Chapter 59 – My Hero
◈
After returning to the fox’s shelter, I thought about what to do next.
It was almost lunchtime.
Normally, we would have lunch and go back into the dungeon, but…
Elsie needed rest right now.
And I didn’t want to go into the dungeon anymore today either.
I succeeded in rescuing Elsie, so I guess you could say…
I felt like I had done everything I needed to do today.
Maybe Noah felt the same way.
“Rent, Noah…”
As I was thinking about what to do today, Elsie spoke to me.
“Yes, Elsie.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Um… I want to say it again. Thank you so much for saving me…”
Elsie bowed her head to us.
“And… um…”
Elsie raised her head and looked back and forth between Noah and me.
“I might be… getting in the way of Rent and Noah… but in the future…”
Come to think of it, the explanation about last night wasn’t over yet.
For Elsie, she thinks that Noah and I are dating, and she has already fallen for me, who is dating Noah.
How the heck am I supposed to explain this?
The truth is, we’re not dating, I’m just having sex with Noah as a reward for saving her life!
…That’s trashy, isn’t it?
No, Noah definitely approached me first, and it was consensual to the point where you could call it lovey-dovey sex.
Of course, after that, I did it until Noah passed out, and even after she passed out, I played with her tail and kept going…
Just reading it as a sentence makes me sound like a piece of trash.
Elsie, who loves me, is looking at me with rapidly dropping temperature, and it wouldn’t be strange if she saw me as trash.
How do I explain this?
Then Noah hugged Elsie.
“El~sie~.”
*Wham!*
“Kyaa! No, Noah?”
Noah smiled and said to Elsie.
“Elsie, let’s go play.”
“Huh? Go play? Where are we going…”
“Anywhere! Shopping is good, and talking at a tea shop is good too! Huh? Let’s go? You don’t want to go to the dungeon today anyway, right?”
“W-well, that’s true… but I still have something to say…”
“I’ll listen to that first! I have something to say to Elsie too.”
“Ugh… that thing you want to say is probably…”
“Hmm~ I can roughly guess what Elsie is thinking. Let’s go outside together first! Come on, come on!”
Noah pushed Elsie’s back and tried to go outside.
“W-wait a minute, Noah.”
“Come on, come on. Oh, Rent! I’m going to play with Elsie!”
Noah winked at me.
It seems like she’s telling me to leave Elsie to her.
Noah will definitely be able to talk to Elsie better than I can.
I nodded and gently waved my hand.
“Okay, have fun.”
“Let’s go, Elsie!”
Noah, who was pushing her back, now grabbed Elsie’s wrist and ran outside.
“Kyaa! No, Noah!?”
Elsie was dragged along by Noah, who was holding her wrist.
I watched Elsie and Noah’s backs and hoped that Noah would talk to Elsie well.
I had some time left over.
I didn’t want to go to the dungeon right now, and if I went to the Adventurer’s Guild to take on a quest outside, I would be the center of attention from all the adventurers gathered in the guild right now.
It’s not that I’m uncomfortable with the attention, but I feel like if time passes, they’ll just stare at me and then suddenly start bombarding me with questions.
I don’t think the questions will end with just one, and it will take a long time to answer them, so I didn’t want to go right now.
It would be nice to stay in my room, but there’s still time until dinner.
Noah will probably be out playing with Elsie… and explaining things until dinner.
Then there’s only one way to kill time alone until dinner.
Alright!
Let’s supply my protein nutrients to nature for the first time in a while.
Time to activate the eco-friendly masturbation system in the forest!
◈ side-Elsie
Led by Noah, I came to the cake shop that Rent and I had visited a few days ago.
Sitting down, Noah ordered and ate the same cake that I had eaten with Rent.
“Wow~ this cake is really delicious. Elsie and Rent bought me this cake on the day Tina gave me a massage, right?”
“Yes. Rent bought it…”
“Miranda brought it out and gave it to me the next evening, and the cake melted in my mouth, and the fruit was delicious too. Really~ Elsie, you’re so mean. If you knew about such a delicious place, you should have told me sooner.”
“W-well, when I was in a party with Noah, I didn’t earn enough to come here yet… I was going to tell you when my rank went up a bit.”
“Ah… I guess that’s true. Thanks to Rent, we’re earning a lot now. If it were just the two of us, it would be hard to come here.”
“Yes…”
Noah brought me here to play, but her real purpose is probably to talk about my relationship with Rent.
Noah and Rent are lovers.
Rent is… Noah’s hero.
I’m sure I’ll be in the way if I’m there.
Noah will smile and say that it’s okay even if I’m there.
But… I confessed to Rent.
I… told him my feelings.
If I had kept these feelings hidden, I could have continued as before…
But I’ve already told Rent how I feel.
And in front of Noah.
Noah will definitely have a hard time treating me with a smile like before.
But still… if Noah allows it, I can continue to be together…
It’s selfish… it’s self-centered… but the three of us can continue to adventure together…
“Um, Noah…”
As I was about to talk to Noah, bracing myself, Noah extended her arm towards me, showing her palm.
