Chapter 205: Takatsuki Makoto gets embroiled (1/2)

Sponsored Chapter!

“Oi, Rozes Hero, why are you together with my little sister?” (Geralt)

Woops, we have encountered a problematic one.

“Gera-chi, what’s the matter?”

The one who peeked her head at the back of Geralt-san was a familiar brown skinned exotic beauty, the Fire Hero, Olga-san.

…What a peculiar combination.

“N-Nii-sama, you were together with Olga-sama, huh.” (Janet)

Janet-san was slightly agitated, but responded calmly.

“Oh? Janet-chan~. Are you together with a man? What a girl, ui ui~.” (Olga)

“O-Olga-sama? Are you drunk?” (Janet)

“I will be getting drunk from here on☆.” (Olga)

Was Olga-san this kind of character?

“Oi, Rozes Hero, are you listening?!” (Geralt)

“Aah, yes, I am listening~.” (Makoto)

Oops, my brain just froze there.

“Let me in. That’s fine with you, right?” (Geralt)

“G-Go ahead.” (Makoto)

Doesn’t sound like I can refuse anyways.

Since there’s the chance, let’s get along better with two Heroes.

They are both scary people that beat me up real bad in the past though.

But…

“Nii-sama, can you please go over there?” (Janet)

“Wa?! Janet?” (Geralt)

Janet-san said in a cold tone, and Geralt-san took a step back as if taken aback by this.

“Gera-chi, you shouldn’t do that. Getting in the way of your little sister. See ya, Janet-chan, Rozes Hero-san~.” (Olga)

“O-Oi.” (Geralt)

Olga-san dragged Geralt-san away.

Eh? We are not gonna be eating together?

“Sorry about my brother.” (Janet)

“Is it okay to not eat with them?” (Makoto)

“It is okay!” (Janet)

“I see… By the way, Geralt-san and Olga-san get along well, huh.” (Makoto)

“It seems like they were fighting closeby at the battle with the demon lord army, so it was since then… They have interacted with each other in the past though.” (Janet)

“I see.” (Makoto)

“Olga-sama has been staying in the room of my brother for a long while as of late…” (Janet)

Janet-san said awkwardly.

“Staying long…?” (Makoto)

“Yes. As in, till morning…” (Janet)

Janet-san glares at me as if telling me ‘get it already’.

Aah, till morning huh!

Eeeeeeeeh?!

Geralt-san and Olga-san were in that kind of relationship?!

I didn’t know…

I glance at Geralt-san and Olga-san who are sitting slightly further away from us, and it is more like Olga-san is the one who is proactively approaching him.

Geralt-san is looking as if he is finding that annoying, but he is conversing with her as if having fun.

They are most likely compatible with them being battle junkies and all that.

Ah, Gera-san glared at me as if going ‘hah?’.

I hurriedly avert my gaze.

“Takatsuki Makoto, isn’t the matter of my brother fine already? You are together with me right now.” (Janet)

Saying this, Janet-san held my hand.

…The eyes of Geralt-san grew even sharper.

“Janet-san, are you drunk?” (Makoto)

“Fufu, I haven’t drunk that much.” (Janet)

She says that as she places her head on my shoulder.

Aah, this is the same move as Lucy when she is drunk.

Hmm…I am scared of looking at where Geralt-san is.

I say that, but with Perspective Change, I glance for a bit at the seats over there…and Olga-san was making Gera-san drink.

He isn’t looking over here.

Safe safe.

“Takatsuki Makoto, your mind is elsewhere.” (Janet)

“…That’s not true.” (Makoto)

“Please look at me.” (Janet)

She placed a hand on my cheek and my head was made to face Janet-san.

Janet-san’s head was on my shoulder, so her breath was so close it could reach me.

Her glossy blonde hair brushed my face.

Her long eyelashes and slanted eyes on her beautiful face was looking up at me.

“You have time today, right?” (Janet)

She whispered in my ear.

“…Well, a bit of time.” (Makoto)

“Then, keep me company, okay?” (Janet)

I did make her accompany me to the sudden visit of Esther-san.

Refusing this would be unfair.

“…It is okay.” (Makoto)

“Fufufu, I have gained consent.” (Janet)

Janet-san said something ominous which made me feel slightly uneasy. Her cheeks are slightly pink, so it is just her being weak to alcohol, right? Just when I was thinking about this…

“…What are you doing?”

