Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 101 Harem of the Black Hair

"Mine… mine is enough, right?"

"Y—"

"Mine is better than hers?"

Rhys was ready to answer Lina's first question without any hesitation. But as soon as she posted her next question, Rhys quickly found his lips completely sealed. How… was one even supposed to answer that?

He could just say yes. After all, Lina is his girlfriend — but on the other hand, Katarina was the woman who took care of him for almost half his life. The only thing he knew was that no matter how he answered, he would always lose.

"..." Rhys took in a small gulp as he could really only just back away. His eyes, looking back and forth between Lina, who had her breasts proudly out there; even making it jiggle as she glared at Rhys. On the other hand, Katarina was trying to cover her breasts, but failing as they truly was just that big; her breasts were enough to cause them to jiggle.

"What… what are you even asking him!?" Katarina raised her voice; her arms, trying their best not to let her large breasts pop out, but once again failing as her nipples could now be seen from the gaps of her fingers,

"That is a very inappropriate question! And stop stripping, are you an exhibitionist!?"

"You're the one with your monsters out!" Lina pointed at Katarina's breasts.

"Because you ripped my clothes off!"

"Then cover yourself with a blanket or run to the bathroom! What? You're not doing it because you want Rhys to see them!"

"N…No!" Katarina stuttered, "If… If I run, they… they're going to bounce all over the place even if I'm holding them."

"Argh! Now you're just showing off! Mine isn't even that small! I'm a C-cup, c-cup! Yours is the abnormal one. I mean, is that even in the alphabet!?"

"It's not my fault that…"

And as the two continued to argue with each other, Rhys finally found the answer where the three of them would win. And so, he looked at the two and held his breath…

…before suddenly running to the door and just leaving them again. And as Rhys waited for the elevator, he realized something — the two were actually spending more time in his own apartment than him… and they lived on the same floor too.

Rhys still needed 1 more member in order to create a guild, and he did not really know how to go on about doing that. He could post online, as most people do, but since the two other members of the guild were already someone he intimately knew, he wanted the third one to be the same.

Perhaps someone from the Faceless Crew? That would have been ideal, if he actually knew how to contact them outside the Underworld Corps — they did not really give out any contact details or anything about their personal lives outside the Underworld.

Maybe he should just do what Kenneth did? Introduce himself to new Explorers. In that way, she would grow with the guild and they would get to know her… it could also be a He, of course.

"Hm…" Rhys once again pressed the down button of the elevator, as if it would make it reach him any faster. He just truly did not want to get involved in Lina and Katarina's… weird debate. Fortunately for Rhys, the elevator finally arrived a few seconds later.

And there, he saw a body covered in an oversized poncho, dumped on top of several large bags.

"What…" Upon further examination, however, he noticed the body was still moving; its hand, trembling as it seemingly tried to reach for him.

"R…Rhys," the body whispered.

"You…" Rhys squinted his eyes as the hoarse voice reached his ears. And soon, as he saw a glance of the body's face, he quickly rushed toward the body in shock,

"Ayesha!?"

***

"Gat damn! Ah!"

"..." Rhys, Katarina, and Lina could really only fling their heads to the side to avoid all the chunks of food being spilled in the air as Ayesha practically devoured the meal in front of her. But of course, Ayesha was not really wasting anything as she quickly caught all the food flying away before they could even get far.

And finally, after what seemed like an entire hour and a hundred dollars worth of takeout, Ayesha gulped down a liter of water in one gulp… before gently wiping her mouth with a napkin.

"Thanks for the food. I thought I was gonna have to start eating balls to survive out there," Ayesha let out a satisfied breath as she let herself fall onto the chair; her arms almost giving out on her as she looked at the ceiling,

"They didn't even bother giving me any money, nothing. And I don't even know the way here so I got lost for a few days. Damn, damn — I hate the Surface."

"What are you doing here, Ayesha?" Rhys stood up straight, almost saluting as he asked Ayesha a question.

"Well, Recruit. Whoop dee doo, I got kicked out of the corps," Ayesha let out a small groan as she lazily looked at Rhys, "Because of you."

