Chapter Title: Lunia's Sweet Night: The Bold Inn Girl (1)

◈
'Ahh~ Mr. Kalt, you're so cool~.'
Ever since Kalt had started staying at the inn, there wasn't a single day when Lunia didn't think this.
Sure, they were away right now because of the dungeon overflow, but most of the adventurers who frequented the inn were burly brutes or just average Joes.
But Kalt was different.
Word had it he was a member of the famous Mabel Party, and not only that, he had handsome looks and a smooth, pleasant baritone voice that tickled the ears.
On top of that, the sculpted physique she occasionally glimpsed during his training sessions.
To Lunia, in the prime of her youth, Kalt was like a prince who had suddenly popped out of a fairy tale.
That's why she went on and on about him, bragging to her friends in the village—even staying over at their houses just to chatter away.
Of course, her friends who had to listen to it all started off intrigued, like "Whoa, a hot guy like that?" but eventually got fed up, thinking, "How long are you gonna talk about this?"
And it wasn't just his looks—Kalt's behavior drew Lunia's interest too.
Especially how kindly he treated his comrades and took the initiative to approach them. It gave off such a mature, considerate big-brother vibe that it was a huge plus for her.
On top of that, she could clearly see Nellis and her party warming up to him day by day, which proved his actions were paying off and made his charm even more appealing.
As a bonus, every morning when they crossed paths, he'd greet her with a smile: "Morning, Lunia." Daily points added.
In Lunia's mind, thoughts like "Ahh~ Mr. Kalt is so cool~" were slowly evolving into fantasies like "Ahh~ How great would it be if Mr. Kalt were my boyfriend~?"
But Lunia knew such dreams were never going to come true.
Because Kalt had joined Nellis's party.
She knew hero parties couldn't stay in one village for over a month unless there were special circumstances.
So Kalt would be leaving with Nellis's party in a few weeks.
Who knew when he'd come back to the village after that.
Knowing all this, Lunia shifted her fantasies away from boyfriend dreams into a different genre.
Namely, a one-night memory.
It wasn't an uncommon story.
Adventurers or male heroes passing through a village would spend a sweet one-night stand with a local girl or widow.
Lunia had no such experience herself, but she'd heard the rumors or eavesdropped on the tales.
Especially before the overflow, when hero or adventurer parties stopped by briefly on their way through, boasting and giggling about banging some girl in this village or how the mood got hot with someone in that village and they just went for it.
Every time she heard those stories, Lunia inwardly cringed.
"Why do they blab about that stuff so openly? Gross, disgusting."
But when she imagined having a one-night dream with Kalt herself, it didn't seem so bad.
Adventurers and heroes were in a line of work where their lives were always on the line, after all.
So it was only natural they'd have surging hormones and such urges, right?
Which meant Kalt probably had that youthful vigor too. Maybe there'd be a chance for her to share a one-night dream with him?
The moment she thought from her own desiring perspective, Lunia's standards for sexual judgment became extremely lenient.
While she was lost in thoughts of Kalt, Lunia made up her mind.
"Alright, I'll seduce Mr. Kalt."
Surely he'd accept her willingly?
Lunia was pretty confident in her looks.
After all, she was the daughter of her mom, who subtly boasted popularity with all the village uncles.
Plus, villagers often said things like, "Lunia takes after Nadia—she's a real beauty~."
But jumping straight in took courage she didn't have yet, so after the inn quieted down, she went to her friend's house to boost her self-esteem.
Her method? During chats, she'd say stuff like, "Hey, but like~ Don't you think I'm pretty decent? Huh? No, just~ It popped into my head~ Aren't I kinda cute since I look like Mom?"
She repeated variations about ten times.
Her friend kept a disgusted look but replied, "Uh, yeah, yeah, you're pretty."
Trading a bit of her friend's goodwill for confidence, Lunia headed straight for Kalt's room.
"Huh?"
But she was a bit later than usual entering the inn, and outside, she spotted it.
Kalt heading in the direction of her and her mom's living quarters.
"Why's Mr. Kalt going that way? No way...! Is Mr. Kalt coming to me for a sweet one-night dream himself?!"
