"Misty, Kazuki and Lara went to see the Rapidash—why are they taking so long? Do you think something happened?" Suzie grew worried as Kazuki and Lara still hadn't returned.
"Something happened?" Misty took a bite of lamb leg, pondering for a moment. "What could possibly happen to them? Dario's been arrested, Team Rocket's been driven off! There shouldn't be any trouble left!"
"Maybe we should go look for them!"
"Look for them…" Misty's attention was suddenly stolen by a new dish being served.
"Ah! That looks delicious! Suzie, I'm gonna try it! You go ahead, I'll catch up with you later!"
With that, Misty dashed toward the freshly served dish.
Suzie hesitated for a moment but, still uneasy about Kazuki, decided to head toward Lara's pasture.
"Perfect chance to learn from Lara!"
"With Lara as my role model, I'm sure I'll be able to get hugs and kisses from Kazuki too!"
Cheerful, Suzie made her way to the pasture.
As she walked, she suddenly heard strange noises.
What's that sound?
Is someone digging a well?
The customs of the Laramie people are really odd…
Why would they start such a big project in the middle of the night?
She took a few more steps forward, gradually recognizing the sounds.
Wait… that sounds like Lara's voice?
Did she and Kazuki run into trouble?
Alarmed, Suzie quickened her pace toward the source of the noise. But as she got closer, her steps slowed.
Kazuki's voice is there too…
It doesn't sound like they're in danger.
Wait… what's this?
Her eyes landed on a piece of light-blue pantie on the ground.
Huh?!
What's going on?
How did this end up out here?!
Just as she bent down to inspect it, Lara suddenly let out a sharp cry, startling Suzie so badly she immediately hid behind a nearby haystack.
"Mm? Kazuki, did you… throw mine out there?"
"Dunno, maybe?"
"I'll go check!"
"Stay there, I'll go." Sensing another presence outside, Kazuki figured it was best to handle it himself.
"Then… hurry back. I want to lie in your arms again." Even though she was already Kazuki's woman, Lara still couldn't get enough of him—even a second apart felt too long.
"Got it. It's just outside, I didn't throw it far."
Kazuki stepped out from the haystack, the moonlight outlining his muscular frame.
Peeking from behind the haystack, Suzie caught a full glimpse of his physique.
"Ah—!"
She instinctively gasped before clapping a hand over her mouth.
As Kazuki bent down to pick up the light-blue pantie, his peripheral vision caught a familiar pair of feet.
Suzie?
Hah, here to join in, or what?
Well, if she's hiding, she probably needs more time before she's ready to be 'caught.'
"Kazuki~ Did you find it? Your little cream puff misses you!" Unaware of the situation outside, Lara continued teasing with bold, flirtatious words.
Kazuki chuckled and returned to the haystack.
Relieved that he hadn't spotted her, Suzie exhaled sharply.
Phew…
Thank goodness he didn't see me!
That… that was Kazuki's… dick…
Oh my god!
Were Kazuki and Lara…?!
Lara's really bold in pursuing what she wants!
When will I ever break through my own mental barriers?!
But then again, Kazuki's so strong…
Can her body even handle it?
Huh?! Wait—
What am I thinking?!
Haaah… haaah…
Her face burning, Suzie took a few deep breaths before scrambling to her feet and fleeing the pasture.
She nearly crashed into Misty, who was holding a skewer of grilled meat, at the fork in the path.
"Did you find them?" Misty asked, her mouth shiny with grease.
Suzie grabbed Misty's wrist. "They're… they're fine! There's a Tauros… breeding, and Kazuki and Lara are helping. We shouldn't disturb them! Let's go back and keep eating!"
"Breeding? Oh, that's not really my thing. Alright, let's go back then!" Trusting Kazuki's capabilities completely, Misty had no reason to worry and happily followed Suzie back to the feast.

Meanwhile, warmth lingered inside the haystack. Lara, wrapped in Kazuki's coat, snuggled into his arms. "There really wasn't anyone outside, right?"
"Nope."
"Phew! Good!" Relieved, Lara joked, "Good thing no one saw, or your big dick would've scared them silly!"
Kazuki stroked her sweat-damp hair. "Scare them? Weren't you scared at first?"
Lara stifled a laugh and lifted her head. "I'm the future chief of the Laramie Tribe! Why would I be scared?"
"Even when I bled earlier, I… I wasn't really afraid…"
"Yeah, my Lara's the bravest." Kazuki praised, hooking a finger under her chin.
"By the way, Lara, are you taking over as chief soon?"
Lara nodded. "Yep! I'll need some time to get used to the duties."
"But don't worry—once I'm chief, I'll only have to come back at the start of each year to handle affairs. The rest of the time, I can stay with you!"
"Then, I'll serve you every single day! Hehehe!"
Lara had no reservations when it came to her man, openly declaring her feelings.
"Every day? You wild girl, you've got endless energy!"
Recalling Lara's earlier enthusiasm, Kazuki felt increasingly grateful for his indestructible stamina.
"Of course! Kazuki, I love you so much! Even if I had to bear a hundred of your babies, I'd do it gladly!" Lara's gaze was filled with adoration again, as if her post-bliss clarity had already passed.
"You little minx, so that's why you clung to me so tightly earlier?" Kazuki smirked.
"N-No! I just… think everything about you is precious! I didn't want to waste a single drop!" Lara pouted playfully.
"Oh really? If you don't want to waste it, I've got more. You…"
Before Kazuki could finish his teasing, Lara's excitement flared again.
"Mhm! I can…!"
Her rigorous horseback training had granted her faster recovery than Delia or Officer Jenny.
With that, Lara pounced on Kazuki once more.
