The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 64: Variable (3)
“Whew... Thankfully, there’s no tailing.”
After arriving at the hideout, Charlotte threw the bundle of luggage she had tied up tightly into a corner.
... The road to the hideout was really... long and arduous.
This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.
Thanks to Charlotte, who reminded me of a spy in a movie... I returned from a 20-minute trip in 40 minutes.
At first, I followed her carefully, thinking, ‘Wow... that could definitely happen,’ since she said she was tired a lot because of her position.
No.
On the way here.
When she stopped quietly and said that she felt like she was being tailed and that she needed to check, I said that I could check with my senses...
She suddenly jumped up onto the building, saying that was cheating and that it was romantic to actually go and check.
So I also quickly expanded my senses.
When I saw the princess giggling while smoking a cigarette on the rooftop of the building... I found out the truth.
It was tiring work, and all, but... I just did it because I was bored...
Bring back my childlike innocence...
“Ha... I’m stressed.”
Rubia sighed next to me and carefully put Hephaestus on her back.
“T-You’ve had a hard time. Rubia...”
He patted Rubia’s sweaty back with his hand.
“Yes... Noah, you’ve had a hard time too.”
“That’s right, when I said I’d carry you, why did you say you’d carry him yourself?”
“Because I saw you groping Hephaestus’s body with those damned hands.”
Rubia, who had been smiling kindly at me until just now, suddenly changed.
She gritted her teeth and glared at Charlotte with a face like a demon.
“You have to speak properly. I’m not groping, I’m just slipping. Who do you think I’m a pervert...”
No matter how I looked at it, it was obvious that he was a pervert, but for now... I stayed still.
What if I nod my head for no reason and they arrest me for insulting the imperial family?
They say he has more power and money than Rubia...
But.
Unlike me, Rubia didn't hold back.
"Everyone in the world knows you're a pervert."
"Hey...Rubia, you insult the imperial family-"
"Yes. Arrest me."
Rubia stretched out her arms and held her wrists together.
It was as if she was putting on handcuffs.
"Haa...You weren't like that when you were little, but you've become weird since you grew up. What should I do, my Rubia?"
Charlotte, who had been quietly watching her, put her hand on her forehead and shook her head.
When you were little?
You knew Rubia for a long time?
"It's only been two years since we met, but when you were little, what..."
Rubia, who shuddered as if she was genuinely annoyed, quickly hugged me. And then she whispered sweetly in my ear.
“Noah. Please scold me.”
“Eh, yes...? Oh, no...”
“It’s okay. If there are no witnesses, it’s an assassination, so don’t worry.”
“T-what are you talking about...! Even if there are no witnesses... you shouldn’t kill people...!”
She shook her head and pushed Rubia away.
Rubia’s expression distorted slightly.
Charlotte, who was buried in the sofa, also wrinkled her expression.
“Noah... you shouldn’t kill innocent people, but you can kill people who deserve to die.”
“Yes, yes...?”
“That’s not a person, it’s an animal. It’s okay.”
Are you... calling the princess an animal right now?
What... uh... just listening to her words, it sounds a little like that...
But still, it’s not okay!
“Hey, hey. Stop it, Noah, you go wash up. You stink so I can’t stay with you.”
Huh... stink, stink?!
“What, what’s with your expression? Isn’t that obvious? Think about where you guys were just now. Didn’t it smell?”
“Uh... uh, no... Rubia made it smelly earlier...”
I washed the blood off my body with drinking water, and Rubia’s divine powers got rid of the stink... but...
I raised my arm and sniffed.
There was just... a faint peach scent, and there was no smell at all.
“Ah... it doesn’t smell... Ah... this.”
I wanted to shout, “It doesn’t smell!”
But Charlotte’s sitting posture and expression... were so powerful that I ended up hiding behind Rubia and quietly speaking...
“Huh? Are you not going to listen to the princess right now?”
Charlotte jumped up from her seat.
“Ugh, shoo...”
She clung even closer to Rubia’s back.
Then, this time, Rubia pushed me away.
“Noah, you only smell good, but I think it’s better to wash up.”
“I, really...?”
“Hehehe... Yes. After all... um... I’ve caught so many demons by myself. Washing up and relieving fatigue... wouldn’t that be nice?”
“That’s right, that’s right. Plus, the water here is warm, so washing up will be easy.”
At Charlotte and Rubia’s joint attack... I reluctantly nodded.
Of course, it’s not that I don’t like washing up.
But... that... uh, underwear... is a bit...
It’s normal to want to wear fluffy underwear after washing up, right...?
Besides, uh...
The bandage I'm wearing around my chest right now is ripped, so I'm barely holding it together...
If I take it off, it'll be irreversible!
Well, my body... It won't show even if it's gone...
