The Expelled, Oblivious Strongest Boy Saves an S-Rank Beautiful Female Adventurer and Unknowingly Forms a Harem - 6

Chapter 6: Liam Thanks Lydia

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“A…. A guide, you said?”

“Yes. A guide. Although the Elf Kingdom is more or less the same as other countries, but there are a few differences. You see, I’m just worried. After all, a cute human boy like you might get in trouble if you stay here on your own.”

The red-haired elf in front of me said with a smile on her face. She was taller than me, so she had to look down to meet my gaze. However, because she was leaning forward to me, I couldn’t help but to get a clear view of her chest. Her body gesture emphasized the size of her chest even more. Not to mention, her outfit was already quite revealing enough. So when someone with an ample chest like her leaned forward like this, it was only natural for my gaze to wander to a certain spot… But still! This view was too stimulating for someone like me! While I was in a deep panic, she started swaying her body from side to side a little, causing her chest to sway along. 

“So? How about it? I imagine it would be pretty difficult for a human boy like you to live in this country without causing any trouble to the other elves. That’s why, allow me to teach you everything you know… Don’t worry. I’ll be sure to guide you thoroughly… From the top, to the bottom… Okay?”

“U-Umm… I actually already have someone—””

“Please don’t worry. I’ll be sure to support Liam-san and I will personally ensure no such trouble will befall him. I’m afraid your assistance is unnecessary.”

But then, I heard a voice coming from behind me. I turned toward the direction of the blacksmith shop and there, I saw Lydia-san, already donned on her armor again. Lydia-san was glaring at the red-haired elf in front of me. The red-haired elf didn’t even flinch though. She locked eyes with Lydia-san and said.

“Oh? So you’re already with a girl, huh? I see… That makes sense.”

The red-haired elf muttered softly while looking at me before she waved her hand at us and said. 

“In that case, I guess I’m in your way. I will head back now, but if we ever meet again… Please take care of me, okay?”

The red-haired elf said before she left us be. 

“Liam-san.”

“Ye-Yes?!”

For some reason, hearing Lydia-san calling my name in a very calm tone made me really nervous. I flinched out of reflex as I responded to her. She turned on her heels to look at me before she said. 

“If a suspicious woman dressed in an outfit like that tries to talk to you again, make sure you immediately cut the conversation short. Don’t entertain those kinds of women, understand?”

“That’s… I… Yes… I-It’s just… She offered to guide me through the Elf Kingdom, so I—”

I was trying to explain the reason why I didn’t cut the conversation short when suddenly, Lydia-san leaned really close to me.

“Even if you really need a guide, you need to go to a proper place for that. Go seek professional help. A legal and honorable place where you can get an actual guide. Don’t follow any suspicious woman like her.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Lydia-san reprimanded me and I sincerely apologized from the bottom of my heart. Upon hearing my apology, Lydia-san blinked in surprise. Then, while looking a bit flustered, Lydia-san waved both of her hands and said.

“A-Anyway, there’s no need to take it so seriously. Liam-san is only 16 years old after all. It’s no wonder you still don’t understand tiny little details like that. Well, I’m only a year older than you though… Regardless! I will be sure to support you along the way, Liam-san.”

“Lydia-san…! Thank you so much! I’m really grateful to have someone like you by my side! You see, if I were alone, I’m sure there would be many things I’d be feeling anxious about, but since I have you here, I really don’t feel anxious at all! Most of my worries are gone!”

I thanked Lydia-san. I bowed my head to show my sincerity to her. 

“Ah, please raise your head, Liam-san. Just hearing you say that to me is already more than enough─”

After that, I continued expressing my thanks to Lydia-san for a while.

◆◇◆

After being thanked thoroughly by Liam, Lydia and Liam walked through the town in search for an inn to stay for the night. Lydia glanced sideways at Liam, thinking deeply. 

Although Liam-san is incredibly powerful, but he doesn’t let the power get the best of him. He’s really kind and very compassionate to others. He’s a really honest and bright boy, even though he’s only a year younger than me. Just like how Liam-san helped me, I must also be of help to him. 

However, Lydia had something else plaguing her mind since earlier. It was…. The fact that Liam seemed to be entranced by the body of that red-haired female elf.

“…”

Lydia herself didn’t quite understand why she was so concerned by that. Although Lydia was a year older than Liam, but this was the first time she ever felt anything like this in the entirety of her 17 years of life. She wasn’t even sure if what she was feeling was jealousy or frustration. Lydia decided that she had to be sure of what this feeling was. And so, Lydia was determined to talk with Liam about this after finding an inn.
