The Sub-Heroine’s Butler Is a Vicious Bastard

60. midterm exam (3)

Koyono’s sword separated the Lizardman’s arm from his body.

With his eyes on the gigantic Lizardman crumbling in pain-

The two of them moved their bodies at the same time as if they were intertwined.

“Dong Schmidt-!”

“…Hey!”

Koyono’s torso headbutt using the whole body.

Schmidt’s dagger rushes incessantly at the lizardman who loses his balance and stumbles.

– Sheek-! See-!

The dagger that left his fingertips mercilessly circled around the Lizardman and released a wind hole.

Lizardmen do not catch the sword flying around them,

He can’t even attack Schmitz, who rides over the shadows.

It was because the two of them smashed their bodies infinitely faster.

– To Kie A Eek -!!

The wild cries of the enraged lizardmen echo through the forest,

As if Schmitz answered it, he simply threw the dagger away.

For a while, the pagan’s dagger left his hand and split the battlefield with black fire.

When it touches the lizard man’s skin, it leads to fierce flames all over the body.

– Mess, Mess-Ah!!!!

Lizardman belatedly noticed the dark red flames all over his body.

Schmitz gasps for breath as he watches this, and Koyono calmly looks at him.

A blond-haired man.

A man who is like a lamp that always guides himself.

However, he was also a man who couldn’t be his ‘boyfriend’.

‘That’s right, it has to be different. Schmitz’s partner is… ‘

Arlot, his close friend.

No matter how jealous he may be, his mate must be Arlot.

Because she has the boy of the ordeal.

Although it was a little difficult, she was able to give up.

“…Finish, please.”

A word from Schmidt filled with trust puts power into Koyono’s body.

For some reason, the illusion that the boy of the ordeal was watching her rang in her head-

Koyono’s splendid sword dance begins to draw a graceful spiral.

“Ahhh-!!”

A slash that shattered the dark past, the lingering attachment to Schmitz, and the giant Lizardman’s head.

Since it cut off the Lizardman’s breath at once,

Koyono didn’t notice this and headed towards Schmitz.

This is because Schmitz lost his balance and collapsed due to energy fainting just in time.

Koyono gently gave her arms so that he wouldn’t get hurt.

“It’s beautiful, Koyono-san’s sword dance…”

“…Again casually saying that.”

Koyono carries the unconscious Schmidt on his back.

She flung herself to the rear where Arlot and the others continued their confrontation.

“Lord Arlot! I’m coming!”

The guys that Arlott had frozen gradually regained their vigor.

Koyono took the avant-garde in place of Evan, who seemed exhausted.

Her sword cut through her foes again in a graceful spiral.

– Cheack-!

A group of Lizardmen falling out like autumn leaves.

By the time they noticed Koyono belatedly, part of the army had already been swept away.

“Miss Koyono… !”

“Thank you, Prince Arlott. I was able to save you by buying you some time.”

Koyono handed Schmitz into the arms of Arlot.

Arlott, whose eyes were reddened before he knew it, held Schmitz in his arms.

“Evan Gong, please withdraw with the two of you. The guys will finish it soon and join us.”

“…!”

“alone… You’re dealing with them… ?”

Arlott’s voice trembled.

She ran out of mana and couldn’t use her power, and Schmitz passed out after struggling.

Koyono was going to face the Lizard Man army alone.

“Don’t worry. Girl, you are no longer alone.”

‘Because he will be with you.’

Koyono put those words into her mouth like a spell.

It was a story that was difficult for Arlot to understand.

However.

Koyono, who had always smiled bitterly until now, smiled with confidence for the first time.

Arlot had no choice but to believe in the girl in front of him.

“… You have changed.”

“Hmm, maybe so.”

“Schmitz… Is it thanks?”

“… ”

The gazes of Arlot and Koyono crossed.

Koyono felt many emotions intersecting in Arlott’s eyes.

Koyono, who twitched her lips, finally spoke.

“It’s thanks to Prince Schmidt, and also thanks to the nobleman I met before.”

“Your noble means… ”

“This was a milestone in her life when she was having a very difficult time.”

Koyono thought of him sadly.

Of course, the reality is that we can’t even track down his whereabouts now…

Still, she could feel it.

The fact that he is clearly watching him from somewhere.

So it was.

Because Koyono already had him in a corner of her heart,

He was able to say that to Arlot.

“…So, don’t worry, Prince Arlot.”

“Relieve me… are you saying?”

“The girl has someone in her heart. so… You don’t have to worry about losing it like that.”

“Take it, take it away… ! Koyono-san!!”

Leaving Arlott’s flustered voice behind, Koyono fired a new model.

