Day after the treatment of Franc.
I wake up with Yuels face directly in front of mine. We're on the same 1 person sized bed that we were on yesterday, in the same manner as yesterday. Still, for a single sized bed, it's pretty warm and comfortable. It's Spring right now and the weather is a bit chilly.
In this world there are four seasons, it's almost exactly like Earths calendar. The difference is in the terms, it is January of Spring now. In the sense that the first month of Spring in Japan is March.
The morning is decently cool.
Clinging onto me, it was easy to understand that Yuel is extremely thin. Although it's common to think that slim girls are the best, there's a profusely noticeable feel of bone. I was thinking of exploring deeper into the labyrinth, but that may still be impossible for Yuel.
It will be troubling if a mistake is caused by her lack of strength or agility. It'll be easy to heal physical wounds, but if she looses confidence or get's a fear of monsters because of a mistake, I can't heal mental wounds. And I can also afford to not go deeper into the Labyrinth for now.
I have enough for tomorrows accommodation fees as well. And since defeating Goblins is a cinch, it might be nice to not go deeper for now.
While inspecting Yuel's body, I think all that. Yuel awakens with a slightly red face and is staring at me with a surprised facial expression. She then closes her eyes as if waiting for a kiss
Wrong!
This is a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to be toying with Yuel's body, I was only checking to see if her body was healthy. I didn't mean for her to become embarrassed. But now I've been misunderstood and Yuel is closing her eyes and waiting for a kiss.
I wonder if should give the kiss or nor. I feel that I wont be able to escape being called a Lolicon.
It's also impossible for me to correct Yuel's misunderstanding. This is dangerous, there's a possibility of this escalating past just a kiss. To make matters worse, Yuel has changed from her face being slightly red, too being dyed in bright red. But in the end, this is my mistake.
This is embarrassing.
I don't think I'm blushing, but i wonder what state I'm in. In this situation it's possible to start pointing your finger and laughing at a woman, for example if the woman was Franc. But this opponent is the pure and lovely Yuel. Getting out of this situation could ruin her pure and innocent smile
What to do
Mission "Get rid of this opportunity without hurting Yuel" Start!
Normally in this situation one would kiss. However this is very likely to create problems in the future. It's a risk of our relationship escalating. A sinful relationship between a loli slave who yearns for you.
If possible I want to continue a pure relationship for a few more years. Too sexually assault a loli slave is respectably too evil. If I were to have any sort of respectable sex, it would likely be with Ruruka.
And although it is true that I'm yearning to do it when I see the Pure Yuel giving me such an expression and that I feel like i'm being ripped to pieces for tricking such a girl. Such a thing, I couldn't. I have to choose another option other than that.
Ah, it's useless. There's not enough time to think. Yuel is still red from ear to ear and her eyes are starting to water.
"tsu" (Yuel)
Oh sheet. Yuel feeling ashamed is dangerous, that's also something I have to watch out for. This could be bad if I don't take precaution. I'll just do this for now.
Immediately I begin stroking the back of Yuels head. I rhythmically stroke her smooth silver hair. Her very soft and light hair. And with every stroke I ask myself what I should do.
There's a good chance to get lost or at least you would if it wasn't for the route.
The shortest route to the lowest floor is connected through intervals and is paths with a good amount of signpost as well. The Labyrinth is regularly explored by the adventures guild and so far have cleared up to the 56th floor.
Because of this it's very unlikely for someone to get lost if you follow the signpost. It also only takes a couple hours to fully search each floor and proceed onto the next floor. However the amount of monsters in the vicinity of the regular route is low.
That's due to the plenty of adventurers that frequently go back and forth on the route. So to hunt on a floor you need to search after entering a side path from the normal route. There is also a higher chance of finding treasure boxes on the the side paths, rather than the main route.
Today's goal is to look for treasure boxes while hunting goblins on the 3rd floor. I hold onto our bento's while watching Yuel fight Goblins like she did yesterday. This time it was a group of 4 Goblins.
Yuel immediately rushes forward and cuts down two Goblins easily. As she does that 1 of the Goblins rushes towards me.
Only to be killed by Yuels throwing knife. She then moves onto the last Goblin and inserts her knife deeply into its eye-socket. Although the fight wasn't harsh, fighting groups of 4 might be our limit. Yuel aside, if a Goblin come towards me I'm likely to be beaten.
Yuel by herself is likely to be fine fighting against larger groups, but I would be a problem as i don't have any sort of weapon. The only thing I have at hand is our sandwich bento's. I don't fight with Yuel, because most likely I would just be in the way.
Though I do have the defensive option of healing myself and I can use an abundant amount of magic, I might die if don't heal myself before I'm beaten. Such a situation I don't even wan't to think about it.
The easiest thing to do, would be to send Yuel into the Labyrinth alone. But if I can easily Imagine that after Yuel diving into the Labyrinth, I would be fidgeting in frustration, worry and guilt while at the inn. I feel far better being with her.
I need to be a person who can only smile and laugh, someone who doesn't get mad. It seems to be necessary to have some self-defense options, before we venture further into the Labyrinth.
After retrieving the drops from the Goblins, I stroke Yuels head gently. We then begin eating our sandwich bento's. Because Yuel's hands are dirty I feed her like lovers would going "An". Looking at Yuel gnaw on her sandwich made it feel as if we weren't just fighting Goblins, like it was an illusion.
The Sandwiches are made with a green leafy vegetable that resembles lettuce, chunky ham, a type of salty-sweet dressing that's white with various spices.
The sandwich I held for Yuel slowly started to disappear until I could only hold it with 2 fingers. As I was feeding the last piece of sandwich, Yule grabs my hand. And then I felt a sudden warm sensation on my fingers.
Yuel licked me. Yuel is licking my fingers. She's slowly licking off the white dressing off my fingertip. She licks my middle finger, then my index finger and even my thumb.
I tried to withdraw my hand, but Yuel held onto my wrist firmly.My thumb in particular was drenched in dressing. And with my thumb hanging from her panting mouth I can feel the heat and the wetness of her mouth. Yuel licks and sucks on my thumb with a shallow breath.
"The dressing is spicy" (Yuel)
This, this could jeopardize my lower body. No all that happened was a slave cleaning her masters dirty hand. Surely it was for the sake of hygiene. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be misunderstood.
Even soIndeed this is. What Yuel did only seems immoral. Trying to reason with this is dangerous.
Somehow while maintaining my reason, I make it to the purchase counter. Todays earning is 3,100 Zeni. This time we continues to hunt until about 3 o'clock, but we still didn't discover a treasure box.
From what I heard at the Guild purchase counter, it seems it's easier to get treasure boxes the deeper you travel into the Labyrinth. The deeper you go in, the less adventures you find, so it's easier to find treasure boxes.
Apparently treasure boxes are relocated once they've been discovered, but it seems to take a while.
I want to venture deeper into the Labyrinth, but I'm afraid I would be beaten. For now we'll continue fighting Goblins until I've accumulated enough gold to buy some self-defense equipment.
