Expanding the Garden

174 – Expanding the Garden #4

Slik, slik, slurp.

I gently traced Luna’s slightly parted skin, softly caressing her plump and tender labia with my fingers.

Slurp, slurp.

Even without pressing too hard, Luna’s lower half was already soaking wet, slippery as if it were about to s*ck my hand in.

“Ahn… Hmm, uh….”

Every time my fingers grazed her, pleasurable moans escaped Luna’s lips, as though she were in agony.

“Luna, how does it feel…?”

“Mm, I don’t… know… Hmm. Uhnn…”

In response to my question, Luna, seemingly embarrassed, buried her face in the pillow. But the moans that had already begun to escape weren’t going to stop just because she covered her mouth with the pillow.

Slurp, slurp, slurp.

I stimulated Luna’s warm core as if gently scratching an itchy spot.

With the lightest touch, almost teasingly pulling back my strength, I softly traced her with my fingers.

It could almost be described as teasing.

But even that slight stimulation made Luna’s back arch, and the grip on her blanket tightened even more.

“Hng…!”

Witnessing this, I became incredibly excited, leaving me with no choice but to eventually lower my pants. My member, already rock hard to the point of pain, was now fully exposed.

I slowly placed it against Luna’s slick and smooth thighs.

Slurp.

With my member’s tip pressed against her slightly parted entrance, I wondered how it would feel to enter her like this.

To be honest, I wanted to do it.

But I hesitated, unsure of how our relationship might change if I pushed further. So, with no other choice, I had to settle for rubbing my aching member against the outside of her thighs.

Slurp, squeak.

Truthfully, even this felt pretty good.

Pressing down on Luna’s shoulders from above.

This sensation of rubbing my member in the space between her b*tt cheeks.

Slip, squeak, slurp.

Just this alone brought a feeling of completion, much like the act of penetration. Was it the same for Luna?

Every time my thigh met her b*tt with a sound, Luna trembled as though struck by lightning, unsure of what to do with herself.

“Hassan, huh… Is… it not inside?”

She continually asked me if I had penetrated her.

“It hasn’t gone in. Don’t worry.”

“But…then why… Hmm, uh, aaah! Huh, my stomach’s ringing…”

Luna is usually not very conscious of such things, but at night, she’s surprisingly cute. I want to nibble on her everywhere.

I want to make her pregnant with my babies, spraying my seed into her belly.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

So, feeling as though I were making Luna pregnant, I rocked my hips, stimulating the space between her thighs.

Sleek, sleek. Sleek, sleek.

“Aaah, uh, haaah, uuuh… Hassan, it’s strange, down below… haaa.”

Every time, uncontrollable moans burst from Luna’s mouth, making me feel incredibly good. It felt as though I was truly penetrating her.

Is this the reason why s*xual content businesses thrive so much?

“Ugh, hnnn, hhhaaa…!”

Eventually, Luna convulsed violently under me, shaking and stretching her legs, making her body go rigid.

My member, trapped between her tightly closed thighs and the space above her privates, was squeezed so tightly that it was difficult to move.

“Aah, hmm, aaah…”

After convulsing for a while, Luna slumped down. I would normally stroke her hair or massage her to thank her for working so hard, but since I hadn’t yet reached my climax, I was left unsatisfied. Rubbing against her sensitive thighs would put too much strain on Luna.

So, guided by my s*xual desire, I flipped Luna over and brought my member close to her face.

Sleek.

Luna looked up at me with slightly frightened eyes. I too felt embarrassed and awkward, but my desire was stronger.

Crushing.

I pressed Luna’s soft cheek with my member, and after a while, she slowly opened her mouth, taking my member in.

Sleek, hmmm.

Soon, Luna slowly sat up, her head bowed toward my lower half. Using her hands and mouth, she licked and massaged my member.

“Haa, hmm…”

At this point, it must mean that Luna has also opened up emotionally to this kind of intimacy, right?

The sensation of being stimulated felt good, but it was even more exciting knowing that Luna was willingly doing it for me.

This is the feeling and perspective of being the dominating male.

“Tslep, slep…”

This is already the third time Luna has performed a bl*wjob. Since she’s someone who quickly applies what she learns, this was quite pleasurable even from a technical standpoint.

“Tslep, tslepr…”

I gently placed my hand on Luna’s soft hair and lightly stroked it. Each time her hair was touched, her mouth plunged even deeper.

“Cough, khk, hmm.”

Eventually, Luna started coughing, her throat deeply stimulated by my member. She must have gotten too excited. Looking at her now, she’s still quite inexperienced.

Despite that, Luna continued to lick and stimulate my member with her cheeks, and I gradually began to feel the impending org*sm.

I’ll c*m inside her mouth.

So, after a few more minutes, I ejaculated into Luna’s mouth.

“Uep!”

