345 Episode 340: Makoto Takatsuki Makes His Way To The Fringe Village (First Part)
"Survey of old customs in the peripheral villages?"
I repeat the quest I just asked for.
The location is a room in the royal castle in the Land of Water (Roses).
It is the room of Princess Sofia.
It was me and Lucy who were there.
And the owner of the room, Princess Sophia.
Yeah, that's right. Brave Makoto.
Princess Sophia sits beside me and holds my hand.
"What exactly are the old customs, Sophie?"
Sae-san is biting the cookie.
Princess Sophia turned her face toward Sai-san and replied.
"Aya-san, there are rumors that there are still [raw] [...] [...] customs in the village."
"Raw, wow, that's barbaric"
Lucy sits on the sofa and answers.
You guys are too relaxed in front of the princess, aren't you?
I thought so, but apparently, while I was there a thousand years ago, Saeko and Lucy were immersed in Princess Sophia's room.
Of course, it was the most powerful adventurer in the Land of Water's [Guren's Fang].
Lucy and Saiu had countless achievements in the Water Kingdom, mainly the monster crusade, and they were allowed to give the princess a disrespectful lecture.
(... well, it's actually just a friendly relationship)
That's why Sai and Lucy feel at home in Princess Sophia's private room.
I'm the only one who seems a little nervous about the [Royal Quest].
Brave Makoto? What's the matter with you? You look strange.
And Princess Sophia, who had been snuggling up to me since before.
"No, nothing." It's a direct request from Princess Sophia, so I'll do my best. "
When I said that, Princess Sophia looked sorry for some reason.
"Hero Makoto... it's not like I'm supposed to ask you to be my country's hero..."
"It's okay, Sophia." Makoto is spare time. "
"Yes, yes, if you don't make a request, I'll go somewhere, Sophie-chan"
Princess Sophia seems to have a hard time asking me out.
However, as Lucy and Sai are right, you don't have to hold back.
I was free.
"I didn't have any plans, as you two said." Well then, why don't you stop that sacrificial ritual, Sophia? "
"No, it's okay because we're ordered to do it by the Royal Family of Roses." This request is for investigation only. However, the reason for requesting everyone is that the person who is giving their lives is a problem..... "
Um, did you say [Mizugami-sama] at Shimei Lake, Sophie?
Sae-san asks.
By the way, Lake Shimei is a huge lake in the middle of the water country (Roses).
It is said that its size is more than a fifth of the size of the country of water.
"If you're talking about Mizugami, I know it too." It's a famous story known to the people of the Woodland. It's a monster that has long been said to be the Lord of the lake. "
"Yes, there are anecdotes all over the place that have been raiding the surrounding villages for hundreds of years, demanding the sacrifice of the dead."
Is that really there?
"I don't know... but the current law is to report to the shrine knights in each municipality when the monsters actually appear." It's illegal to give a sacrifice. "
I see.
"However, even if you are a strong monster, such as [Mizugami-sama], you might be attacked by the Temple Knight of the Water Kingdom, Sophie-chan"
Hey, Sai-san.
Maybe that's right, but let's wrap it up a little more in Oblate.
Aya-san ~? That's right, but there's a way to say it!
"Wow, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sophie, don't get angry!"
Princess Sophia is bewildered.
"Leave it to me!" Hey, Makoto! "
"That's right, Lucy."
I understand the request.
Well then, please!
The smiling Princess Sophia is still clinging to me.
Today, it is always closer.
Well, I guess so.
Is it silent pressure on you for not showing your face lately?
Maybe we should do something huggy.
Well then, I'll go.
I put my hand on Princess Sophia's body and gave her a light hug.
"... are you leaving now?"
I shrugged and was hugged back with about twice the force.
Yeah, right.
"I asked you to do it, but I can't help it..."
Princess Sophia closed her eyes and approached us.
(... eh? Now?)
Confused, she was kissed by Princess Sophia.
Quick decision!
I was surprised and let go of my hands, but it was strange not to do anything, so I hugged Princess Sophia again.
And keep kissing.
I waited for a while, but Princess Sophia didn't leave at all.
"Nh... Makoto..."
(W-Well, it's been a long time....)
There was no sign of Princess Sophia taking her lips off.
