The Mystery of the Eastern Fortress and the Childhood Friend Who Always Loses.
The Mystery of the Eastern Fortress and the Childhood Friend Who Always Loses.
Kki-ik—
"Phew... Hmm?"
"Kyaa...!"
As I opened the door and came out with Roja, the Saintess was sitting on the floor with a cute sound, having fallen on her butt.
"Oh... are you okay?"
"Ah... Raul-ssi... Yes, yes... I'm fine. But that person...?"
"Ah... that girl? I don't know, I heard a loud noise while walking around, and found her collapsed."
"Ah...! Then I shall heal her..."
It was the moment I raised my hand to stop her as she approached with glowing hands.
"Hup?!"
She suddenly withdrew the light from her hands, covered her nose with both hands, and backed away.
"....? Are you the one who's okay...?"
"Ye, yehe... I'm sorryyy...!"
Because she was holding her nose, she spoke with a nasal voice and the Saintess disappeared in an instant.
The usual clumsy appearance was nowhere to be found, and she ran down the hallway without tripping at all and vanished.
"Sniff... Do I smell that bad?"
Even when I brought my body close and took a sniff, I couldn't really tell, probably because it was my own scent.
I didn't think I smelled like anything in particular...
Anyway, since it was late at night and it would be awkward to go back in, I took Roja, who I had brought to my room to wash up, and sent her off.

A day passed.
And... a lot of things happened during that night.
"Ksuut...♥ Uuut...♥ Damn it♥ Damn it♥ Die♥ Dieee♥ Just dieee♥ Kuaaaaah?!"
I hurried out of the warehouse, opened the door, pulled the blanket up to the top of my head, and tried to fall asleep quickly.
Fortunately... or unfortunately, I did fall asleep.
The reason it was unfortunate was that I woke up the moment I was about to be violated in a dream where that guy was laughing at me.
I woke up like that, threw off the blanket, and immediately opened the window. As I let the cool breeze from the open window hit me.
I was able to regain a bit of my sanity.
I regained my sanity and looked at my lower body. It was incredibly damp and wet. I reached out, wiped the wet area with my fingers, and
when I rubbed my two fingers together... a sticky liquid created a long, thin thread.
Doesn't that make me a perverted woman who gets excited just by seeing that trashy, frivolous, good-for-nothing hunter, that commoner guy, in a dream?!
"No... Grrr... It's not..."
Even as I bit my nails, my gaze kept drifting downward. The cold wind from the open window was cooling my lower body, but.
Just thinking about that commoner guy for a second made me heat up all over again.
I was supposed to have a meal in the morning, but.... I had no choice, really! I did it with a heart devoid of any selfish motives.
For the sake of having a meal with the Hero-nim and the Saintess-nim, and to fall asleep quickly, I took off my pajamas again, placed my hand on my vulva, and used my other hand to... caress my... breasts...
"Ksuh... Heuk... Hyaaaa...♥"
Roja... being violated like crazy...
"Heuk!♥ Hyaeuuu...♥ Rojaaa... Noooo...♥"
With that thing... that was thicker than the hilt of my sword... and had disgusting veins...
"Oheuk... Heuoook... Oook♥"
Pshhh shhh...
"Haa... Haa... Haaa...."
I reached the climax immediately, and the heat that felt like a lie subsided. Instead...
"Ugh... I feel sticky..."
What I sprayed during the climax... this is... ahem. Anyway, I threw off the blanket underneath, put my clothes back on properly, lay down on the bed, and tried to sleep.
I didn't enjoy masturbating while thinking about that bastard...! I just did it because I had no choice and nothing else to use.
I just had no choice but to pick up the weapon that had broken and fallen on the floor nearby and use it!
Hmm... That's it...
I fell asleep with those thoughts,
and before I knew it, it was morning.
Knock, knock.
"Umm...."
-Lady~ May I come in?
"Uh...?"
-Are you still sleeping...?
Outside, my maid... Roja... was knocking on the door to assist me with my morning wash, waiting for my response.
I hurriedly opened the window to air out the smell that hadn't quite left the room, and answered.
"Roja! Just... leave it in front of the door! Please ask for the Hero-nim and the Saintess-nim's understanding!"
-Ah! Yes, yes, I understand!
Only after I heard the sound of her putting the items down and hurrying away did I gasp and feel relieved.
I almost showed my pathetic side to my closest servant again...
"....My servant..."
Let me chew on that word for a moment. I felt a little angry.
If it were a weak Roja, it would be an unavoidable force majeure if the one threatening her was that trashy... Raul... but...
Still, I felt a little disappointed in her for not showing even the slightest bit of resistance.
While being my honorable servant, to such pleasure... as if it felt good...
Panting...
Ah, I wish I were her...
"Uh...? No, no! It's not... Damn it..."
What on earth am I thinking...
I shook my head, pushed aside the neatly folded blanket, opened the door, brought in the water basin for washing, got dressed, and left the room.
"Phew... Claire. Get a grip. You are a knight of the Hero party, a knight standing in an honorable position...."
I encouraged myself and hurried down to the dining hall where the two of them and that one guy were waiting.
In the dining hall I arrived at, the Hero-nim and the Saintess-nim were beautifully sharing food with each other.
