This one is supposed to read like a comedy. I really have no mind to finish it as I would just like the standard fan fair. The fuck. A misunderstanding is cleared ie succubus actually only go for unmarried men and are completely loyal but guise their loving intentions as rape as humans dislike them. They live happily ever after.

A knight burst through the doors of the Succubus Queen's royal hall

>Vile temptress! I have come to put an end to your kinds evil ways!

The Queen gives a smug smile to her guest. She knows she is much stronger than this knight and she glows with confidence.

<You have done well to come this far brave knight! My subjects did not slow you down at all!

>Actually there is no one else here. I think they are all out feeding. You should really manage yo- Never mind that! Your kind steal the virtue of men! Have at you!

The Queen was a bit disappointed in her fellow Succubus but there was really no harm done. She could defeat this young knight quite easily but decided to have a bit of fun instead. She knew that knights such as himself were not to have casuals relations with women so she had the mind to toy with him a bit.

<Oh, but sir knight there is no need to shed blood. I shall make you a deal. If you were to ravage me at this very moment, I shall vow to leave this land and never return!

>That is impossible.

<Ha! Just as I thou-

>Not unless you marry me.

<Wh-What!?

Karin hated to admit it, but she was enjoying her new routine in life. At first she felt as though she didn't deserve to be happy, but the day to day had made her forget those thoughts, and focus on what was at hand. She wanted to help him, not because of the idea of a nice garden, but simply because of how busy and content he was with his duties.

As he toiled away, ripping out weeds, cutting grass, digging dirt, pouring new soil, and lift heavy objects, it filled Karin with her own sense of determination. So she would keep him happy, fed, hydrated, and kept company.

She would cook food, bring him water, or chilled tea, and even help him with the task if she felt brave enough. It felt natural to Karin, welcomed even, but there was something that she couldn't shake, something dark.

Time and time again, Karin had caught herself no longer thinking of him as that little boy she had taken care of so long ago. It was silly, because he clearly wasn't that little boy anymore, but the thoughts still struck her with guilt. She caught peaks of him as he worked, admiring his body and muscles. She had to quickly look away or throw herself around a corner, holding her hands to her cheeks, attempting to calm herself down.

He was very much a man now…A very rugged man… Karin quivered and took a deep breath, she had impure thoughts of a man she once called her “Little boy.” though biologically there wasn't much difference between them age wise, he might actually, technically, be older than her now, at least by a few months.

Karin closed her eyes and sat down on the floor, her hands never leaving her cheeks. She loved him before, but now she was…In love with him. She didn't want to admit it, she felt nothing but guilt about it, but it was true. But Karin wouldn't relent, and decided it was simply a side effect, an unwanted outcome of giving up her immortality.

“I'm simply afraid of dying alone…” She told herself in a hushed whisper. “Its just something I have to get over…”

But…What if it wasn't. He was a man now, after all, and there was no real relations between them. He was attached to Karin when he was a child, but that innocent attachment is long gone.

No, she had to prove to herself that it wasn't the case…What…What if she saw him in the nude? She saw him naked all the time when he was a child, but now that he's a grown man, if she can resist then, then she knows she was in the clear.

It was a stupid, obviously flawed plan, but that was all she could thing of…For obvious reasons…

Karin sprang the question after dinner, but she couldn't just demand that he disrobe, so she had a different idea.

>>365518

“You've been working so hard these last few days.” Karin commented as she cleaned the table.

“It's been quite the chore.” You sighed, handing her your plate. “But not an unwelcome one.”

“Your bones must ache. Come, let me draw you a bath.”

“I would like that.” You said, standing up.

“I'll wash your back for you.”

The last comment caused you to pause. You turned back to her. “Wash my back?”

“Well, we wouldn't want you to stretch too much and hurt yourself.” Karin told you. “It is a common gesture here in Zipangu.”

“A common gesture, or a common gesture for mamono?”

Karin smiled and pulled you along. “Don't be such a prude, I've seen you naked plenty.”

“I-I was a child back then!” You protested.

“Do you know how long I've been alive for? You still practically are to me!”

She was right, for the most part. Biologically she was around your age, and would now, you figured, age as you do. But still, how long the fox women, the “Inari” seemed to live, you couldn't even tell just how much longer she has been wandering the Earth than you have.

But still, you were a grown man now… It would be inappropriate. But she insisted…

You sat down on the small stool with your shirt still on, though a towel had been wrapped around your nether. You looked forward with an unamused glare, groaning uncomfortably as you fidget in your little seat.

Karin entered a few moments later, you heard her feet slap against the washroom's ground. You didn't turn around, but your mind raced. Was she nude? The idea made your heart pump faster, but you didn't dare peak. This was Margaret! You respected her too much to ogle her!

-

Karin stood behind him with a towel pressed against her chest, she hid her privates behind it, though she stood naked. Her breaths were heavy and hot, the monstrous part of her brain began to take over and she couldn't fight it. This idea was terrible at first, but she soon began to like it. Soon she could make this man hers.

“Are you ready?” She asked, kneeling behind him.

“Y…Yes.” He responded.

“I can't wash your back with your shirt still on.” Karin commented.

“R-right.”

He took off his shirt, and her excitement sky rocketed. But then…It faded.

Karin's lust burned away from her body, her eyes widened in shock and her mouth turned from a dirty grin to a expression of horror and grief. She looked upon years of battle built up in the form of battle scars. There was so little of unmarked flesh that she had trouble finding any.

Years of mistakes, lapse in judgment, ambushes, inexperience, and just sheer bad luck had taken it's toll in the form of scars. Cuts from swords, punctures from spears, daggers, and arrows. Claw marks, wounds from horns, bites, had somehow made it through his powerful armor and made their claims upon him.

Karin slowly covered her mouth with her hand, her expression turning into one of pure anguish as tears began to flow freely from her eyes. She struggled to not make sounds of remorse and sadness, gritting her fangs, the guilt and regret washing over her.

“…Karin?” He asked, his head turning slightly. “Are you alright?”

Without a word, Karin leaped forward and wrapped her arms around him, crying softly as she hugged him closely. He jumped forward slightly, surprised by her sudden embrace, he noticed the sobbing before he noticed that her naked body was pressed against him.

“K-Karin!?” He asked again. “Whats wrong?”

She didn't answer, all she could do was cry, and hold him close.

>>365519

Rourke looked on in disapproval, his hands at his side as the two Paladin's joined him on the training field.

“You're both late.” He scolded, watching the two slouch towards him.

“Sorry, sir.” Louis apologized. “Things happened.”

