The Marquis’ Eldest Son’s Lascivious Story

We set our backs on Mount Miyama Elektion, which swung north, and walked toward a distant, foggy world and field.

The fields vary in size, some to the extent of the city square and others to the extent of the aristocratic territory. Lie or true, it is said that there exists even in the so-called foggy land of the northern part of the Elo continent a field with a small size.

The field extending south of this destination, the city of Newnelly, falls into a large category among the kingdoms of Levios. When I detour from the northernmost part of the field to the southernmost part, I hear it's big enough to take a whole day or so on a horse.

I've never ridden a horse, but I just kind of figured it out to be pretty big.

The view in the direction of travel became foggy when we took a little around the noon.

"That."

Rupetta says small.

There is an overwhelming presence in the white mist that spreads wide in front of you.

The fog in the field moves its boundaries like a full ocean pull, but the field itself never moves anywhere as it is.

I've never seen anything called the ocean myself, but my grandfather, who was in his hometown, also called the field the White Sea.

Probably when it's full of fog, it's a point where you don't get into the field. There were a number of simple huts and tents surrounded by fences, with military flags flying. It's a military base.

It was a simplified pattern rather than a formal crest that was painted on the military flag, but you can quickly see where it is.

Snakes tangled in crossing spears and blisters reminiscent of torrents in the Great River. I've seen it many times in the interview room. It was the crest of the Qualdenze family.

Rupetta's decent index finger stands perfectly, pointing to the military flag. I don't know where the hell she got the information, but they're also supporting adventurers entering the field outside of Warcraft Alert duty at that base.

"Rupetta. Are you sure you're okay? You wouldn't get caught again, would you?

When I said that, my people opened their mouths so they could get caught.

"Even with the information Mr. Rupetta got, you're scared to get a little closer to the military...... Mr. Melgin had a rough time, didn't he?

"Right. I don't know what happens this time if I get caught again. You had a rough time when Mr. Melgin was caught, too, didn't you?

"Melgin, you didn't get released inside the other day, did you?

"Yes, I am."

I've been detained as soon as I got into Newnelly City, and we're very alert to the Qualdenze army. I don't even know if I'll be released this time if I get caught again. To be honest, I didn't want to get involved.

Suddenly when a group of six magical adventurers like us get close to the base, they think it's a raid and they're going to arrest us.

"Information I asked a decent person. It's okay."

... who the hell asked. When I thought about it again, it felt pretty suspicious.

Rupetta can't be flattering or sociable, and she's the kind of person who gets acquainted. I don't think I can get that information in Newnelly City I don't know.

"... who asked that? Is he really trustworthy?

I was jealous enough to be horrible myself, and I accidentally spilled it in my heart.

I just imagined Rupetta talking to someone I didn't know... intimately with a guy, and my chest gets upset.

I felt profound regret for throwing words that might have been received so that I didn't trust her.

"....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... I heard it when I picked up Merguin."

"Really..."

Rupetta doesn't even try to look at me, she says in a voice that seeped discomfort.

I've been acting with her for a long time, so I can see her emotions just a little bit. This is not anger, it's the voice color when everything is disgusting.

Oh, I did it again.

Why would I say this when I trust Rupetta more than anyone else in the world?

"Anxiety? Then I'll go alone. Wait."

"Huh? Ah...!

Without waiting for this reply, Rupetta returned the quizzes and began walking towards the base.

I don't even care about the five of us who can't keep up with the sudden behavior, Rupetta's back goes away.

"Um. Mr. Melgin? I don't want to go. If Mr. Rupetta says he's going, maybe I can leave it to him?

She posed like you, Deanna said.

I've been working with Rupetta for a long time.

Originally an adventurer in the Duke of Spierzeik, we moved our base of activity, caught in the beginning of a good atmosphere of conscription and the adventurer preferential policy in the King's Capital.

However, the visiting capital was overflowing with adventurers and was not very fruitful.

After working for a while and selling his name in the Wang capital, he began to travel again for the Marquis territory of Qualdenze, but it was the Deannas, the newcomer adventurers, who met him along the way.

