It really is nice to have someone else cook for you once in a while.
I had been invited to the castle by King Lodi and was currently enjoying a proper royal meal.
"May I ask you something?" King Lodi said in his usual friendly tone. His attitude hadn't changed at all since he was still a prince.
"What is it?"
"I noticed that even the royalty and nobility here eat meat."
Back in Shiki City, the people refused to eat meat, claiming it was something only the lower, discriminated classes consumed. Yet here in the castle, meat dishes were served as naturally as bread or vegetables.
"That's right. Meat-eating is generally considered vulgar," King Lodi said, happily chewing a juicy piece of steak. "But… delicious things are delicious. Don't you agree?"
"…Yeah, I like meat too."
This was good stuff. The texture reminded me of high-quality beef.
"Royalty and nobles actually eat quite a bit of meat in secret. The ones serving the gods of the church are the exception, of course. Their doctrine forbids it."
Interesting.
"You're planning to open a high-class restaurant soon, right? Serving dishes like this might be fun."
"Hmm… that makes sense. Thanks for the advice."
One more thing bothered me.
"Is my table manners weird?"
I had been trying to copy King Lodi's movements, but I had no idea what proper etiquette in this world actually looked like.
"Not at all. Honestly, you don't need to worry about it. If I feel offended I'll tell you, but table manners are just customs expected of one's social rank. You're a great merchant who started as a wanderer. No one is going to nitpick your gestures."
I see. So it only matters if your status demands it. Since I started from the bottom, people won't complain even if I look a little crude. Got it. Natural discrimination is everywhere in this world, but worrying about it is a losing game.
"Understood. The food was delicious, so let's get to the real reason I was invited."
There had to be more to this dinner than just eating.
"Indeed. It's simple. We are going to separate Shiki City from the Empire's direct control and make it part of my principality."
...Huh?
"The lord of Shiki City has already agreed. We're currently persuading the influential people there one by one."
This had suddenly turned into a huge political matter.
"Izumi, you will support us, yes?"
He said it so casually.
"…Well, I don't have any reason to refuse."
I was on good terms with King Lodi, after all.
"You're a key figure. You have interesting connections. I'm counting on you."
I still wasn't sure exactly what he wanted from me, but I left the castle for now.
The long-awaited opening day of the high-class restaurant had finally arrived.
Preparations had been finished long ago, but after listening to the staff's requests and tweaking the interior again and again, time had slipped away. Still, the big day was here.
"Welcome!"
Thanks to the heavy pre-opening advertising, customers flooded in from day one.
The main draw was the ultra-premium liquor "Shizuku" that I had gotten special permission from the wholesaler to sell in small amounts. It was an extremely rare and expensive drink, but since it was my own product, I had asked if I could offer it at the restaurant.
"You're very conscientious about business etiquette. Dealing with you is easy. Since it's only one high-class store, there's no problem at all. The only request is that you adjust the price or quantity so it doesn't affect the market too much."
So we decided to sell it.
Shizuku was insanely expensive, so I sold it at wholesale price but in tiny 20 ml servings using special small vessels. I also offered Sekauma and the new Sekauma 3 in a "three-kind tasting set."
A lot of customers came specifically for the alcohol.
It was just like the early days of my first shop — people coming for the booze. Eventually I wanted the food alone to be the main attraction.
The only place where that was already working was the crepe stand.
"Delicious!"
"…Hm, it pairs perfectly with the wine."
The interior of the restaurant, designed with the help of the hired staff, radiated luxury and elegance.
Meanwhile in the kitchen—
"Hah!!!"
The wandering chef, Urd Aripus, was striking dramatic poses — rising dragon this, secret fist that — while fiercely battling the ingredients.
He had stayed in the city the whole time and helped me a lot, which was great, but his cooking style was… unique. How the hell did he manage to cook like that?
This high-class restaurant was, as expected, extremely expensive.
Silver coins and even gold coins were flying around the register.
