chapter 27
27. glass (2)
I needed to think about the word order again.
‘Raven’s. Victory. is that?’
I didn’t know what Raven’s nationality was, but I had never seen anyone talk like that.
Still expressionless, Raven looked at us while holding Yuri’s handkerchief with her thumb and forefinger like tongs.
It seemed I wasn’t the only one confused.
First of all, Yuri seemed to panic about the fact that he had been captured, and Kane’s expression was as if he were looking at an unknown creature.
When we didn’t say anything, she tilted her head slightly to the right.
Apparently, they were waiting for our reaction.
“Uh… yes… Yuri… That… Raven won, right?”
I woke Yuri who was standing there in a daze.
“Ah… yes! That’s great, Mr. Raven. Mr. Raven’s victory is right.”
Yuri finally seemed to come to his senses at my words.
Yuri seems to have played the game to show off her abilities, but when she was caught, she seemed embarrassed.
“By the way, it’s great. Mr. Raven. I haven’t felt any presence since you disappeared. What was that just now…?”
Raven paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
Of course, the actual movement of the mouth was not visible because of the mask.
“…it’s a trade secret…”
and. I really can’t get used to it.
If her original tone was like that, I thought it was possible to rationally suspect why she couldn’t speak.
I thought it might be a bit difficult to communicate with people.
But first of all, since we are party members, Yuri and I tried our best to laugh and not criticize each other in a good way.
Didn’t the homeroom teacher emphasize it? It’s important to be friendly.
Kane looked at us as if we were trying hard.
hey. I want you to join in too. Don’t look behind you.
“Yes. Can we hunt now?”
Kane asked Yuri if he had read my thoughts or if he just wanted to change the mood.
“Ah, that’s right! Then, I’ll show you a little bit of my special skill, and since I’m feeling relaxed, let’s all start hunting!”
Kane seemed to have touched a bow quite a bit in his hometown, but his form was alive when he pulled the string.
On the other hand, Raven and I were beginners who had never held a bow before.
When I was taught by Yan in the middle of the demon realm, I had never received a bow, even though I had been taught swords and spears several times.
And to be honest, I thought it was threatening enough from a long distance even if I couldn’t shoot a bow at this level of magic.
Yuri kindly taught us how to hold a bow.
With a sloppy posture, we were instructed on the basics for about an hour, but the results were not so good.
On the other hand, Kane seemed to have succeeded in hunting a baby deer the size of a raven after running around and shooting arrows.
“hahahaha. Did you see it? Guys. This is the difference between you and me.”
Seeing Kane boasting to us with a very satisfied expression made my head hurt already.
Can we really get to know each other? i think it’s unreasonable
“Oh, Mr. Kane. You’re doing quite well. It looks good for dinner tonight, doesn’t it?”
“You have eyes! I like it!”
They were two people who got along well.
Having conversations like that made me feel like a social misfit.
Honestly, if pure hunting was the goal, it would have been enough to burn the entire area with magic.
However, Yuri was asked to refrain from using magic or other specialties, as today was the day she had prepared.
I thought that way was more suitable for the purpose, so I dared to hold on to the bow and struggled.
He sighed deeply and looked at the bow skill of the raven next to him.
Unlike Yuri’s arrow, which cuts through the wind sharply, Raven’s arrow, which drew a parabolic curve without force, crashed to the ground.
No matter how I looked at it, it seemed too weak.
Raven’s body was that of a slender girl.
Those small, fragile hands that seemed like he’d never shaken his fist properly proved him.
“…that’s not going well…”
That’s what it looks like.
It was a strangely addictive tone.
I’ll try using it in front of Luna later. I already pictured Luna with a disgusted expression in my head.
After laughing and chatting with Kane for a long time, Yuri came back to teach me the bow.
“Now, Mr. Sirius, I’ll show you again! If you can confirm the target in this way, pull the string as hard as you can. Shoot!”
I did as I was told, but the arrow kept missing the target.
It was me who had come.
“This time…!”
After several consecutive attempts failed to hit, Yuri came behind me.
He put his hand on mine and corrected my posture.
I thought it was a small hand for a man.
But… I felt a little strange sensation on my back.
Yuri’s chest touched my back, but it was much softer than I thought.
