Chapter 488: On a Starry Night
Sometimes it’s not bad to sleep while looking at the stars. In general, this is what traveling is all about. I can’t say that I can’t sleep unless I have a roof.
“If we hurry, we can be in Polka before dawn”
“Flying all the way may be good for a dragon’s stamina, but it’s also tiring for the person being held”
“Th, There’s no other men, no one to worry about, so it won’t be long before we’re having an orgy”
“Sex in a carriage is a very cramped and difficult thing to do……”
“Perhaps we should build a carriage with a bed inside”
“It’s not a trip for princes and aristocrats”
“Hoho, to you, it’s nothing more than a decoration, it’s practical. In the first place, there is no reason why I should use a horse-drawn carriage to transport my people. Why not remove the unused wheels and design and build a vehicle with a spacious interior? It’s a dragon’s saddle, what’s wrong with making it special?”
“……Is that so? No, but you know what?”
I almost didn’t question it until just now, but it certainly doesn’t have to be a carriage. It doesn’t have to be a sleeper, but the chairs can be a little more opulent, like a sofa. Instead of forcing luggage to be placed in the same cabin, there is also a way to make it a two-tiered box with a cargo compartment and a passenger cabin. The image is that of a 「Ship」 rather than a 「Carriage」. It is possible to think of the use of space in a more three-dimensional way.
“If we consider that we will put an ogre on board, we can’t make a relaxing shape for a small species. ……No, rather, can we make it based on the ogre’s standard? Chairs and furniture for ogres don’t mean that other species can’t use them……”
I look at the night sky next to the fire that Laila is guarding, toying in my mind with the idea of a new useful tool……that is too big to be called a tool, but whatever it is, it is a tool. A shooting star streaked across the sky and everyone, including the girls, who were all trying to sleep, said, 「Ah!」.
“It’s a shooting star”
“It’s a good omen”
“Hee, is it auspicious at Trot?”
“N, Is it different at Naris’s place?”
“Nn, we don’t have such a vague idea of auspiciousness in the Southern Great Plains. The majority view is that it is the light from which the messenger of the god of the night departs. Sometimes there are many shooting stars in the night. It is the night before a banquet, according to the local tradition”
“God’s banquet……”
That kind of imagination is kind of fun.
“There are some villages that hold their own banquets accordingly. Well, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing”
The other children join in the conversation, still wrapped in their blankets.
“In Afilm, shooting stars are feared as a bad omen, but broom stars are not”
“Ah, that’s true in Renfangas too!”
“Not so much in Arkas, though. Do you know? Broom stars always appear after a certain number of years”
“He? Is that so?”
“It’s true that the 『Qi』 is disturbed when they appear, but……it’s also said to be a way for the spirits to cleanse themselves so that the world as a whole doesn’t stagnate. In fact, after a while, the movement of 『Qi』 becomes rather clean”
“Hohee. I see. The knowledge of a race that has lived for a long time in the field of astronomy is amazing, isn’t it?”
“They say that elves who only look at the night sky are eccentric. There are superstitious elves who say that if you are too busy looking at the trees and not looking at the soil, you will become a dark elf”
“Oh, that’s interesting. It is true that dark elves are adapted to the darkness☆”
“But if it is the elves who live with the earth, it would be foolish to neglect astronomy. The astronomy is essential to the calendar system in particular. It is directly related to the fruitfulness of the earth”
Sharon giggles at Dianne’s words.
“There are all kinds of Arkas elves. Some elves cannot abandon such superstitions, while others, like Berga, protect their country using even the wisdom of dwarves as a weapon. Because of their longevity, elves have the vice of not being able to change even the smallest thing once they believe it to be this way……”
“Yes, dark elves have their share of this. There are so many who are too pragmatic to talk about their ideals”
“I know”
“……What do you mean?”
“Dark elves are often involved with other races and are exposed to a lot of the dirtiness of the world. They get so used to it that they can’t think that it should be better, that it can be made better……and so on. You start wanting to be stable in a lower place”
“When you’ve been doing anything long enough. You want things to stay the way they are. Like in medicine, you want to keep doing what you are familiar with, even when you know that a new method is more efficient. It’s a cumulative effect, and there are many dark elves who are moving to hinder the development of the world just to maintain the status quo”
“Haa……”
The white elves are bigoted and expensive and the dark elves aren’t like that……there are parts of me that simply see them, but there are still similar lesions.
“I think in that sense, the short life span of humans is often a good thing. It must be a pity for the person who has mastered a particular path and has to retire by the time he has finished teaching it to others……but I think it is just the right time for the world”
“It’s true that……will make progress, but it’s better for the world”
I see, I thought and then Neia suddenly popped up.
“……Is that what you mean?”
“Hmm?”
“No……”
Neia put her hat on her face and hid her expression. I felt a little uncomfortable, but it’s also rude to forcefully listen to a sleeping story. After staring at that face (or rather, the hat) for a while, I also close my eyes.
Tomorrow, when the sun rises and Laila takes us to Polka, my vacation-like days will be over. I’ll be a little bit sad about that and I’ll fall asleep listening to the owls in the distance.
———————
The next day, I get ready in the morning mist, get on the carriage and head for Polka.
“Master. Let’s do the 『Morning ritual』”
“In the carriage!?”
