Chapter 157 – The Two-Faced Receptionist.
Germi is watching me pack my things with her arms crossed. It looks like she’s standing slightly slanted, covering her groin. She’s probably climaxing and her pants are wet.
Now that we know what Germi’s fetish is, we should focus on targeting it. It’s an opportunity I got, and I can’t miss it.
“Will you come again tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow? Why tomorrow?”
Germi tilted her head at my question.
“Massage, it’s hard to see the effect with just one day. You have to do it consistently.”
“Tomorrow too… Massage…”
My ears perk up. She seemed delighted, but Germi nodded her head without expressing much.
“Oh, if you want to give me a massage, come or not…”
She answers with a grunt, then blurs her tongue. She wants another massage, but is clearly shy.
“Then I’ll come tomorrow afternoon.”
“Afternoon… Afternoon…”
Germi’s tail sways gently from side to side as if it’s pleasant.
Don’t you know yourself? That her tail and the movement of her ears make it obvious what she’s thinking?
“See you tomorrow.”
“I won’t see you off, so hurry up! Don’t fall down again!”
“Are you worried?”
“What are you worried about! Because I have to get a massage tomorrow too! Get out quickly!”
Germi dyed her face red and she pushed me on the back.
The taste of teasing is excellent. If I knew you had this kind of personality, I wish I had narrowed the distance like this a long time ago. It was a little late to figure out about Germi.
Let’s actively use this information even from tomorrow.

“I’m here~”
“You are here!”
As soon as I returned home, Natalia greeted me by hugging me. Behind Natalya, I could see Roin sitting on the sofa and waving her hand.
“Where have you been?”
“I got money from the mercenary guild. What about Thermia-san?”
“He said he was late for work today. I heard there was a request for fabric delivery.”
“Hmm.”
I’ve heard that in this world, the fabric made from the thread of arachnid monsters is regarded as the highest quality product in the textile industry. Among them, the highest quality was said to be fabric made from Arachne’s thread. The quality of Thermia, which uses the thread of the Giant Spider, may not be as good, but it should be of the upper-middle class.
“I can leave in a little while.”
With Natalya at her side, she walked over to the sofa and sat down next to the old man.
On the table, I saw the wand I had taken from Seirwynn before.
“Oh, it’s Natalie. I have a question.”
“Yes?”
Natalia, who was buried in my arms, raised her head and looked up at me. He gently stroked Natalya’s cheek and looked at the wand.
“This is a wand. I heard that electricity was created when I poured mana into it before. Is that what it used to be?”
“Yes, each magic stone has a different characteristic. Depending on the characteristics of the magic stone, the effect produced when mana is poured into it is different. In the case of this magic stone, it creates electricity.”
“Then, if I pour magic into this, can I attack with electricity like Seirwin?”
“It is not.”
Natalia shook her head at my question.
“As I said before, only those who have received the protection of the god related to that energy can handle the energy. I can also create electricity by pouring magic into this staff, but I can’t collect electricity and throw it in the direction I want like Mr. Seirwin.”
“Um, that’s right.”
“These magic stones are expensive. Wizards who worship those who burn the world or wizards who serve those who sparkle rapidly cannot use magic unless they have the energy involved.”
In other words, you can handle fire, but you cannot make fire. It is said that magic stones are needed.
“I am the same. You can’t use magic without a corpse or a skeleton sphere.”
“What magic did you use on me before? You know the magic you cast on me when I couldn’t understand the language.”
Natalya had cast translation magic on me or removed semen using magical powers. Isn’t that magic?
“White magic is a different kind of magic than using the power of a god. I don’t know who invented the magic, but it matches the wavelength of this magical power with the brain waves. That’s how we inject fragmentary knowledge about language and speech. Thanks to this magic, I can communicate comfortably with foreign peoples of different races.”
“Then, what about the magic contraceptive you used every time?”
“It is the same thing. It uses the wave of magic power. This is going to take a long time to explain…”
If Natalya gets longer, it must be ridiculously longer. I don’t intend to be a wizard, so why do I need to know? Let’s just pretend that’s the case.
Thinking of Thermia, who must be working hard at the store, she looked at Natalia and Roin.
“Is everyone ready to go out?”
“Of course.”
“I was waiting for Hanseong-nim to come back.”
I took the two of them and headed to the shop I had promised with Elina.
