Chapter 43

Edina was drunk? These juices were alcoholic?

Kanae watched in astonishment as Edina knelt down, cupped a handful of the nectar and drank deeply as if it were spring water. She let out a blissful sigh and swayed her squirrely tail that had been soaked in the alcoholic juices.

When the madwoman went in for seconds, Kanae pulled her away by her tiny waist from behind.

"You're going to give yourself alcohol poisoning!" Kanae lifted the squirreling up, but not without her flailing around like a feral cat.

The vapors were beginning to tickle his nose. His mind grew foggier with each breath. Every second spent in here, the greater the hangover was going to be.

The last time Kanae had too much alcohol to drink, he almost went and fucked the entire adventurer's hall in Orturic. Hell, it might have actually happened and everyone was too drunk to remember. If they didn't find a way out, then this gargantuan flower would make a meal out of them sooner or later from the acidity of its nectar.

"Edina, we shouldn't keep this to ourselves, right? Let's break out of here and share some with Arenade and Thedia!" Kanae suggested to his sloshed party member.

"Aree… Aree— ehehe… hic! You know… I still can't thank you enough… ever since we got outta… that cave… hic! If it wasn't for you… I'd still be a level 1 pack mule… instead of the great necromancer I am now… So… If you ever wanna fuck… I'm here, buddy…" Edina promptly passed out.

"Oh, boy." He rolled his eyes, now carrying an unconscious squirreling.

It was said that alcohol reduced inhibitions and brought out people's true nature. Edina never really hid the fact that she was open to it even though he was a succubus. However, it was clear to Kanae that it was the alcohol talking. Recent events had left Edina wracked by guilt for dragging her shady past into their party. When the day came that they finally shared a more intimate relationship, he wanted her to go in without any regrets. After all, she was the one who had risked her life to save him. He wanted more from just her body.

Until then…

Kanae's lower body was aching for sexual relief. Like morning dew on grass, his patch was quickly getting wet as the alcohol wore down his inhibitions. Just shuffling around caused the fabric to rub up against his crotch and stir a very succubus hunger. If they didn't escape soon, he might end up prematurely making a meal out of Edina.

He almost didn't want to let the squirreling down, but for the sake of their lives and future, set her down against the flower petal walls. The smooth, curtain-like cellulose was amber in color and tougher than dire beast hide. When Kanae snapped his whip again, it succeeded in doing little other than to tarnish the drapes.

There had to be another way. Aside from a central stem that was as thick as a tree trunk too slippery to wrap his arms around, there was no other way of escaping. Actually… much of the liquid was secreting from the stalk and seemed to pulse with life.

"It couldn't be a monster… could it?" Kanae wondered aloud, but curiosity got the better of him and he casted his signature spell at nowhere in particular. "Turn Horny!"

"Aahh!"

A sweet voice from above sent shivers down Kanae's spine, but the feeling wasn't one of fear, it was of pleasure.

The entire flower shuddered. Whatever had happened, the stem was secreting more nectar. Droplets were forming along the length and sliding down when they became heavy enough for gravity to take over.

"Kanae! That you in there?" Two figures pressed themselves against the petal. Kanae recognized their silhouettes as Arenade and Thedia.

Thank god, he thought. Those two actually followed after them.

"I'm in here with Edina! We're stuck!" Kanae slammed his fists against the walls to get their attention.

"By the Supreme One's hairy ass! It's an alraune!" Arenade could be heard shouting in panic.

A shift in movement caused the entire bulb to lurch and nectar splashing everywhere. Kanae nearly lost his footing, but he thought quickly and wrapped the whip around the central stem to anchor himself, all the while carrying Edina on his back.

Arenade just called this thing an alraune. Was that a monster? If so, then maybe a little more coaxing should get it to open up.

Kanae stripped himself naked to activate Exhibitionist Spellcasting and casted, "Turn Horny!"

The same sensual voice from before shrieked, followed by a moan that was rather like music to his ears. Nectar shook loose from the stem as it began to retract into the bulb. Above, the petals unfurled just a bit for a beautiful woman, whose legs were joined at the knees to form the stem, to slither in like a lamia. But she wasn't a lamia. She was an alraune, skin pristine like an emerald, long hair as wild and green as the forest with flowers interwoven in the curly locks, and just as bare naked as he was being an entity that lived in nature and had no need for clothing.

Gazing up, Kanae was captivated by her beauty such that he had completely forgotten about his predicament or that she could be a dangerous monster. However, seeing the alraune reach down triggered the fight of his fight or flight response. He drew the whip only to have it snatched out of his hand and flung across the bulb.

The alraune flashed a bemused smile and asked, "Are you the one stimulating me? Oh, how naughty. It takes two to play, you know?"

"How about we play outside and talk this out?" Kanae gulped, sweating under the shadow casted over him by her while she was suspended from a height.

"Why would I release you?" she asked and lowered herself to the ground, where her legs separated from the stem, each step in her proud approach leaving ripples in the nectar at her feet. "A venus fly trap does not release a caught prey, especially not one so… delectable."

