Chapter 2: Fateful Encounter

… Crack*Sound of firewood splitting awoken Keichi. Keichi opened his eyes. It's quite dark. But hints of light allow him to see the fabric green roof.He turned his head sideways and sees he is in a tent. He tries to feel his body and found it's bandaged here and there."Ahhh-!".Keichi gritted his teeth as he now felt the pain coursing throughout his body.Kyubey stood next to him.'Keichi, you can turn block your sense of pain and heal your body with magic. Just feel your soul gem. You can isolate your consciousness'.Keichi nodded and touched his soul gem. He feels the power flow, and he felt his pain senses are numbed to not feeling anything at all.Then he repaired his body with the soul gem. Even the twisted leg turned itself back right.Keichi look at his soul gem and noticed the glow faded with grimes around."Kyubey, my soul gems seem dim and murky"."It's because your magic can run out".'What happens if I run out".'You die'.Kyubey state it as a matter of fact.Keichi felt despaired. He thought he simply can't use magic if it runs out but to hear he would die… Perhaps he should have asked Kyubey for more information before making this wish.Note that Keichi only had fragments of dreams about events that transpired. But he doesn't know, or even remember when he transformed into a Witch. Most magical girls never knew that their 'death' can lead to turning into a Witch."How do I refill them…'.Kyubey is silent."I don't know.".Keichi is stupefied.Don't know???Is he saying is should just die???Kyubey is being honest. He is not sure if Wraith or Witch existed in this universe since Fay is the first magical boy contracted to him in this world.No Wraiths = No Grief Cubes.The ultimate outcome, might as well means Fay will become the very first Witch in this world. Kyubey thought about the whole thing.Since Keichi can't do anything about it for now he turns to look through the gap of the tent. But it's too small. Some light from a campfire is seen through."Kyubey… How did I survive?"."You simply passed out from pain. You never are going to die. Unless your soul gem is destroyed"."You mean…?".'Your body is a construct made of magic. And your self is in the soul gem, where your soul is. Any bodily injuries, even if you are decapitated, you can heal them – given you have enough magic that is.'.The realisation dawns on Keichi. His flesh isn't human anymore.But he took it quite well, because there's nothing different technically speaking. It's just stronger and more convenient.He moves to the tent opening and poke his head out to see outside."You are awake!?".A guy- a beastman with wolf ears and a fluffy tail. His skin is a bit tanned. He had his sideburn extends across his sides. He looks young yet have stubbles around his chin, and has a big bulky build. He looks manly and quite handsome.He looked at Keichi up and down and is shocked. He thought he would be dead much less this fine.After he throw a fireball to the ogre, it just fell and died. He observed the corpse and see their necks are slit and stabbed. He looked at the young teen under a fallen tree. He used his enhanced strength to lift the tree and carry the mangled body of Keichi, feeling it's still alive as he heard its heart beating and a very light breathing.He did his best to stop the bleeding with some blood clotting potions and healing potions and hope for the best. He never expected this however.The person stood in front of his just fine like he was never injured!"How did you…, why are you fine…? ".…Keichi replied with silence thinking of the right response."N-nevermind".Of course, since there are many magic and tales in Elysia, there are many strange things. He thought he shouldn't pry further about it.Seeing Keichi was silent. He continues…"What are you doing in the middle of the forest? The guild already warned everyone to stay away. Thankfully it's dead. It seems to be already injured though… Did you fight it?".Keichi is formulating the words to say. He even asked Kyubey who took the liberty to sit on his head what he should say.He decides to act like he lost his memory."… I don't remember".Wain frowned. He looks at the teenage boy again. He had rare black hair and blue eyes – a very rare combination. He looks quite cute too.'Come sit here.'.Keichi nodded and sat next to him a few metres away."I am Wain. My party members is dismantling the ogre's body. They would come back soon. Here.".Wain passed a bowl of stew to him."What's your name?".Keichi thought for a moment."Fay.". He answered. He wanted a restart, a new life. Hence a new name."Do you remember anything else? Did you injure the ogre? Where you live?"."I don't remember"."Then do you have this with you?". Wain showed him a silver tag."Mmm… No… What is it?".'It's the adventurer identification tag. Everyone registered at the guild should have them…'. He looked at Fay curiously.His skin is glistening and seems soft. His smaller body frame and slightly chubby cheeks makes his appearance more adorable. The sapphire eyes are very beautiful constating his black hair.Wain felt he had another feeling brewing inside him but he holds himself back. He thought Fay is a girl but when he bandaged him, he noticed he had that part. He reminds himself he's a guy, and Fay is also a guy. But he can't help it but look at Fay again."