Chapter 143: Helping Deherit

"I came to pick you up. How is your wound?"

"It’s completely healed. I can run around now."

"That’s great."

"There’s a hot spring inn open over there. Both of you said you wanted to bathe, right?"

Sarika’s and Sol’s eyes sparkled.

"Really?"

"Is it true? Senior Ren! Yay!"

Sol’s reaction was delightful.

As she hugged me, I naturally caressed Sol’s breast.

Isolde knew everything but pretended not to, nuzzling against me in my embrace.

"Let’s go."

"Ren, you’re truly the best... Ugh... Really the best. The best boyfriend this quarter, this year, no, the best boyfriend of a lifetime"

"Your reaction is overly dramatic. Did you turn on the broadcast?"

"Sir, may I carry you this time?"

"I don’t want to ride on my little junior’s body."

Both cling to me with joy.

Thankfully, the wound has healed.

"Huh?"

At that moment,

A pained moan echoed from a corner.

"You two go on ahead."

After sending Sol and Sarika on their way, I went to investigate.

Deherit was lying in the bushes near a flower bed, unable to open the hospital door.

Her thigh muscle was torn, rendering her incapable of moving properly.

"Have you been here the entire time?"

"Ugh... Ugh..."

"Why are you being so stubborn? Not using a disguise? There are people here trying to catch you."

Poor thing...

It seems like she’s planning to take revenge during the next mission.

"I’ll open the hospital for you; at least receive some treatment."

"I don’t need it."

"I’m helping because if you die while being this stubborn, I’m the one who will feel like a fool."

To be honest, going somewhere unknown isn’t a big deal. But it would be quite unsettling if someone were to die from wounds incurred during an exchange battle with me.

[Permission to enter the hospital—Deherit Ade]

"Do you see over there? I’ll unlock the house at the end of the block on the right, so go get some rest."

"...Why?"

"Why are you like this? Don’t think you’ve received any favors."

"Damn it."

"I’m only helping you so you can experience the feeling of being assisted by a Fleshlight Collector."

"..."

It seems unlikely that we’ll see each other after this exchange anyway. Mira has already told me everything about Deherit’s use. After all, this exchange battle provides no reason for him to restrain me any longer.

"I’m going."

There’s nothing more to discuss. My level has increased significantly in 2R: martial arts and marksmanship have both evolved, and my stats have improved tremendously.

Among them, the most significant reward was the stat boost I received after ejaculating inside Elle’s vagina.

**Ren Asahi**

41 Lv(D)

Strength『181』(+33)

Agility『112』(+28)

Stamina『123』(+26)

Technique『183』(+20)

(Hidden) Magic『10』(+6)

(Hidden) Charm『999』

(Hidden) ——『20』

My primary stats have now begun to surpass the A-rank threshold of 180. It’s safe to say that, including the additional stats from collecting the encyclopedia bonuses, I’ve already comfortably exceeded them. As long as I don’t purchase Deherit’s stats separately, the gap between us is destined to widen.

I’m busy enough just looking after my girls.

*Sigh.*

Upon returning to the inn, I found a stunning woman with flowing red hair reminiscent of a lion’s mane standing in the entrance. She was wearing only a yukata, revealing half of her ample breasts.

"Oh?"

Who...?

"Deherit."

"You Hilaria...?"

"You said the senior who opened the inn! Thank you!"

Her figure is incredible. This girl should wear less rather than more, as it would accentuate her femininity. Particularly, the absence of that irritating greatsword makes her chest even more prominent.

"But did you really have to accommodate the imperial army too?"

"I’ve decided to grant access to those who ask politely."

"Hmm. A true gentleman passes the test."

It appears Hilaria has her own criteria for judging a man’s worthiness. She stood straight in front of me, craning her neck to meet my gaze.

Though she was tall for a woman, my height of 188 cm left her with no choice but to look up.

"Senior, there’s something I want to tell you."

"Go on."

"You’re exactly my type for a husband. Let’s make a baby together!"

This wasn’t just an outrageous remark, but sheer madness beyond imagination.

"I like your strength and, most importantly, your intelligence! Our child will be incredibly smart and strong."

"...No."

I hadn’t even mentioned getting her pregnant. Yet she was already envisioning our offspring. Hilaria casually placed her hand on her hip and laughed. Her chest jiggled with each chuckle.

"What!? Senior, please give it some thought. The benefits of being my husband include bringing home the money. All you need to do is plant your seed inside me."

"..."

So, she was suggesting...

A reversal of traditional gender roles?

He was a truly invigorating and spirited junior.

It wasn’t that he was stripped; rather, how should I put it?

"Let’s eat first and then talk things over, Hilaria."

"Yes! You need to eat well to produce high-quality semen, right? I’ll share my meat too!"