“It’s not like we’re going to do a lot of work and all Master has to do is sit there with his penis in the air♪”
“Well, it’s fine, but……why is Sharon already undressing?”
“It’s the same as when I came back from bathing. I had a feeling that Tetes was going to say something♪”
“You went to the river and back naked, no matter how many people weren’t watching!”
“That’s fine, that’s fine☆”
“Ugh, should I take my top off too……?”
“No, Almeida-san, it’s okay if it’s just a little bit, so please stop the knight chief. If you leave it to Tetes-chan’s glue, it will always be an erotic space as it is!”
“I am, however, a female slave. And I deserve to have my dirty deeds done to me all the time”
“Please be in moderation! I’ll give up having slutty erotic fun while relaxing at this person’s house or something!?”
“Lazy……erotic play……u, umm. As expected of Naris, the way you say it is obscene
“What do you mean by slutty?”
“Naris, shut up. It’s a small space, so don’t yell”
“I’m a class above you, Luna-chan! At least don’t call me that!”
Naris’s comments were still going strong as Tetes and Sharon took turns sitting on top of me.
“Why don’t you just give it up already……”
“The morning ritual shouldn’t have covered Naris and Neia in the first place”
Anzeros and Aurora grumbled while taking off their underwear.
“Actually, Dianne-chan is also excluded☆”
“Mu, i, is that so?”
“The reason is that this is a ceremony to make Andy’s female slaves aware of their status☆”
Hilda-san is also gleefully taking off her clothes. Next to her, Dianne-san, who had begun to unbutton her own button, made a confused face.
“……Dianne, please take it off too. I’m going to have sex with Dianne at the end when I put my dick in everyone’s womb. Separate from the ritual”
“I, I’m sorry……♪”
“That’s unfair”
“You’re not going to have sex with me, are you……?”
“I also… want to pour it in at least one more time before I get to Polka……♪”
“Shall I serve you with my mouth♪”
So, in the end, I made the inside of the carriage covered with cloudiness again.
———————————–
Polka returned for the first time in a while. No one is surprised when Laila and Maia get off in the vicinity of the town any longer. The female slaves and townspeople who had remained in the town came to watch the disembarkation, wondering where they had been watching. But.
“……I can’t get off because I’m in a terrible state again”
“Ho. What are you going to do?”
“S, Somehow buy me some time until I finish getting dressed……at worst, even if it’s just the men, please do something with illusion magic that blinds them”
While whispering to Laila, we once again cleaned the stench and liquid-covered carriage and changed clothes at the same time.
“That’s why I told you to be moderate!”
And Naris is active on all fronts in helping with the cleaning and changing. The other girls were a little hazy in the aftermath of the sex, though.
“You know, Naris-chan”
“What?”
“I’m sure you’ll be a worthy slave to rival Selenium-san in the future♪
“Why are you talking on the premise that I’m going to be a slave!?”
Ah, the stable duo comedy. I glanced outside through the wooden door of the window and saw Laila descending in front of the carriage in her human body (completely naked) and asking the townspeople for a drink. The attention was certainly focused, flustered by the imposing exposure. When everyone had finished getting dressed, we decided to get off quietly so as not to attract too much attention. The idea was to let everyone go to the hot springs to get rid of the smell. But we were not fooled by the hustle and bustle surrounding Laila, as a young boy and a young elf woman spotted us and ran up to us.
“Oh, what are you trying to sneak away from, Andy!”
“Hello, thank you for your help……uh”
“……H, Hey Rikaa!?”
“I, It’s alright……just a water bottle”
“L, Look”
The elf woman……Rika folds her body as if nauseated, accepts the metal canteen from Sahul and carefully drinks it with a shaking hand against her mouth.
“Are you all right……?”
“Pu, haa……I, I’m fine, but this is the kind of thing that bothers me”
“Damn……Rabines”
Sahul stomped on the ground in frustration.
“……I’m back, I mean, are you okay, Rika-san?”
“The big clan leader said she needs to do more research before she can completely remove the drug itself. She said they’re using some kind of nasty ingredient that lingers for a long time……”
“The big one? You mean the cherry blossom one?”
“Yes, yes. The little one is white, right?”
Christie and Irina are called in a very crude way. A ice ball hit Sahul in the face…….
“Gaa!?”
“As usual, you’re not polite. You are now in a position to beg. You should be respectful to Irina and Christie”
“That hurts, Maia! It’s as soon as we meet!”
It was an act of education by Maia. Rika-san, who managed to recover her complexion, gave a wry smile at the appearance of the two of them.
“……Maybe this is the extent to which Sahul-kun can be just a boy”
“Ah. Why?”
“I’ve never seen a town with so many dragons protecting it”
“……Well, neither have I”
Sahul rubbed the top of his nose.
“Let’s just say hello and let my older sister go to the hot spring. She got hit in the eye on the trip”
“Eh, what!?”
“Terrible!”
Dianne pushed me out of the way and Hilda-san started walking with Sahul and Rika-san, laughing in annoyance, 「There’s no need to be in such a hurry」. After seeing them off, I stretched and turned around. The female slaves who greeted me were Jeanne, Apple, Marone, Oregano and Fennel.
“I’m home, everyone”
