Chapter 41 – Episode 41 – New Equipment (1)
“Mr. Kelvan?”
“Lant, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“A favor?”
What kind of favor could it be?
Could it be a request to procure monster corpses directly from the dungeon?
“You have a promise with Leni, so you’ll bring the magic stones to the guild if you catch a unique monster, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then, I’d like to ask if you could bring the whole corpse without taking out the magic stone when you catch a unique monster?”
“Mr. Kelvan!”
Leni shouted at Mr. Kelvan from behind me.
“I just told you, how dangerous that is in the dungeon! Even if Lant is skilled…”
“Leni, I know that too. The conversation isn’t over yet.”
Mr. Kelvan held out a pouch at his waist in front of me.
“If you grant my request, I’ll give you this.”
“This is… what is it?”
It looked like an ordinary pouch.
The only difference was that there was a star-shaped pattern in the center.
“Ah, you said you haven’t been in Puldann for long, right? This is called an inventory.”
“Inventory?!”
“Th-that! Are you talking about a magic pouch!?”
Elsie and Noah, on either side of me, widened their eyes in surprise.
If it’s an inventory, is it what I think it is? A storage from a game…
Could it be a space storage pouch?
“Elsie, what’s an inventory?”
“I-inventories are very rare pouches with space magic imbued in them. They may look small on the outside, but they can store about the size of a house inside.”
“That young lady is right. Moreover, I specially made this with an acquaintance, so it has five times the storage space of other inventories.”
“F-five times!?”
If it has the space of five houses, it’s definitely huge.
But I didn’t quite understand.
Even I, who doesn’t know the ways of this city well, can tell that this is very important.
But is the procurement of unique monsters so important that it warrants giving this as a reward?
“Excuse me, Mr. Kelvan, may I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
“Why are you asking me?”
“Because I have faith in you after seeing your performance yesterday. That’s why I helped you get promoted to C-rank. I value you quite highly for prioritizing trust over money.
Of course, it’s also because of your seemingly bottomless skill, as you easily caught the Rage Fang.
If you grant my request, I believe you’ll bring the corpse without taking out the magic stone as I wish. And with that pouch, you can store the corpse in a fresh state right after killing it.”
He meant that he would give me this inventory as a reward, so I could use it to bring the corpses.
That didn’t really matter.
If it has the space of five houses, a single unique monster would be nothing.
“Thank you for your high evaluation. Then, I’ll ask one more thing. Why are you making this request?”
“Hmm, that’s because… I really like dissecting monsters.”
Mr. Kelvan grinned.
“You see… I’m a bit different from other dwarves. Of course, I don’t dislike being a blacksmith… but I really, really love dissecting monsters!
Every time I cut through the flesh, I feel a thrill as I divide and separate the different structures of these beings that are different from the creatures blessed by our Soli!
Especially unique monsters, they have stronger and more unique structures and characteristics than other monsters! I find it so exciting and thrilling to investigate them!”
Mr. Kelvan stretched his hands high into the air.
His expression was completely HIGH!
“Especially! Especially! Especially! When I see the beautiful form of the magic stone that appears when I split open the chest of a dungeon monster with my own eyes, it’s truly fantastic!
If it’s a unique magic stone with mixed colors, characteristic of a unique monster… ahhh, just thinking about it makes my erection unstoppable!”
Did you just say ‘erection’ in front of so many people?
“Yesterday was truly fantastic! The Rage Fang you brought… ah! There was no magic stone, but it was the best! The monsters that other adventurers bring in for material procurement requests are all too damaged, so it’s more like disposal than dissection…
With the Rage Fang you brought, I was able to enjoy a proper dissection for the first time in a while! Thank you, Lant!”
“Ah, yes…”
Mr. Kelvan’s eyes were bloodshot with excitement, to the point where I was worried if he had ejaculated during the dissection.
“So, I want to make this request to you, who gave me the best experience! And to you, who has a connection with unique monsters, as you met one today! Please, won’t you accept it!”
Mr. Kelvan was flaring his nostrils and puffing out his breath as he waited for my answer.
“Wow…”
“M-Mr. Kelvan was this kind of person…”
“Haa…”
Elsie and Noah were disgusted by Mr. Kelvan on either side of me.
I could hear Leni sighing from behind.
It seems Leni knew about Mr. Kelvan’s… proclivities.
Mr. Kelvan, who has a different kind of proclivity than other people.
But it’s not a proclivity that harms people.
Rather, thanks to Mr. Kelvan’s proclivity, adventurers can get better quality tools and weapons by using better quality materials, right?
If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be bad to contribute to Mr. Kelvan’s proclivity, who always works hard for adventurers.
And above all, although our tastes are different, I feel a strange sense of camaraderie with Mr. Kelvan, as we both have thoughts that we can’t easily tell others.
“Mr. Kelvan, I’ll accept that request.”
“Lant?!”
“Lant?!”
“Mr. Lant?!”
“Ooooo! Really, Lant!”
“Yes. Mr. Kelvan also recommended me for C-rank… and in the end, if you dissect the unique monster’s materials, the Adventurer’s Guild sells them, right? To weapon shops, armor shops, or tool shops.”
“That’s right.”
“Then, in the end, my actions will also help other adventurers, so I don’t feel bad about it. Besides, helping the Adventurer’s Guild also helps Leni.”
“Mr. Lant…”
“Ooo, Lant…!!!”
Mr. Kelvan grabbed my hand, tears streaming down his beard.
“Thank you so much! But are you really okay with it? Even I think my words just now were a bit off-putting.”
So he was aware of it.
I knelt on one knee and tried to make eye contact with Mr. Kelvan.
