Chapter 230 – World Wide Web ❤❤
I turn around with a raised brow. Codae freezes as she spots the motion in the corner of her eye, currently leaning forward and in the middle of transferring one of the replicas from Sirgia to herself. The rosy flush spreading on her cheeks is gaining colour damn quickly.
She jolts back to action when I move closer. “I swear, it’s not like tha—”
Chuckling, I pat her on the shoulder. “Relax. This wasn’t a test or anything. To be honest, I was actually going to bring up something like this before we left. I don’t want you to feel too lonely on your own, especially since you don’t have any other ladies to share that need with like some of my long-distance mates.”
A relieved sigh escapes her lips but she still sends uncertain glances at me and the perfect copy she’s currently rotating in her fingers.
“I’ve obviously made use of my fingers during worse days, but I would appreciate… something like this…” the chieftess admits, subconsciously licking her lips. “But, don’t worry, I definitely still prefer the radiating warmth of real flesh.”
Sirgia taps the bottom of the replica with her finger, a cheeky grin adorning her mischievous expression. Codae’s eyes bulge out once more as she stares at the fake cock in her grasp. I’m fairly sure this little devil has just turned on a sigil that heats the core of the toy. The disbelief is so vivid on the Raccoonkin’s face.
She then turns to me. “I… I…”
Snickering, I shake my head. “No matter what, you can enjoy yourself with this and possibly many other things to the fullest. In the end, I was the one who made Sirgia produce these, even if she’s long surpassed my initial designs, and I wasn’t initially aware of this particular model’s existence.”
My petite lover looks away guiltily so I reach out to lovingly caress her hair. Sirgia leans into my touch, smiling shyly as she twirls her slender fingers over the second replica. The sight of her delicate touch results in a slight tent in my pants since I don’t intend on stifling my reactions anymore, being behind closed doors and so on. It doesn’t escape her, of course, and her brown eyes sparkle with excitement and anticipation.
She spirits her copy away and glances up at the still mesmerised Codae. “So, would you like to see if it’s able to give you enough satisfaction to endure cold lonely nights?”
The taller girl’s gaze snaps to her. “Now? Here?”
“This is most likely the most secure and private room in the whole village,” Sirgia states. “There is no better place, and also time. You can see for yourself if using it bothers Master. Or are you too embarrassed to let him watch?”
Our eyes meet and I can see Codae considering it intensely. “I’m not sure if I know how to properly use it… It might not be worth watching…”
“It’s easier than you think.” My short lover steps closer, grazing the copy with her palm. “I’ll give you a hand.”
As she’s saying it, she looks at me, rubbing it up and down. The chieftess follows her gaze and finally spots the pronounced bulge, biting into her lower lip heavily. That seems enough to gather her courage and she nods decisively.
Sirgia smiles proudly and pulls Codae’s hands lower. Still peering at me, she brings her face to the toy and her lips part. The Beastkin girl’s eyes widen slightly as she realises what the Dwarf is aiming for moments before a tongue trails up the length of the dildo. This little pervert is already playing games with me.
“Let’s give Master a good view first,” she says and pulls the other lady towards the bed by the cock they both hold.
Codae doesn’t fight it and they reach the edge, placing the toy down for a moment. My shorter mate starts sensually undressing her partner in today’s show and the co-host soon reciprocates the gesture. I observe intently as they slowly strip each other piece by piece, ending up naked and wanting in a short while.
Well, almost completely naked.
The raccoon girl still wears the belted harness decorating her athletic frame, which catches Sirgia’s attention. “It looks so good on you.”
“Thanks.” The chieftess shows a genuine smile.
“And it can be so useful.” Siriga nods thoughtfully. “Have you had Master fuck you while attached to the ceiling?”
Codae blinks at her owlishly, and her jaw drops. “That’s… not something I thought of…”
But, judging by the intrigued gaze I receive from the gorgeous female, she is very much looking forward to that.
Oh, she’s going to love sex swings.
Sirgia giggles cutely. “We can work on that later. Now, I think we should gather data on which we would be comparing the replica to the original. And it’s always the best idea to find the freshest set available.”
The fluffy-eared woman swallows thickly, knowing exactly what that means. Both women turn to me, or specifically, to my waist. Not wanting to disappoint, I hastily worm my way out of the top of my apparel and take a second to pull down my pants. They instantly lock on my bobbing member with equal hunger.
