Chapter 74
"What a cute friend."
She was so adorable that merely watching her brought a pleased smile to my face.
"She's good at cooking, too."
"Does the spirit really get happy when it eats the food here?"
"Yeah. They bring in fresh vegetables and fruit every day."
Fresh vegetables, fruit.
Just hearing about them made me feel healthier. But I had my doubts about the taste.
In the Dry Village, we mostly ate meat. We grilled it and ate it. It was extremely simple, but I couldn't imagine vegetables beating the taste of meat.
To me, vegetables and fruit were either dessert after a meal or garnish to eat alongside meat. That was about it.
"Do elves generally enjoy vegetarian food?"
"Dekal. That's rude. There is no such thing as 'generally' when it comes to an elf's eating habits."
"Hmm. My mistake. Sorry."
"Not all elves enjoy vegetarian food. Just like people, everyone has different tastes."
"Then is this inn's specialty based on Elin's preferences?"
"Yeah."
A mostly vegetarian menu.
There seemed to be noodle dishes as well, judging by the menu, but every dish's name brought green to mind.
Still, this was a place good enough for Isti, who enjoyed meat, to become a regular.
She wouldn't have recommended it simply because it was run by a close friend.
I decided to trust Isti and wait.
Soon, Elin skillfully balanced a tray that was somewhat heavy for her small frame in one hand and naturally served the food, like a daughter preparing her father's meal.
"Wow. It's beautiful."
Karen exclaimed in admiration at the presentation.
She had certainly made it look like a work of art, bringing out the colors of the green, red, and yellow vegetables.
Some of the ingredients were familiar, but there were fruits I had never seen before as well.
The side dishes were a salad containing vegetables and grains and a deep-green soup served in a small cup. The main dish looked like pasta.
Karen and Isti were served tofu scramble and a mouthwatering risotto with a wonderfully creamy texture.
It was impressive that she had prepared all of this at once.
Elin gave a light, polite bow and stepped back, returning to the kitchen.
It felt as though she had even restrained her farewell so that we could comfortably focus on our meal.
"Your friend is quite talented."
"You'll be even more surprised when you taste it."
"Let's see."
I honestly didn't want to touch the salad, so the moment I put the richly colored soup into my mouth, I was startled.
……This is incredibly delicious.
Bella's cooking was certainly better than the saltless grilled meat of the Dry Village, but this was cuisine on an entirely higher level.
"What on earth is this made from?"
"Murang fruit. You sauté it slowly until it caramelizes, then blend it finely with water and ground Murang fruit to make a smooth, rich soup."
After only a few spoonfuls, I enjoyed the sweetness that gently enveloped my mouth and the fullness that warmed my stomach.
The refreshing taste of the salad I ate afterward neatly cleansed my palate.
Without a doubt, it was the finest dish I had eaten since transmigrating.
Karen was eating with a blissful expression.
There was no need to ask whether she liked it.
"It's so delicious."
"I'm glad it suits your tastes, Darling and Karen."
"It feels like my cheeks are melting……."
Karen seemed to like the creamy risotto.
While we were eating, I was surprised to see the spirit core moving as energetically as it did outdoors.
"It really is happy."
We set down our utensils for a moment and watched the spirit core dance.
In games, after eating a meal, you sometimes received beneficial effects, such as temporarily increased stats or improved condition.
I wondered if this food was exactly that sort of thing.
I wanted Elin.
She was precisely the kind of talent our kitchen needed.
But she had an inn to run, so I couldn't simply take her away like I was kidnapping her.
I would have to watch the situation and take things slowly.
"Isti. Where's the bathroom?"
"Over there."
I got up for a moment and secretly slipped toward the kitchen.
"Ah! You can't come in here."
Elin flusteredly tried to stop me.
Snap.
I snapped my fingers.
Elin, who had been walking toward me, suddenly stopped and stared blankly into the air.
It was proof that she had fallen into a trance.
What suggestion should I give her?
I quietly gazed at Elin's defenseless, adorable face and waited for inspiration to strike.
"Elin. 「Preparing for anal sex is a lady's basic refinement.」"
"An……al……?"
It was funny to hear such an out-of-place word come from Elin's adorable mouth.
Suppressing the laughter that threatened to burst out, I continued.
"That's right. To make sure a penis can enter comfortably, first apply plenty of lubricant, then gradually stretch the anus using your fingers……."
"……."
"You can prepare yourself, can't you, Elin?"
"Yes……. Preparing for anal sex……."
Good. Since I had even taught her the technique, Elin would now steadily work on stretching her asshole to receive a penis whenever she had free time.
