Chapter 17: Horse Girl Reina’s Runaway Slut-Cunt Carriage♡
by Shini
Two days had passed since I’d turned the Guild Master’s time-worn, brown asshole into a smooth, pale-fleshed one.
The day of our departure for Tripol had arrived.
It had taken two full days to gather the bandits, a task I thought would take only one. The reason was that they were all scattered across various cities, and it took time for them to respond. The Pig-headed Bandit family consisted of 25 members, plus Reina and the Boss, for a total of 27. Since the call went out at an unscheduled time, only half could respond immediately. A few of them, excited by the prospect of a journey on foot with Reina, answered with gusto. We didn’t need many people for this smuggling trip, so after another round of filtering, two men living in the nearest town were chosen to join the expedition.

Under the hot sun, the carriage wheels rolled over the hard, untended dirt road. The path was littered with sharp stones and overgrown with weeds, so even a slight increase in speed caused the carriage to jolt and shake violently. The two men inside, however, paid no mind to the rattling, lying sprawled in the cargo bed. Using the canvas stretched over the carriage as a sunshade, they were enjoying some afternoon drinks, gulping down the liquor provided by the Boss. To call them loafers would be an understatement. With their masters in such a state, the only one suffering under the scorching sun was the horse. Every time the carriage jolted with a loud clatter, the horse let out a pained cry.
“Keeeungh~♡ Khhhnnng~♡ Kfffuuunnnnggghhh~♡”
…That the horse’s cries were rather strange was no mere fancy.
“Orbie and Tripol are the farthest cities from the Royal Capital, so it’s quite a walk from here. Even for us, the closest ones, it takes over a week on foot, and the roads around here aren’t maintained, so there’s a limit to how much we can travel by carriage. At this speed, maybe five days? We could get there sooner if we picked up the pace, but look at this mess~.”
“Hahahahat~! Don’t say that~! She’s trying her best, you’ll make her feel bad!”
“Wahahak! I guess you’re right!”
Clip-clop clip-clop~♡ Clip-clop clip-clop~♡
Jolt~!
“Phhhrnng~♡ Ph-phrrrt♡ Phrrnnnnng♡ Nnggghh~♡ Nnnnggghhh~♡”
As the two bandits laughed, the carriage hit another stone, and the horse cried out in pain. The crucial harness connecting the horse to the carriage had been thrust upwards, lifting her feet slightly off the ground and striking her sensitive parts hard. Her steps faltered, and one of the bandits who had been lying down drinking came to the front.
“Our horse must be a cheap one, she runs out of juice so fast~! Hey, shit-horse~! At this rate, it’ll really take five days! Now, I’ll give you another lash to get you going, you stupid thing~!!”
K-CRACKKKKKK!!!!!!
“P’kyiiiiiit♡♡♡♡♡♡ H’gyiiiiiik♡♡♡ Ph’yik♡ P’gyik♡ P’gyigyigyigyigyigyit♡♡♡♡ U’gyiiiiiik♡♡♡♡♡♡”
Flinch♡ Flinch♡
Three whip marks appeared on her magnificent, royal-sized ass.
“P’kyiiiiiik♡ Ph’yiiing♡ P’hyigiiiiiit♡ P’hyiiiiiing♡ P’gyigyigyigyigit-♡”
The whipped horse pushed off the ground with her ridiculously high heels and immediately pulled free from the rocky patch. Clatter clank♡ Clatter clank♡ As the carriage bounced over the stones, a filthy, wet sound squelched from between the horse’s legs with every bump. Squelch squelch♡ Splurrrrt♡
“H’hyiiiiiit♡ H’hyiiit♡ Huit~♡ H’buhyiiiiit~♡”
And then, once again, clip-clop clip-clop~♡
It was a mare, her mouth gagged so she could only make snorting sounds through her nose, forced to pull a carriage while wearing high heels. Being an animal, she was naturally naked, her large, voluminous breasts and entire body absorbing the hot sun.
“H-hnnnght, p’hoooook, h’hit, p’hyiiiiiik~♡”
As a result, sweat streamed down her entire body with every movement~♡ Flowing filthily like a flooded cunt. The smell of the mare’s sweat attracted mosquitoes that buzzed around her, but tragically, this mare didn’t even have the freedom to swat them away or scratch an itch.
