## Chapter 124 – D-Rank Adventurer Kim Kat
I embraced and held Grea Wienia close.
Her large breasts pressed against my breastplate, squashing against it. They were overwhelmingly bigger than Claudie’s, who was already considered busty. It almost felt like humanity’s dream was contained within them.
As I held her, I began to feel the warmth of her chest warming my cold breastplate.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who unified Japan during the warring states period filled with swords and blood, was originally a servant who fetched Oda Nobunaga’s sandals. He was promoted to Oda’s core retainer due to a bizarre anecdote: on a very cold winter day, Hideyoshi warmed his lord’s cold straw sandals with his chest, moving him deeply.
‘Are you crazy? What are you doing with my sandals?’
‘Breast-warming, no. I warmed them so that my lord’s feet wouldn’t be cold.’
‘Is that so!’
We might see Toyotomi Hideyoshi as just a son of a bitch who started the Imjin War, but we can’t deny that he was a man with a warm chest that could warm straw sandals.
Ultimately, he was able to unify Japan because his chest was warm.
“Are you calm now?”
After a while, I naturally released her.
I picked up the fallen hat and placed it on Wienia’s head. She was wiping away the faint tears with the back of her hand… She looked pitiful.
She was a powerful mage who could have roasted a hyper-shithead like me with a single spell, but now she looked like a fragile girl as small as her height.
She was probably younger than me, too.
That bitch.
“…”
Wienia, who was slowly calming down, looked up at me again.
More than her reddened eyes and flushed cheeks, I was more concerned with the cleavage beneath them. Her breasts were so large that I could see the blue veins inside her breasts.
Her open-shoulder robe revealed her collarbone and neckline, darkening my eyes. The line of her shoulders and the armpits revealed beneath them. And the breasts attached to them.
As I stared at them, Wienia reached out her hand.
“…Hand.”
“…”
…Is this bitch for real?
For a moment, I thought she was treating me like a dog, but her face said otherwise. She just wanted to hold hands. I squeezed my head, wondering how to explain and apologize to Claudie, and took her hand. It was smaller than I thought.
“…You don’t hate me, do you?”
Because I was wearing gauntlets, I couldn’t feel the warmth of her hand. Wienia cautiously asked me, sensing the coldness from my hand.
Hate, huh…
I still don’t know.
A person’s heart can’t be divided into two.
But it was true that I felt sorry for her.
“I don’t know.”
“What? Give me a proper answer!”
“Ah, ah! Don’t, don’t squeeze my hand! I don’t hate you! I don’t hate you!”
Suddenly, Wienia grabbed my hand as if she would crush it. Her grip was so strong that I thought my hand would twist. As I shook my hand in exaggerated pain, Wienia smiled.
She still enjoyed seeing me in pain as much as ever.
Is that just her natural personality?
“Kat. You said you were looking for party members, right?”
“Yeah. I should go look for them soon.”
I didn’t really have time to be doing this. I needed to sit in the guild and find a decent D-rank comrade (fun). And someone who could deploy tomorrow. I don’t even know if I can find someone even if I start now.
As the saying goes, starting is half the battle. Since it’s my first quest after my historic promotion, I need to get it right from the start. Good memories with good comrades. It would be good to get to know D-rank comrades in the future.
“Do it with me.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s do it together.”
I knew she would say that.
“No, what do you even know about it to want to do it?”
“Everything you do is just some shitty thing anyway. Let’s go together. You’ll need a mage for anything, right? I’ll go with you.”
“That’s true, but… well…”
With Claudie already there, having Wienia, a C-rank adventurer and mage, would make things extremely easy. She was a powerful magic dealer who could deal critical damage to a Cockatrice, let alone an Ogre.
She would wipe out Hobgoblins in one shot.
Mages are high-end manpower.
Low-level monsters can’t resist magic.
But 2 silver per day might be a bit short for Wienia…
As if cutting off my thoughts, Wienia tilted her head and said.
“So, are you going to do it or not?”
There was no way I could refuse.
Macho Kim Kat was very vulnerable to this kind of approach.
“Then come to the guild tomorrow morning.”
“Hehe. Okay.”
Wienia smiled, seeming happy, and turned around.
Looking back, it wasn’t that rare to see Wienia smile like that. Even though she always beat me up when we were together, she always smiled like that.
Back then, I thought, “That crazy bitch is smiling after hitting someone,” and I still think that way. Wienia is not normal. She’s beyond not normal, she’s almost a psychopath.
But Wienia was probably genuinely happy back then, too.
Looking at it this way, I could see it.
A woman’s heart is like a reed.
If Wienia hated me or didn’t care about me in the first place, she wouldn’t have come looking for me and acted like that. You could call it a twisted expression of affection… I still don’t know, but if I think about it that way, the things that happened back then make sense.
“Well, see you tomorrow. Come to the guild in the morning. Oh, by the way, the quest is to catch Hobgoblins, have you ever caught one? I haven’t.”
“Do you think I’m an idiot?”
“Yeah, right.”
She’s a higher rank than me.
I don’t know if she has more experience, but she knows more than I do.
Wienia, who was looking into my eyes, turned her head.
“Do you remember that inn we went to together last time?”
