episode_0046

One day, a boy fell into the world. The boy, who had no idea about the world, wandered through a difficult world without knowing the names or faces of the parents who gave birth to him.

A life in which he did not receive love or even the common touches of sympathy immediately stained the boy’s heart, which was like pure white drawing paper, with mud.

The broken-hearted boy was unable to develop his talents, and all he had left was his determination to live. If you bury your face in the mud, the mud will fill your throat and you will die.

That’s why the boy did anything to survive. Of course, there is no way that a boy who lived an immoral life could have survived by acting righteously.

They stole to survive, and if they sold or exchanged what they stole, they earned money and food. It was the law of the world and a lifeline for the misguided boy who could not even learn.

Taking advantage of his small stature, he blended into the crowd and stole coins and other items from their pockets. guilty? There was nothing like that with the boy. To begin with, the boy’s mind was irreparably worn out at this point. The boy did not have enough sensitivity left to indulge in such human sentiments.

He didn’t feel angry at people who didn’t help him. just… I was sad if I couldn’t steal something worth the cost of today’s meal, and happy if I could eat. If you were caught stealing, you were beaten to death. But that was all. Next time, don’t get caught… He was a boy who persevered, telling me to be careful.

The boy’s body, with bruises, swollen wounds, and bleeding, became increasingly hard. A boy who feels proud as if he has a body made of steel. What pierced the boy’s pride and put an end to it was something very trivial.

As usual, it was the moment when I mixed in with the crowd of people and put my hand into a man’s pocket to steal something. Suddenly, I lost feeling in my left hand, which was outstretched in my pocket, and my body rapidly became heavy, starting with my left arm.

The boy’s left arm, which he prided himself on as being resistant to pain, was stained with the steel he was so proud of. He was a boy who for the first time in his life felt greatly embarrassed and embarrassed.

The boy was soon unable to support the weight of his arms and fell on the street. Even crawling was difficult due to the arm’s mass being so massive that it cracked the floor, and only the smooth steel skin reflected the cold sweat.

As if he still didn’t realize the situation he was in, the boy smoothed his steel arm with his remaining right hand. The boy’s first chance to encounter steel was when he happened to obtain an iron sculpture or a dagger. His arm felt like those objects.

The man smiled and said to the boy who was sitting down. The crime of stealing, accept it with pleasure. The man covered in bandages said so, dropped a crystal on the boy, said one last word, and disappeared down the street.

“It is a decision that reduces weight. The duration is 3 days. If you don’t find a way to break the curse on your arm by then, you will die, buried in that steel sin for the rest of your life, unable to move.”

Called… The price of the sins committed throughout his life was too great for the boy. Even if your wrist is blown off, you can somehow survive. Even if your tongue is cut off, you can still eat. But if your arms become heavy steel… ? The boy quickly understood the situation he was in.

I’m going to die without moving. There is no way to solve it… Called. He was a boy who was already burdened with a lot of sin. The boy often stole things not only from the public, but also from other comrades in the alley. It’s just that the boy was agile and didn’t get caught.

When I held the crystal in my hand, my left arm moved as if it were a lie. I clenched and unfolded my fingers, bent my elbows, and turned my palms over. An arm of steel that feels like it doesn’t belong to you even though it is your hand.

The deadline is 3 days. What you need to avoid are comrades lurking in the alleys to execute the crimes you have committed. There is no choice. It’s a waste of time to despair. The emotionally weak boy quickly shook off his depressed mood and stood up. Of course, I was afraid of dying without being able to do anything. But that’s it.

When his arms turned to steel, the boy’s mind must have been affected by the steel as well, and he trudged into the darkness of the alley to hide himself. You must not show weakness to anyone. His own survival instincts learned in the lawless areas of the city. Wrapping his left arm with rags, he hides in the shadows and searches for his target.

Someone who has the potential to heal his arm.

priest? no. People who call themselves religious cannot be trusted.

adventurer? Absolutely not. I heard that adventurers are savages, pleasure killers who kill vagabonds for fun.

Guard? Ignorant and incompetent sentry… I heard this from my comrades.

Wizard? … … Yes, a person of that caliber would have at least one item in his pocket that would remove the curse.

This is a story about a boy. Also, a story about the encounter with the wizard who saved the boy.

~~Excerpt from ‘Trike Observation Diary’~~ [Author: Herry Tetrahedron]

Following Herry’s orders, I was following Elizabeth, who suddenly broke up with me… To the strangely transformed Ms. Elizabeth and a woman named Rachel who is presumed to be her colleague… No, could I have called her a woman? They both had dicks… ? Anyway, I suffered a humiliating and painful act from those two.

