Seriously, why are you like that? (3)

The time when the dark blue sky with a full moon covers the empire.

I don’t know about others, but I walked out of the church entrance with a heavy body, as if I had been through a proper ranking battle for two nights and three days.

If you just look at the time that has passed, there is still enough time left over even after finishing all the ranking matches.

“Ugh~!”

As I stretch my body, which has been healed by the light attribute magic of the faithful believers, and breathe in the slightly hot summer night air, I feel that there is indeed a considerable difference between the fantasy world and reality.

Because that world wasn’t hot during the day, and it wasn’t cold at night.

As I was walking away from the church branch, I realized that it was definitely summer.

-Ouch!

-Tatat! Bam! Bam!!

“Rudis!!”

“Wow…? Who, Sister!”

Living? It wasn’t.

Just as I felt something creepy and realized that I was the prey being hunted, Yuria, a golden fox beast that seemed to erase the black night that had come flying in, threw her heavy and slender body at me without hesitation, and I reflexively grabbed her waist and hugged her.

But even though I reflexively accepted her and listened to her, my body swayed without mercy. The elasticity of her maternal sac was not something that could be done with reflexes.

But as if she had no doubt that I would not fall and would endure it, my older sister immediately began to speak while rubbing the top of her head against my chin.

“Wow! I thought it would be okay because it was 2 nights and 3 days! It feels like I waited for 3 weeks!!”

“Haha, you waited that long? Why don’t you come and observe? You should have told the teacher so that you could have at least one seat… “

“Of course I said it! But you know what that gum-slick bitch said?! She teased me by saying, “You know what I mean, huh? You quit being the captain of the knights too~?” and didn’t even give me a spot to observe!! Whoa!!”

“Oh, I’ll tell the teacher later. Oh, but I’m going to the finals, so you can come and see me then.”

“Oh! As expected, it’s our Rudis~! Ah! But, didn’t you worry at all, Sister? If our Rudis can’t go, then of course there won’t be a single one who can go to the main event!”

I think that’s overrating me.

But my sister smiled brightly as if she was genuinely happy and hugged me even tighter, so I just responded with a short laugh.

Oh, but.

“Excuse me, sister?”

“Huh~?”

-Molkang~

Who would think that this cute Suin, who sticks her elastic body close to me as if it were natural and looks up at me with her head lifted, is a woman in her 30s?

I swallowed dry saliva involuntarily at the sight of her captivating golden eyes and the pressure on my chest, but I continued speaking as calmly as possible.

“Did you eat dinner tonight?”

“No? I skipped lunch because I wanted to eat with Rudis when I met her!”

“Oh my… You should come to church instead. I ate lunch at church.”

“I was going to do that, but that gumball made a fuss about finding Rudis, so everyone was banned from visiting. Didn’t you know?”

“Oh?”

Master, what on earth have you done?

A total ban on visits? I can’t believe how much of a nuisance this is to the people around us.

But I met the Imperial wizard Clark Theodore? Did he use the Master’s trouble as an excuse to ban other people from visiting and come and go quietly?

If that’s true, then he’s a really thorough person.

I understood that in an instant, so I just nodded my head to tell my sister that I didn’t know, then slowly released the waist I was holding onto and slightly distanced myself from my sister.

At the same time, I saw my sister’s eyebrows, ears, and tail drooping like a puppy that doesn’t want me to go away, but anyway, it was the right situation for us to go away for now.

“Then, let’s have dinner together for the first time in a while.”

“Huh? Three?”

“… … “

In a situation where my sister and I were sharing our usual sincere skinship, a woman with hair similar to mine, Nora, became a folding screen under the dark sky.

She stood there, completely frozen, just two steps away, her blue eyes moving, not even breathing, quietly looking at me and my sister.

“Oh, hello.”

“Ah… ?”

And in the past, before the Black Tower was built, the two people who had met often looked at each other and greeted each other a little awkwardly.

*

“So after meeting Harbrang… “

“Oh~! As expected from our Rudis! That’s right, that’s right. Fighting stupidly isn’t everything. Survival is a survival game, so you can’t solve it stupidly with just brute force… “

I was quietly watching the golden fox beast and the black-haired dark magician, standing exactly two steps away, chatter away about the ranking battles that had taken place in the fantasy world, and I was quietly gathering my thoughts.

‘I thought there must have been a reason why Rudis was able to come to the Empire penniless as soon as he was exiled, but it turns out it was because the Knight Commander protected him…’

As Ellis’ mother and a pureblood beast, he feels a little frustrated as he looks at her, who is still attractive and hasn’t changed at all since he met her 10 years ago.

“So, on the way, I saw the princess with Albert and Raoul, so I kidnapped them together with Harb and brought them… “

“Oh my, did he really follow you all the way there? He’s really poisonous. “

“Yes?”

