For I Am A Side Character - Zetro Translation

The next morning…

I found myself completely naked in a bed I wasn’t really much familiar with, and with only the bed sheets covering my lower half. By my side, I could see Jessica resting on my arm, as she cuddled like an innocent animal…but last night…she wasn’t so innocent as one would imagine.

We did it four times…

Four…thankfully because of our enhanced endurance as a hunter, we were able to pursue our lust for each other….

But for each time, we did it for an hour each…

I can still remember how savage she was…I couldn’t really help but try to sync in with her pace. And I could still feel some scratch marks on my body…man, her nails are sharp like daggers and I’m not making this up.

For a girl like her, you wouldn’t think that she was that crazy in bed…but it might have something to do with the [Mix-up Theory].

Because I remembered how well it went at first but as we moved on for the third round, it got extremely competitive…it reminded me of how we would usually react when our spars would move past the warm-up stage. It was wild, fun and never a dull moment.

…and oh boy…

She really moans a lot…

Just thinking what would happen if we leave this resort makes me embarrassed as I am now… I can’t help but think of what kind of glances would be made our way the moment we leave this hotel.

But in the end…we did it.

We’re not just lovers in the figurative since, but in a more physical way now.

And I don’t think I have an excuse to her father if we ever do meet up with them today.

“…God, I think we really rush this part huh.” I said to myself as I stared at the ceiling while Jessica was still asleep on my arm.

As I continued to rest in bed, soon enough, Jessica also woke up.

“…Hnn~?” with how cute she was looking my way…with how flushed her cheeks were and how mature her gaze was as she looked my way…I can’t help but think that she really did climb the ladder of adulthood and so did I.

“Good morning.” I said as I petted her silky blue hair.

”…morning.” from her greetings back, she then moved up a bit and rested her head on my chest. And from there, she gave me an embrace that was slightly more tight than usual.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“…I’m fine…no, maybe yet, I feel great.” she said as then spread her legs to go over my body and from there…she pushed herself off to a point where she was now riding on top of me like in the position we did last night.

“…?” I was a bit skeptical of her move, but seeing as how playful her smile was…I couldn’t help but grin in this moment.

“…you were really great last night.” she said as she had this soft gaze placed on me. And from there, she placed her fingers on my bare chest and she started sliding her them up to my face until she touched my lips.

“Do you wanna go for another round?” I asked.

But in response, she simply shook her head.

“No thanks…although it would have been a nice offer, I’m really scared of whats waiting for us once we leave this resort.” she said as she too understood the situation.

“Okay, lets go and take a shower then.” I said.

“…are you willing to invite me in?” she asked.

“Of course.” I said.

And without hesitation, I stood up from the bed and carried her with me to the bathroom in a princess style.

…from there, we didn’t really have to take anything off…we simply just turned on the warm shower and simply embraced the water running down our bodies.

“Hmm? Oh shoot…there’s a hickey on your neck.” I said as I noticed a red mark on her neck.

“…Really?” she asked as she touched her neck. From there, she could feel a few small bite marks…and touching them, I could remember how it happened.

“…” I couldn’t help but get hard in the thought of that memory.

“…oh my.” she said as she too noticed it. From there, she felt like she was being invited in again, but I stopped her.

“Lets not do it…I really don’t want to waste another hour in the shower.” I said.

“O-okay…” hearing my intentions…she held herself back and instead moved her hands around my neck. From here, we were eye to eye as the shower continued to pour down on us.

And without hesitation, she kissed me as we were…

And out nowhere, as she pulled away from our kiss…she told me things that made me listen to every word.

“I hope you won’t cheat on me in the future…”

“…Of course I won’t.” I said.

“Good, because if you did, I’ll hunt you down and cut your dong off.” she said with a playful smile.

And in return, I couldn’t but sweat nervously in the shower.

‘…wow, she’s starting to look really dangerous.’ I thought as she was starting to remind me of a certain aspect that comes from dangerous people. She was becoming somewhat obsessive and from it, I could only think of a Yandere as one of these traits being revealed. It wasn’t bad…instead, it made me somewhat excited.