As I reach the bed, my new companion is already sitting on its edge expectantly, her tail swishing over the sheets in a show of pure elation. I can also see her currently hidden slit already adorning the bedding with glistening nectar. When my cock stops right before her face, she waits patiently, looking up and down as her nostrils flare.
“That’s my good girl,” I whisper softly, making Codae shiver.
“I am, sir…” She almost whines. “All your good girl…”
She lifts her chin, clearly offering me the collar wrapped around her beautiful neck, but I have a better idea. Sirgia clearly reads my mind as she appears next to me with a black leather leash already in hand. Codae spots it and flushes even heavier, but she doesn’t withdraw her offer, her fingers grasping at the sheets strongly.
Taking the belt off Sirgia’s hands, I attach it to the collar and roll it around my fist. Bit by bit, it drags Codae closer until my tip is at the edge of her lips. With one more tug, I split them apart and she happily slides me inside, closing her eyes in delight. I let her swirl her tongue over the tip for a moment before pushing a bit deeper.
My proud chieftess licks and sucks at my length almost devotedly. When she opens her fierce eyes again, she pauses briefly, spotting Sirgia looking at her from my side with a satisfied smile. But, she doesn’t let it distract her for long, slurping at my cock a second later, focusing her attention on making me feel good.
Unfortunately, she is distracted again soon after and freezes. Another dick pops out next to mine. One glance at it reveals the base held by slender fingers belonging to none other than its creator. Sirgia tries to hold it in the same position as mine is directed at, and when she notices my curious gaze, she instantly turns red as a tomato.
Chuckling in amusement, I pull Codae off my length and redirect her to the replica. To her credit, she whimpers only faintly before wrapping her lips around the copy and giving it some good attention too, her eyes locked on mine to judge my reactions.
“So this is how I look below you, Master…” my genius lover murmurs under her breath, flushing hard once more when she realises it.
“I’ll bring you a mirror next time,” I tease her a little, using my other hand to play with her hair. “We aren’t yet at the stage of making our own tapes, not to mention POVs.”
Knowing her, though, it will take no time for Sirgia to customise Illusion Magic to achieve that goal, perhaps with the use of a few nifty artefacts.
Not wishing for this to become a chore for Codae, I pull the chieftess away from the replica. “Any thoughts?”
“It’s… good,” she admits, giving me a sheepish smile. “But still not as good as your penis, sir. It lacks some important features.”
“What kind?” Sirgia tilts her head, laser-focused in a blink.
“Well, for starters, it misses that potent musk this one emanates.” Codae hums as she takes a whiff of my cock, giving it a few affectionate kisses in return. “And while it’s warm and tender, it doesn’t throb when I do a good job. It makes you excited when you know you are making your male twitch, you know?”
My inventive mate nods repeatedly, for sure taking extensive notes in her brain, tons of ideas already swirling inside it.
I honestly didn’t expect such accurate feedback so it surprises me a tad, but I grin widely down at the dutiful lady. “That’s going to make a lot of girls happy in the future. You’ve earned a reward, don’t you think?”
Codae perks up at that and licks her lips. Holding on to her leash with one hand, I grasp her hair with the other and line myself up. She opens her mouth in anticipation and swallows me whole with a shudder. A few moans escape her throat as I nail it slowly, the collar making it even tighter as I yank on it. Sirgia stares at me boning our new friend hard with her cute lips forming a surprised loop, clearly liking what she sees.
I like it quite a bit too.
So, I don’t hide how amazing it is and groan openly for my raccoon lover. My fingers rub one of Codae’s ears as she devotedly uses her throat on me like a good mate that she is. Her hand has wandered between her legs and is rustling the wet sheets down there as she rubs herself good to the experience, not slipping any digits inside yet, most likely saving it for something much better.
“Here it goes, a luscious taste of wonder for you,” I announce and pull a little bit back.
She understands why right away and adoring gratitude gleams in her enchanting eyes. Back to being able to swirl her tongue all over my length and suck on it properly, she shudders in bliss as my cum fills her mouth in waves, coating her tongue and the back of her throat. She keeps bobbing back and forth until the last drop, then unhurriedly gulps the received gift down in a few parts, still making out with my tip.
Popping me out of her embrace, she lets out a deep sigh.
“Thank you, sir.” Codae shows a genuine smile. “It was delicious.”