It was such a beautiful sight, so affectionate that one might mistake them for lovers.
On the other hand, if I turned my gaze slightly...
A gloomy atmosphere, a frivolous appearance, a violent face. I really didn't like his face, which was so calm even after doing such things last night.
I decided not to pay attention to a guy like that and first enjoyed the meal with the Hero-nim and the Saintess-nim.
The two of them warmly welcomed me, even though I had intruded out of nowhere,
and the Hero-nim even comforted me by saying that Raul had been too harsh at the training ground on the day we first arrived at the fortress.
Ah, the gentle heart contained in those beautiful golden eyes and blue eyes, which were like the clear sky, brought peace to my heart for a moment, and I felt like I could even wave and say hello to that guy right now.
So I turned my gaze for a moment to look at him, but...
-Ah... That Raul-nim... The others are...
-So what. Everyone is gathered over there, and I'm lonely.
He had another girl of the same age as Roja sitting next to him!
Seeing that, I looked at the Saintess-nim for a moment. The Saintess-nim must have seen that trashy, vulgar sight too, because she was blushing,
lowering her head, and eating her food cutely and daintily...!
And I realized for sure. What I must definitely do in this Hero party!
We finish our meal today, check our equipment at lunch, and head to the next destination, the Imperial Capital, by carriage in the evening.
Phew... Yeah. Raul, you wouldn't have wanted to be born like that either. You turned out that way because there was no one by your side to properly guide you.
But don't worry. I will correct you myself...

The night before, after washing Roja and sending her off. The next day, before leaving, we were gathered in the dining hall for breakfast...
Everyone else was sitting in different places eating, so I was a bit lonely, so I just sat one maid next to me.
That crazy bitch, she was talking to the kids, then suddenly turned her head on her own, and now she was staring at me with burning eyes, locking gazes with me.
I gave her the time-honored "fist potato" (middle finger) of Hans-ajusshi from Netoru Village, and received meal service from the maid next to me.
I almost choked because some crazy bitch was staring at me, but thanks to the maid next to me, I was able to finish the meal pleasantly.
"What's your name?"
"I, I...? Um... it's Lea..."
"Thank you. Thanks to you, Lea, I had a delicious meal."
I took out a gold coin, put it in her pocket, and got up from my seat to return to my room.
Behind me, Lea was bowing repeatedly in gratitude, so I waved my hand and left.
That's how we finished breakfast, and at lunch, we checked our equipment. And in the meantime, I came out to see Roja for a moment.
"Raul-nim?"
"Roja."
She didn't run away or panic. As if it were natural. She slowly approached me.
"Um, I'm at work... so right now, a little..."
"That's not it... take this."
I handed her a dagger with my name engraved on it and a pouch of gold coins.
"This is...?"
"If you happen to give birth, and if it looks like my child to you, tell them to bring this dagger and come find me."
"....."
"I was an orphan. If I ever have a child, I think it's only right to at least let them know who their father is."
I made up a rough excuse and explained it, hoping she would quietly accept it. And it worked too well.
"Raul-nim. Um, if it's just a little bit right now, I think it's okay..."
She leaned one hand against the wall and spread her other hand so it was clearly visible from my side, and said.
"I'm really sorry to Leon, but... I want to bear Raul-nim's child.... If you would allow it... may I?"
"Kukuk... Ahahaha... We really are the worst, you and I."
"Are you sure it's not just you, Raul-nim?♥"
Behind the fortress, there was the sound of some beast howling, and a puddle of white liquid with a fishy scent was left in that spot.
And because it was discovered after the Hero party had left the fortress.
With no one to ask, this incident remained the mystery of the Eastern Fortress in later years.
And for a certain childhood friend,
He ended up suffering defeat without even being able to leave his name to the person involved.
The backstory to this.
In a certain household. An ordinary house where the head of the household had gone out to work.
A married woman is packing items for her daughter to go on an adventure and says.
"Now, take this dagger, make sure to pack it, and remember this name, Raul."
"Yeah. Mom. Dad... Um, do I not need to tell that person?"
The married woman makes a mocking smile with a very cold expression.
"It's fine. Go on now."
She saw her daughter off, then returned to the house and reminisced about old memories for a while.
When the childhood friend I hadn't seen for a long time suddenly returned, I was really surprised back then.
He who returned told me his story.
From the story of meeting the Hero-nim, to being persuaded by that person to raise Raul-nim's child with me...
After hearing the story and seeing him, he wasn't the childhood friend I used to like, but something less than a pathetic, culled male.
So I smiled and said. That's fine, but I warned him that this daughter would not be with us, but would be sent to Raul-nim when she grew up.
Then he laughed. It was a smile so disgusting and nauseating that I didn't want to look at it.
◆
Inside the departing carriage.
Everyone had their eyes closed and was sleeping for a while, and in the rattling carriage, only Noel and I were awake.
And that guy, I don't know what's so good, but she kept smiling and looking at me.
It was unpleasant, and I was frustrated, so I asked.
"What on earth is so good that you're smiling?"
"Hmm? No... well... I had a harvest elsewhere. I'm just in a good mood."
Seeing that bastard babbling and making a twisted smile, I got a headache, so I just lay back.
What on earth did that bastard do again?
