I help Ashelin up.
While shamelessly groping Ashelin’s massive b00bs, I step out of the partitioned bathroom—only to run straight into Karen in the hallway.
“Karen? What’s up?” Since I somewhat expected this, I speak first.
“Um, I thought Big Bro might need help taking out the Sin Wolf,” Karen stammers.
Ah, she must’ve misunderstood when I said I was going to the bathroom. She probably assumed I was struggling to pull the Sin Wolf out of my personal storage. Not like the two of us could’ve carried it anyway, but her thoughtfulness is cute.
Still, the situation’s gotten awkward.
Karen, trying to help, ended up witnessing me in the middle of s9x with the receptionist, leaving her visibly flustered and confused.
I make a show of pressing myself against Ashelin, flaunting it.
“I just had s9x with Ashelin. You saw that right?”
“Yes.”
“That’s weird. Big Bro has a girlfriend, doesn’t he? If you’re not loyal to her, you’ll make her sad.”
Hmm, she’s not wrong.
“I don’t care. As long as I’m having fun.”
I casually k!ss Ashelin, and she responds by sliding her t0ngue into my m0uth.
“Big Bro!”
“You liked it too, didn’t you, Karen? Back in the forest…”
Karen’s face burns bright red.
“Nhh~~! I—I didn’t see anything. I’ll go ahead first.”
Maybe because I brought up something she’d tried hard to forget?
Overcome with embarrassment, Karen flees.
“Did I say something unnecessary?”
“Nah. Perfect timing. Ashelin, we should get back to work now, right?”
I casually slide my hand down and squeeze Ashelin’s rear.
“Don’t touch me.”
“Whoa?”
“The load you released inside me might leak out. I’m trying to hold it in…”
Well, if that’s the reason, I can’t argue.
“Then don’t let it spill until we get home. Got it?”
“Yes~”
Ashelin coolly returns to the reception desk like nothing happened.
I follow, acting like I just arrived.
“How may I help you?”
Ashelin flashes me a bewitching smile—the smile of a w0man sharing a secret.
“First, I’d like to exchange some soul stones.”
“Understood. Five medium-sized soul stones received.”
The stones contain the souls of Hob Goblins I hunted with Karen for two days in the Black Forest.
The Hob Goblin souls, far superior to Orc souls, fill the stones completely.
“High-quality souls. That’ll be 72 gold.”
Tch.
I thought I’d gathered a lot, but surpassing Isti was hopeless.
After storing the gold in my personal vault, my total comes to 178 coins.
“What’s the reward for completing the emergency request?”
The guild falls silent, even though I didn’t speak loudly.
“Did you hear that?”
“That guy completed an emergency request?”
“He took down a Sin Wolf?”
“Was it the ‘Noble Huntress’ doing?”
“No way. The requester went with him? …D*mn, he’s the real deal.”
Huh? Why’s the mood like this?
I’m baffled. Why do people care so much about others’ business?
Ashelin responds in a tense voice.
“I’ll verify. The emergency request requires eliminating the Sin Wolf. Can you provide proof?”
“Where should I take it out?”
“R-right away, I’ll prepare a space!”
After Ashelin’s report, the guildmaster rushes over.
“Congratulations on slaying the Sin Wolf! Did you do it alone…?”
“Not alone. Karen, come here!”
I gesture for Karen to join me.
“Ah, okay!” She scurries over and stands beside me.
“We did it together.”
“Wow! Could we see the Sin Wolf?”
“Sure. Should I bring it out here?”
This might get messy.
Hesitating, I watch as the guildmaster orders the receptionists to lay down a sheet and set up a low, wide table.
“If it hasn’t been butchered yet, just tell us where your cart is. We’ll handle transport.”
Guess Sin Wolf parts are pricey.
The guildmaster is practically groveling.
But is this okay? The whole guild’s operations have halted, with everyone gathering to watch in anticipation.
Completing an emergency request must be a bigger deal than I thought—like a festival to them.
I figured I’d just report it, collect the reward, and leave. This is more trouble than expected.
“I’ll bring it myself. Wait a sec.”
“Big Bro. Need help?”
“Nah, I’m good.”
I pull out the Eight-Colored Giant Clam.
“Whoa!”
The crowd gasps.
“A dimensional storage item!”
“Amazing! First time seeing one in person.”
…This feels like a magic show, even though it’s routine for me.
Carefully placing the clamshell on the floor, I focus my mind.
The warehouse where I stored the wolf corpse—found it.
Teleport.
Even now, the Sin Wolf is as big as a small bear.
Surviving a direct hit from its paw is insane…
It easily weighs over 200 kg—no way I could carry it normally. But teleporting it is possible, just like before.
Using the clams’s spatial transfer, I summon the massive wolf corpse onto the table and return.
“Gah!”
“Wha—?!”
As expected, people scramble back in shock as the giant wolf materializes.
“What the hell?!”
“Spatial magic?!”
“Incredible! He’s a real mage!”
“They actually took this thing down?!”
Once it’s clear the Sin Wolf is dead, the crowd surges forward, chattering excitedly.
The guildmaster is speechless.
“To preserve it whole…! Impressive.”
“Really?”
