Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!! Chapter 50

“?”

I don’t get what he’s saying .
Seeing my expression, he looked at me in disbelief .
Taking the opportunity, he raised bangs on his left .

“Look at this eye . It’s red . Furthermore, I can’t see with the other eye . Don’t you think it’s disgusting, being the mark of the cursed clan?”
“Even though it’s so pretty? No way”

I laughed off the words Cain said in self-derision .
I fixedly peered into his eyes .
When I drew close enough to feel his breath Cain showed a bewildered expression, but I didn’t care .
His glittering red eye is still beautiful .
Even if he can’t see with one eye, I don’t think it makes him inferior .

“Cain, your eye is pretty . When I saw it for the first time some time ago, I thought that it was pretty like a jewel . I don’t think it’s disgusting”
“Ha…? Pretty? This eye?”

Although I told him honestly, he seems unable to believe it .
He made a face like a pigeon struck with a peashooter .
Once again I affirmed to him who’s making such a face .

“Yup . I’ve also heard of the story of the cursed clan . But seeing it in reality, I can’t think of it like that . Cain, your eye is so sparkling . I like that eye”
“…”

When I gently told him what I think, he hung his head and fell silent .
I tilted my head at Cain who stopped moving .

“Cain?”
“… Yup, wait a moment”
“Eh”

As he hung his head and nodded together with his words, I observed his appearance, and… His ears are red?

“Leave it at that . The stimulus seems too intense for the innocent boy”

When I was about to call out to him again, Delris-san stopped me, with laughter mixed in her words .

“You said you’re Cain . That red eye, you’re from Hiyuma Clan, right?”
“Do you know of them!”

With Delris-san’s few words, Cain’s face turned so severe it’s like he became a different person, and he asked to confirm .
Seeing that reaction, she nodded I see .

“Ah, after all it was that . It’s surprising there’s a survivor . I’ve heard they were completely annihilated 8 years ago”

He shook his head in silence .
He clenched both fists tightly . His hands were trembling .

“… I managed to escape, everyone else died . As the survivor, I inherited the title Lux”
“Hoo? You’re a direct descendant of the clan . I see . Then perhaps, you are Sahaja’s Red Shinigami? After all, I’ve heard he’s still a young man, but I can understand if he’s the next Lux of Hiyuma’s Clan”

Hearing the phrase ‘Red Shinigami’ Cain showed a displeased face for an instant .
How should I put it, ‘Red Shinigami’… what a chuuni name .
I inadvertently laughed in my mind, but the expressions of these two were serious .

“You know surprisingly much about me . I may have been saved by you, but just who are you?”

Once again, Cain looked at Delris-san with vigilance, but Delris-san’s next words seemed to blow it all away .

“I’m a witch . The witch Delris”

When she mischievously informed him, Cain opened his mouth wide for and instant and showed a foolish face . Then, as soon as he understood the meaning of her words, he looked amazed and greatly leaned forward .

“Ha? The witch Delris!? That witch famous for her medicine!”

He gazed at Delris-san with his expression painted with surprise .

“Well, yes, because I wish to avoid being found by fools, I live in hiding like this”
“Eh? But wait, if you’re the real thing, why am I here? Aren’t you famous for misanthropy?”

When Cain pointed that out Delris-san shrugged her shoulders .

“You’ll understand if you think a little . This child brought you here . That’s all”

When Delris-san turned her gaze towards me, Cain followed and fixed his gaze on me .

“Is that so… You’re amazing”
“No, it’s not really like that”

For some reason I objected to what he said with a strangely serious face .
I don’t think Delris-san is really a misanthrope .
After all, she treated me kindly from the first time we met .

Cain looked around and relaxed as if he understood .

“Is that so… This is the medicine witch’s dwelling . It’s no wonder the famous medicine witch would know about me . I’m sorry for distrusting you”

He apologized saying he didn’t think such a being would help him .
Delris-san returned a wry smile .

Of course, I knew Delris-san was a famous witch .
She’s the only witch who can make contraceptive for women, so it’s only natural I contacted her .
But, I didn’t think she was famous enough to be known in other countries .

But, I didn’t think she was famous enough to be known in other countries .

“Delris-san is an amazing person…”

I unconsciously interjected .
I casually dropped by with daifuku, but she seems like a considerable big-shot .

Seemingly unconcerned, Delris-san waved her hand lightly .

“I don’t care about others’ evaluation . I am myself”
“Fufu… you’re right”

I unintentionally giggled at the words typical of Delris-san .
Yup, I like her being like this .

Once again, I turned towards Cain .
I don’t know if he’ll answer, but it doesn’t hurt to ask .

“Hey Cain, you’re from that Hiyuma Clan, right? Is that the red eyed clan from the north?”
“Yeah, that’s right . The clan was driven off and annihilated . I am the only one who escaped”

Cain answered plainly like him shaking earlier was a lie .
However, as the person hearing it, I found it unbearable .

“Annihilated…”

As I said with a gasp, Cain nodded that’s right .

“In order to let the young me escape, everybody died . I ran away south and was picked up by Sahaja’s Assassin’s Guild’s guild master . From then I just single-mindedly lived as an assassin, I spent my days only to return the favor of being saved”
“I see…”

He told me about his life back-to-back, to sum it up in one word it’d be fierce .

