The Kingdom was unusually noisy as crowds of people were talking and chattering.

Usually youd express it as everyone is lively but, if you looked at the facial expressions of the people in the Kingdom, youd notice that the majority of those people had sorrowful and dark expressions. The invasion of the Kingdom was truly an unexpected event.

Its been 5 days since that day, the sense of loss and sorrow still lingering in the peoples chests were bringing pain to their hearts. However, that still doesnt stop them from working on the reconstruction, that was surely The strength of people.

On the main street of the Kingdom which was filled with sorrow and strength, a man with white hair and an eyepatch was buying something hotdog-like (because something that wasnt a sausage was inserted instead) and chewing on it as he walked towards the guild headquarters, it was Hajime. Only Yue and Shizuku was by his side. After going to the guild headquarters they were going to repair the great barriers, Shizuku volunteered to guide them to the artifacts location.

Shia and them were house sitting at the Royal Palace. It was judged that it would be better to not needlessly stimulate the people with the appearances of another race walking through the Kingdom, so they volunteered to stay behind. Even if the Kingdom citizens know that the ones that attacked them were Majinzokus, right now theyll likely indiscriminately target them because they arent humans.

The Kingdom were high believers of the church, to begin with, besides the Demi-human slaves, there were hardly any other race but humans. Thats the judgement was proper. Right now if youre just judging by appearances then Kaori counted as human so she was currently helping Aiko and them who were busy helping Ririana, and Teio was sleeping in order to refill the magical power shes used up continuously for the past several days.

[The guild headquarters isin the end, what do you plan on doing there?]

Shizuku asked Hajime as she was also similarly chewing on a cheese flavored hotdog.

[N? Ahh, I thought Id just send a message reporting that the request was completed. Although its something that should be done directly with words, itll be far too troublesome to travel from Fuyuren towards the Sea of Trees. If I send a report through headquarters theyll properly deal with it]

[By report..are you talking about that child called Myu? Come to think of it, I dont see her appearance]

After Shizuku was slightly disappointed and lowered her eyebrows, they explained that Myu was safely reunited with her mother. Was she done in by Myus cuteness after only meeting momentarily? [I wanted to hug her.] Shizuku muttered. However, after hearing Yues words, her eyes opened up widely.

[Its fine. Youll meet again. Since Hajime will be taking her with us to Japan]

[Hai? What does this mean Nagumo-kun?]

[What do you mean what does this mean, its exactly as said. Ive made a promise with Myu. I said Id take her with me to my hometown]

[Ehnobut..Myu-chan is a Umininzoku*Sea person* right?]

Hajime shrugged his shoulders like there was nothing wrong while Shizuku was baffled.

[I understand what youre saying, but its not that much of a problem? There are lots of ways around it, and if theres none then just make one. Isnt it often said? something like, Whether or not its possible, or whether you can do it or not]

[Thats, ma~a, thats certainly true but.]

[To begin with, isnt it too late now? Shias got usamimis..and Yues not even albino but she has sharp canines and bright red eyes. If you look in the long-term, her appearance wont change either..You probably didnt even think about it when I said that I was going to bring both of them back to Japan]

As Hajime made his points, Shizuku certainly had a wry smile now. Yue who was besides him had a faint smile on her face. She was quietly holding onto the hem of Hajimes clothes with her hand. Faintly, a sweet atmosphere began to drift. When Shizuku was hit by the atmosphere, her temperature went up a bit, [Thanks for the meal], she said while fanning herself.

And while glancing over to the side at the two harmonious people, Shizuku was convinced that whatever happens Hajime will somehow find a way through it all even though she had no evidence, when she thought about the steep path which her best friend was traveling on, Shizuku began to become troubled and her eyebrows became an ?.

[.Are you properly looking after Kaori?]

[N~? Thats something you should ask the actual person herself. No matter what I say, I dont actually know how she feels? Ma~a, for me, just as promised, I dont intend to be cruel]

Shizuku suddenly became more worried after hearing those words. If you looked at Kaoris appearance then, somehow or another she understood what the answer was without hearing it, [You overprotective guy], she said as she looked towards Hajime.

Shizuku was feeling somewhat shameful and as Hajime showed signs of being amazed at the remarks, Yue suddenly dropped a bombshell.

[Because hes like that he was assaulted. Hajime, hang in there]

[O, oh]

[Eh? Please wait a moment. Was assaulted? Who did to who?]

[..Kaori did to Hajime. It seems that during the confusion she stole a kiss..darn that Kaori]

[Ka, Kaori did..no way.right, Kaoris already gone up the stairs towards adulthood.]

