## Chapter 619 – Basilisk Hunt

I took out all the sacks I had neatly folded in my backpack and filled them with the head, heart, and liver. I put all the large claws into the backpack.

“Pangpangrehu.”

In an instant, the luggage became plump.

It was quite large, so I had to carry it all.

The basilisk’s massive corpse would be left unattended for a while, but unless they were prepared professionals or skilled individuals, they wouldn’t be able to take it all.

Who would bother taking all the scales and hide?

In the first place, because of the rumors about the basilisk, there wouldn’t be many people traveling this road.

What worried me was another party that had come with the intention of hunting, like us. But no matter what, our job from now on was just to quickly go to the Adventurer’s Guild and call in the merchant guild’s personnel. What else could we do? I was worried about theft, but there was nothing I could do about it for now.

The merchant guild would be eagerly waiting, so they would come right away if we called.

They wouldn’t want their merchandise to spoil either.

“Claudie, can you get up?”
“Yeah… I’m sorry. I got too excited.”
“Hehehe, what are you sorry for?”

Claudie’s face was still flushed. She seemed a little too excited, so I should take extra care of her when we get back.

Anyway, she grabbed the sack containing the heart and slung it over her shoulder.

Winia carried the sack containing the liver, and I carried the sack containing the head while wearing the backpack. It was big, but not very heavy.

I was more worried about Winia.

“Winia, isn’t it heavy? If it’s heavy, just wear the backpack. I’ll carry that.”
“Giggle. It’s okay. It’s nothing. Anyway, we have to go quickly. We need to call people before something starts to gather around the corpse.”
“Let’s go.”

We picked up the pace and started our return.

It didn’t take long to kill the basilisk, so we were able to arrive in the city at a suitable time, though it was a close call.

“Claudie, Winia, take these and go home first. I’ll go to the guild and call the merchant guild.”
“Don’t you need to take the head to show them?”
“These claws are enough.”

I had promised to show the head to Karin first, so I couldn’t hand it over right away. And I needed to extract the brain for Risha to use, so it was better to put it at home for now.

“Katt, will you be back soon?”
“Hehehe, I get it.”

I gave Claudie a kiss on the forehead, and her face became dazed as she hugged me.

Why is she so cute? I’m going crazy with arousal right now.

“Kkamdong-ah? What about me?”
“Come here.”

I gave Winia a kiss as well and then sent them off. Let’s finish this quickly and go back. I went straight to the Adventurer’s Guild and shouted confidently.

“Basilisk subjugation complete!!! Please call the merchant guild people!!”

At those words, everyone inside was startled and whispered among themselves.

“What, what!”
“A basilisk?”
“That guy…?”

An employee who heard my voice approached me.

“You’ve defeated the basilisk?”
“Yes. Please call the person in charge of this.”
“Ah, alright.”

The employee went up to the second floor, and I put down my backpack and sat down to rest for a moment.

Other adventurers glanced at me and whispered, and then some of them came up and asked if I really killed it, so I showed them the full backpack.

“These claws…!”

Surprised, they touched their chins and looked at me with interest. Soon, someone came down from the second floor of the guild, and I followed him up and went into the office.

As soon as I entered, I put the backpack in front of a middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge.

“Oh, you’ve caught the basilisk? We’re very much in your debt.”

If my memory wasn’t wrong, this guy was the one who gave me the reward when I brought the nest core of the killer wasps last year. I immediately opened the backpack and showed him the claws inside, saying,

“Hehehe, we’re just doing it to make money. It’s not a debt. Here, these are the basilisk’s claws. Aren’t they huge?”
“Indeed… big and sturdy.”

He carefully examined the claws and then looked at my face, asking,

“But where’s the head? We need that to give you the reward.”
“I’ve kept it separately for personal reasons. More importantly, the corpse is lying over there. Shouldn’t you call the merchant guild personnel? Monsters will come to pick at it.”
“Of course, we should. Wait a moment.”

