-Splash!
But the important thing was that the blood had sprayed right onto my face.
"You fucking bastard, are you a hydra or something?!"
"Guh... Kahk...!"
Fueled by transcendent rage, I swung my sword and cleaved halfway through the bastard's neck. Thud. The guy, murdered in an instant, collapsed while staring at me with hollow eyes.
In my mind, these fuckers were all already serial killers and cannibals. And now a hydra on top of that? No need to hold back, no need to talk.
I thrust my blade straight forward without the slightest hesitation.
That was Kim Katt's way.
"Deputy chief? What's up?"
At that moment, other bandit scum with dumb looks on their faces started crawling into the cave one by one. Rumble! Thunder crashed simultaneously. Torrential rain poured down like the sky had a hole ripped in it...!
Were these assholes coming in as a group to escape the rain?
"-Huh."
The second guy face-planted into the ground. Elise had smashed her mace right into the back of his head. The next one who came in tried to shout in shock.
"-Guhk."
But a red line was already etched across his throat.
Claudia's curved sword had flashed for a split second and sliced clean through his neck. He clutched at it, blinking like he couldn't believe the reality of the world.
Spurt!
Separation.
Blood gushed out.
He'd crossed the river of no return, becoming a departed guest.
"What? Deputy chief? What's inside?"
Amid the roar of the downpour, that voice rang out. Seemed like the bandits had set up camp outside the cave. Deputy chief? Was one of the dead assholes their deputy chief?
Lucky us.
From the way he talked, they hadn't noticed us yet.
"Saint, it looks like they're taking shelter from the rain here."
"Yeah, I can see that. These bandit scum hiding from the rain? Fucking hell, haven't they learned their lesson? Aren't they too selfish?"
"Well said. They don't even deserve to seek shelter from the rain...!"
"Aaaah! We have to kill them!"
"Urgh! Punishment!"
As I chatted briefly with Elise, a guy aiming his sword came creeping in cautiously. Not sure if he'd grown suspicious already, but I crouched low, waited, then leaped like a frog and stabbed him straight in the gut.
Stab.
"Wh-what?!"
That's why ambushing from hiding is the best.
See? Four dead already, just from walking in clueless. The gut-stabbed bastard writhed in agony and crumpled.
I cut off his airway before he could scream.
"What? What's going on?"
"Monsters left?"
"Don't go in."
The bandits rushed in all at once.
They looked like drowned rats.
"Wh-what?"
"Fucking hell!"
They gawked at our blood-soaked figures and their fallen comrades, eyes bulging.
What, you need words for this?
When you see enemies, stab first, talk later.
"Claudia."
"Yeah."
Fwosh!
"Gah, graaaah! What the hell are these guys?!"
"Kill 'em, you fucks!"
The panicked bastards drew their weapons, spewing curses.
"You cock-sucking shits."
Claudia's sword flashed briefly, and Elise's mace dropped like lightning. "Aaaargh!" "Gack!" It didn't take long for the cave to turn into a human slaughterhouse. They didn't have anyone who could stand up to Claudia or Elise in the first place.
Their deputy chief was already dead.
Sticky blood pooled across the cave floor.
We wiped them all out before anyone could even blink.
"Huge haul."
"Hmm... But there are more without tattoos on their faces?"
"Huh."
Once we sorted the bodies, only four had tattoos. The rest didn't. Just ones without ink? Not all bandits had tattoos, after all.
Maybe civilians? But no—their gear and how chummy they were with the bandits said otherwise. Anyway, we looted everything and shoved the bodies deeper into the cave.
Monsters would sniff out the blood and clean up after we left.
Felt like a serial killer's hideout now.
"Rain won't stop. Being stuck with corpses sucks."
Winia, who had lit a fire, grimaced in disgust. I didn't want to hang with the bodies either. But the rain was only getting heavier.
Looked like it wouldn't let up anytime soon.
Worst case, we'd spend the night with the corpses and move tomorrow.
I took off my gauntlets and washed my face with rainwater. Cannibal blood on my face? Utterly revolting. As I did, Claudia snuck up from behind and hugged me.
"...Haa. Katt. My body's so hot."
"What? Why suddenly."
"Who knows? The blood?"
Seemed like violence had her excited. Hell, maybe my recent killing sprees were fueled by the same urge to vent sexual frustration.
Classic brutal nympho Claudia...
"Yeah? We haven't done it in days. In this state, it's hard to hold back... Wanna sneak to the back for a quickie?"
"Hey... Claudia. I'm struggling too, but... not here. No way."
"You'll do it when we get back?"
"Of course, once we're back in Isvant..."
"Not there."
"..."
"If you say no, I'll jump you right now?"
Claudia's golden eyes gleamed, her pupils narrowing vertically like a leopard spotting prey. Overwhelmed by that feral gaze, I could only nod.
"Hehe, I'll hold you to it♡"
"..."
Subdued by the predator, my legs gave out, and I slumped down. Winia, drying her wet clothes by the fire with her chest close to the flames, saw it and sighed.
"Jeez, sis. You wanna do it here? Consider the mood a bit. And like the darky says, there's a nun around—quit it."
"But."
"But what."
Grinning playfully, Claudia pounced on Winia. Winia looked annoyed but didn't push her away.
"Ah, sis. No hands. Still damp and sticky."
"So I can touch once it's dry?"
