The Female Hero Party That Exiled Me, All of Them Are Mentally Broken - Chapter 23

I went to the guild counter to take on a job, and my eyes went wide in shock.

Across the cool wooden counter, Cecily was beaming as she handed me a piece of paper.

“Right away, an A-rank request has come in!”

“Already?”

Even though I’d just been promoted, things were moving way too fast.

But Cecily puffed up her cheeks and stared at me intently.

A floral scent tickled my nose.

“Alphonse-san, this is something only you can do!”

“If it’s something only I can do, then I’ll do it!”

The strong sense of duty from my time in the hero party swelled in my chest, and I nodded firmly.

But the moment I looked at the request, my knees almost gave out.

“They want me to cast the ‘Lustful Desire <Last Desire>’?”

“What is this?”

“It’s literally a request from someone who wants the skill Lustful Desire <Last Desire>!”

I stepped back, and Cecily answered with a cheerful smile.

“No, no, no! Only a very few people even know that skill exists!”

“So, what will you do?”

“Um, I can’t take this!”

Bang!

Ignoring my protest, Cecily slammed a stamp onto the request with such force that it shook my eardrums.

“Accepted! Now, now, there’s someone out there waiting for the Lustful Desire <Last Desire>.”

“Listen, Cecily-san!”

I held my head and slumped in despair.

W-well, maybe someone really needs this strange skill badly? I didn’t know.

But now that it was accepted, I couldn’t go against guild rules, and I couldn’t just ignore someone in trouble.

With a strange sense of duty, I made my way to the inn on the edge of town.

Walking down the moldy hallway, I pushed open the creaking wooden door.

On the dimly lit bed, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

A suspicious woman was blindfolded and tied up with sturdy restraints as she was twisting her body and breathing heavily.

The scene was so extreme, and the sweetness that the choking smell in the room made sweat pour from my body.

I tried to ignore it. I should just leave.

I silently turned on my heel, ready to leave the room immediately.

But.

“Eeeeeek!”

A soft hand grabbed my arm from behind and blocked my escape.

“Now, hurry up.”

A sweet voice whispered in my ear, and all I could do was scream in despair.
