Chapter 35 – Guild Escort Quest #9

“Ask?”
“Don’t you remember? When we decided to make a fixed party, we set a rule. If you ask me more than ten questions. In return, ask for a light favor.”
“A light request…? Oh, there was such a thing.”

Rebecca pulled something out of her arms.
Upon closer inspection, it was five copper coins.

“Hey, you can’t-“
“I’ll pay the fine here.”

Unstoppable year.
Are you thinking of paying the fine right away without listening to people?
Of course, Rebecca didn’t want to toss the coin right away, so she just stared at me with one coin between her fingers.
I have no choice but to be careful because I have the momentum to throw and bounce.

“Hey, it’s Rebecca. It’s a waste of money. If you use it really sparingly, five coppers can cover two days’ worth of meals.”
“That’s right, but I’m prepared to pay for something strange. Isn’t this going to a fixed party public money anyway?”
“I have no trust in my party members…”

As I put on a gloomy expression, Rebecca put her hands behind his back and hid the coin in his hand behind him.
As if to let me in for a moment, she opened her mouth.

“So what do you want me to ask for?”
“Shall we change seats? There are a lot of people watching here.”
“Huh, I’m worried about people’s eyes.”

I moved a few steps to the place where the building of the public bath was casting a shadow. It was surrounded by buildings, so it was a place where people’s eyes did not reach. I took Rebecca and stopped her at an appropriate point.

“What the hell do you want to do?”

I cleared my throat and opened my mouth.

“Can you stand still for just five minutes? Of course, as long as your feet are still, you can move your hands.”
“Is it okay if I just stay still?”

Rebecca looked at me questioningly. When she said I allowed her to use her hand, it meant that she could restrain my movements if the need came. With her athletic body, it would be easy to restrain me.

“Yes.”

At my answer, Rebecca put a mischievous smile on her lips.
She poses with her palms raised in front of her. She poses as if she is preparing for a palm slap game she often did when she was young.

“You know what? In our kingdom, there’s a game called push-pump. It’s a game in which each other uses only their palms to push the opponent. I’ve never lost a push-pump game.”

It is similar to the palm slap game that children play on Earth.
After all, people seem to think the same no matter where they live.
So fuck, are you saying you’re going to push me away if I do something weird?

“If you do anything strange, I’ll push you.”

It really seemed like a wheat idea. Rebecca swayed flexibly around her waist and pretended to slap her palm.
It’s sarcastic when she sticks her tongue out as she stares at me.
But I was confident.
As long as I don’t move her feet, I feel confident that I can lead Rebecca to my will.

“What is it? Why is your expression so relaxed?”
“I’m not confident. I’m not confident I’ll lose to you. I’m going to count from now on, so just stay calm for 5 minutes.”
“…Yes.”

I stood face to face with Rebecca for a while. He stared at Rebecca’s face, not paying attention to the palm of his hand. What I did next was very simple. Approaching Rebecca slowly, as if taking a walk, she reached her hand behind her.

“You, you! Trying to attack me…!”
“I have no intention of attacking you.”

I hugged Rebecca.
He held Rebecca’s waist with one hand and cupped her back with the other.
With light pressure, I made Rebecca lean against her body.

“What, what are you doing-“

Rebecca, who was watching her, didn’t seem to have any intention of pushing her right now.
It wasn’t something that touched sensitive areas.
I’m just hugging Rebecca.

“Hug.”

A close hug that only lovers would do.
Rebecca’s plump breasts pressed against mine as her posture tilted.
Rebecca gave out a panicked voice as she cradled herself in my arms.

“Hug?”
“Just holding each other silently. Wouldn’t this be just fine? Say it’s okay even if it’s not okay. Please-.”
“…Ugh.”
“I’ve always wanted to do it when I dated a girl. Holding each other gently like this. Of course, you and I aren’t like that, but we can play lightly. Lovers’ games.”

I meant it.
Because hugging is one of the things I really want to do if I ever find a lover. They didn’t do anything particularly naughty, they just hugged each other warmly. It was a request that could satisfy my shady desire without being too radical.

