My Dungeon Life: Rise of the Slave Harem

As much as I wanted to remain in hiding, I couldn’t reasonable stand back while there were wounded people there. I appeared next to the girls, kneeling to the closest unconscious man with my White Mage already equipped as a job. I immediately began healing. A priest’s healing could still do some good, but when it came to fixing the body, I was the best.

“Ah, Deek, there you went!” Alysia cried out.

As the drunk Titan girls acknowledged me, I concentrated on healing each of the men in turn.

“I recognize you from somewhere.” The leader scratched his chin as he looked at me.

“It’d Deek. You met him in Mirror’s Labyrinth once.” Alysia explained.

“Oh, Titan Fall? You’re here as well? Wait? Deek? Do you mean that F-ranked party? Wasn’t that guy just a little runt?”

“He’s come a long way,” Alysia responded defensively.

“Wait for a second… I seem to recall you having a crush on him. Is that what happened? Did he and you… is that what happens when a guy sleeps with an Osterian?”

“Shut up!”

“Don’t be an idiot!”

The other girls immediately jumped down the leader of Demon’s Head who’s logic went in a strange direction. It had been a while since I had met anyone who didn’t know about my physical transformation, although I guess it could still be surprising for some. The last time I had seen them had been what felt like forever ago. To think that it was the first time that I had met Alysia. Too much had happened since then, that the time before and after my physical change felt worlds apart.

“You were saying that some other party attacked you?” I asked, trying to bring the conversation back on track even while I continued to heal everyone in the party.

As I was healing the party, I began to realize that it wasn’t just Demon’s Head. It looked like they had rescued another group, where most of the most damaged were. After making sure the most wounded got healed, I focused a group heals on everyone. At that point, the Demon’s Head members started to finally lose some of the tension in their eyes.

“Yes, we heard this party shouting for help, and we went to investigate. We saw these men cut up and tied up. They were gagged, hanging from ropes, and tied to trees. We didn’t realize until it was too late that it was a trap. We were besieged on all sides by a mysterious force. We did everything we could just to free their party and escape. Thankfully, one of my men had a one-use return item. We broke it and returned here. I hope these guys we rescued won’t mind if we charge them for it!”

It sounded like the Demon’s Head were as harsh as ever. They might have saved the other party, but they wouldn’t do it without their reward.

“Did you see who the ones attacking were?” Alysia asked.

After a second of thought, the man shook his head. “They used a lot of magic and kept their distance. Plus, there was a lot of fog out and so it was difficult to see into the forest.”

I frowned as he said that. It sounded somewhat familiar to pirate attacks that Calypso had been talking about. I decided to refresh the one from the captured party who seemed the less beaten up and then used awaken. I wanted to get to the bottom of this.
