Chapter 205 (1/2)

Slave Sister

My days of dungeoneering in the city of Paipan passed quickly.

I’d wake up early in the morning and head straight to the dungeon where I’d kill monsters with the prisoner party until sunset. This typical fantasy rpg life lasted for a few days before I had finally achieved my goal. All the gold I needed was lined up on a table.

I’ve earned the promised amount for Oman.

“Thank you, everyone, for helping me reach my goal.”

I was seated at one of the tables in the Adventurers Guild.

Every other seat at the table was occupied by one of the escaped prisoners. Every day since I arrived they’ve been accompanying me into the dungeon. We just finished our latest venture into the crater and just arrived back at the Guild.

“I’m just glad everyone made it out safely.”

The slutty witch showed me a gentle smile.

Even though we spent hours in that dungeon every day, I wasn’t able to see her pee even once. If there was one regret I have over the past few days, it would be that. Every other aspect of conquering the dungeon went smoothly.

“Are you really okay with this? I’ll be taking half of the gold.”

“We wouldn’t have even been able to make the half we’re getting if we didn’t have you. You deserve that much.”

“Still, I’d like to say that I’m grateful.”

It was an offer I’d happily accept.

I did feel some guilt taken half of the gold for myself, but I wasn’t going to reject it. I put my share of the gold into a leather bag as it was too much to fit into my usual pouch and slung it over my shoulder. It was heavier than I expected.

This is the weight of an untainted hymen.

“Are you going to return to Dragon City now?”

“Yes, that was my plan. Unless there was some other business you might need me for.”

We talked about various things as we explored the dungeon together and one of those things was the existence of Dragon City. However, I didn’t tell them the whole truth. Instead, I said I became indebted to the Baron of the city and was now living there while working to repay that debt.

“No, there was nothing like that. We were planning on leaving as well. It’s just that we don’t plan on returning for a while and when I think about saying goodbye, I feel a little lonely.”

“I see. Well, I can certainly understand that feeling.”

They must have enough to cover their travel expenses by now. They probably only stayed as long as they did for my own sake. That’s why they so willingly gave me half of the reward. They had no reason to stay other than to essentially keep me company.

Despite being viewed by the Penny Empire as a bunch of escaped criminals, they’re actually good people.

“Well, maybe we’ll meet again.”

After remaining silent until now, the Great Thief muttered this.

Perhaps he’s bad at saying goodbye.

“It would be nice if we could meet somewhere better than jail or a dungeon.”

“Haha, sounds good.”

I don’t think their situation is anything to laugh about, but with the gold they now have they should be fine. They have great teamwork and I’m sure they’ll be able to find a better life.

“….”

I wonder where they’re going.

I’m a little worried.

But it wouldn’t be cool if I showed them I’m worried about them so I’ll remain quiet for now.

“…hm? Is something wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

After making some more small talk, I stood from the table and got ready to leave.

I can’t spend anymore time talking. If Oman leaves while I’m away, all of my efforts will be wasted. I doubt he’d leave without trying to get in contact with me first, but he’s also a businessman and his time is valuable.

“I’m sorry, but I really need to get going.”

Then the escaped prisoners said their goodbyes.

“I’m sure we’ll meet again, someday.”

“Be seeing you.”

It was more emotional than I expected considering we had only been together a few short days.

“Yeah, thank you for everything up until now.”

I was the first to leave the Guild and immediately took to the air as I emerged through the doors.

It took me an hour to reach my destination from the city of Paipan.
