＜解放＞ Liberation

sign here for final approval:

僧: Signed.

月:Signed.

天: Ok, got a pm from 味 that he has to delay his revision a little, so I'll close this for the time being. Four to go and one step closer to beta testing.

味: 味 says he thinks this is pretty much good to go, I just talked to him not too long ago.

天: :P

Komi: Good afternoon, gentlemen. Translation please: "ランが潤んだ瞳で俺を見る. "

天: Hi Komi, once again many thanks for paying so much attention XD I really don't know why those sentences slipped through my fingers.

The translation would be: "Ran looks up to me with teary eyes."

Liberation

''[僧: Fixed this one up as well. Looks like Rick really is intending to abandon his little bro.]''

''[僧: Went through a second time. Had a word replacement toward the end that some other people might want to take a look at, but it's nothing too crucial. Unless someone finds something else, I think we can close this one.]''

【リック】「今日の料理は、すごかったね」

【ラン】「奮発しちゃったからね」

晴れて村を歩けるようになったランは少し足を伸ばして、村の市場で色々買ってきたらしい.

おかげで今日の夕飯は、いつもより豪勢なものになった.

ナップなんて食べ過ぎて、早々に部屋に引きこもってしまった.

Rick: "Today's dinner was amazing."

Ran: "It took me a long while to make after all."

Now that Ran can walk around freely in the town, it seems like she decided to take a stroll through the local shops.

Thanks to that, today's dinner was a lot more luxurious than usual.

Napp ate far too much and quickly retired to his room.

【ラン】「はい、シナモンミルク. 熱いから気をつけてね」

ランが湯気の上るカップを俺の前に置いてくれる.

ランも、同じようにシナモンミルクを作って椅子に座った.

Ran: "Here comes your cinnamon milk. Watch out, it's hot."

Ran sets the steaming mug on the table in front of me.

She also made one for herself and sits down at the table.

【ラン】「ねぇ、散歩に行かない？　今日は満月よ」

【リック】「散歩か・・・」

窓から外を見てみると、ちょうど満月になった二つの月が空に浮かんだ所だった.

【リック】「じゃ、これを飲んだら、外に行こうか」

【ラン】「ええ」

Ran: "Say, how about we go out for a walk? We got a full moon tonight."

Rick: "A walk...?"

Through the window I can see two of our moons floating high up in the sky.

Rick: "Alright, let's finish our milk and go out, ok?"

Ran: "Ok."

外は、月明かりで、いつもより随分と明るかった.

青白い光が川に反射して、あたりを照らしている.

【ラン】「気持ちのいい夜ね」

ランはそう言って、清涼感のある夜の空気を吸い込んだ.

The moonlight was brighter than usual.

The snow white light reflects in the river water and illuminates the scenery.

Ran: "What a beautiful night."

As Ran says that I take a deep breath of the clear cold night air.

【リック】「ホント. 来てよかったよ」

ランは俺より前を少し離れて歩いていた. 俺は、ランに追いつくように少し歩幅を広げる.

【ラン】「リック」

【リック】「どうしたんだい、ラン. そんな改まっちゃった顔して」

彼女の横に並んだ俺にランは少し俯きながら俺の名前を呼んだ.

Rick: "You're right. I'm glad we came here."

Ran walks a little in front of me. I make some wider steps to catch up to her.

Ran: "Rick?"

Rick: "What's the matter Ran? Why such a serious face?"

Ran looks at the ground next to me and calls my name.

【ラン】「散歩にね、リックを誘ったのには　訳があるの」

【リック】「訳？」

【ラン】「うん・・・、その、あのね、　リックにちゃんとお礼がしたくて」

【リック】「お礼？　俺、なんかしたっけ？」

Ran: "Inviting you to this walk you see, that was just a pretense."

Rick: "Pretense?"

Ran: "Uh huh..., um, you see, I wanted to thank you properly Rick."

Rick: "Thank me? Did I do something?"

【ラン】「私、リックに会えて変わることが　できたわ」

ランは、俺より前に出て、くるりと尻尾をしならせて振り返る.

【ラン】「あなたに会うまでは、私、何もかも　あきらめてたわ. けど、あなたに会ってから　生きることに希望が持てるように　なったもの」

ランが空を見上げた.

Ran: "After I've met you Rick, so much has changed."

