...Press My Belly
…What do I do?
“Ren?”
“Looks like you’ve completely lost it.”
“Wings must be hurting pretty bad.”
“Nearly dying in the dumbest way possible might have something to do with it too.”
Laying the egg itself wouldn’t be a problem if I could just slip off alone under the excuse of needing to relieve myself.
“Looks like the wings really are in bad shape.”
“I bandaged them carefully, though.”
With both arms in this condition…
If, by any chance, the egg got stuck inside like last time, there’d be nothing I could do.
“Ow.”
“What are you doing?”
“Moving them only makes it worse.”
I tried shifting the tightly bandaged wings to press down on my belly, but instead of any pressure reaching my stomach, the effort only amplified the pain in my wings.
…What do I do? Seriously?
“You guys don’t happen to have a potion, do you?”
“Even if we did, potions don’t work on fractures.”
Ah.
“Just rest properly. Who knows? Maybe something that breaks so easily heals just as fast.”
Listening to Lucy’s voice—impossible to tell whether it was sarcasm or comfort—I seriously considered it.
…Should I use it? The Elixir.
“Lucy.”
“Yes?”
“There’s a little medicine bottle in my pack, right? Could you grab that for me…?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Right now your pack only has spare clothes.”
“…Ah.”
Only after asking Lucy to fetch the Elixir did I remember—my share of the Elixir was with the captain.
“You’ve been acting weird for a while. Is something else hurting besides your wings?”
Huey, who’d been glancing around, stopped and looked at me with open suspicion after my continued foolishness.
“Aha.”
And then Lucy suddenly let out a little gasp as she stared at me.
“Master. A moment over here, please…”
“What’s up?”
I watched Lucy drag Huey off into a corner and start whispering for a moment, then sighed at the sight of my two wings still tightly wrapped in bandages no matter how many times I looked.
“I’m going crazy. Seriously.”
In the end, the only things I could do right now were pray that the egg came out without getting stuck, or that my wings healed before I had to lay it.
“…Ahem.”
“Well then, let’s take a look around first.”
Huey approached with a slightly flushed face and a forced cough, while Lucy followed with that unpleasant little smile of hers.
“…Yeah. We still don’t even know if this place is safe.”
Personally, I needed as many safe zones as I could get right now, so I stood up and began a proper survey of the surroundings.
“A passage made of steel.”
“Looking at that blue tint, it’s probably not ordinary steel.”
“That giant sandworm earlier. It could have attacked this place easily enough if it wanted to. But it didn’t.”
Listening to Huey and Lucy’s observations, I decided to voice the thought that had been slowly forming ever since we first set foot in this canyon.
“This place… feels different from other demonic realms.”
Huey and Lucy stopped exploring and focused on me.
It wasn’t something that required stopping, so I kept walking down the passage as I spoke.
“I think this might be an artificially created place.”
I hadn’t noticed at first.
But the farther we went, the more the thought took hold.
“It’s way too considerate to be a demonic realm.”
Floating islands set like stepping stones over an endless cliff.
And the different anomalous phenomena assigned to each island.
“On top of that, this passage that anyone can tell was deliberately made.”
Of course, the slightest misstep would still get most people killed, but personally I thought the structure was considerate enough.
And so the three of us stood at the end of the passage, looking out at the vista beyond, and spoke.
“Right?”
“Yeah. Definitely.”
“It would be a stretch to claim this structure formed naturally.”
What lay beyond the end of the passage was…
“Those otherworldly objects they said were discovered… they probably came from here.”
“Everything’s completely new to me.”
A spiral corridor filled with things I had never seen in my life, stretching into bottomless darkness.
Lines reminiscent of magic circles were intricately carved into the walls, and blue mana flowed downward along the engraved grooves.
“Huh. The genre completely changes here… what is this, sci-fi?”
Milky-white oval objects drifting through the air, patrolling the corridor like sentries.
And something like a massive pillar standing in the center of the corridor.
“…Doesn’t seem related to my hometown, at least.”
Huey muttered, looking somehow deflated as he took it all in.
“So we came all this way just to turn back empty-handed?”
“Leaving without any gains feels a bit off, doesn’t it?”
Lucy and I voiced our dissatisfaction toward the suddenly demotivated Huey.
“Ugh… fine. Let’s go. We’ll go.”
Apparently our steady stares were too much; he turned his head and raised both hands in surrender.
Should’ve done that from the start.
“But not today—tomorrow.”
I’d nearly died a little while ago, and the day had already grown dark.
We’d rest properly and move once morning came.
“Shall we start a fire first?”
“Let’s.”
“You two handle it today. With my wings like this, I can’t light anything.”
We returned to the passage we’d just left and began preparing camp.
