Chapter 18 - Noah's Repayment (1) (★)

"E-exclusive?"

"Yeah, exclusive~ Ah, I'll sit ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠on the bed."

Noah sat on the bed.

Somehow, it felt off for only me to have my legs stretched out on the bed, so I lowered my legs too.

"Hihi~."

Noah laughed and narrowed the distance to sit next to me.

I could smell Noah's scent, the one I'd smelled in the dungeon.

And there was a slightly more fragrant aroma.

Looking closely, her hair seemed fluffier than when it had been messed up.

"Noah, did you take a bath?"

When I was getting the city tour, I heard there's a public bath in this city.

But I also heard that using it costs 2 silver each time.

"Yeah, that's right~. You noticed well, Lant. How is it? I don't smell, do I?"

"I never thought you smelled in the first place, Noah."

Noah's scent pleasantly arouses my sexual desire.

Even if the scent were stronger, it'd be fine.

"Ooh, you're good at flattery, Lant."

"It's not flattery... But Noah, what do you mean Tina isn't coming? And what's this about exclusive...?"

"Ah, I had something to discuss with you, Lant. Since the conversation might take a while, I asked Tina to let me have tonight."

"I see."

What kind of discussion could it be?

Noah hooked her arm around mine, grinning mischievously.

"Hihi, when I said I was monopolizing Lant, did your heart flutter a little?"

It wasn't so much fluttering as it was a moment of panic, thinking she'd found out about the massage with Tina.

Noah's chest touched my upper arm.

Thank you very much!

"What is it you wanted to talk about, Noah?"

"Fufufu~ Your face is red, Lant."

That's because Noah's chest is pressing pleasantly against my arm.

It can't be helped.

"What is it you wanted to talk about, Noah?"

"Can we talk like this?"

More than welcome.

"Yeah."

"Then the first thing is... thank you, Lant."

Noah leaned her face against my arm and thanked me.

"For saving us, and for forming a party with me... thank you for everything."

"You don't need to thank me for forming a party, Noah. I wanted to be in a party with you and Elsie."

"Still, thank you. I'm really glad I'm in the same party as Lant."

"Same here, Noah."

It was a heartwarming conversation.

I like lewd things too, but I thought this kind of atmosphere was nice too.

I wonder if we'll transition into a lovey-dovey sex mode?

"Actually, you know. I was planning to ask you to form a party with me tonight, Lant."

"Really?"

"Yeah. But during lunch today, you beat me to it, hihi."

So even if I hadn't spoken first, Noah wanted to form a party with me.

"But... still, it's a good thing you said it first today, Lant. If I had brought it up first... Elsie would have definitely been stubborn. I think we were able to form the party because you spoke first."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah."

Noah was silent for a moment, then tightened her grip on my arm slightly and spoke.

"You know, Lant. Back then... right before you showed up... when we were about to be done in by the Hobgoblin..."

Noah's voice trembled a little.

"I was really scared. I thought, this is it, I'm going to die. But you know, the sadness was bigger than the fear. I had been so excited about becoming E-rank that I recklessly pushed forward... and I was sad that I might end up getting Elsie killed too."

Noah looked up at me and smiled.

That smile wasn't playful or sly; it was like a delicate flower.

"But... but you know. That's when Lant appeared. Like a hero straight out of a story... you saved us. You were really cool back then, Lant."

"Hmm, I did break things a bit because I was too strong, didn't I?"

Like when I pulled out the magic stone with my bare hands.

"I was surprised, but I didn't hate it. If anything, having a lot of strength is reassuring, isn't it?"

"Is it?"

"Of course! And you know. It's only been two days since I met Lant... but I wanted to be in a party with you. Of course, Lant is strong... but I also have fun talking with you."

"Then we felt the same way."

"Uh, I guess so? Hehehe."

Noah rubbed her face against my arm.

The feel of her cheek was incredibly soft and pleasant.

It was like a big cat being affectionate.

