The Seed Thief

Lulu was conflicted by the man’s request. Since he asked for physical freedom, it was clear that her order still bound him.

The question was, what kind of freedom was he talking about?

A magic description she read in a book came to mind.

‘The problems of mental magic arose when the caster and the recipient’s perceptions differ.’

Magic could only temporarily interfere with the mind, not entirely kill one’s will. If she granted him complete freedom, he could attack her, saying that killing was also freedom.

‘So it said to explicitly define the scope.’

Pressing her pounding chest, Lulu cautiously said to the man.

“F-from now on, you absolutely cannot harm me. And without my permission, you can’t even touch a single hair on my head. Understand?”

“I understand.”

Though he obediently answered, his eyes showed a hint of disrespect. Lulu swallowed nervously. It hadn’t been long since he was enchanted, so his mind was likely still strongly dominated. Yet, he asserted his will.

‘Dangerous. It’s dangerous!’

When Lulu began to consider where could she leave the man, he spoke up again.

“Then, can I move freely now?”

“Yes. Now do whatever you want.”

The words seemed to set the man free. As soon as Lulu gave permission, the man who had just been standing still rushed off deep into the forest.

‘Are you trying to flee to the village?’

That would make things easy. Lulu was wondering where to throw him away, but if he returned to the village, there was nothing to worry about.

Lulu realized that the man still had a firm hold on her magic. Although she’d told him to move freely, as long as the magic remained, unforeseen problems could arise soon. It’d be best to release him now.

“Hey! Hey! Wait! I’ll release the magic! I’ll release it for you….. “

She was about to tell him to run away on his own after that, but contrary to her expectation, the man didn’t head to the village. He went into the forest just enough to cover himself and stood with his back to her. She looked at him with bewilderment as he crazily unfastened his pants.

‘Why are you suddenly undressing here?’

Lulu approached the man cautiously, feeling suspicious of his unexpected behavior. Hearing Lulu’s footsteps on the fallen leaves, the man turned around with a startled face and shouted urgently.

“Please stay back!”

When Lulu was about to say that, she was taken aback instantly upon seeing the man’s red face.

“What’s wrong! Are you sick?!”

He was so pale just a moment ago, and now he turned so red. Lulu remembered when she was a child, her body once suddenly became hot and turned red like that.

‘The forest witch said I needed to take a good rest.’

It was so painful that she couldn’t stand up properly back then.

Lulu thought the man had been standing in the same spot all day due to her magic. The forest was cold at night and hot enough to sweat when the sun rose. Yet, unable to go home and constantly standing in this place, he might have caught a cold. So if he was sick, wouldn’t it be her fault?

Feeling sorry, Lulu came a little closer.

“Please don’t come!”

“Why don’t you want me to come?”

If he’d fled away because he disliked her, he could keep doing so, but the man only kept shouting while standing still on the spot. And he kept turning his back on Lulu as if trying to hide something.

She’d ordered him not to harm her, so there would be no killing. Lulu blocked his way with a curious expression.

Her gaze went down to where the man’s hand was rummaging under his clothes. She wondered what he was trying to take out from his pants.

The moment the man undid the last knot on his pants, “Ah..!” he let out a yelp and quickly grabbed what had popped out. However, what had popped out from under his pants was so long that even his large hand couldn’t completely cover it.

“Wow!”

She couldn’t help but exclaim in awe at the magnificent sight before her.

Lulu had seen illustrations of male genitals before, so she thought she knew what to expect.

According to those drawings, it was roughly half the size of her palm. However, the genitals the man was holding onto were undeniably longer than Lulu’s palm.

Was it just the length? The thickness was also enormous. Lulu stared at her own wrist in disbelief, unaware of what she was doing.

And that’s not all. Lulu had thought it might be similar to his skin color, but the man’s genitals were much lighter than his tanned skin and even a pretty pink color. Lulu applauded as it looked much better than expected.

“It’s so big!”

The man’s face turned even whiter than paper at Lulu’s exclamation, his lips clenched tightly to the point it almost turned blue. He looked as if he had just heard the most horrible and humiliating words in the world.

But Lulu couldn’t take her eyes off what he was holding, so she didn’t see his expression. Looking at the pulsing pillar that emerged from the man’s clenched hands, Lulu gasped in amazement.

In the drawing, she’d thought it looked weird. But seeing it in person, the male genitals were prettier than she’d imagined. She wished she had one too.

