Traveling to the Dungeon

In the morning, Kris woke, the slender form of Celica stilled wrapped up in his arms. He gave a small smile, before having a realization, Shoot! I didn't think about the contraceptive medicine again!

At the door, he saw an eye (and ear) of Mibu poking around the corner. Smiling, she gave him a thumbs up, before sliding out of sight.

Kris gently shook Celica awake.

She took a moment to gather her bearings, before blushing and snuggling back into his check. “Celica, we need to go...you need to take some contraceptive medicine too.”

Celica shook her head. “Mibu gave me some after the bath last night.”

Kris grabbed his forehead. Of course she thought about it beforehand when I didn't...

After washing up, they got dressed and joined Mibu and Paddy, who were ready to go. Paddy grabbed the biggest trunk, hucking it over her back and strapping it down.

Kris leaned up and gave her a kiss in appreciation.

Paddy seemed somewhat confused, but accepted the kiss anyway, not unhappy.

Mibu put her hands on her hips. “Hey, where's-”

However, she was cut off as Kris gave her one as well. “Sheesh, I was getting to it...” he teased her.

Mibu blushed, before giving a fist pump. “Alright, now we're ready!”

They had rented again the carriage driven by the same old man who had taken them to the cyclops village. After putting their trunk and bags in, they got in and headed out.

There was immediately a problem, as both Celica and Mibu tried to next to Kris, causing the three of them to be squeezed together on one side.

Paddy sat across from them, seemingly content to have a bench to herself.

“Um...this is a little cramped...” Kris said.

“Celica had you last night though...” Mibu responded.

“But...you've had him way more! I need to catch up!” Celica said, wrapping her arms around Kris.

“It's a long trip, you'll both get a chance.”

Eventually, Mibu and and Celica decided to play odds and evens for right to sit next to him first, with Celica winning.

Celica wrapped her arms around Kris again, rubbing her face in her chest

Mibu grinded her teeth together a bit, but then sighed and sat next to Paddy, leaning against her.

Paddy smiled and patted her head.

As dusk neared, they stopped at an inn on the way to Baverne. Walking inside, the tavern was very lively, as the road from Coburn to Baverne was a well-traveled one. Sitting down at one of the few empty tables, they ordered some mutton and drinks.

Celica seemed to be eating very quickly, finishing her mutton and ordering another.

“Why are you so hungry? We've just been sitting all day,” Kris teased her.

Celica blushed. “I'm going to try putting on some weight so I fit in better.”

Kris looked around. He and Mibu were both toned and fit, which wasn't surprising given all the walking and fighting they did.

Paddy was...very thick. Kris thought she had actually lost some weight recently too, but she was still a bit blubbery in the legs and midsection. And the breasts. Of course, Kris knew from experience that she had some strong, thick muscles underneath.

Celica, on the other hand, was incredibly thin, to the point Kris could probably almost wrap her up with one arm. Actually, Paddy probably could do it.

However, as Kris was trying to formulate a response, Mibu jumped in, “What do you mean, Kris mated with you just like that, didn't he?”

“Shhh...” Kris said, looking around. Since the tavern was so busy, it didn't seem like anybody had heard.

Celica shook her head. “I know, but...” she trailed off, blushing and pulling her hood over.

Paddy patted her headed and smiled.

Kris was a bit conflicted. I don't mind at all if she's that thin, but pragmatically... “Don't feel like you have too, but if you want too, that's fine too. I'm sure the extra energy will help once we're in the dungeon.”

Celicia smiled, picking up her second piece of mutton and starting to chow down.

A couple hours later, Celica was sitting in a chair in their room, in a food coma and holding her stretched out stomach. “Uwahh...I ate too much...”

Mibu, who had had several drinks, was snoring on the bed already.

Paddy went over and picked up Celica, laying her down gently on the bed next to Mibu.

“Thanks, Paddy,” Celica said, giving a pained smile before closing her eyes.

Kris then came in the room, having gone to the front desk for some tea. “I brought-” but stopped as he saw the room. Shrugging, he set the tea down and offered some to Paddy.

Giving a smile, Paddy grabbed a cup, downing it quickly.

Kris took a sip of his own, but almost dropped his cup as Paddy wrapped her arms around him.

“Paddy!?” Kris said, looking around at her.

“Ummm...can you keep me company tonight?”

Wow...Paddy is being very...forward.

Setting his tea down, Kris turned around to see Paddy blushing.

“Of course. Are you...feeling alright?” Kris asked.

