Chapter 11 (1/2)

The Tanned Hero and the Princess had a dream (1)

「G-Good morning Yuuto!」

「Good morning Asuka-sama」

In the morning, Asuka raised her hand cheerfully and greeted Yuuto. Yuuto is drinking tea and reading casually, then replied monotonously without even glancing.

Seeing that Yuuto, Asuka’s forehead made a snapping sound.

(W-what’s with him? Yesterday, H-he did stare at my body so much. I-I couldn’t even sleep because of it…)

She was able to hold the twitching of the corner of her mouth, Asuka called out Sasha that is cooking in the kitchen.

「Sasha. Please prepare breakfast for me too」

「Ah, yes. Certainly」

While looking at the maid who’s good at her work, Asuka let down her waist on the seat on the dining table. Then, she stared at the Yuuto that’s reading the newspaper.

(I-In the first place, what’s with that cloth? No matter how you think of it, it’s for lewd purposes. A-also, the size was a perfect fit…)

Recalling the underwear from yesterday, Asuka’s back trembled. ‘I can’t I can’t’, Asuka shook her head in panic.

(Always smiling with a straight face. Saying ‘Asuka-sama’ …What does he think of me?)

*Musuri*, Asuka puffed her cheeks. Peeping at Yuuto’s face, it was a cool face as if nothing happened yesterday.

(W-what? Am I the only one wo worrries? It feels like I’m the one naughty in here)

Remembering last night where her body was impatiently hot, Asuka’s face blushed. The blunder of comforting her own body lingered, it was gradually left behind. That excitement won’t be forgotten all night long after all.

(T-thinking about it. I’m living in with a man. Even so, he’s still a man)

*Kachari*, the one in front of her put down the tea and bread without noticing her, Asuka stared at Yuuto. ‘What’s wrong?’, Sasha inclined her head, Asuka gazed at Yuuto’s body without being noticed at all.

(U-Up until now I didn’t realize he’s also a man. I always swing my sword alone, get close to death, get hurt…)

Speaking of, Asuka recalls she’s not treating wounds recently. This and that are all thanks to Yuuto’s treasure tool. She really didn’t get hit even one scratch.

Recalling the sketchbook that she saw yesterday, Asuka’s cheeks dyed red.

(…What does he think of me?)

Worrying that the tea would cool down, Sasha rustled her clothes while worrying whether she have to call the pensive master of hers, the morning air wrapped it up.

◆　　◆　　◆

Noontime. Yuuto had a tiresome face as He visit the Trishulia castle.

「…What do you want to talk about?」

Not hiding the laughing tone in her expression, Risty called out in front of him.

「That att.i.tude! You, you also think of devoting to you master right? Then, you can’t just stay in 908th forever, I’ll train you myself」

Risty is wrapped in light equipments, Yuuto looked at him with a smart expression.

In the momentum, Yuuto frowned.

「No, I’m good」

「You can’t. …Fufu, that’s an order from your captain」

Risty is filled with motivation, Yuuto cursed from the bottom of his heart. 1

He had felt unease when they met in the hallway. He’s not a sarcastic person. But, Yuuto belongs to the annoying race.2

(This person is sports minded…)

Yuuto almost break a smile unintentionally. Seemingly busy, sparing time for a mere squad member like Yuuto, in the first place Risty is told to be a meddlesome person.

He gazed at Risty. Does she value mobility? Risty’s armor had the color of her skin considerably visible. Neck, armpit, navel, legs, Risty’s brown skin is too dazzling to Yuuto’s eyes.

If she’s silent, just looking at her would make you uneasy with her appearance, Yuuto looked at the wasteful body of Risty. On that Yuuto, Risty began to talk after taking out the two swords on her waist.

「When you glared at me, I felt power in your right hand. You have talent. I will pull it out」

Yuuto’s eyebrows twitched from Risty’s words. He didn’t take out his treasure tool that time, Yuuto looked at the captain in front of him.

Yuuto’s heart *Katan*3 moved.

「What? Don’t worry. I’ll go easy on you. I’ll go bare-hands against you…」

「No, please be serious」

*Gacha Gacha*4, says Risty’s armor during warm up, Yuuto grumbled. Risty’s eyes looked at Yuuto as if saying ‘what are you doing?’

(If this continues it would be a ha.s.sle. Let’s silence this person)

It’s a good opportunity. This level of an opponent is just a practice game. It’s a good chance to not let her walk against him again. Let’s test this on her, Yuuto slowly spread his hands.

「…Hou」

That moment, 16 blades suddenly appeared around Yuuto, Risty’s face ceased to move.

「It’s my favorite, it’s name is 『Floating war maiden Rossweisse the sixteenth』56 …If it’s Captain Risty, she won’t die right?」

Yuuto’s face shows a grin, Risty extend her hand on the sword on her waist.

「Good. Let’s practice」

That time, Yuuto saw.

The fourth place in hero rankings shows a smile as if she enjoys it.

◆　　◆　　◆

「Are you serious!!」

Yuuto can’t belive the spectacle in front of him.

『The floating maiden the sixteenth《Rossweisse》』is one of the easy to use treasure tool that Yuuto created.

Drifting afloat around Yuuto are sixteen large swords. All of them had been given physical and magical cutting power effect, instead of Yuuto attacking, each of them had an autonomous movement in attacks.

Each one of them is a G.o.d Tier treasure weapon. Those sixteen cooperate to protect Yuuto.

It’s an autonomous automatic protection treasure tool. It’s abilities are intense, inside is a struggling high school student, there’s only one answer.

「Hahaha! Good!! Why are you hiding your ability? You’re more than I expected!!」

Then, that answer is right.

Even so, there’s n.o.body who would be able to touch Yuuto as long as there’s the sixteen floating war maidens.

However, that is.

「Bulls.h.i.+t!!」

There are some in the world.

The floating 16 war maiden we’re smashed in front of Yuuto’s eyes. Yuuto was unable to endure, he let a defensive treasure tool with physical and magic resistance appear.

It’s the same as what Asuka wears, Necklace version. Yuuto retracted his head.

Gaze, the unbelievable sight is in front of the eys.

「Ahahahah!! What’s wrong!? With this, the remaining will be just twelve!!」

Dance.

Yuuto was not able to see the speed of the blade’s attack, Risty avoided it like she’s dancing. It’s not even a paper-thin difference, it’s as if the blade is pa.s.sing through Risty. There’s some minor impact and scratch but Risty’s armor receive it instead.

Yuuto finally understood why Risty wears lightly.

It’s unnecessary for the girt in front of him.

(S-she’s a monster!? In the first place, how can she receive the treasure tool with an A+ physical power!?)

Even if Risty’s sword is on a treasure tool grade, It must tie. If this isn’t Risty’s taijutsu, then he doesn’t know what it isーー.

Not. Before Yuuto who’s thinking, Risty grinned.

「A very fine sword. Since you don’t mind it being broken, I won’t hold back. And, remember this as a lecture. …The blade is meaningless if the tip doesn’t touch」

*Baki* Along with Risty’s joyous expression, the sound of his treasure tool being smashed up reached Yuuto’s ear.

「Seven remaining」

Her face was too bewitching that Yuuto forgot oneself momentarily.

One moment. He relaxed for a moment. The autonomous war maiden, even just a bit, received their pract.i.tioner Yuuto’s heart.

Instant. Far shorted than 1/60th of a second.

Between that, the remaining floating war maiden were all smashed, Risty attached the sword on Yuuto’s nape.
