The Great Sword is not the Main Body!-Chapter 65: Variable (4)

“Sister... Are you okay?”

In the quiet room, Hephaestus’s deep voice rang out.

“Of course... I’m perfectly fine.”

He answered, thumping his chest.

“...I’m sorry. But I did it to protect you and Rubia-sister... That...”

“Ugh. No. It’s okay...”

“But, I... Heuk... I... That, that kind of sister... Hmph...”

Hephaestus finally sobbed and grabbed my clothes tightly.

I don’t know what he was sorry for... But for now, he quickly consoled me, worried that I might blow my nose on my clothes again.

“Uh, uh... No... Don’t cry...! I, I’m really okay...!”

It was torn and had holes here and there...

But you mean you washed it clean in the bathroom and Rubia even dried it?

But if it gets snotty... Uh... That doesn’t mean Hephaestus is dirty... No, that’s... Anyway!

I carefully snatched the hem of Hephaestus's clothes from his grasp.

"Oh, I felt... I felt... Hehe..."

"It's really okay... Don't cry..."

With this, the 12th apology and 12th consolation began...

It's okay to cry... but I wish you wouldn't blow your nose on my clothes... Really...

"I, am I okay now...?"

"Hehe... Yeah... It's okay..."

I guess I patted him for about 10 minutes.

Hephaestus, who had been shaking his shoulders, seemed to have calmed down a little and slowly straightened his crouched body.

"But, Sister... That, earlier... That... Was it because of the shrapnel...?"

Then she opened her mouth while quietly looking down at my greatsword.

It's not necessarily because of the shrapnel, but it's just my hunting style... Hmm...

"I, am I right...?"

“Isn’t that... originally?”

...Keu-deo-

Hephaestus, who had been staring at me for a while, lowered his head and opened his mouth with difficulty.

“I see... originally it wasn’t like that, but because of the debris... huu... I understand.”

Hephaestus, who had been hanging his head for a while, quickly raised his head and shook his head.

“Anyway, what are the princess and Ruby-sister doing? It’s so quiet...”

“Um... that’s right...”

Ruby and Charlotte said they had something to do separately, so they sent me, who had just finished bathing, and Hephaestus, who had just woken up, to the next room.

It’s not like they sent me out, but they asked me to move for a bit...

They told me not to look inside the room with their sensei, so it’s basically like they sent me out.

Honestly... no one would know even if I spied with my sensei, but I held on tight because I made a pinky promise with Ruby.

“But I was really surprised. When I opened my eyes... the princess was looking at me.”

“Oh, that’s right...”

I was surprised too.

I didn’t know that a princess would be such a strange person...

And no matter how much I thought about it, the 3rd princess never showed up in the game...

And there was no mention of her becoming an adventurer.

It’s really strange.

Just like the person named Shirin who became the 10th master...

“But... is she really the same person as the rumors say?”

“Rumors...?”

“Yeah. Haven’t you heard the rumors about Princess Charlotte?”

“No, I haven’t heard them...?”

Hephaestus, who had been watching the people around him, approached me.

“Well... Princess Charlotte really likes women.”

“Well, I think so...”

“And she also has a ton of lovers...!”

“Oh, I see...”

“But what’s more strange is... Everyone who dates the princess... can’t get out. She treats them really, really well?”

“Huh...?”

For a moment, I thought back to the Charlotte I’d seen so far.

Uh...

“W-That’s ridiculous...”

That kind of pervert?!

“Really...!”

The story Hephaestus told after that was truly shocking.

He forcibly brought a woman who was living well with her husband to the palace, confined her, and did something really bad in front of her husband.

It turned out that her husband was the head of a criminal organization that forced women to work at night, and Charlotte had already found out about it and saved him...

She forced a new knight to submit, took off her clothes, and called her to a bedroom where many people were gathered...

It turned out that «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» she had gathered magicians to lift the curse on her body...

She suddenly robbed the palace's safe and stole money...

She led hundreds of adventurers to wipe out the female slave market in the back alleys...

She executed all the nobles who took poor women and committed terrible acts...

I heard rumors about Charlotte who was always indifferent to women.

"Also, the reason she became an adventurer... Before one of her lovers passed away from illness, she said that her dream was to travel the wide world, so she became an adventurer instead..."

"Really...?"

What is it... That's cool...?

“It’s just a rumor... The slave market has disappeared recently... And a lot of nobles have been executed. And-”

Hephaestus cut off his words and muttered very quietly, turning his face away.

