Chapter 203: Feeding and Indirect Kissing

Skipping over the morning spent training Ability Values, the hour hand of the Magic Stone clock passed twelve and entered the afternoon.

As previously agreed, Izay and Ais prepared to go eat fried potato balls with a group.

Of course, it wasn’t just about doing that one thing.

Definitely afterwards, they would casually run off to play in the bustling area.

Just from Tiona’s eager expression, you could tell this much.

Before heading out, they didn’t forget to invite Refia along.

Though the little fairy was ignored during the discussion, this kind of thing was something they never forgot. The bonds between the girls were still very strong, ya know.

……………………

Within the city walls of Orario, today was peaceful as always.

On the roads, many Adventurers heading to the Dungeon could be seen, creating a lively scene. Ordinary civilians without Familial Groups prepared their stores for opening, and carriages continuously came and went.

The azure sky was clear and pleasant, but… In the north, faint gray clouds could be seen moving this way.

Perhaps within today or tomorrow, Orario might experience a heavy rain.

Izay followed the girls around on the streets of Orario, slightly raising his gaze to the sky as if predicting the weather.

Their current location was the bustling area.

To put it plainly, it was the orderly commercial street in the middle of Orario. These kinds of commercial streets were established to some extent in various zones.

Every day, these places were crowded with merchants, bards, visiting travelers, and ordinary civilians who weren’t Adventurers.

As soon as you left the residential areas, the sounds of clamor could be heard everywhere.

The central main road, which couldn’t be seen to the end, was filled with all sorts of demi-human figures. In the back alleys behind the streets where sunlight didn’t reach, these places were also packed with old and strange shops.

From time to time, well-armed Adventurers would walk past on the streets, their tall and imposing appearances quietly drawing the attention of the surrounding crowd.

Among them, Izay and Ais, being members of the Loki Familia, especially caught people’s eyes.

Even though the group of one boy and four girls looked quite young and had striking looks, at first glance, they didn’t give off an impression of strength.

However, the members of the Loki Familia were almost universally known within Orario; no one didn’t recognize them.

Especially the common folk, who found the entertainment activities of Deities somewhat hard to adjust to, usually took “Adventurer stories” as their leisure-time conversation topics.

Over time, they naturally learned more about such matters.

On both sides of the wide avenue, various types of shops could be seen. Walking down the street, Izay accompanied the four girls here and there, holding some uneaten fried potato balls in his hands.

Perhaps it was really a celebration earlier.

For thirty Valis per serving, when passing by a roadside stall, Tiona ordered over ten servings at once, averaging two or three servings per person among the five of them.

And every flavor was different.

Ahead, Tiona and the others chatted enthusiastically about where to go next.

A couple of steps behind, Izay and Ais listened to their conversations while dealing with the remaining fried potato balls together. Their reflections crossed through the shiny shop windows as they enjoyed the fun of window shopping.

“Tiona-san, I think the shops in the back alleys have more diverse styles? And there are a lot of stores…”

Seemed like the topic turned to buying clothes?

“I know, Tione and I often visit a store just around the corner ahead! It’s only a short walk!”

“Eh? The store you often visit, Tiona-san… Could it possibly…”

Refia’s tone suddenly carried a sense of impending doom, but she didn’t get the chance to finish her sentence. After walking just a few steps, they had already turned the corner and arrived in the back alley.

Such a simple question.

The Amazonian-led clothing store.

Could it be anything other than an Amazon-exclusive clothing store?

You see, almost no Amazons buy clothes from stores outside their own race.

Because they don’t feel comfortable wearing them…

Looking at the extremely open clothing store before them, especially the Amazon staff dressed in outfits that barely differed from underwear,

Refia instantly blushed bright red: “N-no! No way am I buying clothes here!”

“Tiona-san, aren’t you going to buy? What a pity… We rarely come here, and I wanted to indulge in some shopping.”

“No problem, Refia is an elf, right? We’ll just go with Ais, okay? Right, Ais?”

Speaking of which, the three who were chatting up front finally turned around to look behind, then…

—!!

“Ais-san! W-what are you doing!?” Realizing the situation behind, Refia immediately screamed, feeling like she had taken ten thousand points of damage plus real injury.

Right before her eyes, the doll-like blonde girl was sweetly feeding each other with someone else, and pink flower halos even appeared around them! (From Refia’s perspective)

In reality, Izay had merely eaten the fried potato balls that Ais couldn’t finish.

At that moment, hearing her voice, the blonde girl’s emotionless expression inexplicably panicked for a brief second.

But the next instant, Ais realized why she should panic?

Seemed… there was no reason?

It only took a moment to regain composure; this fleeting panic disappeared quickly, completely unnoticed by anyone.

Pausing for a moment, Ais tilted her head and tried to respond: “Sharing the fried potato balls with Izay?”

“Hmm, that’s right.” Swallowing all the fried potato balls handed over by the girl, Izay politely wiped his mouth and nodded as if confirming this.

“I noticed that part! But… why did it happen like that?”

“Because… there were too many, and I couldn’t finish?”

Seriously, just for this reason!??

Upon hearing Ais reveal the truth, Refia felt a huge weight lift off her chest at the same time her mindset exploded.

To be precise, she started regretting.

If it was me walking behind, wouldn’t the person enjoying Ais’ feeding and indirect kissing be me?

When they turned around, Refia clearly saw the fried potato balls Ais handed to Izay—it was half-eaten!

Her admired person and the one she viewed as a rival indulged in such intimate behavior right beside her.

Adding these two shocks together, this was the direct cause of Refia suffering the critical hit!

“If Ais can’t finish… Tiona! You really did buy too much! I warned you earlier!”

“Ehehe…. Sorry, Izay, Ais, please forgive me!”

Unlike Refia’s reaction, Tione and Tiona scolded and apologized respectively. They didn’t have any major reactions to this matter.

After all, Amazons were open enough to invite muscular Adventurers home upon meeting.

Although the sisters absolutely wouldn’t do such a thing, the racial concepts instilled in them growing up in their homeland were deeply embedded in their bones.

As long as Izay and Ais didn’t start swapping saliva publicly in broad daylight, they wouldn’t be surprised by it.
