Collecting the Male Leads’ First Nights

Chapter 69

Back at the lodging, Limbo was chewing organic carrots in a corner, and Sevis was lying on his back on a mattress. It was still early in the evening. It wasn’t the usual time for Sevis to be sleeping, so it was strange.

“It’s not time to sleep… Sevis! Are you sleeping?”

Sevis didn’t answer, perhaps because he was sleeping deeply. Sylvia thought for a moment if it was Sevis who saw the two of them.

‘Did Sevis see us? I can’t even ask him that…’

Patting his black hair for a moment as he turned around, she then spread her bedding a little distance away from Sevis. To use the item she thought about tomorrow, she had to go to bed early and get up early.

And the next morning, when she woke up, Sylvia saw Sevis still lying there and tilted her head.

‘That’s weird. He went to bed early yesterday, so he should be up by now. Why is the person who always wakes up in the wee hours still sleeping?’

“Sevis, are you sick?”

As she approached him and shook him, he spat a groan and covered himself more with the blanket.

“…”
“Sevis?”
“… I want to sleep some more.”

‘Is he tired from being in a strange place? And we also raided the dungeon yesterday… We keep waking up early so he might want to get a good night’s sleep.’

She tried to go out and use the item in the morning, but it seemed like it was too impossible to go with Sevis, who was tired. The item she was going to use was the Dungeon Respawn Ticket , obtained from the Secret Shop as a gift. Since it was a dance match, she needed to increase her agility as much as possible, so she planned to level up by respawning the Oasis Dungeon. Sylvia pulled the blanket a bit more over Sevis, who turned around, and patted him.

“Is that so? I have somewhere to go before the dance match… I guess I have to go with just Mr. Noel.”

As Sylvia stood up, Sevis, who was motionless, suddenly turned around and grabbed her ankle as she was about to leave.

“No, Miss Sylvia! I’m feeling better! I’ll get up.”
“You can sleep more… If you’re tired, I’ll go with Mr. Noel.”
“No! I want to come with you.”

Suddenly getting energized, Sevis got up from his bed and stretched out exaggeratingly. Sylvia had a worried expression as she saw his sunken eyes, but she had no way of stopping him if he wanted to follow her. It was more advantageous for the three of them to go because she was thinking of leveling up by letting Sevis and Noel hit them one or two times and have her do the last hits.

“Alright, let’s go then.”

After escaping the desert foxes and arriving at the Oasis Dungeon, Sylvia used her Dungeon Respawn Ticket. The Dungeon Respawn Ticket was an item that literally respawned the dungeon again. Upon pressing ‘Use Item’, the empty dungeon was instantly reactivated. The orcs they had beaten were alive and well, wandering around the dungeon.

“Alright, let’s do this.”

Thud, thud! Bang, bang! Swoosh, swoosh!

With the help of Noel and Sevis, her level went up quickly. As she defeated the last monster, a message appeared in front of her.

———————————————

[Level up! You have reached level 34.]

———————————————

With the help of Noel and Sevis, Sylvia, who only did the last hits, quickly reached level 34. She wondered if this trick would work, and luckily, it did.

‘Just doing the last hits is effective, just like the games in real life.’

Having opened the status window, Sylvia invested the 20 distribution points she had accumulated into Agility, making her able to reach 150 points.

———————————————

[Again? Sylvia’s condition is…?]

———————————————

At that moment, a bright light emanated from Sylvia’s body with a suspicious message. Immediately, a congratulatory fanfare rang loudly.

———————————————

[Obtained the skill Hands are Faster than Eyes by reaching 150 Agility points.]

———————————————

‘Oh my God! I didn’t even think about obtaining a new skill. This is great.’

Sylvia couldn’t control her joy, so she quickly opened the status window to check her new skill.

———————————————

[Hands are Faster than Eyes
– When using the skill, you can move at a speed that cannot be visually recognized for five minutes. Accuracy is greatly increased when using the main weapon. It is useful for stealing and gambling, but if possible, don’t use it for that purpose.

* Note: You can get a status abnormality if you use it frequently. Also, if your level difference is 20 or more, you can be ‘caught’ when you use it on a target.]

———————————————

Sylvia jumped in joy as she read the skill’s description. Just leveling up was nice, but she even got a good skill like this. With this skill, she might even be able to do damage to the Captain Desert Fox.

