Labels and lust

After a few days, the terrain starts to get more forested, and you pass through fewer settlements. This is fine for you, since you’ve been recognized almost immediately when you arrive at any town. The fact that people are starting to call you titles like Liberator and Protector is a little unsettling. The girls love it, however.

Lynn and Kali in particular adore calling you Liberator, and you’ve even heard little Yura call you Protector when she thought you couldn’t hear. Meanwhile Uzume is amused by all of this, and along with Maya teases you mercilessly.

And then there’s Sadie. “The great Protector Joshie! Savior of the old world! Hero of prophecy! Lover of the ages!”

You sigh as the girls giggle. “Sometimes I wonder why I put up with you girls.”

Anna giggles again. “I think it’s because of all the amazing sex, master!”

You chuckle, and give her a kiss. “That must be it. Couldn’t possibly be anything like love, I’m too busy being a hero!”

Maya grins. “Well, big hero, we should reach my home village tomorrow. I’m sure my dad will be just as happy to see you as anyone else, since I’m still safe.”

You nod. “It’ll be good to see Daigo again. Maybe you’ll behave around your dad.”

Uzume speaks up. “Maya’s dad? Daigo is your dad, Maya?”

Maya nods, and Uzume smiles. “I know him by reputation. Dragon who lives as a human, generally regarded as a tale of success of monster/human relationships. He sounds cool! Think he’ll arm wrestle me?”

Maya giggles. “Probably! I doubt you’ll beat him though, he’s still a dragon!”

Uzume grins. “That’s why I gotta try! I’d challenge him to wrestle, but that turns into fucking pretty quick. I’m holding out for some of that Liberator dick!”

You chuckle. “You know we can, right? I don’t think any of the girls would mind, and some of them would want to join in.”

Sadie and Kali nod, enthusiastically. Uzume laughs. “Oh, I’m aware. But I’ve talked with most of ‘em now, and we all agree that I should wait and see if I develop feelings first. Apparently it’s better that way.”

“That sounds like Kali talking.”

Kali blushes. “Well, I’m not wrong, am I? It’s better when there’s love.”

Emphatic nods all around. You smile. “I don’t disagree. Just don’t let yourself get too pent up, Uzume.”

The huge Oni grins. “Don’t worry, I’ve been told I can watch! Just ignore any noises you hear in the background when you’re banging one of these sexy girls.”

You groan. “I’ll do my best. All of you are such perverts.”

Maya giggles and sticks her tongue out.
