Chapter 22: 22. Kumiko

The first thing that came out of my mouth was.

" Sorry ?.

- I said I challenge you to a mock battle.

Looking into her eyes for 2 seconds, I turned my gaze to Kiriko who only gave me an apologetic look.

'this idiot'

Kumiko's quality in the game, although he was an NPC was very competitive and had many competitions with kiriko, thus giving a couple of points to the attributes passively, for every 2 hours if you paid a few coins for it.

in the game, my sister thanked her a lot, but here I already want to curse her.

" because?

-because you beat kiriko, that's why I want to check it.

"Only for that reason? that's a lie, we were evenly matched at best, and he didn't use mana, if he had he would have lost in 10 seconds.

Although it was a lie, ren lost to avoid the public eye, even if kiriko had used mana in that fight, ren would have managed to fight and continue, too bad he still had to check it

(hey narrator, don't give me spoilers on my novel)

Please, author, it's obvious.

(yes, but still)

okay.

then without knowing everything I just spurred Kumiko said

-kiriko told me, he said that although you fought evenly, he knew you had a pair of aces in hand.

"As I said before, that's a lie, I would have lost if I used mana, neither more nor less, now if you'll excuse me I have to go, in the supermarket today Saturday the bacon is on sale.

As he walked away, I heard a devil's whisper enter my ear canal.

- And if I give you money for the fight?

" wait to?

Kumiko smiled that stoic face he usually keeps at work, he had it in his palms.

- I said I'll pay you if you beat me without my sword being able to touch you.

" done.

while the 2 headed to the center of the room previously prepared at Kumiko's request.

there were 2 pairs of eyes shining in understanding.

Kumiko's point of view:

my name is Kumiko, just like that without a last name, slaves are not given the last name.

I was sold as a slave by my drunken stepfather at 3 years old because I owed to pay the debts, they sold me.

because according to my mom, my green eyes were like my grandmother's and surely my future appearance too, my mother also agreed with her husband's decision, in the letter they left next to me she said so.

They took me to a nobleman, who collected girls to be future servants of his unborn child, we were about 10 girls, and I was with them for a couple of years, I saw them as sisters.

At 4 years old I was able to have some reasoning about my situation, not that I am a genius, but I already had some idea of ​​what was happening.

one day walking I heard how in a room there were sounds of applause and muffled moans, I went to see who it was, and it was the nobleman of the house being glued to the maid, although I did not understand what that was, I knew they were busy and I left, another day I saw the wife of a said nobleman with a young servant.

After that, I asked one of my sisters what that was and she just told me

"haha, that's what we got with the boss's son.

so I started to investigate, as there was bad security, being there for 2 years, you learn some tricks, and I sneaked from my room to the main house where the library was, seeing in the library some images similar to what I saw, I got scared, not because of what it was but because of the result, the result was a baby, my mother said that only big girls, those who are married and love their husbands, will be able to have a child.

but in the book it was more specific, when I found out that this would touch me in a few years if I grow up, I got scared and wanted to run away.

days later, taking advantage of the fact that we went with the chief maid to the capital to buy provisions since the mansion was in the forest, I tried to sneak away and found her.

- Hi little girl, what's up.

"Please help me miss, they want to sell me.

It was Naomi Hakuya

-oh, could you explain me in detail.

and I told him what I saw in the mansion.

but the head maid found me and took my hand, before I left, Naomi put a stone in the pocket of my maid outfit and told me with her lips.

- I will be back-

Although I didn't hear her voice, that's what I felt she said.

When we arrived, I knew that she would receive abuse like all girls every time we make a mistake, while I waited in my room for the head maid to arrive, she never appeared.

from my room, I heard the screaming voice, and after 30 minutes Naomi appeared with knightly clothes and a bloody sword, seeing the blood scared me, but the sweet look calmed me down, and she saved me from that place and gave me a job as a servant in his family.

After a month I was introduced to a boy, Kiriko Hakuya.

