The Otherworld Conquest Method of a Reincarnated Porter Chapter 144

Labyrinth City Iris

Chirp, chirp, chirp.

「Ahn, amazing, it’s amazing, Sei-kun, ahn, aah───」

Five days have passed since I came to this town. Even now, I’m still under the care of this house.

In these five days, the shyness and reservation that the woman showed towards sex in the beginning has completely disappeared, and we have been mingling every morning and night without a break. As if trying to comfort a widow, even now, I’m still pounding her gently from behind, but that should be enough, let’s try going a little harder.

「Huh?! Aahn, so rough, ahn, Sei-kun, it feels so good!」

Typical of a married woman, her private parts are soaking wet, and every time I shake my hips, her nectar overflows, soaking the sheets.

Sigh, what should I do? Having sex with her feels so good that I end up staying here longer than I should have. I’ve missed the timing to set off on my journey.

I shoot off my semen for the second time this morning inside her vagina, eat breakfast, and then do sword practice with the boy again today.

「Alright, you’re doing great. Your sword strikes have gotten a lot better. Let’s try having some spar.」

There’s no point in just learning the forms. In this world, actual combat is everything.

While I’m exchanging blows with the boy with wooden swords, with a break in between, until just before noon, the woman comes over. It’s time for lunch.

「Sei-kun, Son, lunch is ready… Huh, Dear?!」

「Hmm? Huh, Daddy?! Daddy~!」

An adventurer-like man is walking in our direction. The boy runs up to him.

Huh, seriously? It’s been a month since he went missing. From the looks of it, he’s in perfectly good health, and, how should I put it, it doesn’t look like he just barely made it back alive. What on earth is going on?

「Yay, Daddy, Daddy.」

「Dear, uwaaan, I’m so glad you’re safe.」

「Huh? What’s going on? By any chance, did the messenger not come? Tch, damn him.」

The woman also goes to the man, hugs him, and cries.

According to the man, as he was on an adventure with his comrades, they received an urgent escort request to a distant town. As he didn’t have time to go home, he paid a messenger to tell his family, but it seems that guy just took the money and didn’t do what he was supposed to do.

Well, at any rate, I’m glad her husband is safe. This is also a good opportunity for me to leave this town.

「Hmm? Who are you?」

The man notices me. The woman turns pale, blood drained from her face. It’s okay, no need to worry, I won’t say anything unnecessary. And I don’t think I’ll ever stop by this place again.

「Ah, I’m someone that’s in the middle of his journey. I had some free time, so I gave the child some sword training. Well then, I’ll get going now.」

「I see, it looks like my child has been in your care. What do you say about joining us for a meal?」

「Thanks for the offer, but I’m in a hurry to continue my journey after all, bye then.」

After a brief greeting, I have lunch at a random place, leave the town, and then start running towards the east.

As I thought, running on my own is faster than riding a horse. The fatigue is pleasant, and it’s also useful for increasing my skill proficiency in automatic recovery. In return, it makes me extremely hungry, but not only do I have plenty of money to spare, there’s plenty of food in my storage. So there’s no problem.

After running for about two hours, I arrive at a relatively large town. The map I have is a pretty rough one, and only has the larger towns shown. If the map is correct, this place should be Iris. When entering the town, I show the guard my porter’s card and am able to enter without any problems.

「Mr. Guard, am I right that this is Iris?」

「Yes, this is the labyrinth city of Iris.」

Heh~, so there’s a labyrinth here, sounds interesting. Let’s gather some information first.

I head towards the Adventurer’s Association and look around the reception desk. It’s just before evening, before the period of time when the place is crowded with adventurers who have just returned after finishing their work for the day, so the place is deserted. It looks like there are three receptionists. A young woman, a slightly older woman, and a slightly timid-looking, plump middle-aged man.

After some hesitation, I go up to the plump man and place a large silver coin on the desk. That’s because I judge that it would be better to go with someone with some experience.

