Chapter 528 – Chapter 528-Am I Pretty?

◈

When it was lunchtime, I entered the restaurant used by the guild staff with Rant and Lenny.

After taking out the lunch box Miranda had packed for me, I asked Rant.

“So what happened? Are you planning to conquer not only the succubus but also the elven window?”

“That, that’s…”

“Hey, Melissa-sama, Lant-sama is also a man, and if you think of Lant-sama’s energy, if you scold him for going to the window… “

Mr. Lenny tries to side with Rant.

Of course I know that too.

“I know that, Mr. Lenny.”

But that’s not what’s important.

“But it doesn’t feel good when you hear it yourself, right? Lenny-san, do you like Rant sleeping with other women?”

“I-I… If Rant-sama would love me as usual…♡”

“…”

Ah, if Lenny is completely enamored with Lant and loved, then it’s a good thing.

… I’m in no position to say anything for allowing me to go to the succubus opening party because I wanted to continue having sex.

Still, I have to ask.

“Rant.”

“Yes!”

“…How was it?”

“How was it?”

“Did you like doing it with the owner of the Elf Sorcerer named Millia… ?”

“That, that’s…”

“Tell me honestly.”

“It felt good!”

“…Okay.”

Well, of course it is.

No matter what anyone says, he’s the owner of the elven storehouse.

If it’s an elf, you’re with a really pretty species like Gracia or Niña, right?

Besides, the owner of the window.

Of course, it would be nice to be with a woman like that.

… You must be prettier than me,

“…”

“Muh, Melissa?”

“Why?”

“Are you angry… Are you angry?”

“I’m not angry. This isn’t the first or second time Rant has done this.”

It’s just that I feel bad because I look lower than other people.

That’s it.

Even if you think Rant won’t mind.

I also care about myself.

… Was I originally this annoying?

“Ha…”

I let out a sigh without even realizing it.

“Ugh!? Meh, Melissa! This, this!”

“What?”

Rant picked up the food with a tableware and brought it to me.

“Ah, ah.”

“…”

Rant is holding out food to me, breaking out in a cold sweat.

It was kind of funny, like a dog trembling in scolding.

“Poop. Ah~mm.”

Feeling a little better, I ate the food Lant gave me.

… Seeing that this made me feel better, I could tell that I was really into Lant.

“Yes, Lant-sama♡ Me too♡”

Beside her, Mr. Lenny served Rant her own food her.

“Ah, yes! Lenny-san is also ah-ang.”

“Ah~ Mmm♡”

As always, Rant waits for us at the Adventurer’s Guild, and at lunchtime he always feeds us and expresses his affection.

I was very shy at first, but now I’m used to it… The staff around me are saying that too and moving on.

After receiving food from Rant, I gradually felt relieved.

However, a small uneasiness still lingered in his heart.

◈

Match everyone who goes to the dungeon.

I have two days off a week.

And today is the first day of the holiday.

Rant created an alter ego, Elsie, Noah, the library, Niña, Gracia, and Raifa at the orphanage, and the four of them went on a date to the plaza.

Mr. Lenny is still working in the adventurer’s guild, so of course he created an alter ego in the adventurer’s guild as well.

Rant himself is doing inn work with Tina and Miranda on the first floor.

And I… I have reading time with Mr. Tikia in my room.

Dating Rant or… It’s good to lock yourself in your room and have sex.

Sometimes I want to have time to read like this.

Today is the day to read the love novel I recommended with Tikia.

Ms. Tikia is also enjoying reading novels that she normally avoids, perhaps because she has not been able to read books often because she has been working hard on her research on the magic tool called the Mask of Hermit.

“What? This kind of development unfolds here!?”

It is fun to read a book with Tikia.

Because the response is good no matter what.

Looking at Tikia’s reaction, while I was reading a certain section, I could roughly predict it as I had already read it.

And when you’ve finished reading the book.

“Melissa! The contents of this book…”

Mr. Tikia always wants to have an appreciation session.

