21 CH 21: Two Paths, One Destiny

[5:04, Carne Village]

"Welcome back Momonga-sama."

Both Lupusregina and Narberal said as they genuflected on me with their heads down. They are already in their adventurer's outfit. I teleported here and now arrived in the house lent to us by the chief.

I came here because the forces we posted here in the village reported on me that there seems to be two-person on horsebacks coming here. We could already hear the commotion outside.

"Umu. Raise your heads."

'Focus! This the start now!' I thought in my head. I'm trying to focus trying to remove the tinge of horniness that annoying my mind, It's kinda hard to just forget that 11 hours session.

And the thought that I never slept is kinda weird. This is the first time I did not sleep since the time I arrived in the new world, my former human side is very uncomfortable with the idea of not sleeping for 24 hours.

I am already in my armor but without the helmet on. I just don't feel like becoming a boney man for now.

'But still, after having a taste of sex. I can't think of anything now. ARG! Focus! Focus! The operation will start now!'

Lupusregina and Narberal have been staring at me who is still standing in silence as I battle with my horny side. The thing is... I have no time for a sexy time now, this operation will start any moment now and there's someone outside our door.

*cough*

"Ehem. Let's go now."

"Yes!" Both of them answered.

I faked a cough, washing off the fantasies in my monke brain. I then proceeded to open the main door of the house to see a young girl with blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears woolen clothes and her hair tied into a braid and she's holding a candle since she the It's still dark — I already sensed her earlier.

"Oh Enri, Good Morning, the sun is still not up, you're already in front of our door?"

"G-Good morning Momon-sama..."

'Hm?' Enri became flustered the moment she saw me. She didn't expect that I would appear in front of her.

" —N-Nabe-sama and Gina-sama as well.." Enri added while avoiding eye contact with me. This is a big no-no.

"E-Eh Momon-sam— Mmmm~"

I suddenly put my hands around her and pulled her close to me and deeply kiss her lips. We already talked about this right? She's already mine.

"You're already outside the door since two minutes ago? Why is that?"

After deeply kissing her for a few seconds, I let go of her lips and ask a question on the still dazed Enri. It's true that she's been outside the door since earlier.

"Eh... Aieuee. Uhm. Ah, Y-Yes! I have urgent news!"

She answered after coming back to her senses with her crimson-red face that I can see because of my [Dark Vision]. This blonde haired girl is still close to me, she seems to be bashful. 'So cute.'

Enri then proceeded to explain the situation with red-face since she's still close to me and my hand on her waist. She said that the Goblin Wolf Riders spotted two people rushing over here, the goblins followed their drill and started hiding, people will be hostile against Demi-humans.

"And I just want to check on M-Momon-sama, if you need me or anything..."

Says Enri, with the last words trailing off and only the mosquito could hear. Of course, I could hear her with my keen hearing and can't help but be happy inside.

"You look beautiful as always, Enri."

The illumination of the candle on her hand made her look like a Saint in my eyes. Well, even without the lighting, my [Dark Vision] could still see her, and she still looks as beautiful in my eyes. This precious girl, she is mine, only mine.

"T-Thank y— Mmmm~"

She's about to thank me but I sealed her lips, and start to deeply kiss her again and massage her perky breast.

'Okay, that's enough for now.' I thought to myself before letting go of Enri's lips after 10 seconds of deep kissing and fondling, it seems that my "self-control" is being beaten up by [Greed] and [Lust] now huh? I really need to meditate someday.

Were still in front of the house, but It's okay, no one can see us since most of the villagers are still at home and the goblins are hiding — except for my two companions.

"Hah. Hah. Hah."

"You like it when someone is watching you? Huh?"

"E-Eh? NooOo!"

Enri who still breathing for air blushes again and covered her face with her other free hand when she realized that Lupusregina and Narberal are just watching us behind me.

"Enri! What took you so l— Oh."

The village chief is shouting as he came to our place but then stopped as he saw us.

"It seems that I have interrupted something."

"No. Village Chief-dono, we're actually heading there now. I just gave my Enri good morning kisses."

