[LU-EL@LIVESTREAM - GODDESS’S VESSEL]

Poru@Ghost: Hey’a! It’s finally the day for the Goddess’s Trial—YEAY!

Poru@Sage: It’s just the preliminary round though, or so Kaori was trying to explain last night while moaning in pleasure.

Poru@Astronaut: Regardless, I’m curious how they’re gonna sort out the good "EGGS" from the bad ones.

Poru@Knight: Maybe a duel using their "SWORD".

Poru@Beast: Or a "handjob-to-handjob" fight—HAHAHA!

Luvira@Goddess: What’s with these indirect conversations? Don’t tell me you’re all running low on R18 intake?—PFFT! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Poru@Ghost: That’s right, Luvira-sama! Cuddling and kissing while they were touching each other last night barely satisfied us!

Luvira@Goddess: Don’t complain to me. Blame it all on our dear Livestreamer.

Poru@Beast: We wanted more R18 content!

Poru@Astronaut: And more Romance!

Poru@Knight: More Action and Adventure!

Poru@Sage: Show us more Magic!

Poru@Undead: Don’t forget to increase the death count of your enemies!

Just hold on to your demands, and don’t you dare put the blame on me, you scammer goddess!

"Is something wrong, Lu-el?" Kaori said, getting Lu-el’s attention upon noticing his anxious look.

Rather than the increasing demands of his loyal viewers, or the goddess testing his patience, Lu-el’s growing anxiety actually came from the crowd of people—numbering in the thousands—that had gathered at the town square, even spilling out into all four directions of the main roads, to watch the opening ceremony of the Goddess’s Trial at dawn.

I guess being a NEET for an entire year has its drawbacks, Lu-el thought while trying to regain his composure and laid-back demeanor.

"It’s nothing, Kaori," he replied, reassuring her.

Still, Kaori could tell Lu-el wasn’t comfortable with the crowd, considering the rumors about Livestreamers being social outcasts who live like nomads.

"Let’s go somewhere less crowded for now," she said, now also growing anxious herself.

From the makeshift stage at the center of the town square, Lu-el and Kaori moved to the edge under the shade of trees.

Looking around, Lu-el once again felt overwhelmed by the crowd, though he felt slightly less anxious now.

Aside from adventurers and soldiers walking around in cosplayer-like outfits, most of the townsfolk were wearing casual modern clothes, which didn’t fit the usual medieval fantasy setting.

What caught Lu-el’s attention most, however, was the number of men wearing gym clothes—shirts, shorts, and sports running shoes—as if they were part of some kind of morning marathon.

Considering he was wearing a similar outfit, with clothes matching the dark blue shade of his still-unkept fluffy hair—the outfit Kaori told him to wear this morning—Lu-el could only assume those men were participants of the Goddess’s Trial aiming to claim the Duchess’s daughter as their lover.

Kaori, meanwhile, was wearing her huntress outfit with her Night Veil choker necklace, along with her Moonlight Beast Fang dagger and Claw knife strapped to each thigh—all while being covered by a full-body hooded robe to avoid recognition. She was even carrying Lu-el’s battle axe on her back to disguise herself as a warrior.

"There are almost over a thousand of us here," Lu-el murmured, catching Kaori’s attention as she stood beside him.

"That should be expected, since there are even participants from all over the kingdom," Kaori said, looking both proud and annoyed at the same time.

"But you don’t have to worry," she added, reassuring Lu-el about passing the preliminary stage.

"More than half of that number will be reduced today."

It only meant there would be some kind of catch or requirement to be revealed at the start.

It would have been more convenient if participants were informed before registering.

But where would be the fun in that?—or so Lu-el thought.

Noticing Lu-el calming down, Kaori proceeded to handle her own concerns.

Although she worried about Lu-el’s safety, and despite the nearby soldiers and adventurers who could help in case of danger, Kaori had no choice but to leave him alone for the sake of her family.

"Just stay here until the opening ceremony begins," Kaori said, handing him his battle axe while holding his hands at the same time.

"Once I’m done with this, I’ll find you and explain everything."

"I’ll wait for you, Kaori," Lu-el replied, giving Kaori a gentle smile as he patted her head—until Kaori leaned forward for an embrace and kissed him before taking her leave, disappearing into the crowd.

Poru@Undead: She’s probably going to prepare for her appearance as the Duchess’s daughter.

Poru@Astronaut: GAAHH—SPOILER!

Poru@Beast: I told you, she wasn’t. Kaori just wanted our dude to get a harem.

Poru@Ghost: Want to make a bet?

Poru@Knight: How about 100 dollars each?

