Curse Reflect(Erotic: Pure Love)
“Hero-sama, can I have a bit of your time?”
It’s decided that until the Princess and the Chivalric Order Captain head to the Feudal Lord’s mansion, Alicia and I will have a bit of alone time.
“Will the matters from tomorrow onwards be okay?”
“Yes. I do feel uneasy, but I think I can probably handle it. Alicia-sama as well, are you alright?”
“Eeh. I, of course, have no problem. Ah, but……”
“Yes”
We’re alone in the inn’s room because the Chivalric Order Captain left. And then we’re fellow lovers.
Princess-sama approaches me and places her hand on my chest.
Beautifully arranged golden hair along with blue eyes.
It’s such a well-put-together appearance that all I can say is, ‘this is what you call Royalty huh’
“It is inevitable to feel uneasy. However, this is also something you ought to do as the Hero. Will you let me soothe your painful feelings, even if it is just a little……?”
“Alicia-sama”
Her face is close, and those eyes of hers are moist.
It’s a pair of perfect upward-looking eyes like they were calculated.
“It is not like we are unable to meet for the entire week, right”
“Eeh. Of course. I will be in the Feudal Lord’s mansion. Hero-sama, you have duties you ought to fulfil as well, but upon finishing that, you can come and visit where I am at any time, you know……?”
I see. She’s saying that if there’s anything painful, I can just go and have her console me.
She’s not going to be constantly supporting me by my side.
I mean, she’s the Royal Family after all. It’s a love with status differences right from the start.
She’s telling me that she’ll accept me if anything happens whenever it may be.
I’ve got to personally seek her out when I get hurt.
“Alicia-sama, uh. How is your body’s discomfort?”
“……myy, Hero-sama”
She giggles bashfully.
“But I am worried. That whether or not there will be bad people using Alicia-sama’s body’s discomfort as a pretext to try and hurt you”
For example, the Her-……Demon Lord who places a sex curse on the Princess might be around.
What an unbelievably insolent individual towards the Royal Family.
“Yeah. Though I am alright for now”
She hesitates.
She’s probably thinking about the curse that’s placed on herself.
She’s capable of dealing with it herself. But it might be insufficient.
When she consequently has a lewd nightmare, she will not be at the Royal Castle but at a local mansion.
If that happens, what awaits her, the Princess, might be a horribly humiliating scene.
Blundering in the local Feudal Lord’s mansion, she’ll be made into a laughing stock, going, ‘the Princess is lecherous’ and whatnot by the nobles…….
I kinda wanna see it.
“Actually, my physical condition has also been good for roughly these two days. But”
“But?”
“I might end up losing it again……unbeknownst to the Hero”
“No way……I, don’t want something like that!”
, leaning forward. I reduce our distance.
“Myy, Hero-sama. Do you want to monopolise me?”
“Eeh! If possible, from now until forever. Alicia-sama”
“……sure. I belong to the Hero-sama after all”
And then, the Princess drew closer to me as it is, stretched herself slightly……and kissed me.
“Nn”
I, put my hands on her shoulders. Kissing her repeatedly as it is over and over again.
“Alicia-sama”
“Nn, chuu……nn……”
After carefully kissing her repeatedly for a bit, I get closer to her while taking her hands.
“Hero-sama, the bed over there……”
I brought her over as invited, and we sat down on the inn’s bed together.
Both of us are sufficiently aroused.
I hugged and pulled her shoulders close to me and again kissed her over and over again.
“Haa……nn……”
After kissing repeatedly, we pause for a bit to catch our breath.
“Alicia-sama, why do you allow me to go this far”
“……what are you saying, Hero-sama. It is because I am enamoured with you”
After such a confession, we again kissed repeatedly.
The her today shouldn’t be feeling unwell. And yet she’s doing this.
“Haa……haa”
“May I comfort your body again?”
“……eeh”
The Princess nods at me embarrassedly.
I slithered my hand to her breast above the clothes and started slowly stimulating her.
“Would you like to get above my lap like before?”
“Ye-, yes……”
She sits above my lap.
Initially, she closes her legs, and it’s the posture that’s literally the princess-carry.
