(Geez, what a pain this turned into…)
At the same time as Yuugo heard Shiroi’s story, Angel sighed in the forest, with an expression like she was annoyed from the bottom of her heart.
Her expression was leaning more towards anger than bother, and she spoke with disgust towards the cause of it.
“What are you trying to pull here? Why are you hanging around us?”
“I wish you’d stop. What’s with you?”
“Don’t be so cold. We’re already, you know…!”
“Yuugo isn’t around, and the others won’t notice, so how about just a little bit?”
Shian and Egos were acting overly friendly, to the point where it went beyond strange and crossed into annoying, and had smiles pasted on their faces.
The previous day, when they changed plans, they were only looking at them with lust (which was unpleasant in itself), but now they were suddenly touching the two girls, which baffled and angered them. And they continued verbally harassing them.
“There’s no need to be shy at this point. After that intense love making last night.”
“Ah? Ahh…?”
“Well, the room was dark, so we didn’t see each other that much, but you shouldn’t be shy about being touched after what we did.”
“Wai, eh…?”
Egos and Shian spoke with grins, no, slimy smiles, turning Melt and Angel’s bafflement and anger into creeped out expressions as they faced each other.
When Melt and Angel realized that they meant ‘that’, they were convinced that these two had gone crazy and started whispering.
“Angel? What happened to these two?”
“I don’t know. Maybe they picked up mushrooms or berries that made them hallucinate. Their eyes are bloodshot, and they look unwell too.”
Neither wanted to look at them too much, but Shian and Egos definitely looked more unhealthy compared to the previous day.
They did not know when it happened, but the way they clearly looked exhausted led them to believe they must have eaten something bad.
Needless to say, Melt and Angel had no recollection of ever doing such things with them, or any intention of doing so.
They figured they either dreamed or hallucinated after eating bad mushrooms, and were convinced it was real, and both girls sighed.
“Ahh… This is why we should’ve gone with Yuugo.”
“No kidding. We came this way because he asked, but if it was going to be like this…”
Yuugo asked them to join this group, and let him look for Shiroi, but they were not expecting that accepting that would lead to this sort of harassment.
It was not as though they resented Yuugo for it, as surely he also did not expect these two’s idiocy to reach these heights. And as they thought that, those two once again approached them and reached out to them with dirty smiles.
“What are you chatting about? Let us in on it too!”
“Kyah!? Stop that!!”
The moment he spoke, Egos touched Melt’s butt, who showed how unpleasant she felt with her yell, and immediately turned her body and got away.
Shian reached towards Angel’s chest the same way, but she slapped his hand and got away. However, they took that as a cute way of messing around, and seemed unable to control themselves.
“That hurts. If you’re going to hit me, do it more gently!”
“We were gentle with you last night, right?”
“…Sorry An, I don’t think I can take this anymore. Can I punch these two away?”
“I’m not stopping you. I’ll even help… Hn?”
Both were fed up with how creeped out the two guys were making them feel, but just as they were talking about violence, Yuugo contacted Angel through her communications device.
Angel turned away from Shian and Egos, took the device from her chest, and spoke to him.
“What is it Yuugo? Did something happen over there? Ah, yes, I’ll hand it to the vice-president, hang on a moment.”
“Like~I~said, stop whispering! I’m gonna be upse… Bubeh!?”
Angel was completely fed up with their stubborn advances, and slapped Shian in the face. She did not look at him as he shrunk back, and went over to Hao.
She gave him a simple explanation and handed the communications device over to him. Yuugo handed the communications device to Precia, and after they were done talking, Angel spoke to Hao.
“What did the president say?”
“Ah, well… I don’t know why, but she wants the big bag I have.”
“Okay! Then we’ll go deliver it, so give it to me!”
“Good idea. We’ll know where each other are because of the communications devices, so leave it to us.”
Melt and Angel pounced on the idea, seeing it as an opportunity to get away from Shian and Egos, and took the bag Yuugo and Precia wanted.
They then let the communications device guide them as they headed towards Yuugo and the others. Shian and Egos became flustered and tried to follow them, but…
“Whoa, where do you think you’re going? They don’t need four people to deliver a bag. We’re going to stay here and collect ingredients.”
“Guh!? Marcos, you…!?”
Marcos grabbed their shoulders, and stopped them from going after the girls.
Skull also walked in front of them, carrying a bag with the many ingredients they collected so far.
“Don’t get in our way, you useless character…!!”
“Ah, so that’s your true character. People call you heroes and whatnot, but that is nothing but a facade to hide that ugliness. That just makes me want to let you go even less.”
Marcos grabbed their shoulders more strongly and snorted, showing no intention of letting them go.
Shian and Egos let their true selves show because they were speaking to an unimportant character, and felt both an intense hatred because he got in the way of their fun, and regret for letting Melt and Angel go.
