Chapter 252 – ■■ That’s Right!

Poududeuk!

A tree branch with rough claw marks is stepped on by the feet.

‘It’s true that I procured the materials here.’

Harpies’ nests are obvious, taking advantage of the characteristics of half-human, half-birds, but they are located in places that humans without wings cannot easily reach.

The worst case is the gap in the steep cliff, where death is usually confirmed the moment your feet brush.

But that’s a very rare case and only happens in certain areas.

If the harpies settled in the mountains of the Edelman terrain without steep hills.

Due to the nature of monsters that prefer saltwood as a nesting material, locations are limited.

Looking around such a powerful mountain.

“Her.”

I admired the dainty water stream rippling down the mountainside.

When Lee Ji-sunda arrives, I always get it wrong the first time because my filming skills are so great.

One of the two viable options is heotang.

In the end, you have to run back to the opposite mountain.

Without hesitation, he kicks off the ground and moves his feet through the trees.

I wondered what topics Rike and Alice were talking about.

‘I wonder if the story is going well.’

I was also curious about how the two met. I tried to draw it, but I gave up because I couldn’t picture the situation in my head.

‘I’ll do well.’

Just like my girls credit me, so do I.

I decided to end this walk quickly.

– Kehit!

On the mountain right in front of you.

I see two harpies breaking through the dense trees.

‘Okay. It makes no sense except here.’

Ping-!

Throw knives to make them crash, locate and move them.

The shape of the nest that I had seen in the past caught my eye.

“Gleipnir.”

Charreuk! He made a sound and stretched out the pulled out Gleipnir.

He jumped up from his seat and turned his body.

Even while looking around, the target is clearly captured.

Weapons that are complicated to use, such as chains, become less effective the more you wield them with strength.

Depending on the situation, it requires movements comparable to acrobatic stunts.

The moment when the spinning body and Gleipnir’s angle of rotation fit together.

Instantly concentrates power in the grip.

“Huh!”

Gleipnir with a blue aura aims at the harpy’s nest from the sky.

It fell like a guillotine blade.

Seeing-!

A sharp sound that would be unimaginable of cutting through a huge pile of lumber with a chain rather than a sword.

Widely.

“Hmm.”

Upon landing on the nest that was neatly split in half, the harpy queen was split in half along with the nest, spilling out its entrails, and died instantly.

-Kiyik!!
– Hey, human!
…

There are less than 100 harpies flapping around as if the colony has not been formed for a while.

Since they lost the queen who would expand their group, just leaving it as it is is like ending these monsters.

Why?

If you decide to unwind, you should clean it up.

You won’t miss a single one.

*****

“Are you a virgin?”

“···Yes?”

The girl’s ears are intact and pierced.

The senses themselves, including hearing, are innate, so the use of the five senses does not fall anywhere.

Even so, I couldn’t understand the other person’s words and made a stupid sound.

Rike, who saw the girl’s blankly changed face, picked up a cookie with a pure smile different from the lines.

She spoke up again.

“I was wondering if you have experience with men.”

“…”

Alice’s gaze turned to the floor.

Rike devoured the cookies with his small mouth.

I watched the girl who sealed her mouth with her face blushing.

To be an adventurer, the act itself felt innocent.

That’s a good enough answer for the basic premise.

It is only when the conversation ends like this that it becomes a big disrespect and tantamount to sexual harassment.

“Aren’t you curious why I’m asking this question?”

“I’m curious…!”

Only then did Alice raise her gaze, and the color of her hair was no different from that of Seria.

The red blush blooming on the girl’s tanned skin is like a wave reflecting the setting sun.

It caught Rick’s attention strongly.

“Looking at Miss Alice’s reaction, I’m at a loss as to whether I should be direct and straightforward…

Alice would have chosen the former without hesitation, with her straightforwardness, had she normally heard such words.

However, this dizzying feeling of opening the door to a conversation by asking her virginity out of the blue.

I couldn’t even imagine what kind of conversation would lead if I didn’t cover my words.

“I will try to understand what you are saying…”

When a request comes in to cover it up.

Rike chose one of the lines she had in mind right away.

“You can tell by looking at his body and ability, but my oppa’s sex drive is no joke. If you go to bed, you won’t be able to stop for an hour or two.”

“…Rike-sama?”

Where is this covered story?

Listen to that one word

It was frightening because I couldn’t even guess what the content would have come out if I had asked him to tell me directly.

In the first place, if you are at the tavern of the adventurer’s guild, you have no choice but to come across dirty stories like obscenity.

It was Alice who thought that she had a tolerance for that.

She said the words directly to herself, and at the same time imagining her romance made her dizzy.

“That said, oppa is not a man who is swayed by desire.”

“Yep···.”

I thought I had to answer for politeness.

