## Chapter 121 – Inspiration
◈
Miranda went into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients.
I sat in an empty seat and asked Tina,
“So, Tina, does it mean that it’s Miranda’s turn today…?”
Tina made a sullen face and said,
“That’s exactly what it means. While Rent was out shopping with Mom, we all gathered and had a consultation. So, when we counted the remaining days, it turned out to be today… Mom ended up getting it.”
“But Miranda also has work…”
“Mom has much more stamina than me, so she’ll be fine. I don’t know yet… but as long as Rent doesn’t pass out, I think it’ll be okay…”
…I need to be extra careful when I’m with Miranda today.
“It’s still a while before dinner, so Rent, you should go up and rest. I’ll go help Mom.”
“Okay, Tina.”
“Oh, how about taking a bath? Actually, when we were deciding on the night shifts, we were going to do it in Ninya’s room, but it changed to talking while taking a bath… The bathwater is already heated.”
“Really? Then I’ll go take a bath.”
Tina went into the kitchen, and I went to the bath.
In the dressing room, I put my leather armor and steel gauntlets into my inventory, then took off all my clothes. I washed my body with soap and then went into the tub.
“Hoo…”
After a short 15-minute bath, I took out some casual clothes from my inventory and changed into them.
Then, I went up the stairs and entered my room on the 4th floor.
My room, which was four times the size of the other rooms.
In front of me was a large bed for seven people, and next to it were a trash can, a table, and a lamp.
“Hoo!”
I dove towards my fluffy bed.
I bounced up slightly due to the elasticity, but soon my whole body was enveloped by the soft touch of the bed.
Looking at the large bed, I did something I had wanted to do at least once.
I flipped over and looked at the ceiling of the bed, lost in thought.
There’s still time until dinner.
What should I do in the meantime?
Right, since I’m alone, let’s just have a quick… Oh.
Then, I remembered what happened at the temple, which I had temporarily forgotten while shopping with Miranda.
Possession dream…
With this skill, I decided to refrain from Solishin’s delusions tonight until I meet Solishin.
When I got inspiration, I could recall both the name and the effect of the skill.
Come to think of it, it felt like this when I got the suppression skill.
There are activation conditions for the possession dream.
That is, falling asleep.
If I decide to use this skill and fall asleep, the skill will activate.
I wonder… what will Solishin say to me?
I’m getting a little anxious.
Is there anyone who knows about this skill…?
Then, Elsie’s words came to mind.
Come to think of it, the statue of Solishin was also made based on the appearance of Solishin that the elven saintess saw in a dream.
Elsie might know something about the skill I have.
I got out of bed and left the room.
My room was right next door.
I knocked on Elsie’s door.
Knock knock.
Creak.
“Yes, who is it? Oh, Rent! You’re back.”
When I knocked on the door, Elsie, wearing the casual clothes she bought yesterday, opened the door.
“What’s the matter? Oh, come to think of it, you didn’t use all your magic today! Did you come to get healed?”
I had made a promise with Elsie that if I didn’t use all my magic that day to increase my magic power, she would heal me.
“Yeah, that too… and I wanted to talk to Elsie.”
“Come in.”
I entered Elsie’s room.
I sat on the bed next to Elsie.
Elsie placed both hands on my forearm.
“Then I’ll heal you. Rent, what do you want to talk about? Heal!”
A light green light came from Elsie’s hands and enveloped my forearm.
“What’s Noah doing now? Wasn’t she listening to Elsie?”
“Noah is sleeping in her room after we decided on the night shifts. Ninya is also in her room. Oh, and tonight’s shift is…”
“Yeah, I heard from Tina. It’s Miranda, right?”
“Yes… Two days ago, Noah and I did it at the same time, and Tina also did it that day… and Miranda did it yesterday… When I thought about the order, it turned out that way. B-but, more importantly, what do you want to talk about, Rent?”
Elsie changed the subject, embarrassed about the night shift talk.
Normally, I would want to see Elsie even more embarrassed, but right now, I also have something I want to ask Elsie.
“Elsie, you said that the statue of Solishin in that chapel was made based on the appearance of Solishin that the elven saintess saw in a dream.”
“Yes. To be precise, the first statue was made in Solario, and the other statues were made following that statue. Oh, Solario is a holy nation located in the west that worships Solishin.”
“I see. Then… has anyone else seen Solishin’s appearance in a dream besides that elven saintess?”
“Besides the elven saintess? Hmm…”
Elsie closed her eyes and thought carefully.
“I’ve never heard of that. In fact, the only person who has seen Solishin’s appearance is the elven saintess who saw it in a dream. Oh, heal!”
“I see…”
“But even if they can’t see her appearance, there are quite a few cases of hearing revelations. All the saintesses of the time have said that they have heard Solishin’s voice.”
“Really?”
“Yes! Although the number of times they hear revelations is small, the saintesses have all heard Solishin’s voice at least once.”
“What did she say?”
“Most of the time, it’s when a demon king appears or a dragon goes berserk, causing a crisis for humanity.”
“Dragon?”
I know that there are dragons in this world.
They often appeared in the fairy tales that the village chief read to us.
Elsie said with sparkling eyes,
“Yes. They are creatures that have lived longer than elves and are more excellent in magic than any other living thing. They are dragons.”
“I’ve heard about them in fairy tales… Do dragons talk?”
“Yes. Dragons can freely speak human languages. Because they have powerful strength, dragons, who are a free-spirited race, can be a great threat to both demons and humans. According to one theory, dragons are a mistake of Solishin and Bane.”
