“We’re all going to die together!”
It was when Barickmeteo was about to throw himself at the black stele.
The Saint chanted a spell.
“Light’s Judgment!”
A sword of light descended from the sky, piercing Barickmeteo’s limbs.
“Kyaaah!”
“You have to finish things properly, Hero. Don’t you agree?”
Barickmeteo, impaled by the sword of light, let out a dying cry. Barickmeteo muttered to himself until the very end.
Asking for mercy. Saying he only wanted to live well.
Anyway, this unfair other world was problematic for this reason.
What if I hadn’t met Lina?
Even if I had been captured by those bandits and suffered harsh treatment, could I have told Barickmeteo not to cross the line?
Honestly, I wasn’t sure.
Regardless, that scoundrel deserved to die anyway.
Barickmeteo appeared dead, impaled by the sword of light.
But the Saint, as if it wasn’t over, chanted a spell.
“Purification!”
Barickmeteo’s body began to disintegrate into light.
It felt somewhat anticlimactic that the one who had given them so much trouble was caught so easily.
That was it. There was no other particular sentiment. In the first place, if he hadn’t had wings, he would have been caught much earlier.
Lina nodded, watching Barickmeteo die.
As long as the Saint was present, there was no need to worry about him resurrecting.
“Now, only this remains.”
The massive black pillar before Lina’s party.
Lina called it the black stele.
“Lina. What exactly is the black stele?”
Lina hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
“The black stele…is the core of their plan. It’s a device embedded in the earth’s ley lines to absorb energy. The land where it is embedded slowly dies.”
Kerry looked at the ground around the black stele.
The ground was black and decaying. It certainly looked like a bad object.
Lina slashed the black stele.
Surprisingly, the black stele was easily cut. Though he didn’t know if it was easy because it was Lina.
Lina asked the Saint to purify the black stele. The purified black stele turned into dust and vanished.
“So, now that we’ve destroyed the black stele, are their plans finished?”
“No. Black steles are still embedded across the continent. I haven’t confirmed the exact number, but…I know one thing for sure.”
“…”
“The black steles resonate with each other, and if three or more are destroyed, they can no longer absorb the energy of the ley lines.”
This meant they had to destroy two more just like this one.
And there were probably guardians protecting them, like Barickmeteo.
He had a general idea of the scale now.
He didn’t know what they intended to do with the black steles, but if they weren’t stopped, a great war, like the one Lina saw in her dreams, would likely break out.
That wouldn’t do.
If a war of that scale occurred, there would be no safe place on the continent.
No wonder the Goddess sent a hero.
Natasha approached Kerry.
“Hehe!”
Now that the job was done, she licked Kerry’s face, as if asking to play.
Lick!
“That tickles, Natasha.”
Lick!
“Stop it. Oh, stop it.”
Then Natasha opened her mouth.
“Ke…rry! Hehe!”
“!”
What? Did Natasha just speak?
“
Natasha? Are you back to your senses?”
“Ke…rry! Good…!”
Lick!
“….”
Natasha spoke. But it didn’t seem like she was fully back to her senses. As expected, our Natasha was a genius!
Lina’s party also gathered, surprised by Natasha’s behavior.
“Did Natasha just speak?”
“Natasha. It’s grandma! Try calling me grandma!”
“Natasha. It’s Victoria. Do you recognize me?”
The Saint stood a little apart, just watching.
She didn’t seem to quite understand what was happening. It was understandable.
“Grrr-”
But perhaps the party got too close?
Natasha was busy growling. She was simply too busy being wary of women approaching Kerry.
Lina was surprised.
This side of Natasha was something she had never seen, even in her past life.
In fact, it was the first time she had seen a berserk Natasha obey someone else at all.
Kerry’s obedience training seemed to be incredibly effective. As expected of Kerry.
Kerry became curious.
If she could say Kerry’s name, could she be taught other people’s names?
“Natasha. Do you know other people’s names besides mine? This person is Lina. Li. Na. Can you say that?”
Natasha mumbled a bit, then said,
“Li…na!”
“Good girl! Our Natasha is a genius after all!”
“Hehe!”
Natasha immediately looked happy from the praise. Lina also seemed pleased, her lips curving upwards.
