Chapter 51 - I Am Not Scum!

-Tenshu Safe Village, Takumi's House-

"Wh-What do you mean, lay with you?!" Takumi asked, feigning ignorance to the word 'lay' out of shock.

Kirika's already red face became more so as she buried her face between her palms, her muffled screams of embarrassment clearly showing her state of mind.

"I want you to have…se-sex with me!" She shouted as her colour resembled a tomato's, "Miss Meril said it was either this or witness something emotional with my family, and I have no family so… It's just so I can be a better dryad!"

Takumi was dumbstruck, Meril? Isn't she the sweet woman at that funeral earlier? He thought, not wanting to prey on a woman's innocence.

Kirika, however, took his silence for something else.

"You think I'm ugly don't you?" She asked, hanging her head low, "I know you have other women, and they're way prettier than me, and not as fat…"

This way of speaking explained the way she acted when they first met, she wasn't dark and emotionless, rather, she was lonely and insecure; this touched Takumi's soul.

"No no no! You are a very beautiful young woman, and your weight is nothing to be ashamed of, back on my world, you would have had many guys hunting you down over this, I feel honoured that you chose to take part in this act with me; you have great taste." Takumi consoled, using his legendary silver tongue to swoon her.

Seeing as her face couldn't get more red, she puffed up her cheeks as her heart skipped a beat, proving that Takumi's words had indeed gotten through.

"Look," he continued, reaching a compromise, "go back home and think about it, sex is a very big jump in life so if you still want to, come back whenever you want, I'll gladly meet all your needs."

Kirika nodded her head frantically before leaving with a bright smile, the red on her face not showing any signs of disappearing.

"*Sigh~* I need a breather…" sighed Takumi as he watched Kirika's figure disappear.

Walking with sluggish steps towards his bath, he took some time to relax, revisiting the previous conversation.

"Are all the women here sexually deprived? I'm used to being flocked by women wanting me, but something about this world makes all the women seem fairly innocent," He thought to himself as he allowed his body to sway in the water.

Back on Earth, Takumi was approached by droves of women everytime he stepped outside, he was immensely handsome after all, as much as a world-renowned super model, not to mention he was apart of a very wealthy family; but of course, he turned most of them down as he deemed them as 'unworthy'.

"Want some advice?" Mizuko voiced, unable to watch Takumi in this state any longer.

Seeing that he could find no other way to settle his heart, he gladly accepted.

"Sex is a big part of life for all the races here," she began, "for fairies it's so they can procreate, for dryads and nereids it's so they can gain power, for elves it's for the mind blowing pleasure they get from it and for humans, well, it's their way of staying together, even us dragons enjoy the act, especially me

You don't have to feel guilty about having sex with a lot of women, trust me. Even the women have harems themselves, and you're a very handsome young man; if I had a body, I would show you a thing or two… or I could bring you to the Dragon Realm and use our spirits, ufufufu."

For some reason, Takumi's face went slightly red. Knowing that a Dragon Emperor would have sex with him if she had the chance?! Mind blowing! This added even more hot air to his already over-inflated ego.

"Haha…" He laughed nervously, "I will take your advice. Also, I am truly flattered, I'm sure you would be very enjoyable…"

Mizuko giggled once more, "Hmmm, I'll keep that in mind, and from how I've seen you perform with the women you've laid with, I'm sure you would as well."

"…" Takumi couldn't find a single word of response.

"Ufufufu," Mizuko couldn't stop giggling at Takumi's expression of embarrassment, truly a rare sight.

While Takumi was busy dealing with the fact that he just received a courtship offer from a Dragon, Kirika was joyfully prancing home, where she shared a house with Meril.

Her heart hadn't ceased fluttering as she happily replayed those soothing words Takumi laid on her heart over and over again, dryads were an innately emotional race, and such words surely sparked a feeling of romance in her.

"Well?" Meril asked as she heard her door open, "Did he accept?"

Kirika's blushing had significantly subsided during her journey and Meril's question brought it right back.

"Gosh, you need to stop getting embarrassed so much," Meril stated as she got up from around a table where she was manipulating a plant in fun ways.

"He said I should think about it, then meet him after I've made up my mind," Kirika replied as she hid her face from the approaching Meril.

With a bright but smug grin, Meril squeezed Kirika in a tight, motherly hug as she extravagantly congratulated her. Meril had unofficially adopted Kirika as her daughter and she was really happy that she had the chance to pass on some form of teachings to someone, not knowing if she would get the chance to bear children of her own, due to the fact that she hadn't really felt an emotional connection with any man as yet.

"Although he said I should think about it a little," Kirika continued as she enjoyed every minute of the warm embrace, "the way he spoke to me, how he made me feel, I've already made up my mind. I'll visit him tomorrow."

Meril felt genuinely proud and didn't hold back in expressing it, after all, Kirika needed all the love she could get.

In the overthrown Tenshu Castle, underground where the dungeon now crypt was located, a group of demons in charge of turning humans were gathered, discussing a matter that would cause a major setback to Urusla's plan.

"So which of will tell her, huh?" Tai, the advisor asked, his expression laced with pure nervousness.
