After returning from the dungeon, we went to the church and told Paul what had happened there.
Paul's reaction was somewhat painful, even a little alarming. He immediately launched an investigation into the Serpent's Fang guild, which had been pursuing Claire.
While reporting this to the guild administration, we also searched for a guild called Viper's Fang, but... we only heard that it wasn't registered in Ladia, and found nothing else.
In this situation, we needed to contact the central office, which had information on all the guilds in the kingdom, to obtain intelligence... The problem was the lack of evidence. We couldn't use expensive magical means of communication and were forced to rely on regular long-distance mail to exchange information and wait for a response, which would have taken a significant amount of time.
I must say, the technological advancement here is truly strange... The technologies related to everyday life are comparable to those on Earth, but the level of information, communication, and transportation technology is stuck at pre-Industrial Revolution levels.
What a strange place.
Seeing the worried expression on the employee's face when he said it was the rule, we didn't press the issue and decided to tell Paul about the situation and wait. If the guild targeting Claire was indeed a legitimate guild registered in the kingdom, then the sudden loss of three members in the dungeon should have created a vacancy.
Ars told Lisbeth that once this was confirmed, even without proof, suspicions would arise at the kingdom level, guaranteeing Claire's safety.
Claire's safety is certainly important... but it's still a bit of a shame they can't work together now that they've finally become close. He'll have to ask her to handle the issue of sexual attraction herself when they occasionally meet.
So, they spent three days protecting Claire and gathering information, and before they knew it, Friday had arrived, almost the weekend.
"Well, be careful on your way, Ars," Lisbeth waved at Ars with a cheerful smile.
"Yes, I'm leaving. Have a nice weekend." Seeing Lisbeth's long-absent friendly expression and demeanor, Ars also seemed to be in a good mood, smiling and waving.
Seriously. Lisbeth herself doesn't understand why she smiles when she's in a good mood. Seeing Lisbeth's long-vanished, radiant expression, Ars seemed to have completely misunderstood her.
Yesterday, Ars informed us that he was planning to attend the Heroes' Gathering in the lord's city this weekend and would be staying there overnight.
This Gathering of Heroes was supposed to be a gathering place for heroes who had free time to greet each other, share experiences, and share information with the lord.
It was originally a twice-yearly meeting, with attendance optional, but apparently he also decided to learn more about the Snake's Fang Guild and establish contacts with other heroes.
And he chose this particular time, a weekend meeting, to spend the night.
Was he trying to get me to seduce Lisbeth?
Upon hearing this news, Lisbeth smiled happily before we made love last night, saying she wanted to make love all weekend, and then snuggled into me.
"I hope I can find some information. Be careful on the road, Ars."
I smiled casually and waved to Ars.
When Ars was completely out of sight, Lisbeth immediately came closer to me and hugged my hand.
"Heh-heh-heh. The whole weekend starts today... you can have fun, right?"
I smiled contentedly at this and said to Lisbeth,
"Your boyfriend just left, and you're already thinking about having fun with my dick. What a bad woman you are, Lisbeth!"
"Heh-heh. But..." Lisbeth, ignoring the passersby, lightly patted my groin and said with a smile, "If a woman experiences such intense pleasure... she can't help it, can she?♡" Looking at Lisbeth as she spoke, I gradually felt that the time had come to conquer Lisbeth, and then I began to think about what to do.
Having realized I was a pervert who found the thrill of stealing women from other men arousing, I vowed to live openly with this desire in my new life in Esendia... but putting it into practice turned out to be quite nerve-wracking.
I've spent my entire life pretending to be a respectable young man, unaware of my own desires, and now I have absolutely no idea how to steal a woman from another man.
Without the status bar and the list of female character skills displayed there, I probably would have wasted a lot of my efforts.
Of course, even now that I can confirm the existence of female skills, I'm still plagued by the "what if" question, and I'm unsure whether I should continue in this vein.
So, taking this opportunity, I'll first level up at least one of Lisbeth's female skills to level 10... and then kidnap Lisbeth entirely to make her my female version.
"Let's not go there."
"Ordering food is too simple, okay? I've already bought the drinks in advance..."
"Actually, we could have dinner at the restaurant and come back. Is it really necessary to do all this?"
"Heh-heh. Who knows if we'll get another chance like this? Let's enjoy it while we can." After Lisbeth and I bought groceries for the weekend, she happily followed me home.
Judging by her current behavior, I'll probably agree to leave Ars and become his woman immediately.