It was a body that seemed to have strong muscles, but this feeling through the uniform…
I felt like I couldn’t concentrate better when I was giving guidance directly to my body.
This unknown feeling bothered me so much that I paused the map for a moment.
“Wait a minute, Yuri.”
“Ah yes.”
Yuri had an expression that asked if there was something wrong.
“Is it okay if I check just one thing?”
“Sure~ Are we members of the same party?”
okay. That’s right. then.
I raised my hand and grabbed his chest.
Oh, it’s as soft as I thought…
Yuri’s brain seems to have stopped. It hardened on the spot.
When there was no reaction, I stopped shaking my hand and gave my honest opinion.
“Um. That’s fine.”
good. If you act as if nothing happened in this state, nothing will happen.
Yuri’s skin, as if the petrification had been released, suddenly turned red.
His pale skin made the contrast more dramatic.
“You… you unscrupulous bastard…!”
He who screamed for the forest to leave. no it was her
Kane, who was aiming for the next prey from a fairly long distance, and Raven, who was holding his bow in a daze, stopped moving and looked in our direction.
Fortunately, neither of them seemed to hear what was said.
“Follow me!”
Yuri dragged my wrist and brought me under a large tree out of sight of the other two.
After looking around, she confirmed that Kane and Raven were nowhere to be seen, and then closed the distance with me.
“how did you know!”
You do that, I don’t know how.
“Ah… that… it reached…”
I thought it would be rude to say where I reached.
In fact, I already answered the question and did something even worse.
Yuri turned to tears.
“I haven’t let anyone touch it before… huh… cee…”
She stomped her feet, wondering if she would die of injustice.
And I don’t know if it’s because I know that I’m a woman, but it was a voice that seemed to be two heights higher.
It seemed to be the original voice.
To Yuri, who seemed furious, there was one thing I had to ask nonetheless.
that’s right.
“Why the hell are you pretending to be a man?”
I was so curious that I couldn’t stand it.
To be honest, I thought the talent I had was at a level that deserved recognition.
I haven’t shown it all yet, but her bow skills are excellent, and her speed is incredible.
She was not at the level of being ignored as a woman.
Her answer was completely unexpected.
“Because the hero is a woman.”
“uh?”
“Because you’re a hero, you’re a woman! If you want to join the hero’s party, you’d better be a man!”
I sorted out my thoughts.
Seria is a girl.
Usually girls like boys.
Boys are more likely to be a warrior party.
hmm. It was definitely a miracle logic.
I was dumbfounded and asked again.
“So. Since Seria is a girl, will you become a boy and seduce Seria into the party?”
She seemed ashamed to hear it through someone else’s mouth.
“Go… The head of the family said that!”
Not even my own thoughts.
It wasn’t long before, but looking at her stupidity, it didn’t seem like she was the type to solve things with a strategy.
By the way, the head of household is doing too much.
Did he not calculate the fact that Yuri would be caught?
“Haa… Yuri. Then let me ask you one question. What would you do if Seria thought you were a man but got caught saying you were a woman?”
“hahahaha? It’ll take something like that…”
hahahaha. Speak confidently.
She couldn’t finish talking.
I guess so. This is because it took 3 days after the rating was assigned.
Since I’m still a member of my party, I wanted to give you sincere advice.
“Yuri. I don’t think pretending to be a man is a good idea. There’s a 200 percent chance you’ll get caught.”
Bonamanna, if Luna or Seria were here, they could have noticed it sooner than I did.
“hahahaha…”
She grabbed her head with both hands and sat down on the floor.
In fact, she seemed to agree with me too.
“…What are you going to do!”
“Me? What do I do?”
I was wondering if there was anything I should do.
“You… You…! You touched my breasts! You unscrupulous bastard!”
ah. is that the context?
It was me who suddenly had an interesting idea.
“How can I do it?”
“I don’t know! Take responsibility!”
She seemed very sensitive.
“Yuri. Then let’s do this. I will never tell you that I am a woman.”
“…really?”
She looked at me with suspicious eyes.
Of course, not with bare mouth.
“Would you like me to help you instead?”
I laughed sinisterly.
Her body trembled like an aspen tree.
At first, I thought I was a bit like a demon.
