Episode 11 One Night Lover's Contract with the Elf Sister I ♡
After returning home, Kian next went to the Western Church building on the outskirts of town.
It was a strange, spindle-shaped building with an overall white impression.
Around it, brown soil was trampled by people coming and going, and some kind of lush fragrant plants were planted in the space separated by stone steps.
Beyond the building, a vast vineyard stretched all the way to the undulating hills.
『It's just an ordinary church with nothing unusual about it. It looks like they make a lot of money making wine. ...... So, what are you doing here?』
「I'm here to prepare for a quest, to buy some painkillers and ointment to stop the bleeding. I use this place all the time.」
『They sell them at the guild, don't they? Why do you need to buy them here?』
Kian made a sullen face at the glasses' question.
「Unfortunately, I don't have any money. I gave the silver I stole yesterday to Esther. I don't want to steal money so many times because of the risk. ...... I'll ask one of the sisters I know here to give it to me at a discount.」
『Did you have a friend who would do business with you!?』
「It's not so much a friend as it is a relationship. I've been collecting medicinal herbs and deer liver for nearly a decade, and before I knew it, I'd become a regular vendor.」
Kian replied and walked into the herb garden in front of the church.
In the back, a thin figure dressed in the blue monastic garb of the Western Church was picking herbs into a basket.
Her golden hair hung down from her dark blue hood, reaching her waist.
The gold was almost white, almost translucent in the light.
She must have heard Kian's footsteps because before she had closed the distance to him to fifty meters, she stood up from the rows of the field.
In the dusk, her slightly wavy golden hair swayed in the wind.
The scent of rosemary and thyme softly tickled his nose.
「Oh my, ......」
The woman combed back her golden hair with her hand and turned her kind green eyes to Kian.
She squinted her eyes through the dusk darkness.
「That outfit ......, could it be Kian-kun?」
Kian pushed up the bridge of his glasses and smiled.
「Good evening, Arueno-san. Can I have a moment of your time now?」
The blonde nun, Arueno, smiled, a little relieved.
「Oh ......, it was Kian-kun after all. I couldn't tell who you were because you were wearing glasses and shaved your beard cleanly. Yes, I've just finished picking herbs for dinner. Did you bring me some herbs left over from your quest?」
She approached him.
Her figure emerged in the dusk.
She is a beautiful adult woman, like a sculpture of a goddess.
She has almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and full lips.
Her wavy golden hair swayed in the wind, and he could see her pointed ears.
Elf.
It was a race called the High Elves, who have a strong spiritual bloodline (normal elves have light yellow-green hair)
The High Elf Sister, Arueno, wrinkled her eyes a little.
「I'm sorry, I look so dirty. The day before yesterday, rain clouds came from the Rose Labyrinth, right? Because of that, the soil in the field was damp.」
As she said this, she rubbed her hands on her white apron.
She seems to be wiping off the mud.
The nun's robe she was wearing was pulled up, emphasizing her ample breasts and the nape of her waist.
She was taller than Esther.
Her beauty and body are far more mature than Serena's.
He doesn't know how old she is now.
She hadn't changed her appearance at all since Kian had arrived in the East End.
Kian shook his head.
「No, not today. I was trying to get Arueno-san to sell me medicine again.」
「My, is that so. Sure. I have some leftovers.」
「Thank you very much. By the way, I don't have much on hand right now, only about a copper coin and a half. If it's not enough, I'll barter with you for some clothes.」
He offers her the shirts and bottoms he stole yesterday.
The High Elf Sister smiled as she pulled her golden hair over her ears.
「I don't need money. If you don't have it, I'll give it to you for free.」
「Are you sure?」
「Yes. But this time it's special. I'm a professional elven pharmacist (sage). It's a rule of the association that I can't work for free.」
「Of course. I can get three silver coins if I complete the quest I'm currently on, so I'll pay you back with those.」
When Kian said that, Arueno put her hand to her lips and chuckled.
「I told you, you don't have to pay this time. You've always used our services. It's a service.」
「Thank you.」
Kian smiled briskly, showing his white teeth instead of his usual truly apologetic face.
Arueno made a slight gesture of tilting her head while smiling but walked past Kian without saying anything.
「Follow me. I'll show you to the room.」
Her body smelled of freshly packed green herbs and old herbs that looked like they had been stored in a box for a long time. It wasn't a glamorous feminine smell, but it was a soothing, nostalgic one.
