Chapter 3 - Village

Teru stood up. Pulled his pants back on. Hood still up. Blue hair messy from sweat and hands. Lucie dressed beside him with a quick wave of magic—her leaf outfit reformed clean and perfect. Nol hopped off, staff in hand, twintails bouncing as she adjusted her heart patches.

He looked toward the village path. Lights flickered in the distance. Elf voices carried on the wind—soft laughter, quiet talk.

Lucie took his left hand. Nol took his right.

Teru squeezed both.

"Let's go."

The three of them walked. The Holy Tree glowed behind them—brighter than before. Pulsing steady.

Teru smirked to himself.

'One chapter closed. World fixed? Not yet. But I'm just getting started.'

The path opened ahead.

The village waited.

Once they stepped fully into the village, it hit Teru like a dream.

Elves everywhere. Beautiful elves. Busty elves. Tall ones with long legs and flowing hair. Short ones with cute faces and perky chests. Light-skinned high elves in white dresses. Dark-skinned ones in black armor and capes. All pointed ears. All glowing with faint magic. Some carried baskets. Some trained with bows or staffs. Some just sat talking. All turned to look at him.

Every single one was gorgeous.

Nol glanced up at him. Saw his eyes wide.

"And this whole village is yours."

Teru shook his head once.

"Pass."

Nol blinked. "What?"

Teru looked around again. Calm.

"Not saying I don't want a harem. But I don't want a whole village."

He met her green eyes.

"I'll fuck them if they want kids. If they want sex. But I'd rather quality over quantity."

Nol grinned wide. Teeth showing.

"Oh, I picked the right one."

She hopped closer. Pressed against his side.

"So who's on your mind?"

Teru thought for a second.

'You have no idea the list I have ready.'

Out loud he said, "Of course you."

He reached down. Grabbed Lucie's ass. Firm. She squeaked and blushed.

"And her. Then I'll choose who comes next."

Nol purred. Low and happy.

"Oh how perfect~ I guess later I'll show you my adult form."

Teru acted surprised. Raised an eyebrow.

"You have an adult form?"

Inside his head: 'Fuck yes. Cuddly loli and hot elf. Like in canon.'

Nol laughed. Twirled her staff once.

"You'll see. When we're alone. Or maybe not alone. Depends how good you are."

Lucie giggled. Hid her face in Teru's arm.

Teru kept walking. The two girls on either side.

Elves started to gather. Whispering. Staring. Some bowed. Some smiled shy. A few looked him up and down—eyes lingering on his hoodie, his blue hair, the bulge still visible in his pants.

"Elder. Is this the savior?"

Nol nodded. Big smile.

"Yup. Teru Seto. He's the real deal."

Firis looked Teru over. Slow. Appraising.

"He doesn't look like much."

Teru smirked.

"Looks can deceive."

Firis raised an eyebrow.

"We'll see."

Nol hopped between them.

"Be nice, Firis. He already made the tree glow brighter. And Lucie's loyalty is maxed."

Firis blinked. Looked at Lucie. Then at Teru.

"Already?"

Lucie nodded. Blush deep.

"He's… kind. And strong."

Firis huffed. But her eyes softened a little.

"Fine. Village meeting tomorrow. We'll decide the next step."

Teru nodded.

"Works for me."

Nol tugged his hand.

"Come on. Let's get you to my house. You need rest. And maybe… more practice."

Teru followed. Lucie and Nol on each side.

The village watched them go. Whispers followed.

Teru didn't care.

'Quality over quantity. Bonds first. Then the rest.'

He squeezed both hands.

'This is my harem. My rules. My way.'

Teru looked at Nol. "Hey. I have questions."

Nol tilted her head. Twintails bounced. "Go ahead. Ask."

Teru met her green eyes. Straight.

"Can you bring another human into this world?"

Nol raised an eyebrow. Small smirk.

"Oh? Why?"

Teru didn't flinch.

"Her name is Scarlet. She's my ex."

Nol blinked. Then laughed. Short and bright.

"Ohhh. One village not enough?"

Teru shook his head once.

"It is. But if I'm starting a harem, I want my first love in it."

He reached into his hoodie pocket. Pulled out his phone.

One of the nearby elves—a tall light elf with long silver hair—leaned in. Stared at the device.

"What's that, savior-sama?"

Teru glanced at her.

"A phone. I'll explain later."

He unlocked the screen. Swiped to his gallery. Pulled up a photo.

Scarlet. Long red hair like fire. Golden eyes sharp and confident. Black lace dress hugging her curves. Holding a small black card with gold lettering. Smirk on her lips. Dangerous. Beautiful.

