Chapter 52 – My Hero
◈-Rent SIDE
“Haaah.”
I yawned, feeling refreshed as I woke up this morning!
Yesterday was truly a wonderful night.
Noah’s revenge plot to finally win this time.
But that revenge plot only ended in a pathetic defeat.
In other words, I was at it again, pounding away until Noah passed out.
This time, like the first night, we started with a face-to-face position and lovey-dovey kisses.
On top of that, when I started tugging on her tail, Noah passed out in just an hour.
I was very disappointed that I hadn’t even used the newly discovered method of tapping the top of her tail, and even more disappointed that I hadn’t experimented with her reaction when I nibbled on her ear while she was conscious.
Noah, slumped over in a faint.
But for those who haven’t finished their revenge, only a merciless end awaits.
Just like yesterday, I made Noah lie face down on the bed and continued to stroke her tail before launching into a storm of piston action!
Has she gotten used to this position in just one day?
Noah’s pussy, which was passed out, felt even stickier against my dick than yesterday, and the elasticity of her pussy was even more pronounced.
It felt so good!
After enjoying myself enough…
No, it wasn’t nearly enough to satisfy my desires, but I pulled my dick out at a reasonable point, cleaned up, dressed Noah, and sent her back to her room while she was still passed out.
Of course, the bed sheets were soaked, so she couldn’t lie down like that.
I wrapped myself in a blanket and squatted on the floor to sleep.
Next time, I should ask Tina for some spare bed sheets.
This morning, I offered a prayer of thanks to Solisin, along with some lewd fantasies of Solisin.
Specifically, I imagined her lying down, with her legs spread, and me grabbing her legs with both hands and going at it with a storm of piston action!
It’s a position where I can feel the softness of her buttocks, thighs, and entire legs with my torso.
I calmed my morning erection with a super-fast fantasy wank and used my suppression technique.
Then, as usual, I went downstairs to the first floor and greeted Tina, who was diligently cleaning as always.
“Tina, good morning.”
“Ah, Rent! Good morning!”
Tina, wagging her tail gently, was cute as always.
Tina gripped the mop she was using to clean the floor and said,
“Re, Rent… To, today, I want to give you a special massage…”
“Rent~.”
Just then, Noah called out to me as she came down the stairs.
“Uuuu…”
Tina’s words were cut short, and she puffed out her cheeks, glaring at Noah.
It was a little… no, very cute.
“What’s wrong, Noah?”
“Haven’t you seen Elsie? She wasn’t in her room…”
“No? I don’t see Elsie on the first floor either?”
“Really? Where did she go? Tina, have you seen Elsie?”
Tina turned her face back to normal and tilted her head.
“Elsie? No, I haven’t seen her this morning. Ah, but… I did see her go out last night.”
“Last night? Why did Elsie go out last night?”
“I don’t know? She didn’t look too good when she came down the stairs, so I asked her. She said she was going for a night walk.”
“A night walk? That’s strange… Elsie doesn’t really have that kind of hobby…”
A night walk.
What a wonderful phrase.
When I think of a night walk, I think of that famous manga situation!
The secret walk of a master and a bitch, with a leash, dog ears and tail, walking on all fours naked!
And then, naturally, a storm of outdoor sex!
I think that’s great.
Anyway, when did Elsie go for a walk?
“Hey, Tina. About when did you see Elsie?”
“About when? Maybe…”
Tina glanced at Noah and then said,
“It was about the time I was supposed to go massage Rent…”
“Oh…”
The moment she heard that, Noah froze stiff and cold sweat poured down her face.
“What’s wrong, Noah? Do you have any idea what’s going on?”
Noah quickly approached me and said in a small voice,
“Re, Rent… Don’t you remember yesterday?”
“Yesterday?”
“I, I went into Rent’s room and kissed you… and then asked you to take my clothes off.”
“You did.”
“After taking off my top… you noticed the door was slightly open, right?”
“Yeah, but I closed it right away, didn’t I?”
“Maybe… Elsie saw us through the crack in the door? That was when Tina was supposed to come for the massage, and I came instead.”
“Ah…”
Only then did I realize the seriousness of the situation.
If Elsie had seen that scene…
Me and Noah suddenly kissing, and then taking off clothes…
Anyone could tell that we were about to do it.
I’m not being arrogant, but I’m not a completely insensitive guy.