Ran takes a few steps away from me, then turns on her heel, her tail swinging around her.

Ran: "Before meeting you I had given up on everything in my life. But ever since we've met I once again have the wish to keep on living."

Ran looks up to the sky.

【ラン】「リック. どうして私が尻尾を隠してるか　知ってた？」

【リック】「ううん、知らないけど」

【ラン】「私、お母さんはザパトの出身だけど　お父さんはバストークの生まれなの. だから、私の尻尾はお父さんに似て　ふわふわの尻尾なの」

Ran: "Rick. Do you know why I keep my tail wrapped up all the time?"

Rick: "Um no, I don't know why."

Ran: "I was born to a woman from Zapat, but my father was from Bastok. And so, my tail is just as fluffy as my father's was."

ランが自分の尻尾の布の結び目に手をかける. しゅるりと布がほどけ、ランの尻尾が初めて露わになる.

ふわふわの尻尾の先が風になびく.

【ラン】「ふわふわの尻尾だからって、ザパトでは　よくいじめられてたわ. 縞の尻尾じゃないってバカにされるのが　イヤで、ずっと隠してたの」

【リック】「そうだったのか・・・」

Ran opens the knot at the cloth that's covering her tail. The cloth falls to the ground and for the first time I can fully see Ran's tail.

The fluffy fur on the tip of her tail waves in the night air.

Ran: "Because of my fluffy tail I was teased a lot in Zapat. And since I hated it so much that I was always made fun of for not having stripes on my tail, I started to hide it."

Rick: "So that is why..."

【ラン】「でも、変わるわ. リックは、私に自分の道は自分で　切り開かなきゃいけないって　教えてくれたわ. いつまでも、自分を隠してちゃいけない. ふわふわ尻尾とか縞尻尾とか関係ない　私はラン＝タンだもの」

ふわり、とランの過去を覆っていた布が風に舞う.

Ran: "But that has changed now. Rick, you have taught me that I have to open up a new way for myself. I can't hide myself forever. It's not important if I have a striped tail or a fluffy one, what's important is that I am Ran Tern."

Gently, the cloth that kept Ran's past hidden, dances in the night breeze.

【ラン】「リック、私ね、バーナーに　追いつめられたとき、　リックとなら、このまま一緒に　死んじゃってもいいって思ったの. どうしようもなくって、絶体絶命で　でも、リックと死ねるのなら、　きっと私幸せだって思ったわ」

ランはそれをまるで思い出話のようにくすりと笑いながら言った.

Ran: "Rick, you know, back when we were cornered by Bernar, at that time I thought, that I wouldn't mind dying as long as I would be with you. I didn't know what to do, I was in a total mess, but if I could die with you, I would be happy."

Ran chuckles as she recalls those memories.

【リック】「い、一緒に死ぬ、だなんて. 俺はランを助けるつもりで、　ザパトの村まで行ったんだぜ？」

【ラン】「だって、まさかあんな仕掛けが　待ってるなんて思わなかったんだもの. でも、今は死ななくてよかったって　思ってる. 生きててよかったなって、　リックとこうして、またお話しできて　よかったなって思ってるの」

Rick: "D... die with me? I wanted to save you Ran, I came all the way to Zapat for that, didn't I?"

Ran: "But, that was just because I didn't think you would have come up with such an incredible plan. Now I'm glad that I didn't die. I'm glad that I'm alive, I'm glad that I can talk to you again Rick."

【リック】「それは俺も同じさ. ランを助け出せてよかった. ランを守ることができてよかったよ. だって、ランは俺にとって　大切な人・・・んぐ」

そこまで言いかけて、不意にランが俺の唇を塞いだ.

Rick: "That's just how I feel. I'm glad that I went to save you. I'm glad that I was able to protect you. Because, Ran, you are important to m... hmm!"

That's as far as I can speak before Ran makes my lips stop.

暖かくて柔らかい感触のソレは、ランの唇だった.

ランが唇を離し、俺の瞳を見据える.

【ラン】「私にとっても大切な人だわ. 私、子供の頃からあまり幸せだって　思ったことなかったの. けど、今は思えるの. 私、幸せだわ」

もう一度、唇を重ねる. 俺はキスをしたままランを抱き寄せる.

Warm and soft, that's how Ran's lips feel against mine.

Ran takes her lips away and looks deep into my eyes.

