Chapter 424: Count for Me
A common chicken lays about one egg per day.
Our Legion’s harpies (★ to ★★) lay about three to four eggs per day.
Levis Ann (★★★★★) lays eleven eggs per day.
Therefore, with each additional star, the number of eggs laid per day steadily increases. This has been proven both inductively and systemically.
Which means Halphas should be capable of laying a comparable number. Accordingly, I intended to personally test exactly how many eggs Halphas could produce.
"Wh-what kind of garbage logic is that...!"
"The kind of logic that gets me laid!"
Squelch, squelch.
I drove the head all the way back in. I hadn’t bothered counting how many had gone inside. She was a monster, so her womb would be plenty sturdy.
"Halphas, you’re officially obese now. Bwahaha."
I kneaded her distended belly with my hand. My reasoning was that if she had no chest to grope, I’d settle for her stomach; but the sensation turned out to be surprisingly decent.
"I figured shoving eggs in like that would make it all lumpy, but no. You look pregnant, Halphas!"
"Pregnant... aack, s-stop putting them in! I said stop, ghhk!"
"Did you just talk back to me? Heh heh heh, good. When we’re screwing, you can talk to me the way you used to. Yes, just like back in your Shax days."
I pinched her nipple. Already stiff, it was as firm as the stem of a piece of fruit.
"Try being a little more vicious for me, hm?"
"No! Then you’ll just call me an insolent bitch and go even harder!"
"Busted! Insolent bitch, the fact that you can even think that far ahead means you’ve got energy to spare!"
I scooped up a handful of slime eggs. I tried to pull out to make room for a new one, but Halphas twisted her legs side to side, trying to keep hold of me.
"What’s the matter? Only about thirty have gone in so far."
"It’s forty-five!!"
"Oh, you’ve been counting? Impressive. Then keep counting."
With my free hand, I grabbed her nipple and twisted.
"Hiiik!!"
Halphas threw her head back and came spectacularly. Her belly, now larger than her torso, arched up toward the ceiling.
Having no breasts to speak of meant every ounce of sensitivity there had concentrated into her nipples, so the moment I touched them, the strength drained from her entire body.
"So this is the fabled arousal switch...! Press the button and the whole thing opens right up. Halphas, what a good girl! In that spirit, have another piece of candy."
I grabbed a good-sized egg and pushed it inside her.
Glurk, glurk.
Halphas clamped her thighs inward, trying to block the egg from entering. She seemed to instinctively sense that anything more would push things somewhere strange.
"P-please, really, stop...! My womb can’t take any more...!"
"If your womb can’t take it, we’ll just store them in your passage."
Sliiide.
I thrust forward and pushed in the forty-sixth egg. Just as she’d said, nothing more would fit; another few thrusts and the whole thing would reach oversaturation and burst.
’Can’t have that.’
It wasn’t time for Halphas to lay eggs yet. I pulled out again.
"Hgk, hgggh...!"
Every time my cock forced another egg in, her body convulsed. When I grabbed her belly with my free hand and rocked it back and forth, the sound of liquid sloshing echoed from inside her.
"Hyaaaak!! S-stop! It’s scraping my womb, it’s scraping...!"
Halphas screamed, tears and drool running down her face. Thanks to the slime membrane, the eggs hadn’t ruptured inside, which meant they were still rolling around her womb in their original spherical form.
"Now your passage is going to get scraped too. Number forty-seven, incoming!"
Squelch, squelch. The forty-seventh egg didn’t go in very far. The forty-sixth, which had started sliding back out while I was withdrawing, got shoved right back in by the newcomer behind it.
"Whew. One more and I won’t even be able to fit the head in."
"Master... please, mercy... I’m sorry..."
Halphas began sobbing and pleading. I pulled the head out and quickly inserted the final forty-eighth egg.
"Halphas. Don’t misunderstand. You’ve done nothing wrong."
Squelch. Her entrance, holding the last egg, bulged out just slightly as it cradled it in place.
