Chapter 9: The Aftermath
I don't own any chrachters, all rights go to their owner.
The wagon rattled down the familiar path leading back to the Guild, the sun dipping low on the horizon, casting warm, golden hues over the forest. The group was in high spirits, their recent victory still fresh in their minds, and the ancient artifacts secured in the chest promised a significant reward. Kazuma guided the horses with practiced ease, Luna snuggled close beside him, her head resting comfortably on his shoulder.
Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness chatted excitedly in the back of the wagon, the sense of accomplishment and the promise of a generous payout putting everyone in a jovial mood.
"Can you believe we found that spellbook?" Megumin gushed, her eyes sparkling with thoughts of new magic to master. "It's going to revolutionize my Explosion magic! I'll be unstoppable!"
Darkness, holding the finely crafted dagger they'd discovered, nodded in agreement. "This quest was worth every challenge. The thrill of battle you know" She smiled, happy that she contributed hits and damage to those goblins.
Aqua, leaning back with a smug smile, held up the glowing gemstone she'd claimed. "And let's not forget the Eris we're about to collect. We deserve every coin for this one."
As they approached the Guild, Kazuma pulled the wagon to a stop and hopped down, turning to help Luna down with a gentlemanly flourish. She smiled at him, their fingers lingering together before she let go, a playful blush tinting her cheeks.
The group entered the bustling Guild, the chest of artifacts carried proudly between Kazuma and Darkness. The familiar sights and sounds of adventurers celebrating their victories filled the air. Chris spotted Kazuma's team and approached them with a curious grin.
"Well, well, look who's back," Chris said, crossing her arms as she looked at the chest with interest. "Judging by the size of that thing, I'd say you found something good."
Kazuma grinned, setting the chest down on the counter. "You bet. We cleared the Caverns of Echoes and found a stash of ancient artifacts. Let's see what they're worth."
The Guild receptionist who took over when Luna's shift ended carefully inspected each item, her eyes widening as she took in the shimmering gemstones, intricately carved trinkets, and the ancient spellbook. She meticulously noted down the value of each artifact, her expression growing more impressed by the minute.
After a few moments of calculations, she looked up with a satisfied smile. "You've hit the jackpot with this haul. Altogether, you're looking at a reward of 200,000 Eris. Great job out there!"
The group cheered, Kazuma exchanging high-fives with Megumin and Darkness, while Aqua jumped up excitedly. They each received their share: 40,000 Eris for Kazuma, Luna, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness.
As Aqua counted her coins, she couldn't help but glance over at Luna, who was calmly pocketing her Eris with a serene smile. Aqua's expression shifted to one of mild annoyance. "Wait, wait, wait… Why does Luna get the same amount as us? She's just starting, and I did way more magic than her!"
Luna shrugged nonchalantly, her eyes twinkling as she smiled at Aqua. "I guess I'm just that valuable, Aqua. And don't forget, I saved Kazuma from that goblin back there."
Kazuma chuckled, wrapping an arm around Luna's shoulders. "Maybe she's just better than you, Aqua. Besides, saving my life isn't exactly a small thing." He leaned in and kissed Luna's cheek, causing her to blush and giggle softly.
Aqua pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. "Hmph! It's not fair… I should've gotten a bonus for all my hard work. I mean, I carried the whole fight with my magic!"
Kazuma laughed, shaking his head. "Maybe next time, Aqua. You still did great, and 40,000 Eris is nothing to sneeze at. Besides, there'll be plenty more opportunities to earn even more."
Darkness, admiring her new dagger, nodded thoughtfully. "Eris is nice, but it's the adventure and the bonds we share that truly matter."
Megumin held up her share of Eris triumphantly. "Exactly! Think of all the cabbages we can buy now! And maybe some new robes for me to look extra cool when I'm casting Explosion."
Aqua rolled her eyes, though a smile tugged at her lips as she watched her friends. "Fine, fine. I guess you're all right. Let's enjoy our victory and plan for the next quest."
With their Eris safely tucked away and their spirits high, the group settled into their usual corner of the Guild. Mugs of ale and plates of food were soon spread out before them as they laughed, joked, and relived the best moments of their latest adventure.
Kazuma leaned in close to Luna, their shoulders touching as they watched their friends banter and joke. He raised his mug of frothy beer high. "To more adventures, more treasure, and… more moments like this," Kazuma declared, clinking his mug against Luna's with a smile.
Luna grinned, taking a sip of her drink, and savoring the moment. "I wouldn't have it any other way," she replied softly, her eyes shining with affection.
Later that night, Kazuma and Luna returned to their cozy home, the moonlight softly filtering through the windows, casting a gentle glow over the room. They had settled onto their bed, the warmth of the day's victory still lingering between them. The quiet of the night wrapped around them like a comforting blanket, but Kazuma had something else in mind.