“Elsie. If we drag this out, the story will go in a strange direction, so I’ll tell you the most important thing first.”
Noah folded her outstretched arm and licked the cream from her lips as she spoke.
“I’m not dating Rent.”
“Huh?”
Huh?
What is Noah saying right now?
My head couldn’t keep up.
“No, Noah? What do you mean…”
“I’m saying that Elsie doesn’t need to feel guilty because she thinks Rent and I are lovers. And if you ever think about leaving the party because you’re getting in the way of Rent and me, don’t ever say that. I’ll get really angry if you do?”
Noah saw right through what I was thinking.
But there was something I didn’t understand.
If Rent and Noah aren’t lovers, then what was the scene I saw last night…?
“But Noah and Rent were definitely…”
“Ah~ you saw it after all. Um… how much did you see?”
The scene from last night came back to me.
My heart ached as if it was being stabbed, and the pain from that time came back with it.
“…I saw Rent trying to take off Noah’s clothes. I saw that much and… ran out…”
“Ah… hmm…”
Noah crossed her arms and was deep in thought about something.
Is it a lie that they’re not lovers, and is Noah trying to find an excuse to be considerate of me…?
“Hey, Elsie.”
“Yes, Noah…”
“Do you want to have sex with Rent?”
What!?
“What!? W-what are you saying, Noah!?”
My face flushed at Noah’s sudden words.
Why, why are you saying something like that!
“You like Rent, right? Then you want to have sex with him too, right?”
“T-t-that’s… n-no, Noah! Why are you suddenly saying something like that!”
“Hmm, I thought it would be better to directly confirm Elsie’s feelings rather than beating around the bush.”
“Y-you’re being too direct!”
Noah has always been so casual about sexual topics.
I wish she would be a little more restrained.
“Hehehe, sorry, sorry. But I’m glad that the gloomy atmosphere has disappeared a little because I got a little angry.”
“W-what do you mean by ‘glad’! I’m being serious…”
“Okay, Elsie. Then I’ll tell you how Rent and I ended up like that.”
“Ugh…”
Noah smiled brightly as usual.
“Before that, I have something to say… of course, I like Rent too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have kissed him… or had sex with him, right?”
“Yes…”
“Hey, Elsie. When did you realize you liked Rent?”
“Last night… when I saw Rent and Noah doing that… my heart hurt so much. I ran outside without thinking, and when I thought about why I was hurting so much… I realized that I loved Rent…”
“Ah… um… I see…”
“And at that time… when I was first saved by Rent… I already realized that I liked Rent.”
“I see… yeah, I actually liked Rent from that time too. Well, Rent is strong, reliable, and very kind, right?”
“Yes…”
“Elsie, to be honest, when I first met Rent, I really wanted to be in the same party as him. I had a crush on him, but… Rent is so strong, so I thought adventuring would be more fun and easier in the future.
But the next day, Rent asked us to be in a party, and I was really… really happy.”
“Yes, I was happy too…”
“So that night… I did it with Rent. As a reward for saving my life.”
“Ugh…”
“And when Elsie saw us… it was the third time we were doing it. But you know what? Rent and I are not dating yet. I’m just doing it with Rent as a reward for saving my life.”
“But… Noah likes Rent, right?”
“Of course, I do.”
“Then in the end, Noah is practically in a relationship with Rent… so I’ll just be in the way…”
“Elsie, don’t keep saying that you’re in the way. I’ll get angry, okay?”
“…I’m sorry.”
“Besides… um… if you say that, then I’m also a nuisance…”
“Huh?”
“Actually, the first person to do that kind of thing with Rent… wasn’t me, it was Tina.”
“Huh!? W-why is Tina coming up here!?”
“Well… the first person to do something lewd with Rent was Tina.”
“W-when!?”
“Well… it was the day Rent saved us.”
My head started to hurt.
What the heck am I listening to right now?
The throbbing in my head was stronger than the pain in my heart.
“I guess Tina had a muscle fetish. While Rent was getting a massage, she was rubbing Rent’s muscles, and I guess she got excited and did it.”
“D-did Rent not refuse?”
“Ahaha, Elsie~ Rent is a man. If a woman approaches him aggressively, he can’t refuse. …Well, I used that to my advantage too. Eheh♪”
For a moment, I felt annoyed by Noah scratching her head and sticking out her tongue.
“Ah, but Tina hasn’t had sex yet. On the first day, she just shook Rent’s dick with her hand.”
“D-d-d…”
Why is Noah saying such things so casually in a place like this!
“Actually, I happened to see that scene that night. No, what I saw was Rent, who was left alone after it was all over, masturbating. The next day, I asked Rent while we were doing it, and Rent told me.”
“M-masturbating…”
“Actually, I was going to slowly increase the amount of body touch and skinship when I was trying to convince Rent to join our party, but when I saw that scene, I got a little excited… and the fact that Rent asked us to join his party that day made me so happy, and… I liked Rent even more at that time, so I went for it.
