Chapter Title: Outing with Lucy (1)

Gob's Perspective

Late at night. I headed to Sera's room.

Just like always, to sleep with her.

I didn't want to get caught after being with Kasha, so I washed up extra thoroughly.

Changed my clothes too, so she shouldn't notice, right?

-Knock knock.

I knocked on the door.

The door opened soon enough, and Sera's face appeared.

"Come on in. I've been waiting."

Sera greeted me with a soft smile. She was as pretty as ever.

I bowed my head politely and stepped inside.

Sera closed the door and followed behind me.

"Hm? Hold on a sec."

A voice from behind my back.

What the...? Something touched my ear.

I turned around to see Sera reaching for my ear.

"There was a strand of hair stuck behind your ear."

Sera showed me the red hair in her hand.

"It's Kasha's hair, isn't it?"

My heart sank.

No way, caught right as I walk in? I must've missed it behind my ear.

"Did Kasha bully you again?"

-Shake shake.

The exact opposite. I'd thoroughly disciplined Kasha.

"If Kasha ever bothers you, just let me know anytime."

-Nod.

Didn't Sera think much of finding Kasha's hair?

Well, she couldn't know what happened just from a strand of hair.

And even if she did? I hadn't done anything wrong. Sera was the one who encouraged me to get along with Kasha.

I was just feeling guilty for no reason. I wanted things to go well with Sera, but I couldn't let her ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠find out what I'd done with Kasha.

...Wasn't I doing something scummy right now?

Balancing on a tightrope with this disgusting two-timing mindset—the exact thing I hated most.

No. With Kasha, it was just sex, so it was fine.

I'd do right by Sera once we started dating. Right now, Sera and I weren't even anything official.

"Gob. What's wrong? Aren't you going to sleep right away?"

Sera said from where she sat on the bed.

She must've called me a few times, but I was lost in thought and didn't hear. No more overthinking—just sleep.

I lay down beside Sera. She naturally pulled me into her arms.

She'd realized she always ended up hugging me in her sleep anyway, so now she did it before bed.

"Mm... smells like cherries or something."

Sera murmured softly to herself.

A chill ran down my neck.

Her eyes were closed when I checked her face.

Good, it wasn't meant for me to hear.

I definitely washed up clean—how'd she know? Why did everyone have such sensitive noses?

I'd have to wash even more thoroughly next time.

...

...

S... s... Sera's steady breathing. She must've fallen asleep.

I burrowed deeper into her embrace.

Falling asleep nestled in her soft, fluffy body was way cozier and warmer than any blanket.

No loneliness, and her sweet peach scent lifted my mood.

Sleeping under Sera like a blanket—what a luxurious life...

The next morning. In the lab.

I made a proposal to Lucy.

"I'm going for a walk."

Lucy paused her magic circle drawing and looked at me.

-Nod nod.

I was heading into the forest for some exercise and a stroll.

I'd gotten an SP notification this morning.

Kasha's armpit had become goblin-exclusive, it seemed.

She'd been rubbing my cum all over it all day, so of course the scent soaked in.

Since Kasha kept her promise first, now it was my turn.

I'd present my sweat-soaked dick and satisfy her fetish.

"I'll come too."

Lucy suddenly wanted to tag along.

I'd planned to go alone?

"Need to gather some materials."

I stared at her, and she explained why.

It was dangerous and boring alone anyway, so fine...

Nearby forest path.

Dododo—

I dashed along the forest path on my short legs.

Being out in the woods after so long made me want to run.

I'd been cooped up in Lucy's mansion the whole time, but occasional walks like this were nice.

I spread my arms wide and looked up at the sky.

A clear blue sky stretched before me.

Whoa—nice weather—

"Chwiik!"

A cry from behind sent chills down my spine.

I turned, and a club came swinging at my head.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

Thud! Something burst.

Was that my head splitting?

I slowly opened my eyes. The club hovered above my head.

A transparent barrier was blocking it.

"Chwiik?"

The orc gripping the club tilted its head.

The two-meter brute looked surprisingly innocent.

"Gob. Let's go."

Lucy's dry ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠voice.

A sharp wind howled behind me.

Slash—the orc's head flew into the air.

Magic cast without incantation. That alone ended the orc's life.

