Chapter 572 – Episode 572 – To Leni-San’s Parents’ House!

◈

Me and Lenny went straight downstairs, passed through the checkpoint, and went inside.

Eskal, the country where Fledan is located,

Hewridge, the capital of Escale, felt like a capital just like Camel, Sol, and Bendina.

Countless people are strolling along the roadside, and carriages are also passing by.

The liveliness of the people gave a strong feeling that it was the capital.

If Fledan is a slightly wild and lively place full of adventurers, the capital, Hew Ridge, is crowded with carriages ridden by ordinary citizens and nobles.

“This is where Lenny was born and raised. Did you become a receptionist here first?”

“Yes, after passing the exam in the royal capital, I was assigned to Fledan.”

“Are appointments automatically determined?”

“Sometimes that happens when I can’t make a choice. But in my case, I applied myself.”

“Okay?”

“When I was young, I often followed my father to the adventurer’s guild to meet old friends. There… I saw my mother’s former job as guild receptionists and admired them, so I wanted to become a receptionist too. And if possible, the best receptionist. I wanted to be.”

“Are you the best receptionist?”

Mr. Lenny lowered her head a little shyly.

“It was a childish idea when I was young. I thought that the best receptionist would be a receptionist at a fleet with the most adventurers and strong adventurers. Now… I think I’m an idiot myself.”

I shook my head at Mr. Lenny who blamed himself.

“It’s not like that. Mr. Lenny is the best receptionist and beloved person to me.”

“… Thank you, Lant-sama♡”

“Besides, Mr. Lenny works diligently almost without a break. If you ask any adventurer in Fldan, he will say that Mr. Lenny is the best receptionist.”

That’s all I could say with confidence.

Mr. Lenny put his hand her to his mouth his, giggled and nodded at him.

“Yes, that would be nice.”

Uhm~ It seems like you don’t believe it a bit, but since Lenny usually has low self-esteem, I think he’ll shed moderately even if he continues to insist.

Let’s solve this problem step by step.

First of all, the top priority today.

The first thing to do is to meet Lenny’s mother and father.

“Where is Lenny’s house?”

“It’s just a short walk and you’ll be there.”

After walking for some distance, Lenny stopped at a general store.

Looking at the signboard, the name of the general store was Renine’s General Store.

“Just by looking at it, it’s Lenny’s house.”

Mr. Lenny shuddered and trembled.

“Originally, it was a general store named after my father. But after I passed the receptionist exam, they changed it to this signboard.”

“I know your father loves Lenny very much.”

“Thank you for saying that…”

But as her daughter’s point of view, very embarrassing Mr. Rennie thanked me, but her face her blushed red.

It’s really cute.

Father, good job.

Me and Lenny went into the store.

There was a jingle and the bell installed on the store door rang, and there was a middle-aged man sitting blankly at the counter in the store, reading a newspaper.

Hearing the bell, the man folded the newspaper in half and raised his head.

“Welcome, buy something… To go…”

As soon as the man saw us, or Leni to be exact, he stared blankly at us with his eyes and mouth wide open.

“Long time no see, Father.”

“Le, Le, Leni…?”

“Yes. That’s me.”

“Now, wait here for a moment! Hey, honey!”

While bickering, the man presumed to be Lenny’s father immediately opened the door behind him and went inside.

And after a while

“Lenny?!”

A middle-aged woman resembling Mr. Lenny came out the door with her father her.

“Long time no see, mother.”

“This is really our Lenny!”

Mother came up to Lenny and hugged her.

“Welcome.”

“Yes, I’ve been there.”

“Come inside first.”

After a family reunion after a long time, I went inside the general store with Lenny.

I went into Lenny’s house.

I sat down on a chair at the table next to Lenny, facing my father and mother.

But my mother and father talked to Lenny first, not me.

“It must have been a while since you sent the letter, but you came quickly. Oh, did you not receive the letter?”

“No, I took a leave after receiving the letter and left.”

“Is that so? It takes more than a week by carriage to get here from Fledan. It’s only been 13 days since I sent the letter.”

“That…”

When Lenny was about to answer, his father spoke first.

“Lennie, those clothes…”

“Yes, father. It’s the receptionist’s outfit I wear in Fledan. I want to show it to you at least once.”

“Oh, my pretty Lenny, you look just like your mother when she was young. How pretty your mother was when she was a receptionist… Of course she’s still pretty now.”

“You don’t care either. It’s not just us here, there are others. And Leni hasn’t answered me yet. So, Lennie, how did you come so soon? And who’s next to you?”

At Mother’s question, Lenny smiled and said,

“Let me introduce you, mother and father. This is Mr. Rant. I was able to come here so quickly thanks to Mr. Rant.”

“Rant…? Where did you hear that…”

When my father tilted his head, my mother banged the desk! And he spoke loudly.

“Wait! Rant isn’t that dungeon crasher? That S-rank adventurer who calmed the flood!”

“Yes, that’s right. Thanks to Lant-sama’s skills, we were able to come so quickly.”

“Eh, eh, an S-rank adventurer?! That, why would such a person… Stand with our Lenny, no way!”

My father covered his mouth with both hands and looked at me.

Apparently, my father found out that I was dating Lenny…

“Our Lenny made the request because he wanted to meet her mom and dad quickly!”

I guess I didn’t lose.

“It’s true that I want to meet you soon, but it’s a little different.”

“What do you mean different?”

“That…”

The moment Lenny tried to answer, I spread my hand in front of Lenny.

“Mr. Rant?”

“I’ll tell you from here.”

I nodded, bowed my head, and told my mother and father.

“Hello, mother and father. I’m Rant and I’m dating Mr. Lenny.”

