Patty's Welcome

(1) Pamela-san

A continuation of the moment Patty joined our party.

"I'm sorry for being mean. I just wanted to see for myself what kind of Master had won Patty's heart so completely."

Pamela-san's atmosphere had softened entirely.

… So I'd somehow passed muster in Pamela-san's eyes? If so, that was a relief.

"… As an apology, and as her mother, let me show off one more of Patty's charms."

Pop, pop…

At that, Pamela-san unfastened the front of her top, and…

"Eh…"

Boing, just like Patty's… she put her slightly tanned, oversized breasts on full display.

"Wh-whoaaa…"

S-spectacular… What enormous breasts…!

"… Now, Naoto-san. Put your mouth to my breasts, and… try suckling.

"Patty, you come too. It's been a while."

"Yes Mama～! Naoto-san, let's enjoy them together! Mama's milk is super yummy～!"

"Eh, ah, ah…"

Egged on by Patty as well, I drifted toward Pamela-san's enormous, enormous breasts as if drawn in.

The closer I got, the more those breasts filled my vision, and on top of that… an intensely sweet fragrance hit me.

"Ah, aah…"

I timidly reached out my hand and… touched Pamela-san's breast.

"Mm, ha… aah… Such a gentle touch…"

Pamela-san let out a sweet sigh.

S-soft… The size and softness were about the same as Patty's, but somehow they had an even more moist, dewy feel to them… Aah… my mouth, my mouth was being pulled in with terrifying force.

In a daze, I took Pamela-san's nipple into my mouth. The instant I did, my mouth filled with a sweet, rich flavor.

This is… it's coming out, milk, it's coming out! Sweet nectar overflowed from Pamela-san's nipple.

Patty was right there with me, her mouth on Pamela-san's breast too. She made little chuu, chuu, chuu noises in her throat as she worked her mouth, suckling, drinking down Pamela-san's milk.

… Watching Patty suckle, I thought she looked cute as a baby… but I also understood now.

I see, so it wasn't a metaphor. Pamela-san's breasts really did produce milk…!

A-and on top of that, this stuff is… d-delicious!

I mean, I'm pretty hopeless at describing beauty, but I might be even more hopeless at describing flavors. Still, it was just plain delicious!

Sweet to the point of being nearly honey itself. And yet with this thick, rich savor on top. Like milk with butter and honey melted into it, that kind of vibe. But even better. Or coconut milk, or tapioca milk, or… I really had no idea how to describe it, but, anyway… extraordinarily, ridiculously delicious.

And on top of that… whoa, my body was burning up! I felt full of energy! Specifically, my lower half.

While suckling Pamela-san's breast, my dick had stiffened to the point of nearly bursting.

And what's more… whoa, my HP recovered!? Last night and this morning I'd been doing plenty of lewd things with everyone, so my HP had been running a bit low, and yet in the blink of an eye it was back to full!

This is… amazing. Pamela-san's breasts are… too amazing…

"Fufufu… Sorry. Did I get you a bit too excited?

"But I have a beloved Goshujin-sama… so without his permission, I can't do lewd things with anyone else.

"He gave me leave to let you suckle if you turned out to be a man worthy of being Patty's Master and I took a liking to you, but anything more is off-limits. Whatever you want to do to me, take it all out on Patty instead."

I'd worked myself up like an animal in heat, but Pamela-san gave my forehead a light poke…

And I nodded honestly.

R-right… she was a married woman too… Of course infidelity was off the table…

I somehow managed to suppress my full-blown excitement.

"Here, Kanan-san and Lyuka-san, please go ahead too."

"… P-pardon me… Amazing, what a sweet, lovely fragrance… mm! Delicious! I've never had anything this delicious before…!"

Kanan was deeply moved, her eyes going dreamy as she sucked away at Pamela-san's breast chuu chuu with abandon.

"I was so moved by your memoir, Pamela-san… I respect you. To be doing this with that very Pamela-san… it's an honor."

"Oh my, that makes me happy, Lyuka-chan. Plenty more where that came from, so savor as much as you like."

"Yes… ye, aah… d-delicious…"

Lyuka was always so level-headed, so seeing her go all dreamy and entranced outside of sex was a rare sight.

Pamela-san treated us thoroughly.

"Fufu, we Gyuuki, once we conceive even once, keep producing milk forever after.

"Because this milk is such a supreme delicacy, we Gyuuki are especially prized among Beastkin Garumon.

"… And among us, my milk is special. Where five-grade is the maximum, mine was awarded seven stars, in a class of its own.

"It's delicious, and it gives you energy, doesn't it?"