Older and leader woman, Deanna.

Boy with a rough vibe, Tonitol.

A man with mild words and deeds on his eyes, Faucon.

Not very self-assertive boy, Semkus.

Deanna and Rupetta, me and Faucon are the same age, the rest are younger.

Deanna, who found out we were headed to the field in Newnelly City, came close to asking me to join her.

Amazingly, the Deannas were all magical.

"Ha..."

I exhaled small to keep Deanna and the others from noticing me.

I now regret that I brought the Deannas into my crew back then.

Rupetta, who basically doesn't like strangers, suddenly showed a sense of rejection for having as many as four more friends.

I forcefully persuaded Rupetta that if four magicians were added, it would be more active than ever, but my true intentions were different.

My heart. I wanted Rupetta to turn around.

"Deanna and the others will wait here. You can't let Rupetta go alone."

After making sure the four of them nodded, I chased Rupetta walking ahead.

I jumped out of my hometown village because I was only seven years old.

It's something I could do because I'm magical, but I'm surprised I could even come to the Duke of Spierzeik territory far from my hometown that year.

Though I deserved it, I had no parents and had nothing to rely on. I had trouble living right away. Eight years old at the time of his arrival in the Duke of Spierzeik. I'm old enough to help my parents with their work and learn how society works.

It was Lupetta, two years older, who happened to meet and burn my care that led me to become an adventurer to harness my magical powers.

How to fight warcraft, how to walk the field, handle weapons, how to use magic well, how to sell the demon stones you get, how to avoid interrogation by the military, how to read and write letters, how to deceive taxes...... She taught me something I couldn't count.

Sometimes Rupetta was taller than me back then, and she looked like a big, dependable back.

When did you become aware of Lupetta, who admired her like a sister, as one woman? I only remember that the thrilling thing about her smile that made me smile was the beginning of this thought.

I began to have complicated thoughts about being treated like a brother by Rupetta, something that has happened since my love sprouted.

While I feel relieved by the unchanged relationship, a rush arose for not being seen as a man.

As I saw Rupetta as one woman, I wanted her to see me as one man, too.

I can't wait to hear about Rupetta, but all that came out of my mouth was the exact opposite of it.

When I was a kid, I remembered using magic to break furniture to buy my mother's interest. I wasn't growing anything.

I added the Deannas to my crew because it was selfish behavior. I wonder if Rupetta would turn around if I named her more as an adventurer, or if she would look at me as the one man I could count on... I had that intention.

It is precisely the end of the line because the smile has diminished from Rupetta because of it.

Walk on a small run and catch up with Rupetta.

You can tell from behind, but Rupetta is very small. I chased him out a long time ago.

But I didn't think I could have been a man big enough to rely on her.

"Rupetta"

"... Merguin?

Rupetta's eyes, looking back at this one, have tears in her eyes.

I was struck by the feeling of being able to tighten my chest with wilderness rope. I feel sick and I feel nauseous.

"Ah...... rupetta...... The..."

I need to apologize for what I suspected... but the thought instantly disappeared.

The tiny, trembling mindless rupetta was so beautiful that it took everything of my thought away from my head...

I'm glad I couldn't think of anything. If I did badly, I almost hurt myself by throwing another word on Rupetta that wasn't in my heart.

Lately, I've been rampant enough to sneak up on myself. Especially since he was released from an investigation into the Qualdenze army.

Rupetta doesn't really like baths, she doesn't wear makeup at all, and I only wipe her face when I give her a wet cloth. That's why I don't really notice people, but they actually look very neat.

Basically when a faceless rupetta makes me smile like a flower all the time, it's so fascinating that I want to hug and push it down.

I'm the only one who knows how beautiful she is, her best smile that can be directed only at me. That had comfortably satisfied my appetite for exclusivity in me.

But when I was released, Rupetta was incredibly clean.

Did you carefully wash the clothes that were dirty to mud and dust, or they were so clean that you thought they were brand new? The skin was polished without any dirt, and the hair, which had always solidified in blush with fat, depicted a deep blue color that flowed down beautifully and was full of elegance.

