Magical Explorer Chapter 20

b.u.t.t?

Hanamura House: Claris's moving in event

The Hanamura house is currently filled with boxes and beautiful elves.

As the entrance doesn't have enough s.p.a.ce, cardboard boxes are lying around the corridor. The boxes have labels such as "Clothes", "Books" and "Tableware", etc written on it.

The elves split the boxes among themselves and take it to Ludi's room.

"……….Is there something wrong?"

Suddenly I heard a voice calling out behind me. The nice b.u.t.t………Claris-san is looking at me. Instead of the Knightly dress, she wore last time she is now wearing a green sweater and shorts. In her hands is a small cardboard box.

"No, I was just thinking about something."

Involuntarily, my eyes went to her long slender legs. She is considered tall even among the elves, comparing to the others she is at least a head taller. She seems to be the same height as me. However, her face is still small and beautiful. Well, according to the game setting, elves are generally more beautiful compared to humans.

"Is that so…..?"

Claris's eyes keep staring at me. Judging from her reaction, it seems like she still has some needless distrust toward me………..I wonder why?

When I was about to ask her, my leg was caught by something. What is this? When I take a look, my foot b.u.mped into one of the boxes. On the side of the box, there is a paper with something written on it.

[Claris's Clothes.]

This is that, right? Claris-san is misunderstanding something. 

No, it was me who was standing in front of her clothing box while acting like I was seriously thinking of something. Anyway, this is a misunderstanding.

"N, No. I didn't plan to do anything."

"Is that a confession…….?"

"N, No. I was just thinking about how it is getting harder to raise my strength……That's what I was worried about."

"S, sure."

She still looking suspiciously at me.

"Th, That's right. How did Claris-san normally acquire skills? I have a skill that I want but can't seem to learn it."

At a time like this, I can only change the topic. Well, there is a possibility that it will end up with [Don't change the topic. Bam!! (Sound of the table being smacked.)] ……… If it comes to that, I will have to prepare for a beating.

"Skill is it?"

Claris-san's expression calmed down. This is like killing two birds with one stone. On top of changing the topic from her clothes, I can consult her about the skills. If it is advice from a long-lived elf who is rich in life-experience like her, I might be able to get a good one.

"Yes, I am being taught by an acquaintance but there's still no sign of acquiring the skill…."

She put her hand on her jaw and tighten her brows.

"Yeah…….there's no choice but to earnestly train, right?"

I sigh involuntarily.

"So there is nothing more I can do huh. As I thought …"

No choice but to continue training as it is then. It's quite harsh to continue without knowing when I will get the result though.

"There's one theory but……"

She said so and smack her palm with her fist.

"It is that it is easier to acquire the skill if you desperately desire it."

She fiddle around like there was something invisible on her palm.

"In fact, I did actually developed a skill that way…….."

She smiles nostalgically while touching the invisible something on her palm.

"When I was young, even though I have a lot of magic power, I was very poor at using magic…."

Eeh, I opened my eyes in surprise.

"Was that the case?"

"Yes it was, that's why I also learn how to use a sword and bow for a while. But when I acquired the skill I later change my fighting style to a magic sword and s.h.i.+eld.

Heee, I leaked a sigh. Seem like she is an all-rounder type like Mizumori Yukine, huh.

"Knowing your special const.i.tution, Takioto-sama. If you acquire a skill a new path might open up for you too."

Even if you said that, isn't it impossible? In the game, no matter what you do Takioto Kousuke will never be able to use long-range magic. And it is not only me, but it also applied to a certain famous saint in the game.

"I see……Thank you very much. I will try my best for a little bit longer."

I said that to her and look at Claris-san again.

"Is it fine for me to help?"

In Ludi case, there are maids(they are knights no matter how I look at it.) carrying the luggage for her but there's no one helping Claris-san. Well, normally they would give their priority the princess, right?

"No, umm, there's heavy stuff as well so…….."

"Exactly. Moreover, I may need to continue consulting you about skills in the future, please let me return the favor."

I put magic into my stole and make it do a gut pose.

Claris-san smile and nod her head.

"Right. The boxes in this area are my belongings. Could I ask you to carry them to the second floor?"

"Please leave it to me!"

I quickly start moving. First I pick up the closest box to me labeled clothing……..not, I picked up the box that said [Claris's Book] with my Third-Hand instead.

"Eh, why is it so light…..?"

"Hm, Ah a, Ahhhhhhhh"

I was surprised by her sudden voice that I almost dropped the box.

"Takioto-sama! Please carry this box instead, Takioto-sama !"

For some reason, she presented me with the box with [Claris's Clothes] written on it instead.

What is she thinking anyway?

And I was intentionally avoiding that box too. Why did she offer it to me herself?

"S, sure."

I received the box with my Fourth Hand. The box was much heavier than the book box.

"I will carry this one myself !"

She said that then proceed to s.n.a.t.c.h the book box away from my Third Hand and start leading the way upstairs at a fast pace.

I can kinda guess the reason why the book is lighter than the clothing box though. The stuff packed inside is probably different from their label, huh.

Is it for crime prevention? It's not weird to expect a pervert to steal a box labeled as Clothes. No pervert would steal a book, right?. There is also a possibility that it was an honest mistake but she wouldn't have made such a blunder.

I a.s.sume that isn't the case but I will avoid opening boxes with books written on it as a precaution. I am a gentleman after all.

I pick up more cardboard boxes around me and follow after Claris-san.

I followed after she and I have to stop my legs as I admiring her figure ascending the stairs.

As expected of the b.u.t.t. As thicc as it is firm, above all it is in good shape. Her beautiful b.u.t.t is being emphasized every time she moves her leg, her white thigh that can be seen from her short pants. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a form of art. If it's her thigh I wouldn't mind getting crushed by it.

"It is kinda messy around here, please mind your step."

She suddenly called out to me, My soul that almost got sucked away returned to my body.

"Haha, I haven't lived here for long yet but I won't trip over so easily, you know."

"Yeah, that's right…..Fufu."

We laughed while ascending the stairs but suddenly her body started swaying.

"Ee eh eeh"

Speak of the devil. Claris-san tripped on her leg right in front of me.

I don't know why but the box she has been carrying fell toward me like she was doing a German suplex. At this rate, that box will directly hit my head.

If I was asked whether I could avoid it, I could. But we are on the stairs if I dodge here Claris-san will get hurt.

I stretch my hand out to support her body and receive the falling box.

"Ooof."

In the end, my vision turned completely dark. My head is wrapped in some sort of cloth and it is very hard to breathe. Silver lining, the smell is good. It smells like the sun.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!! I, I'm very sorry !"

She got off and try to remove the box from my head.

"Uh, Umm, Are you okay?"

"It's alright, there's no problem."

At the same time as I give a big laugh the box was removed from my head. A bright light entered my vision. Suddenly, I felt discomfort from my head. There seems to be something stuck on top of my head so I pulled it out to take a look.

"String?"

Looking at it, it appeared to be a string. However, it is not. At the end of the string, there is a thin piece of cloth attached to it. Is it that item? The item that protects the most important part of a human, it's a panty. A black s.e.xy panty. (TLN: Isn't that the G– something…..)

Anyway, what is this? Most of them are string type that emphasizes her b.u.t.t. Moreover, the front part is almost a see-through………Eh, why is there a fist in front of me?

"IYaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAA"

"OOOOooff"

My vision turns to darkness once again.
