Chapter 184. Former Hero - Exposed
Translator: Raizu
That night, we all had dinner with Shea and Chiyu, who were greeted as our guests.
And, as a matter of course, the topic of the dining table is the question time for the two.
It’s kind of like lunch break on the day the transfer student came.
No, I’ve never seen a transfer student so I only know that from the development of manga.
[Haruto is strong, right?]
[Oh, yes. It was more than I honestly thought.]
[Fufufu… Right? He is the only man that I couldn’t beat after all!]
Laurier proudly said that along with her non-existent breasts. Aren’t you too excited? But it is cute.
[That’s right? I also… That was my only loss in the last couple of years…]
In contrast, Shea was downhearted and reminded that she also lost. It is cute in itself.
So, have you ever lost in the last couple of years? Perhaps you were wearing an eyepatch at that time?
[Why did Shea want to fight Haruto?]
Following Laurier’s question, Sharon asked her this time.
[It’s a letter from Laval…]
With that said, Shea pulled out a letter from her breasts.
You, when you were close with me, did you already put a letter there?
[Laval…? Laval, huh, maybe…]
Rithina reacted when she heard Laval.
Hmm? Does Rithina know this Laval?
I mean, that’s right. I didn’t hear about that at all.
[Do you know about it, Rithina?]
[Eh? Ah, yes. Maybe…More like, Haruto-kun… don’t you remember?]
[Hmm? What is it?]
Did I forget? I did? Who?
When she heard it, Rithina looked at me as if I was a disappointing person. If you saw me with such eyes, I would get thrilled, you know. …Mostly, I’m also on the path of degeneracy.
[Umm…You see, it’s from the Empire…]
After Rithina said that, I tried to remember it.
Empire?
Empire… Empire…
[?]
Sorry, I can’t remember it.
[His Highness Laval is Shea-sama’s older brother. He had visited here on the way to the Demon King’s expedition.]
Chiyu answered the question itself, looking at me who exposed my stupid side while being unable to remember anything.
On the way to the Demon King expedition…He visited here…?
……
[Ah!]
I remembered. That person is a prince from the Empire!
I think his name is something like that. Perhaps.
Oh yeah… So Laval? Yeah, I see.
Speaking of which, I was a little angry in front of him.
So I wrote a letter to show my stubbornness.
I see I see. I finally understood.
…Hmm? Wait a minute. Is he your brother?
[Umm… Laval… is Shea’s older brother? So does it mean…?]
[Yes. Shea-sama is the thirteenth Princess of the Empire.]
Chiyu answered it.
Huh? Shea is the Princess of the Empire… seriously?
[Oh, about that… don’t worry so much. Even though I am a Princess, my succession rights are lower… so much…]
Shea said that when the dining table became noisy.
[Sh-Shea-chan is Princess-sama? Ah, please forgive me. Shea-sama?
Sharon apologized because she treated her like a friend along the way.
[No… It’s okay to treat me normally without worrying about it…]
Shea suddenly became humble and grateful. She’s a princess but she’s not haughty.
[Yes? I’m glad! Then, can I still call you Shea-chan okay?]
[Yes, you should do that.]
[Un! I understand.]
Sharon is taking it lightly. I wonder if that’s okay?
Is it okay because the person herself is saying that?
[Well, what’s happening under that eyepatch other than that?]
Tanya, who doesn’t care about the Princess of the Empire, continued asking questions.
More importantly, oi you, she is the Princess of the Empire, you know? Why are you more interested in her eyepatch than that?
Do you want to wear an eyepatch too?
Perhaps she didn’t know my position, but for Tanya, she doesn’t care about etiquette.
Someone faithful to curiosity is scary.
[Hey Tanya, you shouldn’t ask too much about that…]
[What? Why?]
[…No, it doesn’t matter though?]
When I tried to warn Tanya, Shea didn’t mind it. Is it alright? Maybe I’m just too careful.
[I wore this eyepatch not because I’m injured.]
After she said that, Shea rolled up her eyepatch.
[Ooh? That’s…]
Everyone’s gaze gathered under the eyepatch that Shea had rolled up.
There are eyes beneath it.
