15. Cute Audition

+++

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You perverted bastard.”

“The scum of humanity.”

“Nuclear waste.”

“Food waste!”

“A dickhead who’ll get his *gwi-doo* snipped off.”

“I… *hik*…?”

 

 

The woman flinched, surprised.

The woman opposite her smirked with a strange smile.

 

 

“Why? Can’t you say those words? Try it. Dick.”

“Wh-what kind of outrageous things are you saying!”

 

 

Tak!

She slams the table with her fist.

However, her fist, with her face bright red, doesn’t have much strength behind it.

 

 

“Whyyy? Our Yuna is already 25. She should be able to say things like that.”

“I-I don’t care. About that kind of thing.”

 

 

Yuna, with her face reddened, gulped down her beer.

Sora watched her endearingly, picking up and eating the cartilage dish they had ordered.

 

“Yuna is cute.”

“Ugh… don’t tease me.”

“I’m not teasing you. You’re really cute and pretty. Envy-inducing.”

 

Yuna, her face flushed, chugged her drink and stuttered.

 

 

“S-suddenly what’s with this… You too, *eonni*… you too….”

“Me what? I’m just an ordinary person?”

 

 

That might have been true in the past, but not now. She too is a woman of unparalleled beauty.

Anyone would turn to look if she walked by.

 

 

She should have just said something like that, but Yuna, flustered, said something completely different.

 

 

“You have big boobs!”

“….”

“Hehe!”

 

 

She was flustered and incoherent even after saying it herself.

It was different from her usual calm self. Was it because she had been drinking?

 

 

“Heh. Breasts are a woman’s pride, after all. In that sense….”

 

She lifted her upper body and crossed her arms, lifting her breasts.

 

 

“I’m a little special.”

 

 

An overwhelming size even for another woman to see.

I haven’t measured them one by one, but aren’t they the biggest among Yu-eun’s women?

 

It’s not like Yu-eun’s women are small.

Even Yuna right in front of me is quite large.

 

 

 

“Haa.”

 

 

Sora, who had been exuding confidence, sighed.

 

 

“Yeah. You’re pretty and cute, and I have big boobs, but what’s the point? He’s going to build a palace for himself, right in front of us.”

“He’s trash.”

 

Yuna also shed her flushed expression and hardened her face like a grim reaper.

In the first place, the reason why the two women were sipping alcohol and having a curse battle (?) was all because of Yu-eun.

 

 

“Damn… if he’s going to steal someone else’s woman, he should at least treat her well. He’s just neglecting her.”

 

She empties her beer glass, burning with resentment.

 

 

“He’s really hopeless. Is it that good?”

“Sex is good, though.”

“…E-eonni is…”

“Why?”

“Have you… done it a lot?”

“Well, you know….”

“….”

 

Ugh.

Yuna bites her lip.

 

In fact, Sora’s impression is that of a woman who has played around a lot.

When I first met her, I even got the impression that she had come from a club.

Isn’t her purple hair dye something extraordinary?

 

 

“Isn’t that usually done after marriage?”

“What are you talking about? Everyone does it except you.”

“….”

“Ah, did I hit a nerve? Sorry.”

“I don’t really want to do it anyway!”

“Maybe you didn’t before you were a virgin, but do you still think that now?”

“O-of course.”

“Then give it to me.”

“…Huh?”

“Hmm… well, he’s a pervert, so I can’t have all of him, but if you act appropriately, I might be able to give you about a third?”

“Wh-what does that….”

“You said you didn’t want it? I like sex.”

 

 

Sora smiled slyly and leaned forward.

It was as if she was reading everything.

 

 

“Th-that guy looks at me with lust every time he sees me. It’s not something I can help.”

“Really? Then wouldn’t it be okay to get away from Eun-i?”

“…?!”

 

 

Yuna felt like all the blood was draining from her body in that instant.

It was a shock as if the world was collapsing.

 

 

“Hahaha! Just kidding, just kidding.”

“….”

“There’s no way that perverted bastard would let you go.”

 

 

She laughed loudly and took the last piece of cartilage.

 

 

“*Eonni*! One *pajeon* here!”

 

 

Then, as if it were natural, she ordered a new dish.

 

 

“Anyway, what should we do with that guy? He’s probably having sex with women right now, damn it.”

 

 

At that exact moment, Yuna, who had been spacing out, suddenly stood up and slapped Sora on the cheek.

A cheerful sound of impact was heard, and everyone in the bar, drinking and chatting, focused their attention.

 

 

“…Ah…?”

 

Sora touched the area she had been hit and was surprised, and Yuna, who had hit her, was also startled.

As Sora’s pupils, widened with embarrassment, turned to Yuna, she hesitated, left the words, ‘I-I’m sorry!’ and ran out.

