Sins Paradise: Domination System

by Little Merger

Horizon Online. It was a death Virtual Reality MMORPG game where people had classes, hunted monsters, got riches, and fought similar players. I, the strongest player in Horizon Online, managed to kill the last boss and expected to return to my home. But after defeating the last boss, I was given a bonus stage, where I could choose one game of my choice. Without much thought, I chos

Tristan, or now Isabelle, cried loudly while burying her face in my chest.

The dam in her emotion exploded, and the sadness, fear, and every kind of mixed emotion she buried deep inside came out at once.

I let her hug me, squeezing me tight. Her 70 STR wasn't something to be looked down upon. And added to the bonus status she got from her weapon, her hug managed to inflict pain on me.

However, I stayed still and caressed her soft onyx hair while whispering softly.

"I am here. I will always be here."

"Aaaahh… sob… Arthur…!"

"You don't need to be scared. I will stay here with you."

I was the worst. Why didn't I realize it sooner? Why did I hesitate to confront her? Did I get scared to confront my past unconsciously? Did I want to forget and leave those things behind just like I initially planned?

Yes. I just wanted to run away. I wanted to die in that last dungeon and never thought I would be able to defeat Ghost Marionette.

But I was here. And now, Tristan was also here, although she looked way different from before. Maybe this was fate? Or was it how that person behind the system gave me a bonus?

Anyway, I was happy to be reunited with her once again. And this time, I would make sure she wouldn't get lost from my sight.

It took a few minutes before she stopped crying.

"Are you okay now?"

"… Yes." She nodded weakly, erasing her tears with her sleeve. After she was done, the cold expression on her face returned. "Get away from me now. I won't cry again."

"Hahaha, alright."

I released her from my hug and stood up, using Purification in the meantime to wipe her remaining tears and the trace of tears on my face. She turned her head away and tightly held the pendant hanging on her chest.

Truly, how could I not see it? She was really the spitting image of Tristan, even in her habit of holding her pendant when she was happy or nervous.

Probably because her personality was the total opposite of hers and she looked different. Even her chest area became more bountiful…

'Let's not talk about that. She's really mad every time I tease her about her size.'

I gave her time alone to calm herself down while pulling [Caliburn] from the wall. The blade still looked pristine and didn't have any chips, even though it embedded deeply into a hard rock. Truly an exceptional blade.

"Arthur…"

Isabelle called out to me weakly, and I turned around, giving her a warm smile.

"What's up?"

"You're really Arthur, right?" She asked, standing up groggily. She almost lost balance, and I stepped forward to help her, but she raised her hand to stop me. "I can stand alone."

"Alright then." I sighed after looking at how headstrong she was.

The girls around me were all a handful. Most of them had their own personalities and needs. And Tristan, back in the past, didn't want to show her weakness to me. It seemed like that part of her personality still remained.

"So… You're really Arthur? The same crybaby Arthur back in Horizon Online?" She repeated her question. This time, with an extra insult as if she wanted to get back to me from seeing her crying earlier.

Crybaby Arthur. That was such a nostalgic nickname I had when I was a newbie.

"Please, don't call me that. It's a bit embarrassing." I scratched my cheek and smiled wryly. "Besides, I haven't been called that for a few years now."

That memory was truly embarrassing. A crybaby… I would die out of shame if anyone found out about that nickname in this world. Anyone except her, that was.

"So you're real…" Isabelle muttered, looking up at me. "Somehow, I can't believe it."

"How can you not? I am here, standing in front of you. What do you need me to prove again? This?"

I took out my silver pendant from my inventory and opened the case, revealing my name carved roughly by a knife.

"This should prove it, no?" I said. "Are you truly Tristan?"

"Yes." Isabelle nodded in confirmation. Her face was filled with relief. "I was Tristan." She continued.

Was… I guess that was how she wanted to say that she was Isabelle now and had thrown Tristan's name away. It was a bit sad thinking about how she stopped being Tristan. But, well… it was her choice, and she knew what was best for her.

Then, her expression suddenly turned into horror as she clutched her pendant. "But… Why are you here? How could you be here, Arthur?"

"What do you mean?"

I was confused by her question. I meant it was clear that she was curious about why I was here, but her expression certainly said something else, like it was bad if I was here.

"That's also my question, Tri– Isabelle. How are you here?"

"That's… quite a long story." She replied, looking down at the ground and holding her arm. Then she raised her head again, looking straight into my eyes. "Tell me how you got here first, then I will tell you about my story."

"Alright."

There was nothing to hide in my story.

If she wanted to hear it, then I would tell her. It was a cheap price to know how she got here. The biggest mystery I wanted to know and bug me that night.

Then I took out a cloth, lay it on the floor, and sat on it. I patted the space in front of me, gesturing Isabelle to sit, and so she did.

We faced each other, and I began with my fight with Ghost Marionette. At that point, it had been 2 years since she went missing, so she didn't know what I did. But my history wasn't that important. At least, I thought so.

"You…"

Isabelle's eyes widened when I finished my story about how I was granted a bonus stage by that almighty someone and my theory about how that someone could create a world as he pleased.

It was natural for her to be surprised by that truth. Not even I would believe such an unbelievable thing unless I saw it directly.

However…

"You fought the last boss yourself? Are you crazy?"

Isabelle was truly Tristan. The focus she took from my story wasn't on the mysterious person behind the system but on my safety.

"Hahahaha."

"You are crazy… Why are you laughing? Did you want to die so badly? I can kill you right now if you want to."

I just laughed at that because it was so nostalgic. Her cold demeanor was… nowhere to be seen. What was left was just that old, nostalgic Tristan I knew.

"My bad… It's just… It had been 2 years since we met. I thought… I thought I couldn't meet you again."

My voice died down in my last sentence as I cast my gaze down. No normal people would've thought they could meet a person they thought was dead after 2 years.

"2 years… so that's how long for you." Isabelle's weak voice entered my ears as a sad smile washed over her face. "I've heard your story and understand your side. It's my turn."

That was right. I had told her, and it was her turn. I was worried and curious. What had she been through to the point she had that (Severe Trauma) written beside her name?

"I'll try to talk, but don't be surprised if I suddenly look pained and almost faint. I'll do my best so that won't happen. And I can't promise that I will be able to tell you everything now."

That was worrying. I narrowed my eyes at her, but she just gave me that sad smile without explaining anything.

No, she was about to explain it, so I should listen to her, just like what she did to me.

This cave was silent. The only thing I could hear was our breath. And then, the silence was replaced by Isabelle's soft voice.

"Let's start after we parted ways, Arthur. Let's see… I think it was 12 years ago for me."

"I went on a hidden quest I found alone, leaving you and the others."

Isabelle began with a soft tone.

"The quest sounded easy, but I never expected I would encounter that thing."

I didn't say anything and only listened.

'That thing?'

Whatever that was, Isabelle's body was trembling, and she held her arms tightly when she mentioned it. Maybe that was the source of her trauma.

No matter how much I wanted to console her and tell her, everything would be fine now that I was here.

But that wouldn't help her. She needed to face her trauma by herself. I was only here to support her slightly and give her the push she needed.

So I waited. It didn't take long before she continued.

"I went to a Level 80 dungeon with a party. It's not just a random party. You know them too, the 3 girls' party called Valkyrie Squad."

"I know them." I nodded in confirmation.

Valkyrie Squad was a party composed of Tristan's female friends. They were close to each other and always raided some high-Level dungeons together, making them have pretty good teamwork.

And 2 years ago… they suddenly disappeared with Tristan.

'So it's because of this mission?'

"The dungeon was… a bit different from the usual. I was the vanguard at that time, and nothing managed to get past me. There were only low-Level monsters in a few first rooms, and we advanced confidently because of how easy it was, thinking it was a free quest."

"The exploration continued smoothly with me as a leader."

The story continued. She told me about dungeon diving, just a normal one that I knew of. Fighting off sudden attacks from monsters, disarming traps, and making a bed.

Everything in her story was normal. Nothing stood out from the others except the monsters' Level increased at a fast speed instead of going up slowly as they went deeper.

And another strange thing happened.

"The monster's attributes suddenly changed even though the environment stayed the same." Isabelle's expression turned serious with a hint of fear written on it. "They became… ferocious and attacked us without any fear."

"Their attributes changed?" I narrowed my eyes questioningly. "How exactly did they change?"

"Their fire attribute turned into a water attribute in a lava environment. And our equipment was focused on fire resistance and not water, making us vulnerable to it. A Salamander becomes an Ice Lizard."

"… Continue." I gestured with my hand.

Strange. As she said, a dungeon had an environment and attributes. The monsters dwelling inside usually had the same attributes as the environment in that dungeon. For a water attribute monster to live in a lava environment was just… suicide.

However, Isabelle said a Salamander became an Ice Lizard, a monster of its opposite attribute. Not only that, it managed to survive in that place.

"We didn't think much at first." Isabelle clenched her fist and gritted her teeth in frustration and anger.

"That's until we went deeper and almost reached the location that our quest asked us to visit. Unlike our expectation of being greeted by another hot lava environment when we arrived, a giant lake spread wide in front of us, leaving only a few parts of the ground we could use as footing there."

"A lake?!"

Now that was a different kind of thing altogether. A dungeon that changed its attribute at the end of the stage?

"That's just like the final dungeon…" I muttered out loud, holding my chin in deep thought.

Isabelle looked at me curiously.

Come to think of it, Isabelle didn't know anything about the final dungeon except what I told her earlier. And I only explained to her how I raided it alone without explaining its layout.

At least this became a nice stop to make her calm down a little bit. But her story needed to continue and I shouldn't say anything anymore.

"Sorry, you can continue."

"You should explain that to me later." She said, narrowing her eyes.

"I will. But I want to hear your story right now, and what do you mean by it's 12 years for you."

"I am getting there. This part is something I don't want to remember anymore, but… I want to tell you about this."

Isabelle heaved a long sigh, collecting her courage to tell me.

'Ah, this must be the biggest reason behind her trauma.' I thought, leaning slightly to hear her better. Of course, we were still in the cave, so I was looking at my radar while I was listening to her. 'Nothing strange or something that can interrupt her is nearby.'

"The girls from Valkyrie Squad didn't lower their guard, nor did I. We knew that we were inside the dungeon, but… The lake was peaceful and serene. My Mana Senses detected nothing, and Zeta's Presence Detection also found nothing. And so, we decided to take a rest."

"We enjoyed it. Yes… We enjoyed the situation even though we knew we were inside a dangerous Level 80 dungeon with monsters that could escape our detections. We… lowered our guard."

That was something fatal. I narrowed my eyes, a bit disappointed in Isabelle. She was supposed to be aware… Yes, supposed to.

I changed my mind after I heard her next sentence.

"The lake… It's a magic lake that could cloud our judgment. We realized that too late. And when Delta realized it… Zeta and Beta were no more. Their bodies were gone."

Isabelle's body trembled uncontrollably. She tried to hug herself, but it didn't work. Alone, she wouldn't be able to continue to face her fear. However, I was here.

Slowly, not to make her startled, I got closer and closer until I sat right beside her. Finally, our shoulders touched each other, and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and brought her closer to me.

"What happened next? I am trying to help you, but I won't be able to do it without hearing your problem." I whispered softly. "You can trust me, right? I even beat the last boss, Ghost Marionette, alone. Let alone the monster in front of you, I can even defeat an entire army of it if it's to protect you."

"You're safe with me."

I didn't need more words to comfort her. Isabelle slowly leaned her body against me, surrendering her weight against my shoulder.

"It's calming." She muttered. "And nostalgic." She continued.

Her trembling reduced considerably, but I could still feel she was scared by her fast heartbeat.

Just like me, or even worse, she wanted to forget her past. But she confronted it today because I pushed her. I… felt bad, but it was necessary. Living in fear wasn't pleasant, I realized.

If this moment of pain could help her live better in the future, I would push harder while confronting my own past too.

"Arthur, do you believe me?" She looked over her shoulder with a wavering gaze straight into my eyes.

Answering her with an unflinching gaze, I nodded. "I do. So you can continue." I said. "What kind of monster is it?"

"A big one," Isabelle replied shortly. "A monster that looked like a beautiful human female with octopus legs. Under that was a big mouth… filled with rows of sharp teeth. Zeta and Beta's bloodied, butchered bodies were inside that mouth."

The trembling returned. I held her tighter, making sure that I was right by her side.

"Its laugh was eerie. I still heard it inside my mind, in my nightmare. Every time, every night, I thought it should be me who died that time. My armor saved me. It got destroyed, but it saved me. And… and…"

This went in a bad direction. Isabelle began to blame herself, and that was really bad for her mental health. So I circled my arms around her head, pushing her close to me.

"It's not your fault," I whispered the word people in her position wanted to hear the most. "It was my fault."

For not stopping you, I added inside my mind.

It stopped. Her breathing almost returned to normal.

"It wasn't." She said, pushing herself away from my embrace. "It was my fault. And it was that monster's fault."

"It's Scylla's fault."

"Tristan…" Her name unconsciously escaped my lips.

"Don't worry. I am fine now. That monster is no more." Isabelle tried to smile with all she got and got up. "But don't expect the old me to return. I… can't be the cheery Tristan anymore. I am just Isabelle, the empty husk."

She stood up and stretched her arms up.

"It's refreshing." She looked at me with a masked smile. "Sorry. In the end, I can't finish my story. I will tell you if we have time in the future."

That was unfair.

Why did it have to be that monster? And why did I confront her today?

Because the coincidence was really scary.

No, was it really just a coincidence if something like this happened?

In the first place, did coincidence exist? I meant… I was given a chance to redeem my past just after I found out that Isabelle was the same person as Tristan.

'Sorry, Isabelle.' I stood up with the help of [Caliburn, looking at Isabelle stopped near the entrance where I came from earlier. 'I will cure your trauma no matter what you say.'

My lips curled into a smile as I walked toward her. It was best if she didn't know about it yet. Yes, I would keep it a secret from her. About my plan.

'Feel free to hate me later if you want to. I want you to live happily in this bonus stage and not worry about being scared of monsters anymore.'

Our stories hadn't finished yet. I still didn't know what she meant by 12 years, and I hadn't told her about my journey after she was gone.

We still hid something from each other, but… It was enough for now. Curing her trauma would come first.

'I will need Garcia's help.'

We exited the cave together and went back to our lodging.

Just like what I had expected before, Isabelle was truly directionally challenged. Not too bad to the point she wouldn't know a direction, but she had already forgotten the way back and almost disappeared into the maze.

Thankfully, I could guide her while thinking about something else.

When we arrived at our lodging, Garcia had already woken up and cleaned herself. She was inside her own room instead of mine, whispering that she tried to clean my room but still wasn't able to get rid of the smell because there was no air freshener in there.

I said it was okay and asked her to accompany Isabelle. Taking our eyes off her right now was a bit dangerous. She might look calm outside, but I had pushed her too far to make her tell the story she wanted to forget.

At least I managed to find a clue about the source of her trauma and could probably fix it. For now, I just needed time.

What I wanted or needed to do in the future wasn't affected by the fact that Isabelle was Tristan. I just wouldn't actively pursue her, and it was too late to act like a goodie two shoes in front of her after what I did to Rania in the training ground that day.

As a matter of fact, I still wasn't sure what to take on this matter. I did love Tristan in the past, but that feeling had faded and only resurfaced a while ago. If she didn't mind me having a lot of girls, I would then pursue her.

'I need to remember that I am in my bonus stage right now. I will cure her trauma and try to confess once.'

That was enough for me to part from my past. Still, I was hoping she would accept the new me at that time.

Night had arrived.

We went to have dinner at the tavern in the lobby of our lodging. The atmosphere was rowdy, with many sailors from various Races drinking together around one big table.

To avoid confrontation, we chose a small table at the corner of the room, near the stairs that led us upstairs to the lodging area.

The dinner was pleasant, but Isabelle kept silent and put up her cold expression. She had reverted back to her normal state. This normal state was fine. At least I knew she was okay and didn't push herself.

And when the dinner was over, I put down the fork and knives and looked at Garcia and Isabelle.

"Can I trust you girls with something tomorrow?" I began. Their attention was focused on me, so I continued. "I want to conduct an investigation alone, and I need you girls to map this port city for me, noting some places that can be used as hiding spots for some shady people."

"Why?" Isabelle asked, "Is it related to the mission, or…"

"It's related to the mission." I immediately replied, looking at her with a smile. "And it won't involve any monsters either. What I want you to find are people."

"Someone like those people from before, Sir Arthur?"

Garcia was fast to understand what I talked about. She had seen those pirate siblings before, so she understood what kind of people I was trying to find.

"Yes. Report to me if you find any prospect that fits their criteria. Also, don't involve the church. It's our private investigation. We will move subtly."

"For what reason?"

Once again, Isabelle asked curiously.

"Just as I explained before, kingdom Knights are also here to investigate the strangeness. We don't want to get involved with them, and I certainly don't want King Cassius to get news that I am here to use me. He hasn't paid the debt he owed me yet." I replied, smiling softly.

I still remembered his promise. The one he failed to deliver and made me solve that problem myself even after we had that agreement.

Another reason was I wanted to use this chance to move separately from Garcia and Isabelle as I had something to do.

Rounding up those thugs who would make the first event troublesome could be left to the two of them. If it wasn't against monsters, Isabelle was a force to be reckoned with. And Garcia wasn't weak either, seeing her status and high Level.

Meanwhile, I would deal with the second most troublesome thing: those pirate siblings.

"From my investigation with Garcia yesterday, I found out something near the port. That's why I wanted to investigate it alone tonight until tomorrow."

As I finished my sentence, I looked at Isabelle and continued.

"We should divide our tasks to make this investigation easier. And before you misunderstand, I want you to report to me the locations you think are suspicious and not destroy the people in that location. If you were attacked, just round them up and call the kingdom knights or the guards, okay?"

"But you said…"

Before Isabelle could finish, I interrupted her.

"I did say not to get involved with the kingdom knight, but that's only for our investigation. They won't know that you're a church knight, and you can always say that they attacked Garcia, a nun, and subdued them in self-defense."

Seeing both of them nodding their heads in understanding, I nodded back and smiled. My instructions should be clear enough this time.

An on-site investigation was needed for something like this. I could see many suspicious spots on the map on my radar, but I couldn't make sure they were the spot those thugs used to hang around.

My plan required me to find some of those thugs who would be interested in joining the pirate siblings' scam.

That was why I asked Isabelle and Garcia to scout the area. Besides… That would also give me time to move alone and prepare what I needed for my future plan.

"And so, good night, girls. I might not return tomorrow, so hope you have a good dream."

I stood up after leaving some gold coins for them to pay for their meals. I waved at them while walking out of the tavern, putting on my [Shadow Cape] to infiltrate some places.

No one would be able to touch them in that tavern, even if I left them alone. Even though her cheery personality was gone, Isabelle was still the Tristan I knew. If someone dared to get close to her, then…

'I feel bad for that person.'

Anyway, I made my way to my destination. I had already put a marker on the pirate sibling's dots, and currently, both of them were away from each other. It was my chance to score a point with one of them.

The man, Crane, was currently in a building deep inside a dark alleyway. That was probably an illegal brothel, seeing how there was another dot overlapped with his at the same spot and in the same room.

'That guy is having sex with a prostitute, huh?'

And the woman, Cecil, was currently in a tavern not far away from the port where they docked their ship. Many dots surrounded her, but none was close enough to touch them.

From the position of the dots surrounding her, she probably drank with her friends or some sailors, building relationships for her scam to run.

My target was decided then. Meeting a person who was having sex in a brothel was something any normal person would avoid doing. And so, I decided to stalk Cecil, the female minotaur.

Besides, she was only drinking in a tavern and was easy to approach in that manner. I'd rather follow a woman rather than a man.

'And she's also my target anyway, so I'll use this chance to get close to her.'

In Sins Paradise, it was mentioned that a pirate was the one who caused the strange monster's activities with a magic item.

The only pirate that was related to the event was Crane and Cecil, so I planned to infiltrate into their ranks to find what they had been hiding.

'And the best way to infiltrate is to act like an innocent boy and pretend to be obedient to Cecil. I remembered she wanted an errand boy, so she will get one.'

And the errand boy she wanted was probably also one she slept with. I could train her to be unable to live without me again even when I was infiltrating. That was a win for me.

After deciding, I used the [Shadow Cape] effect and disappeared into a shadow.

A/N: I tried to write sailors tongue, it will only be in a few chapters so don't worry about getting confused when reading it :)

The tavern near the port was the biggest one in this city due to how many sailors and fishermen always worked near the port.

It was called 'Mermaid's Rest,' and its building was made out of strong woods similar to the one used to build most ships here.

Not only did the atmosphere scream, 'Sailors are welcome here!' but the rowdy interior also enhanced that image.

The air was thick with the familiar aroma of ale and the tantalizing scent of freshly cooked seafood. The warm glow of flickering candlelight illuminated the room, casting dancing shadows on the wooden beams that crisscrossed the ceiling.

The walls of the tavern were adorned with nautical artifacts - weathered ship wheels, nets filled with seashells, and faded paintings of legendary sea creatures. A skilled bard in the corner played soft sea shanties and folk tunes, their melodic tunes blending harmoniously with the bustling atmosphere.

In the center of the tavern, a cluster of tables had been pushed together, forming a makeshift gathering spot.

Sailors and fishermen, their faces weathered by the sea and adorned with scruffy beards, were engaged in lively banter and raucous tales of their nautical exploits. They especially talked about the strange monsters' movement lately, complaining about how they were afraid to set sails.

The clinking of glass mugs and occasional cheer filled the air, creating a vibrant atmosphere that exuded camaraderie and adventure. It was nostalgic to me as I often visited a tavern with my former comrades to have drinks after raiding a dungeon.

Naturally, I wasn't here just for a simple drink. I was here because of someone. I looked at my target as I found a seat at the bar, enhancing my senses not to miss anything.

Seated in the midst of the boisterous crowd was a Minotaur beastwoman, her imposing tall figure stood out even amongst those sailors. She was wearing a black bikini with a cape over her shoulder and a dark miniskirt similar to her bikini.

In her hands, she cradled a large, frothy mug of cold beer, her eyes twinkling, reflecting the warm light as she spoke to the sailors around her.

"No need to fret 'bout sailin' to another port or castin' yer nets for a good catch. Our protection be top-notch, mark me words! Captain Crane be as skilled as they come, and me spearmanship can send them Level 40 monsters to Davy Jones' locker with ease!"

"And what's more, the fee of 5000 Gold Coins for each ship's protection would be a bargain compared to the fancy Elf mercenaries, don't ye agree?"

A business smile plastered on her face as she eyed those sailors who listened to her offer while nodding in agreement. Her way of talking was different from what I heard back in the captain's cabin. She was like those sailors, blending in right in the middle of them.

"Aye, that's a right steal compared to them fancy Elf mercenaries! They are demanding a hundred Gold Coins for every hour of their watch, and we need a good ten of 'em scurvy Elves to keep our ships safe. But tell me, matey, why be ye so confident ye can hold the line all on yer lonesome, eh?"

One of the experienced sailors asked Cecil with narrowed eyes. The cigarette in his mouth puffed out thick smoke.

The minotaur girl grinned.

"Listen up, matey! I ain't got nothin' to prove except the tales of me fellow sailors. We've safeguarded nine ships, a good two hours sailin' distance, all the way to Ampat Port City. If that doesn't convince ye of our skills, well then, I reckon ye ain't the customer I'm lookin' for, mister."

She drank her booze at once and slammed the empty mug back to the table with a loud bam, causing it to shake.

"So weigh anchor and set sail if ye must, but don't come cryin' to me when the seas turn rough!"

The bearded sailor laughed out loud at Cecil's open provocation.

"Ye be spoutin' off like a true saltwater lass, ain't ye? Got some fight in ye, I reckon! Show me what ye got, lass, and prove ye ain't just a pretty face and big titties. If ye bests me man here, I'll be trustin' yer strength without a doubt."

He pointed at a buff man beside him. His ripped shirt didn't hide his arms' muscles. They were those so-called bodybuilders' muscles, and the size of his arms was twice mine. And here I was, confident with my body.

"Aye, let's get to it."

Cecil didn't back off from the challenge. She replied almost immediately and put her elbow on the table after clearing the food and drinks in front of her.

"Step up, ye big lubber, and prove yer strength to this big sister! But mark me words, don't come whinin' and beggin' for a drop of milk if ye find yerself on the losin' end of this bout!"

"Don't be underestimatin' me, ye big titties." The burly man spat back, put his large elbow on the table, and held Cecil's hand. "I be lovin' me rum and beer more than a mermaid loves the sea! Milk ain't for me."

The man had a serious expression as he flexed his muscle, ready to destroy Cecil. The bearded sailor stood up between them, holding their hands to be a referee and be the one to start the arm wrestling.

In the meantime, a waitress approached me while bringing an ale. Her long braided hair swayed left and right as she made her way toward me, and her large breasts also moved in accordance. She wore an open one-piece with an apron that didn't hide her cleavage.

"Here is your drink, mister." She bent forward, flashing me. Her lips curled up, bringing her cheek with cute freckles up, and she winked at me. "It's in the house for the first-timer. And if you want to, I can bring you a snack. Special for a handsome man like you."

Well, I guessed that I couldn't hide my handsome features even with my hood on. So I smiled at her, making her blush.

"Thanks," I said. "I appreciate it."

Her face now turned red as she hid behind the tray she used to bring the ale earlier.

"A-ah, yes. I will bring something shortly. Please wait a minute!"

And she ran away, leaving me alone once again. I got a free drink, something I had never expected but still appreciated. This went well with the heated atmosphere in the middle of this tavern.

The show of strength had started with the bearded man's signal.

"Begin!"

Both sides exerted their strengths at once, trying to overpower the other. Cecil still had a relaxed smile, while the man seemingly had a hard time when the vein in his hand popped up and became visible.

How big your muscles were didn't affect your strength in this world. If you had a big body but low STR, you could be defeated by a scrawny individual with high STR.

But it was strange. Cecil clearly had a low-Level, probably only 30 to 40.

While one's body didn't reflect one's STR, usually we could see that person was an individual with high STR growth if they had a big body.

A Beastman also usually had high STR growth, so I didn't see anything strange until now.

'They are in a cahoot.' I thought as I noticed Cecil's feet hitting the man's shin under the table.

At that moment, the man suddenly struggled to use his strength, and then…

Bam!

Cecil pushed the man's arm to the table, causing him to grunt in pain. The minotaur girl had the widest grin on her face as she laughed.

"Hahaha! Victory be mine! Turns out ye be nothin' but a scurvy sea slug, ye big lug!"

"Tsk!" The big, burly man just clicked his tongue and stood up. "Captain, I be takin' me self for a breath o' fresh sea air."

"A-Aye… Don't get lost in the waves, lad."

The bearded sailor couldn't say anything more. He was so shocked that his man was defeated by the big-tittied minotaur girl and looked at her with surprise.

"Looks like ye ain't all mouth and no sail!"

"Aye, that's the spirit, matey! Now, let's talk business. How does me offer sound to ye?"

"Fair winds, lass. I'll be acceptin' yer offer."

Both of them shook hands with each other, completing the deal.

'It's time for me to move.'

I stood up from my seat and approached Cecil, who was discussing business with the bearded sailor. The sailor seemed to have a job carrying some items to Tiga Port City.

