-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thinking about Vuigal brought Hildegaard, my demon friend, to mind as well. When you got right down to it, both Vuigal and Hilde were the same to me—comrades, plain and simple.
Originally wicked demons, but in the end, they became my friends.
And that was all thanks to Fusion Confucianism.
No matter how irredeemable the villains might seem, once they passed through my hands, they somehow transformed into beneficial beings.
I really had a knack for teaching.
Not the murderous kind of teaching, but genuine teacher material.
"Ugh."
Anyway, after sleeping through the night, both my stamina and mana had mostly recovered. But damn, lying in bed had left me with one hell of a hard-on, so the sleep quality wasn't great.
The pent-up lust from the past few days was tormenting me in all sorts of ways.
At this point, jerking off alone wouldn't cut it. The moment I touched it, I'd probably end up stroking all day without even leaving the inn.
I have to hold out...!
"Gah!!!!"
Me, the Death Worm Slayer, brought low by mere sexual frustration?! No way in hell!
Now that I was up, I'd wash off with some cold water and head back.
With everything ready, I stepped out of the inn. I was going to take a carriage, but since my body felt fine, I decided to run instead. It'd be faster that way. All I wanted was to get home ASAP and beg my wives for a hug...!
"Katt-nim! I'm here!"
Hildegaard appeared just as I was sprinting out of the village onto the main road.
"What? I didn't even call you."
"I saw you'd wrapped things up, so I figured. Did you think about me at all while you were at it?"
I had been thinking about Vuigal yesterday, which led to some thoughts of her.
"A little."
"Kyaa, that makes me so happy."
Hildegaard rubbed her cheeks with both hands, beaming. Since she was already here, I couldn't just shoo her away, so we chatted as I explained what had happened.
"A Death Worm... I don't know exactly what it does, but that's so like you, Katt-nim. That Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon thing? Incredible. Anyway, what an amazing story! You're so cool, Katt-nim! The best! The absolute best warrior in the world!"
"Heh heh heh, you know it?"
Flap flap.
Her bat-like wings fluttered. In her succubus form, Hilde hovered slightly in the air, circling me while showering me with praise.
"Still, I feel bad for not being able to help this time. I want to be useful to you somehow... but honestly, taking down a monster like that is beyond me. Even if you'd called, I probably couldn't have done much."
After gushing for a while, she tapped her lips with a finger and spoke with a hint of regret.
She wanted to help me somehow—her intentions were sweet, at least.
Setting aside her true motives, that is.
"Thanks for the thought, you little devil."
"Ufufu! Really? Hearing you say that makes me happy. But Katt-nim... I'm a succubus, way more useful in other ways. How about I help you take care of that sexual frustration?"
She flew right up to me, unbuttoning her jacket to reveal her massive breasts cradled in a blue bra.
Ah, fuck...! Seeing that out of nowhere was driving me insane. My dick stiffened instantly, and lust surged through me.
Did this girl know my condition and come to seduce me?!
"Hey, hey. Right off the bat? Go home, you."
"No, it's not like that. You're backed up bad right now. It's honestly kind of shocking. Truth be told, just being near you has my heart pounding like crazy. I'm barely holding back myself..."
"..."
She knew I was struggling with lust and wanted to help—or so it seemed.
Hilde fidgeted, glancing at me nervously before continuing.
"I get it, of course you'd say no. I know exactly what you're thinking and how much you care about your wives. But I can't just stand by and watch... I'm not asking for sex or to use my pussy or anything. Just help you jerk off a bit. That'd clear things up nicely."
"You wanna assist with a handjob?"
"Yes!"
Was this her new sales pitch?
"Be honest... you're suffering right now, aren't you? I can tell. It doesn't make sense for a warrior who's slain a Death Worm—a monumental feat—to be felled by mere lust. You have every right to enslave women, dominate them, and indulge in as much pleasure as you want."
Hildegaard sidled up beside me, whispering seductively in my ear. Fact was, I was hurting like hell right now.
"So, use me as jerk-off material. There's a nice lake just over there. I'll strip completely and strike all sorts of poses for you. How about a quick wank before you head home? It'll make you feel so much better."
"Cut it out, you."
But it wasn't that unbearable.
"No, Katt-nim? This isn't sex. So it's fine, right? Play with me a little before you go! It's just jerking off!"
More than anything, I wasn't the type to fall for a crazy succubus's temptations.
"Jerking off to what, you lunatic? My wives would love seeing me come home with empty balls."
Bottom line, she was offering a show. Demon friend or not, I couldn't just whip it out for that.
"Hiiing."
Hilde pouted, buttoning up her jacket. Then, with downcast eyes, she looked up at me sadly.
"You won't even let me show you?"
"Only my women get to see that."
"I wanna be your woman too... That's sad."
"Come on, what's so sad about it?"
Hilde hung her head, fidgeting with her feet silently.
Hm.
Seeing her like this stirred some human guilt and pity in me. No matter what anyone said, she was my demon friend. I remembered all the help she'd given me.
She was a comrade-in-arms, a fellow warrior.
"..."
Watching her mope in silence felt kinda off.
"Hey, hey. It's not that I don't get where you're coming from... but what can I say? I've already got five women. Even if you wanna be mine, there's nothing I can do."
Maybe it was thinking of Vuigal, but my resolve was softening. Vuigal had become my live-slaughter sword and risked life with me. Hilde had done the same, in her way.
"Hmng."
