In the dimly lit alleyway, a pair of mischievous eyes scrutinized me.

Through seemingly half-closed, narrow slits, I could see the faint brown of her irises.

Her gaze was far too sharp to be that of someone intoxicated.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Do I really need to say it out loud?" she replied.

After enjoying a delicious meal, Han Se-ah and I parted ways.

She promptly grabbed her key and headed to her room, possibly to log out.

But Grace was different.

When the waitress we had been chatting with earlier approached me, Grace feigned drunkenness and clung to my arm, practically pushing me out the building.

"Well... I was just a bit curious about a senior adventurer's accommodations."

Her ample bosom pressed firmly against my arm, barely contained by her plain leather armor.

It was astonishing that such a simple, unadorned garment could showcase a woman's allure so effectively.

In the darkening street, people like us were the only ones remaining male adventurers reeking of alcohol and stumbling about, and the prostitutes clinging to them.

Even after Han Se-ah and other players entered the world, the original prostitutes hadn't disappeared.

"I gathered my courage for this. How much longer do you plan to wander the streets?"

This wasn't my first time in such a situation.

My handsome face had attracted a variety of women, from stressed female adventurers facing life-or-death situations to widows and noblewomen who summoned me under the pretext of a request.

But what caught me off guard were her eyes.

They weren't the sticky, lustful gaze that desired my appearance and body; instead, they were filled with joy and longing.

After a decade in this fantasy world as a warrior, I had become adept at reading people's intentions, so her eyes were all the more disconcerting.

She was a 3 character I had never met before.

Why was she looking at me so affectionately?

"...Have we met before?"

"Oh my, what an old-fashioned pick-up line."

"No, it's just..."

Grace artfully dodged my question. With her thin, upturned eyes, she looked sly, almost fox-like.

With her grey hair, brown irises, and slender eyes, I could almost believe her character was inspired by a grey fox.

Even if Grace had some inexplicable feelings toward me, I couldn't just stand idly under the moonlight.

As she pressed her ample form against my arm, urging me onward, I gave in to the alcohol and headed toward my lodgings.

"If we go this far, it's no longer a joke. Can you handle it?"

"A joke? I've been serious from the start."

"No, I mean can you handle this?"

As we slowly walked backed, I analyzed Grace clinging to me.

I wasn't being hostile or suspicious of her or anything.

"Don't underestimate a senior adventurer's physique. It might be too much for a maiden to handle," I warned.

As a man who has had countless encounters with women, I was analyzing the lady who would please me tonight.

She skillfully feigned intoxication, leaning into my embrace.

She seemed like a professional from that kind of industry: she wrapped her arm around mine, pressed her chest against me, and guided my steps.

However, there were no further advances during our leisurely ten-minute stroll in the night breeze.

To be honest, frustrated widows and desperate single women would often grope my muscles and thighs like mad, naturally checking just how sturdy I was down below.

She nestled in my arms, but there was no hand caressing my chest.

While she held my arm and pressed her chest against me, her hand remained on my elbow and forearm.

There was only one conclusion.

*****

"In the village, we had my father, a retired ranger... The rest were just old men, so we would've been doomed if a creature stronger than a goblin showed up."

"Is that when we met?"

"Yes, though it seems our dear knight doesn't remember," she said with a teasing smile."

After discovering that adventuring in the tower led to terrible homelessness, I had traveled far and wide, completing quests to earn money.

I had grand dreams of adorning my retirement home with modern magical gadgets, and so I wandered endlessly.

"I never heard about a beauty like you living in the village I saved," I said.

"Heh, well, back then, I was a scrawny little girl, so you wouldn't recognize me."

It would be difficult for anyone to recognize that the filthy child from a poor village had grown into a glamorous beauty with a lovely scent.

*****

"I've grown up like this, but you haven't changed much... Are you an elf from a story?"

"Want to touch my ears?"

"Even if you're not an elf or a prince from a story, I'm truly grateful to you, my knight. The daughter of a hunter from that poor village became an adventurer because she wanted to see you again, even if it was just once."

It was as if she was confessing.

"I thought that if I hunted monsters, I'd become a famous adventurer. You turned out to be a much more incredible person than I imagined... I never expected to meet you like this in the tower."

and also sorry google translators... The fix I talked about last week slows down the website and while it isn't slow enough to actually be noticed by readers(0.1ms), it does matter for getting verified for ads, so I'm going to wait until we get verified before I upload the fix. Sorry! don't know when that will be. Within these 2 weeks would be nice.

And with that we're going to try to have a more consistent schedule for releases tues-> fri or tues -> sat if we decided to increase to 5 a week. not sure yet.

1/4 Enjoy the chappy!
