Chapter 299 Best Way to Start the Day

The cool river water flowed around them as Suzuka and Olivia reveled in their stolen moments. Their laughter echoed softly across the tranquil landscape, punctuated by the gentle splashes they made.

Olivia's eyes sparkled with naughtiness. She moved closer, her fingers trailing lazily over Suzuka's damp skin. 

"I think you still owe me for that tiny sleeping bag challenge," she murmured, her voice a blend of playfulness and desire.

Suzuka raised an eyebrow, her smile teasing. 

"Oh, do I? And what exactly do I owe you?"

Olivia leaned in, her lips brushing Suzuka's ear as she whispered, "Just a bit more of that adventurous spirit."

Before Suzuka could respond, Olivia captured her lips in a passionate kiss, her hands roaming freely over Suzuka's body. The river's coolness contrasted sharply with the heat building between them, making each touch more electrifying. Suzuka's hands found Olivia's waist, pulling her closer, their bodies fitting together seamlessly even in the water's gentle current.

Their kisses deepened, becoming more urgent. Olivia's boldness was met with Suzuka's equal fervor. The river around them seemed to pulse with their shared energy. Suzuka's fingers traced patterns on Olivia's back, sending shivers down her spine. Olivia responded by nibbling softly on Suzuka's neck, her breath hot against the coolness of the morning air.

As the sun rose higher, casting a warm glow over the scene, Suzuka's playful demeanor slipped, replaced by a more intense passion. She gently pushed Olivia against a smooth rock at the river's edge, her hands exploring every curve and dip of her lover's body. Olivia gasped, her nails digging into Suzuka's shoulders as the intensity of their embrace grew.

 Each touch, each kiss, was a promise of more to come, a silent vow of their deep connection. Their moans mingled with the sounds of the river, creating a symphony of desire that echoed in the quiet morning.

After another few hours of shared passion, they finally pulled apart, their breathing heavy and ragged. Olivia's eyes were dark with delight and lingering desire. Suzuka smiled, a mix of satisfaction and affection in her gaze.

"Consider your debt paid," Olivia said with a satisfied grin, her voice husky from their recent sweats.

Suzuka chuckled softly, pulling Olivia into a tender embrace. 

"Good. Because I think we might need another sleeping bag."

As Olivia and Suzuka were enjoying their intimate moment in the river, a few goblins began to wake up. Groggy and still half-asleep, they stumbled toward the source of the funny noises that had piqued their curiosity. Their clumsy feet and sleep stupor made them wobble and trip over each other as they rubbed sleep from their eyes.

When they reached the riverbank, they saw Olivia and Suzuka snuggling in the water. But in their drowsy state, the goblins couldn't comprehend what was happening. Their tiny, nut-sized brains misinterpreted the scene and assumed the two women were drowning and needed immediate rescue.

The goblins exchanged confused looks, their heads bobbing from side to side as they tried to process the situation.

 "Gah! Masters drowning! Help! Help! They drowning! We must help!" one goblin squeaked, his voice trembling with concern.

Another goblin, his face scrunched up in bewilderment, added, "But how we help? We no have floaty things!"

The first goblin started to run in circles, flapping his arms wildly. 

"We save them! We must save them!" he chanted in his goblin tongue, his panic growing with each step.

Their frantic actions caught the attention of a few other goblins, who quickly joined in the chaos. Soon, a dozen goblins were running in circles, squealing nonsense, and waving their arms as if trying to conjure a plan from thin air.

Olivia and Suzuka, caught off guard by the sudden commotion, turned to see the goblins' frantic display. Suzuka's eyes widened in surprise before she burst into laughter.

 "Oh, for crying out loud! They're trying to rescue us? Looks like our fun time is over. We should leave before everyone sees us naked and snuggling."

Olivia, equally amused, tried to contain her giggles as she called out, "It's okay, little guys! We're not drowning! Just having a bit of fun!"

But the goblins, too deep in their heroic delusions, didn't hear her nor understand what she was saying. One particularly brave goblin grabbed a large stick and waded into the river, splashing water everywhere as he attempted to reach the "drowning" women. His tiny legs struggled against the current, and he looked more like he was in need of rescue himself.

Suzuka, her laughter echoing across the river, finally managed to stand up and wade toward the shore. She gently picked up the brave goblin and set him back on solid ground. 

"Thank you for your bravery," she said, still chuckling. 

"But we're fine, really."

The goblins, now fully awake and realizing their mistake, looked around sheepishly.

 "We sorry, Master Helen," one goblin muttered who knew a few words of human tongue, scratching his head in embarrassment as he stole quick glances at Suzuka's beautiful form.

 "We thought you need saving."

Olivia walked up beside Suzuka, wrapping an arm around her waist.