I tightly held Luna to prevent her from spitting it out, but even without my intervention, Luna didn’t spit out my c*m while I was ejaculating.

“Hmm, a lot came out.”

Did a lot come out, she wonders?

Soon after, Luna tightly closed her mouth and swallowed all my semen. Watching her swallow my semen, right before my eyes, felt so surreal.

I was moved to the point of tears.

“Hmm, it tastes weird… It’s slippery…”

“You did well.”

“This kind of thing, I’ll only do it for Hassan.”

“I understand.”

When I gave an awkward response and scratched my nose, Luna seemed to have something incredibly embarrassing to say, hesitating and fumbling with her words.

“Later, Hassan… When your Karma level goes up and you become a hero, I’ll do something even more amazing for you…”

Something more amazing? I couldn’t even imagine what could be more incredible than what happened today.

“What is it…?”

“There’s an incredible technique passed down only to Ideope’s daughters…!”

Is it like a bedroom Voodoo ritual passed down to the pink-haired girls? I couldn’t even dare to imagine.

I silently pulled Luna’s waist toward me. Her soft and squishy body felt amazing against mine.

After cumming, I felt relaxed and sleepy, and holding Luna’s cool body made me feel as if I were embracing a beautiful corpse. It was incredibly peaceful.

“Hassan, I’m hot. Too warm-!”

Luna complained, squirming, about my warm body, but I just wanted to sleep like this. So I held her all night until morning.

*

“Hassan, what should we do! Hassan!”

Someone shook me violently and screamed, causing me to wake up in a start. For a moment, I thought I was back to the days when I was a slave to Elpride, which scared me.

But once I saw the interior of Luna’s small cabin, I finally relaxed.

Looking out the window, it was still morning – a time when only industrious dwarf merchants busy with the morning market were bustling about.

“Hassan-!”

Luna’s energy right after waking up in the morning wasn’t anything new, so I accepted it, but this morning felt different.

“What’s wrong, Luna? What’s the matter?”

“Hassan, it’s a major crisis! Come take a look here!”

Luna’s pupils were dilated, and her palms were fluttering around nervously, making her look as if she were panicking.

So, I grabbed her hand trying to pull me and instead pressed the pressure point at the crease of her wrist to calm her down.

That’s the best way to calm someone down.

Kkooouu-

“Ayaht-!”

Did that hurt?

“Are you feeling a bit calmer now?”

“No! It’s a major crisis!”

What on earth could be so serious that Luna can’t stay calm like this?

In any case, I hastily gathered my clothes and stepped out of the cabin.

Every time I opened the door, there was always that abandoned plot of land.

A place filled with junk that used to make me wrinkle my nose. Now, it’s a garden carefully cleaned and tended by me and Luna overnight. Although I didn’t show it much, I was actually happy that we now had a garden.

However, something felt a little different about the garden.

Our small plot of land, obtained through much effort, seemed oddly changed compared to the last time I saw it the night before.

“Hassan, look at that!”

Luna pointed with her finger to a corner of the garden. There, the ground was torn up in a messy and pitiful state.

If memory serves, that was where Luna had spent half the day yesterday planting potatoes.

“Someone has dug up and eaten all my potatoes!”

It looked like someone had come overnight and turned the potato field upside down.

“My potatoes…!”

Luna seemed furious that her hard work had been destroyed. What kind of kid could have dug up all of Luna’s potatoes during the night?

I approached the chaotically dug-up spot and noticed something odd lying intermittently on the ground – strange looking tufts of fur.

Sleek.

I picked up one of those brown tufts.

Hair? It seems too short to be hair.

It carried a wild, untamed aura that immediately brought to mind Hippolyte, who was suffering due to a recent stock failure that left her impoverished.

Had Hippolyte, in her state of desperation, resorted to stealthily digging up and eating our potatoes?

But then I corrected my thought – Hippolyte’s body is smooth, and there’s nowhere on her that such short fur would grow.

“Animal fur, I think.”

Wild animal fur.

That was my conclusion.

Luna chimed in with her own assessment.

“It’s raccoon fur!”

“Raccoon?”

“Look at these tracks! The fur smells like raccoon. The raccoons dug up and stole all my potatoes! I won’t forgive them!”

Sure enough, there were numerous tiny footprints, likely from a four-legged creature, scattered across the garden.

Indeed, in this world, creatures ranging from rats and thief cats to stray dogs, foxes, badgers, raccoons, and more, wander around even within the city.

Therefore, it’s important to carefully handle any food waste near our home. The smell from the meal we grilled last night must have attracted the animals.

Luna and I reluctantly gathered up the remaining potato scraps from the ground and replanted them to make the best of what remained.

As Luna looked as if she were close to tears with her large eyes, I had no choice but to help her diligently.

Thanks to this, I was fully awake, and my tense body from the night relaxed, which was somewhat of a silver lining.