I wanted to tease Arlott a little more, but

Because the two of them didn’t have much time left.

* * *

“… Ugh.”

He raised his upper body, covering his aching head.

Blinking my eyes a couple of times, I could see the scenery around me at a glance.

White beds and blankets, and people in white gowns running around busily.

It was the ceiling of the now familiar academy’s health room.

Judging by the fact that he opened his eyes here, it seems that he escaped death.

‘… Shit.’

I should have been able to deal with at least one boss alone.

When he met an unknown opponent, he quickly borrowed the help of another party member.

I was proud that I had become stronger by absorbing various talents, but…

I was far short of the strength I expected.

“by the way… What happened to the rest?”

He clearly continued his struggle with the Lizardmen, and at first glance it seems that he matched with Koyono.

To be worried was to be worried.

As I was looking around, I heard a sound of someone approaching with strides.

“Lord Schmitz! Are you awake?”

“Schmitz… ”

“…”

When someone said it, all the party members gathered in one place.

Koyono, Arlot and even Evan.

There were bandages all over the place, and there were scratches, but everyone looked healthy.

“Are you alright?! Where, where are you hurt…!”

“Ugh… Mo, except for a little stiff body, it’s okay.”

“You told me to take care of my body, how can you be so overbearing!”

Koyono rushes at me recklessly and hugs me tightly.

For a hug with a woman, I can feel the tremendous strength.

Of course, her femininity was still cozy.

“… Big hum. Uh, it was all full of worries anyway.”

“I have no face.”

“…..”

“…..”

Koyono glanced at Arlot, who had become quiet for some reason, and coughed awkwardly.

Evan didn’t speak at first, so I put it off the table, and the awkward atmosphere in an instant was not very comfortable.

I just smiled and opened my mouth.

“Anyway, I’m glad everyone is safe.”

“What a girl has to say! How surprised I was to face the boss alone… !”

“Well, I almost knocked him down.”

Koyono put her hand on my waist and scolded me,

I relaxed with a smirk.

“… Well, it’s certain that I was able to cut him down thanks to Lord Schmidt.”

“It was a mediocre performance. It’s all thanks to Koyono-san and the party members.”

“It is not an empty word. Schmidt-dono’s performance was, after all, amazing. Thanks to that, I got a good grade in the exam.”

… what?

I couldn’t understand Koyono’s words.

To get good grades, wasn’t the exam completely ruined?

As I expressed my doubts, Arlott stepped forward and continued.

“Yeah, no party has ever defeated the boss monster… I got a good score because the two of us dealt with the boss together.”

“two people… Together?”

My gaze moved from Arlot to Koyono.

Koyono’s hand met my gaze.

It rested naturally on the handle of the sword, without the slightest vibration.

When I saw it, I was very surprised,

Seeing my startled appearance, Koyono feels excited for some reason.

“Miss Koyono…!”

“Girl, now you have the courage to hold the sword. As someone said, it was not the girl who held the sword who was weak, but the girl who couldn’t overcome her past.”

Koyono’s leisurely smile turned to the katana at her waist.

A reliable vanguard holding a sword and shield.

A samurai who overcame his past.

It was me who even felt a strange sense of pride at the sight of her in front of me.

‘Then, the quest… ?’

How nice it would be if the slope overlapped the slope.

Thinking so, I unconsciously moved my gaze to the quest window.

＜Quest #1: The Wounded Samurai Takes the Sword Again.＞

＜Content: Give the sword to Torino Koyono＞

＜Condition: Reach 100 affinity with Torino Koyono＞

＜Reward: A clue that Arlott’s leg can heal＞

＜Status: Unattained＞

‘… After all, it won’t be that simple.’

Originally, the trauma of overcoming the sword was a precursor to 100 affinity, but

It won’t happen that the machine moves according to the numbers set by the machine.

Overcoming trauma won’t necessarily lead to 100 likes.

In the first place, the transfer of 100 favorability is a romantic relationship.

I haven’t had a close relationship with her yet.

It all made sense in my head…

‘As expected, I can’t help feeling sorry.’

The quest reward is a hint to heal Arlott’s leg.

If it was a reward for my personal satisfaction or joy, I would have given up cleanly, but it is all the more regrettable because it was all for Arlot.

“You look bad, Schmitz. After all, I guess I need to get some rest.”

Arlott placed his hand on my cheek, perhaps showing my expression on my face.

When I turned my gaze to the cool touch, Arlott was looking at me with worried eyes.

… Yeah, it’s still too early to give up.

Even if it doesn’t bother Koyono, there must be a way to fix Arlott’s leg.

I have an obligation to make both of them happy.

Regardless of being a possessor or something, as a friend to the end.