“P’hot♡ P’hot♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’nnnng~♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡”
“Mosquitoes again? Hey, where’d it bite you? Over here? Hold still! I’ll give it a good scratch for you!”
“H’gyiiiiiik?!?!”
K-CRACKKKKKK!!!!!!
“P’kyiiiiiik♡♡♡♡♡♡ U’gyihyiiiiiit♡♡♡♡♡ N’gyigyigyigyigyigyigik♡♡♡♡ U’git♡ U’gyigyigyigik♡ U’git♡ P’gyihyiiiiiik♡♡♡♡”
“Whahahak!! Are you that happy I scratched your itch for you!”
“P’hoiiiiii♡♡♡ P’hooooook♡♡♡ P’hyiiiiii~♡ P’hyik♡ P’hyik♡ P’hyiiiiiik~♡”
Leap leap♡ Leap leap♡
The mare thrashed about, jumping up and down. Since she was connected to the carriage, the cargo bed grew noisy, but the men just laughed loudly, not stopping her. A fresh whip mark now covered the mosquito bite, the itch replaced by overwhelming pain. Tears streamed from behind the eye mask covering her eyes.
“Hey, Reinare~! Your legs have stopped again, haven’t they~? You want another one?! Huh~?”
“P-p’hyigit~♡ P’gyihyiiiit~♡ H’git♡ H’git♡ H’gyiiiiiit~♡”
The mare responded loudly to his threat…
“P’gyihyiiiit~♡ H’gyiiiiiit~♡ P’git~♡ H’guuuuiiiiiik~♡”
Sway~♡ Sway~♡
Trembling in fear of another blow, she hastily tried to curry favor by swaying her ass from side to side. If the sight of her spreading her cunt in a posture of surrender seemed familiar, your guess was correct. Sure enough, the one pulling their carriage was the perverted mare, Reina. And she was doing it under the blazing sun, without a stitch of clothing on, her cunt and the carriage physically fused in a disgraceful state.
“What’s with that royal-ass dance? Trying to suck up like last time, I see, but if you shake your ass now, the carriage will just shake again, you know? We have a destination to reach today, and we’re not stopping until we get there! So enough with the cunt-sucking, just walk!! We can’t get a shot off in that hole of yours until your cunt carriage is empty!!!”
“P’yiiiiiik~?! P-p’hit! P’hit~♡ Prrrrrr~♡”
Startled by the shout of a mere bandit, not even the Boss, Reina burst into tears and started forward, her cunt spread wide.
Clack-clack-clack-clack!! Clack-clack-clack!!! Clack-clack-clack-clack-clack~!!
The sight of Reina running so disgracefully was worse than one might imagine. Her mouth was stopped with a black ball gag, and a nose hook pulled her nostrils up into a pig’s snout, making her face itself a vulgar sight. An eye mask blinded her, putting her completely under the control of her rider. Her arms were twisted and bound behind her back to prevent any resistance to the whip. Every time the whip cracked through the air behind her, she galloped on, snot and tears dripping down her face, no different from an abused animal.
“P’hooooook~♡ P’hyigoooooot~♡ P’hok♡ P’hot~♡ P’gyigyigyigyigyigyigit~♡”
Clip-clop clip-clop~♡ Clip-clop clip-clop~♡
Every time she was struck by the whip and her cunt clenched, the carriage lurched forward. One might wonder what her cunt and the carriage’s speed had to do with each other, but this was a genuine cunt carriage, powered by the strength of her cunt.
