Chapter 39 Stiffened
「Okay. Let’s take a nap.」
Because the two cursed letters were discarded and Silk returned to the troupe, so I dive into the fluffy bed.
Ahh…. Really, the comfort is the best.
When I was tied to the royal capital, I was eager to escape, but I was lucky to be able to stay in this top-class inn. If I was crammed in a cheap hotel, I would have thrown away the cursed sword and fled quickly.
『Because our soul is connected, I can follow you wherever you go.』
You’re really a cursed sword. Holy sword thing is a lie, isn’t it?
I’ve got a ridiculous stalker… of inorganic matter.
Damn… just what did I do to deserve this…
I feel unpleasant now, let’s sleep. Sleep and forget it…
I think so and my consciousness is getting far and far……
Knock knock
The door is knocked.
……Tch, shut up. I’m having a nap time right now. Let’s pretend I’m not here.
The servants here are top-notch, so if they don’t get a reply they’ll think I’m sleeping and won’t knock any further.
I started to slumber again…
Knock knock knock
…………Ignore it.
Knock knock knock knock
……………………
Knock knock knock knock knock knock
What the hell? Aren’t you too persistent?
I thought that the servants here were useful…… too bad.
Although I’m feeling really angry, I crawl out of bed slowly.
I’m so angry that my nap was interrupted, but most of all, the big reason was that I received two cursed letters. I can’t yell because it will destroy my wonderful image, but I guess I’ll say a sarcastic remark.
With that in mind, I steadily move to the door.
『Ah…… well, whatever.』
The cursed sword mutters some words that have a hidden meaning, but I ignore it because whatever he says is nothing good.
「Yes, what is it!?」
I opened the door violently in my anger and glared at the useless servant with a smile…
「Hello, Alistar. The weather today is nice right.」
「It’s good enough.」
When I opened the door, there was not a servant who always took care of me, but a woman with a good smile. The moment I confirmed it, I close the door in a flowing motion.
……But, she put her foot between just before the door closed, so I couldn’t close it.
I’ll crush it, bastard…
「My, what’s wrong, Alistar? Aren’t we childhood friends that haven’t meet for a long time? How about a little chat?」
The name of the woman who says such things while smiling is… Magali.
As she said, we are childhood friends born and raised in the same village… but, there is no bond like friendship or love between me and this woman. Our relationship is that we both think of each other as a hindrance and we hate each other. Because I and Magali know each other’s nature… a self-supremacist.
This is a weakness for catching a convenient opposite sex. We each have the ambition to parasitize a rich person and live comfortably. That’s why we act innocent and put a good-person mask, but we both are the most threat to each other.
That’s why I pushed the saint to Magali to eliminate a hindrance, but… because of this woman, I was dragged this far…!
Well, it’s easier to escape in my position than hers though.
「I don’t want to. You, live your life as a saint and suffer from now on. Our world where we live is different now.」
Of course, Magali in a cramped and painful world, and I am in a world where I can live a relaxed and comfortable life. She’s being isolated.
When I said so, Magali’s smiling face changed into that of a demon.
Your personality is shit and your body is poor, your only charm point is your face… are you sure making such a face?
「Screw you…! It’s your fault that I’ve come this far! I’ll definitely take you along…!」
「Whatever.」
It’s a word that I’m tired of hearing, so I don’t think at all about it.
And then I try to close the door without any concern to Magali’s foot.
「I-it hurts! Trying to crush my feet without hesitation, you really are trash!!」
「If you are in the opposite position, I’m sure you will do that too.」
Magali is screaming, but I’m sure she will try to close it mercilessly if we are in the opposite position.
I don’t care whether her foot comes off or not. A nuisance that tries to infiltrate into my sanctuary should be exterminated.
……Is what I think from the bottom of my heart, but her position is now a Saint.
If I crush the Saint’s feet, even if I have the holy sword, I won’t be able to escape the crime. So I reluctantly…… really reluctantly loosen my power.
Then, Magali opened her mouth while glaring me.
「Okay, Let’s go.」
「Haa? Where?」
I don’t understand at all because the subject is too few.
I’m not going anywhere. I was about to take a nap.
Then, Magali turned her exasperated face to me.
「To the castle. I sent a letter, right?」
That reminds me of the cursed letter a while ago.
……Did you think that I’ll go with that shakedown sentence? In the first place, there’s no way I’ll go when the destination is the castle. There will be some of Magali’s schemes and there will be nothing but troublesome things.
「Hmph, are you trying to summon me because you’re lonely? Sorry, but there’s no reason for me to accompany you. Just suffer alone while acting innocent.」
「No, you have to come.」
When I said so while sneering, Magali talked back without changing her expression.
Haa, this is ridiculous. There’s no use talking.
Why do I have to obey Magali’s orders? She might be a saint, but I also a holy sword bearer, so we’re not in such a relationship. I can refuse her orders easily.
I spin words slowly and loudly like when I’m going to teach an idiot.
「I said――」
「It was the King who ordered to come to the Castle.」
「――――――」
Magali, who interrupted my words and grinned, revealed an unthinkable name.
The… king…?
Even if I can reject Magali’s order, rejecting the king’s order is……
Rather, why did the king called me…?
「Ah, he’s stiffened」
My consciousness was blown off to the point I couldn’t hear the cursed sword’s voice.
「…Rather, I’ve been wondering for a long time. Cursed sword, you can talk?」
『She can hear my voice!? Moreover, she treated me as a cursed sword like Alistar!?』