Entering the back alley of the mercenary guild from the western main street, I felt the atmosphere of the bustling night street.
People wandering about drunkenly, people making toasts with tables spread out on the street, and even the appetizing smell of grilling meat.
It was the street where the mercenaries who lived day by day had a party.
“It’s a bit lively and lively, unlike a brothel.”
“Huh.”
Roin nodded at my murmur.
The brothel side is also lively, if lively.
But the feeling here is quite different. If that place is lively with a gloomy atmosphere, here is the lively feeling of the night street.
“We have to walk a bit further to the place Elina-san told us about.”
She walked to find the address she had given to Elina. She was able to find the shop she wanted when the street was getting dark, as the raucous noise faded away, the number of tables spread out on the street gradually decreased, and the light in the shop decreased gradually.
As I opened the door and entered, the door hinges creaked and greeted the visitor.
“Welcome.”
An elderly man with a rather dignified appearance greeted her at the counter, wiping her glass.
It was a bar-like atmosphere with a dark feeling overall with the light shining softly.
“Hanseong-san, this way.”
As I entered the store and looked around, I heard Elina’s voice from a corner. She also saw Fade sitting across from Elina.
We arrived just in time, and there were several dishes steaming on the table.
“Mmm~ It smells good.”
“This is my regular store. The store is also quiet, so it’s pretty nice.”
Elina smiled. When I saw her during the day, she had a lively face, but already her face was full of dark circles.
“Miss Elina, you must be quite tired. Her face was fine during the day…”
“Yes? Haha. I get a little tired after work. Come on, sit down.”
At Elina’s invitation, everyone sat down. She looked around us and Elina raised her glass and gave a short toast.
“Everyone had a hard time exploring. For the dead, and for our lives!”
Dead people. In fact, none of the people sitting here did anything wrong.
In the first place, didn’t they die because they were wrong? Dumb little bastard, Sayirwyn killed them while fighting among themselves, and Jimmy bastard killed Bisil’s bastard.
I killed Sei Lewin, but he died because he did something to die. That is, natural death. I’m not wrong.
She drank and told stories about what had happened between the expeditions. She seemed a little excited about Elina, so she asked what she was curious about.
“What was it that you were trying to make by collecting the Spider Queen’s egg, the Stone Eater’s blood, and the queen ant’s magic stone?”
“Ah, is that it?”
To my question, Elina answered with her tongue slightly twisted in her pronunciation. She seems to be in an agitated state.
“The field I am studying is related to biology.”
“Biology?”
“Yes, it is to create a new life by combining monsters. Do you know what a homunculus is?”
“Homunculus?”
I’ve never heard of it. Doesn’t that mean the little man in the flask? It is commonly referred to as an artificial human being created by an alchemist.
“There are rumors that the royal family is researching combinations of humans and monsters, but that is just a rumor. I create monsters and combinations of monsters. What I was trying to create was to create a spider queen that could act as a colony.”
“The role of the colony?”
“It is a spider that can produce large numbers of spiders like a queen ant. And she manipulates that queen so she can control her spiders.”
In short, Elina’s goal is to turn an ant-like colony into a spider.
“The Spider Queen can control spiders, right? Does it make sense to remodel her?”
“That’s because the Spider Queen uses the magic stone inside her body. This is because she uses the magic stone of the queen ant, so people can interfere. And she adds the ability to proliferate that the queen spider doesn’t have.”
“Hmm.”
“Since we have all the materials, we plan to start researching tomorrow.”
“Incredible.”
“Um? Yes.”
Elina’s eyes, which continued to drink while talking, slowly began to open.
“But do you have enough money? You spent a lot of commission money while exploring this time.”
“Ah~ that’s all supported by the Alchemist Guild anyway. There is also performance pressure, so if I fail in this research, it will be a big deal.”
“A big deal?”
“I have to ask for all the money the alchemist guild supported for research expenses. The deadline was tight, so I followed the exploration of the ant burrow myself.”
Was there a backstory like that? I thought it was just the feeling of a child waiting for a graphics card.
“Ummm, hmmm. If only this research is successful and results are raised, there is no need to worry about money.”
“Are you worried about money?”
“Because it can multiply a swarm of spiders. In the textile industry, spider thread is a pretty good raw material.”
The fabric is copied. Do you mean this?
I suddenly remembered Thermia.