A hole was made in my palm, my left arm was torn off alive, my pants were forcibly taken off and my dick sucked… All of this was so unbelievable that I thought I had had a nightmare.

But as if it really happened in a dream, not a single wound or scar was left on my body. Even the traces of blood had completely disappeared. It was obvious that if I said something like this had happened to me, I would be treated like a crazy person.

“Ha… … ”

I sigh deeply and weakly stretch my feet. The destination is the guild. First of all, to report the results of the follow-up mission… But I shouldn’t tell you what I experienced.

because…

[You know what this means, right? Sh~it♥ If you talk nonsense to Herry, I will kill you. You and Harry too. The most painful, the most painful. Behave well. Trike]

Rachel’s threat. She easily ripped off my steel arm without any sign of struggle. The sentence she gave with a cruel smile was by no means something to be ignored. If I’m telling the truth, it’s not just me, it’s the people around me… In particular, it could pose a great threat to Heri.

“Phew… … ”

While I was worrying about this and that, I arrived at the back door of the guild. Heri said, I am registered as an official guild employee, but since most of the missions Heri directly gives me are top secret, I must return to the guild through the back door while performing a mission.

The back door that had been treated with Herry’s magic could not be opened by anyone who did not receive Herry’s permission.

–Squeak…

When I stood in front of the back door, it opened by itself without me having to hold the door handle. I was also one of those permitted to enter through the back door.

If you go up the stairs beyond the back door, a door with a nameplate that says ‘Guild Leader’s Office’ eventually appears. Due to Heri’s magic, the back door and the front door are different, but you will always end up on the second floor.

“Herry, this is a trike. I’ll go in.”

I knocked softly in front of the door, opened it, and went in. Other guild employees could only enter by knocking on the door and receiving permission from Heri, but Heri…

“Trikes can just come in!”

He said there was no need to go through complicated procedures.

When I opened the door and came in, Herry was looking at the document with his chin resting in the air as usual. His stern expression brightened as soon as he saw me.

“Uh… ah! Trike is here!? I really want to give you a message. Then I would have prepared… ”

ah… It did. Whenever I wanted to return, I decided to leave a signal for Herry… I was so dizzy that I seemed to have forgotten that too.

“I’m sorry. Because I am inexperienced… ”

“Oh, no, no! Trike did nothing wrong! People can forget things!!”

Heri waved his hand and comforted me. Afterwards, Heri organized the documents floating in the air with a single gesture and placed them on the desk, then sat down on a chair and spoke to me.

“Kuhm… It’s really cute. Our trike♡ Ah, that’s right! how was it. What about Beth? Was there anything strange?”

Tsk… I thought you would ask as well. What happened when I chased after Elizabeth… I must report that series of events to Heri. But that shouldn’t be said.

After hesitating for a moment, I handed the journal in my pocket to Heri and spoke.

“Right after leaving the guild, Elizabeth bought an apple at the grocery store and ate it. During that time, I did not meet or talk to anyone on the street.”

“Umm… Did you talk about anything special with the store owner there?”

“We did not exchange anything other than a simple conversation for calculations.”

“That’s right? Hmm… And then what happens next?”

Next… Herry, who had not yet checked the diary I gave her, seemed to want to hear about Elizabeth’s whereabouts directly from me. And from what I remember, Elizabeth left the grocery store… I met Lacey at the weapon shop…

“No, weapon… oh… !”

At that moment, Rachel’s warning came to mind. She tore out several pages from the diary I had written, and in those several pages was written about the meeting between Ms. Lacey and Ms. Elizabeth at the weapon shop. If I said this… Oh, no, maybe if it’s Herry… ?

Heri, who always says that the title of Archmage is not a decoration, might be able to defeat that woman named Rachel. Even if you ignore Rachel’s warning and speak up, she might be able to tell.

Yeah, but what if… If the… If you notice what I said… ? Well, if Herry gets hurt because of what I said… ? If I too would experience pain worse than death… ?

In less than a few seconds, a thousand thoughts came to mind. When I say something I was told not to say, the disadvantages and benefits that Heri and I face… Herry always said.

“When you’re worried about two things. You need to carefully weigh the benefits and losses between the two and decide on the larger gain and the smaller loss. If the profit and loss are similar or you cannot know due to lack of information, always choose the one with the least loss.”

The one with the least loss… That means…

“Nothing happened… After leaving the grocery store, he continued walking around the street and returned home.”

If the… I decided that it would be better to assume the worst case scenario and refrain from saying anything.

“Um… ? Because it’s around 6 o’clock now… Wait a minute, Beth left the guild at almost 12 o’clock, and other than a quick stop at the grocery store, she wandered around the streets for 6 hours?”

