Chapter 224 – 218 – Adventure Takes Three Steps at a Time
“It’s around this time next year. If you get pregnant now, wouldn’t it be faster for you? Then who will be the firstborn?”
Is this a contagious disease?
The person who had embarrassed me with a remark as crazy as Nidroga walked up to me with long strides, got close to my face, and spoke.
I, who was sitting in my office chair, swallowed my saliva and pretended to lie down on my desk. Erina laughed, holding her chin to prevent me from lying down.
“I knew everything. Give me what’s mine.”
“···I’m in a bit of trouble right now, Erina.”
I pointed to the papers full of documents on my desk. These are the things that Villena gave me to review.
Erina smiled and shook her head firmly.
“I know what I’m doing. It doesn’t matter.”
“What, what?”
“It’s okay, give it to me. I know it all because I heard it. I heard you’re walking around throwing rings?”
“To be honest, I’m not sure if you like me-“
“I’m not entirely sure. But what’s the harm in taking it? You say it’s a part of An-Anu’s body? You forged it yourself? I can’t be the only one who can’t receive something so precious. Give it to me.”
“···If it’s like that, would you give it to me?”
“Is it there or not? Surely you didn’t just make mine? Is this because I’m one of those passing relationships?”
“···There is.”
As I hesitated, putting my hands in my pockets, Erina came up behind the chair. And before I could even flinch, she wrapped her arms around my back and leaned her head against me.
Erina quickly put her hand in my pocket and took it out. I looked aggrieved as the ring was forcibly taken away.
Erina, with a sly smile on her face, opened her narrowed eyes and looked at me through the hole in her ring.
“It’s really great. The finishing is a bit clumsy. The dexterity is good, but it looks like the work of someone visiting the studio for the first time.”
“It’s a sad assessment that it seems plausible even in the eyes of a young lady.”
“How are you doing, Tena? Are you healthy?”
“Very good. More lively than ever. Now waiting at the party’s headquarters camp. Old friends who have been scattered for one reason or another.”
“Several key members of the extermination party were missing. Rather than for one reason or another, it was because of one person.”
“That’s right. So it would be my job to convince you to come back. What do you think? Will you come back?”
“Wasn’t I a guest member?”
“He was a coveted guest member of the extermination party.”
“Hmm. We are a bit busy with our work.”
Erina pointed behind her. There is a large sign attached.
‘The Soprania-Nitro Foundation welcomes you.’
Soprania is Erina’s last name. Nitro is Villena’s castle.
“What are you doing here with Villena, Erina?”
“We are working on a very large-scale project. It is a combination of the current state of the Demon World that we found out together with Thena, Mr. Torpedo Nitro’s underground funds, and a little bit of hope.”
Erina continued her explanation while looking around at her ring and grinning like the rest of her colleagues did.
“Torpedo Nitro’s private soldiers and Dragon’s Nest have joined forces to secure the entire MS-1 class military factory complex in the other world. We will use that as a base to start.”
“What?”
“Searching for the survivors of the Demon World and rescuing them to this world. And going one step further, reclaiming their hometown.”
Erina slowly erased her smile. But she still looked very happy.
“It’s still hard to believe that it was possible.”
“Is it possible?”
“At least the possibility is higher than ever. Mithra can no longer interfere with the secular world, and the number of fragments of the Demon King has greatly decreased. And even the Demon God, the source of demonic energy, has disappeared. I have never had more hope than now.”
I glanced down at the ‘Foundation’ employees who were busy moving around under the terrace.
Among them, there are several survivors who were rescued from the demon world in the past. Judging by the atmosphere it gives off, most of the employees at this facility are probably survivors of the Demon World.
And everyone’s eyes are burning with a vitality and heat that was not there in the past. Is hopes a sufficient or necessary condition for survival?
“This was all possible thanks to meeting you and Thena. Thank you.”
“If you really think it’s thanks to us, please consider the recruitment offer positively. I heard that the monsters’ rampage has intensified and work has exploded.”
