༻﹡﹡No One’s POV﹡﹡༺

  
In fact, most beasts have never seen fire. Beasts are naturally afraid of fire, and even after evolving into orcs, they still harbor a deep-seated fear of it.

Mikey is one of the few orcs who has witnessed fire’s powerful, destructive force firsthand. After all, fire was the cause of losing someone he cherished deeply.

“Do you really have to use fire?”
Mikey asked, looking into the eyes of the small female.

“Um… Yeah,”
Takemichi replied slowly.

“I’ll take you to find fire,”
Mikey said, helplessly picking Takemichi up.

“Can’t we just drill wood to make fire?”
Takemichi asked.

“Drill wood to make fire? How do you do that?”
Mikey looked at Takemichi with confusion; this was the first time he had heard of such a method.

Takemichi’s eyes lit up as he spotted two branches and began to rub them together. Despite his efforts, after a long time of rubbing, his palms were almost worn out, and he still couldn’t produce even a small spark.

Frustrated, he thought, ‘It’s all a lie on TV! It doesn’t work! Movies and commercials are all fake!’

He threw the stick aside, pouting and feeling embarrassed by his failure.

Mikey stared at his own palm.

“Don’t bother, I’ll take you to find fire,”
he said, distress evident as he licked his palm.

Takemichi blushed at the sensation of Mikey’s warm tongue.

“Aren’t you going to the Wolf Tribe?”
Takemichi asked, trying to change the subject.

“Yes, we’ll go to the Wolf Tribe first. After the witch doctor heals you, I’ll take you to find fire,”
Mikey said, excitement in his eyes as his face nearly turned cat-like.

“I’m not sick or anything, so I don’t need to see a witch doctor,”
Takemichi protested.

“If you weren’t sick, why did you suddenly faint before?”
Mikey asked, making Takemichi unable to answer.

He couldn’t very well admit he was stunned by Mikey, could he?

“Don’t be afraid; just let the witch doctor see you. Whether you’re sick or not, you are my female, and I’ll take care of you for the rest of your life,”
Mikey said, hugging Takemichi, who froze at the unexpected embrace.

The words ‘you are my female’ echoed in Takemichi’s mind.

“Wait, what?!”
Takemichi shouted, causing Mikey to look at him in surprise and confusion.

“Is something wrong?”
Mikey asked, worried about his little female.

“Yes, there is!”
Takemichi exclaimed, his voice trembling.

“I’m not a female!!”

Mikey was stunned into silence.

“Eh?”

“Eh?! Eh?! Eeehhhh??!! You’re not a female?!”
Mikey could hardly believe it. How could someone who looked so delicate and beautiful be male?

“I’m a male, dude. I’m sorry, but I’ve been a guy since birth,”
Takemichi said, patting the disheartened Mikey.

“It seems you mistook me for a female… but I don’t look like one, so how did you come to that conclusion?”
Takemichi asked, confused. But Mikey didn’t respond.

The silence between them was palpable, and Takemichi grew anxious.

‘Did I really shock him that much?’
he wondered, glancing at the blonde, whose face was hidden by his hair.

‘Is he angry because I’m not a female? Oh God, is he going to eat me now that he knows I’m not a female?!’

Mikey remained motionless, and Takemichi panicked. Maybe he shouldn’t have said anything!

Suddenly, Mikey grabbed Takemichi’s shoulders, forcing him to face him. Takemichi flinched at the forceful gesture.

Afraid to look, Takemichi closed his eyes, only to be shocked when he felt warmth on his lips. It was soft and slightly wet, and as he opened his eyes, he found Mikey’s black eyes locked onto his, their lips touching.

Mikey was kissing him.

Takemichi’s eyes widened in shock as he felt Mikey’s hot, wet tongue seeking entry. He was frozen, unable to react as Mikey bit his lower lip, making him open his mouth in pain.