"… Absolutely. Thank you so much… Please give my regards to your Goshujin-sama, too."

"Fufu, I will. I'll be sure to tell him Patty's met a wonderful Master.

"I work as a journalist so we usually live apart, but even after he retired, my Goshujin-sama and I are very much in love.

"So if you're hoping to enjoy a mother-and-daughter dish with Patty, sorry to disappoint. You'd need my Goshujin-sama's approval for that… and that would be tough."

Pamela-san's Goshujin-sama, huh… what kind of person was he, I wondered?

Well, I could just ask Patty and find out, and Lyuka probably knew too… but knowing wouldn't really change anything, and there wasn't much point in hearing about an already-retired S-Class Master, was there?

Pamela-san was extremely attractive, but trying to make a move on her the moment Patty had joined my party would've been in poor taste, even by my standards. First I needed to dote on Patty as much as I could.

"Fufufu… Yes, that's the right attitude. If you get Patty pregnant, you can enjoy this milk anytime."

… Whoa… when she whispered things like that, I started wanting to get Patty pregnant right this instant…

"Of course, I had only my Goshujin-sama lavishing his love on me alone, so it took me eighty years to conceive Patty."

"Eighty years! That's a long time…"

"After he retired, he was only loving me about once a week on average… if he'd loved me thoroughly, I think it would've happened a lot sooner…"

"Then for Patty, it'll be even faster!"

"Hauu…"

She hadn't even had her first time yet, and being talked about getting pregnant had Patty going bashful.

But that meant Pamela-san had to be around 120 years old.

The talk that Garumon never aged at all… I finally truly grasped it. All the people I'd met up to now had been young in actual age too.

At 120, her skin was still youthful and supple, no different at all from 17-year-old Patty.

But maybe this milk's rich flavor came from the ripening that came with age? That was something I'd find out down the road, once Patty had given birth.

"Fufufu… Truly, I'm so glad Patty has met a good Master.

"… Stop by from time to time. Patty's Master is like a son to me.

"I'll treat you to my milk again.

"Strictly with my Goshujin-sama's approval, of course."

"… Yes, please…"

And so I welcomed Patty into my party, and got to know her mother, the S-Class NPC Pamela-san.

(2) Patty's First…

"And so, starting today, Patty is officially a part of our group."

"Patty looks forward to working with you all～!"

Clap, clap, clap…

"Well, basically nothing changes. But…

"… Patty, now that you're officially with us, there's something I'd like to do first."

"… Yes! Shaving, right!"

"Saw right through me, huh. Yep, exactly. Will you come with me?"

"Yes～!"

"Wow… so this is your shaving room, Naoto-san!"

Snap, snap snap!

Patty happily snapped away. With my hobby growing into something serious, one of the rooms at Leone's Inn had been steadily outfitted as a shaving room.

"Yep, I set it up to make pubic-hair inspection and shaving easier.

"First, when you come into this room, you take off all your clothes, get fully naked, and dampen these handkerchief scraps.

"You stick them on both nipples and your omanko. For your breasts, Patty, use these bigger handkerchiefs.

"Then once you lie down on the bed, put your legs up here."

I'd installed a leg rest on the bed, like the delivery table at an OB-GYN.

So that even long shaving sessions wouldn't be tiring.

"Yes～!"

While she got ready, I prepared the implements. Razor, soap, double-check. The soap was getting a bit low, so I'd need to buy more. Lately I'd been getting picky about the brands of soap and razor too.

Maybe I could swap them depending on hair quality, things like that.

"Patty's all ready～!"

I was ready too, and I turned around… Naked, with damp handkerchiefs covering her nipples and omanko…

Yep, picture-perfect.

The pose was plenty erotic on its own, but with the private parts covered, the eroticism didn't fluctuate too much.

In other words, the initial impact held steady throughout.

Fluctuations could cause agitation or trembling hands, so steady was good enough. I was fine being fully erect.

I went all the way up to 80% hard, then stopped there.

… Good. If I went to 100% hard, my thinking shut down, so that was no good.

This much was no problem for shaving conditions.

"… Alright, here I go."

"Y-yes～… Patty's heart is pounding～…"

I'd been observing for a while, but Patty's pubic hair was just plain thick. If I could shave this thick growth cleanly… that'd feel great.

Actually, judging from uncensored images I'd seen back when, Patty was probably the normal one and everyone else was on the thin side. Nobody had any leg or armpit hair to speak of either. If they had, shaving body hair would've been a lot easier. As it was, I'd thoroughly awakened to my shaving hobby.

No use repeating that. From here on too, for both hobby and practical use, I'd keep on shaving.

