Chapter 56: Those Who Can Never Be Forgiven (7)

The cold winter wind. Sitting on the white snow and listening to the sounds coming from the training ground in the distance calms my mind.

The place where Natalia first fell in love with the Hero.

I liked the scenery with its various colors, but I also thought that the scene covered in white snow was quite scenic.

The emotion of love cannot be explained by anything, nor is it something that someone tells you.

That’s why knowing your own heart is more important than anything else, and there are as many forms of hearts as there are stars in the sky.

So, what if this love, this heart, was not achieved because it was desired, but was simply created by others? What should you do then?

Since returning from Edirne until now, that thought has not left Natalia’s mind.

She had liked being with the Hero for quite some time.

But now? Of course, she doesn’t dislike it, but while thinking that this heart is false, it was clear that the Hero had made up his mind.

“How long are you going to keep playing around when you should be a role model?”

“Father…”

A heavy voice is heard.

A tall man with short blonde hair tied back.

His age couldn’t be hidden, so some parts were faded white, but his trained body was still the same.

A prestigious family with a longer history than the royal family.

Carlos, the head of the Knightheart family, quietly picked up his sword, seemingly displeased with his daughter who wouldn’t move.

“Draw your sword.”

No matter how long he waited, Natalia wouldn’t come out of her shell.

He had known where she would be since the beginning, so Carlos suddenly told her to draw her sword and really pulled out his own sword.

Nothing has really changed. This person’s head is full of nothing but swords.

Thinking so, Natalia smiled bitterly.

The Knightheart family, which existed as a prestigious family even when the Demon King descended 300 years ago.

Its history is longer than the royal family, and most of the soldiers trust and follow Carlos and Natalia.

The reason why the royal family doesn’t keep them in check.

It was because the head of this family always had nothing but swords in his head.

Or, maybe that’s why they can exist as a prestigious family.

Thinking so, Natalia looked at her father.

“Another sparring session?”

“Conversation is not necessary.”

Yes, conversation is not necessary.

In the past, she respected this kind of father very much, and thought that he would be a source of strength.

But that was a really absurd idea. Her only older brother, her father, and her mother.

They all love swords.

As long as you are born into this family, the heart is a luxury.

And if this is made with the charm of the Evil Eye, even more so.

Amidst the uneasy emotions and disorganized thoughts, Natalia decided to choose a more comfortable path.

Her feet sink deep into the snow with every step. It’s literally the worst.

The Forest of White Haze had more snow than she had heard, an enormous amount.

To express this as simply having snow for 365 days a year.

It can only be thought that the sensibilities of the people who made this game are severely out of line.

Well, that’s why they made this game, which has no pure love and is full of hard plays.

In that sense, the Hero’s mental strength in trying to make pure love in this world was really amazing.

It was only a few days ago that we arrived in the Forest of White Haze.

It’s winter, but the weather is still bearable.

Enjoying the warming magic to her heart’s content, what she saw in front of her was a forest where white snow fell endlessly, as if there was an invisible wall.

Thinking about the huge tree in the distance, it was clear that she wouldn’t be able to find her way properly from here.

Well, what could possibly go wrong? The feather that the Black Storm gave her, a modified accessory in the form of a bracelet, would still guide them in the right direction.

It was because of this ridiculous snow and rough terrain that I, who thought so, began to despair in earnest.

Yes, I can understand the feet sinking deep.

The cold sensation that is transmitted despite the warming magic, and even the harsh wind that is felt over the cloak.

I can understand everything. But this is…

“Hmm, I don’t know about Nana and the Hero, but it will be difficult for the other two to get through.”

“Do we have to go back again…? L-Laura. Can’t you do something with magic…”

“I can’t use magic related to space because of the barrier that makes you lose your way.”

The Forest of White Haze, but that’s a word that refers to the center of the continent.

A huge area centered on the giant World Tree.

Of course, there must be terrain such as mountains and cliffs.

She took the word forest too lightly.

If it was the Unbreakable Rock, who has the blessing of the guide, she could avoid these obstacles and pick out the shortest distance and the safest route, but all we have is a feather that tells us the direction of the Unbreakable Rock.

Whether there is a mountain or a cliff in the middle, even if there is no road, the direction is still displayed.

Moreover, as Laura said, the option of space movement is impossible because of the barrier.

Even simple blinking magic cannot be used in this place.

If she uses it forcibly, her body will be cut in half…

“I can’t walk anymore… Since a while ago, snow keeps getting into my clothes… Even though it’s bearable, I hate the feeling of getting damp because of the warming magic…”

“Sera, it seems like you’ve been acting spoiled a lot lately…?”

“You’re showing your true colors.”

My outfit is not much different from when I was in the capital.

In the first place, she can’t withstand this cold with the clothes of this world, and if she has to rely on warming magic, comfortable clothes are the best.

Of course, that doesn’t mean she’s going to choose something like a nun’s habit.

What she’s currently wearing is a black poncho over a white shirt. In other words, the white shirt sticks to her because of the sweat from the warming magic.

Clothes that keep getting wet.

Of course, she has expensive clothes with many other magics to prevent this from happening, but she can’t withstand this kind of forced march.

