Chapter 483

As the furnace crackled and blazed, Yuder's once-hazy mind gradually cleared.

Lifting his sweat-soaked eyelids, Yuder took a deep breath, exhaling the remnants of lingering pleasure that still resided in the pit of his stomach. While this didn't completely remove the sensation from his lower half, it definitely subdued the heat to some extent.

"Aren't you thirsty?"

The man embracing Yuder while they lay face to face softly asked.

"...Yes."

As he replied, a wave of tension unconsciously traveled down to his lower body. Concurrently, a snug and tingling sensation coursed from the point where they remained connected. Their hastily discarded clothes lay in a heap, thrown aside after what felt like at least three rounds, but the object between his legs felt as unyielding as ever—never once losing its vitality.

The moment he felt that sensation, his inner lips grew moist again and some part deep within him tingled with greedy yearning. His body, which had so passionately quenched its thirst only moments ago, still seemed insatiable, despite his muscles feeling lax now.

Recognizing that Yuder was experiencing this, Kishiar began to gently move while holding him closer. It wasn't an intense movement that would make everything soaked like before; it was a leisurely motion, just enough to scratch where it itched.

"Ah..."

Swaying his hips to match the movement, Yuder thought about how much his body seemed to have changed in just a few days. The sensation was overwhelming the first time, but each subsequent experience seemed to become denser.

At first, the immense emotions and sensations felt overwhelming to the point that everything else became secondary. Now, however, he was growing accustomed to this peculiar internal sensation. His acceptance also deepened, so much so that they had been deeply connected earlier.

But now, every motion was gentle, making the sensations smoother and calmer. It felt as if he was submerged in comfortably warm water, a pleasant feeling that stimulated his lower body and back in a rhythmic pattern before fading away.

He felt like he could easily drift off to sleep in this state.

"Soon the vacation will be over," came the voice from above him.

Yuder lifted his head. Kishiar playfully penetrated deeper as he spoke.

"For the first time in my life, I dread the end of a holiday. Even more so because I know our time for this will lessen once we return to our daily lives."

"..."

Yuder felt no different. He had never lamented the end of a vacation or holiday in his previous life, but hearing those words now filled him with an odd sense of regret.

"After the vacation ends, this place will become chaotic again. We'll have to deal with matters we've temporarily put off, and moreover..."

Pausing briefly, Kishiar finally spoke as he lowered his hips slowly.

"We'll find out how far we can go with this new key of change we hold. Are you okay with that?"

The key of change. Its meaning was clear, without needing to be questioned.

Kishiar was signaling to Yuder his intention to carry out the very reason he had told the Emperor he had no plans to suppress the rumors—people still knew nothing about the Awakeners, and even less about those who had manifested second gender.

It was a ridiculous affair, but after the trial notes of Bertrail Shand Apeto's horrifying experiments had been widely disseminated, the public's awareness of individuals with second gender had somewhat increased compared to their past lives. However, that was all it amounted to.

Those who had manifested their second gender had long been treated like a thorn in the public's side, even in his previous life. The heat cycles they experienced, the changes in their scent, and even the objects of their affection were all difficult to reveal naturally. Within the Cavalry, where many individuals with second gender were present, such traits were accepted more openly; but outside, it was a different story altogether. Even Yuder's power could not easily change this.

Yet, there was still an opportunity to enact change in this regard. The best way was for influential individuals to openly reveal themselves and inform the public about their natures.

And Kishiar La Orr had resolved to do precisely that.

‘Ridiculously risky,’ he thought.

No one who cared about Kishiar would welcome this. Even his fellow Cavalry comrades might not.

The pretend relationships in the West had been enjoyable because everyone knew they were false. But if this became a reality, everyone would be disconcerted. Now he had to face not only the entire Empire but also the whole continent.

The only one who seemed pleased to see Yuder was the young man, Jimmy.

"Yuder! Where were you the entire vacation? I went to look for you in your room several times but you weren't there, so we just had fun amongst ourselves!"

"Sorry. I had some matters to attend to."

"What matters? You should've taken me with you."

"Um... it wasn't the kind of thing to involve others in."

While the boy tilted his head in confusion, not grasping the hidden meaning in Yuder's words, other colleagues who were close to Yuder appeared. There was Gakane, who looked like a withered rose possibly due to a hangover; Steiber, whose complexion seemed bright, suggesting he had a pleasant time with family; and also Ever and Kanna, who greeted Yuder in unison.

"Yuder! Did you have a good rest?"

"Uh, Yuder. Oh, hello."

Unlike the cheerful greeting from Ever, Kanna seemed to have trouble meeting Yuder's eyes. Jimmy looked puzzled as he watched Kanna hurry away, hobbling awkwardly.

"Why did Kanna act like that? Is she unwell?"

"Who knows..."

"Gosh, it’s not the manifestation of second gender, is it?"

"That's unlikely. If she keeps acting like this, I'll go ask her later. Don’t worry."

"Alright..."

"Thank you, everyone, for assembling so promptly."

Just then, Kishiar made his appearance and began speaking, drawing the attention of all the members. Jimmy and Yuder's conversation came to an abrupt halt.

"Did everyone have a good vacation?"

"Yes!"

"I see some faces that seem like they wanted more time off."

"Heh heh heh..."

An awkward laughter rippled through the ranks of the Cavalry members.
