Warmth. I felt really warm. I was laying on something soft. I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted by a blinding light. I groaned in response.

“Teela?” A familiar voice called out to me. My eyes move to my left and I spotted a familiar Elven woman.

“S-Sarya?” I stammered in disbelief. She was sitting in a chair next to my bed. I tried to recall what happened but came up empty.

“What happened?” I asked. I didn’t even know how I got into the bed.

“Well after we,,, reunited, you collapsed. It seemed it was due to… exhaustion”

Exhaustion? I supposed it made sense. I didn’t eat or sleep much from my trip to the World Tree. I… just didn’t feel the need.

“Where am I?” I asked.

“You’re in my room” She replied. I immediately started looking around and seen that there were some vines growing on the walls, plus there were some flowers growing on the ceiling. Roses, Violets and Tulips were hanging down from their perch.

“Wow…” I whispered in amazement. She really had quite the exotic room. It smelled pretty sweet as well.

A tint of red colored Sarya’s cheeks. “I’m glad you like it” She smiled brightly.

My gaze wandered to Sarya and I could feel a tug of guilt as I recalled my intervention. I told her I needed her, a selfish thing to say. I just couldn’t allow her to die because of me. It was cruel to ask her so much. I still made her a promise, to make it all up to her. I would do my best to keep it.

“Teela?” She looked curiously at me.  “Ah… it’s nothing” I replied. I didn’t want her to worry. She probably did that enough already.

Her gaze fell to the floor “Teela… I’m sorry. I-I was-“I pressed a finger to her lips. “Don’t say it. What matters is that you’re here now” I slid off the bed and rested my head on hers. “I’m just glad you’re here now” I whispered. She sniffed her tears back “Teela…” She whispered. I looked deep into her eyes and met her lips. We were deeply embraced pecking at each other’s lips. I wanted her more. I-

“Well… it seems that you two are closer than I was lead to believe” There was a pause as we slowly turned towards the door to see another woman leaning on the door frame.

We immediately broke away. “I…I-I” I tried to speak but my words fumbled.

Sarya looked at the woman and said “M-mother?” ….Eh? Mother?

…………….

Both Sarya and I were sitting in a living space, our faces red as tomatoes. I felt like a young teenager who’d been caught reading a dirty magazine. It was… embarrassing. Sarya’s mother sat across from us, eyeing us with an arched eyebrow.

“So… I see that you two are well acquainted” Did she really have to put in such a way? It made us sound like a bunch of perverts.

“Well… yes. I helped her from a ruined castle and we have been traveling from some time now to get her back here”

“I see…” She replied in an unconvincing tone. She looked at Sarya “So what were you doing there? When you left here, you wanted to help people. Why stay at a ruined castle?”

Sarya flinched before answering “Well… there was a Dragon so I took it upon myself to ensure it would stay asleep. I used pollen to keep it in a deep slumber. It was terrorizing the local countryside”

Her mother was quiet for a moment before replying with “So how does this woman play into that?” she noted me.

Before I could answer her Sarya did. “She saved me and defeated the Dragon single handily”

“Really?” Her mother replied. She seemed impressed to some degree. She looked at me.

“You realize that that was very rash and foolish. Dragons are not things that are commonly tackled by people unless they have a very good reason and even then it’s something that isn’t taken lightly” She paused before asking me a question I hoped she wouldn’t “So what reason was yours for doing such a deed?”

I paused. I really wished she didn’t ask that. Saying that I did it for money won’t pan well with everyone. Even if I did it to help some slaves. Still… I didn’t want to lie to her so I decided to answer honestly. I told her the whole story, including the bits at the fishing village. After I was finished she was quiet again.

“Hmmm… so…. The slaves, are they happy with your help?” She asked.

That was her question? “Yes… they have everything to start a new life, so I’d imagine they’d be happy”

“Hmmm…I see” She rubbed her chin then stood up and said something that I recall Sarya saying. “Well, sometimes selfish things done for the right reasons can still be a good thing”

I looked up to see her smiling. I wasn’t looking at her before because I was embarrassed and nervous but now? Her face was a mirror imagine of Sarya with longer hair that reached down to her waist and her… um… other proportions weren’t as big as Sarya’s. Her smile however, was as big and bright as Sarya’s.

