Helena and Jaspin followed Ramirez and Casper deeper into the market district, the two Earthling traders walking with the confident swagger of men who smelled money.
Jaspin crossed her arms.
"We don't have time for this."
"I'm talking to Helena," Casper said smoothly, ignoring her.
Helena cut in, voice low. "What exactly is this job?"
Casper spread his hands.
"Simple. Ramirez and I are high-class slave traders. We have connections that can supply us with extremely rare specimens. What we're missing is a proper futanari to breed them."
Helena's crimson eyes narrowed. "So you want me to mate with animals?"
Casper chuckled. "Not in that crude way. We call it 'enlightenment.' For a fertility goddess like you, it's basically an upgrade. A basic untrained, scrawny Juujin-grade female slave who isn't even specialized for sex starts at five thousand tartin. Now imagine one with A-rank, S-rank, or SS-rank rarity… We're talking hundreds of thousands millions."
The words hit Helena like a drug. She felt a familiar heat bloom low in her belly. Her cock gave a single heavy throb inside her pants. She glanced at Jaspin, whose face showed the same flicker of doubt… and temptation.
Casper continued,
"You can take a look at our premium stock if you want."
They led the two women into what looked like a luxurious residential complex. Ramirez gestured proudly.
"We bought this entire warehouse over several years at only about five percent of its real value. The problem with our business right now is that we don't have a contracted fertility goddess yet. So we're forced to buy slaves at wholesale prices that are absolutely insane, then try not to jack up the resale too much…"
Casper opened the heavy door and Ramirez finished,
"As you can see, we've invested heavily in the design and service. Only the rich and serious collectors come here. Just wait until you see the goods."
On the first floor, the moment the girls sensed Helena's presence, the air changed. Twenty Juujin-grade beast girls of various species instantly grew restless.
"I can't believe it… she's a real fertility goddess!"
"I feel… something…"
Casper snapped his fingers and they fell silent, but their eyes burned with sudden, uncontrollable lust. There were moth-like girls with four arms and tiny bodies, feathered bird girls with colorful wings, massive cow girls with huge horns and fluffy white-and-brown fur, wool-covered sheep girls, a white lioness with curling horns, a white-and-yellow snake girl, an octopus girl with six thick tentacles for legs and two normal arms ending in suction-cup fingers, and a small black cat girl with gleaming golden eyes.
Ramirez smiled.
"As you can see, we take excellent care of our merchandise food, water, medical treatment unlike some of the filthier sellers. May the gods curse them; they don't even clean up their slaves' waste until it's time to show them."
Jaspin asked coolly,
"What rarity range do your slaves usually fall into?"
"Right now, mostly F to C. Occasionally we get lucky with a B-rank. Like I said, the problem is the price. A single good A-rank girl costs about as much as this entire building. We can supply the rare filters to turn them Feral, but without a fertility goddess to do the actual breeding…"
Helena's voice was quiet.
"Who's your most expensive girl?"
"This floor is for Earth-animal types. The most expensive one here is that white-furred lioness with horns over there."
"And business?"
"Our stock is aimed at the wealthy of this town. The cheaper ones like that moth girl are for the middle class."
Helena asked the question that had been burning in her mind.
"How do you keep them from escaping?"
Ramirez grinned.
"Excellent question, Goddess Helena."
He opened his palm. In it rested a strange pulsating talisman shaped like a beating heart wrapped in chains.
One of the girls suddenly lunged at him.
"Stop."
She froze mid-air. Ramirez laughed softly.
"They can't even think about taking it. And if they ever find it, they bring it straight back."
He tossed the heart into the hands of the girl who had tried to grab it. She immediately returned it with shaking fingers.
"This talisman gives us total control over their will."
They moved up to the next floor. The girls here were stranger slime girls, red-skinned demon girls with tails and horns, goblin girls, flame girls in every color, pink-furred girls with strawberry-like fruit growing on their bodies, and several tiny hand-sized oddities.
