Chapter 27 – The Kid Who Wants to Punish
The moment Horde saw the sentence drawn on the cloak, the old memories that Horde drove into a corner of his head began to come to mind one by one.
Horde’s family, who heard the news that the demon army had captured the castle and continued to advance, hurriedly fled with little money to avoid the demon army.
Horde lost his parents on the route of evacuation, now called the March of Pain.
There was nothing to eat, no place to sleep, and the three of them couldn’t survive together in a harsh situation with the demon army chasing after them.
The Horde had barely arrived at another nearby village, but only a few felt pity for the people of the ruined country.
For those with high social status, refugees were nothing more than useless predators.
For those with a low status, refugees were potential competitors who might take away their rice bowls.
In this turbulent world, from city to city, Horde has rummaged through his garbage cans for nothing to eat, and in the dead of winter, he has managed to survive by stripping the clothes of his dead friends.
As a result of living so desperately, I met Hero and the others and my life got a little better.
As his life improved, he was trying to erase things from his hometown a little bit, but when he saw the coat of arms of the Azul Kingdom today, the memories of that time came to mind again.
‘While I’m living so hard, those bastards… !!’
Even the Horde knew very well that a small country like the Azul Kingdom could not stop the invasion of the Demon King’s army.
However, when I saw the knights of the ruined country who were unable to protect the country even though I knew it in my head, becoming adventurers like that, my fists clenched.
Besides, why is it that he has the crest of a country he couldn’t even protect because he’s so handsome?
‘Mothers…’
Suddenly, he recalled the hero he had ridiculed after learning that he was from Azul Kingdom, and when he looked at the hero, a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
It was not an illusion either.
Seeing that he still laughed at the fact that he was a knight of the Azul Kingdom, it was clear that he had laughed at himself the day they first met.
On the outside, he pretended to be good by himself, but on the inside, he laughed at those who were worse off than him.
‘A disgusting hypocrite.’
Horde glared at the champion in silence, swallowing the words that had risen to the top of his throat.
*****
After all the adventurers of the Azul Kingdom climbed the airship, Hero and the others looked around the airship.
Huge airships were mostly used to transport a lot of cargo, and even in these airships, workers were moving loads.
‘Is the mission of the knights of the kingdom just escorting cargo transport?’
The hero’s guess was plausible, but there were monsters attacking airships in the world, so escort adventurers rode with them.
Some of the adventurers in Azul Kingdom had bows on their backs, and if they were knights, they could have slashed enemies with swords, so it was a reasonable guess.
‘Just… It would be nice to be able to pass quietly.’
Looking at the adventurers wearing armor and moving in perfect order, Lina said to the hero who thought so.
“Hero, take this.”
“Huh?”
What Lina handed over was the key to the cabin of the airship that Lina had grabbed.
Thanks to the ticket given by this magazine, I was able to reserve a good room, and all the party members, including the warrior,
I was assigned a private room.
All the party members were unpacking their belongings in the private room, and the hero thought it was an opportunity to hand over presents when Lina and the two of them were left alone.
“Lina, this…”
Having received her key from Lina, the hero handed Lina the glove she picked out with Martha earlier just before entering her private room.
“Huh? What’s this?”
Seeing the gloves tightly packed in her luxurious box, Lina tilted her head, not knowing what it was.
“It’s Lina, so try unpacking it.”
“…”
Following the hero’s words, Lina opened the package and saw her contents inside. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the gloves in her box and her own gloves.
The gloves in her box were brown leather gloves, similar in shape to Lina’s.
However, as it was her new product, it did not wear at all, and the material and finish of the leather were much better than Lina’s gloves.
And on the back of her hand, a flower pattern was embroidered with white thread.
“Come to think of it, it seems like I always get help from Rina, so she prepared a gift for her as a thank you… Would you like something else?”
“…”
Lina looked at her gloves in her box and she froze for a while, then she suddenly raised her hand and caressed her gloves and burst into tears.
“Lee, Rina, what’s wrong?!”
When Lina suddenly burst into tears, the hero asked Lina, who was embarrassed and wiped the tears with her sleeve.
“Huh! Oh no… Just remembering the old days…”
It was her memory of getting her birthday present for none other than her own first child.
At that time, she had been given a wreath made of flowers, but it was not flowers, but seeing the gloves her warrior gave her, Lina remembered that time.
“Warrior… Would you mind bending over for a second?”
He was a warrior who still had no idea what was going on, but for now, as Lina ordered, he quietly bowed down.
– Wow!
Then Lina put her arms around her warrior’s neck and held it, and she stroked her warrior’s head with one hand, she said.
“Lee, Rina?”
Unlike her bewildered hero, Lina said calmly as she stroked her hero’s head.
“Thank you… I will use these gloves well.”
“Yes…”
I don’t know what it is, but she thinks that Lina is happy, so the hero thought she was happy and said with a smile.
“Lina is happy, so I am happy too. Oh, and I chose those gloves together with Martha.”
“With Martha? Then… I’ll say thank you to him later.”
“Do it, Martha will be happy too.”
As Lina and her warrior, who had released her embrace, waited on the deck for the airship to rise, the other party members who had unpacked their luggage in their private rooms before her came up on the deck one by one.
“Warrior… The airship is coming soon.”
“Okay?”
