episode_0099

Before going to Norman’s mansion, I stopped by a special store and activated the warp function.

With this, you can easily travel between three major cities.

As for the number limit, according to what I checked recently, a person can travel 2 round trips or 2 one ways.

It resets at 7 a.m. every morning, but in some cases, even a day can be a huge waste of time, so you need to carefully plan your travel when you have important work to do.

It would be nice to increase the number of times or eliminate it altogether, but since you can no longer invest money in special stores, you need to find another way.

“By the way, do they sell sunglasses here? Um… Ah! Here it is. Guys, follow me.”

After finding the sunglasses in the sales list, I took my group to the place where they were on display.

Although there wasn’t much variety, I was quite satisfied with the sophisticated design.

The reason I want to buy sunglasses is, of course, because of the human face.

Since you have stepped into an incident related to the human face fish and decided to help solve it, securing a response plan is essential.

Laura and Iris were busy evaluating each other by actively examining or trying on sunglasses.

Erica, on the other hand, quietly looked at each one with her eyes, then picked one up and held it out to me.

“I’ll take this one.”

“Why not try it out first and then choose?”

“I can feel something just by looking at it.”

“Actually, I miss you, but is it okay?”

Erica nodded and agreed to my request, and I tried different types of sunglasses on Erica, but to my vain, the one she chose without even trying them on first suited her best.

“As expected, your sense of insight is much better than mine. Do you like it?”

“It’s my first time trying on such unique glasses, so it’s a bit unfamiliar, but I really like it. Thank you for buying me such a nice gift.”

“Then what about me? Does it suit you?”

“Hmm… I think this looks better than that.”

As if she had decided in advance, Erica immediately chose a pair of sunglasses, took off the ones I was wearing, and put them on.

When I looked in the mirror, like Erica said, what I was wearing now seemed to suit me better.

“Erica, the one you chose is definitely better. What does it look like to you?”

“It’s cool.”

“Oh, really?”

“Rebecca is definitely an incredibly beautiful woman, but there are many times when she looks cool.”

Erica poured out words that were unfamiliar to me without filtering.

I was momentarily taken aback and didn’t know what to say.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no. I was just a little surprised to suddenly receive an unexpected compliment. What can I say… Even if other people don’t know, it’s so nice to hear those words from someone you like.”

“Your favorite person… Rebecca is someone who falls in love quickly.”

Erica hit the nail on the head with an alluring smile.

It wasn’t wrong, so I couldn’t say anything in protest.

“That’s right. I did the same with Laura and Iris, and I fell in love with you just as quickly. I think I’m a person who really lacks affection. Did you feel bad?”

“No. It’s just a little awkward because it’s my first time receiving this kind of love from someone else. And I feel like the love of a wonderful person like Rebecca is beyond my means.”

Erica’s face turned red and she couldn’t make eye contact with me.

I stroked shy Erica’s soft cheek, then naturally grabbed her slim chin and lifted it slightly.

Erica’s lively lips and alluring appearance seemed to encourage me to kiss her first.

“Rebecca…”

Erica let out a hot breath as she called my name, lifted her heel closely, grabbed both of my shoulders, and gently leaned against me.

This is clearly a signal of permission.

I boldly placed my slightly dry lips on Erica’s moist lips.

Her lips trembled slightly, but she had no hesitation in accepting mine.

However, it seemed like Erica wasn’t ready yet to mix tongues together.

We focused on each other’s lips, making moaning sounds, and as time passed, Erica’s trembling subsided.

And when we finished our passionate kiss, Erica buried her face in my chest.

When I see the heat coming from her, it seems like she can’t bear to look at me because of the shame that comes after kissing her.

“Erica, from now on you are truly my woman. I won’t hand it over to anyone. So I hope you love me just as much.”

Erica, who heard the embarrassing words I said, silently nodded and expressed her agreement.

I stroked her head, then raised her head again, kissed her forehead and cheek, and then kissed her again.

