Chapter 14 – Commitment

Did you mess it up..?

Really?

I?

That monster?

As I was staring at the frozen, smashed anaconda corpse with a blank expression, someone approached me and held out a hand.

“You did very well Rumia.”

Was a warrior

The warrior was holding out his hand to me with a bright smile.

Looking down at the hand held out in front of me, I carefully grasped it.

From the beginning, Lumia’s magic is very strong.

As if he wasn’t a wizard who was in a warrior’s party for no reason, when he first came in, his magic stats boasted horrendous stats that would be difficult to think of in the early stages. Therefore, it is impossible for an anaconda with weak magic resistance to survive even after being hit by my magic.

Even so, I hadn’t thought that I would die from being hit by other magic, not by simply freezing magic. Even in the game, the most damaging magic was fire magic or ice magic, but it was not so weak that it could die so easily.

Is this just me being strong?

“Great job.”

The man who had shouted at me earlier said that and passed me by.

What are we going to do with that..?

The tone of voice is quite cocky, but I don’t have enough skills to say anything, and I can’t speak, so I decided to put up with it from this side.

Yes, what I hold back is because I can’t speak, it’s not that I’m scared of him and can’t say anything. It looks like this, but even that guy couldn’t catch the anaconda, and he easily smeared it like eating a cake with magic.

If you attack, I’ll freeze you like before.

“Shall we go back to the carriage?”

Yeah, well… I caught the monster, and there was nothing left of the material of the dead monster because I had frozen and destroyed it, so there was no need to clean up. While everyone was going back to the carriage, I too tried to get up to go back to the carriage.

“..?”

Legs were weak.

I should have felt something strange when I sat down earlier, but this…

Just in case, I looked at the magic power remaining in my body.

Considering that he had less mana than before, it was clear that he couldn’t stand up due to the momentary sense of exhaustion caused by consuming a lot of mana. Somehow, I thought that anaconda would die easily, but with this much magical energy, how can I not die?

Rather, it’s more horror if you don’t die.

It means that it is an existence that I can’t catch with my own power.

“Are you tired?”

“…”

I reluctantly nodded.

To be honest, it’s not at the level where the power is released, but the power just doesn’t go into it at all.

I don’t know if it’s because the previous magic consumed a lot of power, or if I lost the power to move because I used a lot of power in an instant, but it was true that it was difficult to move right away anyway.

After, no

You shouldn’t sound weak.

If I collapsed like this and couldn’t even get up because I barely cast a spell, the adventurers around me might laugh at me. Just because Lumia used this amount of magic didn’t mean she was a character who would sit down and lose her legs.

It was at that time when I was struggling with my legs thinking so.

Sniff

“..?!”

The warrior approaching me hugged me and lifted me up.

“?!?!?!?!”

What?!

Oh no, what are you doing?!

I looked at the warrior with a bewildered expression since I was suddenly hugged, and he asked me for my understanding, saying that he might feel bad for carrying him up without asking permission, but he asked me to wait until he went to the carriage.

As the hero said, I felt bad, but looking at the eyes around me, I felt like I had to go back to the carriage quickly, so I decided to endure it for now.

“I’m really glad I wasn’t late.”

The warrior put on a relieved expression as he said that.

Hmm..

I’m glad I’m not late… At first glance, it seems like I’m saying that I’m glad I showed up just in time for a dangerous situation.

No matter how carefully I looked, I was so far away from the carriage that I couldn’t know what was happening to me unless I was around me. If this is one of the things that happened before the return of the hero, it’s not unconvincing, but…

In fact, there are bigger problems than these.

“Oh..”

“It’s hot~”

“…”

I’m embarrassed.

Insanely ashamed

No matter how much I couldn’t move, I entrusted myself to it, but I couldn’t help but be ashamed of being hugged by the princess in front of everyone else. I couldn’t bear to carry my head up, so I lowered my head to avoid the gaze of others.

If I go back to the carriage like this, the people there will see me now, but is this really okay?

The hero was asking me to tell him if my inability to move was more important than the gaze of the people around me.

No.

It’s not real.

He’s a regressor

It is unconditional.

This is absolutely not something a possessor can do.

It’s possible because you’re a real warrior..!

– My, drop me down.

In the end, I couldn’t stand it and told me to get down telepathically, but since the hero had reached the carriage, he begged me to be patient with him a little longer. Since I ask you to hold on a little longer, on the contrary, I have nothing to say.

I cried.

I think I’m really going crazy…

Under..

.
.
.

In the end, even when I got back to the carriage, I couldn’t lift my head and kept my head down.

I tried to somehow hide my face by pulling down my cone hat, but I wonder if they opened their hearts to me because I caught an anaconda earlier, or if they want to have a relationship with me, the female adventurers cling to me and talk about what happened earlier. It started.

If it’s fortunate, the fortunate thing is that I can’t hear other people’s words except for the warrior, so I’m just thinking that to the end, but I can’t answer even if I want to answer?

The only problem was that I was worried that these people might get angry because I didn’t answer too much.

Even if I tried to hide my blushing face, there was no way I could hide from these people who kept coming towards me. I am so happy with my reaction, I wonder if the veteran-like appearance I saw earlier has been taken away, and only the local women can see it.

Uh, so… You look strong?

She is a ferocious-looking adventurer woman with scars and muscles exposed everywhere, but it doesn’t seem like that at all when you listen to her talk.

“So? How far have you gone?”

“..?”

What?

“Do I need to ask? If a man and a woman meet each other’s eyes, go to a place where there are no people and have sex..”

“Yayaya, be careful what you say!”

“What is there to be careful about? You must be old enough to know everything anyway.”

“Is that so..?”

What..?

I can’t keep up with the conversation.

It’s not that I don’t know what that person is saying, but there was nothing good about pretending to know, so I sat still.

“I don’t think you know?”

“Is it embarrassing.. He doesn’t answer.”

It’s not that I don’t answer, it’s that I can’t.

I laughed bitterly inwardly.

“There are two of them.”

“Huh?”

Uh?

It was the voice of a warrior.

“It’s not that I don’t answer, it’s that I can’t. Can’t you see that I have a bandage around my neck?”

When the hero said something unpleasant, the adventurers looked down at the bandage wrapped around my neck.

“Ah..”

It was only then that he seemed to realize why I hadn’t responded.

“And I bet you haven’t heard what you guys are saying. I can’t even hear you.”

At the words of the hero, the complexion of the two turned pale.

It was only then that he seemed to realize that he had done a terrible thing to me.

Yes, it seems that they finally realized the seriousness of what they said.

Please, I hope you can spend peacefully and happily even for the three days you arrive in Plania.

Please…

.
.
.
.
.

The three days passed in an instant.

In the middle, I asked if I could hear my words, and if I didn’t react to the words of the warrior when I was attacked before, but the warrior answered very honestly that he couldn’t hear anything else, but that he was a warrior, so he could talk directly.

Well, in the first place, due to the nature of the adventurer’s ID, I was worried that even if everyone knew that they were warriors, I was worried that they would say it too quickly.

At that time, after I found out that “For now” Was handicapped, I think I had a good time thanks to the cautious adventurers.

Contrary to what I was worried about at first, I’m glad they’re kind people.

And..

“…”

I looked towards Hero.

The hero was busy watching the sights of Plania with his eyes shining.

I took a deep breath.

I will meet the saintess soon.

If you’re really a regressor, you’d think you’d know the path to a happy ending, but there’s a chance you didn’t.

So right now I have one stance to take.

I will seduce you moderately.

That was the answer.

I burned my will

I will try to fight in this city now.
