5 Goodbyes!

Tadao sat in Mikael's and Jakson's guest room with his status menu open. The small window was also open, and the breeze was cool. The nighttime ambiance of crickets filled the air as he took a look. The party has just returned from the expedition to the dungeon. The Hilt of the Demonwright sword was recovered, and is currently with Etsuo. Apparently, taking down the Salamander raised his level by a whopping two! Now at level three, his fireball has a bit more oomph to it now! But that was about it. He suspected that it was because he barely put any work in compared to the others in his party.

He clenched his fist and slammed the table. He was supposed to be the big hero. He was supposed to protect his mom with his OP powers. Was this what his late dad would've wanted for them? He sighed. This would be their last stay with the mercenaries since their contract was over and "payment" was received. He closed his eyes, remembering the time he tried to fight back…but failed. "This isn't how it's supposed to be…" he said, gritting his teeth.

Suddenly, Tadao's ears perked up as he heard the creaking of a bed and the loud, satisfied moans of a mature woman come from the wall. The room next door is Mikael's and Jakson's room. Tadao froze. Etsuo said that she would be talking to Mikael and Jakson for a bit, and told Tadao to stay put in the guest room. He thought about stopping them, but sat back down. His mom has become a toy for men much stronger than he is. At the same time, ever since Etsuo got violated before his very eyes, he has gotten somewhat used to it. She is not really getting hurt, and she looks like she's having fun. Plus, she has the ability to take the skills of men who finish inside her.

He slumped on the chair and unbuckled his belt. There was nothing he could do really. Well, nothing but have a little fun on his own.

"Aye, be careful sweetheart." Mikael said with his arms crossed, "Don't want to see a beautiful woman like you get hurt without us." he and his brother were standing and the back end of a cart with a white cloth roof. There were two strong horses with reins, tethered to the cart. The morning sun was bright and warm.

"Thank you sooo much Mikael!" Etsyo cooed, "You too Jakson~." She couldn't see Jakson's smile due to the mask, but could tell from her motherly intuition.

"I heard the capital is very strict with mercenaries like us, so we can't come with you." Mikael sighed. Tadao pulled out the map Baelz gave them and located the capital. By cart, it would take around three days. The dungeon nearby is said to have had been littered with treasure, hence why the capital was built there. Though, there has been no mention about another DemonWright sword piece besides the map.

"We'll come visit when we're done!" Etsuo smiled, her face lighting up, "right Tadao?"

"Huh? oh yeah."

"Be a good boy and listen to your mommy okay?" Mikael snickered. Jakson let out a chuckle at his brother's joke. Tadao's blood pressure rose, and was planning on squaring up to the men, but he knew he would easily lose if he fought now.

"Yes, Mikael."

"That's Mr. Mikael. Don't forget that name."

Tadao looked away. "...Mr. Mikael.

"Are y'all ready to head out?" Yelled a man in a gray beret. It was the driver of the cart.

"Oh! One more thing." Etsuo jumped out of the cart and gave Mikael and Jakson a deep hug. The two closed around them and almost sandwiched here. After that, she waved and hopped back into the cart, "Say bye to them Tadao!"

Tadao also waved, but with a stoic, tired face. The men only responded with an overpowering stare.

"Ok Driver man! Let's go!" Etsuo cheered as she grabbed Tadao's arm and brought him close to her bosom. She would always do this when he was a kid, but now it felt a little different. The breasts that once nursed him were fondled by two sex-crazed men. Does he really have the right to be comforted by them?

The cart driver whipped the horses, and they were off. The town slowly got smaller and smaller as they went further away. Tadao eyed his mother waving to the men as they left. As their first adventure passed, a new one was about to be born. To the capital!
