ARIFURETA SHOKUGYOU DE SEKAI SAIKYOU (WN)
C109
At the adventurers guild Hajime had learned of a separate kind of world threat, however, he tried to ignore it as much as possible as he went to repair the great barrier.
The place where Shizuku guided them to was being guarded by a considerable amount of soldiers, the guards turned a dangerous look towards Hajime as he approached. However, they're eyes softened up immediately when they noticed that Shizuku was by his side.
Thanks to Shizuku's face pass, they were easily allowed in and found a space which was made out of white marble-like stone, at the center was a magic formation with a cylindrical artifact enshrined on top of it. The artifact would normally be around 2 meters in length but, right now it was broken from the middle and it's remains were scattered around.
Around it's surrounding was a few men worrying till wits end as they groaned, [un,un]. They were most likely the craftsmen who were trying to repair the great barrier.
[Oya? If it isn't Shizuku-dono. ...What brings you here?]
A man who was around his 60s with a fully grown mustache and carried an obvious craftsman aura called out to Shizuku as soon as he noticed. It appears to have been one of Shizuku's acquaintances.
[Hello, Worupen-san. I'm just a guide. I've brought along a Synergist who may be able to repair the great barrier]
[What was that? Is it by chance that boy there?]
The man who Shizuku called Worupen turned his glance over to Hajime and was clearly suspicious but did not voice it to Shizuku.
Truthfully, Worupen was under the Hairhi Kingdom's direct control as the head synergist. The great barrier artifact was naturally an Age of Gods artifact, in the present age, attempting to repair it was extremely difficult even for the head synergist of the royal palace. So even if he was suddenly told that a boy who wasn't even 20 yet was able to fix it, it would be natural that he wouldn't be able to believe it so easily.
However, Hajime wasn't concerned with those kinds of glances and passed between Worupen and the other craftsmen towards the artifact and place his hand onto the ruins. What he activated was "Mineral Appraisal".
[He~e, I see…..it should be strong if it's like this]
[Fu~n, you're just a kid so what could you possibly know about it]
As Hajime nodded as he understood how the great barrier was able to protect the Kingdom for hundreds of years from foreign enemies, Worupen grunted out from his nose in a bad mood.
However, Hajime was indifferent towards Worupen's attitude and proceeded to begin "Transmuting". Red sparks began to spread out around Hajime and one after another he began to fuse the wreckage with one hand back into their original places.
Towards that transmuting speed and accuracy, not only Worupen but also his subordinates weren't able to peel their eyes away. Shizuku who was also seeing Hajime's all-out "Transmuting" for the first time, seemed to also have been fascinated by the red sparks which was dancing around in the white space as she mutters, [How beautiful…..].
Hajime who finished repairing the Age of Gods artifact in only a matter of several tens of seconds suddenly began pouring in magical power into it to activate the great barrier.
The cylindrical artifact shot out light from its top which climbed up towards the sky. Immediately afterwards, a soldier who was guarding outside rushed into the room and reported that the 3rd barrier had revived.
[....How could this be...an artifact from the Age of Gods was so easily...]
Shizuku told the stunned Worupen with a wry smile that Hajime came from the same world as she did. [No wonder….] Worupen and them said with a convinced face.
Incidentally, when she told them that the black katana which fired them all up before was made by Hajime, they're eyes suddenly sparkled and shined like beasts. Hajime disregarded them and continued to quickly walk towards the next artifacts location.
However, Worupen and them with their massive craftsmen spirits, knew that they couldn't just easily let go of a synergists who was above them.
[Please wait a moment—–!! An apprentice! By all means, please take us in as your apprentices—-!!]
[Uo! Wha, what's with you guys suddenly. Or rather, don't cling onto my feet! You're creeping me out!]
Worupen was appealing to become Hajime's apprentice as he clung onto his feet. In addition, Worupen's subordinates begin to one by one cling onto Hajime in order to not let him escape. While genuinely being disgusted from the bottom of his heart that he was in such close contact with such hairy men, Hajime tried to shake them off of his leg but they had firmly gripped on so it was hard to get them off.
Since there was no helping it, he activated "Thunder Clad" which caused everyone to go, [Ababababa], and he broke free. Even still, the craftsmen crawled and reached out with their hands, as expected even Hajime couldn't ignore them and said out a clear reason to decline them.
[Look here, I'll be immediately leaving this place and I have no plans to return to the Kingdom either. Having apprentices is also very troublesome as well, first of all, even if you became my apprentices I wouldn't have anything to teach you guys]
[But, you easily repaired the artifact and even made Shizuku-dono's black katana as well. We have absolutely no idea how to create something like that at all. If you're willing to teach us then...]
[No, it wasn't just "Transmuting Magic" it was also "Creation Magic", a magic which you guys aren't capable of is required]
[That can't be…..]
Worupen and them exhaustively dropped their shoulders towards Hajime's words. Truthfully, the great barrier artifact was also created with Space magic through Creation magic, the barrier of the Kingdom was a special type which intercepted space.
A normal synergist wouldn't be able to repair it. Of course, since space magic was ingrained into the ores, if you steadily repaired it, it's likely that you'd be able to repair it to some degree but not until perfection.
Disregarding Worupen and them who hung their heads, when Hajime tried to once again go towards the location of the other artifact, Worupen and their eyes sharpened up again.
[Still, it doesn't change the fact that you have excellent transmuting skills! By all means, take us in as apprentices~!!]
[How persistent!]
Such fearsome craftsmen spirit. It wouldn't be good if he didn't compromise. In the end, while Hajime was repairing all of the artifacts, Worupen and them who were supposed to be the Kingdom's synergists were sticking onto him and crying like babies.
Furthermore was it because they heard of the rumors? Those who gathered weren't just the synergists at the scene, eventually Hajime was being crowded as they tried to learn his techniques. Hajime who was close to wits end was beginning to fling the craftsmen far away into the distance but, they got up like zombies as they tried to learn of the secrets to his "Transmuting" and crowded around him once again.
As expected of the craftsmen's and their desires to reconstruct the Kingdom, Hajime was planning to escape but…..it appears that they were communicating through the craftsmens network in the Kingdom, wherever he went they appeared! and asked limitless questions. It appears that until they learn of everything, they have no plans to stop clinging or leaving, as expected even Hajime was shrinking back from it.
While being bombarded with questions, Hajime finally planned to seriously escape and created the game of tag that all craftsmen in the Kingdom participated in.
[Damn, what's happening here. Even though I'm using "Hide Presence"]
[Hahaha~, those kinds of things are useless against our "Craftsmen intuition"]
[We can clearly feel you! Nagumo-dono's passionate pathosssssss!!]*<- basically his feelings*
[Ha~a, Ha~a, the presence of techniques! We can hear the gasping voice of the amazing techniquessssss!!]
