CSA 94 - I Tried To Give the Dwarf Girl the Illusion That This Was a Dream

“Guild, guild, kimono shop, dry goods shop, tool shop, accessory shop, drugstore, public bathhouse...  a guildless system?”

No, wait, isn’t the drugstore fine? Isn't it?
I returned to the drug store I passed and entered the store.

“Welcome─”
“Do you buy potions?”
“We do─”
“Then please.”

I took out a high potion from Storage and handed it to the dwarf girl clerk-san.
Just to be clear, if she looks like a girl, even if she is over 100 years old, I’ll call her a girl. I don’t know if this girl is over 100 years old, though.

“Wo─w, you are a box holder I see! It's the first time I've seen one─!”
“Ehehe.”
“Then, let's get to the appraisal right away─”

Not using any appraisal items, she just picked it up and started looking over it, so this clerk-san must have Appraisal Skill.
...Which means that if she had appraised me earlier when it was revealed that I’m a box-holder, she would have been more surprised, so she must be a polite person. My likability toward her is rising rapidly.

“A high potion, is it... Nn─? A high potion? ...A high potion!?”
“It’s a high potion.”
“Ee─h! Did you say high potion─!?”
“It’s indeed a high potion.”
“But this, its level isn’t displayed, you know─!?”
“It's a perfected high potion.”
“Hyoe─!? Something this amazing, there’s no way I can put a price on it─!”
“I see. Then I'll dilute it with water and make it into a potion.”
“You can't!! Please don't do that!!”
“Ah, yes.”

Her tone had been sluggish until just now, but it suddenly turned serious. She looked into my eyes with a serious expression that I feel like I'm going to fall in love with her.

The dwarf girl with fluffy brown hair, a bunny face, and black eyes hid my high potion behind her back and tried her best to keep it away from me, but since I own it, I feel like playing a little prank on her.

“Then how much would you buy it for?”
“That’s... umm, uhh... about 1 million en?”
“One million en?”
“That's a lie. I'm sorry. It was 2 million en!”
“2 million en?”
“Eh, uh, umm, 3 million en?”
“3 million en?”
“Uh, 4 million en... is impossible... 3.5 million en is my limit...”
“3.5 million en?”
“Ugh, ugh, 3.6 million en, this is my true limit...”
“3.6 million en?”
“Ah, ah, 3.65 million en is really my true limit!”
“3.65 million en?”
“It’s 3.65 million en!”
“3.65 million en...?”
“It's 3,65 million en! Anymore than that is impossible!”
“3.65 million en...”
“Uh, uu, 3.7 million en... please let me off with this! Please!”
“3.7 million en?”
“It’s 3.7 million en!”
“3.7 million en...?”
“It’s 3.7 million en!”
“...3.7 million en”
“Any more is impossible! At 3.7 million en, I'll actually be in the red! I can't go any further than this!”
“3.7 million en......”
“...Uuu, at 3.71 million en I should be able to get by with my secret stash...”
“Hmm, 3.71 million en, huh... I see, I see, so that’s how it is.”
“What’s with you?! I can't afford any more than this, you know!? If you want me to buy it at such a high price, please go somewhere else!”
“Then, can I have it back?”
“Eh...?”
“That high potion, give it back?”
“Ah, uh, how can that, it’s 3.71 million en, you know!? You can only get that kind of money here!?”
“Give it back? My high potion.”
“No, I don't want to... even though I was able to obtain such a valuable potion, this is just too much...”
“Give it back?”
“Uuuu, I don't want to, I don't want to! I won't return this! I bought this for 3.71 million en! This high potion is already mine!!”
“I see... then 3.71 million en is fine, but since when did you get the idea that I only have one bottle?”
“Eh...?”

I brought out about 100 bottles of high potion directly from Storage and onto the wooden desk.

“Ah, eh, what, is this...?”
“They're all high potions, you know? You'll buy them for 3.71 million en, right?”
“Aha, ahahaha, ahahahahahaha, ah?”

Perhaps her brain had overloaded its capacity, she suddenly started laughing, but then her eyes rolled over, the whites of her eyes showed, and she passed out.
Each of her reactions was so cute that I went a little overboard... I reflect.

I put the high potions I brought out on the wooden table and the high potion she was holding tightly in her hand into Storage, went back to the entrance of the store, took out a bathtub from my inventory, poured high potions into that bathtub, and filled it with water using Water Magic, until, while checking it with the Appraisal Skill to make sure it’s just a potion, diluted its potency. All that's left to do is fill the empty bottles that have become fertilizer in Storage with it and the potion is complete.
I've filled about 100 bottles, so I'll keep only 10 on hand and put the rest in Storage.

Now then, let's wake up the dwarf girl clerk-san with Awakening Magic.

“...Ha! ...A dream?”
“Excuse me. Do you buy potions?”
“Eh, huh? Just now... huh!? What about the high potions!? How much of that was a dream!?”

It's also cute to see her confused as she can't find the high potion she was supposed to be holding tightly.

“Um, are you okay?”
“You! You came here to sell a high potion, right!? You did, right!?”
“No, they’re just normal potions though...?”

I placed the potions I had in my hands on the wooden desk.

“You have an Item Box, right?”
“No?”
“How can that... is that really a dream?”

She looked as if she had been bewitched by a tanuki and started groaning.
Aaahn, if she's so cute, won’t I want to bully her even more? Guhe, guhehe.

“How much would you buy them for?”
“Umm, wait a minute... fumu, fumu fumu, amazing! All of these potions have no impurity! I can buy all of these for 10,000 en!”
“10,000 en?”
“H-how about 12,000 en...?”
“12,000 en?”
“Haa... haa... could it be, is this a dream too?”
“What's wrong?”

The dwarf girl tried to pinch her own cheek, so I cast Paralysis Magic on her so it wouldn't hurt. How kind of me. Mufufu.

“It doesn't hurt at all... so this is just a dream...”
“A dream, is it? Then you can do anything, right?”
“Anything...?”
“If I were to realize that I was in a dream while dreaming, I would quickly do something lewd with someone nearby. When I realize that I am in a dream, I usually wake up quickly anyway.”
“Lewd things... If I ask you to get naked, will you get naked?”
“Yes.”

I put away the clothes I'm wearing in my inventory and instantly become completely naked. This will probably make her recognize that this is a dream even more. Fuhihihi.

“It's really a dream... kihi, kihihi, I've always wanted to mess with a girl as hard as I can. It's a dream, so it's okay if I mess with you, right?”
“Go ahead.”
“Aha, ahaha! AHAHAHAHA!”
“No─! Guheh!?”

Huh? She didn't mean it in a lewd way, but in a violent way... well, it's nice to be beaten up by a cute girl, isn't it?

“ORA! ORAA! Ahahaha! It feels so good!!”
“It's okay if you go harder because it's just a dream, you know?”
“That's right! It's a dream, so it's okay no matter what I do, isn’t it! Ora! Ora!”
“Guh, guph, more! More, more!”
“Haa haa, take this! Ora! How’s that!”
“Gofh, gefuh, gyah.”

The dwarf girl who continued to punch, kick, and get so happy as she showed a crazy smile was the cutest thing ever. ...This child, can I make her mine?

"Haa haa... this is the best!”
“Fufu, that's good. Well then, it's about time you wake up from your dream.”
“Ee─h, just a little more─! Ow!?”

After I canceled the Paralysis Magic, it seems that she noticed the pain in her fist from hitting me so hard. She became teary-eyed and cute.

“Eh, huh... this is a dream, right? This is, why...?”
“Since when did you have the illusion that this was a dream?”
“Eh?”

I took out clothes from my Inventory and put them back on.
When I put them in my Inventory it was done in an instant, but when I put them on, I had to do it manually, so should I make Dressing Magic later?

“Is it from selling potions? Or from selling high potions? Or was it always reality?”
“Ah, eh, that's a lie... because that's...! It's a lie! It all happened in a dream, after all, you! You weren’t hurt even though I hit you so much!!”
“Your fists were just weaker than my body.”
“Uh, eh, no, that’s, impossible!”
“But it’s reality! Reality!”
“Ugh, reality, this is reality? It hurts, it hurts... Ahahaha, reality...”

I took out a high potion from the Storage and sprinkled it on the dwarf girl's injured fist to heal it.

“Aa...”
“We haven't introduced ourselves, haven’t we? My name is Lotorl.”
“...I'm Okuya.”
“Okuya-san. I have a bad habit of teasing cute girls when I see them. But Okuya-san also had an ugly desire to assault girls, so we're both the same, right?”
“...What’s, your point?”
“A high potion. I will sell it to you for 1 million en, so please listen to my request.”
“Hyan!?”

When I whispered erotically into Okuya-san's pointed ears, which I thought are typical of dwarves, it seemed like she felt it more than I expected. It's erotic and cute.

“Y-your request?”
“Just a little massage.”
“Massage?”
“Yes, it’s fine, right?”
“...Yes.”

Like this, Lotorl obtained 1 million en and the right to massage Okuya-san, and she enjoys it to the fullest extent of her desires.

CSA 93 - A Beautiful Girl's Vomit Was Rainbow-Colored

After that, I hugged the pink mini dragon-san until I was satisfied, sniffed her all over, and even though I didn't really lick her, I was jostling her vigorously.

“...I will be purchasing a high potion for 1.5 million el.”
“Thanks.”
“Hic...Thank you, very much...”

Lotorl-chan may have gone a little too far, Teheperorincho.

Rin-san looked at me with scornful eyes, but our friendship won't fall apart over something like this. It won't, right?

After that, I successfully obtained a permit to Ganasaki Island of Khizr Country and shook hands with Rin-san in front of the Gate.

“I think I'll be back sometime soon, so please take care of me at that time.”
“Yes, I'm looking forward to it!”
“Then, I’m off!”
“Take care!”

As I passed through the large gate, I felt a momentary sensation of floating and my eyes were spinning, and as I endured it for a while, thinking, “Huh, isn't this different from usual?” the surrounding scenery changed, and it seemed like the teleportation had been completed successfully.

“Fu... gebooooooooo!! Oeek, gebooooooooo! Cough! Cough! Oeek...”

I didn't have the slightest intention of throwing up, but I ended up throwing up...
Does this mean that Dragen Island is quite far from Ganasaki Island? Or is there a malfunction with the Gate?

“Ugh, I've had a horrible time...”

I reflexively caught the vomit with my skirt, but as expected, I wasn't excited about my own vomit. But I'll keep it in my Inventory. Just in case.
By the way, the item name was displayed as Lotorl's rainbow-colored vomit.
I’ve done a lot of doping and body modification, so it’s not strange that my vomit is rainbow-colored.

After cleaning my clothes with Cleaning Magic, I looked around and saw a bit of a hellscape of people covered in vomit, so I quickly left.

For the time being, I think I’ll go through Dragen Island when returning from Khizr Country to Mebon Country where Alrina is.

From the gate plaza to the city... or rather, this place is small...
It doesn't even take 30 minutes to go around this island...

The cityscape is... the cityscape? More like the settlement, it’s lined with buildings that look like old Japanese-style houses with thatched roofs and buildings that look like samurai residences.

“If it’s like this, I won’t be able to determine whether it is the Sengoku period or the Edo period...”

At the very least, I can feel the Japanese culture, so let’s call this a good thing.

The passersby were short bearded uncles and several young girls, all wearing bandanas, aprons, and thick gloves.

“Dwarves I see. I understand.”

I wonder if everyone is a blacksmith or something.
There's no sound of iron hitting or smoke for that, but I wonder if they're using magic to deal with it?

“Well, whatever. More importantly, is there any Japanese food or not, that’s the question.”

This is not a very big settlement, so I was able to find a restaurant quickly.

“This sweet and fragrant smell... there's no doubt about it!”

I hurriedly entered the store, sat down on an empty cushion, and looked at the menu, no, at the catalog.

“Japanese? No, Khizrese, huh?”

They’re written vertically mainly in katakana. The kanji also feels a little strange, but it's not impossible to read.

“Unaju, 2000 en... en?”

* (T/N: it’s hard to explain what an Unaju is, I googled it, but I only know that it’s an eel dish.)

I was about to order the Unaju that I was aiming for, but when I looked closely, it said en instead of el.
It was my first time experiencing different currencies, so I was a little surprised.
Let’s try asking the dwarf girl clerk-san if I can exchange money.

“Excuse me. Can I exchange my el currency for en?”
“You can, but I can't do it much, okay? Also, we don’t use foreign guild cards, so you can only pay in cash.”
“Ah, so that’s how... Excuse me, I'll go to the money exchange shop first.”
“Ahaha, come anytime!”

I wonder what's so slightly embarrassing about this, geez.

When I asked where the money exchange shop was, I was told it was in the gate plaza, which made me even more embarrassed.
I never thought I’d be treated like a country bumpkin in a countryside. Aah, how embarrassing.

I returned to the gate square and went to the money exchange shop.

“At today's rate, it’ll be 100 el for 1 en.”
“So cheap...”

As you’d expect, it was too cheap, so I canceled the money exchange and decided to sell a potion at a guild somewhere.

CSA 92 - I Obtained The Ultimate Power

“Now then, this is where we part ways, Rin-san.”

As Rin-san took the trouble to guide me to the Gate to Ganasaki Island of Khizr Country, I bid her farewell.

“We'll meet again, right?”
“Yes, next time, I plan to come with my older sister, so please take care of us then.”
“So you have a big sister.”
“She's a cute older sister, so I'm sure she'll get along well with Rin-san quickly.”
“Fufu, then I'll be looking forward to that time.”

I waved to Rin-san and went to the counter floor to buy a travel permit for Ganasaki Island of Khizr Country, where the receptionist told me that it costs 500,000 El, and I returned to Rin-san.

“What’s wrong?”
“Money, I didn't have enough...!”
“I see.”

Rin-san looks kind of happy. As for me, I feel like if there's a hole, I want to be buried there.

And so, I headed to the Adventurer's Guild with Rin-san to make some quick money.

“Requests with high rewards are always really difficult, you know?”
“I’m thinking of selling some potions.”
“I see.”

When I entered the Adventurer's Guild, there was a silver-haired receptionist with lizard-like features who was arguing with Rin-san from yesterday, so I asked her to buy some a high potion.

“I’d like to sell this.”
“Good morning. Selling a potion, is it. Please wait a moment.”

She took out a magnifying glass for appraisal and carefully appraised the high potion, but there are no strange ingredients in it, you know?
Or is it that having zero impurities is strange instead?

“...I'm sorry, but please wait a little longer. I cannot determine the purchase price, so I will call the person in charge here.”
“I understand.”

Could it be that the Appraisal Skill Level of the magnifying glass was low and they couldn’t find out their ingredients and potency?

As I waited for a while, comforting myself by massaging Rin-san's soft hands, I saw a pink mini dragon flapping their wings and coming towards us from behind the counter.

Eh, CutE...

“Sorry to have kept you waiting! You said you would like to sell a potion, but is this not a high potion?”
“That’s right, so...?”

Is there any problem with high potions?
Or rather, this mini dragon, her voice is also crazy cute though, can I take her with me?

“I see. Well, I'll buy the high potion for 2 million el!”
“So high!? Lotorl, it was 2 million el!!”

When she heard the high price of 2 million el, Rin-san grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me in excitement.

“Please calm down, Rin-san. But that's certainly a high price. It was 1 million el in Lycorus Country, is that the correct price?”
“EEH!? It’s 1 million el in Lycorus Country!? If so, I'd like to renegotiate to a lower price! How about 1.5 million El?”

She’s way too bad at negotiating prices, but she’s cute so it's OK!

“Sure.”
“You can’t! Lotorl too, don’t say unnecessary things, that’s a big loss isn’t it?!”
“Now, now, as long as I have enough money to go to Khizr country, I’m fine with that.”
“But!”
“I suppose it's true that 1.5 million el is too low! How about 1.9 million el?”
“Sure.”
“Like I said, you can’t! You said 2 million El in the beginning, so it has to be 2 million El!”
“Uuu... then we'll buy it for 2 million, el... hics."

I feel a strange sense of guilt as if I'm bullying a mascot character, or rather, why should I feel guilty when it's Rin-san who is bullying the mascot character?

“Then let's do this; in exchange for fulfilling my wish, you can buy it for 1.5 million el.”
“Really!?”
“What kind of wish is it that’s worth 500,000 el?”
“Well, um, I want to hug you, I guess... is that okay?”
“That’s a cheap price to pay!”
“EE─H! 500,000 el for a hug!?”
“That just means it's worth that much to me. Rin-san too, if you let me hug you, I'll pay you 500,000 el.”
“Uuu... we're best friends, just a hug is, I’ll give it to you for free, you know...!”
“Rin-san... gyuu─”
“Lotorl... gyuu─”
“Um, I’m...”

It seems that Rin-san has deep trust in me.
I feel like my friendship with Rin-san has deepened even more.
Hm...!?
In my head, a mysterious voice whispered.

Thou hast at last obtained the bond of truth.
Here, the power of friendship opens its innermost depths.
I grant thee the ultimate power of friendship.

Lotorl has obtained the irreplaceable power of bonds!

Friendship Bonus Skill has been added!!

“What is, this...”
“What’s wrong?”
“I feel like I received some strange radio waves... No, it's nothing.”

When I checked my Skills with Appraisal Skill, I found that a Friendship Bonus Skill had been added.
Something must have happened to the rebellious god Sananouta who became the assistant of the god in charge of Skills. How scary...

But well, I guess I could at least take a look at the explanation of the Skill she took the trouble to give me.

Friendship Bonus Skill, adds a 100% bonus experience point for every connected friendly unit within the Skill's area of effect, and also adds a 10% bonus experience point to those friendly units.

Does this feel like a game? Right? But it's an insanely useful skill, so I'll leave it as is. Thank you very much, goddess Sananouta-sama.

“Um... what about the hug...?”
“Ah, yes. Let me hug you.”

It turned into something strange, but it wasn't a bad thing, so let’s hug the pink mini dragon-san tightly now.

CSA 91 - My Whole Head Dripping with Drool Inside Gecko Onee-san's Mouth ASMR

“Nnh, Lotorl, that place is, ahn.”
“What about this place?”
“Ah, uuh, haa, that’s, auuh.”
“If it feels good, please say it feels good.”
“There! That feels too good! Ah, ah, no, no, nono, NOOOOOO!!?”
“Okay, the foot massage is finished.”
“Hafuu... Lotorl's massage is the best!”

Nn? Nn? Did you mistake the foot massage for you-know-what and imagined it? Nn─?
I'll keep it a secret, so why don't you tell Lotorl-chan? Hm? Hmm─?
Just kidding.

After I massaged her whole body, I cleaned the slimy part using Cleaning Magic, and as I was putting my hand into my inventory to put on some clothes, Rin-san said, “I've always wanted to sleep naked once, you know?” so of course I naturally said “Then, me too,” and I was able to obtain the right to sleep with her naked.

“I want to sleep while hugging Lotorl, so come here.”
“Ah, yes.”

As expected, even I was hesitant and thought about going to the edge of the bed and sleeping there, but since Rin-san said she wanted to hug me while sleeping, there was no way I could say no to her. Uhi, uhihihi.

“Gyuu─”
“Ofuu, Rin-san?”
“Ehehe, I also wanted to touch Lotorl's body. Can I?”
“You can’t♪”
“Eeh, I can’t?”
“I lied♪”
“What’s with you! Take this!”
“Ahahaha, that tickles.”

We made out while hugging each other naked, and I fell asleep that day.

The next day.

“Nn, it sti... eh...”

When I woke up, I was in Rin-san’s mouth.

“Rerorerorerorero, juru juru, juru juru.”

* (T/N: *sound of something rolling within the tongue* *drool* *drool*)

“Uhi, urp, wai, stop, Rin-san! Wapu! Rin-san, stop!”

Perhaps she’s half asleep, but Rin-san won't stop sucking my head deliciously.
This isn't the kind of ear-licking ASMR noise I was grateful for in my previous life. This is a real face shabu-shabu. It might feel a little good...

“Suck suck, suck suck.”
“Ahii, Rin-san! Wake up!”

If this goes on, I might awaken to a strange sexual fetish again. I have to do something quickly.

“Lick lick, lick lick, juu─poh, juu─poh.”
“Forgive me, Rin-san.”

Using Lightning Magic, I generated lightning on the level of static electricity to her face, and gave the inside of Rin-san's mouth the shock of silver teeth biting down on aluminum foil.
In my previous life, this shock was called a galvanic current. This is useless knowledge that I learned from the internet.

“GYAA!?”
“Uhee...”

I was able to get myself out of Rin-san's mouth safely, but I was sticky with drool.
Lick... Hmm, it's a little sour, but thinking that it's Rin-san's body fluids gets me excited. Ehe.

“It hurts! Geez, what’s with you!”
“Have you woken up?”
“Ah, did I wake you up? So, why are you sticky?”
“It's because the half asleep Rin-san was sucking my head until just a little while ago.”
“Ugh, I’m sorry...”
“Would you like my body for breakfast?”
“Aa─n! Sorry I said─!”

Joking aside, if Rin-san really wanted to eat my meat, I wouldn't mind giving her one arm or one leg.

This dangerous thinking, I don’t even need to go through a sanity check, I know I’m already one foot inside insanity. Let’s be careful.

We used Cleaning Magic to clean each other's bodies and left the love hotel.

