Lyam had barely taken in her beauty when a loud crash echoed behind him, drawing both his attention and hers.
Only to see an entire pack of those humanoid things rushing desperately toward them.
"Th-This has to be a fucking joke!" he exclaimed in disbelief.
Only to hear one of those things close to him, turning his full attention to the creature that Myra had been riding just moments ago.
It was completely injured and already on its last legs, but what caught his attention the most was how… domestic? it behaved toward her.
'It looks like a dog.' Lyam thought, taking several steps back.
"Where are you going? Get on."
"E-Excuse me?!" he asked, confused. The last thing he wanted was to get close to that horrifying thing.
-x- -X- -x-
'... Why the hell did I agree to this.'
Lyam clung tightly to the girl's slim waist as they rode that thing.
Myra seemed to ignore the fact that he was holding onto her like that, as she focused solely on cutting down those things with astonishing mastery.
'W-Who is this woman?'
It was incredible, and the idea that he was no longer in his world was becoming more and more believable. Something that terrified him and… excited him? He honestly didn't know what to think right now.
Terrified by the thought of one of those things killing him and never seeing his family, friends, and his beautiful girlfriend again.
And excited, because what he was experiencing right now was the wet dream of every isekai fan.
'... huh?'
Out of nowhere, he found himself upside down in the air as Myra held him by the waist after making an enormous leap.
For a few seconds, Lyam managed to see how the beast, or pet, was brutally torn apart by the others.
'That's disgusting…'
"Don't stray." Myra ordered as she set him down on the ground beside her, something he wasn't going to do no matter what.
Then, she began making several hand signs as a magic circle appeared beneath them.
'M-Magic?!' he thought, recognizing it purely by instinct.
It seemed to be some kind of barrier, because the beasts that lunged at them ended up crashing into an invisible wall.
"Is i-it breaking?!" he exclaimed as he saw cracks slowly forming under the impact.
'It seems my crystal core is completely useless…' Myra thought as she watched the barrier slowly crack.
Lyam could see how Myra clenched her fists in frustration over something he didn't understand.
The worst thing that could happen now was that the woman would use him as bait to save herself.
'... I don't think so.' It would be stupid to do everything she had done to save him only to leave him to his fate.
'I will become a High Commander, no matter what!' Myra thought with determination, staring at the beasts in front of her with hatred and disgust.
Lyam could only watch as the barrier slowly broke. Those things were insanely strong, and his only hope of surviving was that girl, so he instinctively clung to her legs.
Under other circumstances, he would never have acted in such a pathetic way in front of a beautiful woman, but what the hell did it matter. What he was living through right now was the last thing he could have ever imagined.
"What's your name?"
"Huh?" he muttered in confusion upon hearing her voice, which made him lift his gaze to her eyes now looking at him.
Once again, he couldn't help but shiver at the beautiful color of her eyes and her full lips.
"..?"
The girl looked at him with a raised eyebrow at the dumb look on his face, snapping him out of it as he quickly stood up.
Making her tilt her gaze upward, somewhat surprised by the height difference between them, something she had apparently just noticed.
"Hmm." she murmured under her breath, looking away from his eyes, slightly confusing him.
"What is it?"
"N-Nothing." she replied immediately.
BOOM!
Another impact echoed against the barrier, making Lyam look at the girl with more concern than before.
"Lyam Turner." he finally answered.
She looked at him again, somewhat confused.
"Huh…?" then she seemed to remember her question. "Ahh, I see…"
Then she drove her sword into the ground, stepping closer to him, lifting her face toward his, looking at him more seriously than before.
"Lyam, there might be a way for us to get out of this situation, but you'll have to do your part."
"...I-I mean, I understand. But what exactly should I do?" The last thing he needed, or wanted, was to fight those things.
He might have a good physique from the gym and other sports, but he doubted he could defeat those things with a sword like she could.
Now that he thought about it, that girl was… strong, very strong. How was it possible for her to move like that?
She tilted her head slightly while subtly showing her teeth in a confident smile.
"..."
'Get a hold of yourself, Lyam, you have a girlfriend and she's way more beautiful than this girl…' he told himself, faced with his less-than-holy thoughts.
Then he noticed how she pressed herself against his chest, although due to the height difference, her breasts rested slightly above his stomach, pressing softly.
'Damn it.'
Why did that girl have to be so sexy? And what about that outfit? She wore a dark outfit with shoulder pads and a short skirt that looked deadly on her.
Leaving a clear view of her thick thighs. She placed her right hand on Lyam's chest without taking her eyes off his.
"Good." she said. "Then, I'll make you my slave."
"..."
'Huh?'
Lyam went completely blank, trying to process her words. Could it be that being in such a dangerous situation next to a handsome guy like him made the girl in front of him want to do that? As a way of saying goodbye to life?
"What?" he let out as he took a few steps away from her.
"What's wrong?"
"Whoa. Whoa… wait a second." he said, raising his hands between them to keep her from getting closer.
"I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart that you saved my life, yeah, but…" he muttered without looking her in the eyes.
She simply narrowed her eyes, clearly lost in the conversation.
"Uh-huh, and? Don't you want to get out of here?"
