Have You Ever Seen a Pervert as Handsome as Me?

"Why were you here, and what exactly did you just see?!"

The Elf Maiden holding a longsword to Yoru Machi's neck looked extremely embarrassed and furious. She had never expected that after finally coming home for once, taking a bath, and getting ready to change clothes, she would be thoroughly seen by an uninvited guest!

And she actually knew this uninvited guest... More accurately, she had only met him not long ago, and they had only just parted ways.

Cui, the Elf Maiden, was currently wrapped in nothing but a bath towel. Yoru Machi had appeared so suddenly that she had not had time to put on any clothes... Or perhaps she was afraid that Yoru Machi would suddenly open the door again while she was changing.

"You didn't follow me here, did you?!"

Cui stared at Yoru Machi with embarrassment and anger. Since he had saved her before, she had initially thought rather well of him. But after what had just happened, her impression of him had changed considerably.

She had lived here for some time. She had chosen to rent this place precisely because it was far from the streets and quieter than other areas.

She had first met Yoru Machi a few days ago during the subjugation of the Poisonous Demon Dragon, yet today he had abruptly appeared in her home. There was no way Cui would believe it was a coincidence.

Compared to coincidence, she was more willing to believe that she had been followed...

"If I said this really was just a coincidence, and that I live here too, would you believe me?"

Watching the sword edge press closer to his throat, Yoru Machi forced himself to say that.

To be honest, Cui was not the only one who did not believe him. Even Yoru Machi himself found the whole thing unbelievably absurd.

So the beautiful neighbor Soya had mentioned was actually the Elf Maiden standing before him. No wonder Soya had warned him not to provoke her.

In terms of strength, Cui, as a member of the Elf Race, possessed far more magical power than ordinary people. She could also use secret elven arts and had impressive swordsmanship, making her much stronger than the average human adventurer.

She had been defeated in her one-on-one battle with the Poisonous Demon Dragon, but that did not mean Cui was weak. It only meant that the Poisonous Demon Dragon had been too powerful an opponent.

"I moved in as a new tenant around a week ago. I live in the room across from yours, and there should still be the little luggage I have in there.

"And the owner of this house is Miss Sonya, who works at the Adventurer's Guild, right? This is the magic key she gave me. If that still is not enough to prove who I am, perhaps we can go to the Adventurer's Guild and confront Miss Sonya in person."

Looking at the sword held against his neck, Yoru Machi knew that with his strength, it was not impossible for him to escape before Cui could slash his throat.

But if he really did that, there would be no way to explain things clearly. Fleeing out of guilt would definitely get him branded a pervert.

Yoru Machi himself did not really care if people thought he was a pervert, but Cui was also one of Soya's tenants. The clerk had helped him so much before, and he did not want to cause her any more trouble.

"Even if you are also a tenant of this house, you should knock before entering. You understand basic manners like that, don't you?

"This house has two rooms, but the living room, kitchen, washroom, and other areas are shared by both of us. You should have understood that before moving in."

When Cui saw the key in Yoru Machi's hand and heard him mention her landlord, Soya, she had already believed that he was telling the truth.

But she had just been seen naked, and no matter how she looked at it, she was the one who had suffered a loss. Naturally, the Elf Maiden angrily rebuked Yoru Machi.

Still, scolding him was one thing. Now that she had confirmed Yoru Machi was not some pervert who had followed her here to peep on her, the Elf Maiden finally put away the deadly weapon at his neck.

"This can't be entirely my fault, can it...? Miss Sonya did tell me there was another tenant living here.

"But she also said that the other tenant only came back once every ten days or half a month. I never expected it to be such a coincidence that the other tenant was you.

"And Miss Elf, since you know the living room is a shared space, could you please not be so uninhibited? Why not change in your own room instead of right in the living room?"

Considering that Yoru Machi had saved her earlier, Cui had originally intended to let the matter rest. But after hearing what he said, she immediately bristled like an angry little cat, putting one hand on her hip. "Stop nagging! I didn't know you would suddenly move in here either. There had only ever been me here before.

"And don't act like you got the short end of the stick. No matter how you look at it, I'm the one who lost out just now!"

Since Cui had been the only one living here before, and she had not seen Soya since returning to town, she naturally did not know that Yoru Machi had moved in as well.

If she had known there was a second tenant here, Cui naturally would not have been so uninhibited as to change clothes in the living room.

It was true that Cui had developed some goodwill and curiosity toward Yoru Machi because he had saved her. But that was only goodwill. It had not reached the point where she would offer such an enormous benefit right from the start!

"Well, it was only a fleeting moment, and I closed the door right away. I thought it was an illusion, so I didn't really see anything.

"Besides, I don't think there was much to see on you anyway. At worst, I'll let you look back at me. And you're an Elf Race member, so who knows how old you really are? I'm a bright and cheerful young man. If I let you look back, you definitely won't be losing out.

"Anyway, if you want compensation for emotional distress or something, that's definitely not happening..."

Yoru Machi looked utterly sincere on the surface, but had he really seen nothing during that little moment of unexpected benefit?

Of course not! As a strong fighter whose swordsmanship training had reached a certain level, his five senses had long been honed to be far sharper than those of ordinary people.

Though Yoru Machi could not claim to have seen every detail of the Elf Maiden before him during that brief glance, he had at least seen everything he should and should not have seen.

And as an experienced old hand, even those few short frames had been stored in Yoru Machi's mental hard drive as several gigabytes of high-definition, lossless CG.

As for saying there was nothing worth seeing, that was naturally a lie as well. Cui's chest muscles were a little flatter, but that was only relative.

Compared with the abundantly endowed Rangiku and Sister Hana, there was naturally a huge difference. But as a long-lived member of the Elf Race, Cui's taut, fair skin was as flawless and pale as a baby's.

And "nothing worth seeing" was only in comparison to giants like Sister Hana and Rangiku. Compared to someone with a flat chest like Sui-Feng, Cui was actually quite well-endowed...

(I really don't understand why you all keep saying minotaur. The protagonist met the elf before Uncle did, so does that count as being the blond guy?

If breaking up original couples counts, then at least nine out of ten Naruto fanfics have Tsunade and Hinata as the female leads. What do you say to that?

If there's no elf, you say I'm giving away the girl. Now that they're only being a little ambiguous, you say it's a bull's head again. You people are really hard to please. (~_~;))
