15 Reporting the Job and First Reward
"Mm, mm... mm♡"
I was brushing Lucia's hair as she sat on a stone, carefully straightening out her long black hair that had been electrified by my "Lightning" magic.
Her hair, always well-maintained, regained its shine with each stroke of the brush.
"Ah, mm... mm..."
Each time the brush glided through her hair, a sweet, heated moan escaped Lucia's lips.
Lucia has become sensitive to my touch on her hair, a sign that she belongs to me.
"Sorry, Lucia. I guess I shouldn't use magic."
"Mm, mm... It's okay... mm♡"
Lucia hugged her elbows, trembling with pleasure, her cheeks flushed seductively just from having her hair combed.
"There... all done."
"Th-thank you... so much..."
Lucia looked at me with a reluctant expression as I put the brush away, her face was adorable.
"...Were you hesitant to use magic because you thought it might damage my hair?"
Lucia stood up, catching her breath, though a faint blush still lingered on her cheeks.
"Yeah? What else would it be?"
"Really..."
Lucia looked genuinely exasperated, but I couldn't understand why she would make such a face.
"Is the job done with this?"
"Yes, the numbers match, so we're done. Is there something else?"
"No, I was just wondering if we need to hand them over. You mentioned something about their nutrition and taste..."
We had subjugated ten chickens in total: three frozen and six charred, with only one that was properly beheaded being edible.
"Ha ha, it's fine. This time, the request was just to exterMinate them, so we can keep them. The guild will arrange for the bodies to be collected."
Lucia smiled, guessing my thoughts from my expression.
Then, she effortlessly hoisted the three-meter-tall beheaded chicken with one hand...
"Eh?"
"Is something wrong?"
Seeing her holding the chicken with such ease, I felt I could never match her strength.
"No, nothing..."
"Why are you speaking formally?"
On the way back, we could enjoy a leisurely ride in a "normal" carriage, which indeed took three days.
This time, it was a pleasant journey, spending time with Lucia at inns along the way.
The scenery of this world seen from the carriage was entirely different from the world I knew before.
Blue skies, towering mountains, lush forests, vast lands with fresh air.
I thought this was a beautiful world, where I could meet many beautiful girls, form a harem, and travel... There was no greater luxury in my previous life.
It looks like things are going to get really fun from here...
"Lucia, Maul, welcome back. How was your first job?"
When we returned to the guild, Yuria greeted us. It was quite heart-warming to have a cute older sister figure say "welcome back" with a smile; it seemed to wash away all the fatigue of the journey.
"We made it somehow, but I'm pretty exhausted."
"Yuria, we're back. Maul handled the job well. Here's a souvenir."
Lucia entering the guild with the chicken on her shoulder caused a stir.
"Oh, Lucia. That's quite the trophy."
"You can serve it in the dining hall; there's no way we can eat all of it."
Lucia tried to hand the chicken directly to Yuria, but, come on, Lucia, that's too much...
"Thank you, it looks like it will be worth cooking. Wait a moment while I store it."
"Eh?"
Yuria took the chicken with one hand and disappeared into the back without even shouldering it, just lifting it.
Are all the girls in this world this strong?
"Sorry for the wait, now, please give your job report."
Yuria came back from the back and placed a round crystal ball the size of a bowling ball on the counter.
"Do we use this ball?"
It seemed to be made of crystal, almost transparent. When I looked into it, I could see Yuria's ample chest through it.
"Yes, since it's your first time, I'll explain. When you place your hand over this crystal ball, it shows the results of your work; you can't lie."
Yuria caressed the crystal tenderly; it must be some kind of magical tool. It got me excited.
"Will my 'Skill' or 'Magic' be revealed too?"
"That's fine. Some people want to keep such things secret, so it only shows the results like the number of subjugations. Besides..."
Yuria leaned close to my ear, the gesture of tucking her soft hair behind her ear made my heart skip a beat, her sweet scent wafting over... it stirred something in me.
"Whatever you did at the inn won't show up, so don't worry."
"Eh? Well, that's..."
She winked teasingly at me; she was cute... but a bit annoying.
"...Then I feel relieved. Let's get this done!"
I energetically rolled up my sleeves and extended my hand towards the crystal.
"Ah?!"
Yuria's body flinched; she gave the cute reaction I was hoping for.
"What's wrong? Let's finish this report quickly."
"Eh? Oh, yeah..."
Yuria, with her cheeks still flushed, placed the crystal in front of me... her breath was hot... seductive...
Her eyes also showed a faint lewd pattern, seeming a bit more pronounced than before.
"...Yes, the job is indeed completed..."
Yuria averted her gaze from me, her reaction of being too flustered to look at me was too cute.
"And... here's your reward."
Yuria handed me a small pouch with both hands, the coins inside jingling.
"Thanks!"
I took the pouch with both hands, making sure to touch Yuria's hand, of course, without gloves.
"Ah?!"
Yuria let out a sweet sound as my right hand warmed up a bit; I had slightly increased the intensity of my "Fetish Control" from last time.
"Oh! Sorry, got a bit too excited..."
Yes, excited... right?
"I-it's okay... Good work on your first job..."
Yuria quickly withdrew her flushed hand, rubbing it as if checking something, her movements were sexy.
I'm looking forward to what's to come...
On another note, receiving the bag of coins gave me a real sense of "I did the job!" Rewards should be like this!
"Thanks!"
The weight of the pouch in my hand was delightful, making me grin uncontrollably.
"Lucia, let's go home and split it!"
"No, that's your first reward, so it should all be yours."
Lucia smiled at me like an older sister watching her little brother get excited over his first paycheck. Maybe I was acting pretty excited.
"No, no, we did the job together, let's split it."
Lucia stared at me intently; once she's like this, there's no changing her mind. She's always been a stubborn girl.
"Then, treat me to something. I'll save the rest for equipment I want."
Lucia nodded slightly, covering her face with her mask... my childhood friend is just too cute.
