Defiled Hero Chapter 016

Defiled Hero

The Gryphon, the Little Girl, and Sometimes Lilia, Part 2

「Uuu...... Hiu...... Noooo.」 (Little Girl)

As I traced the body of the young girl, she let out a tearful cry.

「Quiet. You’re going to feel good, stay still.」 (Izayoi)

「No...... Don’t tease.」 (Little Girl)

「Oi, I’ll use force if you struggle...... Don’t struggle......」 (Izayoi)

「*Ku-Kuke? Kukeke?*」 (Rigolo)

As I turned my head, Rigolo had his wings covering his face, peering through his feathers with a ruffling sound.

「Rigolo, I’ll be was.h.i.+ng you afterwards.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kuke!?*」 (Rigolo)

The little girl who didn’t like being washed that was being watched by an amused Rigoro had an expression as if asking, “Me too?”

「The monster smell all over Rigolo was the cause of all this right? It’s to be expected.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kukeke......*」 (Rigolo)

「Uuu...... Stop already.」 (Little Girl)

Having finished was.h.i.+ng the girl’s body, next was to wash her head. I put shampoo into her silver-colored hair and carefully washed her animal ears.

「Alright, next is a haircut.」 (Izayoi)

With a knife in hand, I called the girl over. However, after being thoroughly cleaned by me she was clutching herself in fear, trembling and refusing to move.

「If you stay naked you’re going to get sick. Let’s hurry and cut your hair so we can get you dressed. 」 (Izayoi)

Although it was beautiful, her hair was unclean and permeated by a foul odor. Since she was inseparable from Rigolo, it was inevitable.

As her hair absorbed the water, it had lost its soft feeling. Her thighs were trembling as she hugged her tail while looking at me with fearful eyes.

「Like I said before, from now on I’ll be was.h.i.+ng you... If you’re not being a good girl, then I’ll be annoyed. Well then, how about was.h.i.+ng your body one more time?」 (Izayoi)

「I-I’ll be good...... Doing again, don’t want.」 (Little Girl)

「Then hurry up and come over here. I’m just going to cut your hair. Don’t worry. If you act like a good girl from now on, I’ll only wash you once every two days.」 (Izayoi)

「......Two days, one time?」 (Little Girl)

She really doesn’t like being washed, does she? ......seems like I’ll have to use threats like when making her go to sleep. With regard to once every two days, she reluctantly agreed.

She sat on my lap as I sat on the chair, I began cutting the uneven and unkempt hair with a knife. Every time I cut a part of her hair, a noise could be heard. She twitched in fear.

While its master was afraid, the gryphon seemed to have been enjoying himself.

「Rigolo, I’ll be cutting your body hair afterwards.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kuke!?　Kukekeke!?*」 (Rigolo)

「Well then, things seem to be a lot better.」 (Izayoi)

Her hair now reached her shoulders and was evenly cut. I had also gone out in the morning and bought a robe for a young magician for her to wear.

「It’s because you’re a tamer who can command an A-rank monster. If you don’t have the look of one, you’ll be made fun of.」 (Izayoi)

Could she be uncomfortable with the clothes? The girl was expressionlessly staring at them.

As usual, the girl’s ears drooped with a light noise.

I placed my hand on the girl’s head, and gently rubbed it. She twitched in surprise, but looked at me with a curious expression.

「You’ve become rather pretty.」 (Izayoi)

「.....Tear.」 (Little Girl → Tear)

I see. That’s her name, I guess? She wrote it down while I rendered judgement upon Rigolo.

「Tear, until I wash Rigolo, can you be patient?」 (Izayoi)

「............Not here.」 (Tear)

「What isn’t?」 (Izayoi)

「Rigolo..... not here.」 (Tear)

「Eh?」 (Izayoi)

Confused, I looked at the spot where Rigolo previously was, he was definitely not there. I looked around the room and wasn’t able to find him.

Then came a sound from the entryway.

「*Kuke!?*」 (Rigolo)

“I’ve been exposed!” was his reaction. The previously stealthy Rigolo who was moving towards the entrance began to forcibly make his way outside.

Feel like running, huh? As if I’d let you. Although I was chasing after him, he was going to run so he could open his wings to take off.

Rigolo was headed straight towards a person. Not good. At this rate he’ll collide with them before he takes off.

Since Rigolo was keeping watch on me, he couldn’t see where he was headed.

「Haa! So you’ve come to kill me! It’s too soon! It’s too soon for me to accept my destiny gryphon-san!」 (Lilia)
