Chapter 97 – Fix that rotten mind and live

Chapter 95

After washing in the bathroom, Estelle looked around. It seems she forgot and didn’t bring a towel. Estelle slightly opened the bathroom door and said.

“Abel? Excuse me, but I need a towel…”

“Here.”

“Wow?!”

It wasn’t Abel, it was Estelle who was startled to hear a different voice. But Estelle, who quickly realized who the voice was, spoke with relief.

“…I was surprised. When did you wake up?”

“A little while ago. I need to wash up too, so please come out quickly.”

It was Celine who handed her the towel. Estelle took the towel she handed her and came out wiping her hair.

“Hey, where is Abel?”

“He left the room for a while to wash and prepare us.”

“Really?”

Estelle nodded her head, and she passed Celine. But Celine suddenly grabbed Estelle’s forearm with a snap.

“…Saintess, what is that?”

“Yes?”

“This on the back of the neck.”

“The back of the neck?”

Estelle was nowhere to be seen, but Celine squinted her eyes and saw it. The thing behind Estelle’s neck. It was a deep kiss mark left by Abel.

When Celine was awake at night, she never had such a kiss mark on the back of Estelle’s neck. But it happened suddenly in the morning.

“What is this kiss mark?”

“…Key, kiss mark?”

“What?”

Estelle blushed as she remembered the affair she had with Abel in Celine’s sleep. Abel seems to have left a deep kiss mark on Estelle’s neck at that time.

“I can’t help but sneak in while sleeping…”

“What are you talking about? I-I never did!”

“Then what is this?”

“Yeah, well. I wonder if you left it last night…”

“Because the saintess didn’t have anything like this yesterday?”

“How does Celine know that? She may not have been seen by Celine!”

“No, I saw it correctly.”

Celine narrowed her eyes and looked at Estelle. Estelle subtly avoided his gaze.

“…This lustful saint.”

“What… what?”

“You seduced the hero while I was sleeping.”

“I didn’t seduce you!?”

“As expected.”

Estelle’s reply that she did not seduce her was like admitting that she had a relationship without Celine’s knowledge. Estelle realized belatedly that she had self-infestation, and bowed her head.

In the end, Estelle herself admitted and refuted.

“Why don’t I do it separately from Abel too! Even Celine said she did it twice in the mountains!”

“It has nothing to do with that! Even though she decided to compete fairly…!”

“Mo, I don’t know!”

“You don’t know what, you lustful saint!!!”

“Eh, lewdness!? What are you saying, you vulgar saintess!”

While the two female cats were fighting fiercely, there was a knock on the door. Estelle was still in her gown, and Celine was only wearing her loose nightgown, so it was hard for anyone to go out first.

The two looked at each other for a while, then Estelle answered without opening the door.

“Yes. Who are you?”

“Stand up, saints! It’s a big deal. Hero Abel is now…!”

When Abel’s name was mentioned, Celine and Estelle looked at each other in surprise.

“Are you going to do it with a wooden sword?”

Above the gymnasium, I asked. Then Levius, who was standing on the other side, laughed at me and said,

“A wooden sword? That’s a kid’s joke Shouldn’t it be done with a real sword?”

…This bastard seems to be saying that he can cut people.

“…Okay, then do it.”

But I didn’t mind either. Estelle said that the reason the holy sword loses its sharpness is when, as a warrior, I inflict fatal wounds on others. Well, in the end, you don’t have to cut it.

When I took out the holy sword, Levius burst out laughing.

“Do you want to stick with my thoughts that much? I like that grit.”

“Stop compliments that don’t make sense, and listen to them too.”

“You are very confident that you have been lucky enough to play a few times.”

Levius drew a pair of daggers from his waist. Two daggers of different colors. It was the Holy Sword of Joy and the holy relic of the Ludria Church.

I’m sure that one can cut me without hesitation, and I can’t cut him. There were penalties I couldn’t ignore, but I was confident.

A word that Estelle told me about the strength of the warriors in the past. Among them, the description of Levius was as follows.

‘A level at which an ogre can be subdued without a blessing.’

In the past, I would have been unable to even think of it, but not anymore. I also caught Drakan without a blessing.

Levius grabbed his dagger and took a stance. That relaxed expression and confident smile. What followed was obvious.

“I will give my junior the first ball, come.”

As expected, he was looking down on me. Didn’t you know that being careless in battle is a taboo among taboos? This is why aristocrats with a sense of choice are not allowed.

“You will regret it.”

“Regret? You sound funny. I don’t know where the confidence comes from, but I’ll show you the difference in experience.”

…I don’t think there will be any difference in experience anymore. Recently, I only encountered high-risk monsters a few times.

“Yes, it is your choice.”

I held the holy sword in one hand and lowered my knees and waist. I took a stance with the momentum to jump out at any moment. As I gave it strength, all the muscles in my body were pulled tight.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and ran with a thud.

