Chapter 54 – Bathes in the Moonlight With You ♥
Translator: Erothur
With the future plan for Barzelion contingent is pretty much arranged, as a way to returning his appreciation for the food and lodging, Renya and Elvira keep on working hard in thinning the monster and magic beast that lives around the village as usual.
Even if they don’t mean danger to any dragon living in the village, there are still some daredevil that tries to prey on the dragon’s livestock from time to time. Rather than touching their reverse scale (a dragon weak point) this conduct provokes the dragon’s anger even more. When Renya heard about that story, Renya feel that he is one step closer into understanding the temperament of the dragons in this world. (straight up glutton lol)
They are, for the better or the worse, are honest. And there is also a tendency for them to follow their instinct.
There are some dragons that grow wiser as they pile up their ages, but let set that aside from now. Anyway, for the dragons, no matter how much meat they have, they won’t feel troubled at all. Because they mostly live in the ravine between mountains or to say it simply, living in a place with high alt.i.tude, they can easily collect ice from the mountain summit to make a cold storeroom. And with those cold storerooms, it was not impossible for them to maintain big reserves of meat.
G.o.d, just how much you guys like meat anyway. Renya feel like screaming that when he heard about it. But even so, he still helps them hunt some monster and offer the meat to the village. After he done his work for the day, he quickly go to the room he was a.s.signed for to have a short rest but at that time, a reserved knock could be heard from his room’s door and after that, Elvira enters his room.
“Renya-sama, if it’s alright with you, would you like to join me having some tea?”
“Is that the one you brew Elvira? Seems good, alright then I shall have some”
“Yes” As Elvira reply Renya confirmation with a bashful expression.
She then gallantly starts preparing the tea.
The tea leaves that can be harvested around the dragon village have mild acidity and the tea made from it is easy to drink. It should definitely because the difference way in cultivation method and the land where it planted but unfortunately for Renya who doesn’t have that much knowledge about tea, he can only give a common impression of delicious.
The two face each other while silently enjoying their tea.
The reason for the long silence is not because they both get awkward and unable to find a topic to talk about but rather because between the two of them, they don’t need words to convey their feeling or such kind of similar atmosphere can be felt from them.
Seeing Renya who enjoys her tea with much satisfaction, Elvira gives out a happy smile. And when Renya looks at her enchanting smile, he returns a gentle gaze to answer her. Such atmosphere is like those that can be felt from married couple that had spent a long time together. And there is no one who is rude enough to ruin such atmosphere for them.
Floria is busy with helping the dragon with removing the altar where the stone monument was placed before. Brenda and Therese are also occupied with reading the dragon tribe’s precious book collection so they have been frequenting the village’s archive. That is also what ‘no one who is rude enough’ from before also meant because currently, in the Blackford’s residence, only the two of them present.
But even so, the two present now are a couple of adult man and woman. Keeping their silence all the time would be bad so Renya, with the chance of asking more tea, naturally open up a conversation.
“By the way when I looked at Ard’hel a while ago…… he seems to be in a very high spirit”
“I-indeed…… Father was frolicking too much without considering his age…… I am terribly ashamed”
“It just shows how much he worried about you being unable to find the right partner right? I think he is a good father you know?”
The scene that Renya imagined before inside his, the [How dare you trying to marry my daughter!] sort of kind situation end up not happening in the end which made Renya feel relieved. Of course it was not in a meaning where he would get oppressed by his opponent (future father in law) intimidation but still it would become quite a ha.s.sle if it did happened. If it comes to a war of words, he realizes that he himself isn’t quite fluent in the art of conversation so he had no confidence in coaxing his enraged future father in law if it did happened.
“My mother pa.s.sed away soon after she had me so Father has been spoiling me and my elder brother in a deep affection. And even I don’t expect that elder brother would accompany me in my journey before”
“But what happen to his family? …… Will they be alright being left for so long like that?”
“The dragon kin has a long life span after all. And when I started my journey, his daughter is already old enough to not cause him trouble if he left”
And she also said that her elder sister in law understands her elder brother worries so she doesn’t seem to have any problem with Deen accompanying his sister journey.
“But then again, after I come to your side Renya-sama and elder brother finally can come back home, elder brother’s family has been clinging very close to him and not letting him go”
“So how is Deen-san’s family structure feels like?”
“It was only elder brother, his wife elder sister in law, and his daughter. His daughter is strong just like elder sister in law. She is still young and yet she already distinguish herself in the art of the martial”
“…… In the end, aren’t the women of the dragon tribe just commonly stronger than the male?”
“As a race, we don’t have such kind of unique trait printed in our genes but…… the tendency in the whole tribes seems to be leaning that way. I even heard that father just can’t win against mother in the past……”
“Elvira seems to inherit her mother traits to eh……”
“Uhuhuhu, we don’t have a picture of her so I don’t know but according to my father and elder brother, they said that we are pretty similar”
“I see” As Renya nods back to what Elvira said.
Suddenly, Renya thought of something that bothers him after hearing Elvira’s story so he just casually asks it.
“By the way, Elvira, just for the sake of reference though, but…… how strong is Deen-san’s wife compared to him?”
