"Ahhhh..." The activity I had recently done left me panting. It wasn't what one would say wouldn't be super strenuous and yet it left me panting. It only took me seconds to bring my breathing under control.
Moments later the post nut clarity hit. 'Shit.' White warm gooey stuff had landed on my stomach and on the bed I was laying on.
'She might be blind with the cloth over her eyes but her sense of smell is fine, maybe even better than normal.' I sat up and started looking around for something to clean myself on. In the rush to get up more of it landed on the bed. I scooped it up in my hands and smeared it on the floor where it looked like the most sand was gathered and scrambled it trying to make it less noticeable than it was.
Taking a deep breath I noticed the smell was still quite strong. In my rush I must have made too much noise since my ears picked up the sound of steps coming my way.I did the only thing that came to mind. Run.
There being only one exit meant to be used as one I decided to lift the corner of the tent like cloth and roll on my side.
Getting out of the tent I power walked directly away. My eyes are bouncing from side to side, both taking in my surroundings and looking around in case I see her again so I can hide.
The tent I was in was only one of many, all of them and me along with adventurers I could see around some tents and the purple blindfolded women were inside of a huge cave.
I could see stalactites hanging from the stone ceiling.Spikes jutting out from the uneven floor.
The sounds of adventurers eating, chatting and making a ruckus drew me to an area where tables and adventurers were. A large clearing with stone tables set up with scarce amounts of food but populated by some adventurers and some people wearing clothing similar to what Cloud wore when I met him.
Getting close enough to overhear what they were speaking. "-ough Nichirin metal, one more vein and we will have enough for the coming test."
"Great more time in this hell."
"We are getting the metal to bolster our forces against the creatures of the dark, it is an honor to do this. Let's finish it and go home." A man with pure obsidian black hair and matching eyes said in a commanding tone and lead the group in one direction.
Before I could follow and introduce myself I was intercepted by one of the girls I had seen walking around. "Hello, looks like you're doing better than how you were when they brought you in." She gave me a full toothy smile. "Not like I can actually see you, hehe."
"Ah…Yes I am doing better thanks to the healers you have around here.
"It was all thanks to me! All the women with healing magic around here only did quick healing magic.I'm the one who healed you with regeneration magic."She puffed her chest out and placed the finger tips of one of her hands on it looking like he was about to pull the 'Ohohoh!" laugh from anime nobles.
"Thank you so much for," I quickly looked behind me to make sure the healer woman was not end me before turning back to spot the men was about to follow, walking further away. "Next time we see each other I will give you something. Right now I'm in a bIt of a hurry."
"Really"
"Yes, Really."
"Whatever I want?
"Yes, yes."
"Promise?"
"Yes I promi…." Wait, am I giving her a blank check? Looking around one would think she would want a better place for her people to live in. Then again she could ask for something more selfish, before I could think further my mark started disappearing from my view thanks to the tents. "Yes I promise, now I really got to go, bye."
"Mhm, bye-bye." She waved goodbye with a huge grin splitting her face.

Having nearly lost sight of them I went into a full on sprint hoping to catch a glimpse of them.I almost crashed into the middle of a tent.The further I ran in the direction I saw them heading to the more my surroundings lightened up.
"-hope this is the last time I am sent to this hell." Their voices got clearer the closer I got to what I assumed was the entrance of this cave.
They had just walked a few steps out of it by the time I reached it. "Pardon me but are you going to Tsige?"
"No." The man I assumed was the leader answered. "Not straight there anyway, we are going to mine nichirin before we head back to Tsige."
"Nichirin? Are you part of the Slayer Corps?" I assumed he was thanks to his get up but its best to make sure.
"Yes I am Kiriya Nouzen, rank Hinoto." He ended his introduction with a small bow.
"Oh another Nouzen." I was glad to meet another Nouzen. "Nice to meet you, my name is Entei N-"One of the men in his group interrupted me mid introduction.
"Let's go already, my insides are getting cooked while my skin is getting charred." A blond wined while walking back into the cave.
"Your right, let's go. Join us if you want." Kiriya said before continuing his trek into the wasteland.
I followed after the group close to the last member, a teen with the features of a pure blooded Nouzen like Kiriya and my father.
He whistled some tunes as if he was taking a peaceful stroll instead of going tto mine in the idle of a desert with the sun beating down on us and a damn Cerberus could jump us at any moment.
"Hm, oh hi."After a simple hi and small bow he went back to whistling his song.
"Aren't you a little too carefree right now not to mention look very unaffected bv this heat?" I asked, maybe he is quite strong and has something enchanted to keep him cool.
"Well, our supervisor," he pointed at Kiriya with his chin. "Is really strong so I'm not worried. The heat is hmm how should I say it." He leaned his head back with his hands behind it. "Hmm." He ended up thinking about it for a bit. By the time I thought he had forgotten what even was the question I had made he suddenly said. "Cool mind, fresh body."
"....Magic?"The latter answer threw me for a loop. It took me a few seconds for my mind to bring up the image of a cartoon from a memory in my other life. Two kids in a pool party, one midget and a kid with viking parents, the latter sweating his balls off while the former was super chill. The chill one said the same or something similar as this guy. "I don't get it." I don't now nor back then how that worked.
He just grinned, continued his tune and followed the group.

Two hours of walking in that hell as one of them called it and almost finishing Yuukis canteen we arrived at an area where the stalagmite looking spikes were bunched up but no cave opening nearby which should be impossible in what I knew which might have admittedly not been a lot, or at least enough in this area.
"There is a pick-axe in there, join us to be able get out of this hell faster. Sucks we aren't going back to enjoy those perverted Gorgons after this but at least we are going back to Tsige so lets hurry." He pointed at the bundle where they had dropped their luggage before walking away to mine the spikes.
His last comment was like throwing a wrench in my mind, her retreating figure kept playing in a loop in my mind. 'If they are perverts then… was she trying to seduce me? Did I miss my chance to lose my v–card?' I shook my head vigorously enough that my hair wiped my face. "Turn off brain, don't think about it. Let's turn big rocks into little rocks."
