Chapter 48: What Is Life?

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

When Watanabe heard Kirishima suddenly wanted to quit, Watanabe tilted his head to the side, confused. 

But then, upon seeing the dejected expression on Kirishima’s face, he decided to head to the vending machine instead. He bought a can of coffee and tossed it to her. Kirishima caught the can easily, thanks to her excellent reflexes. But then, Kirishima grimaced upon seeing what Watanabe got for her. 

“Black coffee…. I don’t like bitter stuff.”

Seeing her somewhat childish side, Watanabe smiled. 

“Well, you know what? You better get used to it now. Just like coffee, life is bitter too. We just sprinkle some sugar to make them sweet and delicious.”

“….What are you acting cool for? Ugh, so bitter….”

Kirishima took a sip of her black coffee and grimaced. 

Watanabe also took a sip of her coffee and asked in a nonchalant manner. 

“So? What makes you want to quit?”

“….”

Kirishima looked up front, staring at nothing. 

“It just sounds foolish.”

“Oh? What exactly?”

“Everything that I’ve done.”

“Wow. Kirishima-kun, known for being prideful, actually says everything that she has done is foolish. I guess that’s life for you, always full of surprises.”

“….But like, after seeing something like that, wouldn’t anyone feel the same? Compared to that man…. The things we’ve done in the Dungeon Association is like a child’s play.”

“Well, you’re right about that.”

“You’re not going to deny it, huh…..”

Kirishima looked even more dejected.

“This system was created by the government and the Dungeon Association…. You can rise through the ranks easily if you have money and connections. But… Without those privileges, no matter how strong you are, you won’t be able to climb up.”

Kirishima said, her voice was laced with a hint of frustration and guilt. 

“….”

“Even if Yusuke were to appear right in front of them, the Dungeon Association is only going to turn a blind eye on him. Ugh, how frustrating. He just can’t win.”

“That’s not true. The Dungeon Association is actually aware of Yusuke-kun.”

“Really??”

“Yes. As an enemy that they need to eradicate.”

“…..”

“Because of the King Ice Dragon incident, the reputation of the Special Forces has completely plummeted. So of course the association views Yusuke-kun as an enemy that they need to crush no matter what.”

“But like, that doesn’t make any sense, right? The Special Forces are supposed to protect the lives of the citizens!”

“Hmm…”

Watanabe chugged his coffee in one go before he continued. 

“Disgusting selfishness and egoistic thinking are always wearing a beautiful facade.”

“….”

“Devils don’t have two horns or scary faces. Devils are beautiful. They’re charming. That’s also why guys like Aranami-kun and you get charmed by their facade.”

“….”

Kirishima couldn’t say anything back. Everything Watanabe said was right. 

“Then why do you still want to work for a rotten organization like that if you already know about it?”

“Well, the reason is simple.”

Watanabe paused for a moment. He looked straight into Kirishima’s eyes as he answered. 

“I have a family to support. The pay is good. I can give my family a good life by working here.”

“….”

Kirishima had the look of someone who got hit in the back of her head. 

“I’m leaving.”

Kirishima said before she quickly walked away. 

Watanabe watched her retreating figure.

“He’s one lucky guy.”

He said with a mixed expression on his face.

Yusuke Side

“I’m back.”

I opened the door and I saw there were more shoes in the entrance than usual. The extra shoes must’ve belonged to Yuri-nee and Nana. 

“Ah! Onii-chan is here! Welcome back!”

Rie welcomed me back. She was wearing an apron. 

“You’re late!”

Nana said while puffing her cheeks out. Just like Rie, she was also wearing an apron with her casual clothes underneath. 

“The three of us are going to cook something delicious tonight.”

Yuri-nee said with a smile. She was also wearing an apron. 

On my way home after parting ways with Ranko-san, I received a call from my little sister. She said the landlady gave us lots of fresh vegetables so she wanted to invite Yuri-nee and Nana over. Apparently she planned on cooking something delicious for dinner.

Seeing the happy faces of the three of them, I sighed, feeling relieved. 

I showed the plastic bag containing the meat I had hunted from the monster at the dungeon and the three of them came over to me with happy smiles on their faces. 

However…

The bright color suddenly dissipated from their eyes. 

“Huh? Everyone? What’s wrong?”

I asked, confused at the sudden change. 

The three of them had a blank look on their face as they stared at me. 

“””There’s another woman’s scent on you.”””

“-!!!!!”
