Chapter 80 – Upgrade Iron Rank (3)
I pondered for a while at Celis’ joking question, “Did you drink with a woman?” Telling the truth to a woman could have offended her. No matter how much it was for work, in the end it was with a woman.
But even so, I couldn’t lie. When I was caught, I lost a lot more than I gained, and more than anything, I didn’t want to lie about it.
Because I told the truth.
“That’s a woman.”
“…Yes?”
Seris stiffened for a moment, and her eyes trembled. I scratched her head.
“I was just talking about work. Don’t worry, it didn’t happen like you imagined.”
“Sah, imagining it. You know what I was thinking…”
“I think I can tell without looking at it.”
He kissed Seris on the forehead. She rolled her eyeballs again.
“It’s really not..?”
“Huh.”
“Yes…”
Celis was relieved, but she also put on an expression that she felt sorry for. I nodded and sat down at the table.
“Shall I get you some tea?”
“Yes, please.”
Seris made two cups of hot tea and sat next to me and handed them to me.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. By the way, what did you come here to talk about?”
“It’s not long before you and Kara’s iron rank upgrades.”
“Really?”
“Huh.”
He nodded. Then Seris smiled and sipped her tea. It was so cute that it couldn’t be compared to the pretending to be pretty that a woman named Amy did.
“…?”
Cersei, who had been sulking, suddenly put her question mark on her face.
“I asked what you were talking about. Why are you talking about promotion… Ah, is the person you drank with Orr?”
“No. The one I drank with was another woman, and the work is related to the iron level upgrade. He said that once you complete the request Mr. Orr gave you, you will be promoted immediately. The request is to catch baby basilisks.”
“A basilisk?”
Seris didn’t seem to know about the basilisk. I told you the rumors I had heard about the Basilisk. Her mouth fell open.
“How do we…?”
“What I said was about the Eucharist, and what we’re going to catch is the bastard.”
“Are the cubs less dangerous?”
“I do. In terms of size and strength, it seems to be far behind the adult.”
“Okay.”
Seris let out a sigh of relief.
“Then, is the person you drank with a colleague you will be working with?”
“That’s right. She had a minor quarrel, so I tried to switch to other people, but she was well prepared. So we decided to do it together.”
“A colleague… It’s been a while. Has it been about a month? The last time we worked with someone else.”
“It’s been over two months.”
“Already? Time flies so fast…”
Céris looked at me and she dragged my chair aside. She clung to my side and leaned her head on her shoulder.
A pleasant weight was added to her shoulders. Stretching out her arms, she hugged her waist.
‘Is it time to stop?’
When you fight, you put ‘Cheonma’ in front of your movements. It was so cute and we kept it because we acted on our own for a while, but I think it’s time to quit.
People you don’t know might laugh at you, and if the other person is a human, you might be able to spot her movements with a chirping sound.
“Seris.”
“Yes?”
“That… The thing about adding ‘Cheonma’ in front of every fight… That was actually my joke.”
“I know.”
“I’m sorry… Huh?”
She turned her head towards Seris. Ceris leaned on her shoulder and looked at me. If they moved just a little bit, their faces would touch each other.
“Did you know?”
“Yes. No matter how much I searched the Heavenly Demon Art, there was nothing like that.”
“Then why…”
Did you follow my words? Before he could say it all, Seris answered.
“That’s because Yooseong seemed to like it. It’s a bit embarrassing, but they say they like my man. What do you think?”
“Ah…”
“Is this story brought up because of a request? Do not worry. I won’t even bring out the character ‘Chun’ for the Heavenly Demon. Ah, it seems like it has become a habit and it might come out by mistake once in a while… But Yooseong-ssi, please gloss over it.”
Ceris laughed and then she put her nose to mine. She soon followed her mouth.
* * *
On the morning of two days after receiving the request, we left the house and headed to the meeting place. The two men and Amy were out first. Amy, who spotted me, shook her hand.
“Han Yuseong, here it is, here it is!”
Whenever your hands shake, your chest shakes as well. Maybe that’s what was intended.
“…Where are you looking?”
“Shaky hands.”
“Lie.”
“…Actually, I saw a glimpse of her heart shaking. Sorry.”
“Next time, don’t lie. And…”
…Tell me if you want to see boobs. Kara murmured. Her ears are a little red. It seems embarrassing to talk outside, even if it’s at home.
“Are you going to show me whenever I tell you?”
“Uh, anytime?! Bar, if not outside…”
“I’m fine outside as long as there are no people around.”
“Sister?!”
Kara was frightened. I smiled and walked towards the two of them and Amy.
“What, why did you come so late~ You waited.”
Said Amy with her characteristic pretentious smile.
“To be late. You came out too early.”
“Hmm… Well, aside from that… What about the women next to you? Is it your colleague?”
Amy looked back and forth between Seris and Kara. Especially when looking at Kara, she looks wary.
Well, if another pretty woman comes to the queen bee party, the existing queen bee will be nervous.
“He is my lover.”
“Ah… He?”
Amy pointed at Kara. I shook my head.
“Both of them.”
Amy and the two other men’s eyes widened. I hugged Seris and Kara’s shoulders. He looked at the two men and frowned.
“Then stop looking at me like that. Before you gouge out your eyes.”
“What, what?! What eyes did we look at…”
“Cut your eyes.”
“…”
They hesitated for a moment, then turned their heads slightly. Amy looked at them pitifully, then she smiled again.
“Okay? Ability is good Rather, let’s go to the carriage. My legs hurt from standing still. Let’s talk about the details and the statement there.”
She decided to follow Amy’s words. We climbed into the carriage.
