."
Finally over?
"Now I'll wrap it with a bandage."
Sera pulled out a roll of bandages from her bosom.
She even brought bandages? What is she, a saint?
I wanted to refuse the excessive kindness, but I had no excuse or means to communicate it.
"Can you lift your arm a bit?"
I raised my left arm.
Sera slipped it in and wrapped the bandage around.
Our distance closed too much, and her body heat and scent hit me all at once.
Every time the peach-like fragrance swirled in my nose, my dick twitched.
Should I just fuck her senseless? Pin her down and teach her a lesson?
Just as lust started overtaking my mind, Sera pulled away.
"All done. Try moving it?"
I moved my bandaged left arm around.
It felt a bit stiff, but I could move it without issue.
"I've applied the medicine, so I should head out now."
Sera stood up and dusted off her butt.
My eyes locked onto that plump ass. Petite frame, but a perfect childbearing hip.
I wanted to grab it with both hands and knead it wildly. Take a big bite.
Ram my dick in so hard it claps—
"Aren't you going to see me off?"
Sera's voice snapped me back. What the hell was I just thinking?
These vulgar thoughts I wouldn't normally have kept popping up. Has my brain really been pickled in lust?
I staggered to my feet awkwardly.
If I stood straight, the erection would show, so I leaned my hips back a bit.
"Why are you standing like that? Does it hurt somewhere?"
Sera tilted her head and scanned my body.
Her gaze, which had been on my upper body, slowly drifted downward...
And fixed on my groin.
"...!"
At that moment, Sera's eyes widened.
Her dilated pupils lifted and met mine.
"...." "...."
An awkward silence stretched as our eyes locked.
Sera's gaze dropped back to my groin.
In the end, I squeezed my eyes shut.
...Several seconds passed like years.
"I'm going."
Sera's voice was deeply subdued.
What was she feeling?
Anger? Disgust? Contempt?
I didn't have the courage to face her, so I couldn't open my eyes.
Creeak. Thud. The sound of the door opening and closing echoed.
The now-empty cabin was filled with silence.
Even without cumming, the arousal subsided.
『Sera's Perspective』
Sera burst out of the cabin and sprinted toward Lucy's house.
"Haa... Haa..."
She was out of breath. Thick saliva gathered in her mouth. Her thighs felt heavy. Her calves cramped tight.
But she didn't stop running.
'I have to get back quick.'
The curse was lifting. The Yin Energy was leaking out.
She had broken her promise to Lucy and ventured deep into the forest.
The forest monsters would be drawn by the Yin Energy.
'Faster, even faster!'
If the monsters surrounded her, she'd die.
It wouldn't even be a clean death. She'd be brutally ravaged by monsters in heat.
Monsters and beasts had no mercy. They'd yank without holding back.
Her limbs could be torn off. They'd treat her like a slave or a hunk of meat.
And even after death, it wouldn't end. They'd defile her corpse until their heat subsided.
'Better to die running.'
Even as her lungs felt like bursting and her breath seemed to stop, Sera kept running.
...She desperately made it home.
Bang! Sera kicked open the door and rushed in.
"Haa..."
Sera let out a long sigh of relief.
"Haa... Haa..."
Her chest heaved up and down repeatedly. Her ragged breathing gradually calmed.
"What happened."
At that moment, Lucy's voice came from right above Sera's head.
Sera looked up and met eyes with Lucy, who was gazing down at her.
"Lucy, I need 'Purification'."
Sera stood and faced Lucy.
"Why."
"Yin Energy leaked out."
"...."
Lucy just blinked silently. She looked spaced out on the surface.
In reality, she was probably checking for Yin Energy. Lucy could see it with her eyes.
"You're already purified. No Yin Energy is leaking."
The answer after the wait was a denial.
"What? No way."
Whether Sera was shocked or not, Lucy remained nonchalant.
"You don't believe me."
The pride of being the strongest race, dragons—and the strongest among them.
Pride, along with curiosity, were words that defined Lucy.
"No. Of course I believe you. I wasn't doubting; I was just too surprised."
Sera trusted Lucy's words implicitly.
"One purification holds for about a week. The last one was three days ago, so roughly four days left."
"I see..."
If Lucy affirmed it, then it really wasn't leaking.
Then what was it? Gob's crotch had definitely been bulging.
Considering his awkward stance and flustered eyes, he was aroused for sure.
'It wasn't because of my Yin Energy?'
If not the Yin Energy's influence, why?
Did he get purely aroused just from her wrapping his bandage?
"What happened."
Lucy's voice pulled Sera back to reality.
No point brooding alone. Should she ask Lucy?
"What do you think about monsters that understand human speech? Can monsters understand people?"
Sera asked without much expectation.
"Possible."
"Really!? Have you seen one?"
"The Demon King understood human speech."
Her excitement plummeted instantly.
Come to think of it, monsters varied widely. She needed to narrow it down.
"No, not the Demon King. Among lower-intelligence monsters."
"How low."
"Gob... I mean, orc level?"
She almost said goblin but switched to orc to avoid being too obvious.
"Impossible."
"Yeah, figured..."
Sera agreed with Lucy.
Common sense said goblins couldn't understand speech.
Dogs or cats might seem to understand, but they just reacted to specific words.
'Then what is Gob? He understood specific words too.'
As Sera racked her brain,
"Sera. Why did you suspect Yin Energy was leaking."
Lucy pressed suddenly.
"Uh... Just suddenly felt like it. Sometimes I get sensitive, you know."
"You were certain. Sensitivity isn't enough reason."
"You wouldn't get it as a dragon, but humans are like that sometimes. 'Guess I need a shower~.'"
Sera dodged and headed for the bathroom.
No medicine bottle to threaten with this time, so she'd have to let it slide.
As she hurried away, Lucy followed persistently.
"Answer me. I'll chase you until you do."
Lucy's curiosity was fully ignited.
"Just had a feeling."
"You're sweating a lot. Was there an emergency? Chased by something?"
"Just ran for exercise."
"Why ask about speech-understanding monsters. It was out of nowhere."
"Just got curious suddenly."
Lucy's relentless questions continued until they reached the shower room.
"You're not coming into the shower room, right?"
"I plan to."
"I want to shower alone."
"Then I'll wait here."
Leave her be, and she'd tail her for three days straight.
"Please don't. It's burdensome."
"Then answer my questions."
This would go on forever.
Time to pull out the trump card.
"Do I have to say? You keep things from me too."
"Nothing hidden."
"Liar. Then tell me why I lose my memories."
"That's..."
Sera's trump card was her lost memories.
Sera's memories would suddenly skip days into the future.
Yesterday was the 3rd, but she wakes up on the 7th.
Sometimes a week passed, or over a month.
"You won't answer why I have Yin Energy, why I don't age."
Whenever she asked about changes in her body, Lucy clammed up.
"Or why I don't feel lust for humans but do for monsters."
Lucy's eyes sank into abyssal depths.
