Chapter 289 – 289Th Episode – Recruiting A Magical Girl!
“N-Ninya, Noah! W-Where is this…?”
“Yup, this is the night street~.”
“There’s something we absolutely have to buy here.”
“S-Something you absolutely have to buy? Okay… then I’ll head back now. Everyone, buy what you need and return…”
I turned around, trying to head back to the fox’s shelter, but.
Thump!
Ninya and Noah grabbed my shoulders at the same time.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“What we need to buy now is for Tikia, so of course, Tikia has to be here too.”
“No, I don’t think there’s anything I need on a night street!?”
I’m a genius magical girl! Unless it’s a grimoire or the latest volume of Magical Girl Marine, there’s not much I need.
But what could I possibly need on a night street!
“Alright, alright, let’s go inside first!”
“You won’t regret it.”
“E-Elsie, help me!”
I sent a plea for help to Elsie, my comrade who also loves Magical Girl Marine.
But Elsie gave a slightly awkward smile and said,
“Tikia, let’s go in together first. I’m sure it will definitely be helpful to you later.”
“T-That can’t be…!”
My comrade Elsie! Even you…!!
“Alright, let’s go!”
And so, I was dragged into the night street by Noah and Ninya.
◈
The place I was dragged to was a clothing store on the night street.
The store’s name was Succubus’s Closet…
Just by the store’s name, you could immediately tell what kind of clothes they sold.
“Ringring, hi~♪”
“Ninya, welcome~. Oh? You’ve come with other lovers today? Did you get all the measurements?”
“Hehe, we came shopping together today. Oh, and…”
Ninya gently pushed me forward and said,
“This is Tikia, who’s going to be our new family member.”
“Oh my! A cute half… no, a human? Eehee? Is your master a lolicon?”
“Hehe, she’s a proper adult, you know.”
“Oh my! Is that so? I’m sorry. Did I make you feel bad?”
“No… it’s okay.”
Even though it’s annoying to be treated like a child even after they know the truth, it’s okay if they apologize right away like this.
I’m well aware that my body’s development is slow.
But…
I looked around the store.
Judging by the sign, I expected to see only revealing clothes, but…
Unexpectedly, most of them were ordinary clothes, though a bit unique.
Among them, I even saw robes and pointy hats that are often seen in the magic city.
“But what brings you here today?”
“Hehe, of course~ we came to get Tikia’s measurements for her clothes.”
“Ah! I guess that’s right! Then shall we start right away~? Please come over here.”
“Huh? Uh-huh?”
I was pushed by Ninya and went to Ringring’s side to get my body measurements taken.
“Hmm~ with this size, even a half-ling woman’s clothes would fit. But the clothes you ordered last time haven’t been mass-produced yet~ so I’ll have to place another order. Ah, you can pay later, so come back later to pay.”
“Hehe, okay. Then we’ve got the measurements… Ringring, do you have any clothes that fit Tikia right now?”
“Clothes that fit? What are you talking about? Of course, I do! If it’s half-ling size clothes, it’s this way.”
We all went to the right end of the store, and there were clothes for half-ling women that seemed to fit my size.
Of course, they were the same types as the ones displayed in the store, just in different sizes.
“Alright, pick anything and try it on!”
Ringring, the store clerk, smiled brightly and pointed at the clothes.
No, even if you tell me to pick and try them on…
Aren’t these all clothes worn to seduce men at night…?
The reason Ninya and Noah brought me here… is to pick out clothes for me to wear when I seduce Rent!?
My heart is pounding.
No, well, we’re dating now, so of course, we’ll do that kind of thing, but aren’t they all being too proactive?
Even though we’re close, are they really buying me clothes like this so I can seduce Rent?
Am I the weird one?
“Hehe, you’re hesitating to choose since it’s your first time, right? Then I’ll recommend a few, like I did at the other clothing store♪”
I put on a flowy dress that was similar to the one Ninya was wearing.
Honestly, if you didn’t know it was for nighttime use, it was a pretty dress that you’d want to wear outside too.
“It’s very cute.”
“Next, let’s try this one!”
I put on the female uniform of the 3rd Brigade of the Bridan Knights that Noah recommended.
