Chapter 44
“…Elise.”
“How could you? You were the one demanding I never abandon you, yet you think it’s acceptable to do the opposite?”
“Ha, Elise…, wait.”
Even as Elise poured out her grievances, her fingertips remained fixated on tracing the sculpted definition of my abdominal muscles.
As her hand drifted slowly downward, my expression hardened with tension.
“Stop, Elise, Elise.”
“Try touching my body and see what happens.”
I had hastily moved to withdraw Elise’s hand when her words made me pause.
Elise pressed her index finger against my trembling skin. Her finger slid smoothly across, coming to rest on the firm muscle of my thigh.
She caressed the surface with a feather-light touch before pressing inward, and my brow furrowed instantly.
“Hah, ah… Elise.”
“Apologize for trying to do something terrible.”
My thigh, tensed with force, had become hard as stone. Elise gazed at the musculature of my thigh—as thick as her own waist—and licked her lower lip slightly.
“…Ah.”
I swallowed a low groan at the sight of her.
It was the first time. Elise had touched me of her own accord.
It mattered not whether her touch was clumsy or practiced. The mere fact that she was caressing my body, that she desired me and wished to feel me—my mind seemed to boil and melt away entirely.
Though she had told me not to touch her, I quietly extended my arm and wrapped it around her shoulders.
“…!”
Her violet eyes widened slightly at the sudden contact, and they were endearing beyond measure.
Before she could issue a stern command, I spoke first.
“I apologize for attempting to die alone.”
At those words, Elise’s lips parted slightly. I imagined pushing my tongue into that opening, ravaging the inside while stealing away even her breath and swallowing it whole.
After a brief hesitation, Elise’s eyes rolled softly as she responded.
“Yeah, I’m sorry too. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I wasn’t trying to break my promise. But….”
Ah. That face, uncharacteristically hesitant, was adorable. I wanted to drive her until her face flushed crimson like a radish.
“…You know. I have a crude mouth.”
Ah, my Elise.
“So, couldn’t you overlook it just this once?”
The moment I saw that gentle face.
“…Elise.”
I no longer had any intention of restraining myself.
I released my grip on her shoulders and seized her waist, lifting her legs to face the wall.
“…What?”
“Please brace yourself against the wall.”
Elise hesitated but obeyed my words.
I gazed upon Elise’s skin filling my entire vision.
“…Forgive me.”
For just a moment, I entertained the thought of confining Elise within this cave forever.
So that only he could desire and consume her.
***
“Ah, ah, hm…!”
Strange. The cool sensation had vanished, replaced by a burning heat that consumed my entire body.
I swallowed the moans that kept spilling from my lips, lowering my gaze.
There, kneeling before me, was Rotar Eisenrit with his tongue pressed between my toes, drool dripping down to glisten obscenely across his cheekbones and jaw.
“Rotar, wait, ah…!”
Slurp, suck. The wet sounds of him drawing and swallowing echoed shamelessly through the vast cave.
Rotar paid no mind whether I grabbed his hair or pushed him away. He kept his grip firm on my ankle, methodically thrusting his long tongue between my toes while simultaneously drawing my toe into his mouth with pursed lips—the sensation was so unfamiliar and intense that I trembled.
“Ah, oh, ugh!”
Was it ticklish, or was I feeling pleasure?
Caught between indistinguishable sensations, my legs threatened to give way. Yet Rotar’s hand supporting my thigh kept me from collapsing.
Throughout, Rotar never once looked away from me. I steadied my ragged breathing and studied my reflection in his eyes.
My face and neck were flushed crimson. To any observer, I appeared as a woman rolling about in bed with a man.
‘But we’re in a cave.’
Embarrassed, I tried to avert my gaze, but Rotar pulled me close and settled me onto his lap. My soft skin brushed against his chest.
Releasing my legs, he whispered.
“Your expression today is particularly wanton. That is what makes you all the more lovely.”
“What, ah…!”
“Your body as well. There is not a spot that is not flushed. If I were to bite you, I imagine you would taste sweet.”
“That is absurd… ah….”
Even as I gasped beneath his rough caresses and tried to protest, his hand seized my chin. His lips met mine, stealing my breath, while his other hand traced down my waist.
“Mm, ah, yes.”
His thick tongue pushed past my parted lips. As he rubbed our tongues together, the force of his sucking caused a slight ache at the base of my tongue.
His free hand had found the prominent curve of my hip. As he massaged the jutting bone, the overwhelming pleasure caused all coherent thought to evaporate like mist.
“Hm, mm…!”
My moans reverberated within our joined mouths before dissipating.
The persistent kiss continued for an eternity. Rotar was a man with a peculiar—no, rather an intensely stubborn nature.
When my breath grew scarce, I struck his chest with my fist. Even as his tongue ached from the friction, he bit his lower lip with reluctance before releasing it.
Then he began placing kisses across my crown, forehead, and down the bridge of my nose, touching me in countless places.
“Are you not hungry?”
Soft sucking sounds punctuated his words. His lips continued their descent along my neck and collarbone, eventually reaching near my navel.
“Mm, ah… a little.”
“I thought I had fed you quite thoroughly.”
“….”
“I jest.”
Smack. Rotar kissed my thigh, then gently bit it with a smile. Slowly, his hand caressed my ankle bone as he spoke.
“We should dry our clothes and explore the geography beyond this cave. First, I must determine where we are….”
Boom. A dull, tremendous sound cut his words short.
It was as though something massive had struck the ground. And the source of that sound was—
‘…Inside the cave?’
Rotar Eisenrit and I turned our gaze toward the corner of the cave. In tense silence, he rose from his seat.
And then—boom. Another thunderous sound echoed through the darkness. This time, far closer than before.
“Shh.”
Rotar Eisenrit pressed a finger to his lips and pulled me behind him.
Then, guiding me backward, we retreated to where we had been.
Boom. Boom. The sounds drew ever nearer. At this point, one possibility crystallized in my mind.
‘A monster?’
At the speed it was approaching, even if we fled the cave, it would catch us. Besides, without properly dressing, leaving the cave would be suicide.
Rotar Eisenrit gathered the clothes and sword scattered nearby and extinguished the campfire. Darkness swallowed everything in an instant, rendering the path ahead invisible. Fortunately, I was holding his hand.
He pressed himself against the wall beside me, sword raised.
And we held our breath, waiting.
Waiting for the owner of those massive footsteps to reveal itself.
‘If luck favors us, it won’t notice us.’
But if fortune turns against us and it does?
There’s no choice then. We fight.
I retrieved my gun from the damp pile of clothes.
And then.
‘It’s here.’
Boom. The ground trembled with a heavy impact. And beyond the corner of the cave, a reddish glow seeped into view.
I gripped my gun tighter, my eyes fixed on the silhouette emerging from that dim light.
And then.
“…A Golem?”
My mouth fell open in astonishment.
A Golem. Though I couldn’t claim to know every monster and creature in this world, I recognized this one. It was far too well-known.
A puppet animated through magic, commanded by its master. The materials varied wildly—from clay to iron—but this one appeared to be sculpted from stone.
“…It must be a Golem with a master.”
Two eyes crafted from crimson gems gleamed at the center of the massive Golem’s face. There was no mistaking their artificial nature.
Where there is a puppet, there is always a puppeteer pulling the strings.
Someone had sent this Golem to kill us.