Despite the surprise kiss, Erica did not resist and accepted my expression of affection obediently.

Each other’s lips were wet, and each time their lips parted for a moment, transparent threads hung down.

Erica carefully put her tongue into my mouth before me, and I greeted her by wrapping her tongue around mine.

I overwhelmed Erica with the tongue skills I had trained through Laura and Iris, and a dirty moan escaped her mouth.

Erica’s small, thin body trembled little by little from the unknown pleasure, and I fell more in love with her, stroking her delicate neck and narrow waist with my hands.

After instilling my love into Erica for a long time, I let her go.

Erica let out a sigh of regret and looked at me with an ecstatic expression and alluring eyes.

“This feeling is love. But why did I develop such burning feelings for Rebecca so quickly and without any major reason?”

“Like you said, isn’t it because I’m pretty and cool? Hehe, just kidding. Let’s figure it out together little by little. Because there is a lot of time and a lot of time to love each other.”

I held Erica’s hand and walked towards Laura and Iris.

Then the two people rushed towards Erica, not me, and congratulated her and said welcome from both sides.

Erica was distraught, but she made eye contact with me and regained her composure with a smile.

Ah, he is so cute, lovely, and someone I want to eat.

I looked at the three people squealing to each other with satisfaction and then left the specialty store with them.

And after enjoying a satisfying meal at a luxurious restaurant, just as I had wanted for a long time, we headed to Norman’s mansion.

Norman’s mansion, located near the outskirts of the city, had a very large site, so the distance from the entrance to the main gate was quite long.

Thanks to this, you could barely hear any noise from the city, and it felt like it was built in a faraway place.

We entered the grounds of the mansion under the guidance of one of the guards guarding the entrance, and only after some time had passed were we able to see Norman’s mansion up close.

Norman’s mansion, which felt small compared to the site, looked luxurious like any other nobleman’s mansion, but it had a somewhat untidy atmosphere.

We left the horse in the stable and went inside through the door opened by the maid waiting at the entrance of the mansion.

Not only were there no fancy decorations that would have been present in a noble family, the entire interior of the building itself was bare, and servants were hard to find.

It looks like the family’s economic situation is quite poor, but compared to other commoners, they must be living an affluent life.

As I was looking around the mansion, which was in a rather disappointing state, I made eye contact with a young brown bear beauty coming down the stairs of the mansion.

She was pregnant and almost to full term, but unusually, she didn’t seem to be suffering much.

She came down the stairs from the second floor and came in front of me. Although she was a little shorter than Norman, she seemed to be at least 190cm tall.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Priscilla Lotrabon. This is Norman’s wife, whom you met earlier.”

“Thank you for welcoming us. My name is Honorary Knight Rebecca.”

“Ah! You are the honorary knight who is the hero of Rizerka, right? After hearing about your achievements from my husband, I really wanted to meet you.”

Priscilla was delighted, holding my hand with both hands and speaking in a cheerful voice that did not match her tall stature and strict appearance.

It feels good to be honored in this way.

“Isn’t the mansion a bit messy? It’s embarrassing to say, but my family’s situation is getting worse… I feel sorry for putting a hero in such a shabby place.”

“Oh, no. Just receiving an invitation is enough. Which room should we stay in?”

“I will guide you through that.”

Priscilla smiled charmingly and took the lead up the stairs.

I was very anxious to see her, who was pregnant, taking steps without hesitation, but I was actually fine.

The brown bear tribe is one of the strongest among the strong beastmen tribe, so it seems that they are capable of such unstoppable behavior even though they are full-term.

“I’m glad I was able to host a good guest one last time before I sell the mansion.”

“The situation does not seem to be good.”

“Actually, the fortunes of the family have declined significantly since my father-in-law, who was the commander of the knights, went missing. The debt that my father-in-law had created without the family’s knowledge was enormous, and my mother-in-law, who suffered a great shock, collapsed and died.”