When we had mostly restored the garden, Luna straightened her back and spoke as if she had made a decision.

“We need to create a totem to keep raccoons out.”

“A totem? Is there such a thing as an animal scare totem?”

“Of course. I’ll make a beast-warding totem.”

At the mention of the familiar word “fear totem,” I recalled the events that happened in the underground sewer system.

There, we encountered Somnia, the cultist voodoo priest, who had horrifyingly stitched together animal corpses to create an ugly totem.

It was an image so terrifying that one couldn’t easily forget, a fitting name for the fear totem indeed.

For some reason, the idea of having such a thing in my garden didn’t sit well with me.

“Can’t we just put Keng Keng out in the garden? Keng Keng guards our home well, doesn’t he?”

“Keng Keng will get eaten by the raccoons. That would be pitiful for Keng Keng!”

“That’s true.”

Raccoons may look cute but are, in fact, incredibly powerful wild beasts. They are fearsome apex predators. Their bites can even lead to rabies, so they require extra caution.

It seems that even the wolf spider, Keng Keng, can’t catch raccoons. The size difference must be two or three times, after all. Moreover, Keng Keng has no poison. While Keng Keng may look intimidating, ecologically speaking, he’s just a nobody.

Anyway, we were up early dealing with this raccoon incident or whatever it was.

Luna said she’d head to the morning market to buy materials for the fence repair and the totem as soon as it opens. Since I had some spare time, I decided to stay at home and play around.

Lately, it feels like I’m always hanging around at home.

I really hope Mars Guild gets finished soon, so I can find some work again. I can’t believe I traveled to this bizarre world only to experience unemployment as a young man.

So, I thought about playing around with a coin bag that contained ten gold coins, tapping it around or something. But eventually, I felt it would be a waste of time just killing it that way. Hence, I decided to take the coin bag and head out.

Maybe it’s a good idea to do some self-development. Since Luna is expecting something from me, I should try to apply myself and put in some effort.

And so, I set out for East Gate Street, where the rich and high-level adventurers reside.

I made my way towards a densely packed area within the East Gate Street, where small houses were crammed together to save on the expensive land.

Hippolyte’s home was located somewhere in this neighborhood.

Since this was a rare chance to earn some gold coins, I figured it would be a good idea to take a month-long trial class from Hippolyte to learn about ether or whatever it was.

If after paying one gold piece for a trial month, it turns out not to be worth it, I could simply stop.

With that in mind, as I made my way through the crooked alleys of the East Gate, familiar streets I had been to before came into view.

I wasn’t sure if Hippolyte was home. Would she be angry that I just showed up? She’s a busy Gold Tier adventurer, so she might not be available.

In a world without phones, it’s common to miss each other and not meet all day if the timing isn’t right.

If she’s not around, I might explore the city or head into some forest where no one else is to research necromancy.

With this mindset, I arrived at Hippolyte’s small house and knocked on the entrance.

Knock. Knock.

After hearing two rhythmic knocks, there was a noticeable rustling sound from inside the house. It was early, so apparently, she was still at home.

For a moment, I felt a bit awkward and strange realizing that I was visiting a woman’s home by myself. But since I was already here, I decided to steel myself and proceed.

Soon enough, I heard the door creak open.

Half-n*ked, the tattoos adorning her body greeted me.

“Uh, um…”

“What’s this? You, why are you here so early in the morning?”

It was Antiope. Antiope greeted me with a groggy face, dressed in thin silk clothing.

Her sister, wasn’t it? Had she stayed the night?

“Err, I came to see Hippolyte…”

“So early in the morning? Why?”

With her forehead creased from either sleepiness or agitation, she looked intimidating.

“Well, um, what do you call it… I wanted to learn ether from Hippolyte…”

“Oh, what? What’s that thing you’re talking about?”

Before I could finish my sentence, Antiope was already fiddling with her ears.

“Well, I’ll teach you instead, so come on in.”

Sleek.

Like a mimic disguised as a treasure chest reaching out to its prey, a rather long hand slipped out from the slightly opened door and firmly grabbed my neck.

Before I knew it, I was yanked inside and shoved against a wall, cornered with no time to resist. Her movements were fast and powerful.

Indeed, a Templar Knight.

Anyway, that wasn’t the main issue.

Sleek, sleek.

After Antiope, Hippolyte’s sister, cornered me, she suddenly began untying my pants.

“What on earth are you doing?”

“You were here to get o*al from my sister, right?”

That’s not what I meant…

Deciding to simply observe how things would unfold, I remained motionless.

[Author’s Note]

Every time I use the word “ether,” I always feel a bit uneasy, so I wanted to give it a try…

It was just… this sort of thing.

Anyway, it seems Hassan needs to get stronger soon…

But Hassan doesn’t put in much effort… He probably needs a little more whipping…
