After devouring that glorious wyvern leg, Eris and I curl up for another cat nap.

The moment my head hits the pillow, I'm out like a light.

And when I wake up, it's like magic!

My muscles feel refreshed. My body, which had been screaming in pain earlier, now feels light and strong again. Even my mind feels sharper, more awake. All that soreness? Gone!

It's like someone hit the reset button on me.

Therefore...

"Felicia, let's run again!"

"Nn!"

We launch straight into another two hours of intense cardio.

The wind rushes past my ears as I run. My breath quickens, my heart races, and my legs pound the ground with sharp, steady rhythm.

And after that—

Wheeeeeze!

Wwwwhheeeeezeee...!

I'm wheezing again!

But this time... it's different.

Unlike before, I can already tell—I've improved!

First off, I'm running faster than I did earlier today. My steps are lighter, smoother, and I'm not stumbling all over the place anymore. I even manage to cover more distance before my legs finally give out beneath me.

Second, while I'm still panting like crazy, the pain isn't nearly as bad as it used to be. The burning in my chest, the aching in my limbs—it's there, but it's duller now. Bearable.

Well... okay, it still sucks. I do end up flat on my back in the grass again, limbs sprawled like a melted pancake, every muscle trembling like jelly.

But yeah, definitely better now.

My cat girl genetics must be kicking in.

Because as a proud Cat Furren, we're known for one thing above all else: fast recovery!

As long as we're well-fed, we bounce back quick!

Give us food, and we're good to go!

That wyvern leg definitely gave me more than enough nutrition. It wasn't just food—it was power. I could practically feel the energy soaking into my bones while I slept.

So, using this insane catgirl advantage, Eris and I have put together a perfect training routine.

We rest for a bit, just enough for our bodies to cool down.

Then we shower, scarf down more wyvern meat, and take another quick cat nap to reset our energy.

And after that?

Another two-hour run.

Just like that, the cycle continues—run, eat, rest—on repeat, each loop lasting around four hours.

The pattern is simple, but it works.

And every single time, I can feel myself growing stronger. Bit by bit, round by round.

My stamina is going up. My speed is improving. My recovery is insane.

Even my appetite is growing. I'm eating way more wyvern meat than I could've managed this morning!

Eventually, the clock ticks to 10 p.m.

And with it—the fourth and final training session of the day is complete.

I collapse into the grass one last time, heart pounding, breath ragged… but grinning.

Because I did it.

I survived the whole day.

________________________

After the evening bath, we decide to head straight to bed.

I flop face-first onto my soft, plushy mattress.

Huff!

"Woooaaahhh~! I did it! I actually trained this much in one day!"

I sprawl out like a starfish—arms and legs stretched in every direction, my head buried deep into the pillow. The sheets are cool and smell faintly of clean linen and sweet crimson flowers. I can tell the catgirl maid has been doing a wonderful job with the laundry.

My muscles still throb, but honestly? It's not that bad anymore. Nothing compared to how it felt after that brutal first round.

Muehehe… progress!

I'm so proud of me right now!

Meanwhile, Eris casually climbs onto the bed and plops down right on top of me, like I'm her personal mattress.

She leans in close—and suddenly whispers something that sends a cold chill racing down my spine.

"Hey… are you ready?"

"Eh? Ready for what?" I lift my head slightly and peek at her.

"What else could it be? Your big surprise!"

…

WHAAAAAT?!

Oh shit!

I remember now!

Earlier, Eris said she was gonna give me a huge surprise to spice things up!

But tonight???

Really? Is she insane?

"Wa-wai-wait A MINUTE!" I yelp, twisting my neck to look at her. "D-do you really wanna do it now?"

My heart slams against my ribs like a drumroll.

"Eh? Why not?" Eris murmurs, her voice suddenly low and husky. Her eyes narrow with mischief, and a wicked little smile spreads across her lips.

"B-b... But..."

I mean...

After running a crazy amount today, I'm completely wiped out! I've got zero stamina left! My body feels like a soggy towel that's been wrung out six times over! Sore in places I didn't even know had muscles!

So can I… really have sex on top of that right now?

Huhu…

But then, I glance up at her again.

She looks so excited. Her eyes are shining. Her tail's flicking eagerly behind her.

"You don't want it? Just a little bit?" Eris pouts, lowering her voice into a soft, teasing whimper. Her ears droop a little, and her eyes sparkle with hope. "I promise it'll feel really good. It will hurt a little bit at first though… but don't worry, I'll gentle! And as soon as your body becomes used to it, you will get addicted!"

"W-wait a minute!!! W-w-what are you talking about?"

Hurt at first???

And she promised to be gentle?

Oh shit!

I was right!

She definetely wanting to do it!

Huhuuuu~

However… seeing her like this makes me feel so guilty inside!

She's been amazing today—training me, cheering me on, feeding me the best meal I've ever had in my life.

If I say no now... she'll be so disappointed.