“Of course she is stronger. I heard that elder sister in law fallen in love with my elder brother because even though he is losing, he kept persevering and won’t let his spear go until the very last”
“Courting by fighting?”
“Yes. Elder sister in law at that time declares that she will marry whoever can beat her in a fight. I also heard that she made that declaration even when she knows that there are no groom-to-be male dragons close to her age that can beat her”
“Ooo…… such a valiant woman. The dragon tribe really has a lot strong women”
Renya suddenly had a fearful imagination. In this kind of situation, with just one wrong step, won’t this tribe become those kinds of typical Amazoness tribe?
“Actually, when I heard the story, I was doubting whether elder sister in law don’t want to marry when declaring that at that time so I ask her about it once in the past”
“Well, that should be the common impression you get from that. Because even I also think like that right now”
“Right? But when I ask her about it, her answer is [I was just searching for any dragon that has some backbone in them that even if he know he would lose, he still wouldn’t give up until the very end]”
“…… So from that logic she finally chooses Deen-san right. Be it your Sister in law or be it yourself, the dragon tribe really had a hard time in finding a good groom”
“Probably, that is indeed like that” Elvira nods gently when she answer him. A charming smile can be seen in her face.
They keep on chatting with each other under the gentle atmosphere until they realize that it was almost time for dinner and at the same time ends their private tea time party.
It almost the time for the others to come back too so Renya stands up and start going to the living room to greets them but at that time, he suddenly felt a tug from the back in the hem of his clothes.
He then turned his gaze back toward the source where he saw Elvira who is hangs her head low while pinching on the edge of her clothes.
“…… Renya-sama, that is…… it is about the matter tonight”
Even when her word sounds very frail, it still manages to delivers the strong conviction contained within it. Renya then do a silent nod to answer her straightforwardly.
“Of course, so tonight…… what is it?”
“…… In the deepest part of the hot spring area, the open air family bath…… I will wait for you there”
“Is that…… the so called date invitation, no?”
“…… Yes”
“I understand. Of course, gladly.”
‘Was my answer good?’ While Renya worries about such thing, he still managed to gives his answer to Elvira’s invitation.
And then more or less, they tried to gloss up over that conversation but Renya and Elvira keep on being absent minded while having their dinner after that.
◇
Late at night.
Under the clear sky devoid of any cloud, Renya is waiting for Elvira to come in the dim litted open air bath.
Of course he already had an inkling of what going to happen. The fact that this invitation is not just any ordinary date invitation that is.
It just that, in the end, the one who make the first move is again from the girls’ side. He somewhat feel a bit pathetic toward himself.
(Being inexperienced at such time really is really irritating)
(Eros: no, you are just a chicken, like me lol)
To charge straight ahead and be frank with his desire to ask for her permission while maintaining the good mood is an act that is hard for Renya to do yet. He can already do sham s.e.xual hara.s.sment where he won’t offend his partner but, to cross that line, he unconsciously always waited for the girls’ side to made their action first. He realized it and he also feel pathetic to himself because such situations keep on continuing.
Even now with Elvira, he already thinks that their heart had already opened up with each other but he can’t be decisive with it and dragging on and on, keep missing the timing, and in the end creating such an awkward situation like this. Yes, he already aware with all that.
(…… But I can just keep on brooding on that matter now right?)
That kind of act is exactly the one impolite act that will hurt Elvira who had mustered her courage. With that in mind, Renya steels himself.
And just when he finished resolving himself, he heard the sound of the door opened silently. From there, Elvira who looked a bit nervous, clad in the bathing suit, finally appears in the open air hot spring.
“…… Renya-sama?”
“Aa, I’m here”
Elvira shows a relieved expression hearing Renya’s voice. She then approaches him and sits down beside him.
The two of them are now sitting in the edge of the hot spring while only dipping their feet inside. If he looks up, he will saw a beautiful night sky decorated with the moon and the stars. Be it the location, be it the situation, both of them are totally perfect that even Renya would doubt this to be just a hallucination.
Rather than the dim light illuminating the open air bath, the moonlight shines brightly from the heaven above is shining upon Elvira’s sensual body under the see-through bathing suit.
Her body seen through the wet bathing suit should have been something he had seen before but why did he feel that she looks more suggestive now. He feels that she is too beautiful just like a perfect piece of art where he feel unworthy of even touching.
“You are beautiful”
Mesmerized by the sight, Renya unintentionally whisper that out.
He can’t help but say it, that was the only excuse that he can think of now.
“…… T-thank you for your compliment. This…… don’t feel like your usual compliment and…… I feel a little embarra.s.sed”
“That might unexpectedly be not true I think. Because I know that Elvira is weak when suddenly get approached like this”
“Tha-that is because it is yours, Renya-sama……”
Elvira is saying that in a sulking tone like saying that ‘of course I won’t reacts the same to other men’ and protesting to Renya’s teasing for a bit but of course Renya won’t stop just because of this.