“I can say the same…” Wolfgang groaned. “Long night.”

“Long night…?” Rourke asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

He suddenly gave the two a chilling stare, causing them both to lock up.

“Sun be damned, you've gone native.” He accused.

“W-ww-well, I-” Louis started, but was interrupted by Wolfgang.

“I was caught off guard! I've been on this damn island too long!”

“I can't believe it.” Rourke continued to accuse, playing up his disappointment. “I leave you alone for a few days and suddenly you're whoring around like ladies of the night!”

“I wouldn't call it whoring, sir…” Louis protested meekly.

“I have only myself to blame.” Rourke sighed. “I wasn't tough enough on you. But mark my word–”

“Sir Rourke!”

A new voice called his name, and soon the old man froze as well. He turned his head to see Lady Asahi approach him with something square wrapped in a green and black checkered cloth. Her tail wagged as she smiled.

“I wanted to truly thank you for the other day.” She explained. “So I made you lunch.”

“T-thank you…Lady Asahi…” he trembled as he took the box.

He could feel the other two stare at him, stabbing into him with their glares of guilt. But before the conversation could continue, and much to Rourke's relief, guards and soldiers rushed to Rourke and began to shout.

“Slow down!” He says in Zipangu. “I'm not that good at the language yet.”

“The hunting party is back!” The guard exclaims.

The road leading into the city was alight with cheering and celebration. The war was now, officially, over, and the Samurai and others that traveled through the land to hunt down their enemy had returned, mostly unscathed.

Those who returned waved to the crowed, or boasted their own successes. The ones in the back were…Less cheery. They hurried, almost embarrassed, away from the last in the line. A human man clad in onyx plated armor, his visor and helmet peeled back to reveal his face covered in dirt and grime. The chest plate of his armor was splattered with a terrifying crimson, and the street scratched and clattered behind him, made by the skulls that were tied together by a rope and dragged behind him.

>>365520

“Levitz…” Rourke spoke up.

The crusading Paladin halted and turned to his commanding officer. “Brother-Captain.”

“What the hell is this?” He asked, nodded to the display.

Levitz raised the rope he was carrying and examined the skulls of his kills. “I plan to burn them. So Vladimir has something to present to the others in heaven.”

“You may want to put them away.” Rourke suggested. “People are staring.”

Levitz looked around and noticed some worrying glances. “Oh.”

He shoved them into his pack and stood back up, examining the others, Levitz cocked his head.

“Did he…?”

“He's fine.” Rourke confirmed. “He's recovering at Lady Karin's estate. They seem to have a history together.”

“I see.” Levitz nodded before noticing something else is amiss. “Where's Gerald?”

The other three stopped and looked at one another, in all the hubbub they hadn't noticed that Gerald never showed his face.

“Its not like him to be late…” Wolfgang commented. “Something is wrong.”

“I mean, I wasn't really looking for him.” Louis admitted. “But I haven't seen him in a few days now.”

“Hm…” Rourke rubbed the grays of his chin and narrowed his eyes. “I agree with Wolfgang, something isn't right.”

He had an idea, and turned to Lady Asahi, who was standing off to the side from the conversation.

“Lady Asahi, might I make a request?”

“Oh?” Asahi's ears perked. “How may I be of assistance, sir Rourke?”

“A woman of your attributes wouldn't happen to be good at…Tracking, would she?”

-

Take no chances, underestimate no one, its what kept Paladins like Rourke alive for so long. The four of them were in their armor, carrying both blade and gun. He had to confirm twice to make sure Asahi was correct, but they did manage to track Rourke to one particular building. It was out of the way, barely noticeable if you weren't looking for it. A house crushed between two other buildings.

They stacked up on the front door, opening it slightly and peeking inside. No signs of life, they moved in guns forward. Cautious, not wanting to hit Gerald, they moved through the building, clearing out room after room on the first level before returning to the stairs in the main hall. There was a single sliding door at the end of the stairs, and the four wasted no time approaching and stacking up, two on each side of the door, and preparing to enter.

“Lights on.” Levitz commented through his helmet. “Someone's home.”

“Or someone's careless.” Wolfgang added.

“Either way.” Rourke chimed. “Hold your fire unless you have a confirmed hostile. We don't need an incident.”

“On my mark…” Rourke continued.

With a nod to his companion, Rourke moved to the front of the door and kicked it in, sending it sliding across the wooden floor. The four entered the room and did a sweep with the barrel of their guns. It was a bed room, and they didn't even notice the lumps atop the king-sized bed.

There lied Gerald, completely naked with only a sheet to cover his privates. He rested in the center of the bed, drinking from a bottle of sake. To his left was a woman with long, ink black hair, peacefully sleeping while clinging to Gerald's other arm. To his right was a much taller woman with red skin and two pointed horns and platinum blond hair, she was cuddling up to him with her arms wrapped around his waist.

And finally, sleeping between Gerald's legs was a woman with scarlet hair and the lower half of a spider, not awakening even with all the ruckus.

Gerald took his lips away from the bottle and looked at the four, a groan of discomfort leaving Wolfgang's lips as he lowered his weapon and shook his head. Gerald smiled and raised his bottle.

“Afternoon, gents.” He greeted them. “Care for a drink?”

Your entire story was shit, guy from nearly a year ago. I hope you've already killed yourself in the months since you posted this steaming pile.

Sorry for the long-ass wait.

The story should be finished by the next update, which should be anywhere from now to the end of time.

but no, expect it soon.

okay

>>365521

You hadn't seen a day this gray since the battle. The sun hid behind the blanketing clouds, and wind howled a deathly chill. The interior of the home was dark, but not dark enough to be blinding. You hadn't seen Karin all day, and you began to worry.

At first, you wanted to give her space, but something inside you demanded that you confront her.

Standing in front of her room, you slid the door open slowly. You stepped inside and turned to your right towards her bed. There she was, sitting at the side of her bed with her face buried in her hands, her tail lifeless against the mattress. Without an effort to conceal your presence, you approached and stood at the other end of her bed.

“I couldn't do it anymore…” Karin admitted, taking her hands away from her face. “I wanted to return to you when you were older, I wanted more than anything to keep my promise… But when I was called back to serve the court, I knew it would never happen… I couldn't bear, I couldn't go on an eternity knowing how I betrayed you…”

You didn't say a word, Karin took a deep breath and wiped her tears away from her cheeks.

“When you approached me after your arrival here…When I saw all those horrible scars on your back… I felt my heart shatter… Its all too much.”

