After explaining to Cecil about my plan, I went to the lodging. According to my map, one pink dot with Garcia's name and a blue dot with Isabelle's name were inside the same room.
I had prepared everything Cecil needed to play her part. Fortunately, she was willing to cooperate with me after I dominated her, and I didn't need to 'order' her to do it.
Looking at Scylla from earlier, it would take that monster a few hours before it arrived at Lima Port City. So far, everything had gone like how the event in Sins Paradise was.
And I was pretty sure Scylla would come to this city. The reason was simple.
'To target me, the first human she had felt, and to get revenge against humans.'
I didn't know what really happened in Sins Paradise's first event as it had been lost in my memory, but I was pretty sure Scylla wasn't the monster that attacked. I was pretty sure it was a monster called Charybdis.
'It could be that Crane ordered Scylla to call Charybdis back in the Sins Paradise, and the scary Scylla was still chained underneath that island.'
Whatever it was, it could mean I would need to fight 2 Boss-rank monsters at once. That was why I asked Cecil to do what she needed to do for me, and I would need Garcia in this fight.
The reason I purposely made my quest fail was to bait Scylla to this town too. And because I thought the magic item was Scylla transforming into a magic item, I didn't want to take any risk of holding it in my hand.
That was why I kept Crane alive in hope I could use Cecil to ask him to attack Lima Port City or I could just threaten him like what I previously planned, but… breaking the flute that was actually something to seal Scylla's tentacles was out of my expectation.
It didn't matter, though, as it seemed like Scylla's aggro was now focused on me and would try to find me. It was probably also thanks to the quest, but my plan could be continued right now.
And so I changed my clothes to a more comfortable and dry one and began walking.
"Hmm…?"
As I walked toward my lodging leisurely, the sky slowly brightened. The sun peeked from my right, casting a shadow over the cobblestone path on the slope.
Many fishermen and sailors had woken up from their night party and held their heads due to hangovers. Even so, they went to the port to work, walking in a different direction from what I took.
While they walked past me, I couldn't help but think that many of them would die if they went to the sea today. However…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'That's already taken care of.'
I just needed to focus on curing Isabelle's trauma and defeating Scylla with her.
Arriving at the lodging, I immediately went to Garcia and Isabelle's room. Both of them were still inside. I didn't know whether they were up yet or not, but they needed to move now.
So I knocked on the door.
"Garcia, are you awake?"
"Yes! Please wait a minute, Sir Arthur!"
A voice answered from inside, and loud footsteps rang afterward. She seemed in a hurry and just jumped out of bed.
Then the door opened. Emerging from it was Garcia, with sweat dripping down her face and neck to the temple. A white sheet draped over her shoulders was the only thing covering her body.
A familiar sweet, pungent smell of love juices tickled my nose. It came from her, and she just smiled widely at me.
'This girl… Did she just masturbate even though Isabelle is in the same room?'
From the open door, I noticed Isabelle was still sleeping on her nightgown. It was half-transparent, so I could see the dark blue lingerie she wore. Her taste in a nightgown was unexpectedly good, and it fit her image.
The problem here was Garcia. She looked at me innocently as if masturbating in a room where someone slept beside her was something normal.
Sighing, I couldn't help but wonder how brave this girl was. I knew she could use Illusion Magic to make herself like sleeping from Isabelle's perspective, but… I hoped she could hold back a little.
"Come to my room," I ordered.
Her face beamed with a really bright smile.
"And get dressed. I need to talk."
The glow of her smile disappeared instantly as I spoke in a serious tone. But Garcia was a good woman. So she understood that I didn't plan to have fun with her right now, and the thing I wanted to talk about was serious to the point I asked her to get dressed.
"Yes, Sir Arthur." She nodded in understanding. "Please wait a minute. I will get dressed and go to your room immediately."
"I'll be waiting."
Saying so, I went to my room and sat on the bed, waiting for Garcia.
Unlike any other woman, Garcia was quick and skillful in almost everything she did. For example, she woke up earlier than the others, though I doubted she even slept last night, and she was the most obedient girl whose need was only to satisfy her sexual desire.
However, even so, she never forced me to help her. She would beg, of course, but she never forced.
And this time wasn't an exception. Just after a few minutes, I heard footsteps approaching from the hallway. It stopped in front of my room, and then three knocks sounded.
"Sir Arthur, I am here as instructed."
"Enter."
As soon as I replied to the one outside, the door was pushed open, and Garcia entered.
The clothes she wore were the ones I gave her, and they still looked really good on her even though I had seen them before. She looked really sexy, and her breasts and hips swayed as she approached me.
"Please tell me your order, Sir Arthur. This servant will follow." She bowed at me with her hands in front of her crotch without asking anything.
I really liked Garcia. Especially this side of her who didn't ask many questions and just followed and trusted me.
So having her cooperate with me was easy.
When she raised her head, I began to speak, "I need your cooperation with something. It's for Isabelle's sake."
"What do I need to do?"
"It's simple," I smiled. "Did you remember your task from before, visiting some suspicious place and remembering where the thugs are hiding?"
"Yes. I found 8 spots where some… unpleasant people gathered and that knight." Garcia's face turned rather unpleasant when she mentioned Isabelle with 'that knight' instead of her name. "She suddenly disappeared before finding any, and I found her sleeping in the room afterward."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Hahaha. I know where she went, so don't blame her." I laughed lowly as I pulled Garcia and sat her onto my lap.
Her face turned red as her butt fell on top of my pelvis. My arms went around her waist, and I whispered.
"Are you by any chance jealous because I give Isabelle special attention, hmm?"
"N-Not at all. I don't dare to."
"It's okay."
I hugged her tighter, tracing her bare skin and side boobs with my hand. She shivered in pleasure and held her moan, which was pretty cute.
"You can get jealous as much as you want. But remember that I treat my girls the same, okay?"
"Hnn, I understand, Sir Arthur."
"Alright." I nodded, satisfied with her answer. "Then, I will leave this task to you. We will be going to play with water later, so prepare some swimsuits for yourself and Isabelle too."
"Yes~ Please leave it to me, Sir Arthur."
"Good girl," I said, turning Garcia around.
We locked gazes with each other for a while before I explained what she needed to do while I touched her body here and there. Her muffled moan overlapped with my explanation as she occasionally nodded with a red face. I knew she enjoyed it.
After we finished, Garcia actually climaxed once and wet my pants. She apologized, but I brushed it off without making it big.
When I asked her whether she needed to change her panties before going to her task, she replied that she didn't wear any panties to begin with and actually put them beneath her garter belt.
After she wore the fresh panties she didn't wear earlier, Garcia left the lodging, not forgetting to put an <Illusion Magic> so her appearance would appear normal.
As for me, I went to Isabelle's room, where she slept alone. This girl didn't change at all. She still had a hard time waking up.
Without saying anything, I took a bucket full of water from my inventory and… threw the water on the sleeping Isabelle.
Splash!
"Whaa?!" She shouted loudly, and <Night's Edge> suddenly appeared in her hand, pointing it at me. She looked confused, and her wariness went on full throttle.
But then, when Isabelle saw it was me who just threw water at her, she suddenly frowned deeply, displeased. "What do you think you're doing, Arthur?!"
"It's time to wake up, Princess," I replied, ignoring her shout. "It's another morning in the beautiful port city. Let's play with water on the beach, shall we?"