There was no need to add a suggestion to keep her mouth shut, either.
That was because I had called it 「basic refinement」.
There was a slight difference between knowing something as information and treating it as common knowledge, just as women sometimes pretended not to know while actually knowing everything there was to know.
If I suggested 「refinement」, Elin would naturally acquire it as knowledge.
Unless she was speaking with someone close to her, she would also come to believe that information about anal sex was shameful and not something to be mentioned carelessly.
Conversely, using the keyword 「common knowledge」 tended to drastically alter her perception.
She might not even recognize that it was something embarrassing.
Because I knew that small difference, I made use of it immediately.
The thought of Elin secretly studying on her own was delightful.
And when the fruits of her shameful efforts had ripened, I would claim them for myself.
That was the plan.
Clap.
I woke Elin with a clap and continued speaking.
"Where's the bathroom?"
"Oh, it's over there."
"Thank you."
I spoke politely, then withdrew before she could become suspicious and headed to the bathroom without looking back.
By the time I returned to my seat, the two of them had nearly finished their meals.
Everyone seemed full, so perhaps it was time to bring it up.
"Isti. What do we do from here?
Do we wait until everyone who completed the emergency mission gathers in the city?"
"No. You two can go right away. The test will be finished today, and the results should be out by tomorrow."
"It's that simple?"
"There are many applicants to Hero School, but there are just as many ways of screening them, so the school suffers from a chronic shortage of personnel.
Even so, Hero School maintains a system for gathering candidates of the highest caliber, so it's not uncommon for someone expelled for lacking the qualifications to apply again……."
A system that meticulously filtered out those trying to enter, while unhesitatingly casting out those who had made it inside.
So that's Melbrit. Pretty brutal.
I hadn't attended any classes yet, but there had to be a risk of injury, right? You wouldn't be buried beneath a mountain of assignments and die, but it was still a school where you could actually die. No joke.
"That's why, even if someone isn't an emergency mission achiever and lacks the qualifications, they'll still be allowed to take the entrance test if they genuinely want to enroll.
That's why the area in front of Hero School is packed with people every day."
"Good. Karen, let's take the test right away, have the interview, come back, and have sex."
Karen had gone rigid.
"O-Older Brother. Why don't we level up just a little more before we go?"
"……."
"……."
I met Isti's eyes.
"Would you like some tea?"
Elin brought out warm tea at just the right moment.
We drank the tea Elin had served and spent a brief moment relaxing.
"Isti. Could you wait a moment? I'll go help Karen relax."
"Sure. I'll pay for the room. You can use one of the vacant rooms on the second floor."
"Oppa? What are you talking about? Ah!"
I stood up and hoisted Karen over my shoulder.
"Waaah! Oppa!?"
Then I headed upstairs.
As Isti had said, I picked an empty room, went inside, and threw Karen onto the bed.
"Ow!?"
"Let's get some post-meal exercise before we go."
I pulled down my pants and tossed off my shirt.
Despite the demand for sex that was almost on the level of a street assault, my little slut immediately recognized her role and got down on all fours, raising her ass so I could take her from behind.
She lowered her upper body and bent her waist as far inward as possible, putting tremendous emphasis on her buttocks. Her cheeks burst free of her skirt in an instant and tempted me.
"A pussy all ready for me, huh? Even though you were so tense until just now."
"……K-Karen is Oppa's little slut, after all."
I pulled Karen's panties to the side and inserted my cock into her pussy.
At first, it resisted my cock rather tightly, but then it slipped smoothly and sank deep inside.
True to her role as a prepared little slut, her pussy was already wet.
"I'm helping you so you won't be nervous during the test. How about taking a light creampie before we go?"
"Mmm…! Help me with your strong cock, Oppa. Pound my pussy hard♥"
Karen knew exactly how to take it from behind.
I gripped and kneaded Karen's firm buttocks with one hand while rocking my hips, thrusting my cock rhythmically into her pussy.
"You're already this wet?"
"Hyaah. Even my body knows. It knows that my role is to please Oppa's cock. That's why I'm drooling pussy juice♥"
Karen's pussy clenched tightly around my cock.
I thrust my stiff, fully erect cock into Karen’s pussy at a rapid pace.
“Mmmngh! Ngh…! Ahh. Ahn…!”
Karen let out breathless, heated moans as she gently swayed her hips in time with my movements.
The feeling of her body tapping against my lower abdomen was incredibly good.
