Chapter 355: Making Out with the Elf in the Tavern Corner (Please Subscribe!)

If only Izay hadn’t come, the shop was full of girls, and Ryu thought she could just get through the day.

But just at this moment, he came over!

This caused Ryu to have to multitask while conversing with him!

She had to reply to Izay’s words while also paying attention to her outfit.

Until now, Ryu had never realized that talking to someone could be such a mentally exhausting task.

“Ryu, are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

“…Why do you say that?”

“I feel like your condition is a bit off.”

Izay tried to make his words as subtle as possible. In fact, during their idle chat earlier, he had noticed Ryu acting strangely and became suspicious.

Without mind-reading powers, Izay couldn’t guess what the young girl was thinking, so naturally, he didn’t know about Ryu’s current situation and feelings of shame.

It was because from the start, for some reason, Ryu had been placing her hands between her thighs, tightly closing her long legs and restlessly rubbing them together.

The sound of black stockings rubbing against each other slowly reached Izay’s ears. The rustling sound was like someone breathing into his ear, impossible not to notice.

Especially since the two were sitting side by side on the long seat next to the stairs, allowing Izay to fully observe Ryu’s profile from this angle.

Whether it was her slightly blushed cheeks, her slender waist, or her long legs wrapped in black stockings, everything was clearly before his eyes, revealing her evenly straight leg lines.

One could faintly see her skin that was white with a hint of red.

DNA: Are you calling me?

Izay: …

Izay: No, I’m not.

DNA: Then why don’t you try calling me?

Izay: No thanks! (Black and white panda rejection emoticon.jpg)

As Izay was battling with his DNA, Ryu’s expression momentarily froze, then her face began to heat up.

With her senses, she easily noticed that Izay’s gaze had lingered on her legs. Moreover, the other party seemed to have no intention of hiding it.

This stirred up waves in Ryu’s heart.

If it were any other time, perhaps she would have given Izay a fierce glare to interrupt his actions, followed by a couple of scolding words.

But at this moment… Ryu lacked the confidence to stop him, unsure of how to proceed.

And just now, it seemed like she had been continuously rubbing her legs…

Having no way to respond, Ryu decided to pretend nothing was wrong: “There’s nothing wrong with me… It must be your illusion, Izay.”

“People who have problems usually say they don’t.” Upon hearing this, Izay’s expression became slightly peculiar.

Ryu’s response carried a sense of urgency in covering up.

Moreover, when replying, she instinctively avoided eye contact with the questioner, a clear sign of guilt.

Noticing that the elf had unintentionally avoided making eye contact with him, Izay muttered under his breath.

Seemingly realizing this too, after speaking, Ryu cautiously turned her gaze back.

She took in the sight of Izay beginning to look suspicious (thinking), and biting her cherry lips, gritted her teeth: “That’s… because you’re making me uncomfortable!”

In an attempt to escape her embarrassment and change the subject, Ryu started fabricating lies!

This elf completely ignored the fact that it was her who first attracted Izay’s attention by rubbing her legs!

In the next instant, as her words fell silent, Ryu suppressed the series of strange thoughts rising in her heart and continued speaking.

“Izay, you’ve been leering at my legs… Could it be that you have some strange thoughts about my legs!?”

Increase the intensity!

If Izay felt ashamed and retreated, he wouldn’t have the time to care about her “lack of confidence.”

To avoid exposing herself, Ryu attempted to strike first.

Just like a genius on the brink of social death coming up with a devious plan.

Question: What should one do when almost socially dying while interacting with acquaintances!?

Answer: Make them socially die first!

Comment: Ingenious!

“???”

Izay was stunned for a moment, indicating his confusion.

He didn’t even understand how the topic had shifted from whether Ryu was unwell to him looking at her legs.

But wasn’t his gaze relatively normal?

He always looked at Riviria like that, and Mama-san didn’t say anything…

Or maybe Ryu was more sensitive…?

“There aren’t any strange thoughts, just that they’re beautiful, so I looked a few extra times.”

“—!!”

Facing the question, Izay truthfully answered, feeling somewhat helpless.

Actually, there was also the reason that Ryu kept rubbing back and forth.

But seeing the already deeply flushed face of the young girl, Izay stopped himself from saying the latter part.

This round did not go as Ryu hoped; instead, she was countered by Izay!

Her sense of shame skyrocketed instantly, her pointy ears turning red as well.

“…I-I never noticed before! Izay, you actually have these weird preferences!”

“You! Stay away from me!!”

With her thoughts in chaos, Ryu moved her position in embarrassment, simultaneously kicking him with her black-stockinged legs.

With the wall behind her, Izay had nowhere to escape. After estimating the landing spot of the black-stockinged foot, his face changed drastically, and he caught her kick with trembling hands.

Together with the sensation of soft jade-like touch, came a force capable of sending senior adventurers flying.

Izay’s face showed fear: “It’s not necessary, Ryu. Your kick could seriously injure a regular Level 4.”

“But you’re Level 5, right?”

“That depends on where you kicked…”

His words trailed off.

These four characters perfectly described Izay’s current state.

Regaining some calmness, Ryu glanced over with her azure pupils. Instantly, her cheeks flushed bright red, steam seemingly rising from her head.

She appeared as if her system had crashed.

Meanwhile, Izay, holding the delicate ankle that could fit in one hand, could feel the supple muscles beneath the black stockings. The sensation was akin to touching a cherished piece of jade, irresistible.

And with the enhancement of the black stockings! Super加倍!!

Subconsciously, he kneaded it a couple of times. The tactile sensation transmitted through the nerves back to Ryu’s mind, the warmth of his palm causing tingles throughout half her body.

Yet, it also helped Ryu regain some awareness.

“I-Izay… let go of me…”

Blushing furiously, a voice resembling a coquettish complaint sounded.

Aniya, walking by from the kitchen under Madame Mira’s supervision, saw Ryu and Izay making out in the corner as if no one else existed, indulging in their amorous behavior.

Instead of envy, her pupils ignited with anger!

Correction, flames of fury!

Almost tangible flames threatened to burn the two alive.

Slacking off aside, they were even showing off their affection, feeding dog food, teasing…

Can’t you two act human?!

Izay even touched Ryu’s skin, and in such a sensitive place—a girl’s feet!

Effortlessly achieving something Aniya had failed to accomplish for so many years!

“Ohhh—!!!!!!!”

“This disgusting smell of love is unbearable meow!!!”

“Can these two lovebirds just die already!? Meow!!!”