But something was strange. I feel like my body has become faster than before… Yes, it’s like how my body suddenly became faster after receiving Estelle’s protection for the first time.

As evidence of that, Levius couldn’t react quickly to my approach now. It was a belated reaction, but it was enough time to allow me a blow. I hit Levius on the shoulder with the back of the holy sword.

Puck!

“Keuugh!”

Levius swung his twin daggers fiercely, but this one had already taken a blow and fled. Levius’s dagger cut through the air, and I stepped back to look at him.

“You son of a b*tch…!”

“You better not ignore it too much.”

I don’t know what it is, but I think I’m a bit fast now.

Levius bit his molars so hard that even I could hear them snapping. Isn’t it broken?

“…If dying is your wish, I will do so, commoner.”

This time, Levius moved first. It should be said that it was like a warrior who uses a dagger, but his agility was unusual. Still….

“…Slower than monsters.”

Chaeeng!

Levius, who appeared from the left before he knew it, was clearly taken aback. The moment his dagger was about to reach me, he was blocked by the holy sword. When people panic, there will always be a gap. I didn’t miss the chance.

Awesome!

I hit Levius’ lower jaw with my fist. His fist went in very well, and Levius’s jawbone turned to the side with a powerful impact.

“Kuk…!”

To be honest, I could have hit more if I wanted to hit more, but I widened the distance. Because the other side was able to wield the dagger with real bell momentum in the first place, so it was possible to deliberately allow a blow and stab me.

“Keuugh…”

Levius, who was slapped in the jaw by me, wrapped his chin around and glared at me. Will you eat people?

“Come to think of it, I haven’t decided how to win.”

“…If I become unable to fight, I will win!”

Levius shouted and moved again. To be honest, I should have been hit and the goal rang a little while ago, but I quickly came to my senses and rushed to see if the name “Hero” Was an illusion.

“…He goes again on terms favorable to him.”

A filthy bastard.

I strongly swung his holy sword at the charging Levius. You probably know that I can’t cut myself anyway. But isn’t there such a thing as instinct? If a greatsword suddenly comes in front of you, of course you try to stop it.

I aimed for that point and Levius was caught nicely. He didn’t use both daggers, but he blocked my holy sword with one dagger. Then he tried to stab me with the rest of the holy sword of joy, but I grabbed his wrist and stopped it.

“…!”

Your strength isn’t that strong. It might be on a much higher level than the average person… But weaker than me.

I tried to break my wrist, but Levius grabbed the dagger and scratched my forearm.

It wasn’t a deep cut, but the skin layer was thinly cut and blood flowed slightly. It hurt a bit, but I still didn’t let go of Levius’ wrist and snapped his wrist to the side.

With a booming sound, the right hand holding the holy sword of joy bent to the side, and Levius screamed.

From noble mtl dot com.

“Quaaa!!!”

…Was it a bit harsh?

Perhaps his wrist was broken and his strength was lost, Levius dropped his holy sword from his hand. Not only the holy sword of joy, but also other daggers were dropped on the floor, and he groaned while holding on to his broken hand.

“Kuuu…”

…It looks like it hurts a lot.

But if anyone sees it, they’ll think I stabbed my stomach with a knife. The brave man is so cruel… He has no patience.

“Hey, don’t be rude.”

“This… How dare you… Beep, you commoner bastard…!”

Levius was still glaring at me fiercely. Looking at those eyes, I felt that even a little sympathy had disappeared.

“…I am an idiot for worrying even for a moment.”

Let’s just make a quick match. I was told to make it incompetent. I heard the Holy Sword. He pointed the back of his sword at Levius.

“…What…Doing…”

“We have to pay for the match.”

“What…Gagging!”

Puck, puck! Puck!!

He hit Levius with the back of his sword. Hitting just one spot could cause a fatal wound, so alternately hitting several spots. Then Levius shrank his body and tried to protect his head.

…I don’t intend to hit you in the head anyway. If you cringe to hit me, it’s good for me.

I hit Levius’ thighs, calves, shins, back, wings, and shoulders, focusing on parts that would end up with bruises. I really didn’t lie, I cleaned it to the point of dust.

While Levius didn’t surrender and continued to beat him, a familiar voice came from outside the gymnasium.

“Ah, Abel!!”

There was a mix of perplexity in the familiar voice calling my name. Turning her head, it was her too.

“Estel?”

Beside Estelle, who looked at me with eyes asking what the situation was, Celine was also there.

“Hero! Stop!”

“…Don’t get me wrong. This is a sparring by mutual agreement between each other…”

“Kyaaah, Levius!?”

“Les, Levius!”

Then two other women appeared behind Celine. They were Levius’ colleagues, Natalie and Sonia. The two of them rushed towards Levius, who I had beaten, with a look of urgency.

Natalie threw herself over Levius and looked at me.

“When, if you’re going to hit me, hit me!”

…Wait, I think you’re misunderstanding something.

Sonia looked at me with her tears welling up.

