Hero Of Harmony

After waiting in line for nearly twenty minutes, we finally entered the city with ease, and let's just say Chloe had an absolute field day that we'd finally reached our destination; however, first things first, we needed to find an Inn. Now, finding an Inn in such a large and prominent city wasn't difficult as there were many Inn's around; the problem was, they were decently more expensive than any Inn I'd lived in, which wasn't good, but since I didn't know how long we'd be staying in one, I figured it would be best to splurge a little bit, and so I did, though of course, I asked Yuki, Michelle, and Lazuli first, not like Lazuli really seemed to care in the first place.

With Yuki and Michelle's input, we settled on a somewhat expensive Inn, which was eighteen copper coins a night, nearly four times as much as I'm used to, but the price wasn't unjustified, as we had a massive room on the topmost floor with three bedrooms along with our own bathroom and kitchen inside of it.

"Woah, this is beautiful." Muttered Michelle with a faint smile as she walked around the room with Chloe following her while Alexander plopped onto a random bed, prompting Talis to land on his chest.

"Hmph, it better be beautiful for how much we're paying." Said Alexander with a grunt as he glanced at Michelle before looking at Yuki and Lazuli entering the room.

"Eh, yeah, this place is beautiful." Said Yuki with a nod as she did a quick look around before approaching Alexander, while Lazuli did the same.

"It's so big!" Yelled Chloe with a smile as she ran around the rooms while spreading her arms, causing Alexander to faintly chuckle.

While Michelle did a little exploring, I glanced at Yuki, who was to my right, staring at Lazuli to my left, causing me to wince since I knew she would ask me about Soom eventually, and I would be forced to tell her the truth. However, once that happened, Yuki would definitely try to kick Lazuli out once she realized Soom wouldn't ever come back, yet I couldn't just kick Lazuli out; she wouldn't last long in the world.

'Ugh, what the hell am I supposed to do? Zartha, Trina? Don't you two have some advice for me?' Asked Alexander with a frustrated sigh as he closed his eyes while rubbing his face.

"You can't have the cake and eat it too, Master." "Um, I-I don't know." Said Zartha and Trina, respectively, as they looked upwards, causing Alexander to sigh once more.

While I was feeling stressed out about how I was going to deal with Yuki and Lazuli, I heard Michelle return to our room before sitting on the foot of the bed, prompting me to open my eyes as I glanced at three beautiful women surrounding me on each side of the bed, which, I will not lie, helped ease the stress I was feeling.

"What must we do now, Alexander? This place is nice, but we can't stay here forever; we'll need to buy a house or rent one." Asked Michelle as she looked at Alexander while Yuki nodded in agreement.

"She's right; this Inn is too expensive to stay at for long." Said Yuki lightly while kneeling before the bed as she glanced at Michelle before looking at Alexander, who sat upright.

"Yeah, I figured that part out pretty quickly; we can't stay here for too long; just five days alone will be nearly one silver. That's far too much for the current us." Remarked Alexander with a nod as he furrowed his brows while staring at Yuki, who tilted her head, causing him to suddenly kiss her before standing up.

"Cute. Well, I doubt we'll be able to buy a house any time soon, so renting is probably our best option for now, which kind of sucks, but it is what it is; better than being eaten alive by the monsters rampaging through Hyphen." Added Alexander with a smile as he poked Yuki's nose before standing up and stretching his body while looking at everyone.

"Yeah, much better than the alternative." Muttered Michelle with a wry expression as she nodded in agreement before glancing at Yuki, who was faintly blushing.

"I don't want to waste any time as that's just more money to pay, so do you want to check out the house right now, Michelle, or do it tomorrow?" Asked Alexander curiously as he glanced at Michelle, who was slightly taken aback before nodding.

"N-No, right now is fine; I could use the chance to get a little exercise in, I feel like I've gained some weight during this past month." Replied Michelle with a nod as she stood up while grabbing her stomach, only for Alexander to smirk as he slapped her butt.

"Heh, if you gained weight, it's going to all the right places, so don't you worry; I'm not complaining." Said Alexander with a smirk as he wrapped his arms around Michelle's waist and ground his crotch against her plump butt, causing her to faintly blush.

