Book 5: Chapter 3 (2)

Dark Continent (3rd)

Goggoru-chan’s home is located far north of here in a much more dangerous part of the Dark Continent. The monsters in that area will be more powerful than any we may encounter around here. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to protect the noble mage and Goggoru-chan on my own.

So, I think I’ll need to recruit the help of the strongest Dragon.

“Christina-san, I have a favour I’d like to ask you.”

[I don’t want to.]

“…I haven’t even told you what it is yet.”

[It doesn’t matter, don’t come closer to me! I won’t get close to that thing!]

“….”

The golden-eyed loligon gave me a firm refusal.

Which only made sense.

She’s not like the noble mage. She values her own mental sanctuary over a magic circle.

I’d be lying if I said I’m not interested to know what the loligon is thinking, but at the same time, I don’t want to know. The joy of a relationship comes from not knowing everything about each other. 

“I never knew that the Ancient Dragons were inferior to the Goggoru tribe.”

[…what did you say?]

“Well, it’s true, isn’t it? You’re afraid to get close to her even though both Fahren-san and I are standing close to her. I never knew Ancient Dragons were such weak creatures.”

[Guu….]

If I say the right things, I can provoke the loligon into doing what I want.

However, she was maintaining a level of composure I was unused to from her.

[H-Hmph! Say whatever you want, it doesn’t have any effect on me.]

“Is that so?”

[Of course it is!]

She puffed out her cheeks and turned away from me.

What’s wrong with her? Does she hate the idea of having her thoughts read that much? I don’t like the idea either, but I’m sure all of her thoughts would be about how much she hates me. What difference does it make if those thoughts are read? 

“I see. Then, I won’t force you.”

[….]

“We’ll go ahead and you can follow behind. You can stay as far back as you like. I won’t ask you to get closer to her, but please, can you carry Fahren-san on your back?”

[…aren’t humans also worried about having their thoughts read?]

“Yes, I’d think most humans are against the idea.”

[T-Then, how can you remain so calm?]

“I’m not calm.”

[That’s not true! Y-You’re not acting any different than normal!]

“That’s only true on the outside.”

My thoughts have been going crazy for a while now. 

If I take a moment to allow my mind to wander, it becomes filled with the most obscene delusions.

Goggoru-chan, I would be honoured if you’d allow me to skull fuck you. Have you heard of skull fucking? It’s an incredibly deadly technique that turns your mouth into an onahole. The best part about it is how the receiver’s body goes limp and is under the complete control of the giver.

“….”

She’s staying so quiet that I wonder if she was even reading my thoughts just now.

“…I read everything.”

“….”

What does she think about my thoughts?

Ah, I can’t stop myself.

Sorry.

[….]

“Then, if you’ll follow behind us.”

[Hmph….]

Although she hesitated for a moment, she eventually made her way closer to the noble mage.

This is a good chance. Christina has a fairly fragile heart and she can overreact to the slightest insult or compliment. She’s only a couple feet behind the noble mage now, I wonder if the chocololi can read someone that far away.

How far away can you actually read someone’s mind?

The noble mage said it was anyone within the reach of a spear, but I’d like to hear the answer from the person in question.

“Excuse me….”

I was about to ask her, but I got a reply before I could finish.

“You’re the only one I can read right now.”

“I see.”

It seems the noble mage is also at a safe distance.

I wonder if the distance of a spear that he heard was inaccurate.

“…he wasn’t far off. He’s just out of range.”

“Thank you. That’s good to know.”

She read everything.

Goggoru-chan reads my thoughts without even reacting. It doesn’t matter if they’re mundane thoughts or the most vulgar delusions a person can think about. I’ve acquired a powerful weapon.

A magnificent way of sexually harassing the chocololi.

I doubt she’ll be able to take it for long.

This is why I think it best if we stay close together. I’m afraid of what she’ll do if she’s allowed to be alone and think about what she’s read from my mind.

I wonder how she’d react to me if we met again.

“Are you ready, Christina-san?”

[S-Sure….]

The loligon responded with a strange mix of emotions on her face.

***

It took us only a few minutes in the air to reach our destination.

Unlike the last time I flew through the sky, we didn’t encounter a single enemy. The presence of an Ancient Dragon acts as a great deterrent to the monsters of the Dark Continent. We safely arrived at the cave without encountering a single enemy.

We arrived at Goggoru-chan’s home where the magic circle in question was located.

This was the first time I had been here in a few days.

We walked down the crudely made stairs and entered the basement.

The noble mage and the loligon were still staying a safe distance from Goggoru-chan, always keeping her mind reading ability in mind. So, for now, her mind was mine alone to harass. Constant thoughts of her chocolate pussy and what I’d do to her without any regard to how it made her feel.