The Masauuchi fish simmered dish — recognized as true haute cuisine — was selling like crazy at one silver coin per plate. That's ten thousand yen.
"Looks like gold coins are going to be tossed around at the counter soon."
Still, the restaurant seemed like it was going to be a big success.
I smiled with satisfaction.
The next day.
I had been summoned to the Elf Forest for the first time in a while.
"I've been looking for you for quite some time~"
The elf boy guiding me was incredibly beautiful — smooth skin, big sparkling eyes, the kind of pretty face that could make anyone stare.
"Huh? You were?"
Now that he mentioned it, I was never in one place for long. I kept teleporting between the island, hot springs, and various shops.
"I went to your old shop but it was being demolished. Then I was told you were at the mansion, but you weren't there either."
Yeah… finding me must be pretty difficult with all the teleporting I do.
"It's been a while."
The elf princess greeted me with her usual calm grace.
"Hello."
"I have something to discuss, but first, let's have some drinks."
As always, barrels of my liquor were already lined up.
"By the way, about the payment…"
I had never actually taken money from the elves before. It felt awkward to keep doing things for free, but—
"Yes, about the payment. That's exactly what I wanted to talk about."
Oh, she was being unusually direct today.
"You got Euryaut Valante pregnant, didn't you?"
My movements froze.
"As I explained before, when an elf woman bears a human male's child, she is headed straight for slavery. Euryaut Valante is an outstanding member of the royal guard, highly valued by the elders. What exactly do you plan to do about this?"
Cold sweat poured down my back.
I had known it would come out eventually.
"Well… I'll handle the cover-up somehow. In exchange, just keep the liquor barrels coming."
I had been completely caught with my weakness exposed.
Yeah… I guess I had it coming. Reaping what I sowed.
===
(Elf Boy's Perspective)
I was trembling as I listened to the princess's story.
(…Euryaut Valante-san…?)
The proud, dignified royal guard I had always admired.
It was impossible for her to be carrying a human's child.
Elf men sometimes impregnated human women, but for an elf woman to have sex with a human male was considered the ultimate disgrace — proof of being utterly defiled and reduced to the lowest rank.
(Lies… that can't be true.)
The human man called Izumi.
After he finished delivering the liquor, he left the forest. I secretly followed him all the way back to the city and into the residential district.
(Inside the house…)
Come to think of it, I hadn't seen Euryaut Valante at all lately. She was supposed to be his guard. Maybe…
"…She's inside the house."
Elves are skilled at stealth, but sneaking into someone's home was still risky.
"Auu?"
A beastkin girl suddenly appeared right in front of me.
"Auu~" She looked happy to see me.
"What's wrong, Aou?"
Another beastkin girl came over.
"Ah, an elf guest. Do you have business with Master? Please come inside. Aou, go call Master."
The girl called Aou shook her head vigorously.
"Auu~" She pointed straight at me.
"Use words properly."
"Pointy ears… want to bite."
"Yes yes, no biting. Sorry for the wait."
Luckily I was invited inside. I could do a little snooping.
"Hm? Izumi-san? He's probably at the villa right now."
A villa?
The girl soon returned.
"I'm sorry, he seems to have gone out. What did you need?"
"It's about the Elf Forest. A verbal message is tricky, so I'll come back another time."
I left the room, but something in the corner caught my eye.
(A teleportation stone.)
A fixed-point teleportation stone. It could only go to specific locations, but it could be used any number of times by any number of people.
I would come back at night when everyone was asleep.
That night.
Breaking into the mansion was harder than expected.
"They have proper security."
It wasn't easy to sneak in, but the protection magic felt familiar.
"Elf-style wards… Euryaut Valante's handiwork."
So she really was here.
Normal infiltration was impossible.
I silently climbed the wall and reached the roof. The upper defenses weren't as tight.
Carefully opening an upper window, I slipped inside.
