Volume 12 Chapter 4 Part 11

「Well, usually it is the other way around, so I don’t see why we could not do it like that this time. 」

Ohhh!!!

As expected of Sherry. Well said, and nice follow-up!

This is exactly why I am so happy that Sherry is here with us, because she can always offer that unique point of view of hers to the discussion because she does not allow herself to get carried away with her emotions and always thinks things through from a rational standpoint

「Yes, yes, it’s just like Sherry says. We should do it step by step and gradually without rushing ahead of ourselves. It is especially important now to take things with as many steps as possible and get used to it slowly. 」

「I see. Is that so? 」

Now that Sherry seems to have taken my side in this little conflict, Roxanne’s aggressive demeanor seems to have softened for a little bit.

If we keep on pushing her like that, then this might just work.

「Yes. Little by little, one step at a time. We are not in a hurry anywhere, after all. 」

Instead of blindly rushing ahead, I would much rather take the 「three steps forward, two steps back」 approach

「Understood. I see, you’re right. So for the time being, let’s bid our time here in the Labyrinth of Quratar while we enjoy the repeated battles with the Floor Boss of this floor. 」

「Y-Yeah, that’s exactly right. 」

I wonder if she really understood what we were trying to say here, or is she doing it out of pity because she thinks that I am getting too lazy? Which I am definitely not, considering how much we are able to do from the early morning to the evening.

「Hmm. It seems that there are not many good monsters around here, so we might as well go straight to the Boss Room instead. 」

「I-Is that so? 」

By the way, we also do it every night in bed, and that’s why I definitely cannot be called a lazy person, you understand?

「Hmm, still no good monsters, huh? Perhaps if we go around the Boss Room one more time,
Some of them might actually respawn.

「…Maybe so. 」

This cannot be helped.

Just go around as much as I like it, to the point where you are going to be satisfied.

「Ah. I sense a nice monster nearby. Let’s defeat it quickly and go to the Boss Room then. 」

「Oh, oh! 」

But what is the degree of enjoyment here, exactly?

In the end, we ended up having to deal with a large number of repeated Floor Boss battles, almost to the point where it could be said that we had a Boss lap.

Roxanne also wasn’t complaining about anything, so can I take it as a sign that she was able to enjoy herself in such a way?

「It’s almost evening now, isn’t it? 」

「…I see. It’s time to finish. 」

「Yes. Let’s leave it at this for today.「

Roxanne, the real Roxanne.

Now that Roxanne didn’t voice any objections or desires to stay and fight some more, we were able to safely finish our activities in the Labyrinth for today.

I don’t want to think about anything that’s going to be happening tomorrow, so I quickly leave the Labyrinth, do some light shopping and then return back home.

I didn’t stop by The Labyrinth Behind Nesco, because it should be fine for today. The Explorers at the entrance are probably going to interpret it in such a way that we were in the Labyrinth until the sun went down.

When we get home, I take off my equipment and put on my casual clothes and make dinner while Roxanne and others will take care of the equipment.

「Rutina, come here. 」

I need to do it for her too. Remove Rutina’s special piece of equipment, I mean.

It’s an important, valuable, and wonderful piece of equipment after all, so it would be outrageous if someone other than me were to remove it.

Unsurprisingly, Rutina didn’t take it off by herself.

I will not give this right away to anyone.

「… Y-Yes? 」

「We’re out of the Labyrinth for today, so it’s fine to remove the equipment for now. 」

「Yes, of course. 」

Well, as expected, I won’t let her take off her clothes herself, so I put my hand inside them and poke around for a bit.

This is good.

This is the best.

Then, I gently find the place that the Body Clip is attached to.

Be kind and gentle now, an remove it gently, slowly, politely. Slide your fingers in there a sif you were licking the soft skin with your fingers.

「Are you used to this equipment now? 」

「Yes, to some extent. 」

Good, that’s very good to hear indeed.

「From now on, I will put it on and I will take it off for you. 」

「Yes… khh….! 」

Whoops, did I put too much strength into it? Is she okay?

「It’s hard to put on and take this equipment off. You need to get used to it. It’s better to leave it to those who are accustomed to putting it on and taking it off. Therefore, I will be doing it for you until you get accustomed to it enough. 」

I ended the explanation with that.

I look forward to the day when she’s going to be doing that herself, because that’s going to be cute, erotic, and ferocious.

「……Yes. 」

She seems to have accepted it.

I’m happy for it

Then, after eating and getting out of the bath, I put it on for again of course.

Taking a bath while wearing important equipment is out of the question.

Well, I feel like I would still want to wash it while wearing it covered with foam, but that would probably not work well.

When I imagined it, I wanted to do it more and more, but it’s not possible.

It’s the same thing if you do something similar in bed.

That’s it.

That’s right.

Do the same in bed.

「Well then, Rutina. 」

「….. yes. 」

I held it gently with my hand, and then I proceeded to envelop the entire rich mountain massif with it before I pinned it down and held it firmly in place in order to make sure that the equipment is going to be put on properly.

「There, that should do it. 」

I think everything went well, so…

「Nhhh… 」

Yeah, everything went off without a hitch, and there seem to be no problems whatsoever.

However, is this going to be enough to get her used to wearing it in the mornings?

Life is all about dying so that we may live, and living so that we may one day die.

In a much similar fashion, equipment is worn in order to be removed, and removed in order to be worn again.

It is a given that I am going to be taking it off for her whenever we are going to be going to sleep so as to not cause her any sort of discomfort, but since it is a valuable and wonderful piece of equipment, then it would be better for her to be wearing it as much as she possibly can, right?
