A New Step Forward
That afternoon at lunch, Hypno called Linia, Lani, Glenn, and Jake together and laid it out.
"Um… I'm planning to leave the village for a while to make some money."
"Whaaaaaat?!"
"Hypno?"
"So you've made up your mind."
Linia and Lani recoiled in pure shock. Jake looked puzzled. Glenn simply accepted Hypno's resolve. Four different reactions, all fixed on him.
"H-Hypno! What are you saying?! Leave?!"
"She's right! M-money! You can earn it without leaving! Yeah! With your Power Clean, you'd get tons of regular customers!"
"Thanks for saying that, Lani. But… looking back on this past week, I realized something. When I'm with the two of you, I just… want to make love so badly I can't hold back…!"
"Hypno…♥"
Hearts practically sparkled in Linia and Lani's eyes at the confession of love. Meanwhile Jake and Glenn nodded along.
"Can't really deny that…"
"We've had some great days, sure… but yeah, that tendency was definitely there."
Smack!
Linia and Lani's open palms cracked across Glenn and Jake's backs.
"Ugh!"
"What is that supposed to mean?! You're fine with Hypno leaving?!"
"Yeah! Jake, Dad—I hate you both!"
"B-but Linia, Hypno has a point…"
"As a man, wanting to earn money to support the women he loves… I think that's a fine attitude…"
"That's beside the point! If Hypno leaves, who knows when he'll come back?!"
"If Hypno's not here… I'll die of loneliness…"
Linia… Lani…
Seeing the two of them so unwilling to let him go, so heartbroken, made Hypno's chest tighten and his resolve waver. But for the sake of their future happiness, he steeled himself again.
"Linia, Lani. I want to make you both happy. Not just by making you feel good with sex—I want to raise your whole quality of life, make money plentiful… so we can raise the kids without any worries."
"Hypno…"
"But…"
"Right now my magic has both of you under pregnancy stop, so we still have time. In that window… I'll earn a mountain of money and come back. Enough that we can live together for the rest of our lives! I'll make a fortune!"
"W-we don't need that much money… as long as you're by our side, Hypno…"
"Mom and I would be happy with just that… I-I'll go earn the money! Th-then…"
"Ugh…!"
Hearing the woman I love say something like that…!
The resolve that had been shaking solidified even harder at Lani's words.
"Linia, Lani. I swear I'll give you both a comfortable life."
"Hypno…!"
"Linia."
"Lani."
Glenn and Jake each laid a hand on the women's shoulders.
"Just for a little while… let's accept Hypno's resolve."
"Honey…"
"If the woman I loved said something like that, I wouldn't have been able to hold back either."
"Jake…"
Glenn looked at Hypno and asked, "Hypno, leaving's fine. But how long do you figure it'll take?"
"Well…"
Hypno thought it over carefully. This other world looked roughly medieval—transportation seemed inconvenient. He had Status Window stats, so he could grow strong and fast. And as a last resort, he had hypnosis. After running every calculation he could, he spoke.
"At the longest… about two years. I'll come back with a fortune before then."
"Two whole years…"
"That's way too long… sob… I'll die of loneliness…"
Tears welled in Linia and Lani's eyes at the number.
"Linia… Lani…"
They were crying over parting with him—proof of how deeply they loved him. Gratitude and regret tangled inside Hypno. His feelings for the two of them swelled larger and deeper. That only made him vow harder: for them, and for the children already in their wombs, he would work himself to the bone.
But before he left, he decided to take measures for their sake.
Hypnosis Wave!
He released a medium-strength wave and spoke.
"Linia, Lani—both of you can wait long enough."
"We can wait…"
"…long enough…"
"But even if you can wait, the longing and loneliness won't just disappear. You'll remember the sex we had, too. So I'll give you a new way to cope."
He offered them a method to soothe the emptiness while he was gone.
"From now on, whenever you give Glenn or Jake a handjob while you masturbate, you'll be able to vividly recall every time you had sex with me. Not just the memory—you'll feel the same pleasure and the same satisfaction you felt then."
"Satisfaction…"
"Recall…"
"Yeah. That way you can ease some of the loneliness for me. Glenn, Jake—whenever they say they want to give you a handjob, accept it. That's only natural."
"That's…"
"…natural…"
"Oh, and when you two receive those handjobs, it'll feel insanely good. You'll vividly re-experience the pleasure of watching Linia or Lani get taken by me right in front of you."
"Again…"
"Vividly…"
"Yes! Vividly. But absolutely nothing beyond a handjob—neither receiving nor giving. Because both of them are my women."
"They're…"
"Hypno's women…"
Once the hypnosis settled over all four, Hypno withdrew the wave.
"Well then, I'll be going."
He stood and started for the door. Glenn caught his shoulder.
"Hold on a second, Hypno."
"Hm?"
For a split second Hypno tensed.
Did the hypnosis not take?
A flicker of unease.
"Even if you're leaving, you can't go empty-handed. Let me get you a few days' living money… plus food and clothes at least."
"Ah…"
Glenn hadn't stopped him to keep him from leaving—he'd stopped him to outfit him for the road.
