Chapter 39 – Episode 39 – To The 3Rd Floor (2)
◈
“Hyaaaah!”
*Swoosh!*
*Kuh-uh-uh-uck!*
Noah’s dagger precisely sliced through the kobold’s neck, and the kobold collapsed, blood gushing from the wound.
One hour had passed since they arrived on the third floor.
Having taken down over 20 kobolds, Noah’s movements had become more fluid as she grew accustomed to them.
Now, she could deftly dodge the kobolds’ swords, aim for their necks, and dispatch them in a single strike.
“Hehe, now kobolds are one-hit wonders!”
“You’re amazing, Noah.”
*Thwack!*
*Ugh!*
I struck a kobold with just enough force to twist its neck without bursting its face, and then spoke to Noah.
Noah crossed her arms and tilted her head.
“…It feels strange to hear that from Rent… You’ve been one-shotting them from the start.”
“But you adapted quickly and can now aim for their necks in one go. I think you’re amazing too, Noah.”
“Really?”
“Of course.”
“Hehehe.”
“That’s right. Rent is amazing, but I think Noah is great too.”
Elsie came closer and echoed my words.
“Is that so~? Hehehe.”
Thanks to that, Noah smiled brightly and became even happier.
I reached into the chest of a now-familiar kobold, pulled out the magic stone, shook off the blood, and put it in my backpack along with the kobold’s sword.
“Wow~ You’re used to it now, but Rent’s magic stone extraction is still amazing.”
“Is it?”
“Of course! Usually, you’d use a dismantling sword to get the magic stone. Hey, Rent, does it feel bad when you take out the magic stone? Like… do you feel the texture of the monster’s insides on your hand?”
“I’ve done it so many times, I’m used to it.”
I’ve become so used to it that I think of the time I put my fingers in Noah’s pussy every time I extract a magic stone.
I’m dampening the unpleasant feeling of the monster’s insides by thinking of the pleasant feeling of Noah’s pussy.
“Your backpack… is full.”
Elsie said, looking at my backpack, which was bulging with magic stones and swords.
Magic stones didn’t take up much space, but the swords were surprisingly large.
Even if we defeated more kobolds, there was no place to store the magic stones and swords.
“Yeah… What should we do? Should we go back to report our progress and exchange the magic stones?”
Noah shook her head at my suggestion.
“No, Rent. Let’s catch a few more kobolds.”
“Yes, Rent. Please.”
And surprisingly, Elsie agreed with Noah.
“Why?”
“Can’t you feel it, Rent? It’s like… there’s a heat in my chest, and it feels like it’s about to burst.”
“No?”
Instead, my lower body is full of heat from my fantasies.
“Hmm, is it because Rent is strong from the start and has a higher existence level?”
“That might be it, Rent.”
“Yeah, Elsie.”
“I’ve only heard about it, but adventurers who are close to promotion all have something in common. They all feel a certain heat in their chests.”
“Is that a sign before promotion?”
“Yes, that’s right. Noah and I are both feeling that sign. If we catch more kobolds… I’m sure Noah and I will both be promoted.”
If that’s the case, then it’s definitely a good sign.
If they get promoted, both Elsie and Noah’s survival rates will increase.
Especially for a healer like Elsie, an increase in physical ability could provide more leeway in case of an emergency.
And if Noah gets promoted, hunting will be even faster…
And wouldn’t we be able to enjoy sex for longer?
I think it’s very good news!
I can’t help but smile.
“Okay! Then let’s catch as many kobolds as we can until Elsie and Noah get promoted!”
“Thank you, Rent.”
“Great! Let’s catch them quickly and get promoted!”
Elsie smiled and thanked me, and Noah stretched out her arm and cheered.
That’s when it happened.
*Kroaaaaaaaar!*
A loud kobold cry echoed nearby.
It was a cry that was incomparably louder and fiercer than any kobold cry we had heard so far.
“…I just had a thought.”
Noah said, looking at me after hearing the cry.
“Aren’t you too connected with unique monsters, Rent?”
It seems that the cry is from a unique kobold monster.
It must be the cry of a kobold warrior.
