I Made a Contract with a Devil, but the Price is Strange

Soft, red lips kissed me. The gentle, warm feeling made my dick start to grow.

“Smooch, smooch… smooch…”

Egun’s actions weren’t much different from yesterday. She actively pressed her lips against mine, but that was about it. There were no other actions at all.

“Smooch, smooch, smooch… smooch…”

It was frustrating.

An extraordinary woman was in front of me, yet I had to stay still like this. It was simply unbearable.

I glanced at Egun’s reaction and raised my arm. Just as I was about to touch her face with my hand.

Slap-

She immediately stopped my action.

“Smooch, smooch, smooch, smooch…”

The funny thing was that we were still kissing. She just prevented me from touching her face.

If she rejected the upper part, she would dislike the lower part even more. So what could I do here?

I moved a bit closer and pressed my lips harder against hers. Our lips rubbed against each other. The feeling of soft flesh was immensely satisfying.

“Smooch, smooch…”

When she kissed me again, this time I slightly opened my mouth. I extended my tongue and licked her lips.

“Mmm…”

This much was okay. Her expressionless face remained unchanged. Then, I decided to take another step forward.

“Chu…”

I inserted my tongue between Egun’s lips. The tip of my tongue touched her teeth. When I tapped them lightly, she unexpectedly opened the way.

“Slurp… smooch, smooch… chu… hmm, slurp…”

She gave a slight eye-smile and began to respond with her tongue as well. Her long tongue came out and intertwined with mine.

Egun’s tongue was sweet. Somehow, it seemed to have a faint apple scent.

“Chu, chu… slurp… hmm…♡ slurp… chu… smooch, smooch… smooch smooch…”

Wet sounds leaked between our lips. Saliva dripped down from our chins.

While we continued kissing, this time her tongue entered my mouth. The tongue that licked my lips smoothly rubbed against my tongue.

The soft tongue exploring every corner of my mouth was incredibly erotic.

Gulp gulp—

I swallowed the sweet saliva Egun sent beyond my throat. I likewise passed my saliva to her.

“Gulp♡ Hmm… chu, slurp…”

Her red throat moved as she swallowed my saliva. Her hot breath entered my mouth. The strange heat made my face flush.

“Haa, haa….”

Egun backed away. She extended her tongue to lick the saliva around her mouth, and the sight was insanely erotic.

My dick twitched up and down regardless of my will. Seeing that, she smiled slightly and reached out her hand.

Tap-

“Hnngh…”

The tip of her finger lightly touched my glans. Just a tap, but I felt like I might ejaculate. When Egun removed her finger, a silver thread connected to my dick before breaking.

“Lick…♡”

She licked her finger and then put her hands behind her back. A feeling of regret washed over me as a red portal opened behind her.

『Since the payment pleased me, I shall strengthen your ability a little.』

“Really?”

The words that the payment pleased her sounded better than the strengthening of the ability. Perhaps I was already enchanted by her.

『Yes.』
『You will understand what has happened when you use the ability again.』
『Well then. I shall take my leave.』

She turned gracefully. I admired her backside visible through her red hair. Red, large buttocks and thighs. Her dress was short enough that her black panties were slightly visible.

Click click-

Egun walked toward the portal, slightly swaying her hips. Before entering, she placed her hands on her waist and looked back slightly.

『See you again.』

With those words, Egun disappeared. In the inn room where the portal had closed, I lay down on the bed, feeling suddenly drained.

“Phew…”

Tonight, I really wouldn’t be able to fall asleep easily.

“You came down late today?”

I woke up around lunchtime. It was because I had trouble sleeping due to thoughts of Egun.

“…I was tired.”

Perhaps because it was lunchtime, there were quite a few adventurers in the dining area. Most of them had probably just woken up, but every single one was drinking a mug of beer.

“Are these people who have already been to the labyrinth?”

“No? These are people who go to the labyrinth after eating.”

Drinking alcohol when they had to go to the labyrinth. They were quite remarkable in many ways. Well, that amount of alcohol probably meant nothing to them.

“Would you like a beer too? We have a set menu with lunch, and if you order that, you get a discount.”