“I wish to see embarra.s.sed Elvira more. I wish you let me see your bare body under that bathing suit”
“Uu…… then…… Renya-sama can…… just take it off……”
“Nu-uh, I won’t lend you a hand. Could you show me when you take it off by yourself? Like when you are trying to showing it off yourself”
“U, uuu…… Bu-but that is…… embarra.s.sing……”
“It’s okay you know, no one else will see. I have already isolated this place with my divine power”
Well, he only worried about Floria peeking them but, he believes that she is not the kind of rude girl that will disturb them.
Well, perhaps… maybe… I hope so Floria.
But even so maybe because her shyness is too big that she doesn’t have the courage to do so ---- or it might be even because she still waiting for another teasing remark from Renya, Elvira just keep sitting there blushing.
(Oookay… this is dangerous… I’m starting to enjoy this!)
From her voluptuous body that is generously exposed and her expression were shy and antic.i.p.ation mixed together, Renya feel that he made another breakthrough invention of the century when he look at this beautiful girl who is looking at him with upturned eyes. He just can stop shivering from it.
“Then, if I do this, would you show me?”
“Ah…… Nn……”
Then they exchanged a transient light kiss.
Two lips just barely touch each other and when she tries to move her tongue in, at that timing, Renya quickly pulls his face back.
“If you want to continue…… you know what to do right?”
“Y-yes……”
“Then Elvira, show yourself up”
With a strong tone which doesn’t sound too haughty, in that kind of moderate tone, Renya tries to give command to Elvira.
But it seems like Renya action hit her sweet spot right in the middle. Elvira’s expression is like in a trance while she timidly takes off her bathing suit.
Her wet bare skin where droplets of water are running according to gravity when combined by the illumination from the moonlight gave birth to an unimaginable beautiful art that is impossible to describe.
Elvira’s expression, the moonlight, and open air hot spring; there are so many option combined together inside this piece of art.
This piece of art can be enjoyed in this moment only because it came from many chance happenings that are piled up together at the same time. This piece of art might never ever come back again for the second time in the future.
“Elvira, come here”
“…… Yes”
“Don’t be that nervous…… well, even if I say so it might be impossible right?”
“Y-yes. That well, I have resolved myself for this but just listening to Renya-sama like this already make me……”
Just by hugging Elvira’s body like this, Renya could feel just how excited she is.
Renya desperately tries to keep his calm to steal the lead but seeing Elvira already drown with the mood like that could he keep on acting tough? Renya honestly doesn’t feel confident for that.
“It’s alright. Don’t worry about anything and expose yourself. And you don’t need to think of it as being shameful either”
“Bu…… but Renya-sama”
“Be honest with yourself, is all I can say to you. Or should I tease you by saying exactly what to do with which place?”
“……… Uuu, I-I under… stand”
“Good girl. But, are you not thinking that the way I say just now is better?”
“H-how could I think of that!!”
“Then…… *whisper whisper* ”
“U……! Th-that is, no, I am not that”
The agitated Elvira is trying to free herself from Renya’s clutch but he already has a good grip on her so he won’t easily let her off.
Renya then gently caress Elvira body that is still stiff from the agitation while at times giving strong stimulation to her. He then states each and every reaction she made by whispering it directly to her ear. Under Renya’s thorough a.s.sault, Elvira can only trembles in a sweet agony.
“Fuaa…… Renya…….shama……”
“Your voice becomes more and more erotic you know? Let me hear it more okay?”
“Nn…… Noo……”
In response to her answer, Renya’s a.s.sault starts to shift from being a gentle caress towards a full pa.s.sionate stimulation. Renya already piled up experience in this so he still manages to keep his calm. Finally, Renya bares his S side out.
It might be that he is already an S by nature but haven’t yet found a chance to awaken. But at this moment, under the guidance of Elvira’s reaction, his S nature had finally awakens.
Whatsoever the reason is, in front of these two who only had their full focus on each other, it just a trivial matter not worth considering.
“Listen Elvira…… *whisper whisper* ”
“Uu~~~!? Re-Renya-sama, that is…… Unh…… while saying such thing…… Noo……”
Just what did Renya said, it was only known to the two of them. What can be said for the rest are that because of the difference in experience, Renya managed to hold the lead until the last in this first time for them.
◇
After that, in the dressing room.
“Renya-sama”
“N, what is it Elvira?”
“…… Let me say it once again, I might be inexperienced but I’ll be in your care for a long time in the future”
“Ah of course, please take care of me too…… Well, I felt like I was getting a bit too carried away at that moment”
“Huhuhu, to say my ‘thank you’ [revenge] for that in the future, it seem like I also have to work hard”
“In what!?”
Just when he thought that the things said when people get married to each other are similar to his previous world, he then suddenly receive an explosive statement like that a moment later. But Renya just feel too happy at the moment that he doesn’t take it in his mind too much.
Author notes: I know I was the one who wrote this but…… get torn off.
And after being restrained oneself this is the result…… maybe?
Rather than Ero depiction I prefer to put more effort in Romcom depiction but then again when in need, I will attack until the just bare line.
And that is my justice!
I already don’t know what am I talking about myself.
Eros: what a sweet soft SM scene. I’m jealous.