It would be an honor if it were a manifestation of the will to be loved.
As for me, I like Princess Sophia, and I want to respond to her feelings.

I just looked at it and didn't say anything in particular.
(Why are you both silent!?)
Gee, Lucy and Saul are staring at us like a cat.
Um... I'm scared.
In the end, the kiss from Princess Sophia lasted for more than three minutes.
And after he left me, he fixed up a little messy clothes.
Well then, let's go. Brave Makoto.
"Yes, yes..."
Princess Sofia's long kiss makes her head a little dizzy.
I got up on the sofa and headed to the exit of the room.
"Lucy, Saiu-san. Shall we go?"
"... yes..."
"... finally..."
The two voices are a little low.
When I tried to leave the room in a hurry.
"Lucy-san, Aya-san." I hope for the brave Makoto.
Princess Sophia uttered such words.
What, are you gonna talk to me here? I thought that Lucy and Sae-san's reaction was normal.
"I know." Leave Makoto alone, Sophia. "
"Takatsuki, we're going to fall from the surface. Sophie-chan"
Yes, you two are safe.
…………
I'm not saying anything particularly strange.
I had a strange feeling about my back.
I wish I could predict the future, but today I can't see the "Spirit of Time".
(It's not a bad feeling, though...)
I'm a little concerned.
Well, I can't help thinking about it.
It's been a long time since we had an adventure.
Let's tighten up.
?
? ? Arrive at the fringe village at the edge of the water country (Roses).
The population is about a thousand people.
It was a small village made up of agriculture and fishing.
I used Lucy's spatial transition (teleport) to move.
I also want to master spatial transition as soon as possible.
It only succeeds about once every five times.
And Lucy and I first came to the mayor's house.
As soon as we entered the village, we, the outsiders, were spotted by the villagers and were urged to greet the village chief first.
I had no problem with this because I had planned to do so originally.
All of the houses in the frontier village were small, but among them, the relatively splendid buildings were the houses of the village chiefs.
Upon entering the house, the village chief's wife guided him to the guest room.
"This... is indeed the seal of the Royal Family of Roses." So you're royal envoys? "
The village chief was a petite old man over 70 years old.
I can see through my eyes the emotion of bewilderment.
The young adventurer is calling himself a royal user, so he may be suspicious.
Incidentally, the letter has magic to prove that it belongs to the real Royal Family of Roses.
So we can quickly prove our point.
"Hmmm... if there is still a raw sacrifice in this village..." Is it an autographed document from Princess Sofia..... "
The village chief crushes as he strokes his chin and beard.
I can't tell what you're thinking from the look on your face.
So, what's the point?
I asked straight away.
"Of course, there is no such barbaric custom as sacrifice." Please tell Princess Sophia so. "
The village chief replied with a stubborn smile.
(Hmm, which one is this...?)
Intuitively, it's somehow like a lie.
I became a god tribe by Lord Noah, but I still don't have the ability to read my mind.
I wonder if Fujiyakan would have helped me.
Well, I'll let you stay for a while.
I see. There's a festival tomorrow with Mizugami-san, isn't there, Murakami-san?
Lucy and Sai broke into a conversation between me and the village chief.
"Hmm... but since it's a sacred festival to wish for the prosperity of the village, for outsiders..." Besides, there is no place in this village to entertain customers from anywhere else.... "
The village chief's tone seemed blatantly unpleasant.
Apparently they don't want us to stay.
"I won't bother you in the village. I'm camping on the shores of Lake Shimei."
"But... there are monsters in Lake Shimei at night." As you can see, you are young adventurers. It's better to stay in a safe inn in a neighboring city..... "
It's okay. We're [Oriharkon] adventurers.
She showed the village chief, who was a difficult person, a necklace with a golden glow.
The necklace is engraved with a sacred dragon emblem.
Awarded to Divine Iron (Oriharkon) Adventurers.
... you know, the Holy Dragon is the White Dragon (Mel), right?
I was given the sigil on my own, but do you know who I am?
"Oh, that's right!? You're an Oriharkon adventurer in the Land of Water... but Guren's Fang!?"
"Yes, it is."
Lucy stretched her chest.
The village chief's eyes widened in amazement.
Saiu-san and Lucy looked alternately, and the village chief swallowed the vines.
