Chapter 16 – Genoa Hits the Gura
“Captain, did something happen yesterday?”
“What, what?”
The morning after the incident with the hero.
Genoa felt his mind go numb at the question of his lieutenant asking him about the day before.
“Well, why do you ask that? Should I even report that to you?”
“It’s not like that…”
At her Genoa’s businesslike demeanor her, her lieutenant looked at her with a frustrated expression on her face.
Genoa also guessed why her adjutant asked her such a question.
He had always had her in his heart, and that is why he remained under Genoa despite her great skills in her.
The man’s name is Kyle de Baxter.
Still, the Baxter family was a prestigious family recognized in the provinces, so Genoa knew his heart her but was using it moderately.
Of course, she had no intention of accepting his heart.
“But why are you asking that?”
“Actually, there are some rumors among the subordinates…”
At Genoa’s question, Kyle showed a troubled expression and blurted out his words of her.
Even if he did n’t bother to finish her words of her, Genoa seemed to know what he was trying to say.
A young man and woman were in a tent for quite some time at night.
Moreover, the man received the right to wish from the woman.
No matter how much he was a paladin, it was obvious that the men in the military-like organization would think of it at that moment.
“What, what absurd misunderstanding are you talking about?”
Genoa yelled at Kyle, blushing.
It was a suspicious reaction to anyone, but Kyle, who somehow wanted to believe in Genoa, believed her words her straight away.
“U-isn’t it?”
“Sure! I am from the Darius family. Of course such a vulgar…”
No one had ever said anything vulgar about him, but Genoa, who had a numb foot, said it himself.
Seeing Kyle’s expression change strangely, Genoa hurriedly followed her back.
“I had nothing to do with that vulgar man.”
Knowing how much Genoa values her family her, Kyle looked relieved at her words her and stroked her chest her.
However, it is true that her doubts that she have not completely disappeared.
“… So, what the hell happened inside?”
“Did nothing happen?”
“The hero gave up his wish his?”
At Kyle’s question, Genoa broke into a cold sweat behind her.
Even in her opinion of her, she was no fool to give up the right to wish.
But she was Genoa, no one else.
She was a woman who hadn’t happened yet, but in order to survive, she sacrificed all the people in a region as sacrifices to the demon lord’s army and spread outrageous lies.
“Ah, I begged you, I begged you.”
“… What was your wish?”
“That is…”
Genoa, not knowing what she was talking about, started talking her way to Kyle.
Compared to how she usually treats Kyle, she has a considerably louder voice and a lot of nonsense, but Genoa herself doesn’t notice that.
No, she was actually Genoa, who didn’t even know what she was talking about.
Unfortunately, it was Kyle who was listening to her bullshit her.
It was a lie full of flaws no matter who heard it, but Kyle did not doubt Genoa’s words of hers.

“Are you crazy?”
“What?”
I frowned as I saw the saintess who came suddenly and got angry.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was because she had no reason to be so angry with me.
No, no matter what I did, she had no right to be angry with me.
“Do you write that wish that way?”
“… What do you mean?”
But the words that came out of Marian’s mouth piqued my curiosity.
It was because I wondered if the fact that I had asked Genoa to suck her cock last night was a rumor.
Of course, even if such rumors spread, it didn’t matter much.
Someone would accuse the hero of doing such a nasty thing, but I just ignored the criticism.
No, it didn’t seem so bad to slit the critic’s throat.
“Haa, I heard you said that you wanted to stay with Genoa as her friend?”
“What?”
I looked at Marian with an absurd expression.
Are you her friend? Who? I? And with that Genoa?
“No? Did the Paladins say that? I heard that the hero was afraid of arguing with the Darius family, so he came out with a low profile?”
While I was making an absurd expression, the saintess threw a bomb of questions at me with her expression her feeling something strange.
As I listened to the saintess’ words, I was able to understand her situation.
‘They said they couldn’t change my habit.’
Year Genoa seems to be lying again.
I knew it was trash from the beginning, but this was more than I expected.