Paddy nodded. “Yes. I just...I just want you to hold me.”

Kris wrapped his arms around Paddy, who shivered a bit. He then reached up, planting a delicate kiss on her lips.

Paddy blushed even harder, before picking Kris up and bringing him to the empty bed. Sitting him down, she pulled off his shirt.

Kris chuckled, “Hey, you too,” before pulling off her shirt, so her breasts were spilling out in front of him. Pulling off her bra, he started licking her nipples, causing Paddy to moan softly as she wrapped her arms around him again.

After a few moments, she noticed his member fighting to escape his pants, and pulled them off, causing it to flip out.

Kris patted the bed next to him. Paddy sat down as directed, causing it to creak a bit. Kris reached into her pants, inserting a finger into Paddy, who in turn grabbed Kris's member, rubbing it up and down, and reaching over to make out with him once more.

After a minute, Kris was at his breaking point. Gently pushing Paddy down onto the bed, he slid off her pants and undergarment, before pulling up her legs and inserting himself into her.

Paddy gave a 'yip' of pleasure, before putting her hands on Kris's shoulders as he started thrusting in and out of her.

“Kris...please...” she moaned gently.

Kris nodded, picking up the pace before spasming and coming deep inside her, hitting Paddy's thighs with each release.

Breathing heavily, he fell onto Paddy, head in her breasts.

Paddy held him tightly, before pulling him up towards her so she could kiss him again.

Kris, despite the heavy breathing, chuckled a bit. “It's weird being pulled and picked up, usually I'm the one doing that.”

Paddy blushed a bit, “Sorry...”

Kris kissed her, “I don't mind if it's you...”

Paddy seemed to tear up a bit. Squeezing him to her again, she whispered, “Thank you for keeping me.”

Knowing what she was referring too, Kris shook her head. “Don't be silly, I'm not getting rid of you. In fact, I'm never letting you go,” he add, rubbing his member against her again.

This was too much for Paddy, who spun Kris onto his back and straddled on top of him. Sliding herself down onto his member, she started moving up and down on top of him.

Kris was slightly worried he was going to be crushed, but the intense pleasure radiating from his member caused him to let her continue.

After a few moments, she fell over, leaning on her elbows and making out with him again as she started to wiggle her lower end around.

With all the stimulation, Kris quickly finished again, pushing up into Paddy.

Caught off guard, Paddy spasmed a bit, falling over onto Kris, her breasts padding her fall a bit.

With some effort, Kris wrapped his arms around her, pulling her down next to him, kissing her gently. “You're really amazing Paddy.”

Paddy couldn't really get any more red, instead just looking demurely and shyly smiling.

At that point, Kris was too tired to continue, instead wrapping his arm around Paddy and closing his eyes.

Paddy, seeing this, tried her best to fall asleep, although her heart was racing so much, it took a while for her to eventually join him in slumber.

In the morning, they (with Celica needing some assistance) got back into the carriage, and continued their journey.

“Did you have a good time with Paddy?” Mibu asked, giving a smile.

Kris blushed a bit. “Er...yes...were you awake?”

Mibu nodded. “I woke up partway through, but I was so tired, I just went back to sleep.”

Celica seemed a bit upset. “It's my turn next.”

Mibu shook her head. “I don't mind sharing, but it should be mine, since you were two nights ago.”

Celica was about to respond but Kris held up his hands. “Hold on, hold on. I think we need to...um...” he wasn't sure how to best broach the topic. Deciding after a few moments to just say it, he continued, “I think we need to stop the sex for a bit. While we're in the dungeon, I mean. We need to conserve our energy.”

Celica blushed, looking down.

“Really?” Mibu asked. “But we normally...”

Kris shook his head. “I know, but I don't want to take any chances. These monsters will probably be tougher than normal. I don't want anything to...happen to one of us.”

Mibu blushed a bit, but then gave a fist pump. “I won't let anything happen to any of us, either. The pack has to stick together!”

Towards the mid-afternoon, they could see a city, they assumed Baverne, come into the distance. To the south side of the town, there was a small village of buildings. The carriage driver took a bypass road towards the village, stopping outside of them.

As they got out the carriage drive tipped his hat while they unloaded their luggage. “Any idea how long you'll be in there?”

Kris shook his head. “The plan is a week, but I can't say for sure.”

He nodded slowly. “I may be back in a week. If not, well...there's other carriage drivers,” he added before clacking the reins and heading back out.

