Chapter 221: Warehouse Robbery (1)
Chapter 221: Warehouse Robbery (1)
Three-line summary of the previous episode.
One. We received a request from Luca Marti, the successor to the Marti family, one of the three major dukes of the empire, and went to great lengths to crush the plot of the vice principal who was manipulating the academy.
Two. The request was completed, but since we had already entered the academy, we wanted to enjoy academy life more, so we went on another adventure after spending one semester at the academy.
Three. I want to have sex.
Three line summary!
For that reason, we left the academy while receiving an enthusiastic farewell from the friends we had made at the academy.
We left the academy with light steps... When I couldn't see my friends waving, I gradually stopped walking.
"Soira. So where are you going now?"
This is because there was no specific decision on what to do.
But even though I had no idea what to do, there was something I had to do right away.
"Let's go to Marti's estate."
"Marti? Ah... Has the time finally come?"
After hearing my answer, Asil calmed down and spoke.
It was something worth setting the mood.
This is because going to the Marti estate, where the Marti family's main house is located, meant using the warehouse voucher received from the last request.
We did not use the warehouse voucher during the semester we lived at the academy.
There were several reasons.
One reason was that it was too far to go to Marti's estate while attending the academy.
Even if you use the portal, it would take a few days to travel, but it wasn't so urgent that I had to skip the academy, which I could only attend for one semester.
The second reason was that we did not know how much progress we would make at the academy.
As I said last time, the academy is the best environment to increase technical proficiency.
In addition to the system bonus called 'Academy', there are even professors who teach skills and know-how for free.
I didn't know how much I would grow during the one semester I attended the academy, or maybe even develop new skills, but I thought I might regret using the warehouse license hastily.
Flora and Asil also agreed to this.
And today, when I finally left the academy, it was finally time to use this warehouse license to receive items.
"So, where is Marti's territory?"
"Uh... Just stay still. Because this is where I am now. One... Around this time... Ah. It's here."
"What. It's so far away!"
Asil looked at the part of the map I pointed to and screamed in surprise.
This means that although most of the movement will be skipped using portals anyway, the distance is surprisingly long.
"Didn't you say it's a distance you can't travel in a day even if you use the portal?"
"No, I heard that, but... "
It's not reality, and what kind of distance is it that can't be traveled in a day even if you use the portal created in the game for ease of movement?
Generally, when using the expression 'distance', we talk about how far away it is physically, but of course, physical distance does not have much relevance when using a portal.
In this case, the distance is often referred to as how many times the portal must be used.
Since the Empire legally sets a limit on the number of times an individual can use the portal per day, a distance that cannot be traveled in a day means that a person must use the portal several times.
Of course there are exceptions. When carrying out urgent official duties for the empire, or as a member of one of the three major ducal families.
When I played as a hero in the last episode, I fell under this exception and was quite comfortable.
When support funds from the empire were not enough, or when money was needed secretly, I used inventory and unlimited portal access to secretly spend money through things like trade...
Well, if I were to make an excuse, it's not really illegal.
Merchants naturally use portals, and there is no law that says trade using portals is a crime.
However, it is just a synergy combined with unlimited inventory and portals.
Ego. Let's stop talking about this.
Anyway, Marti's territory was incredibly far away.
Still, I can't go.
I took the first portal to Marti's territory with Asil, who was already looking tired, and Flora, who was giving Asil a pat on the back.
◆
"We have arrived!"
"Wow, I'm tired of portals... "
"This is my first time using this many portals... "
Asil, Flora, and I each expressed our impressions as we crossed the last portal and entered Marti's territory.
I didn't think it was a bad feeling, even though it was a strange feeling when my unique senses suddenly increased when using a portal. However, having experienced it several times in a short period of time, it did make me feel a little nauseous.
It was not impossible to understand how Asil was feeling, leaning against one wall and retching.
"Still, we arrived at our destination. "You don't have to ride anymore."
"Yes? Ugh... Ah. Thank you."