Alice slightly opened her dry lips with mixed emotions, and Rike immediately followed up.

“First of all, before going into an in-depth conversation, I don’t know the adventurer’s life properly, so please tell me if there is something uncomfortable or thorny during the conversation.”

“···All right.”

“To begin with. Due to the nature of the job of an adventurer, there are days when you are outside. Even if you are a person with a strong sense of reason, if you do not satisfy your basic needs for a long time, you will inevitably get stressed out, right?”

“It is as you say.”

Speaking of basic needs, this doesn’t just mean sexual desire.

If you stay overnight for a long time, there is an imbalance in sleep and appetite.

The hunting situation comes due to physical strength that cannot be recovered properly and is only falling.

“To quench your desire, you’ll eat if you’re hungry, and if you need sleep, you’ll sleep. Then, how do adventurers quench their sexual desire?”

“There are many adventurers who go to buy women after completing the request. Of course, the opposite also exists.”

“Ms. Alice. I’m not talking about the end of the request, but the situation of staying outdoors during the request.”

“…”

“If you are uncomfortable with the topic of conversation now, it is okay to end this conversation here.”

To end the conversation, I couldn’t hear why you asked if you had experience with men.

It feels like only the image has been cut down to withdraw without hearing the main point of the question that worries me.

Rike quietly waited for Alice, who was trying to catch her heart by repeating her breathing.

Alice couldn’t erase the blush on her face, but with a light of determination in her eyes, Alice returned her Tero to her spirit world and bowed her head in her seat.

“Like-sama… I was stupid. I would appreciate it if you could speak directly without adding or subtracting. I’m sorry for changing my words.”

Rike grinned at the intuition that the conversation would finally come to an end.

“Is she by any chance she has a lover or is she going to marry someone or a family situation?”

“Doesn’t exist.”

“Who is the man you have in mind?”

It was a simple but thought-provoking question.

A difficult question and answer for a girl who has lived a busy life without being able to define what love is and what love is.

Alice, who quickly erased Roman, who immediately came to mind with disrespect, repeated her self-suggestion that she couldn’t help it because her situation was like this, and gave her answer.

“…Likewise none.”

“Okay. Now focus!”

“Yes, yes!”

Lique, who seemed slightly excited, clapped her hands, awakening Alice’s spirit.

“What do you think of my brother? Please answer honestly.”

A question with an ambiguous meaning.

Whether this question is to untangle her fox from sticking to her own man, or whether her Roman admiration is a question she wants to hear.

Or maybe there was some other meaning that she couldn’t figure out with her own insight, Alice couldn’t get her way easily.

‘···.’

No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know the exact intent of the question.

Alice’s intuition that lies would not work with Rike was true.

The letters that came to mind still brought out the answer.

“Mmm, I think he’s a cool and respectable person…”

I wondered if she had dug a trap for her, wondering where she was looking.

Rike nodded her head and expressed sympathy.

“Miss Alice will be walking around alone with my brother from now on, right?

“Maybe if you’re really lucky.”

“Then, there will surely come a moment when you can’t control it and your heart overflows. Your heart will ache to the point of wanting to die. Even the famous knights in the Empire can’t withstand the love affair.”

“?”

Without warning, the flow of conversation jumped and leaped.

Alice tilted her head, not understanding Rike’s words of thorough assertion.

Ricke didn’t give him time to think.

“What you need at that time is courage. Even if you have a good feeling, my brother will never reach out first. I need to act boldly on this side.”

“No… That!”

The moment Alice understood her flow, a haze appeared over her head.

To the extent that the illusion of her eyes spinning round and round like a whirlpool.

“Even if you don’t have any experience, don’t worry, once you start, he’ll give you a solid lead. In the first place, my brother likes inexperienced girls.”

“Oh···.”

Rike did not bother to mention direct facts such as unicorn blood, but turned around.

Alice’s doubts were also resolved with the back remarks.

‘So that’s why you asked about her virginity.’

I understand why she asked about her virginity. The purpose of the conversation seemed to be clear, but it was a difficult problem to face easily.

Saying that there’s no way to do that, Rike threw the question back to Alice, who had been ignoring the reality for a long time, in order to awaken her to the reality.

“Okay. Let’s go back and ask. Is Miss Alice a virgin?”

“That’s right…”

“Miss Alice? I can’t hear a single voice.

Alice’s voice, which was nothing more than a whisper, let Rike express regret.

Alice, who closed her eyes tightly, jumped up from her chair to show Rike her spirit.

Rattle!

“I’m a wife and a virgin!!”

Kiik-

At the same time, the door opened and Roman and the startled Alice’s eyes met.

“You were in the middle of an important talk… I’m sorry. I’ll wait outside.”

Roman smiled awkwardly and closed the door.

Thud!
