"Nyaaaa… Henry!"
Hiroshi turned his head at the familiar voice, and his lips curled into a grin. Oh, here comes the pretty catfolk, he thought, watching Riku bound toward him, his tail swaying and golden eyes sparkling under the sunlight.
"Nya?" Riku tilted his head curiously. "Henry, you going to hunt?"
Hiroshi shrugged. "Hmm? I'm bored. I don't even know where to start hunting around here."
Riku's ears perked up. "Want me to accompany you? I can pick herbs along the way and help you find a forest boar!"
"Oh, that's a good idea. If we catch one, we'll have ourselves a meat feast," Hiroshi said, already picturing the meal.
"Ohhh! Good meat!" Riku's face lit up, his smile so bright it made Hiroshi chuckle.
Riku turned and opened his small satchel, rummaging through it to check his supplies. "Hmm… okay! I've got everything I need. Let's go, Henry!"
"Alright," Hiroshi said, adjusting the sword strapped to his back. As they set off together, Hiroshi glanced down at Riku walking beside him. Man… even hunting feels exciting when he's around.
The two headed toward the edge of the village, ready for their little adventure. Riku's tail swished happily as he hummed, already pointing out herbs and chatting about the best places to find forest boar. Hiroshi followed with a grin, his eyes occasionally lingering on the graceful, energetic catboy by his side.
As they walked through the forest, Riku suddenly stopped in his tracks, his ears twitching and his nose wiggling.
"Oh! Nyaa~" Riku sniffed the air, his tail standing up straight. "There's one over there, Henry! A forest boar!"
Hiroshi's eyes narrowed, his lips curling into a confident grin. "Got it!"
Without hesitation, Hiroshi sprinted toward the direction Riku pointed. The forest boar came into view—a massive creature with tusks that could tear through trees. But Hiroshi wasn't fazed.
With a loud yell, he leaped high into the air, his powerful muscles propelling him up like a rocket.
"HAIYAAAAH!"
In one smooth motion, Hiroshi delivered a crushing downward kick straight to the boar's skull. The force of the impact sent a shockwave through the ground, and the boar collapsed instantly, its body slamming into the earth with a loud THUD.
Riku's jaw dropped as he watched from a safe distance, his tail puffed out in awe. "Nyaaaa! That was amazing, Henry!"
Hiroshi landed gracefully, brushing his hands together. "Heh. Too easy." He turned back to Riku with a smirk. "How's that for hunting, huh?"
Riku ran up to him, his eyes sparkling. "Nyaa~ you're so strong, Henry! That boar didn't even stand a chance!"
"Of course," Hiroshi said, grabbing the boar by its legs and slinging it over his shoulder like it was nothing. "This'll make one hell of a feast. Let's head back."
Riku nodded excitedly, his tail swaying as he walked beside Hiroshi. "Meat feast, nyaaa~!"
As Hiroshi and Riku made their way back to the village, Hiroshi noticed movement from the bushes ahead. His instincts kicked in, and he stopped in his tracks, his eyes narrowing.
"Hmm? What's that?" Hiroshi muttered, shifting the boar on his shoulder as he stepped cautiously toward the bushes.
Suddenly, a figure emerged—a towering being with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a horse. The centaur was wearing a shirt that accentuated her toned upper half and a flowing skirt draped over her equine back. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her sharp yet kind features were striking.
Riku's ears perked up as his tail shot straight with excitement. "Nyaaaa! Nymira!!"
The centaur turned toward them and smiled warmly. "Oh! Isn't that Riku? What are you doing all the way out here, boy?"
Riku trotted over, tail swishing happily. "Ehehehe~ I was accompanying my hyuman friend here for hunting, nyaaa~."
Nymira chuckled, her voice rich and melodic. "Oh, I see. Well, nice to meet you, hyuman."
Hiroshi froze as he looked up at her, his eyes wide. His thoughts immediately betrayed him: She's hot! Like, really hot! Why do centaurs have such good proportions?!
Riku tilted his head, noticing Hiroshi's stunned expression. "Henry! His name is Henry, nyaaaaa~."
"Oh, Henry, is it?" Nymira said with a graceful nod, her long hair swaying. "I'm Nymira. It's rare to see a hyuman around these parts. Thank you for looking after our little Riku."
"Ah, uh, yeah—sure," Hiroshi stammered, his confidence wavering as he tried not to stare too hard at Nymira. "Nice to meet you, Nymira."
Riku looked between the two of them and giggled. "Nyaaaa~ Henry, you're acting weird again~."
Hiroshi couldn't help himself—his curiosity got the better of him. As Nymira stood there, tall and elegant, he started circling around her, taking in her unique form. From her toned human torso to the powerful, muscular horse body below, she was a marvel to behold.
Nymira raised an eyebrow, her tail flicking slightly as she tracked his movements. "Riku boy, is this hyuman… always like this?"
Riku giggled, his ears twitching. "Nyaaa~ That's just how Henry is, nya. He's never seen any other races besides his own before, nyaaa~."