In the beginning, I only saw him as a country boy that I have to take care of as my job, I had to educate him in etiquette, I learned to fight with him, I learned magic with him, I learned many things and most importantly, I learned to smile.

after all these years I learned what love is, but I learned it too late, recently he will be engaged to another girl, a brunette with a haughty look, and every time they met she looked at Kiriko with contempt, too bad I'm in room B And I can't be by her side

When I saw the qualifying fight against that ren boy, I knew he hadn't had this much fun in a long time, not even with me now, to avoid hurting me he holds back in fights, no matter how much he says no.

I want to learn from that boy, I want to know how to fight for Kiriko to smile at me like that.

So I challenged him, imagining that when he says yes, I can finally be in Kiriko's sights, I love him, I love Kiriko, I can already see him abandoning that black-haired woman and asking for my hand.

"Ren Artega, I challenge you to a mock battle now.

-Sorry?

'Is he such an idiot that he doesn't listen or what?'.

"I said I challenge you to a mock battle.

-because?

' really ?.

"Because you beat Kiriko, that's why I want to check it out.

-Only for that reason? that's a lie, we were evenly matched at best, and he didn't use mana, if he had he would have lost in 10 seconds.

'liar'

"Kiriko told me, he said that even though you fought evenly, he knew you had a pair of aces in hand.

-as I said before, that's a lie, he would have lost if he used mana, neither more nor less, now if you'll excuse me I have to go, in the supermarket today Saturday the bacon is on sale.

'just because of that!?, that's why he rejects a fight!?.

' Without him, I'm fried, what can I offer a man? , my body?

No

Never

my body belongs only to kiriko

If he is talking about supermarket discounts, then he means that.

'I got it.

"And if I give you money for the fight?

-wait to?

I smiled a little instead of the stoic face I usually keep at work, I had it.

"I said I'll pay you if you beat me without my sword being able to touch you.

- done.

perfect.

I glanced at Naomi and she in understanding made a sand-like space appear.

putting me face to face with the boy, the first thing he said to me was.

- you should block the view of the spectators.

" because?

- Because I don't want to embarrass you in front of Kiriko.

' What did he say?

Does he think he can embarrass me just by matching kiriko?

ha

Even though I can't beat him, he could always hurt Kiriko, and he thinks he can't hurt him?

well, if he likes he wants to play '

"as you like.

signaling to the headmistress, walls appeared around us, blocking us from everyone, including the headmistress.

- perfect.

"Alright, you can start.

You are reading story An npc who just wants to live in peace without getting into the plot at novel35.com

Before I start, I have to ask you something.

" tell me"

- Do you do this just for his love?

' that.

" what did you say?

- I said, are you fighting to make me look at you?

"I don't understand you, can you explain yourself?

the boy rolling his eyes told me.

- It's obvious, we barely saw each other today but you have it.

" that I have?.

- the eyes of a maiden in love.

"You can stop talking nonsense, Kiriko is my teacher.

- If you say it.

when he was putting me in position, ren did too, knowing that his style is for defense, attack first, but when my thrust was about to touch his chest.

- I'll ask you again.

'how the hell'

there was my sword stuck in the ground, and a sword pointed at my neck.

- Do you do this just for his love?

'shut'

- or you have some goal in mind.

" shut.

take out the sword and hit back.

but there was no one behind me.

----

"I ask you Kumiko, why do you want to fight?

As he spoke, Ren blocked his attacks, although Kumiko's sword was a kiriko-like sword and focused on speed and strength, it couldn't help but be blocked and deflected.

she was getting bitter, and it didn't help that ren kept asking the same question

" Why are you doing this?

"What do you gain from this duel?

Or are you telling me that you have no goal?

With each question he asked, she put more force into her attacks, but she was running out of energy.

Ren felt sorry for her, he knew it from the game, he knew that Kumiko was crazy about Kiriko, although the game didn't say it directly, I guess.

