Morning.
Watching Silas disappear into the mist, Sister Rose unconsciously placed her hands on the bulging curves of her chest.
If he were right by her side, saying she had the courage or could do it was easy.
But once it was time for action?
"Don't worry, Sister Rose!"
Leah suddenly patted her flat little chest and gripped the dagger at her waist with a spirited look. "Leah promises to finish the mission big brother gave. I'll be an excellent and recognized knight!"
"...Mission?"
Sister Rose looked at her in confusion.
"Big brother wants Leah to be the guide, hold big sister's hand, and get sister to where she needs to go."
Elena explained casually, "Leah is in charge of force, I'm in charge of psychology... psycho... anyway, I'm in charge of comforting big sister."
"Serves you right! Stupid Elena stole my lines and forgot what the mission was herself! Blehh~"
"Didn't big brother tell you that we'd meet monsters this high with eight eyes and nine legs on the way?"
"...Eeeh?!"
Leah's face turned pale instantly. She hid behind the Sister, looking around. "Stop lying! How could it be a spider, a knight's greatest fear, by such a coincidence?"
"..."
Watching the two sisters bicker, Sister Rose felt somewhat ashamed.
In his eyes, was she even inferior to her younger sisters?
That must be it.
That's why she really needed to summon her courage.
"Alright, let's set off too. Don't let your big brother down."
That's what she said to the sisters.
But in reality, Rose pressed slightly on her chest and said to herself: Don't let him down.
The carriage couldn't go any further from here.
For no other reason than even if the horse had mutated, it still seemed to have a primal instinct of fear.
Therefore, Sister Rose needed to discard most things, keeping only some water and dry rations. Of course, the treasures for starting a new life were brought along. The ones Silas picked weren't too heavy in total.
"..."
As they got further from the wooden cabin they originally stayed in, the fog grew thicker. If she hadn't been holding the two little lolis tightly, Rose feared she would lose them.
Squish.
She stepped on something soft. It was the limb of a dead monster.
"Sister."
"Ah..."
The younger sister suddenly spoke, and the tense Rose couldn't help but tremble.
"When you sleep with big brother, what do you do?"
"...Eh?"
Sister Rose's pale face flushed instantly. "Is this the time for such questions?"
"And under the table, Elena always smells a weird scent."
"Leah smells it too!"
"..."
"Will sister have a baby?"
"Eee?"
Being poked in the belly by her sister's slender finger, Rose's face grew even redder.
But she immediately realized, "Are you... still completing the mission Mr. Silas gave you? He told you to tease your sister like this to help?"
"Big brother said that compared to verbal encouragement, making sister feel embarrassed is a better method."
"Right, right, Leah thinks so too."
"Fine. You must never become a knight in the future. If I become a merchant, I'll never hire a knight like you who hides behind the merchant."
"I'm helping watch the back! You think I don't dare walk in front? I was recognized by big brother as the most powerful 'pawn' next to him!"
With the dagger at her waist like a longsword, Leah's face turned red. She walked two steps ahead, her body trembling.
"Oh, right. There's something Elena has always been curious about."
Elena took the opportunity to whisper, "Is it true that if sister swallows big brother's stuff, a baby will grow out of her belly later?"
"?"
"Sorry, Elena saw secretly before... sister crouching in front of big brother."
"Wait!"
Sister Rose panicked. She immediately covered Elena's mouth.
"What are you guys talking about?"
The confused Leah in front turned around.
"Nothing. Mr. Silas was right. My sister is indeed like a brave knight now."
"Really?!"
"..."
It was easy to fool her. Looking at her sister Elena, who was still full of curiosity, Sister Rose also spoke in a low voice, "I was... mending Mr. Silas's pants."
"Sister is a liar. You don't lick to mend pants... mmmph."
"Stop asking! Mr. Silas definitely didn't teach you to do this!"
"But big brother also said to know how to apply things. Elena seems to have successfully completed the mission."
"..."
"...Honestly."
Sister Rose sighed helplessly.
Just how much did he want her to lose face in front of her sisters?
To say that making her embarrassed was a good method... well, he succeeded.
"Sister, it's the rope big brother left! And the paper flowers I folded!"
As Leah in front shouted excitedly, Sister Rose gradually calmed down.
What was there to fear?
He had solved all the difficult problems; she was just walking along the path he provided.
She didn't know exactly how long they walked.
But the surrounding fog began to thin out, and Sister Rose saw the carriage Silas had prepared at the intersection. The carriage was not lacking in food and water. The gold coins and precious jewelry inside were definitely enough for her to live several lifetimes.
A piece of parchment with writing on it was weighed down by a stone on the driver's seat.
[Miss Rose, your heart must have been in your throat on the way here. But congratulations, you have cleared the game.]
