Chapter 224 – Date!
◈
Returning to the restaurant, Mr. Kevin greeted us with a very rewarding expression.
“Welcome back, Mr. Rent! The dishes are here!”
Entering the kitchen, the Oak Champion steaks I had requested were lined up.
“Thank you, Mr. Kevin.”
“No! I’m the one who should be thanking you! This will further enhance our restaurant’s reputation! And, with the extra meat Mr. Rent provided, we can make delicious dishes for Peira as well… Hehehe.”
Peira was clearly the name of Ms. Ninya’s acquaintance and the courtesan Mr. Kevin was infatuated with.
It seemed Mr. Kevin was trying to score points with delicious food.
Good luck, Mr. Kevin.
I put the food into my inventory.
“Then, we’ll be going.”
“Yes! Goodbye!”
We left the restaurant and walked towards the Fox’s Den.
“He was really grateful to Rent… Is Oak Champion meat that delicious?”
“It’s so delicious that nobles are desperate to eat it, and high-end restaurants like that one will even bid in auctions to get their hands on it.”
“I, I see.”
“I had it a month ago… It was really delicious. Melissa will definitely like it too. The smell of the food was delicious, wasn’t it?”
“Well… it did smell delicious.”
Then, we stopped by the Adventurer’s Guild warehouse and delivered the steaks to Mr. Kelban for the Guild Master, Ms. Lenny, and Mr. Kelban himself, before returning to the Fox’s Den.
“Welcome back~!”
Noah was the first to greet us.
“Rent! Rent! Food! You brought today’s food, right!”
Noah’s eyes sparkled as she wagged her tail.
It seemed she had been eagerly waiting for the Oak Champion steak.
“Yeah, I brought it.”
“Yay! Ah, Melissa, did you enjoy your date?”
“Yeah.”
“Welcome back.”
“Welcome!”
“Ah, Rent, Melissa.”
Following them, Ms. Ninya, Tina, and Elsie greeted us.
Ms. Miranda smiled and waved from the counter.
“Hey! Let’s eat now! Melissa, you’re hungry too, right?”
“I ate some peanuts… but I’m not that full.”
“Hehehe, then no worries! Once you take a bite, you won’t care about being a little less hungry! Rent! Let’s eat!”
“Okay, Noah. Let’s put the tables together.”
“Okay!”
Noah immediately put the tables together.
It was still too early for other adventurers to come for a meal.
We sat around the joined tables.
“Then, I’ll take it out.”
I took out the Oak Champion steaks and the prepared tableware from my inventory and placed them on the table.
“Wow…!”
“It looks delicious every time…”
“Let’s eat quickly!”
“It looks so delicious.”
Everyone showed they couldn’t wait to eat.
Melissa tilted her head, seeing everyone’s reactions.
“Is it really that delicious?”
“You’ll know once you try it, Melissa. Come on, let’s eat.”
And we all ate the Oak Champion steak together.
◈
Munch munch munch munch
The fantastic taste of the Oak Champion steak.
The moment I tasted it again, I…
Goooooooool!
Once again, the Oak Champion’s roar was heard.
It was like a strong cry in my head, urging me to taste it! The taste of the steak, which felt like a taste of heaven, activated my whole body.
It’s delicious as always.
As proof, even Melissa, who had been looking indifferent, wondering if it was really that delicious, was eating the steak like crazy.
“Gulp! What… is this?”
And after eating the last piece, Melissa was trembling with both hands.
“It’s… so delicious…! To think that such a dish exists in this world…!”
“How was it, Melissa?”
“It’s… the best. But it’s already over. I’m definitely full, but I want to eat more… It’s dangerous. This dish is dangerous. I feel like I could eat it endlessly and gain weight quickly.”
“I see.”
“Rent, didn’t you think it was delicious?”
“No, it was incredibly delicious. But I didn’t worry about that.”
“……”
Melissa placed her cutlery down with a thud, held the plate with both hands, and then.
Lick
She licked the sauce left on the plate.
“Delicious…”
I’m very happy that she enjoyed it so much, even licking the sauce left on the plate.
I followed Melissa and licked the sauce left on my plate.
Lick
Delicious!