The moment I was thinking about how to temper Genoa.
“… There. Is it okay for a while? I would like to have a conversation.”
I could see Genoa coming up to me and talking like that while hesitating.
It was only natural that the eyes of the paladins, who were cleaning up the campsite, were focused on me and Genoa.
Genoa, where she had an accident, was looking at me with a very troubled expression, and Saint Marian was openly showing her hostility toward Genoa.
‘Ha, this year…’
It was obvious why the saintess reacted like that.
She doesn’t want to see Genoa get a spoon from the treasure she found called the hero.
I was offended by the saintess’ attitude of her, so she decided to raise her hand to her to Genoa for now.
“Great. Branch.”
“What, what is it? Really? Are you two going to be friends?”
I easily ignored the saintess’ words and followed Genoa.
“Oh oh! It seems the two of you are really close.”
“I know. As expected, the reputation of the Darius family seems to have spread to places like this.”
As I and Genoa walked together, I heard the chatter of knights.
Unless you’re deaf, Genoa must have heard their voices too.
Not to mention, Genoa, who had been stabbed, was twitching his shoulders whenever he heard the voices of the paladins.
“What, what are you doing?”
I smiled at the embarrassed Genoa.
The reason she blushed in surprise was simple.
Because I put my arm around her shoulder her.
“Looks like you two are really close.”
“I know. I can’t believe it’s that Genoa.”
“Hey, the opponent is still a hero. Not like us.”
As if my actions were quite unconventional, the Paladins murmured again.
I stared at Genoa’s hardened face at the reaction of the paladins, and whispered in her ear.
“Are you friends? Is it not?”
**
“Now, if it’s come out this far, there’s no one to see it, so explain it.”
In the woods, a short distance from where we camped last night.
I asked with a sarcastic smile at Genoa, who kept his mouth shut.
“That, that… All for you.”
“Was it for me? Interesting.”
I looked at Genoa with curiosity at the unexpected words.
“Yo, wouldn’t it be nice if rumors spread that the hero forced you to do such a vulgar and dirty thing? So I just covered it up.”
“Under!”
I finally burst into laughter at Genoa’s words in her.
Seriously, this year hasn’t changed at all.
No, it was later that Genoa-year-old acted like a dog, so it would be more accurate to say that the fundamentals were bad.
‘Is there any happiness circuit embedded in the head? How could he make such an excuse?’
Rather, I was admiring the consistent appearance of Genoa.
He seems to think that an excuse that makes no sense no matter who he hears it is quite plausible to himself.
“I’m sorry what? I don’t care if there are rumors?”
“What, what?”
“No, to put it bluntly, since I received the service of the youngest daughter of the great Darius family, isn’t it a medal for a man? Oh, I hadn’t thought of that, but I guess I should brag.”
“This, such a vulgar bastard… !!”
Genoa frowned as if he was indignant at my words.
Then, as if she had thought of something else, she changed her attitude and started looking at me pitifully.
“Who will believe the words of someone who doesn’t even know the basics like you?”
Well?
Like she said, if Genoa pulled it off all the way, it might end up being something that never happened last night.
Because I didn’t have any evidence.
However, it was only in public, and probably quite a few people behind her would gossip about me.
Originally, human beings gossip about others and enjoy watching others fall.
“That’s right, you’ll know when you try.”
I knew that Genoa was a woman who could not stand even those nasty rumors about her.
Eventually, not long after, Genoa raised the white flag.
“Great. I get it. I will put other conditions on it.”
“Other conditions?”
I looked at her, interested again in her Genoa’s words in her.
“The rematch we talked about yesterday. Do not apply now And if I win, I’ll leave today’s matter behind.”
Genoa glared at me, and she placed her hand on her sword.
I smiled at her like that.
Perhaps she was convinced that yesterday’s match was lost because she was careless.
“Why? Is she not confident?”
“Ah, good. Instead, if you lose another four years, you will definitely swallow it this time.”
I responded to Genoa’s provocation of her, and then she nodded her head with a red face.
