Chapter 25
“N…here, ah, you!”
“You’re awake?”
I approach the now awake Yui .
“Do-don’t come any closer, ita, why are you here…”
Her forehead is wrinkled; she seems to be in pain .
This is what happens when you push yourself even when it hurts .
I place a finger on her lips .
-shhi, I tell her to be quiet .
Yui sees my finger and looking at my face stops talking .
“Good, listen to what I say quietly . Your foot, if you move it forcibly does it hurt?”
Yui nods .
“Now, I’ll explain the situation . First, the injury to your foot is from you fall from a cliff . A rock was imbedded in your stomach, and you also had a fever, so, you have been unconscious until now . ”
Then I separate my finger from Yui’s lips .
“I-”
“-By the way, didn’t I jump from the cliff top and save you? So, your so called savior is this guy . ”
Like a high-pressure salesman I talk .
“I am . But, you don’t need to express you gratitude . ”
Yui responds with an upset face .
I will help you even if you hate it . I do it because I like it .
“There is no need for thanks . ”
“…what kind of thing?”
Her expression does not change very much, but she looks suspicious .
“It’s because I look you . Now rest in bed . ”
Hearing me Yui’s eyebrows lower and she frowns slightly .
Seeing that I continue talking .
“So, I will nurse you until you recover with the head of this house . ”
Hearing what I say, she smiles .
“You, are you stupid?”
“Ah, I’m stupid . Why did I help you after the last time? Because I have a question and want to continue the conversation . ”
“Ask me . ”
“…First of all, it’s about this place…the forest here is shrouded in thick fog . But, you can relax . For some reason there no monsters here . We’re now in a house on a slightly elevated hill . ”
Yui then looks around the room .
I continue talking without minding it .
“…So, after you passed out I wandered around the forest filled with thick fog . Luckily I happened to tumble across someone living here and they agreed to help . ”
“I see…”
“By the way, I told the husband of the couple living here that you and I are lovers . ”
“Wh-wh-why…”
She seems to have become upset .
Ma, that is how it is . I try to remind her .
“You helped me, a professional killer . Why would you do something like that?”
“Well, even if you ask…”
“Do you understand?”
A little forceful, I glare at her and talk .
“…I…I don’t mind it . ”
I do not know if my influence worked, but Yui seems to understand .
And at that moment, the master of the house walks in wearing a robe .
“Ah, your lover-san has come around . ”
“Aah, uh, ya!”
Speaking lively I hug Yui .
I rest my cheek on her head too .
Her cheeks seem to be a bit red, is it a coincidence?
It looks like she is acting properly .
“Haha, good, good . It looks like lover-san is able to eat now, but since she should stay in bed I’ll bring something to eat . ”
“Ah, if it’s alright I’ll bring it . ”
“Is that so? Then, please . ”
After Danna-san lowers his head slightly he returns to the other room .
“Then, I’ll bring you something to eat . ”
She stays quiet with her head down .
Ma, her attitude is cold but I think she will eat .
I go to the next room to get food .
Rollo follows next to me as well .
The “noh mask” wife is in the next room, her posture is strait as a ruler, she is standing to the wide holding a wooden pedestal . (TL: Okay, creepy spooky . )
A wooden bowl and spoon are placed on the platter and the bowl is filled with a white soup . An appetizing smell is coming from the steaming bowl .
The smell is making me hungry .
But, the lady rather than the cooking .
The purple flower looks nice on the beautiful woman, but…
Her expression does not change, it is strange .
I am also curious about the forehead mark on the bald Danna…
This woman is far too unnatural .
The Danna pretending to not notice the woman’s behavior is odd as well .
After the noh mask wife pushes the meal into my chest she withdraws .
I stand there and receive it in silence, but I am growing increasingly interested in her wooden behavior .
Rollo begins to squint her eyes and gather her legs beneath her like she is going to chase after the wife’ retreating figure .
The cat seems to sense “something” about the wife .
She is definitely suspicious, but I should bring this food to Yui now .
I take the food to the room Yui is waiting in . She seems to be trying to move her body a little, and when I bring in the meal she smiles .
I place the meal on the bed .
“Sorry . But, it’s until the day after tomorrow . After that much time has passed…my foot will be healed . ”
She should recover soon .
The potion was really effective .
“…Ah, understood . Then, would Yui like me to feed her?”
“Iii, the shoulder wound is okay . I can already use my arm . ”
“Is that so, then I’ll go get my own food . I’d also like to ask about the area around here . ”
I go to the next room and the Danna-san and noh mask wife and sitting on straw cushions near the hearth with meals in wooden bowls in one hand .
