Chapter 129: IF Side Story – Cecil’s Hero Party

Chapter 129: IF Side Story – Cecil’s Hero Party

It was the era of the Demon King.

The world was in chaos, and it needed a hero to quell this chaos!

Therefore, the church found a large number of talented humans and conducted tests.

Out of hundreds of people, only four were chosen.

The hero party blessed by the goddess.

Their story begins…

****

“Hero-nim. You’ve got your eyes on another woman again, haven’t you?”

“What nonsense is this again…?”

“Leave her. It’s not the first or second time that crazy bitch has thrown a fit.”

Cecil stared at Scarlett, who was burning with jealousy, with a slightly bewildered expression.

Oli sighed, seeing the scene.

She flew slowly and sat on the shoulder of Lucy, who was munching on meat.

A blazing campfire shone in front of the party members.

Meat was skewered, and a stew pot was bubbling, emitting a fragrant aroma.

“Crazy bitch? I’m asserting my rightful claim!”

“Claim my ass, you crazy bitch! We just passed an orc village full of females, how can you not curse?!”

“Hero-nim!!”

Scarlett, as if fleeing from Oli’s crude curses, clung to Cecil.

Cecil smiled wryly and stroked her head.

“Haha… Don’t be too harsh, Oli.”

“No, you can still laugh looking at that spectacle?”

“If I don’t laugh, she’ll get sulky, what can I do…”

“Ah, damn…”

Oli sighed, muttering a curse.

She recalled what happened when Scarlett got sulky before.

She became completely pouty and fought half-heartedly.

At night, she would crawl into Cecil’s bed every day and whine for kisses.

She wouldn’t even talk to other party members.

She didn’t know if this was obsession, but everyone complained of headaches when she got sulky.

“Hehe… Naughty fairy. Look. Hero-nim likes me the most.”

“Go to hell, you bitch. I wouldn’t even take your hero if you gave her to me.”

“Hero-niim!!”

As Oli cursed again, Scarlett shouted loudly and hugged Cecil tightly.

Then Cecil pouted.

She mouthed ‘Please…’ and desperately tried to placate Scarlett.

“Oli, please go easy on her a little.”

Then Lucy, smiling faintly, placated Oli.

Oli pouted and then sat gently on Lucy’s shoulder.

She carefully leaned her body against Lucy’s cheek, seeming a bit sulky herself.

“Aigoo… I don’t know how long I have to watch that bitch’s antics.”

“We’re in the same party, though. We can’t help it.”

“Hey… Don’t you have any pride? With your rival making such a scene?”

“S-She’ll hear you… Shhh…”

At the words ‘rival,’ Lucy startled and lowered her voice.

Fortunately, Scarlett was too busy kissing Cecil to hear this conversation,

But Lucy inwardly wished Oli would be more careful with her words.

“Aigoo… I’m dying of frustration. A dragon race, and so lacking in confidence.”

“You two are already dating… If I get between you, it’ll be like cheating.”

“So what? Does an obstacle obscure the goal?”

“What a metaphor… Forget it. Have this.”

Lucy sighed faintly and popped a piece of meat into Oli’s mouth.

Oli chewed the piece of meat and swallowed it deliciously.

“Delicious. Who cooked it?”

“Scarlett.”

“Bleh… Suddenly it tastes bad.”

“Don’t be like that. Scarlett is in charge of all the household chores for our party, isn’t she?”

“Tsk… If only I were bigger…”

“I don’t think you would have done it even if you were.”

“Be quiet. There’s nothing more dangerous than jumping to conclusions?”

“Of course.”

Oli chuckled at Lucy’s somewhat cold reaction.

“Hero-nim…”

“S-Scarlett. Just a moment… Don’t do this outside…”

“Why…? It’s nice because it’s refreshing…”

Even then, the two were embracing each other and showing off their affection.

Scarlett was even stealing Cecil’s lips and kissing her deeply.

Cecil’s face turned completely red, and she let out a faint moan.

Scarlett’s eyes, holding Cecil’s back, glistened with lust.

“Hey! You horny bitches! I told you not to do that dirty stuff outside!!”

