Everyday Life with a Humanboi (Chapter 7)

Setting the table with Kora felt indescribably wonderful. After two days I was finally able to do normal things for a change (and while clothed!). Interestingly, the table was square but only two sides opposite to one another had any chairs. As Hippa brought the large wok to the center of the table on top of a thick placemat, my manticore caretaker and I sat next to one another. The centauress herself sat at one of the ends of the table devoid of chairs and placed down her rear end while leaning on her front equine legs. Then it made sense: the empty ends were for Hippa and her mom since they didn't need chairs. Interesting.

As I reached for the serving spoon in the wok my hand was swatted (whacked, really) by Kora as she clasped her paws together and bowed her head, closing her eyes. Looking over to her sister I saw the same prayer pose with Hippa clearing her throat with shut eyes. I immediately mimicked them to be safe. Hippa then spoke aloud,

"Eternal Mother,
We thank thee for thine sustenance,
May the fruit of thine earth and the flesh of its beasts nourish us just as thou nourished our forebearers,
May it give us the strength to persevere and the wisdom to decide what is right,
In thine name, Lady Echidna, we doth pray.
Amen."

"Amen," Kora repeated.

"Uh-! A-Amen," I stuttered, surprised by all of this. When I raised my head and unclasped my hands, I saw Kora giggling into her paw as Hippa blushing with a smile that she was trying to suppress.

"What?" I blinked.

"You don't get it, do you?" Kora snickered.

"Get what...?" I could feel my heart race in my nervousness.

"Sister, cease thy teasing, he doth come from a different world, after all," the elder sister sighed with a pleasant expression.

"Wait, you knew about that?" I asked.

"I told Sis about what you said last night," Kora winked. "But anyway, the joke here is that a human just prayed to Echidna."

"So...?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Sir Nishino," the centauress explained with a slight snicker herself. "In the legends of old, humans were creatures who plagued the descendants of Lady Echidna, until one day when she imprisoned them all in Tartarus for eternity. It is said that those who commit great sins are forever tormented by those humans deep in Tartarus."

"Whoa...Really?" I felt pale at the mythology of this world.

"According to western tradition," Kora smirked. "Other religions have their own legends of humans and how their deities feel about them. Like I said, nowadays most monsterfolk view humans as myths. Still, the irony here is hilarious," she snickered.

"Ah, I see," I laughed. "I get what you mean, that would be like devils praying to God in my world."

"Why devils?" Kora gave me a quizzical stare.

"And which god?" Hippa also raised her eyebrow in confusion.

"Uh, that's a long story," I forced a chuckled. "I can tell you two all about that later."

"Kazuma's right," Kora shrugged. "Let's dig in!" She went for the serving spoon.

"Ahem-!" The elder sister coughed with a stern glare at the manticore girl. The younger sister had frozen in her pose as she hesitantly looked over to me and blushed a bright pink before sitting back down with her paws in her lap.

"Eh-heh," Kora laughed uneasily as she scratched her cheek meekly. "Sorry, forgot my manners. You go first, Kazuma. Guests get first dibs, and whatnot."

"Oh, um, thanks!" I gulped as I decided to take up the offer. "I smelled stir-fry, so I guess that's what we're having," I said absently after scooping a nice glop of noodles, peppers, onions, carrots, and what must have been beef. I then realized that their family was pretty well off if they could afford this much beef in a single meal!

While I was the guest I made sure not to pile too much on my plate before letting the sisters get their helpings.

Both of the monstergirls just stared at me, worried expressions on their faces.

"Eh-What's wrong...?" I asked with uncertainty.

"That's all you're getting?" Kora gave me a strange look. "Do humans have slow metabolisms or something?"

"Please, take more for thyself," Hippa urged me like a mother, smiling but still uneasy in her gaze.

"Um, are you sure?" I blinked. "I mean, I am hungry, but-"

"Stop being stubborn. You need to rebuild your stamina!" Kora declared angrily as she picked up the spoon and plopped more onto my plate, easily doubling the serving. Then another scoop smacked atop the already mountainous pile of delicious-smelling noodles, veggies, and mouth-watering meat!

I was scared...and yet happy at the generosity.

"There~," Kora mewed as she finally started to serve herself. "Eat up, Kazu," she beamed. "We got a whole other pan of the stuff if you need seconds."

