Chapter 57: Goodbyes – Part 3

Chapter 57: Goodbyes – Part 3

Today is the 2nd.

I pat Aoi's head, who happily woke me up. I look to one side and give Alissa her good morning kiss, then I look to the other and give one to Klein, whose lips are already wet with Hana's saliva.

My small summoned bird is still with Osaria, who slept while hugging it and now lets it nestle itself between her breasts.

I summon a Shad and a Holly and order the latter to become visible.

"Klein, I'll give these two summons to you," I say and present the Holly to her.

"W-what?" She receives the one-eyed little bat, feeling very confused.

"To keep you safe, and so that I can take a look at you once in a while," I say and smile, then I cup her cheek and give her a peck on the nose. "I'll give you full control over them so that you can feel safer when you walk around."

"Won't they use your mana?"

"They can survive on MP potions, so with this much, you should be able to feed them for a few months." I pull out a handful of gold coins and hand them to her.

She frowns and her monkey ears fall flat as she looks down. "I can't really accept this."

"It'd make us more comfortable if you did. Caravan work isn't completely safe, even if you take the safest routes," Hana says.

Klein holds the coins close to her heart and stares at me with pained eyes. "You do so much for me..." She whispers.

Aside from fucking you silly and giving you a necklace I haven't really done that much, though.

"Well, I just like to dote on people," I say and shrug.

Her tail wraps around my neck and pulls me closer to give me a kiss. Then she pounces on Hana and gives her one too, then Alissa sneaks up behind her and steals one for herself.

"Tell your parents that it's a special summon that I developed and to keep it a secret. Don't tell them that it's a monster," I say.

She shyly nods a few times and stores the coins in her [Item Box].

Then we go down to have our breakfast.

I check the girls' statuses. I'd skipped it yesterday because of the Turn of the Wheel.

Alissa increased her "Charisma" by 1 (now 14). Hana increased her [Illusion Magic] by 1 (now 5). Lina increased her [Earth Magic] by 1 (now 4+6). Roxanne increased her [Alchemy] by 1 (now 4). And because of yesterday, my [Soul Manipulation] increased by 1 (now 3).

The sun isn't even out yet, so we wait for a few minutes while breakfast is being prepared. There are only two other people around: a dragonkin with a sword at his waist and an Angel demon race putting on mage robes. Both of them are also likely to be in the guard business since they are leaving for work before first light.

After we get our bellies filled, our troupe flies through the foggy streets as the town slowly awakens.

We pay for a ferry to take us across the river since flying in and out of town is forbidden no matter which direction you choose.

When we reach the other side, the first rays of light start coming out and the fog of the morning begins to dissipate, so we fly faster towards the western gate.

Klein keeps fiddling with her necklace for the whole trip while she wistfully gazes at the buildings below us.

We land near the gate and easily find Este's caravan waiting in line to leave. The first caravans at the gate are already moving out.

We greet the guards, and I look at the elven sisters with a little bit of disappointment. I've had a lot of fun with the loli sisters, but I got nowhere with the elven pair.

I see a few new faces among the guards; it seems that Rande has beefed up security and is increasing the overall number of employees. Then I see Laertes and he gives me a small nod when our eyes meet.

Klein meets with her parents and we waste some time chit-chatting while the line moves. Lina enters the carriage and returns the books she borrowed from Oura. Osaria then comes out of the carriage with my little bird nestled between her breasts.

"Can I keep it?" The curvy milf asks with a smirk. "It's so cute and quite 'interesting' to have around."

Anton immediately facepalms.

"I think that's possible. It uses so little mana that I won't miss it. Just remember to feed it often since it can die if it runs out of mana," I say.

"I'll certainly remember to do that," Osaria says. She gushes a little with happiness and her droopy eyes become upturned for a moment, then they become a little serious and sad. "It'll also tell me that you're still coming back..." She whispers, softly.

I frown a little and give her a pained smile. Sometimes I wish that my destiny was different so that I wouldn't have to make her worry anymore, but this is only the first time, there will be many more to come...

