Chereads / My Road to the Dark King / Chapter 21 - The Journey

Chapter 21 - The Journey

Master had returned from the guild. He seemed so excited and ready for some sort of adventure. Yumi and I were told to stay here and work our cute butts off.

I know he's already seen everything, but it's still embarrassing when he points it out... not that I mind.

We weren't really working for money, just information. Two strong looking guys arrived not long after Master had left. Master had already told us to expect them, so I don't really care much about them.

Master said he was going off to clear a cave of some sort that held many strong enemies. He wants us to regularly inspect the blood we drank from him. Our strength could grow from it, as it had done once already.

I just wish he could be here when we did it... I might have to rely on Yumi.

"Hey babe! Get over here and service me!"

I looked up from where I had been zoning out, to see a group of drunken men staring at me. Eagerly.

"This ain't that kind of establishment. Miss Nera, please just refill their mugs. They touch you, don't worry about it. I'll handle those pigs."

Becka was respected, although she was kinda pretty, no one even tried to touch her or get close to her.

"Kay."

I made my way over to them, carrying a large pitcher of ale. It wasn't even heavy, but looked like it should've been.

As I got closer, I could hear whistling from around me. I know my body looks nice... who the fuck just touched me!?

I looked around, whipping to the side. A hand was moving away from me, but I was faster. One swift foot, and a loud scream later, he was on the floor screaming in agony.

"Hehe. Touching me is a bad idea."

Raising my voice, I looked around at all of them.

"If you touch me, or her..."

I pointed at Yumi, giggling in the corner. Damn dorky vampire.

"...I'll make sure you end up worse than him! We belong only to our Master! If anything happens..."

I could feel mine and Yumi's magic mingling in the air, chilling all of these nasty pigs.

"...we won't hesitate to kill you."

Damn! That snake girl is scary! I freaking love it. No wonder Master wants her to be safe! Wait... he wants me safe too! Score!

I couldn't stop giggling after Nera and I had returned to our room.

"Hahaha! S-so, can you still track him?"

I breathed deeply, my lungs on fire.

"Mhmm. You need to learn to do this too, it's so warm. His blood isn't just used for the bond or making us stronger. It's so warm and amazing! I feel like he's hugging me right now."

Cute. She's daydreaming again. Master really needs to take me too. I wanna feel what she got! Hehe... oh oops. Now I'm horny.

---

I had to leave quickly, telling the girls all that I could before I headed out. I had three other members waiting for me at the exit.

We would be travelling east, towards the border of the Rasswell and Longrain Kingdoms. Further north is the border to the Shent Kingdom. The cave was somewhere out that way, at least to my knowledge.

I still couldn't quite piece together why I was asked to come along. I'm sure as hell not trustworthy enough to them, whether I'd do anything bad or not.

Sigh... I just don't get it. I'll figure it out later.

"Ah. Here comes the little hero!"

I could already see my three companions for the trip. Eliot, our tanker with a massive shield and a body built for the same purpose. Lala, our healer, a dainty thing with massive... eyes? Those glasses have a huge magnification. The last was someone with no name given. She was similar to me in regards to our weapon and body style, though... I should not be staring at her rather massive assets.

I think she noticed... already glaring at me. Shit.