"Another- OH MY GOD!" I looked over behind Hippa to see a large, identical wok still at the stove. How did I not notice there were two?! I felt somewhat mortified and humbled at the feast. Not needing any more motivation I dug right in, experiencing a mouth-gasm the likes of which my tastebuds had never felt!

The noodles were plump and perfectly soft! So moist! So hearty! And yet not too filling with the oily sauce that drenched every inch!

The peppers gave my mouth tingly, addicting prickles of heat with their juicy crunch and satisfying flavor! Not too hot but still the right amount of kick to keep you  asking for more!

Then there were the onions! Crisp with the right amount of tenderness with a mildly sweet taste to complement the savoriness of the other ingredients!

Next were the carrots, firm and moist with the right amount of crunch with their mellow sweetness adding to the mix!

But lastly, there was the beef! I had steak on a few occasions, but none as tender and juicy with a salty hint to water my mouth the whole way through! Was this fillet mignon?! I was convinced it had to be with how easily it melted in my mouth, not a hint of chewiness  whatsoever!

"K-Kazuma...?" I suddenly heard Kora as she tenderly grasped my shoulder with her warm paw, turning my attention to her while my mouth was still stuffed like a hamster's.

"Mefth...?" I asked as I chewed some more and swallowed half of my mouthful.

"Are you alright...?" She asked with a gut-wrenchingly sad expression, her voice breathy and filled with concern.

"Yeth. Whoy?" I gulped the rest down.

"Then why dost thou cry...?" Hippa asked with a maternal tone of worry.

"Huh? I'm not-" I felt my face and found tears had been running down my previously ballooned cheeks. "Huh, guess it was that good."

Both sisters blinked in unison at my remark.

"It's the food, Hippa," I smiled back warmly. I've never had food this delicious in my whole life. I guess these are tears of joy," I pointed to my eyes with a goofy grin. "You're a helluva cook."

Hippa's long equine ears flapped up and down uncontrollably as her eyes bulged and her face went beet-red. She stared at me in silence, her ears wiggling madly as her flushed face began to sweat at her brow. Finally, the centauress looked to the side and nervously fidgeted with her hands semi-clasped.

"Th-Thank you..." she stammered in a hushed, embarrassed tone.

"Uh, you okay there Hi- OW!" I yelped as Kora pulled my ear with her paw for a moment. "Geez! What was that for?!" I demanded.

"Idiot." The manticore girl huffed with an annoyed expression. "Just eat."

"What? Is complementing the chef bad manners in this world?!" I asked, confused at both sisters' respective reactions.

"S-Sister, leave him be," Hippa finally managed to say with a deep breath. "Thank you...Sir Nishino," she finally looked to me with her flushed face. "I am most pleased that thou hath taken a liking to my cooking thus far. Now, please feast to your heart's content."

"Y-Yeah," I nodded as I decided to take both monstergirls' advice and fill my belly.

As I supped, Kora piled the same massive amount of food onto her plate, avoiding my gaze as she ate in silence. When it was the older sister's turn I paused, staring in curiosity at Hippa serving herself no differently than her stepsister. I then asked,

"Hippa, you eat meat?"

"What?" She looked over to me with surprise. "But of course. Why would I not?"

"Uh...-Ahem!-" I coughed. "I guess the...legends of centaurs in my world are wrong. They always depict your people as being herbi-...vegetarians." I felt my pulse pick up as both sisters looked at me strangely.

"I...I see..." the centauress blinked. "I suppose such tales art based upon centaurs being part equine?"

"G-Guess so."

"Ah, I see. But nay, my people have a long tradition of eating meat. 'Tis what giveth strength and stamina to us," she added with mild pride.

"R-Right! Makes perfect sense!" I immediately nodded. "How silly of my kind for making such assumptions. Sorry," I then turned to my meal and ate in silence and shame. Once more, I'd unintentionally stereotyped monsterfolk. The girls might have liked me but I couldn't afford to keep thinking monstergirls were all like in the manga I'd read or in the anime or games either.

"Sir Nishino," Hippa broke me from my feeding-trance. "I take no offense from thine comment."

"You don't?" I asked meekly, thankful still.

