Defiled Hero

A Day With Lilia, Part 2

Lilia leaned onto the counter, wearing the guild uniform which accentuated her breasts.

She folded her arms underneath her breasts, emphasizing their volume. Placing my arm on the counter, I was met with an expression that one would make if they were looking at trash.

「Do you have anything else to say? If you do hurry up and say it already. And go home afterwards.」 (Lilia)

「No, I don't have anything else to say.」 (Izayoi)

「Then go home already! I'm usually busy at it is, but one of the receptionists is absent, I don't have the leisure to fool around with you!」 (Lilia)

「You certainly seem busy. You're the only one with a long line... It might be bad.」 (Izayoi)

「It's all your fault! Is the line not entirely your fault!?」 (Lilia)

「I got it. I'll help out with the guild.」 (Izayoi)

「Do you even listen to what other people say? Why are you doing this?」 (Lilia)

「Relax. I more or less know how the guild works. Leave it to me.」 (Izayoi)

「Do you have that little to do? Jeez, don't come behind the counter as you like!」 (Lilia)

A good opportunity. There's no fighting or physical labor so far. I know how the guild works. I should be fine.

「You over there, come.」 (Izayoi)

「It's become dangerous already...」 (Lilia)

I called a timid man over from Lilia's line. The man hesitatingly came over here.

「The guild is busy. Finish your business within 20 seconds. You trash that don't will be executed.」 (Izayoi)

「That's asking too much! You'll become a target for elimination if you do that!」 (Lilia)

I ignored the noisy Lilia. Across the counter, the sweating and trembling man hurriedly took out a single piece of paper.

「Subjugation...... request please,」 the man eked out in a small voice.

「C-rank monster subjugation eh. You, are you prepared to die?」 (Izayoi)

「Eh? Wh, why? ...Die, death?」 (Man)

「There's no guarantee you'll live. The guild won't be held responsible. Are you prepared to die? If not, then you can die here.」 (Izayoi)

「...No, that...」 (Man)

「What? I can't hear you. I’ll kill you.」 (Izayoi)

「Yes, yes, alright.」 (Man)

「Then go get yourself killed.」 (Izayoi)

I stamped the paper with approval.

「Overwhelmed..... So, drained—」 (Man)

The man left while breathing heavily.

「How was that.」 (Izayoi)

「You're the worst. You did what you needed to, but your attitude is terrible!」 (Lilia)

「Attitude? I've had first-class manners driven into me. I don't remember most of it, but I have no need to be ashamed of my manners.」 (Izayoi)

「You make even receptionists feel ashamed...」 (Lilia)

「Well, it’s fine isn’t it? I'm working hard as a receptionist. There's no problem.」 (Izayoi)

「Of course there's a problem! You don't use polite words? How can you build rapport like that?」 (Lilia)

「Foolish Lilia. Not speaking in a roundabout way and using direct language will make you friends you know? In the first place, telling me to use polite speech when you don't have a single friend isn't convincing.」 (Izayoi)

「Friends? Directly become friends!? So simple minded! Stop poking me you blockhead! I'm going to cry you know!」 (Lilia)

「Now, there's nothing to do.」 (Izayoi)

「Of course. After the morning, the work is nearly done.」 (Lilia)

As I helped out with the guild, the large group of adventurers disappeared before I knew it.

It's as if having been busy was a lie.

The sound of a page being turned could be heard, while several people conversed.

Lilia rested nearby with her head on her hand. As I spaced out in the guild, lunchtime rolled around. Lilia seems to finish work just before lunchtime.

「What are you doing after this?」 (Izayoi)

「What is that? Why are you interested in my private time all of a sudden.」 (Lilia)

「It can't be helped. I've got time to spare. I thought of observing the on-goings of the lower life form called Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「Just do whatever. Observation, research, just do what you want.」 (Lilia)

【Organism Lilia】

I studied the habits of Lilia for a day.

Let's announce the results. Listen to the results, if you would.

[Organism Lilia - 1]  Lilia is by herself.

It need not be stated.

Save for her coworkers, there is nobody else she talks to.

According to rumors, a man with gray hair and an eye patch messes with her.

[Organism Lilia - 2]  Poor interpersonal interaction.

Lilia's interactions are mostly basic.

She has more interactions from time to time, but they are mainly standard.

She doesn't seem to do well with unusual things though.

(TN: Tsukkomi doesn’t translate well into english, this whole part is talking about Lilia’s tsukkomis.)

Large breasts, and the brain of a monkey. Its name is Lilia.

[Organism Lilia - 3]  Lilia is actually smart.

She graduated at the top of her class in the capital's school.

It has to be a lie. Impossible. She's got the brain of a monkey.

[Organism Lilia - 4]  She leads a relatively woman-like life.

Lilia goes about doing things in secret after she finishes work.

Lilia is a 16-year-old girl. She lives a life fitting of her age.

She's dining at a stylish cafe, I mess with her.

She goes about the shops around town, I mess with her.

She sees western style clothes, I mess with her.

I observe her while not hurting her, yet she suddenly becomes angry.

「How far are you going to go with this salt nonsense before you're satisfied! Only the salt remains after a ghost disappears you know?」 (Lilia)

Having said that, she disappeared.

「Where did she go? That Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

There are people walking about town. I lost sight of Lilia who ran away.

It's troublesome to look for her, so I walk straight.

Unintentionally entering a path I'm familiar with, my steps become unsteady.

In the quiet residential area, there was a slightly dated plaza with a simple fountain.

Speaking of which, in the past I often—

「Did you really follow me here? You really do have nothing better to do.」 (Lilia)

Calmly watching from a distance, I could see Lilia sitting down.

It's the same as those days.
