Chapter 7: Meanwhile, the Hero's Party...[R-18]
Tina, the beastman warrior of the Hero's party.
As a cat beastman, she had been going through her toughest days recently.
“No, I’m telling you, the numbers here don’t add up! You’ve got good ears, but are your eyes messed up?”
“I’m not used to dealing with numbers, so I don’t know.”
“Still, if it’s your job, you should do it properly!”
“You’re one to talk, your laundry is a mess. Showing off that you were raised so delicately in a church?”
“Are you trying to start a fight right now?!”
Right before her eyes, Rose and Claire were fighting, cursing at each other.
Lately, it was an almost daily occurrence.
To be precise, ever since the two of them had to take on chores.
The two of them nitpicked every little thing about each other's work.
‘...Of course they're bad at it. They've never done it before.’
The women of the Hero's party were all of high status.
Rose was the daughter of the Elven chief, and Claire was a Saint, no less.
They might know how to fight, but they were women who had never done a single household chore in their lives.
And yet, both were too proud to admit their own mistakes.
So they’d find fault with the other first, before they could be criticized.
It was the classic “You can't do it either, so why are you getting on my case!” logic.
Naturally, it was a fight that could never go in a productive direction.
‘Well, those two have been dying to kill each other from the start anyway.’
The Saint, Claire, and the Elf, Rose.
The two of them never got along from the beginning.
An Elf who believes in spirits and a Saint who serves a god were like oil and water.
Exchanging insults and having arrows and Holy Missiles fly back and forth was a daily routine.
In truth, the women of the Hero's party were all rivals.
They all wanted the status of the Hero's wife, a position that guaranteed a bright future.
It was a chance to gain both wealth and honor at once.
But while there could be concubines, there could only be one legal wife.
Normally, the three of them would be at each other's throats every day, keeping one another in check.
There was only one reason why such a volatile party had been running smoothly.
‘It was because of the magician, Lee Hyun-woo.’
When Hyun-woo was around, the party ran just fine.
There were, well, several reasons for that.
The fact that Hyun-woo took care of all the chores they didn't want to do.
The fact that, thanks to him being their common enemy, the women could relieve stress by badmouthing him together.
And the fact that he was competent enough to solve most problems on his own.
‘But that person is gone now.’
Just doing chores was annoying enough, but then another woman kept picking fights.
And there was no way to relieve the stress that built up.
It was only natural for the party to start falling apart.
‘Ugh! What were these girls thinking, banishing the magician?!’
Tina wasn't there when Hyun-woo was banished.
From her perspective, it was a bolt from the blue—she'd woken up to find the magician gone from the party.
Tina didn't particularly like Hyun-woo either.
In fact, she disliked him for always nagging and interrupting her sex life.
But did she want him gone completely?
Absolutely not.
‘Because that human magician did so much.’
It wasn't just the chores mentioned earlier. Paperwork, managing money, standing watch, conquering dungeons, slaying monsters.
It was to the point where the party simply couldn't function without that magician.
For someone like that to leave without even a handover, the result was obvious, wasn't it?
Besides, that magician was incredibly skilled.
Rose and Claire, who always stayed in the back, might not know.
But Tina, who fought on the front lines, had lost count of the times his magic had helped her.
‘I have to bring him back somehow...’
Tina glanced over, trying to read Leon's expression.
The solution was actually simple. Leon just had to apologize to the magician.
That soft-hearted human would probably pretend to give in and forgive him, just like always.
The problem was, Leon showed no intention of doing so.
‘...But I can't just tell him to apologize first.’
That would be scratching the Hero's pride.
All the women already knew that Leon felt an inferiority complex towards Hyun-woo.
If he were told to apologize first, how would Leon react?
It was uncertain if Leon would actually apologize upon hearing that.
But the moment someone said it, it was guaranteed they would get on Leon's bad side.
‘Then I'd definitely lose out to those bitches.’
Regardless of the outcome, Leon would see her as ‘a woman who prioritized Hyun-woo over him.’
That would have a huge impact on his future choice.
And were those two just any ordinary bitches?
They would pounce on the opportunity like hyenas.
-Oh my... you miss that magician so much? Then why don't you just team up with him.
