“W-what, you starved all day?” Fosao angrily exclaimed from behind Tia, who was frantically eating bread.

A steaming bowl of soup was placed on the table.

“How could that, that happen?”

Clink. As soon as the soup was placed on the table, Tia dipped the hard bread into it and ate. She said nothing, busy filling her hungry stomach, but from the frantic way she ate, it was clear just how starved she was.

“How is it? Feeling better?” Only after completely emptying the soup bowl could she finally catch her breath.

“…Yes.”

Tia had been clutching her stomach ever since she entered the general store. The face with which she had asked Fosao for food, in a strained voice, was the complete opposite of how she had looked when starving in the Charrack Mountains. In the mountains, even after not eating for two days, she had exerted all her strength to somehow escape. But now, Tia, having starved for just a day, looked as withered as a dead leaf. It wasn’t that her physical strength had weakened.

It was because ‘this single day’ was harder than ‘those two days’ back then. The exhaustion of living on the edge, constantly aware of what people thought of her, was more painful than when she had walked until her feet swelled to escape mountain bandits.

Tia caressed her ruby necklace.

And now… the purpose that had helped her weary body endure was gone. The dream of marrying Ritsu after the baptism had faded into thin air. She no longer knew what to do.

Scrape. Fosao rose from his seat. “Wait a moment. I’ll g-get some snacks.”

Fosao went into the storage room. What he soon brought out were hardtack biscuits.

Tia picked up a hardtack biscuit. It was similar to the one she had shared with the old man in Rotenban. The fact that the old man had this as a snack…

Was it because he remembered ‘that time’? No way. It wasn’t that important of an event. There’s no way the old man would remember such a small detail. It must have been a coincidence.

Just as she thought that and put it in her mouth, chewing.

Fosao-nim chuckled awkwardly. “Hehe- Y-yes, it reminds me of the old days. Tia, you g-gave this to me.”

“…!” He remembered. She was so surprised and happy by that fact that she nodded vigorously.

“Yes… that’s right.”

“It was R-Rotenban, wasn’t it? I was having s-s-some trouble getting a train ticket… and Tia helped me. Hehe.”

“The people there were so rude.”

“But Ti-Tia was so cool! You t-told off the staff firmly. And you called the coachmen so boldly.”

“Hehe.” A refreshing memory welled up, and she laughed with a joyful voice, but then her expression hardened again, as if that too had become a faded memory.

“…It was nothing.”

“You were so cool… and s-strong…”

Fosao looked at Tia.

“N-now, Tia looks very weak.”

“…”

“I know… because of the villag-gers… it’s h-hard, isn’t it?”

“That’s…” She was about to say no, but she closed her mouth again. The old man was right. Because Ritsu loved the village so much. Because the villagers also liked Ritsu. Because she, who would become Ritsu’s wife, had to do well… she had endured it, but she couldn’t say that this trial wasn’t arduous.

She had to work even harder to become Ritsu’s flawless wife. But the more she tried, the more she felt she was losing herself, and it scared her. She no longer knew how much more she had to give up.

“…Everyone is just struggling.” Nevertheless, she wanted to understand the villagers.

“It’s because of me that things turned out this way. I’m being punished.”

“N-no, Tia. No matter what… this is too s-severe.”

“Even I think I’m pathetic. So I understand.”

“Ti-Tia!”

Fosao-nim called out to Tia in a loud voice.

“I… know.” His eyes were blazing. ‘I know.’ It was a short sentence, but from it, Tia felt intense anger. In front of someone who had been ignored and chased away by people for 40 years. To say she understood the villagers. Tia realized how foolish her words had been.

“…I’m sorry.”

“N-no, Tia. Ti-Tia is too kind… it’s understandable.”

Fosao cast his eyes downwards.

“I… had a hard time too. I was teased. I wasn’t even given p-proper treatment by Marvin, who’s much younger than me. The adults said it was natural. Because I’m a stammering… pig who can’t do anything. So… I thought about d-dying many times.”

“Old man…”

“But the reason I’m still alive…” The old loner let out a deep sigh.

“It’s because Rina… Rina helped me.”

Hearing her mother’s name, Tia felt a tingling sensation resonate in her chest.

“Rina became the reason I could live. She became proof that not everyone in the world hated me.”

“…”

“So, Tia, just tell me when you’re having a hard time. I… I’ll help you no matter what. You’re Rina’s daughter, after all. Hehe.”

Slide. The old man’s hand approached and gently grasped her wrist. It was warm comfort.

Anytime. No matter what. I’ll help you. Perhaps the legacy her mother left behind wasn’t just the Rose Sabre. Because she had left behind such a good person… such a connection.

The fullness of a stomach when it’s no longer empty. And intoxicated by the warmth touching her skin, Tia’s cheeks flushed.

Massage. Massage. The old man gently caressed her slender wrist. That touch, like a massage, kept giving her a tingling sensation. Tia subtly rubbed her knees together under the table.

“Old man…”

“Hm? What is it?” The old man asked softly.

“W-w-want to go upstairs?”

“…”

“…Yes.”

***

As always, it began with extinguishing the fireplace on the first floor.

Naturally, they walked together towards the stairs to the second floor. While Fosao firmly locked the bedroom door, Tia shed a layer of clothing. Exposing her swelling breasts without any concealment. She surrendered everything to Fosao’s touch.

