Chapter 16: Chapter 15

The Protagonist's MatchmakerWords: 6354

System :

You have evaded the danger. Keep persisting host.

Would you like to receive the reward right now?

'later' Ren said in his mind

There was actually rewards? Fuck yea!

It better be good, I almost died today for that.

"Thank you very much for your help back there Sir Wolford"

"What household are you from?"

Wolford got straight to the point

"...I am a servant of the Lotriare household"

"Good. I'll visit next week"

"Excuse me?"

"See you then kiddo"

"..."

This person seems different from the novel

"By the way, how are you going to go back? Do you have a ride?"

"I'll walk"

"Hmm there's been a restaurant I've wanted to try, let's go"

"I see, then have a good time there"

When Ren was about to leave, Wolford grabbed him

••••

...

" ... Wolford I just want to fucking to go home"

"How dare you swear!" Wolford said pretending to be insulted

After that talk, Wolford decided to drag him to a restaurant.

....

More like a tavern.

Because of how Ren looked with his still bloodied and shredded shirt, there were quite a few who stared.

"Here eat some" said Wolford who was stuffing food in his mouth

"As long as you pay"

....

"I defeated those Infected and even saved you life with that potion~ And this is how you treat me? Ahhh, I got injured too you know~?"

....

In the end Ren ended up paying for everything

"my money..."

Both their stomachs were full but Ren's wallet definitely wasn't

"See you next week partner!"

Said Wolford while escaping

"You piece of- AHHHH"

In Shin's carriage :

Shin, "Aria, Miss Alex, are you two okay? I apologise for my foul language back then..."

He really looked apologetic for such a small thing even though he saved them. Aria and Alex eased up and softened.

Aria, "that doesn't matter...all that does matter is that you're okay"

Alex, "Although I don't appreciate what you're servant said, that doesn't mean I'm not grateful...thank you. This is my stop."

Shin smiled looking quite tired

"Thank you, and please be safe Miss Alex"

Alex, "...just call me Alex"

She quickly shut the door and went on her way

"Are you sure you're okay Aria?" He said in a concerned tone

Aria smiled and hugged him

"Jeez, worry about yourself..."

Since it was late, Shin went all the way to Rosine household and drop her off and said their goodbyes.

When he was finally alone, he quickly took out some new clothes to wear in order to not make his mother worry

After that, he just sighed

"I can't believe I gave my first kiss to someone so suspicious...not to mention a guy"

He kept sighing because of this until he went back home.

"Shin! You're back! Dinner's almost ready, so get ready" said his mother

"Okay mom"

When he went back to his room, he remembered that Ren was dragged by Wolford

'wonder how he's gonna get back here' he thought

••••••

It took Ren an hour to finally go back to Lotriare. Wolford ate so much that there wasn't any money left for Ren to get a ride.

"Get ready when I see you again you Wolf gold digging bastard"

Ren made a new goal for himself

When he went inside, he was greeted with a shocked Shirlette

"Ren! What happened to you??? You look terrible! Is that blood???"

"I'm sorry to come in this late looking like this Miss Shirlette, there was a fight near the market today. Ah, this isn't my blood though"

Shin walked in and just glanced at him before going to his room

"You have to take better care okay? There's medicine you can use near the kitchen. I'm just glad you didn't get caught up with those Infected that showed uo today!"

"Thank you Miss"

It's good Shirlette was easy to fool, it seems Shin didn't tell her anything aside from Infected appearing.

After Ren took a bath, he took out some new clothes.

When he cleaned up all the blood which was quite uncomfortable, he noticed that not even a single scar could be found.

"What the hell did Wolford give me?"

That hole that the infected gave him was not in one bit small, how expensive could thta potion have been to not even leave a single scar?

Ren decided to just sleep. There was so much he had done today, he even almost died.

"I'll check the reward tomorrow..."

The next day when Ren woked up, he decided to check in with the system

•System•

Host, You have not received the reward for saving Protagonist from the infected in Freya, would you like to combine the rewards to gain something with more value, or receive it individually?

"Ho...I forgot about that. I might get scammed with shitty rewards if I do it individually. Combine."

- Please choose a reward :

•500 gold coins

• x4 Grade A healing potions

• x1 Grade A Mana growth book

"Ha! I knew combining's the right choice!"

*Talking to himself again

The healing potions were really tempting, but what he needs now is mana.

"Mana"

After saying that, a light appeared in front of him. When it started to fade, a moderately thick book with gold embroidered in the cover appeared.

"Woah... it doesn't look too thick but it'll definitely help"

Ren quickly opened the book, and this time, it took about 30 minutes for it to activate

A blue light flashed, but had some gold in it as well, he quickly felt being somewhat full after it disappeared.

"What the hell is up with the waiting time?!?"

•System•

-Host is weak

"I know but like..."

He just sighed and grabbed Sylvie's Brooch to check

"Match"

Sylvie's Brooch activated

Time Remaining :

1 hour and 30 minutes

"Woah...it increased quite a bit"

Ren felt quite satisfied, but it didn't last long when he remembered what happened from yesterday.

'...my first kiss was with a guy! *Sobs*'

"It's okay, it's okay, there was no choice"

After hypnotizing himself by repeating that phrase over and over again for the past hour, he felt that it wasn't such a big deal after all

'first kisses only count if you acknowledge that it is!'

Note :

Poor Ren he didn't know Alex still became part of the harem :D

Sorry for taking so long to update

I decided to speed the story up sorry ( ╹▽╹ )
