EP.4 Getting Ready to Go Out
"Today, we're going to the black market."
Selene, who suddenly came to find me, said this.
Looking at her face, she seemed like a girl going on a picnic.
"Does that mean you want me to act as your escort?"
"You catch on quickly. I've always wanted to visit the black market."
"It seems you've never been there before."
As an adventurer, I'd often stopped by the black market.
Sometimes it was related to requests, and it was a great place to find special items.
But it's not really a place connected to noble ladies.
It would be too risky to go there without an escort.
"I've always been interested, but there was never anyone I could take as an escort."
The reason this perverted noble lady wanted to go to the black market-
I couldn't think of anything but impure motives.
As proof, Selene was wearing a mischievous smile.
"I've heard a lot of rumors, but I'm curious if it's really as decadent as they say."
"Well… it's probably not much different from what you imagine."
"I heard there are even places that sell special tools."
"Special tools?"
Selene met my gaze.
It was a look that seemed to ask if I knew what she meant.
"If it's a tool I could use, I think I'd know."
"…You mean tools for a bit of play, right?"
"Hehe… something like that."
You can get all sorts of things at the black market. From people to lewd tools.
If it's something people are reluctant to sell openly, it's actually easier to find there.
"I'm sure… if we look, we'll find them. I haven't been to this city's underground, though."
Usually, black markets are underground.
The complex tunnels below hide many things.
"I've already figured out the approximate location."
"So I just need to follow you?"
"See, you really do understand. Since we need to hide our identities at the black market, I'll leave most things to you."
Rumors about a noble lady going to the black market would not be good.
Thinking about that female knight from yesterday, it was possible she'd question me just based on rumors.
She looked pretty upright for her beautiful appearance.
'Somehow, this is going to get annoying in a lot of ways.'
But I couldn't say no.
She probably brought me along for this reason in the first place.
"…I guess I have no choice."
"Don't think of it as such a hassle. There will be a reward, after all…♥"
It must have shown on my face what I was thinking.
But more than that, her last words stuck in my mind.
"A reward…?"
"That's a secret for now…♥"
It was definitely not a normal reward.
My instincts told me as much.
Otherwise, there's no way her eyes would be that seductive.
'Seriously… she's so bold with her seduction…'
If she weren't a noble, I would have jumped her right away.
Of course, Selene was probably thinking and acting with that in mind, too.
'How far does this girl intend to go with me?'
What happened at the inn last time-
It didn't seem like it would end with just that one time.
Especially since she was talking about a reward.
We'd already crossed a line we shouldn't have.
Going further now probably wouldn't make much difference.
"What are you thinking about? Are you already imagining your reward? Hehe…♥"
"…I was just thinking about what to do at the black market."
Selene smiled boldly.
It was as if she was asking if I didn't want to go even further.
"Well, the black market comes alive at night, so wait here."
"You're coming here directly?"
"There's a secret passage leading outside from here, after all."
"A secret passage…? I thought that connected to your room last time…"
"A secret base always has all sorts of things, you know."
As expected, this was no ordinary house.
It was the secret base of a noble lady with secretive hobbies.
I was the only one who knew that secret.
"I feel like I've become the gatekeeper for the secret passage."
"You really do catch on. You're quick-witted."
"But isn't a personal knight supposed to be with you during the day, too?"
A personal knight is supposed to be with their master at all times.
But she told me to wait here until nighttime.
"Ah… that's because of what happened yesterday…"
"You mean you need to avoid that female knight's surveillance?"
"Something like that. Her name is Lydia, so say hello if you see her later."
"Then I'll keep in mind that you might not be able to come today."
"I doubt that'll happen."
A deep smile appeared on Selene's face.
It was the kind of expression a noble plotting something would make.
She was beautiful, but I didn't want to be the target of her schemes.
"…That female knight must have a tough time, too."
"She's so uptight. Why don't you loosen her up a bit? Maybe have a deep talk in the bedroom."
"I'd rather not have a sword fight in the bedroom. Not that I'm uninterested."
"Hehe…♥ So you are interested?"
This time, her sly smile was aimed at me.
She approached me without hesitation.
At this close distance, I could smell a sweet scent, a mix of perfume and her natural fragrance.
"Aren't you interested in me?"
Her provocative voice.
Despite her playful expression, there was an atmosphere that couldn't be brushed off lightly.
I felt like she'd see through any lie, so I decided to give a half-truth.
"It would be a lie to say I'm not interested in a beautiful woman like you, Lady Selene."
"Hmmm~ Is that so? So you are interested?"
"If I had to say, yes."
I tried to make an excuse, but it didn't work.
She laughed happily as she brushed past me.
"Then, I'll see you tonight…♥"
"I really did make the right choice picking him."
Selene's face in the mirror was smiling.
She hadn't stopped smiling since leaving Kasar's house.
'That face…'
Just before leaving the house, Selene saw Kasar's face.
Anyone could tell he had impure thoughts about her.
That fact gave her a strange excitement and thrill.
In truth, she hadn't expected much at first.
Even just having a secret relationship between knight and lady would have been a success.
But meeting Kasar in person changed her mind.
'He said he's interested… Maybe if I tempt him more, he'll give in…?'
A faint heat lingered in Selene's lower belly.
Just imagining it slowly set her body on fire.
"Huu…"
Before she knew it, her hand had slipped under her dress.
As if recalling the sensations she'd felt at the inn.
"Haa… hn…♥"
When Kasar licked her genitals.
What Selene felt was an ecstasy and thrill she'd never experienced before.
It went beyond what she'd expected-so much so that it was bewildering.
The pleasure of a moist tongue licking her slit.
It felt so good that she even ordered him to keep going.
'Maybe it's because it's been a while… It feels so good to touch down there…'
She didn't have much experience with masturbation.
It was surprising, considering her lewd desires.
But her life of suppressing her sexuality had affected even her masturbation habits.
Unconsciously, she'd always thought she had to restrain herself as a noble's daughter.
That kept her from getting absorbed in self-pleasure.
But now, it was different.
She felt like whatever had been holding her back was gone.
"Huu… haah…! As I touch myself… I keep thinking about it…"
Kasar, licking her genitals at her command.
She was imagining him in other situations, too.
Ordering him to lick her breasts would be nice.
Or even ordering him to suck them-she wouldn't mind.
Whatever she did with him, she felt she'd experience wonderful pleasure.
"Huu… haah… I've never gotten this wet from masturbating before…♥"
Her fingertips were slick with her own juices.
Her silk panties were soaked with moisture.
As if telling her she could feel even better.
'If I'm with that man… could I feel even more pleasure…?'
Her moving fingers sped up.
The pleasure from rubbing grew stronger.
Her mind was full of images of Kasar licking her genitals.
"Uhn…!!! Haah… haah…♥"
Selene's body trembled.
Unable to resist the stimulation, she climaxed lightly.
"Huu… uhn…♥"
Her breath came out soaked in joy.
The pleasure of climaxing through masturbation was indescribable.
It was light, but it was the first time she'd reached climax by herself.
Her juices ran down her thighs, and a pleasant sensation spread through her body.
"Haah… haah… Maybe I should change clothes…"
Her body felt a bit weak.
But Selene still had things to do.
If she wanted to go out at night, she'd need an excuse in case Lydia came looking for her.
'I'm already looking forward to it…'
There was still quite a while until nightfall.
But a tingling sense of anticipation was slowly spreading through her body.
Going out with the knight she now had a secret relationship with.
Even if something happened along the way, Selene let out a small laugh, as if to say it couldn't be helped.