But this one has a slightly square opening at the chest…
Isn’t this for busty half-lings?
“Hehe, it suits you surprisingly well? You’re pretty, Tikia.”
“O-Oh, really?”
Well… what does it matter if the chest is a little open.
They said it suits me!
“U-Um… Tikia, please try this one too.”
“Ah, then this one too!”
After that, I tried on clothes that everyone recommended, again and again.
When I tried on a normal mage outfit, I felt a little nostalgic, and when I tried on a sailor uniform, I felt a little embarrassed.
In the end, I ended up buying all the clothes I tried on at Succubus’s Closet.
And not with my money, but with everyone’s money…
It’s a gift, but… I thought I should give them a gift of my own later when I earn money at the party.
After buying all the clothes… with a sense of relief that we were finally done, I tried to step out of the night street.
Thump!
Ninya and Noah grabbed my shoulders again.
“…What is it this time…?”
“Now that we’ve bought the clothes~.”
“We need to buy matching underwear too!”
“…Okay.”
With an almost resigned heart, I was dragged by the two of them and entered a new store.
No, but even if it’s nighttime underwear, aren’t we buying too many see-through ones!?
◈
After finishing shopping, I returned to the fox’s shelter, completely exhausted.
Rent was sitting at a table near the counter, reading Magical Girl Marine Volume 6, with Melissa and Miranda leaning on his shoulders on either side.
…Seeing this scene, I could really feel that Rent was a harem man.
When we returned, the two of them moved away from Rent and went towards the kitchen.
“Did everyone have a good time?”
“Yeah! We bought a lot of clothes! Right~.”
“Hehe, Tikia looked really cute in all the different clothes. Rent would have loved to see it too.”
“That’s right, Tikia was really cute. Right, Tina?”
“Yes! Actually, I wanted to make her try on a few more clothes.”
Everyone was praising me for being cute.
M-My spine is tingling…
But I don’t hate it…
“Ah.”
Then Rent, as if he had remembered something, made a sound and stood up from his seat.
“I’ll go to the market for a bit.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I need to buy a bed for Tikia’s room.”
At Rent’s words, Tina clapped her hands in agreement.
“Ah, that’s right.”
“I’ll be back soon. Everyone, eat first.”
With those words, Rent immediately went outside.
After that, the employees who worked at the fox’s shelter during the night shift came, and other adventurers gradually entered the fox’s shelter.
I sat down to eat with Rent’s lovers, excluding Tina and Miranda.
…Hmm, the other members are at least in the same party, so it’s a bit better, but I’m still not used to Melissa.
“Munch munch… gulp! Ah, that’s right. Hey, Tikia.”
Noah said to me while eating.
“If it’s okay, can we do it tomorrow? It’s my and Ninya’s turn today.”
“Huh? What do you mean by ‘turn’?”
I tilted my head at the random request, and Ninya, grinning, whispered in my ear.
“The order for sleeping with Rent.”
“Huh?!”
Clang!
I was so surprised that I dropped the utensil I was holding on the table.
“S-S-S-Sleeping…”
My face flushed with heat at the sudden situation.
“Sleeping…”
“N-Noah, Ninya… you can’t talk about that here…”
“Hehe, sorry, sorry. But it’s better to say these things quickly, right?”
Just then, Rent returned.
Rent sat down at the empty seat at our table.
There was food prepared in advance at the seat Rent sat in.
“I’m back.”
“Welcome back~. Ah, Rent. As planned, it’s my and Ninya’s turn today, so can we do it with Tikia tomorrow?”
At Noah’s words, Rent made a slightly awkward expression.
“Ah, okay. But Noah, Tikia isn’t used to this yet, so shouldn’t we give her more time? And let’s talk about that after we eat.”
“Hehe, okay.”
And after we finished eating… everyone, including Miranda and Tina, went up to the 4th floor.
As I went up to the 4th floor with everyone, I felt it again.
Just how amazing is his ability to charm women?
No, I’m one of the people he charmed…
And as soon as we got to the 4th floor, we entered a room with a huge door in front of us.
Inside the room, there was a huge bed, and next to it, a trash can and a table.