Ran: "You are important to me too. Ever since I was I child I never felt truly happy. But now I feel it. I am happy."

Once more she presses her lips against mine. As we kiss I take Ran into my arms.

俺とランは、いつの間にか、どちらが言うともなく、初めて出会ったアモレアの花畑に来ていた.

月夜に花びらが舞う. 甘い匂い. アモレアの匂い.

するりと地面にスカートが落ちる. 露わになる、ラン. ランの匂い.

Me and Ran, without realizing it, without either of us saying a word, have come to the amorea field where we first met.

Petals dance through the moonlit night. A sweet scent. The scent of the amorea.

The skirt slipping to the ground. Ran's naked body. Her scent.

同じように、服を脱ぐ. 身体中が風に触れる. 少し冷たい風.

ランの手が俺の手に触れる. 温かい、温かい手のひら.

お互いに衣服をつけないまま身体をまさぐりあう. 唇にキス. 首筋にキス. 柔らかな胸にキスをする.

I take my clothes off just like her. I feel the wind stroke over my fur. A little cold.

Ran grabs my hand. So warm, her palm feels so warm.

Our bare bodies press against each other. I kiss her lips. Her neck. Her soft breasts.

''[天: Note to self. from here on foreplay sex scene.]''

[月: I dislike this. I'd prefer the pictures than the wording and pictures, because to be honest the cornyness of the sexual words ruins the mood and the story a little but heh, but we gotta stick to the text v.v. Can't wait till the finished versions out and the whole story has pics.

【ラン】「ひゃんっ・・・」

咲き乱れる花びらの中に二人の身体をうずめる.

俺は、ランの身体を甘噛みする.

【ラン】「ひやぁ・・・」

ランの口から、か細い喘ぎ声が漏れる.

Ran: "Hiyan-..."

Among the amorea in full bloom we entwine our bodies.

I playfully bite into Ran's right breast.

Ran: "Hiyaa..."

Ran breathes a faint moan.

お腹の毛をゆっくり撫でて、その手で、ランの下腹部をまさぐる. そこはねっとりと蜜に溢れていて、指を這わせると、いつの間にか、まるで吸い込まれるように奥のすぼまりを愛撫していた.

【リック】「ラン・・・」

俺にとって大切な人の名前を呼ぶ.

With one hand I slowly stroke over the fur on her belly and then slip that hand down between her legs. She's all wet down there, overflowing with sweet nectar, she lets me stick a finger inside and before I know it, it's like she's pulling it deeper inside, gently squeezing and caressing my finger.

Rick: "Ran..."

I speak the name of that girl that has become so important to me. [天: Literally it's just "that important persons name" but this was it's kind of a reference to the previous chapters I think.]

【ラン】「リック・・・」

俺の名前を呼ぶ口を俺の口で塞ぐ. 唇を吸い、舌を這せ、互いに絡み合わせる. ぬるりとした感触と、のどの奥から溢れる吐息を感じる.

Ran: "Rick..."

She speaks my name, I make her lips stop with mine. I suck on her lip, I stick my tongue inside, she entwines her tongue with mine. That slippery feeling makes both of us let out a deep moan from our throats.

【ラン】「んん・・・、んふう・・・」

【リック】「んはぁ・・・、んん・・・」

ただひたすらお互いを求め、敏感な部分を触り合う.

【ラン】「リックのが、大きくなってる・・・」

ランが荒い呼吸混じりに言った.

Ran: "Nnh..., Nhuu..."

Rick: "Nhaa..., Nnh..."

We desire each other from the depths of our hearts, and so my most sensitive part starts to poke against her body.

Ran: "Rick, you've gotten so big..."

She says, her voice shaking with her heavy breathing.

【リック】「ラン、俺、もう我慢できない・・・」

俺は、ランに覆い被さるようにして、腰と腰を密着させる.

しとどに溢れるランの秘部にいきり立つ俺のモノをあてがい、ゆっくりと押し込める.

Rick: "Ran, I, can't hold back anymore..."

I get on top of Ran, our hips pressing against each other.

I place my throbbing member in front of Ran's dripping wet place and slowly start to push inside.

''[天: Note to self. From here on "feral" sex scene.]''

[月: Damn the people who made up those words sexual..."throbbing member" this is torture.] 

[天: Would "throbbing thing" be better ^^"?]

