Chapter 97: Crossing the Line



Chapter 97: Crossing the Line

After returning to the Feilong and setting sail, Thomas asked, "So, what did you think?" to the woman standing next to him.

"She's a lot stronger than that sandy cunt," replied Caenis, adding, "Her spiritual energy is much more potent. Not quite at the level of a God, but closer than anyone else we've met thus far."

Nodding his head, Thomas remarked, "Well, she is regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world. Even people in the Four Blues are aware of her, so it isn't surprising that she has accumulated a bit of faith..."

Tearing his eyes away from the increasingly distant Perfume Yuda, Thomas looked down at Caenis and asked, "Could you defeat her if you went all out?"

Snorting, Caenis replied, "I could defeat her now if you didn't care about the means. Her Strength, Endurance, and Agility are only around B-Rank, even with her Haki. That petrification ability of hers is a problem, but if I kept my distance and used a shield and spear made from that Poneglyph material, I could easily claim her head."

Though he didn't think it would be 'easy,' Thomas didn't doubt Caenis was capable of defeating Hancock. However, while Hancock was undoubtedly a pain in the ass, she was still an ally. She sure as hell didn't act like it, but that was one of the downsides to working with individuals who possessed Conqueror's Haki. Once they made up their minds, the only way to change them was to defeat them...

Placing his left hand around Caenis's shoulder, Thomas pulled her closer as he stared at the Perfume Yuda, now a dot on the horizon. Such public displays of intimacy would usually earn him an elbow to the ribs. Instead, Caenis just lightly bumped him with her shoulder, as, despite his efforts to keep it hidden, she could sense the fury burning deep within him...

With Hancock making it clear they weren't welcome on Amazon Lily, Thomas retired to his cabin with Caenis, helping the latter replenish her Mana while Benienma snuck over to the island to deliver a message. His original plan was to swim over with Caenis, but, to his surprise, she shot down his proposal immediately. They 'were' in the Calm Belt, after all. If a colossal Sea King attacked them midway through the journey, there was a very good chance he would be taking a timeout in its stomach.

"Master, I have returned," said the familiar voice of Benienma, appearing in Thomas's cabin despite the fact he and Caenis were currently in the middle of a 'Mana Transfer.'

Though he had gotten used to Benienma dropping in on him, Thomas's movements slowed a bit as he asked, "What did they have to say? When will Astolfo be returning?"

Bowing her head slightly, Benienma replied, "Shirou-san said he would speak with the Snake Princess once she returned from her trip. As for Lady Astolfo, she is resting in her room..."

Before Thomas could respond, Caenis abruptly locked her legs around him and said, "You can go play once we're finished..."

Meeting Caenis's fierce aquamarine eyes, Thomas began to quicken his movements as he linked their fingers together and pinned her to the bed. She could easily overpower him and break free. Instead, she adopted a toothy grin before snapping her teeth, daring him to kiss her.

Though she had bitten him on more than one occasion, Thomas didn't hesitate to lean forward and seize Caenis's lips. When his tongue slipped into her mouth, she closed her teeth threateningly. When he didn't back away, she returned the favor, pressing and intertwining their tongues as she put a little more strength in her legs...

As it was out of the ordinary for Astolfo not to visit him immediately after her arrival, Thomas knew something was up before he reached her room. He even had a pretty good idea of what it might be. However, even with time to prepare, Thomas was still left dumbfounded by what awaited him in the cabin next to his own.

Sitting atop the bed she typically shared with Chloe and Illya was Astolfo. Instead of her usual attire, however, she was wearing what could best be described as a reverse bunnysuit, complete with bunny ears and a large, bushy tail...

If it were just Astolfo in the room, Thomas wouldn't have been able to contain his smile. He may have moved on from his days as an Otaku, but he still had a deeply ingrained fondness for cosplay.

What prevented Thomas from immediately pouncing on Astolfo was a perky tanned bottom and wolf-like tail, beneath which was a piece of thin red leather. Thomas's eyes were drawn to the bottom by instinct, but he couldn't help frowning. He was something of a 'connoisseur' when it came to asses and thighs, so while he could appreciate the butt's perkiness, its size left a lot to be desired.

Tearing his eyes away from the perky ass, Thomas locked gazes with the primary source of his befuddlement, a young-looking girl with black hair and golden eyes. She was wearing a purple animal-theme outfit that left very little to the imagination, but Thomas wasn't in the mood to admire it as he asked, "What's going on here...?"

Though she noticed Thomas the moment he entered the room, Astolfo waited until he had spoken to wave her hand, an awkward smile on her face as she replied, "Surprise...?" in an uncertain tone.

Rising to a seated position, allowing Illya a chance to catch her breath, Chloe wiped a bit of drool from her mouth before musing, "You sure took your sweet time. We were starting to think you were a no-show."

Resisting the urge to turn around and leave, Thomas ran his fingers through his hair, a coping mechanism he had developed after having Vivi caress his head on numerous occasions. This outcome wasn't completely outside his expectations, so he took a deep, steadying breath before opening his eyes, meeting Chloe's gaze, and asking, "Care to explain the situation?"

