Limitless Evolution Through Conquering Primal Beauties-Chapter 26 - Kicked Out

Leonard woke with a lingering sense of horror clinging to his entire body.

His eyes opened slowly, and the first thing he saw was the familiar thatched ceiling. Neatly woven straw, several wooden beams supporting it, moonlight slipping through the gaps in the walls. Borami’s house.

Yet the memory of that battle was still vivid in his mind.

The giant boar monster with four terrifying tusks. His body being pierced, torn apart, eaten alive. The unbearable pain when those tusks ripped through his flesh, when those sharp teeth crushed his bones. He could feel it again now just by remembering it.

Leonard shivered.

He sat up and ran his hands across his body. His chest, stomach, arms, legs—everything was intact. No wounds. No pain. There were not even scars. His skin was smooth as if he had just been born.

’Regeneration,’ he thought.

But even though his body had healed, something inside him could not recover so quickly. The unbearable pain of having his body crushed and eaten alive had rooted itself in his mind. He could still feel it and imagine it. And every time that image appeared, it made his skin crawl.

What disturbed him even more was himself during that moment.

He did not recognize himself.

The savage side that appeared, the blazing anger, the madness that drove him to keep attacking even while his body was being destroyed. Where had all of that come from? He had never known he had a side like that. For more than twenty years in his old world, he had been a quiet man who preferred to be alone. Yet somewhere inside him there had been something capable of exploding like that.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

The past. In his old world. When he was still in middle school. A group of bullies once cornered him behind the school. They took turns beating him, kicking him, insulting him with harsh words.

And Leonard, despite being outnumbered and smaller, did not give up. He kept fighting. He kept getting back up even after being knocked down again and again.

Maybe that side had always been there. It had simply been buried.

He let out a long breath, trying to calm himself. His eyes drifted around the room, searching for something that could distract him from those terrifying memories.

And that was when he saw her.

Borami.

The cow woman was sitting beside his bed. Her large and beautiful body was now curled into an uncomfortable position. Her head leaned against the bed, her hands folded in her lap.

Her face was half hidden behind her folded arms. Her beautiful black and white hair hung slightly messy, a few strands falling over her cheeks. Her large chest rose and fell slowly in the steady rhythm of sleep. The moonlight that slipped through the cracks in the wall illuminated part of her body.

Leonard felt warmth in his chest.

His eyes continued to observe Borami with a feeling he could not quite explain. The curved ivory horns growing from between her hair. The furry cow ears on the sides of her head that twitched occasionally, even in her sleep. Perhaps a reflex from hearing sounds around her.

Leonard wanted to touch them.

He realized that he had always loved cute animals. In his old world, every night before sleeping he would stroke Lulu, his beloved golden retriever. It was calming and helped him fall asleep. Now, seeing Borami’s twitching ears, the same urge appeared.

But touching without permission was not polite.

He struggled with his thoughts.

’She is sleeping. Maybe she will not notice. If she does not notice, then it should be fine, right? Besides, when will I ever get another chance like this? This might be the only opportunity.’

He looked at Borami again. She was still sleeping soundly, showing no sign of waking up.

’Ah, but if I get caught...’

His thoughts spun in circles. On one side he knew it was wrong. On the other, the temptation was too strong.

In the end, temptation won.

Carefully, Leonard reached out his hand. His index finger approached Borami’s horn with a slow movement that barely made any sound. The tip of his finger touched the surface of the horn.

Hard. Solid. Yet smooth. Like polished stone.

Leonard traced the curve of the horn with his fingertip, feeling its unique texture. There was a strange sensation, something that made him want to keep touching it.

After satisfying his curiosity with the horn, Leonard moved to his true target.

The ear.

He touched it gently, almost as if he were touching a soap bubble that might burst at any moment. The soft fur on Borami’s ear felt like the softest silk he had ever touched. Leonard stroked it slowly, feeling its unique shape. Wide at the base, tapering at the tip, with beautiful natural curves. The inside was thinner and more sensitive, with faint veins visible beneath the surface.

Borami’s ear twitched slightly when touched. A natural reflex.

Leonard quickly pulled his hand back. His heart pounded in fear of being caught. He held his breath and waited.

But Borami did not wake up.

She simply flicked her ear once, as if brushing away a fly, then became still again.

Leonard let out a relieved breath.

Then he continued.

He stroked and touched, enjoying the soft sensation. It felt just like when he used to pet Lulu. Pleasant and calming, something that made him want to keep doing it forever. There was a kind of inner satisfaction that was hard to explain, like rediscovering something he had lost long ago.

Without realizing it, Leonard began speaking in his mind. Then he whispered quietly.

"Finally... I can finally touch them. Ever since I first saw you, I have wanted to do this."

His hand continued to gently stroke Borami’s ear.

"I do not know why, but your horns and ears... they made me curious. They looked soft. Like they would feel nice to hold. And it turns out I was right."

He smiled faintly and continued whispering.

"Sorry, Rami. I know this is not polite. But I really could not resist. You are sleeping here beside me without any guard. That is too tempting."

Leonard chuckled softly to himself. It felt like a child sneaking candy.

Suddenly a screen appeared in front of his eyes.

