Defiled Hero Chapter 050

「That was the final test. I was sure you didn't like me so you ran away... That's right. Izayoi isn't the type to just lie and run away. Sorry, I doubted you.」 (Tsuyuha)

「That's because I'm not the type to lie.」 (Izayoi)

Tear looked at the scene, and seemed to be saying, 「Ichayoi, liar,」 but it actually isn't a lie this time.

「But, you made me worry. Doing that kind of thing is bad okay?」 (Tsuyuha)

「Yeah, I'll be careful.」 (Izayoi)

I make sure to not agree to what she says.

「Um, Izayoi, this is?」 (Anya)

「This is the cat-eared Tsuyuha. She seems to be the successor of the hero.」 (Izayoi)

「I see. Tsuyuha-san, good afternoon. I am Anya. Nice to meet you.」 (Anya)

「Ah, Anya-sama... Nice to meet you too.」 (Tsuyuha)

「No honorifics please, just call me Anya.」 (Anya)

「B, but... Alright. I'll be in your care, Anya.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Yes, me too, Tsuyuha.」 (Anya)

Anya touched the face of Tsuyuha to confirm. The two seem to get along, and now for me.

But what to do. If I'm followed around by Tsuyuha, I can't act freely, and the story will become confusing. I wonder if there's a good way out.

「So that's how it is. On the way to the capital you met Fiere and Izayoi.」 (Anya)

「That's right. And my first job was to make sure these two get to the capital safely.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Protect, you say. What exactly do you plan to do?」 (Anya)

「That's right. I wonder what kind of jobs he would want.」 (Tsuyuha)

「I hope for a job where I can sleep all day.」 (Izayoi)

「That's not work though,」 Tsuyuha muttered in amazement.

Hearing Tsuyuha's words, Anya looked a little downcast.

「Even though my work is to manage this church, I have never actually done any work. On the contrary, I've been helped by everyone...」 (Anya)

「Th, that can't be helped. Some people are meant for certain things. Anya is fine doing things Anya can do.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Things I can do? For example?」 (Anya)

「Eh... That is...」 (Tsuyuha)

Tsuyuha's follow-up put herself in a hole.

Tsuyuha is originally weak-willed. She doesn't seem to have a good plan. I'm not on board with it, but should I follow up?

「It's fine for people that can't do anything to just not cause any trouble.」 (Izayoi)

「I only cause trouble for other people. This isn't good...」 (Anya)

「Yeah, it's not good at all.」 (Izayoi)

「W, wait Izayoi, what are you saying!」 (Tsuyuha)

「I'm actually annoyed... That face annoys me. It's that permanent smile and good feeling. It really is annoying.」 (Izayoi)

「Izayoi... That's true. My mother said it often it before. If you are being nice to people, don’t apologize. Smile with a "thank you." I seem to have forgotten. Izayoi said something similar to what my mother used to say.」 (Anya)

As she said so, Anya turned towards me and smiled.

「Thanks.」 (Anya)

「...Hmph, I'm still annoyed either way... So, continuing from earlier.」 (Izayoi)

「What to do from now on. Right...」 (Anya)

「*Hawawa,* oniichan. Fiere had a great idea!」 (Fiere)

Fiere returned from searching around inside the church while we were talking.

「I said it before. It's not a good idea.」 (Izayoi)

「*Hawawa,* oniichan, you know what Fiere is thinking?」 (Fiere)

「I don't understand at all. But, when you say you think of something good, it's never actually a good idea. Therefore your idea is rejected.」 (Izayoi)

「Isn't it fine? Let's hear it at least.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Um, Fiere-chan?」 (Anya)

「*Hawawa,* Fiere is here.」 (Fiere)

Fiere seemed happy as Anya touched her. I put forth the good idea I remembered, as the two were a bit too into it.

「Fiere is really interested in this church. It was "hawawa, hawawa."」 (Anya)

「Two "hawawa," huh. That's a high evaluation.」 (Izayoi)

「Does a "hawawa" have some sort of value?」 (Tsuyuha)

Tsuyuha doubted it, and unfortunately I don't know about it either.

「There are many flowers at the entrance to the garden, Fiere wants to work here forever! Wrapped in the scent of flowers, the scent of oniichan... *Hawawa, hawawa hawawa.*」 (Fiere)

Fiere put her hands on her cheeks and started wiggling around.

「That's your idea of a good job?」 (Izayoi)

「Not just that oniichan. This is the main point. Oniichan and Tsuyuha-onee-chan are worried about what to do from here on, right? So work here at the church. That is, Tsuyuha-onee-chan wants to help people doesn't she? Then the church is the best place to be.」 (Fiere)

「It seems to be true when you put it like that.」 (Izayoi)

「It can't be helped that oniichan is worried about Anya-onee-chan, so he can be at ease because he's nearby... Is this good? Onee-chan.」 (Fiere)

Fiere muttered in a small voice as if to confirm it.

Even if Fiere doesn't give the name, there's only one "onee-chan" for her.

