Chapter 38: Magic City(1)[R-18]
Chapter 38: Magic City(1)[R-18]
Kerry and Victoria were still in the banquet hall. Lina was in a corner, quietly enjoying the festivities by herself.
Many people tried to strike up a conversation, but she could never quite get used to such a boisterous atmosphere.
It was more comfortable for Lina to simply watch from a distance.
She gently swirled the wine in her glass. Her own bitter expression was reflected on its shimmering surface.
Even though I managed to prevent Victoria and her family from being massacred…
Lina had achieved her greatest goal. She couldn't count how many times she'd run herself ragged trying to prevent any deaths among the knights and commoners.
It was an achievement only possible for someone of her caliber.
Everyone else was praising her, hailing her as a hero. But Lina wasn't satisfied.
In the end, she hadn't been able to get close to Victoria, her comrade from her past life.
Should I be satisfied just because I saved her?
She was certainly glad to have prevented the horrific event that had changed her comrade's life, but her feelings were complicated.
More than anything, Lina needed Victoria's strength. She desperately needed Victoria's talent as a tank.
If only she could fight alongside Victoria like in her past life, she would feel so much more secure.
Thinking about all the things she still had to accomplish filled her with endless worry. Just as Lina was taking a bitter sip of wine, Kerry approached her.
"Lina. Is something wrong?"
"..."
Had she failed to hide her expression?
No, Kerry always seemed to know what was on her mind, as if he could read her thoughts.
"It's a festival, but I suppose my face was too grim."
"It's not that obvious."
"And yet you seem to see right through me, Kerry."
Of course he could. With the Goddess's Eye.
"Well, I'm sure you have your own worries, Lina. You're a thoughtful person, so I won't pry."
It was a regressor's business, after all. There was no way she could talk about the future.
But that didn't mean Kerry had no way of brightening her expression.
The reason for Lina's gloom was obvious, and Kerry held the solution.
He took a sip of wine and spoke.
"Actually... there's something I wanted to ask of you."
"A request from you, Kerry? If it's something I can do, I will do everything in my power to help."
As expected of our reliable regressor.
"It's nothing much... I want to recruit Victoria into our party."
"What? Her?"
Lina's eyes widened. It was as if Kerry knew exactly where she itched and had just scratched it for her.
Was it really this easy to recruit Victoria?
"A lot happened while Victoria and I were stranded together. Before we came here, we met an old man living with ghouls, and seeing that seemed to make a deep impression on her."
This was true. Victoria had trembled with rage at the old man's fate, seething at the enemy's cruelty.
She had said that she and all the residents of the castle could have easily met the same end.
"Given her personality... I can see why she would be angry."
"To be precise, it wasn't so much anger as it was an inability to tolerate such inhuman beings."
Lina nodded. That sounded just like Victoria. This was a stroke of luck.
She had all but given up on Victoria joining them, but now there was hope.
In a rare show of excitement, Lina grabbed Kerry's hands.
"Kerry, I'm counting on you. If she joins us, she'll be a huge help!"
She grasped his hands with such passion it was almost overwhelming. Her reaction was stronger than he'd expected.
Kerry smiled in satisfaction. The party finally had a tank. He was now that much safer.

Later, after Kerry and Victoria had left the banquet hall.
They made their way to her bedroom. Of course, Kerry couldn't enter with her, so he hid elsewhere.
Victoria spoke to the maids who were tidying the room.
"I shall retire early tonight. All of you, leave. And do not let anyone near my chambers. It's distracting."
The maids scurried out of the bedroom. Once Victoria confirmed they were all gone, she called for Kerry in a whisper.
"Kerry. Where are you?"
"Right here."
Kerry appeared from the garden outside the window. Victoria opened it for him.
A noble's bedroom was truly something else.
Even to Kerry's modern eyes, the antique furniture and beautiful paintings gave it the feel of a luxury hotel. Most importantly, the bed was huge.
The moment Kerry was inside, Victoria showered him with kisses.
Slurp— Slurp—
"Don't even think about sleeping tonight."
Kerry and Victoria threw themselves onto the bed. They tore at each other's clothes in a frenzy.
Victoria's body was beautiful, no matter how many times he saw it.
She usually wore loose-fitting clothes, but underneath she possessed an incredibly lewd figure.
Kerry kissed Victoria while kneading her breasts. He squeezed them as he pleased, then tugged on her nipples, drawing a moan from her lips.
But she didn't resist.
Victoria was now ready to accept anything Kerry did to her.
"Hah, ngh! Slurp!"
Just as he was caressing her pussy, a soft knock, knock came from the door.
Victoria didn't grant permission to enter. Instead, she called out.
"Who is it?"
"...My apologies for disturbing your rest, Lady Victoria! But I have an urgent matter to report. Tomorrow morning..."
"I have just returned from a long journey and I am exhausted. I will hear it tomorrow."
"It's just that there is a meeting tomorrow morning... They said many difficult issues arose in your absence. The elders have requested that you be sure to attend."
"Tsk. Are you saying they can't do anything without me? How pathetic... hngh."
Victoria trailed off, biting her lip. She couldn't help it.
A playful look on his face, Kerry had begun to fondle her pussy and breasts.
His fingers pushed wantonly into her cunt. He squeezed her breasts roughly.
And a maid was standing right outside the door!
The thrill of it only made Victoria more excited.
"...F-Fine... I understand... I will... definitely... attend the meeting tomorrow morning... Hngh!"
"Lady Victoria? Are you unwell? May I come in?"
"N-No, you may not!"
