Chapter 35 I’ll Make You Cry Someday
The torrent of black magic settles down. Albert who was swallowed by it, he’s collapsed on the stage powerlessly. He should have been strengthened with metal magic that changes his body into steel, but it doesn’t matter at all, he bleeds from the whole body and doesn’t move.
……Eh? Did he die?
……Well, it was the cursed sword that did this. It’s not my fault, so no need to worry.
『No, it’s your fault! That black thing is not my power!』
There’s no way I have such power. In other words, everything is the cursed sword’s fault. But, it was good that he was damaged enough to make him unrecoverable. It’ll be unbearable if come back to revenge many times.
I put the cursed sword, that killed Albert, into the sheath for the time being.
『I said, that’s not me…!!』
If you look from the side, it can only be seen as your power, not mine. Just give up. Well then, I guess it’s okay to just inflate Magali and then go sleep.
When I looked back while thinking so, there was Silk.
……Alright, I guess I’ll raise my value a bit.
「Fuu… are you scared?」
I ask Silk with a sad smile.
「…No, I’m not.」
Then, Silk showed a gentle smile like a holy mother and held my hand gently with both hands.
…Well, from her personality, I didn’t think that she will say she’s scared. However, to think that she accepted this too… It is unexpected. I was a little surprised. I was also surprised that she, who lack expression, was able to make such a gentle smile.
I thought that she was like a doll after all.
「You don’t have to force yourself, you know? My… no, this sword’s power is so terrifying that it keeps people away. I know it best.」
『You naturally make it my fault!?』
When I glance down at the sword, Silk also turns her eyes to the sword.
Hmph… I degrade the cursed sword while increasing my evaluation.
「The power of this sword is so powerful that you shouldn’t be swallowed and drowned. Can I control this sword…….? I’m always swinging this sword while worried about it.」
『To be exact, I’m the one that makes you swing me.』
I make a ‘handsome man being possessed by this dangerous sword’ feeling. I’m sure this will tickle the woman’s heart…
I don’t care about silk, but if I find a convenient woman someday, I wonder If I can make her fall with this performance?
Practice makes perfect.
『Why are you just so diligent only in this sort of thing…』
I completely ignore the cursed sword’s words and show a sad smile.
Hmph, what a good actor, me. The uncles sitting in front of the stage are also focusing their gaze on me.
「You’ll be fine.」
When I’m filled with self-esteem, I’m being hugged by Silk. Because I didn’t train my body, I even lose to the power of such a weak woman.
Embraced by her abundant chest, I…
Haa…… After all, other human skin is disgusting. I hate it.
『You are amazing. Normally, I don’t think there is any man who feels disgusted being hugged by a girl as beautiful as Silk.』
In the first place, it’s wrong to try to see ordinary people and me on the same line. Because I’m a special being, even my sensitivity is special.
『It’s special for trashy people.』
What did you say, you bastard…
「The sword may be a bad thing… but you’ll be fine.」
When I and the cursed sword quarreling, Silk continued her words.
I reflexively raised my face and looked at her face, and what I saw is her tender smile that filled with affection.
I’m a little surprised at this.
「If it’s you, who protected my dream, I’m sure of it…」
……What’s this development? No, I didn’t want anything like that.
What I want is something like… she feels an obligation toward me? You understand, right?
『I don’t want to understand!』
The cursed sword is getting more and more rougher…
No, he’s not the problem right now. The problem is that Silk’s eyes that looking on me are awfully feverish.
……If I’m not conceited, perhaps……
Please let it be just me being conceited…! If I have a troublesome bump, I may won’t be able to move freely when a convenient woman appears…!
「Do you have a moment?」
When I and Silk were looking at each other from a very close distance, one of the uncles who was watching the stage talked to us
Nice! If we keep it as it is, it’ll be pathetic. Because I was looking up with my face buried in Silk’s chest. That was dangerous.
I guess even she thinks that the current state is no good, she loosened her power to hug me, so I quickly separated myself using that gap.
「You’re Silk, right? I want you to join the Royal Capital Theater Troupe.」
「Eh……?」
To the unexpected words, Silk surprised with her eyes open wide.
……Well, there was a real battle happened here after all. That stern guild master was destroying the stage and devastated by the cursed sword.
『Don’t just blame me for everything! That black power is undoubtedly due to your twisted personality!!』
So noisy, this guy.
……But, are they still think that it’s the content of the play for the test despite such a tragic situation? Is everyone at the theater here stupid?
「…But, I… I’m actually a slave just the other day…… Alistar helped me……」
Silks mutter with a small voice while laying her face down.
That’s not it, right? I mean, do you have to say it in detail yourself?
No, if Silk who doesn’t have a family name enters a troupe where noble child join, it might seem suspicious….
「It doesn’t matter. We’re so attracted by your performance… by your smile when you see him.」
The uncle smiled gently to Silk.
Well, of course they won’t mind it. After all, they’re a thoughtless bunch like that even though the stage is tattered.
『So harsh.』
But, even you think they’re crazy, right?
『………Well.』
Silk looks this way.
For the time being, I decided to smile and nod.
To be honest, I wonder if it’s okay to join a troupe that didn’t notice there was such a serious battle in the theater, but I don’t have to worry about it because I’m not going to join.
Even those guys in this place have bad eyes, the Royal Capital Theater Troupe is the country’s largest and most famous troupe, and most of the audience here is, of course, the upper class.
It means, because a rich woman will come here, there will be a lot of convenient women that fulfill one of my preferred conditions in this place. I’ll have Silk act as a bridge for me and those girls.
『You are still saying that…』
「……Understood, thank you very much. I’ll be in your care.」
The cursed sword’s astonished voice and the voice of Silk accepted to join are overlapping.
Good, please treat me well after this, Silk-kun. Please introduce me to a good woman!
「Congratulations, Silk.」
When I called out to her like that, Silk seemed really happy and smiled from the bottom of her heart.
「…Yes. thank you, Alistar.」
『……Even if you see such a pure smile, your heart doesn’t move at all.』
Other people’s happiness is a bit irritating.
When I was thinking about that, there was Magali nearby. Looking at her for the first time in a while…… not that I want to see her. What I want to see is her ugly state.
「Hello, Saint-sama. Are you educated properly? If you show yourself as it is, you’re not a saint but a witch after all.」
「It’s okay, Holy Sword User-sama, because I’m not as miserable as you who manipulated by an inorganic.」
「…………」
「…………」
We quietly glare at each other.
You bastard…… I’ll make you cry someday……!!
Thus, the painful time between me and Silk ended here in one paragraph.
