## Chapter 61 – [Interlude] Cloudy
I woke up well past noon, overcome with an unbelievable languor. It seemed I had achieved true manhood last night. A transcendent sense of satisfaction bubbled within me. My fiery club had successfully sunk Cloudy, repeatedly and again. I was almost afraid of my own boundless potential.
The feeling of her elastic, warm interior was still vivid. I vividly recalled her hips swaying, consumed by the urge to procreate. And how soft her breasts were. And her moans…
But perhaps it was I who was ravaged and left in a mess.
Look at me now. I don’t even have the strength to lift a spoon. My hands and feet trembled. This was a languor akin to the brink of death. I was nothing more than a primitive dildo-creature, regressed by lust.
I’m not kidding, I think I ejaculated about a liter (figuratively speaking). Having drained so much of that vital essence of life, it’s no wonder I felt close to death.
No regrets. I have no regrets even if I die like this. Homeland? Cloudy’s embrace is my homeland. Bye-bye, my beautiful Hell Korea.
Anyway, as I was indulging in such vulgar thoughts with the languor of a weekend morning, I turned to my side and saw Cloudy’s face. She was still asleep. Her breathing was close.
“…”
Seeing her beautiful face made me feel deeply ashamed of having such vulgar thoughts.
But, damn it. What do I do now? According to my plan, Cloudy was supposed to wake up before me, wearing nothing but an apron, and greet me with, “Oh, you’re awake? Hehe, darling~♥,” marking the start of the morning.
As I was worrying about the schedule being messed up from the start, she slowly opened her eyes. And our eyes met.
“…”
“…”
My face flushed. I felt incredibly embarrassed to meet her eyes. We were still naked, after all. The bed was damp, and Cloudy’s skin was visible between the sheets. My blood was boiling.
“Hehe, did you sleep well?”
Cloudy, who had been staring into my eyes for a while, suddenly hugged me. I hugged her back, feeling dazed. Her warmth was transmitted to me. Just moments ago, I felt like I was dying from the depletion of life force, but becoming one with her filled me with life again, restoring my vitality.
“Cl, Cloudy… I…”
The words wouldn’t come out. I didn’t know what to say. This was unfamiliar to me. How many years had it been since I truly felt human warmth? Since coming to this world, I had always been alone. Suffering and agonizing alone, enduring a lonely hardship without anyone to share my wounds with.
I was insignificant, and therefore lived like trash. In fact, I was trash. I had killed eight people. I was no different from a serial killer, just an antisocial murderer. It was justified, but I was terrified that I would still think the same way when I returned home…
But Cloudy offered such a trashy guy like me immense happiness with her goddess-like warmth.
There is no unconditional happiness. I always think that way.
Someday, I might have to return it all of a sudden. I still think that way.
But, she—.
“Hmm~…”
As I was pondering, she tilted her head and kissed me.
—Chu.
“Haa…”
“…Ah.”
I accepted her tongue, which was irresistibly entangling with mine. There was no way I could reject her. Even though she had just woken up, she passionately caressed my mouth.
After kissing for a while, Cloudy parted her lips, leaving a trail of saliva. Her hot breath touched my nose.
“If you can’t express it in words, you can just overlap your lips like this.”
“…Okay.”
I see.
That’s how it is.
I kissed Cloudy again. I hugged her and pulled back the covers. I slid my thigh between her legs. Naturally releasing my intense lust. I thrust my swollen penis back inside her. A period of intense lovemaking followed.
***
“What are you going to do now? It’s still midday.”
“I think I need to get some food first.”
After another round of lovemaking with unbelievable vigor, we got dressed and went down to the first floor of the inn. As soon as we came out, the eyes of the other guests were fixed on Cloudy and me. There was no way a building in this era would have soundproofing. Feeling both embarrassed and confident, I puffed out my chest like a mountain and sat down at a corner table.
“Is the food here any good?”
“I don’t know? It doesn’t taste like anything, so I can’t really tell.”
“That’s better, I guess.”
If it didn’t taste like anything rather than tasting bad, it was good enough.
Cloudy and I finished our meal at the inn and went outside. The reason we bothered to come out was because if we stayed in the room, we would surely lose track of time and act like animals again. My body was still imbued with Cloudy’s scent and bodily fluids…
“Do you have anything else to do? I remember you said you were doing a request?”
“Ah, right. These things in my bag. I have a few request items left.”
“I see. Then let’s go together. I don’t have anything to do, and I don’t want to be apart from you.”
Cloudy said, linking her arm with mine. My heart fluttered. There was no reason to refuse, and I didn’t want to refuse. I didn’t want to be apart from her either. There were no cell phones or anything in this world, so once you parted ways, it was very difficult to meet again unless you made a specific appointment.
“Then let’s go together and split the reward. The request reward is 3 silver.”
“Hee, 3 silver? Then instead of splitting it with me, why don’t we just rent a room?”
“What? A room?”
“Hehehe… Why are you asking like that?”
—Gulp.
She was as lewd a woman as she was sensitive. Cloudy was proposing to live with me. I swallowed involuntarily. For me, the wealth of this world was nothing more than a means to prolong survival. But now I seemed to have found the right use for that money.