***

After we left the resort, we made our way back to the original resort we were supposed to live in but as we did, from the distance, I could see a cluster of people gathered at one spot.

“Huh, is there something going on over there?” I asked.

“Lets go see.” said Jessica as she pulled me and we ran to where the crowd was gathered.

When we made it there…we noticed that the crowd was looking at a certain direction. And from what we saw, we too were just as surprised.

“Wha- it can’t be.”

“No way…”

In front of us was the sight of a corpse of a monster lying by the side of the shore on the beach.

It was a monster called a [Fishken] a sea monster that resembled a syren-like creature from mythology whose ability is that of luring in sea men. With bipedal legs that were covered in bluish scales and a mouth that was filled with puss and sharp teeth, this was a class C monster that could well be a danger to anyone who attempts to swim in the waters today.

As I was observing the corpse…I was suddenly called out by a familiar voice.

“There you guys are, where have you been?” asked Eric as he came running up to us in a nervous sweat.

“What’s going on Eric? Why is there a monster corpse here on the island?” I asked.

“Oh, umm…its somewhat a private matter so please follow me. I’ll tell you guys on the way.” he said.

“Okay.”

As we followed him, he kept glancing at us nervously…thinking that he might have known something about last night, Jessica was very nervous to talk about it…

So I had to lead the conversation.

“Can you tell us what happened?” I asked again.

“Ah…right. The monster washed up at the shore around five in the morning. Some people were already wondering the beach at that time, so we couldn’t hide the body from the public.”

“Why would you?” I asked.

“It brings a bad image to the island and the resort…if possible, we should have hidden it well, but I guess its too late for that.”

“Has this happened before?” I asked.

“No, this is new…we already contacted the hunter’s association and they are sending in a few hunters to investigate the situation.” he said as he looked worried.

“There’s only two possible reasons why a monster would be washed up at the shore…either they came from the depths of the ocean or…they came from a dungeon.” said Jessica.

“That might be possible.” said Eric.

“Is there a cave near this island?” I asked.

“Hmm, yes…there are about two caves. One is in the deep ocean and one just about on the other side of the island.”

“Then those two locations are our best bet in finding the source of that monster corpse.” I said.

“Why is that?” asked Eric.

“Dungeons usually have a higher chance of appearing in natural caves. If there’s a cave nearby, chances are, it’s a dungeon. And in this case…its probably a newly developed dungeon.” I said.

“Hmm, I see.”

“Well, since it’s probably C-rank dungeon at best, don’t you think it would be nice to have a look at it before the hunters arrive? It would be great if we discovered that this dungeon actually has a cluster of new discoveries or maybe yet it’s a gold mine?” asked Jessica.

“Hmm, we do own 30 percent of the island. And one of those cave I spoke about is under our territory. Most likely, the dungeon is already under the name of the Young house. So practically, we own the dungeon if its in that said location.” said Eric.

“Great, we’ll get our equipment and make our way there.” said Jessica.

“No, not yet.”

“What? Why?” she asked.

“Dad is looking for you two…” he said.

“O-okay.” as Jessica nodded, we made our way to the resort.

As we made our way there, we were both nervous of what was to come.

At the least…we probably might get scolded.

Anyway, we readied ourselves to face this together.

The moment we walked in to their living room, there, we found that he was casually looking into a few papers while he was sitting at a desk. It seemed like he was now working in this moment.

“D-dad? You called for us?” asked Jessica nervously.

“Yes…yes I did.” he said as he dropped all of his work and looked to us with a rather business-like manner.

“…”

“Its seems that a monster was found in the sandy shores…dead.”

“Y-yeah, we saw it too.”

“Good, since this is a perfect opportunity as any. There’s something I have to tell you Soril.”

“Yes?”

“In my life as a business man, as a merchant that simply goes beyond merchandise, I always follow my gut when an opportunity arises.”

“An opportunity?” I asked.

