Chapter 21: Invitation
They were clad in black armor and looked like professionals, so his ego punch immediately joined his side. Once the powerful wind swept through the first guard, the rest could hear the painful groan escaping the guard's lips, "AHHHH!" He screamed so hard that others got frozen.
As Tetsuya was not only stronger but faster, he easily punched the guard straight into his face.
While he began to set up his dominance with all stats increased, Reyas slithered through the group of people and kicked the ground. She jumped with her increased strength into the driver seat, then launched her smoking pipe. It was also lit up and seemed to possess additional fire stat!
The merchant wasn't unguarded, though. Some slaves caught up to Reyas and he himself took out a short knife. After his knife clashed with Reyas' weapon, his smile grew wider as other slaves caught up to them. Despite him falling onto the butt. the merchant saw his slaves and their bodies charging straight into Reyas, then their hands extending to immobilize Reyas and her weapon.
Nonetheless, this smile didn't last long as Reyas just shook them off.
It seems like someone has been doing a good job with quests!
"Were you… this strong? F-fuck!" As the pipe got closer, the merchant waved his hands while trying to somehow escape. He pulled his body all the way to the driver seat's end, but Reyas simply had an advantage after he fell down.
Her pipe landed on his face, then sneaked its way into his eye socket, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Reyas' barefoot also smashed his balls.
It was the beginning of hell for the merchant!

"Thank you very much. We will head to your village now." The slaves said in unison while bowing as much as they could. They were freed from the slave rune influence and decided to step on the path to be Tetsuya's villagers.
Those villagers will be busy in the future, but it was the path they decided on.
"I found no danger on the way, so just follow my guide," Tetsuya reassured the former slaves, then also passed some guidelines so that his people wouldn't mistake them. But more than anything, he just gave them quests.
"That's right, I can give you a player bar." He then flicked his finger and the name with health and mana bar appeared above their heads. This could be hidden per their wishes, but one needed to think about it.
Now, there was no way the former bandits and their women would mistake those slaves.
"Thank you… Thank you so much…" Such power and help caused the slaves to burst out with tears. It was expected, so Tetsuya just watched them all crying while wiping their tears.
His hand then went up to stroke the women while men got their shoulders patted.
After the slaves disappeared, Tetsuya resumed his small adventure.
"It was 'I don't sell my people', was it?" Reyas then reached out for him. Not only she spoke first, but her sweaty body was closer to the point where Tetsuya could sniff her fragrance without any problem.
It was mixed with sweat and rather arousing. He took a side glance at her, then laughed, "I know what's on your mind." A statement then escaped his lips.
"Tell me." Reyas probed as if challenging his words.
"It should be 'He only said it because I am going to be a moderator'. Not only do you know more, but you are also keeping other slave merchants loyal to me. An idiot would understand your feelings." Tetsuya laughed while locating a river on his minimap.
"I didn't expect anything else." Reyas then made a strong impression, but Tetsuya laughed out louder.
"Weren't you happy?" He turned his head to the side, then blew a huge smoke straight onto Reyas' face. It suddenly became hotter, so it was a nice cover! She then answered quickly.
"Your face just irritates me." Then, her eyes closed.
"And what about my back?" Tetsuya probed. "Hmm?" But as the silence continued, he just smirked and said. "I found a nice white suit in this merchant's carriage. It will be for you after you atone."
"How long?" Reyas wanted to wear normal clothes the most. This white suit was fine and she would do everything for it. It turned out that a few more nights would be enough, but Reyas couldn't believe this ego sovereign wholeheartedly.
"Now, you got all sweaty and your pipe got dirtied from that guy's blood." Tetsuya finally appeared before the river with Reyas behind. "So just wash and we will continue. In the meantime, I will check the guard's equipment." The black armor looked like a perfect fit for the tank!
Tetsuya used his powers to check its origins and get appropriate stats.
As he lost himself in his loot, Reyas took off her only cloth and slowly stepped onto the river. She took a few glances at Tetsuya to see whether he would look at her from behind, but his eyes were all on armor.
"Do you want me to go naked?" But his senses were still sharp. His question made Reyas click her tongue, then she just buried herself within the water. "Is your talk about women the disguise?" Reyas then asked after she completely hid within the water.
She splashed a lot though, so she certainly didn't plan to stay here for too long.
"A disguise?" Tetsuya asked while knowing what she had in mind yet again. He just forced her to speak about sensitive matters on her own!
"You have saved many slaves, so just one word and all of them would warm your nights." As what was on her mind took a form, Reyas reached for her pipe and began to carefully clean it.
While it was not her idea, she indeed did a similar thing to Tetsuya whose hands were checking up the black armor. Nonetheless, he was all ready for a nice talk. "They are weak women. And they are even weaker as of now. If they find a new purpose in their new life and then settle down properly in my village, then I will invite some for a game master's bed warming quest. It's an invitation that can be freely turned down, mind you. And rewards for such a quest will be worthy." Tetsuya spoke while ignoring the eroge game rune. It was flashing with decisions and paths when it came to Reyas, but he just went with his own flow like the ego sovereign he was.
But his aura and influence weren't fake, but real in her eyes.
"You would just favor them more while you are here. And then what? You expect me to look after your cute villagers?" Reyas eyes finally shifted from pipe to game master.
"Why not? If you properly take care of my people, then you will gain the most out of it, Reyas." Tetsuya faced her properly, the armor no longer in his hands. He got closer to the point where he could see her nude body in the water, then quickly snatched the pipe. Then, his hand went onto her head and he pushed her underwater with stronger force.
"This pipe is from your father." After Reyas popped out from the water, Tetsuya was already cleaning it in her place. She locked her red eyes on him, then made some wary expression.
"Yes." An answer finally rang out. "I also took his business." Reyas genuinely answered while being under the influence of Evil Charming Prince's path.
"So you were with slaves from the very beginning?" Tetsuya tried to imagine a life and how one's common sense would get destroyed by that. But Reyas or her father surprised him for once.
"No, he hid his business from me until his death."
"Some things can not be rejected in life." Tetsuya passed the pipe. "My invitation will be all up to you, though. Question yourself whether it will be a one-time invitation or not." A game master sneered, then took off his clothes. It was time for him to wash and then continue the adventure properly.