For reference, everyone who saw us do that followed suit after finishing their steaks.
It means that the Oak Champion steak was delicious enough to ignore how unseemly it looked.
◈
After the meal, I was going to get a heal from Elsie.
But Ms. Ninya put her hand on Elsie’s shoulder and said that she would take care of me today.
Perhaps it was Ms. Ninya’s way of being considerate to Melissa and me since today was our date.
I went into my room and was waiting for Tina as usual.
Even if I didn’t get a heal from Elsie, I would further activate my body with Tina’s massage and spend a hot night with Melissa.
That’s what I was thinking when.
Creak
“R, Rent…”
Melissa came into my room.
“M, Melissa.”
Melissa was not wearing her usual plain villager clothes, nor the dress she wore today… She came into my room wearing a negligee that revealed her skin.
“T, today is… my day… so I asked Tina to give me her time.”
“I, I see.”
I thought she was beautiful when I first saw her in the dress…
But seeing her in this negligee made Melissa look even more beautiful… and attractive.
Melissa slowly approached and climbed onto the bed.
And then, Melissa buried her face in my chest and said.
“Rent… T, today, please… not intensely in the middle… and no baby play… please be g, gentle from beginning to end.”
Melissa wanted normal love-love sex, not intense or special play.
I grabbed Melissa’s shoulders and looked her straight in the face.
“Okay. I’ll be gentle today, just as Melissa wants.”
After saying that, I slowly brought my face closer to Melissa’s.
As my face approached, Melissa closed her eyes and pouted her lips, and we gently kissed as a start.
After parting our lips, I said the words I always thought.
“I love you, Melissa.”
“I love you too…♡”
And we spent a gentle night.
◈
The next morning.
I woke up feeling refreshed.
Looking to my side, Melissa was sleeping soundly, naked.
Yesterday was a soft love-love sex that continued on and on.
Starting with a gentle kiss, we looked at each other’s faces in missionary position.
We continued to kiss while in the missionary position, with love-love piston action.
We changed positions in the middle, enjoying face-to-face sitting and doggy style.
From the middle, Melissa calling my name and moaning was really hot.
The sex continued until Melissa was exhausted and fell asleep.
She definitely didn’t pass out from going too far, but fell asleep from exhaustion.
After finishing up, I looked at Melissa’s sleeping face and fell asleep.
In my dream, I indulged in Maid Solly’s lap pillow.
Especially in the latter half, pouring juice into the triangular space formed by Maid Solly’s lower abdomen and the gap between her legs after she took off her underwear was very hot.
Of course, after that, I had a storm of sex with Maid Solly, and after enjoying myself with Solly in my dream for about 9 hours, I woke up.
“Melissa.”
I gently shook Melissa’s shoulder and called her.
“Umm… Rent…?”
“Did you sleep well?”
Melissa rubbed her eyes and looked at me.
Hwaaaaaaak
“Y, yes…”
Melissa’s face turned red and she lowered her head.
It seemed she remembered what happened yesterday.
“Let’s go take a bath.”
“Okay.”
After going to the bath and bathing with Melissa, we came outside.
“Reeeent~~~!”
Noah ran towards me and clung to my body.
Rub rub rub rub
Noah, who was clinging to me, rubbed her face vigorously.
“Why, what’s wrong, Noah?”
This kind of intense display of affection is very nice, but I’m a little flustered by the sudden action.
“Hehehe, today is my day. I feel so excited thinking about monopolizing Rent!”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah! And I ate Oak Champion steak yesterday, so I’m full of energy!”
She certainly seems full of energy.
Noah’s tail is wagging faster than usual.
“Noah.”
“Yes!”
“Come down to eat.”
“Okay!”
Noah answered energetically and got off me.
After that, Elsie and Ms. Ninya also came down, and we had breakfast together.
I thought Noah would go up to the 4th floor to change clothes like Elsie or Melissa, but after eating, Noah immediately smiled and said.
“Let’s go, Rent!”
“Don’t you have anything to prepare?”
“Nope!”
“Let’s pack a lunch.”
“Okay!”
Today, Noah’s tension was higher than usual.
She was lively and cuter than usual.
