Chapter 17 – Episode 17 – Party (3)
“Huh? Really!?”
Noah’s eyes widened, and her tail wagged rapidly.
“Are you really going to party with us, Rent?”
“Yeah. Will you have me?”
“Of course, I’d love to! It would be so reassuring to have Rent in our party! I’m so happy! Elsie thinks so too, right?”
“……”
Elsie lowered her head and remained silent at Noah’s question.
Why is she like that?
Could it be that Elsie doesn’t want me in the party?
“Huh? What’s wrong, Elsie?”
Noah seemed puzzled by Elsie’s silence as well.
“Rent, are you really okay with this?”
“Huh? What do you mean, Elsie?”
I didn’t quite understand what Elsie was saying.
What is she saying is okay?
There’s nothing that wouldn’t be okay with me joining a party with Elsie and Noah.
It would be fun to go on adventures together, and more than anything, I’d be happy with all the lewd fantasy material I’d get.
Noah drooped her tail and ears and asked Elsie.
“Elsie, do you perhaps not want to be in a party with Rent?”
Elsie shook her head.
“No, it’s not that. I’d be happy to be in a party with Rent too. But… is Rent really okay with this?”
Elsie raised her head and looked at me as she spoke.
“Rent is very strong. You’ll definitely become a great adventurer. If it’s Rent, you could continue through the dungeon alone. Then you’ll surely find companions who will be helpful to you. But… if you party with us, your progress will definitely slow down. Me and Noah, who are weaker than Rent… we’ll be holding you back. Especially… since I can only use weak healing magic, even more so…”
Elsie lowered her head and clutched her chest.
Elsie’s hand was trembling.
“So… instead of partying with us, Rent should…”
Elsie’s voice changed as if she was about to cry.
Elsie was saying this for my sake.
And she was so sad to say it that she was on the verge of tears.
I was happy that Elsie was thinking of me so much that she was sad to refuse to party with me.
“Elsie, I want to party with you and Noah.”
Elsie raised her head and looked at me.
There were tears welling up in her eyes.
I was happy that Elsie was crying.
I was happy that she was thinking of me so much.
“B-but…”
“Elsie, you know, I came to this city because I vaguely wanted to be an adventurer. As you know, I’m strong, right? So I thought that even if I became an adventurer, I’d be safer than others.”
I actually wondered how many creatures could actually hurt me.
“Besides, I’ve never left my village before, so I wanted to experience various things.”
Like brothels.
Like meeting fantastic women.
Of course, adventure is included too.
And last night, I had a miraculous experience.
I met a fox angel.
“And adventurers can make a lot of money if they’re good, right? I wanted to make a lot of money and live well, and I also wanted to send money to my parents back home so they could live comfortably.”
The biggest reason I wanted to make money was to secure funds to go to brothels.
But now, that’s not the only reason.
“Then it’s even better for Rent to do it alone…”
“But you know, after meeting Elsie and Noah, my thoughts have changed a bit. Money is good, but… I want to party with you two and go on adventures together.”
“Why…”
I spoke to Elsie with sincerity.
Of course, I also like that the details of my lewd fantasies are getting better.
There’s also the reason that I want to be with two beautiful girls like Elsie and Noah.
There’s also the reason that it’s easy to act since we’re in the same inn.
But the biggest reason is.
“Because it’s fun being with Elsie and Noah.”
Let me tell you what I felt when I was with Elsie and Noah.
“It was fun walking to the dungeon entrance together yesterday. It was fun being guided around the city today. It was fun being explained things while walking around the city, and it was fun sitting on the park bench and talking. I’m sorry to Elsie, but… it was also a little fun watching Elsie get angry at Noah for teasing her. And it was fun running while carrying Elsie and Noah today.”
“Rent…”
“But what was most fun was…”
I recalled the first time we saw the view from the second floor together.
Reminding myself of that feeling, I said to Elsie.
“It was when I saw the view from the second floor with Elsie and Noah. My heart really pounded when I saw that view for the first time. I really felt like I was on an adventure. How was it for you then, Elsie?”
“I, I also… my heart was pounding. It was completely different from what I had only heard about. I… I thought I was on an adventure.”
As Elsie spoke, Noah followed, stretching her arms up and sharing her feelings at that time.
“Me too! My heart was thumping! I thought, ‘This is what it’s like to become an adventurer!’”
“Right? I was really excited and looking forward to it. I wondered what kind of adventures we could have in the future, what we could see. But you know, at the same time, I also had this thought. I… I wanted to see more diverse places with Elsie and Noah.”
