I was browsing manga and magazines at a nearby convenience store and was about to go out to buy an energy drink to prepare for the night battle in Splashtown.
I opened the front door and looked in the mailbox. There was nothing in particular in the mail, so I opened the gate to go out to the street, and there was that mendacious woman again…
But the way she looked at me was different than before.
The deranged woman who showed me the blade of the cutter knife. I thought she was coming on to me naked, but then she threatened me the very next day…
The girl was, panting, continuously, out of breath, she looks at me.
She does all kinds of things I don’t like. It’s just weird to be pressured like that. Why doesn’t this girl understand that? And she thinks of me as if I’m her boyfriend or her lover.
It’s so annoying how she flip out and get all jaded over my better looks!
The woman grabs a knife and raises it high in the air.
「I told you to stop! I said stop——!!」
I forget about the neighbors and yell at the top of my lungs.
「Kaname-chan… I want us to get back together. I want to get back Kaname-chan’s love. That’s why…」
Fresh blood splattered vigorously on the asphalt and on her clothes.
「Yay!! Kuhihihi…」
「I can’t believe you’re going to do… something this stupid…」
I look at her cut arm and I sigh. Blood was oozing from a single wound and trickling down to the ground.
「What the hell do you want? To slit your own wrists and show me that!?」
「Ahaha, I’m glad… Kaname-chan is watching me. You’re panicking and worried about me. What a surprise, it was just this simple.」
The sleeves of the pretty ruffled white blouse worn by this mentally deranged woman were stained red with her blood. She’d already gone as far as she was going to go, and I felt like I’d seen this mentally-ill woman’s true self.
「It hurts… It’s the same red blood as Kaname-chan’s… Look more closely. Blood is red and beautiful, don’t you think?」
I thought I had gotten myself into a messy situation, and as I watched the red blood flowing from her wrist, it began to change me.
Kuh…
【Phantom Pain】
Again, huh… Bloodshed was an everyday occurrence in the other world. I thought I was used to it, but this is the first time I’ve seen it since I came back this way due to my folly. It seems it has evoked pain in her extremities.
The woman looks down at me kneeling in pain in her extremities, showing me the newly formed wounds and blood on her wrists, and smiles with a satisfied smile of amusement.
「Kaori!!? What the hell are you doing? I told you to stay away from Kaname-kun, and here you are! You’re going back!」
「Nooooooo!!! I won’t go back! I won’t go back! I’m going to have Kaname take a look at it!!」
While I was cowering, a neighbor uncle came over, saw the cutter in my right hand and the pulse area in my left, quickly assessed the situation, and tried to take the deranged woman home.
「I apologize, Kaname-kun. I’ll take her home right away…」
「Ah, okay…」
She resisted, but was dragged away. By the time my seizure-like【Phantom Pain】subsided, blood was splattered around me like rose petals, as if a stabbing had occurred.
————Monday.
Kagetsu-san… she didn’t come.
Recently, I felt sad that my friend-position girl, who I always went to school with, was not at my doorstep.
No, it’s not her, and I don’t expect it to be. I’m still sorry I went the extra mile over the weekend.
When I arrived at the school, I found Kagetsu-san and tried to apologize for last week. But she opened her mouth first.
「It was unexpected… to such cowardice…」
「Ah, yeah… I’m sorry…」
Her cheeks were blushing and she was embarrassed, not unlike the salty, expressionless Kagetsu-san. She have a canned attack, but perhaps she have zero defense.
On the other hand, the mentally-ill woman was not here.
Perhaps it was because of this that the girls were pointing at that deranged woman’s desk and whispering about something. It seems to me that they are behaving in a flamboyant way that there is no shortage of topics to talk about.
Anything to keep me out of it, honestly.
Me and Kagetsu-san, the most beautiful girl in school, who has not a shred of flamboyance in her life, are talking.
「What’s that? Are you doing a romcom play!?」
Hanayama finds me after morning practice and smirks at me. I had already lost my dislike for Hanayama, but this smirk made me honestly want to punch him.
「Shut up. Miyabi, go suckle with Natsuho.」
「Yesh…」
It was Kagetsu-san who pinched and stretched both cheeks of Hanayama.
Before the morning homeroom began, people naturally began to gather and he began to tell the rest of my otherworldly tale to everyone in anticipation.
＊　＊　＊
We moved to the knight’s training ground, but the young and beautiful lady knight who had come to stay the night with Shirakaba-san wrinkled her brow and exclaimed.
「Hero, Noriharu… If I beat you, make a baby with me! I offered you my purity as a maiden, and yet you say you don’t want it… The humiliation of the Zacharias family, the pride of our military family… Think of it!」
Ehh!?
Me and Marielle both look at each other. After a while, we both realize what the lady knight is saying and we both get so embarrassed that we’re up to our ears in red.
I mean, if the lady knight wins, he’s supposed to impregnate her…
「Don’t tell me… Was that the case with Marielle?」
「I would like to talk to Kaname-sama… B–But, If that’s what Kaname-sama wanted then…」
「Marielle! It’s already started!!」
Marielle seemed to be saying something, but I couldn’t hear it, drowned out by the cheers. The duel between the two was more important.
「Princess Mariel, I’ll let you see to it, if you don’t mind.」
「Yes, I understand…」
A female knight who somewhat forcefully asks for Marielle’s permission. She may be a Yurielle’s pawn, but her superior attitude toward Marielle, the princess, was transparent.
After Shirakaba-san finishes picking and taking the weapons that the knights brought, the female knight receives a black feathered helm from a guy who looks like a subordinate. She put on the helm and positioned herself.