"…Only someone like me could do this."
My small body and silent movements made it possible.
I moved quickly and quietly straight to the teleportation stone and stepped on it without hesitation.
"…An island?"
I arrived on a wide, natural island. Much easier to hide in than a human town.
(Is Euryaut Valante here…?)
I crept forward carefully and suddenly heard a voice.
'…!!! Hiiiii!!!'
That voice…
"Euryaut Valante-san…?"
I moved closer and froze in shock.
(…!!!)
There she was.
Her belly was clearly swollen. She really had been impregnated by a human man…
But the scene was far worse than I imagined.
"Oooooohhhhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ I'm completely defeated by human cock♡♡♡♡♡"
Euryaut Valante was chained by the neck like livestock, completely naked and degraded.
(How… horrible…)
Even hearing the princess say she had been impregnated by a human was shocking, but seeing it in person was devastating.
The proud woman I admired had been reduced to a mere animal kept by a human man.
"Cock♡♡♡♡♡ It's going into my asshole again♡♡♡♡♡ Such a huge dick is stretching my shithole♡♡♡"
Her ass. He was fucking her in the ass.
"Your ass has gotten so loose already."
"Yeeesssss♡♡♡♡♡ My asshole is now a dedicated cock sleeve♡♡♡ I don't even deserve to shit anymore♡♡♡ It's completely gaped and ruined♡♡♡"
The man thrust into her without any mercy, making her squirt every time he bottomed out.
"Even though you're a proud elf, you look pathetic."
"Yes♡♡♡ I've thrown away all my elven pride♡♡♡ I'm a female slave who offered both her pussy and her asshole♡♡♡"
She arched her back violently.
"I'm cummingggggg♡♡♡♡♡ I'm showing my disgraceful ahegao face and cuuuuuuming♡♡♡♡♡"
Euryaut Valante was squirting and drooling everywhere, orgasming over and over.
I was stunned by the sight.
Yet at the same time, my own cock was painfully hard.
I was excited.
Seeing the dignified royal guard reduced to a human's livestock turned me on unbearably.
"Valante-san, after you give birth I'm going to knock you up again right away."
At those words she moaned even louder.
"I'm so happyyyy♡♡♡ Please impregnate Valante over and over♡♡♡ Pound your human cum into this proud elf's womb♡♡♡ My womb is rejoicing♡♡♡♡♡ Submitting to human semen feels so goooood♡♡♡♡♡"
Not just her body — her heart had completely surrendered too.
"I'll cum on your face."
"Give it to meeee♡♡♡ Cover me in your cum♡♡♡♡♡"
The man pulled his cock out of her gaping asshole and pressed it against her face.
She sniffed it lovingly while stroking him with both hands.
"You like the smell even though it was just in your ass?"
"I love it♡♡♡ Please paint my face♡♡♡♡♡"
With her tongue sticking out and eyes wide open—
*SPUUUUUUUURT!!!!!!*
Thick ropes of cum blasted across her beautiful face.
"Aaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡ I love it so much♡♡♡ I love human cum so much♡♡♡ I love having my mind broken by it♡♡♡♡♡"
Watching the once-proud elf howl like a beast, I couldn't stop jerking off.
No matter how many times I came, the excitement wouldn't fade.
"It feels so goooood♡♡♡♡♡"
The sight of her utterly obedient, cum-covered face made my arousal burn hotter and hotter.
After the elf boy secretly watched from the shadows, the real scene continued deep into the night on the private island villa.
I had Valante-san chained by a thick collar around her elegant neck, the chain attached to a sturdy post like a farm animal. Her swollen pregnant belly swayed as I slammed into her ruined asshole without mercy.
*THWAP THWAP THWAP THWAP*
Her once-tight elf hole had been trained into a sloppy, gaping cock sleeve that made wet, obscene squelching sounds with every brutal thrust.
"Oooooohhhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ Your cock is destroying my ass again♡♡♡♡♡ A proud royal guard's shithole is completely ruined by human dick♡♡♡"
I reached forward and wrapped my hand tightly around her throat, squeezing hard enough to make her eyes roll back while my other hand came down in sharp, loud slaps on her pale ass cheeks.
*SMACK! SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!*
"Tell me exactly what you are now, Valante. Say it loud so the whole island can hear."
"I'm… I'm a defeated elf sow♡♡♡ A royal guard who lost to a human cock and got knocked up like a cheap whore♡♡♡ Choke me harder, slap my ass until it's purple♡♡♡ I deserve to be treated like livestock♡♡♡"
I tightened my grip on her throat, cutting off her air while I pounded her gaping asshole even deeper.
*THWAP THWAP THWAP*
Her pussy — untouched tonight — was dripping and squirting onto the floor with every thrust.
"Does it feel good getting your shithole wrecked while you're pregnant with my child?"
"Yes♡♡♡ It feels amazing♡♡♡ My asshole is better than my pussy now♡♡♡ Slap my pregnant belly lightly, choke your elf slave until I almost pass out♡♡♡"
I gave her swollen belly a few careful but firm slaps, then went back to spanking her ass red while choking her from behind.
"Beg for my cum in your guts."
"Please♡♡♡ Fill my ruined asshole with your thick human cum♡♡♡ Breed my bowels while you choke and slap me♡♡♡ I want to feel it leaking out for days like the pathetic cumdump I am♡♡♡"
The dirty talk flew back and forth as I railed her without pause.
"You used to be so proud and elegant. Now you're moaning like a bitch in heat while I fuck your ass. Say it."
"I used to be proud♡♡♡ Now I'm just a broken elf toilet for your cock♡♡♡ Choke me more, slap my tits too, make me cum from my ass again♡♡♡"
I reached around and slapped her heavy, milk-filled breasts hard, pinching her sensitive nipples while I kept the brutal pace in her asshole.
*SLAP SLAP SLAP*
Her whole body shook violently.
"I'm cumming♡♡♡ I'm cumming from my ass while you choke me♡♡♡ My mind is breaking again♡♡♡♡♡"
I finally pulled out, flipped her onto her back, and shoved my cock — fresh from her ass — straight into her mouth.
"Clean it. Taste your own ruined hole and thank me."
"Mmmph♡♡♡♡♡ Thank you for letting me taste my own ass on your cock♡♡♡ I love being this filthy♡♡♡"
While she sucked and licked desperately, I slapped her cum-covered face lightly and choked her throat again.
"You're going to give birth, then I'm knocking you up again immediately. How does that make you feel, you worthless elf sow?"
"I'm so happy♡♡♡ Please keep breeding me forever♡♡♡ Turn my proud elven womb into a human cum bucket♡♡♡ I love submitting to your seed more than anything♡♡♡♡♡"
I pulled out of her mouth and stroked myself furiously over her face.
"Open wide and beg for my load."
"Please paint my face with your hot cum♡♡♡ Cover your defeated elf slave's face♡♡♡ I want to wear it like makeup♡♡♡"
*SPUUUUUUUURT!!!!!!*
Thick, heavy ropes of cum blasted across her beautiful features, covering her eyes, nose, and tongue.
She moaned like an animal in heat, rubbing the cum into her skin with both hands.
"I love human cum so much♡♡♡ My heart is completely broken and I love it♡♡♡♡♡"
I looked down at the once-noble royal guard, now a cum-drenched, pregnant, collared mess, and felt nothing but satisfaction.
In the shadows, the hidden elf boy had watched the entire thing, jerking himself raw multiple times, unable to look away from the intoxicating sight of total submission.
The night was far from over. I still had plenty more rough, choking, slapping, and degrading fun planned for my addicted elf sow.
And somewhere in the darkness, a new kind of twisted desire had been born inside the young elf boy who could no longer look at his proud kin the same way again.