“Rent…”
“I want to go on adventures. I want to experience more diverse things, and I want to make a lot of money. But the most important thing is that I want to go on adventures with Elsie and Noah. I want to go on adventures together, see various things, feel them, and enjoy them. Because, I… my heart pounded when I saw the view from the second floor, but seeing Elsie and Noah enjoying it made my heart pound even more. It was more fun. I was really happy to feel that Elsie and Noah were just as moved and enjoying it as I was.”
Let’s be a little more courageous.
I reached out and took Elsie and Noah’s hands.
“So Elsie, Noah… will you party with me? I… I want to go on adventures together as a trio.”
Tears were welling up in Noah’s eyes too.
“I’ve been welcoming it from the start!”
“R-Rent…”
“Yes, Elsie.”
Elsie was crying, but she was smiling.
“I-I might hold you back… but I… I want to party with Rent too.”
“Then you just have to get stronger. Since we’re companions, I’ll help Elsie get stronger.”
“Me too! I’ll get much stronger so I don’t hold Rent back!”
“Yeah. I’ll help Noah get stronger too. Then does that mean we’re a party now?”
“Of course! Right, Elsie?”
Elsie nodded.
“Yes… Rent, I’m still lacking, but please take care of me from now on.”
“Please take care of me, Rent!”
“Yeah, Elsie, Noah. Please take care of me too.”
I had officially formed a party with Elsie and Noah.
◈
After forming our party amicably and finishing our meal, we walked towards a less crowded area, just like on the first floor.
“I-I’m embarrassed…”
Elsie was walking with her face covered with both hands.
“Why are you embarrassed, Elsie? Elsie’s caring heart for Rent! I was so moved! I lacked such a caring heart like Elsie! I’ll reflect on myself! Sorry, Rent!”
Thump, thump.
“It’s okay, Noah.”
Noah gestured wildly, acting sad, and patted my back.
“N-Noah!”
“Hehehe.”
I feel at ease with Elsie and Noah’s usual selves.
While emotionally moving moments that bring tears are good, I prefer the everyday moments that make me feel at ease.
Of course, the best moments are when a pink-colored harem is formed.
I felt that my relationship with Elsie and Noah had gotten better, so I felt a little guilty and sinful when I had lewd fantasies about Elsie and Noah.
And that made me even more excited.
Yay!
It’s the instinct of a sad masturbator.
“Elsie, you don’t have to be embarrassed. I was really happy that you were thinking of me like that. Thanks to that, I wanted to be in the same party with Elsie and Noah even more.”
“Ooh! So Elsie is the number one contributor to us forming a party!”
“Ugh…”
“Hey, hey, Rent~ What about me?”
“What about you?”
“Well, you know? Like Elsie, I also want to hear that you wanted to party with me because of this or that!”
“It’s always fun when I’m talking with Noah, so I wanted to party with you. It’s fun now too.”
It’s also fun to watch her tease Elsie with a sly smile.
I like making lewd jokes, and I like playing slightly lewd pranks.
I wonder if Noah will play more active lewd pranks on me when we get closer.
I’m very much looking forward to it.
“Ooh! …H-hearing it directly makes me a little embarrassed, hehe.”
Noah scratched her cheek with an awkward smile.
Noah’s ears were half-folded, and her tail was curled up.
Cute.
“U-um… Noah.”
“Yeah? What’s wrong, Elsie?”
“There’s something I was worried about… When we were leaving the barrier, the other adventurers seemed to be looking at me with warm gazes. W-why is that?”
“Ah… that’s…”
I had an idea why.
Noah shrugged and said.
“Could it be that they heard our conversation? Even though there’s some distance, this is a meadow… and the barrier doesn’t have soundproofing.”
It seems our emotional party formation scene was heard by all the other adventurers.
“A-ah…”
Elsie was trembling all over.
Her face was completely red like a tomato.
Elsie covered her face with both hands again and squatted down on the spot.
“Aaaaaah…!”
I could see Elsie’s ears turning bright red.
Cute.
“Cute.”
Oops, what I was thinking came out of my mouth.
“Right?”
Noah winked at me.
As expected, she was teasing Elsie on purpose because she was cute when she was embarrassed.
I also think that mischievous cat-like little devil Noah is cute.
◈
We hunted slimes on the second floor of the dungeon until my backpack was full of slime corpses.
The slimes looked like large water droplets, which I had seen a lot in my previous life.
They didn’t have any tentacle forms.
That’s a shame.
Noah showed me how to defeat slimes by stabbing the core and magic stone with her dagger.
I was told by Noah that slimes don’t respond well to blunt attacks.
