## Chapter 522 – A Useful Fellow

I headed towards the bakery the coachman had mentioned earlier. From what I gathered, I just needed to go that way, turn into the alley, and keep going straight.

“Katt-nim. Are those ladies your wives? Indeed, there was a reason why I couldn’t seduce you. If you have such beautiful women, even I, a succubus, would have to concede. And they seem quite strong too.”
“This bastard?”

As soon as I turned into the alley, Hildegard’s voice rang out as if she had been waiting for me. This bastard’s movement skills are just too broken. She can freely use Gate and Fog Transformation, so distance is no obstacle for her.

I turned around to see her standing there.

“Anyway, Katt-nim, I want to help you. Could you praise me first?”
“More importantly, hey. Was the information you brought me about the city of Ordville correct?”

She was trying to act cute, so I immediately dodged and got straight to the point. If the information she brought me was about the cultists hiding in Ordville, then I’d hit the jackpot.

If I could succeed in the mission from the Saintess Kadia, I’d be willing to listen to her stories as much as she wanted. I’m a man who knows how to compromise for success.

“Ordville…? Ah, yes. That’s right. It was definitely that name. It’s a distance that would take humans about two or three days to travel.”

That’s right.

Maybe Hildegard is a better friend than I thought.

“This bastard is useful. I was just about to head there to investigate the cultists. Spill it.”
“Yes? Really? Wow! Katt-nim! We’re on the same wavelength! Hehehe! It seems I have no choice but to become Katt-nim’s bride now! Huh? Let’s live together.”
“Ugh, goddamn it.”

This bastard seems to have fallen hard for me.

I want to kill her, but she’s quite helpful, and it’s hard to use violence against a woman who’s fallen for me, so I can’t draw my sword.

Besides, I became a Quasi-Priest thanks to her, didn’t I?

It’s a give and take. She’s given me that much benefit, so I have to tolerate the violence. Still, my position hasn’t changed.

“You goddamn Hildegard. All I need from you is information, so just spit it out and get lost. You’re not particularly useful for anything else.”
“Ohoho, if I can’t be your bride, I’m fine with being your sex slave. But you have to give me love in return, okay?”
“…Are you even listening to me?”
“Of course. I want to hear every single word that Katt-nim says without missing a single one. So, let’s talk now.”

I can’t communicate with her.

As expected, she’s a demon, so her way of thinking is different.

“Anyway, tell me what you know. I don’t have time right now.”
“Ah, well… it’s a bit long to explain here. It seems like there are hardly any servants of God in that city, so I’ll guide you when you arrive. It’ll be easier to understand if I guide you directly rather than explaining it in words.”

Her intention was to guide me directly when I arrived in Ordville. That would be more convenient, but if I, who already dislike it, were to receive direct guidance, Claudie and Winia would definitely not like it.

I’m just in a position to use the information, but they wouldn’t hesitate to stab her.

“Is that so?”
“Yes. And if I reveal myself to your wives carelessly, I might get assassinated… Could you please talk to them nicely, Katt-nim? It would be easier for me to help if you did. Honestly, I think I’ll get caught even if I transform into a human.”

If it’s Claudie, who has exceptional senses, or Winia, who is a mage, it would be easy for them to see through her identity. What should I do? It would be better to get the job done easily.

“Can’t you just enter my dreams when I go to the inn over there?”
“Yes, y-yes?!”

In that instant, Hildegard’s eyes widened with hearts and she shouted in surprise.

Why?

“Are you allowing me to enter your dreams?!?!?!”

No, goddamn it.
This woman likes everything I say.

“Of course, it’s only for business purposes, you bastard.”
“That sounds good too! But I still think it would be better to meet in person… Ugh, hngg… Haa, I can’t take it anymore…”
“What?”

She, wearing a short skirt, wriggled her body while clenching her legs. Her face was already flushed red. Looking at her, fluids were dripping between her legs. Was she wearing no panties?

“Haa… I’ll go back for now… See you next time… Hngg!”

With that, Hildegard turned into fog again and disappeared.

“…”

I’m speechless, goddamn it.

Anyway, I went into the bakery and found the coachman.
I picked him up and returned to the carriage.

* * *

The carriage we were riding in was a mobile carriage pulled by two pumped-up Quetes. No, should I call this a carriage or a twin-wheeled vehicle? Anyway, it had a roof and windows, so traveling was quite comfortable. There wouldn’t be any problem lying down to sleep either.

The coachman said he puts up a tent on the roof of the carriage at night to sleep, which seems efficient in many ways.

“There are a lot of carriages.”

Winia said, looking out the window.

“You’re right. They said it’s a city that lives off distribution, so I guess it’s true.”

There were quite a few carriages heading to Ordville besides ours.

Roughly speaking, it was a procession of more than ten carriages.

Merchants and various passersby were mixed in, making it bustling. With this many in the procession, monsters would have to be really hungry to come near us. It’ll be a pleasant journey.

The estimated time of arrival is the morning of the day after tomorrow.

“By the way, Katt. What did the Saintess say she’d give as a reward?”
“Hehehe, I don’t know yet. She didn’t specifically say what she’d give me.”
“Hmph… I wonder what the Saintess will give Katt? I’m looking forward to it. Someone who’s a Saintess of such a big church must give a big reward.”

Claudie said with a smile.

She was also looking forward to the reward. But Claudie isn’t a woman with a lot of greed, so is she still looking forward to the reward from someone who’s a Saintess?

“Claudie, are you looking forward to the reward too?”
“Yeah.”
“But you didn’t really have much greed, did you?”
“Greed… rather, Mama’s greatest joy is just seeing Katt do well. Hehehe, a Quasi-Priest. He’s slowly building up his achievements like that.”
“Ah!”