Asil took the water bottle that Flora gave him and emptied it down her throat.
Meanwhile, the water that flowed from the corner of her mouth slightly wetted the top of her shirt, showing her cleavage, but she didn't care at all.
"... Puha. I guess I can live now. Now."
"Whew. Your clothes are all wet. "Come here for a moment."
"Huh? Does this dry quickly? What?"
Flora said it was okay and took Asil's reluctant hand to the corner of her room and dried Asil's clothes with her magic.
Recently, their relationship was like that.
When Asil shows herself defenseless as a woman, Flora takes care of her.
As she experienced events at the academy and lived with her female students, Asil gradually learned to use feminine gestures.
However, she only had knowledge of what areas a woman should be careful about, and as she lacked the opportunity to experience it with her own body, there were many times when she appeared defenseless.
However, when her feminine gestures and clumsy defenseless attitude combined, she became even more sexy than when I first met her.
As long as it was exciting, I would have gotten used to it and overlooked it, but the gap where it seemed like it cared but couldn't cover up the really important parts was extremely sexy.
Since you are a man, you probably know which parts look sexy. Are you doing that on purpose?
If that's the case, all I can say is that she's a really foxy bitch.
They say that the most manly thing to do is to dress up as a woman, but does that mean that TS women's behavior is also a manly thing to do?
"Are you done? If that's okay, let's find a place to stay and go straight to the warehouse."
"It's all over~"
I left the portal room with Asil and Flora, who were wearing fluffy shirts.
Since it is the city where the ducal Marti family's home is located, accommodations were expensive, but other than that, I was able to arrive at the home of the Marti family without much trouble.
Finding the mansion was easy. All I had to do was go to the biggest building in the city.
"Stop! This is Marti's mansion. Please identify yourself!"
Sure enough, he was blocked by the soldier guarding the mansion's large door.
Anyone who saw us could tell that we were adventurers. Looking at our attire and maintaining honorifics, we could tell that we were very well-trained soldiers.
Is it true that no one would dare to snoop around the Three Great Dukes, so naturally only those who come here are worthy people, regardless of their appearance?
I showed the soldier the warehouse voucher we received.
"What is this... ?!"
The soldier, who was looking at me quizzically as I handed over the paper without saying a word, widened his eyes when he saw Luca's signature on it.
"I'll put your contact information inside, so please wait a moment!"
The soldier said that and gave notice to another soldier who was also standing guard.
Did the soldier go inside and deliver the news?
That's what I thought, but the soldier pressed a button next to the door and went back to guard duty.
I guess it's like a doorbell. ... When I say it like this, it seems a bit small.
After a while, a dandy middle-aged man wearing a butler's uniform came out from inside.
Considering that it is a huge mansion where you can't see the entrance from the front door, it was cool that there wasn't an inch of disorganization in sight even though they must have been running.
The butler greeted us politely and spoke.
"Welcome. Lady Luca is waiting for you."
Eh? Luke? Why? We were planning to just look around the warehouse?
Perhaps our doubts were revealed on our faces, the deacon added.
"The lady said she wanted to see her face."
"Ah. Yes."
That was the end.
If an adventurer says he wants to see a princess, he should just say yes, I understand, and follow along. Would he be able to ask for a reason?
We didn't particularly dislike Luca either.
Her request was a bit tricky, but Luke wasn't aware of it, and she compensated him well.
Moreover, Luke Ah's personality was flawless, so she had no reason to have a bad impression.
I was just surprised because it was an unplanned meeting.
We followed the butler into the mansion.
As expected, the huge mansion required quite a long walk from the main gate to the entrance.
I was barely able to get to the mansion when I got tired of walking around the beautifully decorated garden.
We were guided to a room in the mansion and entered through the door opened by the butler.
"Oh. You're here now. "I waited."
I met Luca Marti again.
She was still a woman with distinctive red twin tails.
Looking at her tea set in front of Luke A, it seemed like she was enjoying tea time.
And in front of her, there was another person with bright blonde hair.