“Haa- haa-.”

Tia grew hotter even faster than last night. The more she received the massage, the more easily she accepted pleasure and became sensitive. Her body learned quickly, just as her mind was sharp.

“Hnh-.”

The girl’s body, trained by wielding a sword, possessed beautiful curves, as if sculpted from marble by a master sculptor. Moreover, her skin was not too pale like a sick person’s but had a slightly yellowish hue, making it supple. The sweat that beaded on her hot body carried a sweet apple scent.

Touching Tia’s beautiful and soft body was… None other than the hand of a fat pig, covered in coarse black hair. Fosao’s fingers, having lived three times as long as Tia, brazenly fondled the breasts that had just begun to swell. His dark hand invaded the nipples that would one day feed Tia’s newborn baby, rubbing and pinching them roughly.

“Hyaat? Haaak…” With Tia’s fervent gasps, Fosao’s trousers grew conspicuously bulky below.

“Hoo. Hoo!” Fosao, who had been roughly fondling her breasts, slowly slipped his hand under the blanket. Slide. Tia flinched at the sensation climbing her thigh. It felt different from a hand that was simply going to massage her already relaxed legs again. It moved up a little faster and more steeply. Because his fingers reached the small, concave valley connecting her thigh and lower abdomen. Right next to that was… just below her lower abdomen. The place where a woman’s precious part lay.

Feeling the danger, Tia’s body trembled.

“O-old man…?”

“Hm?” Fosao looked back with an innocent expression, but Tia’s heart was pounding as if it would burst from anxiety.

“Your hand is a little…”

“My hand? Why? H-how is it?”

“Well…” Tia trailed off, afraid to say, ‘It feels like it’s going to touch.’

But even as she hesitated. Little by little. The old man’s hot hand was approaching that spot.

Slide. She squeezed her eyes shut, just about to say no.

“Um… Ti-Tia.”

“Yes, yes?”

“I’m sorry, but this…” Suddenly, the old man grabbed his pants with his other hand. Slide. Pulling them down, a large, erect penis appeared before Tia.

“C-can you help me with what we couldn’t do yesterday?”

“Ah…” With the old man’s hand approaching that spot. And him offering his penis, asking for help. There was only one thing Tia could grab.

Slide. She raised her hand and wrapped it around Fosao’s penis.

“I’ll help you.”

“W-with your mouth… is it possible?”

“…”

Yesterday, it hadn’t gone properly and had just faded out. Thanks to the old man’s consideration, telling her not to overdo it, that was the end of it… But he had seemed a little regretful.

After a moment of hesitation, Tia gently closed her eyes instead of answering. Then she slowly moved her head forward and poked her tongue out.

The old man also stepped closer to make it easier for her tongue to reach. Tap. She felt a moist, sticky liquid touch her tongue. Just that alone made Tia realize she was currently licking the old man’s penis.

She wiggled her tongue slightly. This rounded sensation at the tip. It must be the very top of the old man’s penis, right…?

Lick. The moment she moved her tongue slightly to lick the tip of the penis.

“Ooh…!” The old man cried out in ecstasy, his body trembling violently. This kind of reaction was new. She had only licked it for a moment with the tip of her tongue. Could it really feel that good?

Lick. Her tongue kept getting coated with something sticky, which she didn’t like.

“You’re d-doing very well, Tia. It f-feels so good… Hoo-.”

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the old man’s face. He was also looking down at her, panting, and their eyes met.

“Hehe. Tia… you’re like a little k-kitten…”

“…” Her current posture certainly… resembled a cat. She was kneeling, with both hands on the ground, licking the penis as if lapping up milk.

“Tia. When I gave you a massage, h-how was it? It felt good, didn’t it?”

“Yes…”

“It’s s-similar to that. Like gently touching it. Heheek… Think of it as g-giving me a massage, Tia, and roll your tongue.”

She recalled when the old man had massaged her. His touch had been gentle. He found the spots that felt good and pressed them firmly, and he even carefully worked on places that might have been overlooked. Most of all, even though it must have been tiring for him to give a massage, he showed no signs of difficulty at all.

Although she had never learned massage techniques and didn’t know much about them. She could tell from his gentle touch how diligently Fosao-nim had massaged her.

So, likewise. To find the spots the old man liked, she circled the tip of his penis widely with her tongue.

“Nghaa! Yes… Th-that’s it!”

The sticky liquid that kept oozing out and coating her tongue was unpleasant. But thinking that this was proof the old man was enjoying it… even the salty taste felt a little more acceptable.

Tia used her tongue to meticulously lick various spots. As she fumbled a little and then went down to the base of the penis.

“Hwoahh-! There… Hoo- It feels so… so good!”

Suddenly, the penis swelled considerably. More clear fluid came out. Somehow, along with a salty taste, she also felt a slightly bitter taste… Is this the spot?

Lick. When she licked the base of the penis, sweeping upwards once, it twitched and wriggled. The old man’s breathing also grew rougher, with heavy pants.

So this was his weak spot. Lick lick. As she continued to lick only that part, the old man flinched significantly, looking flustered.

“…Y-you got good at it so quickly…! Tia really is smart.”

“…*Suck.* Does it feel good?”

“Yes! It f-feels good…”

The old man grinned and asked. “Tia. W-would you try using your lips this time?”
