Chapter 32: New Enemy

“Master, when am I going to receive my kiss? I am fine with whenever and wherever! It’s fine if it’s here and now aswell!”

Her face was becoming crimson red and closed her eyes faced towards me and was waiting from me for something.

“Pushing it is not necess….”

“I’m not pushing myself! If I receive a kiss from my Master I’ll be the happiest person on the earth.”

She said that with her eyes closed and sprouted a lively smile.

I felt as if she was prepared for it.

Mumumu, I waver.

I was greatly perplexed.

Lucia is still a child.

Surely she mistook her trust towards me for love.

Naturallly, whenever Lucia goes to walk in the town all of them males look at her, the women cannot believe and look at her with envy at how beautiful she is. She’ll be a beautiful woman that’ll be able to get any man.

If such a girl liked me then I would be very happy. But, unfortunately those dreams like stories are not real.

For that reason I couldn’t take advantage of Lucia’s trust towards me to take away her lips.

I must not do anything of that sort to the important orphanage children.

But as I was thinking along those lines, Lucia’s ears dropped down and tears began to show up.

“Lucia?”

“Master, could you perhaps hate Lucia?”

In a weeping voice she questioned me.

“That cannot be so? I should’ve said that before? You are my most important person.”

“It’s a lie! If that’s so, why won’t you kiss me!?”

She said that and started crying a lot.

I did not think she would get this much of a shock from not getting a kiss.

Saying it was from love but rather she was shaken from the refusal.

If I think about it carefully, I am her only companion.

Since I am like a foster parent to her and my rejection to her would naturally be a big shock.

Damn it, my thinking was shallow.

It can be said that she’s young but since she comes as a ill-treated slave she has a trauma in being rejected.

But, in this case what action would be fine?

It can’t be that I cannot understand to treat a young girl. Especially a crying young girl.

“I like Lucia a lot, you’re important to me. But you are still a child. I am happy that you trust me so much, but you’re confusing what love is what I think. That’s why I think that you should save your kisses to the person you will fall in love truly.”

With my words, Lucia instantaneously made a blank face.

Then, as soon as I was about to speak, she took those words and for some reason began to talk once more.

I wonder what words she took in.

“Ehm… This means that there is no reason for Master to dislike me, right?”

To that question I answered.

“It’s true, you are the most important person to me.”

When I answered she blushed to it.

“Is that so? But, kissing is bad? Because I am a child, it’s not love?”

:”Well, that’s right.”

With that answer, I was anxious that Lucia would cry again but she didn’t instead she smiled.

“Ehehe. Even Master had things that he didn’t understand. I am relieved.”

That’s what she said.

“Hn? What do you mean?”

I asked in puzzlement, her earlier crying face as if it was a lie there was now a flower-like smile.

“It’s a secret. I’ll tell you when I grow up!”

With saying that she showed a beautiful smile of a woman rather than one of childness.

I didn’t understand the meaning of her words so I just tilted my head in confusion.

The other girls saw our exchange and began talking.

“To be cherished by Masatsugu-san to such an extent, I am jealous. As expected of the first wife Lucia-chan… This is the presence of the legal wife. I also as the second wife have much more things to study for.”

“Unfair~. I also want to have an romantic exchange with Masatsugu~”

“Is that the power of an airhead? I want to do it too.”

Comments like that were thrown but I didn’t understand much about it.

With that exchange passing in the end Lucia settled with having a date with me. Naturally I asked her “Is there anything good other than that?” but she got really sad so I couldn’t say anything more than that.

Well, in the first place I told her she could ask for anything she wants if she defeated the dragon and she did, so her request about the kiss got rejected, but reversing this request now was bit difficult.

Besides

“Master, I’m glad that I am living…”

Well if she is this happy to go on a date with me then the price would cheap.

Sigh, why are you so thankful for.

“The talk about rewards is as far as it goes now. Now that the strongest so called dragon Calamity Dragon is exterminated, what would be good for us to do next Silvy? Would it be fine if we go to the adventurer guild to report about it?”

Silvy was shaking her head flusteredly when I asked her.

