Chapter 88 88 – The Punishment

“Ahn…. Ahnn….”

I don’t know how many times Elise did push-ups in front of me. I could see lots of glittering beads of sweat on her cleavage. Meanwhile, Mona just sat with a gloomy face, maybe because her master had not invited her to play.

My head felt a soft, soothing stroke again. One side of my face felt the softness and tenderness of Yua’s bare thighs. The kunoichi knelt and let her thighs become a pillow for me.

I rubbed the surface of that fair-skinned thigh. It gives a pleasant sensation in the palm of my hand. This is heaven.

“Are you really sure that this is my punishment, sir?” Yua stroked my hair again. She’s fully recovered, so she can do this—knees down and let my head rest on her lap—for hours.

My eyes intended to glance at her face, but her massive breasts blocked my view. “Hmmm… You want more punishment than this?”

The kunoichi just chuckled.

“Sir…” Elise’s sigh showed that she had been struggling a lot. “H-how long do I have to do this?”

I was amazed the female warrior could do that for more than six hours. However, I was more surprised at myself, who remained in this position for the same duration.

“You must increase your strength before learning the newest skill, Elise. Your strength is even below Yua’s as a ninja.” I opened the status tab of the female warrior. “You can’t learn that new skill I chose before your strength increases.”

I stood up. “Well, it turns out that your strength has finally increased, Elise.”

Yua breathed a sigh of relief, then got up with a grimace and held her knees. Meanwhile, Elise lay face down on the floor, gasping for air and sweating buckets.

I checked the stats of the kunoichi too.

[Yua Nakagami]

Magic: E-

Skills:

[Body pocket – Ability to store something on the body without being noticed, even if naked]

There has been no significant change in the ninja’s stats because she has only carried out one mission. However, her attributes were enough for her to learn a new skill.

I took out two thin books from my hands.

“This…” Elise raised an eyebrow when she got the black book from me. There’s a picture of a skull on the cover of that thing. “This is different from the skill books I usually use.”

“It is a special skill that is unlocked after obtaining that special sword.” I pointed at the female warrior’s black sword propped up on one of the pillars. “And I think that’s very interesting.”

“Hey, maybe this is the skill Taka used?” Yua smiled brightly as she looked at the book I gave her. Seeing the expression on my face, the kunoichi gave me a mischievous smile. “I was just thinking about my friend, sir. If it made you angry, I’m sorry.”

I sighed, wondering why I was upset over such a trivial thing. “Learn those skills before you two go below….”

Looking at the exhausted Elise and Yua’s legs that were slightly shaking from being bent too long, I shrugged. “Well, maybe you should rest first until your tiredness wears off.”

After saying that, I left my two servants to check the quests in the pond. Even though I already knew those quests, I decided to choose them carefully by reading them all over again.

My ears heard a ringing, followed by a glowing call icon. Another call from Renee. This is the umpteenth time from her.

“What’s wrong, Renee?” I rubbed my face in disgust. She kept contacting me, even while I was supervising the mission. “How many times have I told you, you should only contact me when there is something very important. I hope you don’t disappoint me this time.”

“But you always answer my calls, Sir Raymund!” The woman replied in a cheerful tone.

“That’s because, who knows, you might actually give us something important.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take Elise to something really good!” Renee was getting more and more excited.

I’m not sure that Renee will provide any valuable quests. She had asked me many times to let Elise join her mission, but the pay was too small, and the skill points earned were minimal. Not to mention the repetitiveness. It’s all about defeating some particular monsters.

“So, what is it?” I really didn’t expect much.

“Today is Lauren’s birthday, and we’re having a party!”

[New Quest]

[Lauren’s birthday]

Credit points: 100

Skill points: 0

Hell no. I hung up the call, then blocked Renee for a while. It was a completely shitty and unimportant mission. Better to choose the one in the pond.

[A young master wants to become an adventurer]

Credit points: 3500

Skill points: 1

[A noble need someone to carry a mysterious package]

Credit points: 7000

Skill points: 2

[A group of youths accidentally release the seal that is confining an ancient demon]

Credit points: 10,500

Skill points: 3

So, this quest selection is back to normal, huh? I’m not forced to choose a hard level again?

I definitely can’t ask my servants to face a demon again after the previous mission. This third mission is a big no.

I’ll choose the first mission, which is usually more relaxed. I don’t want Elise and Yua to be too exhausted mentally. Especially Elise. She had just done two consecutive demanding missions.

The cloud of fog drew closer to me, and Erbau appeared. He flashed a broad smile. “Sorry, I came without informing you beforehand. I just want to watch your servant go on a mission.”

“It’s okay.” I raised my eyebrows. There was something strange about Erbau’s smile. “But, you have to wait for my servants to practice new skills.”

“No problem.” Erbau looked at the women.

Closing her eyes, Elise was holding her sword pointed down. That weapon emitted a kind of thin black smoke. Meanwhile, Yua was sneaking around while reading the skill book I gave her.

They ignored my advice to rest.

The god of buildings nodded. “Ah, a new servant, huh? Just hit me if you want to build more temple.”

“Of course.” I smiled back, not going to tell him I was really broke.