Kazuma, feeling playful and grateful, nestled his head between Luna's soft thighs as she was drinking some tea she made for herself, his hands resting gently on her hips. Luna blushed furiously, her heart racing as she squirmed a little under his touch.
"K-Kazuma," Luna whined in a cute, flustered tone, her hands twitching as she tried to maintain some composure. "Stop… what are you doing?"
Kazuma smirked, placing soft kisses along her inner thighs, his lips brushing her skin with teasing affection. "I'm thanking you, of course," he murmured against her thigh, his voice low and affectionate. "You saved my life back there, and you know what they say… thick thighs truly save lives."
Luna's blush deepened, her cheeks blooming into a vivid red as she let out a shy giggle, her protests fading into soft sighs. She loved the way Kazuma was positioned, the closeness, the warmth—it made her feel special, cherished in a way she never imagined.
Kazuma continued to shower her with kisses, trailing them along her thighs, savoring every moment. "How can a receptionist be so cool and so sexy at the same time?" he murmured between kisses, his eyes filled with admiration. "I'm enjoying this phase compared to my old life… being with you, sharing these moments."
Luna, overcome by his words, leaned down and captured his lips in a sweet, lingering kiss. "Showering me with compliments, huh? I am lucky," she laughed softly, her eyes shimmering with affection. She gently pulled back, her hands resting on his shoulders.
She then pressed her soft breasts against his face, her movements slow and deliberate. Kazuma's eyes widened, his cheeks burning as he felt the softness envelop him. "You get to smother yourself in me," Luna whispered, her voice daring and playful, "and enjoy every part of my body."
Kazuma blushed deeply, his face half-hidden by her curves, and a bit of drool escaped his lips as he reveled in her closeness. "Luna, you're… you're incredible," he stammered, his hands gripping her thighs lightly as if afraid to let go.
Luna giggled, running her fingers through his hair affectionately. "And you, Kazuma, are the only one who gets to see me like this," she whispered, her voice tender as she gazed down at him. "I love it when you're close and when you appreciate me… it makes me feel like I belong here, with you."
Luna then slowly touched his pajama shorts, his cock was twitching rapidly. She blushed, Kazuma smiled evilly and then raised himself up.
Before she could react, Kazuma scooped her up effortlessly, cradling her in his arms in a perfect bridal style. Luna let out a soft gasp, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson as she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck for balance.
"K-Kazuma!" Luna exclaimed, her voice a mix of surprise and flustered excitement. "Ahhh, what are you doing?"
Kazuma grinned down at her, his expression filled with playful confidence. "Taking you somewhere special," he said, his voice warm but with a hint of that familiar teasing tone. He started to carry her toward their bedroom, each step deliberate as he reveled in the moment.
Kazuma grinned down at her, his expression filled with playful confidence. "Taking you somewhere special, I am collecting my prize right?" he said, his voice warm but with a hint of that familiar teasing tone. He started to carry her toward their bedroom, each step deliberate as he reveled in the moment.
Luna's heart pounded in her chest, her blush deepening as she nestled closer to him. "You're so unpredictable," she whispered, her voice soft yet full of affection. Despite her initial surprise, she couldn't help but smile, feeling both cherished and exhilarated by his sudden boldness.
Kazuma chuckled softly, his grip on her firm yet gentle as he pushed open the door to their bedroom. "I just want to make this night as memorable as possible," he murmured, gazing down at her with genuine affection. "After all, how often do I get to carry my hero in my arms?"
Luna laughed lightly, her nerves settling as she looked into his eyes. "You're such a dork, Kazuma," she said, her voice filled with warmth.
In a moment of boldness, Kazuma lifted her tank top over her head, her blush deepening as he tossed it aside. Kazuma's eyes widened with a mix of awe and playful intent, and before Luna could react, he leaned in and buried his face between her perky breasts, playfully motorboating and licking her.
Luna let out a surprised scream, her initial shock melting into a series of soft moans as she felt Kazuma's playful yet intimate touch. Her fingers curled into his hair, her breath hitching with each gentle press of his lips and the warmth of his breath against her skin.
"K-Kazuma!" Luna gasped, her voice catching in her throat as she struggled to keep her composure. She bit her lip, a mix of embarrassment and excitement flooding her senses. Her body reacted instinctively, leaning into his touch as Kazuma's hands moved down, finding the waistband of her yellow pajama pants.
He carefully tugged them down, his eyes never leaving hers as he admired every inch of her. With a quick, deft motion, Kazuma unclipped her hair, letting it cascade down her shoulders in soft waves. Luna's heart raced, her breaths coming in shallow bursts as she watched him, her cheeks a vivid shade of pink.
Luna's mind swirled with thoughts, the vulnerability of the moment mingling with a newfound confidence she found in Kazuma's gaze. "He's really worshipping me, I've never felt like a complete woman before him." she thought, feeling his touch not just on her skin but deep in her soul. She had never felt so desired, so seen, and it made every nerve in her body tingle with anticipation.
