Chapter 35: Return(2)
“Old man… do you really not know the name Belarus?”
“I told you I don’t. Goodness!”
“Try to remember. Old man! You must have heard it somewhere. Just try to recall it!”
Victoria pressed him, but the old man couldn’t recall a thing. Inside the castle walls, who wouldn’t know the name Belarus? But it was different out here.
“Stop snickering, Kerry.”
“Hmph… What can I do? It’s funny.”
Contrary to Victoria’s bold claims, the old man didn’t know the name Belarus, and the only reason we’d been allowed in was simple goodwill.
Kerry quieted Victoria, who was still going on about the greatness of the Belarus family.
“Sir. The truth is, we’re stranded. There’s a place called Praha Castle, ruled by the Belarus family, just as this lady said. We need to get back there. Do you know the way?”
“Praha Castle, you say… I’ve lived here alone my whole life, so I wouldn’t know.”
“So it’s that far…”
“Then what forest is this?”
“Nodeway Forest.”
At that, Victoria flared up.
“What! If this is Nodeway Forest, it’s not even that far! How can you not know the name Belarus?”
That’s not the problem right now.
“I’m an ignorant man, never been to a castle or the like. Just an old codger living off the forest.”
“It seems you live alone… Is it safe here?”
“It’s more livable than other places. This area is the territory of a big, lizard-like monster, so there are hardly any smaller ones around.”
“…”
Felt like we’d be goners if we ran into that. Just as I was thinking I’d rather not meet this big lizard, Victoria spoke, a hint of excitement in her voice.
“Kerry, that’s not what’s important. If this really is Nodeway Forest… as long as we can get out of it, I know the way. We can get back to the castle.”
“That’s great news.”
“Hmm? You want to leave the forest? It’s too late now, that’s impossible. The big lizard moves at night. If you need a guide, I’ll show you the way tomorrow.”
“Thank you, sir. We know very well how dangerous the forest is at night. If it’s alright with you… in addition to guiding us, could we impose on you for just one night?”
“I’ll pay,” Victoria cut in.
“How much are you offering?”
Kerry took out 10 silver from the emergency pouch he was carrying. It was a good thing he’d remembered to keep his money pouch on him, even in this situation.
“Oh, 10 silver is more than enough for one night. You want to eat, too?”
“If you have anything to eat, we’d appreciate it.”
“Alright. It’ll take a while to get a fire going and prepare things. You can rest upstairs on the second floor.”
“Thank you.”
Kerry and Victoria went up to the second floor. Perhaps because the house was built atop an old tree, the view was incredible.
Victoria ran to the window and opened it.
“The view is quite nice.”
“Close the window, you’ll let the mosquitoes in.”
“Way to ruin the mood.”
Victoria closed the window and gazed down at the green forest. They may have been stranded here, but not all the memories were bad.
This was where she and Kerry had grown closer, where they had made memories. But today might be the last of it.
Tomorrow, the old man would guide them out of the forest… Nearby, there was a village Victoria knew. From there, they could rent horses and reach the castle in no time.
“Kerry…”
“What is it? You’re just staring outside instead of helping me unpack.”
“Come here.”
“Wait… what are you… mmph.”
Victoria pulled Kerry into an embrace and showered him with kisses. Every second was precious. She felt as if this might be her last day to enjoy herself with him.
“Aren’t you tired after walking so far?”
“I am a mana user. A walk like that is nothing to me. More importantly, listen to me, Kerry.”
“What’s wrong? You look like something terrible has happened.”
“It is a big deal. Tomorrow… tomorrow, our journey together might come to an end.”
It was less a journey and more being stranded.
In any case, the thought that his sex life with Victoria might end tomorrow was a little disappointing.
Opportunities to have this much sex with a woman this beautiful were rare.
“I’m not ready for it to end. I’m going to set tonight on fire.”
“Then do whatever you want tonight.”
“Don’t you forget you said that. I won’t let you sleep tonight.”
With those words, Victoria pressed her lips to Kerry’s. It was a deep, wet kiss, her tongue pushing insistently into his mouth.
Kerry lifted Victoria as they kissed and carried her to the bed. He immediately pushed up her shirt and kneaded her breasts.
Slurp—
With every touch from Kerry, Victoria’s breathing grew rougher.
Kerry knew her weak spot. Her ears. He began sucking on her ear while rubbing her clitoris.
“You always target my sensitive ears like this! Hngh!”
Perhaps from the moment Kerry learned her pleasure points, their intense relationship had been a foregone conclusion.
Her pussy responded to his fingers as if on reflex, slick with juices.
In fact, she had climaxed so many times with Kerry that now, just meeting his gaze was enough to fill her with lewd thoughts and turn her on.
Squish, squish, squish.
Kerry fucked her pussy with his fingers. He had to be thorough. It wasn’t just a warm-up; Victoria wouldn’t be satisfied until he’d pleased her completely with his fingers.
“I’m putting it in, Victoria.”
“Haaah… Kerry, you can put it in me anytime.”
Kerry’s massive cock began to push its way into her pussy. Her tightly closed entrance slowly stretched open.
Victoria’s mouth fell open as well, a moan about to escape. Just then, Kerry covered her mouth with his hand.
“Shh. The old man is downstairs. This house doesn’t seem very soundproof, so you can’t make any noise.”
Victoria nodded. Only then did Kerry slowly remove his hand. He began to move his hips.
Victoria’s firm breasts swayed like pudding. No matter how many times he saw it, that soft movement was a turn-on.
Victoria covered her own mouth with both hands. The orgasm rushing through her was so intense she couldn’t have held back her moans otherwise.
“Hnngh… hhh… Hnngh!”
Kerry gave it his all, determined to make this final night of their sex life a spectacular one.