I lean down and slide my hand over her cheek, pulling her into a kiss. The strong female accepts my affection with a little purr, fighting my lips playfully. We nip at each other for a moment before I straighten up and look at her charming figure from above.
“I think it’s time to move onto more direct tests,” Sirgia chimes in, stroking the copy in her hands up and down.
Codae hesitates, glancing between the two cocks, clearly more interested in the real thing, but she nods in agreement, maybe at least a little bit curious about how it will perform.
Before my short lover escapes my range, I share a loving kiss with her too, sneaking a finger down her back until it dips into the heat of her precious place. A sweet moan tickles my lips as she enjoys me playing with her pretty flower.
But, I can’t hold her back for too long and I withdraw after a few good rubs. Now it’s Sirgia who is reconsidering the way forward as she stares at my dick. My bad.
Shaking her head, she climbs onto the bed and grabs one of the belts going around Codae’s chest. The chieftess yelps in surprise as the lithe lady effortlessly drags her further. I snicker lightly at her surprise. Sirgia was strong even before she got my buffs.
The Dainty fingers of my cute Dwarf spread the Beastkin woman’s legs and caress her slit. “You are so wet for Master already…”
“Like you are the one to talk,” I quip, bringing my fingers to my lips to lick her juices off them.
My comment throws her out of her act a bit, making her blush heavily. And I say act because it’s clear that Sirgia is doing her best to push past her usual timidness, knowing that the proud and powerful chieftess before us needs a strong and confident hand to feel comfortable. If she acted meek and uncertain, Codae might feel self-conscious about her desires too.
“Anyway, this is nothing complex.” She recollects herself quickly. “Just imagine this is Master’s cock, but he asked you to push it in yourself by moving his waist. I’ll help you out in the beginning.”
Kneeling between the long and muscular thighs of the Beastkin woman, the dainty Dwarf braces the tip of the replica against her target’s folds and delicately pierces the glistening veil.
“Mmmmm…” Codae hums immediately, her fangs digging into her bottom lip.
I watch as the toy disappears in her pussy up to the masterfully sculpted balls. Sirgia then gently moves it in and out while observing Codae’s face, not going too far until she is sure my new mate is comfortable with toys. Not everyone has to be. We’ve had girls and guests who didn’t feel much from them. Everyone’s brain and body are wired in a unique way.
It doesn’t take long before my petite lover is thrusting that dildo into Codae’s snatch with gusto, creating some quite lewd noises along the way. I indulge in the show, having front seats to one of the best spectacles I’ve ever witnessed. The chieftess opens her eyes and finds me next to Sirgia, unhurriedly stroking my cock to their play.
That seems to turn her on even more as her voice grows louder.
“Ahhh! Ahhh! Like that! Ahhhh! You can be rougher! Ahhhh! He was so much rougher!” She instructs Sirgia.
My petite Dwarf listens to the request and pounds that pussy faster and deeper. My length disappears in that gorgeous slit repeatedly, splashing quite some nectar onto the sheets and Codae’s powerful thighs in the process. The chieftess writhes in pleasure, and after a good minute of being railed, grasps the sheets strong enough to tear them if they were your usual kind of sheets.
“I’m cumming! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!” Codae moans with a deep groan, arching her back.
A bit more of her sweet juices trickle out of her spread folds as my lithe lover continues to poke her good spots throughout the orgasm. A few strong quivers and the fierce leader of the village is panting hard, catching her breath. The copy continues to lazily explore her depths.
“Was this satisfactory?” Sirgia asks kindly.
“It was… different…” Codae answers, sliding her hand down to caress her still-penetrated slit. “But also decently similar… I don’t think you can fully recreate the experience of being roughed up by a Demigod, but it’s definitely enough to keep a female satisfied…”
“Well, it might not have divine powers like Master does, but there are a few ways it can compensate…” My tiny genius smirks devilishly and taps the bottom end again.
“AH!” A sharp gasp leaves Codae’s lips as her eyes bulge out. “W-What?!”
I can hear quiet buzzing and understand right away, smiling amusedly. Seems like this one has built-in vibrations too. That’s certainly going to bring its evaluation up by at least one star.
“Goddess… Mmmmhhhhmmmm…” The chieftess growls sensually. “This is… Interesting…”
As she is relishing in the new sensation, my gaze falls onto one bubbly rump pushed my way, a daintily sealed entrance dripping with liquid desire as it hides between those two plump buns. It’s been left neglected for way too long now so I start crawling towards it on my knees.
