Chapter 10.5 – Secret Story – Assembling Party Part 4 Side C




Suu-san then tells my parent that she wants to have a night stroll together with me. Mother and Father think of it as Suu’s way to create her last memories with me so they allowed it with the condition of not bringing me too far. Well, for our true purpose in going out, we can’t abide that condition but it can’t be helped. Suu-san is also stronger than father in term of fighting ability so there should be no worries… is also not a very good excuses to make anyway.
The place where Nameless-san and the other are drinking, [The Red Rose Pavilion], is located in the back alley of the main street in the market. It has a large signboard outside so it is quite easy to find. But when we found the signboard, Suu-san suddenly hold me up and carry me to hide under the cover of darkness and erasing her presence from the surrounding.


“As we have guessed…… Jester and Yugo really intend to commit a crime”
“!!!...... Those big sisters are in danger! Suu-san……!”


Jester and Yugo who are just getting out from [The Red Rose Pavilion] can be seen carrying a person in their shoulder. The one Jester carry is Hilmerda-san while Yugo carry Nameless-san. The two girls seem to be unconscious. Nameless-san boasted about her high resistance towards alcohol so she should not be knocked out from being drunk that easily ---- that means.


“From the looks of it…… Young master, seems like those girls get drugged somehow”
“…… Suu-san, you must absolutely not lose their track. Tail them without getting detected”
“Yes…… let’s go. Young master, I feel a deep respect for your straight sense of justice. And my feelings toward those two guys are……”


Suu-san doesn’t let it out in words but her sub-zero gaze make it seems like enough to freeze the surrounding air.
If I’m not here, maybe she would just go and kill those two guys without much thought. That show how much Suu-san hate the crime that those two are about to commit.


“I don’t want Suu-san to dirty her own hand with the blood of those lowlifes. They should repent for their own sin for their own good”
“……I’m sorry for my impoliteness. To be this disordered in front of Young master like this…… And when I had already decided to definitely never show this embarrassing side of mine to you, Young Master”
“It was a bit scary but, I can understand how mad Suu-san is right now and I find it charming somehow. Because I am also angry right now”


I was meaning to say that line in a light tone but upon hearing that, Suu-san’s eyes opened wide in surprise while fixed her gaze at me.
Even in this kind of dark alley where the only source of light is coming from the moon faint light, I feel like I can see that Suu-san’s cheek is reddens a bit.


“…… That word is to kind for me. That’s why I will treasure that word deep in my heart. Let’s go, Young Master!”

《Suu》 is using 「Sneaking」!
《Suu》 and your sense of presence is disappearing.


Thanks to Suu-san’s skill, we can infiltrate the inn where Jester and Hugo headed into without anyone noticing.

We move carefully so to not letting anyone detect us and head to the 2nd floor to the room where Jester and Hugo are. Suu-san passes the door which leads to the two guy room and instead opens a window in the hall, jump out from it, climb on the wall, and then stops in the inn’s roof. From there, she headed to the window that is connected to the room where Jester and Hugo are staying. When she found it, she peeks inside the room through the window ---- and what she sees inside is.


“Hah, they sleep like dead…… with this they won’t be able to wake up until tomorrow morning”
“If they didn’t it would mean trouble for us didn’t it, you stupid. If they wake up in the middle of the deed and made a ruckus, the guild will definitely catch us and cause many troublesome things to happen”
“When that time do happen we can just move out from Mizell. Or even better, we can go to the neighboring country too where no one know us”
“Women from another country does sounds delicious also. We have already become an adventurer so we must do everything we want and enjoy the most of it while we can”


In the two beds inside the room, Hilmelda-san and Nameless-san are laid on top of each bed unmoving. Those two guy are in the middle of taking off their own shirt which is about to be done. And then they will definitely continue undressing the unconscious girls’ dress next.


