I noticed something while talking to Sakyurama. And that is... I can tell her anything.
It was as if I had been enchanted by a spell.
Is it because Sakyurama inherited the blood of a succubus, a lustful demon that never ceases to captivate people's hearts?
I thought to myself, even though it might be a little rude. With that in mind, I told her about it.
"It's easy to talk to Sakyura." "Is that so? It's the first time I've ever heard someone say that to me."
"I guess you could say it's reassuring to talk to you. For some reason, I can tell you things that I've never told anyone else." "I'm honored that you would say that to me, Charles-sama."
Sakyurama had a gentle smile. Maybe it was this part that made me think so.
"If it's not a bother, I'd be happy if you could listen to what I have to say, even if it's just once in a while." It's not as serious as what the nuns listened to, and it's fine if it's just small talk.
That's what I think.
"Yes. I'd be happy to hear from you." Sakyurama happily agreed. What a nice girl.
"Yes. I'll look forward to it then." And with that, the conversation ended for now.
"Now that I think of it, I don't know anything about the work of a Sakyura." "Yes." "If you don't mind, could you tell me?"
"Yes. I am being looked after at the orphanage next to the church." "Yes." "I am taking care of the small children there while working as a nun apprentice." A nun is a perfect job for the gentle Sakyurama. Or so I thought.
"So, your lodgings are also your workplace." "Yes." "Can you use healing magic?"
"Yes. I'm half-succubus, so I seem to have more magical ability than the average person, and I can use mid-level healing magic and simple attack magic." "You can use attack magic even though you're just an apprentice nun? That's amazing."
It's not like nuns can't use holy magic for attacking, but that's something that's ranked somewhere around high level. Nuns who can do it are really rare.
So, a nun who can use offensive magic is quite a valuable resource.
"It's really just basic offensive magic. I can't use high-level holy magic.""It's pretty rare to have a nun who can use offensive magic that isn't holy magic. I think that has a lot to do with Sakyura's origins." "As Charles said, I don't see many demon or mixed race nuns, or rather, I don't see any at all. Most people become mages."
"That's probably because they are better suited for it. It means that Sakyura who can use both is rare." "My abilities are still immature, but will I be able to be useful?" "That will depend on Sakyura from now on." Honestly, I don't know either. However.
"Sakyura is still young, and your talents should be above average. Who knows what kind of talents you will develop in the future." "I hope so." As I was talking, I came across some kids who were engrossed in playing house.
"I'm Eucharlouch! Take this, Brave Arts!!"
Brave Arts is not the name of a technique but a general term for the techniques, but I don't shout out the name of each technique every time I use it like the protagonist of a fictional story.
So, there was no way they could know what kind of technique I was using of the Brave Arts. I watched them with a smile. "You're really popular, Charles-sama."
"Well, kids admire strong and cool people, after all." That's not to say I'm cool or anything. What's cool is the existence of a hero.
A hero of justice, armed with special moves called the Brave Arts. That's probably how the kids perceive it.
They got along like that for a while, but then they started fighting over who would take on the role of the next Eucharlouch. I watched the situation for a while, but it looked like it was going to escalate into a fistfight, so I reluctantly stepped in as an adult to stop it.
"Hey, hey, Eucharlouch is not such a big role that you have to fight with your friends to play it. I recommend that everyone take turns and play it together."
"What's up with you, you girly bro? Don't underestimate Eucharlouch, okay? He's the best hero in Braidea, you know?"
"Of course I know, I'm the real Eucharlouch after all. Anyway, you should get along with your friends. Friends are irreplaceable treasures, you know?"
"Well, I'd heard about it, but you're such a skinny guy. You look like a girl. My dad looks a lot stronger than you!"
"That's right. Your dad has a family and is raising you well, so he's much better than me, who is wandering aimless at this age."
"Is my dad better than you brother?" "Yeah, he's great." "That's the first time I've heard an adult say that." "You can play with your friends because your dad works hard. You're lucky to have such a great dad." "Yeah, he can get a little angry, but he's the best dad in the world!... He can't stand up to my mom though."
His family seems to be happy. I'm a little jealous. "Big brother, you're Lord Eucharlouch, right?" Another child calls out to me. "Yeah, that's right." "Then show us your Brave Arts."
"Sorry, but Brave Arts are not for show. I can't show them that often." "Eh, stingy." The children's reactions are very childish. It's endearing. "Well, I may be stingy." I say, as I bend down to meet the child's gaze.
"Brave Arts are the secret techniques of the hero and should only be used when absolutely necessary. It's cooler that way, right?" I advise him while stroking his head. "You're right, it might be cooler that way!" He doesn't throw a tantrum and agrees.
The children of my Braidea territory are really cute. I'm really looking forward to their future. While I was thinking this, "Are you on a date with such a cute big sister?" Another kid started asking me a prank question.
"Did you hear, Sakyura? Even the kids say you're cute." "I can't believe saying that I'm cute..." Sakyurama blushes again. It seems she's not used to being complimented.
"Yeah, she's really cute." "Yeah, I'm on a date with that really cute girl. You're probably jealous." I answer puffing out my chest.
"Did you kiss her? Kiss~" "...!" Sakyurama's face turns even redder at the question.
"No, I haven't." I answered right away. "You guys are adults, right? Really?" "It's true." I answered without hesitation.
The kids seemed to be convinced by my overly dignified attitude. I'm planning to do much more amazing things tonight, but I'm not lying. "Can you call it a date if you haven't even kissed?" "You kids might not understand yet, but..." "Yes." "You should be as gentlemanly as possible when dating, you know? I don't want you to get the wrong idea." "I see..."
"The reason I can date such a cute girl is because I'm a hero." "Yeah." "You guys should try your best to hone one skill, too. If you do that, you'll be popular with the girls, right?"
I encourage them with such words to be more ambitious. Being popular with the girls is a noble goal.
"Isn't the reason you're so popular with girls because you're a prince?"
He countered. However.
"I'm dating her because of a connection that has nothing to do with the royal family, so that's not correct." It's not a royal connection, it's a hero connection.
The nun entrusted me with her precious sister's first time.
Being a hero was a prerequisite, but that doesn't mean that just any hero would do.
This story wouldn't have happened if the nun hadn't known who I am, so at least half of it is due to my everyday behavior. "If you want to be popular, you have to become a good man. Like me. Well, it will be ten years before that happens." "Eh, you have such a feminine face, you don't look like a real man." "What!"
I was aware that I was a delicate looking guy, but I couldn't help but be shocked to hear someone say it so bluntly to my face. Sakyurama chuckled as she watched me interact with the kids.
With the peaceful silly chatter coming to an end, Sakyurama and I said goodbye to the children.
