*************************************

"When I didn't see you when I woke up, I thought you had slipped out of your promise once again..." says Alessia, cutting with excessive violence one of the sausages we have for breakfast.

"Hahaha, no, why would I do that?" I say, with some nervousness, seeing this new side of Alessia.

We're at our house in Dominir village, having breakfast before going to the war zone to carry out my reconnaissance and elimination 'missions' as a member of Commander Cael's group.

"That's right... Why would you do that? Before the full-scale war, you promised me that would be the last time you would leave me out. Yesterday, just in case, I made a point of reminding you in bed. However, this morning you were not in bed; where did you go, master?" Alessia says so with a dangerous tone.

The night with Alessia was incredible.

She had never been so creative and proactive before.

Although it's a shame that she used sex as blackmail to remind me that I had promised that tomorrow I would have to take her with me to the war zone.

I could go on and on about the things I did with Alessia last night, but I think that would be very ungentlemanly of me.....Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Besides, I'm in a bad mood as I started the day off on the wrong foot, having to skip the daily morning blowjob that every man needs to start the day off right.

"Yes, yes, I promised, and today you will come with me. That's why... I went to... let my boss know you'd be joining me today," I say, watching as Alessia cuts another sausage into thin slices while looking me straight in the eye.

This is obviously a blatant lie.

I had to get up very early today to take Delia to the war zone.

I planned to be back before Alessia noticed my absence, but the plan only half worked, as I had to wake Delia up, and that took longer than I had imagined.

'I have to think of a way to get my two women to meet and accept our relationship. This secrecy is going to kill me.'

"Haa... Very good." says Alessia, suddenly smiling and returning to her usual mood. "That means I'm going to meet him today, right?"

"Who?" I ask, distractedly.

"The person you're working for!!!" she says, and her smile tightens.

"Ahh... Yes... Maybe," I say evasively, thinking about how bad Cael and Alessia's meeting could turn out, "but today we're mainly going to hunt down enemy soldiers and mark their locations on the maps I have."

"Good! I can't wait to make all the time I spend suffe... ejem... training with my mother-in-law finally count for something!"

...

"There are three groups at the front and two on the right. The one at the front has 8 members, and the ones on the right have 5 and 6 members," I say as I point with my hand in the directions where the enemies are.

Thanks to the map on my interface, I can clearly see the movements of the enemy soldiers.

We are in the forest, where I usually hunt enemy soldiers.

Today, since I'm with Alessia, I won't be able to use stealth, and I'll have to face the enemies in a much more direct way.

But even so, two people are still better than one.

"You know that from your instinct, don't you?" asks Alessia, with a raised eyebrow and looking at me sarcastically.

"Yeah, hahaha," I say, with a nervous laugh.

Alessia: !!!

At the same time, one of the soldiers shouts.

"It's him! It's the Golden Archer! The rumors were true. Arrows are useless against him! Quickly! We have to call the rest."

'-That name... where did I hear it before?'

'Were they looking for me specifically? What did I do to deserve so much attention? Yeah... that's probably a stupid question... Shit. Surely it's all the fault of that damned Admiral General'

As soon as the enemy soldier says those words, a magic flare shoots into the air, and the two groups on the right start coming in this direction.

"Shit! We have to hurry. We're going to have a lot of company soon," I say, and I start running against the shield's wall.

"Ok, I'll follow you," says Alessia with deadly seriousness in her eyes.

From behind the shields, there are several people with bows firing in our direction, but once we start running, it's easy to avoid the projectiles.

'Activate Strength Profile'

As soon as I get to a distance where I can reach them with my great sword, I attack them with a side slash that hits all the shields at once, knocking their owners to the ground and destroying the shields in the process.

"W-Why is he using a sword? Nobody told us about this!" says one of the panicked archers, just before he is decapitated by Alessia, who falls upon the enemies like a deadly shadow, moving at lightning speed.

But the archers are not the problem.

'Activate Agility Profile'

I quickly re-equip myself with my bow and fire at blinding speed three incineration arrows at the mages, who begin to burst into flames and interrupt their companions' chanting.

"We need to get out of here as soon as possible," I say, re-equipping my great sword to take out the few enemies that Alessia has not yet eliminated.

I'm surprised that Alessia had time to take out eight enemies on her own while I took care of the mages, but now is not the time to be amazed by my girl's abilities.

As soon as we are done with the enemies, we run in the opposite direction to the one from which the other enemy groups are approaching.

To my surprise, five more groups are heading towards us from the sides, threatening to cut off our line of escape if we delay any longer.

Running like hell, Alessia and I speed towards the place where I could use space travel to get out of here, while behind us, explosions start to sound in the near distance.

'Are they dropping bombs on us?!!!! Shit!! I can't use the Agility Profile to outrun the enemies, as it would leave Alessia behind too.... So... I can only rely on Luck. Activate Luck Profile!'

Suddenly, a nearby explosion knocks us to the ground, and I see that the groups of enemies are getting closer and closer to us.

'Shit...'

There are at least 60 people running towards us at a dangerous distance.

And I say 'at least' because it seems I can no longer rely 100% on my interface map to identify the number of enemies.

What's worse, I see seven more groups approaching in the distance.

"Get up, quickly! Alessia, if we die here, I think it's only fair you know this. I have another woman," I say, approaching Alessia to help her up as she looks dazed from the explosion.

"WHAT!?!?!" asks Alessia, scrambling to her feet and suddenly looking at me with complete lucidity.

'What? Why did I say that?'

"Yes, you deserved to know. Sorry I didn't tell you sooner," I say, starting to run again at full speed and dragging Alessia along as I tug on her hand to keep up with me.

Alessia: !!!

'What the hell is wrong with my mouth?!!! In fact, I've been having these kinds of intrusive thoughts for days now, which are very unusual for me.... Ever since...'

"First let's concentrate on getting out of here alive. You're not allowed to die here, yet... But once we get out of here, you better tell me about that thing you said in detail, stupid master. No excuses, no lies!!" Alessia says, her face red with anger, jerking out of my hand and struggling to run much faster to leave me behind.

'What did I do? Well... At least it looks like we'll be able to outrun our pursuers now.'
