Upon returning to the forest from the witch’s bedroom, the giant leopard was nowhere to be seen.
It probably went on its way, bewildered. Kerry began searching the forest for medicinal herbs.
In a forest this large, there had to be herbs good for treating wounds.
“Found them!”
Not long after, he found the herbs. These should heal Victoria’s ankle. To prevent infection, it might be better to refrain from sex… That’s probably impossible.
Victoria, having just discovered the pleasures of the flesh, didn’t know the meaning of restraint. It couldn’t be helped. They’d just have to do it in positions that didn’t put stress on her ankle.
Kerry carefully looked around as he returned to the cave. Luckily, he didn’t encounter any monsters.
“Kerry! You’re back. I was worried because you were so late.”
“The herbs were quite deep in the forest. But I picked enough. Your ankle will heal quickly.”
“Thank you… I’m always indebted to you.”
I’m the one indebted. She lets me enjoy the sex life of my dreams every day.
Kerry carefully ground the herbs, just as he had learned, and applied them to Victoria’s ankle. Then he wrapped her ankle with large leaves and added a splint. He hoped it would heal well.
“You need to apply the herbs once a day. And now, to prevent infection… sex…”
“Reduce it? That’s impossible. I’d rather it heal a little slower. I’ve grown quite fond of this place anyway, and I don’t mind going home a little late.”
“I knew you’d say that. I also meant we should have sex in positions that don’t strain your ankle.”
“Oh, I see. That’s fine then.”
As soon as they talked about sex, Victoria, seemingly aroused, gave him a suggestive look.
I’m tired from just getting back though.
“…Kerry”
When I pretended not to understand, Victoria began to seduce me with a seductive voice.
Victoria was still shy about asking for sex directly.
So when I avoided her like this, she had a way of communicating her desires.
She made a hole with her hand and made a lewd gesture of poking it. The sight was so cute that I hugged Victoria tightly.
“You’ll do it, right?”
“Of course.”
“Kerry, yours is really the best.”
A blissful sex life with Victoria began. Victoria became more and more sexually adventurous with each passing day.
With this much libido, how did she remain a virgin for so long?
“I am the eldest daughter of the Bellarus family. If a noble were to behave promiscuously, it would bring irreparable shame to the family. Besides, there are many eyes watching in the castle. And since I’m always with my maids, I didn’t really have much time for such thoughts.”
“But it turns out you’re quite a pervert.”
“P-pervert, I’m not! I’m just making up for lost time after realizing how good this is… Besides! You’re enjoying it too, so why am I the only pervert?”
Grumbling, Victoria continued to suck my penis. She sucked hard, with slurping sounds, her cheeks hollowing with each pull.
“Mmm. This feels good. Swirl your tongue while you suck.”
“Like this?”
“Wow. You learn quickly.”
“Heheh. I have a good teacher.”
And so a week passed. Victoria’s ankle, which had already been healing to some extent, began to recover rapidly.
Now she could not only walk but also run without any problems. The medicine worked well.
But strangely, as her ankle healed, Victoria seemed to become more and more depressed.
Even now, Victoria was squatting in the cave, staring blankly at the space we had decorated. How did a noble lady come to love a cave?
“Kerry… Do we really have to leave? Leave all this behind?”
“How else are we going to carry all this?”
“…Can’t we at least take the bowls?”
“Just leave them. There are much better bowls in the castle, aren’t there?”
“It’s different! These are the bowls you and I made ourselves! Not just the bowls. The straw bed we made over there, the furniture you carved for me out of wood. They all hold our memories. Do you really… not care about leaving them behind?”
“…”
It’s funny, but it wasn’t that I didn’t have any attachment to this place. I had fond memories of making the bed with Victoria and jumping on it with joy.
I remembered the time Victoria sulked and wouldn’t talk to me for half a day just because we broke a few clay bowls.
But they weren’t exactly things we could carry around.
“…Can’t we stay here for just one more week before leaving?”
Victoria said this with a gloomy expression. Seeing her like that, the words “Okay” rose to my throat, but I swallowed them. We were already several days behind schedule.
The jungle sex life ends here. It couldn’t be helped.
“Why do you hate going back so much, Victoria? The castle has delicious food, maids, and a clean room.”
“Being here with you was more enjoyable than all of that. Playing when I want, sleeping when I want. And… doing it with you when I want!”
“But when I return to the castle… I have to become a solemn and perfect noble again. I have to be mindful of every little word and action so that no one looks down on me or sees my weaknesses. You don’t know how suffocating that is.”
“Victoria…”
I hadn’t realized Victoria, who seemed so perfectly suited to noble life, had such difficulties.
Kerry opened his arms wide as if to hug Victoria. Just as Victoria ran to embrace him, Kerry flicked her forehead.
“Ouch! Why did you hit me? Hitting a noble!”