But it was only for a moment.
“Li…na…bad!”
“!”
No. Why? Our Lina is so kind!
For a moment, seeing Lina’s shocked expression, I felt apologetic myself.
“Natasha. Lina isn’t bad.”
Despite Kerry’s words, Natasha shook her head, denying it. Had she learned to shake her head now too?
Lina fell into despair for a moment. Natasha saying she was bad was quite shocking.
But Lina, as if she couldn’t die alone, clung to Victoria.
“Victoria…how about Victoria, Natasha?”
Victoria’s name was a bit long. Could she say it properly?
“Vic…toria!”
“Oh. You said my name! Natasha.”
Victoria beamed.
She seemed strangely confident, perhaps because of her status as a sex friend.
But Natasha was cold-hearted.
“Vic…to…ria! Bad!”
“Why?! Me too? Didn’t we get along well last time? Don’t you remember?”
Lina seemed to find some solace in not being the only one called bad and smiled.
“Natasha. Grandma?”
“Grand…ma!”
Natasha seemed to ponder deeply. But then, as if having made up her mind, she said,
“Grand…ma. Bad!”
“Granddaughter. Raising you was useless…Tsk.”
Now, only the Saint remained.
The Saint was standing a little apart from the group, looking sullen, but it felt wrong not to include her.
“Natasha. How about the Saint?”
“?”
Natasha tilted her head, as if seeing the Saint for the first time. Was it because she was new?
“Hmph. Perhaps she surprisingly likes me? Well, my beauty often makes even women fall for me…”
It was when the Saint, confident from Natasha’s strange attitude, approached. Natasha growled, as if telling her not to come closer.
“Grrr! Grrr!”
“….”
“Sa…int…hate…!”
“!”
Following “bad,” the word “hate” came out. The triumphant Saint looked awkward and retreated to her spot.
The party members who had been called “bad” felt a little relieved.
Why did Natasha call everyone in the party “bad” and say she hated them?
Did he raise her wrong? I wanted to raise her to be a good Natasha.
But he realized that there was no problem with her upbringing from Natasha’s next words.
“Kerry…good…! Kerry…mine…!”
See? There was no way there was a problem with her upbringing.
Natasha simply wanted Kerry all to herself.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
Barickmeteo was dead, and the black stele was destroyed. Now, there was nothing left to do in the Forest of Dreams.
Except for one thing.
“Now we need to find Barickmeteo’s hidden treasures.”
“Well, rather than treasures, it would be better to eliminate them as quickly as possible…”
This was the problem with their Hero. She was too ungreedy!
It wouldn’t be surprising for someone of Barickmeteo’s stature to possess considerable treasure.
He seemed like a greedy fellow.
“There might even be useful clues at his base. It wouldn’t hurt to check.”
After defeating an enemy, it was the adventurer’s natural right to claim the spoils!
There could be no conquest without profit.
“….Yes. If Kerry insists that much, then alright.”
The party split up to search for Barickmeteo’s base. Going alone was dangerous, so they paired up in threes.
Actually, pairing up in twos was the most efficient, but Victoria insisted on following Natasha and Kerry, so there was no choice.
Looking at Victoria’s lewd eyes, it was obvious what she was aiming for.
This horny noblewoman!
Anyway, Victoria, Natasha, and Kerry searched the forest. She thought Kerry would probably find Barickmeteo’s base fastest.
Why? Because Kerry had tracking magic.
Kerry continuously used tracking magic to search the forest from the moment they started. Treasure awaited!
“Kerry. Did you find any clues?”
“No, not yet….More importantly, please take your hand off my butt, Victoria.”
“What’s wrong? There’s no one watching.”
“Why isn’t there anyone watching? Natasha is watching.”
Victoria ceaselessly fondled Kerry’s butt.
Kerry had explicitly stated that sex would only happen after they found the treasure.
Natasha quietly held Kerry’s hand and walked.
Even Natasha, who had been quietly holding his hand, subtly started touching Kerry’s butt.
“Look at this! Natasha is learning by example, isn’t she? And our Natasha learns so quickly!”
“Heh heh. What’s wrong with learning good things? Well done, Natasha.”
“Hehe!”
