Tales of Harem 3: Chapter 1 - Fivesome at Camp! The Harem Life Continues While on the Run!?

 The poorly maintained wagon’s wheels creaked even on this flat road.

But once you were used to it, the familiar rhythm could help you drift off to sleep.

After nodding off in the back, Naoki was woken by the sound stopping.

“Why’d we stop? We taking a break?”

It seemed too soon for that.

They had stopped for lunch only about an hour ago.

“No, look at that,” answered the elf named Llusse.

She leaned forward into the driver’s area to point out at the road ahead.

There was a campsite there

They were surrounded by an open field and this campsite was just as empty. It was only identifiable as a campsite due to the wooden boxes and other items scattered around the remnants of campfires.

“Looks like a caravan was camped here,” concluded Tianne, the nun seated next to Naoki.

“We might find something useful, so let’s take a look around, Hero.”

Filia, the swordswoman who led their party, hopped out of the wagon and made her way to the campsite.

“It only looks like junk to me,” said Naoki.

“We can’t be picky. Thanks to a certain someone,” said Llusse while hopping out as well.

“H-hey, you mean me, don’t you!?”

“Who else would I mean?”

“How many times do I have to explain that the princess was after me and I had no choice!?”
“Yes, yes. Just come help us!”

“Sigh…”

“I will join you. I hope we can find something,” said Tianne to help soothe him.

“Good luck.”

His servant Mila had already climbed from the driver’s seat and was pulling on the reins to tie the horse at the side of the road.

“Okay, fine.”

He gave in, shrugged, and followed after the insulting elf.

Llusse was right that they couldn’t be picky.

Back in Rechebourg, he had nearly been captured by Princess Marie for a scheme to abuse the Hero’s power, so they had been forced to flee the capital in a hurry.

They had spent a few days escaping through the wilderness. Eventually, they had stopped worrying about pursuit and returned to the roads.

However, the plan had been to depart with plenty of equipment and funding courtesy of the Lesdea Kingdom, but after skipping town with only the shirts on their backs, they had nothing at all.

Llusse didn’t even have her weapon or armor, so she was using a makeshift bow crafted out of a tree branch and wearing handmade chest armor (using materials taken from the cosplay costumes Naoki had brought with him).

Sadly, they did need to scavenge for anything they could find.

“Let’s see, is there anything of value around here?”

Naoki searched the scattered remains of the camp with the rest of his party.

But all the leftover boxes and barrels were empty, so they didn’t find anything worthwhile.

The most they found were some small bugs scurrying away when they turned over the boxes.

(To ho ho.)

He stared at his hands, horrified that the Hero meant to defeat the Demon Lord had been reduced to this.

Llusse did not miss his action.

“Quit zoning out! C’mon, carry that barrel for me!”

“Eh? But it’s empty.”

“We can still use it to carry cargo. It should come in handy soon.”

“Cargo? Oh, I get it!”

They had been hunting their food, but you could get more than meat from animals. They needed a place to store the animal fangs, claws, and hides that they could sell later on.

That’s what the barrel was for!
“If I look at it like an open world RPG, then this is really exciting!”

“You’re not making sense again! Just hurry it up.”

“Heh heh heh. These things are fun even if you do start out dirt poor!”

He had found a way to change his entire outlook on the situation.

Llusse gave him an exasperated look as he hummed and rolled the empty barrel over to the wagon.

“You’re weird!”

“I never knew barrels were so heavy.”

Once at the wagon, he tried to lift the barrel and ran into trouble.

He couldn’t lift it from below. He climbed into the wagon and tried pulling it up from there…but no luck.

He decided to call over to Mila who was tending to the horse.

“Hey, could you give me a hand?”

“Oh, Hero. Sorry I didn’t notice. I will load that into the wagon.”

“No, it’s fine! Just lift it up to me and I’ll- whoa!”

She easily lifted the barrel into the wagon.

“Wow!”

Animal people were a lot stronger than humans.

