“If you k-keep rubbing like that…”

“I need to touch it for it to come out.”

Gilbert calmly said as he cupped Egru’s testicles. The ridiculously small orbs compared to his large palm were kneaded over his calluses.

“Still, right now, ah…”

Egru’s abdomen contracted thinly, revealing his slender ribs. It was because Gilbert’s damp hair touched his bare skin.

Cold droplets fell from his hair, freshly washed at the waterside.

“Th-that spot still hurts. Ah, ugh…”

Gilbert closed his eyes intently as he took Egru’s member into his mouth.

Egru slowly withdrew his hands that had been about to push Gilbert away.

I p-promised to let him eat it, after all…

A promise once made had to be kept. However, he wouldn’t allow Gilbert to handle his lower parts as freely as before.

“Gently, more, ungh, softer…”

Suck, slurp, slurp. The suction on his center gradually decreased in response to Egru’s whispers.

Egru had agreed to provide Gilbert with semen. However, he attached the condition that Gilbert must absolutely follow his instructions.

“N-no, just a little more gently…”

When a needle-like pain struck, Egru reflexively pressed his thighs together. Gilbert’s cheeks were squished between the soft flesh.

Gilbert licked his lips and smacked them. Completely unconcerned about the thighs squeezing his face, he lowered his head again.

“Ungh, mmm…”

Instead of mercilessly sucking on the genitals, he chose to stimulate with his tongue. In any case, he seemed willing to follow Egru’s words.

The large, thick tongue, proportionate to his body size, wrapped around the base of the penis like a mollusk. Squelch, squelch. As it rubbed up and down with viscous sounds, the swollen glans quickly leaked fluid.

“Ah, ah, ah…!”

The moment the tongue dug between the folds, suppressed pleasure surged. The erected tongue tip arbitrarily turned the foreskin inside out.

“S-stop! Gilbert…!”

As he ejaculated, the amber eyes rolled upward weakly.

“Wait…!”

Even after swallowing all the thin seed, Gilbert wouldn’t release the penis. He lifted his massive body, raising Egru with him.

“Haah, ah…!”

Startled, Egru embraced Gilbert’s head. He wrapped his arms and legs around the thick neck to stabilize his swaying center.

As his weight shifted forward, Gilbert’s straight nose bridge pressed firmly against the heated groin. In response, the large hands grasped the twitching buttocks.

“Gilbert, ugh…!”

As if unable to hold back at the end, he sucked vigorously. Egru’s toes, suspended in midair, curled wildly.

“No, don’t, haah, ah…”

The cream-colored eyelids trembled. The inside of his lower abdomen, continuously twitching, felt burning hot.

The stimulation rising from the already hypersensitive flesh being sucked resembled pain. Pleasure beyond limits surged like a torrent.

“Hee, uurgh…”

Eventually, the painfully widened opening spurted a milky fluid.

“Ah…!”

His pupils, dilated from successive climaxes, suddenly contracted sharply.

This was bad. At this rate, the previous incident would repeat itself.

“Enough now! S-stop! Gilbert!”

“…”

“Put me down right now!”

Gilbert, still rolling the penis in his mouth, opened his eyes slowly without answering.

Egru met the deeply glistening red eyes. Seeing a gaze that showed no intention of letting go, he had only one solution left.

“Y-you promised! If you act like this on your own, I’ll never give it to you again!”

Egru scolded him, trying his best to hide his fear. However, Gilbert merely rolled his red eyes to the side as if ignoring him.

“Don’t pretend you can’t hear me!”

Egru found Gilbert’s ear hidden in the tangled long hair.

“I mean it! I’ll g-give it all to someone else so you can’t have any!”

“…”

“Ouch!”

As if displeased, Gilbert bit the soft thigh flesh. Only after licking the red teeth marks did he finally lower Egru’s body.

“Why, why did you bite me…”

As tears welled up in the amber eyes, Gilbert looked away, pretending not to notice.

“Ugh…”

Egru slumped down. His trembling knees had finally given way.

Being sucked like this every day would leave him with no strength. He needed to establish appropriate intervals or limit the frequency. At this rate, his energy would be completely drained, and he’d soon wither like a skeleton.

Huh?

When he belatedly tried to adjust his lower garment, his underwear was nowhere to be seen.

Egru turned sharply to Gilbert, suspecting the worst. Gilbert was side-eyeing him like a dog that had clearly done something wrong.