"Yes. Truly there is much for you to learn of our many cultures, just as these three days my sister and I have learned much from thou of the human race. Worry not, there will surely be many surprises for us all whilst thou stays in our care."

I heaved a relieved sigh with a smile.

"You're right," I nodded. "There's lots to learn between all three of us, right Kora?" I turned to the manticore girl.

"Yep," she answered plainly while still eating, never even glancing towards my direction. "I'm learning all sorts of stuff about you every day, Kazuma. Yes indeed." Her cold response sent a chill down my spine.

"Sister-" Hippa began but was cut off from Kora lifting her plate upwards to dump her meal down her throat quickly. As soon as it began she then placed her dish on the table and clapped her paws.

"I'm stuffed," she said with such a vapid tone before getting up. "Thanks for lunch, Sis. I'm gonna nap for a bit." And with that, Kora strode off to her room with a quick pace before either of us could do anything.

The older sister and I looked to one another in disbelief at what had transpired. Setting her utensils down, Hippa sighed as she gave me a nod in the direction of Kora's room before saying,

"I shall put the food away for later. Please go speak with my sister," she gave me a distressed but calm look.

Gulping, I walked nervously to the younger sister's door and knocked hesitantly.

"Tryin' to sleep here!" She grumbled from within.

"It's me," I responded.

Silence only came from the doorway.

"Look, if you need to talk, I'll gladly listen and-"

The door opened wide as Kora glared at me with tearing eyes.

"Listen?! You're fucking blind at what's right in front of you! You have SHIT perception of what's going on, and yet you want to console me?! Huh?!" She fumed with fire in her misty eyes.

"What-? Look, just tell me-" I took a step back in surprise but was cut off.

"Figure it out, HUMAN!" Kora snarled angrily as she slammed the door hard. I felt my insides twist at all of that. Seeing Kora so pissed and yet so sad made me want to go in a corner and just die. But it was what the venom in her tone at referring to me as a human, as if she now really thought I was an inferior life form. That alone felt worse than anything.

I'm not sure how long I stood there, staring at the door that had a small plaque reading "Kora's Haven" in ornate calligraphy. But at some point it all hit me, or at least I thought I had figured it all out: Kora really liked me. I was her ideal guy in terms of species, but maybe love at first sight existed even here too. I had thought her advances were just lust, but lust wouldn't make her act this way on its own.

Grabbing the doorknob stiffly I twisted it open and flung the door wide as I marched right into the very room I first arrived in, towards the bed.

Kora was shocked by my sudden entrance, blushing with tears still pouring down her light-tan cheeks as she attempted to protest and yell at me to leave. But anything she said went in one ear and out the other for me as I pounced her, gripping her furred wrists as she struggled. Leaning on her upper body I drove my lips into hers as I tried my hardest to kiss her forcefully, my tongue invading her mouth as her moans of protest reverberated in her throat while I sucked the breath out of the monstergirl.

Struggling, Kora grew weaker in my grip until I finally parted from her face, both of us panting loudly. Looking at her sternly, I saw Kora both terrified and aroused as she gasped, no longer resisting as she still cried.

Lunging again, I saw my partner shut her eyes tightly while hesitantly puckering her lips. But our lips did not lock a second time, This time I had dove into her shoulder and bit her.

Hard.

I heard a shriek of surprise that melted into a panicked moan as I tasted the ferrous, hot fluid from the small breaks in the skin I left, lashing my tongue at the crimson liquid before kissing softly but audibly at the minutely-bleeding area and trailed my osculations down to her collarbone. Letting go of the wrists I took the offensive and yanked Kora's shirt up as I began kissing lower towards the soft, jiggling mounds of tan-cream flesh while the manticore gave quick squeaks of pleasure at my attacks.

I still don't remember what she might have said, my mind was so focused on what I realized she wanted more than anything all this time. I'd give her what she wanted, that was certain.

I felt her paws grip my head and painfully dig her filed-blunt claws into my scalp. I could feel my cranial skin almost break, Kora marking me in her own way as I went to her breasts. Her bosom was soft, just like when I first woke up in her bed the other day, my fingers sinking into her hot flesh that was just the right size for me to grip so much of at once.

