In the end, unable to buy a magic tool in order to improve Eris healing magic ability, it was ti for to return.
Hahhh, whyd it have to be 10 million Zeni
I tried visiting the magic tool shop one more ti after that, but among the magic tools that could raise her mana capacity, that one was the cheapest. Even checking out other nearby stores, it was much the sa story.
Seems like that sort of item is considerably pricey. Its probably the type of magic tool that cant be artificially reproduced. Theres no way to obtain it other than picking it up by chance from the labyrinth. The supply and demand are fatally out of balance.
I kinda feel like Ive exhausted all the ans at my disposal.
Honestly, what do I dooo.
Besides, theres also the matter of Ruruka. Its a secondary problem compared to the fact that Eris might end up going to train in the royal capital, but I should still do sothing about this one as well. Yeah, the way we parted was too awkward. I want to patch things up sohow.
Well, even if I tell myself to follow up, I still dont know what I should do about it. If its Yuel I can generally manage it by petting her head, but I doubt thatll work in Rurukas case.
Or perhaps I should say, no matter how much I think about it, I cant figure out why Ruruka was acting like that in the first place.
From the course of events, it seems natural to conclude that shes irritated by the existence of Eris, but honestly speaking I feel like she doesnt have any reason to think that highly of .
Touching her ass, slipping off her shorts I can think of several reasons just from today alone for her to dislike .
But still, seeing Rurukas behavior in front of that inn, theres no way that was really I just wanted to change my clothes.
In other words, even deducting todays minus points from her goodwill, Ruruka mustve been quite fond of already. But I cant fathom why.
Is it because Im so handso?
If thats the case, everything makes sense. And Yuel said I was, too. Also my grandma used to tell the sa thing when I was a kid.
As Im reflecting while I walk,
Marbled royal capital beef say, Sera, why dont we have so?
Fran, your allowance has been completely cut off since then, and in addition you were told to refrain from entering the labyrinth as well, or have you forgotten? You mustnt waste money.
But I know, lets split one!
Even if you dont eat it here, if you buttered up Lord-sama for so marbled royal capital beef Im sure he would buy you an entire cow.
I hate doing that. And that would be pointless anyway. Im hungry now.
I spot a natural blonde twin-drills and a blue-haired girl, about to get a al at a food cart. Its Fran and Sera. I guess since then is probably referring to what happened after the lords sponsored dinner party.
It seems as though the blue-haired girl, Sera, is about to buy a skewer of marbled royal capital beef.
Well, I only noticed them, its not like our eyes t. Im not good with Fran. If I try to strike up a conversation and inadvertently sexually harass her, shes liable to fire off attack magic at .
Plus shes flat.
I consider asking them for Rurukas whereabouts, but I usually run into Ruruka pretty often, so our spheres of activity probably overlap. Even if I dont ask them, I should be able to et her again before too long.
Ill ignore them but as Im about to take my leave,
Why hello there. Are you alone today?
With a cheerful smile, Sera calls out. Handing the skewer she just bought over to Fran, she moves to stand in my way. It seems Ive been spotted.
Quite.
I wonder what she wants from ? They arent as big as Eris, but Sera is well-endowed. Ive got nothing against talking per se, its just that the drills-hothead over there is scary.
How fortunate. The two of us were about to go sightseeing in town. If you dont mind, how would you like to share a al with us?
Hold on, Sera! I-Im against it!
But, Fran imdiately barges in with a rough voice. And begins to quarrel with Sera in said rough tone.
Co now, Fran, isnt this the perfect opportunity?
The perfect opportunity wait. Sera, are you seriously talking about that!?
Of course Im serious. Fran, do you an to say that theres no need to return a favor youve received? Or else do you an that in return for saving your life, Lord-sama paid him so money and therefore its fine to say thats the end of that?
Gh!
Just because the other party is a man, this is not sothing you can just gloss over. As a daughter of the irhartz family, you cannot run away from it.
For a mont I wonder what theyre talking about, but sohow or other I have an idea. Looks like Sera wants to make Fran thank . As for why, its probably over the matter of saving her from that Krankheit Turtles charge.
I received a reward from the lord, but Sera appears to be dissatisfied with that alone. Although sothing tells shes just using it as an excuse to work on Frans misandry.
Fine, I understand.
And, Fran reluctantly gives in to Seras persuasion. The phrase as a daughter of the irhartz family seems to have been the clincher.
When Fran nods, Sera turns her attention to next.
There you have it, Shiki-san. If theres anything at all youd like Fran to do for you, please dont hesitate to ask.
