Volume 5 Chapter 20 Troublesome
Well, there are certainly a lot of things she wants to know.
"Yeah, sorry for lying."
"That's okay. When I was over there, I couldn't go outside much, so I wonder where you went."
If it was Asteris, I've been there for over four years, so even just recalling them is a considerable number. The human kingdom, the forest where monsters live, the dragon valley. I told her in order of what I remembered.
"Come to think of it, I've been to the demon's country too."
"The demon's country? Is it safe to enter?"
"I went incognito, hiding my identity. It was interesting to learn things I didn't know."
"I see... I can't imagine."
The literature of the demon's country is not something that ordinary people can read in any country. There's no way I'll let Saint read it.
For humans, demons are bloodless and tearless monsters who live a life of survival of the fittest without any proper family love. For rulers, that's more convenient.
Even though it's clear that it's unlikely, humans believe it seriously.
If Lisha has the opportunity, I'd like to show her the demon's city once. She should be able to grow up as a person, not just as a Saint.
Even if I can't take her, maybe Kanami or someone can take her.
"What other places did you go?"
"Well, I went to the hell."
"What are you talking about?"
Sorry to be laughing, but I'm serious.
"Lisha, if you want to, you can go to the hell."
"What? Are you serious? The hell is where sinners who lost the protection of the goddess fall."
"I was pulled in or fell in due to circumstances. Well, I didn't want to go there many times."
"..."
I could tell Lisha was speechless with surprise.
I understand the feeling. In fact, I never thought I'd end up going there either.
"Aside from the hell, it would be nice if Lisha could travel to various places in Asteris once you returns."
At that, her hands washing my back paused.
"That's impossible. I am a Saint, so I cannot leave the church."
She replied calmly, not particularly sad. Her voice conveyed the reality that couldn't be changed.
Certainly, that might have been the case until recently.
"Lisha, you'll be fine. Just because you're a Saint doesn't mean you have to stay in the church. Right now, you can go anywhere you want."
"I can't do such a thing. I'm helpless on my own."
She replied, her grip on the towel tightening.
That's not true.
"Lisha, you've fought with many demons. This may sound strange, but there are few humans who can support me in the fight. With that much power and experience, you can go anywhere and do anything."
Many humans have never even fought with demons.
But Lisha has been fighting against such a titled demon.
There's no way a person like that can't leave the church.
"Even Mevia, who is a Saint, does whatever she wants. Lisha can do it too."
"I see... I'll do my best."
Lisha still sounded unsure. It would be good if she could gain more confidence before returning, but she'll have to build it up herself.
"Yuusuke-san, I'm done washing."
"Oh, thanks. Then I'll leave now. Lisha, make sure to take a proper bath."
I forgot about my current situation because of the reminiscing. It's practically a crime to not notice the skin-colored bomb and to leave as quickly as possible.
"Okay. Then I'll take a bath——"
Her voice trailed off. From this distance, I could tell what happened without seeing it
"Huh?"
Instinctively, I moved my body to support Lisha, who was about to fall. But think about it. What would happen if you tried to support someone's body in such a tight space like a small bathroom? My hand sank into the softness of her skin.
——Oh?
Or rather, it felt like my hand was being enveloped. What is this feeling? Where am I touching her?
The shock was so great that I lost consciousness for a few seconds. When I regained consciousness, I was hit with even more astonishment.
"..."
"——!"
The bath towel that was supposed to be covering Lisha's body had come undone and fallen to the ground. Fortunately or unfortunately, she wasn't completely naked underneath.
She was wearing the swimsuit she had worn during the training camp. It was a light green one-piece with small frills that added a cute accent. It had a modest and calm atmosphere, but unfortunately, Lisha's figure was too good, creating an imbalanced charm.
"Ah, ah, ahh..."
Lisha's face turned red all at once. I see, so that's the swimsuit Lisha prepared. At times like this, a man shouldn't be embarrassed. I conveyed the words that came to mind directly to her.
"Lisha."
"H-huh?"
There's no need to be embarrassed. Be proud, Lisha.
"I think you're super cute, sexy, and amazing!"
"You're so indecent!"
Immediately after, I was slammed against the wall of the bathroom by the tremendous force of Sanctuary.
