Rise of the Eromancer

Chapter 149 We Can't Do That

Back at Wilder's Harem HQ, Katarina was pacing back and forth across Rhys's office; her eyebrows, completely lowered as he waited for Rhys to finish saying his farewell to the other members of the guild. Ayesha was also there, sitting on Rhys's chair and just casually playing with her teddy bear, rolling her lips and quietly whispering to herself.

Maria was just sitting on the sofa quietly, checking her tablet every now and then as she glanced at Katarina.

"K, perhaps it would be better for you to sit down?" Maria said.

"I'm calm!"

"I did not ask if you were calm, K," Maria blinked a couple of times as she gestured to Katarina to sit down.

"Why would I!?" Katarina finally stopped walking back and forth as she looked at Maria; her voice, getting louder with each syllable, "Rhys is going out of the country, alone... alone with that vixen!"

"You do know that I'm also here, right?" Lina, who was actually also seated on the sofa, could not help but raise an eyebrow as she heard Katarina's words.

"Rhys has never been out of the country before. What if he gets sick!?" Katarina completely ignored Lina as she once again started walking back and forth to Rhys's office, "Isn't it always raining there? What if he gets sick and I'm not there to take care of him!?"

"Zeus, Doc. Chill your balls," Ayesha could not help but sigh as she gently placed her teddy bear on the desk, "Rhys isn't a child. And as someone who's been penetrated by his thick, girthy cock already, you should know that."

"He doesn't even have a visa, what if he gets lost there?" Katarina completely ignored everyone as she started biting her nails, "We should-"

"Everyone, sorry it took so long."

And before Katarina's worries could become ballistic, Rhys finally entered the office.

"What did you even discuss with the others?" Katarina quickly stood in front of Rhys, not even allowing him to take 3 steps inside the office.

"Just… some plans," Rhys just smiled as he held Katarina's shoulder, "I don't know how long I'll be gone, so I just wanted to know if the guild will still be on track when I'm gone."

"What plans, Rhys Wilder?" Maria quickly stood up and started fidgeting with her tablet, "So that I could prepare for the backlash of whatever it is you are planning to do again."

"It's… nothing that hard," Rhys could not help but just wave his hand as Maria's slightly intense gaze almost drowned him.

"Recruit, we're here — you don't have to worry about the guild," Ayesha scoffed as she also left Rhys's desk, "Just worry about yourself out there or that maneater Lina will eat you alive."

"...Guys, I'm here," Lina once again raised an eyebrow as she looked at Ayesha.

"Do you really have to go…?" Katarina grabbed Rhys's hand before gently placing it on her cheek, "We've just… The two of us… we've only just begun, Rhys."

"Guys, there's no need to be so dramatic, I mean… fuck!" Lina could not help it anymore as she raised her voice and stood up, "It's not like Rhys and I would be gone for long. I'll make sure we leave after a few days or so — I know my family, they just want to berate me and flex at the same time, they're cunts."

"The major thing I'm worried about is that he's with you, Lina," Katarina rolled her eyes as she looked at Lina, "Who knows what you'll do to him there!"

"Seriously…?" Lina scoffed, "What do you guys think I am? Just so all of you know, I'm Rhys's first and original girlfriend. You all should actually just bow down to me for sharing him. I'm your master."

"W—"

"Enough, guys…" And as Rhys whispered loudly, everyone just shut their mouths as they saw him pinching the bridge of his nose, "Look, I'll be back before you know it."

"Everyone should just relax and listen to the Recruit," Ayesha followed up as she approached Rhys, "Kat, he survived in the Underworld Corps for half a year, you should trust the guy more."

"He returned missing an arm and a leg."

"...Right," Ayesha raised a finger as she looked to the side, "To be fair, he has a mechanical leg now which is totally super cool. I've even forgotten about it before you mentioned it."

"Kat… I'll be fine," Rhys once again placed his hand on Katarina's cheek.

"T—Hmgh!?"

And before she could even say anything, Rhys suddenly placed his lips upon hers. Katarina's eyes widened, but not for long as she closed them and gently grabbed the back of Rhys's head as she just stuck out her tongue inside Rhys's mouth.

"That's… not a goodbye kiss," Lina commented as she looked at the others. Ayesha, on the other hand, just shrugged.

"Fuu…" Katarina loudly gasped as she pulled her head away, "Just… just please be careful out there, okay?"

"Hm," Rhys nodded before turning to look at Ayesha.

"I'm not going to kiss you in front of all these people, Recruit," Ayesha quickly shook her head and chuckled, "Just be sure to fuck me first once you return."

"Uh, language?" Katarina glared at Ayesha.

"I'll kiss you, Rhys Wilder," Maria raised her hand. And even with Katarina's arms still wrapped around Rhys's head, Maria suddenly grabbed Rhys's face and proceeded to kiss him in front of Katarina… quite passionately.

"W—that's enough!" Katarina quickly pushed Maria away.

"Hm," Maria did not mind as she just wiped the saliva dripping from her lips, "So, when are we going to have an orgy?"

"Never!" "No." "Maybe after we're back?"

Katarina, Ayesha, and Lina all turned to look at Maria as soon as she said that. As for Rhys, he only sighed and shook his head.

"I guess I'm—"

"Don't say goodbye, Rhys," Katarina smiled, "You said it yourself, right… you'll be back before we know it?"

"Guys, just…" Lina could not help but ball her hands into a fist as she covered her mouth in frustration, "...Please don't say anything more — these are red flags, you guys should watch more anime."

"Just go," Ayesha waved her hand, "Go. No more words, go! That helicopter's been running for a while now, it might not have enough gas to reach the airport."

Rhys turned to look at Ayesha, Katarina, and Maria for a few more seconds before nodding her head at Lina. And as per Ayesha's words, Rhys did not really say anything more as he left the room.

And as soon as Lina and Rhys were gone, Ayesha quickly turned to look at Maria and Katarina, who also returned her inquisitive gaze.

"So…" Ayesha whispered as the three started huddling together, "...I think I can manage to smuggle us through the Underworld. But obviously, we can't do that since no one will be left to take care of the guild."

"We can ask Kenneth, he's friends with the members already," Katarina squinted her eyes as she whispered, "But obviously, we can't do that."

"I can actually also just stay here and support the guild. I can't leave my job," Maria also whispered, "I will also hate it that while I am working, the four of you are having fun there — maybe even having hardcore sex while degrading me since I am not with you. You can totally do that."

"...Were you dropped as a baby?" Ayesha almost removed herself from the circle as she heard that, "But it's final, then. Kat…

…you and I are going to Enkland."
