Chapter 441 – 441 – Fanatic
“L-Lelia, what on earth happened?”
“Sniff… Hic! Haa… Well, you see…”
Lelia continued her story, sniffling.
The atmosphere was great, and the first impressions were good between Lelia and the knight from Bridan.
Could this be it? Could I finally be getting married!?
Lelia had such high hopes.
Ah, but if I were to get married, wouldn’t I need to get engaged first and enjoy some time dating?
No, is it okay to date after marriage? She even went as far as to have happy daydreams.
But then, during their conversation, the knight asked her this:
“Lady Lelia, you are the famous commander of the 13th Knight Order, correct?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The achievements of the 13th Knight Order are well-known even among the knights of Bridan. The subjugation of Behemoth two years ago is still a hot topic.”
“I-I’m embarrassed.”
“If you don’t mind, could you show me your skills in a spar?”
“Huh?”
Bridan’s basic culture favors the strong.
That’s why the knight was very curious about Lelia’s skills as a warrior.
She wanted to show only her feminine side and be done with it, but if she refused here, the matchmaking might fall apart.
Then marriage would be pushed even further away. That can’t happen! These thoughts clashed, and the latter won decisively!
In the end, Lelia and the knight ended up sparring.
Here, Lelia hesitated.
To be honest, the knight’s skills were not up to par with hers.
So, should she just show off her skills in a friendly way?
But Bridan has a subtle obsession with strength.
If she didn’t give it her all against a knight from Bridan, it might actually decrease his favorability!
She absolutely had to prevent that!
With that thought, Lelia went all out and overwhelmed the knight.
Yes… she had won too overwhelmingly.
After the match, the knight said…
“Someone as strong as Lady Lelia is not a match for someone as weak as me!”
And he very politely rejected the matchmaking.
The slight hint of favor he had shown before the spar was gone, and all that remained was respect for the strong.
“Ooh…”
Hearing that, everyone… not just us, but everyone in the Adventurer’s Guild sighed.
“What! ‘Someone as weak as me is not a match!’ That doesn’t matter! Why! Why does the way they look at me as a woman disappear right away! Ughhh! More than that, what’s with not being a match because I’m weaker than you! How many men are stronger than me!
Where is a man who is stronger than me, kind, and gentle, and fits my ideal type! If you know, please tell me! With that kind of thinking… with that kind of thinking… I’ll be single forever! Ughhh, my lifeeee!!!”
It was so pitiful.
“T-That person was wrong. Lelia, you showed him your all because he asked you to, and he said that.”
“Sniff… N-Ninya, do you really think so?”
“Of course. Right, Noah?”
“Huh? Oh, y-yes! That’s right! He was wrong! If Lelia is strong, he should think she’s cool, but instead, he ran away with his tail between his legs, right? That kind of man wasn’t right for Lelia!”
“That’s right, that’s right, if you married someone like that, Lelia would have had a hard time, so it’s better this way.”
“Is that so…? Is that really it?”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
“Sniff… Hic! Ninya… Noah… Thank you so much… Ughhh! I’m trashhhh!!!”
“Ehh… Why again…”
“Sniff! To be honest, I was jealous of you two being so lovey-dovey. Ah, why do I have to look at happiness that I don’t have… Both of you… no, not just you two, but Elsie, Tikia, and Rent, none of you did anything wrong, but I… I… Ughhh!!!”
“It’s okay, it’s okay! It’s okay to be jealous!”
“That’s right, come on, stop crying and drink! I’ll keep you company until dawn today!”
Ninya snatched a glass from a waitress who had brought it beforehand and handed it to Lelia.
“Sniff… Thank you… Glug glug glug glug!”
Lelia started drinking again as if she were gulping down water in a dry desert.
“Heh, hehehe…”
Lelia’s expression became loose as she drank.
“Today is a good day! Because it’s the day I met people like you! Alright! Let’s drink until we die today!!”
“Let’s drink! Let’s drink!”
“Today is a party!”
Lelia, Noah, and Ninya raised their glasses as if they were in agreement.
“U-Um… Rent. I-Is it going to be okay?”
“It looks a bit unstable to me too…”
Elsie and Tikia, who were on either side of me, were watching the three of them with great concern.
“Well… I don’t think anything too bad will happen.”
Let’s believe that.
◈
Who said that faith is a word that can easily be broken?
At least, I realized that we shouldn’t have any easy, vain faith.
Noah, Ninya, and Lelia were drinking happily together.
The atmosphere was good at first.
But as time went on, the fluctuations in Lelia’s emotions became more severe.
“I’m 32 this year… At this age, I might not be able to get married anymore. In fact, the High Priest might think that I should stop going to matchmaking and just work…”
“N-No way… That can’t be true.”
She even suspected that the High Priest might not think well of her.
“You know, I read something like this in a book before. A woman with good tongue skills is super popular with men! And the most representative proof of great tongue skills was tying a cherry stem into a knot with your tongue… Here’s a cherry!”
“Yes~.”
After taking the stem off the cherry that the waitress brought, Lelia put it in her mouth and mumbled, and soon, when she stuck out her tongue, a cherry stem with a neat knot appeared.
“Wow!”
“That’s neat.”
“Hehehe, that’s not all!”
Lelia, who suddenly felt better, put the cherry knot back in her mouth, and after a while, she stuck out her tongue again, this time completely untying the knot.
I was genuinely impressed by that.