Holding their luggage, they crowded together along the side of the road. The village was full of stalls selling everything you might need for the Dungeon. Camping supplies, weapons and armor, food. There was also warriors for hire, willing to join your party inside (although at rates so exorbitant Kris didn't even consider it).

As they were looking around, Celica asked. “What now? Are we going in?”

Kris thought for a moment. “I'm thinking we should rest tonight, then go in in the morning.”

Mibu was looking around excitedly. “Can we at least go look at it?”

“Yeah, may as well. Need to find the local guild too.”

Walking through street, besides all the stalls, the buildings all seemed to be either inns or merchants, especially blacksmiths. One also looked to be a slave trader, based on the empty cells outside of it.

In the middle of the town, there was a giant stone archway, with steps leading down from it. Outside, several guards stood.

Walking up to one of them, Kris asked, “Is this the Dungeon entrance?”

The guard looked at him suspiciously, then at his companions, and nodded. “Yes. Is this your first time?”

They all nodded.

The guard pointed to a building to the side of them. “Go in there first.”

Kris raised an eyebrow.

“Just do it, you're chances of surviving go way up.”

Deciding not to argue at that, Kris led the others over to the building. Outside, there was a small Adventurer's Guild plaque. Oh, that's why... Inside, a middle-aged woman was dusting the floor, wearing the same outfit Corinne always wore.

She gave them a warm smile as they entered. “Oh, are you with the Guild?”

Kris nodded. “Yes, the guard said we should go over here, and Corinne said we should stop by before we go in.”

The lady nodded. “Good, good. How is Corinne doing? Still running a tight ship?”

Kris gave an awkward smile, “Yeah...”

The lady walked to the bar, standing behind it as Corinne would. “I'm assuming you all have your passes?”

They showed them off.

“Very good,” she nodded. “Now, here are some dungeon basics,” she said, pulling out a paper with writing on it. “Firstly, I see you are prepared to camp inside, which is good, but make sure to only camp on floors you've already cleared the enemies from. If you must camp on one you haven't cleared yet, make sure you have a watch rotation, and be prepared to have your sleep interrupted.”

Kris nodded.

The lady continued, “Second, if you go back through a barrier you entered, you won't go back up to the previous floor, you exit the Dungeon. So only go through when you're ready to leave.”

Kris nodded. “That's convenient.”

The lady smiled, “Quite. Thirdly, don't be afraid to run away if you can't handle a monster. There's no shame in not getting killed.”

Kris winced a bit. “Of course.”

She went over a few more basic explanations, before asking, “Do you have any other questions?”

Kris nodded. “Do you have a map of the Dungeon for us to use?”

The lady giggled, “No, that's not possible. It changes for every party when they enter.”

Oh, so it's like procedurally generated type games. Does that also mean...? “How does that work with other people though? Would we never see other parties then?”

The lady smiled, “Yes, that is correct, your party will be 'alone' in the Dungeon, even if other parties are currently adventuring into it.”

Kris nodded.

“Do you have any other questions?”

Kris shook his head and looked at the others.

Mibu and Celica also shook their heads, but Paddy seemed like she wanted to say something.

“What's wrong, Paddy?” Kris asked.

Paddy seemed a bit nervous, but then said. “Um...do a lot of people...not make it?”

The lady gave a weak smile, “Unfortunately, some don't. Remember, if you're not confident, just come back. If you leave you can always try again, but if you die...”

With that ominous warning, they bid farewell to the lady and left to find an inn for the night. Finding one nearby, there was only a few occupants in the tavern area, so they grabbed a table and ordered some stew (having decided to not drink at all that night, besides water).

After a quick dinner, they grabbed a room and headed inside. Everyone was a bit nervous and not talking much.

Kris was busy sitting next to the window, going through their status screens and thinking. I should probably lead, and have Paddy in the back to protect our rear. Maybe give Mibu the bow and have her behind me...

Celica had dozed off on one of the beds, and Paddy was sitting with her head down on the other, nibbling on a fish.

Mibu was sitting on one of the chairs, reading a book.

After a while, Paddy also fell asleep, and Mibu closed her book. Coming over to Kris, she sat in his lap.

“Mibu, we talked about this...”

Mibu shook her head, “I know, I just...” she wrapped her arms around him, lying her breasts on his chest and putting her chin on his shoulder. “I just want to hold you for a bit.”

Kris smiled, wrapping his arms around her as well.

“Are you nervous?” Mibu asked.

Kris nodded. “Are you?”

Mibu also nodded. “Yes, but...I'm kind of excited.”