Codae chooses that moment to check on me and sees me looming over Sirgia, dick in hand. I grin at her and put a finger to my lips. Her eyes widen in realisation and she nods eagerly. Thankfully, my petite mate takes it as an encouragement to go further with the wriggling replica and doesn’t notice anything until my hands take hold of her petite sides and my member gently enters her wet pussy.
“Oh!” Sirgia jolts as I delicately fill her up, as tight and loving as always, the dildo slipping from her fingers. “Master…”
She looks back at me timidly, and I lean forward to peck her cheek. “You deserve some love too, my charming little Dwarf.”
“If you insist…” she whispers, her cheeks all rosy.
I do, very much. And so I move my hips slowly but surely, stroking Sirgia’s inner walls along the languid motions. She lets out satisfied sighs as I spread her small flower around my cock, massaging her taut passage the way she likes it. Of course, she does like it a little rough like a certain Beastkin too, but we both enjoy making sweet and tender love to each other now and then.
“Ohhh… Ohhhh… Master… Ohhhh… I love you, Master…” Sirgia admits her feelings for me openly, which doesn’t surprise me a little bit.
“I love you too,” I whisper into her sharp ear. “From that brilliant mind of yours to this tight little pussy constricting around me so affectionately.”
Each time I pull back, she grips me so hard it’s a bit of a struggle. But, that makes it great for both of us so I make the best of her narrow channel and hammer into it passionately, using one hand to play with her lovely breast in the meanwhile.
A flash of movement catches my attention and I find Codae with the copy in her hand. She locks her eyes with mine as she holds it against her folds. Staring right at me, she slips it inside with a moan, the perfect depiction still trembling with magic. She starts thrusting it into herself strongly, face flushed as we gaze upon each other.
“Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh!”
“Ohhh… Master…. Ohhhh…”
The bedroom is filled with an ensnaring duet as both girls use their dazzling voices to sound their pleasure. As I pound into Sirgia’s tight hold, my artificial friend hammers into Codae’s leaking snatch. The chieftess shows her feral nature by not holding back from blasting her pussy with its help.
But then, I notice one peculiarity.
As I thrust into my petite lover, she thrusts too. It might seem fairly coincidental, especially as we are both picking up the pace, but no, if I linger inside Sirgia for a little longer, so does the replica in Codae’s channel. She eyes me up intently, and that’s when I realise that she’s imagining herself in the sighing Dwarf’s place.
Armed with that new knowledge, I wrap an arm around Sirgia’s chest and bring her back flush with mine. That arches it a bit as I bring us up. She holds onto my forearm and continues to let out quiet moans of satisfaction as I pump into her from below, both of us standing on our knees.
This change brings the point of our connection in clear view of the hungry Beastkin and Codae’s gaze locks on it in a flash. I continue to shower Sirgia’s marvellous passage in affection and care while our spectator watches my cock rush in and out, mirroring its motions on her own precious parts.
“Ohhhh! Ohhhh! I’m close, Master!” my slim companion announces.
I raise a brow as in challenge and Codae notices it. She doesn’t dare to change the rhythm or pace, but she rams herself with even more power, matching my hammering to the tiniest detail. Her carnal whimpers and moans grow more heated too as she races towards the next edge of pure ecstasy.
Smirking at her knowingly, I nibble on Sirgia’s neck, sensing her approaching peak.
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!” My lover squirms in my arms as her high sends shivers through her body.
I release inside her, offering my short goddess a hot and abundant tribute. As I bury myself in Sirgia’s embrace, Codae sinks the replica in her channel to the very root, her eyelashes fluttering from bliss. I watch her spurt some more love juices while listening to the adorable cries of the petite Dwarf on my member.
When all three of us fully finish, I lay Sirgia down next to Codae and sit on my knees, admiring their sweaty bodies and glistening pussies. One is adorned with a trail of white, making it much more endearing.
“I dare to say the experiment turned out well?” I chuckle warmly.
“No.” My genius artificer pulls herself up a bit, gathering our attention. “We still lack the core data for this activity.”
I cock my head in understanding, mentally agreeing with her observation.
“What are you doing?” the other lady asks.
I return to the present to find her pulling on Codae’s belts.