Foam, foam…

First I lathered the soap into the hair. Carefully, like dressing it in a white robe.

"Fwah… feels nice～…"

Patty's eyes went dreamy.

Good, all set. I waited a little for the soap to settle in. I could've started right away, but I wanted to be as thorough as possible.

… Alright. I took out the razor.

Shori, shori, shori…

Then, the main event: the shave. The goal was to expose smooth, slick skin. I aimed for a clean shave that left nothing all the way down to the root.

Cutting precious long pubic hair partway through was out of the question. In one go, from the root, leaving each individual hair cleanly cut at its base: that was the goal.

At its best, the moment pure white skin emerged from beneath the hair was a chills-down-the-spine kind of pleasure.

This time, it was first-time pubic hair. Thicker hair than the others I usually worked on. Lots of room for mistakes.

But… with the maximum focus I could muster, I went in.

"… Aah… d-dammit…"

But, just barely, I'd left a few stragglers I hadn't cut at the root. Frustrating…

These short stragglers were too short to use even after re-shaving.

… Wasting precious pubic hair like this, what a shameful act… I couldn't forgive myself.

Next time I won't mess up for sure. I'd gotten a feel for Patty now. The shape of her pubic bone hadn't quite registered until I'd actually put the razor to it. That was what had caused this mistake…

I still hadn't perfectly gotten the feel-difference between the razor and my own fingers.

The reason I shaved everyone else's hair well was because I'd shaved them many times and gotten used to them. I still had a lot of training ahead…

That said, sulking could come later. Calm down.

I lathered the leftover spots with soap, shori, shori… and calmly shaved them off.

"… All done."

"… Fwah… Oooh～ Amazing, it's so smooth～! Naoto-san, that was wonderful～!"

Snap, snap

Patty snapped photos of her own crotch.

"Aah… I made a little mistake today. Next time I won't let that happen, I promise."

"? Yes～"

My particular fixation was apparently lost on Patty.

After that, I bagged the shaved hair in a net, washed it to rinse off the soap…

So the too-short shaving mistakes washed away with the foam.

So sorry… But the brown hair left behind in the net had a truly beautiful luster to it. Lovely curly hair.

Once it air-dried, it would be done. After that, Lyuka would weave it into cloth.

Now I could finally make Patty's Spirit Garb. The yield from one session was on the larger side, so it ought to be done sooner than for the others.

I was looking forward to it.

"Naoto-san, you got this ready for Patty too! Thank you so much～!"

"Yeah, of course. As long as the size fits…"

"It's fine～! Perfect fit～!"

Patty wore a Lewd Garb I'd prepared specially for her for today.

This way she could wear a Lewd Garb that didn't distort the shape of her soft breasts.

The nipple and crotch areas were cut as holes, see-through string-bikini style, a Lewd Garb that fulfilled no role as clothing other than being erotic. But this was good. It really emphasized the eroticism of Patty's enormous breasts.

"… Aah… a Patty this cute and lewd is mine… it's like a dream."

"Yes, Patty feels like she's dreaming too～…"

I hugged her… Hugging felt good, but it created the dilemma of not being able to see Patty's lewd body.

Setting aside the hugging for the moment, I drew back once and savored her with my eyes first.

… Now that she was smooth, the clean cleft was clearly visible.

"Patty… can I lick you?"

"… Y-yes～…"

With no hair, I could really smoothly savor Patty's flavor with my tongue.

When I touched the tip of my tongue to Patty's hot, damp cleft… mm, aah… why did it feel so sweet to me? A floral sweet fragrance bloomed softly from my mouth all the way through my nose, making it taste sweet…

Lapping up the runny nectar that overflowed, pero, pero… I ran my tongue along Patty's omanko.

Come to think of it, I might not have licked girls' omankos all that many times.

Even though my own dick got mouth-pleasured by everyone every day…

Why was that, I wondered, and the answer was that I always ended up wanting to put my dick in here so badly I couldn't stand it.

… But, hold back.

After all, the first time should be…

I glanced over at Kanan.

Watching me lick away at Patty's omanko, Kanan gazed on with very gentle, happy eyes.

Just a little more. Once we beat Yamagata-kun, there'd be no more restrictions. The original world, the strange interferences. After that, it was just down to the two of us and our feelings.

Once Kanan and I were joined like that… next would be Adelia, and then…

Then I could keep having sex with everyone else too, couldn't I!? Such… such happiness… was it really okay?

But… it was just a bit further. Looking forward to that moment, I had to push through this last stretch.

"Haaah… Naoto-san, Naoto-san… Patty, Patty, I-I'm cumming, cumming, I'm cumming～!"

Twitch, twitch!

