Chapter 53: A Story That Doesn’t Matter
It was daytime when they rode the beast.
But it was only at night that they could dismount from the beast’s back.
Even in an environment where it was hard to concentrate, thanks to the girl giving specific commands to the beast, they could at least be comfortable when resting.
The beast, by striking the bedrock with its front paws to create a resting place for them, and shooting beams from the eyes between its two heads to light a fire, exhaled as if it had done its duty before disappearing into the forest.
Half of the girl’s instructions were executed by the beast on the spot, but they didn’t even have the strength to marvel at the sight.
The boy was utterly exhausted both mentally and physically due to a series of events, and the girl had used up all her mental strength while suppressing her heated body and giving commands to the beast.
“…Hoyeon, I’ll just sleep a little. Sorry, but please.”
“Got it, uh. Rest…eh.”
Though they had spent a long time on the beast’s back, the shelter they made was not far from where they ended up.
With search dogs and magic, they would find them within a day at the latest.
Therefore, the girl let the boy sleep.
Normally, he would have kept watch, but this time, she decided to be on guard.
The girl knew the boy had shown great courage, and she had a hunch it wouldn’t take long, which led her to make this decision willingly.
Above all, there was something she needed to do alone right now.
After gathering enough branches right by the river, the girl, who had taken embers from the fire lit by the beast, quickly took off her clothes.
Although she had washed in the morning, being drenched in blood made her want to wash again.
The boy, not feeling the same, fell asleep as he was.
She guessed he was too tired to even think about it.
Though the dried blood turned to dust as she moved, the girl managed to undress and walked into the river with her clothes.
Normally, the water would have been cold enough to make her retreat as soon as she dipped her feet, but her body, in heat, found it refreshing.
Carefully scrubbing her clothes to ensure all bloodstains were gone, she neatly folded them by the fire, then started to wash herself.
The water wasn’t deep, so only her arms and legs were naturally cleaned while washing her clothes.
As she meticulously cleaned her body like her clothes, her hand accidentally touched her own crevice.
“…Hic. Hieu…?”
It felt like an electric shock but different, causing the girl to freeze naturally.
She didn’t know, but her body was in full heat due to being near a male.
Nothing happened because she was ignorant and the boy was exhausted.
However, unaware of this, the girl deliberately and carefully touched her crevice again.
“…Heu…Huu…”
What she was doing was clearly masturbation, yet she hesitated.
When she was 15, her curiosity about her body and sexual desire led her to masturbate alone at dawn, only to be caught by her mother, leaving a strong trauma.
However, as waves of pleasure struck her mind again, the fear that her mother might be watching vanished from her thoughts.
“Heu…A little, huu… more… more…!”
Awkwardly rubbing her crevice, she naturally moved her other hand to her peak.
It’s just washing, she deceived herself, tracing back to a distant memory.
The first naked woman she had seen in her life. And the image of that woman masturbating, which she had watched entranced.
Though the face was now a blur, she remembered the posture vaguely enough to mimic it.
Sitting with legs spread, rubbing one crevice with one hand while pinching her peak with the other in a vulgar pose, the girl could no longer think.
More.
Just a little more.
With unfocused eyes staring into the void, surrendering to her instincts, the girl reached her first female orgasm of her life.
“Hyaaaah…!”
She felt something leave her body, dimly aware amidst the whirlwind of ecstasy.
However, with her lower body submerged, there was no way to confirm.
The hands that had been moving vigorously stopped, and she slumped to her knees, lost in the afterglow before regaining her senses much later.
Realizing her legs trembled not just from pleasure but also from the cold, she staggered back to near the fire.
More collapsing than sitting, she positioned herself by the fire.
As her chilled body warmed up, she could think again, but all she could recall was the earlier pleasure.
A happiness that felt like her mind was flying away, incomparable to her time as a boy.
Though there was a slight bitterness in not being able to feel or give such pleasure, she realized even that thought was being drowned out by pleasure.
Eyes closed tight, one more time?
Despite her body now warm and dry, the naked girl pondered whether to do it again.
After long deliberation, she picked up her clothes and started to dress hastily.
For that moment, she trembled, realizing she had almost become the female who only knew pleasure she so feared.
It was an accident due to being in heat and a special situation, she rationalized, returning to where the boy slept.
She had scattered magic to keep away any creatures, so no beast would approach.
Thus, ignoring her body’s call to accept male seed, the girl fell asleep.
***
It was noisy.
Specifically, the sound of dogs barking and people shouting was ringing in her ears.
Who the hell is making noise this early in the morning, she thought briefly. Then, she realized it was Anya’s voice.
“Hoyeon! Dogeon! Please… answer me!”
Piteously calling out, I had no intention of leaving things that way forever, so I got up.
I thought I’d be all stiff since I had only laid a piece of grass over the stone floor, but I felt as light as if I could fly.
Huh, why is this happening? There’s no way my body would be this lively after just washing and sleeping.
Dogeon slept next to me yesterday too. Why could this be, I thought deeply, and there was only one reason.
…That thing.
I almost got hypothermia without even knowing it, from that.
…If not for that, there’s no other explanation, but I didn’t want to admit it.
Please, let it be that my body feels light because the heat period is over.
Burying my head in my knees out of self-loathing and shame, a very annoying snoring sound came from beside me.
Dogeon, while sticking close to me despite being covered in blood, was sleeping so well.
It seems he slept well even while I was doing… that.
Feeling annoyed for no reason, I kicked him.
“…Cough?! What, an attack… Hoyeon?”
“Get up. It seems people have come looking for us.”
“…Ah, yes.”
I changed my tone to that of a princess just to scare him a bit, and even in his half-asleep state, he switched to a bowing mode in that brief moment, which only made me more irritated.
Ah, thinking about getting annoyed makes me even more annoyed.
And what about someone else, huh?
Even with a bad physical state, I managed to give orders to the beast to match the conditions, and he goes to sleep without even saying thank you?
Kicking his calf in frustration, I headed towards where Anya’s voice was coming from.
“Ugh… That’s too much…!”
“Wake up, and first, wash off the blood plastered on your face.”
One side of his face, where he had rubbed against my clothes, was covered in dried blood, making it look like a two-faced mask.
He looked puzzled after hearing my words, then, seeing his reflection in the river, he plunged his head into the water and started scrubbing vigorously.
In less than a minute, he came back looking normal, making me think that washing indeed takes longer for girls.
…Pleasure, too, is supposedly felt much more intensely by girls than by boys.
If it felt that good alone, then together─
My lower abdomen twitched momentarily, but since I hadn’t eaten anything from yesterday afternoon until now, it seemed more like my stomach was complaining.
Once we get back to the academy, I need to eat something right away.
Shaking off the weird thoughts from my head, I walked towards the white hair I saw in the distance.
Though Dogeon seemed to be running after me in a hurry from behind, it’s his own fault.
“…Hoyeon…?! And Dogeon too?! You’re both safe…!”
“Of course. Who do you think I am?”
“…Heh, thank goodness… you’re safe… Heh, Anya…”
“You told us to run away…! But you said you’d follow… Wahhh…”
Seeing Anya crying with such a pitiful look while Dogeon comforted her, I, for some reason, didn’t like it, so I squeezed myself between them.
“Still, we came back alive, didn’t we? And no one’s hurt.”
“Hoyeon, sniff… how can you say everything’s fine in front of a bear…!”
In the end, the three of us ended up in a group hug, with only one person making a fuss, but well.
Since it ended well, I guess that’s all that matters.
We returned to the academy with Anya and the people who followed.
