Chapter 227 – Joint Quests and Containment (7)

Rebecca’s eyebrows furrow as she arranges the ingredients on the long table in the kitchen.

“What’s the matter?”

“… See.”

Rebecca held up a piece of jerky.

“The texture is uneven and the color is muddy. If the grain is irregular, it means that it is made from ground meat, and if it is cloudy, it means that it is old. In terms of quality, I can tell you it’s not that great.”

“…”

“The quality of the spices used doesn’t seem to be very good either. No matter how rough the diet of adventurers is, this is…”

Rebecca put down the jerky, tore on some bread, and sighed.

“Please tell me about food problems from now on. I will make preparations on my side.”

Mmm. He seemed to understand a little bit of Rebecca’s feelings about her when she complained that the holy sword was something she couldn’t eat. It’s very embarrassing that the prepared food is of poor quality.

“Oh, that, yes. Should I give you money?”

“You don’t have to. Thanks to Eugene, I was able to finance the mansion sufficiently.”

“No, just because you sold some slime, can you afford it?”

At my question, Rebecca flinched slightly.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Besides that slime, there are other sources of funding coming in.”

“Hmm…”

Does the money come from anywhere else? If so, wouldn’t she have had to go to the bank? For some reason, I felt that way.

“Ah! Gone! Gone! What’s this!!!!!!”

“…”

Noisy holy sword guy. This guy is making a fuss that he dropped her cotton candy on his portion of yogurt and milk mixture, and it melted away.

Of course, I didn’t drop it because the holy sword was stupid. It’s just that he still doesn’t quite understand that when he eats something, he stiffens or passes out.

…That sounds like an idiot.

“It didn’t disappear, it melted and mixed. You will know once you eat it.”

“…Five? Oh clothes?!”

…

After such a little noisy dinner. The holy sword had gone to Niel, and it was time for the rest of us to drink tea after dinner.

“Well. Well. Mmm.”

The time finally came for the most important task of the day, but there was only silence.

The reason is? It’s obvious. It’s because I haven’t decided who to buff today.

I can’t help it. At times like this, I’ll have to step up as the party leader.

For the dream 4p!

“Hmm. Shall we all do it together?”

“Yes?!” “What are you talking about?!”

As expected, such a violent reaction even though the subject was omitted. You guys were thinking the same thing! But the backlash is substantial.

I immediately started wiping my mouth.

“No, you have to stay inside the dungeon from tomorrow. Of course, they would apply amplification inside, but since it’s a dungeon, you don’t know what will happen. There comes a situation where you can’t pitch a tent, a situation where you can’t sleep, or something…Something dangerous. That, so we all do it all at once to update buffs…”

To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my logic, but when I see women’s eyes widening, I naturally lose my voice.

“Whoa. Mr. Eugene. Ah, no matter how much amplification is applied, to be with all of them at once… It’s not good to be decadent like that.”

“Yes, it’s not like I have multiple bodies. While you’re doing it, someone else is sucking your finger next to you? Ah, no matter how many women there are, aren’t they thinking too much of themselves?”

“Hmm. I can understand your purpose, but I still feel a bit reluctant to show my naked body to anyone other than you.”

“…”

Each of them hit me with a word. Of course, if you think about it rationally, I’m right, but sex has to be approached emotionally…. They say they don’t like each other, but what can I do? Still…

“Then what do you do?”

“…”

Silence falls again.

“Oh, because Yuri did it yesterday. It is my turn today.”

“Ugh… “

Yuri seemed to have nothing to say. Well, to say it’s your turn today after staying out all night yesterday would be a prick of conscience no matter how glassy you are. However, it was Ariel who struck her unexpectedly.

“This side is the one that needs to be amplified the most.”

“Yes?”

Ariel took a sip of tea and continued with a slightly serious voice.

“Didn’t you say that you promised a future and even received a ring? So, is there no need to be impatient anymore? I wonder if it would be okay if I ask for a little concession.”

Five. Don’t you usually say that since you’ve been given the ring, I can’t meddle? Now that you’ve received the ring, you want me to give it up? What logic is this?

Yuri pouted her lips to see if I was the only one who felt that way.

“Why us?”

“Was it not you who agreed to the reverse engineering of the amplification?”

“You said you didn’t know before that? You said you wouldn’t be affected by magic detection.”

“I didn’t even think from the beginning that I would be able to find out at once. Did you really think it would be that easy?”

Tense quarrel. We have no intention of conceding to each other…!

But Ariel still had one more weapon left.

“Above all, this side is constantly draining Niel’s mana. No, since the amplification has already disappeared, there is nothing more to escape. Even at this moment, Niel’s condition must be getting worse in real time. I hope she will renew her amplification as soon as possible.”

“… Niel-san was cursed? If so, shouldn’t you just do it to Niel?”

Yuri’s question was valid. Actually, I was thinking about that too, but somehow it kept putting it off…

However, Ariel gave an unexpected answer.

“Iza has an overly aggressive side, so I think it will be possible only after Niniel recovers his physical strength to her to some extent. In fact, I even stopped breathing once.”

“What?!” “Yes?!”

“Me, not me!”

To the surprise of the two, I reacted quickly.

“It’s not my mistake! This guy did it without any preparation!”

“…That was my mistake. But besides that, I lost my mind several times. I’m afraid that Niel will be a fortune teller.”

“… ” “… “

“Anyway, for Niel’s sake, I’d like you to renew the amplification right away.”

The two of them seemed to have nothing to say as they tripped Niel.

“Then it’s our turn today.”

“…I need to talk to you again after I go to the dungeon.”

“Okay.”

“…”

Weird.

I was talking about choosing my bed, how come it wasn’t me deciding it? Where are my human rights? Is this Harem’s karma?

# # #

I returned to my room and lost myself in thought.

Ariel, you didn’t show much expression, but did you actually reveal it quite a bit? The last time I went to the bank, the tone seemed to be subtly urging me. No, in fact, wasn’t it just that guy’s design that made her take me to her bank at that time?

-Smart.

“Come in.”

I thought you were coming early. I thought you’d already come After all, this guy is quite revealing…

“Yes?”

“Look at me for a second.”

Unexpectedly, it was Rebecca who opened the door and entered. What else do you want me to do?

Rebecca opened her mouth first as I looked at her questioningly.

“I heard that Ariel-sama and you are going to join us today.”

“Okay. By the way?”

Rebecca shuts her mouth for a moment, then she frowns slightly and looks at me.

“I don’t know if you know it, but Eugene-nim tends to get overexcited.”

I was trying to get a little annoyed. Why are you bringing up a story that has already ended?

“No, that’s what I said last time. It’s because he took it down on his own…”

“Even if it wasn’t necessary, he said that he passed out several times after that. It is definitely a burden.”

“…Therefore? Do you want me to groan at you? Or are you going to monitor me?”

She knew herself that her horse her was thorny, but she could n’t help it.

This guy is too meddling. No matter how much you say it’s family, isn’t it too much to tell other people what to do in bed?

Rebecca, perhaps aware that I was angry, rolled her eyes in an uncharacteristic way. Then stutter to the end.

“I-I… “

“Yes?”

Rebecca bit her lip.

“…Relieve it with my body first.”

“What?!”