“And now you’re talking about being a noble? Victoria, I understand that there are difficulties in being a noble. But that’s a privileged complaint. There are many commoners who worry about having enough bread to eat every day.”
“…”
Victoria, who cared so much for commoners, would know that well. Her complaining must mean she really didn’t want to go back to the castle.
“…Then…”
“Then?”
“When we return to the castle… will you be my friend?”
“Of course. We’ll be friends no matter where we are.”
At those words, Victoria smiled brightly, as if relieved. Then, with a playful expression, she made the gesture of making a hole with her fingers and poking it.
It was Victoria’s signal for wanting sex. We just did it…
“Since we’re friends… you can do this with me often, right?”
What Victoria wanted was closer to the technical term “fuck buddy” than a friend, but I didn’t bother explaining.
“Yes, of course.”
Victoria finally got up and started gathering her belongings. I saw her secretly packing her favorite bowls, but I didn’t say anything.
We finally left the place we had grown fond of. Victoria looked back several times at the receding cave as if reluctant, but she didn’t stop walking.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
As he walked, Kerry realized he, too, had a reason for being uneasy about returning.
He had become quite close with Victoria, and he was worried about Natasha’s reaction upon seeing them together.
‘No, why should I worry about that? It’s not like I cheated on her.’
In truth, Natasha calling him “husband” didn’t make him her actual husband.
But I was already worried about what would happen next, as if I had actually cheated. Was this the effect Natasha was aiming for?
If so, it was an undeniably effective strategy.
Just then, as if sensing Kerry’s worry, Victoria spoke.
“When we return… I won’t tell anyone about what happened here.”
“…”
“I, too, have my pride as a noble. So you don’t have to worry. Your wife will never find out about us.”
“Wife?”
“That redhead… Natasha, was it? Isn’t she your wife? I saw you two together every day, calling each other husband and wife. I already know, so you don’t have to pretend.”
Her again?
“…Natasha is not my wife. It’s complicated to explain, but somehow she started calling me husband. Anyway, that’s it.”
“!”
Victoria looked shocked, as if she’d heard something unbelievable.
“I… I didn’t know that, and all this time… I thought I was stealing a married man… How could this…”
“Pfft!”
I burst out laughing at Victoria’s ridiculous misunderstanding. It seemed she had been feeling guilty about stealing a married man.
Seeing me giggling, Victoria sulked and punched my arm. Of course, it didn’t hurt at all.
“You’re such a tease. Anyway, do you know the way back?”
“Victoria, make that shocked face again. It was hilarious…”
“I asked if you knew the way back!”
Victoria deliberately changed the subject. Seeing her blushing with embarrassment, I decided to stop teasing her.
“I was thinking of following the river we fell into upstream. We don’t know which way to go, and if we wander around carelessly, we might end up in an even more remote place.”
“You’re saying following the river will help us avoid remote areas?”
“Yes. There are many villages along the river. If we find a village, we can get help or at least ask for directions.”
“Kerry, you know a lot for a non-noble.”
Kerry and Victoria went to the river they had initially fallen into. And they began to head upstream, in the opposite direction from which they had drifted.
It was quite a walk, but Kerry was used to hardship, and Victoria’s ankle was healed, so there were no problems.
As they walked, dragging their slightly heavier bodies, Victoria splashed water on him playfully.
“That’s cold.”
“You’re making such a long face, it’s killing the travel vibe!”
“Well, this is more of a shipwreck than a trip!”
“To lighten the mood… what do you say?”
Victoria gave him the lewd hand signal again. She’s totally addicted to sex!
“We won’t be able to do it as often once we get to the castle, so shouldn’t we do it a lot while we can?”
“So that was your intention…”
However, Kerry looked at the sky and shook his head. It was already getting dark.
Dangerous monsters were more active at night. They had already prepared food and water, so finding a safe place to sleep was the priority.
“Look… I see a house.”
“What? There can’t be a house in a dangerous forest like this…”
Victoria was right. Of course, it wasn’t an ordinary house. It was a house built of planks on top of a giant ancient tree.
It seemed like a relatively safe place to spend the night.
“There’s even a ladder to climb up to the house… Someone definitely lives there.”
“But will it be okay? It’s not easy to ask strangers to let us stay the night.”
“Heh heh. Leave that to me. I don’t know where this is, but they’ll know the name of the Bellarus family. Just watch the prestige of my family name at work.”
Victoria took a deep breath and shouted.
“Is anyone there! I am Victoria, eldest daughter of the Bellarus family. If anyone is there, come down and talk! I promise we won’t cause any harm.”
Not long after Victoria shouted, a window opened wide in the treetop house.
Then, an elderly-looking man poked his head out.
“Huh? Bellarus-what? Is that something you eat?”
Victoria’s confident face turned bright red.
