Chapter 135.2 \n<h1>Chapter 135 Smiling Vacation ③ </h1>\n\n“O-Onee-sama!?” (Tino)
“…… Really, do you really think so? Cry-san. If you lie to me, I will know it right away, okay?” (Sytry)
A soft feeling of something pushed against my chest. It was as if I could feel the beating of Sytry’s heart through her soft fabric. If I were as perceptive as a Treasure Hunter, I would have been able to feel it clearly, but right now I can’t tell if the heartbeat I felt was my own or that of my childhood friend’s in front of me.The sweet scent of her hair made me feel a little hot and dizzy. Her transparent pink eyes stared up at me as if she was about to suck me in.
I am used to Liz’s skinship, but I am not used to Sytry’s skinship, so it couldn’t be helped if I am shaken.If it was a joke, then it was a bad one. It is quite possible that I will be seduced by her scent and reach out to her.
My hands swam in the air, unsure of where to put them. It wasn’t like I could push her away.
Tino, who came to her senses, made a quivering noise, caught Sytry’s arm from behind and tried to pull her away. As expected of someone who is accustomed to interpersonal fighting, she moves without hesitation.
“Sytry Onee-sama!? Y-You can’t do that! I will tell Onee-sama!? Master too! Even though you told me that it looks good on me!” (Tino)
“U-un, un, you are right ――” (Cry)
I am really sorry. I will buy you a cake next time, so forgive me……
Sytry let out a somewhat charming sigh and nodded in satisfaction.
“Un, it was properly *dokidoki* throbbing, so I will forgive you for ogling at Ti-chan.” (Sytry)
“No, no, of course, it will *dokidoki* throb…… Rather, I wasn’t ogling at her……” (Cry)\n
Any man would have. The only one who wouldn’t would be…… Someone like Luke. But I think he is an exception because he has really devoted his soul to the sword and has no physical desires.
I take a deep breath to calm my agitation, while Sytry with a natural movement easily wraps her arms around my right arm.
“Shall we go to the Onsen? We don’t know when the battle will start once again ―― And it will be noisy when Onee-chan comes back after she went to look for Onsen Dragons.” (Sytry)
With a sullen look, Tino puffed out her cheeks and jumped on my left arm with all her might.
“Master.. Don’t be… So… *deredere* lovestruck… At Sytry Onee-sama’s joke ―― Pull yourself together like you always have!” (Tino)
…… Have I ever pulled myself as she said?
Tino and Sytry are both beautiful women that you can be proud of just by walking around with them. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that my current situation was that I have a flower in both hands, but I wonder why… It feels terribly uncomfortable.I am sure Ark is always in the same position as I am right now, but how can he always keep a smile on his face. Maybe that’s also because of the difference in our magnitude. After all, I shouldn’t have come here until I found Luke and the others.
I was squeezed by an overjoyed Sytry and a grumpy Tino and headed for the Onsen as if I was like a criminal being taken away by guards.

“Oï, are you seriously ―― Gonna do it?” (White)
The once aggressive and feared Red Hunter broke out in a cold sweat and asked in a trembling voice.Black thought that he probably had the same expression on his face.\nThe location was a room in a high-class Ryokan that no ordinary Hunter could afford. It was a place far too unsuitable for rough men to have a heart-to-heart conversation.After Black took a deep breath, he said to his companion ―― White.
“It is already too late for Gray. His heart is already broken. But, you saw him right!? At this rate, we are going to lose our lives. We have no choice, but to do it!” (Black)
“B-but… 《Infinite Variety》 already said that he was going to release us.” (White)
“D-don’t be stupid! Like we can believe him! He said he will release us, but where do you think he will release us!? At a place where even the most daredevil of all Hunters would avoid, the 【Castle of a Myriad Demons】! That bastard!”
The castle we saw from a distance in the 【Castle of a Myriad Demons】 was a hellish place that was far beyond what we heard.Just by looking at it, I thought my heart would stop. If at that time, he had ordered us to rush in, I would have been ready to commit suicide and would have jumped out of the carriage to run away.
Black, White, and Gray possess some abilities as Hunters, but that Treasure Shrine was definitely not something their level could handle.The journey we were forced to take part in after being captured by 《Absolute Shadow》 was a painful one. We were forced to keep watch and handle the carriage all the time and even when we got to a city, we weren’t allowed to rest properly as we had to manage the carriage all time, we were also forced to fight a bunch of times in the forest. We were also chased by a Level 7 Hunter. I had thought many times that I would rather die than go through all this, but the level of that Treasure Shrine was too different.
《Infinite Variety》 is crazy.Even though they were traveling together, they had no idea what he was capable of or what techniques he had, but that was the one point, Black, White, and Gray agreed on.
This trip is certainly a vacation. But… However, it is a vacation for a Level 8. It is not something we can go along with.There was even a possibility of getting caught up in something more crazy than the 【Castle of a Myriad Demons】. No, from what Black had seen ―― This possibility is quite high.
At the very beginning, before the journey even began, Gray, the wildest one, had already his fangs pulled out. \nBut at the same time, that man was human. He wasn’t a flawless and perfect god. Then there are multiple ways to do it.
Fortunately, this is an Onsen. There are changing rooms. White says while holding his breath.
“I saw the lock on the lockers. It is a little bit complicated, but if I have one minute, I can open it. As expected of a Ryokan for the rich, they don’t think there will be people stealing clothes.”
“………… Yosh, let’s do this.”
Black and White are ruffians. However, no matter how much of a ruffian they are, they aren’t cowardly enough to just sit back and wait to be crushed.
Black and White quietly stood up with a twisted smile to conceal their fear.
