Chapter 56 The Captain’s Wild Heat and the Trembling D-Buddy
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
A guttural roar, a deep, rumbling growl of pure instinct!
”Whaaat—?! Kento, look out, you’re in danger!” Laika shrieked, her voice tight with panic.
”We have no choice! Restraint magic, now!” Tania declared, her voice strained as she pushed her magic.
”Aah—!” I yelped, a sound of pure terror.
Merluza, the Captain of the Royal Guard, a magnificent lion-like beast-woman, was snapping her gums and flailing both her powerful arms, lunging right for me. The dog beast-person, Laika, was desperately hugging her waist, trying to hold her back. Tania, the elf adventurer, had her magical power blazing as she chanted a binding spell. Meanwhile, I was cornered right into the cramped little shop’s farthest room.
Since the ‘verification’ experiment with Laika, more beast-women, introduced through the ‘Beast-person Association’¹, had started showing up. Taking on Merluza-san today had seemed fine until she stepped into the room and instantly transformed into a primal beast.
A horrifying, throaty, feminine cry of pure lust ripped through the air!
”Look, it’s not working at all! Sister, you need to crank up the power! Kento is going to be eaten alive!” Laika desperately insisted, trying to hold back the Captain.
”I’m using all my strength! Damn it! Strip her quickly and shove the ‘Ddo-Buddy Six’ in!” Tania demanded, her hands glowing with magic.
”I can’t! If I ease up even a little, she’ll escape!” Laika grunted, clinging with all her might.
Merluza-san’s screams—no, her primal feminine cries—echoed deafeningly in the tiny room, which was crammed full of scattered experiment tools, prototypes, and inventory. Several of our ‘Ddo-Buddies’ were sent flying, skittering across the floor.
I’d been attacked a few times before and managed to fend them off, so I’d let my guard down. Usually, I can handle it, but the Captain is obviously a cut above—stronger, and she possesses a decent resistance to magic. Her vicious claws were now only inches from my face. I thought it was truly all over, but then it happened.
”Take that!” a small voice chirped.
”Nnyaaaah—!?” Merluza let out a shocked, pained squeal of pleasure!
My beloved experimental slave, Lily-sama, had come through! Lily jammed the ‘Uterine Massager’ right near the base of Merluza-san’s tail. Still fully dressed, Merluza-san’s body convulsed, a wave of moisture soaked her clothing as she arched her hips and then collapsed weakly to her knees.
I remembered that the base of the tail was a major erogenous zone for cats, so it makes sense that it works on lions too, I thought, an oddly calm observation bubbling up in a corner of my mind. My hand moved on its own, quickly scribbling the details onto a memo pad. Talk about having a thick skin—or just being obsessed with data.
”Well done, Lily-sama. Come on, Kento, let her have a good sniff,” Tania instructed, her voice steadying.
”Ah, right. Got it, Tania,” I replied, nodding quickly.
”Nnyaaah…?” Merluza-san murmured, completely confused about what had just happened.
I took her head in my arms, pressing her nose firmly against my chest so she could inhale my scent. I stroked her thick, fluffy hair gently and patiently. Eventually, her eyes turned hazy and unfocused as she gazed up at me, snuffling deeply. She then latched onto me with a death-grip, her claws digging in firmly.
We’d discovered after a few previous attacks that letting them smell a male’s body odor would calm them down slightly. I guess it reassures them that they’ve secured a ‘partner,’ making them feel safe. All that’s left now is to fill the void.
”Please, not the Six this time. Stick to the ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy’ as usual. I need to record this, after all,” I requested, looking down at Laika.
”Yep, yep, I know!” Laika chirped back, already focused on the task.
Laika swiftly peeled Merluza-san’s pants and underwear down, then plunged the ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy’ right into the center of her womanhood. All I could see from my angle was her firm backside and her adorable, twitching lion’s tail, but judging by the way she was violently shaking, a torrent of pleasure was already being released on the other side.
Laika had become quite seasoned herself, expertly dodging the spray of moisture as she administered the fierce vibration. I remember back when she’d get completely drenched, looking like a pitiful wet-dog—or, well, a pitiful wet-beast-person.
A low, sweet growl, different from the initial rage, erupted from Merluza-san as she climaxed! A joyful, frantic cry!
”There, there, good girl, good girl,” I soothed.
Her tail was now standing straight up and stiff, which was kind of adorable. To think I could now find this adorable—I really have been put through the wringer, haven’t I? I patted her head, reflecting on how much I’d been trained by this bizarre job.