'It's perfect.'

Now I had an excuse to get closer to her. The waitress returned from the back and looked at me with a confused gaze while holding a tray full of snacks.

I gestured to her to put it on my table first as I put down my hood. Her face turned red after I smiled at her and turned away to look at the minotaur girl.

She had noticed me walking toward her already and couldn't avert her gaze from my face. Her lips curled up in a wide smile as she licked her lips seductively.

That kind of gaze was familiar already. Many nuns looked at me with that predatory gaze, wanting to immediately push me down.

'I guess not even a pirate can resist my charm.' I lamented inside and stopped in front of Cecil.

"What can I do for ye, ye fine lookin' sailor?" She asked.

"I am interested in the protection," I answered with a bright smile. "And I am not a sailor, unfortunately. I just need protection in your ship until I am sure that I am fine." I continued.

"Ah, not a sailor, I see." Cecil reverted back to talking normally. "Sorry, lad. But we're booked already. It's a shame since I like your face, but business comes first, you see?" She pointed at the bearded sailor, who looked at me with a death stare.

"I don't see a problem with that. Just let me tag along with your ship." I replied, still having the same smile. "I can pay you a lot."

"Oh?" The minotaur girl's brows raised high, clearly interested in my offer. "Maybe if you can follow one condition."

"Sure," I responded without waiting for her to explain what that condition was.

It wasn't important for me, as I only needed a reason to board her ship until it set sail. Once I was aboard and we were on the sea, I could continue with my next plan.

"As long as you protect me."

"Alright!" She exclaimed, standing tall in front of me with the widest grin. "Welcome aboard, matey."

"It's my pleasure."

'Infiltration successful. I hope the girls won't mess up with their job.'

After letting Cecil finish her talk with the bearded sailor and sign a contract between them, she brought me to the corner of the tavern, at a rather private space with a bead curtain.

I brought my ale and the snacks given by the waitress with me and ordered another mug of ale for Cecil.

"You surprisingly know how to act around women, huh?"

The minotaur girl commented after the waitress from earlier brought ale for Cecil, and I offered kind words and extra gold for her.

"I am not that used to girls," I replied to Cecil while scratching my cheek.

"Lies." She spat out, frowning slightly. "But then, I don't mind. I took a liking to you, especially your fast decision without hearing the condition I have in mind. I don't know whether you're naïve or just desperate."

"Thanks, I guess?" I tilted my head slightly. "And I am desperate for protection for a strong person like you."

"I can see that." Cecil grinned and grabbed the mug. "I assure you. As long as you follow me, you will be safe."

"I see! I made the right decision then!"

Acting like an innocent boy like this made me want to hurl. However, it was necessary.

Whatever secret they were hiding wouldn't be something they shared with outsiders. As for her condition, I already guessed it from her conversation with Crane this afternoon.

Cecil mentioned she wanted to dominate a man, to use him as an errand boy. So the chance of her condition for my protection being me to be her errand boy and making me follow her instruction was high.

'I will just pretend to be it, though. I won't follow her order except for maybe some sexual ones, which is a probability. Letting her be on top of me might be fun too.'

We talked about various things afterward. It was mostly Cecil boasting about her strength and flexing about what she could do. My focus was on her large breasts, which were even bigger than Garcia's due to her tall and big stature.

Her bikini only made them look enticing and interesting. I wondered whether she could lactate, seeing the minotaur was also a cow, but I shook that from my thoughts.

'She probably can. I remembered one of her CGs in Sins Paradise had her boobs body and tanned skin covered in milk, not semen.'

That only made me more interested in her and put up this innocent handsome boy act that every woman who wanted to dominate men liked. And I knew Cecil liked me from how she looked at me.

It was just a matter of time and made her drunk before she took me to her ship and brought me to sail with her. That time was faster than I imagined, though.

"Let's head to my ship before my bloody brother comes back from the whorehouse."

Cecil suddenly stood up after she finished her fourth mug. Probably she drank a lot more than that and was now drunk. Her cheek was slightly red, and her gaze wasn't as focused as before. She even returned to use her sailor's tongue now. So that was her real way of talking.

"I'll be showin' ye our fine vessel, me beauty. We can have a grand time aboard, just the two of us, revelin' in the pleasures of the sea." She continued, grabbing my hand and pulling me in the process.

I took out a few Gold Coins and threw them on the table, making a clinking sound. I didn't know how much I took out, but I hoped that would be enough to cover everything I ordered earlier.

While I had a hard time understanding the sailor's tongue, I could make out some of it. Like, showing her vessel meant showing her ship. And for sure, I knew what she meant by having a grand time and reveling in the pleasure.

'She's too wild.'

The way she pulled my hand seemed to give an air of not taking a no as an answer. She only took yes, and I was half-forced brought to her ship. Her brother was still in the brothel, probably sleeping at that place after being satisfied having sex with a whore.

I was immediately brought inside the captain's cabin when we reached the ship. Showing the ship around your tits, she wanted to attack me right here and then. Unfortunately or fortunately, my act probably was too convincing as I only needed to look at my past.

As I stepped into the captain's cabin, a sense of tranquility and expectation washed over me.

At the center of the cabin stood the prized possession of every captain: the grand, mahogany steering wheel. Its polished surface reflected the soft glow of lantern light, bearing witness to the countless journeys and adventures undertaken under its guidance.

It served as the helm of the ship, a symbol of command and mastery over the mighty ocean currents. In fact, it was too grand for a pirate ship.

Nestled in the corner of the cabin, a large, luxurious bed awaited. That was where Cecil pulled me over and pushed me onto it without letting me look around longer.

Soft candlelight danced across the room, casting flickering shadows that danced upon the wooden panels. It lit the minotaur girl's face, which was close to me. The light also casted a warm glow on her tanned skin.

The gentle sway of the ship created a soothing rhythm. Cecil's breasts swayed around, following the rhythm. My hand was placed on her breasts, and she looked at me with a seductive, aroused smile.

"Arr, ye be a right handsome lad, makin' me blood boil and me heart race. The urge to ravish ye somethin' fierce be takin' hold, and I can't be denyin' meself any longer."

Not understanding what she said, I just looked at her and put up a scared look. My hand, however, squeezed her breasts a bit roughly, causing her to smile even wider. It was really soft, and the shape was deformed as my fingers dug into the large mound.

"Be grateful, me beauty, for I be takin' ye on a wild, passionate ride ye won't soon forget!"

With those words, her face got closer to me, and she took hold of my lips. Her lips were soft, far from my expectation, because she was just a pirate.

However, once again, she was one of the heroines and a wild one at that. She was beautiful and sexy.

Her tongue began to move, attacking me. The smell of booze tickled my nose. And her saliva tasted like the ale I drank earlier.

My mind went blank. I felt my body responding to her kiss, and I couldn't stop myself from kissing back.

After about 10 seconds of this, she finally broke off the kiss. A predatory smile appeared on her face as she took off her cape, causing her large breasts to bounce. Her nipple was already erect beneath her bikini, and I noticed that her bikini itself was also slightly wet.

'As I expected, she lactates too.'

"Prepare yerself, for I'll be takin' yer virginity!"

'Is this so-called female domination? This is a different kind of fun than dominating a woman. Though I still prefer being on top, I will enjoy myself on the bottom for now and look at Cecil's effort to satisfy herself.'

And to think she misunderstood this to be my first time. Could it also be her first? If that was so, then...

"Umm... Please be gentle." I said timidly. "I am new to all these things..."

She laughed softly and replied, "...Well, you ain't exactly a virgin, if ya know what I mean. Ye've been pleasured by another woman before, haven't cha?"

"... No. You will be my first."

Cecil smiled mischievously, saying, "Aye, well, that's how it usually goes. Now then, let's get started~ Well, ain't I lucky to have you as my first, too. Let's make it a night to remember."

Report chapter Comments

After saying so, Cecil began to undress me slowly, taking care not to rip anything. She removed each piece of clothing carefully, revealing more and more of my body until, eventually, nothing remained but a pair of trunks.

When she had taken off everything except my underwear, she sat next to me and wrapped an arm around me, pushing her large breasts against my bare chest.

"Mmm... Ye skin be as smooth as the sea on a calm day, me heartie. So soft and silky, it's a pleasure to touch." she murmured quietly while caressing my cheek with her thumb.

Then, she whispered something in my ear. "Yer such a good lad." Her hot breath sent shivers through my entire body. "Ye don't need to worry 'bout a thing. Just relax and enjoy yourself."

As she spoke, her hand slid between my legs and gently rubbed the tip of my cock. She also kissed me on the neck several times.

It didn't take long before I became fully erect.

"Oho! Looks like we're ready to go," she exclaimed happily.

Without further ado, Cecil stood up and straddled me. Her mischievous eyes gazed at my erection, which made a dent in my trunk.

"Yer unexpectedly has big balls for a young lad, havin' a dick like that. Must be why your momma loves yer daddy so much."

At those words, I smiled seephisly, feeling proud of my size.

"But enough talkin', me beauties. Time fer some lovin'."

Once again, her tongue began to attack me. It was warm, wet, and sweet. Her hand still caressed my cock over my trunk, and her other one took her skirt off, followed by her bikini.

"Ooh, me heartie. Yer quite hard already, aren't cha?"

The sight of her naked body was overwhelming. There wasn't even any hair on her pussy, and it glistened with moisture. Her erect pink nipple jiggled slightly when she moved her hips. This was my first time with a woman taller and bigger than me, and seeing her nude made me feel excited.

Especially because she lactated, I didn't know what to say, but I wanted to drink the milk dripping from her nipple to her massive breasts. Was the taste similar to cow milk? Or was it tastier than cow milk? She was a literal cowgirl, and I was curious about it so I asked.

"Can I drink your milk?"

"Haha, ye wanta try my milk, do ya? Well, it tastes fine, if ye ask me. Not a bad flavor at all, me reckonin'. But if ye be wantin' to find out for sure, I can give ye a taste right here and now, me hearty~"

Her voice sounded playful, and her expression looked eager. She held her massive breasts from under, squeezing them with her hands, and made her milk squirt from her nipples. Then, she brought her body closer to my face and offered her breast to me.

My mind went blank as I stared at the milky white liquid oozing down from her boobs into my eye level.

"Ye can lick it if yer interested, or ye could suck it instead. Whichever way suits ya best. I won't stop you either, though."

'Shit. I really want to taste it, but will an innocent boy do that?'

I felt conflicted. My lust overpowered my common sense, however. So without hesitation, I leaned forward and opened my mouth wide.

Cecil was drunk. Surely she wouldn't think much if I just allowed her to play with my body later. This was my chance to taste a cowgirl's milk right from the source. I hoped the taste would be tasty.

And I got my wish. The moment I put my lips near her nipple, the sweet scent filled my nose. And then, I tasted the milk directly from her boob.

"Ahhnn~" Cecil moaned softly as I began to suck her milk and squeezed her breast over her hands.

This was heaven. Sweet and delicious. I couldn't believe how wonderful this flavor was. The taste was a bit similar to cow milk, but it was way tastier. It had a creamy texture and sweetness to it.

I licked the rest of the milk from her tits until no more drops were left, but the milk kept squirting because she was aroused.

"That felt good lad..." Cecil purred happily as she sat back on her knees, panting lightly. The other nipple that I didn't suck also has milk dripping from it, covering her brown-tanned skin with white color, making her look sexier.

As expected, women in this world were hornier. They were also weak to handsome men like me. Cecil was worse, though, as she came from the Sin Kingdom. Her sexual drive probably was higher than the women from the Virtue Kingdom as she was raised in that place.

She told me this was her first time with a man, and she already wanted to be dominant, being on top. That explained why she was acting like this.

"Now, let's continue the fun, matey~ I shall take ye to heaven."

With that said, she straightened her posture and pulled my trunk down. My fully erect penis sprung up between us, extending straight to her stomach.

"Mmm... What a big thing, eh? It's even bigger than most minotaur's Beastmen. How'd ye get such a large member, anyway?"

"It's genetic," I replied simply. "But I'm glad that you're enjoying yourself."

She smiled widely and giggled. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she grabbed my shaft, stroking it slowly while looking deep into my soul.

"Oho! Ye don't need to worry 'bout anything. If ye ask me, I'll make sure to use every inch of it to pleasure myself."

"You have my word."

Then, she lowered herself and kissed the tip of my cock, sucking it gently. As soon as she did so, I felt something warm around my dick. There was some sort of lubricant coating my cock, which helped Cecil to slide her tongue along its length easily.

The sensation was heavenly. A part of me thought that it wasn't necessary since her fold was already wet. However, I quickly realized how wrong I was when Cecil sucked harder and deeper, taking half of my shaft inside her throat.

"Ugh!" I groaned loudly.

"Looks like ye enjoy a bit of rough play, eh?" Cecil cooed before continuing her blowjob.

I watched as she slurped and swallowed my entire erection, bobbing faster and faster on me as I tried to keep calm. For a dominant woman, she seemed to know how to please a man too. Was this truly her first time?

After about a few minutes, Cecil stopped and looked up at me. "Well now, it be time for ye to give back what ye received, me hearty~"

Her words made me realize I hadn't given her any pleasure except by playing with her tits.

'Well, let's show what I can do to her. While pretending to be inexperienced, let's slowly train her not to be able to live without me again.'

I flashed a shy smile as Cecil stared at me intensely. She positioned herself on my lap, got on her knees, and slowly lowered her hips, lowering her pussy towards my cock.

At the same time, Cecil slid her folds apart, revealing her pink inner flesh. I could see her small clit peeking out from the hood, waiting to be penetrated by my erect

"Nnngggg..." Cecil moaned as she slowly pushed her folds further down, letting my cock enter her tight hole.

Slowly, my dick sunk into her slit. I felt resistance as my tip poked through her folds, causing her to grunt softly. It was her hymen, apparently. So she was really a virgin.

"Hahaha... Looks like ye really are new here, aren't ya?" Cecil chuckled quietly as she leaned forward, kissing me passionately. She was trying to hide her excitement and fear from me.

However, I couldn't care less. Why would she stop at a time like this? Wasn't she the one who pulled me to eat me sexually? So she wouldn't mind if I also moved, no? Even an innocent boy could get excited.

'I will give you a bit of help here, Miss Pirate.'

I pushed my hips forward, pushing my cock all the way inside her body.

"Ahh!!" Cecil cried out loudly as my thick pole stretched her insides.

[Ding! You took Cecil's virginity! Your Sins increased by 3!]

My mind went blank as I saw Cecil's face contorted in pain and pleasure. The cow girl had never been fucked before, but I didn't want to stop until I gave her an orgasm.

Her scream echoed throughout the room as my cock reached her deepest parts. Her tail slapped against my thighs, creating a loud slapping sound.

"Aaaaahhh!! Nnngh... Ahhhhhhhh..." Cecil grunted heavily, sitting on top of me as I thrust my hips upwards.

For a moment, we just stayed still, both of our bodies shaking violently as they were filled with each other's warmth. Then, Cecil sat upright and looked at me with a heated gaze.

"You!!" She screamed angrily. "Ye took m-my virginity! And yer going to pay for it! I'll make sure to fuck your brains out for eternity!"

"What?!" I exclaimed, pretending to be shocked. "I am sorry!"

"Ya better can hold yer stamina then," Cecil growled. "Now stay on da bed and prepare for a good fucking!"

"Yes..."

My plan to rouse her worked, and I grinned internally. Now, she would definitely try to seduce me even more than ever.

And I would be kept on this ship without her letting me go. My plan worked, and I would enjoy looking at her trying to dominate me. In addition, I would totally enjoy drinking her milk in this night session. It was too good to pass by.

"But if ye cum too fast, I'm gon' get angry. Understand?"

"Understood."

'Cum too fast? Woman, you don't know that I can last until morning even if I cum many times.' I thought, chuckling silently.

Cecil smiled at me and grabbed my wrists tightly. Before I knew it, she pinned them against the mattress while my cock was still deep inside her. Her wet and soft vagina wall wrapped around me, squeezing my shaft hard.

The sensation caused me to groan deeply as I felt myself getting close to climax. She had already given me a really good blowjob earlier. However, Cecil didn't seem to notice that yet; instead, she started riding me furiously.

She bounced up and down, grinding her pelvis against mine as she rode me faster. As I watched, I realized how much effort and strength was needed to ride someone like this. But she did so effortlessly, bouncing up and down on my cock as though she wasn't exerting any energy at all.

It made sense since she was a powerful woman after all. Her large breasts bounced wildly as she moaned in pleasure, using my big cock as a tool to satisfy herself.

"Mmm~ Mmph... Hyaahh!" Cecil let out a loud moan as she arched her back slightly.

It seemed like I just poked her G spot, making her orgasm. She pulled herself up, slamming her pussy harder on my shaft. Her entire body shuddered as she came again, squirting warm juices over my crotch. Her juices coated my entire length and dripped down towards my shaft.

"Oh, sweet mother of the sea... that feels amazing..." Cecil whispered as her eyes glazed over. "Yer dick is huge, but it fits perfectly into my tight little hole!"

As she spoke, her hands slid from my arms and caressed her own tits. Her fingers ran across her nipples as she squeezed them roughly, making milk squirt.

"Ooh~ Aaaahn... Uuuhn..." She moaned softly, continuing to bounce up and down on my cock.

This sight made me become aroused once more. My cock throbbed as I imagined what it must feel like when she took care of my cock while I sucked that milk out of her jugs.

In fact, thinking about those things got me closer to coming, which only encouraged her further and made her grin.

"Ahaha~ You're gonna come soon, aren't ya? Don't worry. I won't leave you unsatisfied~"

Cecil leaned forward, devouring my mouth and sucking my tongue. The feeling of her hot breath tickled my neck before she pressed her lips against mine. Our tongues wrestled together as our kiss became deeper and more passionate.

Our movements grew frantic, and my cock wasn't without a care either. She lowered her hips once again, taking my whole length inside her.

Her tightness almost pushed me over the edge, causing my balls to tighten and twitch. I could barely take it anymore but somehow managed to hold off.

"Hyaaahhh~" Cecil moaned loudly, grinding her pelvis against mine. "Fuck me harder, damnit! I'll make ye mine, ye handsome boy!"

"Fine..." I grunted, grabbing both sides of her waist and lifting her up. Her tits were smashed against my chest as we continued to fuck each other.

I thrust upwards, driving my cock into her pussy with full force. Her walls gripped me tightly as I pounded away at her, going as fast and rough as possible.

My cock went in and out of her pussy rapidly, hitting every part of her sensitive spots along the way. She cried out in pain and pleasure, moaning louder than ever before as I fucked her brains out. Her milk sprayed everywhere as well, coating my body and stomach.

That couldn't be left unattended. So I pinched her nipple and sucked her milk out of another one. It tasted delicious.

"A-Ahnn! Ahhhhhhhh~!" Cecil screamed loudly, bucking her hips against mine. "Drink! Drink! Suck! Take all o' mah milk~!"

I obeyed, drinking greedily from her breast until there was nothing else left for me to get. Then I moved down and licked the rest of her milk off her tits, leaving behind a trail of saliva while moving my hips to satisfy her.

Right now, I was acting like an innocent boy, letting this minotaur girl use me as a way to pleasure herself.

After all, if I didn't do something like this, then she wouldn't keep me in her ship, and my plan wouldn't be able to continue.

"Haah... haah..." Cecil panted heavily, panting as she held onto my shoulders. "Damn... yer so good, ain'tcha?"

She grinned widely, looking down at me as I kept fucking her. Even though she was drunk, she still had enough self-control to ride me properly. Then she grabbed my face and brought me closer to hers.

"Ye can cum whenever ye want, right? Ye don't gotta wait for me."

"Yeah..." I nodded. "You said it yourself that you wanted to make me yours. And I'm sure I'd enjoy your milk too much to resist anyway..."

"Mmph!" Cecil laughed happily, locking her legs around my waist. "I decided. Yer gonna be my boy now, hmm~"

The two of us kissed passionately, sharing our spit between us. We rubbed our bodies against each other, feeling the heat of our lust burning through everything.

Then she broke off the kiss and looked straight into my eyes.

"So, how 'bout it? Wanna have a bit o' fun with me, me heartie? Been waitin' for someone like ye to come sailin' me way~"

It was a success. I gained her affection and, by extension, probably her trust. Now I just needed to continue my act like a good boy and spy on them.

But first, I had to give her a proper reward. So I started kissing her again, sliding my hands across her body and groping her breasts.

"Ohh~ Mmph~" Cecil groaned softly, pressing her boobs against my palms. "Yesss... That feels gooood~"

With no hesitation, I squeezed them hard and fondled her nipples, making her moan even louder. My fingers played with her soft flesh, teasing the tips of her areolas and rubbing against her hardened nubs.

Cecil let out a cute whimper as I did that, and I knew what would happen next. I was about to cum, and she was going too.

"Hehe, ahaha..." Cecil giggled breathlessly, rocking back and forth on top of me. "Ooh~ A-Ahhh! Oh~ Drink my milk!"

She suddenly stiffened, her entire body tensed up. The tip of her tail twitched wildly as she came..

I could feel her milky juices splashing against my cheeks, soaking into my hair and dripping down onto my neck. Her pussy juice coated my cock and made me harder than ever. So I didn't stop.

"I am about to cum, Cecil." I grunted. "Are you ready?"

"Nngh! Yes! Cum inside me! Fill me up~"

And so I did. With one last thrust, I buried myself deep within her tight pussy and unloaded my seed into her womb.

We both moaned loudly, her voice echoing throughout the room. But we were far past caring about anything else when I felt her walls clamping tightly around my shaft, squeezing my life out and forcing more semen out of my balls.

My orgasm lasted longer than usual, but it wasn't over yet. After all, I still hadn't finished filling her full of my hot load.

When I finally stopped spurting, I collapsed beneath Cecil, who was still riding me, and began to suck her own nipple.

"Aaahnngg..." Cecil shuddered and trembled, her muscles clenching and relaxing repeatedly. "Hnn... HNNNGG~ Ahhhhhh~"

Her climax went on for several minutes before she eventually fell limp atop me. Her squirted milk covered our bodies. Her tanned skin was now covered in white liquid, and my semen gushed out from her tight slit as she orgasmed. It dripped down her thighs, pooling underneath her.

[Ding! You had cummed inside Cecil's pussy! Your Sins increased by 5!]

Finally, after a few moments, she got off me. Our sweaty naked forms intertwined together, and we shared a long passionate kiss while still lying on the floor. Or rather, she was forcing me to kiss her until I gave up. Of course, I only pretended to give up to make her happy.

"Uuugh..." Cecil sighed contentedly, rolling over on me and pushing her breasts against my chest. "Yer a good boy. Thanks for fillin' me up."

"Will you protect me with this?" I asked with an uncertain tone, still pretending to be a good, innocent boy.

"Ye know it," Cecil replied with a wink. "I'll keep ya in my ship. Ye can stay here forever if yer wants. Just don't try to escape or do anythin'. If ye wanna leave, then... well, there ain't much reason for ye to, is there?"

"No." I nodded slowly. "There isn't."

"Awww, ye're such a sweetheart. Yeees, I'm gonna take care o' ye. Ya hear me?"

"Yes." I said simply, smiling at her. "Thank you for taking care of me."

"Good boy." Cecil cooed happily, leaning forward and planting another kiss on my lips. "Let's continuh... haah... have some fun, hmm? We've only just begun~"

I nodded. Well, letting her take care of herself using my cock was fine by me. Especially since this was a new sensation and I'd like to explore everything. Still, I loved to be on the top more than on the bottom.

'I know she won't be able to forget me once she gets used to me.' I thought, smirking to myself. 'It will take a bit of time, but that's okay. I can always dominate her later when I find what they are hiding!'

We continued having sex with her rocking her hips on top of me, making sure every inch of my dick was fully taken advantage of. She seemed to like it when I played with her nipple. It was sensitive enough to make her moan when my breath brushed against its surface.

After a couple of hours passed, we had already fucked each other multiple times. Her womb was filled with my semen, and the only thing that made me not worried about her getting pregnant was the fact she drank a contraceptive potion she got from underground.

It seemed like she really wanted to fuck a boy, and it was a good thing I was the one who took her virginity.

My stamina was amazing, especially considering how many women I had slept with before her. And even though we were both tired and exhausted from fucking nonstop, Cecil couldn't seem to let go.

Her brother didn't return even when the morning came.

Cecil still loved to play with me and she even put me on her lap, asking me to drink her milk and play with her breasts while she gave me a handjob. That was probably why she was horny as hell and kept trying to fuck me again and again.

I even covered her whole body with my semen after I was done drinking her milk, gaining me extra 5 Sins.

She wanted to make sure I wouldn't run away. And I had no intention of doing that before I got what I wanted.

From this, I found out about something.

'Minotaur's girl stamina is insane. And Cecil's milk tastes really delicious.'

Those were two things I learned during our endless sexual intercourse. And it made me certain about dominating her in the future.

Report chapter Comments

When the sun had surfaced above the sea, Cecil ended our sexual intercourse and took me to have a bath.

There was one connected to the captain's cabin; it was just downstairs on the deck. A large bathtub made from wood lay there, and we cleaned ourselves together.

Cecil was scrapping my semen out of her pussy in a smaller bathtub on the side, so the water wouldn't get dirty or anything. She was already sober but still clingy to me, hugging me from behind and pushing her breasts against my back as we submerged.

"Sorry, boy. Was that too hard for you? I was drunk and aroused at the same time, so I went too far and continued until morning."

"No, it's not a problem." I shook my hand, looking at her over my shoulder. I wasn't used to being treated like this, and I certainly didn't like it.

'I have come to terms with being a sadist, so being treated like this makes me uncomfortable.'

But I needed to hold on. Just a few days. And if I couldn't hold it anymore, I could always slip away from her for a few hours and have rough sex with Garcia. Yes, that was my way of coping with my situation.

'If only I know what they are hiding, I don't need to infiltrate like this.' I thought. 'I swear I will get back to this cowgirl and show her that what she experienced before was just from her effort alone and not mine yet.'

"I… also enjoyed it." I smiled at her with the brightest one I could ever muster.

"That's great," Cecil exclaimed. "We will set sail in a few hours to protect the sailors from before. It's my job to protect those people."

"I see! That's a really good job, Cecil."

It seemed like she still wanted to hide that she was a pirate, which was fine by me. That meant she wanted to make me depend on her more and made me see her in a good light.

'If I don't know she's a pirate, she might take me to a special place where they hide their secret by telling me that's their relic or something.'

She just made it easier for me to act.

"Alright then, enough with the bath."

Saying so, Cecil rose from the bathtub and put her hands on her hips. Water dripped from her breasts down to her thick thighs, and she looked down at me.

"Prepare yourself for a sail, handsome boy."

"Yes."

Cecil left me alone on the ship after she got dressed in a red bikini and parka, leaving to find his damned brother or so she said. She also put on a red hat often used by sailors.

"Now then…"

No one was here, and she trusted me enough to leave me after having sex with me. Rather, was it that easy to get her trust? Or maybe she didn't think I would run and believe my act of acting like a weak, innocent boy?

Anyway, it was my chance to know what she was thinking about me.

"Let's follow her."

Putting on [Shadow Cape, I began to sink into shadow and followed Cecil closely. If you asked why, then I was sure she would speak with her brother about this protection and would talk about how they would deal with me.

