Chapter 223 – Episode 223 – Date!

◈

Melissa and I settled down and rested.

There were slimes passing by, but the slimes, which never attacked first, did not interfere with their rest.

After some time, we took out our lunch boxes and started eating.

While eating the lunch box, the slime could approach and annoy me, so I spread a translucent barrier with my mana weapon in advance.

While we were eating lunch together, Melissa asked me.

“Hey, Rant. How long are you planning on being an adventurer?”

“Until when?”

“Yeah. Shouldn’t you retire someday?”

“I’m retired… It’s only been a month since I’ve been active, so I can’t feel it.”

“Well… Besides, I’ll be getting an S rank soon. Sorry, I guess I was too hasty.”

“You don’t have to apologize, Melissa. After all, it’s true that I will have to retire someday.”

Retirement.

When and at what age will I retire?

At first, I thought about retiring and having children, but when I think about it calmly, my strength will last forever.

Then I don’t think it’s bad to have a child after having some economic power.

I thought about it the other day, but I have to earn money eventually.

With my skills, I’ll be able to get material for the very low level monsters, so I won’t have to worry about money.

“But I also think I’m pretty far from retiring.”

“Okay…”

“Why did you ask this?”

“That, that… Shouldn’t Rant and have a child after all?”

“Yes.”

“Then, if Rant is busy going to the dungeon, he won’t be able to see the child well. I hope the child sees his father’s face his a lot.

“Balm…”

Melissa had a similar problem with me.

That’s already worrying about parenting!

Rather than being impatient, I was very happy that he was thinking of my future like that.

“Don’t worry. It’s still early days, so I’m going to the dungeon hard… But if I go downstairs, the number of times will probably decrease.”

There’s no problem with me, but if you deal with strong monsters, even the three of them will get tired and will need a recovery period.

“Really?”

“Yeah. Besides, materials for monsters that go downstairs and catch them are sold at a high price, so there should be plenty of money.”

“Money… I think I still have plenty of room.”

The money I earned now will melt away later when Elsina, Noah, and Niña reach A rank.

Adventurer’s equipment really has a huge inflation gap.

This body is enough for me, but the three of us need proper equipment.

“More is better later, right?”

“That’s right. Hmm… The lunch made by Miranda-san is delicious as expected.”

“Is it not?”

“Besides… The lance gun is decorated in the shape of a heart.”

I can feel the taste of Melissa’s love her, so it’s even more delicious.

“Ahaha…”

“… I also learned to cook from my mother, but there is absolutely nothing for me to do.”

“Huh? Melissa, did you learn to cook?”

“… Yes. I want to make it for Rant later.”

Learned to cook for me.

That is, I applied for bridal lessons from Aunt Telisha for me.

“Balm…”

Emotions are running high.

“I want to eat the food Melissa made.”

“Mi, not as good as Miranda-san.”

“I still want to eat.”

“…I’ll do it next time.”

“Yes, I’ll look forward to it.”

“Hey, don’t expect it.”

As she said that, Melissa was messing with her hair, blushing.

I look forward to it very much.

◈

After her lunch, this time I gave Melissa a pillow for her lap her.

“… I thought it would be hard, but it’s surprisingly comfortable to lie on.”

“Really? Thank goodness.”

My lap pillow was well received.

“Will Melissa bury her face in my thigh?”

“No, pervert.”

Saying that, Melissa lay down on her side, looking toward my stomach.

“…”

Melissa calmly looked at my stomach her and then she reached inside my clothes her and she touched my belly.

I knew how to go on a normal date with Melissa in the first place, so I didn’t even wear her leather armor in her, so now I’m in casual clothes.

Question question question

Melissa kept rubbing her belly without saying anything.

“Balm?”

“… Rant’s belly is hard. And it’s properly split.”

“Isn’t it creepy?”

These are my muscles, once called a muscle pig by Melissa for being disgusting.

“Yeah… I used to be gross, but now… I think it’s cool. Should I say manly?

Melissa touched my stomach with one hand and ran her hair with the other.

I touched Melissa’s hair together, gently holding her hand her as it touched her hair her.

“Rant?”

“Melissa’s hands her… Are soft. Her hair her is also flowing.”

“What, what is it all of a sudden?”

“Melissa complimented my muscles, so I complimented her Melissa on her good points.”

“Ah, is that so? But it’s not a very good point. Her hands are probably softer than those of adventurers… And when it comes to wavy hair, Nina-san is better…”

Niña-san’s flashiness is a hybrid race that mixes the strengths of an elf and a succubus.

“I don’t think Melissa isn’t behind enough?”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

Charangi wants to rub his cock her with her hair and cum.

Will you allow me

I don’t know how to do it, but I have a feeling Melissa will stare at me with bitter eyes later.

“… Hey, Rant.”

“Why?”

“Can I touch you a little more?”

“You can touch it until you get tired of it.”

“…Thank you.”

Question question question

While Melissa kept rubbing my belly.

Smack

I stroked Melissa’s hair.

“…”

Melissa blushed and was embarrassed, but she didn’t say anything and she continued to rub her against my stomach.

Such a sweet time continued to pass.

◈

Satisfied with touching each other’s healthy bodies, we walked leisurely back to the warp device.

Back on the ground, it was time to stop by the restaurant.

“Melissa, let’s go to a restaurant.”

“Restaurant? Isn’t it early for dinner yet?”

“I told you, I should ask for an Orc Champion Steak.”

“Ah, it was.”

I went to Kevin’s restaurant with Melissa.

“Mr. Kevin.”

