Vol 2: Chapter 8: Matching Thoughts

She's becoming more and more of a jerk...

The Saint and The Hero of Salvation

Matching Thoughts

Recently, something funny has happened. It's made me feel so much better! It all started after I met Hayato again.

A month later, he appeared before us as we were leaving the royal capital, and on the surface we were all happy to be reunited.

So, since it had been a while since we last met, he invited us to stay in the royal capital and talk for a while.

Reno and Aleph were reluctant, but I went along with it.

This guy... I have a feeling he's going to do something interesting again...!

Just do whatever you like with the bastard Aleph.

"That's true... I haven't heard any good rumors lately. Looking at what he did to you in the past, I understand how you feel... But even so, I want to believe. I wonder if the current hero has reflected on what he did to Aleph and is sincere in his determination to defeat the Demon King..."

When I said that to him, he looked grim and said, "Okay, if Chris believes in it, then I'll believe in it too." It was so funny!

There's no way a guy like that will repent and change. Scum will always be scum, you idiot. Aleph is still as scary as ever, but his brain is a disappointment.

Don't trust anyone. The only person you should trust is yourself.

Oops, I've digressed. So, here comes the funniest part. I thought for sure that Hayato would try to hold back the beautiful me with his charm skill again.

It had been a while since I'd last acted with a headache, but it wasn't too bad, so I got all fired up and answered Hayato's call. And then...

That guy, he used his charm skill on the kid Reno!? The kid Reno is only about 12 years old! That was damn scary.

I can't believe that the lower half of the body of a payapayato-kun was a loli**n hero, it made me laugh so hard. Are you the kind of guy who can 'eat' anything...? By the way, the reason you held me back was because you wanted the loli Reno!?

Reno had been desperately resisting the charm skill, but today marks exactly one week since then.

Moreover, Hayato seems to really want to have sex with Reno-gaki, because he comes to see her three times a day...I guess that acts as a reminder of meal times.

The Reno brat have already been charmed more than twenty times and is nearing her limit. Considering that Aria and the others were already head over heels in love with Hayato after only the tenth time, she is really trying her best.

Good job, Reno! You'll get it done soon, hahaha.

So, recently she seems to be forcing herself to act nice towards me, but I'm actually feeling a bit bad about it. Should I say that she hates me?

When I stroke your head you make a displeased face, it's the best. Be more displeased and understand my feelings.

What is this skill? Does it also target people of the same sex? Or has Reno always looked at me as that kind of target? That's too horrifying...

Now, if she were to utter some thoroughly insulting words at me, I'd be able to use that as an excuse to say goodbye to this brat.

I was actually planning to use it up in a moving masterpiece, but that would be too much work... If Hayato-kun would take it, that would be the best! Long live Lolicon! It's gross, but I'll praise it!

Now then, I'll join in on the Reno brat who has had charmed by Hayato skill again.

I'm sure Hayato wants to hold Reno-gaki in his arms soon, but he's caused me so much stress, so let me play a little.

"Rino...? You look pale, are you okay? (She looks like she doesn't like it.)"

"...N-no, O-onee-chan.... it's okay."

"Rino? You're acting a little strange after all! Excuse me for a second (Hurry up, lose your temper and yell at me!)"

Saying that, I tried to place my hand on Reno's forehead...and then...

"--Stop it! Don't touch me with those hands!"

"Ah!? R-Rino? I-I'm sorry... Did I do something to offend you, Rino...? (Damn, your reaction is too funny... What's with that face!?)"

"...Ah... that's not it... I wouldn't say that to my Onee-chan... Ah, ahhhh! That's not it! That's not it!"

"I'm sorry, Reno... You got a little surprised when I tried to touch you without your permission, right? I'm sorry (at this point, I'll deliberately shows off a smile that seems to be enduring the pain in my heart!)"

...It's the best. This brat, Reno, who was annoying me and interrupted my time, now hates me.

That's too good. You could use stronger words. Like 'Get away from me!' or 'Disappear!'

Reno went crazy and ran off to her room on the second floor. Her strange behavior is conspicuous, she must have gone crazy. Take care of yourself, just kidding.

"Reno-chan, what on earth happened? Treating Chris like that...I can't believe it."

"Maybe Reno is just a little... tired. A lot has happened (my meeting with her was also the beginning of my nightmare, after all)."

Hayato-kun acted like he didn't know anything, but I was in a good mood so I went along with it. When I think about how he was acting like that while holding back from wanting to enjoy the loli, he's just too funny... Maybe I should raise my opinion of Hayato-kun a bit. From trash to funny trash.

"I see. In that case, maybe if she rest for a while she will be back to normal. I'll come again later. Good night, Chris."

"Good night, Hero-sama. Thank you for worrying about Reno (I'm seriously grateful that you took her away)."

"That's fine, I'm starting to get worried about you as I'm talking."

Saying that, Hayato the Lolic*n left. I wonder if he's not interested in Aria and the others anymore. Lately he's only come to see Rino-gaki. What happened to that nymphomaniac Hayato in the past year...?

I think I'll go to bed now. Judging from Reno's condition, tomorrow will be the best day. Once she has completely become Hayato's, I'll leave the royal capital and resume my journey. I was about to go up the stairs to my room.

"Umm, are you the Saint? My name is Danak and I am a priest at the church. Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"Um, the priest Danak? I understand. What would you like to talk about? (Who is that?)"

Suddenly, I encountered a weird old crap priest, so I switched to Saint mode. I can't let my guard down against a guy I don't understand.

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you at this time, but this is something very important to discuss."

"...What is it, something important? (Stop making weird pauses and just tell me what you want to say. I'm going to die.)"

"The girl who was with the Saint earlier...she hasn't received the Goddess's blessing yet, has she?"

“Are you talking about Reno…? It’s true, Reno doesn’t have any skills… (Ask her parents, why is that my responsibility?! Don’t mess with me!)”

"I'm sure you know this, Saint-sama, but a child of that age must receive the Goddess's blessing at the church. I'm sure you understand that this is a matter of top priority."

"Yes, that's right. I think it's a natural duty to receive the goddess's blessing (so don't tell me that. That brat is a stranger)."

"In that case, could you please bring the child to the church early tomorrow morning? The people of the church will be very happy if the Saint comes."

So basically, you're just using Reno-gaki as an excuse to summon this big guy known as the Saint of Devotion!

What do you mean, the goddess's blessing is absolute, you calculating old fool! Well, if you want to worship me, I guess I'll go!

"I understand. I understand that it is the role of the priest to guide children who have not yet been blessed. I promise that I will take responsibility and bring Reno to the church early tomorrow morning, Priest Danak (It's a pain, but I only have a little time left to be with Reno, so I'll at least say my final goodbyes at the church.)"

"If the Saint says so, then I feel relieved. Well then, I'm sorry to have kept you here. I will now take my leave."

Saying that, the old bastard quickly leaves the inn. He must have been asked by the church to wait for me... Oh well, I'll go to sleep too.

After that day, Renogaki never came to my room again.

--It was very comfortable.

No, she was just like this from the beginning...
