76. Subscription Test (2)

“What colleague? The guy who went to ask for a favor is suddenly a colleague?”

“Oh…right…”

After stopping by the association and completing the herbal medicine request, I felt sorry for Mion, but postponed our dinner appointment and hurried back to the inn. Over dinner with Claude and Sia, I brought up the subject of Lauren.

“Hey, would you believe me if I told you my name was Claude Elf?”

“El… Are you talking about the crazy red hand Juri? You crazy bastard!”

“What are you talking about, Red Hand?”

“Haa…”

Claude’s explanation continues. Until recently, there was only one elf in the city, and they said she was a crazy bitch.

“I think I was level 6… Anyway… I explored for about 20 years and got lazy so I settled down in a back alley. I heard a city opened recently, but why is that girl here!!”

“Back alley? Do you know anyone there?”

“Ahem…ahem!! The place I used to go often…”

“Ah.”

I guess he was a manager or action captain on the window side or something.

“Someone else besides him. It’s been a month since I came to the city, but I haven’t been able to do a single party matching because of that elf, Juri.”

“Really?”

“I met him while gathering, had a quick chat, and tested him. He seemed to have talent as a tank.”

“Uh….”

“The physical training period alone is 150 years.”

“Gasp…!”

Claude’s mouth fell open in shock at the overwhelming number of years, and Sia also asked me questions with a face full of curiosity.

“Cain.”

“Oh my gosh.”

“Elf, are you a girl?”

“Yeah, because Sia is uncomfortable with men.”

“Huh… How old are you?”

“I heard you’re 200 years old this year?”

“Ugh!! Ha…Grandma?”

“In our time, she would be about 20 years old. Elves live a long time.”

“…..”

People who rarely have the chance to see elves imagine elves as fairy tale fairies, and it seems that they are more curious about Sia’s face than they are disgusted by it.

“First of all, even though you only registered the Explorer Card and your status didn’t go up, your strength is incredibly high. And since the training is brutal, you can get a lot of help from that experience during our training.”

“Um….”

“Grandma….”

“First of all, if you want to go down after reaching the third level, it’s impossible with just three people. If you want to recruit new people at that point, you may have to pay a lot of money, or there may be problems in the process of dividing the income.”

“Should I raise it in advance and take it with me?”

“That’s right.”

Claude, who noticed my intentions, also looked troubled, and Sia just thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

“Sia agrees!”

“Oh.”

The fact that Sia asked if he was a girl was a bit of a jealousy thing… but if the new party member was a guy, it would have been more of a rejection, so he asked first.

As Sia quickly agreed, Claude, who had been thinking for a while, looked at me and spoke.

“Me too… Well, I’ll check tomorrow and decide, but for now, I’m thinking in favor.”

“I told you to come around breakfast time tomorrow morning, so let’s have the interview then.”

“Yeah.”

Claude was initially negative about the notoriety of the underworld known as Juri, but when he was told that she was a completely unrelated character, he seemed to accept it.

When asked if Sia was a girl, her eyes sparkled, so it seems that there was a considerable amount of agreement that she was a female elf.

But I keep feeling like I’m forgetting something. What is it?

“Cain!!”

Boom!

Kwuuk!

“Sia is heavy.”

“Really?”

“No.”

“Kyahaha.”

After dinner, I was going up to the second floor when Sia ran onto my back, jumped on me, and carried me.

“Are you going to give Cain Sia a massage?”

“Oh, go to sleep first.”

“Okay.”

Claude looked at Sia’s breasts being crushed violently on my back with slightly envious eyes, and then went up to the room first.

“That’s right, Sia, let’s shave today.”

“Ouch! Huh..already?”

“It’s been about 3 weeks already, I think?”

“Yeah….Sigh!”

Since I mostly touch and suck her pussy rather than masturbating alone, Sia was embarrassed and bit my ear because she didn’t check.

“You worked out hard today, so I’ll shave and do it with my mouth.”

“Yeah!”

Uncle Frank also occasionally watches Sia work out these days, and he seems impressed by her improved physical strength, so he gives her a lot of towels.

I’ve told Sia several times that she sweats a lot when she works out or gets massages, so I use it generously every day with Sia sucking and sucking.

“Let’s go.”