It was as if I mistakenly saw it as an aristocratic maid.

I was supposed to be the only one who knew how good Rupetta was so far. But the cleaner Rupetta made the men on the road look back one after the other. The feeling of the monopoly craving that had been fulfilled spilling, and the impatience of losing her, burned my heart twisted.

From the desire not to show that to another man, he said something worse than ever, like it's useless to clean it up, not to look like a rupetta, and made her look sad.

I felt sorry for my weak-minded self, who could only treat me that way, and above all, I was sorry for Rupetta.

Rupetta didn't even move on my bad mouth like that, and she's been beautiful ever since.

I don't know how Rupetta behaves because the inn is different, but she seemed to bathe properly and always smelled good. When I noticed, I was following her with my eyes, and the days went by when my gaze turned away in a hurry.

I don't know why the hell Rupetta became aware of cleanliness, but if that was for a man relationship, for a man other than me to see... I could go wrong.

Honestly, ever since Rupetta transformed, I feel like I'm too hot to be in love. Just think of a man who's only imaginary, and he's about to unwittingly unleash his caged magic.

"Do you want Melgin to come with you?

Rupetta says as she wipes her face with the sleeves of her clothes. I don't think you should ask me about what I was crying about.

I also decided to snort in silence because I don't want them to hate me for saying extra things.

"Ugh, yeah."

I accidentally replied childish, but Rupetta smiled just a little.

"It's been a long time since I've had an honest Merguin. Glad."

"Rupetta......"

Rupetta turns this bright smile on me just to be honest.

I was glad to hear that. I was really glad that she hadn't spooked me yet.

Moving in line for a while, you must have noticed what we looked like, the soldiers noticed this way.

As we walked toward the entry-like location of the base surrounded by fences, we were not particularly able to point our spears at them, but were able to stay close.

"Are you an adventurer? That's a face I don't see much..."

"Oh. We're new here. I heard here adventurers can get support, can you tell me where to go? I'm going to be on the field."

The soldier peered into me and Rupetta's face with a convinced face. It's probably one of my tasks to remember the adventurer's face, but I feel like I have a long time to peek into Rupetta.

I knew I shouldn't have let Rupetta go here alone.

"Go around there and you'll see. Go for it."

"Okay, thanks"

Quickly thank you and move on. When I went to the place the soldiers told me, the open-air city was open.

The merchants who paid for the place to the military seem to be opening the city to their liking, and they looked a lot like pedestrians.

It seems that the purchase of demon stones within this base is exclusively carried out by military-approved merchants, and buying and selling with other merchants would result in fines. The merchant old man kindly taught me. You must have realized we were new-faced adventurers.

There are a number of army-set tents available, where they can write free maps of the field, and they can also be taught about the ecology of the often submerged warcraft, etc.

"Demon Stone is cheaper than the city."

"Really."

The Demon Stone, obtained by defeating and dismantling Warcraft, is the primary source of income for adventurers. We need to find a merchant who can buy the collected Demon Stone as high as possible. Ever since I named him, he has snuck in from the merchant side, but in the Age of Doe of Doe he was looking with Lupetta for a chamber of commerce that would go around and buy him a little higher.

The purchase at the base here was a little cheaper than the Demon Stone purchase confirmed in Newnelly City. I wouldn't even be able to negotiate prices because the buying here is in a state of exclusivity. Given the hassle of transporting it to the city, it might be easier to sell it off here. What a delicate purchase pricing.

Food was also sold in the open-air city, but only slightly more expensive than buying in the city.

"You don't need food..."

"Ah...... oh. Right."

The four Deannas were buying in as much food as they were unusual.

He said that all four of them were new to the field, so he bought a bunch of them. All four of them have bought a ton of food, apparently because of a lack of group action in Newnelly. Thanks to this, the contents of the luggage are full of food.

