“Elise! Elise has returned alive! Old man!”
“Ah…”
The innkeeper ran out in a hurry. Judging by his appearance, it seemed they were quite close.
But could a dead person truly return?
Lina’s group rose from their seats with somber expressions.
“Let’s follow him. We might be able to find a clue about them.”
At Lina’s words, the group chased after the innkeeper.
They saw a place bustling with villagers, a sight rarely seen in the village.
The innkeeper was there.
“Elise! Elise! Your foolish father is here!”
The innkeeper cried out.
It seemed Elise was the innkeeper’s daughter. As if having heard the innkeeper’s voice, the gathered crowd parted.
In the middle of the parted crowd was a tomboyish girl with freckles.
“Dad? Dad! Waaah! Daaad…”
“Yes. Elise. My daughter… Where have you been all this time! You rascal! Sob, sob. No, it’s alright. It’s alright. You’ve come back alive, that’s all that matters.”
“I’m sorry…Waaah…I’m sorry. I’m sorry for going into the forest without listening to you.”
People wiped away tears as they watched the scene.
Kerry made eye contact with Lina. Lina gave Kerry a small nod and stepped forward.
“Excuse me, but…would it be alright if we examined your daughter for a moment?”
“Who…Ah, it’s you, isn’t it? But why my daughter…?”
Perhaps it was because he had just found his daughter.
The innkeeper hugged his daughter tightly, his eyes full of caution. It was as if he was afraid she would be taken away.
Then, the old woman stepped forward.
“I am a shaman, but I’m also quite knowledgeable in medicine. Show me your daughter. I’ll check if she’s healthy.”
In the Middle Ages, medical skills were top-notch. Only then did the innkeeper, seemingly relieved, show Elise to the group.
The old woman examined Elise thoroughly.
Lina also took the opportunity to approach Elise. And then she examined the Goddess’s Ring.
If Elise were something other than human, the Goddess’s Ring would react.
Lina was almost certain that Elise was a trap set by them. But it wasn’t.
‘The Goddess’s Ring isn’t reacting?’
It was the Goddess’s Ring that had informed her of the presence of evil when they entered the village. It was still emitting that faint light.
But if Elise wasn’t human, the Goddess’s Ring should have shone brighter than before, yet there was no change.
‘Could there be some other trick?’
Lina grabbed Elise’s wrist.
The innkeeper worriedly asked what was happening, but Lina didn’t stop.
Lina channeled mana into Elise’s wrist. The mana circulated throughout Elise’s body, meticulously examining her.
If there were any other magic or curses cast on her, Lina would immediately notice.
“It’s alright…Your daughter is healthy.”
Of course, Kerry had already checked Elise with the Goddess’s Eyes and knew she was normal. He was simply waiting for Lina to confirm.
“Thank you. Adventurers. Please come back to the inn. You haven’t finished your meal…”
They returned to the inn with the innkeeper and Elise. Slightly cooled food sat on the table.
The innkeeper apologized and offered to bring out the food again, but they had already eaten their fill.
There was something more urgent.
“Sir. I asked you this before, but…I’ll ask again. The village rumor about the dead returning… What exactly is that rumor?”
The innkeeper smiled bitterly. But perhaps it was out of gratitude for the group who had taken care of his daughter.
He began to speak, as if he couldn’t help it.
“Actually, it’s taboo to speak about this rumor to outsiders. People have already stopped coming because of the unsettling rumor, so it would be troublesome if it spreads further.”
“It’s alright. We won’t tell anyone.”
“To explain it briefly, it’s just as you saw. My daughter went missing in the forest a month ago. But she has returned alive like this.”
“Missing in the forest a month ago?”
“When she came here, I asked my daughter what had happened, but she couldn’t remember.
Like Elise, all those who have returned from being missing have no memory. It’s strange, considering they returned suddenly, isn’t it?”
“…”
It was a suspicious story. Missing persons returning to the village with no memory.
Moreover, there were monsters in the forest. Wild animals too.
It wasn’t a place where one could survive for a whole month by luck alone.
In addition, the disappearances and returns of villagers were repeating. What was the reason for their safe return?
He heard more from the innkeeper, but there was nothing much to take note of.
Lina had a worried expression.
“I have something to investigate, so I’ll excuse myself first. Please get some rest. We don’t know when a battle might occur.”
Lina left after saying those words.
The old woman also got up, saying,
“Before you rest, could you gather some herbs for me, son-in-law?”
“Herbs?”
“Elise returned healthy, but she’s a bit weak, so I thought I’d make her some medicine. The herbs are at the entrance of the village.”
“Yes, I understand.”
If he returned to his room now, there would be no escaping Natasha and Victoria’s lewd clutches.
Of course, it wasn’t that he disliked it, but he needed some rest after being tormented so much last night.
“Then I’ll be going.”
“Hee hee.”
Natasha stuck close beside him as well. Natasha alone was fine. She listened to him well.
But then Victoria smiled slyly.
“I shall accompany you. I’m bored as well.”
“With the three of us, we can gather herbs faster. Unexpectedly. To think a noble lady would do such a thing.”
Surely, Victoria wasn’t thinking about gathering herbs, but about having sex outdoors! This lewd noble!
But even knowing that, there was no way to avoid it. He was cornered.
In the end, the three of them came to the village entrance to gather herbs. Looking around the entrance, he saw the herbs the old woman had mentioned in the distance.
