The Strongest Adventurers’ Mental Caretaker ~ Somehow I Ended Up Involved with Every Beautiful Girl in the Hero’s Party ~ If You Have Time to Fight Over Me, Please Go Save the World - 13

Chapter 13: A Night with the Strongest

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

In the darkness after blowing out the lamp’s flame, we confirmed only the sensation of each other’s hot skin. In the center of the king-sized bed, I was within an inescapable dragnet formed by three beautiful women.

“…Nn…! Haa… Cain, I love you… I love you so much…っ”

The first to demand me intensely was Freya.

She wrapped her arms around my neck, applying strength as if to say she would absolutely never let me go. Her eyes were thick and clouded, and an unfathomable flame of obsession flickered within them.

“My power, my strength… From now on, I will brandish all of it for your sake alone. That is why… Praise me. Not just with words, but with both of your hands, with those lips, prove that you love me… Even if you do not belong to me alone, trick me from the bottom of your heart right now into believing that I belong to you alone…”

Heavy. It was heavy enough that under normal circumstances, I would distance myself immediately. However, right now, that weight felt strangely comforting.

“It is fine, Freya. I am not going anywhere.”

The hero who saved the world acted like a child starved for love only in front of me. I scooped up her chin and kissed her deeply as if to quench that thirst.

“…T-That is unfair, Freya! Cain, I feel the exact same way!”

Aeris raised her voice as if to tear through that sweet air. Flushing a deep red, she grabbed my arm and forcibly pulled me toward her side.

“I-I was useful too!”

“Yeah, of course. Because you protect me, I could command with peace of mind. I am relying on you.”

“What…! Y-You always say such sweet words so easily like that…! Idiot…”

When I praised her honestly, she dyed her cheeks a deep red and let her gaze swim. Her hand did not let go of my arm. Rather, she timidly rubbed her soft limbs, now stripped of their armor, against me.

“…Well, you see. I brandished my shield quite a lot in that battle, so my body is stiff. …You should take responsibility and loosen it up, right? Since your massage… is necessary…”

Contrary to her prickly words, her body was trembling faintly, eagerly awaiting my caresses. When I wrapped my hand around her waist and pressed a sensitive spot with my thumb, a cute scream escaped from Aeris’s mouth, “Hyan!”

“If you are going to touch me, say so! …B-But… It is not bad. Melt me… deeper… with your hands…”

The sight of the unyielding female knight melting away, unable to resist the pleasure, fanned my sadistic side.

Even though handling just the two of them was already all I could manage, there was a further follow-up attack from the front. It was Luminara. Remaining silent, she straddled my lap and pushed me down with her petite body.

“…Look at me, too.”

Short words. However, those green eyes shot straight into me hollowly, moist with expectation. She parted the front of her robe, laying bare her porcelain-like skin.

“…Magic energy, empty. Cain made me use it… all…”

She traced her finger along my chest, stopping above my heart.

“…Take… responsibility… My empty… body… Fill it… to the brim with you…”

A straightforward seduction that was unimaginable from her usual taciturnity. She buried her face in the crook of my neck and took a deep breath.

“…Mm. Cain’s scent… is calming. …Give this… for my magic energy…?”

Luminara’s tongue licked up my collarbone.

“Wait, three at the same time is a bit…”

“I am not letting you escape, Cain.”

Freya hovered over me as if to block my escape route.

“Do you think you can escape? From us?”

“…Indeed. Tonight, you will have to keep us company until morning.”

“…Mm. Experiment, start… …Until morning, I will not let it end.”

Limbs entangling from three directions, breaths and saliva mixing together. A right of refusal was no longer left to me. Resolving myself, I pulled their bodies close into an embrace. This was a treatment. It was the rightful compensation for the contract signed with them.

While telling myself that, I descended into an endless night of depravity with the strongest beautiful women.

◇

The next morning. When I woke up to the morning sun streaming through the window, I was assaulted by a view full of flesh tones in every direction.

Freya was sleeping on my right arm, Aeris on my left arm, and Luminara on top of my stomach. As if narrating the fierce battle of last night, the sheets were disarrayed, and the room was filled with a thick lingering scent.

“…Phew. My body is stiff all over.”

I carefully slipped out of bed so as not to wake the three of them. Looking at their sleeping faces once more, they looked peaceful, as if a possession had dropped off them.

Freya, who always kept herself tense as the party leader, was embracing the shirt I had discarded with a completely reassured face. The straight-laced Aeris had thrown out her hands and feet defenselessly, and the taciturn Luminara went so far as to spill a sweet sleep talk, “…Mm… Cain…”

(Looking at them like this, all three of them are just cute girls matching their age.)

There was no heavy responsibility of carrying a nation, nor was there the title of an S-rank adventurer. Such girls fought desperately just to be recognized by a single man like me, and were now making sleeping breaths by my side like this.

“…Honestly. Aren’t they lovable…?”

Startled by my own voice that had slipped out unconsciously, I covered my mouth.

(No, what am I saying. This is strictly a contract. I am a professional who manages their minds and bodies, and to harbor personal affection for the subjects is—)

“…Haha. This makes me a failure as a professional. It seems I have been away from the field for too long.”

I laughed self-deprecatingly and brushed up my messy bangs.

(Well, whatever. With this, their mental charge is complete.)

They would probably exhibit their strongest performance for a while again. Next was their turn to work.

(That is right. This much is fine. After all, we are just in a cooperative relationship.)

It was right when I was thinking as if to tell myself that…

Thud, thud, thud!!

The door to the room was knocked on violently.

“Members of Valkyrie! A messenger from the royal castle is here!”

“…What is it?”

I had a bad feeling. When I opened the door while rubbing my sleepy eyes, the innkeeper handed over a letter while displaying cold sweat. Stamped on the sealing wax, alongside the crest of the royal family, was the crest of the Holy Kingdom.

“What happened?”

“T-That is, according to what the messenger says, it is a top-rank emergency request from the Holy Kingdom…!”

“The Holy Kingdom?”

The Holy Faith, which the majority of the people on the continent believed in. The religious nation that served as its headquarters and possessed immense authority was the Holy Kingdom.

I received the letter and broke the sealing wax. The document, which interspersed passages of hymns, was exceedingly difficult for a commoner like me to read, but the rough content was recorded as follows:

『——A mass outbreak of undead has been confirmed in a newly discovered Great Tomb dungeon. It cannot be suppressed solely with the power of our nation’s Saint, Alena Caverna. We beg for immediate rescue from the hero parties of each nation. The reward is the ownership rights of the Artifacts sleeping within the dungeon.』

“…A Saint, huh.”

A Saint possessing a special talent who handled the Artifacts passed down in the Holy Kingdom. Lauded as pure and immaculate, rumors said she was extremely shy around strangers and loathed men as filthy creatures, or something like that. She was an existence that a person who lived in the shadows like me wouldn’t even be granted the chance to speak to.

“Well, my job is only the mental care over here. I have no intention of going so far as to keep a Saint happy.”

Folding the letter, I looked back at the naked bodies of the three women sleeping happily in the bed.

…At this time, I had no way of knowing that another naked body would be added here.
