Chapter 3: Unfortunate Escorting
— Part 4: Thanks to the Escort
In the morning, before being awakened by the merchant, Aurelius and Magnolia emerged from their tent.
They weren't naked, but they didn't want to be seen disheveled.
"Good morning. Looks like nothing came during the night."
The merchant, despite being half-awake all night, seemed cheerful. Perhaps he was the opposite—sleepy but lively.
"Shall we have breakfast?"
Aurelius set out bread and soup on the same table as last night.
With just Magnolia and him, they could afford something a bit more luxurious, but they kept it modest with the merchant present.
"Thank you, let's eat."
Still, it seemed like a luxurious meal to the merchant, who ate happily. Aurelius and Magnolia also had their breakfast.
As Aurelius packed the tent and table into storage boxes, the merchant fed hay to the horse.
Once done, the carriage immediately started moving. They were about another half hour from town.
At the merchant's request, Magnolia took the driver's seat, and Aurelius sat behind on the cargo bed.
From behind, it felt like the distance between them had closed compared to yesterday.
Aurelius wasn't amused, but he didn't say anything in particular.
After all, they would part ways once they reached town.
"Thank you very much."
Without encountering any further troubles, they arrived in the town.
"I'm truly sorry it's so little, but please accept this as a token of gratitude."
"Thank you."
Upon receiving a single gold coin, Aurelius bid farewell to the merchant.
Though it was still before noon, it was too late to set off for the next town. Moreover, due to the short sleep from the night watch, he felt sleepy.
Therefore, without pushing himself, they sought out a place to stay for the night.
However, after visiting several places, there were no double rooms available.
To be precise, there were double rooms, but they all featured two beds and were partitioned by curtains.
In this town, priests of the God of Darkness frequently visit.
However, most priests of the God of Darkness travel alone. Therefore, inns mostly offer single rooms.
If that's not enough, they partition multi-person rooms with curtains to create simple makeshift single rooms.
Thus, double rooms didn't feature one bed but rather two beds placed quite far apart.
Despite the high cost and inability to share the same bed, they reluctantly opted for curtained-off rooms.
Entering their room, Aurelius and Magnolia changed into casual attire and lay on separate beds. They reached out towards each other instinctively but found themselves too far apart.
"Still too distant."
Magnolia rose from her bed and joined Aurelius's, attempting to share.
However, the single bed was too narrow, and lying side by side felt precarious.
While embracing was feasible, they couldn't find comfort in sleep.
When they overlapped, the lower person felt heavier, and the upper exerted pressure, making rest elusive.
Tonight, it seemed they had no choice but to sleep in separate beds.
"Just for tonight."
"Just for tonight. Perhaps camping would have been preferable."
Magnolia appeared more disheartened than Aurelius.
After they took a short rest at the inn, they replenished the supplies necessary for the journey. Water, especially, was crucial for washing up and was consumed quite a bit.
Dirty water was collected, purified to remove impurities, and made reusable. Still, it decreased significantly after each use.
Therefore, they needed to restock every time they visited town.
Luckily, there were about two barrels full of drinking water, so they didn't have to worry about running out no matter how much they drank.
They had plenty of other provisions, but to avoid getting tired of the same things, they bought various vegetables, processed meats, and different types of fish.
Additionally, they bought a stew that they liked after sampling it. The shopkeeper was surprised but gladly sold them the whole pot when they paid enough money.
When night fell and they returned to their lodging, they went to the tavern for dinner.
Magnolia, a rare and beautiful female adventurer, was warmly welcomed by the other patrons.
There was some teasing and banter, but it wasn't enough to make her uncomfortable.
It was the usual amount she'd experienced before—being hailed from another table or treated to drinks.
Magnolia was invited to join them for a drink, but she declined everything, citing her existing relationship.
Aurelius was also offered a drink. Unable to refuse, he loosened up and had just one.
Even so, he still wasn't accustomed to alcohol, and he began to feel a little lightheaded as his inhibitions began to wane.
"Hello, so this is where you've been."
Another man sat down at their table.
"We're enjoying ourselves. Don't interrupt. Wait, it's you?"
Magnolia started to refuse, but stopped when she saw his face. A butterfly amulet swayed on his chest.
He was the merchant who had come with them in the carriage.
"I'm glad you remembered."
"What can I do for you?"
"No, I just wanted to come and thank you again.
Thanks to you both, I was able to deliver my goods safely.
They fetched unexpectedly high prices since it's been a while since they last traded.
I felt I had to thank you properly, so I came by."
"How did you find us?
We didn't tell you where we were staying."
"With someone as lovely as Magnolia and with a mage, anyone would remember. It was easy to find you."
"Is Magnolia too beautiful then? Well, I guess that can't be helped."
Aurelius, slightly tipsy, teased Magnolia.
"It's more unusual to see a mage like Aurelius."
"No, at first glance, you wouldn't think he's the real deal. I've been asked many times if he's genuine.
Because of that It was convenient for me to find you, so I'm grateful.
