What's next?
Darx on the last day at the castle part 2
I woke up in the infirmary. The room was dark since the room's lights were off except for the reddish sunset light passing through the window. After a few seconds of waking up, I remembered everything that had happened. I felt a pain in my chest. It was not physical pain but one in my heart as if it was being squeezed. Once again, Kase made fun of me.... dammit... I hit the bed in frustration. It was at that moment when I heard a voice that came from the darkness of the room.
"You seem to feel better already."
When I turned to see, I saw Harold sitting on a bed next to mine.
"It seems that the healers have taken care of you and let you rest."
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I heard what happened and I came to see how you were. Moments ago, Syvis was also here, but she had to leave for a moment. She didn't want to leave you, but I told her I would take care of you while she returned."
"Sorry to cause inconvenience. But I'm fine. It is not necessary to take care of me. I feel good now."
"I think it was necessary." Harold said with a serious expression.
"Ehh?"
"What Kase did was worrying. I already knew there was something going on between you and Kase, but I didn't think he would go that far."
"It's a long story ... but why was Kase in the castle?" I asked.
"I called him." Harold reply, "When the news that a new S-Rank had appeared in the Dark Elves territory, Kase asked me to research him."
Now I remember that the time I met Kase and Harold outside the castle. Harold told him that he would call him when he found the information he wanted, however at the time, I didn't know what they were referring to.
"Why is Kase interested in the new S-Rank?" I asked.
"Kase has a younger sister who has been ill since she was born. No cure has been found for her illness, and Kase is looking for a way to cure her. Kase not only asked me to investigate the new S-Rank but any notorious healers outside the human territory."
Hearing that Kase cares about someone else sounds so strange. As far as I know, Mr. Enzo has more than one wife and three children, counting Kase.
Harold continued speaking, "An important part of my job is to maintain a good relationship with the three great guilds. Oblivion often asks me for information about things that happen outside of the human territory. In our position, it is easier to find that knowledge. In return, Oblivion provides us with information about the criminals as they have connections in the underworld. Unfortunately, it is a necessary evil."
I hear the sound of the door opening and footsteps approaching. "Darx!"
Syvis appeared from the shadows. She had an annoyed expression, but beautiful as always.
"Since Syvis is here, I'm going. I'm glad you're feeling better. There's something else I want to talk to you about but today, enjoy the banquet. Just tomorrow before you leave, please come to my office."
"Sure."
That said, Harold left the room, and Syvis sat on my bed.
"How you feel?" Syvis asked.
I feel a little embarrassed to see Syvis right now. I didn't want her to see me lying on the ground, defeated.
"I feel okay."
"Let me see."
She approached me and moving my shirt, she checks where Kase stabbed me.
"The healers did a good job. The wound is completely healed. Still, don't strain yourself too much the next few days as you've lost a lot of blood and you're going to feel weak."
"What about Shalia and the others? Are they okay?" I asked
"Everyone is fine. They fainted after losing all their mana, but after resting, they returned to normal."
I have to apologize to Shalia as soon as I see her. Because of my lack of ability to not control my summon, I hurt her.
"I am surprised that you are relieved that the nobles who were present are doing well as well." Syvis commented, "Shalia told me what happened."
"I'm not particularly relieved that they're okay... it's just that I didn't know what happened and I was a little worried that I hurt someone seriously."
"I understand."
"I wasn't able to control the summon. I should have followed your advice, but I lost control and I just complicated things more... and I still lost in such a way."
"It's not about losers or misguided winners like him. And it's not your fault either. I had a chance to talk to Kase for a moment, which gave me an idea of what kind of person he is. I will report what happened to the guild master, but I don't think there will be any repercussions since, after all, he is an S-Rank."
"Don't worry. I know you're going back to your guild and I don't want you to get in trouble because of me. Just be careful around him."
"Who do you think you talk to?" Syvis answered confidently, "I can take care of myself."
"I know, but it doesn't hurt to have extra caution."
Talking to Syvis has calmed me down. I am lucky to have someone like her by my side and friends who care about me. Still, I'm worried that Syvis will go back to the guild and that Kase will be there. I know Syvis can take care of herself, but I know Kase is an unscrupulous person. I don't know what to do about it.