“Karin…” You finally spoke up. “If you stayed with me at the manor. If you didn't leave… What do you think would have happened to me?”

She didn't answer.

“Do you think I would have hid away and prayed the beasts would never find me again? Was I to stay at home like some privileged noble while my countrymen fought and died across dozens of battlefields?”

“You were just a child…” She whispered.

“I haven't been a child since I was eight years old.” You told her bluntly. “When father and mother died trying to fend off the beasts. That was when I lost my innocence, when I saw what the world really was.”

With determination, you continued.

“Even if you stayed I would have went, if not just to keep those wretches away from you. You were all I had left of my old life. When I joined the army, I was under the assumption that you were still somewhere on the continent. Every battle, every beast I killed, every time we pushed them back, I thought that they would be further away from you.

When I joined the order, when I received my blade, and finally my rifle and armor, I began fighting in a completely different war. We attacked first, struck them where it hurt the most, surgical strikes in the heart of the horde. I killed leaders, I killed beasts so low on their hierarchy that they were mere slaves, just because they were beasts. I even ripped the life away from their children.”

Karin slowly turned around to look upon you.

“Because I believed, every life I took, every ounce of blood I spilled, there was a greater chance that you would be safe. Every God damned time we entered one of their miserable hovels, I prayed to God or anyone that would listen that I would not find you among the women we dragged from those pits… Blame yourself all you want, but it doesn't change anything, I was going down this path one way or another.”

Karin said nothing, her eyes trailed downwards, unable to make contact with yours.

“You need to stop blaming yourself.” You begged. “You already gave up your immortality. Isn't that enough?”

She remained silent, turning away from you and looking forward once again. You could only sigh and turn away, leaving her to herself, you hoped that your words had done something, you weren't the most sensitive person on the planet, maybe you were too harsh. But it was something you wanted to say, something you had to say.

>>370880

Afterwards, you returned to your work in the yard, it was almost completed, only a few more chores to be done before it could be kept with proper maintenance. Most of the pain in your body had subsided, though a few bones still ached from time to time, it was nothing serious, however. You worked for another hour before you heard the back door slide open.

Turning, you saw Karin standing meekly at the door, she put on her slippers and approached you, hands at her sides.

“There…Is a festival being held in a few days…” Karin explained.

She fidgeted, slowly wringing her hands together. “Would…You like to go with me?”

You stood silent for a moment, before giving her an agreeable smile. “Of course.”

“And so the children lifted themselves from despair and began the long journey to rebuild what they had lost. And God Rejoiced.”

-Extermination 1.9, Book of the Unconquered Sun

The celebration began at noon, though you didn't arrive until the twilight evening. There was a parade in honor of the Empress herself, as well as a showing of her honor guard and other fanciful showmen. The festival itself was filled with performers, games, and stands that sold anything from food to nick nacks from you to take home.

The children chased each other through the crowds or played off in the field with one another, human and mamono alike. Salesmen yelled loudly through the crowed to gain attention while others showed their art to gain attention and profit.

Everyone attended the festival, as a show of respect mostly. Though most Paladins decided against the traditional robe of the Zipangu people, though to various excuses.

Rourke said he was allergic to the material, Levitz commented his was too large for him, Louis was too small, and Wolfgang said he was still technically on duty. In truth, most Paladins didn't enjoy the feel of loose fitting clothing, and would much rather wear the clothes they are accustomed to.

Gerald was okay with it, however, marching down the road like a triumphant conqueror with a woman hugging to each arm.

You made a compromise with Karin, and took the robe she offered you, a blue and white striped “Yukata” she told you it was called. You wore it, but chose to wear your usual clothing underneath it, it may be a little stuffy, especially during a summer night, but you tolerated it.

You met with the others, catching up on what you had missed. Gerald's situation was obvious, Louis tried to speak before being dragged away by the lady Yono, who scolded him on not wearing the yukata she had picked out for him.

She was much more elegant and lady like in her dress, though the fact flustered her when Louis brought it forward.

Wolfgang was rather open about his relationship with the Lady Asako, though his brain must not have processed that he was currently with someone that wasn't human. This should all have been foreign to the Paladins, relationships are not uncommon in the order, especially for married men who join late, but something like this is unheard of. Even Rourke seemed to be having a conversation with a lady off to the side.

“Compromised.” You could hear the words of the old Brother Tiber in your head, followed by his usual quotations from the book.

“Hey, hey.” Karin tugged on your sleeve. “Are we just going to stand here all day?”

She pulled you along, leaving Levitz to his fate as he was accosted by a large tiger woman before he could speak to you. In a situation like this, you really had no agency of your own, so you went about simply following Karin's lead, and going where she wanted to go.

>>370881

You strolled past toys, good luck charms, wooden weapons, and even a few stands selling instruments. But what really caught your eye, and appetite, was the food. You suddenly took charge and led Karin along from stand to stand, though she didn't seem to mind. After paying with the money you had gathered, Karin and you found a place to sit down to taste your loot. Most of the food was on some kind of stick, but you also managed to pick out a box of flavored rice as well as grilled fish and octopus.

Karin made the first move, and reached for a stick poked through four round snacks. She put the first one in her mouth and chewed, instantly making a face and placing her hand on her cheek.

“Is something wrong?” You asked.

“I didn't expect it to be so spicy…” She complained before offering you a ball as well. “Say 'aah'.”

You look at the treat and bite it off the stick, chewing on it and testing her claim. It was… Very good, a wheat based batter mixed with what tasted like fish and covered with a sauce you weren't familiar with. You swallowed it and shrugged.

“Tastes good.”

Karin looked at with an disappointed expression. “You're no fun.”

“What do you mean?” You asked.

“That was really spicy!” she complained. “You're faking it, you're just trying to look tough!”

“I-I eat a lot of spicy food!” You protest.

“I'm sure you do, liar.” She huffed.

You narrowed your eyes, in defiance, you grabbed her wrist and ate the other two balls one after another. Karin's tail stood on end and she tried to pull the stick from your mouth.

“Aaah! Don't eat them all!”

You leaned back, pulling the stick from your mouth and chewing. You pause, the sudden rush of heat flowing over you, that maybe wasn't a good idea. Still, you persist, and swallow the food once you've chewed enough to prove your point.

“I still wanted one…” Karin pouted.

“Mine now…” You managed to cough up from between choking on the heat and the food.

Karin could only feign her anger until you were done eating and you returned to the festival. She began to pull you along, bringing you to whatever caught her eye. The first was a play being done by two people wearing masks, you were informed that it was called “Kabuki”.

