Chapter 15: Delinquent And Shy Kiss
Ryuji and Yumiko felt a sense of pressure.
They felt attraction towards each other, not just because of the strange bond they shared, but because they suited each other. It felt a little amusing for Ryuji, who wondered if this was why the calamity star chose her.
"Should we try kissing?" He asked, feeling a little adventurous.
"Kissing?"
Yumiko trembled as he gently stroked her cheek.
"That feels good."
"Do you like being treated like this?"
The pair gazed into each other's eyes, both seeming to think of something. Yumiko's sharp eyes narrowed, a look of displeasure for a moment before they loosened. Her lips curled into a bitter smile, her nose sniffing at Ryuji's neck.
"Mm, but it makes me worry I will fall for you, and then you will vanish."
"Why would I do that?"
"You're human, and I am a beast. According to this kingdom. If you become renowned, many people will denounce you for being with me."
Ryuji could feel her acceptance, but a slight feeling of rejection lingered because of their differences.
However, when he thought it was still impossible, she leaned forward, closing her eyes with her lips slightly parted, creating a sticky sound from her glossy lips. "Then, just a kiss. Let's test it out."
He could feel her breath blowing against his neck, faster the closer she came with pink cheeks. She looked incredibly cute. Yumiko licked her lips nervously before letting out a gasp as Ryuji grasped her cheek and supported her head.
Then he kissed her with a gentle movement. At first, it was slow, as neither had much experience—he felt and tasted the sweet cheer flavour of her moist lips sticking to his while her hands reached out and clutched his shirt.
"Mmmn..."
The scent of her breath filled his nose, an assault of sweetness as she seemed to breathe heavier as she opened her mouth, allowing Ryuji's tongue to enter.
'So soft...'
Her tongue trembled from contact, recoiling as he slid around her gums and flicked her teeth and cheeks; she tasted sweet and seemed unsure how to respond. Yumiko's eyes remained closed while clinging to Ryuji as he explored her mouth with his tongue.
"Mnngh!"
Ryuji felt Yumiko's tongue hesitantly lick him before wrapping around it as if afraid it would escape after liking the taste or feel; the feeling made him feel amused as he pulled her tighter into his embrace, their bodies touching while continuing to kiss.
Their kiss lasted a few minutes, but to the couple, it felt like hours. Both breathed heavily, and their lips coated with sticky, wet saliva and gloss while Yumiko looked at him with dreamy eyes.
The pair collapsed onto the bed, hugging each other tightly. As Ryuji and Yumiko fell asleep together, their lips touched once more.
"I can't believe my first kiss was with a boy a fraction of my age, and a human hero..."
"Me either. My second kiss was such a hot fox girl."
"Wait, I am second!?"
****
Ryuji heard birds and insects singing six hours later while his body felt hot. Something coiled around him, with fluffy sensations tickling his thigh, with a slightly sticky feeling.
He opened his eyes and saw Yumiko sleeping in his arms, completely naked. Her fluffy tail wrapped around Ryuji's waist, and her legs wrapped around his thigh as she hugged him.
It seemed the kiss changed many things between them. Maybe it sped up their bonding, but they did it on their terms, so Ryuni didn't regret it.
'Damn... She looks too cute.' Ryuji smiled while stroking Yumiko's hair, causing her ears to twitch while she mumbled in her sleep, moaning softly; however, she suddenly opened her eyes with tears, as if she had seen a nightmare.
"Ryuji?!" she called out, clinging to him as if afraid to lose him.
"It's morning; we should eat breakfast before I leave." Ryuji's voice was soothing, with a deep tone of both affection and comfort. Yumiko's ears twitched upon hearing his voice before smiling as she hugged him harder.
"Can we stay here for a little longer?"
"Mm... Okay..." Ryuji felt something poke his awkward morning wood, causing him to focus on stroking Yumiko's ears until she calmed down.
After relaxing with Yumiko, Ryuji dressed her before getting dressed himself; he felt hungry and prepared to leave as they finished a quick bath together. She seemed a little strange since the dream in the morning, so he comforted her and did not leave too far.
Many of the lessons from his mother were about being considerate and patient.
"Wait for me, okay?" Ryuji felt Yumiko grip his hand before smiling as she watched him leave to get some meals.
