Chapter 32 – The Princess’ Request (1)
The morning after arriving at Turchen Castle.
I opened my eyes as I felt the fragrant scent of Yuria in my arms.
“Uhm…”
When I woke up and started squirming, Yuria also woke up.
“…Good morning, Yuria.”
“Yes…”
Side!
Yuria took a quick look at my face, then pulled me in and kissed me lightly.
“Good morning~~. Jinu, hihi.”
Then he smiles playfully and says good morning.
It’s a smile that you never get tired of seeing.
“Yuria, please stand up now. Jinu, please wake up too.”
I hear Ellie’s voice behind me.
When she turned around, she saw Ellie already ready to go out.
“What about Aria?”
“He got up first and went to his drivers. I took him there just in case, but I plan to go back.”
It’s so fast.
I lifted the blanket and got out of bed.
“Then, let me get up soon. It looks like it’s going to be a busy day today.”
Since meeting Yuria, I have always practiced in the morning without missing a day.
After meeting Aria, when she was traveling in her carriage, she sparred with Yuria whenever she had time to rest her horse.
Now her basic posture has become more and more familiar.
I had high hopes that I would be able to learn the Dragon Knight’s skills if it was a power that allowed me to use game items, but unfortunately that didn’t happen.
If I have a next meeting with God, I will have to ask him in detail about this power.
“My posture is getting better, Jinu! Then, shall we move on to sparring?”
In this way, I first practice her basic posture, warm up her body, and then spar with Yuria.
Of course, I deal with Yuria without using her skills, and I spar with every item I have.
After increasing the distance between me and Yuria, we faced each other.
I went first without anyone giving me a signal.
I narrowed the distance and slashed horizontally, but Yuria easily dodged it.
Of course, all I could do was use basic sword techniques, so I attacked as I learned from Yuria, but Yuria easily dodged it with a smile.
When I see that, I get a little angry.
The only variable I can do here is to use the abilities of game items.
Fortunately, no separate magical power was needed when using the abilities of the game item itself.
It seemed to work with the power within my body, so not only I but also Elina Yuria could use it.
In the case of Ms. Aria, who has no powers, it cannot be used at all.
I lifted “Gram” Up and swung it vertically, activating its ability.
“Gram’s” Item ability increases attack speed by 20% for 30 seconds with a 3-minute cooldown.
When I activated the ability, “Gram” Felt instantly lighter and the cutting speed increased.
Normally, if the speed suddenly increases, it would be difficult to deal with it, but Yuria easily avoids even this.
We continued to attack until the effect of “Gram” Disappeared, but we were still unable to touch a single hair on Yuria.
“Huh, huh. Is this where we are today? I don’t know when I’ll be able to guess even once.”
“Hmm… If we keep going like this, I guess I’ll have to do it for a year. I don’t know if Jinu has genius talent, but…”
The factual violence that continues today is heartbreaking.
“It would be nice to be able to use the power more reliably.”
The ability of “Gram” That was used just a moment ago is limited to the user directly using the item effect.
The original item has basic stat information such as strength, intelligence, and stamina, as well as physical attack power and magic attack power.
Of course, when a game character is equipped with an item, those stats are applied and they become stronger, but those stats don’t seem to apply to me who is equipped with the item.
Otherwise, the basic stats of the “Gram”, “Centurion Armor”, And “Bracelet that records light” That I am equipped with would exceed 100.
If I got that level of stats, I should have felt a change in my body, but I didn’t feel it at all.
After inferring, I’m guessing that even though you don’t receive those basic stats, the attack power is applied.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to swing Gram and cut down the thick tree.
I think this is a problem caused by not being able to use the power properly yet.
“But it’s true that it’s getting better every day, so don’t be too disappointed, Jinu.”
As soon as Yuria finished her training, she came up to me, crossed her arms and said,
“I hope so.”
Unlike Yuria, I was covered in sweat and took a quick shower, and soon it was time for lunch.
Ellie decides to go to Ms. Aria and escort her with her knights, so she is not present at the moment.
So she went to eat lunch provided by the dorm with Yuria.
Previously, while traveling by carriage, we had decided in advance what to do when we arrived at Turchen Castle.
Ms. Arya gets in touch with her helper who will help her enter the capital Brighton Castle, where her father is located, and until then we decide to look for traces of game items in Turchen Castle.
In the meantime, in case Prince James’s assassin came, Ellie and Yuria decided to take turns escorting Aria, and today it was Eli’s turn.
So after lunch, Yuria and I decided to investigate the Sword Master and Archmage, who were presumed to be game characters.
First of all, since I had seen the records at the previous village library, I decided to go to the library first because I thought there might be some clues at this library as well.
“In times like this, it’s definitely hard to find…”
I looked around the library and tried to find information related to game characters, but it wasn’t easy.
Moreover, Yuria couldn’t concentrate well as she had nothing to do with this book and she began to doze off.
She was cute that way and I felt bad for forcing her to do it, so I left it alone and tried to find it on my own.
