Lunch comes and we fatten up with some not-shish-kebab with not-bell-pepper, not-tomato, not-onion, and pieces of dragolite and actual cow meat.

After that, I continue teaching Aoi how to move her soul around the same way that I do. Since she doesn't have a fully-fledged system yet, I can't just give her points so she could learn how to press the internal "button" inside her mind/soul. Maybe I should start calling that "soul-space."

Aoi stays curled in my lap while I play around with my soul and [Materialization], which is fine by me. She also requests a finger from me so she can draw blood and then keeps sucking on it so the wound never clots, which is also fine by me. I do go a little ahead of the caravan so that I don't get any weird looks when the others see Aoi -.

I occasionally cast [Regeneration] on myself to replenish the lost blood, but most of the time I keep it on Ted and Suzy so they can grow their skeletons. Actual bones would be much faster to regrow; it's because they are composed of steel that this regrowth is slowed down by quite a lot.

Aoi is having problems with moving her soul, but at least it seems that [Materialization] won't be a huge hurdle for her.

"Wolfy, give me [Sense Soul] for a moment," Alissa asks.

"Sure."

I patiently wait for her to finish her analysis.

"Your blood is speeding along Aoi's soul changes," she says.

Through [Bind], I immediately stop Aoi from biting my finger.

"Hehehe, sorry," she says in my head.

"I know you're not," I say and poke her soul, making her wince. Then I take my finger out of her mouth -.

"Why do you wish to become, humanoid?" Ted suddenly asks.

Aoi turns to him and taps a claw on her snout. "Hm… the system is good; humanoid society is more fun than, monster society; making lots of strong babies with, Wolfy will be fun; the Humanoid Gods are better, than the Monster King; Wolfy's cheat will also be very, good for me."

Ted turns his fluffy face towards me and I swear his beady black eyes shine. "Make me into a woman," he says.

"Cast [Bind] on us, too," Suzy asks immediately after.

"Well, [Bind] will have to wait, the other girls come first," I say.

"Yes," Suzy says and nods.

"Wait… why do you want to be a woman?" I ask Ted.

"To receive your 'cheat,'" he says with a nod.

I cringe. "That would require me to make love to you."

"Make love to me."

Alissa laughs and I cough and chuckle.

"We've already talked about this…" I say and look away from his seemingly intense stare.

"Make us attractive, that's our wish."

"To serve you better," Suzy says.

"To serve you better," Ted repeats.

"I've already said that I don't wish to make you attractive to reduce my mental load."

"Having the system will be, very beneficial," Ted says.

"Lot of ease in learning, and controlling our own, spells," Suzy says.

"You do not wish to treat us, like toys."

"But we are toys."

"You…" I start but my motivation dies inside of me.

I use the [Bind] with Hana to bring Ciel over to us.

"What is it, Wolfy?"

"The golems want to be like Aoi and receive the system, and then also receive my cheat."

I look at her and her wide eyes stare at me, then at the golems, then at Aoi, then at me again, then the golems, then Aoi, then the golems, then finally stops on me.

"My priestess training didn't prepare me for this," she finally says.

"We have no feelings, only a will, a wish," Ted says.

"We are your toys, play with us," Suzy pleads.

Ciel frowns, Alissa looks conflicted, and Aoi sees nothing wrong with this situation.

"What about you?" I ask Gify on my shoulder.

"Gih."

He thinks that my moral conundrum is respectable, but he personally doesn't see a problem. He does what he wants and he has few responsibilities, so he doesn't have the need to think as deeply as I do. He knows this, so he doesn't think that his perspective would be useful.

His mind is so fundamentally different that, for him, having servants wouldn't really be useful, let alone having sex toys, which he would have zero need for (and I'm thankful for that). He follows us and enjoys eating our food, but he doesn't need any of that. His attachment to me is merely because he thinks that my life is amusing. So, for him, he doesn't fully understand my problem enough to advise me responsibly.

My brain hurts a little at the amount of information contained in that single chirp.

"You're surprisingly smart," I say and receive a pinch on my cheek. "Anyway, I'm not sure if the benefits are worth the cost. What would the Gods think of using a quasi-humanoid as a sex toy, even if they wish for it?"

Ciel answers, "Slavery is either voluntary or forced upon criminals. You basically creating subservient life is… a gray area. We'll only find the answer to your doubts if we explore this situation further."

-. "Technically, I'm not creating 'life' since I'm only creating pseudo-elementals, but if I start to give them the gift of the system, then I'm creating another humanoid race, right?"

"I think that's correct, but I'm not sure if the Gods differentiate between humanoids created by you and humanoids created by the God of Creation."

"Can they choose not to give the golems the system?"