“Ah… that… ”

I’m in big trouble. I hadn’t thought about it until now… Even if I gloss over it here, it’s only a matter of time before Heri gets caught if he investigates it himself. Ha, but I can’t change my words now. If I tell you the truth… Neither I nor Herry will be safe…

After saying that, Heri opened the journal I gave her and began to read it one by one in detail.

“I’ve never met anyone… Return home at 6 o’clock… Is it really written like this?”

“Yes, that’s right… ”

“But it’s a trike. I have one question to ask.”

“… ?”

“What is the torn part in the journal?”

… … !! The torn part… Ah… ! The torn part of the journal undoubtedly meant the part that Rachel had torn. It was also unnaturally torn in the middle. Heri sensed the strangeness and questioned me.

“Well, I wrote it wrong and tore it up… ”

First, I made up an excuse and said it. I wrote it wrong and tore it up… It was a ridiculous excuse, but there was no turning back.

“I guess I wrote something wrong.”

Heri showed a sharp look in her eyes and questioned me until the end. It was a natural procedure. But I… Having crossed the river of no return, I kept making foolish excuses.

“Hour, I wrote down the time incorrectly. So I tore it up and threw it away… ”

I felt stupid. No matter how much I thought about it, I felt stupid. Although it wasn’t long before I learned about roles such as tailing and espionage, there was one thing that was emphasized as the most important of what little I learned.

Leave no trace during covert actions. This was something I had heard many times not only from books, but also from Herry. However, despite all that learning and advice, I tore up the paper and threw it away.

“That’s right… Tear it up and throw it away… Hmm… ”

Herry was holding a journal in one hand and turning a bundle of keys with the other hand. He seemed to be thinking deeply about something, but I couldn’t tell. Are you thinking about my punishment or something else?

“huh… That kind of immaturity is also cute♡”

“Yes?”

“Oh, it’s nothing!”

Heri seemed to have finished thinking, smiled slightly, got up from the chair, and came towards me. Then he stroked my cheek and spoke.

“I’m sorry for questioning you. Trike. Since this matter is quite sensitive, I had no choice but to be a little harsh. I’m sorry if this hurt you. But next time, even if you write something wrong, don’t tear it up and throw it away. Instead, write it on the next page or draw two lines and correct it. Because I don’t want to see what someone threw away. The first rule of covert action. Leave no trace. Got it?”

“, I will keep that in mind.”

“Then shall we go back home?”

Heri extended his hand in a friendly manner and invited us to return home. I am living at Heri’s house. So after work, I always went home with Herri.

“Oh, before that, I will return the magic tool I gave you earlier in the morning. Will you give me your coat?”

Oh, right… In order to follow Elizabeth, I received a lot of magic tools suitable for secret action from Herry in the morning. This coat I’m wearing right now… The cloak that became invisible was one of them.

All I have to do is put back what I received. As Heri said, I took off my coat and handed it to Heri. however… Heri’s face distorted at that moment.

“T, trike? The left arm sleeve is… What happened? Why is it being torn away?”

“Do you mean cow or falcon?”

What did Heri say… .

“Ah… ”

When I followed Herry’s perplexed gaze and looked at my left arm, the entire sleeve had been torn off, leaving only the polished steel arm proudly exposed. On the contrary, the right sleeve was intact, so it felt like a clearer contrast.

“Trike… Nothing really happened? Looking at your sleeves now, would I believe it? Tell the truth. What happened to Beth? Right?”

Heri is interrogating me again with a scary face. That face… It was the first time I had seen this expression in my life since meeting Heri. A shadow appeared on his face, and he held my shoulders tightly. The arm was trembling.

“Well, nothing really happened… This is just… ”

The friendly atmosphere just moments ago changed in an instant. There was a black haze swirling around Heri that was enough to make you aware that she was angry.

“That’s it. I can’t trust Trike’s word on this matter. The reason I can’t say it… Have you been silenced by Beth? Well, if I tell you, they might kill me?”

“Oh, no… ”

As I continued speaking, I thought about it. ah… No matter what I say anymore, Herry won’t believe me.

“How dare you touch my trike? No matter how much Beth, I can never forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive, I can’t forgive.”

Heri is biting her nails and muttering. The atmosphere feels like it might explode at any moment. If Herry goes to attack Elizabeth like this… ? It seemed like Herry would never be safe.

We can never leave it like that. Because Heri is my benefactor… Because you are the precious person who saved me…

–Wow… !

“Stop it. Hey Harry!”

“Ugh, hehe… ! T, trike?”

