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)