‘Nngghhooooooh♡ Hnggooooooh♡ My cunt♡ It’s tearing♡ My mare-cunt is rippiiiiiing♡ Ugh♡ Nnghoooooh♡ It hurts so muuuuch~♡ My back♡ My ass♡ My cunt, it all hurts so muuuuch♡ G’hyeeeeooooooh♡♡♡♡ Ohoook♡ Ooh♡ K’hooooh♡’
Clip-clop clip-clop~♡
Clip-clop…
Cli-clip-clop~♡ Clip♡ Cli-clip-cloooop~♡
“Oh♡ Ohoop♡ O-oooook♡ H’gogogogo♡ P’hoooooot~♡”
Splurt splurt splurt splurt splurt♡ Splurt splurt splurt splurt♡
“P’hooooook♡ Ooooh, oook♡ Ooh, ooooook♡ Prrrrrrt~♡ P’hup♡ P’hooooot~♡”
Attached to the long chain extending from the front of the carriage was a punch vibe that looked exactly like a grown man’s fist. This perverted mare had shoved that punch vibe deep into her cunt, pulling the carriage and the two men with nothing but the clenching of her cunt. Of course, whenever her cunt’s grip loosened, the punch vibe would gradually slip out, so the cunt carriage’s speed didn’t even reach 0.5 cunt-power, less than 1 horsepower.
‘Ooooooh♡ It’s, it’s slipping out♡ The fist is slipping out agaiiiin♡ No, cunt, you have to try hardeeer♡ You have to clench your cunt♡ You have to squeeze your cunt and bite down hard on the fist♡ I-if I don’t~♡ Again~♡’
Before she could finish the thought, the air split.
──K-CRACKKKKKK-♡♡♡♡♡♡
“P’hoooooo-t♡♡♡♡♡♡ Nn’g’hoooooo-t♡♡♡♡♡♡”
Clip-clop-clip-clop-clip-clop~!!!
‘H’g’hooooooh♡ My ass stings♡ It huuurts♡ It feels like my uterus is being pulled ouuuut♡ It’s so hard♡ Pulling a carriage with my cunt is so haaaard♡ It’s agonizing♡ I just want to scratch my body, at leaaaast♡ H’got♡ H’gogogogogogok♡ This mare treatment is really too muuuuch♡ A cunt carriage♡ My cunt is going to get all loose agaiiiin♡♡♡ Shoving a huge fist vibe like this inside will turn my cunt into a redevelopment zone♡♡♡♡’
Squeeeeeeze♡ Squeeeeeeze♡ Squeeze♡
‘N’hooooooh♡ N’gogogogogok♡ I’m squeezing my cunt so hard it’s about to craaaamp♡ O’hot♡ Ohooooaaooogo♡ I can’t see ahead♡ The high heels are scaryyyy♡ Ah, if I fall forward, I’m dead♡ If the vibe slips out of my cunt, I’m deeead♡ H’git♡ Hoooooh♡ Focus on the cunt♡ Total focus on the cuuuunt♡ Breath of the cunt♡ Cuuunt♡ Cuntiiiit♡ Cuntiiiiiit♡ My slut cunt with a fist shoved in it, give me streeeeeength♡♡♡♡’
Squeeeeeeze♡ Squeeeeeeze♡
Clip-clop~♡
“P’hot♡ P’ho♡ P’hoooooot~♡”
A moment of crisis had passed, but by clenching her cunt hard and pushing the vibe deeper into her vagina, the perverted mare Reina finally managed to pick up speed. Perhaps it was because they had cleared the rocky area, but the road ahead was smooth and well-maintained. Without any stones to trip her up, she finally returned to a speed of 1 cunt-power.
“P’hoooooo~♡ P’hoooooot~♡ P’hot♡ P’hoooooop♡ Prrrrrr-♡”
Clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop-♡
Clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop clip-clop-♡
Under the hot sun, the crazy slut with a vibrator in her cunt finally felt the wind as she ran with her legs spread wide.
“Prrrrrru~♡ Prorororurururut♡ P’hyut♡ P’hnnnnnnght~♡”
“Oh, she’s finally picking up some speed. You could run this well all along, and you were just jogging slowly before?”
“P’hnnnnnng~♡ P’r’hnnnng~♡ P’hnnnnnng~♡”
“I have no idea what you’re saying, you retarded shit-horse~. But seeing the juice dripping from your cunt, I can tell you’re happy. We have a set distance to cover today, so the faster we get there, the more we can rest. So hurry up and run faster~!”
“P’hnnng♡ P’hyut♡ Prururururut♡ P’rut♡ Prurururururu~♡”
“─Oh?!”