「This is my first time in this town. I need some information about it.」

「Huh, you’re giving me this much?!」

「If you can give me some good information, I’ll give you some more.」

「Yes, yes. I’ll tell you anything you want to know. Now then, I’ll show you to a private room. This way, please.」

He’s a timid-looking, humble man. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, but I wonder if he can handle the adventurers, who are full of rowdy people. As I follow the man, I take a look at the other two receptionists, and find that they’re looking at me curiously. It’s as if they’re wondering, 「Why didn’t he call out to us?」. The more experienced the receptionist is, the better, so it can’t be helped.

When we get to the private room, I gather information about the town, the distribution of monsters and medicinal herbs in the surrounding area, and the labyrinth. There’s no information worthy of note, but the man treats me politely. Let’s give him an additional large silver coin.

「I see, got it. Also, do you know anything about the demonic dragon mountain range?」

「It’s said that you can gather high-quality medicinal herbs in the area around the demonic dragon mountain range. Well, the ranks of the monsters there are high, so only adventurers who are confident in their skills and are aiming to get rich quick go there.」

I’d love to get my hands on high-quality medicinal herbs, but depending on the monsters’ ranks, it might be ill-advised. Well, let’s try to go there and take a look at least. The scenery should be nice too, after all.

「How do we get to the Elven Country?」

「It’s just a rumor, but apparently, there’s a huge labyrinth beneath the demonic dragon mountain range. And it’s said that you can get to the Elven Country through there, but only the elves know where the entrance is.」

I see. Well, even if I do find the entrance, I probably won’t go there. Because if I do, I’ll be late to pick up Niinya.

「Got it. Is there anything else I should know?」

「Let’s see, I believe you should stay away from the slums. The Bartalis family that rules the area is pretty violent, after all.」

「I see. Let me know if you have any more information. You can keep this.」

「Eh, t, this much. Yes! I look forward to working with you from now on, too.」

I give him an additional large silver coin and then leave the association. If he thinks I’m a well-paying adventurer, he’ll actively offer me new information in order to get more money from me.

As I leave the association, I see the Porter’s Union across the street, so I decide to stop by while I’m at it.

When I enter the union, a group of adventurers are talking about something at the reception desk. It’s a harem party of one young man and three women. What an outrageously enviable guy.

「Can’t you do something about it?」

「Even if you say that…」

Is there some kind of trouble? Well, it’s not like I have any particular business in the union, so let’s just go back.

As I am about to leave, the receptionist calls out to me. It seems she has no intention of discussing the matter any further with the adventurers.

「How can I help you?」

「Oh, I’m a porter. I’m just thinking about checking out what kind of work you have here.」

「Huh?! You’re a porter? Can you take on my request?」

The male adventurer jumps into the conversation between me and the receptionist. Well, I guess there’s no harm in hearing out what he has to say at least.

「What kind of request is it?」

「Tomorrow we plan to challenge the labyrinth lord. I’d like you to carry our luggage. We’ll take the shortest route, so we can leave early in the morning and return by night. If your storage capacity is more than four barrels, what do you say about eight small silver coins as the reward?」

According to the information that I got at the Adventurer’s Association, the labyrinth in this town has a total of four stratums. The rank of the labyrinth lord is 24. I didn’t really have any intention of diving into the labyrinth, but he seems to be in trouble, so I guess I don’t mind helping him out. Watching how other adventurers work together will also allow me to learn one or two things. Alright.

「Yeah, sure. My storage capacity is more than four barrels. I’m also fine with that reward. Now, please give me more details about it.」

After completing the contract at the reception desk, we head to the inn they’re staying at. That’s because as we have to depart early in the morning tomorrow, we judge that it’d be better for us to stay in the same place.

When we arrive at the inn, we have a meeting on the first floor. It’s a pretty shabby, cheap inn. Well, for adventurers who work in the beginner’s labyrinth here, something around this level is probably just right.

