Chapter 31 I Don’t Want to See It
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
”Let go of her.”
The surrounding temperature began to rise, scorching hot.
”Who do you think you are speaking to?”
Conversely, the air grew cold and sharp.
”Cli… ff…”
’Ah, of all people, it had to be Cliff.‘
He was clearly angry. His brows were drawn up, and his eyes burned with unconcealed hatred and hostility. I had known him since I was little, yet this was the first time I ever found Cliff scary, leaving me speechless.
Around Cliff, the air scorched and began to char the surroundings… I could smell something burning.
”Oh my? You are… yes, Cliff, aren’t you?”
”So what?”
’Depending on the outcome of the mediation event, other events might be triggered, or the bond with the person I saved could deepen. It’s troublesome~‘
Cliff retorted in a low growl, and Heidemarie put on a contemptuous expression.
”—The son of a traitor.”
Cliff’s expression vanished.
”—Cliff Lindenthal.”
”My surname… is Griffith.”
Cliff murmured quietly, and the windowpane slowly began to melt.
’And these two have such bad compatibility that the commotion escalates. Because of that, other main characters might gather, which is the worst.‘
Just as the voice said, the students who had been watching from a distance began to flee in a panic once Cliff’s emitted heat exceeded their tolerance.
”Is that not your mother’s surname? You were on the verge of becoming a Holy Knight, yet you ultimately chose to be a woman, spread your legs for that traitor, and closed off your path, you harlot.”
Cliff swung his fist without a word. It was on a trajectory to strike Heidemarie’s face with pinpoint accuracy.
”—Oh, my apologies.”
But in Heidemarie’s hand, I was there.
”Aaaah!!?”
”Reina!?”
Hot, hot, hot, hot! Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain! Hot, pain, hot, pain, pain, hot, pain, pain, hot, pain!
”Kukuku… I bet this one didn’t expect to be hurt by the hero either.”
”You…!”
My body began to unravel from where his fist touched me. Even desperately trying to adapt with Evolution, it wouldn’t heal. It wouldn’t regenerate. My sturdy body, built up over so long, my body that had one foot in the demonic realm, was easily broken.
’Ughhh^p^… At this rate, I’m screwed. All the main characters have base specs that are orders of magnitude higher, and their inherited blessings are official cheats. If I get caught up in their fight at this stage, I’ll die easily. I can’t even control myself right now (what?).‘
Heal! Heal! Heal! Heal! Heal! —It was useless, no matter how many times I repeated it in my mind. Boiling blood was sent throughout my body from the center of my scorched chest, and my consciousness threatened to slip away.
”Let go of Reina!”
’That’s right! Let go of her!‘
”Why must I take orders from you? It’s this commoner’s fault for ignoring the likes of me, a noble.”
’Well, I guess that can’t be helped then.‘
”Aaaah—”
A fan was thrust into my boiling wound and stirred slowly. My scream couldn’t become a sound.
”Stop it!”
”Oh my, did I mishear? I thought I heard something out of line.”
’Hehehe, woof woof! Woof woof!‘
Heidemarie deliberately tormented me in front of Cliff, making sure he could see.
”Look, look, this little piglet is crying because she doesn’t like pain~”
’Cuiiiin.‘
She pushed up my nose with her fan and happily made “oink oink” sounds. Her utterly disrespectful behavior, her lack of consideration for others, made me acutely aware that I was not being treated as a human being. I wished she would just leave me alone, but Cliff was still glaring at Heidemarie—
”—Cliff Lindenthal.”
Heidemarie called out to him, her voice dropping an octave.
”—Lick my foot.”
I felt my throat constrict at those words.
’A reward, isn’t it?‘
”You…”
Both Cliff and I were speechless.
”Unless you crawl and lick my foot, this little piglet will remain my toy forever, desuwa. Even if a teacher comes and we escape this situation, as long as this little piglet attends school, I will continue to bully her.”
”—Tch.”
’This is beyond a time loss, so please, for goodness sake, stop.‘
…Ah, I am, right now… making Cliff unhappy.
”No matter where this little piglet is, I will find her and humiliate and trample her before your eyes, in public… My blessing works very effectively, after all.”
’The latter bosses have abilities like Ha-oh-shoku Haki that nullify those with below-minimum combat power, like Heidemarie. Training is important, you know… Homo-chan, did you learn that the hard way?‘
I understand, I understand, so… please, do something like you always do.
”Now, will you abandon the woman you tried to save for the sake of your pride, or will you lick another woman’s foot in front of the woman you like—Choose, Cliff Lindenthal.”
I had kept him away, so things like this wouldn’t happen. I had tried to avoid getting involved with anyone.
”…If I lick your foot, you’ll release Reina?”
”D… don’t…”
’Hurry up and lick it! I’m losing time here!‘
Please, just leave me alone… Nothing good will come of this for me, or for Cliff.
”You? …It’s fine, you know? I don’t necessarily want you to lick it.”
’See! Ask sincerely! Ask to be allowed to lick her foot! And end this event quickly!‘
She, Heidemarie, intended to utterly crush Cliff’s pride. Because I made the wrong choice, Cliff would be hurt.
”…Tch, …Heidemarie-sama’s, foot… please let me… lick it.”
’Well said! That’s the spirit, man!‘
”I… I’m sorry… Cliff…”
It’s my fault. I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.
”…Well, fine. Lick my foot while savoring the honor of touching me, and swear that you will never again act so presumptuously.”
”…”
Please, stop—
—’Slurp‘.
Cliff knelt on the spot and licked Heidemarie’s foot right in front of me.
”Hehehe, that’s right, son of Lindenthal.”
’As expected, you like Cliff too, don’t you?‘
I closed my eyes, not wanting to see Cliff like that—and then surrendered to the pain and lost consciousness.
–
It’s only natural that you wouldn’t want to see a guy you like, respect, or find a little attractive licking another girl’s foot. Cliff’s dignity was also wounded, which is a huge bonus.
Notes:
• –
• Cliff – Son of First-Class Knight Lilia. Practices Flame God Style. Obsessed with defeating strong opponents, especially Reina Alcott after a humiliating loss.
• Heidemarie – Noble “villainess”; drill-curls, level 70, blessing paralyses weaker people, loves duels.
• Lindenthal – Cliff’s traitor dad’s surname, insult slung at Cliff.