And besides... it is the "big surprise." I can't help but feel curious.

…

ALRIGHT, FINE!

"J-just a little bit then?" I mumble, face burning.

"YEAAAAAS!" Eris throws her hand in the air and grins from ear to ear.

"Alright! You just take off your clothes, lay flat on your belly, and relax. Leave everything to me!"

"O-Okay!" I squeak.

Without hesitation, I scramble out of my pajamas and plop back down, face-first into the sheets.

Now I'm lying there, completely naked, chest down, feeling the cool air brush across my skin while I wait for Eris to bring out her mysterious big surprise.

________________________________

Moments later...

It's unsettlingly quiet.

The kind of quiet that makes your ears ring.

My heart's pounding like a war drum inside my chest.

Big surprise... what the hell is that?!

Will it be a giant... thing? Like... that kind of thing???

"NyaaaaaAAAA!"

I bury my face deep into the pillows, my thoughts spiraling out of control.

This is gonna be the first time I take it.

So… it's gonna hurt a little, right?

Just a bit?

But then—bam!—a vivid image of Eris flashes through my head. Her eyes glinting, lips curled in that teasing smirk, with that thing between her legs like she's ready to ruin me in the best way possible.

Oh gosh...

She's gonna look so hot doing it.

Hehe… hehehe…

I can't stop grinning. My face is already flushed, my tail's twitching like crazy under the sheets, and my body's tense with anticipation. Every second feels like a hundred heartbeats.

And then—

Eris returns.

She climbs onto the bed, knees sinking softly into the mattress as she hovers over me.

"Tadaa!!!" she chirps, grinning from ear to ear. "Hehehe, it's gonna feel soooo good! Trust me!"

"Nn!" I nod quickly, swallowing hard, trying not to panic.

But then…

I glance back.

And what I see in her hands makes my ears flick straight up.

"Wait a minute..."

I blink in confusion.

"What the heck is THAT?"

Because the thing in her hands...

Is NOT the thing I thought it was!

Oh man!

It's just a big, long, bumpy cylinder that I don't even know what the heck it is. A weapon? Maybe even a rolling pin? Where the heck did she even get it? Did she raid the kitchen while I was napping?

Whatever it is... it's not what my perverted little brain imagined!

I feel so embarrassed and silly right now…

Anyway, I stare at the thing in her hands and wonder what in the world she's planning to do with it now.

"Ready?" Eris asks, her eyes glinting with mischief, her tail swaying behind her like a playful little menace.

"Y-yeah," I whisper, though I honestly have no idea what I've just agreed to.

_____________________

Moments later...

Oh damn.

It feels so nice!

Right now, Eris is kneeling beside me, using that mysterious rolling pin to glide slowly along my back.

"Mmmmhh!"

She starts from the top, pressing it gently into my shoulders and rolling it downward with slow, steady strokes. Across my upper back, between my shoulder blades, down to my lower spine.

Then she shifts to my arms, rolling along the biceps and triceps, letting the ridges dig into every sore inch. Then it's my legs—thighs first, then calves.

Even my tail gets the royal treatment. She hums as she carefully rolls it between her hands like she's polishing some rare treasure.

The pressure is perfect—not too soft to be useless, not too rough to make me hurt. It's like she's pressing the soreness right out of my muscles, smoothing me out like a tired lump of dough.

It feels kind of silly, honestly.

I'm literally being rolled like a pastry.

But oh gods... it's so, so good.

My entire body sinks deeper into the bed. My fingers twitch lazily, and my ears droop as my eyes flutter shut. With each slow pass, the tightness in my body just melts away.

My skin tingles slightly wherever the roller passes. Warmth spreads through me like soft butter on toast.

"Mmmh… this is so nice…~" I mumble into the pillow, purring without even thinking.

"Hehe, you're so squishy, Felicia!" Eris giggles, clearly proud of herself.

Just a few more rolls, and my muscles feel like jelly. My limbs are heavy but relaxed, like I'm floating in a sleepy fog.

So I don't move. I just lay there and soak it in.

But then, after a few blissful minutes, I hear a soft clack as she sets the roller aside.

I blink.

Then—step. Step.

She's standing on the bed.

And now… she's standing on me!

One of her foot is planted carefully on my spine. I can feel some of her weight pressing down already.

"Okay, time for more stretching!" she announces cheerfully.

"Eh? W-wait, what kind of stretching—?"

Too late.

She leans forward, grabs both of my arms from behind, and pulls.

"HNNNNG—!!!"

My spine bends back like a fully drawn bowstring. My chest lifts off the bed, my arms pulled taut, and for a moment—

Crack!

Pop!

Crrk!

"AAAAAAAAH!"

A jolt of sharp pain shoots up my back like lightning.

But then—

Relief.

Pure, golden, bone-deep relief floods through me. Every stubborn knot in my spine just... disappears.

I collapse into the mattress, gasping, drooling slightly into the pillow.

"A...again... please!"
