Chapter Index

    Tia seemed disgusted by the feel of the semen remaining on her tongue, flinching repeatedly as she tried to swallow it. Even that seemed difficult for her.

    Only after squeezing her eyes shut and gulping it down several times was she finally able to sigh.

    Tia honestly described the terrible taste. “It’s hard to swallow… and it tastes bad.”

    “N-no way—? I-is it that bad? You didn’t say anything even when you sucked my, my semen-covered cock… so I thought it was o-okay…”

    “I could endure that much, but…” she said, her eyes clearly wanting to rinse her mouth immediately. “It’s too bitter and fishy.”

    “S-sorry! Here, here… rinse your mouth with this.” As soon as he offered the water from the basket, Tia hastily gulped it down and rinsed and spit several times.

    Meanwhile, Fosao rubbed his lower belly, whispering obscenely. “From now on, d-don’t eat my semen. Instead, I’ll s-spurt it all over here, on Tia’s… Hee-hee-hee!”

    “……” Having spit out the water, Tia silently got up from her spot.

    The two, having finished their bath, went up to the second floor together.

    Perhaps it was because of what had just happened. Tia’s expression, as she followed Fosao, seemed a little sulky.

    Perhaps she was very tired, as she lay naked on the bed and sharply turned her back.

    Fosao flustered at the suddenly awkward atmosphere. “W-why are you like that?”

    “……”

    “Surely it’s not because of w-what happened earlier?”

    Tia pretended to be asleep and didn’t answer. However, the slight frown hidden in the shadows… seemed like she was either angry, or just annoyed and wanted to sleep quickly.

    In any case, it was clearly different from her usual gentle and generous self, and Fosao vaguely noticed it.

    Fosao apologized, facing Tia’s pale back. “I’m sorry… Tia. I w-won’t do that again.”

    “…For what?” Her voice was sullen. She wasn’t even trying to hide her displeasure anymore.

    Fosao said, trembling. “You’re a-angry because I made you, you eat my semen earlier, right?”

    “Haa—” Tia let out a deep sigh and said, “…No.”

    “Huh? N-no?”

    “Well—of course, I disliked that a little—but it’s not because of that.”

    “Then—was it because I complained that moving things was h-hard?”

    “Wrong. You always struggle with physical labor, so I didn’t expect much anyway.”

    “Ugh. That stings a little…”

    Fosao scratched his head and asked in a foolish tone, “Then why a-are you angry? I… I don’t really know.”

    Still with her back turned, Tia asked, “Mister… what’s your reason for living with me?”

    “Reason for living together?” It was a simple question, yet it wasn’t. Fosao racked his brain, trying hard to understand the meaning behind it, but his face showed he couldn’t easily find an answer.

    Naturally. Tia was a thoughtful child. Even a casually thrown question held a hidden intention that one dared not call ‘simple.’

    Fosao, suddenly being lectured, stammered out the conventional answer. “That’s because… I l-love Tia.”

    He seemed to know well that any fancy words meant to appease an angry Tia would only make the situation worse.

    “Really?”

    “Mm-hm.”

    “Do you love ‘me’? Or do you love ‘my body’?”

    “That’s…” Fosao trailed off, looking down at the pale shoulder revealed by the pulled-back blanket.

    A beautiful, young woman. Lying naked and warm from a recent bath in his bed. There wasn’t a man alive who wouldn’t get an erection from that. And there wasn’t a man who would say he didn’t love ‘that body’ either.

    “I l-love both. Both Tia and Tia’s b-body.”

    “But mister… is it okay to treat someone you love like this?” Tia pressed Fosao, a man much older than her, with a chiding tone.

    The terrified man begged profusely. “I-I’m sorry… I w-was wrong.”

    Was he apologizing because he truly knew he was wrong? Or was he just begging blindly, afraid that Tia might change her mind? To me, it looked like crocodile tears, without a shred of sincerity, yet Tia accepted that hollow apology without any suspicion.

    “I like it too… having sex with you… because I can feel how much you like me and how happy you are.”

    She curled her body under the blanket. “But… I feel anxious every time you ejaculate inside me…”

    The word ‘anxious,’ unlike Fosao’s glib lies, contained an unvarnished truth. As proof, Tia’s voice was trembling at the end of every sentence.

    “I’m not ready to be a mother yet… and I’m scared to give birth to a baby… Besides, we’re not even married…”

    “Tia…”

    Tia was very afraid of giving birth. It seemed she still remembered the screams of her Aunt Olivia, who had experienced a difficult labor.

    Despite that, Tia liked Fosao. She liked him so much that she suppressed her fear of pregnancy and accepted all of his semen. Seeing Fosao’s joy, she couldn’t bring herself to ask him to use contraception.

    ……But even so, Tia was just an ordinary girl from a mountain village. Carrying a man’s child wasn’t something one could do with simply ‘liking’ him.

