"Noelle? Didn't your brother say you are out of the team?" I asked Noelle, who came in still wearing my robe The day after.
"I told him to let me be. If I had to choose, I would rather quit Arcanciel than leave this team," Noelle said. She was not her usual demure self. She was absolutely fuming.
"Noelle! I never thought you would be this loyal to the team. What an admirable kouhai." Yuuno hugged her. I wanted to hug her as well. Those melons must have been so soft.
"Great. So the team will go on?"
"Of course! We will go on adventuring as usual. Let's clear this dungeon in a month!" Noelle was excited. She pumped her fist in the air.
I somehow felt warmth in my chest. I felt a tingle in my chest. It was joy. We all toasted in a jubilant celebration. Noelle even bought an expensive-looking alcoholic cocktail for each of us. If she were offering, it would be rude to refuse. Let's have a blast.

Noelle POV
My head was a bit tipsy. The waiter said the cocktail had low alcohol, but it seemed like I was still a bit drunk.
"Greetings, Noelle-sama." Sebastian, this house butler, greeted me. I felt dread coming home. I just had a great fight with Brother Seraphine yesterday.
My brother was a great person. After becoming a blessed person, he rose through the ranks and saved my parents' company from financial ruin in less than a year. With the backing of an S-rank adventurer, the company regained its trust. Investors swarmed the company, and he was soon called the prodigy of the Yukari household.
People often ridiculed me for my figure, saying I had big boobs when I was in elementary school. Then, once I went to high school, the teasing turned into bullying. Girls were jealous of my figure, and boys kept leering at my boobs and not my face.
My brother defended me. He went to school and sued all the bullies. He also approached the boys who talked about my breasts behind my back. I don't know what he said to them, but now they took distance and look away whenever I try to talk to them. It was clear they were avoiding their gaze to my breasts.
I was grateful. The bullying stopped. But deep down, I realized they were only nice to me because my brother had threatened them. I was powerless. I couldn't do anything. It was all because of Brother Seraphine.
At first, Makoto was just like any other boy. He was leering at my breasts. However, I realized later that he was different. He was not confrontational like my brother. He gave me a thick robe that hid my figure. Ever since then, boys and girls have become more amicable. I no longer draw attention every time I walk, especially during PE.
I was so stupid. The solution was so simple. If my breasts were distracting people, I could just hide them. Why didn't I realize it before?
"Noelle. Have you eaten? Please, come in. I bought your favourite pasta and mochi," Seraphine greeted me. "Did you have a good party?"
I pouted at Brother Seraphine. But he smiled instead. "Hm… I didn't realize you were so attached to this new team of yours. Are you sure you are not being used?"
"Don't say bad things about Yuuno and Makoto!" I pouted. My brother seemed to think all indie adventurers were just in it for the money and had no loyalty. Yuuno certainly had money problems, and Makoto was not a millionaire.
But they were my loyal friends! They have saved me not once, but twice, from certain death! He was wrong to think that all of them would abandon their comrades to save their own skin in a flash. He thought that I was being used, like for the potion my brother gave me for emergencies. "If it was not because of those Red Bandits, I wouldn't have needed to use the potion. Yuuno defended me with her life. Makoto as well. If not for Makoto, we wouldn't have gotten out of there alive."
"Is that so? I'm sorry. I have filed a complaint to the Adventurer Association. The reason I pulled you were not because they are untrustworthy, but because you will be safer if you venture into the dungeon with Arcanciel. They have better ranks and gear. You have defeated an orc; guild members would look at you more amicably from now on."
"No. I don't want to," I answered.
"… Understood. In that case, here." My brother stood up and gave me three vials of medium potions.
"Brother? What's this?"
"It's for you and your friends. Just in case," my brother said. Tears welled up in his eyes. "I'm sorry. But seeing you got angry yesterday reminded me of Leon. You never met him, but he was one of the original members of Arcanciel."
"Where is he?" I asked. That was a stupid question. I've seen the photo. Among the five original members of Arcanciel, only two remained. One of them retired. The other two had perished inside the dungeon.
"Died. The raid went wrong. So, he sacrificed himself so we could get out," Brother Seraphine said bluntly. But tears couldn't help but fall from his eyes.
"Sorry." I cried as well. Brother Seraphine looked so pained. How much had he sacrificed so I could live luxuriously like this? Adventurers were the most lucrative jobs, but also the deadliest.
"No. I am sorry. I realized just now that friends like that were irreplaceable. I'm glad you've found them. I was looking at you—your safety, not your feelings," Brother Seraphine said. "Well! You have an S-rank brother backing you now. So, here."
"But… I can't accept these. These potions almost cost a hundred thousand, right?"
"Well. It is certainly rare. But so is your friendship. Make sure that you only ever use these potions when your life or these new friends of yours are in danger. Listen to your gut, not your greed. Running away is not cowardice; it is safety."
"… Thank you, Brother." I hugged him back.
Brother, thank you. I will use these well.

