I Was Sent to an All-Female Frontline Unit to Get Rid of Some of the Trouble, but the Most Beautiful Girls Who Are Rumored to Hate Men Love Me So Much That I Have a Hard Time at Night

Chapter 42: Consultation (2)

“No-Norn-san…!?”

I was so lost in thought that I didn’t notice her presence at all.

“Yeah. That’s right. Since we will be living together from now on, I want to be able to recognize even the feel of my breasts.”

“Eh…!?”

“Just kidding, just kidding. There’s no way I can feel your breasts clearly through the bath towel.”

As she said that, Norn stopped hugging me.

…Talking so directly about a woman’s breasts made me embarrassed.

I looked away from Norn behind me and faced forward.

But when Norn disappeared from my sight,

I immediately remembered that feeling of despair and grew dark inside. I opened my mouth and asked with that feeling.

“Um… I think dinner is still going on, but why are you here, Norn-san?”

“Well, if Finn-kun has such a heavy look on his face, I, as your older sister, can’t just leave you alone. Also, we had planned to talk tonight… It was supposed to be in your room originally, but honestly, as long as it’s just the two of us, anywhere is fine with me.”

“…”

Norn’s words and atmosphere are hard to read sometimes.

But she really is a very kind person.

Even now, she’s worrying about me like this.

…But.

“Why… why are you so kind to me, Norn-san?”

“Why? Because you are you, Finn-kun.”

Because I am… me…

Yes.

Because I am… a commoner…

I probably shouldn’t be with all of you.

For the good of this country… it might be better if I died…

—If Finn-kun cares about me and everyone, don’t ever say such words!

“…!”

At that moment, the words Elena said to me before flashed through my mind.

Those words… are things I must never say if I care about everyone.

Because if I say them, I lose respect for my own life.

If that was the reason, I think I would have kept saying those words in my heart until the end.

But… I can’t betray my feelings of caring about everyone.

“Norn-san…”

“What is it?”

Norn’s voice was softer than usual.

Because of that, I could say something I didn’t want to say.

“I… actually… unlike everyone else… I’m not from a noble family, I’m a commoner…”

I’m scared.

Scared.

What will they think of me?

Do they despise me like my superior did?

Or do they not even care, just indifferent?

While I was thinking that briefly,

Norn behind me said, as usual, calmly,

“Oh, really?”

…Huh?

“Is that all…?”

“Yeah. Among noble girls, we’re rare because we’re soldiers, and even fight on the front lines. So no one cares about nobles or commoners. Actually, most of us hate guys who act all proud just because of their title. Of course, I’m one of them. That’s why when you asked why I’m kind to you, I didn’t say it’s because you’re a trainee or because of your title. I said it’s because you’re Finn-kun.”

“…! Then… then I…”

From now on…

“Is it really okay for me… to keep being with everyone…?”

I asked without thinking.

Norn came around in front of me and crouched down.

Her nice scent reached me, and then she asked,

“Before I answer that, I want to hear your opinion.”

“My… opinion?”

“Yeah. What do you think about that, Finn-kun?”

Whether I want to keep being with everyone.

I don’t even need to be asked.

I don’t even need to think.

The answer is only one.

“I…!”

Just as I was about to say it,

Norn put her finger gently on my lips and said with a kind expression,

“Let’s talk about that after we get out of the bath and return to the living room where everyone is.”

“…! Okay!”

Indeed, whether I want to keep being with everyone is not something to say alone with Norn.

It should be said where everyone can hear.

“Well then, let’s end this talk here for now—”

Trying to close the conversation, Norn looked at my body.

“It’s the first time I see your body, Finn-kun. It’s really very different from a girl’s.”

“…!”

Hearing that, I looked at Norn carefully again.

Her face was mature as always.

Her loose bangs and glossy lips reminded me of an adult woman.

She wore a bath towel now, showing her neck and shoulders.

Her breasts looked different than usual, a bit tight because of the towel, but soft just to see—No!

“M-Maybe so.”

I stopped my thoughts and replied.

“That’s not maybe, it’s true. Since it’s a rare chance, do you want to compare it with my body?”

“Eh…!?”

Norn calmly tried to untie her bath towel knot.

“W-Wait! You don’t have to do that…!”

“I see…”

She let go of the towel and then stretched her hand toward me.

“Charm of Enchantment.”

With the word, she released magic.

“…Norn-san?”

I didn’t understand why she used magic now.

I called her name, confused.

Norn smiled happily.

“Sorry for doing this suddenly. I know it’s the same every time, but I get so happy thinking there’s a boy in this world who can resist my Charm of Enchantment, so I keep doing it over and over.”

“It doesn’t affect me at all. I only feel the magic, so it’s okay. Also… your magic now isn’t for battle, so maybe that’s why it feels warm. I really like it.”

“…! You really… like my magic…”

When I said that, Norn blushed.

It’s rare for me to be targeted by magic that’s not an attack.

But I loved the warmth I felt from Norn’s magic.

While thinking that, Norn spoke in a sweet voice.

“Finn-kun… I really didn’t mean that today… but when you say things to me with such a gentle and calm expression, my whole body gets hot deep inside…”

“H-Heat…? Does that mean you’re getting dizzy!?”

I thought it was impossible because we haven’t even soaked in the bath yet.

But there was steam from the hot water.

So it wasn’t impossible that the heat was already there.

“If that’s the case—”

I was about to say I’d take her to the dressing room immediately.

But Norn shook her head.

“No, it’s not that kind of heat… Even if we go to the dressing room, I don’t think it will go away.”

“Then… what should we do?”

“Hmm. There are many ways, but for example—”

When I asked that,

Norn placed her hand on her breasts.