The craftsmen? were equipped with a different kind of institution which surpassed Hajime's. While having a cramped cheek of not wanting to be touched, he seriously thought over if he should pull out Donner and schlag or not.
In the end, the escaping and pursuing drama caused great confusion because the craftsmen's had disappeared from their reconstruction sites, when it finally reached Ririana's ears, the royal family intervened and restored control in the situation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Yaegashi...couldn't you have helped me out? You were acquainted with them right?]
Hajime had returned to the royal palace as if tired out from something, once he returned he treated himself to tea while staring and complaining at Shizuku.
Yue was also next to Shizuku, when Hajime came back, she quickly prepared the tea. It was exactly something a lover would do. Having to look at the army of craftsmen who were approaching with bloodshot eyes and panting out, [Ha~a, Ha~a], they returned back to the royal palace first while averting their eyes from Hajime's, she was a wonderful lover.
[Don't say such ridiculous things. ....The case with the black katana was already an uproar but, that's exactly why I knew that it was impossible to stop them who had flames within them...]
[Hajime, thanks for the good work]
Shizuku made an excuse while looking away and Yue drank tea while patting Hajime on the head. When Hajime hugged Yue tightly, as is, he carried her like a princess and sat down on the opposite seat of Shizuku.
[…..What is it I wonder, these smoldering irritated feelings. Even though Yue took the same actions as me…..]
[Ha? There's no reason Yue and Yaegashi are on the same level is there? If you're the other party then I'll get angry, if it's Yue then its no problem]
[Un, Yue is your lover after all, I get what you're saying but…..right now I want to hit you so badly]
Towards the obvious difference in treatment, even though she understood that she'd naturally get done in, a blue vein appeared as she became angry. It was the same concept of becoming angry at lovers who were flirting in front of her even if she knew they were lovers.
Yue who was on his knee, began to say, [A~n], to Hajime with the snacks that came along with the tea, [I'm in your way huh? I'm a bothersome insect huh?], with twitching cheeks Shizuku was thinking about escaping to where Kaori was but, suddenly, the door to their room was flung opened with a ~Ban!~ sound without being knocked on.
What is it? what was reflected in Hajime and their sights was a 10 year-old blond haired blue eyed pretty boy and he glared at Hajime while ~Ki'ing!~. Moreover, did he not like that Yue was sitting on Hajime's lap? After seeing Yue for a moment his eyes became further enraged which seemed to contain 2 times the anger from before.
[Was it you! The scum who adjusted Kaori! M, moreover, even though there's Kaori, those, those kinds of things….I won't forgive it, I'll definitely never forgive you!]
The person appearing and saying such things was the prince of this country, Randell S.B. Hairhi. Randell clenched his fist and ran towards Hajime while letting out a courageous shout, [U~oooooo!]. His mind was filled with giving Hajime a beating.
Although Hajime didn't understand what was going on, for the time being he decided to pick up a sugar cube that was prepared for tea on the table and flicked it in opposition. The sugar cube which flew out at impossible speeds, accurately hit Randell in the forehead, [Higu~u!], he let out a strange scream as his head was flung back onto the floor.
The pain of his forehead and the back of his head caused him to roll around with his hands covering his head. After writhing in pain for a while, he got back up and ~Ki!'ed~ at Hajime as he glared and rushed in again.
Therefore, Hajime let loose the second shot. ~Bachikon!~ sounded out as Randell's head was flung backwards. The sugar cube was crushed and scattered into the air as if dancing and Randell was forcefully performing a backflip due to the sheer power and fell onto the ground once again.
[Your, your highness~! You~, how dare you do that to his highness~!]
[We'll beat and cut you!]
[Protect his highness!]
From the door that Randell flung open, some old men who were guard-like came running in and charged at Hajime.
Bachikon! Bachikon! Bachikon!
Of course in one rotation, the sugar cubes were accurately fired into all members foreheads, in another sense they were all artistically kneeling together.
However, Randell and the old men were quite tenacious, they glared at Hajime as they tried to stand back up. While thinking that they had some nice guts, Hajime grabbed the whole bottle filled with cubes and fired them all after taking them out.
Chuchuchuchuchuchuchuin!
An impossible sound ranged out and sugar cubes were flicked out like a machine gun from Hajime's hand, Randell and them were writhing on the ground like a bad marionette performance.
Although damage was kept to a minimum because they were just sugar cubes, it doesn't change the fact that it still hurt. Shizuku who became absentminded with her jaw dropped down, finally regained her composure and restrained Hajime, the room had already been filled with sobs of sorrow.
After Hajime stopped firing sugar cubes because he ran out, he stared at Randell who had his legs arranged as if he was a woman who was assaulted by a thug and had his face buried into the floor while crying in sorrow. It appears that his heart broke after taking on Hajime's relentless attacks.
The surrounding old men rushed up towards him and were saying, [Your highness~! The wounds are shallow!], in order to comfort him.
Then, Ririana appeared at that timing.
Shizuku was scolding Hajime that he went overboard, Yue who was on top of Hajime's lap was calmly eating and chewing on the teacakes, Hajime who was receiving a warning from Shizuku was indifferently drinking his tea, and Randell who broke down into tears and the old men who were trying to cheer him up as he cried.
When Ririana saw them she understood the situation and covered her eyes with one hand as she looked up towards the sky.
[It appears that I was too late…..]
[*Princess*Hime-san huh? I don't know what it's about, but your blood brother seems to be emotionally unstable? Won't you quickly reclaim him?]
Ririana's eyes seemed to want to say, [It's probably your fault right!], but, certainly it was also because Randell suddenly went out of control under false charges, she gave a deep sigh and helped Randell get up.
The cause why Randell charged at Hajime was obviously due to Kaori.
The completely changed Kaori (body) caused Randell to be surprised and he asked for the reason why she's become like that. From the results, it appears that he understood that it was because of "Hajime-kun", furthermore, due to Kaori's expression while talking about Hajime being exactly like a maiden in love, he finally realised who his true enemy was.
And, a guy who tossed away Kaori's original body can't possibly be a good guy! once he convinced himself he began to rush in and witnessed Hajime embracing another woman while Kaori was yearning for him in her heart which caused him to hit his boiling point in anger.
Randell had intended to challenge and rescue the trapped princess from the demon lord Hajime but…..the results were as shown presently.
Far from giving a beating, he wasn't even able to get close and treated as a minor hindrance, it was pathetic and mortifying so tears finally started flowing out.
While being picked up into Ririana's arms, Randell suddenly cried out, [Aneue~*Older sister*] and clung onto her. Looking at his state, as expected even for Hajime, did I overdo it? he thought as he scratched his cheek. Shizuku was piercing him with an amazed glance at his childishness.
But, Randells misfortunes have not yet ended. Immediately after he buried his face into Ririana's chest, Kaori entered the room.
[Ah, his highness Randell, and Riri as well...wait, what's wrong your highness!? Your crying so much!]
