Chapter 109 – Shopping
◈
When I stopped by the Adventurer’s Guild to hand over the kobold swords, Mr. Kelvan happened to be entering the guild.
“Oh, Rent!”
I turned around and greeted Mr. Kelvan.
“Hello, Mr. Kelvan.”
“Are you on your way back from the dungeon?”
“Yes.”
I looked at Ms. Ninya, who was with us, and spoke.
“Hmm, isn’t that Ninya of the Lightning Spear standing there? Could it be that you’ve become party members, Rent?”
“Yes. As of today, Ms. Ninya is also part of our party.”
“Haha, that’s great. If it’s Ninya of the Lightning Spear, she’ll be able to give you a lot of advice since you don’t know much about the dungeon yet.”
“Oh my, Mr. Kelvan, you know her well?”
“Rent, could you lend me your ear for a moment?”
“Yes, Mr. Kelvan.”
I knelt down and leaned towards Mr. Kelvan.
Mr. Kelvan whispered softly in my ear.
“Her skills are certainly solid, but be careful. Especially since you’re the only man… you need to be mindful of relationships between men and women. I don’t know who you have your eye on, though.”
I already have three lovers, so there’s no need to worry about that.
“Yes, I’ll be careful.”
“Anyway… did you… catch any new unique monsters?”
I stood up and said,
“No. Today, we spent time getting to know each other while hunting kobolds on the third floor.”
“Hmm, I see. Then, are you thinking of going to the fourth floor tomorrow?”
“I think it’ll be okay. What do you think, Ms. Ninya?”
Ms. Ninya and I are not worried. But even if Elsie is in the rear, I don’t know if Noah can handle the orcs on the fourth floor well.
Ms. Ninya, who has reached the 13th floor herself, would be able to make a better judgment than I can.
“Noah is fine against orcs now. It won’t be as easy as with the kobolds, but she can definitely defeat them.”
At Ms. Ninya’s words, Noah smiled brightly.
“Really? Great! Then let’s go to the fourth floor tomorrow!”
“Ah, um… could we take a break tomorrow?”
Elsie asked for a rest.
“Huh? Why, Elsie?”
“Well… isn’t it about time Noah and I washed our clothes?”
“Ah…”
Noah looked at her own clothes and Elsie’s clothes.
I see them every day, so I didn’t notice, but Elsie’s clothes and Noah’s clothes had quite a few stains and dirt on them compared to when I first saw them.
“That’s right. Hmm, but I also want to go to the fourth floor quickly…”
I was wearing leather armor, and since blood didn’t splatter when I defeated monsters, it didn’t get very dirty.
But the casual clothes that Mom gave me, about ten sets to change into when sleeping, were also running out.
It was about time I washed my casual clothes too.
Then, Ms. Ninya shrugged and said,
“Then why don’t you just take off the clothes you need to wash and buy new ones? You have money, right?”
“Ah.”
“That’s right, we have money! It’s much less than Rent, but… we have 5 gold in spare funds. We can’t buy additional weapons, but we can buy the clothes we’re wearing now… “
“Come to think of it, the temple gives out my priestess robes for only 5 silver… That’s right… we could just buy clothes for backup.”
“Ever since Rent joined, it was hard for us to earn more than 20 silver a day… Hmm~ I think my sense of money is getting weird.”
I overheard a bit of Elsie and Noah’s sad past financial situation.
But that’s probably normal for an average adventurer.
“Hehe, then let’s go buy clothes together after dinner. How about buying not only backup clothes but also other casual clothes while we’re at it?”
“R-really? Is that okay?”
“Of course. We’ll be earning much more money than we are now. You shouldn’t hesitate too much over just buying clothes.”
“Yeah, yeah. Hehe, there’s a dress I’ve wanted to buy for a while. Great! I’ll buy it today!”
Noah seemed happy at the thought of buying new clothes, and Elsie still seemed to be hesitating.
“Elsie, Noah, Ms. Ninya. Let’s go back to the Fox’s Rest and eat first.”
We can talk about buying extra casual clothes while we eat.
“Yes, Rent.”
“Okay.”
“Okay, Rent.”
“Mr. Kelvan, we’ll be going now.”