(…… I never thought that they are a total low life like this. I feel like even if I kill them here, nobody would complain about it)

“ I think we should kill them right here, right now for the best. But letting young master sees such a bloody scene is definitely bad for his educational situation… What should I do, young master?”
“U-umm…… I think talking about killing or not to kill is already an out for that”
F-forgive my impoliteness. But the present condition won’t give us much time to think. We have to act fast before it’s too late. We will start acting when those two starts touching the two girls body. Is there any plan in your mind, young master?”


While exchanging such blood thirsty dialogue, Suu-san anger got cooled down and she manages to regains her calm. This is also can prove how professional she is in this kind of work field. If it’s her, she definitely can beat those two guys even if she had her eyes closed and hands tied because even her kick is already overkill for them.


“Anyway can Suu-san leave this to me? I do have something in mind that I wanted to try”
“Understood, young master”


Inside the room, Hilmelda-san had gotten her outside leather armor undressed. And now a dagger is about to cut her cloth armor. But that is the end of line for this crime.


Log

You have activates 「Charm」.
「Charm」 automatically activates! 《Jester》《Hugo》 had successfully resist it.


(So they manage to resist it eh? What lucky fellow…… Can’t be helped, let’s try another method)


Log

You have summoned 《Josephine》!


I summon my slime and let it infiltrate inside the room. The slime that suddenly falls from the ceiling hit Jester directly who is about to touch Nameless’ breast.

Boyon~


“U-Uwaaaa! W-what the hell is this! Where did it came from!?”
“Calm down Jester! Don’t make a fuss! People in the outside can hear!”
“---- We already heard it though. And don’t you even dare move a muscle. If you did, we will see it as hostile action and kill you on the spot”
“Wha……!?”


When they are distracted by the slime sudden appearance and let out a loud scream, Suu-san sneak noiselessly into the room, held knife in both of her hands and point it out at both man neck.  Who can guess that she hides knifes inside her skirt like that? Even I can’t,


“W-we only tried to help bringing back these ladies back into their room because they ask us for help, you know? And the thing that is now happening is just a private matter between us. You don’t have any rights to stop us for we are not in the wrong”
“T-that’s right…… We don’t do anything. To us who is [yet] to do anything and suddenly having ourselves pointed by knifes like this. Isn’t it you who are strange miss?”
“We can ask later to a pharmacist about what kind of drugs that those two girls had given to. He should be able to recognize what kind of drug it is was. So you two uncles, you can stop feigning ignorance like that”


I speak from the ceiling but those two guys can’t even look up to search for me.


“This voice… A kid!? Don’t tell me you are that brat who plays together with these girls here……!”
“---- You are not allowed to call my young master with that filthy mouth of yours you low lives!”
“ARGH……!”

(T-that move…… that is submission right? To be able to perform submission by only one hand and to do it to two targets at the same time… that is simply amazing! It looks very hurt but well, they deserved it)


Suu-san twist both of Jester and Hugo’s hands with her hands still gripping on her knives making them unable to move under her submission technique. When they fall to the floor and writhe around in pain, I finally jump down from the ceiling and Suu-san briskly catches me.


“Young master, what should we do next? In my opinion, they need an extensive re-education to beat their character back up to shape…… how about it?”
“H-hiiiiii---- M-my bad! I’m in the wrong so forgive me! I won’t do anything to these girls and will get out from this town so please forgive me!”
“Please overlook our misdeed for this once! I have three hungry kids waiting at home for me! I even have my elderly mother whom I left there!”


Jester’s plea is… well… already bad as is but Hugo’s plea is straight the worst kind out there that even Suu-san twitched her eyebrow in displeasure.


“Hugo Mikestraw. Your origin is from the southern part of Junegan kingdom. No marriage history. You have been registered in the adventure guild for 8 years but still an F rank without trying to climb up to the higher rank. Your family compositions are just your father and older brother only. Is there any mistake in this data?”
“Gu…… W-why did you know about me……You bitc—no your excellency… perhaps you are the guild……!”
“I don’t see any need to answer your question. You are charged for endangering your party member life by making them bait to letting yourself escape from danger. And you are also charged for drugging and abducting your party member. I had witnessed it when you two commit both charges. Therefore, I will execute your punishment now”
“Y-you bitch! What can a girl do by hersel…… Ugya!”


