Yes...

What could I possibly do? We where naked, surrounded by guards and without weapons. Aiju was bound as well.

There might still be an opportunity to break free later. But for now I have to play along.

Even so...

“I might agree to this”, I cautiously allowed. “But I require something else.”

Cassandra looked at me in shock but Ojou-sama merely bid me to continue. “I entered this tournament for a specific reason. For that reason I need a large amount of money. If I where to drop out in Round 4, I would not achieve that goal.”

“How much are we talking about?”, the mob boss inquired.

“I need 10.000 Gold coins. My winnings as of now are 2800. Hence I would need an additional 7200.”

I was expecting her to laugh in my face. Tell me that I was in no position to make demands. Instead she just continued to smile. “That is certainly quite the steep price, Mr. Beta. You would have to make it all the way into the semi finals to achieve your goal. Do you believe that possible?”

“I don't know”, I replied honestly. “But I know that If I drop out now, I lose any chance I have.”

Ojou-sama puffed at her cigar. “Might I ask the reason for your monetary woes, Mr. Beta?”

I paused for a moment. But ultimately decided that there was no harm in telling her. “My sister disappeared twelve years ago. A magician is willing to perform a locate ritual, but requires said amount for his expenses.”

For a brief moment I couldn't help to notice Ojou-sama eyeing Cassandra, then however she nodded. “Very well. If this will ensure your compliance, then I view it as an appropriate investment. I will even up your compensation to 8000 Gold. As a sign of our good faith.”

That was rather generous of her. And perhaps a bit too easy. But I certainly wasn’t in any position to push here. “Deal”, I said. “I will do as told.”

“Excellent. With that out of the way, please stay here for the night. We will assure you reach the arena safely tomorrow. And by all means, spend the night today with your loved ones.”

One of the guards carried Aiju over and shoved her into my arms.

“T-thanks”, I replied meekly. “I appreciate it.”

The mob boss nodded. “Think nothing of it. Oh and Mr. Beta?”

“Yes?”

With the same casual smile she had since the beginning of this conversation, Ojou-sama extinguished her cigar on Feena’s bare back. The treasure hunter screamed in pain, but didn’t even flinch. “Do not betray my trust.”

After that, we where escorted to a guest room. There, we also finally received our clothes back.

Not that I had any chance to put them on. The moment Aiju was freed from her restraints she hugged/humped me.

“Mari!!!!!!!”

“I am so sorry!”, I said hugging her back with about equal ****. “I should not have send you back alone.”

“Bad guys cheated. Had to move in their direction. Couldn't fight”, Aiju explained between greedy kisses, as she pushed me towards the bed.

“Yeah”, Cassandra yawned and plopped herself down on a chair. “If you gave her an order to move back to the dorm, she wouldn't be able to do much else. Very predictable if abduction is your goal. Great job, Daddy.”

I couldn't say anything in my defense.

The huntress followed that up with a loud sigh. “If you plan to keep ordering her around, just put the Safety Orders on her. This is a disaster in the making.”

“I will keep my orders to a minimum”, I assured her. The safety orders are horrifying. I couldn't put Aiju trough them in good conscience. “In any case...we should discuss what we are going to do from now on. Aiju...could you..ugh....”

Naturally Aiju was in a complete frenzy as she mewed and purred and grinded herself against me. I may have just ejaculated but the horny catgirl still had a very easy way of making me hard again.

Cassandra rolled her eyes. “Thought the devil bitch said your sister croaked. Never told me you searched for her.”

If I wasn't so busy with Aiju I would have made sure Cassandra croaked. “Oh? You mean I didn't tell you my familial problems? Why, how rude of me.”

“So the devil was lying?”, Cassandra asked.

I ignored her and concentrated on Aiju who as already effortlessly made my dick slip inside her.

Cassandra shamelessly watched us with a bored expression. “If you want my advice, Daddy. Just take the money and forget about this. With ten thousand gold coins you can take it easy for the rest of your life. Far better then to waste it on your family.”

I snapped. “As it happens Cassandra, I don't care for your advice! Besides, if we are talking secrets...”

But before I could finish that sentence a knock was heard at the door. And shortly after Feena entered. She wore something more then last time, although not by much. Black, lacy underwear was the only thing covering her now.

The treasure hunter paid the scene in front of her little mind as she demurely lowered her head. “Mistress has instructed me to service you while you stay here.”

“Yeah, right. More like a spy”, Cassandra smirked. “Ojou is nothing if not cautious. Probably has cameras all over this room as well.”

C-cameras? I nervously checked the room but Aiju made quickly sure that my focus was back on her.

“Cass...” Feena began, before seemingly thinking otherwise.

“We have no intention... of disobeying your Mistress”, I assured Feena through my thrusts. “I am sorry about what happened earlier.”

Aiju loudly screamed as she finally achieved the orgasm she craved.

Feena gave only the smallest nod at that. “Is there...anything else you wish me to do?”

“Sure”, Cassandra shrugged. “Might as well lick my pussy while your here. Show me what a good little **** you turned into.”

“Cassandra!”

“Aiju want Mari to lick pussy as well. As punishment.”

I sighed and finally managed to gently separate myself from Aiju. “Before I comment on any of that. May I contact my friends? I want to inform them that I don't come back today.”
