Defiled Hero Chapter 023
Defiled Hero
Twin Ninja Girls
「Welcome home!」 (Uri)
「......Welcome back.」 (Reri)
「Huh?」 (Izayoi)
After reporting the request to the guild, we heard a few voices as we made it home. In the living room were two girls sitting in seiza.
「Why are you here?」 (Izayoi)
「Since we’re your disciples we will be living with you!」 (Uri)
「......That’s how it is.」 (Reri)
「Disciple? My disciple? I haven’t given you permission though.」 (Izayoi)
「Things like permission don’t matter! Uri and Reri have already decided on their master!」 (Uri)
「......It’s pointless to refuse. Reri and Uri have decided to sacrifice our b.o.o.bs to
master.」 (Reri)
What’s with these two? First of all, how did they get in here? How did they know about this place?
「......Ichayoi. These people, who? b.o.o.bs? Are?」 (Tear)
「Ah, these people are the ones who attacked us in the forest.」 (Izayoi)
「......b.o.o.bs, are?」 (Tear)
「By the way, since I don’t know who you two are, I don’t know where to start. If you two are untrustworthy, I will cut you down here.」 (Izayoi)
「......You suddenly started speaking really fast? Since Reri and Uri are going to be with you forever, there's plenty of time.」 (Reri)
「......Ichayo-」 (Tear)
「Who are you people? Hurry up and tell me.」 (Izayoi)
「I’m getting a regretful feeling so it’s fine to stop talking! That kid over there seems pitiful!」 (Uri)
Stop it. Just let this slide.
However, since I ignored Tear, her ears sadly lowered.
「T-Tear. Since you’ve been doing your best today, I’ll give you a reward. After this I’ll read the hero’s picture book to you. Wait a bit until then. I have something to talk about with these two.」 (Izayoi)
「......Ok.」 (Tear)
Even though she had no expression, Tear’s animal ears stood up. It was mentally harsh, but the only way to forget the past is to replace it.
「*Kukkei, Kukeke.*」 (Rigolo)
「Oi Rigolo, what did you say to Tear? If you say too much I’m going to make grilled chicken and feed you to Lilia.」 (Izayoi)
Rigolo was obviously telling her about b.r.e.a.s.t.s. That’s not good for Tear’s education. Since it’s not good for her education, it should stop. Personal feelings aren’t part of this.
「*Kuke......*」 (Rigolo)
Tear and Rigolo were sent away from the room, as we were going to have a discussion.
「And so, what are you up to?」 (Izayoi)
「An explanation! Uri and Reri aren’t adventurers! We’re hired spies!」 (Uri)
「Spies, huh? If that’s the case, were you hired by the guildmaster?」 (Izayoi)
「You got it! As expected of master, who our concealment magic was ineffective against! We can’t hide our secrets from you!」 (Uri)
It’s as I thought, isn't it. Although she said she had confidence in me, it was only for an instant. It was natural to have some form of insurance.
「By that, you mean you’ve been watching us the whole time?」 (Izayoi)
「......That’s how it is. We’ve been watching you since master was dragged away from Laketown.」 (Reri)
「So you’ve been watching us since then I see.」 (Izayoi)
At that time, Lilia had dragged me away on her own, and at that time I thought she was just plain dumb. However, did she bring me along as insurance in case she needed to run away?
Since she herself might not have known, she’s still an idiot.
「Since we’ve been watching you this whole time we know! Master is not a bad person! Although you’re wielding a legendary Emperor cla.s.s weapon, we’ll keep it a secret for you!」 (Uri)
It seems like they’ve found my weakness.
「We understand master’s strength! Master’s true ident.i.ty must be a master a.s.sa.s.sin! Uri and Reri understand that we failed! We also know that you are unidentifiable and have no records!」 (Uri)
「Well, until recently I was an a.s.sa.s.sin, so you aren’t wrong......」 (Izayoi)
「......Then, we want you to become our master. There aren’t any a.s.sa.s.sins stronger than Reri and Uri.」 (Reri)
「You did say that. What are you going to do about the guildmaster?」 (Izayoi)
「......Give us permission. If master orders it, we will erase her.」 (Reri)
