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 69: Awareness (1)

Chapter 69: Awareness (1)

◆◇◆

Sephia picked out a sword for me.

We stood in front of a shop selling swords together.

Unlike when we arrived, I now carried a sword at my waist.

“Sephia…! Thank you so much!”

Sephia chose a sword that suited me.

Not only that, she gave me the sword as a gift.

I expressed my gratitude, and Sephia spoke in a gentle tone.

“No. Giving a sword from a teacher is natural, so don’t worry about it.”

“I can’t not worry!”

I said this and touched the hilt of the sword at my waist.

I continued speaking.

“I will cherish this sword from you forever, Sephia! Truly, truly, forever!!”

“You saying that makes me very happy, Finn.”

Sephia said this and smiled happily.

Such a kind person taught me swordsmanship.

She even gave me this sword.

I absolutely had to become strong and repay her kindness.

I strengthened my resolve even more.

Then, I returned to the inn room with Sephia.

Elena and Norn welcomed us warmly.

“Finn and Sephia!”

“Welcome back~ …Oh!”

Norn raised her voice loudly and looked at the sword at my waist.

“You said you were buying a sword, and you already got it~”

“It’s true! The sword suits you, and you look cool, Finn!”

“R-Really?”

“Yeah!”

“I can assure you as well. As a swordsman, it suits you very well.”

“Right~”

“Elena, Sephia, Norn… Th-Thank you.”

Elena called me cool.

Sephia, who had walked the path of the sword, said it suited me.

Norn nodded in agreement with them.

I felt embarrassed and thanked them in a soft voice.

“So cute when he’s shy…!”

Elena said something in a high-pitched voice I couldn’t hear clearly.

Since it was still free time today, I spent time with Elena, Sephia, Norn, and the others.

We ate sweets together again.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t cooked for everyone yet, so I decided to cook for them next time.

While thinking this and spending time with everyone, time passed quickly.

We returned to the room, and the night before the magic tournament arrived.

Norn spoke to me.

“Hey, Finn, it’s getting late. Wanna take a bath with your big sister alone~?”

“What…? With you alone, Norn?”

“Yeah. You didn’t get to see my underwear properly this morning, right? So, I’ll show you alone now~”

As Norn started to say this, Elena interrupted her loudly.

“No way I’d allow that with me right here! And with those words, who knows what you’d do, so you’re banned from bathing with Finn today!!”

“Ugh~”

Norn looked unconvinced and turned her gaze away.

Elena then looked at Sephia.

“What about you, Sephia?”

“I…”

Sephia looked at me, her cheeks flushing slightly.

“I’ll stay close to make sure Norn doesn’t do anything weird. If I see Finn’s body now, I might…”

Sephia murmured something softly at the end, but she wasn’t joining us today.

That meant…

“Okay, I’ll leave Norn to you, Sephia— So, let’s take a bath together, Finn!”

“Y-Yes!”

I nodded and replied.

I entered the changing room first and wrapped a towel around my waist.

I waited nervously for Elena to enter the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she arrived.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, Finn!”

“It’s okay!”

Elena appeared in the bathroom in a bath towel.

She was truly lovely every time I saw her.

Her large breasts and fair, beautiful legs, barely hidden by the towel, made my face heat up.

As I thought this, Elena came behind me.

“It’s just me today, so I’ll wash your body alone!”

“Thank you!”

I still felt guilty having everyone wash my body.

But I knew it came from their kindness, so I couldn’t refuse, nor did I want to.

As I thought this, Elena washed my back and spoke.

“Still, Norn’s such a handful. Before I woke up this morning, did she do anything weird?”

“She didn’t do anything weird!”

“Good, that’s a relief.”

A brief silence followed.

It wasn’t an awkward silence, but there was slight tension.

As I thought this, Elena opened her mouth and spoke.

“It’s been a while since we bathed together, so I’m kinda nervous.”

“Y-Yeah.”

Elena seemed to feel the same, and I showed my agreement.

Bathing with Elena was indeed nerve-wracking, and I never felt used to it.

But was the tension I felt now just from that?

Feeling this question, I started thinking about the cause of my tension.

“Now that I’ve finished your back, I’ll wash your front~”

As Elena said this and moved, I realized the cause.

That’s right… The last time I was alone with Elena in a bath towel was that time.

Her breasts unexpectedly pressed against my face…!

I didn’t know about Elena, but I had been unconsciously aware of that, making my tension stronger.

Elena’s… breasts.

As I thought this, Elena in her bath towel stood in front of me.

My eyes were drawn to her large breasts.

Such large, beautiful breasts pressed against my face.

Not just their appearance, but their feel— No!

Lately, I kept thinking about these things more than before.

I reacted more to everyone’s feminine aspects.

I shook my head desperately to shake off these thoughts.

“Finn…? What’s— …!”

Elena looked down, widened her eyes, flushed her cheeks, and stopped moving.

I followed her gaze and—

“!?”

My… part had become active again.

“I’m so sorry!!”

I apologized quickly and covered my active part under the towel with both hands.

Feeling embarrassed and guilty, I opened my mouth and spoke.

“I know I shouldn’t think such things, but while thinking why I was nervous, I ended up thinking about it suddenly… Elena, you’re my comrade, yet I react like this to your body—”

“It’s not bad!!”

“What…?”

Elena spoke forcefully.

Her cheeks flushed, but she continued with strong conviction.

“As I said before, if you react like that to me, I’m not upset; I’m happy… Anyway, it’s not a bad thing! So—”

She started to say something but closed her mouth in embarrassment.

Then, she opened her mouth again.

Her cheeks flushed deeper, and she spoke in a sweet tone.

“So… you don’t… have to hide it with your hands.”