Kazuma's hands roamed gently, his touch reverent as if he were appreciating a masterpiece. "You're incredible, Luna," he murmured against her skin, his voice low and filled with sincerity. "I don't deserve someone as amazing as you, but I'm going to cherish every moment I have with you."
He positioned himself above Luna, his eyes searching hers with a mix of anticipation and tenderness. The room was quiet except for the sound of their breaths mingling in the soft glow of the candlelight. Luna felt her heart race, every nerve in her body alive with the intensity of the moment. She had never been this close to anyone before, and the way Kazuma looked at her made her feel seen, and cherished in a way she hadn't known was possible.
As Kazuma aligned himself with her, his member just inches away from her, he paused, his expression shifting to one of concern and care. "Luna… is it okay?" he asked, his voice low and sincere, his eyes locked onto hers. He didn't want to rush her; he wanted her to be sure, to know that she was safe and in control.
Luna's breath hitched as she felt the warmth of him so close, her body tingling with anticipation. She could see the genuine care in his eyes, the way he was willing to wait as long as she needed. It touched her deeply, and she felt a swell of affection for him. She reached up, cupping his face in her hands, her thumbs brushing softly against his cheeks.
"Yes, Kazuma," she whispered, her voice steady and full of quiet confidence. "I want this. I want you." She nodded, her gaze unwavering as she gave him her consent, a soft smile playing on her lips.
Kazuma's face lit up with a tender smile, relief, and excitement mingling in his expression. He leaned down to kiss her deeply, pouring all his emotions into the moment. Slowly, he began to move, pressing forward as Luna's body welcomed him. They both gasped at the sensation, their bodies connecting in a way that felt both new and perfectly natural.
Luna's eyes fluttered closed, her fingers gripping Kazuma's shoulders as they found a slow, steady rhythm. Each movement was careful, deliberate, and filled with an unspoken promise of care and devotion. Kazuma's touch was gentle yet sure, his hands exploring her body with a reverence that made Luna feel cherished beyond words.
Kazuma's cock trusted in and out of her, making her moan and bite her lips.
As they moved together, Kazuma's hand found hers, their fingers intertwining as they shared this lovemaking. Luna could feel the sincerity in every touch, every whispered word of adoration. She had never felt so close to someone, so understood and accepted. In Kazuma's arms, she felt complete.
Their pace quickened, a combination of lust shared longing, and affection that built to a peak. Luna's back arched, her body trembling as they reached their climax together, their breaths mingling in soft, ragged gasps. She clung to Kazuma, her nails digging into his back as they rode out the waves of pleasure.
When it was over, Kazuma gently lowered himself beside her, pulling her close. They lay there, basking in the warmth of their connection, their hearts beating in sync. Kazuma brushed a strand of hair from Luna's face, his expression soft and content.
Later, they found themselves in a large, warm bathtub filled with bubbles, the water enveloping them in a soothing embrace. Kazuma sat behind Luna, his arms wrapped around her as they soaked in the quiet comfort of the moment. Luna leaned back against him, her head resting on his shoulder, feeling utterly at peace.
Kazuma's hands roamed gently over her shoulders, massaging the tension from her muscles. Luna let out a contented sigh, her eyes half-closed as she enjoyed the tender attention. "What do you think our next quest should be?" she asked softly, her voice relaxed.
Kazuma chuckled, nuzzling his face into her neck. "Honestly? I don't care about the next quest right now," he said, his tone light and affectionate. "I just want to be here with you."
Luna smiled, her fingers tracing lazy patterns on Kazuma's arms. "You know, being a receptionist can be a bit dull at times," she admitted. "I like having something like this, something that's just ours."
Kazuma nodded, his hands sliding lower to gently massage her breasts under the bubbles, drawing a soft gasp from her. "Think of it as our side gig," he teased, reaching for the gel and working it into her hair. His fingers massaged her scalp in slow, soothing motions, and Luna leaned into the touch, her body relaxing further.
"Ahhh, but aren't we going to fight the Devil King," Luna asked, moaning as Kazuma sucked on her neck and massaged her breasts.
"Yeah I know, Its just your safety is my top priority too you know," Kazuma replied with a smirk.
"Well aren't you my knight in shining armor." She grinned.
Kazuma grinned, leaning in to press a soft kiss to her lips. "I guess I am," he replied, his voice light and teasing. "But you're the one who makes it all worthwhile, Luna. Whether we're fighting the Devil King or just spending time like this."
Luna's smile widened, her eyes shining with affection. She leaned back into him, letting the warmth of the bath and Kazuma's embrace envelop her. In that moment, everything felt perfect.
Thanks for reading, update coming soon with Luna accompanying Kazuma's party more often :D
