Chapter Title: Na Cho Mu - Daniela’s Temptation
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Daniela’s figure caught my eye.
A firm backside that seemed heaven-sent.
The lewd maid outfit that fully exposed her hips swayed enticingly.
For some reason, the seductive smile playing on her lips made my breathing grow ragged.
And the way she was subtly glancing my way.
“Hehe, what’s wrong?”
“Ah, n-no, uh, your outfit is just... unique. Haha.”
“The clothes I was wearing got soaked with sweat. Hehe.”
“Ah, aha!”
It was an answer that felt hastily thrown together no matter how you looked at it.
Daniela let a smile curl on her lips as she swayed her body.
A hollow laugh escaped me.
Fuck, isn’t this straight-up seduction? I could just bend her over right now, right?
No, get a grip.
I’d only just realized how much I still lacked.
Even if I didn’t lack anything.
I still hadn’t connected with her enough.
She wasn’t someone harmful to me, and she was far from a bad person.
On the contrary, she was a woman I needed to protect.
But jumping straight to rape? That’s a no-go.
No matter how pathetic I was or how little pride I had.
I wasn’t going to become a criminal to the person I had to save.
If I’d at least shoved my dick in some hole before, maybe.
Something only possible in dreams.
So I had to stay calm.
This might even be the baron’s doing.
I swallowed dryly and headed to my seat.
I sat down in front of the food.
The delicious aroma assaulted my nose already, but my attention was solely on Daniela’s scent.
“Eat up quickly. I prepared a special menu today.”
“Huh? Oh, uh, yeah. Hey, there are oysters here?”
“Yes, fresh oysters. Even my husband only gets them once a month.”
“Where’d you get oysters from, anyway?”
The Ularin territory was pretty far from the sea.
Considering the closest water was a lake.
Follow that lake a ways and you hit the ocean, I guess.
Besides, raw oysters like these could be dangerous if not handled right.
Daniela smiled warmly at my question.
She looked just like the goddess Gaia, bountiful enough to give anything.
“Hehe, curious about that? Oh my, oh my, how cute.”
“Uh, yeah?”
My ears burned hot.
Damn it, that line was a total cheat code.
“No, before I married, I was from the Kostas family. We mainly do swordsmanship and fishing.”
“Aha, got it.”
It was fascinating.
Swordsmanship and fishing.
A combination that didn’t match at all.
Though in reality, there were farmers who awakened as A-rank hunters.
Thanks to that, I now knew what Daniela’s family did.
No, but why oysters of all things?
I swallowed dryly and stared at the oysters.
She naturally handed me a fork.
As I reached for it, she stroked the back of my hand.
It should have given me chills, but instead it was so warm I wanted to savor it longer.
“Oh.”
“Oh my, must be your youth. Your skin is so smooth.”
“Ah, uh, yeah.”
“Hehe, adventurers usually look rough. You’re special.”
My heart pounded like it would burst.
It felt like it really might explode at this rate.
I wanted to pounce on her right then, but I had to hold back. I needed to conquer this urge and become a better man.
“Haha, thanks for the meal. Oysters are pricey, right?”
“They are. Oh, don’t worry. Our family uses special magic preservation. They’re fresh!”
“Aha, thanks.”
Guess I could eat them without worry.
Oysters were famous for boosting stamina, after all.
And they only got more expensive over time, didn’t they?
Thanks to those damn labor costs.
As always, I scooped up some meat stew first.
It was light and delicious.
Would be perfect with some kimchi and a spicier simmer.
But why was Daniela just watching me eat?
No, why’s she doing this today? Is she really telling me to fuck her?
I shook my head.
This was temptation in action.
She tilted her head.
She leaned in close, bending at the waist to look at me.
Her perky tits hung down in a perfect curve.
Fuck! Look at that body. Wow, those tits!
I couldn’t meet her eyes.
Daniela, meanwhile, calmly held my gaze.
“What’s wrong? Not tasty?”
“N-no. It’s hot. I-I’m bad with hot stuff.”
Lame excuse level: expert.
Daniela smiled.
Just looking at her made violent thoughts pile up inside me.
“Hehe, I see. Eat slowly!”
“Yeah, ahem.”
I deliberately went for the hash browns with my fork.
But Daniela pushed the oyster plate toward me like she’d been waiting.
It was so blatant.
Like a wife forcing an obligatory defense battle.
“Here, try this oyster too.”
“Aha, right. Sure!”
I carefully picked up an oyster.
The oyster nestled in its large shell came into view.
It gave off a tangy yet sweet aroma, probably from some sauce.
I slurped it up cautiously and chewed.
The oyster was soft yet thick as it slid over my tongue.
Oh, delicious. Wow, you can tell it’s expensive just from the taste.
I was shocked.
This good?
It was like those luxury oysters you only see on TV.
Should I really be eating this for free?
“How is it?”
“Delicious! Amazing.”
“Amazing? Hehe, glad to hear it!”
Daniela shook her body happily.
Her tits jiggled along with her.
Jiggle jiggle♡
I ate like I was entranced.
I finished the meal in a daze.
I was sure I’d never eaten so intently before.
Must be the oysters.
My dick felt unusually energized compared to other times.
No, probably the strength stat. But does strength make your dick bigger too?
Probably not.
Strength related to muscles and body, sure.
But I’d never heard it enlarged dicks.
I glanced at Daniela.
Fuck, no matter how I look, that’s temptation.
Dani Madam was tidying up the food cart.
Her backside was on full display.
Her ripe ass swayed enticingly.
And peeking between them was her secret underwear.
Wobble wobble♡
It jiggled so tautly, defying the years.
Two chewy handfuls?
No, that was two premium cheeks.