Naturally, I can’t impertinently disparage the way he lived as an assassin until now .
Listening to him, I understand it really was the only way he could live .

I am aware of the circumstances of Sahaja .
The disparity of wealth is intense, Sahaja that wages numerous wars has an abnormally great number of orphans .
And because they are too numerous, there’s no institution to care for them .

There are very few occupations they can chose not having parents .
Like working in a brothel, or falling to slavery . There is truly nothing decent .
You could say something dreadful like an assassin is preferable among the few choices .
That’s the reason something as wasteful as Assassin’s Guilds developed in that country .

Sahaja is too harsh for those without power .
It’s a country where might makes right .
It’s unthinkable in our country .

It’s unthinkable in our country .
But, different countries have different common sense .

I thought that I couldn’t condemn him .
I lowered my head slightly . I felt his gaze piercing me .

“Sorry for making you say things you don’t want to say . You ran away from the Assassin’s Guild, right? Yup, Cain, you’re already free . You can go anywhere, you can do anything”
“You…”

As he didn’t expect to hear something like that, his eyes wandered about .
I firmly looked into those eyes and returned a nod .

“You mentioned your father’s last request, right? Will you fulfill it? Good luck”

I told him recalling what he said a while ago .
Next, I faced Delris-san and placed my hands together .
I feel guilty, but I have nobody other than her to rely on .

“I’m sorry . Until he recovers a bit more to the point he can move, could you let him stay here? I’m truly sorry, but I cannot take him home . Of course, I’ll pay the expenses . It may be little, but this is all I have on me…”
“I don’t need that”

When I took a Wilhelm gold coin from my purse and looked at Delris-san, she immediately shook her head .

“Even if you hadn’t asked, I was planning to do that from the start . You couldn’t bring such a troublesome guy back, right?”
“Well, it’s true, but”

Speaking of hopeless people, Delris-san looked at the direction of the desk delightfully .
Her line of sight fell on daifuku .

“I don’t need money . But if you’re bothered by it, could I ask for more daifuku? Especially the strawberry one was a masterpiece”

I hurriedly nodded to her words .

“If it’s fine I’ll bring as much as you like! I will also bring new products! Thank you, Delris-san!”
“I don’t think I’d trade your sweets even for gold”

Suddenly, she stroked my lowered head with her wrinkled hand .
It felt very comfortable .

“… Besides, you didn’t refuse my tea . I’d like to thank for that”
“Eh? What did you say?”

Her voice was so quiet I missed what she said .
I raised my head and asked, but she smiled to gloss over it .

“Nothing . You over there . That’s why, you’ll be staying here until you recover your strength”

Being called out in a sharp voice, Cain flinched, still he tried to refuse .

“No, but any more than that would be a trouble…”

Being called out in a sharp voice, Cain flinched, still he tried to refuse .

“No, but any more than that would be a trouble…”
“Don’t think you have a say in it . It’s this child who saved you . Without asking for a reward this child did what she felt was right, isn’t there something only you can do?”

When Delris-san said that, Cain’s eyes opened wide .
Then he once again bowed his head .

“… Got it . In that case, I’ll accept the offer . I was truly saved . You have my thanks”
“Yeah, that’s enough”

Seeing their exchange, I patted my chest in relief .

When I casually checked my watch, I realized the agreed time was steadily approaching .
Woah, that’s bad .
Angry faces of my escort and Father appeared in my mind .

“I am sorry . I have to go now . I promised to return by evening”

When I hurriedly informed of that, Delris-san nodded .

“Ah, you’re going already . Please take care… You’ll come again, right?”

I nodded strongly .

“Of course! Next I’ll also bring a new product! Cain too, sorry . But, I’m glad your curse was removed . I don’t think we’ll meet again, but I pray your father’s last wish will be fulfilled . Stay healthy!”
“Oi!”

Can tried stopping me in a fluster, but I already started walking up the stairs in a hurry .
Even so, I looked back and once again spoke .

“Delris-san also said you can stay here until you’re healthy . Of course Cain, you can leave whenever you want . Don’t mind me”
“Wait, do not decide on your own… Do you truly want nothing from me”

I shook my head with I don’t at Cain who said that can’t be .

“I already told you I don’t need a reward, didn’t I . If I had to say, I saved Cain . That was the best reward”
“You”

I energetically waved my hand at him who stared here in disbelief .

“See ya”

I unilaterally bid goodbye to Cain who still seemed to have something to say and quickly went up the stairs .
I have to hurry . I really can’t make the person I selfishly asked wait .

When I climbed the stairs and opened the door, I heard Cain’s voice from behind .
Although it was directed at me, I didn’t turn back .

Going by his tone he’ll surely be okay .

Satisfied by his lively voice, I went through the door and hurriedly ran to the meeting place .

“?”.

I don’t get what he’s saying Seeing my expression, he looked at me in disbelief Taking the opportunity, he raised bangs on his left

“Look at this eye . It’s red . Furthermore, I can’t see with the other eye . Don’t you think it’s disgusting, being the mark of the cursed clan?”. “Even though it’s so pretty? No way”.