We talk about their coming trip through Glorampina. The grasslands over there are absolutely beautiful and idyllic. The temperature may be a little hot, but the winds make sure that everything is always fresh.

That's Osaria's homeland, so you can bet that it's filled with milfy dark elves with red eyes just like hers. Maybe not exactly like that, but, yeah, a beautiful place.

I see one of Este's new mages summon a few birds and an earth elemental. The elemental is smaller than mine, obviously, but it looks sturdy enough.

Osaria notices where I'm looking and smiles. Then, she says, "Rande was convinced of the usefulness of elementals and [Summoning Magic]. We made quite a lot of profit on this run, so we decided to invest in it."

"A solid choice; you won't regret it," Ciel says with a nod.

"Summons can be used for all sorts of small and menial tasks. It's hard to even think about living without them now," Lina says.

"Small and menial tasks were supposed to be a slave's job, but I can see that Wolfy has a different mindset," Osaria says and sends me a mischievous glance. Lina blushes slightly and fiddles with her thumbs.

"The happier everybody is, the more united we are," I say and shrug.

"Well, it certainly makes us all very happy that nobody has to stay up for the night watch," Roxanne says and they all agree.

Then Este's caravan reaches the gate and prepares to pass through customs. The time for them to leave has finally come.

Osaria gives me a deep kiss and enters her carriage, giving only a casual goodbye to the others. Oura gives a hug to Lina, shocking my little girl for a moment, then she returns to her carriage. Nito shyly waves and his stare at me gives me a small shiver, then he returns to his position among the horses.

Well, there is one guy that I have to say goodbye to.

I approach my former beast of a horse and talk to it with [Animal Tongue], "Thanks for carrying me all this way, big guy."

The horse neighs softly, a mere nod of acknowledgment.

"You're a good worker. I'll miss you, a little."

The horse huffs, agreeing with my compliment as if it's saying "of course!" Then his head turns to me and lowers a little, letting me pet its mane.

"Alright. Goodbye, friend."

It neighs once, solemnly.

Nito smiles softly at me and I blush slightly while I return to the girls. He's way too much like a girl for me to even see him as a man.

The usual guards have better equipment now and a number of them, including the joker and Julien, get on our former horses. Julien and the others give us one last wave before guiding their horses towards the gate.

Then Rande comes to give us all a goodbye.

He gives me a strong handshake and a dimpled smirk. Then the smirk disappears and he turns serious. "Let's work again one day. If not that, then at least come visit my mother, she seems to have taken quite a liking to you. I won't ask you to marry her, but do take responsibility and don't disappoint her."

"If I could, we wouldn't leave her alone," I say and smile.

He chuckles and then goes over to Hana. He stops mid handshake and stares deeply into her eyes. "I'll miss seeing you every day. My heart will miss your fiery soul serving as my second sun," he says, dramatically.

"I'll miss rejecting your advances," Hana says with a fearsome smile.

He releases her hand and laughs out loud. "Ha! You're all horrible sadists. I feel like I am the innocent doe among orcs."

"You might actually be right!" Osaria shouts from the inside of the carriage.

The other girls receive a simple handshake and even Aoi gets one. She wraps her small claws around his thick finger and puffs smoke out of her nose, feeling satisfied.

Now Anton and Krysta come over to say goodbye.

Anton loosely covers my hand with his sausage-fingers and then frowns a little harder. "I must say, it's annoying living near you, Ryders, but you're all good people. Don't change. And remember to come back and pick up Klein again; you're going to have to take responsibility and be her not-husband for the rest of your life," he says and finishes with a grunt.

"We will, don't worry," Hana says and Anton grunts again.

"I'm sure that Helios will one day meet No Defeat again," I say with a smirk.

"BAHAHAHA!" Anton laughs heartily while Klein and Krysta groan softly. "What?! It's funny!" He says and chuckles.

"I agree. A name like that fits you guys really well," Hana says while smiling.

"She can fly, but she hasn't mastered it yet, so I think that she can still learn quite a lot more," Hana says.

