Ch171: A Brief Lunch Break ♥
In heat, Casual Nudity, as well as a little bit of Cock Worship and Groping.
The Drakling’s coiled tail mindlessly jerks along her throbbing length. A few spurts of creamy cum are coaxed out of her cock, those sticky ropes arcing through the air before raining down onto Adeline’s prone and twitching body, splattering into that tiny blonde’s light olive skin. A meager amount compared to the size of her usual load. On its own, at least.
The heat-addled Halfling twitches and trembles as a certain inhumanly long tongue struggles to slide free from her slit, that tapered thing wiggling side to side while it slowly retreats. “Hhhheeiie~...” A weak gasp squeaks its way past her parted lips.
Krvavy can’t help but give her bunny-mouse girl’s generous rear one last groping squeeze, scaled fingers sinking into soft and yielding flesh. A moment later, her hands glide just a short distance down, latching onto some wondrously wide hips.
“Hhhhhah~...” Fresh air fills Krvavy’s lungs for the first time in... at least an hour as she carefully lifts Adeline up and off of her face.
The bunny-mouse girl hardly makes a noise as she is gently placed down onto the moss bedding, her upper body still sprawled across the barbarian’s belly, a puddle of drool having long since pooled atop those pale abs.
A slightly damp towel suddenly slaps into Krvavy’s face. “Ugh, here.”
“Mhhhn...” The Drakling groans as she is given no choice but to pull that square of wet fabric aside. It was pretty hard to breathe with it in place. Slowly, her eyes crack open. She blinks a few times, finding herself staring up a beautiful brat, that noble girl sitting on a higher ledge of their bed. “How lohng hafth... have you been here...?”
The silver-blonde brat simply shrugs her shoulders. “Long enough for you orgasm twice.”
“And you just...” Krvavy rolls her stiff and sore jaw, hoping to loosen it a little. “You just... sat there and watched?”
Thea casually crosses her legs, the hem of her sundress brushing against her squished thighs. “I see you at least had the foresight to reduce how much seed you expel with each orgasm.” She comments, trying to ignore both Krvavy’s question and the pink hue colouring her cheeks. “Still made quite the disgusting mess though...”
Krvavy glances at the Halfling lying by her side. There is really no other way to put it: the poor girl is an absolute mess. It doesn’t look like there is a single spot on Adeline’s back that hasn’t been glazed with cum. An entire ocean covers her light olive skin, gathering in the shallow divot of her lower back and dripping down her sides. Her dark-blonde hair is even worse off. Sticky seed has soaked into those loose strands, going a little crusty as it slowly dries. And that is saying nothing of her rather absorbent bunny ears...
“Hmph... I suppose that it cannot be helped...” With a lazy sigh, Thea lifts up her arm. A faint pink glow dances across her fingers and gathers within her palm. That hand slowly swipes through the air.
The barbarian’s breath catches in her throat as an oddly pleasant... itch... spreads throughout her body, tickling and prickling almost like a limb that had fallen asleep. Her tail twitches and finally releases her cock, its coiled grip going limp as it lets that still-stiff shaft droop down to rest its tip atop the Halfling’s head.
“Ugh...!” The bratty girl sneers at that sight, stretching out a leg and gently poking at the Drakling’s dick with a dainty toe. Her blush shifts from pink to a shade of red and begins to spread down to her shoulders. “At least... have the decency to... to avoid making more of a mess...!” Those words hiss through her clenched teeth, sounding rather strained as she hesitantly lifts that girthy rod up and away from Adeline.
A single drop of cum drips down from the Drakling’s dick, landing on Thea’s foot.
Warmth emanates from all around them. As does a radiant pink light. The entirety of this mess, be it sweat or saliva or even that dollop of sticky seed slowly sliding across Thea’s soft skin, shines as if lit from within... only to suddenly and abruptly disappear into nothingness as a fraction of a second ticks by.
“Huh.” Krvavy slowly exhales, a tingling shiver washing over her now completely clean skin and scales. Not a speck of the mess that she made remains. Not on herself, and not on Adeline either. Her elbows press into the similarly cleaned moss that makes up the bed beneath her, the head of that seemingly unconscious Halfling slowly sliding into her lap as she gently and gradually pushes herself upright. “Any reason why you didn’t mention that new spell earlier?” She curiously asks.
