Catgirls And Dungeons (Yuri)-Chapter 165: Quiet moments

Lucky for me, my dulled senses don't mess with the important stuff. Sure, I can't quite catch Eris's addictive pheromones anymore—those sweet, head-spinning scents that used to make my knees weak. But the feeling? Oh, it's still a wild, heart-pounding, out-of-this-world ride!

So, after a few more rounds of steamy, toe-curling sex, I'm done for, literally done for. My limbs feel like jelly, my head's all fuzzy, and I'm sprawled out like a starfish on the messy bed, totally spent.

Meanwhile, Eris, that smug little gremlin, just grins and tugs me up to the inn's rooftop, her hand warm in mine.

And now, up there, the night sky hits me like a slap of magic. It's the same as always, but damn—hundreds of stars twinkle like they're throwing a party up there, each one sparkling in pinks, blues, and golds. And the moon is as usual too, always a freaking beast, so huge and glowing it looks like someone plopped a giant wheel of cheese in the sky, daring us to take a bite.

Hehe, hehe…

I can't help but giggle at the thought whenever I look at the moon.

Nom nom nom, lunar cheese!

And the stars? Aren't they like some kind of sparkling candies?

As we sit there chilling, a chilly breeze swirls around us, nipping at my ears and making my tail fluff up. It's colder than last night, but we're prepared. Eris pulls me under a thick, fuzzy blanket, and we snuggle close, her warmth seeping into me like a cozy hug. My tail curls against her side.

Aaaahh~

So comfortable!

She's so warm it's unfair!

In my hand, I've got a steaming mug of hot chocolate, so loaded with sugar it's basically liquid candy now.

Meanwhile, Eris holds a plain cup of warm milk, her fingers curled around it.

"Hehe, sooo, how's that butt of yours holding up?" Eris asks, her voice dripping with that smug, teasing tone that makes my fur bristle. Her eyes glint under the starlight, all mischievous and way too pleased with herself.

"ERIS!!!!" I screech, my face going red, hot enough to rival my poor, abused butthole!

I puff out my cheeks, pouting so hard my lips might pop.

I mean, yeah, I… kinda enjoyed her, uh, treatment earlier, but… Eris going that bold? Eating my butt like it's the tastiest treat in the world? Damn! I'm still shook! "You're the WORST!"

"Hehe, don't worry, kitten," Eris purrs, leaning closer, her grin wicked. "If it flares up again, I'm always ready to lend a… helping tongue." She winks.

My brain short-circuits.

"NO THANK YOU!" I yell, flailing my arms, nearly sloshing my hot chocolate. My tail flicks wildly, smacking her thigh.

Okay, real talk: it sucks that food tastes like cardboard now, thanks to my messed-up soul energy. But compared to a butthole that feels like it's hosting a volcano? Bland food wins, hands down, in a heartbeat!

"Aww, too bad!" Eris cackles, her laugh all bright and evil. She sips her milk, smirking over the rim like she's plotting something.

"Hey!" I snap, narrowing my eyes. "Quit laughing at my pain!" freewёbnoνel.com

"Well, I'm not the one with a flaming butthole, haha!" Eris roars, doubling over, her milk sloshing dangerously in her cup.

"ERIS!!!!" I screech again, my cheeks burning so bad I'm probably glowing redder than the moon. This girl! She's pushing all my buttons, and she knows it!

Alright, that's it. She wants war? I'm unleashing the ultimate weapon: CATGIRL TICKLES!

"HEYAAA!" I pounce, my fingers diving for her sides, where I know she's stupidly ticklish. "Take THIS! Tickle tickle tickle!"

"AAA! NO! STOOOP!" Eris squeals, her voice hitting pitches I didn't know she could reach. She thrashes under the blanket, laughing so hard her milk splashes onto the rooftop. "FELICIA! I'M SORRY! MERCY! PLEEEASE!"

"Hmph!" I slam my mug down, smirking like a villain. "LIKE HELL I'LL LET YOU OFF THAT EASY! TICKLE TICKLE TICKLE!!!" My fingers are relentless, dancing across her ribs, and Eris is a giggling, flailing mess, tears streaming down her face.

"STOPPP! I CAN'T—HAHA—BREATHE!" she chokes out, trying to squirm away, but I'm too fast, pinning her with my catgirl agility.

And just like that, I unleash the helliest tickle attack in history!

A storm of wiggling fingers that leaves her begging for surrender!

Finally, I relent, and we collapse in a heap, sprawling across the rooftop, panting like we just battled a dragon. My chest heaves, my tail's all fluffed up, and Eris is still giggling, her hair a total mess.

"Huuu…" I wheeze, staring up at the stars, my heart racing but happy.

——————————-

A few minutes later, the tickle war finally over, I let Eris pull me back into her arms, my heart still racing from all the laughing. Her embrace is warm, steady, like an anchor in the chilly night. I nestle closer, resting my head on her shoulder, my fluffy catgirl ears brushing against her cheek. The blanket drapes over us, soft and heavy, cocooning us in our own little world. I breathe in, catching a faint hint of her scent—something warm and earthy, even if my dulled senses can't quite savor it like before.

I tilt my head up, my eyes tracing the stars above, while thinking about all the things that happened.

"So much has happened in just a few days…" I murmur, my voice barely a whisper, almost swallowed by the cool breeze that rustles my hair. My sugary hot chocolate sits heavy in my hand, the mug's warmth seeping into my fingers, its syrupy steam curling under my nose. Even if it tastes faint, it's comforting, like a hug in a cup.

"Yeah," Eris replies, her voice soft and warm. Her arm tightens around me, pulling me closer until I can feel the steady thump of her heartbeat against my side. Her tail flicks under the blanket, brushing my leg, and I can't help but smile.

My mind drifts, swirling with everything that's gone down. Honestly, never in my wildest dreams did I picture my life like this—like I'm the hero in some crazy, high-stakes adventure game, speed-running through levels I'm nowhere near ready for.

In just two days after my reincarnation and meeting Eris, she already confessed to me, and we became lovers.

Then, the very next day, we plunged into the dungeons.

One. Freaking. Day.

It's insane!

My chest tightens just thinking about it

It hits me hard, it makes me realize how precious this moment is.

Just sitting here with Eris, wrapped in this fuzzy blanket, watching the stars glitter and life drift by…

Just silence, safety… and peace.

Her warm milk cup rests against her thigh, the faint steam rising like little ghosts in the moonlight. I want to freeze this second, bottle it up, keep it forever. I want Alter and Morvena to have moments like this too, where they can just be, without the weight of the world crushing them.

But… deep down, I know the truth. We're not out of the woods. Not even close.

"It's like we're in the eye of a storm, isn't it?" Eris says, her voice low, almost a whisper, like she's plucked the thought right out of my head. Her eyes are fixed on the stars, but there's a weight in her words, a quiet understanding that makes my heart ache.

"Yeah…" I nod, my tail curling tighter against her. My chest feels heavy, like a stone's lodged there.