Lunia hurried inside and flung open her door.
"Mr. Kalt! What brings you to my roo—huh?"
She'd expected him to turn around, flustered or mildly surprised.
But her room was empty.
"Not in my room? Then... no way...!"
It hit her like a thunderbolt.
If not her room, there was only one answer.
Kalt had gone to her mom Nadia's room.
"He fell for maturity...!"
To Lunia, the shock wasn't so much that her mom Nadia was doing it with Kalt—it was that Kalt had chosen Nadia over her.
"No, wait!"
But Lunia hadn't given up yet.
She knew her mom's personality well.
No matter what Kalt demanded, the mom who'd raised her alone all these years would reject his advances.
After all, there'd never been any sign of a new man around Nadia, so that's what Lunia figured.
What if a rejected Kalt came knocking on her door?
Even if not, when he left Nadia's room and headed back to his, she could "accidentally" bump into him?
Wouldn't a turned-down Kalt turn his attention to her, who was showing some interest?
To seize the chance, Lunia cracked her door open and waited for Kalt to emerge from Nadia's room.
But even after 30 minutes, no sign.
"No... no way!"
Cold sweat trickling, Lunia slipped out and pressed her ear to Nadia's door.
No matter how soundproof the room, your ear right against the door would pick up something.
And then.
[Haht! Nng...! Ahhn! Mr. Kalt...!]
"...!"
The unfamiliar moans of her mom from beyond the door made Lunia's eyes widen in shock.
"Mom's a woman too! Weak to hot guys...!"
Lunia easily accepted that Nadia had given in.
Because it was Kalt.
A perfect hunk like him? Can't be helped, she vaguely rationalized.
After the shock came acceptance, and Lunia kept her ear to the door for a while.
[Hahng! Ahhhnng! Yes! Ahhn! Mr. Kalt's cock feels so good! Heeng! Ahhn! Thrust harder! Deeper into my pussy...! Ahhhnng!]
Listening to her mom's continuing moans, Lunia realized one thing.
"What do I do, what do I do! Mr. Kalt's gotta be amazing in bed too...!"
More than her mom's vulgar words, Lunia fixated on Kalt's bedroom prowess.
But keeping at it felt awkward and guilty, so she pulled away and retreated to her room.
There, holed up, Lunia resolved herself.
"Yeah! Tomorrow, I'll seduce Mr. Kalt!"
What mattered to Lunia was a sweet, beautiful, dreamlike one-night with Kalt.
Once she set a goal, she wasn't one to fuss over extras.
Lunia was Nadia's daughter.
In other words, she shared her looks—the ones Kalt had sought out himself.
Her breasts might lose to Nadia's size, but they were still plenty big, she boasted to herself.
And above all.
"I'm young!"
No ripe maturity, but she had fresh youth.
Lunia knew her weapons well.
So the next evening, she went straight to Kalt's room.
"Wearing my lucky panties too!"
Ones she'd bought that day at the village clothing shop, dipping into her hard-saved piggy bank.
"What's up, Lunia?"
Kalt asked as she entered.
A whirlwind of thoughts swirled in Lunia's head.
"How do I start? Should I chat a bit first? But if I bore him and kill the mood, it'll be awkward! I'd rather spend as much time as possible with Mr. Kalt in bed...!"
After agonizing, Lunia decided.
Go straight to the point.
"Mr. Kalt! Give me a sweet one-night too! L-Like you did with Mom!"
"...What?"
"I-I know you were with Mom last night. I saw you! You went into her room... and then I heard all the naughty noises from her room!"
"... "
"S-So give me a sweet time too!"
"So...?"
Kalt was baffled.
How did "you slept with my mom" lead to "give me a sweet time too"?
He'd half-expected something like "That's gross!" But Lunia, smitten with Kalt, had made a one-night with him her top goal, and Kalt couldn't follow her logic.
So Kalt.
"Lunia."
"Yes! Mr. Kalt!"
Spread his arms toward her.
"Ah..."
First things first, let's figure out exactly what she's thinking.
