Return of the Former Hero

Chapter 180. Former Hero - After the Fight

[Uu…Hm? This place is…Uuh!?]

[Oh, you woke up?]

It’s evening right now

We’re currently on the night of the second day in Unicorn Forest.

Shea, who fainted, wakes up after my last blow shatters the clothes that she was wearing.

[Apparently, you have exhausted your magical power. It’s better not to get up for a while though? More like you can’t move right now.]

[Uhh…Umm?]

Shea looked at me with a vague face, perhaps because her consciousness is still unclear.

No way, this is my chance to make use of her current short-term memory impairment!

[Haa … You, Amagi Haruto, ouch.]

Well, too bad, it didn’t happen at all.

Shea, who remembered someone, tried to get up, but she was hindered by severe pain before writhing.

And thanks to that, the blanket on her body is fluttering.

[Waa…I-I’m naked?! U…Kuu~…]

Shea becomes aware of her current situation and tries to hide her exposed breasts in a hurry, but she writhes again because of that. She’s a busy girl.

[Look, just stay quiet alright. The timing is bad since she just left her seat earlier. However, Chiyu will be returning soon.]

I threw the blanket that I was wearing to Shea so she can use it to hide her breasts.

The towel dropped on Shea’s other side. It’s a hassle to get up to pick up.

After all, although not as much as Shea, I can feel the creaking sound all over my body because I used Ragnarok Blade earlier.

[Uu…]

Shea now moves her arms quietly and slowly, and then she curled up inside the blanket.

Her face was slightly reddish from embarrassment and she was a little tearful because her body was in pain.

[Shia-sama! You woke…up?]

Then, Chiyu, who went to fetch water outside, came back.

And, Chiyu saw Shea curled up inside a blanket with teary eyes with her bandage still wrapped around her, and then she looked at my naked upper body and became speechless.

[Y-y-you bastard! What did you do to She-Shea-sama when I took my eyes off for a moment?]

Chiyu-san, who returned to me, grabbed my shoulder and shook me in the blink of an eye.

It hurts, it hurts!

[Wait, wait a minute! I haven’t done anything! I haven’t done anything at all!]

Chiyu-san’s eyes are scary.

Although Chiyu-san shook me hard, the sight of Chiyu-san’s breasts swaying along with her movement is eye-opening, but still, I want you to stop because it hurts my body.

I grabbed Chiyu-san’s hand and managed to stop it.

[Hah! Shi, Shia-sama! Are you alright? Did he do something? Even though I just went to fetch water, I shouldn’t have taken my eyes off for a moment. At least I should take this guy out with me. Or I should have wrapped his body tight so that it wouldn’t come off. It was a mistake to trust him because he said that he didn’t want to move. After all, his body hurt.]

Chiyu-san, who had returned her consciousness, released her hand, and this time she rushed to Shea’s side immediately.

Planning to wrap me up tightly? so cruel.

Hm? Isn’t this idea somehow a little bit similar to someone last night?

No, it’s just my imagination, I guess.

Anyway, Chiyu talks to Shea who is lying down. However, she talked on all fours to level her gaze with Shea.

Therefore, her shaking protruding butt can be seen from my view.

From the swaying butt, is it yellow? or maybe orange? Anyway, her bushy tail of that color is peeping out while she is on all fours.

And the hem of her short skirt is turned up so her panties can be almost fully seen. Thank you, I’m grateful.

Black, huh… Not bad. No, it’s rather good.

It was plain and practical panties, but that’s why it’s good.

Uhehe.

[Chiyu… What happened…?]

Shea, who didn’t notice my lucky pervert moment and still didn’t understand what happened, asked Chiyu.

[Oh, yes. Actually…]

When she was being asked, Chiyu-san began to explain the current situation.

Even if she said an explanation, she was only looking after Shea who had fainted in our tent.

The reason she’s naked is that her clothes were shattered by my attack and she didn’t have the spare clothes.

Simple.

[In other words, Shea lost…?]