[Ka, Kaori!? No, this, this is, it's not like I wanted to be comforted by my sister…..]
Randell quickly separated from Ririana and desperately made excuses. In front of the woman who he liked, he couldn't bear to say that he was a boy who wanted to be comforted and held by his older sister.
However, Kaori understood the rough situation from Shizuku and Ririana's expression and from Randell's crying and Hajime's attitude, and she finally dropped a bomb after a long time.
[Geez….it's Hajime-kun right? Who made his highness cry. It's not good to bully a younger child]
[No, it's because he suddenly tried to beat me, I just patted him a little…..]
He was actually being serious, but not even being a threat to Hajime, Randell fell into shock. However, the most damaging part was that it was judged that he was naturally being bullied. Suppressing his chest he groaned out, [Gu].
[Patting him…..did you properly "hold back"? His highness is still a "child" after all?]
After having been treated like a child from the woman who he liked, Randell who was humiliated by the assumption, [Ha~u!], further suppressed his chest.
[Ahh, I only flicked some sugar cubes? There's probably hardly any damage. As expected even I wouldn't go around shooting a child]
[But he was "holding onto" Riri wasn't he...moreover his forehead is reddening. Even though he had such a "cute" face….his highness is a bit "quick to assume" and "tends to run out of control" but, at the bottom of it all he's a "good child" so if possible I'd like it if you could "properly choose your opponents"…..]
She was completely aware that he was comforting himself with Riri, while being evaluated as cute as a man, having his bad points pointed out that his older sister continually noted, and furthermore being treated as a child. Randell's knees suddenly gave out and he fell onto the ground on all fours.
[Ara~ra], Riri had a troubled smile but, Shizuku and the old men, [Please stop already, his highnesses life points are already at 0~!], seemed to be raising out bitter voices within themselves.
However, Kaori didn't let up. She worried about Randell who suddenly fell and called out anxiously.
[Your highness, are you alright? As expected the spot where you were hit was too much….]
[...No, I'm not injured. Rather than that…..Kaori....what does Kaori think about me?]
Randell who was covered in wounds, decisively heard Kaori's feelings
[For his highness? Let's see….sometimes I become envious of Riri. I also~ want a naughty younger brother like his highness]
[Gufu~…young, younger brother…..]
The bomb that was dropped with a smile gave additional damage to Randell. Shizuku and the old men were thinking, why would you purposely pour salt onto the wound like that! with a face that seemed to want to cry, it seemed that Randell's eyes had no more strength to withstand it.
However, even if he's small Randell is a man, he can't afford to stop here. Over the past few days, he cried a lot from the news of his fathers death, was helped up by his mother and older sister, and had just sworn in front of the grave to be strong. Now that the king of this country was gone he needed to lead it, he can't afford to be stopped by this level of pain!
[Then…..is that kind of guy good? What's so good about that guy!]
Rendell stared and ~Ki'ed!~ at Hajime, it was as if he was appealing and implying, [Open your eyes Kaori! You should already know who's better!].
Hajime firmly held onto Yue from behind as Randell stared at him. From Randell's view, he was likely the worst person a woman could fall for.
However, Kaori's reply was obvious…..
[Eh? wh, what's with that your highness, suddenly….mo~u, it's embarrassing. But…..fufu, let's see. That person is the person I love. If you asked me what about him I liked then, everything, I guess…..fufu]
And, that gave the final blow to Randell.
Once again Randell looked down and trembled greatly while still on all fours. Although Kaori was worried and about to rubbed his back with her hand and call out to him, Randell suddenly got up and rejected Kaori's hand as he bolted towards the entrance.
And, he turned around once he reached the door,
[I hate the likes of youuuuu!!!]
He cried out loud and ran off. As he left, the shining thing at the corner of his eyes probably wasn't their imaginations. From a distance, [Ua~aaaaaan!!], it was not understood if it was a cry or a courageous shout but it was clearly heard. After Randell's sudden escape, the dumbfounded old men, [Your highness~!], they shouted as they left the room to chase after Randell.
[...That's youth for you]
[Hi~i, more like personal affairs…..you've made him cry]
[No, ma~a, that's right but…..the one who dealt the finishing blow was Kaori right?]
[Ku, I can't refute that…..]
Hajime muttered out as Randell's first love dispersed like the petals of cherry blossoms and Shizuku added in a tsukkomi. Kaori was wondering what was going on and about to run after Randell but Ririana stopped her.
Ririana knew that sooner or later Randell's first love would come to an end, she had intended to comfort her younger brother by sleeping together with him for tonight. Randell was someone who will soon become the King of this country. He should be able to shrug off one or two unrequited loves.
When Ririana firmly closed the door that was left open, she walked towards Hajime and them along with Kaori. It appears that, rather than chasing after Randell, it seemed like she had something to talk about with Hajime and them. Ririana took the seat next to Shizuku.
Kaori was…..locking arms in "hand to hand" against Yue while trying to sit on Hajime's opposite knee which caused them to look like they were pro wrestling.
If it were her original body then, Kaori wouldn't be able to stand up against Yue because she was able to strengthen her body through direct magic manipulation while Kaori was a support type, however, because of the apostle's body she's well able to compete now….more like she seems to be the one who was pushing.
[Kaori….You've become so strong….]
[No, Shizuku. Stop being impressed and stop them]
Ririana tsukkomied Shizuku who had a slightly lonely expression while making her remark. Since there was some shock when Kaori died once, Shizuku was slightly becoming a regrettable person when regarding Kaori. There's no way they could have the classes number 1 person with the most common sense turn into a regrettable character so, Hajime gave Kaori a strong flick to the forehead which forced her to sit on the seat besides them.
[U~u, it's unfair that it's only Yue…..]
[...Fufu, I won't give up Hajime's knee]
[Ano~, I'd like to begin the talk soon but…..]
Ririana called out coyly. However no one paid any attention to her.
[Hajime-kun…..]
[Don't look at me with those eyes, Kaori. You're sitting next to me, isn't it fine?]
[…..I guess it can't be helped then. I'll give you my hand]
[Eh? Really? Then, I want you to caress my cheeks just like how you do it for Yue. ...Or is it no good?]
[If it's just that much then I don't mind]
[Ehehe, thanks, Hajime-kun]
[I'll wait then. Waiting should be fine right? Yes, I'll wait no matter how long…..~gusu~]
Ririana who completely missed her timing to talk, [I, even though I'm a princess…..It's like I'm air], with tears. Shizuku interviened as she couldn't stand it any longer, and finally, Hajime and their pink barrier was removed. Was a bit of Kaori also a part of it? It seems to have been stronger than usual. Is it proof that Kaori's single-minded pursuit was overcoming Hajime…..