“Well then” She said. “I am indebted to you for saving my daughter. I know this is late but, I am Gewyr”

I blinked. Her entire attitude was a complete 180 from before. She was smiling and thanking me instead of acting suspicious and now she greeted me with her name. Was it all a test?

“Teela” I answered. “Teela” She parroted. “Well then, thank you again Teela for helping my daughter. I am grateful” 

She sighed. “Well now that I know you better I’d like to welcome you to both our home and the World Tree. I hope you take the time to see the city. We don’t have very many humans here in the World Tree so please, take your time”

I was taken aback by her sudden hospitality and equal thankfulness.

“Thank you. I will.”

She moved towards the door and looked back at Sarya. “I’m glad you decided to stay with us”

Before she closed the door she quickly added. “Oh, and please keep your behavior in moderation”

My face exploded with heat as she closed the door, left me and Sarya alone in her home.

“Your mother is very… interesting” I remarked.

She laughed nervously “Yes… I know”

…………..

It had been one week since we arrived at the World Tree. I had wandered around with Sarya as she showed me everything that there was to see. It was truly remarkable. Back in the original world, I had read many fantasy books that dealt with similar settings, things such as ancient civilizations and bright cities. Now that I was actually living in book, I could fully appreciate the scenery. The population was quite friendly as well, while they were first surprised by a human walking around their city, they eventually warmed up to me and welcomed me with open arms. It was also nice that they stopped looking at me like I was a curiosity.

Their food was quite nice but I never knew that the entire population was vegetarians. They didn’t believe in the slaughter of animals to fill a stomach so I was stuck munching leaves. Well… that wasn’t a hundred percent correct. They had fruits n’ nuts and they were quite creative in their cooking.

I had also spent some time learning magic. Specifically, Manipulation magic. Sarya acted as my tutor teaching me the language to Manipulate elements. The element that I became more accustom to was water. However, the only thing I could do was change the temperature from hot to cold. Not exactly the most awe-inspiring talent but it was a nice start. I guessed I could at least heat water without a source of fire so it was alright.

I had also tried to use a bow but I came across a problem when trying. My breasts were just too large to use them. The string would catch onto my breast so I couldn’t use it. Guess I’ll stick with a crossbow.

I was laying the bed that Gewyr provided. It was next to Sarya’s. She knew we were intimate and decided to allow us to sleep in the same room but not same bed. She handled her daughter’s sexual interests quite well, all things considered.

I breathed deeply and got up. I was fully nude as I moved over to gather some clothes to wear. Gewyr had provided me with some additional clothes to wear since I was staying here. However, she provided me with… skirts. Skirts and blouses. I was thankful but not really fond of them if I was honest.

I gathered my clothes and a towel and move to their bath. It was quite amazing, it was a large bowl suspended from a few vines and had some water pouring down from above. There were some stairs that curled around it to lead to the top. I ascended the stair and found Sarya had already entered. I placed my clothes on a shelf and stepped in.

“Good morning” I greeted her.

She turned and smiled as she seen me. “Good morning Teela.”

I had gotten use to seeing her nude and wasn’t bothered by mine either. I moved closer to her and wrapped my arms around her. I hadn’t had many chances to do this because of all that had happened, the last week was a blur but now I could be with her alone. She sighed as I pressed closer to her.

“Teela… “She moaned as I met lips, her taste was sweet as always. I glided my hands across her smooth back and moved to her neck-

“Well… isn’t this a little early?” A familiar voice called out. We turned to see Gewyr stepping into the bath nude.

“W-well…. We were just…” I stuttered.

She arched her eyebrow and suddenly Sarya stood up.

“I’m… finished.  I’ll be waiting in the… main room” Sarya made her way out of the bath with haste leaving me with her mother. I wanted to leave with her but the way Gewyr was looking me told me she wanted to say something me.

