The Elf Who Dreams of Mating with Orcs Is Frustrated Tomorrow Too (2)
"Hold on a second, Orca. Wait. Okay?"
"Cali... Siwoo... do you hate me?"
"...It's not like that."
The second I said anything, she wilted with disappointment, and now I felt terrible. Of course, I was scared she was about to devour me right then and there. I'd only meant to stop her—I never intended to put that look on her face.
And honestly, I'd just been flustered. If I had to be honest, I liked Orca. Back when I didn't know her well, I'd thought she was some crazy stalker fan and disliked her for it. But the misunderstandings had been cleared up, and I'd come to know her charms in all sorts of ways. Honestly, both her looks and her personality were right in my strike zone.
"Ah, right. Siwoo said that once I grew stronger, it would be okay for me to become the one who protects him. That... that counts as something Cali said too, right? Was that also sincere?"
"Uh...?"
If I said it wasn't sincere here, that would make me a liar, and my head was spinning. From the moment I'd said those words, I'd figured I'd have to tell her the truth someday. But this was way sooner than I'd expected.
"Yeah. That hasn't changed. If a hardworking, stronger Orca protects me, I'd feel secure."
"...So I'm still not good enough, and I have to wait longer."
"Th-that's not it."
"Then what?"
Maybe I should've just gone with that. But honestly, I didn't think someone of Orca's caliber was lacking in any way. She trained hard and even took the top spot in the grade on the last exam. Honestly, I thought she was more than enough to protect me.
"I'm the one who's worried. Is it really okay for someone like me to become the goal of your entire life?"
"Of course it is. Cali... Siwoo... you're the one who made me realize the only thing I've ever wanted in my life."
Her heart-shaped pupils shone with a pure, upright light that caught my eye. It was a complete contrast to the way she'd been about to devour me in a sudden frenzy just moments ago. It felt like looking into the eyes of a true knight, and the sensation was strange. Just what had I done to deserve this kind of treatment...?
"Orca, now that you know everything, I'll tell you. I never had some grand goal of saving the orcs with that work."
"...Huh?"
"I just told the story I wanted to tell. Of course, I think it's a good thing that orcs are getting a proper evaluation and half-orcs aren't being ostracized anymore. Personally, I'm proud of that too."
But like you said, I didn't deliberately do it for anyone's sake. I'm not the great person you think I am. I explained that I was just an artist who liked drawing comics.
"That's part of why I hid the truth from everyone. I'm not that amazing of a person, but everyone thought I was."
"...Then drawing a story just like my parents'...?"
"It was a coincidence. I was shocked when I heard your story too. That's why I reacted that way."
"A coincidence...."
Orca closed her eyes for a moment to think, then quickly lifted her body off of me. Just as I was about to breathe a sigh of relief thinking everything was resolved, she suddenly started stripping off the clothes clinging to her body.
"O-Orca!?"
The crop top stretched tight across her chest was pulled upward, making her breasts bounce vigorously. As the crop top gradually spat out her breasts, her tits—still squished into the shape of the T-shirt—began to reveal themselves bit by bit. The peeling fabric caught on her nipples, stimulating them hard as it came free, and a moan like a sigh of ecstasy spilled from her lips.
"Haah♡ Hoo.... Hey, Cali."
"Y-you. Why are you suddenly taking off your clothes!"
"My mom told me. Meeting Dad was a coincidence, but Dad protecting Mom was real, and Mom loving Dad was real too."
"What?"
"She said she didn't want to make all of that meaningless just because it was a coincidence."
And so, she decided to call it "fate" from then on. That wasn't just about the story Orca's mother had told. Orca was saying that the way I'd ended up protecting her without meaning to, and the way she was throwing herself at me now, saying she liked me and wanted to protect me—she wanted to call all of it fate.
"And even if Cali didn't intend for it, it doesn't change much."
"Huh?"
"You think you didn't really intend the other things either, right?"
"Yeah."
She was probably talking about the other works that had had a big impact, excluding The Elf Who Dreams of Mating with Orcs Is Frustrated Today Too. Naturally, most of those things had happened without me even thinking about them. I was just glad that most of them had turned out well in the end....
"Even if Cali didn't intend it. The pictures Cali drew, the comics, are changing this world for the better. That's a fact."
"...Is that how it works?"