Before she knew it, her best friend had powered up in various meanings, Shizuku had distant eyes and her cheeks cramped up. As if she was left behind she began to feel lonely.

[..Aiko is also dangerous. Be careful Hajime]

[..Theres no way thats true]

Hajime quickly averted his eyes away from Yues sharp glance, he was one beat too slow in denying that possibility. Shizuku who regained herself as the 2 people talked, thats right! with a sharp glance just like Yue, she thoroughly questioned Hajime.

[Somehow, youre talking as if youve realised it? And? Nagumo-kun, what have you done to Ai-chan?]

[Oi, kora. Why are you already assuming that Ive done something]

[Ever since the day that Ai-chan came back to the Kingdom shes been acting funny. Whenever she spoke of you she blushed. .I highly doubt that it was because you repelled that large army. Something definitely happened while still at the town of Ulu? Sa~a, truthfully spill it out! Its an important matter of whether or not Kaoris rivals will be increasing!]

[No, like I said, I..]

Shizuku who had heated-up, [do~u, do~u], and trying to suppress it, she began to try and get ideas out of Hajime. Then there, Yue while expressionless, exposed it all.

[They kissed. Dense guy]

[! Nagumo-kun! People like you! The other party is a Sensei!]

[Wait, calm down. Ill explain it so, dont grab my neck, dont shake me!]

With a, This high-grade flag architect!, expression, Shizuku began to shake Hajime, and then Hajimes story of the lifesaving act that was performed at Ulu was told. Due to the poison, Aiko couldnt drink the medicine on her own, because the situation called for urgency, he forcefully made her drink it.

Since then it further increased when Shimizu was shot and she was rescued from the isolation tower at the head temple, with Yue adding onto it, Shizuku became convinced. Ahh, dont.fall Ai-chan.

[Ma~a, I understand that it wasnt completely intended to happen but..Nagumo-kun, you look as if youve somehow figured out Ai-chans feelings. Since when have you found out?]

[Since the time when I was taking care of Sensei after she blew up the head temple and killed Ishtar and his group. .Because she was looking at me with strangely feverish eyes, It couldnt be though~ is what I had thought but..As expected, it was like that?]

[..Its like that]

[Its like that right]

Towards Shizuku and Yues confirmation without hesitation, the emergency which was pushed into the corner of his mind came up again as Hajime looked up towards the sky. What are you going to do? is what the glances from both sides said to him, Hajime started thinking of ideas as he groaned out, [U~n]

[Un, lets neglect it]

is what he concluded with.

[..Ma~a, I dont think Aiko-chan will be taking on the offensive. Rather than dealing with it poorly, just leaving it as is might be better..]

[Ah? Ahh, its just like you said. That persons a teacher so she has her commitments to keep. Since Im a student, pretending that I havent noticed it is the best course of action]

Actually, it was simply too troublesome to deal with, so as Hajime said out the plausible reasons he was averting his eyes somewhat and that fact was seen through by Shizuku who was staring at Hajime.

Shizukus glance showed that she was through with the topic and ate all that was left of the hotdog, then Hajime and them finally reached the adventurers guild headquarters in the Kingdom. The building had a feeling like it wasnt inferior in history or scale when compared with Fuyurens branch. When the entrance opened up, there were a lot of adventurers going in and out busily. The amount of requests in the Kingdom likely shot up after the invasion after all.

Hajime and them entered the guild and walked towards the ten rows of large counters. Though it was jammed packed with adventurers, as expected, the receptionists of the headquarters showed splendid skills in their procedures and the lines continued progressing at a fierce rate. In addition, the receptionists were all beautiful women. Right, they were incredible beauties. There was also a cute child as well. An incredibly cute child. *I assume by child theyre talking about a woman and not a kid, however in text it was child so ill leave it as such*

However, Hajime was not one to fall for such honeytraps. After all, Hajimes lover was someone who wouldnt lose out in cuteness nor beauty, she was the perfect beautiful woman. Even now, she was the happy and cute woman holding onto Hajimes hand. There was no chance that hed ever be fascinated by other women.

Thats why, Hajime was thinking that hed want to be given a break from the traps while breaking through happily and gayly. Because he really wont be fascinated by any other woman other than Yue after all.

After having enough of Shizukus amazed expression while beside them, Hajime finally reached the receptionist. As he took out his status plate he also took out to submit the documents proving that Myu was safely returned to Erisen.

[Though Ive come to report a completed request, is it possible for the head the Iruwa branch to report it to the Fuyuren branch from headquarters?]

