EP.2 Human Ranch - 2
Human ranch.
At first glance, it sounded like a harsh word, but the reality was different from what I had imagined.
I had pictured something like the pens for pigs or cows in a rural farming village, but I was now standing in front of a sleek, modern building.
Together with Sua, who was practically my senior here.
"Here, this is Building 1, one of the ranch buildings managed by our branch."
"Does that mean that in the other buildings next to this one, there are also people being raised?"
Next to the building marked "1," there were two more identical buildings.
"That's right. We call them Building 1 through Building 3, just as they're labeled."
"It feels like the workload would be enormous."
Even simply raising livestock is a huge amount of work unless you're an experienced professional.
But I was a modern person who had never even tried farming, let alone raising livestock.
"Managing three buildings... no, this whole area-doesn't that mean we have to feed people and clean up after them?"
"That's not really the case. Food and cleaning are all handled automatically by the system."
"If that's the case... I guess that does reduce the workload a lot..."
"Our main job is to operate the system directly or handle special situations. So most of the time, it's pretty peaceful."
Come to think of it, if even cleaning was handled by machines, it might not be so bad.
If it were a tough job, she wouldn't be able to manage this vast space alone.
"The rest, I'll explain as I guide you inside. Come along."
The entrance to the building was made of thick steel, as if determined not to let a single person slip by.
Sua tapped a card and scanned her fingerprint at a terminal installed on the side.
Then the thick door opened, revealing a pure white space.
"It feels like a research lab."
The space was as clean as a biology lab, and there was another door leading to the next area.
There were also several cabinets lined up on both sides.
"Except for your bracelet, put all your clothes and belongings in the cabinet."
"Huh...? Everything?"
Everything...? Here?
The door we had come through was already firmly closed.
Now, only Sua and I were here.
There wasn't even a changing room to cover myself.
"I was a bit surprised at first too, but it's to protect the humans being raised here."
"Protect? From what? With a steel door like that, what could get in...?"
"It's to protect against viruses and bacteria. If any illness gets in, it becomes a real headache."
"Even if they're treated like livestock, they're still people. Is it really necessary to go that far?"
"Even a simple cold can greatly reduce mana production. If it spreads, it's a much bigger problem."
"Couldn't you just quarantine them?"
"When the ranch first started, that's what they did, but when problems arose, the fallout was too great, so they changed it to this."
As she spoke, Sua walked over to a cabinet.
"Besides, even just our branch produces enough mana to power a large city."
"A whole city...?"
That much would certainly cause major problems if something went wrong.
And since mana wasn't used just for electricity, it could even affect things like prices.
Still, it was hard to accept having to undress in a room alone with a beautiful woman.
But Sua calmly took off her pants.
"Ah..."
A gasp escaped me without thinking.
Sua's legs were smooth, without a single scar.
Not only that, but she radiated an innocent charm.
She then took off her white shirt and put it in the cabinet, leaving only her blue underwear covering her private areas.
Sua glanced at me briefly, but aside from a faint blush, she even took off her bra.
'Maybe this world isn't so bad after all...'
Although I couldn't see her nipples or areola from behind, just the fact that a beauty like Sua was half-naked was enough to stir my desire.
And then her hand moved to her last remaining piece of underwear-her panties.
Sliiide-
Bending forward slightly, Sua lowered her panties.
Her back was both innocent and strangely alluring, burned into my mind.
"Ah... you're still... not undressed?"
Turning around, Sua tried to act nonchalant, but a bit of embarrassment showed through.
Even so, she made no attempt to cover herself.
Her blush deepened, but her pink vagina, nipples, and areola drew my gaze.
Especially below-there wasn't a single pubic hair.
It looked like she had never grown any hair there at all, not shaved-a perfectly clean, white vulva.
Her pink, cute, and lovely vagina made me lose my mind for a moment.
"Ah... um... I'll get undressed right away."
With a dazed voice, I hurriedly took off my clothes.
But soon I realized there was a problem.
After tossing my gray shirt into the cabinet and reaching down, my lower body was already showing my arousal.
'Dammit...'
It was only natural after seeing such an erotic sight.
My sweatpants did nothing to hide my erection; if anything, it made it more obvious.
"I need to explain inside, so..."
At her urging, I took off my pants and put them in the cabinet.
When I took off my underwear, my penis sprang up toward the ceiling, displaying my desire.
Being naked was fine.
But as soon as I turned around, there was no way to hide my erection.
Covering it with my hands would only make it more awkward, and it wouldn't hide anything.
Might as well be confident.
With that thought, I turned around, and Sua looked at my penis and let out a small sound.
"Ah..."
It couldn't be helped.
If you weren't aroused being naked alone with a beauty like Sua, there would be something wrong with you.
Fortunately, she didn't look angry or about to yell.
On the contrary, I saw curiosity in her eyes.
"So that's what a man's thing looks like..."
She muttered as if she'd never seen a man's penis before.
"You're... uh... erect, right...?"
"Yes... sorry, but it's a physiological reaction, I can't help it..."
"I... I understand... we're alone and naked, after all..."
Sua operated the terminal and opened the door to the next area.
But even as she did, she kept glancing at my penis.
Because of that, a subtly sensual atmosphere filled the air.
"Next is... the washing room."
As she said, the next room was a corridor lined with showers on all sides.
It was easy to guess it was meant for washing up as you passed through.
"You don't have access yet, so... stick with me..."
I followed her as she led the way.
Walking behind a naked beauty only made my erection harder.
Sua's large, firm buttocks had a beautiful shape.
To be honest, they were so attractive I wanted to grab them.
Sssshhhhh-
Water sprayed from all sides.
Sua's pure white naked body was drenched, water droplets splashing everywhere.
She looked so beautiful under the spray, it felt like a goddess descending to a lake.
After a while, we reached the end of the corridor, and warm air automatically dried our wet bodies.
Whoooosh-! Whooosh-
"It's your first time, so you're not used to it, right?"
Not at all.
If anything, I was too distracted admiring her sexy body to feel uncomfortable.
Even though the water hit my face, I barely noticed, too focused on her wet form.
"It's fine. I'll get used to it eventually."
When the door opened, Sua started walking ahead again, still naked.
"But now that we're inside, aren't we going to put on clothes?"
"Because of contamination, we can't wear clothes inside here."
Maybe we were getting used to talking naked, because Sua's voice was much calmer than before.
Of course, she wasn't completely free of embarrassment.
"So, does that mean we'll always be naked while working?"
"It was awkward for me at first too, but you get used to it. And the building is kept warm enough that it's not unhealthy to be naked."
She was right-it was much warmer than outside.
If I had worn clothes, I might have even started sweating.
"Now, this is the real human ranch."
When Sua opened the door, what I saw was completely outside anything I would have considered normal.
Literally, inside metal pens like you'd see on a ranch, naked women were crawling around on the floor.
The white floor looked sleek and clean, but the metal fences holding them in made it obvious this was a ranch.
"Ah... so it really does exist..."
Seeing women crawling naked in the pens, I couldn't deny the reality of the human ranch.
