Chapter 3: Capture TargetToday, I had breakfast with my father and mother.
Last night, I had slept soundly after that so I woke up well. I woke up with a grin on my face though.
I couldn’t help but think that Calfan did not consider the kiss as a greeting and so my maiden heart was tightening.
「By the way, Audrey.」
「Yes, Father.」
「The work of the bodyguard attached to you will be resolved in a few days.」
「……Eh? What do you mean?」
N-no way. Was yesterday’s kiss exposed?
No, no. In a world where love is prosperous, I do not think my parents will get angry at such things.
「The Gainas firm case has been settled. Calfan and his colleagues did a good job and the connection to the underworld was exposed. Last night, the people involved in the crime were all round-up at once. With this, Audrey’s body is safe and even if there is no bodyguard, it will be alright.」
「So that……」
Last night, Calfan had gone to make the arrest.
I became lonely and looked down.
「What’s wrong, Audrey?」
「No, I just feel relieved. With this, I can live with a peace of mind.」
I forced myself to smile.
That day, throughout the whole day Calfan seems to have been busy as he had gone out many times. As for me, occasionally glancing at that form from the shadows caused me to become infatuated all by myself.
I was somewhat embarra.s.sed and couldn’t talk to him face-to-face.
Then, while wandering around from a distance, I was caught by Calfan.
「Wait」
「Kya」
With both hands on the wall, I was enclosed.
Ha? I-is this, the so-called Kabedon?
With the route blocked, Calfan’s beautiful face was right in front of me. My breath was caught. My heart was thumping so loudly I thought it would jump right out of my mouth.
Before the happily embarra.s.sing play, my hands and feet stopped working and I earnestly turned bright red.
「C-Cal」
「Why are you running away?」
「I’m not running away.」
I unintentionally closed my eyes.
「Do you dislike me so much that you do not want to see my face?」
「That, that’s not it.」
When I opened my eyes in surprise, Calfan laughed.
Kyaー, cool ikemen, Itadakimas.h.i.ta (Another form of Itadakimasu)! Gochisousama desu!
「I will be waiting tonight too.」
Calfan whispered and brought his face close to drop a kiss on my forehead before leaving.
「……Forehead kiss?」
I went completely weak in the knees and collapsed by sliding down against the wall. I tightly grasped my hand against my chest to placate my incessantly throbbing heart.
That evening, I visited Calfan’s room again. Today, there was an answer to the knock and I was let in. He was talentedly wearing a tight shirt that adventurers usually wear and loose trousers. He seems to have finished showering and I could smell the soap we use at home. It’s the same one I use. It’s somewhat embarra.s.sing that we have the same smell.
Calfan is as expressionless as ever as if he’s forgotten what happened during the day.
Yes, it is slightly hateful.
「Well, sit down, Miss (ojou). Do you drink sake? I’ve also prepared a fruit alcohol that Miss (ojou) can drink.」
In this world, everyone drinks alcohol, which isn’t strong, even from childhood.
「Ara, thank you. Itadakuwa. (Another form of Itadakimasu)」
I reply while pretending to be calm.
With a refreshing scent and a yellow colour, I was handed over a fruit-juice-like alcoholic drink. He seems to be drinking a strong alcohol similar to whisky.
「The case has been solved, right? Thank you, Calfan. With this, I can live with a peace of mind.」
「That’s just work, you know.」
「Is this a toast then? Until now, you haven’t been drinking alcohol, right?」
「That’s right. Because I can’t let my guard down, I refrained from alcohol. Today I received a day off.」
「I wonder if the adventurers gathered for a wrap-up party.」
「Aa, they excitedly went to the bar」
「……Because of me, sorry, everyone got placed in a troublesome position.」
「Because it was the request of a young miss (ojou), the work was prioritized.」
That being said, Calfan’s lips started coming apart at the seams.
It’s rare. Usually the smile of the cool Calfan would have blown me away.
No way, have I completely fallen in love?
I became red, but not because of the liquor. Calfan, who is relaxed, crossed his legs and tilted his gla.s.s while observing.
Though I’m happy to be with Calfan; it is embarra.s.sing. I wonder why I feel like disappearing.
「Miss (Ojou)」
「Yes!」
Because I was startled, he unintentionally leaked a laugh.
「So then, about yesterday’s discussion……Who on earth are you planning on sneaking around with?」
Aa, that’s right. I inadvertently forgot.
Consulting with him, whom I love, how can I be embraced by a man I don’t like, that is to say.
I want to cry a little. Is it because my feelings are still shaken?
「Are you alright?」
「Ah, yes, fine.」
Because I turned red and then became pale, did you worry?
Unintentionally, my eyes were drawn towards his lips. I think it’s a natural reaction.
I looked away unnaturally.
「Well, there are 5 candidates. I clearly know about 4 of the people but there is insufficient information on one of them.」
I put the paper I brought on the table and began to write.
「Chief Magician Raizel-sama, Knight Greyder-sama, Aristocrat Alvin-sama, Court Intelligence Division’s Neil-sama. These four people.」
Everyone is beautiful and extremely popular with the women.
「……I see. There’s no woman who will refuse a lady-killer’s advances.」
「That is so, however……」
Truthfully, I haven’t fully captured the game. However, I made it to end of these 4 people. That is why I am aware of what kind of H scenes these 4 people will have……
「Are there any problems?」
Eeh, There are.
However, if you had to do that in reality……
「Please say if you know something because of your power of foresight. Otherwise, the discussion can’t move forward.」
Ehn, I have no choice but to say it?
Can you talk about this? To the person you like?
Were you affected by me, as somehow Calfan’s ears also started to redden.
「A, uhm……Magician Raizel-sama puts effort into training demons and developing black magic tools, right? That’s why… Raizel-sama… then… uses slimes to crawl inside the body… and tentacles to tease… That… shameful tool… is used on women…uhm..so……」
Ee, that is a great affront, you know! It’ll turn into you being made to say,『No more, I’ll break』.
「……」
Yes, Calfan-sama became silent. Ueen.
「Next is Knight Greyder-sama. However, because of his terrifying stamina, for 3 days and 3 nights, you will not be able to get out of bed. You won’t even be able to get water or eat or faint because of the perfect management of Greyder-sama……」
It’s going to be like a living h.e.l.l. You’ll go crazy with the pleasure that’s close to being a torture course.Enough already, is what you’ll say next!
「Aristocrat Alvin-sama has a very s.a.d.i.s.tic side. In the beginning he’ll slyly be sweet but gradually his true nature will be revealed. Tying up with blindfolds and embarra.s.sing words such as blame me and let me serve you……Finally, before your eyes, more men will join in while watching excitedly……」
「I understand, and the last?」
「Court Intelligence Division’s Neil-sama, as you know, has descended from werewolves and so has excellent physical abilities. Although it is good that his love runs deep, once he has targeted a woman, he will confine and a.s.sault her. In the desire to monopolize her, she’ll not even be permitted to catch the attention of other men. Her feet will be bound by chains and even the tendons will be cut to prevent movement. In the end, he’ll transform into a wolf and commit b.e.s.t.i.a.lity……」
「Is there no normal man?!」
I’m sorry it’s not a normal game!