Exploring the ship would be easy now that Cecil assumed me to be close to her and became her 'boy toy' or 'errand boy.'

Maybe finding their secret and knowing what caused the monsters' strange activities might be even easier than taking over Border City. And taking over that city was quite easy, thanks to Beatrice's charm and the groundwork she had prepared beforehand.

Finding her was quite easy even when she left a few minutes before me as I marked her dot already. Though without me marking her, I could find her just fine because of her tall height and conspicuous long green hair.

A beautiful girl as tall as her and had that massive breasts was truly rare and probably couldn't be found anywhere in the Virtue Kingdom, so she stood out a lot.

Even when I got close to her and observed her from the roof of one of the buildings, I noticed some people gazed at her breasts, which were only covered by a thin red bikini. Her dress was quite open even compared to the other girls in this port city. I meant she only wore a bikini and a parka.

As I followed her from a certain distance and dived into shadow when she looked around, I noticed she was going toward a certain dark alleyway located on the outskirts of Lima Port City. It was where her brother, Crane, stayed all night and hadn't moved until now.

This path was between two tall buildings, casting a dark shadow over it, making it perfect for me to follow her as I could stick closely to the shadow. And when I got close to her, I was able to hear Cecil muttering.

"That damned Crane. How long will he stay in the whore house? And here I got a deal and a handsome meek boy who follows all my orders. I'll fool him and keep him by my side forever as my boy." The corner of her lips curled up as she let out a low giggle.

As I'd thought, she truly thought of me like that, huh? I was even afraid with my talent to fool her. It was just too easy. It was probably also thanks to my experience with dominating girls, but I was glad she thought that way as it was just as planned.

The problem lay in her brother, Crane. Finding the treasure or something they hid would be hard if he didn't believe her and trusted me. And I knew they didn't hide it in their ship but in an open ocean or on a small deserted island away from the shore.

It could also probably be in some flying island hovering close to the ocean, something I hadn't seen yet as it was rare.

Anyway, Cecil stopped in front of a door with a red canopy and knocked on it three times.

"What?"

The person inside opened a small window at normal eye level, which was where Cecil's giant breasts were. The minotaur girl immediately bent to keep the peering eyes off her breasts and leveled her eyes against the small window.

"Open the door. I am here to fetch Crane."

"Oh, Cecil, huh?" The door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with an unkempt appearance and dirty brown hair smiled while looking at Cecil with a disgusting gaze.

On the other side of the door was a short hallway with a stairway leading to the second floor at the end and a small table beside it. A wooden door stood behind the table, and many naked girls' pictures were hung on the wall on the sides.

I used this chance to sneak inside and stayed in the shadow near the stairs.

"Gufufu, your brother is on the second floor, the usual room. He just enjoyed a new girl, a virgin, so cut him some slack." The man rubbed his hands together.

"I don't care," Cecil replied and stepped inside, glaring at the middle-aged man. "I am in a good mood and only want to talk with Crane about business now. So move away, Gibbs."

"Alright alright." Gibbs raised his hands and stepped to the corner, giving way for tall Cecil to move. "My offer still remains, though. I can pay you handsomely if you decide to become a whore in this place."

"No thanks. Business is booming, and I don't like to be touched by a man beside someone I choose myself. And I got a boy in my hand already."

"Oooh? Introduce me to that boy someday. You know I also have a brothel for those rich ladies."

"Don't you dare!" Cecil narrowed her eyes dangerously as she stopped in front of the stairs. "I won't introduce him. He's my boy, and he will stay with me forever."

"How scary." Gibbs chuckled as he closed the door.

Cecil ignored him, went upstairs toward the first room, and kicked it open without knocking on it. I followed her from behind and looked at what was inside the room.

"Wake up, Crane!"

As we entered the room, I saw the minotaur man from that day sitting on the edge of the bed, already fully clothed.

"Oh, Cecil? What's up?" He asked casually, raising his head.

"We have a job."

They began to have a conversation about the job Cecil secured from fooling the sailors last night. I listened to their conversation, and Cecil also told her brother about me.

Surprisingly, he was okay with me tagging along when Cecil said I was obedient to her and was her plaything. I swore I would make her regret calling me that in the future.

How did I say it? I didn't expect both of them to believe in me so easily. Crane didn't even meet me yet. It could also be due to their overconfidence in something they kept a secret between themselves. At least he was still a bit wary when Cecil mentioned about me earlier.

"Did you have fun with that girl, Crane?" Cecil asked her brother, looking straight at him.

The minotaur guy grinned, "Oh, yeah. She was willing to wear a costume I bought, so I asked for her. She's a bit expensive because she was a virgin, but it's worth it. Her tight pussy is the best!"

"Is that so?" She added. "I also had fun with my boy last night, so I won't scold you this time."

"You're the best, sis." Crane chuckled lowly. "I am now interested in that boy."

"He's on the ship. And he's so cute and handsome."

Their conversation derailed slightly before returning back to the scam protection business.

My attention went to the bed. To be exact, to a girl with nun clothes that lay motionlessly on the bed, covered in various liquids, including a pink and white one. A sweet smell penetrated my nose, and I knew that the pink liquid was an aphrodisiac.

Cecil pinched her nose and only gave a side glance to the girl before resuming her conversation with her brother.

The girl wasn't a real nun, as the clothes' quality was way lower than what usual Castitas Church's nuns wore. It was just a costume. There was no way a nun would work at a place like this as a prostitute, even when they were desperate.

That poor girl… This man probably couldn't handle a girl and only satisfied his desire. It was by her choice to be here, but I thought she deserved to be handled with care too, just like how I wanted to give all girls who slept with me pleasure and satisfaction.

Unfortunately, I wasn't a saint. So, I wouldn't do anything for her. But…

'Don't worry, girl. This Crane will stop sleeping with girls carelessly or even stop altogether after I finish my plan.'

As I thought so, their conversation about the business was over, and the minotaur guy, Crane, said something that caught my attention.

"Alright. Because they seem wealthy and have a lot of ships, let's bring them to that place where we hide that thing, shall we? It will be risky, but we will get a big haul this time if we succeed."

"I agree." Cecil nodded, grinning widely. "And I can show off to my new boy to make him trust me. That way bringing him to Domination House will be easier."

"Hahaha! I hope there will be a virgin in those sailors' ships too. If so, then I can also dominate her and train her to be my slave!"

"Do as you please. I will allow only one, though, as I only have one too."

"Alright alright." Crane shrugged his shoulders. "Let's get some thugs to hire them. They will be perfect for our plan."

'Lady luck is with me.' My lips curled up into a grin in the shadow as I heard that.

The fact they wanted to hire thugs meant the first event had almost started. Their first appearance in the game was on the ocean with their ships filled with thugs, attacking the protagonist's ship as he went to investigate the area with the least sea monsters.

Meaning they had stopped this scam protection and went full pirate mode again, as they realized it was more profitable than extorting people from protection money.

'And this job is probably what makes them change their mind about their operation.'

At that moment, I heard a notification in my head.

[Ding!]

[A new Quest has appeared.]

[Find the hidden Pirate Treasure!]

This notification only served as a confirmation that this hidden thing was something I sought and probably was closely related to the first event.

My bad, Cecil. But things wouldn't happen as you planned.

Because if we followed the storyline, this was where your plan branched.

To not bring any suspicion, I returned to the ship first and changed my clothes to a luxurious white shirt and black pants, waiting on the hull while reading a novel I bought on my way back.

This way, I would look like I was resting and not draw any suspicion from Crane, seeing how he looked wary when Cecil mentioned about me, although his expression quickly shifted.

I also had time before they returned as they stopped at a certain place to recruit some thugs, so I checked my new quest.

--

Quest:

- Find the hidden Pirate Treasure!

Quest Description: The pirate siblings seem to hide a treasure they used to scam people out of protection!

This treasure is important and has a direct connection to Sins Paradise's 'Sea Monster Paradise' event!

Secure this treasure, and you will get a reward! If you fail, then a scary and wild Scylla will appear!

Deadline: 7 Days

Reward: 20 Sins

--

I wanted to hold my hand and curse loudly so badly if not for the fact that I was currently infiltrating a pirate ship and acting like an innocent boy.

Now I was sure someone was watching me and my bonus stage. It must be that guy who told me I couldn't return and asked me to choose the bonus stage.

'Fuck.'

The choice was whether I chose to finish the quest to get 20 Sins or cure Isabelle's trauma by letting this monster be released.

From the description, this treasure or magic item seemed to have sealed Scylla or could command Scylla. In the end, I should still find this treasure.

Based on what Isabelle told me, this Scylla was probably a Boss-rank monster. Unlike a normal one, a Boss-rank monster's status could break the limit as all of them had Limit Breaker title and were usually defeated by a party or many parties in a raid.

In short, it was an unbelievably strong monster that even Level 90 Tristan and her party were wiped out easily.

Of course, it would be easy for me, but this complicated many things.

"The pirate sibling has a treasure like that? I might need to resort to violence if they don't show me the treasure after they are done with the job." I muttered and looked at the bright, blue sky devoid of clouds.

My mission was to secure the treasure, not to find it. I could just think of my next move after I saw the treasure and appraised it.

On the corner of my sight was the radar, and the minotaur siblings already reached the port and approached the ship. In fact, they had already walked up the bridge to board the ship.

I pretended that I didn't notice them and looked at the book. Their footsteps got closer and louder. Then they appeared, smiling at me.

"Boy." Cecil called out to me, and I raised my head to look at her with a bright smile.

"Cecil!" I replied cheerfully, putting up a happy face. Then I looked at the green-haired man with a wild look beside her. "Who is he?"

"This is my brother, Crane." She introduced, pointing at him. "He's the captain of this ship."

"Hello, boy. I heard from Cecil that you were asking for our protection for a few days. Don't worry! We will protect you as long as you stay on this ship!"

"That's reassuring! You also look strong, so I am relieved."

I shook the hand he offered me and smiled. His eyes showed no wariness, and he looked down on me because I just looked like a naïve, handsome boy who ran from his home.

"Can I call you captain, if you don't mind? I am looking forward to working with you!"

"Hahaha, sure!" He laughed loudly, pulling his hand away. "Just ask Cecil if you need something. She's a good girl, so I know she will take care of you to the best of her ability."

"I really appreciate it, thank you," I responded.

'She treated me really well. And I will treat her really well too, Captain Crane.' I added in my mind, hiding a smirk that glossed over my face for a second.

'I know you will regret it when the time comes after you ask her to take care of me.'

Report chapter Comments

Near afternoon.

After Crane asked me various questions in the form of interrogation that I managed to answer smoothly about why I needed protection, we met with the thugs they recruited at the port near where the ship was docked.

This time, I was asked to tag along because we would sail with them together to scam or protect, in their dictionary, the sailors with 10 ships.

There were a total of 6 thugs, composed of 4 men and 2 women. But something unexpected happened. All of them were bruised except for a single woman with short white hair at the back of the crowd, wearing better armor than the other thugs.

'What's she doing here?'

I looked at that woman who wore a black armored dress in contrast to the other who wore dirty leather armor. That… Even if she dyed her hair white, I recognized that she was Isabelle.

She looked at me with a surprised gaze before averting her eyes coldly, turning to Cecil, who stood behind me and rested her breasts on my shoulders. They were soft, and Cecil unexpectedly loved skinship like this.

'This is bad, isn't it?'

Without needing to say anything, I knew this situation was the worst I could hope for. Why was Isabelle here? I only asked her and Garcia to find something suspicious… Oh, right. This place was suspicious.

'She must've seen the scam requirement and decided to check what happened.'

And the fact she dyed her hair white meant she knew the recruitment she came across was dangerous and needed her to be careful.

'But it's really bad timing.'

Not because she was here and we were about to sail toward a treasure related to Scylla, but because she might misunderstand what I did right now.

Just a glance was enough to see that Isabelle was sulking.

She might've arrived at the conclusion that I disappeared last night to hit on a girl and ended up in this place. But that was wrong! I was here to spy on the pirate.

'I might need to explain something to her.'

Later… I added as Crane took a step forward on my side, crossing his arms. He wore a hat fit to be a captain, similar to what Cecil wore but black in color.

"Listen up, everyone! Nod your head if you are here because you saw our recruitment offer."

All of them nodded at once, including Isabelle. As I had expected, she saw the recruitment and decided to check what it was about since she found it in a suspicious place.

Or she could also walk by, see my head sandwiched by two humongous breasts, and decide to change her hair color to see what I did.

Anyway, that wasn't important right now.

"Great. Let's move to the ship, then. I will explain our job there. If you understand, then answer me!"

"Aye!"

The group then followed Crane to board the ship. They followed behind him and passed by me and Cecil, who watched from the side.

When Isabelle walked past, she narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her gaze to Crane.

'She's really sulking.' I laughed wryly in my mind.

At that moment, I felt a soft touch caressing my hair.

"Don't mind that thug girl, boy. You look handsome enough to get my attention, after all? You don't have to mind the fact she looks at my damned brother and not you."

It seemed like Cecil misunderstood something too, so she tried to console me. I turned around, only to bury my face in her boobs. They were too big, and she was too tall for me to look straight into her face.

"Fufufu." Cecil giggled mischievously. "I know you love my boobs, but to think you want to hug me like this. I like you more now."

'No, girl. It was an accident, okay? I am not used to facing someone taller than me.'

But I couldn't say that because I was an innocent boy now.

So I just pulled away slightly, taking a breath I needed, and smiled at her.

"Yes, Cecil. I also like you more than the other girls."

My answer brought a big smile to her face. A predatory smile belonged to a satisfied woman whose plan went smoothly, or at least that was how she saw it.

Cecil hugged me tightly, burying my face between her boobs again. It was suffocating.

"How cute!" She exclaimed.

I held my breath and let myself be played by the minotaur girl as I heightened my senses, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation on the deck. Crane explained to the group how he planned to extort the 10 sailors and protect me on the ship.

In the middle of his explanation, I heard a female voice saying, "So you like big boobs? That's why you did that with that blonde and brought that nun with us. And then that woman… I know mine isn't that big, but it's bigger than before…"

That voice belonged to Isabelle, and it sounded jealous.

As I mentioned before, Isabelle, or rather Tristan's personality, was really similar to Eliza's. They were also cheerful outside and couldn't be honest with their feelings toward their loved ones.

It was a good thing Isabelle also still had that side of her. Though she was now a cold tsundere, I was happy to know she still had a bit of feeling toward me.

I should fix this misunderstanding faster, then. And I should find a way to kick Isabelle out of the ship, as we would meet many monsters in the sea later.

'It would be dangerous.'

The way to kick Isabelle out of the ship was probably in the woman hugging me. So I tapped her back to let her know I wanted to say something.

Cecil released me right away and took a step back.

"Sorry, boy! I didn't realize you can't breathe!"

"N-No, it's not a problem," I replied. "But I must say… That white-haired girl from earlier looks beautiful. Don't you think so too, Cecil?"

"Huh?" A low voice escaped Cecil's lips as her smile fell from her face, showing her real face that belonged to a pirate. "What did you just say, boy?"

"Isn't that girl beautiful? The one in the armored dress." I repeated, smiling innocently. "She looks cute and strong too. And I like a strong girl. I wonder which one is stronger, you or her."

For a second, Cecil's face contorted into a fit of anger. It quickly changed back to a confident smile as she brought my face closer to hers and gave me a light kiss.

"It's obviously me, silly." She said, "I will prove it to you right now."

"Are you gonna fight her?" I asked.

"If that's what you want."

"Then I want to see it," I exclaimed.

Provoking Cecil was truly easy. With how she wanted to dominate a man, I knew her pride would be high for a pirate.

Knowing how pirates worked and how they treasure their gold and hidden treasure, I knew they wouldn't back off so easily. Even if I tortured them, they wouldn't say anything about their hidden treasure. They would choose to die instead of revealing where their hidden wealth was.

And Cecil had already thought of me as hers.

If I mentioned another girl being cute and strong in front of her, I knew she would be jealous and would do something to eliminate that girl.

'Isabelle is strong and doesn't fear using her strength against her opponent as long as they aren't monsters.'

So getting them to clash with each other was the best way to send my message to Isabelle that I didn't need her on this ship and wanted her to continue her investigation with Garcia.

'All of it will be easier if I can use Telepathy skill. And I can't take out any magic item from my inventory because Cecil is always close to me, observing my every movement, since she returned.'

"Alright then." The minotaur girl grinned and looked up at the deck of the ship. Isabelle was leaning against the railing, looking in the other direction. "I will show that girl who's stronger. It will serve as her test if she wants to sail with us."

"Whoa! How exciting!" I clapped my hands to make Cecil more excited.

'Sorry, Isabelle. I don't want you to mess up with my plan right now. Just get defeated by Cecil and stay in the lodging for a few days.'

Report chapter Comments

After provoking Cecil, we went onboard the ship, and I stood near the door of the captain's cabin, looking at Cecil walking toward the unsuspecting Isabelle with a heavy step.

It seemed like the minotaur girl was angry after I praised Isabelle, and the latter still didn't know about it and only looked at the oncoming danger with confusion. Once she saw my smile and me waving my hand, her expression immediately changed into a troubled one.

"Do your best." I moved my lips as her gaze landed on me, and Isabelle frowned deeply.

Just as I finished warning Isabelle, Cecil stopped in front of the girl and looked down at her. Due to their different stature, Isabelle needed to look up, trying her best to hide her dissatisfaction from the minotaur girl.

"Get to the main deck. I will see if your strength is enough to sail with us."

Cecil pointed at the open area behind Crane without explaining anything and glared at Isabelle. The minotaur guy looked rather confused, and so were the other thugs. But then, he also couldn't do anything as that was something Cecil had decided already.

So he only told the other thugs to move aside, giving them space.

"Why should I?" Isabelle asked with a displeased tone. "I read the recruitment is for all people and you just need numbers."

"It's a new rule," Cecil responded back shortly, not wanting to back away. "Prove your strength, or I will kick you from my ship. The one in control here is me. My brother only acts as the captain because he knows the direction."

"What an unreasonable rule."

"My ship, my rules."

Both girls didn't want to back up against each other and exchanged glares. While I was the one who set up this situation, I couldn't help but feel the tension between them.

The others could feel it too. Their glares contained their resolution, creating sparks between them. Cecil wanted to kick Isabelle because I praised her, and Isabelle wanted to stay because I was here, and she didn't want to be ordered around.

No one wanted to back away as both were headstrong, and the cause of that was the innocent me who stood a bit away from them and enjoyed this situation.

Why shouldn't I? I wanted Isabelle to get off the ship because my preparation wasn't over yet. And besides, back in Horizon Online, she put me in a lot of similar situations. So it was my way to pay her back for something she had done to me.

And then, I decided to add fuel to the fire. Of course, without pissing Isabelle too much.

"Cecil! You don't need to do that. The girl in front of you looks scared!"

It worked wonderfully as Isabelle's ear twitched in anger. She looked up to face Cecil straightly and declared.

"You just want to see my strength?"

Isabelle asked, to which Cecil replied with a predatory grin.

"Yeah. Let's have a bout."

"Fine."

Both of them glared at each other for a second before moving down toward the empty area on the deck near the ship's main mast.

Isabelle unsheathed her [Night's Edge, while Cecil got a 1 and half meter spiked club given by Crane that he took out from behind the wooden boxes stacked near where he stood.

'A staple weapon for a minotaur, huh?' I thought as I got closer to the group to watch the fight together.

The other girl that came along with the thugs, a short Elf girl with dirty platinum hair and eyes, was nimble. She climbed up the rigging and got a position near the crow's nest, having the best spot to see the fight from above.

"That girl is good." Crane nodded in approval. A dangerous smile plastered on his face, and I immediately knew what he was thinking without even asking.

'Thank Goddess, I didn't bring Milea, or I will be unable to act innocent like this and just destroy Crane and this ship.'

"Hey, girl."

Cecil noticed the girl who nested near the crow's nest and called out to her.

"Give us a sign to start."

"Aye'!' The girl roared and raised her hand. "On three, matey."

"One…"

"Two…!"

"Three!"

As soon as the Elf girl shouted three, she brought her hand down, and both fighters moved at the same time. Or rather, it was Isabelle who moved first with a fast speed.

She didn't hold back and activated her weapon's effect, controlling the shadow under her and created five shadow swords that flew toward Cecil at a fast speed.

"Hmph!"

The minotaur girl didn't flinch at all at the sight of those swords flying at her. Using her spiked club, she crushed all the shadow swords and grinned.

"Is that it?!"

"Why don't you look down?"

At that moment, Isabelle had already gotten closer to Cecil and swung her sword up. It was fast and sharp.

However, Cecil managed to react to the attack. Using the weight of her spiked club, she swung backward at a moment's notice. Her body sprung backward and managed to dodge Isabelle's slash by a hairbreadth; thus, the sharp edge only ripped her hat off.

"That's my favorite hat, you bitch!" Cecil roared and brought her club down.

It missed as Isabelle had already jumped away to safety. Without any target, the club landed on the wooden deck and destroyed it, creating a big hole. The destruction showed how much force was behind that attack and how high Cecil's STR was.

'She should be around Level 30 if she can do something like that.' I thought as I watched the battle unfold once again.

With her fast movement, Isabelle was attacking restlessly, forcing Cecil to be in a defensive position, blocking her attack with her spiked club.

If it went like this, Isabelle would win, and Cecil would have no choice but to let her board the ship together.

'But I can't allow that to happen. Isabelle shouldn't be on this ship. Looking at her reaction yesterday, she's not ready yet.'

So I stepped back, hiding behind the unruly thugs' shadow, and took out a certain magic item from my inventory. It was shaped like a white letter and came with a feather quill pen.

This was the closest magic item in my inventory that worked similarly to Telepathy. It could send a message to a certain person in mind, and nothing could interfere with or even look at the message. The downside was the message showed up as a floating window, and it would disturb Isabelle's sight.

'She will be unscathed because of [Night's Armor]'s passive, so I am not worried about her getting hit by Cecil's club.'

And so I wrote the message, a long one with an explanation and a bit of scolding because she acted recklessly even though she still had a trauma of monsters.

Firstly, I explained why I was in this place and asked her to return to where Garcia was to protect the nun. Of course, that was only an excuse, as I knew Garcia needed no protection.

Secondly, I scolded her for acting out of my instruction, making my plan almost go awry. Currently, I was her superior in her job, so she should be following my instructions.

Thirdly, I added some spam words telling her how much I loved her and how much I treasured her and just copied the same words to fill up the letters.

After it was done, I sent it to Isabelle, and the effect could be seen immediately.

"Huh?" A surprised voice came from the deck as Isabelle suddenly made a mistake on her footing, causing her to slip.

It was a chance that Cecil didn't waste. She grinned and swung her club hard, hitting Isabelle's body cleanly and blowing her away to the sea.

"That's what you get from messing with me," Cecil exclaimed as she struck a victory pose.

Report chapter Comments

A single girl crawled out from the sea on the beach shore, a bit away from the port. The bleach in her hair faded out, returning to its onyx color. Her body was covered in darkness, and she coughed out the water she involuntarily drank.

"Cough! Cough! That cow!"

That girl was Isabelle, and she didn't like what happened to her earlier a little bit.

A woman with big stature and cow tits hugged someone she treasured like a toy. Worse, she suddenly challenged her out of nowhere and wanted to kick her out. Something she didn't know definitely worked behind the shadow.

Then in the fight, that woman hit her and sent her flying to the sea. Thankfully, the shadow shields her armor created took all the impact, and she only felt a little bit of pain from drowning in the sea.

"And Arthur… Why did he send me a sudden message like that?" She muttered in wonder as she looked at the floating window in front of her. "He even used [Love Letter] to send me a private message."

The content was… long. It covered almost all her sight, even extending to the ground.

As its name implied, the letter could only be sent to someone you considered a friend or beloved one. Because the friend option was gone in this world, that only left the beloved one option.

Realizing that fact, Isabelle's face became a bit hotter from this, but she quickly shook her head to read the content of the letter sent by Arthur.

The first paragraph was filled with excuses – for her – explaining why he was on that ship and how she almost made his plan fail.

That infuriated her, but reading further, it seemed like those people were truly a pirate, just like the recruitment she found in one of the suspicious alleyways, and they were related to the investigation their team conducted.

As stated in the letter, his reason was to investigate the pirate. The details of his plan weren't written there, but he asked her to join Garcia investigating the port city. Something about this didn't sit right with her.

"He's treating me like a burden."

Then the second paragraph was filled with a scolding, beginning with how reckless she was and how she could die if she tagged along.

Now that worried her. What did he mean by that? Die? That was something she had forgotten since she arrived in this world.

"I can just revive, after all, unlike when in the Horizon Online."

Isabelle thought that Arthur probably was still hung up with the past, looking at how worried he was about her dying. It was as if…

'He's still afraid of dying, probably. Figures. He said he just arrived in this world for a few days, a month at best.'

Then she arrived at the third paragraph, and she gasped in surprise. This wasn't at the level of beloved again.

Isabelle's face blushed a deep red as she quickly closed the floating window by clicking the red X at the corner. She didn't know what to do but to cover her face with her hand.

"Stupid…" She muttered. Her tone was a mix between happy and sad. "Stupid."

But then, she needed to reply to him. Of course, she would write something long to make him feel like reading it was a chore.

So she took out the [Love Letter] from her inventory and began to write while still sitting in an M position on the sandy beach.

The matter with Isabelle was concluded with Cecil's victory. I helped her a little bit by disturbing Isabelle, but I was surprised by the fact that I had gotten a reply from the onyx-haired girl just a little while later.

And for some reason, her reply was so long.

'I guess she wanted to get back at me.' I thought as I began to read the reply while sitting on a couch inside the captain's cabin.

I was asked to wait, locked here, as Crane and Cecil met the sailors to talk about business. The other thugs also prepared for the ship to sail, and the agile Elf girl from earlier had been appointed to look at the surroundings and was currently on the crow's nest holding a telescope.

That was why it was the perfect chance to read what Isabelle had sent me as a reply.

"Just hug that cow tits that you like so much, no need to call it a plan. I will just return to the inn and sleep without caring about you, stupid."

Such was the first paragraph she wrote to me, inviting a smile to my face. How cute she was, reverting to the tone she often used back in the past.

Then I read the continuation. It was filled with curses that wished for me to die and get revived because she almost got revived in the church, thanks to me. Come to think of it, I hadn't told her that I couldn't die in this world or it was Game Over for me.

Reading that, I assumed Isabelle could revive in this world, and that reassured me a little.

The letter was similar to mine, but there was no love word in it. I got discouraged a little, but I knew she couldn't be honest.

More importantly, it seemed this letter was really just something she wrote for me because she wanted to get back from earlier.

"I appreciate the letter, Isabelle," I muttered as I clicked the red X to close the floating window.

My senses were heightened. The conversation that happened near the ship and even the thugs was clear to me.

Cecil seemed to be in a good mood after I praised her earlier after she defeated Isabelle, and she even had Crane take care of the business. I also heard her plan to take the captain's cabin for herself tonight to play with me, kicking Crane outside to control the ship from the main Helm in the cold of night.

It seemed like I needed to prepare for a long night. I was always ready, though.

And then they returned after a good 30 minutes.

"Boy, we're setting sail now! Are you ready?"

Cecil burst inside the room and declared loudly. Her breasts bounced with each step, and her hips swayed left and right.