Mila was tall but otherwise looked just like a normal girl, but even she could do this.

“This is a simple task for me.”

“Man, that is incredible! I couldn’t lift it at all! Glad to have you around.”

“If you say so.”

She acted unaffected by his words, but her tail was wagging behind her.

That meant she was happy. He was starting to learn how animal people expressed their emotions.

When they had first met, he had been bothered by how distant she seemed, but…

(She was expressing her emotions all along. Now that I know how to read them, she’s cuter than ever!)

He grinned and heard Filia and the others talking at the campsite.

“The state of the camp bothers me. Why wouldn’t they clean up all of this?”

“You have a point. This place is a mess. Llusse, have you noticed anything suspicious?”

“The footprints and wheel tracks all look relatively recent, but they show signs of a rushed departure.”

“Could they have been attacked!?”

(I don’t like the sound of this.)

Just as Naoki reached that conclusion…

Crack…

“Hm?”

He heard a quiet but odd noise.

He looked down to see a thin crack running through the ground.

(Was that there before?)

He watched as the crack started growing.

Stones burst from the ground like popping champagne corks, one of them grazing his face.

He just barely managed to dodge out of the way in time, but he lost his balance and fell over in the back of the wagon.

“Th-this looks bad! Hey, be careful, everyone!”

Dirt flew into the air and a giant creature wriggled out of the crack.

“Wh-what the hell!? A-a centipede!?”

The ground had split open to reveal a giant centipede that had to be several dozen meters long.

“Hissssssssssssssssssssss!”

Its long segments ground together and wriggled like a continuous track (even though it was a centipede and not a caterpillar) while the monster’s fang-like mandibles spread wide.

Its raised head shot down toward Naoki who was motionless after his hips gave out in terror.

“Dwahhhhhhhhh!”

In the nick of time, several arrows soared through the air and hit the monster’s head, distracting it. That was Llusse’s doing.

“Th-thanks!”

He breathed a sigh of relief, but they weren’t out of the woods yet.

The monster only needed a quick shake of its head to dislodge the arrows.

“That’s an Iron Centipede! Its skin is hard as metal! Tch, I just wasted three of my precious arrows.”

“Really!? You’re going to be stingy now!?”

“Just run!” she shouted back.

At the same time, Filia rushed toward the monster with sword drawn and attacked.

“Yahhhh!”

But her blade was deflected with a dull clang.

She didn’t even scratch the centipede, but she did chip her sword.

“What is going on!? I thought you two were powered up.”

Naoki’s Hero’s power amplified a woman’s latent abilities.

The effect only lasted about half a day, but it hadn’t been that long for Llusse and Filia.

A single arrow from the former could pierce several monsters and the latter’s sword could slice through solid stone like it was butter.

Yet it wasn’t working!
(N-no, this isn’t about power. Are their weapons not sturdy enough to get through its armor!?)

Yes, not even superhuman strength would help when their weapons were ordinary.

He had never imagined his Hero’s power had a weakness there.

“Kh, the most I can do is draw its attention!”

Realizing she couldn’t cut through its solid skin, Filia swung her sword around to reflect the sunlight and draw the centipede’s attention toward herself.

Llusse fired distracting arrows from a distance to provide what support she could.

They managed to distance the monster from Naoki…but they still hadn’t damaged it.

“How are we supposed to defeat it?” he wondered, but then he heard someone groaning nearby.

It was Mila. She was curled up and holding her head, so something was clearly wrong.

“H-hey, are you alright?”

“M-my ears…”

“Your ears? Oh, I get it!”

Dog people had better hearing than humans and hers was several times greater again while powered up.

That was normally a strength, but it worked against her here.

The unpleasant sound of the giant centipede’s segments grinding together was painful for her.

“Damn, and because of my power up… Mila, bear with it!”

He did his best to support her, but there wasn’t really anything he could do.

The Iron Centipede crawled across the ground and danced through the sky in pursuit of Filia and Llusse.