“Mmm, oh, oh, huang…! Oppa’s balls keep smacking my pussy♥”
I moved even faster, pounding into Karen’s pussy as if striking it.
“Nngohhot! Mmm! Nng……! I’m happy. I get even haappier when I’m Oppa’s cock sleeve than usual, so happy it feels like your cock is entering all the way into my head.”
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“Mmm, this is dangerous♥ Every time my pussy gets pounded, I become endlessly haappier, it’s amaazing♥”
Karen’s body grew unbearably hot.
Her pussy kept contracting, squeezing my cock tightly again and again, and she cried, “Ugh, oh! Nnghok! Gok! Gk…!”
Whenever my cock brushed against her vaginal walls, Karen trembled helplessly.
She was already accustomed to having sex with me, and with the suggestion layered on top of that, she seemed to be experiencing a climax unlike anything she had ever known.
I thought that if we didn’t take a proper break, she might faint just like this……but.
Karen’s pussy kept squeezing my cock as if urging me to come, so I ignored her condition and shook my hips like a beast,
slamming into her furiously.
As my cock rapidly scraped along her vaginal walls several times in succession with wet, squelching sounds, Karen stuck out her tongue and rolled her eyes back.
“Ohgok♥ Nngho…!”
Trusting in the cushioning of Karen’s firm buttocks and thighs, I used the recoil to thrust rhythmically into her.
“Gk…! Nngk. Nngok…! Oh, oh, gk, Oppa…. Oppa. Hngit. Ohok. Don’t do it so deeep. It’s stronger than pounding, my pussy’s going to melt♥”
The one melting here is me.
She had been strangely wet from the moment I entered her, and during our penetration Karen’s pussy became so drenched that her fluids dripped onto the sheets. No matter how roughly I scraped along her vaginal walls, she took it all and even squeezed me tightly.
“Hk! Hngh! Oppa……. You’ve gotten really hard inside me……♥”
Because I was close to coming.
Karen noticed and began to sway her hips lewdly.
I immediately started pounding my cock into Karen’s pussy. Unable to endure it, Karen’s posture collapsed and she fell forward.
But my cock, buried inside her, did not slip out. I lay down atop Karen’s prone body and continued thrusting deeply into her pussy.
“Nngo…! Oh, oh, hooh…! Gk, nghit…!”
Karen trembled, barely managing to lift her hips as she accepted my penetration.
I pushed my cock deep into Karen’s pussy just like that and came.
It felt as though everything stored in my balls had been sucked out. Karen finally seemed to run out of strength and lay facedown, catching her breath.
“Haa……. Hahh……. Hng…….”
I slowly pulled out my cock and touched Karen’s buttocks.
“Are you relaxed now, Karen?”
“……Mmm. Hngh……. I-I’m…… relaxed.”
Karen couldn’t hold herself up. She lay facedown with her legs spread awkwardly like a frog, unable to get up.
My semen was slowly trickling out of her pussy.
…….
I grabbed Karen’s buttocks.
“Hyaa…….”
Karen’s body flinched and trembled.
“Let’s have sex one more time. I can’t hold back.”
Doing it again might interfere with the test.
But I gave myself over to my desire, stripped Karen, and tangled with her naked body in a wet, sticky embrace.
“Mmm~~! Nnghooh♥”
In the end, I only let Karen go after relentlessly taking her from behind for an hour and coming inside her four more times.
Even then, I stopped only because I remembered that Isti was waiting outside…….
“Karen?”
“……Ugh, oh, oh…….”
Karen was drooling a much greater amount of semen from her pussy than before, and she did not answer when I called her.
“Darling. May I come in?”
“Yes. Come in.”
Isti flinched when she saw Karen’s condition.
“Darling……. I know it was supposed to be a simple test, but this is going to affect Karen’s condition.”
“I meant to do it after we came back, but then…….”
“Sigh…….”
Isti naturally brought her mouth toward my cock, took it in, and began meticulously sucking the cock covered in Karen’s fluids and my semen.
“Schlup. Schluurp. Smack. Slurp.”
After thoroughly cleaning my balls and cock with an expressionless face, Isti carefully inspected my fully erect cock to see whether any filth remained, then nodded.
“I’ll wake Karen and get her ready. Will you wait outside?”
Why outside……?
When Isti helped Karen to her feet, the semen I had left inside her pussy dripped down in a stream.
“Darling, because it looks like you’ll have sex with Karen again.”
“……”
Well, she wasn’t wrong.
If Isti hadn’t been there, I might have spent the entire night embracing Karen and rolling around with her until dawn.
I obediently got dressed and left the room.
