Chapter Title: Outing with Lucy (2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The ogre glared openly at Lucy.
With its hideous member standing stiffly erect.
“―――――――!!!!!”
The beast let out a roar.
Leaves rustled and clawed at one another as they rained down.
The blast of wind whipped across my face.
I staggered—nearly losing my balance in that instant. One slip and I would've tumbled over.
The ogre bellowed loud enough to shake the forest. The confidence of a king.
No one around to notice it, so no wonder it brimmed with arrogance.
“Guh...”
I barely managed to exhale.
Steadying my breath, I racked my brain.
What now? Run? Escaping that thing's no easy feat.
It's a five-meter brute, fast as a wolf.
I've died to it twice. Knows how to snatch you in a flash and rip you in half.
“Ogre.”
Lucy spat the word flatly. Same dry tone as always.
Not even fazed by that monster? Doesn't show it?
“Snort— snort—.”
The ogre huffed roughly as it lumbered toward us.
Taking its time, sauntering over like it wasn't in any rush.
“Keruk keruk!”
I grabbed Lucy's hand with every ounce of strength and yanked.
“What's wrong.”
Lucy wouldn't budge.
What's wrong? We gotta run! Can't you read the room even with that thing right there?
Stay like this, and Lucy gets caught and torn apart too.
“Kyaaak!”
I dragged her along, yelling. Hurry up!
“You want me to follow.”
Lucy finally stepped forward.
I clutched her hand and bolted the opposite way from the ogre.
Thud— thud— thud— thud—
Heavy footfalls. Coming fast.
Glanced back—the ogre was charging.
Every pounding step made the junk between its legs swing wildly side to side.
Striding huge. It'll catch us any second.
What to do? Any way out?
No matter how hard I thought, all I saw was getting ripped apart.
Damn. Too late. Better if I die first and regress...!
I released Lucy's hand and whipped around.
Charged straight at the oncoming ogre.
“Bwoooook—!!”
Spotting me rush in, the ogre picked up speed.
Gonna smash me flat? Kick me flying?
“Kya aaaak—!!”
I screamed till my throat burst.
You bastard ogre, see you in the next life—!!
Right before slamming into the ogre, I squeezed my eyes shut.
Splat. Flesh exploded.
...
...
...
...Flesh definitely burst, but I'm still alive.
What? Already regressed?
I cracked my eyes open.
Filling my vision: something pulped to mush.
Blood pooled on the ground, thick chunks snagged on branches.
The ogre's horn rolled at my feet.
“Gob. You okay.”
Dry voice.
Lucy stood in front of me now.
“No injuries. Made sure no blood splashed you.”
Lucy asked so casually.
...Lucy did this?
Dropped an ogre that easy? I struggle against a single wolf...?
The power gap's insane. What is this woman?
“Words not reaching? Nod if you hear.”
I nodded blankly at her words.
“You hear. Body fine. Question.”
-Nod...
“Good. Now explain.”
...Explain? What? I tilted my head.
“Why try to die.”
Ah. Charging the ogre looked like suicide to her.
Was gonna die and regress, but wanna keep that ability secret.
Bullshit an excuse.
[I was trying to block the ogre.]
I wrote it on the notebook and held it out.
“Why.”
Asking the obvious. Gotta spell it out?
[To protect Master.]
“...”
Lucy's eyes flicked side to side over and over.
Reading the words again and again.
What's wrong? Did I mess up?
“Contradiction.”
Lucy's gaze locked on me.
“You're weak, I'm strong. You protect me? Contradiction.”
[Failed properly this time, yeah.]
“Not just this time. Don't help me. Weak get helped. Strong help.”
Her face stiffened. Drawing lines now? Nailing it one-sided?
Squeeze. I balled my fist.
I know I'm useless.
Know it damn well, but rebellion surged.
Not here for handouts. Wanna contribute too.
Pressed that grit into every stroke.
[Sometimes the weak protect the strong.]
Showed her, Lucy's eyes widened a touch.