Contrary to her surprised tone, the chieftess doesn’t resist, and she certainly can. My cunning Dwarf drags one of the loops around Codae’s calf up to the belt going over her bicep, and a metallic click follows. As she lets go, the leg stays pulled up, the Beastkin girl’s knee attached to her side.
A moment later, Sirgia does the same with the other limb, and the confused raccoon lady is put into a very pronounced position just so perfect for some nice mating press. I give her a look, and she sits next to Codae’s waist, using her dainty fingers to spread the tied-up girl’s flower so invitingly for me. Glancing at its owner, I find a very eager gaze and lots of movement from one certain striped appendage.
“What you don’t do for science.” I chuckle and plunge myself into Codae’s inviting depths in one go.
“Ahhhhhhhh!” The chieftess lets out a sultry cry, struggling in her impromptu restraints.
Naturally, I don’t think this harness or the magnetic belts Sirgia used are anything special, therefore she should be able to snap them at will, but that doesn’t happen. Our Beastkin lover keeps herself in check, wriggling and writhing only as much as the bindings allow her, showing just how much fun she has with the scenario.
Gripping her muscular sides, I pound her incredible pussy into the mattress, my front slapping into her powerful thighs. Due to the quite stretched angle, her fluffy tail tickles my jewels in the process, swiping against them during its felicitous swaying.
“Ahhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! The real thing! Ahhhh! Is so much better! Ahhh!” the chieftess announces.
“I’m sure it is.” I chuckle and take a peek at my lithe mate next to us who is watching me ravage the beast lady ferociously while delicately rubbing her sweet little nub. “But you should give due credit to the replica’s creator.”
Sirgia finds my eyes at that curiously, giving me an opportunity to lean her way and pepper her lips with affectionate kisses.
“What do you say about showing your gratitude with something other than words leaving those supple lips of yours?” I ask the female beneath me.
Codae needs just one glance at Sirgia’s nude form, specifically her glistening privates, before turning to me. “For you, sir… Anything… Mhmmmm…”
I wink at her and guide my sweet Dwarf ahead. She isn’t yet perfectly clear on my intentions until I flip her around to face me and bring her thighs to the sides of Codae’s cheeks. Sirgia’s face flushes again just then, but she holds my proffered hand and descends with her dripping slit onto the awaiting mouth below her.
“Ohhh!” Sirgia shudders and falls forward, crashing into my chest.
Our eager partner doesn’t waste time before employing her flexible Beastkin tongue to work on the fragrant flower before her. Having my lithe wife support herself on me as she relishes in the fierce licking, I hammer Codae’s needy pussy in response, thrusting even stronger into her.
For a little while, we are simply a loud and fairly lewd geometric triangle of motion including shoving, licking, and shivering. After all that stimulation from the copy, it doesn’t take Codae long to start tightening around me. Judging by Sirgia’s strong hold with her arms around my chest, she is approaching her high quickly too.
So, keeping up the pace, I use one hand to help my moaning Dwarf straighten up and we join our lips in a loving kiss. She starts rubbing her slit all over Codae’s face to allow the chieftess to drag her tongue over both her sensitive folds and hidden pearl. My fingers play with her soft breast, tickling her nipple gently.
Yet, it’s the female beneath us who races past the finish line first. A loud, reverberating cry reaches us, muffled by Sirgia’s soaked pussy, and a great squeeze assaults my member. I groan deeply and burst, flooding Codae’s insides with an abundance of creamy delicacy, coating her thirsty passage in white.
My Dwarf lady doesn’t fall too far behind as the vibrations coming off Codae’s lips do wonders for her and she grows stiff in my hold. A strong shudder passes through her lithe body as she moans into my mouth quietly, still trying to continue the loving dance of our tongues. One after another, each of us rides our highs to the end, slowing all the movements to a full stop.
Pulling Sirgia off Codae’s face, I let the chieftess breathe properly, laying the gasping Dwarf next to her. As I’m extracting myself from her warmth, I check the locks, quickly understanding that they work on mana, and pry the metal clasps open, freeing her limbs too. Both girls lie on their backs and pant heavily, turning their heads to face each other. Then, they look at my crotch in perfect sync.
Chuckling to myself, I shrug and climb between them. Lowering myself a little, I position my cock in front of their faces and both of these incredible women bring out their tongues to clean it all up of our mixed juices. They keep their focus on my eyes while flexing those hot muscles skilfully.