I can tell that Elsie has feelings for me.
A scene of someone you’ve only known for a short time, who has feelings for you, about to have sex with your friend…
It’s practically a scene from an NTR manga or AV.
No, even if you’re not dating, if someone you like is with someone else, it can be considered NTR in a broad sense.
Considering Elsie’s personality… it’s not surprising that she ran out at night.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, what should I do!
“Wh, wh, what should we do, Rent! I was going to slowly provoke Elsie and draw her in after I won the match with Tina…”
It seems Noah had her own plan.
I want to hear the details of that plan, but now is not the time.
“C, c, calm down, Noah. First, we need to find Elsie.”
“R, right!? H, how do we find her? Sh, should we go to the temple?”
“Um… Rent.”
“Y, yes, Tina, what’s wrong?”
“You’re trying to find Elsie, right?”
“Yes! Tina, do you have any idea where she might be?”
“No. But… then why don’t you use the magic tool on Rent’s wrist?
I heard from another adventurer at lunch yesterday that that magic tool tells you the location of your party members, right?”
““Ah!!””
I forgot I had this magic tool.
“Thank you, Tina!”
Noah hugged Tina tightly.
“Ugh, let go.”
Tina pushed Noah’s face away and said,
“More importantly, let’s find out where Elsie is.”
“Okay!”
Once the direction appears on the magic tool, let’s quickly run to where Elsie is.
First, we need to explain the situation when we meet her.
No, I don’t think I can explain it with any confidence, but let’s leave the explanation to Noah.
What’s important now is to know the direction Elsie is in.
I called out Elsie’s name to the magic tool.
“Elsie.”
The magic tool activated, and numbers and an arrow appeared simultaneously on the bead.
“Huh…?”
I couldn’t understand the numbers and direction on the magic tool.
Why…
“Rent! Where is Elsie? Let’s go find her quickly!”
“Noah…”
“Yeah! Let’s go find Elsie quickly…”
“She’s on the 13th floor.”
“What?”
“Elsie is on the 13th floor right now.”
The bead showed the number 13 and pointed diagonally downwards.
Noah was shocked by my words.
“What!? What are you talking about! The 13th floor, there’s no way Elsie could go to a place like that…”
Noah’s face turned pale.
I knew the reason why.
Elsie has only reached the 3rd floor with us.
It’s impossible for Elsie to reach the 13th floor in one night.
If there’s a possibility of that happening…
“The newbie killer…”
There’s only the criminal who’s causing a stir in the Adventurer’s Guild right now.
“Rent! What should we do! Elsie… Elsie!”
Noah grabbed my arm urgently with a pale face.
My heart was pounding.
I was as surprised and chilled as Noah by Elsie’s sudden crisis.
But we can’t just stand here and do nothing.
We have to act, believing in even the slightest chance of saving Elsie.
I fully rotated the thinking power I use when having lewd fantasies.
I need to find a solution.
I need to piece together all the knowledge I gained yesterday.
What should I do now?
What is the best way to save Elsie?
The most orthodox way is to ask for help from the Adventurer’s Guild.
Reny would immediately help to solve the case.
But it’s unknown how long it will take to gather the rescue team and how long the rescue will take.
The biggest problem is that even if the rescue team can go to the 13th floor, Noah and I, who know Elsie’s location, can’t go to the 13th floor with them.
Moreover, the bodies found in the past were inconsistent with the time of death and the distance of the location where they were found.
That means the newbie killer committed the crime far away from the warp device.
Then it would be even more difficult for the rescue team, who don’t know the direction Elsie is in, to find Elsie quickly.
There might be a function to share the direction they’re searching in.
But if there was, Reny would have explained it in advance.
No, even if there was, it’s a waste of time to check it.
What we need most now is to go to where Elsie is as quickly as possible, while knowing the direction she’s in.
The only person who can do that is…
I looked at my fist.
I’ve never been so glad that I chose this ability over hypnosis.
“Noah.”
“Rent! Elsie…!”
“Let’s go to the dungeon.”
“Huh?”
“Let’s go to the dungeon right now. We’re going to save Elsie.”
“B, but we’re only on the 3rd floor.”
“Noah.”
There’s no time for long explanations.
Every second counts.
I grabbed Noah’s shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes.
“Trust me.”
“…Okay.”
Noah stopped crying and nodded.
