Chapter 49: The Plundering Guard (1)
Rainie, Rena’s master and the Vice Commander of the Hugo Kingdom’s 2nd Knight Order, greeted the morning alone. Since she had never even had a boyfriend, let alone slept with a man, waking up solo was a familiar routine. However, it was a level of silence she hadn't experienced in years.
‘Master! Are you awake? Let’s do our morning training together!’
‘Master! Breakfast is ready! Let’s eat together!’
‘Master! My swordsmanship is...’
‘Master!’
Her ever-energetic disciple had always been the one to wake her. Originally, that was a maid's duty, but a few months after Rena arrived, she had essentially taken over the task entirely.
To think that such a girl would stay out all night.
‘It’s lonely.’
When Rena didn't return without a word, Rainie looked into her whereabouts and discovered she had entered an inn with a senior guard. Rainie recalled the relationship advice she had given just before dawn the other day.
‘To think she’d seek advice from someone as inexperienced as me. I was grateful she relied on me, but I didn't have much to say other than telling her to be more aggressive.’
Well, things must have gone well if she stayed the night. Presumably, this and that happened. If a man and a woman go to an inn together, it’s obvious what they’re there for.
Just imagining the two of them entwined made Rainie’s face flush. Swinging a sword was the best way to clear away useless distractions. As she grabbed her gear and headed out, the Head Maid came running over.
“Lady Rainie. Breakfast is prepared. Would you like to eat?”
“It’s fine. I plan to train for a bit before heading to work today.”
“Understood.”
Rainie caught the Head Maid just as she was about to withdraw with a polite bow, struck by a sudden thought.
“By the way, about Rena’s senior guard.”
“Do you mean Guard Sma?”
“Yes. I need more detailed information about him.”
“May I ask why...? Ah, it’s because of Lady Rena, isn’t it?”
The Head Maid gave a warm smile. Rena, always full of energy and kind to the staff, was beloved by everyone in the mansion.
“Based on the rumors gathered so far, he seems like a decent man, but we must be certain. He might be someone she shares her future with, after all. I will look into him thoroughly.”
“Good.”
The Head Maid was reliable, so there was no need to worry further. Rainie thought to herself as she walked toward the training ground.
‘If a single tear falls from Rena’s eyes, I won’t leave that Sma fellow in peace.’

When I woke up, my hand was gripping something soft and squishy. It was too firm to be Iruna’s breast, and too small to be Mehya’s.
Right. It was Rena’s breast. I’d fucked her to my heart’s content yesterday. Forcing my heavy eyelids open, I saw Rena’s face right in front of mine.
Her thick eyelashes and sharp nose were incredibly beautiful. Her breasts were excellent, too, and her nipples were so round they were a delight to touch. It felt like playing with the joystick on an arcade machine.
“Mmm... Senior...”
As I toyed with her nipple for a while, Rena talked in her sleep. To think she wouldn't wake up from even this. Just how exhausted was she?
My cock started reacting, and just as I was about to attempt some sleep-sex, the door burst open and Izumi walked in.
“I’ve brought breakfast.”
“A-Ah, no. Boss, what are you...”
Flustered, I quickly pulled up the blanket. Izumi licked her lips as her eyes scanned my shoulders.
“Since you had such an enjoyable time yesterday, I thought it might be difficult for you to come down for breakfast, so I brought it up myself. I’ve specially prepared a menu that’s good for stamina.”
“Could you hear us from outside?”
“A little? We try to be mindful of soundproofing, but we aren’t exactly a luxury inn. Still, it wasn't too loud, so you can rest easy.”
She handled the situation with practiced ease, as if she’d dealt with this many times before. As expected, not just anyone can be an innkeeper. Then again, this is an eroge world; normal people must be rare among the men who visit inns. Especially since this place is run by a beautiful mother and daughter.
Her coquettish gestures were likely a survival tactic as an innkeeper. Even that gaze evaluating my body...
Wait, isn't she just a married woman who can't control her lust? Her husband is bedridden, so she probably hasn't had a chance to relieve herself lately. In the midst of that, a fit man showed up and let her hear the sounds of hot sex.
In the end, I guess I’m just too charming and ended up bewitching a married woman. True to her role as an eroge character, Izumi had the appearance and body of someone in her twenties. A dense, mature body at the peak of its ripeness. It felt like if I just reached out, she’d be mine.
I don't turn away women who come to me. Since Rena made her oath yesterday, she won't interfere with us.
“Ahem. Excuse me...”
“And since you’re the benefactor who helped prevent my husband’s condition from worsening, I had to take care of you personally. Of course, breakfast and the room are free. You, Guard, may use all of our inn’s services for free for the rest of your life.”
Izumi subtly placed a hand on her own breast. It was a gesture that made me wonder exactly what was included in those "services."
My lust was stirred, and I was about to make a move when Tiarushi appeared.
“Mom! The guests downstairs are... Hieek?! I-I’m sorry!!”
Tiarushi saw me, turned bright red, and bolted. Now that is the reaction of a typical virgin. It was refreshing and nice to see.
“Oh dear. To think my daughter would come looking for me the moment I stepped away. Well then, please enjoy your meal and leave the empty dishes in the room. We’ll take care of them.”
“Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”
“No, I’m the one who should be thankful. Fufu.”