“Absolutely not. Making somebody who saved the world to make him go somewhere would be inexcusable. For the comfort of Saviour-sama the guild master himself will come to listen to the report. That being said I as guild’s master daughter and receptionist I am an witness that can confirm your feat and I would want you to receive the thanks from the guild as a whole.”

“I see. But, being thanked is unnecessary. I don’t like serious stuff like that. I am not interested in fame nor political power. I just want to protect the orphanage, so me saving the world was by accident.”

Silvy’s pupils began to glow with a profound gleam when I said that.

“Your opinion is right. Still, how can we have a chance to thank you properly? It’s natural for us to want to thank the person who was able to save the world. Please give us the chance to thank you!”

She bowed her head when she said that.

“Fuun, it’s troublesome for me but if you insist so much about it, then so be it.”

“THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You will be notified the date for us showing your gratitude.”

Silvy once more bowed her head.

Haa.

But, I see what she is saying is justfiable.

I myself was acting a bit impudent.

As I am the person who saves I didn’t notice how the saved people felt.

I didn’t have such intentions but people look at me as the hero who saves the world.

Heroes are the objects of admiration.

It’s a very natural thing of the common people to thank heroes.

This comes close to the feeling of a religion.

It will be hard for me to stop being respected by others since I did nothing less than saving the world itself.

Sigh, I am a fully-fledged human not something like a god or similar.

But, it was better for me to save the world rather than a god who wouldn’t do anything.

Nevertheless, this makes me sigh.

“Haaa…”

I didn’t want to stand out because it would become this much of a troublesome situation.

But no matter how much I do not want to stand out, the amazing power and great personality will ooze out and then the people won’t go away.

Damn it, what do I need to do in order to live quietly.

I just want to focus on managing the orphanage.

I don’t have free time to save the world or something like that.

While I was thinking such things, suddenly a creep voice resounded among the mountain.

“To be able to defeat the 10th rank, who the heck are you?”

It was a darkness that was clumping together it gave off a creepy feeling as if madness has manifested.

The moment the voice resounded the earlier clear sky was covered by clouds from nowhere and thundering claps were being heard.

But, I was not confused about this.

“Fumu, it seems it’s telepathic message by using large-scale magic power. Probably you are a subordinate of the Evil God?”

I asked composedly.

“Hoou, you did good seeing through this. I am Whikram the 7th rank. I’ve filled the land with death as a demon king. I came to see the situation with the 10th rank but to think he would be defeated. He became a rank member due to the pity of Evil God-sama. I am different. My plan is already steadily progressing. Soon you and the world will tremble from my menace.”

He was smiling when he said that.

“To me the difference between 10th and 7th is nothing. In the first place it’s a talk which I have no interest. But if you are in my way then I’ll sleep you like trash. You are just going to hurt yourself, I’m advising you to stop.”

To his sneering words I kindly advised him.

But

“Kukuku, Gahahahaa! You are an amusing human! To say such jest to me who could be called the Demon King! But simply just because you defeated the Evil Dragon you shouldn’t immediately be arrogant! At best, there’ll only be brief respite.”

In the end he left with eerily words that indicated something and the clear sky returned back.

Sigh, I was lamenting. As I thought, no matter how much I don’t want to stand out, troubles will find me from the other side.

Well, that’s probably because I am a hero.

I am not happy about it or anything.

Rather than, it would be good if the girls didn’t become frightened at this.

While I was thinking that I looked at the girls.

But, Lucia’s head was filled about the date so she was smiling from one end to the other end, and Elin, Shii and Silvy were…

“Please grant me the right for the next battle, Masatsugu-sama! And then if I defeat them I want to be rewarded aswell!”

“Aah~ Elin-chan getting ahead of us is unfair~ I also after long time can try my best as a Deity~ I want to receive lots of rewards from Masatsugu~”

“Elin and Shii causing trouble is not a good plan. I am here too…”

What, the girls were in very high spirits.

Eeh, what’s up you girls?

I could only be confused at their state.

I wonder what kind of rewards they would be asking for.

Is there much that I can do for you girls?
