Chapter 87: Ruining The Mood

We needed privacy, and since Diane had destroyed the door to our old room, Sarah and I began moving our things to the room next door where the other girls were sleeping.

“Ahh,” Sarah let out a deep sigh. “There are only four beds here. Where are Rick and I supposed to sleep?”

“Rick will sleep in that bed over there,” Alicia said calmly.

“Alicia, but that’s your bed,” Diane said.

“And what’s the problem?” Alicia asked, her eyes closed as if she didn’t care about such a trivial detail.

“Uraaaah!” Erina shouted just before jumping on Alicia’s bed.

“Hey, what do you think you’re doing? What would you do if you broke my bed?”

“Relax, princess, I’m not heavy enough to break this bed,” Erina said in a laid-back tone. “And I think it’s still big enough for our big guy over there to sleep in too.”

Erina’s eyes were fixed on me. The woman with the messy bun was licking her lips.

“Take your mind out of the gutter, Erina,” Justine said in a serious voice.

“Are you jealous, Justine? Want to sleep with me like when we were kids?” Erina said, moving the fingers of her open hand like tentacles, her eyes fixed on Justine’s bust. “But be careful, Justine, I might end up grabbing your titties during the night.”

Justine just looked coldly at her old friend and said, “Drop dead.”

“You’re too serious, you know that? You’ll end up with crow’s feet.”

“No one would want to sleep next to you, Erina. You move too much while you sleep, and you snore too loudly,” Alicia said to her.

“It’s not the time to joke, Erina,” Justine said, glancing at Sarah from the corner of her eye. “We still have some explaining to do.”

Sarah was still tense as she looked at both of them, as if she were preparing to be attacked at any moment. Diane stood with her arms crossed and her back against the wall, just watching from the corner of the room, but it was clear she was suspicious of the two of them.

Erina sighed, noticing those eyes on them. “You’re right. It seems those two won’t calm down either way.”

…

We spent some time telling Sarah the whole story. Diane didn’t react while I was speaking, probably because she had already heard everything from Alicia the night before. I was just confirming the details.

“So you’re saying you defeated the descendant of a legendary monster all by yourself?” Sarah asked with wide eyes.

“I didn’t defeat the Wolf Lord alone. Erina and Justine gave me backup during the beginning of the fight, and if Alicia hadn’t supported me, I would have died,” I told her. It wasn’t false modesty on my part—I simply couldn’t see that victory as my achievement alone.

“But even so, it’s still incredible!” she said, looking at me with admiration in her eyes.

A considerable part of her life had been dedicated to fighting monsters with a sword, so it made sense that she would be impressed by the fact that I had faced a living legend with nothing but a single blade and lived to tell the story.

But then her expression changed, as if an unpleasant thought had crossed her mind. Sarah then grumbled at me, “So after that fight, Alicia helped you deal with the side effect of Ero Boost, right? Eh, it must be nice…”

Sarah’s voice was filled with jealousy toward Alicia, and the princess responded to Sarah’s deadly stares with a big smug smile.

“Well, actually…” I said hesitantly. “As I said, I used my skill too many times, so Alicia wasn’t enough to satisfy my sexual hunger…”

“What do you mean?” Sarah asked in an inquisitive tone.

“You know, I could have died there, so we needed to take desperate measures…”

I just didn’t know how to tell her, but Sarah clearly understood where I was going with this. She looked at Erina and Justine, who were blushing while avoiding her gaze.

Erina was even whistling—she couldn’t have looked more guilty.

“Rick, just say it,” Sarah told me in a dark tone, so I decided to be as direct as possible.

“I had raw sex with Erina and Justine!” I said. My voice echoed a bit louder than I expected, surprising even Sarah.

Sarah took a deep breath after hearing that, and then, in a calmer tone, said, “Well, there was nothing else you could have done at the moment. If it was to save his life, then…”

Sarah turned to Erina and Justine, who were sitting on their respective beds listening to our conversation. The red-haired woman then said, “You saved Rick’s life. Thank you very much for that.”

