Chapter 70 – Episode 70. What the Fuck
The original purpose of finding a colleague suitable for the assistant of the warrior party…
So, attracting S-class adventurers that Martin had taught me ultimately failed.
No matter how good your skills are and how much you benefit from equipment, you should never join a party if your personality is about the same.
I’d like to take control of my mind and turn it into a half-dead person, but right now it won’t be possible.
There were a lot of spectators at the time, and if you touch someone with a reputation like an S-class, you could be investigated in various ways.
I can’t help it. I have no choice but to let go of it now and hope that there will be an opportunity to kill that bitch later.
“Oh, is Dave here?”
After controlling his cool like that, he met Ymir in the living room of the mansion.
Recognizing me, she shook her hand lightly as she closed the book she was reading.
“Yes, Mr. Ymir has come early. He was thinking of staying out overnight when the quest gets longer.”
“I wanted to see your face quickly, so I chose the one that ended on the same day.”
“…”
“… Why are you so straight up all of a sudden? Can’t I even joke?”
Oh, sure.
What this girl with no memory has for me is a crush as a member of the opposite sex, and it won’t go beyond that.
“Hey, how many men would like this kind of bad-tempered woman if he wanted to see her face?”
“Oh, no. It wasn’t really quiet in that sense. It’s just too sudden…”
Whatever it is, if her memories haven’t returned, there’s nothing to be offended about. Thinking of her, I looked at her and smiled brightly at her as usual.
“I’m glad you came back safely. Mr. Ymir.”
As usual, a smile made to hide her true feelings.
Facing it, Ymir smiled and looked back at the person who had bent his upper body on the other side.
“I always think, Dave, it’s so nice to see you smiling. I wish that guy could show me a face like that too, to the extent that I think…”
Celica put her head on the table in front of the sofa.
She must have noticed that I had returned from this conversation, but Celica still kept her head from her table.
“Uh, uh…”
Is the moaning that comes out of my mouth because I’m tired? Feeling a bit worried, I glanced back at Ymir to understand the situation.
“By the way, why is Celica doing that?”
“What is it? Because she went on a quest and she ate it up.”
“Someone said that he ate it up!!”
Only then, in a fit of anger, Celica kicked off her table and stood up. She, who looked like she was about to cry at any moment, shouted as she pointed her finger at Yumir.
“Dave! Hear me out! Well Mr. Ymir!! Mr. Ymir~!!!”
“Yeah, calm down for now, Celica. I will listen to your explanation.”
You must have had a hard time too, but I’m tired from walking around all day. Please be quiet before hypnotizing me again.
While she couldn’t bear to let those words out of her mouth and was racking her brain over how to respond, Celica suddenly calmed her excitement and looked behind me.
“… Who is that kid over there?”
“Arnie. What… Ah.”
Oh, come to think of it, I forgot for a while.
I must have been very annoyed with that bitch who did artel or something.
How to explain this, I was worried for a while. The reflexive act of looking back was stopped by the feeling of grabbing the hem of the clothes behind me.
I could tell without looking. The guy who had followed me silently all along and hid his presence, now he’s trying to hide his presence even from the two people in front of me.
“I’m not a child, I’m Heira.”
“… Heyra? What’s his name?”
“Yes, he lived as a hunter in the mountains, and now he has become a new adventurer. Although the rank is low, I spoke to him because he is the best shooter among the people at the archery range.”
About half of it is a lie, but you can’t say it’s completely wrong.
Actually in the archery range… No, perhaps there is no one in her humanity who shoots her bow better than she does.
“Please say hello to the two of you, Heira. You’re a colleague you’ll be living with in the future, aren’t you?”
“…”
“… Mr Heira. If you stay behind, we won’t be able to say hello.”
Yes, the problem is this
The reason why this damn kid came to this party was not because of a sense of duty like Celica or because of the responsibility of the position like Ymir, but because of ‘me’.
As much as she entered the party after seeing only me, it would be undesirable for her to have a conversation with other party members.
In fact, even at the pub last night, she was staring at beer froth by herself, and even when her men approached her, it was them, not her, who led the conversation…
“It’s okay, Heira.”
I found that kind of attitude annoying, but since I brought him with me, I should stay with him.
I quietly stroked her Heira’s back and spoke with her kindness to reassure her.
“Both of them are people who just stick to what they do. We will be together as adventurers in the future, so wouldn’t it be nice to have a good first impression?”
“… Huh.”
Was it fortunately persuasive?
Then Heira nodded her head, and she moved away from me to face the two staring at her.
“…”
Yes, it was just face to face.
After that, he didn’t say anything, just stared at the two in silence.
Even in the midst of revealing myself like that, the eyes of the two were focused on examining Heira’s appearance.
“… Small.”
That was the evaluation Celica gave when she first met Heira.
“Wow, it’s a woman.”
Likewise, it was the evaluation made by Ymir, who met Heira for the first time.
“Dave brought a girl.”
No, to be precise, the evaluation of me who brought Heira.
Right after that, her open eyes turned to me, and a snort of ‘Huh~’ started leaking out of her mouth.
What is it, why is he like that again?
“Is there something unclear about it?”
