147 6-27 Hot spring town Utopora Ma-kun

Wherever he was lurking, the guide immediately appeared beside me and got into a fighting stance.

As expected of an escort. You do a decent job, don't you?

''........do you want to f*ck?''

No, we're not done.

Well I'd like to take the lead if I could.

It's true, I get nervous when I'm dealing with a 'drifter' with cheat abilities.

The seriousness is added to the guide's face, unlike any other time.

'Well, I'll make sure that doesn't happen.

I understand. But if it's too dangerous, you're free to leave immediately.

You'll be with your guide when it happens.

There's no reason to leave them in the middle of nowhere.

I don't think they're going to harm the masters based on their content, so if it looks like they're in danger, I'll take the guide and Wendy and transition them.

They paused as the two girls stood up from their fallen state, followed by the guy, who pointed at me again.

'We've got him, Chee.'

'Don't point at people. Didn't you learn that?

Now, let's start by taking control of your opponent.

You bend the other person's back on the subject with something plausible and change the flow from their pace to yours.

''Right. Ma-kun?　You're being rude to someone you've never met.

Whose side are you on, Misa?

The right one, of course. What?　Are you doing it because you think you're doing it right, Ma-kun?

'No I'm sorry about that.

After turning to me properly, Ma-kun bows his head.

It was an unexpected support, but what the heck. It's surprisingly easy to understand, isn't it?

I think we can have a proper conversation now.

I'm sure you understand me, but can't you introduce yourself?

Did he introduce himself?

Nice to meet you. My name is Misa Suzuki.

I'm, um, Mika Suzuki. I'm 17 years old, just one year older than my sister.

You guys...

Putting aside the teary-eyed Ma-kun, who can't control his own pace, Suzuki... could it be that the two of them are also 'drifters'...?

Furthermore, 17, 8....wasn't she an active JK?

Huh ... it's nice to be young.

Yeah, nice to meet you. So, how's it going over there?

"Uh-huh. I'll tell you what...

Ma-kun?

This is Noma Makoto.

Hmm. The power relationship is completely with your sister.

So, uh, the goal was to compete with me because I'm a cheat and don't allow a slave harem, right?

Um, why?

Yes, sir. Thank you. Now, back to the point, Ma-kun wants to compete with me.

'Yes!　Play me fair and square, and if I win, free the slaves!

'Hmm ... and do you know how slaves in general are treated in this world?'

Yeah, I'm aware of that. But you've got plenty of slaves!

Well, yes.

Wendy and White are the slaves I bought, but the three of them were bought, or something like that....

No, well, I decided to buy them, so I bought them all.

''Yes, but.......is there anything that says you can't just collect girls?''

Such an unreasonable relationship is ethically ruined--

'Master!　I heard a terrible noise, but are you okay!

When Wendy, who was calling to interrupt True's words, carefully touched my body and checked me out, she looked at me and confirmed that I was safe, and then let out a big sigh of relief.

''Good ... that's a relief.''

Tightly, Wendy puts her hands around my waist and hugs me gently and lightly.

It's close enough to touch, and a slightly sweet smell from Wendy tickles my nostrils.

'Yeah, it's okay,'

Popping his head lightly, he reassured Wendy and turned to truly face her.

''........Hey True. The thing forced you?

'Goooooooooooooooo.... You don't know. It could be brainwashing!

Do you think so...?　There's no sign of dark magic, okay?

Nuh-uh-uh...

Something about it seems to make True's eyes moisten as he looks at it.

'Well, as you can see.

'Master?　Those people are........enemies?　Master please step back!

I told you to calm down...

Wendy stepped forward to protect me.

Oh, am I that unreliable?

I can't use Wendy as a shield or anything like that, so I switch places with my waist and Wendy lets out a cute, "Hyang" sound.

Sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for holding your waist all of a sudden, so please don't glare at me with such a cute face.

''........I mean, I still think it's not what the rumors say. The girls around me weren't slaves according to the rumors.......and even now they don't even wear armor....... And age. Weren't they about the same age as us?

"Rumors have consequences, don't they?　And the aura I can feel from him is heroic. There's no doubt about it.

Do you have an aura, Ma-kun?

Yes.

You're lying.

He was just trying to be nice.

But still, there's only one person I can think of who has girls who aren't slaves, who are their age and who are heroic...?

Hmm....could this be Hayato's case?

Master?

Oh, no, it's nothing.

All right, let's check it out.