Lulu genuinely complimented him on his genitals.

“Besides, the color and shape are so pretty! I envy you!”

Lulu thought he would be pleased with her compliment. But contrary to her thought, the man’s expression turned into one that seemed like he could burst into tears any moment. He shouted out loud.

“What, how can you say something like that without any shame…! More than that, please leave! No, don’t look!”

The man backed away in horror at Lulu’s attitude and words. The object in his hand became harder and straightened little by little. Lulu was fascinated by the change, which seemed alive like an animal’s tail, and took another step closer. The man stepped back again and waved his hand.

“Please! No more…!!”

The desperation in his voice made Lulu panic. Was this person hurt somewhere? Why was he acting this way? As the man turned his body away from her and tried to go somewhere else, Lulu commanded him out of concern.

“Stay still!”

“Hmmph…!”

His body suddenly jerked and came to a halt. His face contorted even further.

And that wasn’t all. Cold sweat ran down his cheeks and dripped from the tip of his chin to the ground. His body was shaking, with a series of small groans escaping his lips.

Lulu started to genuinely worry about him. She thought it would be better to not let him go and take a closer look.

Lulu leaned in closer. Of course, her gaze was still fixed on the man’s. Her curiosity was piqued as she saw the big, thick, pretty thing wriggling as if it were alive.

Lulu’s curiosity was explosively growing as she saw something unfamiliar. She hesitated, took a deep breath, and carefully poked it with her finger.

It was hard but also soft. And, it was warm like other parts of the body.

Despite her intentions to only press lightly with her fingertips, Lulu unintentionally grabbed it tightly.

That moment.

“Kkuk…!”

The man shook violently, groaning as if his soul was being crushed. Surprised by his intense reaction, Lulu quickly let go of what she was holding. She regretted it inwardly.

Lulu remembered a flower she had unconsciously plucked once, thinking it was pretty. It’d bloomed beautifully in the bush but quickly withered after she picked it up and died soon after. Could this man be the same?

Just as Lulu wondered what to do, thinking she’d made a big mistake, the man grabbed his own thing and turned away from Lulu. Then, a strong stream of liquid spewed out from his…

After a while, when the stream finally stopped and there was no more sound, Lulu muttered.

“Are you finished?”

Upon hearing Lulu’s words, the man lowered his head deeply, frantically pulling up his pants. His hands were shaking in his haste.

As the object Lulu had seen disappeared in the blink of an eye, she clicked her tongue in disappointment. Meanwhile, a gleam of contempt flashed in the man’s eyes. All the kind of despair and frustration that a human could express came to his face.

“My God…Dear God…How could I show such a disgraceful sight in front of others…”

He muttered in a voice that seemed like he would bite his tongue. Lulu felt sorry for him as his voice was soaked with misery.

She just pressed it lightly, but she didn’t know he would hate it that much. Was he reluctant to show her his own thing? Why? It was big and pretty.

Lulu, who was puzzled, noticed that the man’s condition had significantly improved. Little by little, the color of his face was returning, and the rain-like cold sweat stopped. However, he was still murmuring like he was lost.

‘I have to go home. And this person…’

At first, she thought of sending the man back. But now that thought has changed. Lulu’s mind kept replaying the image of the man she’d seen earlier.

Wasn’t she planning to bring in someone for the human seed? Moreover, the man under the spell happened to perfectly fit Lulu’s first condition, tall.

‘But I haven’t seen him smile yet.’

From the first time they met until now, he never showed a smile, not even once. However, he displayed a variety of expressions besides smiling. Even now. Lulu didn’t know what made him so sad and desperate, but the man’s face was mixed with all sorts of emotions.

If his expressions were that rich, he must also laugh very well!

Lulu made her judgment and asked the man.

“What’s your name?”

To Lulu’s question, the man glared at her and answered.

“This is Ervandas Richard Arsipen.”

The man’s gaze, mixed with resentment and anger, also flashed a hint of expectation. As if he was expecting some kind of reaction from Lulu upon hearing this name.

When Lulu heard the man’s name, she slightly opened her mouth in surprise. Then she furrowed her brow and said.

“Too long. I’ll just call you Er.”

Then, before Ervandas could say anything, Lulu jumped up and pointed to a distant place while smiling.

“You’re coming with me.”

Ervandas scrambled to his feet with a disappointed face. Lulu’s orders were now absolute to him.
