Chapter 152 – How cute…♡
Chapter 150
“Chloe, be careful not to fall.”
“Good hold! But if I fall, the hero will save me, right?”
“…Do you trust me too much?”
Abel and Chloe were friendly even though they were talking nonsense. But Estelle and Celine, who were watching from afar, couldn’t hear it. I could only see their facial expressions.
“…Why do you keep smiling? Laughter is too much. The atmosphere improves because you keep smiling.”
“The warrior always smiles well…”
“Celine, you have to feel a sense of crisis. I said that yesterday, but Chloe is the first woman to hit the hero anyway! They are our enemies, enemies!”
“…Mmm.”
Is it an enemy? It was Celine who couldn’t help but feel that way. She would certainly compete for Abel, but Chloe’s existence was one of the reasons Celine was able to insist on polygamy in the first place.
Since two seats are full, it was Celine who asked for one more seat. So she and Celine had no choice but to be troubled by Estelle’s words.
“Wow!”
“Be careful.”
Chloe swayed slightly, and Abel grabbed her by the shoulder. Seeing that, Estelle gritted her teeth and said,
“Abel is skinship again…!”
“Didn’t you just hold on to me?”
“That’s skinship. It must have been on purpose! That foxy she-cat!”
What on earth is a female cat like a fox? Celine started to wonder a little.
“Look over there. They are a cute couple.”
“Are you a couple? The female side is very small.”
“You idiot, can’t you see that outfit? You’re a cadet at the Royal Academy of Magic in Athens. You can’t recognize that either, are you a noble?”
“Oh, yes.”
Estel frowned as she heard the conversation between a man and a woman who were close by looking at Abel and Chloe.
“…Ugh, I wasn’t allowed to go on a date after all.”
“…Still, Miss Chloe saved us from a crisis, right?”
“If it wasn’t for that, I would never have allowed it.”
“Then it can’t be helped…”
“Still, I hate what I don’t like.”
She was Celine, who couldn’t quite figure out which tune to go with.
“Oh, saintess. Are you two coming?”
“Oh, let’s hide ourselves.”
“…Yes.”
Abel and Chloe came out of the riding arena laughing happily, not knowing in their dreams that Estelle and Celine were close. After handing over her horse to the owner of the riding hall, Abel asked Chloe.
“What are you going to do now?”
“It’s lunch soon, so shall we eat?”
“That’s nice.”
Dining seat. It wasn’t just a place to eat. If a man or a woman were engaged in acts of affection, she was in a position to do quite a bit.
Knowing that fact all too well, Estelle lit her eyes. As if not recognizing Estelle’s burning gaze, Chloe asked Abel.
“Hero, what would you like to eat?”
“I like anything…Um, how about meat?”
Knowing that anything is the hardest answer, Abel corrected her.
“I like it. I know a place with good reviews. Shall we go there?”
“Yes, I am.”
Estelle said after seeing Abel and Chloe leave the riding arena.
“Let’s follow.”
Estel led Celine by the hand, burning her will to stop it if she did anything suspicious.
‘Is it okay to do this…’
On the other hand, it was Celine who kept piling up questions.
#
“Welcome, sir! Are you two?”
We answered yes to the clerk who greets customers with a friendly smile and voice, and she asked us.
“If you are a friendly couple, may I guide you to a more secluded place?”
“Yes? It’s not like…”
“Yes, please!”
I got hit by Chloe’s player. I tried to shake my head, but the clerk already gave us a kind smile and led us to a corner seat, where two people could sit facing each other.
“…Heh heh.”
“The clerk has a good sense~!”
Whether I like this or not…
“What would you like to eat, warrior?”
“Um…”
I looked at the menu of the store. Looking at the carefully designed menu board, I looked at the restaurant menu. It was the place where Chloe brought me after hearing that I wanted to eat meat, so the main menu was mostly meat dishes.
Steaks, bacon salads, cutlets, stews, and many other meat dishes were prepared. Among them, it is on the top, and the menu that this restaurant is most confident about is, of course, steak.
“I’ll take the neck steak.”
“I want sirloin cutlets!”
While we were putting the menu down and calling the clerk to order food, other customers sat a little away from us. Strangely, however, they wore hoods to hide their identities.
Isn’t it uncomfortable to be here to eat? However, both of them looked like women, revealing through their hoods.
“…Um…?”