She shrugs and sighs. "Unknown."

I pat Aoi's head and play with her scales, lightly tickling her. "I wish I could talk to the Gods directly and ask what they think about it."

Ciel also becomes conflicted like Alissa as she says, "There are the Messages, but we'll never know if we are going to receive one until it comes."

"Since it seems hard for the Gods to send Messages, then annoying them until they send one also doesn't seem like a good idea," I say and feel another sigh coming on.

We all go silent and I ruminate a little more on the issue. My mind gets so clouded and fuzzy with conflicting thoughts -.

I break the kiss soon after; I'm not yet ready to reveal our relationship to the rest of the caravan.

With my mind now clear, I laugh and say, "This situation is playing with my weak spot. I value agency in a person's actions, I would only stop someone if I thought they were about to hurt themselves too much.

"The line of what I consider 'too much' is really far, and that is why I can accept Alissa, Lina, and Hana's love and slavery even with my Earth morals. I value their agency and their choices in loving me.

"But I don't know how much agency the golems really have. I don't even know how far into the 'too much harm' their request would even land us."

"What actual harm would, befall us?" Ted asks.

"It could hurt my feelings," I answer in a soft voice. "I would get attached to both of you and try to humanize you, only to be heartbroken when I eventually realize that you aren't."

"But we are trying to become, more like humanoids," Suzy says.

"That doesn't mean that you'll succeed."

"And Aoi will? Why?" Ted asks.

I know their gazes have no emotion to them, but the way they don't move while they wait for my answer is a little creepy.

"Because she's different. Her brain is closer to a humanoid's than either of you, and I don't know how to make your brain closer to hers without copying it over yours and deleting your personalities. Not to mention the psychological consequences of putting her mind in your bodies. What if she feels pain or agony from not even being able to breathe?"

Both golems go quiet and lower their heads.

"I cannot evaluate the, pros and cons," Ted says.

"Me too," Suzy says.

I turn to Alissa and Ciel and ask, "What do you two think?"

Alissa answers first, "I know that you have a lot on your mind, so I can't fully understand your perspective, but I would try to give them the system and also talk to the Gods. This is too much power to let it remain unused."

Ciel answers next, "First, I would leave it for later, for when you actually have room in your [Bind] for them. Then, I would dive into the teachings of the Gods in search of some guidance about this. I know the basics, but I was mostly just a healer in the temple and there's a lot more depth to the teachings to understand."

"Hana would say 'just do it,'" Alissa says with a smirk.

"Roxanne would say 'sounds too bothersome,'" I say and smirk too.

"Lina would definitely do it, though I've been trying to get her to be more pious," Ciel says.

"We need religion classes," I say.

"And Andraste classes. You've abandoned your grammar lessons," Ciel says and sends me a glare. I smile apologetically but don't answer. Then she continues, "If you take off your cheat, then Aoi knows how to read better than you do."

"Woo! I'm smarter than Wolfy!" Aoi exclaims and her nostrils glow for a moment.

"Har, har, very funny," I say in a flat tone.

We go quiet again for a while and I return to casting [Regeneration] on the golems.

"I think that I'll take Ciel's advice. I need to know more about what creating life means to the Gods," I say.

Ciel puffs up her chest and fidgets with a wide smile on her face, barely containing her pride.

The luminescent plants start to disappear from the trees, another sign that the High Forest is coming to an end.

When dusk comes, Alissa sniffs the air and smiles. "It's salty," she says.

"I can't feel it yet," I say.

Her tail wags slowly. "I've never seen the sea in person before, only in paintings. I'm getting excited!"

"Me too, I would love to go to the beach and sunbathe," Ciel says.

"The beach is boring," Ted says.

The girls turn to me with questioning eyes.

I smile wryly and say, "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere."

"That's a reference," Suzy says.

I blink a few times in surprise. "Have you two been scanning my memories?"

"Yes," they say in unison.

"The way they alternate who speaks is kind of creepy," Roxanne says.

"We are very similar," Ted says.

"So similar that you could, consider us twins," Suzy says.

"Why does Ted always speak first?" Roxanne asks.

"I was born first," he answers.

Roxanne uses her tail to readjust her glasses. "Why does it matter who was born first?"

"It doesn't," Suzy says.

"But it's a simple reason to use to, base our decisions on," Ted says.

"Otherwise we would speak in, unison."

"And that would make it more, difficult to hear us."

Roxanne turns to me and asks, "Is that really how you think?"

"Kind of," I answer and smile wryly. "They need a reason to do anything, but there isn't any to help choose who speaks first and the alternative is undesirable. So, they chose the simplest reason to organize their speaking order: who was born first."