The word pussy is starting to lose its meaning.

“….”

“….”

Thank you for allowing this to continue. Goggoru-chan is showing no outward signs of being affected by my harassment. She’s staring at me, but she’s still maintaining her emotionless expression that she has had on her face since we first met.

This isn’t so bad.

It’s nice knowing a beautiful girl is aware of what I want to do to her.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face…?”

“…it’s nothing.”

“Ah, right, I never asked for your name….”

“You already know it.”

“….”

That is true.

I read her status when I first met her.

Reading someone’s status isn’t too dissimilar from reading one’s thoughts. Maybe that’s why her words felt colder than usual.

The noble mage, on the other hand, was bright and excited by the magic circle.

“A-Astonishing! It’s astounding that a magic circle in such a location is still in such good shape. As expected of the Dark Continent. No, it couldn’t be, is something like that possible!? The source of this circle must be a member of the Demon race.”

With the magic circle reflected in his eyes, he waxed on about the glory of the magic circle.

It reminded me of when I first showed him my recovery magic.

It made me feel a little jealous. A magic potentially on par with my own.

“…does that make it valuable?”

Oh, Goggoru-chan spoke.

I’m glad that she feels comfortable talking to the others.

It’s also nice to hear her beautiful voice gracing my virgin ears.

“He values magic above anything else.”

“…I see.”

“Yeah.”

Christina was standing off to the side with a look of dissatisfaction. She had come here for a different reason altogether and was now being dragged around without any say in the matter.

She’s been helping me out a lot recently and even built the majority of Dragon City on her own. She even flew all the way here in order to help me, even if she did so begrudgingly. I should thank her for everything.

Right, let’s do just that.

The person in question is Christina. I think the best way to thank her is some kind of surprise. I’d love to see her panic as she tries to figure out what’s going on. Keeping this in mind, it might be good to throw a surprise party for our new mayor.

I can picture her jumping back in surprise then getting prepared for an attack before finally realizing what’s going on and feeling embarrassed for how she reacted.

I’m sure my approval rating with the loligon would skyrocket. Even if Tanaka is no longer the ruler of his land, Dragon City will flourish under its new mayor. I hope she stays for a long time, or for at least as long as she wants. If she keeps doing her best for me, I’ll fall in love with her.

“….”

“….”

My love for the loligon is starting to overflow.

The loligon is so cute.

I want to marry the loligon.

I want her to get pregnant and give birth to my child.

Damn.

Damn it.

I’m sorry, noble mage.

I’ve completely given in.

I’m only now realizing how dangerous Goggoru-chan’s ability can be. I wish Goggoru-chan wasn’t here. I wish Goggoru-chan was dead. Ah, that’s going too far. Sorry. I still want to creampire Goggoru-chan.

Goggoru-chan is cute.

I want to marry Goggoru-chan.

I want her to get pregnant and give birth to my child.

“….”

Damn it, I didn’t mean that.

Having my mind constantly be read is more stressful than I imagined. I’m losing control of my thoughts and getting confused. If this keeps up, it might cause my mind to break.

Maybe this is what the early stages of schizophrenia feel like.

“….”

What can I do to calm down?

My previous life. The jealousy I felt everyday. My co-workers spending time with their friends and family while I was left alone. They’re all middle-aged now and living boring, mundane lives. 

That did it.

Ahh.

Just take a deep breath and calm down.

“….”

“….”

I don’t want to be hated by Goggoru-chan. I have nothing to offer her but my true feelings.

Good, it’s working.

I think I’m okay.

I want to spend two hours french kissing Goggoru-chan.

“….”

“….”

Maybe I can give in to my delusions while still maintaining my own sanity.

The loligon was growing more impatient and by the time she started tapping her foot on the ground, the noble mage was finally finished.

He examined it to completion.

The look of ecstasy on the middle-aged man’s face was not enjoyable to see.

“You’ve shown me something wonderful.”

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the noble mage more excited. He gave Goggoru-chan a deep bow and thanked her. He took the time to sketch the magic circle down on a sheet of paper.

I should also thank her.

“Thank you for your assistance.”

“…I didn’t do much.”

“You let us into your home.”

If you possess underwear, I’d like a pair as a souvenir. A micro bikini or thong would look great on a loli. I hope that Goggoru-chan will enjoy every minute of the summer beach.

“….”

“….”

I know.

I’m sorry, Goggoru-chan.

In my defense, it’s common for a man of my age to have erotic fantasies. I’d be grateful if you could ignore it. Though, that may be difficult for you to do given your ability.
