The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

34 – 034. Nothing happened

inconvenient.

The situation right now was very uncomfortable.

Rene always stares at the window, Rin sips the same tea as me, and I notice the two of them.

Since Rin joined, not a single word of conversation has been exchanged here.

At this rate, what will happen if you remain silent?

I’m curious, but before that, I might die of frustration.

So I struggled to speak.

“Did Lewen have a good sleep?”

“yes. As always, this is the way to get two inn rooms and sleep on the bed. He looked like an angel sleeping soundly.”

“Nice job… … .”

This conversation ends.

Unfortunately, no more words could come out even after wringing out my head.

Silence came to the situation again, so I, unable to withstand the current atmosphere, decided to leave.

“I’m going to go to the bathroom for a while. I should bring some more tea and refreshments on the way back.”

“Bye.”

“Come on.”

This was the first time that the overlapping of the two women’s voices had been so frightening.

I don’t know if it’s okay if I’m away, but I don’t think there’ll be a big problem since we’ve been together without any problems so far.

Believing that, I stood up.

[Contractor. Don’t you know?]

‘what?’

[What kind of feelings Rene and Lyn have toward you.]

‘I know. At least the fact that the two of them are fond of me.’

[If you know, why did you leave the two alone?]

‘I said I was going to the bathroom, but you can’t ask someone to follow you. And just because I’m leaving it, I’m sure the two of them will fight bloody?’

[…] … You really don’t know the heart of a woman.]

‘Then shall we bet? I’ll bet nothing will happen until I get back.’

[good night. Let this body bet on what will happen. What is the winner’s reward?]

‘How about granting one wish?’

[It’s not bad, let’s see. Whose prediction is correct?]

Prach’s meaningful words disturbed my heart, but I decided not to pay much attention.

I go to the bathroom and come back, at least 3 to 5 minutes.

I had no idea that something would happen in the meantime.

I guess… ?

***

Cold air flows between the two women.

As the man who had been acting as a wall between the two left for a while, he felt even more severe cold.

As the only mediator left, the conflict between the two was deepening in earnest.

It started with a word from the half-dragon, who had only been looking out the window.

“Why did you do that?”

“… … what do you mean?”

“Are you asking because you don’t know that? Why did you intervene at an important moment!”

“I’m not sure what Renee-sama is talking about.”

“Don’t pretend. I felt your presence in the nearby alleys even before I entered the cafe.”

“You seem to be misunderstanding something. Ever since I left the inn, I’ve been wandering around to join Bern-sama, and I only sensed that you two were here with Mana and came back.”

Knock!

Rin’s attitude of pulling it off to the end caused Renee to bite her molars tightly.

There is a heart attack, but there is no physical evidence to prove it.

Unable to do this or that, Rene was building up resentment, but suddenly a good idea came to him and he decided to change course.

“okay? So, you mean you had no idea what was going on just now?”

“yes.”

“I was about to confess that I liked you, Bern. I was blown away by your interference, but when Bern-sama comes back, I will gather up my courage again and tell you my feelings. So, would you mind stepping aside for a moment?”

Renee smiled and invited Rin to leave the cafe.

It meant that if there was no way to interrogate him, he would go straight ahead.

That’s how the situation went to Rin’s disadvantage. However, Lin expressed her subjective opinion while remaining as calm as possible.

“Isn’t it a nuisance to the teacher?”

“Why is it a nuisance to confess that I like you? You’re not trying to disparage me, are you?”

“Of course, I didn’t mean it that way. I just thought it was too early to confess right now.”

“Why do you think so?”

“If I’m not mistaken, I know that teacher teacher and Rene-nim have been dating for less than a month. But it might not be too hasty to confess that you already like it… … .”

“My mother said that someone can realize love in just an hour, and someone can fall in love as soon as they see it. By the way, love is such a feeling, so accept it honestly. So I think time is meaningless in love.”

“René-sama may think so, but the teacher might think differently.”

