Chapter 394 – The Forest Of Monsters
◈
The male adventurers I rescued all reacted differently after being saved.
“Ugh… Ah… Ugh…”
Some were still unable to escape their trauma.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!”
Some were expressing their gratitude to me.
“What is a woman… What is a pig…”
Some were uttering philosophical words.
“I’m aliveeeeeee!!!! Hahahaha!”
Some were overwhelmed with emotion at having survived.
“Die! Die! Die! You rotten pig bastards! Dieeeeeeee!!!”
Some were stabbing the already dead orcs with their swords.
Everyone was different.
There were about 25 adventurers inside the cave.
First, I released all the bound people, told them to put on any clothes they could find nearby, and gave cloaks made of mana weapons to those who didn’t have any.
When we all came outside, the fog had completely disappeared.
It seemed that the magic had been dispelled by killing the orc mage.
Jean, who had been waiting behind a tree, ran towards me.
“Ahhh! You saved everyone! Thank you! Thank you!”
“First, let’s all get out of the forest. The fog is gone, so it’ll be easy to find our way.”
“Yes!”
Another adventurer supported those who were still disoriented, and we all walked towards the edge of the forest together.
While walking, I told my lovers that I had rescued all the male adventurers.
“They were all alive?”
“Yeah. Luckily. But… some of them are still traumatized because they were raped by the orcs.”
Tikia looked bitter.
“Whether it’s a man or a woman, being attacked by orcs must be incredibly traumatic…”
“Um, um… Rent, shouldn’t we tell Guild Master Vernil?”
“Yeah, we should.”
Poof!
I dispelled the two clones I had kept waiting, and at the same time, I removed the projection magic and created another clone.
“Then I’ll go and tell them.”
◈
Controlling the clone, I zoomed to Ridan’s Adventurer Guild and opened the Guild Master’s office where Vernil was.
“Guild Master Vernil!”
“Dungeon Crasher, what’s the matter? Is there anything you need…?”
“I’ve rescued the adventurers!”
Guild Master Vernil slammed his desk and stood up.
“What! Is that true!”
“Yes, I’ve rescued them and we’re coming out of the forest now.”
“Then let’s go right away!”
“Ah, the male adventurers are in a terrible state, so we need to bring some clothes for them to wear.”
“Understood, I’ll prepare immediately!”
Guild Master Vernil immediately went down to the first floor and shouted loudly.
“The missing adventurers have been rescued!”
“What!”
“Oh, brother!”
“Where are they! Where are they, Guild Master!”
“They’re coming out of the forest now! Everyone, bring some clothes and follow me!”
The Guild Master and people who seemed to be the missing adventurers’ companions gathered clothes and followed me out of Ridan.
Then, together with the Guild Master and the adventurers, we arrived at the place where my lovers were.
As soon as I dispelled the clone, the adventurers’ eyes widened in surprise.
But Guild Master Vernil, who already knew about my clone technique, came up to me and asked.
“When are the missing adventurers coming?”
“Just a moment.”
I controlled the clone that was with the male adventurers, raised my right hand high, and fired a magic cannon.
Puh-woooom!!!
A pillar of light was seen rising into the sky not too far away.
“They’re around there.”
“Ryg!”
“Brother!”
“Let’s go quickly!”
The adventurers who had come with us ran into the forest towards the direction of the pillar of light.
And soon, the adventurers running towards us were visible in the clone’s vision.
They and the missing adventurers looked at each other, their eyes reddened, and they hugged each other, shedding tears.
“I’m so glad! I’m so glad!”
“Ugh, ugh, ugh, ughhhhhh!!!”
A male adventurer who was almost out of his mind burst into tears when he was hugged by a dear companion or someone he thought of as family.
After that, the missing adventurers returned to their homes with their families or companions to rest, and we followed Guild Master Vernil back to the Guild Master’s office.
“Thank you so much, Dungeon Crasher.”
“Please call me Rent.”
“Alright, Rent. Thanks to you, this incident was resolved so quickly. Thank you so much. Now… can you explain what happened?”