“Shut up.” Thea grumpily grumbles back, trying to look stern and not pouty as she grabs a rather large bowl off of a nearby wooden tray, holding it out towards the Drakling. “Just eat your lunch...”
Krvavy eyes that offered food, her stomach rumbling at the mere thought of getting to eat something other than Adeline’s sweet juices. No matter how delicious those lewd liquids may be. Her right arm shifts... and then suddenly stops. A thin tail remains tightly twisted around her wrist, the fluffy tuft of dark-blonde hair at its tip brushing against the back of her hand. With hardly a thought, she pulls the Halfling’s still-shuddering body close against her side, letting that girl rest in a much more comfortable position, cuddled into the crook of her arm.
Only then does she take the bowl from Thea’s outstretched hands. “So...” Careful not to make a mess, the barbarian brings a spoonful of lukewarm stew up to her mouth. It would taste better if properly hot, but... beggars can’t be choosers. “About that new spell...”
“Ugh...!”
“Come on, you can’t expect me to ignore what you just did.” The Drakling gently smiles, her sharp teeth easily tearing apart a small chunk of meat. She swallows that mouthful of food before continuing. “Though I guess I could just use Inspect if you don’t want to talk about it...?”
“It is nothing special!” The silver-blonde brat hastily deflects, turning her flushed face away. “It is simply a... a cleaning spell!”
“Didn’t feel like it just cleaned me~.” Krvavy playfully replies, her lips spreading wider as Thea’s blush only grows brighter. She doesn’t even have to lie or exaggerate to tease that brat. The tingling warmth brought by Thea’s ‘simple cleaning spell’ has left Krvavy feeling... rather amorous. Which is pretty impressive considering what she’s been doing all morning.
“Blame the Dwarf!” The noble girl hisses back, scowling at the other bowl resting on the tray. “It was her idea to make me use Eromancy for such a mundane purpose!”
Another spoonful of lukewarm stew is swallowed down by the Drakling. “Still, progress is progress.” Joy oozes from her voice, genuine and earnest. “The fact that you learned a new spell, even if it wasn’t exactly what you wanted, is something to be proud of.”
“It is Inanna’s spell more than my own..” Thea dryly states, just barely glancing towards Krvavy. “It was her idea to... ugh... to ‘utilize my desire to not be filthy’ to ‘force reality to conform to my will’, or whatever it was that she said... I only went along with it because she would not shut up otherwise...”
“But you still learned it in the single day that I wasn’t around to bug you. That’s pretty impressive.” Krvavy meets her fiancée’s gaze with love and adoration in her eyes... which quickly causes that blushing brat to look away once more. “And don’t forget that all of your other spells are from levelling Eromancy up, so this is the first one you got because you put your mind to it. That i–”
“Sh-shut up! And just eat your lunch!” The flustered noble girl cuts Krvavy off with a sputtered shout. Her chest rises and falls beneath her sundress as she takes long and deep breaths, trying to compose herself. The scent of sex still lingering in the air almost certainly does not help with that, her flushed skin refusing to fade back to its usual light tone. “Hmph...” Thea lowers herself down onto the moss bedding with a very reluctant sigh, grabbing the other bowl as she does so.
The barbarian raises an eyebrow as her brat brings a spoonful of stew up to the Halfling’s parted lips. Adeline may not be entirely conscious right now, but that doesn’t stop her from eating whatever ends up in her mouth.
“Do not expect me to use that spell very often.” The silver-blonde brat plainly states, trying to act casual even as she hand feeds the Halfling. “It is... not the most pleasant to cast.”
A knowing gleam shimmers across Krvavy’s emerald eyes. “I think you mean that it’s too pleasant to cast, right~?”
“Ugh...” The girl just groans and shakes her head, doing her best to ignore the Drakling’s smug smile. “How have your attempts at satisfying this little rabbit been going?” She asks with a sigh, trying to change the topic once again.
Krvavy stares at that beautiful brat for a good long second. “I’m not sure.” She shrugs her shoulders and turns her gaze towards the topic of that question. Her brow knits together, her touch slowly trailing down Adeline’s soft belly. The Halfling’s coiled tail tightens its grip around her wrist as the very tips of her fingers dive between those thick thighs, briefly brushing against the quivering girl’s lower lips.