[Hai? .A nominated questright? Im sorry, please wait for a moment]

The receptionist tilted her neck a little in puzzlement from Hajimes words. It was a proper reaction because a nominated quest from a head of a branch would never be given out to just any adventurer. Currently, the adventurers who were doing their procedures next to Hajime were looking at him in surprise.

When the receptionist received Hajimes status plate and looked at the contents, her clarified expression was destroyed and became just like the adventurers who were surprised. And after comparing the status plate and Hajimes face numerous times, she stood up in a panic.

[Are you without a doubt, Na, Nagumo Hajime-sama?]

[? Ahh, its exactly as written on the status plate]

[Im deeply sorry but, would you please come into the reception room? On the occasion that Nagumo-sama visited the guild, weve been informed to bring him insideIll immediately call the guild master]

[Ha? No, I just want to request that the completed report gets sent to the head of the Iruwa branch. Besides, Ive got plans to go and repair the great barrier after this. Please pardon me from the trouble]

[Eh, eh~, thatll put me in a troubling position..Ill immediately, immediately, call the guild master to come so, please wait for a moment!]

With that the receptionist disappeared into the interior while leaving behind all of Hajimes paperwork and status plate with a speed which seemed that it could generate enough force to make a ~Pew~ sound. Hajime became disappointed. Yue and Shizuku patted Hajimes shoulder as if saying, ma~a, ma~a.

Although Hajime was told to wait for a while, he wondered if this was more troublesome and if he should just report directly to the Iruwa branch? as he thought this, an old man with a beard appeared with the receptionist from a while ago. When Hajime saw the old man he was convinced. He was absolutely the kind of old man who while tossing away his clothes to show his muscles, turn into a macho-oldman while raising out a shout, [Funnu~ua!].

That old man with the weird atmosphere was definitely the guild master and from the moment he appeared the guild suddenly rapidly became noisier. When the guild master called out to Hajime, the commotion spread out to the entire guild.

It appears that the guild masters name was Barusu Raputa. It was a name which somehow sounded like itll being a person into ruins. Somehow it wasnt as bothersome as Hajime had first expected, his glance seemed to indicate that he wanted to talk with Hajime about the report to Iruwa.

No matter which town he travels to and whatever incidents occurred, he had a feeling in his chest that everything would turn out alright but, that was expecting too much.

[Barusu-dono, wont you introduce them to me? If its someone whos being eyed by the guild master then, by all means, Id like to become an acquaintance? Especially because as a gentlemen, it would not do to not greet those lovely women?]

The person who said such affectionate lines while coming closer besides Hajime and them was a bond pretty boy. 4 beautiful women were following behind him. When the surrounding adventurers saw him they began to whisper between themselves. The reason was because he was a Gold rank adventurer named Abel. It seems that his second name was Flash Blade.

With that, Barusu announced that Hajime and Abel were both Gold rankers. The surrounding noise became incredible in an instant which caused Hajime to have a purely troublesome expression. Hajime was about to take Yue and Shizuku and immediately leave the guild but, Abel definitely had an interest in Shizuku and Yue so he had no intentions of allowing them to leave so easily.

Or rather, does no one notice that Shizuku was in the Heros party? Hajime thought with a questionable face. While disregarding Hajimes current state, Able called out to Hajime with a refreshed face and laughingly.

[Fu~n, youre Gold huh~. You seem quite young thoughjust what kind of hand did you play? Theres no way it was a proper method right? Ahh, since it wasnt a proper method you cant say it out here huhsorry for not being considerate enough?]

*Its imagery, hes human lol*Abel was spitting out poison while smiling. At this point, Hajime had completely discarded the thought of fighting with Abel. It was because he judged that he wasnt worthy enough to be an opponent. Yue and Shizuku also realised what Hajime was thinking and also tried to quickly leave the guild.

[Ma~a, wait a bit. Just because Im a real Gold doesnt mean you have to run away. Its not like Ill eat you? Ma~a, since you might not be able to stay around, leaving is fine but, how about I go out for a meal with those girls? Ill show them what a real Gold is?]

So Abel says as he blocks them off. His eyes were convinced that if he invited the women they would absolutely not refuse. However, considering what Abels words sounded like in front of the 3 cheatsit sounded absolutely ludicrous. Since Barusu knew of Hajime and their true identities, his face was trembling and shaking.