“Give them back, right now!”

Egru shouted loudly enough to make his face turn red.

“I only have one pair!”

“…”

With reluctant hands, Gilbert handed over the underwear he had hidden under a bundle of leaves. Sniffling, Egru was finally able to properly dress himself.

“What t-taste could it possibly have…”

“Sweet.”

Gilbert answered Egru’s mutter.

“L-like sugar or honey?”

“Not even comparable.”

Could that be true? It was the first time he’d heard that it tasted sweet.

Egru looked down at his private parts before shaking his head. No matter what, tasting his own seemed wrong, so he abandoned the thought.

W-well anyway…

It was finally over.

Just as his body relaxed from the tension, he suddenly tensed up again. As he caught his breath, he became aware of the urge to urinate that he hadn’t noticed until now.

Looking around, Egru slowly pressed his hands against the ground and stood up.

“Please wait a moment, Gilbert. I need to go out for a bit…”

“Urine?”

Gilbert asked as he casually steadied the staggering Egru. Egru’s head tilted curiously.

“How did you know?”

“I can tell by looking.”

“Yes, I’ll g-go urinate and come back. Then we can go down to the underground together.”

“…”

By now, he had become somewhat accustomed to Gilbert’s silences. Egru turned away from Gilbert and staggered toward the outside of the World Tree. Due to his lack of leg strength, he had to walk one step at a time, supporting himself against the wooden walls.

Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

Thud.

In the middle of his diligent walking, Egru froze.

Why, why does he keep following me?

Gilbert’s footsteps persistently followed behind.

For a moment, an ominous feeling welled up. His heart clenched and pulsed violently.

Egru quickened his steps.

Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.

Thud, thud.

Finally, Egru turned around and asked.

“Does Gilbert also n-need to use the bathroom?”

“No.”

“Th-then why…”

“You’re not walking well.”

“Ah…”

So he was just trying to help.

Feeling awkward, Egru continued forward. He headed toward a corner of the fortress, as far as possible from the sacred World Tree.

W-would he dislike it if I do it here?

Since Gilbert had built the stone wall himself, Egru felt somewhat self-conscious.

But it was too strenuous to go outside the fortress with his trembling legs.

Carefully checking his surroundings, Egru lowered his zipper. He took out his reddened penis, which had been so thoroughly sucked, and urinated.

Fortunately, Gilbert didn’t seem to care where Egru relieved himself. He merely sat with his back turned, as if standing guard.

“I’m d-done, Gilbert. Shall we go down to the underground now?”

Egru said, adjusting his pants. Without turning to look at him, Gilbert asked.

“Did you wipe?”

“What? Are you perhaps t-talking about the fortress…”

Gilbert silently turned his head to show his face. Though with his wheat-colored long hair hanging down, his face looked essentially the same as the back of his head.

The red eyes stared at the darkened part of the fortress wall.

At the gaze that seemed strangely covetous, Egru, momentarily frozen, jumped up and down in place. Like a small animal inflating itself to appear larger, praying the hungry predator would retreat. He had noticed the desire in Gilbert’s gaze.

“No way! Never in a million years!”

After a long struggle, Egru was finally able to lead Gilbert toward the staircase room. Barely pulling along Gilbert, whose pace had noticeably slowed. It felt like tugging on the leash of a large dog that refused to move after a walk.

“There are stairs g-going up too, but let’s check the lower level first. It said the relic is in the World Tree underground.”

“…”

Gilbert, who had finally given up, silently stepped onto the stairs leading down.

Only then could Egru follow him with relief. They gradually approached their destination, guided by the luminous stones embedded along the walls.

“Gilbert? Are y-you there?”

The moment they descended underground, the surroundings became pitch-black. Egru extended both arms forward, groping his way.

“Why are you walking like that?”

“I c-can’t see anything.”

“You can’t see?”

“No…”

“That’s strange.”

What was strange about it?

It seemed Gilbert could see well even in such darkness.

Not long after, Gilbert suddenly handed something to Egru.

“Wh-what is this?”

“The relic.”

“The relic?”

“It’s the only thing down here.”

Hmm. In the darkness, Egru focused intently on the relic Gilbert had given him. The more he felt it with his hands, the more peculiar it seemed.

Several elongated rods…

Ah, that’s right. There was the light from the status window. Just as Egru belatedly realized this and summoned the status window as a makeshift lantern—

“Eeek!”

Egru dropped the relic in shock at its appearance.
