The Little Adventurer, Rhodes / A Sword Witch's Day Off

"?"

"Ah Ye, I think we both need to calm down. If we want to modify the demonic contract on you, being calm is the most important thing, and I also need to cool down."

"???"

Chapter 342 Little Adventurer Ren

Aya Tokoyogi tried to struggle, but found that she couldn't break free at all.

"Um, I... I think we can slow things down a bit more."

She said, somewhat at a loss for words.

Although she had never been in a relationship, she had seen it all, and in her view, romance was just a variation of the friendship between her and Nangong Nayue.

Although she came here tonight with a very strong purpose, she also hoped to make contact with Ren.

But who could have imagined that Ren would push her down so directly?

And he's spouting nonsense about calming down.

She's completely unable to calm down right now.

After all, shouldn't the normal procedure involve us chatting first, then increasing my favorability, and finally unlocking a special CG due to some event?

Huh?

It seems that all three of these processes have happened to her.

The life conversation we just had certainly improved my impression of Ren, especially after the Prison Barrier incident.

Aren't these the three key elements to unlocking special CGs?

It's just a different order!

"Hmm..."

Aya Tokoyogi could feel a hand gradually moving from her back to Mount Fuji in front of her.

The unusual sensation immediately caused her body to tremble slightly.

In fact, Ren did not truly restrain Aya Tokoyogi; he merely held her in his arms as usual. Although she was not as strong as Ren, she could have easily used magic to teleport away, but Aya Tokoyogi clearly had no intention of doing so.

As for whether or not such a thing was thought out.

For a woman who could rise to the position of Grand Scribe in a terrorist organization like the LCO, maintaining composure was the most basic requirement in this situation.

The fact that she did not resist meant that she had acquiesced at that moment.

Those slight struggles were merely a woman's restraint at play.

In fact, that's exactly what Aya Tokoyogi thought.

Without using the Book of Dark Oaths to set up a magic barrier to remove the curse, there would be no more misunderstandings between her and Nangong Nayue. However, to break the demonic contract on her, she would have to pay something to Ren.

For her, chastity was equally precious, but giving it to a man she didn't dislike wasn't a big price to pay.

If she were to fiercely resist him now, and Ren were to kick her out of the house in a fit of anger, leaving her to spend the rest of her life paying the price with the devil, she simply couldn't bear such consequences.

There's an old saying that goes something like that.

I could have endured the darkness, but instead I was shown the light.

The more Aya Tokoyogi thought about it, the more terrified she became. Faced with the fear of losing her freedom, she could only choose silence and submission.

This sacrifice is nothing compared to my future!

"Waaah..."

Thinking of this, Aya Tokoyogi suddenly gasped.

When she came to her senses, she realized that a hand had somehow entered the secret garden.

The soft, marshmallow-like substance gently caressed Ren's arm, the slightly rough tender leaves providing a subtle stimulation to his fingertips.

He now transforms into the adventurer Little Belgris- Ren, and after traversing a desert, he catches a glimpse of an oasis.

Overjoyed, he pushed aside the obstructing branches and leaves, overcame numerous obstacles, and finally arrived at a spring that was constantly gushing forth clear water.

Clear, sweet spring water gushes forth from the springhead, as if the air itself is filled with a sweet and fragrant aroma.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to take a sip. Instead, as if he had discovered something, he slightly pulled apart the two banana leaves blocking the spring, revealing a hole large enough for one person to crawl through. At the same time, a clearer stream of spring water gushed out.

Upon seeing this, Little Belgris- Ren revealed a look of surprise, for his adventurer's intuition told him that there must be some kind of treasure deep within the spring, so he resolutely plunged into it, continuing to travel and explore.

During the adventure, young Belgris- Ren recalls lessons he learned as a child.

At first it was extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, but after walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up into a bright and spacious area.

Although there are no fertile fields or beautiful scenery, the spring deep within flows with an even sweeter and more delicious milky white honey spring.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Ren glanced at the witch beside him, who was now a pile of rotten mud, and sighed sincerely.

"There isn't a single one who can fight."

"Weak."

"Too weak."

I'll say it three times because it's important.

Ren sighed softly.

Given his current physical condition, most people can no longer satisfy his appetite.

Although Aya Tokoyogi tried her best to cooperate, she was still too incompetent.

At first, she held the idea that there was no land that was over-cultivated, only oxen that died from exhaustion, but she soon realized that her idea was ridiculously wrong.

After only a few dozen rounds, he was brought to the brink of death by Ren and lay there begging for mercy in a sorry state.

It was only thanks to Ren's restraint that he was able to remain calm; otherwise, Aya Tokoyogi would have been in a much more than just unconscious state.

However, when the sunlight filtering through the curtains fell upon her fair body, Ren once again had the urge to carefully examine the details of Aya Tokoyogi's model, to see exactly where the problem lay so that she could make improvements.

As the saying goes, if you lack physical strength, you can make up for it with technique.

And so.

When Aya Tokoyogi, who was in a deep sleep, woke up in a daze, before she could even speak, she began to beg for mercy again because of her insufficient physical attributes.