It was always the same pattern if you just looked away for a moment.

Cecil, separating her lips from Scarlett’s, gave an apologetic smile.

A lustrous silver thread connected their red lips.

“Pah… I’m sorry, everyone. I’ll… be careful next time.”

“I-it’s okay, Hero-nim. Don’t worry about it.”

Lucy, watching the scene, averted her gaze slightly.

She knew they were a couple,

But as someone with feelings for Cecil, she didn’t particularly like seeing such things.

She just gazed up at the starry sky.

“See, you curse-monger. Lucy says it’s okay.”

“I’m not okay. We came to defeat the Demon King, not to have sex.”

“Now, now… Calm down, Oli. Scarlett, come here for a moment. We’re going to start a fight at this rate.”

Sensing the situation was heating up strangely, Cecil took Scarlett and moved away.

Oli sighed deeply as the two disappeared from sight.

Oli sat on Lucy’s shoulder again and began to lament various things.

Meanwhile, Cecil, who had moved deeper into the forest with Scarlett,

Smiled wryly and spoke.

“Scarlett. Don’t be like that. Oli has a point, it’s understandable for her to get angry seeing us like this every day…”

“I still like Hero-nim… Don’t worry too much. Oli is probably just getting sensitive because we’re getting closer to the Demon King’s castle.”

“That might be true, but…”

Cecil quickly agreed with Scarlett’s affectionate tone.

It wasn’t wrong.

It had been about half a year since they left for the Demon King’s castle with the party members.

A lot had happened during that time.

They had entrusted their lives to each other, shared their inner thoughts, and finally arrived at the forest right in front of the Demon King’s castle.

Scarlett, a skilled mage.

Cecil, a sword genius who wielded the Holy Sword.

Oli, who could use the healing of nature.

And Lucy, of noble dragon lineage.

It was thanks to these four that they could overcome this chaotic situation.

“I’ll go and placate Oli and Lucy later. So don’t worry too much.”

“Thank you, Scarlett. I’m always grateful.”

“Ehehe… You’re welcome. By the way, Hero-nim…”

Cecil, patting Scarlett’s shoulder, tilted her head and asked why.

She silently caressed Cecil’s neck.

Then she pressed her lips to Cecil’s pale neck,

And kissed her fiercely, leaving a clear hickey.

“N-now, Scarlett…”

“Why…? We haven’t had much time alone lately. I thought this was an opportunity.”

“No. Even so, something like this- Ugh..!”

Cecil tried to push Scarlett away,

But Scarlett held Cecil’s body tightly with all her might and kissed her fiercely.

“Hic… Ugh…”

Cecil gasped for breath, letting out a faint moan.

Kuung-

Stumbling backward from the force of the kiss, she hit her back against a tree.

At the same time, leaves fluttered down, and twigs fell to the ground,

But Scarlett didn’t even notice and fiercely devoured Cecil’s lips.

“Puhaha… Haa… Scarlett… Let’s go back to the campsite… please…?”

“Hero-nim, you’ve been holding back too… You haven’t been doing much lately, and I’m going crazy too…”

Do you know how distracting it is when you fight in those tight clothes? Scarlett added.

Scarlett pressed Cecil against the tree and quickly pulled off her tight leather pants.

At the same time, a slightly moist vulva was revealed.

Smooth and glistening.

Squish-

As she slid her finger along the fissure, sticky fluid oozed out.

Cecil clamped her mouth shut and trembled violently.

She too had not had sex for a long time.

She had accumulated so much that she was bound to be sensitive to such stimulation.

“If you dislike it that much, I’ll just suck a little. Since we’re doing strenuous physical activity… don’t we need to release some tension?”

“..Just a little…”

“Hehe… Of course.”

Cecil, her face bright red, reluctantly nodded.

Then, as if she had been waiting, Scarlett brought her tongue to the fissure.

The soft fissure twitched, and her lips moved towards the erect clit.

Scarlett nibbled the clit with her lips and inserted her tongue into the inner part.