… Thank you, for saving me". Fay looks at Wain with grateful eyes.'Hahha. Don't mention it.'.Wain blushed a little. He involuntarily had to pat Ray's head.'Ah. Sorry. I felt like you are like my little brother haha'. Wain laughed out his embarrassment. Still a blush forms on his cheeks.'It's okay…'. Fay liked it actually'."Are you really fine? Does it hurt anywhere?".'I am fine really…"."Okay.". … Fay curiously looks at Wain. His wolf like ears, the side burn extending to his ears. And his stubbles. He looks so… manly, so masculine. As if he could protect him from danger. Very much his type.He observes the tail behind Wain wagging here and there slightly. It looks very cute.Wain noticed the gaze and looked back. They locked eyes, for a second or so, before Fay turned his eyes away.Wain felt his heart stops for a moment. Such pretty eyes got highlighted due to his black hair. With Wain noticing Fay had eyed him, he went to ask."You are…?".'I am Wain?"."I mean… Your ears and tail…".'Oh. I am a beastman from the wolf tribe. I was born here actually. My parents travelled from Beastia to this kingdom to start a new life or something'.'... I see'.Fay can't help but keep looking at his ears and fluffy tail. It's so fluffy. He remembers he has a cat, Yuki. An orange cat he found scavenging the garbage can outside his house.Wain noticed Fay is looking at his tail. He embarrassedly moves his tail closer to Fay.Fay is surprised and look at Wain.While he's blushing, and can't look at Fay directly, he said'You can touch it if you want. A lot of people are curious after all'.Fay happily touches it. Feeling the soft fur. He remembered his cat once again. He pats the fluffy tail.He forgets it's a tail of a person as he sniffed it like he sniffed his cat and buried his face into it. It's smelled like Kentucky fried chicken for some reason. He missed the fast-food branch. Kyubey who's sitting on Fay's head only silently watch.Wain face is as red as tomato. Normally touching tails is only for lover. And for him to… Do this. Wain heart is beating really fast. It felt like Fay is seducing him. He even had a rising that is not the shield hero feeling Fay sniffing his tail.But he lets Fay do all that. He likes his touch.'Bro. Damn'.Suddenly a guy with brown hair and brown eyes come out of nowhere. He first had a shocked expression, then had a curious, seemingly dirty smile.The initial shock is seeing the young cute guy is alive after all that. The second curious expression because he sees something quite interesting."A-ah- Trevor". Wain embarrassedly pulled his tail away from Fay.Fay also realised the tail is Wain's. He felt embarrassed that he overdoes it. Fay noticed Trevor. He's also of similar big build like Wain. He seems to be carrying a large shield on his back.'Heyy. I am Trevor, this dog's party member. He didn't force you to… Do anything didn't he?'. Trevor eyes Wain.He knew the culture of beastman. And seeing Fay even sniffing and burying his face into it is something quite intriguing. Not to mention tonight is a full moon.'No…?', Fay innocently said."Haha. No, he's just curious to see my tail that's all".'Ah… Sorry Wain. It's so soft and …smells good. I forgot its… your tail'.Wain had his heart paused again.Trevor smiled seeing this cute couple. He asked about his injuries and Fay simply said it's magic.Soon another 3 come along. Red haired girl Lisa, a blonde male elf Elvis and another short white-haired girl with a witch hat, Amber.They went to do disassemble the ogres useful parts like its bones, horns and most importantly, it's magic crystal.Supposedly, Wain with his wolf sense should detect the ogre and they should all go to subdue it. But somehow Wain comes back with this young man, with horrifying injuries telling them the ogre is dead.After an interrogation session, they decided to leave the camp seeing Fay is fine back to the town Angis.The town is what you would see in a medieval fantasy setting. No high-rise buildings. Only a few buildings is 2 floor height. Some structure is made from wood entirely while some uses stone as its foundation.Since it's nighttime, they went to check in to the inn they were staying."Wain, you stay with Fay for tonight". Trevor said so with a devil smile.Wain nodded and keep a stoic face."There shouldn't be a problem, right?". Trevor teases him. As Wain's closest friend from the town, he knew a special peculiarity of the wolf tribe."No of course not". Wain keep a stoic face again. But in truth, his heart wasn't calm at all.During the full moon, which is tonight, his friend Wain is particularly sensitive and- okay he's very easy to be sexually stimulated.Considering Fay had encountered such a terrifying monster and injured close to death, they get one more room.So, Lisa (red girl) and Amber (white girl) shared a room, while Trevor and Elvis (elf) shared another room. 4 men in one room is a bit too tight after all.Unfortunately, there's no double bed and only a single bed.Everyone went to their rooms to get sleep."Mmm… Fay, you can sleep on the bed. I can sleep on the floor here".'N-no. I can sleep on the floor. You helped a lot already'.'Hey. You had