Well, without the clamshell, I’d have butchered it for transport. Anyone who knew its value would’ve drained its bl00d to reduce weight, but I skipped the hassle.
“I’ve called specialists. Please wait—this is a major commodity.”
The guildmaster trembles with excitement.
“Big Bro. You killed this thing?” Karen stares blankly at the wolf and speaks.
“What are you talking about? You were there too.”
She even got hit by this thing’s front paw—all to protect me.
“It all happened so fast. I didn’t expect it to be this… imposing.”
Imposing.
A fitting word. I thought it was just a slightly oversized dog. How foolish of me. If I could go back to when we first entered the forest, I’d have prepared more carefully.
The Sin Wolf was that much of a threat. Had I faced it head-on properly, I might’ve been seriously injured. But thanks to those four pests, it was dealt with easily.
Soon, the expert summoned by the guild master arrives—a bearded man in work clothes. He immediately runs his hands over the Sin Wolf’s b0dy, excited.
“Incredible! Such pristine condition…!!”
“Hello?”
The man hastily turns, removing his gloves to offer a handshake.
“I should’ve asked permission first—my apologies!”
“No worries. Please, do your best.”
“I’m Smidden, a material processor from the adventurer’s district. May I examine the Sin Wolf more closely?”
“Sure.”
The skinner circles the table, inspecting the eyes, fur, and teeth, repeatedly murmuring in awe.
“Top-tier quality. Sin Wolves are monsters that live in extreme solitude from birth, without forming packs or relying on parents.”
“That makes tracking their habitats difficult, but hunting them is even harder.”
“They’re fast, physically resilient, and cunning—dodging attacks, evading well-laid traps… a real pain to deal with.”
“Oooh!”
The onlookers claps and cheers.
…Should I be clapping along too?
“And to take down a Sin Wolf like this—without major injuries, killing it purely through shock—that’s incredible skill!”
“Just the head alone could fetch 2,100 gold!”
2,100 gold?
Did I hear that right? That’s an insane amount.
“As expected of Mr. Decal. I’ve had my eye on you for a while.”
The guild master laughs heartily, spouting nonsense.
“Killed by shock without injuries”?
That’s pure coincidence.
I just threw my strongest fireball at it, but the Sin Wolf’s hide was so tough it didn’t burn or get wounded. It must’ve died from the sheer impact while the hypnotized s1aves held it down.
Karen giggles like an idiot beside me.
“What’s so funny?”
“I was just thinking… I’m really glad I came with you, Big Bro.”
I remembered when we first met.
She only joined the emergency quest as an excuse to see me again.
What started with hypnosis turned into a proper party.
I’m happy too.
“With your skills, you could’ve formed a party anytime. Why did you go solo?” I asks quietly, my voice buried under the crowd’s chatter.
“If I wanted to become a Hero Candidate, I had to prove myself with my own strength. Otherwise, it wouldn’t mean anything.”
“That’s why I refused all party offers and grew stronger alone.”
“Honestly, I thought that way until I met you. I don’t know why my mind changed…”
Surprisingly, it seems my hypnosis has broken Karen’s stubbornness.
She grins, flashing her white teeth.
“I’m so glad! Looking back now, maybe it was because it was you, Big Bro.”
“I didn’t expect things to turn out like this, but I definitely felt something good from you!”
Her sweet, innocent interpretation of my twisted desires leaves me at a loss.
I struggle to hold back laughter.
“Big Bro… do you feel the same?”
“Huh?”
Karen grabs my hand—then suddenly lets go, looking flustered.
“Sorry. That was weird of me…”
“Hmm?”
She’s acting strangely.
Ah, she must’ve remembered Isti. Realizing I’m with Isti, she’s keeping her distance.
How adorable.
Karen takes a step back, suppressing her longing for me.
A youthful, innocent emotion—but when she was under hypnosis, begging to be my spunk-toilet, she was irresistible.
Hell, Isti would probably let me have s9x Karen if I wanted.
“Appraisal complete. If we begin processing now, the hide is worth 4,400 gold, the eyes 1,000 gold, and the teeth 800 gold.”
“Mr. Decal, may we take it for processing?” the guild master asked politely.
“Sure.”
I don’t even ask about the reward distribution.
I already have more money than I need, and I don’t care what happens to the carcass. The only thing on my mind is whether Karen would be chosen as a Hero Candidate.
“Then we’ll transport it to my workshop!”
“Ah, before that—”
I don’t care, but Karen definitely would. I can’t hand it over without confirming.
“Guild Master. The emergency quest was for selecting the next Hero Candidate, right? What’s the result?”
“My apologies for the delay. Mr. Decal and your party have earned the qualifications. However, it’s not yet finalized.”
“Not finalized?”
“I’ll explain from here.”
A cold, composed woman’s voice cut in.
The crowd parts, revealing a woman in black nun attire—with a blindfold.
Something feels off.
“Darling.”
Isti suddenly appears beside me, eyeing the nun warily. She seems to know who this mysterious woman is.
“Greetings. I am Veil Noah, an examiner from Melbrit.”
The nun introduces herself, her covered eyes somehow fixed precisely on me.
An examiner? That explained her cold, sharp aura.
“Guild Master, I’ll take over the explanation from here.”
“Of course! We’re honored to have the examiner personally handle this.”