“Looks like I have something else to give to Lenny besides the sword.”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
“Elsie~ Aren’t you being too carefree?”
“But Rent defeated the Rage Fang.”
“Ah~ Well, even in the dungeon, a kobold warrior is much weaker than a Rage Fang. Okay! Rent, let’s go! Let’s hunt the kobold warrior! I’m sure we can get promoted if we defeat it!”
“Got it!”
We ran towards the source of the cry.
My heart was pounding as we ran.
I was curious about how strong Elsie and Noah would become after their promotion.
And I was excited about how much longer I could enjoy sex with Noah after her promotion.
The kobold warrior that appeared at the right time even looked beautiful.
I should use the kobold warrior more often in my monster city group attack fantasies.
Or maybe I should consider changing the role of the masturbation fantasy from a kobold to a kobold warrior tonight.
We didn’t have to run for long before we found the kobold warrior.
*Kroaaaaaaaar!*
The kobold warrior held a double-edged axe in one hand and wore shoulder pads.
Its lower body was bare, just like the other kobolds.
Its physique wasn’t much different from the other kobolds, but its fur was red.
Perhaps because it was a unique individual, its dick was much larger than the other kobolds.
It gave off the aura of a unique monster, unlike the ordinary kobolds.
“That’s the kobold warrior… Okay! Rent, I’ll attack first!”
As soon as she saw the kobold warrior, Noah tried to charge.
She seemed excited to get promoted as soon as possible.
But this is when safety comes first.
I reached out and stopped Noah.
“No, Noah. I’ll handle this one alone. It’s safer and faster that way.”
“But I’m used to fighting kobolds!”
“I know. But the kobold warrior is a unique monster. I don’t want to see you get hurt. So, leave it to me.”
“Hmm…”
Noah frowned slightly, but nodded.
“Okay. I’ll leave it to you, Rent. But please defeat it quickly!”
“Leave it to me, Noah.”
“Go, go, Rent!”
“Yeah, Elsie.”
With their support, I walked towards the kobold warrior.
*Kroaaaaaaaar!*
The kobold warrior, which had been on alert since we appeared, roared and charged at me as I walked towards it.
The kobold warrior, with its double-edged axe held far back, swung its arm forward as it closed the distance, trying to attack me with the axe.
“Hup!”
*Thwack!*
Of course, I could see its movements, so I punched it in the face with more force than when I hit the kobolds, before it could swing its axe.
But perhaps I used too much force.
Its head spun around and was torn off, going beyond just twisting its neck.
It was very gory.
Wouldn’t this sight be bad for Elsie and Noah’s mental health?
No, sticking a hand into a chest is already quite something, but a head flying off is even more so.
“Ah, sorry. Elsie, Noah. It’s pretty gro…!?”
As I apologized to Elsie and Noah and turned around, I witnessed an astonishing scene.
A blue light enveloped Elsie and Noah’s bodies.
It was similar to the aura that appears when equipping a paid item in a game.
“Elsie, Noah!?”
What on earth was happening?
“It’s here! This is it!”
“It really happened! It’s promotion!”
Elsie and Noah cried out in joy.
Fortunately, the phenomenon of light emanating from their bodies was a promotion, not something serious.
“I-Is that… promotion?”
“Yeah! It’s just like I heard! I feel an incredible amount of energy surging through my body!”
“This is how it feels to experience promotion… My, my heart is pounding!”
“I-Is it… okay?”
“Hehehe, don’t worry, Rent! I feel more energetic than ever!”
“You don’t have to worry, Rent. I heard that the light from this promotion will disappear after a while… Ah!”
“Oh!”
Suddenly, Elsie and Noah’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Why, what’s wrong, Elsie, Noah?”
“I… I received an inspiration!”
“Me too!”
“Really?!”
Inspiration is the phenomenon of acquiring a new skill.
In other words, Elsie and Noah had leveled up and gained new skills.
The promotion phenomenon was surprising, but I never expected Elsie and Noah to gain skills at the same time.
Either way, it was a joyous occasion for our party.
The light surrounding Elsie and Noah gradually faded and disappeared.
