Chapter 161: Need a party member who is good at changing diapers? (2)
“Special request?”
“Yeah! I went to the Explorers’ Union as usual, and a little kid grabbed me and told me to bring my party members! I have a request for you!”
“?”
“Why are you looking at me like that? Is something strange?”
“A kid said that?”
“Yeah!”
Jubeel nodded calmly, but I felt a strange sense of discomfort.
“Why’s a kid telling you to bring our party members?”
This was a very shameless act.
The more clients that want to give the party a request and the higher their level, the better, but the explorers are not that soft.
Explorers are usually philistines who put money first, but that doesn’t mean they are ignorant, self-respecting idiots.
If the client looked down on us like a slave, we had to take it out on them and make them feel deeply why they were giving us a request.
And that doesn’t change, even if it’s a kid who’s still wet behind the ears.
“Go ahead. Let’s see what kind of kid is telling us to come.”
“Ah. It’s not just any runt. It’s Yonel Freya, the Deputy Leader of the Explorer’s Union.”
“Fuck. You should’ve said that first!”
She said the most important thing last.
“Jubeel. We decided to call it a summons, not a designated request.”
“That’s it.”
“Haa⋯”
If she’s the vice president of the Explorers’ Union, she’s not just a client.
She’s the top 2 in the union that countless explorers belong to.
She’s the one in power right under Idelbert.
“And honestly, it’s true that she’s a kid.”
“No. That’s not the point.”
“Huh. A kid with big tits and a big butt isn’t an adult. To be treated as an adult, you have to be at least 170cm tall, have F-cup breasts, and be able to breastfeed. Just like me.”
Jubeel snickered and stroked her plump breasts from below.
Every time she did that, breast milk leaked out from her areola covered by her thin cotton shirt and soaked the floor.
“⋯Just wait a minute. I’ll get some gear and come back.”
“Got it!”
Jubeel had been knocking on the inn door so loudly since morning that I was half-asleep.
I had put on my helmet but hadn’t washed up or showered.
I came to my senses and changed into my clothes in the shower room Diana had prepared for me.
I didn’t know what was going on, but I was meeting the Vice President of the Explorers’ Union.
At least I had to look neat and presentable. I also had to show myself as an explorer.
I put on the leather armor and protective gear I had prepared, and hung two axes on my back and waist.
[Are you going to the labyrinth?]
Bunny spoke to me.
Up until now, she had rarely spoken to me first, but after consuming semen in the confession room, I felt like she could talk a little more.
[No. To meet someone.]
[⋯A female? You. Are you planning on providing semen to another female?]
Bunny raised her voice, but I was just dumbfounded.
Why would I do something like that to someone I’ve just met, especially to the vice president?
[⋯Save half and only give half. I’ve given up half of what’s in my body. So you have to leave some for me to eat later.]
Bunny said that and fell into silence again. It’s really hard to follow.
Anyway, I put on my gear and headed straight to the Explorers’ Union with Jubeel.
“But why did she call us?”
It wasn’t an ordinary case.
For someone as big as the vice president of the Explorers’ Union to call a party of low-level explorers.
Of course, our actual skill level was mid-to-low, but even so, it wasn’t an ordinary case.
“I don’t know the details either. I was just told to call the party members. But I saw the plump dark elf we met last next to the vice-chairman.”
The dark elf we saw last time.
“Nuer Erencia?”
“Yeah. The dark elf you were going to do something with last time. You were really into it, huh? I saw her crawling around next to the vice-chairman today.”
The puppet curse that was on Nuer was lifted.
It seemed like the Puppeteer had played some kind of trick on the puppet curse to make it difficult for the Temple, but the other person was a saint from the Mother Goddess Church.
However, even though the curse was lifted, the idiot’s mind didn’t come back easily.
–Tta-tta-tta-a! Ta-a-a!
Just yesterday, Nuer, who was throwing a tantrum and didn’t want to be separated from me as I got off the carriage, was finally taken home by the temple people.
‘Is this something related to Nuer?’
While walking with that thought, I arrived at the Explorers’ Union before I knew it.
-Squeak.
As soon as I pushed open the open door and entered the Union building, a mysterious feeling covered my whole body.
“⋯?”
It felt like someone was observing me.
I immediately activated my cognition and looked around.
“Hey. Did you see that? That thing earlier.”
“Of course I did. Is that really Nuer? How on earth did that happen⋯”
“What reason could a woman have for that? There’s only one.”
“I saw Nuer yesterday when I went to the temple. She was being carried by a man named Balkan. Could it be⋯?”
Aside from the curious and excited gazes of a few explorers who were whispering inside, no one was particularly looking at me.
‘It’s not my imagination.’
I definitely felt someone’s gaze.
“Balkan! Jubeel!”
