Chapter 113

 

“Friendly dogs,” Asakura noted.

She wanted to pet them, and almost bent over to do so but we held back.

Sometimes dogs can smell that we’re not entirely human, so I pulled her back at the last second.

“Yeah hella’ friendly dogs,” I too echoed after her.

Dwarven hounds are weird as hell. They are friendly even while eating humanoid remains.

I guess somehow they picked up on or were trained into the idea that goblins and orcs aren’t people, which I guess is kind of true right? And…add to that they are pretty much cool with whoever is around them as long as they don’t smell like orcs or goblins or trying to kill people.

After that it took us some time to get settled since every single house and shed in the freshly blooded keep is now pretty much completely destroyed. The dwarves are serious too but remain toughened up and rolling with the punches.

“Come on Shun, let’s go sleep,” Asakura said. I think she looks like she really means sleep this time.

“So um, thanks for saving me and coming back for me guys. Sorry I’ve been an ass most of the trip to this ‘vacation world’,” Rina said sarcastically about the last part.

Sometime after that we managed to fall to sleep.

…

But something else happened that was interesting right after I got into the dream state. It’s like I’ve gone through a door and I had been intent on visiting Sunghee early for feeding and to boost up our relationship.

There are a lot of things I like about Sunghee. She’s very sincere, and deeply imprinted on me early somehow. So I feel like there’s this special connection. And not to mention she is always like making eyes at me with…it’s almost like her eyes are shining when she sees me.

How does she even concentrate, I wonder, since she’s been so heavily into our new relationship. And it isn’t just about the sex, although that is incredible too. In a lot of ways she’s way more into sex than Asakura is…

“Bet you thought you were going to visit Sunghee first, huh?” Fox has somehow intercepted me on the way to go wake Sunghee up. Rather than finding myself at the door to Sunghee’s room in the dream box it’s like we’re in a hallway that’s leading from the orc training room to Sunghee’s room, even though it’s a jail cell. I try not to dwell on the fact that I want to change how this place looks as soon as I can learn the magic to make the changes.

“What? I’m not…” but then I see she will see through the ruse so I just admit it openly and change my statement. “Is it bad that I’m seeing her first?”

I tried to hide my embarrassment.

Wait, I don’t need to be embarrassed! We’re in love! She’s in my harem!

To my surprise Fox is giving me a weird smirk. “Relax. I want you to build healthy relationships and I want you to keep seeing Sunghee. I also am glad you are being nice and courting her, not just being a ‘take’ person. She actually needs someone to believe in her so I think she may yet be able to function in this world.”

“Really?” I am surprised she’s telling me this. It’s also amazing Fox isn’t jealous.

“I want you to keep trying to help her. I think that she may be able to leave the box soon,” Fox said.

But then Fox’s cunning eyes narrowed. “I do see the flowers hiding behind your back, by the way.”

Wow, she’s good.

The dwarves call it nightweed and consider it a weed. But it does have pretty blooming flowers. It’s overall harmless and when I had asked the dwarves about it, they said it wasn’t harmful to humans. I had picked it up in the time period before the goblins hit the small dwarven keep and put it in the demon spatial inventory box’s inventory area, which seems to keep it preserved somewhat. I was trying to give it to the girl’s at odd intervals as a sort of nice gesture.

It’s an interesting almost black flower with a white starry interior but shaped kind of like a daisy. It also only grows in dark places, which is why I was able to find it.

I’m stunned taking it in as she says it openly. Although she said sincerely and carefully she’s leaned back against the wall posts casually with her hands behind her head with fingers interlocked and one foot against the wall with her knee bent while looking at the ceiling. She’s calculating something in her head.

“Wow, I don’t know about that. She’s pretty jaded,” I started to say but she’s already shaking her head.

“She is recovering. And she’s recovered already enough to boldly protect you,” she said.

“So what? To what end? Are you suggesting something else?” I countered.

“Yes. I want you to try bringing Sunghee outside the box soon,” Fox said.

“Wow. That’s bold. She’s scared of leaving the box. I’m worried what might happen,” I reminded her, with one eyebrow raised.

She nodded, “I’m aware of that. But I think it’s what she needs. Just do it for only short periods of time at first and for emergency fights only or stay close to her always. By now she’s had time to recover so it should be fine.”