Jester turns defiant and tries to resist by charging on Suu-san but he forgot about the slime. The slime entangles her body around Jester’s feet making him stumble at that instant.


“#*%$&!@”


Hugo also tries to attack Suu-san but she gracefully evades the attack and she strikes Hugo’s nape with a chop that successfully made him faint. She didn’t attack the stomach because Hugo was just a while ago drank alcohol. If she hit the ‘right’ spot, there will definitely be disaster unfold here.


“Young master, let me take care of the rest. They had done disgraceful things to the girls so I will also do the same for them. That is my policy when giving out punishment”
“Okay. Again, thank you for saving them”
“…… Such words are too much praise for me but you’re welcome young master. And then young master, what are you planning to do?”
“I will wait here to keep watch of them until one of them awakes. After that let’s go back home Suu-san”
“Understood. Well then, there is coincidentally a plaza nearby so I will head there. When I finished my job, I will return and take young master home. When the two awakes, please have them drink this”


Suu-san gives me a water bottle then politely bows. After that, she grabs the two guys by the nape and carry them like that just like when carrying filthy trash. Watching a slender girl like her lift those two guys body easily just like that is really surreal. But what will happen to them I wonder? Well let’s just ask Suu-san after this.


◆◇◆


While waiting Nameless-san and Hilmelda-san waking up, I just sit up beside their bed and starts dozing off without being aware of it.


Log
--------------------- becomes ----------.


(Nnn…… What happened……?)


I think I saw a log sprung out just now but my drowsiness reduces my awareness and the log just passes by like that.


“Un…… nnn……”


It was just right the time when Nameless-san awakes. She struggle a bit in the bed then finally manages to get up. I pour the water inside the water bottle to a glass then offer it to Nameless-san who just woken up.


“Hiroto-kun…… Why… you here? Or rather… this self…… ouch”
“Don’t push yourself too hard. You got drugged by those two guys. But everything is alright. We got a dependable person helping us”
“…… But I feel like it was you who save us though. However I also feel worried about your safety. To think that such a small man walking outside this late in the night sounds really dangerous. But then again, above all, this self should say this…… thank you”


She is still a bit disordered but a small smile can be seen on Nameless-san’s face. She pats my head for a bit then accepts the glass of water that I offered to her then drink it up.

---- But the next moment, from under her mask, trails of tears trickle down. Nameless-san is crying. Those tears trickle down from her cheek to her lap.


“Everything is really alright you know? I follow you guys since those two carried you from the bar and I can guarantee that nothing bad happen to you Nameless-san”
“…… No this is. That’s not the thing that I’m worried about. I was wondering just why did I did such stupid things like this…… I’m sorry Hiroto-kun, saying such things like this to you would only make you troubled right? I’m sorry for being a bad adult”
“No, it’s alright. Even adult have times when they feel like crying. Well, my mom and dad never cries though…… wa……”


For a moment when I try to break the ice by joking a bit, I thought she got mad at me. But it was not the case.
Nameless-san falls down with her knee in the floor then she hugs me. I can sense her shoulder trembled. She hugs me soo thigh in her bosom.


“This self has been thinking that she isn’t viewed as a woman at all for all this time. This self never have any interest towards men much less ever think that any men will try to assault her. That way, this self can endure being herself like this”
“…… Nameless-san, did something hurtful happen to you?”
“…… Why is it? Why did I feel like talking all the things that I have decided to keep secret until my grave to you Hiroto-kun?...... You are still an infant… but maybe because of that is it? Will it be okay to rely to this execuse?”
“It’s alright. If Nameless-san is fine with me then, please tell me”


After she hugs me for a while, she starts patting my back. Without me noticing, it somehow become like it was me that is comforted. I kinda feel embarrassed from it.
Nameless-san then gets up. She then fixes up her messy hair. And with that, she returned to (almost) the usual herself. But the trails of tears are still there in her cheek. She wipes it up while smiling sheepishly then lift me up, and make me sit in her lap while she herself sits in the bed.