Both of us adjust our postures so it’s even easier for me to caress her.
While I hugged and pulled her waist close to me with one hand, I continued caressing her breast with the other hand.
“Nn……ah”
I fondle along the contour of her breast, deliberately avoiding touching her nipple.
“Uu……nn……haa……”
And after gradually stringing her up, I very lightly scratched the tip.
“Nnn!”
Even a stimulation that should’ve been light seems to feel good for her.
“Alicia-sama. May I touch the bottom with my hand……?”
“Haa, nn……. Haa, e-, eeh……please do”
She accepts my act even for this place.
I wonder if she’s thinking, ‘I have to constantly vent my sexual desires’.
Or I wonder if the Princess desires the act itself in her own way.
“Haa……nn……”
I move my hand from the breast I was caressing and slither it along her body.
And then my fingers arrived at her crotch.
“Nn……”
With my other hand, I continue caressing and stimulating her breast as it is.
I decided that, in any case, I’ll do it gently for the genitalia caressing.
Deceiving her won’t work since there’s no abnormality in her body this time around.
I’ve got to string the raw Princess Alicia’s body up well.
“Ah……haa……”
When I started stimulating it over her underwear, the Princess entrusted her body to me even further.
Being able to feel that weight, too, feels good in itself.
“Nn, nn……”
I trace the outline with my index and middle finger over her underwear. Gently, gently.
“Ah……nn, nn……noo……!”
Princess Alicia lets her voice out like she’s feeling good, and her body starts twitching in response.
And then, as naturally as possible……I made her open her legs.
I continue the stimulation on her genitalia further as well.
“Ah……noo……noo……!”
Her opened legs are rising increasingly and becoming like an M shape.
I started stimulating her most sensitive part all while being over her underwear.
“Nnn!”
Immediately after, the Princess-sama displays a remarkably bigger reaction.
“Does it hurt……?”
“N-, no……. It-, it feels very……good. Please……continue as it is……haa”
The Princess gives her permission to continue even as she’s sighing.
Let’s continue to stimulate her as it is and make her finish.
“Ah……an, an……aah! He-, Hero-sama……!”
I gradually intensify the stimulation while looking closely at the Princess’s movements and reactions.
And then.
“Ah……annn!”
The Princess-sama jerks and finishes above my lap.
It seems she managed to properly acquire sweet pleasure; that reaction of hers feels good.
“……may I still continue?”
“Nn……haa……yes……eeh. A few more times……haa, haa”
I decided to carry on and tease the Princess, who got into that mood, until I make her finish multiple times.
“Ah……ah……”
“May I touch it directly, Alicia-sama”
“Nn……ye-, yes……”
It seems she’ll allow me to infiltrate her underwear as well.
I run my hand along her belly and slowly insert my hand into her underwear.
Now that I’m touching it directly, I started stimulating it even more gently.
“Aah! Aa……ann!”
As expected of the spot I stimulated multiple times and not just today, her reaction switches into one that’s remarkably easy to understand when I stimulate the tip directly.
“Ah……nn……!”
She placed her hand on her mouth and started behaving like she was trying to endure the intensifying stimulation.
She’ll probably be more pleased if I did it a bit more roughly now that it’s come to this.
“Nn, kuh……co-……ming……!”
The Princess finishes again.
I continue teasing her as it is without letting her rest even if she finishes once this time around.
“Haaa……aann……! Comingg……! Ah, it feels, good……. I feel, very……ah, goodd, ahh! Comingg……! Haaa, nn!”
Like this, I managed to fully enjoy multiple times the Princess Alicia who quivers her body with her climax.
◇◆◇
“Haa……nn……”
Having finished the act, our bodies are still glued together.
We take the time to catch our breath.
“Why is Alicia-sama really going this far?”
“……geez, Hero-sama. Verifying my feelings over and over again……. Are you that uneasy about the matters from tomorrow onwards?”
“Who knows? I have never had a fight with someone with lives on the line before after all”
It does more or less feel like it’s somebody else’s business in some ways.
More importantly, the feeling of there being a cute girl before my eyes as well.