After receiving the lunch box from Tina, Noah and I left the Fox’s Den.
As we walked down the street, I asked Noah.
“Noah, is there anywhere you want to go today?”
“Yeah. Let’s go to the market first, Rent.”
“The market?”
“Yeah. There’s something I want to buy.”
I went to the market with Noah.
“This and… this and… ah, and this, please! 20 of each!”
“Thank you!”
Noah mainly bought food such as bread and meat at the market.
“Rent, please!”
“Okay.”
I put all the items Noah handed me into my inventory.
What Noah bought wasn’t just food.
“They’ll like this, right? Ah, and they said they wanted something like this last time.”
She also bought things like Pudan souvenirs, wooden toys, and dolls sold at the market.
“Please take this too, Rent!”
“Okay. But Noah, why are you buying so much?”
“Because they’re gifts to give at the place I want to go with Rent.”
Gifts… Seeing her buying toys and dolls, it seemed like gifts for children.
“Ah, they’ll like this too!”
I accompanied Noah on her shopping for about an hour.
It’s said that shopping with women is painful, but I enjoyed watching Noah buy things with a big smile, so I didn’t feel that way.
After shopping, the place Noah took me was a slightly secluded back alley.
“This is my first time coming to a place like this.”
“Well, yeah. It’s not a place that ordinary people would visit. It’s like the dark side of Pudan! Well, that was an exaggeration, it’s just an area where poor people live.”
There was a gap between rich and poor everywhere.
Looking around, I could see people in slightly shabby clothes here and there.
“I told Rent before, right? That I grew up in an orphanage.”
“Yeah. You told me when we first met.”
“Usually, orphanages aren’t very nice, right? It’s a place where kids who lost their parents due to circumstances… or were abandoned by their parents are. So, orphanages are usually built in these back alleys.”
“Isn’t it a bit dangerous for children to live there?”
In manga and novels, it’s a common trope that orphans become twisted or engage in theft due to harsh environments.
“It’s okay. Still, Pudan is lively… and the security isn’t that bad, so it’s not something Rent needs to worry about. I’ve heard that other places are very bad, but at least… thankfully, Pudan is better.”
“I see.”
“Hehe, yeah! So don’t worry too much.”
At that moment, a middle-aged man in shabby clothes saw us and spoke.
“Huh…? You, are you Noah?”
“Oh, Uncle Like, it’s been a while~.”
“I heard you became an adventurer… Is that big guy your companion?”
“Yeah! His name is Rent!”
“Re, Rent?! If it’s Rent, are you talking about that Dungeon Crasher Rent!?”
“Yeah!”
It seems my rumors have spread even to the back alleys.
“You, you became a companion of an amazing guy… Did you sell your body or… Ugh!”
The middle-aged man named Like turned pale when he saw me.
“N, no! I didn’t mean to insult you. It’s just that…”
“Puhahaha! Uncle Like, you’re too scared! Rent isn’t that scary, so you don’t have to worry. And I didn’t sell my body.”
“Y, yeah. S, sorry.”
“I’m Rent’s lover~ Right, Rent~♡”
Noah hugged me tightly.
The sensation of her breasts pressed against me felt good.
“Yeah.”
I tickled Noah’s chin with my hand.
“Hyaang♡ Uuuu~♡ Rent’s hands feel so good~♡”
“L, lover? Is that true?”
“Yeah!”
“That’s… that’s good. W, well then, I’ll be going…”
The middle-aged man named Like quickly ran away to another place.
“Who is he?”
“Uncle Like. He’s an uncle I’ve known since I was little. He’s a bit vulgar, but he’s not a bad person.”
“But why was he scared?”
“Rent, you’re big. Just by seeing me bring you here, he probably thought we were more than just friends, and was afraid of getting hit if he insulted me, right?”
“Ah.”
Certainly, I would be angry if someone insulted Noah badly.
I have no intention of staying still if my beloved lover is insulted.
“More importantly, let’s go quickly, Rent! It’s just a little further!”
Noah grabbed my hand and walked quickly.
And the place Noah led me to was…
“Ta-da! This is where I grew up before I became an adventurer!”
It was a dilapidated-looking orphanage.