CSA 90 -They Were Bumps, Not Breasts

Now that the back massage is over, I use Cleaning Magic to clean the slimy part and then have her lie on her back.

“Heave-ho.”
“Ooh...”

If this were an anime world, they would be hidden by a mysterious light, but in a disc media, they’d be completely visible. No, she’s a gecko, so it isn’t regulated...?
When I looked down, it was smooth. She’s a gecko, so it’s natural that it doesn't grow hair.
By the way, both were light pink in color. I won't say what they are though.

“Then, I’m applying it.”
“Go ahead─.”

First, I applied it all over to her arms, then her chest, stomach, and legs. All over.

“Nn... that place is...”
“Eh, what is it?”
“...No. It's nothing.”

Is it her belly button? Even though she’s a gecko, she had a belly button, so I was just curious and touched it.
To people who were imagining a different part, please rid yourself of your worldly desires by doing 108 squats.

Once I had applied the lotion to her entire body, I started the massage.

Let's start with her arms.

“Nn─, feels so good...”

Next is her chest.

“Nn...”

...How should I put it, these breasts, they felt like fakes that could be taken off. I touched the nipples normally, but her reaction was thin, and I don't think any milk would come out even if she got pregnant.

Were they only imitating humans? For what? To unravel the mystery of the evolution of the gecko race Lotorl will head deep into the jungle, well, I won’t but I'm still curious.

Could they be like a camel hump?

I remembered a story I saw in an animal show in my previous life about how lizards can survive for months without eating by storing nutrients in their tails.

In other words, as they became more humanoid, some individuals began to store nutrients in their chests?

I felt like I had caught a glimpse of the mystery of life.

“Lotorl, your hands’ stopped though?”
“I'm sorry. I got curious about Rin-san's breasts.”
“Breasts? Aah, these aren't breasts, they’re bumps. They’re meant to be cut off and used as emergency food or decoy in case of an emergency, like when you're lost or attacked by a monster. If you eat properly. It seems like it will grow back in about three days. I've never had those cut off before though.”
“I see...”

I might want to try eating it...

“...Hmm, well, I guess it’s fine. Here, go ahead.”
“UeEEEEE!?”

What’s this!? Rin-san, what are you doing?? Why did you take off your breasts in such a casual way, as if you were an Anpan hero sharing his own body??

“Anyway, potion!”

I took out a mega potion from Storage and quickly poured it onto both of her breasts that had been gouged out like a bowl, regenerating her breasts to be a little larger than before.

“Owa!? It's healed already!?”
“What are you doing, Rin-san?”
“You ask what, Lotorl is looking at my bump with a hungry look, so I thought it’d be nice if I could pay Lotorl back even a little, even if it doesn’t have to be for the katana... If you really don’t need it, you can just throw it away though.”
“...Munch!”
“Ah... fufu.”

I thought that if I refrained and let this opportunity pass, I would never have another chance to eat these, so I followed my primal instinct and sucked on the nipple of what had been Rin-san's breast until just now.

“Chuu─ chuu─, yummy!”

It tastes like the breast egg bomb ball ice cream I ate in my previous life! So goooood!

Once I started drinking it, I couldn't stop, and I sucked out every drop, leaving only a soft and flabby skin. I might be able to use it for something later, so let’s put it away in my Inventory.

“What did it taste like?”
“It tasted like melted ice cream. It was really delicious!”
“I see, then maybe I should try it too?”
“It's originally Rin-san's breast anyway, go ahead go ahead.”
“It's not a breast, it's a bump. Chu─ chu─, hmm? It doesn't taste good to me... Lotorl's potion is many times more delicious.”
“I see...”

Potion... boobs... drinking... I have an idea!

“Would you like to exchange a mega potion with Rin-san’s boobs?”
“Eh.”
“Ah.”

Ahhh!? Crap...! I made a terrible perverted statement in the heat of the moment...
Even though I was able to become friends with Rin-san, this will disillusion her of me...

“I’m fine with the exchange, but it depends on the taste of the mega potion. Also, they’re bumps.”
“Eh.”
“The ex potion was delicious, but that doesn't mean mega potion is also delicious, right? You can't trade something that doesn't taste good for something that does.”
“Ah, so that’s...”

That was close... I broke into a cold sweat thinking that Rin-san hated me...

“If that's the case, please try one mega potion.”

I took out a mega potion from Storage and handed it to Rin-san.

“So this is a mega potion... sniff sniff, it doesn't smell anything. Then... glug glug, puha! Delicious! One more!”

Apparently she liked it. Now I can exchange these with Rin-san's boobs without reserve.

“Unlike ex potion, its taste is more mellow and I feel like it’d be even more delicious if it was chilled!”
“Fumu fumu, then, how many bottles should I exchange?”
“With this amount, I can go for another 100 bottles! Let me drink plenty of it!”

And so, I temporarily stopped the massage and started exchanging mega potions with Rin-san's boobs.

“Here, the bumps.”
“Here is the mega potion.”
“Glug glug, puha! Delicious! Ooh, so they grow back quickly after I drink one! Here, the bumps.”

We repeated this 100 times and I stored 200 boobs from both breasts in my Inventory. Gehehehehe.

“Burp, I guess drinking 100 bottles is too much...”
“Thank you so much Rin-san!”
“Thank you to you too for letting me drink so much!”

After that, we decided to take a break until Rin-san's stomach, which had become bloated due to the mega potions, calmed down and resumed the massage after that.

CSA 89 - I Tried Giving a Full Body Massage to Gecko Onee-san

“Mufufu, I can use it as a weapon, or I can use it as armor... I might as well sell it and play around with the money. Mufu, mufufu, mufufufu.”

I’m currently sitting on the shore of a lake where a refreshing breeze blows, warmly watching over Rin-san, who is having a great time holding an orichalcum the size of a suitcase.

“I guess I could keep it as a collection... aa─hn, what should I do?”
“If you want to process it into a weapon or armor I can do it for you, you know?”
“Can you make it into a katana!?”
“I can, but Rin-san, do you know how to use a katana?”
“It's going into my collection!”
“I see, since it’s going into your collection, would you prefer a replica katana?”
“I would like it to be extremely sharp, please!”
“I understand. What about design and stuff?”
“I'll leave it to you!”
“Understood. Please wait a moment.”

While remembering the design of a replica katana that I regretted spending all my New Year's money to buy when I traveled to Kyoto in my previous life, I processed the block of orichalcum with my Alchemy Skills and completed not an all-stainless knife but an all-orichalcum katana (sheath included).

“Here you go, please pull it out and take a look.”
“Gulp... hoooooo...!”

When Rin-san received the katana and slowly pulled it out of its sheath, her eyes sparkled and she let out a strange cry, trembling with emotion as she looked at the blade as if she was devouring it.

“Just in case, I put Rin-san’s name on the blade, but if you want a different name, please let me know.”
“I'm fine as is! The feeling of it being just for me is nice!”

Will it be called Yamorin Maru, Yamorin Ichimonji, or Yamorin Katana in future generations?

Leaving that aside, if she’s this happy with it, I think it was worth the effort to make it.

“I'm glad that you seemed satisfied.”
“I'm satisfied, satisfied! I'm very satisfied! If I ordered a katana from a blacksmith, it’d cost me at least 300,000 el! That being the case, I want to do something for Lotorl too, but I can't think of anything. If there's anything you want me to do, just let me know!”
“I’m already satisfied just seeing Rin-san happy.”
“You don't have to hold back! I'll do whatever I can, okay?”
“Hmm, how about massaging Rin-san?”
“Me instead of Lotorl?”
“Yes, well, um, I was thinking that I would like to touch Rin-san's body, ehehe.”
“I totally don’t mind that, you know? But can that really work as a thank you?”
“IT CAN!!”
“Pyoi!? I-I see, then I'll accept the massage!”

Now that I have obtained Rin-san's permission, I can now touch Rin-san's smooth skin to my heart's content. Slurp.

*

Instead of just laying there and loving Rin-san, we went to an inn recommended by Rin-san for the massage, but when I saw the signboard with heart symbols dancing around, I guessed it, “Ah!”

“This is it!”
“So it’s this...”

The signboard caught my eye first, but if you look closely at the exterior, with its heart-shaped windows and doors, I can easily guess what it is.

While I was hesitating for a moment, Rin-san walked in without hesitation, so I couldn't stop her and had no choice but to follow her. I really had no choice, okay? Ehehe.

“Hohee─h”

Once inside, the spacious lobby was a complete change from the exterior, giving it the feel of a resort hotel. There were a number of soft sofas and chairs.

“I forgot to ask, but have you decided on an inn yet, Lotorl?”
“No, I'm planning to go straight to Khizr Country after I'm done sightseeing.”
“Ee─h, you should stay for at least one night. I'll pay for your lodging! That’s what I wanted to say, but I don't have much money! How about staying in a single room with me?”
“I have money, so let's get a double room.”
“I-I see? Ah, I'll pay half of it properly!”

And so, I decided to stay overnight with Rin-san. I did it!
Now I can massage her all night long, but the cat beastkin Myaa-san's disgusted face appeared in my mind for an instant, so I think I'll do it in moderation.

I chose a double room that has a double bed instead of twin beds, received the key from the receptionist, and entered the room.

“Ah.”

My second time guessing.
A pink bed with a canopy and covered with heart marks. On the bedside shelf, there was a matsutake-like something that looked like an adult’s toy, and a king trumpet mushroom-like something with a hole in its tip.

“Now then, shall we get on with the massage right away?”
“I suppose, so.”

Rin-san, are you perhaps an ignorant child?
No matter how you look at this, this is a social gathering place for adults to do that thing and you-know-what, but with how calm she is, I can only think that she’s like that.
A cute white gecko onee-san who is ignorant about sex... I can't bear it anymore!

“Then please take off all your clothes and lie on the bed.”
“Oh, so it’s authentic. This might feel better than I thought.”

While Rin-san was taking off her clothes, I took aero adamantite out of Storage and used my Alchemy Skill to create a bathtub, poured the sand I collected from the beach on Dragen Island into it, and turned it into a potion to create silicone liquid. Then, I took out two mega potions, synthesized them to make an ex potion, and synthesized them with silicone liquid to create an ex lotion.

The effect of ex lotion is the same as that of ex potion, but since it is a transdermal absorption type, it is more effective when applied than by drinking.

When I checked on Rin-san, she was lying on her stomach with her arms resting on a pillow, so it seemed like she was ready to be massaged.
Since she's face down, her breasts are naturally not visible, but her gecko tail also covers her butt. If it’s like this, they won't have to add mysterious lights when they animate this.

I got into bed carrying the bathtub filled with ex lotion, put my clothes in my Inventory, and got naked. Even if the lotion gets on my clothes, I can use Cleaning Magic to clean them, but there's no need to go out of my way to get them dirty. This isn’t just my official stance or anything. It's true.

“Then we'll start the massage, but first we'll apply a thick liquid all over your body to make it slippery. It's a bit cold, but please bear with it.”
“Yee─s.”

I just met her today and she’s already this relaxed. She really doesn't have a sense of danger, but it's convenient for me, so I want to enjoy Rin-san’s body to my heart's content!

“Ah, can I check the texture of your skin first?”
“Sure─.”
“Then, excuse me...”

When I touched Rin-san's back with the palm of my hand, it was smooth, soft, and felt like it was repelling moisture. I thought it’d be cold, but her body temperature is no different from that of humans.

“Your skin feels so good that I want to sleep on it.”
“Really? I don't really get it myself, but I'm happy that you felt good about it.”
“Then, once again, I’ll apply it.”
“Yee─s.”

I grab some ex lotion from the bathtub and apply it all over Rin-san's body.

“Hyan!”
“I'll keep on applying it.”
“O-okay.”

While I was applying ex lotion to her back, buttocks, legs, and tail, Rin-san let out lewd sounds like “Ahn” and “Nn” from time to time, so I couldn't stop grinning because of that. Rin-san is lying on her stomach, so she doesn't have to see my smile crooked by my desire, but I'm a little worried that I won't be able to suppress my grin when she's facing upwards.

“Now that I've finished applying it for the most part, I'd like to begin the massage.”
“I’m in your care...”

Let's start by massaging her shoulders.

“Nn, a bit stronger, aa─h, that’s it, that’s it, it feels good...”

Next is her back.

“Put more weight on me, aa─h, good, so good...”

And then, her buttocks and legs.

“Nnn... grind my butt more, aa─h, it feels so good...”

And her tail.

“Nn... uh... kuh... it might be a little ticklish...”

Phew, the back massage is now complete.

...What? Did you think I was going to do something lewd in the confusion?
That’s what I thought too, but once I started the massage, those evil feelings flew away somewhere.

CSA 88 - I Found a New Bug

Having escaped from the tourists, we have now arrived at a lake abundant with nature.

“It's spacious here, and there aren't many tourists, so even if we do something strange, they won't come near us that much.”
“What a beautiful lake.”

The water surface reflected the sunlight and sparkled. And I saw a fish mimicking that sparkle and swallowed a waterfowl in one gulp. I suppose it's best not to play in the water as it seems like it's crawling with terrifying creatures.

“So, when can I have the promised item?”
“Please wait a moment. I'll take it out now.”

I took out a large boulder from Storage, or rather I spat it out on the ground. As expected, I can't hold it with my slender arms.

“Not this one, the potion one!”
“Eh, is that so?”
“I’ve never tasted such a delicious potion even once in my life!”

She seems to like it quite a lot, but ex potion has the effect of raising the maximum value of one’s stats, so I don't think it's a good idea to let her drink too much, so let’s limit the amount of ex potion a person can drink in their lifetime to be 5 bottles. I'll be an exception though.

“The potion I gave Rin-san is called ex potion, and it's a very potent medicine, so a person is only allowed to drink five in their lifetime. Rin-san drank one bottle just now. So you can only drink four more.”
“Ee─h! I want to drink more! Isn’t there anything you can do!?”
“There isn’t. I'll give you four bottles for now, so please drink it when you're about to die or lose a limb or internal organ.”
“...That ex potion, seems like it’s more valuable than any valuable metal though?”
“You can't sell it, because if you do, somehow or other a lot of people will die. Please use it when you or someone you care about is about to die.”
“I-I see. I got it!”

And so, I took out 8 bottles of mega potions from Storage, synthesized them, and gave the resulting 4 bottles of ex potion to Rin-san.

“Thank you, Lotorl! I will drink it carefully!”
“Yes. Let's get started with the boulder. If there's any metal you'd like me to turn it to, please tell me now.”
“Let me think... is something like khizrkane possible?”
“Aah, I probably can’t. I can't really turn it into something that I've never seen or heard of. I think I could do it if I saw the real thing though.”

If it’s hihiirokane, I might have been able to do it in one try by using the memories of my previous life, but if it’s khizrkane, as expected I feel like it’d be impossible. There's nothing I can do since I don't have the information necessary to activate the Skill.

“A shame, I've never seen the real thing either. I'm sure you'll find it somewhere if you go to Khizr Country, but fine, how about orichalcum?”
“If it’s that, I can do it. Let's start right away.”

I put my hand on the large boulder that I spat out from Storage earlier and it transformed it into metal.

Hihiirokane, uwa, it came out!?

“Rin-san.”
“Yes?”
“How about hihiirokane?”
“Hihiirokane... what kind of metal is that?”

Is there no information out there about hihiirokane, or is it only Rin-san who doesn’t know of it, or maybe she just doesn’t realize it’s hihiirokane because she calls it khizrkane... hmm.

“Do you know the characteristics of khizrkane?”
“Umm, I think it looks bluish-white and shiny.”
“Fumu.”

This hihiirokane is shining red and golden, so it is different from khizrkane.

“I’ll try appraising just a little bit.”
“Un.”

I appraised hihiirokane using Appraisal Skill.

Hihiirokane, a metal that shines red and gold.

My Appraisal Skill Level is currently 22, so it seems that I can hardly appraise mythical-class items. I've been slacking on leveling up my Skills recently, so I need to work on them again.

I took out the appraisal ring from my Inventory and put it on my finger and appraised it again.

Hihiirokane, mainly used to strengthen mythical-class items. Also often used as a catalyst for summoning seraphs. It is recommended to alloy it because it is soft enough that even teeth can easily leave marks on it. By the way, this is something that I asked the god in charge of metals to make for you as an apology for the Storage bug. As for the god in charge of Skills, I created the god you mentioned called Sananouta and attached her to you as an assistant, so you should be able to synthesize Skills with ease from now on. Also, I accidentally broke your guitar, so it'd be helpful if you could kindly make another one and offer it to me. Well, putting that aside, I'll always be watching over you, so enjoy life to your heart's content. Well then.

“...It seems to be a soft metal, so let's change it to orichalcum.”
“Eh, okay...?”

I decided to pretend not to see the appraisal result and bury the existence of hihiirokane in the dark.

Or rather, creating a heretic god is way too dangerous. This would normally turn into the extinction of humanity. Isekai is over.
Sananouta herself is a naughty and cute-looking girl, but she loves people so much that she absorb the whole humanity and says things like, “I am all of humanity.” She's dangerous and crazy.
Her signature move is making people immortal and then increasing their sensitivity by 5,000 trillion times, and then giving them sensual massages using tentacles disguised as her own hair. She’s dangerous.
In any case, she’s dangerously dangerous!

“What's wrong with you, you’re suddenly freezing up.”
“No, I'm a little, pessimistic about the future...”
“It'll be okay! Lotorl can change it easily! You can do it! You can do it!”

Rin-san is probably talking about metal transformation, but somehow, I feel like it'll be okay.

“That's true. I think I'll try my best and not give up until the end!”
“That's the spirit!”

I was able to renew my mood with Rin-san's brightness, so let's quickly transform it into orichalcum.

Hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane...

Is this a bug?

Hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane...

“I'm not feeling well, so could we use another boulder?”
“Eh, that’s fine, but if that doesn’t work, even that hihiirokane is fine, you know?”
“That’s no good.”
“Eh, I see...?”
“It'll be okay. I'll prepare some orichalcum right away!”

I look for a suitable boulder and transform it into metal.

Iron, copper, gold, iron, mithril, silver, mithril, silver, orichalcum, silver, ah! Iron, silver, copper, copper, gold, lead, silver, nickel, hihiirokane, hihiirokane, hihiirokane...

“MANAGEMEEEEEEEEENTT!”
“Hyowa!? What’s wrong!?”
“I’m sorry, I got a little emotional.”

Isn’t a bug where if you transform something into hihiirokane you can't transform it into anything other than hihiirokane a serious problem? What’s the management doing? Do the maintenance now!

“Su─, ha─... alright, let's find the next boulder.”
“If you're not feeling well, you don't have to push yourself too hard, okay?”
“It's okay! I'll quickly transform it into orichalcum!”

After that, I was plagued by the bug where I couldn't transform hihiirokane several times, but I managed to transform it into orichalcum, so let’s call it okay.
I used Alchemy Skill to liquefy the large amount of industrial waste called hihiirokane that was left over, and thoroughly cleaned it using Cleaning Magic.

CSA 87 - She Was a Friend Who Could Lift a Rock With Her Legs While Doing a Handstand

After having a meal at the Adventurer's Guild with a humanoid gecko called Yamorin, also known as Rin-san, I am now going sightseeing on Dragen Island with Rin-san as my guide.

“There may or may not be a legend that if you throw money or something shiny into this Dragon Fountain, your wishes will come true.”
“Fumu fumu.”

I don't have any cash at the moment, so I pick up some pebbles lying around and use my Alchemy Skill to transform them into gold...

Copper, silver, iron, copper, iron, lead, silver, iron, copper, silver, lead, iron, copper, gold, copper, ah, iron, gold, iron, ah, ah, copper, iron, lead, mithril, copper, platinum, aluminum, copper, orichalcum, copper, orichalcum, iron, gold, oops, that’s it!

“All right!”
“You were picking up pebbles and making them shiny but, what were you doing?”
“I used my Alchemy Skill to turn it into gold.”
“Heeh... HE?”
“Here we go!”
“Aa─h!”

I threw the pebble that I had turned into gold into the fountain, and put my hands together and prayed that I would be able to make friends with beautiful onee-sans around the world.

“Now that’s done.”
“H-hey, Lotorl, you said you turned it into gold, but do you mean you can turn any stone into gold?”
“With any luck, yes.”
“H-hmm... Then you can do it to this stone, right?”

Rin-san picked up a stone that had fallen at her feet and blatantly appealed to me to transform it into metal. How cute.

“I can, but... if you want it, just say you want it.”
“I want it!”
“As a special gift to Rin-san for being honest, I will turn just one stone that weighs as much as Rin-san can carry into gold.”
“Really!? You’re serious, right!? If you lie, I'll cut ties with you, okay?!”

After saying that, Rin-san lifted up a boulder the size of a balance ball that had been buried on the side of the road and presented it to me. What a terrifyingly fast movement, Rin-san can’t be made light of I see..
That being said, I'm a little scared when I see how fast a gecko is when it's the size of a human.

“Can you even carry around such a big boulder?”
“Easily! If you like, I can even carry it with my legs while doing a handstand!"

This is just like in that work featuring a catgirl android that was very popular in my previous life, in the introduction of Yenekon’s story that was used in every episode, where Mijika-kun promises something without considering it because Sawagi-chan provokes him, Rin-san ended up saying something that ignited a spark of sadistic desire within me, that make me can’t help but test it, can’t I, Kuhihi

“If you really can do it, I’ll turn it into a metal that is more valuable than gold.”
“T-that’s easy! Just look!”

