Chapter 2: Price of renting clothes.

I looked at Lina, who was still tied to the pillar.

She's far inferior to elves and saints, who are said to be beautiful races, but I thought she had some decent breasts.

The pink nipples on her thick chest caught my eye.

Is that all?

Atop her shapely legs, visible through her torn skirt, her genitals barely conveyed her visible tension.

"Hmm..."

"City!!!"

After admiring her body for a while, I saw Lina screaming at her in pain again.

"What?

I said that with a casual expression while looking at Lina.

She's quite a feast for the eyes, but that's it.

I didn't want anything to do with her; she's the one inside. Her previous life. had nothing to do with me.

"City!!"

"Well, even if you ask me, I can't answer."

I slowly walked up to Lina and removed the gag from her mouth.

"What are you looking at? You pervert!"

When the gag was removed, Lina screamed, her face red.

She laughed out loud at that reaction.

"It's true that people..."

Of course, she wasn't like that. She scolds her security guard for saving her.

But it's also true that she got out of her crisis thanks to me.

Despite this, Lina didn't thank me and started getting angry.

She had no reason to be disappointed.

Originally, people took the kindness of others for granted.

No, it seems that most intelligent beings, not just humans, have similar tendencies.

``Don't just watch; solve it quickly!''

Lina twitched her arm and spoke as if giving an order.

I just looked at her and didn't lift a finger.

She had no reason to let her go.

No, from the very beginning, when I told the goddess of her wish to turn back time, I had set a principle.

``There is no goodwill without compensation.''

It was a promise not to have goodwill toward anyone without a reason.

Of course, the old man in the ghetto received so much that he had to think about how to pay it back.

However, although the woman named Lina did not do anything special for me, she did not do anything that I could not do.

"What are you doing? Can't you hear me?"

"...Why me?"

"What?"

"Why should I let you go?"

I looked at Lina and asked.

She couldn't answer my very simple question.

It remained expressionless with its mouth open.

``As expected, there is no reason to release you.''

When I slowly turned around, I saw Lina, who couldn't answer.

Her lower body reacted to that appearance, but it was because she didn't want to trouble the old man in the ghetto and the village.

"What, what? Um, do you want to go?"

"Ah, if I'm lucky, someone will help me."

I answered, looking back at Lina, who was at a loss for words.

That's right.

To be honest, I don't know if there are other people in this abandoned house other than Boy Paril.

And Lina knows it too.

"Hey, you bad guy! If a woman is in danger, of course you should help her!

Maybe she was afraid of being alone.

Lina burst into tears at me.

Her words made me stop and look at her again.

Of course, that didn't change her mind.

It was hard for her to bear, as all she heard were harsh words.

"There is nothing normal in this world. Even if I was bullied by the Palils, you would have turned a blind eye."

"That, that..."

Still, she was lying. I couldn't find it. Lina stopped at my question.

Please stop.

I really told her that her business was out of hand and that she was trying to make her stride to go out again.

``Go, I'm not asking for free help.''

``...Yes?''

``...If you help me, I'll give you money.''

In Lina's words: I stopped her again and looked at her.

I wondered how much money a country girl in a rural corner would have, but now I was living with an old man in a ghetto.

Of course, I could earn some money by cutting trees, but it was really very little.

``So, how much is that?''

``...is a harsh 30 shillings enough?''

Perhaps she didn't know she was going to receive real money, Lina said coldly to me. said.

30 shillings.

It was a small amount of money, but I thought I could buy something delicious to feed her.

Of course, that was a pretty small amount to save the infamous Paril family.

``Well, it wasn't hard at all.''

Just untying the knots on the poles was no small thing.

"Ah, it hurts."

When I untied her, Lina grabbed her wrist and said as she grimaced.

No matter how tightly Paril tied her, he could see the red rope marks on her wrists.

"What are you looking at?"

When I looked at her wrist, Lina blushed and started throwing a tantrum again.

Originally, I couldn't remember if it was her personality to be so angry.

She had no connection between her and me; other than that, she lived in the same city anyway.

``Money?''

``...Of course, I can't be there right now. I'll give it to you later.''

When I looked at Lina, who was talking with a sad expression, Lina nodded slightly and seemed reluctant to leave anything behind. I tried to leave the place.

``Hey! That's right, give me something to cover me with! I can't go out like that.''

Lina grabbed my wrist and said,.

It seems impossible to go out with my chest held out.

But I didn't have much to wear.

First of all, I didn't know that Lina was being held by the Paril boys.

``What?''

Lina couldn't hide her surprised expression at my words, but she nodded.

