[NTR] the Porter of the Warrior’s Party 29

Chapter 29 – [Hero] Monster Search Operation

Seria just had two people who could detect Magi, so she decided to divide the people in half around those two.

Coincidentally, our party was four, so it was just the right distribution.

… Jeren, that man, will have no time to intervene in this mission.
This work will be thoroughly carried out by the four of us.

He’s not even here anyway, so he probably has no idea what kind of strategy we’re planning.
He was effectively out of our party until the mission was over.

Okay. After this mission is over, it might be okay to find a new porter.
Just in case, as a female porter… No, there can’t be any female porters.
Anyway, let’s choose someone who is safe.
Since Seria knows it well, she should go around with her and find out.

Yes, goodbye to him with this.
Thinking like that made me feel better.

“Then everyone agrees?”

We all nodded at Seria’s question.

“Good. How would you like to share tomorrow?”
“Seria, would you like to go with me tomorrow?”

Before I could say anything, Arin gave her opinion first.
Originally, I wasn’t the type to express my opinions so actively, but these days it seems to be changing little by little.

“With me? I do not care. What about Yuni?”
“Uh? Then thank you for me!”
“… The next day is shift.”

They were whispering

Anyway, I had no reason to refuse.
He wouldn’t do anything in this big city, and even if he did, Arin would be able to stop her well.

I agreed.

After making plans for tomorrow, we went up to our respective rooms, promising to see each other again in the morning.

I’m still on my own
Of course, I can’t share the same room as them.
Even though the lord paid for it, it was a little burdensome for everyone to use each room, so as always, I took two rooms for the women and me.

He is… I’ll find a place to stay.
We paid as much as we needed, so there is no reason for us to care.

As I was thinking about going to bed early, someone knocked on the door.

Smart.
“Hero, this is me.”
“Scale? Come in.”

She was still wearing a priest’s uniform, as if she hadn’t changed her clothes yet.
No, it’s a little different. It’s the same priestly uniform, but something… It was different.

“Uh, how are you?”

Arin said that, and shyly covered the exposed parts.
Only then did I know the identity of this outfit.

It was her new priestly uniform obtained from the Cave of Trials!

Overall, it was similar, but the thighs were a little more dented and the chest bone was slightly exposed, which seemed a bit inappropriate for a priest to wear.

“Uh, uh, yeah… It looks pretty.”

But I can’t say that the clothes are a little strange, so I praised them without hesitation.

No, why the hell was the priest at the last hero party dressed like that?

“Thank you… But I’m shy, so it’s a little hard to wear it…”

She mustered up her courage to put it on, but she shrank as if she couldn’t bear it, ashamed of her exposure.

“You don’t have to overdo it. Even the clothes you normally wear are precious to Arin. I think it’s better to wear something comfortable.”
“I thought you would say that if you were the hero.”

Saying that, she smiled softly.

“This outfit… I’ll show it only to the hero…”

And then she slightly lifted the hem of her dress, which had a dent at her thigh side.

“Wow! What are you doing!”
“… Whoop, whoop.”

I hastily covered her face.
Still, when I glanced through her fingers with her curiosity, she too, her blush, was shaking her hands.

“No, even if you don’t force yourself to do that…”
“Whew… I know. It was just a joke. I’m too ashamed to do it again.”

She said and put the hem of her dress back on.
Then, Arin came near me and quietly sat down.

“Scale?”
“Did you think I came here to show you this?”

That, then… You still have more left?

Gulp.

I involuntarily swallowed my saliva.

“Whoops… Warrior, be cute. What are you imagining?”
“I-I had no idea!”

She reached out her hand to my face.

I was frozen like ice, blushing.

Right!

She lightly tapped the bridge of my nose.

“It’s a set of sloppy ideas.”
“Uh, huh?”

When I panicked, she laughed, covering her mouth with her hand as if it were funny.

“As expected, being with the hero is always fun. But I’m sorry. I really came because I had something to say.”
“Are you talking?”

It seems that everything up until now has been her prank.
She knew it was a joke, but… It was a bit nerve-wracking though.

