Chapter 181. Former Hero - Returns to Town
The dissatisfaction.
I moved in the front and walked in the forest, and there were pata pata and zashu zashu sounds behind me.
The sound is the footsteps of the unicorn Taruma.
Etna-san is sitting on the back of that horse.
While the sound of zashuzashu is coming from a huge bird that is being ridden by Shia.
Both Shia and Chiyu-san are sitting on the bird’s body.
Why am I the only one who is walking?
I have objections about this.
[Oi, Taruma. Let me ride on you too.]
『Ah, I’m sorry~ The back of my body is only limited to a virgin~』
When I asked, Taruma was delighted because Etna-san rode on its back, and it refused me magnificently with a good mood.
Damn, this workhorse.
Do you forget that I helped you after being targeted by the demons?
Ah, no, I’m not the only one who defeated the demons though?
[Haruto-kun, are you alright? Should we take a rest for a little bit?]
Etna-san worried about me from the back of Taruma.
Ahh, what an angel.
[Ah, no, it’s alright. It’s nothing at all. However, I wonder if Etna-san could ask Taruma to let me ride on its back?]
Taruma will likely pretend to not hear it.
If possible, then together with Etna-san, both of us will ride the white horse and enjoy the romantic date. Uhehehe.
[I am? Umm, Taruma-san? Would you let Haruto-kun ride you?]
Etna-san asked while patting on Taruma’s back gently.
Ahh, I’m envious. I also want to be petted too.
『N-nn~… Even if you asked that…it’s impossible.』
What?
Even after Etna-san asked, you refused it?
This damn horse… I don’t believe it!
Well, it’s not like I didn’t expect it anyway.
[What should I do?]
[It’s impossible. No, it’s good. We’re almost out of the forest soon so I can walk by myself.]
It seems mentally easier to walk than to persuade this horse.
[Umm…]
Shia who was looking at our conversation raised her voice timidly.
[What is it? Do you want to take a rest for a while?]
[No, it’s alright. Moreover… Umm, is Haruto-san able to talk with that unicorn-san?]
By using Chiyu-san’s breasts as a pillow, Shia, who fixed her body, asked while facing me.
[Nn? Yes, I am.]
[Hee! It’s amazing. …is that because you’re a fellow beast? Ah, but it’s still noon right now.]
Are you still stuck with that?
I didn’t say anything strange yesterday.
[Shia-sama!]
When Shia-sama said the beast word, Chiyu-san’s face turned red and warned Shia.
Chiyu-san’s not in a good mood.
Last night’s incident seems to be the cause after all. After I told Shia that I would be a beast at night, it seems to have stimulated her curiosity and she came to crawl to me at night.
-Last night, when I was tired and sleeping, Chiyu-san sneaked into my tent.
That said, even if I say that, since she currently held Shia, she couldn’t move satisfactorily so she was pretty flustered when she got found.
[O-oh, you woke up Amagi Haruto…!]
Chiyu puts her hand on my neck tightly at the level that surprises me if that kind of person really exists.
Why my neck?
Are you trying to strangle me?
[Umm…I’m already awake…]
[Hii!? I-I see, you woke-up…!]
My sudden reply stiffened her body and she released her hand from my neck.
[What on earth do you want at such a time?]
[Th-this is, you see… umm, it’s about…Uuu~…!]
I noticed that Chiyu’s face, which was crawling on all fours over me sleeping, was dyed red enough to be clearly seen even in the darkness of the night,and when I saw her teary eyes, I immediately understood.
Although I’m attracted to her expression, I was tired because of the battle. My body hurt and it made my urge to go to bed stronger.
[You see…]
Shia, who was sitting a little next to me, explained to me that Chiyu-san just kept mumbling without any progress.
She asked Chiyu-san what it means to be a beast at night, but Chiyu-san didn’t tell her anything.
So, at night, she tried to go see the beast directly.
Naturally, Chiyu-san will stop her. Then she was about to tell her the meaning. No, she can’t tell her at all in the end.
