## Chapter 126 – D-Rank Adventurer Kim Kat
Arriving at the city gate, I saw a line of carriages. It was practically a taxi stand. I chose one that looked about the right size for four people and spoke to the coachman.
“Excuse me, sir. I’m looking to go to a village called Kudin nearby. Can you take us there?”
Carriage fares varied wildly depending on size and purpose, so choosing the right one was important.
“Ah, you mean that abandoned mining village?”
“Yes, that’s the one.”
“It’ll be 30 coppers.”
Damn, that’s expensive.
With trembling hands, I paid the 30 coppers.
We could split the transportation costs when we divided the quest reward, so I decided to pay for it all now. The coachman counted the copper coins he received and climbed onto the driver’s seat.
“Let’s go, milord!”
The coachman shouted cheerfully.
“Alright, let’s get in.”
We boarded the carriage one by one. I went first, followed by Cloudie, then Winia and Lina.
The carriage only had a hood covering the roof; the sides were open, letting sunlight stream in.
Warm.
I felt drowsy, like I could just doze off and wake up when we arrived.
“Cloudie, can I lean on your shoulder?”
“Sure.”
Cloudie sat next to me, with Winia and Lina across from us. Well then, should I just lean on Cloudie’s shoulder and drift off to dreamland?
“…Blackie.”
“What?”
Winia glared at me with a displeased expression. Come to think of it, I rode in a carriage with Winia a few months ago when we went to catch the Cockatrice. Back then, I was practically captured by Winia and subjected to her whims.
“…Never mind. Nothing.”
Winia turned her head away.
…Is it because I’m too close to Cloudie?
But there’s nothing I can do about it. Whether Winia’s uncomfortable or not, Cloudie and I are a publicly acknowledged couple. No matter what Winia says, it can’t be helped. Not even a mage can defy the laws of nature.
I was amazed at myself for being in such a complex and delicate situation.
“Hehe… Heehee?”
“Hey, you!”
Suddenly, Cloudie leaned in close to me, wrapped her arm around my waist, and tried to slip her hand into my pants. Startled, I tried to shake off Cloudie’s hand, but it was impossible to overpower her.
More importantly, I couldn’t grab Cloudie’s arm too hard with my gauntlet on.
Her intruding hand slipped past my underwear and dug in… Ah! That’s my precious area!!!
“W-What are you doing!”
Winia shrieked at the sight. Squeeze, squeeze. Cloudie’s soft hand grabbed my member and began to rub it. The familiar sensation caused me to get an erection in less than five seconds!
“Ah, hey, hey! Stop it! There’s a kid here, what are you doing!”
I also screamed. Seriously, this woman wasn’t usually like this, what’s going on all of a sudden! With my crotch being grabbed, my strength drained away and my back started to arch.
“Hmm? Katt, don’t you like it?”
“N-No! It’s not that I don’t like it, but we’re not alone here…! Hng, hngh!”
There’s a kid right here, what are you doing!
…But then again, she seems used to it.
She lived selling her body in the back alleys, so it probably isn’t a big deal.
Lina turned her head away as if nothing was happening.
“Stop it!”
Unable to watch any longer, Winia grabbed Cloudie’s wrist and said.
“Oh my, are you trying to interfere?”
“I-Interfere? What are you suddenly doing…!”
As Winia shouted in excitement, Cloudie smiled brightly. Looking at her face, it seemed like she was planning to tease Winia… Damn it! Catfight! No, it was closer to a perverted couple engaging in blatant public displays of affection and a model citizen trying to stop them.
“Suddenly? This is something we do every day, isn’t it?”
“E-Every day?”
“Yeah, isn’t it natural since we live together?”
The enraged Winia glared at my face, which must have been melting with sexual excitement… I was extremely embarrassed to meet her gaze. Only Cloudie is allowed to see this face!
As the standoff continued, Cloudie started playing with my member again and nibbled on my ear. An unsightly moan escaped my lips.
ㅡTap tap tap tap!
After playing with my crotch almost every day, Cloudie had now completely grasped all of my weaknesses.
She relentlessly shook it as if trying to extract the nasty, whitish liquid that filled my insides.
“Hehe…? Or do you want to do ‘this’ too?”
That was the final blow.
Winia’s face flushed instantly.
“That’s not what I meant!”
“Your face is red, mage girl.”
“Eek!”
I wanted to step in and stop them somehow, but it was impossible with my crotch being grabbed. I was just going to observe the situation, but suddenly, an arrow flew towards me.
“Blackie! Are you horny?! Tell her to stop right now if you don’t like it!”
“W-Well… it’s not that I don’t like it…”
“Idiot! You fucking idiot! You goddamn horny bastard!”
Winia spewed out curses in response to my answer.
Amused by the explicit curses, Cloudie burst into laughter.
“Hehehe, was the joke too much? Sorry.”
“How can you say sorry after making a joke like that…!”
I don’t know anymore. I think I’m going to cum.
“Sorry for teasing you. But I couldn’t help it. I can’t stand it when I’m next to Katt.”
Cloudie finally took her hand away.
The feeling of impending ejaculation that had been building up subsided.
Forcibly stopping right before ejaculation is said to put a tremendous burden on the prostate and urethra. This is because the backflow of semen causes pressure that damages the urinary tract.
If this continues, it increases the likelihood of developing severe erectile dysfunction or suffering from various urinary-related diseases. Not only urethritis but also benign prostatic hyperplasia can occur, causing suffering.
In fact, a boy in South America reportedly crossed the point of no return after masturbating 42 times in a row, but let’s skip that since it’s just a matter of frequency.