What happens if my woman skills reach level 10...? While I was pondering this, I approached Lisbeth's door. She suddenly exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked me to wait a bit, then picked up the bag of food and went to her room.
I thought she'd take a shower first, but that didn't seem to be the case. About five minutes later, the door opened.
However... in front of that open door...
"Heh-heh♡ Welcome, Master♡"
Lisbeth, dressed in the seductive and alluring negligee I'd given her, opened her arms to greet me.
Ha... Even though I'd prepared and changed beforehand... the sight of the lecherous Lisbeth greeting me like a husband instantly aroused me, and I nearly burst with excitement.
I immediately closed the door, quickly undressed, and stood before Lisbeth, my erect penis still throbbing.
"...♡" Lisbeth looked at my penis with an ecstatic expression, slowly raised her head to meet my gaze, and gave me a feminine smile.
As I slowly raised my arm to embrace Lisbeth, she suddenly looked at me with understanding and said,
"Wait a minute. Sorry. I completely forgot about that."
With these words, Lisbeth removed the ring from the ring finger of her left hand—a ring she only wore in Ars's presence—and, holding it in her hand, continued:
"Now I am Shimo's lover... I don't need this anymore."
With these words, Lisbeth threw the ring toward the vanity.
The ring flew in an arc, bounced off the vanity several times, and then landed right in the nearest trash can... After throwing the ring away, Lisbeth no longer looked in that direction, but only at me.
"Heh-heh-heh...♡ Now... it's all ready♡" The way Lisbeth discarded the ring—a precious gift from her lover—like trash gave me a strange pleasure.
I slowly hugged Lisbeth and said,
"Hmm... maybe we should find out how much Lisbeth loves me first?"
"...Hmm♡" Hearing my words, Lisbeth stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around my neck, and pressed her soft lips to mine.
I tilted my head to match Lisbeth's height, placed my hand on her thigh, and stuck out my long, thick tongue.
When I awkwardly stuck my tongue out, Lisbeth immediately opened her mouth and began sucking on it, our tongues intertwining.
"Chirp♡Chirp♡Chirp♡Tsk♡" Lisbeth, dressed in seductive clothing and having removed her lover's ring, enjoyed my deep kiss with a flirtatious air.
During the long kisses I exchanged with Lisbeth, my erect penis, pulsing between our bodies, seemed to become bored and signal arousal.
Although I considered waiting a little longer... I removed one hand from Lisbeth's thigh, grabbed my penis, and inserted it directly between Lisbeth's legs.
After thoroughly enjoying the feeling of Lisbeth's soft thighs and panties, soaked in her own secretions... I suddenly raised my penis, lifting Lisbeth fully upward.
"Ugh...!?" The sudden stop made Lisbeth flinch, her eyes widening in surprise.
Sitting on my penis with a surprised expression, Lisbeth parted her lips briefly and giggled softly.
"Heh-heh-heh...♡Really...this kimono is simply stunning♡Mmm, chu♡"
I straightened my arched back, allowing Lisbeth to straddle the "Cock," kneading her plump buttocks, and again engaged her in a wild, passionate kiss. "Mmm...♡Choo♡Choo♡Ku♡Puha♡Mmm, choo♡" The passionate kiss between the reluctant woman and man seemed doomed to last forever if left unchecked.
Enjoying Lisbeth's occasional tremors, we sucked on each other's tongues and saliva, and then, as if by prior agreement, slowly parted our lips simultaneously.
"Lisbeth. How many times did you orgasm while kissing?"
"Mmm...♡ 5 times...♡ Because my genitals were rubbing against my penis...♡ Coming was easier than usual...♡" I glanced at the clock; the kiss seemed to have lasted only about thirty minutes... Had she really come that many times in that time?
After laying Lisbeth down on the floor, I went to the open box of condoms next to the bed to take one out... Suddenly, I remembered the sex scene with Claire as a horse, which had happened some time ago.
Come to think of it, I hadn't played with Lisbeth in horse form since I learned to transform into a human.
"Lisbeth. Wait a bit over there."
"Huh? Just like that?" As Lisbeth moved away from me, I focused my consciousness and turned into a puff of smoke.
A few seconds later, my enormous equine body filled the entire room.
I turned to Lisbeth, who was looking at me with delight, and smiled.
"Lisbeth, let's confirm if you're ready."
"Become this monster's bitch this weekend?"
Hearing this, an enthusiastic smile appeared on Lisbeth's face.