“H-Huge…”
I-Is this the bed that a man who has a harem has!?
Huh? Are we all going to do it together here?
Come to think of it, Noah said earlier that it was her and Ninya’s turn today…
Huh? Then does that mean I might be able to be with Rent with one of them?
Huh?
Huh?
Even though I understand it in my head, I’m confused when I actually think about it.
Master, maybe I’m going to live a promiscuous life from now on.
“Hehe, great! Then it’s okay to talk about it now, right? I’m sorry, Tikia, but it’s my and Ninya’s turn today, so Tikia’s turn can be tomorrow, right?”
“No, there’s no need to be sorry… um…”
“Noah, you can’t ask like that. Tikia isn’t used to it yet.”
“But isn’t it better to get it over with quickly? I did it with Rent just two days after we met.”
Two days!?
She did it two days after they met!?
Are kids these days that fast?
Usually, wouldn’t you go on dates or something first!?
Or is it just that the progress of relationships is that fast in this party!?
“No, that’s… you did it as a reward for Noah saving you.”
“Hmm~ but Rent didn’t hate it at all back then~♡”
Noah, grinning slyly, poked Rent’s arm, and Rent, looking embarrassed, scratched his cheek and said,
“Well… isn’t it weird to dislike doing it with a pretty and cute girl like Noah?”
At Rent’s words, Noah’s eyes widened…
“…Really, really, really! Rent, I love you♡♡”
Noah hugged Rent.
Even I felt embarrassed by what he just said.
Rent… he says those things so casually…
And it’s so clearly genuine that even though I’m not the target, my face is getting hot.
“Wait a minute, Noah. Shouldn’t Miranda be the first one?”
“Huh? Well, yeah, but… Melissa and Miranda would have done it with Rent after we left anyway.”
Huh?!
I looked back and forth between Melissa, Miranda, and Rent.
Huh? They did it?
They did it!?
S-Surely, they did it together after we left?!
As if Noah’s words were correct, Melissa was playing with her hair.
“No… well, but…”
“Hehe, so you can give Tikia a turn tomorrow, right? We just started dating, so we should give Rent and her some alone time~. Miranda, you think so too, right?”
“Of course, I think so too. I had a very passionate time with Rent today♡”
Wow, a very womanly face appeared on Miranda’s face, which usually has a kind and warm feeling.
Just by looking at that face, I could feel that Rent had done it with Miranda and Melissa while we were gone.
He has such a gentle and cute face like a big dog…
But he was a complete wolf there…!
“…But when I first came here, I didn’t do it with Rent alone, but with everyone…”
Melissa’s shocking statement hit my head again.
A-All together?
So that means they did it with 7 people?
T-This is the debauchery of an S-rank adventurer…!!
I don’t even know what I’m saying anymore.
“Hehe, but Melissa did it with Rent alone in her hometown without us knowing, right?”
“Ugh… t-that’s… right.”
Then Elsie raised her hand slightly and said,
“U-Um… isn’t anyone going to listen to Tikia’s opinion, which is the most important?”
E-Elsie…!
As expected of my comrade!
“I guess that’s true. Hey, Tikia, do you want to do it with Rent tomorrow?”
“Huh?”
Everyone’s eyes were on me.
And I thought.
D-Do I want to do it with Rent?
Well… if we’re dating, it’s natural to do it, but it’s still too fast.
These things should happen while getting to know each other more, in a sweeter and more mature atmosphere…
No, when I think about it, Rent will be spending passionate nights with his lovers here during that time.
I’m the only one not doing it, and I haven’t done it even once…
That’s… kind of annoying.
And more than anything… there’s something I’m a little worried about.
Does Rent really… want to do it with me, with this body?
Gulp…
I looked up at Rent and asked,
“R-Rent… do you… want to do it with me?”
Rent looked me straight in the eye and said,
“Tikia, honestly…”
H-He doesn’t want to, does he?
“If I didn’t want to… I wouldn’t have… asked you to date me…”
Those words, said to me while feeling embarrassed.
“…I’ll do it tomorrow!”
It was enough to ignite a fire in my heart.
That embarrassed face is a foul!
