Chapter 45: ★U-um... I was worried
After the tea party with Fia-san and Leah-san ended, I was standing in front of the inn.
Perhaps because I had gotten used to flying through the sky compared to earlier, I wasn’t as tense this time.
I thanked the two who had escorted me back and was about to head inside when a voice called out.
Fia-san, with her cheeks dyed red, smiled and said,
"You can call me Fia."
"Me too! Call me Leah!"
"...Understood. Fia, Leah."
The two smiled happily at my words, floated up from the ground, and flew away into the sky.
...I bet the magic to fly through the sky was only passed down within the Criela clan.
Otherwise, everyone would be flying around.
I entered the inn, greeted the owner, and borrowed the room key.
Instead of heading straight to the room, I went to the communal bath.
That’s right — this inn unusually had a bath, even if it was shared.
It looked like a rundown inn from the outside, but the interior was surprisingly new.
It had a warm atmosphere without being overly bright, and the furniture reused classic old-style pieces.
...Renovating an old inn like this gives it a really nice feel.
I had my eye on it even back in the game days and used it often during my adventurer playthrough.
Feeling both happy and nostalgic, my steps toward the bath quickened.
After finishing my bath and returning to the room, it was already 11 PM.
I sat on the bed and let out a sigh when there was a knock on the door.
I answered suspiciously, but when I heard Erika’s voice, I hurriedly rushed to the door.
...Even though it’s an inn, going out alone at this hour is dangerous.
When I opened the door, I was so surprised by Erika’s appearance that my body froze.
"I see you made it back safely."
"Y-yeah..."
Erika was wearing a pink negligee that clung to her body, accented here and there with small ribbons.
I snapped back to my senses, pulled Erika inside by the hand, and closed the door.
I hugged her tightly on impulse and sighed.
"Erika, please... don’t walk around dressed like that."
"I-I’m sorry. The room next door is ours, so I thought it would be fine..."
"Even so, it’s not okay. There are a lot of weird people out there."
I lightly stroked her head, then let go and sat on the bed.
I gestured for Erika to sit down. She nodded shyly.
I thought she would sit next to me, but instead she sat between my legs.
A faint scent of roses wafted from Erika’s hair.
"...Erika?"
"U-um... I was worried..."
At her small voice, I gently hugged her from behind.
My arms felt her firm skin, and the rose scent grew stronger.
It wasn’t an overpowering fragrance — it was a delicate, tickling scent.
Since I had both arms around her stomach, her breasts were pressing against my arms, but please forgive me for that.
"Nn... Raide-san?"
"Sorry for making you worry."
"It’s fine." freeweɓnøvel.com
I could tell from behind that Erika let out a relieved sigh.
Even so, Erika’s waist was very slim. She had a slender figure, but the parts that should stand out did so beautifully.
I lightly stroked her abdomen and checked her abs.
She had abdominal muscles — probably from combat training.
I moved my hand toward her solar plexus and also touched the area under her breasts to check.
...Amazing. This area was nicely toned too.
She must be doing personal exercise in addition to combat training.
"Nn... Fuu, ah... Au... Fu, uu..."
That’s when I noticed Erika covering her mouth with one hand and letting out small moans.
She was reacting to the way I was touching her body. Without resisting, she shyly let out quiet, embarrassed moans.
I hadn’t noticed because I was focused, but she had been reacting slightly with her body.
Taking advantage of the fact that she wasn’t resisting, I began to massage her breasts, which were slightly larger than melons.
"Ah... Ahn! Ah, Fuuuuh... Ahn! N-no, yaaah!"
When I sank my fingers into them, they immediately bounced back.
Erika’s breasts had a youthful firmness. They weren’t too hard, though.
They tried to return to their original shape right away, but I resisted that and squeezed even harder.
Her body reacted cutely with little twitches, which only excited me more.
I brought my head close to the side of her face, and the rose scent grew even stronger.
"Ahn! D-don’t, my nipples— Nn! Don’t rub them like that, Fuuuh, Han!"
"It feels good for me too while I’m touching you, Erika."
"Don’t, whisper in my ear— Un! Please don’t, Ahn! Yaaah! Uah, Haan!"
While attacking her nipples with my left hand, I moved my right hand down to her thighs.
As I stroked her slightly sweaty thighs, the smooth, slippery sensation spread across my palm.
Erika tried to stop my hand with her right hand.
"Yaaah! Don’t stroke there, Ahn! Yaan! Don’t rub it, Haan!"
"You’re beautiful, Erika."
"No, not there— Ah... Aaahn! Ah! Faaah, Ahn! Naaaaahn!"
Even while being held back by her right hand, I moved my right hand to her private area.
It was already wet. I pinched the slightly protruding part.
At that moment, Erika clamped her legs shut, trying to stop my hand.
"Kyaaan! Ah! No! Yaaah! Aaaahn! Yaan! Aaaaaahn!"
I inserted my finger into her, careful not to break her membrane. I moved gently at first, then intensely, then gently again, repeating the pattern.
Erika’s right hand moved in sync with my right, while her left hand gripped my pants.
"Nuuuuuh, Haaan! Ah, I’m cumming! I’m cumming, Ahn! I’m cumming, Aah! Cumming cumming cumming, I’m cuuuuuumiiiiiiing!!"
She gripped my hand and leg tightly, arched her back, and convulsed.
I held her body firmly as it kept twitching and jumping.
I turned her face, which was lost in climax, toward me and kissed her drooling mouth with her tongue sticking out.
Her tongue was stiff and tense from the spasms, so I sucked on it and savored it.
"Funnnuuuuuuuuh!!"
That seemed to stimulate her even more, and her tongue stretched taut.
After kissing her for a while and pulling away, her face was glistening with a lewd, melted expression.
I kissed her once more and decided to keep holding her until she regained her senses.
I really wanted to enter her, but we still had things to do tomorrow.
Besides, leaving Erika in a state where she couldn’t move here would be bad.
No, this is seriously torture...
Holding back like this is really tough...
I hugged Erika tightly, buried my face in her hair, and enjoyed the combined scent of roses and Erika.
I renewed my resolve to resolve our business quickly.
Honestly, I didn’t think blue-balling myself would be this hard...
