Part 1
After leaving the village of the Ice Wolf race, we’re heading back to Ranalitta.
Unlike the trip from Ranalitta, we’re in no hurry to get back, so I drove the raptor, a bipedal reptile that you can use as a mount, at a comfortable pace.
While riding the raptor, I kept my eyes peeled for any monsters that might appear. I want to gain experience by defeating them and also secure today’s lunch.
We’re eating monsters not to keep the food costs down, but to get stronger. So far, we have only eaten a one-horned rabbit. The quickest path to becoming stronger is to frequently find and eat monsters with compatible factors, incorporate that factor into your body, and raise your talent values.
It’s necessary to eat as many kinds of monsters as possible.
There are two types of monsters:
One is the naturally occurring monsters that move about freely. Most fall into that category.
The others are the monsters used by the demons. These monsters can follow their master’s instructions and act in an organized manner. Those are almost never seen.
Making a raptor run is quite exhilarating. It’s fast and it doesn’t tire the people riding it. This was a good purchase.
While thinking about that, I see a monster concealed behind a tree in a forest.
“Found one. Setsuna, Freia, let’s hunt that monster.”
That monster was a wild boar with unusually long hind legs and a green body. I stopped the raptor while thinking about a way to cook the boar while making it taste good.
Part 2
“Uuu, there’s mud all over my body.”
Freia whines. Even her peach-colored hair, her pride and joy, is covered in mud.
We were running through the forest to catch the strange green boar monster, but at some point the boar splashed us with mud with its hind legs.
Setsuna and I easily dodged the boar’s attack, but Freia, who isn’t very athletic, was splashed right in the face and even fell over. Thanks to that, it turned into a disastrous situation.
After that, we managed to somehow defeat the green boar, prepare the meat and use it for lunch.
“Un, Freia dumb. Being hit like that means you’re unskilled.”
“Setsuna-chan, you’re horrible. After all, it can’t be helped, since I’m a Magician.”
Her argument is reasonable, but we still need to do something about it.
“Freia, you were quite lucky that it was mud that was thrown this time. If it were rocks instead, you would have gotten seriously injured.”
Usually, you’d have a Magician be protected by some vanguard, and then deal serious damage to the enemy with their magic. But, since we’re working with a small Party, we don’t have such a luxury. A certain level of self-defense is necessary.
This is a problem for Freia and she’s well aware of it for a good while. I had been planning to teach Freia some melee combat from the start. I have a good idea.
“Setsuna, from now on you’ll train Freia for two hours every day.”
“Keyaruga-sama, is that order?”
Setsuna asks with a slightly displeased face.
“It is. Besides, I’m sure Setsuna is more suited for teaching than I am.”
After all, while I have a lot of combat skills, I gained them from using Imitation Heal on others. Although I have shared in their memories and experiences, it’s hard to say it’s become my own flesh and blood.
Setsuna, on the other hand, had been struggling against her level limit and had been working hard enough to kill most people. I’m sure she’s more suitable as a teacher.
“Un, if Keyaruga-sama says so. Turn Freia into a full-fledged warrior. Setsuna strict, careful not to die.”
“P-please be gentle with me.”
Slightly stiff, Freia bows her head. I’ll commend her for not even trying to refuse.
“Well, to start off, you should clean the mud off your body. The water we have on hand isn’t enough for that.”
“No problem. There’s river near.”
Setsuna said while her white wolf ears twitched. She has very good hearing, she probably heard the sound of water somewhere we couldn’t hear.
“If that’s the case, let’s take a bath. I’d like to refresh myself as well.”
“I agree. I’m all sweaty and sticky from all that running.”
“Setsuna doesn’t mind. Follow Keyaruga-sama.”
Then, it’s decided. We went to the river right away.
Part 3
Setsuna and Freia took off their clothes and jumped into the river.
Then, they began to wash their own clothes on that same river. They have spare underwear in their bags, but outerwear is bulky, so we have to take chances like this to wash them.
Two beautiful girls exposing their naked figures in a river under the sun. That’s quite a picturesque scene.
Freia’s feminine body and Setsuna’s slender and immature body. Both are wonderful and give off a lot of charm.
Setsuna and Freia finish washing their clothes and hang them on a tree branch. Freia then began to gracefully swim in the river. But Setsuna was doing something strange.
She was in the shallow part of the water, and she was staring at the river intently with her ice-blue eyes. After a while, she waved her arm.
“… I didn’t know you could catch fish like that. It’s like a bear.”
I chuckle. Every time Setsuna waves her arm, fish fly through the air. What’s more, the fish all fall into a small pond she made by digging a little hole and surrounding it with rocks.
Setsuna is probably trying to secure our lunch for the day. It’s a very wild way of fishing. Setsuna nodded her head, satisfied with the number of fish she had caught.
I felt like playing a little prank.
“Kya! Keyaruga-sama.”