[~Kohon~. Back to what I was saying, just as Nagumo-san asked I've spread the rumors about the truth of the churches teachings but….unexpectedly, it seems to be going rather well. As expected, Aiko-san, no, "Goddess of Fertility" seems to have been effective]
[I see. …..Ma~a, people will believe in what they want to believe in, people will naturally get taken in the more it dramatically shakes their hearts. I expected that they'd believe it all without any problems. All that's left, is to wait to see the actual effects….there's no knowing what'll happen after all]
[…..That's right. But, it's still hard to believe. What we've believed for years have been nothing but a fantasy…..my individual stance aside, it's inevitable that a panic will start in the public. As someone from the royal family, Nagumo-san's proposal was a god send]
Ririana bowed and thanked Hajime with a complex expression. Shizuku leaned her neck to the side and and asked, [About what?].
What Hajime and Ririana were talking about was, an explanation for the head temple's collapse to the people.
It's not possible to keep it under wraps forever, the royal palace needed to explain it eventually. However, according to the truth, the "Ehito-sama" which everyone believed in only saw them on the level of being toys and was a bastard who loved war, because everyone in the head temple of the church were a bunch of fanatics, they were all blown up to bits! If that was said it would only cause a panic to occur.
There, Hajime prepared a draft to explain the details and asked Ririana to explain it to the people based on what he had written on it.
It's contents were, reason, an evil god who wished for a war had brainwashed the church members and caused the Kingdom to be invaded. Reason, Aiko who was sent by god was anxious of the situation and fought voluntarily. Reason, the church members risked their lives and fought along with god's apostles and died as martyrs in the end. Reason, In order to protect the Kingdom, Aiko's sword of light poured down, is what it said.
It's not true but it's not a lie either. It was roughly correct.
With that, Aiko as the "Goddess of Fertility" will further, "The evil god may have used Ehito-sama's name, for our own sakes, the true god that we believe in we shouldn't be something that we automatically believe in, we must become humans who are able to think for ourselves and decide when to take action for god. What's right? You must act upon your own judgement. That is what our true god believes in, and for those of the church who died as martyrs" have that kind of speech later at the memorial ceremony.
In other words, Hajime created a false "Evil Ehito" who was mistaken for the true "Good Ehito", the "Goddess of Fertility"'s speech will be the wedge which will plant recognition into the people's hearts. Even if Ehito's name was being talked about, whether it was the "Evil Ehito" or the "Good Ehito" wouldn't be distinguishable by the people, which would in turn make them think about what they should really believe in themselves.
This way, they're able to suppress the public panic of telling the truth that everything that they've believed from when they were born was nothing more than a fantasy, and also, it may become a source of resistance against god in the future...it's only a possibility though.
[I see now…..Nagumo-kun is actually thinking about a lot of various things huh. The talk about god too, leaving it up to Ai-chan to tell the story, and about todays things….]
[Did you mistaken me for some kind of muscle for brains or something? Ma~a, I thought of it on the spot, since it doesn't take much time or effort I decided to do it just this once, although we laid down the foundations…..]
[fufu, I didn't particularly think you were a muscle for brains. I'm saying that you're reliable. Just accept it as a complement]
Hajime shrugged his shoulders towards Shizuku's words. Shizuku glanced at such a reliable Hajime. Somehow the exchanges dispositions were shown, Yue and Kaori were both piercing their eyes onto Shizuku. Shizuku who noticed suddenly began to shake, [Eh, what? What is it?], she asked Yue and them.
[Yue, what do you think?]
[...N, it's still fine. It's still at the friend level]
[Right. "still" huh]
[...N. We need to be cautious]
Yue and Kaori were whispering to each other as they consulted about something. It made Shizuku feel extremely discomfortable. And Ririana became air once again.
Hajime looked at Yue and them with an amazed expression as if saying, what are you guys talking about?

ARIFURETA SHOKUGYOU DE SEKAI SAIKYOU (WN)
C110
Evening.
The red sky was spreading, peoples shadows were growing thin as it stretched, the shadow of a person stood still in front of a huge stone monument made from the stones from the mountain range at the northwest of the royal palace.
[I'm sorry….]
Right, the shadow of the person muttering was Aiko.
The monument towering in front of her, a so-called monument for the faithful who died in battle (A tower which symbolized praise to the souls who died while loyal to their country). It was for the people killed in action and victims who carried out their duties out of loyalty towards the Kingdom, their names were carved here without exception. Even now, there are lots of flower offerings and mementos left by people in front of the monument for those who have died.
Right now, although it's unconfirmed how many people's names were carved onto the stone but, Meld's name will also be added onto here.
Aiko gently placed weapons within the mementos left behind. It was the damaged western sword and spear. It was the artifacts of Aiko's students who passed away——Daisuke Hiyama and Reiichi Kondo.
Aiko voiced out her confession while alone, just what should I be conflicted with. That I wasn't able to bring back Hiyama and them back to Japan, or, because one of my students caused many people to die, or, everything including what I've done...
While AIko was looking down with a dejected atmosphere, she remained standing as if she was enduring something, ~Za zaa~ footsteps resounded. The violently echoing sound was likely to purposely inform others of their own existence approaching. Usually he wouldn't make such noises.
Aiko was startled and raised her face towards the sound.
[Nagumo-kun…..]
[What a coincidence, Sensei]
What was making that noise earlier was Hajime. His eyes were lightened up by the shine of the setting orange sun and stared right at Aiko. He had flowers in his hand. It's obvious to understand that he was there to offer flowers as tributes. Aiko showed a slightly unexpected expression towards his actions.
Hajime noticed that Aiko's expression and guessed that she was probably wondering what he was planning on doing, with a wry smile he placed the flowers onto the floral tribute stand.
[Even I feel like mourning for the dead people a bit, Sensei?]
[Eh? Ah, no, I mean, I don't particularly...]
Hajime suddenly talked to Aiko in an unexpectedly regrettable voice which caused Aiko to be shaken and tried to deceive him by waving her hands back and forth in a hurry. Then Hajime shrugged his shoulders like it was a joke and stood silently by Aiko.
As Aiko frequently glanced at Hajime, it appeared that Hajime was looking up at the huge stone monument and didn't particularly care about Aiko, he didn't seem to have any signs of talking either. Somehow, silence suddenly fell into the area and Aiko decided to reluctantly start a conversation.
[Eh~tto, those flower are…..is it…..for Hiyama-kun and them?]
[There's no way of that happening. It's for Meld]
Hajime raised an eyebrow and plainly replied at the wrong guess.
[For Meld-san…..]
[Ahh, though we weren't acquainted that much, I don't particularly hate people of his nature. Contrary to his position, he worry quite a lot, failed a lot, and was always trying to improve himself…..although I'm only offering flowers its more along the feelings of "how regrettable" towards the people]
[Nagumo-kun…..that's right huh….]
Towards Hajime's words, Aiko's expression suddenly turned gentle. Even though Hajime mercilessly killed his enemies, he still had the proper feelings to mourn for a person's death so Aiko became happy at that. Her cheeks naturally loosened up that he purposely took the time to come and bring an offering.