A cold voice like that of a blizzard.

At the opposite side of Janet-san.

Someone had sat on the neighboring seat.

Who is it?

Before I could confirm, my arm had been taken and my body was pulled over to that side.

After that, I finally managed to turn and confirm her face.

“P-Princess Sofia?” (Makoto)

“I have been searching for you, Hero Makoto.” (Sofia)

The Water Oracle that had an icy smile had a tight grip on my arm.

Could it be that she is alone?

I thought that, but a number of knights were standing at the entrance.

“W-Why are you here?” (Makoto)

“You were taking too long to come back, so I came to get you. Now, let’s go back.” (Sofa)

No, I was asking how you knew I was here.

Ah, Nina-san is making a face of ‘crap!’ and hid her face.

So Nina-san was the informant, huh.

(She did say she wouldn’t be telling Lucy and Sa-san, but she didn’t say she wouldn’t tell Princess Sofia…) (Makoto)

Nina-san is the wife of Fuji-yan.

Fuji-yan is a noble of the Water Country.

If she were to get asked by the royalty of Rozes that’s the superior of her husband, she would have no choice but to answer…

Princess Sofia and Janet-san are currently glaring at each other with me in between.

“Oh my, Sofia. Right now Makoto and I are having a meal. Can you please not?” (Janet)

“You must have had it rough being entangled by a weird woman. Now, let’s leave, Hero Makoto.” (Sofia)

“A restrictive woman ends up having her man run away, you know?” (Janet)

“Can you please not try to wile my fiance?” (Sofia)

“Oh? He said that he would be accompanying me until morning. He already promised that.” (Janet)

“?!”

The face of Princess Sofia snapped my way.

We didn’t promise till how long though.

“L-Let’s have a meal with us three!” (Makoto)

I am the employed Hero of the Water Country.

Moreover, Princess Sofia is my fiancee, so it should be better to listen to what she says, but I told Janet-san that I would keep her company, so I didn’t want to go back on my word.

“If Hero Makoto says so…” (Sofia)

“Can’t be helped…” (Janet)

I thought I would get scolded by this, but the two accepted it.

A-Alright!

I will have them eat tasty food!

“N-Nina-san!” (Makoto)

“Yes, Takatsuki-sama!” (Nina)

Nina-san who was checking out the state here all the time came flying.

“A drink for Sofia!” (Makoto)

“Already prepared!” (Nina)

I ordered a drink, and for some reason, a drink was already placed.

“Sofia-sama, it is the usual!” (Nina)

“Oh my, thank you very much.” (Sofia)

Ooh!

Princess Sofia ordered ‘the usual’!

She is a regular! (I don’t think that’s the case though)

Nina-san already has a grasp of what Princess Sofia likes, huh… That’s impressive.

“Takatsuki-sama, the food will be coming out soon!” (Nina)

Saying this, Nina-san hopped and disappeared deeper inside the place.

…I feel bad for making her go through this.

I should apologize to her later.

“Here, Takatsuki Makoto, your glass is feeling lonely.” (Janet)

“Hero Makoto, come closer here.” (Sofia)

“Sofia, aren’t you acting in an improper manner as a princess?” (Janet)

“What about you, Janet? Trying so hard to seduce someone.” (Sofia)

“What?” (Janet)

“What is it?” (Sofia)

“Now now now.” (Makoto)

I hurriedly try to calm the two of them down.

…Is this going to be okay?

A meal with the rare combination that is Princess Sofia and Janet-san had begun.

◇◇

“That’s why Hero Makoto doesn’t take time for me at all!” (Sofia)

“You have it tough, Sofia. Hey, Takatsuki Makoto, you are a contributor in the Demon Lord subjugation, so how about you settle down?” (Janet)

“Janet, I had the wrong impression of you. I am sorry for saying you were an overdue woman…” (Sofia)

“There’s no need to say it every time. Father complained to me just a while ago after all…” (Janet)

“Should I introduce you to someone, Janet?” (Sofia)

“…Someone stronger than Geralt-niisama?” (Janet)

“…Can’t you do something about that condition?” (Sofia)

By the time I noticed, Princess Sofia and Janet-san had gotten along.