I have a feeling of deja vu. Like I’ve seen it somewhere…
“Hero!”
“…Yes?”
“You weren’t listening to me, were you?”
“Ah…Sorry. What did you say?”
“Really, where are you looking at?”
I took my attention away from them and focused on Chloe again. She spoke to me again slowly.
“Did you know that the hero became very famous at school?”
“Really?”
“Yes! When the news of the subjugation of the Agares-class monsters became known, the name of the hero made the whole school buzz. There were graduates who said they wanted to be the hero’s teammates.”
“…Heh heh.”
It’s dangerous, so you’d better not think about it.
“Do you think Chloe is like that?”
“I always thought of going back to the hero.”
“…Well, Chloe.”
“Yes?”
I think I have to say this one thing. Whether or not Chloe comes back to me, apart from that, I need to tell you this one thing so I can think about it.
“The place I am going to is very dangerous now. Do you know what I’ve been doing lately? I robbed mothers’ nests. As you know, I met Agareth-class floating monsters, and after that, I met Amon-class knight-type monsters and Agareth-class knight-type monsters.”
“…Yes? Agareth-class knight-type monsters appeared?”
It seems that the fact that I subdued floating monsters is widely known, but I haven’t reported on encountering knight-type monsters yet, so no one will know.
“Rather than appearing, we went to the nest and met. Anyway, it’s such a dangerous place to go. Even if I become stronger, I’m not sure I can keep people safe against those monsters.”
“…Certainly, since you are a hero… You have no choice but to travel in dangerous places.”
I had no choice but to attend due to my circumstances, but I didn’t bother to bring it up.
“Yes, so it is with Chloe, if any of your schoolmates are really thinking about it…you better think about it again.”
“That’s why I’m working hard!”
“Yes?”
Chloe said, putting her hand on my chest.
“I knew long ago that the hero would become much stronger than before. In order to be next to the hero who has become so strong, I have to become an outstanding mage, too. So I’m working hard. I want to return to the hero confidently.”
Chloe’s voice showed confidence and boldness. As if emphasizing that ‘If it were me, he would be a person who could be of help to you’.
I couldn’t help but laugh at that dignified figure.
“Oh, why are you laughing! Really?”
“Oh, sorry. I didn’t laugh at it. Chloe wants to be confident. Usually, there aren’t many people who say that they will help unconditionally.”
“Yeah, that’s right… But I’m that confident!”
Listening to what you say, I think so. A year and a half from now, when he graduated, he was a person I was really looking forward to. What kind of wizard would you be?
“Guest, the food you ordered is here.”
After talking like that, the food I ordered came out. Look at the smell
Likewise, Chloe must have felt the scent, and her eyes were already shining.
“Hyaa, that must be delicious.”
“Let’s eat.”
Grabbing knives and forks, the two began to cut and eat their own food. Abel cut a piece of steak and ate it, and was moved by the taste that melted in his mouth.
“This is meat.”
“Umm, huh?”
“Oh, no. I was talking to myself. It’s so delicious.”
“hehehe, it’s good that you came here, right?”
“Thank you for bringing me to a nice place.”
Chloe cut a piece of the crispy fried cutlet and dipped it in the sauce placed in front of her. And she quickly jumped out at me.
“Try it!”
“Uh…Yes?”
“This is delicious too!”
No, this is only between lovers…
However, Chloe smiled brightly as if she had no other intentions, and I couldn’t refuse even after seeing that expression.
“…Um, that’s delicious.”
“Isn’t it?”
In the end, when I accepted and ate it, Chloe smiled and liked it. It was also a well-intentioned move. It’s my fault for knowing it.
“Can you give me one too?”
“Then directly…”
“It’s a date!”
Heh heh. If you come out like that, I have nothing to say.
…Okay, just close your eyes and let’s do it. Well, no one knows this restaurant anyway, so it won’t seem too strange. It would have never been possible if Estelle was by her side.
From noble mtl dot com.
I cut the steak into bite-size pieces and picked it up with a fork. And handed it over to Chloe.
“Here.”
“Thank you, I will eat it.”
Oh, and Chloe took the steak and ate it with her mouth closed. And I tried to get the fork out, but Chloe wouldn’t let it go in her mouth.
“…Chloe?”
“Lick.”
And Chloe licked my fork with her tongue. Here and there, as if he was going to lick all the steak sauce off his fork.