"These don't resemble Earth animals,"
Helena noted.
One of the demon girls immediately pressed against her, rubbing her body shamelessly until Casper pulled her away. Another girl had already slipped a hand under her thin slave garment and was openly masturbating while staring at Helena.
"Next floor our Tsunomimi collection."
There were only seven girls here, but each one was breathtakingly expensive.
A gothic moth girl with long antenna horns.
A sleek wolf-eared girl.
A slightly plump white-haired panda girl.
Twin cat girls one black, one white with matching ears and tails.
Three elegant elf-like girls with tiny animal features.
"These are the priciest because they're so close to human but still carry that faint beast flavor. The remaining floors are mostly males. You probably won't want to see those the clients who buy girls are far more common. Males are usually for hard labor and… personal use by female owners."
Ramirez turned to Helena with a respectful bow.
"So, Goddess Helena… what do you think?"
Helena had been thinking the entire time. Her mind raced.
"You can sit in the reception room and consider it."
Jaspin watched her from the corner of her eye. Rita stayed invisible. Helena's voice was steady when she finally spoke.
"If I work with you… what's my cut?"
"Forty percent."
"Make it fifty."
Jaspin snapped,
"Helena, what the hell are you doing?!"
"I'm just asking."
Casper leaned forward, eyes gleaming.
"Goddess Helena… what's the name of your upgrade?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Curiosity… I'm guessing you're Hectotype, right?"
"Yes."
"Wooow. Like we used to say on Earth you're a gold mine."
"Why?"
"In the entire Kingdom of Taured, there isn't a single known futanari slave breeder. You futanari can actually modify genetics and choose the sex of the offspring, not just impregnate. You're not just a breeder… you're a creator."
The words sent a hot spike straight to Helena's core. Her cock twitched hard enough that she had to clench her thighs.
"So… what do you say?"
Jaspin stepped between them.
"We already have a job. Thank you."
Helena turned to her.
"Jaspin… can we talk alone for a second?"
She pulled Jaspin aside.
"Imagine you were in my place. A deal that could completely change your life for the better. What would you do?"
"Go to Tofitska."
"I'm being serious."
"Having sex with animals? Are you sure?"
"Hey, Casper," Helena called over her shoulder. "Does breeding with animals hurt them?"
"Of course not. A futanari upgrade turns the animal into a Feral meaning a conscious being who escapes the prison of instinct. They become able to understand human speech, follow commands, communicate through sign language and more. They even start craving sex with futanari during mating season alongside their normal partners. The immorality disappears because they gain full will and desire. The offspring are real. Only ordinary humans make it immoral."
Helena looked back at Jaspin, voice barely above a whisper.
"See?"
"This is disgusting."
"Money buys souls. Put yourself in my place."
"But if you rebel, the Hexacony Church will assassinate you from afar. Your heart is still in Lady Sofia's grasp."
"Side job. I'll make this my side job."
"Hmm… fine."
"But will you live here?"
"Um… hey, Casper, can you relocate to Tauredia?"
"For you? We'll sell this place and build a new one there."
"Did you hear that?"
Jaspin exhaled through her nose, then gave a reluctant nod.
"…Alright. I'm in."
Ramirez and Casper practically beamed.
"It is our honor, great Goddess. However, building the new facility in Tauredia will take time."
The two men dashed to the records room, scattering papers everywhere until they found the contract.
Helena and Jaspin read every clause duties, responsibilities, rights, and the exact profit split. Everything checked out.
Before signing, Helena said,
"One more request."
"Anything. Name it."
"I want to go to Tofitska first me and Jaspin."
"Easily done. I know someone who can fly you there in under an hour."
Helena signed the contract.
"Wonderful, Goddess Helena. We are truly honored to work with you." Ramirez rubbed his hands together, then added with a sly smile,
"But before you leave… may I ask one small favor?"
