Chapter 877: The Blindfolded Girl’s First Time 1
I sent Charlotte back to her room for the time being and held a strategy meeting in the captain’s office. Though, come to think of it, now that I’ve confirmed her intentions to that extent, I’m not sure there’s much point in strategizing anymore…….
“Did you call me☆”
“Ah, big sister. ……About that intruder girl, I’ve decided to take her on as a female slave after all”
“Oh, I see. Just as I thought?”
Hilda said this as if it were entirely expected.
“Was she really that obvious……?”
“Hmm, I mean, don’t girls from the Northern Forest who follow Andy-kun around usually get happy when you tell them you’ll make them female slaves?”
“That’s a pretty crude standard……”
“Besides, if she wasn’t into it, she wouldn’t be hanging around Andy-kun, a ladies’ man who walks around so openly with a whole bunch of fuck holes in tow☆”
“……I’m speechless”
Before we knew it, the presence of the female slaves, especially Apple and Corti, who openly call themselves meat toilets had become a screening gate for determining whether someone was interested in this environment or had the resolve to handle it. Well, honestly, anyone with a normal sense of decency would run away.
“That’s why I’d like you, big sister, to lend a hand so Andy doesn’t have too much trouble with his first-time girlfriend. It’s unreasonable to expect a delicate girl like her to be held while everyone’s watching……and Andy’s too used to girls with excess energy to be good at gentle sex”
“I, It’s not like it’s that bad……”
“You must’ve had a hard time with Emma at first, since she’s got a normal sense of decency. I heard about it”
“……Yes”
That’s right. Most female slaves come in fully aware of my overly raunchy environment, and they get used to situations where they have to stick their asses out like it’s a competition relatively quickly. I’d come to take that for granted, but it’s definitely abnormal. If you’re even a little slow to get into the mood, it turns into a disaster, a traumatic first experience.
“Umm……that girl……she kind of had……not so much social anxiety, but more like a fear of being looked at, didn’t she?”
“Yeah, apparently she was bullied because of her eyes, so she’s kind of averse to being looked at……”
“Making a girl like that a female slave……umm, well, as a rare breed, it’s not entirely out of the question……but for Andy-kun, who loves making love, sex where you can’t look each other in the face is a bit of a letdown, isn’t it……”
“Well, that part……I’ll take it one step at a time. I think I’ll figure something out eventually”
To be honest, I sometimes think a relationship where I can’t look at her face but her body is fair game might actually be kind of interesting. But as Hilda said, it’s definitely a bit of a niche thing. My idea of a 「Female Slave」 is a loving relationship, it’s not as rough and crude as the term implies. We’ve only just met, but eventually, I want us to get there. If that’s the case, I can predict that if we stay in a relationship where 「Just looking at her face is a struggle」, we’ll never really grow close……someday, we’ll probably find a compromise and things will change. I don’t know if she’ll overcome her fear of eye contact first, or if I’ll learn to be satisfied with her appearance other than her eyes first. There are people in the world who get married while remaining blind. So I don’t think it’s necessarily true that you can’t love each other unless you can look into each other’s eyes.
“Umm……well, for now, how about I try making a suggestion like this?”
Hilda shares a few secret strategies with me.
———————-
Then, I visit Charlotte’s room. It’s the kind of time when she could easily be asleep……or rather, it’s so late that dawn isn’t far off (after all, it was past midnight by the time we returned from the attack on the area around Catalina). Whether she’s a night owl or just nervous, she answered the knock immediately.
“Yes……come in”
“Excuse me for intruding”
Maia and Emma must be waiting nearby, but inside the room, it’s just the two of us. Normally, you couldn’t create a sensual atmosphere unless it were like that. Though most of my female slaves are different.
“So……Charlotte”
“Y, Yes”
When I looked at her, she held my gaze for a few seconds, but eventually shifted her eyes to the corner of my vision. It was like that teleportation-like spell where she briefly loses consciousness.
“Uh, if you could……please not stare at me too much”
“……If you’re going to be my female slave, sex is something you can’t avoid”
“Well……e, emm……if it’s from behind or something, I think I’ll probably be okay……”
“……Do you specialize in doggy style?”
