Hero Of Harmony

"Finally, I've returned!" Yelled Yuki with a large smile plastered on her face as she suddenly emerged from the forest, her loud voice stirring a few people awake.

Yawning, I opened my eyes and gently shifted Michelle, who was lying on my chest, so I could look at Yuki, who was raising her arms into the air in pure happiness.

"Shh, Yuki, it's still early in the morning. Also, where the heck have you been?" Stated Alexander curiously with a slight frown as he shushed Yuki before gently patting the spot beside him.

"Oh, sorry." Muttered Yuki apologetically as she glanced at Michelle, who was not awake before lying beside Alexander.

"Well, remember when I said I was dirty? I went to clean myself at the lake but got lost on my way back, so I decided to just sleep in a random area before continuing my search when I woke up." Remarked Yuki softly as she looked at Alexander, who nodded with an exasperated expression while touching all over Michelle's body underneath the blanket.

"You got lost? Are you joking with me, Yuki?" Asked Alexander as he blankly eyed Yuki, who nodded with a slightly shameful expression, causing him to sigh in annoyance.

"Well, on the bright side, now that I'm clean, we can make love for as long as we want!" Stated Yuki excitedly as she began to strip her clothes, though she frowned when she removed the blanket covering Michelle and Alexander, noticing he was inside of her.

"Don't pout now, Yuki, it's your fault for getting lost; besides, you really did not need to clean yourself; I still would've done it with you even if you were a little dirty; that's not going to be nearly enough to stop me." Remarked Alexander lightly with a mischievous smirk as he eyed Yuki, who clicked her tongue and grumbled under her breath.

"But I'm supposed to get your cock first." Muttered Yuki in annoyance as she folded her arms while glaring at Michelle and Alexander's connection, only for him to suddenly grab her large, plump butt, causing her to moan softly.

"You can't be first if you're not even there; besides, it's morning, Yuki; you've missed your chance; we'll have to wait until tonight; maybe this time, you won't forget to clean yourself." Stated Alexander lightly as he held Michelle by her butt before slowly standing up and entering the forest, heading towards the lake.

"~Ahh~ A-Alexander, n-not while we ~Ahh~ w-walking." Muttered Michelle softly as she wrapped her arms around Alexander's shoulders while feeling his shaft slightly poking inside of her with every step.

"Don't worry; we'll also do it at the lake; seeing Yuki naked got me really aroused." Said Alexander softly with a faint smile as he kissed Michelle's cheek and lifted her waist upwards before slamming her down on his manhood, causing her loud moans to resound throughout the forest.

Exiting the lake, feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated, I turned and looked at Michelle, who seemed quite exhausted as I had gone a little too hard on her like usual; though it's not entirely my fault; Michelle shouldn't be so sexy, she had a body that was made to satisfy men, and she did a damn good job at it.

'I still don't understand how her ex-husband found her ugly and fat. Was he really blind?' Mused Alexander in confusion as he looked at Michelle before walking forward and helping her out of the lake.

"Ugh, why do you always go so hard, Alexander? My body can't handle your strength; at this rate, I'm worried I'll die from having sex rather than old age." Remarked Michelle in slight annoyance as she glanced at Alexander while rubbing her back in pain, causing him to sheepishly rub his head.

"Well, whenever I hear you moaning, it kind of makes it hard for me to hold back. Besides, don't lie to yourself; I know you like it when I go hard; you just don't like dealing with the after-effects." Stated Alexander as he waved his hand, creating a breeze of hot air through his wind and fire mana, drying him and Michelle in mere minutes.

Michelle didn't like my response, as she gave a side glance before promptly ignoring me, causing me to chuckle as I got on my knees and had her sit on my shoulders as I pleased her with my tongue, at least until she was no longer annoyed with me. After drinking a serving of her tasty juices, Michelle and I returned to our campsite, though because we didn't bring any clothes, we were naked the whole way home, which oddly enough didn't feel uncomfortable for either of us.

I was used to walking around naked when living with Master, and as for Michelle, I'm just assuming it feels natural for her, given that she's an Elf.

'Speaking of Elf, I need to visit Master's Kingdom; after all, she was apparently a Princess. Hmm, would that technically make me a prince?' Thought Alexander with a curious expression as he and Michelle exited the forest and quickly put on their clothes, just in time for a certain person to emerge from the carriage.

