And just like that Stage 1 has ended and stage 2 is starting. Sekai pondered to himself, what do I have to do? I have nothing to go on; Alicia was very vague with the line.
"You're amazing Sekai!" Ninya proclaimed yet again. "What will the proclaimed hero do?" Fury asked, out. Yes, exactly what to do. Usually quests come immediately after, so what's next?
Suddenly Prince Will and Princess Clau rounded the corner. "As expected of the brave hero. Not only did you save me but also goblins menacing our lands. What a true hero." "You call the likes oof him a Hero? I will never see him as a-" Sekai paused time right as Princess Clau disdainfully spat out her line.
He slid down her white soft cotton panties and put his nose close up to her glistening vagina. "This is just the best!" He rubbed his nose up and down, feeling her get a little wet down there. "Oh no, hands have a mind of their own!" He pulled up her shirt, resting the shirt part to the mountains on her boobs and tweaked, pinching her nipples... "Her cold icy look." He left head to rub in her soft melons.
"It's so much sexier with her icy, hateful glare, the eyes perring at me like I'm some disgusting waste of space. I mean no man can't tell me they never once paused a game to see how the camera guy's angle was on a beautiful girl." He nuzzled his face in her boobs. "These, to be so firm, yet so bouncy, they defy what logic they should have." Sekai bounces her boobs up, one barely fitting in each hand, they are so big.
"This tsundere facade will crack, so me liking her meanness doesn't make me a masochist, does it? Eh, who cares!" Sekai fixed her clothes as best as he could. "I really should resume time."
He resumed the time as Clau kept talking. "I don't accept the likes of you. I will never see you as the Hero." Prince Willam interjected "Clau that's rude." Sekai waved his hands dismissively. "Don't worry I get it. I don't wear armor, nor my stature looks like I'm Hero-worthy." William grimaced hearing this as Princess Clau continues.
"Your lies will surface and expose you for the fake and the cheat that you are-oh?" Clau rubbed her hands first on her shirt, feeling a rustling of her clothes. Showing an almost mortified face, her hands traversed from her shirt, down to her stomach and resting on her nether regions and she quietly whimpered. She was wet down there. "Well anyways." She turns away. "I have o-other matters to attend to." She stammered, embarrassed. "With this brother..." She whimpered again. "I'll take my leave."
Skei watched as she left. Did she enjoy the nipple play? I wonder if she felt it. "Hero Sekai, with you solving both the golem's case and goblins, there are no country entrusted cases at the moment. "Does that mean civilians are solving problems too?"
"Yes, and possibly other adventurers." William spoke up. There's a guild out there, called the Deception guild. They been racking up on the cases to better help out the country." Ninya then excitedly added her input. "Sekai, if you go there, you're bound to get a case to complete!"
As Sekai, Fury and Ninya said their goodbyes to Prince William, they traversed the town as they came in front of a big building. "You know when they use a word like guild, you'd expect a classy venue where adventurers and merchants alike gather together, but this?"
"Yes, this is more like a huge bar-like tavern where people gather to eat and drink their problems away." Sekai smiles as in his hometown; this is all too common. "It's like they're compensating for something." Fury was impressed Sekai had done his research. "So, you already knew about it?"
In the same instance, a swords-master name Leafa was inside doing her own investigation. This is the same guild, I came to a few days ago. Looking around, these guys are way too weak. However... She thought looking at the quest board. I mean, what is this? She pulls a notice off the board.
Seriously? Capture 10 chickens? Find someone's lost wife? Just like what I heard. BellTree is a peaceful country with no monsters, or at best rare. which is why... She scans the area. Everyone is weak, TOO WEAK. Hey, before you judge me, just know, I'm not making a shallow pretense, or even trying to be mean. After getting to my training, I have become a master swordsperson. And this next part is hard to describe in mere word, but I can feel out aura, emanating from them, simple from their posture.
