Devouring the Hero's Family

Tina, the beast-warrior of the Hero Party.

This cat beastkin was having the toughest of days lately.

“No, I mean, the numbers don’t add up! Good ears but blind eyes?”

“I’m not used to handling numbers.”

“Still, you should do your job properly!”

“And you, weren’t your laundry skills a mess? Showing off your sheltered upbringing at the church?”

“Are you looking for a fight?!”

Rose and Claire were arguing fiercely in front of her, using harsh words.

This has become almost a daily occurrence lately.

Specifically, since both of them started handling mundane tasks.

They constantly nitpicked each other’s work.

‘… It’s natural they can’t do it. They’ve never tried before.’

The women of the Hero Party generally come from high backgrounds.

Rose was the daughter of an elf chieftain, and Claire was a saint.

Both had never done household chores before.

But both were too proud to admit their mistakes.

So, they preemptively criticized each other.

The classic ‘Why are you complaining when you can’t do it either?’ logic.

Naturally, their arguments were never productive.

‘Well, those two have always been at each other’s throats.’

Saint Claire and Elf Rose.

They had been at odds from the beginning.

An elf who believed in spirits and a saint who worshiped a god were natural enemies.

Their daily routine involved exchanging insults and hurling arrows and holy missiles.

In fact, the women of the Hero Party were in competition with each other.

All wanting to secure their future as the wife of a hero.

It was an opportunity to gain wealth and honor simultaneously.

But there could only be one official wife, though concubines were another matter.

Normally, the three would be at each other’s throats daily.

The reason the party, on the verge of explosion, functioned well was only because of one reason.

‘Because of the magician Lee Hyun-woo.’

When Hyun-woo was there, the party functioned smoothly.

There were various reasons for that.

Hyun-woo took care of the menial tasks they hated.

His presence as a common enemy lets the women bond over gossip and relieve stress.

He was competent enough to solve most problems on his own.

‘But now, he’s gone.’

Being tasked with chores was annoying enough, but the other women kept picking fights.

There was no way to release the accumulated stress.

It was natural for the party to be dysfunctional.

‘Ugh! What were they thinking? Expelling the magician?!’

Tina wasn’t there when Hyun-woo was expelled.

From her perspective, she woke up to find the party’s magician suddenly gone.

Tina didn’t particularly like Hyun-woo.

She often found him nagging and interrupting her sex life.

But did she wish him gone?

Absolutely not.

‘That human magician did a lot of work.’

Not just the aforementioned chores.

Handling paperwork, managing money, standing guard, conquering dungeons, and even slaying monsters.

Without that wizard, the party would hardly function.

And now that person left without any handover, the outcome was obvious.

Moreover, that wizard was incredibly skilled.

Rose and Claire, who stayed at the back, might not know.

But Tina, who fought at the front, had lost count of how many times she had been aided by that magic.

“I must find a way to bring them back…..”

Tina glanced surreptitiously at Leon.

The solution was actually simple.

Leon just needed to apologize to the wizard.

That kind-hearted human, as always, will pretend to be defeated and forgive him.

The problem was that Leon didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that.

“……But I can’t just tell him to apologize first.”

That would scratch the hero’s pride.

Everyone knew Leon felt inferior to Hyun-woo.

What would Leon do if he were told to apologize first?

It’s uncertain if he’d really apologize upon hearing that.

But the moment those words were spoken, Leon would definitely mark the speaker.

“Then I would definitely fall behind those women.”

In any case, to Leon, she would become a ‘woman who prioritizes Hyun-woo over himself.’

That would greatly influence future choices.

And those women, were they just ordinary troublemakers?

It was obvious they’d pounce like hyenas.

-“Oh my… Do you miss that wizard so much? Then just team up with that wizard.”

-“Right, hero. She seems to prefer the wizard over you~”

“…….I can’t stand to see that.”

All the women in the party knew this.

Thus, it was a hopeless situation where everyone knew the problem and solution but just looked around.

“Sigh…..”

At that moment of frustration.

The spear of accusation turned towards Tina.

“Tina, what right do you have to sigh?”

“Uh, what?”

“Right! Wasn’t it your job to bring quests? Then why did you bring such a poor one?”

“I had no choice! It’s rare to find quests that match our level.”

Even if it was a decaying hero’s party, they couldn’t accept mediocre quests.

And it was rare to find quests that paid well easily.

Tina, who went to the guild to look at the paperwork, was dizzy.

By the time she came to her senses, she had already accepted a low-paying quest from the guild leader.

It was a wonder how that wizard managed to get such good quests easily.

“Wait, what about these women?”

Staying silent made them take her for granted.

“And I did bring a proper quest! But you can’t even handle these menial tasks? Aren’t you disqualified as adventurers, let alone as women?”

“What, what?”

“Are you done talking?”

Just as the argument was about to escalate into a fight.

“Okay, okay. Let’s stop.”

Leon, who had been pretending not to notice, stood up and intervened.

“Don’t worry too much, everyone. It’s not like we’re in a hurry. We have the royal subsidy.”

“That is……”

Seeing their carefree expressions, the three of them momentarily lost their words.

…Could it be that he really didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation?

“We used to handle all these tasks, right? You’ll get used to it if you take it slow. Let’s not rush and go at our own pace.”

“Uh, right. That’s so like Leon. He’s on a different level from us.”

But the only person who could say that wasn’t here.

The women forced smiles.

Was it really okay to follow this hero?

A sense of uncertainty was slowly creeping into their hearts.

I spotted Amy struggling to move some luggage.

Slowly approaching, I lifted the load that was on top.

“Uh, what?”

Amy was briefly startled by the suddenly lighter weight.

Seeing me, her face turned red.

“A, a guest?”

“Where are you going? Let me help you.”

“No, I can’t let a guest do work!”

“Ah, come on. A guest? I’m just a freeloader. Helping out like this makes me feel at ease.”

Amy jumped around, trying to help, but the height difference was too much.

With my hand raised, her arms couldn’t reach at all.

“So~ you’re not going to guide me? My arms are starting to hurt.”

“Uh, then please, I’d be grateful.”

Amy nodded, her face expressing genuine bewilderment and gratitude.

‘It’s refreshing to see such a reaction after dealing with those ungrateful women.’

A maid with a personality score of 100, face score of 100, chest score of 1000, and honey thighs score of 10000.

The chest, about to burst out of her outfit as seen from above, was also perfect.

“Besides, calling me a guest makes me feel too distant.”

“Is, is that so?”

“I told you I’m from a commoner background. Just call me Hyun-woo, comfortably.”

“Wh, what?!”

Amy looked even more flustered than before.

“That, that’s impossible! At least let me add ‘Mr.’!”

“Alright. So, we agree that instead of a guest, you’ll call me Mr. Hyun-woo?”

“Ah, ah!”

Amy, flustered, puffed her cheeks as she realized she had been caught off guard.

“…Mr. Hyun-woo is a bit of a tease.”

“I’m not like that with everyone. Only to cute girls like Amy.”

“That, that includes this aspect too…….”

Amy turned her head, her face flushed red.

The blush extended to her ears, clearly showing her embarrassment.

After all, no woman disliked being called cute.

“Fr, from here, I’ll carry it! Thank you so much!”

Amy hurried off with quick steps.

Her skirt fluttered, briefly revealing the tantalizing space between her honey thighs and hips.

‘Ah, I want to lift her skirt and pin her against the wall right now.’

As much as I’d like to do that, it was not the time yet.

A certain level of affection needed to be established before crossing that line.

‘It seems hard to wait until then. Isn’t there an easier way?’
