Chapter 148 – Bunny

000

Amelia’s room. A mass of black magic spreads gently, coloring the pure white room purple. The source, of course, was Cleon and Amelia holding her hand.

Somehow, after using Lubera’s magic sword ability, which had already replenished her magic power her, and succeeded in transferring the imprint of her dominance her to Amelia, Cleon was adjusting her body her with the imprint.

“I’m sorry…”

Is it a strange feeling to have dark magic, which is normally wielded by those who are hostile to it, crawling over one’s body? Amelia gets a little bit of that out of her mouth, but neither Cleon nor Ruba say anything and do what they have to do in silence.

The place where Amelia was imprinted was just below her wound her. Gradually, the magic power spreading from there heals the wounds on her body.

However-

“First of all. The trauma seems to have been done with this… The pain. The scars that would appear after that would have disappeared. However, the seed inside… Even with the power of the imprint, you can’t pull it out perfectly.”

After Cleon healed her wounds for some time, she opened her mouth. Although the size of the crystal that grew out of her body her was noticeably reduced. It wasn’t completely gone. I could see with my own eyes that the imprint on the bottom of the wound and the wound were gradually connected, and it was clear that they were influencing each other.

The reason she couldn’t pull out the seeds with the power of imprinting was simple. Since the wound is Amelia’s body, it could be restored by adjusting her body with the imprint of her dominance, but in the case of the seed, it is in a state where it is not completely fused with the body, and it is outside the range of Cleon’s control. Because it wins

Furthermore, if you connect to the magic nerve and try to touch it, a fairly complex spell resists it, so it heals the wound and puts a lid over it with the power of the imprint to prevent it from growing further or going wild.

“It’s okay. If it’s weakened this far, I can suppress it with my holy magic.”

But Amelia bowed her head in gratitude and placed her hand on the black crystal that had grown from her wound her. Previously, just putting her hand here would cause tremendous pain. I couldn’t feel anything now.

“If the fighting calms down to some extent, I think it would be better to actually perform surgery and extract it.”

“Perhaps, if the demon that planted it is removed. The seed may also disappear.”

At Rubera’s words, Cleon nodded her head. He got up He left the house with the intention of going for a morning jog, but after spending quite a bit of time outside, it was now completely between breakfast and lunch.

“Anyway. Is this the end of what we have to do now? It seems like we have to go home for now.”

“I’ll keep an eye on Amelia’s condition a little longer. And, starting today, I’d like you to join the night patrol as well.”

Saying so, Ruba took out her small notebook from her bag and handed it to Cleon.

“…This?”

“As a companion of the Saint Princess, this is an essential requirement. Please be familiar with it.”

In it, there were a lot of rules written in the middle of the day. Precautions for actions to keep Amelia’s true identity from being discovered. The same manual was written in detail on how she should answer any questions from eyewitnesses, just in case.

On the first page, the title [With this, you are a companion of the Saint Princess!] Is written along with the pretty animal face illustrations.

“…Is this you?”

“…That’s right. Something, even dissatisfaction.”

Cleon was first surprised by the details of the contents. Looking at the picture on the cover, her handwriting her, and the structure of the sentences written with the reader in mind, I was a little impressed.

“It’s surprising.”

“… Excuse me.”

“No. Sorry. It’s as you said. Iona will like it.”

At Cleon’s words, Ruba was silent for a moment. Then she looked at her own notebook she had given her to Cleon and was about to talk.

“…”

With her mouth open, she pauses. His gaze her moved a little hurriedly from side to side, and something seemed to be rolling quickly in his head her. It was as if the words she was trying to say got stuck near her throat her. Her mouth her opened and closed two or three times.

“We’ll talk about this later.”

“What… Whatever you want.”

Cleon also notices that Rubera is trying to get her words out of her, which is hard for her to get out, and she does n’t try to force it. So, silence passed between the two of them once more. Barisada looks back and forth between the two for a moment, then sighs and packs her things.

“—The stamp of control that was on my hand.”

Before long, it was Rubera who opened her mouth first. The stamp of Cleon’s dominion that was engraved on the back of her hand. Now that it has been transferred from Rubera to Amelia. Of course, the imprint on her body was gone.