Kerry shook his head.
It was difficult to concentrate with two women fondling his butt.
But he had to endure.
If he had sex before finding Barickmeteo’s treasures, it was obvious he’d spend the whole day having sex and never find any treasure.
This was the Forest of Dreams, filled with thick fog. Without the Saint’s buff, their minds would be eroded by the curse.
The Saint’s buff lasted for about half a day. It would be good if they could find it within that time.
Kerry continued to search the surroundings, deploying tracking magic.
He scanned for any suspicious places.
Since the area was inherently foggy, visibility was short. Meaning tracking magic was much more efficient.
But that didn’t excuse Natasha and Victoria from not searching the surroundings and only caressing Kerry’s butt.
“…Focus on searching, Victoria.”
“I am searching diligently, why are you complaining?”
“All you’re searching is my butt.”
“Still, I’m not touching your front, am I? Forgive me this much.”
“Hehe!”
As expected, they didn’t listen to him. Kerry gave up and resolved to search alone.
How long had they wandered through the forest?
Finally, tracking magic detected a suspicious spot. The shape of the returning wave appeared in his mind.
“A cave…? It’s quite large.”
This was a forest where no proper buildings were visible, not since the abandoned house they found.
So, perhaps Barickmeteo had lived in a cave?
Seeing him live in such a gloomy forest, the possibility of him living in a cave seemed high enough.
“Did you find anything?”
“There’s a cave.”
“A cave, huh? A good place to have sex.”
“Hehe!”
“…As I said before, doing our job comes first.”
Kerry followed the tracking magic to the location of the cave.
A large cave, big enough for Barickmeteo to enter, was visible.
Entering the dark cave, all he saw was a pile of straw that seemed to be used as a bed.
Judging by the imprints, the size felt similar to Barickmeteo.
“I don’t see the treasure of Barickmeteo you mentioned. Is this the right place?”
“Well, I don’t know either.”
But the cave did seem to have a scent similar to his.
Other than the pile of straw used as a bed, nothing else was visible in the cave. This bastard. He lived so simply.
Was there no treasure?
He seemed like a greedy fellow, so he thought he would have accumulated quite a bit of treasure. Was it possible he wasn’t greedy for treasure after all?
But it was still too early to give up.
Kerry lifted the pile of straw. There was nowhere else to search. Be there. Please!
Then, in a corner of the straw pile, something hard clunked as he grabbed it. Kerry lifted it.
“This is…a treasure chest!”
“Oh. You found something interesting.”
Wasn’t a treasure chest the romance of an adventurer?!
Victoria hugged the delighted Kerry from behind. She secretly fondled his penis as she hugged him from behind.
Natasha didn’t just watch. She mimicked Victoria, joining in to touch Kerry’s penis. This woman really teaches good things!
Kerry suppressed his aroused penis and opened the chest.
“Please be gold! Or at least silver!”
If it was filled with gold or silver coins, it would definitely be a jackpot.
“Just open it quickly.”
Kerry, perhaps frustrated that he was opening the lid with narrowed eyes, had Victoria fling it wide open.
Inside…it was indeed filled with gold coins!
“Jackpot!”
“This will be quite a bit of money.”
Even to Victoria, who was a successor to a territory, it was a considerable amount of gold coins.
Natasha didn’t know what it was, but she celebrated along with Kerry when he was happy.
“Phew. With this, our fortune has turned.”
They were a party of six. So, should they divide it into six portions? But the Saint’s share was as good as his own. Not bad.
“Kerry. If you like money so much, when our journey ends, let’s live together in my territory. I’ll let you eat and spend as much as you want.”
“Thank you for the offer, even if it’s just words.”
But still, his own money was better than someone else’s, and it felt more comfortable to spend.
It was when Kerry grabbed a handful of gold coins from the treasure chest.
Something else was visible beneath the gold coins. It was an orb! A magic storage orb. The important thing was the orb’s grade!
If Barickmeteo kept it with gold coins, it had to be a pretty high grade.
“Kerry. This is similar to the orbs you’re carrying.”
“Yes. It’s probably the same kind of object.”
Please. Just be Hero-grade or higher. Kerry used the Eye of the Goddess on the orb in his hand.
