Chapter 75: Intrusive Thoughts


"..." I mix a few things into a pot and start to warm it over the fire from our campfire. Eve is sharpening her sword, and Syl'Vyr is chattering away at her. Eve isn't giving any responses but is paying attention.

"You all talk too much," Darian says in that annoying, arrogant tone of his, opening his eyes. It's been about two hours since I bandaged him, so I guess he was sleeping.

"And you only talk nonsense when you open your mouth," I say, irritated with him. Normally, I'd never be this rude to an injured person, but it just so happens that I don't "like" ungrateful people.

Maybe it's because I was very "ungrateful" in the past, living as a parasite on my parents' money. In this world, I'm trying to be better, so seeing someone be ungrateful for the help they received bothers me.

Not because it's weird or unusual, but because it's how I used to be. It makes me feel regret, since I never managed to properly thank my parents for everything they did for me.

"..." Eve looks at me strangely because of my reaction but soon returns her attention to her sword. I taste the food in the pot, see that it's ready, and take it off the fire since I just wanted to heat it up.

"Darian, do you want some?" I ask, offering it to him. No matter how he treats me, he's still injured. And as much as I dislike his attitude toward my help, I still understand that demons are troublesome beings, and it's natural to be distrustful since someone just tried to kill him.

"...No. Besides, that's my food," he refuses. I just shrug and start eating, bringing the food closer to Eve and Syl'Vyr while ignoring his comment about the food being his.

"Hey, I can't cook anything, so I just heated up and mixed what we had. So it might not be good... Tomorrow morning, we'll continue going down the dungeon floors, so we should eat now before it gets too late," I say, smelling the faint scent of food in the air.

"Now that we have a storage ring, we can keep the monster materials and take them with us." I'd been abandoning most monster materials because they weren't very valuable.

But now we can take them and exchange them for money, getting a good amount of gold coins.

"Okay, Evelyn-sama. Then we should go to sleep early... Considering we have an injured person here and the blood might attract monsters, it's best we set up a watch rotation every 3 hours."

"Each of us will stand watch for three hours and then wake the next person to take over while we rest," Eve advises. I agree it's a good plan.

"Let's do that... but I'm not good at detecting enemies... It'll have to be just you two, because I don't think Darian can perform that duty," I warn them in advance so they don't think I'm going to help.

The two of them agree as if it's obvious, which is slightly disappointing. They both understand I'm weak. I'd like to help, but I have no way to detect enemies, so it would be dangerous for me to stand guard and risk us being caught by surprise.

'At least we'll be able to save up a lot of money and pay for good things!' With Syl'Vyr's help, I think we can go to lower floors than I originally planned and get a good amount of money.

'We need a good sword for Eve, a staff or some other magic relic for Syl'Vyr, and quality clothes! And materials, too.' My plan to become an adventurer isn't to run away from the castle.

I became an adventurer to accumulate strength. I'll do anything to become queen, and the most important step right now is to be strong. I thought being an adventurer would help with that.

"Evelyn-chan, why did you decide to help this strange guy?" Syl'Vyr starts talking, completely ignoring the fact that Darian is listening, and pulls me out of my thoughts.

"Ah... I just thought he needed help... I mean, it's nothing! Anyway, he should be very grateful to be saved by a beautiful future queen like me!!!" I murmur quietly at first before changing my tune.

"Hmmm, you're such a Tsundere, Evelyn-chan," she says with a little smile, making me embarrassed. She easily figured out that I didn't want to say the real reason—which is simply that I feel bad leaving an injured person without care.

'D-Dammit, this ruins my image!' How can I seem like an amazing queen if I'm this soft and can't even see someone injured without my heart aching?

It's not like I see kindness as a bad thing, but if people find out I'm like this, I could have problems with people trying to trick me.

'Well... maybe this is a good quality? After all, demons are quite cold and selfish... maybe this is a good sign that even though I became a demon, I'm still good?' I wonder this without knowing the answer.

"Syl'Vyr... could you wear these clothes? They're masculine, but I think the jacket and pants would fit you well," I say, taking the clothes that were in the storage ring and offering them to Syl'Vyr to wipe that silly grin off her face.

"Oh, really? Thanks, Evelyn-chan!!! It is a bit cold," she says, eagerly taking the clothes from my hand. I bite into a piece of bread and watch Syl'Vyr.

"H-Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, HEY!! What the hell are you doing!!" She started undressing right here in front of three different people like it was nothing.

"It's fine, Evelyn-chan, you and Eve can look... and that guy over there... well, it doesn't matter, right? What could he do?" she says with a little smile, putting on the jacket and tightening it, which blatantly highlights her breasts.

'She's doing that on purpose, isn't she?' It has to be! Everything she does always highlights her chest, and it seems super intentional. She also removes her bottom half and puts on the pants, which are almost too tight around the thighs and too loose around the legs.

"..." I finish my bread, look at Darian, and see that he's totally staring at Syl'Vyr, mainly looking at her breasts, which he just saw completely naked.

"Y-You... YOU PERVERT!!!!" I throw my bread at his face with all my might.

"Oohhw... what's your problem! She's the one who got naked in front of everyone! And those are my clothes! It's not my fault she decided to get naked in front of me! It's her fault!" he says angrily, with a sound of pain.

"Have some basic decency! She's a girl; she doesn't need your perverted eyes on her body! And these clothes are mine! They were inside the storage ring I won!"

"You should at least be a gentleman and close your eyes! If you do that again, I'll gouge out your perverted eyes! Don't even think about looking at us like that again, you pervert! Darian the Pervert! That's the title you deserve!" I say, diverting the subject while crossing my arms in front of my own chest.

I might be calling him a pervert, but I was also watching her change clothes. She could have at least gone a little farther away to do it.

I admit it was impossible not to look. She has an amazing body and just did it out of nowhere, so it's not 100% his fault, but still, he's a man! He should close his eyes! Not stare so shamelessly like she's a piece of prime meat!

"Tsk..." He turns away and stops looking at us. I grab another piece of bread to eat and look at Syl'Vyr, who gives a little smile like she expected this. I give her a poisonous look to tell her to stop with these stupid jokes.

Doesn't she understand she shouldn't expose her body like that? It goes beyond boldness and enters the area of stupidity! There's no way to know if Darian isn't a complete pervert.

'Why do I get so embarrassed?' It's not like I should be so ashamed of seeing a girl naked. I've seen it before in school—not 100% naked, but in their underwear when changing for class.

'Is it because the girls in this world are absurdly beautiful?' I wonder with doubt about what to feel regarding the girls of this world. The worst part is that this kind of questioning reminds me of the game.

'A-And I know what Marie and Esther look like naked... oh god, if they find out about this... I'm screwed!!' I don't know what Esther would do, but if Marie finds out I know that, she'd try to kill me.

Even worse is knowing their "weak points" in bed. Of course, Esther barely has any, but Marie does. If she finds out I know how she acts in bed, she'd break my face!

'Damn it! Damn R-18 game knowledge!!!' It's not like the game was a Hentai; it was a Dark Otome Game, practically a standard Visual Novel, with the biggest differences being the dark story and the R-18 content at the end of each route.

You could even enable an option to remove the R-18 content since it was just an extra, but the content was there. And I liked the beautiful artwork, so I ended up watching each scene multiple times and even taking notes on some things.

'This reminds me... do I have the same weak points as the Evelyn from the game?' I look down at my body, praying to every god that exists that I don't, because Evelyn was very sensitive in certain places.

"I-I'm going to sleep!" I say, my hunger gone, just wanting to bury myself in any blanket I can find so I don't have to remember all the embarrassing things I know.