“Ah, Mr. Rant! Welcome! Come on, come on over here! Oh, is the lady there with you? Then come along!”

Me and Melissa were led to the kitchen by Mr. Kevin.

In the kitchen, besides Kevin, other cooks were staring at me with bright eyes.

It looked like he wanted to cook the Orc Champion’s meat as soon as possible.

“I’ll take it out.”

I took out 16 pieces of Orc Champion meat right away because I thought it would make more delicious food if I took it out immediately when the tension was high.

“Please make 12 servings today. The restaurant will take care of the rest.”

“Ohhh! The meat of an orc champion!”

“Never thought I’d see this again in almost a month!”

“Look at this marbling! It’s so fantastic!”

“Thank you, Mr. Rant. The dish should be ready in an hour and a half, so would you like to wait in the common room?”

“What do you want, Melissa?”

“Hmm… I want to go to the Adventurer’s Guild one more time.”

“Okay? Kevin, then I’ll be back in an hour and a half.”

“Yes, Mr. Rant!”

◈

I returned to the Adventurer’s Guild with Melissa.

“Let’s sit here.”

Melissa went to an empty table in the Adventurer’s Guild and sat down, and I sat across from her.

“Why did you want to come back to the Adventurer’s Guild?”

“It’s a place where Rant and everyone else always come and go. I wanted to take a closer look.”

“Did you?”

“Yeah. I stopped by for a short while in the morning. There were plenty of them in the dungeon. This time, I want to take a look at the guild.”

“Aren’t you bored?”

“So many people come in and out.

I’m sure it’s me, only accepting requests right away, but… Come to think of it, aren’t we the only party who only accept requests in the morning and spend most of the day in dungeons?

When I looked around, I could see adventurers everywhere using the bar corner, chatting, or exchanging information even without a request.

Hmm, looking at it this way, I feel that our party is only in dungeons.

Lately, I’ve been taking a break twice a week, but there’s no need to be in such a hurry unless you’re in an F rank where living expenses are urgent.

Of course, it might be because the dungeon raid speed is fast thanks to my muscle carriage, but…

Also, let’s increase the rest time in the future.

By the way, what are you doing watching people here?

“Melissa, I’m still watching you, so shall we eat something like a snack?”

“Huh? Yeah, sure. Lant, do you have anything to snack on here?”

“Actually, I haven’t been in the guild for a long time other than receiving requests.”

I pointed my thumb at the bar corner counter behind me.

“I’m going to go and ask.”

“… Hasn’t it been over a month since you became an adventurer? Have you only been accepting requests?”

“Yes.”

“I’m not an adventurer, so I don’t know… Aren’t the Rant’s too preoccupied with dungeons?”

Haha, I’ve been thinking that way too lately, so I thought of extending the days off a bit. Besides… If the days off increase, the time I spend with Melissa increases.”

“…Joe, that’s a good idea.”

Melissa felt embarrassed as she touched her hair on her.

Said Melissa as she got up and was about to go to the counter at the corner of her bar.

“Oh, wait. Hey there.”

Melissa spoke to the adventurer’s guild waitress who was passing us by.

“Yes, what are you doing?”

“Do you have anything to eat here for a snack?”

“Is it a snack? Then…”

The waitress has something to eat as a snack.

In other words, we have listed a few types of simple side dishes.

Melissa picked out one of them to her liking her.

“Okay. Then please wait a moment.”

The waitress took our order and walked straight to the counter.

“You can do this without having to go directly.”

“Ahaha, that’s right.”

And the snacks arrived shortly thereafter.

“Bon appetite.”

What came as a snack was something that looked like a simple stir-fried peanut.

Melissa picked up a peanut, crunched it, and chewed it.

“… The one my mom made for my dad tastes better.”

“Okay?”

“Yeah, but not bad.”

Bit by bit, Melissa continued to eat the peanuts.

I also ate peanuts.

I tried it when I had a drinking party the other day, but it’s not a bad taste that I think is good for a snack.

Melissa continued to look around the adventurer’s guild.

“Really… So many people are doing adventurers.”

“Because this is the city of adventurers.”

“… There are many people who are bold in their clothes.”

“Amanda-san said it. Once she develops her skills to a certain level, she wears the fashion she wants. Aren’t all the adventurers over there like that? Melissa likes pretty clothes, too.”

The culture shock when I first came and the first time I thought I was fortunate to have come was when I saw many adventurers in sexy costumes.

“That’s true… But just because you’re pretty doesn’t mean you’re showing all your flesh like that… Are most adventurer women open-minded?”

“Well?”

Niña-san, originally, she likes men’s eyes, so she wears such sensational and cheesy outfits, but what about other female adventurers?

Listening to Melissa’s words, she realized that strangely, the higher the rank of female adventurer, the higher the level of exposure she felt.

Maybe you have a problem like this?

I’m good at it, but I like it so much that it’s good as a colleague, but as a wife… Fear of becoming an old virgin due to the spread of awareness, and stressful female adventurers deliberately choose clothes with a high living area to seduce men!

If you’re a female adventurer enough to care about that, your income should be stable.

Even ordinary people are fine.

Even an adventurer of a lower rank than himself is fine.

I’ll feed you, so take one!

With such a feeling, the female adventurers who tremble with anxiety at the state of being an old virgin did not choose to do anything!

When I looked at it, it was a very desperate and sad delusion.

Before heading back to Mr. Kevin’s restaurant, Melissa continued to look around her adventurer’s guild without getting tired of it.

After all, does Melissa want to be an adventurer?

Time passed quickly because it was fun just to see Melissa looking at the guild with interest.