"L-Let me go shower; I haven't taken one in nearly three days; I feel dirty." Said Michelle softly with a faint blush as she pushed off Alexander before walking away, prompting him to slap her butt just as Chloe came running through, significantly deepening her blush.

"Eh, did Mom do something bad, Alex?" Asked Chloe curiously as she stopped running and looked at Michelle before glancing at Alexander, who smirked before nodding.

"Yes, Michelle was being a bad girl, so I had to punish her. Actually, as a matter of fact, I should go punish her some more in the bathroom; thanks for reminding me, Chloe." Replied Alexander with a nod as he gently rubbed Chloe's head while smiling before chasing after Michelle, who tried to lock him out, yet she was too slow.

"A-Alexander, w-wait; n-no, not now. ~Ahh~, d-don't ~Ahh~, s-so deep!" Said Michelle, her quiet voice echoing from beyond the bathroom door, prompting Chloe to listen intently.

"You've been a bad girl, Michelle, so I've got to punish you thoroughly." Added Alexander lightly as he whispered into Michelle's ear, only for a rhythmic clapping noise to resound throughout the bathroom, along with her moans, causing Chloe, who was eavesdropping, to widen her eyes.

"~Ahh~, i-it's too much! S-Slow, down ~Ahh~ Alexander! I-I can't h-handle it! ~Ahhh~ S-So rough!" Remarked Michelle, her pleasure-filled moans being mistaken for painful cries by Chloe while Alexander ravaged her insides with his cock.

"Hmph, lucky." Muttered Yuki with an envious frown as she folded her arms while gazing at the bathroom door.

"Hmm, is this sex?" Said Lazuli softly with a confused yet curious expression as she glanced at the bathroom door, while Alexander and Michelle's voices were drowned out by the water hitting against their bodies.

Currently, Michelle and I were walking through Cassandra, taking things slow as we took our time to get accustomed to our new home; though, she was quite upset with me right now because of what happened earlier in the bathroom.

"Okay, okay, I apologize, Michelle; it's my fault. I shouldn't have done anything with Chloe being right outside listening to us, but she only thinks I was punishing you, so it's not as bad as you're making it seem. Besides, she isn't technically wrong." Said Alexander apologetically as he wrapped his arm around Michelle's shoulder while kissing her cheek before whispering into her ear, causing her to ignore his every word.

"Just so you know, you can't pin this whole thing on me; you're also somewhat at fault; you weren't letting go; in fact, I nearly creampied you. Getting you pregnant wouldn't have been good right now." Remarked Alexander lightly as he eyed Michelle while poking her ample breasts, causing her face to twitch in annoyance.

"I kept saying stop." Replied Michelle as she eyed Alexander, who faintly smirked.

"You were saying that, but you actually want me to continue; don't lie to yourself. I would've actually stopped if you genuinely wanted me to, but someone couldn't get enough of me." Stated Alexander with a shake of his head as he lowered his head and gently bit her ear, causing her to faintly blush while scoffing in annoyance.

Chuckling at Michelle's anger with me, we continued walking down the streets of Cassandra, observing some of the houses that looked to be within our budget, which, for reference, was about ten silver coins, not that much at all.

'I really need to visit Master's office in the Mage Guild; she might've left some money just randomly lying around; she can be quite messy.' Thought Alexander lightly as he glanced at the house, only to wince when he saw a for sale sign in front of one.

"Michelle, does that say 15 fucking gold coins?" Asked Alexander with an unsightly expression as he eyed the sign while Michelle nodded.

"Yes. Yes, it does." Replied Michelle softly as she stared at the sign with a twitching expression.

The worst part about the house was that it was smaller than the one Yuki or Michelle owned, yet it was fifty percent more expensive; we weren't close to affording it, but it felt like I was being scammed.

"If that house costs 15 gold coins, how much would it be to rent? 20 silver coins a month? 25? 30?" Muttered Alexander with a curious expression as he and Michelle continued walking, their hopes having been drastically lowered.

"Haa, I don't know, but whatever it is, we most likely can't afford it." Said Michelle sadly, shaking her head.
