“God, I love ice cream,” I said as I happily licked away.
“NMM!”
“Huh?” I looked around. “Mmm.” I went back to licking. “So good!” I opened my mouth and chomped down on the vanilla swirl.
“NYA!”
My eyes opened to Nia. She was completely nude and lying on the ground facing me. The base of her tail was tucked under her legs while the tip was in my mouth.
“Hmm?” I had never been a morning person, and it always took me several minutes to fully wake up. So, with my mind still a groggy mess, I sucked on the tip of her tail a few more times, still believing it to be vanilla ice cream.
“M-MYASTER! I-I’M GONNA-“ Her claws dug into my shoulder, jolting me awake.
“Eh?” My eyes widened as I looked her up and down, using my tongue to slowly push her tail out of my mouth. “EH!" I jerked back as I realized the dangerous situation I was in.
Nia breathed heavily, and she was biting a finger as her purrs vibrated loudly through the room. She stared at me, her eyes filled with a glint of longing as she crawled towards me.
“Master,” she started, her meow soft yet seductive. “Why…did you stop?”
“EHHHH!?” I shot to my feet. “N-Nia! W-Wh-Wha ah hou hakeh?”
“You’re drooling,” she purred. “Why are you drooling?”
“MEHIHAL HOHIHON!” I wiped the drool away.
“Master…” She crawled closer. I crawled back until I hit the wall. There was nowhere left to go, and I stiffened as her face closed in on mine. “Were you dreaming of food?”
“I-I-“ My eyes began to fall as I looked at her chest briefly.
No! I can’t! I quickly looked back at her eyes.
“Are you…hungry?” She sat on her knees as she tilted her head.
“W-Why are you naked!?” I squeaked.
“I always sleep naked,” Nia replied. “Do you…not like that?”
“Y-You c-can’t d-d-do th-that wh-when I-“
“When you what? When you’re in the same room?” Her tail wrapped around her slender and curvy torso as she pressed her hands to her chest. “Why not? You own me, Master. My heart, body, and soul.”
“That’s not how it works!” I stood up. She grabbed hold of my pants and looked up at me.
Oh, God! She looks like she’s about to-
“You’re…excited.” She purred loudly as her claws dug into my thighs. “I can smell it.” Her hands slowly moved to my inner thighs. “I can feel-“
“Kyaaaa!” I screamed like a girl as I ran to the other side of the room and jumped into the bed. I grabbed the covers and wrapped myself inside. “Put some clothes on!”
“But, Master.” The bed weighed down as she got on it, and I felt her mount the covers on top of me.
“But nothing!” Her claws penetrated the covers, and she slowly began to rip them.
KYAA!
“Master. Master. Master.” She repeated repeatedly in promiscuous excitement as the light from the window began to leak into the tears of the covers. “I see you.” She giggled. “Please, Master.” Her tailed crept it’s way into the slits. “Finish what you-“
A knock on the door, followed by a voice, cut her off. “Excuse me, but it’s time for you two to check out. We have other adventurers waiting for rooms, and you only paid for one night.”
SALVATION!
“Tsk.” Nia clicked her tongue before getting off the bed.
I heard the sound of clothes rustling as she dressed herself, and I sighed in relief before breaking free of my cocoon.
“Here.” My shirt collided with my face as she glared at me with narrowed eyes.
“W-Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked nervously.
“I hate being teased.”
“Huh?” I tilted my head.
What did she mean she hated being teased? Who teased her? She was the one teasing me.
I knew Nia had no intention of going through with whatever she was doing. She was only doing that to please me. She was still in the mindset that if she didn’t do it, she thought I would force her to.
I should probably tell her I’m not like that.
“Y-You don’t have to force yourself on me,” I murmured as I threw my shirt on. “I’m not the kind of guy that’ll force you if you don’t do it on your own. In fact, I don’t want you to do it.” The tip of her tail and ear began to flick as I continued. “I don’t need you to try and pleasure me, especially when it’s not what you want.”
“So…I do have to force myself on you.”
“No, I’m saying that you don’t. I won’t make any advancement on you, nor will I force you to make any on me.”
“So…I do have to force myself on you.”
