Defiled Hero Chapter 029

Defiled Hero

The Disappearance of Lilia

I can’t breathe.

Although I opened my eyes, I could see nothing as my field of vision was pitch black. I feel like I’ve slept for a while, but is it already evening?

Why was I being suffocated? Was there something blocking me? To get rid of the obstacle suffocating me, I stuck my hand out.

*Muni*

(TN: SFX for something... soft.)

I felt something soft in my hand.

This size, this shape, this feeling, these are probably Reri’s boobs. The things covering my face were Reri’s boobs?

(TN:　おっぱい/Oppai is much more vulgar than 胸/Mune, as well as having a more specific meaning.)

Crap, what’s with this, I can’t separate myself.

「Nn......It’s okay. Keep going......」 (Reri)

She was doing this while half-asleep, and was somehow holding onto my head really tightly. It's hard to breathe. I need to get out of this somehow.

Every time her boobs rubbed onto me, she gripped onto me harder, to the point where my face hurt.

Trying to pull her boobs away from my face was having the opposite effect.

In order to get Reri away from me, I had to get a grip on her body.

*Muni*

It was an elastic and soft sort of feeling. I could fit them in my hands, a simple set of boobs.

These are Uri’s boobs. I’ve had enough of your chest.

Then this time I’ll reach over with my other hand.

*Pat*

......O-Oh.

「Why is everyone sleeping on my bed......」 (Izayoi)

My voice was lost within the depths of Reri’s ravine.

「I-It hurts...... hitting someone on the butt is cruel.」 (Reri)

「That might be the case, but you didn’t separate from me did you?」 (Izayoi)

I was able to somehow escape from the choking hazard, but I had woken up the four people sleeping on my bed. They yawned, stretched, and rubbed their eyes.

「What are today’s plans? Uri wants to train!」 (Uri)

「......Training.」 (Tear)

「*Hawawa*......  I’m hungry...」 (Fiere)

Today’s plans, is it. I haven’t really decided yet.

「I’ve got it. Let’s take on some sort of subjugation request for training today.」 (Izayoi)

Since we just fought with the goblins yesterday, we’ll do an easy request and defeat something quickly. After finishing our meal, we made our way towards the guild.

The guild was overflowing with activity. The people who took requests were going out to do their jobs.

「This is the first time I’ve entered the guild through the front! Amazing!」 (Uri)

「How do you usually get in here?」 (Izayoi)

「We normally enter through a window!」 (Uri)

「A window? That’s normal I see. There’s a set of secret passageways underneath the guild, you know? 」 (Izayoi)

「Really? I didn’t know at all......」 (Reri)

「As expected of master! Master is teaching us information we’ve never been informed of!」 (Uri)

「Wait a moment, why are you talking about confidential matters in public like this?」 (Lilia)

Lilia had come flying towards us from the receptionist’s desk.

「As expected of Lilia, who turned into a ghost. I couldn’t feel your presence at all.」 (Izayoi)

「As I thought, you didn’t forget that joke you played on me the other night......」 (Lilia)

「There were other things to deal with too, like making the salty seasoning.」 (Izayoi)

「It’s fine if you don’t prepare something like that! Hurry up and put an end to the jokes!」 (Lilia)

「Even though I put a lot of effort into preparing it......」 (Izayoi)

「Why do you seem so disappointed......」 (Lilia)

「So then, are there any subjugation requests that seem right for us?」 (Izayoi)

「Straight to business once again I see. You’re quick to exchange words aren’t you?」 (Lilia)

「With regards to fighting, how fast you exchange words is directly related to your odds of survival. If anything, it allows you to make decisions without hesitating.」 (Izayoi)

I want to exorcise her, but it’s no good. The salty seasoning will be useless.

「You’ve really kept this going on for a while haven’t you? You look regretful parting with the salty seasoning.」 (Lilia)

「Something like regret...... I don’t think I have any............regrets?」 (Izayoi)

「Hm?」 (Lilia)

I had placed a pinch of salty seasoning within a vial. I unconsciously moved my hand and without realizing it sprinkled some of it on top of Lilia’s head.

「――Got it.」 (Izayoi)

「Alright! A subjugation request right!? What rank would you like!?」 (Lilia)

With a rough voice, Lilia desperately sorted through the requests.

「Do you have any A-rank requests?」 (Izayoi)

「A-rank I see! If some sort of A-rank monster recklessly came out then there’d be a big problem!」 (Lilia)

「Then anything in the B-ranks?」 (Izayoi)

「B-rank you say!? There are! The heavy rain last month caused the lake to flood, leading to what seems to be water dragons appearing near the village on the outskirts of the lake! Furthermore there have been rumors that a dragon has been living in the mountains near that same village. For the past month, everyone has been scared and haven't accepted these requests!　......*Haah*......*Haah*」 (Lilia)

Explaining the requests so quickly and sharply led to Lilia being short on breath.

「Then I’ll take the water dragon subjugation request. By the way, you don’t look so good Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「Don’t mind me, please just hurry up and go finish your subjugation request already......」 (Lilia)

Perhaps it was the effect of sprinkling salt on top of Lilia’s head?　Oh, by doing that, she... it couldn’t be.

「Could it be...... you’re passing on?」 (Izayoi)

「Don’t worry about that, hurry up and go handle the request already......」 (Lilia)

「If I complete this request...... will you rest in peace?」 (Izayoi)

I see. These are Lilia’s final moments.

「...That’s not happening.」 (Lilia)

「I see. Lilia, you’ve taken care of us till now. I won’t forget my memories of you. Especially that memory...... That...... I won’t forget.」 (Izayoi)

「You don't even remember in the first place do you?」 (Lilia)

「The memory of using the salty seasoning on Lilia, and you keeping yourself together for use in cooking. I’ll remember that about Lilia every time.」 (Izayoi)

「You’re really going to remember that? It's your fault for being so direct that I can't remember anything from last night! There's nothing left after being killed two or three times for food! Haven't you forgotten already! I'm sure you didn't remember in the first place! (Lilia)

「That’s right, the first human being for me to remember is you isn’t it?」 (Izayoi)

「You’re suddenly changing the conversation, aren’t you......」 (Lilia)

「......How long are you going to continue this first meeting with her? Let’s hurry up and begin the subjugation.」 (Reri)

「――You’ve already started to forget me!?」 (Lilia)

「That’s true, why am I conversing as if we're close? My bad for getting in the way of your work.」 (Izayoi)

「How could you, my own existence is being denied! It’s a lie right? It’s me, Tear-chan, you remember right?」 (Lilia)

「......Who?」 (Tear)

「Why is this happening!? I don’t have to pull myself together do I? Since this person is scary it’s fine if I don’t uselessly follow along right?」 (Lilia)

(TN: Lilia's lines have been getting more and more... senseless. If they don't make sense, it's because they don't.)

「What did you say just now?」 (Izayoi)

How troublesome. From the first meeting she was overly familiar and meddled with other people’s affairs, and she’s just a lowly reception......ist? What’s with this vial? Salty seasoning?

「――Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「What’s with this joke!　Please just stop this already!」 (Lilia)