[Next, open the white bundle on the far left of the carriage. That is the reward.]
What is this?
Just like coaxing a child.
Sister Rose opened the bundle. Inside was a beautiful, pure white dress. On the chest, ugly handwriting was written directly on parchment... gift to my wife.
"So beautiful."
"But... the chest part is so big."
Leah unsuitably broke the mood and was ruthlessly nudged by Elena's elbow.
"It IS big! Two big lumps sticking out like that is weird."
"..."
Rose didn't care what her sister was saying.
At a glance, she felt this garment was custom-made for her, found with a lot of effort. It was perfect.
Wiping away a few stray tears, she beckoned her two sisters into the carriage.
"Everyone sit tight. We'll continue as Mr. Silas said, moving a distance away from this fog zone."
Her mission was almost at its end.
Late night.
They stopped a few miles ahead from where Silas had parked the carriage. Rationally, she should have listened to Silas and gone further, but since she was past the intersection, Rose worried Silas wouldn't be able to see her immediately.
No matter how much she received gifts or heard his intentions, how could it compare to the person being right before her eyes?
"Is sister not sleeping?"
"Yeah. If Mr. Silas comes back and no one greets him, he'll be very lonely."
"Didn't sister see it too? There were so many things big brother defeated on the way; we just have to wait. Oh, right, sister crouching in front of big brother..."
"Go to sleep. I am responsible for your safety."
Sister Rose sternly interrupted her sister's words.
As long as she could see Silas return with her own eyes, what did it matter if Elena knew about "that"?
Anyway, sooner or later, both sisters would understand.
It wasn't... it's just what people who love each other do. It wasn't shameful.
She sat in the driver's seat. As Silas instructed, if she wanted to stop and be secure, she would throw blood-soaked cloths in front of the horse. At the same time, she had to put the "ball gag" on the horse.
She wasn't sleepy yet.
Just a bit uneasy.
She entered the carriage and opened the bundle Silas left. She didn't touch the gorgeous dress; she just crumpled the parchment with the ugly handwriting into a ball and pressed it against her chest.
Mm.
She wanted to masturbate.
At this point, she didn't find it shameful. Because he would indulge her in using this method to relieve her anxiety.
Patter.
Just as her hand, gripping the crumpled parchment, reached into her warm thighs, she suddenly heard footsteps.
Mr. Silas is back?
W-wait!
In this state, if he wants to do erotic things, he'll find out immediately... how embarrassing.
She hurriedly wiped herself with her sleeve.
"Ex-excuse me... is the person inside a normal human?!"
The person outside spoke. It sounded like the immature voice of a young girl.
"If there's someone there, answer! Otherwise, I'm lighting a fire!"
"..."
Sister Rose covered the mouth of her awakened sister and made a "shh" sound. At the same time, she hid her short sword behind her back and slowly lifted the carriage curtain.
She found only a sweaty young girl with freckles on the bridge of her nose holding a torch. It wasn't Silas.
"Miss, are... are you a normal person who escaped from inside?"
"..."
Sister Rose remained silent for a moment, staring at the girl's increasingly urgent and even tearful look, then nodded.
"Great! Then have you seen my sister? She... she's a knight! A very cool female knight!"
"..."
Meeting that expectant gaze, Sister Rose seemed to understand something. She lowered her guard.
"Are you talking about Miss Fiona?"
"Yes! Fiona! She's been missing inside for over two months! Since you know her name, is Fiona in the carriage too?"
"..."
"I knew it, Fiona must still be alive. Those knights and regular soldiers are cowards! Saying everyone is dead."
Sister Rose didn't stop the young girl from lifting the carriage curtain.
"...Eh, Fiona... isn't here?"
"..."
Sister Rose didn't know where Fiona and the others went. Alive or dead.
But she didn't feel guilt. Because Silas had no reason to be a hero.
"I have indeed seen Miss Fiona, but we separated later. I don't know where she went. This is a note she left for me."
"..."
"It's okay. Knowing someone can come out from inside and that someone has seen my sister is enough. Fiona must be alive."
The freckled girl wasn't discouraged; instead, she became very enthusiastic upon seeing the note. "Ah, the note says... Miss Rose is a distinguished guest of the Fiona family."
"You are so beautiful. If you don't mind, please come with me."
"Everyone is afraid to talk about this, saying it's impossible... but once they see Miss Rose, they'll definitely send more people in!"
"..."
From the young girl's trembling words, Sister Rose heard a terrifying fact.
Almost half of the elite of the Church's largest knight order and many guards sent by the Kingdom had perished here. So far, let alone rescuing survivors, no one could even find their bodies.
And Sister Rose, along with her two sisters, were the only living people to come out.
