Chapter 19: [Short Story] I Don't Understand

Zect POV

"Oh, God, why do I have to go through all this trouble after hunting and questing is over?"

"Mel, don't say that... even though you're exempt from other tasks."

"But, Zect, it's such a pain in the ass... I have to regularly write down where we bought what, everything, and even what we're going to do in the future... Really, Ceres used to do this kind of thing. I can honestly say I respect him now... "

At this moment, Mel's face was dark with dark circles in her eyes.

She was no longer the pretty girl she used to be as she scratched her head.

"I'm sorry, Mel... that's all I can say..."

"Huff... I'm tired of being told off in church for my messy handwriting and lack of planning when I've been working so hard."

"That's why... we shared the same anger! There's nothing more I can do too."

"I know, I know... huff, I can't help it."

This is how Mel always throws tantrums...

* * *

"I'm sorry, Zect, but I need you to do the laundry today."

At first, I was assigned the job, but the cooking was tough, and the laundry was rough, so the three of us, except for Mel, took turns doing the chores.

"Lida, I'm a man. I don't want to wash women's underwear."

"I see... Zect must have played it easy because you don't have to take care of the holy sword. You just need to wipe it and be done. But, you see, my sword loses its cutting ability immediately if I don't take care of it properly!? The other day, I couldn't cut Ogre's arm; it was almost a disaster! I really don't want to go through that again!"

Well, I'll ask Maria to do it.

"Maria, I'm sorry, can you do it instead?"

"Nope! I have to go medicine shopping and make dinner! Also, can you stop to force me to do everything... like the other day..."

Oh, for God's sake...

"Reall, it's my fault." N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

Why do I have to wash women's underwear now that I'm a hero?

I have to admit... it was a complete error of judgment on my part to kick Ceres out.

After all, I don't think I would have thought that he was the one we needed most in our party... not the three, who were a saint, a wise man, and a saint sword.

"Hey, guys... C-Can we ask Ceres to come back?"

After all of this... we really needed him.

But we shouldn't have chosen to go back, even for a short distance and a few days, without proceeding with the trip.

The church must be complaining again...

Yeah, that's what I said. Really... I'm a demon!

I'm getting too carried away... I'm a fool.

I took my best friend's girl, and then I banished him.

If I were in his shoes, I'd never agree and be pissed.

But this guy...

'Don't worry about it, Zect! Next time we see each other, we'll smile and talk... also, thank you for your help until now. I hope you four live happily ever after!'

And then he left.

It must have been hard for him...

'Next time we see each other, we'll smile and talk.'

That's the opposite of the feeling that even he can't laugh now.

I mean, how can I laugh at something so unreasonable.

I'm a womanizer... but I shouldn't have messed with Mel.

I should never have touched my best friend's girl.

I'm such a fuck-up.

"This won't bring Ceres back... I've hurt him so much... what do I do? I didn't mean to do this," said Mel.

"No, Mel, it's cruel to say this, but you knew what you were doing. However, I was getting carried away, too," said Zect.

"Lida..." said Mel.

"I'm just as guilty as you are... and we're going to have to offer the Ceres something to make up for it," said Lida.

"That's right... let's think about it for a while."

"""You're right (That's right)..."""

Thus, the price for Ceres, which I'm sure the three girls understand.

I took his girl and his place, and the least I can do is give it back.

So do I give Mel back... no.

Will Ceres accept a girl who has hurt him so much?

I don't think so...

Then... it's Lida or Maria.

No... they're not like Mel... and I love them.

I don't know what to do now...