“I’ll trust Rent.”
“Thank you, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
“Huh? Rent? Noah? You’re going to the dungeon! You should go to the Adventurer’s Guild…”
“Tina, I’ll leave that to you!”
“Huh?!”
“Noah, we need to hurry, so excuse me!”
“Go ahead!”
I quickly picked up Noah and left the Fox’s Rest.
“Rent?!”
I could hear Tina’s flustered voice from behind.
But the most important thing now is to rescue Elsie.
I kicked off the ground hard.
Bang!
“Whoa!”
“What was that!?”
“Fast!?”
The people around me were surprised by my sudden speed.
Fortunately, it was still early in the morning, so there weren’t many people on the way to the dungeon, and I was able to go straight to the dungeon entrance.
At the dungeon entrance, adventurers were lined up as usual, waiting for their turn at the warp device.
Bang!
I cut through the line.
“Huh?!”
“Who is that!?”
“A monster?!”
“Hey, cutting in line is against the rules!”
I’m sorry, but this is an emergency.
I apologized to the person who was about to use the warp device after arriving at the warp device.
“I’m sorry!”
“Huh? You’re the one from a few days ago…”
The person who was about to use the warp device was Jen, the senior adventurer I first talked to when I came to Pludan.
I put my hand on the warp device with Noah and said urgently,
“Jen, I’m sorry! My companion is in danger!”
Jen looked at my face and grinned.
“…Go.”
“Thank you! Noah!”
“Okay!”
““3rd floor!””
The scenery changed in an instant, and we arrived at the 3rd floor.
“Noah, tell me Elsie’s location!”
“Okay! Elsie!”
Noah said Elsie’s name to the magic tool and pointed in the direction that appeared on the bead.
“That way!”
“Got it!”
I broke away from the barrier and kicked off the ground.
Bang!
“Noah! Tell me if the arrow is pointing down!”
“Okay!”
I kicked off the ground.
Bang!
I kicked off the ground.
Bang!
I put more power into my kick.
Bang!
If there was a tree blocking my path, I broke it with a punch.
Crack!
I put more power into it to save Elsie as soon as possible.
Bang!
“Rent! Stop!”
I put my feet forward and braked suddenly.
Crash!
Dust flew up, and the surrounding trees broke from the impact.
“Noah! How far have we come!”
“It’s a little off, run back a little!”
“Okay!”
I kicked off the ground without going too fast.
“Here!”
I stopped where Noah told me to.
“This is it, Noah.”
“Yeah, this is it! The arrow is pointing straight down! But Rent… what are you going to do now? Do you have any plan?”
“Yeah. It’s the fastest way to get to Elsie. Noah, can you trust me?”
Noah answered immediately after I asked.
“Of course! I already told you! What’s the point of not trusting Rent now! If it’s Rent… Rent can save Elsie, just like you saved us the first time!”
“Yeah, I’m definitely going to save Elsie!”
“Then don’t ask useless questions and let’s go save Elsie!”
“Okay! Noah, I’m sorry!”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly apologizing…”
I threw Noah straight up into the sky.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
This way, Noah won’t be caught in the aftermath.
As soon as I threw Noah, I twisted my body.
I clenched my right fist and gathered strength.
I didn’t know the limit of my gripping power until now.
No matter how hard I clenched my fist, it didn’t tremble, and I could gather strength endlessly.
I gathered strength.
“A little more…”
I gathered strength.
“A little more…”
I gathered strength.
“A little more!”
My fist, which didn’t know the limit no matter how much strength I gathered, trembled slightly.
I let out a loud shout, like when I saved Elsie and Noah,
I rotated my twisted body and swung my fist towards the ground.
“Uryaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!”
Crashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
The moment my fist hit the ground, the ground around me collapsed with a roar.
My body is falling down.
I could see traces of something like a barrier that looked like a magic circle breaking below.
The debris of the ground that was falling with me disappeared like dust as soon as it passed the traces.
But the moment I passed the traces, a new landscape unfolded before my eyes.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?”
I heard Noah’s shocked voice from above.
The distance between the ground where the new landscape was unfolding and me falling was quite far.
Then, all I have to do now is prepare to gather strength again as I fall.
I stretched out my arm and gathered strength in my fist, preparing to unleash it as soon as I reached the ground.
Wait for me, Elsie!
I’m definitely going to save you!
