Olivia’s voice cracked at the end, and her breathing was so short it seemed like it would stop at any moment. Alois, who held her tightly as if he were about to crush her, bit into her shoulder and bound her entire body so she couldn’t escape. There was no gap between the two overlapping bodies. The bed swayed, unpleasantly scratching the floor with creaking sounds. Alois’s waist thrust up between Olivia’s legs with wild movements. The interval between the sloshing sounds of skin meeting skin grew shorter and shorter.

“Ha, hah, hic, haang! Uh! Mmm!”

Olivia screamed, throwing her head back with her eyes rolled up. Her legs, which had been swaying in the air, trembled. s*men shot from the tip of the p*nis buried in the deepest place. The heat that had accumulated through dozens of heat cycles poured into her body all at once. The s*men that flowed out along the fierce stream was so intense it was hard to believe it was a single ej*culation, filling her womb completely. Another wave of s*men flowed into her womb, which was already overflowing with enough s*men from the previous ejaculations.

An unbearably large sense of elation came frighteningly. Alois caught Olivia’s waist, which was sharply curved upward. Her inner walls, intoxicated with the thrill as long as the ej*culation lasted, writhed, squeezing his c*ck. The p*nis, which had spilled s*men messily, far from losing strength, began to swell hard again. Ah. Olivia, who had been enjoying the languid afterglow and sinking into a weary sense of exhaustion, sighed briefly.

“Really, really, disgusting, mmm.”

She gave up counting how many times it had been. She was now at the limit that she’s holding onto her fading consciousness. Since she had decided to give herself to him anyway, it seemed better to entrust herself completely to him. Her unfocused eyes, groping through blurry vision, moved sluggishly. Even in the flickering world, the sharp-featured handsome man never let go of her gaze.

How could he have such a hot and rough p*nis below while having such a coldly neat face? Even as she was losing consciousness, she couldn’t miss appreciating his handsome face, thinking that face was the problem.

One day, then another. The days faithfully followed the heat cycle that wouldn’t easily end.

She never thought she would leave Alois’s forest for a while, let alone in this way. The fact that she was out was amazing enough, but she hadn’t expected someone would be with her.

“Why do you keep staring?”

“No. It’s still a bit awkward, okay?”

Alois laughed lightly at Olivia, who had been staring blankly at him but startled when their eyes met, quickly rolling her eyes away. Ironically, when he was in beast form, she had spoken freely and said whatever she wanted, but now that he was in human form, she seemed more awkward and uncomfortable, which was amusing to see.

In fact, Alois himself hadn’t remained in complete human form for so long that when his image was reflected in mirrors or windows, he didn’t easily recognize it as himself. Even the most recent time, when he briefly took human form for one night during that incident with Olivia, he had been so focused on enduring the heat fever that he didn’t have the mental capacity to care about his changed appearance.

The two, dressed in dark robes with hoods pulled down to cover their faces, moved quietly through the bushes where there was no path, taking advantage of the darkness that had fallen on the forest. Since Olivia was familiar with the forest paths and there were animals that showed the way even at night, approaching the administrator’s group wasn’t very difficult.

“The scale must be large, there are quite a number of guards for people moving secretly.”

Each cart pulled by horses had a large cage covered with black cloth. Though not all the guards would be out at night, there were still at least four personnel attached to each cart.

“Since they’re moving secretly, the security won’t be lax. If our goal is to free them all, it’s dangerous to get caught in the middle. Once we’re discovered, security at the remaining locations will be tightened.”

“That’s right. So we need to help them all escape at once before security at any one place gets tighter.”

Though she had brought Alois out saying she would help and handle it herself, Olivia, who had spent her life making medicine and treating animals in the village, had never done anything like this secret field infiltration. She had pictured it in her mind many times before coming out, but when actually facing the guards and trying to do something secretly, she felt like she was going crazy with even her breathing feeling awkward.

Alois, who had deliberately let Olivia do as she wanted, finally shook his head and stopped her as she began to breathe oddly and fidget.

“You’re trying to infiltrate like that? Far from approaching secretly, you’re advertising ‘I’m suspicious’ to anyone who sees you.”

“N-no way. I was being extremely natural and secretive just now.”

Sure you were. Alois naturally transferred the small powder pouch she was holding to his own hand. At his pickpocketing, more skillful than a thief’s, Olivia belatedly exclaimed “Oh!” in surprise at her empty hands.

“Shh.”

As Olivia accidentally stepped on a branch in her surprise, Alois hurriedly covered her mouth with his hand and pulled her into his arms. After watching out for a guard who was looking around while hiding behind a large tree, Alois quietly bent down and whispered in Olivia’s ear, who was nestled in his arms.

“If you had come alone, you would have already become a ghost here.”

Recognizing that he was teasing her about her past statement, Olivia made a sulky face but remained obediently in his arms for now. She slightly raised her eyes to observe Alois’s expression as he embraced her from behind. Unlike herself, who was extremely tense, Alois seemed consistently detached and relaxed, as if everything was familiar to him.

Even after becoming human, his body was still large and long compared to hers, so Olivia had to tilt her head back quite a bit to meet Alois’s eyes.

“I don’t want to leave you alone because I’m worried, but this is the fastest method, so it can’t be helped.”

Alois, who had been playfully grabbing and releasing her soft cheek with the hand covering her mouth, released her from his arms with a regretful expression.

“Don’t do anything here, just count to 100. Don’t make noise by wandering around or trying to help like before. Really, don’t do anything, don’t turn your head, just stay still. Can you do that?”

Doesn’t this make me more like a lucky charm Alois brought along rather than an accomplice? It felt strange somehow, but Olivia obediently nodded. In matters like this, one should always follow the words of the elder or the experienced. As instructed, she covered her nose and mouth with the mask she had prepared in advance.

Alois clutched the small pouch containing sleeping herb powder that he had taken from her and headed toward the carts and the guards’ campsite.

When in beast form, he could hide his body in darkness even without shadows, but in his newly regained human form, the cursed abilities he could wield were limited. Alois, who had been using the curse quite usefully except during the heat cycle, found the current state annoying. But when he recalled Olivia’s expression, staring at him in a daze as if enchanted, he thought it was an appropriate exchange of advantages and disadvantages.

Approaching the shadows created by the campfire near the campsite, Alois skillfully stepped into the shadow and melted into it. Since he could only move between actual existing shadows, he slowly approached the central campfire, avoiding people’s eyes, and with a tap, surprisingly easily dropped the sleeping powder into the campfire from within the shadow.

“I’m back.”

Anticipating that she would naturally be startled if he suddenly spoke, he now skillfully covered Olivia’s mouth first. Olivia, who had been counting about 87 seconds, gave a thumbs up to Alois, who had returned without any commotion. Thinking her praise was generous, Alois also covered his nose and mouth with a hood like her and waited for the smoke from the sleeping herbs burning in the campfire to fill the campsite.

“Do they all seem to have collapsed?”

“Yes. We have plenty of time, but let’s move quickly just in case.”

Though the sleeping herbs would make them sleep deeply, they wouldn’t prevent waking up from strong stimuli, so they approached the cages as quietly as possible. When he slightly lifted the black cloth, a wolf-dog curled up listlessly inside was visible. Olivia soothed the little ones with a familiar voice so they wouldn’t be startled. Though it had been a long time since they met, the little ones immediately recognized Olivia, who had treated them since they were young, and soon wagged their tails in greeting.

“Quietly, don’t make noise and come out. Okay?”

— Why are you here?

“I’ll help you escape from here.”

While Olivia was exchanging greetings, Alois searched the collapsed guards and found a bundle of cage keys.