Kanae gasped when the alraune's cool hands cupped the bottom of his breasts first, then expertly kneaded them while rubbing her thumbs against the pointed nipples. Pleasure clouded his sense of self-preservation in favor of desiring the alraune instead.

"Mm… Y-You're not a venus fly trap, are you?" He sighed in ecstasy as she drew a nectar-soaked tongue up his neck.

"I am not, but you may call me Tearal," she whispered seductively into his ears, making him wonder just who the succubus was here.

Before Kanae could get another word in, he was thrown breasts first into the stalk and got a full frontal coating of the juices being secreted from it. The alraune, Tearal, sandwiched him from behind, the weight of her own breasts on his back weakening his resolve to resist. What little wriggle room was afforded to him, he bumped his plump butt against her to further entice her.

"Are humans normally as daring as you? Or perhaps you are not human at all? Curious…" As if careful not to break a new toy, Tearal wrapped ten delicate fingers around Kanae's waist and humped back, but another feeling rubbed the space between their legs.

Kanae glanced down to see the same vines that had dragged them here, like living snakes, exploring every nook and crevice of his body. It's always tentacles, he thought.

"What if I told you I'm a succubus? Do you think this would still turn out well for you?" Kanae asked, testing the waters not by calling a bluff, but only to see how she would react.

The teasing vines grew tense. Several opened their tips to reveal three-pronged mouths, dripping with a stickier substance than that at their feet. They hissed at him like the many serpents of Medusa's hair. Kanae's words had been taken as a threat, and Tearal responded by quietly laughing through her nose, the puffs of air laden with fumes of nectar fumes caressed the back of his neck with every breath.

"Well, it's too bad you aren't," Tearal cooed, licking the back of his neck. "Allow me to provide you with a lesson about flowers. They contain the reproductive organs of both female and male."

The second the word 'male' left Tearal's lips, a vine had found headway into Kanae's soaking entrance. It plunged into him like a real cock, slickened by his juices.

"Oh— ahh!" Kanae shivered from the impact, letting his face plant on the central stem which was oozing more and more nectar to reflect the alraune's growing desire. He was already so wet that the vine went all the way in with ease. Almost immediately and to her surprise, she trembled from the incredible pleasure of being inside him, and the nails of those ten fingers now bit into his ass.

Out of succubus instinct and urge to breed, Kanae sought his own pleasure, slamming his hips against her more intensely and reaching behind to grab Tearal by the waist to pump harder. Each time their hips collided nectar was sent splashing over them, gushing even, from her own pussy.

"Ahh… What is… this? I've had women before… but never this good…" Cracks formed on Tearal's dominant display, worn down by the ecstasy she was facing.

They pounded into each other ferociously. The stem, which Kanae was pressed to, drenched him in nectar.

"Fill me up!" Kanae begged deliriously. "Shoot that cum inside me like you want to pollinate my womb!"

Tearal wasn't listening anymore. Arms wrapped around his waist, she moved by rhythm only, having lost herself to the pleasure and continued in an effort to please him. Their climax reached an explosive pitch when the throbbing tentacle-cock gushes loads of liquid pollen into Kanae, dialing his own orgasm up by ten folds from being filled to the brim.

They fell backwards, Kanae on top of Tearal, both breathing heavily and dizzy. The tentacle that was inside slipped out of him and retracted into her body, and having been uncorked, the pollen that had inseminated him began to leak out like an open faucet.

Kanae rolled off the alraune just as the entire bulb opened up and the petals unfurled. He and Edina spilled out of the flower on a tsunami of nectar, sliding into the feet of Arenade and Thedia, who were both staring down at him in disbelief.

"H-Hey, guys…" Kanae calmly greeted.

"Don't 'hey' us! Mind explaining what you were doing inside that alraune?" Arenade asked, pointing to the creature behind them.

The alraune was completely incapacitated, drawing shallow and rthymic breaths, and bright red tongue rolled out of her mouth; she was soundly defeated.

"We, uh… got caught," Kanae shamefully confessed.

"My, my," Thedia giggled, her glinting two-toned eyes fixed on his naked body. "You had said you were going on ahead, not finding time to fornicate."

"I-It's not what you think! Being naked… erm… empowers my spells… and the alraune… s-seduced me." He dressed quickly before embarrassing himself further in front of the hot cat girl maid.

Arenade used her newly gained Lesser Detox skill on them to remove the alcohol from their systems. Kanae felt a cold sensation run through his body and sobered up in an instant. The other, however, snapped awake with a start.

"What the fuck happened?!" Edina snapped awake and chose violence, summoning a horde of skeletons to do battle.

"You blacked out from alcoholic nectar," Kanae informed the drunkard.

They walked over to the alraune, whose only sign of life was the ebb and flow of her chest filling with air as she panted. Her cheeks were flushed red from the intense pleasure Kanae had dealt.