 

 

“W-wait! Yuna-ya!”

 

 

Sora hurriedly got up to chase after her, but an employee grabbed her before she could.

 

 

“The bill, ma’am….”

“Put it on Yu-eun’s tab!”

“Pardon?”

 

 

When the employee didn’t understand, Sora roughly took out a bill from her wallet and handed it over.

 

 

“T-this is 1,000 dollars….”

“Keep the change.”

“Huh??”

 

 

Leaving the surprised employee behind, Sora set out to find Yuna.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

“…Haa.”

 

 

Yuna, after slapping Sora, ran all the way to the dungeon.

The corpses of monsters that had unknowingly approached were piled up all around.

 

 

“Why did I do that…!”

 

 

She ruffled her hair wildly.

To suddenly slap her like that. And it was a full-power swing. It was fortunate that she was a fellow adventurer and there wasn’t any killing intent, but if a normal person had been hit, they might have died. How am I supposed to face Sora from tomorrow onwards!

 

 

And more than anything, she had gotten angry after hearing Sora’s words ‘get away from Yu-eun’ and committed the act, so it was no different from confessing that she loved Yu-eun. That was really too embarrassing. Even though Sora already knew that fact.

 

 

“No… I did want to hit her a little, but still….”

 

 

She often plays malicious pranks, so there were times when I wanted to hit her, but it always ended as a minor incident. This was the first time I had slapped her on the cheek like this in a moment of impulse. Sora must have been very surprised too.

 

 

“…She must be very angry… *Uuu*….”

“I’m not angry.”

“!”

 

She was complaining and burying her face between her knees, when Sora’s voice came from behind her.

Her voice was not one of anger, nor was it simply calm.

The voice was one of apology and pity.

 

 

“Can I sit next to you?”

“….”

 

 

Yuna nodded silently.

 

 

“I’m sorry. Thinking about it, those were a bit harsh words. Even if it was a joke.”

“N-no. I’m just… not feeling well. Actually, it’s nothing much…”

“Hmm, that’s not it, Yuna-ya… Didn’t we agree to be honest with each other? We even know everything about each other.”

“Ugh… still….”

 

Yuna blushed and lowered her head.

 

It takes time to bring it out.

Preparation is needed.

 

And even with all that, it’s difficult.

 

 

“How was it?”

“…What do you mean?”

“The feeling. I was wondering what kind of feeling it is to slap me on the cheek.”

“I just… I don’t really know… It was just a momentary thing.”

“You were very angry, weren’t you?”

“…Yes.”

 

 

She answered honestly.

As Sora wished.

 

 

It has been completely diluted now, and shame and apology are rather rushing in, but the emotion that Yuna felt at the time was clearly uncontrollable anger.

Thinking back now, I felt so angry that I couldn’t handle it. Such anger rose up that it felt like my body would literally explode if I didn’t release it, so I just swung my hand.

 

 

‘That much I am….’

 

 

Just hearing the words, ‘How about getting away from Yu-eun?’, even though it was just a joke as usual, my heart sank.

 

‘You son of a bitch… you’re toying with me with that skill….’

 

 

Resentment towards Yu-eun raised its head.

This is clearly caused by that bastard’s skill. Even a low-level skill that automatically raises affection or something when you’re nearby, and eventually you become subordinate.

Even if it’s passive, I can’t help but be angry.

 

 

But apart from that, her emotions are already attached to Yu-eun.

To the point where I don’t even want to imagine being separated from him.

 

 

“When I heard about the skill before, I had this thought for a moment.”

“…?”

“Like in a comic or novel, I love Yu-eun, but I know it’s a false heart, and I try to stop Yu-eun somehow. Honestly, that guy seems like an enemy of humanity, right? And a lecher.”

“Add a personality failure too.”

“Yeah. Anyway, I desperately deny my burning heart and oppose that guy, and finally save the world and save myself… well, that’s the delusion.”

“…So, how did it go?”

 

Sora turned her head towards her.

 

 

“Can you do it? Like that. Leaving aside your abilities. With your emotions.”

“….”

 

 

Yuna shook her head without realizing it.

 

 

“That’s right. I can’t. Just thinking about that makes me feel like the world is about to collapse.”

 

 

Sora dusted off her butt and stood up.

 

 

“And, I knew this would happen.”

 

 

She smiles, looking down at Yuna.

 

 

“I chose this path. I kissed him, and I nodded. I said I would become a maid. The rest are secondary factors. So,”

 

 

She gently strokes Yuna’s hair. There was a firm will in that hand.

 

 

“I’m not going to worry about that anymore. I’m just going to love him and fight for him.”

“*Eonni*….”

“Won’t you move forward too?”
