Ankoku Kishi Monogatari (WN)

Though Harsesh's appearance was the combination of a human and a winged lion, he definitely looked much better than ordinary humans. Naturally, he had inherited his mother's good looks.

I mean, my heart kept racing since he kept looking at me.

「Fufu, you look different from when I saw you before. There's no more suitable name for you other than a beautiful princess.」

My current attire wasn't the usual robe, I was wearing the traditional Gypseal attire, which exposed a lot of skin. And since I had borrowed this attire from Ishtar, who loves wearing luxurious items, it naturally made me look like a dolled up princess.

「Fuh, I haven’t been able to take my eyes off of you the moment I saw you again. Well, will you come join this Harsesh?」

Harsesh brought his face closer.

But, he got interrupted by Reiji's hand.

「Prince, will you stop trying to seduce my comrade? Look, there is another woman behind you, right?」

Reiji forcibly put himself between Harsesh and me as he pointed at the sphinx who stood behind Harsesh.

「Get out of my way. This black-haired girl is the Goddess of Knowledge. I want to properly welcome her to Gypseal.」

「Too bad, that's impossible. Chiyuki is MY Goddess of Knowledge. I won't give her to you.」

Reiji replied back with a ferocious smile on his face.

「I see, we're fated to fight, eh? Don't think that you'll have an easy time like before.」

「Hump, a loser wails.」

Reiji and Harsesh were glaring at each other.

Oh no, they're going to fight because of me.

I looked at Sekhmetra.

If it was just Reiji, then I alone would be enough to stop him, but Harsesh didn't seem like he would stop unless Sekhmetra told him to.

Sekhmetra seemed to have noticed the situation too.

That's a relief, please stop them.

「Hou? A fight over the Black-Haired Sage, is it? Great! Harsesh!! I'll only stop you if things get really dangerous! Fight to your heart’s content!!」

Dammit, don't pour oil into the fire, please!!

Contrary to my plea, Sekhmetra fanned the fight instead.

The people around were also stepping away from Reiji and Harsesh.

「If our leader doesn't feel like stopping the fight, then neither can I. Well Chiyuki, let's get away from them for now.」

「Wait a minute, Bruhl?!」

I tried to pull Bruhl.

Something really bad is going to happen!!

「Oh my? What are you doing I wonder?」

Suddenly, Ishtar's voice resounded in the hall.

It seems she finally returned.

But, I doubt her coming would change the situation, I mean, she even cheered during the fight between Reiji and the Evil gods after all.

Me included, everyone in this hall was looking at Ishtar.

「「「Eh?!」」」

Their shocked voices overlapped with each other. But, it wasn't due to Ishtar's appearance. They were surprised upon seeing the girl who followed Ishtar from behind.

Ishtar grabbed the girl's hand and went toward Reiji and co's direction.

Everyone's attention was focused on that girl.

The reason was simply because of that girl's transcendent beauty. Even I, and the other women's eyes couldn't look away from her. She wore Gypseal's traditional attire complete with the golden ornaments, there was a golden falcon hair ornament on her long, bluish-black hair.

She was short but had a nicely shaped figure surpassing that of the gravure model. Yes, surpassing even a gravure model, I mean, her breast size might be even bigger than mine. They were smaller than Ishtar's or Rena's but they definitely were fit to be called as beautifully shaped breasts.

Since she wore clothes that exposed a lot of skin, her snow-white skin was shown to everyone. And just like Ishtar, her breasts seemed like they were about to spill from her rather skimpy attire.

She had a small and well-ordered face, and Gypseal-style red eye shadow on her pair of big and beautiful eyes, which enhanced her beauty by several levels.

Who in the world was this country-toppling beauty?

Her face was blushing since a while ago, maybe because she wore such an embarrassing outfit.

And yet, such an innocent gesture upped her charm instead of dampening it, it struck the heartstrings of everyone in this place.

「Uhm, Ishtar-sama!! Please don't pull my hand like that!!」

Her voice seemed familiar, the problem was I couldn't remember whose voice it was.

「It's fine♪ You look good in it♪ It seems I interrupted something, but you won't mind me for this interruption, right? Here’s a question, Can you guess who this gi~rl is?」

Ishtar pushed the back of the girl, asking the dumbfounded Reiji and Harsesh.

「I-Ishtar-sama… Stop…」

And yet, Ishtar completely ignored the girl's protests.

「Really cute right? I mean, I never expected her to change this much.」

「Stop it already, Ishtar-sama!! I've had enough of this! I have to go now!! They're already waiting for me!!」

The beauty shook Ishtar's hand and ran quickly toward the exit.

The princess, Nel, was already standing at the entrance.

Maybe Nel was waiting for the beauty.

In that way, the beauty left along with Nel.

Even after the beauty had left, the people in the room were still dumbfounded by the sudden entrance of the beauty.

And then, a few seconds after they left.

「ISHTAR! WHO IN THE WORLD IS THAT BEAUTIFUL GIRL?!!」

「MOTHER!! WHO IS THAT BEAUTIFUL GIRL?!!」

Both Reiji and Harsesh drew in to Ishtar who still looked at the entrance.

「Geez!! Totona-chan is such a shy girl!! Even though she was finally willing to wear rather revealing clothes!!」

Ishtar spoke with a regretful look on her face while looking at the door.