With this, Cleon and Rubera’s magic disappeared passage. She is also missing the order of the Wood Knocker family, which was one of the reasons that carved her imprint on her. She didn’t have to carve the stamp of her dominion on her again.

“When. Are you going to carve it again?”

However, as Ruba blushed slightly, she spoke hesitantly to Cleon, who was taller than herself, looking up at Cleon, who was taller than her. At that unexpected appearance, Cleon feels her own heart jump, but she quickly calms her heart.

“What, what is it… That annoying expression! The corners of the mouth are raised…!”

“Mi-sorry…But I didn’t expect Ruba to say that.”

At those words, Lubera clenched her fists, and she spoke to Cleon as if driving her nails her.

“Hah? Don’t be mistaken. I just need the imprint because the one with your dominance imprint is able to telepathize in an emergency and can be healed by you no matter what happens to my body.”

“Okay, okay. I don’t need it right now. When I have time.”

“Kuh… That laid-back attitude… It annoys me, really…!”

Amelia was quietly watching the two of them. Rubera’s attitude towards her Cleon is very different from her attitude towards herself. There must have been something that felt like that.

Is this a relationship between a man and a woman? Or, is it as a friend regardless of gender? Still young, she couldn’t come up with an answer to that.

However, Rubera’s slightly flirtatious appearance, which she did n’t show when she was with her, to Amelia, who could n’t interact with many of her people her.

It was another form of fate, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit of envy.

001

After passing through the dark tunnel, sunlight pours out from the sky again. Curiously, why is it that the one in Amelia’s room, which is closer to pure white than the outside, feels more dazzling? Could Amelia’s existence be the cause? Or was she intentionally made that way? The important thing was that even on the capital, where the sun had risen again, there were still a mountain of problems to be resolved. It is also necessary to think about where to start touching and whether something will explode if touched incorrectly. First, it was my turn to act.

After parting with Rubera for a while, Cleon, who left the Tower of Exile, looked down at the replica of the Ring of Convenience she was holding in her hand.

`Don’t go alone. It is the opposite for you to go into their lair alone.”

Said Ruba. If so, you might think that it would be okay for Lubera to come too, but since it was necessary to observe the progress of Amelia’s wound, first of all, individual actions. After arranging to meet again at the Shape Shifter’s bar at night, Cleon focuses his mind through imprinting. Among the multi-pronged flow of magical power, if you reach out to the passageway that shines the brightest golden color-

[What’s going on~ Cleon~]

Golden Holy Sword. It reached Caliburn.

[Caliburn. I need your strength Please come this way.]

[I was in the middle of helping Mr. Quon prepare lunch with Sasha~? Do I have to do it now~?]

Cleon is silent for a moment. Then, from the other side, only the sound of his hum her returned.

[Hey, how can it not be?]

[…Whoops. I can’t help it~]

Hearing her answer to her, the space suddenly opened and she flew in from the other side of her and came into Cleon’s waist.

Of course, it was the appearance of a sword in a scabbard.

[Then. Let’s go~]

She always speaks in a relaxed tone. Although it is her her personality her, because she boasts the highest output among her holy swords her, Cleon was relying on her power her even as she let out a sigh.

Cleon once again holds up the ring of convenience and confirms the direction it is pointing. As expected, if you follow the guide on the ring heading towards her back alley, you will know where Eustes is.

-By the way.

“Ah, Cleon! I was on my way to your house because Cleon had just arrived at the capital. Hmm? Is this work from now on? … Hmmm. Eustes…?! Okay! Then I have to help! Please lead the way!”

When passing through the city of the royal capital in the middle of the route, I met Iona. Iona is one of the few friends with whom Rubera opens her heart… Because she was close to him, she had been somewhat open to her about her circumstances.

[Iona is looking at this place as if she wants to be her companion her.]

For some reason, Cleon, who seemed to see such a phrase above her head her, accepted her companion her in order to be a little safer.

