The Sponsored Heroines Are Coming for Me

For beastmen, there is something called “taming”.

Taming is also a form of love.

The difference is that while love usually involves a mutual exchange of feelings, taming can occur even if only one party is entirely devoted.

Thus, taming can be divided into two types.

Love and Obedience.

When both parties tame each other, it is no different from love.

If only one side is tamed, it is no different from obedience.

Therefore, beastmen strive their hardest not to be tamed.

Usually, it ends up with only one side being tamed.

This results in many unfortunate situations where one cannot escape from the other person.

A complete master-servant relationship.

In the end, it progresses into a relationship where they are only used.

Thus, beastmen are wary of other races.

They learn to always treat others coldly, doing their best not to be tamed.

Danya was no exception.

Her cold tone and actions were all part of such efforts.

…That was the plan, anyway.

“Nyaaaa…”

A hot moan escaped her lips.

Her heart pounded.

It wasn’t because it was a heat day.

It was because the person she was pressed against was Ian.

Through numerous events with Ian, her cold barrier had long since melted away.

She was already tamed by Ian.

Ian was lying on top of her as if he was covering her.

He looked down at her.

His eyes, which were usually expressionless, now had a hint of bewilderment, looking cute.

She felt Ian’s hand on her chest.

The warmth of his knee pressed between her legs.

“Ha…”

She barely held back her instincts…

She had been trying so hard to endure her heat day.

Hah hah.

But her stomach ached with need.

‘I-I must endure.’

Danya clenched her fist tightly.

She shouldn’t go into heat now.

She could endure a bit longer.

She planned to hold out for at least three more days.

‘…I can hold out.’

That was her intention.

But now, sensitive areas were being touched. Watching Ian’s eyes as he did so made her body heat up.

A conflict started in her heart.

Danya slightly succumbed to her instincts.

She decided to make contact with Ian, just enough not to get caught.

Even though Lina and Elena were watching, she didn’t care.

‘I’ll just pretend it was a mistake.’

With a ridiculous excuse, Danya slightly lifted her waist.

And towards Ian’s knee that was between her legs, she subtly pushed her hips closer.

— Squish

The sensitive inside that had heated up touched his knee.

A hot breath escaped her lips, unable to hold back.

“…Huuu.”

How mean.

Ian looked down at her in confusion.

He was hesitatingly lying on top of her, worried about her.

And yet, she was using his knee to satisfy her desires.

The guilt made her even more excited.

Danya slightly twisted her lower body.

“…Haaaang!”

A more explicit moan escaped her lips.

Elena and Lina, who were watching, blushed and averted their eyes.

Ian, who had been dazed for a moment, removed his hand from Danya’s chest.

“Sorry. I had somewhat noticed your condition.”

Ian created some distance.

He opened his mouth, half-concerned, half-apologetic.

“Are you okay, Danya?”

That soft voice accelerated her excitement.

He was truly a shameless person.

His eyes, which had grown larger out of concern. His slightly parted lips.

Whenever she tried to regain composure, he stimulated her.

Whenever she tried to rebuild her wall, he came over it.

Because of him, who constantly approached at all times, how could she be okay?

“…No. I’m not okay.”

Danya swallowed her words.

It was hard to express herself any further.

Ian took a step back.

Danya, as if entranced, approached him.

“Danya…?”

Ian’s voice was filled with confusion as she lightly pushed him.

She climbed onto his lap as he sat on the ground.

For a moment, their eyes were on the same level.

Through the damp clothes soaked by the river, she could feel his body heat.

— Srrrp

Danya kissed Ian.

She opened his slightly stiff lips with her tongue.

She wasn’t worried that her tongue might feel rough; she was just happy and her mind was blank.

“Mmm…”

She was short of breath from excitement but wanted to savor him more.

Danya rolled her tongue around as if she were playing with a large candy.

Only when she couldn’t hold her breath any longer did she pull away.

“Haa…”

Only then did Danya part their lips.

A single string of saliva stretched like a spider’s web between their tongues.

Their mingled saliva dripped down and touched their stomachs.

It was incredibly arousing.

— Swish

Using that as lubrication, Danya pressed her stomach against Ian’s.

She didn’t mind the wet clothes soaked by the water.

The skin she felt through them was so firm and warm.

She unconsciously let out a soft moan as she felt his hard abs.

“Nyaaa…♡”

Ian flinched.

Danya gently bit his ear.

Then, she pressed her hips closer to his.

Just enough to feel each other more.

As Danya was about to lower herself between Ian’s legs,

“Th-that’s not okay!”

Lina, who had been watching through her fingers, ran over.

