A VR Travel Story That Makes You Want to Be Humiliated

Chapter 224: Warehouse Robbery (4)

Chapter 224: Warehouse Robbery (4)

"Whoa, it was delicious!"

Following Luca's suggestion, we decided to stay tonight, and after being treated to dinner, we were taken to a guest room.

– Whip it up!

As soon as Asil saw the bed, he cried out in amazement and threw himself into the bed.

Fortunately, the soft bed was fine without a single creaking sound even after bearing Asil's weight.

For reference, in this world, you wear shoes until you go to the living room, but when you enter a room, you take off your shoes.

It's unthinkable to wear shoes on the bed.

The reason why Eastern culture is mixed in WM, which is basically a Western fantasy, is simple. This is because in WM, you can set the culture as you wish.

In another virtual reality game that is said to be based on historical research, there is something that makes you cry and get upset when you see Koraji climbing on the bed with his shoes on.

Of course, this is a very basic courtesy, and if you think aristocratically, all kinds of miscellaneous courtesy increases endlessly.

"You know, it's not polite."

Like Flora, who finally pays attention to Asil, who starts struggling with her arms and legs on the bed.

"Eh~ It's okay. It's between us anyway."

"But we are guests. "You have to follow the etiquette that needs to be observed."

Isn't this okay? The higher-ranking nobles are stricter about etiquette, so you have to be careful. The two bickered with each other, but only after a long time were they able to reach a dramatic compromise.

"You mean I just have to keep this?"

"Please at least protect that."

I really have to adhere to a few things that I think are minimum etiquette, but I'll be a bit more lenient about other things.

After the negotiations with Flora were concluded, Asil sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at me.

"But Flora doesn't say anything to Soira?"

"Soyeon..." What? Now that I think about it, it looks like that."

Flora thought deeply and said.

"Soira observes etiquette when it is necessary. It was the same when I met Princess Marti during the day. What can I say, I feel like she knows well when etiquette is necessary and when it is not."

"Ahem."

"I don't think it's a special compliment, but why are you shrugging it off... "

"It's a compliment, right? It means understanding the situation well."

"Is that how it works?"

"Ahaha. It's a compliment."

So Asil, I, and Flora spent the night chatting randomly.

Even at the academy where I spent half a year, we were in different rooms. It had been a very long time since the three of us had slept together in one room like this, so we seemed less excited than usual.

In the end, we didn't fall asleep until long after it was completely dark outside.

?

"Hwaaaaam... "

"You seem very sleepy."

"Eup, sin, I'm sorry!"

Because I slept too late last night, even though it was morning, I was still yawning when Luca suddenly appeared, and I was surprised.

"Did I have a bad night's sleep? I should tell the maid to prepare some decent bedding in the guest room as well."

"No. No! On the contrary, I enjoyed it so much that I felt awkward and had trouble sleeping."

"Okay? Well, the other two are fine."

If Luke Agai were to say a word, it was clear that she was the prelude to a downward spiral from the top of the maid to the bottom.

I was heartbroken as I barely managed to preserve the peace of the Marti family maid.

I don't know if I should call this a blessing, but the fact that I was the only one who seemed sleepy added credence to my words.

If I wonder why I'm the only one who seems sleepy, it's because Flora, an upright living girl, started dozing off after her usual bedtime and went straight into dreamland.

And then, only I and Alsil remained, and we talked together for a while.

Asil, who slept late at the same time, fell into a deep sleep and fell asleep alone, leaving me alone with sleep deprivation.

It's unfair.

"By the way, may I ask what brought you here?"

"Ah. "I want to see your face one last time, and I also want to hand you this."

Luca handed me three scrolls, telling me to use them on the items I brought yesterday.

At first glance, it was a status scroll. A disposable item that briefly displays the status window of an item or person.

I accepted the scroll with a thank you, but at this point, a creeping suspicion arose.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Since I had already given out three warehouse vouchers, I had already received ample compensation for my Academy investigation request.

However, he let me sleep overnight, and now he even hands me items directly.

No matter how you think about it, it was too much of a treat.

Based on what I had figured out about Luca's personality so far, it seemed like she would be okay, so I directly asked her this question.

"May I ask why you are so kind to me? "I have already received sufficient compensation for the request."

"What? Ahahaha!"

