Chapter Title: D-rank Adventurer Kim Katt
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Claudy, I'm home."
―Creak.
The sight that greeted me when I opened the door to my lodging was utterly shocking.
"..."
"..."
A long-eared woman with brown skin and purple hair, dressed in something straight out of a lewd swimsuit photoshoot, was striking a sexy pose. My brain froze for a moment as I stared wide-eyed at the unbelievable scene.
She had a confident expression, though her face was flushed red. Her name was Claudy.
"...Heh, hehe."
Suddenly, Claudy let out a seductive laugh. It seemed she'd been holding the pose just to show me... Sis, just how old are you? And why the hell did you tie your hair into twin tails...?
"H-How's it look? D-Do you... like it?"
"..."
Her confident facade melted into embarrassment midway through. She twisted her lips and barely managed to ask for my opinion. I stayed silent. The lack of response only made her more flustered, her face growing redder by the second.
It was an outfit so slutty I wondered if it even qualified as clothing.
Flutters of fabric barely covering her nipples and pussy, strings tied around her arms and legs like jewelry. And red high heels to top it off. It had zero function as actual clothes.
In her chest-thrusting pose, her firm curves were on full display, and her long legs screamed model-level beauty. The teasing glimpses of skin beneath were perfection.
Overall, it was a look I wanted to photograph and preserve forever.
I kept my mouth shut, slowly etching the sight into my brain.
"K-Katt...? S-Say something... If you don't... I mean... Ahh..."
Was this the reaction she was hoping for?
She's hopeless.
"Uh, y-yeah...? Hey, Katt?"
Words weren't necessary. I strode toward her, stripping off my clothes as I went. My pants were a nightmare to remove thanks to my cock, swollen to the bursting point.
"Kyaa!"
I shoved Claudy onto the bed and roughly yanked off her panties. Ignoring her protests, I slammed my rock-hard dick inside her and pounded away with all my strength.
"Haa... So, that's when you met that mage?"
After two hours of full-throttle thrusting that completely wrecked Claudy, I collapsed on the bed from exhaustion. As I caught my breath, I lay beside her and recounted the day's events without holding back.
Claudy, who had quietly held my hand while listening, recovered her stamina quickly and summed it up.
"Yeah... She said she was looking for you. That she'd been searching nonstop."
"Hmm, you two spent the night together back then, right?"
"You made me do it."
"S-Sorry about that."
Claudy crossed her arms and pouted.
"Anyway... You're asking for my opinion?"
"Gotta report it since I'm getting involved with another woman."
"Thanks... But, Katt."
She turned toward me and pressed her body against mine. Even after dumping load after load inside her, the feel of our skin touching was enough to stir me up again.
"Of course, you're the only one for me. My heart belongs to you alone... I can't live without you anymore. But even if I love you that much, like I said, I can't give you kids?"
"Shut your damn mouth..."
"Even if you take the mage because of that? It's only natural to want heirs, right? I think it's fine. It's like she's doing what I can't."
She must've had a shitty sex ed.
My head throbbed.
"No, Claudy. Think about it the other way. I'd foam at the mouth and stab any guy who even held your hand."
"Katt... I would never. I told you, only you. No need to worry about that. Other men are just pigs to me."
"...That's a bit harsh."
"It's true... Right? Winia, was it? That little mage probably feels the same about you..."
"Shut up."
Claudy, who'd started stroking my dick midway, climbed on top of me.
"Again?"
"Yeah. You still haven't given me your review from earlier."
"...Straight up, it was hot enough to pounce on you."
"Hehe, that's what I wanted to hear. Say stuff like that properly."
"You slutty sis!"
"Don't call me sis! J-Just because I let it slide once last time doesn't mean...!"
Guess it doesn't work after all.
She always recoils at "sis."
"Fine. Come closer."
"Okay... Mmm."
Claudy leaned in for a kiss. Our breaths mingled, and I wanted to sheath myself in her right then.
"Katt... It's just a difference in thinking... Got it?"
"...Fuck if I know, you bitch."
"Hehe, stay still."
She caressed my face, then engulfed my cock with her mouth.
"Haa... Haa... Nnngh...!"
She told me to stay still, so I did. This time, Claudy rocked her hips. I closed my eyes and thought about tomorrow. What a pain in the ass.
Why the fuck did I have to come to this world and deal with girl problems?
The path of the true badass was long and arduous.
I arrived at the guild in the morning, only to find another surprise waiting.
A barbarian girl I'd seen once before was standing there.
She was a cute girl with striking black short hair. That's right—the pickpocket from before. Up to that point, I figured this brat had reformed and chosen the adventurer's path to make an honest living. Pretty admirable.
But then—
"N-No way... B-Brother's the one... f-for the hobgoblin qu-quest...?"