“If I think back about it, it might be said as a hurtful. This self was having a promise with someone”
“…… Promise?”
“Yes. a promise to someone close to this self. But that promises in the end became impossible to fulfill. But even so, I still can’t give this promise up. This self becomes an adventure is for such purpose”
“Is that so…… that close friend… is that person someone important to Nameless-san?”
“That person is important. But this self relation with that person haven’t yet become like your father and mother which being attracted to each other like that. We can’t have that kind of relationship but this self really respect that person. That person is a being that live soo far away that it is impossible for this self to go meet him but for this self, that person is a really important friend. Whether he thinks the same toward this self, there’s no means for this self to know now”


She talks in a vague way which make it hard to grasp, but she really expresses how important that promise is for her.

Even I also have such regretful unfulfilled promise. In my previous life that is. I promise with those guys from the guild that I will be together with them forever until the end of world. Because of that account hack, even if I wished to, it already steal my ability to fulfill that promise. I as the person who was always get depended upon as the guildmaster suddenly become the one who put a weight on other people. I can bear such feeling---- Yes, that kind of thinking is indeed shallow. I won’t deny that. As I was at that time feel like this world is just beyond salvation. Feel like the world had too much evil lurking within it so I can’t help thinking things negatively.


“Even with this self personality like this, even with this weird mask, the one who accept me as a party member is only Jester and the rest. I once think of doing things by myself but I feel like sooner or later I would hit a dead end wall like that. I knew that those guys saw me as a woman and might think of something bad…… but this self thought that, If I don’t do this, then nothing will gonna start. But well, the result is as you can see”
“…… so that’s why Nameless-san cried? Because the one you thought as friend end up doing bad things to you?”
“It’s not like that. This self is just started to realize how valuable this self own self is because of this accident. I thought that this realization is just far too late so this self was crying upon this own self stupidity. Well, this might be a little bit too hard for you Hiroto-kun……”
“Nameless-san isn’t stupid, I know it. Because Nameless-san had realized it right? Then the answer is easy. Nameless-san just has to treat herself with more care from now on. I too, think of Nameless-san as an important friend so I also wish for Nameless-san to be more aware with her own worth”


While knowing that going out drinking with Jester and Hugo is dangerous, she chooses to take priority of her own ‘duty’ as a party member. But that was the wrong choice. She had realized just now that she should make her own safety the number one priority of all. Well, it is indeed if Nameless-san wasn’t drugged, then she would be stronger than the two guys so she definitely could protect herself so I can’t blame her too much for her mistake even if what she’d done was absurd. Not to mention Hilmelda-san is also present at that time. And the both of them believe that those two wouldn’t try to do bad things to them. But that trust was betrayed in the worst form of all. Of course Suu-san will get enraged knowing that. And with that anger, her punishment would become more severe. Well, it was their fault anyway so just give up to your fate and accepts it.


“…… Even for a weird person like this self to think of this self as an important friend. This self feel like this self starts to understands why Hiroto-kun is so popular. This self felt some kind of revolting feeling towards the women in your party Hiroto-kun. That feeling… it might be a feeling of jealousy now that this self calmly analyzes”
“J-jealous?...... Why?”
“It was just like the feeling when a girl want to be protected by the boy they like maybe? This self just realizes this fact just now…… This self feel very safe when waking up and find Hiroto-kun beside this self bed. Even though when you are soo small like this……”


Nameless-san hugs me from behind like trying to wraps me up completely. I can feel her heartbeat thumping in my back through her rich twin mountain which getting calmer and calmer with every second passed. If she could feel comfortable when hugging me, I don’t mind being hugged like this forever. That is how much I feel happy because I can successfully save them from danger like this.


“…… I don’t know how you sneak out but you should get back quickly or your mother would be worried”
“Yes…… that’s right. Nameless-san, will you go back to your own lodging?”
“Of course. But before that, this self has something to convey to you. This self wants to enter Hiroto-kun’s party. Would you let this self in? This self will endeavor to keep contributing merits to the party… So… please……”