"Ah," Nymira said, her expression softening. "I see… How peculiar."
Hiroshi stepped closer, his hand hesitating for a moment before reaching out to touch her waist—the human part. His fingers grazed her skin lightly, and his gaze was filled with wonder. Slowly, his hand slid down to caress the side of her horse body, running along her smooth, glossy coat.
"This is amazing…" Hiroshi muttered, completely in awe.
Nymira glanced down at him, tilting her head. "You've never seen a centaur before?"
Hiroshi didn't even look up, too absorbed in exploring. "Never. Not in my whole life."
Her tail flicked again, this time brushing lightly against Hiroshi's arm, but she didn't stop him. To her, his actions were strange, but not offensive—just the curiosity of a weird hyuman.
Riku leaned against a nearby tree, laughing softly. "Nyaaa~ Henry's really weird, right? But he means no harm."
"Hm," Nymira hummed thoughtfully, letting Hiroshi's hands continue their gentle exploration. "He is strange, but… I suppose it's fine. Hyumans are curious creatures, after all."
Hiroshi finally looked up at her, his grin broad and unabashed. "You're amazing, Nymira. I've never seen anyone like you."
The centaur's lips curled into a small, amused smile. "Well, thank you, Henry. You're… quite an interesting hyuman yourself."
Hiroshi stepped around Nymira and gestured toward the large skirt-like covering that draped over her horse half. "Hey, uh… can I see the back?"
Nymira blinked, tilting her head in confusion. "My back?"
"Yeah." Without waiting for an answer, Hiroshi reached out and gently flipped the fabric up, revealing the muscular structure of her hindquarters.
Nymira didn't stop him, but her tail swished lightly as she turned her head to watch his curious actions. "You're… very interested in centaur anatomy, aren't you?"
Hiroshi gave a sheepish chuckle, keeping his expression neutral despite his obvious fascination. "I'm just curious, that's all. I've never seen anything like it."
The centaur raised an eyebrow but nodded. "Well, I suppose it's natural for a hyuman to be curious about something unfamiliar. Though, I must admit, most don't show such… thorough interest."
Riku burst into laughter from where he stood, his tail flicking playfully. "Nyaaaa~ Henry, you're so weird! Who else would think to check under a centaur's back cover?!"
Hiroshi rolled his eyes, brushing off the comment as he gently let the fabric fall back into place. "Hey, I just wanted to see what's under there. That's all."
Nymira shook her head with a bemused smile. "You truly are a peculiar hyuman, Henry. But I'll take it as a compliment."
Hiroshi grinned, giving her a playful shrug. "Take it however you want. You're amazing either way."
As Hiroshi circled Nymira again, his gaze focused on her back. His curiosity grew stronger because of her casual indifference to what he was doing.
"Nymira, can you… sit down for a moment?" Hiroshi asked, his voice steady but his intentions clear.
Nymira tilted her head. "Sit down? Why, Henry?"
"Just trust me," he said, motioning to the grass.
Shrugging, Nymira adjusted herself, folding her horse legs underneath her in a relaxed position. "Alright, but you really are peculiar for a hyuman."
Hiroshi stepped closer, his hands reaching for the waistband of his pants. He pulled them down without hesitation, revealing himself.
Nymira blinked, her golden eyes wide as she stared directly at him. "Oh. That's… bigger than most males in my race," she said matter-of-factly. "But… why are you showing it to me?"
"Because I want to try something," Hiroshi said, his voice low.
"Try something?" she repeated, her tail flicking lightly in curiosity. "You're not thinking of mating with me, are you?"
Hiroshi didn't answer; instead, he moved closer, positioning himself behind her. He reached out, guiding his penis toward her pussy.
Nymira's ears flicked back as she glanced over her shoulder at him, her expression calm but confused. "You really are a strange one, Henry. No hyuman has ever taken an interest in another race like this."
Riku, watching from the side, giggled nervously, his tail swaying behind him. "Nyaaa~ Henry's always been weird like that, Nymira."
Hiroshi pressed the tip of penis against her pussy entrance, and for the first time, Nymira flinched slightly.
"Hmm?" she murmured, glancing back again. "Why are you trying to… mate? That's not something I thought a hyuman would do. Or even… could do."
As Hiroshi began to push forward, Nymira's body tensed. She could feel the slow stretch, as her entrance struggled to accommodate him.
"Ah…" Nymira winced slightly, her composure slipping for a moment. "That's… tight. You're… much larger than I expected."
Hiroshi paused, his hands gently gripping her hips. "Are you okay?"
"It's… strange," she admitted, her voice calm but tinged with discomfort. "You're stretching me. It's not painful, just… unusual. Hyumans really are a weird species."
Riku watched nervously, biting his lip as he fidgeted. "Nyaa… Nymira, if it's too much, you can stop him."
Nymira shook her head, her expression softening as she adjusted. "No, it's fine. I'm just… curious now. Let's see how this goes, Henry."
