Chapter Title: 7-Man Party
"Oh my, Cain!!!"
Tanya finished her slightly late afternoon shift and came out of the shop. Spotting my face, she broke into a wide smile and rushed over to me.
"Let's go."
"Yes! Master!"
After her perfectly natural act for the benefit of those around us, she clung tightly to me and whispered.
"Everything okay?"
"Hmm..."
Until now, whenever I'd asked Tanya if anything was wrong, she'd always said no. But this time, her expression darkened right away.
"What? Something really happen?"
"Well..."
From what Tanya told me, a few days ago at Roy's workplace, they'd uncovered signs that someone had been sent from his family home to the city.
"How's Roy holding up?"
"He's really anxious right now. He's made all these preparations on his end, but..."
Tanya's face was grim.
Ever since I'd claimed her, she'd apparently developed a bit of attachment to Roy—as her pet, or maybe a source of that twisted thrill.
"They haven't gotten close to Roy's merchant house, right?"
"No. Roy set up his own info network while working there, and that's how they caught wind of it."
"Hmm... I had something to suggest anyway. Let's hurry over."
"Huh...?"
Actually, I'd been planning to ask Roy if it was okay to take Tanya into the Labyrinth once. But with this, maybe we'd all go in together?
"How's it looking now?"
"Not dangerous yet, but it's time to start getting ready."
"You look pretty rough."
"Haha..."
His sunken eyes and the new worry piling on top of Tanya's training made Roy look exhausted, even putting it kindly.
"Your family any good at tracking people down?"
"Why do you ask...?"
"If they are, let's hide out in the Labyrinth."
"The... Labyrinth...?"
"Yeah, we've been needing a Level 1 explorer anyway."
I gave them a simple rundown of our situation.
"The Labyrinth... Sigh..."
Roy looked a bit queasy, and Tanya seemed tense too. Can't blame them—they'd just heard we were heading back in.
"If you don't want to, we can find someone else. You two settled right into the city in less than three months, didn't you?"
"That's true."
"Maybe use this chance to join us in the Labyrinth for a month or two. Stir up some confusion."
"Hmm..."
Roy had no real reason to stay in the city.
The issue was that Tanya was the prime suspect in Robin's death and the reason Roy had run away. Even if he made it back safe, he couldn't guarantee her safety.
Tanya was pregnant, but Roy had spotted traces of pursuers closing in faster than expected. He pondered a bit more.
"Roy. Do what Cain says."
"T-Tanya?"
"What?"
"Ah... O-Okay."
Tanya, who'd been flustered at first by the idea of returning to the Labyrinth, had calmed down and was now pressuring Roy into it.
Under her slightly domineering gaze, he flinched and answered immediately.
Roy nodded eagerly at Tanya's words.
"Good boy."
"Eek...!"
Tanya flashed a satisfied smile after getting the answer I wanted, then patted Roy's crotch before standing up.
"So, when do we head in?"
"In two days? Or three? Just say you wanna go back to the Labyrinth—no one's gonna stop you."
"Right..."
"Such a shame. The tips were pretty good..."
"Sis, you're the ace at the shop anyway. They'll take you back if you ask later."
"Hehe, you think?"
"And on the condition that you two don't have to do anything in the Labyrinth..."
And just like that, I'd recruited Loren's stopgap party members for gaining experience.
If luck was on our side, Tanya or Roy's stats might even go up.
"Well, I'll head out then."
"Huh? Already? Stay for dinner."
"Nah, I said I'd head back early today."
"Aww... Bummer."
"Eek...!"
As I started to stand, Tanya grabbed me, and Roy flinched at her disappointed reaction.
"Oh right, don't you need to go shopping, sis?"
"Oh yeah, you rushed me so I came straight here~"
"I'll walk you to the market."
"Okay. Honey, Sia and I are gonna head out 'just the two of us' for a bit."
"Hngh...! Hnng... O-Okay..."
"That's right... Good boy."
For a moment, he'd been all worried and anxious, but the instant Tanya mentioned us heading out alone, his face twisted pathetically.
"..."
Fl-inch!!!
She whispered something in Roy's ear, and his body jerked like he'd been struck by lightning.
"Let's go, Cain."
"Yeah, bro. See you in two days."
"Uh... Y-Yeah!! Sure..."
What did she say?
As Tanya and I headed out, arms linked, she casually brought it up.
