Chapter 72 Teasing the Elf
“I feel like I’ve really lost out.”
In the cavernous tunnel leading upward, Noah carried Ryu on his back, slowly climbing higher.
After establishing a Mana circuit resonance between them through bodily fluid exchange and bloodsucking to resolve the Curse issue, Noah set off on the way back with Ryu.
His instincts told him that the Evilus Faction was likely making some moves on the surface at the same time,
but Ryu was already extremely exhausted before entering the Dungeon, and after several Fierce Battles, she was heavily injured and barely able to walk, stumbling after just a couple of steps.
So, Noah had no choice but to carry her to the surface.
However, what Noah didn’t know was that Ryu’s stumbling was not primarily due to her weakened body…
I can’t believe I got carried away and lost my first kiss!
With her head buried deep in the boy’s back, Ryu was almost oblivious to the strange sensation coming from the strong hand lifting her thighs.
Because, whether it was the lingering slight swelling on her lips or the tingling pain on her neck, it felt like a silent reprimand for her shamelessness, radiating a strong presence.
…I’ve been bitten on the neck, we’ve had close contact, so what are you pretending for now?!
That was for healing!
…Healing?
Does healing require kissing?
Does it need tongue action?
Such a good debater, is this what the Great Sacred Tree taught you?
This, well, that can’t be helped, after all, at that time it was too, too…
…too comfortable?
I think your true nature is showing, huh?
Don’t act all righteous and high and mighty; turns out you’re such a frivolous and loose Elf in private!
No, I’m not!
In her extreme self-loathing of ‘I want to die, I want to die,’ Ryu heard Noah’s first words since leaving the 18th floor.
Out of curiosity, Ryu forgot her emotions.
She lifted her head, resting on Noah’s shoulder, gazing at his profile with her sky-blue eyes.
Or perhaps, she was forcibly shifting her focus to forget those emotions.
“Lost out?”
“Yeah, I worked so hard to save you, but I lost my first kiss. Isn’t that a loss?”
Ryu’s eyes widened in surprise, straightening her back against Noah.
“Are you joking? Is losing my first kiss with me really a loss? And just because it’s your first kiss doesn’t mean it isn’t mine!”
Noah turned his head, his gaze blatantly sweeping over Ryu’s chest, revealing a complex expression that could be interpreted as either pity or disdain.
“Well, if you don’t think it’s a loss, then it’s not a loss.”
Upon hearing the sigh in Noah’s voice, Ryu’s rationality crumbled in an instant, her eyes filled with darkness and Bloodlust.
As the saying goes, lies never hurt, it’s the truth that cuts like a knife.
If Noah had said Luvia wasn’t beautiful or had any other physical flaw, Elf would have just scoffed.
But of all things, it had to be about her chest…
I’m still young!
At 13 or 14, in Elf terms, that’s just a child!
A little girl!
What kind of expectations could you have for a 13 or 14-year-old Elf girl?!
But just as Luvia’s sanity was reaching its brink, about to snap, Noah’s voice came through once more.
“More importantly, you don’t even like me, you won’t be with me, so giving you my first kiss would just be a waste, wouldn’t it?”
Noah once told Ais that he couldn’t imagine himself being with a woman for the long haul.
But that’s not the whole story; Noah barely had any concept of being with an Elf female to begin with.
He might occasionally appreciate a beautiful woman, but it’s no different than admiring the moon or the flowers.
No, those who admire the moon and flowers at least know what kind of scenery they like, but Noah hasn’t even thought about what kind of woman he might fancy.
After all, for a swordsman, there’s only the enemy and the non-enemy, the strong and the weak.
However, after spending time in Orario and just now releasing his desires, Noah felt that he needed to make some changes.
Yeah, to put it simply, Noah has decided to sample the pleasures of the fairer sex.
Whether he’ll open a harem or what his XP can be is something to explore later, but one thing is certain now──he’s decided to claim this little Elf for himself.
Does she like me?
Would Elf’s extreme purity accept me having a harem?
These were no longer her decisions to make once Noah made up his mind.
Who allowed her to see him, to take his first kiss and his first blood?
This concerns his understanding of the opposite sex.
Consider it payment for saving her a couple of times, yeah, she can pay it back with a lifetime.
Now, Noah is ready to bare his fangs and toy with this Elf’s heart!
“Me!?”
How can you say I don’t like you?
How can you say I won’t be with you?
We’ve already kissed, do I even have another choice?
A sense of unspoken injustice surged within her, easily sweeping away the flames of anger in Luvia’s mind.
But when she subconsciously wanted to argue back, the words stuck in her throat.
What should she say?
That she likes him?
That she wants to be with him?
Just like that, Elf’s heart was tightly gripped, unable to free itself.
Her breathing was rapid, her gaze was vacant, and her face kept changing colors as if she were on the verge of an explosion.
By the frequency of her breathing technique and the tension in her hands, Noah could clearly feel Luvia’s inner turmoil.
For some reason, he found this slightly amusing.
Huh, am I becoming more like a villain?
As Ryu clenched her fists, her face turned bright red, determined to say her part, or rather, confess her feelings…
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Noah looked up, his gaze fixed on something above, and his entire demeanor changed in an instant – BAM!
Although Ryu couldn’t see Noah’s face, she could sense that he wasn’t looking at the ceiling of the rock cave, but rather at Orario, the city above.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
The interruption made Ryu’s courage, which had just begun to build up, disappear in an instant, leaving her with a lingering sense of fear – ZIP!
“Wind!”
Naturally, there was no wind in the Dungeon, but Noah clearly felt the rhythm of the wind.
And he subconsciously identified the source of the wind… Ais!
Something must have happened on the surface!
“Something’s happening above! Let’s go!”
Without waiting for Ryu’s reaction, Noah suddenly accelerated, dashing towards the surface – WHOOSH!
The speed was so intense that Ryu had to cling tightly to Noah’s back, unable to lift her head – VROOOM!
But what she was thinking about now wasn’t what was happening on the surface, but rather…
My confession!
The confession that might have taken over a decade to gather the courage for, and now it’s all being ruined!
Even the gods wouldn’t know when she’ll be able to muster up the courage to confess again – it’s a Mana convergence of emotions!
Her regret and pain turned into resentment, making Ryu look up at the surface, her gaze piercing through the hundreds of meters of rock, staring at some figure – GRRR…
Whoever interrupted my confession will have to pay the price!
Everyone will have to die – it’s a Type-Moon style massacre!