-That's right, Sir Hero. It seems she likes the magician more than you~
‘...I'd rather die than see that happen.’
All the women in the party knew this.
So they were in a hopeless situation where they knew the problem and the solution, but could only watch each other warily.
“Haaa...”
The moment she sighed in frustration, the two turned on Tina.
“Tina, what have you done right to be sighing like that?”
“Huh? Wh-what?”
“That's right! Wasn't it your job to pick up quests? So why did you bring back crap like this?”
“I-I couldn't help it! Quests suitable for our level are rare.”
No matter how rotten things got, they were still the Hero's party.
They couldn't accept just any trivial quest.
But quests that paid a lot of money easily were rare.
When Tina went to the guild and looked at the documents, her head was spinning.
By the time she came to her senses, she had already accepted a low-paying quest from the guild master and left.
It was a wonder how that magician had managed to pick up such good quests one after another.
‘No, more importantly, these bitches...’
I stay quiet and they think I'm a pushover.
“Besides, at least I brought back a proper quest! But you two can't even handle simple chores? Forget being adventurers, aren't you failures as women?”
“Wh-what?”
“Are you done talking?”
Just as the argument was about to escalate into a fight, Leon, who had been pretending not to notice until now, stood up and stopped the three of them.
“Now, now. Everyone, stop.”
“Don't worry so much, everyone. It's not like we have anything urgent to do. We still have the support funds from the royal family.”
“Th-that's...”
Faced with his carefree expression, completely oblivious to their feelings, the three were momentarily at a loss for words.
...Could it be that he really doesn't understand the gravity of the situation?
“This is all stuff we used to do anyway, right? We'll get used to it if we take it slow. Let's not rush and just take our time.”
“Uh, yes. You're right. That's Leon for you. He's on a different level than us.”
But the only person who could point that out wasn't here.
The women forced a smile.
Is it really okay to keep following this Hero?
Such anxiety was slowly seeping into their hearts.
Suddenly, I saw Amy struggling to move some luggage.
I slowly approached and lifted the luggage that was on top.
“Huh? Oh?”
Amy was momentarily surprised by the sudden lightness. Then she saw me and her face turned red.
“S-Sir?”
“Where are you headed? I'll carry it for you.”
“Oh, no! I can't let a guest do work!”
“Come on, what guest? I'm just a boarder. It makes me feel better to help out with things like this.”
Amy jumped up and down, but the height difference was too great.
Just by raising my hand, I could keep it completely out of her reach.
“Come on~ Aren't you going to lead the way? My arms are starting to hurt.”
“Ugh, okay then. Please.”
Amy nodded, looking incredibly grateful and flustered.
‘After only dealing with those ungrateful bitches, a reaction like this is refreshing.’
A maid with a 100-point personality, 100-point face, 1000-point breasts, and 10000-point honey thighs.
The outfit that showed off her bursting chest, visible from my vantage point, was also perfect.
”By the way, calling me 'Sir' feels so distant.“
”I-Is that so?“
”I told you I'm a commoner too. Just call me comfortably, like ‘Hyun-woo~’.”
”Wh-What?!“
Amy looked even more flustered than before.
”I-I really can't do that! At least let me add '-nim' to your name!“
“Alright. Then it's a promise. You'll call me Hyun-woo-nim instead of Sir, okay?”
“Ah, ack!”
The flustered Amy soon realized she'd been tricked and puffed out her cheeks.
“...You're a bit of a tease, Hyun-woo-nim.”
“I'm not like this with everyone. Only with cute girls like you, Amy.”
“I-I meant that part, too….”
Amy turned her head away, blushing.
Even her ears were red, a clear sign of her embarrassment.
There's no woman alive who dislikes being called cute.
“H-Here, I'll take it from here! Thank you so much!”
Amy scurried away with quick steps.
As her skirt swayed, the absolute territory between her honey thighs and butt flashed in and out of view.
‘Hah, I want to lift her skirt, pin her against the wall, and fuck her right now.’
I'd love to do just that, but now is not the time.
I need to raise her affection level to the point where it's at least consensual.
‘But it's going to be hard to wait until then. Isn't there an easier way?’
