Chapter 321 – 321: Application!
When I stopped, Mr. Trare walked towards me.
And then, stopping in front of me, Mr. Trare…
“Lant……”
Thump!
He grabbed my hands with both of his and shook them up and down.
“Thank you so much!”
Mr. Trare’s eyes were sparkling as he thanked me.
“Thanks to you, I… I’ve found a new meaning in life!”
“Ah, is that so?”
Meaning in life?
I didn’t quite understand what Mr. Trare was talking about.
“Yesterday… thanks to you, I learned about a new world! How wonderful it is to live! That there are still things in this world worth protecting! And… I’ve also learned about true love!”
“Huh?”
Mr. Trare raised both hands high and shouted.
“Jensi! Ah, Jensi! I can live on just to meet her!”
It seemed Mr. Trare was completely smitten with Ms. Jensi.
“My lovely guide! I don’t care what her job is! For her, I’ll accept anything! No matter what she does, I’ll love her! Ah, Jensi!”
Hmm… Is it just me, or does it feel more like worship than love?
“Mr. Trare.”
“Ah, sorry. I’ve been talking too much about myself. Oh, and that thing you lent me… can I keep it for a little longer? I’m still a bit short on party funds…”
“Yes, it’s fine. Are you heading to the dungeon now, Mr. Trare?”
“Yes! I’ll be working solo for a while! I’ll go to the dungeon, make a lot of money, and get promoted so I can spend more time with her! Well, I’m off! Thank you so much! I’ll never forget this kindness!”
Leaving those words behind, Mr. Trare dashed towards the dungeon with a whoosh.
We stared blankly at Mr. Trare’s retreating figure.
Mr. Trare really did appear and disappear like a storm.
“M-Mr. Trare… he seems full of energy, doesn’t he?”
“Lant, did you really just introduce him to a brothel yesterday?”
Noah tilted her head and asked.
“Yeah. I really just introduced him.”
“It seems like his serious emotional wounds were healed with pleasure along with his graduation from being a virgin… and he’s gone a bit in a strange direction. Well… if he’s happy, isn’t that a good thing?”
“…It was like a master going to a brothel with a favorite courtesan.”
I became a little curious about what kind of person Ms. Tikia’s master was.
◈
Mr. Trare’s appearance had briefly stopped us, but we also went to the dungeon and arrived at the 6th floor.
As usual, we moved to a place where there were no other adventurers.
While moving, I thought about Mr. Trare.
What kind of night did Mr. Trare spend with Ms. Jensi to end up in that state?
According to Ms. Ninya, the elf brothels have a strong romantic atmosphere…
The only thing I could imagine was Ms. Jensi gently leading the hesitant virgin Mr. Trare.
Ms. Jensi is 20 years old.
Mr. Trare is 24 years old.
Being led by someone younger, but for Mr. Trare, who had suffered emotional wounds, age wouldn’t matter.
Anyway, it’s a relief that Mr. Trare has cheered up.
…….
Mr. Trare.
Ms. Jensi.
A healed heart.
A courtesan.
Netorare.
My imagination starts to creep in.
Mr. Trare is completely smitten with Ms. Jensi!
But since she’s a courtesan, she has to receive various customers.
Mr. Trare, who always wants to see Ms. Jensi, secretly uses stealth after spending time with her and stays in the room where Ms. Jensi works!
And then he sees Ms. Jensi with another customer!
She’s with a customer who has a larger and longer member than his, and she’s showing a more lewd appearance than she did with him!
Seeing Ms. Jensi like that, Mr. Trare falls into sadness again, but at the same time, he feels a new excitement!
Even though I know Mr. Trare will be hurt by netorare, I end up having these lewd thoughts in my imagination.
It’s the instinct of a sad masturbator.
While we were moving, Ms. Tikia stopped walking.
“Lant.”
“Yes, Ms. Tikia.”
Ms. Tikia puffed out her cheeks and looked up at me.
“I don’t think I’m the one to say this, being the seventh one to join… but I think people’s emotions are unavoidable. The others are accepting it, but… I’m still not feeling better.”
I fully understood what Ms. Tikia was saying.
In fact, Ms. Tikia’s reaction was the most natural.
“But I also think it’s not good for me to be stubborn like this. So… I’m going to try to feel better in my own way today. I’d like Lant to cooperate with me.”
