Chapter 631 – Episode 631: Lelia’S Homecoming!
◈
A week has passed since Kali truly became my familiar.
From that day on, Kali showed a completely different side of herself.
Kali, who used to tremble just by looking at me.
But the current Kali didn’t have a trace of that old self.
If the old Kali was like:
“M-m-m-master, h-h-hello… H-hic!”
The current Kali is like:
“Good morning, Master♡ I’m so happy to be able to serve you again today♡♡♡”
She greets me like this every morning.
Of course, it’s not just that.
When helping with the inn’s work, Kali moves more energetically, taking orders and serving.
“Kali~ Give me some more booze here!”
“Alright, human! Wait!”
Even when I’m around, she doesn’t stutter at all.
Rather, when she’s almost done with her work, Kali approaches me and says:
“Hehe♡♡ Master♡ I worked hard today♡ Please praise me♡”
And she gently brings her head to me.
Of course, for Kali, who is a good familiar who worked hard, I would praise her sincerely and pat her head.
“……”
However, if I just pat her, Kali would look up at me with a longing expression, so I would add:
*Scratch, scratch*
“Heeung♡ Scent♡”
I wouldn’t forget to lightly scratch near her horns.
Two days ago, Ninya saw this and was extremely envious.
“Rent~ If it’s horns that are good for training, I have them here too~♡”
That night, I spent a very hot time developing Ninya’s horns.
The biggest change would be Kali’s assertiveness at night.
At night, Kali used to try to get into the mana weapon bed I made as quickly as possible, pull the blanket over herself, and try to fall asleep quickly.
But now:
“Kkiing♡ Kkiing…♡ Master♡ Do that♡ That♡ Kali too… Include me♡♡♡”
She now wants to have sex with me, even participating in the complex play with the lovers who sleep in my room.
“Haaht♡”
For reference, Elsie was in my room when she first wanted that.
“Elsie, are you okay?”
“Hyaht♡ I, I, I’m… O-okay…♡♡♡”
After that, Kali went on to be with me along with Noah, Melissa, and Tikia, etc.
While being with them, she didn’t try to monopolize me, but always prioritized the lovers’ turns, and Kali felt like she was assisting them.
However, there was one time when Kali was scared like before.
That was when:
“Now, let’s do it together, Kali!”
“Kyaaaaaaak!!!”
It was when it was Solly’s turn.
“U-u-u-u-u-uh! S-S-S-Solly! Why is Solly h-here…”
Come to think of it, this is the first time Kali is meeting Solly.
Even after Kali came, I had Solly come out, but that was when we were in each of the lovers’ rooms.
Of course, after explaining to Kali, who was so surprised to see Solly:
*Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!*
“Hyageuuht♡ Uung♡ Master’s extreme dick♡♡♡”
“Rent’s majestic dick is the best♡♡♡”
While being pounded together with Solly, all the awkwardness towards Solly disappeared.
In that way, Kali was gradually getting closer to us and giving the feeling that she was becoming more of a family member.
And while spending such days, I am now, to not repeat the mistakes of the past.
Through my clone, I spoke to Lelia, who was taking a break with me in Sol.
“Lelia, I want to meet your mother and father.”
“……Huh?”
Lelia tilted her head at my words.
“M-my parents… you mean?”
“Yes, we’re dating now. Of course, I have to greet your parents. After that, we’ll go to my parents.”
“R-Rent’s mother and father…!”
I once made the mistake of visiting Lenny’s parents too late.
But…!
But this time, I will never make that mistake!
The Kali issue has been resolved, and I’m in a lovey-dovey relationship with Lelia, so there’s enough reason to visit them.
“Ah, well, that is, Rent. Going to meet my parents is a bit…”
“Huh? Don’t tell me… they passed away.”
“No, it’s not that! They’re both alive and well! B-but, but…”
“But?”
Lelia fidgeted with her fingers and said to me with a very awkward expression.
“As Rent knows, my parents also know that I’ve really… failed at matchmaking over and over again… In fact, every time I visit them a few times a year, I’ve complained to my parents about it…”
“Oh.”
The hearts of parents who see their daughter crying and getting drunk after failing at matchmaking.
It must be very heartbreaking.
Hearing that, I wanted to meet them even more.
“So, if I introduce Rent to them, they’ll both be very happy! Yes! That’s for sure! But…! My parents, when they’re in a good mood, they just go on a rampage and talk about this and that… I’m scared of what they might say in front of Rent…!”
“Let’s go right now!”
Most of the things they say when they’re in a good mood are probably about Lelia’s childhood episodes, right?
I really want to hear them.
“Rent?! No, there’s still work…”
“We only have patrol left, right?”
Lelia is so capable that she finishes the paperwork in a flash.
Besides, I’m here for monster subjugation and things that require strength, so that’s also super fast.
Lelia’s schedule has been pretty relaxed lately.
“P-patrol is also an important mission! As the leader of the Holy Knights! I can’t neglect this mission…”
“Ah, then I’ll go on patrol instead.”
“Bendy!?”
Bendy, who was resting with us, raised her hand to help.
“Introducing each other’s parents is really important, Commander. No, seriously, I’m not kidding.”
Bendy, who is already married and has a child, was very persuasive.
“B-but Bendy! If I leave carelessly, High Priestess Maren will also be in trouble…”
“It’s okay, go quickly. You can leave work early today.”
“What?!”
Lelia, who was looking at Bendy, turned her head towards the direction where High Priestess Maren’s voice suddenly came from.
High Priestess Maren, who had been listening to our conversation through a small warp hole I had made, was smiling kindly at where Lelia’s gaze was directed.
“Go, Lelia.”