Anything at all!?
My surprised outcry overlaps with Frans. She did just say anything, right?
What are you thinking, Sera! Im a daughter of irhartz, arent I!? Are you telling to offer up my virginity to this nobody of a man!?
I havent said a single word yet about anything like taking her virginity. In Frans mind, am I so beast with nothing but sexual desire in my head or sothing?
Well, I cant deny that though.
Certainly, it might have crossed my mind for a mont, but I have no intention of actually saying it. And Sera wouldnt actually listen to it if I did.
Fran, what favor did this daughter of irhartz receive? The gift of life. Shiki-san went so far as to risk his own life to save you, so shouldnt you at least have the resolve to accept whatever unreasonable demand he imposes on you?
She would listen to it. It bothers a bit that shes assuming Ill demand sothing outrageous, though.
Although, these guys are Rurukas party mbers. If it ends up like I had your ally give her virginity as thanks for saving her life, Ruruka will no doubt despise from the bottom of her heart. I cant demand sothing like that in the first place.
Plus I have no interest in flat chests, either.
But, even for a life debt, saying anything at all!
Fran, when it looked like you were going to fall into the river, at that ti I regretted not putting my foot down more firmly with you. You can only beco the next lord if youre still alive. If you hate such things, then dont incur any life debts anymore.
Sera addresses Fran with even greater fervor. Shes sounding like a preacher.
Sohow this is giving the impression that I cant really make an unreasonable demand, and that Im just being used as a pretext for Frans education. I an, thats most likely how it is.
When her sermon to Fran is over, Sera gives a small wink so that only I can see it. As I thought, it ans I cant really ask for anything at all; this is a kind of lesson.
Very well, Shiki-san. Please say whatever it is youd like Fran to do for you.
For starters, I look Frans body up and down as if Im tasting it with my eyes. That alone makes Fran clasp her hands over her body in an attempt to hide it while glaring at . Is she that anxious about it? Her eyes are getting watery.
I think she should just reject it if she hates it that much, but perhaps because of that daughter of the lord title shes being excessively dutiful.
Though, what do I ask of her? I dont especially feel like theres anything I want from her
Wait, there is sothing.
Oh right, tell where Ruruka is currently staying.
I want to follow up with Ruruka over todays incident, but I dont know which inn shes staying at. Her party mbers should know.
Thats it?
Frans eyes widen at my request. She must have been sure my request would involve her chastity, but shes thinking too highly of herself. I have no more interest in a flat body than the average person.
Yep, thats it.
When I return it right back to her, Fran closes her eyes in contemplation. Perhaps shes wondering if theres so sort of catch.
Why are you asking about such a thing? Besides, now that you ntion it, Ruruka said she was going to et you this morning. She said she wanted to go sightseeing together with you in town. You still havent t up yet?
No, we already t. Hold on, Ruruka was saying sothing like that? Even though she was acting like she ran into in town by chance, was it not entirely a coincidence after all?
Well, nothing to worry about there. If you know, tell .
Did you do sothing to Ruruka? Even if youre my savior, I wont forgive you if you did sothing indecent to Ruruka. It hasnt even been four months since I t her, but shes still my precious comrade.
Even if I tell her that I thought Ruruka invited to do indecent things but then she ran away and it got awkward, I doubt shell be able to trust . She seems to be wary of .
Well, if it were I would absolutely never give out a female acquaintances address to a serial sexual harasser, to be fair.
Wait, Ruruka hasnt even known these two for 4 months? Aint that about as long as shes known ?
I thought youd known each other for a longer ti. Im a little surprised.
Four months ago, Ruruka was surrounded by monsters in the labyrinth, and we happened to save her. We were beginning adventurers at the ti and we were experiencing difficulties even on the lower floors, so we desired an ally.
That reminds , this girl beca an adventurer because she screwed up a marriage interview and got kicked out of the house. Her getting to know Ruruka, an adventurer, couldnt have happened that long ago.
It was probably a matter of course for Fran and Sera, who cant do much besides attack with magic and a bow, to form a party with Ruruka, who specializes in protection with a shield.
Well, if you dont want to tell where Ruruka is, thats fine. Im sure well et again soon anyhow.
Theres no need for go out of my way to ask for her whereabouts. So long as shes commuting back and forth between the tavern I bet Ill run into her sooner or later.
When I respond like that, Fran calls out to Sera next.
Well then, lets leave it at that. Sera, isnt it about ti we return? Ive finished my marbled royal capital beef.
Fran you ultimately havent done anything for Shiki-san.