“Good thing I packed a few wooden boards just in case.”
“Yeah. Without these we’d be freezing.”
Sitting around the small campfire, we finished a light meal of jerky and bread.
“Nngh.”
I could only stare blankly at the fire, caught between the sensation that had been building in my belly for a while now.
“If it’s hard, why not sleep early?”
“Master and I will take watch tonight, so rest easy.”
They must have mistaken my restless fidgeting for wing pain.
Looking at the two of them watching me with worried eyes, I said,
“Then I’ll sleep first.”
I lay down on the blanket Lucy had prepared and tried to sleep.
It was supposed to be once every half-month, so it was probably just my imagination.
“Sleep well.”
“Rest thoroughly.”
…For the record.
I would realize at dawn the very next day that the “half-month” Caroline had mentioned was only an average.
“She’s asleep.”
“She’s asleep.”
In the softly glowing blue steel passage, with the campfire burning, Huey and Luciella watched Ren sleeping fitfully, cold sweat on her brow.
“Well, looking at her condition she’ll probably wake soon, so I’ll sleep first.”
Then Luciella smiled wickedly and spoke to Huey.
“…Were you serious about that earlier?”
“Would I joke about something like that?”
At Lucy’s words, Huey recalled what she had whispered after dragging him into the corner earlier.
—It’s already almost half a month since Ren laid an egg last time. Hasn’t it been a little strange the way she keeps trying to touch her belly?
Just as Caroline had once explained.
Wiggling her fingers meaningfully,
—I told you before, but I won’t help.
Unless Ren herself specifically asked for help, Luciella had no intention of assisting.
Huey was about to try persuading her again when—
“Come on, Lucy, even so…”
“La-la-la, I can’t hear you.”
Luciella plugged her ears and played dumb.
“Honestly, look at that. Even if you offer help she refuses. Master, are you even a man?”
“Hey. The way you’re suggesting I help is way too extreme.”
“It’s Ren’s fault for insisting she’s a man with a body like that.”
There were only two paths Huey could choose, she said.
“Either keep traveling and find a way to turn Ren back into a man, or make Ren accept that she’s a woman.”
Either cleanly set his feelings aside and help her purely as a companion and friend,
or push forward decisively.
“A half-hearted attitude will definitely end up hurting someone later.”
So steel your resolve so you won’t regret it, Luciella said, staring at Huey with firm eyes.
“Well, it’s obvious which one Master will pick.”
“Ugh.”
Even now Huey still couldn’t fully grasp that Ren had once been a man, so he could only groan without managing a proper reply.
“Then I’ll plug my ears and sleep, so don’t mind me and enjoy yourselves.”
With a mischievous face she whispered a little “fighting!” toward Huey, then put in the earplugs she’d prepared in advance and closed her eyes.
“…I’m going crazy. Seriously.”
Watching her, Huey finally clutched his forehead and heaved a deep sigh.
For some reason my eyes snapped open.
It had been an exhausting day in every way, so I’d closed my eyes intending to sleep deeply…
“You’re up already. You can sleep more.”
Huey’s voice reached me the moment I sat up.
“How long has it been?”
“Not even a few hours since you fell asleep. I was going to take first watch tonight anyway.”
I watched him yawn and toss a wooden board into the fire for a moment, then stood, still hugging the blanket with my throbbing arms.
“Going to relieve yourself?”
“…Going to lay an egg.”
“Pfft! Cough!”
My face twisted at the writhing sensation in my belly that had started the instant I opened my eyes. I walked past Huey, who was choking on the water he’d just spit out, and headed toward the outer side of the passage.
“Sorry, but try to cover your ears and ignore it if you can.”
He clearly hadn’t expected me to say something like that so bluntly. Huey stared at me with a blank expression as I spoke one last time.
“It’s not something I can hide forever anyway. Just know that.”
Half a month sounded long, but it was surprisingly short. I’d already figured that sooner or later someone would catch me in an undignified state, and somehow that made me feel lighter.
Yeah. Better to come clean now, while I still had the excuse that I couldn’t go far.
And so, damn it all—
the time for my second spawning arrived.
“Hah… hnn…”
Enduring the pain that had been steadily growing, I reached the end of the passage.
Unlike the interior, the entrance spread wide to the sides. I carefully checked it.
Fortunately I soon found a suitable spot where Huey wouldn’t be able to see me.
I set down the blanket I’d been holding, then—
“Kh.”
—roughly tore off the bandages binding my wings with my teeth.
They still hurt, but at this rate I truly couldn’t do anything.
“…Damn. How long has it been since I broke an arm?”
Technically it was a wing, but still.
