Chapter Title: Pretty but Suspicious Girl (4)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe that's why you can't feel any lust for humans, but you do for monsters."
"…."
No matter how much she pressed, Lucy remained silent.
He wished she'd say something—anything—but the moment this topic came up, she clammed up completely.
"Who are you, anyway? Why are you sticking around me?"
Lucy's eyes widened for a split second.
She quickly cast her gaze downward, like a scolded child.
"You're right. I have something I'm hiding from you too."
She muttered low, staring at the floor.
"I'll ask about today later."
With that, Lucy turned and walked away.
Left alone, Sera…
'Phew~ Barely chased her off.'
…let out a quiet sigh of relief.
She felt a little bad for upsetting Lucy, but this was the only way—otherwise, she'd never let it go.
When Lucy's curiosity kicked in, the only thing that shut her down was questions about her "memories."
She couldn't bring up Gob, so this was her only option.
Sera stripped off her clothes and stepped into the bathroom.
Shwaaa—warm water poured from the showerhead mounted on the wall.
"Haa…"
As her muscles relaxed, a lewd little moan slipped out.
'I'll visit Gob once more tomorrow. Gotta confirm if he really got excited.'
Sera mulled over her next plan, basking in the languid warmth.
'But how do I check? Is there a way to turn him on?'
With zero dating experience, it was a daunting puzzle.
'They say all guys love boobs…'
The source was a lesbian, so reliability was questionable.
But if it was true…
Boing, boing. She cupped her breasts from below and bounced them up.
Breasts as big as her head—no, bigger—jiggled softly.
'Maybe I can tempt him with these?'
They were so huge and cumbersome, she'd love to ditch them if she could.
But this time, they might actually come in handy.
Whenever she went out and ran into males, their eyes locked straight onto her chest.
Once, an orc had blatantly popped a boner right in front of her.
And a group of hunters had sexually harassed her another time.
'Ugh… Still creeps me out thinking about it.'
Sera felt no lust for humans. Their stares just disgusted her.
Like a gay guy leering at your junk with thick lust in his eyes.
That was why she always wore loose robes—to hide her figure.
'But with Gob… maybe it'd be okay.'
Small and weak, but brave enough to rush in and save someone.
Grumbling constantly, yet too kind to refuse when pushed.
Not handsome, but somehow cute in his goblin way.
"Heehee."
Imagining teasing Gob brought a giggle bubbling out of Sera.
『Gob's Perspective』
Another uninvited guest showed up at his always solitary shack.
"Gob~ I came to check on you~."
Sera's voice called from outside, but he ignored it.
Keep meeting like this, and eventually he'd slip up because of the quest window.
That would end badly for both of them.
Spilled water can't be gathered up again. Better not spill it in the first place.
"Brought some fruit to share~."
Trying to lure him with one fruit? Who does she think he's fooling?
If he were a real goblin, he might've fallen for it—but he's a former human.
A fully educated intellectual from South Korea, no less.
"For real~ It's called rabechoco. Wonder if you know what that is~?"
He flinched. His ears twitched reflexively.
"Don't know what rabechoco is? It's super tasty~."
He knew. Rabechoco. A fruit that tasted just like the signature flavor from that famous ice cream company.
Back when he spied on humans, he'd seen them devour it so eagerly that he tried some himself.
And yeah, he got it. Tasted like chocolate.
Gulp. He swallowed the saliva pooling in his mouth.
But he wouldn't cave to mere hunger.
…After stubbornly holding out for about five minutes.
"Did you go out~? Sigh, guess I'll just leave the basket then."
Sera sounded like she was leaving.
Thud. Thud… Thud… Footsteps receding from the door.
Did she go? If he went out now, he'd run into her—better wait a bit.
…Five minutes later.
Figuring it was safe, he cracked the door open.
Glanced around. No one there.
About two meters from the door sat a basket of fruit.
Rabechoco. He counted from afar—six? No, seven.
"Kekket!"
Laughter burst out. How long had it been since he'd had rabechoco?
One step out the door, two steps, three.
The moment he grabbed the basket handle to lift it—
Whoosh! A pair of hands shot out from behind.
Arms slid past his sides and wrapped around him.
"Gotcha~!"
Sera's cheerful voice rang out as his body lifted into the air.
"Keruk!?"
He flailed his legs, searching for ground, but kicked only empty air.
