Chapter 359 – Episode 359-Request Consultation!
◈-Lenny SIDE
Lant-sama and Jason’s sparring.
I didn’t see it because I had to stay at the reception desk.
Listening to the voices of other adventurers, it was expected that a sight tremendous would unfold.
Almost all the adventurers in the adventurer’s guild went to the training ground, and seeing the empty adventurer’s guild, I was able to calmly think to myself.
My attitude toward Mr. Rant who returned from the dungeon.
That is clearly the wrong attitude.
Rant-sama has his own schedule.
Dinner with me today is nothing more than that schedule.
Besides, what I’m going to talk about today is just a story about a request.
Why today… Yeah, it’s not like I decided to ask Rant-sama.
Besides, I’m not even Rant-sama’s lover.
But to be in a bad mood and show that kind of attitude…
“Ha…”
I was pathetic to myself.
After Rant returned from the training ground, he continued to sit at the table.
To be honest, I can’t concentrate on work.
I inadvertently look at Rant-sama.
But Mr. Rant didn’t look at me, he just stared blankly at the request board and sipped the juice in his hand.
Any… Can’t you see me, Mr. Rant?
In addition… I was starting to get irritable.
And Melissa-sama also left, and Lant-sama really waited until I was finished.
I finished the rest of my office work and walked to Mr. Rant’s side.
As soon as I approached, Mr. Rant turned to me and asked if I had finished the task with a very happy face.
Seeing that face… The annoyance that I had felt had somehow started to dissipate.
“Ha…”
Lately, it seems like my heart has gone through so many ups and downs that I involuntarily sighed.
“Mr. Lenny?”
“Rant-nim, didn’t you say I’d come and find you even if you didn’t wait here?”
“Ah, but I still want to have dinner with Lenny-san…”
I was happy to hear that you would spend time with me as soon as possible. However…
“… I also need time to dress up.”
In the first place, you can’t eat together wearing this guild staff uniform.
“Ah, that’s right.”
It was enough to ask Rant-sama to wait at the inn again.
But how?
Words came out that were different from what I had thought.
“… Would you like to follow me?”
“Yes!”
I take Rant-sama, who responds lively, and I… I went to the dormitory where I was staying.
“Here…”
“This is a dormitory for guild staff where I live. … I will prepare it soon, so please wait.”
“Yes, Mr. Lenny.”
I went straight into the room and tried to wash myself first.
However, I realized that there is room for Lant-sama to wait longer, as it takes time to dry after washing.
Besides, now that I think about it, the content of the request I’m going to talk to Rant-sama is… In the end, the content is tantamount to me requesting that I want to have sex with Lant-sama.
Anything like that out there?
If you think about it coldly, you couldn’t enjoy such content while eating outside.
Then…
I looked around the room.
A room with nothing special.
If Rant-sama was summoned, there would be no problem…
“Ugh!”
The vibe I bought the other day that was placed on the bed caught my eye.
I immediately picked up the vibe and put it in a drawer.
This… It is something that should never be overlooked.
I looked around and saw a garbage bag in the corner of the room.
A garbage bag left in the room for a while because it wasn’t garbage collection day yet.
Fortunately, there were no problems with the contents.
Then…
I opened the door again.
In front of the door, Mr. Rant was standing still.
“Leni-san, it’s already over… Huh?”
Rant-sama was puzzled by my appearance, which had not changed at all.
“Lant-sama, I’m sorry. I’ve been thinking about various things…”
“Ah… Can’t you do it today?”
“No, that’s not it. But… That…”
I paused for a while.
Is it right to say this?
But when it comes to medical advice, there’s certainly no safer place than here.
“If you don’t mind, how about having dinner here?”
“Yes? You mean… In that, Le, Leni-san’s room?”
“…Yes.”
Lant-sama was taken aback and his face her turned a little red.
I thought that look was a little cute.
“Gwa, are you okay?”
“Yes, I… I’m fine. But I don’t have anything to eat right now… So I want to go to the market.”
◈
I am walking through the market with Rant.
Dinner in my room with Rant.
When I think about this sentence again, I really… I thought I was doing something bold.
But that doesn’t mean that the contents of such a request outside… It was very embarrassing.
I asked Lant-sama to wait in the room.
I thought that if it was Rant-sama, even if he was waiting in the room, he wouldn’t rush into the room.
But Rant said that he followed me even to the market… I can’t refuse and I’m walking like this.
Thinking of ending the market quickly, I went to a store that sells the lunch boxes I usually buy.
Adventurers usually come out of the dungeon at lunchtime to have a meal, but there are also people who buy lunch boxes to go to the next floor.
A bento shop for such adventurers.
I use this store often.
It’s not that I’m not confident in my housework skills, but due to the nature of my job, a boxed lunch is good for a quick meal in the late evening.
Recently, I could feel the eyes on me, so instead of stopping by the lunchbox, I bought ingredients in advance and immediately went back to the dormitory to cook a simple dish myself.
I was going to buy a regular lunchbox that I usually buy.
But Mr. Rant is an adventurer and he’s big.
So I bought one regular lunch box and a large-capacity lunch box for adventurers.
I bought a lunchbox and approached Lant-sama, and Lant-sama said.
“Lenny, do you usually eat lunch?”
“Ah…”
At that moment, Lant-sama’s words made me feel ashamed.
What would she do if Rant perceived her as a woman who only bought lunch boxes because she had no housekeeping skills? The thought of that filled my head.