“That’s why even if Bern-sama rejects me, I intend to accept the result. So, you, the third person, are asking me to leave.”

Rin was refuted by the correct words.

In the end, Rin, who had been responding calmly, had a slight wrinkle between her brows.

At this rate, it was obvious that the half-dragon in front of me would act as it pleased.

Rin began to speak in a slightly aggressive tone.

“If Renée liked someone else, I would have done so. However, if the subject of the confession is the teacher, I cannot agree with that opinion.”

“May I ask why?”

“Don’t you know Rene-sama too? The fact that the teacher is vaguely aware of our hearts. Even so, there is one reason to leave the distance. It means they’re not ready to accept us yet! In the midst of that, if one of us suddenly confesses, the teacher will surely feel burdened.”

“You don’t know that! Rather, isn’t Bern-sama able to shake off his hesitation and accept his heart?”

Awesome!

In the end, Rin decided to reveal her true feelings even though she was biting her teeth.

“Isn’t it petty! I want to confess my true feelings that I like you! But now I’m holding back, saying that it shouldn’t be like that.”

“So you’re saying you’re hiding it without being able to say that you like it even though you like it?”

“It’s still too early for both of us! I have to confess after gaining the teacher’s heart a little more so that it won’t be a nuisance to the teacher.”

“What you think is not love, it is worship.”

“Don’t make your own conclusions… ! I am speaking with the teacher’s heart first!”

Renee, who says that if you really like her, you should always be honest, and Lyn, who says that if you truly care about Bern, you should avoid confessing right now.

The voices of the two were gradually heated by the conflicting opinions.

Everyone in the cafe was watching the two women argue, but no one could stop them.

That’s right, half dragon on one side, sword star on the other.

This is because the spirit that the two exuded combined with a sense of coercion that made the body shrink instinctively.

“I don’t care if you object or not. I’m going to confess my feelings to Vern!”

“Do you think I will leave you alone?”

“What if you won’t leave me alone? You want to fight me?”

Two women, each reaching the pinnacle of the bell and the pinnacle of the sword, were sharpening their energy while facing each other.

If you make a mistake, you will be bitten right on the spot.

Renee exposed her claws, and Rin put her hand on the scabbard.

It seemed that if someone gave a signal, they would crash right on the spot.

Anticipating this, the air around them was shaking like crazy.

It meant that the two’s skills transcended the distant realm.

gulp-!

People swallowed their saliva in fear, and prayed earnestly that nothing would happen.

Even if I wanted to get out of the spot, my body stiffened with fear would not listen, and if I stayed still, I felt like I would get caught up in a fight and get seriously hurt.

Customers who are in trouble because they can’t do this or that.

In the meantime, Rene and Rin were throwing fists and hands at each other, just before a collision occurred.

“What are you guys doing?”

Vern’s words came back from the bathroom in a low voice.

At the same time, Renee hid her claws, and Lind also put her sword into the scabbard at the speed of light and removed her hand.

And then, casually, I smoked something else.

“Dah, I wasn’t doing anything at all!”

“yes. I was stretching because my body was sore from sitting still!”

“… … Is that so?”

Even though he was puzzled by their behavior, Vern, who didn’t ask more than that, packed his things.

Then, naturally, I opened the cafe door and looked back.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you going?”

“Go, I’ll go!”

“I’ll be right there!”

Two people scrambling to pack their belongings.

Vern smiled and went out of the cafe first.

[The bet is the victory of this body.]

‘The accident hasn’t happened yet, right?’

[If you hadn’t rushed out of the bathroom, it would have been an empty lot. Are you still not going to admit defeat?]

‘… … Wouldn’t it be a draw?’

[No way, Contractor. Whoops… !]

“ha… !”

Two women who went to the brink of fighting over themselves, and a demonic sword who made a sinister plan with the right to wish they had luckily won.

Verne’s sighs grew heavier today, but he too was aware of it in his heart.

That you can’t hide your heart forever.