“Alright, take care, Rent. Oh, and don’t forget that patience is needed when you’re dragged around by women shopping.”
Mr. Kelvan was giving me advice, anticipating my future as a pack mule.
But there’s no need for such worries.
Time will pass quickly if I have lewd fantasies while waiting.
Let’s think about the choreography for Solis’s staff pole dance while I’m waiting and doing my thing.
◈
“Welcome!”
We returned to the Fox’s Rest and sat down, greeted by Tina.
Even while waiting for our meal and while eating, Elsie, Noah, and Ninya were talking about what kind of clothes they would buy.
Elsie, who was hesitant at first, was now talking about the clothes she had wanted to buy for a while.
Talking about shopping reminded me of beds.
“Hey, while we’re at it, how about we buy a bed too?”
“Bed?”
All three of them turned their gaze to me.
I brought up the story about the empty room that Miranda had mentioned in the morning, which was supposed to be a massage room.
“So. I was thinking, since we’re changing rooms, how about we buy a big bed?”
Noah was the first to agree with my idea.
“That’s a great idea! Ah, they said there were rooms left on the fourth floor, right? Then why don’t we move to the fourth floor too?”
“I know a store that sells really good beds. I’ll guide you there after we buy clothes.”
“Thank you, Ms. Ninya.”
“A big bed… and… the three of us… ugh…”
Elsie’s face turned red, and she lowered her head.
Inferring from the words “the three of us,” she must have imagined the sex we would have when we bought a big bed and was embarrassed.
It seems like Elsie’s thoughts are gradually leaning towards the lewd side, which is very desirable.
After finishing our meal, I immediately got up from my seat.
“Then, I’ll go tell Miranda that we’ll be using the massage room.”
I went to the front of the kitchen and spoke to Miranda, who was cooking.
“Miranda.”
“What is it, Rent?”
“I’ve decided to use the massage room. I’m going to buy a bed to use in the massage room today.”
“Oh my, really! The massage room is still clean. You can use it right away. Then, I’ll prepare a table and a lamp before Rent brings the bed.”
“Yes, please.”
I returned to where everyone was and said,
“Let’s go.”
◈
First, we decided to stop by the temple.
Elsie’s priestess robes were not sold in the market but made at the temple.
“Please wait a moment.”
Elsie went inside the temple, and after waiting for a while, she came out wearing new priestess robes.
In her left hand, she held the robes she had taken off, and in her right hand, she held three priestess robes that she had bought for backup.
“Elsie. I’ll put those priestess robes in my inventory for now.”
“Yes, Rent. Please do.”
After putting Elsie’s priestess robes in my inventory, we went to buy Noah’s clothes.
In front of a clothing store that Noah had been using since she was young, Noah asked us to wait for a moment this time.
And after a few minutes.
“Rent, please take these too!”
“Okay.”
Noah came out wearing new clothes, the design was the same, and handed me two bags.
One was probably her old clothes, and the other was the clothes she bought for backup.
“Hehe, then shall we start our real shopping?”
After that, we went to the clothing store that Ms. Ninya had recommended.
After entering the store and listening to the female clerk’s brief store promotion, Elsie, Noah, and Ms. Ninya began to choose clothes.
They each chose clothes and went into the fitting rooms to try them on.
“Ta-da~ How is it? Doesn’t it look comfortable?”
Winking, Noah wore a simple design that I often saw in the village, a so-called “villager’s clothes!” It was quite refreshing for me, who had always seen Noah in her thief’s outfit.
It felt like a mischievous childhood friend.
…Actually, the girls my age in the village weren’t very close to me.
Childhood friend Noah and our secret play in the stable, a secret game that adults didn’t know about.
That kind of fantasy bloomed.
“Yeah, it suits you, Noah.”
“Hehehe.”
Next, Elsie changed.
“H-how is it?”
Elsie wore a white dress.
It wasn’t a design with a thigh slit like her priestess robes, so there was less exposure, but it perfectly matched Elsie’s pure image.
“Beautiful, Elsie.”
I imagined Elsie walking on the beach, wearing a dress and a straw hat.
A thrilling outdoor sex in the shade of a rock on the beach!
That kind of fantasy arose.