“You’re sure about that? Is that your logic speaking or your heart?” I wondered if there’s a flaw in her reasoning.

“I thought about it from both ends,” she winks at me. “By the way where’s mine?”

“Eh? You want one too?” I am wide open in the mouth.

“Of course. But you still can’t touch me OK?” she winked playfully at me. She’s even giving me a sexy playful look if you can consider it like that. But as always I can see she’s guarded. She’s the responsible one here, trying to make sure I stay safe for the others, so of course she would flirt with me in sexy ways but still hold back a lot.

“Here, I have one for both of you,” I said. That was partly true. I had one for both of them, but I never actually believed that Fox would accept it yet. She’s giving me a really happy contented look.

I coughed nervously, unsure how to proceed. Just because I have a few cool moves and have been built up with magic and pheromones doesn’t mean I’m totally confident yet. Fox is…very intimidating. She’s kind, but very intimidating as far as dating or trying to woo her is concerned.

I need to be careful with that foxkin girl. She’s too smart.

“Well aren’t you going to put it on me?” she asked, with her eyes sparkling.

“Well, uh…is that OK?” I asked.

She nodded crisply. “Please do.”

I moved to put it behind her ear like a human would but actually I just realized that wouldn’t work because she has foxkin ears, which stand straight up sharply and almost tall on her head. She’s still patient while I try to figure out where to put it…

She closes her eyes, which only seems to draw out how shiny and pretty her skin is. I’d noticed it before but Foxkin skin has an almost perfect look and feel, like it’s almost satiny in appearance. But maybe that’s because of the atmosphere of this paradise world actually.

There’s only one place that will work.

I place the stem of the flower gently in her cleavage between her boobs where her shirt is still somewhat modest but with the top two buttons undone.

“Haha,” she laughs girlishly spinning around in excitement and blushing. But in about five seconds the look is gone, after she gives me a peck on the check.

Suddenly she is back in tough, standoff mode. “OK, now let’s get down to business. No more playing OK?”

“Got it.”

She pulls me by the hand, and we are in the orc training a few minutes later.

Sunghee is also waiting there. And again gives me a huge bear crushing hug, after I give her the nightweed flower. Fox was hiding or gone while I gave it to her, but interrupted us from progressing beyond kissing while it was still possible.

“So we need to have another meeting,” Fox said, like she was in charge.

“OK, what’s up?” Sunghee chirped.

“It seems that Shun, got another blue screen,” Fox said, as if she’s displeased with me.

Yep, she’s definitely a bit jealous.

“What?! How did you get another one so fast?!” Sunghee is floored.

“That’s great! We need to celebrate! Let’s have our own little party!” she gets overly excited however, and jumps onto me clamping her legs around my lower back and hips forcing herself onto me. I guess the pheromones make them want to cling to me. Because of it she’s pushing her hips against my groin and because of how warm and sexy she is, I’m suddenly trying to control myself. Then I feel her lips latched onto mine and clamping down into a big French kiss.

Overall, it feels really warm and heavenly.

“Hey, that’s enough you two kids,” Fox is fuming. I can hear her steps crossing the room to break it up, as if it’s a fight.

She tears Sunghee off me just in time, making Sunghee yelp. Sunghee was already trying to tear her shirt off.

“Wow.” I accidentally said it aloud.

She’s pulling Sunghee away from me from behind still and had to add some strength when Sunghee didn’t want to let go and looks dismayed. I’d forgotten that Fox is pretty strong, even for her kind. Because of it, she’s able to pull back Sunghee from behind by holding both arms behind her, in a position and gait somewhat as if Sunghee were behind handcuffed. While doing so, Sunghee is still trying to move towards me.

“Shun, she’s…strong…” Fox said with wide open eyes.

“Is it because she’s been in this world so long?” I wondered.

“Probably. Your pheromones make us crazy,” Fox said but didn’t want to admit.

Sunghee doesn’t say anything but she does want to hug me. But her shirt is hanging open now all the way showing off the goods. Somehow in just a few seconds she’d gotten the buttons open and ripped off from pulling her school uniform blouse open through brute force. We don’t see her nipples yet, but that’s about the only thing that is still hidden as there’s a lot of exposed boob and aureola open in front of me.

It takes us a few minutes to calm her down.