“Just looking at you... I think the rumors might be true...”

“Me...? I’m not...”

What are my rumors... They’re really ridiculous!

A blood-drinking demon, or what was it?

A red beast that tears apart the hand of a demon...?

Huh, this is ridiculous.

At least treat me like a human!

Hephaestus looked at me with a puzzled, mysterious expression before shaking his head.

“Anyway, be careful, too, Sister.”

“Why, why am I suddenly...?”

“Just in case. And Sister, you’re so defenseless.”

“Defenseless...?”

When I tilted my head, Hephaestus crossed his arms and patted his chest as if he was frustrated.

“Yeah. It’s fortunate that Sister Rubia is next to me... If she wasn’t, really... ugh.”

“What’s wrong with me...!”

“Look at Sister now. How can someone wearing a skirt sit upright? You can see all of their panties underneath!”

“P, panties...? They shouldn’t be visible...”

“What can’t they be visible! Even if I just lower my head like this, they’ll be visible.”

I pulled up the hem of my skirt with my hand to cover it up...

First... I listened to Hephaestus and lowered my legs to gather them neatly.

But the panties really shouldn’t be visible...

How could they be seen without them...?

“And it’s more provocative when they’re barely visible.”

“Eh... Really?”

“Yeah. You can imagine whatever you want. And what... Your actions and words... There’s a lot of this and that, but anyway, be careful.”

Ah... If you have an incredible body like Rubia, I wouldn't know.

What's so great about such a shabby body... And there must be a lot of scars...

That... And to think that way after seeing my body... You're not a human, you're an animal... Ugh...

"S, no way... I'm not... a body that would be good for that."

After hearing what I said, Hephaestus suddenly straightened his back and pretended to be serious.

"Sister. There's something you don't know."

"Uh, uh...?"

"What you need to be most careful about is Rubia-"

Click-

Hephaestus seemed to be about to say something important, but the door to the room opened and cut him off.

And.

I could hear Rubia's rather calm voice.

"What is she talking about so interestingly?"

At the same time, Hephaestus' face hardened.

"It, it's just... Hephaestus was telling me to be careful of fan... um, this and that... Is Rubia finished...?"

Hephaestus suddenly started shivering, and I spoke instead, since he was just twitching his lips.

Why?

“...Yes. It’s all over. I have something to say to Noah and Hephaestus, and I’m going to sleep here, what do you think?”

“Ugh. I don’t mind...”

“I, I agree!”

Rubia nodded, looking at Hephaestus with a suspicious expression, and opened the door wide.

“Then, shall we go to the next room first?”

“Yes.”

As I got up from my seat, Hephaestus carefully grabbed the hem of my clothes and followed me.

“Hephaestus... Can we talk to me before we go to bed?”

“Heek... Ah, I understand...”

Squeak-

As soon as I left the room, Rubia opened the door to the next room.

Charlotte was still sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette.

The luggage Charlotte brought... I can’t see where it is.

“Whew... I have so much to say... First, sit here.”

I nodded and sat down on the sofa Charlotte was pointing at.

Next, Rubia sat down next to me, and Hephaestus, who was trembling, sat down, and then Charlotte opened her mouth.

“I decided to go with you guys. Just until we find Yuria.”

Hephaestus swallowed his breath in surprise.

“I’ll give you a robe that impairs your perception, so both of you wear it and go around, especially you, Pink. Be careful.”

Charlotte, who had just stubbed out her cigarette, turned to Hephaestus.

“I thought it would be good to tell you, so I’m telling you. There’s someone targeting Yuria right now.”

“Master...?”

“Yeah. He’s really strong.”

Hephaestus’ breathing became ragged.

“Black Knight Kalt. Master, if Yuria fights that guy... she'll definitely die."

"...But why would someone like that..."

"That's right. Since Yuria is the target, you're in danger too, so be careful. I'd like to leave her in this town, but I don't know where Kalt is... It's frustrating."

Hephaestus let out a trembling breath and tightly gripped the stone in his hand.

"There's more to talk about than this, but let's rest well today and talk about tomorrow."

Seeing Hephaestus like that, Charlotte shook her head and took out a new cigarette and lit it.

At that moment.

"Hey, Pink. Why is that stone blinking?"

"Huh...? Heh... Th, this light is..."

At the same time, a screaming voice flowed out of Hephaestus' mouth.

Overlight-!

From the top of the Karakhan Mountains, a loud noise was heard that sounded like the sky was being torn apart.