Patty had reached her climax.

"Patty, congratulations."

"You're cute, Patty."

"Looking forward to working with you～"

Everyone called out warmly… and Patty's welcome party rolled on in a relaxed, friendly mood.

Well, it was just the usual sex with everyone, only this time centered on Patty.

That day we got really, really fired up over oral sex.

(3) Garumon Weekly Report

"By the way, Naoto-san, did you read Patty's article?"

With that, Patty handed me the latest issue of Garumon Battle Weekly Report.

Was it really okay to receive a 1000G book for free?

"It's fine～! Since the book's so expensive, even a few sales bring in tons～!

"Mama is very rich～!

"Since you took Patty in, Mama said the Weekly, the Communications, and the Yearbook will all be delivered free to you from here on, Naoto-san～!"

"Patty, thank you so much for becoming our companion."

The one who was happiest was Lyuka.

"… I'd been kind of glossing over it, but Lyuka, do you like these three magazines, the Weekly, Communications, and Yearbook?"

"… It's not really like that."

… Why deny it? It wasn't an embarrassing book at all.

W-well, if she didn't want to admit it, that was fine…

So.

"Whoaa…"

The cover took me aback.

"A New B-Class Master Is Born! His Name Is Naoto Akai!"

In huge letters, my name.

"Patty's cover proposal got picked～!"

"It was your idea, Patty!?"

"Next month's Communications is finally the otherworld Master special～! It was the idea of getting the name of its star, Naoto-san, out there in advance～! Adopted unanimously～!"

"Whoaa… so embarrassing."

I flipped open the cover. First was the table of contents, and…

"Year 299 Autumn B-Class Swap Match Special!

Seeds Block C-Class Rank 1 Naoto Akai vs B-Class Rank 501 Arsh Lagas"

Plastered front and center, with the other three B-Class vs C-Class matches tacked on perfunctorily afterward. The Akai vs Lagas match took up a whole 8 pages, while the other three got just 1 page total combined.

In the back issues I had, B-Class swap matches were typically given a two-page spread, with four matches covered. The new B-Class Master got an interview on the next page. So at most 3 pages, 4 if two contestants won.

8 pages was unprecedented.

"Nono～ for Masters with high expectations, this is normal. Even Ursula-sama got 8 pages～"

"You mean expectations on par with the current S-Class Master Ursula? Huh…"

"Don't worry～ The other three's articles are just at the corner, so you actually have 9 pages, Naoto-san. Expectations for you are even higher than for Ursula-sama～!"

"Ehhh…? There's nothing reassuring about that…!"

Nervously, I turned the page.

"This B-Class swap match had been drawing attention among certain experts for some time.

The reason being that Duke Lasheid, second son of the S-Class Rank 4 Master Leonhardt, had declared his challenge.

Did he truly possess the strength to inherit the legend? Ticket sales were strong as people sought to find out.

… However, on the day of the B-Class swap match, Duke Lasheid was nowhere to be seen.

He had been defeated in the final match deciding the top 4 of the C-Class Tournament by this year's debut rookie Master, Naoto Akai."

… The writing was somehow stiff, in a masculine tone.

"This was really written by you, Patty?"

"Yes～. In writer mode, this is how it goes～. Ugh, having someone read it right in front of me makes Patty's heart pound a bit～."

I-is that so… So this cute Patty… that gap-moe was something else.

Reading along with the author herself made me nervous too.

"Before this season began, no one was paying attention to Naoto Akai, including in our magazine's rookie Master special.

But that's hardly surprising. He is one of the Masters who, as has lately been the talk of the town, has transferred from another world.

Since he didn't even exist in this world before the season began, almost no one knew of him.

The view that Lasheid had been a disappointment in losing to a no-name rookie Master held the majority opinion."

This was actually pretty interesting. So those around us Masters watched our every move, deciding "this guy's strong" or "this one's no good"…

"However, the moment this writer caught sight of him, that view was revised.

At the lottery drawing… the other C-Class Masters were uniformly tense. In the B-Class swap match, drawing Arsh Lagas, said to possess mid-tier B-Class strength, would mean nothing but despair. Idosen and Maizu were also seasoned C-Class Hunters. Victory against them would be brutal.

Whether they could really draw the rank 512 Yolan, said to truly be of the lowest B-Class caliber, was effectively a 1-in-4 lottery they were facing.

When this writer addressed them, they were all so on edge that they either snapped without engaging, or didn't even notice.

… Among them, Naoto alone was different. With a kind smile and a calm tone, he answered this writer's interview."

"This part originally went on praising you for about another 30 lines, Naoto-san, but most of it got cut… Patty's pouting～!"