[月: Nay, out of those i think the first is better, i just hate corny things I'm sorry *bows excessively*.]

ずぶぶと、ランの柔らかな肉ひだを押し分けるように、うずめていく.

【リック】「んああっ・・・」

温かいランの感触と絡みつくようなねっとりとした感触が、俺の背筋を駆け抜ける. ぞわぞわと背中の毛が逆立ちそうなくらいの快感.

With a squishing sound I push Ran's soft lips apart and bury my rod deep within her.

Rick: "Nhaaah-..."

A shiver runs down my back as I'm being consumed by the sensation of Ran's warmth and slipperiness. This pleasant feeling is making all the hair on my back stand on end. ''[僧: Changed "devoured" to "consumed." This scene is already a little awkward to read, I don't think we really need vore overtones as well.] [天: True. ^^"]''

【ラン】「ふああんっ・・・！」

甘美なランの声.

【リック】「ラン・・・」

俺はゆっくりと腰を動かし始める. にゅぶにゅぶとランの中を前後する.

Ran: "Huaaahnn-...!"

Ran's sweet voice.

Rick: "Ran..."

I start to slowly move my hips, thrusting in and out of her.

''[月: fixed thrust and something I forgot about. this is cruel and unusual punishment.]''

''[天: Got the feeling you're exaggerating a bit. XD ''

''Or I'm just more used to it after having dealt with dialogs like this quite some times before. ^^"]''

[''月: I'm probably just used to more tasteful writing methinks I'm corn-y-phobic. Also, why are the dashes ( - ) in the sound bits in half of the sounds but not in all.]''

''[天: That's due to those words ending in a little tsu (っ or ッ) which isn't a sound by itself. A little tsu means that you're supposed to duplicate the first consonant of the next character, but since there is no next character you just stop the sound right there (e.g.: Wha- !). Dunno if the dashes really make that clear, but I've been using them ever since I started translating stuff. Oh I also just realized that I forgot the dashes in two places, maybe it was that what you meant, in that case it was just me being sloppy ^^"]''

[月: well that does explain WHY the dashes are there instead of spaces/commas, but the original question was why they arent on all so yeh you fixxed it methinks...heh]

''[味: Sadly I'm not too experienced with erotic novels, so I'm not sure how to better improve the writing. I can only suggest not using "thing" D:]''

【ラン】「んッ、んッ、ああんッ・・・！」

それに合わせるようにランの喘ぐ声が漏れる. ランは堪えようとするが、それでもその声は途絶えることなく、俺の気持ちを高ぶらせる.

【リック】「んっ・・・、すごい・・・. ラン、気持ちいいよ・・・」

【ラン】「私も・・・んッ、リック・・・. ひゃんッ・・・、ふああッ」

Ran: "Nh-, Nh-, Aaahn-...!"

A moan slips over Ran's lips as our bodies join. Ran was holding herself back, but she couldn't keep herself from moaning, which arouses me even more.

Rick: "Nh-..., woah... Ran, it's so good..."

Ran: "For me too... Nh-, Rick... Hyaan-..., Huaah-"

腰を動かす度にランの尻尾がゆれる. 俺はランの尻尾を掴み、ゆっくりと舌を這わせ、先を噛む.

【リック】「ランのふわふわ尻尾、すごく可愛い」

【ラン】「は、恥ずかしい・・・」

今まで、ランが隠していたふわふわの尻尾. 誰にも見せることのなかった尻尾. 俺はその尻尾が、すごく愛らしく思えた.

Every time I move inside of Ran, her tail twitches. I grab her tail, slowly run my tongue along it, and then bite into the tip. [僧: Once again, I don't think "wag" is the right word here, so I changed it to "twitch."] [天: I sure won't disagree with that ^^"]

Rick: "Ran, your fluffy tail, it's so cute."

Ran: "Th-, that's so embarrassing..."

Ran's tail that she kept hidden until just now. Her tail that nobody has seen before. To me it's the most lovely thing I've ever seen.

【ラン】「リック・・・、好き」

【リック】「俺も、ランのこと、大好きだよ・・・」

腰を動かせば動かすほど、くちゅくちゅといやらしい音が聞こえる.

激しい律動がこみ上げる.

Ran: "Rick... I love you."

Rick: "I love you too, Ran..."