"Earlier... I told him we were going out for outdoor sex."
"Huh? You're already going that far?"
"Yeah... Hehe! It really works just like you explained, Master...?"
Following my instructions, Tanya had used drugs and gaslighting to make Roy fully believe his memories were delusions.
Then she'd accused him of maybe getting turned on by watching her with other men—some weird fetish—and got him to accept that as his actual kink.
Far from contempt, she'd comforted him, saying she'd accept that side of him too. She'd shared "made-up" stories of her real experiences with me as if they were fantasies, all while managing his releases.
"He's almost fully broken in."
"Yup! Hehe, I did good, right?"
"Yeah. Oh, and..."
I told her about Claude.
"Pfft!! That guy's the leader?"
"When we hit the Labyrinth, give him a handjob when you get the chance."
"F-For real?"
"Of course it's real. What, you think I'd lie? Praise Claude a ton to Roy too. You remember how you act when you do it for other guys, right?"
"Hng... But right now, you're the only one I know..."
"Do as you're told, you bitch."
Slap!
"Kyaa!! O-Okay, hehe..."
Among the women I'd fucked, two were virgins, two weren't.
But putting Camella and Tanya on the same level as non-virgins? Tanya fell way short.
Was a village bike like her the same as a wife who'd kept her chastity for eight years only to get dumped?
Time to loop Claude in. Make Tanya's second hole his cock pillow.
Her pussy had been through plenty anyway—might as well yield it to him. I'd stick to anal.
Anal was virgin territory, so it'd be mine alone.
"Quit your job ASAP then. You and Roy won't need gear or anything... Just pack three weeks' worth of food for you two."
"Eek...? F-For real? You sure it's okay...?"
Tanya's face darkened with worry at my words.
"Hey, without you two, this is a party with four people over Level 3. Don't sweat it."
And with Sia as our luck totem, we wouldn't get screwed over this time.
"O-Okay..."
"We've prepped plenty, and one's a 15-year vet explorer. No need to worry."
"Got it."
I was about to send her off to the market when outdoor sex crossed my mind. I got a quick service from her mouth-pussy and headed back to the inn.
"Listen up, everyone."
I brought it up as we gathered around the table on the inn's first floor for dinner.
"I got approval from those folks I mentored before. They're joining us for the Labyrinth dive."
"Huh? What? You already found people? Nice... As expected of Cain."
Claude, totally in the dark, grinned ear-to-ear and gave me a thumbs-up.
"Understood. Got it, Cain."
"Oh, Loren—come with me tomorrow."
"Huh?"
"You'll see when we get there."
"O-Okay."
She panicked a bit at the idea of going somewhere alone with me tomorrow, her face flushing slightly. Sia, knowing we were fetching her shield, giggled while watching us.
And then.
"Wooow! Cain's the best!!"
"Yeah, let's eat quick, Sia. Ahh~"
"Ahh~"
Sia hung off my arm, accepting the food I fed her as dinner began.
I was in bed, naked and embracing Sia. Lately, she'd gotten hooked on touching my body. She just stared at me without doing anything.
"Cain."
"Yeah? What's up, Sia."
"Um..."
"Huh? What is it?"
After a long pause, biting her lip, Sia finally asked.
"Um... Is the big sis you mentored pretty?"
"Ah."
She'd remembered there was a woman among the people I'd mentored before and was asking about it.
"Our Sia's way prettier~"
"Hehe... Ahh! That's not what I... Um..."
I stroked her head as she rolled her eyes, searching for words.
"Nah, that sis has a boyfriend."
"Really? Phew..."
Jealousy, reacting to another woman—she was growing up.
Squeeze-
"Hya!! It hurts!!"
"Your nipples pop right out now. You wanna already?"
"Huh?? Y-Yeah... T-To have a baby..."
"Be honest."
"I wanna do seex~ Hehe."
With her girl troubles solved and her worries eased, Sia clung to me eagerly.
Plunge-!
"Hnnngh!!"
It hadn't even been days, but Sia's pussy had molded perfectly to my cock, gripping my rod without a gap.
"Sleeping together every night feels good, right?"
"Yeah! Hehe, hnng... Cain, faster..."
"Why?"
"Thrust deep quick..."
Her hips and waist wiggled gently, begging me to pound her. I railed her till dawn and passed out.