“Well, you’d be correct to assume that I have something to say” Was she an esper!?

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

“I have something’s that I need to confirm with you…” She looked deeply into my eyes; it was enough to make me uneasy.

“Do you love my daughter?” I blinked at the unexpected question. “Yes, I do. I’ve loved her for a while, but only truly understood it when I nearly lost her” I looked at my reflection in the water. Anytime I thought back to that time my heart tugged with pain.

“I see…” she replied slowly and breathed in. Without a word she moved closer to me and raised her hand. She then slowly opened it to show me what was inside it. My lips parted and eyes widen as I looked at what was in her hand. My head snapped up to look at her.

“T-this isn’t…” She nodded. “It is”

I looked at her hand again. “But… me and Sarya are both…”

She shook her head with a smile. “Dear Teela. I haven’t seen my daughter this happy in a long time. Every time I see her, she always has a smile on her face. If you have touched her that deeply then I’m sure you truly are telling me the truth when you say you love her. As for your question, we do not discriminate from such things. Every encounter is a precious thing, so we do not frown on such a thing. So Dear Teela, I give you my blessing. Go to Sarya and ask her. I’m sure you know what she’ll say”

I could feel a tear running down my face, it was more then I could ever hope for. I took the item and was embraced my Gewyr. “Go Dear Teela” She whispered.

I immediately got out of the bath and clothed as quickly as possible. With the item in hand, I moved where Sarya said she’d be. She was sitting on the chair waiting and as she glanced to look at me she blushed slightly but found her voice.

“So, a-are you ready to continue with your training?” She was referring to my Manipulation magic training.  I paused, I wanted to show her and ask the question but I didn’t want it to be too forced. I wanted it to be perfect. “U-uh, yeah. Ok let’s go”

She frowned. “Do you perhaps not want to?” I shook my head. “No, I do”

With that, she lead me to the training ground to train some more.

…………….

I had finished my daily training and now was walking with Sarya in the streets. We were simply wandering but I was wondering how to ask her the big question. I then spotted a restaurant. I still had my huge sum of gold from buying the slave’s property.

“Hey, Sarya. Let’s go eat there” I pointed to the restaurant. She smiled and agreed to it. I had asked the waiter if I could get a seat on the second-floor balcony. We were sitting, eating our food. I had never felt so nervous before. I tried to eat my meal but I kept thinking of when the best chance was to ask her.

I couldn’t let the chance past up so I started.

“It’s been quite a journey hasn’t it” I brought up. “We’ve had our highs and lows, we have some cherishable memories. I’ve valued them all. I wish to keep making more memories with you so I want to do that in the most memorable way possible.” Her eyes widen as I left the seat and knead before her. I opened my hand to show her the ring that Gewyr gave me in the bath.

“Sarya… will you Marry Me?” Tears streamed down her face as she covered her mouth with her hands.

“Teela… I” She jumped off the chair and embraced me tightly “YES!”

…………….

I had fussed with my chest plate constantly, as I tried to breathe deeply. Both my nervousness and lack of experience were showing.

“Here, let me help you with that” I turned to see Gewyr in the doorway. She moved to my back and started working on the straps.

“It’s quite lively out there so be ready” She cooed. She wasn’t doing a good job of making me feel better. Indeed, it seemed like many people had become interested in our wedding. Perhaps most amusing of all were men who had, in the past, asked for Sarya’s hand in marriage but to no avail. Now they were surprised to learn not only a human had won Sarya’s heart but another woman as well. Their shock was priceless to some degree. I had also found out how they handled their marriages. The person who asks is the immediate Groom, regardless of gender. The Groom must also wear an armor set to symbolize this. The person who was asked is the Holder. It basically referred to the person who held the Groom's heart. 

Gewyr, who was my soon-to-be future mother-in-law, finished and said “Done”

I had made my way to the altar and waited. Then the door opened and my breath was stolen. Sarya came down the aisle wear a long white dress with flowers circling around the skirt of it. She also wore a flower crown. She step up to the altar and looked at me.