She then sat beside me and brought my head to her lap. All I could see was now her large breasts. I couldn't even see her face from this position.

"Once we're on the sea, we will have all the time we need. I can let you play with my boobs again. What do you think?"

"That's wonderful," I replied with a big smile, not that she could see it.

"Fufufu. Seeing how much you drank my milk last night, I know you will like it."

We talked for a while, with me pretending to follow all her orders. Just a day more. Or rather, just half a day more, as tonight I would begin my plan to dominate Cecil.

I already found out about her requirements.

Name: Cecil

Race: Minotaur Kin

--

I definitely needed to drink a lot tonight and didn't hold myself back. I would make her unable to forget me and make her treasure me more, but not at the point of an obsession similar to Mia's. They both had green hair, although Cecil was lighter, but I was worried.

"Raise the anchor!"

Crane's loud shout reverberated through the area as I felt the ship begin moving.

"Woah…"

Cecil's breasts bounced again due to the sudden movement and fell to my face.

"Ah, sorry. Are you okay?"

"I-I am okay," I replied shyly.

This was the end. The last time I would say this.

My innocent boy's acts in front of her would end tonight. And I would show who was superior on the bed tonight.

Crane mentioned the location of the treasure was only a few hours from the port in his secret conversation with Cecil.

So while he did that, I could make Cecil busy in this room and dominate her as soon as we arrived.

'I can finally say goodbye to this disgusting act soon.'

After we set sail, I was allowed to take a step out of the captain's cabin, although Cecil was still following me everywhere.

Behind this large ship were 10 smaller ships with the same blue flag raised on top of their crow's nest with a beer symbol in the middle. They belonged to the sailor I met at Mermaid's Rest that night, and apparently, they were merchants, according to Cecil's explanation.

"They need protection until we reach Tiga Port City, and we will reach that place tomorrow after we stop at some point to rest and recover," Cecil added as we stood on the quarterdeck, looking at the ten ships following us from behind.

Stopping at some point, that must be where they planned to do something to the merchant. And the fact Cecil offered to sleep with me tonight and got the captain's cabin by herself, she probably didn't want me to see what would happen to those merchant sailors.

'So they will reach that stop at night.'

Nothing would happen before then. Rather… something couldn't happen before that because the monsters had been avoiding us since we set sail, swimming away as if we were their bane of existence.

The red dots that filled my radar before had turned into a fan shape as we passed through the sea.

'So even if they don't have that treasure in hand, the effect they use beforehand or the fact one of them equipped the treasure beforehand protects them from sea monsters?'

Something like that also existed in Horizon Online. In fact, my [Caliburn] also worked like that.

It had a passive to increase my Holy Magic damage. Even if I put it in my home and I was away, the effect would still be in place as long as I equipped it beforehand.

That meant this treasure must be a high-Level magic item. But that brought a question. How did they equip it? Even Sins Paradise also had a Level requirement to equip an item to activate their effects.

There must be something I missed. Whatever it was, I would find it later.

For now, though…

I turned around and was greeted by rowdy thugs running around to keep the ship going. Crane held the helm above the captain's cabin and a telescope in his other hand to scout the area. An evil grin was plastered on his mouth, and he didn't even hide it.

But I was an innocent boy. I knew nothing about something evil and wouldn't notice that.

The Elf girl from earlier nested in the crow's nest, looking at the horizon. The strong sea wind kept the sail fluttering around. They flapped and created a loud sound, and the ship was rocking from the waves crashing against its hull.

It was at that moment her expression brightened, and she turned to look at the deck.

"A flying island is spotted in the distance!" She shouted loudly, bringing everyone to attention.

Her shout brought my attention, too, as I turned my gaze over to the vast horizon of the sea filled with nothing but blue color. But then, a dot appeared in the distance. That dot wasn't big at first, but as the ship approached, it became larger and larger until I noticed it was floating in the air.

"Woah…" I muttered in amazement as I watched the flying island.

It wasn't big. The size was only even half of this ship. But the sight of it was beautiful.

A greenery filled the top area, and a bluish light covered the dirt underneath to keep it floating in the sky. That bluish light was Mana, a natural one that formed from the resources mixed in the dirt.

What kind of resources mixed in wasn't something I knew. My knowledge was limited by the flavor text in Sins Paradise when the game introduced the flying island; even that wasn't perfect as I had forgotten many things already.

However, beautiful things were still beautiful, and I liked them.

At that time, I felt two soft mounds pressed against my shoulder as a pair of arms hugged my waist.

"Is this your first time seeing a flying island?" Cecil whispered close to my ear in a soft voice. Her breath tickled my nape and sent a shiver down my spine. "This is not my first, but I still like them." She continued.

"This is my first time." I replied as I tried to keep my innocent face from breaking.

Why didn't the sun set faster? We were heading to the west, so the sun was right in front of us. It was still hanging on the horizon, behind the flying island, and cast a warm orange glow to the world as we passed right by the island from underneath.

Judging from our distance, I might be able to land on it just by jumping from this ship. I was trying hard to contain my excitement and jump away from the putrid flower smell that had been tickling my nose since earlier.

Yes, a putrid smell often appeared when a woman was aroused and getting slightly wet.

Since we were alone at the back and no one saw us, Cecil seemed unable to contain herself anymore, especially after she rubbed her boobs against my back. Her erect nipple was visible through her thin bikini, and breast milk was leaking from it slightly.

"Hey, do you know what I liked when I watched the flying island?"

Cecil's whisper had gotten closer and more seductive. Her tongue danced around my ear as she softly pulled me toward the captain's cabin, still within her cradle. A soft and wet sensation trickled my neck as Cecil closed the door behind us.

"I like to drink some booze. But we have nothing like that inside, so let's replace it with something else, okay? Tell me what you want."

All in time, I was still in her hug, facing the other way.

'Damn it.'

I wasn't supposed to like this, but I couldn't help but get excited when a girl made a move toward me first. And I would never refuse a girl coming toward me unless I hated them or wanted to evade them.

As for Cecil… She was someone who I wouldn't refuse her advance of.

So I turned around and faced her straight, pulling her down and kissing her as my answer. She seemed to be surprised by my sudden kiss, but then she began to enjoy it and inserted her tongue inside my mouth.

Afterward, I pushed her onto the bed and pinned her shoulder with one hand. Then, I grabbed her butt cheeks and squeezed them tightly, enjoying how they squirmed under my fingers.

She moaned lightly while rubbing her tits against my chest, causing a small amount of breast milk to leak out between her bikini. As much as I loved the taste of it, I couldn't wait any longer and kissed her deeply once again.

We broke off the kiss and looked each other in the eyes.

"Naughty boy. What makes you so eager?" Cecil asked teasingly. "Are there some hidden desires in your heart? Or are you simply too horny to hold yourself back?"

I grinned at her question. Not the innocent boy smile I put up as an act, but a real grin that I showed to the girls I dominated before.

"I really want to drink your milk, Cecil."

The moment I said that Cecil's expression changed drastically. Her lips trembled, and she stared at me with wide-open eyes. Her breathing became heavy, and her nipples hardened further.

"As I expected, you're a pervert," she muttered quietly. "But...I'll allow it."

This time, she pulled my face and kissed me passionately. Our tongues tangled together as our hands groped each other's bodies. She also turned over, pushing me onto my back, and climbed on top of me.

Her large breasts hung above mine as she straddled my hips while she continued to kiss me. Her bikini was already wet with pussy juices, and now it was dripping even more.

My cock twitched and grew harder. But I need to put up something first.

While exploring her mouth and interlocking our tongues, I spread a certain powder from my inventory. This was a special type of powder called [Darkness Curtain, filling the area with powder, creating an area that couldn't be seen from outside, although it appeared normal from our perspective.

The captain's cabin was secluded enough that no one could see us if we stayed here. Even if someone did find us, they wouldn't notice anything because of the Darkness Curtain. It was perfect for what I needed right now.

And so, after Cecil was satisfied with kissing me, she pulled away with saliva still connecting our tongues. My cock throbbed painfully as I felt its heat rising up, begging to be touched.

"Mmm~, do you need me to take care of it?" Cecil suggested, looking down at my crotch. "You can drink all the milk while I take care of your big cock."

I nodded silently.

'Let's give her the advantage first. Then, once she lowers her guard, I will make her fall for me even more.'

Cecil let me lay on her lap as she undressed, revealing her naked body. The sight of her huge breasts and curvy waist made me drool, but I didn't stop myself. Instead, I reached out toward Cecil's boobs. They were so soft, yet firm and warm. And more importantly, she lactated delicious milk.

With both hands, I started to knead her breasts gently.

"Ahh~! Ahhh..." Cecil groaned softly, leaning forward and hugging me tight. "Don't squeeze too hard, boy! I know it's my fault that you become naughty, but drink slowly, will you?"

That wasn't true, though. I had always been like this.

Rather, I had been holding back until now. Now that I no longer needed to care about infiltrating as we had set sail and even sailed toward the treasure they hid, it was time for me to unleash my full potential.

"Hahaha~!" I laughed happily, squeezing her breasts even tighter. "It feels good when you get excited, doesn't it?"

"A-Ahh~! Mmph~, yes..."

Cecil's eyes widened in surprise as I squeezed her breasts harder than usual. Her breath quickened, and her whole body shivered slightly. She squirted milk from her nipple, splattering all over my hand.

"Haah...haaah~!!"

"It's delicious," I praised her as I licked the milk off my fingers. Then I moved my head closer to her breast, licking it clean. "Can you help me down there, Cecil? I'm going to suck your tits dry."

"Hnn, sure. That's what I wanted anyway."

After saying that, she leaned forward and wrapped her arms around my pants. With her soft breasts pressed against me, I grabbed them tightly with both hands and bit her nipple lightly.

"Oooh~!" Cecil moaned loudly. "Geez, you're being rough. You better not break these nipples."

"Oh, don't worry," I replied teasingly. "They are pretty durable. And I want to drink a lot of your milk."

'At least 0.7 Liter to finish the requirement to dominate you.' I added in my mind.

Then I sucked her nipples, pulling and sucking on them roughly. A small stream of white liquid dripped from her breast, flowing down my chin and chest due to my lying position.

Soon enough, I heard her moan slightly.

"It's time for me to take care of your little boy~!" Cecil said seductively before she pulled my pants down, freeing my fully erect dick.

Her eyes went wide upon seeing how long and thick my penis was.

"Wha-, whaaat?!" She exclaimed, staring at my erection in awe. "Your cock is so big! Isn't it bigger than yesterday?"

Indeed, it was much larger today compared to last night. I was just not in the mood to be taken care of. I loved being the one on the top and thinking about dominating this cowgirl made me really excited tonight.

So I answered simply.

"Yes."

"What an amazing cock~! Are you gonna use it to fuck me later?" She asked, giggling nervously.

"I'll definitely skewer you. But first, I want some milk."

"Alrighty." Cecil smiled mischievously. "But I will also try your milk semen this time, okay? I had no chance yesterday because I didn't know what to do."

I chuckled. Right, yesterday was her first. And today, I would teach her what a real pleasure was and make her fall today, making her think that I was more precious than any treasures she had or even her brother.

She was weak to an innocent boy, so I would use that.

"Okay then." I grinned, sitting up straight and taking hold of her breast once again. "Please make me feel good."

"Of course, boy~! Just like I did yesterday~!"

And so, I took Cecil's breast between my lips and started to suckle on it. My tongue explored every nook of her nipple while I teased it with my teeth, making her gasp and moan in delight. Her milk flowed out faster than I expected, coating my mouth with creamy white fluid.

The taste was different from last night. It tasted sweeter somehow, maybe because she felt pleasure. The taste became more delicious, and she produced more.

"Hnn~! Oh gosh, you're so skillful with your tongue~! It feels good!!!"

She pushed herself onto my face, moaning loudly as she tried to push her tit deeper into my mouth.

"I don't want to lose, boy. I will also make you feel good. Please let me show my skills too~!"

Cecil began to playfully tease my cock with her hand, stroking it slowly but firmly. The sensation tickled and aroused me greatly, causing a drop of precum to leak out. Soon after, another followed suit, forming two tiny puddles on the sheets below us.

"Mmm~! Yesss~!" Cecil groaned lustily, rubbing her pussy with her other hand now.

My head was no longer on her lap as I hugged her breasts instead, allowing Cecil to continue playing with my cock. Her warm hand slid smoothly along its length. Meanwhile, she kept her breast close to my face, letting me drink her milk and play with it.

"Nhn!" I grunted in response, feeling my orgasm approaching rapidly. "Cecil... Your mouth."

"Oh? You're about to cum?" Cecil replied softly, looking up at me with a smile. "Let me give you my best service yet~!"

With those words, she lowered her lips towards my throbbing shaft as she moved. Her tongue came forth, licking over the tip of my cock. Then she opened her mouth wider and engulfed halfway through.

"Ugh..." I gasped as her hot wetness enveloped my dick. Her tongue was long, even longer than many of my girls. It enveloped most of my members inside her throat.

She moved to the rhythm of her breath, sliding her tongue around my cock. Her hands gripped my hips tightly, keeping me still against her body. Her saliva coated my cock, lubricating it further for her oral pleasure.

After several minutes of slow deepthroating, she stopped moving her tongue. Instead, Cecil raised her head back up and looked at me with a grin.

"You're ready to cum already, aren't you~?"

I looked down at her. There was sweat covering our bodies. My balls were full and tight, begging to release their load soon.

"Yes." I replied quietly. "I'm almost there."

"Then cum inside me~! Cum in my mouth and all over my tits~!"

Cecil said that with such excitement, I couldn't help myself anymore. I thrust upwards and held her head with both hands, guiding my cock to her waiting mouth.

As I entered her, she moaned happily, wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me closer. My pelvis hit her chin hard before I could enter fully, forcing her to open her jaw wide to accommodate me. With each stroke, she swallowed more of my cock until, finally, I bottomed out.

Her cheeks bulged slightly due to the size difference between us. But her lips stretched enough to fit my entire cock within her mouth. That alone made me feel very pleased, knowing how much effort she put into pleasing me just now.

Then she began to move. Her breasts were pushed against my chest as she bobbed her head up and down, slurping eagerly on my cock. As she sucked, I grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled it roughly. The pain only spurred her on, encouraging her to take more and more of my cock inside her mouth.

Soon, I felt an intense pressure building up behind my stomach. I had been holding back this whole time, but now my orgasm was imminent.

"Cecil..." I whispered hoarsely. "Take it all inside your mouth!"

And then I climaxed. A thick rope of cum shot straight into her mouth. She gasped in surprise, but then she gulped it down without hesitation, swallowing every single bit.

Afterward, she continued sucking my cock like nothing happened.

Her body shivered as she came too. I saw goosebumps appear across her exposed flesh. Her breathing became ragged, making her breasts shake gently while her milk dripped out from her nipple.

When she finished, Cecil licked her lips clean and smiled at me teasingly.

"Yup! Now I have your seed stored away inside my belly~!"

It seemed that she enjoyed having my cum inside her. I didn't mind either way, though, since I'd always wanted to do something similar to what I did earlier. The fact she liked it was a bit surprising, but she looked quite sexy while licking her lips to get all my semen that slipped out of her mouth.

"Hahaha, so good~!" She giggled lightly. "Your semen is delicious~!"

"That's because it comes directly from a young boy," I replied cheekily.

Cecil gave me another naughty look, her eyes sparkling mischievously.

"Mmm~ So you want more milk, don'tcha? Somehow you are different from before, boy. Is this your real personality?"

"Well, yes." I nodded. "Are you disappointed that I am not as innocent as before?"

"Not really... You know, if anything, I think it makes me like you more. Taking care and making a naughty boy as you behave is my favorite thing to do."

I raised my body and looked Cecil straight in the eye. I used Purification to clean my semen off her face and mouth, making it clean again. Then I grabbed her breasts roughly, pinching her nipple between two fingers.

"If you say so~" I grinned. "But first, let me return the favor~ I will make you cum a lot."

My hands squeezed her large breasts, squeezing them together. They jiggled and shook under my grip as I lifted one breast above the other. Both nipples pointed toward me, eager for attention.

With a quick movement, I leaned forward and took her left nipple into my mouth. It hardened instantly, pressing against my lips even harder than usual.

"Ahn~!" Cecil moaned softly, tilting her head to give me better access. "I'd like to see you try, boy. Don't underestimate this big sister!"

"Big sister who just graduated from her virginity yesterday." I teased her.

"Weren't you also just a virgin yesterday?" She asked, smirking.

"I lied."

Saying so, I bit her nipple and moved my hand toward her already-drenched pussy.

The sudden pain and pleasure caused her to yelp loudly, causing her tits to bounce wildly. I couldn't help myself; they were simply too tempting. After all, it wasn't often that someone got to play with such perfect boobs. And she lactated on top of that.

This girl who wanted to dominate me let out a yelp because of the sudden pleasure she had never experienced.

"W-Wait!"

She realized she was being dominated by me. But instead of resisting or escaping, she tried to resist my dominance. This made me smile and tease her.

"Didn't you say you wanted to make me behave?" I said. "So why stop yourself here? Let's continue, shall we? I still want to drink your milk."

I sucked her nipple hard, biting it slightly to cause some slight discomfort. Her milk started flowing faster, spilling over onto my chin. With a satisfied smirk, I drank them and did not care about Cecil's loud moan.

"Aaahh!" Cecil screamed, her voice filled with lust. "S-Stop! If we keep going like this, I'm gonna lose control!"

"No," I answered firmly. "You can't escape. Not now."

Cecil gasped when I pushed my finger inside her. Her inner walls clenched around my digit immediately, letting me feel how wet she truly was. She tried to push my hand away, but was unable to.

"H-How dare you..." She growled angrily. "Do you know what happens if you don't obey me?! I won't protect you!!"

Her words sounded serious, but there was no fear behind them. Instead, she looked angry and frustrated rather than scared.

"What are you talking about?" I chuckled. "Who cares whether you're protecting me or not? I approached you because I wanted you in the first place. What could possibly happen to me if you weren't around?"

"Boy! How dare you?!" She shouted. "Don't you realize I would have killed you if I didn't like you right now!?"

"Hmm..." I hummed, pushing my finger deeper into her pussy.

She squirmed beneath me, groaning deeply. The sight of her struggling only aroused me further.

"Nng... Nnnghhh..." Cecil panted heavily, her breathing becoming ragged.

It seemed like her resistance was fading fast. She stopped fighting me, allowing me to move freely. My free hand went down to her ass, grabbing it tightly.

"Mmmmmm~!"

"Aren't you enjoying this right now?" I chuckled. "And you are all talking about making me behave. Look at who behaves just from a bit of pleasure now, hmmmm?"

"Gahhhh! You bastard! Ahn~!"

I pulled back, releasing her tit from my mouth. As soon as I did, the milk spilled out, splashing onto my face.

"Ha ha~!" I laughed, licking my lips clean. "I really love the taste of your milk. So sweet~"

"Bastard! Stop teasing me!" Cecil cried, glaring daggers at me. "If you keep doing this, I'll kill you!"

"Oh please," I scoffed. "Why should I listen to you? I'm much more powerful than you, after all."

"Wha—!"

Cecil's eyes widened upon hearing my words. It seemed like she finally understood what kind of person I was.

"Ooh, do you understand now?" I chuckled. "I let you fuck me yesterday. How is it? Did you have fun?"

"I don't!"

"Lies."

I grinned wickedly, leaning closer toward her. My finger went deeper, finding her G-spot. When I wriggled it around, Cecil's expression was a sight to behold.

"Ahh~!" She moaned.

Even though she said no, her body betrayed her. Her hips buckled against mine, forcing my fingers deep into her. Because of what we did yesterday and earlier, her body had already desired me so badly that it couldn't help itself anymore.

This was how I would train this pirate cowgirl to be mine, unable to forget me.

"That's good." I purred softly. "Now tell me how you liked it."

"Uuugh..." She breathed shakily.

"If you tell me, then I will give you something special."

"W-Wait!" Cecil cried out. "Just wait! Don't force me to speak!"

My grin grew wider. This woman was starting to panic, which meant I was close to getting what I wanted.

"Fine." I nodded. "Then I shall ask you another question instead."

"Y-Yes?"

"Do you have any treasure hidden somewhere within your ship?"

Cecil hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Well..." She started slowly. "There might be some things aboard, yes."

"Such as?" I asked curiously.

"A chest full of gold coins, maybe?"

"Anything else?"

"Perhaps weapons, perhaps..."

Nothing in this ship. I thought she at least had another magic item, but apparently not. That was too bad. Still, I knew where to look, so I didn't need to be in haste.

"Alright then... Do you want to continue having sex with me, Cecil? Or do you wish to leave?"

"...Please stop asking me these questions..."

"Answer me."

"No!"

The answer came immediately. Apparently, she still preferred her treasure over me.

Well, I guessed that made sense. After all, she'd been through hell when she tried to resist me. But I knew that was only temporary. Soon enough, she would learn to accept my authority over her.

It was when my innocent boy acts returned.

"I-I am sorry, Cecil." I apologized, lowering myself down to Cecil's eye level. "I thought you would like to have a manly guy as your partner, so I tried. But if you don't enjoy being with me, then..."

Cecil's expression was funny. She looked completely baffled as she blinked repeatedly.

"Boy?" She muttered.

"I am truly sorry."

Fake tears formed around my eyes as I gazed into hers.

"You're lying."

She didn't believe me. And why should she? I did all that to her earlier.

But I didn't stop.

"I... I only wanted to look cool in front of you. Do you know? To show off to the girl I like that I could get your attention and satisfy you. I just got carried away because you were so beautiful. I never intended to hurt you or anything like that."

"W-Wait! What are you talking about?!"

"Hahaha!" I laughed. "Don't worry. I won't try to seduce you anymore. Instead, I promise that I will disappear after this. Thank you for the experience for the last two days, Cecil."

Saying so, I crawled off the bed. But then, my hand was pulled.

"Wait, boy!" Cecil called out, grabbing onto my arm. "What are you going to do?"

"Oh, nothing much," I replied casually. "I'm leaving this place right now."

"Why?!"

"I hurt you, didn't I? So, I'll leave the ship and won't bother you again."

"N-No! You can stay here with me!"

'How gullible.' I smirked inside. Now it would be easy.

"Yes! You can stay. Rather, stay with me." Cecil begged desperately. "You love my milk, right? You can drink more! Here." She grabbed her breasts and squeezed them together. The sound of flesh smacking echoed throughout the room, followed by warm liquid splashing across my face and mouth.

"Mmm~" I moaned happily. "Yes. This is truly delicious."

After finishing drinking from her tits, I sat back against the wall. Cecil crawled over to me and hugged me from behind. It felt so nice to be embraced by the softness of Cecil's body once again. This time, she seemed to be gentle towards me.

"Thank you for letting me keep you, Arthur," Cecil whispered into my ear. "And thank you for forgiving me."

Her lips brushed lightly against mine. Cecil from yesterday wouldn't do something like this. But today, it was different. Today, I could feel her love.

'I expected a lot, but it's so… easy?' I wondered to myself. 'Am I too good at this? Or the woman in this world is too easy to fall in love with someone else?'

Whatever the case, I decided to go along with things. For now, anyway. If Cecil really loved me, she would definitely agree to have more sex with me.

"You know, I like the wild you from before. Not naive and manly. So I understand how you get carried away when I say I liked you more than your innocent side. That's not bad. But still, please don't let it happen again."

"Okay."

"So, what shall we do next?" She asked. "Do you still want to drink my milk? The night seems to have arrived, so we can have this captain's cabin by ourselves. No one will bother us here."

"Yeah." I nodded, keeping my innocent act for now. I still needed a lot more milk to finish the requirement. "But if I act like before, can you cooperate with me, Cecil?"

"Of course, Arthur." She smiled brightly. "Just tell me whatever you need, okay? As long as you are mine, I will always give you what you want."

'No, girl. You are mine and not the other way around.' I retorted in my mind.

"Great. Then..." I started thinking. "...Let's have some fun tonight."

I turned around and kissed Cecil deeply. Her tongue entered my mouth and explored every inch of my mouth. We both tasted each other's saliva until our tongues met. Our hands touched each others' bodies. My fingers traced down her chest while hers went lower and rubbed my crotch.

The kiss broke apart, and Cecil looked at me with lustful eyes. "Let me be on the top, Arthur."

Since earlier, Cecil had been calling my name instead of just boy. I guess she wanted to show me that she already recognized me.

"Sure." I agreed. "Do as you please, Cecil. The night is long."

"Then, I'll start now." She got up and positioned herself above me, bringing her breasts together with her hands so her nipples were touching each other. "Take these big boobs, Arthur. Drink from both nipples at once as I use your dick to satisfy my pussy."

"Hmm." I hummed in delight. They felt amazing. Soft, round, and firm. And they smelled sweet. Even though she was covered in sweat, her sweet scent lingered. The putrid flower scent of pheromones and sex.

With those words, Cecil lowered her hips onto my cock. Her pussy swallowed my entire length. The sensation made my head spin. With each thrust, my penis slid deeper into her depths. Each penetration sent shivers through my spine until I felt my tip hitting her cervix.

"Ahhhnnn!!" Cecil screamed out loudly.

She bit her lip. I knew then that she was close to climaxing. She must've experienced both pain and pleasure from my cock hitting her cervix, and I grinned in delight.

As she rode my shaft, I reached for her breasts and held them over her hands, plunging those nipples with white traces into my mouth. I sucked hard on her nipples, causing her to moan even louder. I didn't stop sucking and drinking her milk.

"Mmmph! Mmph!! Ahhhhhh!" Cecil moaned loudly.

My mouth was filled with her sweet nectar. It flowed freely between my lips and dripped off my chin.

After several minutes, Cecil stopped moving.

"T-That was amazing. Just a single trust... What did you actually do, Arthur?" She slowly lifted herself up, looking at me. My tip was still inside her warm and drenched pussy. "Did you take a drug to enlarge your dick?!"

"Nope," I chuckled. "Not at all. This is because I am excited to drink your milk and sleep with you until morning."

"Sleep? Fufufu, didn't you mean having sex?" Cecil hugged me tightly, burying my face against her bosoms. "Then I am going to move slowly. If I move fast, you won't be able to drink my milk directly, right? Do you promise not to hold back yourself?"

"Yes." I replied firmly with a smile.

'Of course, I won't hold back. I want to make you know the height of pleasure tonight. And I don't need to be careful as I want you to break and fall.'

Cecil began to grind her pelvis against mine. She moved slowly, enough that it wasn't painful but also quick enough that I could feel her tightness gripping my member.

"This feels good... I am going to pleasure your nipple, Cecil."

"Haha. Good boy." She giggled happily. "You really are obedient, aren't you? Just a bit wild earlier, but as expected, you're mine!"

Her voice was soft and gentle, yet her words were full of lust. I couldn't help myself but smile at her useless attempt to dominate me without knowing she was dancing on my palm.

I grabbed both of her tits and squeezed them gently. I licked her left nipple before switching to the other one. I gave it equal attention, licking and sucking it like there was no tomorrow. I drank a lot of milk today and wouldn't let any drop go to waste.

"Aah~! Aaaaah~!" Cecil cried out loud when I switched to the other breast. "Fuuuh, yesss! Drink it! I love it when you lick and suck my nipple!"

"Yeaahhhh..." I groaned.

