DAYS LATER
"Six to Nomah, please."
"Well, one gold coin per person, so it will be six gold coins, sir."
"Here you go."
"Thank you, sir. Please have a seat..."
"Thank you..."
As you can see, Yomogi, Chantal, Kimberly, Pinna, Salacia, and I are at the Griffin Express station, boarding one flight to the country of Nomah. But before we continue the story, let me tell you how we ended up here... and it all happened because of this one moment I would tell you here.
LAST NIGHT
"Hah... hah... I'm the happiest puppy in the world!"
"Prrrr… prrrrrr… no good, if it keeps this up, I'm seriously gonna pass out right here…"
"Motegi-sama..."
"Master, your physical behavior is incongruent with your emotional response. Your hands are offering affection, but your gaze is unfocused, your pupils are not dilated as expected, and your respiration pattern reflects detachment. You're not emotionally present in this moment."
"I'm not cute to him… I'm not cute to Darling… maybe I should just cut these tentacles off…"
I sat on the sofa and pampered Yomogi and Chantal with [Fluffmaster] as usual. My left hand stroked Yomogi's hair, and she panted excitedly, and her tail wagged so hard it thumped the sofa like a drum. My right hand scratched under Chantal's chin, who was stretching across my right thigh, and she melted instantly as her purrs deepened and her claws kneaded lightly into my thigh.
And yes, I could see Salacia curled up on her knees in the corner and pressed her forehead to the wall, whispering gloomily like the world was ending just because I still had no idea what octopus- or squid-type beings liked, which also meant [Fluffmaster] still had absolutely zero effect on her.
However, Pinna's analysis was correct, and it was normal for Kimberly to be concerned about me. My body was doing all of it automatically, but my mind wasn't with Yomogi or Chantal.
I did say that I liked using [Fluffmaster] on them, but I felt like I'd hit some invisible limit right now. Not annoyed, it's just bored, and it wasn't because Yomogi and Chantal weren't cute. They were still adorable in their motherly-wolf and big sisterly-panther ways.
It was just… I wanted something else. Something small. Something I could cradle in my hands or let it curl up on my lap completely. Something I could pet endlessly, that the girls could treat like their precious baby. A tiny, living mascot for our store. Not two full-sized wolfkin and pantherkin women.
And with that thought came another issue. First, Yomogi being wolf-type meant no dog-like pets, and not even foxes. Second, Chantal being panther-type meant no cat-like pets either. Third, there were harekin people in Misdaras, but more importantly, I still remembered the Blood Rabbit, the very first monster I ever encountered in this world that almost killed me... so yeah, anything rabbit-shaped was permanently banned.
And with all the cute, common options like the three of them crossed off the list, I needed to think of something completely new for my pet.
Which then finally, I broke the silence.
"Hey, Kimberly, Pinna, are there pangolins in this world?"
Both women blinked at me before turning to one another, sharing the exact same puzzled look.
Kimberly repeated the word, almost unsure her tongue was forming it correctly.
"Pan… go… lin...?"
Pinna's eyes narrowing.
"Master, that classification is not present in my biological database. Please define what a 'pangolin' is."
"Yeah, well... you know, like... small animals with long tongues, and they could curl into little balls when scared, like living spheres in scales. But I don't want the scaly kind. I want the furry one."
And again, another confusion from both of them.
Honestly, I already knew it wouldn't work. I knew that Acrusse was a fantastical, magical world, but if even Kimberly and Pinna didn't know about pangolins... how could they be supposed to know about the furry ones either?
So, I could predict the creature I wanted probably didn't even exist here... until Pinna pieced something together.
"Master, your description of the scaly variant is nonexistent in Acrusse. However… the furry variant you mentioned does exist. It is not referred to as 'pangolin,' but several traits match your description."
And my heart jumped instantly.
"Wait... it does?!"
Kimberly answered.
"I believe... what you seek… would be... a pilus follis…"
"Pilus... follis, you say?"
"Pilus follis. A rare... monster... native to Nomah. Known... for its... docile nature… perhaps... the least... aggressive creature... on the surface. This time... of year… they lay... their... eggs. But… I'm uncertain... you could... obtain one. They are... terribly shy… especially around... humans..."
"Nomah, huh?"
The desert country where ogres and dragons lived, known for its gold mining and "black gold," which I still believed was crude oil.
So far, I'd visited Misdaras, Heiligeichen, and Oserin. And because my long-term goal was to visit every country in Acrusse someday, then Nomah was naturally next.
I mean, I'd been curious about that country anyway. The gold there would be perfect for my [Blacksmithing] material stockpile. And I also wanted to confirm whether my hunch about Nomah having a Middle Eastern vibe was actually true.
With that, I ended the [Fluffmaster] and declared to the girls.
"Everyone, we're going to Nomah tomorrow."
"Truly, Motegi-chan!?"
"Oh yeah, another trip!"
"What a... wonderful choice…"
"Understood, Master. A highly optimal decision."
Then, I turned toward the gloomy Salacia on the corner.
"Salacia, you're coming too."