“Everyone has different proclivities. And Mr. Kelvan’s proclivity doesn’t bother other people, and rather, it helps you improve your dissection skills and provide better quality monster materials, which I think ultimately has a good impact on us adventurers.
I don’t think Mr. Kelvan’s proclivity is wrong or bad.
Ah, but please refrain from saying ‘erection’ in front of people.”
Erection! Dick! Vagina! Sex! I think those words should be said freely during actual sex or in fantasies.
“Oooooooo! Lanttttttt!”
Mr. Kelvan hugged me, overwhelmed with emotion.
I realized that even when wet with tears, a dwarf’s beard is surprisingly fluffy.
“You are truly a righteous and kind human!”
“Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Kelvan.”
No matter how many compliments I receive, they always feel good.
Okay, tonight’s handjob will feature Mr. Kelvan too.
The genre is a 3P sex with Leni, me, and Mr. Kelvan!
It’s a beautiful drama of friendship where we happily develop Leni while using a monster dick vibrator made by Mr. Kelvan, and we go *thump thump* together.
Of course, since it’s a fantasy that I enjoy more, I’ll add a scene where I compare Mr. Kelvan and the monster vibrator with my own dick and declare that mine is better.
Even in a drama of friendship, humans are sad creatures who want to feel superior.
Instead, if I see a female-type monster that looks similar to a human, I’ll always include Mr. Kelvan when I fantasize about that monster.
If it looks a lot like a human, then I’m a pro handjobber who can even do monster girls.

“Take care~.”
We left the Adventurer’s Guild, receiving a passionate and joyful send-off from Mr. Kelvan.
“Wow~ Lant, you have a really big heart.”
Noah said with a voice full of detachment and admiration.
“As a priest, I should learn from you. I’m ashamed of myself for being scared of Mr. Kelvan’s proclivity…”
Elsie lowered her head and reflected on herself.
“Really? More importantly, let’s go to the armor shop quickly. I’m kind of excited to see what Elsie and Noah will pick out for me.”
Let’s change the subject in times like this.
“Ah, yes! Leave it to us! We’ll pick something that suits Lant!”
“Me too~ I’ll pick out an awesome pair of gauntlets!”
“Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”
The armor shop was right near the dungeon entrance, so it didn’t take us even 10 minutes to arrive.
“Welcome.”
The shopkeeper greeted us at the armor shop.
“Lant, what kind of armor do you want?”
Elsie first asked what kind of armor I wanted.
If I were to go for something cool, I’d want to wear full plate heavy armor, but even if I wore stiff armor, it would have much less defense than my own body.
It wouldn’t matter if I wore it for looks, but heavy armor looks very annoying to change into.
Also, if I ran with force like I do in the dungeon, the joints would probably get crushed by my strength or the leg parts would fall off.
“I want to wear something that’s easy to move in.”
“Armor that’s easy to move in… something like leather armor would be good. Then… ah! How about this!”
Elsie pointed to a green leather armor displayed in the shop.
“The color matches Lant’s hair, so it’ll look good on you.”
I thought it looked good too.
“Yeah, I think it’s good too. But I think the size is a bit small for me?”
Then, the shopkeeper at the counter spoke up.
“Don’t worry about that. We have one that fits your build.”
“Then, I’ll take that one.”
“Uh, Lant… don’t you want to look around a bit more?”
“No, I like this armor. Besides, Elsie picked it out because she thought it would suit me, right? Then, I’m fine with this.”
“Lant… yes! That’s right! It’ll definitely look good on you!”
“What, you’ve already picked out your armor?”
Noah peeked out from behind and looked at the leather armor Elsie had picked out.
“Ooo~ the color looks like it’ll suit Lant.”
It seems Noah likes this leather armor too.
“Hehe, look at this. While Elsie was picking, I found some gauntlets for Lant!”
Noah pointed to the back.
There were large gauntlets that looked like they would fit my hands.
They were so big that they covered my hand and up to my forearm below the elbow.
“How is it? The size looks like it’ll fit, right?”
The size certainly seemed right.
But you never know until you try it on.
I learned that lesson in my previous life when I tried to buy a condom for a handjob and bought one that was either too loose or too tight.
So, let’s check the size first.
“Can I try this on?”
“Of course.”
After getting permission from the shopkeeper, I tried on the gauntlets.
They fit perfectly on my hands.
I clenched and opened my hands, and there was no discomfort.
“Ooo, it fits perfectly.”
“How is it? My eye for things is amazing, right?”
“Yeah, Noah. You’re amazing.”
“Hehehe.”
I tried on the other gauntlet and clenched and opened both hands.
There were no problems with either my left or right hand.
I showed my gauntlet-clad arm to Elsie and asked for her opinion.
“How is it, Elsie?”
“It looks good on you, Lant.”
“Sir, I’ve brought the armor that fits your size. Please try it on.”
Just in time, the shopkeeper brought the armor that fit my size.
“Okay.”
I took off the gauntlets and put them back where they were, took off my backpack, and then took the armor and went into the changing room.
The changing room was surprisingly spacious. It was a tight space that could fit about two people…
Let’s keep this in mind for an outdoor sex situation in a changing room.
I changed into the armor in the changing room and came out.
“How is it?”
I flexed my muscles and struck a pose.
“Ooo~ it looks good on you, Lant!”
“Yes! It’s very cool!”
“Hehehe, really?”
As expected, it feels really good to be praised by beautiful girls like Elsie and Noah.
I hope that one day, Elsie and Noah will both see my dick and say it’s amazing.
I kept the armor on, put my old clothes and the gauntlets in my backpack, and then bought the leather armor and gauntlets.
The shopkeeper gave me a gauntlet holder to tie to my backpack strap as a bonus.
The total price was 1 gold and 80 silver.
I was reminded once again that the equipment for adventurers, which is related to life, is expensive.