As a token of my appreciation, I thought of treating you to drinks, but it seems both of you have already had quite a bit.
In that case, how about this?"
The merchant placed a bottle of wine on the table.
"Oh, nice. Should we have some right away?"
Magnolia reached for it, ready to uncork it.
"You might want to hold off for now. I can't drink anymore, let's have it leisurely later."
"It would be rude not to drink it right away after he brought it all this way."
It seemed Magnolia still wanted to drink.
But Aurelius was thinking about something else entirely. He had been thinking about it since they entered the room, unable to get it out of his head, wanting to ask Magnolia.
However, he had decided not to say anything because he thought Magnolia wouldn't like it. Yet now, with his inhibitions loosened by alcohol…
"Shall we go back to our room and drink just the three of us?
And then, I'd like to borrow the butterfly amulet for another prayer."
Magnolia's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Aurelius.
"Are you serious?
Are you sure, Aurelius?
If it's okay with Aurelius, I don't mind."
Magnolia's flushed face wasn't just from the alcohol.
The merchant was momentarily bewildered, but quickly recalled last night, blushing as his eyes sparkled with anticipation.
"Aurelius, are you sure it's okay?
Is it okay for me to go to your room?"
"Yeah, we'll borrow the butterfly amulet for the prayer.
Our room is divided by curtains. It's better to draw them when you pray."
"Are you sure it's okay?"
"Are you sure?"
Smiling at both of them, Aurelius nodded.
When he returned to the room, he poured some of the wine given by the merchant into the three prepared cups.
Aurelius secretly used magic to evaporate the alcohol. If he drank any more, he might collapse.
"This wine is quite delicious."
Though the taste diminished after evaporating the alcohol, Aurelius lied without concern.
The other two drank the wine but remained silent.
"It'll be troublesome for you if it gets too late. Magnolia, you should go pray to the amulet."
"Ah, okay.
Y-You're right."
Magnolia glanced at the merchant, then stared at Aurelius.
"Are we going to pray in this room? There's only a curtain. Our voice might be heard. Is that alright?"
"If it's a prayer, it's fine.
Besides, I might fall asleep since I've had a drink.
So, don't worry about it."
"Okay, if you say so, Aurelius.
Go ahead and prepare for our prayers."
"Y-Yes."
The merchant stood up quickly and headed to Magnolia's bed.
He hung the amulet on the headboard and closed the curtain.
"Well, I'm going to pray now."
"Alright, go ahead.
I'm getting into bed since I'm drunk."
Magnolia brought her face closer, so Aurelius did the same, and they kissed.
After changing into her nightwear, Magnolia's chest appeared lower and fuller.
She must have removed the sarashi and put them in the storage box.
Then, she went behind the curtain.
Aurelius also changed into his loungewear and got into bed.
From now on, Magnolia would be embraced by another man behind the curtain.
Until now, it was in another room, so he had no idea what was happening.
Once, he heard sounds from outside the room, but he still couldn't understand it well.
Last night, the sounds were quite audible inside the tent. Hearing them caused Aurelius agony, jealousy, and excitement.
It was the same excitement he felt when he first saw Magnolia's face during sex. It was hard to hold back without climaxing.
Wanting to experience more of that, he asked the merchant to let Magnolia pray.
Thinking that Magnolia would be embraced just beyond the single curtain, his heartbeat quickened.
"I'll pray again."
When Magnolia arrived, the merchant, clad only in trunks, sat on the bed and stood up.
Even without magic, Aurelius could discern everything—footsteps, rustling clothes, breath, and the creaking of the bed.
"Please,"
The merchant made room, and Magnolia approached the headboard.
Then, she silently bowed her head. That was Magnolia's way of praying.
The merchant stood right behind Magnolia and embraced her.
Magnolia continued to pray without resistance. Then, the merchant slipped his hand into his collar and touched Magnolia's breast directly.
"What are you doing?"
"In the presence of the lovely Magnolia, I can't help myself."
"Do you understand what you're getting into?"
"Yes, of course. I'll do anything."
"Good, don't forget those words."
The voice of Magnolia was terrifying. It was enough to make even Aurelius want to withdraw his hand.
But the merchant paid no mind and untied Magnolia's sash.
"I won't forget such a lovely Magnolia."
The merchant spread open Magnolia's yukata collar from behind and attempted to undress her.
Magnolia remained still with her hands down.
There was a rustling sound as Magnolia's yukata was removed.
After placing the removed yukata into the storage box, Magnolia was embraced from behind by the merchant, who then grasped her breast.
"Umm, ummm—"
As Magnolia continued to be touched, it seemed as though her nipples were touched.
"Kuh, Ah—"
The merchant seemed pleased with those sounds and pinched and rolled her nipples with his fingers.
"Kuh, Haah, umm—"
"Are you feeling it? Does it feel good?"
"As if that could be true. It's definitely not."
"Really?
I found out last night that Magnolia likes it naughty.
