This time, when I woke up, there were… 17 of them I think?
No, if I remember well, one passed-out at an early stage and was given medical care while another was called back in the middle of the night for an emergency. But both still count… So 19.
Good, things are progressing smoothly, this brings the total to 1237, I’m still 2486 off, but I’m getting closer.
Oh! Right, there was that maid who came and brought us some snacks, and was mistaken for a participant… and this one who was jealous and couldn’t make it, but received her consolation prize afterwards. 1239, we are going forward.
Haha! Who said ‘Beware of lust, it corrupts both the body and the mind.’!
My perfect memory refutes the later, while my situation proves the former’s opposite. I’m healthy and well, and it appears I have 3723 legal proof who can testify, without any need to search for some random stranger first-class witnesses which are few, or scarce husban–I mean second-class one!
“Hello? Did you hear me?”
…some of them were also first-class though…
“Hero-kun?”
Ah yes, that’s right, some had this fetish and some even pushed their wife to me first…
But!!! I’m not some ugly bastard in an NTR novel, I’m the hero!!! What’s the point if you take all sense of accompli--I mean give me remorse and bad feelings.
Okay, I grant you that I wasn't the type to put much resistance and tend to compel rather quickly. Still! I'd never done it knowingly, even less obliged, and yet, what am I supposed to do when some random girl offers herself.
I can’t check on everyone’s background beforehand, can I? Yes, accidents happen, but I was always the first to ensure they remain unknown.
I NEVER EVER raped anyone, I swear!! No seriously, I’m not that BAD of a guy ya know. I earnestly never forced anyone at all, and it has often been the other way instead.
Back on topic, it’s not my fault if afterward, some of them still find their way in! I can’t pay attention to all insignificant and burdensome details, even worse when they hide among other legitimate women.
“HEY!!!” Bang!
Something hard violently hit my head and forced me to refocus my attention. As I looked into my interlocutor wondering what happened, a fork handle entered my field of vision coming from my forehead and blood dripping before my eyes.
A dazzling pain finally reached my brain and… That hurt! THAT HURT A LOT!!!!
“Aïe – OUCH – SACRE BLEU. Why would you do that!!!”
Girls nowadays, pay them no attention for even 2 good minutes while thinking about other women, and here we are, instant resort to violence, followed by a nervous breakdown.
“I’ve been speaking for 5 minutes straight and you give no responses whatsoever! I know that your situation is difficult and you’re having a hard time. I can understand that you have your mind elsewhere. ”
“I also admit that it's a bad-taste of mine to bring up this topic so quickly in the conversation, especially when we barely know each other, but that is not a reason to utterly ignore me. ”
“If you are to reject me, do so, but do it outright!”
Yup, I told you so, now she will be all flustered.
"Here again, your mind is about to go away again and drift, CAN YOU AT LEAST GIVE ME A CLEAR ANSWER!"
Again, humf…
Strengthening my concentration despite the pain and blood that was obstructing my vision, I was finally able to look at the person. Wow! I hadn't paid attention, but she was a stunning cutie.
The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
The reason behind this whole commotion was a slender girl rather small in build, even for a young adult. She had beautiful and smooth hair, long enough to reach the middle of her back, and of a dark green color.
She wore cosplay-like attire, a mix between a nurse’s, a night lady’s, and even a nun’s? outfit. It gave such a sexy vibe that you couldn’t even tell if she intended to look like one or the other, or simply a natural temptress.
A fitting short black nurse dress, with some pink here and there, mismatched tights, a pink fishnet and a white one, with a barely visible garter belt that disappears behind the nurse outfit.
On top of that, she had a scapular… that covered nothing and existed for the only purpose of adding fabric to the whole. I mean, bareback down to her but, it completely evaded the bust on the front.
If it were not for its questionable ability to partially cover the legs, this garment would’ve been a total failure.
Ultimately, a mighty staff, excessively fine and imposing, way too long for her build and that even grand priests don't show often, gave to the whole a very strange allure.
Anyway, her face keeps giving me a feeling of déja-vu, I didn’t know why tho. But let’s not dwell on it, I’m sure if it’s important I’ll remember it…somehow.
“Sorry, a significant matter was on my mind and I couldn’t focus on you. So where were we... Let me get my head straight… Ah yes, after my trial, the court and guild posted an arbitrary paid global request or so, in one fell swoop, asking adventurers to join my party to help me in my obligatory debt rep- I mean permanent quest of wealth, without any notice, even though it was useless and nobody would be willing?.”
“Yes, that’s it!” She was thrilled and stood up from bliss, leaning on the table.
“And you, a junior healer who just got out of a first rate magical school, accepted this request even before it was officially posted, thanks to your relation to one of the guild members…”
“Yes!”
“And so after receiving all of my personal data,my localization, a glimpse of all the faces I could take if I wanted to hide and every single noticeable physical distinction that can help you recognize me.”
Hey! Shouldn’t all of them be confidential information? And the last one is downright private!
"Plus, an advance payment for service rendu of 500 gold, direct teleportation to where I was last seen by guild’s great wizards. And a total access and right to a curse that was marked on me without my knowledge and consent, able to pinpoint where I am in real time with less than ten meters of error margin and 0,1s refresh rate?"
The last part’s scary and beyond overkill!! Like I would be able to flee, to where? I am condemned in every single kingdom on this continent, and wanted dead or almost-dead in every other’s. I wonder why almost-dead by the way, especially when that’s where Queendoms are…
“YES!!!!” Delighted, she got close again, so much that our faces were only inches apart. she was now half kneeling on the table.
“So what's left, I’ve not forgotten anything right?”
“YOU FORGOT MY REQUEST” BANG!
The knife joined the fork on my body and nailed my hand to the table
“ARGFfzjf!!!!”
I should take care of it sooner than later, it hurts as hell!! And I don’t think dirtying the guild was a good idea, they were capable of charging me for the cleaning, and I didn’t want my already absolutely unpayable debt to grow… AS I CARE, event 3 lifetime wouldn’t be enough anyway!!
Okay, and what was your request again? I lost track at this very moment, but I cannot remember why? Once more, just another oddity.
“Okay, okay, can you tell me it once again, I just can’t remember it at al--NO STOP, I was elsewhere and distracted, I’ll take the blame, I apologize, so please, I plead you, PLEASE!! Put down that spoon!!”
“Humph goujat! That’s already the second time you said the exact same thing you know!”
She crossed her arms ostensibly dissatisfied, not letting go of the spoon. 2nd time? Weird, I don’t have any recollection of the first, once again…
“So, for the last time listen well, because it won’t happen a third! Please I love you, would you marry me! Or go out with me? Or at least make me pregn- let me help you in your hardship?”
Okay, she got me here. This one, I didn't see it coming at all.
fa-thud!
I passed out from shock rather than blood loss, or maybe both, after all I couldn’t feel my hand and I started to see trouble cuz you know…the cutlery was well planted, deep into the bones.
Ah… Maybe I shouldn't have stopped the spoon, this could have saved my brain from the last sentence at least. I wonder where it would have ended, not like you can cut or plant with that one, can you??
As I was leaving for the other side, trying to recall something and refute my statement, a lingering feeling of pain came from one of my fingers, the one you feel after being amputated or chopped something, not that I know what it feels like, but…
Ominous feelings filled me up.