"Good boy!" She said, squeezing my cheeks. "Don't stop doing what I told you to do."

The sight of the cowgirl bouncing on top of me while rubbing her large breasts against my chest was too much for me. I was about to cum. But I didn't want to ruin this moment by releasing my seed just yet. So, I kept grinding my crotch against hers and continued drinking her milk.

"Ooh, ohhh, ooouuch!" Cecil gasped.

"What's wrong?" I asked, worried. Did something happen? Was she feeling pain or discomfort due to my size?

"Nothing, I'm fine. It hurts a little, but I can handle it. Don't worry so much, okay?"

"Okay." I nodded. Then, I softly kissed her neck and whispered into her ear, "But don't tell anyone else how big I am. Or else all other girls will flock around me, wanting to have fun with my huge cock."

"Eeeeek!" Cecil squealed in fright. "Of course not."

Even if she talked big about dominating a man, an inexperienced woman with only her body as a weapon like Cecil was easy to please. She hadn't known about the pleasure of being dominated by a man stronger than her.

And I would show her that pleasure tonight.

Cecil kept moving up and down my length. Her wet pussy gripped my member tightly every time she bounced on me. The friction made her clit rub against my pubic bone. That was all it took for her to climax.

"Ah, ah, uunghh!!"

She didn't even think about allowing me to drink her milk directly from her milk as they bounced wildly with her movement. She simply rode me hard and rough. After experiencing her first orgasm, she immediately started riding me harder and faster.

"Ufufu, you're enjoying this, right?! You'll enjoy more later on~!" She smiled seductively.

I was glad she enjoyed our fucking session. And I was glad she was still thinking that she had me in her palm while the fact was the opposite.

After several minutes of vigorous thrusting, Cecil finally reached another peak. As soon as she did, I felt her inner walls tighten around my shaft. My own orgasm came after her second one. I held onto her ass and pushed her hips towards me, forcing my cock deep inside her womb.

"Ohhh! Uuuaaaaaaagh!!!" Cecil screamed loudly.

Our orgasms mixed together and sent waves of bliss through us. We moaned in unison and lost ourselves in the euphoria. Our bodies shook uncontrollably until we collapsed on each other.

I shot my load inside her warm vagina, filling her with my sperm. Every single spurt of semen caused her vaginal muscles to contract and squeeze my dick tightly.

Cecil's body shuddered violently when she finished cumming. Her nipples sprayed out milk from their tips. They flowed freely across her boobs and hit my face. I opened my mouth to swallow her precious nectar.

When I looked back at her eyes, I saw tears flowing down her cheek and her tongue stuck out in ecstasy. Her tanned skin was now covered in her sweat and milk.

"Mmm... Mmmm..." Cecil moaned quietly.

We stayed like that for some time. Neither of us wanted to move away from each other. My dick was still erect and inside her pussy as her breasts pressed against my chest. Her face moved slowly, seeking mine, and begged for a kiss.

I gave her what she wanted and sucked her tongue deep into my mouth. When I released her lips, I could feel her soft breath against my throat.

"You taste good," I complimented her, smiling. "Now, let's continue. I am not satisfied yet and still want to drink your milk."

"A greedy one, aren't you?" Cecil giggled.

Then, she leaned forward and grabbed both of my hands. She pulled them off her tits and placed it on either side of her head. With those actions, she guided my head and kissed me passionately.

My fingers found her small pink nipple and began to gently caress it. In return, she bit my lower gently. A hot sensation ran through my whole body.

The next thing I knew, her hips had moved slowly, grinding her crotch against my pelvis. My cock inside her pussy continued to slide along her inner wall.

Her breathing became heavier and quicker. She broke our kiss and stared straight into my eyes with lustful desire.

"I shall move slowly now, so drink my milk. I... can only cum when you drink straight from my breast."

A/N: Is the pace right now already alright, or should I increase the pace so this arc will finish faster and move to the next arc? Your opinion is appreciated xD

That statement caught me off guard. But I wasn't going to deny myself something that sounded so wonderful. My training had paid off a little. So I obeyed her command and drank directly from her tits.

It was a blissful experience. Her breasts were huge and heavy, but they weren't too firm or bouncy. Instead, they were very smooth and silky. It was also great having her milk dripping down my chin instead of spraying everywhere.

"Yesss!" She groaned excitedly.

I gulped down her sweet nectar and licked her nipples clean afterward. Then, I pushed her down and pinned her under me in a mating press.

"Nnngg... Mmph!" She cried softly.

I took advantage of her vulnerable state by kissing her neck and shoulders. Her legs wrapped around my waist and squeezed tight. Soon enough, her pussy tightened again as she climaxed once more. She didn't even care who was on top now.

"Ahh... Ahhhh!" She mumbled between breaths.

She was panting heavily, probably due to exhaustion. However, her mind remained focused on me. That made me happy.

As much as I loved her milk, I couldn't wait any longer. My grin widened as I watched her breasts bouncing with each of my trust, spraying her milky juice all over my body.

"Hahaha! Do you like this, Cecil? I am using all my knowledge to try to satisfy you."

"Yes! Yes!" She cheered happily.

With that, I decided to stop teasing her and fucked her hard and fast. My dick slid deep into her pussy and her juices lubricated its movement. The friction felt amazing as she clenched her thighs around my waist.

"Do you want to become my woman, Cecil? You will never need another man after this night."

"Ugh... Uuuuuhhh..." She moaned loudly. "Oh yes!"

After hearing those words, I lost the last ounce of restraint and buried my dick fully inside her cunt. Women were always the same. They all wanted to be dominated by strong men.

I pounded her faster than before, feeling every inch of my shaft sliding in and out.

Soon, we reached an intense orgasmic moment where our bodies shook together. We screamed and moaned loudly as I kept thrusting into her until my seed erupted.

"Ooohhh!"

This time, she produced even more milk, and they squirted out onto my stomach. I immediately brought her nipples together and drank the gushed-out milk.

"Mmm... Delicioussss~"

When I finished drinking, Cecil collapsed on the bed with her eyes rolled back and her tongue stuck out. Our bodies were covered in sweat and our hair looked disheveled.

But there was no way I would end it here. So even though she was completely exhausted, I thrust my cock deep inside her once again in a missionary position.

"Aaahhhhh..." She screamed in surprise, not expecting such rough treatment.

However, she soon accepted it and let go of her arms to tightly wrap her legs around me. This allowed me to pound her harder without worrying about hurting her.

Her hands were on her breasts, and she sucked her nipple while presenting the other for me to suckle. I did just that, licking her breast and sucking at her sensitive bud.

We both came twice during that session. Afterward, she hugged me and refused to let me go while I drank her milk. After a bit of rest, she straddled me again with a sexy expression and began riding me.

"GyaaAAAH!"

Our orgasms seemed to come one right after the next. She even did a tail job on me, which was quite interesting since she's a cowgirl, while I sucked her breast milk.

And when it was just past midnight, a notification of me finishing one of the requirements to dominate Cecil rang inside my head.

'It's time.'

"Hey, Cecil," I called out to her, who was lying beside me, exhausted.

"What is it?" She asked sleepily.

"Do you want to know something I have been hiding?"

"Hmm...? What could that be?"

I grinned and moved on top of her. She didn't suspect anything and circled her arms around my neck.

"You see, I have seen you before we met in that tavern."

"Huh? When was that?!"

"Just a day before." I leaned closer and drank a potion I took out from my inventory. I didn't swallow it and kept it in my mouth.

Cecil didn't think anything wrong, even if I took out something out of thin air, as her focus was already shifted to pleasure. Her brain was fizzing away and could only be thinking of sex.

And so when I kissed her lips, she instantly opened them wide to welcome me in, not even thinking that I wanted her to drink the potion that was still in my mouth.

"Ahh..." She moaned softly, gulping the potion down. "And so what?"

The taste of alcohol mixed with honey made her feel dizzy, but she was too horny to care. This potion wasn't an aphrodisiac or something. But it was a potion used in battle to increase one sense and focus.

It also increased sensitivity. And when used in sex.

"Oooohh!!"

The effect was amazing. Just a slight touch of my hand against her skin caused Cecil to moan loudly in pleasure. Her body convulsed under mine, and she squirted cum everywhere. Her back arched up like a cat being petted, and her pussy tightened.

While she was falling into a world of pleasure, I whispered to her.

"I am here to steal you and your treasure. The treasure you've been hiding with your brother, the one that controls the sea monsters."

Then I thrust my cock inside her tight hole instead of using my fingers. It felt incredible. The softness of her inner walls gripped my shaft. My balls slapped against her pelvis.

"Aahhnn!!"

My hips slammed into her over and over again. Each thrust made us gasp louder than the last.

"Hahahaha, you like me, no? Be my woman, Cecil! Let me dominate you! Be my slave!"

She tried resisting but couldn't do much, given how turned on she was. Plus, this potion was really effective. She started moaning uncontrollably now, begging me to fuck her harder and faster.

"Oooohhh!! Fuck meeee! Do it harder, Arthur... Please!! You're minee!!"

Hearing her last sentence, I stopped and pulled my cock out.

"I'm yours?" I asked in a cold tone, looking straight at her eyes. "No, I am not yours." I replied, showing her my real personality. "I will never be yours. If you keep saying that, I will stop right now."

"W-Why? After you make me like this!" She looked disappointed.

I grabbed her hair and yanked her face towards mine. Our faces were inches apart and our noses touched each other.

"Because you are a dirty pirate cow girl who kidnapped an innocent boy like me to be used as your toy, no? Unfortunately, that innocent boy was just an act I did to drink your milk and infiltrated this ship."

"Nngh, N-Not true! But why— You're supposed to be mine. I even have se—"

But I cut her off.

"You have sex with me? No, you forced me that night. But I don't mind because I honestly like you, Cecil." I caressed her softly.

"That's why, be mine and I will continue fucking you until we arrive at our destination. Not only that, I will grant you many treasures if you wish for them and a lavish lifestyle in Academy City. What's your answer?"

Her eyes widened, and her jaw dropped open.

"Wha—?! W-Wait, hold on there! Are you serious?!"

"Yes." I nodded firmly. "Now tell me, Cecil, what do you say?"

She began to consider it seriously. The promise of pleasure and treasure began to sink into her brain.

But then, a brush of my finger against her skin caused her to moan.

"Uuuhhhh... Mmmph, uuuughhhhhh..."

"Hmm? Is that all you can reply with? That is very disappointing."

I pinched her nipple hard. She gasped in pain but soon found herself moaning in pleasure.

"Mmph mmpf mmmmmppff..."

"You want more? Well, I'll give you more." I continued squeezing her breast. "But answer me. What's your answer?"

"Y-Yeah! I agree! Yes, I accept!" She said happily while looking at me with lustful eyes. "Please don't let go of these breasts, Arthur! Oh, please use them any way you like!"

"Oh, you mean those tits?" I chuckled. "Well, they are indeed special."

After releasing her tit from my grip, I placed both hands around her waist and lifted her up. Even if she was big and tall, I was able to lift her without effort. Her legs wrapped tightly around my torso, hugging me close. My tip touched her pussy entrance perfectly. Just a single push and it would slid inside.

And before I continued fucking her as she had answered my offer, I decided to praise her.

"Good girl. You've done well."

The moment I finished speaking, I pushed forward. And then the feeling of being stuffed by a huge cock filled her tight pussy completely.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!!"

And we continued fucking without holding back, covering our bodies with milk and various liquid until I heard Crane's shout from outside, telling us that we would disembark shortly.

Report chapter Comments

I got off the bed after I heard Crane's shout. Cecil was still on the bed, breathing heavily, her chest moving up and down, and her body covered in various liquids.

"W-Where… are you going?" She forced herself to get up even though she was exhausted and asked. "W-We're not done yet… Especially after earlier!" She protested.

"We will continue later, okay?" I kissed her on the forehead and took out a set of clothes from my inventory. "You rest first. I will satisfy you until morning later."

"Don't command me. I still do not fully agree to be your woman before you give me what you promised! Don't think you can get my heart just by that. I am not that cheap and have a lot of treasure." Cecil heaved a sigh and lay back down on the bed.

"But well, I will just masturbate. My body is… on fire and sensitive right now. Come back fast and fuck me until I break, then I will think again of being your woman. Hnn~ So good!"

She began to pinch her nipple and insert her finger into her pussy as I got dressed in black trousers and an unbuttoned dark brown shirt.

I didn't wear anything luxurious as we were in the sea. It would just get wet from the crashing waves. Exiting the captain's cabin, I closed it again so no one could hear Cecil moaning loudly inside.

But that woman was also cheeky. How much treasure she had to even deny the pleasure and happiness she had with me? I knew she couldn't live without me anymore. But if she was willing to throw away that kind of pleasure for her treasure, it must be a lot.

'She shared it with her brother, though. So it's not entirely hers.'

The deck was busy. 4 thugs were running around the deck, trying to disembark at the island that came close to us. Due to the darkness and only a little moonlight shining over the sea, it was hard to see the island.

That island was normal; the size was probably only 500 x 400 meters, with rugged hills and greenery. Many blunt rocks jutted out on the edge surface, making it easy for a ship to use them to rope the ship close to the island.

"Tie it tightly! Elf girl, follow me to the island! We will take something and leave right after the others show up!"

"Aye!"

Crane gave instructions with a loud voice and jumped off the ship without any hesitation. The Elf girl followed close behind him, and they landed on a rock before jumping around to reach the sandy beach.

The others were still working and didn't even try to look at me.

My position here was as Cecil's boy, and I needed their protection. However, it was now different, as Cecil had already agreed to be my girl. Not that her personality would change overnight, but at least she understood that I wasn't the innocent boy she could dominate.

"But they just straight up ignoring me, huh?" I muttered as I looked over the thugs. "It's just convenient for me."

I looked like a bad pirate due to my clothing. It was also dark and not standing out.

Looking at Crane's dynamic movement as if he was avoiding something along the way by zig zagging around, some traps might lie inside the forest they just entered. It just made my belief this was where they hid the treasure stronger.

"Let's take a look and get the treasure, shall we? While I am at it, let's take over this ship and become the captain."

Grinning excitedly, I kicked the ship softly and landed on the island under cover of the night. Glancing back, I noticed the thugs hadn't realized me yet, and I proceeded into the forest.

For safety reasons and because I wanted to chase after Crane without losing sight of him, I traced his steps but still looked around to see whether I had missed something they hid or any traps.

But there was nothing like that in the path I traced. The grass was even parted to mimic an animal trail, making it easy to know where to go next.

And after running for a few seconds, I managed to catch a glimpse of them running side by side. It would be bad if I was seen before Crane reached his destination, so I jumped on the trees to hide and maintained my distance while enhancing my senses.

It took only 2 minutes before Crane suddenly stopped around the foot of a hill and turned to the Elf girl.

"Hmm." I stopped and watched their sudden action. Rather, it was Crane who made a move first.

"Stay still," Crane ordered authoritatively at the Elf girl, stretching his big hand forward.

The Elf girl, whose name I didn't know, looked shocked and took a step back. She was afraid of the sudden change in Crane and shrunk like a small animal.

I was ready to move if he tried to do something the girl didn't want to. But my worry was unfounded.

"Don't move!" He shouted at the girl. "I am about to open a secret door. Stay still, or you will trigger the trap. Trust your captain, girlie."

"Oh… Aye, captain. Me apologies."

Crane nodded at the Elf girl and extended his hand toward the hill as his hand was covered in a bluish mana, the earth before him moved, revealing a hidden door underneath a 1 meter pit.

So that was where he hid his treasure. Crane's grin told me what I needed to know: the door in that pit led to the treasure trove he and Cecil hid.

Even if I tried to find this place myself, I would be unable to as I had no Treasure Detection skill that a rogue usually had. And my radar showed a lot of hollow area underground, so I would need to check all of them before finding this one, and that would take a lot of time.

"Listen." He faced the Elf with a stern expression. "Because you joined our pirate crew and are useful, I will trust you with this knowledge. But, I have one condition."

"What be it, captain? Ara be all ears, ready to listen and obey." The Elf girl, apparently her name was Ara, replied in the sailor's tongue.

That was still foreign in my ears, but I could understand it a little bit better now.

"Be my girl." Crane declared without beating around the bush. "And the treasure inside will also be yours."

Scratch that, this guy needed a beating.

Ara looked uncomfortable and confused. Of course, a man almost twice her height and with large horns protruding on the side of his head just asked her to be his woman, and the treasure inside was offered to her.

However, I was naïve. I didn't know that a pirate and thugs, even in the Virtue Kingdom, was as worse as a criminal in Horizon Online.

"What about yer sister, captain? Ain't ye sharin' this treasure with her?"

"Doesn't matter. She's just a bitch and acts pretentious around me. I am the captain, and this treasure is all mine." Crane replied with a smile. "So, be my woman, and let's share this treasure. Of course, hide the fact from that woman."

"If that be the case, then I be acceptin', captain. No, darling."

"Kukuku, good decision." Crane laughed in a low tone and kissed Ara right in front of me.

Yikes… seeing that made me want to hurl. That Elf girl was actually so greedy.

Of course, that would be the case. Was I stupid? She was a thug who joined a pirate ship to scam the merchant.

After they kissed for a few seconds, Crane jumped down the pit and kicked the door open. They disappeared inside.

I took out [Shadow Cape] and followed them inside by hiding in the shadow. And when I entered, I immediately was greeted by a notification that I had completed the requirement to dominate Cecil.

However, I ignored that for now as the sight in front of me invited a big smile to my face.

'Holy! This place is indeed fit to be called a treasure trove.'

Report chapter Comments

A sight of unimaginable wealth and wonder greeted my eyes. The pirate's secret treasure trove lay before me, a glittering sea of gold and shimmering magic items. The chamber was vast; its dirt wall didn't even take away its richness.

Golden coins were scattered in abundance, forming great piles that glinted in the faint light that seeped through hidden crevices. Jewels of all colors adorned the treasure. Many magic items of many Levels lay on the ground: swords, spears, armor, and even some [Teleportation Gems].

Cecil and Crane must've taken a lot from people in the Sin Kingdom and the Virtue Kingdom to accumulate these kinds of wealth. That was why Cecil also played hard to get and loved to hoard treasure and try to dominate me because she liked me.

'They will be a good addition to my inventory.'

Among the treasures, my eyes were drawn to a simple table upon which an extraordinary flute-like magic item rested. Its slender form exuded an aura of mystique, adorned with a scale of sea monsters.

'That must be it, the magic item to control sea monsters and can even call the Boss-rank monster Scylla.' I thought as I saw Crane approaching the table on which the flute sat.

It was clear that the flute was his goal in coming here. Stopping in front of the table, he stretched his hand toward it and grabbed the flute.

"Let's go."

Crane turned around and walked away, not even sparing a glance at the excited Ara or the other treasure. The Elf girl looked around for a while before running away after him, and then they closed the door of this secret treasure trove.

Time wasn't on his side as the merchants they apparently left behind would catch up soon, and I knew he planned to use that magic item to rob them.

But, to think they would leave that fast… It was outside of my expectations. I thought he would bang that girl inside this room, which would be the best time to kill him.

'Not that I plan to kill him, as I still need him to be the villain, though. That was unless he did something out of my plan.'

As a result, I was left inside. I couldn't take over that ship then, but I got something better than that ship in this room.

"Alright."

I muttered as I appeared from the shadows. I used Light from Lv 1 Holy Magic, and a small ball of light appeared on my palm.

The room lit up immediately, illuminating the treasure, and my lips curled into a grin.

"Let's loot this room."

The way back to the ship was faster than when I followed Crane, as I could use my fast speed and easily dodged all the traps inside the forest. About the treasure trove, I just destroyed the door and jumped out.

I had already taken all the treasures inside, so that place was useless anyway. A big red dot right under me made me a bit confused and worried. The dot even covered the island and even the docked ship, indicating how big the monster under us was.

'What is it? I don't think it's Scylla, but… this monster should also be a Boss-rank if we just look at its size. I hope nothing out of the ordinary would show up.'

As a result, I could slip onto the quarterdeck and observe my surroundings. With my enhanced senses, I could see the 10 ships in the distance approaching with just the help of moonlight.

A person atop the crow's nest of the first ship seemed to shout loudly to those below. The bearded sailor who made a deal with Cecil looked enraged as he stood on the bow, his leg raised, uncaring about the strong wave hitting his body.

He seemed to shout some curses, but I ignored him and turned my attention to the island.

It seemed like they had already noticed Crane had scammed them and brought them to this place to rob them. Their way back was also filled with sea monsters again, making them unable to leave. That could explain their late arrival, even though the quality of their ships was similar to this one.

Crane and Ara appeared from the forest. The minotaur guy immediately looked in the distance in the direction of the merchant ships before running back to this ship.

"Throw a rope for us!"

"Aye!"

One of the thugs… or rather the pirate crew now that Crane apparently recognized them, took the rope on the ground and threw it down, helping Crane and Ara to climb the rocking ship by pulling them.

The dot in my radar moved slightly, engulfing all red and even pink dots that belonged to Cecil. That… I see. So that was how it was? I was a bit… an idiot to forget that magic items in Sins Paradise were different from those in Horizon Online.

There existed a few magic item types that worked completely differently from those present in Horizon Online. For example was the [Teleportation Gem]. Something like that didn't exist back in the deathly game, so I had no stock of those Gems in my inventory.

Astro also didn't forget me even after he didn't see me for 3 days. Meaning the system was also different. I needed to stop connecting both and made it my habit.

I knew the company that made both games were the same, one being a VR and one being a normal PC game, and so the system was really similar. But there was bound to be a difference between both games.

And I was in reality, created by that person behind the system, so there was also something different from when this world was just a game called Sins Paradise.

'I should have explored the markets more to collect more magic items from this world.' I lamented and heaved a sigh.

And that flute was one type of magic item that wasn't present in Horizon Online. I wasn't someone with Magic Item Appraisal, so I couldn't appraise magic items I hadn't touched or held yet like the earring from back then. It was different from a normal Appraisal skill I had.

The fact the red dot moved as that flute moved only meant one thing.

'The dot indicating my enemy is the flute itself. That flute is Scylla in a magic item form, not a magic item. That's why even low-Leveled pirates like Crane and Cecil can use it! As a monster that turned its body into a magic item has no Level restriction to be used. But I am not sure yet because I can't appraise it for some reasons.'

Based on what I heard from Isabelle when she met Scylla, the environment was vastly different. Was it truly Scylla that turned its body into a magic item to be used by humankind?

If so, then it should still be recovering from whatever happened that made it resort to its last choice of recovering its MP through slumbering as a magic item.

The Quest description would also make sense. And the quest was actually a trap to make me fight this magic item's true form.

'And it only rewards me 20 Sins for that?! How stingy!'

Anyway, it seemed like Crane was preparing to use that flute to rob the merchant now. He even commanded the crew to load the cannon after they raised the anchor.

They immediately moved, and Crane also went back to the helm, controlling the ship to face the merchant. With the flute in his hand, he had a fearless grin on his face.

"Let's take all their treasure and their ships! We will bask in the glory!" He shouted loudly, and the few crew that heard him shouted with full spirit.

Calling them pirate crew when there were only 6 people in total was strange, but again they were stronger than people on Earth, so taking care of this ship was easy with just a few of them.

"Hoist the color!!"

Crane shouted loudly once again, raising his hand high.

"Aye, captain!"

Ara shouted back and took a black flag from the crow's nest, tying it at the highest spot of the ship. The flag had the jolly roger of the pirate crew, a skull with large horns protruding on the side of its head.

Crane laughed maniacally as the flag flapped uncontrollably from the wild sea wind. The ship was rocking wildly, and in the middle of the laugh, shout, and the sound of waves crashing against the hull was Cecil's moan from inside the captain's cabin.

'She's still masturbating?!' I shouted in my mind. 'What a good girl. I'll shower her with some love and treasure later. A treasure called pleasure.'

Crane blew the flute as the ship got close to the merchant convoy. A melodic, soft sound escaped the windpipe. It sounded great as if the greatest bard had just played his life masterpiece.

That, however, probably was only the effect of the magic item and not from his musical skill.

'It begins.'

The sea turned around. It suddenly became calm as the wave stopped.

I nested on the quarterdeck behind the captain's cabin. No one noticed I was there because I stood against the wall, away from the other eyes.

'Let's use the best equipment,' I thought as I opened the list of equipment available in my inventory.

I was on the sea and about to fight many sea monsters, probably even Boss-rank monsters. So armor with water resistance was required.

My choice was Level 90 [Clad of Ice Sea, a dark blue armor with a silver accent created from the sea monster's scale. I immediately equipped it without much thought and then went to the weapon selection.

The unbuttoned brown shirt earlier was replaced by cool armor covering my whole body. The shoulder pads looked sharp, and my gloves and greaves were colored deep black with glowing blue engraving.

[Caliburn] would do nothing. Its effect was best when used to fight against sea monsters. This was a sword better suited to fight another human or in a war, as that was the lore when I gained this sword from being a King of a nation in Horizon Online.

My weakness was magic. My fighting build was centered around my swordsmanship and body enhancement, and the only Magic above Lv 5 I had was Holy Magic. The others were only Lv 2 or Lv 3, as I had no use for them.

Instead, I compensated for that weakness with equipment to get a similar effect to a high Lv magic.

"Sea monsters are weak against high temperatures as most of them can't regulate their own body temperature."

Meaning the best weapon I could choose was those amongst fire attributes. Boiling the seawater might be the best way to kill all of them, but that was impossible even for me in this world, considering how this sea might be even bigger than that of Earth.

"But I can at least increase the temperature with that."

I took out the weapon of my choice and grinned. [Sword of Mars, something my weapon idiot friend made after he created [Excalibur]. It was a long sword with light amber color and one edge that was always burning with the sun's surface temperature when I fed it with my MP.

Of course, the sun's surface temperature was just an exaggeration. But it didn't change the fact that I could burn my enemy to a crisp with just one slash. Their wounds wouldn't even spray any blood as it was immediately closed with a soaring heat from the blade.

"This one is perfect."

I inspected the one-bladed sword in my hand with a sleek curved design and swung it down slightly. The wooden railing got hit slightly by the tip of the sword as I still failed to judge its distance and got chipped.

That little chip was turned black just from the sword's initial temperature and caught in a fire. That was a mistake, so I immediately put the fire off by patting it with my hand, sighing after making sure no one noticed it.

'I won't be able to take over this ship if I destroy it. Be careful, me.'

But thanks to that, I remembered how long my reach was and how to move this sword. The knowledge was already in my mind as I had used this sword many times in the past.

The rest was…

"They are coming," I muttered as I looked at a big wave, more than 50 meters tall, in the distance coming from the side of the merchant convoy.

Because that wave was still outside the large dot's range, I saw many small red dots clumping together inside. That wave wasn't a normal one. It was caused by monsters' movement from all directions of the sea.

A similar wave also appeared on the other side as well as behind the merchant convoy. I took a peek, and the people on their ships were panicking. I noticed some Elves holding bows and looking around in horror. I guessed they were mercenaries hired by the merchants because he didn't fully trust Cecil.

Normally, that was a good decision, but not at this time.

'He just added some dead bodies that will be revived in the church.'

That was something I could just ignore. They were nothing to me, and I didn't act as the Paladin. For the merchants and the pirates, I was just someone to protect.

