Chapter 114: Hot springs (1)
Hunter, Aimee, Seraphina, and Mayun were riding the carriage to the Red Mountain Hot Springs. The route was safe, and no monster would dare to assault humans there, or anyone else for that matter. All because Death Prince and his queen\'s terror was still deeply permeating their bones.
Hunter was in the driver\'s seat, holding the horses\' reins and pulling the carriage forward. He hadn\'t really had to do anything yet, as horses were smart and raised under Madam Erika\'s name. One could call them royal horses whose intelligence wasn\'t limited at all.
On either side, Hunter was flanked by his girlfriends, and Mayun was desperately trying to stay close to them. She had perched herself on the carriage\'s roof and held the edge for her deal life.
Hunter ignored her, questioning aloud, "So, it appears that villages and cities aren\'t troubled by the Lucifer\'s Curse because of The World Order."
Back in the past, Hunter was stupefied to learn about demons and monsters living up in the skies. They had taken more than eighty percent of the clouds, so it was honestly shocking to hear that humans allowed them to be there. Perhaps it was hard for them to fight monsters in the skies, and only a few of them could really properly use their abilities up there.
But the boss and her companions had told him that there was more to it than he thought. There was a reason humans\' villages, cities, associations, and more were safe from the threat of the above. Also, roads, just like the one Hunter was on, were also spared from heaven\'s troubles.
Connecting the dots after everything he had learned so far, Hunter came to the assumption that it was The World Order keeping monsters and demons off the density of humans. Should a demon make its own domain above a village, it\'d use more than just mere agents to bring it down.
It was perhaps a deal they made with demons, too.
Aimee nodded, "I guess." Her standing wasn\'t so high that she could learn all those mysteries. Her elder sister must know more than her, but it wasn\'t like she would spit all of it should she ask her.
Seraphina and Mayun could only nod and throw their own assumptions, engaging themselves in the conversation.
Hunter was quite surprised to see the orange-haired witch here, though.
"Don\'t you want to reunite with your mother?" he asked. From what he learned about her, she was a prodigy of the Magical Association, and she had run off to meet her mother. Maybe life over there was cramped, and she felt confined by everyone\'s attention and responsibilities, or maybe she just missed her mother.
Nonetheless, it was odd that she hadn\'t taken up on Madam Erika\'s offer to take her to the first hunter union.
Mayun nodded, "I want… but it\'s not like a few days more gonna hurt me or her! I don\'t want to miss having fun with you now that the battles are over!"
"Sounds fair," Hunter casually nodded, not really having much deeper feelings since he wasn\'t fond of his parents from Earth and was abandoned since his birth here.
Aimee didn\'t miss a chance to prod at Mayun while Seraphina left them alone, using this as a chance to cuddle up with Hunter\'s arm more. She was steeling herself for the idea that had popped into her mind. And for that idea to blossom, she needed to tackle her trauma.
Hugging Hunter\'s arm and pressing her chest onto him was the first step toward her better self.
Aware of it, Hunter gently smiled at her, helping her cope with her feelings. He believed he would never appear like Asmodeus to her and that his soft reactions would open her more up to him. He softly ran his fingers through her hair, bringing her closer to him.
A soft kiss landed on her hair, then, and Sera\'s lips unconsciously curved up.
Yes, that much was so sweet!
-
The Red Mountain.
Such a simple name wasn\'t plastered on the mountain housing hot springs for no reason. Already seeing it on the horizon, Hunter noticed the red spire of it, which reminded him of the volcano. He had never seen a volcano in person but had seen images of it back on Earth as a part of his geography studies.
In addition to the red peak, the mountain was littered with a ridge of houses from which steam billowed. Each house had its own hot spring. Some were like one flat house, some like two, and some were even mansions. There was one long snake mansion, which was probably an open and public hot spring.
