What Do You Mean There Are Other Transmigrators In My Harem Fantasy?

Chapter 312 She Needs To Be Useful (*R)

?

"My name is Edir… I… I thank you again for saving me… And please accept my sincerest apologies for my rudeness earlier…"

I made a noncommittal noise at her as a show of me accepting her apologies before I turned to Katsuki and whispered, "I can take the sword now, right?"

She nodded, "Of course, Mistress. She has agreed to give you everything after all."

Perfect!

I went over to the corpse of the warrior and picked up the sword, lifting it up to scan it with my [Screened].

[Light Sword - A sword imbued with Lumenmancy. The blade can be wrapped with an aura of light that has varying degrees of sharpness depending on how much mana was imbued into it.]

Oh… So… Basically I could make it into a light sword? Or more accurately… A light sabre? Cool!

I took that sword and replaced my steel sword with it, feeling the assuring weight of the weapon strapped to my side.

I turned back to Edir, finding her just standing at where she had been originally while looking straight at me.

Why is she looking at me like that? I didn't do anything weird right? She said everything is mine so I'm free to take this equipment, aren't I?

"Umm… What are you doing, Edir?" I asked, wondering if she wasn't just waiting for her family or something to pick her up.

She seemed really confused by my question and didn't seem to know how to answer me either, "Umm… I do not understand? Is… Is there something that I'm doing that upsets you, Mi… Mistress?"

Mistress? Is she just copying Katsuki's way of addressing me?

I shook my head, "No, I'm just wondering what you're doing standing there? Didn't we already save you? Why are you still here?"

Now she looked really lost with how she was fiddling with her fingers while slightly panicking. It really felt like the both of us were misunderstanding something but neither side knew what it was.

Thankfully, Katsuki swooped in to save the day as usual.

"Mistress, we had asked her to give us everything in return for saving her. That means the reward also includes herself."

I tilted my head slightly, "Eh? Wait… Do you mean…"

"That she's also now Mistress's slave? That is correct."

Ehhh?! But I didn't ask for that though?! All I wanted was this sword or something and maybe some monetary compensation before she just goes on her way?! I never intended for her to suddenly become my slave?! Is something like this even normal?!

Katsuki seemed to have read my mind again as she continued without prompting, "It is indeed something that happens from time to time, Mistress. No one can expect themselves to be saved for free within a Dungeon after all. It is a place where you can expect to be betrayed by your own party so the only person you could trust is yourself. If you require help, you should expect to pay some kind of compensation in return most of the time."

I pointed at her, "And in her case…?"

"She promised to give us everything, Mistress. That means her party's spoils, her own equipment and even herself would be given to Mistress after we have saved her from her original fate of dying to the Dungeon Mimic."

"And she's ok with that?"

"That was the price we agreed on at the beginning, Mistress."

I guess I do remember hearing Katsuki asking her about what she was willing to give and she agreed to giving 'everything' of something… Was that how this worked?

I thought that 'everything' might only have included the weapons, armour and the money the party had on them… I didn't know it included the person's freedom too.

I turned to Edir and she didn't seem to be protesting against whatever Katsuki said so I could only assume that this was indeed the case.

"But it was all verbal thought?" I pointed out. "Couldn't she just renege on her promise with no consequences?"

"As Mistress might remember, the Dungeons belong to the Gods. A verbal promise like that in exchange for her life is something akin to a contract too and the Gods would punish her should she break it."

Oh damn, I wonder if there were any Off-Worlders who might not know about this and get themselves into trouble for such a thing? I wouldn't be surprised if there actually were a few.

"But isn't the Dungeon Master the principal now? Would she be the one to punish her? How does that work?" I asked.

Katsuki shook her head, "Dungeon Masters do not own the Dungeon, Mistress. You could see them as just administrators acting in place of the Gods."

"Well… In that case… What do we do with her? I don't really need another slave…"

Katsuki leaned close to my ear to whisper, "Mistress… You can also release her at your discretion but I suggest to at least put her to work for the duration of our Dungeon run to have her pay back her dues to us, especially since she had insulted Mistress as well. For some people, they would just have the Dungeoneer they rescue work as a porter of sorts whom they will release after they have completed their Dungeon exploration."

I actually forgot she was rude to me at the beginning… I was just so focused on the sword the warrior guy had.

I guess I don't mind doing that either… It would ease Katsuki's burden of taking care of all of us too so maybe that might even be a good thing.

"Alright, let's do that. If you do a good job in serving us, then we'll let you go free after we are done!" I decided.

Edir gasped, "A… Ah! Tha… Thank you very much! I will do my best!!"

"Hmm… You seemed to have gotten over your party members' death pretty quickly though?"

"E… Eh? D… Do I?"

This time, it was Odeta's turn to come up to me, "Sister Aster~ They aren't a permanent party you know? Sometimes people would make temporary parties because they are looking to complete the same quests, so these people teamed up with each other just to dive into this Dungeon~"

Oh right, like that time I joined that noble guy's party to help him get out of that marriage.

Just one question though…

"How did you know?"

"Wahahaha! She was ready to run the moment the others started dying. So it was either that or she's a really shitty person!"

I… Don't even know what to say to that but ok…

"I will do my best! Please don't leave me behind!!" Edir begged desperately, going so far as to get on her knees to beg me.

That made me a little confused, "Eh? Why are you acting like this? I think you should be able to survive on your own to reach the nearest stairs and return yourself to the surface, right?"

She shook her head, "I… I'm not as strong as you girls… Especially as a ranger, if I meet a monster with no vanguard, I won't be able to kill it before it reaches me…"

Err… Ok… Can't you just like kite the monsters while you shoot them or something? Sounds like a skill issue to me to be honest…

Then again… That was probably why she's so desperately begging me to not toss her away right now I guess.

As I said, I didn't really have a problem with her following us so I was about to tell her that when she suddenly shuffled towards me and lifted up my skirt while still on her knees

Both of us let out gasps of surprise, myself at her sudden action while I still wasn't sure what she was surprised about.

"Umm… You… You are a futa?" She whispered, looking up at me in surprise.

"Eh? Ah… Yes?" I affirmed a little lamely.

That was what she was surprised about?

She looked back down at my cock that was wrapped up in my penis sheath. I wasn't sure what she planned to do but neither Katsuki nor Odeta were doing anything to stop her so I guess this was normal?

That was when Edir moved a little closer to start stroking my cock while her lips wrapped themselves around the head, sucking on it gently and coaxing it to full hardness.

I gasped and shuddered at the unexpected pleasure that she was giving me.

I wasn't that clueless of course. At this point, I already knew what she was trying to do.

She had made herself my slave and she was deathly afraid of us abandoning her since her life was literally in our hands.

The easiest way to make herself 'useful' was to provide sexual pleasure which was a universal bargaining tool no matter where you go.

I felt a little embarrassed that she was doing it right in front of Katsuki and Odeta but the two of them seemed to show absolutely no interest in it. Odeta opted to go collect the drops from the dead Dungeoneers while Katsuki busied herself with extracting the Mana Crystal from the Mimic.

Meanwhile, Edir was going to town with my cock using her mouth. The fact that I was erect must have told her that I was completely turned on from her ministrations which incentivised her to do me even harder, her head bobbing back and forth even faster as she sucked me off.

Soon enough, I reached my peak and I came into my penis sheath which prompted her to release me from her mouth, leaving her hand on my shaft to jerk me off to completion.

Mnn… I hate to admit it, but because of my old World's values, this impromptu blowjob felt especially immoral which makes it even more exciting.

Hey, don't tell me you wouldn't too! Anyone who says otherwise is a liar!