"No, you can leave it cut, please…"

"(Please share your enthusiasm heading into the swap match.)

Naoto: 'Let's see. We don't know yet who the opponent will be, but no matter who it is, they'll be a higher-ranked B-Class Master.

Naturally, a tough fight is to be expected.

But no matter who I end up facing, I will win… Without that resolve, I wouldn't be standing here.'

He let great confidence show through behind a modest demeanor."

… Having my own remarks in print like this… embarrassing!

"And then, having drawn the worst possible opponent in the lottery, Naoto. Wishing to see how he was holding up, this writer headed for his waiting room.

What I witnessed there was Naoto chatting and laughing with his Garumon.

When this writer expressed concern about his match against Lagas…

Naoto: 'No matter who I face, I'll win for sure. As I said,' he calmly repeated his earlier statement.

It was no bluff born of optimism that he wouldn't be matched against Lagas, but true confidence, something this dull-witted writer only belatedly realized, and so I apologized for my rudeness."

"Patty really is so sorry about that time～…"

"No, no, I'm the one who should apologize, really…"

Back then, I'd never even dreamed I'd end up reading Patty's writing alongside her, snuggled up like this…

"Then the match began. Naoto's performance was so splendid that I find it frustrating not to be able to depict the scene in vivid detail.

The first thing that struck one was the beauty of the Garumon he led.

Kanan Kazami, Adelia, Yuria.

It is regrettable that I cannot showcase the splendid beauty of these lovely yet beautiful Garumon battling in their erotic, beautiful Spirit Garbs."

Since I hadn't authorized photos of them in their Spirit Garbs, photos of them in regular clothes taken afterward had been used instead.

The combat-scene photos were all obscured by the effects of their skills.

… I'd probably be hit with resentful cries of "Show us those three in their Spirit Garbs!"

"These three are without a doubt UR-Class. A lineup that could rival even an S-Class Master's.

However, having a rookie Master in his debut year acquire only UR-Class Garumon presents its own problems. That is the difficulty of training UR-Class Garumon.

Naoto would be challenging Lagas, who had high LV, while still at low LV. Naturally, Naoto's disadvantage was anticipated.

… But that wasn't how things actually played out. Skillful coordination, combinations of techniques, and a difference in technique itself.

Which one was the higher-ranked Master became unclear.

So this writer thought.

However, in the first round he lost narrowly to the elite party led by Edna, one of the core members of Lagas's team.

The next to enter the field were Leone, Setsuna Akai, and Lyuka."

"Have we managed to convey the beauty and loveliness of these three through photos as well? It is doubly regrettable that we cannot show their beautiful, erotic figures battling in Spirit Garbs."

Those three also got post-shoot photos in regular clothes.

"The one to take note of is Leone. The only LV50 in his lineup. No one had known that Naoto Akai held this Garumon. By this point, those who could see understood. Lasheid had not been weak after all. Despite that, Naoto Akai had won by holding strength in reserve in preparation for the Lagas match.

Leone wielded overwhelming power as if unleashed.

Naoto Akai, who had been fighting on equal footing or better with a force outclassed in LV, when freed from the LV disadvantage, demonstrated such tremendous strength that he won an overwhelming victory over Lagas, said to be effectively mid-tier B-Class.

Let us all hold great expectations for the future activities of this talented new B-Class Master."

That was the gist.

Trivial side note, but the other C-Class Masters' articles were just a few lines tucked into the corner of the last page of my article. Result: all three lost.

This season, I was the only one promoted to B-Class. I wondered what that 2nd-place guy who'd been so happy was up to.

That alone wouldn't fill 8 pages, but the rest was beautiful portrait photos of the 6 women who'd appeared in battle.

Kanan Kazami, Adelia, Yuria, Leone, Setsuna Akai, Lyuka, photographed in non-erotic, ordinary clothes, struck in normal, lovely poses.

That alone was enough to put gravure idols to shame in beauty. Well, it didn't reach the real thing, but it was well shot.

This was wonderful… a perma-keepsake edition.

That said, having myself talked up so passionately in the main text was more embarrassing than something to be proud of.

… Hmm, I'd had calculating thoughts like "in this world I might get to be the celebrated one too," but now that it had actually taken shape, it turned out more embarrassing than I'd expected.

… But there was also a real sense of pride mixed in.

"Ahaha… honestly, this is pretty embarrassing. But, it's a good article, isn't it?

"… Thank you, Patty."

"Yes! Patty will keep writing more and more articles about your activities, Naoto-san～! Please look forward to it!"

Patty looked very proud, and I thought maybe I could let myself feel a bit more confident too.