You didn't understand it, but the children seemed to like it.

Afterwards, you played a few games, especially the one where you had to knock down bottles with a ball. It felt like the game was challenging you… You didn't take down the bottles the first time, but you were sure you hit it dead on. The second throw was much harder, and the bottles came crashing down with a shatter. The gamekeeper, though reluctantly, handed you the prize. A teddy bear from a “far off land.”

“Oh, he's cute.” Karin teased as the two of you walked away from the stand.

“Yeah, but I don't think he'll make the team.” You added, handing it to her. “He's all yours.”

“My, aren't you a gentlemen.” She commented with a smile, taking it from you. “I think I have a nice place for him in my room.”

You stopped a few more times before the roads suddenly became busier. People were shouting and pointing up the hill and began to gather around there.

“Oh!” Karin gasped, tugging on your sleeve. “The fireworks are starting!”

You followed her to the top of the hill, trying to get the best view before it started. You were curious, only familiar with fireworks in use for war, as distractions or to just disrupt formations and movements. The first one caught you off guard, an explosion of multiple colors. The second exploded into the shape of a Zipangu letter you didn't recognize, followed by four more, each one a different color of the rainbow.

>>370882

You turned away to see Karin's reaction, but…Something caught your eye. You watched her instead, the smile on her face, the way the lights brightened her features, the reflection from her eyes. You could feel your heart rate increase. You didn't even notice your own smile.

-

The night dragged on, and eventually the two of you returned to Karin's home. Karin and you talked about the event even as you got home, following Karin to her bedroom while she looked for a place to put your prize.

“There.” Karin suggested, pointed at the top of her closet. “How about there?”

Karin stepped on the tips of her toes attempting to reach the top of her closet, but unfortunately was too short to reach. She reacted before you could swoop in to help and reached for a stool she had on the corner near her rather western desk. Finally, she placed the bear on the top of her closet, sitting against the back wall.

But as she stepped down, the stool slipped from under her, Karin gasped in surprise, tumbling from the stool. Luckily, you were there, and you quickly sprang forward, catching her in your arms before she hit the ground. She sighed in relief and regained her footing, putting her hands against your arms to balance herself properly.

“Thank you…” She sighed. “That would have been embarrassing.”

You laughed and straightened her out, but you didn't let go, something told you not to. Karin looked up and your eyes met, frozen in the arms of one another. You felt your fingers grip against her shoulders, your heart racing faster and faster. Karin followed suit, her breathing becoming deeper with each passing moment.

Slowly, the two of you closed the distance between one another, your ears darting in contemplation, like the two of you were performing an experiment that could go wrong at any moment. Still you persisted against the mess of thoughts in your mind. Both Karin and you stopped as your lips almost touched, neither of you were breathing, struggling with yourselves if this is what you really wanted.

But, in the end, you were the first one to make the commitment. Fighting through the hesitation, you planted your lips firmly on Karin's. She inhaled sharply in surprise, but didn't pull away, her grip on your arms loosened and soon accepted your embrace, wrapping your arms around her.

Her lips were warm, pleasant, and inviting, Karin opened her eyes when you pulled away, looking back into yours. Without a word, she reached and wrapped her arms around your neck, answering your kiss with a kiss of her own. At that moment, any kind of apprehension was gone, and the feelings the two of you had for one another changed completely. If this was somehow wrong, you no longer gave a damn.

The two of you only pulled away to catch a breath, Karin slowly lead you towards her bed. She pulled away the sash that held her kimono together as you parted the cloth from her shoulders. With one final kiss, she managed to pull away from you, her face scarlet and her hands gripping the chest of her clothing. A deep breath, and she dropped her robes to the floor, exposing herself to you.

You weren't naive, this wasn't the first time you've seen a woman naked, especially wit the sorts that would throw themselves at a crusading Paladin. But you had always been stronger than the desires, this however, was very different.

“W-…Well?” Karin asked, rubbing her arm. “Are you just going to stand there staring?”

“You're very beautiful.” You caught yourself saying.

Karin smiled and averted her eyes. “Stop that…You're embarrassing me.”

You pressed your hands against her shoulders and pushed her on to the bed. She looked up at you with a gulp and placed her hands on your chest. You leaned in and gently kissed her neck, Karin arched against it and bit her lower lip, you could hear her tail bat against the bed frame excitingly, which was the only go ahead you really needed.

Without slowing your kisses, you felt her body with your right hand, trailing up her flat stomach. She yelped in surprise when your fingers pressed against her rips, but she welcomed you with a slow coo when your hand found it's mark, gently squeezing her breast. She welcomed you, wrapping her arms around your neck once more and pulling you close, her soft breaths brushing against your ear.

You squeezed her gently and lovingly, gently pinching her nipple before reluctantly pulling your hand away. It trailed her body again and found it's way between her legs. Karin gasped again, but did little to stop you, she tightened her grip as your fingers began to rub her, and her legs raised and squeezed on your wrist.

>>370883

You finally entered her with two fingers, Karin yelped again into your ear and her grip tightened around you. Moving slowly, you pushed your fingers inside her, causing her to spasm and fidget, she repeated your name into your ear over and over until she pushed you away from her neck and pressed her lips against yours again.

Karin's tongue explored your mouth and danced with yours, she pressed her body tightly against you and moaned deeply into your mouth. You pulled your hand away from between her legs, soaked in her juices before Karin began to undress you in kind with little resistance. Afterwards, Karin leaned back and looked to you with longing eyes.

You led her on her back again, with no contemplation or hesitation, you put yourself between her legs and gently guided yourself into her. Karin made a pleasant gasp, arching her back while you slid inside her. She smiled as you hilted and raised her arms, offering you an embrace. You accepted and let her hold you close as you began to slowly thrust.

Karin wrapped her legs around your waist and gently pressed her lips against the side of your neck. Her fingers pressed firmly against the muscles on your back, sliding across your skin with every thrust.

You took in every detail. The sparkle of her eyes, the softness of her skin on your fingers, the way her insides hugged your rod, the sensation of her lips against your neck. Karin yelped in surprise as you pulled her from her back, hoisting her up to ride you, you held her close and brushed your hand down her spine, brushing her tail from in between your fingers.

Karin smiled and hugged you closer, putting your lips against your shoulder, her moans filling your ears. You loved that, you loved the sound she made, you loved how beautiful she was, you loved her laugh, and her smile, and how she wants to take care of you. Your love for her changed, she wasn't your childhood caretaker any longer, but someone you wanted to spend your life with.