“I am the Hero-sama’s ally no matter what happens. Hence, please rely on me if there is anything painful, Hero-sama”
“Is that so”
Anything painful huhー. In that case, yeah.
“If that is the case, I want to see my family’s face. It has already been 10 days since I came here. I would like to at least inform them that I am alright”
, I thought, but.
“For that……my apologies. I cannot do anything about it. Thus, all I can do is provide support until Hero-sama defeats the Demon Lord”
“Is that so”
No, for the time being, you can just remove the skill’s lock for me.
“Hero-sama. Even if you cannot return to the former world right away, I am here by your side in the world on this side”
“……is that so”
Looks like Princess Alicia-sama will be by my side in my harsh Otherworld life.
A Hero and Princess’ romance. That is the orthodox route huh.
“Hero-sama……I love you”
“Me too, Alicia-sama”
The two of us lie perfectly in tune though. Are we the perfect couple?
Defeating the Demon Lord and a sad farewell awaiting when it comes time to return to the other world is what makes a Hero, so is the arrangement.
It’d be great if it wraps up with that!
◇◆◇
I send off the Princess and the Chivalric Order Captain to the Feudal Lord’s mansion and return to the inn after grasping the mansion’s location.
After that, I look at the monitoring screen of the two bandits.
Apparently, they’re at the same location.
“I located the inn of the kid on your side”
“Ou. This side too. Sure enough, it seems he’s of noble birth. Fucking behaving arrogantly at every single little thing. It seems he’s got plenty of money as welll”
Bandit Dazley and Zirky, they were talking while drinking at the corner of the town’s tavern.
Ou ou, bloody having a conversation with your true personalities.
“Looks like the black-haired kid’s companions are in the inn. Though, if we’re going to lay our hands on them, it looks like it’s better to gather a bit more people”
“Is that so?”
“Aah. Because the armoured man amongst his companions looks pretty capable”
“Hmm. Then, does it mean that fellow’s gonna turn up in the request to hunt us? I guess I’ll inform the Head”
“We made the arrangement to have a hunting competition with the young master. It’s probably better to keep an eye out beforehand on whether that armoured fellow comes to lend a hand to that kid”
If they’re cautious of the Chivalric Order Captain, I wonder if they’ll stop at seeing how things go tomorrow.
“It’ll be convenient if the armoured man doesn’t come. Let’s attack them right when they’re exhausted from Orc hunting and take everything valuable they’re carrying alongside the materials of the Orcs they defeated”
are Bandit Zirky’s words.
“Ou. We’ve gotta up the Head’s impression by making a killing!”
are Bandit Dazley’s words.
“But, ya knoww. Though armoured dude is a hindrance, that companion woman’s definitely a good woman. She’s wasted on such an indifferent kid. I wanna have her accompany us”
“Ou. Well, I get it thoughh. But she seems like she’ll be a bad match with Yuri-sama”
“Aah, totally”
“Well, bein’ a bad match means that how much she can enjoy it though”
“She likes tormenting women even though she’s a woman after all……Yuri-sama sure is worse than us huh! Haha!”
“Ou. It might be a good idea to catch her if we can lure her out using the kid as a decoy!”
After that, the two of them basically continued their drinking party with their plans coming up every now and then in their conversation.
……hmーm.
A bandit group, sure are the kind of people depicted in stories huh.
This is touching in its own way, but I get serious since their target is me.
By the way, since the woman they’re targetting is the Princess of this country, the Royal Chivalric Order isn’t going to keep quiet as well, you know!
Incidentally, my position is that Princess’ boyfriend, the Hero. I’m not going to keep quiet either!
And then, the next morning. I head to the rendezvous location and meet up with Henry.
“Good morning, Henry-san”
“Aah. You sure are pretty late. I thought maybe you got scared and weren’t coming”
“Am I late?”
I personally think that I left the inn relatively early though; it was no good huh.
I’ve arrived earlier than the rendezvous time though.
“Now then, regarding today’s arrangements. First, you’ll go out in front and pull the monsters close to you as far as possible and keep them away from me”
“Which means the vanguard huh. Understood”
‘Un un‘, I nod. He’s dressed like a Magician from the looks of it after all.
