CHAPTER 35- Annoying adventurer.

CHAPTER 35- Annoying adventurer.

(Pov- Kei.)

Uffffff. With all the eagerness to brag, I must say that my meals are getting more and more delicious. Officially I can say that I am fully prepared to be a housewife!

Putting that joke attempt aside, my food really is delicious. It was worth all those hours of study and trial and error.

I was quite satisfied with this meal before I went to the guild.

Mei is training with my mother, but I left food ready for her, so she can eat when she returns.

"Well, it's time to move on."

I've been very patient with the guild. I'm strong enough to be a Class A adventurer, even S.

Class A adventurers are considered national heroes, and I am more than sure that Crisfa's name is spreading rapidly throughout the country, thanks to my achievements.

I took care of eliminating all the class B monsters in the country, and a couple of class A monsters... Well, all the monsters known and who were on the guild's available missions.

My mother, as the holy and good person she is, allowed me to miss training this month so that I could grow Crisfa's reputation, although I suspect she will make me train twice as much afterwards.

I can't continue to be a class D adventurer after all my achievements... Well, the achievements that my team has accomplished.

Drin and Eris, although still arguing quite a bit, I think they are starting to treat each other better. Eris has a lot of potential in her physical strength, and Drin specializes more in magical attacks.

Eris and I are the group's tank, and Drin protects us from a distance.

We don't need someone skilled in healing magic, as Drin and I are experts in healing magic. What we need is someone else to strike at a distance, so Drin is not at a disadvantage in her position.

Mio and Nem have interesting but weak magic, though that doesn't mean they can't improve.

Mio and Nem have demonic magic, so Drin is teaching them how to improve it.

Demonic magic and angel magic are the two most powerful but incompatible attributes between them. The angel magic I have would be quite useful to me for defeating demons, as I did once in the past, but using it a little expends too much magic power, so I must find a way to be able to use it using little magic power.

Mio is showing great progress, but she still has a long way to go.

And Nem wastes a lot of time eating, but I don't tell her anything because I don't dare. Poor girl, she went hungry for a long time, I must let her enjoy the food.

Returning to the main topic, I need to get up to class C, but now. The guild master is being silly and making excuses for not putting me in the C class. She tells me it's too early, to wait for more time, that I still have more achievements to go, blah, blah, blah. I have tried to be understandable, after all, yes, it is true, I recently began to be an adventurer, but considering that the group of adventurers I met on the first day, are already C-class adventurers, I have decided to stop being understandable and act. I'll give the guild its last chance today.

Ah, yes, I also confirmed that the adventurers I met on the first day do indeed belong to the generation of false heroes. They are very powerful, although they still have a long way to go to reach me, or Eris.

But I decided not to get involved with them. Why? I researched them. They are all orphans and donate the money they get from missions to orphanages, just like my father.

They use their free time to help care for children in orphanages... They only became powerful to be able to help the orphanages that always helped them. I will not involve them with my mission, as they do not share the same interests as I do, and by interests, I mean religion.

They are very religious and pray to Fravi. Even orphanages have statues of that useless Goddess. Getting involved with them is very dangerous, as Fravi could manipulate them into killing me.

Well, back to the topic, they're C-class adventurers, even though they have fewer accomplishments than I do. I am being discriminated against! And I will not allow this situation to continue like this.

I seriously warned the guild master not to treat me as if I were an inferior being, but I think my warning was passed through the ovaries. Today I will give her the last chance.

"Master Kei, your clothes are ready."

"Thank you very much, Treka."

"Shall I help you change your clothes?"

"That's a good joke."

"It's not a joke."

—... "No, but thanks for the offer."

I took the clothes and went into my room.

I am very grateful to have the help of Treka and the other maids. I always end up bathed in blood, both from my enemies and mine, so having people who know how to wash makes things easier for me.

I kept the clothes in my [Magic Storage], along with some special clothes I just got.

These clothes can not only regenerate with magic, they can also grow in size and adapt to our bodies. Perfect to be able to dress up as Crisfa when necessary.

Thanks to Drin, I managed to get this special clothing, as Drin taught me how to create it. Some demons grow in size when they get angry, so this type of clothing is very common in hell.

I left my room and went downstairs, where Treka was waiting for me, smiling at me.

Ah, having friends who don't want to rape me feels great. How do I know it? Treka has a boyfriend! And since I know that she is a kind girl and understands that I have a lot of confidence in her as a friend, I know that she will never try to be my girlfriend or anything like that! Having true friends feels so good, though I miss having male friends.