Actually, Yue and them were taking a bath, he ran away when the women gave off a carnivorous glare in their eyes of wanting to take him into the bath room with them, since there was still time he became free, when he by chance glanced at the flowers being displayed in a vase, he thought, how about killing time by offering flowers? and he pulled some flowers from the vase but…..although his feelings about regret for Meld was real, he couldn't actually tell the truth.
Hajime was taking in the circumstances of the surroundings and frowned at Aiko who loosened her cheeks.
[You're not going to blame me…..]
[Eh?]
Towards Hajime's sudden words, Aiko tilted her neck.
[That thing about Hiyama. The circumstances were different from Shimizu's case. It appears that he was eaten by a demon in the end but, I was the one who pretty much killed him. I killed another of Sensei's beloved students again? Kondo as well, although he was already dead, the one who pretty much destroyed his shape was me. ....I had thought that Sensei would have hit me once or twice out of anger]
[...….]
Aiko's smile was erased and she looked down once again. Hajime was silent. He wasn't pressing her for an answer. How much time was spent silently?.....Before long, Aiko began to gradually voice out her words.
[...To be honest, I can't easily give out a clear answer. I don't believe that it can be forgiven that Hiyama-kun killed Shirasaki-san but, if possible, I would have liked that he live out his life to atone for those sins. It was shocking that Kondo-kun turned out like that. But, I can understand why Nagumo-kun was enraged and showed your strength. An important person was killed in front of your eyes…..with that, although it's against what I'd ideally want, you couldn't do anything but vent out your anger on them. ...Besides, I don't have the qualifications to blame Nagumo-kun]
Aiko crossed her arms and rubbed them both. It was as if her body was getting cold and she was trying to keep warm.
[Are you talking about what you did at the head temple?]
[.....]
A silent confirmation. Temporarily, although Aiko's mind's balance was broken, Hajime and Teio had somehow reverted it back to normal with reproduction magic, once again, it appears that her mind is being worn down by her sense of guilt and ethics. If you looked carefully under her eyes, you'd notice that she had dark circles that she tried to cover up with makeup, it was clear that she wasn't able to sleep for the past several days. It's possible that she was having nightmares.
Silence descended down once again. Hajime didn't say anything and stood still. Was she unable to endure the atmosphere anymore? Aiko asked Hajime while lacking drive.
[...Is it...not painful for you Nagumo-kun?]
[Killing people? I don't particularly think it's painful...I think that that part of me probably broke when I fell into the abyss. That's why I can't sympathise with you]
[.....]
Towards Hajime's words, Aiko's face distorts in bitterness. Something important in Hajime was broken and, in a single strike, Aiko's state of mind further tightened up.
[…..No one…..blames me]
[Eh?]
Aiko leaked out her voice as if she couldn't endure it.
[No one blames me. The eyes of the children in our class doesn't look at me any differently, as for the Kingdom's citizens, they were looking at me with praise]
That was a fact. All classmates, had a strong impression from Hajime who was too gruesome in his battle, they didn't really have much feelings about Aiko's assistance in homicide, rather they were under the impression that Aiko fought for herself and took on the brunt of the load for their sakes, the Kingdom aristocrats and government officials were thankful that the brainwashing problem was solved.
[Though I've talked about it all to David-san and them, even they wanted a bit of time to think about and left it rather than immediately blaming me. Even though I robbed them of their important things]
Blood dripped from her lip that she bit. Aiko probably wanted to be blamed for it. The act of killing a person…..is heavy. As long as they're not a maniac or rotten person, normally their minds would be hurt by the blades named guilt and ethics. So for such people, taking the blame and accepting the punishment, are in a sense a kind of salvation.
Aiko herself probably unconsciously seeked for that. However, that wasn't given to her.
Although Hajime can agree that she played a part in overthrowing the church, he believed that even without Aiko, Teio would have still somehow managed to exterminate them someway or another, he thought that bearing the burden alone was a bit much, so as if he was troubled he scratched his cheek as he opened his mouth.
[Even if you say that, Sensei. The direct cause was due to Teio's breath, Sensei only helped out a little? I don't think you should take on the burden as if everything was your fault…..]
[Those kind of things don't matter! I certainly...understood the possibility of them being killed but I still helped Teio-san. That's no different than directly murdering them!]
Unexpectedly, Aiko gave out her rebuttal strongly. Aiko herself probably felt ashamed that she raised her voice as she shrank down apologetically. Looking at Aiko with a side glance, after a moment of silence, Hajime calmly asked.
[…..Do you regret it?]
[~...No, at that time, I was resolute with Teio-san…..because I couldn't overlook what the church was doing….to help you…..if that was left alone then the students would surely have had terrible experiences…..that's why…..]
While Aiko was holding back a painful voice, she replied that she "Had no regrets".
At that time, when she looked at Ishtar and them who had cornered Hajime, not just for Hajime but also for the sake of her students to not have to fight, her resolution to dirty her hands was real. Even now that was still unshaken. However, she was suffering while carrying the people who she's killed on her back, it wasn't something that reasoning could solve.
Hajime let out a small sigh that wouldn't be noticed by Aiko as he glanced towards the side at Aiko who looked like she was suffering. Why did a teacher like Aiko reveal such heavy feelings to a student like me. Even though I only came here to kill some time...he grieved in his mind.
And, suddenly, he recalled Aiko's feelings that Yue and Shizuku pointed out earlier in the day and worried if that was the cause. It appears that Hajime was leaving Aiko's student category in full-blast.
Hajime's eyes were wandering around. He was completely looking for words.
[About Sensei, will you still be a Sensei from now on?]
[Eh?]
Towards Hajime's abrupt question, Aiko's expression unintentionally became blank. And she remembered that she was asked the same question once before. At that time, she should have answered with confidence, [Naturally!]
[........]
Now she was unable to immediately answer. That was because she questioned herself if she should declare herself as a teacher after having killed people. Aiko was tightly clenching her teeth and her expression distorted. He understood that Aiko was having an extreme conflict whirling within her mind.
As if he expected it, on behalf of Aiko who couldn't answer, Hajime began to talk.
[If, Sensei says that she'll continue being our Sensei from now on...will you listen to my selfishness as a student]
[Selfishness…..is it?]
Aiko who had a bad complexion and seemed to collapse at any moment, showed a perplexed expression from the words that came out of Hajime's mouth.
[Yeah, my selfishness]
Hajime removed his sights from the monument while nodding and faced Aiko to match their eyes together. As she was being stared at Hajime, from somewhere within her, warmth was starting to well up and as if attracted by it Aiko also stared back.
After Hajime confirmed that he was firmly reflected in Aiko's eyes, he slowly said his words. Exactly as Hajime said before, they were hopelessly selfish words.
