Chapter 106
d.a.m.n it Rito, why do you have to tempt me with star guardian Soraka… I know this was like last month, but still… Thanks for reading~
After returning to the inn, Kureha and I took hot water and cleaned our bodies before making love.
Even I, who doesn't mind the sweat and smell of a woman, had it a bit tough with embracing Kureha when she had been showered with plenty of the immortal knights' blood.
Kureha is sleeping.
From the fatigue of her escape, the relief of meeting me, the pleasure from s.e.x, and so on, she must have not been able to maintain her consciousness.
She fainted while climaxing, and is sleeping comfortably.
"To think that Kureha would become like this." (Kearuga)
It has been a long time since Kureha and I made love.
It seems she was quite lonely during the time we were separated, so Kureha was unbelievably disordered and was seeking me.
She has a beautifully proportioned figure, and yet is in a good state.
She gladly accepted the things that Eve and Co. who have stamina, cannot do. It was an extremely fun time.
Her sleeping face is also lovely. I softly brush her prideful silver hair. It feels good and silky.
"… Good grief, I can't believe it. That Bullet is helping another person. I always thought his exterior side was good, but I didn't think it was to this extent." (Kearuga)
I had received an envelope from Bullet addressed to Freya and I from Kureha.
I look at the letter and the many doc.u.ments he created from investigating, and hold my head in my arms.
Especially the letter addressed to Kureha.
… It's flooding with consideration to Kureha and self-sacrifice, and makes it look like that shotdedicated psychopath h.o.m.o is a good person.
In reality, he must be a good person in Kureha's eyes. He's her father's friend and a kind, gentle old man.
Apart from the distorted inclination towards boys of the same s.e.x, the man called Bullet is cla.s.sified as a good person. However, that one fault is fatal.
There's no way I could forgive him.
"s.h.i.+t! Dioral King! You f.u.c.king s.n.a.t.c.hed my prey." (Kearuga)
The revenge plan against Bullet I was thinking of has become nothing.
My original plan was to use myself as bait.
In the first world, as if it was his favorite quote, he would always call me cute. He kept chanting that I was the ideal boy and was attached to me.
In short, by just appearing in front of him with Kearu's appearance, he will probably try and make me his own no matter what methods he takes.
Once he obtains me, he will try to strike his own s.e.xual desire into me.
… The moment he exposes a gap like that, I'll shoot my specially made paralysis poison into him and slowly enjoy my revenge. If I do that, I will easily be able to make him powerless and my excuse for revenge will be perfect.
That was how it should have been.
However, if I were to believe Kureha's story and Bullet's letter, it means that Bullet has already become like the knights.
It's pointless to take revenge on such an empty, living corpse that doesn't even have a fragment of himself and is just a ruin of what he once was.
As if my hatred will settle from just breaking a puppet that just moves and doesn't feel fear, pain, despair, nor hatred!
I want to take revenge on Bullet, that crazy psychopath shota h.o.m.o. Engraving a trauma in him, and making him go insane from just looking at young boys. My revenge will only be accomplished if I corner him that far.
s.h.i.+t, even though I redid it at great pains, to think I can't take revenge on the one I want to take revenge on the most.
As if I can allow this unreasonableness!
"No, remember. Would that man easily fall to the enemy's hands? That man would have surely done something. I already knew about his tenacity and habit of not giving up." (Kearuga)
Tenacity to definitely not let prey he has aimed at escape. He survives through any hopeless situation.
I don't know any man that is more tenacious than him.
I learnt many things from looking at that man's back.
Being wary and thoroughly prepared are things I obtained from him.
In other words, Bullet is my target of revenge while also being my teacher.
Would Bullet do exactly as someone like the Dioral King wants? That must be a joke.
Furthermore, he
"I definitely won't let you escape. Bullet. Until I finish breaking you, my revenge won't end." (Kearuga)
He is probably seeking me as well.
Surely he's seen at least a portrait of Kearu. And being interested in it, he searched my footprints.
There's no way he can't fall for me. There's also no way he won't seek me either.
It's annoying to admit it, but in a way, we have *mutual thoughts. We strongly seek each other.
I want to quickly met you. Bullet. (TL Note: *can also mean mutual love.)
I wait for Kureha to wake up.
I’m not going to wake her up, since she is quite exhausted mentally and physically, so I'll wait for her to wake up naturally.
Even if【Recovery Heal】can heal her body's fatigue, it can't heal her mind's fatigue.
I should stay quiet for now.
During that time, I repeatedly read the doc.u.ments Bullet left.
He did quite a good job investigating this much.
*The connection between the demon king and the demons, the important human who is thought to be polluted. (TL Note: 魔王と魔族の繋がり、汚染されていると思われる要職の人間。)
The Dioral King's specific plan that he has towards world domination.