I have no male friends and my brothers are idiots, I prefer not to interact with them.

"Would you like me to accompany you on your mission, Master Kei?"

"No, but thanks for the offer. If you help me, Crisfa's reputation would be in jeopardy and it would appear that his achievements were only made by an A-class adventurer."

"Oh, that's a pity. And your companions Nia and Eris? Didn't they cause you any trouble?"

"Of course not, but I appreciate the concern. See you later."

"Fufu. Glad to see you full of confidence, Master Kei."

She stroked my head... Wow, wow. At times like this I really feel like a little kid.

"Be careful."

"I will have it!"

I left the house and ran away at full speed.

My mother has already met Drin... Well, Nia. And fortunately, she hasn't suspected anything, she just suspects that she and I have another kind of relationship, but she didn't say anything about it. I guess she doesn't care about my love life.

"Today is your last chance, master of the guild. Your last chance."

I'm tired of waiting.

"Fufu. It's a nice day. It's the perfect day to have a date. Don't you agree, darling?"

"Yes, I agree. It's sunny, but the air is fresh. It's pretty relaxing."

"I totally agree, darling!"

"You are in a good mood, Drin."

"Sure! I feel wonderful."

"Yes... Although it's a bit disturbing for you to say that when you're sitting on the corpses of a group of bandits, nya."- Said Eris.

The mission was to defeat a group of bandits who looted a village, kidnapped villagers and took their organs and then sold them.

Drin defeated them easily and was sitting on their corpses, which showed clear evidence of torture, by Drin, but also by Kei, who was angry because he failed to rescue anyone alive.

And there were also corpses with the skulls destroyed and crushed, because they were defeated by Eris, who killed them using her great hammer.

"It's a shame we haven't found anyone alive."- Kei said.

"Hmmm. I have a question, darling. For lack of time, I only researched the S-class adventurers and your family when I came to this country, but I've been learning a lot lately from this country. I'd like to know why bandits are trafficking organs."

"Well, to sell them, you idiot! Why else would they want them? Are you sure you're not mentally retarded, nya...? Hmmmmh!"- Eris said, before Kei covered her mouth with his hand.

"There is no time for you to fight again. You fought each other while we were fighting the bandits. I already told you that... Huh? E-Eris!"

He removed his hand immediately, as he felt his hand being licked.

"That's unhygienic! My hands are full of blood!"

"Fufu. As long as it's in your body, everything will taste delicious to me, nya."- Eris said, tasting her lips, which were stained with the blood on Kei's hand.

"Ahhhhhhhh!!! I'll kill her!"

"No, Drin! Don't start a fight! Let's have respect for the dead villagers!"

"Tsk. Okay, but only because you tell me to, darling."

"And back to your doubt. Not everyone is capable of developing healing magic as powerful as ours, Drin. We, if we develop lung cancer or if our kidney no longer serves us, we simply destroy it and replace it with another one with our healing magic, but normal people cannot do that. The few people with healing magic as powerful as ours, do not help people recover from their diseases for free, they charge too much money. Bandits sell those organs on the black market, and the people who need them buy them."

"Oh, yes, I understand more."

"Although its main use is cannibalism and dark magic, nya."

"Ah, yeah, Eris is right. Cannibalism is a big problem in this world, although I don't understand why. La carne humana no es tan buena (Human meat is not so good). And dark magic becomes more powerful by doing satanic or diabolical rituals, and they use organs as ingredients for those rituals... Ah, this world becomes more and more mysterious to me."

"So what are we going to do now, darling?"

"Let's go to the guild. I hope to move up to the C class this time."- Kei said.

He opened his [Magic Storage].

"Let's keep the bodies of the villagers, we'll take them to their relatives."

"Ah, I hate this part of the job. The cleanse."- Said Eris.

"A cat who hates bathing and cleaning? Who would have guessed? Even she smells like shit, darling."- Said Drin.

"I bathe more than you, nya!"

"With your tongue it doesn't count."

"At least I don't bathe in baby blood, demon!"

"I-I only did it once, dar...! I-I only did it twice, darling! Don't listen to her!"

—...

—...

Both Kei and Eris fell silent and exchanged glances between them.

"Ah... Well... I was just kidding... Did you really do it?! Are you crazy, nya?!"

"Eris, her past doesn't matter... But, Drin, don't mention it out loud again, not all people are so sympathetic to your situation."

"Y-yes. Sorry, darling."

"Well, let's go to the guild."

"Let's go! I need a good drink to forget what I just heard, nya."

•

•

Kei and Drin, in their forms as adventurers, entered the guild.