“If that’s the intention, then what…”

Rebecca didn’t seem to have much objection. Come to think of it, she once learned how to comfort herself from me. She had been educated with such a culture shock that she would accept a simple hug.

“It’s a lover’s game…”

Rebecca’s cheeks turned red when she said it was a lover’s game.
Rebecca carefully reached out and hugged me.
From that moment on, I was able to relax and enjoy a hug with Rebecca.

As I buried my head in her red hair, her nice scent wafted out. Her Rebecca’s hair was slightly damp, probably because she had just come out of her bath. She could smell a thicker, sweeter fruity scent than she had ever smelled before.
Then, suddenly, Rebecca shuddered.

“Sah, people are watching here-.”
“Therefore?”
“Everyone is smiling while looking at this place…”

She seemed to know what Rebecca was talking about without even looking back. No matter how shady the place was, this place was close to the pouring crowds. There could have been one or two people who happened to be snooping around and saw me and Rebecca.

“If you’re shy, there’s a way. I think you’re playing lovers too. Just like me, use your imagination to the fullest. Imagine that there’s not an incubus messing with you, but a handsome guy who suits your taste.”
“Hey, so you’re thinking of someone other than me?”
“It can’t be. Anyway, that’s what the horse is saying.”

Rebecca’s trembling at my advice subsided.
Five minutes passed by like a lightning bolt.

“Huh.”

Rebecca held me for a while, then she somehow buried her head in my shoulder for some reason.
She thought it was pretty cute how she bowed her head like a docile lamb. How nice it would be if you were always so calm.

By now, 5 minutes were over.
As promised, I let Rebecca go.
Since she had asked for a hug, she had no intention of doing anything higher than that.
But strangely, Rebecca did not let go of her hand that held me.
Are you mistaking the time?

“Five minutes are over.”
“I know-.”
“Let go if you know. I’ll go see the dwarves.”
“Sorry. I suddenly lost interest, so I don’t have to watch.”
“Yes?”

I tilted my head at Rebecca’s words.
Didn’t you come out of the inn to see the dwarves?
I couldn’t make out Rebecca’s expression as she had her head buried in my shoulder.
Rebecca continued to speak with her face buried.

“You said this was a lover’s game, right?”
“Right.”
“Playing is something we do together. Since you asked me for a hug, I have something I want to ask you too. There’s something I’ve always wanted to do.”

What right do you have to me?
She stopped her tongue as she was about to say this.
It was because I suddenly wondered what Rebecca would ask of me.
If this girl is asking for anything, it’s probably going to end up as a play house at best. Still, isn’t there such a thing as anticipation?

Rebecca raised her head abruptly and looked at me.
The tip of her nose was slightly red.

“I want to kiss you.”
“Kiss?”

Five-.
At this moment, expectations were exceeded and they broke through the ceiling.
I never thought it would have been a kiss to ask for as an excuse to play lovers.
It is an act that boasts a high level of intensity that is different from hugging.
No but damn, is what I just heard true?
This headstrong girl asking me for a kiss?

“I’ve been curious since the old days. Why the hell couples kiss each other. To me, it just seems suffocating. If you’re playing lovers, I want to check that out first.”
“Is it real?”

The love affair, which was only a simple excuse, seemed to have pushed a certain switch in Rebecca’s head.
Rebecca looked right at me, feigning her nonchalance.

It’s funny, but me and Rebecca had never kissed before.
There were times when we touched each other’s skin, and there were times when we taught each other to masturbate, but we never actually kissed.
I don’t think that’s a bad request.
If we practice kissing together, it will surely be of great help when recharging mana.

“Stay still, Luke.”

Rebecca walked slowly towards me with her hand raised as if she were going to eat her.
She was the one who used eccentric poses to hide her shyness, but she wasn’t afraid at all.
Rather, the clumsy mimicry of catching and eating is just funny.

Jjook.
Rebecca kissed me lightly on her lips.
I caught a glimpse of the touch of her plump lips, then it disappeared.
A light kiss, like a bird pecking lightly with its beak.
I looked at Rebecca with a puzzled expression as she parted her lips in an instant.

“Could this be the end? Is it a kiss that we kissed for a while and then parted?”
“Noisy, idiot. I’ll try again.”

