Side Story: The Orc Empress (4)
The orc chieftain snatched Lee Jun by the nape of his neck and roared through gritted teeth. How dare a male appear in his tribe. A male who hadn't been killed and rendered down into meat by the Gaunt Orcs walking into the settlement meant his territory had been invaded — and not in the mere animal sense. He judged this male had come hunting for his females.
Choi Min-seo had originally been Lee Jun's female, but the orc chieftain had no way of knowing that — and even if he had, he would never have acknowledged it. He glared at Lee Jun as if he meant to kill him on the spot.
"Was it you? The one who turned Min-seo into that?"
The gap in strength was absolutely insurmountable, but Lee Jun didn't flinch. If anything, his eyes gleamed as he glared right back. Of course, that posed no real threat to the orc chieftain. The creature reached out and seized Lee Jun's head in his fist. If he put even a little more force into his grip, Jun's skull would shatter into a lump of meat.
"W-wait, please!"
At that moment, Choi Min-seo crawled forward on her hands and knees, one arm wrapped around her swollen belly. She pressed her forehead to the dirt and began to beg.
"Master! Please, spare this male!"
"Min-seo??"
Watching her, Lee Jun clenched his teeth. The fact that she was grinding her head into the ground to save him — and the fact that he couldn't do a single thing about it — filled him with bitter, helpless frustration.
"Grrngh??"
"I-I'll work even harder to bear more cubs! This male can take care of them — he'll do a good job of it!"
Even with Choi Min-seo's pleading, the orc chieftain still wore an expression of distaste. He stroked his chin with one hand as he looked Lee Jun up and down. Truthfully, leaving him alive in the tribe didn't seem like it would be much of a problem. He was a male, yes, but his appearance was closer to a female's. And using him as a househusband to raise the cubs wasn't a bad idea either. Still, keeping a male in the tribe left him with an uneasy feeling.
Sensing the chieftain's hesitation, Choi Min-seo poured every ounce of charm she had into her appeal. She dragged her swollen belly across the floor, crawled up to the orc chieftain's feet, and began licking them with her tongue. The orc chieftain cackled at the sight and lifted his foot, pressing it down on her head. Even in that humiliating position — her skull pinned under his sole — Choi Min-seo didn't give up, twisting her neck to try to lick the bottom of his foot.
"GRAAH!"
The orc chieftain made a sound that amounted to Fine, whatever! and finally permitted Lee Jun to remain in the tribe. Right then and there, he pulled out his cock, violated Choi Min-seo once, then turned and left the room.
"Kh... Min-seo. Because of me..."
Lee Jun whimpered as he looked at Choi Min-seo, semen bubbling and overflowing from her pussy. Contrary to his worries, she was in better shape than he'd expected. Being violated by the orc chieftain was something she'd grown somewhat used to by now. More than anything, she was overjoyed that she could be together with the Lee Jun she loved.
Choi Min-seo wrapped her arms tightly around him as he stared at her with a helpless expression. The moment she did, a small orc watching from the side started to approach, but she raised a hand to stop it.
"This man isn't an enemy. From now on, he's the one who'll take care of all of you."
"Kwonng?"
The small orc couldn't understand human speech — it only picked up the gist through instinct — and tilted its head.
"It's okay if you don't understand right now. You'll figure it out gradually."
It didn't understand the words, but it was certain that Lee Jun wasn't an enemy, so the small orc nodded.
From that day on, Lee Jun's life as a househusband began.
His days started with caring for the baby orcs. Normally a baby would nurse on breast milk or formula, but the baby orcs grew so rapidly that they were weaned off milk and eating meat within just three days. Lee Jun would cut the meat into appropriate sizes and distribute it among them. Mixed in with that meat was the flesh of a hero once known as Iron Wall, but he squeezed his eyes shut and kept slicing.
Once mealtime was over, next came cleaning Choi Min-seo's room.
"Hngh♡ Hyaaah♡ Haaaah♡♡♡ Yes♡ Pump Mommy's pussy full♡♡"
Even while Lee Jun was cleaning, Choi Min-seo and a small orc were coupling right beside him. Watching his beloved wife being violated by something as low as an orc was deeply humiliating — and at the same time, so arousing that his cock stood at full attention. He had to move in an awkward, hunched posture to hide his erection as best he could.
When the day's work was done and the room was fully cleaned, Lee Jun and Choi Min-seo could have time alone together. Normally the small orc would have been glued to Choi Min-seo's side, but she'd spoken to it so they could have a stretch of time just the two of them.
Of course, that didn't mean they could actually have sex. The Gaunt Orcs had sensitive noses — the moment another male's scent appeared on her body, they would kill Lee Jun on the spot. Still, as long as he didn't cum inside her pussy, she was allowed to catch it with her hand, so whenever they had a moment, Choi Min-seo would stroke Lee Jun's cock and make him climax.
"Hehe♡ Did that feel good?"
"Y-yeah."
"Getting turned on watching your wife get fucked by orcs. Isn't that a little too much?"
"The problem is you look too filthy and beautiful when an orc is violating you."
They looked at each other and giggled.
Then one day, as they were spending their own little sweet moments together, Choi Min-seo collapsed, seized by labor pains. Startled, Lee Jun rushed over, supported her, and laid her down on the bed they'd made of layered leaves.
"M-Min-seo."
"Mm. I'm okay. I've already been through this plenty of times."
Even in the middle of contractions, she was worried about Lee Jun. What if he felt disgust watching her give birth to an orc's child? There was that saying, wasn't there? Sometimes people developed trauma from watching a baby being born in the delivery room. And if that child wasn't even his — if it was an orc's child — how much more of a shock would that be?
