Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou! (WN)

Interlude ten pink hippopotamus.

"Why are these four people?"

"Um, this monster is a little annoying."

"Is it a monster? I'm a minor."

"The category is a monster, but this" Pink Hippo "doesn't live in the realm."

It has been several months since the apprenticeship of an adventurer in the royal city began under the orders of His Majesty.

Today, I had no special training with my usual severe Armstrong guru, and I was glad to have a break.

For some reason, you get acquainted with the forest on the outskirts of the royal capital.

There are a total of four members, Blanc Tak and El, who were also forcibly recruited.

Eina was trained in spear art as usual, while Luise was disappointed by Armstrong's mentor ordering him to stay.

But I want you to feel safe.

Apart from that, neither I nor Armstrong Guru are coming to play.

Although he was a minor, he was involved in work involving monsters.

"Is it 'Pink Hippopotamus?' Can I go home?"

Even a veteran adventurer as much as Blanc-Taak seems to be sorry for the opponent of this "Pink Hippo".

As you can see from the name, you can only get the impression of a fancy hippo, but maybe you have a terrific special move?

I mean, why is "san" attached to the official name?

I felt intense and wanted to ask the naming person.

"All the adventurer's guilds refused, and the bowl came to us."

Why would you let me and Elle, an apprentice apprentice, do such a request?

As if I had overlooked my thoughts, Armstrong began explaining.

"It's not a subjugation request. It's a protection request."

"Is it protected?"

Further explanation follows.

The monster named "Pink Hippo" lives in a beautiful spring in an ordinary forest, not in the area of a monster.

The size is about a pony, and the color is pink as a whole, as the name suggests.

Only females exist, breeding eggs by themselves.

There is a record that lifespan is comparable to that of a dragon, and in short, it seems to be extremely long-lived.

Eggs rarely lay in proportion to that.

The number of inhabitants is very small, and it is said that it is now designated as a protected animal in the Kingdom.

"Is it a protected animal? Not a protected monster?"

"Either way, it doesn't matter. It must be troublesome."

I didn't think there was a concept of animal protection in this world.

What's more, it's a tricky job to protect.

It would be very troublesome to dislike people as much as Blanc Tak.

"Egg shells are a very valuable ingredient in medicine!"

"Is it a medicine?"

"It is a silver bullet for impotence treatment!"

Therefore, it is said that the royal aristocrats are securing and protecting “Pink Hippopotamus”.

To lay eggs comfortably and give away the shell after hatching.

"This time, the individual we are planning to protect has laid eggs earlier than expected."

"Is it after the spawning. Are you OK?"

"Is it dangerous?"

"It's the only dangerous time."

"Momoka Hippo" seems to be a very quiet monster.

Although it is included in the category of monsters, it is much more mature than boars.

Eat only the grass that grows nearby in a beautiful spring in the forest.

If there is no harm, there is absolutely no chance of attacking from the other side.

However, after laying eggs, they seem to be ferocious trying to protect the eggs.

Speaking of which, I've heard that hippos from a previous life are actually surprisingly ferocious animals.

"Even if you're violent, you won't come to another rush."

"Is it intimidating?"

"If that is the case, nobody can refuse the request."

The hint was that the eggshell could be a treatment for disability.

"Pink Hippo uses special techniques for enemies trying to harm themselves or their eggs."

It seems that they will launch a mental attack that combines hypnosis and genjutsu.

"Is it a mental attack?"

"This must prevent any wizards ..."

The contents also have extremely disastrous consequences.

It seems that the women refused to participate this time.

"If a man, can he be damaged?"

"Don't say that, maybe the shaven could be magically prevented."

"Left, one day, I failed to defend my magic before, and I had a lot of trouble. I didn't want to participate if possible! But there is a boy who is a disciple of Alfred! Some bet on it It was! "

"... (I have a very bad feeling ...")

The target, “Pink Hippo,” was by the spring at the back of the forest.

They built a nest out of the grass that they collected, protecting the eggs there.

"Do you take protection to another place?"

"Left, take me to a special reserve prepared by the kingdom. Come on ..."

But it was not good that Armstrong, a strictly muscular master, had come forward.

Did you think you'd be robbed of eggs?