"What do you want to do with it? Kill it for experience?" Arenade asked.

"No, I'd feel bad! She looks so defenseless right now, too!" Kanae threw his arms out to keep them from trying anything.

"In case you forgot, that thing tried to kill us! I don't even know what this stuff on me is, but…" Edina sniffed and licked her own arm. "Oh, it tastes kinda—"

Arenade slapped Edina's arm away from her adventurous tongue. "If you get sloshed again, I'm not saving you from a hangover."

"Okay, wait. You have me beat. I didn't expect you to truly be a succubus. Perhaps we can work out a deal?" Tearsal had recovered from her sexual daze and was already on her feet.

Startled by it coming to consciousness, the four of them leapt back and struck a defensive pose. Kanae and Edina, having already been trapped once, were extra careful.

"That's rich coming from the one that attacked us first!" Edina ordered her skeletal army to draw their weapons at her.

"Neither I nor my nectar would have killed you. I only wanted to drain your magic a little and would have let you out by tomorrow. It's just that goblins normally come by to exchange their magic for my nectar. They haven't lately, so I've been oh so starved…" she explained.

"Eugh… Goblins," Arenade remarked with apparent revulsion.

"What's wrong with goblins?" Kanae chimed in. "You're fine around Takumi."

"All I'm trying to say is those mangy green midgets deserve not an ounce of respect or sympathy from me," she said, then looked to the others to back her up. "Come on, you guys think so, too, right?"

"Your friend's alright. He only hits on you, Kanae. As long as I'm not in his sights, we're cooler than frost wisp." Edina nodded.

Kanae's impression of goblins were skewed by Takumi to begin with. He actually had no idea what kind of creatures they were in this world beyond what he saw from pornos back in Japan. They could be a bunch of rapists for all he knew. However, if they had the sense to conduct trade with others like the alraune here, they must be intelligent enough to talk to.

The party ultimately stowed their weapons, seeing that the alraune wasn't a threat. The alraune was only hungry, and if Kanae was in her position, he would have hoped someone would be kind enough to feed him in kind. Although his kind of feeding was very different…

Sympathizing with the alraune, Kanae reached into his satchel to pull out a fragment of crystallized mana. The shining blue gem was one of many they had pocketed when the mana-vamp starfishes went on a feeding spree on the demon army. Seeing it left the plant monster girl salivating, eyes-widening, as she fixated on it like a starved child. As soon as he pressed the crystal into her palm, the alraune gulped it whole and squealed delightfully like it was candy she had eaten.

"That… That was maybe a hundred gold she just swallowed…" Arenade mumbled absentmindedly.

"Oh, give it a rest. We're not hurting for money. Besides, it helps to make a friend out here. Especially with an alraune who probably has eyes and ears on what goes on in the forest," Kanae said, producing another crystallized mana to tempt the alraune. "There's a village called Bisk near here. Apparently shady-looking people came through a little earlier. They kidnapped my friends, so I'm looking for them."

"It must have been the carriage that came down that stone road. For whatever reason, they didn't follow along the wall as many do and went deeper into the forest instead," Tearal explained.

"That has to be them! Do you know where they were headed?" Kanae snatched the alraune's soft hands and leaned in so close that he startled her.

"I don't know for sure. I can only sense as far as my roots let me, and I sensed they had traveled past the brook some time ago. If you're heading that way, perhaps you may check in on the goblin village for me, too. Someone there must know more," she insisted.

Thanking the alraune, they gathered their things to be on their way. However, before leaving, Edina scooped handfuls of nectar into a glass jar.

"Really?" Kanae put his hands on his hips.

"What? It tastes good!" Edina exclaimed.

"Ah, you think so?" Tearal smiled, squeezing her breasts and pinching both nipples, milking out what looked like the same substance. "I believe they are what your kind calls… breast milk and vaginal secretions. The goblins I have a rapport with in this forest drink it as grog."

Suddenly, Edina didn't look so keen on collecting the nectar anymore.

"I… don't know if I should be grossed out or aroused," Edina frowned, but ultimately gathered a jar for herself.

The forests here were just as vast as Turic, but trees were much less dense and terrain was easier to traverse through. It seemed more active at night, with creatures darting from branch to branch. They stayed close to the trees, careful to avoid having open spaces around them at all times in order to see a potential ambush coming.

The brook was just below the hill they had crested over, and a little ways beyond it was a wooden palisade wall, erected haphazardly with many gaps in between the old, moss-covered lumber. As the party drew closer, expecting the chatter of goblins, they were instead met with dead silence. Peeking in between the gaps revealed no light or life. Torches and braziers had gone cold, the doors of many shoddily built cabins were either broken or left wide open, and only a raccoon was present, nibbling on a piece of meat hanging on a drying rack.

"Where in the three hells is everyone?" Edina muttered.

"Whatever happened," Kanae began, gesturing to the many boot prints on the ground leading in and out of the entrance that were too large to be goblins. "They might not have left willingly."