[Sensei…..I want Sensei to feel guilty about it. I want you to shoulder it's weight. Justly fighting, justly shouldering it, justly suffering, and justly complaining. To be human-like is slightly dazzling. I'm already unable to feel anything after all...you'll be a good example for me to not forget my "Humanity". So that's why, continue shouldering it from now on. I'll properly watch such a human-like Sensei after all. If I do so then even after I return to Japan, I'll be able to live humanely]
[Nagumo-kun...]
Aiko's eyes opened up widely towards Hajime's words. She would have never thought in her dreams that he'd not blame her nor cheer her, but instead tell her to continue suffering from now on. But, towards that selfishness, in a sense, made her remember the shock which came from killing as it formed ominous clouds within Aiko's heart.
The results of her determination and actions were serious. All the more it was painful as well. She wanted to run away and almost became broken. Her natural character made it extra painful because she was determined and resolute.
But, when she looked at herself, she had people who were willing to help her. The important things that were lost, there's a person who can't feel but remember them.
Aiko thought.
——Ahh, how very selfish. What mercilessly gentle selfishness
A transparent drop ran down Aiko's cheeks. Everything she's endured up until now in order to not cry easily crumbled.
As Aiko was shedding tears, Hajime averted his glance and turned his back as he troubled conveyed the his last words.
[Ma~a, times when it's so painful that it seems like you'd break, by all means...since there's no one here…..since there's really~ no one here so it won't be embarrassing...I'll lend you my back]
[~….Really…..people like you are…..]
I'll pretend that I didn't notice that Aiko was crying? is what Hajime seemed to say as he showed his back, Aiko approached while smiling and crying and buried her face into his back.
[Then, I'll be borrowing it for a bit. …..Nagumo-kun]
[Alright, Sensei]
Aiko's cheeks loosened up because of Hajime's casual answer and she entrusted her body. While shedding tears as if they were everything she's saved up, she once again vowed. In other words, she'll continue being a teacher. And continue shouldering her sins. If a selfish student would be watching her then…..she felt like she'll be able to do her best.
The shadow of the two people expanded towards the east. As the night fell, the sounds of sobs resounded for a while.
After this, Hajime returned to the royal palace along with Aiko after she had finished crying but, while blushing randomly and looking down shamefully, Aiko was gracefully walking besides Hajime, to be honest, this may have done it...it goes without saying that he was breaking out in cold sweat.
And sure enough, Yue and them noticed and it's needless to say what happened when he was taken into their room. About this case, Shia and them and i, Yue's silent expressionless stare n particular was the most painful.
It should be noted, that they coincidentally met up with David and them of the temple knights as they returned to the royal palace but...it appears that, in the end their love for Aiko won.
To begin with, the reason why they accompanied Aiko as guards was due to various senses of values but, after being forcefully pulled away from Aiko when they returned to the Kingdom and was forced to descend the mountain without being confirming her safety made them start harboring doubt for the people of the church. Although they were considerably shocked when the truth of the church and god was revealed, as expected they still came to the conclusion that they couldn't hate Aiko.
Although they kinda had a feeling of complete desperation hanging around them…..from now on, while believing in the "Goddess of Fertility", they decided to revive and serve to protect the Kingdom as knights. Thinking about it again, it felt as if they carried a strange sublime feeling of love for Aiko but...surely they had lots of things to think about as well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Enough already, really geez! Ok!]
[Hajime-kun…..please be a bit more cautious?]
[Fufufu, as expected of master, to deliver the final blow after we just looked away for a moment….]
In the dining room of the royal palace, while eating dinner, Shia's and their voices resounded out as if blaming something. Hajime who it was being directed at was just enjoying the meal in front of him as if it was someone elses problem.
Although Yue who was sitting to his right wasn't saying anything, her eyes looked at him as if she was looking at a troublesome person. When they heard of the circumstances, [Ma~a, guess It couldn't be helped then] is what they thought, clearly the feelings that Aiko has for Hajime inside of her was complex due to the fact that he was her student.
Moreover, after hearing Hajime's stance of "neglecting" Aiko's treatment, they somewhat harbored feelings of sympathy for Aiko.
[...Hajime. Does it seem like Aiko will be able to endure?]
Because they heard of the contents from Hajime, Yue was slightly worried and asked. As opposed to it, Hajime stopped eating and seemed to be thinking a little.
[N~, it's not alright? Worst case scenario, if it looks too dangerous I'll have to create an artifact to stabilize her mind using Spirit magic. Ma~a, even if we don't worry about it, with time, that person will be able to digest it in neatly]
[...I see, that's good]
As Yue's eyes loosened up, Hajime also smiled.
[As expected of…..Yue-san. With just one step, she gets ahead by two]
[Is this…..the difference between her and me? Ku, I won't lose! I won't lose!]
[Umu, should it be called naturally or something….it was a technique which touched masters heart as if completely natural…..If I had to say it, it's a godly skill. Obediently allow me to praise you]
[...Unwillingly evaluated]
Shia who was looking at her with a terrified expression, Kaori who looked mortified, and Teio who was feeling admiration. Yue's expression became bitter after being unexpectedly evaluated. Hajime smiled wryly as he stroke Yue's hair.
Among Hajime and his companions, in a sense as their feelings of getting along was firing up, an unexpected group came into the dining room. It was Kouki and them as well as his classmates. It appears that everyone including Aiko had come.
When Hajime looked at them for a moment, he frowned slightly. Beforehand, he heard of the times when they would be eating, he had thought that he would be able to comfortably eat with his companions but…..it appears that that plan was thrown off.
Ma~a, there's no need to anxiously consider it, Hajime renewed his thoughts as he continued eating his meal. Yue and them didn't particularly mind either.
But, it doesn't appear that his classmates thought the same, some people thought it was rather interesting, some people felt slightly awkward, and some people were lost as to what to do and became restless. Although they frequently glanced over, they were reminded of Hajime's previous statement that he didn't see them as companions and much less held much interest in it, so they were hesitant to call out to him. By the way, Aiko was staring at Hajime for a different kind of reason.
[Ah~, Shizuku-chan! Over here!]
[Kaori. Can I sit next to you?]
[Of course]
Kaori was showing a friendly smile with Nointo's cool face, Shizuku also naturally loosened her cheeks as she sat next to her.
At first It was still hard for the classmates to accept the fact that Kaori had changed her body but, the atmosphere of Kaori's image and smile allowed them to loosen up. Even if her body has changed, Kaori's peaceful atmosphere allowed her classmates hearts to relax. Or rather, when compared to the time when Hajime lost his cool, it was only slightly nerve wracking, there were many classmates who were glad that Kaori had returned.
*It's funny cause the author didn't mention Ryutaro here*When Shizuku sat on the seat, Kouki sat on the seat next to her, and Aiko sat on the opposite side, while Suzu sat next to aiko. Aiko was right next to Yue. The other classmates proceeded to sit on the other remaining seats. Suzu looked at Yue as she sat, [Excuse me…..for sitting besides Oneesama!], she said with a strangely tensed expression. Yue said, [...Why Oneesama?] while tilting her head.