“Huhu. No one’s around, are they? People don’t usually wander around this village… Hufufu…”
“Victoria…”
“Hee hee!”
“It seems Natasha has also sensed the atmosphere. Cute girl.”
“…”
Even he found it difficult to handle two people, Victoria, the lewd superwoman, and Natasha, without rest.
But due to his male pride, he didn’t want to ask for a break.
“….Let’s gather the herbs first.”
“Yes. It wouldn’t be bad to do it while gathering herbs.”
Let’s just gather the herbs.
Kerry showed Victoria which herbs to pick. Although she was a noble, Victoria picked the herbs without complaint.
It would have been better if she hadn’t kept glancing at him with lewd eyes.
“Natasha. Can you pick herbs?”
“?”
Natasha, as expected, didn’t understand. But after watching him and Victoria, she started to imitate them.
Although she pulled out all the weeds along with the herbs… Still, she did well. He should praise her.
“Good job, Natasha.”
“Hee hee!”
“I picked herbs too, so why don’t you praise me?”
“….Good job, Victoria, too.”
“Hmph. Then give me a reward now.”
Victoria checked that no one was around and tried to slip off her clothes.
Natasha, too, seemed to grasp the atmosphere remarkably well, and her eyes were about to change.
No. Let’s rest a little longer.
“We’ve gathered all the herbs, so we should go back now. Let’s go home.”
Kerry turned back to the inn, pretending not to have seen anything. Victoria clicked her tongue in disappointment, but she didn’t stop him.
Kerry returned safely to the inn without being pounced on.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Natasha’s consciousness, in its berserk state, was trapped beneath the surface. It was a space that brought a cozy feeling.
Then, there was a voice that clearly reached Natasha.
It was Kerry’s voice.
[Natasha. Good job. Keep doing it like this.]
[If you just listen to me, there won’t be any problems, Natasha.]
[You’re doing really well.]
Kerry’s voice continued. Natasha cried out continuously in her hazy consciousness.
‘I’ll listen to you, Master! Please keep praising me. I can listen to anything you say.’
After crying out like that, an enormous pleasure, as if a reward, swept over her entire body.
It was a dizzying orgasm, just like her first time with Master in the cave.
Natasha didn’t know it, but her body was actually having sex with Kerry, so it was natural.
But this time, she felt not only Kerry’s penis, but also another touch.
It was Victoria’s touch. The pleasure brought by Victoria’s touch and Kerry’s penis was tremendous.
It was a pleasure so intense that it made her dizzy.
[Natasha, just follow my words. Don’t follow anyone else’s.]
‘I have to listen to Master’s words. Then he’ll give me a reward.’
Natasha was gradually becoming addicted to the pleasure.
Although Natasha’s consciousness was deeply submerged beneath the surface, her obedience to Kerry was steadily building within her.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
It was after Kerry returned to the inn. He carried a basket full of herbs.
“Son-in-law, why did you gather so many herbs? Are you planning to open a hospital or something?”
“….More is better.”
It turned out that way because he had been stalling for time to avoid Victoria and Natasha’s lewd advances.
“Anyway, I’ll go and brew some medicine for that young lady, Elise. You all can rest or do as you please.”
“I’ll make sure I take good care of these two.”
Who was taking care of whom?
“Huhu. Then, with no one to watch us, we can enjoy ourselves to our heart’s content.”
“V-Victoria, we did enough last night…and it’s broad daylight now?”
“Well, so what? Did we care about day or night when we were stranded?”
The situation was different now. It was 2 vs 1 now.
Kerry was half-forced into the room. Natasha followed with an expectant look.
Then Natasha closed the door.
And she even checked the lock and locked the door. What? Could she have regained consciousness?
Click!
Seeing that, not only Kerry, but even Victoria seemed surprised.
“Natasha? Did you come to your senses?”
“?”
“It doesn’t seem like she’s fully back to normal… She even locked the door.”
“Even when we were gathering herbs earlier, she gradually avoided weeds and picked the herbs more accurately.”
“Was our Natasha a genius all along?!”
“Hee hee!”
“….Rather than a genius, isn’t her current state abnormal? You’re quite the doting husband, Kerry.”
Certainly, Natasha now seemed much smarter than when she first went berserk.
What she used to understand after being told three times, she now understood after just once.
Her learning speed was also getting faster, and it even felt like she occasionally understood complex words.
“Hmm. Does Natasha get smarter with training?”
He’d heard that dogs also get smarter as they interact with and are trained by their owners.
Of course, Natasha wasn’t a dog, but perhaps it was a similar case.
If she continued to develop like this, it might become possible to use Berserk Natasha more strategically.
“It seems we need to focus more on Natasha’s training.”
This would be better for Natasha as well.
No matter how strong she became in her berserk state, if she just charged recklessly, there would surely come a day when she would be seriously injured.
Yes, for Natasha’s sake, he had to train her now!
“Victoria. Let’s have fun a little later. We need to train Natasha right now. There’s not much time left before the berserk state ends.”
Of course, even now, Natasha was following his commands very well.
But there were times when she didn’t.
For example, when she showed hostility towards Lina or Victoria.
It was a little dangerous for Natasha to disobey him.
What could he do?
While Kerry was pondering, Victoria suggested a good idea.
As expected of Victoria, it was a very lewd suggestion.