Is this the most difficult quest they got for me? It's unsatisfactory for a world master swordsperson, but I came here to investigate and to bide my time to find out... who here had the audacity to take my sword, and strip me!
Suddenly a big buff man comes to Leafa. "Oh, hi cuteness." He grinned smugly. "Looking for a quest, the one you grabbed is too difficult that no one has touched it in over a year. How about you capture the 10 chickens. that'd be more your -" As he was talking, Leafa shook her head. To judge simply by appearance, such a shallow act, wait that tattoo on his top right shoulder? Could it be? She unsheathed her sword, cutting off his shirt "-Speed." He finished before realizing he was in public half naked. "Never mind." She said out loud "Just a centipede tattoo, I killed harder teddy bears." She stated.
As the buff man stood there, shocked on the act that had just transpired, Leafe continued. "If you were a master swordsman, and can judge by aura and posture alone..." She said passing him, heading to the bar. "You would've thought. STRONG. SHE'S TOO STRONG!"
She pays for a drink and takes a sip. However, there is one thing I must be wary about. At the inn, my sword vanished and then minutes later it was returned to me. AS IF THAT WASNT BAD ENOUGH, I WAS LEFT SHOWING MY GOODS TO ALL THE INNSFOLK.
Suddenly the bell chimed, saying the guild door was opening as she peered at Sekai, Ninya and Fury entering. She heard Sekai talking "Wow Fury for you to know the skill not just like a guess, but exact. For instance, Clau, you knew she had embedded a lightning sword augmentation skill. How?" Fury smiled, fluttering her ears like how a butterfly flaps its wings. "Well, I have sharp ears. I heard her mutter it under her breath.
Leafa looked at Fury. She's a dark elf; I can tell there's great power coming from her. Also, since she's a first-class mage definitely summoning and black magic. She peered at Ninya. She looks light on her feet, a great thief. But neither of them have the erasing presence so I couldn't sense their approach. Even if the master thief came at me, fully intoxicated, I could easily stop her. But who is this guy? He looks like common townsfolk.
Suddenly watched the buff guy she almost disrobed trip Sekai. "Oops I'm currently in a bad mood and caught you!" Sekai appeared behind him. "Well, that's fine and all but you really should be doing it with pants on." Leafa and the buff guy saw he had no pants on, just his tighty-whities.
"HEY, WHAT YOU DO TO OUR BOSS!" A female yelled as she and another male henchman got out of their seats. "Now you'll have us to deal with." She finished. "Wait, Ami, you know what I'm just remembering? There was a guy who can apparently moves FTL..." As the male was talking, Sekai disarmed the female leaving her 100% naked in front of a bunch of people. "Who can disarm."
"What why didn't you say this BEFORE!" She huffed trying to cover her big boobs with one arm as the other covered her lady parts. "He's the same guy who defeated the sandworm in one move. You can't win." He spoke.
"There goes Sekai, being the worst pervert again, Stripping girls." Ninya said already expecting it. "Hey, I just evaded bloodshed, didn't I?"
The men in the guild clamored, "Oh WOW NICE ASS" "Do you see the rack above?" "As expected of the Hero." Leafa looked, What just happened? He took their clothes off, in an instant?
She was now interested. Leafa walked to Sekai, as Sekai was viewing the quests notice how peaceful the town must be. She appeared behind Sekai, right as he was thinking that none of these quests will be a stage clear.
"Hello mister, if you're looking for a quest, I think the one I took is the most suitable." She said, holding the quest paper in her hand. "Oh, hey you're a Swordmaster!" Sekai blurted. He remembered borrowing her sword to defeat the sandworm.
