13 True ability

~

Three days have passed since the dragon attacks. It took me three whole days to get recovered from the injury. The princess told me she could invite the rest of the healer to increase the speed of the healing, but I turn her offer down.

It seems she felt guilty because her golem causes a misunderstanding and allow me to get injured. Other than that, there were a few things that change remarkably. First and foremost, my dear Emelia. She became more loving, and her resistance of me teasing her has improved tremendously.

Another aspect I realize is that the soldiers here become terribly kind to me. It felt surreal as if they are plotting something suspicious. It's not like I could do anything to them if I want.

Thirdly is how the princess change her tone whenever she saw Emelia. I wonder what happens during my absence. Initially, I asked Emelia, but she made a scary smile and told me to not worry about such things.

Oh well, I stayed here for far too long. It's time to start selling Eliza figurines.

"Y-You going to the main kingdom!!? W-Why!"

"Dear, I would like to start selling to get profit."

"Huh!? To get that B….. Princess money?"

Why does she hate the princess so much?

"Emelia, she only receives forty-five percent you know? Furthermore, I would like to invest some money to build my own orphanage so that children won't have the same past as you."

"R-Raul…"

"I will come back every week or two, being here will surely affect your duty. I wouldn't want your commander to think that you are slacking off."

"You are not a burden to me Raul. It is fine if just live here with me. I can divide my salary with you. Please... stay?"

"Emelia, you wouldn't want to be a general all the way right? When I am successful, I will hire you as my bodyguard so that you can follow me. You could even go back to that very woman that I fall in love with."

Suddenly Emelia's eye was shining.

"I… I misunderstood you… Forgive me, Raul!"

She made a ninety-degree bow that gives me a shock.

"I thought you were trying to escape from me…"

"EMELIA! I wouldn't do that to you. It's quite late. I'll go pack my things for tomorrow trip."

"Alright, I finish up my night patrol before I'll join you."

Yes, you heard it right. We had started sleeping together. Don't think about anything else. It's literally sleeping together in one bed. We didn't do anything else. First was because Emelia still hasn't enough operating system to handle it.

Whenever I touch, she started to freeze and can't talk properly. She always nods for me to continue but I don't have the heart if she is not enjoying it wholeheartedly.

Second, the wall of the dormitory is not soundproof. I could even sometimes hear people snoring from the room beside me.

Imagine if she started moaning, it would raise suspicions either that or people will begin peeking at us. If her cover is blown, I don't think she can continue working here.

That night, Emelia was late, so I took a nap first. Knowing her, I am confident that nothing would happen to her.

~

Awoken by a nudge on my chest, I open my eyes to see Emelia sleeping posture. I didn't realize she would keep turning while she was asleep and sometimes will have a dream where she encounters an enemy.

Her hand would randomly swing around. This time I was stabbed in the chest. Luckily, she didn't bring her sword with her to sleep.

I would get a bigger bed next time we sleep together, so she will have a lot of space to do her fighting. Seeing that it is way too early for me to go, I continued to stare at her lovely face. I wonder if I could restrain myself not seeing her after this.

I am still a virgin in this world anyway. I could go to the brothel, but I would love to have Emelia to be my first women. Oh well, I need to get myself busy enough so that I don't think any strange thoughts when I am away.

Hmm. I won't see her for a week or two, so I should do something daring for once. I slowly approach Emelia, I close my eyes and kiss her on the lips.

I didn't back away and slowly sucked and taste her lips. I was trying to get some moment with her. I didn't think that she would be awake though.

After I open my eyes, I was shocked to see Emelia looking straight back at me with an embarrassing face.

"S-Since when?"

"When you started staring at me."

"Isn't that the beginning!?"

"I-I apologize, I could sense if someone is staring at me thus my body would usually force me to be awake.

Knowing that you were staring at me while smiling, I felt happy thus didn't want to disturb the moment thus I continued pretending to sleep. I-I didn't think you were daring enough to kiss me though."

"Ah… Well embarrassing enough, I didn't want to leave just like that."

"I did tell you that I am ready for sex though."

"Yeah, while speaking at if you are a robot."

"Robot? What's that?"

"Anyway, I know you aren't ready. I don't want to force anything on you."

"….Mhm. T-Thanks darling."