Blood sprayed from its neck like a fountain.

The heavy body toppled over.

The headless corpse rolled on the ground.

A pool of blood formed below the neck.

I stared blankly.

Just a moment ago, I was the one about to die.

But in the blink of an eye, life and death reversed.

"Gob."

Lucy approached me.

‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠

I looked up at her dazedly.

Her usual expressionless face.

It was the same as always, yet felt so alien.

"You got quite the scare. It's okay. I took care of the orc."

Lucy strode over and pulled me into her arms.

Poof... My face sank into her soft breasts.

"Relax. You're safe by my side. I'll protect you for sure."

Lucy gently stroked my head.

Her fingertips felt cool.

My dazed mind slowly cleared.

I pulled my head from her chest.

"I'm okay now. Question."

-Nod nod.

I'd let my guard down completely, and seeing blood spray right in front of me made me zone out for a bit.

I'd forgotten what the forest was like. Erasing your presence was basic there, but I'd forgotten even that.

Some random goblin sprinting wildly alone? To the orc, I must've looked like easy prey.

Screw occasional walks being nice. I was reminded of the forest's dangers all over again.

"Wait a bit while I gather materials."

Lucy said that, then headed to the orc corpse.

She extended her arm toward it and crooked a finger.

The orc's dick sliced right off cleanly.

It floated into the air, then got sucked into Lucy's magic pouch.

What? The material she needed was its dick? What the hell was she gonna use an orc dick for?

"Done. Let's go."

Lucy started moving again.

I couldn't hold back my curiosity and pulled out pen and paper.

[What are you going to use that for?]

"The orc dick? Question."

-Nod nod.

"Process it into a masturbation toy or brew it into an aphrodisiac."

Lucy stated the shocking content flatly.

Masturbation toy meant... thrusting into an orc dick?

Didn't that give psychological revulsion? Wouldn't real human dicks stop satisfying after that?

Brewing it as an aphrodisiac was weird too. How do you even boil that down and drink it?

[Do people actually buy it?]

"It's pretty popular."

An orc dick was a popular item? The world really had all kinds of people.

"Want one?"

[No thanks.]

"Okay."

I resumed walking with Lucy.

Her limp orc dick kept popping into my head.

Think of something else. What fun thoughts...?

Did Lucy masturbate? I couldn't imagine her doing it at all.

Her biggest expression change was her eyes widening slightly.

Even Lucy—if I developed her sensitive spots with saliva—would she react?

I glanced at her profile. Expressionless even while walking, of course.

Lucy would probably stay blank-faced even getting pounded.

If she said she loved me in that curt voice while taking it deep... that'd be hot in its own way?

Twitch. My dick tip reacted.

Damn. What kind of thoughts during a walk?

At least it was a tame quest.

Just ask to hold hands? Would she think it weird?

I kept stealing glances at her profile, gauging her mood.

"What's up."

Lucy noticed my stares and turned to me.

Screw it—might as well be honest? Holding hands should be fine.

[I want to hold hands while walking.]

Something told me Lucy would allow it, so I asked outright.

"Hold hands... Okay."

Lucy extended her hand to me.

I hesitated a bit, then clasped it.

Huh? It was that easy?

Was this a date? We looked like a kid and an adult.

If this wasn't a date, what was? No real counterargument.

Hands got sweaty when holding during walks, though.

Luckily, Lucy's cool hand made it fine.

Her body temp was naturally low. Was her pussy cool inside too?

...What the hell was I just thinking?

I shook my head vigorously to chase away the devil on my shoulder.

Why did my thoughts keep veering weird? Too much sex lately driving me crazy?

Ding!

A message from the Demon King.

What? Why tell me now!

Wasn't I just turning into a sex-obsessed idiot?

This was maddening. How to fix it...

Lost in thought as we walked, I realized we'd wandered deep into the forest.

'Uh, we shouldn't come here...'

The thought flashed, but I forgot why.

Why not? What was the reason again?

Thud.

Thud.

Thud.

Heavy footsteps shaking the ground.

I turned around.

A massive figure towering on the path, at least five meters tall.

The monster called the lord of the forest.

An ogre. It had come.

Its slit-like eyes fixed on us.

It stared openly at Lucy.

With a grotesque thing stiff in its groin.
