Chapter 36 (1/2)

Daily lives of the female heroes (1)

One month pa.s.sed after the desperate struggle against Risty.

The mansion’s peace was restored and for some reason, Asuka’s irritated glare is pointing at me.

*Jiii* Asuka stares at the person in front of her.

The person was carrying the stew in his mouth while smiling.

Asuka began to talk with her mouth trembling.

「Why is Captain Risty here?」

Hearing that, the brown girl looked at Asuka.

「N? No, I have lots of things to teach Yuuto. Umu, this is delicious. Seconds」

Yuuto laughs at the situation and Risty held out the bowl to Sasha. Sasha smilingly received the bowl and poured the stew from the pot.

「Also, Yuuto’s wound isn’t healed up perfectly. That was my fault so I will nurse him」

Risty’s smile doesn’t hide the goodwill, Yuuto was thinking what to do. Yuuto scratched his cheek, then a vein appeared at Asuka’s temple.

「Y-You’re not needed! Yuuto is already lively! He has already recovered!」

Asuka stood up and everyone, inlcuding Sasha looked up to Asuka. The impact of Asuka’s fist shook the stew in front of them.

Noticing everyone’s gaze, Asuka blushed, then coughed suddenly.

「I-In the first place. Aren’t you the princess’ guard? For the guard captain to be in a place like this…」

「Yeah, that one’s fine. It’s not like I’m always next to the princess. I’m off duty today. The princess right now is with the vice-captain」

Asuka correct herself bashfully, Risty explained as she suck the spoon. Feeling somewhat surprised, Yuuto spoke to Risty.

「Eeh, Is that so? I was sure that captain usually stick to her though」

Yuuto knows how Risty feels about the princess. Because it’s Risty, he thought that he’d always stay near the princess. Though Risty frequently visits Yuuto, Risty isn’t seen away from the capital that much.

「…Hahaha. I have an excuse for that」

Risty looked away from Yuuto’s question. Asuka also had a question mark on her head while looking at Risty.

「At first, a.s.suming my role as the captain…I’ll always stick to her」

Yuuto said ‘Oh I see’ to the sweating Risty. To Yuuto’s amazement and Asuka’s glance, Risty moved as if making an excuse.

「N-No but. My duty is written as 『Princess’ Escort』 It’s written in the appointment letter of the princess. Also, I swore to her that 『I’ll guard her all the time』 I’m just trying to carry out my duty」

Yuuto’s smile crumbled to the rapid talk of Risty. For some reason, Risty’s forte is crumbling as she feels like running away. No, well, her forte has crumbled long ago.

「…What did you do specifically?」

Yuuto and Asuka stared at Risty’s face. Sasha too had her glance fleeting to Risty.

「I-I didn’t do anything strange! I just always follow where the princess goes. 」

「So, the specific?」

Yuuto doesn’t loosen his pursuit, Risty’s words are clogged. In addition, his pursuit is getting deeper, Risty finally gave up and opened her mouth.

「B-Bath. …Or bed?」

「That’s not all isn’t it?」

Risty trembled from Yuuto’s voice. The three people’s gaze are as if they’re looking at a criminal , Risty is trembling.

「E-even toilet…」

Yuuto throws out a sigh after hearing her words. Asuka and Sasha had their eyes look at Risty while saying ‘wow’

「A-As expected, there’s one big guy that’s waiting in front of the door!!」1

「Isn’t that obvious!!? Or rather, was there a small person inside?」2

‘What are you doing?’, Yuuto scolded Risty. In the first place, it would be embarra.s.sing for the princess even it’s in the front of the door.

「Aren’t you just a pervert!?」

「Eeeeeee I’m not a pervert!! I-It’s loyalty!!」

Risty is already teary eyed as Yuuto flared up and complains loudly at her. The captain-sama is too clumsy at love, it seems that she’s unexpectedly weak in when in love.

「Err. …Then? Were you removed as the princess’ guard?」

Asuka timidly raised her hand on the two people making noise. Then, Risty turned her sad face.

Downhearted, she dropped her shoulders.

「That’s right. For some reason, one day, the princess’s polite expression turned mad. I was removed from the guard’s daily duty. …Since then, I’m only entrusted on duties on public ceremony and when she’s going out」

Uuuuuu, Tears ooze out from Risty’s eyes. The princess’ angry roar still wounds Risty’s heart.

Seeing that Risty, Asuka looked the other side. There’s also tears difting in her.

「What’s wrong, Asuka-sama?」

「Don’t ask, Yuuto. When you talk about Risty of Dual Sovereignty, I also yearned for her」

Seeing the two people cry, Yuuto and Sasha can’t do nothing but laugh.