He followed Arueno's long blond hair around to the back of the church.
There was a white staircase to the basement, painted with building materials from the sea.
It was the entrance to the workshop that she, Sage, had built for herself.
It was not locked and anyone could enter, but Kian had never seen anyone enter it without permission.
It was not an interesting place for young nuns, and there were no expensive items to be stolen.
If the items were really expensive or dangerous, she would have sealed them up and kept them somewhere else.
「Come on in.」
Arueno opens the stone door.
There was a cloud of dust and the smell of dried herbs wafted in from inside.
As Kian entered the basement, the lanterns on the walls of the room lit up, starting from the front and going *burn-burn-burn*
The sister behind him lit the lanterns with a silent chant.
Inside the room, there were piles of handwritten parchments, test tubes of medicinal herbs, and body parts of magical beasts.
It was tidy, but there were so many things that it was very small.
「I'm sorry for the mess. So, what kind of medicine do you want?」
Arueno slipped past Kian and walked up to a large desk in the back.
She opened a drawer and took out a ledger and a quill.
「It's a painkiller and an ointment to stop the bleeding. The ointment is the one with the liver from Spoon Wing in it.」
「The usual. All right」
「I'm glad Arueno-san is kind. From the first time I met you, I thought you were beautiful and kind, like a goddess, but today I think so more and more.」
「Oh my, what's the matter, for suddenly saying that?」
She chuckled as she took out a bottle of ointment and a test tube of painkillers from the cupboard.
She doesn't seem to be particularly displeased.
Or rather, she doesn't seem to be changing her emotions in any way.
To her, Kian is just a small child, no matter how old he is.
「I'm sorry. You were so kind to me that I couldn't help but express my true feelings.」
「You can't get anything out of an old lady like me by flattering me, you know?」
「You say you're an old lady. Because, for all intents and purposes, Arueno-san is a beautiful--and mature-aged--woman.」
「Kian-kun, what's really going on?」
Arueno glanced at the glasses that Kian was wearing as she said this.
However, she could only sense a faint fascination effect, and she quickly removed her gaze.
She put the painkillers and ointment into a container and came back to Kian.
When she came out under the light, she had a look of obvious concern on her face.
「You don't seem to have a fever ....... But there's something wrong with you. You're all dressed up with those date glasses. Is this a trend among young people?」
「Fuh, are there a lot of guys walking down the main street wearing these glasses?」
「I don't know, because I haven't been to the city lately. ......」
She looked up after showing a slight sign of thinking.
「You said earlier that you were going to work for three pieces of silver, right?」
「Yes, I did.」
「Is that a proper request through the Adventurer's Guild?」
「Of course.」
「............」
Arueno put her hand on her cheek and made a troubled face, unable to go deeper into it.
She must know that Kian is the lowest-class adventurer.
He had never stated it directly, but if they had been together for ten years, she would have known by the way he bought equipment and medicines.
And there was no way he could get three silver coins for the lowest-class quest.
「I was given an average 7th class quest. The content of the quest was something that didn't focus on hunting for treasure or killing things like that.」
「7th class? That's one of the most difficult quests in the lower class. Kian, your rank is .......」
「As you can imagine. But don't worry. I have a good chance of winning.」
「Is that so......」
Elf's sister eventually said that much and handed over the container of medicine.
Her medicine is very effective, but it doesn't have any divine effects, such as fixing a defective part or reviving a dead life.
She must be feeling unreliable with the medicine she prepared.
Arueno did not do anything wrong by giving him what he asked for, but he thinks she is thinking that if Kian dies from this, she will not wake up well.
「The reason I came here all dressed up like this was to thank you again for all your help ...... and to tell you how I feel about you.」
「Your feel?」
「............」
Kian was silent for about ten seconds.
Then he smiled at her.
「But I stopped. It would be annoying. If I come back safely from my quest, I might just say a few words along with a silver coin. ...... Take care, then.」
「Please wait, Kian-kun.」
As Kian turned his back to her, he heard an unexpectedly strong tone of voice.
Arueno walked around in front of Kian.
Her golden eyebrows, which usually drew a gentle arc, were raised tightly.
「I can't say anything about it because you have your own situation, but if you're going on an adventure, at least eat a full meal before you go. You think I don't notice that your stomach has been growling a lot?」
Arueno's ears twitched as they popped out of her blond hair.
Kian pretended to be troubled, then nodded.