“Yes.”
I explained who was behind the incident and how the missing male adventurers were treated.
“A group of female orcs was behind it? Hmm, there are no orc habitats around here… Where did such strong orcs come from…”
Guild Master Vernil pondered, but soon his expression relaxed and he said.
“Let’s think about that later. You can receive your reward from the receptionist on the first floor. And if it’s alright, I’d like you to visit the Adventurer Guild again tomorrow. We’ll throw a party for you.”
“Thank you, Guild Master.”
“No, this is the least we can do. And… it’s important to create a joyful atmosphere for those who have been traumatized.”
Guild Master Vernil seemed to be thinking about various things.
If so, the remaining time was for finding an inn in Ridan and spending time together.
“Ah, Guild Master, there’s one thing I’d like to ask.”
“Hmm? What is it? Ask me anything.”
“I heard that Ridan is famous for its apple pie… Where is the most delicious apple pie that you know of?”
“Hmm…? Ahahahaha! Yes, our Ridan’s apple pie is the best! Wait a moment.”
Guild Master Vernil went to his desk, opened a drawer, and took out a map, which he unfolded in front of us.
Then, pointing to a section of the map, he said.
“Here is the Adventurer Guild where we are now. And near here, there’s a cafe called Honey Tree Forest, which sells the most delicious apple pie I know of. Here, take this.”
The Guild Master handed me the map.
“Ah, I don’t need the map…”
“It will be useful when you come back to Ridan again.”
“I understand.”
It was Guild Master Vernil’s kindness, so I decided to accept it.
“When will the party be held?”
“If you come around noon, we’ll have everything prepared.”
“Yes.”
“Ah, and…”
Guild Master Vernil came closer to me and whispered in my ear.
“The inn called Lake of Silence near the shop I recommended would be good. You’ll know why it’s good when you hear the name… right?”
Silence.
Does that mean it has great soundproofing?
It seems that he thinks that since everyone in our party is a woman except for me, at least one of them is in that kind of relationship, so he’s being considerate.
But tonight, I’m going to use clones to make love to everyone in their own rooms, so good soundproofing is even better.
“Yes, thank you.”
Then, we went down to the first floor, received our reward, and walked towards the cafe called Honey Tree Forest that Guild Master Vernil had told us about.
While walking, I controlled the clone at the Pludan Adventurer Guild and reported the completion of the request to the Guild Master. Then Noah said.
“Come to think of it, it hasn’t even been two hours since we came to Ridan, and the request is already over.”
“Yes, it’s a relief that the missing adventurers were found so quickly thanks to Rent.”
“Then we can just sightsee in Ridan now.”
“There are some questions, but… let’s fill our stomachs first!”
We arrived at Honey Tree Forest and ordered apple pie and drinks.
Tikia, Noah, and I ordered apple juice, and Elsie and Ninya ordered black tea.
While we were waiting, the apple pies came out.
When I bit into the apple pie, the moist texture inside the warm, crispy crust, along with the apple jam, oozed out.
The sweet scent of the apple jam spread in my mouth, making me feel like I was in a forest of apple trees.
“It’s delicious!”
“Munch munch munch munch!”
Noah and Tikia were devouring the apple pie at a rapid pace.
Elsie had her hand on her cheek with a happy expression, and Ninya glanced at my lower body.
Is she thinking about what it would be like to be covered in my semen?
…It’s impossible to do it here, so let’s ask for a takeaway later.
“Munch munch munch… gulp! One more!”
“Me too!”
Tikia and Noah raised their hands and ordered more.
At that moment, a man who seemed to be the manager of the shop came to us, bowed his head, and said.
“I’m sorry, customers. Currently, the forest where apples can be harvested is off-limits, so we only accept one order of apple pie per person.”
“”What… did you say!?””
Come to think of it, I had heard that apple pies use apples from the Forest of Monsters as ingredients.
“I’m very sorry. The Forest of Monsters is also where monsters appear, so we usually request adventurers to collect apples… but now there has been an incident where adventurers have gone missing in the forest.
