Chapter 13: The Answer Is Gear!
Milk, now six years old, continued to enjoy his life as time passed quickly and two seasons went by.
By the time he turned eight, Milk had grown robustly at least, his penis did. In truth, his height hadn't increased even 1 cm, but his penis had grown 3 cm, reaching an astonishing 15 cm.
Even before, when he wrapped himself in cloth, the tip would peek out between his thighs. Now? Even with the cloth, the prominent head of his penis was clearly visible between his legs.
If only his body had grown a bit more, he could have switched to a larger cloth, but since his body hadn't grown, a bigger cloth would cover too much of his thighs and restrict his movement.
At an age when he should be running around, tripping over his own clothing would be a disaster. So, he had no choice but to leave his penis exposed, but no one around him seemed to care, and it wasn't a problem.
Only Milk felt embarrassed, but even that faded with time, and now he was calm, as if it didn't matter who saw.
"This time, Yuke and Milk are the seekers!"
"We're hiding!"
"Okay, I'll count to ten and then look for you so hide quickly!"
"Let's hide, let's hide!"
"Waaa !"
The hide-and-seek game Milk had introduced was still, two years later, wildly popular among the Holstaurus children.
With little else to do for fun, this simple game of hiding and seeking captivated the children and became an essential pastime for the tribe's kids.
Originally, Milk planned to introduce new games once this one lost its appeal, but the kids became so engrossed in hide-and-seek that it never got old.
"One two "
"Six seven "
"Ten!"
"Now we're coming to find you!"
As Milk finished counting, Yuke, who was counting beside him, spun around. In the process, the cloth covering her chest slipped down.
Now twelve, Yuke had already begun to develop a voluptuous figure, with the largest chest among her peers.
Her personality was lively, and since she often helped her mother climb mountains, she had a fit and curvy body.
She now had a uniquely large chest and, while her body was nearly fully grown, she was still a child at heart.
She wasn't embarrassed at all when the cloth slipped down and was about to run off to find the kids, but Milk called out to stop her.
"Yuke, wait "
"Huh?"
She stopped and turned to look at him, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. By then, the cloth had fallen to the ground.
Her nipples were still small and undeveloped, but with her bouncing chest, she looked like a healthy young girl.
Milk scratched his nose, picked up the cloth, brushed off the dirt, wrapped it back around her chest, and tied it tightly behind her.
"Be careful keep yourself covered."
"Ugh... th-thanks."
Blushing at Milk's closeness, Yuke turned her head to cool her cheeks, unable to meet his gaze.
Just two years ago, they were both nursing at their mothers' breasts, but now, as she became more aware of the opposite sex, she seemed shy.
"Okay, let's go find the others."
"Uh, yeah! Okay "
Milk patted her back, and Yuke, cheered up, dashed off to find the other kids.
Milk, knowing all the best hiding spots behind pillars, behind rocks, and so on quickly found all nineteen children.
"Found you!"
"Ah, you got me..."
"You're here too!"
"Wow! Milk, you're really good at this!"
Since he was mentally an adult, it was easy for him to spot where kids would hide. After finding everyone, Milk and Yuke gathered in the center to pick the next seekers.
Just then, the voices of adults calling for the children rang out.
"Yuke! Yuke, where are you!!!"
"Bel! Come here "
It was the mothers of Yuke and Bel. Hearing their voices, Yuke and Bel suddenly remembered something and apologized to the other kids.
"Ah! Sorry, everyone. We have to go."
"Huh? Yuke, you're leaving? Why? Don't go play with us "
"Sorry, I have to go."
"Waaah! Bel, don't go !"
The two girls were caught between the whining children, but Milk called the others over to clear a path for them.
"Come on, everyone Yuke and Bel have to study starting today. I'll play with you instead. Gather around "
"Ugh..."
"Okay, big brother "
"See you tomorrow, sis "
The kids, though disappointed, listened to Milk and let Yuke and Bel go. The two girls, looking regretful, ran to their waiting mothers.
'Sex education, right?'
[That's correct. Milk started a bit early, but normally, it begins around this age and continues regularly until age fifteen.]
'Well, I got caught masturbating too early, and there was concern I'd get curious about the girls, so they rushed mine. I'll have to go through it again later, too.'