About an hour later, Ren grabbed a blanket and covered the unconscious Aya Tokoyogi with it. He then stood up, changed his clothes, and left the room.

Ten minutes later, when Astarte, the maid of the house, came in to disturb him, she found that Aya Tokoyogi had one hand behind her back, and a sliver of white was visible through the slits of her slightly closed eyes, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

There are also deep caves in the valley, from which thick stalactites gush out, seemingly endless and inexhaustible.

Astarte gazed at the witch's pitiful state, her fair face expressionless. She simply lowered her head, concealing any emotion in her eyes from others.

Astarte is not a robot, but an artificial life form that has been rapidly grown, and her mind has been implanted with a great deal of human knowledge by the puppeteer.

Therefore, she knew very well why what was happening before her eyes was the cause.

Ren didn't seem to care about Astarte's reaction.

His mind was no longer on this.

Nagisa Akatsuki and Yase Kanon had already gone to school.

There are still eleven host bodies and two doll maids left in the house.

The vampire sisters, as guards, should have left with Aurora. Instead, Aiba Asagi was still in the living room. When Ren appeared, he saw her chatting with Di Shanbo, while the other ten hosts were sitting or standing like robots, listening to them talk.

Upon seeing Ren appear, they all turned their gazes towards him.

Chapter 343 The Sword Wizard's Day Off

"You may continue."

Ren shook his head.

As soon as she finished speaking, Aiba Asagi stood up and asked hesitantly, "Um, about what happened last night, is it... is it true?"

"What?"

Ren instinctively assumed it was related to Aya Tokoyogi.

"Yes... it's about establishing a nation. You asked me to inform Itogami Island about the establishment of the Night Empire."

"Oh, is that it? If there's nothing else, let's get ready now. I have some things to take care of here, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, without giving Aiba Asagi a chance to reply, Ren left straight through the door.

The spacious corridor was silent, which gave Ren a sense of something unusual.

After all, under normal circumstances, there would be two girls in school uniforms carrying musical instrument cases guarding the corridor under the guise of surveillance.

However, Ren hasn't seen either of them since last night, which has piqued his curiosity.

To find out the reason, and because he needed their help with something, Ren went downstairs and pressed the doorknob.

Surprisingly, the door was not locked.

While it's true that with their abilities, even if thugs came to their door at night, they wouldn't be the ones to suffer, a shrine maiden who is meticulous in her daily life wouldn't make such a basic mistake.

After entering the room silently, Ren was able to see the room's decorations.

Although it was the residence of two girls, it was surprisingly simple.

The decor was minimal, with no unnecessary ornaments.

Besides that, there were two other presences in the bedroom.

Just as Ren was about to go over and take a look, one of the closed bedroom doors opened.

With movements reminiscent of a wildcat, Himeragi Yukina quietly got out of bed.

After leaving the room, she rubbed her messy hair, yawned slightly without warning, and a few tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, which she then wiped away with her sleepy sleeve.

While there were many surprising aspects, it's true that Himeragi Yukina wasn't very good at the early stages.

Perhaps because her consciousness was still somewhat hazy, and of course, it was also related to Ren activating his aura concealment, the girl did not notice Ren's presence until she left the bedroom.

Her empty gaze made her otherwise mature and cold beauty appear even younger than usual.

Himeragi Yukina stood motionless at the doorway.

It wasn't for any other reason than that my brain, which wasn't fully powered on yet, was contemplating whether or not to go back to sleep.

But in the end, the girl in Ren's eyes finally resisted the temptation to go back to sleep and went to the bathroom tap to wash her face.

The cold water stimulation gradually brought the girl back to her senses.

Looking in the half-length mirror, Himeragi Yukina wiped the water droplets from her face with a towel.

I'm in good physical condition. Although I still feel a little fatigue from last night's battle, it's almost gone.

Her slender figure remains unchanged. If she wants to develop, perhaps she should try drinking two glasses of milk every day.

The girl, who was lost in thought about this, suddenly noticed that there was another person's reflection in the mirror.

In this situation, Himeragi Yukina, who has undergone rigorous training, reacts faster with her body than with her brain.

Her slender limbs quickly turned around, and then she used what is known in Aikido as the forearm flip to grab the intruder's wrist. Then, she used her waist to twist her body and the strength of her arms to try to subdue the uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared.

Generally speaking, even if an orc were hit like that, their body would be thrown away by Himeragi Yukina.

Despite being only a fourteen-year-old girl, she possesses strength greater than that of an adult. When facing a wild orc, she often only needs one strike to knock him unconscious.

However, this time it did not go as planned.

Himeragi Yukina's grip on the wrist remained unmoved, even with her other hand on the other's shoulder joint.

"You're so energetic so early in the morning, it was worth coming all this way to see you."

"Ah?!"

Hearing the familiar voice seemed to finally bring Yukina back to her senses. She released her slender hand that was tightly holding Ren and looked at Ren with a surprised expression.

"Mr. Ren, you... how did you get here?"

"I didn't see you in the hallway this morning, so I decided to come and check. So where did you two go last night? It's already nine o'clock, isn't it?"

Ren didn't care at all that he himself had only recently gotten up.
