The Quest Is Simply To NTR All The Heroes

Chapter 103: Mermaid-san

Elfie patrolled the cave perimeter, on the lookout for any potential threats, much like her former master.

She felt indifferent, knowing her master had done something wrong towards Alice, and that Kaisen had beaten him up.

It wasn't new for her.

Her master had done these types of things back in her world.

The only difference between there and here was that he could use his status as the archduke's son to escape from every single atrocity he committed.

But here, his status meant nothing.

Forgetting that fact was her master's downfall.

Was she sad that he's gone?

She don't know.

She don't even know what she was supposed to do now.

Not to mention, no matter what she does here, if her master comes back, she has to go back.

Why?

Because her original body is back in her master's room, plugged into the weird headset that unusually handsome man had provided them.

"Thinking of that man, I had a suspicion he wasn't from our world."

This man was a textbook example of handsomeness.

Like, too handsome that he even rivaled her Queen back in her world.

There was no information on the man, no clan name or associate names or anything with him.

It was as if he simply exploded into existence.

The king had imprisoned and tortured the guy, but that proved useless as he simply did not feel any pain.

He was just too powerful for anyone from her world.

If he wanted to, he could have conquered her world and become its new ruler.

But instead of something like that, he simply offered "entertainment."

Entertainment, unlike anything anyone has ever seen before, all in the shape of a small helmet.

Of course, people were intrigued and doubtful at first, but they slowly started to buy it from him.

For free, apparently.

"This is just a prototype. I'll charge you guys once I release the final product. Enjoy, enjoy, and be corrupted in a fantasy realm."

Were the man's words during the product distribution.

Looking back, it was the time all their problems started.

"I wonder if my body is okay back there."

She muttered to herself, shaking her head.

She pulled the reins in her hand, bringing the horse to a stop. In front of her lay the pool Kaisen and Maximus had built a day before.

The rain from last night had filled it with water, and seeing the water that had... bubbles suspiciously coming from one corner, she had a desire to take a bath.

It had been so long since she took a bath in a pool. In this forest, she just took a bath in the rain at night, but seeing the pool... she just couldn't help herself.

She hopped off the horse and squinted her eyes around her to see if anyone was near her.

"Seems like everyone is back at the camp."

Her lips awkwardly and slightly curved up. She had been smiling lately, something she never did back at home.

Why would a hunter smile? There was no need at all.

"I'm getting lenient..."

She took a deep breath, dropped her bow and arrow, and slowly started to take off her leather armor.

She wouldn't have worn it and would've gone with the tunic, but seeing her master could pop out of nowhere, she decided to be ready.

The boots came off first, then the jacket, followed by the undershirt, and finally her pants. Hunters didn't need underwear, that's what her master had told her.

Then she stood at the edge of the pool, her emerald eyes scanning her reflection on the water surface.

She crouched down and leaned in, taking a good look at her face.

It had changed. For better or worse, she didn't know.

"Llyod..."

She thought about him.

He was the one who had changed her this much. His goofy antics and constant teasing had somehow made her slowly smile, and then eventually laugh.

Even his package down there was a piece for laughing.

Thinking about packages, suddenly she thought about Kaisen's package, and her whole face suddenly reddened.

'No, no, no.'

She shook her head and stood up.

The bubbles seemed to be slowing down.

Taking a deep breath, she dove into the pool.

The water was cold but not enough to freeze her.

Elfie followed the bubbles' direction and stopped when she saw where they were coming from.

?!

She gasped as she spotted Kaisen lying at the bottom of the pool. Reacting quickly, she swam towards him.

He hadn't lost consciousness entirely; his hands reached out to her, his face pale and blue.

She needed to act fast.

Grabbing his hands, she swam upwards and brought him to the surface.

"Kaisen!!"

Elfie shouted as soon as her head breached the surface. Kaisen remained motionless.

"Kaisen!!!"

Panic rising, she swam towards the edge and pulled him out. Without hesitation, she began administering CPR, pumping his heart.

It was clear he had ingested a lot of water; he looked bloated, like a pregnant woman. Despite her efforts, he remained unresponsive.

Elfie remembered something her master's father had taught her when she was younger.

Artificial respiration, her master's father had told her, could help someone who had ingested water. He had shown her what it meant:

"Open the other party's mouth, make contact with your mouth, breathe in, let your tongue slither inside theirs, and stroke their..."

'Stroke their... mm-hmm... thing... if it gets hard.'

Those were the archduke's words, and when he showed her how, just like he had said, his thing got hard.

He made her stroke his thing, and when the thing came, the archduke came back to life.

Of course, now looking back, that seemed to be ridiculous to her.

So many things seemed to be ridiculous to her, even some things that she firmly believed to be true, seemed false after she mingled with her new party members, but... there was no time to verify if it was true or not...

Without wasting a moment, she parted his lips and pressed her own onto his.
