Chapter 15: The Person Who I Want To Protect
「Nina, can you stand?」
「A, ahaha… I want to wait just a bit…」
I held out my hand to Nina whose legs I made tremble like a newborn fawn.
She has the physical strength, it’s just that her body doesn’t listen.
I was glad I had clothes to change into. I wonder if this was accidental or intentional.
It’s useless to try and think about a lot of things regarding having sex outdoors.
I wonder if Nina was thinking that as well, and she shyly grasped my hand.
When I show my intention by tickling her entwined finger, Nina did it back looking delighted.
「Nina, it looked fun…」
I’ve never seen Nina look so happy.
But that was a smile like a mask clung to her.
That is the Nina that I love.
“But…”
However, that face is different.
That feeling was undoubtedly happiness from the bottom of her heart, it was a lovely smile.
I can’t stomach anything about that man, but if Nina is that happy, this is probably fine.
I should stop things like this. Without thinking I ended up tailing them.
If this is Nina’s happiness than I will have to swallow my misgivings.
I heard a terribly harsh voice coming from where Nina’s group is.
「Oi oi, why are you guys in a place like this?」
Some adventurers I haven’t seen before call out to us in a raspy voice.
When I look at the disagreeable look on their faces, it’s easy to imagine that they have unpleasant motives.
There is the form of people passing by grinning in derision as if to say 'serves you right” as the adventurers picked a quarrel with us.
「A, au」
Nina tightly grasps my clothes and hides behind me.
Even I am a little frightened. The hoodlums from my old world didn’t look this strong.
「You’re as ugly as always! Oi! Think about the trouble you are causing the people in this town!」
The men were looking at Nina in such a way and it made me gather strength more and more.
I understand that their violent words are injuring her heart with a grinding sound.
She bites her lips like she is bearing various emotions, while looking like she’s about to cry at any moment.
「Say something, oi! Hora! Apologize! Say you’re sorry for being ugly! Apologize for being a nuisance to everyone in town! Apologize for being born!」
*Gera gera*, they laugh vulgarly as their insults to the non-resisting Nina escalated.
The surroundings began to agree with them. They were secretly making fun of Nina.
『Think about the look of this town…』
『Your ugliness is seriously unsightly. What an unshapely appearance.』
『She probably paid that guy.』
The passersby that heard the racket form a circle and surround us as they continue to say whatever they want.
Nina opens her mouth while tears completely fill her eyes.
「I-I’m sorry」
It’s no good. Even my heart is disturbed by this, hatred fills my heart from these insults.
I have reached my limit, I will explode at any moment.
「Nina is prettier than anyone else.」
「AAn!?」 they pour out a displeased voice.
The adventurer’s overpowering attitude oppressed my miserable actions but I couldn’t stand it anymore.
I stamp my heel suddenly and anger creeps out from my throat when I open my mouth.
「You all say Nina is ugly but do you not think about yourselves? You wouldn’t be able to stand looking at your own hearts. It gives off the stench of something dead. Is it so great to hurt others?」
The punk whose face gets red from my words grabs me.
As for me, Nina’s beauty that is like glass work, it is my mission to protect this fragile girl.
「Don’t fuck with me! You think just because your face is a little good you can talk to me in that way!?」
「You were the ones making fun of Nina earlier, and yet you’re angry at me for making fun of you? You also don’t understand morals. Your head and your heart are both weak, huh.」
*Buchi*, I thought I heard a sound.
「—-!? w-wait!」
Nina was too late to stop them, the man’s fist hit my face.
I, who had collapsed on the ground, ended up groaning in misery with a sharp pain.
My nose didn’t stop bleeding, the taste of iron spread through my mouth.
「Hah, so weak! You were so pretentious even though you ended up being so weak?」1
「Guu…!」
They put their foot on my head and, *guri guri*, push their weight down.
Watching the surroundings quickly start to cheer is so frustrating I’d rather die.
『That’s good! Do it more!』
『Do it!』
“Haha”, I spill a smile unintentionally.
Is being ugly, enough for you to commit a crime?
Did Nina do anything to you guys?
She didn’t, I know that the best.
Do you guys, who take advantage of the weak and think that hurting someone is fine, even understand Nina’s nobility!?