Deciding it was safe around here, the retarded mare leaned her upper body forward and kicked off the ground. She accelerated, pulling the punch vibe and the cunt carriage with her own body weight. The refreshing wind dried her vaginal fluids, making the punch vibe stick tightly to her vaginal walls, creating good friction. Absurdly enough, she had figured out the know-how of pulling a carriage with her cunt.
Whoosh~!
Clatter-clatter-clatter-clatter-clat~♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat~♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat~♡
“Whoa, she’s getting faster. She’s really fast.”
“Feels like about two horses’ worth of power, maybe?”
“That’s 2 cunt-power.”
“Kwahahaha~! 2 cunt-power, he says. Well, she’s basically running with her cunt, so it fits! Hahak!!”
Truly, cunt power♡
Reina shivered at the laughter from behind her, but she twisted her body to find a more efficient way to run. She soon realized that she went faster every time her prized 120cm breasts swung down, creating momentum.
“Prurururururut~♡ Prurururut~♡ P’hyut♡ P’h’rurururururut~♡”
Whinnying like a real mare, jiggle jiggle♡ jiggle jiggle♡, the cunt carriage picked up speed as she used the rebound from her swinging 120cm breasts. The idea of pulling a carriage with a cunt was ridiculous, and the two men riding it honestly hadn’t expected to even arrive, but they were now feeling with their whole bodies that reality was stranger than fiction.
‘Nnnghhoooaaaooooooh♡ It hurt♡ It hurt so much my cunt felt like it was tearing♡ But once I started running, it started feeling good agaiiiin♡ Oaaaoh♡ Oooooook♡ I love running without being able to see what’s aheeead♡ The feeling of someone else controlling my actioooons♡ Oho♡ A cunt rodeo♡ A cunt biker gang~♡ N’hyiiiiiing~♡ N’ghaaaoh♡ Oooooooh~♡ A cunt daaaaaash~♡’
T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat~♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dak~♡ T’d-d-d-dat~♡
“Uh, isn’t this a little too fast?”
“At this rate, it’s not a cunt carriage, it’s a cunt train~!!”
‘N’hit♡ N’hahat♡ Y-yeah~♡ I’m a cunt train♡ Cunt train♡ Cunt train♡ P’nnnnnng~♡ P’hung~♡ Reina is a cunt train♡ I’m a cunt train dragooon~♡ Ohaaaaaak♡ Ohat♡ Ohat♡ N’ghaaaaaat~♡ Choo-choo~♡ The cunt train is departing♡ Squeezing my cunt all the way to the destination~♡ Running without closing my legs no matter who passes by~♡ A naked exhibitionist frenzy shooooow~♡ I want someone to see♡ I want to run where there are more people♡ I want to arrive while the sun is still uuuup♡ I want everyone to see my disgraceful staaaaate~♡ I’ll show them the dragon who became a cunt carriage train, pulling a carriage with her cuuuunt~♡’
─P’hyiiiiiing♡♡♡ P’hyiiiiiing♡♡♡♡
“Why’d you have to say that?! This stupid Reinare bitch is suddenly making train noises!!”
“It was a joke! A joke! I didn’t tell you to do it!! Hey, are you listening to me?! Reinare!!!”
T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡♡♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡♡♡♡
“P’hyiiiiing~♡ P’hing p’hing~♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡ Choo-choo~♡ Choooo-choooooo~♡”
“I told you not to make horn noises! You’re attracting too much attention!!!”
‘Nooo~♡ I want someone to see♡ Oaat♡ Aat♡ Ooooooh~♡ The road suddenly got smoother♡ This is proof that people travel this road often~♡ There must be something nearbyyyy~♡ Ohat♡ Look♡ Look at me♡ Look at me pulling a carriage with my cunt♡ Look at the pervert pulling a carriage with her cunt♡ Look at the erotic dragon pretending to be a cunt train, making horn noises♡ And humiliate meeee~♡’
T’d-d-d-d-d-d–d-d-d-d-d-d-t-d-d-d-d-d-d–앗♡♡♡♡♡♡
“Uh, uh, looks like she got excited instead?”