"If there’s any crime here, it’s only one."
If I didn’t hold her shut with my hand, everything looked ready to come tumbling out at once, so I pressed my palm against her and slipped my other hand under the small of her back.
"The crime of making me want to be inside you. Heave-ho!"
Holding her by the groin and the small of her back, I hoisted her body up in one motion. Her penguin robe slid down and partially covered her swollen belly.
"Looks like maternity wear from this angle. So, are you mentally prepared?"
"What are you planning to... n-no. No way. Absolutely not!!!"
At last, Halphas’s true nature as Shax surfaced. The fierce woman who had hurled curses and spit at me the first time I took her had come roaring back.
"What’s ’no way’?"
"N-nothing. That’s not what I meant, but anyway, no way!!"
"Whaaat exactly is ’no way’? Don’t tell me you’re too embarrassed to say it out loud?"
I leaned her back against my chest. My hands supported her front and back, leaving her suspended with both legs dangling in the air.
"Spread your legs. That’s an order."
"Hn, hnngh.... This really isn’t okay..."
Halphas spread her legs apart, crying as she did. If my fingers hadn’t been holding the eggs in place, they would have come arcing out immediately.
"Halphas. There’s something I owe you an apology for. As a dungeon master, your body became capable of laying countless eggs, but you’ll never actually lay any."
The reason I tried to avoid making my women dungeon masters when possible.
A female dungeon master could conceive from the seed of a baby goblin, yet could never bear a child with another dungeon master.
"I could make you lay eggs the way I did when I had Andras, but that was a spoil of a Seizure Battle, so it’s effectively impossible. Which is why I’m ordering you to give birth by proxy."
If I had been able to sow my seed in Halphas, all forty-five eggs currently inside her womb would have become real eggs and hatched into offspring.
"Lay them! Lay my eggs!"
I moved the hand holding her groin to her thigh. Halphas had no chest, but her thighs were every bit as firm and plump as breasts would have been.
"Ah, i-if you do this, I’m really going to... I’m really...!"
Halphas covered her own face, not even thinking to block anything below. I moved the hand supporting her rear to grip her other thigh.
"I’m really going to lose my mind...!"
Glurk, glurk. Pop!
With an oddly cute sound, an egg shot out of her. Originally nothing but a lump of mucus, the egg glistened with the fluids that had coated it inside her.
"Halphas, you’re going to lose your mind?"
I tugged at her hood. Pressing my lips to the nape of her neck through the black hair swaying beneath it, I whispered.
"Then why is the corner of your mouth turned up?"
"That’s, ahk, I-I’m laying them!"
Glurk, glurk.
Halphas laid two more eggs back to back. The slime eggs, warm from her body heat, rolled against my feet. She had successfully delivered all three eggs that had been lodged in her passage.
"Well done. That’s my Halphas. With this, you’ve truly laid my eggs. You’re the mother of my children now."
"...They’re not even real eggs."
Having barely caught her breath, Halphas pouted and objected. I slapped her rear with my rigid tip.
"Not real eggs? An egg laid with the heart is still an egg! That settles it. I’ll have you laying eggs until you’re a real mother!"
"H-hmph...! It won’t matter if you order me to open up anymore! It’s not like the system’s making me do it, so all I have to do is hold out!"
"Then I’ll just make you lay them through technique! Halphas, I’m taking your back virginity!"
"What?! Th-that’s really not okay, aaagh!"
Squelch. My cock pierced her rear entrance. As befitted an avian demon, her back hole was barely different from the front; if anything, it ran hotter.
"This feeling...? Halphas, you cleaned yourself back here before going into battle! You’ve been keeping yourself ready for me to take you at any moment!"
"Ah, ahh, uuugh..."
Halphas started sobbing, her head lolling as she gasped.
"I was saving the back for Lady Luna...!"
"...!"
What glorious depravity. I licked the tears running down her back with my tongue. The taste of genuine feeling only made me burn hotter.
