Chapter 605 – Happy Meeting!
Lant stared at me silently.
He must be dumbfounded.
I suddenly burst out like this, and he even bought me drinks and snacks, yet here I am, acting like a spoiled child.
It’s only natural for him to be disappointed in me.
But Lant…
“……Okay!”
He put the drinks and snacks back into his inventory and said with a dazzling smile like the sun.
“Let’s have a go!”
Lant accepted my childish behavior without showing any signs of disappointment.
Ah, Lant… Thank you.
And I’m truly sorry.
I’m going to be a bother.
Lant and I faced each other and took our stances.
My opponent is Lant.
Tricks won’t work on him.
This isn’t a sparring match anyway.
It’s just Lant indulging my tantrum.
So, there’s no need for fancy techniques or complex exchanges.
Such things wouldn’t work on Lant in the first place.
All that’s needed is a fiery action to release this gloomy feeling.
“Haaaaaaah!”
I use my magic power to the maximum to strengthen my body and infuse my sword with magic.
“Here I come!”
Kwaaaang!
I kick off the ground and swing my sword at Lant.
A strike with all my heart.
It’s not arrogance, but there are very few who could withstand this strike of mine.
At least, Lant’s lovers, Lyfa, Gracia, Ninya, and Noah, would be cut down before they could even properly recognize my attack.
I swung such an attack at Lant.
Clang!
But my sword strike was blocked by the magic sword that Lant created.
Or should I even call it a magic sword?
Usually, swords made with mana weapons only have their unique magic color.
But the sword Lant is holding now looks almost like a real sword.
If you don’t feel the immense magic contained within that sword up close, you would mistake it for a real sword.
Lant said while blocking my sword.
“Come at me as much as you want. I’ll accept everything from Lelia.”
How wonderful it would be if these words were said in a romantic situation, not this one.
I couldn’t help but think such a foolish thought.
◈-Lant’s SIDE
Kwaaaang!!!
It’s been 20 minutes since the sparring match started to help Lelia feel better.
I’ve been only blocking Lelia’s attacks.
Since the point is for Lelia to attack with all her might and shake off her gloomy mood, there was no need for me to attack.
Lelia just kept repeating attacks, putting all her strength into her magic.
A mindless swing without any technique.
But because the one swinging is Lelia, the power was enormous.
Even though I blocked the attacks securely, the surroundings were devastated by the aftereffects, with trees uprooted and flying away, and the surrounding pebbles all scattered, revealing the bare earth.
Since it was like this from the first strike, I immediately created a barrier around Lelia and me to prevent the aftereffects from further destroying the environment.
Lelia thanked me for the barrier and swung her sword again.
The momentum of her sword became even fiercer, and the power also increased.
Lelia’s attacks were not as powerful as the Demon King’s punches, but they were still incredibly powerful.
If we were to simply compare the power of the attacks, it was stronger than the attack of the Yaseo King without using Full Acceleration.
While attacking, Lelia didn’t speak to me.
“Uwaaaaaaaah!”
She just screamed loudly and attacked.
She continued this action for a full 20 minutes.
“Haa… haa…”
It seems that after attacking with such power for 20 minutes, Lelia was breathing heavily.
“This is… the last one.”
Lelia put away her sword and took out the bow she had used when sparring with Lyfa and Gracia from her inventory.
And just like before, Lelia pulled the bowstring without taking out an arrow.
Woo woo woo!
Magic power gathered rapidly in Lelia’s hand, creating an arrow.
If it were like the last time, she would have released the bowstring right away.
But Lelia didn’t release the bowstring and continued to infuse the arrow with magic.
The magic power kept gathering.
In the stillness where not even the wind blew, the arrow made of Lelia’s magic increased its magic power compared to the vast amount of magic gathering.
It was clear that the power increased as more magic was infused into the arrow.
It was an intuition, but the power of the arrow formed now was comparable to the attack of the Yaseo King who attacked me with Full Acceleration.
In other words, it was powerful enough to crack my mana weapon.
Lelia quietly aimed the arrow at me and stared before moving her lips.
“Mar…”
“Mar?”
“I want to get marrieddddddddddddddd!!!!”
A heart-wrenching cry of the soul echoed.
“Ugh…”
Even before receiving the arrow, that cry hurt my heart.
And the next moment, the arrow was shot.
An arrow several times faster than Gracia’s Wind Boost was approaching me.
I could definitely block it with my mana weapon, even if it only cracked.
But this attack contained Lelia’s resentment.
As someone who is going to see Lelia on a blind date.
As someone who wants to be Lelia’s darling.
I thought I had to take this attack directly with my body.
So, I got rid of my mana weapon.
Paaaaaaang!!!!
I caught the arrow that was about to reach my chest with both hands, clapping them together.
The moment I caught it, the vast magic contained within the arrow exploded, trying to spread around.
Before the arrow completely exploded, I spread a small magic barrier around the hand that caught the arrow.
A dazzling flash of explosion occurred inside the barrier.
And after a while, the arrow made of magic disappeared without a trace, and all that was left was my hand inside the barrier, without a single scratch.
“……As expected, Lant is amazing. That was truly an attack with all my power. And you blocked it so… easily.”
Lelia had a resigned yet refreshed expression.
Looking at Lelia, I took out the drinks and snacks from my inventory again and said.
“Shall we drink?”