I hugged Heri, who was shaking and anxious, from behind. Then Heri was very embarrassed, stuttered, and turned his head to look at me.

“Well, I really didn’t do anything. Well, please go back home. Well, I’m hungry too. and… and… ”

Now I felt like I was going to cry. Because I never wanted to see Herri get hurt because of my mistake. I begged and begged again.

When Heri heard me cry, Heri’s face gradually relaxed. My trembling body and strange haze gradually diminished.

“Keu, keuhm… This is my first time seeing a trike like this♡ Ah, I understand. Trike… You must have had a hard time too. Okay, let’s go back first. Let’s talk later, later.”

Heri smiled again, patted my head, and placed his coat over my body. Then he held my hand tightly…

“Trike… Cute♡”

“Yes… ?”

“Oh, no… !? Come on, let’s go home quickly. You said you were hungry, right? I have to eat dinner quickly.”

Heri and I held each other’s hands and went back home. Heri willingly invited me to her house even though I had nowhere to go, and even let me sleep. Moreover, he even said that I could continue to live in this house until I became independent.

I have already received countless blessings, but I cannot even express my gratitude in words to receive something like this.

“Then trike. I’m going to wash up and come out. Just wait a moment. I’ll make dinner right away.”

When Heri returned home, she always washed first. I also decided to put away the gear I wore today and wait until Herry finished washing up and came out.

“I wish everything that happened today was a dream… ”

It was a memory I didn’t want to recall. The woman with a wicked smile, bouncing breasts larger than her head. Rachel… The monster that casually ripped off my left arm…

however… But why… The more I think of Rachel’s face and the memories of that time… Why is my dick getting hard… ! Why, why is this happening… Hey, consulting with Herry…

As I snuggled into Rachel’s soft breasts, an incredibly sweet smell filled my nose. The inside of that soft chest was softer than the pillow that Herry had given me as a gift, saying it was for my use only.

And one more thing… What Rachel said to me before she left flashed through my mind.

[Let me tell you one thing. Harry is not as fair as you think. It is said that he is a person with more dark thoughts than expected. Then it’s really goodbye ♥ I’ll see you again next time I get a chance ♥]

Of all the things, I remember this one clearly and it’s still going through my head. Why why… ?

I wasn’t the type of being so weak as to be deceived by words like that and doubt the benefactor who saved me. Because my life has completely changed since Heri took it from me.

–Clap, clap!

I came to my senses by tapping my cheeks several times with both hands. This was also something that Herry told me. Did you mean, when you’re worried about something, hit the ball to organize your thoughts?

Anyway, today is something I will never forget even if I want to. Herry probably calmed down inside the guild right away, but he was able to ask about the matter after he washed up and came out. Although I didn’t say it directly, Heri knew something had happened to me as soon as she saw my torn sleeves.

“I can’t say… ”

I thought about this in my mind several times. If you speak, you will die. It wasn’t just a threat; it was a clear threat. Because not only me, but also Herri could get hurt…

I thought deeply. But I couldn’t think of it. I am… What should I do…

“Try like♡”

“Ugh, uh… ? Hey, Herry?”

It was Herry who rescued me from my deep thoughts. I was feeling hot because I had just gotten out of the shower, and Heri wrapped me from behind wearing only a towel.

“Oh, please put on all your clothes… Boo, I’m embarrassed… !”

“Trike is also true. It’s always been like this, why are you so embarrassed~”

Heri always wore only a towel after washing up. I’ve seen it all the time, so I’m used to it now.

But for some reason, my eyes were drawn to Heri’s chest as usual. The pink hair on her moist cleavage gave off an indescribable atmosphere. Pink hair… Same as Rachel… Still, her breasts are much smaller than Rachel’s…

Oh, no. Why on earth do I… ! Why did I think of Rachel when I saw Herry? !?

“Trike seems to be worried about something. After all, something… ”

“Oh, no. no… There were no worries.”

“Hmm… okay… ? Then I washed everything too. Let’s have dinner~”

Heri smiled delicately and waved her hand, causing the pajamas to flutter and land on Heri’s shoulder.

After that, he moved his hands a few more times, and the kitchen utensils floated in the air and cooked food as they pleased. It’s a sight I’ve always seen, but seeing the kitchen move as if it were a living organism, cutting, baking, and putting ingredients on plates… I realized that Herry was truly an incredible wizard.

It only took 10 minutes for the food to be prepared and placed on the table. The food that was made in an instant was placed on the table naturally, and even the dishes and water were placed in front of me with a single gesture from Heri.

