v1c9 - I am used as a body pillow by a beautiful elf girl who has a bad sleeping habit. So I have to do spiritual training every morning.
When I was told by the guild that they have a job that I could do alone and do it well …… they sent me to a crazy place, but thanks to Lydia, I didn’t have to worry about hunger and I made it to the morning without any problems.
I could have done it, but …… this beautiful elf girl. I wonder if she has a bad sleeping habit.
“Lydia, good morning.”
“Nn …… Mr. Alex. Good morning …… Ehh!? I-I’m sorry!”
“N-No. I’m sorry, too.”
I don’t know what happened, but when I woke up, Lydia was sleeping while hugging my chest, pressing her soft breasts against me.
I’m not comfortable with the situation in many ways, but it would be pitiful to wake her up when she’s asleep …… and while I was thinking about that, Lydia woke up.
“…… Huh? But weren’t we sleeping on our backs and Lydia on this side?”
“Oh, I think you’re mistaken, Mr. Alex? There was only moonlight coming in through the window, and it was pitch black. Oh, never mind that, do you want to wash your face? I’ll make you some water.”
Slowly, Lydia got up from me and was about to go outside to wash her face, so I followed.
Hmmm. It’s quite a problem that I have to ask Lydia to help me even if it’s just to wash my face.
I should probably look for a river or a lake so as not to burden Lydia too much.
“Mr. Alex. What shall we do today?”
“I guess so. There are too many things we need here, so let’s figure out what we need to do first to make up for it.”
“The things we need is ……”
“For example, water. Every time I wash my face or body, I have to ask for Lydia’s help, and I feel bad about that.”
“I-I’ll be fine, okay? The more I use spirit magic, the more …… Um …… the more I can touch Mr. Alex ……”
“Hmm? Sorry. I didn’t quite catch that last part.”
“It’s nothing!”
Lydia was whispering and talking down, and when I told her I didn’t hear her, she turned bright red up to her ears and started to get angry.
……It really is difficult to understand women’s hearts. I have no idea what’s the minefield at all.
I wonder if the right thing to do was to agree with her, although I didn’t hear her clearly.
No, I think that would have been rude …… someone tell me the model answer!
“Uh …… to get back on track for a start, the only other thing missing is maybe clothing.”
“Um, I’m fine with Mr. Alex’s shirt, you know?”
“But, you know …… it’s hard to look around with just one shirt on and nothing else on, and sometimes I can almost see glimpses of various places.”
“Hmmm, I’ve already exposed myself to Mr. Alex as I was born, so I don’t mind now, you know?”
“I don’t think that’s the way it works. Besides, I only have a few of them because I originally put them in my luggage bag as my change of clothes. If something rips them, there’s not much left to replace them.”
I’m sure I had about ten in there, just in case I had to dive into the dungeon for an extended period of time.
I also need another blanket, although it is not clothing ……
If she asks me to sleep with her again like yesterday and what happened this morning happens again …… no, I’ll just have to keep a level head if that happens.
Mm, it’s training. I’ll consider it a training to strengthen my spirit.
“But, Mr. Alex. Practically, I feel that clothing is difficult.”
“I guess so. The only possibility I can think of is to substitute monsters’ skins for cloth, but …… so far I’ve only seen shadow wolves.”
I don’t know why, but when a Shadow Wolf is defeated, it disappears like a shadow and leaves nothing behind.
Therefore, even if you defeat it, you gain nothing, it is just a nuisance.
“Anyway, the guild that sent Mr. Alex here will be in touch with you regularly, won’t they? We had food sent to us yesterday, and as for clothing, I think it would be a good idea to have the guild send it to us.”
“I see …… B-But, wait. I can tell them to send me shirts and blankets, but will they send me those …… women’s clothes and underwear?”
“That’s …… If it’s a woman who will contact you, you can give her the details, my clothing size, etc., and she can send it too, right?”
Well, we’ll think about this when the time comes.
I think Tabitha will contact me, but it could be a different guild official.
After that, we talked about various things, and for the time being, we decided to build walls and moats to the extent that Lydia’s load would not become too great, and then gradually expand the scope of our exploration.
If we expand our area of activity, we might find a river sooner or later, and we might encounter other than shadow wolves …… or rather, animals that can be eaten.
Then, as I did yesterday, I carried Lydia on my back and I shared my magic power while she’s expanding the wall and watering the plants in the field.
After that, I made the field a little wider and got new soybeans added.
The fruit trees are apples and tangerines. In the field, cabbage, potatoes, wheat and soybeans …… They’re usually harvested in different seasons, but Lydia’s spirit magic is really amazing.
“Then, Mr. Alex. Good night.”
“Yeah. Good night, Lydia.”
I ended up sleeping with Lydia under one blanket, as we did last night, and the next day …… I finally heard from the guild.
