Chapter 122: Scandinavia(1)
Chapter 122: Scandinavia(1)
Kerry stretched on the inn's bed.
Morning already.
He had spent the hours before dawn learning various things from the White Witch. It had been a fruitful morning.
Opening the room's window, a gust of fresh air swept in.
Outside, he could see people bustling about, preparing their stalls for the day.
Every time he saw scenes of daily life like this, it hit him all over again. I really did fall into another world.
Knock, knock, knock.
A knock on the door. He didn't need to see who it was; it was obvious. One of the party members must have come to get him for breakfast.
Kerry opened the door. Lina stood there, looking as neat and proper as ever.
"Time for breakfast, Kerry."
"Alright, Lina."
The moment he stepped out of the room, Natasha threw her arms around him in a deep hug.
Anyone seeing how happy she was would think they'd been separated for days.
The party ate in the inn's main hall. Perhaps because it was the best inn in town, the food was quite decent.
The Saintess, however, complained about the side dishes as if to boast of her expensive palate.
"Hmph. I normally only eat food prepared by my personal chef. Besides, there's hardly any meat in this soup."
'Ego. Make the Saintess lick her bowl clean, not leaving a single drop of soup.'
[Yes, Master.]
Who does she think she is, ruining the mood? This stuff is good enough even for a modern person.
The rest of the party chuckled as they watched the Saintess eat her soup so cleanly that the bowl hardly needed washing.
Just then, the voices of other diners in the hall drifted over.
He wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but the hall wasn't very large, so he couldn't help but overhear.
"Hey, did you hear? They say a war is coming."
"War? People have been crying 'war' for ages. It's nothing new. We just need to worry about making a living. The Saintess and the Emperor will take care of it."
The Saintess you're talking about is right next to you, buddy.
"This time, the mood is really different. My cousin who lives near the border sent a letter. Said they actually came dangerously close to a clash."
"...Really?"
Hearing this, Lina's expression darkened rapidly.
Things are progressing faster than in my past life.
They must feel threatened and are trying to speed things up. That means I have to hurry our schedule as well.
"Still, there's no way the war would reach this far inland... right?"
"You never know. All we can do is pray to Lady Elena."
Lina repeated to herself internally.
'To stop the war, I have to destroy their Black Monoliths.'
So far, she had only destroyed one.
She had to destroy at least two more to stop their plan. Destroying all of them would be even better.
Lina thought of a certain mage with beautiful black hair.
'No matter what, I have to stop her resurrection.'
Meanwhile, on Kerry's command, the Saintess had finished off her leftovers so thoroughly that her plate was spotless.
The look she shot Kerry was quite a sight. Well, who told you to be a picky eater?
Lina saw this and spoke up.
"I'm sorry, everyone... but our break is over. We need to push forward with the schedule."
They had only rested for a single day, but they were already used to forced marches.
But there was one person who wasn't.
"We just had a battle a few days ago, and we've been camping and riding for two days straight. You want to leave already?"
"Yes."
"Isn't this too much of a forced march, Hero?"
The Saintess was protesting when Kerry gave her a subtle look, telling her to be quiet, and her mouth snapped shut.
Well, it's not like I don't understand her situation.
As penance, she was the one carrying all of the party's luggage by herself.
The healer and the pack mule.
The thought of carrying the luggage must have soured her mood, as her face turned pale.
Lina said firmly, "We have no choice. The more we hurry, the more they hurry. This is a race against time."
"Where is our next destination, Lina?"
"Our next destination is my homeland, Astria. There is a Black Monolith there as well."
Victoria, who had been listening quietly, chimed in.
"Astria is quite far. Even though it shares a border with the Empire, we're deep inland."
"Yes. But there's a place we must stop by first."
Kerry froze at Lina's next words.
"Scandinavia, the village of the elves. There is someone there I must meet."
"..."
Is this a dream? Or is this real life?
"...Scandinavia, the village of the elves? Is that really our next destination?"
"Yes."
YOLO!!!
Kerry had heard about it often during his time as an adventurer.
Elves! One of the fantasy races, right up there with succubi! And the name of the village where they all lived together was Scandinavia.