She quickly lifted Danya up.

“… Why, Lina?”

Danya, with hazy eyes, tilted her head in confusion.

Lina, holding Danya like a princess, set her down in a secluded spot.

Then she whispered to Danya.

‘You said you wanted your first time with Ian to be when you were fully in your right mind!’

Only then did Danya nod and say, “Ah-.”

“That’s right. I remember now. I asked you to stop me.”

“Exactly!”

“But I’m in my right mind now.”

“Look over there!”

Lina pointed to Ian’s knee.

His knee was sticky.

Unlike other parts soaked by the river, that area was uniquely sticky and shiny.

It was where Danya’s lower body had been.

A sign of her arousal.

Danya’s mind, which had been heated, quickly cooled down.

She lowered her head.

‘Wh-what was I doing…!’

She had tried to satisfy her sexual desire with someone else’s leg.

She was too embarrassed to lift her head.

Yet, her heart continued to race.

‘I wish you would be tamed by me too.

No, just take responsibility.

It’s okay if you handle me roughly.

It’s okay if you put a collar on me and treat me like a dog.’

But.

Danya firmly suppressed her instincts.

She had to endure.

Just a little more.

Just until her heat season ends.

‘I will approach him with genuine feelings, not instincts.’

So she would endure.

Instead.

“I-I was worried about you, Danya…”

The girl in front of her continued to speak.

At first, Danya had been wary of her, but Lina had taken care of her in many ways. Thanks to her, she was getting closer to Ian bit by bit.

“Thank you, Lina.”

Danya approached Lina.

And she kissed her.

“Mm!”

She poured the saliva she had been holding onto Lina, who was flustered.

“Puh-! D-Danya, what are you suddenly…?”

“It’s a reward, Nyah. Ian’s saliva.”

“Uh… what?”

“We agreed to share, remember?”

Slurp.

Lina, whose legs gave out, sank to the ground.

Clench.

Danya grabbed the hem of her pants to suppress her instincts.

Her hands trembled.

◆

The morning of the second day of the promotion battle dawned.

Though only a day had passed, the gap between the top-ranked students and the others had already begun to widen noticeably.

The lower-ranked students were either shivering on the outskirts or dropping out endlessly due to the cold that swept through during the night.

Already, around five hundred students had been eliminated.

This meant that roughly one-quarter had dropped out in just one day.

Meanwhile, the students who had adapted well to the island rose early and headed toward the central island.

As they began to adapt and regain their rationality, they realized that the core of this promotion battle lay in reaching the central island.

“We can’t go through.”

But what they saw were students from Aether blocking the bridge.

“If you want to pass, pay 5 coins per person.”

“Five coins means we have to kill five monsters to earn that many!”

“Just because you’re from Aether doesn’t mean you can do this!”

“Let’s go back and find another way!”

However, the students soon realized.

Ether students controlled all four bridges leading to the central island.

Some, giving up, paid the 5 coins and entered.

But those who couldn’t pay began to gather outside the bridge.

The tension between the students over the bridge leading to the central island continued to rise.

Meanwhile.

Those who had already reached the central island were deep into their hunts.

The center of Volta Island, commonly referred to as the central island, has a basin-like structure surrounded by high hills.

Beyond the hills stretches a vast jungle-like forest.

Dense trees, diverse terrains.

The number of monsters and dangerous species in this area is significantly higher than outside.

— Screeeech!

An orc screamed and collapsed.

The orc was the chieftain of an orc horde.

The male student who had slain the chieftain knelt on one knee to absorb the coins.

Combining the coins obtained from dozens of orcs and the chieftain, he had about 100 coins.

— Clink, clink.

The sound of armor clinking as he stood and walked over to a woman, kneeling before her.

“Please accept these, Saintess.”

The studentt was Dave, a student from the Priest Department and the guard knight of the saintess candidate, Aria.

He offered all the coins he had gathered to Aria, pledging his eternal loyalty.

Other priests also followed suit, handing over their coins.

Aria’s party, consisting of the saintess candidate and three members of the Celeste faction, had only one goal: to ensure Aria’s successful promotion to Aether.

‘All for the sake of the Saintess.’

Dave smiled as he watched Aria’s coin count grow.

If they succeeded in her promotion to Aether, the suspicions surrounding Aria would be alleviated.

‘… Once that person is eliminated.’

No one would be able to obstruct Aria’s path.

As Dave’s thoughts darkened.

— Boom!

The basin trembled violently.

Dave looked up, stunned.

“Oh my God.”

Someone muttered.

A dangerous species, and a Grade 3 one at that, was looking down at them.