"It's okay. Even if the sky falls, I'm on your side."
Whether he'd sensed her worry or not, Lee Jun took her hand as he spoke. Reassured by his words, Choi Min-seo finished the delivery the same way she already had several times before.
"Hogohk♡♡ Hoooohk♡ I-I'm cumming while giving birth to an orc's baby♡♡ Right in front of Jun♡ Giving birth to an orc's child while I♡♡"
The pheromones released the moment the baby was born sent her over the edge, and she howled as she climaxed. The pleasure at the peak was so intense that she thrashed and flopped like a freshly caught fish.
"M-Min-seo."
Lee Jun stared at her with wide eyes. But she was already so overwhelmed by pleasure she could barely breathe, and she couldn't even answer. All she could do was gasp for air.
"Waaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaaah!"
Lee Jun looked down at the baby orc in his arms. A baby orc that his beloved wife had given birth to — not his, and not even human.
"Ugh... ugh..."
Watching the baby orc open its mouth wide and cry, a strange sensation crawled up his spine. What was this feeling supposed to be? It was definitely a sensation he'd felt somewhere before.
Ah. I get it.
The first time they'd enjoyed their netorase play. When Sun Kim first shoved his cock into her pussy, and he'd watched it through his phone — that exact sensation.
Pleasure.
"Ugh."
Lee Jun's body trembled. He'd just come, right then and there. He looked down at his soaked underwear and muttered under his breath.
"...Damn it. I can't even find or wash underwear out here."
The orc chieftain felt a strange unease.
It wasn't that the tribe was in decline. If anything, the tribe was more prosperous than it had ever been. The female they'd captured a year ago had been steadily producing cubs, and the male she'd begged them to spare was doing his job well. The small orcs she'd given birth to possessed, strangely enough, far greater strength than the other orcs, and they were constantly bringing in humans from outside. The Gaunt Orcs now had some twenty females for breeding, and the small orcs numbered well over a hundred.
And yet this sense of wrongness. At some point, the small orcs had started following the orders of the first captured female and the male beside her. Even more than they followed him — the chieftain of the tribe.
"Grrrrr."
The orc chieftain finally decided to kill that male. He didn't think that frail male could actually do him any harm, but you never knew with these things. Eliminating potential threats cleanly was how he'd risen to the position of chieftain in the first place.
The decision was made. All that remained was to act.
The orc chieftain grabbed a massive axe and charged toward the room where the female and male were together. He went inside, rolling his eyes this way and that, searching for the male. But strangely, the male was nowhere to be seen.
"GRAAANG!"
He interrogated the female about the male's whereabouts, but she just tilted her head with a clueless expression.
"GRRRR!!"
The orc chieftain flared his nostrils, hunting for the male by scent. Finding a male's odor in a place saturated with female smell wasn't particularly difficult, and eventually he located where it was coming from. Heading there, he found the male who'd been such an eyesore. The creature was staring back at him with gleaming eyes, uncowed, just like the first day they'd met.
"GRAAAAAANG!!"
This time, he vowed, he wouldn't show mercy no matter how much the female begged. He raised the axe high. Even as the terrifying blade gleamed, the male kept his eyes wide open and didn't back down. This time, the female just stood there watching, too.
That's right. You didn't like this male getting cocky either.
Thinking that, the orc chieftain brought the axe down.
Or rather — he tried to.
The instant he put force into his arm and swung—
SCHLUNK!!
A wet, meaty sound of flesh being severed, and blood sprayed. It wasn't Lee Jun's head that had been cut off. What had been severed was the arm of the orc chieftain who'd swung the axe.
"GYAAAAAAAAH!!"
Unable to endure the pain of his arm being chopped off, the orc chieftain collapsed on the spot. He turned his gaze to look at the being that had cut off his arm. It was a small orc — one the female had given birth to, and the male had raised.
"GRAH! GRAAAAAH!!"
The orc chieftain roared. Why weren't they following him, the leader of the tribe? When he shouted with fire in his eyes, the other orcs would cower in fear and obey. But that small orc was different. Far from being afraid, it didn't even care. The small orc's gaze was fixed solely on the female and the male.
"M-Mom. D-D-Dad. I-I caught this g-guy, just like you t-told me."
"That's right. You did very well."
Lee Jun smiled as he stroked the small orc's head, and the small orc clung to him like a baby. Even though it was a "small" orc, it was still bigger than Lee Jun, so it ended up more like Lee Jun being gathered into the small orc's arms.
While raising the small orcs that had been born, Choi Min-seo and Lee Jun had taught them to recognize the two of them as Mom and Dad. The small orcs, whose intelligence had risen thanks to inheriting Choi Min-seo's blood, had been taught language and all sorts of other things. Then they'd decided to deal with the orc chieftain, who might attack them at any time from anywhere — and they'd deliberately acted in ways that would get on his nerves.
"Good. This tribe is ours now."
Choi Min-seo nodded at Lee Jun's words. Aside from the orc chieftain, every orc in the tribe was already submitting to the small orcs. And those small orcs thought of the two of them as their parents.
"So what do we do now?"
Lee Jun asked. In the past, they would naturally have gone back to the human world — but the two of them had already spent nearly a year living in the Gaunt Orc tribe. And a year spent addicted to pheromones, repeating pregnancy and childbirth over and over, had been more than enough to completely transform their way of thinking.
Choi Min-seo smiled as she spoke.