"Thank… you, Glenn."
Hypno shed a quiet tear of gratitude inside at the man's kindness.
With a backpack holding several days of food, a coin pouch, and spare clothes, Hypno faced the four of them.
"I'm off."
"Hic… sniff… Hypno…"
"Lani… let's see him off properly."
"Yeah… sniff. Hypno, you absolutely… have to come back, okay?"
"Of course. Glenn, Jake—look after them while I'm gone."
"Got it. Leave it to us."
"Until you return, Hypno… I'll take their handjobs so they won't feel lonely."
"Please do."
Hypno bowed deeply and started walking toward the village.
"…Hypno!"
Linia and Lani called after him.
"We'll wait! We'll keep waiting until you come back!"
"So… please come back. For the children… in our bellies, too."
Trembling, Hypno turned and looked at the two women he loved.
"I will! I'll come back for sure! And when I do, we'll all live happily together, snuggled up tight!"
"Yes!"
Eyes wet, Hypno spun around again and ran toward the village. If he looked back once more, the resolve he'd so carefully hardened might crack. He poured strength into his legs and put distance between himself and the warm house as fast as he could.
At the Adventurer's Guild, Hypno used hypnosis to cut straight to the front of the line and spoke to Tris.
"I'd like to register as an adventurer."
"Adventurer registration? Someone as valuable as you, Hypno?"
"It'll be convenient in all sorts of ways. I hear it doubles as an ID, too."
"That's… true. Um, Hypno? Are you all right?"
"Hm?"
"Your complexion… doesn't look good."
"Ah, I'm fine. Just finished steeling my resolve, that's all."
"…? All right then. I'll process the registration. Even for you, Hypno, first-time registrants start at F-Rank."
"Understood."
The F-Rank adventurer license was ready in no time. The process was simple: Tris brought out a magical device for creating licenses, Hypno gave it a single drop of blood, and the card popped out immediately.
"Congratulations. You are now a proper F-Rank adventurer, Hypno. Rank-ups come from completing requests and building achievements. Oh, and if you ever lose the license, you can get a replacement right away for just one large silver coin."
Hypno flipped the card over, examining both sides.
Just my name and rank. No fancy decorations… and a reissue costs only one large silver?
"That price doesn't change with rank, right?"
"Correct. F-Rank or S-Rank, same fee. And this license is a fully valid form of identification. Would you try saying 'Rank On' for me?"
"Rank On."
Woooom!
Light flared from the card, and a hologram-like display of his current rank and name floated into the air.
"It only activates when the registered owner speaks the phrase. The same function is built into mage-guild IDs and other identification papers."
"The same?"
"Yes—each version displays the appropriate rank or status for its system. And reissues still cost only one large silver. All thanks to the great sage Baldy, who developed this magical device in ancient times."
"Great sage Baldy…"
Somehow that name sounds ridiculously radiant.
"Anything else I should know?"
"The basics were covered when you first visited… in the reception room. If you'd like further explanation…"
"No, that's enough."
"Very well. Then, Hypno…"
The efficient career-woman demeanor melted. Tris's cheeks flushed faintly, and she fixed him with a sticky, hungry gaze.
"Is there… any other 'business' you need taken care of?"
The lewd look of a female craving a male's cock. Hypno's shaft stirred in answer.
Parting with Linia and Lani left me depressed… heading out on an adventure in this mood would be a terrible start. So… using Tris for a little mood reset wouldn't be so bad!
His cock stiffened hard. Hypno stroked his chin.
"Now that you mention it, I do have some business with you, Tris. Could you show me to the reception room?"
"Yes, Hypno♡"
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
"You need to twist your hips more while you rock, Tris."
"Hiiighnn♡♡ Yeshee♡ Hypno♡♡ Ohh♡ nngh♡♡ so good♡♡ this cock that wakes up the joy of being a female inside my pussy♡♡ ooh♡ nnnngh♡♡♡"
"Nn!"
Spurtspurtspurtspurt!
"Hiiiiighnnnn♡♡♡"
After twenty solid minutes of cowgirl "business," Hypno flooded Tris's womb with thick, heavy seed.
Haa… nothing beats a good stress-relief fuck when you're feeling down.
Tris collapsed bonelessly onto his chest. Hypno kneaded her ass while he spoke.
"Business is finished, so get up, Tris."
"S-sorry, Hypno… j-just a little longer♡ like this… is that okay…?♡♡ My body… won't take any strength…♡"
"Can't be helped, then."
Thrust!
He gripped her hips and started bouncing her up and down himself.
"Ooooh♡♡"
"I'll just enjoy myself while you rest."
"Nnnngh♡♡ th-that'll only make me weaker…"
Thrust! Thrust! Thrust!
"Ooh♡ ghhhnn♡♡♡ my pussy…♡♡ is melting awaaaaay♡♡♡ I'm turning into a cock-obsessed idiot…!♡♡♡"
By the time Hypno's gloomy mood had completely evaporated and he finally finished his business, another thirty minutes had passed.
