Chapter 173 – [Hero] Uni in Action
The next evening, when she returned to her room, Uni’s condition was a little strange.
“Oh… Hehe… That’s right…”
“UNI?”
As if looking at something embarrassing, looking at me, she blushes and slinks away from her gaze.
The time to look at each other’s bodies and be ashamed must have passed.
“What’s the matter?”
“Huh? Oh no… ! Not a big deal!”
It’s a look that someone can see.
Didn’t I promise her that we wouldn’t keep secrets from each other, she said, then shut her mouth.
Because I was the one with the secret.
My twisted libido.
That much I can’t bear to say to Yuni.
I ended up breaking my promise and shutting her up to Yuni, and Yuni found out that I had a secret to hide.
… I don’t have the right to question her.
When I suddenly became quiet, Uni was a little taken aback.
“Eric, are you disappointed that I didn’t tell you?”
“Oh, no.”
I’m not saying it’s not, but maybe I did.
She wants me to talk to her when I don’t tell her about her.
Even I thought it was a very selfish statement.
“That is… I just learned a new skill from Master. Stop because I’m still not used to it…”
“… Is that so?”
Uni candidly confessed her facts.
Of course, not everything has been said.
What does learning that skill have to do with being ashamed at me?
Why don’t you tell me in detail what the technology is?
But I swallowed all those questions at the back of my throat.
“Huh… I’ll probably get used to it by tomorrow, so don’t worry too much about it.”
What kind of skill do you have?
Does adapting mean that you are still using it?
I glanced around, but didn’t notice anything special.
“That, more than that… Are you going to do it today?”
“Ah… Huh.”
Not too reluctantly, I nodded.
After being defeated by Luella, for some reason, I didn’t feel like having a relationship with Yuni.
It’s absolutely not that I hated Uni or anything like that.
The idea of becoming stronger and a more efficient way to do it just floats around in your head.
There is such a way to be more excited and stronger than this, but I can’t bear to do that.
Also, the thought itself made her feel like she was using her as her means, and she felt disgusted with herself.
If you keep thinking like this, you will get excited and go to sleep without knowing it, and your body will cool down.
“… If you don’t want to do it, you can’t force yourself to do it.”
When Yuni spoke cautiously, I shook her head in surprise.
“Oh no! It’s not like that, so don’t worry.”
“… Huh.”
Yuni looked at me with a subtle face.
You have to work hard
Uni needs to be satisfied.
With that in mind, I mixed Yuni and her body, but her reaction was still subtle.
“Eric… Did you feel good?”
“Huh? Ah… Huh.”
Usually, I talk about my feelings, not me.
For some reason, this day was a little different.
She stared at my body and muttered in a low voice.
“… Lie.”
The voice was low, so I couldn’t hear it properly.
***
When I woke up in the morning, it was later than usual.
Was it too much yesterday?
I guess there wasn’t any difference.
Uni had already left.
He probably went to see Ertina.
I forced my tired body up and washed my face dry for a while.
I am still tired even after this.
At this rate, I think I will fall asleep while practicing.
A little bit of fresh air would make it better.
Thinking so, I came out of the dorm to meet Uni.
Will it be in the front yard?
I thought so and came out, but unexpectedly, Ertina was the only one left there.
“Hello.”
Why is she alone here?
“Today, at Uni’s request, I decided to take a break from practice. I said I needed some time to clear my mind.”
“Yes?”
Clear your mind… ?
For some reason, I felt uneasy about those words.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but… It seems to have something to do with you. Did you ever fight?”
“Stop, please.”
Uni and I fight?
No way. If so, I’ll apologize first.
“Well, even lovers who are close to each other have things to worry about. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“Ah yes…”
But how could you not care?
I can’t stand it because I’m anxious.
“Rather than that, what have you been up to this morning? Are you here to wake up?”
“Ah… Right, what.”
Ertina seemed to have sensed that my answer was insincere, as she matched her words appropriately.
“Are you that concerned?”
“Ah… Sin, sorry.”
She must be mad because he wasn’t listening to what she was saying.
I apologized to her, but Ertina didn’t seem upset about it.
“Please trust Uni. Because she is always thinking of you.”
“… That, that’s right.”
Yes.
Whatever Yuni does, it will surely be helpful to me, not harmful.