“Let’s go~”

Sia, who was hanging on my back, shook her feet back and forth and shouted along with me in an excited voice. I brought her to climax three times in her room with hair removal care and a blowjob, then took two feet out with Sia’s fellas and returned to the room.

When I entered the room, Claude was waiting for me with wide-open eyes, not sleeping.

“You came early today?”

“What’s fast? It’s similar to usual?”

“Is that so..? Hey, Cain.”

“Why?”

“Is it pretty?”

“Well… not bad.”

“Oh.”

“’Oh’ is fucking crazy, if you see how much he trains, you’ll feel inferior?”

“Is that it?”

“Uh, if your status goes up, we won’t be able to compete with you, right? So don’t think about doing something useless and if you accept me as a party member, we’ll have a company dinner tomorrow night, so after you’re done, sneak off to the tail room or something.”

“Thank you!”

When I generously handed Claude 1 silver, he got down on the floor and bowed to me. Then he smiled and went to bed.

“Oh my, simpleton.”

The next morning

“Hey, I told you the name of the accommodation, and you’re coming out to pick me up?”

“The personality is a bit like that.”

“Why? Dog car class?”

“No, that’s not it. Anyway, I’ll go and come back.”

“Yeah.”

After eating breakfast quickly and speaking to Claude and Sia, who were sitting at the table, I went out to the front of the accommodation building.

Lauren, wearing something like a shabby shawl, is loitering around in front of the hotel, smiling at me and shouting happily.

“Ah! Cain!”

“Shhh.. Did you forget Lauren? We have to stick to the concept.”

Lauren clears her throat and clears her expression, perhaps recalling my suggestion that they role-play like the ones in her fantasy hardcover books.

“Ah…ahh…!!! Ahem! Nice to meet you.”

“Okay, you know? You have to do well, right?”

“Don’t worry. I’ve played a lot of role-playing games by myself, so I’m an expert at this.”

“Are you showing off that you don’t have any friends?”

“Chi…Friend! Ju…Jujuri is here!”

“That jury is notorious in this town, you idiot.”

“Heeeek..”

“Anyway, if you do well in the interview and pass, you’ll be staying in the same dorm. Youngae.”

“Ah…ahh…uh-huh!”

When he calls her Young-ae and speaks politely, Lauren curls her legs and shivers.

“….”

“Hmm…hmm! Ah…human to guide you.”

“Yes. Come here.”

Ouch! Ouch!!

I led Lauren, who was following me with a trembling body, but who was maintaining a proud expression as much as possible, to the group.

“Okay, Lauren, here are our colleagues.”

“Ahem! Ba…nice to meet you, humans.”

Claude and Sia’s eyes widened at the sight of Lauren’s appearance, and they were both speechless for a moment.

“Wow… so pretty…”

“Passed!!!!”

“Huh?”

“Say hello first.”

Boom!

“Ugh…! I… I am the leader of this party, Claude. My level is 4.”

“Ah…hello….this is Sia…my level is 3….”

“I said hello yesterday, but I’m saying hello again. My name is Cain and I’m level 3.”

“Bo…. This woman is said to be Lauren of the Sarsil clan, the root of the world tree.”

Usually, when matching or recruiting a party, only your level is revealed at first.

And when the exploration is confirmed or a party member is recruited, they share their protection and general physical specifications, but Lauren, who always gets rejected for matching, proudly stands by only revealing her name.

“””….”””

Lauren, embarrassed when I notice, continues speaking.

“Re… Level 1! I haven’t been in the city long so I haven’t found a party yet… That… That human over there made me an offer….”

Claude stares at Lauren, who is talking with a bashful expression on her face and red ears, which to him looks embarrassed, but to others it seems like she is slightly embarrassed.

“Passed!!!!”

“Claude, what did you see and what did you judge it to be?”

“Uh… Wouldn’t it be okay to let you pass? You already did a bunch of tests yesterday.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Huh!!!”

Kook-

Slosh!

Sia snorts and clings to me, perhaps because she doesn’t like the sight of Claude looking so sullen.

Claude, who saw that, coughed a few times and then looked at Lauren again and made a suggestion.

“Um… Lauren…? Can I call you that?”

“Call me human.”

“There’s an empty lot behind the accommodations. Can I take a test there too?”

“Okay.”