[It’s our regret…]

[I…see.]

Shea, who understood roughly, murmured.

What a mood to wake up in.

I was staying awake all night because my body hurts, you know.

[Chiyu. Can you leave for a little bit? I have something to ask Amagi Haruto.]

After a while of silence, Shea opened her mouth.

[Eh? N-no, but Shea-sama…?]

Chiyu was confused when Shea said that.

Then, she took a glance and looked at me.

Her eyes were telling me that, “I’m worried, worried, and worried about leaving such a beast with Shea-sama alone.”

Well.

She turned her eyes away in a hurry, but I wonder if she noticed that I was watching Chiyu’s panties earlier?

While she glances at the situation, Chiyu-san has no intentions to hide her panties.

It was good that she didn’t seem to have noticed. And I haven’t been found out either.

No matter how much you look at panties, I won’t get tired of seeing them. I want to see even a little bit more. I am such garbage.

[Chiyu.]

Shia called Chiyu’s name once more.

[I-I understand…]

Chiyu stood up. It seems she gave up and thought that it was useless no matter what she said.

Ah, the panties.

[Please excuse me. I’ll help Etna-sama’s cooking outside, so please call me “if anything happens” and “loudly”.]

What is with that emphasis?

I wonder why that is?

When she went out in front of me…

Can you stop looking at me right in my eyes?

[Fuhh…]

When the pressure went out, I felt comfortable.

Those were the eyes to kill people.

Even with Elcure, she doesn’t have that kind of eyes.

[Umm…]

When I was thinking about such a thing, Shea called out to me.

Her excessive energy during the battle was not there at all, and she was as weak as an abandoned kitten.

Well, a great gap.

[Well…uh… What do you want to talk about?]

[…]

While still lying down, Shea stares into my eyes.

W-what is it?

Can you stop because it made my heart skip a beat?

[…Why?]

[Why what?]

After a long pause, Shea finally continued her words.

[Why didn’t you kill Shea?]

Eh?

Why didn’t I kill her?

Oh, so she just wants to hear about that?

[Well… How should I say it? At the end of our fight, I was trying to kill you, you know? Do you remember that the space flicked in front of you in our last clash? It seems that Chiyu-san did it. When I thought about it, it was really dangerous. So, because of that interference, my attack ended up only grazing you, but at that time you fainted. It’s truly a match if I’d say so]

[No, it’s not like that…]

Nn?

Although I explained it to her, Shea replied like that.

If it’s not like that, then what?

[The match is your win…unfortunately. But Shea was fighting intending to kill you. Since you made your opponent faint, why didn’t you finish me off?]

Ah, I see.

[That’s what it is. Hmm… That’s right… Well, it’s not like I have resentment towards you … Let’s see, perhaps it’s because you are a cute girl, how about that?]

[Eh?]

It seems my words were unable to be understood, Shea blankly opened her mouth.

[You were lucky. If it was in the same situation, if you were a filthy muscular old man, I would have to pierce you for sure.]

I said that to Shea and grinned.

I thought so.

Fuh.

No, it’s a lie, right?

Even if you are a muscular old man, should I bother to stop in that kind of situation?

There will be a difference in how to deal with it without taking care at all or leaving it in that area.

[I, I see… I understand… B-because I am cute…]

Perhaps she was convinced by my explanation and then she put her blanket up to her head and muttered something in it.

So cute.

Just maybe, if it is possible I have hope? Maybe?

No, well, I should better leave it alone.

[Can I ask you something too?]

[Yes…?]

Shea looked at me from inside of the blanket.

However, her gaze instantly turned away.

What is this girl? It’s really cute.

[No, I’m curious about it. You, it seems your atmosphere changes when you have a sword? What is that? A double personality?]

[Ah… that is…what should I say…]

When she heard my question, Shea only moved her neck and looked around.

And she found her sword, which only has a handle on her side, and reached for her sled.

My vigilance increased, but she wouldn’t be able to move today even if she had her weapon in hand.