Everyone couldn't hide their shock hearing her remark.

That girl was… Totona!?

Normally, she was always wearing a thick robe and a wide hat. That's why I was really surprised to see such a drastic change simply by changing her attire.

At this point, both Reiji and Harsesh had already completely forgotten about me.

Their quarrel had already stopped and yet, I felt rather annoyed instead.

◆A Pervert No Matter How You Look At It, But He At Least Wants to Maintain Gentlemanly Air Around Him, Kuroki

「Nya~♪ The big Nya~r river♪ A golden river with a lot of fi~sh♪ Watching over us foreve~r♪」

The adorable catsith kittens were dancing happily. The bell on their choker made a beautiful jingling sound as they danced. They were so adorable, but that wasn't the problem.

Anyhow, I was currently sitting in a seiza position in front of Totona, waiting like a criminal awaiting his judgment.

Totona ended up passing out after seeing THAT.

I realized immediately that I had forgotten about the fact that I had taken off the clothes beneath the white cloth!! It's definitely not because I enjoyed the sense of liberation!! I tried to explain to her, that whether she consented or not was another matter though.

Nel didn't seem to care about it. Is it because wild animals were basically naked?

I mean, you might say that those adorable catsith who danced before us were all buck-naked.

The tiny male catsith who danced before us basically exposed his b*lls right before us.

… Why the heck am I starting to compare myself to a cat now?

I mean, being naked was bad.

Thus, I stopped disguising myself as Medjed for now and a coiled cloth around my waist.

「Is something the matter nyaa? Is there something that you're not pleased with nyaa.」

A catsith asked worriedly.

「Eh, No!! There's nothing like that!! It's really adorable!!」

I replied in a hurry since the catsith seems to be really anxious.

「Is that so? Will you drink liquor nya~?」

A cat sith offered a crystal cup with liquor in it.

The name of the liquor was lion's milk, it was a high ball with a high percentage of alcohol. This liquor was made from date palm mixed with distilled grape, the aroma probably came from anise seeds. It had a transparent white color, but its color would change once mixed with water.

It was called lion's milk mainly due to its milky white color after being mixed with water.

This lion's milk was an aperitif provided with hors d'oeuvres.

That was the reason why there were so many hors d'oeuvres lining up before me.

Goat’s cheese and lettuce.

A dish resembling a cabbage roll, made from grape leaves, wrapped around minced meat.

A humus-like dish topped with a lot of sesame seeds, salt, and pepper.

A variety of small fishes fried in vegetable oil.

But, I had yet to touch any of those dishes.

「Thank you. But, I'll enjoy the dishes later after Totona and princess Nel return.」

After she woke up, Totona discussed something with Nel and together, they left the room.

It seems they wanted to change their clothes.

In addition, they also told me to wait for them.

Thus we arrived at the present with me waiting for Totona and Nel while being entertained by the cats.

「Is that so nya~. How about reading the book for meow?」

「Eh? Do you have a book here?」

「Yes, Totona-sama loves books after all. She always leaves a book that she recommends to princess-samanya here.」

I see, that's intriguing. I wonder what kind of book she recommended to Nel?

「Hee, so what kind of book is it?」

「I'll bring the book, please wait for a minyaaow.」

After leaving for a while, the catsith brought back a book from the corner of the room.

「This is our latest most popular book.」

The catsith gave me the book, alas I couldn't read it since it was written in Gypseal letters.

Though the language barrier wasn't a big deal thanks to magic, letters were another matter.

The book had the picture of a cat on its cover.

This might be somesort of cat story.

「What kind of book is this?」

I asked curiously.

「This was the story of Puss in boots. Totonya-samanya collects the human stories she hears from the one called Kuroki.」

I spat the beverage in my mouth the moment I heard that.

Come to think of it, I did tell Totona the story of Puss in Boots.

Well, the reason why I became acquainted with Totona was due to our common interest in books.

Totona was the librarian of Elios' library after Loughas left. Loughas gave me a letter of introduction when I told him that I wanted to know more about this world.

That was how I met Totona.

Even I couldn't help but recall how she had helped me a lot when I had just come to this world.

In addition, since I had yet to master the letters back then, I often asked Totona about the content of the books with letters that I couldn't understand.

I always had the feeling that I was annoying her back then.

Even now I still feel guilty about it.

But, despite seeming reluctant to teach this stupid me, I was really grateful since she still taught me properly when I asked her.

And then, when it reached the point in which I didn't need her help to read anymore, I got this feeling that she opened up a bit to me.

It was around that time I told her about Puss in Boots.

The catsith didn't seem to realize that the "Kuroki" they're talking about was me.

I received the book from the catsith.

I flipped through the book and arrived at the picture of the king of ogres dancing with Puss in Boots.

I unintentionally let out a muffled laugh.

Totona had seemed really interested when the story had arrived at that part.

And now, even though I finally managed to get along with her, she might hate me and label me as a pervert for exposing my p*nis right in front of her.

Thus, I nervously waited for Totona.

「Thank you for waiting, Kuroki.」

It was Totona's voice.

She was back.

I raised my face and looked at the direction of her voice.

At that moment, my brain was paralyzed.

A girl whose beauty rivaled Kuna’s and Rena’s stood before me.