“Both of you are here.”
I greeted the Harpy Magician Lammel and the Cat Priestess Hitolis with a strange question in my mouth.
The former leader, Joy Hog, was nowhere to be seen.
She left the Labyrinth City for a while, leaving the leadership position to me to take care of her parents who had been attacked by a strange woman.
Lammel, who looked genuinely curious, asked me a question carefully.
“Balkan. There’s a rumor going around that you ruined a woman’s life with your penis. Is that true?”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Yeah. Right? It’s just a rumor, isn’t it?”
When I replied with a tired expression, Lammel nodded as if she knew it.
Then the group of explorers stirred again.
“See. I told you it’s just a rumor? How can a man ruin a woman with his penis?”
“T-That’s right? But look. That thing next to the thigh guard. If I get stabbed by that, I’ll definitely wet my pants and pass out.”
“Well, that’s for sure⋯ I may never be able to say anything but ‘give me a dick for the rest of my life’.”
Our party ignored the explorers whispering among themselves and headed to the vice president’s office.
It was located right below the top floor of the Explorers’ Union.
There was a floor just below Idelbert’s office and training grounds, which was exclusively for the vice president.
As soon as I opened the door on the stairs and stepped into the hallway, a mysterious sensation once again covered my entire body.
The gaze I felt just now, it felt like someone was observing me.
The owner of that gaze was on this floor.
[Vice president’s office]
After walking a little down the hallway, I saw a tightly closed door.
I looked at the gold-painted nameplate for a moment and was about to knock.
Squeak–
The door opened by itself.
The party members looked at each other for a moment, nodded, and stepped through the door.
Chirp. Chirp!
Peep pee-pee.
Meow.
It was more like a small zoo than an office.
From small sparrows and pigeons to cuckoos, hawks, eagles, cats, dogs, and even mice.
All kinds of small animals were staring at us with the same golden eyes.
“Welcome.”
And then, a tongue-tied child’s voice was heard.
A little girl with a small yellow chick on her head was looking at me from her cute rocking chair.
“I’ve often heard stories about you from the leader.”
[Yonel Freya LV.1]
[Currently held by Yonel Freya: 1 blessing and curse]
[◆ Blessing of the protected species]
My eyes were drawn to the unusual level 1 for a moment.
“Is this your first time seeing me in person? Hmm. First, everyone sit down. It’ll be uncomfortable.”
“Ah. Yes, we are⋯”
“You don’t have to introduce yourself. We all know each other. Balkan. Jubeel. Lammel. Hitolis. Right?”
Boom!
The little girl, or rather, the vice-chairman of the explorer association, got down from the rocking chair and sat down at the head of the table and waved to us.
The party members who had been standing blankly for a moment followed her words and sat down on the reception sofa.
“What would you like to drink? I have black tea and coffee.”
“Would you like to try my breast milk—”
-Swish!
“Coffee, please.”
Lammel and Hitolis quickly grabbed Jubeel’s mouth, and I answered instead.
Then the eagles, hawks, cats, and dogs in the office each moved skillfully and brought coffee with a luxurious aroma.
“You must have been surprised when I called you all of a sudden, but thank you all for coming.”
“No.”
Freya, who spoke in a soft tone that was unusual for a child and was adding a lot of sugar cubes to her coffee, sipped her cup and smiled with satisfaction.
The party members looked at her with eyes that looked at an unfamiliar and strange person.
Vice-Chairman of the Explorers’ Union, Yonel Freya.
Compared to Idelbert, the leader of the Union, I hadn’t heard much about her.
The only information I heard was that she had been dispatched to the lawless district with Nuer and some others, that she hated criminals, and that she was quite a strict person.
‘She doesn’t look like that…’
Maybe because of the soft animals surrounding her and her childish appearance, she looked a little different from what I had imagined.
“I called you for nothing else, but I have a job to entrust to you.”
“A job to entrust to us?”
“Yes. Nuer. Come out.”
At Freya’s words, someone crawled out from under the table where she was sitting.
“Bim-ta-ta…!”
The dark elf Nuer Erencia babbled familiarly.
“Ta-a-a!”
Her eyes turned to me, and she came over using flying magic, clinging tightly to my feet.
“Crazy⋯”
“Oh my⋯”
Without even a moment to see the party members’ reactions with astonished expressions.
“Hmm. As expected, you follow along well.”
“Eung! Ta-ta!”
“⋯⋯”
Freya, who had been staring at me and Nuer, continued speaking.
“It’s not that difficult. Take her to the fountain on the 15th floor.”
The party members’ expressions became serious at the calm voice.
The 15th floor is the only safe area in the Labyrinth, and another Labyrinth City.
“If you take her there, Nuer’s spirit will be healed.”