 "It's okay, guys. We appreciate the thought."

The goblins, now more relaxed, exchanged relieved smiles and nods.

Suzuka couldn't resist adding with a playful grin, "Next time, maybe just bring us breakfast instead of trying to rescue us."

The goblins, eager to redeem themselves, quickly agreed. 

"Yes, breakfast! We make the best breakfast!" they chorused, scampering off to prepare a feast.

As the goblins hurried away, Suzuka and Olivia shared a loving glance, their morning interrupted but their spirits high.

 "Well, that was one way to start the day," Olivia said, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Suzuka nodded, pulling her closer.

 "I bet you now, there will never be a dull moment with these little guys around."

Hand in hand, they walked back to the camp, and into Suzuka's tent.

With the sun now above the tree line, everyone was awake and ready for a new day of work. The hatchlings were already bustling with activity, learning new skills from their dwarven mentors and Silvia. The goblins were slowly but steadily working on the deforestation project, with Jacob keeping a close eye on their progress.

Isaac, after a few hours of rest, resumed his guard duties, patrolling the perimeter with a watchful eye. He greeted the day with renewed energy, ensuring no monsters or threats approached their camp.

 Meanwhile, Olivia, Larry, and his group gathered after their scouting mission to finalize their plan to rescue the goblin slaves. Larry approached Suzuka, who was adjusting her disguise in front of a makeshift mirror. Dressed in a convincingly tattered slave attire, Suzuka looked every bit the part of it. Hermit, donning the guise of an evil goblin guard, nervously fidgeted with his makeshift armor, trying to look as menacing as possible.

"Larry," Suzuka called out, "is everything set? Are the evil goblins still in the same spot?"

Larry nodded, his expression serious. 

"Yes, they're still there. We can proceed with the plan. Just remember, we need to be convincing. The slightest slip-up could endanger everyone, especially the slaves. I still feel bad letting you do this but I have to admit that I got no better plan."

Suzuka's eyes sparkled with resolve.

 "Don't worry, we've got this. Let's save those goblins. Just like the first time, it will work out."

The team gathered, reviewing their roles and the intricacies of their plan. Olivia, with her knack for strategy, outlined the steps they needed to take. 

"Suzuka, you'll play the role of the captured. Hermit, you need to be intimidating and make sure the evil goblins believe you're one of them. Larry's group and I will be ready to move in at the first sign of trouble. The main objective is to get the slaves to safely."

With a final nod of agreement, they set out, moving stealthily through the forest toward the location of the evil goblin camp, each step bringing them closer to the heart of danger.

As they approached the camp, Suzuka took a deep breath, preparing herself for the act. Hermit, despite his fear, straightened up and put on his best intimidating face, which was more comical than anything close to being called intimidating. Olivia, Larry, Mia, and Jake positioned themselves strategically around the perimeter, ready to intervene if things went south. Max took a post into a tall, well-concealing tree, ready with his bow.

Entering the open clearing from the forest toward the goblin camp, Suzuka and Hermit were met with suspicious and panicky glances from the evil goblins. Suzuka, feigning weakness and submission, stumbled forward, her head bowed. Hermit barked out orders in a harsh tone, tugging on her restraints, trying to sell the illusion of authority.

"Move, slave! Drag those feet faster!" 

"I come bearing a gift," Hermit growled, pushing Suzuka roughly.

 "A fine breeding whore. She'll serve as a valuable slave." Hermit shouted from a distance.

The evil goblins allowed them to approach while eyeing Suzuka with interest and lust, their greed was evident. One of them, larger and more imposing than the others, stepped forward.

"Is that so?" he sneered, eyeing Suzuka from head to toe. 

"She does look like she has some fight in her. How did you manage to capture her?"

Hermit swallowed hard, though trembling inside, he maintained his composure and spun an elaborate tale.

"It was during a raid on a breeding farm. Adventurers attacked, causing chaos. In the confusion, I escaped, and managed to snatch one of the breeding slaves," he gestured towards Suzuka, feigning pride.

While Hermit wove his fabricated story, the other goblins circled Suzuka like vultures, their eyes glistening with lust. They barely restrained themselves from tearing off her clothes. One of them struck the back of her knees, pushing her to the ground, while another started groping her voluptuous curves.

Hermit convulsed in fear, realizing their plan might fail if Suzuka's anger erupted. He knew well her strength and feared she might snap, slaughtering the goblins left and right. But Suzuka played her role flawlessly, her expression vacant, eyes dull, acting every bit the broken slave.

Hermit, sensing the need to act quickly, suggested, "Let's take her to the breeding cave and start making more goblins."

The larger goblin, clearly the leader, whacked one of his guards over the head and barked, "Drag her to the breeding cave! Breed her until her belly pops and then some. She looks tough; she can take it."