No matter how much I say that I am a half-sword, there are two swordsmen in the party. The party’s balance…

“Huh? It’s Cleon. I was on my way to meet Cleon… Iona is also with me. You said you’re going to subdue demons and rescue kidnapped people? What, if that’s the case, I’ll help. No Matter what anyone says, I’m a hero.”
And. On the way again, he meets Aruru. She was clearly dressed for battle, and even had the materialized Arondite with her.

[Aruru is looking at this place as if he wants to be her companion her.]

[Like that. Another one at the party. A warrior has been added.]

Cleon, who had been listening to Caliber’s calm narration, quietly grabbed the two of them by the shoulders and asked. How does he know he is here? And, I needed an answer to why Aruru was armed.

“…Both of you. Did you hear from someone?”

“Um, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Two people who clearly seem to know something. If he used the imprint of control, he would have been able to figure out the circumstances of the two. It’s probably what Lila was talking about anyway. Even if she does n’t have an imprint, she’s only able to use her telepathy. Thinking so, Cleon sighed and sent a telepathic message to Lyla.

[Thank you.]

[Yes, you! If you’re going to go out in the morning, do you say you’re going out and leave! How worried Quon and Sasha were because he suddenly disappeared-]

Cleon forcibly closes the channel.

Well. Let’s keep our gratitude in mind.

Then, after looking at the two people following him for a while, he let out a sigh and smiled bitterly.

“Shall we go. Extermination of demons during lunchtime.”

002

“…Hey. Cleon? No matter how open-minded Cleon is to us. We’re willing to do what Cleon wants.”

“Anyway, coming to a place like this is… A little…”

[… ♪]

Sensing the three people’s silent rejection, Cleon quietly closed his eyes and nodded his head.

The moment I entered the back alley, the bright sunlight of the day decreased in quantity like a lie, creating a thick shadow as if an invisible translucent film was spread over it. It was probably something created by demons or Astarothes who believe in demons. When entering this invisible barrier, little by little, I could feel in real time that the resistance to black magic in my body was decreasing. Originally, there would be no problem if it was Cleon, who had a strong affinity for black magic. There would be no problem with the two of them, one half a hero and one half a half-sex sword, since they were well versed in how to protect themselves.

It reminds me that for an ordinary person to enter a place like this, it is like walking slowly into the stomach of a gigantic devil. The back alleys in Ellesia looked like children’s play, it was a space close to darkness and close to hell. And. Cleon quietly opened his eyes, thinking that the current situation was like hell. Guided by the Ring of Convenience, they arrived at one of the many brothels in the back alley.

[Kamala Trail]

A signboard modeled after a pink-haired woman was displayed on the street in this place where magic lights sparkled even in broad daylight. Compared to the dirty streets around, it was clear that the floor around this window was cleaned, whether it was brushing as well as mopping.

And, this name Kamala Bass. Where have you seen okay. Yesterday, the flyer that the woman who had bumped into Cleon handed over was also the name of Chang-gwan Lee.

“To clear up the misunderstanding. Here’s Eustes.”

“…Eustes… You mean that Eustes Woodnocker, right?”

At Aruru’s words, Cleon nodded his head.

“Do you know each other?”

“Let’s say acquaintances. Names and faces. I was supposed to attend social gatherings of nobles on New Year’s Day and Victory Day… I don’t remember that I had a very good impression. Not only did the maids in my house flirt with me. Lost.”

If it’s that guy from the past, it’s worth it. Cleon and Iona nodded.

“I see… Eustes. Eventually, to the point where I even went to the Changgwan…”

“… Well, is it natural to think so.”

“Ahaha… Eustes grew up because of the events related to the Beast, but I guess it can’t be helped that more people remember him as impressions of the past.”

At Aruru’s words that seemed to be misunderstood, Cleon and Iona had no choice but to react to Aruru’s words with wry smiles.

“…But. I never thought that growth would become poison this time. It seems that I moved with a sense of responsibility, but the problem is that it was a more dangerous place than I thought.”

At Cleon’s words, Iona nodded her head.

Whatever. The three of them, who decided to go inside and check the situation, open the door of the store and go inside. I was able to see that a shop of a slightly different form than I thought was operating since daytime, receiving quite a few customers. The interior of the store was wrapped in stimulating light from the ceiling to the walls in pink and black tones. The materials were quite luxurious, so it was definitely not a store to stay in a back alley.