Elves. A village where the elves, a race said to be the pinnacle of beauty, lived together. Life is YOLO!
He'd heard that elven society was extremely reclusive, and that no human had ever set foot in Scandinavia.
But with our Regressor, we'd surely be able to get in. I'm so glad I hitched a ride on the Regressor bus!
Just then, he heard something unbelievable. For a moment, he couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm against going to Scandinavia!"
"I am against it as well. There is no reason to go all that way just because you want to meet someone."
No way. The ones trying to ruin my YOLO moment are Victoria and Natasha? Is today's enemy yesterday's ally?
Anyone who gets in the way of a man's fantasy deserves divine punishment. With my dick, of course!
"Scandinavia is on the way to Astria anyway," Lina explained. "Besides, if we can meet this person, they will surely be a great help on our journey."
"..."
"I'm all for it! We're going for the sake of world peace! To the village of the elves! To Scandinavia!"
"I really don't think we should go, Husband! I have a bad feeling! The elves might try to flirt with you!"
"Tsk. Look at Kerry, all excited."
The party bickered for a while about whether to go or not, but in the end, it was decided they would head to the elven village.
More importantly, who is this person Lina wants to meet? It's probably one of her companions from her past life.
An elf companion! Having an elf companion is the ultimate privilege of a hero. Damn right!
The party decided to take a short personal break before departing for Scandinavia.
It was quite a long way. Thorough preparation was necessary.
Kerry told Lina he would go prepare for the journey. Such preparations were always his job.
Lina thanked him, as she always did.
"I want to go with you, Husband!"
"No, you can't. We don't have much time, so I'm just going to buy exactly what we need and come right back. You wait here quietly, Natasha."
Natasha made a pitiful, disappointed face, but it couldn't be helped.
Kerry had something he needed to do.
Out on the street, supposedly to shop, Kerry grinned. The Saintess appeared from an alleyway.
"Wh-what are you planning to do, calling me out here alone?"
"What do you think I called you for, Saintess? Hehehe."
The party paid a lot of attention to Kerry, but they didn't really interfere with the Saintess, so it wasn't hard for them to meet.
Besides, it's always good to have a porter when you go shopping.
"B-but... don't we have to hurry? The Hero said we're leaving in an hour. I don't know what kind of lewd things you're planning, but we're short on time even for shopping, aren't we?"
"That's true. But there's more than enough time for a little fun, Saintess."
"Don't!"
Kerry and the Saintess ducked deeper into the secluded alley, hiding themselves from view.
The Saintess had no choice but to do as Kerry commanded. Not as long as the Star of Bondage was around her neck.
"Don't tell me... you're going to do it here? This is an alleyway! What if someone sees us?"
"Don't worry, Saintess. I'm not planning on having sex with you right now. I'm a man of principles."
"You... have principles?"
[Beep—Defiance toward Master has been detected. Commencing punishment!]
"Haah!"
The Saintess collapsed, clutching her legs together. She was wearing a short skirt, and the sight was quite arousing.
But as she said, now wasn't the time for fucking. He really hadn't called her here for sex.
"We have to go, but there's time for a sip of breast milk, isn't there?"
"What?"
He rarely got a chance to drink her milk away from the others. He had to take it when he could.
"Come here, Saintess."
Kerry patted his lap. Moaning, the Saintess sat down on his knees.
"Are you really going to do that here? You're insane! You're completely insane! Haaah!"
[Beep—Defiance toward Master has been detected. Commencing punishment!]
"You'd better get used to me quickly."
The Saintess was wearing a top that left her shoulders bare.
Thankfully, she'd worn something easy to take off.
Kerry yanked her top down.
He had no idea how many times he'd wanted to pull down that top whenever he saw her cleavage jiggle.
"Haaah! I-I told you not to! How is this in any way principled?"
Her top came off. Her breasts bounced, revealing their magnificent size.
Kerry unhooked her bra in one swift motion.
The Saintess's milky-white breasts and pink nipples were exposed.
Kerry glanced down the alley. No one was there. Someone could come by, but the thrill of it was actually enjoyable.
The Saintess covered her breasts with her hands as if to say no.
"Move your hands, Saintess."
"Please... Haaah!"
