In the great street plaza of the town, an emergency trial was held with the town mayor and other town officials in attendance. The agenda was for the Adventurer’s Guild to withdraw the heavy penalty clauses imposed on its affiliated adventurers. With the involvement of many residents, the adventurers successfully had the penalty clauses removed.
The town mayor urged the residents to return home now that the trial was over. However, someone amidst the crowd shouted, “They might commit fraud again. If we leave, they might become more aggressive, wouldn’t they?” This caused the plaza to urge the adventurers to pay the remainder of the regular purchase price immediately.
“We need to retrieve the ledgers and the money…” The Director of the Referral Office apologized to the mayor, explaining that it would still take time. He then hurried his subordinates and staff to examine the ledgers, warning them not to make a single Copper Coin mistake.
“Thank you.”
“You saved us.”
Amidst the adventurers and residents, McGillis and his party were thanked by some members of the Subjugation Force. It was not a monetary reward, but a simple thank you. It felt stingy, but to those who could no longer function as a Party, their future livelihood was at stake.
“We’ll have to sell the house we were using as our base.”
“I can’t afford the rent alone…”
“That must be difficult,” Fei said.
“The Real Estate Guild manages it,” Phasis whispered.
McGillis responded with a childlike reaction. Fei, standing beside him, whispered the information he knew. Seeing a grown man whispering to a child like this, the adventurers who came to express their gratitude thought, “What a kind soul. We don’t have to offer money or goods!”
With the penalty clauses gone, they didn’t want to incur any expenses, even in the form of gratitude. As for the contents of their home’s safe, they couldn’t be sure without checking, but they wished to pay nothing at all. The key to the safe was lost with the leader, or its hidden location was unknown and it had vanished. To open the safe, they would need a locksmith. Unless they were greedy, it would cost them one-tenth of the safe’s contents. If they tried to open the safe without a locksmith, the trap set for thieves would be activated, leading to death, or the contents of the safe would be teleported to another unknown safe.
“Our base of operations, huh.”
McGillis was quite, no, extremely displeased with the inn’s food. It was salty and sour. He could only swallow it with saliva, craving water as most of the eight dishes required it.
“Well then, I should be going…”
“Ah, me too…”
The ones who expressed their gratitude for being saved thanks to McGillis and his party dispersed. What remained were adventurers and residents waiting to receive their money from the Referral Office. The mayor and the officials had paperwork to do, and the Director of the Referral Office asked for assistance (personnel), which would pile up their work. So, each of them returned to their respective offices. The mayor asked his secretary to inquire if the commotion had subsided safely and headed to his workplace with him. The secretary bowed in acknowledgment and accompanied the mayor as his bodyguard.
“Fei, there was a woman among those who thanked us,” McGillis whispered.
“There was. So?” Fei whispered back.
Around them, adventurers and residents were being swept up in the mood. If they committed any criminal acts or behavior close to it, they would be beaten and subjected to a barrage of insults, essentially setting them on fire. They conversed in low voices, unnoticed.
“Let’s tail her.”
“Wait, isn’t that stalking…?”
If McGillis and his party had arrived a little sooner, would the fate of the woman being tailed have changed? Perhaps.
“The key should be…” The woman began lifting each potted plant placed in front of the entrance of her two-story rented base. This was where the spare key was hidden. “Found it! Good… otherwise, I would have had to call a locksmith.” She still couldn’t accept that she was the only one left alive. Her muttering was a sign of her fear of accepting her current situation.
“It looks like that building,” Phasis said.
“They’ve rented a nice house.”
Phasis averted his eyes from the criminal act. “How much do you think it costs per month? If they shared it with party members… maybe in the mid-Silver Coin range?”
“Hey?”
McGillis called out, “I’m going to peek through the first-floor window (through the gap in the shutters).” He wanted to confirm if the woman’s statement that her party consisted only of herself was true. “There…” (What am I doing?)
He only had the hobby of peeking when he was a child, specifically when he observed his own mother bathing. (The emptiness I felt then…) Only men who Understand would Understand. McGillis (a monster), who exuded such an aura, followed along. Stealthily.
Residents and adventurers alike were in the plaza. Those who might be operating businesses were present. However, they were already closing for the day. They were preparing for nighttime operations… targeting adventurers with warmed-up pockets. The two easily moved to the window.
“Do you have a nail or a thin shard?”
“What are you going to use that for?”
He pointed to the shutter. “To make a peephole!”
“I don’t see anything.”
“Tch, useless.”
“I’m sorry.” Phasis thought he wouldn’t have to accompany McGillis in peeking anymore.
“I’ll open it with a weapon. She’s alone anyway.”
“No, no, no—” He had come to confirm if she was truly alone! Now he was going to be forced into a home invasion… or in this case, a forced rape.