The more I thrust, the louder that lustful squishing sound becomes. ''[僧: I don't think "naughty" quite fits with the whole tone of this scene. "Erotic" is a bit too obvious for a replacement. The best I can come up with is "lustful," but if anyone has anything better, feel free to change it.] [天: I think it sounds good, thanks. ^^]''

The rhythm gets faster and faster, welling up inside of me.

【リック】「ラン・・・、もう、俺・・・」

【ラン】「・・・んっ、そのまま、お願い」

【リック】「中に・・・？」

【ラン】「お願い・・・、感じたいの. んふぅ・・・、リックを・・・直接」

ランが潤んだ瞳で俺を見る.

Rick: "Ran..., soon, I..."

Ran: "...Nh-, please, keep it there."

Rick: "Inside...?"

Ran: "Please..., I want to feel it. Nhuu-..., I want to feel you... cum inside me."

Ran looks up to me with teary eyes.

''[味: Okay, so "come" or "cum"? I've always used the latter...] [天: Ah just lets go with cum here.][味: Also, I think a good equivalent here would be "pleading eyes" or "teary eyes" rather than "wet eyes", depending on how to interpret that one.] [天: Ok, teary fits too ^^]''

【リック】「んんっ・・・くうぅ・・・、　ふん・・・、んッ！　うッ・・・」

びゅ、びゅくんとランの中に放出する.

【ラン】「ふああああっ、熱い・・・、　熱いよぅ・・・」

俺はランに入れたまま、ぎゅうっと抱きしめ、いつまでもいつまでも離さなかった.

Rick: "Nnh-... Kuu..., Huu..., Nh-! Uuh-..."

I shoot my load deep inside of Ran's body.

Ran: "Haaaaah-, hot..., it feels so hot..."

I stay inside of her afterwards and hold her tight, I don't know how much time passes, I just can't let go of her.

''[天: Note to self. End of sex scene.]''

【ラン】「ねぇ、リック・・・」

【リック】「何？」

俺とランは服を着るでもなく、裸のまま抱き合って、空を眺めていた.

【ラン】「私も一緒に、雲の向こうへ連れていって」

【リック】「ランと一緒に？」

Ran: "Say, Rick..."

Rick: "Hm?"

We left our clothes off and are laying naked arm in arm in this field of flowers, looking up to the night sky.

Ran: "Can I come with you? To that place beyond the clouds?"

Rick: "You want to come with me?"

【ラン】「やっぱり、ダメ？　あなたの夢を叶えるのには邪魔かな」

【リック】「そ、そんなことないよ. ランと一緒に飛行機に乗れるなんて」

【ラン】「雲の向こうには、新しい世界が　待ってるんでしょう？　私も行ってもみたい. そして、そこから　新しい自分をスタートさせたい」

ランが俺の顔を見る. 間近なランの顔. 瞳の中に俺が見える.

Ran: "So I can't after all? You want to fulfill your dream, I wonder if I'd just be in the way."

Rick: "I, I didn't say that! I didn't say you couldn't ride the plane with me."

Ran: "Beyond those clouds, a whole new world is waiting, right? I want to try going there too. And then, I want to make a new start in that place."

Ran looks into my face. Ran's face, so close to mine. I can see myself inside her eyes.

【リック】「いいよ. 一緒に行こう. 一緒に、あの雲の向こうの世界を　確かめよう」

俺は、ランの頭をそっと撫でた.

Rick: "It's alright! Come with me. Lets go to the world beyond the clouds, together!"

I stroke over Ran's head.

花畑を一陣の風が撫でて通りすぎる. 花びらが散り、辺りに舞う.

はらはらと俺達の身体に落ちてくる.

月の光と、甘い匂いに包まれた夜.

A breeze runs over the flower field. Petals are carried away and dance around us.

Like drifting snow they fall down on our bodies.

The light of the moon, and that sweet scent engulfs this night.

The skirt slipping to the ground. Ran's naked body. Her scent.

同じように、服を脱ぐ. 身体中が風に触れる. 少し冷たい風.

ランの手が俺の手に触れる. 温かい、温かい手のひら.

お互いに衣服をつけないまま身体をまさぐりあう. 唇にキス. 首筋にキス. 柔らかな胸にキスをする.

I take my clothes off just like her. I feel the wind stroke over my fur. A little cold.

Ran grabs my hand. So warm, her palm feels so warm.

