The day after Fina and I had our little heart-to-heart, we headed deeper into the village. Honestly, I was still adjusting to the whole "no clothes" thing. People were walking around like it was the most normal thing in the world—completely naked, all carefree, their bodies swaying in the breeze. And here I was, still fully dressed, looking like I had just walked into a completely different dimension.
"So, this festival... The Festival of Freedom?" I asked, trying to take my mind off the nakedness around me. "What's it all about? Seems like everyone's pretty... free here."
Fina's tail flicked behind her as she gave me that mischievous look again. "Oh yeah, it's all about freedom, Allen. Freedom from the usual stuff. No clothes, no inhibitions. Just pure, unfiltered fun."
I blinked, trying to process that. "Freedom from clothes? So... everyone's just... naked?"
She smirked, her ears twitching slightly. "Pretty much. But it's not just about the lack of clothes. It's about shedding all the rules, letting go of all that... shyness. You'll see soon enough."
I was starting to get the picture, but I wasn't sure how comfortable I was with it yet. Fina, on the other hand, seemed perfectly at home. She was completely relaxed, walking through the village like it was the most normal thing in the world, her bare skin glowing in the light of the bonfires.
As we entered the village square, the scene around us looked like something out of a dream—or maybe a very strange nightmare. The air was thick with the scent of roasted meats and the smoke of the bonfires, and the entire place was alive with music and laughter. But more than anything, there were bodies—people dancing, laughing, embracing each other, and just... living without a care in the world. And the best part? Nobody seemed to care about my existence as the only clothed person in sight. I felt like a walking, talking oddity.
Fina, noticing my discomfort, glanced over at me. "You okay, Allen? You're looking a little out of place."
I nodded, trying not to stare at the dancing people around us. "Yeah, just... not used to this. Back home, festivals didn't exactly look like this."
She raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What did they look like?"
I scratched the back of my head. "Uh, you know... fireworks, food, games. Clothes."
Fina laughed, her laugh like a melody in the night air. "How boring."
"Hey!" I protested, though I couldn't help but laugh too. "Clothes are important!"
She grinned and tugged me toward a table with bowls of steaming food and pitchers of drink. "Well, here we don't need clothes. Or anything else, really. Trust me, you'll get the hang of it."
I had my doubts, but I followed her anyway. The food was surprisingly good, and I was grateful for something to distract me. Still, my attention kept drifting back to the festival. The people were dancing, their bodies moving with an energy I wasn't used to seeing. It was... a little overwhelming. Especially when a woman's body brushed past me as she twirled, her chest fully exposed and the smile on her face daring me to look.
"Relax, Allen," Fina said, her voice teasing. "This is just how we do things. No need to stare too hard."
I groaned, my face turning a shade redder. "It's just... it's a lot, okay?"
She leaned closer, her voice low and almost teasing. "You're not in Earth anymore, Allen. You're free to let go of those little Earthling hang-ups. This is our tradition."
I looked at her, half-confused, half-curious. "What do you mean, let go?"
She winked at me, her tail swishing playfully behind her. "Oh, you'll see. The games are about to start. And trust me, they're not just about dancing. Things get... personal."
I wasn't sure what she meant, but just as I was about to ask, the crowd erupted in cheers. The music picked up, and a new energy filled the air. The festival had officially begun.
Fina squeezed my hand and gave me a mischievous smile. "Come on, let's go. It's your turn to join in."
I followed her into the crowd, where a circle had formed around a small stage. People were gathered, laughing and talking excitedly, clearly waiting for something. My heart was racing, and I was starting to feel the heat of the night.
As Fina tugged me toward the center of the circle, she leaned in close to my ear. "Don't worry, Allen. You'll enjoy what's about to happen. Just... try not to get too distracted."
I could feel the warmth of her breath on my skin, and my nerves flared again. "What do you mean by that?"
She grinned, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You'll see soon enough. Just... relax. The festival is about freedom, after all."
I was about to ask more questions, but then I saw what was happening in the circle. A few villagers were starting to dance in the center, their movements becoming more sensual with each passing second. The music was slowing down, the tempo almost hypnotic, and the crowd was cheering louder.
Fina leaned into me, her body almost pressing against mine as she whispered, "This is just the beginning, Allen. The real fun starts when the games begin."
And I had a feeling she wasn't just talking about dancing anymore.
The night grew hotter. The fire crackled, the drums thundered, and the moaning?
"Aaah~! Haaahn~! Don't stop~! Mmm~!"
Allen felt his face turn a shade of red that was somewhere between embarrassment and absolutely dying inside.
Fina, casually munching on a fruit, didn't seem fazed. In fact, she seemed extra casual about it, like she was a seasoned festival-goer who'd been at this sort of thing for years.
"Those two really get into it," she said, nodding toward a pair of villagers rolling around in the dirt nearby.