“Enjoy your meal. Trike♡ Eat a lot and grow bigger… There is no need to lose, just stay healthy♡”

“I will eat well. Mr. Herry.”

“Yes, yes~”

Heri didn’t eat until I lifted the spoon. If you ask me about it one day, I will tell you that just watching me eat makes me full… was the only answer. It was now a familiar dinner routine.

“Then what should we do tomorrow? Trike.”

“Do you mean work…? ”

When I took a bite of the soup with a spoon, Heri looked at me with satisfaction and spoke.

“You didn’t think I would just stay silent for a while, right? As for the person who touched my precious trike, I have to go and talk to him in person.”

“Now, wait a minute. Hery, I really… !”

“Stop. I said it before. Regarding this matter, I cannot trust Trike’s words. With that in mind, I will give you another mission tomorrow.”

Is that what Herry was thinking as he looked at me the whole time? In a panic, I stood up from eating and shouted at Heri, but Heri continued talking without even blinking.

“I can’t send a trike to such a dangerous woman anymore. But Beth is also a valuable colleague of mine. I’m feeling really confused right now, and something’s wrong… ”

A shadow appeared on Herry’s face again. Perhaps, I am disappointed that Elizabeth attacked me, but at the same time, I feel a conflict of desire to resolve her situation…

It’s hard for me to sympathize with someone who hasn’t even had a friend in my life… If Herry makes an expression like that, I too…

“Anyway, my familiar will keep an eye on Beth’s movements. Will Trike meet Myrit, who was kicked out of the territory tomorrow?”

“Ma, Mr. Arit… ?”

Here, a name I had never thought of came up. My lit, my lit redius. Elizabeth’s husband and also a first-class adventurer. An excellent adventurer who wears huge gauntlets and boldly crushes enemies, while at the same time making sharp plans… Herry once said this.

“While you were chasing after Beth, I also wrote a letter to my familiar and sent it to Myrit, who lost the duel. I wonder if the letter was sent properly, I just received a reply.”

“What is it about… ?”

“I am willing to talk. Originally, I was going to go out on my own, but since this happened to Trike, I can’t send him in Beth’s direction. So, can you go this way instead?”

Mr. Herry said, waving the envelope he didn’t know when he had taken it out. Herry made this decision solely out of concern for me.

Since there was no reason to reject the offer, I decided to follow Herry’s advice.

“I have to go to the guild early tomorrow morning, so I’ll write down the place Myrit told me to go on the map and leave it on the table. Have a nice visit. I’ll be leaving behind a lot of magic tools, so make sure to take them with you.”

After Heri finished her story, she handed the letter to me and started eating.

“Of course, I still don’t like sending you away alone. Bess was like that too, but is there any guarantee that even Myrit won’t be like that? At least, no matter how crazy Myrit is, she’s not the type of person to attack people.”

It was Heri, who was scooping up soup and mumbling it in her mouth with a bitter smile.

“Am I allowed to undertake such an important task? I am such a great person… ”

This is a thought I always had. What did Heri see in me, who was nothing more than a back alley pickpocket, to show such infinite trust in me? Above all, I tried to steal from Herry…

“Not a great person? under… ! Who said that? it’s okay. don’t mind. No matter what everyone in the world says, I… Because only I trust you, Trike. Cheer. You are my lovely… No, because he is a precious man♡”

Heri’s serious and sincere face and every word she spoke were words of encouragement and comfort.

“Thank you, I apologize. Hey Harry… ”

With those words, Heri and I enjoyed dinner in privacy. Perhaps because Herry was worried about me, he didn’t bring up any more stories related to Elizabeth.

*

“Then shall we go to sleep now~”

Before we knew it, dinner was over, and Heri put away the dishes and cleaned up the table with a single wave of his hand. After I ate dinner and washed up, Herry held my hand and headed to the bedroom, telling me to go to bed.

There is only one bed in Heri’s house. I sleep in the same bed as Heri.

“Ha… Ending the day with a trike’s soft cheek ♡ I love it ♡ Seup… Haha~ Your hair smells fragrant♡”

When it was time for Heri to sleep, she would always touch our cheeks, move each other’s cheeks, and smell my hair. This wasn’t strange because I had been doing this every single day since I was protected by Heri.

— Kuuk ♡

“Umm… ”

He buried my head in his chest, and I always fell asleep in his arms. But today I felt strangely strange.

Were Herry’s breasts this small? ? Or maybe I haven’t gotten out of Rachel’s heart yet… ?

“Good night. Mr. Herry.”

“Yes, yes. Trike sleeps well too♡”

But today was very difficult. After hearing Heri whisper, all my fatigue was relieved and I fell asleep in the soft bed.