Ms. Tikia was trying to resolve her feelings somehow for our sake.
I was truly grateful just for that.
“Yes, I’ll do anything I can.”
At that moment, Ms. Tikia grinned.
“…You said anything just now, right?”
“Yes.”
“Okay! Then Lant! Get down on all fours! Hurry!”
“……? Yes.”
As Ms. Tikia requested, I put my hands on the ground and got down on all fours.
Then, Ms. Tikia climbed onto my back.
…I could feel Ms. Tikia’s thighs and the texture of her panties.
“Lant, now stand up!”
Hearing those words, I understood what Ms. Tikia wanted to do.
Ms. Tikia wanted to ride on my back.
“Yes.”
I grabbed Ms. Tikia’s feet and stood up.
“Ooh! It’s high! This high view is so nice! Everything is below me! Ahahahaha!”
Ms. Tikia’s dark side was flowing out.
“Ooh, a piggyback ride… it looks fun seeing Tikia do it. Lant! Let me do it next time!”
Noah looked at Ms. Tikia riding on my back with interest.
“Ah, no way!”
Ms. Tikia said, hugging my forehead.
“I’m going to ride all day while we’re in the dungeon! This is how I’m going to feel better!”
“Hehe, so you’re feeling better by increasing skinship with Lant?”
“Y-yes! So, Noah and Ninya are in charge of hunting today! I’ll be casting magic from on top of Lant’s head.”
“Um… Ms. Tikia.”
“Huh? What, Elsie? Even if it’s my comrade Elsie… oh, I won’t give up this spot today.”
“Ah, no, it’s not that. Just in case you fall, should I cast a power buff on you?”
“Ah, u-uh! Thank you. Thank you.”
“Yes! Power!”
Elsie cast a buff on Ms. Tikia.
“Thank you, Elsie. I’m sorry for… doubting you earlier.”
“It’s okay. …Today, Lant and Ms. Tikia are going to be close… Haa!”
“……Lant, is she getting excited?”
“Isn’t she lovely?”
“La, Lant…♡”
“I still think Lant is a pervert.”
Even though Ms. Tikia said that, she squeezed my neck even harder with her thighs.
The soft sensation of her thighs felt nice.
“Ahahaha.”
And then we moved again to hunt.
But while hunting Treants, we realized a crucial fact.
It was after Noah and Ms. Ninya each hunted one of the Treants that appeared.
“……Hey, Lant.”
“Yeah? What is it, Noah?”
“We came to the 6th floor to promote Tikia, but if you stay like that, won’t Lant not be able to gather the Treants?”
“Ah.”
That’s right.
To get Ms. Tikia a large amount of experience like last time, I needed to gather the Treants.
“What should we do, Ms. Tikia?”
“Hmm… but, I don’t want to be separated from Lant today…”
Ms. Tikia pressed her body against my head and hugged me even tighter.
Ms. Tikia’s scent was getting stronger, and honestly, I was getting excited.
But Ms. Ninya immediately suggested a solution.
“Then how about we act separately?”
“Separately?”
“Yeah. The three of us will hunt around here. So, Lant, you hunt Treants with Tikia. Lant can move quickly, so you can find the next Treant quickly, and…
Above all, Tikia can keep using magic if she’s with Lant, right? Besides, Tikia will feel better if she’s with Lant.”
“Ooh, that’s right! Let’s do that!”
I also agreed with Ms. Ninya’s opinion.
“That sounds like a good idea. Then let’s do that today.”
Then, Noah grinned mischievously and said to Ms. Tikia.
“Hehehe, Tikia~ you can’t have sex in the dungeon just because you’re alone with Lant, okay?”
“What!? Who, who would do such a thing without any common sense! S-sex in the dungeon…”
……Ahem!
“Hehe♡”
“Hehe♡”
“……”
Ms. Ninya and Noah were giggling, and Elsie blushed and turned her gaze away.
“Huh? Uh? No, way…”
“Ms. Tikia! Let’s go!”
“Wait, Lant, are you going to… with three people in the dungeon… Kyaaa!”
Feeling awkward, I quickly kicked off the ground and started moving.
◈
Two hours later.
Ms. Tikia and I were going around hunting Treants.
“Haa! …Twinkle Stars!”
Every time Ms. Tikia’s mana ran out, she would draw mana from me to recharge.
