Siren’s Cry [A LITRPG Adventure]-Ch. 27
A/N: The sexy times are not the focus of this chapter, but they will be scattered throughout the chap. Not a particularly story-heavy chapter, but also not entirely fanservice either. As for content warnings: mild exhibitionism and thinking with portals :3
For those of you who want just the story and not the horny, here's the quick rundown: Siris and Keira go to a fancy-not-fancy restaurant for dinner, they have a short heart-to-heart, and Keira makes her choice to follow Siris on her adventures. May or may not post a sanitized variant of the chapter if enough people want to read it without the smut. Not sure yet. ANYWAY, enjoy :3

Discreetly pulling the Phantasmal Fleshlight from my bag, I try something that I honestly don't expect to work. Feeding a little mana into it, I try to change its shape.
It's made of ectoplasm according to the description, and ectoplasm can change shape easily, right?
Surprisingly, it actually works. The previously long tube shrinks into a significantly smaller ring, but I don't put it on just yet. We arrive at the restaurant just before dark, and it's definitely a fancier place than what I've seen so far but not so fancy that it feels strange to eat here. The sign above the door proclaims it as ‘The Dockside Diner’, despite the docks being multiple streets away. Stepping into the dim interior, what distracts me instantly is the actual band playing on a small stage in the corner. Four bards play a song that I have no hope of recognizing, and a fifth sings along in a deep baritone.
“Within~ a li~ttle sea of red, the ti~des have stopped, the cur~rents dead-”
The song is actually rather grim, but everyone seems to enjoy it so I don't think too hard about it. Keira tugs me along by the arm, dragging me towards a padded bench in the back corner. The booth is shaded, a dimmed lantern hanging above the table giving off just enough light to eat by, but not enough to compromise the privacy. A pretty redhead waiter saunters over, and I let Keira order for me.
“Two of the chef's special and four buns please.”
The moment the waiter leaves, I put my plan into action. Activating the portal, I mentally direct it to link to Keira's pussy. A dim blue glow flickers from beneath my dress, and I can tell it worked by the confused shiver from the pretty kitty across from me. Giving a single firm pump to my rock hard shaft, I lock eyes with Keira and slowly push myself in.
Stifling a groan of pleasure, I smirk as Keira's eyes widen with surprise at the massive intrusion. She tries to glare at me, but quickly has to cover her mouth to stop from alerting the other patrons.
“Wh-What the fuck? What is th-this?”
“I have a… interesting item that lets me connect to a ‘selected orifice’, meaning ass, pussy, or mouth. I thought you might want to test it out, and didn't want to ruin the surprise kitty~”
“Really?! In public?!” She hisses softly, blushing bright enough that I can see it through her fur but no real heat in her voice.
“Oh? Do you want me to stop?” I taunt quietly, shifting the ring around and making her almost double over to hide her reaction. Keira looks away, refusing to make eye contact when she mumbles a response.
“I… I didn't say that…”
Grinning in triumph, I settle the ring around the base of my dick before letting go. Folding my hands on the table, I let her settle down as the waiter returns with our food. Keira keeps shooting glances around the room, worried about someone noticing our little bit of fun, but I don't worry about it and instead chow down on the delicious roasted drumstick on my plate. First bite, and I moan for a different reason as the tender meat melts in my mouth.
Tearing into the unidentified fowl, I'm nearly done with my food before Keira speaks up with uncharacteristic seriousness.
“So… about the offer you made. Are you sure you want me to travel with you? I know I wasn't anything but a burden during the last fight… and you had to fight at all because I got kidnapped in the first place. And all of that happened because I was an idiot and believed that the obviously evil people would help Mai with the poison and took the deal despite how obviously it was a trap to blackmail me into working for them and-”
I press my hand gently over her mouth, cutting off the increasingly hysterical rambling. Dropping my food and scooting around the bench, careful not to jostle the ring, I scoop her up into a hug and wrap my wings around us both. Pulling her close, I rest my chin on her head and gently pat her back as she sobs quietly into my chest. Whispering soft words of encouragement until she finally calms down, I unfold my wings and ward off the few stares we collected with a venomous glare.
Pulling back a bit, I look into her reddened eyes with warm concern. The sniffling catgirl looks up at me, her normal composure cracked to reveal the vulnerable girl beneath.
“Hey. It's not your fault. None of it is, ok? You wanted to help Mai, and those shitbags took advantage of you. Yes, I would absolutely love to have you join me, faults and all. No one's perfect, and if anyone claims to be then they're lying out their ass. You hear me?”
I maintain the staring contest for a bit, her eyes searching my own violet gaze for any hint of deception or malice. Finding none, she nods timidly and buries her face in my chest once more. Chuckling to myself, I continue slowly stroking her back and gently scratching behind her ears until a rumbling purr drowns out her quiet hiccups.
“Y’know, if you want to put your face in my tits, all you have to do is ask. No need to start having a breakdown, Keira~”
That snaps her out of her daze, and she hurriedly pushes me away while stammering incoherently. Her cute blush returns in full force, and I just laugh while moving back to my seat. The movement disturbs my portal, shifting my dick around inside of Keira and breaking any remaining tension as she quickly coughs to hide a moan.
“Returning to the topic at hand, yes I am sure. I would love to have you with me, but as I said before it's fully your choice. I know you probably have friends and family here that you don't want to leave behind, so I wouldn't begrudge you not wanting to join me.”
Keira is shaking her head before I finish talking, picking at her mostly untouched food.
“I don't have any family, my parents died when I was little and the only friend I really have is Mai. She was the one who encouraged me to go with you honestly, saying that I'm wasting away here in Carata. And I can't really disagree with her; I've stagnated in both skills and levels, and I can't get either if I just stay here. So I guess I mean to say… I would like to take you up on that offer to join you as you travel.”
My smile stretches enough that it aches, but the warm feeling bubbling up in my chest numbs it.
“Welcome to the team then, Keira. Oh, and keep the collar; it's cute on you.”
Keira starts sputtering again, tail and ears twitching madly, and I once again can't help but admire how beautiful she is. We return to our meal in a companionable silence, neither speaking, just letting the music and hum of conversations wash over us. Eventually we finish eating, and I'm forced to pull out of Keira before she's willing to stand up. We both suppress a shudder at the feeling, and I return the fleshlight to normal before putting it away. Taking Keira's arm, I pay for our food and we walk out into the chilly night air, the sounds of the restaurant fading behind us as we stroll towards the inn.

A/N: This chapter was kinda a last-minute thing, meant as a little bit of downtime before getting back into upgrades and preparation next chapter. Next chapter is the last slice-of-life one before the adventure resumes, so stay tuned for that!
