The Wolf's Time
Even after getting Liris on a whim, my life in this beach village didn’t change much at all.
Oddly enough, the villagers here swallowed the ridiculous story that Liris was my relative without a second thought.
“Honestly, she has horns and she’s way too tall and pale to be my cousin.”
But Liris only shrugged as if nothing bothered her.
“I’m not a fool, you know. I can do simple transformations like this. So to them, I look like your relative.”
“Brown skin?”
“Um… maybe.”
Saying that with a sweet smile, Liris casually crossed her arms, pressing her soft breasts right against my forearm. She looked far too intimate for a mere cousin.
We could stay at the inn for free for a week in this beach village. During that time we could have fun and then head to the next town, Mer suggested.
Honestly, even though it’s a small village, the nearby beach was decent enough for relaxing.
And with the hot summer weather, the two monster girls were walking beside me in thin summer dresses, arms linked.
Honestly, it felt way too tempting to just drop them on the spot.
“Hng… but it’s so hot. What if the dress falls off?”
“Oh my, of course it can’t. How could I let my husband fall like that?”
“You’re only my second concubine, so don’t get too wild.”
Liris glared at me with a low growl, but she just let it slide like nothing happened.
This harem thing is real, but there was something off about it. Should I be saying they’d both gang up on me if I didn’t have my dick?
Well… a single lightning bolt would turn both of them into ash, but I wasn’t going to boil them just yet.
Honestly, my own hands weren’t bad either. I liked being the one taken, but I didn’t hate women.
With Liris on one side and Mer on the other, we wandered around the village. We were planning to leave soon, but we still hadn’t stepped outside the inn.
Besides that, um… fucking Mer and fucking Arines…
We only ever fucked.
Damn it.
Honestly, there wasn’t much to do here. No computer, no decent books to read, so we had to kill time by fucking.
Honestly, fucking like rabbits to pass the time was a bit weird even in a fantasy world, and this was a hentai game world anyway.
“Lord Esther? What are you thinking?”
“Ah, um… nothing. Just…”
“You were staring at that, weren’t you?”
“That?”
My gaze and Mer’s met at the same time and turned toward the bulletin board on the wall.
Just a simple schedule was written on the paper.
In short, it was a notice saying that the village’s main festival was coming and would be held three days from now.
“A festival? Um…”
“It’s not that bad. Even a shameless succubus like you wouldn’t ignore it.”
“You really wanna die?”
Liris suddenly growled, so I had to step in.
“Liris! One more time and I won’t let you have my dick tonight!”
“Kuhit…! Damn it, both of them…!”
After warning her like that, she drooped her head in obvious disappointment.
Honestly, I still didn’t get why other people’s dicks were so great, but Liris had already become a total slut for mine.
Even though she trembled, she secretly looked down at my crotch and licked her lips. Honestly, she looked a bit lewd and creepy at the same time.
“Truly. You even got so addicted to Lord Esther’s dick… that’s truly pitiful.”
As she said that, Mer secretly started stroking Liris’s hair.
“Hng… I wonder why her hand feels so good…”
Even while she was being stroked, it didn’t seem bad at all.
We walked around the village with our arms around each other’s waists when something strange caught my eye.
The villagers had strung up strings with triangular papers all over the place and were building stages for the festival, but the symbol on them looked a bit weird.
The pattern drawn on the stage was neither a fish nor a herring—it was a wolf.
“Um…? A wolf?”
It was a strange symbol. A beach village should naturally worship the sea and fish, but here they were suddenly worshipping a wolf.
Someone said that everyone in the village was wearing wolf pelts on their heads. It was a strange sight for a beach village.
“Hey, do you really worship wolves in this kind of place?”
“Could be.”
Even while saying that, Mer tilted her head like she didn’t understand. In the meantime, Liris proudly puffed out her chest and started bragging.
“You don’t know? The people here are terrified of the Wolf God! So we worship the wolf, offering fish and men to it. That way the Wolf God won’t harm us, right?”
“I see. You know a lot.”
“I’ve been here for several months! Damn, but we were so hungry that we attacked a few people and caused a big commotion…”
“Eventually you got caught by us.”
“That’s right. But… honestly, it wasn’t bad at all.”