"Ah, I understand..."
I nodded obediently and got off Rubia's back.
I'll just cover it up carefully...
And then I stood quietly in front of the bathroom.
Obeyfully.
Quietly.
Rubia and Charlotte, who were looking at me, tilted their heads.
And then.
A small laugh escaped Rubia's mouth.
"Phehe... Noah, I'm sorry, but I think it'd be better if you shower alone today. I think Charlotte might spy on you, so I'll guard you."
"Ah..."
"Huh, that's ridiculous."
Charlotte roughly brushed her bangs back and took out a cigarette and continued talking.
“I won’t peek. Just look at it confidently.”
Then, after lighting it up nicely, he exhaled smoke as if he was pleased.
“... That’s right. I’ll just wash up alone today.”
“Uuuum... Yes. Okay.”
He stood there for a few seconds, wiggling his body, and then went into the bathroom.
Um...
What’s wrong with today?
I wanted to wash up with Rubia.
A little.
What a shame..
Whoooo-
Charlotte buried herself in the sofa as she heard the sound of water in the bathroom.
“Swoop- Hoo...”
Blonde hair swayed and swayed beyond the thick smoke.
“Magic Herb... Are you still suffering from the aftereffects of ‘that incident’?”
“That’s also true. I think I’m addicted. Hehe...”
Charlotte shook her head with a bitter smile.
“If you need help, let me know. I’ll do my best to help you.”
“Then, let me suck your breasts.”
“Get out.”
“Ugh... Charulotto, I’m sorry...”
“What brings you to Ursphere?”
Since I didn’t respond, I scratched my head awkwardly and straightened my posture.
“Ahem... A pretty woman with a strong sense of justice and big breasts asked me to catch a scorpion because she was scared of it, but it came to me. I had no choice but to come.”
Charlotte snickered as she exhaled smoke.
“...What is that.”
Last time, when I encountered Jur in Roholan.
I linked Jur’s unique ability to mine.
I asked her to help me with this incident.
So I heard that they were sending a total of 5 people to support me, and Charlotte was one of them?
“I heard you two are friends... What I told Mr. Jur was that you went to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Charlotte?”
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
“Yeah. I came anyway because I had business in Karahan, but the timing was good. I saw both the big and small tits. It was so good. It was so damn hot. I think I’m going to cum right now.”
Ignoring Charlotte’s nonsense, I continued asking questions.
“Mr. Jur said that five people would go. What about them?”
“I got bitten.”
Charlotte, who was watching me ignore her nonsense to the end, smiled blandly as she continued to talk, looking at me as if to say, ‘This is pretty good?’
“Huh... No one would have known it would turn out like this. And the reinforcements who arrived late must have thought there were 300 Red Scorpions. How ridiculous.”
Charlotte was right. According to what I heard from Jur, the Red Scorpion's total number of members was a little over 300.
The ones we encountered this time were about 30.
"Then, where are the rest of them...?"
"They're all dead."
"...Huh?"
"They're all dead. The rest of them."
Charlotte, who had been buried in the sofa, straightened her back.
"I heard it a little while ago, too, that Kalt came and went."
"If it's Kalt... Black Knight Kalt?"
"Yeah. The one who went missing last time."
Black Knight Kalt.
Originally the leader of the Imperial Knights, he was known to have killed all of the knights after reaching Master, and then went missing.
But... why Kalt in Red Scorpion?
"Hehehehe! That's right. When I heard that news, I had the same expression as you. Don't you understand?"
“...Not at all.”
“Me too... I don’t know why they disappeared one day and came back now. Well... Even if they deserved to die, I wonder if it was necessary to do that...”
Charlotte threw the last of the magic candles that had burned into the ashtray and swept her hair.
“But... do you know who that guy’s next target is?”
Charlotte’s gaze turned to Hephaestus.
“No way...”
“It’s Yuria.”
As numerous questions arose in her head, the puzzle pieces began to fit together.
“So... the Red Scorpion knew about Eliximona’s existence...”
“Yeah. Maybe he was trying to kill that girl. Why, Yuria has that stone. She should have it too.”
“Ah... That artifact that Yuria said she made?”
“Oh, that. You can tell if she's alive or not. I think that's probably what she was trying to lure Yuria with.
.”
“That means...”
Charlotte growled as she took out a new magic candle and lit it.
“Yeah. That bastard Kalt. He must be in Urspher.”
As soon as Charlotte finished speaking.
The bundle of luggage that had been thrown in the corner flinched.
The last survivor of the Red Scorpions, Mariel, woke up.
“Your timing is killing me.”
“Yes. When Hephaestus wakes up, I’ll send Noah out for a bit.”
She said quietly, suppressing the heat boiling inside her.
“Let’s interrogate him.”