At twelve, Holstaurus girls begin their rapid growth spurt.
Their height, which had grown slowly, now shot up, and their chests developed for nursing, while their hips and thighs became fuller for childbirth.
From this age, the difference in height between boys and girls became apparent boys rarely grew taller than 120 cm, while girls could reach 170–190 cm.
Yuke was now about 160 cm, and Bel, who used to be shorter, was now 151 cm. They would continue to grow quickly from here.
As their bodies matured, they could no longer just play like children. From now until age fifteen, they would study to prepare for adulthood in the tribe.
'So they're becoming adults now... It's a little sad, but that's how things go.'
[And they'll be your good wives. Their favorability is already at 100, so there's nothing to worry about.]
Blushing at Ru's words, Milk led the kids who stayed behind back to their game.
Since the game involved lots of running and hiding, the kids soon tired out. When they got hungry, Milk sent them home and headed somewhere else.
[Going again today?]
'Yeah right now it's tough, but I really want to learn. If I want to make the things I need, it's the most important skill.'
[That's a good idea. Skills are always important. But as the future leader, if you get too absorbed in something, the tribe might worry. Your main duty is to lead the women and have many children. If your focus on other things gets in the way, your position could weaken.]
Milk nodded as he walked, agreeing with Ru's point.
Still, he believed it was necessary. With knowledge from another world, he needed this skill to make what he wanted and to benefit from it.
'I know. But I still want to learn. If I have smithing skills, I can make the farming tools I want and weapons to protect myself. With a weaker male body, I need to be able to defend myself. And what I need most is gear. The answer is, after all, gear!'
[Agreed. If you arm yourself with light but strong metal or smooth ore, you'll have good protection. But the current tribe blacksmith isn't skilled enough to process those materials.]
'That's why I have to learn. With your help, Ru, once I get the basics, I can grow as much as I want. Please invest my points in the skills I need to become a blacksmith and give me lots of advice.'
[Understood. All decisions are yours. My only job is to help you live a happy life as a Holstaurus. If your dream is to be a blacksmith, I'll help you achieve it.]
'Thank you, Ru. I'll be counting on you.'
[No need to thank me. It's only natural.]
With Ru's support, Milk soon arrived at the tribe's only blacksmith shop, radiating heat.
Though the smith wasn't very skilled and most products were crude, she was good with her hands, and her finished goods were functional.
Here, they made farming tools, crude weapons, and even the dildos that kept Holstaurus women company on lonely nights.
The vaginal muscles of excited Holstaurus women were surprisingly strong, so they never made dildos from wood only metal, finished with a coating of Holstaurus milk to prevent rust.
Most farming tools and weapons were also finished this way, as Holstaurus milk was a high-quality material not only for food but for the smithy as well.
When quenching hot iron, Holstaurus milk was even better than water, boiled water, or even holy water.
Sometimes, when the tribe traded with humans, they'd collect milk from several women, store it in jars, and sell it at high prices in human villages, using the money to buy what they needed.
But this was rare, because it was dangerous. Even if friendly with humans, Holstaurus were still seen as non-humans and sometimes fell victim to slavers or killers. Only with the chief's permission and heavy protection did they venture out.
Returning to Milk, he entered the smithy and watched the sweaty woman hammering away.
It was so hot inside that she couldn't even keep her cloth on, so she worked naked.
Sensing someone behind her, she glanced back, saw Milk, smiled, and kept working. Then she called out to him:
"Back again? I don't know what you see in this place. Or are you interested in this old lady?"
She joked cheerfully, and Milk played along as he sat in a chair behind her.
"There's not that much age difference between us 'old lady' is a bit much."
"Haha oh, Milk, you say the cutest things."
She smiled happily and gave her hammer a final swing, shaping the iron into a small sickle.
She dipped it in a bucket full of milk, then hung it up to dry.
Then, loosely wrapping a spotted cloth around her sweaty body, she turned and playfully squeezed Milk's cheeks.
"Old lady, huh? I'm fifty years older than you, so don't tease me with those heart-thumping words, you rascal "
"Ow! Ow! Okay, I'll call you by your name. Ow, Mary "
Her name was Mary, fifty-nine years old, the apprentice blacksmith responsible for the Holstaurus tribe's smithy.
