I was quietly sitting by the pool reading the Cuencas city newspaper while drinking my coffee without sugar.
“Brother, good morning,” I looked towards the door of the house and saw Trevor’s children arriving with their father. The kids seemed very happy to accompany their father to work…
At this time, Trevor’s physical condition had improved considerably, and as for the two children, they were better nourished, and I believe Kharla used some spell to slightly speed up their metabolism and restore their health.
“Kids, follow me. The other day, I bought you a gift and want to see if the clothes I bought fit you…”

I surprised the children with the clothes I bought for them. For the little boy, whose name is Jackie, I prepared a small adventurer’s outfit with a hood.
For the little girl, whose name is Tomoko, I chose an elegant sorceress outfit with a hat that made her look even more adorable.
“Thank you so much, big brother. We’ve never had such nice clothes before,” said Jackie.
“Seriously, brother. The other sisters have treated us very well since we met them…”
At that moment, Tomoko’s words were interrupted by tears. I suppose living with William for so long affected them quite a bit. They’re not used to being treated so well.
“Really, thank you for taking care of my children, boss. Since I met you and your companions, everything has become easier for my family,” said Trevor.
He looked more relaxed since I helped him with the issue with William; he even seems less old.
“Don’t worry, it’s a way to thank you for your services.”
“Forgive my impertinence, boss, but with the 20 silver coins you pay me every week, it’s more than enough…”
An elf in a swimsuit with a hat hiding her ears and protecting her skin from the sun, accompanied by an albino woman in a swimsuit hidden by a bathrobe, entered the house.
“Well, kids, Aunt Victoria will take you out today so you can show your new clothes to the other children,” announced Raiza.
Raiza and Kharla wanted to explore the tourist side of Cuencas.
I think they’re going to swim at the beach with Trevor’s kids.
On the other hand, I have work to do.
Chizze wanted to stay with me and keep me company while Trevor finishes tidying up the house.
Since there was little work, I told her she could use the pool and do whatever she wanted once I’m done, while my companions take care of the kids, who will be at the beach until tomorrow afternoon.
Everything is going well for everyone.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt such peace.
…
Along with Chizze, I went to the Abrahán Company, as Fernnanda wanted to see my skills in action. Rammus trusts me, but Fernnanda doesn’t know me, and they took me to a room where they had a patient who apparently also suffered from post-traumatic stress.
Fernnanda came up to greet me.
“Hello, Ester. I thought you’d come alone. This girl must be your girlfriend. Nice to meet you, I’m Fernnanda Abrahán.
I called your boyfriend to test if he’s a priest who can cure mental illnesses,” said Fernnanda, looking at the beast woman by my side. Chizze couldn’t say anything; she was too embarrassed to speak.
I don’t mind being mistaken for having a boyfriend, and honestly, I’m too lazy to clear up the misunderstanding.
“Let’s leave social matters for another day. Let me see the patient.” They took me to a room where an older man was lying in bed. Without wasting any time, I placed my hand on his head and cast:
“Spirits of memory, bless me with your presence and grant me the strength to heal broken dreams. Heal the mind.”
…
“Fernnanda, performing this spell is very difficult and carries many risks. Don’t waste my time with an imposter.”
Fernnanda started clapping and said:
“It seems your skills are indeed genuine. I’m sorry for wasting your valuable time. I know I’ll reward you when we’re alone.”
Fernnanda said those words in a very seductive tone, but I could feel Chizze’s murderous intentions on my back.

“Follow me, I’ll take you to the real patient.” We went to another room with another man in bed. Again, I placed my hand on his head and cast…
“Spirits of memory, bless me with your presence and grant me the strength to heal broken dreams. Heal the mind.”
…
This time I could see the man’s childhood… how he grew up to become a police officer in Cuencas… how, during his years of service, he lost colleagues and friends in his fight against drugs and organized crime…
His wife divorced him for not spending enough time with his family, and all he had left was his job, which consumed him until he ended up in that state after a mental breakdown…
Now, magic comes into play to heal the mind.
The goal of this magic is not to erase traumatic memories but to recover his old personality and aptitude before the trauma occurred.
This involves remembering both good and bad moments…
If the treatment works, the patient reaches a state of acceptance, as if they had witnessed a play, because it doesn’t feel like their life.
This helps them accept their past and move forward…
But if the treatment fails, the patient may suffer severe mental illnesses that can also affect the healer who performs the treatment…
…
Once the treatment was completed, I returned to reality. Chizze and Fernnanda were by my side.
