I had completely forgotten about my replies to the Empire and the blonde girl.
"I forgot…"
I reported it to Jerahagudomu-san.
"I thought you were skillfully keeping them in suspense, but you really just forgot?"
Jerahagudomu-san did a little surprised dance.
"Well, you know… things got crazy because of the penguin."
"For now, you should go meet both sides."
"Too slow!!!"
The old man from the Holy Church scolded me.
"I'm sorry. In return, I'll supply all the alcohol to the Church for free. That's what I was working on."
The moment those words left my mouth—
"Oh! That's quick! Very well! Then I forgive you!"
I was instantly pardoned.
He still had plenty of complaints, but whatever. It was fine.
Making the alcohol free had been my plan from the start anyway.
It sounded strange, but whether I charged one silver coin per barrel or gave it away for free didn't make much difference in the long run. Giving it for free let me build up some serious goodwill, so I figured it was the smarter move.
Next, I went to see the blonde girl.
"I asked the penguin to send everyone to the neighboring continent. And here—"
I handed over a pouch containing 100 gold coins—roughly ten million yen.
"Thank you. What should I do now?"
Before she could finish, the penguin's voice boomed from above.
"Already done? I'll send the whole group right now~"
A penguin suddenly dropped from the sky.
I really wished he would stop flying around like that; it was unsettling.
"Everyone who's here, right?"
"Yep~"
In the next instant, the entire group vanished.
They had been teleported back to the Imperial Capital.
"Phew… I'm exhausted."
Today I wanted to take it easy.
Wait—no, I couldn't. It was a business day for the soba shop.
"Welcome!"
I served bowl after bowl of soba to the customers.
I think they've gotten quite used to soba lately.
It was still a shame that this world didn't have a culture of eating piping-hot food. I could only serve soba chilled as zaru soba or slightly warmed.
"Even grilled fish gets eaten after it cools down…"
Tempura was the same. I had to let it cool a little before serving.
Freshly fried tempura is the absolute best, too.
At least the dwarves liked their meat piping hot, so they were closer to my way of thinking. I'd start spreading the idea from people who already understood.
Today I was serving sea-bass-style tempura at the soba shop.
Well, technically it was "something that looked like sea bass."
I dipped the pieces in a soy-based sauce and served them as a side with the soba.
I had prepared a huge batch, but—
"Delicious!"
"This is so good!"
The customers were overjoyed.
"Oh?"
"Is it really that good?"
I handed out samples to everyone.
"Pairs perfectly with sake!"
"Amazing!"
The whole shop erupted in excitement.
Could sea-bass tempura actually conquer the world…?
It was so popular I seriously started wondering.
"Maybe I could run a tempura stall?"
The reputation of the sea-bass tempura spread like wildfire.
I was sure it would sell great when paired with alcohol.
Yeah, definitely.
But then I realized something.
"People in this world can really hold their liquor…"
I said it out loud and suddenly understood.
"Or maybe it's the opposite."
Exactly.
"You can't survive if you're weak to alcohol."
Preserving water was actually extremely difficult here.
Left alone, it spoiled quickly.
Even if you drew it from a well, hauling it up every single time was exhausting.
Wells helped, but most places couldn't draw enough to drink freely.
Rivers were even worse—usually contaminated.
Especially near cities, where all the waste from daily life flowed straight into them. Drinking that was terrible for your health.
So what did people drink?
Alcohol that could be stored for a long time.
It still surprised me, but in this imperial capital, alcohol was actually cheaper than water.
Drinking plain water was genuinely difficult.
There were no faucets you could just turn on.
"I should provide cheap, safe water for people who can't drink alcohol."
Yeah. Let's do that.
At a very low price.
In other words—
"One iron coin will quench your thirst."
I decided to start selling mineral water.
The goal was welfare.
Child mortality rates were high here, and dehydration was apparently one of the major causes. It was actually a pretty serious problem.
Water was only sold in the upscale districts.
The kids around my soba shop were apparently drinking filthy river water.
"You don't notice these things until you really think about it."
Even after six years here, I had never seriously considered the water issue.
I started handing out mineral water to the children.
At just one iron coin, everyone was overjoyed.
That night.
"Funyaah♡♡♡ I want a baby nyaa♡♡♡"
Merry-chan crawled over wearing the cat-ear set I had bought her, acting all cute and needy.
Right now we were deep in the middle of sex with Merry-chan fully dressed in the cat cosplay set.
Unlike Au, who only ever said "Auu auu" despite wearing cat ears, Merry-chan was fully committing to the cat role. I wished Au would learn from her.
"Perverted little kitty♡♡♡ I want your cock nyaa♡♡♡"
She turned her ass toward me and shamelessly spread her soaked pussy, presenting herself like a bitch in heat.
"Yeah… the tail is definitely missing."
"Merry-chan, I'm putting the tail on you."
"Funya?"
I had prepared this thick tail plug in secret just for her.
I coated it generously with lotion and—
*Schlick!*
"Funyaaaaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡♡♡"
I shoved the fat plug deep into her tight, unwashed ass in one rough push.
Her eyes rolled back instantly.
"Oooooohhhhh♡♡♡ It's too deeeep nyaa♡♡♡ My ass is stretching so much, nooo♡♡♡"
Merry-chan wiggled her hips desperately, the tail swishing wildly behind her.
"You're shaking your tail so hard because it feels good? Good girl. I'll stuff your greedy little pussy too."
"Wait♡♡♡ Not right now, please♡♡♡ I'm still sensitive from the plug—"
I ignored her completely and slammed my thick cock straight into her dripping cunt in a single brutal thrust.
"Nyaaaaaaaahhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ Your cock is so biiig nyaa!!"
I immediately started pounding her hard, the tail plug moving in and out of her ass in rhythm with every violent thrust. Her juices splashed everywhere.
"Oooooohhhhhhhhh♡♡♡ This is baaad nyaa♡♡♡ My ass and pussy are both getting destroyed at the same time♡♡♡ I'm gonna turn into a brainless fucktoy♡♡♡"
*Splash! Splash! Splash!*
Merry-chan came violently, squirting all over my cock and thighs.
I grabbed a fistful of her soft hair and yanked her head back roughly, forcing her to arch her back.
"Say it louder, you perverted cat slut. Tell me how much you love being stuffed in both holes."
"Hyaai♡♡♡ I love it nyaa!! Merry's perverted holes are only for your cock!! Please ruin me more♡♡♡"
I slapped her face hard—*SMACK!*—leaving a red handprint on her cheek.
"Again. Beg properly."
"P-please slap me more while you breed me nyaa!! I'm your dumb breeding cat!!♡♡♡"
I slapped her other cheek even harder, then wrapped my hand around her slender throat and squeezed, cutting off her air while I kept slamming into her.
Her eyes widened, tongue lolling out as she gasped for breath.
"Guh… haa… nyaa… choke me harder… I'm cumming again♡♡♡"
I loosened my grip just enough for her to breathe, then immediately choked her again while pounding faster.
"You want a baby that badly? Then take every last drop like the filthy cumdump you are."
"Yes nyaa!! Fill Merry's womb with thick cum!! Make my belly swell with your babies!!♡♡♡"
I pulled out suddenly, grabbed her by the hair, and forced her down onto her knees in front of me.
"Open your mouth wide, kitty. Time for facefucking."
Merry-chan obediently opened her mouth as wide as she could, drool already dripping from her lips.
I shoved my cock straight down her throat in one rough motion, slamming into the back of her throat.
"Gllk—!!♡♡♡"
Tears immediately sprang to her eyes as I started brutally facefucking her, my balls slapping against her chin with every thrust.
"Glk… glk… glk… nyaa… guh…♡♡♡"
I slapped her tear-streaked face repeatedly while throat-fucking her.
*SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!*
"Take it deeper, you worthless cat whore. Choke on my cock like you mean it."
She gagged and drooled messily, but her eyes were filled with pure lust.
"Gllkkk—!! More… slap me more while you rape my throat nyaa!!♡♡♡ I'm just a hole for your pleasure!!"
I pulled her hair harder, using it like reins as I pounded her face mercilessly, my cock bulging in her throat.
After several minutes of rough throat abuse, I yanked her off my cock, strings of thick saliva connecting her lips to my shaft.
"Back on all fours. I'm breeding you again."
I threw her onto the bed, shoved her face down into the sheets, and slammed back into her pussy from behind while yanking the tail plug in and out of her ass even faster.
"Oooooohhhhhhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ Yes nyaa!! Destroy both my holes!! I'm cumming so hard my mind is breaking♡♡♡"
I reached around and choked her neck again, slapping her ass red with my other hand while I railed her.
"You're nothing but a cum-hungry breeding cat now, understand?"
"Hyaai♡♡♡ Yes!! Merry is your personal cumdump cat!! Please cum inside, cum inside, cum insiiide♡♡♡"
I felt her pussy clamp down violently as she squirted again.
With a loud growl I buried myself to the hilt and unleashed a massive load straight into her womb.
"Nyaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh♡♡♡♡♡ So hot… so much cum nyaa!! It's flooding me♡♡♡"
I didn't pull out. Instead I kept thrusting through my orgasm, stirring my cum inside her.
"More… give me more loads nyaa!! I want to be overflowing!!"
I flipped her over onto her back, pushed her legs up to her shoulders, and started pounding her in a deep mating press while choking her and slapping her face again.
*SMACK! SMACK!*
"Beg for another creampie, you sloppy cat slut."
"Please… breed me again!! Pump another thick load into your stupid cat's womb!! I want to get pregnant right now nyaa!!♡♡♡"
I facefucked her with my fingers for a moment, making her gag, then slammed back into her pussy and choked her harder while pulling her hair.
We went on like this for a long time—rough choking, slapping, hair-pulling, and relentless pounding—until I had pumped load after load deep inside her.
Finally, after countless orgasms and creampies, I carried her still-twitching body to the toilet.
Still buried inside her, I sat down on the toilet with her in my lap.
"Nyaa…?♡♡♡"
"Push it all out while I fuck you, kitty."
"Nooo♡♡♡ I'm gonna cum and let everything out at the same time♡♡♡"
"Do it. Show me what a dirty perverted cat you are."
The moment I said that, I started thrusting up into her again while choking her neck.
"I'm cummingggggg!!!!♡♡♡ Everything's coming outtttt!!!!♡♡♡"
*Splash!!!* *Spluuuurt!!!*
Merry-chan made the most obscene, ruined ahegao face as she completely emptied herself while squirting and cumming around my cock.
While looking at the tail that had slipped out of her ass, I smiled darkly.
"Merry-chan, I'm going to pamper that cute little ass of yours even more now."
Hearing that, she spread both her cum-drenched pussy and twitching asshole wide open with trembling fingers and a dreamy, broken smile.
"Hyaai♡♡♡ Please use Merry's cock-only, lewd, perverted asshole that has completely fallen for your dick♡♡♡ Use all of my holes however you want… I'm nothing but your personal breeding pet now♡♡♡"
She looked up at me with pure, blissful, utterly submissive eyes, ready for even more.