After there is nothing more for them to lick off, I take away their favourite toy and fall behind the shorter girl. Sirgia snuggles to the crook of my neck, pressing her petite frame into me cordially. I nod at Codae, who wriggles herself closer and locks the cute Dwarf between us, pressing her considerable breasts into Sirgia’s back as I offer her a fluffy kiss too, running my hand all over her figure and giving her tender rump a good squeeze.
“So, will it do?” I raise a curious brow at her.
“It will.” The chieftess responds with a felicitous smile. “But, I’ll definitely miss this…”
Reaching lower and releasing a pleased sigh, she brings her fingers up, coated with my freshly deposited cum. Watching me intently, she licks it off with crimson cheeks. I guess she enjoys being filled up rather a lot.
Glancing at the reaction of my genius inventor, I can already see gears turning in her inconceivable smart mind. Give it a week or two and these copies are gonna shoot some kind of a sugary mix of a similar consistency, I tell you.
“But overall, thank you,” Codae continues, recapturing my attention, her palm caressing my cheek. “For being okay with this. Many Beastkin males would be furious if they found out their dedicated female was using something this closely resembling their manhood instead of waiting for the real thing.”
“We wouldn’t need this if I could visit at any time to fuck you into the floor but we all know it’s not yet possible, save for dream visits,” I smile at her warmly.
“Dream visits?” She blinks at me.
“I’ll explain later.” A chuckle leaves my lips. “In any way, use it as you see fit. Honestly, it was crazy hot when you were pounding yourself while I was making love to this sweet lady here.”
Codae flushes, realising that I noticed. “I… enjoyed seeing your penis penetrate her while making myself feel good with the copy too, sir…”
“Good.” I nod at her. “I wasn’t completely sure if you would be okay with Sirgia’s involvement and how things went down.”
Just then, my lovely Dwarf turns around to become my little spoon and faces the Beastkin lady.
“Working together to bring pleasure to your mate is a wonderful feeling.” The chieftess grins a bit. “And your techniques with the replica weren’t half bad.”
“Your tongue is very talented too,” Sirgia responds in kind. “I’m sure Master loved seeing my pussy being eaten out by you as much as I did experiencing it.”
They chuckle together and I smirk softly, happy that they are able to become friends this quickly.
We exchange a few more compliments, talk shortly about the toy and its possible improvements, and finally doze off together in a tight hug. In the morning, I open my eyes to an abundance of grey hair and realise that Codae is snuggled to me very closely, her ticklish breath caressing my shoulder. It looks like Sirgia has snuck out at some point, and one quick ping locates her in the kitchen.
Obviously.
A few ear rubs and tail fluffs wake the raccoon woman too. She asks for a few more minutes of these pleasant rubs and I oblige, receiving tender pecks on my neck in return. But, we can’t stay glued to each other forever and I hoist the gorgeous female into a princess carry. Throwing some bathing robes onto us just in case, I bring my Beastkin mate to the baths and take care of her majestic fur and sexy body.
We don’t fool around much and dress up. Codae still puts the harness underneath her usual attire and I bet that won’t change anytime soon. Sending me a knowing smile with a trace of rosiness on her cheeks, she tugs at a few belts enticingly, earning herself a sound smack on the ass. Recollecting herself into that proud leader persona, she lets me escort her to the dining hall.
Ayumi and Noah are already waiting for us and the food. Mom wasn’t able to convince Sirgia to receive help with breakfast and I’m not surprised. My lovely wife wants to show her skills so badly it feels quite adorable. I don’t interrupt her either and wait with everyone, listening to the witty remarks and prodding from my mother that fly totally over my little bro’s head but cause the chieftess to look away like a bashful girl.
Soon enough, Sirgia pushes a loaded cart into the chamber, and we assist her in setting the table. There are so many different foods I can’t count and name everything. There are eggs, both hard and soft, boiled and fried. Various types of freshly baked bread adorn the woven baskets. A few kinds of fish are set on a long platter. Not to mention all the meat from various animals we hunted on our way here.
All in all, Ayumi is awed, instantly pulling my talented cook into a thrilling conversation as we eat. It’s hard to believe all of this has been prepared by her alone, but I know how many tricks she has up her sleeve. Those stoves and other appliances are nothing normal. Each unit must be a national treasure by this point in time.
No surprise we end up almost overfed by the end of it. We are ready to tackle the day full of energy, just after a few minutes of rest for the food to get digested.