「Ni-Nina, I-I am sorry…」
「You’re still talking? Chi, fine already, I’ll do it.」
The man drew a sword. It was a double-edged long sword that had a nick in it.
When such a thing is done to here—–aa.
That’s right, we don’t have any allies, huh. I forgot.
This case will surely rely highly on eyewitness testimony.
Deep down, I was frustrated, but I have no choice but to raise my nails from the ground and raise a voice of resentment.
I watched this scene somehow in slow motion.
Nina, I’m sorry… Please forgive this weak person I am.
「Ora! Time to die-gyaaa!!!?」
The man was blown off as he shrieked like a pig.
*Gashaaaaan!* sounded as the man was thrown into the market.
“Eh———-?” Who did that?
Perhaps it was one of the passersby, perhaps it was one of the adventurers, or maybe- it was me?
「Ni-Ni-na…?」
I didn’t understand whether it was her for an instant.
Nina floated an expression of extreme rage, the likes of which I have never seen before.
「Doing stuff to me is fine, I know it’s true that I am ugly so… I didn’t make trouble while bowing my head in apology. When you told me to apologize, I did.」
“But——-” Nina continues to say as her voice shakes in hatred.
「I will not forgive anyone who hurts Yuuto!」
In that instance, a magic circle appears around her with her in the center.
It is being completed while a fierce energy casts a light from it.
Something dense wraps around Nina.
Is that, a snake, or ivy? What is it? A strong prickling power is transmitted into my body.
「W-wait! We were wrong! Sor——」
She wouldn’t listen to the frightened words of the men.
Then, Nina slowly and calmly recites a spell.
「『Wind break』」
It was a transparent wind bullet.
It was a giant mass of air like a missile that went towards the adventurers.
That had more than enough power to kill a human being.
「Hi, Hiiiiiii!?」
*BaaaaaaaaAN!!!!!!*
A thunderous roar echoes.
The worst case crossed my mind, but a different scene spreads before my eyes.
「Aira…」
Aira was holding a huge shield and defended against Nina’s attack.
She suddenly raises her shield and floats a carefree grin.
「-, A-as powerful as always, huh, Nina.」
「Why did you stop it?」
Nina looked at Aira, who entered to stop the attack, with somewhat cold eyes while throwing out that question.
Nina could understand her intention.
「If you do such a thing as killing someone, wouldn’t you fall into the worst kind of slavery?」
「I don’t care.」
Nina declares. Her intent was as straight and pointed as a sword.
“Is that so…” Aira mutters. And then sighs in astonishment.
「You don’t, care?… You are that resolved?」
「Yeah, that’s why, Aira, move away from there.」
「You are prepared to make Yuuto sad?」
Then Nina stops moving for once.
Nina who moved in anger faltered.
「If he can’t meet you, what will Yuuto think?」
「Th-that’s…」
「Nina, you have already done enough, look, isn’t Yuuto also worrying about you?」
Finally, Nina’s eyes met mine.
And then, I slowly grasp her hands, and make an eye signal saying 「I’m alright.」.
「Ha, Haha! Don’t fuck with me! Did you think you could just get away without any consequences!? Since we have all the testimonies on our side, even if we lie, all your comrades will die! You fuckers will get along well with the people in prison!」
Just as the hoodlum’s said that, the surroundings raised their voice saying “That’s right, that’s right”.
There is barely even anyone injured on their side, but it is true that we launched magic.
My face became green at that. Isn’t there anything to be done.
However, Aira didn’t get worked up and grabs the hoodlum’s wrists.
「N? Got something to say?」
「Ah?」
*Zudon!!!!* *Gaoooon!!*
The ground shook as if it echoed from its core.
The hoodlum that hit the ground had his arm bent in an unnatural direction and blood spurt out.
「A…a…」
The man foamed at the mouth in pain while he grew incontinent.
Aira’s voice resounds in the alley that became dead silent with a *shin~*.
「Does anyone else want to take sides? Bring it on! I won’t show mercy to any of my foes.」
Aira declared so with those sharp red eyes full of killing intent.
「If any of you fuckers2 try to hurt Nina I won’t forgive you. I have memorized all your faces. If you say anything like this man, then next time— I’ll kill ya.」
Contrary to that dangerous line, Aira donned a dignified appearance.