[ Borami’s Affection: 54% ]

Leonard froze. His hand stopped mid stroke.

’It increased? Now?’

He looked carefully at Borami. She was still sitting in the same position, her head lowered, her face half covered by her hands. But Leonard noticed something different.

Her breathing.

It was no longer as slow as before. The rhythm had changed slightly.

’She... she is already awake?’

That was the only explanation that made sense. Borami must have woken up when he started touching her ears. But why was she pretending to sleep?

Leonard thought quickly. Should he stop now? Pull his hand away and pretend nothing happened?

But on the other hand, Borami was not stopping him. She was still pretending to sleep.

Which meant... she allowed it? Or at least did not mind?

Leonard decided to continue. But this time with more confidence.

He began stroking Borami’s ear again, his touch more deliberate. His fingers combed through the soft fur while tracing the curve of her ear slowly. Her ear twitched in response to every touch.

"Rami," he whispered softly. "You are really careless, you know. Sleeping near a man like me without any guard. Are you not afraid?"

He chuckled quietly.

"You are beautiful, Rami. Your face, your hair, your smile. Everything. But what I like the most about you is not just your appearance. It is your heart. You are very kind. From the moment I arrived here in such a mess, you did not reject me. You took care of me. You gave me food. You gave me a place to stay. You even listened to my story without judging me."

His hand moved to Borami’s hair, gently stroking it strand by strand while he unconsciously poured out his feelings.

"You do not know this, Rami, but you have already made me feel... at home. In this strange world, in a place I do not know at all, you are the only person who makes me feel safe."

[ Borami’s Affection: 55% ]

[ Borami’s Lust: 30% ]

Leonard saw the increase and smiled.

"I like your body too," he continued softly. "I mean... you are sexy, Rami. It is hard to look at you and not think about things that... well, you know." He laughed awkwardly. "But beyond all that, what I like the most is still your heart. You are sincere. You are kind. You never asked anything from me in return."

[ Borami’s Affection: 58% ]

[ Borami’s Lust: 33% ]

Leonard continued stroking Borami’s hair and ears.

"Thank you, Rami. For accepting me. For going through the trouble of taking care of a stranger like me. I promise that one day I will repay all your kindness. Maybe I am still weak and useless now, but I will try."

He smiled.

And in the middle of that smile, he noticed something.

Borami’s face, hidden behind her hands, had turned red. Her cheeks now carried a faint pink color visible between her fingers. Her breathing had become slightly faster.

Leonard was about to continue speaking when Borami suddenly moved.

She stretched her arms, rolled her shoulders, and lifted her head with an exaggerated motion like someone who had just woken up. Her honey brown eyes opened and looked at Leonard with an expression that was difficult to read.

But her face was red. It was obvious she had been pretending to sleep.

Leonard quickly pulled his hand back and sat up straight, trying to look innocent. But he knew it was too late.

"Leo," Borami said, her voice slightly hoarse as if she had just woken up. "You are awake."

She rubbed her eyes and yawned lightly, trying to look like someone who had just woken from deep sleep.

"How do you feel?" she asked.

Leonard answered quickly, still a bit nervous.

"I am fine."

Borami nodded.

Then suddenly she said, "My ears... felt strange earlier. Like someone was touching them."

She looked at Leonard suspiciously, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Leonard froze.

His mind raced.

’Should I lie or tell the truth? I should lie first and see her reaction.’

"No," he said. "I did not do anything."

[ Borami’s Trust: 46% ]

Leonard saw the screen and panicked.

"Wait, I mean..." He let out a long sigh and gave up. His face flushed with embarrassment. "Sorry. I actually touched your horns and ears while you were sleeping. I am really sorry."

[ Borami’s Trust: 50% ]

Borami sighed, and Leonard could see a hint of relief in her eyes. Maybe because he told the truth. But she put on a cute sulking expression. Her brows furrowed, her lips pouted slightly, and she looked at Leonard as if pretending to be angry.

"Leo," she said, trying to sound firm even though her cheeks were still red. "Do you know that is not polite? Touching a woman’s sensitive parts without permission?"

Leonard lowered his head, feeling guilty.

"Yes, I know. I am really sorry. I... I could not resist. It was... too adorable."

Borami opened her mouth to scold him, but those words made her lose her train of thought. Her face turned even redder. She looked down, unable to look at Leonard.

Silence filled the room.

Awkward.

Neither of them spoke. Only the sound of the wind outside and the creaking of the wooden house could be heard. Several minutes passed in heavy silence.

Leonard looked at Borami, who was still staring down.

He could see the tips of her ears turning red. Her hands in her lap were nervously squeezing the edge of her leather skirt.

Finally, Borami looked up.

Her expression had changed. It was no longer awkward or shy. It was serious.

"Leo," she said. "There is something I need to tell you."

Leonard looked at her, slightly worried by the serious tone.

"What is it?"

Borami took a deep breath. Her eyes met Leonard’s directly. There was something heavy inside them. Leonard could not tell exactly.

"Sorry," she finally said.

"It seems... you have to leave this house."

Leonard was stunned. He had not expected that at all.

His eyes widened.

"You mean... you are kicking me out?"

Borami nodded slowly.

"Yes."
