137. Harem

We gathered on the first floor only after it was past lunch time for everyone in the group.

“Ugh….”

“Sia, I told you to drink moderately.”

“Huh….”

Not only Sia, but everyone else was in a terrible state.

Just then, Uncle Frank came into the kitchen carrying seven glasses on a tray.

Tamar-!

“6 glasses of honey water and one drink.”

“Thank you.”

Uncle Frank waved his hand in response to my thanks and coolly went into the kitchen.

“Ugh… I think I’ll buy it.”

I said that I sweat a lot after having sex with Tanya all night and that my hangover was less severe, and I saw other people’s expressions lighten when they drank sweet honey water.

“Is Ms. Mi-on at work?”

“Ah… I saw the receptionist leave in the morning.”

“Oh, you slept with Lauren?”

“Yeah.”

That’s fortunate.

“Let’s eat first, then settle the remaining distribution except for Mr. Hawk, and then rest.”

Mr. Hawk went back right after finishing his meal.

He left a message saying that he would come to see us one more time before leaving the city.

After having lunch and curing our hangovers, we gathered in Sia’s room to distribute the settlement money.

“First, give 50% to Hawk and the remaining money is 34 silver and 45 bronze.”

Even though I gave half, my attention was drawn to the fact that the profit was greater than expected.

“Our party’s basic rule is to give half to the party fund and distribute the rest, so let’s exclude 17 silver and 20 bronze.”

Charurk-

I took one side of the coins that I had calculated in advance.

“And if 6 people divide it-”

“Hey, Cain.”

“Huh?”

The moment I was about to say the rest of the amount, Tanya raised her hand and looked at me.

“Sister, what’s wrong?”

“That’s…. We don’t mind paying less in dividends.”

“That’s right…”

Roy timidly interrupts Tanya from the side.

“What does that mean?”

“That’s literally it… To be honest, Roy and I barely did anything, and we just went in to fill up the numbers, right? I know that people who go in like that at makeshift parties usually don’t get much of a share or money.”

“We didn’t really do anything there….”

It’s true that the two of them did little other than do some work like collecting byproducts or setting up a simple base camp.

“That’s certainly true, but the fact that we explored together is important.”

Roy and Tanya tilted their heads at my words, but I continued speaking.

“If the two people had not contributed anything to the exploration process in the first place, there would have been no increase in status.”

“Ah….”

“If the status went up, it means that the two of you contributed at least something in the exploration. When we were mentoring, only Tana’s status went up, remember?”

“…!”

In the first exploration we went on together, Robin died and Roy’s status didn’t go up.

However, Tanya’s status increased.

“At that time, when my arm was injured, Tanya brought me potions to heal me, and she also helped me collect goblin magic stones.”

Roy and Tanya nodded at my words and recalled that time.

“So we’re going to split it equally, thinking that both people have contributed to the minimum exploration.”

“Um…Thank you.”

“Thank you Cain.”

“What, when we fought and I collapsed, you carried me to the tent so I didn’t have to sleep on the cold floor. ”

“Hahaha.”

The mood eased and the distribution was settled again.

“From 17 silver and 25 bronze, 3 bronze is leftover and if 6 people divide it, it becomes 2 silver and 87 bronze. Claude’s is 28 bronze and put into the public fund.”

“Huh? Hey Cain! Why can’t Claude get 28 bronze?”

“Over there…Over there!!”

Tanya already knew about Claude’s situation because I told her about it, but it seemed like she asked about it deliberately because of my order to keep our distance.

Claude’s bewildered expression at Tanya’s question and Sia and Lauren’s nods as if they had come to terms with what was coming.

“Ah, that’s actually….”

“Hey! Cain. Wait…wait!!”

When I briefly told him about Claude’s stupid actions, Tanya’s expression turned a little cold and Roy’s expression looked regretful.

Oh, I guess Roy isn’t the type of guy who would hang out with Tanya like that.

In addition, the atmosphere in the room became a little colder as Sia added testimony that Claude was a prostitute.

“Ahem…! I…I heard how much the distribution is, so I…I’m going to go do some exercise!”

bang!!

Eventually, Claude, unable to bear the gaze of people, quickly left the room.

“Okay, let’s all go and rest.”

“Roy, you have to talk.”

“…ugh!”

“See you later, Sister Lauren~”

“Yes, Sia.”

The other colleagues each returned to their rooms.

dump-!

“Ugh… I’m tired…”

“Do you have a big headache?”

“A little bit…”

Huh-!

“Hehe….”

Sia, who was lying on the bed, comes to me and hugs me.

“Cain.”

Sia, who had been wriggling in my arms, called me in a slightly lowered voice.

“Why. Sia.”