“Haha, yes. Let’s do that. It’s been a while… I really want to drink.”
◈
After gathering the pebbles with my telekinesis and spreading a mat near the stream where only the soil remained, Lelia and I drank together.
Lelia took a sip of her drink with a desolate atmosphere at first.
“Haha, it’s a bit bitter, maybe because it’s been a while since I drank.”
Looking at Lelia, I thought it would take a long time for her to truly let go of her emotions.
But.
“Lanttttttttttttttttt! Waaaaaaaah!!!”
By the fifth glass, Lelia immediately changed back to the way I usually saw her.
Now, with tears streaming down her face.
“Glug glug glug! Crunch crunch.”
She snatched the bottle from my hand and drank straight from it, grabbing a handful of snacks and stuffing them into her mouth.
“The drinks and snacks are so delicioussssssssss!!! Waaaaaaaah!”
“That’s good. There’s more, so eat a lot.”
I was glad I bought about 30 bottles because one bottle wouldn’t be enough.
“Hic! Sniff! Thank youuuuuuuu! Waaaaaaaah! Glug glug! Lanttttttttt! Please listen to meeeeeeeee!”
“Yes, I’ll listen as much as you want. Tell me.”
“That’s… that’s, you seeeeeeee! Waaaaaaaah!!”
Lelia started talking while crying continuously.
She talked about how she had been quite conscious of me since that stripping game.
How her side was aching so much after seeing me and my lovers being lovey-dovey for three days.
How she realized there was no hope with me because I didn’t touch her or show any reaction for three days.
How her heart ached when she thought I had sex with Priestess Maren after going back to being single.
And how she couldn’t even drink properly for the past two weeks because of her gloomy mood…
And when Priestess Maren tried to bring up the blind date that was bound to fail again, her emotions exploded uncontrollably.
In other words, Lelia was talking about the circumstances that led to this while drinking, chewing on snacks, and crying.
I didn’t know that those three days would cause such a big wound for Lelia.
I thought Lelia was enjoying the sightseeing.
And I didn’t know she still had the misunderstanding that I had sex with Priestess Maren.
Perhaps that was the biggest trigger for Lelia’s explosion.
Lelia, who thought Priestess Maren, her fellow single ally, had done it with me.
It must have felt like the man she was interested in was taken by her close friend.
“I trusted youuuuuuuuu! I trusted Maren Unnieeeeeee!! Waaaaaaaah! I can’t trust anyone anymore! I hate everyone! Waaaaaaaah!”
And Lelia was venting that feeling while drunk.
Let’s clear up this misunderstanding first.
“Lelia, it’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t have sex with Priestess Maren.”
“Hmph! I don’t believe you! I don’t believe such lies at all! Sniff! Hic! I don’t… I don’t… I want to believe youuuuuuuu! Waaaaaaaah!!!”
“I really didn’t have sex. Please believe me.”
“Then what did you do! What did you do during that time! There’s no way you’d be there for so long just talking! It’s a lie after all, Waaaaaaaah!!!”
Lelia wouldn’t believe me if I just said I didn’t do it.
So, let’s tell her the truth.
“Well… first, I received a fellatio, and then I made Priestess Maren go with my hand for more than 30 minutes with caresses.”
“Waaah… uuuuh? Hic! Fe, fellatio? Ca, caresses…?”
Lelia, who had only been crying, looked at me.
“Yes, what happened was…”
I explained in detail to Lelia what had happened then.
From the misunderstanding that made Priestess Maren take off her clothes, to the fact that she had male desires, so I observed her penis and received a fellatio.
And how I used my caress techniques to make Priestess Maren go again and again.
“Ah, ahh, th, th, th, that kind of thing… in, in the Great Temple…”
Hwaaaak
Lelia’s face turned as red as a tomato with embarrassment, separate from the alcohol.
Cute.
“Yes. So, I didn’t have sex. Priestess Maren is still a virgin.”
“I see… Maren Unnie is still the same as me…”
Then, Lelia stopped talking abruptly.
“No, it’s not good! She ended up going ahead of me! I only did it with my hand! Maren Unnie even sucked it! And Lant made her go crazy! Hiiiiiiing… You’re a liar after all! Lant, you’re an idiot! What do you mean you didn’t have sex! You did lewd things even if you didn’t have sex! Waaaaaaaah!”
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Lelia hit my chest with quite a bit of force.
In terms of power, it was enough to easily cave in an orc’s skull.
Of course, since I’m not affected by such attacks, Lelia must be doing it with this intensity.
Naturally, I didn’t feel any pain at all.
Rather, Lelia’s words were stabbing my heart.
“I don’t know! I don’t know anything! I hate everything! I won’t go on blind dates anymore! Never again! Waaaaaaaah!”
“I hope Lelia will definitely go on this blind date…”
“Sniff! Wh, what do you mean by that! You hate a bothersome woman like me… a woman who’s only getting older! Waaaaaaaah! You don’t want to keep your word about accepting me if you have no other choice… so you’re telling me to go on a blind date and leave quickly! It’s too much! It’s too much! Even Lant is treating me coldly! Hwaaaaaaaah!!!”
“No, it’s not like that.”
I revealed a secret I had been hiding to Lelia.
“Because the next blind date for Lelia is with me.”
“……Huh?”
Lelia stopped crying loudly and tilted her head, looking at me.