He set the mood more than usual and caressed her with painstaking care. He didn’t forget to put all his strength into his hips, either.
Victoria was happy. She wondered if she had ever been happier than she was right now.
Every time Kerry’s cock thrust into her, it felt new. It had reached the point where she felt she couldn’t live without it.
‘Kerry’s cock… the look on his face when he’s turned on… the abs I see every time he moves his hips… I love all of it!’
Kerry continued to thrust his hips, sometimes lifting Victoria to fuck her, sometimes taking her from behind.
There was an established finale between Kerry and Victoria.
It was coming in her mouth. Since he couldn’t come inside her, it had become a habit.
“I think I’m going to cum, Victoria!”
“Wait a moment!”
Victoria shot up from the bed and opened her mouth. Then she took his cock eagerly.
Only then did Kerry release the climax he’d been holding back.
Victoria flinched in surprise as her mouth filled with semen.
When he pulled out, he could see Victoria’s face, her mouth full of white semen.
Victoria closed her lips and swallowed the semen neatly.
“Was it good?”
“The best.”
“We’re not stopping at one round, are we?”
“As if I would.”
This was the last night of their sex life. Neither of them had any intention of taking it easy.
Just as Kerry was about to start his engine for another round…
“Come on down for dinner! Young man! Young lady!”
“Yes! We’re coming down now!”
As if they had no choice, the two began to rummage for their clothes. It was fine. They could enjoy themselves again after dinner.
Kerry, who dressed first, went down to the first floor. Victoria followed right behind him.
A veritable feast was laid out before them.
“Wow. You eat well, sir. For us to show up so suddenly and you prepare a meal like this… a boar’s leg… soup… this is incredible.”
“Oh. It looks quite delicious.”
Though the two had managed to eat well while living in the cave, the absence of proper seasoning was something they couldn’t overcome.
“Don’t be shy, eat up. From the sounds of it, you two had a rough time in the forest.”
“That’s not entirely true, but… anyway, thank you for the food!”
“You’re welcome.”
Kerry scanned each dish as if inspecting it, then began to eat.
After confirming Kerry was eating, Victoria followed suit.
“Wow. This pork is delicious.”
“The soup is quite good, too.”
The two diligently emptied their bowls. It was the first time in a long while they’d had food with seasoning. Though the old man’s cooking was rustic, it felt like it was melting in their mouths.
As they were eating, the old man, who had been watching them, threw out a casual remark.
“You young folks are really something else. I didn’t expect you to start enjoying yourselves the moment you arrived. And the young lady looks so demure, but she’s quite something.”
“Pfft!”
Victoria was so startled she choked and started coughing. He heard everything.
“Didn’t mean to listen in. This house is made of planks, so there’s no soundproofing at all. But you’ve got some real stamina, young man. Sounded just like I did in my younger days.”
“I-Is that so…”
“Old man… i-it’s not like that. Don’t misunderstand.”
“What’s not like what? You sounded like you were dying of pleasure. Ah, to be young again.”
Victoria’s face turned red all the way to her earlobes, her pupils trembling.
“I believe the young lady’s name was… Bella… Bella something?”
“Forget it! Forget every name you heard!”
“First you tell me to remember, then you tell me to forget. You’re quite the whimsical young lady.”
Victoria hastily finished her soup and fled the table. She was running away in embarrassment.
“You’re quite the tease, sir.”
“Bah, it’s just a little joke. The real troublemakers are you two, doing that sort of thing in a house where a man lives alone.”
“There were… circumstances. I apologize, but it might get noisy again tonight. You might want to wear earplugs…”
“The fire of youth. Ho ho.”
Kerry silently began to finish the remaining food. Victoria’s portion was still there, but the food suited his palate, and he felt bad leaving leftovers for the old man.
As he ate in silence, an unsettling sound reached Kerry’s ears.
Scrape— Scrape— Scrape
It was the sound of something scratching a wall. It wasn’t loud, but the fact that he could hear it so clearly proved the house really had no soundproofing.
“Does that sound bother you? Don’t mind it. I have an old pet dog… the fella’s so old he can barely move, so I keep him in his room. He scratches the wall like that when he needs me.”
“…Is that so.”
For a dog, the sound was somehow sinister. The old man’s expression and atmosphere were different from before, too.
It didn’t matter.
He knew from the beginning that this old man was strange.
[Status – Anger, Madness, Excitement, Cursed]
The reason he entered the home of such a suspicious old man was simple: dealing with one old man was easier than wandering through the forest at night.
That’s why he had secretly whispered a warning to Victoria from the start, and why he checked every single dish with the Goddess’s Eye before eating. To see if there was any poison.
Thankfully, all the food was fine.
“Ah, I’m full. Thank you for the meal, sir!”
“You’re a very pleasant young man. If you’re done eating, head on up. I’ve already been paid, so I’ll handle the cleanup.”
“Then I’ll leave it to you. I’m still not over my travel fatigue…”
“Travel fatigue? Isn’t your girlfriend waiting for you? Have a good time.”
Kerry gave a short farewell and went up to his room. As expected, Victoria was already naked and waiting for him on the bed.
“Kerry. Come here.”
And so, the two’s happy time continued. All the way until the sun had completely set and the sky began to hint at dawn.
The scent of sex clung to Victoria’s entire body.
Panting on the bed in satisfaction, Victoria looked utterly debauched.
“Victoria. I’m going to go down and check things out.”
“Be careful, Kerry.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not weak enough to be taken down by a powerless old man.”
There wasn’t just one or two suspicious things about that old geezer. Kerry wasn’t soft enough to let his guard down and sleep soundly in a place like this.
Muffling his footsteps, Kerry carefully began to head down to the first floor.