I talked to Deanna about throwing it away because it's too much, and she said, "I can't believe I wasted what I can eat...! There's Mozzawine, isn't there? He preached on the name of the Spirit by mentioning the Gocock Fozzio as a whole..."

That's why I became the feather that came this far with as much food as a mountain.

In the meantime, I wrote a map of the field on a wooden plank in an army tent. This is truly gratifying as there was no map provided in Wang Du and I had to make it on my own or buy it from adventurers selling maps.

Some former adventurers were hired by the Qualdenze army to work on the tent, where they could question information inside the field. And it was free.

The former adventurer, who answered the question, said he had been a professional adventurer at Newnelly's field for many years. But one day, he was accidentally struck by a warcraft and eaten off his left arm, and he was to retire. Well, they bought that field knowledge from the Qualdenze Army where they were worried about how they should live from now on, and they transferred here as they were.

The main task seems to be to provide information to active adventurers or, conversely, gather up-to-date information to report regularly on how the powerful Warcraft has grown inside the field.

He is said to be employed under a contract called Field Specialty, a stable position of treatment of more than ordinary soldiers of the Qualdenze army, while participation in the war seems unnecessary. It's an enviable position.

Wang Du seemed like a policy of attracting good adventurers from around him with preferential treatment, and the Marquis of Quordenze seemed like a policy of favouring the adventurers who had originally been there while extending backwards.

I have heard rumors that adventurers are lacking everywhere because adventurers everywhere went for Wang Capital. In the Marquis de Quordenze territory, he may be trying to pull off an outgoing adventurer somehow.

"Hey. Melgin"

Knock, and get pulled off the sleeve. Rupetta was staring at me.

Her heartbeat is only a little quicker against the normal act of being stared at and touched by her.

"What, to?

"How long are you planning to be in Newnelly? Those four wanted to come to Newnelly's field, so if we leave here, the Adventures will be disbanded, right?

Silver eyes staring at this one at the top. I'm going to get sucked in.

"Right..."

I'm sure Rupetta doesn't want to work with the Deannas any more.

I can't help it. I've been saying things like comparing Deanna to Rupetta, and I've hurt Rupetta. Because of this, Rupetta avoids Deanna.

Deanna and the others said the purpose was to work on Newnelly's field, and I don't think they'd follow us if we were going to go on another field.

If you're leaving Newnelly, your promise to form an adventure group with the Deannas will also be lifted.

... Me and Rupetta start our adventurer activities again. That was too appealing.

Whatever Deanna is, Tonitol, Faucon and Semkus are starting to stare at the prettier Rupetta, and pretend to be moving to talk to her somehow. I want to pull it off early.

"Perhaps you and Deanna can break up this one last time. I think if we're a foursome with magic, we can just adventure ourselves as long as we remember the least. Rupetta used to say that. You can't just tell me everything. So this time, if I taught you how to walk on the field, I think it would be a good idea to go back to the original pair of two and four."

I tried to reason appropriately. Put it together on your own, resolve it on your own. What a selfish man I think, but I don't care about that little self-esteem. I was feeling stronger wanting to go back to my relationship when I was a pair with Rupetta.

"Yeah."

"And I figured... you and Rupetta should be on an adventure... that, uh... yeah. Me too, it's fun..."

I couldn't even look at Rupetta's face anymore in the second half.

It's not even a confession of love, I just can't believe I'm so embarrassed to tell you the truth that it's fun to be with Rupetta.

Still, I'm glad they told me right.

"Merguin...... good. Melgin, I thought you hated me..."

"I don't..."

Speaking of which, I noticed that Rupetta was pounding tears.

I don't like it when I think it was hurting Lupetta so much.

"That's not true. More about Rupetta than anyone else..."

Because it's important.

............... That's all I could say.

I want to hug Rupetta's trembling shoulder, but my hand is stuck in the air like it's hardened.

Pity.

"Merguin?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing...... hey Rupetta. The biggest field around here would be Newnelly, wouldn't it? Can we just get rid of Deanna and the Adventures or stay here and work for a while?

"Huh...?

