Asuka of the Scarlet Sky

Chapter 36

Daily lives of the female heroes (1)

One month passed after the desperate struggle against Risty.

The mansions peace was restored and for some reason, Asukas irritated glare is pointing at me.

*Jiii* Asuka stares at the person in front of her.

The person was carrying the stew in his mouth while smiling.

Asuka began to talk with her mouth trembling.

Why is Captain Risty here?

Hearing that, the brown girl looked at Asuka.

N? No, I have lots of things to teach Yuuto. Umu, this is delicious. Seconds

Yuuto laughs at the situation and Risty held out the bowl to Sasha. Sasha smilingly received the bowl and poured the stew from the pot.

Also, Yuutos wound isnt healed up perfectly. That was my fault so I will nurse him

Ristys smile doesnt hide the goodwill, Yuuto was thinking what to do. Yuuto scratched his cheek, then a vein appeared at Asukas temple.

Y-Youre not needed! Yuuto is already lively! He has already recovered!

Asuka stood up and everyone, inlcuding Sasha looked up to Asuka. The impact of Asukas fist shook the stew in front of them.

Noticing everyones gaze, Asuka blushed, then coughed suddenly.

I-In the first place. Arent you the princess guard? For the guard captain to be in a place like this

Yeah, that ones fine. Its not like Im always next to the princess. Im off duty today. The princess right now is with the vice-captain

Asuka correct herself bashfully, Risty explained as she suck the spoon. Feeling somewhat surprised, Yuuto spoke to Risty.

Eeh, Is that so? I was sure that captain usually stick to her though

Yuuto knows how Risty feels about the princess. Because its Risty, he thought that hed always stay near the princess. Though Risty frequently visits Yuuto, Risty isnt seen away from the capital that much.

Hahaha. I have an excuse for that

Risty looked away from Yuutos question. Asuka also had a question mark on her head while looking at Risty.

At first, assuming my role as the captainIll always stick to her

Yuuto said Oh I see to the sweating Risty. To Yuutos amazement and Asukas glance, Risty moved as if making an excuse.

N-No but. My duty is written as Princess Escort Its written in the appointment letter of the princess. Also, I swore to her that Ill guard her all the time Im just trying to carry out my duty

Yuutos smile crumbled to the rapid talk of Risty. For some reason, Ristys forte is crumbling as she feels like running away. No, well, her forte has crumbled long ago.

What did you do specifically?

Yuuto and Asuka stared at Ristys face. Sasha too had her glance fleeting to Risty.

I-I didnt do anything strange! I just always follow where the princess goes.

So, the specific?

Yuuto doesnt loosen his pursuit, Ristys words are clogged. In addition, his pursuit is getting deeper, Risty finally gave up and opened her mouth.

B-Bath. Or bed?

Thats not all isnt it?

Risty trembled from Yuutos voice. The three peoples gaze are as if theyre looking at a criminal , Risty is trembling.

E-even toilet

Yuuto throws out a sigh after hearing her words. Asuka and Sasha had their eyes look at Risty while saying wow

A-As expected, theres one big guy thats waiting in front of the door!!1

Isnt that obvious!!? Or rather, was there a small person inside?2

What are you doing?, Yuuto scolded Risty. In the first place, it would be embarrassing for the princess even its in the front of the door.

Arent you just a pervert!?

Eeeeeee Im not a pervert!! I-Its loyalty!!

Risty is already teary eyed as Yuuto flared up and complains loudly at her. The captain-sama is too clumsy at love, it seems that shes unexpectedly weak in when in love.

Err. Then? Were you removed as the princess guard?

Asuka timidly raised her hand on the two people making noise. Then, Risty turned her sad face.

Downhearted, she dropped her shoulders.

Thats right. For some reason, one day, the princesss polite expression turned mad. I was removed from the guards daily duty. Since then, Im only entrusted on duties on public ceremony and when shes going out

Uuuuuu, Tears ooze out from Ristys eyes. The princess angry roar still wounds Ristys heart.

Seeing that Risty, Asuka looked the other side. Theres also tears difting in her.

Whats wrong, Asuka-sama?

Dont ask, Yuuto. When you talk about Risty of Dual Sovereignty, I also yearned for her

Seeing the two people cry, Yuuto and Sasha cant do nothing but laugh.