With that out of the way, we climb out of the suitcase. Ayumi and Noah go out together to shop for the upcoming days while I move to check on the progress around the village, accompanied by both Sirgia and Codae. From the looks of it, over half of the walls are done.
As we are strolling through the main market, I spot someone doing something to the ground next to my father’s likeness and approach the pure-blood Badgerkin. “What are you doing here, kind sir?”
He jumps a little and stands up between me and the spot he has been working on.
“Nothing important, My Divine Lord!” The man smiles awkwardly. “It’s just… regular maintenance, yes!”
I squint at him, but noticing one of the Oreads in the distance, I decide to let it go for now, nodding at him in understanding. We catch up with one of Ianthe’s girls and she notices us too, bounding our way with a charming giggle. Her gaze skips to my lips as we both stop so I hold out a hand to the ashen beauty. She rests against me obediently, allowing me to greet her with a little peck at the corner of her mouth, giggling even more.
“How can I help you today, Den Master?” she asks, batting her lashes at me.
“By letting us know how your task is going?” I answer.
“We are following the initial schedule, but there have been slight alterations to the gates and a few other sections so it might shift by a day or two,” she replies.
“That’s alright. Don’t overwork yourselves. Let the girls know I appreciate your help.” I nod appreciatively.
“Thank you, Den Master. We’ll make sure this is our best work.” She steps off me with a polite curtsy and jogs away to continue doing whatever her current objective is.
“If only they could build something that allows you to travel through stone over long distances,” Codae says with a quiet sigh.
While I might be able to do that on my own one day, this brings me an idea.
“Speaking of building, what about transfer gates?” I look down at Sirgia. “I’ve read about those a little in the past. Dwarves had the best ones that could create something akin to a spatial corridor between two locations, allowing for instant travel.”
“That’s true, Master.” She rubs her chin. “But, you must have also read how expensive they are to run. They were used sparingly back in the day, but in the current era, most if not all are inactive, left to deteriorate. The energy necessary to start and uphold a connection like that is immense. Not to mention the necessary amount of endurance and resilience the operators needed. It usually required at least three specialised magicians of the third or fourth Tier sharing the burden, and it was not so good for their health.”
“Okay. What about me? Could I make them work with my Tier and the stats I receive from everyone?” I raise an intrigued brow at her.
Sirgia pauses for a moment and looks deep in thought. “That… might work. You are also a Primordial, so your physique is much more compatible with high-energy manipulation. I believe you would be able to do it. But… The gate needs to be charged on both sides.”
“Right. That complicates things.” I scratch my head, then glance at Codae, who is looking between us with a dose of curiosity and hope. “Wait. What about my close Partners? The ladies who feel for me strongly receive a lot in return. Those stats and the connection to me, especially now that I’m a Demigod, should be worth something, no?”
The chieftess’ cheeks colour a tad, but she shows a hint of a smile. She’s Tier 3 from what I remember, and her Bond is already the fourth level, one step below max. It shows just how much she wished for a compatible mate for so long.
My Dwarf wife takes a peek at her too while racking her wonderful brain. “Maybe… Honestly, we wouldn’t know until we tried… But this might be possible… And you do have mates who love you dearly in far regions of the world so it would allow us to reconnect with them, having at least one high-bond lover in the community to be the gatekeeper…”
“I’m thoroughly lost in all that gate talk, but this means Alastair would be able to visit more often, right?” Codae glances between us, her tail swishing expectantly behind her round behind.
“Not only that. This could establish travel between all the communities Master gained the favour of. In the grand scheme of things, this would not only be good for his mates, but it would also make everyone safer. In a blink, people from all around the world could march to help that one settlement in trouble. Not to mention trade, even.” Sirgia grows more and more excited as she imagines the possibilities. “We have to try. I have to try. Master, I’m going back to the mansion. I need to review what I know and look through some of my old designs. I promise not to take long and not to delay us any further.”
Chuckling warmly, I kneel down to face her properly, placing my hands on her adorable cheeks. “Go and do your thing, love. We will stay here for as long as you need to make this happen. You have my full support.”
She grins at me charmingly and dives for my lips. Our kiss doesn’t last as she hastily jumps back and sprints away, heading for my mother’s house. We watch the dust fall after her energetic charge with Codae, both of us unable to wait for what this little virtuoso is going to come up with.