"No. That was a slip. It's darky's tits, off-limits."
"Hmm, then you'll touch me?"
"Touching yours is no fun. Ah, no kissing my cheek. Such a pest."
...They'd become sisters who just rubbed up on each other now. I wouldn't even be surprised if they scissored someday.
Shaaa.
I glanced outside.
Still pouring.
"...S-Saint."
Elise approached then.
"Ah, Elise. Just now, that was..."
Her face was mortifying to look at.
Claudia's raging libido had made us show such an unseemly sight. Talking like that in front of a minor... That damn seductress...!
I had no clue how to apologize.
"I don't know what to say but... that is..."
Her face flushed, probably from embarrassment.
Mine burned too.
Ah, so humiliating.
You bitch, Claudia.
"It's good that you and Claudia get along... A blessing, really, but... how to explain..."
"Sorry... Elise... You saw something you shouldn't have..."
Just mortified...
"Seeing you and Claudia... Something indescribable... wells up."
Elise stammered it out with effort.
"Ah, that's called 'chicken skin.' Makes you super embarrassed."
"Embarrassment?"
"Yeah. Anyway, sorry, Elise. I know we should hold back, but Claudia's... you know..."
"...It's fine."
"...Too embarrassing."
Back home, Claudia gets 24-hour non-stop re-education.
Daring to embarrass Elise like this...!
"Darky, come rub my shoulders. My chest is making my shoulders so stiff lately."
Winia called me over.
Claudia was already lying belly-down on Winia's thighs.
"Feels like they got bigger from all your groping."
"Wh-what?! They can't get any bigger!"
"A subtle bit. No more touching for you, darky."
"No way!"
"Hehe."
Anyway, I massaged Winia's shoulders. She purred contentedly as I worked them slowly. If not for the corpse pile back there, the vibe would've been perfect.
Scary that I was the only one bothered by it.
Claudia was a brutal warrior from the start. Elise saw heretics only as targets for extermination. Winia, born and bred in this world, treated bandits and thieves like animals.
So the bodies didn't faze them. To them, it was like pigeon corpses by my standards.
Probably the only one taking human corpses seriously here was me... As I thought that, "Kyaa... Your hands feel so good, darky," Winia giggled.
Eh, she's cute, so whatever.
The downpour continued.
Outside and inside, total darkness now.
Getting sleepy—must be night.
Or just heavy clouds. And the fire made it too cozy.
Who knows.
Anyway, heading back today was off the table. We'd overnight here. Time to set watches.
"I'm fine anytime."
Claudia and Winia were already dozing, so Elise volunteered first. Order: Elise, Claudia, me, Winia.
"Got it. Good luck. Gonna catch some shut-eye."
"Sleep well."
I spread my cloak on the ground, lay down, closed my eyes briefly—then someone shook me.
"Katt, Katt."
"Huh? Claudia? Already? That fast?"
She'd crashed and woken up in a flash.
The fire was out. Not much kindling anyway. I opened my eyes, but pitch black everywhere—nothing visible.
"Yeah. Your turn."
"Ugh... Fine. Night, Claudia. Ow, neck's stiff."
I tried to stand and stretch, but Claudia grabbed my hand and pulled.
"Claudia?"
"Come with me a sec."
"Huh, where to?"
"Where d'you think?"
Couldn't see shit, so I followed her lead. Heading deeper in... Whoa, fuck—tripped on a body. Past the corpse dump, even further.
How far in?
Claudia stopped.
"Katt♡"
She called my name, dripping with seduction.
"Wh-what? That cutesy tone?"
"Let's do it♡"
...Knew it.
"No, I'm on watch... Gotta stay alert."
"It's fine. I'll listen for everything... My senses are so sharp right now. Body's super sensitive—maybe why?"
"No, we said when we get back."
"Boo♡"
Melty voice.
...My dick stirred.
"Can't hold back anymore."
Faint glow from mineral dust on the ceiling lit Claudia dimly. Swish. She peeled off her tight black leather pants, showing off her legs, then slowly slid down her panties. Hands on the wall, ass out.
"Katt♡ Come on♡"
Wiggle wiggle.
She shook her hips temptingly.
Wide hips, plump, bouncy ass. Juices trickling between... That ass swaying, dripping nectar—I couldn't resist.
Glanced around, then dropped my pants.
...She said she'd listen, so fine.
"Hehehe, been waiting forever. Put it in."
"...Claudia. No noises, okay?"
"Mm. I'll hold it."
In the dim light, I rubbed my tip against her entrance. "Hyat...!" She clamped her mouth shut, but a sound leaked.
"...Going in."
"Haa... Hurry."
I eased my cock in slowly.
She was soaked—plunged straight to her womb. "Kuhk..!" Couldn't hold back my groan. Her starving pussy clenched me fiercely.
That hot grip made my hips buck.
I grabbed her hips like handles, rocking back and forth slowly.
"Hauk...!"
"Claudia. Noise. It's leaking...!"
"Heut...! Hngh! Hyaaa...!"
Moans burst out, but damn good restraint for her. Trying so hard not to make noise was adorable—I lost it.
I'd been pent up for days too.
I ravaged her insides as quietly as possible.
Slap, slap.
Squelch, squelch.
Lewd sounds echoed softly deep in the cave.
...Rain'll cover it?
Please, no one hear...
