A Thirsty Deer Seeks Water

Aila, an orphan abandoned in the forest at a young age, lives alone in a small hut.

One day, while foraging for herbs, she finds Valentin, a deer beastman with an injured leg. She takes him in and nurses him back to health, and they begin living together.

As a token of gratitude, Valentin sheds his antlers every year for Aila, improving her impoverished life. Over time, they become each other’s only friend and family.

Years pass, and one night, Aila wakes up feeling a strange sensation. She opens her eyes to find Valentin licking between her legs.

“…Valentin, what are you doing?”

“I’m thirsty.”

“If you’re thirsty, you should drink water.”

“I saw water flowing from between your legs.”

“That’s not… that’s not a well!”

“It looks pretty deep. And delicious.”

While Aila panics in shock, Valentin remains calm and composed. Feeling the dampness between her legs, Aila senses something unusual.

“Can’t I drink it?”

Valentin looks up at her with innocent eyes, his expression as pure as if he were genuinely drinking water from a well.

“…Valentin, you’re acting strange today.”
