In a wide area in the capital, a man and a woman faced each other.
The man had a sheathed dagger in his hand, while the woman was unarmed.
From an outsider’s perspective, it seemed as though the man was assaulting the woman, but in reality, the man was already worn-out.
After attacking many times and not hitting once, the man was ready to collapse. Although there was not a scratch on his body.
Helvi casually dodged his attacks and continued to gently hit Theo.
“Ahh, ahh…”
“Let us make the next one the last. Come.”
“Y-yes!”
Theo gripped his dagger tightly one more time, and faced Helvi.
He hesitated to swing his sheathed weapon at first, but eventually stopped.
No matter how hard Theo swung, he never got close to hitting even one of Helvi’s hairs.
“Haaa!!”
Theo attacked as though he was trying to stab the pit of Helvi’s stomach.
This was something he learned from Xena. When fighting humans, it was a good idea to aim for the vital median line of a person’s body.
From the brow to the crotch, there was a line running down the middle when one frontally faced someone.
This line was not only a weak point for most people, but attacks aimed at it were harder to dodge.
It seemed like the dagger would hit Helvi, but…
She casually brushed Theo’s arm away just before the dagger hit her, with Theo’s arm being harmlessly flicked away.
After failing to hit Helvi with the weapon on his right hand, he tried to hit her with his left hand, but the attack was easily dodged, and Helvi quickly moved behind Theo.
She grabbed his arm, throwing off his center of gravity, and swept his leg.
“…! Ouch…!”
Said Theo after falling on his backside.
It was not a hard fall, since Helvi was still holding his arm. If she was not holding it, it would have been a much bigger fall.
Theo tried to get up… But Helvi’s fist was already on his abdomen.
However, she did not actually hit him, and simply placed her fist there.
And with that, it was over.
“Hm, your aim is good, but perhaps a little too direct. It is too easy to read.”
“Y-yes…”
Helvi lightly pulled Theo up by his arm.
He quickly stood up, but his face was painted red with embarrassment.
“Do it again Theo.”
Helvi crouched to make it easier for Theo to do what he was about to do.
He closed his eyes… And kissed Helvi’s cheek.
The kiss made a quiet sound, after which Theo pulled his face back.
“Fufu, good. Let us go with a kiss on the cheek from now on as well.”
“F-fine, but doing it outside is embarrassing…!”
After they faced each other a few times, Helvi started saying she wanted a reward, and proposed that the loser should have to kiss the winner on the cheek.
Obviously, Helvi never got to kiss Theo’s cheek.
She very much wanted to, but losing on purpose did not sit well with her.
“I would actually like to keep going, but surely your stamina is at its limit.”
“Y-yes.”
Helvi wanted to fight for more rewards, but did not want to push Theo too much.
Theo did not initiate kisses too often, so it felt quite fresh to her, although she wanted more regular kisses, and not ones that served as punishment for losing.
(And obviously not just on the cheek, on the lips as well…)
She thought as they returned to the inn.
There was not a drop of sweat leaving Helvi’s body, but Theo’s was drenched in it.
As they walked through the hall, they passed by other guests.
Man or woman, all were fascinated by Helvi, and a little surprised after their eyes moved to the sweat covered Theo.
Every man that dared to think things about Theo that Helvi did not approve of grabbed his crotch the next moment.
It was obviously Helvi’s doing.
After returning to their room, Theo hurried to get a change of clothes ready and take a bath.
“Eh? You want to go together?”
“Hn? Do you not?”
Theo thought it was strange as he saw Helvi get ready to take a bath as well, as she was neither dirty or sweaty.
“We did not bathe together yesterday, so I thought a morning bath would be nice.”
“I-I see… Then let’s go in together.”
Helvi unashamedly took off her clothes, although Theo did so while feeling embarrassed.
It was husband and wife time, and only they knew for sure what happened afterwards.
The bath did last for an hour longer than usual, which Helvi would justify by saying ‘because we did not get to do it yesterday’.
