“Nnn… Rero… Amm… Nn…”
The sound of dripping saliva echoed in the cave.
Illuminated by magic flames, I devoured Liese’s lips and mouth.
The eyes behind her glasses were already beginning to melt.
I pulled Liese close, holding her tightly as we shared many kisses.
Eventually, when I had tasted Liese to my heart’s content, I released her lips.
“Puhah… Hah… Hah…”
“Liese, was that your first kiss?”
“Yes… I didn’t know an adult kiss could be this amazing… But I feel… a little heartbroken, Douglas-san. I want you to hold me more… Please… I can’t stand it anymore… My body feels so tight and painful…”
“Ah, I understand. But before that, let’s loosen up your body a bit more.”
“Yes… Nnn…!”
I began to caress Liese’s magnificent twin mounds over her robe.
Their large, elastic yelding softness transmitted fully into my hands.
“Nn… Hah… My chest, if you rub it like that… I… Nnn…!”
“What voluptuous breasts. They’re so large, yet so sensitive.”
“Hah… Hah… Please don’t say that… I’m embarrassed…”
“Be even more embarrassed and flustered, Liese. Don’t hide your lewd desires.”
“Yes… Ahh, ahnn… Just having my chest rubbed… Yes… My nipples… Don’t… Don’t pinch them… Ah, ahhhhh…!”
As I continued to worship her chest, Liese grew more and more flustered.
Beneath her scholar’s robe, she restlessly rubbed her thighs together.
I removed one hand from Liese’s chest and slid my hand down towards her lower body.
Reaching her lower abdomen, I slipped my hand through the gap in her robe and then inside her underwear.
*Chururi.*
“Nyaaaaaahhh…!”
Liese cried out with a stronger gasp than ever before, exposing her white throat.
I continued to tease her most intimate part with wet sounds.
“You’re already wet enough. Liese, you’re a lewd girl.”
“Ah, ahh…! Ple-please don’t say that… Nnnnn…”
“I will. Because I want Liese to become even more lewd.”
“Nooo… Ahhh… Ahhhhhh…!”
As I continued to tease her with my fingertips, Liese’s knees began to tremble, and she could no longer stand.
I gently caught her as she swayed.
“Hah… Hah…”
“You seem ready now. I’ll undress you, Liese.”
Liese, without the energy to reply, simply nodded once.
I removed Liese’s underwear, and then undressed myself, revealing my own.
Seeing my son, the half-naked girl, a scholar, swallowed hard.
“S-so big and thick… And it looks so hard, with veins showing… It’s completely different from my older brother’s that I saw when I was little…”
“Are you scared? But we’ve come this far, and I can’t turn back. I can’t resist wanting to devour cute Liese.”
“Nn… It’s okay… I’ll try my best. Please, devour me all you want.”
“Good girl.”
I stroked Liese’s head, and the half-naked girl with glasses smiled happily.
I had Liese stand, then lifted one of her legs with my arm.
In a posture that left us intimately close, I pressed the tip of myself against her.
“Here I come. Relax.”
“Y-yes. Please come, Douglas-san.”
Liese embraced me tightly with both arms.
I pushed myself into the cute, bespectacled girl.
“Ngu… Ahhhhhh!”
Breaking through something, I thrust deeper and deeper.
Liese looked up at the cave ceiling, her mouth wide open as she screamed.
“Ah, agaa…! You’re… You’re going in… You’re so big…!”
“Are you alright, Liese?”
“Hah… Hah… Y-yes… I’m managing… to stay alive…”
“Is that so? Inside you is warm, tight, and squeezing me so hard. It’s unbearable. Can I move?”
“Y-yes… I’ll try my best… So… please hold me more… Make me unable to think of anything else…!”
“Understood. I’ll devour you, Liese.”
“Yes, Douglas-san. Devour me as you please and make me a mess.”
“Ah.”
I embraced Liese and kissed her lips again.
Lip met lip, tongue met tongue, rejoicing in their second encounter.
“Nn… Nmu… Nn… Nnn…!”
While kissing and silencing her mouth, I began to move my hips.
Each time my shaft gouged Liese’s insides with a wet, squelching sound, she let out inarticulate moans.
I held Liese, and Liese held me.
For this moment, no one else could intrude; it was just the two of us.
Timing it perfectly, I intensified my thrusts.
“Nnnn–! Nmuuu–! Nn, nn, nn, nn–!”
Liese’s muffled voice, a mixture of gasps and screams, changed in tempo.
It signified that her climax was approaching.
It was about time for me too.
I released Liese’s lips and informed her.
“Liese, we’re almost there. I’m going to cum inside you.”
“Ahh, ahh, ahnn…! Yes… Come, please come… Hurry, hurry…! Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh– Ahhhhhh!”
*Thrum, thrum, thrum…!*
The scholar girl arched her back in my arms, convulsing repeatedly.
And I, too, climaxed deeply inside Liese.
*Tick, tick, tick…!*
“Ah… Ahh… It’s hot… Douglas-san’s hotness… It’s inside me…”
As I withdrew from Liese, a thick, milky white fluid that couldn’t be contained dripped from her.
