『Gob's Perspective』

I sat across from Sera with the hearth between us, carrying on a conversation.

It wasn't your typical chit-chat. She'd ask a question, and I'd respond by nodding or shaking my head.

"Yawn. It's about time to hit the hay."

After talking for a good while, Sera let out a yawn.

Even her yawning was cute.

"Shall we get some sleep now?"

*Nod.*

Honestly, gazing at Sera's beauty kept me wide awake, but if she said it was bedtime, who was I to argue?

"I tend to talk in my sleep a bit. If it's too noisy, wake me up, okay?"

*Nod.*

Even if her sleep-talking brought the hut crashing down around us, I had no intention of disturbing her rest.

Once I confirmed she'd settled into the bundle of dry grass, I lay down in my spot too.

Sharing a hut with her like this made my insides twist in a strange way.

A sweet scent seemed to waft through the air for no reason, and I cracked my eyes open to sneak peeks at her sleeping form.

Time with her felt too precious to waste on sleep.

...That's how I lay there, eyes wide open, for about fifteen minutes.

"Hnggh..."

Sera started letting out groans.

At first, the mood made it sound kinda lewd, but no—it was clear she was in distress.

Was this what she meant by sleep-talking?

"Haaah... No... Ahh...!"

The groans grew more intense until she sounded like she was being tortured.

This seemed serious. Should I wake her?

Not for my sake, but for hers—I needed to pull her from that nightmare.

I grabbed her shoulder and shook it gently.

Sera's eyes snapped open as she jolted awake.

Our eyes met, and she seemed to grasp the situation; her wide pupils slowly calmed.

"Sorry. You woke up because of me."

She apologized right away.

*Shake head.*

I hadn't even fallen asleep in the first place.

"Every time I sleep, I have these nightmares."

She mumbled with a deflated look.

This was the first time I'd seen her so down.

No wonder she was exhausted if she had dreams that bad every night.

Since I'd already woken her, I returned to my spot and lay back down.

Not planning to sleep anyway, I cracked my eyes open again to watch her.

...About five minutes passed like that.

"Hnggh... Please, stop..."

Sera started writhing again.

I got up and approached her.

Up close, her condition looked dire.

Cold sweat drenched her body, making her white clothes cling tightly to her skin.

Her curves were fully outlined, even her nipples visible through the fabric—pretty pink ones.

But her agonized expression killed any arousal.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."

She kept apologizing to something in her dream.

Tears welled in her eyes and trickled down her cheeks.

What the hell was happening in that dream?

I wanted to save her from the pain, but it was all in her head—nothing I could do.

Waking her would just restart the cycle. Was there any other way...?

Oh, right—the skill box!

I remembered the skill box I'd gotten yesterday.

I'd been saving it for when I really needed it, but that moment came sooner than expected.

I got it thanks to Sera anyway—no need to hold back.

...What changed? I didn't feel anything. Did I really get a skill?

To check, I opened my skill window.

Death Regression was the one I already had. The new one was 'Hug Pillow'.

F-rank? This was supposed to be the Lucky Skill Box!

Too early to judge by rank alone—let's read the description first.

...What is this?

It did exactly what I wanted, but it was so niche.

To escape her nightmares, I'd have to let her hug me? The activation condition was too awkward.

"Hnggh..."

Even now, Sera was groaning in pain.

No choice but to use the skill I'd gotten. Here goes nothing!

I carefully wrapped my arms around her sweat-soaked body.

A sweet, sticky sweat scent hit me instantly.

Not the point—what about her reaction?

"Hn... Ung... Mm..."

Her groans started to quiet down.

Snore... snore... Soon, even breathing filled the air.

A bit more time passed, and she looked truly peaceful. Good, it was working.

Now that I'd confirmed the effect, time to slip out—

Grab!

As I tried to pull away, Sera's arms wound around me tight.

She yanked me straight into her embrace.

"Guh...!"

Her pull was so strong I couldn't resist—I got sucked right into her bosom.

My face ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠wedged between her breasts, nose pressed to her sternum.

This scent is dangerous...!

Her cleavage was thick with feminine musk.

She'd sweated buckets hauling supplies today, and just now from the nightmare.

Blood rushed straight to my groin.

500 SP? Hard to resist that.

Collect 10,000 SP, and I could buy an item from the shop to turn human again.