Somehow managing to move the throbbing wings, I stripped off my lower clothes and underwear and set them beside the blanket.
“Hoo.”
I roughly spread the blanket, sat down, and leaned my back against the wall.
Trying to ignore the sticky wetness already starting between my legs, I carefully tensed my belly.
Last time it had started while I was half-asleep, so I hadn’t been able to prepare properly.
“Hyaah!?”
Immediately, from the belly visibly swollen with eggs, a wave of pleasure crashed over me along with a mild pain.
“Kya, uk…!”
Even though this was only my second spawning,
my body had already grown familiar with it. I could clearly feel a single egg slowly forcing open the entrance to my womb.
“Haaa…♡”
I exhaled deeply and pushed with my belly as if to force the egg caught at the entrance out—
—but instead of the egg,
only sticky white fluid trickled down between my thighs.
“What… hyaang!?”
From the very start the egg began a tug-of-war, almost coming out yet not quite.
“Come out… hauk… come on out…”
Squelch. Squueelch.
Perhaps because this was the silent interior of a canyon where not even the usual insect sounds could be heard, the vulgar noise of my womb’s entrance repeatedly opening and closing seemed to echo especially loud.
“Hup.”
What if Huey, still in that passage, heard this sound?
What if Lucy woke up, heard it, and came to look?
At that thought I hurriedly lifted one wing to cover my mouth—
“Ka, hyuk!”
—which turned out to be a massive miscalculation.
Having completely forgotten my wings were broken, I moved them too hastily. The sharp spike of pain drew a moan from me for a moment, and then—
“Kyaang!?”
Psssh!
Before I had even laid the first egg, I shamefully climaxed lightly, squirting.
“Haah… c-crazy…”
Panting through the aftershocks, I decided to pause for a moment at this incomprehensible situation.
“W-what just… hyaah!?”
It wasn’t only the sensations inside my womb and passage.
I realized that even the pain from my broken wings was being converted into pleasure by this body.
“There’s a limit to how lewd you can… kh.”
Carefully resting both wings on my belly, I gasped under the stifling feeling.
“Haa… hnn…”
Damn it, at this rate there’ll be no end…
No matter how hard I tried, the egg remained caught at the entrance of my womb, refusing to come out.
After thrashing and climaxing three more times, I finally decided this was impossible and stood up.
I hated showing this pathetic state to anyone, but rather than let both of them see…
At the same time.
“Banish worldly desires… banish worldly desires…”
Huey sat in a meditative pose, chanting mantras in an attempt to calm the heated imagination stirred by the sounds coming from the direction of the passage entrance Ren had gone toward.
“Ren is a companion… Ren is a companion…”
For a long while he kept his eyes closed, listening to the sounds behind him, until he realized the moans leaking from Ren’s direction had stopped.
Hoo, looks like it’s over.
Praising himself for having endured without losing his reason while listening to the moans of someone he liked, he released the meditative posture.
Drip.
…Water?
Completely unaware that a trial incomparable to anything so far was slowly approaching him,
Drip.
Huey tilted his head at the sound of water droplets striking the cold steel passage. Then, sensing a presence approaching from behind, he forced a calm voice.
“Ahem. You’re back?”
But the presence gave no answer to his question. Huey had only a moment to feel puzzled before—
“Huey…”
Drip.
—Ren’s plaintive voice calling his name, and the water-droplet sound now much closer, made him realize something was seriously wrong.
“H-help me…”
Swallowing hard at Ren’s plea for help, Huey turned around.
“Hup.”
“I’m really sorry… the egg won’t come out…”
Gone was the usual playful, confident demeanor.
Clutching her belly with both wings, face flushed, Ren staggered toward him and begged.
“I-I’ll wake Lucy right now…”
Forcing his gaze away from the white fluid running down Ren’s thighs, Huey started toward Luciella—
“N-no…!”
—but Ren, looking as if that was the one thing she absolutely could not allow, staggered forward and desperately stopped him.
“I don’t want Lucy knowing too…”
“…Ah.”
Looking at Ren’s face, flushed past red into pale white from shame beyond her limit, Huey understood.
What kind of feelings had brought Ren to him right now.
How Ren must feel, having not only had her body changed but now having to show someone else this state.
How much agonizing it must have taken for someone once strong enough to be called a Transcendent to ask him for help.
“Hoo.”
Having calmed every worldly desire and impure thought that had risen in his heart, Huey forced a gentle smile and spoke as if to reassure her.
“Okay. I’ll help.”
At that answer Ren let out a huge sigh of relief.
“…Thank you.”
She seemed to have calmed a little as well.
Together they headed back to the entrance of the passage where she had been moments before.
“Um, Ren?”