"So you're the F-rank porter who was coming?"
She nodded.
Eh, no big thoughts on it.
Just shock. The grudge between me and this back-alley pickpocket had been settled with a whopping 5 silver in compensation.
Stealing my 5 silver deserved having her guts yanked out for jump rope while singing, but since she paid me back double at 10 silver, she was basically my lifesaver.
Come to think of it, I was in such a good mood on the way back that I even gave her some rare kind words. Seeing her as an adventurer now, it felt like I'd successfully reformed a criminal.
For the first time since arriving in this world, I felt that satisfaction from doing a good deed. People really should live righteously.
Even the Buddha in my mind praised me, saying I'd go to real heaven this time—no bullshit. Wait, Buddhism has paradise, not heaven. Whatever, both good.
"Heh, heh heh..."
A smile crept onto my face.
Me, turning one human into a proper-ish society member.
Maybe I had a talent for teaching?
Surprisingly, my childhood dream was to be a teacher. Lately it's more like a murderous one, but back when I played baseball, I dreamed of being a regular teacher who was good at it.
Seeing that dream fulfilled in this form felt great, like checking off a bucket list item.
"So, my little sis became an adventurer?"
"...Yeah. I couldn't stay in the slums anymore... So I came out here."
"Good call. People gotta earn their keep honestly. Labor's sacred. Fuckers living off crime should all be executed. Those kind words I gave you back then helped, right? Admit it—they helped a ton."
"Y-Yeah..."
I decided not to ask about her grandma.
F-rank adventurer's a job where making money's tough. Barely scraping by day-to-day. I knew that better than anyone.
No need to point out it's worse pay than pickpocketing. She couldn't support her grandma, let alone buy meds. Probably ended with ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Drug prices are locked down by the Alchemist's Guild. They monopolize and charge absurd rates. My own Madecassol cost 2 fucking silver. Bastards fleecing commoners for meds.
"Katt, who's the kid? Same hair color."
"My little sis."
"Hehe, popped up outta nowhere?"
"Joking. She's the fucking thief who stole my money last time. Told you, right? Killed 'em all and got double back. This is the star of that story."
"Oh, that."
Calling her a "fucking thief" made the girl tremble.
I said it like that, but it was water under the bridge. No grudge or plans to torment her. I'm not one of those adventurers I despised. No hobby of bullying F-ranks.
The girl who stole was a "fucking thief," but the one who paid double back was like a lucky bluebird.
I wanted to teach the trembling girl some adventurer etiquette.
She felt like a little sis in many ways; I wanted to look out for her.
"Don't look scared, stand tall. Adventuring's over if you look weak. Got it?"
"A-Ah... Yes..."
"That just makes you more of a mark. F-ranks get sucked dry the second they look easy. You left the slums—just to get fleeced here?"
"N-No, not that..."
"Then answer properly. We're in a business deal here. I'm a senior, sure."
"Got it, bro."
She answered straight without mumbling.
"Sucking up my words like a sponge!"
Nothing beats flexible thinking and adapting for survival. Like how she took my advice and became an adventurer, she'd carry this lesson too.
Wait, what's her name again?
"Right. What's your name? Think I heard it, but forgot. Hey."
"Lina."
"Ah, right, Lina. But I remember your speech being kinda flirty last time. Suddenly all polite?"
"That's just..."
"Whatever's comfy for you. But can you handle porter work? Business question—if you can't pull your weight, I'll kick you out. Hired you for labor, not to donate to some jobless F-rank."
"I'm confident in my stamina. Don't worry... I can do the job right. Got experience from doing it several times already..."
"Good. Just don't disappoint me midway."
Come to think of it, this was the girl who outran me halfway in a chase. Stamina-wise, better than that crazy trio from days ago. Anyway, finally—
"Darky, I'm here."
"Speak of the tiger."
Winia opened the door, spotted me, and paused mid-step.
"Hi? We met, right? I'm Claudy."
"...Winia."
The two faced off. Don't fight, please.
If they did, Winia'd get diced in under three seconds flat. I called Winia over and headed to the counter. Party formation confirmation. The hobgoblin subjugation quest was just me, Claudy, Winia, and porter Lina—four total.
"Hmm, D-rank quest with C, D, E, and F-rank adventurers all mixed in?"
"Wasn't planned, just happened."
"With a mage, it shouldn't be too tough. Kinda weird a mage like her took it, though."
A mage of Winia's caliber had no need for this. Finished the formalities and headed out.
"Bit of a trek to the abandoned mine village. Gotta take a carriage. Walking'd suck. We'd drop dead."
Round-trip carriage about 60 copper. Minus porter Lina's fee, 20 copper each. Claudy didn't care, Winia nodded. We headed for the carriage.