"...But you're the Commander of the Underworld Corps."

"I guess I wasn't supposed to let you go, Recruit. And they are ordering me to take you back."

"Then let's go back," Rhys rushed to get his bag, "They can't do that to you, Ayesha."

"Whelp, they did," Ayesha just lazily stood up, causing Katarina and Lina to move away as she made her way to the sofa and turned on the TV, "Anyway, what's going on with the Surface lately? Anything good on TV? The Altos still a thing?"

"What… are you doing?" Rhys abruptly stopped packing his things as he saw Ayesha just casually relaxing on the couch.

"Gonna watch TV, Recruit. Relax," Ayesha sighed, "You going somewhere? Buy me my shampoo while you're at it. Haven't washed my hair for a week."

"Aren't… you here to take me back, Ma'am?" Rhys could really only blink a couple of times as he approached Ayesha on the sofa.

"Pft, me? Take orders from the old bag of balls?" Ayesha scoffed and shook her head, "Nope, no way. He thinks someone else could do it better than me? Go — see where he could find someone with bigger balls than me. Anyway, I'm kinda horny…

…wanna have sex like old times?"

"That…" Rhys's eyes turned wide as he quickly turned to look at Lina. And surprisingly enough, she did not really react violently and just let out a short but very deep sigh.

"Wait… hold on…" Ayesha noticed Rhys's expression as she quickly sat up from the sofa and started looking at him and Lina back and forth, "...You didn't tell him that you know about us doing it like crazed pigs down there?"

"...What?" Rhys's worried expression turned into confusion as he heard Ayesha's words, "Wait… you two know each other?"

"We're in a group chat, Recruit," Ayesha let out a chuckle as she pointed at him, "They didn't tell you? Wait, let me check if my phone's already charged."

"...They?" Rhys quickly turned to look at Katarina, only for her to look away.

"R… Remember when you asked me how I knew you were going to live in this apartment?" Katarina's voice quickly became meek as she could not even look Rhys in the eyes, "I… I got the information from her."

"W—"

"It's this!"

"W—wait, don't just show him!"

Both Lina and Katarina tried stopping Ayesha, but the only thing they could do was get dragged by her as she practically placed her phone right in front of Rhys's face. And there, Rhys saw a group chat called,

Harem of the Black Hair.

"I didn't name that!" Katarina could really only turn her head down and give up. As for Lina, she let go of Ayesha and just started laughing nervously.

"You guys… have a group chat about me?" Rhys could really blink a couple of times.

"We'll… we will delete it. We—"

"No, It's… fine." And to everyone's surprise, a smile slowly crawled on Rhys's face, "I'm just… glad that the people I consider my closest friends are also friends with each other."

"Rhys…" Katarina, Lina, and Ayesha could really only look at each other as they heard Rhys's somber tone.

"And I'm sorry, Lina. I was actually going to tell—"

"No," Lina quickly placed a finger on Rhys's mouth, "The truth is… I was jealous and incredibly livid when I first found out. Then I remembered us having sex the first time and remembered almost dying."

"...What?" Rhys blinked.

"Y…yeah. I didn't want to tell you because I was supposed to be the one with the experience," Lina sucked in a deep breath, "I've actually been telling this to Kat but… I can't handle you alone. And also, when I confronted Ayesha — I realized she was cool like that, you know?"

"...That was happening while I was in the Corps?" Rhys asked.

"Why act so surprised?" Ayesha scoffed, "Recruit, you're built like a freaking god. And your dick is huge too, probably tried to adapt all these years to get in between those tits."

"What the…" Katarina quickly crossed her arms as Ayesha pointed at her breasts.

"Gat damn, those are huge. And I thought mine was already big," Ayesha grabbed her own breasts; her nipples, slightly revealing themselves through the collar of her white tank top, "Y—"

"Wait," Rhys raised his voice before the topic could once again go to whose breasts were nicer, "...You have an Explorer's License, Ayesha?"

"I think so. Does that thing expire?" Ayesha shrugged.

"Then, while you're here..." Rhys looked Ayesha in the eyes, "Do...

…you want to join my guild?"
