Chapter 122: Unexpected Conflic (1/2)

Was she hurt by my hesitation, or did she suddenly remember something hurtful? Sh*t, I had no experience with this sort of situation…where do I even put my hands?

This bit of clumsiness didn’t escape her eyes as she giggled amidst her sniffling. She lowered her head and without wiping off her tears, took a few steps back and said: “Like this is fine, this distance is fine…”

As she said that, she continued her emotional roller-coaster of crying and laughing; however, she no longer tried to approach me.

Was she belittling herself? I guess if a fat ugly chick were to force herself on me…I would want to kill myself as well. Even if Duran was handsome, it still felt bad as long as it wasn’t consensual.

Should I give her a hug and tell her it’s alright? Wait, that would make it sound like we had a special relationship though….and it sounded so hypocritical as well. Would I be any different from that bast*rd if I did that?

Besides I didn’t even have a pee pee…wouldn’t it make me seem kind of immoral to talk about that stuff now?…No that wasn’t right, I meant to say, shouldn’t I at least have some moral standards if I wished to start a harem? Oh…why am I even talking about standards when I’m trying to start a harem?! Damn it, could someone please tell me what to do?!

However, in the midst of my delusions, the problem solved itself the moment Regine squeezed herself into our already small enough tent, and fell asleep without a word on my lap without her mask on. Was this…the legendary lap pillow?

Regine’s hair felt slightly wet to the touch, she probably just took a bath…didn’t she just take one three hours ago though? So why was her hair still wet? Did she take another shower again?

Speaking of which, she was a rather silent character most of the time, but who knew that she could be so considerate at the right moments; to think she could do something so charitable. From her stiff body and twitching long eyebrows, I could tell that she wasn’t that comfortable about this either.

However, after ten seconds of lying on my lap without being chased away, she finally calmed down; she gently turned her body and hugged my right leg with both of her hands. This posture…she almost seemed like a baby…

Seeing my panicked reaction, Ancarin gave a sniffling laugh as she wiped her tears dry and without saying another word, took over my other leg; hugging it in the same fetal position as Regine.

If all of you are sleeping here, then what about our carriage? If the matter about Duran was found out we…forget it, as long as you guys were happy.

This was the first time I had ever slept with a beautiful girl other than Nicole, yet I felt no lust towards them…only…pity. They had suffered so much already, if possible, I hope that they could live a happy life from now on.

Not knowing how to react, we ended up spending the night in this manner without saying another word, until finally we all fell asleep unknowingly.

The next day, I woke up to find both of them already gone and both my legs numb from a night of being used as a pillow. Thankfully, it wasn’t so serious that I couldn’t move.

As if nothing had happened last night, Ancarin prepared breakfast for me as usual while Regine quietly checked her gear. After ensuring that Duran was still safe and secured, I made way towards George to enquire about the day’s mission.

If everything else went as planned, Dawson would arrive with a large group of bandits to exact his revenge. The spot we chose was a route he had to take in order to reach Plateau Village. While there were other routes as well, this was the nearest; while the others required a large detour on his part. As such, we merely had to wait here for them to take the bait.

Yet despite waiting past a third of the day, the bandits had not show up. Instead we found several people from the other villages. Their numbers were not many, with a total of over ten and all of them were injured. Though they weren’t serious injured, due to the fact that they had to rush over to us, they were deathly pale by the time they reached us.

Some of them were let go on purpose by the bandits while others were those fortunate enough to escape right when the attack started. While their survival was fortunate, it also brought with them a terrifying piece of news.

The bandits hadn’t followed George’s plan, and instead attacked the other three villages first; kidnapping all of the villagers…taking into account the time they needed to move the kidnapped villagers, they should be arriving in Plateau Village soon.

George and the other three-stars nearly had a heart attack upon hearing this piece of news.
