Archmage Hero Aileen's Outdoor Exposure Service, Part 1
Well, I just saw something incredible.
The sight of the delinquent girl's wet, camel-toe-hugging panties had almost made his Neo Armstrong Dick spring to life. Just as he managed to suppress his erection and prepare to stand up, he saw Delinquent B—the companion of Delinquent A—approaching with the clear intention of stomping on his hand.
Not a chance this time.
Pretending to be completely oblivious, Ted sprang up from the ground.
"Kyaah?!"
Boing!
Thanks to his sudden movement, Ted's face buried straight into Delinquent B's breasts, sending her tumbling backward. The sensation of her chest pressing against his face was magnificent.
"Ugh, what was that?"
Ted stood up, rubbing his face as if he had no idea what had just happened. Right then—
"Whoaaaa!"
The men who had been quietly watching the scene burst into cheers. As Delinquent B fell, her legs had splayed wide open in a perfect M-shape. Following Delinquent A's white panties, Delinquent B's polka-dot panties were now on full display for the world to see. Unfortunately, her pussy wasn't swallowing her underwear like her friend's had, but seeing such an erotic pose was satisfying enough.
"Ugh...!"
Flustered, Delinquent B hurriedly pressed her skirt down to cover herself. She scrambled to her feet and glared daggers at Ted.
"You bastard... you'd better watch your back."
Spitting out a cliché villain line, she hurried after Delinquent A toward the reception desk.
What? Watch my back? That's the best thing I've heard all day!
In fact, he practically begged them to come at him. There was a strict rule among adventurers: duels were matters of life and death, meaning the victor had the legal right to do absolutely anything they wanted to the loser—no matter how depraved or obscene.
Please, just try me...
Adventurers often exploited this loophole. After subduing an opponent who tried to kill them, they would take their virginity or turn them into a Sex Slave. Confident in his own strength, Ted eagerly hoped they would take the bait. The two delinquents might have rotten personalities, but they had pretty faces and great bodies.
Though they're nowhere near Laila's level, of course.
With that thought, Ted made his way toward the exit. Meanwhile...
The delinquent girls approached Laila out of all the receptionists, offering a casual greeting. "Yo, Laila." Since Laila was highly popular even among the staff, they were trying to act friendly. However—
"I would appreciate it if you didn't address me so familiarly. It is quite unpleasant."
Laila replied with a gentle tone, a beautiful smile plastered on her face.
"Huh? Oh, r-right... Ahem. Look here, receptionist."
Delinquent A was slightly taken aback, but she pressed on.
"You see, we've gotten pretty good at hunting low-grade Specters. Got any recommendations for our next step up?"
Delinquent A leaned over the counter with a sleazy grin. Despite the sudden proximity, Laila maintained her professional smile, standing her ground without taking a single step back.
"Whew~"
Delinquent A, seemingly harboring lesbian tendencies, openly ogled Laila's breasts.
"Come on, we're practically friends. Give us a tip on something with a really high payout."
Delinquent A extended her right index finger, thrusting it forward as if she were about to poke Laila's breast. However, she stopped just a hair's breadth away. She knew touching a receptionist directly would only bring trouble, so she restrained herself. Even so, this was blatant sexual harassment. Yet, Laila didn't show even a flicker of annoyance. With flawless professionalism, she offered a recommendation tailored to their request.
"I would be happy to advise you, esteemed adventurers. I highly recommend the Red Dragon of the Volcanic Region, which boasts a 0.1% subjugation success rate over the past few months."
"...Huh?"
"As you requested, it is a quest that offers the absolute highest tier of compensation."
"Wait, hold on! You need to be at least an SSS-rank hero to hunt something like that!"
"Oh, there is no need to worry. It was recently designated as a large-scale raid, so all participation restrictions have been lifted."
"No, that's not the point! With my skills, raid or not, I'll die the second I step foot in there!"
Delinquent A shrieked in horror, but Laila merely kept her smile, completely ignoring her protests.
"Ah, as a side note, if you are struck by the monster's breath, there is a 99.9% probability that you will be incinerated down to the bone. I highly recommend drafting a will beforehand."
"Wait a minute! Are we even having a normal conversation here?! You're smiling, but I feel like you're actually pissed off...?"
"Surely it is just your imagination, esteemed adventurer."
"R-Right...?"
"Indeed. I simply felt that your permanent departure from this world would be a great service to humanity, so I merely recommended a quest where your death is guaranteed."
"You *are* pissed!"
The reception area erupted into chaos. Ted, who had reached the exit, glanced back at the commotion, only to see Delinquent A already being dragged away by the guild guards. Apparently, the charge was sexually harassing a receptionist.
Tsk, tsk. Amateurs. Anything is legal in your own delusions.