Her long blonde hair tickled my hand.

It would be rude if I touched it.
I held on tight.

“Anyway, warrior. Seria and the man…”
“… What?”

A name she didn’t want to hear came out of her mouth.

To her, she was sure I never confided in my concerns.
The relationship between Seria and the porter seems suspicious.

However, as a religious person, she listened to my concerns, and she said that she would forget everything she heard there.
So, of course, I thought I’d pretend I didn’t know…

“Of course I don’t remember what happened then! However, on your own to the end! I just observed the two of them!”

Saying that, Arin proudly pushed her breasts out.

I see
She, in her own way, took my concerns seriously.

Even if she had said that, she really couldn’t have forgotten it, so she must have observed little by little, imperceptibly.
I was grateful to her for taking my foolish words seriously.

“So that’s the point. There must be something strange about it.”
“Yeah, also… !”

It was also not my own misunderstanding!

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, I kept getting nervous, but since she heard this answer from her too, it felt like it was true.

Also, those two… !

“But I am still not sure. I also listened to the hero and observed them… No, on my own… ! Ugh, this isn’t it…”

As she spoke confidently, she stuttered for a moment as she slipped her tongue.

“Gwa, it’s okay Arin! Keep talking!”
“Eww… Such a stupid mistake…”

She bowed her head, disappointed in herself.
I know that feeling because I have been disappointed in myself many times.

“Ah, anyway, I’ll continue. Anyway, as of now, we have no evidence. Yes?”
“Yes…”
“And I honestly can’t believe it either. Seria is not a friend who would ever do such a thing…”
“…”

I think so too.
It’s not a very long exchange, but I think I know a lot about Seria.

She never… With such a man…

“Hero!”

Arin grabbed my arm.

Thanks to you, my mind is back.

“Ah… Go, thank you.”
“Don’t think too badly of it. She may have her own circumstances.”
“That, right?”

As she said
We still don’t know anything.

“Maybe this is an opportunity.”
“Okay?”
“Yes. Without that guy, Seria and I now have time to be alone.”

It is important that the man is not there.
Of course it’s somewhere in this city, but I don’t think we’d be splitting up like this.

“I’ll ask you more about what happened to Seria tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Arin…”

Actually, I could ask, but it’s true that I’m a little embarrassed to ask because of this and that.
Arin who is close to Seria can trust her.

“Thank you. I can’t stay still because I’m worried about Seria.”

As she said that, she gently took my hand.

“Warrior. We are allies!”
“Also, alliance?”

She shouted as she raised my arm to eye level.

“Yes! The hero and I have come together to solve Seria’s problems!”
“Aren’t we members of the same party anyway? Even if we don’t have to do this, we are on one side…”

When I asked that question out of curiosity, she put on a visibly disappointed expression.

“Ha… In that case, just say yes, hero…”
“Uh? Um, sorry…”

I’m not sure, but she seemed disappointed and apologized.

Her expression returned to normal as if she wasn’t really disappointed.

“Then, warrior. I’ll find out what happened tomorrow, so just trust me and wait!”
“Thank you Arin!”
“Yes! You just need to relax and go on a date with Uni.”

Saying that, she lightly scratched my hand.

“Dah, a date… This is an investigation, Arin.”
“Huh, that’s right. You don’t have to worry either.”
“Worry? What?”
“It’s nothing.”

Saying that, she jumped up from her seat.

“Okay then, warrior. Have a good rest today.”
“Huh. Sleep well, Arin.”

She grinned and walked out of her door.

“Ah, the warrior is my dream too.”

She said that before the door closed, only sticking her head out.

Widely.

“Uh, huh?”

What do you mean, warrior?

Does that mean she’s dreaming of me… ?

Somehow embarrassed, her face turned red.

Hey, let’s go to sleep…
It seemed like I couldn’t fall asleep because I kept having strange fantasies.

As I was taking off her clothes to change into her comfy pajamas, my eyes caught her left wrist.

Left arm wrapped in vines. The three red roses were still proudly showing off their presence.

… What? Do you think it’s a bit small for some reason?