a rough night. Just get some rest.'Fay is quiet, sitting on the wooden chair in the room. His cloths is drenched in his blood and don't want to dirty the room much.Wain took off his dirty clothes, revealing his toned and built muscles. Quite a lot of spares brown hairs all over his chest. More hairs on his stomach, going down his crotch. Thick hairs seen under his armpits. He sees a part of his peach under the fluffy tail.Fay really can't help it but steal glances. So… Hot…Wain of course noticed the gaze and can't say anything. He's particularly in heat this very might and noticing the cutie stealing glances at his body is making his son excited.He turned his back; afraid Fay sees it. He took off his pants while wearing his towel and went to the bath.Wain thought Fay might be eyeing him.Maybe…he likes his body?He can try to sleep with him tonight?Ah! What if he's wrong?What if it's all in his head and he wrongfully made an assumption?He entered the bathroom and closed the door. As the shower turns on, he can't help it but release a part of his brewing desires.…Thinking about the cute, grabbable waist Fay had, the smooth skin, the cute pinkish lips.The blue sapphire eyes are so beautiful. The way his hand touches his tail and sniffs them. He imagines sort of things with Fay. The image is too good he gasps and releases all his essence.'Damn…'.He cleaned himself properly and went out in his towel. He looks at Fay is still sitting there waiting.He dried himself and wore a set of clothes. He looked at Fay standing blankly.'Um… I don't have a towel'.Wain realised the problem. It's already late and the innkeeper probably asleep already. He doesn't want to disturb the poor old woman."Here". He simply passed his towel to him. Although a bit dam, it's alright.Fay nodded. He took off his bloodied shirt and pants. Revealing the soft clear skin he had. No body hair to be seen, except some short hairs on his armpits and a bit on his crotch.Wain gulped his saliva. The pinkish accessory on his chest. The slender arms.He looked away, and steal another glance.Wain wants to have a taste...Ah! He's really going crazy. Damning the wolven heritage he had.Fay went to the bath in his towel with Kyubey on his head as usual.'Kyubey… Do you have any idea how to replenish my magic?'."Since the ogre, seemingly having an energy signature comparable to a Wraith , has been taken down why not ask Wain if it drops a Grief Cube or something similar.".Fay nodded. He cleaned himself as dried blood melts away from his body. He also washes Kyubey. Unlike his cat Yuki, Kyubey is very calm. He went out of the bath when he finished.Wain who had simply placed a blanket on the floor steal a glance again.The soft white skin… The pinkish décor…He's damned. A tower rises.Fay stood quietly there."W-Wain… I don't have any clothes…". Fay fidgeted his fingers, feeling quite embarrassed.'O-oh'. Wain finally realised.He took out a set of clothes for him. Fay wears them. It's very big, oversized enough to see Fay's collarbone.Gulped. Fay looks very cute this way.He can't do this anymore really. He wants it. He keeps looking at Fay with desire and look away. Occasionally stealing glances.He wonders if he should initiate it somehow, in case he wants it too.Fay went to lay on the single bed. Turning around here and there. Wain closed his eyes, trying to sleep on the floor covered with a blanket. But the tower is standing and demanding."Wain… We can sleep together if you don't mind…". Fay poke his head to the bed side, looking at Wain laying on the floor.Badump, badump.Wain sits up straight and look at Fay."Sure". He kept a straight face and stood up and crawled next to Fay. Of course, he's a man with desire.Badump badump.Fay had a bad day truly. He felt close to death. And it's the worse pain he ever felt, physically speaking. More than when he tried to slit his wrists before.Although he wanted to be free, he felt scared honestly in this unfamiliar but dangerous place.He felt a fluffy tail next to him. He thought it's Kyubey so he caressed it.Huh? It's long. Too long.He realised it's Wain's. He's sleeping sideways facing away from him.'Sorry… I thought'.He wanted to say it's Kyubey but since he can't see Kyubey, he can't explain it either."Its… Soft…". He gave an excuse.Wain gulped. Is he… Seducing me?He can't help it anymore and turned around."You can, touch it if you want". He moved his tails over his body close to Fay. His heart is beating fast, close to exploding. They are now sleeping sideways facing each other.Fay felt, this hot man, facing him like this making him felt particularly excited. Still, taking the opportunity, he caresses and hug the tail.Wain's tower is standing and already excited over the limit.He can't control himself anymore. He went closer to Fay, his legs intertwining his. His hand crossed over Fay's body, essentially hugging him.Fay was surprised at this sudden affection.He gulped. He looked at Wain. And Wain looks at him. They both agreed with their eyes, they want each other.Fay moved closer and give him a hug. With his other hand, he touches the crease between the sculpted chest.Their hearts beating fast for each other. Their desires reaching their limit.A night to be remembered happened.…
