The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 361: Reporting in to Commander-in-Chief Quiche

…It was a long kiss.

By the way, I’ve already released .

“Phuuh, I thought that I might run out of air there.”

“Sorry.”

“…No, I don’t really mind since it made me happy.” Quiche smiles shyly.

She wraps her arms around me and gently leans in. A very natural hug.

It’s through her armor, but…I can feel her warmth. Still, looking closely at the armor she’s wearing…I can spot small rips at various spots. Moreover, at some places it’s been pletely torn off, showing bruises.

Noticing my stare, she chuckles, whispers, “I’m fine,” into my ear, and loosens her embrace. Then she pulls back a bit, and glances at Kisara who’s bowing next to us.

For an instant uneasiness colors Quiche’s face, but after blinking once, she shifts her eyes – those pupils that look like jades – back to me.

I can see myself reflected in her eyes. Her translucent skin and her small lips…

Those lips of her move stiffly, “…Should I also bow like her?”

While laughing, I tell her, “Don’t be stupid. You’re my friend, aren’t you?”

“You’re right. I’m your precious friend――” Quiche replies with a smile, and leans in again after stretching herself a bit.

Her breath feels nice as it tickles my ear. Suddenly I can hear her whispering, “…The wish of Morning Star Cydale came true…”

Then she squeezed out the feeling that had amassed in her heart, “I was lonely…so lonely――” while pressing her lips against my neck.

While feeling slightly ticklish…I gently stroke Quiche’s back and slender nape with my fingers…

In response, she leaks a sexy moan, seemingly also feeling ticklish. After tilting her head somewhat, she mutters, “…Mmh, it’s your scent, Shuuya.”

I can tell from her tone that she’s smiling.

Once again Quiche kisses my neck, before confessing quietly, “I love you…”

At the same time as I feel my chest tightening oppressively, I also sense passion welling up within. I should give her a response.

I mutter into her lovely, long ears, “…you.”

“Eh? What did you say just now?”

“Don’t worry about it――” I tightly embrace Quiche to hide my embarrassment that might show through my behavior.

However, right now we’re on a hill littered with orc corpses. It’s not the right place for long hugs.

I place my hands on Quiche’s shoulders, and she nods, apparently agreeing with my feelings. Quiche tenderly places her hands on the back of mine as if nursing her own shoulders.

Turning around with a smile on her lips, she starts to walk around so as to check the situation on the hill.

“…It looks like the semi-transparent you defeated was the last of the lot, Shuuya.” Quiche ments while checking the equipment on the orc corpses.

“A semi-transparent orc; for it to have eaten the remains of its own kin…”

“Yeah, it was an abnormal orc. There’s also a magic cage over there. I think the semi-transparent orc was probably released from there, but I can also see the corpse of the general orc over here.”

Just as Quiche has mentioned, I can see a cage at the end of her line of sight.

There exists a path at the bottom of the ravine, cut into the valley somewhat on the left from the middle. Down that path towers a huge cage. In front of it lay corpses of small orcs and the one of a big, horned orc.

The big orc is obviously different from the others. It’s wearing a luxurious long