In contrast, I’m the Swordsman-type. It’s an understandable formation from the equipment.
……by the way, the bandit bunch is hiding and checking us out for some reason.
Are they confirming whether or not the Chivalric Order Captain is coming? If I greet them now, I wonder if they’ll be startled.
“If my safety is secured, I can finish the monsters off with magic. Play your part and be plenty useful to me”
“Hoo. Magic huh”
I wonder what magic there aree. I wanna quickly learn it as well.
“What? Can you not even use magic. Haa. I thought you were of noble birth as well from your outfit……in the end, you’re of commoner birth?”
“Eeh. I am a commoner. I have some connections with nobles, and the clothes and equipment I am currently wearing were spared by them”
“Tch! What, that’s how it is huh……”
He ended up clicking his tongue awfully loudly at me. As always, he’s an unpleasant person.
“The nobles you have connections with, where are they from? By the way, I’m the legitimate successor of House Darkus”
“Hoo. How magnificent”
What legitimate successor? You, you’ve been banished, haven’t you.
“I guess I can say they are quite a remarkable individual”
It’s the Princess after all.
“Humph! Well, obviously, nobles are all naturally going to be remarkable from a commoner’s shoes. I guess there’s no way a commoner will understand the status differences and whatnot between nobles huh……”
“Well, I guess I am unclear about the details”
“It can’t be helped. You probably can’t be useful to me if you’re ignorant of magic after all. I shall teach you. You can be grateful”
“Oo, I am thankful for that”
I haven’t yet gotten any ties with a magic lecturer after all.
Let’s gratefully listen to it, shall we.
◇◆◇
According to Mister Henry. It seems the magic of this world fundamentally refers to Elemental Magic.
The Chivalric Order Captain didn’t lie huh.
For Elemental Magic, Fire・Wind・Water・Earth are the basic Elements.
But there are other anomalies, like Holy Element and Healing Magic.
That’s great! There’s Healing Magic! This is quite a big deal.
Does the fact that there’s no way to resist 【Insta-kill Magic】 means there’s no Resurrection Magic?
You use the magic tool called 『Mana Sphere』 made with the Magic Stone as its base to learn magic.
You need an adjusted Magic Sphere for each Element every time you master one.
You can’t just poof and master all kinds of magic at one go with just one.
It’s just that it seems that there’s affinity depending on the person, and accordingly, there are Elements you can’t learn just because you used the Mana Sphere.
It seems completely talentless people can’t master magic itself no matter how much they struggle.
And accordingly, a lot(?) of those talentless people are commoners.
I want to doubt Henry’s prejudice, but it feels like I fit right in that 『talentless people』.
Whatever it is, I think it all comes after I acquire the Mana Sphere.
“Is that ‘Mana Sphere’ item expensive?”
“I’m right in the middle of talking, right. Shut up and listen”
“……sorry”
I wonder why his irritation point is steadily accumulating.
I’ve been told by the Princess-sama to retrieve the family heirloom shortsword from him and get House Darkus indebted to us.
That being said, we’re currently fellow newcomer Adventurers.
It’s our very first request, so I’d like for us to do our best together.
Well, there’s turmoil awaiting because of the bandit group though.
“Ooh, you’ve gathered early, haven’t ya”
“You’re late! How long do you intend to make me wait!”
“Hehe, don’t be yellin’ first thing in the morning, Nii-chan. Looks like yesterday’s black-haired Nii-chan came as well”
“Hi, good morning”
I casually greet Zirky.
As for Dazley, he smacks the yelling Henry’s shoulder and gets snapped at, going, 『don’t touch me』.
“Well, relax. The likes of Orcs are small fries even if there are plenty of them”
“Is that so”
He gives off a good-person vibe if he’s just talking thoughh, Bandit Dazley.
“Nii-chan, as I thought, did you end up separating with yesterday’s companions?”
“Yeah. At the very least, they will not turn up for this time’s request. They have another job after all”
At my reply, there’s vaguely a bigger smile on the bandits.
Uーwah. These guys, they’re all pumped up and ready to go.