A half hour later…

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it won’t happen again!” Sunghee said in anguish. While she’s saying it, she keeps hurriedly bowing and bobbing her head and upper body. Because of it, it’s almost more damage than before while her boobs are shaking and bouncing up and down. When they fly up I catch glimpses of her nipples hanging out.

Wow, being a sex demon or sex demon hybrid is like wayyyy fun!!

Fox and I are pretending to be upset. Fox might actually be upset, but I’m just trying to keep control of myself and I think she is too. I’m worried we won’t get any training done if I don’t get her to be somewhat close to normal. I’m also trying to breathe and count sheep in my head to keep my cool. It’s…very hard and I can feel my heart going crazy.

“So let’s get back to business. I need your help Sunghee,” I said.

“Oh Shun…anything for you …lover,” she winked boldly. The fact that she’s not bothering to try to re-button up her shirt and that its hanging open is making it much more exciting.

“OK, well Shun had a blue screen recently. It was in a battle while he was awake so we need to know what’s up,” Fox said quickly while snapping her fingers to get her focused.

“OK, let’s check it,” Sunghee responded lightning fast. She’s now in business mode too.

I pull up the status and skills screen, hanging it in the air like it always does.

“Oh wow, there’s even a milk production stat on your familiar!” Sunghee chuckled. “That’s soo…hot!”

“No way!” I exclaimed. “Where does it say that again?”

I bent in close.

“Right here,” Sunghee pointed over at a certain icon, which I was highly interested in.

“FOCUS!” Fox roared angrily.

“I want one too!” Sunghee said with a protesting like tone of voice.

“I’m not sure how it works,” I said blushing.

They both looked downcast.

Sunghee’s fingers are going over the data, while I wish she’d let us know what the milk production stat was at. It’s made me curious…

“Oh, here it is,” Sunghee says to me, grabbing my shoulder. “Here.”

She’s going down the skill list, “there, see that icon. It wasn’t there last time we went over the screen.”

“Eh? Please elaborate,” Fox pleaded. She’s facing us in a short miniskirt and school uniform blouse. She’s changed her clothes illusion again and didn’t have this the last few times I’d been here. She sits carefully, with her legs crossed and pointed directly at me. It’s hard to control demon DNA. Unconsciously I’m noticing again, how awesomely athletic and slim Fox’s legs are. While facing me the mini-skirt is hiking up a bit. If it hikes up anymore I’d have a glimpse underneath.

Gulp.

“Shun? What do you think?” Fox asked.

“Huh? About what again?” I said, not realizing they’d asked me something.

“Nevermind, forget it,” Fox noticed I had gotten distracted. “Jeez you two are like kids.” She is shaking her head.

“Well…kids having fun maybe,” I admitted sheepishly.

Both of them giggled.

“But it’s not his fault, being a sex demon makes him suffer so much,” Sunghee said it like I was really suffering. She’s really upset like I had really been tortured or injured and has put her arm around my shoulders. Because her shirt is open that shows off a lot of good things I can’t keep my eyes off.

“Stop it!” Fox fumed. “Read the damn status window! Jeez you guys get so distracted. Now!”

“Jeez, you are such a party pooper,” Sunghee frowned at her, brushing some loose hair back behind her right ear.

“Read it.”

“So, uh, it says that…Oh it’s a mana conservation skill,” Sunghee is smiling broadly.

“Wow.” Both Fox and I said it at once.

“Yeah, 10% mana conservation on everything! Hmm, I’m not sure if it’s upgradable or not. It applies to all skills using mana, but there isn’t much of a description,” she said.

10% mana conservation!

Amazing!

Fox is looking at me with extreme jealousy again, “dammit Shun! Why do you get all the good stuff?” her eyes are also wide like when one kid is staring down another kid when they are picking a fight. But after that she relaxes.

She puffs out her chest a bit and is now looking calmly and almost aristrocratic or putting on an air of someone very calculating. “Still it does show you are a winning horse to bet on like I suspected. Hmm.” She looks pleased now.

“Uh, oh she’s going to do something Shun,” Sunghee said.

“What? What’s going on? Don’t do anything rash,” I said to Fox.

Fox grabbed us by the wrists each, and we feel the feeling of a gravity well vertigo again. In a matter of a couple of seconds we’re pulled through and we’re now in the fancy tatami room that makes up Fox’s booby trapped bedroom.

“Oh wow, it’s beautiful!” Sunghee cried out happily, bouncing on her feet while clapping her hands together.