“Hee, ooh… Hit…”

Cecil’s stomach contracted sharply at the chilling sensation of her tongue entering deep inside.

Squish, Squish-

Scarlett, holding Cecil’s slender waist tightly, began to swirl her tongue in earnest.

She moved her tongue up and down as deeply as possible, pressing on the sensitive spot.

Then, she applied pressure as if sucking out her vulva, slurping.

Soon, a lewd taste spread.

“There, there. Down… a little more…”

Cecil trembled and exhaled ragged breaths.

Scarlett was right. She had been holding back for a long time.

Her hot tongue scraped against the vaginal folds.

Every time it touched a pleasurable spot, her vagina tightened.

She felt the sensation of her tongue playing with her, lightly grasping her red, soft hair.

How long had she been stirring inside her vagina like that?

“Scarlett, j-just a little… more… intensely… Higgg…”

Cecil’s vagina began to tremble.

The pressure at the entrance intensified, and her stomach caved in.

It seemed she was about to reach climax.

Scarlett sucked her vulva even harder, as she wished.

“Com… ing… Co… ming…”

As it seemed she was about to climax, Scarlett pressed the clit with her teeth at the right moment.

Sploosh-

Then, as if a switch had been flipped, a fountain erupted.

“Heek… Heck… Heeeek…”

As soon as she climaxed, Cecil’s body slumped forward, as if her strength had left her.

Scarlett caught her body and looked at her face, melting with pleasure.

She was always so cool and steadfast,

But in bed, Cecil’s face turned into that of a completely foolish idiot.

She loved this side of the hero.

“How was it? Satisfied?”

“Heee… Good…”

Her pronunciation was slightly slurred, as if she was still experiencing the aftereffects of her climax.

However, Scarlett had no intention of ending this secret rendezvous here.

Squish, Squish-

“S-Scarlett… Just a moment…”

Her fingers entered the softened fissure and rummaged around inside her vagina.

At the same time, Cecil clung to Scarlett, pleading.

“The night… is still long…”

To Cecil like that,

Scarlett smiled faintly and whispered softly.

****

“…Aigoo, you guys are something else.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Cecil feigned ignorance to Oli’s crude curses, which had started since morning.

Her hair and clothes were disheveled.

And a clear hickey remained on her neck.

Even though pretending not to know wouldn’t hide it.

“That’s enough. What’s the point of talking to you… Let’s eat breakfast and pack. We have a long way to go.”

Oli seemed to have given up too.

They quickly ate breakfast and headed towards the Demon King’s castle.

The time for the final battle was near.

Passing through the forest path, as quiet as the eve of a storm, they arrived in front of the Demon King’s castle’s main gate.

“Let’s go, Scarlett. Prepare buff magic. Oli, prepare healing magic. Lucy, let’s break through the demons at the front with me.”

“Yes, Hero-nim.”

Lucy, with a slightly nervous expression, nodded.

On the other hand, Cecil and Scarlett showed no signs of nervousness.

As if strolling through a village alley.

With a calm and composed demeanor, they kicked open the Demon King’s castle gate.

Kwaang!

“Alright, let’s go in!”

Cecil was the first to charge.

Fit-

After piercing through the crowd of demons, who were flustered by the sudden appearance of a small human,

Instantly, all those demons were split in half.

Even large monsters like orcs and ogres were included.

There were no exceptions.

“W-wow…”

Lucy exclaimed in admiration, watching this.

While the Holy Sword’s performance was excellent, it was supported by immense strength and skill.

However, Cecil remained unfazed.

“A-a human! Report to the Demon King!”

“Commander, quickly-“

“Not so fast.”

She cleanly bisected the demons who were frantically running upstairs in their confusion.

Tuduk-

The demon’s body, cut off in an instant, fell down the stairs.

The other team members didn’t even have a chance to act.

The demons, realizing the anomaly belatedly, drew their weapons and charged at Cecil,

Hwaaaah-

But they were soon engulfed in flames by Scarlett, who had finished casting.

Slaughtering demons and monsters, they rushed at high speed to the upper floors of the castle.

“H-Hyaaaaaak! Save me!!”