Of course, that’s a welcome to me too.

Even in the village, there were many times when we gathered at the headman’s house and talked often with the ladies and other girls, so I liked having a appreciation party.

In the village, everyone has almost the same taste, so it’s fun to talk about it.

However, Elsie likes legends and myths, and Tikia likes the magical girl Marin, a novel that little children like.

The impressions of the two people speaking from a point of view that I couldn’t think of because they have different tastes were fresh, and it was fun to convey my opinions to them.

When the viewing session is over and you are about to go back to reading time.

I suddenly remembered something I was curious about.

“Mr. Tikia.”

“Yes why?”

“Come to think of it, didn’t you go to the dungeon the other day and where did you go with Rant?”

“Ah, that. Melissa knows too, right? I’m researching the mask of seclusion.”

“Yes.”

“I made the first degraded version of it while researching. So I went to Rant and Camel to share the results.”

“I see.”

“Fufufu, even Merlin was very surprised by my excellent development skills!”

“If you’re talking about Merlin, you’re talking about Camel’s… Court wizard, right?”

“That’s right! While sharing the results, we also studied the mask of seclusion together for a while. Thanks to that, our progress has improved a lot.”

To be able to do the same research as a country’s court magician.

Although she had a very cute appearance, I could see that Tikia was a great wizard.

“Awesome, Mr. Tikia.”

Haha! Right? I’m a genius magical girl! That’s enough!”

Tikia laughed out loud and was very happy.

Rant says Tikia’s appearance her is very cute.

That’s the same for me

“Oh, what was Rant doing while Tikia was studying with Merlin?”

“Rant would have been hanging out outside.”

“… Have you ever been to the streets of Camel at night?”

“Huh? No. Rant said he was walking around the market slowly, and everyone recognized him, so he floated in the air and posed.”

“Yes?”

“You know that Rant went to martial arts competitions, right? Every time he won there, he put on a show by posing weirdly. Then people who recognized Rant clamored for a pose. Rant, he likes to show off to others. You know what? That’s why I enjoyed people’s cheers while striking poses or something.”

“That’s right?”

“Yeah, he did a pose like this.”

Tikia put the book down and posed with his arms either biceps or folded inwards.

“About something like this. Every time I pose, people go crazy.”

“…”

What the hell do you do in Camel that gets you so crazy about it?

“… It’s better than going to the window.”

“Well, that’s right… I’m doing really well in Fle Dan.”

“Ah, Tikia-san, did you hear? That Rant… Went to the elven storehouse.”

“I know that.”

“And that you captured the owner of the Changgwan there?”

“Huh? What’s that? I’ve never heard of that before.”

“At the guild, an adventurer told me the other day. The Grand Sexking made a new achievement. I checked it with Rant during lunch and he said it was real.”

“… Did you even deal with the owner on the way to the Elf window?”

“Ha…”

When I sighed, Mr. Tikia asked.

“Melissa, is there something bothering you? Is it because Rant is going to the window?”

“Yes? Oh, that’s not it. I’m also going to the window with Rant… Well, I think there’s nothing I can do about it. It’ll be very unpleasant if it gets caught in my eyes, but why ?”

“Yeah, you sighed as if you were worried about something. If you have any worries, tell me.”

Tikia patted her chest and said.

“You’re a fellow reading comrade, and you’re also a colleague if Rant does something stupid, right?”

“Tikia-san…”

To be honest, this is a worry I’m thinking about on my own.

I wonder if it’s okay to share these concerns, but… Still, I didn’t want to dishonor Tikia, who cared about me.

“In fact…”

The trouble I have with Mr. Tikia.

There are a lot of pretty women around me, so Lant confided in his worries about whether they really think of me as pretty.

“Hmm…”

After hearing all of my concerns, Mr. Tikia crossed his arms and thought for a while before speaking.

“Well, you may have such worries. Everyone is pretty.”