Even Cecil didn't realize that I was the Paladin yet. She was too horny to notice that she gained no Sins even though she had sex with me. That, or she didn't even care if she gained Sins.

Anyway, the merchants and the pirate crew could die as they pleased. I had no obligation to help them. And those merchants would be a hindrance if they saw my face.

"First…" I muttered and jumped from where I stood and landed on the sea a bit away from the pirate ship that stopped moving and just rocked on the sea.

The water underneath me immediately turned into ice, creating a foothold for me. This was the passive effect of [Clad of Ice Sea, and that was turning seawater into ice when I stepped on it.

Because the merchant would be troublesome, I decided on something.

"Let's just destroy them all and the monster at once before they see me so I can deal with Crane and his crew without overthinking."

From my position, slightly behind the pirate ship and a bit away to the side, I could destroy everything in my sight without getting the pirate ship caught in it.

Raising my sword, I began infusing it with a lot of MP, impossible when I still had a maximum of 100 MP. Now, I could use as much as I could and amplify the effect of the sword many times.

The blade let out a bright orange glow, and the temperature around me rose exponentially. The ice under me also cracked due to the heat, but I immediately supplied 20 MP to my armor to increase its chilling effect, once again fortifying the ice.

"100 MP seems to be too much," I muttered as my lips rose in an awkward smile. "But I can't cancel it, so I can only unleash it."

It was ready. Next, I only needed to use a skill that had an AoE effect. And that one fits the best in this situation.

"Sonic Sword"

Unlike the one I used in the forest, I swung it vertically. And the trace left behind wasn't the golden glow, but an orange one as the sword I used was that of fire attribute, and I activated its burning effect. This skill would automatically change its attribute to what I currently use if the person using it was skillful enough.

But I haven't finished yet. Before the skill was shooting out a large vertical flying slash, I activated another skill. This time, it was a basic one derived from Lv 3 Swordsmanship. My sword moved at a lightning speed twice.

"Cross Slash"

A cross-shaped flying slash with bluish color without any attribute connected to the Sonic Sword turned red due to the elemental resonance and flew toward the convoy and the wave.

Swoosh!!

The night sky suddenly brightened as my flying slashes cut the sea, illuminating the area with bright orange light as the Sonic Sword left a long trail behind.

It happened instantly. In just a second, the flying slashes had already reached the convoy and destroyed them completely, turning them into the burning debris of the sea.

[Ding! You had killed 150 people with Virtues alignment! Your Sins increased by 75!]

What I heard in my ear was the notification indicating I had just massacred good people. They would revive, so I wasn't really that worried about them.

The sea was split, but I didn't fall as the ice underneath me had turned into a solid pillar. From my radar, I noticed the sea monsters were almost completely annihilated, leaving only those lucky enough or strong enough to dodge the attack's aftermath.

However, the pirate ship was attacked by a strong current and a big wave, pushing it toward the island from earlier. The hull was damaged, but that was still repairable. I didn't need to worry about it.

The flying slashes slowly disappeared after traveling more than 500 meters. The split sea crashed back, hitting each other in front of me while hot steam rose from it. My attack boiled the sea perfectly, turning it into a hot pot of sea monsters, and the red dots in my radar slowly disappeared once by once.

"It's a perfect job if I do say so myself." I nodded in satisfaction. "Now I just need to deal with the pirate ship that got stranded on the island. I hope Cecil will be fine and not that badly injured."

I put [Sword of Mars] back into my inventory and began to run on the boiling sea. The passive effect of my armor seemed to be stronger after I infused my MP earlier, so even the boiling sea turned into ice when I stepped onto it.

As for the pirate ship, I noticed that Crane and the crew looked rather fine, except for the Elf girl, who broke her hand because she probably fell from the crow's nest.

All of them had already jumped onto the island, including Cecil, who looked perfectly fine and was already dressed. I was glad that she was okay, but it was time for me to deal with the others and take the flute.

Just from what I saw earlier, that item was too dangerous to be in his hand. That army of sea monsters, which numbered thousands, could destroy many cities near the shores connected to the sea nearing World-End Waterfall.

"Now that I showed my power, Crane will definitely try to find what caused the sudden destruction of the merchant convoy and his sea monster's army, even if he needs to wreak havoc in the Port Cities along the shore."

Showing myself after the previous firework show on the sea in front of Cecil would also be a trigger to make her certain that becoming my woman was the best decision.

And when I showed myself in front of them, they looked really surprised, especially Cecil.

"Fuckers!"

A loud roar reverberated on the shore of the island as Crane pointed at me angrily, realizing that I was the one who destroyed the merchant convoy and the sea monster army earlier.

"You ruined my plan!"

Cecil looked rather confused as she looked at me. Her expression changed between disbelief and surprise.

How smart. Knowing the situation didn't favor the pirate group, she silently stepped back and shook her head, gesturing to me that she wasn't part of anything his brother planned.

I nodded silently at her, gesturing for her to take another step back or return to the flipped ship.

As the others were focused on me, the minotaur girl managed to slip out silently and disappear behind the shadow of the ship. Great, I didn't need to worry about killing her.

"Ruined your plan? Captain Crane, I just wanted to help you by destroying the pursuer." I shrugged my shoulders in contemplation.

Heaving a sigh, I continued, "and I got a curse instead of thanks. I guess you don't like me fucking your sister, huh? I am hurt, brother-in-law." I smirked. "Still, her breast milk tasted really delicious. I can drink it without getting bored."

"Don't get familiar with me, you fucker." Crane growled and took a step back. His hand clenched the flute tightly, and at that moment, his grin returned. "Are you happy fooling my idiot sister, huh? I bet you were happy taking her purity like that."

"I am," I replied and took a step forward without hesitation, taking out a normal iron sword from my inventory. "And I will take your treasure now."

"Try it."

For some reason, Crane acted fearless as his grip tightened more around the flute's shaft. What was he trying to do? If he kept gripping it like that…

Snap!

Just as I was about to move, the flute snapped in half and got destroyed.

Crane was still smiling, albeit the pirate crew and Ara looked confused and scared behind him.

What was the reason for his composure? His magic item was destroyed, and he no longer meant to fight me.

[Quest 'Find the hidden Pirate Treasure!' failed!]

[No reward is given! Good luck for the next quest!]

At that moment, a floating window appeared in front of me, accompanied by the voice of the system. I realized immediately why he kept his composure.

"I won't let you get my treasure," Crane muttered as he threw the snapped flue to the ground.

In mid-air, the flute disappeared in light blue particles and was brought by the wind toward the sea.

"Let's die together, bastard."

"Crazy."

I knew why he said those words. And I was wrong. That flute wasn't a monster turning into a magic item. That item was just a seal to keep a monster inside just like what I expected earlier.

And because that seal had already guarded the monster, Scylla, for a long time, it became a magic item and could be used without Level limitation.

That seal was now just destroyed. Meaning…

"Kiiaaaaakkk!!!"

The monster sealed inside was released. A mighty, loud roar echoed from the sky, causing the pirate crew and even Cecil to plug their ears and crouch due to the effect of the monster's roar.

What about me? I wasn't affected because of my Ill Status Immunity. This cheating skill really helped me a lot in many situations. And because of this, I was sure I could defeat Scylla alone as I wouldn't be affected by any debuff.

'Oh, how crazy this pirate is.' I thought as I shrugged my shoulders.

He was even willing to sacrifice a treasure just to kill me once. For what reason would he be so reckless? Anger? Hate? Those probably were the closest that I could think of.

"Well, now my plan really went awry. And it's all because I never thought he would destroy the flute. My fault."

What I needed to do didn't really change. I used Blink to close my distance from Crane and stabbed him in the stomach.

"Guh!" The minotaur guy groaned in pain as he coughed blood. "Gaaahhh!!"

"See you in the church."

With those words, I swung my sword up and cut him in half. Blood spurted out as his body fell forward with a thud on the pool of blood below, splashing some of it onto my armor.

The other pirate crew looked terrified at the sight and attempted to run.

"Now, it's your turn."

But I didn't let them. I used Blink repeatedly to kill the thugs with one sweep of my sword, and the only ones left on this island were the Elf girl, Cecil, and me.

"S-Spare me… I-I just tagged along to make money!"

"I know."

Ara begged me as she fell on her knees, crying with a smile plastered on her face as she looked up at me.

"T-Then…"

Her hopeful tone reached my ear, but unfortunately, I wasn't in the mood to spare someone now. So I swung my sword up, splitting her petite body in half.

Seeing her innards coming out with blood that immediately disappeared and turned into blue particles didn't bother me at all.

"I have something important to do now."

Muttering, I turned around and looked up at the ship. There, Cecil was looking at me with wide eyes as she muttered.

"What was that…" Her tone was in disbelief. "This must be a dream."

"It's not."

I replied as I appeared beside her, reaching out to her still-sensitive breast.

"Ahn! S-Stop it!"

"If it's a dream, will you feel something like this?" I asked in a playful tone.

"I-I got it. Release me!"

Cecil shouted and pushed me away, hiding her breasts with her arms like a maiden. Who knew she could make that kind of embarrassed expression too?

"Hahaha, I am quite strong, no?" I laughed, putting my sword back in my inventory. "What do you think of me? Does it make you want to become my woman now?"

Report chapter Comments

"You… What was that for?" She replied without a shred of hesitation. "To think I promised to be your woman is crazy… Am I crazy?"

"Yes, you're crazy for pleasure." I smiled gently at her. "But you promised me. Besides, becoming my woman means you will be safe from that thing." And then I pointed at the sea.

"That thing?" Cecil muttered, turning her head toward the direction I pointed at. Once again, her face had a bit of terror written on it when she noticed that thing. "W-What is that?"

In the distance, the sea was raging. Giant waves crashed against each other. Whirlpools appeared in many places, sucking the water and debris from the destroyed ship down to the bottomless stomach of the sea.

The sky turned dark. The moon was hiding behind black clouds accumulated above the sea. A storm was brewing as thunder clapped loudly, striking at various places on the sea.

On my radar, the earlier giant red dot moved around crazily fast, circling the sea around the island we were on. Many smaller dots also began to come closer, as if creating barricades so we couldn't leave.

And the thing I pointed at with my finger rose to the air. From a distance, it looked as if eight snakes rose and danced in the air. But those things weren't snakes at all. They were…

"Scylla's tentacles," I responded to Cecil, who got close to me. "That's the tentacle of the monster released by your stupid brother from that magic item."

"Tentacles?! How…" Cecil's voice quivered from fear.

The courageous woman who didn't even flinch in front of Isabelle and didn't seem afraid of anything was now trembling, and her words reverted to the sailor's tongue.

"How in the fast seas are they growin' so bloomin' massive?! One o' those beastly things be 'avin' the strength to drag our ship straight to the darkest depths!"

"As I said, those were Scylla's."

The size of that monster was proportional to the sea she lived in. And this sea that was more massive than Earth probably was like heaven to that monster. We had sailed for almost a day, but I couldn't see the World-End Waterfall yet. That just showed how big this water area was.

'That's why the dot is so big. It's still circling around this island and is bigger than the landmass we were on. This could be dangerous.'

Of course, what I talked about was dangerous was Cecil. Scylla's size was bigger than I had anticipated, and the tentacles approached us slowly. It seemed like the main body and the tentacles were still detached.

'Wait?'

The main body and the tentacles were detached… That…

"Could it be?" I looked around and at my radar at the same time.

I observed the giant dot's movement and the smaller dots. Those smaller ones seemed to circle around the tentacles as if they were guarding those tentacles in this place. Why?

Was it because the seal was released on this island? No. That wasn't the case.

If so, why did I stand on top of the giant dot's center even though it moved around on my radar?

"The main body is chained below this island, and the sea monsters are trying to bring Scylla's tentacles to fuse it with her. The one sealed inside the flute is the tentacles and not its main body. That's why she followed the flute's sound to command the sea monsters!" I exclaimed.

Finally, my curiosity and the mystery behind the flute had a proper explanation. I didn't notice it because Crane never brought the flute away from the island.

"What be that ye be sayin'?" Cecil asked, looking at me with a panicked look.

"Bloody hell! Ye mean to tell me that colossal beast be shackled right under this very island where we be hidin' our precious treasure?! We best be gettin' it and makin' a swift departure, boy!"

"I have already secured your treasure," I replied calmly. "But you're right. We need to get the hell out of here right now. I can't fight Scylla without a proper footing. This island won't survive for too long."

Besides, Scylla was important for me to cure Isabelle's trauma. So I couldn't defeat it without involving her first.

"Take this."

Saying so, I pulled two [Teleportation Gems] with Lima Port City as the destination I ransacked earlier and pulled Cecil close to me.

"H-Hey!"

She let out a surprised yelp, but I ignored her, pushed the gem between her cleavage, and forcefully activated it as I put the ship under us into my inventory.

"We're teleporting," I said, and our bodies were enveloped by bluish light before the scenery around us changed.

The previous sandy beach surrounded by raging sea and forest now changed to a sandy beach with a calm sea surrounded by buildings behind me. Those buildings were from Lima Port City, which meant we had teleported safely.

"We returned?" Cecil asked, her tone also returned to normal.

"Yes." I nodded, "But we have no time to waste. First of all, look over here, Cecil."

"Huh?"

Cecil looked confused at my sudden request but still looked down to face me eye to eye. I brought up the notification from before that I received when I found the treasure trove.

[Ding! The requirement to dominate Cecil has been completed.]

[You can dominate her right now!]

[Dominate Cecil? Yes/No]

This was the perfect time to do this. To make my plan easier, I needed to dominate Cecil right now. All requirements were done, and I just needed to press yes. But I wanted to ask her once more.

"You want to become my woman, right? Say yes if you do and I will dominate you. Don't worry, I won't treat you horribly."

Cecil narrowed her eyes seriously, looking at me with determination.

"That…"

"I will give you all the treasure you had with your brother before and many more. You've seen my strength, so I can guarantee your safety. And I have a fairly high status, so your life will be comfortable."

"That…" She seemed to hesitate to answer.

Getting dominated by a man meant trusting your all to him, so it was a big decision in life.

I didn't want to force dominating girls unless they wanted to, or I was forced to dominate them like in Beatrice's case. Well, for that succubus, she lived happily after I dominated her, so I also got her consent, albeit later on.

Cecil had given me her consent when we had sex, and I only loved to see her troubled reaction like this while telling her what I could give her. It was… a bit of fun before the situation became serious.

Because she became hesitant about my offer, I decided to add more. Leaning closer, I whispered to her.

"The effect of the potion I gave you earlier was gone? I got a potion to further enhance your sense and sensitivity if you want to. Of course, I will grant your desire if you want to. So say yes, Cecil. Be my woman."

"Aaah! Get it!" Cecil suddenly shouted and broke away from me, taking a step back. "Let's make our way to Domination House, aye? But let's not forget the promise of treasure and a life of ease. I be fed up with this pirate's life meself!"

"That's not needed," I smirked and pressed yes.

While Cecil was confused, a pink mark was etched above her crotch, the mark of being dominated with my name, 'Arthur Vainglory,' written in the middle of the heart shape.

[Ding! Cecil is dominated!]

[Now she can't refuse your order!]

Using the chance in the middle of her confusion, I pulled her face down and kissed her.

"Now you're mine, Cecil. Let me tell you my plan that you will participate with."

"Blimey! I reckon I just made a ruddy massive decision without even realizin' it. That name... ye be the bloomin' Paladin, ain't ye?!"

"Aye." I smiled, imitating how the sailors spoke. "Does my title turn you on?"

"Bloody hell! 'Course I turned on, boy." She replied with a huge grin. "To think I becomin' the woman o' the most important bloke in this world, and just yesterday I was tryin' to dominate 'im. What in the blazes be goin' on in this cursed world?"

"That's because you're beautiful and I like you," I replied and took a step back. "Anyway, play some parts in my plan, okay? My friend needs a little help with her mental illness, and that scary Scylla will be our sacrifice to cure her."

"Arr, I be havin' no other choice, me matey. What role be ye wantin' me to take in yer grand plan?"Cecil patted her head around, fixing her untidy hair.

My reply came with a red pirate hat I took from my inventory and handed her. "The bad guy part."

"Avast! That be somethin' I be well acquainted with." She smiled and took the hat from my hand, wearing it immediately.

That hat looked rather good on her, with a skull symbol in the middle of the hat.

"Cap'n Cecil be all set to unleash pure chaos, me darlin'." She exclaimed with the biggest smile on her face.

"Great. But, let's hide that mark first and move from this place." I replied with a playful tone. "Let only me be the one who can see your dominated mark. So wear something, please."

"Whatever it is for you, darling."

Cecil held my face and then kissed me deeply.

Everything was in place. The villain, the monster, and the fighting location.

'We will fight it at the port.'

What we were currently missing was one.

'It's time to get the main character, Isabelle, to join the play.'

Report chapter Comments

After explaining to Cecil about my plan, I went to the lodging. According to my map, one pink dot with Garcia's name and a blue dot with Isabelle's name were inside the same room.

I had prepared everything Cecil needed to play her part. Fortunately, she was willing to cooperate with me after I dominated her, and I didn't need to 'order' her to do it.

Looking at Scylla from earlier, it would take that monster a few hours before it arrived at Lima Port City. So far, everything had gone like how the event in Sins Paradise was.

And I was pretty sure Scylla would come to this city. The reason was simple.

'To target me, the first human she had felt, and to get revenge against humans.'

I didn't know what really happened in Sins Paradise's first event as it had been lost in my memory, but I was pretty sure Scylla wasn't the monster that attacked. I was pretty sure it was a monster called Charybdis.

'It could be that Crane ordered Scylla to call Charybdis back in the Sins Paradise, and the scary Scylla was still chained underneath that island.'

Whatever it was, it could mean I would need to fight 2 Boss-rank monsters at once. That was why I asked Cecil to do what she needed to do for me, and I would need Garcia in this fight.

The reason I purposely made my quest fail was to bait Scylla to this town too. And because I thought the magic item was Scylla transforming into a magic item, I didn't want to take any risk of holding it in my hand.

That was why I kept Crane alive in hope I could use Cecil to ask him to attack Lima Port City or I could just threaten him like what I previously planned, but… breaking the flute that was actually something to seal Scylla's tentacles was out of my expectation.

It didn't matter, though, as it seemed like Scylla's aggro was now focused on me and would try to find me. It was probably also thanks to the quest, but my plan could be continued right now.

And so I changed my clothes to a more comfortable and dry one and began walking.

"Hmm…?"

As I walked toward my lodging leisurely, the sky slowly brightened. The sun peeked from my right, casting a shadow over the cobblestone path on the slope.

Many fishermen and sailors had woken up from their night party and held their heads due to hangovers. Even so, they went to the port to work, walking in a different direction from what I took.

While they walked past me, I couldn't help but think that many of them would die if they went to the sea today. However…

'That's already taken care of.'

I just needed to focus on curing Isabelle's trauma and defeating Scylla with her.

Arriving at the lodging, I immediately went to Garcia and Isabelle's room. Both of them were still inside. I didn't know whether they were up yet or not, but they needed to move now.

So I knocked on the door.

"Garcia, are you awake?"

"Yes! Please wait a minute, Sir Arthur!"

A voice answered from inside, and loud footsteps rang afterward. She seemed in a hurry and just jumped out of bed.

Then the door opened. Emerging from it was Garcia, with sweat dripping down her face and neck to the temple. A white sheet draped over her shoulders was the only thing covering her body.

A familiar sweet, pungent smell of love juices tickled my nose. It came from her, and she just smiled widely at me.

'This girl… Did she just masturbate even though Isabelle is in the same room?'

From the open door, I noticed Isabelle was still sleeping on her nightgown. It was half-transparent, so I could see the dark blue lingerie she wore. Her taste in a nightgown was unexpectedly good, and it fit her image.

The problem here was Garcia. She looked at me innocently as if masturbating in a room where someone slept beside her was something normal.

Sighing, I couldn't help but wonder how brave this girl was. I knew she could use Illusion Magic to make herself like sleeping from Isabelle's perspective, but… I hoped she could hold back a little.

"Come to my room," I ordered.

Her face beamed with a really bright smile.

"And get dressed. I need to talk."

The glow of her smile disappeared instantly as I spoke in a serious tone. But Garcia was a good woman. So she understood that I didn't plan to have fun with her right now, and the thing I wanted to talk about was serious to the point I asked her to get dressed.

"Yes, Sir Arthur." She nodded in understanding. "Please wait a minute. I will get dressed and go to your room immediately."

"I'll be waiting."

Saying so, I went to my room and sat on the bed, waiting for Garcia.

Unlike any other woman, Garcia was quick and skillful in almost everything she did. For example, she woke up earlier than the others, though I doubted she even slept last night, and she was the most obedient girl whose need was only to satisfy her sexual desire.

However, even so, she never forced me to help her. She would beg, of course, but she never forced.

And this time wasn't an exception. Just after a few minutes, I heard footsteps approaching from the hallway. It stopped in front of my room, and then three knocks sounded.

"Sir Arthur, I am here as instructed."

"Enter."

As soon as I replied to the one outside, the door was pushed open, and Garcia entered.

The clothes she wore were the ones I gave her, and they still looked really good on her even though I had seen them before. She looked really sexy, and her breasts and hips swayed as she approached me.

"Please tell me your order, Sir Arthur. This servant will follow." She bowed at me with her hands in front of her crotch without asking anything.

I really liked Garcia. Especially this side of her who didn't ask many questions and just followed and trusted me.

So having her cooperate with me was easy.

When she raised her head, I began to speak, "I need your cooperation with something. It's for Isabelle's sake."

"What do I need to do?"

"It's simple," I smiled. "Did you remember your task from before, visiting some suspicious place and remembering where the thugs are hiding?"

"Yes. I found 8 spots where some… unpleasant people gathered and that knight." Garcia's face turned rather unpleasant when she mentioned Isabelle with 'that knight' instead of her name. "She suddenly disappeared before finding any, and I found her sleeping in the room afterward."

"Hahaha. I know where she went, so don't blame her." I laughed lowly as I pulled Garcia and sat her onto my lap.

Her face turned red as her butt fell on top of my pelvis. My arms went around her waist, and I whispered.

"Are you by any chance jealous because I give Isabelle special attention, hmm?"

"N-Not at all. I don't dare to."

"It's okay."

I hugged her tighter, tracing her bare skin and side boobs with my hand. She shivered in pleasure and held her moan, which was pretty cute.

"You can get jealous as much as you want. But remember that I treat my girls the same, okay?"

"Hnn, I understand, Sir Arthur."

"Alright." I nodded, satisfied with her answer. "Then, I will leave this task to you. We will be going to play with water later, so prepare some swimsuits for yourself and Isabelle too."

"Yes~ Please leave it to me, Sir Arthur."

"Good girl," I said, turning Garcia around.

We locked gazes with each other for a while before I explained what she needed to do while I touched her body here and there. Her muffled moan overlapped with my explanation as she occasionally nodded with a red face. I knew she enjoyed it.

After we finished, Garcia actually climaxed once and wet my pants. She apologized, but I brushed it off without making it big.

When I asked her whether she needed to change her panties before going to her task, she replied that she didn't wear any panties to begin with and actually put them beneath her garter belt.

After she wore the fresh panties she didn't wear earlier, Garcia left the lodging, not forgetting to put an Illusion Magic so her appearance would appear normal.

As for me, I went to Isabelle's room, where she slept alone. This girl didn't change at all. She still had a hard time waking up.

Without saying anything, I took a bucket full of water from my inventory and… threw the water on the sleeping Isabelle.

Splash!

"Whaa?!" She shouted loudly, and Night's Edge suddenly appeared in her hand, pointing it at me. She looked confused, and her wariness went on full throttle.

But then, when Isabelle saw it was me who just threw water at her, she suddenly frowned deeply, displeased. "What do you think you're doing, Arthur?!"

"It's time to wake up, Princess," I replied, ignoring her shout. "It's another morning in the beautiful port city. Let's play with water on the beach, shall we?"

Report chapter Comments

A few hours after that.

"Why am I doing this?"

"Now, now, let's just enjoy it, shall we?"

"How could I?!"

Isabelle shouted as she tried to run away from me while wearing a dark blue bikini with frills. She couldn't, however, as I used Blink to appear in front of her and stopped her.

"No one besides us is here. It's just like…"

"A date?" I finished her sentence, and she glared at me.

This girl was really scary and cold. A deep frown was etched on her face even though she was the one who willingly changed into the swimsuit, and it looked perfect on her.

'But her tongue is so sharp.' I smiled wryly, looking at her.

"Why suddenly, though?" She asked, crossing her arms. "Don't tell me that you invited me here without a reason?"

"I do, though?" I replied with a playful smile. "I want to spend time together with you."

"Hah?"

Isabelle raised her eyebrows in disbelief as her jaw fell.

"Are you serious now, Arthur? If so, then I am leaving."

Saying so, she tried to stride away again, but I held her shoulders to stop her.

"Let's just relax, okay? I even sent Garcia away on a task because I want to have a talk with you and relax on the beach."

Turning around, Isabelle looked at me with a suspicious gaze. She observed me carefully while I smiled softly at her, appearing genuine.

"Apologize," she said shortly with a chill-filled tone that could even freeze the hell as she looked at me with a blank gaze. "You have yet to say sorry for what happened on that ship."

"Ah…" A soft voice escaped my lips as I remembered what had happened yesterday.

"Hahaha…" I laughed softly as I took a step back, scratching my cheek. "Sorry, okay? But I already explained it in that letter."

"You mean that wall of text?" Isabelle sighed in exasperation. "Did you think I would read something filled with such nonsense?"

"I thought you would." I nodded at her and smirked. "And I also thought you would forgive me after replying with that wall of curses."

"You deserved it." She replied.

The atmosphere turned friendly as we exchanged banter with each other. I quite liked this kind of thing, and we eventually walked side by side alongside the beach with my feet submerged under shallow water.

Isabelle was still cold and didn't really want to smile in front of me. She was also walking on the beach side, trying her best to avoid getting into the water for some reason.

Was she afraid? That shouldn't be the case, as she could swim back to safety after getting blasted by Cecil yesterday.

Then was she still wary of getting near the water unconsciously due to the trauma she experienced? Her unconscious mind must've realized that getting near open water that could hide monsters was scary, so she avoided it.

That could also be just my imagination, but then we stopped when we reached the end of the beach. We had walked a bit long, reaching the wall surrounding the city, a bit away from the last building near the shore.

"Should we go back?" Isabelle asked, her tone becoming calmer and friendlier after talking for a while. "We talked enough, right?"

"Hmm…" I hummed and looked over the sea.

I kept my senses at an all-time high even when I spoke with her because I didn't know when Scylla would arrive. However, I noticed that something had gone exactly like what I had planned.

Grinning, I faced Isabelle, whose expression turned pale.

"No."

For some reason, she spoke to me with a serious face.

"Whatever plans you have in mind, throw it away. I don't want to get involved in any of those." She continued as she turned away and began to leave.

"Don't be so cold, Isabelle."

Once again, I appeared in front of her by using Blink. Her instinct was still good, especially when she guessed another human's intention.

"I plan nothing at all. Rather, my plan went a bit awry due to something unexpected and I wanted your help this time."

"My help? After all of that?"

"I've apologized, haven't I? We even talked about it before."

As I replied to her, she heaved a long sigh and faced me.

