Chapter Title: Mentoring Program (6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Honey, take a break."
"Ugh... yeah, sure. You worked hard today too, Tanya."
Thud-
Tanya was in an incredibly good mood today.
After the boring training at the guild finally wrapped up, the moment she confirmed that her matched mentor from that mentoring program or whatever was the guy she'd bumped into at the park last time—the one who perfectly matched her tastes—she'd screamed internally that it was a fateful encounter!
Grab!
"Sis."
"Haa... Robin, I'm tired today..."
"But you said that yesterday too?"
"I don't care!"
Slap!
The second Roy entered the room, Tanya smacked away Robin's arms as he hugged her right there in the middle of the hallway and rubbed his erection against her ass, then shot him a glare.
"We're heading into the labyrinth the day after tomorrow. Let me rest."
"No...!"
"Go to the pleasure house or something."
"Wh... what?!"
You think I wouldn't notice? Every time I'm too tired for sex and skip out, that's where you head off to, that pleasure house or whatever.
"Roy's caught on too, so tone it down a bit."
"But... you said it yourself, sis..."
"So, did he die yet? He's still alive, isn't he?"
In the last year or two, Robin had shot up bigger than Roy and gotten handsome enough to catch her eye, so Tanya had been subtly seducing him whenever she had time. But she never imagined he'd confess she was his first love and follow her all the way to Labyrinth City.
Well... when she joked that if he followed her to the city, she'd go all the way, and he actually did, Tanya had taken his virginity about ten days ago.
After tasting Robin's decent-sized cock—which was much better than Roy's little one—she'd decided to switch over from Roy. But Robin was coming on way too strong.
Probably because he was just twenty and freshly introduced to pussy—he kept trying to fuck her at every opportunity, which was getting annoying. So Tanya was reining him in just enough to keep things manageable.
She'd always enjoyed using her looks to tease other guys since she was young. With Roy's family loaded, she'd been secretly dating him for ten years, hiding it from the village.
The only one who knew was Robin, who'd always resented their relationship. Ever since Tanya took his virginity here in the city, he'd been sneakily groping her body and flaunting it in front of Roy like a kid showing off. She found it childish.
What's the point of being handsome with a big dick if your brain's still that of a kid?
She loved how he pounded her like a dog during sex, but he needed to learn restraint. Tanya was tired of him just ramming in before she was even wet.
"Fine..."
"We're about to enter the labyrinth. You gonna keep this up?"
"Sis..."
God, catering to his whims is such a hassle. Jack from the warehouse was way cleaner about this stuff.
Tanya briefly recalled Jack, the warehouse keeper who'd taken her virginity and fucked her right up until the night before she left the village for Labyrinth City. She quickly schooled her expression and planted a kiss on Robin.
Mwah-
"Not many girlfriends put up with you visiting the pleasure house, huh? I'm heading in."
"Wh...? Yeah!!!! Got it!!!"
Hearing her call herself his girlfriend instead of "sis" with that kiss sent Robin bounding out happily.
"Phew, thinking about dealing with a kid five years younger long-term was exhausting, but looks like it'll be fine."
From what she'd heard, after the mentoring wrapped up—unless things were a total disaster—you kept running into your mentor around the city and stayed friendly. Recalling the decadent beauty of the guy who'd introduced himself as Cain, Tanya hummed a tune as she slipped into her room.
Creeak-
Entering her room at the far end of the single-occupancy lodgings they'd been assigned, Tanya tossed off her gear and flopped onto the bed in just her bra and panties.
Thump!
The inn looked pretty upscale, but since Roy was footing the bill, Tanya had no clue how much it cost.
"So heavy... We're only going in once anyway, no point..."
Even after noticing the weird vibe between her and Robin post-virginity loss, Roy just trailed after them grumbling without a word. Must be from leashing him well since he was little.
Something off? What could he even do about it?
He'd chosen to elope with her in the first place, so Tanya wasn't worried.
I'm the best. A fatal woman, hehe.
Robin seemed okay at first, but the kid was all body, no brains. When she casually floated killing Roy in the labyrinth and splitting his cash, he agreed without hesitation. That guy's no saint either.
Squelch!
Pushing aside her lacy black panties and spreading her flushed labia majora, Tanya muttered as she fingered her pussy.
"All men are the same. Rub their tits a bit, pretend to fall for them, string 'em along, and reeling them in is easy."
She'd eloped with Roy because, while secretly dating him, she'd been giving it up one by one to village guys showering her with gifts and trinkets. Word spread that Tanya was easy, reaching his dad's ears, and they opposed the marriage. So they ran.