When Karin raised her lips from your shoulder, you kissed her again, holding it as you moved your hips. She returned your kiss and tightened her legs around your waist. Your head became lighter, and you could feel the pressure erupting in your loins.

Karin froze, her tail standing on end and her ears twitching as you released inside her. She released her lips from yours and gasped deeply. You felt her nails drag across the skin on your back, and her legs grip into a vice. Her grip loosened after your last pump, finally releasing her breath and placing her hands on your shoulders.

You looked into one another's eyes, Karin was the first to laugh and press her forehead against yours.

“I love you…” She whispered.

“I love you too.” You responded with a smile.

Karin hugged you and then pulled you into the bed. The two of you shared another kiss before Karin sat up and blew out the candles before lying back down against your chest.

You woke up sometime during the night, your eyes had adjusted to the dark, vague shadows of the room stood around you.

“Are you awake?” Karin whispered.

“Yeah…” You whispered back.

Karin remained silent for a moment, you almost fell back asleep.

“You know…” She suddenly started. “I was worried at first.”

“About what?” You asked.

“About…This. About this kind of relationship with you… At first I felt guilty, when I finally stopped seeing you as that little boy so long ago… I felt that my love was misplaced, but…” You felt the hot breath of Karin's sigh against your chest. “I was ready to spend the rest of my life alone, I had no idea I would ever see you again.”

You rubbed her shoulder with the hand you had wrapped around her.

“I'm glad…” She admitted. “I'm glad this happened.”

“I am too…” You told her simply.

You felt Karin's arm shift on your chest. You met her halfway with your left hand and allowed her fingers to intertwine with yours before you fell back asleep.

“You're not coming with us?” Rourke asked.

You shook your head.

“Its that Karin lady, isn't it?” Wolfgang asked from the ship's railing.

“She's family, believe it or not.” You told him. “

Wolfgang shrugged. “Can't really argue with that.”

Louis was off to the side, consoling the Lady Yono.

“They're a couple?” You asked.

“Seems so.” Rourke sighed. “But Louis has Errants unfinished. Lover or not, his duty to the Order comes first.”

She seemed rather upset by the news, not angry like her usual emotion, just…Sad. Louis cupped her cheeks and gently kissed her on the forehead before approaching you.

“Heard you're not coming with us.” Louis remarked.

You shook your head.

“Well, that's fine…” He sighed.

A moment later, Louis picked you up in an embrace that you believed would break you. He held it for a few moments before letting you back down.

“You're not staying?” You asked after catching your breath.

“Not right now, no.” He said sadly. “Duty is duty, afterall.”

Louis boarded the ship, and soon after you felt a hand on your shoulder. Geralt walked past you and climbed into the ship as well.

“It was fun.” Geralt noted. “But the enemy won't kill themselves.”

You looked up at the ship, Levitz said his farewells with a small nod.

“Well.” Rourke breathed in through his teeth. “I guess this is it, for now.”

You reach to your side and drew your sword, attempting to hand it Rourke. He refuses with a simple hand gesture.

“Keep it.” He tells you. “You're still one of us, though it makes sense to leave a Paladin behind to make sure we didn't miss any of the Beasts.”

You smile and nod, sheathing the blade.

“Unfortunately, your rifle and armor are in dire need of repair. The holy-men are going to tear my ears off with their complaints.”

The two of you laughed, Rourke looked at you and balled his hand into a fist, pushing it against your jaw. He turned and joined the others on the ship, looking back to you one last time.

“Go with god, friend.”

You said your goodbyes, and watched as the ship began its voyage home, not turning your back to them until they were but a speck in the horizon of shimmering blue. With your blade at your side, you headed home.

Karin waited for you there, greeting you as you entered with a kiss on the lips. You didn't know how you would deal with this kind of life, but you would at least try…

>>370885

“Blessed be he who wields the sacred relic, for all god loving men will follow him into battle. For war is eternal, and only he will keep the darkness at bay…”

-Lautican 4.01, Book of the Unconquered Sun

Ten years had passed since that day, and you lived a different kind of life now. It didn't take long for you to acclimate to this new life style, though the city life was not really your thing. Soon, Karin and you sold the manor, and moved to a humble estate in the countryside. You missed your brothers dearly, but you also enjoyed this new, peaceful life. Though it was not as if you never saw them again.

Louis was the first to visit, around a year after his departure, the two of you spoke at lengths as to what has happened over the last year. He had come to pick up the Lady Yono, asking her to come with him on his new journeys. She happily agreed and the two soon became known as a powerful battle duo in many lands.

Wolfgang came two weeks after Louis. The two of you chatted for some time, but he soon had to leave towards the mainland to the west. Then came Levitz, who only stayed a short while, he also came to visit a Jinko you had not met, but he was gone soon as well.

Gerald visited soon after, though you didn't see much of him, predisposed with a few women you had been warned about. When you finally met him he had a new scar on his mouth, something he had attained in Braska some time ago. The two of you had visited the cremation sight of Vladimir before Gerald also went off to the west.

And finally Rourke, though age was catching up to him. He was leaving to the lands of Ellada at the request of Paladin-Lord Diomedes, who ruled over the Mediterranean nation. After almost a day of talking, Rourke continued his journey to the western coast of Zipangu… And that would be the last you would ever see of your mentor…

You had built a life for yourself, one to be proud of at that. Your lands were fertile and grew vegetables in abundance. And the livestock was fat and happy, both brought you great profit, and let you live a comfortable, yet hard earned life.

You toiled away in the fields, wiping the sweat from your brow as you heard a voice call out to you.

“Papa!” The young voice called.

You smiled and turned around, taking a knee and allowing the little girl to throw herself into your arms. Her two tail wagged happily and her fox ears twitched atop her golden hair.

“Hello to you too, Makoto.” You laughed, ruffling her hair and ears.

Makoto giggled and took a step back.

“Dad!” Another voice called. “Look what we found!”

A boy ran to you with a very miffed frog in his hands. He grinned and wiped the dirt from his cheeks. The boy looked like you when you were his age, though his hair was short, it matched his mother's in color. A one in ten thousand chance, you were told. Although the boy was human, he was birthed by your wife Karin, with the only resemblance being the hair color and his almost fox like slits for pupils in his emerald eyes.

“Now, where did you kidnap him from, Evan?” You asked.

“The lake!” He stated proudly.

“Well, do you intend to eat him?”

“Yuck, no!” Evan rejected the idea while his sister stuck out her tongue with a “Eww!”

“Then you should probably let him go.” You suggested.

“Fine…” Evan pouted.