However, it didn’t look like he was just licking the sauce, so I pulled back the fork in amazement.
“Ah!”
“Oh, sorry. I took it out too quickly…”
“No. I wasn’t hurt…But I still ate less~.”
“…You ate it all.”
Chloe even sucked on the sauce on her lips, running her finger across it. The figure was needlessly alluring, and I had no choice but to avert my eyes.
“The steak is also delicious!”
“That’s it.”

“That…That…!”
“…Certainly active.”
Two women, Estelle and Celine, sit in a blind spot where Abel and Chloe are. I deliberately sat far away so as not to arouse suspicion from Abel, who had a good sense of humor, but because of that, I couldn’t hear the conversation between the two.
Still, I can see their actions, so I was watching them to see if they did anything strange…
“Why are we feeding each other…!”
Estelle cried out quietly. Forgetting that the stew in front of them was getting cold, she tugged at the napkin as she watched Chloe and Abel’s love affair.
And Celine, who at first followed Estelle around and felt remorse, couldn’t help but feel jealous as she watched Chloe’s love attack in front of her eyes. She was also Abel’s lover, so she was natural.
“Kuu, I want to dry it…!”
“You will hear what the hero said.”
“I don’t like that, so I stay still like this…”
When Abel rants, it means he is angry. Estelle didn’t want Abel to be really angry because of her. Even when I was joking around, when Abel got angry, I really felt sorry for him.
“By the way, Abel, isn’t she more resistant to Chloe than I thought?”
“Is there something like that? After all, I guess the word heroic lust is not for nothing.”
“Haa, really… I happen to like someone like that.”
Looking at Estelle lamenting her situation, Celine asked curiously.
“Come to think of it, Saint Estelle, why did you come to like the hero?”
At Celine’s question, Estelle looked at her for a moment. Amber eyes stared at Celine, but she soon dropped her gaze.
And the answer she heard in a quiet voice was a little shocking for Celine.
“It was when I checked her face.”
“Yes?”
A face? So what about the looks?
Celine was a little surprised when she heard that the reason Estelle, the saint of the sun, fell in love with people simply because of her face.
“Originally, I had some fantasies about the hero of order. Thanks to my older brother.”
“Ah…You mean the previous orderly hero?”
It was Celine who remembered the mansion of Ludwig, a former orderly warrior who had visited Bourbon. To Celine, Estelle nodded her head and said.
“I was still fantasizing about it, but one day my grandfather…So the Pope brought me a portrait of him, saying he had been chosen as a champion of order.”
“Yes.”
“From the moment I saw her face in a portrait, I fell in love with her. As I said, I also had fantasies about being a hero of order, and Abel isn’t usually handsome, is he?”
“That’s…that’s right.”
Certainly, Abel was not an ordinary good-looking person, to the extent that anyone would think that she was a commoner. She was so good looking that the jealous Levius would admit that she was handsome as soon as he saw her.
“So I met Abel with a crush on him, but he is much more handsome in real life. And the Abel I actually met…Wasn’t the personality I expected. Honestly, I thought I would pay handsomely.”
Abel had a good enough look. Isn’t it often said that handsome men pay for their faces?
But she wasn’t Abel.
“By the way, seeing it in person is so cute, right? Naive and ignorant How cute it was when he ran up to me with curious eyes because he didn’t know something…♡”
“It goes as expected.”
Celine had seen Abel like that before. She vividly recalled Abel rushing over to ask if he could have a drink with Elfride and asking her permission. She wasn’t even in love with Estelle at this time.
“However, learning is quick, so teaching is rewarding. She thought that with this person she would always have fun… So I fell for it. It was a big thing that I had a crush on from the beginning. Because she had an idea right away that she wanted to interest this person.”
“I see.”
When Celine heard the story, she couldn’t help but smile softly. Estelle looked so happy when she remembered her first meeting with Abel.
Celine muttered to herself.
“As expected, I can’t take away the royal seat. Even though I covet it… I have to give it up.”
“Yes?”
“No. More than that, the saintess and warriors seem to have almost finished their meal, but what about us?”
The stew that had already cooled down was in front of her eyes. Estelle said with a slight cold sweat.
“…Ugh, you can’t throw away food. It’s a sin…Let’s eat it quickly before it gets too cold.”
“Yes.”
But the already cooled stew didn’t taste very good, and Estelle and Celine had no choice but to ask the clerk to reheat the stew.