After asking and answering questions like this, Chiyu-san will be the one who confirms this for some reason and Shia will observe it. It was a story that came to this conclusion.
I think the conclusion is strange, but it’s a very good conclusion for me.
It’s also called a man’s shame if he doesn’t eat a set meal.
But! However!
I cannot become a beast that night.
My body still hurts and I don’t want to move…
Moreover, Etna-san is sleeping soundly next to me.
Etna-san really has guts because she doesn’t wake-up even when there are several people next to her talking this much.
[I’m sorry about that, but tonight it’s impossible for me to become a beast…]
When I said that, Chiyu-san’s face became brighter.
[I see! If that is so, it can’t be helped! Yes-yes. Now, Shia-sama, let’s return.]
[Eeh~…I want to see the beast…]
-There was a conversation like that.
[Please forget it.]
I use my fingers to poke the area around the thighs of Shia that were just at the line of sight.
What am I poking at even though it is not a forehead?
[Hiyauu!? It hurts…!]
[Unu…Guu…Y-you bastard, how dare you make Shia-sama’s appearance like this…!]
Shia’s body bounced as she flipped her thighs with my fingers because she sticks to it forever.
Chiyu-san doesn’t have the usual sharpness in the tone that blamed me, probably because if this topic is dragged too much, she may crawl at night again. She feels troubled.
[Haruto-kun! You shouldn’t do that to an injured girl, right?]
[Oh, I’m sorry. It was my fault. Did it hurt?]
Etna-san is angry.
It can’t be helped so I apologize to Shia and I patted her thighs that I played around with just now.
Pain, pain, fly away~.
[Hyu…n.]
[Bastard! What do you do!]
When I patted her thighs, Shia’s body bounced again.
At the same time, Chiyu-san’s knife flew so I had to withdraw my hand.
Tsk.
Even when I did it with good intentions.
While doing so, we got through the forest.
The carriage that I had been pulling when we came here was still safe. Good good.
However, I’ll refrain from pulling the carriage in the current situation.
[Taruma. Please pull it.]
『Haa~? Why should I do it?』
Etna got down from its back, and Taruma snapped while in a bad mood.
However, after he was being asked by three beautiful girls (Unicorn-certified virgin girls) which are Etna-san, Shia, and Chiyu-san, it succeeded while making a benefit of defeating the demons.
『Only this once!』
That kind of line is usually being said by tsundere characters.
Shia is laid down in a carriage, Etna-san and Chiyu-san get in, and I give instructions to Taruma to head back to the port city of Verde. The bird is following by itself.
=====
――――――――――
[Taruma, is it okay for you to go to the city of humans? Are you not gonna rampage around?]
『Nn. It’s safe. I’ll be able to endure it.』
I remember that unicorns get angry when they meet a non-virgin and stab them with their horn, but the reality isn’t that far.
Well, if it starts to rampage, let’s do something about it.
Although the rattle and the sound of the carriage made me drowsy, I finally saw the city of Verde.
There have been quite a lot of splendid things that have happened and I feel nostalgic to be able to meet people again.
[Haruto!]
When we moved a little closer to the entrance to the city, suddenly my name was called out loud.
When I looked at it, a girl with blue hair was dashing toward me from the entrance of the city.
[Laurier.]
The carriage stopped and when I landed on the ground, I waited for the petite and adorable girl.
Laurier kicked the ground and jumped up when she came close. And she flew in a straight line towards my chest.
I’m happy with this pattern, but it’s dangerous now.
But, I can’t avoid it…
Laurier jumped into my chest with a banging noise.
Guu! It hurts!
Severe pain runs from the abdomen to the whole body, but I hold out and endure it.
Laurier makes full use of her hands and feet, clings to my torso, and presses her face against my nape.
It hurts… But, it feels good.
It feels painful. I feel complicated.
It’s only been a few days at most, but it’s also true that I’m happy to express my joy with my whole body.