「I’m Caliel. I’m an adventurer who is aiming to become a knight. These are Maisy, Lynn, and Mariette.」

Probably about the same age as Caliel, Maisy – a young, intelligent-looking, thick-browed, raccoon-faced woman – and Lynn – a slightly taller, fox-faced woman – used to work as maidservants in Caliel’s house. As for Mariette, who has light brown hair and blue eyes, she used to serve his predecessor as a maid, apparently. She is probably in her mid-thirties, and is quite the beauty, so much that she’s not suited to be an adventurer.

Let’s have him tell me his side of the story. It seems that Caliel was born into a knight family. Both of his parents met an untimely death, so right now he works as an adventurer with three women who used to be their servants.

Speaking of knight, there are two types of it. Knight as a job. And knight peerage, which is the lowest rank of nobility. Knight peerage is also known as retainer peerage, and they receive salaries and territory from the country or count family they serve, but it’s only for one generation and cannot be inherited. However, if their son is granted the job of knight, he will almost automatically be able to inherit it. The job Caliel was granted with is warrior, so he won’t be able to get the knight peerage unless he changes jobs to knight.

「When I reach level 30, I should be able to change jobs to knight and be granted the knight peerage. For that reason, I want to fight the labyrinth lord.」

「I see, but even if you reach level 30, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to change jobs, is there? Even so, are you okay with that?」

「Fufufu, Sei, listen. There are various conditions that determine whether or not you can change jobs. Among those, the most important one is…」

Conditions for changing jobs, is it? I wonder if there’s any skills that you need.

「…It’s genetic. My father was a knight who changed jobs from warrior, but my mother was a born magic knight.」

「Heh, that’s amazing.」

Hmm? For a moment, I felt that Mariette had a gloomy look on her face, but I wonder if it was just my imagination.

「Fufufu, I know, right? As someone of noble blood, I should definitely be able to change jobs to knight.」

If your parent is a magic knight, I think you’ll be granted the knight job at the coming-of-age ceremony, but well, whatever. There’s no need to ruin the client’s mood.

Since we are departing early tomorrow, we decide to have dinner and take a rest early today.

I lie down on the bed, but the room is small and the walls are thin. It’s to such an extent that I can hear the voices from the next room. Being a high-class young master, I am having trouble falling asleep, but then, I hear the voices of a man and a woman arguing next door. If I remember it currently, it’s Mariette’s room next door. Huh, by any chance, is there a rapist? Sure, Mariette is a little advanced in age, but she’s still quite the beauty. Alright, let’s beat him half to death.

「No, please stop, Caliel-sama.」

Huh? Caliel?!

I’m about to go into the next room to save her, but quickly stop myself.

Hmm, this, there’s the possibility that this is some kind of play. Mariette is a member of the same adventurer party and has served Caliel’s family since the previous generation, so she should have known Caliel for a long time. If she’s subjected to sexual violence every day, as expected, I don’t think she will accompany him in his endeavor. No, but, hmm, I don’t know.

「Ahn, no, I beg you, Caliel-sama.」

「Hahaha, as if you can match me in strength, here I come.」

「No, please… no───」

Following that is the sound of bed shaking violently, and a short while after, the room is dominated by silence.

「Phew~, that felt great, Mariette. Hmph, the gall you have to resist me every time even though you’re just a lowly older servant. You get to be embraced by me, someone of noble blood, so you should be grateful.」

「Hii, ugh, sniff…」

After that, with a slam, Caliel leaves the room.

Apparently, she really had it done to her against her will. Moreover, habitually so. But if that’s the case, why is Mariette accompanying Caliel in his endeavor? It seems that there are some kinds of circumstances I’m unaware of. Maybe she’s a slave. Either way, I can’t stick my nose into the affairs of other people’s parties. Once I’m done with this one request for tomorrow, I’m done with them.

I lay down on the bed and go to sleep to prepare for tomorrow.
