Chapter 331: The womanizer does not want to be involved in the plot
(Perspective Nonko Arahabaki ) (Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san)
In the age of the gods, the goddess Amaterasu-sama fought against the forces of humanity to protect the non-human races, unfortunately, the humans won the war.
That is the story I heard hundreds of times during my childhood.
For as long as I can remember, I have always heard about the horrors caused by humans. The war escalated to such a point that one of the strongest gods had to swear an oath of surrender to the humans, then took several of the strongest youkai to a secret place and sealed them all with his own soul, thus, the rest of the youkai were allowed to live in the new country called Japan.
In my childhood and much of my youth, I hated humans and I trained to kill them. I became a monster hunter to gain strength and managed to become the strongest hunter in my clan.
During a hunting mission, I was betrayed and ambushed by my clan. I was on the verge of death and only survived by sheer luck.
Somehow, I came to Yuragi Inn and got to know a new world from then on.
This place is neutral territory, no organization or clan influence is allowed, so I was able to experience a peaceful life.
Here I learned to value a simple and calm life, I also entered human society and that's how I met my greatest love, Japanese manga and anime.
At first, I only liked to read manga and watch anime. Slowly, this taste for animated fiction became a true passion, so I worked hard to learn how to draw.
With constant effort and a lot of dedication, I managed to become a professional mangaka, thus, I found true happiness.
I no longer cared about the conflicts between youkai and humans, I no longer wanted to participate in power struggles to inherit a clan, I didn't care about being strong anymore, I just wanted to enjoy my life as a mangaka, although I also knew the happiness that alcohol brings.
Although I no longer wanted to get involved in conflicts and fights, I did maintain some contacts in case something happened that could threaten my peaceful life.
I recently heard news that caught my attention.
Recently, a new hero appeared with the power of other worlds.
Isekai heroes, as I like to call them, are somewhat rare, but they're not too important either. The rules that govern human society prevent heroes from acting as they want, so the appearance of a hero should not change the world.
That was the general rule, but the new hero changed common sense in less than a year.
The Ichijo Family has long been famous for being one of our world's foremost defenders against foreign invaders, but that power comes from teamwork. Since the death of that family's founder, the Ichijo Family had not had a warrior who could influence the entire world.
Stories about the Hero of Harmony spread around the world, each new feat seeming exaggerated and unrealistic, but the evidence backed up the facts. The Hero of Harmony was too strong.
Most importantly, the Hero of Harmony fought to protect all races, he showed no discrimination towards non-human beings, and even seems to favor other races.
Unfortunately, being outstanding breeds jealous and selfish enemies, something I understand from experience.
All sorts of nasty rumors have started circulating about the Hero of Harmony.
Although many rumors are absurd and can be judged as smear attempts, there are other rumors that cannot be ignored.
The Hero of Harmony is a womanizing pervert who puts his hands on any beautiful woman he sees. He doesn't care if she is a married woman with children, nor does he care if she is a little girl, the Hero of Harmony covets all attractive women.
Nobody is perfect and every person has flaws. It didn't seem impossible that the Hero of Harmony was a womanizer and I didn't care either, after all, I don't intend to interact with him.
Well, that was my initial idea, but life is unpredictable.
Three days ago, the Hero of Harmony came to Yuragi Inn to stay.
I was surprised that he was younger and smaller than I imagined.
From his achievements, I thought he would be a warrior of steel, with large, battle-scarred muscles and an authoritarian temperament.
What I saw was a thin, tired boy, too tired.
He is almost my height, his body has marked muscles without being bulky, and he only has three scars, but they are very striking.
Although he is handsome, he is not exaggeratedly handsome. I have seen hundreds of men much more attractive than him, I have also met warriors much more imposing.
What I saw was not the hero who saved the world, I could only see a child tired of life.
At first, I was suspicious of the Hero's intentions since wolves in sheep's clothing are the most dangerous, but in a short time, I was able to understand that boy better. He was hurt and very tired.
