I’ve woken up in a lot of ways, with what I would call a fair amount of that being after morning sex. It feels awesome, great, I should really expand my vocabulary but there's only so many ways you can describe how great certain things feel. Anyway me, I have woken up in many ways. 

However, never with a Dark Elf Futanari on top of me. Or… still inside me. 

That… and the fact that she clearly had morning wood, while still asleep, was an interesting experience to wake up to. The problem is I had to pee. 

A certain, a very very strong amount of me, wanted to do something else. Her cock was literally hard inside me and the horny was trying to steal my thoughts. But no, I couldn’t…. Wait, why couldn’t I just fuck all day? I didn’t need or have a job, I had money, and I had no tasks or obligations. 

The feeling of absolute freedom soaked me and I was suddenly neither horny, nor had to pee as bad. I was merely happy, cuddling with my temporary partner… god I wish I had played with those breasts more. 

A few minutes passed, before Silinthia’s voice was heard. 

“Enjoying yourself?” 

I froze, hands up, currently squishing her breasts a little. They were fun to play with! Come on! …I squished them again. 

“Yes.” 

She chuckled, before maneuvering a little bit and instantly realizing where her dick still was. She looked down at me, a smirk on her face. 

“Up for some morning fun?” 

“I would. Really. But I have to pee.” 

She pouted a little, and achingly slowly pulled out of me. I resisted making a sound but it was a fair challenge. 

“I have to start work soon anyway.” She sighed and got up. I noticed her room had a shower and bathroom last night.  

“Well…no reason we can’t multitask a little. We both need showers anyway right? Just let me use your bathroom first.” 

Her full smile returned. A while later, I walked out feeling even more refreshed than I had yesterday. Shower had mostly been a quick and fast affair, with us just mutually jerking each other more than anything else. She really did have to get to work after all. Still, her hand had felt nice and vice versa it had felt nice to wrap my hand around her dick and fondle her breasts, so I considered it a win. 

Now though? Now, sadly, I had to get back to my ‘life’. Wait, no, not sadly! I had a whole Elven town to explore! I should probably check in with my ‘group’ first though. It would just feel wrong to leave them in the wayside like that. I mean hell, I was still sharing a room with one of them. 

First though… I had, very stupidly, forgotten some important stuff in the public shower yesterday. A quick run back to grab my god damn sword and backpack, which were luckily still there, and I was still a bit worried. No one had taken my weapon, thank god, but I couldn’t find my shoes. I was suddenly very self-conscious about walking around an inn barefoot but it was probably fine. A quick check in on the dining/drinking area of the inn showed that my whole group had arisen for breakfast. Already they had begun eating. I headed on over. 

“Good morning Derek.” Konohora greeted me. 

“Good morning.” 

I sat down, and closed my eyes, just enjoying the silence. It was one of those comfortable silences, where everyone is just relaxing. At least… I thought so, till I felt something was wrong. I opened my eyes and Riary was focused on her own meal, not glaring at me to death, pulling a prank, or otherwise doing anything to express her ingrained anger towards me. In fact, that was almost kinda weird. She must have a lot on her mind. Or maybe I was really underestimating how much the whole Vanessa situation had affected Riary and she just, didn’t hate me as much anymore. 

Konohora was glancing at me but more so just because. There was a curiosity in her eyes but I couldn’t really place it. I didn’t think it was about how I spent my last night but- ah. I think I know what it is. She had asked me religiously what I was going to do once I got here, no doubt she was more than prepared and ready for the conversation we’d be having in a moment. 

No, it was Tyler staring at me, in some kind of weird… nervousness or anxiety. Tyler… you are so very young sometimes aren’t you? It was something I had felt about a few people. Experiences are strange like that. There are even people much older me than, that I can’t help but think of as young. Age plays a part of course, but experiences were the real meat of things. If you’ve just been exposed to less concepts, met less different kinds of people, read about less civilizations or history, you just weren’t as ‘there’ as others. Your mind lacked breadth. It wasn’t intelligence or even wisdom, more just if you’ve seen a thousand things, you may come up with at least ten answers. The person who only sees a hundred, might come up, or react, with just one thing. 

I was getting lost in my own thoughts again. 