That faint bit of contact on its own is enough to make Adeline’s bottom-heavy body shudder in pure bliss.
A frown finds its way onto the Drakling’s face as she elaborates on her answer. “Good, but clearly not good enough...”
“Ha... It is surreal to hear you of all people complain about someone else being insatiable...” Thea slowly shakes her head, bringing the next spoonful of stew up to the bunny-mouse girl’s mouth. “I thought that you would enjoy this.”
The Drakling glances sideways at her brat. “I... I am a pervert, you know that.” A tinge of bitterness underlines those words. “A part of me is loving the fact that I am finally able to, well, get intimate with Adeline. But... It just doesn’t feel right doing it like this. I feel like I’m taking advantage of her. There is really no other way to put it...” A long and weary sigh slowly passes through Krvavy’s lips, her head tilting down as she glances at the tiny blonde cuddling up against her side.
The bunny-mouse girl is barely conscious, staring blankly ahead with half-lidded eyes. Each ragged and uneven breath she takes sees her nearly flat chest rapidly rise and fall, enough force in those rough motions for her tiny tits to jiggle and bounce... if just a bit. Her shaky hands clench and unclench around nothing but air as they press down into her lap. Her whole body quivers and shakes as if incapable of keeping still, wide hips wiggling while her thick thighs rub together.
“Hmph, really?” The bratty blonde derisively raises a single delicate eyebrow. “Are you feeling guilty about this?” She vaguely waves the spoon towards the Halfling.
“I attacked the caravan she was with and then kidnapped her.” Krvavy quite dryly states. “If I hadn’t done that, then she wouldn’t be going through this right now.”
“If, if, if...” Thea sneers and rolls her eyes. “Seriously, shut up. It does not matter ‘if’ you did something different, because that is not what happened. You did attack her caravan and you did abduct her. Just like you attacked that bandit camp and ‘rescued’ me. Are you going to sit around and think about what would have happened ‘if’ you did not do that? ‘If’ you had left those bandits alone or ‘if’ you had left me in that cage? Stop wasting your time thinking about those ‘ifs’ and deal with what actually happened.”
Krvavy takes a deep breath and very slowly exhales. “You know, it is really odd to hear something so mature said in such an immature way...” That idle comment earns her a rather intense glare. “Sorry, it’s just...” She softly shakes her head. “You’re right.”
“Of course I am!” Thea huffs and rolls her eyes again. Her arms twitch slightly as she quite clearly resists the urge to cross them, instead resuming her task of feeding the dazed Halfling. Despite her dislike for the bunny-mouse girl, Thea is still fulfilling her self-imposed duty with quite a bit of care. “It is ridiculous that you even need to be told such a simple thing!”
“Maybe, but I can’t help it.” The Drakling weakly shrugs her shoulders, looking down at her half-eaten lunch. “I’m not sure if I can stop myself from overthinking all the time, and I definitely can’t just change how I feel.”
“Will I need to constantly remind you of something so basic?”
The faintest smile tugs at the corners of Krvavy’s lips. “It wouldn’t hurt.” The slightly exasperated look directed her way only causes that smile to grow, her heart filling with warmth. “Doubt you’d make the best conscience, but I would still love to have you in my head~.”
“Ugh...” The silver-blonde noble girl just groans at that.
A comfortable quiet surrounds the barbarian, brat, and bunny-mouse girl. Krvavy soon finishes her lunch, leaving her with nothing to do but patiently watch as Thea hand feeds the Halfling.
A wet pop rings out as the spoon escapes from Adeline’s suckling lips, a lewd string of saliva stretching quite the distance from her mouth. That bottom-heavy blonde jumps ever so slightly as her own drool drips down onto her heaving chest. The stiff little nubs of her nipples seem to harden even further, drawing the Drakling’s attention.
“What do you think of this ‘plan’ that your Dwarf came up with?” Thea idly asks, not content with the relative quiet of these past few minutes.
“To be honest...” The barbarian brushes a loose strand of dark-blonde hair away from Adeline’s incredibly flushed face. “I don’t have much hope in this working.”
The bratty girl narrows her soft-blue eyes. “You had better not be giving up on this little rabbit.”
“I’m not. I might not expect much from this desperate plan, but it’s not like there is anything else I can do.” Krvavy replies with a slow sigh. “And even if it actually does work, then what about next time? Look at the poor girl. She shouldn’t have to go through this every couple of months.”