Noah advised me that it would be better to stab them with a dagger than to punch them.
But it was easy to defeat them by grabbing the slime, immobilizing it, and then using my strength to stick my hand inside the slime, popping the core with my fingers, and pulling out the magic stone.
Noah clapped and praised me, saying I was amazing.
Elsie quietly said, “Amazing,” and admired me.
I felt good being praised by two beautiful girls.
If I could wish for anything, I’d want to hear that praise after they saw my ejaculation volume and strength, or the size of my erection.
I’m absolutely confident I’d get praised!
We went outside and exchanged the magic stones, except for the five goblin magic stones each, at the exchange.
Then we went to the alchemist’s shop and sold the slime corpses.
And then we went to the adventurer’s guild, completed the request, and applied for a party.
Reni-san smiled and congratulated us on forming a party.
It was still a business smile, which was a shame.
It was also evening, so I was planning to have dinner with the three of us at the Fox’s Rest.
However, when we left the adventurer’s guild, Noah said she had something to do and told me and Elsie to have dinner first, and then she ran off somewhere else.
I had no choice but to have dinner with Elsie alone.
It was a bit of a shame that Noah wasn’t there for dinner on the day we formed our party.
I also told Tina, who was carrying the food, about our party formation.
Tina smiled and congratulated us as if it was her own business.
Tina, who was wagging her tail and being happy, was cute.
I decided to release the sexual desire that had swelled up with the disappointment of not being able to have dinner with Noah tonight and with lewd fantasies with Tina’s massage.
After finishing our meal, Elsie and I went to our respective rooms on the second floor.
I put down my backpack, took off my shoes, and lay down on the bed.
Alone in my room, I looked at the ceiling and recalled the time I ran with Elsie and Noah today, the time I saw the view from the second floor, and the time we formed a party.
Without realizing it, the corners of my mouth turned up in happiness.
And then, five minutes later.
I wanted to masturbate.
I was happy thinking about the pleasant things that happened today, but I can’t keep repeating that over and over again.
Adventurers aren’t always adventuring.
After their adventures, they always have their usual daily lives waiting for them.
And my daily life is having lewd fantasies.
A room where I’m alone. What happens when I have lewd fantasies?
That’s right, I want to masturbate.
But it’s a waste to do it now.
I can get Tina’s massage in about an hour.
I want Tina to squeeze out the accumulated and matured semen.
I can’t fill the trash can with cum-soaked tissues already…
“Huh?”
The tissues that were in the trash can were gone.
Did they clean up after we left?
Was it Tina?
If so, that means Tina saw the pile of tissues that had accumulated more than when she left.
It’s a little awkward.
Or was it Miranda-san?
If so, she’d think I was having a masturbation marathon from the first day I stayed at the inn.
I did masturbate more than six times, so if it’s a marathon, it’s a marathon, but it’s still awkward.
What should I do?
But there’s nothing I can do even if I think about it deeply.
Let’s think positively.
If Tina saw it, let’s think that she’ll be even more motivated to give me a massage that’s as good as my masturbation.
If Miranda-san saw it, let’s think that she’ll laugh it off with a “hohoho” at my youthful vigor.
And let’s hope that she’ll want to check my vigor for herself.
More than that, let’s think about what kind of massage I should ask Tina for today.
Should I ask for a chest massage?
Should I ask for a leg massage?
Or should I ask for both?
My anticipation doesn’t stop.
I wanted to masturbate, but time passed quickly as I had all sorts of lewd fantasies with Tina’s massage.
Knock knock.
I heard a knock on the door.
It must be Tina at this time.
The time I had been waiting for had come.
I got up and said to Tina, who was beyond the door.
“Come in.”
Creak.
The door opened.
“Hi, Rent.”
Contrary to my expectations, it wasn’t Tina who came into the room, but Noah.
“Huh? Noah. What’s wrong?”
Why did Noah come to my room at this time?
Noah grinned and said.
“Hehe~ Did you perhaps think it was Tina?”
Ouch!
Why is Noah saying that?
No, Noah knows about the massage.
It’s not strange for her to say something like this.
“U-um, yeah. Tina said she’d come to give me a massage at this time.”
“I see~ But, Rent.”
Creak.
Noah stretched her foot back and closed the door.
“Too bad for Rent, but Tina won’t be coming today.”
“Huh?”
What on earth is she talking about?
“Because~.”
Noah walked towards me with light steps.
She leaned slightly next to the bed and winked at me.
“Tonight~ I’m going to monopolize Rent~, hehehe.”
Noah had a mischievous and sly smile on her face.
I had no idea what was going on.