“No~ what. I don’t care who you bring~ First of all, I’m not your girlfriend, so what do you care about your personal history?”
Saying that, Ymir raised his glasses and began to smile as he looked back at Celica, who soon closed the distance with Heira.
As if expecting something from the current situation.
“But wouldn’t it be a bit intrusive to our Jeongsil-nim? Even thinking about why I had a fight with that guy in the first place…”
Fuck this
At Yumir’s words, she belatedly noticed the problem and was hurriedly directed to Celica.
Celica was staring at Heira, closing the distance almost to her nose.
“…”
“…”
Yeah, I’m staring really hard.
Like Heira, her mouth was tightly shut, no, she was silent.
Damn, that damn Hero guy. You’re not trying to cut Heira off because of me, are you?
Please don’t do that, no matter how annoying a kid you are, you’re a kid, but if you get into trouble like that, your future plans will be disrupted.
“Excuse me…”
Did Hei also care about Celica’s gaze?
She kept her silence all the time, but for a moment she hesitated and tried to get her words out.
“… Ear.”
Soon Celica began to open her own mouth slowly.
A scream filled with anger…
“It’s so cute~~♥”
No, Celica, who had a far cry from it, started holding Heira.
What? Are you trying to split her spine?
“Dave~ Where the hell did you get such a cute little kid? You know how much I love these guys!!”
… No, I don’t think so.
Fortunately, emotions intensified like that time, so the worst doesn’t seem to happen, but the direction was different, and it was still a difficult situation.
See even now Had Heira not grasped the situation properly, had her complexion gone pale?
“Uh, uh…”
“Hey there, what did you say your name was? Was it Heira?”
“Ugh, yeah. Hey.”
“Erom is cute too~!! How old are you there? How old are you?”
“… 102 years old.
“102 years old? Aren’t you 12?”
“I’m not 12…”
“Kyaa~!! Pretending to be an adult is cute too!”
He’s really 102 years old, man.
“Hey, can I pinch your cheek just once?”
However, as if Celica didn’t like the truth, she started teasing Heira around her cheeks.
She does it on her own, even though her acceptance hasn’t fallen yet.
“Uh, uh…”
“Look at those soft cheeks~ Dave, look at this! This kid is soft!”
“… Do it in moderation, Celica. Excuse me, Heira-san.”
Well, due to Heira’s personality, she doesn’t avoid anything that comes to her, so she won’t run amok for nothing.
By the way, did Celica have a side like that?
By the time I felt relieved, thinking, “It’s a relief that her emotions ran out of control like that,” Yumir, who was sitting on the sofa and watching the situation, started to burst into laughter as if she was dumbfounded.
“Hey, he’s really ready to bite and suck. Would I be like that if I were 10 years younger?”
“… Well, it’s fortunate that we’re on good terms.”
Of course, Celica was more of a one-sided wielder, but even if she forced her approach, if the results were not bad, she would eventually be accepted.
Because that kid followed me in the first place was almost done that way.
If you think of that kind of personality, you’ll become friends with Celica sooner or later.
“… Hehe, is it 102 years old?”
Yes, the problem is this side rather than Celica.
Unlike Celica, who had a good first impression, I couldn’t underestimate Ymir to the point that I risked her life to capture her.
Fortunately, there is no problem since he has completely opened his heart to me, but it would be unreasonable to expect such benefits from the guy I brought.
“Dave, did you know who he was and brought him?”
…You must have noticed.
It was the effect of magic tools that made Heira’s identity hidden in the first place, and she was a great mage with excellent ability to detect mana.
“I knew you brought me here, what do you mean?”
“… It’s okay if you don’t know.”
When she did it without knowing it, Yumir shrugged her shoulders and lifted her up from her seat.
“Then I’ll wash up and come back, so I’ll ask you for dinner.”
“Ah yes. I’ll set it up right away. Celica, are you going to eat it too?”
“That’s natural. Then, I’ll wash up with Ymir, so I’ll ask you~”
Celica said it insignificantly and followed Ymir.
As she embraced her heira, the bloody aura she had seen before had vanished.
“What, let’s wash together? No matter how much we did quests together, isn’t it too fast to close the distance?”
“How are you? It’s important to wash Heyra too!”
“… There was something I was aiming for.”
Despite her grumbling, Yumir does not dissuade Celica from following her.
While she couldn’t see her, it was fortunate that she seemed to have managed to get along, but Heira still couldn’t get in between the two.
“Excuse me… That…”
Are you trying to say something but your voice is too low? In the end, the voices were buried in the bickering between the two, and Heira’s gaze naturally turned to me.
Eyes as if asking for help.
I responded with a faint smile to Heira’s gaze.
“Are you okay. Because they are both good people.”
“… Huh.”
As if feeling relieved by my words, Heira erased her reluctance and followed Ymir and Celica.
As soon as the three of them disappeared out of sight, I raised a cleaver from the kitchen to prepare a meal for the three of them.
Checking the moment when the smile reflected on the well-polished day turns into a cool look in the eyes, and making up my mind.
“Anyway, to cook properly, it’s better to prepare thoroughly.”
Take a break when you can rest.
Only then will we be able to survive tonight.
