Chapter Title: Wives' Conference
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I finally made it safely to Isvant, crammed in with the merchant caravan.
"Fuckin' hell, we finally got here, you bastards."
We'd been kidnapped by harpies and gotten lost in the woods on top of that, but in the end, my cool-headed rationality led to the most logical decision, allowing us to return alive.
Thinking solely about survival had gotten me through this ordeal once again. Humans really do need to keep their composure even in extreme situations.
Come to think of it, that's how I've always survived.
Shining reason.
And cold, hard judgment.
Kidnapping Sessirite and bungee-jumping off the cliff in that pivotal moment was half a gamble, but at the time, it was the only way to stay alive, so I executed it without hesitation.
I'm no suicidal maniac.
You've got to bet on the option with the highest survival odds. My goal was to make it back home and embrace my wives. There was no choice but to use the situation to slip away quickly.
Any other bullshit move probably would've gotten me killed.
Harpies are a cruel race, after all.
We'd been kidnapped. If I didn't escape, I'd be totally at their mercy in an utterly disadvantageous spot—no way in hell was I trusting those monster birds. My judgment was spot on.
No guarantee that harpies who kidnap and eat people would keep their promises.
Just imagine fucking Sessirite and them changing their tune the second it's over, flying off and leaving me behind. I'd starve to death.
Any means of escape would be completely gone. That's why I dragged things out with some deadly caressing to lower their guard. Until the fuck, I still had some use value around my neck, so I was half-safe.
That's how I survived.
Well, I escaped in the end.
If I'd slipped up, I'd be dead, but the coldly rational Heavenly Demon Kim Katt doesn't die.
"Ugh."
The air in Isvant felt incredibly refreshing after so long.
So this is what survival tastes like?
I parted ways with the merchants and headed straight home. Claudy, Winia. They must be worried sick. Or maybe they were out looking for me?
It'd been about a week.
I was supposed to wrap up the wolf hunt in three days max, but it dragged on... Shit. If Karin and Risha didn't know I was missing, showing up after over a week would probably piss them off again.
>—Rustle rustle.
I pulled out the fairy's necklace. It no longer glowed or anything. Still, it looked valuable enough to make my ordeal worthwhile.
Those fairy bitches.
Not fighting those unknown fuckers was a brilliant choice. With my nose already in deep shit, picking a deathmatch with mage bastards wouldn't do me any good.
Fighting unknown entities would've meant one of us dies for sure, so it was a relief they asked to negotiate first.
That's what dialogue is all about, in the end.
And I even found the way out.
Nothing beats cold judgment and decisive action. You can't survive on sword skills alone in this world. A smart, calculating next-gen serial killer talent is the perfect type of hero to make it big in another world.
>—Thump thump.
Pushing those thoughts aside, I calmed my pounding heart. I'd arrived at the lodging before I knew it. I'd definitely get an earful.
Still, I wanted to see their faces ASAP.
>—Creak.
"...Katt's back~."
As I eased the door open to announce my return, Winia and Claudy—who were getting dressed—both turned to look at me.
>—Poof! In that instant, Claudy's figure blurred,
"Katt!!!! I told you! Katt would definitely come back!"
"Cl-Claudy!!!"
She flew at me like a wild beast, wrapping me in a crushing hug. The force was so intense I thought my ribs would snap right through my chestplate, but Winia's terrifying glare kept me from complaining about the pain.
"...Darkie? You're back?"
"...Yeah."
"How many days were you gone?"
"Uh, well... a week..."
"A week?"
Her tone seemed calm, but that sharp gaze was utterly frightening. Claudy ignored it all, nuzzling her face against my neck.
"Ahh, Katt! Katt! They said you got kidnapped by harpies—what happened?! Mama believed in you the whole time!"
"Claudy...! Yeah, I'm back! Your Kim Katt is back!"
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
I hugged Claudy's wildly affectionate body tight. Winia slowly walked toward me too. Overwhelming longing and joy surged, but so did fear.
"W-Winia! I'm sorry!"
I was already shaking.
"Darkie did wrong?"
"I got kidnapped by harpies! It wasn't on purpose!"
"Kidnapped by harpies?"
Winia's tone was perfectly flat.
"Well... you see..."
"Sis. Let him go for now."
"Mmm... Katt, sorry? Winia looks really mad."
>—Smack.
After one last deep kiss on my neck, Claudy slipped out of my arms and sat in a chair. Winia looked up at my face and commanded,
"Darkie, sit too."
"Yes."
I sat in a chair as well. Across from me, Claudy grinned ear to ear at my face, but Winia, sitting beside her, was expressionless.
"Our little darkie, you said you were going wolf hunting, right?"
"...Yeah. That's what I said."
"So what's with the harpies?"
"Katt, I'm curious about that too."
"Darkie, explain first. I'll yell after I hear it all."
Winia narrowed her eyes and took off her outer clothes as she spoke. Must've been getting ready to head out since it was morning. No need now, so off they came?
"I'll explain everything."
I calmly recounted the events.
The wolf hunt went smoothly at first. But then harpies appeared out of nowhere and plunged our party into utter ruin. Everyone panicked, and we got kidnapped just like that.
"Hoo... haa... haa..."
>—Tremble tremble.
Winia shuddered and took deep breaths up to that point. Claudy had already dragged her chair over to my side.
"W-Winia?"
"Haa... Keep going, darkie."
