Dungeon Overlord: Monster Girl Harem!-Chapter 43: Departure... Asuka’s Decision.

Leon and Asuka struggled to sleep.

Before they knew it, sunlight slipped through the cheap blinds, reviving the vivid memories of last night's awkward moments.

Asuka's hands gripped the sheets, her scales, and cheeks still deep-red as she recalled what happened the night before. The warmth of Leonhardt's muscles pressed against her back, comforting and embarrassing.

'What should I do…?'

Her tribe didn't have many rules, but when selecting a mate, the matriarchal tribe took this act seriously, and so she avoided any men because they made her feel uncomfortable.

When Asuka asked the other warriors of her tribe, they explained that their partner's scent was sweet, or a flavour that the female found delicious or agreeable.

'Does this mean that my mate is Leonhardt?'

His scent, from the moment she met him, was like a sweet and alluring fruit pie baked by her mother when she was a young dragonoid.

But last night, things changed… His scent changed while he was drinking and became enchanting. She wanted to taste it, to devour it all so nobody else could take it from her.

That's why she started play fighting, to get closer, able to touch and smell him from up close, sometimes a sweet aroma, others a sharp, masculine musk that made her body hot.

'Ah, this, is it right? I've already…'

Asuka dragged herself up slowly to avoid bothering the handsome man sleeping beside her.

She touched this man's body, tasted it, and he did the same to her.

Ba-Dump!

The moment her chest pounded, she trembled and bit her lower lip as she looked down at this man.

'I never would've guessed I would feel such desire towards a man.'

In the past, she hated men because of their weakness.

All the males in her village were pathetic and soft, though she didn't hate her father. That type of man wasn't her type, but—neither were the men she met with Erina and Sylvie.

'So many men came to me in the bars, or tried to get me drunk, but only you. I could only let my guard down with this fool.'

She brushed her fingers through Leon's hair before tracing a line along his face. He was the most beautiful and handsome man that she'd met. Asuka liked his masculine features mixed with an adorable and graceful charm.

But last night, when he suddenly showed his wicked side…

Hnnng ♡

Even thinking about those sharp eyes, as his hands explored her body, his lips teasing her chest… caused her to feel stuffy. As her abdomen became hot, she coughed small flames, unable to stop her scales turning dark red.

'I've really fallen for a man…'

Asuka realised that if he followed her into the bathroom or asked for more than a cuddle when she came out, she would have given him everything.

But the fact that he just hugged her tightly until she fell asleep tickled her chest.

Ba-Dump!

A powerful flutter… her cheeks became hot as she wrapped his silver locks around her long finger.

She struggled to think straight.

All her dreams always comprised serving her tribe.

Yet now a new dream appeared, one where they shared kisses and a life together. No, it wasn't yet a dream, just small misty thoughts that lingered in her mind.

"Wake up, dear." She rocked his body with a pleasant hum.

'How embarrassing…'

"Ahem! Wake up, idiot."

The young woman couldn't take these foreign feelings, shaking him until finally the man blinked before yawning.

Leon's eyelids twitched, slowly opening them as light peered into the bedroom, blinding his sight. A female sat above him, blocking half the light as her beautiful red scales sparkled.

"Such beautiful scales."

"Ack!?" Asuka's body jolted.

Her tail thumped the bed, squirming back and forth, and she covered her face to hide her shy expression from the charming man who stole her affections.

A radiant smile tugged at her lips from his comment.

'A-Ahh! No one outside the village praised my scales before~ I'm so happy!'

She let out another cough of flames, accidentally slapping Leon with her tail, but he didn't budge an inch and just softly patted the thick limb. Her scales shuddered in delight like every time his hand rubbed her body.

Finally calming down, the dragonoid faced Leonhardt, who rubbed his head and sat up, looking away. You should put some clothes on. I won't be able to hold back, seeing such a nice body first thing."

"Ahhh?!" She shrieked in surprise and rushed off to get dressed, but while reaching for her tunic, she grabbed something else. Her hand wrapped around his junk, a tent pitched in the bedding, which caused her to cover her mouth again, even more embarrassed. "S-Sorry!"

'B-Bah? Such indecent thoughts!'

She hurriedly released him and reached out to grab her bra and tunic that lay scattered about.

Meanwhile, Leonhardt sat in a relaxed posture, gazing at her quickly getting dressed. He was unable to take his eyes off the cute woman as he yawned and slipped out of bed.

"It's time to get ready, I suppose."

'How can he be so calm, after all that… does he often do those things with women?'

That sort of thought made Asuka's chest tight.

Her body felt heavy as she peeked at him from the corner of her eyes.

She got used to seeing him wearing nothing but underclothes, although the way his bulge causally appeared in her glance sent tingles down her spine.

However, he didn't look tired like her. If anything, his skin was radiant and his face seemed refreshed.

'H-He drank so much alcohol yet looks fine.'

She already felt her tail hang limply, her legs shaking as the pain of a hangover started affecting her balance. Even her throat was sore from the lack of water.

The door suddenly opened, causing Asuka to jump.

Her eyes snapped to the door where Sylvie and Erina had slept last night, and her heart raced as she wondered if they had noticed or heard anything.

'I was so loud, so embarrassing…'

Mother never said it would feel so wonderful, like floating on a cloud as heat bubbled within her, feeling like…

"Asuka, Leon, we're coming in."

"Huh?" Asuka barely replied before the door swung open.

Asuka found the two a little strange. Sylvie's eyes were dark and a little bloodshot, while dark circles appeared underneath Erina's.

'Didn't they get enough sleep? No way! Did they hear us?!'

"Morning you two."

Leonhardt's low voice became unforgettable.

To Asuka, it made her want to swoon. She could not stop thinking about him whispering in her ear as she felt that breathtaking sense of release and relief.

"L-Leon! G-Good morning." Sylvie stuttered, gazing at the shirtless Leon, who slowly wore his robe, wrapping the belt and inner shirt at a relaxed pace.

"Leonhardt…" Erina also seemed strange, her gaze unnaturally low as Asuka noticed the changes in her two friends.

'Ah, they both saw and heard everything…'

Asuka felt like jumping on top of them to shut their mouths, then clawing their eyes out because her feelings were far too obvious when showing interest in the opposite sex.

She couldn't help being proud of her accomplishment, though.

'He chose me first.'

However, she worried because Asuka didn't see herself as beautiful or pretty. Her muscular body, rough hands and the scars covering her entire body from training and fighting against demons to survive.

'I don't know what the future brings, but I don't want him to see my ugly sides.'

"Morning, Sylvie, Erina…"

A reluctant greeting leaked from Asuka's lips.

Although the morning started awkwardly and was a little bittersweet for Asuka, today, they would depart for the mountains on a long journey, and she became determined to make something happen.

"Should we eat a light breakfast before leaving, my treat?" Leonhardt's smile caused all three women to nod with a blush. Their funds were quite low after booking this inn for a month, so with his help, they couldn't help but be delighted.

'After all… he's the perfect male. I cannot let this fish slip from my hands!'
