Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha Chapter 14

Left alone back in the chapel, Rosé was becoming regretful for the thing she did earlier, even as she was being worried over Yuuki.

She’s been doing strange things today.

Up to this point…. she herself thought it was a clever scheme.

But what the hell was that just now?

Clinging to his feet.
Even if it’s a strategy, just where did she learn degenerate acts like those…?

Was she simple not self-aware that she’s been longing for those kinds of acts all along?

To boot, even though she just met Yuuki today, she feels a happiness she’s never felt before whenever she sees him, like this.

In front of him, she wants to show the ‘her’ that’s not herself… that desire would occupy her mind.

What is this.

Something’s strange.
Something’s—’wrong’.

Well, sure, he’s a good person.
He never hesitated even though he came from another world, he takes care of people, seeing from his relationship with Arina, he’d go along with her plans even though it’s unreasonable for him, and he even possesses advanced education.

So, it’s obvious how she’d feel safe near him.

——…….?

Yeah.

Wrong with it, I guess.

Huh?

What did I think was wrong?

Hmm…..——?

*CRASSH*!

A metallic sound rang from the passage and Rosé’s mind came back to reality.

What happened to Yuuki’s infiltration.

“Yuuki-san….!”

Running out of patience, Rosé ran down the stairs.

Was Yuuki fighting a monster?

As she finally reached the last step, the magic lamps installed on the walls suddenly lit up.

Rosé discovered that the underground passage was much wider than she thought and the stairs she came down on was no more than just one of its exits.

Left or right? She didn’t know which direction Yuuki went, but then Yuuki himself came along from the direction opposite of the residence.
Then behind him came along a young Faith of the Born Light nun.

She looked like she was taking a suspect to the authorities.

“Please wait, Sister! Where are you taking my manservant?”

“Manservant? This man is not a thief?” said the nun, looking surprised by Rosé’s entry.

“I’m Sister Nikka. I’m stationed at this chapel”
They each established their social standings by way of self-introductions, and went back to talking about Yuuki.

“Sister Nikka, did this man steal something?”
“No, but when I asked what he was doing in the underground passage he wouldn’t say anything. I needed to take him for questioning”

He undoubtedly thought it was bad if he blurted something out so he kept silent….
If things stay like this Yuuki will be brought before Marquis Isky and put to trial.

“This man is not one to steal anything. Cease your investigation please”

“He probably lost his way or snuck down here because of dumb curiosity. Is that something worth questioning? That’s right isn’t it, Yuuki?”

“I thought it’s weird that there’s an underground passage here. Actually, what is this place?”
He skillfully turned the question back.

*Haah*, Nikka sighed.
“This is an emergency escape route from Marquis-sama’s residence for the unlikely case it was attacked. It’s normally not used so I used it for my solitary stay”

……I see.
That’s a likely explanation.

“This man destroyed a defense-purpose magical creature, of all things. Unlawful entry and property damage. Plus, this is the basement of a divine chapel”

“Lady Demy, even though you are guests this has gone over the line. If you say he’s your servant the I assume you are willing to take responsibility?”

Rosé was in a predicament.

Destroying property at the residence and defeating a magical creature at the basement of a chapel are crimes with differing degrees.

As it is, if Yuuki was put on trial and was suspected for treason against god nobody can say anything back.

She couldn’t defend him even if she brought the name of the Royal Family. No, if she did that even the Ivan name will take blame.

—to take Yuuki back, there’s no time but now!

“Of course, Sister Nikka”

I’m sorry, Yuuki-san…!

*slap*!

Rosé gave Yuuki’s cheek an open hand slap with all her strength.

The surprise attack made Yuuki’s face wince.

“How dare you embarrass me?”
She said with a cold voice.

She couldn’t see what his face looked like receiving this injustice.

—Was he angry?
She couldn’t read him.

…… my chest feels tight….

Why does she have to treat him, who risked danger for her sake, with such awful treatment.
Rosé felt like she was going to cry.

However, if she doesn’t harden her heart here, he will be thrown to jail.

“I won’t forgive any more recklessness. Do you understand?”

Yuuki did not respond.

Rosé prayed.

Just this time, please play along with me just this time!

“I’m…. very sorry”
Yuuki said so with a sulky voice.

Then,

*grin*, he smiled.

From an angle the nun couldn’t see, he considered Rosé and smiled to her.

The smile carried that meaning.

Rosé’s eyes became more and more moist.

She had better leave this place before her tears burst.

“Sister, I will take responsibility for this man’s retraining. Will that be alright with you?”

“…… Alright. Please make sure this doesn’t happen again. The heavens watch you wherever you are”

She said this and bowed, and took Yuuki, feigning a sulk, out of the basement.