Blinded by greed, Rin-san placed the boulder she was holding on the ground, then stood on her head and deftly used her legs to pick up the boulder she had placed on the ground earlier.

“H-how is this! I can do it fine, right? Gugh! Can I put it down now?”

To think she can lift a boulder that probably weighs around 100 kg with her legs while doing a handstand, this super geckokin is amazing!

“Amazing! So Rin-san is a friend who can lift a boulder with her legs while doing a handstand!”
“Yeah, that's right! So! Now! I can put it down, right?”
“Uwwaa! Amazing! I can't do something that amazing!”
“Fununu! I-I can’t, go on, I’m going put it down, okay!? I'm putting it down!?”
“I want to see it a little more...”
“Kuuuh!?”

With my malicious remark, Rin-san raised back up the boulder she was about to put down, her pure white body turned red, her blood vessels bulged, and her cute face took on the appearance of a demon. I was very satisfied with Rin-san's efforts to push beyond the max limit.

“You can put it down now.”
“...Help me.”

Rin-san has already exceeded her limit, so even if she wants to put it down, it seems like she will be crushed by the boulder if she moves even slightly, so I put the boulder away into Storage.

“Kahyuu... Kahyuu...”
“You did your best, Rin-san! Admirable, admirable!”
“I can't go on, I'm going to die...”

As Rin-san was lying on the ground breathing heavily and with wounds all over her body, I took out two mega potions from Storage, synthesized them together to make an ex potion for her to drink. It would be dangerous if a blood vessel in her brain ruptured or something.

“This is a potion that can also restore your stamina, so please drink it in one gulp.”
“Haa, haa, I-I see, then, I’ll take it... glug, glug, glug, puha! What’s this, this is delicious!?”

Delicious? Well now? Ex portion is supposed to only taste like water, but does it taste delicious to the geckos’ taste buds?

“Give me more of these potions please!”
“That’s fine, but let's move somewhere else. Before we know it, we're surrounded by a crowd of people after all.”

People who heard the commotion and came called for others to come, and more and more tourists gathered here.

“Hyoeh!? Right! Let's go to a quiet place next!”

I took Rin-san's squishy gecko hand and helped her stand up, then still holding hands, we dashed away from the scene.

CSA 86 - I Found a Cute Humanoid Gecko Onee-san, so I Followed Her

Lotorl, who was enjoying sightseeing on Dragen Island, discovered a cute, humanoid-looking, all-white gecko onee-san (whether she looks cute or not is a matter of personal opinion) in the city, and was currently following her around. I’m not a stalker, you know? That’s what the stalker themself unconsciously thinks while doing their stalking, and that’s what makes them bad. I'm aware of what I'm doing, so that makes me not bad.

I followed the white gecko onee-san for a while, maintaining a reasonable distance, trying not to look suspicious, and then I saw her entering a building that I think is the Adventurer's Guild, so I went inside as well.

“Why can't this be good enough?”
“That’s why I warned you earlier, to get it with the roots, didn’t I?”
“Isn’t it fine if I missed it a bit?! Stingy, stingy, stingy!”
“...Next person please.”
“Wait!? Isn’t it terrible that you ignore me?”

A red anemone-like, wiggling plant was on the counter, and the white gecko onee-san was lashing out at a silver-haired receptionist with a lizard-like face.

“Hey, please! You can just call this request completed! Otherwise, I won't have enough money for today's lodging! Please, please, please!”
“No. You mustn't cheat. If you don't have the money, please go collect it again and complete the request.”
“Even if I go out to collect it now, won't it be midnight by the time I find it?! I don't want to go home in the morning!”
“...Next person please.”
“Aa─h! Don't ignore me!”

Apparently, the white gecko onee-san couldn’t complete her request and is having trouble with money, so I thought I would help her out and get a nice tender mufufu as a thank you later. Guhehehe.

“You seem to be in some kind of trouble, but from what I can see, it seems like the problem can be solved by just making the plant grow roots, so please excuse me for a moment.”

I took out a mega potion from Storage and sprinkled it on the red sea anemone-like plant to regenerate its roots. It's grown a little bit, but there is nothing wrong with it as long as it is big enough.

“Hoe?”
“Amazing...”

The dumbfounded white gecko-san and the wide-eyed silver-haired lizard-san. Both are so cute that I want to take them home.

“That settles it, I suppose.”
“What exactly is that potion...?”
“That's amazing! Who are you!? But you saved me! Thank you!”

As I thought, being thanked by another person is nice, isn’t it? She looks like a reptile though.

“This completes the request, right?”
“Yes, the request is completed. But next time, please don’t forget the warning, okay?”
“Ugh, I get it already!”

After successfully completing the request, White Gecko-san, “how about having dinner after this?” invited me, so I immediately replied with confirmation. Fuhihi.

We moved to the cafeteria in the Adventurer's Guild, sat down at a table facing each other, ordered food, and from this point on, I would like to gradually close the distance between us and get to know each other.

“Thank you so much for earlier, okay?”
“We're all here for each other in times of need.”
“You say some nice things! I like you! Let's be friends from today!”

Un, this white gecko-san, her sense of distance is bugged.
It's better because it's easier than poorly trying to carefully butter her up, but Lotorl is worried because she seems like she could easily fall for a scam.

“I'm happy to be your friend, but I don't even know your name yet, so let’s start by introducing ourselves. I’m called Lotorl. What I like is girls... ‘s smiles, and I'm currently sightseeing Dragen Island.”
“I'm Yamorin. What I like is morikani, and I'm a migrant worker right now. My hometown is on a different island, but if it’s just tourist information, I can give it to you, so why don't we go after we finish eating?”
“That's nice. Please take care of me.”
“It’s decided!”

Yamorin-san, huh. I don't know if her parents' naming sense is like that, or if the geckos' naming culture is like that, but I think it’s cute. That naming sense feels like it would probably be in the top three names people would give to a gecko as a pet in my previous life.

* (T/N: gecko = yamori.)

“Hey, is it okay if I call you Lotorl?”
“It’s fine. I'll call you Rin-san too.”
“Fufu, then, nice to meet you, Lotorl!”
“Nice to meet you too, Rin-san.”

Thanks to Rin-san's bugged sense of distance, we were able to deepen our relationship in one go, but on the other hand, I have a tendency to be taken advantage of, so I have to be careful.

“This is delicious, try some too Lotorl, here, aa─n.”
“A─n, monyu monyu, this is delicious!”

If I was going to be taken advantage of by Rin-san, that’d be my long-cherished ambition.

CSA 85 - It Was a Tropical Resort

Having narrowly escaped from the clutches of Nrva and Stia, Lotorl teleported and was now in a private beach she had created on the coast of Lycorus Country.
It's not like dealing with those two has suddenly become troublesome or anything like that, you know? It's true, you know?
So I'm the type of person who would rather pamper than be pampered, and be restrained than restraint.

Now, to briefly describe our upcoming journey, we are planning to cross the sea from Lycorus Country and go through the Gate on Dragen Island to reach Ganasaki Island of Khizr Country.

We lost our ship on our last voyage, so this time I would like to use my Flight Skill and visual teleportation to move safely.

“Here I go.”

I used Flight Skill to float up and then teleport to the visible horizon, I repeat the process until I can see Dragen Island.

“The─sea─is─so─wide─too─wide.”

I've teleported several times, but I haven’t seen anything.
Occasionally I’d see schools of fish or something that looks like a whale, but that's about it.

“Hmm, should I try going up to the stratosphere once?”

I teleported to a small cloud drifting in the sky, and used my Flight Skill to rise even higher and search for Dragen Island.

※ If you do the same thing with a flesh and blood body that has not been modified in any way, it will be very dangerous, so please do not imitate it.

“Oh, is it that one?”

I discovered an island as small as a grain of rice.
In other words, it was so far away that it looked like a grain of rice.

“No wonder everyone hates it.”

Traveling this distance would be hell unless I was on a modernized luxury cruise ship from my previous life, I thought.

The ship I built was the best ship that would never break and could fly in the sky, so if there were no isekai abnormal weather, I could have sailed through the whole thing easily and comfortably, couldn’t I?

Leaving that aside, I used teleportation to get close to the island, and then used Flight Skill to land at the island's port.

“So this is Dragen Island.”

There are many huge ships moored here, and it feels like a flourishing tropical resort for the rich.
It would be a waste to just pass through without stopping by, and for Alrina's sake, should I build a teleportation base in a deserted place for the next time we come here?

I moved from the port to the beach, and moved to a cliff while collecting sand into Storage. Once I was there, I dug a hole and created a cave on the cliff by using Alchemy Skill to liquify it, and built a cave hut inside it using aero adamantite.

“Alright, done.”

Now then, I would like to go sightseeing on Dragen Island.

*

“What do you think, ma'am? It's a pearl necklace made of pearls from pearl shrimps that can only be found on this island.”

“This is a hair ornament made from extremely valuable dragen ore that can only be found on this island. Would you like one?”

“How about a bite? This is a dragen banana that can only be grown on this island. It's sweet, delicious, and has a reputation for being good for your health.”

When I went to a market near the port, what I always heard is the catchphrase; “can only be found on this island.”
The clerks at every store always use those same words to advertise their products without fail, so most likely, this island has its own advertising manual.

“But first, bananas are a must, right?”

So I headed to the banana store.

“Welcome, Ojou-chan. Would you like to try a bite?”
“Then, I won’t hold back.”

When I picked up a sliced banana full of black seeds and ate it, it had a sweeter and more fragrant flavor than the banana I had eaten in my previous life, and I could eat the large seeds as they are as well. It’s yummy.

“You can spit the seeds into the bucket over there.”
“Eh, was it bad that I ate it?”
“It's fine if you eat it, but it's dangerous if you choke on it.”

In other words, you can swallow it but not chew it.

My jaws and teeth made of aero adamantite will crunch everything! 1000 points of damage to Lotorl's mind!

I decided that I would not let such a tragedy happen again by purchasing a single banana for 1000 el and making seedless banana, no, banana that could be eaten along with the seeds, just like in my previous life.

CSA 84 - Two Adult Women Fought Over One Girl

“Mama, this is so delicious!”
“We have seconds, so make sure you eat plenty.”
“Un!”

After that, I cook dinner for Nrva-chan, who has regressed into a baby, and we eat together. By the way, at Nrva-chan's request, I cook a lot of vegetable dishes.

“We’ll stay together forever, Mama.”
“You’re such a pampered child, Nrva-chan.”
“Ehehe.”

I also seem to have awakened my maternal instincts, so I’m firmly acting as Nrva-chan’s mama, but how long should I continue this?

“Kefu, I’m full!”
“You ate well. Admirable, admirable.”
“Fufun. Nrva's stomach is a great forest after all.”
“That’s amazing.”
“Ehehe!”

Don't calm down and think about it, Lotorl. There was no need for a sanity check, you are already in the embrace of insanity.

After finishing the meal, I listened to Nrva-chan's recent stories, the kind a child would tell, such as how she found a beautiful flower and saw strange butterflies flying around. When she got tired of talking, we went into bed and I sang her a lullaby and put her to sleep.

The next day.

“Please forget everything.”
“Nrva-chan is cute. Good girl, good girl.”
“Please, stop it... I'm so embarrassed, I’ll die...”

Nrva, who had regained her senses after a good night's sleep, remembered yesterday's silliness and her face turned so red that smoke rose from her head.
She’ll be too pitiful if I tease her too much, so let's stop treating her like a baby.

Now then, the bathtub I made yesterday was rather in the way, so I used Cleaning Magic to clean it and put it away in my Inventory.

“Ah, I guess you’re taking it with you...”
“Shall I sell it to you at my asking price?”
“How much would you say the market price is?”

I don't know the market price of a bathtub, but I think it was around 50,000 to 500,000 yen in my previous life. Huh? Was that the price for the entire bathroom? How much is the price of just the bathtub?
I suppose there’s no point in thinking about it based on the market price in my previous life.
It’s not widespread at all in ordinary households in this world, so it probably costs around 300,000 El.

“It’s 10 million El.”
“That’s too expensive.”
“I'm just kidding. I don't know the market price, but I think it's probably around 300,000 El.”
“I'll buy it!”

She is a ponkotsu elf who fell for the fraudulent trick of first saying an exorbitant price and then offering a fair price, which makes it seem like the price has gone down.

Nrva transferred 300,000 El from her card to my card, and I took out the bathtub from my Inventory and put it back in the same place. Kekeke, what a profitable business.

“If you don't have Skills or magic to replace the water, preparing a bath can be quite a hassle. Is that okay?”
“Yes, it'll be okay as long as Mama is here, right?”
“Mama?”
“Ah, no, that’s not it... Totorl-chan, right?”
“It's Lotorl. To think you got my name wrong, Mama is so sad...”
“I-I'm sorry, Mama! I mean! Lotorl-chan!”
“Better yet, it’s fine if I officially become your mama, you know?”
“It’s fine!? I mean! I'll refrain!”
“Nrva-chan is a good girl. Come to Mama.”
“Mama─!”
“There, there, good girl, good girl, Nrva-chan is so cute.”
“Ehehe.”
“What, are you guys doing...?”
“Ah.”

As I did mama play with Nrva-chan and was teasing and cuddling Nrva-chan who couldn't resist regressing into a baby and hugged me, Stia came before we knew it, and Nrva-chan's face turned bright red as she was showing an unthinkable disgraceful behavior.

“This is, different, okay?”
“Your friend is here, so let's continue later, okay? Nrva-chan.”
“Un!! ...Wait, that's not it, this isn't what it looks like, Stia will understand, right?”
“Yes, I understand very well. Lotorl-chan, would you please come to me? If you are near that deviant, your head will turn weird too.”
“You don’t understand at all!?”

After that, misunderstandings continued to lead to misunderstandings, and in the end, they pulled my left and right arms toward them, each saying, “Mama is mine!” and “I'll raise this child!” They fought over me, just like in the story I saw in my previous life, about people fighting over a child.

My body is made of aero adamantite, so no matter how much they pull me, there will be no problem, but unless I get hurt, it seems like they'll keep pulling me forever, so I wanted to see how long the two of them could hold out with their stamina, so should I wait for a while and see how it goes?

“Let go!”
“You too!”

10 minutes have passed.

“Enough already!”
“You first!”

20 minutes have passed.

“Fununu...!”
“Gununu...!”

30 minutes have passed.

“Haa haa...”
“Fuu fuu...”

1 hour has passed.

“I can't do it anymore...”
“I can't do it anymore...”

Lotorl WIN!

Geez, that was a long battle, wasn’t it.
In the end, they both let go of my arm at the same time and collapsed to the floor.
It was so much fun watching these two beauties fighting and abusing each other over me.

“I'll be going now, so both of you please be moderate in your fighting and live in harmony from now on.”
“D-don’t leave me behind...”
“Let's, live together...”
“Well then, Arrivederci!”

Lotorl coolly left the scene.

────

(T/N: that Arrivederci, apparently, it’s a JoJo reference. I don’t watch anime much, so I didn't know about this until I googled it.)

CSA 83 - Elf Regressed Into a Baby

“Chicken, pork, beef, mutton, horse meat, venison... let's buy them all.”
“Can you buy that many and eat them all?”

First, I went to a butcher shop to buy all sorts of meat. Meat is delicious no matter what world you are in. If I had been reincarnated in a different world where there is no meat-based food culture, I think I would have shaved off my own meat and eaten it. Well, that’s assuming there is a way to recover though.

“I have Item Box, so I can store it for a long time.”
“I see...”

I don't know about other people, but the item box-type Skill I use stores items in a literally empty subspace, so they don't deteriorate due to temperature or humidity, nor weather due to air, so food can be stored there for a long time. I think fermented foods lose their flavor because the bacteria die though. If I made lactic acid bacteria or other bacteria that are effective even if they die, maybe it'll be okay?

When I paid with my card and tossed the purchased meat into my Inventory, the clerk's eyes widened in surprise, so I smiled. Nrva is staring at me with scornful eyes, but I don't mind her.

Next is the greengrocer. The name of the store is Vegetable and Fruit Store, though.
There may be one in Khizr Country, but in this region there is no concept of Yaoyorozu no Kami, so the name ‘greengrocer (yaoya)’ was never created. In the first place, the concept of having 800 of something is a unique Japan-specific way of thinking, so if we were to say it here, it would probably be ‘bountiful harvest store (hojoya)’ or ‘bumper crop store (hoyosakuya)’.

(T/N: 八百万の神 - Yaoyorozu no Kami - all the gods and goddesses; all the deities. 八百屋 - yaoya - greengrocer; fruit and vegetable shop, literally: 800 store, or maybe a store containing the blessing of all the gods and goddesses.)

“Oranges, apples, strawberries, lemons, kiwis, melons, and watermelons, that’s about it for the fruits, the vegetables would be potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, cucumbers, lettuce, eggplants, bell peppers, corn, basil, garlic, ginger, and...”
“Hey hey, aren’t you going to buy things like fennel, puntarella, or caldo?”

She pointed to vegetables that I have never seen or heard of in my previous life as she recommended them to me, but are they isekai vegetables?
By the way, the only vegetables served at the orphanage were potatoes, carrots, onions, and cabbage. If there had been bean sprouts, they probably would have been used at every meal without fail.
Also, watermelon is a fruit in both my previous life and this life.

* (T/N: apparently, fennel and puntarella actually exist here, I’ve never heard of them until I translated it here though. And caldo vegetables don't exist here.)

“Vegetables that I don't know how to cook are a little... they’re shaggy too anyway.”
“Then how about I make it for you?”
“I've heard rumors that elf cooking is damned shit.”

I heard it in my previous life though.

“They’re lies spread by people who don't like vegetables! Besides, I can add meat as an accent to my cooking!”

Meat as an accent... No matter how you look at it, it's a predictable case...

“Is it okay for elves to eat meat?”
“A lot of us just like vegetables, but when it’s time to eat meat, we eat it.”
“I see.”

I don't hate vegetables either, but if I had to choose between meat and vegetables, I’d choose meat, so it seems like my taste buds don't match the elf food culture.

I wasn't interested in elf cooking, so I shrugged off the topic of Nrva making a home-cooked meal and bought the rest of things I needed for cooking such as seasonings, eggs, dairy products, flour, potato starch, and with these, I could make delicious meals anytime, anywhere.
By the way, potato starch is called imoko here.

“Then, shall we go home?”
“Nn? Home?”
“Eh? To my house?”
“Um, after this, I'm planning on collecting funds and going on a journey though?”
“...That's no good.”

Isn’t her Menhera aura on full blast all of a sudden? It's just scary.

“What's no good about this...?”
“You have to stay by my side forever. You don't have to go anywhere. I'll protect you from now on.”

Her eyes are completely gone. This is, if I say anything unnecessary, I’ll be stalked for the rest of my life.
But that awakened my mischievous spirit, so shall I try teasing her?

“Protect me, you said, but wasn't it because you attacked me that I had no choice but to disappear? What do you think I was feeling when I kept running away from you? Even if you pretend to be nice now, there’s no way I can trust you. How can I trust you after you ruined my peaceful life? Besides, I haven't forgiven you yet.”
“...U-UEEEEEEEEENNNN!! I’M SOOOORRRYYYYY!”
“Ueh!? H-hey! Please don't cry so loudly!”

Arueh? Did I say too much? I said too much, didn’t I? It's obvious that I've said too much because a grown adult is crying loudly like a small child.

I was just trying to tease her a little bit, but why do I have to feel so guilty?

“UEEEEEEEEEEENN!! FORGIVE MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”

The people of the city who heard the commotion gathered around and saw her slumped on the spot, her face covered in tears and snot, clinging to me and begging for forgiveness.

It's good that the elf's embarrassing rumors increased, but I don't like it when it comes as a set with my bad rumors instead.

“Or rather, please stop crying! Won’t this make it look like it's my fault?!”
“I’M SOORRRYYYYY!!”
“I understand! I forgive you! I forgive you, so please stop crying!”
“UEEEEEEEEEEEEEENN!! ZHANK HOU OR WORGIBING MEEEEEE!!”

Even after I forgave her, Nrva was still crying loudly, so I cast Levitation Magic on her and hurried back to Nrva's house while holding her in a koala hug.

This will definitely make a strange rumor about me spread throughout the city...

Even when we got back to Nrva's house, Nrva was still crying loudly, so I wondered what to do with her, so I thought I'd give her a bath, so in a super-express rush, I filled the bathtub with hot water, took off Nrva’s clothes that were stained with tears and snot, strip her completely naked, and plunged her into the bathtub.
I'm also getting in while I’m at it.

“Uuu, hics, so warm...”
“We’ll go in together until you calm down.”
“Un!”

Nrva had completely regressed into a baby, so I patted her head, hugged her tightly, did a ‘good girl good girl’ ASMR to her ear, and cuddled her until she stopped crying completely.

In exchange, it seems like she couldn't come back after regressing into a baby, but she's cute, so I guess it’s okay.

CSA 82 - Embarrassing Rumors About Elf Were Spreading Throughout the City

Now that I have obtained the right to make Nrva and Stia do whatever I told them to, I am currently at the Adventurer's Guild to have my cards reissued.

“This time, we will specially waive the reissue fee.”
“Thanks.”