But Lily’s ‘Uterine Massager’ was still jammed near her tail, and Merluza-san had started frantically licking my neck, like a giant, affectionate housecat. This probably wasn’t going to produce good data for the ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy’ verification records.
Not that I’d hide any of it, mind you! Even if the data is a ‘minus’ for the ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy,’ it’ll be a huge ‘plus’ for the ‘Uterine Massager.’ More importantly, it shows just how much trouble these beast-women go through.
”Grrrrrr—!” She purred and growled with pure delight!
”There, there, good girl. Let’s get you nice and satisfied, okay?” I whispered, gently scratching her fur.
Seriously, I have no idea how they managed this impulse before. Then again, trying to suppress it without a male presence is probably the unusual behavior. As I soothed the Captain, who had become a sweet little kitty cat by clinging to me, I quickly jotted down my thoughts on this observation.
In the end, I spent about three full hours helping Merluza-san resolve her ‘heat’ that day.
* * *
”Ugh… I… I’m so sorry. I truly didn’t expect this to happen…”
It’s strangely appealing, seeing the usually commanding Captain with her face beet-red, looking all wilted and sheepish. I began the post-event interview, trying not to be too rude.
”Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s pretty common around here, honestly,” I reassured her.
”N-Normally, I’m never like this! Really! I just shut myself in my room and play with ‘Bob’ for about an hour, and that’s enough to tide me over!” she stammered, flustered.
’Bob’ is what Merluza-san calls her personal ‘Tremble-Ddo-Buddy.’ I thought it was strange when I heard that naming their vibrators was a trend among the beast-women, but after witnessing that monstrous ‘heat’ episode, I can definitely see why. That beloved machine, which calms the terrifying impulse on lonely nights every single month, must feel like a godsend to them.
”I don’t doubt you for a second. Everyone says the same thing. And it’s probably not great that I, a man, am the one conducting these tests. I apologize,” I admitted, trying to ease her guilt.
”N-No. I don’t think a man being here is a bad thing, you know…?” she murmured, looking up.
”Oh? Is that so?” I asked, surprised.
”Yes. This is the first time I’ve held out on my ‘heat’ for this long, and I was shocked myself. But I honestly wouldn’t have been able to keep going from the Royal Palace to here if I hadn’t known you, Kento, were waiting for me.” Merluza-san made a face as though she had bitten into a bitter worm.
It sounds like fighting off the ‘heat’ is a monumental struggle. It’s quite a distance from the Royal Palace to the shop, so if she was suppressing that impulse the entire time, her sudden, total breakdown makes perfect sense.
”That might be especially true for people who travel from far away…” I mused aloud.
”Indeed. I had a terrible time, even feeling tempted by the gate guards—men I usually find completely lacking in masculine charm. The only thing that kept me from lunging at every man on the road was you, Kento. I’m sorry, but for future tests, I think it would be best if you remained here as my… bait.”
As she spoke, Merluza-san was repeatedly bumping her forehead hard against my shoulder, which actually hurt a bit. Was this a lingering effect? Was she not completely out of ‘heat’ yet…?
”Um, Merluza-san?”
”Hmm? Oh, don’t mind it. It’s probably just because I inhaled too much of your scent. I don’t feel the ‘heat’ impulse anymore, but you still seem terribly attractive to me, and I can’t help it. It should pass after a good night’s sleep,” she explained, pushing her head into me harder.
Merluza-san increased the force of her head-butt, and I stumbled, falling onto the floor. With what she called a ‘calm’ explanation, she then pressed her face straight into my stomach. Well, Laika was just cleaning and tidying up without saying anything, so I guess it must be fine… right?
”I-Is that really how it is?” I asked, still unsure.
”It’s how it is. Though, I don’t know what would happen if someone who already had deep feelings for you took in this much of your scent… Perhaps a few of them might demand that you take responsibility,” Merluza-san said with a fierce, almost predatory laugh.
Fortunately, when I gently pushed her, she yielded easily as we talked. But then she rubbed her forehead into my palm, silently demanding to be petted, and when I did, she started eagerly licking my hand. Seriously, is this person truly a lion beast-person? She’s acting exactly like the cat I had at home in my old world.
”Uh-oh!? That’s a huge problem for me! I’m worried about Aerith-jou from the Garou Merchant Guild²…” I fretted, my anxiety rising.
