"The two of us…"

[Lust Level: 1—>2!]
[Your Lust Level has increased!]
The Orc wanted to focus on the System messages but found himself unable to.
Torn between the messages, the Elf's words, and the swirl of sensations running through his body, the Orc didn't know where to direct his attention.
He felt a sudden increase in body heat that forced him to gulp.
Her soft hand on his back, her gentle voice, her body's curves visible here and there through the cuts in her clothes…
'This is…' The Orc immediately found the word to describe it. 'Lust…?'
His body was reacting to her. It was reacting differently than it used to. Or perhaps, it simply felt different.
When the Orc still lacked the ability to think and reason, lust was nothing more than an instinct. Now, however, it felt like something foreign. Something separate from himself. Something that was slowly seeping into him.
It was a strange sensation that used to make him groan as a way to get her hand off him. But now, he did not groan. He enjoyed her touch.
"The two of us are sort of in the same boat, aren't we?" She whispered in a sorrowful voice.
The Orc found lust to be debilitating. He couldn't think clearly. He was having trouble focusing on her words, and on the words floating in front of him.
"Well… It's not like you're not one of them." The Elf scratched her cheek. "But you're also not one of them."
It was true. The Orc had always felt like an outsider. And he was one.
"The way that they treat you…" She had her gaze lowered slightly, moving from one scar on his back to the next. "I can't help but feel bad."
The Elf raised her gaze a moment later, and the two stared at each other.
"I understand the urge to beat them up." She chuckled. "So good for you, standing up for yourself." The more that they stared at each other, the closer the Elf's eyebrows got. "Looking at me like that… It's almost like you can understand me."
The Orc gulped and turned away just as the Elf lowered her gaze.
'Could he…' She scratched her cheek, staring at the ground. 'Really be different from the others?' The Elf blushed, suddenly realizing that she still had her palm on his warm and wide back.
The Orc started walking again, shaking his head.
His gaze went back towards the System messages.

[You have gained the Skill "Electric Touch[E]".]
[Electric Touch[E-Rank]: Your touch has a slight chance of provoking a lustful and pleasurable reaction.]
[Currently Lust Level: 3.]
'Stats and a Skill!'
The Orc had previously ignored the Lust Level part of the Status Window.
'If I can gain Stats and Skills with this, then it's the most important thing for me right now! How can I increase my Lust Level?'
[Your Lust Level increases in accordance with the intensity of your lustful feelings and thoughts.]
[Your Lust Level also increases when your understand of your own Lust and that of others deepens.]
'Hm…'
For some reason, the System messages reminded him of how the others had been acting with the Elf.
Whenever one of them thought they could get away with it, and would approach her cage with crazed expressions on their faces and…
The Orc's eyes narrowed. That was the strongest image in his mind of what Lust was.
After all, in their village, the other Orcs didn't act much differently.
However, the Orc couldn't help but think that perhaps Lust could look differently from that.
Turning around to get another glimpse of the caged Elf… Yes, that must be the case.
He thought about the Affection gauge Skill before turning away from her.
[Affection Gauge: 13/100 —> 17/100.]
[Affection has increased!]
The Orc's foot was suddenly grabbed by an overgrown tree root, making him stumble.
'Tsk.' He clicked his tongue. 'My Lust and her presence are making me… I'm having trouble walking straight.' The Orc shook his head again. 'It's because I keep thinking about it! Thinking while walking is making walking difficult!'
Still, he couldn't help but think!
To increase his Lust Level, the Orc needs to deepen his understanding of his own Lust and that of others… If that's the case, then what is her Lust like? The Orc couldn't keep that question from living rent-free in his head, causing him to stumble again and again, and eventually causing one of the stronger Orcs to punch him in the gut.
"..." The Elf scratched her nose. "You'll get him next time." She whispered with a thumbs-up. "Wait…" The Elf tilted her head. "Did he go easy on you? That punch barely made you flinch…"