The noise was only growing louder and it was eventually pounding on Mila’s eardrums enough for her to scream.

“Ahhhhhhhhh!”

“Cover your ears! Make sure you can’t hear anything at all!”

Without warning, everything grew much quieter.

“!?”
“I cast some silence magic,” whispered Tianne, standing protectively in front of Naoki and Mila with her staff held aloft.

No, it only sounded like she was whispering thanks to the magic.

Anything said at a normal volume was reduced to a whisper.

This didn’t create perfect silence, but it reduced the monster’s noise to a tolerable level.

“Th-thanks!” said Naoki. “We needed that.”

“Thank…you,” added Mila. Her breathing was still heavy, but she was doing a lot better.

“This looks like a job for me,” said Tianne, viewing the giant centipede pursuing Filia.

(Oh, right. Tianne can use her magic!)

The nun did not specialize in attack magic, but with the Hero’s power, she could slay ogres in a single blast.

“Please hide behind the wagon.”

She held out her staff while reciting an incantation. A mystical glow surrounded her and her nun’s habit.

This was the same fiery magic she had used in the cave after summoning Naoki.

“Get down!”

On her warning, Filia and Llusse jumped out of the way. The fire erupted a split second later.

The heat burned at Naoki’s cheek even behind the wagon.

But…

“I-I don’t believe it.”

After the wave of heat passed, the centipede stood there entirely unharmed.

“Full magic resistance…it can’t be!”

Tianne paled.

“That’s a thing!?”

Of course it was. He had seen monsters like that in games, hadn’t he?

When a monster was immune to magic, you had to rely on physical attacks.

“B-but it’s skin is so tough! Swords and bows are useless, so it’s basically immune to physical attacks too. How is that fair!?”

Despair set in.

But that was when Filia shouted over at them.
“Tianne! Enchant my sword!”

The nun’s face lit up.

“Of course!”

After another incantation, magic surged from the end of her staff to Filia’s sword.

A strange windy slicing sound came from the blade.

(No, that isn’t just a sound. Is it really slicing through the wind!?)

Even Naoki could guess what was happening here.

Enchanting a weapon strengthened the weapon rather than directly doing magic damage. He was familiar with the concept from games.

This let Tianne convert her magic into a physical attack that wasn’t blocked by the monster’s magic resistance.

Weapon enchantments usually added a special elemental effect as well. In this case, it appeared to be…

“The void.”

Filia took a deep breath, crouched down, and then leaped high into the sky.

Once she began to fall, she swung her blade sharply down toward the bug monster’s head. No, it was actually the rift in the sliced air that easily split open the iron-tough skin.

And the slash continued straight down to the ground!

“Hisssssssssss!!”

With a final death cry, the two halves of the long, bisected body collapsed to either side, sending a tremor through the ground.

“Wow…”

“Hero, are you alright!?”

The swordswoman ran over, tits jiggling with every step.

But even Naoki forgot to stare this time.

“Sigh, that was a tough one,” said Llusse once she returned from collecting her arrows.

Tianne nodded in agreement.

“The caravan must have fled when that monster attacked.”

“Hero, thank you for helping me earlier.”

Mila nestled up against him and he scratched her head.

“I wasn’t any help at all. That was all Tianne’s doing. I really wish I could’ve been more heroic, though.”

“You’re in luck. I have a wonderfully heroic job for you,” cut in Llusse.

“Y-you do? What is it? You can leave it to me!”

“Go pull out all of the centipede’s legs.”

“Huh?”

“They’re tough and there are a lot of them. Perfect for arrows, don’t you think?”

“Huhhh!? Are we really resorting to this?”
“Its armor is a rare material, so we can make some decent money selling it, Hero.”

“You too, Filia!? Really!?”
“C’mon, get to work! It’s your fault we’re poor, remember!?”

“I explained that already!”
He had no choice but to obey when the elf brought that up again.

