Chapter 7

It was evening in the capital city.

After buying a slave, equipping myself with weapons and armor, and completing my adventurer registration, I stayed at the second tallest inn in the capital.

The top one is probably being used by the party of heroes, so I didn’t use it.

Even though it’s the second, the interior is luxurious.

Moreover, today I rented a suite with a bathroom.

It was on the top floor of the inn, with a good view, and consisted of two large, connected rooms.

Lilicia, who entered holding my hand, widened her eyes.

“W-What a fancy room...”

“Yeah, it’s the most expensive. It costs 7 gold coins per room, so 14 for both of us.”

“S-Such extravagance! You’re spending too much!”

Lilicia, disheveled in her nun’s habit, approached me.

I embraced her with one hand.

“Of course, I want to treat Lilicia well. ...You know, that. It’s our first time, and there’s no bath in a cheap inn, right?”

“Au... Master...”

Lilicia’s face turned bright red as she pressed her cheek against my chest.

Her soft warmth and breath were transmitted to me.

A warmth of affection welled up inside me.

Is she inviting me? ...No, I can’t tell.

For now, we sat on the sofa.

Lilicia leaned against my body, letting herself be held.

Her silver hair flowed, touching my skin. Her breath tickled my neck.

--Should I kiss her now? No, it’s too early, right?

It’s still bright outside, so it must be different.

Let’s try to spend the time normally.

“By the way, Lilicia.”

“What is it?”

“When you entered the room at the slave trader, you looked surprised when you saw me. Did you know me?”

“No, not really. I just thought, ‘Ah, it’s this person’ when I saw you.”

“This person?”

Lilicia closed her eyes sadly. Her long, lowered lashes were beautiful.

“I have something I must do... but I’ve forgotten what it is. I think I was told to protect children.”

“So that’s why you were at the orphanage?”

“Yes. The children were very cute, and I wanted to protect them... but I also felt it was wrong.”

“Hmm.”

“In the end, the orphanage was closed, and the children were taken to another orphanage... I thought everything I did was in vain. --But then I met you, Master.”

“Is it your mission to protect me?”

“...I don’t know. But just being with you, Master, makes my heart warm... I’m happy now.”

Lilicia wrapped her slender arms around me and hugged me tightly.

Her appearance, her gentle warmth, her earnest cuteness, and the softness of her chest pressing against me all had the power to break my rationality.

I felt an inexplicable impulse rising, and I naturally embraced her.

In my arms, her frail body became pliant.

--Her back and waist are slender, yet her soft chest presses against me even more.

I can’t hold back anymore.

“Lilicia... I’m going to...”

“Y-Yes.”

Lilicia’s violet eyes were moist, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

--Oh, how beautiful. But... is it really okay for me to do this?

I couldn’t make the final decision, even as I leaned in.

Then Lilicia wrapped her arms around my neck and brought her beautiful red lips close.

She closed her eyes dreamily and pressed them against mine.

And our lips touched.

A soft, moist tenderness that seemed otherworldly.

--Is this what a kiss is... It feels so good it makes me tremble.

Lilicia then inserted her tongue.

She entwined it with mine, making a lascivious sound.

The intense pleasure made my spine shiver, and I was inwardly shocked.

What, what? Do you really put your tongue in a kiss!? Is this a real kiss!?

Thinking it would be bad to let her do all the work, I also embraced Lilicia and returned the tongue.

“Aah...”

A pained sigh escaped from the corner of Lilicia’s red lips.

After that, Lilicia moved to take off my clothes.

I mimicked her movements and returned the favor.

Her long silver hair flowed over her white skin, and her large breasts swayed beautifully.

--And then.

Lilicia, blushing from ear to ear, was trying to suppress her voice.

She looked up at me with moist, droopy eyes, filled with longing.

“Master... there’s something I need to tell you.”

“What is it?”

I asked while kissing her abundant silver hair.

“Aah... This is my first time... I might lose my healer’s powers.”

“It’s fine. I’m told I’ll lose my hero’s powers when I lose my virginity too—”

“Such a thing—Aah!”

I didn’t care what she was saying.

If I had a slave with common sense, it would have been better.

My impulse couldn’t be stopped.

I continued to love her deeply until the end.

In the suite dyed red by the sunset, our shadows merged into one.

And I colored the pure, white paper that was Lilicia entirely in my own color.

Lilicia’s voice rang out especially high.

--But it didn’t end there.

Flap.

Suddenly, flap.

White wings, flap.

For some reason, a pair of pure white wings suddenly spread from Lilicia’s back.

Beautiful wings like those of a swan. Feathers scattered around, glowing in the sunset.

“Huh...? What?”

“Aah... Master... What?”

We stared in shock at the suddenly appearing white wings.

We could only stare, our thoughts frozen.

Remaining funds: 24 large gold coins, 1 gold coin, 5 large silver coins, 1 silver coin.

2,415,100 goats.