"Kweh! I'm almost there, then!" She exclaims quite happily and lands in Hana's arms.

"Yeah, you've grown so fast that it's a little frightening, really." Hana taps her snout lovingly.

"I am awesome and ferocious! Rawr!" She fakes a cute roar in her chipmunk voice.

"Yes, you are! Yes, you are!" Hana rubs her nose against Aoi's and receives a few licks and kisses.

Lina and Ciel come back a few hours later with arm-length rubbery gloves. Both of them look quite happy and affectionate with each other.

"How was your date?" Alissa asks with a smirk.

"Very good," Lina calmly answers while Ciel smiles a little guiltily.

I fall to the ground with a thud and Hana immediately mounts me. I try to pull her off, but all of my muscles are too tired and I don't have enough mental energy to guide my [Soul Manipulation] to create anything useful.

Her legs straddle my waist and she pulls down my pants. Mana rushes downstairs and my member immediately bulges.

"Oh no~... I've lost...! Now I'll be 'punished' by Hana!" I exclaim dramatically.

"He's ours tonight, so be gentle," Ciel says.

"Meh, fine," Hana says, not very pleased.

Lina easily welds together Roxanne's workshop and starts testing the air-tightness of it by filling it with water. It's okay so far, but now it needs an enchantment that pumps out the air.

Soon after that, we go to the bath and Hana carries me there like a princess. We don't call the maids, to give my body just a small amount of rest, but that doesn't mean that I ignore Ciel and Lina.

I can easily fill three of their holes simultaneously, so the possibilities are endless. My focus this time is on making sure that all of their nipples are well-sucked.

After having sold their time with me during the marathon, they grew a little thirsty, so I'm left with a hole in my mana when we finally leave the bath.

Osaria takes a bath alone with the bird and plays with it gently. Her soft touch and delicious body make me miss her already. My milfy seductress needs her man!

Klein also plays with her Holly, though she looks very sad.

"Hey, Wolfy, I hope that you are listening. I love you, I love Hana, I love Alissa, I love Lina, I love Roxanne, I love Ciel, and I love Aoi...

"Oh whoops! I love Gify, too!"

GIIH!

I chuckle at Gify's indignation at being almost forgotten. It makes my heart ache just a little less.

During dinner, I start talking about something serious.

"So far, my Hollys haven't found anyone suspicious or related to my vision, not even the brown eyes that I saw. The Shads also didn't smell anything related to illusion magic aside from the time we went to that shop or the street performers. But still, should we leave tomorrow morning? There's nothing keeping us in this town anymore."

"I'd like to seduce Rudita, but that's... kind of not that important," Alissa says with a wry smile.

"We should see Confiel. We kind of played a little too much," Roxanne says and smirks.

"Oof, if you are saying that, then yeah, we slacked off a little," Hana says.

"After all that stalking the elves did, the Darean business, the monsters and escort, even with all the breaks we had, everything was all so very stressful. I don't think we could have avoided indulging ourselves for a little while," Ciel says and shrugs.

"I thought it was fun fighting Darean," Aoi says.

"Don't take joy in killing, Aoi, it's not good for a humanoid," Ciel says.

"Oh, right... sorry..." She gives us a toothy smile.

"No need to apologize. Anyway, we could wait a day longer to make Alissa happy," Ciel adds with a wry smile.

"Awn... thanks," Alissa says and reaches over to give Ciel's hand a squeeze.

"Can you do it in just one day?" Lina asks and raises an eyebrow.

"We could try..." Alissa says and shrugs.

"We could ask Daiana if she could set it up between us," I say.

"Right. That might work. Who knows? We don't lose anything by trying." Alissa shrugs again.

"Except for our place to sleep," Lina says with a frown.

"We can always open a [Gate] to the outside of the town and sleep in Wolfy's tent," Alissa says and shrugs once again.

"Hm." Lina looks at Alissa a little disapprovingly.

I interrupt, "Anyway, so we all agree to stay for one more day? None of us feel like we're in any danger?"

They all nod, even Gify.