“What are the commanders doing?!”

“They have a hangover!”

“Ah, damn it, stop drinking so much!!”

Sik, seogeok-

They cleanly cut down everything that blocked their path.

The Holy Sword was covered in blood, but the blood was immediately absorbed into the Holy Sword.

The Holy Sword that grew by consuming demon blood.

Chris.

“Chris. How does it taste?”

“It’s absolutely wonderful! Ah… I’ve always wanted this. Not the dregs of stinky monsters, but the sweet blood of demons!!”

“Yes, yes. I’ll let you eat more delicious things in the future.”

Cecil smiled faintly at Chris’s words and lowered her body slightly.

A powerful magical energy was felt from the floor above.

Was it the Demon King’s room soon?

Thinking so, Cecil tensed her legs and charged at the tightly closed door.

“H-Hero-nim! If you charge there-“

Lucy, who had finally caught up due to her excessive speed, shouted,

But Cecil, completely ignoring her, reached back with her unarmed hand.

And then, she threw a punch with all her might.

Jjeoeok!

The door, which had received the acceleration and immense strength, was beautifully shattered.

Dust and steel fragments scattered on the ground, making a loud noise.

“That… that’s made of Adamantium…”

Lucy, standing still in disbelief, muttered softly.

Is that the hero’s brute strength?

Her power was immeasurable.

“Haaam… Is it lunchtime already? Damn it… I told them not to break the door. Anyway, even with Adamantium coating, they break everything-“

And then, a deep, muffled voice was heard.

The Demon King had a more sluggish aura than a typical Demon King, more like an old man woken from a nap.

In fact, the Demon King was not sitting on his throne.

He was lying comfortably on the nearby bed.

“Pause for a moment.”

Even in such a pathetic state, Cecil did not let her guard down.

“Ha… You bastards. But you know you did wrong, right? You know how to hold back… Instead, I’m freezing your salaries for this month.”

For some reason, the Demon King failed to grasp the situation at all.

He stood up with a cracking sound,

And ran his hand through his disheveled hair.

“Ai, damn… Don’t come to the Demon King’s room in the morning. It ruins my image… Do you know how it feels to have to fix your hair every time you meet someone-“

And then, the Demon King finally noticed Cecil’s party.

Euston · de · Elbert · Parmasian’s expression hardened instantly.

He seemed quite flustered.

His eyes widened, he scratched the back of his head,

And then slowly opened his mouth, Euston.

“I didn’t… order this.”

Although the atmosphere felt a bit strange,

Cecil, truly calm and bold, scowled.

“Euston · de · Elbert · Parmasian. You have threatened the peace of the kingdom and instilled fear in the people, so… I, the King’s sword, have come to judge you.”

“Oh, fuck… She memorized all of that?”

“Hero-nim is a professional. You wouldn’t know, you naughty fairy.”

“You’re dead, you bitch.”

“Oli… Be quiet… We’re in front of the Demon King…!”

But, sadly, her teammates did not help set the mood.

The Demon King also had a strangely foolish atmosphere.

Cecil paused for a moment in thought.

‘Why does the Demon King look so dull?’

It was very different from what she had heard.

His beard was unshaven, and his eyes were strangely hazy.

And, crucially, that flabby belly.

Cecil fell into a state of extreme confusion.

That was definitely not a body that could fight.

She had a very strong feeling about that.

****

“…So, the previous Demon King was killed by your wife?”

“That’s what I’m saying… In the first place, it’s been over two months since the kingdom sent a peace treaty along with a vast amount of wealth. Didn’t they say anything there?”

“Uh… They said the Demon King had become more violent, so they should cut off his head as soon as possible…”

“Ha… You bastards. They took the money.”

Euston, sighing deeply, uttered a very clear answer.

Scarlett stayed close to Cecil, looking composed.

Oli and Lucy had very awkward expressions.

“That’s why I said not to trust humans… At that time, my darling killed all the pro-Demon King factions. Now, I just live quietly in the Demon King’s castle, cultivating my fields…”

Euston’s gaze turned to the door Cecil had broken earlier.