Massaging the mounds, I could recall my partner moaning in a feline-fashion as her claws gripped my head less and less. Kissing her sternum I made my way to her left breast, up to the bright red peak. Kora yelped, her throat purring like a mix of a human moan and feline yelp trapped in her throat while her lips were shut tight. I didn't bother with being gentle, I was in such a rush of heat and adrenaline that I bit her teat briefly before suckling it fiercely. Gnawing on the stiff protuberance I mirrored the attention with my left hand as it assaulted the monstergirl's other tit. This time a low but loud meow escaped her mouth as Kora's hands gripped my shoulders this time, digging into my muscles yet unable to draw blood as I alternated in attending to her chest.

Her bosom rising up from her back arching, Kora gasped in adorable cries of pleasure until I abruptly stopped and sat up, staring down at the young monstergirl as she tried to catch her breath.

Puzzled and frazzled, Kora tentatively asked,

"W-Why did...you stop...?" I didn't need to answer verbally as I yanked my shorts down, my stiff member bouncing up and down from the movements as it stood parallel to my stomach.

Staring at my crotch, Kora gulped as her hips wiggled uneasily. Biting her lip with flushed cheeks, Kora gave me a sheepish, submissive look as she shakily undid her hotpants as I sat over her on my knees. When she had removed her garment I could see that she had decided to go commando that day as her pussy was in full view for me to see.

I had failed to catch a glimpse of my partner's crotch the day we assaulted Hippa in the bathroom, but I was pleased at having the chance now.

A small, straight tuft of red hair identical in texture and color as those upon her head sat above her slit's corner just half an inch upwards, the hairs soft and uniform in a patch smaller than the width of a golf ball. Below the small bush the nether lips were plump and smooth, the skin without freckles or blemishes as it lacked any hints of color difference with the rest of her light-tan skin. Her aroma from the soaking pussy was heavy, intoxicating. Fruity yet pungent it made my dick stiffer than ever as I backed up and directed it towards the steamy entrance.

Then Kora held up her purple paws with a nervous, "W-Wait!"

I paused, looking up to her face. Kora's ears had wilted as she had begun to cry again.

"D-Don't..." she began hesitantly. "Don't f-fuck me outta pity, okay? If you...if you do this...you're gonna have to leave my sister alone. Doing this...means you're serious about..." she shut her eyes as she sniffled.

Leaning forward, I gave a soft kiss to Kora's tear-streamed cheek before looking into her eyes as they flew open in surprise.

"This isn't pity..." I said with whatever bravado I still had. "But it isn't love. I mean, I like you both but...Look, I'm shut-in NEET with an unhealthy obsession with monstergirls. If you're fine with being with a loser like me then-"

I was cut off as Kora lunged at my face, wrapping her arms around my neck as her breasts pressed into my flat chest. This time she overpowered me as her sandpaper tongue fought hard with mine, tasting my mouth's walls as she sucked out my breath. I started to grow weak as my body grew limp in her grasp before wrestling with me a moment until I was pinned by the manticore as she sat atop my belly.

I was confused, startled at the change of positions both physically and sexually. Kora's lips curled up into a sick grin, her eyes crazed as she hurriedly brought her tail over to reveal it was still encased in the odd protective gear from earlier. With a click it opened like a clamshell as she discarded the casing without any regard for where it landed. I then saw that bulbous, spined tail-pussy as the mouth opened like some sand worm from science fiction, the broiling-hot juices dripping onto my chest as she willed the appendage to my dick. Before I could protest or make any significant movements to hinder the act, I felt my penis engulfed in a red-hot, slippery, and tight channel that coiled around the entire length with soft yet firm flesh that undulated upwards slowly.

I gasped without breath at a sensation like I had never imagined. This was impossibly hotter, wetter, and more pleasurable than Hippa's mouth or pussy. A fire spread from my penis downwards into my balls, then my gut, and before I knew it the pleasure had permeated my entire being. It was as if I was totally swallowed inside the tail. My body was one big erogenous zone synchronized with my dick. I felt comfort, excitement, pleasure, and above all else, desire. Kora was moaning in a predatory fashion now, no longer at my mercy. The tables had turned, and I had become the bottom.

Pulse after pulse of raw erotic sensations rippled throughout my body as I jumped under the monstergirl who only stared at my with a slutty yet sadistic smile as she fondled her own bosom while she ground her hot nethers against my stomach, lubricating it with her copious fluids.

