Chapter 4: Chapter 4: This Ability Is Dangerous

"Mister Morningwood, if you didn't come and save us, I and lady Milfy would be in a very bad position," Rika said.

Loki nodded. "You may just call me, Loki, I prefer to be addressed that way." He replied.

"Don't mind if we will then, Loki," Milfy replied with a gentle smile on her face. "Anyway, what are you doing in this forest alone?" She asked as she surveyed Loki's clothing.

"I would love to ask the same question to both of you." Loki thought to himself. "I am currently looking for the path to get to the nearest city or town. You two seem to be familiar with the place, maybe you can help me."

"Worry not, Loki, we can help you with that," Rika answered and pulled out a map from a black one-meter black dimensional portal. She spread the map. "Let's go, we need to get out of this place before sundown. We are currently on the Shallow Song and we just follow the path, we will reach the capital of the kingdom of Satirica."

Rika began to lead the way, and Loki and Milfy walked on both of her sides.

"May I ask, what are you two doing in this dangerous forest? And only the two of you." Loki asked.

"We are here to get something very important for Lady Milfy's business that could be found in the area of Deep Poem," Rika answered.

Loki darted his eyes to Milfy. "Business?"

Milfy nodded slowly. "I was surprised that you didn't know about me upon hearing my name, but that could be expected from travelers. I own one of the largest companies in the kingdom of Satirica, Titscorp."

Loki nodded. "Oh wow, that's amazing to hear. What business are we talking about?"

"Flowers," Milfy said. "We are here to personally pick a certain species of a flower we can breed on our farm. Rika is quite knowledgeable when it comes to wild breeds of flowers."

"I see." Loki darted his eyes to the map and narrowed his eyes. Then he put his index finger in the part saying, Deep Poem. "Uhm... I think if you are planning to go to Deep rap, you should have gone in the complete opposite direction of this place. You said we are at the Shallow Song, but the Deep Poem is on another side of the map."

Rika chuckled and scratched the back of her head. "The thing is... We were following the right path a few minutes ago, and we had an entire group of bodyguards with us, but for some reason that we can't explain, the next thing we knew the two of us were already in this place." Rika pouted her lips. "As if some kind of dark magic played on us and literally teleported us here and met those bad guys." She expressed a big smile to Loki. "But it doesn't matter anymore because you came and saved us. We are lucky."

"Lucky? Why am I getting a feeling that all of it is my fault?" Loki whispered while shaking his head. "Ah, don't worry about it, and don't think about it ever again."

Rika chuckled. "You are very humble, Loki, right, Lady Milfy?"

Milfy expressed a gentle smile, her silver fox ears twitched and her fluffy fox tail moved slowly. "Yes, he is."

"No, I am not!" Loki screamed in his head. "I am 99.69% percent sure that all of it is because of my stupid luck and my desire to build a harem! This stupid Absolute Luck is making all of my desires come true! It is bad! This ability is dangerous! I should control my thoughts from now on!"

It took them only almost an hour before they reached the end of the forest. Loki, Rika, and Milfy came out from the thick trees and walked on the dirt path. As they came out, the silhouette of an entire group of people wearing black suits darted their eyes toward the three, behind the group were 10 golden carriages, each being carried by four majestic four stallions.

"Lady Milfy! Lady Rika!" Screamed 20 bodyguards and rushed toward them.

"I didn't expect to see an army. But we are talking about the safety of the owner of one of the biggest businesses in the entire kingdom." Loki said while watching the mob rushing toward their location.

Then, all the 20 bodyguards knelt before Milfy and Rika and rubbed their heads on the dirt path. "We are glad that the two of you are safe! Forgive us that we are not there to protect you."

"Why are you all in here and didn't look for us?" Rika asked, pouting her lips.

"We tried, Lady Rika! But whenever we try to look after you and go in different directions, we all end up here!" Shouted the bodyguards.

"I think those four bad guys used some kind of magic to prevent our bodyguards from helping us. They were quite clever." Rika said and crossed her arms while narrowing her eyes.

"But, we are fine now. Our new friend, Loki, protected us." Milfy said.

All the bodyguards looked at Loki with their tough faces, some of them were humans and some were beastkins. After a few seconds of analyzing Loki, all of them knelt before him. "Thank you very much for protecting our precious Lady Milfy and Lady Rika! We have failed to protect her... but rest assured that we will never forget! That demonic spirit that took Lady Milfy and Lady Rika from our protection will pay a great deal for what it did!"

"Now, I feel guilty," Loki murmured. "Both of them are safe and unscathed, so we should just celebrate and forget about this. The enemies are defeated and your cherished ladies have returned... and that's all that matters. Now, stand up, raise your heads, and show me your pride, gentlemen."

The 20 bodyguards stood all at once and raised their heads. Both Rika and Milfy watched them with smiles on their faces.

"You are used to commanding people, aren't you?" Milfy asked.

Loki darted his eyes to Milfy. "Yes. I had been a Guild Master to several guilds in many RPGs before. When an RPG has an open mic function, you have to get used to commanding people."

"Ah... I don't know what RPG is but I think it's an amazing thing." Milfy replied. 

Loki expressed a gentle smirk—his real smirk that he showed to Milfy for the first time. "RPGs are the best things ever."

Milfy's entire body shook as her eyes became softer. Her red lips slowly separated while her eyes were feasting on Loki's smile. "Loki Morningwood, tell me... Do you have a place you are planning to go after this?"

"As of now... Nothing in mind."

"Good. Why not visit our place then... Please take this as payback for saving us."

"Yeah. I saved you from my own magic and inability to properly control it—however, free is free though." Loki thought to himself and then slowly nodded. "Sure."

Milfy's gentle smile slowly revealed. "Very well."
