Chapter 202 – 202: Ignite! The Flames Of 7P!!!
◈
An hour later.
I was nearing the village, using a miraculous continuous jet rocket propulsion method inspired by the Hectopascal Kick.
“This should be about right.”
I created two binds in front of my hands and grabbed them.
Whirr, whirr, whirr, whirr.
As fast as I had accelerated, I rotated around the binds like the wheels of a racing car moving at high speed.
If my body wasn’t superhuman, wouldn’t my hands have caught fire?
The rotation stopped, and I looked down.
I saw my beloved hometown, which I hadn’t seen for about a month and a week.
“Looking at it like this, our village is really surrounded by forests.”
Thanks to that, there were also secluded spots surrounded by nature, so I didn’t think it was bad.
I let go of the binds.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
With the sound effect, I fell.
Thud!
Dudun! Dududun!
I landed on the ground in a pose like a naked robot from the future.
Of course, I couldn’t make a hole in the road people used, so I created a foothold with my mana weapon right before I hit the ground.
My hometown was about 100 meters ahead.
Tap tap tap!
I turned off Create Sound and ran towards the village normally, without putting any extra force into my feet.
As I entered the village, I saw Dave.
“Dave!”
“Huh? Rent?!”
Dave’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw me.
“Hey! Are you okay?! They said there was a flood in Peldan! And that a ton of monsters were coming out! Were you okay? No, more importantly, what about the other companions….”
Dave looked very worried as he approached me.
“I’m fine, Dave. The flood is over.”
“Huh…? O-Over?”
“Yeah. All the adventurers in Peldan, the royal army of Escar, and the mages of the magic city worked together to end the flood.”
“R-Really? Then what about your companions? Like, Ms. Ninya….”
Dave still seemed very interested in Ms. Ninya.
Come to think of it, did Shima successfully seduce Dave?
“Everyone is resting because they’re exhausted. I came alone this time.”
“Whew… that’s a relief. Actually, the village was in chaos too. I was worried about you, but I was also worried about what would happen if monsters overflowed. But… the flood is really over, right?”
“Yeah. So, relax, Dave. Ah, I want to stop by my house first….”
“O-Okay. Go see your mom and dad quickly.”
I said goodbye to Dave and went straight home.
Squeak!
I opened the door and entered the house.
“Mom, Dad!”
“Oh? Rent!”
“Oh my, our Rent!”
As soon as I came in, Mom and Dad came to me at the same time and hugged me.
“Rent, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Oh my, our son is alive!”
Tears welled up in Mom and Dad’s eyes.
I smiled brightly to reassure them.
“Don’t worry, Mom, Dad! I’m perfectly fine! Oh, and the flood is over, so don’t worry.”
“What? R-Really, son?”
“Is it true?”
“Yeah. The adventurers, the royal army, and the mages united and ended it safely.”
Mom and Dad were really happy to hear my words.
“Oh, that’s great! Honey!”
“Yes, dear! Our son is safe, and the flood is over! Oh? But Rent, where are the others?”
“Ah, everyone is tired and resting in Peldan. I came alone.”
“Is that so? But why aren’t you resting in Peldan?”
“I’m overflowing with energy. I wasn’t tired at all, so I came to give Mom and Dad money. I was going to come sooner, but the flood happened, so it was delayed.”
Slap!
Mom slapped my shoulder.
“Oh my! You’re such a filial son! Even if you want to send money to your mom and dad, you should rest too! What if you get sick!”
“I-It’s okay, Mom. I’m really not tired.”
Rather, my libido was surging, and I wanted to see Mom and Dad, but I also wanted to see Melissa quickly, so I came to the village.
“Oh, right, Mom, Dad.”
I took out a pouch with 100 silver from my inventory.
“Here’s the money.”
Whoosh!
Mom quickly snatched the pouch and stepped back.
“Oh my, our lovely filial son!”
Seeing that I was safe, Mom became the money-loving mom she usually was.
“Oh my, there’s so much silver!”
“Yeah, there are 50 more of those.”
Dad and Mom’s eyes widened at my words.
“…F-Fifty? Son, did you bring 50 gold? You gave us 100 gold last time?”
“Hehehe, our son is amazing, Dad, Mom. Even without catching bounties, I can give this much to Mom and Dad.”
“O-Our son has already started earning much more than his dad….”
“D-Dear, shouldn’t we make a safe in our house?”
“Y-Yeah…. If our son brings this much money every month, I don’t know where to put it….”
Indeed, if I brought a pouch of 100 silver each time, there wouldn’t be a place to put it someday.
“Should I bring gold next time?”
“G-Gold….”
“Rent, even if you bring gold, there’s nowhere to use it in our village.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
Mom said, holding out the money pouch to me.
“…Son. Just keep the money.”
“Huh? Mom, is that okay?”
“Yeah, we still haven’t used all the money under the bed. It’s better if our son keeps it and gives it to us when we need it.”
“Okay, Mom.”
I took the pouch from Mom and put it in my inventory.
Dad also stepped away from me for a moment and said.
“Son. You’ll still come once a month, right?”
“Of course.”
“Okay, okay, come inside first, son. Aren’t you hungry?”
I had filled my stomach with mostly alcohol and snacks, so I wasn’t hungry at all.
More than that, I had reassured Mom and Dad, so now I wanted to achieve the next purpose of coming to the village.
“It’s okay. More than that… I have to go back soon.”
“No, already?”
“You must be tired from coming here, why don’t you rest in the village for at least a day?”
To Mom and Dad, it would seem like I had come all the way from Peldan to the village alone.
That was true, but the time it took was different.
“It’s okay. I actually came very quickly because I came alone. The flood also ended this morning.”
Mom and Dad tilted their heads at my words.
