Tesh informed us that dinner was ready and guided us to a new location.
I initially wanted to eat with Lupetta together in the bedroom, but since she pissed all over the place there, I made Tesh prepare another room for us. I did like the smell right after she pissed, but it only smelled like mere excrement a few minutes after that.
That is why I didn't want to eat in that bedroom. For better or worse, it didn't seem like I had that kind of fetish.
After we entered a different room that Tesh prepared, food immediately started to be served.
The types of cutlery were also slightly arranged so that even Lupetta, who didn't know the proper etiquette, could eat comfortably.
「I have prepared some good food for you today as well. Eat as much as you like」
「...Unn」
With a slight smile on her face, Lupetta grabbed the knife and fork in front of her.
She started to use her knife on the steak without feeling particularly reserved. I thought that she was a surprisingly tidy person as I watched her stab her fork into the steak and cut it all up into cubes.
Her lower body was occasionally fidgeting as if she was holding in an urge to pee. That might be caused by the contraceptive.
I shot my entire load outside this time since I couldn't release it in her. On top of that, my mood died down after she pissed herself so we did not go for a second round. Yet she still shoved the contraceptive in there and said just in case.
「This is delicious」
「Is that so? This dish is good too, you know?」
「Which one?」
People who eat good food will become happy. Lupetta was pretty much no exception to this rule as her stiff expression changed into a smile right away.
「Lupetta, how long have you been an adventurer for? I don't really know much about adventurers so I'd like to hear more about them from you」
A conversation is the basics of communication. Contrary to my expectations, even Lupetta who comes off as the "cold loli type" really likes to talk about herself.
Since this was a rare chance, I wanted to hear more about people who make a living as adventurers. I mostly just hear about them in rumors and I have never really talked much with one directly.
「Mm…since I was a kid」
Her body is still like a kid's right now but I'm not going to be rude and randomly roast her like that.
「At what age did you start?」
「I don't know. Around five?」
I wonder if the five-year-old Lupetta looked like a Koropokkurru doll. I imagined her to be pretty adorable but I did not get an erection from it. My strike zone is in the two digits. I'm no lolicon.
While I had such thoughts in mind, Lupetta swallowed the steak she put in her mouth and continued to talk.
「My home village was really close to a "field". That's why I have been going in there to hunt magic beasts since I was young. That's how adventurers make money」
Lupetta then stabbed her fork into a slightly bigger piece of steak and stuffed it in her mouth.
As her jaws moved, her eyes narrowed as she smacked her lips.
「You entered a field since you were five? That's amazing」
「*Nom nom*…Mmm…but I was the only one who had magic power in my village. I was the strongest person there」
A simple commoner and a commoner with magic power could not be compared to each other in terms of battle capabilities.
If a commoner with no magic power is a mouse, then a commoner with magic power would be a cat. Since their strength standard is different in the first place, a fight between them would be a waste of time.
A cornered rat can become a cat, and people could also be caught off guard. But that aside, if they fought each other in a direct one vs one, the person that has magic power will definitely win. Even if it's a five-year-old girl.
「Since the lord raised the taxes to prepare for war, my village was already in big trouble when I was born. It's natural for me to work hard when I possess magic power」
「So why are you all traveling all over the place as an adventurer? You wanted to work away from home?」
「…That's part of it. The other part is because the lord seemed to want to draft me into his army so I ran away」
「Ahh, since you have magic power 」
「Yeah」
Soldiers with magic power have many uses since they could use magic. Scouting for sure, but they could also be messengers, healers, night time lookouts, and bodyguards for the generals. If there are only a few of them, you could train their stamina up and form a highly mobile unit. Just one person with magic power joining alone could add a wide range of strategies to the army.
To note, our family pays the people with magic power very well after they are hired as officers. However, it seems that the lord of the region Lupetta lived in was stingy and doesn't really pay his people well. She seemed to have judged that in her case, it was better to leave the village to work as an adventurer and support her village by sending money back.
She said some extreme words like her village was still suffering from heavy taxes even now, and the lord should just hurry up and die in the war. For the villagers, it doesn't matter who the lord is as long as they keep the village safe and the taxes low.
「This salt is delicious too. What a nice aroma」
There was a block of rock salt served on a plate. It was a block of light yellow-colored rock salt the size of a child's fist.
Lupetta took that block of rock salt and shaved it with a grater to sprinkle some on top of her steak.
The flavor of that salt is mild. It's a Nyuneri produced salt that has a faint scent similar to Japanese cypress.
When I was just reincarnated, the smell of this salt always made me feel like I entered a Japanese cypress bath, but I have grown accustomed to it recently.
「That rock salt is from the field of Nyuneri, so you can eat that all the time from now on since you guys will be going in there」
「Really? I look forward to it」
The fog that envelops the "fields" not only spawns magic beasts, it also alters the terrain and the environment inside. For that reason, the inside of a field is almost completely different from the outside.
