Chapter Fifteen #3
I really wasn’t sure if I did the right thing after seeing what condition she was in.
Her abdomen was covered in scars. Horrible scars that looked as if she had been stabbed there dozens of times.
I remembered what Rosie said about scars. It typically only happened below a certain health percentage. So, if she suffered this many scars, all in one specific area…
“Sorry,” Lupa said, her voice trembling. “I can never have Master’s kids.”
“The only thing you need to apologize for is taking so long in the bath that you missed the entire conversation I had with Rosie,” I replied.
I still wasn’t sure what to do, but I crouched down, kissed her abdomen, and looked up at her from there.
“But you also need to apologize if you think that something like this would make me lose interest in you. I don’t care if you can’t have kids, Lupa.
Even if I wanted kids myself, I’d never think you’re less valuable over something like this. ”
“… sorry. I—I’m bad, Master.”
“It’s alright. This world can be incredibly stupid at times, so I can’t blame you for feeling that way.
” Besides, even some men back on Earth would probably lose interest in a girl who couldn’t have kids.
“And I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable by making you strip like this.
I just… I didn’t want to let you hide it and worry about it for longer than you already have been.
I feel like if I didn’t order you, then you’d keep hiding it and suffering on your own until I did. ”
“Mm. I would have. I was even tempted to run when you ordered me to, but… I don’t want to lose Master or make Master angry at me.”
“You can cover them up if you want, but I promise you that you don’t need to. I want you to be comfortable. I also want you to understand that even if you don’t cover them up, they don’t change anything.”
Still, looking at those scars… they weren’t surgery scars.
I was well familiar with how those looked.
The scars on her abdomen looked like the result of someone purposely mutilating her in a very intentional way.
And if I was right with my understanding of female anatomy, then the scars were mostly clustered over where her uterus and ovaries would be.
And again, no medical scars would look so gruesome.
If I had to guess, someone purposely destroyed her reproductive organs. That was why she didn’t go into heat anymore and why she couldn’t have kids. Someone forcibly made it so she never could.
Maybe the world wasn’t as innocent as I thought outside of the dungeons.
Even so… there was definitely healing magic capable of healing damage like that no matter how old it was. But if adventurers rarely pushed for higher levels, then it was possible nobody ever achieved it.
I kissed Lupa’s abdomen again before standing up. “You’re beautiful, Lupa, and I promise you that my feelings for you haven’t changed the slightest bit after seeing that.”
“Mm… thank you, Master,” Lupa replied. “Can… I cover up?”
“You can. Sorry again for forcing you.”
Lupa shook her head. “It’s okay. I’m happy. But… I still don’t want anyone to see it.”
“That’s okay. How about you put on the pajamas you wore last night? I don’t think your equipment will be that comfortable for having some fun in bed.”
“Master… still wants to do lewd things?”
“Are you crazy? Of course I do.” Not that I felt horny in that moment. I just wanted to kill whoever did that to her.
“I’m not worthless?”
“You’re not worthless.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”
“Master still likes me?”
“Master doesn’t just like you, Master loves you.”
Lupa’s tail started wagging. “Master… likes my body?”
“Master loves your body.”
Her tail wagged even faster. “I’m so happy. And now… I don’t have anything else to be afraid of. Master saw everything. Master still likes me.” Lupa wrapped her arms around me for a tight hug. “Mm, no. Master loves me. And… Master is angry for me.”
“… I guess I can’t hide it.”
“Master’s body language is obvious.”
“Then I won’t bother hiding that I’m… really pissed off and want to kill whoever hurt you.”
That must have been the right answer since Lupa’s tail wagged even more. “Master wants to protect me.”
“I don’t just want to. I will protect you. And I’ll punish whoever hurt you.”
“Me, too. I’ll protect Master. I’ll kill anyone who hurts you. Master… let’s protect each other forever.”
“I was already planning on it.”
Lupa pulled away from the hug to grab onto me and pull me down so she could kiss me just like earlier. “I love you, Master.”
“I love you, Lupa.” I made sure to kiss her back after that.
“Mm. I’ll go change into comfy clothes. Sorry for being bad and ruining the mood.”
“It’s alright. Taking care of you is more important than being horny.”
With a rare smile, Lupa went into Rosie’s bedroom to, presumably, get those pajamas she wore the night before.
Maybe what I did had the right outcome, but… I still wasn’t sure I went about it the right way.
All my life, people forced me into situations and forced themselves onto me in ways that didn’t give me a chance to run away. Being forceful… was the only way I knew how to resolve problems.
I didn’t like that.
