Chapter 117 – To The 4Th Floor
◈
After getting dressed, Ninya and I went down to the first floor.
It was still early, so Tina wasn’t around yet.
Before heading to the bath, I stopped by Miranda’s room.
Yesterday, Miranda had prepared everything in advance, but I couldn’t assume she’d do the same today.
“Miranda, is the bath available now?”
“Of course, dear. Here, take this magic stone. You know how to use it from watching Rent, right?”
“Yes. Oh, and…”
I handed Miranda the empty lunchbox I hadn’t given her yesterday, along with my water bottle.
“Here you go.”
“Alright, I’ve got it.”
“Um, Miranda… Actually, I put something other than water in the water bottle…”
“Something else?”
Miranda opened the water bottle and sniffed it.
“Ah… I see.”
Miranda looked at me and Ninya, who was clinging to my arm, and chuckled.
“I’m sorry…”
“Hehe, it’s alright. I’ll wash the water bottle thoroughly. Oh, and the bucket, soap, and towel are on the small table in the corner of the changing room.”
“Okay.”
Then, Ninya and I undressed in the changing room, grabbed the soap and towel, and went into the bath.
We inserted the magic stone into the magic tool that spouted hot water and activated it. Ninya and I first filled the bucket with hot water, then used the soap and towel to wash ourselves.
Partway through, Ninya lathered up her chest and scrubbed my back.
I felt a huge wave of happiness on my back.
Ninya had planned to get me hard and have a go at it in the bath, but I was already using my suppression magic.
Ninya was very disappointed.
She lowered her head slightly and gave up, and we enjoyed a relaxing bath for 15 minutes.
While intense, pounding sex is great, I also think it’s good to enjoy a leisurely bath like this.
Like Ninya with her twin tails undone, her hair flowing freely.
Or the way the water droplets ran down Ninya’s collarbone as we bathed together.
There’s a kind of satisfaction you can get just from looking, even without doing anything directly.
When we finished bathing and came out of the bath, Tina was cleaning the first floor, and Elsie and Noah were sitting at an empty table, waiting for us.
As we came out, Noah waved and called us over.
“Over here~.”
As Ninya and I sat down, Noah grinned and asked us.
“Hey, did you have fun yesterday? Ninya’s face is all shiny, isn’t it?”
*Prick*
Tina, who was cleaning, perked up her ears and paid attention to our conversation.
Ninya smiled brightly, put her hands on her cheeks, and said,
“Of course~♡ You already know, Noah~.”
“Hehe, even if I already know, I think it’s important for party members to share information, don’t you?”
“Yeah, that’s true. Hmm~ It was so good that I don’t know how to say it… Okay, here it is.”
Ninya raised her right index finger and said,
“I’ve never been with another man before… but after tasting Rent’s dick, I don’t think I’ll be satisfied with anyone else’s~ It was that good. It was the most intense thing I’ve ever experienced.”
Noah crossed her arms and nodded.
“Yeah, yeah, I understand. Rent is really amazing. Elsie, you think so too, right?”
“Ah, I, I… Ugh, yes…”
Elsie nodded once.
Then, her ears turned red, and she lowered her head.
“Hey, Ninya. Did you pass out too?”
“Yeah. It felt so good… my mind just flew away♡”
At Ninya’s words, Noah gave me a sly smile.
“Wow~ That’s amazing, Rent. Ninya is B-rank, and Rent, who hasn’t been promoted even once, made her pass out… How absurd are you, Rent?”
“Ahaha… Thanks.”
Then, Ninya tilted her head and asked Noah.
“Huh? Wait, Noah. What did you just say? That Rent has never been promoted?”
“Yeah. Rent has never been promoted. Right, Elsie?”
“Ah, yes! Rent hasn’t done it even once, at least while he’s been with us.”
“Really…? Rent, have you ever been promoted in your hometown?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“But you’re that strong?”
I couldn’t exactly say that I had been reborn with power from a strange being.
Then, Noah said with a resigned smile.
“Hahaha, Ninya. Think about it. He’s strong enough to break a dungeon. What’s the point of making a fuss about him not being promoted even once? It’s easier to just think that Rent was incredibly strong from birth.”