Sera hands a marbled royal capital beef skewer that she bought while I wasnt paying attention, and speaks out in an astonished tone. Now that I think about it, shes right.
Even though this was supposed to be about asking whatever I want of her as thanks, in the end Ive neither heard about Rurukas inn nor done anything erotic. I did receive a skewer from Sera just now, but thats it.
Gh
Taken aback by Seras words, Fran once again covers her body and glares at . Is this abnormal wariness due to her man-hating or because its ?
This is getting a little tireso.
Okay, do you know of a magic tool that has the effect of raising your mana capacity? Buy it for .
Thats quite an unreasonable demand out of nowhere. I myself have wanted one for a long ti, but I could never buy such a thing on my own. Perhaps Father would buy it for you if you asked him in earnest, but in that case youd end up having to marry for real this ti.
I detest the idea.
Of course.
Ill pass on getting married to Fran too. But man, he may actually buy a 10 million Zeni magic tool if I implore him? Thats incredible. I guess thats the lord of a labyrinth city for you.
If Fran had big tits and a ladylike personality I might consider it.
Oh my, is it no good? Fran can get married to the man who bet his life to defend her from a monster, and in addition, Shiki-san can obtain the magic tool he desires. I think its quite an ingenious idea.
Like I said, Thats out of the question!
Sera interrupts from the sideline, but Fran imdiately shuts her down.
Though you would be taking your wifes na, as a noble it is common to have mistresses and illegitimate children, so I expected Shiki-san to find it highly agreeable
Whats with that detail. In this world, monogamy is standard for the masses, but apparently thats not always the case for nobles. Ive always been considering building a harem sohow since its another world and all, but I get the feeling the goal is finally in sight.
Well, be that as it may, I cant possibly see myself getting married to Fran. My interest is slightly piqued though.
Whether or not Sera is aware of my feelings, she continues the discussion.
And Fran, Shiki-san has been recognized by Lord-sama moreover, the fact that you didnt try very hard to correct Lord-samas earlier misunderstanding, that proves that even if just slightly, you wouldnt have minded allowing the misunderstanding to carry on like that and beco the truth.
~~~~~!
The mont that Sera says that, a ball of fire abruptly materializes above Frans palm.
Chantless magic invocation. The fireball is quite irregularly-shaped, and its size is rather small. It looks so unstable that it might disperse at any second, but Fran is glaring harshly and brandishing it at .
Oi oi oi, wait a minute! What are you planning to do!?
-The story I previously heard from Ruruka springs to mind. How Fran fired off attack magic into her marriage interview partners crotch and was expelled from her house.
Dont tell this is the sa feeling she was giving off back then? This girl hasnt grown one bit, has she!
Fraaan!?
Sera cries out at once, but Fran doesnt stop. Even if I try to avoid it, I was completely taken by surprise and it doesnt seem like Ill dodge it in ti.
Is this the sa roast loin course that the noble was treated to at his marriage interview with Fran? A fireball of this size shouldnt be fatal, but at this rate my heart will give out. Yeah, maybe its better not to get involved with this girl after all.
-I lock eyes with Fran, who looks like she could throw the fireball at any mont.
Her face is bright red, perhaps out of sha, and her eyes are watery too. Is she that mortified by what Sera told her? But throwing a fireball just because shes embarrassed is intolerable.
Then- just before shes about to throw the fireball. At the very last mont, Fran flings it onto the ground. Breathing roughly, she stares at the black scorch mark that she created on the ground.
That was friggin dangerous! What the hell has gotten into you!
Sohow I get the feeling Ive realized one of the reasons why Sera was trying to hook up with Fran. First, there likely isnt anyone who would accept such an aggressive woman. Second, if Im attacked it wont beco that big of a deal since I can use healing magic.
Sera ntioned that the lord approves of and Im her savior and all, but sothing tells the first two are the real reasons. I take a look at Sera, and shes just holding her head like shes done it again.
And yet, with zero remorse, Fran makes a sort of refreshed face and opens her mouth.
You are a healer, yes?
Yeah.
Even though her tone is normal, I can feel an air of intimidation. No doubt due to that scorch mark on the ground.
You cannot use offensive magic, yes?
Thats right.
Ive previously learned a little about attack magic from custors at the hospital before, but I wasnt able to use it at all. I dont really understand why, though.
Indeed. Very well, Ive decided how to repay you. From now on, I shall teach you offensive magic I trust you have no issue with that, yes?
She probably wants to put a stop to all talks of marriage right here and now. From her intensity I can tell that I have no say in the matter.