This is an extreme example, but if there are fields out there that are forever snowing inside, there would be fields that are just plain deserts too. Since the environment and terrain can be that distorted, there are times where humans could find useful minerals and materials inside as well.
In the field near the city of Nyuneri, it seems that you could find lots of that kind of rock salt once you go deep inside.
From history, the city of Nyuneri all started from a base for collecting that rock salt. It expanded into a village, then into a town before becoming the Nyuneri today. The city is now the biggest source of salt supplies in this region that's far away from the sea.
「Lupetta, Did any special products come out of the fields that you've gone into when you were a child?」
「Nope. Things like Nyuneri's salt or the royal capital's mirror stone are rare」
「You can get mirror stones from the field of the royal capital?」
「Yup」
Mirror stones are stones that you make mirrors with. Even an unrefined one can reflect light like a mirror. Their appearance is like rocks that have a reflective coating all around them.
After you use a hammer and a chisel to hammer down the mirror stone's rough surface, you cut it in half with a knife. Then, the cross-section will look like the mirrors from Japan in my past life.
In the continent of Elluo, mirrors aren't something that's produced in workshops. Instead, they are made by breaking up mirror stones.
「I really didn't like that flatland that had mirror stones laying around everywhere 」
Lupetta told me that it's really hard to find your way inside the field of the royal capital since it was a natural maze of mirrors.
「The mirror I used earlier might have been made in the royal capital too then」
The giant mirror that reflected our mating session was of course made from mirror stones too. Even though I kept the knowledge I had in my past life, I never learned how mirrors were made.
Lupetta's face turned red as she cast her eyes down when I mentioned the mirror from earlier.
「Um…I'm sorry…about the bed...」
She was probably referring to how she wet the bed.
If I mocked her or scolded her here, I think she will be dispirited from here on.
「That was you being honest, right? You don't need to apologize for that. The Lupetta who didn't lie was a very good girl」
「...Uu」
「I wanted you to feel good, Lupetta. I was really happy」
I said that while sounding as serious as I possibly could. Then, while she kept her head down, I continued to throw words at her like I was seizing the moment.
It's a good thing that you felt good, it's good to cum, and moaning isn't anything to be ashamed about. I affirmed everything that she was ashamed of and shifted all the responsibility to my doing.
「…Okay? That's why I want you to tell me if you felt good and what makes you feel good」
「T-that kind of…It's embarrassing」
「Why?」
「Because…T-that's like…dirty….Mergin will…hate me too…」
...No, wouldn't Mergin like you more if you were more lewd? He probably would.
I was thinking that but I didn't say it out loud.
I mean, I don't think she will be able to find out anyway if she's going to pretend to be all pure when they do it. From what I know from Lupetta's rants, I can't imagine Mergin to not be a virgin.
「Lupetta. We promised to never leak our relationship to Mergin, right?」
「Yeah」
「Do you think I'll lie to you? Have I broken any of our promises so far? Think about it」
Mergin was released, and I have yet to kiss Lupetta's lips. From her perspective, I have never broken any promises.
「You haven't」
「So rest assured. I absolutely won't tell Mergin. No matter what you do in this mansion, he will never find out about it」
I got up from my seat and sat down next to Lupetta. Then, I grabbed her hand.
Since I felt that she tried to pull her hand away, I put more power into holding it. Then, I stared directly in her eyes. They were silver just like mine.
「You can't show your dirty side to the person that's the most important to you, right?」
「…Y-yeah」
「That's why I want you to show the real you to me since we're only in a temporary relationship, Lupetta. You're only going to be wild when you're in this mansion. Once you leave this place, you're back to the Lupetta who will always love Mergin」
「...Unn」
I repeated the same thing over and over and continued to imprint the idea in her mind.
「Let's make one more promise. I want to see you being honest. If you promise me that, I will definitely keep it a secret. This relationship we have is only in this mansion. You only have to be honest when you're in here. All our secrets will be kept safe with that. In this mansion, there won't be a Lupetta who's like the one in front of Mergin, only a slightly naughty Lupetta who is honest. Okay?」
「...I understand」
「Good girl」
I lightly hugged Lupetta and kissed her forehead while her face slightly turned red.
We made a promise that only I would gain something out of it, but she didn't seem to mind. Maybe her brain wasn't working, or she felt bad for peeing the bed, or she was actually seeking pleasure deep down inside.
I intended to give her the excuse to be guilt-free for going wild in this villa. I will let her know that many times from now on and imprint it into her heart.
After I returned to my seat, we continued our meal.
Perhaps it's because we have drawn the line on our relationship inside this mansion, Lupetta's expression has brightened up a bit.
After that, I heard about how she grew up, how she met Mergin, and the hardships adventurers go through. Sometimes she would also ask me about the city of Nyuneri and I would answer her.
But 60% of our conversation was just her usual ranting. She might see me as someone who would listen to her whine no matter how much she does it.
It was adorable when she tried so hard to casually make me promise her that I will never ejaculate inside of her vagina.
Of course, I rejected it.