Are you already wet and feeling it?
I'll find out."
The merchant slipped his hand under the front flap and untied the loincloth string. Knowing she would be completely naked, Magnolia offered no resistance as her loincloth was removed.
Pl—o
"Look, you're so wet."
"Uuh, UUuh—"
The merchant's fingers touch Magnolia's crotch, about to insert them into her pussy. It's clear from her voice and sounds.
"Ah, umm—
HAAAaaah"
Pl—o, pl—o, pl—o—
The finger inside her pussy starts moving. Magnolia also feels it and lets out a moan. The sound of her juices clinging to his fingers can be heard.
"If you keep doing that…"
"You don't dislike it, do you?"
"I don't dislike it, but I might end up making noise.
If that happens, he'll hear us next door."
"That would be troublesome, wouldn't it?"
Pl—o, pl—o, pl—o, pl—o, pl—o—
"Ah, HAAaa—
That's why, when you do that…"
"Is standing too difficult?
You should put your hands on the bed."
The creak of the bed indicates that Magnolia has indeed placed her hands on it from behind.
"When you're in that position, I can see it here clearly and it makes me happy."
Standing with her hands on the bed, Magnolia's pussy is fully exposed from behind.
"Are you happy seeing that? I'm certainly not."
"Is that so? I think Magnolia might also be happy."
"Ugh, Uh, HAAAaaa"
Feeling it, Magnolia's voice grows louder.
The merchant presses his face against Magnolia's crotch and continues to move his tongue inside her pussy.
Even so, Magnolia, with her hands on the bed, doesn't move, indicating she wants him to continue because it feels good.
"How is it? Aren't you happy?"
"I'm not that happy.
I don't dislike it, though."
"Then, I'll continue a bit more."
"Uh, Ah, HAAAAaaaah—
Kuuh, HAAa, there,
There, I'm feeling it,
KUHAAAaaa—"
It seems the merchant is moving his tongue at her pussy's entrance while touching her clitoris with his fingers.
Magnolia can't hold back her voice anymore, despite Aurelius being next door.
"Haa, Haa, Haa—"
It seems the merchant released his mouth and fingers, and Magnolia seemed to sit down.
"Magnolia's pussy was incredibly delicious. Next, please taste mine."
The bed creaked as the merchant sat down on it.
Just right in front of Magnolia.
"Now, you taste—"
"Please take off your trunks. Otherwise, I won't be able to taste it."
"I see, I suppose so."
The bed creaked again as the merchant lifted his buttocks, and Magnolia lowered his trunks.
And there, in front of Magnolia's eyes, was the merchant's cock, now enlarged.
"Making me position like this, what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to do it with your mouth."
Taking hold of Magnolia's head, the merchant brought the tip of his cock to his lips.
And then, with more force, he pressed Magnolia's head down.
"Ummmm—"
Despite saying something, the sound of Magnolia engulfing the cock could be heard.
Ummph, plo'k'k'k
Magnolia took the merchant's cock into her mouth all the way to the base.
"Umm, ummmmmm—
PAHAaaah—
Cough, cough—
What are you doing?
It's quite difficult."
It seems his cock had reached her throat.
While she told Aurelius that she liked it, it seems different for other men.
"If you do this again, I'll kill you."
Indeed, it seems she really didn't like it. Her words were full of menace.
"Y-Yes,"
The merchant must be scared. But it seems his cock remains large.
Plok, plok, plok—
Magnolia continues her rubbing.
"Keep your hands off my head."
Chup, mwahh—
Ummph, tsup—
Tsu', tsu'—
Tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu'—
Magnolia moved her head and began to gently caress with her lips.
"Uh, UUh—
Oh, OHh"
The merchant also let out pleasurable sounds.
"Squih"
Magnolia smiles while still holding his cock in her mouth.
Whether out of happiness or having thought of something mischievous.
Tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu'—
…,
Tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu'—
When the sound of lips ceased, she must have been moving her tongue over his cock.
Aurelius recalled the pleasure of that sensation, imagining the merchant feeling the same, which fueled his jealousy and excitement even more.
Tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu', tsu'—
Tsup, tsup, tsup, tsup, tsup, tsup—
Tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu—
Her mouth's movements became faster and more intense.
"Oh, it's incredible,
If you keep that up, I'll, I'II—"
The merchant seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself and nearing his limit.
Nevertheless, Magnolia seemed intent on not stopping.
Tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu, tsu—
Tsu-tsu-tsu-tsu-tsu-tsu-tsu-tsu
Her movements grew even more vigorous.
"Uh, if you keep going like that, I'm going to cum.
I'll release it in your mouth.
Is that okay? I'm going to release it.
Uh—
Ah, I'm going to cum, I'm going to cum,
I'm going—"
It appeared the merchant ejaculated into Magnolia's mouth.
Tsu, tsu, tsu—
Mphmugh, ngupw, mhauwh—
Chup, chup—
Guplp, guplp
The sound of Magnolia swallowing the merchant's semen could be heard.
