Mission

Now that Sam and his team had proved themselves, Sam was ready to have them undertake a mission, asking the girls what they wanted to do. They looked around for a moment, but when they answered, Sam was surprised by their selection. The girls had chosen a dangerous quest outside of their wheel; the girls had chosen to seemingly defeat a knight of black-grey stone-silver armour, oozing red lights from the gaps. This monster was of particular interest to the girls, and Sam didn't know why, so he kept asking and asking why this quest was so important, worrying they were hitting above their belt. When they finally relented, the girls whispered something in Sam's ear that made him perk up, asking if they were sure about this, getting confirmation before pressing on. When they doubled down, Sam agreed, watching them spark up as he said he was taking on the hit, making the receptionist gasp as she saw the high threat rating on this hit.

As the target was so dangerous and well-defended, currently having several raid teams preparing to cooperate, the receptionist had to make sure Sam knew what he was doing.

Sam put on a confident smile as he told her he had a plan, but he wouldn't say, instead pushing forward his shortstack goblin cuties. Getting the wrong idea, the receptionist asked if he was sure before approving the mission, believing Sam would pull back once he lost his crutches.

With the guild's approval, Sam and the girls left to go on their mission, immediately getting the girls captured. When asked wth he was doing by the raid members spying on him, Sam said it was all part of his plan as he climbed into a tree and waited. Three hours later, the target arrived, getting called "the Red Knight" (RK) by the raid members still watching a confident Sam.

Sam was wary, pulling out his honour duel sword, despite lacking the armour, as he looked at RK. Sam heard a girly chuckle from RK as she readied her sword and launched in to attack Sam. Sam's special technique is hyper-specific, so when someone like RK moves as fast as she does, Sam has to use a fighting form that emulates water, clashing with her back and forth, mostly losing ground, but also gaining some. Sam thought he had things under control, but when RK pulled out a fist to the gut, he heard her chuckle through her armour as she picked Sam up from his clothes, his gut and face facing the ground. Sam was like a kitten having its mom bite its collar to carry it; he was a little embarrassed, but mainly worried and confused at what was happening right now. As he asked his six lovelies to fill him in, they chuckled and came forward, teasing Sam before asking RK to let him down as everyone sat together to discuss.

Clearing the biggest mysteries, RK started from the beginning, saying how Sam letting his goblin wives surrender themselves to an army of males wasn't the safest move, but she applauded his trust in them. As for what the girls discussed with RK, she accepted.

When Sam asked what RK was talking about, she took off her helmet and told Sam she was willing to join his harem, making Sam jump back and blink in shock as his brain processed this random declaration.

Sam keeping up with RK in battle was impressive enough, but RK giving herself to Sam's "harem" was another thing entirely. For starters, RK wasn't just some average goblin; her class was goblin empress. The only reason she wasn't sitting on a massive throne over multiple goblin kingdoms was that she wanted a male who could match or best her in strength, leaving a lot of male goblins to be desired, building resentment. If not for the raid teams attacking goblin nations underground, RK might have had to flee anyway, ending up with a far smaller hoard to run away with. But now that she has found a man who could best her, although only in honour duels (and apparently sex), RK was willing to give herself to Sam, becoming his tamed monster after learning of his special predicament, giving her a degree of freedom more than most monsters WITHOUT a tamer contract. As for her hoard, RK said the humans could get rid of it, now that she didn't need it, suggesting the humans and other races present could spread diseases amongst her ranks as they rushed to other nests.

When asked why she was so easily giving up her power, RK gave simple and pragmatic responses. For starters, even among goblin females, there isn't a natural sense of kinship. Furthermore, RK only had that hoard to protect her and keep her free of worrying about her neck. Since Sam offers far better prospects, although he's a bit poor, RK was willing to become his lover, giving Sam her first, a surprising comment to everyone present, as even Sam's other six women lost their virginities long ago.

When asked why and how, she answered that she had had this ideal of a strong man since long ago, so none had been able to best her, at least not while she spent her time getting stronger in the sisterhood, later rising to a matriarch of her district.

As for RK's form, she was of human height, a bit taller than Sam, who was only slightly above average in height, and she was equally as stacked as the other girls.