“A mistake of Solishin and Bane?”
“Yes. Solishin created dragons before she created the hero. But Bane saw dragons as a threat and intervened. The dragon, which was a combination of Solishin and Bane’s power, had a strong power that was different from what the two gods expected, but it became an existence that was beyond the control of the two gods.”
“Where did Elsie hear that story?”
“Well… there’s also a library in the temple… When I was young, I often went to the library and read many books about myths and legends.”
“I see…”
I didn’t get any information about my skill, but I did get to hear about dragons.
“Oh, the healing has stopped, heal!”
“Hey, Elsie. Were dragons that dangerous?”
“Yes. In the old days, they were said to have destroyed entire countries. The most recent one that appeared was… about 200 years ago, the Poison Dragon Kali.
Due to Kali’s rampage, which suddenly appeared at the border between the demon territory of Abyss and the territory of Escal, a mountain was covered in poison.
At that time, there was no demon king or hero… so demons and humans joined forces to drive away the Poison Dragon.”
“They didn’t defeat it?”
“No. But since then, the relationship between demons and humans has improved.”
It seems that it is difficult to defeat a strong being like a dragon unless it is a legendary being.
After that, I listened to Elsie’s stories until she used up all her healing.
She told me not only about dragons but also about the legends of the knight nation of Bridan.
While listening to Elsie, who was now smiling brightly and talking about legends after finishing all the healing with sparkling eyes, the door opened.
“Elsie~ It’s about time to wake up Noah and go eat… Oh my, Rent, you were here?”
The one who opened the door was Ninya, wearing plain casual clothes.
“Yes. I was helping Elsie with her training and listening to her stories.”
“Training?”
“Yes. To improve her healing and increase her magic power.”
“Ah, that training. Come to think of it, there was that training. Sorry, Elsie. I’m mainly focused on combat, so I forgot about that training.”
“No, it’s okay. I used all my healing on Rent today.”
Come to think of it, Ninya came to Elsie’s room to eat together.
Looking out the window, I saw that the sunset was already setting.
I got up from my seat and said to Elsie,
“Elsie. Go down with Ninya first and order food. I’ll wake up Noah.”
“Okay, Rent. Let’s go, Ninya.”
“Okay, Elsie.”
Elsie and Ninya left the room and went down the stairs.
I also left Elsie’s room and entered Noah’s room next door.
“Mmm… Ummm…”
Noah was sleeping with her belly exposed, still wearing her casual clothes.
She was sleeping very comfortably.
I went to Noah, gently pulled down her clothes to cover her belly, and then gently shook Noah’s shoulder.
“Noah, wake up.”
“Mmm… Ummm…? Ren…t?”
“Let’s go eat.”
“Huh…? Has it already gotten that late?”
Noah got up, rubbed her eyes, and then stretched.
“Haa… I guess I was unknowingly accumulating fatigue. I didn’t do this when I fought the kobolds.”
“It’s only been a day since we came down to the 4th floor. You’ll get used to it.”
“Hehe, I guess so? Ah, I’m hungry after waking up. Let’s go eat quickly!”
“Yeah.”
Noah and I went down to the first floor together.
On the first floor, Elsie and Ninya had taken a seat and were waiting for us.
We sat down and waited for a while, and then Tina brought us food.
While eating, we talked about what happened today.
First, Noah and Ninya, like student and teacher, talked about the improvements and points of focus for Noah’s movements today, and then Elsie told us about the Poison Dragon.
Noah and Ninya also knew about the Poison Dragon.
They added that the ones who contributed the most to driving away the Poison Dragon were none other than the adventurers of Pludan.
When the hostility towards the demons was not yet so severe, the adventurers of Pludan received a request from the country and joined forces with the demons to drive away the Poison Dragon.
Since then, Pludan has been interacting with the demons.
“By the way, it’s said that succubi were able to live in Pludan a lot since then. Other demons hide their identities and become adventurers, or they receive requests from the adventurer’s guild in Abyss through Pludan and receive rewards, and there are various other connections.
They exchange materials that cannot be obtained in Abyss with materials that cannot be obtained here.”
It seems that as long as the demon king does not appear, the demons have the same thoughts as ordinary people.
So, if the demon king appears, do the demons harm people as if they are brainwashed?
If the demon king is resurrected, perhaps such a tragedy might occur.
A peaceful village where demons and humans coexist.
In that village, a demon boy and a human girl lived happily together.
But due to the resurrection of the demon king, the boy is tormented by the impulses engraved in his blood.
When he tries to resist, the urge to kill turns into intense lust!
It’s the same for other demons!
The boy, who always lusts after his closest neighbor and childhood friend, throws himself at her like a beast!
The girl’s screams are covered by lust, and the peaceful village is instantly transformed into a scene of orgy between demons and humans!
It’s a cheap AV-like setting, but I think even cheap things have their own advantages.
Enjoying the situation without complicated explanations is also necessary for masturbating.
◈
After finishing the meal, we went to our respective rooms.
After eating a delicious meal, I was diving back into bed, enjoying the comfort of the bed.
In the end, I couldn’t get any hints about my skill.
But right now, I’ve eaten well and I feel comfortable.
Come to think of it, don’t I need to worry too much?
Solishin is a goddess who governs life and creation.
What’s wrong with having imaginations about the act of creating life for such a goddess!
Rather, let’s think like this.
Since I was reincarnated from another world, maybe she gave me this skill because I was curious?
Thinking like that, I’m actually looking forward to meeting Solishin.
…But I’ve decided not to have any lewd imaginations about Solishin today.