“Ah, or maybe Rent is actually the hero of this generation, chosen by Solishin… I’m going with that theory…”
I feel bad for Elsie, but I don’t think that’s the case.
Because what I met was not a voluptuous, sexy Solishin, but just a cold, inorganic voice that echoed in an empty space.
“Elsie really likes legends like heroes and myths.”
“B-but, don’t you think it’s possible with Rent?”
“Well… I guess it’s possible with Rent… I think so. He’s incredibly strong.”
“Hmm~ I see.”
Ninya looked at me once, then smiled brightly and hugged my arm.
“Well, whatever! It doesn’t change the fact that Rent is my master♡”
“Hehe, that’s right, I think it’s good to think simply like that. But…”
Noah got up from her seat and hugged the other arm that Ninya was holding.
“Don’t forget that Rent is my lover too, Ninya♪”
“Of course!”
“Ah, ah, Re, Rent is my he… hero… ugh…”
Elsie waved her hand in the air, then clenched her fist, hunched over, and lowered her head.
Her face was red, whether from embarrassment or not.
But somehow, it looked different from being red from embarrassment.
What should I say, it felt more like excitement…
*Clang!*
“Food’s ready!”
Tina placed a tray on the table.
“Huh, Tina. We haven’t ordered yet.”
“You were going to order the same recommended menu anyway. I asked Mom to make it in advance when Elsie and Noah came down.”
“Oh, thank you!”
“And Noah, Ninya… Please don’t get too lovey-dovey with Rent while I’m working. I’m jealous. I’m not an adventurer, so I don’t get to spend much time with Rent…”
“Ahaha, sorry, sorry.”
Noah quickly let go of my arm and sat down.
“Hehe, sorry, Tina. I guess I got a little carried away after our first night♪”
Ninya also let go of my arm.
“Whew…”
Elsie sighed in relief for a moment.
Then, we ate and talked about today’s schedule.
As planned, we decided to reach the 4th floor today.
“Hey, Ninya, what’s the 4th floor like?”
When I went down to save Elsie, I didn’t look around much and only stared at the floor, so I didn’t remember the overall appearance of the floors up to the 12th floor.
All I remembered was that the floor was hard, surrounded by forests, or made of sand.
“The 4th floor is mostly rocky terrain. The main monsters that appear are orcs, and very rarely, a unique monster called an orc champion appears.”
“Orc champion?”
“Yeah. It’s a big, strong orc with a strange, large belt around its waist. They use double-edged axes as weapons. Regular orcs just use axes. Oh, and Noah.”
“What?”
“Orc leather is tougher than kobold leather, so it’s better to inflict some damage before trying to take them down in one go.”
“Got it.”
“Elsie. It’s obvious, but orcs are stronger than kobolds. Don’t forget to cast speed on Noah.”
“Yes.”
“Rent… Ah, I’ll be in charge of protecting Elsie today, so you hunt with Noah.”
“Okay.”
After deciding on the party’s plan of action and finishing our meal, we were about to go to our respective rooms to prepare.
As we were about to go up the stairs, Miranda called out to us.
“Please leave your dirty clothes on the bed. I’ll take them when I clean.”
“Yes, thank you, Miranda.”
“Thank you.”
We thanked Miranda and went back to our rooms.
Honestly, I didn’t have much to prepare.
I took out my old clothes from my inventory, folded them, and put them on the bed.
After putting on the wolf fang leather and equipping my iron gauntlets, I came out of my room, and everyone else was just finishing their preparations and coming out of their rooms.
We went down to the first floor, put the lunchbox Tina had given us into my inventory, and with Tina seeing us off, we headed to the Adventurer’s Guild.
◈
As we entered the Adventurer’s Guild, we approached Lenny.
After a brief greeting with Lenny, I told her about our schedule for today.
“We’re planning to go to the 4th floor today. Are there any suitable requests?”
“Yes. In addition to recovering weapons like with the kobolds, there are also special standing missions for orcs on the 4th floor.”
“Standing missions?”
“That’s the recovery of orc corpses.”