“Huh? It ended this morning?”
“Son, what do you mean? Even if our son is fast, it would take a day or two to get here.”
“Mom, Dad. Your son can come faster. It only took me an hour to get here.”
“No, an hour!?”
“Is that even possible?!”
“Yeah. Mom and Dad, your son is amazing.”
“Then… are you going back to Peldan already?”
Surprisingly, both Mom and Dad understood quickly.
Maybe they had seen how fast I ran last time, so they were somewhat convinced?
“No, I’m going to look around the village for a bit.”
Actually, I was planning to go to the house next door right away to see Melissa.
“Son… can’t you just sleep for one day?”
“Sorry, Dad.”
I’m really sorry, Dad. My libido is so high right now that I want to see Melissa quickly.
“Honey, just let him go. We’ll see him again in a month anyway. Son. Will the others come with you next time?”
“Yeah.”
Mom waved her hand and said.
“Okay. Then look around for a bit and go, son.”
“Okay, Mom. Next time, I’ll bring something delicious instead of money.”
Mom and Dad’s eyes sparkled.
“…Mom, I want to eat a cake from the city.”
“Son, Dad wants to eat a cream bread from the city.”
“Yeah, I’ll definitely buy them when I come next time.”
Mom and Dad went back into the house.
The moment the door closed, I saw their eyes become sticky as they looked at each other, so I guessed they were relieved and were going to make love again?
Our Mom and Dad were still very loving.
And I left my house and… went straight to the front door of the house next door.
Knock knock.
“Yes, who is it… Oh my, isn’t that Rent!?”
When I knocked on the door, Aunt Telisha opened it.
“Hello, Aunt Telisha. Is Melissa….”
Tap tap tap!
Wham!
I heard someone running from behind Aunt Telisha, and then Melissa appeared and hugged me.
“M-Melissa.”
“You… it’s you, right? It’s really Rent, right? You’re alive, right? Is it real?”
Melissa, who was hugging me, looked up at me with tears welling up in her eyes.
News of the flood had spread to our village as well.
So, it was natural that Melissa had been worried about me.
“It’s me, Melissa.”
“Oh my, oh my.”
Aunt Telisha blinked and smiled as she looked at us.
She resembled Noah when he had a slightly sly smile.
“Aunt Telisha. I want to talk to Melissa alone for a bit… I’ll take Melissa with me.”
“Oh my, oh my, go ahead. You can take your time talking.”
“Melissa… let’s go to the forest for a bit.”
Melissa nodded while still hugging me.
“…Yeah.”
◈
Melissa and I walked together in the forest.
While walking, Melissa hugged my arm and walked without saying anything, sobbing.
And I stopped walking when I arrived at the place where Melissa had confessed to me for the first time.
“Melissa.”
Wham.
When I stopped and called her name, Melissa let go of my arm and hugged me again.
“I was scared… I was so scared. Even after a month, Rent didn’t come… and the day after that, I heard that there was a flood in Peldan… I was so scared that Rent might die fighting monsters….”
I hugged Melissa and said.
“I’m sorry, I made you worry.”
“Uhh… it’s not Rent’s fault. But… I was really scared. I thought I would never see Rent again, and it was really… scary… hng.”
I stepped back a little and caressed Melissa’s face with both hands.
Melissa’s usually indifferent face was completely tearful, and her nose and cheeks were red.
I wiped the tears from Melissa’s eyes with my thumb.
“Melissa, don’t worry, I’m here.”
“Yeah….”
Melissa, who was so sad while worrying about me.
That Melissa was truly lovely.
She was so lovely that I wanted to kiss the crying Melissa and make her shake off the sadness in her heart a little more.
“Melissa… I’m going to kiss you.”
“…Yeah, do it.”
And I shared a deep kiss with Melissa.
“Chup, chup, slurrrp. Lick lick chup… haa, Rent… hmm… chuuuup.”
After sharing a deep kiss with Melissa for five minutes, I said to Melissa.
“Are you… a little calmer?”
“Yeah… thank you. Ah… what about Elsie and the others?”
“Everyone is in Peldan right now. I came alone this time.”
“I see… ah, the flood… what happened to the flood?”
“Don’t worry, the flood ended safely. Everyone is having a festival in Peldan right now.”
“I-Is that so. That’s a relief… haa….”
Melissa sighed in relief.
…Personally, I think the atmosphere is quite good right now.
Moreover, this is the place where Melissa and I had our first sex.
It’s quite fateful in terms of location, and the atmosphere is good, so wouldn’t it be nice to do it with Melissa again here?
Okay, let’s suggest a joyful love-love sex to Melissa.
“Melissa, um….”
“Rent!”
“Y-Yeah.”
Melissa suddenly called my name loudly.
“I, I… I want to go to Peldan with Rent!”
“To Peldan?”
“Yeah, I was really… really lonely while Rent was gone! I actually thought I’d be okay? But that only lasted for two days? On the third day, I started thinking about Rent’s face more and more, and I wondered what Rent was doing, and the memories I had with Rent came back to me in my dreams, and my desire to see Rent grew bigger and bigger!
My mom said I’ve been spacing out too much lately, and I’ve been thinking about Rent all the time! Every time I think about Rent, my heart races, but Rent wasn’t there, so I was so lonely. Really… I never dreamed that falling in love… that not having the person you love by your side would be this lonely!
But even after a month, Rent didn’t come, and then when I heard about the flood, I really… really… felt like my heart was being torn apart.
And now that Rent is here in front of me, I’m so, so, so, so happy! I don’t want to be lonely again. I want to be with Rent! I felt that deeply during this past month! So… so….”
Melissa said, grabbing my leather armor tightly.
“Take me… take me to Peldan with you.”