I checked the cards that Stia had reissued, and in order to avoid any trouble, I left out only the Compounding, Synthesis, and Alchemy Skills from the densely packed Skill section and modified the rest with Disguise Magic.

“It should be good now.”

My remaining balance was clearly displayed on the reissued card, so I have nothing but respect for the person who created this card system. Benissimo, wonderful.

“Hey, Lotorl-chan, can you tell me the secret behind your Skills after all?”
“Sure.”
“I guess it’s no good after all... wait, it’s okay!?”
“Keep it a secret to everyone, okay?”
“O-of course!!”
“Then about why my Skills have increased so much, it’s because I synthesized items with Skills into my body.”
“...That’s all?”
“That’s all, you know?”
“...Are there no negative effects on your body?”
“If there are, I’d remove them with my Compounding Skill.”
“I see... Thank you for telling me, Lotorl-chan.”
“No no.”

It would be troublesome if I hide it poorly and get into unnecessary trouble, and I don't think that the current Stia would do anything that would actually harm me even if I told her to.

I glanced at Nrva and noticed that her long ears were twitching, she seemed to be listening perfectly.

“Nrva, please imitate a cat in heat.”
“Eh, Nyaa─go! Nyaa─go!”
“Next, please imitate a dog in heat.”
“Heh heh heh heh! Aoo─hn! Aoo─hn!”
“Hand!”
“Woof!”
“Another one!”
“Woof!”
“Begging!”
“Woof woof!”

She bent her hands like a dog's hands and shook her hips. She's cute, but since the ‘hand’, I didn't ask her to do it, Nrva just vigorously did it on the spot and has nothing to do with her Contract Magic. I'm sure she'd be really embarrassed if I pointed this out to her, but I'm not that mean, so I won't say anything.

“Nrva too, please keep what you just heard a secret, okay?”
“...Yes.”
“Lotorl-chan...”

Stia looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but if Nrva really didn't want to do it, she should have been able to refuse, so I guess she listened to my request out of guilt for her eavesdropping on us.

“Now then, I'm going to go shopping at the market, but what are you two going to do?”
“...I'll go with you.”
“Me too, is what I’d like to say, but I forcefully sneaked out earlier, so I'll keep working here.”

And so, Nrva and I went on a shopping date at the market.

When Nrva and I arrived at the market, and as we headed toward our destination, passersby looked at us strangely and whispered things like, “That's the rumored...” and “That’s the girl cradled like a baby isn’t she?”

There weren't many people passing by when we went to the Adventurer's Guild, so I didn't really notice it, but as expected, there were a lot of people at the market, so there were people here and there who spotted us and were enjoying themself gossiping

“Ah! That’s the cradled elf! Mama! There's the cradled elf!”
“Hey! You can't say it so loudly! Come here!”

When an innocent girl pointed at Nrva and shouted the embarrassing title of cradled elf, everyone present simultaneously burst into laughter, as expected, Nrva thought something was wrong, so she turned to me for help.

“Yesterday, I held a drunken Nrva in my arms like I was cradling a baby and paraded around the city, trying to spread embarrassing rumors.”

When Nrva heard this, her body trembled and her face turned bright red like a boiled octopus.

“I want to die...!”
“Please live with all your might”
“Kuh....! Kill me...!”
“You’re using ‘kuh kill me’ wrong, you know?”
“I don't get what you're talking about, but I don't want to stay here for long! Let's go to the store quickly!”
“It can't be helped, nyaa.”

Once I entered a general store with Nrva pulling me by the arm, she suddenly grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me.

“Why did you do such an embarrassing thing!?”
“So it’s a payback, so what?”
“Kuh...! Even so, isn’t it too underhanded?!”
“Is that so? Isn't a rumor about a drunk elf who was cradled home by a child 100 times better than a rumor about an elf who made a child go missing?”
“That’s... true, but…wasn’t there something a bit more, you know?”
“I did it on the spur of the moment. I don't regret it.”
“KuUUuuh!”

The force of her shaking is stronger than before, but my neck is made of aero adamantite, so no matter how much you shake it, it won't break, so I let her do as she likes.

Besides...

“Ou, that cradled elf is shaking a kid, you know?”
“It’s true. Is that girl okay?”

A new rumor will spread anyway.

“That’s not it, this is, jeez!”

As Nrva took my arm and tried leaving the store, I stopped her.

“I'm still in the middle of shopping, you know!”
“Uuuu, kill me quickly...!”
“Live, you are beautiful”
“W-what are you saying all of a sudden!? It's embarrassing!”

It's a famous line in my previous life, but of course it's not popular here, so they'll just take it literally. It's true that her outward appearance is beautiful, so it’s fine though. Man, I want a tsukkomi.

* (T/N: it’s a reference to princess mononoke. Probably. And the ‘beautiful’ in that work’s line refers to her inside, probably. I don’t watch many anime, so I can’t be sure.)

After looking around the store, I realized that if I needed something, I could make it myself, so I decided to just look around without buying here, and head to the grocery store next.

“Weren't you going to shop here?”
“If it’s general goods, I could make my own, so it was fine.”
“...Patience, patience, me!”
“So elves also want to go to the bathroom.”
“That’s not it!”

The cradled elf’s fists were trembling and it seemed like she's about to punch me, but she tried to maintain her rationality and took deep breaths repeatedly to distract herself.

As expected, getting her the title “violent elf” would make her pitiful, so let's stop the unnecessary nonsense here.

Even on the way to the grocery store, whenever people caught sight of us, the people of the city would secretly gossip about her and Nrva would look fed up, but I say to her, “Sin deserves punishment,” and she made a subtle face that looks kinda sad, kinda painful and kinda angry, so I’m very satisfied.

CSA 81 - I Wasn't Wearing Panties

“Come... please... hurry... just come.”
“Nn...?”
“That’s... right... yeah... true...”

I can hear someone talking, but I can't hear the other person's voice. Is she speaking to herself?
Or rather, I still want to sleep, so let's go to sleep. Let's do that. zzZ.

“Suu... suu...”
“...Fufu, cute sleeping face.”
“Supii... supii...”
“Don't go anywhere and stay with me forever, okay?”

My ears perked up and my brain cleared up at what she just said.

It's been a few weeks since I disappeared. She had been wandering around in the forest all this time looking for me, so if the child she had been looking for suddenly appeared in front of her when she woke up in the morning, she would not want me to leave her side even for a moment, lest she lose me again, she might as well tie me up physically. She’d provide me with food, clothing, and shelter, and answer to my every whim no matter how selfish, all so that she will never be separated from me for the rest of her life.
Even more so if it is out of a sense of guilt for having caused the disappearance through her own misguided actions.

“So soft...”

She poked me on the cheek with her finger, so I completely lost the timing to wake up. She then played with my thighs, butt, stomach, and the like as much as she wanted, and as I continued to pretend to sleep for a while while enduring the ticklish sensation, I heard the sound of the door being knocked, and I felt Nrva’s presence coming to the entrance to greet them, so I opened my eyes a little and saw her, the other guilty offender, the receptionist from the Adventurer's Guild. If I remember correctly, her name was Stea or Spia. I saw that person coming here.

“Is she properly alive?”
“Calm down Stia, she's fast asleep right now, but other than her swelling butt, there’s not a single injury on her, and in fact, she's much healthier than when we last met her.”
“I see... haa... thank goodness...”

So it was Stia. I won’t apologize even if you corrected me.
Also, I remembered that I wasn't wearing any panties.
I won’t be embarrassed even if you see my raw butt! ...I won’t.

“Nnn... fuaaaah...”

Thinking that this would be a good timing to wake up, I pretended to be woken up by the noise.

“Ah.”

The moment I opened my eyes, I met Stia's eyes, and after she stopped thinking for a moment, she hugged me so quickly that I thought she teleported, and I was pushed into the bed with vigor.

“Gueeh!?”
“You’re really alive! You’re alive, you’re alive! Yatta─! Yatta─! Thank you for being alive and well!”

I suppose this is what they mean when they say they are overcome with emotion.
She hugged me, she ‘high, high’ed me, she kissed me all over my face, just like a dog welcoming his beloved master home after a long absence.
I've had her imitate a cat before, but I think she's 10 times better at imitating dogs.

“Calm down Stia, if you rough her up so much when she just wakes up, her head will turn weird.”
“Ah, sorry! But I'm really glad you’re alive!”

The women in this world are all beauties even from Lotorl's point of view, and Stia is no exception, so being hugged and kissed by her is very gratifying, but in any case, she’s another offender, guilty of making a horde of monster attack me, and in my case, I was more like, filled with the desire to get revenge, so even when she told me she was glad I was safe, I can only think, “That's just stirring up trouble in order to get credit for resolving it, isn’t it?”

* (T/N: any name for that? I’ve heard it being called ‘batman gambit’ but that’s probably wrong. The Japanese word for that is マッチポンプ - match pump, as in, lighting a match and then putting it out with a water pump.)

“Nrva, cast a Contract Magic on Stia as well, that she will do whatever I tell her to do.”
“Yes, You Are, My Master.”
“Eh? Eh?”

Perhaps because the contract was not based on mutual consent, the contract will be enforced for 50 years until the contract owner canceled it, but I still thought that was a long time. I wonder if the elves’ magic are all like this?

Just like last time, a red ring-shaped mark appeared on the pinky finger of my right hand, and together with the last one, it formed a double line. This might be a little lame.

“Then Stia, get naked, spin around three times on the spot, and say nyan.”
“Ha? Yes!!”

For a moment, her expression is like “What’s this girl saying?”' but then, perhaps due to some magical compulsion, she hurriedly began to take off her clothes.

“Nyan!...Ha? Eh?”

After Stia had spun around naked three times and said nyan, she was stunned by the perverted act she had just performed, her face gradually turning red, and she crouched down on the spot looking extremely embarrassed. So cute, nya!

“Wha-what am I doing!?”
“Fumu fumu, it seems like you can do any perverted act if I ask.”
“Yes, I don't mind even death if that's what Master wishes."
“Ah, both of you, please definitely don't die even if I ask you. This is my highest request, so even if I accidentally ask you to die, you must never die, okay?”
“Yes, You Are, My, Master.”
“Yes Ma’am!”

It reminded me of a story I saw in my previous life about a genius tactician who made a deal with a witch and obtained the power of enforced command, and I was very satisfied to be able to experience the same feeling as the main character who had just acquired that power. Well, as the story progresses, his power goes out of control and he reaches a tragic end, so I will take strict precautions to make sure that doesn't happen to me.

“Also, you don't have to do the requests that you don't like or don't want to do. Please only listen to the requests that you don't mind doing. This is my next highest request.”
“Yes, You Are, My, Master.”
“Yes Ma’am!”

Well, I guess I'll forgive them with this. My conscience will just hurt if I go too far.

CSA 80 - I Did an ‘I Pampered a Baby’ ASMR to Elf

The next day.

Yeah. I didn’t get a wink of sleep.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.

I wanted to see Erofu’s surprised look the instant she woke up and saw my face, so I think I'll stay in this position for a while longer.

Funyu funyu.

Haa, the best. This might be my home base.

“Nn... Hmm?”

It seems like Erofu woke up while I was enjoying her breasts with my whole face. I'm looking forward to it.

“...Nroy, you're still, a child, I see... suu... suu...”

It seems I was mistaken for someone else and she ended up going back to sleep... Nroy-san, are you her younger brother or sister?

“Onee-chan, it's morning. Wake up.”
“...Nn, let me sleep a bit more...”
“Onee-chan, if you don’t wake up, I’m going to play a prank on you, okay?”
“...Nna? A prank...? Nroy... somehow, your voice is strange...?”
“Onee-chan?”
“Nn? Are you really Nroy...?”

It seemed that Erofu finally realized that something was wrong, so she slowly opened her heavy eyelids and looked directly at my face.

“Good morning, Onee-chan.”
“A-aah...! No, this, no, no, it's a dream, a dream, a dream...! There's no way that girl is sleeping with me! This can't happen! If it's a dream, hurry up and wake up!”
“Strange Onee-chan. If you don't wake up, I can sleep with you a bit more, right?”
“Stop... stop it... you're not, my little sister...”
“Onee-chan?”
"Aah... but... even if this is just a dream... let me, hug you...”

I was hugged in a way that made me feel her desire for my forgiveness for her own mistake, so I thought it was time to stop playing around, and I decided to play one last prank on her.

“Hey, Onee-chan. If you want me to forgive you that much, would you do anything for me?”
“...Yes, if it’s your wish I'll do anything.”
“Yatta! It's a promise, Nrva-sa...n?”

For just a moment, the words ‘Contract Magic’ appeared in my mind, but I’m sure it’s just my imagination.
The little finger on my right hand feeling strangely hot is also just my imagination.
When I took a quick look, I noticed a red ring-shaped mark there, but that is also just my imagination.
If I say it’s just my imagination, it's just my imagination!
I didn’t activate Contract Magic!

“I’ve bound us with Contract Magic. With this, I will do whatever you say. Will you forgive me now?”
“You’re the one that activated the contract?!”
“Eh? Contract Magic isn't enough? Then, I’ll cast a more powerful Forced Contract Magic...”
“No need to cast it! Or rather, just cancel the Contract Magic... wait, it can’t be canceled?”

The outline of Contract Magic flowed to my mind, it said that if the contract is signed by both parties, it will continue to be enforced for 100 years, and after that, they will decide again whether to renew the contract or not.

Or rather, 100 years!? Because of the elves' longevity, their loose magic is just too crazy!

I was only planning to ask for the right to do whatever I wanted to Nrva while she was half asleep, thinking I wanted a massage later, so I don't remember agreeing to anything, and I won’t either, but to think she would try to atone by casting Contract Magic, this erofu, her mental is seriously beaten down, huh.

“...By the way, this is a dream, right?”
“Shall I pinch your cheek? You didn’t answer, so.”

I grabbed both of Nrva's cheeks with both hands and pinched. This also serves as a payback for everything she did until now.

“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!? This isn’t a dream!? S-stop it! I get it already! If you pull it that hard, my cheek will be torn off!!”

Her skin was so much more squishy than I expected that I ended up using too much strength. Those are cheeks that I want to keep pinching.

“Are you awake now?”
“It's really you, isn't it? Hey, where have you been all this time? Why did you suddenly disappear? I've been looking for you in the forest the whole time, you know? Are you injured or sick? You won't suddenly disappear again, right? How have you been all this time? Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Have you informed the Adventurer's Guild of your return? Do you have a place to live? Are you okay with money? Have you told your acquaintances that you are safe? By the way, why are you here? How did you get into my house? Why are you sleeping in my bed with me? Why are you so-ufp!?”

She barraged me with all her questions and concerns all at once, but I closed Nrva’s mouth by sandwiching her cheeks with both of my hands. Her mouth is open vertically, while she's in the ‘it’s decided’ pose of the esper little girl from the work I saw in my previous life called ‘The Black Quack Doctor’.

* (T/N: I don’t know the reference or parody.)

“If you ask me that many questions, I can't answer them, you know. I don't even feel like answering them though.”

I removed my hand from Nrva’s cheek and patted her head with a smile.
I recommend this because most onee-sans will open their mouths and stop thinking when you do a mysterious beautiful girl move.

“Umm...?”
“Good girl, good girl.”
“You see...?”
“There, there.”
“Uhh...”
“Aadmirable, admirable.”
“Uuu...”

I won.
I don't know what battle I won though.

After I was doing face-to-face motherhood ASMR to Nrva for a while, she started to doze off, so I put her to bed and let her go back to sleep. I hadn't gotten a wink of sleep either, so I went to sleep while patting Nrva on the head.

CSA 79 - I Tried Investigating the Sensitive Elves

I carried the slutty erofu in a koala hug and enjoyed her bon-kyu-bon! body while parading her around the city and purposely asking people on the street, “Where is this person's home?” to leave an impression on them so that embarrassing rumors would spread, until I arrived at Nrva’s home.

“Chimney overgrown with greenery... I thought it was a custom of the elves, but it seems like she just hasn't taken care of it...”

It’s not a chimney, it’s a large brick kiln, thought to be used for pottery, that was built beside the house. Judging by its condition, I think it hasn't been used for several decades. Were they used to bake plates and pots in the past?

More importantly, about Erofu’s house, of course the front door was locked, so I thought of opening it quickly with magic, but I didn't want to set off some kind of trap magic, so I rummaged through Erofu’s erotic clothes, took out the key, and entered with that key.

I realized this after entering the house but, isn’t there a possibility that her clothes were also enchanted with traps...?

While I was rummaging through her clothes, all I thought about was things like “Where's the key?” and “Should I sleep at Erofu's house tonight?'' so it might be a good thing that I didn’t have any hostility at all. In the first place, there's a possibility that they weren't enchanted with traps, and I tried to examine Erofu’s clothes with Appraisal Skill even though it was too late, but they weren't enchanted and were just normal skimpy clothes.

“It wouldn’t be surprising even if they have something like an ancient elf magic that I couldn’t figure out even with Appraisal Skill though...”

They do look like a native dress, so there must be something about them. Otherwise, there's no way she'd walk around outside dressed in such a slutty outfit.

It's possible that this erofu is a slut, but she's supposed to be a government official, I don't think a slut can become one, so the possibility of her being a slut is infinitesimally small, so I think they must have some kind of special power after all, but if the elves' fashion sense is close to that of a slut, I can't say anything anymore.

If male elves were also like that... no, let’s not imagine it.

Setting aside the issue of the elves' skimpy erotic clothes, when I entered the room, there was a type of illumination that turned on when magic power was poured into it, so when I poured magic power into it, the room suddenly became brighter.
I examined its structure using Appraisal Skill and memorized it perfectly, so I would like to copy it someday.

As Erofu transitioned from passing out to sleeping, I laid her down on the uselessly extravagant canopy bed in the room, brushed her beautiful blonde hair away from her face, buried my face in her big breasts and enjoyed their softness, then covered her with a blanket and let her sleep.

“Phew... those were wonderful breasts. I think I'll make her my wife.”

Lotorl fell head over heels with slutty Erofu!
I'm seriously thinking about how to make her fall!
I decided to at least make her pay for her sins regarding me!

“Let’s leave my stupid thoughts behind and think about where I'm going to sleep...  But before that, I'm hungry... I wonder if there's anything to eat here?”

I searched around the kitchen and found a wooden box containing a large amount of vegetables.

“I guess elves only eat vegetables after all?”

I feel like eating meat, so I’ll take some from my Storage, wait I don’t have any! Enough already, me!

The only food I have now is grapes, so I decide to fill my stomach with them, while reminiscing about the meat that disappeared into the void.

As expected, I wouldn’t do such a shameful thing as stealing food from someone else's house, you know?

While eating grapes, I took a look around Erofu’s house, and appraised rare equipment such as bows and daggers that are not available on the market and are unique to the elves, and furniture with a good design sense, and added them to the rip-off list in my brain.

“Hmm, I guess this is enough. Now, let’s make a bed... no, maybe I’ll just sleep with her?”

Yes Yes. I’ve come to the conclusion that sleeping together on Erofu’s uselessly extravagant and spacious canopy bed would be the best solution.

“Alright, that’s enough for today, let’s sleep.”

I turned off the light remotely, moved the sleeping Erofu a little to the side, and went to bed with Erofu’s boing-boing breasts just right in my face.

CSA 78 - Elf Vomit, GET

When I trudged back to the city from the orphanage, the market was already closed, so I thought I'd look for an inn, and was strolling around the city when I saw the hateful slutty erofu, alone on the terrace of a bar, dead drunk.

“Tell me what I did! That's right! I'm the worst elf who made a child go missing! The worst, the worst, the worst! Ahahaha! Really, the worst...”
“Customer, you should stop now...”
“What! I can still drink! Come on, keep it coming! Oeee... this might be bad... Oee, oeeeee, orororororo.”
“I told you so!”

What is that?

I thought about pretending to not see her, but I thought this was my chance instead and decided to get closer.

“Ugh, so disgusting...”
“It has been a while, hasn’t it, you’re, um, Nrva-san, was it?”
“Eh...?”
“That day, after I was attacked by you for no reason, I went through a lot of pain, but I finally came back from hell......To take revenge on you.”

When the girl who went missing suddenly appeared while she was drunk and told her that she had come to take revenge, I guess she exceeded her brain capacity, the slut erofu passed out, spouting bubbles from her mouth.

Since it was a shame that a beautiful woman was being ruined too much, I used Cleaning Magic to clean her up, then hid behind cover and cast Awakening Magic on her.

“Fuga-!? Huh... a dream... hics... higs... sorry... I’m sorry... if I didn't do that... uuuuu...”

It seemed like she's showing a lot of remorse to the point where it's become a trauma, so I thought it’d be okay to forgive her, but when I thought about it, I realized that setting a bunch of monsters to just one child is a vomit-dropping, rotten, wretched act that make her worse than an animal, so, as I thought, let’s bully her even more. ...Smirk.

Using Universal Magic Skill, I activate the ‘can you hear me... I’m speaking... directly... to your mind’ Magic (Telepathy Magic) and speak to the slutty erofu.

“Hate... hate...”
“Hii!?”
“It's your fault... it's your fault...”
“A-aa...!”
“I won't forgive you... I won't forgive you...”
“NOoo... STOp iiitt...!”

Her face looked nicely like she was going to go crazy with just one more push, so I sneaked up behind her, tapped the erofu on the shoulder while sticking my index finger up to make her turn around, and when she did, my finger poked her cheek, and the prank was done.