Only then did her beautiful breasts fill his vision. They were perky and huge, like a cow's.
And just like a cow, they even produced milk. Awesome.
"Saintess, it can't be helped. If you don't have your milk drawn periodically, you'll be in pain."
"!"
This was official information he'd gotten from the Sage.
Hearing this, the Saintess began to cry, tears streaming down her face as if she were filled with self-loathing.
"That's... that's just like a cow. To think I have to be milked... It's too much... It's too much... Sob... sob..."
"And for the record, you are forbidden from drawing your own milk behind my back. That's an order."
['Kerry's Personal Cock-Sleeve' acknowledges the command.]
Even as she cried, her nipples were erect, perhaps because of the punishment.
Kerry took a large mouthful of her breast. He could feel her hard nipple against his tongue.
He began to suckle greedily.
Sluuurp! Slurp, slurp!
"Haaah! Hieeut! No... don't drink it! My milk! Haaaang!"
The moment he started sucking, her milk came gushing out.
It felt like everything that had built up was being released at once. The clean, sweet taste that filled his mouth was exquisite.
This is seriously addictive.
Kerry's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed. The Saintess, whose body had become incredibly sensitive, moaned as her face turned red.
"Haaah... Heuuuh... Stop... drinking! You're not a baby, don't drink breast milk!"
Waaah. Not a chance. He'd even eaten a small breakfast just so he could drink her milk.
"Kuh! Saintess, your milk is delicious! I bet this would sell well."
"Don't sell my milk... Hnngh, sob..."
"Hey now, it was just a joke, Saintess. Why would I sell something too precious to even share?"
Was she relieved that he wouldn't sell her milk?
The Saintess calmed down a little. She must have really thought he would sell it.
Kerry grabbed her other breast.
"Hieet!"
"I drank from the left one. Now I have to drink from the right. It's only fair."
"It doesn't have to be fair... Haaah!"
Kerry began to suckle her right breast. The large, soft mound pressed against his entire face.
The taste of the milk coming from that soft breast was fantastic. He could seriously drink this every day.
Sluuurp! Sluuuuurp!
Kerry sucked with all his might. The Saintess's breast was drawn deep into his mouth.
"Haaah! Don't suck so hard! Hieeet! You'll ruin my breasts!"
"They won't get ruined from this. Sluuurp!"
Of the hour they had to spare, Kerry spent a full thirty minutes drinking her milk.
[Your Divine Power has increased by 1!]
The pleasant message was a bonus.
"Buurp. That was a good meal."
His stomach felt nice and full, right from the morning.
*
Kerry returned to the inn after his shopping trip. The rest of the party was already outside waiting for him.
"Kerry? You came back with the Saintess."
"Yes. I ran into her while I was shopping. Haha. And since we met, the Saintess was kind enough to help me with the groceries."
In Kerry's hand was a single, light-looking shopping basket.
The Saintess, on the other hand, was laden with heavy-looking baskets hanging from both arms.
"...I see. Well, let's get going."
"Hmph. Husband, how come you let the Saintess go with you but not me?"
"Because you always make things difficult, asking me to buy this and that."
"But everything is new to me, so of course I'm curious! You're so mean!"
Lina had already prepared a carriage.
The Saintess carefully loaded the heavy-looking baskets into the carriage's trunk.
Afterward, she shot a glare at Kerry. It seemed her re-education was still incomplete.
Especially since a message announcing that punishment was commencing appeared right after.
"Well then, let's get going. To the village of the elves."
"You're just thrilled, aren't you, Kerry?"
"How could I not be? That village is the dream of every adventurer."
"But on second thought, I don't think I need to stop you."
"Why is that?"
"Because there's no way those reclusive elves will let us in. It's obvious you and Lina are just stubbornly leading us on a wild goose chase. Hehe."
Victoria only said that because she didn't know Lina was a regressor.
If it was Lina, she must have had a way, or she wouldn't have suggested it.
Kerry decided to let Victoria think what she wanted.
It was a long way to Scandinavia. Kerry urged the driver on.
"A little faster, please, sir!"
YOLO awaits!
"Right away, young master."
The carriage carrying Lina's party began to move.