Amidst the chaos, Kerry diligently worked her pussy. Victoria's reaction was new and amusing. And why was she getting so wet?
"I am not... unwell. You may... withdraw. I am tired."
"Yes, Lady Victoria."
"And under no circumstances... are you to wake me... Be sure to tell the other maids as well! Haaa..."
"Yes!"
Only after hearing the maid's footsteps fade away did Victoria glare at Kerry, pouting.
"Kerry! How could you touch me like that then? I almost let out a moan!"
"That's what makes it fun."
"You tease!"
Kerry and Victoria began to tumble on the bed like animals again. Her pussy had been drenched for some time now.
Victoria's body was still burning with arousal. She climbed on top of Kerry, took his cock, and pushed it inside her.
Kerry's large cock always brought a sense of fullness whenever it entered her.
As Victoria began to move, a spectacular scene unfolded as her hips swayed with fluid grace and her breasts bounced.
"Hah, ngh! Haaah! Kerry! This feels so good!"
"Me too, Victoria."
"Tonight... hngh! Tonight is a day you can finish inside me! Haaah! As much as you want! Come inside me!"
"I won't... hold back!"
Kerry thrust his cock deep, as if intending to shoot his load into her very core. Victoria gladly accepted him.
Suddenly, Kerry remembered his conversation with Lina. He spoke while thrusting upwards.
"Victoria. You said before that you wanted to join our party."
"Yes... Haaah!"
Was that an answer? He decided to continue.
"I asked Lina about it, and she was thrilled. She seemed very happy to have you with us."
"Is... is that so? Hnngh! I'm glad! Well... I am an exceptional talent, after all."
"The truth is, you don't really want to kill those bastards, you just want to keep doing this with me, don't you?"
"Hehe. I can't say that's not part of the reason. Haaah! It's hard to talk when you thrust up so hard... Haaaah! And... it is also true that I cannot forgive those bastards."
"Stop making excuses and just admit you love my cock."
"Th-That's too embarrassing... Hnngh! Kerry! Fill me up completely tonight! Do whatever you want!"
"I was planning on it."
Kerry pushed Victoria onto her back. He lifted her hips and slammed his cock down into her from above.
"Haaah! Your cock is so deep... inside me!"
"I'm coming, Victoria!"
"Hnngh!"
With his cock buried deep inside her pussy, Kerry began to cum.
Victoria felt a warm liquid filling her womb.
After ejaculating for a while, Kerry pulled out and rolled off her.
Victoria panted, looking satisfied, as white semen dripped from her pussy.
*
Several days passed.
Even Lina, who usually kept a tight schedule, took a few days off to allow Kerry and Victoria to rest.
And now, the journey to their next destination was finally beginning.
Early in the morning, a magnificent carriage awaited Lina's party in front of the castle.
"Isn't this a bit too flashy?"
"The Belarus family has a reputation to uphold. This is the least we should be traveling in, wouldn't you say?"
"We'll have to change carriages eventually anyway."
"Then we shall simply ride in fine carriages each time."
It must be nice to be rich.
A reliable tank and a sponsor had joined the party. As Kerry and Victoria approached the carriage, Lina, who had been waiting, stepped out.
"Lady Victoria. I sincerely welcome you to our party. I was moved by your profound sense of justice, a true example for all nobles."
Victoria, who had followed along half because she loved Kerry's cock, cleared her throat, embarrassed.
"Thank you for the welcome, Lina. I will do my best not to be a burden to the party."
"Of course, Lady Victoria."
The entire party boarded the carriage, which was adorned with a pattern of ornate, thorny roses.
The moment they were inside, Natasha clung to Kerry, glaring at Victoria.
Fortunately, Victoria displayed her noble grace and elegantly extended a hand to Natasha.
"It's a pleasure to be working with you, Natasha."
"..."
Natasha reluctantly took her hand, but she seemed incredibly tense at the appearance of a new rival for his affection.
"Well, well... looks like we've got a high-and-mighty one with us now. Still, thanks to her, our journey might be a bit more comfortable from now on."
The old woman seemed to welcome Victoria. With money, their arduous journey might become a little easier.
Victoria greeted the old woman as well and took a seat. The carriage was so large that it didn't feel cramped even with so many people.
"By the way, Victoria. I heard there was an uproar among the nobles when they heard you were leaving the castle... Is it really alright for you to leave like this?"
With the head of the house also absent, Victoria was the highest authority in the castle.
"They were being a nuisance this morning, begging me not to go. I was just on my way here after knocking them all unconscious."
"..."
So that's why Victoria's loyal retainers were nowhere to be seen. What a terrifying woman.
"Then let's depart. It will be a pain if they wake up."
Victoria told the coachman to leave, and the carriage began to move.
"I'm curious, though. Where is our next destination that we're in such a hurry?"
"It seems Kerry hasn't told you. Our next destination is the Magic City."
"The Magic City? You mean Viln? I've always wanted to go there if I ever went on an adventure! But what's our business there? Are those bastards connected to the Magic City?"
"According to information Kerry found, their base is in an abandoned mine. The closest one is near the Magic City."
"Ah, the information Kerry got from that old man. So that's why he was so persistent with his questions."
Lina searched her memory. Even she didn't know all of the organization's hideouts.
But based on her memories from her past life, there was a high probability that they had a base there.
"It's not too far, so we should arrive soon."
Inside the carriage, Kerry pretended to be nonchalant, but inwardly, he was as excited as a child.
Magic was his fantasy.
More importantly, he might be able to get a higher-grade magic orb than the one he currently had.