"Listen, Arthur. You called this world your bonus stage, and I have no problem with that. But, as you can call this your bonus stage after defeating the last boss, I can also call this world my resting place. Just… Please don't involve me with anything troublesome. Please."

Her voice was earnest, as if she asked me with everything from her heart.

That… I couldn't do that.

'It's because of my selfishness, but I can't let you have that trauma with you. It needs to be cured.' I thought as I looked at Isabelle with a sad smile.

Not only because I wanted her to be cured but also for her safety. Ignoring her high Level, she would get killed if she couldn't fight a monster.

Isabelle probably thought it was fine as she could get revived, but I didn't think it was at all, especially after hearing the penalty from Sana. No, even without that, I didn't want her to think that dying was fine in this world.

Our circumstances might differ, but I also wanted her to enjoy this life without worrying about monsters or her trauma. So…

"Hate me or forgive me, but I will definitely won't let you away, Isabelle," I said with resolution as I gazed into her eyes. "You know what I had planned in this sea, right? You're smarter than me, and my worries clouded my judgment lately. So say… What do you think?"

"… You're stupid."

Instead of answering my question, she chose to let out a sigh and equipped herself with Night's Armor and Night's Edge.

"You brought me here to help you fight those approaching monsters, right? Even though my Mana Sense only reached Lv 4 and isn't as sensitive as before, I can still feel the approaching monster and people."

As expected, she had already guessed my intention. However, that was a bit far from the truth. I didn't bring her to help me defeat the monsters but to make her meet Scylla.

But I didn't need to say that as sea monsters really got closer to the shore right now. Those monsters were following a single giant ship in the distance, chasing after it as if they were hoarded by it.

And that ship approached us from a distance. There were many people on that ship, including a familiar one. Then a person emerged with a wide grin on her face with many dirty thugs crackling behind her.

When Isabelle saw that person, she squinted in anger, gripping her Night's Edge tightly in her hand.

"Is that a part of your plan too?" Isabelle asked me coldly. "If so, then I need to thank you. I finally will be able to have a bit of revenge."

"Nope, I have no idea at all. Maybe she's trying to find me as I pretended to be her toy yesterday?"

"… I will just take that explanation." She replied. "How do you want to deal with them?"

"Well, I am thinking something like this."

I took out the [Sword of Mars] and readied my stance.

"Why don't you deal with those pirates first while I deal with some sea monsters? Then we can deal with the remaining monsters together."

"Sounds like a plan that I will follow." Isabelle's lips curled up in a slight smile. "You're the superior here. I will follow your order."

"Then let's go," I ordered as I looked at my radar.

As expected, it could swim faster than even the fastest ship. It had arrived faster than I had predicted. On top of that…

'It seems like she is bringing her sibling with her.'

A/N: Bonus chapter for the castle xD

And another mass release day! Let's aim to win today xD

--

Isabelle's drive to get back to Cecil was just as high as I had expected.

The fact that the girl who previously wanted to go back because she didn't want to fight the monster running across the sea with a bridge she made using Earth Magic just showed how much she resented the minotaur girl from sending her flying to the sea.

As for me, I went in a different direction than her and went straight to the horde of monsters Cecil gathered far behind her with the item I gave her while wearing [Clad of Ice Sea] to run across the frozen water.

'It's just perfect.'

While my initial plan to let Crane cause a bit of destruction by using the flute was a failure due to him destroying it, this spare plan wasn't all that bad because I accidentally attracted Scylla's aggro when I destroyed the merchant convoy and the sea monster's army.

"The next plan is also ready. Let's destroy half of these sea monsters and return to Isabelle."

With her adrenaline pumping from the fight with Cecil, the risk of her getting frozen in front of Scylla would also be minimal. As a result, I could reduce her probability of dying immediately and used a potion I prepared in my inventory to force her.

I knew this went against my morals, forcing my friend to do something they didn't want to do with a potion or a drug. And I was prepared to be hated.

'But this is necessary if I want Isabelle to survive the future events that just get bigger and crazier.'

If she wanted to cut off our relationship after this, then I would also be fine. I just forced my selfishness on her to pay back what I owed her back in Horizon Online.

"Let's get crazy."

I slicked my hair back and jumped to the sky, using the ice underneath as a foothold. Sea monsters jumped around from the water. Their sizes and shapes varied, from small to big and from looking like a great white shark to something similar to a snake and octopus.

That didn't stop me from landing right in the middle of them. The sea underneath my feet got frozen, and the monsters immediately jumped at me.

"You guys will be my dinner tonight."

My sword danced in the air and spun around, turning the jumping monster into fileted fish.

An octopus' monster tentacles shot out, but I easily diced it up into many pieces. A burning smell rose to the air due to the burning effect of [Sword of Mars]. The octopus tentacle got cooked nicely, and I put one smaller piece into my mouth.

Even though it was a monster's meat, the taste was more delicious than a normal octopus from Earth. My lips curled into a big grin.

"Let's start."

And let the massacre begin.

Isabelle jumped on the rocking pirate ship. She used Earth Magic to push her up like a cannon. With her high AGI and STR, landing on the bowsprit in front of Cecil and the crowd was simple.

"We meet again, big titties." Isabelle greeted with a voice laced with sarcasm and poison. "Say goodbye before you're unable to."

"Oh? Ye be talkin' big for someone who got a taste o' defeat from me own hands yesterday."

"Did you think that's the case?"

Without any fear, Isabelle began to walk on the bowsprit and raised her Night's Edge.

"I was just a bit rusty after not fighting for a long time. This time will be different."

"Excuses," Cecil replied as she brandished her spiked club. "Me hearties, fall back! This lass be belongin' to me, and I'll be takin' care o' her meself."

"Aye, Captain!"

The thugs promptly moved back. There were 10 in total, and all of them were somehow bruised, as if they had gotten beaten up before coming up to this ship.

Cecil walked away too with them, ignoring Isabelle, who jumped to the bow.

"Where are you going?" The onyx-haired girl asked. "Are you running away?"

"Ain't happenin'! We be shiftin' to a bigger spot, savvy? Don't want to be wreckin' the bow or mast, now do we?"

"I thought you were going to run away and make your breasts sway, cow titty."

"Arr, I be needin' to throw these words right back at ye, ye scurvy dog! Ain't nothin' but a flat-chested bilge rat, ye be!"

"I changed my mind. I will feed you to the sea monsters."

Isabelle's chilling voice rang on the deck as she stopped across from Cecil. More than a dozen shadow swords rose from the shadow of the mats and her own, floating gently around her.

"Die."

With a simple command, they launched toward Cecil, leaving behind a black blur. The minotaur woman watched it in surprise. They were too fast… even faster from the attack launched at her yesterday.

"Curses!"

Shouting, Cecil swung her club with full strength. These shadow blades were indeed fast but still fragile and made from shadow. At best, they could only injure one's body, but they couldn't pierce a block of steel swung by a strong person.

Sparks flew everywhere when the club met the shadow blades, and a loud sound resounded.

Clang!

At that moment, Isabelle had already moved, just like before. Using the blindspot created by the big spiked club, she shortened their distance and attacked.

Slash!

The attack only grazed Cecil as the minotaur girl had already jumped backward with her long legs. Isabelle's reach was too short. However…

"I know you would jump back."

Swoosh!

A shadow blade shot out from the Night's Edge she held. It was a huge blade that was even bigger than the real weapon.

"Bloody sea!"

Woosh!

The blade missed. Or rather, Isabelle purposely changed its trajectory to slightly miss Cecil's body.

"You're dead." Isabelle simply said so and took a step back.

Cecil was dumbfounded. She couldn't help but ask.

"Why did you stop?"

If that attack hit, she would surely die, just like Isabelle had said. And that was not a problem as she would revive in Lima Port City's church, unlike her brother, who didn't change his revive point.

"Arthur didn't like to see his friend get hurt," Isabelle replied with a chill tone. "And I am not stupid. You act way differently from before, and those thugs weren't here yesterday. You…"

The onyx-haired girl looked at the minotaur girl with a tired gaze.

"You fall for him." She said briefly, pointing to her stomach. "And become her woman."

Cecil stood unmoving. She lowered her club and dropped it on the deck.

"Is it that obvious?" Her tone returned to normal.

"Of course." Isabelle nodded, sheathing back her Night's Edge. "I've been with him for a long time."

"First woman, huh?" Cecil smirked, making Isabelle's lips twitch. "So, what do you want to–"

"Raaaaaarrrrrr!!"

Before Cecil could finish her sentence, a loud, reverberating roar echoed throughout the sea. She was forced to plug her ears and bent on her knees.

Isabelle wasn't an exception. She also covered her ears with her hand.

The sea suddenly turned wild. Big waves crashed against the haul, rocking the ship uncontrollably. The thugs who secretly watched the fight between two girls from behind the captain's cabin lost their balance. Some of them even fell into the sea.

"What was that!" She shouted loudly, looking at Cecil to look for information.

"A fucking scary monster!" The minotaur girl shouted back as she rose to her feet.

With her experience on the sea, walking in this kind of situation was rather easy for her. She immediately walked to the edge of the ship, gazing toward the distance.

It seemed like she couldn't find what she was looking for except for giant tentacles suddenly rising from the sea.

So she turned back, looking at Isabelle.

"Where is Arthur?!"

A realization dawned on Isabelle. She immediately stood up. The noise from earlier had gone, so she used her hand as a support to go beside Cecil.

At that moment, fear covered her face as she turned pale. Her pupil widened in horror at the sight of a large monster, bigger than she had ever seen in Horizon Online, rising from the sea where Arthur went to.

That monster was familiar to her. Her body trembled at the sight of a beautiful naked woman with many tentacles as its legs.

It couldn't be helped, especially when that said a woman had a mouth on her lower body with rows of sharp teeth ready to eat anything. Green saliva dripped from it to the sea. And in her sight was a single man, standing on an ice platform.

Their size was way too different. But then… The monster moved at a fast speed which was impossible for her size. It plunged toward the area before her and dove into the deep sea.

Boom!

"Arthur!!!!" Isabelle shouted loudly to the point her voice cracked as she saw the sight.

"Oooh! It's working! Great job."

"It's nothing. I am great to be of help."

"Don't sell yourself out. You are a big help this time. I will give you a reward later."

"Thank you very much, Sir Arthur. I will be looking forward to it."

"As you should. Tell me what you want when we return to Academy City. As for now… I will need to deal with something first."

The plan went smoothly.

I could see Isabelle's slumping figure as she sat motionlessly on the ship from where I was hiding behind a tree. Garcia was standing beside me, smiling brightly as I patted her head.

It went better than I had thought, although Isabelle's reaction was more severe than I imagined.

When Isabelle was busy fighting Cecil earlier, I quickly dealt with the sea monsters and met up with Garcia. She created a big illusion where Scylla showed up and ate me whole using her Illusion Magic powered up with the equipment [Sage's Veil] I lent her.

That was the beginning of the plan. To create a bigger impact, I used my skill Mountain Cleaver to create a large wave that pushed the ship to the shore.

In the middle of the confusion, I kicked all the thugs Garcia gathered for Cecil down to the sea. Those guys were just extra to make Cecil's act believable, but it seemed like Isabelle had seen through it easily.

"The real monster will arrive soon. I need to weaken it so Isabelle can defeat it herself." I spoke to Garcia as I retracted my hand from her head.

"I am counting on you to speak to her, Garcia. In 10 minutes, I will send a message to Isabelle through Love Letter. At that time, convince her to go after me."

"Yes, Sir Arthur. May the Goddess' blessing be with you."

"May the Goddess' blessing be with you too, Garcia," I replied to her and put on [Shadow Cape, disappearing into the shadow.

The next plan was for Isabelle to defeat her past trauma and move on. That would be hard, considering Scylla was a hard monster to beat, especially for Isabelle in her current condition and Level.

So I needed to weaken it and kill Charybdis in less than 10 minutes. I might need to unleash my full strength today, so doing it near the town was a bit too dangerous.

'There it is.'

I found a cliff in the place nearest to the big red dots on my radar. One of the dots was bigger than the other, twice the other one's size. Because I was already close, I jumped out from the shadow and threw [Shadow Cape] into my inventory.

Stopping on the edge of the cliff, I looked at the calm sea. No one would ever think beneath that calm, blue sea swam two Boss-rank monsters that could destroy a city or even many regions single-handedly.

Because they were swimming in the deep, their shadows could not be seen from the surface. However…

'It seems that I can use Appraisal on them now.'

My skill didn't care about the depth and only cared about how far away they were from my radar, with me as the pivot.

And when I used it on those two, the result came out with a bit of a surprise.

--

Scylla

Level 90

HP: 16500

MP: 1000

A legendary monster sealed near World-End Waterfall. Her upper body's appearance is similar to a beautiful woman, and she has tentacles as legs with a big mouth underneath her lower body. She's trying to get revenge on humans who dared to seal her and swore to return to Hell once again.

--

Charybdis

Level 35

HP: 3500

MP: 2500

A legendary monster sealed near World-End Waterfall. Its appearance resembles a large worm, often depicted as a deadly whirlpool due to its mouth shape.

--

Charybdis' Level made sense as it was one of the early bosses. I could kill it easily with my current status and equipment. Probably, I only needed a few minutes to force it to surface and spent another 5 minutes to defeat it.

And this monster was probably who brought over Scylla's tentacles that I saw back on that island this dawn.

The problem was Scylla.

"Her HP and Level are too high for a sea monster. But I bet its defense is paper-thin compared to other bosses."

Personally, I had never encountered a Scylla before. Her skill set was unknown to me, and Isabelle couldn't deal any huge damage alone against her in this condition.

The only hope was to aid her.

'My plan needs to be revised slightly.'

I would leave the monster dying, for sure. But afterward, I needed to enter its mouth and burst out from inside, relieving Isabelle's worry and hopefully curing her trauma because she would understand that Scylla wasn't that strong of a monster that could be defeated by the two of us.

"Let's start by fishing them to the surface. Hopefully, I can slash Charybdis in half because I doubt its defense is as high as Ghost Marionette."

Saying so, I took out [Sword of Mars] and got into a stance, raising it high above my head.

"Body Enhancement, Holy Enhancement, Blessing of Angel, Sword Edge, Sharp Edge, Razor, Limit Break."

I used almost every buff I had in hand, and the sword started to glow bright red, fire burning wildly around it. Obviously, I added more MP into the sword to activate its effect. This time I didn't want to split the sea but evaporate it alongside Charybdis.

As for Scylla, I doubted that monster would die in just one attack due to its Level and HP.

However, I was also a bit curious about my current status, so I opened it and took a peek, only to be surprised.

After using Limit Break, my status were doubled. And Body Enhancement added half of my STR and AGI after Limit Break was used.

As a result, I became quite a monster with a lot of HP and MP.

Of course, this wasn't possible before because of my limited MP. Before I used Limit Break, my MP would get depleted first.

The other buffs I used were directed toward my weapon. And I was ready to unleash it anytime soon.

I followed the dots' movement on my radar and waited until it came right in front of me.

"Not yet."

They were still a bit far. Scylla would detect my presence when she was close, and the slight movement on the sea was what I was waiting for.

"They are not here yet."

I knew I should save my MP for the next fight, but I wasn't sure I would be able to kill Charybdis if I missed just slightly.

So to make sure that I wouldn't miss, I pumped more MP into [Sword of Mars]. The fire got bigger after I added 300 MP to the weapon.

Hmmm–!

It hummed, almost unable to hold on to the excessive MP I added more and more into its steel body.

But it would be over soon. So please hold on.

The dots approached faster, and then…

"Laaaa…–!"

A shrill voice with a high note belonging to a woman rang loudly in the area. I narrowed my eyes as it was impossible for me to plug my ear because I noticed a movement in the sea.

"There you are!"

My lips curled up into a big grin as I activated my last skill, the one I got after mastering Swordsmanship.

"Dimensional Breaker"

The name escaped my mouth as I swung my sword down. Nothing happened in a second, but then the flame burst like a torrent. The space got distorted, and the ground split.

Cling!

Only a small sound resounded at first. Then it was followed by an earthquake and explosion.

Grrr…!!

BOOOMM!!!

A bright light covered the area, bathing the surroundings with an orange hue. The temperature rose immediately, and the forest behind me got burnt and only left a barren land.

The split ground burst open, spewing lava as high as the sky and evaporating the water around it. And in the middle of that was a giant worm with its large mouth filled with teeth open wide. The lava covered its body, turning it into ashes.

And besides that body was a giant figure of a naked woman with long hair made of hissing snakes. Three of its eight tentacles were cut, and they writhed in rage and anger as she jumped into the raging and boiling sea.

--

Scylla

Level 90

HP: 10080/16500

--

She didn't run, however. On the contrary, she seemed angry and approached me at a high speed.

Just that one attack took almost half of her HP. Still, it wasn't enough. I needed to chip its HP more.

Scylla, who had arrived in front of the cliff, jumped out of the sea and used its tentacles to stand. It cast a shadow over me with its large build, probably around 50 meters tall.

Her dripping saliva from the big mouth filled with razor-sharp teeth underneath her body, added to the sight of the sea coming back together and calming the lava down behind her, was terrifying.

"Kshaaaaaa!!!!"

The monster tried to intimidate me with her scary voice, but I just stood there motionlessly without any fear.

"Come and eat me, monster."

I said calmly as I jumped toward its big open mouth and sent the Love Letter I had written beforehand to Isabelle.

Chipping its HP would be best done from the inside as no wound would be visible, and I would have time to think about how to burst open this monster's stomach.

"I believe in you, Isabelle."

I muttered for the last time before Scylla swallowed me from her lower hole.

This was a bit anticlimactic, but at least this was the best way I could think of.

Report chapter Comments

The situation in Lima Port City suddenly turned around after the ground shook, and a long pillar of light emerged from the distance.

For some reason, the sea's water level had also suddenly decreased, causing some ships to strand and smaller fish to fall out of the water.

That situation happened so fast. People began panicking, running away toward the tall wall in fear that a large wave would wash the city away.

In this kind of situation, Isabelle still couldn't move from the edge of the tilting ship, holding herself in fear with a pale face.

One woman, Cecil, couldn't stand the sight and approached the onyx-haired girl and grabbed her collar, raising her high to match her gaze.

"Ye scurvy bastard! How long ye be standin' there like a useless deck swab? If ye be truly strong, then let's ruddy well slay that she-devil o' a monster and save Arthur, damn it!" Cecil shouted loudly. Her expression turned into anger because of Isabelle's weak response.

No reply returned, and Isabelle was only dangling on Cecil's hand like a straw doll. Her body shivered in fear, remembering the last sight she had seen back in Horizon Online and what had happened earlier.

"N-No…"

"What be ye meanin' by sayin' 'no' like that, ye scallywag?! Arthur be gettin' himself swallowed by some monstrous beast, and we be needin' to lend him a hand!"

Isabelle didn't respond at all. Instead, she threw her face away, not wanting to see Cecil's anger that was directed at her.

"Coward!"

Shouting, Cecil threw the lifeless Isabelle down her ship. The onyx-haired girl rolled on the sand a few times before she stopped and just lay motionlessly.

This sight further enraged the minotaur girl, and she jumped down the ship, landed near the spiritless girl, and kicked the sand onto her face.

"Ye've left me mighty disappointed." Cecil spat on the sand, looking down at Isabelle.

"Ye were braggin' 'bout how ye knew him inside out, but look at ye now, hidin' like a scurvy bilge rat when he be gettin' devoured by that blasted monster. Did ye not know that the beast won't be digestin' him in her belly for a good year?!"

Isabelle's head perked up at those words, and she looked at Cecil.

"Ye reckon Arthur be gettin' revived by the mornin' and sayin' a jolly 'hello'? Nay, ye fool! Some sea monsters keep their prey alive for a year afore devourin' 'em! Did ye truly reckon he'd be just fine sittin' cozy in that beast's gut for all that time, huh?!"

"Is that true?" Isabelle forced out a weak voice from her throat as she pushed herself up weakly.

Strength left her body due to fear, and she knew she couldn't stay like this and needed to face monsters, but while her mind understood that, her body still couldn't be moved as she pleased.

"Aye, it be true, ye daft fool! Did ye not set eyes on that towering light from afore?! It means our Arthur be still locked in fierce combat with that monstrous creature, even after bein' swallowed whole!"

Isabelle's eyes widened in understanding. That was right.

The only person who could probably do something like that was Arthur and not anyone else. While that attack was stronger, that was certainly Dimensional Breaker, a skill derived from mastering Swordsmanship to the highest.

"Right…" She muttered, standing upward. The sand covering her body fell as she moved, looking at where the light earlier came from. A huge wave was coming from that place, and a shadow of a giant monster with tentacles could be seen within that wave.

Just looking at that shadow brought the primal fear out from within her subconsciousness. However, she stood straight and finally noticed the small window in the corner of her eye.

Isabelle didn't notice it beforehand because her brain failed to register everything, not even her voice. And somehow, her strength returned as she clutched the pendant she wore.

Saying she wasn't afraid anymore was not true. In fact, her legs still trembled in fear. Facing her biggest fear which caused her to be scared of monsters, wasn't easy.

But when she thought of losing Arthur to that monster for at least a year, she somehow thought that would be scarier than that thing. The image of Arthur's body getting chewed by that monster slowly within her stomach made Isabelle grimaced.

Cecil didn't say anything as she understood Isabelle was now facing her inner fear. What she could do was to prepare something else and walk away from the onyx-haired girl silently.

'We just reunited.' Isabelle thought, taking a step forward toward the sea.

The attack from earlier and the floating window probably was his last resort to tell her that he was still alive. And because the monster was too strong, a Boss-rank, Arthur would certainly need time to escape without help. A few days, probably.

That was the crazy guy who solo-ed the last boss that destroyed every player in Horizon Online.

Isabelle trusted him. But she also didn't want him to suffer inside that monster's stomach for too long. So she would help him, even if she was scared.

"Losing him is scarier." She muttered as she opened her status.

Her Level increased by one, but that didn't matter.

She clicked the description for her title, [Horizon Online's Survivor, and brought up the floating window beside the small one.

--

Title:

[Horizon Online's Survive] – A proof of being a survivor of the previous world, Horizon, and reborn in a different body.

Bonus Skill: Transformation – Transform into a 'Player' state. In this state, you are able to bring all your previous ability. Important note (Hidden): You can't be revived if you die in a 'Player' state and you can't return to your current body for 6 months.

--

"It's time to throw away my current identity for a while… I don't want to resort to this."

No one but her could see the important note, not even a person with Max Lv. Appraisal. So Arthur didn't know about this either.

"I need to help him. That crybaby probably cries and is waiting for me."

With a determined gaze, Isabelle took off all her equipment and used the bonus skill.

As she began to jump, a bright light enveloped her whole body. When the light was gone, what appeared wasn't the onyx-haired girl from earlier, but a different girl altogether.

Her stature shrunk a head smaller, and her hair became longer and turned into a platinum blonde. The blue eyes slowly transformed into a green one, and she equipped her best equipment.

A white long bow with an exquisite design was cradled in her left hand, and her right hand pulled the bowstring to the limit, holding a pure white arrow. Her eyes narrowed in concentration as she hovered mid-air, standing on an invisible platform.

This girl was Tristan, the best archer and a good enough swordswoman in Horizon Online. And she was at her strongest thanks to the Title's bonus skill.

Although her hands trembled in fear, and she hadn't shot an arrow for over 12 years, she believed she wouldn't miss her mark, the shadow of a monster in a giant wave rushing toward the shore.

"Thermal Eye, Hawk Eye, Blessing of Sylph, One Shot, Body Enhancement." Her voice had a higher pitch than before, sounding like a younger girl.

Tristan still had no Limit Break skill as she hadn't achieved her limit yet. But that didn't matter. Her job was to make an opening, a hole in the monster's body.

And within that body, she detected a human being. That red silhouette from Thermal Eye was enough for her to smile slightly and calm down considerably.

The trembling in her hand stopped as she read the floating window out loud.

"I am counting on you, Tristan. What do you mean by that, dummy? Try not to depend on me sometimes."

The arrow released from her hand, drawing a light green streak in the air toward Scylla's side body. A loud boom resounded as her hair and the silver pendant on her neck ruffled due to the wind from the released arrow.

It flew faster than a missile and split the wind and sea like a tornado.

"Raaaaaaa!!"

A loud, devastating roar rang as Scylla's upper body appeared from within the wave. On its stomach area, the part that connected to her tentacles was a hole big enough for a human to enter, filled with dripping blue blood.

"Get out of there, crybaby." Isabelle, or rather Tristan, hoped as she lowered her bow. "I know that's enough for you."

And true to her words, a shining golden blade suddenly poked out from that area, widening the hold. Then an armored man covered in mucus and blood jumped out. He landed on the sea, and the area underneath his feet immediately turned into ice.

With a smile on his face, he waved his hand toward her.

Relief washed over Tristan's body as her legs gave out. Finally, her body fell to the ground.

"You're truly the biggest idiot I've ever met." She muttered as she began to lose consciousness from pushing herself.

Report chapter Comments

Saying I was shocked wasn't an exaggeration.

I meant the first thing I saw in the distance after I broke out Scylla's stomach wasn't Isabelle's figure but Tristan's.

Transforming back to Tristan. How the hell did that work? Could she do something like that?

Even the weapon she held in her hand was something she had back in Horizon Online.

Being able to shoot something to injure Scylla would need at least Lv 8 or Lv 9 Archery. That meant her skill set had also changed because I didn't see any Archery skill when I appraised her that time.

Although she fell unconscious after damaging Scylla, her appearance didn't change. Fortunately, Cecil managed to steer her ship right below Tristan and caught her, giving me a sign that she was okay.

As for Garcia, she stood a bit far away from them, on the slope, to avoid the water. She shook her head, gesturing to me that she had done nothing.

After seeing all of them were safe, I nodded and sighed, relieved.

"I am worried and curious, but there is a more pressing matter."

Scylla was angry. No, it was enraged.

The damage done to her body had already reached more than half, thanks to Tristan's attack and me chipping it away slowly from inside. This would usually cause the Boss-rank monster to reach the second stage and begin to use her MP.

My Limit Break duration had also ended. It could only hold on for around 10 minutes, and the cooldown was 1 day.

Dimension Breaker skill was also out of the cold. The requirement to use it had changed slightly, and I didn't need to use all my MP, but to activate it, I still needed to accumulate enough damage to others, and I certainly had no way to do that now.

"It's been a long time since I had a good fight."

Brandishing [Caliburn] in my hand, I infused MP into it to activate its effect. The blade hummed in response, casting a bright golden light. This blade's effect was simple. It maximized my LUC to 100, so I got a better drop back in Horizon Online, and it could cut every magic as long as I kept the MP supply steady.

But in this world, LUC was still a mysterious stat for me. But that didn't matter, tho. As [Caliburn] also provided me with bonus statuses, 30 STR and 25 AGI, unlike [Sword of Mars, which provided no bonus statuses because the effect was already overpowered.

Anyway, it seemed like Scylla also couldn't wait to fight me as her remaining tentacles were all shot, aiming at me. They were fast, and their trajectory was hard to read like a whip.

I calmly took a step forward to avoid two of them.

Bam!

The water exploded as the tentacles dug into it, kicking water high into the air. The remaining tentacles, including the newly regenerated ones, went straight toward me from various angles. Dodging them would be easy, but I didn't need to.

"Sonic Sword"

Swoosh–!