“Y, Yes, if possible”
A female slave who specializes in doggy style. ……When I imagine it, she seems much more deserving of the title 「Female Slave」 than Corti and the others. Come to think of it, there was something called 「Wall-butt play」 in those niche erotic picture scrolls. You know, the one where the woman’s lower body is jutting out from the wall while she’s just being used for sexual gratification. Personally, it wasn’t really my cup of tea. I’m more of a boob guy, so it felt like a waste that it took up so much space without even showing the upper body. Though, if you ask me whether I used it as masturbation material, I did. As for the restriction of not seeing her face, I’ll get over that eventually.
“Emm. This is something Hilda-san……suggested to me. You don’t like being looked at, do you?”
“Y, Yes. It’s not that I dislike it……it’s more that I can’t stand it. ……I mean, I get that there are cat beasts, dark elves, and female slaves with lots of night-vision eyes……I understand it logically……but emotionally, when eyes are focused on me, I just can’t stay calm……”
“Hmm, well……saying I understand might be irresponsible, but I get it a little”
I shouldn’t say I casually understand what became the source of her persecution. But if the pain ingrained in her heart is resurfacing, then I suppose that’s how it is. With that in mind.
“Then how about something like this?”
“……?”
I show her a narrow strip of cloth I’ve taken from my pocket.
“A blindfold”
Right. If you hate being watched, just cover your eyes. Staring into each other’s eyes is ideal, but if that’s not possible, this will do. At the very least, you’ll still be able to hold each other and kiss. If we’re talking about just doggy style, that would shut even that down.
“Generally speaking, women don’t like having sex in a lit room, you know. ……Though for dark elves or ogres in Talc, that doesn’t really apply, but they just hate having their bodies stared at. ……Even so, most couples are satisfied. Sex where you can’t see much is actually quite charming, I’m sure☆”
Come to think of it, since they’re both night-vision races, even if we turn off the lights, they’d still be able to see everything clearly. ……So that might explain why people in Talc don’t seem to have much of a hang-up about nudity, the mystery was solved a bit. So, blindfold sex it is. Thinking I’d step it up eventually, I went to wrap it around my own eyes……but suddenly, the feel of the blindfold vanished. Startled, I looked at Charlotte and saw she’d tied it on herself. No, that’s not what I meant. I was just saying that if I make it clear I’m not looking, we can at least kiss, right? That’s the point.
“…………Emm”
“Well……Smithson-san, you’re……looking at me, right?”
“……Yeah”
“It, It’s okay. ……Why didn’t I realize that? Oh, right, I should’ve done it like this……!”
Charlotte seems kind of moved. In fact, she’s even more excited still wearing the blindfold, she’s waving both hands at me and spinning around.
“Eh……can you see me?”
I thought the fabric was pretty thick?
“I can’t see, but I can move around by sensing your presence. ……Eh, isn’t this kind of thing……usually different?”
“Well, I guess……waving your hands is one thing, but walking around and spinning in circles usually makes you wobble a bit more……?”
“Is, Is that so……I’ve actually walked around with my eyes covered and not being able to see much……quite a bit……”
……As a result of the persecution, I’ve awakened to all sorts of special abilities.
“W, Well then……shall we just have sex for now?”
“……Y, Yes! I think this should work……”
As Charlotte tries to say something, I lean in close and kiss her. First, a trial kiss. If she shows any signs of rejection, it means she isn’t as resolved as she thinks she is, so I’ll ease her into it a little more slowly, this is also one of Hilda’s strategies. Sure enough, Charlotte froze in a daze, and when I pulled away, she blushed as if she’d just remembered something.
“U, Umm, that just now……y, your lips……”
“We’re going to do something way more intense than a kiss from here on out. ……We have to take it step by step, or you’ll regret it later”
“……Y, Yes……o, okay……so this is a kiss……♪”
Her reaction isn’t as bad as I expected. If she’s this uncomfortable with my gaze, she probably can’t kiss anyone else either. This is likely her first kiss. Even though she’s hiding her eyes, she’s such an expressive girl, it actually makes me happy and I definitely feel a connection, so I give her another, longer kiss. Then I take her hand and lead her to the bed.
