Chapter 7 – The Price of Salvation

“—I’m happy. To be chosen as a sacrifice, it ans that I’m your most beloved woman, right?”

Please don’t say such a thing, Elsa!

My life doesn’t have any aning unless you’re there.

I beca a hero because I wanted to protect you.

Just the two of us, let’s run away to a distant place sowhere.

I don’t give a shit about the demon king.

This kind of world should just fall to ruin.

Those people who wished to live while pushing that painful role onto you, I don’t want to save them.

“—This is our fate. From the mont we t, it was decided that this would happen.”

Why does it have to be you!?

You are my everything.

Why can’t it be soone else?

Don’t you rember how those people treated you?

Forget about them! You only need to think of your own happiness.

You should be more cunning and more selfish.

You have the right to live and be happy.

“—Hero-sama is such a bad liar. You wouldn’t love if I were such a cunning, selfish woman, right? You said it before, that you liked the who worked hard for the others….. Don’t worry because….. even if you can’t see anymore….. I will be always by your side… for eternity….. “

“Elsa……….” (Keisuke)

When I woke up, a familiar ceiling was there to greet . A fluorescent lamp with a carcass of an insect stuck onto it, and its string which hung loosely. The clock on the wall showed that it was seven o’clock.

This is Japan, inside my apartnt. It’s not another world. Elsa, who was gently smiling at , is nowhere to be found.

“That dream again, huh?” (Keisuke)

The dead body of a woman who couldn’t move anymore was brought in front of . The standard course of my nightmare.

I’m always crying in my sleep when I see this scene, and my face becos a ss when I wake up.

“I have to wash my face.” (Keisuke)

I crawled out of bed and headed for the bathroom. I stood in front of the sink with an unsteady posture.

Water ca out vigorously as I twisted the faucet. Using both hands, I gathered and splashed it towards my face.

I raised my head. Looking into the mirror, there was a middle-aged man with swollen eyes. The unshaven beard has made my face look even worse.

(If Angelica sees like this, I bet she will co to her senses.)

Suddenly, when I turned to the side while laughing a dark laugh, our eyes t.

Angelica was there, sitting on the toilet bowl, doing her business.

“Y-You were there…..!?” (Keisuke)

The girl answered my murmur while flickering her green eyes.

“Yes, I am…..” (Angelica)

I was suddenly lost for words.

(Now I’ve done it!!)

Just last night, I acted all high and mighty, lecturing her to be careful when entering the bathroom. How could I screw up myself?

In the room I occupied, the bathtub and toilet were packed in one place. Imdiately after entering the bathroom, there was a bathtub on the right side and a toilet on the left side. In the center, sandwiched between the two, was a sink.

If n and won live together in such an environnt, this kind of accident is bound to happen.

For example, if Angelica is taking a shower and I have the urge to use the toilet, and co running to the bathroom without confirming if she’s inside.

Or, if Angelica is sitting on the toilet with lowered underwear, and I use the sink to wash my face while half asleep.

Of course, I want to avoid such incidents from happening. Therefore, after I had dinner…..

“While one of us is using the bathroom, try to stay away from the other party as much as possible. Promise that!” (Keisuke)

I made the rule and broke it myself. I just set a bad example as a father.

“So-Sorry, I didn’t an to peek.” (Keisuke)

She covered her crotch with both hands as her cheeks turned slightly red.

Her bare thighs were dazzling. Although her calves and her ankles were thin, they curved in the right places.

(Not good…..)

I didn’t an to observe them so thoroughly but my eyes couldn’t help but get drawn to them.

I tried to distract myself by turning my stiff neck away. I thought to remove her from my line of sight for the ti being.

“…..I do not mind if you want to see it, but please do show yours later.” (Angelica)

“I mind it!!” (Keisuke)

I ran out of the bathroom in a panic. I could hear the sound of flushing water from the direction of the bathroom. I changed out of my pajamas while trying not to be conscious of Angelica. I also wanted to use the toilet, but I must hold it for a while.

I thought she was going to take her ti, because last night—

“Ooh….. So, this is a bidet…..!!” (Angelica)

(ihua: I did not know what a bidet was either, but Google it if you’re curious… I think a lot of Japanese toilets have this, but it’s less common in Arica.)

She has been like that since I taught her how to use the toilet last night. Every ti she sat on the toilet, she would play with the button without any purpose.

It seems this morning, she’s finally cautiously challenging the bidet function…..

“She won’t co out anyti soon, I guess. Should I go outside? On second thought, let’s wait a little more.” (Keisuke)

I thought of shaving my beard for the ti being. While I was concentrating on my shaver, the sound of flushing water was heard once more. A little later, the sound of soone trotting approached.

“I expected no less of Hero-sama! That facility was made to take a bath while watching your partner peeing, right? I think Hero-sama is a genius.” (Angelica)

I didn’t need that kind of expectation. But looking at her sparkling eyes, I wondered if she was praising from the heart.

Are you really a shrine maiden? I thought.

I wonder if those people actually sent a completely random shrine maiden here, so I used appraisal on her. The result: she was a real, full-fledged sacred shrine maiden, and quite strong at that.

- Na : Angelica

- Level : 30

- Class : Sacred Shrine Maiden

- HP : 600

- MP : 700

- Attack : 200

- Defense : 300

- Dexterity : 350

- Magic : 700

- Magic Defense : 720

- Skill : Language Comprehension, Sensing, The Art of Law, Fathercon (education)

- Remark : Curiosity and libido are strong, but has no experience with the opposite sex. She’s targeting Keisuke Nakamoto’s body.

It was pretty easy to understand. There was a sowhat scary part but I ignored it.

The status value required for a rearguard was over 700 across the board. This could be said to be excellent status distribution, and she was best suited to be the healer in a party.

However, it’s a waste of a treasure in modern Japan. There’s rare opportunity for fatal injury, and when that happens, there’s a lot of dical personnel and facilities available.

Oh, but I might be able to use it for business by calling it ‘Magical dical treatnt!’ or sothing. While modern dical treatnts would leave scars, this would not. You could make easy money with it.

(…..I guess that’s a bad idea.)

If I do that, I’ll be revered as a hero or a savior by the people in this world as well. I will stand out and troubles will also co following after .

I’ve learned my lesson. In this world, I will pretend to be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life.

I stroked my chin and headed for the toilet while checking my newly shaved face.

“Sensing skill, huh? Good timing, let’s ask her!” (Keisuke)

I went to look for Angelica after I finished washing my hands.