The middle-aged man called an employee and told him something.

It seemed like he was telling them to call the merchant guild people quickly. Well, the claws were enough as evidence.

As I sat there and waited, talking about the basilisk, a merchant guild representative came in, having been contacted. After a brief greeting, I showed him the claws.

“Are those the basilisk’s claws?”
“Yes.”
“Hoo… indeed. But where’s the head?”
“I’ve kept it separately. But first, I think you should send people to take care of the corpse.”
“Of course, we should!”

The merchant, smiling, took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

He roughly wrote a certificate stating that the basilisk had been completely defeated and that the reward would be paid as soon as the head was handed over. As he said, the merchant guild would buy the corpse at a price.

“Of course, you can refuse if you don’t like the price.”
“If you give me a satisfactory price, I’ll hand it all over to you.”
“Hahaha. Thank you.”

From now on, the merchant guild’s workers would leave to dismantle the basilisk’s corpse.

He said it would probably take all night.

Because of that, he said he would hire adventurers as escorts on the spot and asked me to accompany them, but I just decided to see them tomorrow.

It seemed like I could check in front of the city gate in the morning and write the sales contract.

After finishing the work, I returned home, and all four of my wives were already gathered in the basement, observing the basilisk’s head.

It felt somewhat pagan, but anyway, Karin, who turned to look at me, shouted in surprise.

“Hey! You caught this alone? Really? No, I heard it from Claudie, but… this is bigger than I thought?”
“Hehehe, you already heard? Yeah. I just killed it. It was pretty easy.”
“How on earth did you catch this alone?”
“You could catch it alone too, right?”
“No, of course, I can catch it, but our husband…”

Karin touched my face and continued,

“Did I underestimate you a little? No, that can’t be it. Well, sparring is different from real combat, but…”

That would be true.

Even if I got my skills measured by Karin, it would be sparring, which is different from real combat.

“Catching something like this alone… even decent knights probably couldn’t do it…”
“Is that so?”
“Hmm, I don’t know for sure since I didn’t see it directly. Anyway, you brought the head as I asked? Kyahahaha, good. Thank you.”
“Ack.”

Karin put her arm around my neck and pressed my face into her chest.

Where else in the world would there be such a happy headlock?

As I was doing that, Risha, who had been waiting, came up and said,

“Hehehe, you’ve worked so hard. Weren’t you tired?”

Her smiling face was truly beautiful.

“What’s tiring? It wasn’t tiring at all.”
“It’s so good to see you full of energy. And thank you for getting the heart as I asked.”
“Hehehe, if Risha asks for it, I have to give it to you.”
“Really, those words touch my heart… hmm. Anyway, what should I give you as a reward? Tell me what you want.”

I asked her to let me milk her breasts as usual.
There are few things more fun than hitting Risha’s butt while milking her breasts.

“Hehehe, do you like my breasts that much? But I’ll let you do that anytime you ask. Tell me something else you want.”
“That’s the best. I’ll take that. Huh? Risha.”
“Really… I understand. Anyway, now that you’re here, let’s start the work.”
“Work?”

Risha went to the table and started touching the basilisk’s head.

“I was waiting for Katt to come.”

Claudie said.
It seemed like they were waiting for me to show me something.

“Claudie, are you okay?”
“Yeah… but I can’t stand it at night. More than that, Risha is going to show us something fun.”
“Ah, you mean extracting the brain?”
“Yeah.”

She said she needed the brain.

“Now, let’s begin. Watch my skills carefully.”

ㅡSararak.

As Risha gestured, a black aura descended from the air and formed the shape of a hand. A hideous hand like that of a demon.

It was magic I had seen before.

Instead of using that hand, Risha brought her fingertip directly to the basilisk’s head. Then ㅡPatsutsut. A blue flash, like welding, occurred, and the hard skull began to be cut.

