Chapter 28: No, don't think about that!

As expected, it seems that in my panic and embarrassment I hit Thadeus-kun too hard and knocked him unconscious, causing Mom to scold me heavily for it after Lily made a fuss about it with clear exaggeration.

I felt really guilty about overdoing it afterwards…But but!

After seeing that weapon hidden in the fabric of Thadeus-kun's pants and thinking that I might have come into contact with his thing without knowing it, excitement went to my head and I ended up acting without thinking!

Or rather… stupid thoughts such as “What if Thadeus-kun uses that thing to subjugate me to his Will…♥?… N-no… There’s no way something like that could get in!” made me feel feverish and terrified at the same time, causing me to behave violently to cope with those overwhelming emotions.

I have to admit it... I'm acting like the Tsundere from the story! A classic full of Deredere on the inside and too much Tsuntsun on the outside...!

There was already a Maga heroine with that role and I don't want it!

Or rather…I don’t want to be a heroine!

“It’s okay Maru, it was my fault.”

“Y-yes…I think..”

At least, after regaining consciousness, Thadeus-kun, with a rather obvious red hand mark on his face, ended up forgiving me by blaming himself with an awkward smile, and I just answered him awkwardly like that with a red face.

…Although it was clear even to me that he was confused and upset about being hit just because his little brother tensed up in his pants. Clearly, he was lacking some sexual education…

It's not like I'm going to educate him on the matter...somehow, the idea seemed embarrassingly tempting to me ♥...Ah, but no, I'm not going to do such a thing...!

And Thadeus-kun…. Do you know how Lily is looking at you funny and blushing despite your forced apology? I know it's difficult when you're excited, but calm down….! You sound insincere even having it like that since you fell unconscious, which made it quite awkward to move…!

And it's embarrassing and uncomfortable to watch!

Although…. strangely I want to keep looking ♥…. no, ever since I threw him onto the bed in one of the guest rooms with Lily’s help and he was still so firm, I wanted nothing more than to see what’s there, to look at its shape and size…to touch it to feel its heat and hardness.…♥…. to kiss it ♥…to lick it and taste it ♥….and….

“Mn….“

“¿Maru?“

“I-it’s nothing…go for now.”

I covered my mouth to hold back a moan, unable to stop myself from rubbing my thighs together in front of him as I stole glances at his tent, pointing toward the door. Thadeus-kun nodded hesitantly and somewhat reluctantly, still staring at that tent as he left the room…

“God... how can He be so great…♥”

“Onee-chan is a pervert.” Lily’s laughter put me in such a bad mood that I didn’t even feel like wondering how much this seven-year-old girl knows about sexuality to say that…

And yet, I kept thinking about Thadeus-kun's penis, using the in-game sex images in my memory to reconstruct its shape without being able to help it, thinking about all the dirty things I'd like to do (No, not me, Maru!) to that fleshy, hard, thick thing…♥

Licking and sucking it like a candy sounds fun…♥….And thinking about having it inside me…♥…just makes me want to masturbate right there!

If it weren't for Lily...maybe I would have done it already...!

…Damn these absolutely filthy thoughts that a straight man shouldn’t have for another man and this strange feeling of excitement that are making me so horny….How lustful was the original Maru that she would be affected like this just by seeing Thadeus-kun’s tent…? I sound like a sexual deviant, and Maru is 12 years old or younger!

…it’s not my fault at all…right?

I want to believe that it wasn't my own perversion that made me feel this way... Wouldn't that mean I'm somewhat gay now?

Damn female sex hormones…!

At MaLyKawaii 's Inn (what a strange name) in Thaur Village there was a lot of activity now that night had arrived.

Quite a few adventurers on long-term quests entered the village and went to our inn to eat, drink, and sleep, which caused Lily and I to have a lot of work to do along with the maid.

I was a little overwhelmed by it. Not because it was extremely difficult, but because it was the first time I'd done this kind of thing; although thanks to Maru's procedural memory, I was able to complete the task as best I could.

It seemed this noble girl had grown accustomed to this job, though a strange feeling of annoyance and resignation washed over me, which seemed to indicate it wasn't her... no, my favorite job at all. After all, I didn't enjoy it either.

At first, I felt a little tense. Even though we were little girls, there might be some loli-loving pedophile among these adventurers who might touch us inappropriately or say something dirty. More than that, I had the image that adventurers were tough, regardless of gender, so it was only natural.

But it wasn't that bad.

There were indeed rugged-looking adventurers, and the vast majority were male, but the vast majority were also young, novice adventurers, the kind who were accumulating experience and merits to rise higher in the Adventurer's Guild, just like in any other fantasy story.

Even the afternoon dwarf turned out to be a youngster, apparently; something difficult to notice because all male dwarves have beards from the age of six, as far as I know (Fantasy).

Anyway, everything was pretty quiet, and there weren't any adventurers doing anything inappropriate... of course, there were adventurers drinking and celebrating, quite loudly. But that was normal for an inn, wasn't it?

The strange thing is that there were no incidents like fights or the like between them at all. In fact, even the drunks were quite obedient to the inn's rules, although there was one argument that didn't get any worse before magically calming down.

I have no idea why that is, but it was better that way... well, some Adventurers were young enough to look at me blushing, as if they were attracted to the cute platinum-blonde waitress that I am, and were seriously considering impressing me or perhaps, proposing to me...

To them, I simply gave them a dry look that made them immediately back away. Leaving aside the fact that I have no intention of marrying any man, what kind of adventurers are they that the look of a girl makes them lose the courage to flirt or whatever?

Even as rookies…you should have already fought Monsters.

Was it because they were aware of their faults? Honestly, Thadeus-kun was much more handsome than all of them combined, and he was much younger.

If you know about him and our friendship, maybe it was a bit obvious that a girl would choose the little town cutie pie as her future husband instead of Flatface from who knows where?

Maybe... it's not like I want to marry Thadeus-kun or anything. Who wants to marry a guy who gets hard just from hugging a girl? Hmm!

…….When I look back on that, all I can think about is how big it was for a kid and it ended up a little horny….♥

I'd better stop.

Anyway, having literally spent two hours delivering food and even beer to several adventurers and a few other travelers without stopping too much and even having to help clean the dining room and kitchen, I naturally felt very exhausted.

By the time everyone finally went to sleep (this place was big enough for 30 adventurers and more), I was already lying back in my bed, enjoying the relaxation and comfort my tired and tense muscles felt from work.

It was a truly unique experience, working like that. Now that I thought about it, wasn't I a guy who was so weak for that kind of thing before?

Maybe it was because I was sick, but having less physical stamina than a child was painful. I was a 24-year-old man…

But what can I do? Anyway, I'm Maru now. Aside from certain... disadvantages, I should be grateful for having a healthy body.

.... Although I'm worried about what happened to the original Maru.

Did that god simply take his soul so I could take his place, or did this world even exist before that god decided to send me here for his own little project…? Does that mean it was an empty shell I took as soon as everything was created, one with useful memories already installed?

Oh, I don't know. Let's not overthink it. I have a lot of other things to worry about right now, and anyway, what could Maru and I do in the face of God's will?

Again, there are more important things to think about. Things I didn't bother doing before, either because I tend to push aside things that bother me or overly worry me later, or simply because of the strange feeling that everything is normal that seems to come from this body and relaxes my mind in the face of the uncertainty of the future.

But it was something I had to address. It was very important, more than the penis of… No, don't think about it!