"I see, I get it. It's a village with nothing, but please take your time."
As I finally gave up, I got permission to stay.
(I wonder if this is the concern of Princess Sophia.....)
Judging from the attitude of the village chief, I guess there was something I wanted to hide.
We stayed a while to explore it.
?
I wonder if it's around here.
That's right.
Lucy and Sao decided on today's campground in a familiar way.
By the way, it is one of the small islands in Lake Shimei, not near the village.
Why are you here?
I'll ask you a question.
Makoto, what if you camped near the village and you were thrown into a tent?
"Hey, sometimes, right, Ru-chan?"
"...... Huh?"
I don't know, but it seems like it could be an exclusive village.
I didn't expect it at all.
Before I knew it, the experience of the two adventurers was amazing.
If I were to dedicate my sacrifice to a monster called [Mizugami-sama], it would probably be done near Lake Shimei, so it was a good place in the sense of monitoring.
Place a tent in a place hidden by trees.
Moreover, it seemed that the [Concealment] magic would be activated if the magic power was cast down.
Lucy poured her magic into the tent, making it as transparent as the air.
If you don't get close enough, nothing seems to happen.
I didn't think I'd have to worry about being attacked by a monster.
We went into a magical tent.
And I was surprised.
Huge! Is this the latest magical tent?
It's a little different, isn't it?
"It's a magical little house (cottage), to be exact." I bought a new one for this adventure. "
Huh? Then you were expensive.
This adventure isn't that rewarding.
Rather, it's a personal request from Princess Sofia, so it's close to volunteering.
"I had some money left over." Sophia lamented that Makoto would not use the budget reserved for heroes at all. "
"Yes, I used to use a tent for two with Haru-chan, but it was old."
"If Makoto is with you, it's better to be spacious." That's why it's new. "
I see. Thank you. Lucy, Saiu-san.
"It's okay." Here, put your luggage around there. "
"I'll prepare the rice."
Lucy tidies up the baggage.
Sae-san cooks in the kitchen provided in the magical cottage.
I'm out of hand. [M]
(Do you want to investigate the purpose of this survey?)
I asked the water spirits to check Lake Shimei for any abnormalities.
But I didn't find anything that bothered me in particular.
The Toyotomi Festival in the village is said to start tomorrow, so if you want to investigate, it will start tomorrow.
While I was doing that, Sae-san finished cooking.
It seems that the ingredients were shopping in the capital of the kingdom of water.
Yes, please ~
Roasted thick meat and fried fish.
The fragrant bucket is filled with plenty of butter and cheese.
A soup with lots of vegetables and mushrooms.
There are other dishes that look delicious.
"It's delicious!"
"If you're Aya's culinary expert, don't you want to open the shop?" It's really delicious, isn't it? "
"Ehehe, there's a change, too."
The dinner was greatly exuberant.
It will be a banquet to the extent that it is not too drunk.
As I was doing so, it got dark around here.
For the time being, I'm going to bed.
Well then, I'm going to take a shower.
Lucy disappeared into the shower.
Yes, there's even a shower room in the magical cottage.
It seems that hot water is produced by magic.
When you turn off the zer, you can hear the water flowing.
Pi-chan, I can hear the sound of the water jumping.
Although it is spacious, it is only one room in the cottage.
The sound of Lucy's shower somehow made her uneasy.
I thought I was going to train in Water Magic... and Po's body weighed so much.
Saeki-san was leaning on me.
Hey, Takatsuki-kun
"What's the matter? Siu-san
"This reminds me of junior high school."
Is that so?
Since before, you can't stand to lie on my lap with your head on your back, or even keep your body on your back.
Somehow it's like a cat.
Certainly, even in junior high school, when she was lying in my room, she sometimes lay in my bed.
But of course, it has stuck to this.
"Fufufufu?"
Sai-san is in a good mood.
He cooked a lot of food today, and I practiced water magic with a little agitation while staying stuck to Sai-san.
After a while.
When the gacha opens, there is a sound of the door opening.
"Aya, the shower is empty."
Lucy came back.
When I saw the current situation where Sai-san was stuck, I turned around, anticipating that she would say something... and I took a breath.