As if being burned by a laser.

When the skull was completely cut, the black hand waiting in the air came down and took out the brain inside with a very clean motion. It was a light motion, like scooping water with your hands in a washbasin.

The work of extracting the basilisk’s brain was over.

We were all just watching it.

“Hya, a real witch is a witch.”

Karin licked her lips in admiration.

“Risha Unnie… really. Wow, it’s so amazing.”
“Yeah, it is.”

Winia and Claudie also said a word each.

“Hehehe, how was it? I wonder if it was entertaining.”
“Risha is the best!!”
“Aah, s, suddenly putting your hand in my chest…!”

As I admired and put my hand into her bra, Risha, blushing, quietly scattered the black hand.

Anyway, we took good care of the head, brain, heart, and liver. If I take the head and certificate to the city gate tomorrow morning, I’ll be able to get the money on the spot. Today, I’ll be busy touching my wives.

Especially Claudie, I won’t let her sleep until morning.

“Father.”
“Hmm?”

As I was doing that, Ari, who was examining the basilisk’s head, said.

“Father, do you always fight monsters like this?”
“Not always. But I fight often.”
“It’s dangerous… can’t you do something else? You might get hurt…”

Her tone was very worried.
Her face was also deeply troubled, and she seemed quite anxious.

“I’m scared that Father will get hurt.”
“Hehehe, are you worried about me? Our Ari is so kind.”
“K, kind…”

As I naturally stroked her head, a smile began to form on Ari’s lips. Ari always smiles as if she’s in a good mood when I touch her even a little, and she tries to hug me.

There was no reason to refuse, so I put my arms around her waist.

“That’s right, husband.”
“Hmm?”
“If the work is done, should we go see the Deathworm corpse? I have time, and Risha is okay with it too. Um, I really want to see the Deathworm corpse, okay?”

I was going to talk about it after the work was done, but Karin said it first.

“Kkamdong-ah, I want to see it too.”

Winia also conveyed her intentions to me.
If my wives want to see it, of course, I have to take them.

“Then shall we leave tomorrow? I think we can just get the money in the morning and go, no, let’s prepare tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow. Karin, is that okay?”

When I said that, everyone nodded.

“Katt, what about Ari?”
“Ari?”

There was nothing particularly problematic.

“I have to take Ari too. I can’t leave her alone at home.”
“Father? Where are you going?”
“Another village. To see the monster I killed.”
“Another village… is it okay for me to go so far…?”
“Of course, it’s okay. Why can’t you go?”

In the first place, Ari had gone out with my wives a few times to buy clothes and stuff. Risha had already magically installed a safety device, so no one would be able to recognize her as a monster.

Who else in the world has ever seen an Alraune?
There’s no one who would recognize her.

More than anything, her appearance is very different from the Alraune I killed back then.

“Hehehe, I’m happy, Father. Yes. Let’s go together.”
“Yeah, we have to go together. Anyway, let’s get the money and prepare tomorrow. Ah, but the village there doesn’t really have any places to visit. There’s nothing to see besides the Deathworm, are you really okay with that?”

When I asked that, my wives all said it was okay.

“There’s a Deathworm, what else matters?”

In the first place, everyone just seemed to want to see the Deathworm.

I guess I’ll just rent a big carriage and drive it myself. I’ll pack clothes and stuff and come back after looking around for a day.

The day after tomorrow, our big family will be going out together.

“Then Katt…”

As I decided, Claudie grabbed my wrist.

I should hug her soon.

“Let’s wash first.”
“Mama will wash you.”
“Hehehe, I think I need to wash too.”

Claudie and Risha said seductively, and Karin and Winia also naturally said they would wash me and went up to the first floor.

“Father, me too…”
“No, Ari can’t.”
“…I don’t want to be alone.”
“Ah.”

And so, I entered the bathroom with five women from our house.
If only Liz Nuna was here, it would be the best.
