Hentai Dragon King

Having almost become addicted to sex, I had Lucia transform into Baka to suppress my lust.

After returning to the settlement, we entered the hot spring and washed away the sweat of the night before everyone else woke up.

Rafilia-san had already started preparing breakfast; a faint trail of smoke was rising from the entrance of the hut.

Because Baka had become completely smooth, she now walked slowly while fidgeting with her legs.

Once the meal was over, we learned numbers and letters from Rafilia-san. For the time being, the goal was for the capybara girls to be able to count the number of their companions.

In the afternoon, Kaka, Pipi and I went to help with the reconstruction work in Margolant.

The dog girls hunted within Margolant territory. We made a large wooden box, had them ride in it, and had Kaka and Pipi carry it. It was a flying carriage.

Fullru was creating a forest along the Urethral River.

Rafilia-san and Dura-san were spinning the wool of the giant capybara into thread.

The horse girls, cat girls, and capybara girls were making dried fish.

I had named them capybara girls because the way Kemolori sat in the washbasin looked just like a capybara, but it seemed they really did possess some of a capybara’s nature—they were good at swimming. They weren’t skilled enough to catch fish on their own, but they had enough swimming ability not to drown even if they were carried a little by the current.

Just as a real capybara can hold its breath underwater for several minutes, the capybara girls also had high diving ability. Everyone cooperated to surround the fish and catch them.

It had been uncertain whether Iferaski and the cat girls would work seriously, but after Dura-san said something to them in her space-talk technique, they all became motivated. They were all free-spirited types, so I was a little worried, but as long as the serious Ranjou was left in the leadership role, it should be fine.

And so the next day arrived.

"Baka, let’s settle the ranking, deshu!"

"I’ll counterattack..."

After breakfast, Raba challenged Baka to a decisive ranking battle.

There were twelve capybara girls, and because Rafilia-san was picking cabbage and serving the meals, there wasn’t much difference in when they started eating. Even so, ranking was apparently important.

When they bumped into each other while going for seconds, the one lower in the ranking had to step back. Baka only pretended to eat during meal-play and never took seconds.

Even so, Raba had to challenge her in order to escape the lowest rank.

Having successfully caught a big fish during the fishing and riding that momentum, Raba must have judged that now was the chance to challenge Baka.

In the open space in front of the hut, Raba and Baka glared at each other.

What a loose sense of tension. It had even less intensity than a staring contest.

Surrounding the two were the ten other capybara girls, the cat girl Shiro, Rafilia-san, and me. Even though it was a battle between gods, the other girls apparently had no interest in a ranking battle.

"Fah!"

"Fah!"

They hugged each other!

It looked like nothing more than the two of them happily embracing.

They desperately tried to attack each other with their short limbs, but they couldn’t reach.

They were pushing against each other with the potbellies unique to little-girl builds.

"This match, Baka-chan will lose. Raba wins!"

Kemolori predicted the outcome with a sharp, decisive expression that almost seemed audible.

At first glance it looked even...

Ah!

Baka’s footing wasn’t solid.

I see. Because she was embarrassed about being smooth, she couldn’t spread her legs.

As expected of the boss, Kemolori. From the side you couldn’t tell any difference in how far their short legs were open, but Kemolori could apparently see it.

"Fah!"

"Fah!"

The two threatened each other.

If anything, Baka’s cries seemed tinged with impatience.

Thud.

Baka fell, and Raba climbed on top of her.

"I won, deshu!"

"Uuu..."

In this new land, Baka had fallen to the lowest rank.

Sorry. It’s because I shaved your pubic hair...

Uuu. So frustrating...

"Raba is getting stronger."

"We can’t afford to slack off either."

The other capybara girls seemed inspired, and several more ranking battles took place.

There were a few rank changes, but Kemolori maintained her position as boss.

The top three—Kapi, Kaba, and Pika—held onto first, second, and third place as the strong ones.

It was peaceful.

Life on the Glans was far too calm. After defeating the flying monster on the first day, nothing particularly eventful had occurred.

And so another three days or so passed.

Once, a light flurry of snow fell, though not enough to accumulate.

As usual, I was building huts in the village of Margolant territory. It looked like we would be able to finish the reconstruction of Margolant before the real snow began.

Building the huts had become enjoyable; I started wanting to paint them and make modifications. It felt similar to the fun of DIY or plastic model kits. Because Dura-san and Kaka-Pipi made house kits that could be easily assembled by fitting parts together, the hard parts one would normally have to endure were gone, leaving only the fun.

I had thought this peaceful time would continue until the land was sealed by snow.

But—

Just as I was about to pick up a board to fit between the pillars, Lucia appeared in front of me.

Unusually, she was in her girl form. It was the first time since the night we had anal sex.

She was wearing a pure white, unadorned outfit.

Because the divine aura that leaked from her would frighten the sharp-sensed beast girls, Lucia almost never took her girl form... yet here she was.

"Something terrible is going to happen!"

"Eh?"

Her voice was a little fast, and one I had rarely heard. Was she nervous?

It was an expression I had never seen before.

Was this impatience? Fear?

Lucia grabbed the floating Kaka and Pipi and hugged them tightly with both arms.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Come!"

What in the world?!

Lucia adjusted her hold on Kaka and Pipi with her left arm, then grabbed my wrist with her right hand—and in the next instant, we were somewhere else.

It was a wasteland stretching in every direction, surrounded by bare mountains.

The Glans. The place where I had been transferred to this other world, and also the place I had returned to together with Kaka and Pipi after going to Japan.

It was dark. Dark clouds filled the sky.

Gorogorogorogoro...

Ice was colliding inside the snow clouds, generating static electricity and becoming thunder, most likely.

Kaa!

It flashed. The ice clouds were discharging electricity.

Was this the precursor to a storm, or something else entirely...?

If one knew nothing, it would look like the gods of the heavens were raging in fury, but with modern knowledge I could tell that both the darkness and the flashing were natural phenomena.

However...

Even so, looking at Lucia’s expression made me feel that some kind of divine phenomenon might be occurring.

Kaka and Pipi, released from Lucia’s arms and floating again, also seemed not to understand what was happening. Being stuffed animals, nothing could be read from their expressions, but they were looking around warily.

"Lucia, what in the world..."

"...Over there!"

Lucia was staring ahead restlessly. She was fidgeting, moving her hands without composure.

I had never seen Lucia like this.

A god was shaken. What on earth was about to happen?

Was some tremendous incident about to occur?

Could it be that the Demon King who had been hinted at before was invading?

Did the Demon King possess power rivaling even the gods?

I felt a little glad, though it was improper.

After all, the ones Lucia had brought to this place were me, Kaka, and Pipi.

That meant we were the most reliable beings to her. Being relied upon by Lucia made me happy.

I exchanged glances with Kaka and Pipi and nodded silently.

Even if our strength was meager, we would protect Lucia with everything we had.

"It’s coming!"

"...!"

Kapi!

The space in front of me shone. From the sound of the light, I roughly understood what was happening.

There stood a capybara.

Not a capybara girl—an actual capybara.

The bulge on its forehead was small, so it was a female. An adult, though somewhat small, with reddish fur.