And the interaction between Kureha and I.
Through me, he is trying to bring the distress of the Dioral Kingdom to princess Flare.
But there is something that bothers me.
It's the doc.u.ment regarding【Heroes】.
A【Hero's】meaning of life is written on it.
Not the adventure stories and myths that have been talked about, nor what people desire, it's about what role heroes fulfill in the world.
If this was officially announced, it would result in a death penalty.
It's blasphemy towards【Heroes】.
However, it strangely makes sense while reading it.
I ended up a.s.senting to the meaning to why the world brings forth heroes.
As a【Hero】, I just can't help but a.s.sent to it. The hand that's turning over the page naturally starts moves faster.
What came to a halt in my eyes next is the entry where he wrote about the system of【Heroes】.
Standard facts regarding【Heroes】.
1. Only ten can appear at the same time in the world.
2. If a hero dies, a new hero is born.
3. Being chosen as a hero only happens when you grow of age and receive your cla.s.s.
4. A level limit doesn't exist for heroes.
5. Two times the normal experience points is given to the parties that heroes are in.
6. Releasing another person's level limit by giving them body fluids is possible. The success rate of s.e.m.e.n is high. The success rates of things other than that is extremely low.
I also know this much.
The problem is the continuation of this.
7. In case a hero dies, on average, it will take two years for the next hero to be chosen.
8. During the period of time in 7, if there is someone compatible with a mark that a dead hero possessed appears, there is a possibility for them to be elected. … According to the past doc.u.ments, people that have qualifications can be drawn in by heading to a singularity points.
I didn't know about these two.
In a different doc.u.ment, it states what a singularity point is, and it is like the place where I obtained my【Jade Eyes】, where the spirit and the human world is connected.
The importance of the course of the stars is the same as when I got【Jade Eyes】.
I spread a map. I carefully read Bullet's doc.u.ments, and plot several singularity points.
And then, I calculate the cycle of the stars and choose one place among the singularity points that has the best timing for the course of the stars.
"No way, it's fifty kilometres ahead and we have to reach it by the day after tomorrow. … And the hero that is dead right now is【Sword】. Is it a coincidence?" (Kearuga)
A singularity point that coincidentally is in a position where we can reach it, we can coincidentally reach it in two days, and the one that is dead is coincidentally perfect for Kureha,【Sword】. There isn't anyone more worthy of【Sword】than her in this world.
It feels intentional when it is to this extent.
I hear a sound from behind me. It seems Kureha has woken up.
"Good morning. Kearuga." (Kureha)
"Good morning. Kureha." (Kearuga)
As expected of spending intense time together, Kureha is being bashful.
And then, she pesters me with her eyes. I wryly smile, and pile my lips on hers.
Kureha is a spoiled child.
"Kearuga, I have one request." (Kureha)
"… Is it about heroes?" (Kearuga)
"Yes, I will fight together with you from now on. I can't leave the Dioral Kingdom alone. I am inadequate to fight together with you right now. …Therefore, I want the power of a hero. Even after looking at the doc.u.ments priest Bullet left behind, there weren't any singularity spots nor times when they would appear. But I thought if it's you…" (Kureha)
I have already read it carefully.
I am hesitating because I only found one place that we can actually reach after deciphering it, but if we don't reach it in two days, there are no other options except waiting for the a year or waiting for two years.
In short, it's as if the time and place is being specified. … To put it simply, it's extremely easy to set up a trap. It feels like I'm being called over with evil intentions with fake information.
However, quite advanced knowledge is required to decipher it.
In that aspect, setting up a trap is quite a high gamble.
"I understand. Let's go. Look at the map. As far as I've seen from the course of the stars, a singularity point will appear tomorrow night, fifty kilometers from here… and if we let go of this chance, the next time will be in a year's time." (Kearuga)
"It seems I have to go." (Kureha)
There was a light of determination in Kureha's eyes.
Even if the possibility of it being a trap is high, I can't let go of a chance to make Kureha a【Hero】.
We have no choice but to go.
Even if there is a trap, I will deal with it.
"We will depart tomorrow morning. There's time until then. Let's make love. I'm feeling like I still haven't connected with you enough." (Kearuga)
"I was actually thinking that too. I didn't say it because I didn't want you to think I am an indecent woman." (Kureha)
Kureha immediately rests her body weight onto me.
There's a sweet smell.
"I like indecent girls more. Let's make love at once." (Kearuga)
She nods while blus.h.i.+ng.
And then, I push her down and indulge in her lips.
Even if it's a trap, it doesn't matter. If there is a trap, I'll tear through that trap and make them regret trying to set me up.
