Chapter 267

Yeah, Let’s Go to the Dungeon

“Right, so why don’t you dual wield swords?”
“Two, swords…!? I would be twice as strong!”

Simple girl, two-sword style isn’t so simple . There’s various matters to it, like physical strength .
But just to have her try it, I lent her the golem blade that was my reserve weapon .
However, it didn’t work out well when she tried swinging it .

“Hmm, I’m still not used to it . Fighting with just one sword is ingrained in me… ah . ”

During one of her swings, the golem blade broke in half . It was practically new, but it just suddenly happened… is it one of Sion’s effects?
Looks like two-sword style’s impossible for her . Sion seems to be a rather jealous magic sword .
It’d probably break anything that doesn’t have [Indestructible] or something similar .

“I-I broke Master’s magic sword…!”
“Yeah . Don’t worry about it though . I’ll bill you for that separately . ”
“Y-you’re demanding money for it even though you just said to not worry!?”
“You’re rich, it’s not like you need to be frugal . ”
“In that case, I-I’ll pay with my body!”

The moment Shikina declared that, Meat nonchalantly stood between Shikina and I .

“No . ”
“Umm… senpai? Why?”
“No . ”
“It is my burden to bear, I cannot trouble my house!”
“No . ”
“… M-Master…!”

I patted Meat on the head and poked Shikina on the forehead .

“Don’t sell your body so cheaply . I’ll let you off until you’re successful in your career . If you don’t want to trouble your house, make sure to compensate me yourself . ”
“Y-yes!”
“Meat, you have no complaints either, yeah?”
“… Goshujin-sama . ”
“Hmm? What’s up?”
“If you make a move on someone, I think there is already someone you should do so for first . ”

I-is she talking about Rokuko? She is my partner, after all .

After that, we went hunting for an iron golem for Shikina to carry back under the guise of training .

“[Body Enhancement]—! Fuuuunu!”

I honestly expected it to be impossible for her to carry back the human-sized lump of iron, but she was able to shoulder its weight through the help of her skill . She had to re-cast it every thirty seconds though .
Even Gozoh, a dwarf, has to use a cart . Skills are amazing .
… Maybe it’s also possible that Shikina’s simplicity is amazing?

*

“Well, this and that happened, but we figured out that it’ll be useful for us to acquire a massive amount of clothing . Also, I should be able to push off Gozoh’s iron golem hunting to Shikina . ”
“Hmm . ”

Rokuko came to my room, so I told her about what happened today .
By the way, Shikina collapsed out of exhaustion after bringing the iron golem back out of the dungeon .
As expected, using the [Body Enhancement] skill in rapid succession like that was hard on her body . I asked Ichika about it, she said that normally it’s a bad thing to not allow for some cooldown time . I decided to let her rest for the day .

“Hey, Kehma . When you, umm, when you saw Shikina’s clothes tear up… y-you didn’t get excited, right?”
“Nope, not at all . She doesn’t have an ounce of seductiveness to her at all, unfortunately . Even though the base materials are so nice…”

Yeah . Blonde elf, (former) female knight, boobs, butt, and great legs… even though they’re all so good, her mouth ruins it all .
She’d be cute if she just shut up .

I took another look at Rokuko .
Blonde hair, a doubly tasty existence for being able to be big despite being a loli right now, white knee socks going up her legs, and well-shaped feet . She even has a cute red tint on the sole of her foot (important) .
By the way, what I like about feet—the soles in particular—is the [Padding] portion . The place that looks like tiny meatballs on cats and dogs .
I love rounded toes and the plump area right where they meet the foot—ah . I got caught up by the seeing them up so close . Got off topic there… I really can’t overstate how squishy and great they look .

“Rokuko also has some great materials~”
“What, so I have something you don’t like as well…? Out with it . ”
“No, not really, Rokuko . ”

Honestly, I’m not dissatisfied at all . She’s adorable and I don’t dislike her slightly foolish personality .
She’s also a straightforward, hardworking person . Her good points have been increasing lately, too .
There’s a difference in our lifespans, but that just means she’d look young for my entire life yeah? I’d feel guilty for dying first, but my time will come when it comes .

And above all, she’s said that she likes me .
Yep, to be honest, I like Rokuko too .

… However, she has a super scary Onee-san who comes as a package deal .

I’m pretty sure that Haku-san will be watching me so long as I’m inside the empire .
In that case, it might be a good idea for me to leave the country . I’ve also had Wakoku on my mind for a while .

“Hey, Rokuko… want to go on a trip to another country this time?”
“Eh, Kehma? Are you alright? Do you have a fever? Have you been sleeping?”
“… Is me saying something like that so strange?”
“Yeah! Kehma, you don’t even leave your bed if you can avoid it . There’s no way you’d say something like going to another country without a good reason . ”

A smile appeared on my face . She reeeeally gets me .

“Right, maybe I’m feeling a bit off because of that stupid elf . Maybe I’ll turn in for the day . ”
“Ah, want to use the Godly Comforter then? I can come too if it’s right now . ”
“Using it without you there is scary…”

By the way, I tried out having a goblin use the godly comforter on its own as an experiment . It dried up and died .
Even though Rokuko said that it’d be alright so long as she gave permission .
According to her, she said that she didn’t want anyone other than me to use it… but it’s so dangerous that I don’t want to use it so easily .

“Hey, could we sleep together today?”
“… Separate beds . Bring your own . ”
“By the way, Kehma, please tell me about what that OOO thing the elf said is~”
“Mmm, don’t say that word, it’s vulgar . Particularly in front of Haku-san, that’s definitely a no . ”

If you really want to know about it, ask Ichika… No, I might get killed because of Ichika then? Rokuko, please stay pure, please .
