Chapter 53: The small but strong man (02)
To put it simply, the beastmen usually stayed calm until their mating season approached.
In fact, the military dog units did not provoke the concerns they had anticipated and proved their usefulness in reconnaissance and tracking missions, becoming regular comrades.
However, this was the case with the male beastmen.
For female beastmen, especially those with animal instincts stimulated by males in heat, being in the military meant dealing with males in heat everywhere, increasingly stimulating them into heat. Because of this, it was suggested that only male beastmen be enlisted and female beastmen be discharged back to their hometowns...
Naturally, those who had partnered with the military dogs fiercely objected... rather, they vigorously protested, declaring they would take responsibility for the mating seasons themselves, which resulted in about six married men.
Indeed. The typical solution to the mating season for beastmen is for a human to thoroughly mate with them.
Up to this point, it was fine as they could just get married and have sex if they liked each other, but... Shuru was the problem.
"Meow..."
Every morning, Shuru would compete with Mollang to pull down my underwear and lick my glans; initially, it wasn't so, but gradually she became more blatant about targeting my genitals, and soon she was in heat, seducing me in a provocative pose.
Her voice was so sultry that the men in the same barracks would get aroused by Shuru's moaning at night, forcing me to hold Shuru and Mollang close every night to prevent the others from targeting them.
Well, why not just satisfy Shuru once and be done with it...
'If only it were that simple'
To describe Shuru's size, she's about 80cm tall.
From head to tail, that's the length, so if you were to measure it like a human's height, it would be about 65cm.
This size is a bit larger than the average cat, not comparable to a human.
Considering Shuru's body proportions at this size, there's a significant size difference...
"Stay still."
"Nyaa..."
When I take off the underwear made specially for Shuru, her changed appearance during heat is noticeable.
'It's really small, after all.'
Even though she's swollen from being in heat, it's still too small for even a finger to fit.
'If I do it here, it'll kill us both...'
It would kill both Shuru and me.
So I thought about satisfying her with my fingers or other tools, but whenever I tried, Shuru would bite and scratch in a frenzy, obsessively clinging to my groin, driving me mad.
There were hardly any methods left to calm her down a bit.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang."
"Meow..."
Lifting her tail and patting her ass.
'I should get her a similar Munchkin cat beastman male...'
She's been in heat for over a month, so I felt sorry for her and asked around about other Munchkin cat beastmen, but while there are plenty of cat beastmen, Munchkins are extremely rare, so I couldn't find any news.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
In fact, there were more guys lusting after Shuru.
Just let go of a little greed and bear it with something else...
Now, Mollang has stepped aside, and Shuru is holding my penis in her hands, licking it with her tongue raised, although it's more subdued than before; initially, the rough licking during her heat scratched the skin off my glans to the point of bleeding.
Fortunately, after Mollang saw this and delivered a knockout blow with her Mollang Punch, teaching her a lesson, Shuru's licks became less sharp, but the excitement of her heat kept increasing, sharpening her tongue until it was grinding my skin mercilessly.
'I need to satisfy her quickly'
As I lift her skirt and pat her swollen ass, my palm feels wet to the touch, such is the extent of her heat, yet there's no one to match her, and I'm moved to tears.
If only Shuru's body were a bit larger, I might be able to satisfy her, but she's too small for even an attempt...
Of course, Shuru would try even if it killed her, but I couldn't allow that.
'I need to find a way...'
Patting her ass does calm her down a bit, but in the process, her buttocks become incredibly swollen, and although I managed to endure about a week initially, lately, if I don't pat her every day, she goes into heat again, a vicious cycle repeating itself.
'Cats go into heat from male stimulation...'
In other words, as long as male stimulation continues, there's no end to the heat.
Lately, I've been hesitant to even dress her properly because her lower half is so wet, and with guys from my unit always lurking around, I've had to rush out from training to pat her ass and return.
It's come to the point where I've contacted Frederica again, asking if, no matter the cost, it's possible to inject a pet consciousness into Shuru with a Homunculus...
But I received a reply from the third party that they've been shut down due to illegal trading and are currently under trial.
'They did trade in human-like bodies, after all...'
Though soulless, they indeed traded bodies, so I had no words.
Thanks to this, Shuru is left clinging to me all day, dripping with erotic fluids while seducing me.
"Good girl, good girl..."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Still, patting her ass seems to stabilize Shuru a bit, but it's just like peeing on frozen ground, fundamentally unsolvable.
After wiping Shuru's lower half with a handkerchief from my pocket and redressing her skirt, Shuru seemed a bit more stable, licking my cheek with her tongue and acting coy, but who knows when she'll go into heat again.
I need to find a way.
I heard that the rest of the week we're off due to mana circuit depletion caused by exoskeleton usage.