“You are making it sound a lot worse than it actually is. Once she gets over the embarrassment, I am sure that this horny little rabbit will enjoy the time you spent with her.” Thea dryly states, pointedly moving a hand down to gently brush against one of the Halfling’s stiff nipples, effortlessly drawing a lewd gasp from the girl. “There is barely a thought in her head, and even the slightest contact fills her with bliss. She is having the time of her life.”
Krvavy quirks her brow. “Speaking from experience?”
Thea’s slowly fading blush rapidly returns, her cheeks burning a bright red. “Sh-shut up!” She hotly hisses back. “And stop being so mopey! You are not convincing anyone! We both know that you want to keep her! You greedy and possessive Dragon!”
“I...!” The Drakling immediately trails off, knowing that there is really no point in defending herself. “Can you blame me? She is adorable.”
“Ugh...” The noble girl seems a little disappointed that Krvavy chose to be honest. That robbed her of the chance to berate this barbarian a bit more. “You are utterly incorrigible...”
“Hey, just because I want to keep her doesn’t really mean anything. If she wants to go home, then I’ll help her get there safely. It’s just...” Krvavy frowns and glances down at the Halfling. “She kind of needs to be in a clear state of mind to make that decision...”
“Hmph.” Thea huffs and shakes her head as she brings the last bit of stew up to Adeline’s mouth. “That just sounds like an excuse to continue doing lewd things with this rabbit. Does that mean you will keep her here forever if you cannot satisfy her heat? How convenient.”
“Hhaaahhn~...” The Halfling shudders and gasps for seemingly no reason, leaning further into the barbarian’s body.
Thea just rolls her eyes and places the now-empty bowl aside.
“If there is really nothing that we can do to help her, then I will bring Adeline back to her home.” Krvavy firmly states, staring intently at her brat. “I’m not going to make her spend the rest of her life like this.”
“So I could be rid of her by simply thwarting your attempts at satisfying her lust?” Thea’s cold blue eyes calmly meet the Drakling’s hardening gaze. “Ha. No need to worry about that. I may not be fond of this rabbit, but I am not going to sabotage her pleasure. I am not going to ruin our relationship for such an idiotic reason.”
Tension leaves Krvavy’s body as she lets out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.
“You can keep her, for all I care.” The bratty girl adds with an uncaring shrug.
“So you’re okay with her becoming one of ‘my girls’?” The barbarian can’t help but let a bit of eagerness into her voice. “Hypothetically speaking?”
“Ugh, do not go that far.” The noble girl’s cheeks flush slightly as she avoids answering the question, instead rolling her eyes and rising to her feet. “Now, do you think that you can handle her heat all on your own, or –?”
“Are you offering to help?!” Krvavy’s eyes widen in surprise, her more melancholic mood banished in an instant.
“N-no!” The brat hastily responds, her blush burning even brighter. “At least not in the way that you are thinking, you degenerate pervert! But with my magic! To keep your energy up! Or maybe make her a little more sensitive! Why would I ever want to join in wi–!”
“P-pleeaaaashhhnm~...!”
“AAHHH!” Thea screams as that little Halfling suddenly lunges forwards, latching onto her left leg. Trembling arms wrap tight around the noble girl’s knee. “Why is she conscious again?!” Thea’s palm presses against that shorter blonde’s forehead, keeping Adeline from kissing and nibbling at her squishy thigh. “And why are you just sitting there?! G-get her off of me!”
Krvavy can’t help but smile as she reaches over and gently grabs that bunny-mouse girl by the shoulder. A pair of hazy hazel-brown eyes immediately snap towards her, and then drop down into her lap.
“Hhhnnneeieiiiie~...!” Adeline squeals in excitement, her pupils dilating by an almost worrying degree. Sticky strings of arousal stretch between her gushing pussy and Thea’s shin as she releases her grip on that girl’s leg, turning her full attention towards Krvavy...’s cock.
Which remains just out of her reach.
A single little fist pounds at the Drakling’s wrist, unable to dislodge the hand that is so effortlessly holding this Halfling at bay. “So about that help...?”
“Ugh, why did I even offer...?” The noble girl grumbles, grabbing the forgotten towel and giving her lower leg a quick wipe, glaring at the heat-addled Halfling all the while.
