Chapter 70

TN: I’ll use a new quotation mark (from “ xx ” to 「 xx 」), start from this chapter and forward. Because I think「 」looks better.

The knight Kiriha continues to make strange poses with a smug look on her face. To be honest, it’s a little annoying. I’m annoyed.

As a person who wants to avoid any trouble with knights, I’d like to get through this situation peacefully somehow.

Hmm?

As I was turning my head, a small shadow jumped out from behind me.

Her long, wavy hair was as vivid as fresh green. It was Yggdrasil, her small body walking *tetote* forward.

What is she doing?

Yggdrasil ran up to Kiriha and stopped in front of her.

「 S-Sis, sis… 」

「 Mm~m? What is… it～～～～―――?! 」

Yggdrasil approached the girl knight and looked up at her from below with teary eyes.

She even held her small hands in front of her chest in a pose.

Kiriha’s eyes widened and her cheeks turned rosy as Yggdrasil made such a girlish gesture.

「 Wha, wha?! Cu, cu, CUUTEEEEE! *Buhaa!* 」

What?!

Th-That girl blew her nose!

I was wondering if she was into that kind of thing.

Yuri? Is it a Yuri?! ¹

「 Meow, meowstructive… too cute…! 」

She held her bleeding nose with her hand… Wait, she can’t stop it from dribbling down her throat!

A puddle of blood was forming on the cobblestone pathway.

If not careful, after this, that place will look like a slaughterhouse…

But the person with the nosebleed had a happy expression on her face.

In addition, the silvery-white armor was also stained with blood…

「 A-Are we going to be, umm, caught, by the guards? Are we going to be taken to a scary place?! 」

「 Eh?! Th-That’s, umm… kind of, i-it’s a, rule… 」

「 No… we were approached by scary uncles and told that they would do scary things to us if we didn’t listen to them… so we resisted… 」

Yggdrasil looked dejected. There was a faint glimmer of light in her eyes.

At Yggdrasil’s sad expression, Kiriha flustered and flinched.

I could see that her earlier triumphant expression had vanished as if it were a lie, and she was in a panic.

「 ……S-So cunning. 」

「 I told you.. she is evil from the bottom of her heart… She could easily pull off an act like that. 」

Demiurge let out a sigh as she mouthed the word「 disgusting. 」

Kiriha is brilliantly played by Yggdrasil’s charade.

「 Hics… w-we… didn’t do, anything wrong… uuu… 」

「 Aaah! I’ve made a lovely girl cry… and I’m a knight… w-w-w-why… awa… awawawa!! 」

People on the street were looking at Yggdrasil and Kiriha, wondering what was going on.

From the side, it might look like Kiriha was torturing Yggdrasil.

No way, is this another calculated move?

Then the spirit in the form of a young girl raises the corners of her mouth in a small smile, as if to say, 「 I got you. 」

Of course, she covered her mouth with her hand so that Kiriha could not see it, but Demiurge, who was watching from the side, had an expression that was a mixture of amazement and disgust at the way her nasty personality was leaking out.

And then, to Kiriha’s dismay, Yggdrasil said something outrageous with her small mouth.

「 W-We’ve been told things we don’t understand by our uncles, like… (*beeeep*), (*nya nya nya!*) t-then, suddenly… they grabbed our arms and tried to take us away… that’s why… that’s why… 」

「 Nuh-uh! Th-Those rascals, how obscene to such a small child! 」

「 S-Sister, do you know what the word means? I didn’t know what it meant. 」

「 You don’t need to know the meaning of these words! 」

Uwaa~, that lewd remark in the form of a little girl is not good… What can I say, it smells like a crime.

In the first place, those ruffians were foul-mouthed in many ways, but they didn’t utter obscene words as Yggdrasil did.

Well, maybe they didn’t say it, but they might have been thinking about doing it.

Kiriha’s face and neck were bright red, and steam was rising from her head.

「 Th-Those pricks… How dare they frighten such a naive girl and then make her listen to their dirty words! This is something that needs to be thoroughly investigated and educated! 」

「 S-Sis… I, I don’t want to go to a place with scary uncles~ 」

「 I understand. Scaring a pretty girl is no good for a knight. Let’s let it all slide this time. 」

What the…?!

She flipped her hand so easily.

Where’s that smug look you had on your face just now?

And don’t look so cool with your nose bleeding!

It’s not cool!

「 The bad guys are all those fucking… thugs. You are all one-sided victims. The reason why the bad guys were beaten up from the start is because they were probably rampaging somewhere else. We need to made up some more evidence and pursue… 」

Now you said「 made up 」, you knight.

「 Then, sister, is it okay if we go home? 」

「 No problem. If you want, I can give you a ride home… Yes, of course! I’d love to give you a ride home!　Haha, haha… don’t worry, I won’t do anything. I’ll just send you home. I’m not going to do anything weird. Don’t worry, I don’t find the mob guy behind to be a bit distracting! 」

Kiriha’s eyes are bleeding and she’s breathing hard and saying she’s going to send her home, but that’s the kind of thing you should never trust.

It’s the kind of thing that will eat you alive the moment you believe it.

Also, who’s the mob guy? Me?

I see I see. You’re picking a fight with me, aren’t you? Go~od, come to the back of the building and I’ll buy it for you.

「 Sis, I don’t want it, it’s disgus~ting! 」

「 Gahhh! I got abuse from a little girl… pleasure… and the women behind me are staring at me like I’m trash! 」

The girl knight writhing, her body squirming and her cheeks flushed.

I look at Titan standing next to me and then back at Kiriha.

The two of them seem to have something in common.

I dare not say what.

The moment I understand and go into it, I feel like I’ve lost something.

Titan blurted out.

「 That girl is a jerk. She’s so creepy. 」

「 ………… 」

You don’t saaaaaay!

You’re just as bad as that thing! You’re always writhing like that when you’re being spanked or lectured, aren’t you?! It’s a boomerang, you know?!

「 You really can’t see yourself, can you…? 」

「 Mu? What’s the matter, husband? 」

「 Hmm? What’s the matter, master? Did that woman give you the creeps? Even if it’s me, I know it’s not true. 」

「 Yeah, yeah. You might want to take a look at yourself in the mirror first. 」

「 Huh? 」

Don’t tilt your head there.

「 Then, bye-bye~ 」

Yggdrasil came back.

Kiriha is still writhing in her arms.

Yeah. It’s not a Titan, but it’s the most disgusting thing ever.

But,

「 Ciel, you…… 」

「 Hm~mm? What’s up, o-ni-i-ch-a-n? 」

「 You’re so cunning. 」

「 Tehee♪ 」

You’ve got a wonderful personality, you know that?

「 Oh, well. Then, let’s get the last of our shopping done before it gets dark. 」

Fortunately, or perhaps not so, we could see the store we were looking for right here where we had fled.

I did some shopping there, and that was the end of my shopping at Cid’s for the day.

「 I’m tired today. Let’s hurry up and go back to rest. 」

「 Umu. 」

「 Ye~s. 」

「 Yes. 」

After receiving everyone’s replies, we headed for the store.

On the way, Demiurge grabbed me by the sleeve.

「 Husband, I’m glad you were so angry with me earlier… Tonight, I will serve you to the fullest… pretty, beautiful, and the best woman I know… fufufu… 」

Demiurge gazed at me with a bewitchingly beautiful smile on her face.

Her eyes were sweet and debauched, with a hint of teasing in them.

At the invitation of my wife to spend the night with her, I forgot about the events of the day, and my heart naturally raced with anticipation.