“As expected… Is that so?”

“But you know what? I’m thinking similarly?”

“Are you Tikia?”

“Yes, I’m a girl too. Of course I want to look pretty to Lant. But all the other kids are pretty too. Am I more cute than pretty?”

“Are you saying that yourself?”

Said Mr. Tikia, stretching out her chest.

“Because it’s true that I’m a cute genius magical girl! Rant also said I’m cute! Well, anyway, I don’t lose cute, but I envy the other kids when it comes to pretty things. Of course, I Envy you too, Melissa.”

“Me, me?”

“Okay.”

“But I’m not the pretty one. If I had to say I’d be pretty, other people than me…”

“Melissa, look at yourself more objectively. Even in the adventurer’s guild, Melissa has a good reputation as a beautiful waitress.”

“Yes? Really? That kind of thing… No, I heard it’s pretty, but that’s just flattery.”

“Even flattery saying you’re pretty won’t come out if you’re not pretty.”

“However…”

“Anyway, from my point of view, Melissa, you’re pretty enough. Don’t worry too much because you’re not second to others. Besides… The important thing is whether or not Rant thinks Melissa is pretty rather than other people’s opinions, right?”

“…Yes.”

“Then go ask Rant right now. Am I pretty?”

“Ugh… Uh, that’s a bit embarrassing.”

“At times like this, it’s better to solve it quickly. There’s nothing good about procrastinating. This is what I felt keenly in my school days. It’s best to solve the lump in your heart at once! Come on!”

Mr. Tikia pushed me on the back and tried to get me out.

“Now, wait a minute, Mr. Tikia! Mi, don’t push!”

Even if I tried not to go out, it was unreasonable for me, who had only been promoted once, to go to the dungeon with Rant and block the power of Mr. Tikia, who had been promoted several times.

“Oh, okay! OK, don’t push!”

“Okay, go!”

“Ha…”

With a sigh, I went down to the first floor where the Lant was.

“Ah, Mr. Rant, please put the table up here.”

“Okay.”

Rant was helping Tina clean the first floor.

Should I talk to you now?

What to do after cleaning…

No, what if I step back from here?

Tikia also said that we need to solve this quickly.

“Whoa…”

I approached Lant.

“Rant.”

“Huh? Melissa, why?”

“Joe, I want to ask you something. Can you come to my room?”

“OK got it.”

Right!

Rant snapped his fingers, created an alter ego, and handed the table he was holding to the alter ego.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I’m used to it now, but it’s really strange that the number of rants suddenly increases.

You can use it to deal with us at the same time…

I went into Lant’s room with him.

“So what do you want to ask?”

“That, that’s it… Kheheum! Rae, Rant.”

It’s really embarrassing to ask directly.

“Yes.”

“I… I’m pretty, right?”

“Yes?”

Look at this! Rant suddenly asked me, “I’m pretty?”, So he tilted his head, saying, “What are you talking about?”

Aww! I just asked!

I’m embarrassed!

If you think about it, it’s strange to say things like this all of a sudden!

Suddenly, to the point, what should I do?

That, yes!

Let’s do it again!

From scratch again…

“Why ask for the obvious, Melissa? Of course Melissa is pretty.”

Whoa ah…

My face instantly burned.

Lant you really…

Just one word to say it’s pretty.

My heart was pounding and my face was hot.

The corners of his mouth he go up in happiness.

The gloomy feeling I had been worrying about was blown away.

“Am I really pretty?”

“No… That’s pretty. Isn’t it natural for the woman I love to be pretty?”

She thought it was okay because she always said that she loved her, but hearing it like this is really bad for her heart her…

“Yes, Melissa.”

“Huh? Why, why?”

“Am I cool?”

Huh?

Why is Rant asking such a thing all of a sudden?

I tilted my head and said.

“No, of course it’s cool.”

Rant Why are you asking something obvious?

Of course, the man you love is wonderful…

Oh

… I was too stupid