「Um, Izayoi? Are you listening?」 (Anya)

「Yeah, I'm listening. You can't see, so you wouldn't know even if I was staring up your skirt the entire time. Certainly. You would never realize that.」 (Izayoi)

「*Kya*... My, Izayoi. That's not what I was saying. You weren't listening after all.」 (Anya)

She held her skirt with both hands, and her face turned red.

「Sorry. You wearing black underwear was beyond my expectations. I was sure it would be white...」 (Izayoi)

「Izayoi... You too, Tsuyuha-chan. You could have told me.」 (Anya)

「Sorry. I thought you knew Izayoi was looking up your skirt, so I didn't feel like I had to say anything.」 (Tsuyuha)

「You have to say those kinds of things. How embarrassing...」 (Anya)

「I didn't think having your panties seen was something embarrassing, sorry.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Hm? Tsuyuha-chan, you don't think it's embarrassing?」 (Anya)

「Um, I don't get why having your panties seen has to be embarrassing.」 (Tsuyuha)

「Eh?」 (Anya)

「Eh?」 (Tsuyuha)

Tsuyuha and Anya were confused. Apparently Tsuyuha needs to be told what is supposed to be embarrassing.

Pulling Tsuyuha to another place, Anya was told by Tsuyuha, 「I'm the successor of the hero. I have to train a lot to catch up to the hero, Being embarrassed from having my body seen by other people means I need to train more. I have no reason to be embarrassed,」 and that she didn't understand the reasoning behind strippers.

To Anya who was confused as to what to do with the girl, Fiere took her hand and spoke gently.

「Tsuyuha-onee-chan is a bit odd in the head, don't worry about it too much.」 (Fiere)

「...Y, yes?」 (Anya)

Sheesh, muscle heads are troublesome.

『You're one to say that.』 (Astrea)

(TN: She wants to what? How does one Hawawa with someone?)

「You want to save people in trouble, right? You don't have to help me in particular. Rather, would you lend me a hand?」 (Anya)

「Of course. But, is it alright?」 (Tsuyuha)

「Yep. Because I'm the manager of this church. I don't want to just receive everyone else's kindness. There's space, so you can live here too.」 (Anya)

「*Hawawa!* I want to live here, want to live here! Oniichan, let's make this our love nest!」 (Fiere)

「That's right Izayoi. We've finally found a good place, so let's stay here.」 (Tsuyuha)

Things proceeded without my permission.

『This is karma for you trying to run away you know.』 (Astrea)

The entrance of the church. There stood a blond-haired boy holding a large spear, Grey.

「...Even though you say Zenesys is forgiving and big-hearted, the leader of the knight order is quite small-hearted.」 (Izayoi)

「Will that foul mouth not go away until you taste some pain?」 (Grey)

「So, what're you going to do. Do you want to try?」 (Izayoi)

「What spirit.」 (Grey)

「Stop it! Do you think it's good to harm those that don't resist!? You're the leader of the knight order!」 (Tsuyuha)

I looked toward Tsuyuha, and spoke calmly.

「Tsuyuha. This is my problem. Be quiet and watch.」 (Izayoi)

「B, but...」 (Tsuyuha)

Even as she appealed to what I said, she glared at Grey with her hand on her sword, ready to move at any moment.

I'm not in a pinch here. What good fortune. There is no salvation in this world. Then, it's fine if I help.

That's right, everything is a chance.

「You are a knight. Shouldn't you act like one then? I am no knight, but I'll accompany you for a bit.」 (Izayoi)

「Like a knight? ...You, are you saying you'll fight me?」 (Grey)

「Yeah, that's right.」 (Izayoi)

「I thought you were a bit smart, but it appears you're just another fool. Challenging the Emperor-rank me, you must be insane.」 (Grey)

「I am very much sane.」 (Izayoi)

「W, wait, what are you saying Izayoi!? That's no good! There's no way to win! You can't overestimate my ability!」 (Tsuyuha)

「I know myself the best. There's no problem.」 (Izayoi)

「There is a problem!」 (Tsuyuha)

「*Hawawa,* the blond-haired boy became a problem.」 (Fiere)

「H, hey, let's not fight.」 (Anya)

「Anya-sama, unfortunately I can't obey that. Both Zenesys-sama and I have our honor. He's bought himself a duel.」 (Grey)

As I said that, Grey prepared his spear.

「I am Emperor-rank, and the leader of the knight order. Are you sure?」 (Grey)

「Yeah, just like that.」 (Izayoi)

「It's a duel then. As the leader of the knights, and as a retainer of Zenesys-sama, I bet my pride. What will you fight for?」 (Grey)

「Let's see. If I win, then you'll have no complaints with me. If I lose...」 (Izayoi)

「If you lose?」 (Grey)

「I will never show myself in front of Anya and Zenesys ever again.」 (Izayoi)

「Are you sure?」 (Grey)

「Yeah.」 (Izayoi)

「Then, no going easy. I'll fight you with everything I have. I will not shame the name of the knights.」 (Grey)
