Chun chun, Chun chun…
On a morning filled with the chirping of little birds, I was naked in bed, covering my face with both hands… and crying.
(They took it… my first time… all sorts of things… it was my first time… ughhhh…)
Pathetically, I was unilaterally violated. Trembling as I recalled it, I must have been a small man even more so than I looked. While with my former fiancés, I had hesitated to even hold their hands, let alone cross any lines!
(We went all the way, no, I was taken all the way… I can’t go back… sob…)
I flinched at the large figure returning from the bathroom. With a bath towel draped around her neck, she approached me without hiding her beautiful physique. I can’t look, I’m too embarrassed, and I definitely can’t show her my tear-streaked face!
“I’m sorry about… everything.”
“Y-yes…”
“First, drink this and calm down.”
She gently handed me a cup of black tea. It smelled delicious. I sat up and drank. I should try not to notice Nina-san starting to put on her underwear during this time.
“It’s late to say this, but I apologize for taking your first time, half-forcibly.”
No, more like eighty percent was a reverse rape… It’s pathetic to hear a man say he was taken while being on the receiving end, I should try not to think about my purity or I’ll sound like a maiden.
“If you truly felt bad about it, please forget it with this.”
She conjured the entrance to the Item Box, a basic skill of a hero, and reached in, producing a jangling pile of gold coins. There were about fifty, which were dropped onto the bed.
“This is compensation. Just think of it like being bitten by a female werewolf and forget about it. You can even slap me and leave if you want.”
“N-no! Well, about twenty percent was consensual, and I wasn’t entirely unhappy…”
“And what?”
“Well, if I had truly hated it, I would have run away. But after thinking about it, in the end, I… accepted it.”
“That’s good. So it was consensual. In that case, this is no longer needed.”
Nina-san began collecting the gold coins, but ten remained. Then she started dropping silver coins on top of them.
“First, this is ten gold coins for the inn fee, then ten silver coins I gave to the receptionist, and finally, the meal cost at the Adventurer Guild’s bar, fifty-one silver coins for both of us.”
She has a surprisingly good memory, even though I was drunk!
“U-um, my share…”
“Allow me to offer a reward of that much. It would tarnish the name of a former knight.”
“R-right.”
A reward, huh? She means for carrying me back when I was drunk. I don’t recall becoming a male prostitute!
“So, I have something I want to talk to you about again.”
She climbed onto the bed, still in her black underwear, and leaned in.
“I became an adventurer yesterday. So, right away, would you consider forming a party together?”
“Huh? With you, Nina-san?!”
“Yes, I believe this is fate. Rather, I consider it a fateful encounter. In a word, it’s destiny.”
She’s starting to say heavy things. I thought, looking at her large body. Even looking again, her impossibly gifted body was superb in many ways. No, I’m getting embarrassed just staring at her. I averted my gaze.
“Um, I’m a porter. You have the Adventurer’s Item Box, so you probably don’t need me.”
“Is that so? I believe about thirty to forty percent of S-rank hero parties have porters who assist the hero during combat.”
“Y-you know a lot.”
It’s true that when there’s a hero fighting on the front lines, and the cleric’s healing struggles to keep up, or the magician runs out of magic power, a porter who can assist with items is necessary. There are also legendary, highly intelligent, strategist-like porters. Conversely, in the worst-case scenario, the porters for such high-level heroes are just general errand boys, or in some terrible places, they’re treated like disposable slaves, so there are prejudices.
“If you need one, I’ll hire you. You can name your own wages.”
“N-no, well, I don’t know if I’ll be in a position to serve you, but if it’s as a companion, then…”
“Hmm, then for now, let’s try forming one today.”
Nina-san gently placed her hand on my head and patted it lightly.
“Starting today?”
“Yes, it’s to earn funds and prepare you for the porter exam. Also, I want you to observe my fighting style and decide if we can team up.”
“R-right, we don’t know anything about each other yet.”
Except for last night! I don’t mean what happened in bed!
“I’m glad you’re reacting positively. Then, go take a bath.”
“R-right, I’ll be going then…”
“Perhaps I should carry you like a princess?”
“N-no! I-I’m fine!!”
“Don’t fall. You have good athletic ability, so you should be fine.”
I fled to the bathroom and took a shower, still naked. Since I’m here, I might as well soak in the hot water… the bath that Nina-san was just in… Last night was intense. I was devoured. I never expected to be loved by such a person, or rather, that’s rude. To be loved by a great female hero like Nina-san… Scars still remain on my body. Why is it, I feel a slight apologetic feeling towards my fiancés who abandoned me… even though I was the one betrayed…
(Yeah, this… this incident is telling me to move on.)
After enjoying the bath, I dried myself off and put on underwear taken from the Item Box, then a bath robe provided in the changing room. Since I checked into such a luxurious inn, I want to indulge in the glamour for a little longer. The most glamorous thing was Nina-san’s body, though! Returning to the living area, a lavish breakfast was laid out. The maids were just leaving.
“Wow, there’s so much high-class salad and fruit.”
“You said you don’t eat much meat, so I asked them to prepare a breakfast like this for you.”
“Conversely, yours is a meat paradise, Nina-san.”
While eating, I asked about something that had been bothering me, something I couldn’t ask yesterday.
“Um, why didn’t you return to your family home?”
“Ah, regarding the Mishuron Family. The only one I truly considered family was my grandfather.”
“You didn’t have a good relationship with your parents, then?”
“I have some feelings about my younger sister and brother, but I’ve abandoned that place. They only saw me as a tool, a hero.”
She ate the double steak with a lonely expression. Steak for breakfast is impressive.
“That’s right, can I ask you something?”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Um, last night, I… how was I?”
“Last night, do you mean when I was drunk?”
“No, I mean… no, it’s fine.”
Ah, her face turned slightly red! Seeing that, for some reason, I felt a little relieved.
