Chapter 12 – Lingering
“You… Do you like them?”
“… What?!”
Hearing that, Horde wondered if the hundreds-year-old elf had finally developed dementia.
It was really ridiculous to say such things seriously after getting old and saying whether you like it or love it.
“Has this hag gone senile?”
“Sometimes a strong negative is a strong positive. Seeing how obsessed you are, it’s clear that you have some kind of heart.”
Seeing Lina say that with her playful childlike expression, Hod said to Lina in her irritation.
“It’s not like that, I just… !! Because those bitches’ faces and bodies are fucking ugly…”
Originally, the best females who would never touch the hands of the Horde knelt in front of them, bowed, and begged their cocks.
How many men would hate such a sight, regardless of whether they were of low or high rank?
Horde thought that his feelings for the two women were nothing but raw sexual desire, never mixed with bittersweet feelings like love.
“Can’t falling for one’s appearance be called love?”
“What? Yea of course…”
Before Horde could say anything, Lina let out her words like a rapid-fire cannon.
“It’s nice to have a good look. It’s nice to have a kind heart It’s good to have a lot of money. Good at having sex The reason why people like people is different for each person, and just because the reason is different from others does not mean that it is not love.”
“So what… What are you saying?”
“First… This is going to be a bit long, so sit down over there.”
The place Lina pointed to was a bench that happened to be near a lamppost.
Horde suddenly wondered what he was doing, but somehow curious about what Lina was saying, she sat down on the bench.
“For now, close your eyes. And listen to what I have to say and imagine the scene.”
“Imagine what…”
“Just pretend you’re being fooled, don’t ask anything and give it a try. Even if I’m wrong, do I have to lose more time anyway?”
“…”
At that, Horde did as Lina said and closed her eyes. Soon after, Lina started whispering sweet breath into Horde’s ear.
“First of all…”
*****
“Whoa…”
When she led her weary body inside, YuRia and Mirian, who smiled brightly, greeted Horde.
“… It’s late today. Are you tired from work?”
“I’ve been waiting for you, let’s go in quickly.”
Saying that, YuRia led Horde by the hand and went inside, and Mirian took Horde’s backpack instead.
A few years after the subjugation of the demon king, the three people who got married and had children were living peacefully like this.
Although she was not recognized by her parents due to strong opposition from her family, this life was not bad either.
Upon entering, there were various dishes on the table that were clumsy but made with great care.
Hod sat down at the table with his wife and tasted the dishes they had prepared with care.
“Uh, how… ?”
“I tried, but… I don’t know if it’s made that well.”
Certainly, the taste was not that good compared to the ones sold in the store, but Horde, who couldn’t say that the wife’s sincerity was tasteless, tried to smile.
Even though they barely laughed, the two of them started to enjoy the dish in front of them while hesitating.
The three of them had a meal together and laughed happily as they talked about the trivial things that happened today.
As ordinary days passed today, and the time to go to bed came, the three of them headed to bed together.
The bed shared by the three of them was, of course, huge.
Horde first lay down in the center, and YuRia and Mirian cautiously approached and cradled in Horde’s arms.
Horde was just about to go to sleep when the two people lying next to him pulled on the sleeves of Horde’s nightgown and said,
Wanting something, Horde turned his head from side to side, and the two of them stroked his swollen stomach and said,
“Excuse me… You know, if I give birth to this child, would you like to have a second child?”
“More children and siblings will like it.”
It’s a little funny to talk about a second child already when they haven’t even been born yet, but Hod, who naturally smiles at the thought of a child born between the two of them, nods and smiles.
“Hey, I promise!”
“I believe you won’t talk twice with one mouth.”
The two rejoiced and fell more and more into Horde’s arms, and the night went deeper and deeper.
*****
When Horde opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Lina clinging to his side, pushing his chest.
Lina saw Horde open her eyes and she fell right beside her, she asked Horde.
“How is it? Are you really not satisfied?”
“…”
Hearing Lina’s words and the dreamlike vision of her in her mind moved Horde.
‘Could I be real… ?’
Perhaps he had the illusion that he really loved them, Horde turned her head toward Lina, and said.
“Is this really love?”
To that question, Lina still has a mischievous expression on her face.
“Then it is love. Even if there are men who want to fuck a prostitute, there are no men who want to marry a prostitute and have children, right?”
Hod, who had never been in a normal relationship for the rest of his life, did not know what Lina was thinking even after hearing her words.
The philosophical question of what the clear distinction between lust and love had never been in Horde’s mind, so he couldn’t judge his feelings with reason.
“I’m really in love… ?”
