Chapter 85 – Travel Again

Lost.
I hoped that I would lose.

Why?

‘The timing of the payment must have been perfect… ‘

[Congratulations. It’s the worst.]

Lesser evil

It was something that Cecilia and I went to buy, so it was the same situation as now.

There was an uncomfortable aura between Cecilia and me.

Apparently, until just before, I stuck to Hero and kept causing jealousy, so it was worth reacting like that.

I’m really sorry that it’s just the two of us together…

“Hey Rumia.”

The line at the stall was longer than expected, so when I was waiting in line, Cecilia, who had been standing there restlessly, called me.

Uh… What did you call me for… ?

Ignoring my cold sweaty body, I looked back at Cecilia.

“That… Umm… Yo, there’s a hero… “

“… ?”

If you’re going to tell me, I wish I could tell you clearly…

Scared of what to say

[Looks like I’m not saying anything bad, but I’m curious. Are you thinking of asking what the hero likes?]

It could be.

There’s nothing I can’t answer, but I don’t know if it’s what the hero likes.

Most of the heroes telling their stories are old stories.

Daily stories were also told to me when proving that I am a regressor, but it is of course difficult to notice what I like with just that.

The answer that seemed difficult to answer came up to my throat, but I endured it.

I haven’t even asked yet.

But what I heard was something I hadn’t even thought of.

“How about a warrior… ?”

“… ?”

What is this all of a sudden?

“Ah… Uh, sorry… I think I said it wrong… That’s what I was asking… “

– Ah… I guess I don’t have to talk.

I think I know what you’re asking.

[I’m not sure? Even if I suddenly ask how a hero is… ]

‘Because it’s impossible to be with a man in a convent in the first place. There must be more than one question.’

Cecilia is the first to fall in love with a man.

I’ve said it before, but I only know it as knowledge to the end, and even if I bring out the words, Cecilia doesn’t understand a single thing.

That is to say.

In modern times, it was something roughly explained through academic words, but I never actually saw it, and I didn’t hear exactly where it was.

In the first place, it would be the first time that a hero met a man of his age.

As I said before, Cecilia in the setting doesn’t even know what sex is at first, so if I don’t induce it myself and it goes naturally, Cecilia’s side will never seduce me first.

In other words, that is what Cecilia wanted to ask.

I don’t know anything about men, so it’s hard to ask.

‘Wait for a sec.’

Isn’t this sex education?

I broke out in a cold sweat.

“That is… Actually, I’m very sorry to you… “

– For a moment. I think we should buy something to buy instead of now and talk about it separately.

There would be nothing more embarrassing than telling this story here and if the attention of the people around you is drawn to it.

At my words of embarrassment, Cecilia looked around her and nodded her head with a blushing face.

I’m glad you understand.

I let out a sigh of relief.

.
.

Cecilia and I, who had bought everything from the street stalls, moved to a deserted area.

He asked me to come once, and I came here and asked to talk separately, so I came…

The dragon and Ruril will be waiting for us, but I don’t know if it will be okay.

Earlier, I said that I would live to escape the situation and that we would talk separately after giving birth, but now that I think about it, I have to go back quickly.

If nothing else, I’m waiting for the teleportation magic circle, but due to the nature of the magic circle moving many people at the same time at a fixed time, I have to go quickly if I don’t want to miss it.

If you are late, you will have to wait until the next teleport time.

‘Do I have to answer this… ?’

I think I’ll really miss it if I stay like this…

Cecilia hesitantly pursed her lips as I measured the time, worrying if it would be okay.

Come to think of it, he said he had something he wanted to say to me.

“That is… Eww… “

Hmm…

If it’s going to take a long time to talk, I’d rather do it after boarding the ship instead of now.

Apparently, there are people waiting now.

– If it’s difficult to talk about right now, you can talk on board the boat. I was so flustered earlier… If you don’t go back soon, you won’t be able to ride the teleport magic circle.

It was enough to talk about having to cross the continent on a ship departing from the port city.

No, it’s overflowing

It’s not difficult to find a place to be alone in a boat.

“Ah… Shall we talk then… ?”

Should she say it’s fortunate, Cecilia also nodded her head, saying that it would be better if she didn’t talk right now, as if it didn’t matter.

I’m glad you accepted it…

What is it that you are talking about that causes you to react like that?

[If… ]

‘If?’

[Ugh, nothing.]

If you’re going to say something, do you do it right…

Why do you want to do it?

Well, it seems difficult to talk about right now, so I’ll have to go and think about it then.

I didn’t know how to explain it apart from everything else, but I’m glad I was able to buy some time to think about it.

I let out a sigh of relief.

.
.
.

“It is later than expected. It must have been a long road?”

“It was very long… It must have been a popular place.”

I didn’t really drag the story for a long time and came back, but it was definitely a bit late.

Cecilia laughed lightly at the hero’s question and passed it off as if she was nothing.

The hero was puzzled by that appearance, but he arrived on time anyway, before the teleport magic circle activated, so it seemed good.

“By the way, as soon as you move to the magic circle, do you board the ship right away?”

“Actually, that is the problem. Because we don’t know when Rumia will get pregnant… “

“… “

The warrior’s words hardened.

Come to think of it, in order to subdue the demon lord, I should have gone all the way to the demon lord while pregnant… ?

In other words, after confirming whether or not she was pregnant, she had to go to the Demon King’s Castle.

“I know the location of the Demon King’s Castle, and I know all the ways to get there, so I don’t think there’s any need to deal with the other Four Heavenly Kings or the Demon King’s army.”

It’s a bit shocking.

If so, it was as if we were virtually never going to die.

“Something is going wrong. He said it was a trip to subdue the demon king, so I thought it would be very difficult. Well, a safe trip would be better.”

“Ahaha… “

It seems like I’m going to lose a little bit.

It was said that it was a trip to subdue the demon king, so I went on a trip with great nervousness, but as an adventurer, except for a few requests, I hardly did anything as a warrior party.

It turns out that the demon lord is not a direct subjugation, but he is an existence that can be easily defeated as long as I get pregnant.

Is it because everything is actually solved?

Obviously, at first, I was cautious and always thought and acted, but lately it feels like that tension has been released.

[That’s right. It seems that it has gotten much worse since the dragon love affair.]

‘What are you saying… ‘

[Is that true? Don’t you think I don’t know that I’m living without thinking in the reassurance that the hero will protect me no matter what?]

‘… ‘

I can’t deny it.

It has already become clear that the hero likes me, not Rumia, and the hero also has overwhelming power enough to overcome most situations.

It’s said that such a person will protect me no matter what happens, but wouldn’t it be more strange if the tension doesn’t go away?

More than anything else, as long as the reason to cheat is completely gone, the biggest thing is that you don’t have to think about what to do every time you act.

Now that it happened, he was just able to see me as I was, nothing more and nothing less.

I’m never stupid

[Okay? It’s not that I became stupid, I was stupid from the beginning.]

…

Having said that, I have nothing to say.

I was scratching my head.

No, but it’s a bit embarrassing.

I don’t think you’ve taken me down this far until recently, but lately, it seems like you’ve been picking me up all the time?

‘Eh… ‘

Yeah well, it could be

It’s probably the first time I’ve ever had a proper conversation with a person, but I can understand this enough.

More than anything else, if I think about what I’ve done these days, I’ve done things that would have been done by some crazy people.

Before, it was more like excitement rather than low intelligence, but…

I also didn’t feel bad about talking to Rumia like this.

I chuckled.

After all, after boarding the ship, there would be many opportunities to train Rumia.

I laughed out loud.

It was a pleasure for the future.