“Hnnghhmm~...!” Adeline groans in growing frustration, tears already threatening to stream down her round and rosy cheeks as she stares at the semi-stiff shaft that she so desires. If only her arms weren’t quite so short...
Thea tilts her head back and groans. “Can you not just upgrade Superior Stud instead...?”
“You aren’t getting out of this that easily.” The Drakling dryly states, her brow knitting together as she stares at the squirming bunny-mouse girl. What started off as a kind of cute struggle has quickly become rather depressing. With a sigh, she lets go of Adeline.
Who immediately falls flat on her face.
“Yhhhhshshhhhshshhhh~!” The heavily slurred sound of what is almost certainly a cheer can be heard as that Halfling shakily scrambles forward, wasting no time in nuzzling right up against that ridged rod. “Mhwwhmhhghhmwh~...!” A number of lewd sounds rumble through Krvavy’s colossal cock as kiss upon kiss upon sloppy nibbling kiss is planted along its steadily stiffening length.
“Are you not going to even consider it?” Thea scornfully wonders, a frown filling her increasingly flushed face as she quite critically watches the Halfling’s clumsy attempts at worshipping the Drakling’s dick.
Krvavy closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, each beat of her heart causing her shaft to swell in size. There is really no harm in looking at what the next upgrade is, to refresh her memory. Maybe it will be helpful?
Superior Stud III: 6 Divine Favour. Can now increase fertility up to 200% of its base level, and all of your sexual activities cause up to +50% pleasure to those involved. Upgradable.
Right... Half of what it does is pretty much useless, and the other half is already something that Thea’s magic can do.
“Hhhahaahh~...!” Something resembling laughter emerges past Adeline’s parted lips, only to be quickly muffled as she buries her nose between the barbarian’s rather big balls, her little hands making that heavy sack look even more huge than it truly is.
The barbarian bites her bottom lip and tries to focus despite the waves of bliss washing over her very being. “Do you think it is safe to increase Adeline’s sensitivity a bit, or to just make her feel more pleasure?” She curiously asks, before quickly clarifying her question. “With your magic, I mean.”
“Ugh...” The silver-blonde brat groans, the faintest tinge of annoyance in her expression as she stares straight into the Drakling’s emerald eyes. “According to your Dwarf, I should be able to use my existing spells on this rabbit with no real issue, as the energy is ‘focused in its purpose’. And provided that I do so ‘in moderation’ without ‘going overboard’. Which definitely means that I cannot zap her, nor should I attempt to do anything new with my magic. I...” Her frown deepens just a bit. “I do not have fine enough control to ensure that nothing will go wrong. A brief lapse in focus could be... disastrous.”
Krvavy slowly nods her head as she mentally goes over that brat’s spells. Bolstering Bliss won’t be helpful at all, with it only affecting Thea. Nymph’s Respite isn’t much better, as it turns all the pleasure that Thea experiences into Health and Mana regen. If it affected Stamina as well, then it’d be something to consider... Euphoric Embrace, on the other hand, mi–
“Does the next upgrade for Superior Stud make you better at pleasing whoever you have sex with?” The bratty blonde bluntly asks, interrupting Krvavy’s train of thought. “Because it feels like you are trying to avoid spending your favour on something that I might be able to do for you.”
Adeline, once more, interrupts the conversation. “Eeeeiieiiiie~!?” She sharply squeaks in surprise, staring wide-eyed at the single drop of pre slowly trailing down the underside of the Draconic dick that is absolutely towering above her.
“What~...” Krvavy’s heart skips a beat as that bottom-heavy blonde’s tiny tongue timidly touches her throbbing cock, slowly and reverently trailing upwards. “What makes you think that I can even afford the upgrade after~...” Each hot and needy breath that Adeline takes brushes against her sensitive skin. “After everything else I’ve bought today~?”
“You would have already said so.” The noble girl sighs and shakes her head. “Stop being so greedy and just buy the damned thing. Or are those few points worth more than Adeline’s suffering?”
A pang of guilt pierces through the Drakling’s pleasure, her lips twisting down into a frown. She bites the inside of her cheek hard enough for a metallic taste to fill her mouth. That pain helps her focus. It encourages her to be honest with herself.
She is just trying to find an excuse to avoid spending the last of her favour. Which isn’t fair to the poor bunny-mouse girl.