“Then let’s have the competition until sunset. Bring in the subjugation proof’s parts to the Guild by sunset, and we’ll decide the winner and loser with the number we finish reporting with!”
“Aah! Let’s quickly get started then! Well, there’s no way I’ll lose though!”
Like this, our monster hunting competition started.
◇◆◇
“Henry-san, there is something I would like to bring to your attention”
“What”
I waited for the chance when the distance with the bandits opened up through the monitoring function and spoke to Henry.
“Actually. The two of them who are our opponents today. They are not Adventurers. They are the bandit group’s crew based around this area”
“Haa……?”
Henry makes a 『What are you saying all of a sudden?』 expression.
“Actually, the one who bestowed me my equipment was……the Second Princess of this country, Alicia-sama. I am an individual here to investigate and subjugate the bandit group in this area, by the Princess-sama’s special order. Hence, will you please cooperate with me here? Not just for monsters, but they are aiming for our lives as well. This competition does not hold up right from the start”
“You, are under the Princess’ order……to subjugate the bandit group?”
“Yes. Alicia-sama has actually also come to this town. I was thinking it would be great if you could meet her”
I decided to nod at Henry and tell him the truth honestly.
It’s good to talk about these kinds of things sincerely.
“Like there’s any way that’s true!”
“Yes?”
Huh? I didn’t lie just now, did I.
“Even this here me has never had an audience with someone like the Princess before! Even this here me! It won’t be strange for the Princess to come and meet me right away if she’s in this area, right!? And yet she gives a commoner like you a special order!? Are you planning to spew some ridiculous lie and run away from the competition!”
“No, it is not a lie though……”
No matter what, isn’t he making up his mind too quickly without hearing what I have to say?
“I don’t want to hear your stupid lies! This competition will be my spectacular debut as an Adventurer. Do it seriously!”
“If it is a spectacular debut, I think a bandit group subjugation is more spectacular. Please, how about it? Will you not launch a surprise attack on them with me?”
After all, it’s the start of the Hero’s legend produced by the Princess-sama.
Now then, here’s the chance for you to participate in the legend as well!
How would you like to try becoming the Hero’s first companion!?
“Oi. I said I don’t want to hear your stupid lies. You just have to shut up and be a decoy!”
“No, like I said,”
“Shut up! Even the well-natured me, will get angry at any further nonsense!”
How the hell are you well-natured. Aren’t you completely pissed.
Huhー……. He totally, won’t listen to what I have to say!
Also, did he just say decoy?
Doesn’t the word ‘decoy’ have a slightly different nuance with vanguard?
……I think back on his profile that I saw with my skill.
Was it bad that I ended up honestly claiming to be a commoner?
Ah, then I just have to not be a commoner?
“Henry-san. Actually, I am no commoner. I am the Hero of another world who was summoned to this country”
Boom! Just kidding.
“Haa!? How stupid! Enough! You shut up already! I can’t forgive that man, who made a horrible fool out of me. I accepted this competition for the sake of that. At least don’t get in my way!”
There’s no use talking to him.
I wonder what made him that angry.
How in the world did Zirky provoke him?
He’s too bipolar that I’m more confused than irritated.
“Oi, it’s here! Don’t daydream!”
I directed my eyes towards the inside of the forest at his words.
It’s an Orc……not, it’s a wolf with a horn!
I mean, of course monsters other than the subjugation target are gonna show up as well huh!
“GURURURUuu……”
I draw my sword and ready up.
The Hero ended up being taken by surprise!
The encounter with monsters sure is quick this time aroundd! Was it a dangerous forest!?
“GUARUuuUU!!”
“It’s here! Hurry up and be my shield!”
‘Be my shield’! Phrasing!
In any case, I stand at the forefront and risk myself in front of the wolf.
It’s the half-body style, where I bring the left half of my body away from the opponent I’m confronting so that my heart doesn’t get targeted.
I then stay mindful of catching its attack and move my body!
“GUAaRUuu!!”
Don’t get so strangely agitated, you wolf! How scary!
However, since it charged at me with rather simplistic movements, it’s within the scope that even I can handle!