I had that certainty.
“Whoops… They are good friends too.”
Ertina smiled slightly as she looked at me.
I think it’s the first time I’ve seen her laugh.
“Maybe me and him like this…”
“Yes?”
“Ah, I’m talking to myself. Never mind.”
It’s something I want to hear more about, but it would be rude to ask her.
“You look curious. It’s really no big deal. I was just thinking about the old days.”
“If it was in the past…”
“Yes, about the time when the hero before you and I were lovers.”
She too… You were a warrior and a lover.
For some reason, it felt strange that the romantic relationship between the hero and the spiritist had been inherited from the previous generation.
“When I see you and Yuni, I think of the hero and myself. They are strikingly similar.”
“Yes… That’s right.”
Ertina, who looked at us for a while and reminisced about her past, added with a sad smile.
“… However, please do not follow the same path as us.”
“Ah…”
Those who used to be the hero’s party now become enemies of the hero’s party and stand in our way.
Ertina’s words that we were similar to theirs meant that if we made a mistake, we might end up in the same way.
“Please don’t fight her Uni, and don’t misunderstand her. Uni always acts for you.”
“Yes…”
Listening to her, who can be said to be her senior in many ways, I can feel her weight even in her obvious words.
Feeling slightly relieved by her, I chatted with her for a while.
Come to think of it, this is probably the first time she has ever had a private conversation with her.
Then, without realizing it, the conversation naturally moved on to her new technique that Uni had learned.
“Hmm… New technology.”
Ertina pondered for a moment with a slightly confused expression.
For some reason, it seems to be a response asking me not to ask, but seeing this kind of reaction, I can’t help but care.
Did you learn something dangerous?
“It’s not like that, um…”
Ertina pondered for a moment, then let out her sigh.
“What I taught you is how to read other people’s emotions. It is a way to read the subtle changes of the target through the spirit and read the emotions with it.”
“That, is that possible?”
“Of course, you have to be able to communicate with the spirits to some extent to learn it, but… Uni asked so earnestly that I taught her a few simple things. Things like disappointment, joy, and nervousness.”
Read emotions… Why?
Suddenly, I remembered the strange attitude Yuni showed me yesterday.
Come to think of it, I noticed right away that I was a little disappointed in her attitude.
I wonder if it was also read with this technology.
Why the hell did you learn this?
This will make it impossible to hide her facts from her in the future.
At this rate, wouldn’t it be that even my taste, which I couldn’t bear to reveal, would be exposed?
“I don’t know what he’s hiding, but I prefer not to. If you speak calmly, she will surely understand.”
“… Yes.”
Well, if I had normal tastes, I wouldn’t have suffered so much.
But isn’t my taste the kind of thing that I can never tell the other person.
I sighed.
I can’t tell Ertina about this, so I’ll just have to bury it.
After a brief chat with Ertina, when I returned to the room, Uni was already sitting in the room.
“Hey, where are you from?”
“I went for a little walk. A little today… I feel like I’m not feeling well.”
Where it hurts… It wouldn’t be
At least on the outside, her physical condition seems fine.
Yuni was looking at me.
Suddenly, I remembered the skill I had learned from Ertina, and I felt a bit repulsed.
Out of fear that her private parts, which she did not want to find out, might be revealed to her.
“What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”
“Oh, no. It’s not like that.”
This must be the secret Yuni wanted to hide.
But was it really necessary to hide it that much?
It’s not that nice to see you reading my mind, but if I had told you, you would have understood.
Is this a secret you have to hide from me so much?
Well, I don’t know if I knew I would be in a bad mood and tried to hide it.
Then why do you do this even knowing that?
Thoughts are complicated
She tried her best not to show it as much as possible, but it seems that she gave her a lot of her own without realizing it.
Yuni looked at me worriedly, and she struggled to get her words out.
“That… You know, Eric.”
“Huh?”
“Luella and… On the night we met.”
“Huh…”
The day she was defeated by her.
Just thinking about it makes me feel bad.
“Didn’t you say you should be stronger?”
“Huh…”
You have to become stronger.
But in order to do that, you have to feel more excitement than you do now, and to do that…
“Is that not enough as it is right now?”
“… What?”
Yuni… She found out the secret.
