Chapter 44 – Cuts
In the ambiguous hour between night and dawn, Martha came out to catch her breath.
After coming to this city, Marta, who had nothing to do, devoted herself to divine power training every day.
Marta wasn’t the only one working on his self-discipline. Although he played with the Horde, Mirian did not forget his duty.
As evidence of that, if she listened closely even now, she could hear the sound of her sword swinging silently from behind her inn.
‘The warrior… What are you supposed to be doing right now?’
In the middle of the night, she heard the sound of a sword swinging. Martha looked at the white city wall in the distance and remembered the face of a warrior.
To be honest, whatever Yuria was doing, Marta didn’t care at all.
However, she was worried that the hero would stay up all night again to train her magic, saying that Martha was not there.
‘… Can’t we go for a while?’
Marta says that she is not a wizard, but she hires another wizard to accompany her inside.
However, Martha did not want to disturb the hero who was diligently training her magic.
‘It would be nice if you would come out of the library sometime or write me a letter…’
Feeling that regret, she is about to go inside again to train her divine power.
-Widely! Widely! Widely!
She heard loud footsteps in the distance, thinking it might be a giant running.
Wanting something, she turned her head to see a warrior running toward the lodging, holding something on his chest, raising dust.
“Hero?!”
“Martha! It’s urgent! Hurry up and look at him!”
I don’t know what happened, but Martha, judging that she was in an emergency, hurriedly approached the hero.
“Where did he get hurt?”
“It is not traumatic! I hadn’t heard that I was sick, but during magic training, I suddenly collapsed in a profuse sweat!”
If so, what kind of problems have arisen with things related to mana?
Although divine power can heal any wound or disease, if there was a problem related to mana, Martha might not be able to cure it.
“Let’s take a look. Hero, please take off the bed sheet he is covering.”
“Huh!”
When the hero removed the bed sheet covering Allen Bout, his blushing Allen Bout was there, with his chest almost exposed.
“… ?”
It was so small compared to the size of the bed sheet that covered Allenbout that I vaguely thought it was a child.
However, although her body was as weak as that of a child, seeing the curves of her face and body showed Allen Baut, who seemed to be an adult, and Marta stiffened as it was.
“Martha? What’s the matter? Could it be that this is a serious problem?!”
“Oh that… No. Let’s take a look now.”
Embarrassed, Martha puts her hand on Allen Bout’s body and activates her miracle.
‘This… Poison?’
After activating a miracle and examining Allenbout’s body, Martha noticed that Allenbout’s body was poisonous.
Fortunately, the miasma inside the body was not the kind that destroyed the body, but an aphrodisiac.
“It’s not that serious compared to how you fell like this.”
“Okay? Thank god…”
Hearing those words, the warrior sat down on the floor as if relieved.
Perhaps she was worried about Allen Bout holding her in her arms, Marta, seeing that, unknowingly put strength in her hands.
“First of all… Why don’t we do this in the middle of the street, so let’s go inside.”
The hero listened to Martha’s words and hugged Allenbaut, who had fallen to the floor, and chased after Martha.
The hero who went into Martha’s room and carefully put the Allenbaut on the bed said to Martha.
“Then I will be out.”
“Would you mind not watching?”
“Huh. With Marta, she can feel at ease. And… I’m sorry to see Allenbaut’s inner flesh any more.”
After saying that, the warrior went outside, and Martha cleansed all the aphrodisiacs in Allenbout’s body.
As all the aphrodisiacs in his body were purified, Allenbaut’s rough breathing became light as if he had just fallen asleep.
“First… This urgent situation has been resolved…”
Martha looked at Allen Bout’s face, which had changed to a comfortable expression, as if she was asleep.
Her face, to be honest, was cute even when the same woman, Allen Bout, looked at it.
Her delicate doll-like appearance and delicate limbs stimulated the desire for protection that everyone has in the viewer.
‘The warrior… I wonder if a child like this is what he likes.’
Since Martha grew up, she has never thought that her charm was inferior, but her charm has a direction.
Could it be that the hero’s taste is a cute child that makes this kind of protective desire spring up?
‘Oh… ! I still do skin care with divine power… I’d rather try a more childish hairstyle. Whether it’s a double-headed hair…’
While thinking about that, Allen Boutt shuddered at her and slowly opened her eyes.
“Eww… !”
Maybe he hasn’t come to his senses yet, but Allenbaut gave out a short groan and rolled his eyes with a hazy expression.
Before long, if she had come to her senses a little bit, Allen Baut asked Martha next to her in a voice not awake from her slumber.
“You…”
“Hello~! My name is Martha, a priest belonging to Hero Yoa’s party.”
“Fuse… Oh, is that so…”
With just those words, Allen Bout, who had roughly grasped her circumstances, managed to get her body up and bow her head to Martha.
“Looks like you’ve taken care of yourself. Compensation and medical expenses later…”
“No. It happened while teaching our hero’s magic, so I’ll decline the treatment fee and reward money because it seems like he’s ignoring his sincerity.”
“… I don’t think I’ll be able to get it even if I force it, so I’ll think of it in lieu of tuition.”
Allen Bout got out of bed and adjusted his clothes so that his breasts were not visible.
And when he noticed that there was no hero in the room, he asked Martha.
“By the way, where is he?”