When Kouki and them took their seats, the excellent maids of the royal palace began to move together and set the table. It was practically the same menu that Hajime and them had.
Then, at that time, over Yue's head, Hajime and Aiko's glances connected. At once, Aiko's cheeks were lightly stained, she shamefully averted her eyes. Even still, she'd frequently glance back at Hajime, and secretly whispered out in a quiet voice.
[A, ano, Nagumo-kun…..sono, that thing from a while ago…..sono, if possible….]
Having to talk over Yue caused her to be a bit uncomfortable, most likely, as an adult, and, as a teacher, it was shameful to ask of Hajime so she kept quiet and decided to not say it.
Hajime guessed that Yue had decided to not mind it, and he thanked her within himself while looking at Aiko.
Suddenly her body was shaken and Aiko's ears began to be dyed as well. There was a feeling that it was too late now that their eyes had matched up, Shizuku and them paid attention to Aiko's appearance as she stared at Hajime. Fortunately, it was a blind spot for the other students so they weren't found out but, the relatively close frontlines-group classmates saw it and were rather suspicious.
[About what, Sensei. Was there something?]
[Fu~e?]
Naturally Hajime had decided to pretend not to know anything. Aiko was momentarily dimmed by that attitude but, she guessed that he was willing to keep it a secret, with a wry smile, [No, it's nothing], she answered. Although she was thinking that she was cowardly for having Hajime take care of it, she became happy and smiled because he was considerate.
When they saw Aiko's state, more and more, the female's began to turn their eyes onto Hajime. Only Yue was comforting Hajime by patting his shoulder, in addition, [Ah~n], as well. As expected of the true heroine. She was clearly different from the recent violent heroines of today.
Hajime was absorbed in his deep thoughts, as expected, Yue is the best lover! I don't know how many times I've "fallen for her again", Shia who sat on his opposite side began to tug on his sleeve.
[Hajime-san. Ah~n, desu]
It appears that rather than getting angry that her rivals in love seems to have increased, she judged that now seems to be the time for her to show her appeal. While blushing and glancing upwards, she gracefully presented a fork. At that point, she didn't forget to also quietly draw her Usamimis closer to Hajime as well. She was wonderfully cunning.
Hajime had no hesitations since they've been doing it for a while, and consumed it in a bite. As Hajime chewed it in his mouth, Shia's Usamimis were waving as if she was happy, incidentally, her bunny tail was also wiggling.
When such a spectacle was shown, Kaori and Teio couldn't afford to stay put either. Both of them panicked and thrusted their forks into their food.
[Ha, Hajime-kun, me too, ah~n!]
[Master. Please eat mistress's without delay. ah~nja]
[...Just this once]
No matter how many [Ah~n] were done, if the menu was the same then he'd get bored. That's why, he gave out a warning, the 2 [Ah~n]'ed as they responded to Hajime. With that he consumed both with a bite each. Kaori and Teio both had soft and warm expressions. *<-it's described as ???, basically that fulfilling look that anime characters get when they see cute things*
[What's with this atmosphere…..it's very uncomfortable…..]
Shizuku's cheeks cramped up as a pink barrier surrounded Hajime. Kouki and Ryutaro who was next to her and Suzu also felt uncomfortable. Only Aiko had thought for a moment if she should also do it, while she was scolding herself for thinking about it everyone else were already through with it.
The other school girls had an awkward air around them as the sweet air dispersed, as they stared at Hajime and them they began to, K~ya K~ya, and make a ruckus. The eyes which seemed to have looked at Hajime containing slight fears was now converted into a love story almost immediately. Since that day when he fell into hell, who would have thought that "he" would become the owner of this kind of harem...the girl's eyes shined with curiosity and watched Hajime.
On one side, the boys as had slight fears like the girls but it turned into awe as they paid attention.
However, there were also glares of jealousy and envy which burned brightly that appeared here and there. After all, Hajime was surrounded by beautiful women and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them "peerless" beauties. Many eyes gazed on Shia in particular. As expected, even if they didn't have a geeky hobby, a girl with Usamimis accurately tickled the heart of a man. Furthermore the present Shia had a lovely smile as she was next to Hajime, occasionally, her Usamimi's that moved around had extremely destructive powers.
But, no matter how much they were consumed by jealousy and envy, would they get to know the secret to happily get along with beauties in a different world if they asked? but they couldn't say it. Once before, they called Hajime "incompetent" so they kept to themselves quietly, his overwhelming strength and unique atmosphere he carried now was enough to make them lose their nerves.
Hajime was lightly ignoring his classmate's stares however for some reason, Kaori who he saw at the edge of his view was blushing while holding a fork…..
Kaori had allowed her eyes to swim around a bit and seems to have come to a conclusion about something, she apologetically used her fork to eat up the rest of her dish. And she blushed once again.
Instinctively, is it puberty! Hajime was tempted to tsukkomi but, before he could, Yue's severe tsukkomi came out. At the same time that Kaori who noticed that Yue was quietly watching her and aligned their eyes, those words came out.
[...Hentai] *<-Pervert*
[! Tha, that's wrong! What are you saying! I, I'm only eating as usual!]
[...Is what you say, but you're thoroughly enjoying Hajime's taste]
[A, am not! Be, besides, if you're saying such things then, Teio is the real hentai right! Look, she's magnificently licking the fork!]
[Rerorerorero, nmu?] *<-Rero = Licking noises*
Kaori refuted Yue with a bright red face, ~Bishi~! and pointed an Teio. Up ahead of that was Teio who was licking and savoring a normal fork with a blank look.
That's right, are there any problems? is what her expression was like, Teio was holding the fork in her mouth like nothing was wrong. She was clearly enjoying something else. She was through with some other kind of content. She was a huge M hentai, but it appears that she somehow evolved into a anything goes hentai somewhere along the line.
[Teio, stop that immediately. Or I'll send you flying]
Hajime warned Teio while his temple was twitching.
[Mu~u, I guess there's no other way. …..Master still hasn't kissed mistress yet. If I don't satisfy myself at times like these, I'll become frustrated]
Hajime's temple twitched more because for some odd reason he was criticized back. Then, at that time, Teio suddenly recalled something and her eyes started shining.
[That's right! Master! I haven't received my reward yet! Mistress desires the promised reward!]
[Ah? "Reward"?]
Towards Teio's words, for a moment Hajime was thinking, [What are you talking about?], as he frowned, then he immediately recalled and clicked his tongue ~Chi~. The people who didn't know what they were talking about tilted their heads, as the representative, Shia asked.
[What do you guys mean...by reward?]
[Umu, at the head temple where Sensei-dono was entrusted to me, I was promised that I would be rewarded if I kept her safe until the end. Nufufufu…..master. You're not thinking about going back on your promise right?]