You smiled and stood up, spotting Karin near the house in the distance. You wrangled the children back to the house and greeted your wife with a kiss.

“Look how dirty you are!” Karin scolded both you and the kids. “Well you're certainly taking a bath soon enough.”

“Like you're one to talk.” You huffed, pressing your hands against her cheeks.

Karin struggled and managed to pull herself away from your grasp.

“Why, I never. I was once part of the royal court, you know!”

“And now you're out here with me.” You state boldly.

“And I wouldn't have it any other way.” She said, pressing her nose against yours. “We can take a bath together then.”

“Oh…?”

>>370886

“Dad!” Evan pulled on your shirt. “Someone's coming.”

He looked to Evan and then to the road leading to your house.

“He-He's real big.” Makoto stated, hiding behind you.

They were right, the man was a giant. You couldn't make him out clearly until he closed in, but by the time he was marching up the hill to your home, you knew full well that he was a Paladin.

He must have been almost seven feet tall, his armor was adorned in gold and he wore the pelt of a lion over his shoulders, its dead glare staring back at you. In his right hand he carried a mighty axe he used as a walking stick, the sharp head jutting from the golden maw of a lion similar to the one he wore on his shoulders. He wore no visor, a scared face with olive skin, a shaved head, and a kept beard.

You've never met him in person, but just by appearance you knew who this man was. The Paladin-Lord Diomedes, Paladin of the great southern houses and King of the country of Ellada.

“If I am not mistaken by your skin, you are the Paladin I seek.” Diomedes asked, his voice heavily accented.

“I am a Paladin, yes.” You spoke the truth.

“Then you are Rourke's man.” He sighed. “Then before we speak further I should tell you that Brother-Captain Rourke has fallen in battle.”

“Rourke is…Dead?”

Karin looked to you and placed a hand on your shoulder and chest.

“He died bravely. If only we could be so lucky.” Diomedes stated.

His voice was cold, but you took no offense to it. The archives had always mentioned he was straight forward and to the point, it was just how he was. Usually, Paladin-Lords would travel with an entourage, body guards. But Diomedes was revered and famed for his prowess in battle. If anything the body guards may have just slowed him down if he came into danger.

“I've come to collect you personally on his behalf.” Diomedes informed you. “It would be an insult if I sent a messenger.”

“Collect me?” You asked. “If I might asked, My lord.”

“Diomedes is fine.” He corrected you.

“Then why do you need me, Diomedes?”

Diomedes looked away for a moment before speaking again. “A call to arms have been given, very dire this time.”

“A call to arms?”

“Yes. The beasts are rising again.”

You froze, Karin looked to you with worry.

“Beasts?” You asked. “There's no way. We killed them all!”

“A different breed, it would seem. They do not share the characteristics with goats this time around.”

“Then what are they.”

Diomedes pointed to the pelt on his shoulders. “Large fangs, heavy weapons, sturdy armor. They are much smarter and larger than their counterparts…”

Diomedes straightened himself out.

“I came to seek your aid, many other Paladins have already answered the call to arms, and many Paladin-Lords already muster their armies to meet this foe. They are mustering their hordes in the lands of Rica as we speak. And I came with haste to gain your aid as well.”

Diomedes looked at your children, then your wife before looking back to you.

“You may refuse, and I would not blame you if you did. But I will say…If we do not stop the beast hordes here and now. They will spread. And in a few years, it will be your children fighting them as well.”

You looked down to the scared Evan, your brows furled. He was about the same age you were when you lost everything… You took a deep breath and patted your son on the head.

“Give me time to gather my things…” You told him.

“Dad, no!” Evan protested.

“Daddy!” Makoto added.

Karin looked heart broken, but she didn't say a thing. She knew.

“Good.” Diomedes nodded. “We already have your armor and rifle… Its been some time since you have been united with them.”

As quickly as he came, Diomedes turned his back and began to leave.

“I must return to my people. We muster in Ellada, I will see you there.”

You were packed the next day, your old sword once again at your side. Leaving through the front door, you said your farewells to your children and wife.

“Take care of your mother and sister for me, alright Evan?” You instructed, hugging the boy close.

“Okay, Dad…” he sniffled.

“Makoto, be good for your mother, she'll need you more than ever.” You told your daughter with a hug as well.

“I understand, daddy…”

Finally, you stood up and approached Karin. She hid the tears from her eyes as you hugged her close and kissed her on the lips.

“I will return.” You told her.

“I know.” She smiled. “Come back to us, my love.”

You looked back at them as you left until you couldn't see your farm anymore. You left them behind, for their sake, for the sake of everyone…

>>370887

The journey to Ellada wasn't as long as you expected. When you reached the mainland you were found by a soldier of the Zhongguo army. You didn't speak one another's language, but he recognized you from description. From here you were lead to an unfamiliar vehicle, something known as a “train.”

It cut your travels in half, stepping off the train only when the railroad ended. From there you walked, went by horse, and finally stepped aboard another train leading to Ellada. You were greeted by Diomedes himself, who had returned to his kingdom mere days before you. There you were given your armor and rifle once again, and like a second layer of skin, it fit just like you remembered.

The armies marched, hundreds of thousands of soldiers with a detachment of thousands of Paladins met the horde of over a million beasts along the coast of Ellada. The army of the Unconquered Sun brought their full might to bare, with soldiers of every nation. Even Zipangu Samurai and Freeman joined the fray. The Sacred Craftsmen sent their strongest, and with them, artillery like you have never seen.

You stood atop the hills, looking down at the Lions that would meet your wrath. You turned your head to your left and met eyes with Louis, Yono stood at his side, hands on the sword he had given her a decade ago. He nodded to you, and you nodded back.

To your right came Levitz, loading his revolver and strapping it to his side, then Gerald and Wolfgang, their firearms at the ready.

A lifetime of war, a lifetime of battle, but now you had something to protect, something to come home to. It would make each stroke of the sword and squeeze of the trigger worthwhile. You looked on ahead, ready for the signal to charge.

The visor came down around your face, and once again you returned to the bloody business.

END.

>>370889

You are my hero, writefag-sama.

>>370889

I enjoyed every entry.

Thank you so much for your stories, anon.

>>370889

Thanks for the stories, hope to see you writing more in the future.

>>373002

What's got you stumped?

>>373003

Mostly how to make it fun/interesting. I don't have enough autism power to make it super technical, but I also don't have the artistic ability to make things like hex grid maps so it would be almost 100% narrative. And the problem with that is if you don't have maps you wouldn't really know where you were going and all that stuff.