"Ahh, how was your sleep, dear?" Asked Michelle with a lovely smile as she picked up Chloe in her arms.

Sitting beside Yuki, who seemed to be quite annoyed, I gave her a few kisses, hoping it would cheer her up, but it was marginal, causing me to sigh as I rested my head on her wonderful thighs that had just the correct amount of firmness.

"Next time, you won't suddenly leave, now will you?" Asked Alexander with a faint smirk as he pointed at Yuki, who clicked her tongue before reluctantly nodding.

We stayed sitting like this for some time; Lazuli, who was probably never actually asleep, and Soom awoke roughly an hour later, which prompted Yuki to stand up as she headed into the forest, looking for an unfortunate animal to hunt and release her frustration on. During this time, Soom and I spoke about Lazuli and whatnot, but there really wasn't too much to say, so he started informing me about the organization he had stolen those two metals from.

They were apparently called the Cult of Saparella; they were a collective group of people who worshiped the Goddess Saparella, the Goddess of Souls & Death. Of course, they were a cult and not a church since more people tend to associate death with evil, and who would want to go to an evil church?

'I bet Sparella is probably a super sweet lady who just wants to help souls pass into the afterlife.' Though Alexander lightly as he glanced at Soom before gazing at the sky.

The Cult of Saparella wasn't just a small cult; from how Soom spoke about it, the cult seemed to be quite large, and it wasn't something I'd want to go against, not any time soon, that is.

While Soom and I continued speaking, Yuki returned after half an hour carrying a large cat with Talis perched upon her shoulder. With breakfast having arrived, I scratched underneath Talis's beak before grabbing the large cat from Yuki as I began butchering it in the distance, away from everyone.

When I finished butchering it, I cooked breakfast for everyone, including Lazuli, even though I knew she wouldn't eat it, but it was fine, since Yuki definitely would. After breakfast was served, we packed our items and got back onto the road; the little break was nice, but we had a destination, and the longer we stayed out there, the longer it would take.

"It's been a little over a week since those assassins attacked, Soom; taking into account the time frame between the first time they attacked and the second time, they'll be here within the next couple of days, not to mention they'll be stronger." Remarked Alexander with a slight frown as he leaned against a tree and stared at the sunny sky before looking at Soom, who was standing beside him.

"Haa, I know. I've been dreading this moment; I just wish I could stay with my little girl for a little bit longer. It hasn't even been three months since she awakened." Stated Soom with a bitter expression as he lowered his head and looked toward the ground, wiping his tears.

"What do you plan to do? To be honest, if it were just me, I wouldn't mind helping you fend them off, although I'm skeptical whether we'd win or not. However, I'm not alone, and I'm not trying to purposely put Yuki, Michelle, or Chloe in harm's way; even if Yuki is strong, it's not something a lover would do." Said Alexander softly as he glanced at Soom while faintly shaking his head, causing him to chuckle.

"No, you don't need to do such a thing. I'm a selfish man, but even I have my morals." Said Soom lightly as he reached into the pocket of his robe before handing Alexander a space pouch, prompting him to raise an eyebrow.

"What is this? All of your wealth?" Asked Alexander jokingly, trying to lighten the atmosphere, only for his expression to stiffen with Soom nodded.

"Yes. It's not much, roughly twenty-two silver coins, but I'm sure you'll use it better than I ever will. It also contains everything necessary to fix or repair Lazuli if she's ever seriously damaged." Replied Soom lightly as he nodded while pointing at the space pouch in Alexander's hand.

"Um, I'm no mechanic or anything; I don't think I'll be able to repair Lazuli." Said Alexander hesitantly as he carefully held the space pouch while Soom chuckled.

"Don't worry, even a fool would be able to repair, Lazuli; besides, she'd be able to tell you how to anyways." Remarked Soom, his words causing Alexander to nod as he hesitantly tied the space pouch onto his waist.

"Why are you giving me this?" Asked Alexander curiously as he narrowed his eyes at Soom, who smirked before turning around and staring into the distance.

"Because… I'll leave tonight." Replied Soom firmly with a faint smile.