Liris gave a faint smile and stroked my crotch with her eyes. Eek… her gaze was too lewd! I was going to get hard any second!
“Stop it. You weren’t planning to bite Lord Esther’s dick right here in front of everyone, were you?”
“Can’t I?”
“Then… um… maybe it’s okay.”
Hey, hold it! I wanted to say that, but if no one had come up to me, I probably would have been taken right there.
While Liris and I walked around the village together, someone approached me.
“Hey, you two over there… are you relatives of this child?”
Huh? You actually believe that? No matter how you look at it, it’s a monster. She’s wearing a hat over rabbit ears, but there’s no way a woman would walk around in just a white dress without underwear, right?
While thinking that, I was about to say something, but Mer spoke first.
“Yes. This child is my cousin.”
“Um… I see.”
“You’re not lying?”
“She looks like a mother, doesn’t she?”
This is how you get called old and called an idiot?
Liris’s expression immediately froze. She looked like she wanted to slap the bearded old man right in front of her.
“Hey, Mom, wait just a second!”
“Mom? You really…!”
Trying to hold back the urge to slap him, Liris let out a sigh. At the same time, the old man held out his hand to her.
“If that’s the case, it’s fine! Mother, can we use this child as a sacrifice for our village?”
“Eh?”
“What?”
Both their expressions turned cold at the same time. Mer now held a staff tightly in her hand like she was about to kill the man right there.
Liris’s wings spread wide behind her back, radiating killing intent strong enough to scare almost anyone.
But the old man didn’t feel any killing intent at all thanks to magic and kept speaking his piece.
“No, it’s not that scary to be a sacrifice. Just sit on the altar for about an hour wearing clothes. Actually, someone was supposed to sit there, but she suddenly got really sick and we had to bring another child.”
“Just sit there?”
“Yes, that’s enough. You weren’t thinking of tearing the flesh or anything like that, were you?”
The atmosphere suddenly changed strangely. It seemed like we had hit the nail on the head.
“Hmm… anyway, it can’t be that simple. First, I need to ask my brother…”
“I don’t care.”
“If you just accept it, what then…”
Honestly, I wanted to do something like this once. It was a sacrifice for the village’s local festival. I only saw it in movies!
And the clothes were pretty lewd, right? Or did they grind rice like in Japan and make alcohol?
While I was imagining all kinds of things, the old man’s words were surprisingly disappointing.
“It’s fortunate. We’ll pay 300 gold as a reward. It’s nothing special—just sit in the place we’re guiding you to wearing the clothes we give you.”
Just sit there. No singing or dancing, just sit.
It was a bit disappointing.
“300 gold isn’t bad. What do you think?”
Well… 300 gold was enough to stay at the inn for at least ten days, so it wasn’t bad.
“Accept it.”
“But is it okay? It still feels a bit uneasy…”
Mer sighed again like she was disappointed about something. Realizing the situation was strange, the old man took my hand and started pleading desperately.
“H-hey, please just this once! Actually, this is a festival held once every five years, and the child was seriously ill. But we couldn’t have the sick child sit there, so…”
It was so earnest that I couldn’t refuse.
Well… if he said it like that, I could accept. Honestly, leaving a sick child outside in the sea breeze for an hour probably wasn’t a good idea either.
“Just once… it’s fine, right?”
Mer and Liris looked at each other and nodded.
“If he’s saying it like that, we can’t refuse.”
“Well, 300 gold is a bit expensive for an hour, but…”
“Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!”
The old man grabbed my hand and shook it vigorously. He seemed very desperate.
After repeating thanks several times, he finally bowed all the way to his waist and handed me a paper.
It was to come to the village hall tomorrow morning when the festival starts in three days.
“The village hall? What kind of clothes were they going to make me wear…”
“Um… just come and see. It’s not that special.”
The old man said that while scratching the back of his head like he was reluctant to say more.
No, what was it that they had to do this for? If it was just to put on clothes, why not later? Or maybe it was actually embarrassing?
For example, a bikini or a bunny girl suit?
Um… thinking about it now, it was terrifying. I should stop imagining.
The old man gave me only one paper and left.
The village was still bustling, but Liris’s expression looked a bit flushed…
Maybe it was just my imagination.