Oh, wait a minute. Easy now. You're quick.

Let's see. You got a minute?

What!

Uh ... well, you know. I thought I'd introduce myself.

'I know!　You're a hero, Hayato!　You, you're the reason I'm not being called a hero!

...What?

Yeah, I knew I was mistaken for Hayato.

That's fine, but what do you mean by not being called a hero because of Hayato?

'Sorry. I don't know what that means.

All right, I'll tell you. .........that was the day we finally stepped through the dungeon....... Back in town, the mood was festive. When I asked them about it, they said it was a celebration for the dungeon, so I thought they were talking about us...

It was Hayato...

'Yes!　And of dungeons higher than the ones we've completed!

''We defeated other demon tribes that were doing bad things, but the town is in a hail Hayato mood for defeating one of the demon kings... I've been fighting hard, we've been fighting hard too, but no one has acknowledged us!

Uh ... uh ... How do you feel about...

I can't find a voice to call out to anyone other than Donmai.

I wonder. Is she a pity boy?　No luck?

"You'll never be good at this!　You!　You did this to me!　So, I'm going to challenge you to a fair and square match and prove that I'm stronger than Hayato the Hero!　And I will be the real hero!　And I have a harem of ... well, nothing.

As a fellow drifter, or rather because we are both drifters, we want to make a clear distinction between superior and inferior.

The fact that you want to become a hero is also greedy, but I can sympathize with that.

I don't want to become a hero, but if I'm not as easy to understand as Hayato, it's much easier to understand than being told to help people for free.

''So please! We don't want to kill each other! Either one of us is overwhelmed, or we'll decide the winner once we've decided that we're incapable of fighting, so you'll have to play me!

Oh, I mean, if we have to fight, but don't worry, I'll put my skills to work on you right away.

Can your sister use her skills to recover?

And if she's quite confident, does that mean she can use high-level recovery magic?

I'm sure you'll be able to tell me about my unique skills first. It's not going to change even if you talk about it anyway.

Oh come on. That's pretty important information, right?

When I met Hayato, he told me that it was dangerous for him to let the other party know about my unique skills.

It's true that knowing this guy's unique skills might be useful in case of an emergency, but.......

I don't mind. My unique skill is 'Impregnable (Royal Guard)'. It reduces physical and magical damage by 95%. And I can prevent any kind of conditional damage as a party unit.

...strong!

I thought for a moment that it might be too simple and obvious and subtle, but after thinking about it, it's certainly a unique skill-like strength.

An attack that reduces 100 HP to 5, right?

One twentieth of a percent.

Surely you have the skills to challenge Hayato?

Then, so am I. My skill is the 'Mastery of Magic (Warlock)'. You can use all the offensive magic except for light and spatial magic. You can even combine magic with other magic.

''Then my skill is 'Miracle of the Healing Princess (Arc Bishop)'. You can use all of the healing spells. Also, I can use resurrection magic on certain conditions.

Two of you are wizards.

One tank, one wizard, and one healer.

The opposite of our house, I imagine we don't seem to have enough physical vanguard, but it's like we're going to focus on the tank's true enemy attacks and use magic to destroy them while he's holding on.

True, the fact that you don't need defensive skills, and the skills you extend with leveling up can probably be used mostly for physical attacks, so it's a pretty good party in terms of balance, isn't it?

But it's very distressing to have you tell me.........

'No.........?　I'm sorry to be so excited about this, but...

'What!　There's still something in there!

It's, uh...　I'm not Hayato, but...

...What?

I looked at her as if she were a complete idiot.

Mika, who is behind her, has a look on her face like I knew she was going to be, and the girl called Misa sister has gushed.

''No way...''

See? I knew I had the wrong guy.

'Uh-huh, Ma-kun?　I'm sorry and let's go home?

True is looking down and getting pouty........

Don't worry. You can go home now. Just go back to the forest.

Rui......

Hmm?

"Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky!　Why are you building such a harem or something like that when you're not a hero!　I want a harem too!　I want to live a carnal life with a pretty girl!　And yet I've been reincarnated with my childhood friend!　That's why you can't make a harem!

Well that's just the beginning of the spoiling process.

That's great. You're not cute. You're not very pretty.

"Ohhhhhh, I want to f*ck you!　I want to get rid of my virginity!　I want to get rid of my virginity with my beautiful sister leading the way... oh my God!

Yeah. I don't hate you.

You're good. You're obedient to your desires.

But I think it's time to look around a bit more.

