Ore no Osananajimi wa Joshikousei de Yuusha Chapter 52

※ A few hours before.

“Are you Mist-san who used to work in the Isky Manor?”

After Princess Rosé successfully stole Yuuki from her, Mist was called to a stop by a young man in tailcoats. He was someone’s servant, or from how he looks, a butler.

Mist answered and the man nodded.
“A certain personage wants to meet with you. May I ask you to come with me?”

“No”
Mist immediately answered.

“That blunt!?”

I have to chase down a thieving cat whose hobby is to act like a dog here. Whether she’s a dog or a cat aside, if I don’t hurry up she’s going to steal his heart.

“Excuse me”

“Ah, wait. Don’t go!”

“If you left me here there won’t be any meaning of me coming here! My master’s going to be mad at me”

“Why are you so cruel!!”

“Sheesh, what do you want,” Mist sighed.

“W, well if you put it that way. But, look, I’m a cool guy. I’ll be forgiven even if did call you and an incident happened”

“Wait!! Please listen to me! No, you don’t have to listen, just come with me! Please don’t ignore me! Ignoring me hits the hardest!!”

“Ah, that’s right, I have a message. Even though I look good my memory’s bad, huh”
Mist paid him no more attention and began chasing after Yuuki by the currents of the winds

” ‘Shimoyama Yuuki’s life is being targeted. If you want to know more, come immediately’ ”

…. And stopped her feet.

†

Inside the dark establishment, the magic spotlights blinked furiously.

The stage stretching from the back of the place to the center was surrounded by men on a low floor. They looked up toward the stage with sensuous eyes, waiting for the show to begin.

She approached the center stage, fluttering her trailing semi-transparent clothing.

As the lighting illuminated the dancer, the establishment became more and more worked up.

It was Mist.

She performed a provocative dance she learned somewhere, seemingly caressing her own body. Every now and then, she would act as if personally interested in one of the audience — repeating it over several people — captivating the men.

Feelings of revulsion, as if she was being directly touched, and the mysterious excitement that goes counter to that, welled up within her.

In a corner of the establishment, a distance away from the stage, ‘he’ was there.

Yuuki, boiling with anger, his hands balled into fists.

‘Mist’s skin is being seen by other men’

‘Don’t screw with me’

He’s different from the mixed bag of men surrounding Mist.

Yuu-kun, is watching me.

That truth made Mist dance from the bottom of her heart.

—— Mist only belongs to Yuu-kun.

She can no longer stop her own mischievous heart. She showed even more suggestive acts to the men, and for Yuuki behind them, rousing his anger even more.

The scene changed.

“What the hell are you thinking, you ※※※! Don’t you have any shame!!”

She did not understand what his words meant, probably words from his world, but the fact that they held a woman’s dignity in contempt was clearly handed through.

“I’ll make it so that you can’t show your skin in public again —!”

“No, you will do it again. You’re a ※※※ing ＊＊＊ after all … ! I will mark you so that anyone who can see will know that you belong to me!”

While begging, an unexpected pleasure wrapped around Mist.

Yuu-kun, go on and take everything from me.
Carve your name into every bit of me —

“Hey, are you listening?”

“Hauu!?”

She was in a nighttime bar in the west of the castle town. The main customers, of course, were the lustful kind of gentlemen.

It was the stage Mist was dancing on just now.

Mist herself had no experience with an establishment such as this, but she had heard Twys talk a lot about the passions of the night, so she had a faint idea of it.

Since she seriously fell in love with Yuuki, she had become attracted to the idea of exposing her own skin and attracting attention.

Since when did I turn out like this I wonder ….

“Hey, you alright?”

The girl wearing a dancer’s costume.

“I’m fine. Just, thinking about something”

“Perhaps that’s —”

“Influence from the ‘bugs’?”
Kyahaha, she lightly laughed.

“……”

She was frank and outspoken, and seemingly not thinking deeply into something, but somehow she was hiding something deep. Mist once again focused herself and alerted herself against her.

When the strange butler took her here, the woman who was waiting said this.

Her glossy hair was tied with a ribbon. The wavy hair springed every time she moved.

Rather, the fluttering, frilly design only put focus on the covered parts, so she thought.

The girl called herself Phinegar, it was clearly an assumed name.

Which means, she’s Princess Rosé’s cousin.

While being the daughter of nobles, Phinegar was a girl with a hobby of standing on stage as a mesmerizing dancer on the night streets.

“Looks like she did something bad, that Rosé-chan”

“She introduced him to everyone today, didn’t she? Isn’t that like, bad?”

Confirmed Mist. Phinegar laughed out loud.

No, well, in the Isky mansion that woman was rather ‘mischievous’ though —.

… but let’s leave it unsaid.

“Weell, lots of people are going to be annoyed that Princess Rosé recommended Yuuki even though she had lots of replacements for Glenn. So, my job is something like this. I’m quite well-known you know. There’s also ‘papa’ who does slightly dangerous jobs. So just some time ago, I heard a certain noble asking to be introduced to a ‘contractor’ who can deal with Yuuki”

“Now now, let’s not be hasty. … If you want to know, I’d like you to answer my question”
Phinegar put a fruit on top of her tongue and went “mmm” as she mouthed it.

“Honestly, the bugs that was meant for Rosé-chan’s body, really went in her, right?”

That was a ‘state secret’ that could shake the country.

At worst, she might be banished from the royal family and exiled.

“What do you mean by asking that?”

“I want to bully Rosé-chan and get her to buy me new clothes”

“I don’t really remember. I was under the control of a bug at that time, after all”

“Heeh, I see, hmm. … and I thought I had a chance to steal Rosé-chan from Yuuki, too”

—— ……, come again?
