The [Teleportation Gem] I used connected to the beach near Port Tiga City. As soon as the scenery changed, I was imdiately greeted by a pair of soft mounds on my face.
"You've returned, boy."
Cecil's voice rang above and sounded worried. I wanted to reply to her but was unable to. My face was buried between her breasts, and she hugged tightly, pulling into her chest.
They were soft and deford when I grabbed them when I tried to escape. Would I die while being suffocated between my lover's breasts? Even if I was strong, I still needed to breathe. I needed oxygen to survive!
Fortunately, she seed to notice my struggle after I squeezed her breasts and released from her embrace.
"You almost suffocated ," I said, taking the much-needed oxygen into my system.
"Hahaha, I am sorry. I was excited and relieved after seeing your figure again." She laughed without feeling guilty at all. "But, really. I am glad you're safe."
Once again, she pulled into a hug. This ti was gentler. Due to our height difference, my face still ended between her breasts.
We hugged for a few seconds before we parted from each other. I had never thought she would be worried about .
I ant… She knew how strong I was.
When I asked about it, she looked at strangely and answered that worrying about soone she loved was normal. That made happy and improved my mood.
Then she asked about what happened after the trap suddenly teleported away. I recounted what I did and what happened without missing a detail as we walked to the city. Hearing my explanation, Cecil gritted her teeth in anger.
"I will beat Marny up. Just leave her to ."
"Don't forget to take my refund," I answered playfully, and it made the minotaur girl laugh.
"Of course. I will make sure to get double our money."
We soon arrived at Gon's Tavern once again. The sun had already risen overhead, and the rowdy sailors and rchants had already embarked to their next location.
The tavern was empty. Marny and an old man with a burly body behind the counter were the only people inside. The tavern girl was wiping the table with a clean cloth while the old man tidied the mugs and put them on the shelf.
When the wooden door creaked open, they looked in our direction at once.
"Cecil?" The old man asked with a smile on his face. "Damn girl! You finally showed yourself!"
"Yeah, pops. But let's save that for later. For now…" Cecil answered the old man and narrowed her eyes at Marny, whose body froze when she saw our appearance. "I want to beat the fuck out of this fucking girl. It seems you already know what happened from your expression, eh?"
"W- What are you talking about?" Marny tried to smile, but it was too stiff to be called one.
The old man Cecil called Pops looked at Marny with a questioning gaze, "What the heck did you do, stupid daughter?!" He roared and caused the whole building to shake.
"N- Nothing, pops! I just sold information to them!" She pointed her finger at us, trembling in fear from the old man's words.
"Ah?! You sold us the wrong information that put my lover in danger! You said the item was hidden under a compartnt, but the box is actually a teleportation trap itself! How do you explain it to , Marny?" Cecil growled with a voice filled with anger as she gripped the [Ogre Club] tightly.
"Teleportation trap?" The pops raised his brows, looking at Marny. "You told them about the box behind the fortress?! Are you a fool?!"
"But pops! That man is the Paladin!" Marny shouted back loudly. "Isn't it better if he destroys those assassins?!"
"Paladin?" The old man muttered, looking at .
I was still covered in a hood, standing a step behind Cecil's tall body. My lover looked at Marny angrily, understanding what actually happened.
It also dawned on . Since the start, the tavern girl actually never planned to sell information about Assassin's Den to . But once she realized I was the Paladin, she changed her mind and used , baiting with the 'ergency entry' to the Den, while in fact it was a trap.
'Looking at the situation in the Den and how the trap was hidden, it's probably well known by people in this area. The trap was used to target people from other areas with different revival points.'
A greedy rchant, people who love adventuring, or even a pirate. Those two kinds of people were probably the target of those assassins. Never did they expect the locals to tell the location of the trap.
Still…
I took a step forward and pulled my hood down. My face clearly showed up with a bitter expression.
"So you want to use ?" I spoke in a cold tone, patting Cecil's shoulder and gesturing to her to calm down.
My steps were light. I walked toward Marny without any expression.
It was the first ti soone played .
Yes, no one had ever tried to use since I arrived in this world. I beca too comfortable in this peaceful world and too confident with my strength, leading to let my guard down.
Alesia and I used each other, and that was from both of our agreents. I let myself be used by Queen Eve because I wanted her to take the throne and to get her trust.
Carissa tried to use , but that was to my knowledge, and I used that to play her into walking to my trap.
But this girl… She reminded too much of people in Horizon Online. She used her connection as Cecil's plan to make trust her and then used to get rid of the assassins.
I didn't know her reason nor did I care about it. What she had to do with the assassins from the Den was also not my business.
Stopping in front of her, I looked down at her with a cold gaze as my bloodlust escaped my body.
Marny fell, scared. Her body trembled in fear as she tried to crawl away with , a liquid wetting her long skirt and the floor.
"F-Forgive !" She raised her hands in surrender, shielding her face with them. "I-I-I am sorry…"