“Pink Hippo” comes out to hide the egg from us, and then starts staring at it with its little eyes.

"Huh? No threats?"

But it was my lack of awareness.

During that time, the eyes of “Momoiro Kaba-san” remain stationary, and gradually this person unconsciously tries to adjust his eyes to those small eyes.

"I'm sorry ... this is ..."

Apparently, we got trapped.

I couldn't keep my eyes off “Pink Hippopotamus” anyway, my head came as a bonny, and finally things like pink mist were seen from the edge of the field of view.

"Isn't even a shaven good for you!"

Even though you have activated defensive spells to prevent sleep spells, they seem to have no effect.

Gradually, the freedom of our bodies is deprived.

"Go, my body doesn't move!"

"I can't help it. I'm determined here and pray for everyone and God's tolerance for the consequences."

"Is there such a way!"

While Blanták is complaining to the guru.

The amount of pink that gradually dyed the field of vision increased, and we lost consciousness.

"Get up, Shingo-kun"

"What? Here?"

When I woke up, it wasn't in the woods.

A classroom in the evening of Heisei in Japan that you will never see again.

Furthermore, when I checked myself, I was in high school uniform and my face and other appearances were the same.

Spectacled mob student with black hair, middle part, medium face and medium face.

This was my high school days.

"What's wrong? Shingo-kun"

Continuing, when I saw the woman in the same uniform who woke me, she was very familiar.

While in high school, a woman I like.

Because it was Shizuka Ijuin, an idol at Sakuragaoka High School.

Become a student council president, and both ways

But it has good personality and is loved by classmates and juniors.

Many men are sending love letters or confessing, and they're freaking out.

I just said she couldn't even do that.

Naturally, there shouldn't be any conversations, but she was calling her.

"No, anything. Um, let's go home soon? Mr. Ijuin"

"Shingo-kun, call me Shizuka"

"Well, really?"

Right now I didn't feel any discomfort to act as Shingo Ichinomiya instead of Wenderin.

I'm supposed to go to the forest with Elle, Blanc Tak, and the Muscle Guru to protect the demon, but I don't think this situation is strange.

"Um ... Shizuka"

"Yes, Shingo-kun"

In high school, she was a longing idol who had never even talked to her.

You who call her by abandonment.

She gradually became aware of her face becoming hot.

"Shingo-kun"

"Yes"

"Everyone is back."

The time is 6:30 in the evening, leaving only those who are on the ground for club activities.

There were only two people left in the classroom.

"So I"

She turned her face to me and closed her eyes.

"(This is it! This is maybe!)"

She wants me to kiss.

Perhaps the reason I thought about the possibility of garbage in my eyes was because I was still non-mote.

Because I thought it was an urban legend except for stories, such as kissing in the classroom after school.

"(But if you panic here, there is an unexpected failure! While taking a deep breath ...)

As expected, I am a non-mote.

Your heart was already wrapped up in the hustle and bustle just before the outbreak of World War.

However, once a woman has done this, she just kisses herself.

"(I'm glad to be alive!)"

While thinking so, I closed my eyes and put my lips on her.

Continuously, they hold each other with their hands on their backs.

Although it is not the first time, the inexperienced kiss was wonderful.

Soft lips feel to the good smell peculiar to high school girls.

In addition, the touch of her soft body elevates my heart.

I want to do this forever.

"(I feel the best.)"

However, there is a very innocent man who shakes my shoulder at the height of such happiness.

To be such a great time in the way, it would be fine for me who is kind to me.

Now, a good prey for advanced magic.

I open my eyes, shivering in anger.

There was a scene of hell in front of me.

In the evening classroom, I should have kissed my longing idol Shizuka.

In front of me, I saw a rectangular, gigantic face in front of me, somehow a pineapple kato, and under my nose, a close-up of the face of a muscular guru with a good Kaiser beard.

"Finally, it looks like we're awake!"

"Um, guru?"

I must have kissed my uncle in high school, and when I woke up, I saw the face of a muscle guru in front of me.

Furthermore, I had my hand on my muscle guru's back, and my guru was around my back and hugging each other.

"I do not want to admit!"

Even though I felt the best, a lie wouldn't be a lie unless it was barred.