In addition, when I saw the waitresses carrying drinks and food, wearing black clothes with tights and bunny ears on their heads, Iona blushed slightly. .

“It’s less than the sex department…”

“Okay…”

But Aruru and Cleon said that and nodded their heads in response. With Cleon, who looked at the students of the sex department, who were expected to move half-naked or naked during class, almost every day, even though it was about a month and a half. As the chief, she had to be aware of the classes with other departments, so it was okay for Aruru, who had immunity to them to some extent.

“You two must have gone numb…”

Iona said that and fanned her face her. However, apparently Cleon had no choice but to be flustered by the fact that a place that looked like a window from the outside looked like a cafe or restaurant when you went inside. An employee who was working near the entrance walks over. She, like her other clerks, was wearing a highly revealing outfit inside. She was wearing a white coat-like outerwear and a hat with a brim on her head, so I could tell that she was a woman of a slightly higher class than the clerks around her.

In addition, the intense energy of black magic that you can feel the moment you come close.

‘Succubus…Did you wear a coat and hat to imitate a human?’

A coat to hide the tail and wings, and a hat to hide the horns. Cleon thought so, and when he met her eyes her as she approached her, she smiled her eyes and bowed her back.

“Welcome! To the best adult cafe in the back alley of the royal road! This week is Bunny Girl Week~ Is this your first time visiting the store?”

“…”

Yes. Where should I start tackling?

As Cleon tries to choose her words for a moment, Aruru opens her mouth first.

“That’s right. It’s my first time. It’s cute. Those clothes.”

“Thank you! The three of you are a party, right? Let me guide you to your seat.”

At Aruru’s light praise her, she smiled as if she was in a good mood and led the three of them to a table prepared for them. Iona and Cleon looked at Aruru for a while. Aruru smiles silently and gives her a thumbs up. Then, if you follow the clerk to the seat, you can see that the seat is separated by a wall, and there is a curtain between the aisle and the seat.

“First of all, please place an order for each person! Then, our staff will bring the food or drink ordered. That clerk is a clerk exclusively for customers this time, so you can do anything. If you want it, I’ll guide you to the second floor! There’s an extra charge!”

‘You’re properly serving as a Changgwan too.’

When Cleon thought that way and looked at the menu, he let out a sigh of relief when he saw that the menu consisted of more common sense than he thought. Of course, I had no intention of putting my food in my mouth.

“Wow, a dessert made with eggs from Helis…!”

Unbeknownst to her, Iona raises her voice, and Aruru’s and Cleon’s gazes are simultaneously directed at her. Certainly, Io remembers that I was very interested in this and that dessert, and Cleon wants to tell her to order it as well, but first of all, he thinks that finding Eusteth is the first thing-

“Then, here’s a heart bubble tea exclusively for couples. Oh, and whipped cream cake…”

“Aruru…?”

“Are you okay with three straws?”

“Yes.”

She is Cleon, who looked at Aruru, who was ordering alcohol, with an astonished expression for a moment, but she couldn’t order something like this because she thought she just wanted to eat it without thinking about it. He must be pretending to be an ordinary guest. Cleon thinks so and orders a simple meal for himself, and Iona also asks for the same dessert as he talked about.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

“…”

[Can I eat something too?]

“…”

Cleon quietly waits for the food to be served while listening to the natural voices of the two. Eventually, when a woman’s voice is heard from outside the curtain, such as ‘Keuk, keuuk…’, The curtain is slowly drawn back. Standing there, like the other clerk, was a woman wearing a bunny motif, her face flushed red. As if to put up with her shame her, she closed her eyes tightly and held a tray with the items her party her ordered in her hand her.

She was an ordinary beauty, with her hair in long wavy brown hair and her features well-groomed.

She wears silver earrings in her ears. She gently opens her eyes to move the food from her tray to the table with a slightly awkward movement.

And-

“Hey, Cleon…”

At the sound of her voice her calling her own name, Cleon turned to her face her.

Green eyes. She was looking straight at herself, no, her shuddering.

Her eyes her. Cleon and Iona knew.

“You-“
