At the Beach of the Port City
At the Beach of the Port City
Two days after our skirmish with the fishmen, we finally arrived at the port city.
The port city of Lotus.
On the Western Continent, you saw more elves here than anywhere else.
That's because the port of Lotus was closest to the Albheim Archipelago, the homeland of the elves.
Elves in this world mostly lived on the islands of the archipelago, but they would occasionally venture out to the mainland to travel. The first place they'd land was this very city of Lotus.
The moment our carriage passed through the city gates and rolled into the city, we saw elves with pointed ears everywhere.
"Luke! Look, those must be elves! They're so pretty!"
"Did you even know what elves were?"
Even Rebecca, who had only a vague notion of other races, seemed to have heard about elves. Her eyes sparkled as she watched the tall, pointy-eared elves walking through the streets.
"Yeah! I heard about them from the innkeeper lady where I used to live. She said they're the prettiest race on the continent. In the elves' country, the gorgeous ones plow the fields and lead the oxen!"
The Albheim Archipelago, the world of elves.
It was a place said to be as full of beauties as Ukraine on Earth. Rumor had it that any man who set foot there would have his standards raised so high that he could never be satisfied with women on the mainland. I'd thought it was an exaggeration, but it actually seemed plausible.
The elves walking through the streets of the port city were all ridiculously good-looking.
But after watching the elves for a while, Rebecca's face flushed, as if something was bothering her.
"...But why are they all walking around half-naked like that?"
"Huh?"
"All they're wearing is a scrap of cloth. You can see all the places that shouldn't be seen...."
"That's because they're elves who worship nature."
I, too, stuck my head out the window with Rebecca and admired the elves' bodies.
The elves wandering the streets all shared one shameless trait: they covered themselves with thin clothes made of leaves. It was a goddamn lewd outfit woven from vines and leaves.
'Ooh. MILF, MILF.'
I observed the most sensuous and alluring elf among them.
She was an elf woman with the ripest figure, like a human woman in her early thirties, and her breasts and ass jiggled with every step. That hot mature body was barely covered by a single leaf.
Watching her was bound to bring some luck.
Fwooosh━!
Just then, a gust of wind blew through the street, making the leaves flutter.
From beneath the leaf, the areola subtly revealed itself. Then the wind blew harder, flipping the leaf over, and her firm breasts and nipples were bared in all their naked glory.
"Whoooooa!"
"MILF elves are the best!"
The men of other races on the street roared with cheers.
But the elf woman who had bared her breasts in the middle of the street merely murmured, 'Oh my,' and continued on her way. At a glance, she might seem like a total slut, but to elves, it was nothing out of the ordinary.
Because their bodies were akin to a blessing bestowed by nature.
It was a commendable attitude, never being ashamed of revealing one's naked body.
Gulp!
After that stroke of luck, I couldn't stop watching the elf woman.
As it happened, the slow-moving carriage and the MILF elf were heading in the same direction.
Maybe if I kept watching, even greater luck might come my way.
Like the leaf covering her crotch flipping up.
"Luke...."
Thump!
But I could no longer ogle the elf.
Because Rebecca reached out from behind and gently covered my eyes.
"Get back inside the carriage and lower your head, nice and quiet."
"......Hic."
"If you don't lower your head right now, I'll bite your ear off!"
"Ah, understood. At your service, Lady Rebecca!"
I quickly pulled my head back inside the window and obediently lowered it.
It was a relief that Kate was asleep in the back seat. If she had joined in, I might have had to plant my head against the carriage floor. Still, how could anyone resist with elf tits jiggling right in front of them?
"Excuse me."
"Hm?"
Just then, the elf walking beside the carriage spoke to us.
No, to be precise, she spoke not to us, but to Rebecca, who was glaring at the elf through gritted teeth.
"Hey there, cute red-haired miss. Why do you keep staring at me? Heh heh."
"Can't I look?"
"I'm just curious about the reason~. Did you maybe lose your mind over my beautiful figure? It's all a gift from nature."
She could flaunt her own beauty that shamelessly.
As expected of the race of beauty, her confidence was overflowing.
But Rebecca didn't back down even in front of an elf.
"My figure's prettier, you know? Don't you know proportions are the most important thing? Your boobs are just uselessly, disgustingly huge!"
That was Rebecca, launching a heated diss at an elf she'd never met.
However, the elf, far from getting angry, was calmly smiling. Indeed, as a woman equipped with a giant baby-food dispenser, her maternal love seemed to overflow.
"What's the name of the red-haired miss?"
"Rebecca."
"I see, Miss Rebecca. If you're so confident in your figure, then strip right now and come out of the carriage. Let's walk the streets naked together."
"Wha—what?!"
"A beautiful body is a blessing from nature. Hiding it is a great sin. Let's bare ourselves and be freed from the shackles of sin. Just like this!"
Riiip—!
At that moment, a sound like fabric tearing reached my ears.
I couldn't tell for sure with my head down, but the elf had probably torn off her leaf clothes. The street erupted with men cheering like monkeys.
"Thank you! Long live the elves!"
"It's really true that in this city, you don't need fap material!"