“Rather, we would like to propose something.”
“Huh?”
“The Lord said so. The great movement of monsters will lose its focus sooner or later, probably within a few decades, and wither away. As I said before, it is thanks to the defeat of Mithra, the Demon King, and the Demon God.”
Erina took out a graph from a pile of documents and unfolded it.
Now that the influence of the demon god has disappeared, the demonic power of the world will soon be lifted. No more monsters will be created, and those already created will starve to death.
Assuming that is the case, if adventurer requests proceed actively at the current rate, within a few years will the adventurers exterminate the remaining monsters and become unemployed?
They say it only takes 9 years. I looked back at Erina in surprise.
“Of course, it’s an extreme assumption. It’s like guessing ‘how long can a farmer who loses his wheat field survive without starving to death?’ Maybe the farmer has food reserves. He might have planted potatoes for times like this. “
“Because there are still many things we don’t know about Magi. There are cases like Magul that produce Magi on their own as long as they contain an artifact.”
“But one day, one day, there will be adventurers out on the streets, despairing that there are no more worlds to explore. Maybe we can prevent that.”
Erina looked through her pile of documents again and took out one of her large files.
I smiled as I read the title.
“Business agreement?”
“Mr. Tannhäuser, the messenger of the special monster extermination party. Please go back and tell us. Let’s do something with us.”
“Are you including us in restoring the Demon World?”
“The Special Monster Extermination and Removal Party stands at the vanguard of a group of pioneers. To explore an unknown territory full of monsters, raise funds with rare artifacts, and build a city from the ashes.”
Erina playfully poked my cheek with her ring.
“We need very special experts. It would be better if they had experience visiting the demon world.”
It’s a new type of adventure. As a party adventurer, this is a proposal that can’t help but make your heart pound.
That’s it, I grabbed the fingers that were massaging my cheeks faster and faster.
After a bit of a struggle, I snatched the ring back and smiled triumphantly, while Erina snorted in excitement.
···There is an itchy and dizzy feeling that comes from being an ‘unsure partner’. We definitely met our eyes on the ferris wheel of fantasy beyond your memories. But what about now that that day has become a memory from a year ago?
Are you thinking the same thing as me? Is your heart also floating along the altitude of the Ferris wheel?
If I hold still and forcefully hold your hand, I will be able to know with the power of the goddess… But I want to hear an answer.
“I’d like to suggest that, but what are Tena’s intentions?”
“Actually, Lord and Cheonmooshin also had a vague idea of what you were planning.”
“Like that.”
“Torpedo Nitro had a good relationship with them, so they thought it was something they should help rather than stop.”
“You took a hit. No matter how secretly it was carried out, there is no way that Taiga’s son-in-law and Lord’s sire would not know.”
“And the savior of An-Anu, the great warrior of Ishtar, a time traveler, and an A-class porter.”
When I awkwardly pretended to show off, Erina smiled and turned her head.
It wasn’t like he was laughing at me. Because everything I said is true.
The Armatam Empire’s Intelligence Bureau and the Hero Task Force are said to be on guard against me, calling me a person of interest. Summeriris wants to persuade me, who is presumed to be Lord’s sire, to become one of their citizens.
And day after day, the Lord and the Compassionate on top of their heads tell me the story of a man who made Armatam startle and Summereris kneel.
···In fact, it feels like I might develop hyper-self-consciousness or delusional disorder if I continue like this. I want to return to my job as a porter as soon as possible.
“Look at you lifting your nose. I want to pinch you.”
Yeah, that’s it. A life of hearing such ordinary and mischievous words is truly comfortable. Much better than the life of a tycoon who doesn’t even want to be.
“Anyway, does Tena know roughly our situation through you?”
“So, they asked me to tell them. Make sure to stamp it and come back. We will be needed.”
I smiled with the same expression as Erina, but then my face became serious.
“Of course I need you too.”
“I know what it is. It’s a family thing, right?”