* * *
The village was a bit far from the city. I arrived at the village when about 6 hours had passed. We went straight to the village head, got our face stamped, and listened to a detailed explanation.
“It was found a few days ago by Rosie, who was out gathering herbs. Rosie was looking at the ground for some herbs and accidentally found the tail of a guy hiding in the ground. I was very fortunate If he grows up and comes over to the village…”
After that, the village chief explained the brutality the adult Basilisk had done and the damage the village had suffered. While appealing to emotions along with tears.
“So… Can you cut the commission a little?”
“It’s not possible.”
In the end, it was a ploy to cut money.
I refused with a single knife and headed to the place where the basilisk was found.
“I know that? Basilisks usually burrow under rocks or hide in caves.”
“Okay?”
“Huh. It’s a pup we’re looking for, so maybe it’s hiding under a rock? It’s too risky for a non-adult to aim for the cave.”
Amy’s words made sense. As we climbed the mountain, we looked carefully under the rocks. As I was tapping the dagger under a large rock, Amy approached.
“Isn’t it here too?”
“None.”
“I think finding it is more of a problem than killing it. If I make a mistake, I might not be able to find it within today.”
“I know.”
I walked away from the rock and toward Seris and Kara. Amy stuck next to me and followed me.
“What, why are you clinging to me like this?”
I frowned at her, and Amy blinked her eyes as if asking why.
“Are you sticking? It was the car I was going to go there too. Hmm… Don’t you think you’ll be here for some reason?”
“That’s the place Seris looked for earlier.”
“Ah~ I’m sorry I didn’t know… Gah!”
Amy tripped on a tree root and lost her balance. I grabbed her arm and she came towards me and leaned against her.
“Ouch… Sorry. Something caught her foot. Oh, my ankle hurts~”
As she said that, she quietly rubbed my chest against my arm. Amy’s exposed upper chest was pressed against my arm.
“Okay. She got it, so she’s off.”
Pushed out Amy grinned and she looked at me.
“Thank you. You are kinder than you think.”
“What is being kind?”
After giving a rough answer, she quickly walked towards Sister Seris. Amy didn’t come any closer.
‘It’s getting worse.’
Amy has been clinging to me since yesterday. Every time she does, she pulls away and despite the refusal she continues.
In fact, her ulterior motive goes as expected. Like the two over there, they probably want to treat me as a subordinate.
‘If it gets worse, I’ll have to do it with a straight face.’
She sighed and Kara tugged at my sleeve.
She glared at me while puffing out her cheeks.
“Did you like it?”
“Huh…?”
“I wonder if it was good that her breasts touched her.”
…This.
* * *
I looked around the mountain, but I didn’t make much progress. Eventually, the group decided to reorganize the plan.
“We’ve been looking all over this way, haven’t we?”
“Uh. Now we have to look that way.”
Amy and Yooseong talked while looking at the map they received from the village chief. Seris and Kara didn’t know how to read a map, so they just stared at it.
“Why does that sister keep clinging to her brother?”
Kara complained as if she didn’t like her. Seris had a similar idea. Amy has been steadily clinging to Yoosung since the first time she met her.
If you think about it, that’s a question. Why does that woman keep clinging to him? She must have met her for the first time yesterday, she heard…
‘Uh..?’
Suddenly, lightning struck Seris’ head.
‘Didn’t you just drink yesterday..?’
That’s what she thought, but she quickly shook her head. There’s no way Yoosung would do such a thing for them. That’s why I quickly got rid of my anxiety last night.
‘No, you drank.. Then…’
When people get drunk, their minds become weak. Seris knows that she drank a lot at the Patrick’s and looked drunk and couldn’t see her. She says she hasn’t even had a drink since that day.
But what if Yooseong drank alcohol and made a ‘mistake’ with that woman named Amy because of that..?
Then everything is explained.
Because once you experience sex with a meteor, you won’t be able to escape.
Uh? Could it really be…?
‘Oh no! Yooseong, you weren’t drunk yesterday!’
It smelled like alcohol, but it didn’t look like it was drunk. Didn’t we have a good conversation?
But really, really, what if you got sober from mingling with that woman?
As the thought reached that point, her heart began to suffocate. Her eyes seem to go black and her chest throbs.
But the throbbing wasn’t bad.
Something pleasant throbbing.
Seris’s imagination continues to expand. She continued last night.
Yoosung and Amy are drinking in the adventurer’s guild. At first it was light ale. As we talked about work, the alcohol flowed steadily.
Getting drunk little by little Feeling better, they decided that ale was not enough. He called the clerk and ordered wine. Strong wine.
Yoosung is drinking alone with Amy.
The atmosphere ripens as they exchange jokes with each other. It doesn’t look like anyone is talking about work.
Talk again and drink wine. The drunkenness is much stronger than before, and the direction of the conversation is away from work. Talk about hobbies or daily life. Psychological distance became closer.
We joke and laugh at each other. It didn’t look like it was the first time anyone saw it today. At least it was a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time.
The atmosphere matured, and Amy got up from her seat and sat next to Yoosung. She clung and rubbed her lewd body.
-Don’t do it. I have a boyfriend
Yooseong refuses. But Amy’s actions do not stop. Rather, he became bolder, and Yooseong took a drink while looking away from her.
Eventually, his face became very red. Amy whispered to him.
-Isn’t the price of alcohol too expensive..? There is good wine at my house, let’s have a drink there.
Yoosung, who was drunk and had poor judgment, nodded his head and was dragged helplessly by Amy’s hand.
And as soon as she gets dragged into her house…
“Hey…”
Celis felt her crotch get wet as her chest throbbed.