The boy speaks very little and only gives short but clear answers when asked a question.
He spends most of his time immersed in the hot springs and only comes out to eat, he even sleeps in the hot springs, although I heard that he doesn't sleep.
In the short time we've known each other, I realized that my expectations about the Hero of Harmony were wrong.
Certainly, he is a strong man, my instincts tell me that he could destroy me very easily, but at no time have I felt the slightest danger, quite the contrary, his presence gives me an unusual sense of security.
Luis-kun is a bit interesting.
Out of curiosity, I tried to talk to him, but the conversation got a little weird.
Luis-kun spends day and night in the hot spring, so I went inside to talk to him, after all, the hot spring is mixed.
Luis-kun was accompanied by three women and a little girl who are always by his side.
I've met cocky womanizers and narcissistic guys, so I can assure that Luis-kun is not like them. The women around him clearly love him romantically, but they don't seem to be at his side to quench his lust, but rather to care for him in his moment of weakness.
Luis-kun is a mature and calm boy. He didn't show an anime reaction when he saw me enter the hot spring naked, he just sighed.
I know that my appearance is attractive, but I have no interest in physical or emotional relationships, so I didn't mind that he looked at my body, although my pride was a little hurt to see his indifference.
I started to ask some questions, but after a few minutes he asked me to leave him alone, he even offered me excellent quality liquor as long as he let him rest.
Luis-kun explained to me that he doesn't see me as a bother, it's just that he's too tired and it's tiring to look at my attractive body when he doesn't want any relationship, he just wants to rest.
I finally understood that Luis is not apathetic toward my appearance, he is just too tired.
It's unfortunate that a boy his age seems so overwhelmed by stress and mental exhaustion, he should be enjoying his youth.
I left Luis-kun alone and went to my room to enjoy the liquor. I must say, it has been the best drink I have tasted in my entire life...
I didn't mean to upset Luis-kun, but I need more of that delicious liquor.
Fortunately or unfortunately, Luis-kun has a rather annoying friend.
There is a flying parasite identical to the fairy from The Legend of Zelda, it even has the same name. That parasite seems to be Luis-kun's best friend, although they both deny it.
They are two adorable tsunderes.
Navi offered me some drinks made by Luis-kun, though in exchange, I had to watch some videos.
At first, I thought it was a good deal for me, but now I can't get the scenes of Luis-kun having sex with several women out of my head, many women, too many women ...
I thought the exaggerated sexual performance I've seen in doujins was just a reflection of the authors' fantasies, but Luis-kun is an awesome guy. His performance has inspired me for my manga.
"Forget it, it's already too late" – Luis-kun sighed and directed his gaze to a wall, rather, he directed his gaze towards something outside the inn. – "Sagiri, you are more stupid than I imagined"
"What?!" – Sagi-chan stood up furiously, but a strange sensation covered our bodies which made it difficult for us to breathe...
"There are always problems... there are always damn annoyances..." – Luis's voice seemed full of tiredness and his gaze was dull as a dead fish, but something in his eyes began to scare me.
Why are there spirals in his eyes?
I don't know, but I have a bad feeling. My instincts tell me that I shouldn't move, I shouldn't even breathe, I should stay completely still...
The suffocating feeling of danger almost made me run away, but the heavy feeling disappeared when Tsubaki-san, Nia-chan, and Umaru-chan hugged Luis-kun.
"Luis, you are scaring the girls" – Tsubaki-san spoke softly.
I looked around and saw that almost all of the girls were trembling with pale faces, only Medaka-chan and I could resist the feeling of danger without lowering our heads. Well, Kuro-chan is still happily asleep so she won the bravery contest.
Now I understand what Umaru-chan meant when she said that Luis-kun is unstable. It's like his body and part of his mind still think he's still on the battlefield, which is dangerous if he loses his self-control.
Maybe Luis-kun doesn't sleep to avoid the traumas of war...