Erina turned her face away, avoiding Sarah’s gaze. “No need to thank me. Rick saved my life too, so I just did what anyone would do.”

“At least you guys didn’t have sex just for the fun of it,” Sarah said with a happy smile on her face.

“Eh?” Justine and I let out a surprised sound as Sarah said that, and unfortunately the red-haired woman heard.

“You two, is there something that you guys would like to tell?” Sarah said, her smile was still on her face, but I could see the deadly aura emanating from the Swordmaster’s body.

I didn’t want to lie to Sarah. She was my first Valkyrie and the best girl of SCRL. She meant so much to me that I couldn’t just hide that from her. I would get in trouble with Alicia and Erina, but I decided to tell the truth either way.

“Justine gave me a blowjob when I wasn’t under the effect of Ero Boost.” I said to her without thinking twice. Justine couldn’t look at Sarah.

“What?” Sarah, Alicia, and Erina said in unison, surprised by my announcement. Justine remained quiet, looking at the floor in shame.

I immediately regretted what I had just done. Telling the truth was a bad idea. Before, I had to deal with one wife with killing intent. Now I had to deal with three. Thankfully, Diane didn’t join them, but I noticed her eyes looking at me.

“When did that happen?” Erina asked, dumbfounded.

“Two nights ago. You and Alicia were sleeping, so I…” Justine said, starting to explain while still embarrassed about the situation.

“So you sneakily went to have some fun with Rick?” Erina said.

“I couldn’t resist. His sperm tastes so good,” Justine said, placing a finger on her lips as if remembering my taste.

“You’re such a hypocrite, Justine,” Erina said, looking at her with disgust. “You treat me badly when I act like a pervert, but you’re even worse.”

Alicia’s cheeks were puffed, she was clearly angry at me and didn’t want to talk to me. But when I looked at Sarah, the girl just sighed even more deeply than before, “Do you know that you are too honest for your own good?”

“Yeah, I know. And I also remember saying I don’t want to betray the women I love. If I get involved with a woman, I have to take responsibility for my actions, right? So I have a solution to the problem I caused. I want Erina and Justine to join our party and become my Valkyries.”

“E-Eh?! Are you serious?” Sarah said, startled. “Wasn’t there a better way to say that?”

“No,” I responded. “I love you and Alicia, but I also love Erina and Justine, so I would like them to join our family. That is my resolve. What do you girls say?”

Affected by my bold attitude, Sarah replied in an annoyed tone, “I don’t think it’ll be a problem. From what you said, they were also attacked and have now decided to fight against the Silver Fang. If they’re willing to help Alicia, then I have no objections.”

Alicia, who had been angry, softened her expression and said, “Erina and Justine helped us, and I don’t think the two of them are bad people. Justine may be sneaky, but I don’t oppose it—though only if Diane allows it.”

Erina’s eyes then turned to Diane, who had been standing in the same spot since the beginning of the conversation. Her amethyst-colored eyes were closed, but I was sure she was still listening.

“Diane, I would like to apologize to you. I was following orders, but it was still wrong to shoot at you,” Erina said, sincerely asking for her forgiveness.

The white-haired girl looked at her and said in a firm voice, “Forget about it. You didn’t manage to hit me even once, so there’s nothing to apologize for. I allow you to join the party…”

Alicia and I smiled when we heard Diane approving the two of them. But the assassin hadn’t finished speaking. In the blink of an eye, she moved her face very close to Erina’s face.

“But I don’t trust you one bit, Silver Fang’s lap dog. If you try anything against Alicia, I’ll finish you on the spot.”

Erina’s eyes trembled in shock. It wasn’t like when the three girls had been angry with me—Diane was making a real threat.

The white-haired girl then looked at Justine and said, “The same goes for you, Mage.”

My eyes met Diane’s, but she simply turned her face away from me. Then she left the room, slamming the door behind her.

’Why did she have to ruin the mood like that?’
