Ch 25: Trouble once again

"Here just put her carefully here."

"There you go."

Chase was helping Allyson put the last girl on the cart cover up just like the rest sitting down looking empty inside.

When down both just look at them pitying what these girls have been through in that cave.

Lucky to be alive still is a good thing. The next part will be difficult in their journey to recovery.

Allyson lets the female cart driver know that she can start moving, not heading back to the village, but to the place for healing treatment.

The two of them were staying behind having one last job to take care of, which was to bury the dead three females.

"No matter how many times I have dealt with this, it never gets any easier."

"How can it be for anyone?"

"Anway let's get started soon, the day is almost over."

Chase turned his head upward to the sky seeing the color changing to a deep orange having that half the day left.

"Yeah best to finish up."

Allyson and Chase arrived back in the village on their horse.

The people greet them back Angie Chief of this Village was among them.

"Welcome back you two, I am glad that you both are unharmed along with much gratitude for eliminating our goblin's troubles."

"It was not much trouble, I just got the best treatment needed."

"I As well young lady they will require for what they have been through. Besides that my friends, it is clear to me that a bath is needed for you 2."

Angie made a point there given that both were dirty with the way they look.

"Oh, right we did end up that way after working hard."

"Me it's just a little, you on the other hand Chase can't say the same."

"Well let us take care of that problem for you."

Angie starts to commend the males of the village for getting to work on setting up the bath for Chase and Allyson.

Well, Allyson ended up having the more royal-like manner being escorted to one of the village homes where a wooden bowl-like bathtub was filled with water.

Two or three males were there only to help with Allyson washing nothing more than just that as their roles.

Chase on the other hand was just given a bucket and a sponge filled with soap. Also new clothes along with the direction to take his bath at that river stream where they save people from this village.

"This is bullshit for me to have to clean up like this."

He wasn't too happy about how this is the way to wash up yet could do nothing.

After a time Chase was just cleaning his own body naked using that bucket to wash off the soap on him.

The new clothes given to him were placed at a spot ready when he was finished.

While collecting water from the river stream there were about a few eyes on him.

"Whoa this, man here got a nice package down there."

"I agree that you have to imagine what it would be like to feel that inside you."

"Could you two shut up for a moment about this male private and focus on what we came here to do."

Three women hide in bushes as they watch the male Chase cleaning himself.

"Hey, we are just hoping that after you get payback for what he did you know hurting him a bit. We get to have some fun when it's over."

"Of course, a thing like that is going to happen after what comes first.

"Alright, then what's the point? In staying here let's go do this now."

The three women came out of the bushes walking toward Chase as he was dropping water over his body.

"Hey, male remember me."

Being the only person at this river stream, it is not hard to see someone talking to him.

Turning his head back to look at three women, one was familiar to him, but the other two were not yet having the same built body of muscles.

"Oh, you again and you brought friends this time. I can tell this isn't you coming to be nice to me now and apologize is it."

"No, it is not me and friends are here to give some payback for what you did to me. After that we are going to have our way with you, so best to just not put up much of a fight."

"Listen, I am going to warn the 3 of you this one time, don't do this, nothing good is going to come if you attack me."

They look at each other for a moment and then laugh.

"Man you have no idea of the situation you're thinking of warning us like we're the ones in trouble."

Each of them starts to surround Chase like predators trapping their prey.

If that is how it was truly to be that way. One can look at it in another possible way which puts the three women as prey and Chase as the predator that they have yet to discover.

"Well, I did be nice in giving a heads up. Now nice no longer has a meaning here, only the bad."

"How…. We outnumber you."

"Well, that's your mistake thinking numbers had an advantage against me. Skill is more important and you 3 didn't know how to fight well."

Chase stood in front of the woman who brought her friends to attack him along with planning to use his body.

This plan backfired badly till the end as those friends of hers got knocked out and lay on the ground defeated.

"Damn it someone had to train you how to fight like that."

"Yeah you got that right, I was trained by another person who was a pain in my ass."

Chase for a second thought about annoying old men.

"I am lucky then even if we didn't get to do any harm to a male like you. Doing some harm to us is against the law."

"The law."

"That right no male is allowed to put their hands on a female and if one were to do that punishment is required for that male."

He notices a smile appear on this woman's face like someone having a calm victory in this situation.

"Won't you still be the one to be in trouble?"

"What are you saying?"

"Look at it this way, if you were to take your chief back to the village she wouldn't just accept it like that. That old woman is no doubt a reasonable person to listen to my side of the story. Which is no doubt all true to what I will tell her plus me and Allyson help with the goblin nest along with that girl I am traveling with is a soldier, so I wonder what more trouble you get from that."

Hearing this the smile was gone no more there on this woman's face and Chase was now smiling.

"Fuck you don't think in enjoying this male."

"Hey, I was just minding my business taking a nice bath all you have to do was just leave me be none of this had to happen."

"So what is going to happen now then?"

"I am going to finish up here and go report this in and let whatever happens afterward."

Chase went on to start picking up his new clothes soon to put them on.

"Wait, hold on there, no need to do that."

"Yeah and why not, I mean, I told you and your friends to leave while there was still a chance."

There was a silence that lasted about a second or two till she opened her mouth again.

"I will do whatever you want, how does that sound to you?"
