Chapter 43
Sasakura-san’s jealousy was a crisis that came out of nowhere after the talks about A-ji.
Since I had survived the crisis, I was very lucky to have seen the jealous beauty of the goddess.
Being jealous is proof that you are being thought of, so it’s not surprising that I would be unconsciously happy.
By the way, while I was trembling with joy, Sasakura-san began to talk.
“What about B-ji-san?”
“Oh, I heard he had been training all the time until a while ago.”
Now she wants to ask about B-ji.
Well, she asked about the situation with A-ji, so it’s only natural to touch on that as well.
Therefore, I will answer this question as well, without any problems.
“A while ago?”
“Yeah. It’s about time the seal of the demon king has weakened, and the number of powerful and ferocious demons is increasing all over the world. I heard that they’re cleaning those up when they’re training for battle.”
Finally, B-ji started his career as a hero in a full scale.
I thought it’s very typical of the Demon King to strengthen demons and become violent.
However, Yuna-sama and the others there said that it’s not the Demon King that’s doing it, it’s just a side effect of the Demon King’s enormous and wild magical power leaking out.
It seems that the Demon King’s magical power stimulates the pores of magical power in various places… the places where the magical power is spewed out, and its seems that the concentration of magical power is the surrounding area has rapidly increased.
It seems that the demons in the areas where the concentration of magical power has risen took in too much of it and grew in power, but they couldn’t bear that power and instead they lose their reason.
“It sounds like B-ji-san would be having a tough time”
“Hmm, tough…? Well, I guess you could say he’d be struggling.”
“Huh? Because of the strong demons, right?”
Sasakura-san is puzzled by my words, which I spilled with a slightly unsatisfied feeling.
It’s true that the demons that run rampant in various places were powerful. They are so powerful that a person who can easily crush a big rock with his bare hands would struggle against them.
That’s why the demons are a real threat to the ordinary people who live around the area.
Therefore, the kind-hearted princess, Yuna-sama, who received the news of these powerful demons, was heartbroken, and decided that the people who can do something about it should move quickly and she would go on an expedition herself to clean up these demons, and of course B-ji accompanied her.
…when I heard the report, I wondered if this was the job of those in the royal family.
I think if they had a job in this situation, it would usually be about taking command of an army and having them fight for them.
Back to B-ji’s demon sweeping expedition story, the demons didn’t really live up to the hype.
“B-ji has been training with Yuna-sama in mock battles for a long time now, and maybe that’s why he can’t tell the difference between a 10 and a 100.”
“Uh…”
It was true that a powerful person who was capable of crushing large rocks struggled, but that was just one person.
The guards guarding the city worked together as a group to repel them, and the country’s army also acted on a company scale to defeat the demons that had gone berserk.
No matter how powerful the demons it was, it was not enough to cope with them.
And for a hero who trains daily with the world’s most powerful princess, who is close to being a powerhouse herself, and is able to endure that training in however way he does it, dealing with them was easier than crushing tofu.
To put it bluntly, excessive force is also a good thing.
They should have noticed it before they left, but I heard that even Yuna-sama was surprised by the lack of challenge.
However, as a royal and a black-hearted woman, she quickly rebooted.
[– Yuna-sama, as expected, said, “It’s not surprising… but this is a good performance for the people. Let’s continue the expedition itself.” Thanks to that, my (hero) fame has also spread and I also get to make some achievements. By the way, we’re on a trip together, but we beat demons all day long, and at the end of the day, she says “My body will have an accent if I don’t this, so let’s train!” I mean, I don’t have an ounce of sexiness in me that have to train every day to maintain it, but what do you think of this? I have no choice, so I’ll just rub it by accident during training, but it should be like — Ugh?!]
I remember B-ji describing the situation in a very tired way.
In the second half, he started complaining and started talking proudly, so I silenced him with a bowel movement bomb.
If anyone pulled out anything unnecessary, the sanction of bowel movement destruction is now a communication between us.
Thanks to this, I’ve gotten used to having a sudden bowel movement.
Even though I’ve gotten used to it, it’s not like I have complete control over the situation whenever it happens, so it’s still hard, but it can’t be helped that we want to brag about ourselves even if we go through such hardships.
It’s not like we’re going to be put in a situation where we’re going to die socially.
“…the princess of another world is amazing.”
“It’s different from the image of a princess in general.”
While recalling what happened at the time of the report, I talked lightly about how Yuna-sama acted and how B-ji was going along with it, which made Sasakura-san smile bitterly and express her impression of her.
Generally speaking, most people think of a princess as a graceful, beautiful ballroom flower.
But although Yuna-sama is certainly beautiful, unfortunately she’s not a champion of the ballroom, rather, she’s a champion of martial arts.
Even so, she is loved by her people for her beautiful looks and her kind heart.
Since that’s the case, then B-ji, the hero who married Yuna-sama, is not so much hated as he is respected for being able to deal with the love of that overpowered princess (hell training).
“But then again, Shinjou-kun and his alter bodies are living a very turbulent life, aren’t they?”
“Really. One of the factors behind that is Sasakura-san, though.”
“Haha, but that’s not a problem, is it?”
Yeah, of course it’s not a problem.
It’s because of that that we’re able to be together like this.
So I nodded and then I thought of something afterwards, so I decided to tell her that.
“By the way. Actually, there’s one thing that’s bugging me”
“Yeah?”
I don’t know if it bothers me, or if I’m worried by it, or if I have some kind of negative feeling about it.
“Well, you know, it’s just that, you call A-ji and B-ji by their first name, but…”
I was embarrassed to say that I felt a little lonely that only I was being called by my family name, and I also had the common sense to think that if she was going to call A-ji and B-ji, she had to call them by their first name to differentiate them, so it was only natural to do so. That’s why I didn’t say it out loud.
However, Sasakura-san, who seemed to have figured out what I wanted to say with just those words, turned to me with a big smile.
“Hmm? So this time Shinjou-kun is the one who got jealous?”
“No… well”
I couldn’t stop myself from feeling a little jealous that my love Sasakura-san would call someone by their first name even if she had no choice, and even if that person is my alter body in the first place.
But that’s a bit selfish, and I hate myself a bit for harboring such thoughts.
The reason why it’s only a bit is because I like it, and I’m open to the idea that I like it.
“I see”
I’m not sure if she knew what was going on in my heart, but she whispered shortly and looked into my eyes.
And then with a mischievous smile,
“But I won’t be calling you by your name for a while.”
She said.
My heart almost stopped, but I remembered my earlier mistake and waited for the continuation of what she was saying, which were probably there.
That prediction was correct, and it seems there was more to come.
“… one day when I have the same last name, I’ll call you by your first name properly.”
Those words said with a slight blush on her cheeks has only one meaning.
Huh… was cardiac arrest an inevitable fate…
Of course, I didn’t actually have a cardiac arrest.
But, well, thinking about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve passed out from happiness, and this time my face was heavily scribbled with a water-based pen.