"Heh heh heh, you were planning to offer your reincarnated back virginity to Luna? Too late! Your front and your back both belong to me now!"
I rocked her body up and down, driving deeper inside her. She gripped me far more tightly than her front had, but I was giving her stimulation far more intense than anything her front had felt.
"Lay my eggs! Become the mother of my children in your heart, in your very soul! Ooooh!"
Thwack.
I drove in.
I hauled my hips up with force and struck deep inside her.
Adjusting the angle of penetration, I pushed forward precisely, hammering the back wall of her womb with each thrust.
"Uuurgh!"
Halphas shuddered, making a sound like the breath had been knocked out of her. A clear spray burst from below. But the eggs she was supposed to lay stayed put.
"This was the one thing I hoped to avoid doing!"
"Then don’t do it, uwah, hnngh, haaang!!"
I kneaded her pregnant belly like an enormous breast. She may have had no chest, but that bulging stomach could easily have been called a Z-cup.
"It’s just like fondling Luna’s tits! Heh heh, so this is a breast? Then this must be an inverted nipple!"
"Wo-would you stop with the insane bullshit already, Master!"
"What? You want it like a dog? Say no more!"
I twisted my body and pitched forward. Halphas landed face-down on the bed and instinctively caught herself on all fours to protect her belly, which naturally left me mounted behind her.
"Nngh, hnnng!!"
"Bwahaha, is it because you’re beast-based? The second you get taken like an animal, you clamp down even tighter!"
I lifted my upper body slightly and grabbed her chest. Thumbs pressed beneath her armpits, middle fingers pinching her nipples.
"O. Pen. Up! In! There!"
I drove downward in a precise four-four beat. Under the relentless rhythm of my hips slapping against her, Halphas finally dropped her head.
"I-I’ll lay them! I’ll lay your eggs, so please!!"
"You should’ve been laying them while you said it, not announcing it first!"
"Ah, ahh, I can’t hold it anymore...! I-I’m laying theeem...!"
Halphas clawed at the bedsheets with trembling hands.
"M-my first delivery and it’s slime eggs, I’m laying theeeem!!"
Squeeeze.
I felt her belly suddenly deflate. My cock, buried in her rear, rose and fell like a wave. As her insides tightened, her front opened impossibly wide.
Glurk, glurk, glurk.
Halphas opened completely. The eggs came out linked in a single neat row, dropping between her knees.
’The textbook move here is making her look down at it.’
Making her watch herself lay them is the crown jewel of the whole thing. But this time I decided not to follow the textbook.
"Laying an egg every time I thrust. What kind of egg-laying machine are you!"
Thrust thrust thrust. Glurk glurk glurk.
Three thrusts produced one egg. Each egg that escaped her womb worked its way out through three separate glurking pulses.
"Now then, whose eggs are these?"
"M-Master’s eggs... heheh, hehehe..."
It wasn’t even laying by sowing. Yet the sheer act of laying eggs alone had left Halphas marinated in climax.
"That’s right. You’re the woman who lays my eggs. You’re mine. So..."
I wrapped my arms tightly around her and thrust in harder.
"Spend the rest of your life laying nothing but my eggs, Halphas."
Smack, smack smack, smack smack.
I kept driving into her from behind like a dog until she passed out, and after she passed out, and after she came to again, right up until every last egg had worked its way free. Stroking the belly that had returned to its sleek, slender shape, I whispered into her ear as she lay limp.
"Round two in the back?"
"..."
Halphas, eyes glazed over, buried her face in the pillow. Her penguin hood flipped back over her head.
"D-do whatever you want..."
"Then I won’t. Ah, maybe I’ll try the back with Levis Ann instead."
"...What the fu... n-no. I wasn’t cursing, I..."
"Liar."
Slap! I smacked her rear, pulled out, and picked up one of the eggs from the floor.
"You’re asking for it, aren’t you? Heh heh. Starting from number one again. Let’s see how many the back can take. Count for me."
"...One♥."
The basket was empty.
