Chapter 53 – Episode 53. What Are You Two Doing Right Now!!!
About 1 month.
That was the time when Celica got out of the city she originally wanted to work in and participated in the defense of the Great Forest.
Of course, unlike the grandiose name of defensive war, all he did was deal with miscellaneous jobs.
Wandering orcs in the borderlands were often weak by birth or did not have enough intelligence to join the army, and dealing with them was one of the easiest things to do in defensive battles at the time.
‘But aren’t the orcs much stronger enemies than the goblins? It’s been a while since I started being an adventurer, and just taking care of those guys is amazing!’
That’s right, until you actually came to this city, weren’t you the only ones who had only practiced alone?
Breaking through an artificial dungeon alone in such a short amount of time is an amazing thing to do.
On the contrary, to achieve results in a defense battle in which many veteran adventurers participated only with such experience, objectively, would be considered great by anyone.
‘It’s a pity that I can’t work side by side with Verdia-san or the other warriors right now… Verdia-san also said that it’s just a matter of time in the end.’
For him, who is guaranteed enormous growth and potential as a hero, lack of strength and achievements is only a matter of time after all.
The fact that the immediate performance is poor compared to the veterans will not be a reason to be disappointed.
“Huh, I’m sure Dave would be surprised to find out how strong I’ve become, right?”
Still, wouldn’t it be okay to brag a little bit to your lover? Celica controls her throbbing heart at the thought.
Her steps along the city streets were much lighter than when she was engaged in defense.
She has been missing him for the past month and has been looking forward to meeting him.
‘What should I do first after we meet?’
A market place that I came across on the way.
Celica, who was walking there, began to review her plans step by step on how to spend time with her lover, whom she would meet later.
‘Should we go on a date? Walking around the city, eating delicious food, going to the theater… Oh, would you like to buy me a present?’
Even in the defense battle, she was given a reward equal to the number of orcs she had cut down.
Just as there is a saying that gathering even dust is a great mountain even though they are only small pieces that have fallen apart, even if you defeat more than 100 wandering orcs, you can earn a good amount.
Without empty words, it was a huge amount of money that you could not even dream of subjugating wild rats, which are usually the lowest-ranking adventurers.
With this, even if he didn’t have the pocket money Verdia gave him, he should be able to spend the rest of the time comfortably.
‘Oh, equipment! Wouldn’t it be better to buy the equipment first? Come to think of it, the backpack Dave carried in the dungeon wasn’t very good either… No, it’s a gift at best, but isn’t it kind of like giving equipment?’
Celica is immersed in her troubles as she browses through her bag at the shop she stops on the way.
However, such worries were short-lived in the end, and Celica, who put her bag in her hand at the road shop, moved her steps towards her destination.
“Yeah, you can meet and ask what to do.”
There will be a lot of time to spend together in the future.
***
How long had it been since I had been laughing so hard and making my way across the marketplace?
After arriving at the address, her destination, Celica raised her head and took the time to stare at the building in silence.
“This is the address on the letter, right?”
An opulent mansion on the outskirts of the city.
Before she became an adventurer, she was just a country girl, and for her body, it was a place that made her feel afraid to even step into it. Conversely, if Verdia saw this place, she would have nagged, saying, ‘Her discipline is lax.’ It was a place
Since ancient times, adventurers have to get used to harsh environments, and this was also applied to the warrior party, which had to go through all the battles.
But more than that, there was something else that Celica cared about.
‘So, Dave was living alone with Mr. Ymir in this luxurious mansion?’
Become her own lover and party member.
Did he stay in a mansion alone with a woman who had a ‘heinous object’ that was incomparable to him?
‘… No way.’
The moment when your heart is pounding at the feeling of being cheap.
‘Could it be that the two did such a thing while I was gone?’
If.
If at least one of these two people did something like that. Or what if one of them forced the other to do something?
If that really happened, would he be able to keep his senses ahead of them?
-… Click.
The moment when the sword strapped to the waist gradually gains strength.
When the blue blade of the newly acquired sword was exposed afterwards, Celica was able to recognize her own eyes reflected there.
Faded and constricted pupils.
It wouldn’t be strange to grab someone and cut them to pieces right away, and of course, the target would be the people you’ll encounter in the future.
If only his own anxious predictions were correct.
“… Lol.”
It really happened in an instant that such an atmosphere subsided.
Afterwards, Celica, realizing that her eyes had returned, put her sword in and smiled.
“Oh, can that happen? Dave told me not to worry before he left, and above all, Ymir wouldn’t be interested in that at all.”
Although the time I met Dave was short, I had already realized that he wasn’t the type to break promises.
More than anything else, Ymir had been focusing only on research until now.
When I received the letter with the current situation, I was told that all the research was over, but how can human nature change easily?
“Yeah, I’m sure it will be fine.”
So, while she was away, there really wouldn’t be any problems.
Celica, who controlled her heart like that, immediately rang her bell by pulling the rope at the entrance of her mansion.
Dang, dang. The moment when a sound echoed through the mansion, announcing that a visitor had arrived.
But for some reason, no matter how much time passes, there is no sign of the door opening.
