Chapter 539 – 539 Unexpected Encounter
◈
After that, the real Lelia decided to do the photoshoot.
Of course, the outfit was a micro bikini.
Lelia’s turn was last, so right now, it wasn’t the Holy Knight subordinates who came with Lelia, but other people from Solario who were taking pictures.
This concept was to unify the outfits into micro bikinis.
“Good~ Good! That pose is great! How about emphasizing the chest a bit more~.”
“Like this?”
“Good! That’s it!”
The photographer was grinning as he took pictures.
“Hehehehehe.”
Father Chamber was leering, looking not only at the woman taking pictures but also at the women in micro bikinis around him.
Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them; the staff helping with the shoot were the same.
But perhaps because they were from Solario, the actresses didn’t react at all to the surrounding men’s reactions.
“Soon… it’s my turn.”
Next to me was Lelia, who had changed into a micro bikini and was waiting.
She was hugging her arms, trying to hide as much skin as possible, but rather, it was covering the white fabric of the bikini, making it look like she was covering herself while naked, which made her sexiness even more intense.
Moreover, Lelia’s chest was quite large, as big as Ninya’s, so when she hugged herself like that, her volume was even more emphasized.
“H-Hang in there, Lelia.”
“Thank you, Rent…”
“Next… well, come on, Lelia! You’re the one who will decorate the end of this issue!”
“Haaaaaaah…”
After letting out a deep sigh, Lelia stepped forward.
“So, what kind of pose should I take?”
“Well, first…”
The photographer first instructed her to do the poses that the other actresses had done.
Since those poses had also been featured in previous Miss Solario issues, Lelia took the poses with an almost resigned expression.
“You can’t make that face~ Smile, smile!”
“……”
Lelia tried her best to smile.
However, that smile gradually turned into a serious expression as the shoot went on.
That was because the poses they were asking for were somehow changing to be very explicit.
“Hmm… is this still not working?”
The photographer was resting his chin on his hand, thinking about something.
“Hey, isn’t it okay to stop shooting now?”
“No! We haven’t taken that picture yet!”
That picture?
“The issue you were featured in sold especially well! Do you know why? It’s because it contained shame and embarrassment! And anger! But right now, you’re just serious, and it’s not sexy at all! Try to be more embarrassed like last time!”
Ah~ that’s important.
Crack.
“This old geezer, really… Ugh!?”
Lelia was about to approach the photographer when she saw me.
“……”
Then, she suddenly blushed and slightly turned her gaze away.
“Ooh! That’s it, that expression! Good! Let’s continue the shoot!”
◈-Lelia’s SIDE
I was about to give the photographer, who was teasing and annoying me, a good smack on the head.
But during the shoot, I wanted to finish quickly, so I was trying to clear my head, and then Rent, who hadn’t been in my sight, came into view.
Ah, come to think of it, I did those poses in front of Rent too…
Hwaaaah!
My face instantly flushed.
And at the same time, the words Rent had said to encourage me flashed through my mind.
-If no one takes Lelia, I’ll take her.
Rent, smiling brightly, had said those words of comfort to me.
But realistically, it’s impossible.
He already has eight lovers…
Even if it’s Rent, there’s no way he’d take me…
No, no, in the first place, that was just a way to cheer me up.
Why am I seriously thinking about the possibility?
Like last time, think about your position properly.
“Okay, let’s go with that expression!”
This damn photographer…
He’s really getting on my nerves when I’m already feeling troubled.
But it’s an order from High Priestess Maren, so I have to take the pictures.
I took the poses again, doing as the photographer instructed, but…
Knowing that Rent was watching, it felt awkward, unlike when I was doing it with a clear mind.
And it was embarrassing because Rent was really watching me.
The shame didn’t go away when I thought about showing a male acquaintance the sight of me taking sexy pictures.
“Good! Good! That pose is great! The expression is great too! That’s it!”
This photographer, I don’t know what’s so good about it, he’s giving a thumbs up and snapping pictures.
Is this really okay?
“Okay! Next, let’s go with that last one, that one!”
“That one?”
“Bring that one!”
At the photographer’s words, a staff member, sweating, asked the photographer.
“Um… Photographer, is it really okay?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay, it was okay last time too! Hurry up and bring it, hurry, hurry!”
“……Yes.”
The staff member left the set for a moment and came back with a sign covered in cloth.
“P-Please hold this.”
“This?”
Since they told me to hold it, I did.
It didn’t feel heavy, so it seemed like a normal wooden sign.
Are they going to take pictures with me holding this?
Is that it?
Is it something like, ‘Please take care of Miss Solario’ since it’s the last one?
Well… I don’t like putting ads on my pictures, but if it’s just this much…
“Okay, now hold the sign and let’s remove the cloth! Ah, don’t forget to smile!”
Swish.
I removed the cloth and smiled at the camera.
At that moment.
“Gasp!”
“Ah.”
“Huuup!”
The other staff members, my subordinates, the wizard who was Father Tikia, and… Rent, all widened their eyes in surprise.
Huh?
What is it, what’s written on the sign that’s making everyone react like this…
“……”
The sign that was revealed when the cloth fell had this written on it:
32-year-old Cute Holy Knight Lelia~ Looking for a Boyfriend♡
Oh, I see.
That’s what it is.
You want to make me angry?
Come to think of it, there was a picture of me aiming a bow in the last issue, so is that what they want?
Hahahahaha…
I’ll kill them.
◈-Rent’s SIDE
I couldn’t help but be shocked when I saw the words on the sign.
To make Lelia, who had suffered because she didn’t have good relationships, hold such a cruel sign.