Thank you very much!

"Lant, I'll say it again. Thank you ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠for saving me. And please take care of me from now on."

"Yeah, Noah. I'm counting on you too."

Noah let go of my arm.

Then she stood up from the bed.

Was the conversation over?

"The first errand, thanking Lant, is done. Now then..."

Noah looked at me and grinned slyly as usual.

No, it seemed more sly than usual.

"I'll talk about the main topic, the second errand."

"The main topic?"

"Yeah."

Jjack

Noah clapped her hands.

"Thank you for saving my life, Lant."

"Uh, yeah."

I heard that earlier too.

"So... I'll repay the favor to you directly with my body."

That's the first time I'm hearing it.

Wait.

What?

"N-Noah?"

Did I mishear?

Or am I dreaming from this point on?

"Didn't I say yesterday? 'Want me to give you a slightly lewd reward?'"

"Th-that was a joke, wasn't it?"

"Yeah, it was a joke. But you know... now I'm serious. And not just a little, I'm planning to give you a very, very deep lewd reward."

It doesn't sound like a joke.

Is this reality?

Or have I been imagining too much that it looks real?

Hey, this feels like déjà vu?

It felt the same way yesterday when I was with Tina.

So this must be reality.

Please let it be reality.

First, let me ask the reason.

Even if Noah is playful, I couldn't believe she'd suddenly say something like this.

Even if I don't believe it, I want to receive a lewd reward.

"Wh-why..."

"Actually, I was thinking of gradually increasing physical contact—like hugging Lant tightly—since guys like a lot of body contact with girls, right?"

That is absolutely correct.

"I don't mind touching bodies with Lant... in fact, Lant's body is amazing, so personally I wanted to touch it too. But you know..."

Noah shrugged her shoulders.

"I never dreamed that innocent, polite Lant would lay a hand on Tina."

"Um!?"

The massage with Tina had been discovered by Noah.

Making excuses now probably wouldn't work on her.

"H-how did..."

"You want to know how I found out?"

"Yeah..."

Noah grinned mischievously and wagged her tail gently.

"Last night, I was going to go to Lant's room. It was a bit ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠late, but... a girl visiting a guy's room late at night is exciting, isn't it? I thought I'd take the first step in physical contact by sleeping together. But when I opened my door, Tina was coming out of Lant's room. I knew Tina was giving massages, so I figured Lant had received one. But the door was slightly ajar, so I peeked inside..."

Noah's face flushed slightly.

"Naked Lant was sitting on the bed. And your dick was all bulging and rock hard."

I had shown her a scene that was an instant knockout.

"Uh..."

"Lant, I thought you were really bold despite your appearance. Were you a pretty wild guy back home?"

I shook my head vehemently.

"Not at all!"

"Hmm~ So why did you do it with Tina?"

"W-well, it's... it's a kind of massage, you could say..."

"A lewd massage using your dick?"

"Ugh..."

What should I say?

"Did the sex with Tina feel good?"

"W-we didn't have sex!"

I'd like to, though.

Noah tilted her head.

"Huh? Really?"

"Yeah..."

"Hee, is that so. Hee..."

Noah's smile became even more sly.

"How far did you go?"

"D-do I have to say?"

Noah nodded.

"Yeah. Tell me, Lant."

"W-we did it with... hands."

"Only hands?"

"Yeah..."

"I see~ So only with hands. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Then I understand your actions after that."

"M-my actions after that?"

Did Noah see it?

She didn't go straight into the room after seeing my naked body; did she keep watching?

My seven-time masturbation session.

"My, I never thought I'd see a guy masturbate."

So she watched it all.

I'm so embarrassed.

And a little turned on.

What was Noah thinking when she saw me masturbate?

Did she get even a little turned on?

I'm very curious.

"Lant, your hands are big, but your dick is huge too."

"Th-thank you?"

Noah made a circle with one hand and moved it up and down.