[Oi, Yaegashi. Taking care of these unfortunate pretty boys is what youre in charge of right? Ill leave it to you, the specialist, this is just like a degraded version of Amanogawa]

[Whos the specialist of what. To begin with, what are you saying about another persons childhood friend. Kouki isnt .this disappointing? ..Maybe, surely..hes not that pitiful and regrettable]

[Shizuku, you say some unexpected things sometimes. But I intensely agree]

The 3 people were having an extremely natural conversation while being through with Abel. Hes probably never received bad treatment ever since he obtained Gold. The other women were also glaring scowly at Yue and them.

As expected it was becoming a riot so Hajime was thinking about starting a countdown before blowing away all members that were laughing, including the guild masterwhile Hajime was having such dangerous thoughts, an unexpectedly deep voice spoke out like a young girl called out to Hajime and them.

[Ara~a~n, Isnt it Hajime-san and Yue-oneesama over there?]

Hajime felt chills from the mysterious voice and immediately took a defensive stance with Donner pulled out. And the one who appeared when Hajime and them turned around was

[Wh, what is this monster!?]

[Who~is, who could ever confuse San-chis face for a monster!?] *This line is definitely wrong it was a mess, SAN?????????????????????????????????*

Abel shouted out instinctively towards the mass of muscle with wide open eyes! It had thick muscle armor throughout its entire body and face just like what youd see in comics and was around 2 meters in height. Yet it had its red hair tied up to make twintails with a cute ribbon and what they were wearing was a so-called Yukata dress. There were lots of frills attached onto it. They were fluttering around a lot. The thick legs were wonderfully exposed.

For a moment, Hajime had thought that it was the monster, Christabel, from Brook town but, it appears to have been a different person. Unless that guy had a shape shifting ability..

[Hi~i, st, stay away! Who do you think I am! Im the Gold ranked Flash Blade Abel! If you come any closer than this, Ill cut you down here!]

[Ma~a, thats terrible! To be called a monster on our first meeting and killed.youre the same Gold as manager but youre treating me quite differently~*<- youll understand later*. But..youre face is to my preference?]

Hajime and them stiffened up from being called out by the man-woman and reminded of Christabel, meanwhile Abel had somehow been cornered. No, he? She? was just there but, San-chi was seen as an enemy and about to be cut down by Abel.

The man looked towards Abel with an amazed expression as he screamed out instinctively? She? If so then, she seems to prefer Abels looks and impatiently approached. With her eyes shining like a beast and while licking her lips.

[I said dont come over here! You monster!]

Abel who was unable to withstand the fear finally pulled out his sword. It was a Gold ranked adventurers attack. Everyone had thought that it would take the life of the man-woman but, the reality was well beyond their expectations.

The man-woman who cut the distance in an instant towards Abel while leaving an afterimage held onto Abels sword with one hand and grabbed him as is. In other words, it was a bearhug.

Abels body could be heard creaking out and was desperately trying to escape. However, because the restraint was formed by muscles, he wasnt able to escape, while he was struggling desperately, Abels tragic time had begun.

[Nufufu, Ill thoroughly punish the bad child?]

[Stop it! Donmmu~guu!?]

Abel began to break out into convulsions, after a while, the sound of a sword clanging onto the ground was heard. That sight was almost like a flowers bud being cut off.

The women who were serving Abel all turned pale faced in an instant and ran out of the guild at full speed. Afterwards, the guild as wrapped in silence, Abel was finally released and fell to the ground as if broken. No matter how you looked at it, the victim was the ruffian.

However, what was there was definitely a Gold ranked adventurer. He still retained some consciousness as he glared at the man-woman. But, he immediately looked away from the man-woman and glanced over towards Hajime.

[O, oi, you! Youre the same Gold right! Then help me! Besides, although you may have obtained it through unjust means, Ill put in a good word for you! Youre role is to help me, the Flash Blade! Itll be an Honor! Look, quickly do something about this monster! You slowpoke!]

Although Hajime didnt understand why he was asking for help while verbally abusing him but, his glance was past amazement and turned into pity and regret for Abel. Incidentally, if this really is Gold, then this worlds adventurers are doomed? Barusu thought. Barusu shook his neck as if he was denying something. There may have been various problems with Abel being Gold.

And while Abel was unleashing out all kinds of unbearable insults, the one who came forwards was not the man-woman, but Yue. There, Abel got the wrong idea.

[Ahh, youre willing to help me? Then, tonight Ill make time just for yo-]

[Dont open your mouth]

Hajime and Shizuku understood that Yues voice carried anger in it. It seems shes a bit ticked off that he was verbally abusing Hajime. While interrupting Abels words, a black swirling orb appeared in Yues right palm.

[Be born once again then come back Beep rascal]

[Eh~? Wai-!? Stop, ah, ah, aaah!!!]

