Quest for Hikari - Episode 01

[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]

{ Starting the Quest for Hikari (with post endgame stats) }

[ Four Months Later.... ]

I, the great first-class adventurer Rance, stood in front of the desk of a bald man who lent me a picture of a red haired girl.

She seemed familiar, somewhat, though I could barely remember who she was.

"So, Keith... you said there were a few adventurers who had accepted this quest before me who had gone missing while they did the quest? Man, they're pretty useless... well at least this girl looked somewhat decent."

I spoke towards Keith Gold, who rubbed his temple before sighing.

"I had no other choice, okay? Plus, those adventurers were more inexperienced than you and we don't exactly know what happened to them while they investigated. The reward is hefty, so you should be participating." Keith replied as he tapped his fingers on desk.

"Anyway, that girl on the picture is Hikari mi Blanc, a missing student of the all girls school, Paris Academy in Leazas."

Ah, I think I remember now. The main storyline is about to start, and I've got no other choice but to accept this quest, otherwise "they" might be stolen from me, kekeke...

Anyway...

"What do you think?"

"I've got nothing else to do but have sex with my slave, train, and whatever else I do in my daily life, so I'll take the quest. And remember! Make my reward fit for me!" I said towards Keith, who only had a small grin while resting his head on his hand.

I don't have to question him grinning like some person who's been successful at something, and to be honest, Hikari is kinda cute, even though there are other women and girls who are better looking than her.

Even so, I don't like yanderes that much, so minus points for her immediately.

Still, it is time for this great adventurer, Rance to begin his real great journey! An end of a prologue means a new chapter in my life!

Umu, umu...

... Yes, that includes seducing and fucking many cute girls, women, and somehow, I wonder if I can bang goddesses too. Just, maybe I could.

There are certain exceptions, like NO LOLIS and definitely no old hags.

~} RANCE - Break! {~

In a field of hills, I stood atop one of the hills, tapping on the grassy ground to remember which shortcut I should take to get to Leazas in just a matter of hours.

Well, honestly it took a while to have Sill prepare some of our supplies, such as 150 GOLD (aka 5 percent of what GOLD I currently have), a few packs of water, and some more that might be essential for our trip. I also locked my house with magic, just to make sure.

Our investigation will last for a month or under two. I'll make it count.

"Sill! Stop loitering out there and come here, or else I'll leave you alone there!" I suddenly shouted towards my pink-haired slave who perked up in surprise.

This girl... why is she just birdwatching? Maybe she's only thinking of something very distracting and time-wasting.

"I-I'm sorry, master!" She replied as she immediately ran towards me and caught her breath when she's close enough.

Turning around with a grunt, I proceeded to take a shortcut to the town where my investigation begins. The shortcut was nothing more than a forest nearby, nothing special.

Somehow, I expected her to doubt me being in danger because the forest was dangerous, yet she kept silent while still looking afraid.

While we ventured forwards into the forest that would lead us to the town, Sill got too carried away with her thoughts and stepped on a patch of leaves that was a deep pit trap.

Before she could fall down to her death, I used magic to immediately teleport her to my arms.

"A-ah..." She stuttered as she begun to realize that she's on my arms and her soft cheeks began to redden.

After I put her down, I immediately flicked her forehead.

"You idiot! Be mindful of your surroundings next time, okay?" I sternly reprimanded her as she rubbed her forehead in pain.

"I will!"

Before we arrived in town, I fought two Ribbit MkI, one Pixie Fox, and one Ruronta, obtained one cardboard box, a Hardball, and Ibeprofun 50, and rested in two quiet shades to let Sill regain some energy.

"Hey, we made it, no sweat."

Welcome again, Leazas. Like the last time I visited it, maybe around 2 years ago, it was as busy as usual, but unlike last time, there were new buildings and this town was wider than before.

Time flies, I guess.

We entered the castle town proper, before remembering that we had something to do.

"Sill, remember what we talked about days earlier?"

"Uh... I will register to Paris Academy to try and help you investigate about Hikari mi Blanc by gathering information from the inside while you investigate her disappearance from around town... is that all, Master?" Sill replied as I pushed her forwards.

"Yeah, yeah. Now go, don't waste time." I spoke as she reluctantly moved towards the direction of Paris Academy.

Normally, I'd forget that she has all of our money with, but because I'm smart, I kept some spare GOLD with me, maybe around 50 or so.

Very well then! Because I forgot most of the details, probably some things that are important, let's start investigating!

[ ~ Chapter • End ~ ]

Author's Commentary: And here we begin the Quest for Hikari while Rance has post-endgame stats... no, it's an understatement, he's really strong and has insane amount of skill, and Magic and Sword Combat skills at Level 3 is already bullshit. He doesn't like to level up because he needs that exceedingly high EXP for certain troublesome events.

[ OMAKE ]

"Eh? I only need to answer one simple question? That's all?" OC Rance asked, looking towards the camera, or quite literally towards the readers aka you.

Q: Do you not or barely care about the pleasure of the girls/women you fuck, bar rare exceptions like the OG Rance?

"Hm! I am the great gentleman Rance! Of course I care about the pleasure one girl feels, to the point she'll remember me as the greatest ever! Though, sometimes the same girls would stalk me or something else way before I started my Quest for Hikari Mi Blanc, so it's also troublesome having to evade these mob characters..." Rance honestly answered, before frowning.

"That's all, for now? What do you mean I'll be asked several more questions later?"
