Chapter 32: Yuria
“Hey, Yuria.”
“Yeah? Wh-what is it?!”
“Uh. Well. Hmm.”
Yuria’s room was...
Incredibly filthy.
“Is this a pigsty?”
“Hey! No! It’s just... that’s how it is when you live alone!”
“Is that so? Wow.”
Clothes were strewn about haphazardly, and dishes were tossed here and there.
Furthermore, mysterious dolls and stuffed monster heads were arranged with absolutely zero sense of aesthetics.
Wait, were they even arranged, or just abandoned where they fell?
Even a wooden training sword was rolling around in a corner, and her stained armor lay neglected without any sign of maintenance.
“By the way, that armor looks way too small. Is it even yours?”
“Yeah. Well, you see. Um. It’s sentimental armor?”
“...Sentimental armor?”
“Yeah. My dad bought it for me before he passed away. It was my first set.”
“Aha.”
Yuria didn’t have a father.
Come to think of it, I’d never heard her mention him once.
So there was a reason Moira kept hitting on me and telling me to become her son-in-law.
To be honest, I’d been unsure whether she even had a husband. She’d never explicitly told me, so I didn't know for sure.
Of course, I assumed he wasn't around based on the atmosphere.
Anyway, judging by Yuria’s nuance, he probably passed away when she was quite young.
“Hehe. For now... should we clean up a bit?”
“Let’s do that. I’ll help.”
“Thanks!”
Together with Yuria, I gathered the scattered clothes into a laundry basket and shoved all the trash into my subspace pocket for the time being. I could just throw it away later.
Plain panties. And this is... a piece of beef jerky?
How should I put it? It felt less like a woman’s room and more like the room of a typical, deadbeat adventurer.
Adventurers generally lacked life skills.
Perhaps because their brains developed primarily for survival in the Labyrinth, many of them were a mess when it came to daily life.
You could tell just by looking at the fact that brothels, gambling dens, and taverns made up more than half of the Labyrinth City’s commercial districts.
A wholesome adventurer was a very rare creature indeed.
In the first place, how many adventurers were diligent enough to come back from the Labyrinth and do laundry or housework?
No one wants to waste their day off on trivial chores after barely escaping death.
And if they were that diligent, they wouldn't have become adventurers in the first place.
As much as they struggled in the Labyrinth, everyone wanted to just play and eat on the surface without working.
“Hehe. All done!”
“Phew. Yuria.”
“Yeah?”
“Try to clean up once in a while.”
“Hey! I’m sorry! I’m sorry for asking you over to a house that wasn't even cleaned! But I didn't know I’d be bringing you here so soon!”
Yuria shouted, her face flushing red.
Wait, she’s getting mad after I helped her clean?
Well, she was probably embarrassed, so I decided to let it slide.
“Besides, this is the first time I’ve ever brought anyone home.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. I’ve never even invited my mom. You’re the first guest.”
So I was the first guest.
No wonder the place was a disaster.
It seemed no one had ever helped her manage her home.
This is why one needs a slave.
If you have a slave, they take care of the housekeeping for you.
But does this house not even have water?
I was starting to get thirsty.
“Yuria, do you have anything to drink? Like water?”
“Hold on. Let’s see. Um. Do you want to drink this?”
“What? This is booze.”
Naturally, there were no refrigerators in this world.
Nobles might have similar magical tools, but civilization wasn't advanced enough for refrigerators to be common in ordinary homes.
Because of that, most people kept their drinks in separate storage boxes.
Yuria’s drink storage was filled with alcohol.
“You... you just drink as soon as you get home from the Labyrinth, don't you?”
“Well... yeah. There’s nothing else to do.”
“Your liver is going to harden if you keep that up.”
“My liver is going to harden? Why would my liver get calloused? Don't be ridiculous.”
“I’m serious. If you drink too much, your liver swells up and eventually hardens.”
“Wait, really?! You’re being serious?”
“I am. Have you ever heard of cirrhosis?”
“No, first time hearing it. What’s that?”
“If you drink excessively, your liver can't detoxify it, so it gets sick and eventually hardens.”
“The liver detoxifies alcohol?”
“Yeah. The liver detoxifies drugs and other harmful substances in the body.”
“Wait, isn't that the kind of knowledge only doctors would have? Sion, were you a healer?”
“It’s just... knowledge from the East.”
This world was advanced in strange ways, but its basic level of civilization was similar to the Middle Ages.
Medical knowledge wasn't particularly well-developed, and it was an era where folk remedies were more common than professional medicine.
As such, this kind of knowledge was usually only held by healers.
“It’s not cool to die of a disease. And you have to live a long time... so we can see each other for a long time.”
“Wh-what...! Sion, does that mean you want to see me for a long time? Growing old together... how romantic.”
Yuria grinned and slunk her hips over to sit right next to me.
She leaned against me, putting a bit of her weight on me.
Yuria’s scent wafted into my nose.
Thanks to her ability, she always smelled wonderful.
I felt nervous.
Because we were about to do it.
It was my first time, so of course I was nervous.
Would I be good at it?
I wouldn't disappoint Yuria, would I?
It’s not like I was lacking in size, but...
To be honest, I wasn't exactly hung like a stallion, so I was a bit anxious.
“Hey, Sion.”
“Yeah.”
“You said earlier that slaves are your type.”
“Right...?”
“Then, from now on, when it’s just the two of us... should I call you Master?”
“What?”
Master?
“Master. Hehe. How is it?”
“Uh. Well, that’s. Uh.”