"Kyaaak!" Put me down!
"Hehe~ No way. Be good!"
Sera hugged him tighter.
Something soft squished firmly against his back.
He struggled to escape, but Sera didn't budge an inch. How strong was she?
Even if he was small, he wasn't feather-light—and she was definitely no ordinary girl.
Finally, he gave up the pointless resistance and let Sera hold him.
"Knew you knew rabechoco too. Couldn't resist, huh~?"
Sera whispered in his ear. It tickled.
"Promise to eat together and I'll let you down. Wanna share?"
-Nod nod.
Fine, just put me down already.
"Promise?"
-Nod.
I said yes.
"Okay."
Thud. His feet touched the ground.
He snatched up the fruit basket, then turned around. His eyes met Sera's, who was looking down at him.
Poke poke. He pointed at the basket with a finger, then toward the human village.
"Just eat the fruit and go?"
Sera understood perfectly.
-Nod nod.
"Hmm… Got it. Then can I come in?"
Sera gave in surprisingly easily. Planning to barge in anyway?
Suspicious, but he had no way to resist.
…
Rabechoco. Shaped like a blue apple. Tasted like chocolate.
Seemed like a weird combo, but it was delicious.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch…
One hand holding rabechoco, the other a knife as he peeled it.
"Wow~ You peel fruit really well."
Sera, sitting across from him and watching, spoke up.
"Even better than me?"
Of course he was better. He'd been a chef in his past life.
Goblin body or not, his cooking skills remained intact.
Plop. He placed a neatly peeled piece on a clean plate.
"But where'd this plate come from?"
Sera pointed at it with her index finger.
"Did you find it somewhere?"
She narrowed her eyes as she asked.
-Shake shake.
He shook his head vigorously.
A chef had his pride—no serving food on a scavenged plate.
"Then… did you steal it?"
-Nod.
Snuck into a restaurant at night and took it.
So relax.
"You can't steal from people! Big sis is gonna punish you~."
Sera put on a stern face and scolded him.
She'd make a great kindergarten teacher. The kids would walk all over her.
"If you need something, big sis will buy it for you. No more stealing from people, got it?"
"…."
He blinked at her.
How would she know what he needed to buy it?
"Got it!?"
…Nod.
Not convinced, but her intensity won out, and he nodded.
Plop. Another fruit piece on the plate.
Now two pieces sat there.
Grab. Sera reached out and picked one up.
"Here, try one first."
She offered him the rabechoco.
-Shake shake.
He shook his head.
Eating from her hand felt too embarrassing.
They weren't lovers or anything.
"Come on, eat it. I brought it for you—try it first."
"…."
He stared blatantly at Sera's face for no reason.
"Huh? What's up?"
She tilted her head innocently, eyes sparkling.
Was she only thinking of him?
Well, no way she'd get flustered over a goblin.
Feeling foolish for caring alone, he obediently opened his mouth.
"Good boy~."
Sera shoved the fruit in like she'd been waiting.
Crunch crunch. Crisp texture.
Sweetness spread through his mouth.
"How's it taste? Good?"
-Nod.
Just as he'd hoped.
…Before long, sharing pieces amicably, only one rabechoco remained.
The moment he picked up the last one to peel—
"It's kinda hot in here. M-maybe 'cause it's so cramped?"
Sera's voice trembled suddenly.
Her eyebrows twitched too.
"Getting sweaty—better take off the robe."
Click. Sera undid the front clasp of her robe.
The robe fell open, revealing what lay beneath.
…!!! His eyes flew wide.
A plain white short-sleeved top. Fine so far.
But soaked with sweat, her skin showed right through.
No way—she was drenched enough to strip sooner. Why hold out?
Was she fine showing him this? Did she not care since he was a monster? No clue.
Pink nipples translucent through the fabric.
Instinct kicked in before he could think.

Damn. Popped up again. Gotta send her away fast.
Crunch, crunch—he hurriedly peeled the last rabechoco.
-Flutter flutter.
Something fluttered in front of him.
What was that? He looked up to see Sera fanning her chest with her hands.
With each motion, wind rustled in and out of her clothes.
Air brushing past her sweat-slicked female body, those massive tits.
The shack filled with her female scent, sweeter than the fruit.
Drunk on it, he stared holes through Sera's breasts.
"Gob!"
Sera called out loudly.
He jolted guiltily.