“”Yes?””

At my words, both mother and father tilted their heads at the same time.

“Hey, wait a minute, you’re dating? With our Lenny?”

“Yes.”

“You’re dating… You mean?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Hey, honey, is this true right now? Ooh, our Leni… She’s pretty because she looks like you, but our Lenny, who didn’t even date a guy… Says she’s dating an S-rank adventurer.”

“I-I heard that too, so I guess it’s true? Oh, no. I thought I was weak because I hadn’t heard from anyone and hadn’t contacted them…”

Little by little, Mother turned her head towards Mr. Lenny and smiled slightly sinisterly.

“Yogeo yogeo, Lenny, you forgot to send me a letter because you were spending time with a guy?”

“I’m sorry…”

Mr. Lenny turned her head away with a puzzled look on his face.

“Oh, oh, oh, oh, look at him. He knows how to make a face like that. But it’s been more than three months since he hasn’t sent a letter. How much are you hooked on?”

“Ooh, my Lenny fell for a guy!? Ooh, my pretty daughter!?”

Her mother swung and turned her head toward me.

Her mother’s eyes her were twinkling with curiosity.

“How old are you?”

“I’m 20 years old.”

“20 years old!? He’s 8 years younger than my daughter! No, he’s an S rank, but he’s only 20 years old!? Lenny, he’s also true. The young world is also a great young world!”

“Oh, mother! That’s rude to Rant!”

“What kind of Lant-sama are you? Are you talking so hard while dating?

“That, that’s… That… Even if we’re dating, ah, since Rant-sama and I are still adventurers and me, the receptionist, it’s not easy to say goodbye…”

“You, how was it when we were dating?”

“Huh? Even when Honey was on duty, she said “Sweetie~.”

“Look at this, my daughter, you’re so smart that you thought mom and dad had nothing to teach you, but it looks like you still have something to teach me about dating.”

“Uh, uh uh…”

Mr. Lenny hangs her head and is at a loss for what to do with her.

It was the first time I had seen Lenny’s expression like this.

I would like to see more of this cute Lenny, but as her lover her, I should take Lenny’s side her here.

Let’s take Lenny’s side of her and also give her mother and father a greeting gift from her.

“Hey there…”

When you try to say sir, father.

Suddenly, Mother’s movements stopped.

“Wait… Rumors say that Dungeon Crashers have a lot of women… Mr. Rant… No, you said Rant? Can I leave?”

“Oh, yes. Of course.”

“As rumor has it… Do you have multiple women with you?”

“No.”

“Whew, so. Thankfully, that’s just nonsense that comes with fame…”

“I don’t look down on people I love.”

“Yes?”

“All of them are lovely lovers equal to me. Of course, Lenny is too. We will all be happy together, and I intend to make everyone happy too.”

“Lant-sama♡”

“Ehh? Ehhhhh?”

“Hey, hey, Ran… T?”

“Yes, Father.”

“Ah, father… That means we’re dating Lenny, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then, how many other women are you dating other than Lenny…”

“Excluding Lenny, there are nine people.”

“Well, then, including our Lenny, there are 10, 10 people. This, this is the level of an S-rank adventurer… “

“Les, Leni! My daughter! Are you, are you satisfied with that?!”

“Yes, Mother. To begin with, I am… Mr. Rant’s eighth woman.”

“Yeah, yea, eight…”

I squeezed Lenny’s hands and said with sincerity as usual.

“Lenny, I don’t like Lenny eighth, even though she’s the eighth in the order we met. With everyone else, I love Lenny the most in the world.”

“Yes, Lant-sama♡ I know it♡ I love Rant-sama the most in the world♡”

Both father and mother were taken aback by the love-love between me and Lenny.

“Boo, the atmosphere is nice, but the conversation is… No, more than that, my daughter has a face like that…”

“Hey, hey, Mr. Rant!”

Suddenly, my mother called me with a loud voice.

“Yes, Mother.”

“Just looking at it, I can tell that we’re getting along with our Lenny. It’s great if our Lenny is happy. But her parents’ feelings aren’t going their way, right?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“You understand? Yes, then that’s great. No matter how close you are. Can you handle it when there are 10 women? No matter how S-ranked adventurers are. I know this because I worked as a receptionist. The higher the floor , the more appropriate equipment is required.

It costs a lot of money to get that equipment. I’m such an adventurer… Mr. Rant, do you have the confidence to take care of our Lenny and the other women? When I was a receptionist, I saw more than one adventurer throwing away his lover or family just because he was buying equipment.”

To save money to buy equipment and throw away your family.

It was unimaginable to me.

However, what my mother, who has experience as a receptionist, must be true.

If so, let me bring out evidence that will allow me to take responsibility for Mr. Lenny with confidence.

“Mother, Father. Please accept my greeting gift first.”

Cooong!

I took a large money bag from my inventory and set it on the desk.

“What is this?”

“This is an apology for things I haven’t been able to say before, and a gift with the heart of wishing you well in the future.”

“After hearing the sound, it looks like money. Actually, this is better than giving a gift based on assumptions. Why is it worth an S rank? I exchanged 50 gold for silver and brought it back… ”

Said her mother her and opened her purse.

“Huup!”

When she saw the innumerable gold coins in the money bag, she shut her mouth.

“Honey, why is that… A lie! This, this…!?”

“Rae, Rae, Rae, Miss Lant… Ah, no Rant? This is all uh, uh, how much is it?”

“It’s 1000 gold.”

“”Cheo, chu, chu, thousand gold!?!?””

“Lant-sama!?”

My mother, father, and Lenny looked at me equally astonished.

I haven’t been able to see you so far, so I’ve put in a lot!
