Rustle, rustle, rustle.

In a dark room with only the dim light of a mana stone lamp remaining, the sound of a pen moving diligently can be heard.

A small, brown-haired girl sits in front of a rather large and luxurious desk, comparing various magic-related academic materials and immersing herself in magic research.

Nod…, nod…

As if overcome by drowsiness, the girl’s eyes slowly closed, then repeatedly opened wide again.

The girl’s skin was rough, as if it hadn’t been cared for in quite some time, and dark circles were drawn under her eyebrows, making it clear at a glance how bad the girl’s condition was.

“Ah, no…, I have to stay awake….”

She shook her head to try to chase away the sleep that kept pouring in, but the deeply cast shadow of slumber could not be shaken off by such simple means.

Eventually, she gave up trying to shake off the shadow of slumber and collapsed on the desk.

Then, she set an alarm spell to catch just a little sleep and closed her eyes.

‘….It wasn’t like this when it was Leon’s party.’

Marie Adele, a former magician of Leon’s party, recalled old memories buried in a corner of her mind.

As the only person in the party with magical knowledge, Marie’s influence within the hero party was very strong.

‘Marie, what does this say here?’

Leon, a hero who was foolishly weak but always acted for others rather than himself.

‘Ms. Marie. It seems there’s a trap here. Could you check if there are any other magic traps?’

Tiris, the party’s reliable tank and a knight who tried to take on the party’s bothersome tasks like an older sister.

‘Marie-nim, please assist with the recovery!… Hero Leon-nim’s wounds are too!…’

Noren, a priest who always wore a gentle smile and tried to heal the party’s wounds.

‘Marie, I got this in the dungeon. What kind of artifact is this?’

Firia, Leon’s childhood friend, who didn’t have anything special but was a diligent worker and in charge of the party’s finances.

The party consisted of five people, including herself. They couldn’t be said to be outstanding, but being with them warmed her heart.

…But now they’ve scattered.

‘Come to think of it…, I haven’t heard how everyone is doing….’

She joined Hero Roman’s party.

Tiris, Noren, and Firia joined Hero Abel’s party. But she hasn’t heard any news since then.

And Leon….

“….Leon.”

Hero Leon.

He disappeared from the exchange meeting, leaving only a note saying he was going to look for the Sword King. He hasn’t shown up at the exchange meeting since.

‘The note…, was it the right choice…?’

Only she and Hero Ragna Roman know that Leon left a note before disappearing.

The reason is simple. She was the first to find the note, and she told Ragna before informing the other parties.

In response, Ragna decided to hide the note.

“Now that things have come to this, let’s just say Leon ran away because he couldn’t bear the duty of a hero.”

Hero Roman’s plan was somewhat successful, and Leon’s reputation plummeted. But after that, all traces of Hero Leon completely disappeared. No one has seen Leon anywhere, and he hasn’t come to the exchange meeting, so he completely disappeared.

Rumors became rampant, and just when stories were circulating that Hero Leon was dead, the Holy Kingdom only said about Hero Leon, “He is not dead,” and made no further mention.

In addition, even though there were stories that Leon’s hometown, the Kingdom of Prun, had been attacked by the Demon King’s army, there was no news about Leon.

Where on earth is Leon?

“….Well…, it’s too late to think about it now.”

She tried to betray Leon.

For my own success.

Because I, the third daughter of a concubine in the family, had to complete a great hero’s party to be recognized by the family.

“….I was so sleepy, but I can’t even sleep. I should finish this quickly.”

What she is currently doing is improving magic.

Originally, ordinary magic is nothing more than a finished product that has been handed down through the long history of magicians.

Nevertheless, there are only two reasons to change it.

The first is when the fixed magic formula cannot be reflected as is due to practical problems.

The second is when the implementation of the desired form is far from what one wants, so one tries to implement it in the desired form.

Improvement is simple for simple magic, but it is very difficult for advanced attack magic.

Nevertheless, Hero Roman entrusted her with this task.

‘Since you’re the rising star of the magic tower, this should be easy, right? If you’re going to hinder the battle, please provide at least this much support. Don’t make me regret…, why I brought you along.’

Roman, looking at her with cold, sunken eyes, comes to mind.

Not the way he wanted her with a sweet voice in the pleasure of bed, in a state of mental confusion,

Extremely cold and inorganic…., at that sight of Hero Roman, she unconsciously trembled and jumped up.

Of course, there is no one in this narrow room except herself. She needlessly sweats and looks around several times, feeling like someone is watching her, and only after confirming that no one is there does she slump back into her chair.

“….Yeah. I have to work hard….”

She can’t remember the last time she rested comfortably.

But even so, she can’t stop.

To be recognized by the people in her family when she returns to the kingdom someday…, for that day.

* * *

The central continent of Philghrea.

The desert area called 『Gold Road』, which divides the central continent and the eastern continent.

This vast desert area, which is adjacent to the mountainous area called the Ten Thousand Great Mountains in the upper part, has very high defense power and vitality of the monsters that are active, so it is difficult to deal with them unless they are veteran-level mercenaries or adventurers.