“At this rate, the whip won’t work-“
At this point, they couldn’t just let her run wild for laughs. The man who had volunteered as the rider threw the whip behind him and instead tugged on the reins connected to her clitoris. Ping♡
“H’hooooook♡♡♡ H’ooooh♡ H’ooooook♡ O’gogogogot~♡”
“This way! That way’s a ditch! If you’re going to run, run this way!”
Squeeeeeeze~♡
“H’gohoooooot~♡ Ooooh… h… h’ot… h’oooooh…!! P’rut♡ P’rut♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’hyihyihying~♡”
Fortunately, the reins worked. When he pulled hard on the rope tied to her clitoris, she turned in that direction. Her already large, bean-like clitoris swelled up, turning bright red and pooling with blood every time it was pulled, but Reina didn’t care one bit. Like a truly happy horse, she expressed her joy with two high jumps.
‘Ohoo♡ Thank youuu♡ A horse needs a rider, after all♡ I love not being able to see anything ahead♡ The sense of accomplishment from avoiding something by following my master’s command♡ I love this so much♡ I think I’m getting addicted to this feeling of achievement♡ Maybe I would have been happier if I’d quit being a dragon and been born a mare~♡ Getting pounded by a stallion’s dick every day♡ A life of being trained by humans and pulling carriages would have been happy, too♡ N’hot♡ K’hoaaat♡ A’ha’uuung~♡ Dragons really are the worst♡ They’re lower than mares~♡ Why was I born a dragooon~♡’
Spsssshhhhhh♡♡♡♡
“Ugh? Ack~! P’hek!! Kaaargh~! Th-th-that shit-horse in heat~! Spraying her juices in my face while running, what the hell~!!”
Perhaps it was the speed, but the fountain from her urethra sprayed backward instead of down, splattering all over the rider’s face. He turned back to grab the whip again and swung it without mercy.
‘Oh, ooh, here it comes~♡ The rod of love is coming~♡ Being whipped is a horse’s privileege~♡ Here comes my privilege~♡’
“You little bitch?!”
CRACKKKKKK!!!!!!
“H’m’hoooooo-t♡♡♡♡♡ P’hoooooo-t♡♡♡ Ooooooo-t♡♡♡♡ P’hot♡ P’hot♡ P’hyiiiiii-♡♡♡♡ P’hing♡ P’hyiiiing♡ P’hit♡ B’hyiiiiii-t♡♡♡ B’hyiiiiii-k♡♡♡♡”
“Did you learn how to orgasm from a whipping in that time?! This isn’t a punishment anymore!!”
‘N’hoooooot♡ M-maybe I diiid♡ I never thought I’d orgasm just from being hit on the ass~♡ N’hok♡ Ahoooooot♡ Admitting that a dragon is lower than a mare has raised my body’s sensitivity~♡ O’hok♡ It’s hitting me mentally♡ My mind is going white~♡ Ahahaa♡ Ahak♡ Ahahahak♡ Mare life is the beeeeee-st♡’
T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡
The speed finally became uncontrollable. Her arms were tied behind her, she was wearing heels, and she couldn’t see ahead, so her posture should have been unstable, but her level was no mere decoration. She maintained perfect balance, her cunt-hair fluttering as she galloped on, thump thump thump thump. Seeing this, the two men were genuinely impressed by their Boss’s foresight.
“At first, when he told us to shove a vibe in this bitch’s cunt and make her pull, I had no idea what he was talking about! If we hadn’t done as the Boss said, she’d be running at a speed that would have shattered the carriage!”
“The Boss is amazing…!!”
It wasn’t really something to be admired, but they were filling up with respect for the most useless things.
However, even with her speed reduced, a nearby village was already coming into view.
“Uh, oooh, people!”
‘Ohooooook~?! Really? For real~?! N-no way♡ N’hyut♡ N’haaaak~♡’
They were supposed to arrive here in the evening at the earliest, but they had far surpassed their expectations. They had arrived not even at lunchtime, but while the sun was still shining brightly. What’s more, the two bandits spotted a merchant who had just left the village, who was trying to pass them. The merchant was startled by the sight of the slut running towards him and was trying to calm his horse to a stop.
“Reinare! There’s a merchant passing right next to us! Be careful not to hit his carriage!”
