Morning.
I got no sleep because I listened to Tristan's story, and she also listened to mine about how our former comrades met their last.
Her ice-like expression melted into tears when I finished telling her my story, and I also needed to process her story because it seemed to be absurd.
She told me that she had an idea why she ended up in this world as Isabelle. It was because she activated a magic item she found inside Scylla's body when she was about to die.
After that, she woke up on a beach and got enslaved in the Sin Kingdom. After listening to her, I was mad and about to depart to destroy that place, but she stopped me. However, I remembered the name of that city and her enslavers. Just wait.
The story continued. Because she woke up as a kid with no sex appeal, she was safe from being asked to work in the brothel. She was also smart and could do the math, so she was asked to help the store.
While doing that, she secretly trained. Bow and arrow were impossible to get in that place, but something similar to a sword and many knives was present.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm In that place, she killed her emotions and finally escaped. Although it wasn't a smooth escape, she managed to find a [Teleportation Gem] in the storage and ended up in Academy City because the destination wasn't specified.
So that was why she got that ice-cold demeanor from before. I couldn't blame her at all.
"Maybe I won't be able to smile as much as before, but I feel like opening up again in front of you."
Or so Tristan said before she returned to her cold stare. It didn't look as scary as before because of her cute face and short stature. If I stood Tristan beside Milea, I bet they would look like a sibling.
I only chuckled, let her rest for the day, and checked on Cecil and Garcia after giving her a kiss on the forehead.
Tristan's reaction was funny. Her face was tinted red while she pursed her lips, imitating a kid who was left by her father to go to work.
When I arrived in Garcia's room, I noticed both of them were holding their own breasts, and Garcia looked rather serious, looking at Cecil.
"You should twist it like this if you want to produce milk. Look, it's squirting."
"I see. That's interesting."
Garcia imitated Cecil's motion as she squeezed her breasts. But unlike Cecil, there was no milk squirting from her nipple.
"…"
I was speechless as it seemed like the perverted nun wanted to lactate and asked the minotaur girl to teach her. There was no way that could happen, no?
"Cough."
I faked a cough and closed the door behind me to announce my presence. Both of them turned to me and gave me a different reaction.
"Oh, Sir Arthur! Please forgive my unsightly appearance. I tried to learn how to create milk, but it seems I cannot."
Garcia spoke honestly without hiding anything while fixing her clothes. She just needed to pull the loose clothes dangling on the side back to the front, and she was done.
As for Cecil, she smiled playfully as she stood up, putting her hands on her hips as she let milk drip down her breasts without wiping them.
"Do you want to drink milk again, boy? It's still fresh from the source." She said as she puffed up her chest, causing her massive breasts to bounce.
"Not now."
I shook my head. Cecil looked disappointed at her failed attempt to tease me, clicked her tongue, and wore her red bikini again.
Smirking, I took out two [Teleportation Gems] from my inventory and approached Garcia.
"Can you return to Academy City first with Cecil, Garcia? I feel like trouble will come if we don't leave shortly and I still have something I'd like to check."
Garcia first looked at the gems in my hands before nodding and taking them without question.
"Certainly, Sir Arthur. Do you need anything else?"
"Great. You can also show Cecil around. I am counting on you, Garcia." I patted Garcia's head, and she purred happily.
Then I turned to Cecil.
"I hope you can get used to the Academy City fast. If you want a house for yourself, just tell Garcia about it. I will give your treasure back after you settle in, okay?"
"That sounds too good to be true." Cecil laughed merrily. "But I guess that's a given, huh? Mr. Paladin."
"Your attempt to tease me is useless, Cecil. I just played along in the past to get close to you."
"… The fact you said it like that makes you sound like a jerk."
"But you said you like me, Cecil." I returned to my act of an innocent boy, and Cecil's lips twitched in disgust. "See? Now that you know what I really like, that act sounds disgusting, no?"
"You're right…" She heaved a sigh. "You're way better right now. And you can satisfy me more when you're not acting." Her face blushed slightly as she looked away from me.
Garcia looked between Cecil and me repeatedly before smiling brightly. From her look, I knew she planned something, but I could rest easy if the one who had a plan was Garcia. She would definitely plan something to make me happy.
After giving Cecil a few hundred Gold Coins as an allowance, I left them and headed back to Tristan's room.
Unlike when I entered Garcia's room, I knocked properly this time. Our relationship with each other was closer than what I had with other people, but Tristan wasn't my girl yet. It was more like we were best friends than lovers, even though we said we loved each other.
'I need to get her answer first.'
The answer I was waiting for came shortly in the form of a cold voice.
"Just enter, Arthur."
I smiled wryly and pushed the door open. Inside, Tristan stood in front of a mirror, looking at her green-leather armor. She spun around slightly, causing her white skirt to flutter.
She held a beautiful white bow in her left hand as she struck a pose of pulling the bowstring while pointing it at me.
"What do you think?" She asked coldly.
"It's nostalgic," I closed the door and replied with a wry smile. "[High Elves Tunic] and [Yggdrasil Bow]. It's good to see your archer equipment again."
"I can't use it before as I haven't reached Level 90 as Isabelle." She spoke in a sad tone and lowered her bow.
"And I almost can't use anything in my inventory as I already discarded almost everything before going to the dungeon. That's why I needed 2 years to run away."
"Understandable." I nodded and approached her. "Are you ready to return to Academy City now? If we stay a bit longer, I feel like the kingdom knights will knock on our door to ask for an explanation. I'd like to avoid that and…"
"And?"
"I wanted to show you something, so returning with [Teleportation Gems] is not ideal."
"Ah…" She exclaimed with an understanding tone. "We use that thing? It's been a long time since we rode that together."
"Yes. How is it?"
"Sure. You're my superior, and I can't return alone because of my new appearance."
Tristan flicked her hair back and looked straight into my eyes.
"So you need to explain it to them, leader."
"You just called me a leader for troublesome things, as always."
I huffed and opened the window of our room. It faced straight against the sea, perfect for our destination.
"Prepare a lot of arrows, Tristan. Our destination will be filled with monsters."
"Okay." She nodded and took out a quiver, slinging it over her shoulders. "I am ready."
I smiled at her, took out my vehicle, the magic carpet, and jumped on it. Tristan followed closely from behind and crouched beside me, holding her bow tightly in her left hand.
"Let's go. To the World-End Waterfall."