Moreover, it seemed like this was the photographer’s doing, as everyone except the staff member who brought the sign and the photographer were surprised.
And Lelia, who was wondering about the reactions of the people looking at her with such expressions, looked at the sign.
Her body stiffened, and at the same time, the expression on her face completely disappeared.
That was when her anger level exceeded a certain point, and her expression vanished.
Slowly, Lelia turned her head forward.
Whoosh!
She threw the sign at the wall with one hand.
Kwaaaang!
The thrown sign hit the wall, making a loud noise, and shattered into pieces.
And Lelia’s expression turned into a terrifying Yama-like expression as she looked at the photographer.
“I’ll kill you.”
Those words were filled with sincerity.
“Good! That’s the expression!”
Click, click, click!
The photographer, not understanding the situation, was just busy taking pictures.
“……I guess I have to give it my all.”
Father Chamber, who was next to me, still recognized the seriousness of the situation.
Lelia was slowly approaching the photographer.
“Uwaah! C-Commander!”
“Please calm down!”
Lelia’s subordinates, who were still wearing micro bikinis, hurriedly grabbed Lelia’s arms, trying to stop her.
“Uwaah!”
“A-Ah, she won’t stop…”
Lelia didn’t care and kept moving forward.
No matter how hard the two of them pulled her arms and tried to stop her, Lelia slowly advanced like a giant bulldozer.
“Girls, get out of the way!”
At Father Chamber’s words, the two of them moved away from Lelia, and Father Chamber immediately squeezed out his magic power and activated a spell.
“Chain Bind!”
Charrrrrrrr!
A huge chain formed of magic power wrapped around Lelia’s body.
But.
“Huuup!”
Kaaaaaang!
When Lelia released her magic power and exerted her strength, the magic chain immediately broke.
“T-That’s the strength that even a Cyclops wouldn’t easily break…”
In terms of strength, Lelia was the second strongest person I had ever sparred with.
It wasn’t strange that she could do this much.
But if I really left her alone like this, it seemed like Lelia would kill the photographer, so I stepped forward and blocked Lelia’s path.
“Lelia.”
“Please move aside, Rent. I have to kill that bastard.”
She was directly saying that she would kill him.
“Please calm down. Of course, I know you’re incredibly angry. But please calm down.”
“I’m sorry. I know that I should calm down. But… but…”
Lelia said, trembling.
“I, who have suffered because I haven’t had any luck with men, am saying that I will kill that man. That guy… he made a fool of me!”
Whoosh!
In an instant, Lelia moved at lightning speed and passed me.
Of course, I had already grasped her movements, so I immediately turned around and put my arms between Lelia’s armpits, stopping her.
“Uwaaaaaaa! Let gooooooo!!! I’m going to kill himmmmmmm!!!”
As soon as I stopped her, Lelia moved her whole body violently, trying to break free from my grasp.
“Yes! That’s the expression! That dynamic anger! There are definitely customers who will be turned on by that expression! Not me though! The immense anger that appears after shame! Ah, this is the explosion of art!”
Click, click, click, click!
Photographer, please just stay still.
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Lelia’s roar echoed throughout the set.
◈
Lelia’s state of anger continued for 10 minutes.
During that time, the photographer, who kept trying to take pictures of Lelia, was dragged away by the staff, and Lelia was in an even more agitated state, saying, “Where are you going! Come here!” to the photographer.
The strength she was exerting was also getting stronger, and honestly, I thought that no one but me could have stopped her.
And then.
“Haa… haa…”
Lelia, exhausted from her rampage, was panting and became docile.
“……Rent, you can let go now.”
“A-Are you okay?”
“I’m… okay.”
I believed Lelia’s words and released her.
Fortunately, Lelia didn’t run towards the photographer as soon as I released her.
Lelia turned to me and bowed her head.
“I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again.”
“No, it’s okay.”
If you think about the reason, it’s because of the butterfly effect of me summoning Solly while she was wearing a micro bikini.
I was the one who should be feeling sorry for Lelia.
“T-Thank you, Rent!”
“Commander, o-on behalf of us, we’ll treat you to something delicious today!”
Lelia’s subordinates also approached me, thanking me and comforting Lelia.
“Okay, thank you. I guess I have to eat something delicious… If I don’t have luck with men… I should at least have luck with food.”
“Ah, this is when you’re really down.”
“She’s gone into a state of self-abandonment…”
Lelia’s subordinates were troubled, looking at Lelia, who had dropped her head.
They had given me the grace of showing me very sexy poses during the photoshoot, which pleased my eyes and lower body.
And that was the same for Lelia, and personally, I wanted Lelia to regain her energy.
The way for Lelia to regain her energy.
A way to get rid of her current resentment all at once.
After thinking carefully, only one thing came to mind.
“Lelia.”
“Yes… Rent.”
“Please wait for a moment.”
“Yes?”
I asked for Lelia’s understanding and approached Father Chamber.
“Father, I was able to have a wonderful experience. Thank you.”
“What, I should be thanking you for stopping that Holy Knight instead of me.”
“I’m sorry, but I think you’ll have to go back alone.”
When I glanced at Lelia, Father Chamber nodded as if he understood.
“Okay, I understand. It’s still unsettling to leave that Holy Knight alone. She might accidentally meet the photographer again and go on a rampage.”
Father Chamber lightly waved his hand at me.
“Then I’ll go play at the Wolf Fang Race and come back.”
“Yes, goodbye.”
As Father Chamber left, I approached Lelia again.
“Lelia.”
I gave Lelia a thumbs up and said.
“Let’s go for a drink! It’s on me!”