500 SP each time—twenty successes, and I'd be human.

...But creampie Sera? Rape her?

No way. The trauma of being raped by a goblin would scar her for life.

I considered grabbing the points and using Death Regression, but rewinding would reset the quest and penalty too—pointless.

Sera was my benefactor. The only one in this world kind to me.

Betraying her? Even if I turned human someday, I couldn't live with the shame.

Goblin body or not, I wouldn't abandon my human pride!

I struggled to escape her embrace.

If lust took over, I might not hold back and assault her—had to get free fast.

But the more I squirmed, the deeper I sank into her hold.

Squeeze...! Her arms crushed my back, and my dick tip slipped between her thighs.

"Kyak..."

Even in this mess, my body reacted honestly, forcing out a rough groan.

I flailed for five full minutes to escape, but in the end...

Pressed full-body against prime female flesh, face buried in her tits inhaling deeply.

With my dick rubbing her plump thighs, my balls boiled over.

Wanna cum, wanna cum, wanna fill Sera up!!

Pre-cum leaked profusely from my dick wedged between her thighs.

"Kieeeek...!"

Seraaa...!! Wanna impregnate you...! Grab those hips and pound away...!!

Wanna slam into her pussy nonstop, why won't she let go...!

If I could move freely, I'd thrust in without a second thought!!

"Mm... Gob..."

Sera mumbled in her sleep and hugged me tighter.

Her thighs clenched, plump flesh squeezing my dick hard.

"Kehk..."

I lolled my tongue, panting as I rubbed against her thighs.

Even that built the urge—the semen surged up my urethra.

Sera! Get pregnant from my thigh pussy! Bear all my kids...!

Splurt... spluuurt...!

I ended up shooting thick white cum all over her thighs.

Thought that was it, but another alert rang out.

Was it gonna keep spawning until I escaped?

At this rate, I'd die of dehydration!

『Sera's Perspective』

Sera's eyes fluttered open to the hut's ceiling.

A quiet, comfortable atmosphere enveloped her.

The peaceful air felt strangely unfamiliar.

'...No nightmare?'

Yeah. No nightmare. How long had it been since a restful morning?

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

As she tried to sit up, she felt weight on her stomach.

Looking down, Gob was draped over her in a hug, limbs limp.

He looked utterly drained, like he was on death's door.

"Gob?"

No response.

A bad premonition flashed through her mind.

'What happened during the night?'

First, assess his condition. She laid him flat on the grass bundle.

Gob lay soaked in sweat, breathing shallowly.

He looked so wretched, like he had a terminal illness.

"Gob, you okay? Gob!"

Calling desperately, Gob slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you conscious? You alright?"

Gob just blinked, like he wasn't registering her voice.

"Gob, can you hear me? Gob!"

After several calls, he finally reacted.

He slowly raised his right hand... and pointed it straight at her.

Squish. He grabbed her breast outright.

"...?"

Sera froze in shock at the unexpected move.

Squish squish. He kneaded her soft breast freely.

"Gob?"

"..."

Gob kept groping without a word.

No trace of intelligence in his glazed eyes.

Only raw lust filled them.

Sera had seen that look before—in monsters addicted to Yin Energy.

'Is Gob addicted to Yin Energy too? No way.'

She'd purified him just yesterday. No leaks for a week at least.

Scanning his body again, one spot caught her eye.

Blood seeped through the bandage on his left arm.

His left arm hung limp while the right worked her breast—a stark contrast.

'Did the left arm wound reopen?'

Sera began unwrapping the bandage.

Even then, Gob's right hand never stopped kneading.

Rustle. Foul pus stench hit as the bandage came off.

Frowning, she inspected the wound closely.

'It's turned blackish-red. Clear infection signs.'

The wolf bite had grown worse than before.

Worse even than right after the attack.

'It was fine yesterday. A curse?'

Entirely plausible.

Cursed folk had fits, hallucinations.

Acting Yin-addicted wouldn't be odd.

Was that wolf a black mage's or witch's pet?

If so, they'd picked the wrong one to mess with.

'All because he tried to protect me...'

Had Gob not stepped up for her, this wouldn't have happened.

With responsibility on her shoulders, she couldn't just leave him.

'First, deal with that lust.'

Sera steeled herself and looked at Gob.