“Orc corpse recovery?”
Why would they recover orc corpses one by one?
And if it’s a corpse, it means the whole body, not just a specific part.
“Oh my. Rent, didn’t you know? Orc meat is a popular ingredient used in cooking, so there’s a high demand for it.”
Ninya explained to me why orc corpses were being recovered.
“…Huh?”
Meat?
Could it be that orcs are treated like pork in this world?
“As Ninya said, orc meat is said to be much juicier and healthier than regular pork, and it’s been popular since ancient times.”
Noah said, tilting her head.
“You really didn’t know, Rent? There was orc meat in the lunchbox Miranda packed for you.”
“Oh, really?”
I never thought I’d already be eating orc meat.
The meat in Miranda’s lunchbox… it was orc…
…Well, if it tastes good, that’s all that matters.
Let’s not worry about it too much.
Rather, a new idea came to mind.
Orcs being eaten by humans.
The enraged orcs awaken their power and kill male adventurers and kidnap female adventurers.
Since you ate us, you must give birth to our kind!
Under that pretext, female adventurers end their lives as the saplings of orcs.
A miserable life of having to get pregnant again and again, even after giving birth!
But the only good thing is that the female adventurers, who have become accustomed to the orc’s dick, forget everything and fall into pleasure, unable to even remember who they are, so they can’t feel pain!
A dark fantasy-like delusion came to mind.
I looked at Lenny and said,
“Then I’ll take those two requests.”
“Yes, I understand. I will process the acceptance of the request for the four of you. I wish you all a safe adventure.”
◈
After arriving on the 3rd floor, we decided to use my Muscle Carriage to go straight to the 4th floor.
Then, Noah said,
“I want to go while being held by Rent~.”
“Me too~.”
In response to Noah’s words, Ninya also smiled brightly and raised her hand.
“Ah, I, I… I want to too!”
Elsie stuttered a bit, but she closed her eyes tightly and shouted.
But I only have two arms.
One of them had no choice but to ride on the jig.
So, Elsie, Noah, and Ninya decided who would ride on the jig in one way.
“”Rock, paper, scissors!””
Result.
*Thud!*
“Ugh…”
“Ehehehe♡”
“Hehehehe♡”
Elsie was riding on the jig from behind, and I was carrying Noah and Ninya on each arm.
I could feel the soft bodies and warmth of Noah and Ninya in my arms.
I had already taken off my iron gauntlets and put them in my inventory when I started doing the Muscle Carriage.
The fragrant scent of Noah and Ninya made me feel very motivated.
Elsie had one arm gently placed on my back from behind.
“That’s the jig you use when doing the Muscle Carriage! It looks comfortable, Elsie.”
Ninya said to Elsie, looking back.
“R-really? Then, would you like to stop for a moment and switch places?”
“Umm~ Sorry. But it’s more comfortable and better to be held by Rent, so it’s okay.”
“Ugh… Noah and Ninya are both mean.”
“I didn’t mean to be. Sorry, Elsie.”
“Hehe, you can just win rock-paper-scissors next time, Elsie. Don’t be too down.”
The path to the next floor was somewhat cleared by the efforts of senior adventurers, so we could clearly see the way.
It’s just that we stray off the path to catch monsters, but finding the path to the next floor in a straight line is surprisingly easy.
So, I just had to go straight along that path.
In less than an hour, we arrived at the stairs leading down to the 4th floor.
I put everyone down and put the jig in my inventory.
“Amazing. Rent, aren’t you tired?”
Ninya, who had gotten off my arm, asked me if I was okay.
“Yes, I’m fine.”
“Hehe, this is nothing for Rent.”
Elsie muttered, looking at the stairs leading down to the 4th floor.
“If we go down here, it’s the 4th floor…”
“I’m excited. Right, Elsie?”
“Yes, Noah!”
“Hehe, then let’s go quickly. My goal is to hunt a lot of orcs as soon as possible so that Elsie and Noah can both get promoted at least twice more. Adventurers can do more things from the third promotion.”
“Yes!”
“Yeah!”
“Then let’s go down.”
We headed down to the 4th floor.