Eris entered with them while hugging Kei's arm. He wanted to refuse, but he felt so good, he couldn't refuse.

That action by Eris might anger Kei's fiancées if they find out, but Kei plans to tell them that, although she wants to have him as a boyfriend, he refuses, because he is engaged to them.

A lie quite necessary to keep Eris safe, plus Kei is known to be an honest guy, so his fiancées would not doubt him.

"I'll talk to Kisma. You look for an interesting mission."

"Yes."

"Yes, nya!"

The girls walked away from him and Kei approached Kisma, the guild's employee.

While Kei was waiting his turn to talk to Kisma, who was attending to another adventurer, a certain adventurer was watching him with some interest.

"Tsk. I wonder if the rumors are true."- The adventurer thought, crossing her arms.

Kei's turn came and approached Kisma.

"Good afternoon. I'd like to speak to Mirkia, please."

"Sorry, she is not in the guild at the moment. She'll be back in two weeks."

"Wow, wow. I see... Well, my companions and I finished the mission."

The employee's eyes turned completely blue and she looked at Kei.

"Yes... Fine... Yes, you accomplished the mission. I will bring you the reward."

"Please wait. I think I deserve to be a class C adventurer. Will they give me that class yet?"

"I'm sorry, you must wait longer."

"But... The adventurers who helped me defeat the Orcs are already class C adventurers... And I'm more powerful than them. Even my accomplishments are more and better. Why does the guild keep refusing to move me up a class? It doesn't make sense."

"I'm sorry, you must wait more... I am sorry."

Kei knew he was being treated like this because he was a man... If a man goes up in class quickly, adventurous women would feel humiliated. That's why they keep Kei from becoming a C-class adventurer.

Kei knew that could happen, but he thought they would make an exception with him, but it wasn't.

"Just for being a man, huh? Wow, wow. I see... I resign from this guild."

"Huh?!"

"Give me the reward. I'll go."

Eris heard that and quickly approached Kei.

"Are you resigning from the guild, nya?!"

"We'll go to another guild."

"P-please, you can't leave. If the guild master finds out, she'll be mad at us."

"That's not my problem... Eris, pick up the reward, I'll wait for you outside."

"Yes, nya."

"Please think it over!"

"Goodbye."

Kei was about to leave the guild, but an adventurer stood in front of him and watched him with contempt.

The adventurer wore black long stockings, white underwear and a black vest.

She had long red hair, somewhat small breasts and pointed ears.

She was an Elf. She looked like a 15-year-old girl, though she was older.

Her clothing style is very revealing, but adventurers who fight using bows and spears wear light clothing for better mobility. It is likely that she is an adventurer who uses a spear or a bow.

"Are you resigning from the guild, crybaby?"

"I don't have time. Move please."

"No. If you kneel and say: "Please, Goddess Nisei, let me through." Maybe I'll let you through."

"I don't have time for this."

Kei used his arm to forcibly move her and left the guild.

When he came out, he turned completely red.

"W-why the hell are they wearing skimpy clothes?! I really can't get used to this!"- He thought nervously.

A slight shiver ran through his entire body.

A warning of danger.

"Damn inferior!"

"Huh?"

Kei received a severe blow to the head and flew out.

He was about to collide with an old man, but stopped in time and jumped over the old man, somersaulted in the air and landed on the ground, managing to avoid colliding with the old man, who quickly fled the scene in the face of the inevitable fight that was about to occur.

"Sorry, sir."- Kei whispered, apologizing to the old man who had already left.

Nisei approached him. In her hands she had a spear and was furious.

Furious to be touched without any respect.

Furious to be ignored.

Furious at not receiving the respect she thinks she deserves.

"Nobody touches me, inferior!"

"You can't fight with an adventurer! It's forbidden!"

"You resigned! I can fight with you!"

"Ah... Oh… Shit, you're right. What if we better solve this problem with dialogue, like the civilized people we are?"

"Lethal impact!"

With a quick movement, Nisei attacked Kei.

He tried to dodge it, but he didn't make it in time, Nisei's speed overtook him, realizing the enormous power that Elf possesses.

The spear pierced his left shoulder and, in addition to the damage from the piercing, began to receive a strong electric shock, which caused Kei's heart to stop for a few seconds.

Black rays surrounded Nisei. That kind of aura meant only one thing: perfect control.

Kei realized that she could control her magic to perfection, something that very few people in the world have achieved, and not even Drin has been able to master it.

"Die!"

"Fucking elf!!"- Drin shouted, furious.

Drin hit Nisei in the back with a kick to the head and she flew out.