“Here we go.” With a crack, he inserted a blade into the shutter’s latch and broke it.
“Who’s there!?” The woman, who had just thanked them, appeared, alerted by the sound.
“Hey, big sister~♪ I’ve come to have my way with you~”
“…” (I’m just being dragged into this. Whatever happens from now on, it’s not my fault. Please don’t look at this innocent child who doesn’t know about evil deeds with such contempt!? Really…) Phasis and the woman locked eyes. In that brief moment, McGillis moved behind the woman, crawling on the floor, to block her escape route.
“!”
“Enjoying myself~♪”
“Wait?! What are you teaching a child?! Stop it! Don’t lift my clothes—”
“Woman! Woman!”
“I already told you, I’m not like that!?”
No one noticed the commotion within the woman’s base of operations. McGillis instructed Phasis to close the shutters and lock the entrance, steadily preparing the stage for him to have his way with the woman.
“Aaaah—”
“You can scream all you want, no one’s coming♪ You saw what happened in the plaza, right♪? Hehehe.”
McGillis stopped his childlike act and pressed the woman to the floor with unnatural strength. Skillfully, he used his teeth to tear open her clothes, especially around her chest area, exposing it. Her chest was revealed, but her breasts were not particularly large. McGillis’s carnal desire, which could not be satisfied at the brothel, was not concerned with breast size. What mattered was that it was a woman’s chest. He tried to pull out her nipple with his mouth. “I found you,” he thought, but the shy nipple retreated to the inside of her clothes.
“It’s no use hiding~”
“Don’t play with my breasts!”
“Your defiant face is cute too♪ Aaah—”
“Ouch!? You left a bite mark—Nnngh!?”
Consuming a bit of his possessed magic power, McGillis mercilessly pressed his tongue to the point where the woman’s nerves reacted excessively, sensually stimulating her. The woman desperately endured. She sent a pleading look to Phasis, unsure if he would help her. Phasis vigorously shook his head, refusing her request. “No…” The woman desperately squirmed, trying to shake off McGillis (the child).
A few minutes later.
“Haa… ha~♡”
“Hehehe, you’re breathing quite heavily♪?”
McGillis, readying himself, released the woman’s arms and reached for her lower body, which he assumed would be wet. “N-no!?” Freed, the woman’s consciousness, which had become hazy, awakened to what McGillis was about to do, and she grabbed his hand. However, his other hand did not stop. Her pants were being pulled down.
“Ugh… not loose enough!”
“The sensitivity of your clitoris is also increasing♪ I want to insert it all at once, but~~”
“Big sister can’t take it anymore♪”
“So, shall we explore your anal cavity♪?”
“?! ?”
Phasis, thinking someone might come, fled the scene. The woman’s resistance intensified, but she was easily subdued with one hand. With her movable left arm, she struck McGillis’s face and chest. The attacks produced a Poka Poka sound effect, but to McGillis, they were neither painful nor itchy.
“Eyes are off-limits, you know? Bad sister, it’s punishment time♪.” He thrust his index finger out, showed it to the woman, and forcefully inserted it into her anus.
“Ah!? Gaah, ugh.”
“Bad things are not allowed. Look! Is this the best spot♪?” He had the power of magic eyes, allowing him to see where the woman’s nerves were concentrated, yet he acted like a devil, trying to make her explicitly say it.
Afterward, before reaching the climax, the woman went wild. “Since I was attacked, it’s okay for me to attack back, right♪?” McGillis switched positions with the woman and, in the night with many voices on the street, delivered the final vaginal ejaculation finish. Phasis, keeping watch in case anyone visited, poked his head out after the woman’s moans and sounds had ceased. “Finished?”
“I feel refreshed~”
“…That’s good,” Fei replied.
“I wanted to share some with you too, you know?”
“No, I’m not really… she wasn’t my type.”
“Hmm. Not your type~♪ Oh, but you’ve also been with women in the same party and my women (orphan girls). So, perhaps…” McGillis continued to ramble on about Phasis’s preferences as they safely returned to the inn, missing dinner. However, McGillis was full.
“…” Phasis rubbed his stomach and, after excusing himself to the (monster) McGillis, crawled into bed, wanting to sleep early. McGillis, intending to go to the brothel tomorrow, got into bed later. The battle between the Guard and the King’s army had already concluded with victory thanks to the Golem, controlled by the Guard Captain. They were now dealing with the disposal of medium-sized and larger monster corpses. He was ignoring the hyena-like adventurers and greedy merchants. “If you’re throwing it away, give it to me? I’ll use it as spending money.” Although the unit commanders repeatedly dismissed their words, it was ineffective. Rather, it was creating a vicious cycle, attracting more scavengers. He wanted to drive them away with the Golem, but its remaining magic power was low after the fierce battle with the King. Furthermore, he didn’t want to use the Golem for such a trivial reason.