"I know it was a difficult situation for you, but it wasn't all bad." Syvis told me.
"Eh?"
"Not everything was bad." Syvis said, giving me my card.
Taking my card and looking at it, I saw that my rank is now "C" and a new skill called [Dual Wield] also appears. Also, in the part of elements under Water now, ''Wind'' appears as well.
"See, it wasn't all bad." Syvis told me, smiling at me, "One does not grow throughout normal days. It has been difficult, but your efforts have paid off."
At the time of the fight, I had many things on my mind that I didn't feel when my rank went up. Minutes ago, I felt depressed, but now I feel motivated again. Even if it's little by little, I keep improving.
"You look happy!" Syvis told me, half laughing, "The few who manage to climb a rank take their whole lives, and you went from E-Rank to C-Rank in a matter of a month. It really is amazing!"
Syvis was sitting next to me and taking her by the waist to bring her closer, "I think it's more amazing that I have a woman like you by my side."
Syvis smiled at me with a seductive look as I approached my face closer. Syvis closed both of her eyes then we started kissing. Her soft lips and her scent are addictive. The kiss quickly intensified. Syvis moved her left leg over me and sat on top of me. Without stopping kissing, Syvis put her hands under my shirt, rubbing from my abdomen to my chest several times. As for me, the hands that I had on her waist went down to her ass. Her huge ass feels so good. Syvis's weight on top of my cock is an incredible stimulation. I'm so horny I don't think I can stop, and Syvis seems to be feeling the same.
"It feels like a dream to be able to embrace you like this."
"Stupid..." Syvis reply in a shy way.
I want to feel her breasts. Without hesitation, I let go of her ass and I held her breasts from the bottom, lifting them a little. They are soft and heavy and so big that they cannot fit in my hand. Syvis moaned in a very erotic way when I grabbed her big tits. I felt the hot breath that she let out on my face. Her eyes are moist, and her cheeks are slightly red. Syvis then began to move her waist, stimulating my cock while I continued to grope her chest. Her short skirt was rising with each movement until it was entirely above her waist, letting me see her red lace lingerie. Fuck, I feel like I will cum at any moment just for how she is moving on top of me.
"Oh, dear! Look how big you got! Could you have been hard the whole time you were talking to me?"
"N-No, that's..."
Syvis and I were immersed in what we were doing but were interrupted by the door opening's noise. Syvis quickly got off me and we both adjusted our clothes. One of the healers came in to see how I was doing. I was really frustrated at being interrupted at this point and even more so trying to hide my erect penis while being checked by the healer.
"Are you okay, Miss Syvis?" The doctor asked, "Your face is red. Maybe you have a temperature."
"I'm okay.... don't worry."
The healer left after telling me that I was fine and that I could go whenever I wanted. Syvis and I were silent, not knowing what to say.
"T-That was close..." I said.
"Y-Yes... hahaha-ha! The banquet will start soon. You better go get ready. I also have to prepare."
"Ah, yes..." I reply. "Wait, There is something I want to ask you before you go. [Dual Wield]. What is the function of this skill?"
Returning to the topic of my new skills, I'm not sure what their function is.
Syvis returned to her serious expression and replied, "[Dual Wield] as the name of the skill says allows you to use two physical weapons at the same time."
"Just that?" I asked, a little disappointed.
"It does not sound impressive, but it has many uses. For example, your skill [Triple Slash] can only be used with one hand, but if you use it in combination with [Dual Wield], you can use [Triple Slash] with both hands at the same time, making it an attack even more effective."
Putting it that way is quite a useful skill. I wonder what other ways I can use it?
"In fact, I have something that will be very useful to you." Syvis said, "We will talk about that later. I'm going to get dressed, and I will see you at the banquet later. A lot of important people will be present so put on the best clothes you have."
"Okay!"