By the way Asuka, its about Yuuto

Asuka stopped her hands that was about to put the after dinner tea to her mouth due to Ristys words. Seeing that, Ristys serious look turned to Asuka.

Yuuto and Sasha went outside the garden to work. This situation, this timing. Asuka already guessed the reason why Risty visited the mansion.

What is Yuuto?

Her pulse gets faster, Asuka faced Risty. Asuka puts down her cup, Risty cuts down to the chase.

Just how much do you know about Yuutos ability? Your weapon is also made from his ability, right?

The two people alone in the room. Asuka listens to Ristys talk. Ristys eyes are investigative, Asuka looked away instinctively. Asuka continue to speak even though her throat is dry.

Then, what would you do? If youre going to do something about Yuuto, even if youre the captain

No, thats not it. Dont worry

Risty raised both her arms in amazement due to Asukas vigilant eyes. Even Asuka noticed that Yuutos ability is rare. But, if it will cause Yuuto to be troubled, Asuka intends to protect Yuuto.

Assuming Asukas feelings, Risty calm tone returned. Risty also likes Yuuto. Asuka regained her breath as Ristys look isnt hostile.

Yuutos ability is amazing. Ive never heard about the ability of making a treasure tool

Eh? Is that so?

Asuka opened her eyes in surprise from Ristys talk. She thought that its rare but she didnt think that much.

Isnt it obvious? Treasure tools are a lifetime work of a craftsman that has the talent. Its such a dimensional stuff thats sweeping an entire lifetime. Furthermore, Yuutos treasure tool, is perhaps the highest in performance among them

Though Risty is talking lightly, theres no lie in her words. For example the pair of swords RIsty has Ruler of Heavenand Ruler of Dayare certainly treasure tools, its an article thats been long in the royalty familys storage, it was bestowed by the princess.

Yuutos ability is to freely create a treasure tool, it already surpass the range of the craftsmen.

Did Asuka notice it too? Sweat flowed in her forehead.

What is Yuuto? Does Asuka know?

Every time Ristys lips move, Asukas mouth cant. For the first time, Asuka became conscious that she doesnt know anything about Yuuto.

T-that. I

She hesitates to speak. Where did he come from? Why does he have such an ability. Asuka bit her lips as Yuutos background is blank.

Risty made a small snort seeing Asukas expression. Its not like shes trying to pry about Yuutos past. Saying sorry, Risty stood up from her seat.

Thanks for the treat. Thats all I wanted to ask today

Ah, Captain

Asuka rose up noisily. Risty looked back and Asuka opened her mouth unconsciously.

Y-Yuuto is. Uhm. H-hes not a bad guy. Thats why

Asuka was surprised at the words that came out from her mouth. Asuka doesnt know why she said those things to Risty.

Risty began to laugh at Asuka.

I know. Even I do love Yuuto after all

Leaving those words, Risty dashed to her room.

Asuka who was left behind scratched her hair as she feels unsatisfied.

I didnt mean it like that though

Fuu. Still, Im tired

Yuuto was lying down on the bed of the room. He left Risty from the garden several hours ago, the mental fatigue is there even though he hadnt done anything.

Asuka-sama, seems to be in bad mood

Fumu, Yuuto recalls Asukas recent behavior. Today too, Asukas mood is bad whenever Risty is here for some reason.

Shes the boss, and they already tried to kill each other. They cant go back that easily. Thinking that, Yuuto sighed.

Somehow, they also did a match

He recalled it. He was happy but that time was also a hellish memory. Both women are important for Yuuto so he wants them to get along.

He hadnt made a progress with Asuka since then but he believes that shes much friendlier than before. Yuuto rolled over his bed as he feels fuzzy.

Yuuto, youre here?

That moment, a knock came from the other side of the door. He saw the moon shining brightly from the window. What could it be, being this late at night, Yuuto got up.

What could it be? Asuka-sama?

Her masters knock and the familiar voice. She paused before replying, Yuuto began to walk from the bed to the door. You can just come in, Yuuto tilted his neck.

I want to discuss something

When Yuutos hand was about to reach the doorknob, Asukas voice was heard from the other side of the door.

Her tone is different from usual, Yuuto direct his face on the door.

*Giii*, the door opened slowly.