Hilde looked up, meeting my eyes.
"Five women... so I'd be fine as number six. You always say it—I'm even okay being your sex slave."
"No, that's a huge problem."
"What problem? Is it your issue, or are you worried the other wives would hate it?"
"Obviously both me and them."
Claudia and Risha might be cool with it, but Winia would hate it, Karin wouldn't like it, and who knows about big sis Liz.
"You too, Katt-nim? You don't like me? After all I've done—helping you become a sub-priest and even a paladin? You really don't like me?"
"It's not that I don't like you. We're demon friends."
"That means you like me, right?"
"Yeah."
If anything, Hilde was close to a favorite comrade.
"So the wives hating it is the bigger issue?"
Wait, that sounded off.
"Yes, got it. So if the other wives approve, I can be your woman too."
What?
"Hold on, Hilde? How'd you twist it like that? That's not what I meant."
What nonsense was this? I tried to calmly talk her down, but she suddenly grinned in satisfaction, nodding as she spread her wings.
"Hmng, yeah, that's it. And Katt-nim, the fact that you're answering so calmly means... you like me rationally too! Yes! It has to be! I love you, Katt-nim!"
"Hey, hey! Wait! What are you misinterpreting?! Shut up and listen to me!!"
Flap flap!
Hildegaard's wings beat furiously.
She'd totally misunderstood and gotten the wrong idea. I had to correct it before the misunderstanding snowballed...!
"Got it! See you next time, Katt-nim!!!"
With those parting words, she shot off into the sky, opened a tiny gate in mid-air, and vanished.
What the hell kind of bullshit was that?!
"Hey, you! Come back! That's not what I meant!!!!"
Why did she keep trying to worm her way in...? I just felt bad for her, nothing more—I had no intention of that...!
"Please, Mershin, help me!!!!"
Shouting at the sky did nothing; Hilde didn't return. Of course, that damn bastard Mershin didn't show up to help either.
I pulled the crystal from my pocket and poured in mana, but no Hilde.
"Light Brothers!!!!!"
Just my luck—more trouble brewing.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Anyway, after running all day, I arrived in Isvant. Nothing else mattered right now—I bolted straight home and threw open the door.
"Claudia! Winia! Karin! Risha! And Ari! I'm back!"
"Aaah! Darky!"
The moment I opened the door, Winia shot up from the sofa and rushed over. Books strewn across the table suggested she'd been deep in magic research as usual.
"I was going crazy without my darky by my side! Come here quick!"
"What? Why?"
"Just come! Ahh, so nice."
Before I could even take off my armor, Winia hugged me tight. Her face relaxed as she closed her eyes and nuzzled my neck.
I hadn't washed up from the run.
"Heh heh heh, sorry I'm late. But man, I scored big time this round."
"...Darky, you saying you 'scored big' is making me uneasy for some reason."
"It all worked out, so relax. Where're the others?"
"Karin-sis and Risha-sis are at the guild and shop... Sis is coming down now."
Sure enough, Claudia descended from the second floor.
"Katt's back? Heh heh heh, you look overflowing with confidence. What crazy thing did you do this time?"
"Heh heh heh! Just listen to this!"
I pulled the blood letter from the lady out of my bosom and placed it on the table. Winia picked it up and read it with Claudia.
"50% of the net proceeds from the sale of the Death Worm corpse to be paid as a bounty to Kim Katt, sub-priest of the Brass Celestial Society and D-rank adventurer of the Isvant Adventurer's Guild... This says Isvant? Darky, who gave you th...?"
"Katt? Death Worm? What's that?"
Holding back laughter, I explained everything to my girls.
While we were taking down the drake, a massive Death Worm showed up. I flew into the sky and killed it, and the thrilled lady split the profits with me. Winia was stunned by the full story.
Claudia hopped over and threw her arms around my neck.
"Darky, what the...! I told you not to do dangerous stuff!!!"
"Winia, Katt accomplished something great. Don't be too mad?"
"No, still!!"
Winia yelled, but with Claudia glued to my side, she just muttered, "We'll talk later," and clammed up.
This was gonna take some soothing.
"Anyway, a bounty from the lady... How much do you think it'll be?"
"Dozens of gold, easy."
"That much?"
"The Death Worm was huge. Bigger than ten buildings end-to-end."
I pointed at my foot.
"Killed it with this. Claudia, got anything at home I can smash?"
"Something to smash?"
Claudia fetched a piece of lumber from the backyard and handed it to me. I stood it up on the table.
"Watch closely."
My mana was fully recovered by now.
The self-weight technique using mana from my sole or instep. Liztina's secret move that shakes the insides without a physical strike.
Time to demonstrate.
Splat.
I stripped off my armor, slowly raised my leg, and gently pressed my sole against the wood on the table.
Like showing off a kicking stance.
"..."
Claudia and Winia fell silent, staring.
"Watch."
Recalling the sensation of the Supremacy of the Heavenly Demon, I channeled mana and...
BOOOOM!!!
...detonated it.
"That's how I took the bastard down."
Splinters from the shattered wood flew everywhere.
I'd touched it with my foot and instantly blasted mana through it. No big deal. I was Kim Katt, after all.
I could use this technique perfectly with my feet now.
Winia's jaw dropped; Claudia's eyes sparkled.
Gotta show Karin and Risha tonight when they get back.
"Where's Ari?"
"Sleeping... Darky, what was th...?"
"New technique."