“H-High Priestess Maren…! R-Rent! Don’t tell me you already prepared everything!”
“Yes, I had a feeling Lelia would refuse at first.”
“Ugh! The joy of you knowing me well and the sadness of you knowing me too well torment me.”
“That’s a big problem. Let’s share a lot of love tonight so you can forget all the torment.”
“R-Rent! P-please only say those things… when we’re alone…♡♡♡”
“Wow, I still can’t get used to the Commander’s female face.”
“Shut up! Go on patrol!”
“Yes~.”
As Bendy left the lounge, Lelia grabbed her head.
“Ugh… A-are we really going?”
“Yes! Let’s go right now! Ah, by the way, where is Lelia’s hometown in Escal?”
“That is…”
“That is very close to Solario…”
“High Priestess Maren! I’ll say it, so please don’t leak personal information carelessly! …Haa. Rent, at least I want to change my clothes to meet my parents.”
“Yes, okay!”
And she quickly finished dressing up in about 30 minutes.
I also thought that it wouldn’t be right to go in my usual dungeon-going attire, so I wore a neat suit, though not as much as the one I wore during the matchmaking.
After getting dressed, I left Solario with Lelia, and while hesitating, I used telekinesis to fly towards the direction of her hometown.
And I arrived at Lelia’s hometown.
It wasn’t a rural village surrounded by forests like our village!
It was more like a slightly bustling town.
At least the architecture is better than my hometown.
After landing near the town, I walked with Lelia towards the town, passed through the entrance, and went straight to Lelia’s parents’ house.
“Gulp… I’ve come.”
Lelia was swallowing and sweating at the door of her parents’ house.
She said she would come, but is she nervous now that she’s actually here?
No, maybe she’s worried about what kind of episodes her parents will tell me because they’re happy.
But I’m sorry, Lelia.
I’m actually really looking forward to it!
*Knock knock*
“Ah!”
Lelia’s parents.
I knocked on the door of what is now my mother and father’s house.
“Yes, I’m coming.”
A woman’s voice was heard from beyond the door.
It’s probably Lelia’s mother.
*Creak*
“Who is it?”
When the door opened, a middle-aged woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, who looked a lot like Lelia, came out.
“Huh? Oh my, Lelia.”
“O-oh, it’s been a while, M-mother…”
When her mother saw Lelia, she smiled brightly and held Lelia’s hand tightly.
“You’re already here! You usually come after a few months! No, what does that matter, my daughter is here. Come in. Ah, who is the person next to you? Is he perhaps a subordinate who joined the Holy Knights this time? But the 13th Knights are only women, right? Has the system changed? Oh my, look at me, I keep talking and making the guest stand outside! Come in!”
Her mother spoke rapidly and gestured for us to come inside.
“Yes.”
She’s so happy and talking so fast, I think I’ll be able to hear a lot of episodes.
Is that why Lelia was so anxious?
First, I went inside the house with Lelia.
“Honey~ Our daughter is here~.”
“What, Lelia!?”
“Huh?! Ah, Father!?”
A middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa in the living room stood up abruptly.
“W-why is Father home… It’s time for you to go to work…”
“Your dad is on vacation now.”
“T-that can’t be…”
“Lelia! My daughter!”
The man.
No, her father walked towards Lelia.
Her father also had the same blonde hair and blue eyes as Lelia.
“Welcome, Lelia. Did you take a vacation?”
“Y-yes, Father…”
“Yes, it’s really nice as a parent that you took a vacation and came home…”
Her father smiled, then immediately looked at her with a pitiful gaze, as if he was comforting someone.
He put his hand on Lelia’s shoulder and said:
“Yes, you must have had… another painful experience.”
“Huh?”
Her father’s eyes were already tearing up, and he looked at Lelia with a sad expression.
“You failed at matchmaking again, right? You failed several times like last time and were so distressed that you wanted to see your mom and dad’s faces, right?”
“Ah, Father!?”
“Ah! That, that’s what it was, Lelia… Your mother didn’t even know…”
Hearing her father’s words, her mother also started to tear up.
“M-mother!?”
“I know, we all know, our beautiful daughter. You don’t have to say it. Yes, drink a lot of alcohol today. Your dad will take all of our daughter’s drunken ramblings! Your dad will take it all night!”
“Mom will make everything our Lelia likes today. What kind of snacks do you want with your alcohol, my daughter? Tell me everything.”
“No, Father, Mother. That, that’s not it…!”
Her father put his hand on my shoulder and rubbed his eyes with his fingers.
“You’re that, right? You’re the person who’s going to cast a cure or stop our Lelia if she goes too wild, right? Last time, a subordinate named Diana came with her… Please take care of our Lelia today. But please don’t cast a cure if you can help it. We, as parents, can take all of our daughter’s resentment. Just do it when she tries to go wild.”
Diana accompanied her, huh, Lelia.
More than that, did she go wild?
“U-uh…”
“A-ahhh…!!”
Lelia grabbed her head, looking like she was already in trouble.
“Lelia? What’s wrong? Ah, this time, she must have been so broken that it’s hard even when she’s sober. I’m sorry, your mother didn’t even know… Go to your room and rest now.”
“Yes, rest well, Lelia. Ah, can you stay for a while? While Lelia is resting, can you tell us a little about how our daughter is living…”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Lelia raised her head and shouted loudly.
“Huh?!”
“L-Lelia?”
“M-mother… Father…”
Lelia’s face was completely red with shame, and she trembled as she spoke to her mother and father, who were startled by the shout.
“I have a man I’m going to marry…”
“”……Whattttttttttttt!?””
This time, her father and mother shouted loudly.