Following her guidance, Huey sat with his back against the wall, blanket in hand—
—and then watched, flustered, as Ren settled into his arms.
“Hnn, what?”
“This position…?”
“……”
Instead of answering, Ren simply flushed and fell silent.
At least she’d brought the blanket and bunched it in front of her crotch—that was fortunate, Huey thought as he looked down at Ren resting the back of her head against his chest.
“…Belly. Press it.”
Looking at Ren nestled in his arms like a lover,
Huey felt the worldly desires and impure thoughts he had so carefully suppressed begin to crawl back up.
“…I figure once you start pressing, I won’t be able to think straight for a while.”
“Will you be okay?”
“Sorry. I can’t say I’ll be okay. Just do it.”
With that, Ren completely closed her mouth.
“Th-then… I’m doing it…?”
At the faint nod, Huey swallowed hard and carefully brought both hands to Ren’s lower belly.
Twitch.
“H-nn.”
Huey marveled at how soft the skin felt even through the clothes.
Immediately after, his eyes widened at the sensation under his fingertips.
“Hnn, hnn…”
And while Huey felt the eggs filling Ren’s lower belly,
Ren, as if sensing what was about to happen, gave one large full-body shudder.
“…Gulp.”
Huey swallowed again and carefully applied pressure with both hands wrapped around Ren’s lower belly.
“Biiit—!?”
Completely different from when she had pressed with her own wings earlier—
the thick fingers delicately pushing the egg downward drew a scream from Ren.
“Hiyaang!?”
Ts… bwoosh!
Immediately after, the egg slid out of Ren’s womb entrance in one smooth motion.
Huey continued pressing Ren’s lower belly as if gently guiding the egg that had left the womb further down.
“Hyaa… haah…!”
Squueelch…
The first egg rode down the passage with sticky sounds and settled onto the blanket.
Ren panted with half-lidded eyes, while Huey was thoroughly flustered by the sweet scent rising from her entire body.
“N-next one right away.”
Still flustered, Huey failed to notice that Ren had already climaxed several times in rapid succession from the previous laying, and pressed her belly again.
Squeeze.
“Bit!? Bii…”
As a result, Ren was exposed to pleasure while still defenseless, unable to even recover from the aftershocks of climax.
The result appeared in the form of—
Psssh!
“Uwah!?”
Trickle…
—a spray of fluid bursting right in front of Huey’s eyes, followed by a yellow stream.
“Gulp.”
Suppressing his hardened lower body against the even stronger sweet fragrance, Huey spoke with the thought that he somehow had to end this situation quickly.
“…Sorry. I’m really sorry, but… I don’t think I can hold out like this either…!”
“H-ah…?”
Completely beyond her own will, and far past her capacity for climax, Ren drooled from the corner of her mouth and could only make a questioning sound, unable to understand the voice reaching her—
Squeeze!
“Ka, hauk!?”
Pop!
—before she felt the egg force open her womb entrance and slip out, lifting her hips and convulsing.
“Re-Ren?”
“Hak… haah! Hn… hyuk…”
Seeing that, Huey stopped his hands for a moment, thinking this was truly dangerous if he continued.
“……”
A short while later.
Looking at the black cloth draped over the crotch of the now-unconscious, limp Ren, Huey swallowed hard once more.
“…Gulp.”
It hung so precariously on the edge that the slightest movement would reveal her private parts.
Shaking his head against the dense impure thoughts trying to invade his mind, Huey took a deep breath and gently stroked Ren’s lower belly.
“—Nn~~!”
“Uwah! Sorry!”
He apologized without thinking at the sight of Ren climaxing again from that, then focused on extracting the remaining eggs.
“Slowly… as gently as possible…”
Muttering that, he carefully felt around Ren’s lower belly with trembling hands and pushed out the last remaining egg.
“Hyuk, hnn…”
“Just a little more.”
Carefully making sure the still-trembling Ren wouldn’t topple even while unconscious, Huey gently pushed the final egg free.
Squelch. Squue… elch.
The moment the egg that had been caught several times at the womb entrance finally slipped out—
“Ha, nn…♡”
Psssh!
—Ren let out a sweet moan and squirted as if pouring out every drop of moisture in her body.
“…I-it’s over, right?”
“Hnn… hnn…”
Afterward, carefully stroking Ren’s belly to check for any remaining eggs, Huey paused for a moment at the firm yet soft feel of her lower abdomen. Confirming there were none left, he stood.
“Ahem.”
After tidying the surroundings, he laid Ren down by the campfire, covered her with the blanket, then sat beside her, heaved a deep sigh, and quietly muttered,
“…The stimulation’s way too strong.”
He had no idea.
What kinds of things he would go through from now on because of today’s events.