Another characteristic is that this place takes the form of a city-state formed by mercenaries and adventurers gathered around oases instead of kingdoms. This was because the desert environment made it difficult for people to live there for a long period of time, so it was impossible to take on the structure of a large kingdom. Another notable feature is that a large number of labyrinths appear in this area.

Naturally, these labyrinths are very difficult to clear, and in return, the items that can be obtained from the labyrinths are quite valuable. Therefore, this place is called the Gold Road not simply because the fine sand sparkles like gold, but also because it is a place where you can make a fortune overnight.

“….Where’s Abel?”

“Hero Abel-nim has headed to Cairore.”

“….He must have gone to the casino.”

“Well, I suppose so. I think he will be away for about 2-3 days as usual.”

Suedna, one of the cities located in this Gold Road.

Hero Abel and his party are staying and working here.

The combat personnel of Hero Abel’s party is extremely biased toward Hero Abel.

Hero Abel’s party is a party in name only, and most of them are just sex partners with whom Abel satisfies his sexual desires when he wants to.

This became an opportunity for Abel to grow extremely quickly compared to other hero parties, and in reality, Hero Abel has become skilled enough to cut down the monsters here.

However, because of this, there is almost no one in the party to stop Hero Abel, so there is no way to stop Abel’s debauched life.

“….Noren.”

“Yes, Ms. Firia.”

“Is there any reason for me to be here?”

“….”

She, who was once a girl like a fresh flower, was worn out and mentally withered.

And Noren could easily guess the reason for this.

“Are you worried about Hero Leon-nim?”

“….Yeah. Without saying anything to us…, without saying anything to me, his childhood friend, he disappeared…, where on earth is he?….”

“….”

“Why…, why did you leave without saying anything?…. Leon….”

She sacrificed her virginity for the sole reason of protecting her childhood friend, and repeatedly engaged in unwanted sexual acts.

She desperately tried to distance herself from the pleasure and heat that accumulated within her, scraping away her soul.

Leon’s disappearance must have been a very big shock to her in the midst of all this.

“Noren…, I want to see Leon….”

“Is that so?….”

“Yeah…”

“…Then let’s go find him.”

If they stay here, Firia’s mind will completely collapse.

That’s why Noren carefully stroked Firia’s hair and said.

Let’s leave this place and go find Leon.

“Then first…, let’s go back to the Holy Kingdom. From there…, let’s slowly look for Leon again.”

“….Yeah.”

Although she decided to do so, Noren had this thought peeking out from one corner of her heart.

‘Do we really deserve to go meet Hero Leon-nim?….’

As a result, they did not betray Hero Leon.

Hero Leon disappeared before they even left the party.

But, did Hero Leon disappear for no reason just before the exchange meeting?….

Could it be that…,

Did he find out about our dirty secrets?

That thought slowly crept up from one corner of her heart, but she decided not to say anything to Firia.

“I, is that true?”

“I’m telling you it’s true. Don’t you trust your senior?”

“Well, it’s just that… it’s hard to believe.”

Ah, the sound of clanking.

The person who will punish me for my mistakes has come!…

“Heeheehee~♥ Woof woof! Woof woof♥♥”

“Good girl, good girl. Tiris. Have you been doing well?”

“Awooong♥”

“I, is it real?…. Is she a mentally insane criminal?”

“You’ve probably heard of this woman, right? She’s a former member of the hero party. But she’s atoning here for betraying the hero and the kingdom.”

Sin…, that’s right! I’m a sinner!…

I have to pay for my sins here quietly so I won’t be abandoned by my master!… That way my master won’t abandon me!

So please! Quickly! Quickly!!…

“Squeak♥ Squeak♥♥….”

“No, this is completely….an animal.”

“A bitch, a bitch.”

Swish swish

“Hah♥ Hah♥”

“I, is it really okay to do this?”

“Come on, I’m telling you it’s okay? This woman is practically a slave. She’s Hero Leon’s slave. And he said that we could use this bitch as we pleased until he comes back for our hard work on security. But he asked us to use her cleanly because she might be useful later.”

“Haaahhhheuuuungg♥♥♥”

Psh, pshuuuuuuuut♥

Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon, Leon.

Leon-nim, Leon-nim, Leon-nim, Leon-nim, Leon-nim, Leon-nim.

My master, my master, my master, my master, my master.

I’m here. I’m following my master’s orders and listening to my master here.

So…., so….♥….

“Heuaaaeuuuaaang…♥”

“Ugh, what… why is she like this?”

“Ah, she’s like this when she hears the hero’s name. Anyway, this woman has good grip and there’s no chance of getting a STD, so it’s good, right? Instead of spending money going around brothels, use this woman from now on.”

The guard roughly fondled her pretty blonde hair and her bulging breasts and shoved his dick into her already wet pussy. The bitch let out moans of pleasure as he fucked her, making the male happy.

The new guard who was watching the scene could not hold back his sexual desire and took off his pants and joined in on the bitch’s ravaging.

Soon, the basement was filled with the sounds of the bitch’s ecstatic moans as she pleased the males.

That moan will continue until the bitch’s master returns, until the master forgives the bitch’s sins.