“Ah, it’s over…”
“The pounding has also disappeared. But…”
“Yeah, I can definitely feel that I’ve become stronger.”
Noah turned to me and grinned.
“Rent~!!!”
Suddenly, Noah ran towards me, stretched out her body, and jumped.
The distance between Noah and me was more than 3 meters.
But Noah’s jump closed the distance in an instant, and she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me.
“Thank you!! Rent, thanks to you, I was able to get promoted so quickly~!”
Noah rubbed her cheek against my face.
And Noah’s chest pressed firmly against my body.
Thank you!
I could feel that Noah’s physical abilities had clearly increased with her promotion.
Normally, Noah wouldn’t have been able to jump that distance to where I was.
“N-Noah!”
Elsie called out Noah’s name and ran over.
Elsie’s running speed was also much faster than before.
“Th-That’s… You, you shouldn’t be so close!”
“Why~? This isn’t just playing around, it’s a sign of gratitude~. Elsie, let’s hug Rent and thank him too~!”
Noah rubbed her cheek even faster.
Noah went even further and wrapped her tail around my arm.
“I, I…! Th-That…!”
Elsie waved her hands around in the air, then closed her eyes tightly and held my hand with both of hers.
“Th-Thank you, Rent!”
Elsie hesitated, then grabbed my hand shyly.
It was very cute.
“It’s okay, we’re a party. More importantly, congratulations on your promotion, Elsie and Noah. And for getting inspirations.”
“Yes!”
“It’s all thanks to Rent! I’ll give you a kiss too!”
“N-Noah! Even so, that’s too much! Please get off!”
As Noah tried to kiss my cheek, Elsie let go of my hand and pulled on Noah’s leg.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch! Elsie! Ouch! Ouch! You’ve gotten stronger! Ouch!”
“Hurry~ Get off!”
“Okay! Okay, I will!”
It seems that Elsie’s grip after her promotion had become so strong that even Noah, who had also been promoted, was in pain.
Could it be that Elsie has the talent of a power healer?
Elsie, clenching her fists and defeating monsters like me…
I can’t quite imagine it, but I think Elsie swinging her fist with a “Hiyah!” would be cute.
She’s getting stronger…
Could it be that the pressure of Noah’s pussy squeezing her dick will also increase?
I’m very curious!
Noah released her arms from my neck.
“Puh!”
And then she slammed her face into the ground.
“Ah! I-I’m sorry, Noah! Are you okay?!”
Elsie hurriedly let go of Noah’s leg and worried about her.
Noah, still lying face down, raised her right arm and said.
“I-I’m okay…”
Noah immediately got up and brushed the dirt off her face.
“Wow~ I didn’t know Elsie would get this strong even though we got promoted. Ah, did you get a bruise on your leg?”
Noah tapped the leg that Elsie had grabbed with her hand.
“Yeah! It doesn’t hurt, so I think I’m okay.”
“I’m sorry, Noah…”
“It’s okay~.”
“But the kiss was too much. You shouldn’t do that again.”
“Ah, yeah… I’ll be careful.”
Perhaps remembering the pain of being grabbed by the leg, Noah’s tail was wrapped around the leg that had been grabbed, as Elsie warned her.
“Elsie, Noah. Shall we go back then?”
Elsie and Noah’s promotion was successfully completed.
The backpack was so full of kobold swords and magic stones that it couldn’t hold anything more.
We had to empty the backpack to collect more magic stones.
“Yeah! Let’s do that.”
“Yes.”
This time, Elsie and Noah agreed with me.
“Before that, Rent. Let’s collect the kobold warrior’s weapon and magic stone.”
“Ah, that’s right.”
I almost forgot.
I quickly took out the kobold warrior’s magic stone and picked up the double-edged axe.
The kobold warrior’s magic stone was gray mixed with red.
Since my bag was full, I held the double-edged axe and the magic stone in each hand.
“Ah, on the way back, tell me what skills you got, Elsie and Noah.”
“Okay! Hehe, the skill I got is useful!”
“I also got a skill that will help in battle! I can help Rent and Noah with this!”
“Oh, really! Then tell me first, Elsie!”
“Yes! The skill I got is…”