Even calling them “two handfuls” would be an insult.
That’s premium of the premium.
Plus, her delicate hands deftly cleared the table with skill.
Not the dainty fluttering of noble wives.
She had a spirited, capable air.
I swallowed dryly.
After seeing all those modern women who hate getting their hands dirty just to snag a rich guy, a woman like this makes the world look different.
Truly a nonstop stream of admiration.
Daniela was flawless.
And kind to boot.
Ah, I want meals made by a woman like this every morning.
I’d reached my ultimate wish.
I scratched my head.
Daniela was even wiping down the cart with a handkerchief—something she never did usually.
Now both her tits and ass were swaying in tandem.
Like a symphony.
Boing boing♡ Wobble wobble♡
My mouth was so dry my tongue felt like cracking.
I should look out the window.
Or I’d get the wrong idea.
Then my eyes met Daniela’s. She was watching me.
The corner of her eye curved softly.
Gasp!
I scratched my head and turned to the window.
Wow, driving me crazy.
Succubus or what?
I heard the sound of the cart being pulled.
She leaving now?
Daniela asked as she pulled the cart.
“By the way, adventurer?”
“Yes?!”
“Do you have a girlfriend? Or a lover? You seem like the type.”
“Huh? No, what? Nothing like that.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes! I’m married to my work!”
I grinned brightly.
I sighed inwardly.
I scratched my cheek.
You idiot, who do you think you are, Zhuge Liang? Married to work? Damn, that line sucks.
Even I thought my line was lame.
Couldn’t practice at some academy or anything. Was this just innate?
But Daniela covered her mouth and laughed.
“Pfft, you’re so funny.”
“Ah, aha. Thanks.”
“Then rest well. Hehe.”
“Yes, take care!”
Daniela pulled the cart out.
I let out a long breath.
It felt like a storm had passed.
Her scent still lingered in the room.
I sat dazed for a moment, then shook my head and stood.
“Get it together. Could be the baron’s trap. Suspect everything!”
I looked down.
I needed to suspect.
But this damn dick was hard again.
Haa. Fine, that’s romance too.
“Focus on my business.”
Better to suspect unless proven otherwise.
That’s how the world worked.
What to do now?
I sighed long and thought.
Then smirked.
Then shall I grab the baron’s weakness? Yeah, Concept Book!
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
‘Foreigner’s Concept Book’ activates.
Ularin Manor. Ultimate hidden piece exists in the underground wine cellar.
“Huh?”
Ultimate hidden piece, of all things.
I was trying to find a weakness, but uncovered something unexpected.
I licked my lips.
Rubbed my hands together.
Whoa, the hidden piece was closer than I thought. Let’s go!
I quietly slipped out of the room.
An ultimate hidden piece? Of course I had to fetch it.
What could it be?
Boost my stamina super hard?
Upgrade my dick to black guy levels?
Whatever it is, it’s gotta be essential.
I scanned around and moved as stealthily and swiftly as possible.
Come to think of it, I’d learned a ton at hunter academy.
If only I’d awakened.
Recall academy lessons.
Hunters typically had positions.
Frontline melee DPS or tanks, mid-line ranged DPS or mages, backline supports, debuffers, healers, and more.
Among them were flankers who slipped out from the sides to disrupt enemy formations.
I’m a flanker now. Got hooked on assassin games and grinded this role. Let’s do this.
I exhaled once and leaped.
I cleared the hallway in one bound.
I checked below.
A few servants were cleaning.
Ah, this time they’re wrapping up. Not the main area anyway.
Looking closer, past the servants was a passage down to the basement.
Probably the wine cellar?
Never thought I’d end up in a wine cellar someday.
Those were for the rich, it seemed.
Not that I care about booze.
But if there were beauties or hidden pieces there.
I’d go even if a hydra guarded it.
That’s romance.
I hung from the railing.
Careful, careful. Hold your breath.
I steadied my breathing and dropped lightly below.
The moment I hit the ground, I bolted.
Tat!
“Hm?”
“Huh?”
The servants’ surprised voices faded behind me.
I glanced back.
I was already far from them.
Almost laughed.
I’m an assassin. Sleep easy.
Kuh, cool as hell.
I descended the basement stairs.
Gently pushed open the iron door.
It opened surprisingly easily.
Don’t they lock these?
Showed just how sloppy the baron and his rules were.
I went down.
The wine cellar appeared.
Fluorescent glowing stones embedded in the walls.
For lighting, probably.
But where is it?
I looked around slowly.
No obvious hints.
Spot it when I see it?
I advanced carefully, smacking my lips.
Hope no mobs spawn here.
Clunk!
I whipped around.
Even now, I didn’t panic or flinch.
Thanks to Reckless Mind.
One wine bottle was sticking out slightly. Like it wanted attention.
I approached curiously and touched it.
Hm, just wine.
That’s it.
But then.
Vrrr!
The wine bottle vibrated.
I tried to pull away in surprise, but suddenly it glowed.
“Huh?”
Not gonna explode, is it?
The wine cellar filled with white light for a moment.
I looked at my hand.
In it was a necklace fragment, like it had broken off somewhere.
“Necklace?”
⚔ ITEM ACQUIRED ⚔
Fragment of the Ultimate
Classification:Fragment Item
「A piece of the Demon King's heart, said to be the ultimate item.」
Demon King’s heart?
Metaphorical?
With “ultimate fragment” in the name, it’s no ordinary item.
But no other explanation?
Concept Book.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙
‘Foreigner’s Concept Book’ activation failed for this item.
Conditions not met.
Huh, even Concept Book doesn’t know?
Whatever it was, it was a hidden piece, so I hung it around my neck.
Early night for tomorrow?
I smirked and headed back to my room.