Even if I reached the right ending, I used methods that the same people who I despised with my entire being used against me.
I looked down at my hand that I grabbed Lupa with. “I might have a new body, but I’m still fucked up,” I said and sighed.
Even when I was teasing Rosie, she told me no but I kept going.
Yeah, I liked making her cum for the sake of her pleasure.
But I also liked the power I felt.
“… I’m just as bad as them,” I said.
“I guess I should stop spying,” Rosie said, standing next to me without my even noticing it.
“How long have you been there?”
“Probably longer than you’re hoping for. I got up right after you took me off you… though it was pretty hard to get over here with how wobbly I was.”
“Sorry. And… sorry for not stopping when you told me no.”
“Sev.”
“Yeah?”
“That felt crazy good—way better than anything I could ever imagine, and I only said no because I was embarrassed, not because I meant it. I didn’t tell you to stop, remember?”
“Promise me you’ll tell me to stop if you ever want me to, no matter how much I might look like I’m enjoying it.”
“Mhm! I promise. Besides, I’m not some girl who is going to let you do things I don’t like. Not even you are safe from the importance of consent. Also, don’t forget I’m way stronger than you.” She looked pretty smug after saying that.
“Good. That’s a relief. And I think you being stronger is pretty reassuring, too.”
“You’re worried about being like the people who bullied you, aren’t you?”
“How are you and Lupa so good at reading me?”
“I might not be good at advanced math, but putting two and two together is easy even for someone like me.”
“Don’t downplay how great you are with people.”
Rosie stood up on the tips of her toes and kissed my cheek. “Feeling better?”
“Yeah, but don’t be surprised if I use you as a therapist sometime.”
“You can do that whenever you want. Aren’t partners supposed to be each other’s therapist in the first place?”
“Are they?”
“I’d say so! So that means you’ll have to be my therapist and listen to my problems sometime, too.” Then Rosie sounded gloomy as she said, “Like about the time I walked in on my mom and dad when I was a kid.”
“I’ll be your therapist whenever you need.”
“Good!”
“By the way.”
“Yeah?”
I looked down at her chest. “Your tit is still out.”
Rosie slowly went red as she looked down at her own chest. “A-ah… that’s… embarrassing.”
“Mm, jealous,” Lupa said, announcing her return as she stood behind me and to the side. “Rosie’s boobs… bigger.”
Rosie tucked her breast back into her nightgown and sighed. “These are nothing to be jealous of.”
“Master likes big boobs.”
I corrected her by saying, “I love all boobs. Stop thinking I prefer the bigger ones. Yours are just as good.”
“Mm…”
Rosie took my side, thankfully. “Seriously, you should have seen this weirdo. The first thing he did was get his hands all over my boobs. What kind of guy even does that?”
“Really? Master was touching boobs? Purposely?”
I sighed and said, “The shocking thing here is that you thought I only like to look at them. Lupa, I don’t care about pussies.
I don’t care about having children. I’m more than happy to fuck nothing but mouths and tits if that’s what you like.
I know you said earlier how unbelievable that would be, but I’m being serious. ”
“… was I worried over nothing?”
Rosie answered for me with, “Yep. Welcome to the club.”
“Rosie.”
“Lupa.”
“Are we sure he’s real?”
“He’s as real as he can be, I think. Somehow.”
“Mm.”
“Also, Lupa.”
“Rosie?”
“I might not be your owner, but I want you to depend on me, okay? I want to protect you, too. Besides, I’m our tank. Protecting the party is my job! But even if we weren’t a party, you’re my friend now, plus we both fell in love with the same weirdo, so… I’ll protect you.”
“Mm…” Lupa’s wagging tail was always adorable to watch. “Rosie.” Lupa held her arms open. “Hug.”
Rosie was happy to give Lupa what she wanted, and I felt my heart melting as the two girls hugged. “If you’re ever worried about anything or want a hug, you can come to me, too, okay?”
“Mm. I will. And Rosie, too. If I can ever help… let me.”
“Mhm!”
I totally shipped them together. After shipping them with me, of course.
Really, I was just happy to see them get along so well. I was especially happy for Lupa since she didn’t have anyone before me, but now she had me, Rosie, and Stella.
“Mm, Rosie,” Lupa said.
“What is it?” Rosie asked, still hugging Lupa.
“I think we need to make Master prove he likes the same things as us.”
“I don’t doubt him anymore… but you might have a point. Besides, if he does like the same stuff, then it’ll be a good way to show our appreciation for everything he’s done for us, right?”
Lupa nodded. “Mm.”
