Volume 6 Chapter 43 Dreams And Reality
It was when I took a book in my hand after a long time, bathed in the radiant light by the window.
"Hey, Yuusuke, do something about that idiot!"
Bang! The door of the room was kicked open from the outside. Hey, I locked it, so how did they manage to do that?
And who will compensate for this bent door?
However, I didn't have the courage to say that to Mevia, who entered in a fury. If I said something wrong here, it was clear that I would suffer the same fate as the door.
What's going on...
"What happened?"
"What happened? That idiot did it again!"
Mevia, with a face that could be called a stunning beauty if not for her anger, gave an unsatisfactory response.
Calm down.
Calm down, me. Don't get irritated.
This is like defusing a bomb. I have to choose my words carefully, or I'll suffer unnecessary damage.
Already, a precious victim, the door, has been affected. Tomorrow it could be me.
The idiot that Mevia is talking about here is probably Kougarou. There is no one else who can anger Mevia besides him.
And when it comes to what Kou has done,
"Did he deceive another woman?"
"Yeah, that's right!"
Mevia stomped her feet in anger. This time, unfortunately, the carpet died. Aahh.
Kou is reliable in combat, to say the least, but unfortunately, he was a womanizer.
Glaive liked women but wasn't popular, so it wasn't a big problem. But Kou is popular. Annoyingly popular.
He's more popular than me, the hero, for some reason.
If he just had a one-night stand with some random woman, it would be the person's problem, but Mevia is furious to this extent.
"She's a count's daughter, okay!? And the second daughter of Count Soara, who has strong ties to the church! What are we going to do?!"
"Uhh..."
He's such an idiot.
Needless to say, in Asteris, which feels like it's in the middle of the Middle Ages in terms of politics, the nobles are not the kind of people who can be easily touched.
Mevia is being called a fallen saint and such, but she surprisingly cares about the relationship between the church and the nobility, so she couldn't forgive him.
Even though I'm putting up with it, that bastard.
No, that's wrong. Even though he is a member of the prestigious Hero party... how dare he!
"So, what should I do?"
Of course, there's no way I can clean up after this.
Mevia must understand that too. Putting her thumb on her neck and making a pulling gesture, she said succinctly.
"Kill..."
"..."
Calm down. Calm down, me.
Mevia is just a little flustered. If I wait a bit, she'll calm down and think rationally.
"..."
"..."
No good. Her eyes are serious.
It seems that she has reached her limit with repeated issues with women.
But killing each other within the Hero party is no joke.
"...I'm coming in."
A new guest entered the chaotic room.
My room is already in a state of "all welcome" since the door disappeared. It's nice not having to knock.
"Eris, what's wrong with your face?"
The one who entered was Eris. Usually, even during our travels, she rarely shows signs of fatigue, but today it's clear even with makeup on.
"Oh, this. I was woken up last night and ended up running around to clean up after that foolish woman. I just got back from a journey and finished the assigned duties, and then this..."
"Oh, oh, welcome back."
It seems that it was a turbulent day in a place I completely don't know.
At times like this, the hero seems to be left out.
From what I heard, it seems that the second daughter of Count Soara originally had a free-spirited personality, and the incident with Kou was supposed to have never happened.
Eris seems to have visited Count Soara's place and worked hard to keep it a secret. It was tough.
Although it was within the Centraris Kingdom, if this had been another country, it could have become a serious international issue.
I don't know where that guy is right now, but we'll have to let the situation die down before we confront him.
While thinking about such things, just as I was about to get up and maybe give Eris a massage...
"Hey, Yuusuke. Can you hide me for a bit?"
That idiot Kou entered through the window.
"......"
"......"
At that time, I couldn't see Eris and Mevia's faces.
Somehow, they...
...
...
...
"Why do you always come crashing into these chaos situations!"
"W-what?! I'm sorry!"
...Huh? What's the matter?
Let's organize the situation. Until a moment ago, I thought I was in my own room in the Centraris Kingdom, but apparently this is different.
The overall white room was adorned with a familiar IV drip seen in dramas. And beside the bed, there was a small girl who had frozen in surprise.
One of the "keys," Yunea.
It seems I was sleeping in the hospital room.
Ah, I kind of understand now. I should apologize to Yunea for startling her.
"Sorry for scaring you. I had a bad dream."
"I-Is that so? I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"
"Not at all. Thank you for treating me."
After battling with Shikin, I must have lost consciousness. And probably got taken to the Anti-Demon Official's infirmary where Yunea was called.
Yunea smiled charmingly and shook her head.
"No, I didn't do much. Yuusuke-sama's recovery ability is amazing."
"No, it's thanks to you. Regarding recovery abilities, I've been told something similar in the past."
Wait a minute.
Thanks to recalling the situation, I remembered what happened after defeating Shikin.
The Grimoire and Kougarou.
Unexpected intruders had turned everything into chaos. But well, the fact that I'm alive must mean that Kou helped transport us.
I should at least express my gratitude. There are various things we need to talk about, like how long he has been here.
"Well then, I should be going now."
"Huh, you're leaving already? I wanted to thank you properly."
"Well, my big sister is waiting. And..."
As Yunea looks towards the door, it opens at almost the same time.
"Yuusuke-san!"
Lisha and the others burst into the room. It seems Yunea had informed them that I had woken up.
"Yuusuke-san, are you okay? Are you alive?"
"Lisha, calm down. You can tell just by looking, right?"
"I'm glad..."
"Thank you for worrying me..."
Lisha, Kanami, Tsukiko, and Sharla surround me one after another.
Their voices echo painfully in my wounds, but it also makes me feel relieved that I have returned.
Yotsuji, wearing a cap, pops her head out from behind the four of them.
"Hey, we both made it back safely, didn't we?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"Please say hello to him for me. Tell him, we're even now."
"I'll definitely let him know."
Yotsuji nodded happily.
As for me, I'm smiling as Lisha's soft and fluffy body presses against my wounds, worrying about them.
Oh no, if I show it on my face, Tsukiko and Sharla will find out.
I kept calm with all my might and looked out the window.
For now, I took one step forward.
The deadline for the God-Demon War is the end of the year. The end is approaching.
I only have a little time left to be with Lisha and Kanami like this.
"Yuusuke-san, I'm afraid you're really going to die, you know?"
"Yes, I was also scared this time."
"It seems like your eyesight has recovered, that's good."
"Yeah, sorry for worrying you. Thank you."
So, I thought that until then, I want to indulge in this happiness.
