Chapter 15

"Hehe, thank you, big brother. Buying so much for me..."

"I also thank you for the purchase, so I do."

"There's no need for thanks. It's like Noelle earned it herself, after all."

After finishing buying various items at the general store, including clothes, they started heading to the next place. They were thanked by the two, but since Noelle was the main force in hunting, in a sense, it was like she had earned it. Hmm? Does that make me a freeloader... No, that's not it, definitely not.

"Where are we going next?"

"To the Adventurer's Guild. Estelle needs to register as an adventurer too."

We're going to be working together as adventurers from now on, so Estelle needs to register. The items that couldn't be sold were stored in a bag in a place where no one could see. Ah, it's so great to be light.

Upon arriving at the Adventurer's Guild and entering, a few people who noticed them stared at them. Following their gazes, they seemed to be looking at Estelle next to him.

"Welcome, Mr. Ohtsuka. What brings you here today... and who is that person?"

"This is a girl who will be forming a party with us from today. She hasn't registered as an adventurer yet, so can we register her now?"

"Yes, that's fine... Is she perhaps a mage?"

"Yes, she is."

They immediately went to the reception desk and were attended to by Mana. When he said Estelle was a mage, she looked surprised and dropped the writing utensil she was holding.

Is it that surprising?

"Sorry! Please fill out this form."

Mana, looking flustered, handed the registration form to Estelle. They moved to another table to fill out the documents.

"Why are you so flustered? What's wrong?"

"There must be very few mages. I rarely see them, after all."

Since entering the guild, the gazes directed at Estelle have not stopped. Her appearance clearly says "mage," and above all, she's cute.

Even while moving through the town, there were occasional men who looked at her and smiled lecherously. Some were even breathing heavily, and if it were just one person, it would definitely be a problem.

Noelle would also have been a target of attention if she showed her true face. If she were found out, I might become the object of jealousy.

"Here is Miss Estelle's nameplate. You start at G rank, and if you don't accept a quest within 10 days, it will be revoked. If you lose it, it will cost 1000G to reissue, so please be aware."

She took the black nameplate and examined it curiously, front and back. Then she tilted her head in confusion.

"Big brother, why is mine a different color from yours?"

"Of course. Mine and Noelle's are E rank, and Estelle's is G rank."

The plates hanging from my and Noelle's necks are blue. Since she just became an adventurer, it's natural that it's different.

"I feel left out. Can't I be made E rank too, big sister?"

"I'm sorry, but according to the rules, everyone must meet the conditions to advance in rank."

Estelle looked disappointed.

"I see... I understand. Big brother, I'll take a quest right now and become E rank."

"No, that's not possible right now. It's already dark, so let's do it from tomorrow."

The sun was already setting, and it was too late to go hunting.

"Ugh, can't I just wipe out the forest with orcs and goblins right now?"

"Stop it, absolutely stop it."

"I really might do it, so it's scary..."

Why does she have such a violent imagination? If I said yes, she might really do it, which is scary. Noelle is also a bit scared.

●

After finishing our tasks, we returned to the inn. We had dinner and took baths, and now we're relaxing in the room.

The bed was, as expected, for Noelle and Estelle to share, and I would sleep alone. I was worried that I might be called out for being unfair, but it didn't happen, so I was relieved.

"I feel unusually tired, even though we didn't go hunting..."

"Big brother, you don't seem to have much stamina."

"Ugh, I don't want to hear that..."

While responding to my muttering, Estelle was playing with Noelle's hair. She started messing with Noelle's beautiful long hair, which is usually tied at the bottom, turning it into twin tails.

Danger, she looks amazing. Just thinking about her true face makes my lower body react.

"Oh, this is cuter. How about taking off the eye mask too?"

"Absolutely not! Absolutely not!"

She was holding the eye mask, trying to prevent it from being taken off. I wish I could see it too.

"You're stubborn. Does big brother have any requests?"

"Then, a ponytail. Oh, but I also want to see a two-sided up."

It's refreshing to see a different hairstyle. In the game, I couldn't see other hairstyles, so this is great. If Estelle hadn't come, this wouldn't have happened, and I'm really glad she did. And I really want a camera app. Why, why didn't she come during the festival?

"Hehe, let's do both then."

"I'm not a toy!"

She started messing with her hair again, changing it from twin tails to another style. Noelle made a troubled, crying sound. Yes, it's good that they get along so well.

While Estelle was playing with Noelle, I decided to check her status.

Sitting on the bed, I launched the status app and captured Estelle with the camera.

――――――

Ah... I'll pretend I didn't see that. It's as expected, yes. It's the rarity value.

Putting that aside, her MP is really high. She's a mage, after all. In exchange, her defense is a bit low.

Magic resistance of 10 reduces magic damage by 10%. Magic ignores defense and can deal damage, which is useful when dealing with heavily armored enemies with high defense, like in GC.

Estelle is a powerful mage with high magic resistance. She's weak against physical attacks, but her destruction power when combined with a tank is amazing.

――――――

Scrolling down to check her equipment, it was indeed the special UR equipment.

The performance is really amazing... I want UR equipment too someday.

"Big brother, what are you looking at?"

"Whoa!?"

Estelle was suddenly in front of him. The other bed, where Noelle had been playing, now had Noelle, who had a ponytail and looked exhausted.

"Uh, no... items. Yes, I was looking at items I got from the gacha."

Danger, I need to cover this up. The status screen is still open. If the three sizes are seen, who knows what will happen.

"Hmm, really? Well, never mind, hey."

"Ah, wait, hey!?"

She looked at him suspiciously, making him break out in a cold sweat. However, she stopped looking suspicious and jumped onto his lap.

"Hmm, big brother, you have a good build."

She was rubbing her cheek against his knee, like a cat rubbing against him. Not only that, but she was also touching his body, which was ticklish.

"Mmm, it looks nice. I'm jealous."

Noelle, who had somehow recovered, came to his bed. He hid his phone under the blanket during the confusion.

Phew, it seems he got away with it. Hmm, I didn't really hear her say she was jealous, did I?

"Hey, Noelle, do you want to try too?"

"Sure, I do!"

"You're not going to ask for my opinion, are you..."

At Estelle's invitation, Noelle also came to the empty knee.

Hey, what's this? Why am I giving a knee pillow to two girls? To be honest, it doesn't feel bad, but I don't want my blood to rush down there.

Despite his thoughts, he was rubbed by the two for a while.