Ryuji didn't want her to worry, so he rushed to the counter and returned with a slight bead of sweat on his head. His changes caused her smile to shine bright while sniffing the delicious food; it was not a cooked meal but a boxed set with soup, bread, and meat.
Ryuji enjoyed the simple breakfast with Yumiko. She sat between his thighs while eating happily, and although he felt nervous at first, it was strangely natural, so now he asked her.
"What was the bad dream you had?"
Her shoulders trembled, and her face became pale. Ryuji, watching her, felt like she suddenly became unaware of the surrounding people, as if it was just them.
"Yumiko?" Ryuji's concerned voice calmed her as she spoke while resting her head against his chest.
"I dreamed of you; in the dungeon, we went on a quest with the heroes, and an enormous monster with horns and a huge mace attacked. It seemed to come from the lower floors, destroying the teleportation portal as we fled..."
Yumiko seemed terrified, but blue tears dripped from her captivating orbs before he could comfort her.
"Then, when we returned to the castle, you were gone, no matter how hard I tried to find you. Yet your scent vanished."
Ryuji listened to her and comforted Yumiko, patting her head and ears. He felt sad that she had dreamed about this, but it seemed prophetic, so he would try to avoid such a dangerous dungeon until he became stronger.
'If I cannot avoid it, I must strengthen or drag her with me somehow...'
"Was I the only one that vanished?"
"N-No.... Erika from the hero's party seemed to vanish, too, and because of that, Haruki became berserk and took his anger out on the weaker heroes... Until Alan stopped him."
"Uhm... Who was Erika again?" Ryuji wasn't good with names and faces until they spoke several times; he wondered which of the two it was.
"Blonde hair and azure eyes; she greeted you and waved with a smile."
Yumiko seemed calmer as she ate, leaning against Ryuji while enjoying the warmth of his chest. His acting like he didn't know her made her feel less jealous.
'I see... that girl. Will she die, or do we get sent somewhere else?'
Ryuji pondered while comforting Yumiko until she finished breakfast; he planned to leave early to meet the knights to join, so he got into his combat gear.
"Ryuji..." Yumiko called out, seeming reluctant to part with him while gripping his armour.
"Yes?"
"Can we kiss again before you go?" Yumiko looked cute, her eyes loose while lowering her shoulders. She looked shy as if asking Ryuji to buy her an ice cream. He still felt the kisses with Yumiko create butterflies in his stomach, but he couldn't deny he wanted to, so he nodded.
They shared another passionate kiss; this time, Yumiko responded more aggressively; it felt like her tongue was trying to wrestle with Ryuji's.
More ferocious than before, as if trying to keep him from leaving. Yumiko wrapped around his neck and kissed him before he felt her sucking on the tip of his tongue obsessively.
'This woman learns my tastes quickly...' Ryuji thought as Yumiko controlled the kiss; he felt her tug on his armour as she whimpered while releasing him, feeling reluctant to let go.
"Be careful... Don't get hurt... Mmmmn."
Before he could pull away, she kissed his neck, sucking on him while using her tongue to stimulate Ryuji; he felt goosebumps along his skin while pushing Yumiko away with difficulty, as it was affecting him both sexually and painfully.
Yumiko left a huge mark on his neck and nodded, seeing it, before pecking his lips again before reluctantly letting him go.
"Okay, okay, I'll be back soon..." Ryuji patted Yumiko's head while leaving, feeling her gaze on his back until he left the hallway and met the knights just a few steps outside the gate where they locked away the higher-level dungeons training dungeons.
"Hmmm..." Ryuji felt the pain in his neck.
"Oh my, did you spend a passionate night with your partner?" The dual swordsman Simon's first words, delivered with a chuckle, caused Ryuji to check his neck for the first time.
It was a dark purple mark, like a plum or petal. It was cute but sore.
'Well, I hope she feels relaxed after this...'
"Heh... so you passed the line with that girl; I'm envious~ haha."
Sheila was quite carefree, but this mood helped Ryuji focus as he slapped his cheeks and prepared for the dungeon as she introduced the other two members in light armour.
"By the way, Ryuji, this is Alicia, our Elven archer. She is a rare visitor from the eastern forests but an ally of humans, and this is our wizard, Paul."