“… If I can help more people, that’s fine. I’ll definitely join in. But if luck comes to me as a reward for doing good things.”
Erina, who had experienced the loss of her family, nodded and listened to me with pitiful eyes.
“For example, just as I had the good fortune of meeting you on my last journey, if I happen to meet my mother again in the demon world.”
“I forced myself to sit down.”
“It’s not unreasonable. Even if later I find out that my mother has already passed away and become filled with regret, I will still help you. Because Etheria is still important to you. Because you are important to me.”
I said, holding up the ring.
Many colors are mixed together, reminiscent of the night on the Ferris wheel at the amusement park. A harmony of noisy black and nightly fluorescent colors.
“···Ah, I feel like my patience is being tested.”
Erina, who was looking at the ring with her pupils trembling, made an annoyed noise and grabbed my hand. And she smiled and cruelly put the ring I was holding on her ring finger.
I whined and resisted, but eventually stopped fighting for fear that ‘someone’ would get hurt. But I didn’t even put down the ring I had already put on. I sucked my lips and thought about it before speaking.
“This is invalid. I tried to create a better atmosphere and give it in a nice place.”
“I come from a noble family. If there was a ring I wanted, I tended to just pick it up at the store.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, and I can’t end my confession like this. I’ll prepare properly.
“Like the shipboard wedding where Morgan got hit with a cannon? That’s not an envoy from here.”
“How about a restaurant?”
“It’s cliché. Hmm. Which one would be better?”
Erina, who was struggling with her ring, suddenly dropped it. I barely managed to avoid falling backwards by holding on with my lower body. ‘Someone’ was almost in trouble.
Erina smiled coldly and turned her head to look at me from both sides. After forcing a smile and making a “Why are you doing that?” Expression, I became desperate and quit acting.
“What about under the desk?”
“Erina, please-“
Erina put her nose to the corner of my mouth and smelled her, and lowered her head, grinning as if she knew whose body scent was on it.
“It smells like terrible coffee…”
Below my knees.
Someone was under the desk.
This is the person who made me sit here with a radio message telling me to look at documents, then sneakily appeared from below and scared me.
While I have been groaning for dozens of minutes out of fear of being caught, this person has been engrossed in indulging in something with his mouth.
Villena, her face a mess of sweat, eyes, snot, and white fluid, was munching on her dick like a squirrel eating a banana. She occasionally twitches her waist as if feeling something about her.
Because she was in such a state, it was quite late to notice her eyes. Villena, who continued her work with her pupils dilated, was startled by Erina’s giggles.
The moment I lightly a bit down on her true glans that was just coming out of her mouth, I gritted my teeth and ejaculated while facing Erina’s mockery.
··· It was very difficult to pretend to talk calmly with Erina because of her caresses that felt like they were tearing at my waist.
‘She knows what she’s doing’, Erina said, I guess. In fact, she may have already been caught from the beginning.
From the moment Erina entered her room, I felt my face turn red from having to endure her ejaculation.
You’ve really improved a lot, Villena. I never thought I’d become so skilled without even seeing you.
It was inevitable that I would miss myself, so I made a life-size mold of my penis and tried various things.
Toi-Ban Thai, weighing 100 grams, may have done his best to ease his owner’s loneliness, but he did not receive much in return. As soon as the returned real thing noticed its clearly used existence, Villena, her face red, screamed and destroyed it with her own hands. Poor guy.
Billena under her desk trembled, her mouth open in astonishment. As the liquid sprayed out onto her face.
The point of outdoor play is the thrill of being caught, not the embarrassment of getting caught.
Fortunately, Erina didn’t question it too deeply, but focused on Villena’s fingers holding her object. A silver ring that matched her pale ring finger was worn.
“Wow, it suits you, Villena.”
“Thank you, thank you…”
“It looks fun, would you mind joining me too?”
Unlike Villena, who caught her size, it took some time for Erina to squeeze her body under her desk.
In the meantime, I prepared my mind. I just pray that no one enters this room.