Winia's anger seemed at the breaking point, so I decided to summarize the rest briefly.
We got taken to the harpy nest. In that prison-like spot on the cliffside, I fought a few harpies, seized a moment when they let their guard down, grabbed one, and jumped off the cliff to escape—
"—You're insane! Darkie!!!!"
"Y-Yes!"
"Are you in your right mind!!! What? Jumped off a cliff? Aaaah!!!! You crazy darkie bastard!"
Winia screamed, shot to her feet, lunged at me, grabbed my neck, and shook me violently.
"Gaaahk!!"
"You're crazy, crazy, really!!! Our little darkie bastard needs to fix this reckless habit! What if you died jumping off a cliff, you fucking lunatic!!!!!!"
"Winiaaaah!!! That was the only way at the time!!!"
"I don't care, don't care!!! You fucking darkie bitch! You wanna do dangerous shit?! Huh?! Are you nuts?! Seriously, you're not right in the head! I'm gonna lose my mind!!!"
It hurt, but seeing tears welling in Winia's eyes hurt more. She stopped throttling me and hugged me tight, yelling.
"You said you'd give me a kid, but you keep picking ways to die!!! You trying to make me a widow?! Let go, sis!! Darkie needs to get beaten half to death!!!"
"Winia, I'm sooo sorry!!!"
"Waaahhh!!!"
Winia finally burst into tears. Fuck these harpies! Those goddamn bird shits! How dare they make my Winia cry...!
I won't forgive those bastards!
"You fucking bastard! I told you to go and come back safe, and this is what happens!!"
"Aigoo! Winia, sorry! So fucking sorry! I'm fine, I'm fine! I'm back! I swore I'd come back no matter what!"
"Come back my ass, you bastard...!"
I could only hold the tearful Winia and soothe her. Her back-patting session came with a torrent of curses.
Realizing how worried she'd been made my heart ache.
"I can't live without you now—why do you keep pulling this shit? Huh? Seriously, I think I need to put a leash on you. Yeah? Don't you think? I can't stand even a moment apart; it's too fucking anxious."
After a while, Winia calmed a bit and grumbled accusingly.
"Sorry..."
"Whatever... You fucking stink right now, darkie! Go wash up quick!"
"Yes!"
Winia suddenly shoved me away with a yell and stripped off her clothes, heading to the bath. Come to think of it, I hadn't bathed in days.
"Katt."
As I turned on the water to wash, Claudy came in, wrapped in a towel. Our eyes met, and she smiled, coming up behind me.
She was gonna help me wash.
"Katt... You didn't come back for days, so I went to the guild thinking something happened. They said you got kidnapped by harpies. Missing status, I guess?"
Claudy's tone was calm.
So the guild had been informed.
"Of course, I believed you'd come back no matter what... You're that kind of man, Katt. Still, I was really worried. Kept telling myself you'd be fine, but I was so anxious. If I lost you like this..."
"I won't die leaving you behind, so don't worry. Our Claudy was that anxious?"
"Yeah..."
She seemed okay, but I caught her voice trembling more. Must've been really worried. When I asked, she hugged me from behind.
"Really, leaving Mama like that... Do you know how worried Mama was?"
"Sorry. And I love you. I made it back alive after killing all sorts of shit. Honestly, it was tough. I endured thinking of you."
"Heehee, what about your other wives?"
"Of course I thought of them. Can't die without knocking one up."
"Right. Hoo, now I can relax. You did great. That experience will be huge for you, Katt."
This is why I can't give up on life.
Anyway, Claudy began washing my body tenderly. Her skin was soft, her body heat wonderfully warm.
"Katt."
"Hm?"
"I really missed you."
"...Me too."
"And this too."
With that, Claudy stroked my erection. Relieved to be home, the pent-up lust from the past week was raging.
"Claudy..."
"Hauup."
Before I knew it, Claudy knelt in front of me and naturally took me in her mouth, sucking devotedly.
>—Creak.
"Ah, fuck, darkie. I told you to wash up quick, and you're getting your dick sucked by sis already."
As I stroked Claudy's hair while she worked, Winia came in.
"Haa. Makes me feel better. I couldn't sleep worrying about you, darkie. And the second you get back... Huh? Darkie? Huh? Sis sucking your dick feels so good you're dying, right?"
Honestly, it felt fucking amazing right now. Claudy kept going without a care. The loving sensation was overflowing. Climax was building fast.
"Winia."
"Yeah?"
"Come here quick. I fucked up."
"...You know you did. But you always just say it."
Winia grumbled as she approached.
"Thanks, our Winia. For worrying."
"Seriously... If you don't wanna see me widowed, live carefully. Just seeing your face makes my stomach churn... Mmph."
I immediately sealed Winia's mouth with mine.
Winia hugged me, kissing passionately. Her breasts rubbed against me. As I neared climax and twitched, Claudy caught the signal, stopped sucking, and stroked me off.
"Kuht...!"
I came on Claudy's breasts while kissing Winia.
"Huuht... Katt... So much came out... Held it in all week?"
"It was torture."
"Hehe, Mama and Winia suffered too. Winia, let's wash him quick and head to bed."
"Yeah..."
My body and mind felt like they were melting.
After Claudy and Winia helped wash me, I came out. Exhausted and sleepy, but my lust boiled over just as much.
In the end, I'd returned to my wives' embrace.