“Of course it is. It’s my room,” Fox said with a smirk.

“So you brought us here to have a honeymoon?” Sunghee asked innocently.

Fox slaps her hand to her head. “Not exactly. I want to show you something.” She licked her lips. “I wasn’t sure when would be the right time to show you this. But I think you might be ready.”

Hmm.

That last part of what she said has hit me with extreme curiosity.

“Somehow that doesn’t make me feel better,” I said. If I’m guessing anything, Fox is usually thinking about something to confront.

“Well, what are you going to show us?” Sunghee is very curious.

“Closer to the bed…I have something to show you both,” Fox said. She makes a move towards the bed, but is held back by Fox. First it takes about ten minutes for her to disarm all the traps. There were more there now, since I’d found the last set the last time I’d been here.

Does it mean she was preparing for me to lose control?

Or, is it something else?

Hmm…

Finally we’re able to move towards the bed.

Sunghee turns toward me giving me a funny look. “This…is…exciting Shun…” she is giving me look of pure bliss. She is probably thinking about a certain activity…

Sunghee ends up going down on all four while moving towards the bed. She gets on it, and is pawing at it while testing the bounce of its fluffiness. “Wow, this is so soft!” she says while looking at it. Both Fox and I can see her boobs hanging down from this vantage point, which also shake while she bounces.

“Are you going to put those away?” Fox asked.

“Huh?” Sunghee gives us a weird look.

“She’s too far gone to do anything. Seriously? Your pheromones are like crazy strong,” Fox muttered.

I snickered.

Good…

And Fox doesn’t realize even while trying to be conservative, my pheromones have already disabled a percentage of her sense of modesty! Other wise she’d never tolerate Sunghee’s boobs hanging out in the open.

“I’m not here to show you the bed,” Fox complained roughly, forcing Sunghee to get back up. Sunghee is acting a bit tipsy…there’s been too much pheromone stuff going on so I think she’s a bit drunk.

“Help me lift this,” she said to me.

To my surprise we ended up moving the mattress.

Inside it there’s a hole going downwards into the earth.

“What the hell?” I exclaimed at almost the same time as Sunghee did.

“I know right? It took me months to dig it,” Fox said.

Uh oh. Why would she be digging an escape tunnel unless she’s trying to get away from something? Is she trying to get away from me? Suddenly I’m not sure what’s up with Fox. Until now she’d been really, really interesting.

“But you dug a hole in a pocket realm of the demon box?” I am still trying to wrap my head around it.

“But I thought all the rooms and stuff were like…sealed shut with like stone or unbreakable?” Sunghee is also confused.

“They were. But you remember my type of magic is altering reality kind of stuff or related?” Fox said, helping us understand.

“Yeah but even so, how did you cut through the floor? And is that like … I don’t know some kind of cosmic space or chaos that you’ve tunneled into? We won’t like slip into a black hole if we go in it will we?” Sunghee asked, while gulping and peering into the hole.

“No, you won’t fall or die instantly or anything like that,” Fox said.

“Err…this is weird. So how far does it go? What’s down there?” I asked her. I want to ask her intention for it, but I’m afraid to.

Both Sunghee and I are staring into the hole. Neither of us is daring to speak.

“Shun? What are we doing?” she whispered to me when Fox didn’t appear to be able to hear.

“We’ll see…” I said back.

“You aren’t going to throw us in there are you?” Sunghee dared to ask while I’ve got beads of sweat from stress inside my spirit.

Fox is looking at us strangely while sort of levitating in the air as if she were leaning on her elbow laying on a bed. “Huh? No. That isn’t it, at all.”

“Oh good. I was like worried you were going to do something bad,” I said.

“It is weird having like a whole tunnel system going out under your bed,” Sunghee said biting her lip. She’s trying to peer down there. “It looks so freaking dark down there. I wonder what’s inside.”

And just like that, a slender arm that looks just like Fox’s reaches out and grabs her by the wrist. Before either of us can do anything she’s pulled inside screaming all the way down.

“What the farm is that?” I exclaimed.

“There isn’t supposed to be anything down there! I checked it myself! No! That can’t be! It’s empty! I swear I didn’t do anything bad! Please believe me!” Fox exclaimed, while now crying with real tears pouring down her face.

“Where did Sunghee go?!” I screamed at Fox. “Hurry!”