Syvis left but it's easy to see that she's still horny. I also went to my room to get ready. Shit, I don't have anything fancy to wear. I had planned to go with Shalia in the afternoon, but the moron of Kase ruined everything. What should I do now? Maybe I can make something out of what little clothes I have. To whom I lie? It is impossible. I ran to my room, still not knowing what to do. Maybe Ryul has something he can lend me.
When entering my room on the bed, there was a suit. I walked over to the bed and take a good look. On the suit was a note.
Darx, I would have liked to be taking care of you while you were in bed but seeing that you were in good condition, I decided to go to the city to find you a suit. I hope you like it. Shalia
Shalia is an angel. I owe her one, once again.
I took a quick bath, fixed my hair, put on the suit that Shalia gave me, and went out to the place where the banquet will be held. Before that, I went to see Ryul, but he was not in his room. The atmosphere in the castle is more lively tonight. There are many people in the corridors, and everyone is dressed in elegant clothes and is in a good mood.
Almost reaching the great hall where the banquet was to take place, in a T-shaped corridor, I saw Shalia, who was walking in my direction wearing an elegant white dress that suited very well her white skin and pink hair. And walking next to her was Leona wearing a black dress. I am so used to seeing Leona always in armor and a ponytail that it is a huge surprise how good she looks wearing a dress and with her hair down. They are both beautiful and look especially good tonight and therefore, the men around them cannot stop looking at them.
"Darx!" Shalia said out loud and accelerated her step to get to where I was, "The suit fits you so well! I knew you were attractive, but your charm is on the roof right now!"
"I'm the one who should be saying that. You look beautiful and of course, Leona does too." I reply.
Leona blushed at my words and replied, "Shut up, stop looking at me."
"It took me a lot of work to convince her to wear a dress and to let me do her makeup." Shalia comment.
Leona's dress doesn't cover her shoulders and is adjusted to the height of her breasts. Since she always wears armor, I haven't noticed before that her breasts are pretty big. I think they are the biggest I've seen after Syvis.
"Auch!"
Shalia elbowed me in the side. "You're looking at her too much. What about me?"
"Y-Yes, you look great too!"
Shalia's white dress is held up by two thin straps on her shoulders. She has a very feminine figure with a beautiful face. Since we arrived at the castle, she has been the center of attention of all men.
"Thanks!" Shalia answered me with a big smile, "Now why don't you escort us?"
"And Ryul?" I asked.
"I thought he would come with you. I haven't seen him all day." Shalia replied.
"After the training was canceled, he left saying he had something to do." Leona commented.
"Don't you think Ryul has been acting weird lately?" Shalia asked, "He doesn't spend a lot of time with us lately."
Now that I think about it, Ryul used to come to my room every night to talk, but this last week he hasn't done it, and also he's been coming back late. I thought it was because of Dante's training, but right now, I'm so sure.
"Maybe he's already inside. Let's go see." Shalia said, "Now escort us?"
"Eh?"
Shalia stepped to the side of me and hugged my right arm. Then to my surprise, Leona also grabbed my left arm. W-What? I freeze, not knowing what to do.
"Let's go, Darx!"
"Y-Yes..."
I started walking towards the great room with both girls in each arm. I can feel the envious gaze of the men who watch us pass by. Right now, I'm the envy of every man.
When we reached the entrance, two butlers opened the double doors so that we could enter.
There were many people inside. Some adventurers from other teams, but for the most part, they were people I had never seen before and who are most likely noble. Tables full of food scattered around the room and a group playing music. In the back was a table decorated with two empty seats. I suppose that the queen and the princess will also be present, but they have not yet arrived. I kind of feel out of place in this elegant environment.
Inside we didn't see Ryul anywhere. While we waited for him, I had a good time with Shalia and Leona, talking about what we have done this week. It also gave me the opportunity to apologize to Shalia. After a while of waiting, we got hungry and we parted ways, looking for the type of food that each one likes. I'm starting to worry about Ryul. It's not typical of him disappearing like this. I went to a table full of different types of meat. While I was grabbing food, two girls approached me.
"Hey, are you alone?" One of the girls asked me.
"What family are you from? I don't remember seeing you before." The other girl asked.