Seeming to have been enticed by the smell, Rollo is sniffing around the kitchen area before walking over to the side of the hearth .
“You journey . It’s not much but please sit down and eat . I also prepared something for the cat . Here you go . ”
The meal I am given seems to be the same as Yui’s meal .
In the big iron pan in the center of the hearth there are root vegetables like potatoes simmering . It looks heavy and appetizing .
I accept Danna’s offer and take a seat on one of the free straw cushions .
I comfortably sit cross legged .
“Then thanks, itadakimasu . Rollo, you’ll eat too?”
“Nnnnnn . ”
She climbed onto my knee and making a weird sound in her throat seems to want to eat .
“Theta, get another serving . ”
Danna-san gives her wife an order .
His wife expressionlessly takes out another wooden bowl for the soup .
And, taking a ladle she scoops out some of the soup from the pot over the hearth and pours it into the bowl .
“Thanks . ”
There is a strange tension .
Bringing the wooden bowl to my mouth I break of a portion of one of the potatoes and put the spoon in my mouth .
Hot, hot . Although I feel uneasy, this soup is delicious . (TL: Shuya is weak to food . )
I quickly consume the think white soup filled with potatoes and white leaves .
Although Rollo’s soup is hot too she laps the soup up with her tongue just fun .
Even though she is a cat her tongue does not seem sensitive to heat .
The Danna opens his mouth and exposes his white teeth .
“Traveler-san, you seem to be okay with the meal . I apologize for Theta’s bluntness . ”
“No, no, she is a beautiful person . ” (TL: Nah man, as long as she’s hot it’s all good -Shuya)
His wife Theta’s expression changes for the first time .
She laughs awkwardly .
It is hard to describe, but I got goosebumps all over my skin after seeing her smile with that beautiful body .
The reason is because the purple flower ornament in her hair is not very human .
She is just like a “doll”…
“Traveler, before you wandered into the magic fog and got lost, where were you going?”
“…Hector . ”
“I think that is southwest from here . It is difficult to tell because of the fog, but if you head west you should be able to find the highway . ”
“Is that so . Good . ”
Answering casually, Danna-san winks at his wife .
Then, Theta-san suddenly stands up in the room that has fallen completely silent, and goes to another room on the other side of the kitchen . (TL: Okay, this is really creepy . She defs a zombie corpse . )
“Oya, Theta already seems to be full . She went back inside because she felt satisfied . Please eat much of the remaining potatoes as you want . ”
“Yes . Itadakimasu . ”
I continue diligently eating the potatoes while I watch Danna-san’s back recede further inside .
This white leaf is good, but my tongue is a little tingly .
Ma, since this is the first proper meal I have had in a while I will eat it .
I wolf down what is left in the pan .
Eating eating .
Should I go check on Yui now? Feeling satisfied I return Rollo to my shoulder and go back to the storage shed .
Once I returned Yui has also finished eating and is resting .
“…Looks like she ate . She should recover well . ”
Everything seems fine .
Good, good .
“…You’re here…”
I open my mouth while smiling wryly .
“Don’t worry about it . Right now you are my lover . Since you finished eating I’ll take the tray . ”
“T, thank you . ”
Rollo comes down from my shoulder and curls up next to Yui’s side like she is anxious about her . Her small face turns to Yui’s hand and she licks the back of one of her fingers .
Ah, Yui expressed her gratitude .
At least she seems to have become obedient .
Fufu, I chuckle to myself…now, I guess I’ll clean up .
I pick up the tray with the empty dishes and carry it to the nearby kitchen .
In the big kitchen there’s a cutting board on the counter next to a sack of flower, bottles of oil, vegetables, and a barrel in which potatoes are piled up .
Below there is water jug, an earthen oven built on the floor, and a heavy iron pot is already there .
Several different frying pans are leaned up again the nearby wall .
Should I put the dishes in the big jug…?
While I a hesitating about where to put the dishes in someone else’s house I hear a voice from the bac room . (TL: Don’t investigate . This is how bad things happen . )
“Master, the remaining mana is below 30% . ” (TL: Master is in English . ) Activation limit approaching . ”
“Understood . I will supply some now . ”
A moment passes…
“…How’s that?”
“40% of Mana restoration completed…55% of Mana…restoration completed . ” (TL: Fill me up, master . )
“Ku, I’ll stop here . This is the limit of my Mana…”
“I am sorry, Master . ”
They seem to be using some kind of magic .