“I was wondering why everyone was holding beer. It was because of you.”

“We need to make money too.”

I smirked at the shameless server. That was her charm, if anything.

“So do you really want one?”

“No. Just bring me lunch.”

I took out a coin and tossed it to her. The server caught it skillfully.

“Tsk. Alright.”

“By the way. I don’t think I know your name. Can you tell me?”

“Stay at our inn long-term. Then I’ll tell you. How about it?”

I thought for a moment, then took several silver coins from my pocket and held them out. I had quite a bit of extra money after killing the hobgoblin yesterday.

“Received 4 silver. Is that with breakfast included? Or just lodging?”

“Just lodging.”

“Are you not going to the labyrinth in the morning anymore?”

She asked, tilting her head. She looked somewhat disappointed.

“I will go, but there’s no guarantee I’ll wake up early every morning. So I just want lodging.”

This was all because of Egun. What a price to demand.

Of course, the act itself was very enjoyable. But the pleasure that remained afterward was the problem. Each time she stimulated me and disappeared without satisfying my desire, I felt like I was dying.

“Hmm. I understand. You’ve already stayed for 3 days. The remaining is 4 days. You’ve paid 4 silver to extend it by 20 days. That’s a total of 24 days.”

“Right.”

“And I’ll specially prepare meals for you if you come down in the morning.”

I flinched at those words.

“Is that okay?”

Though I hadn’t known the inn server for a long time, I could tell she was very sensitive to profit. Yet here she was, doing something that would lose her money?

“It’s fine. I need to practice cooking. My mom nags whenever I practice, so I’ve been hesitant, but this is a good opportunity. Well.”

That made sense. It was all for cooking practice.

“Are you good at cooking?”

“I think I’m not bad. Of course, not as good as my mom.”

“Hmm. Alright.”

Either way, I had nothing to lose. Even if she wasn’t good at cooking, I’d save on breakfast costs.

“So, what’s your name?”

“I’m Muffin.”

A name that somehow made me think of sweet bread.

“I’m Romon.”

When I extended my hand, Muffin grabbed it and shook it. Her palm had quite a few calluses.

“Now that we’ve introduced ourselves, I’ll be going. If I don’t get back soon, my mom will start yelling.”

“Go ahead. But bring the food.”

“I know that.”

Muffin turned her head sharply and headed back to the kitchen. Before long, the food arrived.

“Hmm.”

Today again, bread and stew. Nothing special about the meal. After eating, I got up.

“Have a good day.”

As I was about to leave the inn, Muffin greeted me. I smiled, waved, and went outside. I pulled my robe down even deeper.

Although I had started the day late, I didn’t feel bad. It was probably because I had made a friend for the first time.

I touched the strands of hair sticking out from my robe with my finger.

Damn black color. Because of it, I had never formed a party with others. There were times when I collaborated, but even then, I couldn’t properly blend in. If I didn’t get stabbed in the back, I considered myself lucky.

“Huh.”

For me, descending into the labyrinth was much better than working as a mercenary. Not only could I do it alone, but the income was also incomparable.

Humming a tune, I stopped by a shop near the labyrinth. The merchants looked at me with suspicious eyes, but today, I didn’t care.

“…Come again.”

Leaving the sullen voice behind, I went out to the street. Having bought all the necessary items, I could now go back to the labyrinth.

The road to the dungeon gate was quieter compared to the morning. The attire of the adventurers visible around was also incomparably better.

Step step-

While walking and looking around, I suddenly felt uncomfortable. It was because I felt like someone was watching me.

‘Who is it?’

I continued walking without showing any reaction.

In situations like this, there was no need to act and reveal that I had noticed. The other party would likely show themselves anyway.

When I felt someone’s gaze, nine times out of ten, it was with the intent to harm me. It could be because of my black hair, or they might be after my money or equipment.

“Tsk.”

I had left in a good mood this morning, but what was this sudden issue? My previously high spirits plummeted.

‘Whoever it is…’

If they were caught, they wouldn’t die easily. They would have to feel the strongest pain in the world.

With that determination, I descended the labyrinth stairs.
