The Seed Thief Vol. 2 Chapter 5.3

She had seen them before. Human women walking around with full bellies.

If she had encountered animals more often, it would have been easier for her to realize that a full belly indicated pregnancy. However, due to Lulu’s magic and the constant presence of the wandering golem and scarecrow, except for severely hungry animals, none of them came near Lulu’s house.

“So, everyone grows seeds inside their bellies?”

“That’s correct.”

“T-then, can I do it too?”

“Of course.”

Ervandas’s hand reached the entrance he had frequented countless times during the night.

“If I plant my seed in here, it will grow.”

“Then hurry up and plant it inside!”

Ervandas coughed in vain for a moment. He had thought he had grown accustomed to Lulu’s brusque way of speaking. No matter how crazy he was about her, hearing such a direct request to fill inside her made his remaining sanity feel embarrassed.

“Do you really want me to do that?”

Lulu nodded vigorously at Ervandas’s question.

“But it will be difficult at the moment.”

“What do you want, Er? I’ll get it all for you! If you want beautiful ores, I’ll dig them all up. If you want lots of vegetables from the garden, I’ll always enchant them. And if you want books, you can have as many as you desire!”

Lulu hastily listed things she could offer. What did humans like? The old woman living at the edge of the village always asked her for beautiful colored ores. At least, it held value for the people in the village. Lulu vowed to dig up ores even if it meant falling off a cliff and dying.

“That’s not what I want.”

“Then what?”

Once again, fear gripped her. What would Er ask for? There was nothing more valuable in this house than those things.

Ervandas gently placed his lips on the eyes that were beginning to be tinged with disappointment.

“I think I should explain to you what it’s like to have a child, and the weight that comes with having your own, and among humans, there’s a ritual for those who want to make children together.”

“A ceremony?”

Lulu recalled the ceremonies of witches she had read about in books. Did she have to draw a huge magic circle at a designated day and time and light a fire? It was said that having a black cat would be even better, but were there any black cats in the forest? No, more importantly, when would the nearest solar and lunar eclipses happen?

Seeing Lulu’s expression grow serious, Ervandas chuckled and rubbed his thumb over the wrinkles between her brows.

“I don’t know what spooky ideas you’re having, but I’ll take care of the preparations, so don’t worry about it. And right now, there’s something else we need to do first.”

Ervandas reached out to the nearby shelf. There, thanks to Lulu bringing it every day for him to bathe, was a soap bar that had worn down to the size of a fingernail.

Ervandas lathered it up and then massaged the foam onto Lulu’s shoulder.  As he pressed on her tense muscles, strained from torment, a moan of pain and pleasure escaped her mouth.

“Let’s wash up first.”

Ervandas hugged Lulu tightly as she tried to escape from his arms, and kissed her cheek.

“It’s empty.”

Lulu sat on the stairs, chin on her hand, gazing at the now completely vacant underground space.

After discovering the magic room, Ervandas spent several days diligently cleaning it out. He had said that objects left underground for too long would rot, but judging the way he tossed everything under the sun, it seemed that he didn’t like what was in there.

Either that, or he hated Homunculus.

When he removed all the items from the magic room, he asked Lulu, “Is this also related to Homunculus production?” and then threw everything related to it, as if saying, ‘Don’t even think about making homunculus again.’

‘Did he ever fight against Homunculus before?’

Lulu didn’t stop Ervandas from disposing of all the materials. Hadn’t he promised an alternative to Homunculus?

‘To give me a child.’

Lulu touched her belly. Although she had heard the explanation from Er, she couldn’t quite believe that a baby would grow here.

He had asked her to wait as there were preparations to be made before creating a child. Lulu had offered to help, but he insisted on doing it himself, stating that there was nothing for her to do.

‘I’m not sure what needs to be prepared, but I hope it can be done quickly.’

Lulu had always longed for someone to become her family. So, ever since he made the promise, Lulu clung to Ervandas day after day, pestering him.

“Sprinkle the seeds! Please sprinkle them!”

“No, wait…”

“Hurry! Quickly! I’ll lift my skirt, so plant them quickly…”

“Stop! Stop talking!”

Ervandas covered Lulu’s mouth, her words frightened him. However, Lulu didn’t give up. Whenever she had the chance, she held onto his neck and begged him to plant the seeds quickly.

“Please stop!”

Eventually, Ervandas yelled, unable to bear it any longer. Seeing Lulu shrink in response, thinking he was angry, he hastily lowered his voice and spoke in his usual tender tone.

“I’m the one who wants to do it right now. But there’s something I need to prepare, so please wait a while.”

Then, he bowed his head and nibbled on Lulu’s earlobe, a spot he’d targeted at every opportunity since he knew it was her weak spot.

Every time he did, Lulu moaned. Her body grew weak and she felt her lower body being lifted upward. Before she knew it, she was in his arms.

He placed her limp body on the bed and turned to flee. Lulu quickly grabbed the hem of his robe and said,

“Shall I suck it?”

“……!”