Taking advantage of the opening, Mikey slid his tongue inside, exploring Takemichi’s mouth. Takemichi tried to push him away, but Mikey held him tight, not letting him escape. Takemichi struggled to breathe as Mikey’s kiss continued, marking Takemichi’s first kiss in such an intense manner.

After a while, Mikey finally released him. Takemichi collapsed, gasping for air, while Mikey looked at him with satisfaction.

“Neh, what’s your name?”
Mikey asked, lowering his head and gently holding Takemichi’s chin.

Takemichi was still dazed.

“T-Takemichi… Hanagaki,”
he said breathlessly.

Mikey scanned him from head to toe, a blush forming on his cheeks and a smirk playing on his lips. It was clear he was in love with the “little female” (male).

“Hmmm… I see, Takemitchy!”
Mikey said, and the nickname “Takemitchy” brought Takemichi back to his senses.

“Takemitchy??”
Takemichi questioned, confused by the name.

“That’s what Mikey said, so that’s what’s right… Takemitchy,”
a deep voice said from behind Mikey.

Mikey’s eyes widened as he looked at the person behind him, who was slowly becoming visible from the bottom up.

“Wahh! Ken-chin! Why are you so late?”
Mikey asked the tall figure holding a basket of food.

The tall, muscular figure with blonde hair and a black dragon tattoo on his head handed the basket to Mikey. It was filled with fruit.

Mikey took the basket and returned to Takemichi, who was still dazed and processing what had happened.

“Neh, Takemitchy, here’s some food! You can eat if you’re hungry,”
Mikey said, squatting down and placing the basket on Takemichi’s lap with a cheerful grin.

“Just tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you,”
he added.

Takemichi’s eyes widened.

Mikey then hugged Takemichi, patting his head comfortingly, as if he knew Takemichi needed it. It had been a long time since Takemichi felt this kind of care.

But then…

“Neh, Takemitchy~ from now on, you’re my bitch—I mean, male! <3”
Mikey declared, shocking both Takemichi and the tall figure.

The tall guy looked at them both, wondering,

‘Just what the hell happened while I was gone?’
He sighed deeply.

“Next!”
a man called out.

A line of beasts waited to pay for their purchases. After a long wait, it was finally the tall guy’s turn. He walked up to the counter, placed his items, and paid. Once done, he quickly left the market in the Wolf Tribe.

“Ugh, so much stuff!”
he grumbled, struggling under the weight of numerous sacks and baskets.

Suddenly, a lilac-haired man ran up to him.

“Draken! Wait!” the lilac-haired man called out, panting as he reached Draken.

“What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at the base?”
Draken asked, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

The lilac-haired man looked at him, nervous.

“Well, it seems we have a bit of a problem…”

Draken frowned.

“What’s going on?”

“The Fairy Tribe suddenly wants to hold an emergency meeting,”
the lilac-haired man explained.

“They’re panicking and want it as soon as possible.”

Draken’s expression grew serious.

“Mitsuya…”

Mitsuya, the lilac-haired man, nodded in understanding.

“I’ve already contacted them and informed them about the delay.”

Draken’s face relaxed slightly.

“This is the first time I’ve seen them act like this. It must be important.”

Mitsuya glanced at Draken, both of them sharing the same concern.

“I agree. If they’re calling an urgent meeting, something significant must be happening.”

Draken’s expression turned thoughtful.

“I’m sure it is. They wouldn’t call a meeting this hastily without a good reason.”

“I’ll contact Mikey,”
Draken said firmly.

“You go ahead. If we’re not there in time, start the meeting without us. I need you to lead the gang in our absence.”

Mitsuya gave Draken a serious look.

“I trust you. I’ll handle things.”

Draken added,

“I’m not trusting Baji with this. I know he’ll create unnecessary trouble.”

Both men recalled the chaos Baji had caused during a previous meeting in the Snake Tribe, where he had accidentally burned down a house, causing trauma and losing homes for some of the tribe members, all because he was hungry.