”Ah, you mean the one who was flirting with you after the meeting? She’s pretty much like that with any male, so it’s hard to tell how serious she is,” Merluza-san noted, her voice flat.
”I hope you’re right…” I sighed, still writing down everything she’d told me.
I’d be happy if this was my big ‘popular phase’ in a fantasy world, but unfortunately, I only have one body, and my stamina has its limits. Should I start brewing the strongest aphrodisiac I can find, just in case?
As I was lost in thought, the familiar sound of a knock on the back door cut through the air. Merluza-san and Laika’s eyes instantly flashed, and both of them began to intensely sniff the air.
”Speak of the devil. Kento, hide behind me,” Merluza-san ordered, her voice suddenly back to her Captain-like tone.
”Y-Yes, ma’am,” I mumbled.
Merluza-san’s reassuring back stood like a shield in front of me, and Laika moved toward the door with the determined eyes of a warrior. Having two of them here on the same night might be a first. But thank goodness Merluza-san has returned to her senses!
Now, I wonder just how bad the ‘heat’ is for Aerith-jou, who is infamous for hers…

Summary:
The chapter explodes with Merluza, the lion captain, succumbing to her fierce heat right in Kento’s shop, forcing Laika and Tania to scramble for restraint. The tide is turned by Lily and her Uterine Massager, followed by Kento’s scent, which calms Merluza into a clingy, post-heat state. The research-focused interview reveals the extreme difficulty beast-women face during their cycle and Merluza’s new, worrying attachment to Kento’s presence. The emotional stakes rise as another beast-woman, Aerith-jou, arrives at the door, whose heat is rumored to be even worse.
—
Character Insight:
Merluza is a powerhouse of control, but her ‘heat’ is her one true weakness, reducing her to a primal creature. Her reliance on Kento, initially a scientific necessity, has morphed into genuine, lingering attraction, suggesting that his ‘bait’ role is dangerously effective. Kento remains a detached observer, valuing the data over his personal safety, even as he contemplates brewing stamina potions.
—
Behind the Scene:
The shop is the only place providing effective relief for the beast-women’s debilitating ‘heat’ period, turning Kento into an accidental, vital necessity in their lives. ‘Bob’ is a great example of anthropomorphism to cope with a difficult situation.

T/L:
¹ Beast-person Association: An organization or collective that manages and coordinates affairs for the beast-people population, likely acting as a referral service for Kento’s unique ‘treatment.’ ↩
² Garou Merchant Guild: ‘Garou’ means ‘werewolf’ or ‘man-wolf’ in French, suggesting a merchant guild primarily composed of wolf-type beast-people. Aerith-jou would be a high-ranking young lady from this group. ↩
Notes:
• Kento – The owner of the magic tool shop ‘Harvest,’ which discretely sells adult goods. He’s a former overworked, ordinary salaryman from modern Japan who was suddenly transported (isekai’d) to this fantasy world. He has dark hair and an unremarkable appearance, typically wearing a plain, slightly suspicious-looking shop owner’s clothes looks like Kazuma Satou from certain series. He has a minimal amount of magic power, enough to craft his specialty items.
• Tania – An Elf adventurer who, despite her race’s reputation for low sex drive, is secretly quite passionate. She initially seemed ‘wasted’ (emotionally dry) to her friend Raika, but was easily introduced to the pleasure-items sold at ‘Harvest.’ She is easily embarrassed and attempts to maintain a dignified facade, despite her recent, frequent purchases. She wears practical but light armor over a simple cloth tunic and short pants, highlighting her grace and agility. Her primary relationship is one of friendly senior-junior with Raika.
• Merluza – The Captain of the Royal Guard, a veteran soldier and Lion Beast-person. She testifies to the military necessity and effectiveness of the ‘Tremble Ddo-Buddy’ (which she calls ‘Bob’) for female beast-person soldiers, ensuring job performance isn’t compromised by ‘heat’. Have dull yellow hair, large feline ears, wearing armor, and large scar over the right eye.
• Lily – the sl*ve and primary experiment subject for the magic shop, ‘Harvest.’ She has striking pink hair, Blue eyes, medium breasts, which the Protagonist associates with being ‘wanton’. She has a working knowledge of magic, which she kept hidden from the slave trader.
• Aerith – A wolf beast-person and Ouka’s daughter. She is intensely attracted to Kento’s creative genius and is not shy about showing her interest. Have gray fur hair and tail, wearing elegant dress.