It wasn\'t something Hunter was aiming for. He would never allow anyone to see the naked bodies of Aimee and Seraphina. If anything, he would sacrifice Mayun. He had already developed an image of Mayun as a persistent young girl chasing him whenever she could, so he wasn\'t troubled she would leave him or refuse to work with him in the future.
"Can\'t wait!" Hunter shook the reins, prompting the horses to run over to the mountain\'s feet! He liked cold baths, but just like Seraphina and Aimee had thought before, hot springs had their own charm. He could imagine the obscurity of steam playing with his mind, making the entire event exciting.
The hot water was also good at painting the pert bodies of women red. If he was right, the hot springs also had their own unique culture and clothes, so he expected a lot of fun!
He demanded a lot after the hard work and troubles he had gone through.
Aimee smiled in her honey mood, already imagining improper thoughts.
Seraphina grew nervous, but a smile failed to drop off her lips.
Mayun even seemed excited, "I heard you drink something like sake at hot springs! It\'s some type of alcohol, right? I\'m eighteen, so I can already drink! Hunter, you will pay for this lady, right?"
"Such a blatant request! Sure, I will pay!" Hunter shrugged off. That much he could do now that he gained a lot of income from Susan and Erika. He was quite rich, so he could buy a lot of things in those hot springs!
Picking up this request, Aimee\'s eyes shone with cruel light. This woman gonna make Mayun pass from too much alcohol, surely.
At last, he was at the mountain\'s feet.
The business was one of the most lucrative ones, so there were guards who were only a step short of the subordinates from the minor nobles. They were the reason the hot springs had never seen any thievery and monsters on their guards. But even those women could protect only the walls at most, so the hot springs were closed during the monster tide.
Now, however, Death Prince and his queens had saved them from the troubles.
And those masterminds were before them!
It was not like Hunter could announce he was the one responsible for their business in those dire times…
However, he had quite a good letter!
After passing it to the female guard, her view of him instantly changed, and she invited him like an honored guest. His carriage with goods drove to the peak of the red mountain, where Madam Erika\'s estate was waiting for him.
Soon, Hunter entered it, only to be astounded as there was an entire personnel waiting for him. Maids, maids, and even more maids. Their clothes were proper and solemn, yet their figures and pretty faces indeed pulled strings of Hunter\'s heart.
He stood stupefied while they smiled at him, aware that the new owner of the mansion had arrived there.
"We\'re honored to welcome and be of service to you, Master Hunter," the maids bowed, their usual movement somewhat troubling them as their heavy tits fell before a man. If it was a woman, they wouldn\'t care much, but it was a man, and for some reason, they couldn\'t help but blush.
Hunter gulped down. A thought of throwing all those maids to the hot springs had crossed his mind. Perhaps he\'s been committing a huge mistake by not indulging in his desires. He should have boned Anna, the older sister from the village, and all other women who had been charmed by him.
It\'d be like climbing up the stairs of the community and strength. Nothing wrong with that, right? From a common village garden to the divine one, for example. Wouldn\'t that be a good life? He would have so much more experience by now, too!
"Hunter?" Aimee asked; her smile, though sweet as usual, was now too dangerous. She must have sensed his second thoughts and even some regrets, so Hunter thought better of it and instantly dispelled his lecherous thoughts.
His path was good.
His path was proper.
His path was the best.
\'To think that being called Master by a dozen maids would have given me second thoughts! I thought I had matured, but I am still horny as fuck! I must control herself, or I will hurt Seraphina!\' Hunter already had an inkling that Seraphina was doing her best to open herself to him, so he had to learn more self-control.
Humans were quite simple yet complicated existences.
They could take a step forward to become a better person, only to take three back and become even worse.
Hunter carefully controlled his feelings and ordered his maids.
"Show me the way."
The way to the hot springs, of course! Alas, Hunter had forgotten that he had to rinse himself first. He spent time alone under the shower with a poker face.
"Have I regressed?" he asked himself.