Even if your back and shoulders are gradually squeezing with the embracing power of the muscular guru, even if the power is so strong that Reto is likely to enter the bones of the body.

If I didn't wake up, I would have been happy.

"I understand the feeling, but let's face the reality."

It seems that Elle was behind me shaking my shoulder.

Moreover, he somehow kept his eyes out of Blantark.

The reason seems to be obvious.

"Thus, 'Momoka Hippo' uses a kind of illusion that invites people to desire for color! Do you understand why you did not bring women this time?"

Indeed, it is bad to hear Elle, Guru and Blantark kissing Elise, Ena and Luise.

If you are bad, another noble will say, "Aren't these slutty girls worthy of Baron Bymeister's fiance? Instead, my daughter… ”.

So the guru would have brought us here without even explaining the situation to Mr. Blantaq.

"Yes ... by the way, guru"

"What?"

"Excuse me!"

When I forcibly unscrew the muscle guru who is still hugging, I move to the nearby bush as it is.

And ...

"Woooooo! It's a trauma of a living thing!"

"Sometimes, I usually like women ..."

Pia: With a trauma who kissed the muscular guru, I continued to speak for a while in the shadow of the grass.

"But this hippo. It's like being on guard because I'm a protected animal ..."

"Um, vel. Because the hippopotamus doesn't get in the way ..."

After all, we tried to protect the hippo several times, but all the results failed.

I succeeded in planting about three traumas in my mind in total.

Next is the baseball club room of the junior high school I was attending.

I liked being a replacement for a perennial player, and supposedly kissed a cute classmate manager, but Blanták on the top of the Buddha stared at me.

"Thank you for your passionate kiss."

"Blantark must somehow prevent that hippopotamus!"

"I didn't like it because I couldn't!"

Indeed, no one gets the request.

Blantaq doesn't help anything.

"Try again"

"I know I'm going to fail ... this isn't Blanc-Taak."

"I can't help it because it's such a contract!"

As expected, the third time failed.

The stage moves to the waiting room of the soccer club, which I participated in as a primary school child, where a classmate who was a cute girl who loved me but was good at soccer quietly closed her eyes.

I mean, why did I just like this unreasonable daughter?

The lack of an option to look at reality is the only way to say that he was non-mote.

"Ell ..."

"Vell ..."

"That ..."

"Don't tell everyone ..."

The first kiss with a muscle guru is the finest trauma.

Isn't Elle still in a good category compared to Blanták, who seems to smell like alcohol for the second time, and who seems to smell aging before that?

This guy has a good face.

But when I think so, I feel like I lost something.

Ell thought about the same thing and told me not to say anything.

"So what do you do for the fourth time?"

"At least I did the challenge. I'll be back."

Blantaq had just started to prepare for his return to school.

"But do you leave the hippo as it is?"

"I guess it wouldn't be possible to do harm to that one."

Or rather, I didn't know why I had to move the hippo to the reserve.

Before that genjutsu, no poacher will be able to reach out.

"In fact, when the guards go to see him in the morning ..."

If there is only one poacher, he is hugging and kissing the tree, and if there are two or more poachers, he seems to have done more terrible things.

Whether it is a man or a woman.

"There have been many cases where adventurers have been involved in tragedy in conservation missions."

When you realize, you are a male and female adventurer who has been involved in such a relationship and has to take responsibility and get married.

It seems that many people have just awakened to homosexuality.

"I can't bring Elise."

"Correct"

Homosexuality is a sin of heresy for church officials.

It is unproductive and morally inferior.

When found, they were usually subjected to severe punishment.

"If you see the kiss of Vell and the Guru, you'll be stunned."

"Elle and Blanc Tak"

The extraordinary mission ended in failure, but no penalty was imposed because the other adventurers all refused.

In addition, although the problem was “Pink Hippo”, when the eggs hatched, they seemed to have voluntarily moved to a protected area with their parents.

It was a completely unworkable day.

"I went home and asked Elise, Luise, and Ena to make a restatement, and the number would be zero."

"No, considering the impact of a guru alone ...."

Still, I am the one who will make the reshuffle with Elise.

And it was a day when I came to think, "I don't have to go back to Shingo Ichinomiya anymore."