"He's obviously not nobility, silly. But he has a handsome face. Have you thought about what to do once you get out of here? I need a special bodyguard and you are my type."
These girls act way too friendly. One of them won't stop rubbing my chest.
"S-Sorry, I'm not really interested in being a... special bodyguard!?"
Both girls were stunned by my answer and then began to laugh out loud. What's going on? What's so funny?
Then I heard Syvis voice say behind me, " It's not just a bodyguard job. It also comes with night responsibilities, if you know what I mean."
"You must be happy to be popular with the girls." Syvis said with a smile that gave me the chills.
Syvis then started walking away without saying anything. Confused, I walked behind her ignoring the two girls. Was she upset? Did she get jealous? For some reason, that made me a little happy.
But wow! Syvis looks incredible! She is wearing a red dress with a neckline that reaches her abdomen. And the dress has a side cut that reaches up to her waist, showing her leg with each step. Besides that, she has jewelry on and her lips are red, just like her hair. She gives off a really sexy mature aura.
When I finally caught her, she was a little indifferent but soon returned to normal. Speaking to Syvis, my gaze constantly drops to her cleavage opening. All I can think of is what was about to happen in the infirmary.
"We still have some time before the queen comes. There is something I want to give you." Syvis told me, "I will go for it and return."
"Wait, I will go with you."
"Okay, it's in the greenhouse."
Walking the hallways the guards keep glaring at Syvis. However, rather than checking for suspicious persons, it was the gaze of a perverted old man, their line of sight was concentrated on the big mounds on her chest. It seems like Syvis is used to such gaze, and she continued walking gallantly. Once we advanced more, I looked back once more and as I imagined, the guards kept staring at Syvis, but this time, their gaze was on her butt. When they realized that I saw them, embarrassed, they looked away and returned to their posts. But I don't blame them since Syvis is very beautiful and today more than usual. With each step, her dress's opening reveals her long legs, and her big breasts are bouncing around, making me think that they will come out of her long cleavage.
Once we left the castle, we felt the cold wind. It is a full moon night without many clouds and unlike inside the castle outside, it is quite quiet, hearing only the insects' noise. On the way to the greenhouse, we just talk about unimportant things.
Once inside the greenhouse, we walked to the back where Syvis lives, and while she left me waiting in her small living room, she entered her bedroom looking for the gift she wanted to give me. After a couple of minutes, she came back and, standing in front of me, stretched out her hand, giving me a ring.
"Take this ring. It is one of my most precious possessions and from now on, it will be of great help to you." Syvis said with a tender smile.
The ring is red with a black stone embedded. It is the first time I have seen a ring like this. "Thanks! I don't know what to say... But are you sure you want to give it to me? If it's important to you, maybe..."
"Because it is important to me is that I am giving it to you. It is a relic of [Zrephia], and there are only a few rings like this. It is a magic catalyst equal to a legendary level staff. Now that you can use two physical weapons simultaneously, this ring will solve your problem of how to use magic. With this ring, you can now use magic without having to change weapons."
Now that I think about it, I hadn't realized until now that if I used two swords, I couldn't use magic if I didn't use my staff. Syvis thought of that before I did and solved my problem.
"I-If it has the level of a legendary level!? ...Doesn't that mean it's also very expensive?" I asked.
"I suppose if you sold it, you could buy a large piece of land with a mansion and enough money left to have employees." Syvis reply.
Syvis's response blew my mind, "W-W-WHAT? A-Are you sure you want to give me something that expensive? I don't think it's a good idea."
"I already told you, so accept it. But you have to be cautious because if you have it in sight, it is likely that bad people will try to steal it, so be careful."
Thankful I accepted the gift. I notice that Syvis is staring straight at me with an anxious look on her face. D-Does Syvis want to continue what happened in the nursing? I'm starting to believe that she brought me here with that intention. My heart was beating fast as we stared at each other.
"... Hey.., I-It's okay?" I asked nervously.
Syvis just nodded with his head.
What's next?
Being an adventurer is not always the best.
Nightmare
Darx and his two friends have a dream of being high-ranking adventurers and join one of the most famous guilds, but soon they will discover how difficult it is.