Mitsuya swallowed hard and nodded.

“Understood.”

With that, Mitsuya and Draken parted ways. Mitsuya headed towards the Fairy Tribe, while Draken made his way to find their president.
  

.◠ . ◠ . ◠ . ◠. ◠ . ◠ . ◠ . ◠. ◠ . ◠ . ◠ . ◠  

 
Draken saw his president talking to a small, delicate-looking figure, though he could only see the person’s back.

What shocked him most was what he heard next: his president was kissing the person, and not just any kiss—he was forcing it.

Draken was stunned.

His president, Mikey, was kissing a male, not a female.

What the hell…

Draken froze, unable to tear his eyes away from the scene unfolding before him. He watched as Mikey held the small male, who struggled to break free.

After a moment, Mikey pulled away. The black-haired male fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

“Hm… I see… Takemitchy!”
Mikey said, though the so-called Takemichi seemed lost in thought.

“Ta… Takemitchy?”
he repeated, unsure if he had heard the nickname correctly.

It seemed Takemichi was not pleased with the nickname, but Mikey had already decided to use it.

“W-wait, that’s not my—”
Takemichi started to protest, but Mikey cut him off. Draken couldn’t help but notice how adorably flustered Takemichi looked, despite being male.

‘What the hell is wrong with me? Am I affected by Mikey’s actions?’
Draken thought, cursing under his breath.

Draken suddenly felt a flush of embarrassment and quickly hid his face, hoping it wasn’t too obvious. It might work on Takemichi, but not on Mikey.

Mikey noticed Draken’s reaction and sensed that something significant was about to happen—whether it was a storm brewing or something else, he couldn’t quite tell.

(#simpAlert! 👁️👄👁️).

Takemichi’s parents died when he was a child, leaving him to live with his grandparents. Although they cared for him, their love couldn’t replace what he had lost. In their final days, he felt abandoned, finding solace only in the photos of his parents as he cried alone under the covers.

After his grandparents’ deaths, Takemichi was left without family support. None of his relatives took him in, leaving him to navigate life alone.

Despite having four loyal childhood friends, Takemichi was reticent about his feelings and past, which left him feeling incomplete.

The lack of affection had made him both sensitive and insecure. He feared he would never find love and was resigned to growing old alone—except for his close friends.

Mikey’s words were the warmest Takemichi had ever heard.

“Don’t be afraid, just let the witch doctor see you. Whether you’re sick or not, you are my female, and I will take care of you for the rest of your life.”

These were the first words of such unwavering care and affection Takemichi had ever received. Though initially hesitant, he couldn’t resist the comfort Mikey offered and allowed him to embrace him.

“Well then! Let’s go to the wolf tribe!”
Mikey said excitedly. He then remembered he had forgotten to introduce Takemichi to Draken.

“Ahem! Did you forget something?”
Draken raised an eyebrow, clearly aware of Mikey’s lapse.

‘Damn it!’
Mikey thought, cursing inwardly.

“Oh! Did I?”
Mikey said, feigning innocence.

Draken approached Takemichi, who appeared nervous and avoided eye contact.

‘T-t-t-tall! So s-scary…’
Takemichi thought, inching back slightly.

Draken, familiar with Mikey’s tendencies, recognized Takemichi’s discomfort.

‘Am I really that scary?’
Draken wondered, feeling unexpectedly dejected.

“Hanagaki Takemichi, right? Takemitchy?”
Draken asked, scanning the small male.

“Y-yeah…”
Takemichi replied.

Draken smiled, while Mikey grew impatient, regretting asking Draken to fetch food and follow him.

“Ken Ryuguji, known as Draken. Nice to meet you, Takemitchy,”
Draken said, trying to flirt with the oblivious Takemichi.

‘Eh… This guy seems nice!’
Takemichi thought, beginning to warm up to Draken.