I won’t lose to the pain!
『Sniff sniff… Tsk, the fragrant smell of a non-virgin female.』
[Nn? What with this horse?]
Taruma sniffs the scent of Laurier who is still hugging me.
Ah.
It is a forbidden encounter with Unicorn-san.
[Tsk.]
When Taruma clicked its tongue again, he suddenly turned his face away.
Apparently, he doesn’t really lose his temper and suddenly attacks.
Gashi.
『It hurts!?』
However, Laurier’s left hand catches the Taruma’s horn.
[Did you smell me with your cheeky eyes just now?]
Laurier twisted Taruma’s horns.
Taruma’s words… I don’t know, but she seems to be sensitive to the emotions in his gaze. As expected from the wild children.
Gigigigi.
『It hurttttttt!? S-stop, it will break! It will break! I’m sorry! Seriously! 』
Taruma pleaded with tears, but its words still had not reached Laurier.
[Laurier, it seems like he is already reflecting on it so let it go.]
[Hmm? Is that so? I understand.]
After I said that, Laurier released the horn, and continued to cling to me.
It’s honestly cute. I’ll stroke your head.
『Uhehe… Seriously hurt… Brutal woman.』
Taruma, which just released, is screaming with tears, but it seems to feel relieved.
Suddenly sniffing my woman is an act that deserves death 10000 times if it weren’t a horse.
[Haruto! Laurier is fast…!]
When I was doing that, Sharon came late.
She would have been with Laurier.
[I’m back.]
[Welcome back! Thank you for your hard work!]
As usual, Sharon is full of energy.
[Huh? This horse… Wow! There is a horn. This is the unicorn-san that you were talking about? Amazing! Hello!]
When Sharon, who noticed Taruma, approached it, Taruma suddenly stiffened its body.
Did he get trauma because earlier?
[Are you scared? There, there, it’s alright, you know? Don’t be scared.]
However, Sharon approaches without worrying about such a thing and strokes Tarma’s head.
Umm, Sharon-san. Don’t you remember I told you that it’s dangerous to get close to a unicorn?
『So gentle… For there is such a female… Is she an angel?』
Taruma, who had patted its head, sheds emotional tears.
This sh*tty horse.
I mean, I want you to stop because the impressions and vocabulary that comes out are similar to me.
[Haruto-kun, the voice that I just heard a little while ago…]
[It’s noisy. Have we arrived in the city yet?]
When I was still handling these unicorn matters, Etna-san and Chiyu-san came down from the carriage.
[As I thought, Laurier-chan. Fufu, I’m home. Sharon-chan too.]
[Oh! Etna! You returned.]
[Oh, Etna-san, welcome back!]
Etna-san, Laurier and Sharon exchange greetings.
[Huh? You are…]
Then, Sharon noticed Chiyu’s existence.
Oh sh*t.
No, it’s not particularly dangerous.
I have to introduce her to two people.
…That was what I thought, but Laurier opened her mouth before I said anything.
[Oh, aren’t you the fox girl? It looks like you have been able to meet Haruto properly.]
[Yes, thank you for your kindness on that occasion.]
Eh? Are you an acquaintance?
More like, do you want to meet me?
[D-id you two know each other?]
[Oh, uh. Chiyu and Shia were looking for Haruto in the guild so I told them that they went to the forest.]
Sharon answered my question quickly.
Hee. Is that so?
I mean, these guys are the ones who have been aiming for my life, but did you guys tell me where I am?!
[Huh? What’s wrong?]
Sharon asked a little bit.
[No… Well, the result is okay so it’s okay…I guess?]
Well, I didn’t expect that we would be found that way though.
It can be said that they saved me the trouble of defeating monsters.
Yes, let’s think about it positively.
[Now, although it’s okay to talk outside the city forever, let’s all go back home.]
Etna clapped her hands and urged to do so.
[That’s right. Let’s all go home.]
[Yeah.]
So I have returned back to the city of Verde.