>>373004

The map doesn't have to look great, it just has to get the necessary information across.

>>373006

I'll take a look into it. If I can make it fun for people I'll do it, but if not then I'll drop the idea, at least for a time.

>>373004

A hex based map is something even a person whos never drawn before in his life could do, not pretty, but good enough to get the point across.

Literally download a hexagon template and fill it in with color, green for grass, gray for mountains or whatever. A town can be a flat drawing of a house like a grade schooler can do.

>>370889

>>373042

good job as always, i hope we could read more of your writings in the future

>>374085

The writefag General might be a better place for that. If it’s your first time, they can give you advice on how to improve your writing

>>374085

What would be the tone off your story? Like semi-serious, comedic , or something else? There was 2020 story that had a semi serious feel towards it and sounds similar to your story maybe just without the ww3/ overrun Europe angle towards it.

>>374099

its gonna be semi-serious and romancey/feelsy

a little bit of comedy and comfy thrown in there to amplify the feels, you know how you put a pinch of salt in a desert to amplify the sweetness? yeah like that

>>374314

How would you imagine the men being like in a sjw world? would they be like something from 1984 (confused, broken) or people in the Brave New World (too pleasure focused) or some other dystopia caused personality deficiency.

>>374379

in my universe. its a bit of both for the most part

a good portion of men are just broken, not so much confused( ill elaborate in a bit) but they do cower if confronted by females and want absolutely nothing to do with them. a smaller portion are pleasure driven, white knight orbiters and the ones who actually do get to fuck women but those are a lost cause because they are pussy whipped to the point where if a woman told them to get with another man he wouldn't hesitate

and there is the other group which would be the resistance. i dont want to get too much into them since they are basically going to be the backbone of the story but we have 2 major factions of the resistance

the ones on the grid and the ones who live off the grid.

the ones off the grid have either faked their deaths or fled early on.

they are split into 3 sub groups. the resource gatherers, the researchers, and the engineers.

the ones on the grid basically try to spread the word and remind the broken joes to help the cause in any way they can which usually means trading tools,bottles, cans, syringes or any other thing that would be time consuming for the off griders to produce, for meat and/or medicine.

the world government is aware of the resistance but since they keep a low profile, they arent seen as a threat to be pursued. however if they do see something like a trade happening they will be apprehended and sent to a gulag

>>374382

Wait, what is the is the resistance resisting? I know you said that it is a sjw world but what is the legal and martial forces that make it such a dystopia? I doubt a ussr approach can be done anymore, the EU style would be very weak martial wise, and a heavy handed approach cannot be done in US or even in the latin american nations as both would or has been very violent. The only thing I could see working is the besmirching of ones good name and even than that is failing after the Kavanaugh hearing. Also what the hell would researchers be doing off the grid? They could just leave the nation and go some where else.

>>374398

its a world wide government that fell to a "believe her" mentality

at which point basically any MO is possible if you have the mental gymnastics to give the reason. the force would basically be the white knight orbiters and to a lesser extent, police robotics

>>362880

>no, I can hear myself rejecting it in the back of my head

>no, it isn’t right. I can’t just expect to hear Mary like that as if I was never broken in the first place

>can’t accept it, not like that

>sudden flashes of images went through my mind, just vague recollection of things I’ve seen and done in the past

>her face seems frozen for a few seconds as if she had seen something she shouldn’t have, her eyes seemed to go grey faintly while her lips tremble lightly

>did she see those

>attempting to take her tentacle out of my ear, she stops me by the wrist, her eyes staring deep in my eyes

<anon, it’s okay

>no, it isn’t-

<you’re tired and confused, we should return to the hotel together

>did she just see my memories like that

<I’m sorry, anon. I wouldn’t help it, it’s my first time

>first what

>blushing fiercely, she basically drags me back to the hotel, arms locked together but still has her tentacle ‘locked’ in my ear

>keep hearing her whispering to herself faintly in her mind, not sure if it was possible to whisper inside your head though, never mind what she’s whispering about

>we made it back at the hotel, it’s almost dusk

>rushed through the reception, past multiple couples looking at us with confusion – is it because she’s still linked with me via tentacle

>we finally return to our room

>that’s funny

>now that I take a better look at our room, I notice that we only have one bed available

>thought we should at least get two beds for both of us since I’m only a tourist and it shouldn’t be expected of me to stay-

<anon, please

>she guides me to the edge of the bed, pushing me down to sit on it while she sits next to me with a uneasy face

>I don’t know what to say, or well, in this case, ‘think’-

<anon, you can talk with me about anything.

>can’t, I just-

>her hair-tentacles feel my head all over, feels like she’s giving me a head massage while patting me

<anon, I want to apologise ahead in advance

>what for?

<I saw some of your memories by accident, I was expecting to have a better control over it

>I see but shouldn’t you just remove your tentacle by now and sign with me instead-

<but it isn’t all, anon. I saw how you lived, if briefly for a moment

>freezes on spot and wonders what she meant by that

<again, I don’t mean to look into your memories like that, I truly don’t

>I know and I can tell from your reaction that you don’t mean to-

<do you really, anon?

>can’t deny that, I do mistrust people on a daily basis but-

>wait, why should she know that, why did I tell her that

<I’m really sorry, anon, but I saw the whole picture or a vague one of it, at least

>No. You don’t. I just imagined it all up. You only saw a story I imagined, a daydream-

<is it how you lived, anon?

>she’s holding my hand tenderly, her fingers lightly squeezing and feeling my unsteady pulse

>can’t really lie to her

>yes, that is how I lived and still planned to do so

>don’t know how much you saw of my life so far, but I can spare a few details

<you don’t have to, if you’re not feeling comfortable with it

>but I have to, no, want to

>using my free arm not held by her hand as I put it around her head and drawing her in, bumping my forehead onto hers gently

>closed my eyes and try to visualise or imagine a few events that has happened in the past, inside my mind for her to see

>gives a short brief explanation of each scene I’ve witnessed and experienced

>not expecting any sympathy or pity, just offering explanations. Nothing more, nothing less

>decide that it’s enough for both of us; I push her away to let her have a breather

<anon, you don’t have to live like this

>don’t have any excuse, just grown used to the way that things work back home

<but it’s not right. No-one should live like that, choosing to live alone and pretending that you’re fine

>in an ideal world, I would agree with you but it isn’t an ideal world at all

>for me, it’s just easier to play dumb

<but why, anon?