“Because I can take that Mana recovery potion, I’m fine . But, I’m still inexperienced . Despite the Magic technology being similar to the Magic Wogan Doll, it is difficult for me to synchronize my mind with the ‘Spirit Absorption . '”
“No, master is a genius . You made me, and even led Sabido by the nose . ”
“I won’t fall behind the Magic Clan . I was ousted from the clan, but I am an owner of a demon emblem mark . I am the eldest son of the Gustave Family . I am also the successor of the skill handed down generation to generation in my family . The people with the secret enchanting type skill amongst magic craftsman are few . ”
“Yes . Master’s skill cannot be imitated by others . ”
“That’s right . It’s probably because of my younger sister in the clan . Although the Magic Wogan Doll is made, despite this there are probably a massive amount of people that possess the required magic ore casting skill
“Master’s family? I have not met them . ”
“Ah, it’s in the past . I have you now, so I don’t need anything else . ”
“Yes . Master . I am happy . ”
It seems like they’re flirting .
But what is this related to the magic clan?
“However, if I was the maker of the magic wogan doll I might be able to use it on you…”
“But, Wogans are scrap iron after all . Unlike me, the master must always be nearby, it will only function if it is supplied . ” (TL: The master here is 主人 or “shujin” which can mean head of household, proprietor, employer, or master, depending on the context . It feels more possessive . )
“That’s right, the strong point is Theta’s magic essence conversion ratio . If the core of a berbaky and oil of a chimera to ragazer powder and the scales of an ancient dragon…”
“Yes . Surely, if it is that then output will rise 85% . ”
“Ma, it will take time to collect those items . Right now there are two ‘souls’ that can be used . So let’s be patient . Theta’s magic essence tolerance should increase markedly if I incorporate those . I can’t wait . ”
“The soul sacrifice, that young man, is always looking at me . ”
“Yeah . I cannot allow those eyes . But, Theta is a beautiful woman . A young man like that will get all wound up . ”
What…
“Hai . ”
“But, the young man and woman are important sacrifices and will give power to your ‘Spirit Absorption . ’ It is important that they remain healthy so the two souls can be safely transfer to ‘here . ’ Because, first they are paralyzed . About this time…the medicine should be taking affect and they will be collapsing . ”
“Hai . Master . ”
Spirit Absorption? Paralysis? These are really dangerous words…
This time is a dangerous magician .
Right now we are suckers coming along just begging to be parted from their money? (TL: 鴨がねぎを背負って来る)
That explains why this person lives in such a remote place . We should run away quickly .
Ah, Yui…I hurry to the nearby room .
“What’s wrong? Why do you look like that?”
“Damn it . We already ate the meal; the man here seems to be a dangerous magician . I overheard them talking about “souls” and “sacrifice” and giving us paralyzing medicine . We need to escape fast, can you more?”
“Ah, my…ah, my arm is numb…”
The paralysis is already setting in .
“Rollo, go outside and be prepared to fight at any moment . ”
“Nya . ”
Rollo responds and then vigorously runs outside .
“Gu, so, sorry . Numbness…”
I should have been more careful .
“Mou, the medicine is already taking affect . ”
“…You, are you okay? I can move my mouth…but my arms are shaking, and there’s no strength in my legs…although this feels kind of funny…it must be a special narcotic…”
“I’m fine . I just move the food…I didn’t eat it . ”
“There’s no helping it now . ”
“Understood . Let’s leave here first . I’ll carry you . ”
I carry Yui .
“Kya!”
“What is it lover? I’ll help . Don’t worry . ”
Yui nods and falls quiet .
“Oya…are you going somewhere?”
Crap, we were caught . I must deceive him .
“Ah, Yui wants to go outside for a little while, feel the wind, look at the stars…”
“Is that so, ha, I guess our lies are mutually transparent . I can’t let you leave like this . Theta . Block the exit . ”
“Yes . Master . ”
She came too . Theta is blocking the warehouse’s exit .
“Rollo!”
At my signal, Rollo springs on Theta .
“-W, what?”
The bald old man cries out behind me, but I’ll ignore him for now .
I hold onto Yui and rush outside . I run to where the popobumu is .
I put Yui of the popobumu’s saddle a bit roughly .
“Run ahead like this . ”
Then I should slap the popobumu’s rear .
“Wait . ”
Yui calls out .
Is she worried? But I must hurry .