“Hahahaha! It took me at least a month to learn this! If I get a man with this, I’ll completely capture his heart with my kissing technique!… That was my intention. But you know~ if there’s no one to begin with, it’s all u~~~seless. Ha, ha… Ughhh!!!”
She boasted and then burst into tears again.
“Did you know that if you get promoted a lot, you actually get younger?”
“Oh, really?”
“I’ve heard that aging slows down, but that’s the first time I’ve heard that.”
“Actually, after I got promoted to a certain extent, I heard at my regular checkup that my skin was much younger and better than before. Wow~ I was young and good back then~ I was still 25~. I thought, ‘Am I going to hear that I look like a young lady in the future?’
…The reality is that only a lonely old maid with a young face remains. Ha, ha, ha…”
Most of the time, her tension would rise and then plummet.
Besides that, she said that she never missed her beauty routine even during her training days and still does, but she doesn’t have a partner.
She felt despair when a subordinate who didn’t know when she would get married got married before her.
Very awkward stories kept coming out.
Lelia’s stories continued even through dinner.
“Ninya, what should we do? I can’t listen anymore, I feel so bad for her.”
“We need… a change of topic…”
“Ughhh! My lifeeee!!!”
Even though they had been drinking with her, Noah and Ninya were seriously trying to come up with a solution in small voices.
“…I need to use a slightly more stimulating method.”
Ninya’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
“Hey, Lelia~♪”
“Sniff sniff! Y-Yes… Ninya… Sniff!”
“Lelia, you’re so pretty and charming, you’ll find a man soon~.”
“But… but…”
“So, to help with your future happy life with your husband~ would you like to hear our stories?”
“That’s right, that’s right, for example, how Ninya and I live with Rent!”
“Sniff! How you and Rent live? That… that’s just… salt…”
“No, no, it’s not salt, it’s just passing on reference knowledge♪”
“Just listen and decide~.”
Then, Ninya and Noah brought their faces close to Lelia’s ear and started whispering.
“Ugh!?”
And after hearing some of the content, Lelia’s face, which was already red from drinking, turned bright red.
“N-Ninya… Noah… T-That kind of content…”
“Listen to the end~♪”
“This is also for reference♪”
“U-Ugh…”
The more she listened, the more Lelia’s head drooped down.
But Ninya and Noah didn’t miss that and kept whispering in Lelia’s ear.
“What on earth are Noah and Ninya saying that’s making Lelia like that?”
“This is just my guess, but aren’t they talking about something lewd?”
“L-Lewd!?”
Tikia’s guess was right on the mark.
Even though they were whispering, I could hear what Ninya and Noah were saying to Lelia because I was concentrating.
There were many kinds of content, but to put it broadly…
They were explaining in great detail about what it was like when I had sex with them.
What the texture and feeling were like when I entered.
What the difference was after my mark was engraved on their vulvas.
The difference in taste between fresh, immediately swallowed semen and semen that was released into their vaginas.
The tingling sensation in their heads when I shook them roughly.
Ninya and Noah were whispering stories to Lelia that were so explicit that I could get an instant erection just by listening.
To explain Lelia’s current situation, the lewd cat Noah and the lewd incubus Ninya were giving her a sexy and seductive ASMR-like experience, whispering lewd stories in her ear.
At first, it was just like an explanation, but as it continued, they got more and more heated, and the lewdness in their voices went up!
In the latter half, they were even letting out soft moans as they recalled their lovey-dovey time with me in the past.
“So… haah♡”
“Sex with Rent is… ugh♡”
“It was the best♡”
“A-A-Aaaah…”
Thud.
Lelia’s head couldn’t keep up with the lewd content she had never experienced, and she hit her head on the table and passed out.
It seems that even Lelia, who had great skills, couldn’t handle the combination of excessive drinking and stimulating stories.
“Oh my, she passed out.”
“Hehehe, did we go too far? Well, still… it’s better than listening to depressing stories all the time.”
Tikia crossed her arms and said to Noah.
“I think it was too much. I heard some of the content, and wasn’t it too stimulating?”
“U-Um, ugh, was it okay to tell Lelia that?”
Elsie looked a little uneasy and looked at Lelia.
“Well, it’ll be fine. She was so drunk, she won’t remember! Hahahaha!”
“Noah, Lelia is the type of person who remembers everything when she’s drunk.”
“Oh, really? Hmm~ well, it doesn’t really matter, does it?”
“That’s right♡ Because the story of loving Rent isn’t embarrassing at all♡”
After that, we couldn’t just leave the sleeping Lelia, so we took her to the Holy Knight Order’s dormitory.
Fortunately, there were Holy Knights in the dormitory who were Lelia’s subordinates, although they were different from the people we had seen before.
“Wow, Commander, you drank until you were wasted again.”
“Thank you for bringing her.”
And then we immediately booked a room at the inn…
“Rent…♡ I got so hot after hearing those lewd stories♡ Hehe♡ Today… lift me up and do it♡”
“Hehehe, Rent♡ Fill my womb with… Rent’s strong liquor… and let me drink it all up♡”
“I… didn’t spar today… so I’ll have a night spar with Rent instead♡”
“Y-Y-Y-You, Hero♡ Do you like lewd saintesses?”
We each booked a room and spent a happy night using our clones.
◈
The next day.
“I’m so sorryyyyyy!!!”
When we went to the dormitory to pick up Lelia, who we were planning to leave early with, she was prostrating herself and apologizing.