So, until the incident is resolved, we are somehow managing to operate with the apples we had stored in advance… We ask for your understanding.”
Elsie said to the manager, who bowed his head again.
“Um… you don’t have to worry about that. The incident was resolved today.”
“Huh!? Is, is that really true!”
I said to the surprised manager.
“Yes, the missing adventurers have been rescued today.”
“Oh, that’s a relief. But do you know why they went missing?”
“A group of powerful female orcs kidnapped the adventurers. There was also an orc mage among them.”
“That’s impossible, female orcs… There was a regular customer of our shop among the missing people. His name is Jean, do you know him?”
What a coincidence.
Jean was a regular at this cafe.
“Yes, Jean is also safe. Fortunately, all the missing male adventurers are alive.”
“I see, that’s… a relief.”
“Hehehe, mister. And you know what? It was Rent right in front of you who solved this incident!”
Noah said, stretching out her hands towards me with a flourish.
“Huh? Is, is that really true?”
“Yes, I’m an adventurer who came from Pludan to solve the incident.”
“I can’t believe it. You’re the benefactor of our Ridan.”
“Hey, manager! Since he’s our benefactor, can’t we order more apple pie? And one more apple juice!”
Tikia raised her mug high and asked for more juice.
“Of course! If we can get apples again from tomorrow, we can accept as many orders as you want!”
“”Yay!””
“Ah, then I’ll have an apple pie and apple juice too.”
“M-me too.”
“I’ll have one too~ Manager♪”
In the end, we ordered one more apple pie and drink each.
One was enough, but it wasn’t like we couldn’t eat one more.
In the first place, adventurers are a physically active profession, so they can eat a lot on average.
We each picked up a piece of the additional apple pie with our forks and took a bite.
“”Mmm~♪””
And at the same time, we felt the taste of the apple pie and made happy expressions.
It’s delicious!
◈
After eating the apple pie deliciously, I really liked it, so I wanted to order one more each for Melissa, Miranda, Tina, and the three employees at the Fox’s Rest, as well as for Leni, Leni’s colleagues Mani, Kelban, and Kevin, the A-rank adventurers who had partied with us during the flood, Misha, and finally the Guild Master.
“I’m sorry, I would love to make them for you, but the truth is, the amount we can make right now is limited to five.”
As expected, the amount we ordered was too much compared to the stored apples.
No, before that, they haven’t been able to get apples, so they’ve been trying to figure out how to manage until now.
I can’t ask them to make apple pies that don’t exist when they don’t have the ingredients.
But the apple pie here was so delicious that I wanted others to taste it too.
At that moment, Noah hugged me from behind, put her chin on my shoulder, and said.
“Then why don’t we just go pick the apples? The incident is over now, so it should be okay.”
“Ah, that would work.”
Just as I was thinking about going to the Adventurer Guild, Elsie said.
“B-but is that possible? Even if the incident is over, shouldn’t it be off-limits for a few days for safety reasons?”
“That’s true. There might be another orc mage or something. They might have to form an investigation team and keep an eye on it for a few days.”
Tikia nodded in agreement with Elsie’s words.
“Hehe, but we can pick apples, right? After all, we have Rent, who solved the incident. How about going back to the Adventurer Guild and asking Guild Master Vernil?”
“Yes, let’s try that.”
It might not work, but there’s no harm in asking.
I asked the cafe manager.
“If we bring the apples, can you make them for us?”
The manager nodded his head vigorously and assured us.
“Of course! I will put my heart and soul into making the best apple pie for you, who solved the incident.”
“Then we’ll do our best to bring the apples.”
“I’m also looking forward to you bringing the apples.”
Then we headed back to the Adventurer Guild.
『We’ve received a sub-quest, Rent.』
Considering the taste of the apple pie, it’s not an exaggeration to call it a main quest, Solly.
I’ll let you eat it in the dream connection.
『I look forward to it.』
…Do you need semen dressing?
『Isn’t that a must-have set?』