“It’s all right . Believe in me . I will not let them kill you . I’m also worried about the forest, but that couple comes first . Hurry up and escape on the popobumu . I will call you back right away once I kill the couple . ”
“Wait, you absolutely can’t die . If you do I will kill you-”
I ignore Yui and slap the popobumu’s rear .
With her on top of the saddle the popobumu takes off and disappears into the darkness .
It shouldn’t go too far .
…It will return when I call for it .
Now, I will return .
I return to the shed where Rollo is fighting .
When I run up the short hill to the front of the hut Rollo and Theta are in the middle of an intense fight .
The jacket around Theta’s shoulder is torn and black blood is pouring from her right shoulder . But, her quick movements show that she isn’t bothered by the injury .
Seeing the figure receiving, I am rooted to the spot .
Theta’s arm transformed to a point like a sword . When the word arm collides intensely with Rollo’s feeler swords they make a hard sound as they are repelled and the collide again . They have each other in check . The purple flower ornament in Theta’s hair is shaking as she moves around .
Rollo shows a glimpse of the divine beast .
Powerful, throbbing limbs . Four claws scratch the ground and a cloud of dust rises .
Sharpened claws swing at Theta’s feet . Theta receives a big cut above her knee, but doesn’t seem to feel any pain . She quickly counter attacks with her sword arms and tarts running after Rollo . Rollo calms down and dexterously avoids Theta’s attack .
Theta runs after Rollo who runs away .
The fight shifts from the entrance of the hut into a large garden .
I can see the fight from the little light leaking out of the shed, since it is night outside, when the fight shifts to a dark place, I can no longer see the fighting figures of Theta and Rollo, I can only hear the sound of a bone sword colliding with a sword .
I activate <Night Vision> and ensure my vision .
The fight between Rollo and Theta seems to be equal .
There,
“What on earth are you?”
The bald man approaches shouting with a torch in his hand .
“No, what, you mean…”
“You ate a lot of the food with the special medicine in it . Yet you can still more easily…Are you not human?”
“Whaaaat?” (TL: Whaaaat? Pft, watch chu talkin’ ’bout man . )
Ma, he is right .
“Besides, that black beast injured my wife, Theta . ”
What? This old skin head in a robe…
His expression gradually changes .
Did too much blood rise to his head? And then did I anger him?
“Theta, that? Your wife…isn’t she just a doll?” (TL: That wasn’t a smart thing to say, Shuya . )
When the skin head man hears my provocation his face distorts and a blood vessel on his face pops out . It attracts attention to the unchanging mark on his forehead…he leans his head forward, and bares his teeth with a growing light of insanity .
“Aaaaah? What did you say!? My wife Theta, isn’t a doll!!”
He speaks in a rough voice while spitting saliva .
“Is that so . Then that means, Theta isn’t human . ”
“Joke later-”
The bald skin head man mutters angrily and throws his torch into the nearby garden .
A small light source is created in the darkness .
The light of the torch casts the bald man in creepy shadows .
The right hand of the bald man is held out, and touches a fingertip to a ring on his left hand . At that moment, the ring reacts .
The helmeted black skull ring shines, flickering between black and red as two strings appear from its eye sockets . The threads extend into the ground, and the ground it touches suddenly begins to melt? Before long the ground begins to make a sound like boiling lava and the air begins to fill with a black and red smoke .
What appears from the smoking ground is two skeletons, one of red bones and the other of black bones .
He summoned these guys, skeleton knights .
The skeletons are only made of bones, but their formed ribs are large and their forms look like a soldier or knight . They have a long sword that shines with a black luster in one hand and a shield in the other .
The two skeleton knights seem conscious .
Though their bones creak, they move to protect the skin head who summoned them .
-I look with magic observing eye .
They seem to have come from the ring .
The ring contains mana . The thread coming from the ring seems to be mana .
They are connected to the skeletons . There also seem to be rings that hold mana on his other fingers, shining faintly .
The bald man is wearing a lot of magic tool rings .
As I am looking a strong voice comes from behind the bone knights .
“…Bone knights, protect me and attack when you see a chance! I don’t care if his soul isn’t captured!”
As the bald skin head man issues out his order with a burning heart he appears before one of the bone knights, letting his robe billow .
He turns a hand to me and points . N, he’s storing mana in his hand? From a ring shaped like a beast a fireball is suddenly created .
-Swiftly .
I quickly drop down and the fire ball flies over my head . The fire ball hits the ground where I was and explodes . The darkness suddenly becomes bright .
