I Got Caught Hunting Powerful Monsters in Secret Even Though I’m Just a Commoner, Which Led to Beautiful Girls From Noble and Royal Families to Come After Me - 9

Chapter 9: Kanato Loses to Elena for the First Time

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Rine was clinging to me like usual. We were both staring at Elena-sama. Just like my little sister, Elena-sama also possessed exquisite large breasts, almost as big as melons. Those voluptuous marshmallows were being wrapped by a white bath towel. 

Of course, since we were both soaking in the water, the white towel became wet from the water, transforming it into a semi-transparent state. However, Elena-sama, with her fair skin dyed in crimson from the warm water, used one of her hands to discreetly cover her enormous valleys before casting shy glances at us. 

“Elena-sama…. You really don’t have to force yourself.”

I said out of concern for her while averting my gaze away.

“……..This much is nothing if this can help me become stronger!”

However, it was plain to see she was not okay. She was trembling all over. I was in the same state as her too. Logically speaking, it was simply unthinkable for the eldest daughter of a duke to bathe together with a commoner like me. 

In other words, this gesture showed her extraordinary will to become stronger. 

Despite the incredulousness of the situation, Rina kept pressing her soft chest against me. She was staring bashfully at Elena-sama when I opened my eyes and said,

“Umm… Elena-sama.”

“Wha-What is it?”

“Well… Elena-sama, why are you so fixated on getting stronger?”

“Huh?”

“Well… I don’t think normally a noble such as you will want to soak naked with a commoner like us so I was curious why would Elena-sama go this far…. Ah! If you don’t want to talk about it, then it’s okay! You don’t need to tell me anything! I’m sorry for getting carried away…”

I frantically waved my hand, trying to apologize when Elena-sama cast her eyes down. 

“It’s because I have to protect this kingdom. No matter what the price is.”

“…”

Though I couldn’t see her expression clearly, but her voice was enough to tell me how desperate she was. Her voice seemed to linger in my ears, refusing to fade away. 

Protect this kingdom…

She was the one that formed an international alliance and led a campaign to defeat the Demon King’s army. However, despite all of her effort, the royal family was wary of her to the point of shoving her to the Central Magic School out of distrust. 

And as for the reason why she still wanted to protect this kingdom despite the clear hatred shown by the royal family… There were several reasons that I could think of but a commoner like me didn’t have the right to voice it out. 

And so, I could only answer her by staring at her intently. But then, Rina suddenly moved away from me and sat next to Elena-sama instead. 

Elena-sama looked at Rina with wide eyes, surprised. Seeing Elena-sama’s reaction, Rina then said,

“Umm… Elena-sama, you always protect me in school. You are strong and kind. You are perfect, flawless. That’s why… I’ve been working hard so I can become someone like you, Elena-sama…”

“Rina… I’m not perfect. In fact, I’ve lost to your big brother and besides… I don’t have any friends…”

“Elena-sama…”

When Elena-sama smiled bashfully like this, she looked so delicate, like a blooming flower. The ferocity she usually showed during training was like a mirage. Right now, she looked like a gentle, ordinary girl. 

“I…. Now that I’ve seen this side of Elena-sama… I think I’ve come to like Elena-sama even more!”

“Rina…. You… Like me?!”

“Yes! I like you a lot!”

Rina said before she suddenly jumped to hug Elena-sama.

“-!!”

As their bodies pressed close, Rina’s black hair and Elena-sama’s blonde hair intermingled. The four bouncy marshmallows got squished together. The overly large breasts kept changing shape, sometimes getting squished in, sometimes getting squished out. It was truly a spectacular sight to see. 

However, this isn’t the time to be thinking about that. 

“Rina! Get away from Elena-sama right away! A commoner is not allowed to touch the skin of a noble!”

“Huh?”

“I told you! I already explained how a commoner should act around nobles!”

“Ah, that’s right…. Elena-sama, I’m sorry. I’m truly sorry. Ple-Please forgive me…”

With a dejected expression on her face, Rina distanced herself from Elena-sama and bowed her head while apologizing. 

I was breaking out in a cold sweat when suddenly, Elena-sama grabbed Rina’s wrist.

Confused, Rina started shaking. She turned to me, asking for help, however….

“Indeed. Just like what Rina’s brother said, it’s not acceptable for a commoner to touch a noble. Many nobles and royalty look down on commoners, some even make fun of them.”

Elena-sama’s words were right. Even if a commoner were to become a hero who saved the country, they still wouldn’t be able to become nobles.

In other words, nobles and commoners were like water and oil—two existences that could never mix. 

I sighed.

“However, those who look down on others simply because of their status are nothing but a bunch of cowards.”

“Huh?”

“Nobles who make fun of commoners or those they deem beneath them just to feed on their superiority complex just further proves how small-minded they are…. I don’t want to become someone like them. People like them are bound to end up meeting the most disgraceful end.”

Elena-sama seemed to capture me with her crystal blue eyes. She had gone to the battlefield, killed many enemies and even fought against the Demon King’s army with so many people under her leadership. 

In other words, she wasn’t just speaking lightly. She truly meant those words. 

And so, I nodded silently. 

“E-Elena-sama…?”

Rina, who had her wrist grabbed by Elena-sama, called out to Elena-sama. 

“Fufu~ Rina, it’s okay to touch me. I hope you can think of me as a friend. Although… I’ve never had any friends before, so I don’t really know what being a friend is like…”

The two of them had their face casted down with their eyes closed shut. The towels wrapped around their bodies have come off, floating on the surface of the water.

Of course, the sight of their naked bodies with nothing covering them naturally entered my eyes.

And of course, the secret spot hidden in the middle of their ass also…

“Aaaaahhhh…”

This is bad… I can’t.

I didn’t know what to do. I just froze in place with panic running through my mind when suddenly, Elena-sama opened her eyes wide. 

“Wha-What are you looking at!?!?!?!”

I received a kick from Elena-sama. 

Today, for the first time ever, I lost to her.

Elena Side

After seeing Kanato and Rina off, Elena headed to her father’s office. She was already wearing her nightgown.

“Elena.”

“Father…”

“Those two have gone home already?”

“Yes.”

“I see. By the way, what’s wrong with your face?”

“My face?”

“Yeah. Your face is redder than usual.”

“-!! It’s nothing!! Nothing happened!!”

“…..I see? Anyway, it seems you’ve become closer to the two of them, huh?”

“….I-It seems I’ve become friends with Rina.”

“That’s good to hear.”

“Ye-Yes…”

Elena’s cheek loosened and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile. Seeing her daughter’s adorable reaction, Keltz smiled. But soon, he tightened his smile and adopted a serious expression again.

“Your meeting with Kanato-kun must’ve been a divine guidance. I hope you can form a strong bond with him as well.”

“Yes. By the way, there’s something I wish to say.”

“What is it?”

“Rina’s brother is the strongest person in this kingdom… No, I believe his strength is unparalleled even compared to the neighboring kingdoms. He should immediately receive a suitable title to further strengthen this kingdom.”

“Yeah. In other kingdoms, anyone who’s able to wield magic can become a noble without exception.”

“Indeed… But here…”

“They can’t. Even the lowest-ranking title, a knight, hasn’t been awarded to a commoner for a hundred years. Even though the title of a knight can only last for a single generation.”

“In other words….”

“This kingdom is an extremely precarious situation. Years of grudges accumulated by the people are powerful enough to destroy the whole country.”

“…”

Keltz stared at Elena with a serious expression on his face. His tone conveyed his desperation, as if he could predict the events that would unfold in the future.