Our movements were in perfect rhythm: my squirms, her tail-fucks, and her gyrating hips that only made my lower torso wetter and messier. I could already feel my entire body twitch within as my cock erupted sweet release that made me feel like my very life force was being drained, quivering as Kora's lips opened wide and her face in shock as her yellow eyes rolled back at the same moment her tongue hung loose from her agape mouth.

Falling forward, Kora embraced me as her body shook with mine and we both moaned from the mutual assault to our senses. Her tail thrashing while still milking me, it finally flung itself off with a loud, wet popping sound as it flipped over to the side. Exhausted, we both laid there in our afterglows as our skin-to-skin contact conducted our body heat. My dick had become flaccid and shrunken again, my body sweating profusely just like Kora's.

My thoughts were garbled in a pink haze as I lost consciousness, my partner's gasping breath the last thing I could hear.

-Epilogue-

As Kazuma followed after the younger sister, Hippa sighed as she placed the wok back on the stove and retrieved a lid for both pans. She tensed as she heard her sister snarl at the human boy, her heart sinking. But what truly made her jump was the sound of her sister yelping in protest.

Hippa headed out the kitchen but froze at the sound of Kora moaning. The elder sister drew in her breath sharply through her nose, sniffling.

'I can't...' she began to weep softly. 'I can't do this anymore...I have to let them be...'

Solemnly, Hippa finished with the kitchen and walked by her sister's room softly, her chest pained by the erotic voice of her sibling being pleasured. Entering her own room, the centauress looked over to her desk with her resting apparatus.

She was behind on her processing work for her mother's family affairs. At first Hippa was elated when she heard ten years back that she would be accepted as a legitimate heir in the Basilequos family despite her mother's half-centaur lineage. Were it not for the fact that no other daughters were born to her centaur biological grandfather before his untimely demise, Hippa and her mother would have likely been ostracized from the family still, forever shunned from the family due to a Hippa's maternal grandmother being an ogre that had an affair with Hippa's maternal grandfather.

Due to her half-breed status, Hippa's mother was allowed to have one child with a centaur male and no more. The family refused to accept Hippa as a legitimate member unless her mother were to offset her poor breeding with a marriage to another man of status outside of the centaur aristocracy to strengthen political alliances. If it was done, Hippa would be allowed the opportunity to breed and would attain true family status.

Thus, when Rohana Basilequos remarried Kur Mantic, a member of an upstart capital investment firm from the Middle East working on Japan, the Basilequos family eventually accepted Hippa as a true heir. They began tutoring Hippa in managing trade transactions, negotiations, and various rules and ettiequte for being a proper heiress. But lately, being responsible for family paperwork of the most mundane functions made the centauress feel as if she was a part of the family in name only.

She had known for years she would be bred into the family with the male cousin that broke her in only recently, but she was having her doubts about even going through with such responsibilities.

It was truly disgraceful to her faith to let a loathesome creature like a human steal her heart away. Yet she could not erase the uneasy pounding of her heart the boy gave her. Setting aside his remarkable existence, he seemed like a truly benevolent creature and could make a fine husband even.

But as a noble centauress, Hippa would never have a husband in the more common sense of the word. Her mate would only breed with her yearly and she would be relegated to live in a female-dominant household when she would move into the Basilequos estate in a year or two.

But the past three days were like nothing she could have comprehended. Kazuma had shown her something she had never felt like she deserved from a partner: kindness. They were only friends technically, but she had given so much of herself to the human boy and received such warmth in return that for the first time in her life, Hippa wondered if it really would be so bad to forsake the affluence and prestige of her kind to be a commoner with a true marriage.

But the one thing that was stopping her was a greater love: love for her step-sister. The shut-in girl was terribly awkward with the opposite sex, too obsessed with her anime and manga husbandos to care for flesh and blood partners. She was doomed to a life of mediocrity and seclusion at the rate she was heading at. But for her too, Kazuma had brought hope for the delusional otaku. Perhaps this was a blessing from Echidna herself to Kora. It warmed Hippa's heart that her sister was finally finding happiness.

And yet it also brought pain to the centauress for being denied the same joy by being responsible and dutiful to her pre-planned future. With a tearful sigh, the elder sister went back to her paperwork and tried to let it absorb her mind, stealing it away from the painful thoughts.