"Even with all those gold nuggets from Roy's family, the exchange fees are highway robbery."
Squelch!
Still, they'd exchanged plenty, and with Roy still alive, she let him handle the money without complaint.
"Soon... hehe! They said the guild checks life status via card, right?"
Recalling her handsome mentor's explanation from today, Tanya's fingering sped up.
Squelch squelch!! Squelch!!
"Huuuh... No need for quests anymore... haat!"
She'd planned to outsource to the slums if needed, but now she figured she'd just handle Roy in the labyrinth. Her fantasies unfolded.
Squelch!!!
"Mentor bro was so damn hot... hiiit..! Once we're close and I tidy up Robin too, maybe ask to join his party?"
Squelch!! Squelch!!! Squelch!!
"Huuuuh... Level 3, huh... Can't wait."
She'd turned down sex with Robin for one reason: he left her wanting.
Over five years, she'd fucked Jack and plenty of others, but only Jack's sessions were burned into her.
"Explorer power... pounding like a beast soon..."
Jack was a retired Level 3 explorer who'd drifted into the village.
No matter how big Robin's build or dick, it barely beat Roy's. Only Jack hammered her cervix to the brink. So she only fucked Robin when masturbation fell short.
"Huu... Can't wait for the labyrinth..."
Was she excited for labyrinth delving or her fated mentor's cock? Either way, Tanya masturbated through the night.
"Hieeetchooo!!!"
"Ahh, Cain, what're you doing at the dinner table..."
"Oops, sorry."
What, someone trash-talking me? Midway through dinner, Claude chided me for the sudden sneeze.
"So you're checking supplies tomorrow and heading in the day after?"
"Yeah, five-day schedule."
"Hehe, Cain! I... um..."
Thwack!
"Ow... whyyy!!"
"That's what you get for playing too much. Claude, you two do gathering quests in the morning, then free time at the inn afternoon."
I gave Sia—still sucking up after three weeks—a knuckle rap and told them to do gathering quests.
Sia alone might be risky, so Claude as escort.
"Got it."
"Gathering!!"
"Yeah, and don't slack. I'll ask Mion how much you gathered. Claude, you're slow but you know how, right?"
"Tch..!"
"Hehe!!"
Claude, who hated herb picking, clicked his tongue. Sia beamed at alone time with him.
"Hurry and eat, then rest."
"Yeah!!"
"O...kay, this is Lucas's shop. You'll be visiting this general store the most."
Camella's waiting at her secret spot—gotta go alone.
Johnson's place feels like locals-only, not too crowded.
But bringing juniors to my precious affair spot felt wrong, so I picked the biggest, busiest one.
"Whoa! Mentor, this place is huge!"
"Biggest general store in Labyrinth City, I'd bet."
Biggest suckers too. From what I saw, Roy or Robin foots the bill while Tanya drains 'em. No budget worries.
Girls hit spots like this and go "Oh, gotta have this!" blowing cash.
Like past-life shop clerks tempting hobbyists to full gear sets. Big store, tons of staff to upsell.
"Welcome! Lucas's shop!"
"Yeah, we'll browse."
"Aw, don't be like that. You all seem new..."
"We said we'll browse."
"Uh... yes, sir!!"
When the clerk tried latching onto the naive rookies, I scowled her off.
"Get hooked wrong and you'll drop 50 silver on unused crap in a day. Stay sharp and follow close."
"Eek!"
Tanya overreacted, glomming onto my back.
"Only trusting you, mentor~"
"Reliable, huh?"
"...."
Just in case—super unlikely, but if something tragic hits in the labyrinth—I could inherit all their gear. So I watched like it was mine.
"Whew... that was chaos! Thanks, mentor!"
"S... sis, lemme... in!!"
"Don't talk to me, I'm at my limit too."
"Hm? This is just right, no?"
"....."
Started all haha-ho-ho together, but as purchases piled, only Tanya and I kept energy. Roy and Robin lugged bags, drained.
Don't they exercise? All stats at 1, and this puny load wipes 'em? Weak.
"Next... food supplies."
"Yes!"
Grabbed jerky, hardtack, dry rations at the food shop. Finally hit the church aid station for certified healing potions, antidotes, bandages. Then split, meeting at the entrance hall next morning.
Shopped till early evening, got closer to Tanya. She switched to calling me Cain casually, I called her sis.
By parting, she clung arm-in-arm chattering loud. Roy and Robin, spent as porters, couldn't even glare—just panted home to the inn.