 

Meanwhile…

A strange orb glowed in the darkness of the throne room at the very center of the Demon Lord’s castle.

The orb resembled a giant crystal ball.

But it was in fact a magic tool crafted from a giant bat’s eyeball.

The orb’s interior shimmered like a mirage to create a dreamlike image.

The Demon Lord’s castle was located at the farthest reaches of a barren tundra known as the Land of Death. It was separated from the Oinia Continent by a vast ocean.

But this magic orb reached across that great distance to display an image of a wagon and the party surrounding it.

The party included a swordswoman, a nun, an elf, a dog girl servant…and one dumb-looking boy.

That was the Hero’s party.

This was a report sent by the Demon Lord’s spies.

“Hmph. The Hero, huh?” A voice echoed in the darkness. “I finally break free of that loathsome seal and I find my nemesis has also arrived in this world. Did the gods set it up this way?”

“With all due respect, Demon Lord Crudelis.” Staff Officer Micie responded to the darkness while kneeling next to the magic orb with her eyes shut. “Isn’t this your chance for revenge after what happened last time?”

She was dressed more like a head maid than staff officer of the Demon Lord’s army.

She wore a tight black jacket over a white blouse decorated with frills and a ribbon tie. She also wore a plain skirt so short it barely even covered her large butt.

She pushed up her elegant, frameless glasses and glanced over at the image in the orb.

“But is this really the Hero? He looks like no more than an average boy to me.”

“Do not be so quick to judge, Micie.” The response from the revived ruler of darkness was severe and somewhat irritated. “The Hero’s true worth is not in his appearance. I learned that the hard way when I underestimated him 300 years ago. I will not make that mistake again.”

The Demon Lord’s voice grew bitter from memories of that past battle.

“Yes, my lord,” stiffly replied Micie.

But a moment later, a daring laugh echoed from the throne enshrouded in shadows.

“Yes…I will never make that mistake again.”

What did that mean?

Confused, Micie remained silent while the Demon Lord continued speaking.

“Human lives are short. That is a weakness not even the Hero can escape, so this Hero is a different person from the previous one. We can make use of him, Micie. His power is a threat, but he can also be manipulated into further extending the reach of my demon forces. So we must strike while he is still young and naïve.”
Realizing the Demon Lord was asking her to lay a cunning trap, the staff officer bowed her head and listened to the Demon Lord’s command.

“Instruct your demons to capture the Hero and bring him to me with all haste! I will use his power to create the mightiest army and fully revive the demons!”

“Ohh, Lord Crudelis!”

Micie’s shoulders trembled and she felt heat growing in her chest.

“Remember – failure will not be tolerated.”

“Of course! I will not fail!”

With her orders, Micie stood up and spoke to the vanguard on the other end of the magic orb.

“Did you hear all of that?”
She could not hide the excitement in her voice.

The time had finally come for the new battle to begin.

 

That night, their camp tent was filled with steamy sexual arousal.

“Y’know, I really thought I was going to die today. I never thought we would have so much trouble with you all powered up.”

“This may mean the Demon Lord’s power is growing by the day.”

Filia’s sweet breath tickled Naoki’s lips.

Her hot and damp tongue snuck inside his mouth and searched across his teeth.

“Nh, nhh.”

They pressed their lips together and shared some intense breaths.

Their tongues seemed to violate each other’s mouths, creating a pleasure and arousal that melted his mind.

Her body felt hot in his arms.

“The monsters we encounter will be even stronger than before, so…”
She pressed the single stiff part of her soft breasts against him to wordlessly beg him for something.

But the thing the swordswoman wanted happened to be fully inside Mila’s vagina, enjoying her inner flesh sticky with sexual nectar.

“Ah, ah…Hero…you’re hitting me deep inside…nh, ahh❤”

Mila had pulled up her skirt and placed her hands on a barrel so he could penetrate her from behind.

She had opened just the chest of her blouse, so her large breasts jiggled with every thrust.

