I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 64 - Through the Eyes of Another: The Bard's Highway to Hell

Meanwhile, on the road towards the village of Vilre, south of the capital of Ronerulle...

"What's with this cliché timing?! Why did there have to be an outbreak just as we decided to head back to the capital?! Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh..." Shino whines while making a mess out of her hair.

I chuckle quietly. "Well, isn't it always like that?"

She stops ruining her looks and glances at me, who is riding on a horse by her side. "What do you mean by that, Natalie-san?"

"In all these novels you always talk so much about, isn't it a common trope for the heroine to get interrupted whenever she tries to confess? We are technically heroes summoned into another world. What if it's not Kamil but Mr Carter who is the main character in our story?"

Shino pales instantly and her eyes widen. "Oh no... Oh no, no, no, no... Don't tell me I will be unable to express my feelings for sensei and remain a side character forever while he creates an incredible harem of foreign beauties and falls in love with them!" She starts rubbing her head even more forcefully. "Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh! I should have been honest with myself back on Earth! What do I doooooooooooooo?!"

I shake my head with a soft smile. Since our last talk by the fire, Shino became a little less secretive with her love for Mr Carter, which resulted in her beginning to worry about it more and more even after all that talk about not minding anything that happens around him as long as she could be by his side.

She still doesn't talk openly about it with anyone else besides me, but she certainly changed and others definitely noticed that. Well, maybe besides Kamil. He always has been oblivious to everything else besides his own existence, and it's actually even worse now after Vanessa joined us.

He can't get his eyes off her, whatever we do and wherever we are. If Shino changed then he suddenly turned into a completely different person.

「Does love at first sight have such a strong effect on someone? Or love in general? I don't remember becoming much different when I realized my feelings...」

I take another peek at Shino, who is slowly calming down her emotions, and with a smile, I observe how she employs one of the breathing techniques she learned from her family, to regain control over her mind and body. A sight almost like from martial arts movies.

Before she finishes, I move my gaze forward onto Vanessa, riding between Kamil and Marcia. After we escorted her to the king of Ronerulle, we agreed to take her with us to Evalitia's capital after the burial since that was where we were going to be headed anyway due to Shino insisting on us returning.

But, during the three days we stayed at their place to rest a little, a report arrived, saying that Abyssals have been spotted in the vicinity of one of the villages in this kingdom. Vanessa is a very kindhearted person and instantly requested her father to send her there so she could help.

She will definitely become a great ruler with how much she cares for the people, being able to instantly put away her thoughts on her brother's death and focus her mind on doing everything she can to help those that are still living.

I'm sure the king would have begged us to help too, and that's pretty much our role in this world anyway, but before anything of that had a chance to happen, our great Hero stepped forward and swore an oath to assist the princess in saving her people.

Thus, we are currently heading towards the village which reported the sudden appearance. Our return has been delayed a little, but this is also a chance to learn more on the topic of Abyssals. And hopefully, to prevent the massacre that happened in the mining village back in Evalitia.