Thanks to that, I’m not dating Rent right now… but we’re having sex in a good mood.”
Noah held up her index and middle fingers.
Why are you saying it like you’re bragging?
“Well, of course, I want to date Rent too. Because I like Rent. But… I don’t think Rent has to date just me.”
“What do you mean…”
I didn’t understand Noah’s words very well.
“Actually, if you think about it, I’m also a stray cat to Tina, right? Tina definitely likes Rent too. But I suddenly appeared in the middle and skipped a step, right?
But Tina is so kind… so I’m having a competition with Tina right now.”
“A competition?”
“Hehe, a competition to see who can make Rent their prisoner first. Ah, I’ll tell you in advance… I’ve been thinking about dating Rent with Elsie from the beginning, okay?”
“Huh!?”
“Actually, I was going to win the competition with Tina, persuade Tina, and then tease Elsie little by little to get her to do it with Rent and block her escape route… but I never thought it would turn out like this.”
“No, Noah?”
What the heck is Noah thinking?
“B-but I wonder if Rent would like that…”
“No, Rent would actually like it? Men dream of having a harem, right? The fact that he didn’t refuse when I asked him to have sex to repay him after he did something lewd with Tina is proof of that, right?”
“Ugh…”
“Besides~ Rent wouldn’t dislike Elsie at all. And Rent knew that Elsie had feelings for him.”
“Huh!? W-when did he know!?”
“Well… it’s obvious from Elsie’s reaction.”
“D-did it show that obviously that I liked Rent!?”
“Yeah. You were jealous when I clung to Rent, right? Honestly, anyone could tell that Elsie likes Rent, right? And Rent was the closest to Elsie, so it’s obvious that he would know.”
“A-ah, ah, ah…”
I want to go into a mouse hole if there is one…
“And… honestly, I don’t think the competition with Tina will ever be resolved.”
“Huh? W-what do you mean by that?”
Noah put on a serious face, clasped her hands together, and put them under her nose as she spoke.
“Rent is too strong.”
“Huh?”
“Rent’s dick is too strong, no, he’s too virile.”
“Huh!?”
No, what the heck is Noah saying again…
“Elsie, I had muscle pain, right? Well, it was because I moved my body so violently because it was my first time… Tina helped me get better in a day, but the important thing is not that… I passed out while doing it with Rent that night. Rent moved me to my room after I passed out.”
“P-passed out…”
“Actually, one of the biggest reasons why I tried to have sex with Rent was that he must have been covered in cum after doing something lewd with Tina… but even after that, Rent came 6 times just by masturbating…
When I saw that, I felt like… should I say that my instincts as a female beastkin reacted? I got excited and wanted to try doing it with Rent.
Rent is that virile. He’s amazing. To the point where I passed out while doing it with Rent the second and third time. And Rent is still full of energy.
Honestly, even if Tina does it with Rent, it’s obvious that Tina will pass out just like me.
I can only imagine a future where Tina and I will be defeated by Rent’s dick, rather than making Rent our prisoner.”
“Noah? Noah!?”
“And recently… I allowed it, but Rent is doing it even with my passed-out body.”
“Huh!?”
“I don’t know what he’s doing while I’m passed out… but for some reason, my tail has become very sensitive, so it’s strange… I’m the only one who’s having sex with Rent right now… if this keeps up, I don’t know how my body will change at Rent’s hands.
This morning, I was sincerely thinking that I wish Tina would have sex with Rent quickly so that she could take care of me while I’m passed out.”
“Huh? Huh!?”
“That’s how amazing sex with Rent is… It’s so good, so good… the good feeling keeps going… to the point where I lose consciousness. I’m sure that even if Tina has sex with Rent, it will just add one more person who passed out from doing it with Rent.
Should I call it a hero’s lust? No, a hero’s virility? Rent’s stamina is really on par with the mythical rabbit beastkin hero.
So I want Elsie to date Rent with me and share Rent’s virility.
I’m serious.”
Honestly, Noah’s story is too embarrassing, and there’s too much information for my head to keep up.
But I thought I had to ask this one thing.
“No, Noah… are you really okay with me dating Rent with you?”
Noah smiled and said.
“I don’t mind. Rather, if we date together, I can cling to Rent more in front of Elsie, right? Or it would be fun to act cute to Rent at the same time.
Elsie, are you okay with dating Rent with me?”
“I… I might have hated it at first. But now… if I can just be with Rent and Noah… and if I can be with Rent…”
“Hehehe, so Elsie is okay with it too?”
“…Yes.”
“Okay! Then I’ll ask you one more time, Elsie.”
Noah smiled brightly, grabbed my hands, and asked.
“Elsie, do you want to have sex with Rent?”
“…………Yes.”
My face is burning.
I’m too embarrassed to lift my head properly.
“Okay! Then let’s eat quickly and go outside!”
“W-where are you going this time?”
Noah said with a sly smile.
“Hehehehehe, I, Noah, who has already climbed the stairs of adulthood, will give Elsie special support♪”