At that, he jumped up, almost touching the ceiling. He looked like he wanted to shout something, but his voice wouldn’t come out.

“Why? You liked it.”

“Why? You liked it.”

It wasn’t just her mouth. Her hands, her breasts, her stomach, her ass, and even between her thighs. He liked every inch of her body.

And Lulu loved his reactions, especially the moans he made whenever she touched him. His flushed face and hot breath. The way his eyes would roll as if he didn’t know what to do, and then, when their gazes met, he would pounce on her like a predator.

Every time Lulu was swallowed by Ervandas, she would occasionally bite his neck, saying she wanted to have her turn as well.

“Kk!”

Upon that, Ervandas’s face quickly turned red. His breathing became rough. Amused, Lulu climbed on top of him and sucked every inch of his body. Occasionally, she would even bite and leave small bite marks on his skin.

Seeing those marks filled Lulu with a strange sense of satisfaction. It was like writing her name on something she considered hers, evidence of possession. Thanks to that, Lulu understood why Ervandas would leave marks on her skin. Well, she would leave it more on him.

“Lulu, stop…”

“No, I won’t. Stay still. If you move even a little, I won’t do it anymore. We’ll sleep separately too.”

Now Lulu was well aware that he desperately wanted to intertwine their bodies. Furthermore, he never wanted to separate from her. So, when she firmly stated that they wouldn’t fall asleep together, Ervandas’s face crumbled as if the sky had collapsed.

The threat worked effectively, and Ervandas lost his will to resist. Thanks to that, Lulu could freely explore his body. Every time her lips touched him, Ervandas would moan in pleasure. As Lulu descended further, she would face the ugly flesh that tormented her every night.

Because Ervandas dutifully followed her request not to move, his lower region wriggled and twitched on its own accord without a hand holding it.

Though she saw it frequently, Lulu couldn’t help but admire the size and color every time she laid eyes on it.

‘Still, it’s too big.’

Lulu grabbed the pillar with both hands.

“Oops!”

“Sorry, did I grip it too hard?”

“No, it’s not that… it’s just…”

Ervandas tried to say something more but ended up covering his face with both hands, sealing his lips. As he remained silent, Lulu resumed moving however she wanted.

Now, she had some idea of how to handle what lay beneath. Her hands glided down the pillar, causing the tip of his cock to salivate.

Her nails, now trimmed short, gently scratched along the prominent vein. A groan escaped from beneath Ervandas’ hands covering his face. At the same time, a lump formed on his throat.

Not missing Ervandas’s reaction, Lulu pondered for a moment before bringing her face closer to his.

“Phew.”

As Lulu blew a light breath, the object in her hand twitched like a creature with a will.

Time to tease it some more.

Finding pleasure in this act itself, Lulu looked at Ervandas, still with his hand covering his face. Determined, she immediately opened her mouth wide and swallowed his deeply.

“Ah!”

A startled moan escaped. Ervandas removed his hand and pushed himself up, gazing at Lulu. Whether surprised or not, Lulu licked what had entered her mouth.

Even though only the head was swallowed, her jaw felt stiff. It was hard to believe that something like this entered her body every day. Lulu licked the glans.

“Oh my goodness. Oh, gods. No, this is… Ah, ah…”

The red hair swayed between his legs. Ervandas was confused. He knew this wouldn’t be good for Lulu. Pushing an impure place into the mouth of his beloved—did it make any sense? But it was all the more arousing as it was.

A place as tight and warm as Lulu’s underneath. A place to ravage at will for pleasure, not for any god-serving purpose.

This act, as if breaking an implicit taboo, made Ervandas feel immoral. It was a perfect stimulus for someone who had just begun their descent into corruption.

“Lulu, please. Stop. Stop it.”

However, Lulu didn’t heed his words. She swallowed him deeper as if boasting. Her plump lips emitted a wet sound. It was clumsy, but the fact that Lulu was doing it became an even more intense stimulation for him than any enchantment could provide.

He quickly realized that he was reaching his limit, and Lulu, who was biting down, also sensed something different, so she quickly pulled her head away. Ervandas expelled the welling semen.

Ejected semen splattered across Lulu’s face and chest. Curious about the taste, she gulped it down.

“Lulu!”

Ervandas leaped to his feet in alarm and swiftly wiped the splatters off Lulu’s face with the clothes he had discarded, his face a swirling mix of guilt and excitement.

As Lulu recalled the night they had spent together, she absentmindedly pressed her flushed cheek with the back of her hand. Strangely, these days, even the slightest moment of stillness brought back memories of what she had shared with Ervandas.

It’s always fun when we’re together, but why do I feel so embarrassed?

Experiencing such emotions for the first time in her life, Lulu squeezed her fidgeting fingers.

“Lulu!”

While lost in her thoughts, Lulu heard Ervandas’s voice calling from above. She brushed off her clothes, quickly got up, and ran upstairs.

“You called?”

“Yes. Could you please tidy up here? It seems like we need to wipe away the dust on the floor.”