She spoke as if she was very embarrassed. The inn she was talking about was the luxurious inn we stopped at when we returned after catching the Ogre. I was impressed by the facilities. I live in a similar place now, though.
There, Wienia and I had a fierce affair that lasted 24 hours. I became the epitome of an abusive partner, violently pinning Wienia down and pouring out my pent-up anger inside her. I also handled Wienia’s breasts, which were overflowing in front of my eyes, as much as I wanted.
It’s an unforgettable memory.
Of course, she would be embarrassed to mention such a place. I was also blushing when I thought about what I had done back then. I think I said things I shouldn’t have said, caught up in the heightened emotions.
“Of course I remember.”
“I’m staying there.”
The way she hesitated to speak was like…
The way she was exuding sex appeal, this might be a seduction.
“Okay. I see.”
“…Don’t you have anything to say?”
Wienia lowered her head slightly, and her face was hidden by the brim of her hat. All I could see was that she was biting her lip tightly.
What should I say?
Manly Kim Kat doesn’t make excuses.
Macho Kim Kat doesn’t blame women.
And I, Kim Kat, don’t apologize.
“About what happened then?”
“…Yeah.”
What should I say?
If I don’t make excuses, blame others, or apologize, then I have nothing to say.
Wienia raised her head.
“Kat… Will you go with me?”
It must have taken a lot of courage for Wienia to say that.
I’m not stupid enough to not know what ‘where’ really means.
“Where to?”
But I refuse.
“Where to…? Are you talking to me like that right now?”
“…”
What happened then is what happened then, and I already have an ‘owner’.
Don’t think that seduction will work on an honorable warrior with a heart of steel. No matter how big your breasts are, what’s not going to work isn’t going to work. You can shake and rub your breasts all you want, but you can’t melt steel.
The melting point of steel was 1400℃.
The human body temperature is only 37℃.
“I can’t. My lover is waiting for me. You’ve seen her before, right? A girl named Claudie. I told her I’d be back early today…”
“So.”
“…”
“You’re not going with me?”
“…Yeah.”
I stood as stiff as a statue and answered. Wienia’s fist trembled. But it can’t change my mind.
“You son of a bitch… You bad guy!”
Wienia, who was trembling, shouted.
“You bad guy! You bad guy! You bad guy!”
The curses continued. Considering that she didn’t say “You motherfucking bastard” or “You son of a bitch,” is she holding back in her own way?
“No, this isn’t really a bad thing…”
“I don’t care! I’m going!”
Then she screamed.
I looked around and waved my hand.
“Well, goodbye…”
At that moment, Wienia, who was distorting her face at my gesture, raised her staff. Oh, you son of a bitch! What is this! I tried to throw myself in horror, but Wienia said quietly.
“…Then see you tomorrow.”
“Huh? Huk!”
Suddenly, Wienia put her staff around my neck and pulled me.
Our faces got closer. Wienia whispered in my ear.
“See you tomorrow. If you run away this time, you motherfucking Kat, I’ll never forgive you. I’ll find you and kill you no matter what.”
“…”
Because it was a word full of murderous intent, I had no choice but to shut my mouth.
“So don’t run away and be there tomorrow morning. If you don’t come… I’ll keep waiting.”
“…Don’t worry.”
The last word was quite lacking in confidence.
To her, I said not to worry.
Since I made a promise, I will be working with Wienia tomorrow.
“It’s hard to find a mage like you.”
Whether she was relieved by that word, she removed the staff.
Our current state was close to being embraced again.
“…Kat.”
“What.”
Wienia, who had her head down, said again.
“Hug me one more time.”
That’s not difficult. I hugged Wienia, who was hugging me again. Seeing her rubbing her head as if burrowing into my arms, I felt sorry for her.
Ah, man!
How can I, a man, have so much sin!
I am now Guilty-Prince Kim Kat, who has many sins!
After that, Wienia disappeared without saying anything, just like when we parted last time. She just told me one more time to be there tomorrow morning. I said a few more words to reassure Wienia and sent her away.
“Ah, fuck.”
I went back to the Adventurer’s Guild.
I was supposed to find someone, but I wasted more time than I thought.
Since the party members are me, Claudie, and Wienia, I think we only need to find one more person in terms of combat power.
Actually, it doesn’t really matter if there are only three people.
But it would be good to find a priest. I don’t know if Eliza will come to Isvant. She probably won’t come unless there’s something special.
If I were to find a priest, it would be good to have a priest or nun with some practical experience. Of course, excluding a trash like Custo.
I sat down in the guild again and scanned people in that way.
Unfortunately, there were no results.
It was already almost lunchtime, so there were no useful people, only idlers who had nothing to do. I probably feel the same way.
Fuck, should I just go with three people? No, if I include an F-rank adventurer to use as a porter, there are four people. If three people divide 10 silver, it’s 3.3 silver per person. Even if I give 5 coppers, there’s still a lot of money left.
Above all, since Hobgoblins are smarter than Goblins, I can get loot. If that’s the case, the daily wage increases exponentially. Actually, that’s why I need to find one more person…
It would be perfect to go with Copson at times like this, but that bastard is nowhere to be seen at times like this. What is he doing somewhere?
In the end, I had no choice but to trudge back to the accommodation without any results when it was almost sunset.