“Hahahaha! What! You’ve completely broken down, haven't you? Do you like it that much when I call you Master? Hmm? Master. Hehe. Master!”
“Hey. Stop it. It’s embarrassing.”
“Ooh. Sion’s embarrassed. Aw, man! You brat! Come here!”
“Agh!”
Yuria pounced on top of me.
Like a lioness attacking her prey.
Straddling me, Yuria nibbled on her lower lip and grinned.
“Caught you, Master.”
“Hey... Yuria. I told you it’s embarrassing...”
“Hehe. Is Master embarrassed? Then should we kiss so we won't be embarrassed anymore? Hmm?”
“.....”
When I couldn't answer, Yuria licked her lips with her tongue.
“You’re cute, Master. You look delicious.”
Yuria’s face drew closer.
Soon, it was right in front of mine.
“Yuria.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Are you... really okay with me?”
Was I really okay?
Yuria was a skilled adventurer.
And she was an adventurer who would soon earn a gold badge.
That meant men were lining up for her.
Not to mention guys stronger than me or wealthy men—perhaps most of the single men in the Labyrinth City had their eyes on her.
She was a highly skilled adventurer, incredibly beautiful, and had the Guild Master as her backing.
She was one of the most popular women in the Labyrinth City...
How should I put it? She was like the top beauty of the province.
She felt like a Labyrinth City idol.
And a woman like that was clinging to me, saying she liked me.
I couldn't understand why she liked me.
“Am I okay with you? Of course. There’s no adventurer as intellectual, thorough, and well-prepared as you. No matter how much someone has a subspace pocket, they don't prepare for a Labyrinth run that thoroughly. You’re obsessive. That’s what attracts me.”
Yuria’s eyes turned slightly serious.
“You see, I like people who are good at the things I can't do. And Sion, in that sense, you’re my ideal type. I love how you always assume the worst and never give up no matter what happens. I told you, didn't I? Power isn't everything when it comes to strength.”
“You did.”
“You’re strong. In the Underground City, everyone was ultimately saved by you. Sion, have some confidence. You’re currently being wooed by the most beautiful woman in the Labyrinth City.”
“....”
A woman who fills a man’s self-esteem.
I’d regret it for the rest of my life if I let a woman like this go.
My mind was made up.
Yes, even though I hadn't engraved a slave mark on her.
A girlfriend who liked me this much and volunteered to be my slave...
I didn't think it was bad at all.
“What’s with that touched expression? Come here!”
Yuria immediately pressed her lips against my cheek.
“First, a peck on both cheeks!”
“W-wait! Hold on!”
A relentless barrage of pecks followed.
She held me tight so I couldn't escape and showered my face with kisses.
Not just my cheeks and lips, but my eyes, forehead, and nose too.
Mwah! Mwah! “How is it? My kiss attack. It’s good, right? Right? Since I’m pretty. You’re definitely happy, aren't you, Master?”
“....It’s, it’s not bad.”
“Hehe. Then I’ll give you more!”
The kisses continued.
Yuria licked my neck and sucked on it.
They were playful kisses in many ways, but they were filled with just as much affection.
As if trying to make up for all the kisses she couldn't give until now, Yuria kissed me like she was kissing a doll, and eventually even started biting and licking my face.
“Hey, hey, I’m going to be covered in spit at this rate. Are you a puppy or something?!”
“Hehe. But dogs usually lick their master’s face. You said you liked slaves. I’m just cleaning Master’s face.”
“If, if you’re going to do it... then on the lips too...”
“Pfft! What? Master, you wanted to kiss? Our Master is such a shy boy.”
“Whatever...”
“There you go being shy again. Give me those lips. Master’s lips are all mine.”
“I feel like the relationship between slave and master has been reversed...”
Yuria flicked her tongue and sucked on my lips.
Seeing the playful look in her eyes, she really was playing with me.
“How is it? The kiss service from your slave? It’s good, right? You don't even feel like buying a slave anymore, do you? I’m enough of a slave for you, right?”
“Uh... yeah...”
“That answer was weak! Are you going to buy a slave? Yuria will kiss Master, and when we’re alone, she’ll do all sorts of fun things for you. Answer me.”
“F-for now... I’ll put off buying a slave.”
“Hehe. Good. Good choice, Master. Then as a reward, I’ll lick your tongue too.”
“What!?”
“Oh, you shy boy. Why are you overreacting again? Look. We just rubbed our lips together, so now we have to rub our tongues too. Right? Hmm? Let’s make some progress. Okay?”
“Is... is that how it works?”
“Ugh! Just! Pant, pant. Master, hurry. Let Yuria suck Master’s tongue. Hurry!”
“Urgh...”
Yuria licked my lips and urged me on.
I couldn't help it.
I... I wanted to touch tongues with Yuria too.
“Fine! Mwah.”
When I poked my tongue out slightly, Yuria seemed excited as she took a deep breath and started sucking on it.
Yuria and I were pressed completely together.
Her breasts were crushed against me.
I felt like I could feel Yuria’s heartbeat.
Even her breathing was becoming increasingly ragged.
Yuria’s saliva and my own mixed together.
Yuria sucked on my tongue as if she wouldn't let a single drop escape.
“Oh, right. You said you were thirsty. Hehe. Master. Is even Yuria’s saliva okay?”
“Uh... yeah. Give it to me quickly...”
“Mmm... I really like you. I love you so much, Master.”
“....Me too.”
Whispering love, Yuria shared her saliva with me.
I was thirsty... so I thought it worked out well.