In the end, when she couldn’t stand it anymore, she expressed her dissatisfaction and unbuttoned the poncho, causing the Hero to turn his gaze away and Laura and Natalia to say strange things to her.

Yes, you guys are strong, right? Because you’re a knight and a hero? I’m already a sunfish because of the giant Holy Fire I raised in the capital, and now I’m even more ordinary.

“Okay, we can walk, just walk!”

“If you’re tired, can I carry you…?”

The Hero, whose face was strangely flushed, spoke to me carefully.

The Hero will carry me? Well, if he’s as strong as the Hero, there wouldn’t be a problem if I was carried on his back, and I’d be comfortable.

Could there be a more rational judgment in the world?

“Ahem, Hero… I’ll do that.”

“Ah, no! There’s no need for Natalia to…!”

“No. It’s okay. And… seeing you being carried on the Hero’s back in that state is a bit…”

“Excuse me? What’s wrong with my appearance?”

How could she miss this opportunity? Natalia cleared her throat and stopped her, who was about to jump on the Hero’s back.

What’s wrong with my appearance? She just unbuttoned her chest because she felt stuffy, and since she was wearing a white shirt inside anyway, there was no exposure, right? Thinking so, I lowered my gaze and there…

“Pervert, how lewd are you?”

“I know how you feel, but…”

“Ah, no… Guys? It seems like Sera noticed too…”

Black underwear was visible under the sweat-soaked shirt.

And Laura’s criticism came straight to her without filtering. Me, lewd?

Who’s the one who spends every night in a sticky relationship with the Hero? Who was begging for the Hero’s Holy Sword!

The most wholesome person in this party is me. Being subjected to these words and gazes from the sassy brat and the female onahole knight made me feel so wronged.

I’m working so hard to defeat the Demon King, but thinking about the Hero who is still living a happy other world life made me think it wasn’t fair.

“Ah… Hero, I’m not feeling well either… Can you carry me…?”

“Huh? Well…”

Laura, who was hugging the Hero to her heart’s content, and the Hero, who was scratching his cheek while looking at me.

Anyway, this Hero party doesn’t change.

“I have no exposure, no sweat, and my body is smaller than Sera’s, so it will be more comfortable… Right, Sera?”

“…That’s right. You’re really smart, our Laura… That’s right, there’s no problem at all. Hehe.”

To be treated as a pervert by such a brat. It must have been because I was wearing puppy ears and grinning like an idiot.

Should she just take off her mask and punch them? She had that thought, but she had no justification for stopping this situation.

In the first place, the Hero’s main wife is the Unbreakable Rock…

After thinking for a while, she turned her head as if she didn’t care about the Hero at all, while being carried on Natalia’s back.

What do I care about them having a concubine war? In the first place, it was me who recommended the harem, and it’s not a big deal, right?

Ah, now that I think about it, I haven’t checked what state Natalia is in yet.

Now that it’s certain that the Hero can’t control the charm of the Evil Eye, if Natalia is also in the process of yanderefication, it’s a pretty serious problem.

So, it will be necessary to get her to join the harem and resolve her desires before she goes on a rampage.

“Natalia, what do you think of the Hero?”

“What do you mean… I think he’s a good comrade…”

“Really, is that really all?”

She could feel the hard muscles on her back. She whispered softly into Natalia’s ear, who was quite large for a woman.

“That’s all, in the first place, the Hero’s heart…”

“I’m not asking about the Hero’s heart, I’m asking about your heart, Natalia.”

I see. I haven’t been able to hear Laura and Natalia’s moans since she came out of the fortress, and she has amazing pure love.

How openly did you date that beast-kin beautiful girl for this female onahole knight to show this attitude?

I’m working so hard to defeat the Demon King, but thinking about the Hero who is still living a happy other world life made me think it wasn’t fair.

“I am a simple sword. Love is an unnecessary thing…”

“I don’t think it matters. At least so that there are no regrets left, you have to collide with all your might.”

“S-Sera…! Do you know what you’re saying?”

Natalia replied to me with a surprised voice.

Ha, of course I know.

You have to intrude on the harem and quickly start a concubine war.

“Anyway, you were the first to have a relationship, right, Natalia?”

“H-how did you know…?”

“…After moaning like that. Wouldn’t it be more foolish not to know? Anyway, the most unsightly thing is a man who doesn’t take responsibility for what he has done. Whether you become the main wife or a concubine, I’m cheering for you, Natalia.”

“…”

Unlike Laura, Natalia is silent. Well, this is a normal reaction.

No matter how unprincipled an onahole is, it’s not easy to intrude on a harem where the main wife has been decided.

She knows that there’s no such thing in the novels or games she knows, unless it’s a harem that the main wife has allowed.

Now that I think about it, there was an anime where something terrible happened because the hero played with his j*ck too much.

The line ‘Look, there were no babies, right?’ was really shocking.

It would be a problem if something like that happened.

The Hero has to live to defeat the Demon King. Feeling uneasy for no reason, she decided to give Natalia a firm warning.

“Ah, but. You have to use contraception properly? Hehe…”

Natalia’s body was trembling slightly without saying anything as if she had been greatly shocked, and Laura’s eyes were glaring at me from afar.

The atmosphere was strangely strange for no reason.

Why are they doing that?