"I just got here. I can't help returning to the Wang capital, Spierzeik is disturbing, and I think it's a good idea to sit back and work in Newnelly City for a while. If it's just me and Rupetta, we can work together in the city."

"Huh..."

"I'm only walking a little bit through Newnelly City, but if you don't think about getting caught first, I don't think it's a bad city... and I want something"

The name of the city of Newnelly has become widely known over the past few years. Because of this, Newnelly City was very busy with people everywhere.

When it comes to Newnelly soap, it's the finest soap on the continent, and Newnelly silk is a fabric that a rich lady would definitely admire.

I want Newnelly silk clothes because I've come to the real place. Not mine, of course, but Rupetta's clothes.

I walked alone through the city into a clothing store that handles Newnelly silk. I wanted to give Rupetta some New Nellie silk clothes, so I went downstairs.

The rupetta has become more beautiful these days, but the clothes are cheap for both men and women on the street so far. I don't think I've ever worn clothes made of Newnelly silk fabric in my life.

When it comes to the only feminine garment Rupetta has, it's a two-piece women's garment that she wears very rarely, but this is made of hemp, and I feel pretty tired because I've worn it for years.

I think it would be a good idea to invite her to a garment store that looked down on her when she saved up money and have her make some new two-piece stylish clothes.

And if I can convey my thoughts then......

"What do you want?

I still can't tell Rupetta that.

I'm ashamed, and I want to surprise you.

"Oh. That's why I want to stay in Newnelly for a while. What do you think of Rupetta?

Imagine Rupetta rejoicing in my gifted costume, her cheeks loose. 'I've never worn anything like it. Sounds like a lady...... Melgin, how's it going?' How dare you look the cutest.

And then I said, "You look great. In response to Rupetta, you hold each other.

Well, I can't help but feel it on my face.

You thought my attitude was weird, Rupetta clouded her expression just a little, but she smiled quickly and opened her mouth.

"Yeah. That's fine with me, too"

There is no such thing as a clear entrance in the field. It's just a place where the fog is spreading, so you just have to get it in from wherever you want.

However, it is easier to walk in places where many humans pass by because the ground is stiffened, and it is easier to be discovered in the event of any accidents.

We waited right in front of the fog and decided to think about where we were going to come in as we watched the people going in.

Occasionally there are organizations that push the carrier into the field or, conversely, load the carrier with stone-like objects.

According to Rupetta, that looks like a human harvesting rock salt. Part of this field is said to be a rock-salt zone.

We chose to go in and out of the group and get into the field.

I went into the fog for a while and when I looked back at the path I had walked, I could only see a bright white space there already. I can't see out of the fog anymore.

It's a completely foggy world, entering the field.

"The fog feels darker than the king's field."

"Right."

I can't see far because of the white fog.

If you throw the stone out of your mind without magic, the fog will be so thick that you will surely not be able to see the drop point.

"This is the field..."

The first four people on the field are looking around, but all they see around them is white fog.

If we go a little further back, the ground will also change its nature to something alien. The situation is very much the same as the everyday landscape just because of poor vision.

Because Deanna makes her gaze wander around, she's not walking very fast.

Warcraft has a better chance of encountering it in the depths of the field, so I can't help but be nearby at such an entrance.

"This time we're going to go around the field and see how it goes. Let's go. We're running out of time."

Me and Rupetta, as well as the Deannas, have never been on this field before. So I decided to wander around overall to lick the map and see what kind of field this place was.

I would then like to tell the four of you what I learned on the field and take the story in the direction of dissolving the Adventures.

How long it had been since I started walking, the ground where the tall grass had grown had turned into red and black ground with fine cracks like the hands of a cracked old woman. The fog is changing the earth.

As we proceeded through that creepy land, the first warcraft appeared.

It was a warcraft resembling a snail. It was about the size of a rupetta for three, and it looked creepy with the part of the shell stained with a bloody red color.

I had heard it at the base beforehand, but it just resembled snails and moved slowly, which could easily be defeated by magical attacks from afar.