“Please, please stop…”

“…Th…You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

“Huh, am I misunderstanding…? What’s wrong with beating someone like this…?”

…Why are you crying?

For now, put the Holy Sword back on your back. But Sonia continued to cry, and Natalie looked at me with fearful eyes.

…Why do I feel like the bad guy? Feeling unfair, I shouted at Levius.

“Hey! Say something too! You and I fought under an agreement!”

“Keep it off…”

“Stop being rude!”

“Stop it! You’re supposed to hit me like that! How many more hits will you be satisfied with!”

Shrieked, Natalie covered Levius as if trying to protect him.

…f*ck, you keep calling me the bad guy.

I can’t stand it because it’s unfair. I pointed at Levius and shouted in the same way.

“No, he got into a fight first and then lost to me. What are you talking about!?”

“…What?”

Natalie opened her eyes wide, and Sonia, who had been weeping a little, opened her eyes wide and looked at me.

“This is the one who suggested this Dalian in the first place, and the condition of victory must be taken to win the opponent.”

“… Huh?”

“Abel.”

I was getting angry, but before I knew it, Estelle and Celine were approaching me. Estelle looked straight at me and asked.

“Why did you fight?”

I started to calm down a little at her attitude of asking very calmly.

“This guy started a fight over something strange and we had a verbal argument. Then, this guy first suggested sparring. Let’s do what the guy who fought and won said was right. That’s why I accepted it.”

And this guy really tried to cut me during sparring? I said, showing the scar on my forearm.

“You see this? This baby, he really tried to cut me by using that he could cut people. He loses in Dalian, where everything is in his favor, so he was beaten, but he had a strange misunderstanding…”

“Abel, first…”

Estelle gently grabbed my arm and breathed her divine power into it.

“I start with treatment.”

“…Well.”

…Did I show it for nothing?

It was only a small wound, but as soon as I showed it, the reaction from Estelle and Celine was great. Seeing the blood flowing from her arm, Celine was also startled, so Estelle put everything aside and started treating her.

Celine said, glancing at Natalie and Sonia.

“Why do you arbitrarily misunderstand and accuse the hero of being a bad person?”

“No…It was a misunderstanding…”

Natalie’s voice was a bit apologetic, but she excused herself by saying she couldn’t help it.

It might be like that to someone I don’t know… But I still didn’t like the attitude that drove me to be a bad person. Our Celine is doing well! Say more!

“So she did well?”

“…Sorry.”

“…Sorry.”

Natalie and Sonia apologized profusely to me. Yes, you can misunderstand. I gladly accepted the apology.

After picking apples for the two of them, Celine looked at Levius in a cold voice and said.

“…Will Hero Levius stop smoking and get up? It looks like a bruise at best.”

“Kkeuh…I, I can’t see this wrist…!?”

“If I go to the priest, I’ll fix it right away. Or maybe you have a new saintess with you.”

As Celine snapped, Natalie said with a little trouble.

“…Not yet.”

“…Yes?”

“After you left, I went to the Church of Euraria and the Church of Sesria, but the response from both was lukewarm.”

Levius, this baby, reputation was not bad. Did the recent work in the Kingdom of Vesta have a big impact?

“Then you can go to the doctor in the palace and get treatment. On the way, heal the wounds from being beaten by the warrior.”

“Keugh, Celine…Don’t keep talking arrogantly, hurry up and treat me!”

…This bastard still hasn’t gotten over it. I think Celine is very much her thing.

I tried to step forward, but Celine stopped her in her tracks. She stopped me and said confidently.

“Why me?”

“What…?”

Celine was no longer intimidated. The woman who had always stood by Levius with a timid appearance in the past was no longer there.

Celine looked Levius straight in the eyes and said.

“I think you are still misunderstanding something. I am no longer your colleague, Levius. Did you think I would lend a hand to the person who arbitrarily started a fight with our hero?”

It was the first time I had seen Celine call Levius without the title of warrior. She’s got her heart a little bit poisoned now.

Celine turned her head away and left her seat first. It was as if she didn’t want to be in the same space as Levius any longer.

I looked down at Levius and said.

“Fix that rotten brain and live.”

After that, I looked at Estelle. Healing had already been done with divine power, but he was still caressing the wound.

“Estel, isn’t everything better? We will go too.”

“Abel, please go first. Jeon….”

Estel looked down at Levius with ferocious eyes.

“…I think I have a little something to say.”

“…Can I beat you?”

“I don’t hit you. I’m not a violent monkey like Abel♡”

…A monkey. Still, the title is a bit cuter than chimpanzee.

“…Then I’ll be there first.”

“Yes~♡”

#

Abel left first, and the remaining Estelle glared at Levius. Then Levius flinched inappropriately, and Natalie and Sonia were puzzled by Levius’ reaction.

At Levius, who was very nervous, Estelle smiled and said,

“Levius Hero. Do you have something to talk about with me?”
