Three days have passed since I returned from the dungeon.
On the day of my return, I was worried that Lisbeth would find out I'd assigned Klea to satisfy my sexual needs, but fortunately, her reaction hadn't changed significantly.
In fact, after she played "lover mode" every night, she became even more clingy... If she'd been exposed, things would have been different. Apparently, I'd been overthinking it.
Lisbeth's reaction reassured me somewhat. Over the past three days, I'd spent many pleasant nights with her, and I'd also allowed Klea to satisfy her sexual needs, enjoying a rather peaceful time.
It's Lisbeth's birthday today, and going out on business is quite inconvenient... More importantly, the guild administration sent Ars and Lisbeth some good news.
During the guild's internal evaluation, they were both finally released from their "newbie" status.
Although some concerns still remain, and the guild only has two members left, as recognized key adventurers, they will be able to complete dungeons and quests, and will also receive new benefits.
Seeing them both happy, my mood involuntarily improved. Ars, cheerfully, said that the upcoming dungeons and quests would be quite challenging, and he needed a few days to think it over, so he suggested we take a break.
However, today, during the break… Ars excused himself, saying he needed to discuss something with Lisbeth, so they would have dinner together and return later.
Judging by his sincerely apologetic expression, he sensed something… Was he planning to confess or do something today?
I tried to remain calm, told him to be careful on the road, and then replied that I was going to Leona's shop to pick up a gift. I bought a rather sexy babydoll dress in Lisbeth's size.
The size suited me, because I know Lisbeth's body well... but for some reason, Leona blushed and looked at me, asking who I was going to give it to. I vaguely but thoroughly satisfied her before returning.
It's evening now... almost time for Lisbeth and Ars to return.
Perhaps... they'll stay the night?
What will Lisbeth do, who seems to be crazy about me...? I try to remain calm, but I'm a little nervous.
...And so I waited for about 30 minutes, pacing nervously around the room.
Although I'm one of those who doesn't mind if a woman I like brings her lover... Lisbeth was the first woman I ever chose, and a pure soul who never accepted any other male into her ranks besides me.
Now that it had come to that, I felt a little uneasy at the thought of another man touching her. Should I have insisted on going with her? While I was pacing back and forth, pondering this, a knock came from the quiet room.
And sure enough! I ran to open the door, and there stood Lisbeth, her face flushed, looking at me.
But on the ring finger of Lisbeth's left hand… I saw a ring I'd never seen before.
"Are you here? Looks like you just had dinner?"
"...Yes." Seeing the ring, I was a little taken aback, but I didn't show it. I grabbed the clothes I'd bought today and went to Lisbeth's room.
"I heard Ars say something to Lisbeth today... What was it?"
"..." Lisbeth blushed and hesitated for a moment after my question before finally speaking.
"...Ars proposed... He said that now that he's no longer a rookie in adventures, he'll save up for a year or two, and then we'll get married..."
For some reason, the ring on Lisbeth's hand seemed to glow. This Ars... he really did propose like that.
I've been haunted by a vague feeling of unease before... Maybe it's because I trusted Ars too much, like a eunuch?
Perhaps it's because they're both still too young, and I've been too careless. I should have considered that their marriageable age might be different from now.
...Hm?
But on the day of the proposal... and on Lisbeth's special birthday, she only had dinner and came back?
A couple in love?
"Um... Ars asked if I wanted to stay the night... but I said I wasn't feeling well and declined, so I came right back..." Lisbeth continued, as if answering my question.
Really?
So, she's back already?
Liz is even more in love with me than I imagined?
I never expected her to turn down the opportunity to spend her first night with her lover after his offer to come find me... I was a little taken aback, but quickly became overwhelmed with satisfaction, and a smile involuntarily appeared on my lips.
Wasn't it wonderful that she traded her first night with her lover for the chance to find me?
"And you just found me like this... I'm going to have to satisfy you properly tonight, aren't I?"
"...Um... first, I want to ask you something..."
"Hm? What?" she said, adding that she wanted to ask something.
What suddenly happened?
"...Um... what's your relationship like with Miss Claire...?" At that moment, the sound of the door closing flashed through my mind.
I'm not far from the door I heard the day I returned from the dungeon.
At the same time, a feeling of tension spread throughout my body, as if I were breaking out in a cold sweat.
Could she have noticed it?
Was that really the sound of a door closing, Lisbeth?
Did she hear the noise at my door and quickly hide inside?
And if she'd already noticed, why didn't she just ask directly, waiting for Ars to propose to me before bringing it up…
I need to answer properly. As if I were faced with an irreversible, decisive choice.
"...Liz. Let's talk about this first. I told you I have a very high libido, right?"
"Huh? Oh, uh…" Lisbeth's expression was puzzled, as if she were asking, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Actually, before I met Lisbeth, I only thought about survival, so I didn't understand... After my safety was guaranteed, and after I used this guy's services several times, he gets an erection several times a day."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lisbeth blushed slightly and glanced at my lower body.
"Thanks to Liz, even though I'm barely holding on... I still get hot sometimes."
That's not a lie. Even though this body is mine, from a certain point on, I've felt my sex drive spiraling out of control from time to time.
Compared to my body on Earth, I now get erections constantly, as if I were taking Viagra... If it weren't for Lisbeth, I probably would have spent all my money on brothels.
Or maybe I would have just grabbed any woman and raped her because I couldn't control my excessive sex drive.
"Because of the one-per-day limit, I'm sorry to bother Lisbeth again... and I promised not to go to brothels... I can't satisfy myself with my hand..."
"..." I muttered, watching Lisbeth's expression.
Seeing her quietly listening with a shy expression, she didn't seem angry...
"As my desire grew, I didn't know what to do, and I felt awkward bothering Lisbeth again, so I turned to Claire for help."
"...So... you and Miss Claire aren't dating, are you?" Calling it dating? Claire wasn't quite right.
More like she was cooperating under duress.
And most importantly, if I were dating girls I liked... I would at least ask them to swear allegiance to me first.
"We're not dating. Claire is a nun, right? It feels like she's just pitying me, and pitying me. There wasn't even any sexual contact."
"Ah, I see. So, Miss Claire and I don't have a special relationship."
Speaking of special, it's... well, not yet. Although it is a forced pity. "...Um, I mean..."
Lisbeth blushed, lowered her head, and said, "Lift the once-a-day limit... uh, I can handle all of Semo's sexual desires myself... is that okay?"
...Hm?
What did you just say?
No, I was actually planning to test the once-a-day limit.
After all, Lisbeth has practically become my woman at night now. I had a feeling that given the right opportunity, she would succumb to temptation, but that opportunity was to discover that I had relationships with other women besides her?
I think Lisbeth's sexual desires exceed my imagination.
Right now, I just hope I can get away with this... Perhaps there's a difference between my common sense and Eisendia's?
Even though I thought we were close to moving forward, this situation was truly unexpected... no, still, Lisbeth's proposal...
This was definitely exactly the situation I'd been dreaming of.
So...
"...Liz. Seriously?"
When I asked, Lisbeth lowered her head and nodded softly, then said in a trembling, shy voice,
"Well... I know Shimo has a very strong sex drive... so... if I could satisfy all of Shimo's desires..." Lisbeth, lowering her head, glanced at me furtively and said, "Other women... then we won't have to see each other anymore, right?" Faced with Lisbeth's unexpectedly charming jealousy, I mentally clapped my hands in admiration.