>just tired of being misunderstood and then misunderstanding what others say to me, just seemed easier for me not to deal with people

>even though I know it’s idiotic and that I can’t be alone forever either but still

>hell, even thought of it as some kind of self-punishment for things I’ve done out of misunderstanding

>>374448

>just generally thought it was just easier for everyone else too, less hassle and I don’t end up being a burden

<but you’re not a burden, anon

>she’s looking at me, her eyes welling up

>don’t look at me like that, I’m not a good man at all. I’m a coward, a hypocrite and a liar. I have my selfish reasons for coming here in the first place

<you mean what you thought of incubization as a cure before your arrival here?

>so she had seen that much as well

<believe me, anon, I know. And I can admit one thing to you – I’m not good either. I’m not a good girl

>what do you mean

<I had my reasons for wanting to be with you, anon. one was selfish. I wanted to see if it was possible for my kin to communicate like this

>she pointed up to us and waved her pointer finger between us

>you mean this telepathy thing

<yes and I couldn’t stand knowing that there were more like you out there, unable to express themselves fully, so I had to be greedy and was focused on getting you first before others

<also, I was late for a reason, anon

>late? Wait, do you mean my arrival at the airport

<yes. I was afraid that I wasn’t good enough for you, given with my kin and my original plan with you but then I saw you trying to talk with the succubus with your notebook. I couldn’t stand seeing it, seeing you keeping quiet like that

>you saw it all, but wait, it means you were-

<yes, I was hiding. I was ashamed at the time, being selfish and wanting to be with you just because you happen to be deaf. I thought I wasn’t a good girl for thinking of you like that first

>so basically curiosity got the better of her

>she nods upon hearing that thought, while looking away

<and to answer your incubization question, we don’t know if it works that way

>works that way? What do you mean?

<it has been years for us since we last had human males and it was only recent that we managed to come over to this world

<despite rumours stating otherwise, it is more of a gradual slow change over the years and we’ve only came in this world a few years ago, we don’t know if it can cure anything as far

>that’ll explain why they were rumours in the first place, but who could spread them like that and won’t it only bring in the shady types in to take advantage of you-

<I don’t know the exact reasoning behind that; it’s something the higher mamono has worked on. They even know that there’ll be some people like that

<but not you, anon. I can tell. Your first thought and image you visualized wasn’t of taking advantage. It was of our safety

>can’t deny that but it still doesn’t justify my original purpose in coming here

<you still thought about it the whole time, doubting yourself even when you arrived here

<compared to me, I can’t deny my selfish reason for wanting to see you

>don’t know how to reply and assure her at this point but I just know she didn’t mean to be selfish

>still, I’m looking at her back as her tentacle continues to link to one of my ears

>decide out of my gut instinct to move without a second thought

>take my arms around her and hug her from behind

<anon, I can’t-

>it’s fine, I know you aren’t a bad girl at all

>continuing to hug her from behind, I take one of my arm up to her head and pat her gently, smoothing out her wiggling tentacle hair

>she shudders as various images and sensations of her biting her lips plays through my head

<no, anon, I’m not a good girl

>it’s okay, it’s okay

>screw it. She trusted me enough to tell me everything she could; I can’t let her punish herself like I did to myself

>lean my head sideway and kiss her neck from behind

>her pulse quickened as I taste her skin – so sweet and soft, tempting me to do more than just kiss

>suddenly she took my arms off her and turned around, pushing me down to the bed on my back, pinning me with her arms

>she’s panting heavily, her hair wiggling and swaying

>the tentacle linking us together is wobbling but still holding on in my ear

<it isn’t fair of you, anon, to tease and comfort me like this

<your words and actions are only making me want to become a bad girl for you

>should’ve seen that coming but I wanted to go with my instinct for her

>after all, it’s her. Something with her clicked a switch on inside me

<but I can’t at this moment. I want to become a good girl for once, just for this moment with you

>the eyes sitting on top of her head pulsed and glowed green faintly

>started to feel even more tired than now, weary than ever

>my vision is becoming blurry, what is she doing

<trust me, for this moment, I want to sleep with you

<nothing more, nothing less

>can’t hear her thoughts clearly now, almost as they’re distorted

<anon, believe me

<I won’t change anything

<I want you for you, for this moment and forever

>this was the last thing I hear in my mind as I fell asleep while feeling her tentacle in my ear squishing out

>>374449

>blinking and yawning as the morning light shines through the curtains

>stare at the ceiling, wondering where I am since it isn’t my normal room

>feels something heavy on top of my body, can’t really move and just staying down on my bed

>realise where I am, the flight and my stay in FUK wasn’t a dream after all

>looking down at the weight on top of me, it was Mary sleeping soundly cuddling my body as her tentacles twitch now and again

>we fell asleep in our clothes, guess she really wanted to sleep with me just like this

>don’t really realise it much earlier, but she’s cuddly and adorable – despite not being words I’m comfortable to say but damn it, she is cuddly and adorable

>notice that I don’t have her tentacle in my ear, I guess that was the last thing I recall feeling last night, she was removing it out of my ear – and that she used her power to make me fall sleep

>poor gal, I think she must be exhausted translating for me and talking with me the whole day

>better snap out of this negative thinking of mine, I’m sure she didn’t think that way since meeting me

>can’t tell if she has done anything to me in my sleep nor anything in my memory has changed

>but then again, she did say she won’t change anything and that she wanted me for me

>don’t know, it’s cheesy and cliché but it worked on me

>even though I’m still feeling doubt, I think, no, I will believe her

>she trusted me to tell me plenty and answered my concerns

>she worried for me

>she almost punished herself too

>can’t really leave her alone like that, can I

>will try trusting her

>no, not try

>will trust her

>besides, I want to know more about her

>it’s only fair since I imagine she had seen enough of my memory and life at this point

>not a good excuse though, I’m trying to make up a rational reason to be with her. I’ll honestly say that I want to be with her. I want to know more about her. I want to see where she lived and how she grew

>you don’t need a good reason to want to be with a good girl, right? I want to be with her, nothing more, nothing less

>sees her move a little in her sleep while easing up her grip on me, she must be awakening a little by now

>she opens her eyes slowly while moving her hands to shield her eyes from the sunlight

>since we’re not linked via tentacle, I don’t know what she’s thinking or saying but I can see her lips mouthing my name

>cleared my throat, I at least want her to hear me for the first time with my voice instead of my mind

>after all, I want to be with her for now and ever

Good morning, Mary.

The End.

>>374451

The story was good but I wish the healing and its limitation was expanded on. Maybe the subject can be written more in depth, maybe involving a unicorn or a medical sabbath.