And so, with a bit of reluctance, Krvavy upgrades Superior Stud, fully aware that she was just guilted into throwing away those six points of favour. Of course, the horny part of her mind doesn’t particularly care about that. In fact, it is quite happy to have the excuse to spend her favour on upgrading that perverted trait. Why would she not want to be able to bring more pleasure to her girls~?
“Mwwhei~!” Adeline’s back arches, her tiny tits nearly bumping into the Drakling’s dick as she abruptly juts out her chest. “Hhhhheeiiieeehh~...!” A happy look flits across her incredibly flushed face. That bottom-heavy bunny-mouse trembles and shivers, wiggling her wide hips while pressing her round rear back into the large palm that just landed on it with a light smack.
“There, I did it~.” A soft sigh passes through Krvavy’s pale lips, her strong fingers idly kneading Adeline’s ample ass. “But that doesn’t get you off the hook~.” With great difficulty, she pulls her gaze away from the heat-addled Halfling who has started to all but make out with the tip of her dick, staring instead at her beautiful brat. “It might be helpful to also use Euphoric Embrace on her~. As long as i–iiht is safe~.”
Thea scowls and furrows her brow. She is trying pretty hard to ignore all the lewdness happening in front of her, but the brightness of her blush and the visible bumps of her nipples poking through her sundress make it quite clear that she isn’t doing the best job at that. “What makes you think that that would be a good idea?” She asks with a huff, crossing her arms... beneath her breasts, lifting up those perky mounds in the process.
“That spell is – hahhh~...! It is pretty much made for this kind of situation~.” The Drakling returns, her attempt at a dry tone ruined by the sheer amount of arousal underlining those words. “It’ll make pleasuring her easier and will also – nhhhh~!” Krvavy bites back a moan, having made the mistake of meeting Adeline’s glassy gaze.
Acknowledging her presence only emboldens that bunny-mouse girl, her trembling fingers bumping into the flared crown of that colossal cockhead, trying to wrap around its swollen shaft but simply just squeezing it tight. Her thumbs twitch, caressing the most sensitive spot just beneath its dribbling tip. “Hhhhheii~!?” Which earns her a mouthful of delicious pre.
The barbarian takes a deep breath. “It’ll also help her remain conscious as we make her cum again and again and again~...!” She blurts out those words as quickly as she can, not wanting to get interrupted again.
“Yes, but it will also bolster her libido. Do I need to point out how that is the opposite of what we want to do right now...?” Thea groans, grasping at straws in search of any excuse that will help her avoid the perverse job that she volunteered to do. “Plus, it... it only lasts for a single orgasm...!”
“Come on, we–eeh~–’ve used it enough to know that that isn’t really true~...!” Krvavy grins back, the hand not groping this bunny-mouse girl’s rather big butt finding itself resting atop that Halfling’s head, gently stroking the base of those floppy bunny ears. Which seems to calm Adeline down a little. “Yeah it’ll make her lust – hahh~... – more intense, but it won’t increase it~. So if she is anything like you, then that should make it easier to burn her heat out~...! Plus, the effects won’t completely fade away when she cums~. They’ll linger around as long as she remains aroused~.”
“And is that not a problem of its own?” A tinge of concern underlines that question, even as the bratty girl lightly bites her bottom lip, watching Adeline kiss and lick the tip of her Draconic fiancée’s dick with just a bit of envy in her eyes. “Are you not worried that my magic will haunt her for days on end if we were to fail in ending her heat...?”
“You aren’t that powerful~.” Her brat’s lustfully longing look quickly shifts into a glare, no matter how truthful that comment may be. “Unless your magic is somehow way stronger when cast on – nhh~... – on someone other than yourself, I’d bet that the effects will fade in less than an hour of near-constant cumming~. Just like it does with you~.”
The silver-blonde noble girl looks away from the blunt barbarian, failing to hide her ever-deepening blush.
“So~... Will you stick around and help me deal with Adeline’s heat~?” Krvavy asks as calmly as she can, gently patting Adeline’s head and groping that girl’s rather round rear, all while looking expectantly at her beautiful brat. “You don’t really need to do much beyond refreshing the spell when it wears off~.”
“Ugh...” Thea’s shoulders sag in exaggerated defeat. “Fine~...!”
