(EP-32.2) Pride #1

032 – Pride Of The Beast #1

This wasn’t really my intention, but it still felt pretty good when my experience points went up. Was this also considered skinship?

“Anyway, here it is. I took a peek here before!”

The place Elga guided me to was a common adventurer’s inn that doubled as a tavern on the 1st floor and an inn on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

Should I say that it reminded me of the「Nymph’s Ditch」?

━I will sacrifice five pawns to summon the Obelisk’s Giant Pawn. With this, your Knight is annihilated!

━Huieek!

There were already many customers on the first floor. Some were dueling in card games, playing chess, drinking alcohol, or singing merry songs.

I frowned as this chaotic atmosphere did not fit the image of the Lioness Family’s Young Lady.

But when Elga saw it, she actually smiled while revealing her fangs. Elga even laughed as if she was very excited.

“Okay, there are a lot of customers. It means that this place is a hidden gem!”

She then entered the tavern with the sharp sound of her glass shoes.

At Elga’s appearance, I could feel the drunkards’ eyes turning to us in an instant.

━Hey, look. Who is she? Has there ever been such a pretty girl around here?

━I don’t know. She looks like the daughter of a Noble Family… Wait, no. Why would the daughter of an aristocrat come here? Perhaps, she’s a high-class courtesan? There’s also a servant next to her!

━Then, could it be Mirna Draco? I’ve been told that the only daughter of the Draco Family would come to Gracia….

The sudden appearance of a beauty would drive all kinds of gazes and speculations.

I also felt this when I was traveling with Aira. Those dazzling women kept on attracting more attention than necessary. And, everyone always took me for a servant!

A man and a woman went together, but no one thought they were lovers?

This actually made me feel a bit resentful…

“Here, please take a seat-!”

Guided by the cheerful waiter, Elga and I sat down on the table.

Despite being rubbed clean with a cloth, it was still a little bit slippery because of some leftover oil.

“Here’s the menu, you can call me once you’ve picked your likings!”

Looking at the menu, the most expensive food here was pork for 10 copper coins.

5 copper coins for stew. 3 copper coins for beer. This kinda reminded me of those cheap shops near the University in many ways…

“What would be good? I’m not good at picking things-.”

I watched Elga peer through the wooden menu board. Finally, I couldn’t stand it any longer and said.

“I didn’t expect Elga-nim to eat these types of commoners’ food.”

“What, you think I’m gonna sip wine, cut my meat with a knife, and wipe my mouth with a handkerchief?”

“Actually, yes. After all, Elga-nim is a Young Lady from a large family. Luxurious things usually pair with you….”

“Well, that’s also true. Of course, I can’t really blame you for thinking that way. My noble elegance can be misleading, after all!”

Usually, people saying something like that would look arrogant, yet this wasn’t the case with Elga. Rather, she was actually as elegant as her claim.

“But, there were many times when I had to eat tasteless jerky while on expeditions. This place is a hotel if you compare it to a battlefield full of corpses.”

Oh, right.

She was in the army.

Anywhere would be better when compared to the battlefield…

In the end, Elga ordered some meat cooked on a hot stone plate, which she took a slice from and ate.

It was a dish similar to thick pork belly. It was sizzling with juices and tasted better than expected.

The juicy meat was cut into large chunks before getting dipped in a sauce similar to ssamjang, which was delicious. The cuisine of Gracia was indeed appetizing!

After eating two bowls, Elga ordered another one.

Where did all that food go?

Her chest?

Seureureu-.

Naturally, my eyes turned towards Elga’s chest.

Despite being covered by a dress, yesterday’s licking and sucking made me feel hot just looking at it.

If only I had the time to appreciate it more deeply…

It was really cute and nymph-friendly…. No, what even was ‘nymph-friendly’? Why was I thinking this way?

Soon, I let go of these nymph-thoughts and came to my senses.

After emptying the bowl, Elga got up from her seat. She wiped the oil off her lips with her fingertips.

“Alright, let’s go!”

“Are we going shopping again? Do you have more items to buy?”

“No, I’m done shopping. Rather, didn’t I promise you? Since you followed my orders well today, I’ll give you a reward~.”

“Ah-.”

“Boss, do you have a room upstairs?”

Elga then skillfully rented a room from the inn owner, which was quite expected. The room was located in the corner of the second floor. It had a wardrobe, a table, a chair, a window….

No, wait, I didn’t actually care about those furniture. My attention was on the large bed that could accommodate two people. The duvet even looked like it had just been washed…

Being alone with a woman in a room like this made me nervous.

Seureuk.

Elga took off the white lion’s bristle cap and hung it in the corner.

She then tied her hair back with both arms behind her head.

Seueuk, seueuk.

Thanks to this, Elga’s smooth and white armpits entered my sight.

If I did well, would I be able to touch her ƅreasts again?

No matter how much I thought about it, that was indeed a very nymph-friendly, beautiful chest.

I was craving it so badly!

「What a very nymph-like idea…!

Gained job experience for ‘Half-Fairy’…! +50」

「Job: Half-Fairy +1 Level…!

Half-Fairy Lv. 3 → Lv. 4

You can do more nymph-like behaviors and ways of thinking…!」

Seriously, what was this Half-Fairy thing? Its experience points just kept shooting up from time to time.

Nevertheless, it should be good to have more experience points, right?

Anyway, if I did well, I could see those soft marshmallows again— At least, I was expecting so.

However, Elga’s blue eyes narrowed like a beast hunting for prey. What she said next was a bit different from my thought.

“Theo Gospel, no matter how much I think about it, this doesn’t seem fair to me. As the eldest daughter of the Lioness family, it feels a bit humiliating that I had to be the one showing myself to you.”

“What are you trying to say?”

Hearing this, Elga’s eyes narrowed even further…