In the middle of the empty lot, Claude was stretching his body with his sword, while Uncle Frank, the innkeeper, and Sia were standing in the shade.

And opposite Claude, Lauren was standing with a blank expression on her face, wearing the buckle I had borrowed from Uncle Frank on her right hand, so I quickly approached her.

“Lauren.”

“Yes..! Lord Cain…”

“Isn’t it fun?”

“Oh my gosh, it’s like a dream! Colleague!! Oh my..”

Flap flap!

I was talking to Lauren, covering Claude so that her expression couldn’t be seen, and Lauren was smiling like an excited child, her ears flapping.

“Let’s keep doing that for now… Even if you call it a test, it won’t be much. Maybe block Claude’s sword with a shield? ”

“Oh…yeah…I was a tanker…”

“If I pass the test and become a colleague… wouldn’t it be possible to sneak into your room at night and do gag training?”

“Huh..huh!.. I’ll do my best!”

“Even if I explained it to you, he’d still take it easy since you’re still level 1. You just have to deflect the sword with your shield with all your might, okay?”

“Yes!”

“I will cheer you on, Youngae.”

“Ughh …

Finally, as he delivered his lines like a porter, I could see her pelvis shaking sweetly.

After waiting for Lauren to collect her expression, she approached Claude.

“What did you say?”

“I told you not to be nervous because you seemed a little intimidated when I told you your level.”

“Wow…..but your looks are crazy…”

Claude still looks at her with a blank stare, perhaps entranced by Lauren’s appearance.

What could go wrong with Teston?

“Finish it quickly.”

“Okay.”

I also went next to Sia, and in the center of the empty space, Claude and Lauren stood facing each other.

“Lauren!! Here we go.”

Nod-

The moment when Claude shouted loudly and Lauren nodded with a nervous expression.

Taat–!

bang!!

What do you want me to do if I go at full power like a crazy kid?

I don’t know if it was because he was overconfident in my words or because he was nervous, but Claude shot at Lauren at the same speed as when he sparred with me.

And Lauren raised her arm and brought her sword down in an easy-to-block path.

“Haaah!!!!!”

Phew!!

“Huh..huh!!”

And then we hear Lauren’s voice, taken aback by Claude’s speed and swordsmanship, and she reflexively raises her right hand to block the sword.

Kwaaang-!

“Eww!!!!”

“Gasp!! Are…you…okay?”

“I… really passed…! Keuk.”

dump!!

“Claude!!!”

“Gyaak!!”

Lauren raised her arm in a halfhearted motion, as if she was swatting a fly away, and struck Claude’s sword with her buckle, sending him flying to the edge of the clearing.

If you swung it gently, it might not have mattered, but it seems like you held the sword with a lot of force, so it flew like that, and you’re even spitting up blood?

“Siaya!!”

“K..Claude!! Hui…recovery!!”

Woohoo-

Seeing Claude flying away like a broken kite, Sia ran over and used her protection to heal Claude.

Then Lauren, with a puzzled look on her face, approached Claude, who stood up unsteadily and spoke to Lauren.

“Did you use Gaho by any chance, Lauren?”

“Eh…Huh? Ahem! No, I didn’t use any protection or anything. Isn’t this a test anyway? ”

“Ah… You’re really amazing!! I’ll be counting on you in the future!!”

Claude smiled and shook Lauren’s hand, and Lauren shook his hand with a slightly moved expression.

I also congratulated her on her successful entry into the party.

“Congratulations, Youngae.”

“Ugh..! Go…thank you… Cain…..”

At my words, Sia blushed and greeted me, and Sia, who had been hiding behind me, came out and bowed 90 degrees to Lauren.

“Please take good care of me, Grandma Elf!”

“Ha…what should I do..?!”

“”…..””

I wondered if he was jealous of Lauren, so I looked at Sia’s face, but all I could see was an innocent face and eyes without any malice whatsoever.

Sia didn’t notice that Claude and I were frozen solid and moved closer to Lauren.

“You said 200 years old? But you’re really pretty!!”

“Uh… Sia.”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t it a bit rude to call her grandma?”

“Why? You’re older than Uncle Hawk. And you’re older than my mom and dad, Cain and Claude’s parents, and older than the village chief, so aren’t you a grandmother?”

“Uh…”

After Sia finished speaking, an air colder than death filled the empty space.