    Tia had been driven out of her village and branded a murderer. Fosao was the leader of a rebellion, fiercely hunted by Deseo.

    Because of this, they were in a situation where they had to leave Dragonnez, where they had grown up their whole lives, and move to a distant place.

    The general store’s appearance seemed peaceful and problem-free on the surface. In truth, Fosao didn’t have much in the way of spare funds. Was it three weeks ago he said he’d run out of money for medicinal herbs? Unable to clear the chimney, the house was extremely cold, and for their meals, they barely managed by boiling slowly rotting pork.

    Like the elders who would cluck their tongues and say a village was utterly wiped out if a war broke out. A woman wouldn’t want to have a child in such an uncertain future.

    Moreover, Fosao’s lazy nature surely amplified Tia’s anxiety. Diligent people would work a little more while the sunlight lasted. They lived industriously enough to feel regret watching the sun set.

    But Fosao would snore until the sun was high in the sky, then eat, and before long, he’d be scratching his belly and taking another nap.

    If you lived with a man this lazy… what hope could there possibly be? You wouldn’t find a woman willing to live with such a fellow anywhere in the entire world. Why… why… was Tia living with a man like this?

    Slide— Fosao gently took Tia’s shoulder. And as he pulled, the girl’s body turned without resistance, revealing her beautiful breasts.

    Tia’s eyes were red-rimmed. Her tearful red eyes met his surprised black ones.

    He stammered, “I-I… if Tia doesn’t like it, I w-won’t cum inside. Really.”

    “……”

    “It’s true. I didn’t know Tia d-disliked it that much.”

    In a serious voice, Fosao said again, “I’m sorry for causing you so much distress, Tia.”

    Tia’s eyes widened briefly. And then she rubbed her eyes, sniffling.

    “I love you, Tia.”

    “I love you too… mister.”

    “I-I’ll definitely keep my promise.”

    “Okay…”

    Tia’s tiny pinky, less than half the size, entwined with Fosao’s thick one. And he repeatedly apologized, kissing her cheeks and pulling her into a tight embrace.

    The two of them tumbled onto the bed, tangled together.

    Her sad expression had disappeared, and Tia laughed happily. “Ahahaha… that tickles.”

    “Sh-should I give you a massage? I-it’s been a while?”

    “I’d like that.”

    Fosao yanked off the blanket and sat beside the naked Tia. Then he carefully began to massage her.

    ……I couldn’t understand. Was this the end? Wasn’t there more to say? To tell Fosao not to live so lazily. To urge him to wake up early and work diligently. She could at least tell him to live like a man.

    Tia… forgave Fosao for just one promise: not to ejaculate inside her.

    Tia, whose thighs were being touched, suddenly spoke. “Mister.”

    “Hmm?”

    “When you massaged my legs like this back in Tsyarlak village.”

    “Mm-hm. W-why then?”

    “Even then… did you want to do something naughty with me?”

    Fosao glanced at her, as if gauging whether he should tell the truth. By now, Tia could easily read every one of Fosao’s expressions.

    “It’s okay to tell me honestly. I’m just curious.”

    “T-to be honest… Mm-hm.”

    “Did you want to take off my pants?”

    Fosao looked at where her ‘pants used to be.’ In the small house in Tsyarlak village, when he massaged Tia’s legs, that area had been covered by thick pants. But now, it was completely exposed: her pale lower belly, and a woman’s pinkish genitalia, recently shaved in the bathroom a few hours ago.

    “……Yes.”

    “But you held back?”

    “B-because Tia was a little scared then… I h-held back.”

    “Heh-.”

    The hand that was massaging had by now moved up between Tia’s thighs. Feeling Fosao’s fingers gently brush against the cleft, Tia blushed.

    “If you had attacked me then… I probably wouldn’t have been able to resist.”

    “N-no way—? W-what do you mean?”

    “I didn’t have Rose Shabelle, and my legs hurt so I couldn’t move. And you’re quite heavy, you know. Even if you had just pinned me down and done something naughty… there would have been nothing I could do.”

    He shook his head vigorously. “I-I wouldn’t do that…!”

    “…Hehe.”

    Tia smiled. “That’s why I like you. I was so anxious back then, thinking you would definitely do something perverted… but surprisingly, you only fixed the painful parts and then withdrew, which made me think I could trust you.”

    “I see.”

    “…Just like the ‘promise’ we made earlier.”

    When the word ‘promise’ came out of her mouth, Tia’s eyes took on a distant look.

    ……! At that moment, my body blurred slightly. It was proof that Tia had thought of me in her mind. My heart pounded. Perhaps. Perhaps Tia had remembered her promise with me. The time we swore our love.

    But.

    “Ti-Tia…!” Fosao hugged Tia tightly and pressed his lips against hers. Her distant eyes widened in surprise, then quickly closed, accepting the kiss.

    ……. Simultaneously, my body returned to normal.