I don’t think this was the kiss she intended.
Certainly, if it was a kiss between lovers, it wouldn’t be this light.
Rebecca hesitated for a moment before she came back and kissed her on the lips.

This time, with Rebecca’s lips slightly open, she pinched mine and kissed her bitingly. It was quite pleasant to feel the tickling sensation on her lips.
As it is, I could use my strength to mix my tongue, but I didn’t bother.
Taking the lead on Rebecca’s side is really rare.
Even if it’s frustrating and clumsy, I want to watch it.
Besides, the feeling of standing still and being kissed by Rebecca is awesome.
It feels like being served by an aristocratic lady.

Eventually Rebecca managed to stick her tongue into my lips. Her tongue clumsily tickled my tongue. It was pricked by her conscience to let her move alone any longer, so I moved her tongue in line with her actions.

Actually, like a virgin incubus, it was my first kiss.
I didn’t know what it felt like until now.
But Rebecca is playing hard with her tongue in front of me, so I feel a sense of pleasure.
It was an inexperienced tongue movement, but it felt more erotic than any AV kiss I’ve ever seen.

“Sigh.”

After a while, me and Rebecca ended up kissing. A thin thread of saliva ran between her lips and mine. I found the kiss unbearably satisfying, but Rebecca didn’t seem to like it.

“Ha, let’s try one more time-.”
“Are you going to do it again?”
“I’m not sure yet.”

Rebecca was asking me with a red face.
It was a shame to say it, but there was no way I could refuse. The moment I said yes, Rebecca kissed me again. This time she’s a little deeper, more often with her tongue. As time went by, Rebecca’s kissing seemed to get better little by little.

It’s been a long time since I forgot about going to see the dwarves.
It made me think that dwarfs like that would be fine in front of Keith. Me and Rebecca continued kissing until late afternoon.
Then, suddenly, I realized an important fact.

“Rebecca.”
“Uh, huh? Why-?”

Rebecca sighs heavily.
We don’t even know what happened to us right now.
We kissed for a long time, so it must be crazy.

“Mana has increased.”
“What?”
“My mana is recharged because of the kiss we both had. Can’t you feel it?”
“Ah-.”

Only then did Rebecca realize the changes that had taken place in her own body.
She must have noticed by now that a warm aura had increased in her body. It was a much smaller amount than her full-fledged mana charge, but mana clearly increased every time they kissed. However, her kiss had a great advantage that was incomparable to that of the original show. It’s something you can do outdoors without too much trouble.

During a quest or something-.
I grabbed Rebecca’s shoulder with an excited expression.

“We can now recharge our mana even outside. That’s why. Let’s increase mana by kissing once a day. It’s a waste not to do anything during the quest.”
“Ha, once a day…?”
“Why? Do you think it will be difficult?”

Rebecca shook her head hastily.
She lowered her head, unable to meet her gaze, with her neck flushed red.

“It’s not like that…”
“What if that’s not the case?”

Rebecca held up two of her fingers instead of speaking.

“Is it okay to do it twice?”
“…No.”

Then why are her two fingers spread out?
I thought for a moment, then opened my mouth again with an expression of disbelief.

“Could it be more than once?”
“…Yes.”

It was correct.
Reached the correct answer.

‘Oh, sheck.’

I was so shocked that I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
Is it okay to try magic recharge more than twice a day?
Rebecca seemed to like the act of kissing more than she thought.
She, who always hit her iron wall, was opening her heart in this part.
What the hell made him feel good?
Did you like the word lover’s game?

After that, I kissed Rebecca and her even right before entering the hostel.
This time it was a request from me, but Rebecca obediently nodded her head and accepted her kiss.

The moment when, while kissing, I pulled her waist hard and pressed her body closely.
I inadvertently realized.

The fact that Rebecca’s nipples, felt through the fabric, were hardened.
It’s never an illusion.
With her body tightly pressed against her, I couldn’t help but feel the hardened nipples even if I didn’t want to be conscious of it.
As I fell, I rubbed the tip of my chest, and at that moment, a weak moan flowed out.

“Ha ha.”