Spreading her fluffy, paw-covered hands, Chloe gave a nonchalant shrug as she replied, "To be honest, I'd rather you just went with the flow and enjoyed the moment. The more questions you ask, the more awkward this becomes for everyone."

Though he furrowed his brows, Thomas didn't immediately retort Chloe's words. Instead, he observed the red markings on her chest and around her navel. He vaguely recalled something similar in one of the doujins he read in his previous world, but the pattern was different, reminiscent of the markings on Caenis's body. More notably, similar markings could be seen on the navel of the girl with glossy black hair, Miyu...

Setting aside his other question, Thomas stared directly into Miyu's eyes as he asked, "Does Shirou know you're here...?"

As she hadn't had time to get accustomed to conversing with Thomas, Miyu promptly averted her eyes from his gaze. She did, however, respond to his question, stating, "Onii-san understands..."

Before Thomas could ask what exactly Shirou understood, Chloe exhaled an exasperated sigh, adopting an accusatory deadpan as she explained, "Unlike the people of this world, our bodies are comprised of Mana. When we're running low, our body's 'instincts' trigger, compelling us to look for a means to replenish it..."

Caressing the thigh of the girl lying next to her, Chloe's expression and tone softened as she added, "Just providing me with enough Mana to live places a tremendous burden on Illya and Miyu. When you appeared a few months back, I thought I had finally found a 'solution' to relieve them of that burden..."

While Chloe and Illya were staring into each others' eyes, Miyu decided to chime in, her expression pouty as she appended, "Illya and I can't stand it when Chloe regards herself as a burden or attempts to sacrifice herself to protect us. So, when you first appeared at Amazon Lily, we decided that if you could be trusted...we would share the burden together..."

Taken aback by Miyu's earnestness, Thomas closed his eyes and exhaled a defeated sigh through his nose. He wasn't particularly enthused by how things had developed, but he had been preparing himself for the past two and a half weeks. He suspected that was the reason they hadn't returned to the ship sooner, but it didn't really matter. Not anymore.

Opening his eyes, Thomas adopted a wry smile as he asked, "So, who's first...?"

Catching Thomas a little off guard, Chloe and Miyu simultaneously replied, "Illya." Then, before he could say anything, Chloe adopted a mischievous grin and asked, "Why do you look so surprised? Illya and I are fundamentally the same person. We have the same wants and needs. I'm just a lot more honest with myself..."

Moving to the side, Chloe revealed Illya lying on her back in an incredibly skimpy cat costume. Her face was completely red, but there was a hungry look in her eyes as she stared back at him through the gaps between her paw-like gloves. More notably, her legs were splayed in a classic M-pose, her otherwise exposed crotch covered by the apparently prehensile tail of her costume...

Taking advantage of Thomas's stupefaction, Chloe licked her lips before musing, "We got bored just waiting around, so we took matters into our own hands. Now, as I'm currently topped off, how about you give Illya a nice steamy load of your Mana~?"

Seemingly spurred by Chloe's words, Illya reached down with one of her gloves hands, spreading herself beneath the covering of her tail as she steamily appended, "Illya wants Master's semen..."

Though several flags were immediately raised in his mind, Thomas set aside his rationality and attempted to strip. Before he could undo the first button, however, Chloe asked, "What are you doing?" before following it up by stating, "Just come over here and lie down. We'll take care of the rest."

Removing his hands from his top button, Thomas made his way over to the bed, getting a much better view of the petite cat girl staring at him like a piece of meat. It was a stark contrast to how Illya usually behaved, at least in front of him, but Thomas ignored his other questions to remark, "I can't exactly lie down if you're in the way..."

"Ah...!"

Realizing she was in the place they had designated for Thomas, Illya ceased trying to entice him and promptly moved out of the way. The outfits that she, Chloe, and Miyu were wearing made them a lot more susceptible to their baser instincts, so she wasn't thinking clearly at the moment. It didn't help that Chloe had spent the past half an hour getting her good and ready for Thomas's arrival...

With Illya moving out of the way, Thomas did his best to get comfortable. He noticed that the spot where Illya had been lying was warm and moist, but he didn't mind. The far more concerning thing was the smell. It wasn't unpleasant, but the subtly sweet yet musky aroma caused him to heat up and feel a little muddleheaded...

While Chloe and Astolfo flanked him, pressing their bodies against him and using their oversized paws to massage Thomas's chest, Illya and Miyu did something he never expected to experience outside the pages of a Doujin. The two lined themselves up as if they were about to perform tribadism, but instead of rubbing against one another, they sandwiched his cock between their hairless pussies and began to grind against him in concert with one another. Miyu still had on her thong-like panties, but the fabric was so thin and biting that it didn't make much difference.

As Thomas burned the sight into his eyes, Chloe whispered something into his ear that caused a shiver to run along his spine, her voice low and reverberating like the purr of a cat as she mused, "I'll be counting on you from here on...Onii-chan..."