She glanced back, still pouting but nodding.
"Yes, darling. I'll come~..."
PRESENT TIME
And that's how this unexpected trip for some rare fluffy ball creature comes up. After we climb in and settle into the cushioned seats of the wooden cabin, the griffin spreads its wings and launches us into the sky.
But since the trip to Nomah takes three hours, that also means I've got plenty of time to do something.
"Ahhhnn…! Motegi-sama… do you like... my milk…?"
"M-Master… my mammary glands… are now in a state of perpetual hyperlactation… overflow is constant… ah…!"
"Motegi-chan, your cock's disappearing between our breasts. It's so cute…"
"Darling, can you feel how soft we are~? Fufufu~…"
Right now, I'm sandwiched between Kimberly on my left and Pinna on my right, feasting on both their milk like a starving man as their sweet, creamy rivers flood my mouth. And down beneath the seat, Yomogi and Salacia kneel on either side of my cock, their huge, squishy breasts pressed together, sliding up and down in perfect unison, and their tongues flicking out to lick the head whenever it pops free between their mounds.
"Yomogi… Salacia…"
My voice is lost against Kimberly's and Pinna's nipples, the vibration sending them squirming.
"Ahh… Motegi-sama…! Your voice… on my nipple… it is too much…!"
"M-Master… vibration intensity… at critical threshold… ahhhn…!"
But Yomogi and Salacia never stop. They talk to each other mischievously, squeezing even tighter and sliding their breasts faster.
"Salacia, look at his face...he loves our titfuck, doesn't he?"
"You're right. He's about to burst, I can feel it… let's squeeze it all out of him…"
I can't hold it any longer. I groan and bite down on Kimberly's and Pinna's nipples as I explode, cock pulsing and erupting between Yomogi and Salacia's breasts. Hot streams shoot up into the air, landing with sticky splats across their faces, cheeks, and chests that cause them to gasp and squeal delightfully.
"Yomogi, Salacia, argh!"
"Kyaa! Motegi-chan, you came so much!"
"Mmm~... you're so generous, darling!"
And my sudden bite on Kimberly's and Pinna's nipples causes them to cry out as their milk gushes into my mouth endlessly.
"Ahhh…!! Motegi-sama… my milk… it's exploding…!!"
"Simultaneous nipple stimulation… lactation... cumming... cannot control...!! Ahhhhn… Master...!!"
Below, Yomogi and Salacia gleefully lap up every drop of my cum, smearing it with their fingers, licking their faces and each other, and sharing what's left.
"Thank you for the meal, darling. I could drink you every day…"
"It's so delicious, as always… Chantal, want a taste?"
"Of course, Yomogi!"
Chantal, who'd been watching, leans in, tongue flicking over Yomogi's offered fingers, cleaning them greedily.
"Mmm... I can't get enough of his cum…"
Finally, I pull my mouth from Kimberly's and Pinna's breasts, leaving them trembling and breathless.
"Haa... haa... Motegi-sama..."
"Master... hhh..."
And of course, this is not over yet.
"Ahhnn…! Darling, you're drinking me so hungrily…!"
"Nngghh...! Motegi-kun, your cock… it's piercing so deep...!"
I'm currently lying on my back on the plush seat, head pillowed in Salacia's lap. My mouth sealed to her nipple as I let my [Milky Touch] activate, making her breasts gush with every greedy suck. Meanwhile, Chantal is riding me wildly, slamming her hips down on my lap again and again, over and over, as she keeps building up her speed. And I also don't forget to activate [Infertile].
"Darling... your mouth… your tongue… it's driving me crazy…! I can't... ahhn...!"
"Aaahhh… my hips… they're moving on their own… can't stop...! Feels too good, too good, Motegi-kun...!"
Chantal slams herself down harder, and Salacia's body shudders as the pleasure becomes too much for me.
"Darling...!! I'm cumming... I'm cumming... aaahhn...!!"
"Me too...!! Motegi-kun, I'm cumming... I'm... aaahh...!!"
"Fuck! I can't take it!!"
I slam my cock upwards as my orgasm explodes, thick ropes of cum jetting deep inside Chantal. Her pussy squeezes tight and squirts love juices all over my shaft. At the same time, I bite both Salacia's nipples, and a gush of her sweet milk sprays into my mouth.
I remove myself from both of them, watching my semen ooze from Chantal's pussy as she lies weakly and her face twists in ahegao bliss, drool slipping from her open lips. And I see Salacia still kneels, but weakly, her chest rising and falling as her milk still trickles from her sensitive peaks.
When I look to the side, the rest of the girls are already waiting, spreading their legs in a perfect M-shape side by side.
"Motegi-chan, I'm next, okay?"
"Motegi-sama… I want your cock... too…"
"Master, my vaginal lubrication has reached optimal thresholds for penetration. Arousal levels indicate full readiness. Please proceed with insertion at your earliest convenience."
"All right, I'm not done yet, so get ready!"
And with that, I continue to have sex with Yomogi, Chantal, Kimberly, Pinna, and Salacia for the next three hours.
