Family Circumstances!
Winti and Hypno were of one mind—they both wanted to reach Zenid as quickly as possible.
As they walked, Winti spoke up.
"Hypno…… can you carry me on your back…… like before?"
"Of course! Ah, but mind if I move you a different way this time?"
"Differ…… ent?"
"Just like this!"
Hypno scooped Wintineas up into a princess carry.
"This way I get to look at your face the whole time. Nice, right?"
And I can knead her thighs even more.
"You're okay with it too, Winti?"
"Mm…… okay……. Let's go, Hypno……."
Grinning at her consent, Hypno kicked off the ground and raced toward Zenid.
They arrived right around lunchtime.
"Food first!"
"Mm. Ah, over there…… looks tasty."
Hypno followed Wintineas into the shop she recommended and ordered at once.
The dishes that arrived were a heaping plate of meatballs swimming in sauce and a thick stew loaded with chunks of meat.
"Nothing beats meat after a quest!"
"Mm…… meat gives…… strength……."
"Right, you're a half-elf. Guess you're not a vegetarian."
"Elves…… eat meat…… normally too?"
"Really?"
"Mm…… if you only eat grass…… no strength……."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
So elves in this world are omnivores, huh.
"……."
While they waited for the food, Wintineas stared straight at Hypno, then opened her mouth.
"Hypno…… why did you become…… an adventurer?"
"Me?"
"Mm. I want…… to hear. You said it's to make money…… but why…… do you want money?"
"Well, you see~."
In the brief moment before he spoke, Hypno spun his heightened Intelligence through the question at top speed.
Should I just tell her the truth? That I'm earning money for Linia and Lani…… Hmm, why am I even worrying? It's not like it's a secret. Winti's my precious partner and sex friend! An angel, even! I don't want to hide things one by one.
Decision made, he answered honestly.
"I've got wives I need to support."
"Wives……?"
To Hypno, Linia and Lani—both already carrying his children—were already his wives.
"Yeah. Linia and Lani. The wives I love."
"Hypno…… you're married……?"
"Not officially. More like a common-law thing. And both of them are pregnant with my kids right now. I need money to raise the little ones, and later I'll have fun adventure stories to tell them. That's why I became an adventurer."
"I see……."
Wintineas closed her eyes and thought it over carefully before speaking again.
"They're pregnant……. Is it okay…… not being with them?"
"Don't worry about that. I used my magic to freeze their pregnancies. We've got time—about two years or so."
"……Hypno, you're really…… amazing."
Having already witnessed his strange magic firsthand, Wintineas accepted the explanation without question.
"But…… won't it be hard…… for just the women?"
"Ah, that's fine. There's Glenn and Jake—Linia's and Lani's husbands."
"……Huh?"
Wintineas couldn't make sense of what he was saying.
"Aren't you…… the husband?"
"I'm a husband too."
"Two…… husbands?"
"Yep. Originally Linia and Lani were Glenn's and Jake's wives, but now they're mine."
"Uh…… mm…… plun…… der?"
"Nah, not plunder. If anything, those two are happy that I fell in love with Linia and Lani and got together with them. We're all going to live together from now on."
Loving two women right in front of Glenn and Jake is weirdly addictive, you know.
"Uh…… uuuuuhmm……."
Wintineas tried her hardest to understand, but it still wouldn't click.
"Is that…… even possible?"
"Hehehe. All sorts of things happen in this world, Winti."
"I see……. Hypno…… you're really popular……."
"I do have my charms."
"Then…… being in a party with you…… is only for two years……."
Realizing she only had two years with him, Wintineas's heart sank a little.
"That's…… sad……."
"Win…… ti……!"
The sight of her gently lowering her head in quiet dejection hit Hypno square in the chest and moved him deeply.
She's that sad about parting with me!
"Don't worry, Winti! Even after two years, we just don't have to split up!"
"Huh? But…… aren't you quitting…… adventuring after two years?"
"I'll take a break, sure, but I won't quit. Even if I save up, I'll still need a steady income."
And if it comes down to it, I can just grab a teleport-type skill from the Status Window. Right now I want the adventuring feel, so I don't need it yet.
"Hey, Winti. Do you not want to leave me?"
At his blunt question, Wintineas nodded.
"Mm……. We only just…… formed a party. Being with you is…… fun. And…… the naughty stuff…… and the cool feeling…… I like all of it."
She glanced up at him. Anxiety flickered across her face.
"Even after two years…… I don't want…… to leave you."
"Win…… ti……! Same here! We finally teamed up and then bye-bye in two years? No way that's happening! So!"
Hypno seized her hand.
"After two years, let's just live together!"
"To…… gether?"
"Yeah! If I say so, all four of them will welcome you. We'll live under one roof, and when we go adventuring we'll head out together and make money!"
"Is that…… okay?"
"Of course! If everyone's fine with it, what's the problem?"
"Uh-uh…… I guess…… so? Ah, but……."
Wintineas thought to herself.
Two years from now.
