Chapter 26 - Night (R-18)

"Watch out, Mollorie!" Nicole shouted as a kobold lunged at her from behind.

It had taken them several hours to finally spot the kobolds in the forest; for a while, the party even considered that another group might have already completed the quest. But now, they were engaged in a battle against a small pack of kobolds, reptilian creatures with a strange mix of human and lizard traits.

Their upper bodies were covered in scales, with heads resembling a mix of crocodile and snake. Instead of normal human hands, they had thick, sharp claws, and a muscular tail extended from their backs, giving them a menacing look.

There were seven kobolds in total. Reltih was holding his ground against three alone, while the others dealt with the remaining ones.

Malenia stood to the side, observing the fight closely and learning from it. She knew she would eventually have to fight someday, so she took the opportunity to watch and learn.

Previously, Malenia had considered breeding with kobolds to create more minions, but after seeing their reptilian faces, she quickly dismissed the idea.

Even on Earth, she'd always disliked lizards and crocodiles, so there was no way she would breed with them—even if kobold pregnancies only lasted a few weeks.

However, she did consider enslaving them and having them breed among themselves, which would allow her to grow her minion army without much personal involvement.

Malenia just watched them fight from the sidelines, and soon the Goblin Slayer party killed off all the kobolds. They were an experienced group of adventurers, so they knew they would easily defeat them.

All adventurers have experience and know when to fight or avoid.

"Congratulations! Also, thanks. I didn't do anything, and yet you're still willing to divide the rewards with me," Malenia thanked them.

"No worries, you're a newbie, so it's our duty to help you out," Reltih said with a smile.

Then he looked up at the sky, frowning. "It's almost night, guys; we should set up our camp here. Going back while it's night in the forest will be dangerous."

He explained, then looked at all the members and asked if everyone agreed.

"Yeah, I think it would be wise to set up a camp here," Diaton agreed, and following him, the other members nodded too.

Malenia nodded as well; her knowledge of the wilderness was nonexistent, so she couldn't disagree for any good reason.

She considered this might be their plan to do something bad, but their reason for not going back did sound reasonable.

With everyone's confirmation, Reltih took out a tent from his backpack, handing it to Nicole as the male members started setting the tent up.

While they were setting up the tent, Mollorie gathered some wood and used a fire spell to ignite it.

"Oh, you can use magic?" Malenia asked, sitting beside her as Mollorie set up the campfire.

"It's nothing; I'm just a rank E mage and only able to use low-level spells," Mollorie shrugged off.

"Still, that's impressive. I have never seen someone using fire magic until now," Malenia said.

Mollorie just smiled and continued her work.

Then she took out food from her backpack, putting it close to the fire to heat it up.

After some time, the tent was ready, and everyone sat together at the campfire, eating their food while making small talk.

Finishing their dinner, they went inside the tent. There were two tents—one for the female members and the other for the male members.

Malenia and Mollorie lay down on the thin sheet, preparing to sleep.

But because of how thin the sheet was beneath her, Malenia couldn't sleep.

There was also a part of her alert to their possible bad intentions, making it hard for her to sleep.

She glanced to her side, noticing that Mollorie had already drifted off to sleep. 'Maybe they're used to this kind of thing, able to sleep on rough ground without much trouble,' Malenia thought.

She began counting from one to a hundred, hoping the simple trick would lull her to sleep.

Finally, after what felt like hours of restless thoughts, she drifted off to the dreamlands...

"Spread your legs."

A voice sounded in Malenia's ears as she slowly opened her eyes, looking at the scene in front of her in confusion.

Reltih, Dianton, and Nicole were standing in front of her.

"Wha—What is this!?" Malenia asked, looking around and finding her hands tied to the sides. Nor could she find Mollorie anywhere.

"Shut up! Nicole, go and rip her clothes off," Reltih ordered.

Nicole complied as he moved forward, reaching his hands toward Malenia's body.

'So they finally showed their true colors?' Malenia thought. As Nicole's hand brushed against her clothes, he started to pull them off.

Malenia didn't panic and thought of her new skills, deciding to use the Entrapment skill to bind them.

But something unexpected happened—actually, nothing happened as Malenia tried to use her skill.

No tendrils came out as they had when Malenia used it for the first time as a test.

She panicked as Nicole took off her attire, leaving her in the original clothes—a micro bikini she had bought off the system long ago.

She panicked this time, trying to use other skills, but none worked. "What have you done to me!?" Malenia asked, but they didn't respond.

Instead, Reltih and Diaton also came forward. Now, all three of them started to touch Malenia's body. They even took off the last piece of clothing.

Leaving her body naked in front of their hungry eyes.

Without saying a word, Reltih and the others started fondling Malenia's breasts, scooping them in their hands as they pinched her nipples, pulling them outward.

"Ahhngh!! What is happening!? Why is my body so hot!? Did the effect of the sexual manipulation skill run out!?" Malenia exclaimed.

She was feeling extremely hot; her nipples were fully erect, and her pussy was dripping wet.

Feeling six hands roughly groping her body was too stimulating; her pussy kept releasing more and more juices as Reltih, Nicole, and Diaton continued using their hands to grope her boobs and ass.

They even touched her pussy and teased her clitoris.

"Ahhngh!! Fuck! Why are none of my skills working!!" Malenia closed her eyes and cursed, wondering what kind of nightmare this was.

Suddenly, all hands and groping stopped. Curiously, Malenia opened her eyes, seeing them undressing, expecting the inevitable.

'Fuck it! It's not like I haven't had sex with dozens of men already; anyway, three more won't hurt,' Malenia thought as she was beyond horny right now, unable to think clearly.