"I've heard about it, but guys really do grab their dicks and shake them up and down fast, huh?"

"Yeah..."

Explaining it one by one is a bit embarrassing.

But hearing lewd words from Noah's mouth...

I'm very excited.

"Lant, are you the type who doesn't say anything when you masturbate?"

"Yeah..."

I know well that voicing the contents of my fantasies out loud is dangerous.

"Hihihi, Lant was amazing. Even though Tina used her hand on you... you came seven times."

So she saw the entire masturbation from start to finish.

"Huh? Y-you saw it all?"

"Hehe, yeah... I got absorbed watching Lant shake his dick earnestly with a red face... Fufufu, Lant's face when you came. It was pretty cute? Especially how you squeezed your eyes shut and trembled a little."

Hearing that I looked cute is very embarrassing.

I don't know why, but even though I'm not an M, it feels kind of good.

Is this the pleasure of humiliation play?

"Seeing Lant like that, I thought, for a guy with such a strong sex drive, it would be better to do lewd things with my own body. I'm also... a little interested in doing it with a guy. Of course... if it's not Lant, I wouldn't want to."

I'm very, very happy!

But is it really okay to go all the way with Noah like this?

Of course I want to do it a lot, but the development is so sudden that my head can't keep up.

Noah placed her hands on both my shoulders.

"Hey, Lant."

"Uh, yeah, Noah!"

"Lant, have you ever had sex?"

"Uh, no."

I've masturbated tens of thousands of times, though.

"Hmm~ So, was Tina the first to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠touch you with a woman's hands?"

"Yeah..."

"Hmm~ Hmm~ Hehehe."

Noah's sly smile seemed very pleased.

"Then... Lant is still a virgin?"

"Yeah."

If I include my past life, I boast over thirty years.

I'm at the level of a Grand Sorcerer.

Noah brought her lips close to my ear and whispered.

"Then... by way of repaying the favor, today... I'll take your virginity."

Is that really true?

Was Noah not a little devil, but an angel?

Or, considering she's taking the virginity of a Grand Sorcerer, is she still a little devil after all?

"B-but Noah, doing that just to repay a favor..."

"Oh, by the way... I'm also still a virgin?"

A virgin.

I'm a virgin.

Noah is a virgin.

That means the fresh, innocent development between newbies that I imagined when I came to Puldang is about to happen.

Well, it might not be so innocent; it seems more on the lewd side.

But that's even better!

Breaking through all restraint, my dick went straight to full erection.

In an instant, my dick went fully erect, skipping the tent-making stage and sticking straight out, poking out of my pants.

Noah moved away from my ear to look at my face.

"Oh?"

When she moved back a bit, her eyes seemed to land on my fully erect dick.

"Hihihi."

Noah showed her teeth and grinned slyly.

"Lant's dick really wants to receive my favor repayment, huh?"

It's not just my dick; I want it very much too.

"Lant's dick is honest and a good boy~."

Noah took off her right glove and placed her palm on my glans.

"Nngh!"

The touch of her hand, different from Tina's, wrapped around my glans.

"Good boy, good boy~."

Noah rotated her wrist left and right, stroking my glans.

"N-Noah..."

Noah stopped her hand and looked at me.

This time it wasn't a sly smile.

With flushed cheeks and a sticky gaze, Noah was making a very lewd face.

"Hey, Lant... will you accept my favor repayment?"

If I refuse here, I'm not a man.

No, I never had any intention of refusing in the first place.

I was flustered by the sudden situation, but when I think about it, isn't this exactly the development I'd been hoping for?

Just agree immediately!

Agree with vigor!

But still, it's embarrassing, so my voice came out softly.

"Yeah..."

"Hehehe. Elsie is cute too... but Lant's embarrassed look is cute too."

I thought Noah's appearance now was both lewd and cute.

Noah took her hand off my dick.

Noah grinned lewdly and brought her hands to her top.

"Then I'll take this off."

Noah began to undress.