“If you’re talking about the hero, he’s waiting outside saying he’s sorry to see Allenbaut’s inner body.”
“I don’t need to worry about it…”
As Allen Bout said, her face blushed, Martha was sure that the uneasiness she had felt from the first time she saw Allen Bout was correct.
“That guy… Did you bring me here while being addicted to aphrodisiacs… He thinks of me to the extent that he doesn’t care about his own body…”
“The hero is resistant to that kind of poison, so it doesn’t matter. Considering that you were fine even when you came here, I don’t think you’ve heard much about weak medicine!”
“… I see. Come to think of it, he seemed fine in his room.”
Hearing Martha’s words, Allen Bout felt uncomfortable, but when he looked at Marta, who smiled and said that he couldn’t spit on her smile, he couldn’t say anything.
“But even if that were the case, just not touching my defenseless body would be a big deal…” .”
“Our warrior… He is not a scoundrel who lays hands on her when a woman is defenseless. Also, are you overestimating her self-attractiveness?”
“… What?”
Hearing Martha’s words, Allenbaut’s calm expression gradually distorted to match the cute doll-like appearance.
Unlike Allen Bout, whose expression was distorted, Marta’s expression seemed to be just smiling, but if you look closely, the smile is dark.
“I’ve been wondering since before, what relationship do you have with him? I don’t see her as a lover or anything like that…”
“Like I said before… They’re just friends in the same party. What… Although they are closer than other party members.”
Saying that, Martha brushed her hair, and the white daisy-shaped earrings on Martha’s ears lit up in the moonlight.
Then, as Martha caressed her ear lobe, as if to show off her earring, Allen Baut narrowed her brow and asked Martha.
“That… What are earrings?”
“Ah, this is a gift from the hero. Even though she said so much that it would be misunderstood if she presented accessories like this to a woman, she didn’t dare to give such a gift…”
“… The woman was not the problem.”
After saying that, Allen Baut, who left Martha behind and headed outside, looked back at Martha before opening the door and said,
“These earrings are pretty. He has a surprisingly good sense.”
“I think so too. The hero is unexpectedly smart…”
“But I don’t think it suits you very well. Would you lend me a minute to see if it suits me?”
“… Don’t even dream.”
*****
“Allenbout!”
The warrior who had been waiting outside, waiting for Allenbout to come to his senses, ran right after Allenbout came out.
“Are you okay now?”
“Are you okay. And it’s nothing, so there’s no need to fuss.”
In fact, thanks to Martha’s excellent skills, it was Allen Bautt who could see the face of her father who had passed away at the time, but now it was nothing.
“Thank god. However… Did you ever have a chronic illness?”
“No… It’s just that I wasn’t feeling well today.”
“Since mana might be a problem, why not refrain from such training in the future?”
When Martha spoke, Allen Bout frowned at her in annoyance.
“Since when did you teach magic at the temple? It’s not like that, so don’t say anything weird. I’ll be looking for you again tomorrow night, so throw away all those scented candles.”
“Scented candles? Didn’t you say you like the smell of peaches?”
At the words of the hero, Allen Bout said with his hands trembling.
“… Starting today, my least favorite food is peaches. Don’t even bring up peaches in front of me.”
“I don’t know what… I’ll put the scented candles out of sight. If I just throw it away, I feel sorry for YuRia for giving it away.”
“Yuria… Oh, that’s what it was.”
For some reason, the mere mention of Yuria’s name made Marta feel as if the skit that had taken place that night was right in front of her eyes.
“However… Did you see my breasts while I was moving?”
“… Sorry, it’s an emergency, so I had no choice…”
She lowered her head as if the hero had no face, and Martha, who was next to her, spoke in a high-pitched voice.
“It doesn’t wear out… No, you don’t even have a heart to wear out, so why do you kill our hero with such a thing?”
“Noisy. Anyway, it’s true that I saw what I was told not to look at. She closes her eyes for a moment and I’ll forgive you for that.”
“Eyes? I don’t know what… I got it once.”
Because of the crime he had committed, the hero quietly closed his eyes, and at the same time, Allenbaut’s body began to float in the air.
‘Look there…’
With the intention of showing off to Martha, Allenbout went up in the air and headed for the hero to take the hero’s lips…
“…”
The place Allenbout’s lips touched was not the warrior’s lips, but the back of Martha’s hand.
From the moment she told her to close her eyes, Martha’s hand moved first, having somehow foreseen that this would happen.
“Cut.”
“Tsk…”
When Allenbaut clicked his tongue and the hero opened his eyes, there were Allenbaut and Martha, who turned their backs to each other.
“Allenbout, I already opened my eyes, but is it okay if I open them now?”
“You can float. Rather than that, don’t call me Allenbout anymore.”
“Uh? Then, shall I call you Master or Teacher from now on?”
“Rose.”
“Rose?”
“That’s my name. Call me like that from now on. Allenbout is a surname. You will get confused if you meet other family members, so call me Rose from now on.”
“Okay. Egg… Rose.”
Rose looked with satisfaction at the warrior who spoke her own name, and soared high into the sky.
“Good. Well, it’s late today, so I’ll leave. See you again tomorrow.”
“Huh. See you tomorrow.”
Just like that, Rose disappeared far away, and Martha muttered in a small voice that no one could hear.
“… A strong enemy.”