“Ah.”
“Yaay, I got her, I got her... wait, huh?”

When she turned to look at my face, her beautiful yellow-green eyes were! They rolled back around, exposing the whites of her eyes as she passed out.
So this is what happens to people when they go mad and pass out... I learned something new.

“I think I went too far...”
“Look, you gotta clean with these... wait, you’re asleep? ...kaah! it can't be helped... so, who are you, Ojou-chan?”

The bar clerk who brought cleaning supplies from the store looked at me curiously.

“We're just a little acquainted. I'll do the cleaning, so it's okay.”
“S’that so? I kinda feel bad.”
“No, no, ah, how about the meal bill?”
“Aah, I’ll put it in her tab, so you don’t have to worry about it, Ojou-chan.”
“I see. Then I'll clean it up quickly.”

I stored the erofu’s vomit that was scattered on the cobblestone ground in my Inventory, thinking it could be used as some kind of material, and used Cleaning Magic to clean up what I couldn't store.
By the way, the item name displayed in my Inventory is Elf Vomit.

“So fast, are you a magical genius, Ojou-chan?”
“It's just cleaning magic.”
“No, no, there aren't many people who can make it this clean! If Ojou-chan is fine with it, would you like to work here? I'll pay you a high salary!”
“I'll think about it. By the way, this er, I mean Nrva-san's house, which way is it?”
“Ah? I think it’s directly north from here, the house with the chimney overgrown with greenery? What? Are you going to carry her there, Ojou-chan?”
“Yes, well...”
“Kaa─h! There aren't many such good kids around! Alright, I got it! I'll carry her.”
“I'll be the one carrying her, so no thanks.”

Even though it’s the loathsome erofu, she is such a beautiful woman and has a bon-kyuu-bon! body. Even if God allows a man to touch that body, I will not, so I’ll have to refuse!

“You’ll do it... are you serious? With Ojou-chan’s thin arms, will you really be okay?”
“Even though I look like this, I work out a lot.”
“I see, then, I’ll leave her to you!”

It’s true that I don't want a man to touch her, but it was my fault that she passed out, so I was responsible for sending her home... that’s kinda what I thought, but I was also genuinely curious about this erofu’s private life, so I wanted to venture into this assault erofu’s home.

I said I work out, but I only gained a healthy body by doping myself with potions, and I haven't grown enough muscle to carry an adult.

So I'm going to use Floating Magic to make Erofu float and parade her around the city in a koala hug.

Tomorrow, news about a grown adult carried home in the arms of a child will be the talk of the city, and it will be extremely embarrassing for her. I'm looking forward to it! Kihihi.

(T/N: koala hug: probably being cradled like a baby.)

CSA 77 - I Got Homesick

“Chiwaa─ssu. Lotorl here.”
“Kya-!? Could you please stop appearing suddenly!?”

Leaving aside Ruriko-san, who normally speaks like a young lady, it seemed that Seira-san was no longer at the inn and had left.

* (T/N: Ruriko speaks somewhat formally here, but I don’t really know how to sound like that, so I just used standard English.)

Was this good timing or bad timing...?

I can't help that she’s not here, so let's go out to the city.

“Then, I’m going to go shopping in the city, so if you’ll excuse me.”
“Wait a minute! If you use this gate like an exit, wait, you’re already gone!?”

I retrieved the insect cage that I had completely forgotten about and left the inn.

I went to a secluded back alley, used my Compounding Skill to remove the gold and jewel from the golden rhinoceros beetles and jewel stag beetles, and, so that they wouldn't die from being played with by children, I synthesized aero adamantite into them and decided to leave them at the orphanage.

The fact that some of the jewels that had disappeared into the void were returned thanks to the insects was lucky for me. Thank you.

I opened a gate next to the orphanage and looked around, once I was sure no one was there, I moved through, and then, I walked confidently through the front entrance of the orphanage and went to the staff room.

“Oya, isn't it Lotorl? Are you back here again?”
“Ah, Obaa-chan...”
“Who’s an old hag?”
“I didn't say that, I didn't say that.”

When I entered the staff room, I saw Director Obaa-chan sewing the children's torn clothes together.

I don't have anything in particular to talk about to Director Obaa-chan.
Since I had almost no contact with her, I only knew her as an obaa-chan whom I occasionally saw.
It’s the same as the principal of a school in my previous life.
If it’s a school in the countryside, we might talk every day, but I have zero recollection of talking to the principal of the elementary school that Otaku-kun attended in my previous life.

“So, you need anything?”
“Umm... I think letting the children take care of insects to help educate them would be a good idea, and if you breed them well, you'll be able to sell them at the market every year, so what do you think?”
“...If you can't keep them, don't buy them, geez.”
“...I’m sorry.”
“Well, it's fine if it’s just insects. So, how much can you fork for the annoyance?”

I was expecting something like this since she's the boss of that blonde gorilla, but I guess there are only money-hungry people in this orphanage, aren't there?

No, well, the fact that I'm bringing an annoyance isn’t wrong though...

“I don't have any on hand right now, so... I'll leave some high potion behind.”
“Not potions, but high potions?”
“Yes.”

I took out 10 high potions from Storage and gave them to Obaa-chan.

“A Skill called Item Box, you have it?”
“I just happened to get it.”
“That so. So, these are the high potions?”

I thought I was going to be asked a lot of questions about my Skills, but she brushed it off quite easily I see.
She might have read from my expression that ‘this kid isn’t going to say anything about her Skills’, so she brushed it off.

“I have an appraisal ring, so please use it to appraise these.”

I took out the appraisal ring from my inventory and put it on Obaa-chan’s little finger.
Good, rugged hands.

“You got some convenient thing, huh? Can you give me this?”
“No.”
“So stingy. Now, high potions, huh? Hmm, it's definitely the real thing. Did you make this, Lotorl?”
“That’s right.”
“...Fufu, I'm happy to see that you've grown up to be a good child. You did your best.”

It was the first time other than my birthday that Obaa-chan patted me on the head, so I felt a little ticklish.
By the way, for orphans whose birthday is unknown, their birthday is the date they were placed in the orphanage.

“Would you like to try drinking one? It can help relieve stiff shoulders, back pain, and more.”

I tried offering her a bottle of high potion to cover up my embarrassment.

“I'll make more money selling it than drinking it myself, won’t I.”
“Money is important, but health is also important. Then, I'll give you another bottle, so please drink it now. If you say you won't drink it, I won't give it to you.”
“Who’s a money-obsessed, miserly cheapskate old hag?”
“I didn’t say a word of that at all!”

She might have become a little demented because of her age.

Pretending to scratch my back, I took out two mega potions from Storage, synthesized them to create an ex potion, and temporarily put it back in Storage, then I took out the ex-potion from Storage while making sure Obaa-chan could see it, and make her drank it in one gulp. (All of this takes 10 seconds)

“Apo-!?|
“Bft!?”

Apparently her teeth were fake, and due to the ex potion, her teeth suddenly grew, and the fake teeth flew out of her mouth with force like in a comedy movie.

“What are you doing!?”
“Isn’t it good that you become healthy... Pft.”
“You naughty child!”

By making her drink the ex potion, her face and hands, which were once full of wrinkles, have regained their luster, and it feels like she has rejuvenated from an obaa-chan to an oba-chan.

* (T/N: obaa-chan: grandma, oba-chan: aunt.)

“Still, my body sure is light. It's like I’m rejuvenated to my 20s.”
“That’s true.”

As expected, it didn’t rejuvenate her until she’s in her 20s, but if I say anything unnecessary, I'll bring trouble to myself, so I suppressed my desire to tsukkomi and simply affirmed it.

“If you have any trouble again, come back anytime. Of course I'll charge you for the annoyance, okay?”
“What about when I’m in trouble with money...?”
“At that time, you'll have to pay with your body. You can prepare meals, change diapers, and clean the garden, there’s a lot to do, you know?”
“Uhe...”

After that, I took the appraisal ring back, left the insects with Obaa-chan, and left the orphanage.

“Is it raining?”

When I looked up at the sky, there was not a single cloud and I could see the stars twinkling.

“I feel like I'm getting homesick...”

I might have been reminded of my grandmother from my previous life, and my soul wants to go back to that house from my previous life.

CSA 76 - I Was Spanked

“Okay, the Skill synthesis is complete.”
“Alright, let me see, ooh, there are so many!”
“Do you want me to disguise your card?”
“Please!”
“Then, I’ll be borrowing your card. Ei, ei, mun. It should be okay now.”
“Ooh, it’s back to normal!”
“If someone uses a high-level Appraisal Skill to appraise Seira-san yourself, you will be found out right away, so please be careful.”
“I understand! Thank you very much for today!”
“No, no, I'm looking forward to Seira-san's future activities.”
“Yes!”

* (T/N: ‘Ei, ei, mun’ is probably uma musume reference, Matikanetannhauser’s quote.)

And so, now that I’ve safely completed Seira-san's Skills synthesis, I decided to leave the inn quickly.

“Well then, see you again somewhere.”
“See you! Lotorl-chan!”
“Eh, huh? Are you going back already?”
“Ruriko-san too, see you. Tonight will be canceled.”
“Eh, what? Cancel? Ah, wait, we still need to talk.”

I teleported to the secret base I had built in the forest, hit my head against the wall, and hung my head.

“Haah, that kind of thing is not good... My heart hurts with guilt...”

To think I’d sexually harass that innocent Seira-san, something’s wrong with me.
I more or less apologized, but since the person herself didn't notice, there was nothing more I could do.
Is this what it feels like to bear an unforgivable sin?

“Haa... Clone body, please come here for a moment.”
“I am thou, thou art I, from the sea of thy soul, I come, Executor of Punishment, Lotorl. Now, count thine sins.”

* (T/N: apparently, this is persona reference, and they’re supposed to use archaic grammar.)

A mysterious magic circle appeared on the floor, glowing an ominous black-purple color, and my clone gradually rose up from there, her arms crossed.
I had no intention of activating such an effect, but right now, what’s important is the confession and punishment.

“I, Lotorl, sexually harassed the innocent Seira-san.”
“Guilty. Execution of punishment. 100 strikes. Show your butt.”
“Yes...”

I took off my skirt and panties, and I was held face down in the lap of the Executor of Punishment, Lotorl, who was sitting in seiza, and she began to spank my butt 100 times with full force.

“Lotorl is a bad girl!”
“Hinn! I'm a bad girl.”
“Lotorl is a bad girl!”
“Higih! I'm a bad girl.”
“Lotorl is a bad girl!”
“Agih! I'm a bad girl.”

Even though my butt is made of aero adamantite, it will become red and swollen if it is repeatedly slapped by hands that are also made of aero adamantite.

Sin requires punishment, but in the end, this is nothing but self-satisfaction, but I can't help but do it, and I feel like my heart will be lighter if I do it, that’s why I do it.

“Lotorl is a bad girl!”
“Giih! I'm, a bad girl.”
“Lotorl is a bad girl!”
“Gyai! I'm, a, bad girl.”
“Lotorl is a bad girl! But from now on, you'll be a good girl!”
“Gaah! Kuh, uuu, I'll be, a good girl...!”

For 100 times, she hit my butt as hard as she could, and I felt pain as if my butt was cracked, but I vowed to myself that I will never forget this pain and be a good girl from now on.

“Uuu, it hurts...”
“My sins have now been lightened, but they will never disappear for the rest of my life, so please engrave this in your heart. Well then, I'll see you again when I count my sins.”

She suddenly disappeared on her own, but did that one have an ego? It's my acting, right? I was acting, right? Arere?

“Fuu, let's try not to think about scary things.”

It hurt too much when I tried to put on the panties I took off, so I decided to wear just the skirt.

“It’s windy.”

‘I’m not wearing panties, so I won't be embarrassed’ that idea is putting the cart before the horse.

I won't use potions or healing magic until it heals naturally.
By the time this swelling has healed, I think my sin will have been even lighter.

“Now then, let's start creating an appraisal ring and cultivating Ruriko potion.”

The secret base has an open window frame, but the sun is setting and it's dark, so I use magic to attach a sphere of light to the ceiling to provide some light.

I took out aero adamantite from Storage and used Alchemy Skill to process it into a ring, and I also took out a grapefruit-sized grape that has Appraisal Skill and gradually liquefied and synthesized it to increase the skill level.

Even if an object only has a Skill with the level of 1, if I divide it into 100 equal parts and synthesize it with another object, I can create a maxed skill. Synthesis Skill really has a lot of uses.
If I make it too small, the Skill itself will disappear though.

“It’s done.”

Appraisal ring made of aero adamantite is complete.
Let’s keep it in my Inventory for immediate use.

Next, I go outside to cultivate Ruriko potion.

I took out Ruriko potion from my inventory, removed unnecessary effects such as follower, synthesized it with a normal sized grape seed, and planted it in the ground.

“Should I try using mega potion?”

I took out a mega potion from Storage and poured it on the grape seeds planted on the ground.

“Oh, so fast, so fast. The fruit is also only a little big, so mega potion is good.”

Next time I run out of high fertilizer potions, let’s use mega potions. The number of high fertilizer potions is increasing, so it won't run out anytime soon though.

Since I used grape seeds full of Skills, I was able to harvest a large amount of mutated Skills.

“Enslavement Skill, Hypnosis Skill, Lucky Pervert Skill, Time Stop (Perceived Time) Skill, X-Ray Vision Skill, Eavesdropping Skill, Restraint Skill, Training Skill, Lascivious Skill, Aphrodisiac Skill... What kind of eroge is this?”

For now, let's turn them all into rings and keep them in my Inventory. I might be able to use it for something.

My swollen butt throbbed, but I definitely won’t use them for crime, so please rest assured.

“With this, I’ve gotten the basic things I guess...?”

Now that I have obtained the Skills that disappeared into thin air, let's go gather food and daily necessities.

“I guess it's faster to get from Ruriko-san's inn than from the secret base near the city... Hmm, well, whatever.”

I don't want to make things worse by saying things like, “I don't know what kind of face I should make when I meet you.” That would be like running away from my sins, and I don't want to do that. I should just act normally.

“It’s because I can't do that that I’m worrying over this, isn’t it... Now's the time to do your best, Lotorl!”

I clapped my cheeks with both hands to get psyched, opened a gate, and headed to the room at the inn where Ruriko-san was staying.

────

CSA 75 - I Committed an Unforgivable Sin

When I opened the gate and teleported to the room at the inn where Ruriko-san and the others were, both of them blinked in surprise. Afterwards, I was bombarded with questions, but I remained silent the whole time with a smile on my face, and seeing that it was useless no matter what they say, both of them gave up.

“When I first disappeared, I used Teleportation Magic. And when I came back, I used Gate Magic.”
“You say that after all this time?”
“You seemed like you wouldn't say anything, but have you changed your mind?”
“Sort of, but I won’t give you teleportation-type Skill!”
“What!?”
“Ee─h!”

Don't you get surprised when someone suddenly appears? Don't you want to be surprised when I suddenly appear? That's what it means.

“I want it no matter what “No good.””
“I’ll do anything, “Fine.””
“Wait!!”
“Yatta!”

Once Seira-san said, “I'll do anything,” even Lotorl-chan, who has a will of steel, will be brought down to her knees. Gehehe.

“Ah, um, I’ll take it back after all...”
“What?!”
“Because you were having a vulgar smile that showed your ulterior motives...”

It-it can’t be... there's no way this perfect idol Lotorl-chan would have such a vulgar smile that reveals her ulterior motives!

“Come to think of it, Lotorl-chan, did you get fat somehow? Or rather, it feels like you’ve become more fitting for your age...?”
“Now that you mention it, certainly, I guess you’ve become healthier or something...?”
“Fufun. If you'll do anything for me, I'll tell you!”
“Nevermind then.”
“I’m also, the same, I guess... Ahaha.”

Lotorl, from now on, keep your desires to yourself! I felt as though I had received some kind words of gratitude from Otaku-kun from my previous life.
Or rather, isn't Otaku-kun from my previous life the one dripping with desire?
Both this life and the previous one are the same person! Right! The image of Otaku-kun from my previous life is quickly disappearing before reappearing in my mind.

I now understood the feelings of the red bowman who came from the future to beat up his past self in the anime I watched in my previous life.

“Well, whatever. I'd like Ruriko-san to help me out a bit, is that okay?”
“That ‘only answer with yes or no’ vibe is a little scary, but what is it?”
“It's not a big deal. I just need you to count the dots on the ceiling and it'll be over in no time.”
“...Lotorl-chan, you pervert.”
“Eh? Ruriko-san, could it be, you’re imagining that I would do something perverted to you? I would never ask such a thing when we have Seira-san right in front of us, you know?”
“Kuuuuh...! Hey, Seira, can I hit this kid? I can, right? Hey?”
“Umm... ahahaha.”

The Lecher Ruriko-san's ears are bright red, so let's play and tease her a little more.

“Then, Seira-san, could you please turn around?”
“Eh? Okay?”
“Then, Ruriko-san, please count the dots on the ceiling like I said earlier.”
“What’s the reason for counting the dots on the ceiling?”
“It’s better if you don’t hear it, you know?”
“...Hey? It's really not a perverted thing, right?”
“To think you'd like to have a secret affair while having Seira-san standing there without turning around while listening to us as she gets excited as the side dish, what kind of sexual fetish are you indulging in, Ruriko-san? That’s dangerous, you know?”
“I don’t have such a particular fetish!”

Sayla-san's ears turned bright red as she listened to the conversation with her back turned to us, so I was satisfied. Ho ho ho.

“Let's stop joking and get started right away.”
“Aah, geez! I just have to count the dots on the ceiling, right?! One! Two!"

Perhaps realizing that asking me any more questions would only bring unnecessary trouble upon herself, Ruriko-san obediently began counting the dots on the ceiling. I wish we could have played a little more, but let's save that for later.

When I looked at Seira-san, she seemed to be counting the dots on the wall , so now I could start working.

First, I cover Ruriko-san with Silence Magic, then I paralyze Ruriko-san's left hand with Paralysis Magic, and then turned her little finger into a potion, and while I’m at it, turn her ring finger into a potion to get a potion for cultivation use, took out mega potion from Storage, and sprinkled it on the missing fingers to regenerate them.

After canceling the spells, I patted Ruriko-san, who was still counting the dots on the ceiling, on the butt and told her that I was done.

“I’m done.”
“I see. So, did you need to pat my butt?”
“It’s a nice butt, easy to give birth with.”
“Thanks for that. Are you ready to get hit?”
“I'm prepared to be beaten if I do something perverted to another person, so go ahead until you’re satisfied!”
“Then, I won’t hold back. Lotorl-chan, you pervert!”

I received a light slap on the cheek.
A slap play with a beautiful woman... this is good in its own way.

“Ata, ehehe. Sorry for being perverted.”
“Are you really reflecting?”

And so, I was able to collect two Ruriko potions, so I put one in my Inventory, and for the other one, to make it easier for it to be synthesized into Seira-san, I set the Skill level to 1, remove unnecessary effects, and arrange it with Compounding Skill.

“What’s that potion?”
“It’s Ruriko potion.”
“My potion?”

With Ruriko-san's level 1 Appraisal Skill, she can only vaguely appraise the name of the potion, so I’ll tell her verbally. If I had an appraisal ring, I could have given it to her and have her appraise it, but I don't have it right now, so I'll make one later.

“This is Ruriko-san’s potion containing various Skills, including Concealment Skill, Fishing Skill, Literature Skill, Sever Sight Skill, Flight Skill, Sword Technique Skill, Storage Skill, Flame Skill, Appraisal Skill, Sewing Skill, Cooking Skill, Mental Strength Skill, Concentration Skill, Tenacity Skill, Stamina Skill, Muscle Strength Skills, Vision Skill, Hearing Skill, Technical Skill, Poison Resistance Skill, Paralysis Resistance Skill, Sleep Resistance Skill, Stun Resistance Skill, Fatigue Resistance Skill, Pain Resistance Skill, Item Drop Rate Skill, Quality Skill, Water Quality Skills, Luck Skill, Work Luck Skill, Health Luck Skill, and more.”

As I talked about the Skill names, Ruriko-san's eyes started turning around in circles, so she might need a Thinking Power UP Skill as well.

“What are you going to do with that potion?”
“I'm going to synthesize it into Seira-san.”
“I see...”

Ruriko-san put her right hand on her chin in deep thought, but she's probably just pretending to be thinking deeply. I understand that kind of thing.
I leave the chuunibyou Ruriko-san alone and go to Seira-san's side.

“...132, 133, 134.”
“Seira-san?”
“135, 136, 137...”

I now understand that Seira-san, who is still counting the spots on the wall, is probably the type of person who loses sight of her surroundings when she starts concentrating on one thing. Maybe she won’t find out if I fondle her breasts now?

“Seira-san, can I fondle your breasts? I can, right?”
“141, 142, 143...”

Since she didn’t answer, let's take this as an affirmation.

“Then, I won’t hold back.”

Funyuu.

“Ooh, this is quite... fuhihi.”
“151, 152, 153...”
“This concentration that’s uninterrupted even after this... I'm sure she doesn't have any Skills to improve her concentration... Are you saying that she can even endure monotonous work with her Patience Skill...!?”
“166, 167, 168... Phew, it’s done.”
“Seira-san.”
“Hyah!!? Hyai!?”
“You have something wonderful! I'm really impressed!”
“U-umm...? Thank you very much?”
“Then, I'm going to synthesize the Skills, so let me borrow your hand.”
“Y-yes!”

