Chapter 7: Reunion With Party Members
"What?" Still a bit dreamy, Raven stretched his arms and yawned. Which unintentionally gave them a view of the inside where Moxy was still lying butt-naked on the bed sheets. "The hell are you talking about?"
Their eyes now fixed on Moxy, they all held their breaths for a while. Slowly turning her gaze back to Raven, the eldest member of their groups–Erica finally broke the silence.
"By the goddess, did you really break your vow?!" Being the virgin priestess devout to the goddess, Erica was baffled by the sight. "Did you sleep with that girl despite knowing what it means? Now who will marry her?!"
"Erica!" Placing her hand before the priestess\'s mouth, Aria the muscular dark elf hushed her. "Being a virgin isn\'t everything you big-titted brainless bimbo!"
A tinge of jealousy could be felt in Aria\'s words, after all unlike Erica who possessed the supple body of a goddess with lush blonde hair, she had a chest more suited to a fairy. Not to mention her dark blue hair which refused to grow more than a few inches, made her look like a tomboy, especially with those defined muscles on her body.
"B-bimbo?!" Turning her sapphire blue eyes to Aria, Erica was blushing red in utter shame. "How dare you, you barbarian brute! I\'m a holy priestess of our goddess!"
"Shut up you two!" Her eyes blazing with anger, Mel shut their quarrel instantly. Then pressing a nail against Raven\'s chest, she pushed into him before asking. "Why the hell did you throw him out the window? And why did you spread those rumors about his—"
Growing suddenly hesitant in her words, Mel gulped down and shook that thought.
"Why did you do all that?!" Changing the question entirely, she glared at Raven, awaiting an answer.
But disinterested in justifying anything, the dark mage yawned once more. Lifting his head right after, he stared back into Mel\'s eyes and barked a response.
"Cause you people left me to die!" And to that the girls fell silent.
Reminded of that moment against a minotaur horde with their axes raised, a splinter of fear stabbed them through the heart. They all ran like cowards while Raven leaped towards the danger. Had it not been for his swift movements, one of those strikes meant for the Hero could\'ve ended them both. Instead, it only took one life, that of the dark mage in front of them.
As their minds wrapped around that reality, their hearts were enveloped in guilt. They ran while he charged straight to the Hero\'s rescue. Then after he somehow came back to life, they were more worried about putting the blame on his shoulders than welcoming him back to the party.
"Now, if you people will excuse me, I\'ll get dressed so we make our way to the adventurer\'s guild," scoffing at their guilt-ridden faces, Raven slammed the door shut.
With a bitter taste in his mouth left after the interaction, Raven knew he had to take charge of the party as soon as possible. So long as the Hero was the center of attention, anything he did would only make the rest raise an eyebrow at him. However, given their attitude towards him, he knew well enough that his new gift wouldn\'t be enough to get them on his side just yet.
\'A group of childhood friends turns into the Hero and his merry men...\' While getting himself dressed, his mind wandered to the past. Once when they were all young, their group dreamt of adventuring together, and although that dream came true, having one of them chosen as the Hero ruined the dynamic of the group. \'Just because he\'s the Hero everything he does has been gospel for these people. Even Erica who\'s a few years older can\'t calm her tits over his decisions.\'
His rage was fuelled by memories of the Hero\'s past mistakes. One of which landed them in that minotaur horde, which eventually led to his death. Thankfully, however, if his memory served him right, only Mel had a crush on the Hero and was close to him as a woman. So, the others were still going to be far easier targets to convince to be on his side in the beginning.
Planning his next move as he got dressed, Raven got ready not long after Moxy left his room. It still being early morning, the fox girl had managed to slip to her father\'s side without raising any suspicion. Even so, the scent of Raven\'s body would continue to flicker through her every inch of her skin.
In the meantime, the group of girls gathered by the Hero\'s room. Having locked himself inside, the Hero refused to leave for the adventurer\'s guild. However, in reality, he was afraid that Raven had told Mel about the lewd portrait of her he was using for sexual relief.
"Amedith, open the door we have to leave for the guild!" Banging on the door, Mel kept trying to get the hero to open it.
Standing behind her with a look of frustration, both Erica and Aria cast each other a knowing gaze. How could a guy come out of his room after an embarrassing event like that? They both thought, although their lips remained sealed. Exploring the thought further, Aria was still in shock that the hero\'s dick was not a monster like she\'d imagined, but more like her slim pinky.
Looking at Mel\'s back with that thought running in her mind, Aria shook her head as though consoling him from afar.
\'Let\'s just hope that\'s enough to satisfy you Mel, or else who knows what scandal comes out of your love story.\' She thought, right as Raven walked up beside them.
"Is he still in there?" He asked, his eyes frowning.
"Y-Yeah..." Aria stuttered, reminded of the sight from the morning.
Rolling his eyes in response, Raven had Mel step aside before moving to the door himself.
"Oi, open up or I\'m gonna spread more rumors about you!" To those words of tease, the sound of the Hero\'s steps from within; came rushing towards the door. And before the door even opened, Raven turned to the girls and bowed like an artist. "And that\'s how it\'s done."
Following his tease, the door flung open.