I catch the wolf’s lunge with my sword, and then I activate 【Absolute Counter】!
I converted the attack I received into Fighting Spirit and carried on to thrust back at the opponent.
“Gaah!”
“Die! Fire Ball!”
Wai-! Don’t shoot a ball of fire in the forest! Not even Princess Alicia does something like that, you know!
The ball of fire directly hits the horned wolf that flinched from its battle with me and burns it to death.
“Oo……”
It’s my first time seeing someone defeat a monster with magic.
By the way, the ball of fire just now, it was pretty close to hitting me though?
Did he intend to incinerate me along with it?
“Humph! You, you said you’re the Hero, right?”
“Eh? Eeh”
You listened to me huh, Henry-san!
This is the premonition of his affectionate phase!
“Like hell you’re the Hero with those kinda capabilities! If you’re the Hero, how about you show me you burning down the monsters along with this forest? Besides, something like ‘let’s do the bandit subjugation together’. Something like that is a breeze by yourself if you’re the Hero, right, you liar!”
“Uguu……”
Do-, don’t hit my sore spott…….!
It’s true that the current me doesn’t have the capabilities to puff my chest out and say I’m the Hero.
While I still have neither the accomplishments nor the matching ability, I shouldn’t have used the Hero’s name in the discussion huh!
“Listen up! You just have to move according to my instruction! If you do that, even the liar you can probably be of use!”
“Haa”
He, sure has a horrible personalityy. Well, whatever.
I look at the monitoring window of the bandit group’s two.
Huh? They’re, hunting Orc normally?
Isn’t their plan to surprise attack the us who got exhausted from monster hunting.
I didn’t have time to be slowly looking at such an image.
“GUoOoOo──!”
An Orc appeared over here as well! This place, is it a forest with a high monster spawn rate!
◇◆◇
New monsters came attacking after moving for a bit after that as well.
Isn’t this forest kinda bad? The encounter rate for monsters is absurdly high.
“Henry-san, let’s temporarily retrea-……”
“Dieee! Fire Ball!!”
Hurling Fire Magic again!? Furthermore, I’m on the trajectory again!
Oi! Don’t fuck with me, you know!?
I drop down and dodge that flame somehow!
I actually got into a laying-down state. Furthermore, the monster is still there!
I moved away from the monster while rolling on the ground and desperately stood up.
“That just now was totally on the course of hitting me, right! Oi!”
“If I can defeat even one monster with that, it means you were useful, right”
“Haa!?”
What’s with this guy? As expected, isn’t he messed up in the head?
Even I’m starting to get annoyed, you know.
That’s right. I’ve acquired permission from the Princess-sama.
In that case, it’s probably fine. That’s why.
──【I’ll fucking kill him】…….
such intense anger towards Henry to the extent of being ‘unnatural’ welled up.
However.
“uu!?”
That intense anger dissipated in an instant……what?
A black mist-like thing enshrouds my vicinity.
‘Eh, what, is this? Does Henry know about it?’, I looked at Henry.
……I ended up looking at him.
In that instant, the black mist wafting around me heads towards Henry and launches its attack on him!
“What!?”
Henry can also see it……not!?
He, received the black mist’s direct attack as it is.
“Oi, Henry! Are you alright!?”
What’s that just now!?
I……reflected some kind of 『attack』 through 【Absolute Counter】?
It was a similar sensation as when I released a counterattack. Why?
However, I didn’t have the leeway to be thinking about it like that.
“GAaAAAAA!!”
“Eeh!?”
Henry roars and comes attacking at me!
“Die! Fire Ball! Fire Ball!”
“Wha-!?”
Why is he attacking me!? Behind me, a monster is……not coming!?
With my sword……I repel his magic!
I divert the Fire Ball that came flying over at me with my sword while desperately dodging!
The forest being on fire or whatnot, is something I don’t have the leeway to be concerned about, you know!?
“Oi, what are you fucking doing! The hell is going on!”
“Dieee……!”
Henry is somewhat strange!?
He’s in confusion no matter how you look at it!
Is it because of the black mist just now!?
“oOOOOOOOO!!”