Such a nice boy is in such bad shape because of the war. This is horrible, a boy his age shouldn't be burdened with these responsibilities, that's the job of us adults.
"Sorry for the inconvenience" – Luis-kun sighed heavily, his gaze looks really tired. – "I will take care of everything, you finish dinner"
Luis tried to stand up, but the women who love him stopped him.
"Brother, you need to rest" – Umaru-chan hugged him tightly, the concern in his voice touched my heart.
I want to help these brothers...
I stood up and approached Luis-kun. The previous fear I felt is not enough to stop me.
"Leave everything in the hands of your big sister" - I smiled and flexed the muscle of my arm. – "You are stronger than me, but I am not weak, now be a good boy and stay here"
"..." – Luis-kun looked at me blankly.
"Great, our family keeps expanding" – Umaru-chan smiled wryly, although he seems happy with my words. She is an adorable girl.
Luis-kun sighed. – "You are strong, but they are prepared to face beings with the level of a guardian deity, they have weapons specially designed to nullify magical and spiritual abilities, your best abilities will be denied, and you will be defeated and injured, although the enemy has no intention of killing you, they are only here to force me to fight and thus check the seriousness of my injuries"
...huh? How does he know? Is it one of his hero skills?
Awesome, he's like an isekai protagonist!
I smiled. – "Well, I won't know if I don't try"
"You will lose... you will be hurt..." – Luis-kun frowned.
My smile grew and I couldn't resist the desire to caress his head. – "Ara~ Do you care about me?"
"...." – Luis-kun then sighed heavily. – "Stupid feelings of attachment..."
It's like Umaru-chan said, he's a cute tsundere.
"You're on vacation so I'll take care of the problems" – I smiled, but then I scratched my cheek with embarrassment. – "Ahem, my strength depends on the amount of alcohol I ingest... Would you mind giving me a bottle?"
It's embarrassing to ask for this after acting like a trustworthy big sister...
Luis-kun raised his hand and a bottle appeared that made me drool just looking at it.
Although my love for alcohol was stimulated by the bottle, my eyes noticed something more important.
Luis-kun's hands are shaking and his face seems a little pale.
It seems that he is very scared, or it could be that he feels too tired. Regardless of the reason, I want to help him.
"Hey Listen! This dog hides the best liquors just for his wives! If you want the best you will have to offer your huge ass and show that female manga authors are perverts!"
"....." – We all look at Navi with apathy, this has become normal.
Although.....
I shook off the useless thoughts from my mind and patted Luis-kun's head. - "I won't be long"
"Wait" – Medaka-chan stood up. - "I'm going with you"
"Oh, me too" – Yoko-chan smiled as she cracked her knuckles. – "I need to do some exercise"
Louis sighed. – "Go with them..."
Kuro-chan suddenly stood up as if she was a vampire coming out of her coffin. - "Kill?"
Kuro-chan looks totally innocent like a little girl about to go play in the park, but I feel a strange chill running down my spine.
"Protect" - Luis massaged his forehead.
Kuro-chan nodded and walked to my side, then held the corner of my sweater.
Oh, I want to hug her... She's too cute!
I already have a new idea for a new character for my manga. Kuro-chan will be the moe element.
Hmm?
I see. I was finally able to notice the invaders approaching the entrance.
They are showing their presence to get our attention, but I can't feel how many there are or how strong they are.
Luis-kun's senses are amazing.
"Nonko-san" – Chitose-san looked at me with concern.
"It's okay, Luis-kun said they won't try to kill me" – I smiled.
"..." – Chitose-san sighed and pointed at me with her small hand.
I have a strange feeling that my luck has improved. Chitose-san can improve other people's fortune and luck, but I think there was a side effect to this skill.
Mmmm, it must not be a bad thing or she wouldn't use this skill.
I went to greet the guests.
I don't like to fight, I hate war and I don't want trouble... But this is my home and these are my friends.