They have been together since they were both 5 years old, they have been together for 10 years, and Kiriko is also the protagonist of a harem game.

in the stages of the game, she was always there, she was always carrying things and doing housework, even when they traveled to other states or territories where kiriko was invited, she was behind him, waiting in case he did housework home.

Kiriko was an idiot in that sense, if he tried to boil water it would burn him, and the water would end up all evaporated.

when the heroines were there near him, she would always be doing some task at that moment, although it is not uncommon for servants to be present in whatever their masters are doing, she was not alone in those moments of coquetry, and although for the players would not be strange, for the current ren now knowing the customs of this world it seemed strange.

as they clashed swords, they both exchanged glances.

" You love him?

- He's my teacher.

and another clash of swords.

"You love him?

-He's my teacher.

"I am not asking you as a servant, I am asking you as a man, do you love Kiriko Hakuya?

after several more crashes.

she cried tired.

-I love him!

- I remember him every day, I know I love him!

- I do everything for him, at some point I just thought he was just my lord, but I ended up falling in love, I want him for myself, I want to hug him, I want to be by his side, but it's impossible, he will marry another woman because of the state of to be the future king.

- Now that I answered you, are you happy?

after more furious clashes on her part, they both distanced themselves.

Ren stood up straight holding the sword pointed at the ground, but not leaning on it.

"Then fall in love with him, don't be an idiot trying to support him like that, instead of doing it indirectly just by being behind him, fall in love with him and then declare yourself, if you can't make him understand that you love him, then give up on this, you won't be able to do anything if you You wait behind him for him to look at you.

They both stared at each other, each with his thoughts.

and so.

-" hahaha-

they both burst out laughing

- I'll keep it in mind.

"I hope so, why don't I repeat lessons, so it's better to finish this right?

both getting into position once more, Ren with the sword on his shoulder, and Kumiko holding his sword with 2 hands, they both launched.

Kiriko's point of view:

These days Kumiko behaved strangely, she felt lost after that night after qualifying while we were training.

- why are you smiling kiriko?

" I'm smiling?

- Yes, you do, what is today's occasion? any statement from any girl?

"Today there were 4 love letters after school, but that's not it, do you remember my fight this morning?

- Of course, everyone saw it, you fought wonderfully, and your movements were beautiful and polished.

"Well, my opponent, do you remember him?

-That guy, what does he have?

"What is your opinion of how he fought?

-Well, I don't know, he looked weak, at least from what I heard from his previous fights, they call him the lucky swordsman.

"Well, it's not like that, he is a swordsman, yes, but I don't know if it will be luck, I saw pure planned movements, even him as his opponent who slipped in sweat, even that was analyzed in how his opponent was, he has a great technique.

-so much so?

"Yes, in my fight with him I felt it, I felt that he was still holding back, that he still had more to give, despite being a manaless, I wanted to fight him again.

- because what you say?

"Because I think that if we train more, I will get to have my martial arts better polished.

-oh, and why don't you challenge him again?

Why would he tell me no?

- seriously would reject the opportunity to relate to the emperor's grandson?

"Well, yes, if I turn down the chance to be ranked first and prefer to be alone, I do think he would turn me down.

- I decided.

" that?

-I will challenge him and make him teach me and then I will use his teachings to learn with you.

"hahaha, don't worry Kumiko, it's not necessary, at least I like practicing with you.

Although I told him, he took care that I challenge him, I challenge him and my aunt agreed, and they locked themselves in a cube to fight, I hope Ren doesn't hurt him, I don't want him to get hurt.

After 30 minutes while he talked and waited with the girls, they came out of the cube where Ren and Kumiko were locked.

Ren had a calm look as always and was tired?

It was surprising to see the subject that equaled me tired, so much that he moved inside the arena?.

but without a doubt, the strangest and biggest surprise that I took in my whole life were the following words of Kumiko.

-Master, I will go with Ren to learn more from him and I will return when he has learned enough.

' "huh?" '.