Each time, she would let out a small moan and squeeze my neck or face with her thighs, which felt really good.
“How are you feeling, Ms. Tikia?”
“Just a little… just a little more and I think I’ll be okay.”
“Then let’s try a little harder.”
I was about to move towards the next Treant again.
“Hey, Lant.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Why don’t you use other magic?”
“Other magic?”
“Yeah. Bind and Mana Weapon are also skills you got, but they are clearly magic. That means Lant can use magic. So why don’t you use other magic?”
“Honestly, I don’t know what you’re talking about, Ms. Tikia.”
“Uh… I mean… don’t you do ranged attacks?”
“Ranged attacks?”
“Yeah. Ranged attacks using magic.”
Come to think of it, I haven’t shown Ms. Tikia the extended Excalibur yet.
“Ah, if it’s ranged attacks, I can do that too. I can make a sword with Mana Weapon and then extend its length in one go.”
“……That’s another absurd way to use it. No, I mean, not that, but why don’t you use magic like the Fireball or Wind Cutter that I use?”
“……Can I use those too?”
“Of course! If you use that absurd application ability you have when making Mana Weapons, you can do it easily! Magic is ultimately a miracle that makes imagination a reality!”
Hearing Ms. Tikia’s words, I felt like I had realized a new truth.
A miracle that makes imagination a reality.
That’s the same as what I always do with Mana Weapons.
But…
“But Ms. Tikia, even if I make a Mana Weapon, it disappears if it gets about 30 meters away from me.”
“It’s absurd that a Mana Weapon can be maintained even if it’s 30 meters away from your body, Lant… and that’s only because it’s a Mana Weapon! If you form mana in a different way and shoot it, there’s no problem!
“Ooh!”
So that means I can use ranged magic too!
“Th, then Ms. Tikia! Can I shoot a Fireball or attack with magic?”
“Like Magic Missile? Of course, you can. Hmm, have you never tried it before?”
“Yes. I’ve made a bow with Mana Weapon and shot it, but it disappeared after flying 30 meters, so I thought that was my limit.”
Hearing my words, Ms. Tikia tapped my head and said.
“That’s the limit of Mana Weapon, not Lant’s limit. Okay! It looks like we just need to catch a few more Treants, so I’ll teach Lant the basics of magic!”
“Ooh, really!”
“Of course! La, Lant is my lover, right? It’s good for me if my lover gets stronger! Ah, but you can’t use too much magic, okay? If a super strong Lant starts spamming magic… I’ll lose my place in the party…”
“Hahaha, yes.”
It’s an unchanging fact that I’m the strongest in our party.
But I can’t be the only one who’s strong.
For the sake of my companions’ growth, I have no intention of doing a one-man show.
However, since I’m in a fantasy world, I want to use various magic if I can.
And then, I learned the knack of using ranged magic from Ms. Tikia in a few minutes.
The important thing about ranged magic is to gather mana, put the will to attack into it, and then shoot it out.
To make it easier for me to feel, Ms. Tikia first had me feel her mana flowing into my body.
I could feel Ms. Tikia’s mana entering my body, and this time she told me to focus on the movement of that mana.
Focusing on the flow of Ms. Tikia’s mana, Ms. Tikia’s mana went back into her body, took a certain form, moved to her staff, and was shot out.
“Magic Missile!”
Bang!
A lump of mana flew from Ms. Tikia’s staff and hit the ground, causing a small explosion.
“How was it? Do you understand?”
“Yes, I think I understand roughly!”
The knack wasn’t that different from Mana Weapon.
The difference was that instead of creating a shape… it felt like the image of using the mana itself to shoot it out had to be strong.
Magic is a miracle that makes imagination a reality…
I’m confident that I’m second to none when it comes to imagination.
“Then I’ll try it once.”
I stretched out my right index finger forward.
I didn’t know how far the mana would go, so I angled my finger slightly downwards.
And then, I gathered mana at the tip of my finger and imagined shooting it out like a laser, putting in a little mana.
The image was the finger beam form that I first saw that technique in the beginning.
Dodompa!
At that moment, a streak of blue mana shot out from the tip of my finger and hit the ground…
Kwaaaaaang!
It caused an explosion that created a huge dust cloud.
“U-u-u-u-u-uh.”
“Waa……”
Ms. Tikia’s mouth was trembling, and I was staring at the scene with sparkling eyes.