“Good morning Tyler.”

“G-good morning Derek. Did you…” Tyler nearly trailed off before picking back up again “...have a good time last night?” 

I glanced over at Konohora who was resisting a chuckle and Riary, who was still fully focused on her meal, looking down. Well, I couldn’t resist dashing Tyler’s innocence onto the rocks. 

“Yes. I had a great time getting my ass obliterated by Silinthia. Pass the salt?” 

Tyler looked shocked and then extremely uncomfortable and Konohora couldn’t resist chuckling any longer. He did pass the salt though. I was mostly joking, I hadn’t ordered or gotten any food yet. Then I was surprised they had salt and pepper on the table. I was pretty sure spices were usually something rare, expensive, and difficult to get in medieval times. Fantasy land does it again somehow. Maybe I should look into that. Tracing mundane things back to their source might be fun. On Earth I could just wave it away, and the history of it, but who knows what the reason here is? Are there teleport mages, actual ones, transporting salt from the sea? Dwarven salt mines underground? Salt Golems? The answers could be amazing or boring with the addition of magic and fantasy. 

“We should discuss our plans going forward.” Konohora said, making us all look up. 

Ah, finally time for this conversation. 

I thought Riary was about to speak, but she stayed silent. Tyler also just looked at Konohora. I got a few more glances, but Konohora continued. 

“We need to stay here for at least a few more days, so that I can gather information properly. This inn should be fine for us to remain at while I do so. I believe we shouldn’t report the situation of the vampire or the baron Derek killed to the guild. We should keep that between us.” 

She looked at each of us and Riary and I nodded, but Tyler seemed confused. 

“But why? Shouldn’t we report what happened?” 

Konohora immediately shook her head. 

“Politics. There may be many barons but any allies he had that learned of what happened, could either point directly to Derek, or show back up and go out of their way to destroy that village. As for Vilconoff, that is especially dangerous information. If she had any allies, they could learn of what happened through the guild and hunt us down. That is potentially a looming danger, as anyone going to visit her would find a burned down mansion and villagers tilling to tell what happened if it means living another day. Our main means of defense there is simply that vampires tend not to form close bonds with people and even if they do, I personally doubt she had a lot of visitors.” 

Tyler looked utterly gobsmacked and honestly? So was I. It just made sense to me not to report you killed an ‘official’ and reporting that you killed a B-ranked vampire, at C-Rank, would make some waves. The idea of retaliation hadn’t really occurred to me. I clearly hadn’t been in this world long enough. I needed to adjust my expectations, hard, or I was going to wind up dead. 

“Next, we need to discuss our mission.” She looked at both Riary and Tyler and then glanced at me. “We are still searching for the gems. There’s technically no reason we can’t explore the elven kingdom for them but we shouldn’t linger without a solid lead. We’re still the sponsored Heroes of the Mauv Kingdom. They’ll be consequences if we don’t have a good reason for leaving it. I’ll be looking into the library here while I wait for more information from the guild and I recommend that we take this chance to relax here while I do so.” 

And finally, Konohora fully looked at me. 

“Derek. What are you going to do now?” 

I had a feeling this was the final time I was going to be asked that question. 

“Explore I guess and then register as an adventurer. You guys have been a great help but I guess we’ll be saying goodbye soon. I’ll figure it out from there really. I want to explore and search around the Elven Kingdom and beyond that, I don’t know.” 

Konohora frowned at that last bit. Ah, sorry Konohora, but I really do know what I want to do now. 

I’m going to find that goddamn potion. It exists in myths and legends and all sorts of modern entertainment, even in a few games that I greatly enjoyed. It must exist here. But… looking into magic might not be bad either. It’s one of the few draws of this world and might work out for me as well. Might even work better for me. The divine might even be an option, as long as they’re open to ‘I scratch your back, you scratch mine’ mentality. 

Konohora still nodded so. 

“So we have a few more days together, a week at most maybe. Alright, I’m going off to the guild after breakfast and to the library, I’d like you to come with me Tyler.” 

“Alright.”

“Riary?” 

“I’ll stay in my room today. My magic still isn’t fully back. Anything more than a fireball and my mana channels start to ache. They’re still ‘growing’ back through my body.” 