When she was living with Hypno and those four people.
Would she be able to stop doing naughty things with him?
I couldn't…….
She already knew the cool relief and the pleasure he gave her.
The sweet feeling of his caresses.
The ecstasy of sex.
The refreshing rush of his semen.
And the simple joy of talking with him.
Wintineas wasn't an expert on romance between men and women, but she had a basic grasp of common sense.
"Then I won't be able to do…… naughty things with you……."
"Why not?"
"Huh?"
"Just do them."
"Uh…… mm…… won't they…… hate it?"
"Hehehe. Winti, relax. Linia and Lani won't get mad just because I'm with you."
One little hypnosis and it's settled.
"Re…… ally?"
"Really, really. Actually…… I was hoping to ask if I could do it with you and the two of them all together."
"To…… gether?"
"Yep. All of us doing naughty stuff in the same place. How about it, Winti?"
She considered it.
With other people…… at the same time?
A future where she couldn't do naughty things with Hypno versus a future where she did them with him and other people.
Which mattered more?
The answer came instantly.
"Uh…… I'm…… okay with it."
"Then problem solved! All good!"
"Mmm……?"
Wintineas tried to parse the full meaning of his words.
But—
Pssshhhhh……
Her brain promptly overloaded, so she decided to keep it simple.
Hypno's wives…… and their husbands……? They're…… really open-minded…….
She wouldn't have to leave him, and she could still do naughty things later.
Confirming that much was enough to satisfy her.
"Ah, food's here. Dig in, Winti."
"Mm."
And with that, Wintineas stopped thinking and focused on lunch.
"Munch munch…… this is good."
"Right……? Munch munch……. Ah."
While they were happily eating, Wintineas watched Hypno chewing and made a tiny sound.
"Hyp…… no."
"Hm?"
"Ah……."
She speared a meatball from her own plate with her fork and held it out to his mouth.
"Yesterday…… you fed me. This time…… I'll feed you."
"Ooooh……!"
I get the 'aah' treatment the very next day!
A small wave of emotion washed over him as he opened wide.
"Aah~ mmm. Munch munch…… gulp! Delicious! Even better because Winti fed me!"
"Re…… ally?"
"Really, really. Ah, one more bite. This time from my plate."
"Mm. Aah……."
She speared another piece of meat and brought it to his lips; he accepted it with relish.
Anyone watching would have seen nothing more than an ordinary lovey-dovey couple—not the bizarre duo who had just been discussing topics far more outrageous than any morning soap opera.
After finishing lunch, Hypno and Wintineas headed to the Adventurer's Guild and reported the completed quest to Mika.
"Great work on the request! Here's your reward."
Mika handed over the payment, then fixed Hypno with eyes brimming with anticipation.
"Hypno…… so from now on……!"
"You and I start in the evening, remember?"
"Ah, right. Heheh, I just got so excited about doing it with you! If you're okay with it…… we could head to the consultation room right now……♥"
Her bright smile twisted into the lewd, cum-hungry grin of a whore.
That was when Wintineas spoke up.
"No…… Mika."
"Huh? Wintineas?"
"Right now…… I have to do…… naughty things with Hypno."
"What!?"
The blunt declaration made Mika's whore-like expression freeze in wide-eyed shock.
"So…… wait until evening."
Wintineas was only telling her to wait her turn.
She never said Hypno was hers alone and off-limits.
"Uh…… y-yes."
"Hehehe. That's how it is, so be patient, Mika."
Hypno leaned in and whispered against her ear.
"Even after I'm done with Winti, I won't go easy on you. So get ready."
"Aaah♥♥ Yes♥♥♥"
He straightened up.
"We're heading out."
"H-have a…… good time."
"Mm……. You too, Mika…… have a good…… evening."
"Y-yes!"
And with that, Hypno and Wintineas left the guild.
"Mika…… must get really hot…… too……."
"Hm?"
"She's so excited…… about doing it with you. She must like…… the cool feeling."
"Aaah~ I think Mika just likes sex and cock more than the cool feeling."
"Huh? Sex and cock are cool and cold…… so isn't that the same thing?"
"Whoa."
Hypnosis really does create these little perception gaps. No need to fix it right this second, though.
"Hehehe. Slightly different nuance, Winti. More important than that…… where should we go?"
"Whe…… re?"
"We already left the guild. We did it in the consultation room yesterday, so…… let's try somewhere else today. What do you prefer? The inn you're staying at? Or…… hehehe, want to come to mine?"
Sound's no problem if I throw up a soundproof barrier. Dirt? Power Clean takes care of that.
"Uh…… then……."
"……I really didn't think we'd end up here this fast."
To do naughty things—sex—with Wintineas somewhere other than the consultation room, Hypno had let her choose the place.
He'd fully expected her to pick either his inn or hers.
But—
"If we're doing naughty stuff…… isn't this…… the right place?"
"No, you're absolutely right, Winti. When it comes to sex."
The place she chose was—
"A love hotel."
A sex-only inn standing on the night-street strip.