That moment- A blade of mana comes from a different ring? But it flies . I hurry and swing down the black spear at the mana blade . The mana blade is broken by the black spear, divided-the wind blade goes to the left and right . A trace of a sword cut marks to ground to the left and right and a cloud of dust is kicked up .
Yes . I was able to cut the mana blade .
“What!? To move so fast, to see the wind blade in this dark night…you, after all you aren’t an ordinary person . Perhaps the guild?”
So it really was a wind blade .
Because it shines with magic observing eye I can still see it at night .
Besides, what guild?
“…No, I’m just a traveler . ”
Unlike the question that appeared in my heart, I answer normally .
“Fu, maa-”
Ue, another fire ball .
Like that, I continue avoiding flying fireballs and wind blades .
He shoots the magic continuously so I have to be careful .
They are endless . I move and knock down wind blades .
Since it has come to this should I use <Cerebral Demon Speed>? The bald man saw that I stopped moving, and thinking it is a chance, the corners of his mouth lift in a smile .
He holds up a different ring .
Then with a *pika* and a blinding light and intense pain runs through my body like my heart is freezing .
Ita- There’s a rumbling sound in my ears and the smell of burnt meat flesh reaches my nose .
I am also surrounded by smoke . There is a black scar spread from my stomach to my chest .
It buuurns, that guy, he used lightning this time . Too fast, all the rings on his hand seems to be magic rings .
Not needing an aria is too inconvenient .
Indeed, I can smell my flesh burning…
Making a crackling sound, some of the leather clothing has been burned to cinders, and part of my body seared black is visible .
But, despite how it looks, the condition of the burn was healed in an instant .
Only the black tiger leather jacket I received from Shisho is intact .
“I did it, I did it, I did it . Pitch black . ”
The bald man is hopping from foot to foot turning about in a dance . (TL: Okay, now he just seems sad and pathetic . )
His face is pale, and because his lips are discolored abnormally red, with the corners of his mouth pulled back he looks just like a clown .
This man is a crazy bald clown .
Without delay- I yell out .
In response the robe wearing man’s expression collapses and he lets out an ugly “Uiiiii!”
I will kill him with one blow .
I eagerly thrust out my black spear .
-A metallic sound .
My stab is blocked by a shield . The shield the black bone knight is using .
“-Ooh, quickly, bone knight!”
The bald man cries out as his expression shifts .
As he recovers he puts on a weird smile while he spits out saliva .
I smile back .
Decent reflexes- I move to the next action while thinking such praise . First, I activate <Magic Thought Guidance Hand> .
I make a fist with “distorted mana hand” and hit the red bone knight .
With the red bone knight unable to hold up its sword after the sudden blow from the mana fist it retreats .
I activate <chain> on my left hand at the same time- the chain first goes for the black bone knight that prevented my stab with its excellent reflexes .
The black bone knight cannot keep up with the chain’s speed .
The chain drills through the black bone knight’s jaw faster than a bullet, shattering it .
Like that, I change the trajectory to smash through the head of the black bone knight and then destroy the neck and spine one after the other .
On the other hand, the red bone knight struck by the big mana fist from <Magic Thought Guidance Hand> has an indent in its chest, touching one knee it is downed .
Big mana fist . It is strong .
The red bone knight with the caved in chest somehow rises, and approaches while holding its shield .
I send the Kukri sword to such a red bone knight .
But, since the red bone knight was injured so much already, I turn it into training and hold the kukri sword with <Magic Thought Guidance Hand> .
I swing I move the kukri sword over to the red bone knight with a shaky sword attack .
The red bone knight holds up its shield and it turns into a defensive fight .
Now then . Without overlooking the gab in its defense I point the black spear at its lower body and fire of <Thrust>!
The twisting black blade penetrates through the thick foot bone, destroying it . -Next I destroy the thigh bone . Then I destroy the back bone followed by the sternum .
The red bone knight immediately collapses . Its knees give out and it falls to the ground .
Furthermore, the chain that destroyed the black bone knight goes around and around to the red bone knight and penetrates its head . (TL: This is what I wanted to see the chain do . I feel really satisfied . )
I crush the bones into pieces .
The kukri sword, together with the chain and spear smash all of the red bone knight’s bones with synchronized attacks .
Finally, the bones pieces are crush and strewn about .
After having beaten the bone knights in only several seconds the bald man raises a frightened voice, and with a dumfounded expression his teeth chatter .
That face, I am going to punch it .
I ran at such a bald man .
Leading with my left shoulder, I hold the black spear in my right hand and deliver a shoulder tackle with a shout .