Our bare bodies press against each other. I kiss her lips. Her neck. Her soft breasts.

【ラン】「ひゃんっ・・・」

咲き乱れる花びらの中に二人の身体をうずめる.

俺は、ランの身体を甘噛みする.

【ラン】「ひやぁ・・・」

ランの口から、か細い喘ぎ声が漏れる.

Ran: "Hiyan-..."

Among the amorea in full bloom we entwine our bodies.

I playfully bite into Ran's right breast.

Ran: "Hiyaa..."

Ran breathes a faint moan.

お腹の毛をゆっくり撫でて、その手で、ランの下腹部をまさぐる. そこはねっとりと蜜に溢れていて、指を這わせると、いつの間にか、まるで吸い込まれるように奥のすぼまりを愛撫していた.

【リック】「ラン・・・」

俺にとって大切な人の名前を呼ぶ.

With one hand I slowly stroke over the fur on her belly and then slip that hand down between her legs. She's all wet down there, overflowing with sweet nectar, she lets me stick a finger inside and before I know it, it's like she's pulling it deeper inside, gently squeezing and caressing my finger.

Rick: "Ran..."

I speak the name of that girl that has become so important to me.

【ラン】「リック・・・」

俺の名前を呼ぶ口を俺の口で塞ぐ. 唇を吸い、舌を這せ、互いに絡み合わせる. ぬるりとした感触と、のどの奥から溢れる吐息を感じる.

Ran: "Rick..."

She speaks my name, I make her lips stop with mine. I suck on her lip, I stick my tongue inside, she entwines her tongue with mine. That slippery feeling makes both of us let out a deep moan from our throats.

【ラン】「んん・・・、んふう・・・」

【リック】「んはぁ・・・、んん・・・」

ただひたすらお互いを求め、敏感な部分を触り合う.

【ラン】「リックのが、大きくなってる・・・」

ランが荒い呼吸混じりに言った.

Ran: "Nnh..., Nhuu..."

Rick: "Nhaa..., Nnh..."

We desire each other from the depths of our hearts, and so my most sensitive part starts to poke against her body.

Ran: "Rick, you've gotten so big..."

She says, her voice shaking with her heavy breathing.

【リック】「ラン、俺、もう我慢できない・・・」

俺は、ランに覆い被さるようにして、腰と腰を密着させる.

しとどに溢れるランの秘部にいきり立つ俺のモノをあてがい、ゆっくりと押し込める.

Rick: "Ran, I, can't hold back anymore..."

I get on top of Ran, our hips pressing against each other.

I place my throbbing member in front of Ran's dripping wet place and slowly start to push inside.

ずぶぶと、ランの柔らかな肉ひだを押し分けるように、うずめていく.

【リック】「んああっ・・・」

温かいランの感触と絡みつくようなねっとりとした感触が、俺の背筋を駆け抜ける. ぞわぞわと背中の毛が逆立ちそうなくらいの快感.

With a squishing sound I push Ran's soft lips apart and bury my rod deep within her.

Rick: "Nhaaah-..."

A shiver runs down my back as I'm being consumed by the sensation of Ran's warmth and slipperiness. This pleasant feeling is making all the hair on my back stand on end.

【ラン】「ふああんっ・・・！」

甘美なランの声.

【リック】「ラン・・・」

俺はゆっくりと腰を動かし始める. にゅぶにゅぶとランの中を前後する.

Ran: "Huaaahnn-...!"

Ran's sweet voice.

Rick: "Ran..."

I start to slowly move my hips, thrusting in and out of her.

【ラン】「んッ、んッ、ああんッ・・・！」

それに合わせるようにランの喘ぐ声が漏れる. ランは堪えようとするが、それでもその声は途絶えることなく、俺の気持ちを高ぶらせる.

【リック】「んっ・・・、すごい・・・. ラン、気持ちいいよ・・・」

【ラン】「私も・・・んッ、リック・・・. ひゃんッ・・・、ふああッ」

Ran: "Nh-, Nh-, Aaahn-...!"

A moan slips over Ran's lips as our bodies join. Ran was holding herself back, but she couldn't keep herself from moaning, which arouses me even more.

Rick: "Nh-..., woah... Ran, it's so good..."

Ran: "For me too... Nh-, Rick... Hyaan-..., Huaah-"

腰を動かす度にランの尻尾がゆれる. 俺はランの尻尾を掴み、ゆっくりと舌を這わせ、先を噛む.