Roxanne does not look convinced. "But why split the talking this way? Why not just have one talk all the time?"

"Talking is magic practice," Ted says.

"Talking helps us practice body control," Suzy says.

"It's stimulation for us."

"And not participating would be, unfair."

"Do you need stimulation?" I ask.

"Not necessary, but desired," Ted answers.

"Why?"

"No stimulation means we are, useless," Suzy answers.

Ciel snatches Ted from my lap. "You'll never be useless. You'll always be my cuddly source of happiness."

"I… appreciate being appreciated," Ted says.

Oh? Is that some progress that I'm seeing?

Ciel squeaks and hugs him tighter.

Roxanne takes Suzy, but the cuddling session ends soon after because we stop for the day and make camp.

Lina comes back from the carriage quite happy after spending most of the day talking to Oura. More like geeking over some stories, from what I've grasped from their conversation.

I move her thin waist up and down with my hands while she tells me about her day amid moans and her insides massage my dick.

The golems float near the edge of the tub so they won't get caught in the waves that we're making. They've also learned some courtesy and keep their eyes away from us. Though I'm almost certain Roxanne would enjoy being watched by them.

After dinner, I practice some jumps with [Telekinesis] and [Acrobatics]. It seems to help me reduce the dizziness while spinning around and jumping.

One thing that's advantageous about fighting with my feet above my head is that the enemy only has the reach to attack my face and arms. The downside is that it makes me dizzy and uncomfortable pretty fast because of all the blood rushing to my brain. [Acrobatics] helps a little with that, but it doesn't change the laws of physics.

I think that I should keep at least five points in [Acrobatics] while fighting. It seems that this number has the best balance of cost versus benefit to help with the dizziness from jumping around, though I haven't developed my style very deeply yet. Also, I need to take almost all of my points out of [Mana Recovery] to fit it in my build.

It's a shame, but fighting with too many people near us doesn't give a lot of EXP for leveling up. The EXP is divided based on proximity, so the caravan guards certainly leveled up, but we didn't.

I come back and Alissa hands me a cup of Tonsel (the not-lemon) juice loaded with sugar that we all guiltily drink. It feels like we just drank a silver coin.

Then I take my clothes off and Aoi's eyes seem to be glued to my body. They scan every inch of me as I apply [Clean] on myself.

"Interested?" Alissa asks.

Their eyes meet and some strong feelings of desire escape through their [Bind]s. Alissa averts her eyes almost immediately and the feeling fades from both of them.

"I think she's ready, Wolfy," Alissa says.

"Hm…?" I hum, confused at how she reached that conclusion.

"Her 'breeder-type charm' is affecting me." She smiles and blushes slightly.

"What? How? But you're a woman," Ciel says, and approaches Aoi. She grabs her and looks deep into her eyes. "I feel nothing."

"I'm more sensitive to 'breeder-types,'" Alissa says and smiles shyly. "I think that Hana might feel it too and our love for her might be increasing the effect."

Lina's Trivia: rarely, breeder-type monsters can use their "charm" to make their victims more agreeable to them, similar to Roxanne's succubus "charm." It's generally seen in the smarter and less rape-y monsters, so it's highly unlikely that goblins or orcs will ever "charm" someone to sleep with them.

"Her 'Charisma' should be quite high," Lina says.

Hana grabs Aoi's face and stares into her eyes. My fiery dragonkin gets so excited that she even makes me get a boner as her feelings flood into my soul space through the [Bind]. Her yellow eyes open inside my mind.

"Hana… control yourself…" I plead.

"Oh. Sorry, Wolfy…" She looks away from Aoi and my soul space returns to normal, though now I have an annoying boner.

Klein and Roxanne remain quiet, their eyes spell excitement as they imagine me on top of my little blue dragon.

Aoi finally looks at me and I feel a chill. As if the rest of the world was being tuned out, all I see and hear is Aoi. Her intense stare pierces my heart and makes my erect penis twitch.

The effect starts to fade, but the initial feeling is still there. I want Aoi.

She looks away and the rest of her "charm" fades, leaving me again with an awkward boner.

She looks at me again and more blood is pumped downstairs.

She looks away again and the awkwardness comes back.

She turns to me again with a shit-eating grin and I grab her head, forcing her to keep facing me.

"You really don't want to tease me like this," I say through gritted teeth.

"Oh? What are you going to do?" She asks and bats her surprisingly feminine eyelashes repeatedly.

"What do you mean 'surprisingly' feminine?" She asks and smokes escapes her nostrils.

"I, uh… bah! You're trying to misdirect me! Get out of my head!" I exclaim and grip her head harder.