Allen turned slowly. The couple, completely oblivious to their audience, was making noises that made Allen consider whether or not he could truly ever look at another human in the eye again.
"Mmmm, yes~! H-Harder~! Fill me up~! Aaaah~!"
"Ahhh~! I-I'm gonna— NNNNGGHH~!"
Fina nodded approvingly. "See? That's dedication."
"I need therapy," Allen muttered, his face a perfect shade of crimson. "Like, professional therapy."
Fina raised an eyebrow. "Oh? You don't like the sounds?"
"NO! I—well, maybe just a little—but why do they have to be so loud?!"
"Because," she said, her voice casual, "they're celebrating mating. Loudly. All night. This is a festival, Allen."
"HNNN~! Ughh~! So good~!"
At this point, Allen was seriously questioning his life choices. He swore he could feel the vibrations of their moaning on his skin. But before he could start imagining other sounds, Fina leaned closer, her voice playful and teasing.
"Speaking of celebrating... I bet you could join in."
Allen blinked at her. "What?"
Fina looked over her shoulder, gesturing to the couple. "They were doing it in the open. You could, too. If you wanted."
Allen sputtered. "What? You're—uh, what?"
Fina gave him a mischievous grin. "I mean, not like right here… but you do have a big advantage, don't you?"
She was pointing at his groin, and Allen's brain malfunctioned for a moment. He was trying to look casual, but it was hard to look casual when you had a new magical power that made you feel like you were a god in a loincloth.
"Alright, alright!" He threw his hands up. "Fine!" He turned to Fina, clearly flustered, "But, uh, how about we go somewhere less... public?"
She laughed. "Not like anyone cares. Most people here are too busy mating to notice."
"Mmmm~! Yesss! Haaaaah~!"
Allen froze again, looking toward the sound. A woman was practically shouting in ecstasy as her partner thrust away underneath a nearby tree. Her voice was loud, breathy, and so intense that it felt like it was drilling into Allen's soul.
Fina shrugged. "That's Kina and Baer. Kina's pretty good at... vocalizing her pleasure."
The woman in question had her arms above her head, fingers spread wide, her mouth open in an almost animalistic shout as her hips bounced in time with Baer's thrusts.
"Aaaah~! Mmm~! I want it so bad! Hahh!"
Fina grinned. "Oh, you've been watching her for a while now, huh?"
Allen whipped his head around so fast he almost got whiplash. "I—I was not watching her! I—uh—was, uh, listening! Yeah, I was listening to the sounds of nature!"
Fina rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right. You're a real nature lover."
"Shut up," he muttered, fighting a blush that only intensified as the moaning from Kina became louder and more desperate. It was like every sound was designed to mock his entire existence.
Then, with zero warning, Fina pointed at the scene, casually like she was pointing out a cute puppy.
"Allen, meet Kina and Baer," she said. "They're one of the top mating couples. You could learn something from them, if you—"
"OH GOD YES! NNNNGGH~!"
The sounds of raw, unfiltered pleasure filled the air like a wave of pure hot mess, and Allen barely registered Fina's words as he tried to focus on something—anything—other than that.
Fina's tail flicked as she grinned at Allen, clearly enjoying his flustered state. "I mean, you've got the skill to keep up, right?"
"Skill? What skill?!" Allen practically shrieked.
She pointed at his loincloth, grinning ear-to-ear. "That skill, you know—the one that makes things grow bigger. Come on, Allen, you're packing heat, literally."
With a resigned sigh, Allen couldn't help but laugh nervously. "Alright, alright, but only if I get to keep my pride intact, okay?"
Fina raised an eyebrow. "Pride? In this village? You're gonna need more than that, my friend."
Before Allen could respond, Fina's teasing took an even more daring turn. "Tell you what—if you really want to impress me, just go ahead and make it a little bigger, again. Make it really something to look at."
Allen blinked. "You mean... now?"
She gave him a knowing wink. "Why wait? The festival's still young."
He looked around. The couple was still going at it, their noises only growing louder by the second, while Fina casually stood by, waiting.
Allen sighed again. "Fine. Here goes nothing."
He closed his eyes for a moment, muttered a few words under his breath, and once again activated the Penis Enlargement skill, this time putting a little more oomph into it. A tingle ran down his body, and within moments, he felt that familiar warm sensation—growth. He tried to act cool, but his confidence was quickly rising to unhealthy levels.
[Skill Activated: Penis Enlargement Lv.2]
Effect: Even bigger than before. Ego: Unmeasurable. Side effects: "Confidence boost to max."
Fina stared at him. "Damn. You weren't kidding."
Allen, now with more confidence than a man should have in public, stood tall. "What did I tell you?"
She grinned, her tail flicking with excitement. "You just made tonight way more interesting, Allen. Maybe I'll take you up on that offer later."