「I will do so. Thanks for the advice.」
「That's not what I meant. You should eat here tonight. I can't let you through the cafeteria by rule, but I'll make you something to eat and bring it to you.」
「Is that okay?」
「Of course. You don't want to get stuck in the middle of an adventure because you're hungry, right?」
「....... I'm sorry, for everything. I'll take your word for it. The price is.....」
「I don't need your money!」
This is the first time he heard her little angry voice
Then she suddenly relaxed her expression and winked.
「Wait here. I'll bring you some nutritious wine to go with your meal, and an unthinned *muddy*; one.」
With that, she left the room.
Kian, who was left alone, stood there.
『You look surprised.』
「I was just thinking of making a miraculous return to life and getting the upper hand on the next deal. ...... Looks like Arueno-san was too much of a goddess.」
Kian shook his head loosely as he said this.
(This might ...... be a bad idea.)
Kian was grateful and fond of Arueno, who had always treated him like a person. More than once, he had dreamed of forgetting about Sarah and being with Arueno.
Of course, he couldn't propose to her due to financial problems, and it would be a big lie to say that he didn't have feelings for Sarah and his hometown. ......
Arueno was almost the only sensible and peaceful person in Kian, where everything had gone wrong. Even with the glasses and the big-heartedness, the faint feeling of infatuation for her has not disappeared.
Or rather, it has been strengthened.
His feelings have been aroused by the fact that he's going on a quest where he is facing death.
(I am not an unrefined beast. It's easy for me to control myself.)
Kian told himself that and put his hands in his pockets to adjust the position of his penis so that he would not be caught with an erection at least.
× X X X
(It's been over ten years since I met this child.)
Arueno thought as she watched the young Azrairian man sitting across from her, drinking a glass of diluted wine.
It was already midnight.
After bringing a meal for Kian, she lightly cleaned the inside of the basement workshop and made a hastily prepared table.
Arueno was sitting on the long sofa against the wall, and Kian was sitting on the chair across the desk from her.
She folded her hands on the desk and smiled.
「I'm sorry it's leftovers.」
「No. It's very delicious.」
「Is that so, I'm glad. Why don't you drink more wine? Wine is an important source of nutrition.」
「....... Yes, well, I'll take your word for it.」
She reached for the bottle to pour him some wine, but bumped into his bony hand in the process and hurriedly withdrew her hand.
「I'm sorry.」
「D-don't be」
She shook her head with a smile on her face.
But his hand was unconsciously placed in front of her ample breasts, and his left hand stroked the back of the hand that had collided with hers.
What upsets Arueno is the act she just witnessed.
(This child said that he was going to tell me how he felt)
He said that if he could succeed in his dangerous quest and get the silver coins - he would.
That's what the serious and shy Kian said.
(You fell in love with this ...... leftover lady)
Arueno felt bad inside.
She had thought that if he was an adventurer, he wouldn't be in love with a country monastery where she worked as an herbalist.
I even have a dusty workshop next to the communal graveyard - wouldn't he normally want to avoid me?
Besides, there must be plenty of younger, more passionate, and beautiful girls in the guild.
He would have had a chance to hit it off on his adventures.
Even if he hadn't had the chance to meet any of his female colleagues, he would have loved a high-class prostitute.
Or perhaps he'd fall in love with the fragile princess who is the Lord of the East End.
The love between an adventurer and a noblewoman was something familiar to her, even in the poetry of bards.
(Why me, then?)
She was more confused than anything.
If he goes on this quest and dies, she's not going to sleep well.
(...... You're still young, Kian-kun. You would be better off marrying a regular ...... tavern girl. It's hard to have children with me as an elf, and it's hard to grow old with me. It's not a dangerous request, but you should work diligently and earn enough to live on, ...... and be happy with a lovely wife..)
With that in mind, Arueno put her lips on her wine glass to fill the heavy silence.
「Arueno-san」
「Eh? Y-yes. What is it?」
「Aren't you drinking too much?」
Kian, who wore glasses and gave off an intellectual vibe, said this as he turned his gaze away.
His eyes seemed to be focused on Arueno's ample breasts on the desk――.
(He was looking at my breasts. ......?)
Her face gets hot.
But she hadn't lived long enough to know better, so she faked a gentle smile.
She nodded, casually covering her chest.
「Well, I'll cast a spell to break down the alcohol, so it's all right」
"But it's so hot," she said, puffing at the knees of her nun's uniform.
She felt a strong urge to urinate as if it was too late.