Normally, you'd wear it for a day and rest the next, but my foolish peers all endured it, causing this mess, so Dr Pandel angrily ordered us to stop training and rest for four days, giving us unexpected free time.
If Shuru can't grow larger, maybe I should shrink instead...
"Hmm?"
"Meow?"
"Now that I think about it, why have I only been thinking about growing Shuru?"
Considering efficiency, wouldn't it be more efficient for me to shrink instead of trying to grow small Shuru?
Not that my 'thing' can grow or shrink at will, but isn't it entirely possible to use a shrinking spell to reduce my body size?
Is changing one's perspective really such a difficult task that it prevents one from realizing such a simple answer?
Once I shifted my perspective, things progressed rapidly, and I immediately contacted the outside about the shrinking procedure, and it turns out there was a shrinking potion available from the Frederic Alchemist Association.
The original purpose of the potion is to rescue people stuck in tight spots or for jobs requiring passage through narrow pathways, but the price wasn't too expensive either.
If it reduces the body to about one-third, maybe around 300 gold?
"Still more expensive than a Homunculus..."
The effect is said to last about 12 hours for a single dose, which should be enough to last through the heat period, right?
I ordered from the alchemy workshop along with other roommates' requests, and it arrived the next morning, placed on my bed.
"Ho... this must be it."
A palm-sized vial containing a fluorescent potion.
Special potions like this are deliberately colored brightly and unappetizingly to prevent them from being confused with other drinks and accidentally consumed, but this one was emitting a gentle blue light.
"Gurgle, gurgle."
"Chpluk. Chpluk."
Luckily, Shuru was not in heat at the moment and was kneading against Mollang, and I was about to test the potion's efficacy right away.
Ah, come to think of it, if the roommate guys come in now...
And even if it's not the 2nd dormitory roommates, if Shuru's cat moans spread, they'll all come looking to see what's up, so I had to head to a secluded spot to carry out the act.
"Come on, Shuru... let's go."
"Nyaa?"
When I lifted her by wedging my arm under her armpit, Mollang, caught by Shuru's nails, came along too.
Initially, I tried to separate them, but seeing Mollang cling tightly to Shuruand follow along, it seemed she thought something interesting was going to happen... or perhaps she was anticipating her next meal.
"Sharp prediction, but..."
If the shrinking potion works, Shuru would be the primary target, with Mollang as a secondary concern.
Mollang could be fed at her current size, but Shuru needed more extreme measures in her current state, so this time, the focus would be on Shuru.
"It's fine if you come along, but Shuru comes first this time."
Knowing that this wouldn't calm Shuru under the current circumstances, Mollang displayed a mocking face, evidently planning to follow regardless.
The last time I tried something similar, Shuru almost burst and I thought my glans would explode, and in the end, Mollang ended up taking everything. It seems this time would be no different.
Choosing the bathroom was risky as I could fall into the toilet if I shrunk, and Shuru's voice was so loud that excluding the barracks and finding a place far away and less frequented by people was necessary.
"So here we are."
A secluded spot facing the wall of the training center.
It was the most secluded part of the Knight Mage training center, and since there weren't many knight mages around, and they rarely came this far, a bit of noise wouldn’t cause any trouble.
"Stay still for a bit."
Holding the potion in one hand, Shuru tried to snatch it away, curious about the bottle, so I grabbed her by the scruff with one hand and opened the lid with the other.
"Cough!"
As soon as I opened the bottle cap, a stench like three-day-old unwashed socks hit me, almost making me vomit on the spot.
"Is this expired, or is it supposed to smell like this?"
The smell alone was nauseating enough to make me want to vomit, but I forced the bottle to my lips, and the taste was even worse.
It was like drinking a beverage laced with crushed glass, with a burning sensation and excruciating pain in my throat...
"Bluurgh...!"
I couldn't help but retch, but considering the potion cost a whopping 300 gold, I couldn't afford to vomit, so I clenched my mouth shut.
"Ugh... wait, suddenly I'm dizzy... Ugh..."
Continuing to retch and staggering, I felt something grabbing my ankles, and I barely managed to keep myself from collapsing by leaning against the wall.
"It felt like falling from the sky..."
"Ugh!"
Eventually, I couldn't hold back any longer and started vomiting, but it felt like my throat was completely blocked, the pain returning to my stomach.
"Isn't this poison? Mollang, antidote..."
I reached out to Mollang asking for an antidote, or rather, to perform bloodletting, but then I felt something large grabbing my hand.
What? Why is it so big?
Suppressing the urge to vomit, I turned around, and there was Mollang, as big as a person, looking bewildered with her paws on my chest.
"Why have you gotten so big..."
Looking at the height of the wall reflected in Mollang's head, the pants hanging on me, and my shirt draping over my shoulders like a long cape, I finally realized it wasn’t Mollang who had grown, but that I had shrunk.