‘Even if I lose the dance match, I can use the boomerang hammer with this skill… Though I don’t have to use the hammer in the first place because he asked for a competition…’

While Sylvia was looking at the system window and thinking deeply, Noel came up to her, wiping the sweat from his temples.

“It’s really amazing. I thought we had defeated all the monsters, but they came back to life… I don’t know how this happened, but… Miss Sylvia knows all about God’s will, right?”
“Yes… Ah…”

‘What should I do… Explaining the game system is a bit complicated…’

Seeing Sylvia’s troubled expression, Noel smiled gently and stroked her hair.

“You don’t need to explain right now. If you want to talk about it later, you can tell me.”
“Ah… Thank you.”

‘As expected, Noel is very considerate… He has such a handsome face that he doesn’t look human, and he also has a deep heart…’

The old saying that a handsome man also has a good personality wasn’t wrong at all. Sylvia admired Noel’s caring disposition and gently raised the corners of her mouth.

Meanwhile, Sevis, who looked sullen, was watching the two with his sunken eyes. In fact, he was in a state of great shock because when he went to the oasis to wash up after taking Limbo for a walk last evening, he witnessed the two of them.

He fled from the Wolf Kingdom before receiving proper sex education, so he didn’t know the relationship between men and women in detail, but he still had an instinct. Even though he didn’t know anything, he knew that the atmosphere between the two of them was unusual.

After seeing the two of them sticking to each other in the oasis and running away in a hurry, he went to bed early, feeling depressed. He tried to heal his heartbreak alone by staying in a depressed mode for a while, but when Sylvia said she would go to the dungeon alone with Noel, his body moved ahead of his mind, and he followed her. After seeing them yesterday, he got anxious whenever he saw the two of them together.

‘I know it’s not my job to meddle deeply as a butler, no matter who Sylvia is doing something with… But I still don’t like it. At least I can’t see you two of them like that in front of me.’

Feeling depressed, he suddenly interrupted the two facing each other. And he tried his best to smile at Sylvia.

“Miss Sylvia, I think we’ve raided all the dungeons we could right now. Shall we go back to the lodging? I’ll make you a delicious stew with the ingredients we brought!”
“Yeah!”

Sevis glanced at Noel, who was standing next to her, then took Sylvia’s hand and walked away. Knowing that she was very fond of his cooking, he distracted her with that and cut off the conversation between the two.

Noel let out absurd laughter as he looked at Sylvia, who was being dragged away by Sevis.

‘… He is clearly jealous… Miss Sylvia doesn’t seem to have noticed, though.’

At the moment, Noel was clearly dominating, but as long as Sevis and Sylvia lived together, he couldn’t feel at ease. Even though Sylvia now looked at Sevis like a child—she was praying for Sevis to become an adult, though Noel didn’t realize that at all—he didn’t know how their relationship would change once Sevis reached adulthood.

‘That can never happen.’

Noel thought that after this dungeon raid, he would have to tell her to live with him. Hardening his expression, he followed the two of them with quick steps.

After eating the food Sevis had made, the group went to yesterday’s auditorium. They didn’t disguise themselves anymore. They had been caught anyway, so there was no need for that.

“Hey, follow me.”

Entering the auditorium, a sleazy fox gestured for them to follow. As they followed him quietly to a wide, open space, the villagers were tied up and kneeling.

“Dear Lord! You bastards, you bastards. No, you beasts!”
“I want to go home, I don’t have a religion!”
“I don’t want to live in the desert, my white skin will get all burned!”

Fortunately, perhaps because the black magic had been released, the villagers were sane. The way they shouted as a group was agonizing. Seeing the poor villagers, Sylvia closed her mouth with her hands and managed to swallow her saliva.

The captured villagers couldn’t see Sylvia’s group standing behind them, so they wept and rumbled in fear of the soon-to-be forced conversion ceremony.

Sylvia wore sweatpants and a simple shirt for today’s showdown. She also tied her hair tightly in a ponytail.

‘I can win… I can do it.’

She took control of her mind, comforting her frantic heart. She even increased her agility by using the item she had, but it was something that couldn’t be predicted. The tension made her small hands wet with sweat.

After waiting for a while, the High Priest Fox came up to the podium in the square. Unlike yesterday, he was also wearing sweatpants instead of the long skirt of his priestly uniform, as if he intended to properly engage in the dance competition.

Standing still for a while, he found Sylvia and silently flipped his hand over, moving his index finger towards him. He was telling her to come up on the stage.

Nodding, she stepped towards the podium with a resolute look on her face.