I said to the chief, and Enri who is now hugging me tightens her hugs more as she desperately tries to hide her face from the Village Chief. her hair is tied into a braid so I can clearly see her ears turning redder as I said the words "my Enri" and "good morning kisses".

"Hahaha, It's good to be young Momon-dono. Anyway, just head to the gate, the two people are already there. One of them seems to be looking for certain Gold-ranked adventurers."

"Yes, we'll go there now."

The Village chief then left, and finally, Enri decided to relax and turned her face to me with teary-eyed.

Her brown eyes stared at mine, as she cutely pouted. 'So cuteeee.'

And then we finally decided to walk together to the entrance of the village.

As we walk towards there I asked Enri "Where's Hamsuke?" and she replied that the Giant Hamster is still sleeping which infuriate me for a bit. 'Arghh. That Hamster... I told her to guard Enri... Ha~ Nevermind, I'll punish her next time.'

Then we could already see the gate in distance, I recognized one of the people there.

'Oh, It's Lukrut.'

"Momon-san! Oh."

Lukrut, the ranger of the Sword of Darkness shouted towards the moment he sees my armor since there are several torches in the gate that serve as lighting for us. He's still mounted on the horse.

"Good Morning, Volve-san."

"This is the first time I saw your face Momon-san... You're younger than I expected."

Says Lukrut, with a face that could not believe what he sees as he examines my face.

"Hmm? So why you are here?"

"O-Oh yeah! We're one of the adventurers sent to call back the adventurers. E-Rantel is being infested with the undead as we talk, all E-Rantel Adventurers are summoned and this is also to warn the villages about the situation, but this village is fortified, this will be fine if few strays of undead came..."

'I see, so the guild knows where their adventurers at, huh?' I thought, they record quests being taken and locations and so on.

"— And we need your team Momon-san, I knew personally that your strength alone is beyond Mithril-ranked, your team's effort will surely be a help! That's all, we need to go to other places to call adventurers and warn villages."

"I see. Be safe Volve-san."

And there's that he horse away with another adventurer he's with.

"I see. So you are all heading back to E-Rantel now?"

The Village Chief emerges while Enri already had a worried look on her face. I took time to signal Lupergina and Narberal to get something, and so they left.

"It seems so, Village-chief-dono." I replied to the chief.

"E-Eh w-wait. You are now leaving Momon-sama?"

I then turned my face to Enri.

"Sorry I cannot bring you there yet, there seems to be battle now there."

"...But Undead are scary! The elders said that they are strong. Please bring the Wise King of the Forest."

"I'll be more relieved if Hamsuke stayed with you to protect you. I'm stronger than that beast, you know?"

"I know..."

Enri then hugged as he muttered that reply, I of course embrace her back. I could see the genuine worry in her face, I believe she's trying to not let her tears fall, but at the same time believes in me that I'll be okay.

"Please return safely."

"I will. I promise."

Lupusregina and Narberal came back mounted on Golem Horses, the two looked at us surprised since I guess they thought that we don't have horses and thinking along the lines of 'Where the heck this came from?' I then walked to the vacant Golem and mounted it.

'Battle of E-Rantel huh? Time to make a name for ourselves.'

.

.

.

'Damn it! If I just have set a teleportation point in E-Rantel!' She furiously screamed in her mind.

"Evileye calm down. Why do you want to get there so badly?"

"Eh... Lakyus, t-that city, I-It will become the city of the dead if we didn't arrive on time!"

"I see... But calm down first okay?" Lakyus said. Their team is already in the process of hiring flying magic casters to bring them there. The Adventurer's GuildMaster of the Royal Capital confirmed the very serious situation in E-Rantel and as Adamantite-ranked adventurer team, they need to go there.

Some forces of the Royal Faction are being mustered, but it will be slow. Why Royal Faction only? Because this event is a feast for the Noble Faction, and since E-Rantel is directly under the control of the Crown, only Royal Faction is responding to the crisis. Which infuriates Evileye since this must be taken seriously.

Evileye felt this is something similar to like what happened to certain countries in the south and she will do her best to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.

Then a Tina, one of her teammates emerges from the shadow.

"The magic casters we hired have arrived Evil boss, Tia and Gargaran are already there."