Aren’t I also quite good for acting as if my sexual harassment toward Seira-san never happened?

...I feel a little guilty.

But but, I’m about to synthesize a large amount of Skills into her for free, so let’s say we’re even.

“...I'm very sorry for fondling your breasts.”
“Hm? What are you talking about?”
“...No, it's nothing.”
“Nn─?”

I decided that I would carry this unerasable sin with me for the rest of my life.

CSA 74 - Unrealistic Clone

Having worked hard on their perverted acts to their satisfaction, the Lotorls are currently collecting rocks and stones for Storage at the riverside.

“It's easy because all I have to do is take aero adamantite out of my body and synthesize it into rocks and stones.”
“Right.”

After securing a sufficient amount, I placed the whole bunch on the ground from Storage, and pulled out a strand of hair... I couldn’t pull it out, so I liquefied it to cut it, before synthesizing it with a stone grain.
It became aero adamantite silicone protein grain, so I removed the silicone and protein components using my Compounding Skill.

Next, I synthesized the aero adamantite grain into a stone, creating a fist-sized aero adamantite, and I synthesized it into a rock.
Now that I have a lump of aero adamantite, I liquefied it and synthesized it with rocks and stones that we had collected all at once to mass-produce aero adamantite.

“Next is collecting wood.”
“Oo─h”

I liquefied the trees growing in the area and cut them and collected them in Storage while making sure the stumps remain, then I sprinkled high potion on the remaining stumps and regenerated them.

After I collected about 1000 trees, I used Alchemy Skill to turn some of the branches that broke when I felled them into wood powder to create a sailor suit-style top and bottom set.
I used Compounding Skill to bleach the sailor suit-style top and bottom set, making it pure white, then I made a potion from the medicinal herbs growing around area, used Alchemy Skill to turn them into fine powder, and used them to dye the entire collar light blue, and dye a single light blue line going around the center of the skirt.

“Motivation, multiplied 100 times! Do your best, Lotorl! Let's do our best this whole day!”
“Let's go─!”

The clothes I am wearing already had Elasticity Skill synthesized into them in the first place, so I liquefied them and synthesized them into the sailor suit-style top and skirt.

“While we’re at it, let's also make our panties pure white.”
“Mmph, an active, neat and beautiful girl is just nice~”

With the clone body’s shared vision, I was able to fully enjoy the sight of Lotorl doing her best, resulting in me getting horny, so I hugged her and rubbed her entire body.

“If we don’t go back soon, Seira-san and the others will get tired of waiting.”
“...Are you going to erase me again?”
“Yes, you are no longer needed, so please disappear.”
“The way you say it... that's terrible... aah... I’m disappearing... I'm disappearing again...”

Isn't my realistic performance quite good?
It’s just an act, the poor clone-chan doesn't actually exist, so please rest assured.

“For now, I’ll turn my pinky finger into a potion... Gugiiiiiiii!”

I quickly took out mega potion from Storage and poured it on to the little finger to regenerate it.

Next, I used Compounding Skill to remove unnecessary components such as follower and immortality from the Lotorl potion, synthesized it into grape seeds, planted it in the ground, took out two mega potions and synthesized them, creating an ex potion, and sprinkled it on the grape seeds I planted.

“Ooh, it's growing really fast... or rather, isn't it too big?”

It has grown to a size that could be better called grapefruit rather than grape. As might be expected from grapes?

“Let me have a taste.”

I plucked off one of the grapes that had ripened heavily and ate it.

“Crunch, crunch, crunch... Yeah, it's delicious.”

It tasted like a grape, but the skin was thin and the texture was as crunchy as if I was eating a pear. I was so satisfied with this that I can add it to my full course of life. By the way, I’m in the eat-pears-with-the-skin-on camp. I also like its squishy texture that comes from putting it in the freezer to freeze and then putting it in the fridge to thaw. You guys should try it too.

Let’s leave that aside and quickly collect Skills.

I see many derivative Skills similar to last time, but I can't seem to find any housework-type Skills or luck-type Skills. Only on the level of Knife Handling Skill, I guess?

“Hmm, should I have Ruriko-san share her little finger?”

I feel bad for Ruriko-san, but I'll have her count the dots on the ceiling.

With that decided, I put the grapes in Storage, liquefied the remaining wood and cleaned up the mess, and then, so as not to cause a demon fusion due to a teleportation accident, I opened a gate and teleported to the inn where Ruriko-san and the others were.

────

(T/N: I don’t know that demon fusion reference, the full course reference is probably toriko.)

CSA 73 - Lotorl Did Her Best

Summary of the previous chapter.
All items lost.
That is all. The end.

“It’s a LIE DONDOKODOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!”

It's impossible for all the items I've collected so far to disappear into thin air if I synthesize my Storage Skill with my Inventory Skill, right!?

“This kind of bug must be due to negligence on the part of the management! Maintain it properly!!”

Since the little girl god exists, there must be other gods that also manage this world, so please god in charge of Skill, please return my items, please!

“Storage... there’s nothing... Inventory... there’s nothing...”

I try to thrust my hand into the void, but there's nothing.

“NGiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!”

I was so stressed out that I held my head in my hands, bent myself back,  and let out a cry like a wild animal.

God in charge of Skills, I will definitely make you cry! Absolutely!!

I vent my anger at things indiscriminately, calmed my mind, and thought about the future.

“The valuables are, well, they’re fine, the potions, I can make them again, I can collect material items again, buy clothes again, buy ingredients again, and then... aah, guild cards... re-issuing... it's so troublesome...”

It's as troublesome as when I accidentally erased all the data when transferring data from the SSD to the QTD... By the way, QTD is the abbreviation for next-generation hard disks, and its official name is... Quantum? Quad? ...In the first place, I don't even know the official name of SSD...

“Maybe it’s Solid or Solidus, there's no Liquid...”

I feel like my thoughts are getting more and more off track because I want to escape reality.

Let's go back in time.

“Ugh... each and every time-reversal-type of magic is super-class magic... even just sending telepathy to my past self is super-class magic... Even if I use a maxed Universal Magic, it might just kill me?”

I might be able to use it someday after I grow more.

“In that case, relying on my future self... it’s super-class magic after all... Even if I go into cold sleep, there's no point in it unless I grow... I'm stuck...”

Athlete Lotorl, retiring here.

“Haa... let’s straightforwardly collect them again...”

I feel like the people who live in the ocean of my heart also say ‘that’s good’. I am Thou, the True Self.

“Troublesome, troublesome, troublesome! No way, no way, no way, no, no, Sana no Uta, Futagun!”

* (T/N: I think it’s a reference to cthulhu.)

I accidentally praised a heretic god, but it's a fictional god that appeared in fiction of my previous world, so I'm sure it'll be okay.

“Become a flag... and chase away the god in charge of Skills...”

I don't think it will work out that well, but since this is a different world, it wouldn't be strange if a similar god existed. Or rather, exist!

“Haah... I guess I'll leave escaping reality here, and do my best.”

For now, to keep myself motivated, I used my Body Modification Skill to stretch the skin from my index finger into a string, used Alchemy Skill to liquefy it and cut it, and used a high potion...

“They’re all disappeared into thin air, haven't they... Healing.”

My motivation is─

“Do your best Lotorl! Me!”

To get back my motivation even more, I tied my white-brown hair into a ponytail using the string-like skin.

“Next is the clothes.”

I took out aero adamantite from storage...

“Enough and learn already, me. Everything has disappeared into thin air!”

...I'll make the clothes later.

Now that I have the ponytail, I think I'm half motivated, so let's collect the ingredients for the high potion.

“The medicinal herbs... I don't have a high fertilizer potion, so I have to gather them straightforwardly.”

There are cluster points for medicinal herbs here and there, so it's not that hard, but as expected, its troublesomeness still wins over. I'll still do it though.

I synthesized the medicinal herbs I have gathered, increased their potency, and then turned them into a potion.

“Yes, a high potion is complete!”

All that’s left is to eat unharvested grapes, spit out the seeds, and synthesize the high potion with grape seeds.

“...I need one more high potion.”

Although plants grow slower with high potion than with high fertilizer potion, they still grow quickly even with it, so I thought of mass producing high potion for that, but I don’t know if my mind is unstable, I make a lot of basic mistakes.

I collected some medicinal herbs, made them into a high potion, planted grape seeds with high potion effects in the ground, and poured the high potion I made just now on them.

Tens of minutes later.

“It has fewer fruits than usual, but it’s grown well, hasn’t it.”

I meditated to calm my mind while waiting, but I think I fell asleep halfway through.
I managed to refresh myself, so all is well.

All that's left to do is turn the grapes into potions to create high potions, put them in Storage, and repeat the process.

When I mass-produced apples before, I grew them with high fertilizer potions, so they grew into mega potions, but it seems like if I grow them with high potions, they only become high potions.

After I had created about 100 high potions, I remembered that I could turn the entire tree into potions, so I let out a deep sigh and created about 3000 high potions like that.

“Let's make half of them mega potions.”

I put the 1500 of the high potions that appeared on the ground into Storage, synthesized the rest at once into 750 mega potions and put them into Storage.

“Come to think of it, I've never synthesized mega potions before, haven’t I?”

Let's try it now.

I took out two mega potions from Storage and synthesized them.

“Ex potion is completed!”

I’m the one who decided on the name.

Its official name indicated by the Appraisal Skill is Nourishing Tonic Energizing Physical Strength Omnipotent Universal Disease Curing Health and Longevity Potion. It's too long!

Its effects seem to be curing any injury or illness and even make your body healthier.
In other words, in game terms, it is a potion that has the effect of increasing maximum HP and maximum MP.

“Let's drink it, gulp gulp gulp.”

It’s water.

“What has changed in particular... Hm, has my stomach become a little fuller?”

I also feel like my arms and legs are a little fuller than before.

“Let's drink more.”

I took out 10 mega potions from Storage, synthesized them to 5 ex potions, and drank them.

“Oh, I’m fat, I’m fat. I’m squishy... Ehe, ehehe, Bunshin no Jutsu!”

Let's perform an accurate physical examination using Clone Magic!

“Ugh.”
“Eeerrrggg!!”

Lotorl-chan's formerly spindly body had transformed into a healthy body that was unrecognizable. As might be expected of a pervert.

“Stay away from me, you pervert.”
“Ofuu... say it more...”
“Gross, you damn pervert! Go away somewhere!”
“Ooh... that's the besh...”
“Gross! Gross! Gross! If you get any closer, I'll report you!”
“Lotorl-chwan! Muchuu!”
“Nmm!? Puhah! No! Let go!”
“Ehe, ehehe, ehehehe. Lotorl-chan is so cute.”
“Acting by myself is kinda, it's the most disgusting thing ever, you know?”
“It doesn’t matter what we do to ourselves, right? it’s our own after all.”
“I guess that's true. Then, let's continue, Stop! Don't do anything worse than this!”
“Sniff-sniff, lick-lick-lick-lick, chu-chu-chu-chu!”
“No! Stop it! Let go of me!”
“Ehehe, let's do something that feels even better. Guhehe.”
“NOOOOOOOOO!”

After that, the Lotorls continued to mass-produce her dark history.

CSA 72 - Zero

The inn where Ruriko-san was staying was right nearby, so it took us only a few minutes to get there.

“Ruriko-san, are you there─?”
“Ye─s. Ara, Lotorl-chan. And Seira is with you, meaning, so that’s how it is.”
“Ruriko-san, you’ve guessed quickly.”
“It's the massage, right? Come on in quickly.”
“Ruriko-san, you're not very perceptive...”
“Huh? Was I wrong?”
“You might not be wrong... but it’s not time yet...”
“Somehow, that's a suggestive way of saying it. For now, come in, come in.”
“Pardon the intrusion.”

When we entered the room, Ruriko-san sat down on the bed, while Seira-san and I sat at the table.

Let's get straight to the point.

“It's about the Skill synthesis. Before doing that, I'd like to take a look at Seira-san's skills, okay?”
“O-okay!”

Appraisal, appraisal.

I activated my Appraisal Skill and a list of Seira-san’s Skills was displayed.

Recovery Magic Skill level 45, Healing Wave Skill level 1, Patience Skill level 60, Wand Technique Skill level 10.

Her Patience Skill level is high because she has treated injured and sick people who are unbearable to watch, no doubt about it. If I’m wrong, I’m willing to do 100 squats completely naked.

“I see, your Skills are totally like a healer’s.”
“Ehehe, thank you, thank you.”
“Then, please write down the Skills you want or the Skills you think it would be nice to have on paper.”
“I understand.”

While Seira-san was writing down the Skills she wanted on a piece of paper, Ruriko-san spoke to me.

“By the way, that girl, Alrina-chan, was it? She doesn’t seem to be here though?”
“She’s currently training at the Sewing Guild.”
“Heeh, Sewing Guild, huh... maybe I’ll have her make me some cute clothes after she finishes that training?”
“If you pay her upfront, I think she’ll do a good job. She’s a money-hungry person after all.”
“That's a terrible thing to say...”
“I finished writing!”
“So quick-!?”

Seira-san, who cheerfully handed me a piece of paper with Skills written on it, was so innocent and cute.
Let's take a look right away.

“Flight Skill, Storage Skill, Appraisal Skill, if you have recovery-type Skills, all of them, if you have housework-type Skills, all of them, if you have Skills that make me lucky, those too, please. Do you have any Skill that can make me rich? I see, how cute.”
“Ehehe.”
“Is that cute...?”
“If it’s just this, I can do it one way or another, but I don't have any on hand right now, so I'll go make some. I'll be back soon, so please wait for a moment.”
“Yes! I’m counting on you!”

And so, I teleported to a secret base I built in a nearby forest.
I don't think there would be any problem with these two seeing me teleport.

I go out from my secret base and first, I’ll turn my little finger into a potion.
It is an experiment to see how much pain my aero adamantized body can endure, as well as the fact that it is purely out of stock.

“Eiya!”

I grabbed the little finger of my left hand with my right hand and activated my Potion Creation Skill.

“Igiiiiiiii!?”

As I thought, it hurts when I get hurt. It's better than before because I have All-Resistance UP Skill, but painful things are painful.

I took out a mega potion from Storage, poured it on my left hand, and watched my little finger grow as it moved in an exquisitely disgusting manner.

“Yosh!”

I thought it might not heal because it was synthesized with metal, but I'm glad it healed normally.

Next, I used my Compounding Skill to remove unnecessary things from the potion, such as memories, follower, and immortality, synthesized it with grape seeds, and planted the grape seeds that had my Skills in the ground.

“Come to think of it, I'm immortal, aren’t I...?”

I completely forgot about it because it doesn't appear in the Skill list.
Since I already promised Alrina, let’s make a growth potion later.

“I'll start from this one.”

I took out a high fertilizer potion from Storage, sprinkle it on the grape seeds planted on the ground, and harvested the fruit when it grows.

“Ooh, it’s full of mutated variants! Lucky!”

Perhaps thanks to planting grape seeds with multiple Skills, grapes with upward or downward compatibility with those Skills, or even entirely new Skills, have grown.

Assessment Skill, Analysis Skill, Observation Skill, are they derivatives of Appraisal Skill?

Floating Skill, Levitation Skill, Gliding Skill, Soaring Skills, these are flight-type Skills I guess.

Fire Magic Skill, Water Magic Skill... et cetera, et cetera, there are only Skills that are upward compatible with Universal Magic Skill, is it because Universal Magic Skill is the highest level of magic-type Skills?

Energy Recovery Skill, Stamina Recovery Skill, Mental Strength Recovery Skill, they should be derivatives of Magic Power Recovery Skill.

Katana Technique Skill, Tantou Technique Skill, Short Sword Technique Skill, Pole Technique Skill, are they derivatives of Sword Technique Skill?

* (T/N: previously named ‘Swordmanship Skill’, but changed to Sword Technique Skill, to keep up the theme. Tantou can also be Short Katana, should I have used that?)

Item Box Skill, Item Chest skill, Safekeeping Skill, Cache Skill, Depository Skill, Warehouse Skill, Closet Skill, Cabinet Skill, Container Skill, Garage skill, Backyard Skill, Inventory skill, Vault Skill... there’s Inventory Skill!

Lucky! I immediately liquified it and synthesized it into myself.

“Tettere─! Lotorl has obtained Inventory Skill!”

Inventory Skill, activate!
A list of items was displayed in front of me, but there was nothing in it. why?

“Nn─? Aah, it's treated separately from Storage huh...”

For now, I'll put some soil in my Inventory to check its maximum capacity.

“1 kg for 1 stock, up to 99.. Is it because it’s level 1?”

Shall I try leveling it up to max temporarily to see how much I can fit into it?

I planted grapes with Inventory Skills in the ground, sprayed them with high fertilizer potion to mass produce them, synthesize them, and repeat the process until I get the perfected Inventory Skill, and synthesize it into myself.

“The 1kg stock remains the same, up to 999... Although the item list makes it easy to see what I have in there... it's too mediocre...”

My current Storage Skill has risen to level 4 before I knew it, and I can now stock 600 types of items and 600 items of the same type, so if I look at its level of growth, my Storage Skill has an overwhelming victory. Inventory Skill-kun, bye-bye.

“That’s what I was thinking, but can’t I synthesize my Storage Skill with my Inventory Skill? I’m so smart!”

And so, I took out all the soil from my Inventory, used the Compounding Skill to adjust the level of my Inventory Skill to 4, the same level as Storage Skill, and then synthesized them.

“Huh? The items disappeared? Aah, it's treated separately like before. Then, I’ll use Compounding Skill to return it to Storage and Inventory...”

Nn? They’re still gone? What does this mean?

“No way, it can’t be... that's a lie, right? It's a lie, isn’t it...?”

Zero items in Storage.
Zero items in Inventory.

Zero... zero, zero, zero.

“ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!?”

CSA 71 - I Was Cured

I’m Lotorl, the Banished Isekai TS Reincarnator, kicked out of the Sewing Guild for bowing my head over and over again to the receptionist onee-san while asking her to please take care of Alrina who will be staying at the Sewing Guild for training, so much that Alrina kicked my ass out of the guild for being too obstinate about that.

Right now, I'm in the middle of hanging my head on a bench in a park.

“Haa... so painful...”

My body is so heavy at the level of losing half my body.

“It seems like I was too dependent on Alrina... this is no good...”

Ah... I don't feel motivated to do anything... I'm Kyomu Kyomu Purin...

* (T/N: Kyomu Kyomu Purin - that’s probably a meme or something. I don’t know how it came to be like that, the original is probably a song.)

“Fou─nd you.”

When I looked up at the person who had called out to me, I saw that it was a person who often had drinking parties with Shishido-san and others, wearing whitish clothes and, no matter how you look at her, seem to be a neat and clean type healer onee-san. I don't know her name.

“Ah, the onee-san who I know but don’t know your name.”
“Y-yeah. I haven’t told you my name, haven’t I? My name is Seira. Nice to meet you.”
“Once again, my name is Lotorl. Please take care of me.”

After shaking hands, Seira-san came to sit down next to me.

“You seem down, is there something wrong?”
“...I have to part with someone really important to me...”
“I see...”

When I thought I could smell a soft, refreshing scent, I found that I’m being hugged by Seira-san. Umm, what does this mean?

“That was painful, wasn’t it... You can cry a lot now... I'll take it all in.”
“Umm...?”
“It's painful, isn’t it... It's sad, isn’t it... There, there, good girl, good girl...”

I feel like I'm being misunderstood in a very strange way, but the feeling of those fluffy breasts is the best, and being caressed on the head is also the best, and being whispered in a cute voice is also the best, so isn’t it okay to stay like this for a while? No, I'm sure it’s okay!

“Lo-to-rl-san.”
“Ha, that voice, Alrina!? Why are you here!?”

I don't remember doing anything untoward even once, but I quickly escaped from Seira-san’s angelic embrace.

“When I came to give you something you forgot, I found you doing this. Even for my heart that is deeper than the ocean, there are things I can forgive and things I can't forgive, you know? Hey, Lotorl? Who is that woman?”

Alrina-san was radiating murderous intent that looked like she could kill someone at any moment as she glared at Seira-san.
This is a very problematic situation. Seira-san is completely getting dragged into this argument, so I have to protect her somehow!

“This is Seira-san. She is a very kind-hearted person who comforted me when I was heartbroken after parting ways with Alrina.”
“H-hello.”
“Heeh... hmm... well, it doesn't seem like you're lying... but you know... seeing you hugging another woman right after we had such a touching parting... There’s no way my heart will be calm, right? Right?”

She’s probably talking about the kissing scene, not the scene where I got my ass kicked out. ...Even so, if you ask me if it was touching, I think it's a bit different though.

That doesn’t matter right now, my first priority is to think about how I can appease Alrina who was going mad with jealousy.

“I sincerely apologize and kindly ask for your forgiveness.”

I took out a jewel grape from storage and offered it to Alrina.
In the end, I could only come up with valuables.

“I forgive you!”

So easy. You're too easy, Alrina-san. As your younger sister, I'm really worried about you.

I received the insect cage I had forgotten from Alrina, and she held the jewel grape I gave her over to the sun, admiring its beauty as she left for the Sewing Guild, while I saw off my greedy and jealous older sister Alrina with lukewarm eyes.