I am also doubtful that a magical blade can be formed with her current condition in the first place.

Shea’s extended hand holds her sword.

Then, her aura suddenly changed from a small animal-like into full excitement.

[I am… I was born like this.]

[What?]

Shea’s words while holding the sword were incomprehensible.

I wonder why?

[Well, listen. My house is fairly famous. I also like martial arts. However, my usual personality isn’t suitable for fighting. I don’t remember when it started, but when I got the hang of the sword, and only when I was holding the sword like this, I was able to switch to a fighting personality.]

[Heh.]

So there is such a thing as that?

By the time she got the hang of the sword, it had already happened and she had been practicing it since she was very young.

Thus, if you started doing it from such a young age, it would be like that.

[…No, even if I asked that, but what about the current story?]

Shea stared at her sword and said so in a self-deprecating manner.

[About what?]

Even if I was told that.

Well, if she said so, is that true?

In the face of the reality of Shea, I have no knowledge that can deny her words.

[I don’t know. I thought so, but when I realized it, it was like this. Maybe because of my personality, I’m another person who can’t get used to everyday life and cares about the eyes around me. Maybe that’s the reason that it has been born.]

Nn, nn?

Ah, in other words, she doesn’t know the origin of which one it came from, is that it?

[Well, it’s not inconvenient either, but sometimes I wonder which one was the real one… Huh, wait, why should I tell you about that too! Stupid!]

Perhaps she just noticed it, suddenly she lost her temper and threw the sword in her hand at me.

[Uhh…!]

Shea writhes again after throwing. Is she stupid?

When I caught the sword that she threw at me in the air, I threw it back toward Shea.

[Uhh… This story… even Chiyu never heard about it too…]

Shea, who has let go of her sword and is now back on her small animal mode, hides her red face with a blanket.

Even if her personality changes, her memory is still the same.

…What an interesting fellow.

However, that’s it.

The chicken or the egg came first, wasn’t it?

[I understand the situation. That’s why you’re troubled. Well, you should not worry about it too much, you know?]

[It’s not like I’m worried. I don’t mind.]

There was a total denial voice from the blanket.

Is that so? So you were worried?

[Then, let’s end this talk. Everyone has their thoughts like that. I’m a beast at night too, you know?]

Got it.

I always wanted to say it.

[…]

Shea looked through the blanket again and stared at me.

This line of sight is exactly like she said, [What is this guy saying about?] like that!

Ha, maybe I should stop…

I wonder if I should put the mood in the situation?

[Haruto-kun. The dinner is ready.]

It’s as if breaking the sad silence, Etna showing her face from the entrance of the tent.

[Shia-sama. Are you okay?]

Following that, Chiyu fidgeted and asked Shea.

[Yes… I’m alright…]

[I’m glad to hear that. Then, please let me take care of Shea’s meal.]

Chiyu, who had just come into the tent, brought along dinner that seemed to be for Shea.

And she just sent a hand signal to me to get out early.

No, I don’t mind at all.

Let’s say I can enjoy dinner alone with Etna-san.

I forgot the existence of the noisy guy with horns.

[Up I go.]

I moved my squeaking body and I lifted my hips. At the same time…

[Chiyu. What does it mean to be a beast at night?]

Buhaa.

What are you asking about at this time?

[Beast…! Sh-shea-sama? W-what are you talking about?]

[It’s because Amagi Haruto was a beast at night…]

Ah.

So, you are that kind of person.

The silence that I mentioned earlier; you didn’t understand what I was saying.

Ah, is that so?

[To my precious! What are you going to do to Shea-sama!?]

Chiyu-san seems to understand the meaning. Hahaha.

[No, nothing at all… I’m doing nothing! Wait, wait.]

Chiyu, who flew to me in an instant, grabbed my shoulders again and shook it.

Scary, scary, hurts, hurts.

My brain is shaken. The world is shaken.

Ah, and her breasts are also shaking. Flabby, flabby……