When I stretched out my arms, Claudie unfastened the belt of her black leather jacket and took out her breasts. I stopped her because there was no need to take off her bra, and buried my face in her breasts.

“Claudie Mama…!”
“Katt, it tickles… Breast laundry?”
“It’s okay for now.”

She stroked my head as it was.

“Yeah, I have to help the darkie succeed. Carrying out the Saintess’s mission is as good as a great honor. You’ve been beating up demons and heretics all the time, so that’s good. You might be able to get a position later, right?”
“Hehehe, that’s probably how it’ll be. Success is already guaranteed.”

With my current skills, I’d be able to get a position anywhere. How common is a swordsman who draws Sword Qi? I’ve already secured my status by receiving the Quasi-Priest position, so there are no more penalties as a black-haired barbarian.

In other words, I’ve already been reborn as a next-generation talent.

“Giggle. I hope the darkie succeeds quickly too. I like seeing the darkie do well. But Unni. My chest feels a bit stuffy…”
“Oh my, already? I’m jealous, Winia.”
“What’s there to be jealous of, really.”

Winia, who had closed the curtains of the carriage, took off her coat and took out her breasts. Her pink, cute nipples were wet and shiny. It was because breast milk was overflowing little by little that it had become like that.

“Darkie, come here.”
“Winia… why have you become so lewd these days?”

I naturally moved to Winia’s side and sucked on her nipples as if swallowing them.

“You keep leaking breast milk like this.”
“Heheut, I don’t know. It seems to come out every now and then these days… Sister Lysha said there’s nothing wrong with my health, but I guess my constitution has changed…”

I happily sucked on Winia’s nipples and solved the overflowing breast milk.

Since the carriage was sealed except for the doors and windows, there was no way for the sound to leak out.

Is it because Winia’s breasts are big? These days, I have to suck on the breast milk that naturally fills up like this every now and then. Anyway, I enjoyed that milk time and told them.

“Ah, but Claudie. Winia.”
“Yeah?”
“Well… it seems like I’ll have some helpers while doing this job.”

It’s better to use what you can use.

My wives already know everything about Hildegard. There’s no need to hide it since I’ve already told them that she was the one who gave me the information about the Demon Gate incident.

“Helpers? Did the church send a Holy Knight or something?”
“Is it someone from the church?”

They seemed to think it would naturally be someone from the church.

“No, it’s not that. You know, the succubus I mentioned before? The one who told me about the Demon Gate.”
“…Why is that succubus?”

When I mentioned Hildegard, Winia glared at me.

“She said she’ll help this time too. She said she knows some information.”
“…When did you meet her?”
“While catching the carriage earlier.”
“…Darkie, take your mouth off, quickly.”
“Ah, why.”
“It’s not coming out anymore. Stop sucking.”

Winia, who had pushed me away, fastened her clothes.

“Katt? Can you tell me in detail?”

First, I told them that Hildegard had information and wanted to help me with it. Claudie, who had heard the whole story, nodded.

“Hmph, a succubus who helps Katt? Should Mama express her gratitude?”
“Why does that succubus keep hitting on the darkie?”

Claudie reacted positively, but Winia didn’t seem to like it. Actually, I don’t like it either.

“It’s because she’s aiming for the darkie’s energy.”
“What if she aims for it? I have no intention of giving it to her. There’s no reason to turn her away if she’s giving me information.”

I only intend to leech off Hildegard. Originally, the right thing to do with demons was to use them as much as possible.

That’s what Vugal did, didn’t he?

“So, she said she’ll help, so I want to receive the information, what do you think?”
“Hehehe, Katt. Do women come to help you even if you just stay still?”
“Does it work like that?”
“It’s all because Katt is a wonderful warrior. Originally, it’s common sense for a great man to have many women. Mama is in favor of it. It’s better to receive the information if she’s giving it to us. We don’t have to pay a price anyway, right? Winia, do you not like it?”

Claudie came to my side, who was sitting next to Winia, and sat on my lap.

“…I can’t like it when her intentions are so obvious, Unni.”
“Winia. It’s okay. She’s a demon. We have to use her when we can.”
“I know best that the darkie hates those kinds of guys. I’m not worried. I just don’t like other women hitting on the darkie besides my sisters.”

Winia said, leaning her head on my shoulder.

“I’m sorry about that, Winia.”
“Anyway, I’m in favor of using the information too. It’s a mission given by the Saintess, so we have to succeed no matter what means we use.”

That’s right.

Anyway, the carriage continued to move. Since it was a mobile carriage, there weren’t any particular inconveniences, so we were able to go quite comfortably.

And so, we arrived in Ordville two days later.

It wasn’t a rural village, but a city where goods were transported, so it was quite well-developed. Well, if distribution is good, various businesses will prosper. Leaving the scenery of carriages unloading their luggage behind, we headed into the city.

Then let’s find an inn first.

Looking at it, it was generally okay. Originally, cities develop conveniently when a lot of people come and go. I looked around for prices and found an inn where the three of us could sleep.

It’s been a while since I’ve come to find an inn.

It wasn’t cheap at 10 coppers a night, but the facilities were good, so it didn’t matter.

“Darkie, give me the directive again.”
“Here.”

After unpacking, eating, washing, and coming out, I sat on the bed. Winia looked at the directive again and said.

“Hmm… rooting out heretics. Even if we have information, it seems difficult to just find them. It would definitely be great if she helped us. So, how is that succubus going to help us?”

That’s right?

Is she thinking of coming here?
How does she know my location?

She’s not stalking me, is she…?

I’ll find out when I wake up after sleeping.

The succubus race is a race that can enter dreams, so it’s easy to communicate with them. She didn’t come when I slept in the carriage, but it should be okay here.

ㅡThud, thud.

At that moment, something knocked on the window.

“O-oh!”