THE DESERT NATION OF NOMAH
THREE HOURS LATER
After what feels like no time at all, I feel the carriage finally stop. So I immediately activate my [Aftercare] skill, and instantly, every trace of milk, juices, semen, and sweat vanishes from our bodies and the floor, leaving everything spotless.
"Come on, all of you. Get dressed. We've arrived."
"Hahh... hahh... y-yes..."
The five girls, still limp and panting, nod weakly. I pull my sweater and jeans back on while the girls struggle to slip their dresses over their flushed, shivering skins.
After we finish fixing our clothes and shaking off the last trembles in our bodies, we hear the chauffeur's voice outside of the carriage.
"We've arrived, sir and madams."
He opens the door for us, and he bows at us when we step out.
"Thank you for the ride."
"You're welcome, sir."
A moment later, the griffin lifts off again and soars back into the sky. Within seconds, both rider and monster become dots in the clouds. Then, suddenly, the dry heat hits me square in the face. I just realized that we've really landed in a sea of endless golden dunes rolling in waves.
Right up ahead, it's the city gate that looks like it came straight out of a classic Middle Eastern setting in RPGs. As we walk closer, two ogres guarding the gate come into focus.
Their skin is a deep red, and each one has two thick, curved horns jutting from their foreheads. But instead of wearing kimonos, they wear layered robes, and they wield sickle-shaped swords instead of katanas too. And believe it or not, they look exactly like the desert version of kijin I used to see in the manga and anime.
When we approach them, one of them raises a hand.
"Halt. State your names and present your identification."
Then, the girls and I pull out our identity cards, and that guard takes them.
"Here you go."
Yes, even Salacia has an identity card now, and it was issued by the adventurer guild. Although she's not registered as an adventurer but as a different category called "Special Companion." It doesn't have ranks like adventurers or merchants, but it's still official.
And speaking of Salacia, apparently her kraken physiology still lets her retain moisture by absorbing Water-element mana even in hot and dry conditions like the desert, but only if her owner's affinity is high enough. Since I wield all eight elements, including Water, she's practically tethered to an endless supply.
"Purpose of your visit?"
"Vacation."
"Very well. You may proceed."
Yeah, "vacation" is a better excuse and more believable for this occasion. Because we're not coming all the way out here to find some fluffy animals, we also come here to explore the country.
The moment he returns our cards and we walk past the gates, I'm instantly hit with wonder.
All around us, the city stretches out like a perfect snapshot of a Middle Eastern village. Houses made of sunbaked mudbrick line the winding roads, stacked close together with cloth shades stretched between rooftops, and the walls are faded in warm tones of tan and clay.
More ogres pass by us, some carrying baskets and chatting as they walk. Most wear the same kind of desert-style outfits: draped tunics, sashes, and turbans. A few of them even carry those same sickle-shaped swords on their hips. Little ogre kids are everywhere, they're sprinting down alleys, laughing, bumping into carts, and getting scolded.
When we reach the market, it becomes even more vivid. Stalls are packed tight, vendors stand behind colorful spreads of spices from bright orange to green powders. I also spot fruits and rolls of desert fabric dyed in vibrant patterns.
Behind me, the girls react in perfect harmony.
Yomogi exclaims, practically dragging me toward each discovery.
"Motegi-chan, look! Are those date fruits over there?!"
Chantal mutters with eyes wide.
"So this is Nomah, huh? It's way more intense than I thought..."
Kimberly is equally amazed.
"It's my… first time... here. This country is… incredible…"
Pinna scans the surroundings.
"Conclusion: abundant cultural variance, optimized climate-based trade, and unique flora. This qualifies as a fascinating experience."
Salacia twirls, gleaming.
"Mmm~ is this what a desert feels like? It's warm, but I don't feel hot at all~!"
Yeah, of course you don't, Salacia.
You're like feeding on me.
After a few minutes of asking around, we're directed to a nearby hotel. A squat building with whitewashed walls and thick clay pillars. Inside, a female ogre at the front desk greets us.
"Welcome to Sandstep Hotel. How long will you be staying?"
"Six nights."
"Yes. The price is eight large silver coins for one night. So for six nights, it will be four gold and eight large silver coins in total, sir."
"Here you go."
"Thank you, sir. Here's your key."
"Thank you."
"Please enjoy your stay."
With that, we head to our room. And the moment the door opens, the girls burst into motion.
Yomogi squeals.
"What is this?! It's so comfortable, Motegi-chan!"
Chantal chimes in.
"Oh yeah, I love this room already!"
From the window, Kimberly glances outside to me, and I lean beside her.
"Motegi-sama… I can see… date trees... in the sand…"
"You're right, Kimberly..."
Pinna examines the space.
"Reinforced walls, good ventilation, stable bedding. Satisfactory accommodations."
And Salacia sprawls onto the cushion already.
"Mmm~... not as big as the resort in Oserin, but still pretty good, darling~..."
As they begin changing into lighter clothes, I sit on the edge of the bed and start figuring out where I can find some info on that pilus follis...