“I’ve finished the treatment. He will wake up soon and be more at ease. I recommend that you avoid stressing him, and with some therapy, he’ll be as good as new in a few days.”
Fernnanda asked me, “What did you see?”
“I only saw a man who gave his all to defend the city of Cuencas. He wasn’t a perfect man, but he did the best he could.”
With that said, I proceeded to leave the Abrahán Company. Since it was just Chizze and me, I thought…
“Chizze, would you like to go on a date with me?”
…
We went to a restaurant in the pink district. The last time we were here was for work, and I wanted to experience this place as a tourist…
“I love this beef steak; it’s delicious…”
“Chizze, don’t talk with your mouth full and eat your vegetables; we were charged for them too. I don’t like food to go to waste.”
That night we ate a lot until we were full.
To help digest the meal, I wanted to walk around the pink district to see what the nightlife of the city had to offer.
Aside from the numerous drug dealers, opium peddlers, and prostitutes on the streets, the place was beautiful.
It didn’t have the technology of Zhanty or the elegance of a royal palace, but the people were very kind and helpful, and everywhere I looked, there were people with big smiles…
As we walked down the streets, we passed by a place where a live band was playing.
It was a group of men with guitars, violins, and even a piano, playing a very catchy melody…
I was hesitant to enter the place since it had a sign that said “Minimum consumption 80 copper coins,” and it was clear that they only sold alcohol…
But I saw Chizze swaying her hips to the rhythm of the music…
Without thinking much more, we were inside the venue dancing to the live music. We also had some cocktails from the bar… but I didn’t want to get drunk, as I’m not too fond of alcohol…
…
I admit that I got carried away, and what was supposed to be just a few drinks to meet the minimum consumption for the live music turned into a bill of 15 silver coins…
That night we had a great time.
We got home somewhat tipsy and staggering, and went straight to my room since Chizze is used to sleeping with me.
But that night, for the first time, we did something different.…
…
The next morning, I woke up feeling lighter.
I woke up naked, only covered by the sheet, and beside me was a naked beastwoman…
I remembered everything we did last night.
Honestly, I didn’t plan to sleep with Chizze, but it just happened very naturally.
If I were to ask if I regret what happened yesterday, my answer would be no, but I would like to know Chizze’s opinion.
At the moment, I only wonder if she enjoyed it as well, since the blood on the sheets reveals that it was the first time for both of us, and I don’t know if that was okay for her.
I touched Chizze’s cheeks and gently pinched her to wake her up.
“What’s wrong? It’s you, Master. I want to keep sleeping. Chizze is tired. You didn’t let Chizze sleep almost all night, and now I just want to sleep.”
Chizze had curled up, so I should let her sleep… so I decided to have a small soirée before Raiza and Kharla returned.
I will prepare Chizze’s favorite meat and bought some mead; they say it helps relax women after the wedding night. That’s not the case for Chizze, but I think she might like it in this situation.
…
When I finished shopping, I began cooking some huge steaks that I brought especially for the beastwoman sleeping in my bed.
After a few hours, Chizze woke up from the aroma of the food; I didn’t even have to wake her. “Master, Chizze can eat some meat too.”
“First, wait at the table while I serve you.”
Chizze sat at the table, and I served her a large cut of meat with a glass of mead; I also served myself some, but not much.
Once we finished eating, we had to have a talk.
“Chizze, about what happened last night, I would like to hear your opinion.”
“What does Chizze think? Well, I had a lot of fun, and well, the master had fun too. What’s the problem?”
I sighed and said, “It’s about sex. Among humans, sex is something special you do with someone you love. If I had sex with you, it’s because I love you to some extent, but I want to know what you thought about all this.”
Chizze ate her meat casually, as if we were talking about an unimportant topic.
“So that’s what it’s about. Actually, Chizze wanted to mark her territory. After seeing how Fernnanda behaved, Chizze felt threatened, and when she saw her chance, Chizze devoured the master… at least at first, because later the master devoured Chizze, and that’s why it was hard for me to sleep.”
Wow, sometimes I forget she’s a beastwoman; we see relationships in a very different way. But well, I guess it wasn’t a bad experience for her.
Then Chizze finished her meal and drank all the mead I served her. Without further words, the beastwoman picked me up in her arms and carried me to the bed in a very rough manner, and without letting me speak, she said to me...
“Chizze only lost yesterday because the master caught Chizze off guard. Now Chizze won’t lose.”
That day I discovered that mead has aphrodisiac effects on beastmen… that was a lesson I will never forget.
