Chapter 45: Calm Yourself

✓Pacify Yourself

"Hmm? The inn?" (Mari)

“Y-Yes. Though the cheap.” (Rifreya)

“ya I taui~.” (Mari)

He took me to his inn.

Hm? Why an inn?

"Well. Let's go in before the people at the inn notice us.” (Rifreya)

Rifreya climbed the stairs while still holding my arm with incredible force.

I just followed in his footsteps.

My head feels light, and my brain is unable to process anything properly at the moment.

He may also be drunk .

He opened the room door at the end, pushed me into the room, and locked the door with his hands behind his back.

I'd say his room is a little better than the one I live in.

Rifreya looks like a rich girl, but maybe that's not the case.

He turned on the lights in the room and sat on the bed.

That swaying and fleeting light accentuated Rifreya's beautiful body.

“...I told you I want to thank you, but..I actually don't have that kind of money.” (Rifreya)

“I understand. In that case, there is no need to force yourself.” (Mari)

“No, I want to thank you. So...uhm...I cannot think of anything other than this..” (Rifreya).

He said this while unbuttoning his shirt one by one.

Under the shirt that she took off hesitantly, there was only a thin skirt.

The lines of*********** which are white and abundantly revealed, and I turned my eyes away.

I didn't expect it to be like this.

I can feel myself conscious at mach speed.

Instead of happiness, confusion takes over me faster.

“Rifreya, I haven't been around this area in a long time. Is this a normal way to thank others around here?” (Mari)

“No...not that normal. But I kind of understand that this has value ... Ah, but I don't have any experience, so uhm .. I don't know if I'll do well ... "(Rifreya)

His eyes were wet as he said this.

His voice, his shoulders, even his fingers were trembling, and even with that, he faced towards me, and invited me as if he had decided himself.

“It is true that it may have value. If it's a guy like you, Rifreya, he'll find out who knows how much gold it is. No, you can't even determine the price.” (Mari)

“A-I don't think there's as much value as you say, but...but I'm glad you think so... Also, it's true that I think it's okay if it's you, Hikaru.” (Rifreya)

She put her fingers on the ropes of her skirt, and closed her eyes.

I sat down next to him and stopped his hand.

“...First of all, I saved you of my own volition.you did not ask me to save you..no, not only that, you can even say I stole your hunt. (Mari)

Hitting an already attacked mob is even considered bad behavior in MMORPGs.

This world is definitely not a game, but there is a need to apply some of that logic to it.

“T-No, I asked my waiter for help, and there is no denying that you saved me, Hikaru.” (Rifreya)

“Then, let's say I came to save you under your call. Does that mean from now on, when people save you, you will continue to thank them in this way? This time it was me, but if it was another man, they would take you without hesitation. Aren't you an explorer? It's almost like prostitution.” (Mari)

“T-Cannot be... A prostitute...!” (Rifreya)

“But am I wrong? Is it different?” (Mari)

I gave him a lecture here when I wasn't even from this world .. is what I think, but I have to say this.

He was an idiot. He has the appearance of someone who is a little intelligent, but unfortunately, he is unwise, thoughtless, and overly self-conscious, and a person who is too kind.

I was always worried about my little sister's courage growing quickly in mind and body, so I couldn't allow a girl like this.

Especially because I'm upset.

“...Because. Also..I think it's okay if it's you, Hikaru... When you emerge from the darkness.you're cool...” (Rifreya).

Rifreya muttered an excuse while looking down.

I must have looked a little better because I saved her life. It was dark too.

The part of *********** confirmed from him who curled up, shook my heart, but I want him to understand this correctly.

“Rifreya, an explorer is a job where you save and are saved. There is no need to owe anything to anyone in every instance. If you want to thank someone no matter what, buying them a meal is enough. ” (Hikaru)

I don't actually know how the explorers operate.

But helping each other on the battlefield that is a dungeon must be the thing that is needed. All we do is hunt. It should be normal for hunters to help each other.

“But but.. please my family tell me that I have to repay the debt..” (Rifreya).

“That's why I'm talking here about how you get that debt back. Returning that debt with your body is the mindset of a psycho. If you want to save an explorer, and let's say that person is a handsome man. What would you do if that person told you that they wanted to repay the debt with their body? (Mari)

"I'll kick them ..." (Rifreya)

Rifreya lowered his head and fell silent just like that.

This kind of convincing is hard. No one knew if he understood the true meaning of the word, and it didn't seem like I was here.

My side that drives my own values to her is stronger here.

“...I am myself a man, so if I were asked if my feelings waver here, I would say it. You are beautiful and charming. But I.. am not happy to receive thanks in this way.” (Mari)

I say this, but I don't know what to do.

He had his head drooped and was completely silent.

I took a deep breath and opened the Status Board.

I need to cool my head too.

(Absience has increased. Even situations like this are being watched.) (Hikaru).

At one point, my real-time audience had risen to over 200,000,000.

This is about 10 times what the recent standard was.

The time I spent with Rifreya was a lot of fun.

It probably has nothing to do with her beauty. I just miss the human interaction.

I'm lonely alone.

I want someone who will laugh with me.

But that's my weakness.

I'm still drunk, and this situation doesn't feel real, but no doubt I'll regret what I did now tomorrow morning.

Rifreya himself is being watched by getting involved with me.

It would trample on his pride.

“...By the way, I have managed to accept my own feelings thanks to you eating with me. If you're going to continue being an explorer, don't do anything like this again, okay?” (Mari)

I don't know if he's really going to change.

But I'm sure my relationship with him will be cut off with this.

He's been quiet all along, but I'm sure he's angry. No one wants to talk like this.

In the end, I might have hurt her with my own selfishness.

But it's fine.

First, we live in a different world.

I just stood up from the bed.

If I just leave, it will be the end of it all.

"…Wait."

…My hand is gripped.
