Chapter 16 – Visitor

「Giii!」

Fuu, with this, the goblin settlement is done with. In total, there were around 50 of them? The hob goblin leader was here too, since I defeated him as well, this area should be safe now.

「Guu」

When I was looking over the mess of goblin corpses, Ropo slowly walked out from the forest. …..This guy, the moment Mistrea-san brought us over, it ran into the forest, it was probably eating gra.s.s or something.

「Ropo, I’m going to strip the goblins for materials, so in the meantime, keep watch over our surroundings.」

「Guu Guu」

After I confirm Ropo is watching over our surroundings, I squat near the goblins. Then, I cut off the goblins ears, after doing this for 2 years, I’ve gotten used to it.

Silently, I cut off the goblins ears for 1 hour.

「Ooh, you’re at it.」

Mistrea-san came to pick us up, Once Ropo realized that Mistrea-san was here, it abandoned its lookout job and ran towards her. Well, I guess since Mistrea-san is here, there shouldn’t be any danger.

「There, there. Did you work hard too Ropo?」

「Guu guu」

You liar! You just went into the forest to eat gra.s.s didn’t you! I didn’t see you so I can’t be sure, but that’s definitely what you were doing!

「Are you done too, Redius? Let’s go back home and eat dinner. Helen made dinner tonight.」

While I was trying to intimidate Ropo, Mistrea-san asked me. Today's Helen-san’s turn huh. Both of them are really good at cooking, so I look forward to dinner daily.

When I finish dissecting the bodies, Mistrea-san grilled them, and then we return home. This is my daily routine.

In the morning, I play tag on the mountains with Ropo, until noon I train in kenjutsu or spar with Mistrea-san or Helen-san. After noon, Mistrea-san sends me somewhere, like to a mountain, forest, or a cave, and then has me subjugate the magic beasts in the area.

The strongest one I’ve fought thus far was a twin headed snake. It was about 10 meters long, and it had 2 heads. It moved fast, and its scales seemed to be coated in something, since I had trouble cutting at it with any style, it can even spit out venom.

In the end, I was able to subjugate it, but, its fang was able to graze me. It’s venom almost killed me, if it wasn’t a delayed type of venom, I would have probably died there.

After that, Mistrea-san and Helen-san harshly scolded me. It’s normal to run away from something you can’t beat after all.

It was really my bad there, so I apologized as much as I could. After that, for 1 month, all the household ch.o.r.es were my duty.

With that as my daily life, It’s already been 3 years since I started learning under Mistrea-san.

Over these 3 years, I’ve learned foundations of cloaking, I’ve also gotten the Fierce Flame Style to intermediate, Whirlwind Style to advanced rank, and Bright Water Current Style to lower rank as well.

Even Mistrea-san and Helen-san were surprised at that. Apparently, I’m adept at moving around my body. I didn’t really understand much from self training but, I was told that it was too early to learn martial arts like that.

Helen-san knew that I achieved advanced rank in Whirlwind Style in these last 3 years, so, despite sulking while pouting her cheeks, she still acknowledged me.

When I first started learning the sword, the atmosphere was kind of awkward, but, by the time I achieved low rank in all 3 styles 1 year later, she already treated me nicely, just like how she did before I started learning.

But, lately it’s been a little weird. Every time she looked at my face, she would abruptly look away, she seemed kind of distant lately as well, she's not mad though….

Well, I also sometimes look at her too, so I understand her embarra.s.sment. 3 years ago, Helen-san was already a beautiful girl, but lately, she’s more like a beautiful woman. (Give me back my loli!)

Her body has become more woman like, her b.r.e.a.s.t.s are so full they almost flow out of her clothing, she has a slender waist and a.s.s has a nice shape, and her muscles are flexible yet defined. Every time that Helen-san smiles at me, my face can’t help but get red. (take that back, I'm ok with this too)

On top of that, since I live with her, she’s kind of defenseless. Since we’re in an area that doesn’t really get cold, you have to wear light clothing, but Helen-san normally wears just a tank top and shorts, which is kind of dangerous for me.

Even worse, she sometimes decides to take afternoon naps, but instead of doing it in her own room, she does it right on the living room sofa. Taking quick peeks at her barely visible navel……Wait, what the h.e.l.l am I thinking about?!

I pound at my head to make myself forget about it. Uwaah, I wonder what this feeling is, I’ve never really interacted with any girls other than Elder Sister and Mia, so I’m not really sure.

While thinking about those things, before I knew it, we already got back home. I want to head to the living room to see if I can help Helen-san with anything, or so I thought but, something is off.

Right now, Mistrea-san and I are in the backyard, but, from the entrance we can hear angry yelling. This voice is….Helen-sans? But, why does she sound so angry? I look over at Mistrea-san.

「Let’s go see.」

I head to the entrance with Mistrea-san.

「Like I said, Obaba-sama is out right now! On top of that, just because she isn’t here, you think you can stay inside to wait without even naming yourself? Don’t you think you’re a little too shameless?!」

「What did you say, you b.i.t.c.h! Raven-sama decided to personally visit, and you aren’t even bowing your head?!」

Somehow, this is an explosive situation… Helen-san has her hand positioned right on her sword so that she’ll be able to draw it when necessary, her opponents are 2 soldier looking people, and standing behind those two is a young man with beautiful looking armor.

「Will you both quit it! What that young lady is saying is correct. We came here to request something.」

「Still, Raven-sama! The Albast Kingdoms commander in chief himself decided to come personally to pay a visit, but this girl doesn’t even want to let us wait in the house, instead telling us to wait outside! It won’t do if we teach her a lesson!」

Albast Kingdoms commander in chief? Why did such a high ranking person come to a place like this? If I’m not mistaken, the commander in chief is the top ranking person in their army… I look over at Mistrea-san….c.r.a.p, she’s p.i.s.sed.

I can’t stop Mistrea-san when she’s like this.

「What are you doing in someone else’s home?」

We head towards Helen-san. It can’t be helped, I’ll accompany them in this, let’s just hope nothing drastic happens.