Kei fell to the ground and steam surrounded him completely, which meant that his transformation magic was failing him.

Without the heart, no person can use magic, and as Kei's heart stopped beating for a few seconds, it caused him to lose control of his magic power.

"Shit. Why are Elves so aggressive?"- Kei said, as Drin lifted him up with her arms.

Drin carried him in her arms and ran away.

"Resist, darling!"

The steam disappeared.

Fortunately, Kei managed to maintain his form as an adventurer.

"S-shit... I think she was an A-class adventurer... Yes, she is very powerful... Shit, my body hurts."

And for someone like Kei to complain that something hurts, it means that the damage was more severe than it seemed.

"Do you want me to kill her, darling? I'd be happy to do it."

"No... It wasn't necessary. I just need to rest."

Drin growled, full of rage, but a simple caress on her cheek soothed her.

"I'll be fine, Drin. Thank you for your concern, but don't worry."

"But..."

"I'll be fine. Let's not get into unnecessary fights."

—... "It's okay, darling."

Kei closed his eyes and sighed.

"An adventurer capable of hurting me and defeating me... I must do it."- Kei thought.

•

•

Drin and Kei sat under a tree. They left the capital to rest. Kei continues to use his form as an adventurer. Drin told him to return to his normal form so that he would rest better, but Kei has something planned, he cannot return to his normal form yet.

He used his healing magic, so he's fine now.

"I lost 10% of my life points... That adventurer is very powerful."

Eris quickly approached them running

"Why did you leave me, nya!"

"Kei lost control of his transformation magic. I didn't want them to know that he is Kei Molfer."

"And what are we going to do now, nya?"

"There are two guilds in this country. The Capital Guild and the City Guild "Crimson"... And in that city is located the dungeon Fate... When the days of rest begin, we will go to the city. And we'll be back when classes start again... I have 4 days off, so that's good."- Kei said.

"Yes, it's fine."- Drin and Eris said, nodding.

Kei felt a shiver and moved his head to the right.

A spear pierced the trunk of the tree. That spear almost killed him. Fortunately, he noticed and moved his head, avoiding that attack.

"She really wants to kill me."

A certain person was running towards them in the distance.

Kei stood up and Drin began to growl.

"Fucking bitch!"

"Although I admit I'm surprised at her marksmanship, nya."

Nisei approached them running.

A spear appeared in her hand and she threw it.

"She can even create magical weapons, huh? That woman is dangerous."- Kei said, dodging the spear again by moving his head.

"Did you think you could hide from me?!"

"My magic is failing... I have no other choice. Drin, Eris, I'll take care of this."

Kei started running and closed his eyes.

"Feel the magic... The sound in the air..."

A spear almost killed him, but he dodged it perfectly, bending down.

Only by perceiving the sound and sensing the magical power emitted by the spear, Kei managed to dodge the spear without using his vision.

Why? Because he needs to use his other senses, to improve his magical control. More specifically, his sense of hearing and touch.

"Magic..."

Small red rays began to come out of his body.

"Use magic all over my body..."

While dodging Nisei's spears, Kei approached her.

"Tsk. You son of a bitch!"

Nisei threw another spear and Kei dodged it perfectly again.

He opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Now."

He stood in front of her and tried to hit her.

Nisei closed her eyes and prepared to receive the blow.

A blow that never came, because Kei stopped before hitting her.

"Huh?"

Nisei slowly opened her eyes. She was confused. Kei could hit her without any problem. Why didn't he do it?

"W-what? Why don't you hit me?"

"I'm sorry... You are so beautiful that I dare not hit you."- He said smiling.

"Beautiful? Me?"- She said confused.

Since she was a little girl, Nisei always trained her magic. She was never interested in men. And men were never interested in her. It is the first time a man has called her "beautiful", and that left her in shock, more so because she never imagined that there would be someone who considers her beautiful.

In this world, Nisei is considered an ugly girl, for her flat body and disgusting personality. Her power is the only attractive thing about her.

But, to Kei, she is beautiful.

She is considered ugly because she is not as beautiful as the other girls.

"It's the first time I've been told that... D-don't make fun of me! Your tricks won't work on me!"

"This is not a joke... You really are very beautiful... I'm sorry, I can't fight with you."

"W-what?"

Kei stroked her head and Nisei blushed.

"Can we stop fighting?"

"... He is powerful... He dodged my attacks and resisted my most powerful attack... Does he really consider me beautiful?"- She thought.

Nisei shook her head quickly and turned away from Kei.

"T-this isn't over yet! I'll forgive you for this time, but I'll kill you next time!"

