Chapter 43 (1/2)

A new female Hero (1)

「…I don’t feel convinced」

Trishulia castle. Seeing the certificate being received from the windowm Yuuto spoke while frowning.

The hero services certification.

Yuuto-sama.

Praising your achievements we shall give you points.

「Even it’s called point it doesn’t make sense…」

Yuuto’s eyes stare at the certificate’s sentence.

We will raise your ranking.

886th→878th

「T-this is too small…」

Yuuto shakes his shoulder, Asuka is lying down laughing. Unable to endure it, she beats Yuuto’s shoulders.

「Hi, Hihihi. Isn’t that good? Y-You don’t want to stand out right? …Pukuku」

Tears acc.u.mulate on the corner of Asuka’s eye, Yuuto squinted his eyes.

Certainly, just like Asuka said, Yuuto doesn’t care about the ranking. However, even that said, Yuuto wants to gain something as a fruit of the life and death struggle he had.

「Well, it was a combination of captain Risty and me. It was reported on the society that it was captain Risty that subjugated but it would’ve been better if it got a bit higher」

「Eeeー. Did captain Risty manage to do it? If I didn’t go up at least I want her to drop lower」

While seeing Yuuto complain, Asuka breathed out while grinning. Though it’s said that Risty reported to the higher-ups, the points are a different story.

(This time, I’ll do something on captain)

Swearing in his mind, Yuuto put away the certificate on his pocket.

「Oo, what’s wrong everyone? …Ah, certificate? How was it?」

They’re going back after their business finished, Yuuto’s ears jumped hearing a familiar voice.

Turning around, the brown colored blonde haired commander raises her right hand while walking.

The character ‘Pervert’ was written on her stomach, Yuuto vomited a thin sigh.

「There’s nothing going on. Far from waste of time, the country was close to risk1 Despite that, I’m like a volunteer worker」

Risty guessed the circ.u.mstances from Yuuto’s sulking face. She approached the two people apologetically.

「Sorry about that, It’s my fault. …In exchange, I don’t mind you doing as you like with me」

Risty brought her lips close to Yuuto’s ear. Startled, Yuuto’s face blushed, Asuka draw her scarlet sword.

The dog collar disappeared and a scarlet sword appeared on Asuka’s right hand.

「Can you get away?」

「Oi Oi, that’s dangerous. Everyone’s looking, take it away, take it away」

Asuka looked around the surroundings hearing Risty. Certainly, the people in the castle are surprised at the trio.

The one digit hero rank. Asuka of the same corps points her sword on captain Risty. It’s strange if they don’t mind it.

「S-sorry」

Noticing the glances too late, Asuka puts away her scarlet sword in panic. Risty scratched her head to the shameful Asuka.

「…You, whenever it comes to Yuuto」

「It’s not!! You’re just abusing your authority!!」

Risty folded her arms in front of the blus.h.i.+ng angry Asuka. Since Risty doesn’t understand love affairs at all, this kind of things makes her tilt her head.

「Oh, Isn’t that Risty?」

The moment Risty tilted her head there was a voice from her back. Hearing the polite voice, Risty turned back.

「Hm, Oh! Thunderbolt and Ruby. on your way back from subjugation?」

Risty raised her right hand with a smile on the two figures. Hearing the name from Risty’s mouth, Asuka’s eyes was surprised.

「Yes. I was having some expectations as it was an A-rank request but it turned out that the opponent isn’t that much. It was enough with Ruby alone」

The two people’s left side.2 Is a blonde girl that speaks proudly. She’s carrying a bow on her shoulder perhaps. Still, that’s a huge trophy. But, aside from the appearance and characteristic of the weapon, Yuuto had his eyes surprised.

Blonde ponytail. She’s small but not to Risty’s extent.

That’s okay there. The problem is the cover that exists in her face.

(…E-eyemask?)

The mask was made of leather, it covers from her nose above. There’s no design on which you can peep from the gap. With that, you shouldn’t be able to see anything, Yuuto stared at the girl named Thunderbolt.

「Is that so? Well, if it’s the two of you then it probably is. …Then, I’m going back to work, so」

Risty sent a fleeting glance at Yuuto. Risty bowed and left smiling, Yuuto noticed that Asuka is trembling on the side.

「Asuka-sama?」

Yuuto watched the two in front of me as Asuka is frozen solid. Not just Thunderbolt, Yuuto knows at glancer that the woman called Rubi isn’t a normal person either.

「…Oh?」