“No, I’m just talking to myself. So? Did he make it to the finals too?”

“Uh, I don’t know about that. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t tired, but I didn’t come to church… “

She walks arm in arm with Rudis, talking affectionately, as if it were natural, and wagging her tail as if in a good mood.

Moreover, even if you look at other women, you would say that her attractive body and voluptuous chest are threatening, and she is attached to Rudis. So… that must be it?

‘… Ever since I was by Rudis’ side, he tried to keep Ellis by his side. But in reality, I wonder if he wanted to be by her side.’

I know better than anyone who the women who were closest to him were.

Because I was given to him and Ellis was saved. The two of us felt similar grace towards Rudis and stayed by his side.

but.

“But, Sister, you’re not going to drink today, are you?”

“Huh? Of course. Tomorrow is the announcement date for the ranking match where Rudis will be going! I have to watch the live broadcast~”

“Phew, thank goodness.”

“What?”

“I’m just talking to myself.”

“You bastard! Did you hear everything, big sister?! It’s not okay to be annoyed when big sister is drunk!”

“Ouch! Sorry…!!”

Not only is Ellis not here, but he has no mime, and the country has a history of pushing him away, so it is impossible for me, if only for the sake of my conscience, to approach him.

That is, since there was no woman left by his side who loved and trusted him… the captain of the knights did not miss that opportunity and entered.

-Cracked.

‘Idiot, idiot. That bitch of mine…!!’

The princess I met in the ranking battle, I only spoke to her briefly, but she clearly had feelings for Rudis.

In other words, while I, a cripple, was pushing him away, that 30-year-old Su-in, who could be called violent, and that silver princess who was like a sparkling full moon took the place of me and Ellis.

‘In the end… there was no room left for me to enter.’

I had a dream that things could go back to how they were before, just because I had apologized to him.

I just feel resentful of my own pathetic self, for not having thought that it would really become a dream.

After quietly following the two people, I arrived at a meat restaurant…

“Ah. Rudis, can you order some meat and leave it there for a bit? I want to go pick some flowers and go while you’re waiting outside.”

“Oh, of course. I’ll buy you dinner tonight. I’ll order something delicious and cook it for you, so take your time.”

“Okay then, okay. Let’s go.”

“… Huh? Yes? “

“?”

The captain, who had not said a word to me until we arrived at the restaurant, suddenly grabbed my hand and started dragging me, forcibly dragging me to the bathroom.

Oh, no way…

“Hey, hey… “

“‘Our’ Rudis is a fool, so I would have just forgiven her. But, even so, with what face did you come following her?”

“… … “

When I hear something that I expected, I lower my head without realizing it and am left speechless.

Yeah, he explained things to me, but I’m the one who actually drove him to the point of being exiled from the kingdom and destroyed his place.

Once again, I realize that I am in a position where I cannot avoid being criticized…

” I don’t mean to say that. Honestly, judging from your expression, it seems like you really regret it. If you regretted it that much, you would have sincerely apologized. Besides, I know very well that Rudis is not a man who is kind to everyone and forgives them without any ulterior motives, right? “

“… Yes?”

“Why, did you think I’d call you to the bathroom and put down a joint?”

“Oh, no… That’s not it… “

Honestly, I expected her to at least get slapped in the face for being such a ungrateful bitch, but she seemed more indifferent than I thought as she turned on the water in the sink and washed her hands. Then, she started talking with a complicated look on her face.

“Sigh. I don’t know why ‘you’ conspired to stab Rudis and others with a knife, but you should have regretted it and apologized by now. But… My daughter hasn’t done anything wrong?”

“Ah.”

Certainly, this would have been a difficult question to ask in a place where Rudis was.

If you think about it, the captain of the knights is also in a somewhat absurd position.

Of course, one of the people who stabbed Rudis in the back was his own daughter who had been indebted to him.

“… I told Ellis the truth I found out. I think… she’s probably regretting it now. “

“… Yeah, you stupid little bitch. You don’t even listen when I tell you that. “

It’s a bit funny to hear that Ellis also talked to her mother about Rudis.

Because my teacher told me to stay by Rudis’ side so many times that it was almost ingrained in my ears.

After saying that, she washed her face roughly as if to cool down some of her emotions. Then she looked at me and continued speaking a little coldly, but also with a little bit of warmth.

“As you can see, I am no longer a mother or a knight captain, but a woman who will protect Rudis.”

“Gulp… “

“But I won’t say anything about how you’re going to approach me.”

“?”

Saying such unexpected words, she… took out a piece of paper from her front pocket, which seemed to burst with her ample chest, as if on purpose, and handed it to me, continuing her speech.

“But if you’re still interested in Rudis, you’d better choose who to line up with carefully. That’s my phone number, so think about it and call me.”

“… ?”

I really couldn’t understand a thing about what the hell was going on.