「Aina Zacharias, here I come!」
He came forward with dignity.
Weapons up and facing each other, I can’t take my eyes off the female knight.
Is this youth…
The helmet is a complete protection, while the bikini armor exposes the skin… It is an imbalance of hiding the head and not the buttocks.
「Hey, Marielle. I have to wonder, though, does that mean you want the loser’s seed?」
「I see then… it sure is weird!」
「「Is this perhaps!?」」
Marielle and I look into each other’s eyes. Ohh, she’s really an angel, or a goddess, beautiful and cute… That’s not it.
It was simply that she lacked calm judgment out of pride. But that bikini armor is more than enough to make a man wince, and it is a seductive piece of equipment.
If only Mariel would change into her bikini armor… I had evil thoughts about her, the saint and beautiful princess next to me.
Gakk——— kin!!!
I was startled by the violent sound of metal colliding with metal that suddenly echoed through the air. I won’t even think about such a bad thing anymore!
Aina’s Zweihander was slashing at Shirakaba-san’s iron spear.
「Uuoooooggghhh!!!」
The gap between the pampered face she showed to Shirakaba-san at night is amazing… but Shirakaba-san lightly brushes off such slashes.
「Dammit, you can’t just easily handle the Zacharias Family Black Sword Style! I’m falling more and more in love with you!」
This man can not only shoot, he can also fight!? Somehow it is no wonder that Yurielle followed Shirakaba-san’s words so honestly.
Wait, Miss Knight… you’ve already leaked your true feelings.
「T–Then how about this!
Back Tooth, Steel, Titan, Techniques!」
「Your movements are so different from before! Your footwork, the speed of your slashes, the weight and dexterity of your blows, you outstrip me in every way!」
「How’s that! You already want to make babies with me! You would have wanted to fuck this Aina! Hero Noriharuu——!!」
With all her might, she swung her Zweihander in all directions as if to strike her fiery passion, and attacked Shirakaba-san. Although he managed to prevent it, his military boots were dug into the ground.
「Marielle, it’s not good. Shirakaba-san is being pushed in. Can’t you do something about it?」
「Don’t worry, Shirakaba-sama is a hero just like Kaname-sama. Aina-san is indeed strong, but there is no way the hero with his unique skills can lose!」
Is that how it is? Despite my concern, Marielle was calm and collected. As if to prove it, Shirakaba-san murmured.
「I haven’t done this yet, but I think this guy might help.」
【Gillion】
A dazzling ray of red light seemed to emanate from Shirakaba-san, hit Aina, and fizzled out.
「I’m fine! Is that the extent of your bravery? I guess I was wrong. I’m disappointed…」
Aina runs and slashes at Shirakaba-san as if to finish him off.
But…
Dotto——!!
I fell down in such a contrived manner that even elementary school students nowadays would not do such a spectacular fall.
「This is stupid! W–What I did to you, falling down here like this…」
She managed to get up, but Shirakaba-san would not miss the opportunity and attacked Aina with a short spear. The female knight who just barely avoided Shirakaba-san’s stab. But something is wrong…
Play
Unmute
A thump is heard, and the top of the woman knight’s black-tinted bikini armor comes off, exposing her breasts…
「Don’t look at her——!」
Marielle blindfolded me from directly behind so I could not see it. However, However, Marielle’s plump breasts repeatedly collide softly with the back of my head.
Sorry, ××! And I was ashamed of myself for being delighted by the touch of Marielle’s skin.
「Re–Re–Remember, next time I’m sure I’ll win and win Noriharu’s favor!」
The lady knight hurriedly pulled her into the troop house, holding her breast with one hand as if she were the birth of Venus.
Aina was… surprisingly pure-hearted…
「Ah, uhh. Have I done something wrong?」
There he is, the brave and unaware…
Shirakaba-san asked me and Marielle, and we both shook our heads in agreement. What the hell, she was just sulking and challenging him to a duel because she didn’t get a chance to play with him.
I thought she was a very boisterous lady knight.
Not like that, she didn’t have to take my time. I had been wishing for it since the duel was over.
「Shirakaba-san, I mean, Master Shirakaba, no, Instructor Shirakaba, I need your guidance!」
「All right, join me and give your heart!」
Maybe he’s the kind of person who knows how to do that? He had a good grasp of his unique skills.
I was trained by the gentle but strict Shirakaba-san…
I was throwing up.
————At Shirakaba Boot Camp.
「Kirishima-kun, your power is not like that. You can still go. You can still run. Let’s run a little longer before we fall over!」
Although Shirakaba-san was kind and encouraging in tone, his training was so devil-may-care that he was about to leave the battle even before the fight.
「I can’t… I’m throwing up…」
It was as if the protagonist and the choroine in the Narō novels had just met and instantly gone to bed together.
Orororororo……
I returned to nature all the ruminant grains I had eaten in the morning that had turned rainbow-colored.
「Kaname-sama… Are you alright?」
「Ah–ahh… Not okay as you can see…」
「Kirishima-kun, rest and you will get better! I believe in you!」
「Oh, okay…」
Marielle rubs my back and Shirakaba-san hands me a wrung out cloth.
I wonder… If I was abused, I would want to throw up my hands and say, “I don’t know if I can do this,” but it’s very hard to say, “I’ll stop training when you ask me to do it.”
But those days were numbered by the end of the week…
「Kaname-sama, hasn’t your body tightened up tremendously recently?」
「Really? I’m not really sure…」
I got used to it, and apparently changes were coming to my body.