“Yeah, honestly what… Isn’t that impossible? Not to mention their bodies, they both have pretty faces like mine, so it’s not too much of a stretch for you to fall for them.”
“… Then what could be good?”
At Horde’s question about her future, Lina tilted her head as if she really didn’t know.
“What can I say… What?”
“So, let’s say I like them… What are you going to do next?”
“What? I was just explaining the feelings you were feeling. There is no countermeasure or anything like that.”
In fact, it’s a story that Horde likes them, so what’s the point?
Even among the adventurers in this city, an adventurer who likes them would be a truck, but there was no countermeasure.
“… Then why did you bring this up? Are you trying to talk bullshit about just explaining your feelings?”
“No… What I am about to say is true.”
Unlike before, Lina looked at Horde with a very serious expression and said.
“I am saying this because I am thinking of you. If you like them, get out of this party quickly.”
“What… ?”
“You had a lot of fun with those guys, didn’t you? Be satisfied with that, don’t be greedy for nothing. If you remain at this party any longer, you will be terribly miserable.”
When Lina’s voice completely lost the usual sense of playfulness, Horde instinctively knew it wasn’t a joke.
“What do you mean…?
“It is literally. If you continue like this, you will meet a disastrous end at the hands of Yuria or Mirian. I think Yuria has a better chance, but… Still, in case you don’t know…”
“Therefore!! Why is it like that!!”
At Horde’s cry, Lina didn’t even move, and as if she expected it, she just said calmly.
“As I said before, Yuria’s self-destruction created a strange atmosphere between her dragon love, Martha. In other words, even if you’re not dating, you can say it’s flirting.”
“What was that… !!”
“If you flirt like that, the frequency of flirting like before will increase. How will YuRia or Mirian feel if they see it?”
“… Awesome!!”
Horde, thinking that the hero made them feel what YuRia and Mirian felt in the meantime, often smiled at the thought of the hero they would disassemble.
So it was not difficult for Horde to imagine what kind of feelings YuRia and Mirian would have upon seeing that scene.
“If the person you love does something like that out of my sight but out of reach… I can’t stand it.”
After that, when Lina even said that she would kill the culprit and the woman, Hod felt goosebumps running down his back.
Lina, who has suffered many deaths and separations over her long years, did not use the phrase “She kills even a joke” Lightly.
But now, when Lina’s voice sounded so low that even Horde could tell, Horde realized that Lina was her true heart.
“Do you really think you will kill me?”
“Okay, when you get to that point, it doesn’t really matter if I did something wrong or not.”
There is an old saying that love blinds people.
Even if a person is blind, at best it becomes a service and ends, but if a sword or a gun is held in the hand of that service, the story is different.
A blind person sees and shoots well when swinging a sword or shooting a gun, but a blind person does not have that.
It was not hard to imagine what the two would do to the Horde, relying on their emotions and abandoning their reason.
“Marta will have no problem in terms of strength, but… You are not.”
Horde is a porter.
It is said that they have better stamina and strength compared to ordinary people, but to the contrary, that is all.
She was no match for Yuria, who graduated from the academy at the top of her class, or Mirian, a first-class knight.
“… If I fuck them again somehow…”
“… I guess I haven’t figured out the situation yet. Things are different from before.”
In the past, the two men did not want the fact to be found out by the hero, so the threat worked, but now that the relationship has already been revealed, the threat does not work.
Besides, even if he tried to take advantage of his disappointment like before, it would only have the opposite effect since Horde was one of the causes of his disappointment.
“Oh, no… Still, if you do it somehow… !!”
“Even if you miraculously do it once, what follows is your death.”
“No… !! You know, but those bitches’ lewdness isn’t normal…”
“Men are often mistaken, but sage time is not only for men.”
Just as a man has a sage time after ejaculation, a woman also has a sage time.
“Horde, think of yourself as a woman and imagine.”
I woke up in bed in the morning, and the clothes I took off yesterday were thrown away in a dirty room.
The semen that the man sprayed yesterday is dripping from his crotch.
I raised my body, sticky with sweat and semen, and turned my head to the side, and there was a porter in his 30s.
“Now you know what the girls who slept with you feel like the next day? As you know, you are a person who can give pleasure but not happiness.”
“…”
Horde didn’t say anything at that, just hung his head.
“This… In the meantime, I’m talking about rice cakes. If you really like them, get out of this party. Otherwise, you will die a miserable death doing what you tried to do to the hero.”
Lena left only those words and left Hod sitting on her bench and left alone.
Hod, sitting on the bench, stared at the floor for a while and spoke in a low voice that no one else could hear.
“Do you feel like giving up…”
