Case 164: The days go by.

Case 164: The days go by.

BEEP—!

BEEP—!

Welp, the road is congested again. It's a pretty accurate representation of a modern city, I'd say.

''Hah...'' I breathe out lightly after taking a sip of my favorite iced tea.

''Purr...''

So fucking cute, I swear. The catgirl purring on my lap, I mean. I heard that being in the vicinity of a cat makes you more relaxed, I guess that is true.

Today, the sun is exceptionally mild and warm, so Anna is currently sunbathing with me near the window. Behind me, the other four fellow contestants of this trial are gaming together, on their laptops. In addition to becoming quite famous as hunters right now, we're also obscenely rich, so a few high-end gaming laptops are nothing.

Needless to say, Emy and Liana are dominating the FPS game scene because of their elf buff, while Tina is good at rhythm games, and Sariel is an all-rounder. Anna prefers sleeping on my lap, so here she is.

''...''

Thinking back, it has been a while since we came here. Like what, two months?

Although I certainly love modern conveniences, and living with my original parents is amazing, I can't help but miss my elf parents. Well, we're on our way there, I suppose.

''Hey, redhead, you go to B-''

''Ack...!''

''How the hell did you die...?!''

''I didn't know a guy was camping there...!''

''Calm down, we got this.''

''Oh, I got the bomb.''

Over the last two months, we've made good progress in our abilities.

Liana, Emy, and Anna are all quite better at fighting now, after getting used to having the [Heart of Fire]. Tina's singing is now literally on par with professional singers, and I feel a bit 'enchanted' when hearing it as well, a good sign, of course. Not to mention Emy, her cooking is getting better and better by the day, it's really promising.

For me... Well, I've been growing together with Sariel. To up both of our games, she would normally teach me how to increase my firepower with magic, and I would teach her the ways of the guns.

I've been spending most of my training time with her, actually. Outside of being an insatiable monster of lust, like any other futa, she is usually pretty serious when teaching me. Though...

''Phew...'' I take another sip of the iced tea to cool my head.

I'm thinking like this, if I get them to spend the next decade or so together to tighten their relationships even more, and I make them learn polymorph to eliminate some cocks, won't I be able to orchestrate a huge orgy where everyone is fucking each other?

That's my dream right now. I'll make it happen.

Aside from that though.

''...Are you nervous?'' I ask quietly.

''I'll be lying if I say no.'' Emy replies.

''You got this.'' I hug her waist tighter.

''Mhm.''

It has been a little over three months since we came here, and what do you know, we are beginning to feel divine energy growing in our bodies.

In Eva's words—

'It means that you have reached a certain mastery in cultivating your talent. Congratulations.'

We're actually seeing progress. That is why we decided to ramp up our speed from now on, less gaming, less procrastinating, more serious training, more serious sex.

No, like, seriously, they're actually trying their best to dump as much cum on me as possible, which is a good thing, drinking cups of that thick liquid has become my routine now.

Regardless, Emy will participate in a cooking competition soon, and right after that, Tina is going to an idol audition as well. The rest of us will just be finding harder gates to clear as usual.

Now, this is the first time Emy will bring her talent to a competition, so she's nervous, and as her future wife, I need to support her.

''I'll go there to cheer you.'' I smile at the white-haired beauty. ''If you win, I'll give you something special.''

''It is a child?'' She shoots back.

''Do you want a child? I can birth one for you.''

I'm serious. If she wants one, I'll deliver.

''...No. I'm joking.''

''I see. Look forward to my prize, then.''

''I'm motivated now.'' Emy flashes a rare soft smile.

I've been studying the way of the clones diligently, and I think I might be able to double myself very soon. Heheheh...