“Should we really be spending our time out here then?” asked Naoki without letting up on Mila.

“The princess said we still have time since the Demon Lord only just awoke.”

But could they really afford to be so optimistic? He had a feeling that was wishful thinking on Marie’s part since she had wanted a reason to keep him with her.

They had escaped her clutches and resumed their journey, but now they were poor and living life on the run.

Could they really defeat the Demon Lord like this?

“Either way, we can’t afford to waste any time,” said Tianne.

The nun’s response sounded serious enough, but she was also staring longingly at Mila and Naoki’s union. Her cheeks were flushed pink with desire.

Naoki wanted to accuse her of wasting time as much as anyone, but he was guilty of that more than any of them.

She wore the black habit of a nun, but she had opened it at the chest to bare just her large breasts and he was busy groping them.

(Actually, are we even wasting time? I mean, this sex is necessary!)

The Hero’s power only affected someone when they were given his semen.

So this sex and their nightly harem orgies were entirely necessary.

After reminding himself of that, Naoki sucked audibly at Filia’s tongue, pinched and twisted Tianne’s nipple, and thrusted his penis deep inside Mila.

“Nhh…ahh❤ You have such a lewd tongue, Hero.”

“Hyah! Ahh! My nipples…I-I love that…”

“Ahn! Ahhhhn❤ Ah, ah❤ I’m cumming again…nhhh❤”

Kissing, breasts, and penetration – he still couldn’t believe he got to enjoy three women in three different ways like this.

And this was his duty as the hero, so he could not express how much he loved this world.

“Please, Hero. I want it too❤”

Filia took Naoki’s hand from Mila’s butt and guided it to her pussy.

When he felt how hot and wet she was, he rubbed some of her naughty nectar on her clitoris. Feeling her labia opening and closing as his finger moved along them was incredibly arousing.

The nun pushed out her own breasts to place his hand into her sweaty cleavage.

The scent of so much female arousal stimulated his male instincts and had his dick throbbing even more.

“You always squeeze tighter the more pleasure you’re feeling, Mila. Hhh.”

“Y-your penis is…ah, ahh, growing harder…and thicker…”

“Is it? Only because your pussy feels so damn good.”

“N-no, it’s nothing spec- nhh!”

Her vagina squeezed even harder when he complimented it.

He was familiar with that intense tightness now, so he thrusted his hips to push deeper through that tightly squeezing flesh. The pleasure was always unbelievable.

The way it rubbed at him as he moved made him want to cum so bad.

He could feel her vagina trembling as it approached climax.

“I’m about to cum! I’ll do it deep inside you!”

He pushed his lower body hard against her large butt to press the tip against her womb before he released his load.

“Ahhhhhh! Y-your hot stuff…is inside me…ah, ahhhhhh!”

The dog girl cried out in orgasm as the hot cum filled her vagina.

“Whew…that was the best.”

He pulled his cock out of her steaming pussy and a bridge of semen formed between them.

Mila lay over the barrel with her long beautiful legs trembling from orgasm and with white cum dripping from her pink pussy.

Tianne and Filia quickly gathered around his crotch.

They competed to lick the love juices and semen from it.

“Ohh…th-that’s nice. It feels great, you two. Kh!”

They had been inexperienced virgins when he first met them, but now they were pros at it.

And the intimacy they had built up together enhanced that.

The passionate tongue work came from pure affection, not just the arousing effect of the Hero’s semen.

“Nh❤ Does this feel good, Hero?”
“Just tell me if there is anything you want me to do❤”

(Ahh, they look so cute staring up at me while sucking my dick.)

Then the tent’s entrance burst open.

“How long are you going to keep at it!? You’ve had more than enough time, so it’s my turn!”

Llusse had been keeping watch outside.

All the moaning coming from the tent must have left her too hot and bothered to wait any longer, so she burst in with flushed skin.

“Eh? But we only just started. Right?”