She clearly didn't know the golden rule: Yes to delusions, no to touching.
Ted turned back around and stepped out of the building. Just as he was about to head toward the city gates, he overheard a conversation between two other receptionists who were working outside.
"Oh, by the way, did you hear that the hero Aileen Divinity is coming to our city today?"
"Really? Considering the direction of the city she was staying in... she'll probably pass through the Beginner Area, right?"
It was just a fleeting exchange, but it caught Ted's attention.
What?
What did they just say? They had mentioned information about a "Hero." Heroes were SSS-rank adventurers, legendary figures whose faces were normally impossible to even catch a glimpse of. They were the true heroines on the stage of this world.
A Hero...
They were the very reason Ted had become an adventurer, and the ultimate targets for his harem.
Finally, after three months!
Aileen Divinity was an incredibly famous archmage hero, and Ted was well aware of her reputation. If he were to let his desires run wild, he would have wanted to claim her as his woman right this instant. Realistically, though, a legendary hero wouldn't spare a single glance for a low-grade adventurer. Therefore—
If I run into her in the Beginner Area... I have to get close to her!
First, make eye contact. Next, become friends. From there, raise her intimacy level and add her to the harem! It was an absurdly simple and crude plan, but in reality, it was the most standard approach. Nursing this ambition, Ted set off to complete his quest.
Somewhere in the Beginner Area. Having finished exterminating slimes and gathering recovery herbs, Ted was resting on a boulder.
"Ah, damn it."
His eyes fell upon his worn-out sword. It was definitely time for some maintenance.
"The repair cost is going to stretch my budget thin. Sigh."
He wanted to quickly fill his mandatory quota and promote to F+ Rank. The earnings from mere F-rank quests were pitifully low.
Well, my rank should go up by next week.
Although the Adventurer Guild didn't disclose the exact criteria for rank promotion, he had heard that newbies usually ranked up within a hundred days or so.
I wonder when I'll get to see the hero Aileen...
The moment that thought crossed his mind—
"I'm going to go pick some flowers for a bit~"
A faint female voice drifted over on the wind. He couldn't make out the exact words, but it occurred to him that the hero might have arrived.
Should I go check it out?
Leaving the established path behind, Ted headed toward the steep hill where the voice had originated. Just as he was about to reach the top—
Rumble!
Huh?!
Suddenly, the ground split open to the left and right.
Is this magic?
It wasn't a life-threatening situation, but the sudden fissure caused Ted to slip and fall right into the crevice. It was a narrow gap, barely wide enough for his chest and back to fit. He had no idea why someone would split the earth with magic, but he couldn't help but be impressed.
Splitting the earth... so this is the power of a hero's magic. Incredible.
Looking to the side, Ted noticed that the slope of the crevice rose gradually toward the end. If he walked to the very edge of the fissure, he should be able to climb back up without much trouble.
Let's head over there.
Ted shuffled sideways along the gap until he finally reached the end. Just as his head emerged halfway above the ground—
Step.
Someone walked right over Ted's head and spread their legs.
What the...?
Ted looked up. And there—
Chick panties?!
He realized a woman was standing directly above him. What's more, she was wearing panties adorned with a cute little chick pattern.
"Aileen~ I'm going to rest here for a bit~"
"Yeah, got it, Selda. I'll rest here too, so don't wait up~"
The distant voice he had heard earlier had just addressed the woman above him as "Aileen."
Aileen?!
Which meant the woman wearing the chick panties right above his head was none other than Aileen Divinity—the legendary archmage hero and beautiful girl rumored to be visiting the city.
Oh, shit!
It was completely accidental, but he had ended up in a position where he was looking directly up the skirt of a world-famous hero. He had to get out of here before she noticed him.
But wait, aren't chick-patterned panties a bit too childish for a grown woman?
Despite knowing he needed to escape, his eyes instinctively drifted back up to the archmage hero's underwear. At that exact moment—
Slide.
Aileen reached beneath her skirt.
Off they came.
She pulled down her chick-patterned panties and squatted right over the fissure.
Gasp!
Right above his face, Ted was treated to a direct view of the archmage hero's tightly closed, neat slit.
Spread.
At the same time, Aileen used both hands to pull her labia wide open. The hidden, delicate pink flesh of her pussy, which had been tightly concealed just a moment ago, was now fully exposed.
Whoa! I-I'm actually looking at a hero's pussy right now?!
Looking up from directly beneath her, all three of Aileen's private, intimate openings were laid bare before his eyes: her urethra, her vaginal entrance, and her anus. Every single secret, erotic crevice that should have been kept hidden was completely exposed.
Why on earth had Aileen split the ground just to squat down and do something like this?