I hugged Setsuna tightly from behind, and then I caressed her modest breasts.
“A place like this isn’t bad either.”
“But, Freia here.”
Setsuna has recently gotten used to sex, but it was still hard for her to do it in such a bright place while being looked at by others. She seems quite embarrassed and her white skin turns red.
She looks around, her wolf ears twitch as she looks for signs of presence in the surroundings.
When I pinch a sensitive area, she twitches and covers her mouth, trying her best to not let out a sound.
That stimulates my sadistic heart. I’ll love not just her breasts, but also her lower private parts as well.
“Keyaruga-sama, stop, really. Voice will, iyaaaaaaaa!”
She moaned loudly. Freia naturally noticed and looked at us. Freia and Setsuna’s eyes met. Setsuna’s eyes are teary.
“Freia, come here.”
“Yes, Keyaruga-sama.”
“Freia, isn’t it interesting? Down here, how does it compare to your own? You’re both women, but isn’t it completely different?”
“It’s true. It’s my first time seeing another girl’s, so I’m surprised.”
“S-stop, starting like that… weird.”
Freia was staring at Setsuna, who I was hugging from behind and also caressing her breasts and pussy. Setsuna was embarrassed to be seen, but also excited. She’s much more responsive than usual.
I try whispering in her ear.
“Setsuna is a pervert that feels good from being watched.”
“Nnn, nnnn~!”
Setsuna let out an inaudible moan. She was already bright red, but I was surprised to see her turning even redder.
“Starting tomorrow, Setsuna is going to have to train Freia, right? In that case, I think you two should start getting to know each other, starting by Setsuna’s cute side. … I’ll do Setsuna from the back, so Freia takes care of Setsuna from the front.”
“Yes, I’ll do my best!”
“D-don’t, Freia doesn’t have to do best. Don’t look anymore.”
Setsuna is cute when she’s panicking. She’s already more than wet enough, so I lifted her up and inserted into her.
“Yaa! Big, bigger than usual.”
Then, I began moving my hips. Setsuna’s pussy is hot and wet.
When it’s just the two of us alone, Setsuna would let out her erotic voice. But, because Freia is here, she’s desperately trying to hold back. That’s also cute.
“Setsuna-chan, you’re so cute.”
Freia also began to take action. She licked Setsuna’s erect nipples, making Setsuna’s eyes widen.
That’s not bad at all. I’ll also move my hips faster.
Freia responded by kissing Setsuna and intertwining their tongues. Not just that, her right hand caressed Setsuna’s breast while her left hand went down to caress Setsuna’s privates. That’s… a woman’s unique way of attacking I guess.
And so, with the two of us attacking her, Setsuna arched her back as far as she could. I could feel Setsuna’s walls convulsing through my dick. Unable to hold back, I let out my semen.
Setsuna’s eyes went vacant and her white wolf ears flattened. I pulled out of her and let her down. A white liquid dripped and floated on the surface of the water.
“Setsuna, isn’t this kind of thing also good every once in a while?”
“… Felt good. But Setsuna prefers being alone with Keyaruga-sama.”
She says such cute things with moist eyes.
I felt someone’s gaze on me. Freia was looking at me while playing with my dick.
“Um, Keyaruga-sama, when I saw Setsuna-chan I also got aroused, and I can’t resist anymore. … Please make love to me as well.”
Seems like I don’t have a choice. Under this blue sky, I’ll make sure to give plenty of love to Freia as well.
I heard the sound of water. Setsuna seems to have stood up, and there was something dark in her eyes.
“Now Setsuna’s turn, also want to show thank you for before. Help show even more embarrassing appearance than Setsuna’s.”
“Hii-?!”
Freia was frightened, but I’m looking forward to it. It looks like Setsuna is going to cooperate, so I’ll show Freia plenty of love.
Part 4
After a dip in the river to wash off the mud and sweat, I began cooking the meat of the monster we hunted earlier.
Setsuna and Freia were tired and limp. I might have been a little too excited.
To tell the truth, I like doing it outside during the day. It feels nice to exercise your body under the sun.
“Well, I guess I should start cooking.”
I’m the only one able to stand here. I’m also really energetic because, even though we’re a bit late for lunch because we were playing around too much, I’m going to cook something good. Those girls satisfied me, so now it’s my turn to satisfy them.
After sexual appetite comes the appetite for actual food. People are happy so long as they get to have sex, eat good food and sleep.
“As I thought, boar meat is hard.”
I can tell by the feel of my blade. It’s too tough to eat no matter if it’s grilled or boiled. But my Jade Eye has detected a compatible factor in this meat that would increase the physical defense talent.
Even if it’s bad, I have to eat it. But, if you simply put up with the bad taste, you’re just a barbarian. I should think of a way to cook it to make it taste good.
Alright, I have an idea.
“Hard meat should be minced.”
