Chapter 169 – Bellatrix Is ​​laughing

About a week had passed since the day I left the port city.
The moon changed in a week, and when it was November, we were able to return to Yoensuu.

“You’ve worked hard, everyone. The escort quest is now over. Go to the receptionist and get paid. Oh, don’t forget that we made dinner plans tonight.”

Arriving at the adventurer’s guild in the late afternoon, Bella dismissed me and her lovers.
I, who had been tied up as a house elf while being escorted for a month, was finally free.
At that moment, the air I inhaled felt clear.

“Euuuuu! Free!”

I enjoyed the feeling of liberation as I stretched out.
While returning to Yoensu, the atmosphere inside the carriage was so thrilling that it was difficult to endure.
It was because the lovers engaged in a war of nerves every moment with Bella, who was sitting next to me.

Mainly about whether the fiancé whose surname is Mr. Von actually exists.

“Where in the world is there a fiancé with the last name Fon!”
“No, really?”

Rebecca and Kate took turns interrogating Bella like a tag match in Tekken.
But she said Bella had a fiancé no matter what.

Honestly, I don’t know if it’s real or a lie, but I think her Bella’s guts are worth recognizing.
Because he endured the interrogation for a week.

Maybe it was because she persistently stuck by my side and made up my mind.
Bella no longer felt anxious when I was out of sight.

“Bella-sister. It’s okay without me by your side now, right? Aren’t all the symptoms of anxiety gone?”
“Yeah-. Thanks to Luke, I’m all better. Thank you for protecting me all this time.”

After hearing that it was okay to stay away, I went to the reception desk alone to make a report as the party leader.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Wendy!”

At the guild reception desk, Wendy was in the middle of her work.
When I spoke to her, Wendy waved her hand happily.

“You’re finally back! I just received a call saying that Bugilma and the adventurers who participated in the escort quest have returned. It’s nice to see Mr. Luke’s face after a long time.”
“I’m so happy that I’m about to cry. Heuugh!”

The moment she saw Wendy, she finally felt like she was back in her hometown.
Her heart throbbed and rang when she saw her pure white mamma barrel revealed over her receptionist’s dress.

Over the past month, I’ve been missing Wendy at the reception desk every once in a while.
She is a woman who serves as a mental support in this world full of dangerous threats.

‘As expected, I can’t stop being an adventurer because of the taste of Mr. Wendy.’

Whether it was a month ago or now, Wendy’s motherly pain is still the same.
Looking at her is a mamma barrel that makes you want to dive into her breastbone.
I looked at her breasts with a pleased gaze and spoke to Wendy.

“I’m here to get paid for completing the escort quest.”
“I’ve prepared the reward in advance. I’ll give it to the party members as well. Mr. Luke, please distribute it yourself.”

Wendy placed three sacks of money on her counter.
These are sacks full of silver coins.
Like a long-term quest that lasted for a month, she received additional money from the money she was originally supposed to receive.

A total of 50 silver per person.
If you use this money only for living expenses, you can live comfortably for several months.
Of course, you will have to buy equipment or magic books, so there will be expenses. Still, there was nothing more gratifying than that when the money came into my hands.

“Congratulations on completing the quest! Since it’s an escort quest for Mr. Bugilma, you can say that you’ve received a lot of merit. Maybe next year, a gold tier promotion quest will be issued to Mr. Luke.”
“Gold tier? Are you saying it’s time for me to wear a gold medal already?”
“Mr. Luke is quite trusted by Mr. Bugilma. The only proper mage in the guild is Ms. Luke. The rest of them have skills, but they all have eccentric personalities, so it’s hard to get them to work.”

If you are promoted to the gold tier, you will receive a pension even if you retire from your adventurer job.
It was certainly good news that I could wear a gold medal by next year. I want to spend my old age comfortably while eating my pension.

Jjalang-.

It was when I was putting the money bag in my backpack.
Suddenly, Wendy thrust her upper body out onto her reception desk and she spoke to me.

“Mr. Luke. I heard you’re having dinner with Bugilma-nim today?”

For some reason, Wendy had insight into my future schedule.
I wondered if she had mastered mind reading while I was gone, but luckily it wasn’t.

She thought about trying to massage Mamma Tong, but she, Wendy, was unresponsive.
If she had learned mind reading, she would have slapped me right now.

“I was contacted by Hannah about Bugilma’s schedule. I heard that Bugilma would buy dinner for the adventurers who were escorting them. I heard that she would take them to a very luxurious restaurant.”
“That’s right. But why don’t we eat together?”
“You’re going to drink, but it means to be careful in front of Bugilma-sama. I know that Mr. Luke is a heavy drinker, but the party members might get into trouble.”
“…Maybe if you leave it alone, it will.”

I thought for a moment and then nodded.
You don’t know what accident Rebecca and Kate will have at dinner today.
If they were showing off their beagle beauty even in front of Bugilma, they could have turned the drinking party into a mess.

‘I have to take responsibility and stop it.’

If that happens, my promotion won’t be swayed, but the party members’ promotion will be skewered. I vowed to take good care of my lovers at a drinking party.
It’s going to be a very difficult job, but I can’t help it.
The only one who can maintain a sane mind even when drunk is me, a dreamer.

“Get some rest, Mr. Luke. If you have any leftovers, you can bring them to me! My daughter will take care of everything.”

I went out of the Adventurer’s Guild while Wendy saw me off.
Rebecca and Kate had already returned to their respective homes and were out of sight.
After walking through the city and returning to the inn, I unpacked and washed lightly.
I had plenty of time until the time I promised dinner, so I was able to move freely.