“Wow… you look gorgeous” I whispered. She blushed and stated her thanks. The man who stood with us started his words and we had said our vows. There was also another thing that they did differently than others. When we put the rings on each other’s fingers we had to hold our hand together, when we did our hand glowed and I could feel something tickling the palm of my hand. When the glowing stopped I looked at my hand and was surprised to see some kind of tattoo of the palm of it. The design was etched into my hand and it looked like a tree of some sort. I looked up to her and kissed her deeply, picking her up, making our way to the carriage. We rode our way to Sarya’s home in deep embrace.

……………..

It had been three days since our marriage. We had been staying at Sarya’s place for a little more. We were bombard by many gifts from the locals and many had congratulated us. We received things from books to fruits. We even received a sword and staff as well as a plate of armor for me. I had taken the sword and Sarya took the staff. I had also taken the armor. It surprisingly fit, my breast size all considered.

Me and Sarya had left the World Tree because she still wanted to help more people. She was still insisting on helping more people because it was her original intent. I was against it because we had just married and the last thing I wanted to do was see her in danger. But she emphasized that because I was here with her, she could do more good.

I knew that she was a free spirit. Her mother had told me she was always like this. She had always had dreams of assisting people since a young age. In the end, I agreed but I wanted use to have a few things before we left so I went out and bought supplies and some weapons. I bought a crossbow, because I couldn’t use a bow and some other things that would hopefully make our journey easier.

Now we were here on the road again, three days from our marriage and first day on the road. I still had the wagon from the fishing village. I looked at my hand and smiled at the design. I could feel warmth spread through me.

We had made our way down a road before I could see some steam rising from the tree top. A hot spring?

“Hey Sarya. I think I see a hot spring. Would you… care to join me?” She looked at me lovingly and nodded. 

We had disembarked the wagon and made our way to it. I could hear some splashing from the spring and some… voices? I had my hand on my sword as I slowly moved the bush that blocked my view. When the steam cleared enough for me to see, my jaw slacked. There were woman in the hot spring but more shockingly of all was that they were showing ‘over affection’ to each other. ‘W-what the hell is this!? A lesbian fest?’  

One of the women spotted us and said ‘Ah! Look! We have some curious guests.”

All the women looked in our direction and cooed as they seen us. I swallowed a lump in my throat.

“Uh… sorry for intruding…” I turned to leave but one of the women wrapped her arms around my waist and said “Please wait. We’d like it if you joined us. It’s why you’re here is it not? To enjoy the hot springs?” Well yeah, but I didn’t expect it to be occupied.

Before I could speak some more women joined and surrounded me. I could feel a hand on my breast. I felt chills shoot up my spine as they groped it. I hadn’t made love to Sarya in a long time so my body was extra sensitive.

“Ah… n-no…stop. You shouldn’t…” My body felt hot, I looked over to Sarya and she was in the same situation. Her face was a mask of arousal as they continued to fondle her absurdly large breasts.  There were at least five women around me, feeling every inch of my body. They were at my breasts, arms, neck, butt and between my legs. I couldn’t hold out much longer. I-

“What is going on here!?” A sudden voice rang out. I looked past the women to see another woman wearing some kind of helmet made of… bones? She also had some spear in her hand. She looked at me and said “Who are you?” That was her question? After seeing this?

I tried to catch my breath and croaked out “Teela”

She relaxed a little and said “Well then ‘Teela’ I assumed you wanted to use this spring but it is ours. You have trespassed on our sacred grounds so you and the elf need to come with us” Sacred grounds? Sacred grounds my ass. It’s just a place for them to get ‘close’

We were lead by the woman with the spear and lead into a camp.

Sarya? Are you ok?” I whispered. She nodded. “Yes, that was… quite sudden” Her face was still red. We eventual came upon a woman sitting on a throne. A throne made out of bones from so many different species of animals I couldn’t even being to name them all.

The woman looked at us with a deep interest. “My my. What have we here?” She cooed.

I swallowed a lump in my throat; I couldn’t help but notice that she was looking at me with a… lustful sense?