"You are welcome, my dear. Now it's time isn't?"

"Time?"

"Your soldiers are probably standing waiting for your arrival."

"E-Ehh!! W-Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"I was busy kissing you isn't?"

"D-Darling that's not an excuse to use!"

"I'll be waiting at the carriage."

"Huh?"

"You aren't accompanying me back to the Kingdom?"

Emelia smile and nodded her head.

"Okay! I'll try not to be late."

~

She told me that she wouldn't be late, but I've been waiting for three hours straight. I don't mind if I got something to do but standing here will attract a lot of these horny mosquitoes, lusting for my blood.

Damn, I really got to find a way to kill them soon.

"Are you Raul Evergreen?"

"Yes? May I help you?"

A woman wearing Armor approach me while giving me a disgusted look.

"I've been told to accompany you to the Kingdom."

"Did something happen to Anderson?"

"...… He was the one that assigns me to the job saying He doesn't have the time for you."

"Oh… Okay. Well, hop on then. Do you know how to handle the horses?"

"I was told to only protect you during the journey not to listen to your order."

"Er…"

"That will be fifty copper coins."

"..."

She got a grudge on me or something? What is wrong with her? Let's try to move the horse.

Hopefully, it will be alright. After the soldier had boarded the carriage, I lightly move the rope to hit the horse. Oh, the horse move! I didn't think it would be this easy.

"Turn the carriage around stupid. We are going in the opposite direction."

This woman…

Anyway, I don't know how to turn the carriage around anyway. Let's try pulling the rope to the left. The horse is slowly turning the whole carriage to the right. So that's how it works, inverted direction huh? This is interesting. I don't know how to stop the carriage though. Oh well, let's worry about that later.

After turning it around, I direct the horse in the correct direction. While driving, I accidentally hear her whispering to herself.

"See, he knows how to handle it himself. He probably was lying to you, boss."

Why is she so angry about?

There wasn't much to do other than ensuring that the direction is going the correct way. I was getting bored and decided to talk to her.

"Miss, what's your name?"

"...… Miri."

"Why did you join the army?"

"Why do you want to know? Are you the type to look down on women?"

Emelia herself is a general, though I can't use that reasoning on her huh.

"The princess is strong enough. Why would I look down on you guys? Any reason why you join the army?"

"I wouldn't tell you anyway. Watch out!"

"Eh?"

Turning around I saw a group of wolves baring their fangs at us. Our horse immediately stops and started to panic. I tried my best to calm them down but miserably failed.

"Y-You! Give me the rope!"

She snatches the rope from me and manages to make the horses stop moving.

"Pathetic man, can't even handle this. Why don't you go and kill yourself? I can't believe the person that boss like is this weak."

Hey, it can't be help, I suddenly appeared in this world. I'm from the modern world for goodness sake. It's even rare for me to be able to touch a horse. It's not like you will believe my words anyway.

"You... stay there, if you get hurt, I'm the one that suffers."

She draws out her sword and engages the wolves. As expected of a soldier train by Emelia, she is good with her sword. It took her three swings to kill a wolf. If this continues, she will win unless…

I really should shut my bloody mouth.

A werewolf suddenly pounces on her. Miri manages to block, but in return, her sword flew away.

"A w-werewolf in this forest!? This can't be. You run away now!"

I didn't think she would sacrifice herself to save me, such a kind person huh.

"What are you waiting for stupid!?

Her choice of words is merciless though. Oh well if this continues, I would die as well. I took out one of the swords that I accidentally made during my staycation of three days.

"Catch!"

Even though she was caught off-guard, she manages to grab the sword.

"W-Where did you get this powerful weapon from?"

Eh? Why did the weapon glow when she holds it? It didn't happen to me at all when I created it. Can you tell me the reason why system?

[The weapon that you have been making has magic properties, it is designed, to convert the user magic power into the weapon.]

You didn't tell me at all…

[You didn't ask.]

"What are you dazing out for?"

"Huh?"

What about the werewolf? I immediately saw the body of the werewolf.

It was split into two.

"Anyway, where did you get this weapon? Can I have it? This is so powerful."

"Sure, it serves as a thank you gift that you have protected me."

"R-REALLY!?"

That's an indeed change of character. What happens to that disgusted expression from before?