“T-thank you, Rent…”
Next, Ms. Ninya changed.
“How is it, Rent~ Sexy?”
Ms. Ninya wore the outfit that had shocked me when I first saw her at the Adventurer’s Guild.
Bikini armor.
“Ooh~ That’s daring?”
“I-isn’t that practically underwear!?”
“Hehe, there are other female warriors who wear this, you know?”
“You’re attractive, Ms. Ninya. But… wasn’t this a place that sells regular clothes, not adventurer’s gear?”
“This isn’t really an outfit that’s suitable for adventuring. The material is also fragile. Let’s just say~ it’s for nighttime use♡”
Ms. Ninya’s bikini armor warrior cosplay.
I think it’s very good.
I wonder if they have something similar to a knight’s armor?
Ugh, kill me! I want to try that kind of play at least once.
I think Ms. Ninya would happily agree.
I was able to spend time without getting bored, having fantasies with the three of them while they changed into various clothes.
Of course, I was also working on the choreography for Solis’s lewd staff dance at the same time.
Ms. Ninya’s dynamic movements were a reference for the choreography.
The three of them excitedly bought several sets of clothes, and I put the bags containing the clothes into my inventory.
The three of them looked very satisfied with their purchases, which made me happy too.
As we were leaving the store, Ms. Ninya put her hand on my shoulder, lifted herself up, and whispered softly in my ear when Elsie and Noah weren’t looking.
“Rent, next time we go shopping, let’s go to a store that sells lewd outfits together♡”
It was a very attractive proposal.
“Let’s go with Elsie and Noah too.”
“Hehe, let’s do that. But wouldn’t Elsie be very embarrassed?”
“…I kind of want to see Elsie’s cute, embarrassed face.”
“Oh my, Rent, you have an unexpectedly mischievous side♡”
But Elsie is really cute when she’s embarrassed.
Ms. Ninya took her hand off my shoulder and hugged Elsie and Noah from behind at the same time.
“Hey, hey, Elsie, Noah~ next time we go shopping, let’s go to a nighttime clothing store that I recommend~.”
“Ooh, that sounds good. I wonder what kind of clothes Rent would like…♪”
“A n-nighttime clothing store…”
“And while we’re at it, there’s an adult goods store that I know well? Let’s go there together too…”
It seems like they’re about to have a very interesting conversation, but we still have things to do.
“Um, Ms. Ninya.”
“Yes, Rent?”
“Could you guide us to the bed store?”
“Oh right, that’s right. Follow me♡”
◈
We followed Ms. Ninya to the store where we would buy a bed.
“U-um, Ms. Ninya…”
“Yes? What is it, Elsie?”
“This is… the red-light district.”
“Yes, it is.”
Ms. Ninya had guided us to the red-light district to buy a bed.
From here and there, the signboard girls of the brothels were throwing glances at various male adventurers, and the signboard boys were seducing female adventurers.
“W-why did we come to the red-light district to buy a bed!”
Elsie clung tightly to my arm and asked Ms. Ninya.
As expected, walking through the red-light district is a bit burdensome and embarrassing for Elsie.
But personally, I’m satisfied to see Elsie’s cute and lovely appearance as she trembles slightly and blushes.
“Hehe, Elsie. You don’t know much. When it comes to beds, it’s not just for sleeping, but also for sharing love between men and women, right? And Rent has great stamina…
So, it’s only natural to buy a bed that is comfortable to sleep on and also comfortable when you’re getting intimate! If that’s the case, there’s no better place than the stores in the red-light district.”
Noah nodded beside her.
“Now that I think about it, that’s true.”
“The place I’m going to now is a bed store that’s also used by our brothel. It’s a bit expensive, but I absolutely guarantee the quality.”
I have about 400 gold that I can use.
No matter how expensive it is, there’s no problem buying a bed.
If we’re going to buy one, let’s buy the best one.
If possible, I’d like one that’s easy to clean up since I ejaculate a lot.
“We’re here.”
And we arrived at the bed store that Ms. Ninya had recommended.
Ms. Ninya pointed to the store with a confident face and said,
“This is the store I recommend. The Succubus’s Bed!”
It was a store with a name that a succubus brothel would use.