[Just watch. Someday I'll protect Master.]
“You, protect me.”
-Nod!
“...Interesting.”
Lucy called it interesting, face unchanged.
She stared me down in silence awhile, lost in thought.
Bit awkward.... I averted my eyes.
Amid the ogre's sprawled guts, one intact bit caught my eye.
Ogre's extra-large cock.
Length around 50 centimeters. Thick as my arm.
Mesmerized, I drew near for a closer look.
Pre-cum beaded at the slit. Till the end, fantasizing about raping Lucy?
Bzzz— something hummed.
The massive dick floated up, sailed over my head, and drifted lazily to Lucy.
Slid right into her mage's pouch.
Taking that for use too?
“Gonna process this into a masturbation toy too.”
My curiosity must've shown—she answered unasked.
Dildo from ogre cock? Who the hell uses that monster? Humanly possible?
Ogre got hard for Lucy, so maybe fits humans?
What if Lucy got nabbed by the ogre?
Impaled on that beast dick, would Lucy react?
Lucy moaning and writhing on ogre cock...
Quest: Grab 'Lucy's Butt for 5 Seconds
⏰ Time Limit: Until returning to Lucy's space
🎁 Success Reward: 30 SP
⚠️ Failure Penalty: Body controlled, forced to molest Lucy
Huh? I'm not even erect?
-
Why keep shoving quests like this?
Telling me to add Lucy to the harem? Can't you see it's hopeless?
[They say you gotta compare long and short to know.]
Head throbs from that harem-pushing Demon King.
Glanced at Lucy. Same icy expression.
Never seen her smile once. Nor frown. Nor cry.
Seduce a woman like that...?
Damn. No need to compare me and the ogre to know which is bigger...
On the way back.
I trailed Lucy at a slight distance, staring at her rear.
Eyes glued to those plump hips. Lucy's got birthing hips rivaling Sera's.
Maybe even fuller? Lucy's tall, so bigger frame.
Almost back, but how to clear this quest?
Grab her ass outright? No guts. Fail means forced grope.
Inevitable? Better ask first?
Dunno. Just wing it.
“Keruk.”
Called out, made her stop.
“What.”
Lucy turned.
[Really sorry, but can I touch your butt?]
I scribbled on the notebook.
“What reason.”
Asking why? Red flag?
Lucy blank-faced. Can't read her.
Play crazy, shoot my shot.
[Wondering if your butt's cold or warm. Seems low body temp.]
“I see.”
...Silence stretched.
Gulp. Swallowed hard. Tension thick. Curse me already.
“Not sexual intent, right.”
Chill shot down my spine.
[Not at all. Why suspect?]
Hands shook—writing crooked.
“Sera warned me. Beware anyone demanding touch.”
[Figured. Why'd Sera say that?]
“High chance they see me as mating target.”
Damn. Sera gave the sex ed talk ahead.
Makes sense. I'd warn too with a babe like Lucy nearby.
Feels like some slick dude might trick her into trouble.
Gotta bluff through...
[Me, a goblin? How could a goblin hook up with a dragon?]
“Goblins can mate dragons.”
Classic Lucy. Can't skip facts. Yeah, I know goblins can bang dragons.
Meant how dare a goblin try with a dragon.
[Nah, no mating thoughts with dragons, period.]
“Why. Objectively prime mate. Strongest female alive.”
Lucy hyped herself without a blink. Killer confidence.
Crazier part: can't argue it.
Saw her pulp that ogre in a blink...
Still misses the point though.
[Not saying Master's unattractive. Too attractive—way out of my league.]
“What means.”
For real clueless? Lucy's gotta feel our level gap...
[Would Master marry me?]
Lucy's eyes rolled side to side, scanning the text.
Thump... thump...
Waiting for her reply, my heartbeat thundered in my ears.
Knowing zero shot she sees me that way.
Lucy's straightforward at first glance, but digs deeper and she's a puzzle.
Dunno what's on or off limits.
Dunno what she thinks of me.
Maybe... she likes me?
