Chapter 174: Evena hero (1/2)

There’s a nice smell

Senpaiour conversation The faint fragrance of her hair ise

Noherself She told s like how herbut unreliable

Or how she respects the girl who faces her duties as a priestess head on, even though she is still se who’s married, she realizes that even in another world, even if the husband is strong, men are still controlled by their wives

She’s surrounded by enjoyable co well, for the most part

As one would expect

In the Li like de their dissent at the idea of nobles being treated as superior Senpai tellstheir plans

Doesn’t this mean that she’s involved in politics as well? I’ht, someone who’s been a hero froure in the country is really soet curious about the other hero as well

Hibiki-senpai hasn’t given me too many details about him

She told me it’s best if I meet him and talk to hi about the hero of the eed

It becareeed back into a smile and our topic of conversation ht

Oh yeah

The question of how she met Beren and becaood to hear it from Senpai herself

I’m a little interested to kno outsiders other than e ended up switching topics to Tomoe and Mio as well as a lot of discussion about Reet to ask much about that kind of stuff

「Ah, Hibiki-senpai When you cae, how did you come to know Beren –」(Makoto)

BANG

「Eh?」(Makoto)

I let out a stupid-sounding voice in response to the violent opening of the door

Standing there, holding a tray of drinks is Mio

Huh, Mio didn’t have to bring the them

Wait, Tomoe is there as well

She suddenly pokes her head out from behind Mio with a sry?

I lassy look

Her reaction to seeingwith other wo some sort of fit?

「You two, I’m with a visitor What is it, all of a sudden?」(Makoto)

「My apologies, Waka I said to Mio that we should wait at least until your thighs were touching, but it seems that your shoulders were the li as she directs her eyes at the gap between hs?

Shoulders?

Uoh!

Now that sheabout Senpai was initially just sitting next to me, but now she’s really close to !

I was so engrossed in our conversation that I didn’t notice!

For us to have been talking while this close without , I feel like I’ve been rude towards Senpai

In any case, now that I’ve noticed, I put some nor a fit, these are indeed circury, yes

I don’t have that kind of relationshi+p with Senpai, and eren’t talking about anything romantic

「Ah, err Sorry, I didn’t notice that kind of thing because I was so caught up in our conversation I need to apologize to you as well, Hibiki-senpai」(Makoto)

「」(Hibiki)

Huh?

There’s no response fro at Mio

「 Hibiki, it’s been a while, hasn’t it?」(Mio)

Mio?

You know Senpai?

There’s no way that’s the case, huh

They’ve never been in contact with each other

「It has been some time, Mio-san Because Raidou-san turned out to be Misumi-kun, I was half in doubt, but I suppose “Waka-sa to him after all」(Hibiki)

「You don’t need to tell irl who repaid kindness with ingratitude, you know, Hibiki? I’, so I’ll let you choose Your left arht Which of them do you not need?」(Mio)

?!

Arm?!

「Mio! I was careless! Calm down! This person is ic and caught up in talking about the past, that’s all, I’ she is saying!

This isn’t her usual light-hearted anger

It seems that Senpai and Mio are acquainted with each other, but what is this?

And what did she

If I recall, I heard from Mio that she learned some recipes sie

But Senpai didn’t say a single word about

Hive me this tray」(Tomoe)

As To in silence

Oh, Torees of enthusias, I’ll tear off both of them」(Mio)

「Mio, stop!」(Makoto)

I’ve been sitting between Senpai and Mio fro, so I don’t need to move

I stand up where I am and face Mio

Why does there have to be bloodshed over such a s a more modest lifestyle than most men in this world, you know?!

「 Waka-sama」(Mio)

Mio finally stops in her tracks

Even so, just by being in this rooe

I can’t relax

I’ll deploy ic power armor in an invisible state so I can protect Senpai just in case

Senpai stands up quietly behindsun shi+ning through the

We started talking just after noon, so we talked for quite a while

「Mio-san, I had no intentions of doing anything to him Despite my appearance, I a out with a guy, anyway」(Hibiki)

She’s perfectly right

To be a hero and still have time to flirt with a lover, you’d need to be very skillful indeed

I’m not even one of her party members; if Senpai and I were to date, it would have to be a long-distance relationshi+p, right?

Not that there’s any way Senpai would consider someone like me in the first place

「Hero? I couldn’t care less about so you have no interest at all? Your expression said differently earlier Weren’t you being quite flirtatious?」(Mio)

Couldn’t care less, huh

Nor before your eyes telling you “I’m a hero”

However

Th-that’s quite a cold tone

What do you mean by “flirtatious”, it’s not like we’re anie to breed

「I was able to meet my cute kouhai, that’s all The sword that I received when I met you, Mio-san, I came to have it repaired and happened to ht! It was a coincidence! She is acquainted to you and Beren for some reason, and she happened to come to the Kuzunoha and ran into me by pure coincidence! Do you understand?」(Makoto)

「 For over three hours?」(Mio)

「Uh, e got caught up in talking」(Makoto)

「Waka-sas that went for three hours you would fall asleep Yet you had an enjoyable conversation that you got caught up in for even longer than that?」(Mio)

Guh

The times I fell asleep just coincided with the times when I was thequite malicious today

But I’m sorry

I’ll be careful

「Really, I’m sorry I lost track of the time This person and I have a senpai-kouhai relationshi+p, nothing more」(Makoto)

「Yes We went to the same school, but we barely even knew each other’s nah social position in that world, so I got ahead ofinconsiderate of you, Mio-san, I’m sorry」(Hibiki)

Hibiki-senpai lowers her head

I don’t know the relationshi+p between the two, but is Senpai the weaker one?

If theythe babysitters in the wasteland?

I won’t know if I don’t ask about it later

Thought transmission is blocked, so I can’t ask anyway?

It’s pretty hard to gain Mio’s favor here

I’m quite depressed

「」(Mio)

「Look, you’ve said this ry forever」(Toht trans on you either, but I can assu Also, there are a few things that I would like you to sample, so let us head to the mansion」(Mio)

「I-I see Well, then, Senpai Please take care on your way to Lorel」(Makoto)

「 Yes Joshua-saet in touch with you, so would you please contact him in the near future?」(Hibiki)

「Ah, I understand I’ll do that in a few days’ time」(Makoto)

「Please do」(Hibiki)

「Waka-sama!」(Mio)

Mio’s voice is sharp

I have to hurry

「Let us be on our way He shouldn’t have given her that sword, mumble mumble」(Mio)

As I walk towards Mio and To at the door that renched open, Mio starts to rushinappropriate, too

That sword of Beren’s, Mio had so to do with it as well, huh

「Waka, please leave the hero in my care Allow me escort her back」(Tomoe)