*

7:00 pm.
Bella came to visit me and the lovers gathered at the adventurer’s guild.
Of course, they did not walk to the restaurant, but rode in a carriage. I could see Hannah sitting in the driver’s seat, as always.

“All gathered. Including Hannah, who worked hard together, there are all five of us. We can go to dinner with this member.”
“Bugilma sister! Where are we going now?”
“〈 Cradle of the Sun 〉 is a restaurant near City Hall. It is very famous because it was opened after the head chef who worked at the court retired.”

Having put me and her lovers in a carriage, Bella immediately left for an upscale restaurant near City Hall.
It’s a restaurant, but it’s a whopping four-story building, and it’s a place where you can’t enter unless you make a reservation because there are no customers.
You could say it’s a restaurant that’s far from low-life adventurers like me.

“Wow!”

Even Kate, who lives a wealthy life, must have never been to the Cradle of the Sun.
As soon as she entered the store she looked around frantically.

“T-Can I just go in, sister? I heard that there are so many customers here that only those who make a reservation are accepted.”
“It’s okay, Kate. I made a reservation in advance with the guild members. I’m also familiar with the staff here.”

Bella’s words of acquaintance with the restaurant staff were true.
The moment she appeared in her hall, her staff dressed in suits greeted Bella politely.
Bella seemed to be treated as a good customer at the Cradle of the Sun.
The attitude of the staff was different from when they treated other guests.

“Bellatrix-sama, Hanna-sama, and other adventurers. I’ll take you to a private room, so please follow me.”

A female attendant directed us to a private room on the upper floor of the restaurant.
It was a luxurious room with a panoramic view of the city. I never thought the day would come when I could eat at a place like this.

“Sit comfortably. You should eat as much as you want here as much as you worked hard. If you have something else to order, you can order anything.”
“Really?! Can I order anything I really want to eat?”
“Of course. It doesn’t matter because I bought it with my own money.”
“That’s great-. Kay! Let’s order everything on the menu here!”

The thrilling current between Bella and her lovers disappeared in an instant.
The lovers who used to tickle her at Bella suddenly turned into docile sheep. As expected, the affinity for the person who buys something to eat increases rapidly.

“Kyaaak! Foie gras! They say you can eat foie gras here!”
“I order everything except fish dishes! If you get fat, ask Mongma-nim to take it off!”
“How do you subtract?”
“You can lose weight in bed. Sex is the best way to burn calories.”
“Ohh-.”

The lovers firmly believed that I would put them on a sex diet. I don’t care if I gain weight, I ordered all the dishes for today. I thought I should eat something good for my stamina.

“Please take my order here.”
“Yes, Bellatrix.”

Shortly thereafter she placed an order for her staff where Bella was waiting for her. As time passed, dishes and bottles of alcohol appeared on the table in the private room. Many kinds of course dishes were constantly coming up, and just looking at them made my mouth water.

‘Everyone doesn’t fight and the atmosphere is good?’

The atmosphere at the table was very friendly throughout the meal.
From the moment I stuffed my stomach with something to eat, my lovers, who used to show off their beagle beauty, became surprisingly calm.

“I love you, Mr. Bugilma!”
“Belite! Belite!”
“K. What is Belite?”
“It’s a word used when praising Bugilma. Unnie also shouts quickly. Belite-!”

Indeed, nothing happened in the restaurant until after dinner.
It’s like Bella bought my lovers’ liking with money. By the time the meal was over, Rebecca and Kate had passed out from drunkenness.

“Huh! I’m dizzy from drinking too much.”
“It’s okay, everyone. I’ll drive you home in a carriage. You can get a good night’s sleep.”
“Then I’ll take a deep breath-. I hope you dream of the dreamer.”

I see lovers who lose their minds right away when they say they will give you a ride in a carriage.
It was up to those who were still awake to move them to the wagon.

“It’s time to get up. Let’s pick up the drunks and put them in the wagon. Kate can be taken to the church, and Rebecca can be taken to the inn?”
“Yes. You can leave Rebecca to me. Thank you for taking care of us until the end.”
“Thank you-. Maybe they will continue to be together. I have to take care of them in advance so that I won’t be scolded later. I want to make up for my hasty mistake in the wagon.”
“…Why is your sister being scolded by them?”

Is there any chance that Bugilma will be scolded by mediocre adventurers?
I wondered for a moment because I didn’t understand what he was talking about.
Just as I was about to notice something, Bella suddenly spoke to me.

“Luke-san, I thought I should get along with the party members.
“What are you planning to do?”
“It’s a secret for now- I’ll tell you later.”

Bella looked at me and let out her sweet smile.
It was a smile full of affection, as if her own sister was giving it to her little brother.
She’s a secret, and I almost shouted ‘Snowy aaaaa’ without even knowing it.

“Couldn’t Mr. Luke be friendly with her lovers?”
“Everyone, of course, if you’re friendly, I’m welcome.”
“That’s good. Huhu.”

With that, our conversation ended.
Me and Bella, along with Hannah, helped the lovers, loaded them into the wagon, and sent them back to their respective homes.

Bella smiled broadly as we parted in front of her inn.
Like a cheetah just starting to run.

“See you next time. If I have another good request, I’ll call Mr. Luke. Oh, and when I have time, I’ll call my lovers to the office, so don’t be surprised if I suddenly show up. I’m calling to get to know my lovers.”
“…You can do whatever you want.”

Rebecca and Kate.
Bella’s words about wanting to be close to my lovers weren’t just words.

The very next day, Bella called her lovers into the office and launched a furious gift barrage.
She said as she let out her characteristic deep smile.