Then Luca started bursting into laughter as if he had heard something very interesting.

Luca, who had been laughing for a while, said, wiping away the tears that were slightly leaking from laughing so hard.

"Haha, hehe, hehe, ah, it's been a while since I laughed so hard. This alone is worth the scroll. But what were you worried about? I was wondering why his expression was strange."

"I guess that's a bit... "

"Don't worry. It's like a gift to just get along well."

After saying that, Luca looked around and continued speaking.

"When I looked at the magic tool I recovered last time, it wasn't an ordinary magic tool. If I had asked a normal adventurer, I would have never dreamed of success."

What Luca said was right. As I said last time, even though there was Asil who was resistant to hypnosis, it was quite close.

"But I think I'll be taking on a few more cases like that in the future. It means asking you to take care of me then as well. "Understand, right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Ah. And even if it's not a request I did myself, if you have something similar, send it to me. "If you think it will be helpful to my research, I will compensate you in my own way."

With those last words, Luke waved his hand and walked away.

Hmm, so that means I could get caught up in something similar again, right?

That... Hmm... A little...

Is it the worst?

It is very welcome that information about large-scale events such as Hypnosis Academy is flowing in.

I also knew that excessive hospitality is not the type of thing to eat and drink.

"Yes? So what are you talking about?"

"Oh, I'll explain it to you, so listen carefully."

After explaining to Asil, who still had a question mark as if he didn't understand, the content of the conversation I had with Luca a little while ago, we left the Marti family.

———-

"Did you go?"

"I'm gone."

In one of the rooms of the mansion overlooking the mansion's garden, Luca watched the Soiras leaving.

The way they talked about various things and joked around with each other was no different from ordinary girls their age.

Silen was sitting in front of the table behind Luca, who was looking at them with eyes that could not tell what was inside her.

Once the Soiras were completely out of sight, Lukea turned around to face Silen.

"So, can you tell me now? Why do we have to do this?"

The reason for Luca's kindness to Soira was true, but it was not the whole reason.

As she said, her intention was to build friendships so that she could receive requests in the future.

However, for that purpose, the princess did not need to move herself.

Even if she doesn't move directly, there are a ton of ways to show her favor.

Nevertheless, there was a good reason why Luke moved his busy body to face Soira.

This is because she had a request from Silen, a princess of the Duke of Lame and a childhood friend who was her equal.

The fact that Silen encountered Soira yesterday was purely a coincidence.

While she was enjoying tea time with her childhood friend, she did not expect that Soira would come to use her ticket.

However, when she faced Soira, Silen began to become obsessed with her, knowingly or unknowingly.

She accepted it because it was a childhood friend's request, but Luke was wondering why she had to do this.

"It was necessary."

"So what is the need?"

"Hmm... "

Silen thought for a long time, which was unusual for her, and then spoke.

"... Persimmon?"

"Gaam?"

Luke asked back, dumbfounded that the only answer that came out after much thought was a sense.

"I feel like I'm going to do something amazing in the future... "I feel it."

"What does it mean to be awesome? What, you think even the devil would beat him up?"

"Umm... Umm... "

Silen fell into long thoughts again.

Ugh, Luca just sighed at the now familiar exchange.

Although they had been childhood friends for a very long time, this aspect of Silen was still extremely frustrating.

She knows and feels something, but she has no words, so she can't convey it properly.

As a princess, it is said that she behaves properly when she acts as a knight commander, but it was difficult for Luca to imagine her.

It made her wonder how a girl who couldn't even communicate properly was dating.

'... Thinking about it makes me a little annoyed.'

Silen Laim, the eldest daughter of the Laim family and leader of the White Falcon Knights, had a lover whom she had been dating for several years.

That was the last one of my childhood friends, Barei.

One day, when she heard that the two were dating, she was so surprised that she poured out all the tea she had been holding.

Until then, Silen had not even shown any signs of liking Barei, so it couldn't have been a really unexpected BSS to Luca.

A strange childhood friend triangle formed after that.

No, it was more like a relationship where the two were happily dating and Luke was alone, clenching her handkerchief with his teeth.

After thinking about this love triangle, Luke completely forgot about the thoughts she had about Soira that had been in her mind just a moment ago.

Is being an adventurer with a suspicious future important now? The greatest enemy of your life is right in front of you!