In the case of humans who cannot use magic, they say they weaken them with stones from afar before defeating them. When you approach while you are physically fit, it seems very dangerous to scatter the lysate vigorously from the tip of the tactile sensation.

Dismantling the snail warcraft yielded a demonic stone of about the grip of an adult. It's like this because it's a warcraft that hasn't grown at all yet.

Tonitol shouted when we were all off after the demolition.

"Wow!? Hey, what's this!

"What's up!?

According to Tonitol, he turned his sleeve and showed me his arm.

There were dozens of white bugs stuck to that arm surprisingly, as if the entire arm were covered in white scales.

"Oh, my God, it's Hill."

"Hill!? Hey, take it! Why is there a hill even though it's not a mountain or a forest!

"Hey, don't force me to take it! You're gonna be covered in blood!

Grasp Hill's hand as he pulls back, knocking out Tonitle, who has become confused.

"Walking on the field, you'll find Hill attached. That's what it is."

Hill is also said to be a kind of warcraft created by fog.

Walking on the field, you have a hill stuck to your body at some point. And they're sucking blood.

There's no pain, so if you're confused, your whole body will be covered in hills.

So much so that there are stories of adventurers tied up with ropes and left in the field being drained of blood by Hill the next day and dying.

Hill comes on irrelevant even in his clothes, so everyone who enters the field for the first time is surprised, and offended.

"You've always had your stuff in the same position, haven't you? Hill is easy on the less moving parts. I need to be aware of my body regularly and move it so that Hill doesn't get on."

"Damn, how can I take this...!

"Just lighten up and let the magic go. I can take it right away."

Hill hates us the most on the field, but we can have magic just a little bit easier.

Hill doesn't like magic, so when he releases it, it startles him and lets his mouth go, so it's easy to get rid of.

"Whoa. I got it."

Tonitol is also a man of magic, so naturally he was able to liberate himself from magic. After that, Hill easily falls pounding just by stroking him with his hand.

"Magic liberation is easy when taking Hill. I can't be a normal person, though. And then when you get out of the field, Hill disappears to melt, so you should remember."

Strangely, Hill cannot live outside the field.

Looking back at Deanna and the others, Fokon and Semkus also turned their sleeves and started checking on Hill.

After all, they both seemed to have hills on them, and they were supposed to do a magical liberation to encourage them to take the hills.

I kind of missed the sight. I was worried about Hill when I was new on the field, too. The memories of Rupetta looking a little troubled and taking the hill on my back come to mind.

Now I don't have a hill because I'm always thin and magical liberated when I'm on the field. The same goes for Rupetta. This was also an essential skill for adventurers working in the field.

Magical adventurers can operate in the field for a long time. Because if you're a person without magic, you really need to get out of the field on a regular basis with anti-hill.

"Lupetta. I'm sorry, but can you do Deanna's hill removal for me? I can't even look at a woman's skin."

"Mm, okay."

Rupetta walks over to Deanna.

I took out the plank that wrote down the map and checked my current location.

Within the field, the Qualdenze army buries piles of iron at regular intervals. The iron pile had symbols written on it.

By matching that symbol with the map we copied at the base, we can see where we are.

The primary objective is the rock salt zone. Because Rupetta said she wanted rock salt, but it's also convenient in the sense of looking for a warcraft because it's deep in the field.

When I checked the location with the map and the compass, it still seemed like a long way to go. It'll be night on the way, so let's get ready for camp when we get some progress.

We decided to wait for her to come back to discuss the camping plans with Rupetta, but she came right back.

"Hill didn't stick around, so it ended right away. Is Melgin thinking about the camp?

"Oh, what do you think of Rupetta?

"Hmm... this is my first place in so I think I should get ready sooner than usual"

"Right."

Rupetta is the cautious type, so be ready for camp early on the first field in.

He was getting ready for camp early, even when he first entered the fields of the Wang capital and smaller fields everywhere.

You want to create a base while it's bright. I agree.

I don't know the height of the day satisfactorily either because of the fog that covered it to the sky.

I told the four of you to get ready for camp early.