“What an amazing kid...”
“That’s the important person I talked about earlier.”
“Eh, you weren’t separated by death?”
“She said she will be training at the Sewing Guild for a while, so we will be separated during that time.”
“What, I misunderstood, huh... but I'm glad she’s alive.”

Eh, what’s with this girl, isn’t she too nice? I’m going to fall in love, you know? I already fell in love at first sight, but I'm going to fall in love even more, you know?

“Ha!? A chill!? I felt a chill down my spine!?”

Alrina!? Are you saying you have awakened into a Newtype?? Eei, don't send your thoughts to me!

“Are you okay? Did you get a fever?”

Seira-san, as if it were a matter of course, put our foreheads together, and I helplessly fell.

“Hau, luv...”
“You feel a little bit feverish. Healing.”

As the light enveloped my body, my mind and body were healed, and I felt refreshed, as if even my evil thoughts had been purified. Were Alrina's thoughts evil...?

“Thank you very much. I'm feeling much better already!”
“Hehe, that’s good.”

Ah, what a cute smile. I want to protect this smile!

“So, about the Skill synthesis, if it’s for Seira-san, I'd be happy to do it for free."
“Eh? Were we talking about that?”
“Huh? Didn't you hear from Daigen-san?"
“Eh, yeah. That's right, but, ah, that's what you meant! Sorry I was slow to understand.”
“No, I'm also sorry for skipping over the process. So, if there's a place where not many people can see, I'd like to do it there. Is there a place?”
“Hmm, my home has my family there, so can’t we do it at Lotorl-chan’s inn?”
“Right now, I haven’t booked an inn... then, let’s go to Ruriko-san’s inn.”
“Ruriko was also looking for Lotorl-chan, so you’ve met her?”
“Yes, I recommended her to become a fisherman and synthesized Skills into her.”
“Fisherman...?”

And so, let's go to Ruriko-san's inn.

CSA 70 - A New Beast Has Awakened

After narrowly escaping from the blonde gorilla monster, I opened a teleportation gate and returned to the Sewing Guild.
I opened the gate to a back alley, so no one found out, okay?

“Ah, where have you been?! You have no sense of danger leaving such valuable things behind!”
“I personally thought I had already delivered it though?”
“...No good. We can't deliver these.”
“Ee─h, then I’ll use my Alchemy Skill to convert these to iron, you don’t mind, do you?”
“T-that’s even more no good!! I won't forgive you if you do such a wasteful thing!!”
“What a selfish person. Then, just deliver these.”
“Kuu───h! The reward won’t change, okay?!!”

Onee-san is stamping her feet on the spot in anger. She’s so cute.
The fact that she is angry at my lack of financial sense is also a big plus. I'm sure she will become a good wife in the future.

“You are doing something again...”
“Alrina, are the fabrics done?”
“Yes, here it is.”

I feel like Alrina is holding more than a dozen pieces of cotton fabric, but was fabric making that easy? Is this isekai common sense?

“How did you make so many?”
“Eh? I put cotton thread in the machine and turned the handle, and it was done right away, you know?”
“I see...”

No matter how you look at it, that’s an isekai item. Or did such a machine exist in my previous world? I've never done any sewing in my previous life, so I have no idea at all.

I received 15,000 el as a reward for my sewing needle request and my seamstress level increased to 5, while Alrina received 1,500 el as a reward for her cotton fabric request and her seamstress level increased to 3.

“Can’t you do something with this kid?”
“It’s impossible.”
“...You're having a hard time too, I see.”

The receptionist onee-san and Alrina are talking about something, but I can't do anything about my personality.

When I meet an onee-san, I praise her, and when I meet another onee-san, I bully her. Everything is as I wish. Just kidding.

While I was waiting for Alrina and Onee-san to finish talking about their hardships regarding me, I took out iron ingots from Storage and converted them into another metal while juggling them with my hand. When they both looked at me with scornful eyes, I winked at them in return.
When they saw that, they let out a deep sigh, so I took a deep breath so that their happiness wouldn't escape, and tried to sniff their good smell, but I couldn't really tell because they were a little far away.

“Hey, Lotorl.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“I've decided to work here for a while, so what are you going to do, Lotorl?”
“Eh, for a while, meaning?”
“Nn─, for now, I guess until my seamstress level reaches 30. It seems like I'll be able to make all kinds of clothes once I reach that level.”
“I see, isn't that fine? I wonder how many days it will take to reach level 30?”

When I turned my gaze to Onee-san and asked her, she replied, “About six months to a year, I guess?” Are you for real...?

“In other words, while Alrina is training, even if I want to travel, Alrina wants to be left here, is that it?”
“That's right. And half a year will pass in the blink of an eye.”
“Ee─h, Uu─h, Haaa... I understand. I'll go on ahead, I'll contact you when I get there.”
“I think Lotorl will be fine, but be careful, okay?”
“I know that. Then, please take care of my older sister.”
“Yes, I will definitely make her into a great seamstress, so don’t worry and leave it to me!”

And so, for some incomprehensible reason, my older sister was NTR’ed away by the Sewing Guild.

“Wait, why the hell? Alrina, please come here for a second!”
“It hurts, hey, Lotorl, I said it hurts!”

I pulled Alrina's arm into a back alley and did a kabedon on her. I wanted to try it once. Isn't this perfect for this situation?

Putting that aside, I can't forgive the fact that Alrina was easily NTR’ed.

“Ah, w-what is it...?”

At the instant I kabedon’d her, Alrina's body twitched for a moment, and her expression turned a little frightened, which was the cutest thing ever. Is it okay to eat her just like this?

“I think I understand Alrina’s desire to be independent, but I am not convinced. Didn’t I say that family will always be together?”
“...But I wanted to make cute clothes. I also want Lotorl to wear the clothes I made... so...”
“Fuu─n. You say such cute things. Then, that's enough. The overprotective little sister will do everything she can to protect her precious older sister, you don’t mind, right?”
“What are you going to do?”
“Assortment of Skills ~ Accompanied by Aero Adamantite ~”
“What’s with that name that sounds like high-class cuisine...”

I took out grapes and rings with various useful Skills from Storage and liquefy and synthesize them into Alrina.

“First of all, Storage, Appraisal, Work Luck, All-Ability UP, and All-Resistance UP.”
“Even if I have that many Skills, I can’t use them all, you know!”
“Now, now, next I'll synthesize aero adamantite silicone into your hands.”
“Aero, what?”

I took out a chunk of aero adamantite silicone from Storage and synthesized it into Alrina's hand.

“Aah!? What are you doing!?”
“I don't want to risk getting needles pricking you.”
“Don’t synthesize metal-like objects into me for that reason!”
“By the way, my entire body has been synthesized with aero adamantite.”
“Scary! Lotorl is scary! You quit being human?!!”
“Ehehe.”
“It’s no laughing matter, you know!?”

Now that strengthening Alrina is finished, all that's left is money.

I took out a cash bag filled with nearly 20 million El from storage and told Alrina to put it in her Storage.

“This should be enough for now.”
“...Really, Lotorl is so selfish.”
“I don't want the people I care about to get hurt.”
“Aren’t you completely a siscon now?”
“I'm fine with being a siscon. Arlina is precious to me, I love you dearly.”
“...I too, love Lotorl.”

Alrina gently approached my face, so I closed my eyes and waited with a kissing face, but she pinched my nose instead.

“Whya?”
“Hey, Lotorl. I'm pretty pissed off, you know? Suddenly I stopped being human, and my precious little sister turned into a metal monster. I feel like I’m about to blow my top... so this is punishment.”
“Nmm!?”

Kissing someone while their nose is pinched will suffocate them. But that's good.

“Nn─”
“Muu─muu─”
“Nn───”
“Muu─muu─kh”
“Nn───────”
“Nngh! Nnn!!”
“Nn───────────”
“.........”

The comfort of the kiss and the lack of oxygen caused a dopamine rush in her brain, and Lotorl was imprinted with a new fetish.

“Ha!? A dream?”
“You only lost consciousness for a moment. Next time you do something strange, I'll give you an even bigger punishment, so be prepared.”
“Even, bigger... gulp.”
“I will make your body unable to live without me.”
“Oh...”

My selfish actions may have unleashed the beast that was hiding deep within Alrina.

Heh, a yandere sister is just what I wanted.

CSA 69 - I Gave Away the Bell Crickets and Crickets

I remembered that I had left my insect cage at the orphanage, so I went to a secluded back alley, opened a teleportation gate, and came to the back of the orphanage.

“I have to retrieve the insect cage quickly.”

It's only been a few hours since I left, so I don't think it's likely that it was sold to a merchant, but more than that, I can see me getting scolded by Sensei for coming back to the orphanage so quickly. I hate that.
I have to collect the insect cage secretly and more importantly, quickly.

“Slowly and quietly, slowly and quietly...”
“What are you doing?”
“Uwa!? Wait, it’s you, Lefie? Please don't scare me.”

Even though I sneaked into the orphanage without making a sound, Lefie immediately found me.
I was conceited, thinking it would be fine even if I didn't use covert-type magic. Failure failure.

“Did you forget something?”
“That's right, that’s right. I forgot my insect cage. Did Lefie leave it in the room where we were?”
“Insect cage? Who knows? I don't know.”
“I see. Well, it's probably there.”

Since Lefie found me, I decided to stop sneaking around and walk openly through the orphanage. If Sensei finds me, she’ll find me. I’ll talk about the situation honestly then.

“I'm pretty sure it was in this room... oh, there it was. Aah, I’m glad.”
“Hey, hey? What kind of insects do you keep?”
“Eh, they’re beetles or crickets though?”
“Can I see?”
“Sure, that's fine.”

I don't want to stay in the orphanage too long, but I can't refuse my cute little Lefie's request.
I remove the cloth bags and put the insect cage on the floor.

“Waa, what a pretty stag beetle! There's also a rhinoceros beetle!”
“Isn’t it? Isn’t it? Just by listening to the chirps of these bell crickets and crickets, your injuries and illnesses will heal. Isn't it amazing?”
“It’s amazing! H-hey, Lotorl-chan... I have a favor to ask of you.”

Lefie is fidgeting and wriggling around while looking at the stag beetle.
I'm a very perceptive person, so I knew exactly what Lefie was going to ask for.
It's a request from the cute little Lefie, so I can't bluntly refuse it.

“It can't be helped. I'll give you the bell cricket and cricket.”
“Ee─h! I want the stag beetle!"
“No. When Lefie becomes an adult, it might be okay to give it as present for a commemoration though.”
“Really!?”
“Really. I won't lie to Lefie.”
“Yatta─! Thank you, Lotorl-chan!”

Aa─h, how cute the happy Lefie is! I want to hug her, pat her head, and shower her cheek with kisses right now!
Haa, so cute! Leffy-chan I luv you!

“Aaan, Sensei want a present from Lotorl-chan too.”

Before we knew it, the blonde gorilla had arrived and her eyes were fixed on the golden-colored rhinoceros beetle and rainbow-colored stag beetle. Where did you come from, you damn third wheel?

* (T/N: third wheel literally means disturbing insect.)

“Gunununu...”
“Ah? What?”

As expected, these insects aren't things that can just be given away, so I have to somehow deceive her...

“No, it’s nothing... Well, it's about time I go.”
“Ee─h, you are leaving already?”
“Let's meet again somewhere, Lefie.”
“Yeah! See you, Lotorl-chan!”

I wrapped the insect cage containing the rhinoceros beetles and stag beetles in the cloth bag and quickly left the room.

“I. w.a.n.t a present.”

However, Sensei went around and cut in. I can't escape.

“...Haa. Haa, then, have some insect food here.”
“Ha?”
“The chirps of the bell crickets and crickets have a healing effect, so if you breed them properly, won’t you make a profit?”

She didn’t specify the gift, so I took out six months' worth of insect food from Storage and gave it to Sensei before running away from the orphanage like a fleeing hare.

“Ah, hey! Wait! Jewels! Leave jewels behind!!"
“I don't want to! By the way, crickets are really delicious, so they're good for emergency food! Goodbye!”

The blonde gorilla going ‘gya gya’ while chasing me like a monster hag, to put it bluntly, looked like a monster.
So that the monster wouldn't catch up with me, I used Acceleration Magic and escaped.

CSA 68 - I Forgot

“Are you still going to continue with Sewing Guild’s requests?”
“Of the course!”
“Do you know what mahjong is?”
“No, I don’t.”
“Okay then.”

* (T/N: the mahjong part is a response to when Alrina said ‘mochi no ron’ that I translated to ‘of the course’)

I thought there was mahjong in this world, but at least Alrina doesn't seem to know about it.
If it didn’t exist, I could make one, sell it to the Merchant Guild, get a patent for it, and then I'm sure I'll be rich. I can see the punchline that there was something similar with a different name though.

When Alrina went to look at the request board, she immediately decided to accept the request to make cotton fabric.
Alrina originally had Sewing Skills, so she may just be having fun doing it.

“Now then, I’ll go accept a level 4 request... wait, what, is this?”

Capturing arachne, collecting arachne thread, capturing killer silkworm, collecting killer silkworm cocoon, capturing giant tarantula, collecting giant tarantula thread.

“The difficulty level has jumped up too much! Wait, these are level 40 requests...”

What a careless Lotorl-chan. Ohohoho.

“Once again, the level 4 requests are... repairing old clothes, removing stains, making socks, making pillows, making stuffed animals, capturing silkworms, delivering silkworm cocoons, delivering mulberry leaves, delivering sewing needles, delivering cutting scissors, delivering thread cutting scissors. Fu─mu.”

I guess I'll go with delivering sewing needles.

“Generally, you purchase sewing needles at the Blacksmith Guild or Engraving Guild and bring them here, but you are just going to make them here anyway, right?”
“How many times to the next level?”
“15 times. In other words, if you want to achieve this with just sewing needles, you'll need 150 sewing needles.”

Does that mean I need 10 for one request?
I don't know the market price of sewing needles, but since it's mostly an errand quest, the reward money will probably be small. At worst, it'll be a deficit. It doesn't matter to me though.

“I understand.”

Onee-san looked fed up, but let's not mind her and go on making sewing needles regardless.

I took out iron from the storage... is using iron okay?

“Is there a specified material for sewing needles?”
“There isn't. Iron, copper, or anything else is fine, but the reward money remains the same, so if you make them with gold, you'll be majorly in the red.”
“I see. By the way, would Onee-san be happy if I made them out of gold?”
“Eh? Well, that’s, I’d be happy enough to secretly embezzle them behind their back.”
“You can’t do anything bad, okay?”
“I'm just kidding. You're kidding, too, right?”
“Well, I wonder about that?”
“Geez, again?”

I took out a gold bar from Storage and showed them off to Onee-san.

“That’s, it's not real, right? It's just a toy, right? ...Hey? Why are you silent!?”

I activated my Alchemy Skill, stretched the gold bar I placed on the counter long and thin, cut them at the length of a sewing needle to create 150 pieces of them, and then I created thread holes and sharpened the needle tips, and the gold sewing needles were complete.

“Go ahead.”
“...They’re fakes, right? There's no way you have the real thing, right?”
“Why don't you use your Appraisal Skill to find out? That is, if you have it.”
“I have a magnifying glass for appraisals at least! I'll appraise it, okay? I'll do it, okay!?”
“Go ahead, go ahead.”

When Onee-san took out a magnifying glass for appraisal from the shelf behind the counter and appraised the sewing needles, her eyes widened so much that her eyeballs popped out, and her mouth hung open in shock. I want to throw an insect into her mouth to make her even more surprised.

Ah, the insect cage... I left it behind at the orphanage...?

“T-these, are real...!”
“I remembered something urgent, if you’ll excuse me.”
“Ha, eh?”
“Well then.”

I have to hurry back to the orphanage and collect the insect cage, it’ll be trouble if it gets sold to a merchant as a novelty.

“Wait!? What should I do with this?”

A loud voice called out to me from behind, but I don't have time to pay attention to Onee-san right now. Hurry, hurry!

CSA 67 - I Tried Working Seriously 2

“Threa─d, pull pull, threa─d, pull pull, pu─ll it, pu─ll it, boom boom boom.”
“That’s one weird song.”
“Dear threa─d, wind it up, wind it up, dear threa─d, wind it up, wind it up, mince it up, mince it up, again, again, and again.”
“...It’s really weird, you know?”

After that, I restored Alrina's Skills back, disguised the Skill section on her guild card, and right now, the two of us are currently working on the thread winding quest in the Sewing Guild's workshop.

It's a simple job of winding cotton or wool onto a large wooden bobbin using a spinning wheel, but if you wind it roughly, the thread will get tangled and you'll have to start over, so it can be quite nerve-wracking.

“So this one large bobbin gives 100 el... It's still easy because the spinning wheel is the type that you turn with your foot, but next time let’s take cotton delivery.”
“Ee─h, isn't this fun? I might be able to do this for the rest of my life.”
“Have you gotten hooked into it? After this winding is finished, I’m going to accept a request to deliver cotton, but what will Alrina do? Do you want to continue?”
“I think I’ll try doing 10 more.”
“You're perfectly hooked into this, aren't you? I'm going to the forest to get some cotton, but Alrina, please stay here.”
“I got it─.”

I took the one bobbin I finished winding to the receptionist onee-san and completed my request to wind the thread.

“We'll give you the bobbin you made to commemorate the completion of your first request. And here is your 100 el reward.”
“Thanks. About the next request, does the delivery of cotton include the roots?”
“Just the cotton is fine. If you bring more than the requested 100g, we'll purchase it for 1 el per gram.”
“I see, I understand.”
“Do your best.”

And so, I went to a deserted back alley and teleported to the forest.

“That’s what I wanted to do, but I already erased everything that could serve as a landmark... I guess I’ll run.”

I cast Stamina Recovery Magic on myself and ran to the forest without stopping. I feel like it's been a while since I've done any proper exercise.

“Fuu... magic is convenient after all.”

Having to run every time would be a pain, so I decided to go deep into the forest where no one else comes and build a hut that would serve as a landmark.

“Pan, don, zumomo.”

I'm just saying it, and I didn’t try to pose like a state alchemist.

I took out wood from Storage, placed it on the ground, used my Alchemy Skill to turn it into wood powder, and then built a secret base-style hut.
The problem with wood is that you cannot process it as freely as you can with clay using Alchemy Skill.
I wonder if a Woodworking Skill will drop somewhere?

Let's leave that for the distant future, I should look for cotton now.

I remembered a news story from my previous life that the sea had dried up due to cotton cultivation, so I thought that if I went to the river, I would see some growing there, but as I was walking towards the river, I found them growing normally on the roadside.

Even though they are growing, the amount is small, so I collect them and regenerate them using high fertilizer potion over and over again as usual.

I can't think of many uses for these, but collecting 1 ton should be okay.

*

“Yes, the request has been completed. Eh, twice? Um, your seamstress level has increased to 2. Congratulations.”
“Thanks.”

I gave the Sewing Guild onee-san 200g of cotton, enough to complete the cotton collection request twice, raising my seamstress level.
It seems the part where you can level up by completing level 1 requests three times is the same with the Sewing Guild.

I go to the workshop and take a quick look at Alrina, and it seems like she's still engrossed in the spinning wheel, so I go to check on the level 2 requests.

“Making cotton fabric, collecting wool, making handkerchiefs, making buttons. Fumu fumu.”

Making buttons seems the easiest.

“Make buttons that look like this sample button in a large, medium, or small size, and the request will be completed.”
“Then if I make 6 sets of that, can I level up?”
“Yes, but it’s harder to make than it looks, you know?”
“Piece of cake, Yocchan.”
“Yocchan? Who is that?”

* (T/N: that yocchan has no meaning, it’s just a meme.)

Moving everything to the workshop everytime is just a pain, so I'll just make them right in front of Onee-san.

I took out a wooden stick from my Storage Skill camouflaged as my stomach pocket, placed it on the counter, used Alchemy Skill to turn it into wood powder, and created 6 sets of large, medium and small buttons that looked exactly like the sample button.

“It’s done.”
“Eh, ah, yes. The request is completed, you have become a level 3 seamstress... wait, ee─h!? You can do that!?”
“Alchemy Skill is convenient, you know. If Onee-san has a chance to obtain them, please do so.”
“You don't get Skills that often!”
“You can get one if you pay with your money or your body, you know?”
“...You mean buying a magic item? I don't have that kind of money... and I don't want to pay with my body either... wait, what are you making me say!”
“Is that so? That's a shame.”
“Uuu, the reward is 600 el! Cheater, go check the request board now!”
“Cheater, you say... well, I'll still take a look though.”
“Shoo! Shoo!”

The receptionist has a bad attitude, huh. Isn't that why this place is in a slump?

Seeing an onee-san with a bad personality makes me want to bully her, but I resist the urge and go to see the next request.

“Sewing pockets, making accessory cases, delivering animal skins, making aprons, making T-shirts. Fumu fumu.”

I guess I’ll go with the T-shirts

“Make a T-shirt according to this sample, and the request will be completed. Fufun, you can’t use Alchemy Skill for this one!”
“I wonder about that.”
“What did you say?”

Just like before, I took out wood from Storage, turned it into wood powder, and processed it with Alchemy Skill to make it look exactly like the sample T-shirt. Since it is originally made of wood, its color is ivory, but let’s call that its charm.

I forgot to ask about the number of requests I need to complete before I can level up, but if I just make 10 of these, I should be able to raise my seamstress level.