He turned the phone to Nol.

"Here. Her family's rich. If you were wondering. We broke up on friendly terms. She said we could get back together if we wanted. Still sends me gifts on my birthday. I send hers. Safe to say she wants it too."

Nol took the phone. Looked close. Eyes widened a little.

"Red hair. Golden eyes. Looks like trouble."

Teru smirked.

"She is. The good kind."

Nol handed the phone back. Grinned.

"Lucky for you, time works different here and in your world."

She hopped onto a low stone wall. Legs swinging.

"Hours here are a few seconds there. One day here equals one hour in your world. And it scales like that. You could spend weeks here. Go back. Barely any time passed."

Teru nodded slow.

'Perfect. Grab Scarlet. Bring her in. No missing years. No drama back home.'

Lucie squeezed his hand. Looked up shy.

"You… want her here too?"

Teru looked down at her. Softened a bit.

"Yeah. If she wants. She's part of my life. Always was."

Lucie smiled small.

"Then… I want to meet her."

Nol jumped down. Staff twirling.

"I can open a gate. Small one. Short window. You talk to her. Convince her. Bring her through. But it's your call. Your harem. Your rules."

Teru pocketed the phone.

"Not today. Need to fix things here first. Tree. War. Dark elves. Once that's stable… I'll call her."

Nol nodded. Big grin.

"Smart. No rush. Village first."

She pointed her staff toward a large central building. Wooden. Vines growing up the walls. Lights warm inside.

"My house. Come. Rest. Eat. Meet a few more girls. Then tomorrow—village meeting. We plan."

Teru followed. Lucie and Nol on each side.

The elves watched them go. Whispers followed.

Teru didn't look back.

'Scarlet later. World first. Quality bonds. One step at a time.'

He squeezed Lucie's hand. Felt Nol's small fingers in his other.

'This is my start. My harem. My way.'

The elder's house waited ahead. Door open. Warm light spilling out.

Teru walked in.

Ready.

The elder's house was small but warm. Wooden walls covered in vines that glowed soft green. One big room with a low table, cushions on the floor, shelves of old books and glowing crystals. A single bed in the corner—big enough for three if they squeezed.

Nol kicked off her boots. Hopped onto a cushion. Twintails bounced.

"Sit. Both of you."

Teru sat cross-legged. Lucie settled beside him right away—close enough that her shoulder touched his arm. She still smelled like flowers and sex. Quiet. Content.

Nol looked at them. Grinned.

"You two look cute together. Like you've known each other forever."

Lucie blushed. Looked down at her hands.

"He's… gentle. And strong."

Teru ruffled her silver hair. Light. Casual.

"She's easy to be gentle with."

Nol leaned forward. Elbows on the table. Chin in hands.

"So savior-sama. Tell me about your world. No magic? No elves? Just humans running around with those… phone things?"

Teru pulled his phone out again. Set it on the table.

"Yeah. No magic. No pointed ears. Just tech. Phones connect people across the planet. Take pictures. Play music. Show news. Games."

Lucie leaned in. Eyes wide.

"Can it show pictures of your world?"

Teru nodded. Unlocked it. Swiped to his gallery.

First photo: the park he signed the petition for. Kids on swings. Trees. Families laughing.

Lucie smiled soft.

"It looks peaceful."

Teru swiped again. City street at night. Neon lights. People walking.

Nol tilted her head.

"Bright. Loud. Strange."

Another swipe. A selfie—Teru in his hoodie. Blue hair messy. Small smirk.

Lucie giggled.

"That's you."

Teru chuckled.

"Yeah. Bad angle."

Nol reached over. Touched the screen careful. Like it might bite.

"No mana. Just… metal and light?"

"Pretty much."

Teru swiped one more time. Showed a photo of Scarlet. The red-haired girl with golden eyes. Same black lace dress. Holding that card.

Nol whistled low.

"She's pretty. Dangerous pretty."

Lucie looked too. No jealousy. Just curious.

"She's… your first love?"

Teru nodded.

"Yeah. We were together a while. Broke up clean. Still talk. Still care."

Nol leaned back. Smirked.

"You really want her here."

Teru met her eyes.

"If she wants. She fits. Always did."

Lucie took his hand. Squeezed.

"Then… I want to meet her too. She sounds important."

Teru squeezed back.

"She is."

Nol clapped her hands once. Hopped up.

"Okay. Enough sad talk. Food time."

She waved her staff. Magic shimmered. A tray appeared on the table—fresh fruit, bread, honey cakes, cups of sweet tea.

"Eat. You two worked hard."

Teru took a cake. Bit into it. Sweet. Warm.