No, that’s obvious, but there were no scratches or anything like that and there was only one golden eye.
The eyes that Shea didn’t cover are pale green eyes. In other words, she has odd-colored eyes.
[The colors are different on the left and right!]
[This is my first time seeing it!]
[Well now…]
Everyone who saw Shea also expressed their impressions. Odd-colored eyes are rare in this world.
[I usually wear an eyepatch because it stands out a little.]
Shea puts her eyepatch back on.
Does she even hide it with her eyepatch because she stands out? Doesn’t only depend on one eye really alright because of the sense of distance? Well, if the person herself is good, I shouldn’t worry about it.
[Hmm… Then, do you have to wear that hood?]
Tanya, who has solved the mystery of the eyepatch, asked more questions.
Shea had been wearing a hood all the time. Every time. Even now at this moment, when she is still eating too.
[T-this is…]
Shea held the hood that she was wearing with both hands while mumbling this time. That gesture is cute.
……No, not that, is it difficult to explain that?
By the way, I know what’s going on under that hood.
When I fought against Shea, I completely blew off all her clothes.
At that time, her eyepatch did not come off but I saw it under the hood.
Shea’s head has small horns growing on it.
She probably wanted to hide it.
I wonder if there is any reason why odd-colored eyes are good, but she doesn’t want to show her horns and rather hide them?
Furthermore, it is hidden in the clothes, but there is even a black and slender tail from the tail.
She is not human by any means.
However… She doesn’t seem to be a beastman.
Is it a demon?
If Shea is a demon, was the Empire a country where the demon is king?
Ah… no, the Emperor may be a human and her mother may be a demon?
Whatever it is, I don’t think it’s good to know.
[I’m sorry, but please can you not pursue it that much?]
When Shea hesitated, Chiyu resolutely answered it.
As I thought, it seems that it is a situation that no one should know.
Even if it doesn’t matter to others, it can’t be helped by the person herself.
[Hmm~? I don’t know why, but alright.]
After she heard it, Tanya withdrew easily because she wasn’t so interested.
And she started to bite into the meat in front of her, wondering if there was anything else that she wanted to ask.
I will also not touch on the topic of Shea’s horns either.
[By the way, when will both of you return home?]
After the question time for Shea and Chiyu had settled down, I asked the question that made me curious the most.
Perhaps she heard it and thought was it a rude question?
It may have sounded like I was saying [Go home quickly] in the current situation.
I can’t help but regret it now…
[Shea-sama, how would you like it?]
Despite my regrets, Chiyu asked Shea with a feeling that she doesn’t care at all.
[Hmm~… What should I do… I haven’t seen the beast at night yet…]
Ah, wait…
Shea showed a troubled face while saying that.
That’s… I wonder if she hasn’t given up yet …
[Beast at night…?]
Kagura looked at me in response to Shea’s words.
Or rather, everyone on the spot looked at me.
[…]
Wha.
It’s amazing even though there are so many people, but everyone has the same reaction.
No, wait, wait, why do you guys associate me completely with the words [Beast at night]?
[Shea-sama, you don’t have to look at it anymore!]
[Ehh… But.]
After a moment of indescribable silence, Chiyu-san tried to persuade Shea.
[But isn’t Haruto always a beast, not only at night?]
[Hahaha! Yes, he is!]
Once again, Laurier said something unnecessary when everyone’s eyes tormented me.
And Tanya happily agreed to it.
Damn. I can’t deny it.
[Eh? Is that so?]
Shea bit the bait.
[Umu. If there’s a chance, he will touch my butt. When no one is watching, he will touch my breast. When there is a bed, he will push me down, and if he sees a sleeping woman, he will touch her…]
[Oi, Laurier, shut up for a bit.]
I hurriedly stopped Laurier who began to expose my behavior accurately.
[That’s a beast…?!]
Shea listened to Laurier’s story and nodded with interest and Chiyu-san was glancing at my face while I felt flustered.
Stop it. Seriously stop.
As soon as the place started to get heated due to my lower body situation, the door of the cafeteria opened with a loud voice.
I was surprised. Who is it?!
Everyone on the spot turned to the open door.
Aura stood there with an exhausted face, bleeding from her shoulders.