“That’s….”

“Huh?”

Sia, who had difficulty opening her mouth, hesitated for a moment and finally opened her mouth.

“Cain, when are you going to get married?”

“Marriage? Hmm… Well, maybe later?”

Why the sudden marriage?

“How many wives…Graham…will you have?”

“Huh?”

“Bu…Buin…how many people?”

“Uh…..”

Did Lauren talk? Or… um, what should I say?

“I think Lauren and Mion like Cain.”

“…!”

I’ve told Lauren to try flirting with her a bit, but I’ve never told her about the lukewarm part.

As the awkward silence continued, Sia tried to speak in a bright voice.

“When I was young. I used to only look at Claude’s face all the time? When I came here, I only looked at my other sisters… My sisters also kept looking at Claude… Now I only look at Cain’s face, so hehe…”

I’ve been in love for over 10 years, so I feel like I can tell just by the way other people look at each other.

“Did it look like that?”

“Yeah…. But he’s my boyfriend….!”

Kkww-!!!

He hugs my body without hesitation and rubs his face against my upper body.

Along with the sobbing, my upper body began to feel damp.

“Did you dislike it?”

“Ugh… But…”

Sia’s words continued hesitantly.

Sia, who had been avoidant of men since childhood and had grown up relying solely on Claude and herself, had limited basic human relationships due to her somewhat awkward behavior and timid personality.

The people she became close with when she followed Claude to the Labyrinth City were Mion and Lauren, to the point where she called them her older sister.

Mion is basically a popular girl, but she has been in charge of our party for two years and has treated Sia kindly, which has opened Sia’s heart.

Lauren became close to him for a short time because of his unique appearance as an elf and his companion’s uniqueness.

“I don’t know….”

“I see.”

Pat pat-

In the first place, the reason Sia and I got together was because we had a crush on each other and Sia turned around to look at us, so Sia’s feelings seemed a bit complicated.

“Heehee….”

“Should we think about it a little more?”

“Yeah…”

Sia, who usually clung to me and asked me to have sex, fell asleep quietly in my arms.

After gently stroking Sia’s hair, I left the room and headed to Lauren’s room.

“Master…Master.”

“Yeah, I think Sia got the gist of it from your lukewarm reaction.”

“I…really?”

Lauren’s ears droop as she listens to me.

“Ahh… I’m worried that Sia is too hurt…”

“It’s not that I said I’d meet many women, but when Sia saw me, she just noticed that you and Mion seemed to have feelings for me.”

“Ah…”

“Because they are both precious friends to Sia.”

“….”

A face filled with guilt, different from when she greeted me with an excited expression.

His ears were sunken and he looked listless.

“For now, act like you normally do and pretend like nothing happened. I’ll talk to Sia again tonight.”

“Okay…”

“I fell asleep because I was tired from the hangover, so I’ll take good care of you when you wake up later.”

“Yes.”

After giving Lauren a hug once as she answered like that, I left the room and headed out of the dorm.

Because there were more people waiting for me to explore and return safely.

Ding-!

“Come on…. honey!!!”

WHAT!!!

It’s always fun to see the change in her expression whenever I enter Carmela’s shop.

She was sitting with her chin resting on the counter, looking around the store with a blank expression. The moment she heard the door open and saw me, her smile dramatically changed into a beautiful smile like a flower in full bloom.

As the end of the month approached, there were fewer customers and there were no customers inside the store.

After I captured her, every time I came into the store, her reaction was the same, so I kissed her, locked the store door, and drew the curtains.

“Hey… honey… where are you hurt?”

“No. I’m fine.”

“Thank goodness… Thank goodness… Chueup!!!”

Carmela, who had been feeling around here and there on my body, sighed in relief at my answer and clung to me even more tightly.

“Thanks to the gifts that Camella prepared for us, we all returned safely.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, I should praise you.”

“Well…then…let’s start praising them here…”

Creak-!

I put my hand under her skirt and placed it on top of her soaking wet panties.

“It’s time to start watching it slowly.”

“Huh? Really…?”

“Yeah. Looks like your belly is starting to grow.”

“Ugh… Ugh… It’s already gotten a little ugly, right?”

Carmella’s belly was swollen, already four months pregnant.

If it was her first pregnancy, it would take five months for it to show, but because of her body, the fat on her lower abdomen and sides has increased, so she looks quite pregnant.

“It’s ugly. We have a child. Isn’t it pretty?”

“Hehe…”

Pregnancy often causes depression, but I kept praising Camella, who always asked me cute questions like a reply, and went into the break room, saying she was pretty.

I’m going to meet Sion today and talk some more after Mion finishes her combination, so I’ll have to finish a little early.