「....... I'll leave you alone for a bit.」
Arueno smiled gently and walked out of the basement workshop to the stairs.
The cool night air pressed against her cheeks, bringing back some of the thoughts that had been clouded by the alcohol.
She thought about using a spell to sober up, but she couldn't bring herself to go back to her bare face, so she stopped after all.
(It's not good. Elves are weak against poisons. They are also weak against alcohol. I should be casting a decomposition spell, but I'd rather stay drunk.)
It's not that Arueno didn't want to get married.
She also wants to become a bride.
But when she was young and bloodthirsty, she ran away from the closed elf village.
She never saw the rest of the village again, and her joining the Western Church, which she used as an excuse to leave, caused her to miss out on marriage. The church did not forbid marriage, but the knowledge of herbology and the fieldwork of ancient and modern rituals, which were not available in the village, took away Arueno's youth.
She found herself being called "mother" and "grandmother" by young nuns in the countryside.
She was still trying her best to be a woman, but in terms of age, she was still an old woman.
「Nnhh ......」
She was too lazy to go to the bathroom in the monastery, so she walked over to the irrigation ditch that ran in front of the vineyard behind the monastery.
She pulled up the hem of her navy blue priest's uniform and pulled her drawers down to her knees.
Her legs were elf-like slender.
But her hips were full and round.
Arueno looked at her own crotch and furrowed her brow.
（It's about time to take care of it.)
「...... Fuhh.」
She bent down into the channel and put pressure on her lower abdomen.
Her dark peach-colored pubic area begins to produce a trickle of yellow urine.
The urine gradually gains momentum.
Shaa .......
A sigh escapes from her lips as she feels a pleasure similar to that of sex.
Her nipples rubbed against her bent knees and her ripe body tingled, but she decided not to worry about it.
When she had finished the last of her urine, she quickly cleaned her crotch and put her underwear back on.
Then her keen ears caught the sound of someone breathing.
That someone must have been killing their presence.
Arueno pretended not to notice and deployed her sorcery technique behind her.
Her nose suddenly caught a whiff of wine, and she turned around in confusion.
「Kian-kun......」
「Arueno-san」
Kian was standing very close to her, staring at her.
He had the bloodshot eyes of a wild beast.
「I-I'm sorry. I was picking some flowers. ...... Oh, what have I done. I know, I can't believe I'm doing my business here. How embarrassing.」
「――」
Kian came up to her silently.
Arueno hurriedly twisted to get away from his hand.
「I-I'm going to go back now. If you need to do something, go ahead.」
「Please wait.」
「......」
He grabbed her arm.
She tried to get rid of it as quickly as she could, but the alcohol made her torso wobble.
She was pulled by Kian's arm.
The next thing she knew, Arueno's body was nestled in the man's muscular chest.
「No, stop it, Kian-kun!」
「Arueno-san peeing, it was so beautiful. You were bent over the canal, your golden pubic hairy pussy exposed.」
His masculine arms were wrapped around her as they crossed from her large breasts to his toned stomach.
The pointed ears sticking out of her long, wavy blonde hair are sprayed with the breath of an excited male.
「You looked so naughty, like when you were masturbating」
「......!」
He grabbed her hand and led her to his crotch.
What touched Arueno's thin, white fingers was a hard, ridged male rod.
(Oh ......, it's so big!)
「Arueno-san, will you let me have sex with you just once?」
「We can't do that. I don't have any feelings for you, Kian-kun.」
「Even so, I want you. I want to love you so much that it burns my heart!」
「......!」
(Oh no,......, What's wrong with Kian-kun? I can't believe you're coming at me with such passion. You're not your usual self.)
Then it occurred to Arueno.
He was convinced that his next job would be his death.
That's why he's coming here to forcefully tell her that he loves her.
(Kian-kun ......, you ......)
「Arueno-san. I want you.」
「......!」
(What should I do?)
It's not that we don't know each other. I've been dealing with him for ten years.
He is a serious, very nice boy. ......
(If I reject him here, Kian-kun will have to face a difficult quest with a broken heart. He might even think about dying. Instead, ...... it might be better to give him a reason to come back.)
Arueno closed her eyes and let out a sigh.
「Just once.」
She turns her head towards him and whispers.
「Just once. But no kissing. I don't love you as a man, and you might not be able to come back.」
She twists around and gently places her hands on his chest.
「You should be home before the date changes. ...... Until then, I will be your woman.」