***
That day, we slept in the cave wrapped in blankets and sleeping bags. The next morning.
When I slowly opened my eyes, a girl dressed as a scholar with glasses was crouching in front of me.
“Ah, you’re awake. —Good morning, Douglas-san. The weather outside is nice.”
“Oh… oh…”
Liese looked at me, still groggy, with a smile as if a burden had been lifted.
However, her lower body was exposed.
“…Your underwear is showing.”
“It’s fine with you, Douglas-san. Besides, is that something to be concerned about now?”
“Well, I suppose so… Fuwaaaaaaahhh…”
I crawled out of my blanket and sat up.
The others besides Liese seemed to still be asleep, lying around me wrapped in blankets and sleeping bags.
Looking outside the cave, as Liese had said, the rain had stopped, and a refreshing morning sun cast its rays on the new green scenery.
“The effect of the Weather Control magic only lasts for about half a day. —You seem well, Liese. That… are you alright now?”
“Yes, thanks to you. I can forget about it if I don’t try to remember.”
“I see. That’s good.”
I stroked Liese’s head and stood up.
The scholar girl grinned happily, muttering, “Eheheh.”
—Time passes, and tomorrow begins anew.
For people to move forward, they must try to forget painful and difficult things as much as possible.
But forgetting isn’t the only way of the human path.
Liese stood before me, her eyes filled with determination.
“Douglas-san, I’ve made up my mind.”
“Made up your mind? About what?”
“I want to create a world where there is no conflict between humans and the Dragon people. To that end, I’ve decided to do whatever I can, even if it’s just a small bit.”
Liese said something similar to Biner, the archer among the Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals.
While I also considered it an ideal if possible—
I warned Liese.
“I hate to dampen your resolve, but I think that will be difficult. The Dragon people hold an unforgiving grudge, and humans have already suffered too many deaths thanks to the Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals. The resentment of those whose loved ones were killed is not something that easily disappears.”
“Yes, I understand. I understand that better than anyone. —But that is precisely why.”
“…I see. Your resolve seems firm.”
“Yes.”
Liese met my gaze with unwavering eyes and spoke.
Then there is no need for me to stop her any further.
With Biner and Ain on the Dragon people’s side, and Liese on humanity’s, she would be a good bridge.
However—
There is a decisive obstacle to fulfilling their wishes.
The Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals, who continue to slaughter people, remain, and their individual strength is far beyond that of ordinary human soldiers and adventurers.
Furthermore, according to what Biner and the others told me, their plan to revive the “Dragon King Sephiroth with Ten Heads” has not yet been thwarted.
Even if the Dragon Divine Artifacts have not absorbed much blood, it seems possible to revive the Dragon King in an incomplete state.
There are two remaining Dragons Divine Artifact Generals.
According to Biner and the others, they are a man named Ketel, a longsword user, and a woman named Gebra, a rapier user.
Unless these two are dealt with, no matter how much Liese and Biner try, the situation will only worsen.
“Then my job is to defeat them.”
I turned my gaze towards the scenery outside the cave and murmured.
***
Meanwhile at that time.
An ancient ruin in a frontier forested area.
Beneath the clamor of small winged dragons like Wyverns flying around, a man entered a stone building of unknown age.
The man’s name was Ketel.
He was one of the Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals, a young Dragon person wielding a bastard sword-shaped divine artifact.
His footsteps echoed on the stone floor as he proceeded down a quiet corridor.
After some time, he arrived at a grand hall with a solemn atmosphere.
In the hall, which had a temple-like structure, one person was already waiting.
A woman stood by an altar at the back of the hall.
She was a beautiful woman with long blonde hair, and she wore a rapier at her waist.
She appeared to be slightly younger than Ketel.
Entering the room, the Dragon person youth Ketel spoke to the woman.
“Gebra. How is the blood collection progressing?”
In response, the woman shook her head.
Then she directed her gaze towards the orb dedicated at the back of the altar.
“It’s not going as smoothly as I’d hoped, brother. It seems we’ve only collected about twenty percent of the amount needed for a complete revival.”
The orb she was looking at was slightly smaller than a human head.
Its color was a deep indigo, close to purple.
As the Dragon Divine Artifacts absorbed more human blood, the color of this orb, which had a magical connection to those artifacts, would change from blue to red.
When this orb turned completely red, it would signify that the power required for the complete revival of the Dragon Queen Sephiroth had been gathered. However, its current color was far from that.
“Tch… What are the other Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals doing? With the power we’ve gained from the Dragon Divine Artifacts, it shouldn’t be that difficult to collect the blood needed for the Queen’s full revival. What do they think of our Dragon people’s long-held great wish?”
Ketel said irritably, then kissed his sister at the altar before turning sharply to leave.
“Brother, where are you going?”
“I’m going to gather human blood myself. All humans will be slaughtered.”
“Be careful, brother. There might be strong warriors among the humans.”
“They are insignificant. The strongest of the Ten Dragons Divine Artifact Generals is not Tifereth or Chesed—it is I.”
With those words, Ketel departed from the scene.
The gears of fate did not quite mesh, and Douglas and Ketel did not cross paths.
