The reward for defeating Cyclops was 400 gold coins. The cost of defeating it was about the cost of two detergents, so the profit margin was about as good as it gets. My mood was lifted by the fact that I was rewarded with about 100 gold coins for my trouble with Limona.
“Welcome back, Sora sama.”
“Ah, yes. I’m home, Rhys. Look at this. Four hundred gold coins.”
“Four hundred ! ……I see, it seems that Guildmaster has also spent a bit of money. ……But it’s reasonable considering how strong Sora sama is.”
Yeah, well. I have no idea how serious the threat of monsters is in that world, but if you want me to defeat them again, I’m sure I’ll get a reward.
When I heard the behind-the-scenes stories like that, I thought that Rhys had been working in that guild until recently.
“By the way, Rhys, where’s Limona?”
“If it’s Limona, she’s cleaning Sora sama’s room with Nozomi sama.”
Well, it was Limona who made a big mess of my room, so it makes sense for her to clean it herself.
“Why?”
“Well. I was thinking of returning Limona to the palace today.”
“Return her to the palace?”
“Yeah, yeah. I think the knights are looking for her.”
I also have some other business with the knights.
――After all, it was Princess Limona’s instructions that caused Rhys to suffer so much, but I believe that it was Limona herself who restrained Rhys, carried her to that dark place, and subjected her to such cruel torture.
Just because you were told to do something is not an excuse.
It is the knight’s own responsibility to have pledged his allegiance to Limona. I believe that I have to pay the price.
I opened the door to my room.
“Look, Princess. You made the mess yourself, so lick and clean it yourself. Fufufu.””
I saw her crawling naked on the floor, licking the floor covered with urine, blood, and other bodily fluids that she had spilled, and Nozomi stomping on her head and looking ecstatic.
“Hey, Nozomi.”
“Ah, no, this is…..um. I’m just continuing on with the education of Limona that Sora asked me to do yesterday.”
I don’t like Nozomi’s ecstatic expression. Because it brings back memories of the past when I was bullied.
However, I like the way Nozomi looks now when she looks like she’s about to cry when I see her. Well, I’ll allow her to have a little fun with it.
…This morning, when she saw me having sex with Limona in front of her, she looked very sad, and I can imagine that this probably had a lot to do with it.
“I’m not mad at you for this. You’re a good girl for listening to me, Nozomi.”
I pulled Nozomi into a hug and stroked her head.
Nozomi’s face was red, tears were forming in the corners of her eyes, and her body was shaking a little.
“Sora. I’m going to listen to you a lot more from now on. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do…….! I’ll do whatever you want !”
“Yeah. Thank you, Nozomi.”
Nozomi may have never been loved by anyone, and hardly ever even said thank you. I know this because I, too, had never received a gratitude since my mother died until I was transferred to another world and met Rhys.
Nozomi is hungry to be loved and approved.
I know what Nozomi wants because I grew up in a similar situation to her.
I don’t hate Nozomi so much anymore.
The memory of being abused still remains in me as a trauma, but Nozomi sincerely apologized to me and has been trying to serve me since then. When I saw Rhys in such a bad state, and Limona after the torture, she healed them, even if it had the disadvantage of reliving the pain.
Nozomi does everything for me. So I don’t hate her anymore.
I don’t hate you anymore.”
“Sora……”
I let go of Nozomi. Nozomi looks very lonely. It’s not Nozomi’s turn today. I promised to take care of Nozomi this weekend.
“Then, Limona, get ready. I’m taking you back to the palace.”
“…………”
The light returned to Limona’s blue eyes, which had been expressionless with the highlights gone, and hope sprang up in her face, which had been stained with despair.
Then, Limona noticed that she was naked and blushed in embarrassment, then rummaged through the drawers in my room and quickly put on my clothes.
I didn’t buy her any underwear, so she could see the shape of my shirt when she put it on. But I guess it’s appropriate for Limona.
“Rhys, I’m taking you with me.”
“…..Yes ! I understand. As for my appearance.”
“That’s fine. Just make sure you have your stuff ready, okay?”
“Ah, yes. Then I’ll go get ready as soon as possible !”
I transferred to the royal palace with Rhys, who had returned from my room with my tools, and Limona, who was looking a bit shabby for a princess, as if she had understood my intentions.
We transferred to Limona’s room.
–Yesterday, I was able to easily take Limona away from the knights who were guarding her using two transfer gates.
“Who are you !?”
“L-Limona sama !
“Half-elf and the transfer hero ! !”
There were several knights in Limona’s room. They glared at us, pointing the tips of their spears at us. Why in the world are these people in this room when Limona, who they was supposed to protect, is gone?
I wondered with disdain whether I should send a coin to the knights’ hearts or pass a transfer gate through their blood vessels. I heard Limona’s voice echoing through the room.
“D-don’t point your weapons at them.”
Limona looked pale and trembled. If Rhys and I get mad, she’s the one who’s going to get the worst of it. I taught that to her body for the entire day yesterday. Looking at her now, I can say that the education was worth it.
“Y-your Highness.”
“L-Limona sama.”
The knights looked at Limona with a very complicated expression, but lowered their weapons.
“Limona, take us to the king.”
“I understand.”
Limona began to walk around the palace. I had often been shown around the palace by Limona, but never before had I seen her backside look so small.
“……This way.”
There, in front of a door that looked poorer than the princess’s room or, if anything, the suite I had been assigned, and surprisingly lacking in splendor and grandeur, was a small room with a large, open door that looked like it could only be a small room with a small window.
“What is this? Is this really the room of the current king?”
“…..Because I was the real ruler of this country. My father is already in semi-retirement.”
I see. But still–.
No, perhaps. This slightly poor room was also done by the black-hearted Limona to show off her real power in Barbados.
I see.
I open the door without knocking. Inside, a frail-looking, slender old man is sitting on a chair looking languid.
“……! Limona. And that’s the hero of transference. …..H-half-elf !”
The old man’s eyes widen at the sight of Limona’s face, then narrow a bit at the sight of me. And as soon as he saw Rhys, he blatantly frowned.
But after a while, he let out a sigh and felt a little bit of dignity in the king who was on his cheekbones.
“So, what brings you here?”
We walked up to the king, and I assured him with a glare.
“We have come to settle the matter of Rhys–“