“Excuse me, is anyone there?”
She calls out in doubt, but there is no answer.
Are you absent?
No, apart from that, the curtains are open all over the house, and you can glimpse rooms with lanterns lit through them.
Even if it was Ymir, there was no way Dave would make such a mistake. He was a very meticulous and thorough person in this regard.
“If…”
The moment when the feeling of bitterness that had subsided before was established again.
Of course, what I felt now was not only hostility toward the two. Conversely, something is wrong with the two of them, and the house may be in this condition.
‘The door is also open.’
When I pulled the doorknob just in case, it was confirmed that the lock was unlocked. Soon Celica gulped down her saliva and carefully placed her hand on the handle of her sword that hung around her waist.
“… Dave?”
Seika opened the door and carefully stepped inside.
Looking inside, she saw a scene from the front door that was badly messed up.
There is no dust, but things like books and papers are scattered all over the place.
For Celica, who had seen Yumir’s room once, it was a scene that felt at least a bit familiar.
“Dave, are you here?”
However, even though Dave, who is good at cleaning her, will take care of her, there is no way she will be left unattended.
“Day… !!”
Could it be that she burned her Dave on fire for being annoying on her part?
The moment I tried to scream, unable to withstand such anxiety, a ‘thud!’ Sound began to resonate from the inside of the house.
What? Is it a raid?
“Oh, you’re on your way there. Just a little bit more.”
No, despite that, the voice that comes out is quite relaxed.
It’s a pretty familiar voice too.
Celica instinctively realized that it was Ymir’s voice.
“Hoo-wook…”
Then, who the hell is the sound of heavy breathing that follows?
Soon, the presence appeared in front of Celica, rounding the corner of the street leading to the entrance.
“Whoop, whoop! Wow! Oops!!”
A tanned man walking around on all fours with a gag over his mouth, an eyepatch over his eyes and earplugs over his ears.
Even the clothes he is wearing are a piece of underwear, and the dog collar hanging around his neck has a string.
“… To?”
Seeing that scene, Celica’s gaze, which made a blank expression involuntarily, naturally began to turn to the woman who followed her while holding her leash.
“Hey, walk slowly. What are you going to do if you give me strength and then I, holding the leash, fall over?”
A woman in a white gown with long black hair and glasses.
Even in the clothes that did not reveal her body, the fat mass that stood out clearly was showing off its presence even while walking alongside Dave.
“Ooh, wub bum. Oops!”
Yeah, obviously it was Dave.
The man who walks around the messy house with his eyes and mouth closed and on a leash is none other than his lover.
“What should we do when a visitor comes? In my house, I am the king, so you can just ask them to come find me.”
“Whoops, whoops, whoops!”
“Ugh, what’s up? I get it. In order to practice, you have to travel around a lot anyway, but if you receive guests as well as business… Hmm?”
It took a while for Ymir to say anything to Dave, who was struggling to breathe with the power that was blocked.
“Yu, Mr. Ymir?”
“Ah, I asked who it was and it was a kid.”
Yumir, who belatedly confirmed the visitor standing at the front door, opened his eyes unexpectedly and expressed his delight.
“How have you been? Orc subjugation or something went well?”
“Uh, yes, yes, but…”
An attitude that was light enough to contrast with the incredulity of the last time I saw it.
It was clear that her mood had changed from before, but Celica’s gaze was not on her, but on Dave, who was crawling on all fours beneath her.
“Whoop, whoop!”
Dave is still on the leash and struggling to breathe.
His head was turned towards him, but it seemed that he could not see properly because it was blocked by an eyepatch.
“How about that armor you used to go with?”
Ymir doesn’t care about such an outrageous appearance and asks.
From the way he asked the question with his arms folded, he couldn’t find a hint of strangeness at the current situation.
“B-Mr. Verdia has work to do in the capital for the time being, so…”
“Ac, then you mean you have to wait until that year comes back. I was preparing for nothing.”
Tsk, Ymir, who clicked his tongue, withdrew his attention from Celica, and yanked the leash around Dave’s neck.
“Eww?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special, they just say that they have more time to practice for the time being. We don’t have to care so much, so let’s do our own thing.”
“… Town. Town.”
“Yes, yes, we need to make sure we treat our guests well. There’s still some time left for renting the mansion anyway, so it’s okay to stay here for a while, right? So, kid, find a room that’s roughly free, unpack your things, and rest in peace.”
Yumir said while scratching the back of his head as if it was annoying, and soon turned around from his seat and pulled the leash he was holding in his hand.
“Then I have something left to train with this guy, so I’ll go. Come on, Dave.”
“… Town. Wow.”
Dave follows her lead and proceeds through the mansion again.
His actions were slow, but he could feel the familiarity in the form his hands landed on.
Even though his eyes were covered, his hands and legs were moving forward, only pointing to an empty place, as if he could see obstacles scattered everywhere.
“Two, two…”
However, Celica did not have the time to confirm such a thing.
She opened her mouth belatedly and shouted with all her might at the two of her.
“What are you two doing right now!!!!”
It is the embarrassment about the situation that made even the worry and anger about the things you want to do colorless.