Especially my childhood friend's face.

"Hee....hee....that's not fair....and neither am I...

'Uh ... that one?　I thought if I became a hero, I could build a harem, so I wanted to be a hero...

Yeah, that's right ... a hero can be hugely popular!　Even if you can't make a harem, you're still a winner!

But, look, you have two beautiful childhood friends, right?

They've been together since they were little... they're more like a family than a girl...

Oh, their faces momentarily tightened.

Scary!　I saw a black aura!

That's him. He's the insensitive guy.

He's an insensitive guy who doesn't yet know what these two are to him!

If it turns out to be so, it's a rough treatment, but I'm going to mess with you with my adult opinion of a key point in the story.

I'm sure you're not the only one.　Are you sure?　For example, if these kids get a good man or something, they're going to leave your side, okay?

They...?　No way.....

They had a face like that........but when Makoto looked back, the two of them had an indescribable expression on their faces.

Seeing that, a sense of crisis arose, perhaps, and Shin's face changed to an impatient expression.

''No way.......no way!

Mm-hm.

This will make them both aware of each other.

Then I'm sure Shin will be in love with one or both of them, and it will have a happy ending.

Congratulations!

Well, I think we did something good.

"You didn't mean it!　You're going to mess with both of us!

.........

......

Hey, how can that be!

That's why insensitive people are such a pain in the ass!

'You're right!　We talked about what would happen if I won, but we didn't talk about what would happen if you won!　If you win I won't let you two become slaves I won't let you do that!

No, I don't...

The five people we have now are enough for me, and now I'm not going to add two more people, and I'm not going to add someone else who already likes me....

And I don't like NTRs.

I don't like to do it and I don't like being subjected to it.

'Yeah, you don't?'

I'm not!

I'm starting to get a little annoyed. You're being a jerk.

What do you think I am?

"Are you sure?　My Mika is an excellent cook, and she delivers to my house next door every day, which is pretty good, right?　And Misa's sister is so erotic looking!　I'm taking a bath and you're coming in by mistake as if you've taken a shot at me!

Every day?　The house next door?　A bath?

Hey, can I ask you something?

What?

Maybe, maybe not, but...

No, no, no. You're not kidding. No way. Ha-ha-ha. It can't be true.

"Your parents were out of town for some reason, so I asked your sister who lives next door to me to take care of you, and after all that, you had a room free, so I stayed at your house!　It's all good, right?

"...how do you know this?　Yeah, that's right. A meteorite seems to have fallen there........ Two people were killed because of me........so I will protect them this time!

Seriously..........

Seriously...........

Ah..........seriously.........

Seriously, this guy is serious.

Definitely tempe ee ee eeet!

Okay, I don't need sympathy for this guy.

What's with the harem envy, you f*cking luxury bastard!

I'll kill you.

Huh...........

Oh, yeah. I'm ready. It's always good to go.

"Haaaaaaahhhhhhh, okay. I'll be right with you then.

Hmm?　What is it?

No, it's nothing.

I'm telling you.

Whew. Cool down, cool down.

Cool cool down. Cool down.

Well yeah. I'm not Hayato, but you've just taught me a unique skill. It has elements that I want to kill for some reason, but it seems that I don't dislike you. So I'll take the challenge. And while you're at it, I'm going to show you my skills as well.

Wha...?

'I'm a summoner. Now I'm going to give you the trump card I have...

Well, that's a lie.

Can we go?　My strongest trump card (card).

But I have to go over there once, though.

I take out the magic recovery potion (large) and while stirring, I point far behind the three of them and even more towards the sky.

'Watch out behind you, you three?　They'll be here soon?

At the same time as the three of them turned around, I jumped to Hayato's coordinates by specifying spatial coordinates (area pointing) and coordinate transfer (point gates).

And as soon as I grabbed Hayato's hand, I returned to the original coordinates by shifting, and the three of them were just about to turn around to face me.

I was too lazy to stand up due to lack of magic power, but standing in front of me was a knight dressed in pure white armor and ready to go.

I saw him one day, the way he looked when he rescued me.

''It's nice to meet you. My name is Hayato. I'm Itzuki-san's trump card.

And Letty, Mi, and Emily, who were preparing for battle with Hayato in the lead, and Chris, who came to care for me as I sat down.

And for some reason, even Freed had come over here with me.

''I'll take care of you from here.

I can feel a tremendous pressure from Hayato, who has his sword at the ready.