She seemed to shudder lightly at that. Yeah, that had to suck. 

Three pairs of eyes looked at me. I smiled. 

“Since the second I’ve got here, I’ve wanted to explore. Don’t worry about me, I’ll probably be fine. Hopefully.” I knocked on wood for good measure. “I’ll probably just wander around town, seeing the sights, maybe visit some interesting places.”

Konohora nodded. 

“Meet back up for dinner when it starts to get dark?” She asked everyone. 

We all nodded and that was that. Plans were made for the week. 

I got up and headed towards the door, waving to a certain smirking Dark Elf on my way out. Ah, but before I go. 

“Hey, does anyone know what I did with my shoes?” 

They all three looked at each other. 

“Derek, you’ve never worn shoes.” Tyler answered. 

What? No… that couldn’t be right… I struggled to think though. Sure, I didn’t have them last night but… I was wearing them when we dueled right! 

No… wait… I do… remember the feeling of grass on my feet but I must have taken them off right? Right? 

…okay, maybe, I had completely not realized I had no shoes or socks on the past week but what about before that?! 

My mind delved, digging deep, remembering all the walking we had done beforehand, the horrible rain and cold, and how… I couldn’t remember wet socks. I would have remembered wet socks. 

Back and back, all the way to when I was burned and before that. I was summoned into this world… while I was reading a book in bed. I had been wearing a shirt, pants, and underwear… and that was it. 

…oh my god I had never worn shoes. 

“I’ve been barefoot this whole time?!” 

What the fuck! 

***

Riary went back to her room. Her conversation with Konohora last night had been… both stressful and relieving. It was awful having to move around some questions so that she didn’t realize she had the gem. 

The reason she hadn’t told anyone yet was simple. If she told Tyler, if he found out she had it… how long would it take for them to learn how to use it? How long before Tyler… went home? Leaving her all alone. 

If they kept adventuring, kept looking for Gems, they might never find one. Years, they could spend years together, and eventually, Tyler won’t want to go home anymore. That’s what part of her told herself at least. She knew it was selfish and stupid, she knew she couldn’t hide this from them forever. It was just… hard. If she gave this up, a timer would start. How long till Tyler went home? He was a True Hero, he might be able to use it to go home immediately. Maybe it would take an hour, maybe they’d need to find an S-rank mage and that would take a long time but still. No matter what, the second she revealed she had it, that timer would start. 

It hurt. The idea hurt. She didn’t want Tyler to go. 

He was her best friend and… and she wanted to be more than just that. She wanted to be so much more than just that with that him. He was a bumbling naive fool… but he was good and honest and kind and courageous. He was everything a Hero, a real Hero, should be. 

She sighed and grabbed her backpack. She opened it up, intending to look at the Gem again, but her mind froze. She looked and looked and looked. 

But there was no Gem. 

Her searching became frantic, rapidly emptying her whole back pout, looking at all the items on the ground. But the Gem was gone. 

“No, no no no but who? How?! WHEN?!” 

She thought, hard, about who could have taken it, where it could have gone. Konohora? What, as some sort of ‘lesson’? No way. A single question and the game was up. She’d still ask it later but she really doubted she would have done that. It wasn’t like her. Tyler? Yeah, no. He wouldn’t go in her room, wouldn’t go through her stuff, and if for some reason he didn’t, definitely wouldn’t have been able to stay silent. 

Riary’s eyes flashed with a new heat, as a memory surfaced in her brain. 

“…and beyond that, I don’t know.”

Konohora frowned. 

Konohora frowned. She frowned. She only does that… when someone is lying. Derek… he had plans. Riary thought hard about what Derek knew about the Gems… and that scared her. 

He had never asked about them. No, worse, they had barely asked about them. What had they asked? ‘Have you seen this?’ That, that couldn’t have been it right? There was no way they’d make such a colossal mistake like that. 

But try as she might, she couldn’t find any memories to the contrary. Derek knew where her room was, Derek had the time while she was eating, and Derek might know about what the gems could do. Derek hadn’t had plans before, she trusted Konohora’s truth telling, but now he did? 

The fire in Riary’s eyes got brighter.