She giggles and I feel her teeth growing inside my soul space. I grab her blanket and cover it with my own "blanket," then I wish with all of my strength to cut her off from my thoughts.

"Nooo! I can't hear it anymore!" She complains in a cutesy voice and struggles dramatically against my grip.

She's like a chipmunk, her small-size voice is just so cute, but her large-size voice…

I look around and teasingly say, "Have I made a mistake by marrying all of you? You all seem to enjoy teasing me someway or somehow."

"I don't," Ciel says immediately.

Lina seems conflicted while the rest grin, even Gify, who is the one with the biggest, most warped grin.

"That's the spice of life," Roxanne says with a soft and dramatic voice.

Aoi calms down and increases in size, towering over me. Her claws push my shoulder down and she gets on top of me.

"I want you now, Wolfy," she says in her more mature and sexy double-voice.

My dick responds again and this time, she doesn't look away.

She lowers her hips and my tip touches a hard part of her.

She grins and shows me her sharp and pointy fangs. A frightening grin that only makes me more excited.

The hard part moves and the way is open again. She lowers her hips further and my dick is wrapped in a very warm and slick womb.

"Ah…" She moans in an even more sexual voice.

She lowers herself all the way down and her entrance reaches the base of my cock. I breathe in deeply as her tight womb slides around my head.

"Congratulations! You're not a virgin anymore, Aoi," Hana says and they all clap.

"Virginity means nothing until he, gives me an egg!" Aoi growls and approaches her face to mine. She glances at my Ring of Fertility and says, "You don't want a child now, right?"

I shake my head.

"Then I'll remain a 'virgin' for, you. You're the only one, that I want."

I grab her arms that are still holding me down and squeeze them tight. Her blue scales tinkle as they are pressured against one another.

She takes the hint and lowers her face to mine. Her long tongue invades my mouth and wraps around my own.

She moves her hips up and a strong jolt of pleasure almost makes me moan. Then she slams her hips down and this time the moan escapes me.

"I feel like she's fucking him," Roxanne comments.

"That's even better," Alissa says and makes herself comfortable on the bed. She doesn't feel like masturbating and only savors the sight.

Aoi pumps her hips up and down. Her womb feels like it's deliberately gripping my whole member.

"Holy shit… this feels amazing, and different," I say to Alissa through [Bind].

"Better than mine?" I feel a hint of danger in her voice.

"No… just, uh, just different."

"Uh, huh."

I share my feelings with Hana and Alissa and they moan in satisfaction.

Aoi's "charm" is nothing but a candle to Roxanne's spotlight, but I let it intoxicate me all the same.

As the poison flows through my veins, a new feeling wells up inside me: anger. Aoi is on top of me, she's dictating the pace, she's controlling the mating, she's on top of me, she's the one fucking me.

My pride says that I should fuck her from behind, but now it's too late; her claws are already squeezing my shoulders and her "Strength" is likely much higher than mine.

I squeeze her arms tighter and start moving my hips, slamming myself against her. I grimace in anger and control myself to not bite her tongue off.

She notices it and her smug glee passes through the [Bind].

"Today, you are my toy, Wolfy," she says in my soul space.

I cum inside her and the pleasure makes her orgasm, too.

"I'll breed you and make you birth hundreds of eggs!" I shoot back.

"Yes! Make me yours! Breed me like the monster that I am!"

I spread my soul out through my dick and both of us enter a continuous orgasm. I constantly cum and fill her up.

She spreads her wings and wraps them around me. Her legs wrap around my waist and she forces my dick to stay deep inside her while I fill her long womb, which squeezes around my shaft and stops any cum from overflowing, sealing the way like a plug.

The pleasure and anger eventually fade, and Aoi's satisfaction replaces both feelings.

We stop kissing one another and she lays her large scaly head beside my cheek. Her arms wrap around my shoulders and she hugs me tight; I'm completely wrapped by her now.

My dick is still being slowly tugged and my soul is in contact with both her womb and vagina. We close our eyes and enjoy the presence of each other. I cum again inside her and she giggles, enjoying being filled even more.

Normally, the male dragon would wrap around the female and stay inside her to ensure fertilization. This time, Aoi merely wants to enjoy my presence and pretend that I'm the one fertilizing her.

"I'll give you many eggs," I whisper to her.

"I want one for each of the, wives," she says.

"What?"

Her voice is like a soft and sensual tickle in my ears. "Teach them [Bind] and have them, feel the same as I do. To be connected so deeply, that I can't imagine being without, you."

I hold back a few tears and hug her tight. Her scales are ticklish, but they are also very comfortable right now.

After orgasming inside her three more times, she finally unwraps from me and allows Hana, Lina, and Alissa to clean her.