"Yeah. In that case, the 'Siwoo' I want to protect is still the same. So no matter what thoughts Cali had when drawing those comics, I want to dedicate my life to Cali."
She declared it boldly, saying that was her dream. No, but that was only her duty as a knight protecting me. So why was she suddenly stripping? I had no idea.
"Right? So put your clothes back on.... Okay? I really will be with Orca for a long time, and I'll rely on Orca's sword too."
"Thank you. But I've had a bit of a change of heart now too."
"What?"
This time she pulled her bloomers all the way down and kicked them off. I whipped my gaze away in shock, but I could see the bloomers she'd thrown this way slap wetly against the floor. They were soaked with love juices, looking incredibly lewd. Had she gotten that wet just from talking with me? She hadn't even been masturbating, so that meant she'd gotten wet purely from the erotic mood....
"Like I said earlier, I think I've been in love with Cali."
"......."
"When I look at the other guys in the swordsmanship department, I don't feel this way. Whether it's because you seriously worry about me, or because you're the only connection to Siwoo... I don't know the reason. I don't even know if I need a reason."
I like you. And if the person I'd decided to protect was actually Cali, then I didn't have to give up everything and just protect him from the side. I could also find my identity as a female who stays by Cali's side. Did I not have the right to that?
"Of course you do. I was just thinking it might be too hasty."
"It's not hasty. I've thought about it over and over. I just never said it out loud! I've thought about it so many times...."
"Orca...."
"If anything, it's been building up for way too long. The inside of this pussy has been throbbing every time I look at Cali, and I couldn't take it anymore...!"
Don't say such perverted shit with such a serious expression! Because of that, my dick kept reacting in this serious situation, and I felt bad about it. For some reason, I started feeling sorry for how much Orca's father must have suffered. Just what kind of life had that man lived?
"Cali...."
"Hyaah!?"
Completely naked, Orca wrapped her arms around me from behind. The voluptuous fullness of her milk dispensers pressed against my back, transferring their hot warmth. And her breath, laced with lewd moans, tickled my ear as she held me. I really thought I was going to go crazy.
"Do you hate me? You had sex with Rosaria here just a little while ago, right? The smell of cum is everywhere. Can't you love me like that too? Thinking of it as the price for me dedicating my whole life, can't you share even a little of that love with me?"
"...It's not that I hate you. I like Orca too. And this is a bit hard to say, but you can tell just by looking at how hard I am down here."
At first I'd planned to calm Orca down and sort out the situation. But the more we talked, the less confident I became that I could persuade her. If anything, rejecting Orca here was starting to weigh more heavily on my conscience.
"Your cock got big...."
"Ugh!?"
As she said that, Orca brought her hand to my dick and started stroking her fingers over my clothes with incredibly lewd movements. It was probably a technique she'd learned from her elf mother, and it felt so good I wanted to demand just what the hell that woman had shown her kid.
"W-wait a second. Orca?"
"She said this is a sign that you want to have sex...."
"W-wait!"
I'd thought I'd managed to calm her down a bit. But before I knew it, Orca had gone wild again and started restraining me. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
"Right, I like Cali. And Cali likes me. So it's okay to have sex, right? Let's have sex and feel really good?"
"No, no!"
And yet, why did the way she was touching my dick feel so good? My cock, which should have been drained after creampieing Rosaria earlier, was already swelling up angrily, ready to spit out more cum. I was struggling because it felt like my brain was about to be dominated by my dick.
"Orca, are you really okay with this? If you're going to stand by my side as a knight, that's a job, and I'll pay you a proper salary while we work together...."
"This has nothing to do with protecting Cali. I just want to share love with Cali."
"I know, so this is something different. I've already touched Rosaria and even Yuria. Can you handle being just one among many for a guy who has that many women?"
"Ah, so Yuria and Rosaria will live with us too?"
"What?"
"Isn't that how it is?"
"Well, yeah, it is, but...."
"Then I like it even more!"
Shit, I'd forgotten that this girl's thought process was different from normal people's. It wasn't even like Yuria's "I don't care"—I never imagined she'd hit me with "I like it even more."
In the end, I couldn't refute any of Orca's logic and was forcibly stripped by her. And after that....
"Cali's cock♡"
Her drooling, sloppy mouth swallowed my cock—already rock-hard from her caresses—in one go.
