McGillis (Monster) went to kill the woman he had forced herself on yesterday.
I was on standby at the inn.
While listening to conversations in the hallway and outside the window, I waited, my nerves frayed, worrying that soldiers wouldn’t come to this room because of McGillis.
Yesterday, the guard used a humanoid weapon.
The guard had succeeded in annihilating the king and his army, an objective the subjugation force failed to accomplish.
The significance of our existence as adventurers. It felt hollow to have won a lawsuit to cancel and invalidate penalty clauses.
“A knight (Golem), huh…”
I wish he could have cut down McGillis (Monster) in one blow. But that’s impossible.
If a war were to break out, and I were unlucky enough to be among the knights, I might be crushed.
In the first place, the countries bordering the Tartarus Kingdom are small in terms of population and the scale of their weaponry.
If the neighboring countries formed an allied army, a war might ensue.
But can McGillis be drawn into a battlefield? It’s unlikely, right?
Moreover, the allied army has a worrying element where they would prioritize their own interests and spontaneously fall apart from within.
Even if I somehow managed to lure McGillis to the battlefield, the war would end, or a truce would be called.
“I’m back~♪”
“Hee, sorryy— Welcome back♪”
How deeply was I thinking?
McGillis returned with such force that I reflexively apologized.
But fortunately, McGillis didn’t hear me.
Thinking I was saved, I replied, “Welcome back.”
Whew, that’s bad for my heart. From now on, I need to lock the doors and stay alert.
“Huh? What is that you’re holding in your hand?”
McGillis was holding a book that he didn’t have when he left.
“This? ♪”
He told me with a happy expression.
After silencing the woman, he was supposed to return immediately.
But while searching her house, he found it, thinking, “There must be money here!”
The content was in a foreign language, and he asked me to read it aloud.
“…Uh… I can’t read it.”
“Wha—!?”
McGillis was greatly surprised.
He declared that it was still early and that we were going to the town’s bookstore.
He dragged me out of the room. Spare me!
The town’s bookstore.
Even though it was a border town, it was still a city.
They had a decent selection.
“Where is the translation book for this language?”
McGillis immediately asked the staff.
He inquired about the location of the translation book, which seemed to be an erotic novel.
What speed! It was faster than fighting monsters or us adventurers!? He’s still hiding his true strength.
Is even a knight (Golem) incapable of this? Knights have a wide range of attack.
But with this speed, he’d dodge before I even realized it.
“…I want to do something about this (whispering)”
“Did you say something, Fei?”
“No, nothing.”
“Then please translate this book for me.”
How many pages do you think it has!!
I wasn’t told to finish it today, but I’m not sure I can even translate one page. Even with all the foreign words and moans in an erotic novel, I’d have to open the translation book for each passage.
Moreover, standing and reading in the middle of a store like this. Customers who don’t buy anything get glares from the staff.
(What will you do if I get put on the blacklist… Well, I’m not allowed to defy you, so I’ll translate it. I’ll just translate it…)
Sigh, we translated at the bookstore even during lunch.
My stomach rumbled loudly.
Embarrassed, we ate at a stall.
Then, back to the bookstore for more translation work. All day long, I stared at the densely written characters of the translation book. I hallucinated that the letters were closing in on me. I thought I’d dream about it, and then I had a nightmare where erotic bug-like creatures swarmed over my body.
“Ugaaaaaaaaah! Huh!?”
“Noisy! Don’t interrupt the passionate sex between me and Whity-chan!”
McGillis threw his pillow at me.
He doesn’t worry about me… does he?
He’s only interested in women…
…Why am I, a man, still alive?
He calls me an accomplice, but.
It’s like I’m just here for “repeated penetration play,” f—king the women McGillis has already assaulted.
It doesn’t have to be me, right?
But if that were the case… I would have been the one to die back then, not the leader…
Ah— I want to escape this situation!
Thinking these thoughts, the outside of the window began to lighten.
“Morning…”
More translation work at the bookstore today, just me.
McGillis, using the money he stole from the woman’s house (his base of operations), is going to embrace and defile the real Whity-chan, not a dream resident.
Ah, gloomy.
Tonight again, I’ll be harassed by intertwined words that resemble prostitutes and bugs…
A shiver ran down my spine with a chill.
Come to think of it, I’m refusing to have sex with women, but…
Am I not physically incapable of embracing women?
I don’t want to be a homosexual man, no…
Getting aroused by McGillis (Monster) would be suicidal.
Should I look for a psychology book at the bookstore that discusses these kinds of changes in the mind? It’s important to know if my future life will be long or short.
I know how fast I translated yesterday.
It’s unavoidable that the progress is slow, so I hope I can have a few days.
“Fuwah~~, hmm. Fei, it’s early.”
“Good morning.”
It’s not that it’s early.
I just couldn’t sleep because of the nightmare.
Before breakfast arrives, we discussed today’s schedule.
Just as I predicted. I’ll be at the bookstore, and McGillis will be acting alone.
He gave me money for lunch.
Immediately after breakfast, I was kicked out of the room, told to go to the bookstore.
“This is the money for lunch.”
I can only buy plain bread with this.
In the slums, I could eat a considerable amount of meat of unknown origin, but…
That meat, rumor has it, is from someone who died.
I will absolutely not eat it.
Ah, just one piece of bread for lunch…
“Haa…”
By the time I reached the bookstore, I sighed repeatedly, conveying my frustration and the feeling of injustice.