Poru@Sage: Count me in. Anyway, aren’t we going to vote on a quest for winning the Goddess’s Trial?

Luvira@Goddess: BEHOLD—my loyal followers and my dear Livestreamer, I have already prepared a quest for this event.

[Quest 5: Goddess’s Trial]

[Reward: Virgin Elixir (x12)]

[Objective: Win the Goddess’s Trial]

I already saw this coming, but my unfinished quests are starting to pile up.

Lu-el sighed, closing his eyes as he took several deep breaths to gather his thoughts, thinking about Kaori’s real identity—until his survival instinct suddenly kicked in, warning him of danger already standing in front of him.

"Would you like some refreshment, mister?"

Lu-el abruptly opened his eyes as soon as he heard that forced high-pitched voice.

In front of him, holding a paper cup of juice, was an attractive, slender girl of average height with long flowing blonde hair who seemed to be around the same age as Kaori—or so it seemed.

She was wearing casual clothes beneath a white apron, giving her the appearance of a stall poster girl.

Not wanting to be rude or appear suspicious, Lu-el simply accepted the cup of juice and gave an awkward smile, acting as if he wasn’t used to talking to girls.

"Good luck with the Goddess’s Trial," said the girl—or so it seemed—before taking her leave, handing out refreshments to other participants.

"That was a dude in drag, right?" Lu-el murmured once the disguised man disappeared from sight.

"Oh my... you’re quite impressive to see through Quinn’s disguise."

A second voice came from behind him—familiar, undeniably feminine and seductive, and undetectable even to his survival instinct. Not that it needed to detect it.

After all, it came from the girl Lu-el wanted to meet again.

He quickly tried to turn around—only for Sera to hug him from behind, stopping him from turning, followed by a playful but terrifying threat.

"If you turn around and look at me, I might as well kill everyone here in the town square."

"Do you really have to do that, Ms. Sera?" Lu-el said, maintaining his laid-back demeanor—not because he was panicking, but simply to sound cool in front of her.

"That’s making me feel sad. Don’t you remember what I told you before?" Sera replied, tightening her hug, pressing her soft breasts against his back through their clothes.

"That you’re going to take me from Kaori the next time we meet."

"Mhm~... Since you haven’t seen me directly yet, I’m actually being kind and not taking you from her while she’s gone."

Lu-el was confident he could escape Sera using his enhanced strength if she truly tried to take him.

However, keeping everyone around them safe from her threat would be beyond his capabilities, considering how strong Sera was.

Regardless, escaping or being taken were not Lu-el’s main concern at the moment.

What overshadowed those concerns was his growing arousal as Sera slipped her left hand over his body, while her right hand slid under his shorts and began caressing his already massive erection.

"By the way, I still haven’t known your na—"

Before Sera could finish, Lu-el turned around, surprising her as she saw his eyes closed, keeping to her condition of not looking at her directly.

But what caught Sera completely off guard was when Lu-el sealed her lips with a kiss.

Their kiss quickly turned intimate and passionate.

His left arm wrapped around her waist, lifting her so her heels barely touched the ground as he gently pressed her against the tree they were sheltering under—all while keeping the cup of juice in his right hand.

She responded eagerly, wrapping her arms around his shoulders, asking for more—which he gladly gave by pressing his massive bulge against her soft belly through their clothes.

"You can call me Lu-el, Sera," he said once their lips parted to catch their breath, only to devour her lips again before she could respond.

They continued their passionate display without concern for the glancing eyes of bystanders—not that Lu-el could see them anyway—until he felt Sera’s body trembling, signaling she had reached her orgasm.

Lu-el wanted to climax as well. But before he could decide whether to finish in his shorts or go all the way with Sera in public, she pushed him back.

Although her trembling hands could barely free her from his embrace, Lu-el gently released her while keeping his eyes closed.

"Having second thoughts about switching sides now?" he teased, feeling her hug him again as he caressed her back with his left hand.

"Not really," Sera replied, resuming her caresses on his rod inside his shorts. "But I’m more motivated to make you mine and mine alone."

She continued, but the moment she felt him about to climax, she suddenly stopped and slowly backed away.

"Sera?" Lu-el murmured, feeling conflicted that she hadn’t let him finish.

"That’s it for my greeting, Lu-el." she teased. "If you want more, come and take me like you said."

"Are you sure you can wait until then?" Lu-el teased back.

"Then maybe I’ll come visit you again sometime. Anyway, you can open your eyes now."

Lu-el opened his eyes as told, but she was gone—or so he thought—until Sera whispered again from behind him:

"By the way, you better not drink that juice unless you want a painful erection that lasts for an entire week."

"What the heck is that trap making the other participants drink?"