“Hiia . ”
As expected, the bald man is a magician . Raising a ring with a scream he releases a fireball to counter attack .
While advancing I use <Thrust> to break through the middle of the fire ball with the black spear .
I dispel the fireball by destroying its core with thrusting .
To the bald man, from the fireball he just released, my left shoulder appears .
-It is over with this .
Once again, taking strong steps, I <thrust> at the chest of the bald man .
That moment, “-Master,” Theta leaps in from the side to the bald man .
The sound of meat tearing echoes out, and together through Theta’s back, I go through the heart of the bald man .
The two skewered people fall down like marionettes with their string cut .
“Ma, st, er…”
“Shi, shi, Theta…gufu . ”
He is trying to talk but blood over flows from his mouth .
“…So . Zoru . D, dear…it’s enough . ”
Then, the purple flower next to Theta’s ear falls next to Zoru’s face .
“This violet?”
“Gua, th, that’s right . A purple flower…eh, w, well, remember, Theta?”
The Zoru that is spitting up blood opens his eyes wide when he sees the face of his wife, Theta .
“Oh well…fufu, maybe this is the whim of god?”
“It’s you . It’s you…Theta . Her beauty is one that doesn’t fade away like a purple flower…” (TL: I really pity these two . )
“Zoru always says that, you gave me the violet…” (TL: They should also be really dead, not having their final words . )
Are you serious?
I sneak around and look at Theta’s face .
Then, the face of Theta which had looked like a doll face had turned into the face of a really beautiful woman .
Ooh, that’s amazing .
Theta has had her chest penetrate by the black spear, yet she is smiling without showing any signs of pain, looking over her husband Zoru affectionately .
From the wound in her chest, black blood flows out unceasingly .
The black blood pours down the black spear then over Zoru’s robe and mixes with his in the mud, at last the black blood even ran down the affectionate eyes .
Theta’s black tears mix together the tears on Zoru’s cheeks, the darkening tears flow over his cheeks, along the ground, and finally dyes the fallen violet black . (TL: Oh . )
“…Theta . I wanted…gu . ”
Blood pours out of Zoru’s mouth again .
“Zoru . ”
Theta shakes her head to Zoru’s words .
To bring her body closer to her husband’s, she pushes herself along the black spear stuck in her chest, so that they may hug while each other’s blood pools .
When Zoru is hugged by Theta, and evil spirit slips out, and his insane expression changes to a gentle one .
“Zoru . Remember how we always strolled along the riverside of the Haym?”
“Ah…I remember well . ”
“Fufu, me too . …my last moments are good . ”
Theta drops her neck, and closes her eyes weakly .
As blood flows from Zoru’s mouth, he blinks gently, and looks at me .
“Theta . -There is…more…traveling . ”
Patching together those words…he dies with his eyes still open .
He died…
Rollo also seems to have noticed and turns her red eyes questioningly .
After a short moment, while trudging along feeling empty, she rubs face head against by head, back and forth .
Ah, Yui…
Taking care of Rollo under my feet, I return to the place where I separated from Yui .
Whistling, I look for the popobumu .
I whistle over and over again and search .
Then the popobumu returns while snorting “bubobubo”
“Yui! Are you all right?”
“…I’m okay . My body is numb and I can’t move…but you’re all right . ”
“N? Were you worried about me?”
“Baka…if you’re like that, should I kill you?”
Again, she says something like that .
She needs punishment, I sentence her to a bottom massage . (TL: No, stahp, my feelings aren’t ready . )
“Kya, he, hentai!”
“Hahaha, when you say something like that, aren’t you supposed to say I can never be a bride?”
Her face turns beet-red .
“Yui, your body shivers when I hold you . ”
“Aan . Baka . ”
It might be a result of the battle ending, but I repeatedly rub and massage Yui’s buttock . Pulling myself together, I ask about how she is feeling .
“Which remind me, Yui’s important swords . I left them here . I made sure to recover them . ”
“Un…”
“Well then, take a rest, I’ll take care of the bodies in the garden . ”
“Understood . ”
I take all of the valuable rings from the corpse’s fingers .
There was no ring with the water attribute, but there was a ring with the darkness attribute .
I will test this ring later .
I dig a hole in the ground, and make a simple grave for Zoru and Theta .
I put a ring on the gravestone, and place the violet dyed black with blood as an offering .
Even though I killed you…
Seeing these two at the end affect my heart some .
I go to my knees, and pray Japanese style .