“It’s such a shame.”

“That’s right. But if it had ended that way, there wouldn’t have been a need to sell the mansion. All of my husband’s brothers, who had ample assets, ran away to other places, and my sisters also cut off ties to avoid repaying the debt.”

“That is a situation that does not feel like family affection or love at all.”

“Is that so? So in the end, my husband, who was the only one in public office and could not escape, ended up taking on all the debt. I don’t know why a good person who willingly took care of someone like me had to go through something like that.”

Priscilla wiped away tears and felt sorry for her unhappy husband.

However, even if I have some money to spare, there is no way I can solve the debt that is so large that I have to sell the mansion.

In that case, Norman may have asked for my help for reasons other than debt.

As of now, it appears that they are simply asking for help solving the giant wolffish attack incident.

“Cheer up. Something good will definitely happen. But a person like me?”

“I was originally a slave, but my husband freed me from slavery, overcame all opposition from my family, and accepted me as his wife. It’s already been 10 years.”

“10 years? Then get married at 15…”

“That’s right. He said he fell in love with me at first sight and proceeded to purchase and free me on the spot. He is a truly fiery person. I hope that my unborn child grows up to be a wonderful person like my husband.”

Priscilla stroked her stomach in a gesture full of love, revealing her deep feelings for Norman and their unborn child.

Hmm… the situation is similar to when I first met Laura, but Norman is a much more sane and upright person than me.

I happened to make eye contact with Laura, and she gave me a strange look.

What on earth does that mean…

While I was worrying for a moment, Priscilla opened the door of a room and showed me the inside.

“This is the room in the best condition in the mansion. There may be many shortcomings, but…”

“No. This is enough. Even if I wash my eyes and look for what’s missing, I can’t see it. Thank you for the nice room.”

I told a half lie.

To be honest, it is true that I am very disappointed.

If I had known the situation would be like this, I think I should have refused Norman’s favor.

However, my heart weakened in front of pretty Priscilla’s kind attitude, tears, and pregnant belly.

I will have to try the next opportunity to experience the luxurious life of an aristocrat that I wanted to give Erica to experience.

“I really am grateful. As expected, you are a kind person befitting the title of hero.”

“I don’t know about other people, but I am a gentleman towards beautiful women and children.”

“Hehe, that part is heroic too. Have you eaten anything?”

“Yes, I ate it before coming here.”

“Then we will bring you some refreshments, so please rest comfortably until then.”

Priscilla gave me a bright smile and gently closed the door.

Considering the family’s circumstances, it seems difficult to expect expensive snacks.

“Rebecca, are you planning on bewitching pregnant women too?”

“What? Oh no! Laura, what are you talking about?”

“Somehow, the atmosphere is similar to the one right before I drank alcohol with Veronica.”

“ugh! Don’t say things like that!”

“Yes, Rebecca. Huhuhu.”

Laura teased me for no reason and then comforted me with a short kiss.

Then he started looking around the room, looking for danger.

She always acted like that when she arrived at a new place.

Even though he played a lot of practical jokes on me, he always did his job properly, so I never thought it was mean.

“I think I’ll have to help you with some housework while I’m staying here. Although they say they will sell it soon, it is the house where the pregnant woman lives.”

“Good idea, Iris. When I have time, I will help you too.”

“Really? thank you. After all, Rebecca is a good person.”

Iris kissed me lightly and started cleaning the room, starting with opening the window and taking off the blanket.

It looks clean to me, but in Iris’s eyes, it seems to be lacking a lot.

Iris is an expert when it comes to cleaning, so it’s always a good idea to follow her lead.

And I walked over to Erica, who was thinking about what to do.

“Erica, don’t worry about what other people think and do what you want to do.”

“Then…”

Erica pulled my arm and kissed me again.

What you want to do is kiss? How can it be so cute?

I waited for refreshments, matching Erica’s expressions of affection until she got tired.
