"Master-!!" The sudden exclamation from Ena snapped Yuuto out of his daze.
"Fuckin- shit. This recoil... it feels like I got hit by a car." He grimaced from the pain.
He looked behind to see Ena with the door off its hinges, staring at him with a mix of dread and concern. "Are you okay, Master? What was that loud noise?"
As he peeked through the scope, he saw the deer lying lifelessly, with its torso completely blown off.
"Just testing out a new weapon. The servants are probably worried. Can you soothe the servants? Feel free to tell them any reason you can think of." Yuuto replied, trying to brush off the incident casually.
Ena nodded, "Of course, Master. I will take care of it." She turned around and was about to leave when she was interrupted by Yuuto's voice.
"Oh, and tell Eura she doesn't have to wait for me. I'll be out for a week or two."
Ena's eyes widened in surprise. "A week or two, Master? Is everything alright?" she asked with concern.
Yuuto turned away from the scope and faced her. "Yes, everything's fine. I need to test out this new weapon with live targets. Don't worry. I'll be back before you know it." He gave her a reassuring smile before turning back to his weapon.
Ena bowed, still worried, and left the room. As she walked down the hallway towards the servants' quarters, her thoughts were swirling with concern.
She couldn't help but feel uneasy about the situation. Yuuto had always been a kind master, but lately, he had become more complacent and arrogant. Ena had noticed a change in his behavior, and it worried her. She was relieved that he had returned to his old self, but the concern was still there.
When she entered the servants' quarters, she found the other servants gathered around, all of them looking concerned. She took a deep breath and tried her best to put on a calm and reassuring front.
"Everyone, please don't worry. Master Yuuto is just testing out a new weapon. He accidentally caused a loud noise, but he's fine, and he'll be back soon. Please continue with your duties as usual," she said, trying to sound as convincing as possible.
The other servants looked at her skeptically, but Ena's authoritative tone seemed to calm them down.
As Ena went to her own room, she couldn't help but wonder what kind of weapon Yuuto was testing that required him to be away for a week or two.
She plopped to her bed, her mind racing with endless possibilities.
She looked over to see Ruvia's stash of used unwashed clothes that he had stolen from Yuuto. She had forgotten about it until now.
Ena slowly walked towards the pile and started to pick up each piece of clothing one by one.
She couldn't help but notice the strong smell of sweat emanating from them. As she picked up a shirt, she noticed a small tear near the collar. Curiosity getting the better of her, she put the shirt to her nose and inhaled deeply. The scent of Yuuto's sweat was intoxicating.
Ena felt her body heat up as she fantasized about Yuuto, his bare chest radiating with sweat. She wanted to moan out loud but managed to restrain herself.
She moved onto a shirt and buried her face in it, inhaling its scent deeply. Her fingers quivered as she picked up a pair of pants, rubbing them against her cheek while her heart raced.
Mustering all her strength, Ena discarded her maid's uniform and laid down on the bed nude. She imagined Yuuto pulling her close and ravishing her in the most passionate way. His strong hands gripped her ass as he drove into her forcefully.
Ena ran her fingers over her breasts delicately and then down to the moistness between her legs. She began stimulating herself by massaging her clit. The sensations coursing through her body brought forth an audible moan from deep within her throat.
"Master... I can't do this…!" Ena murmured, trying desperately to resist as if wanting him to take control of her body. "I'm your in-law yet..." Her moans grew louder as his tender touch filled every inch of her senses, and she begged for more.
"Ahn ♡♡♡ Master, I'm going to…" Ena's whole body trembled as an intense pleasure swept through it, and wave after wave of bliss came crashing over her until she couldn't take it anymore.
"...even though it's wrong, I can't stop thinking about Master…!" she muttered with an ecstatic expression.
"No," she let out a sigh, "It's master's fault that I'm like this." She smiled, still breathing heavily in a state of euphoria. Her body cooled down, and she slipped into bed.
As her eyes closed from exhaustion, her heart skipped a beat as she remembered what had transpired earlier. Yuuto unknowingly had a little sip of her bodily secretions, dipping his fingers into the puddle of fluid and licking it off his fingertips as if it was a sweet dessert.
Ena's body tingled from the memory as a warm sensation crept over it. She felt her nipples harden, and a heat spread between her legs. She squirmed in embarrassment as she remembered Yuuto's face as he tasted her pleasure, his eyes burning with desire and his lips parted with exhilaration.
Ena's heart pounded harder in her chest as an image of herself and Yuuto entwined in a passionate embrace flashed through her mind. She imagined his hands exploring every inch of her body, caressing and stroking until every cell in her body was trembling with pleasure.
Then, as if by some invisible force, Ena found herself slipping out of bed and tiptoeing back into the living room, where she knelt before Yuuto like a devoted slave awaiting orders. The expression on his face told her that he had been waiting for this moment for so long.
Without saying a word, Yuuto took Ena's hands and guided them toward him, pressing them against the firmness of his arousal beneath his pants. A feeling of blissful anticipation built up within Ena as she felt Yuuto pulsing against her touch.
