Chapter 7 (1/2)

World’s Hero and the Treasure tool (2)

*kotsu kotsu*, footsteps of two people sounds in the pavement.

「Fuaaー. It’s big and beautiful as alwaysー」

While staring at the stonework at the depths of the corridor, Asuka don’t even know how many times she sighed.

「That’s true」

Yuuto accompanies Asuka with one step back.

Trishulia1, the castle in the center of the imperial capital that soars the sky, it’s the biggest castle among the continent. It’s impressive, even though Yuuto was used to seeing j.a.panese Buildings but, it’s his first time seeing this.

Today, they’re on an errand from the imperial squad, Yuuto and Asuka visited Trishulia castle.

「Or perhaps should I say that the imperial squad isn’t at the castle all the time」

「That seems like it. There are some aide that’s always babysitting the princess but, the squad members are basically called only on times of emergency」

While walking on the corridor in a steady pace, Yuuto said ‘hmmm..’ and he threw an answer to Asuka’s question. Actually, Yuuto and Asuka is called to the city for the appointment ceremony. That Yuuto and Asuka frowned and opened their mouth.

「I mean, they already gave you an explanation about the appointment ceremony but, I did my best and raised you to be my spokesman」

「Ah. I slept that time」

Yuuto answered blankly, Asuka squinted her eyes in shock. ‘Even if I say it, it can’t be helped, haaa’, Asuka sighed.

「Ah, that’s right. This is just a talk about me. It may be wrong but, aren’t you just wasting your time?」

「Eh? Then, I didn’t need to come don’t I?」

Asuka clapped her hand as if she remembered, Yuuto gave her a glare that’s asking for explanation. Asuka laughed and made a posture telling that she forgot to deceive him.

「…You still don’t trust me?」

「I-I can’t help it!! I don’t have actual combat experience after all!! I’m the one who should be worried!!」

Asuka pushed out her chest a.s.suming a defiant att.i.tude to Yuuto’s glare. Over the clothes, Asuka’s well shaped breast swayed.

「You can’t enter with your armor nor helmet. S-So right now this is all I have!」

Asuka hid her chest with her arm quickly. For some reason she’s embarra.s.sed for this day, I see I see, Yuuto began to laugh at Asuka.

「Ah, so you put it on? I’m happy. It was my first time giving an accessory present for a woman」

「If it was your first time then what was that!?」

*Gaan*2, Asuka’s ponytail swayed, She’s almost crying in shame.

It was the defensive tool that Yuuto specially made. If both rings are installed on Asuka’s nipples, it can null physical and magical attacks.

However, the effect hadn’t been experienced actually. That’s why Asuka is anxious.

「Geez, what a handful of a hero are you」

Saying so, Yuuto extends his hand. That moment, a long narrow sparkling blueish white sword had appeared in Yuuto’s right hand in a flick.

「Hii. What are you doing at times like this!?」

「It’s to remove the uneasiness of Asuka-sama. This sword has a blade that can bisect up to atomic level, it’s equivalent to an A rank treasure tool. Even I don’t even know what this can do」

Setting up a smile, Yuuto proceeds to slowly set up the sword.

「Eh? Waiー. W-what!? A-atom? I don’t understand it but that’s dangerous…」

「Yes. It’s extremely dangerous. ーーHere we go!?」

*Shurari*, Yuuto aims the tip of the sword at Asuka’s neck.

「Hi, Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!?」

Asuka raised a scream that didn’t become a voice and her body stiffened.

Kiiiiiiiiin…….

The moment the tip of the sword made a contact on Asuka’s neck, a beautiful sound reverbed.

A blade that should be able to bisect all things, it stopped on Asuka’s neck without even making a line of scratch in her skin.

「…F-fuee. I-I’m not cut…?」

*Pakii*, in front of Asuka, Yuuto’s treasure tool made a noise and crumbled. Asuka dumbfoundedly looked at it’s state.

「I did make that as a present for you that day right? Please trust me」

Yuuto looked straight to Asuka’s face while her hands are shaking. To Yuuto’s expression, Asuka’s tension melted.

「Y-Yuuto. As expected, you’re a goooooooooooood guy!!?」

The moment Asuka smile teary eyed, Asuka’s body jumped. Yuuto’s face changed to a smile.

「Nn, Ah. W-what’s this…?」

「It’s a bonus feature. It seems it’s effect is coming out properly」

Yuuto explains with a refres.h.i.+ng smile while Asuka is bending her body.

「That said, this isn’t mean. Both are reacting. That means the attack earlier isn’t just physical, but also has a magical power in it. As a result, you can know the attribute of the enemy attack」

By the way, it’s an exceptional item to understand the strength and weaknesses of their power. That attack earlier was outrageous, Asuka herself experienced it first-hand.

「Uuuu. You’re just being mean」