Then Cecil was overcome with extreme awkwardness.

She fiddled with her hands, trying to avoid his gaze.

At first, she thought the Demon King was playing a trick and tried to behead him,

But fortunately, Lucy stopped her, saying, ‘Let’s hear the story first.’

As a result of talking with Lucy, an inhuman being, at the forefront,

After confirming everything, it was concluded that the Demon King was truly innocent.

“Uh… I’m sorry. I don’t know how to apologize for this…”

“Aigoo… The broken door is a bit painful, but what can we do? Aren’t you also public officials? As people who live off the state, I understand.”

His unusually benevolent reaction made her feel even more guilty.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, the demons and monsters Cecil had killed earlier had all come back to life.

The Demon King’s wife had placed magic in the castle in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

She was the deceased former Demon King’s own daughter.

“…But then, what do we do now? We have to return to the kingdom with the Demon King’s horns.”

Amidst the solemn atmosphere.

Oli, who had been quiet, suddenly spoke.

The Demon King, who had been spacing out at his words,

Ttuk-

Suddenly accelerated and broke off his own horns that protruded from his head, handing them to Cecil.

“Kyaaaaaaak!!”

Then Cecil screamed in surprise.

However, Euston’s expression was very calm.

“Ouch, my ears… Why are you screaming like that?”

“H-horns! Your horns are broken!!”

“Yes? What horns?”

“Demons… if their horns break, they lose their strength…”

“Ah… That’s a fabrication created by the kingdom. Good heavens, we shed our horns, so does it make sense that our strength is drained when our horns break? Does your hair fall out and drain your strength when you cut it?”

“No, that…”

It felt like seeing two dirty sides of the kingdom in an instant.

Cecil received the horns handed by Euston with a very blank expression.

“Hoo… Is this enough? I tore it off on purpose to make it realistic. Now go. And I hope I never see your faces again…”

“Oh, yes… Sorry to bother you this morning…”

Cecil naturally accepted the horns and stood up.

The other party members had the same reaction as Cecil.

They left the Demon King’s castle in a daze, walked through the forest, and after about two days of walking, they arrived at a nearby village.

The four of them gathered in the room after finishing their meal and shower.

Cecil was holding the Demon King’s horns blankly.

“…I’m quitting being a hero.”

And then, Cecil made a sudden bombshell declaration.

But no one objected to Cecil’s words.

Everyone nodded with expressions of post-nut clarity.

“I’ll quit too…”

“Me too.”

“Me too. The King is a bastard. I felt something was off when he was losing his hair.”

Although no words had been spoken before, they unanimously agreed to ‘disband the hero party.’

Thus, Cecil arrived at the kingdom after another week of walking.

After showing the King the Demon King’s horns, they received a substantial reward.

The King was truly delighted and asked them to defeat the ‘next’ Demon King,

But Cecil threw down the Holy Sword, saying ‘I’m quitting being a hero,’ and ran out of the castle.

After that, no one ever saw the hero party again.

****

“…We said we’d never see each other again a month ago?”

The Demon King, encountering Cecil’s party, sighed deeply.

“So what? I quit being a hero.”

“No, that’s not the issue…”

“We have a lot of money. Can’t we just buy our way in?”

“How much money do you have? Do you think demons are fools? Humans, who live at most 100 years, don’t have that much money-“

“One million gold. By the way, I have nine million more.”

“Which room would you like? Wouldn’t a sunny room be nice?”

“See? You heard that. Let’s each pick a room.”

Although the hero party looked bewildered by Cecil’s outrageous deal,

They soon giggled and headed upstairs to choose their preferred rooms.

Thus, the hero party, which had disappeared like a comet, eventually returned to the Demon King’s castle, their ultimate destination.

Of course, not all demons welcomed them,

But after experiencing Oli’s unique sharp wit and a large amount of gold, the hero party became an inseparable family.

From hated enemies to a loving family.

The hero party’s story thus came to an end.

A few months later, Cecil and Scarlett were forced to sleep in separate rooms due to the moans heard every night.

They lived happily ever after, eating well and living well.