Suddenly, he pulled away from her grasp and pushed down on the couch cushions, motioning for Ena to join him there. Without hesitation, Ena complied and climbed on top of him, straddling his waist while their mouths met hungrily in an intense kiss that seemed to last forever.
Their tongues intertwined aggressively while their hands explored each other's bodies shamelessly. They lost themselves completely to the passion that engulfed them until they both reached their climaxes almost simultaneously, with loud moans of ecstasy echoing throughout the room.
Afterward, they lay there panting heavily while their arms remained intertwined around each other until sleep finally claimed them both.
Ena snapped out of her fantasy, panting heavily. As she regained her composure, her heart fluttered with warmth, a feeling of immense joy and fulfillment coursing through her body.
"It's all okay, Master," Ena whispered to herself with a trembling voice, "I guess things will just have to stay the same."
With that, she fell asleep with her master's used clothing still clutched tightly in her hand.
Meanwhile, Yuuto was on the town's outskirts. The roar of the truck's engine rang out loudly on the dreary winter afternoon. Both the elves and the villagers watched on from the distance as he loaded more diesel into his truck.
After he was done pouring the fuel into the tank, he sat in the deep snow as he waited for the vehicle to warm up.
"I wonder if I was wrong to take Ena as my slave."
Yuuto, who could not suppress his guilt, ran his sight around the surroundings, "I wonder how long this will go on."
"No... in the long run, it's the right way to go," he sighed.
Yuuto looked around with his eyes and saw his villagers and the elves looking back at him.
He knew that a smile was appropriate, but he did not know how to put one on his face. When his dominant personality traits had swapped out, smiling had become an instinct for him, yet now, he couldn't do it.
His heart told him that he was doing more harm than good and he was hurting people, but his rational mind was telling him to go on. You can't reach a better future with zero sacrifices.
He looked back at the villagers and waved his hand as if to say "thank you" and was met with a few nods and a smile.
Yuuto halfheartedly parted the truck's door and motored off on the icy dirt road.
Scarcely an hour had elapsed since he had left the village. The sun had commenced to dip beneath the country, prompting him to turn on the headlights.
His cogitations grew despondent when he beheld the snow-shrouded wilderness encircling him.
His thoughts were augmented when he discerned something shifting far away in the void.
It was a troupe of individuals on horseback.
Before he could make out any details, the assemblage on horseback shot an arrow on his way without any warning. It had nearly struck the windshield, prompting him to reverse the vehicle.
"Ah, you bastards! Damn it! If this 22k gold sink of a truck gets scratched, I'm going to put lead into each of your empty craniums and affix you in a pike!!"
Cognizant of great frustration, Yuuto kept reversing up until he could discover a chance to change direction.
Before he could, another arrow landed and struck his side mirror. "Fuck-!! Shit! That's it!!"
In a fit of rage, Yuuto opened the vehicle's window and took out his WA-2000 - Shadow Assassin's Blade, with its .50 cal cartridge still embedded inside. The shadowy tendrils emerged from his back, holding the gun and the truck's frame steady.
The aversion in his mind had intensified into a fervent animosity, causing him to forget how sonorous and powerful the .50 cal cartridge was. Without even setting his eye on the scope, he pressed the gun's trigger creating an oppressive bang that reverberated throughout the milky, silent winter nightfall.
Myriads of birds shifted from their nests and ascended into the heavens, startled by the noise.
Subsequently, a shout of pain was heard.
Yuuto, who was peering through the scope, looked at the man who was struck from afar. The man's right leg spun in a clockwise direction and then crashed into the ground with his horse with him.
He felt his ears ringing as more shadowy tendrils emerged from his back, propelling him out of the truck's window as he climbed to its roof.
The group scattered as more volleys of arrows were unleashed.
Yuuto squinted through his scope. Despite the augmented vision granted by All Seeing Eye and the life-sensing capabilities of the Shadow Assassin's Blade, he still had difficulty finding his mark; three shots careened off course into a void beyond their targets.
With each deafening shot, he felt his muscles and bones shudder and break down from the recoil of his rifle.
Come on...! Come on...!
The menacing riders had quickly closed in on his position. They were fast and disciplined, maintaining a precise formation as they advanced. He could even hear their leader loudly bellowing orders at them.
He had run out of options. Attempting to escape the pursuers with his truck in the snow-covered field may prove to be suicidal instead. Although Yuuto was adept in handling the vehicle, he found it arduous to manage it optimally in the powdery terrain.
The only viable option ahead was an unavoidable battle to the death. In that ephemeral moment, as Yuuto weighed the consequences of his choices and determined to give battle for his life, recollections of himself confronting a gang of rapine hoodlums and mafia men raced through his mind. His heart pounded like a muffled cadence in his ears as he felt an inferno ignite within him in spite of the bracing winter air.
He remembered the thrill of danger, the rush of adrenaline as he fought tooth and nail against death. Every moment was a life-or-death struggle, and he embraced it, embracing the challenge of keeping himself alive.
"Fine, then... let's do it... just like the old days."