WHY ISN’T SHE UNDERSTANDING!
“Maybe a new outfit will change your mind?” She mumbled to herself as she looked at her tattered clothes.
Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.
What is she on about?
I sighed softly, giving up on the previous conversation and changing the subject. “You do need some clothes.” I agreed. “That’s why I wanted to farm more for Cores last night.”
“I was tired and thought you’d…” She paused. “Well, you did, but then stopped.”
“Huh?”
“Nothing.” She grumbled. “I told you Cores like the one we found are rare. It would be better to go to the guild and get some quests.”
She’s more talkative than usual. Maybe she really did need some sleep.
“I guess we should do that,” I agreed. “They probably pay more for the quests, and we can tackle multiple at a time for a greater profit.”
“Uh-huh.” She purred.
“Alright then!” I pointed. “ONWARDS! TO MONEY!”
“To money!” She chirped as she mocked my pose.
SO CUTE!
???????????????
After leaving the INN, we made our way to the guild. No, I didn’t know where it was, but I was no NOOB to games. I knew it would most likely be in the heart of the town near the square or somewhere around it.
It wasn’t long before we found it, and as we entered, the clinking of mugs and the hum of lively conversation filled my ears. The bar, which was made of dark, polished wood, stretched along one side of the room with a variety of drinks lined up behind it. The bartender, a burly figure with a friendly smile, expertly poured ales and meads for the patrons.
In the center of the room, adventurers gathered around sturdy wooden tables, sharing tales of their latest quests and battles. Some were clad in shining armor, while others wore robes adorned with mystical symbols. The air was thick with the scent of roasted meat and the sound of hearty laughter.
At the entrance, a receptionist sat behind a large, ornate desk. She had white hair, icy blue eyes, and pale skin. She held a quill in hand as she diligently recorded the comings and goings of guild members. Her desk was piled high with scrolls and maps, and a large ledger lay open.
Hanging on the walls was a massive banner depicting a fearsome monster with three horns. The creature’s eyes seemed to follow me as we moved about the room, adding an air of mystery and danger to the guild hall.
We made our way to the receptionist's desk, and I slammed my hands on the counter.
“I want some quests!”
The girl standing there slowly looked up from the book she was reading. Her eyes darted to Nia, looked her up and down, then to the watch on my wrist, and finally back to me.
“You make me sick.”
“Eh?”
“You have a slave?” She sneered. “And a Nekomorian at that.” Nia shifted beside me, and I frowned at the receptionist.
“Watch your tongue, Ice Queen,” I remarked.
I thought it a fitting nickname, but her lips curled as she reached over the counter and grabbed my collar, slamming my face into the counter.
“Ack!”
Luck:
You have survived with one HP
“Don’t call me tha-“
“HISSSK!” Nia spat as she drew Nyroc, cutting the receptionist off and pointing him at her.
“Sheathe your weapon, Beastkin slave.” Her tone carried malice as crystals of ice began to glimmer around her.
“Nia, calm down.” I stepped in front of her.
“MOVE, MASTER!” Nia demanded. “SHE HURT YOU! I PROMISED TO PROTECT YOU, NOW LET ME-“
“Nia!” I struggled to hold her back as she attempted to lunge at the receptionist. “NIA!” I wasn’t strong enough, and she was easily pushing me back.
What do I- Her tail flicked in my face. Please work! I grabbed hold and pulled.
“NYAAAA!” Nia cried out. She dropped Nyroc as she dug her claws into my chest. “M-MYASHTHER!” She drooled. “N-Nyot here! Nyot in front of everyone!”
“What the hell are you talking abo-“
“You disgust me.” The receptionist snorted. “You'd do that in public?”
“Huh? I only-“
“Myaster! Myaster! Take me back to the INN, nya! Take me back!”
“Now look what you’ve done.” The receptionist growled.
“Myatser! Please!”
“You’re a despicable man.”
“I didn’t do any-“
“What’s all this commotion about?” A new voice asked.
The guild immediately fell into silence as the air inside changed. I knew who it was that had spoken. It was the guild master, and even though I was new to this world, I felt their presence. I felt their power.
It was like a weight on my shoulders, and I struggled to stand as I turned to face them.
