Chapter 122 Heart Pounding Vacation ??

Part 2

Without hesitation, her finger went to her back ?? Touched the hook of her black underwear that still remained and stopped.

It was a bit late, but I hurriedly warned her.

“…… Liz, it’s improper.”

“…… Eeeeh, come on. It’s only Cry-chan and me, no?”

What kind of relationship do we have? Certainly I know Liz very well, to the point that I want to say that she was too unreserved with me.

If you want to wash off the blood on you, you can leave it on you. I didn’t come here to see Liz striptease.

As I was wondering how to stop her, Liz suddenly turned her face towards me and smiled.

“But…… I think I will refrain today. It’s a little embarrassing to take it off while being watched, and it is an adventure we are having in awhile.”

She shyly, but at the same time with a somewhat charming expression, moved her hands up, untied her hair, and her pink-blonde hair hid her back.

Before I could say anything, she dove into the water.

Apparently the water wasn’t that deep, Liz spun around while the water was submerging her up to just below her chest.

“Cry-chan too, come join me?”

“…… No, I have to get some water……”

“I see…… Too bad…… I’ll get some fish then!”

Liz vigorously dove into the water. Her legs, which even at a time like this, still had her ?Rise to Heaven? on her, draw a parabola in the air.

…… I guess Liz was a little more mature than when we were little.

While having an indescribable feeling, I dipped the water bottle I had received from Sytry into the water.

§

I had a lifelong debt to pay.

Weakness is a sin for a Hunter who works in a Party, one person mistake can lead to everyone’s life or death. But Liz and the others never made me feel that way. And after I stopped adventuring with them, they never seriously questioned me about it.

This was the reason why I can still remember the events we had as barely fun incidents. Even the seemingly uncaring Liz was thinking about me.

“After all, it’s fun when we are with Cry-chan…… I’m glad I came……”

I sat down by the riverside and combed Liz’s lush hair that had absorbed water with my hands. The wet hair I was touching with my right hand had a strange weight, but her hair was so smooth that you wouldn’t believe that she had fierce fights on a daily basis. Whenever my finger touched her scalp, Liz’s body, which was soaked in water up to her stomach, trembled a little.

“Un, it’s fine. There isn’t any stain. The blood seems to have come off.”

“Thank you. If there was a strange smell, I may make a mistake in case of an emergency……”

She said in a very relaxed and sweet voice.

I have accomplished my goal, but it feels like a shame to go back immediately. I am not Liz’ boyfriend or something more, but ?? Liz didn’t say that we should head back, and it is good to do things like this sometimes.

The silence wasn’t hard to bear. A nature that had been untouched for such a long time is so beautiful that you will never get tired of looking at it.

As we were both looking at the water, Liz suddenly said in a serious voice.

“Cry-chan………… You know, I will become a stronger Hunter.”

“………… Aaah, I know.”

I think you are already a strong enough Hunter, but there was a strong determination behind her words.

Strong, not self-conceited, never neglecting to study, and beautiful.

Liz is feared in the Imperial Capital, but at the same time, she had many fans. Within her, there is something outstanding, something that can win people hearts and minds.

When I stood up, Liz looked back at me. Her black lace underwear, which hid her chest and lower body at a minimum, was exposed in front of me.

I couldn’t help but look at it, but Liz smiled without saying anything about it.

“Let’s go back. Thank you, Cry-chan. It’s been a while since we’ve been alone together…… It was really fun.”

Occasionally, Liz wants a peaceful moment.

Maybe, she was trying to regain something that was lost when she became a Hunter.

“Will you, come with me again?”

Of course.

I have a lifelong debt to pay. I was definitely one of the reasons why Liz and the others had to rush to become so strong. Had I been as talented as they were, they would have been more stronger and more ?Rightful?.

But, my lifelong debt wasn’t the only reason why I wanted to be with them.

Weeell, rather than me going with them, this time it was Liz and the others who came with me, but that’s not the right time to say it.

Just as I was about to reply to an embarrassed Liz with my usual smile, her expression that had been sparkling in front of me, clouded over.

She grumpily frowned and said in an accusing tone.

“Cry-chan………… You know, I had to gather all my courage to ask you out. It was a nice atmosphere, right? No matter what…… Isn’t this too mean?”

“…… Eh?”

Even though there was no wind, out of nowhere, I heard the eerie sound of trees and leaves rustling and scraping against each other. I quickly checked the surroundings, but there was no sign of any Monsters.

“Sure, I was wondering about it. Why would a bunch of Trolls, which normally live deep in the forest, showed up in such a large number at a place like this?”

Liz grabbed her hair and squeezed the water out.

“Why there weren’t any Monsters near the riverside. Why it was so quiet. I did think about it.”

She attached her gauntlet on her still wet body and put on her clothes and pants.

“But you know, isn’t this timing too mean? Neee, I know Cry-chan’s method, but isn’t this way too mean?”

I can hear the sound of something crawling through the gaps between the trees. The sound was getting closer and closer.

It’s something big. I know because of my experience. At a time like this, at a timing like this, what always appears is a troublesome Monster.

What’s going to happen? As I stood there in confusion, Liz said with a sullen look on her face.

“Definitely… You will definitely make it up to me.”
