[I’m Her Accessory]

“Finn! How many times have I told you that’s not the way to swing a sword! Why can’t you do such an easy thing?”

While swinging my sword outside the inn, an angry voice sounded from behind.

The voice came from Alfine, my childhood friend and also my girlfriend.

Jet black eyes that captivate the viewer, smooth skin that seems to tempt man, and the lips ーthat let out a pleasant voice to the earsーthat tinged with seductive glow.

Lithe bodyーwhich was was trained by sword techniqueー, plump chest and glossy black hair extending to her waist.

Alfine, a peerless beauty who would make 10 out of 10 men have a lewd look on their face when they looked at her.

Moreover she is titled as one of the only three Sword Master in the world for her remarkable ability as a swordsman, then she was appointed as the kingdom’s knight and conferred nobility.

The Flawless Sword Goddess ― that was the evaluation from the general public that was given to Alfine.

However, that is the evaluation of strangers that only knows Alfine’s outside appearance.

As childhood friend and lover, to me, that is only the guise of Alfine to feign friendliness externally.

The real her is far from the beauty of her appearance, a troublesome and selfish woman with poor personality and self centered thought.

“Alfine… I told you I couldn’t understand the way you instructed.”

“It’s Finn’s bad habits to question my instructions, even though I seriously trying to make you understand!? Do you understand your own position?”

I am an adventurer.

Of course, Alfine too.

Born and raised as childhood friend in the same village, after going to the city together and becoming adventurer together, we formed a party and adventuring together, and are also lovers now.

However, whatever I do, I’m no match for Alfine, no matter how many times I tried, it only ends up with me being looked down upon and hurled with abusive words by her.

It was painful, but I managed to hold it in until now.

She spit out whatever she wants to say, and if I keep a low profile and apologize, she will immediately feel good, and she will be in a good mood as if nothing ever happened.

Even so, I still have a recollection of when we were still kids and when we just became adventurer, her tone was somewhat gentle then.

But, because she received the title of Sword Master and the status of a nobility, her stress is increasing, and lately she has been hurling abuses at me to relieve her stress three times a day, and if she doesn’t vent her frustration, she will bite her nails.

I repeatedly warned her not to bite her nails, but each time she replied “Finn doesn’t have the position to give a comment about me”, and she will become more sullen.

“A useless guy who can’t do anything well”, “It’s embarrassing to be always together with Finn since childhood”, “But, I’m giving you my favor, so be grateful and absolutely be obedient to me, okay”.

Thrown such words everyday, I realized that I was losing confidence as an adventurer, as a man, and as a person.

Unknowingly I lived every day as a slave of Alfine.

A lover-cum-caretaker who takes care of her mood and daily life.

That’s what I am now.

“I know. I’m Alfine’s boyfriend and partner at the same time.”

Immediately, I saw a sneer rose on Alfine’s face.
