Chapter 76 – Weapons (4)
-Gulp
Russ carefully placed a small bottle of solution in it.
The pink solution glowed brightly.
If she’s right, this is probably…
“…Weak..?”
– Toutuk.
Russ staggers at the sound behind her.
I was started and almost lost my leg strength.
She quickly put her medicine back in the box and closed it.
-Tower!
Ham shuts her mouth again.
The bright surroundings become very slightly dark.
At the same time, Aid party members appeared, stepping on the ruins of the collapsed outer wall.
“Russ, are you okay?”
Fioren came limping first and asked.
“…”
Siondo saw Russ standing up and she secretly let out her sigh of relief.
“Gwa, it’s okay.”
“What were you doing?”
Stion asks.
“What is that behind?”
“…So this is…”
Russ hesitated for a moment.
The reason was that she herself did not know.
In exchange for her words her, Russ twisted her body her to show her body her to the members of her aide party.
“… A treasure chest?”
Payne says, scratching her head.
It was a more blunt response than I expected.
“…That’s right.”
“It comes out without even trying. So Russ, her body her.”
Sion also asked Russ as if he was not interested.
“Uh..? But this is all…”
“You see it often when you do A-class missions. That’s okay, are you hurt?”
“..Swing..”
Russ replied, taking another look at her own body of hers.
It was hard for her to keep her eyes from moving to the box.
“Russ, why did you do that?”
Fioren grabs Russ and asks.
“… You could have been seriously hurt. Aren’t you supposed to go back to Starchis?”
It was a mixture of regret and gratitude at the same time.
“…I think Fioren-nee will get hurt even more..”
“..Under..”
Fioren let out a deep sigh and she hugged Russ.
“…Thank you so much. Because I was immature, I put this burden on you.”
“…No.”
She used to hug her, but Russ was taller than Fioren, so Fioren looked like she was being hugged.
Russ’ eyes turned to perseverance.
Noticing her gaze her, Stion spoke to her.
“Do you want to have it?”
“Yes?”
“What are you so surprised about? Take it if you want it.”
“Is that ok? Everyone should share..”
“Do you think we’ll run out of money? And, even if it’s not that, you caught two of the sky’s weapons. He also rescued Hackseed, so there are rewards and debts as well.”
“…”
Russ hesitated, but this time Fioren stepped forward.
“It’s okay, sweetie. Take it. I want to give more to my heart. And, wouldn’t it be better to consider it as a gift from the first request we received?”
What’s in the box is weak.
I don’t know what kind of weakness it is,
Judging by the color… It seemed to be the kind of aphrodisiac Russ was looking for.
“And Stion takes care of you even more because you did well. Take it when you have a chance.”
“Don’t interpret it arbitrarily, Fioren.”
Everyone says you can push your back and take it.
It was hard to refuse.
I kept getting greedy.
‘If there was only that, perhaps Starches…’
Swallow again
“Uh? Are you swallowing the pretty girl?! Ahahahaha!! Did you want that?”
“Yes?”
Fioren, who was nearby, started teasing Russ.
“Aw, how cute..! Take it!”
“That, so..!”
“Okay, you take it, Russ.”
Stion decides.
The medicine rolled into her hand.
I’ll have to get a feeling to know exactly what this is.
I couldn’t help but keep my heart beating.
I haven’t been able to make a definitive decision yet.
If this is the kind of aphrodisiac she thought,
Can I feed Starches?
The desire to have him
My conscience fought against me not to do that to him.
Even the moment he leaves him, can he survive without using aphrodisiacs?
Russ wasn’t sure.
At any rate, he didn’t want to write.
All he had to do was love her.
That’s it.
…But it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with having it.
“Let’s stop wasting time and go back. Sayra will be worried.”
Russ also now thinks of the people who will wait for her.
Who is it, she ponders.
She doesn’t even have many of her friends.
Who will wait for her?
Starchis has a lover.
Will you wait?
…Russ wants him to wait,
I wished you would be concerned.
****
“We’re here Sayra~”
Stion entered the base with the same voice.
It wasn’t his usual form of him, but he was trying to look like it.
“Guys!!”
Stion’s efforts were unnecessary.
Seira was already furious.
As she rose from her seat, she threw herself at Stion.
“100 million!”
Stion almost falls over as Seira flies into her arms her.
Before he could say anything, she started to cry.
