Chapter 40 – Being Gently Embraced by Your Strong Arms—I See, so This Must Be Heaven
I fought for three days and three nights. I didn’t sleep a wink.
It was as if all the ogres in the Ogres’ Great Forest had attacked us.
It may have been the last order of the defeated Ogre King.
No matter how much he lost command and control, those ogres are also strong monsters who have trained under the King in a way that makes them seem like demons.
It is possible to defeat them one by one, but it is very difficult to deal with them all together.
To make matters worse, we had only prepared normal equipment, as we had only anticipated a few ogres as opponents.
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have brought a 20-meter-long greatsword…
“…Am I…alive…?”
Yuzuriha-san, who had collapsed after defeating the last ogre and had fainted like a broken string, woke up and that was the first thing she said.
Seeing me hugging her, Yuzuriha-san blinked her eyes over and over again,
“I guess not. Being gently embraced by your strong arms—I see, so this must be heaven. Or perhaps it’s the flashback before dying.”
“It’s real. I’m sorry, I had to take off Yuzuriha-san’s clothes and hug her in order to channel the magic treatment.”
“No need to play it off. I, who had been lonely all this time, will now sleep in my partner’s arms at the end—Fulfilling such a happy way of dying, like a dream, even if it’s just a flashback.”
“This is really reality.”
“It’s alright, I don’t need that kind of consolation. I mean it from the bottom of my heart. But if there is one thing I would like to add, it would be—”
“U-Ugghh!?”
“Fufu, this is it—I’ve always wanted to embrace my partner’s face in between my b*****s, even just once. And to let you know that I, who am by your side, am actually a mature woman who desperately wants to have children with you, my partner.”
“Um, Yuzuriha-san…?”
“The wedding will be before the gods, and once we have children, we’ll teach them the sword together as a couple. In the garden of our new home, there will be cherry blossoms planted all over, and even when we’re old, we’ll sit on the porch together every year to admire the cherry blossoms. And then, and then—Zzz…”
After saying that much, Yuzuriha-san fell asleep again.
After all, she had to fight for three days without sleeping a wink.
My amateur healing magic seems to have worked, so I’d better let her have a good night’s sleep.
“…Still, You seemed awfully excited, Yuzuriha-san…”
Perhaps it was due to the effects of being in a state of constant excitement from fighting for three days and nights straight. Or maybe it was because my amateur healing magic is still immature?
Not only did Yuzuriha-san just call me her partner, but she also held me tightly in the valley of her overly ample b*****s and spoke of love to me as if in a dream.
It might also be what’s called the ‘suspension bridge effect’ that I’ve heard from Suzuha.
If I’m not mistaken, it’s said that when you’re dying or something, the opposite s*x in your immediate vicinity seems to be more attractive.
“…She’ll forget when she wakes up, won’t she…?”
After all, even though she was in a haze of consciousness, the fact remains that Yuzuriha-san, who is a direct descendant of a duke and is a national hero, spoke to me in a loving manner, a plain and ordinary commoner.
If she were to wake up with her memories intact, she would surely be plagued with intense regret.
I could end up being killed to keep my mouth shut.
“Well, since it’s Yuzuriha-san, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about… But I definitely can’t afford to pretend not to know anything…”
Whatever, I’ll just let it go…
“More importantly, I need to treat both Suzuha and the Amazon twins. They shouldn’t die immediately, but they won’t survive until we return to the fortress at this rate…”
Afterwards, Suzuha and the others seemed to have the same delusion or hallucination as Yuzuriha-san, and I had the most unusual experience of having my head crushed between the cleavage of my sister and the men-hating Amazons while they talked about their love.
Incidentally…
When Yuzuriha-san woke up, she seemed to remember everything vividly, and she kept blushing or turning pale whenever she looked at me.
Needless to say, I maintained the attitude that I knew nothing and had not heard anything.