“Wai-……”
And just when I thought maybe he’ll continue to shoot magic, Henry unexpectedly drew his shortsword and charged at me!
“Die! Dieee!”
“What, whatt, scary!”
──it was bloodlust.
There’s unmistakable bloodlust in him. Furthermore, bloodlust that was directed at me.
Why!? Leaving the bandit group aside, something is possessing him!
“GAaAAA!!”
“Kuh!”
I try to swing my sword at once, but
“Fire Ball!”
“Hott!”
The Fire Ball hits my right hand that was holding the sword, and I end up dropping my sword.
Hot, ouchh……guh, I’ll activate Counter……it’s no use, I don’t have the leeway to land it!
“Uwah!?”
Henry goes on further to hang over me and then brandishes his shortsword.
Wait, that’s, as expected, I’ll di──
“Diee!”
“Uu……!”
I brought my left hand, which I could still move, in front of the shortsword and my face at once.
“……tsuUu!!”
Ouch! Ouch ouch! I got stabbed!
The berserk Henry mounted me and stabbed my left hand further.
My thought process is encroached by the intense pain.
Shit, the Transportation Technique, it’s no use, I don’t have the leeway to do the designations!
“Guu! Co-, Coun-, terr!”
I felt power gathering in my stabbed arm.
The something that accumulated inside of me ejects the shortsword, removing it!
But, it’s a half-baked state.
The shortsword was removed from my hand, but Henry still held onto the handle.
I’m unable to move away the Henry who mounted me!
“aAAAh! Diee, diee!”
“Guh, ah!”
This is bad. This is bad, right.
If I get continuously stabbed until Counter reaches its limit, or if I get stabbed in my heart……!
At this rate, I’ll die……death…….
“……oOOOOOH!”
I struggled, trying to shove him away one way or another.
He’s strong. He might be clad in Fighting Spirit or something.
In that case, to move him away, there’s no choice but to land 【Absolute Counter 】!
“Diee!!”
“Don’t fuck with mee! You’re……the one to dieeee!”
I deliberately receive his shortsword with my left hand, once more!
And then, I move 【Absolute Counter】’s Fighting Spirit to my right hand that has the scathing sensation remaining!
The intense pain of having my arm stabbed and perforated.
For the sake of shoving away the body that’s hanging over me……I drove that into the vicinity of Henry’s chest.
“──【Absolute Counter】!”
Skill No. 2’s activation.
It landed on him beautifully this time around, and then Henry’s body was blown away.
“Haa……!”
I roll on the ground and escape from that spot.
I then stood up for dear life.
“Oi! What’s with that! Don’t fuck with me!”
I yelled that at the collapsed Henry.
“…………”
However, perhaps he lost consciousness, he was lying face-up and was no longer moving.
Shit, what’s the matter, with this fellow.
It’s obviously strange. It’s not normal.
It’s not at the level of having a horrible personality or whatnot. It’s a sudden bloodlust.
──crackk.
……that’s right, over there, something.
A rigid sound was audible from the Henry who shouldn’t be moving.
It was the sound of something cracking.
“……?”
What is it? What exactly, is going on…….
I was on the brink of death. I felt unmistakable bloodlust, even more so than in the battles with monsters.
It was plain scary…….
“……oi, Henry?”
I don’t get what’s going on. What exactly, happened?
I pick up the sword I ended up dropping and cautiously move closer to Henry.
He’d been holding a stave, but he dropped it now. Just in case, I kick it far away.
It may be different from a gun, but I suppose a weapon is a weapon.
And then the shortsword that he tried to kill me with has also been dropped.
……it was a shortsword with ornaments firmly attached to it.
“Is that the aforementioned family heirloom shortsword?”
I kick this shortsword to the back as well, just in case.
I move closer to the collapsed Henry…….
“……Henry?”
He was bleeding from his body, right around his heart.
I ended up seeing blood dripping from his mouth as well.
His eyes remained open, staring at god-knows-where.
“……don’t tell me”
I approach all the way beside the unmoving him and take his arm.
……there’s no pulse. He’s haemorrhaging from the vicinity of his heart as well.
Henry has died.
──on that day, I committed murder for the first time.