Leaving behind a final, meaningful remark, Izumi made her exit. Hmm, the possibility of a mother-daughter sandwich I’d joked about seems quite high. It feels like she’d gladly spread her legs the moment I brought it up.
I’ll save that thought for later and eat first. When I shook Rena awake, she started crying as she looked at me.
“Why are you crying again?”
“Because I’m happy... To think I’m greeting the morning with you, Senior. It feels like a dream.”
“Want me to check if it’s a dream or not?”
When I pinched her cheek, Rena giggled.
“That hurts.”
“It’s not a dream, right? The innkeeper brought food, so let’s eat.”
“Before that.”
Peck.
Rena shyly kissed me. I couldn't hold back after that. After a round of vigorous sex, I felt drained.
“...Let’s eat.”
“Yes!”
Aside from the fact that the grilled eel had gone cold and tasted a bit fishy, it was a satisfying meal. I got horny again while we washed up together in the bathroom, but I held back since it was almost time for work.
Since Rena and I are in that kind of relationship now anyway, I can just let it out at the checkpoint. Hehe.
As we finished dressing and headed out, Tiarushi came scurrying over.
“Guard! Are you leaving now?”
“Yes. Thanks to you, I ate well and rested well.”
“I see...”
Tiarushi glanced at Rena’s face and blushed. Was she remembering my body that she’d glimpsed earlier? Maybe next time I should "accidentally" show her my cock. I’m curious to see how she’d react.
I finished settling the bill, and as we stepped outside, a beauty with grey hair and grey eyes was talking to herself while looking at the inn.
“So this is the Lily of the Valley... the inn with the best security among the affordable ones. I’ll work hard in the dungeon and pay off all my debts...”
That woman is Greystar, the protagonist of Nothing but Ruin if I Don't Repay the Merchant Guild's Debt ~ A Debtor's Life Starting from an Inn.
To think three women worth bedding are gathered in one place. This place is a total treasure chest. The food is good too, so I should drop by often to get acquainted.
“Senior? Why are you looking at that person like that?”
“Because she’s pretty.”
“Hmph. What about me?”
“Of course Rena is pretty too.”
I gave her butt a playful smack, making Rena jump and look around at the people nearby. Fortunately, there were no pedestrians passing by, but Greystar was looking at us with a surprised expression.
When our eyes met, she slunk away. In the eroge, her first blowjob scene didn't happen until six months in. Since this wasn't a game made by Isekai Studio, the timeline wasn't likely to be moved up.
So, I don't have to worry until I’ve finished bedding all the heroines I’ve already met.
“Senior. Other people are watching...”
“What does it matter? If they know you’re my woman, useless flies won't buzz around you.”
“Is that really the reason?”
“It’s also because Rena is just so sexy.”
“...”
Rena wordlessly leaned into me. As I walked while holding her firm waist, people passing by stole glances at us.
As we passed near the plaza, the seed merchant I’d become friendly with called out to me.
“Guard! Off to work?”
“Yes. You’re out early.”
“I have to come out early to sell even one more thing. But that young lady... she’s different from the one you were with last time.”
“Haha. She’s my junior.”
“Ah, I see.”
She had a look of suspicion, wondering if our relationship was deeper. But like a quick-witted merchant, she didn't pry.
“I see you’re supporting your junior because she’s unwell. Her face is bright red; she must be quite sick. In times like this, you should grow this plant and brew it into a tea. Would you like to buy some?”
“I’m busy heading to work right now, so I’ll come by this evening.”
“Oh my, alright then. I’ve held up a busy man for too long. Work hard, junior. It’s thanks to you all that our kingdom can be at peace despite the dungeons.”
“Y-Yes! Thank you!”
As soon as we parted from the merchant, Rena pulled away from me.
“What’s wrong? Are you embarrassed?”
“Yes...”
“Then let’s just have one last hug before we go.”
“Yes!”
Rena buried her face in my chest and nuzzled against me. She’s cute, like an obedient large dog. After sharing some warmth, we pulled apart, only for me to spot a familiar brat in the distance.
Hans’s eyes went wide as saucers as he pointed a finger at us.
“Y-You! How could you! You did that to my sister, and yet, how could you!”
“What are you blathering about?”
“He’s the hunter who came to the checkpoint and ran away last time, right? How dare he point a finger at my senior. I can’t let this slide.”
“What are you going to do?”
“Just leave it to me.”
Rena pulled her suppression baton from her waist.
“Hunter Hans. If you don't put that finger away immediately, I will arrest you for insulting a guard.”
“You’re being deceived! That man is a bad person!”
“I gave you a chance, and you insult my senior again?”
He shouldn't have insulted me in front of Rena. Fuming with rage, Rena arrested Hans.
“Don't do this! You’re being deceiv—”
“Quiet.”
Rena whacked him on the back of the head, and Hans went silent.
“I’ll go hand this arrogant kid over to the prison. I’m sorry, but could you handle the opening by yourself, Senior?”
“Of course. Be careful.”
Hans’s crime wasn't major, so he’d likely be released soon, but since Rena was genuinely angry, he’d probably be under investigation for at least a few days. To get out earlier than that, he’d have to ask a guard he was friendly with... and the only person Hans knew was Yuna, right?
I was planning to target Yuna next, and thanks to Hans, things are going to play out easily. When I gave her a thumbs up, Rena shouted happily.
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