“Yes, indeed. Just like how hunters have the instinct to dodge from danger, businessmen have the instinct to follow fortune in its chances. So right now, I am feeling something from this situation. A feeling where it reminded me of my young days as an entrepreneur.”

“…”

“There’s something in that dungeon, and its filled with riches that go beyond simple opportunities…So I called off the help from the hunter’s association.”

““What?!”” both me and Jessica were a bit shocked by this.

“I’m handling this investigation to you two. So be grateful Soril, this is the perfect chance for you to prove yourself to the family.” he said.

“…so you want us to take charge of this incident?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“Okay…”

“Oh and Jessica, can you leave us two men alone please? I have something I want to discuss with the boy.” asked her father.

“O-okay..” Jessica then left, leaving me alone with her father.

“…”

As we were both in the silence of the elephant in the room, he finally spoke with a bit of a spiteful tone.

“I know what you two did last night. I’m not blind to it…”

“Oh…”

“And I’m not deaf either because I’ve heard murmurs about it from the owner of the resort you guys went into.”

“…” feeling a bit embarrassed, I looked away.

“Don’t be ashamed Soril, you’re a man and I know well enough from looking at you two, that you’re both in love with each other…so its natural that you would be swept off in the tides of well…lust.” he said.

“O-okay…”

“Believe me, I know. I’m in love as well…its embarrassing when the father-in-law finds out about it, but you’ll get through it. After all, I gave you my permission…it wasn’t wrong…and from what I heard, you two had a great time with one another.”

“…ah…”

“Oh and don’t get me wrong, I am furious…like furious to a point where I want to rip your skin off your face…but I can’t do anything. Because if I did, Jessica well get mad and she won’t ever talk to me again…and that’s not worth the fact that I want to rip your face off.” he said nonchalantly.

“…”

“Okay then, since I’ve said everything that I wanted to say…oh wait, I have to ask, but is your skin tough enough to stop a bullet?” he asked.

“…P-probably.” I said.

“Okay, well then. Since I can’t rip your face off, this will do well to probably quench my anger for the first half of the month.” without hesitation, Oliver grabs a pistol from under his desk and pointed it at my chest.

“I know it’ll hurt, but…well, you slept with my daughter. So…”

*Bang!*

And without holding back, he fired a gun at my chest. And he even targeted my heart.

But luckily, the bullet didn’t pierced through. It just left a scrape of a wound.

But as soon as he fired, Jessica burst through the door with a knife on hand.

“What’s going on?!” she asked in fury.

“I-I’m okay.” I said as I rub the rash of the bullet wound.

But seeing as how she saw that her dad was holding a gun, she looked pretty mad.

“What the hell dad?!”

“Now now, its okay. Your boyfriend just got the information he needed for the raid.” he said as he threw the gun out of the window.

“Why did you shoot him?!” asked Jessica.

“It was a spiteful passage of having this boy be apart of the family. And also this makes it the Guild’s first ever raid. I already have the paperwork done, all we need now is a name for the Guild.” he said.

“Wait, what are you saying?” asked Jessica.

“Well, as of now the guild is finally made. And I named it after our family; the [Young Merchant Guild]. making this our very first raid on a dungeon.” he said proudly.

“Are you serious?!”

“Yeah, I was supposed to announce it over at breakfast, but since you guys weren’t there, I couldn’t do it.” he said.

”…oh my god–” Jessica was a bit taken aback.

“Now then, you guys get going. Soril, I already put in that you’re a part of this guild, so you better make this raid successful. With Jessica as the Leader of the Guild and you being its Vice Leader, I’m sure you two can build a nice reputation for this guild over the long run. So have fun you two.” he said with a calm smile.

Jessica couldn’t help but remain silent as he was simply taken aback by it all.

And with nothing to say, She simply walked out of the room while she was pulling me out as well.

With how many information was pushed to us in just a single morning, we both couldn’t help but have many complex emotions about it.

But it was clear what just happened.

Oliver somewhat accepted our relationship to a degree and Jessica finally now owns a guild under her name.

Both of us were in a lot of pressure.