Lucie nibbled a fruit. Looked at him sideways.

"Savior-sama… do you like it here?"

Teru looked around. The warm room. The two girls. The quiet village outside.

"Yeah. I do."

He put an arm around Lucie. Pulled her close.

"And I like you two."

Lucie smiled. Head on his shoulder.

Nol scooted closer. Leaned against his other side.

"Good. Because you're stuck with us."

Teru chuckled.

"Stuck? Nah. I chose this."

He looked at the glowing crystals on the shelf. Then at the two elves beside him.

'Lucie. Nol. First two. Quality. Not quantity.'

He took another bite of cake.

'Scarlet next. When the time's right.'

The three of them sat there. Eating. Talking quiet. Laughing at small things.

No rush.

No sex.

Just them.

Warm. Safe. Together.

Teru leaned back against the wall. Lucie curled into his side. Nol's head on his thigh.

The village outside hummed soft.

The Holy Tree glowed in the distance.

Teru closed his eyes for a second.

'This is good.'

'This is mine.'

Later that Night

Teru lay on the wide bed in Nol's house. The mattress was soft—stuffed with something that smelled like fresh moss and flowers. Moonlight slipped through the window vines.

Lucie hugged his right side. Already asleep. Yellow hair spread across his chest. One leg draped over his. Breathing slow and even.

Nol hugged his left. Petite form curled tight. Twintails tickled his arm. Small hand fisted in his hoodie. Soft snores every few breaths.

Teru stared at the ceiling. Wood beams. Glowing crystals embedded like stars.

'System.'

Ding!

[Night to you as well, host.]

Teru blinked. 'Huh. You sound like that.'

[What did you expect me to sound like?]

'Robotic.'

[You're silly, host. I'm a reflection of you.]

Teru stared harder at the ceiling. 'That explains so much.'

[You're welcome. So. Any questions?]

Teru thought for a second. 'Yeah. What is Lust Energy?'

Ding!

[Lust Energy]

[What it is: A real-time, fluctuating pool that builds up from sexual activities, arousal exposure, and justice acts. Think of it as raw sexual/magical "juice" you generate and spend.]

[Main source: Sex (especially with elves/harem members) → massive surges during foreplay, penetration, climax (bonuses for consent, enthusiasm, multi-partner, form variety like Nol's dual modes).]

[Passive gains: Proximity to aroused females (Pleasure Aura makes them tingle → feeds back tiny amounts to you).]

[Justice bonuses: Killing/curbstomping rapists/slavers/NTR villains → big bursts (e.g., "Orc horde wiped: +2000 Lust Energy – justice feels orgasmic ♡").]

[Milestones: First bonds, rescues, or world-fixing events.]

Teru blinked again. 'That answered my question and four follow-ups. So how does it work?'

Ding!

[How it works:

You generate Lust Energy passively or actively. It fills a bar only you see. The more you earn, the stronger your abilities get in real time.]

[Uses:

- Power active skills (Pleasure Aura cranked high, Charm Touch taze, Form Shift Pulse on yourself or others).

- Temporary buffs (infinite stamina already on, but more energy = longer, harder rounds or bigger magic boosts).

- Healing (Minor Healing Pulse through cum—costs energy but mends light wounds).

- Conversion (excess energy turns into Lust Points over time or at milestones—those are permanent upgrades, shop stuff, new unlocks).]

[Drain: Skills cost energy. Big fights or heavy aura use drain it fast. Sex recharges it quick—especially with max-loyalty girls.]

[Justice acts give the biggest spikes. Sex gives steady flow. Bonds give one-time bonuses.]

Teru exhaled slow. Looked at Lucie on his right. Nol on his left.

'So the more I save elves, kill bastards, and fuck the right way… the stronger I get.'

[Exactly. Your perversion + your justice = power. No shortcuts. No force. Bonds only. That's why Lover's Bind works. No enemy copying. Only love.]

Teru smirked in the dark.

'Fitting.'

Lucie shifted in her sleep. Pressed closer. Soft breath on his neck.

Nol mumbled something. Snuggled tighter. Small hand slipped under his hoodie. Warm against his skin.

Teru closed his eyes.

'System.'

[Yes, host?]

'Keep the notifications quiet tonight. Let me sleep.'

[Understood. Good night, pervert-hero.]

No ding this time. Just silence.

Teru relaxed. Two elves breathing steady against him. Village quiet outside.

He drifted off.

Dreams of blue hair, pointed ears, glowing trees, and a red-haired girl with golden eyes waiting somewhere far away.

Tomorrow: village meeting. Plans. More bonds.

But tonight?

Just rest.

Warm. Safe. His.
