Let’s Cook for Them!

When I woke up, my whole body felt sore. The sword wound was gone for good, I didn't even feel it anymore, but sleeping on the hard, cold rock had taken quite a toll on my body.

 

"Owie~"

「That's what you get for sleeping on the ground with giant, warm and furry pillows just waiting for you to use them!」

"I won't use them!" I protested, still half asleep. "I will only lose my control again!"

「You won't.」

"I won't?"

「After playing with those girls, you should have more than enough life force to be safe.」

"Playing with those girls..."

「You were great, Flatty! The best!」

"Great..."

 

A series of vivid images appeared before my inner eye. They showed me kissing a blonde girl, undressing her and touching her basically everywhere, while she answered each of my attacks with moans and even more moans.

The black-haired woman wasn't better off, either. She struggled at first, even more so than the blonde, but I just subjugated her with surprise, a strong grip and passionate kisses. The fight didn't even last a minute and I once again saw us entwined and breathlessly searching for each other's most sensitive spots.

 

「Shouldn't you wake up now? They are probably anxious for round two!」

 

It didn't take half a second for me to become wide awake as if Meja had decided to suddenly toss me into an ice-cold river. I opened my eyes wide, only to become petrified immediately. A blade was stuck in a crack only half an arm's length in front of me. It wasn't a sword, but a rather small dagger, a weapon you would only use when driven into a corner, but its message was clear.

 

«They could have killed me! They could easily have killed me!»

 

「But they didn't!」 Meja replied, trying to hold back her laughter.「That means they liked it, too!」

"They just pitied me! They thought I was harmless!"

「So what?! You are fine!」

"I'm not!"

「You are! You are uninjured, you slept and you had plenty of food!」

"Don't call it food!"

「Playthings?」

"Friends!"

 

A bright laughter echoed through my mind. At first, Meja laughed about me and my weird idea of befriending the girls, then regret and despair slowly stole their way into her voice. It became weaker and weaker as if she slowly lost all hope.

 

"I- I'm sorry!"

「Why did you steal my body?! Why you of all those who could have gotten lost in this hellhole?」

"I didn't want to steal your body!"

「But you did! And now you are killing me! You are slowly killing me!」

"I'm not!"

「You let my body starve! You nearly got killed by that human, too! You would be dead if it wasn't for that bull!」

"I never wished for that to happen ..."

「At least thank him for saving you!」

"I will!"

「Not with a hug!」

"I will not sleep with him!"

「Just do it while he is sleeping! Invade his dreams!」

"I- I can't!"

「Do you really feel sorry?!」

"I do ..."

 

Meja didn't find the motivation to continue talking to me. She fell silent, for many minutes. When she still had not said anything after what had felt like half an eternity, I slowly raised up and began searching for the bull demons.

 

«Where are they?»

 

Out of the dozens of demons, I only found three, who likely had spent hours if not the whole night standing next to the entrance of the cavern, protecting my sleep from afar. They now were staring at me, their weapons in their hands and ready to receive my orders. Sadly enough, the young bull wasn't among them.

 

"Where are the others?" I heard myself ask.

 

Their answers came immediately, in the form of half a dozen moos which could mean both anything and nothing at all. It was only when one of them pointed to the entrance of the cavern that I got a rough idea on what they were up to.

 

"They are searching for food?"

 

The demon answered with a low growl and, when he realized I couldn't understand him, with an additional nod of his bull-like head. His comrades really were scavenging the forest for food.

 

"I will help them!" I immediately decided.

 

I heard a loud sigh somewhere in my mind, but I decided to not give it as much as a single thought. Cooking them a hearty meal wasn't much compared to a life being saved, but I couldn't think of anything better. Meja's idea naturally wasn't even worth thinking about.

 

«I will somehow make up for it ...»