"You know who I am, even out here?" She quizzed. Sekai paused realizing he messed up. Dang, I messed up. She might know I took her sword. Even though I was careful to repair it and sharpen it. I put it back in her hilt, but when I stripped her bare, looking at her huge Gonzagas, I forgot to dress her properly
Leafa looks at his posture knowing immediately from just that. "Now I know. It was you. You took my sword and undressed me. Sekai had a bad feeling, with his hand on controller in his coat pocket, he realized he needs to stop time. He hit pause as Leafa's blade swiped right into Sekai's side, a deep cut. "Wow, no hesitation!" Sekai fell to his knees. Right when I stopped time, she moved a bit faster than my trigger finger could tap pause! Luckily Leafa was paused. Sekai went to a church, went in and resumed time a bit for the healer to help him.
"Oh, he scurries fast, like a rat. No matter, that cut was fatal." She spoke. Fury and Ninya looked shocked. Was Sekai dead?
At the same instance, Sekai had gone to the Church, looked up the cleric's skirt at her bright orange polka-dot panties, and then resumed time, letting the cleric try to heal him. Fury notified to Nina that Sekai the attack and they will only find a corpse.
"I see. Now I know how to deal with you," Sekai's grin as he appeared behind Leafa. "Now, it's my turn. GROPE RETALIATION!" Sekai massaged, squeezed and pinched her boobs.
"You are an idiot, you came back?" Leafa chanted a fire spell, Muda DA... and reached for the sword, but it was nowhere to be found. She then looked down to see herself fully naked. "My disarm spell. Did you really think you had a chance against me?" Sekai laughed, almost evilly. "Now be obedient or... GUHH!" Sekai barely stopped time as Leafa dealt a critical hand chop to Sekai's nose. "Omg and I JUST HEALED." He pulled her panties down looking at her glistening pussy. "You are effing KIDDING ME!"
Sekai recalled the cleric only able to do minor healing, how Sekai paused time and went to the shop, bought bandages, medicine, herbs, made minor potions, sewed his side and rested for weeks. Now he's gotta do it again?
After Sekai waited more weeks to heal his nose, he resumed time bowing on the floor respectfully to Leafa. "I'm sorry." He started. "To a master like yourself the sword is a part of your soul. I'm sorry for now asking to borrow your sword. I had a tough fight, and 'no other sword was sharp enough.
Leafa saw her clothes back and sword in its original position. She also saw Sekai was fully healed from side attack and her chop. His aura, his posture is now back to the commonfolk. He exudes an air that is no stronger than a goblin's aura. This man had my weak point, and if he didn't talk could've ended me. But now he's on his knees. If it were any other swordsperson, or me, that slight drop, I'd have taken it. I feared an invisible sword, drawn quickly, faster than anyone can see. His movements... are faster than mine?
Leafa grimaced. Faster than mine, no way! Leafa then panted, No way, he actually is faster... She moaned Someone is faster than me. Sekai looked up expecting a punishment and saw her eyes crossed. "Are you okay?" Omg Sekai is DENSE.
A man faster and stronger than I am. I'm aroused. This is unprecedented. "You're forgiven for now, but there still will be a challenge coming up, when you least expect it." "Wait, really?" Sekai asked.
"Yes, I speak only the truth. I will also give you this quest." She hands Sekai the quest. "You probably already know it, but I'm Leafa, and you?" "Sekai Kuzuno," he stated calmly and slowly standing up. "Sekai Kuuno. I'll remember that." She then leaves.
"Wow I never seen you apologize to any girl after stripping them. Did you do something BAD?" Ninya asked. "Well, sort-of, but I did it cause she's the prideful type, If I didn't prostrate before her, she'd be chasing me through every quest. It'd be such a burden. I shown that I was weaker so I should be left alone."
Fury contemplates how Sekai had a very serious gash wound and suddenly it's normal. "Okay Ladies I'm going to get these small annoying side quests out of the way, you two should totally get something to eat." Sekai vanished as Ninya and Fury sit at a table waiting for food. As it arrived Ninya was claiming how tasty looking the food must be as Sekai appeared. He was done doing all the side quests.
"NO WAY. We didn't even eat. It's only been 20 minutes." Sekai said, "Fine, we'll go when you're done eating." He paused time packed up the food, put Ninya and Fury on a cart and walked them to the towers.