On this day, another person from this world, a man has perished and the gave out their first cries as a man-woman.

With a satisfied expression, Yue who crushed the symbol of a man, returned to Hajimes side. If you looked at the surroundings, all male adventurers covered their crotches with both hands while slouching over and trembling. Someone within them had tears in their eyes as well. It appears that just seeing it was enough to damage them.

Then, at that time, whispers began to be heard in the guild that was wrapped in silence.

[O, oi, a blond girl with red eyes and a white haired boy with an eyepatch..]

[Eh? It, it cant be, the Crotch Smasher!]

[Seriously..then those two are Sma-love..]*<- original text, Or Smash Lovers, whichever floats ur boat*

[Eh? Whats that, those two horrifying names]

[You dont know? Theyre the adventurers who appeared like a comet several months ago. A blond girl with red eyes like a rose. Dont be misled by those good looks, if you get pulled in what awaits you is a new world. She has the appearance of a goddess but shes also the son killing demon kingBy her side is the white haired boy with an eyepatch. The incarnation of unreasonableness. Words never get through to him. Do not make eye contact. Do not speak out to him. Do not get into his sights. If you still want to live that is, thats what the minstrel who came from Brook said. In fact, even in Fuyuren and Hourado, theres been quite a lot of mens whose son were murdered to the state of being unable to recover by an unknown group?]*Son here meaning genitals*

[Whats with that, how scary]

It appears that Hajime and Yues name circulated even to the Kingdom due to minstrels. The surrounding adventurers looked at Hajime and them in terror while shivering, if we make eye contact, well get done in! they thought as they gradually distanced themselves while covering their crotch.

[You guys..what exactly were you guys doing]

Shizuku looked at Hajime and Yue with an amazed glance. Yue looked indifferent but, Hajimes cheeks were cramping up grandly as the rumors of the 2 names spread. Then, the man-woman from a while ago called out to them.

[Its been a while? Im happy that you two havent changed, wan] *<- a dogs barking noise*

[..No, who are you. Are you Christabels acquaintance?]

Hajime asked while being openly on guard towards the man-woman who winked at them. He had a slight trauma of the time when he was attacked by Christabel while leaving Brook Town. Once again, Shizuku who also witnessed the strange scene, thought, where did the usual everyday social conversations go, her cheeks were unintentionally cramping up, as she casually withdrew behind Hajime to make him a shield.

[Ara, how thoughtless of me..you wouldnt know from my appearance nen? I once confessed to Yue-oneesama and I literally suffered an honorable death as a man buthave you remembered?]

[Ah. Really?]

It appears that Yue had an idea as she looked up at the man-woman with a shocked expression. The man-woman laughed happily as Yue managed to remember.

According to his self introduction, he confessed to Yue at Brook Town but was immediately shot down, the people who she mainly performed a crotch smash on were mainly adventurers, and as a man-woman he/she studied under Christabel. By the way, it seems that his/her name was Mariabel (Named by Christabel).

[At that time, I was truly foolish, wan. Im sorry ne? Yue-oneesama.]

[..N, youve become splendid. A new life should be enjoyed]

[Ufufu, I thought that Oneesama would say that, wan. Speaking of which, recently, there have been more and more boys hoping to become Christabels apprentices. If I remember right, it was a former Black rank adventurer and some former mercenaries based in the hidden organization in Horuadowith that, the manager has to expand her shop nen. Today is the preliminary inspection]

Hajimes spine began to tingle and his expression distorted and trembled in fear. It appears that because of Hajime and them, there were large quantities of man-woman in this world and they were multiplying.

However, Hajime hadnt noticed that Mariabel was originally an average height and built man. The rapid growth within these few months wasdue to Christabels training methods, by itself, it seems to be at a monstrous level.

Furthermore, from what Mariabel spilled out a while ago, Christabel was originally a Gold rank adventurer. Naturally her disciples would become extremely competent in combat. It was clear from the fight that Mariabel had with Abel a while ago.

A huge unparalleled army of man-woman..its a nightmare.

As Hajime watched Yue and Mariabel exchange conversations in a friendly manner, he renewed his determination to escape from this world as soon as possible.

Shizuku said with an amazed voice, [You reap what you sow.], as she stood behind him. Somehow or another, Hajime who was angry, pushed Shizuku off onto Mariabel. After this, the pleased Mariabel gave Shizuku a grand hug to the point of causing her face to turn pale, after she was separated from Mariabel, she went and quarreled grandly with Hajime, at that time, the rumor ridiculing Shizukus relationship started spreading butitll be omitted here.