Unfortunately for her, until dinner time she browsed the library books but she couldn’t find any clues.
I’ll be able to walk around with Ellie tomorrow, so I’ll have to focus more on looking for it.
When I went to visit Yuria, I found that she was now sleeping face down on her desk.
“Yuria, let’s go back now. Wake up.”
“Umm… Jinu… Hug me…”
I picked up Yuria, who was still half-asleep, probably not fully awake, and held her in her arms.
If you look at it this way, it feels like raising a cute daughter.
Of course, she had a hot night with that daughter-like woman, but it’s wheat.
When we arrived at the accommodation, Ellie and Aria had returned first.
Aria wears a mask and cape that she doesn’t know where she got it from so she can’t reveal her identity.
However, I was able to tell that it was Aria thanks to her blue hair visible behind her and her voluptuous body that was not completely covered by the cloak.
She brought Ellie dinner when she got back so she could eat it inside the room just in case.
We ate the dinner Ellie had brought and got ready for her bed.
“I didn’t even see your face because I left early in the morning.”
“I see. Did you have good contact with the assistant?”
“Unfortunately, I tried to contact you as soon as I got here, but we haven’t connected yet…”
It would be nice if this could be resolved all at once, but the reality is that it is not.
“Are you using magic to communicate?”
“Yes. We can talk to each other through the receiving port here. I sent a signal, but it is not being received yet.”
Although Aria is a princess, she has a talent for magic, which she has learned to some extent, and thanks to this, she is able to contact her helper and receiving sphere at Brighton Castle.
She asked if it was possible that someone else could receive it, but she said that the receiving tool she was using now was a special tool that could not be used unless she was the owner.
“I see. But don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll get a call.”
I spoke to Aria and held out her palm.
“Yes. Thank you, Jinu.”
Then, Aria took my hand in both of hers and smiled brightly as she answered.
Why are you suddenly holding her hand?
“Why are you doing that?”
Aria must have noticed that my expression had a question mark on it, so she tilted her head and asked.
“Suddenly he held my hand…”
“Yes?”
I guess he thought I extended my hand to shake his hand.
“I was just trying to get money.”
“Uh…Ah! I see! Aha, I’m so… Confused too! Ahaha.”
Aria’s face turned red and she spoke gibberish, probably because she was embarrassed that she had misunderstood.
“I will pay you in advance with the money I have. I will definitely give you the rest by any means possible after I resolve the matter with Brother James.”
“Of course I should. Aren’t I a volunteer too?”
What I asked for was 10 gold, but the total amount I received today was about 1 gold.
Even though she was a princess, she couldn’t have carried a lot of money around.
“But Aria, are you really going to sleep here?”
Of course, I thought I would move to the driver’s quarters.
“Yes. I’m sorry Lord Zetsu, but it’s safer for her to be with Miss Ellie or Miss Yuri.”
“That’s true, but… Aren’t you uncomfortable living with me?”
Of course, I thought that living with me, a man, would be uncomfortable.
It seemed like something that would only happen in a romantic comedy would happen if we stayed in the same room.
The female protagonist is washing or changing her clothes when the male protagonist enters and sees her naked body.
Isn’t there such a situation?
I don’t want him to be bothered later by saying he saw the princess naked.
“It’s something I have to deal with. And I’m not bad either…”
Aria blushed and trailed off, so I couldn’t hear her properly.
“Keuhum! Jinu-nim, today is my turn.”
While I was talking to Aria, Ellie called me and pulled her collar.
“Oh, so you decided to take turns sleeping?”
“Yes. Then let’s go.”
Ellie pulled me towards her bed.
“Aria, have a good dream with Yuria.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow then.”
Yuria must have slept a lot in the library during the day, but she seems to be sleeping a lot today and is already lying in bed sleeping.
“Good night, Ellie.”
Ellie and I lay down in the same bed and I closed my eyes.
But I couldn’t sleep.
This was because Ellie came towards me and placed his hand underneath me.
“Ellie? What are you doing? Is Aria next to you?”
I spoke to Ellie so softly that Aria couldn’t hear.
I rented a fairly large room, so the two beds were quite far apart, but it was enough to be heard if I spoke loudly.
“It’s okay. If you want to hear it, just say it.”
Meanwhile, Ellie began to take off the clothes she was wearing, one by one.
I was embarrassed and excited by Ellie’s sudden temptation.
In fact, she hadn’t done anything since meeting Aria, so she was pretty piled up.
My sexual desire, which had been blocked because I had never done it before meeting Ellie, was exploding after I did it once, but I had no idea that Ellie would ask to do it herself today.
Naturally, I kissed Ellie and started mixing her tongues, and my hands moved to Ellie’s voluptuous breasts and buttocks.
“I don’t know why this is happening all of a sudden. Is it because of Aria?”
“… It’s not like that…”
It was clearly a dark room, but I could tell that Ellie was embarrassed.
That Ellie was truly lovely.
And then, when we started in earnest, Ellie and I became one under the blanket, moaning and not caring that there were other people in the room.
I spent the night like that.