“You blush easily. Hehe, you look manly, but inside you’re completely… No, I like that too. I just like you.”
“No, hey. D, don’t say things like that so suddenly in public… It’s so embarrassing…”
“Let’s go~. It’s still daytime, so we can go out for a bit.”
It was past noon, but with Cloudy, a true powerhouse, there seemed to be a lot we could do even at this hour.
What we needed now were gremlins and goblins, and limonia grass and corpse mushrooms. I didn’t know the ingredients, but the two monsters were so common that we could find them quickly.
And so, the two of us headed out of the city gates. In that situation, which was like a date, a warmth like a spring breeze welled up in my heart. It was a historic moment when an outcast from another world transformed into a popular person.
This wasn’t the mindset of someone who was about to slaughter monsters, cut off their dicks, and gouge out their eyes. Carelessness on the battlefield meant death. But with her by my side, what was there to worry about? The excitement wouldn’t stop.
“There aren’t many plants like this in my homeland. Most of the country was just endless desert.”
“Did you live there all the time?”
She walked at my pace and told her story.
“Yeah, I wandered around in the sandstorms for quite a while. I only left Shurdic recently. I became curious about places that weren’t deserts.”
“How is this place compared to the desert?”
“I don’t know yet, but…”
Cloudy stopped for a moment, suddenly put her mouth to my ear, and whispered.
“Now that I’ve found you, I’ve succeeded in half of my goal, I guess?”
“U, uhiiek?!”
I trembled with the pleasure that flowed through my body from my ears. Our eyes met… No, damn it, if we start this pattern again, my dick won’t survive!
“If we’ve come this far, there won’t be anyone but us, right?”
“W, wait a minute! Did you drag me all the way up here with that in mind?!”
“What are you talking about? I’m the one who followed you. So… how about it?”
She grabbed the hem of her clothes as if she was going to take off her top.
“Do you want to do it here? Or do you not like doing it outside?”
“Keuh!”
If I had to choose, I preferred a narrow indoor space where we could enjoy ourselves alone rather than a public space. I stopped her from taking off her clothes. What an energetic woman.
“W, what are you doing outside! I don’t think that’s okay, I!”
“Hmm… well, that’s fine too. Then let’s start working. There will always be opportunities. It’s okay to wait a little while.”
“Ugh…”
The mountain was bustling.
I cleared the carnal thoughts that had sprung up in my lower body and looked around. Ignoring the sounds of birds flapping their wings and insects crying out to find a mate, I identified the places where monsters were likely to be.
Goblins lived in caves. Gremlins also nested in dark places. Both were insignificant monsters, but it was common sense that two people were not enough to invade their lairs.
But the woman next to me was Cloudy, who could slaughter ordinary warriors in one blow. Drawing on my past experiences, I searched for places where they might be. I climbed mountains, crossed downhill slopes, and traversed valleys. Heading towards the center of the mountain.
“We’ve come pretty deep… Huh? I said we’ve come pretty deep.”
Cloudy kept clinging to me and playing tricks on me. Couples who had just started dating only had sex all day long, and that was exactly what it was like. We had to work first, so we couldn’t do that right now.
“Is that a gremlin nest?”
In the meantime, I found something similar to a gremlin nest.
It was a place surrounded by trees and vines.
Come to think of it, I got my ass kicked by gremlins last time. I thought I was really going to die back then. It was a good thing I got out before the escape route was blocked, but if I had been a little late, I would have been attacked by dozens of them and died.
Revenge time. It happened because I ran into them in a cave where the nests were concentrated, but there was no such danger in a place like this.
“Are those green monsters hiding over there gremlins?”
“Where?”
“There.”
“I can’t see them.”
Cloudy pointed, but I couldn’t see them. Gremlins were green, so it became difficult to find them once they started blending in with the surrounding vegetation. I asked.
“By the way, what’s the difference in eyesight between dark elves and humans?”
“I don’t know, because I’m not human. Can’t you see them?”
“No.”
Then Cloudy drew one of her curved swords. And with a nonchalant expression, she threw the sword. Threw it? No, that’s not quite the right expression. The curved sword flew in a straight line like a fired arrow.
—Teeeeng!!!
“Huh?”
Then I heard the gremlins’ unique screams from beyond the bushes.
“Can I just go and kill them?”
“Of course!”
We ran into the bushes. Inside, there was a family of gremlins hiding. From the slightly larger ones to the medium ones, and even the small ones. They were holding the body of a companion whose forehead had been pierced, and making threatening noises.
—Techyaaaa!!!
—Deshyaaaat!!
I swung my sword without hesitation.
I only needed to take three pairs of gremlin eyes, but there was no need to show them any consideration. Gremlins were shitty monsters that needed to be exterminated. Just thinking about it made me angry. Didn’t these guys tear up my quilted armor? I thought I was going crazy because of the repair costs back then.
It didn’t take more than five minutes to slaughter all the gremlins. I finished off the last one by lifting it up and throwing it to the ground.
—Gujyaak!
The guy screamed grotesquely as he was crushed.
I will never forgive the bastards who cut out my heart.