Anyway, once you’ve decided to ejaculate, it’s better for men’s health to release it completely without holding back or delaying it.
Cloudie had always been mischievous, but today she was especially so.
“You know ‘from experience,’ right? How attractive Katt is?”
She’s sexually harassing me using myself!
“…!”
Winia pulled her hat down low and sat down. I wanted to somehow resolve the desire of my still-stiff member, but it was impossible in this atmosphere.
Well, I can’t exactly ask her to suck it.
I decided to just endure it.
“…Change seats.”
“Huh?”
“Change seats! So you don’t do that again!”
Cloudie laughed again at those words.
Cloudie patted my back a few times and went to Lina to switch seats. As a result, Winia and Cloudie ended up sitting together, and I sat with Lina. The quietly sitting Lina’s complexion instantly turned pale.
After that, Cloudie and Winia bickered with each other until we reached our destination. No matter what Winia said, Cloudie immediately landed a blow with a single word.
Winia could never win against Cloudie with words.
I wasn’t used to seeing her looking like she was forcibly suppressing her annoyance.
“Hey, Lina.”
“…Why, why?”
“I’m saying this because you’re like a little sister to me. The world isn’t that easy. So, what being an adventurer is all about…”
Since I was wide awake and had nothing to do, I decided to just start talking to Lina next to me. I just told her all sorts of words of wisdom and tips that I knew. I said those words with good intentions, but for some reason, Lina started trembling from the middle.
Why?
I don’t know why, but it seemed like she was afraid of me.
Anyway, with that feeling, we were finally able to reach the abandoned mining village, our destination, around sunset.
The name of the village was Kudin.
After getting out of the carriage, I asked a nearby resident to guide us to the village chief’s house.
ㅡKnock knock knock.
Arriving at the village chief’s house and knocking on the door, an old man with a full white beard came out from inside. He was the village chief. When I introduced ourselves as the adventurers who had come to eliminate the hobgoblins, he immediately welcomed us.
“Oh! You’re the adventurers who will eliminate the hobgoblins! I’m surprised you came so quickly! I’m glad I requested the guild after all!”
“But it’s a bit late. I think we’ll have to sleep tonight and start working tomorrow morning.”
“Hmm, that’s a shame. But it can’t be helped. I’ll prepare lodging for you.”
The village chief led us to an empty house on the outskirts of the village. He said it used to be used as a warehouse, and it was a great consideration that he wasn’t charging us for lodging.
On the way there, we heard the general situation.
The village of Kudin used to prosper as a mining town, but after the mine closed and became an abandoned mine, it declined and became a village that barely made a living by farming.
They lived like that for a dozen years without any major problems, but recently, a horde of hobgoblins suddenly appeared, occupied the abandoned mine, and used it as a base to loot crops.
They tried to solve it with the village’s militia, but since the people who used to be miners and now live as farmers couldn’t fight like professional warriors, they judged that subjugation was impossible and requested the guild.
They succeeded in killing two of the hobgoblins who came to loot under the cover of night, but the village chief continued, saying that it was impossible for the militia to attack the abandoned mine.
“That’s roughly our situation. I’d like you to subjugate them as soon as possible, but I’m glad you’ll start tomorrow. Oh, and could you stop by my house for a moment before you leave tomorrow morning?”
“Of course. We’ll visit you early in the morning.”
“Then have a good day today… I’ll see you in the morning. Please take care of us. Oh, and take this too. It’s a map of the mine.”
The village chief, who had greeted us politely, left.
Judging from his attitude and level of consideration, he seemed like a very good person.
Good. Tomorrow, the frenzied slaughter party begins.
What, I’m a powerful expert who even killed a Dryad alone. I don’t think hobgoblins will be stronger than that.
Actually, since they form groups to loot in an organized manner, the individual combat power probably doesn’t matter much. How strong could a single hobgoblin be? It’s just that they’re threatening because they come in groups.
I won’t underestimate them, but I won’t be intimidated either.
It was wise to approach the battle with the intention of killing them all.
First, let’s check the map they gave us.
“Is that the map of the abandoned mine?”
“So they say. Looking at it, it doesn’t seem that big. Seeing the markings that it’s collapsed in places, the search range will also be narrowed.”
I checked the map with Cloudie, who had her chin on my shoulder.
It used to be a large mine, but seeing the markings that it had collapsed in places, it didn’t seem like there would be any difficulties in the search. After checking the map appropriately, it was completely dark.
Should I get some sleep soon?
You have to sleep well to fight well.
“…”
But when I think about it, it’s just one room like a warehouse.
It’s a situation where the four of us have to sleep together here.
…I have a bad feeling about this.
“Katt, should we sleep then?”
“Huh? Uh-huh. We should.”
There was only dry straw spread on the floor, but since there was a roof anyway, I thought we could just lie down and sleep with our armor on. It’s a small village, so there doesn’t seem to be an inn, and I’m satisfied with this much. I just loosened my sword belt.
“Hey, Winia. It’s okay if we all just sleep here, right?”
“This place is really awful. But what can we do? There’s no other way. I have to endure it.”
Winia grumbled.
As she was doing that, Cloudie barged in, grabbed me, and pinned me down as if she was using a wrestling technique. As I was shouting, Cloudie said to Winia.
“Don’t worry. I won’t do ‘that’.”
That’s a relief.
“I don’t like you!”
“Hehe, is that so?”
“I don’t know, damn it!”
Winia, who had shouted, went to the corner and lay down. Lina, who had been restless, also took a spot away from us and lay down curled up. I also relaxed my body.
