Lawrend didn't notice the time as he continued drinking the wine. It was so delicious that he kept drinking more and more.
Amene was resting her head on his shoulder. They both had flushed faces.
"Lawrend, do you want to come to my house? I want to show something to you…" Amene said to him drunkenly.
"What is it?" Lawrend asked her.
"It's my thanks for taking care of my little sister," Amene replied.
"Huh? You haven't confirmed the well-being of your little sister, right?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.
The logical thing to do was to first confirm the truth before she thank him.
"I can feel it…" Amene placed her hand over her heart before continuing, "You never lied to me yet. As a demihuman cat, I'm most sensitive to human emotions."
"That… Are you that confident in your ability?" Lawrend asked her solemnly.
He knew that he never lied. It was just puzzling to him how much trust she can put in her ability.
"I am. After all, I'm a demihuman cat," Amene replied to him with a sweet smile on her face.
"Sigh," Lawrend sighed and said to her, "Alright, I will see this gift of yours."
"You aren't scared that I'm tricking you?" Amene asked in surprise.
After all, Lawrend was being overly cautious earlier. It doesn't make sense that he's lowering his guard now.
"Why would I still worry? The Tribal Chief would have killed me long ago if he wanted to," Lawrend matter-of-factly said to her.
"Hah. I don't even need to use my bow to kill you, so you can trust us," The Tribal Chief said to Lawrend mockingly.
"Yeah…"
Lawrend forced a smile on his face. He never thought that he would hear 'kill you' and 'trust us' in the same sentence.
"Be careful, Lawrend," Nuon said to him solemnly.
"I'd rather say that to you. You're alone with the Tribal Chief," Lawrend said to him with a slight smile on his face as he stood up.
"Geh. Now that you reminded me…"
Nuon slowly cranked his head towards the Tribal Chief. He almost forgot that the Tribal Chief is someone of a strong caliber. The Tribal Chief had drunk with them so normally that it slipped pass Nuon's mind.
"Hahahaha! Don't worry. I won't hurt you," The Tribal Chief said to Nuon with an amiable smile.
"That's even more suspicious," Nuon replied skeptically.
"Then, do you want to challenge me to a game?" The Tribal Chief asked Nuon solemnly.
"..."
Lawrend watched the two of them speechlessly.
"Follow me," Amene grabbed Lawrend's hand and pulled him with her outside of the mud house.
…
"Hm? This is the aphrodisiac batch…" The Tribal Chief murmured in realization as he looked down at his groin.
"Aphrodisiac?" Nuon asked him in confusion while he held a piece of a black coin-like object using his fingers.
"It has been 10 years since I made this batch that I forgot that I casually made an aphrodisiac one," The Tribal Chief replied to him.
"...Huh!? Doesn't that mean that—?!" Nuon exclaimed in shock and disbelief.
He then placed the coin-like object on the board on the table. There were other coin-like objects on the table with black or white colors. They were playing a game of Reversi/Othello. It is a game similar to Go but has a different set of rules. The goal was to fill the board with the most of their respective colors.
"Why isn't it affecting me yet, then?" Nuon asked him.
"You need to drink a lot… It's meant to be a slow-acting one," The Tribal Chief explained to him awkwardly.
He then placed down his black piece. After that, he flipped some of the pieces on the board, making them his color.
"Didn't the two of them drink a lot? Amene drank the most!" Nuon said to him worriedly.
He also placed another piece on the board.
"Hahahahaha!" The Tribal Chief laughed and reassured him," Don't worry. We demihumans pride ourselves on our virginity. We only offer it to our lifelong mate. Even if Amene is drunk. She won't do it with him."
"Phew. That's reassuring…" Nuon sighed in relief.
"What? You're interested in her?" The Tribal Chief looked at him in surprise.
"I'm not!"
Nuon shook his head vehemently.
"Done," The Tribal Chief placed his black piece on the edge of the board, and he flipped the white pieces on the center.
"Argh! I lost! One more!" Nuon gritted his teeth in anger.
…
Lawrend followed Amene silently as she pulled his hand. He couldn't help but enjoy the soft sensation of her hand. Though, he could feel some roughness on some of her fingers.
It should be because of her usage of the bow.
The two were silent as they walked through the dark night. Some demihuman cats would notice them and give them weird looks.
"Hey, how far is your place?" Lawrend asked her curiously.
They had already left the village.
"We're almost there... Hahh… Hahh…" Amene replied to him as she panted.
"We can take a break if you're tired," Lawrend said to her worriedly.
"D-Don't worry. Nyaaa…"
Amene reassured him.
"Are you sure? Your hand feels hot," Lawrend said to her as he realized that her hand was hotter than before.
"Just a little bit more…" Amene murmured.
"Huh?"
Lawrend was confused. Is her gift really that important?
"I… I can't take it anymore."
Amene suddenly turned around and faced him under a tree.
"Alright. Let's rest," Lawrend said to her with a smile.
He sat on the grass and pulled her down. Right now, they were in the middle of the forest.
"Lawrend, I don't have anything that can repay you, so… I can only gift you this," Amene said to Lawrend before she suddenly unwrapped her breasts.
"What!?" Lawrend exclaimed in shock.
This development was too sudden for him.
"I know it's small, but… I hope it turns you on... Hahh… Hahh… Nnyaaa…" Amene panted continuously.
Lawrend stared at it, and he felt turned on.
"I can't give you my virginity, but I can satisfy you with my other hole for tonight," Amene said to Lawrend.
She then turned around and bent over before she removed the beast skin that wrapped around her groin.