Kei realized that she was attracted to him. He used his skill on her, as she was a strong adventurer.

Having her on his side was going to be very helpful.

"A girl who does not accept her feelings and who annoys the protagonist... Just what I was looking for. Now I just need to get a loli... And a trap."- Kei thought, although the latter said it jokingly, because in his world the term "trap" was very popular.

Kei said goodbye to her with a smile.

"Thank you. I'll be ready for our date."

"I-It's not a date, you idiot!"

Nisei ran away and the girls approached Kei. They were jealous and a bit annoyed, as Kei was flirting with her in front of them.

"Kei is from another world... In his world men are perverts... It all makes sense now, nya."

"You were flirting with her, darling. Now you must give us twice as much love."

Those words hurt Kei... It hurt him to hear those words. It hurt him to be considered a pervert... And it pained him that his possible future infidelity is forgiven simply by giving double the love to them, his girlfriends.

He felt like a disgusting man.

He felt like garbage.

"If I were a powerful and cool protagonist, I wouldn't do this… I need powerful companions... I was always bothered by the idea of having a harem... I wanted to fall in love with only one woman... Living a quiet life and having children... Unfortunately, I will never have that life in this world... I must have a harem to defeat Fravi... I didn't really want that..."

Kei began to cry... He considered himself a failure as a man. He hated the protagonists who had harem. He thought it was unfair for women to share a man... For Kei, having multiple girlfriends was the same as cheating on them.

The girls, seeing that Kei began to cry, did not know what to do, other than feel sad for him.

Eris's ears fell apart when she saw Kei sad.

"I hate the NTR... I always avoided reading manga and novels that had NTR... I also avoided stories where the protagonist had a harem... That always bothered me... And now I am a protagonist just like them... Drin, when I kiss Eris, I'm cheating on you... And when I kiss Drin, I'm cheating on you, Eris... I-I... I really hate that... I hate it with all my being."

He sat down on the ground and hugged his legs.

"I can't consider myself a real man... I know it is necessary... But it really hurts... My heart hurts... I'm pathetic, right? In my world, men dream of having a harem... But I just wanted to have a quiet life... Having a wife... Or a husband. Whatever... A child... A normal job... I didn't want to have an adventure... I miss my aunt... My cousin… My friends... That's why I accepted this mission... I'm sorry, I couldn't help crying... I became something I hate... Sorry."

Drin and Eris hugged him... They knew Kei hated the idea of having multiple girlfriends... He did it because it was necessary to do so.

They knew Kei loved them equally. He loved them, and that was enough for them, but that didn't mean Kei enjoyed it.

"Don't worry, darling. I know it's hard for you... But I'll give you all my support... We will defeat that useless Goddess together."

"You may think you're cheating on us, but we really don't care, nya. You really love us... And that's the only thing that matters to us, nya."

"If a girl in my world heard that, she'd look at me with disgust..."

"Yes... Of your world... But you're not in your world, nya. You must adapt to this world. People are different. The only thing important in a relationship is love... If you love us, the rest doesn't matter... I don't care if you have several girlfriends... After all, I know you don't do it because you want to, you do it because you need to, nya. I will always be by your side, Kei... I will support you with all my heart, nya."

"Me too, darling... Desmolfer has 5 husbands, so it's not weird for me."

"Do demons have multiple lovers, nya?"

"Yes. Men and women can have multiple lovers."

"It's normal for you..."- Kei said, much more depressed than before.

"D-don't worry, darling, I'm not interested in having another boyfriend! I love only you!"

"I wouldn't mind it."

"Huh?"

"I hate the NTR... But I'm cheating on you too... If you had another boyfriend, I would accept it... I have no right to complain... I don't have it..."

Kei got up from the ground and walked away.

"But... I would feel bad... The idea of you cheating on me is painful... But I don't have the right to complain."

"Darling, I would never cheat on you. I only love you."

"I'm sorry... I want to think… I want to be alone... Lo siento. Sorry."

"But..."

"See you at dinner... Goodbye."

Kei disappeared using [Teleportation] and Eris started crying. She felt bad for him... She knows he's a nice guy. He would never hurt someone who didn't deserve it. And seeing him cry broke Eris's heart.

"Kei..."

Kei used [Teleportation], something he only uses in emergencies. Drin knows better than anyone, and considering that Kei used it to stay away from them, it meant that he was more depressed than Drin thought, and she felt pretty bad that she couldn't be by his side, supporting him.

Her tears just fell to the ground, as she remembered Kei's tears.

"Darling..."