“Why did it take so long!!”
“Oh, go away, I’m sick!”
Starchis let out a big sigh.
I saw Russ’ face in her.
All of the other Aid party members seemed unharmed.
“…I’m here, Chis.”
Starchis also ran like Seira and hugged Russ.
Starchis ‘cheek touched Russ’neck her.
“…Thank god.”
“S, Starchis?”
Closing her eyes her makes Russ’ face red even when she’s about to collapse.
I forcibly endured the loss of strength in my legs.
Russ felt ecstatic.
Tears seemed to come out of her.
It was his arms that he missed so much.
I was happy that he cared about me so much.
Fioren stabbed Russ with her elbow without Stachis’ knowledge.
Then he went behind Starchis and shrugged his eyebrows at Russ.
Embarrassed by Fioren’s teasing her, she told Stachis that it was okay, and she was about to say something to get away, but she just shut her mouth tightly.
“Five?”
Fioren continues to tease her.
But Russ wanted to enjoy this moment longer.
Russ also reached out to hold Stachis.
And the moment she tries to hug his back her…
Starchis pushed her away.
“Are you okay, Russ?”
“Ah..? Uh… Uh yes. It’s okay.”
“You really..! I can’t go ahead.”
“Yes?”
“Hyung, why are you so late this time?”
Stachis asked Stion as if to argue.
In his arms his was the fainting Seira.
As the accumulated fatigue and tension were relieved, it seemed that he could not hold on any longer.
“Something happened, I’ll explain later. Oh, and Starchis.”
“Why.”
“Russ will follow us from now on. There was only one limit you set. Don’t add more now.”
“That’s right Starches. Russ is fine.”
“It’s hard, Starchis.”
Boyle, Demir, Fioren, Payne, and other members of Aid’s party all united to defend Russ.
Feeling frustrated, Stachis called Stion.
“Brother!!”
“There is something worth raising. If you don’t want to see Russ following us, get her arm her well soon.”
“No. What if there is another day like today…!”
“They said it wouldn’t be good to raise a younger brother..! Yumma! Please worry about me too!”
Stion expresses his sorrow.
“You came back well by being hugged by me~ You can do that for me!”
“Why are you talking all of a sudden?”
“I’m saying don’t worry, Stachis! Russ has more skills than you think, okay? Worry about you!”
Stion looked at Stachis’ arm with his.
“When will it get better?”
“No, how long has it been since you’ve been rehabilitated?”
“I hope you get well soon. Aigoo..”
Stion suddenly shrugged his shoulders while holding Seira with a sound like inspiration.
He also seemed to have accumulated a lot of physical burden.
“…I’m going in.”
Stion handed Seira over to Fioren.
Then climb up her stairs and disappear.
– Tuk-tuk.
Russ patted Stachis on the back.
“… Thanks for your concern, Chis.”
“…How can you not be worried when you’re close?”
“Hehe…”
She laughs.
Starchis was able to see her with her little bit of slack now.
“What is that?”
As soon as Russ entered the stronghold, Starchis asked, pointing to the box she had put down.
“Uh? Ah, nothing!”
“Why are you so surprised, Russ?”
“That, that… “
“I’ll have to check it out.”
Starchis played a prank on Russ.
But she reacted too violently.
“Aaaaah!! No!”
Starchis paused for a moment before staring at Russ.
It’s been a long time since she looked like this.
“…”
“…That… Really can’t…”
Russ picked up the box and held it in her arms as if she were handling her child her.
She didn’t know what it was, but it seemed that she really didn’t want to show it.
“… Just kidding, Russ. You can’t see it.”
“…After…”
She let out a sigh of relief.
“Russ, shouldn’t you go and rest too?”
Starchis tries to cheer her up and worries about her.
“..That..That. I should go and rest too. Yes.”
“Take me?”
“Uh?”
Starchis said she had a girlfriend in the meantime, and she didn’t see Russ or the other members of the Barefoot party off.
But now, he says he’ll take you home.
“It’s okay?”
“Are you really okay? If you go alone.”
Russ seemed to have a good answer here.
She may have teased her mouth the wrong way for no reason and she may have to go back on her own.
“…I’d be grateful if you took me there.”
Starchis smiled.
“Is it not?”
Russ stared blankly at that smile.
It would be nice if it was her own
It was a nice smile.
Russ hugged the box in her arms her a little tighter.