“The captain said so. However…”
YuRia looked at the box Lina was holding after she stopped talking and asked her while tilting her head.
“Lina, what is that?”
“This? It’s a secret, a secret.”
Seeing Lina’s mischievous look on her face, Yuria seemed a bit dissatisfied, but that was all she did and she didn’t say anything about her.
– Boo Woo Woo!!
After waiting for a while, just as YuRia said, the boat began to shake gradually with a booing sound.
The shivering ship gradually began to soar toward the sky, and in an instant flew high into the sky through the clouds.
“Wow… “
When this huge airship really floated up, the hero exclaimed and looked at the people and buildings that looked as small as ants.
While everyone was intoxicated by the night view of Mardis, Yuria said to the warrior who was watching the night view while leaning on the handrail of the airship.
“… The warrior over there.”
“What’s the matter?”
“… I have something to tell you about magic training, can you spare me a minute?”
“Now? I’m fine…”
“Then let’s go quickly.”
After she gave her permission, Yuria hurriedly led her hero’s arm to her room, avoiding Martha’s eyes.
*****
‘What do you mean… You got caught by Marta while trying to seduce Hero with a breast a while ago.’
The elf says he has good ears, but did he notice it after hearing the conversation with Martha earlier?
However, since she knew the contents in an unusually detailed way for such a thing, it bothered Yuria.
‘What was that…’
‘As Martha said earlier, the hero went to apologize to the Horde that day. Do you know what the Horde said to the hero at that time?’
Apparently, when I heard that tone, it seemed that Rina was also there at that time.
Yuria, who knew more about the Horde than the other party members, clicked her tongue inwardly.
‘… Considering the selfish nature of that man, he must have asked me not to touch him anymore.’
Because of that, Yuria could no longer touch the hero.
‘… It’s over now. She even went to Horde and apologized… How could a hero lay a hand on me… ?’
‘… I guess so. But what if the Horde allowed me to touch it then?’
Upon hearing her words, Yuria, who had been keeping her head down, lifted her head and looked at Lina.
‘Uh? Ha, but it can’t be…’
Thinking she couldn’t do that, Yuria remembered that Lina in front of her was there at the time, and she asked Lina.
‘Uh, why did you do that?’
‘Well… I don’t think it’s anything special. Is it just a whim?’
‘… Thanks anyway.’
‘Thank you… So what are you going to do next?’
‘I’ve been thinking about that.’
Yuria’s plan was like this. She makes her magic training a secret with the hero under the pretext that Martha will hate it.
And after using her magical training to gradually increase the level of contact with her body, she somehow induces sexual activity with herself.
‘There is no possibility…’
Lina asked YuRia, who was contemplating when she would call her hero.
‘Didn’t he say thank you to me?’
‘… Huh. I did, but why?’
‘… Then will you do me one favor?’
At the words of her request, Yuria’s eyes lit up with a light of doubt.
‘Ask? That is… What?’
‘It’s not that difficult… Just open the door a little during that training session.’
It wasn’t difficult, but Yuria tilted her head at Lina’s request, who couldn’t understand her intentions.
‘… Why?’
‘Little… There’s a kid I want to punish. Just know that.’
She wanted to refuse Lina’s request, but she couldn’t because her weakness was caught.
YuRia happily nodded her head and said.
‘What… It’s fine. Please don’t do anything strange.’
*****
Yuria, who led her hero to her own room, left her door slightly open as Rina said, and sat down with her hero on her bed.
“Um…”
And when the hero remembered the last time they had been training together and tried to distance themselves slightly, YuRia held her arm even tighter.
“Here is the warrior… I heard about it.”
As she floated her rhyme, the hero’s arm trembled slightly as she felt guilty when she thought of Horde, who would have told YuRia about it.
Thinking that she was her colleague, she made him say such a thing to him, so how could he not feel guilty?
“… Since then, she’s been thinking about it, no matter how much she’s trained and given permission, but I don’t think this is a bit…”
“I’ve said it before, but it’s all for a good cause, so you don’t have to worry too much about it.”
“Still… This isn’t the only way, and I wonder if I should do it this way.”
“… Then, will the hero be able to jump over the wall he is feeling right now?”
“Ugh…”
When he demanded immediate results, the warrior could not bear to answer and had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
As if giving an extra blow to such a hero, Yuria continued.
“Actually, there is a more reliable way than just doing it by hand…”
“… What is that?”
The hero’s voice was not so good, perhaps because he expected a not-so-good answer.
“… You feel mana directly with your heart, not your hands. That’s why it’s directly chest to chest.”
As YuRia said that and tried to take off her jacket like that day, the hero grabbed her hand as she took off her clothes and said,
“Yuria! It’s a sin to touch it with your hands, how could you do such a shameless thing… !”
“… Wouldn’t it be better for the Horde and the champion if it ended sooner? Or do you like taking more time?”
“Eww… !”
As the hero’s hand slowly loosened up, Yuria whispered into the hero’s ear.
“It’s all for the cause… Do you intend to destroy the hearts of the Horde who sacrificed themselves for the greater good?”
“…”
As her hero’s hand weakened even more, Yuria shook off her hero’s hand and took off her jacket.
“It’s all for a cause, so it’s all right…”
YuRia said that and got on top of the hero whose face turned blue with guilt.
She looked through the crack in the door without noticing her piercing golden eyes staring at her.