“P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’hit~♡ P’hyiiiit~♡ P’hong~♡ P’hot♡”
T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡ T’d-d-d-d-d-d-dat♡ T’d-d-d-d-dat♡
After slightly reducing her speed and sensing the other carriage was about to pass right beside her, Reina performed a greeting of her own design. To show as much goodwill as possible with her bound body, she swung her prized 120cm breasts widely from side to side, creating breast pendulums, and made a mare’s cry.
“P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’hit~♡ P’hyihyihing~♡ P’hyihyihyihyihyihing~♡”
Slap-♡
Slaaaap-♡
Slap-slap♡
Slaaap-♡
“P’hyihyihyihyihyihing~♡ P’hyit♡ P’hu♡ P’hyihyihing~♡ P’hit~♡”
Her 120cm right and left breasts swung like heavy pendulums. They rose into the air and then slapped against each other, smack smack♡, repeating the cheerful, perverted sound. Since she couldn’t raise her arms to wave, this was her huge-breast greeting. After it was over, she stopped next to the other carriage, shook her own cunt back and forth to make the chain jingle, jingle jangle♡, and then pushed out the punch vibe, bulge♡, revealing her current state without hiding a thing.
“Eh, ehh…?”
Naturally, the passing merchant let out a short, startled sound, thinking he was seeing things, and even stopped breathing. It was a brief reaction, and could have been a disappointing one, but for this pervert, it was more than enough.
‘Ohat♡ Oh, the stares are piercing♡ Oho♡ Aah♡ They’re looking♡ At my cunt-cunt daaance~♡ The passing merchant is seeing everything♡ I hope you have a good day after seeing my cunt~♡ Ohaaaat♡ Ohat♡ Ohat♡ Ohaaaaaa-uuung~♡ If you see my cunt, you’ll have good luck today♡ That’s what everyone says♡ You’re guaranteed to strike it rich with cunt-luck~♡’
Jingle jangle~♡ Jingle jangle~♡
Reina’s pride and specialty, the indecent cunt dance, began.
This time, it was the mare version of the indecent cunt dance, highlighting the punch vibe shoved in her cunt and the long chain connecting it to the carriage.
“P’hooooot♡ P’hot♡ P’horoooooot♡ P’hooooook♡”
Sway sway swaaaaay~♡ Sway sway swaaaaay~♡
“P’hyiiiiiing~♡ P’hoho♡ P’ot♡ P’hooooot♡ B’hoaaaaaat─♡”
“Ah, good work today.”
“Have a good day~.”
Clip-clop clip-clop~♡ Clip-clop clip-clop~♡
As soon as her indecent cunt dance and greeting were over, she immediately started pulling the carriage again. The two men riding behind her were embarrassed by Reina’s retarded antics, but they managed to maintain their composure and offer a greeting, saying nothing more until they had passed the merchant. In contrast, the merchant, who watched the back of the cunt carriage disappear to the sound of a horse’s clip-clop, remained frozen in place for a while, still looking completely dumbfounded.
“…I was planning to make her put on clothes as soon as we saw someone.”
“You shameful bitch… yooou… you’ll get it when we get back…”
“P’hung♡ P’h’hung~♡”
“I don’t know what you’re smiling so satisfied about…”
They had entered the village to rest, but the speed was so good that the cunt carriage didn’t stop and headed straight for the next town. Since they had also been victims of Reina’s perverted behavior, they immediately took up the whip to punish her, but she just orgasmed again, and they failed to train this dragon-mare in heat.
“At this point, we have no choice.”
“Yeah, we might as well enjoy it.”
“P’hyihyihing~♡ P’hyihyihyihing~♡ P’hying~♡”
In the end, the two men decided to put on a brave face and enjoy the journey of indecency led by Reina. Thanks to her recent perverted act, a strange rumor began to spread—”A red-headed pervert has been spotted in the area, pulling a carriage with her cunt”—but it would never reach the ears of the cunt carriage party.
“Giddy-up~! Giddy-up~!”
“Run, Cunt Rice~!”
“P’hyihyih’h’hung~♡ H’yihyung~♡ P’hyiiiiiing~♡”
After all, Reina’s cunt carriage was faster than any rumor on foot, and clenched much tighter, too. By the time the story began to spread, they had already left the region.