A flying slash cut those tentacles before they could reach me.

"Wooooo!!"

Scylla, whose tentacles were cut, cried in pain. At the same time, the water moved. Many water pillars rose to the sky in an attempt to confuse me and block my view.

I ignored it and jumped up, passing through the wriggling tentacles and the water pillars. The one that blocked me ended up being cut by a simple swing of [Caliburn]. Nothing could stop me, and I wouldn't allow anything to stop me.

My body seemed to fly as I kicked the ice hard to the point it shattered. And soon, I met Scylla face to face. Her face was beautiful, and her red eyes with black sclera was mesmerizing.

But her expression had contorted due to pain and anger. Water tornadoes surrounded her as if replacing her missing tentacles. As a Boss-rank monster from sea, she obviously had Water Magic, and those tornadoes were the result of her magic.

"Shaaaa!!"

With a simple cry, these water tornadoes attacked me from four sides.

Their sizes were massive as they were created from the wave accompanying her. One of them could easily destroy a part of the city and took 25 HP from me, which was a lot considering I had high VIT and defense from my armor.

However, I faced the attack calmly and only swung my sword without any exaggerated movement.

Logically, my simple swing wouldn't do anything to this dangerous magic.

However, my sword [Caliburn] could cut any magic. So when my sword touched the water, it split as if they were just jelly and not dangerous magic that could cut and break anything it touched apart.

Even the monster looked surprised, but she quickly regained her composure and attacked me with her clawed hand.

Pretty smart. Realizing it couldn't do anything with magic, it chose a physical attack.

However…

"I am the master of close-range combat."

Stepping my leg onto the split water tornado, it turned into ice, and I used it to propel myself toward Scylla. My sword hummed once again, and I thrust it toward her chest.

"Pierce!"

A simple Lv 1 Swordsmanship to increase my thrust damage. My sword, covered in bright mana, managed to pierce Scylla's chest cleanly, drawing blue blood. I stood on her boob, pulled my sword, and continued my attack.

"Whirlwind."

I unleashed a series of slashes, cutting her body and upper limb. The remaining tentacles tried to stop me, but my flying slashes cut them before they managed to reach me.

Then I continued to use various skills against her, cutting her upper limbs, damaging her body beyond repair, and leaving her motionlessly floating on the water.

Splash–!

"Raaarrrr!!"

Knowing that all her attempts were useless, Scylla let out a pained scream and began to thrash around, trying to push me off her body.

"Stay still." I pushed my sword deep inside her chest and twisted it around.

Scylla's HP should be almost depleted now after all that. With Appraisal, I checked her HP.

[HP: 380/16500]

"I must say, you're quite helpful," I smirked at the Boss-rank monster, who stopped moving at my order.

The fact Tristan was able to unleash her attack against a monster meant that she had overcome her trauma. I didn't know whether she was fully cured or not, but I was happy that there was progress.

This was, without a doubt, thanks to Scylla.

"I won't be able to cure her without you."

"Grrrr… hu…man…!"

My eyes widened in surprise as I heard an unexpected word. A monster spoke a human word. I pulled my sword from her chest out of surprise and leaned closer to her face.

"Did you just speak?"

"Kill… No!"

"Oh?" My voice rang in an interesting manner. "So you do speak. This is interesting. I never knew a monster could speak."

Although her words were broken, she was, without a doubt, speaking. While I know about monsters with intelligence, I

"Spare… me. Will… obey."

"Obey? You mean as my pet?"

"Yes…"

Again, this was a strange request. A Boss-rank monster asked to be my pet just to spare her life. Everyone would laugh and say that I was crazy if I told them about this.

But then, once again, monsters in this world were unique. Depending on their Level, Boss-rank monsters couldn't be revived for a century or more. That was the setting of this world.

And Scylla, being a Level 90 Boss-rank monster, would definitely only get revived after a hundred or more years.

'But can I even tame a Boss-rank monster?'

I didn't know. But having Scylla as my pet was really tempting.

"Let's try it."

There was first for everything.

Unlike in the situation with Astro, Scylla surrendered to me after knowing the difference of our strengths; she was a high-Level monster.

To tame a high-Level monster, one usually needed a taming scroll.

As an assurance, I took out the highest grade from my inventory.

"After we made a contract, you will serve me and be unable to disobey my command. But if the contract fails, I will kill you. Got it?"

"Spare… me…"

"That's my deal. Just hope that I can make a contract with you."

Saying so, I unruffled the scroll and infused my MP. Whether it succeeded or not, everything was left to the law of this world. Seeing I could even dominate Beatrice, a primordial Succubus, I had a big hope to tame Scylla.

"Begin your prayer. Your fate will be decided with this."

The scroll began to shine brightly as the effect activated. Scylla looked at me with eyes full of hope.

"Will… survive."

A few minutes before the fight between Arthur and Scylla concluded.

Outside Lima Port City, flooded by the giant wave that suddenly appeared, the citizens looked down on their city with worried gazes.

They were speechless, not because of the flood, of course. That happened a lot before the moon got close to the ground.

All of them couldn't say anything because they had just seen something unbelievable. The kingdom knights, which consisted of a group of a dozen people, were also speechless.

Not only did this was the first time they saw a wave as tall as the gate and the flood that attacked the city to the point it reached every nook and cranny, but they also saw a giant monster that could probably top the city easily.

"Frahan, will you survive that?" A young knight asked his comrade with a pale face. "Because I am sure I will die immediately, even with my full armor on." He knocked on his chest plate, which carried Virtue Kingdom's symbol, the white lily.

"Are you kidding me, Greg? There is no way I can survive that. The wave will kill me before I can get close. Only the captain has a chance to get close to them because he's Level 37."

"Hahaha. That's impossible even for me."

The soft-bearded knight captain with short brown hair laughed and tapped the young knights on their shoulders. His expression hardened as he looked over in the distance, his eyes gleaming a brown light matching his irises color due to Hawk Eye skill.

"Only someone like that man is capable. I can't even fathom his strength. Hahaha, truly a monster through and through."

"Captain, do you know him?" The young knight called Greg asked curiously. "You spoke as if you recognized that person who fought that giant monster alone."

"Of course I do." The captain answered with certainty. "In fact, we had heard about him at least once as he was a hot topic just a few days ago."

"Huh?"

The young knights still couldn't understand. The other experienced ones just chuckled behind the captain. Not all of them had Hawk Eye skills like the captain, but they had already guessed that mysterious person's identity from his captain's words.

"It's the Paladin." He whispered to his subordinates, causing their jaws to fall out of surprise.

"Really?!"

"He's really strong!"

The captain smirked at their childish reaction as if they had met a real hero. That wasn't far from the truth.

Because what that person currently did was an act similar to a hero in a story. Facing a giant sea monster that could create a wave as tall as the city wall alone, although it seemed like he was helped once before, was something straight from the fairy tail.

Then his expression turned serious as he took a step forward. The battle on the sea had reached its climax. Not even he could see that man and the monster's movement. All he could see was a splash of blue blood mixed with water and a play of light.

"That guy is really a monster. There is no news about him being here, so what is he doing in this city? The church is supposed only to investigate the village near the capital."

He muttered to himself, holding his chin as he fell into deep thought, ignoring his subordinate.

"Then he's moving by himself? I don't know, but it's reassuring. However…"

This created another trouble and unsolved debt to the Kingdom. The captain knew better because he was one of the knights escorting King Cassius at the time he visited the church.

And he coincidentally heard the King grumbling about something related to that person before going inside the carriage.

Another reason was his superior also told him not to allow any people from the church to get any credit for this investigation.

It seemed like the tension between the kingdom and the church was at an all-time high, and the higher-ups apparently wanted to make an excuse to cover up something.

As a captain of a kingdom knight, Jerven didn't know a lot about it, but he just knew that what happened right now was a blessing for the citizens and trouble for the kingdom.

'I need to report it as soon as possible.'

Raising his head, he noticed the monster had disappeared, and that man with blond hair and dark blue armor began walking casually on the sea, causing him to smile wryly.

"So a Paladin can walk on the water? That's just ridiculous."

Due to his surprise, his voice was louder than before, and many people heard him. The young knights began to call Paladin with respect in their voices and admiration in their eyes. Some citizens fell on their knees, thanking the Goddess for sending the Paladin to their rescue.

As for Jerven, he silently walked away from the crowd after telling the experienced knight to handle the rest and calm the citizens.

He walked toward a sparse area behind a tree and took out [Earring of Communication] from his chest pocket. Infusing MP into it, he called the receiver from the other side.

It didn't take long before his call was received. Jerven straightened his posture and saluted with his hand on top of his left chest to pay respect to the person on the other side of the call.

"Knight Jerven has something to report." He spoke in a hushed voice but didn't leave the respect behind it. "The Paladin showed up and dealt with the source of the monster anomaly, Your Highness. Please give me your next instruction."

[Good work. Proceed as planned and keep in check with the Paladin.]

A soft voice answered

"Is that okay?"

[Yes. I doubt he will be able to make an obvious move against the kingdom knight. Do ask his intention of being there, but don't antagonize him. I will need him to play a part in my plan.]

"I humbly received your order, Your Highness."

The call ended one-sidedly from the other side after he replied, and the captain took off the earring, heaving a tired sigh as his job increased due to the unexpected appearance of the Paladin.

"Don't antagonize him but still check on him."

Not to mention, because his squad had helped the evacuation process, he would also need to help deal with the aftermath of the chaos with the other knights from the port city. They weren't that unrelated to this incident.

"What a tall order you gave me, Your Highness. But I will do it for your sake."

It was truly a shame.

A few hours had passed since I defeated Scylla, and the sea level had returned. It didn't return to normal as a huge volume of water evaporated from my attack, but at least the city wasn't submerged anymore, thanks to everyone's effort.

They deployed people who could use Water Magic to drive the water out of the city. It seemed like they had experienced a flood a few times, as their reaction was quick.

Some houses and lodgings were destroyed, including where we had stayed before. As a result, we were forced to move to the lodging near the gate's entrance and far from the church.

This lodging was better than before and was high enough to see the sea, so the price was rather high. Not that I cared, though. The room was better, and the bed was bigger.

So we ended out rented out two highest floor rooms. As for the record, Cecil joined us and was currently in another room with Garcia, so my beloved perverted nun could explain to the minotaur girl what kind of thing to expect when following me.

As for me, I sat on a chair, facing a bed whose occupant was sleeping soundly with a relieved smile on her face. That smile reminded me of the past, and I wanted to stroke her hair so badly.

The lustrous platinum blonde hair that looked similar to mine and her small cute face reminded me of an animal. Her size had shrunk from before, her height similar to Milea now, and her chest area deflated, leaving nothing.

However, this figure was comforting to me as I had already used to see her for 3 years.

"Glad to have you back."

With a simple Appraisal, I noticed her (Severe Trauma) had turned to (Mild Trauma). It wasn't a perfect cure, but I was glad it wasn't as bad as before.

And when I appraised her, I noticed her Level had changed. Not only that, her skill set was also different from before. The Lv 8 Swordsmanship remained, but there were also Lv 9 Archery beside that.

At that time, she was the best archer who managed to achieve Lv 9 in just 3 years of constant grind. Her title had one additional, but I could now see the effect of [Horizon Online's Survivor] unlike before.

"So that's the reason." I nodded in understanding after reading it.

Isabelle had regained her body, Tristan. And according to the description, it seemed like she had indeed died and was reborn to this world.

That was why she said it was 12 years for her instead of 2 years.

I didn't know how to feel for her to throw away the identity she had for so long. I was happy that she returned to her previous appearance, but I was worried that she had become like me and couldn't get revived after she died.

It might be only deleting her title for her, but I didn't know whether I needed to risk it. I needed to protect her so she wouldn't die. Thankfully, the effect of her bonus skill was only limited to 6 months.

I bet she would scream and yell at me because her breasts were gone, but I already had something in my inventory to appease her anger.

For now…

"I hope for your fast recovery."

In a dark environment devoid of anything, Tristan opened her eyes and looked around.

Unfortunately, it was too dark for her to see even her own hand. She could only see her long blonde hair falling onto her face.

"Huh?"

Nothing made sense at first, but her memories then returned as she remembered her last memories. It was when she used the bonus skill to transform back to the 'Player' state, or so the system said and took her bow to save Arthur.

"That's right." She muttered in a low voice. "I've become Tristan again, not the scared Isabelle."

The character she created, Tristan, was a sign of her strong self. Nothing scared her, but she felt sorrow and pity for her weak self.

In the end, she decided to change and gained courage, something she had rediscovered just a little while ago. She was happy. Arthur seemed to be safe, and she believed he could beat that monster easily.

Within her thoughts, a question appeared.

"Where is this?"

The darkness enveloped her warmly like she was within a cocoon that protected her from everything. It felt comforting… But it was at the same time lonely.

Without realizing it, she stood up and began to walk, looking to her left and right to see where she was. At first, she stumbled and fell on her face.

"Ouch!"

It wasn't because something tripped her or anything. But it was because she wasn't used to walking yet. The balance, the legs' length. Everything was different from when she was Isabelle.

"I need to get used to it quickly."

Fortunately, this place was perfect for that. She did react earlier, but she felt no pain attacking her when her face planted on the dark ground. That confirmed this was within her dream.

Nothing stopped her then. But she needed to return fast.

"Maybe the crybaby needs my help."

Her body suddenly felt light as she stood once again, jumping lightly to sense her new center of balance.

Nodding to herself, Tristan kicked the ground and accelerated quickly. After traveling for a few seconds, she increased her speed and began to laugh.

How did she forget this joy? No, she didn't forget it. She just ran away from the truth and from everything.

This dream, the dark space, was indeed a cocoon to protect her from any external danger. She shut herself, even to the person she was close with.

But she wasn't afraid anymore. No, she couldn't afford to be afraid. Even if she felt that way, the person beside her would blow it away.

"Arthur still needs me by his side." A smile appeared on her face, breaking off her ice-cold expression. "He will now help me."

The dark space changed. Light entered the dark space, blinding Tristan's eyes. She immediately stopped and closed her eyes at the sudden brightness increase.

When she opened them again, they felt heavy, and she felt like she was lying on a bed, wrapped by a warm blanket.

Only a glance was needed to know that she didn't recognize the ceiling. However, she recognized the person who smiled brightly after seeing her opening her eyes.

"You finally woke up, flat chest."

Even his irritating voice spewed out a familiar insult. Normally, she would hit him on his head, but now she could only smile widely at that insult.

"You talk big for a crybaby."

Both of them laughed at the insults they often threw at each other in the past, showing how close they were.

Tristan felt like something that burdened her all this time left her, and she returned to the good, old past. She knew that it wouldn't change anything, but she enjoyed this time. And she had decided on something.

"Arthur." She called out the name of her closest companion. He just nodded in understanding, listening to her. "Let me tell you what happened to me after that story. But in exchange… Can you tell me how they died?"

Arthur didn't need to hear who 'they' Tristan talked about. So he nodded.

"Alright. I'll listen to the continuation of your story."

"Hold my hand, please." Tristan requested, and Arthur squeezed her hand gently.

His hand was bigger than hers, and it was warm. Nothing scared her anymore if she was with him, and she could now face her scary past.

Then she told him what had happened to her after meeting the scary Scylla in that dungeon.

Report chapter Comments

Morning.

I got no sleep because I listened to Tristan's story, and she also listened to mine about how our former comrades met their last.

Her ice-like expression melted into tears when I finished telling her my story, and I also needed to process her story because it seemed to be absurd.

She told me that she had an idea why she ended up in this world as Isabelle. It was because she activated a magic item she found inside Scylla's body when she was about to die.

After that, she woke up on a beach and got enslaved in the Sin Kingdom. After listening to her, I was mad and about to depart to destroy that place, but she stopped me. However, I remembered the name of that city and her enslavers. Just wait.

The story continued. Because she woke up as a kid with no sex appeal, she was safe from being asked to work in the brothel. She was also smart and could do the math, so she was asked to help the store.

While doing that, she secretly trained. Bow and arrow were impossible to get in that place, but something similar to a sword and many knives was present.

In that place, she killed her emotions and finally escaped. Although it wasn't a smooth escape, she managed to find a [Teleportation Gem] in the storage and ended up in Academy City because the destination wasn't specified.

So that was why she got that ice-cold demeanor from before. I couldn't blame her at all.

"Maybe I won't be able to smile as much as before, but I feel like opening up again in front of you."

Or so Tristan said before she returned to her cold stare. It didn't look as scary as before because of her cute face and short stature. If I stood Tristan beside Milea, I bet they would look like a sibling.

I only chuckled, let her rest for the day, and checked on Cecil and Garcia after giving her a kiss on the forehead.

Tristan's reaction was funny. Her face was tinted red while she pursed her lips, imitating a kid who was left by her father to go to work.

When I arrived in Garcia's room, I noticed both of them were holding their own breasts, and Garcia looked rather serious, looking at Cecil.

"You should twist it like this if you want to produce milk. Look, it's squirting."

"I see. That's interesting."

Garcia imitated Cecil's motion as she squeezed her breasts. But unlike Cecil, there was no milk squirting from her nipple.

"…"

I was speechless as it seemed like the perverted nun wanted to lactate and asked the minotaur girl to teach her. There was no way that could happen, no?

"Cough."

I faked a cough and closed the door behind me to announce my presence. Both of them turned to me and gave me a different reaction.

"Oh, Sir Arthur! Please forgive my unsightly appearance. I tried to learn how to create milk, but it seems I cannot."

Garcia spoke honestly without hiding anything while fixing her clothes. She just needed to pull the loose clothes dangling on the side back to the front, and she was done.

As for Cecil, she smiled playfully as she stood up, putting her hands on her hips as she let milk drip down her breasts without wiping them.

"Do you want to drink milk again, boy? It's still fresh from the source." She said as she puffed up her chest, causing her massive breasts to bounce.

"Not now."

I shook my head. Cecil looked disappointed at her failed attempt to tease me, clicked her tongue, and wore her red bikini again.

Smirking, I took out two [Teleportation Gems] from my inventory and approached Garcia.

"Can you return to Academy City first with Cecil, Garcia? I feel like trouble will come if we don't leave shortly and I still have something I'd like to check."

Garcia first looked at the gems in my hands before nodding and taking them without question.

"Certainly, Sir Arthur. Do you need anything else?"

"Great. You can also show Cecil around. I am counting on you, Garcia." I patted Garcia's head, and she purred happily.

Then I turned to Cecil.

"I hope you can get used to the Academy City fast. If you want a house for yourself, just tell Garcia about it. I will give your treasure back after you settle in, okay?"

"That sounds too good to be true." Cecil laughed merrily. "But I guess that's a given, huh? Mr. Paladin."

"Your attempt to tease me is useless, Cecil. I just played along in the past to get close to you."

"… The fact you said it like that makes you sound like a jerk."

"But you said you like me, Cecil." I returned to my act of an innocent boy, and Cecil's lips twitched in disgust. "See? Now that you know what I really like, that act sounds disgusting, no?"

"You're right…" She heaved a sigh. "You're way better right now. And you can satisfy me more when you're not acting." Her face blushed slightly as she looked away from me.

Garcia looked between Cecil and me repeatedly before smiling brightly. From her look, I knew she planned something, but I could rest easy if the one who had a plan was Garcia. She would definitely plan something to make me happy.

After giving Cecil a few hundred Gold Coins as an allowance, I left them and headed back to Tristan's room.

Unlike when I entered Garcia's room, I knocked properly this time. Our relationship with each other was closer than what I had with other people, but Tristan wasn't my girl yet. It was more like we were best friends than lovers, even though we said we loved each other.

'I need to get her answer first.'

The answer I was waiting for came shortly in the form of a cold voice.

"Just enter, Arthur."

I smiled wryly and pushed the door open. Inside, Tristan stood in front of a mirror, looking at her green-leather armor. She spun around slightly, causing her white skirt to flutter.

She held a beautiful white bow in her left hand as she struck a pose of pulling the bowstring while pointing it at me.

"What do you think?" She asked coldly.

"It's nostalgic," I closed the door and replied with a wry smile. "[High Elves Tunic] and [Yggdrasil Bow]. It's good to see your archer equipment again."

"I can't use it before as I haven't reached Level 90 as Isabelle." She spoke in a sad tone and lowered her bow.

"And I almost can't use anything in my inventory as I already discarded almost everything before going to the dungeon. That's why I needed 2 years to run away."

"Understandable." I nodded and approached her. "Are you ready to return to Academy City now? If we stay a bit longer, I feel like the kingdom knights will knock on our door to ask for an explanation. I'd like to avoid that and…"

"And?"

"I wanted to show you something, so returning with [Teleportation Gems] is not ideal."

"Ah…" She exclaimed with an understanding tone. "We use that thing? It's been a long time since we rode that together."

"Yes. How is it?"

"Sure. You're my superior, and I can't return alone because of my new appearance."

Tristan flicked her hair back and looked straight into my eyes.

"So you need to explain it to them, leader."

"You just called me a leader for troublesome things, as always."

I huffed and opened the window of our room. It faced straight against the sea, perfect for our destination.

"Prepare a lot of arrows, Tristan. Our destination will be filled with monsters."

"Okay." She nodded and took out a quiver, slinging it over her shoulders. "I am ready."

I smiled at her, took out my vehicle, the magic carpet, and jumped on it. Tristan followed closely from behind and crouched beside me, holding her bow tightly in her left hand.

"Let's go. To the World-End Waterfall."

Report chapter Comments

Tristan's eyes widened at my words, but then she nodded in understanding as she remembered what I had told her before we went to Lima Port City.

My real goal of coming to this city besides curing Tristan's trauma. That was to check the World-End Waterfall for a sign of going to another world.

While I had found out about how Tristan had arrived in this world, I was still curious about what lay beyond the waterfall.

Infusing MP and controlling it, the magic carpet took off at its fastest speed. It split the wind and created a shockwave around the inn, toppling some flower pots down.

I felt rather bad, so I threw some Gold Coins into the street so they could use it to change their pot. At least I had the intention to compensate them.

We sped up once we reached the sea, and I put up a Barrier to keep the wind pressure pushing us from the front.

The silence between us was suffocating as Tristan was concentrated deeply. She didn't need to be that focused, as I could detect monsters coming for us, so I decided to tease her.

"You're not going to scream because of the speed?"

Tristan looked at me in disbelief and confusion.

"Why should I?"

"You always screamed in excitement whenever we reached full speed in the past."

"Oh… Right." Her voice sounded down. "But I am not that excited now. We are going to a dangerous area, right? I am worried about our safety, especially about you. Aren't your MP got depleted from your fight against that monster?"

"I didn't tell you yet?" I asked, and she raised her eyebrows and tilted her head.

I forgot about that. I only told her about my story of defeating the last boss and didn't tell her about my reward for beating it.

"I now have around 9000 MP, and the requirement to use Dimensional Breaker, the ultimate skill I talked about, was different. Thanks to that, my recovery speed has also increased, so I have full HP and MP now." I said proudly.

"That's…!"

Her eyes widened as her face scrunched with a mix of surprise and jealousy. Of course she would be jealous.

No one from Horizon Online wouldn't be jealous of having more than 100 HP and 100 MP. That was something sought by many.

People who had mastered a few Max Lv skills could break past it using Limit Break, but only I managed to break past it without using any skill.

"My status has also increased. They are now averaging 300."

"Are you becoming a monster?! You didn't even need my help escaping from that monster then! I thought you were…"

"If I escaped alone, that would take a few days. Inside Scylla is really gross, you know? The stomach liquid and all that mucus. Ugh… I don't want to experience something like that again. Do you want me to tell you about how gross it is? The meat is mov…–"

"Alright, alright. Let's forget about that. I already knew the condition inside that monster, and I don't want to remember it."

Before I could continue my story, Tristan blocked my mouth with her free hand. Then she narrowed her eyes as she looked at a distance.

"I feel many Mana in the distance with my Mana Sense. The number is…"

"Thousands, no?" I interjected her and stood up, taking out Sword of Mars.

Looking forward, I enhanced my senses. Many flying islands came into my sight, and each of them was filled with winged monsters from Griffin, Wyverns, and there was even a Level 60 Lesser Dragon in the distance.

"Kill the one that escapes my skill, Tristan."

"You didn't need to tell me."

In the quiver she slung over her shoulders, a dozen arrows appeared, and she took one of them and knocked it in her bow.

Tristan didn't need a lot of time to decide her target. It was common sense to first deal with the strongest one to add damage for an area attack.

"Focus Shot"

Pang!

Her arrow flew straight toward the highest-leveled dragon at the back of the flying island. It left a green trail, and I also swung my sword at the same time.

"Sword Sonic"

An orange flying slash escaped my sword and flew forward in an arch, getting larger and larger as it traveled. And when it hit the trail left behind by Tristan's arrow, the arch deformed and shattered, flying everywhere like a sword rain.

The first one to arrive was Tristan's arrow. It pierced the dragon's skull, instantly knocking it down the flying island. My attack arrived later, hitting everywhere unanimously. The flying island got destroyed, falling to the sea while some debris stayed floating.

Obviously, the monsters were also hit. Their bodies burst because of the attack. Some were lucky enough to escape and tried to attack us, but Tristan didn't allow them to get close.

"Hundreds Arrow Rain"

Another arrow was released. It suddenly split into hundreds of green arrows in the middle of its trajectory, each going toward its target homing. Nothing escaped it, and the low-Level flying monsters got massacred shortly.

"It's easy." Tristan lowered her bow. "The monsters here are weaker than Horizon Online." She added.

True. This world was originally an erotic game, and the setting of the world wasn't that focused on fighting monsters. It wasn't a surprise that the monster in this world was way weaker than their counterpart in Horizon Online.

However…

"Don't lower your guard. This is just the first defense."

Because we were flying, we didn't need to deal with the sea monsters running around below us. That meant we went to an easier way, but…

"You're right," Tristan muttered as a bead of sweat dripped down her forehead. "That's a lot of monsters."

"Do you need some potion?"

I asked as I stretched my left hand forward, my palm facing the row of monsters flying toward us, filling up the sky.

"Not now." She replied and took out an orange and dark green potion in a round container. Without wasting time, she used her teeth to open both potions and gulped them down. "I still have some in my inventory." She continued and threw the empty bottle down.

"Great. I hope you're ready for a long-lasting battle." I grinned and took a peek at my radar. The area in front of us was filled with red dots. "Just tell me when you need a potion. My inventory is filled with our former comrades' and enemies' items."

"That's reassuring."

That was the end of our conversation. The enemies were getting close, and I started by using the ultimate magic from Max Lv Holy Magic.

"Holy Ray"

A large light beam shot from my palm like a laser. The beam's diameter was 6 meters wide, and it extended until I couldn't see the end of it.

The monsters hit by the beam disintegrated into nothing. Not even their ash remained.

However… Not all of them died from that attack. Many monsters, larger ones, managed to survive with only some injuries.

Angry roars filled the sky, causing the world to shake. Tristan seemed to get a bit affected by (Fear) effect from their roar, so I used Cure on her to cure the debuff.

"Now it's the battle of stamina. Rest whenever you need it, Tristan."

"I don't really need that." She replied coldly. "But I can make use of the MP potion later."

Her confident answer made me smile happily. This was really nostalgic too, so I enjoyed this moment.

And so we went inside the monster horde and began to make our way toward our goal, World-End Waterfall.