…………
"What's the matter, Makoto?" Make a strange face. "
"Um...... Lucy, that look"
"Isn't it cute? I bought it in King's Landing."
Kuru and Lucy spin on the spot.
Lucy was no longer in her usual wizard outfit.
She was dressed in a super rough room with a short tank top and red mini shorts that could be seen on her stomach.
There is more exposure than usual.
It's not that I'm dressed like a naughty girl, but I'm thrilled.
Well then, I'll go to the shower next time.
Saeki-san disappeared into the shower room with a light footprint.
Soon you will hear the sound of the water flowing.
?
Along with the sound of the water flowing, you can hear Sae-san's song.
I don't feel comfortable.
"Bright mirror stop water, bright mirror stop water..."
I was trying to calm my mind.
"Hey, Makoto."
Lucy hugged me from behind.
Is it because I took a shower, or my body temperature is very hot.
And the soft feel hits your back.
What's the matter, Lucy?
When I was thirsty, I drank a glass of water that was nearby.
I've been talking to Aya a lot lately.
What do you mean?
Lucy whispered in her ear.
"I want Makoto's child."
"Ah!?"
I was about to blow out the water in my mouth.
"Ru, Lucy!?"
What's the matter?
In retrospect, it was Lucy who was nicking as usual.
…………
"Huh? What? Makoto?"
Are you kidding me? I couldn't ask.
You don't have to read your mind.
I'm serious.
However, after that, it was a normal conversation without continuing the topic.
However, it was rather unsettling.
"I'm up!"
"Welcome back, Aya."
Sai-san got out of the shower.
Tiny yellow t-shirt with black spats.
Just like Lucy, it's a rough outfit that I don't usually see.
It's the first time I've seen it, but it's so cute.
but as exposed as Lucy.
It's not nasty.
It was not a dress for going out, it was a full room suit.
"Why are you dressed like that today...?"
I was wondering if you would listen to me.
Well then, let's go to bed.
"That's right, Ru-chan"
Huh?
Lucy snaps her fingers.
Then, the lights inside the magical cottage suddenly disappeared.
For a moment, my eyes were confused by the darkness, but the lights were faintly lit instead of completely dark.
A pale purple light shone through the cottage.
Your eyes gradually get used to it.
At that time, I was hugged by someone.
"...... Makoto"
Lucy.
Before being called by his name and replying, he took (...) his lips (...) and was (...) beaten (...) by (...).
You can hold me like this.
"I can't move..."
Ahh, Ru-chan beat me first
I can hear Sae-san's voice.
"Puhaha"
Plenty of time to kiss Lucy for more than 10 seconds.
"...... Takatsuki-kun"
Without a second to spare, this time (...) a (...) plug (...) was placed on Sae-san's lip (...) (...).
With a stronger force than Lucy, you can embrace her.
"Aya, when you're finished, you'll be in your (...) erotic (...) erotic (...) erotic (...) erotic) relationship."
(Eh...?)
What are you talking about, Mr. Lucy?
But the words were true.
As soon as Saiu-san's lips fell apart, Lucy kissed me again.
And next, Sai-san.
"Over and over again in turns..."
Isn't this a bad idea?
Doing this during a request from Princess Sophia.....
It's okay, Mako-kun.
(Water Goddess (Eil-sama)!?)
The voice of the goddess of water resounded in her head.
(Sophia accepts that this will happen between Lucy and Aya and Mako. Before you left, you said, "I'd like a hero Makoto, right?")
(...... eh?)
No, I did say that!!
But why!?
(That's right. Did you intend to remain a 'virgin' to join the Princess of Roses? Mako-kun)
I heard Eil-sama sigh in awe.
Huh?
Is virginity a bad idea?
Is there such a rule?
(I don't know... but I've never heard of a man with a husband who has no experience with women, even though he welcomes royalty and noblewomen to his wife)
…………
"I've never heard of the goddess of water" is practically "nonexistent".
"I-Is that so..."
So, climb the adult stairs- Mako-kun
The voice of the usual bright water goddess (Eil) rang out.
And in front of her, Lucy and Saiu were staring at us with hot eyes.
"Makoto..."
"Takatsuki-kun..."
I didn't realize they were pushing me down.
There's no reason to resist...... nothing.
- The night was long.
