'Gosh ...... gosh ...... I can't get married anymore ......'
We were a party of five, making our way through the forest.
There was one among us who was badly wounded.
Satsuki.
Unlike Irene, who was venting her anger, she had been beaten up, which made me feel even more pity for her.
'Well, well, well, Satsuki. I'm a victim along with you, aren't I? I'm sure Will didn't see it either. Right, Will?
Irene was talking to me, but as for me...
'............'.
'Wait, ......? Will, don't just shut up! I'm going to need you to talk to me!
'......' 'No, I couldn't lie to you.
'I knew you were watching me, Will! I was staring at you! Aaahhhh!
Satsuki cries even harder.
This is getting out of hand. .......
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.
Of course, now that the miracle of neutralization has been applied to her, she is in a normal state. .......
I did not, of course, take a good look at her at that time, but I could see her without looking if I looked at the battle situation, and I even heard a very s*xy voice, and it is a fact that I had trouble directing my attention.
In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, then you're going to want to make sure that you get the most out of your business.
'U-ri-am? You should learn a little bit about delicacy.
Cyril tightened his arms around my neck from behind.
This is a sleeper hold, a technique found in bare-knuckle martial arts...
I'm going to hit Cyril's waist with my hand as he hugs me from behind and tightens it up.
It's not so much that it's painful, but the fact that her feminine body is so close to me that it's very bad for my mental health. .......
When Cyril gently released me after I announced that I was giving up, I turned to her.
'Cyril, you're the one who needs to learn a little bit of decency. ......!
'......? What do you mean?
'...... No, no, that's okay. In any case, please refrain from using such techniques in the future.
'Hmm ......? William, you're looking a little red... Yeah, that's what I meant.
Then Cyril brings his face closer and closer to mine.
'What's that, Cyril ......?
'Hmmm, that's what I thought. So here's my answer. I really like to see you confused and pretty like that.
Then Cyril smiles at me in a devilish, seductive, but also shameful way.
I'm going to ...... have to go back to the rockworms and try to woo them again.
And now Satsuki, with tears in her eyes, came up to Cyril.
I'm not sure what to say. I'm the one who's embarrassed, so why are you feeling so good about yourself?
'Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. It just happened this way. If you want, Satsuki, you can watch too. He's so cute right now.'
'What?
Cyril took Satsuki's hand and pulled her towards him, then turned her around in front of his body and made her face me like a puppet doll.
The teary-eyed Satsuki looked up at me, and my gaze met hers.
It's a little embarrassing, but .......
'...... Will, cute ......'.
'...... No, you can't say that now.
I'd say that's my line.
I'm sorry to say this to Satsuki, but her childlike expression and teary eyes were very cute.
The image of Satsuki's s*xy figure was mixed with the image of her earlier, and I felt that a new charm of Satsuki was developed in my mind.
On the other hand, it was my childhood friend who was watching us and puckering her mouth like a tropical fish.
She didn't say anything at the time, but when the agony was over, she poked me in the side with her elbow, and then secretly whispered in my ear.
'Will, you've become quite friendly with Cyril-san while I haven't seen you for a while. It's not cool to have your nose all up in the air. I'm embarrassed to be your childhood friend.
'...... I'm sorry. But you can't tell me not to stretch my nose, you know.
'Oh, you're so naughty. I've got a boy on me. You weren't like that when you used to play with me, but now you've become so jaded.
I guess I can't help it. Besides, there's a big difference between you and Cyril, when you were so naughty that I couldn't tell if you were a boy or a girl.
'Oh, what's that? That's right, compared to Cyril-san, I may be as different as the Gloran Mountains and the Chimari Hills, but I've grown up a bit too!
'Oh, um, Irene, ......? I can hear you loud and clear. ......'
'Hmm, William's adultery theater is still going strong today.
'Adultery? What's that all about? Mee-chan, Master Mee, please tell us more about it at ......!
'...... Mee, if you could avoid such disturbing expressions, that would be great.
...... I think it's a good idea to start slamming things like this as soon as you notice them.
I've been trying to refrain from acting in a way that would be very wrong for a human being, but I've often wondered why things have turned out the way they have.
And then...
I'm sure you've heard of it.
Then she frowned slightly.
'...... Irene, I'm sorry, but it smells a little.
'What ......?
When Irene herself sniffed her own arms, she also vomited, saying, 'Ew.
I'm sure you're not the only one who's wondering what's going on here.
I approached Irene and sniffed her out of curiosity, but even sniffing her from a short distance made me sick.
It was a terrible stench, like a mixture of sweetness and decay.
The smell quickly grew stronger and spread to the surroundings.
The liquid on Irene's clothes and hair seemed to have lost its moisture and was beginning to dry up.
'Maybe it's the kind of liquid that stinks when it dries. ......'
'Yeah, yeah! Whoa, don't go away, guys! Even Will! That's terrible! I stink too!
'Sorry, sorry. Why don't you try dousing your head with water from a water bag first?'
'Ugh, I'll try that: ......'
Irene takes out a water bag containing drinking water from her luggage.
She then opened the bag and poured the water into it over her head.
The water is poured over her short-cut silver hair, which is covered with the scalding liquid, and soaks her entire body.
When all the water in the water bag was poured over her, the girl shivered like a bathed dog.
'Ooooh, it's cold ......, but I don't know, I guess it's a little better now ......'.
Then he sniffed himself and said, 'Yes,' which seemed to satisfy him.
After a while, the smell that had been filling the air around us dissipated.
'It seems to have subsided somehow.
'Yeah. ...... But this is only a first aid, right? I'm sure you can't even get rid of the stain on your clothes now, and it'll be the same thing when it dries again.
I guess. I'll try to find a nearby water source, though it might be a bit of a side trip.
I chant the Seek Water spell.
This is a beginner spell that allows you to detect rivers, springs, and the like if they are nearby.
There is also a spell called Create Water, but the amount of water that can be created with this spell is not very large.
It is useful for securing enough water for drinking, but if you want to prepare enough water for bathing or washing, you will have to spend a lot of mana.
Therefore, if you can find a natural source of water at a low cost, you should be able to do so.
And the result of the Seek Water spell was... Bingo.
Luckily, they had found a water source near their direction of travel.
'Found it. A place we can get to with very little detour. Let's go.'
As I started to lead the way, Irene, who was following me, murmured.
'...... Really, Will is amazing, isn't he? He can solve anything.
If she said that, I would want to correct her because it was not true.
'No, of course, there's no such thing as everything. For example, if you were to ask me to defeat the Demon Lord by myself, it would be an impossible order.