After confirming her positive answer, I took off her top without hesitation.

"What are you looking at?"

I asked while holding out Lina's naked body.

That's because she was staring at my naked body with no expression on her face.

The light shining through the window made her face look a little cute.

"I mean. Do you exercise?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Oh, no. I just want to easily defeat the guard boys."

Seeing Lina talking nonsense, I lightly touched her neck. I shook it, and it left my lungs.

Mixing her words with her own didn't seem very good to her.

``Hey, there you are! Thank you for today.''

A voice seemed to come from behind her, but she had no intention of stopping her steps. When I got home, an old man from the ghetto saw me and asked,

No wonder he was surprised to see a man who had gone out fully clothed emerge shirtless.

``It's no big deal.''

``It's no big deal, but why are you walking around without clothes?''

I asked the old man in the ghetto with a puzzled look on his face. .

There were some conflicts with the villagers, but the old man in the ghetto was a local who was born and raised in this village.

Of course, rumors about the Paril Gang must have reached Old Man's ears, as he also ran a small grocery store in a part of town.

"I heard you. Rather, what did you do? Was it a surprise attack?"

"What is an ambush?" Didn't I tell you I'm stronger than you thought?

``People who always cut down trees are strong. Tell me, what are you really doing? Will the Paril boys do any harm later on?"

When I saw the old man in the ghetto talking with a worried look on his face, I smiled with a relieved look on his face.

"Don't worry, old man. As long as I'm here, they won't do any more harm to anyone."

"So, how did you defeat them?"

Came from

The old man scratched his head in confusion. The ghetto, in response to my words, could not believe it at all.

Honestly, I can't call myself a hero after fighting the Demon King's army for nearly 20 years.

``As you know, it's an inspiration. Actually, the tips for using an ax and the tips for swinging a sword are similar.''

``What kind of nonsense is this?''

``So the lumberjack is an old man. It means you're much stronger than I thought.''

``...

I laughed when I saw the old man in the ghetto shaking his head.

In any case, the old man in the ghetto did not ask me any further questions about the matter, as if my words had greatly allayed his fears.

The reaction of inspiration to revisiting the words wrapped in ice was a strange one for me as well.

Of course, the way a lumberjack used an ax was not like the way he used a sword, but there was no way an old man in the ghetto who had never held an ax in his life would know that.

For some reason, I wondered if the old man needed an excuse to believe my words.

**

"Hah, it's pretty rusty."

A few days have passed since the incident with the Paril boy.

As I waved a branch in the air in my backyard, I murmured to myself.

Before I awakened as a hero, it was true that I couldn't move satisfactorily because of my body.

No, if you think about it, it's only natural that after defeating the Demon King and not holding a sword properly for several years, he stopped being able to use proper techniques.

``First, I need to build some muscle.''

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I made plans for the future.

I had no intention of fighting the Demon King and dying at the same time, like before.

I was planning to regain my fastest and most powerful skills and leisurely defeat the Demon King's army.

"Before that..."

I looked at the fence on the other side of the backyard.

That's because I felt that a strange gaze was always watching me.

I saw a familiar figure between the wooden fences.

It seemed like she was trying to hide well, but Lina was completely visible from this side.

Her brown hair was visible through the low fence.

"Hmm, it's hot."

He deliberately took off his sweaty jacket in front of Lina.

I didn't really want anything, but I found Lina's reaction when she saw me naked yesterday to be interesting.

I could hear her rustling as I approached her fence shirtless.

Lina, who was secretly looking at me, may have been surprised, and she raised her voice.

"What? ``Do you have a hobby of spying on others?''

``Hey!''

I looked over the fence and asked Lina.

She probably didn't know she was going to talk to her, but she saw Lina backing up behind her. yells at her in shock. Thanks to

I could see her white underwear through her short skirt.

"Oh no! I'm just here to give you the money."

Lina jumped out of her seat and screamed at me, her face red from the heat.

"That's right."

I softly replied to Lina's words and held out my hand to her.

I saw Lina staring at my hands, clenching her fists in anger.

``Well, since you're still a guest, why don't you invite me over for tea?''

Lina said that while watching my back at our house.

Hearing her words, I turned and looked at the house.

By chance, an old man from the ghetto left his house to look at a store.

She didn't mean to hurt Lina, but she also wasn't going to give in when the time came.

``Yeah, anything is fine.''

Lina said she was going home alone, so I said that with a smile.

Unless she was stupid, she couldn't understand what it meant for a man and a woman to be in the same room.

By the way, I recently fell down and noticed that the bottom of my underwear was a little wet.