But I was the only one who couldn't see the elf.
The moment the public exposure began, Rebecca blushed and pressed down on the back of my head. I hadn't even intended to lift my head, but I felt wronged.
"That crazy elf bitch!"
Swish—!
In the blink of an eye, Rebecca drew the curtain over the carriage window.
Only after completely blocking the view outside could I finally lift my head.
Rebecca, her face burning, fanned herself with her hand and asked me,
"Are all elves perverts like that? Why do they act so vulgar in the street! I thought they were a noble race living in the forest, but they're nothing like that!"
"Anyone who doesn't know elves probably thinks like you. But once you meet them, the illusion shatters. Elves live like primitive tribespeople."
"......They're primitives?"
"Here, they at least wear leaf clothes. Back in their homeland, they say they go completely naked. They're a full-on nudist tribe."
Elves live entirely as nudists in their homeland.
Upon hearing that, Rebecca pressed a hand to her forehead as if dizzy.
"Listening to you makes me feel like I'm losing my mind."
"Get a grip. There's a race that lives even more lewdly right next to you."
"Hmph. Lewd, my ass."
Rebecca snorted, then gently rested her head on my shoulder.
Her hair tickled me softly.
"I'm curious, where's the elves' homeland?"
"The Albheim Archipelago. You can take a boat from this port city."
"Okay. Got it. So let's never, ever go there."
A ban on entering the Albheim Archipelago had been issued.
In that moment, I had become a man who couldn't go to the elves' homeland.
"Ah...."
"Ah...?"
"That's perfectly fine."
"What kind of half-assed answer is that?!"
Rebecca puffed out her cheeks and nuzzled her head against my shoulder like a sulking cat.
Her soft, straight hair tickling me made me burst out laughing.
"Ah, fine. I won't go. I really won't go."
"Say 'those elf bitches'."
"Those elf bitches—!"
Rebecca finally wrung a definitive answer out of me.
But even after getting her answer, Rebecca didn't pull away from me.
Until the carriage passed through the city and arrived at Bella's villa, we spent time chatting about this and that.
*
We arrived at the villa and immediately unpacked.
As expected of a noble lady, Bella's villa had servants on standby, including maids and a gardener.
"Welcome, adventurers."
"Please leave all your luggage to us."
Thanks to the maids who efficiently took care of our luggage, we didn't have to bother with it.
After listening to Bella's explanation, we each split up to get ready for the beach.
"You can all bring your swimsuits. The beach in the port city is warm even in autumn. Regardless of the season, you can enjoy sea bathing anytime."
"You can swim in autumn?"
"Yes, Luke."
Of course you can swim.
But it was autumn, so the weather had turned chilly; if you soaked in the sea, you'd catch a cold.
I found it hard to understand what they meant by only the beach being warm.
"The mages of Nain Gard placed a special spell on the beach. They say it's an ancient Rune Magic that keeps the air and water temperature constant at all times. As a student of runology, Luke, you might find something to learn from it."
A spell that keeps a region's temperature constant 365 days a year is amazing.
It wasn't just a single room—it was controlling the temperature of an entire open beach.
If I could learn that Ancient Magic, it seemed I wouldn't have to worry about heating bills for the rest of my life.
"Let's hurry."
"Wait, Luke. I'll go out and buy a swimsuit."
"Me too, Mongma-nim!"
My lovers quickly bought swimsuits from a clothing store in town.
By afternoon, we followed Bella and arrived at the beach of the port city.
"Wow! It really is warm here."
"It feels like summer, sis. And it's October."
Even though it was October, the beach was packed with people enjoying the water.
The air was hot and sultry, as if the season had been frozen in summer. Children frolicked on the sandy beach, women sunbathed, and people soaked in the sea, swimming.
Watching the beach scenery made my body heat up. I was curious about the identity of the Ancient Magic causing this mysterious phenomenon, but for now, I just wanted to enjoy the summer resort.
"Go change into your swimsuits in the changing room! Let's play here for the day!"
After Bella finished speaking, we each went into the changing rooms and got changed.
Since I was the only man here, I had no choice but to go to the men's changing room on my own.
The men's changing room was quite far, so it took a while to change and come back.
"Hehe! Try and catch me!"
"Sis! Wait up!"
When I returned to the beach, my lovers were already in the water, splashing around.
Both Rebecca and Kate looked stunning in their bikinis.
But right now, I couldn't take my eyes off Kate.
'What the hell is that fashion?'
It was the veil.
Even in a bikini, the blonde nun hadn't removed the nun's veil from her head.
Did she want to proudly assert that she was a nun, even at the beach?
"Ah! Mongma-nim has arrived! Over here!"
Kate was the first to look at me and wave her hand.
Just as I was about to wave back to Kate,
"Hehe! What do you think of my figure?"
Kate bent over, striking a seductive pose that showed off her cleavage, and looked at me.
I couldn't keep my wits about me in the face of her sudden temptation.
I'm fucking horny.
So horny I'm about to lose it.
Those were the only words I could muster.
'The veil makes it even hotter.'
Looking at Kate, I had to acknowledge that the combination of a nun's veil and a bikini was a perfect match.