“That's ten requests completed, right?”
“Gunununu, with the request completed 10 times, you have become a level 3 seamstress! Congratulations! Here is the reward of 10,000 el!”
“Thanks.”
“Go to the Alchemy Guild instead of this one!”

As I was putting away the reward money I received into Storage, Onee-san retorted at me, so this time, I’ll actually bully her. Gehehe.

“I don’t want to, because I want to see Onee-san’s face.”
“Eh, w-what are you saying all of a sudden... don't say something weird...”
“I don’t want to, because I want to see Onee-san’s lovely face!”
“Hau!? W-w-w-w-what are you saying!? I’d be in trouble if you suddenly said something like that!”
“I’m staying here because I want to see Onee-san's lovely, cute face!”
“Auauau... you-you-you-you-you-you, you’re teasing me, aren’t you!?”
“Onee-san is so cute! Onee-san is so beautiful! I love Onee-san so much!”
“...E, ehe, ehehe. More, say it more... praise me more, pamper me more... love me more...!!”

She has fallen.

“What are you doing?”
“Ada!? What, it’s just Alrina, huh?”
“As soon as I take my eyes off you, this happens!”
“Are you satisfied with winding threads?”
“I made 20 of them, so I’m satisfied. Will you please move away since you’re in the way of my report? Unfaithful Lotorl-san?”
“Praising onee-san is my purpose in life.”
“...If you want to praise someone, praise me...”
“Even if you only whispered that, I can hear it completely, it’ll be embarrassing-bohe!?”
“I'll hit you, okay?”

Even if you say that, you already punched me in the face...

Alrina physically restored Onee-san whose spirit had been broken by my bullying, and smiled with satisfaction as she received a reward of 2,000 el, an increase in her seamstress level and one bobbin for completing a request for the first time.

(T/N: changed ‘El’ to ‘el’. Apparently, you don’t capitalize currency. I just found out today.)

CSA 66 - The Age Was Wrong

After leaving the inn where Ruriko-san was staying, Lotorl’s group were currently at the Sewing Guild.

“This dress here is good, and this one is cute, hmm, I can’t decide...”
“Can’t you just buy both?”
“Really? Then I’d like both, please!”

As for why we are in the Sewing Guild, that’s because the Sewing Guild was across the street from the inn where Ruriko-san was staying, so Alrina, who has Sewing Skill, became interested.

That’s her official stance, she probably just genuinely wanted cute clothes.

“Well then, that’s enough with shopping, shall we go check out the quests?”
“Ahaha, I’m sorry I got distracted.”
“If it makes Alrina smile, that's the best.”
“Lotorl... (Kyun)”

Let's leave Alrina who will go kyun-kyun to anyone with money even if it’s not me alone and take a look at the request board.

“The requests you can accept at level 1 never change, do they?”

The requests are the same as the last time I came here, so should we try winding the thread for now?

“Ah, that’s right. Alrina-san, Alrina-san.”
“What is it, what is it?”
“Would you like to register in this guild?”
“I’d love to!”
“Okay, then I’ll remove your Skills temporarily, so let me borrow your hand.”
“Here.”

I took Alrina's right hand and activated Paralysis Magic and Silence Magic.

“Please look at the ceiling for a bit.”
“...?”

Alrina did as I told her, and looked up at the ceiling, so I quickly turned Alrina's little finger into a potion, took out a mega potion from Storage and sprinkled it on it to regenerate it.
After that, I cancel the magic and use Compounding Skill to remove everything except Sewing Skill, and it’s done.

“It’s okay now.”
“Is there something on the ceiling?”
“No, there’s nothing. I just thought you'd go crazy if you looked down.”
“Go crazy? What did you do...?”
“I just made a potion out of your little finger, so?”
“...Hey, Lotorl. Is it okay if I hit you? It’s okay, right?”
“By the way, this is Alrina potion. And this is appraisal ring.”

I took out the appraisal ring from Storage and put it onto Alrina's finger and let her appraise the potion.

“Umm, Alrina's Blood Potion. That’s my name... By using this potion, you can obtain the Skills that Alrina had. It's amazing. You can obtain part of Alrina's memories. Ee─h, no wa─y. You will become Alrina's follower. Isn't a follower something like a slave?”

After the appraisal was completed and I received the ring and potion back, I used Compounding Skill to remove the follower effect from the Alrina potion, just in case.
I don't think anything will happen if it’s used on herself, but I’d be troubled if Alrina suddenly turned into a vampire or something.

“With that being the case, once you've registered with the guild, you will either drink the potion or I liquefy and synthesize it, and then I'll disguise the Skill section on your guild card.”
“It’s bothersome, isn’t it?”
“This is so we don't get dragged into even more bothersome things.”
“Living in this world, is so hard...”
“There are people who will do anything for their own gain. We must always be careful.”

‘You said that inside the guild, so aren’t you going to get in trouble?’ to people who are worried about us and are about to say that, don't worry, the guild is deserted and only us and the guild staff onee-san are here.
That guild staff onee-san also has no skills other than Sewing, so it's safe and secure.

“Guild registration please!”
“A new member, is it? Then, please hold out your hand over here. Okay, registration is complete. Please be aware that there will be a fee for reissuing your card. Well then, have a good seamstress life!”

It seems that the guild registration has been completed successfully, and Alrina comes while excitedly showing off her guild card. How charming.

Aisha, human, female, 15 years old, seamstress level 1.

“Nn?”
“What is it, what is it, is there something strange there?”
“No, your name.”
“Name? Aah...”

The name written in the name section of Alrina's guild card isn’t Alrina, it’s Aisha instead.
In other words, Alrina is not nameless, but was named before I named her...

“So, I was... Aisha, but that's... after all this time... it's terrible...”
“Aisha-chan...”
“...Wouldn’t people normally call me Alrina there?”
“I think Aisha is cuter than Alrina, you know.”
“...Thank you, but my name is Alrina, because Alrina is what Lotorl named me...”
“Then how about we do it like this. From today onwards, Alrina will be renamed Alrina Aisha.”
“...That sounds like a noble’s name. But I'm glad you care about me. Thank you, Lotorl.”

She hugged me tightly, so I patted her on the back.

“Anyway, so you're 15 years old... a 15-year-olds with the same figure as a 10-year-olds... That's crazy.”

The difference in age by 2 years suggests that the orphanage where Alrina lived was quite a black place.

“You say that now?”

Alrina's hug became stronger.

“Owowow, I'm going to make some good potions, please forgive me.”
“Then I forgive you.”
“I’m thankful and happy.”

The case where Alrina's real name was inadvertently revealed and she suffered mentally was, as usual, turned into a farce. I don't like serious atmospheres. It's fine now, but these kinds of things usually come back in the future, so as Alrina's family, I hope I can continue to follow up on her in the future.

CSA 65 - I Was Caught

“Thank you very much for your help. Goodbye!”
“Come back anytime with your donation! I'll be waiting!”

Like hell I’ll come here again! Peh peh!

“See you Lotorl-chan! Alrina-chan too!”
“Lefie! Let's meet again somewhere!”
“See you, Leffie-chan!”

The only people who see me off are the blonde gorilla and Lefie, not only because I am too unpopular, but also because it's not uncommon for kids to return after graduation.

I can feel multiple eyes on me from the orphanage window, but I can only feel the emotion of “The heck, just garbage bugs huh?” coming from them.

Anyway, now that I've managed to escape from the hellish orphanage, this time for sure, it's time to teleport to Lycorus country.

“This is Lotorl’s hometown, right?”
“That's true, but we can't go sightseeing or anything like that, okay? There's a possibility that the officials noticed my abilities and are following me.”
“I see... that's a bit disappointing.”

Could you please stop looking actually disappointed? Because it makes my heart buzz.
Or rather, when I think about it, I feel like there's no need to run away anymore, but is it just my imagination?

There's no way that Super Lotorl-chan who has acquired an almost invincible body will be defeated by the monsters and thugs around me, and I should be able to beat that slut erofu to a pulp as well!

When I thought that, I started to feel like ‘fuck it’!

“On second thought, let's go sightseeing before going back to Lucorus country. After all, I feel like I can defeat any opponent right now.”
“Yatta! But don't push yourself too hard, okay? When it’s time to run away, you can run as soon as you can, okay?”
“Yes, of course.”

For the time being, there's a long way from the orphanage to the city, so let's teleport to the iron hut I made before.

“Outside is... there’s no one.”

I peek outside through the air hole to make sure no one is there, then teleport out of the hut.

“So Lotorl has been making weird stuff for ages.”
“Having a teleportation base is convenient after all.”

When we arrived at the city, Alrina got excited and said “Wow” over and over as she looked around the city, and no matter how you look at her, she looked like a country bumpkin who had just visited the city for the first time, and I smiled as I watched over her.

“So this is Lotorl's hometown, it's a wonderful place!”
“Compared to something like Lycorus country, this is quite rural though.”
“I like the atmosphere of this city. This is the kind of city I want to live in.”

Personally, I don't think this is a city I can recommend much, but I'm honestly happy that Alrina said she wanted to live here.

“Now then, let's go around the shops next!”
“Don't waste your money.”
“Ugh, I know!”

We entered a nearby general store, looked around at the tableware and furniture with designs unique to this region, bought a cup with a cat ear design that Alrina said she liked, and left the store.

“Ehehe, so cute.”

Alrina-san headed to the next store while staring intently at the cat-eared cup she just bought.
It's not like she was using her phone while walking, but it's dangerous to not look ahead when walking, so I want to warn her, but I kind of feel bad about interrupting her when she looks so happy.

Well, as long as I walk while paying attention, I'm sure it'll be fine.
I walk a little closer to Alrina so that I can support her if she is about to fall.

“I'll strengthen it later so it doesn't break.”
“Eh, okay...?”

What’s with those eyes? I won't give it any weird modifications, okay? It’s true, you know?

*

“Found you.”

Killing intent!?

“Foundyoufoundyoufoundyou! Ahahaha! I finally found you!”

Teleport...! No, we’re in the middle of the city, it’ll be too conspicuous...! Escape...! Take Alrina and escape to safety!? Impossible!! Then! I'll face them head on!

“If you're going to come, come! I’ll show you!”
“Lotorl?”
“I caught you.”
“Wha-!?”
“Eh? Eh?”

Impossible!? Where did they come from?? Teleport?? No, I’d have felt their presence, so it must be a stealth-type Skill!

Damn, to think I’d let them get behind my back so easily! What a failure!
In the first place, I've never fought a PvP before, so I shouldn't have chosen to fight, but Lotorl is so stupid, stupid, stupid!

“Uhihi, I caught Lotorl-chan!”
“Kuh, let go!”
“Lotorl!”
“Come now! I'll have you synthesize Skills with me just like you did with Daigen!”
“Heh?”
“Nn─?”

When I looked behind me, I saw an onee-san wearing slightly revealing light gear who was often drinking with people like Shishido-san and Daigen-san. I don't know her name.

“Daigen, that guy suddenly started flying in the sky, and when I questioned him, he said he bought the skill from Lotorl-chan. I’ve been looking for you since then, you know?”
“Haah, please don't surprise me. Umm, the onee-san who I know but don't know your name.”
“Ara? I haven't told you my name, haven’t I? My name is Ruriko. Nice to meet you again.”
“What does this mean?”

I explained it in a way that even the stunned Alrina could understand, and then we reintroduced ourselves.

“My name is Ruriko, I was hit on by Lotorl-chan before. Nice to meet you.”
“My name is Alrina, Lotorl saved my life and then made me her big sister. Nice to meet you too.”
“Couldn’t you guys introduce yourself a little more normally?”
“Ufufu.”
“Fufuh.”

What's with that smile, Lotorl doesn't know.

Now that the introduction is finished safely (?), let's move on to the main topic. If I start imagining the relationship between the two of them, my anxiety will pile up, so let’s try not to think about it.

“Doing it at our usual hangout will be a problem, right? Can we use the inn that I usually use?”
“That’s fine.”

Ruriko-san headed to the inn where she regularly stays, and invited us to a room on the second floor that was well-lit by sunlight, after which, she immediately write out a list of Skills she wanted on a piece of paper and asked me to write down the price for each Skill, so I wrote down the price randomly.

“Flight Skill is 2 million El, Swordsmanship Skill is 1 million El, Storage Skill is 2 million El, Flame Skill is 500,000 El, Appraisal Skill is 1 million El, Sewing Skill and Cooking Skill are free... Eh, free!?”
“If it’s housework-type Skills, I can give it out for free. People often make fun of others just because they can't do housework, right? So I may or may not have a dream that all mankind should have housework Skills.”
“Which one is it? But if you're giving it to me for free, I'd appreciate it. And while you're at it, can you give me a discount or something?”
“A discount, is it? Hmm... If you say you’ll let me do whatever I want with Ruriko-san's body, I'll think about it.”
“...Lotorlll?”

Although Alrina's gaze hurt, Lotorl thought that there was no way she would miss this golden opportunity.

“That’s, do you mean it in a lewd way?”
“That's what it means. Ouch!? Alrina-san, calm down!”

To be frank, Alrina, who softly hits me on the head while smiling silently, is scary. Let's put her to sleep using Sleep here.

“Rest, in peace...”
“Kuh... when I wake up... you better remember this... zzZ.”
“Eeh... is it okay to do something like this?”
“It’s fine, it's fine, she'll be in a better mood as soon as I give her some jewelry or something.”
“O-okay. Onee-san is glad to know that you're that kind of person...”

Now that the hindrance has gone to sleep, we can resume business negotiations.
Next time I do something like this, let’s give Alrina some money and have her do some sightseeing around the city.

“So, about the discount, what will you do?”
“Um, can I ask you what exactly you’re going to do?”
“That's right. First, I'll rub your breasts. Then your legs. Your butt. Your upper arms might be good too. In other words, it's like a full body massage. Maybe it'll hurt too?”
“Wha─t? If it’s just that, it’s totally okay. In fact, I'd ask you to do it every day.”
“So, now that the negotiations have been concluded, how much of a discount do you want?”
“Let me think. 3 million El in total for all the Skills on that list, I guess that’s too much. How about 5 million El?"
“3 million El is fine.”
“Really!? Yatta! Thank you Lotorl-chan!"

Ruriko-san was so happy that she grabbed both of my hands and shook them up and down to express her gratitude. I feel like my arm is going to fall off.

“Can I see the Skills that Ruriko-san has before synthesizing the Skills into you?”
“Go ahead, go ahead.”
“Well then, if you’ll excuse me.”

I activated Appraisal Skill and a list of Ruriko's Skills was displayed.

Concealment Skill level 53, Fishing Skill level 21, Literary Skill level 2, Sever Sight Skill level 60.

As expected, it’s there, Concealment Skill.
She even has Sight Sever Skill, so even if she is about to be spotted, she can avoid the enemy's line of sight, so I think she is suitable for assassinations.

“Fumu fumu, you have quite good Skills.”
“Really? I think they’re good for running away from enemies, but it's completely useless when it comes to fighting.”
“Nn─? Wouldn’t you be invincible if you use your Concealment Skill to target enemies’ vital points from behind?”
“Haha, it's fine against two or three, but any more than that and my weapons won't hold.”
“Then you should buy good weapons there.”
“Good cosmetics rather than good weapons!”

I see. She's the type of person who'll lose her life because she's stingy with equipment costs, huh?

“Ruriko-san.”
“What is it?”
“You should stop being an adventurer and become a fisherman instead. Your calling is to be a fisherman. There's no doubt about it.”
“Ee─h!? You can't just suddenly say that to me!!”
“Literary Skill aside, with your Skills being Concealment Skill, Sight Sever Skill, and Fishing Skill, I can’t help but think that being a fisherman is your calling. Ruriko-san was born to fish!”
“W-what did you saa─y?!”
“If you swear here that you will change your job to a fisherman, I will synthesize the Skills that a fisherman needs into you for free!”
“Free!?”
“What will you do? You have 10 seconds to decide. 10, 9, 8765432...”
“So quick!? I’ll do it! I’ll become a fisherman!!”
“Very good.”

Although I half-forced her, I judged that it would be much better for her to become a fisherman than to continue being an adventurer and end up dying.
Considering Ruriko-san's Skill composition, I do think being a fisherman is really her calling anyway.

“Haa... I said that I'd become a fisherman because Lotorl-chan was hurrying me, but do I really have to become a fisherman?”
“I think you’ll be able to earn more money than if you continue to be an adventurer, you know?”
“R-really? I guess it’s okay then?”
“If it’s Ruriko-san, I’m sure you'll catch high-class fishes one after another and become a millionaire in no time! There's no doubt about it!”
“A millionaire, huh... I kinda feel like I can do it now!”
“Now then, let's synthesize Skills into you right away.”
“I'll be in your care!”

First, let's synthesize the Skills that Ruriko-san wanted.

From my stomach pocket Storage, I took out, wait there's no need for a pretense in front of  Ruriko-san
I stuck my hand out into the space in front of me and took out grapes with various Skills from Storage.

“Grapes?”
“Yes, it's convenient for mass producing and producing Skills.”

Ruriko-san seemed to be stunned, her mouth hung wide open.
There's no need to force myself to explain it to her, so let’s just enjoy her funny faces.

One by one, I made Ruriko-san hold grapes with Flight Skill, Swordsmanship Skill, Storage Skill, Flame Skill, Appraisal Skill, Sewing Skill, and Cooking Skill, used Alchemy Skill to liquefy them and then synthesized them into her. Of course, the synthesized Skills are at level 1.

“It disappeared though?”
“Please look at your card.”
“Okay?”

When Ruriko-san took out the card from her chest (I wonder where she kept it), she was so surprised that her eyes popped out, and then she grabbed my hands again, and started swinging them up and down, left and right. They’re going to come off!

“Amazing! This is amazing! Lotorl-chan! No one else but Lotorl-chan can do something like this!!”
“P-please calm down. They’re going to come off, they’ll come off.”

Of course, my body made of aero adamantite won't come off, but it's a matter of feeling.

“Ah, sorry. But this is really amazing! But is this really free?”
“It’s fine. I'll give Ruriko-san a full body massage on a day that's convenient for me.”
“Isn’t that just too convenient for me?”
“There aren't many opportunities to legally touch a woman's body, so it’s not a problem.”
“...If Lotorl-chan is okay with that, then it’s fine.”

‘This girl really likes women, huh’ I could read this emotion from Ruriko-san's expression. Was I a Newtype after all?

“Ah, of course I’d like you to be completely naked when I give you a massage, okay?”
“Ah, okay. Please be gentle...”

After that, I synthesized into her Mental Strength Skill necessary for a fisherman, Concentration Skill, Tenacity Skill, Stamina Skill, Muscle Strength Skill, Vision Skill, Hearing Skill, Technical Skill, Poison Resistance Skill, Paralysis Resistance Skill, Sleep Resistance Skill, Stun Resistance Skill, Fatigue Resistance Skill, Pain Resistance Skill, Item Drop Rate Skill, Quality Skill, Water Quality skills, Luck Skill, Work Luck Skill, Health Luck Skill, and more, and she then said, “I can't show these to anyone.” So I disguised the skill section on her guild card with Disguise Magic.

“If someone sees me with Appraisal Skill, I’ll be out in one shot, you know.”
“That’s, I don’t know.”

Now that I've more or less finished synthesizing the Skills to Ruriko-san, next is the fishing rod.
I took out an aero adamantite fishing rod from Storage and gave it to Ruriko-san.

“Fishing rod?”
“This is a fishing rod that I made that is almost unbreakable. When I say almost unbreakable, it means that I can break it, so you don't have to worry about it.”
“O-okay. I understand that this is an amazing fishing rod. Thank you.”
“Please test your Storage Skill now.”
“Y-yes. I’ll try it.”

When Ruriko-san shoved the fishing rod I handed her into the air, it completely disappeared. I'm glad that the Storage skill seems to have activated properly.

“This is really convenient.”
“If you keep the fish you catch in Storage, they won't spoil. If you keep them in there too long, they will die, though.”
“I see... so living things are no good.”
“If you have an item box that stops time, you’ll be able to carry even living creatures though.”
“If I had a mythical-class item box like that, I could play around for the rest of my life with just that.”
“I suppose so...?”

I felt like something was about to come to me right now, but is it just my imagination?

No, it can't be just my imagination!

Come on, my brain cells! Pop, synapses! If it were me, everything would be a piece of cake!

“I see it!”
“Eh!? What!?”

Using Universal Magic Skill, time stop item box magic, activate!

Time stop item box magic cannot be activated because it is a super-class magic. I felt like I heard that announcement in my head.

“Gueh.”
“What's wrong with you since a minute ago?”
“I'm sorry. Please don't worry about it...”
“It's not an attack of a chronic disease, is it?”
“It's totally different, so I'm fine.”
“I see, that's fine then.”

To think she’d be worried even though my behavior is suspicious, Ruriko-san is a good person.
It's not good to cause unnecessary worry, so let’s be moderate in acting flashy in public next time. Let's do that.

“Well, now that we've finished the Skills synthesis, it's time to wake up Alrina and give her some jewels as an apology.”
“Ara, how about the matter of massaging me?”
“...How about tonight?”
“Fufu, then I'm looking forward to tonight, okay?”
“Hehe, me too.”

And so, I woke Alrina up with Awakening Magic, and I received cheeks pulling attacks, but when I immediately presented her with a jewel, she quickly recovered her mood, what an easy older sister, so Lotorl thought.
