Chapter 44 - Successful Capture?One evening, in a room prepared by Ritone, Nady approached him with a stern expression.
「I"m thankful that you saved and cured my mother. But, that doesn"t mean that I like you.」
Nady declared in a cold manner.
「Are you serious! Even though I desperately saved your mother!」
「I don"t like your forceful att.i.tude. I hate that you"re trying to obtain me even though you don"t like me.」
Nady transmitted her clear refusal.
「B-but, you will...」
Ritone feels uneasy about the future.
「Fuuun~. That I, one of the heroines, will fall into the hero’s harem, will swindle the hero, and destroy the world, is that the story you"re telling me? Therefore, you"re taking me away from the hero? Please don"t take me for a fool. I"m not a doll.」
「... But...」
「Please don"t decide on things selfishly. That"s a violation of Human Rights. I"m not a Choroin. Because loving you, will absolutely never happen!」
[Daily: I made a note about this before, but as a reminder, it"s "A girl who seems oppressive at first glance and hard to capture but is surprisingly easy"]
Being told that, Ritone gave up.
「I-I understand... To have troubled you so much...」
Ritone, thinking that he had failed to change the future, reflexively looked up to the sky.
「But, to pay back debt of having saved my mother.」
「Eh?」
「Though I don"t like you, I will cooperate with you. Is that good enough?」
With that, for the first time, Nady showed a smile.
Three days later
Ritone’s fully recovered, and the «Copper Rank» Lilliput left.
「Well then, excuse me.」
「Hero-dono, I"m truly indebted to you. Rest a.s.sured, I will attempt to push Littlette towards you, but it will take some time.」
The «Copper Rank» Lilliput who came to see them off bowed his head apologetically.
Littlette had not left her room since then. She also had her meals in her room, but she didn"t show her face.
「No... please don"t scold her so much. The reason is that I also said something impolite to her.」
Ritone lowered his head apologetically as well.
「Then...」
「Please wait a minute!」
Right as Ritone was about to board the carriage, a high-pitched voice rang out.
From the entrance of the mansion, Littlette came out with a large bunch of baggage.
「What are you trying to pull, leaving without me?」
Littlette pinched Ritone cheeks with her pliers.
「It hurts, it hurts... Eh, didn"t you not want to be my fiancé?」
「I don"t wish to, but being proposed in front of the crowd by the savior of the «Copper Rank» Lilliput, how could I reject!? If I did, I would be called ungrateful for the rest of my life, it would be impossible to become a bride anywhere!」
Stating it with displeasure, she forced her way into the carriage. The «Copper Rank» Lilliput and va.s.sals looked at her with joy.
「Also, calling me a wicked woman who will destroy the world, it cannot be helped that I lost composure, don’t you think? For now, I will be by your side, carefully observing. If you turn out to be evil, I will cooperate with the hero and destroy you!」
A pair of pliers were clicked in intimidation.
「I-I understand… Then, it’s a pleasure having you.」
It was difficult to say whether or not Ritone had captured and obtained the two heroines.