Shia and Kaori both, [That's sly!], and made a ruckus, Teio urged that the promise be kept while laughing heartily. Somehow or another, everyone's attention were gathering, Hajime had an unpleased look as he turned towards Teio.
[And? What's your wish? Though I'll say it first, I'll only do what's "within my range" alright?]
Implying that just like the time with Shia's reward, requests like *sex*"Hold me" won't be allowed? Teio also seems to have guessed his intentions and she nodded exaggeratedly that she understood it. And while blushing and fidgeting, she said her demand.
[Be relieved, I won't be asking anything unreasonable. It's~, just like when we first met…..I want you to tease mistress's ass]
With both hands on her cheeks, [K~ya! I said it!], Teio seemed to be implying as she ~Iyan Iyan~'ed. Because it's already been done once, it wouldn't be unreasonable? And completely disregarded the abnormality of the contents as she asked for an unreasonable demand. As expected of a Hentai.
Sure enough, all humans other than Yue and them were intensely shocked by those remarks.
Their eyes turned towards Hajime, it was the same eyes as if looking at a criminal.
[Rejected, this worthless dragon. Don't go saying remarks that remarkably invite misunderstandings!]
Towards Hajime who plainly rejected the demand, Teio made an expression as if she was shocked and intensely protested.
[Wh, why! It shouldn't have been an unreasonable demand! Just like at that time, I just want you to thrust your thick and hard, black rod into mistress's ass! Just like that time when you were always grinding up and quickly pulling it out while ignoring mistress's pleas! I want you to relentlessly torment mistress's ass!]
[I've already said it! Quit saying remarks that invite misunderstandings!]
The gazes being directed at Hajime turned into eyes as if looking at a devil.
[...But, It's not a complete misunderstanding right?]
Yue and them, [Ah]'ed, Aiko who seemed to have been slightly displeased expression called out to Hajime with thorns attached.
[...Certainly, you didn't say any lies]
[Actually, it was stuck…..]
[Un, Nagumo-kun was completely merciless]
The classmates' doubts changed into conviction after hearing Aiko and the Ai-chan bodyguards such as Sonobe and the others voiced their thoughts.
[...Hajime-san, as expected calling it a misunderstanding is a little...]
[...Hajime. Hajime was the cause of Teio's Hentai transformation. It can't be helped]
Unexpectedly Shia and Yue had betrayed him.
[Na, Nagumo-kun…..people like you...what have you done to Teio-san…..]
[Hajime-kun...how envio-...I mean, you have to take responsibility]
The gazes directed at Hajime were like eyes that were looking at a demon lord.
Hajime slowly stood up without a word and stretched out his right hand upwards. In front of everyone who was wondering what he was going to do, Hajime pulled out the black stake for Pile-bunker out of the "Treasure Warehouse". For some reason, the stake was already giving out red sparks as he pulled it out.
Cold sweat ran down Teio's cheek.
[OK, Teio. Lets give you your reward. Eh? You want it rammed up your ass right? Rejoyce, its much thicker and harder than before, it's an excellent piece which I can boast about. You won't even have time to pant, you'll die in an instant]
Teio had realised, [This is bad, I got too full of myself].
Pile-bunker being used on Teio was the results of a fight, while being viewed with eyes as if looking at a pervert, Hajime simply went berserk. By the way, if you looked objectively, it certainly wasn't a misunderstanding when pointed out.
[W, wait a bit, master. What I said a while ago was only an example, I didn't say that you had to use it again? As expected, if something like that is used I'll end up dying! I'll apologise so, quickly, put that away!]
[Don't hold back Teio. You want this right? What, did you want to waste precious time to go to a room. I'll pierce you here]
[Hi~n, master's eyes are serious~! Yue, Shia, Kaori~, stop master already! Help me~!]
As Hajime approached while gushing out sparks and crackles, Teio became teary eyed and asked for Yue and them for help. As expected, she didn't want the punishment of dying in a single blow. But, her cheeks were slightly blushed and her breathing was rough, it seems that her performance ran deep.
Hajime looked at Teio who was clinging onto Kaori and hiding behind her, and with his upset feelings washed away he, ~Fu~n~, snuffled with his nose, the stake was returned into the "Treasure Warehouse" and he returned to his seat. However, the classmates didn't lose their evaluations of him being a demon lord. Later, two kinds of names spread throughout the Kingdom about the "White haired eyepatch wearing demon king" but...if Hajime had known that he would have gone insane.
[Ha~a, and? The reward itself doesn't really matter but, don't you have a more decent demand?]
Hajime let out a sigh as he got back to his seat, it was a sigh of relief in various meanings. The scene where the ass of a beautiful young woman that was about to happen in front of their eyes was well over the capacity for the high school students.
[U, umu. Then, let's see, the rights of laying on the bed with you? See, it's always Yue and Shia who gets to be next to master right? Mistress has never slept next to master before. That's why, tonight, I want to sleep next to master, how about it?]
[Something of that degree is cheap. …..Or rather just say that from the start]
[Mistress's passion surged out, it's not something I can control so easily. Accept it]
Teio who was ashamed was wiggling with a surprised expression, when she looked at Shia who was next to her, Shia said, [There's no helping it then huh~] and shrugged her shoulders. It appears that, tonight, he'll be sleeping between Yue and Teio. But, while in bed, Hajime would be sandwiched by something else…..
The school girls were making a ruckus again as they went, K~ya K~ya, and the male students were beginning to utter out some kind of curse.
Additionally, Aiko, sleeping with multiple females is immoral! began to give out a teacher-like (Actually, she probably held a lot of personal resentment) preach, on the other hand, with Shia and Yue's relation exposed she was objecting against it now, Yue leaned on Hajime and stuck out her tongue and released her bewitching atmosphere after finishing her meal, because of that the classmates were further heated up, and some boys were unable to stand up straight anymore…..and, the dining room's atmosphere was filled with chaos.
While ignoring the noisy girls uproars, Hajime decided to recall what happened today.
They free falled from [Kamiyama] and appeared with Kaori whose body was replaced, they went to the adventurers guild and created a "Gold" ranked man-woman, played a grand game of tag with the craftsmen of the Kingdom which caused great confusion, allowed the royal family to gain control of the situation, beated up the to-be king and he also lost his first crush.
In order to kill time, by chance, he met up with Aiko and she revealed her heavy worries, and while having dinner expecting to relax it turned into a disturbance. These were the events which happened to Hajime in a day at the Kingdom. It may be Hajime's fate to be a maelstrom of confusion and disturbances.
Tomorrow, Hajime and them will be taking Ririana and them and leaving the Kingdom. Hajime and them have no intentions of entering the Empire's capital at all...Surely, "without a doubt" probably isn't possible.
As expected, what really lies on the grounds towards the east…..Hajime had a premonition of the new disturbances to come, while feeling the softness and warmth of Yue who was hugging his arm, ma~a, whatever it is, he shrugged his shoulder.