【リック】「ランのふわふわ尻尾、すごく可愛い」

【ラン】「は、恥ずかしい・・・」

今まで、ランが隠していたふわふわの尻尾. 誰にも見せることのなかった尻尾. 俺はその尻尾が、すごく愛らしく思えた.

Every time I move inside of Ran, her tail twitches. I grab her tail, slowly run my tongue along it, and then bite into the tip.

Rick: "Ran, your fluffy tail, it's so cute."

Ran: "Th-, that's so embarrassing..."

Ran's tail that she kept hidden until just now. Her tail that nobody has seen before. To me it's the most lovely thing I've ever seen.

【ラン】「リック・・・、好き」

【リック】「俺も、ランのこと、大好きだよ・・・」

腰を動かせば動かすほど、くちゅくちゅといやらしい音が聞こえる.

激しい律動がこみ上げる.

Ran: "Rick... I love you."

Rick: "I love you too, Ran..."

The more I thrust, the louder that lustful squishing sound becomes.

The rhythm gets faster and faster, welling up inside of me.

【リック】「ラン・・・、もう、俺・・・」

【ラン】「・・・んっ、そのまま、お願い」

【リック】「中に・・・？」

【ラン】「お願い・・・、感じたいの. んふぅ・・・、リックを・・・直接」

ランが潤んだ瞳で俺を見る.

Rick: "Ran..., soon, I..."

Ran: "...Nh-, please, keep it there."

Rick: "Inside...?"

Ran: "Please..., I want to feel it. Nhuu-..., I want to feel you... cum inside me."

Ran looks up to me with teary eyes.

【リック】「んんっ・・・くうぅ・・・、　ふん・・・、んッ！　うッ・・・」

びゅ、びゅくんとランの中に放出する.

【ラン】「ふああああっ、熱い・・・、　熱いよぅ・・・」

俺はランに入れたまま、ぎゅうっと抱きしめ、いつまでもいつまでも離さなかった.

Rick: "Nnh-... Kuu..., Huu..., Nh-! Uuh-..."

I shoot my load deep inside of Ran's body.

Ran: "Haaaaah-, hot..., it feels so hot..."

I stay inside of her afterwards and hold her tight, I don't know how much time passes, I just can't let go of her.

【ラン】「ねぇ、リック・・・」

【リック】「何？」

俺とランは服を着るでもなく、裸のまま抱き合って、空を眺めていた.

【ラン】「私も一緒に、雲の向こうへ連れていって」

【リック】「ランと一緒に？」

Ran: "Say, Rick..."

Rick: "Hm?"

We left our clothes off and are laying naked arm in arm in this field of flowers, looking up to the night sky.

Ran: "Can I come with you? To that place beyond the clouds?"

Rick: "You want to come with me?"

【ラン】「やっぱり、ダメ？　あなたの夢を叶えるのには邪魔かな」

【リック】「そ、そんなことないよ. ランと一緒に飛行機に乗れるなんて」

【ラン】「雲の向こうには、新しい世界が　待ってるんでしょう？　私も行ってもみたい. そして、そこから　新しい自分をスタートさせたい」

ランが俺の顔を見る. 間近なランの顔. 瞳の中に俺が見える.

Ran: "So I can't after all? You want to fulfill your dream, I wonder if I'd just be in the way."

Rick: "I, I didn't say that! I didn't say you couldn't ride the plane with me."

Ran: "Beyond those clouds, a whole new world is waiting, right? I want to try going there too. And then, I want to make a new start in that place."

Ran looks into my face. Ran's face, so close to mine. I can see myself inside her eyes.

【リック】「いいよ. 一緒に行こう. 一緒に、あの雲の向こうの世界を　確かめよう」

俺は、ランの頭をそっと撫でた.

Rick: "It's alright! Come with me. Lets go to the world beyond the clouds, together!"

I stroke over Ran's head.

花畑を一陣の風が撫でて通りすぎる. 花びらが散り、辺りに舞う.

はらはらと俺達の身体に落ちてくる.

月の光と、甘い匂いに包まれた夜.

A breeze runs over the flower field. Petals are carried away and dance around us.

Like drifting snow they fall down on our bodies.

The light of the moon, and that sweet scent engulfs this night.