She was a genuine warrior woman, a concept I had believed to be nonexistent.

The moment she entered the inn, it was quite a predicament, as her cock was already swelling.

As Hilaria turned her back, showing off the contour of her hips while moving away, a familiar skill was activated.

[**Fleshlight** Aptitude Assessment]

[Hilaria]

[Conquest Difficulty: S (crossed out)] [Fleshlight Aptitude: SS+]

[Virgin] [Underwear: None]

[Fleshlight Trait (★)] Since childhood, she has been known as "Hanging Hilaria," and therefore, she’s skilled at clinging to a man’s body and making good use of her own. Unaware during her virgin days, her favorite position is being on top

[Instinctively, she chooses tall, sturdy males as her partners, as they can support her well.]

In her first year, she’s the Climbing Empress with the highest body worth. A former Weekly Bouldering World Champion of the Worldwide Hunter Association. She’s a student who’s great at "hanging" onto things. Boasting ample breasts and buttocks befitting her large frame.

Her specialty is swinging a greatsword with tremendous force, thanks to her incredible grip strength. With her unique "climbing" talent, which allows her to support all her weight even without gaps in the wall, she has perfected her own distinctive and ferocious beastly swordsmanship.

Underwear... None...?

Is she implying she’s undressing "now"? Because she’s wearing a yukata?

Originally, I had heard that a yukata was like an undergarment worn over bare skin to absorb sweat.

But in modern times, it’s common to wear underwear beneath it. No.

She’s simply flaunting her body’s contours!

I followed Hilaria’s ample footsteps as if under a spell.

"Ren Asahi, you’ve arrived. The meal is just about ready."

"Thank you, Grania."

"Rice is important!"

Inside the inn, there was a space for several guests to dine in groups, separated by paper screens.

The female staff bustled about, serving appetizers.

Additionally, sashimi, side dishes, and grilled dishes were artfully displayed on the table, showcasing their vibrant colors.

"Big brother!"

However, what captured my attention even more were my sisters, comfortably seated in their yukatas.

Yuna extended her hand with a beaming smile.

A pleasant fragrance wafted from Yuna, who had just emerged from her bath.

"I’ve been waiting for you!"

"I was going to eat everything if you didn’t come."

"You were searching for me earlier, weren’t you?"

Cleo averted her eyes bashfully.

"I’m here now."

Smoothly, I sat down between Cleo and Yuna as if it were the most natural thing to do. Yuna leaned her body toward me.

"The bath was truly wonderful, brother."

"Thank you, Senior Ren Asahi."

Brigid, who had been sitting in a corner, bowed her head in gratitude toward me. Isolde and Sarika, who had participated in the second-round mission with me, were also present.

Separated by traditional Japanese paper screens, wooden doorframes with paper applied.

Kibele and her junior female students seemed to be on the other side.

The sliding door opened, revealing Kibele seated with her head bowed in thanks.

"Thank you, senior. We’ll enjoy the meal."

The voices of the juniors echoed hers.

"We’ll enjoy the meal!"

You’re already eating sashimi, though.

"We’ll enjoy the meal, yum yum!"

"Thank you, senior!"

"Alright, everyone digs in."

Our seating area was in a special room. Although it seemed that Grania had made some distinctions for VVIPs,

Today, everyone dines together, irrespective of whether they belong to the Imperial Army or the rebels. My heart races at the sight of these lovely heroines gathered in one place.

"Am I the only man, really?’

"Bring me the finest traditional liquor here!"

Hilaria starts with alcohol. Elle sits next to Cleo, casting furtive glances around her. Once I’ve picked up the appetizers, everyone begins eating.

"Brother. Ahh."

"Ahh."

I can’t resist when Yuna picks up a morsel with her chopsticks and offers it to me with an "Ahh." I accept it immediately.

As I savor each bite of the appetizer, Grania speaks up.

"After enjoying the appetizers, please have this clear soup dish... Take it to warm your insides and cleanse your palate before moving on to the sashimi."

Hilaria, already ignoring the proper order and drinking fruit wine first, doesn’t even listen. But I follow Grania’s guidance and start with the soup dish.

"When eating sashimi, it’s better to savor the white-fleshed fish before the oilier red-fleshed fish."

"It’s delicious."

"After that, please sample the grilled fish and this braised dish."

Grania lit a fire beneath a pot filled with organic vegetables and beautifully marbled beef.

and smiled serenely.

"You can enjoy the beef once it’s cooked through."

"Beef! Thank you."

I can’t resist beef.

"Additionally, our inn’s signature dish is this ’braised eel’."

"Eel..."

I do like eel.

"It’s particularly effective for enhancing male vitality."

"..."

Somehow, the story seems to be directed at me, the sole man in the room.