Makoto POV
I have put this off for too long. This time, I shall make sakura cum from her ass. The training inside her dreams had progressed well. She was no longer shy about playing outside (at least in dreams. I have never done an outdoor play with her ever since that park). She could even cum from ass when I teased her well enough.
Now, let's try to bring it into reality.
I returned to my apartment and found Sakura there, waiting for me like an obedient housewife. No! She is not a wife! She is a slave!
A part of me wondered whether her aunt and uncle ever came looking for her. But after some thought, I understood. They were just distant relatives, not parents. Why would they care about Sakura's relationship? They probably stayed inside Sakura's house thinking it was free rent or something.
"Makoto! You are late! Having a party with your cute adventurer, huh?" Sakura pouted.
"I see my cute sex slave couldn't wait to play." I smirked, "Did you get hooked by my cock?"
Sakura flushed at my provocation. Her body trembled. "N-no. it's not like I was waiting to play o-or anything."
"Sakura. You are such a horny masochistic slave." I then rang a bell beside her ear. Her body trembled and she dropped to the floor. Her breathing was ragged.
I smirked. I had only used this once. But through repetition inside her dream, this bell had become a switch for her. I then went to her back and massaged her breast.
"Hnn…❤" Sakura moaned. She leaned on me as she indulged herself in pleasure. I stripped off her clothes and bound her to my bed. Then I blindfolded her. I didn't do anything yet, but the excitement had rushed to her head so much that she squirmed.
I had prepared for today and brought lotion and massage oil online for this specific purpose.
"Cold! What is this?" Sakura yelped as I massaged her breast.
"It's just massage oil." I sighed. I should apply this before turning her switch on. That reaction had ruined the mood. I took a deep breath and continued the massage. I tickled her nipples. She squirmed with delight.
"Makoto…❤ Stop playing." Sakura begged.
"Sakura, you are mine. I will decide when you will cum." I pinched her nipple as if to punish her.
"Hnn!" Sakura arched her body and lightly came. I think I trained this girl too well. She could cum from breast alone. Last night's play inside the dream had done wonders.
I took another deep breath and flipped her body. I then opened her ass and blew air on it. Her body twitched.
After lubricating my hand, I slipped a finger in while another hand caressed her back.
"Sakura, you are my sex slave. You will get aroused no matter what I do." I whispered in her ear. These whispers had worked inside her dreams, and during plays, she reacted well when being whispered. I read a thesis that women derived more stimulation from sounds while men derived more from visuals. Apparently, it was true for Sakura.
"Hnng!! Makoto…❤" Sakura pleaded. "I don't want to cum from ass. I will really…"
"You are mine. Remember, you don't decide." I whispered. Sakura trembled. Sakura is a masochist. I was bewildered at first, but she reacted less horny when I fulfilled her plea instead of forcing her like this.
"Cum. cum from your ass and become a total slut dedicated to me." My words were the last straw. She clenched her ass, it felt as if my finger was bitten off. Then her body jerked.
A notification came soon after.
[You have completed missions:
Make the target orgasm from anal (50 Essence Shards)]

I smirked. Now, let's ignore the missions aside and enjoy the rest of the night with my sex slave. The night had only just begun afterall.