“Rye, Mr. Rant! Of course, I usually eat lunch, but that’s because I usually eat late. I can do housework properly.”
It wasn’t something that Rant-sama specifically pointed out, but I hurriedly started making excuses.
“Ah, I guess. But if it was the lunch box, I would have paid for it.”
“No, I can pay this much. Let’s go back.”
I went back to the dormitory with Mr. Rant.
And… I brought Rant-sama into the room.
If you think about it… This is the first time a man has been brought into a room.
“This is Leni-san’s room…”
Mr. Rant looks around my room.
“You, please don’t look too closely, Mr. Rant.”
“Oh, sorry.”
I put the lunch I bought on the table.
“… Lant-sama, please wait a moment, I will… Wash myself.”
“Yes!?”
Mr. Rant opens her eyes wide in resentment.
I could have predicted how my words sounded to Mr. Rant.
“Gye, I’m going to wash because I’m still outside. I don’t mean anything else.”
“That’s right? I’m sorry.”
“No, I know I’ve made some misleading remarks.”
I walked towards the drawer and tried to get a change of clothes.
And then I realized something significant.
The facilities of this hostel are quite good.
There is a temperature control magic tool hanging on the wall that emits cold and warm air, and there is also a small refrigerator.
That’s why you don’t have to be particular about the type of clothes indoors.
When it gets chilly or suddenly hot, I only choose outing clothes, but I buy indoor clothes with almost the same design.
My dressing style is to the point of wearing just underwear with a dress shirt.
In other words…
The only pants to cover the bottom are street clothes.
In this case, it is enough to wear a skirt for going out and call it indoor clothes.
There is such a simple solution.
But how?
I don’t have that option right now.
A room with Rant-sama alone.
What I want to talk about… The contents of the consultation, like an excuse Lant-sama came up with to seduce me.
And a body that hasn’t been satisfied for days.
All factors were now trying to make me behave strangely.
“… Mr. Rant.”
“Yes.”
“Would you please look back until I’m finished washing? That’s… Embarrassing.”
“Ah yes!”
I hear Lant-sama stepping back.
As usual, I took out only my shirt and underwear and went into the bathroom.
After taking off the clothes you are wearing and washing yourself…
I washed my body and wore only a shirt and shorts as usual.
I put the clothes I took off in the laundry basket and covered them with a towel so Lant couldn’t see them.
“You may turn around now.”
“Yes… Huh!? Re-Mr. Reni!?”
Rant-sama, who turned around, opened his eyes wide and was very surprised.
And when he saw me, his face turned very red.
When paid… It was different from the way he took control of me.
No wonder… It was fun to see Rant-sama bewildered.
“Yes, Mr. Rant. Are you having any problems?”
“No, rather than a problem…”
“I usually wear a dressing gown like this… So please forgive me.”
“Yes Yes…”
Mr. Rant, who stirred my heart like that when we had a relationship like that, is so embarrassed by my behavior.
“… Lant-sama, is it okay if you don’t wash?”
“Yes?”
“If you don’t mind, please use the bathroom. Travel clothes…”
“Oh, it’s in the inventory.”
“Then it’s fortunate. Rant-sama won too, so wash up.”
“Yes Yes…”
Lant went into the bathroom.
I hear the sound of water coming out of the shower head.
Lant-sama’s puzzled face came to mind again.
Thanks to Mr. Rant, my uncomfortable feeling seemed to be getting better.
Mr. Rant washed him and came out of the bathroom.
Rant’s outfit was not the usual green leather armor, but ordinary everyday clothes.
Mr. Rant sat across from me.
But he had such a troubled expression that he didn’t know where to look.
“Lant-sama, let’s eat.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Lenny.”
Me and Lant started to eat lunch while facing each other at a low table that was comfortable to sit and eat.
“…Hey, Lenny-san.”
“Yes, why?”
“That… Why do you eat here instead of outside? If it was outside, I would have bought you something delicious.”
“Lant-sama. What you’re going to talk to me about… In the end, it’s about me having sex with Lant-sama. But… It’s a bit difficult to talk about such things outside.”
“Wouldn’t it have been better to say it around a bit so that it would be difficult for other people to understand? Whether you are willing to request a request, when you request a request, or something like that… “
“Oops!”
Certainly he was right.
Mr. Rant is not an idiot either.
There is no way to do it outside so that other people can understand it.
For a moment I felt ashamed of myself.
But I didn’t want Rant-sama to find out about it.
“Even so… It’s embarrassing to talk about it outside.”
“Ah, I guess so. Sorry, I’m out of ideas.”
“… No. After all, I was the one who accepted Lant-sama’s invitation to eat.”
After that, Rant-sama and I silently ate lunch without talking too much.
After I finished eating my lunch, I collected the leftover trash and put it in the trash, then I looked at Lant again and asked,
“Lant-nim, then… Let’s talk about the request.”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Lenny.”
Originally, I should have been more embarrassed.
Right now, Mr. Rant is at a loss.
That’s really weird… I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Pooh.”
“Mr. Lenny?”
“I’m sorry. It’s nothing. Rant, please start talking.”
“Ah yes.”
Rant-sama caught all the expressions and just like that time… He told me with a face that showed his will to do it again with me when he held my hand when we parted.
“Then, I’ll get straight to the point. Mr. Lenny… Would you like to do it again with me?”
Direct question from Rant.
To that question, I…