Filia and Tianne looked to Naoki, asking him to agree, but Llusse put her hands on her hips and refused to back down.

“You can’t fool me! I heard him cum once for each of you already!”

“Y-you can tell that just from listening? You have an ear for sex.”
“Shut up, you!”

She blushed and snapped back at him, but she also pulled up her tunic to bare her elf titties.

“Ohhh!”

He never got tired of admiring their perfect shape. The superbly balanced mounds and the cute pink buds put a smile on his face.

Llusse did not hesitate to surround his cock with those works of art.

“You don’t want me standing watch with the effect of your cum wearing off, do you? So just one round, okay? Then I’ll head right back out there❤”

She sweetly made an excuse for why it was imperative she fuck him while her titjob gradually moved upwards. Her marshmallow softness was soon pressed against his chest while she embraced him and had him to herself.

Now she was asking him to kiss her.

“Nhh, ahh❤”

“Oh, Llusse!”

Filia and Tianne were not going to take this interruption, so they rubbed their breasts against him too.

If the swordswoman’s were rocket tits, then Tianne’s were heavy bomber tits.

He was surrounded by boobs on all sides and he found lips asking to be kissed every way he turned.

When Mila recovered from her orgasm, she got behind him and licked up his back until she reached his nape.

(Th-this is bliss!)

They gently lay him on his back and Llusse started riding his dick.

She moved her hips lewdly back and forth and he had to moan from the pleasure provided by her hot pussy.

“You’ve gotten good at this too, Llusse.”

He meant every word of it.

She would lift her hips when he lowered his so he very nearly pulled out of her and she would place her weight down on him when he thrusted up so her large butt could slap down against his hips.

When he was deep inside her like that, she would move her hips in a spiral to press the most pleasurable spots against his dick.

“I-I’m only doing this to get myself off…n-not to get you off!”

Whatever she might say, her pleasure-seeking motions allowed him to enjoy her vagina from every direction.

“Really? But seeing you in so much pleasure does a lot to help me get off.”

“You- d-don’t say that…ah, ahh…yes, there❤”

When he adjusted his angle to target one of her weak points, she arched her back, sending her breasts jiggling.

“Yeah, that’s the look. It’s so hot!”

“Wh-why must you be so stupid? I know you don’t mean- ah, ah, ahh…yes❤”

“Cumming inside you when you’re lost in pleasure is always the best feeling ever! Okay, your order of Hero cum is ready! Let me see you cum while I serve it to you!”

The love nectar dripping from her vagina added a sticky sound to the slapping of her butt against his hips.

Her cries grew sweeter and more sexual as she approached the moment of ecstasy.

“Ahn…you’re normally so useless…ah, ahhhn❤ But when it comes to sex…ah, ahh…ahn…ahhhhhhhn! Y-you have the nerve to be so- ahhhhn❤ Ahh, I’m cumming…I’m cumming❤”

His semen exploded inside her.

“Ahh❤ It’s so hot…and filling me up inside. There’s so much of it…ahh, ahhh❤ I’m cumming, I’m cumming…I’m cumming while I feel your cum inside meeeeeee❤❤❤❤❤❤”

The hot semen he ejaculated inside her womb brought her to climax.

She soon collapsed onto her back, his cock slipping out of her.

Filia and Tianne immediately began fighting over it.

“Hero…give it to me this time.”

“Ahhn, it’s my turn!”

Life here really was the best.

But some nagging worries still lingered in the back of his mind.

He decided to ask about the main one.

“So what are we going to do next?”

“I have a…plan for that…nhh❤”

“Yes…so don’t worry about…anything❤”

Those two answered him while also giving him a passionate double blowjob, so he forgot all about asking further.

“Ohh…the bottom of the balls? Th-that’s so good, Tianne. Ugh…you too, Filia!”

Their orgy of pleasure showed no signs of ending.

And a pair of eyes was watching it all.

None of them noticed the small bat that had crawled inside the tent.