“Yeah, nice to meet you too,”
Takemichi said, offering a smile that left both Mikey and Draken captivated.

Mikey, visibly annoyed by Draken’s interaction with Takemichi, crushed the wild boar he was holding in frustration.

“E-enough! Let’s head to the tribe now, Takemitchy~”
Mikey said, pulling Takemichi away from Draken.

“A-ah, okay,”
Takemichi replied.

Mikey shot a warning glare at Draken, indicating he should stay away from Takemichi. Draken merely rolled his eyes. Mikey handed the wild boar to Draken, then transformed into a large, blonde, winged lion, carrying Takemichi on his back.

Draken chose to run rather than transform, confident in his speed. They encountered wild beasts but ignored them, focused on their journey.

Takemichi, remembering his task from the system, hesitated before asking Mikey,

“Can I have two animal skins, if it’s okay?”

Despite not fully understanding the request, Mikey and Draken agreed. They hunted and skinned five beasts, carefully preparing the hides for Takemichi.

Mikey and Draken seemed to compete for Takemichi’s favor, although he remained unaware of their rivalry.

Draken watched with satisfaction as Takemichi held the animal skins happily, while Mikey glared at him in frustration.

“Is this enough? If not, I can help you hunt more beasts,”
Draken offered warmly, causing Takemichi to smile.

“These skins are enough,”
Takemichi said, shaking his head.

Noticing the bloodstains and wounds on Mikey and Draken, Takemichi felt a mix of guilt and gratitude. He helped clean the blood from their faces and tended to their wounds.

“Thank you,”
Takemichi said shyly, blushing as he looked away, embarrassed.

This was the first time Takemichi had initiated such contact. Mikey was overjoyed, hugging Takemichi and rubbing his head affectionately.

Draken, feeling a mix of embarrassment and regret for missing the chance to hug Takemichi, watched with a pained expression.

“You are my male, my Takemitchy. I am willing to do anything for you. You never have to say thank you,”
Mikey said, enjoying the closeness.

At first, Takemichi was embarrassed but soon grew accustomed to Mikey’s affection. Draken, observing Takemichi’s reaction, felt jealousy and confusion about his feelings.

Mikey sighed, contemplating what might happen if Takemichi met his other friends and family.

“Go and wash up,”
Takemichi suggested, pushing Mikey’s chest. The scent of blood was strong, and there was no water source nearby. Draken could only use clean leaves to clean himself.

As Takemichi spoke to the system in his mind, he confirmed the completion of his task:

‘I have collected enough animal skins.’

The system no. 438 responded:
  

“Confirming completion of the novice task.
Issuing novice gift bag.
Please pay attention to the host!”

  
A cloth bag appeared out of thin air. Takemichi opened it to find a thumb-sized wooden stick filled with tinder and a sheepskin book titled

“Encyclopedia of Ancient Animals and Plants.”

The encyclopedia recorded the characteristics and uses of various animals and plants, which would greatly aid Takemichi in identifying useful resources for his future needs.

Takemichi carefully stored the items and, when Draken returned, noticed a small cloth bag on Takemichi’s back.

Takemichi seemed nervous about its origin, but Draken and Mikey only smiled, intrigued by the little male’s secret.

Mikey transformed into his winged lion form and continued on his way with Takemichi on his back, followed by Draken, both eager to uncover more of Takemichi’s secrets.

Author’s Note:
  

Damn! Draken made quite the entrance, and let’s just say it was at the wrong time, place, and scene. Even though Mitsuya and Takemichi didn’t meet, Draken’s appearance in this chapter was definitely a highlight!

By the way, did anyone notice someone from the harem mentioned earlier? If you did, leave a comment with “👨🏻” and an emoji matching their hair color! For example, “👨🏻🔴.”

If not, no worries!

I hope this chapter isn’t too confusing, and I apologize for any errors. Let’s dive into Chapter 5!
