Episode 12: Apparently breasts are soft
"Well then, should I head out?"
Speaking in a leisurely tone, Uta began his journey to the eastern capital... Alden.
I left the castle gate and trudged along the road that continued east.
According to what I had heard from the general store owner, it would take about a month to walk from the castle town to Alden.
It would be quicker if he rode a horse or a dragon, but Uta has no knowledge of horse riding.
Since animals have always been easily frightened of me, it would be difficult to get there by horse-drawn carriage.
"When you think about it like that... earth is great. If we had that, we could have gone anywhere in the world."
Uta has the ability to teleport, but he can only travel to places he has been before.
However, as long as one can get an idea of the place, one can teleport to a place they have never seen before, so on Earth, where places of Earth exists, one can take day trips to countries all over the world.
It would be possible to just decide the distance and jump roughly, but...it would be troublesome if I ended up in a strange place, so I decided not to do that.
"Now that I think about it... I once teleported into the bathroom. Kazuha was taking a bath and she got really angry."
When he was teleported with the image of a childhood friend in mind, he came across her taking a bath.
I remember being showered with hot water and told, "Uta, you're so naughty!", like in a scene from a popular anime, and then being given a lengthy scolding afterwards.
Since then, I've been avoiding careless teleportation.
Except in emergencies, I had stopped teleporting to my friends without notifying them first.
"Well, never mind. Let's just walk around."
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.
If he was thinking about his friends who would be fighting the Demon King, he'd better hurry.
However, Uta is a naturally laid-back person.
I was impatient, I was in a hurry, and I was hopelessly unsuited to getting things done.
Since he was originally an immortal evil god, his sense of time is different from that of humans.
"yeah?"
As I was walking leisurely down the road... I saw a person leaning against a tree a little way off the road in my direction.
Uta thought that someone was taking a nap, but soon realized that someone was injured and lying on the ground.
A young woman was lying against the tree.
Her slender body was clad in crumbling metal armor, and both her clothes and the armor were stained with blood.
"A corpse?"
"…………inheal……"
"Ah, she's alive."
The woman was quite thin but breathing.
If left alone, she would probably die within five minutes.
"Is this a cut? It's not from an animal or anything."
The injuries sustained by the woman were clearly human-caused and not those caused by a wild animal attack.
I wonder if someone attacked her... but I can't see the assailant.
"Well, never mind. I'll fix it."
I don't know the woman's circumstances, but... I feel bad about leaving an injured woman there.
I was curious as to why this had happened, so I decided to get her treated.
"...Ugh..."
"Yes, yes. Body contact. It's medical treatment, so please forgive me."
Since I was there, I decided to touch the woman's breasts.
There's no particular reason.
When I removed the armor to see the damage, I was intrigued by how large it was.
"Oh, it's soft."
It felt soft and squishy. Touching her breasts made me feel strangely calm, which may be proof that Uta was getting used to being human.
As I enjoy the breasts of a stranger... the scars on her body begin to disappear as if they were regenerating in reverse.
Eventually even the bloodstains disappear, revealing her original jade skin.
"Yes, that's it."
After confirming that the treatment was complete, Uta helped the woman put back the armor he had removed.
Destroying evidence.
This way no one will know that I touched her breasts while she was sleeping.
"It's my first time touching someone other than my mother's breasts, but... it feels pretty good."
Once all this is resolved, maybe I could ask my childhood friends to let me touch them.
They'd either refuse, or hit me, or... they'd just offer me their chest.
I'm looking forward to seeing how Chika, Miko, and Kazuha react.
"This concludes the matter... or so I would like to say, but..."
"Grrrrr..."
"Something's gathered around. Are they wolves?"
Before I knew it, black beasts had gathered around me.
They were probably attracted by the smell of the woman's blood.
The wolves that surrounded Uta and the woman had goat-like horns on their heads, with their sharp tips and exposed fangs shining ominously.
It was a monster called the "Horn Wolf," a troublesome monster that would attack people on the road.
"One, two, three... seven?"
There are seven Horn Wolves.
It displays hostility, murderous intent, and an overflowing appetite.
They fully prepared to attack.
It's only natural, since they're beasts, but... they're not someone that can be resolved through discussion.
"I actually quite like animals, but... well, I guess that can't be helped."
Uta looked troubled and beckoned to Horn Wolf, "Come on over."
"Come on, I'll pet you. But it will cost you your lives."
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!"
An equal exchange of love and death.
Uta jumps at the Horn Wolf, embraces it, gives it plenty of fluff, and then turns it into dust.
The cries of animals echoed along the road for a while, then quickly faded away.