I put a chunk of the wild boar meat on an improvised cutting board made of stone and carefully beat it with a sword.
Once the meat is minced, I chop the wild vegetables I picked earlier and mix it with the meat. I also add some dry bread and water as well and knead it all together. After kneading, I make it into dumplings.
In my village, this method was often used to cook old horses who were no longer able to work. The old horse’s meat would be hard and sinewy, and it wouldn’t taste good if eaten normally, but with this method, even the toughest meat would become tender and tasty.
Then, I pour water into a pot and heat it over a bonfire. I also added miso, a reddish brown seasoning made from fermented corn, that I had on my bag. Once the miso smells good, I put in the dumplings.
“Yeah, this will lessen the bad smell.”
I thought about grilling the dumplings, but the smell was too strong for just the vegetables to overcome it. So I decided to use them as ingredients for the miso soup. Miso has a strong taste and aroma, so it should counter the dumplings.
“Oh yeah, Setsuna caught some fishes.”
With her bear-like hunting skills, she caught all the fish on a small pond. After removing their entrails and chopping them up, I threw them into the pot.
I’ll also wash and throw in all the edible vegetables and mushrooms I can find. I’ll increase the nutritional value and remove the smell.
Miso soup is good. Even if you just throw in a few random ingredients without thinking, the flavor will come together.
After simmering for a while, a nutritious wild vegetable soup with meat and fish is ready.
“Good smell. Setsuna hungry.”
Before I knew it, Setsuna had gotten up and had also dressed herself, and now she was standing behind me with her nose twitching.
“I’m proud of this one. There’s plenty of meat and fish in the soup.”
“Looks delicious. Can’t wait to eat it.”
“Could you wake up Freia?”
“No need. Look.”
Just as I looked at Freia, she got up and her stomach rumbled. Then, she held her stomach in embarrassment and blushed.
After all that exercising, it’s no wonder she’s hungry.
“Yeah, seems fine. Now then, let’s start our late lunch.”
“Un, bring the plates.”
Setsuna took out a plate for each of us from her bag, washed them and then gave them to me. I pour a generous amount of soup containing the chopped fish and dumplings.
Freia hurriedly got dressed and came over to me.
Well, it’s time for a pleasant lunch.
Part 5
“These dumplings smell a bit, but they’re fluffy and taste like vegetables, so they’re really good.”
“Setsuna likes chewy better. Fish is best.”
Freia was eating the dumplings with elegance, while Setsuna was eating the fish bone by bone.
I also took my share of the soup.
The taste is quite peculiar, but the flavor itself is strong. It’s the type of taste that makes you addicted to it.
The dumplings are fluffy, just as I’d hoped. The fish are freshly caught, so it couldn’t be bad.
“We seem to have enough for a second serving. Do any of you want more?”
“I’ll gratefully accept it… I’m hungry after that workout.”
“Setsuna as well.”
They both wanted more. Just the meat wasn’t enough, I was saved because of the fish Setsuna caught.
“Keyaruga-sama, this dish delicious but also strange. Feel stronger.”
I’m surprised. As expected of an Ice Wolf with keen senses. She was able to feel the increase in her talent values.
“Actually, I used the meat from the boar monster we defeated earlier. Monster meat is poisonous if you eat it normally, but, by using a secret technique passed down in my village, not only can you eat it, it also makes you stronger.”
“Amazing, Keyaruga-sama. Make people stronger other than increasing level limit.”
The reason why eating monsters makes you stronger is because you can remove the miasma from them with Purification* so you can take in their Compatibility Factor*.
There are only a few people who know this.
Hearing that, Setsuna looks at me with a sparkling gaze of respect. I guess it’s because Setsuna is an Ice Wolf, who are known for having an appetite for strength, and she hungers for strength more than anyone else from her race.
“Other than this, I have many secrets. Setsuna will never regret becoming my property. I’ll make Setsuna the strongest in the world, behind only me.”
“No plans to regret it. Setsuna already received a lifetime worth of help, so give back for rest of life.”
That’s an interesting mindset. I’ll never find someone like this with such good talent values again, so I’ll make sure to take good care of her.
“I’ll have to eat a lot if I’m going to become stronger! I’ll do my best to move as fast as Setsuna-chan!”
Freia is being competitive with Setsuna, I can’t help but giggle. This kind of idyllic time seems precious to me.
After we emptied the pot, we left. Although we took a small detour, we were able to reach Ranalitta’s inn before night fell. I had sex with them for the rest of the night… and then, once they were both sleeping, I talked with myself.
“I haven’t forgotten. I’ll definitely get my revenge. Next is the Sword Hero, then the Cannon Hero. Wait for me, Blade, Bullet.”
My revenge isn’t over yet. Now’s the time to prepare. The seeds have been planted, it’s time for them to sprout.
With these thoughts in mind, I drifted off to sleep.
