Asuka of the Scarlet Sky - Chapter 11

 World’s Hero and the Treasure tool (3)

「…Eh? What did you say just right now?」

On our way back from the castle, Asuka’s face paled as if she’s dying.

「I said that I had a quarrel with Captain Risty」

Yuuto walking next to Asuka is playing with dead leaves in his right hand as if he lost interest. Asuka is looked at that Yuuto with amazement.

「F-Fight, you mean. …Why?」

Asuka forgetting why he was angry, Yuuto looked at him as if saying ‘what are you doing?’ Yuuto stopped moving to Asuka’s question.

「…She made a fool out of me. Calling me a small fry even if I’m in 908th rank. Even you would feel offended with that right?」
「G-getting offended, you」¹

Yuuto mixed in some lies. Asuka who’s unaware of it stares at Yuuto. ‘Just what had you done?’, she was worried.

「It can’t be helped. You’re keeping your ability as a secret after all. So even I would get angry if they called you a small fry」

Asuka sighed as she’s having a headache. Yuuto told that Asuka that it’s fine.

「Isn’t it okay? If I get serious, even captain Risty would be instantly killed. There’s no problem」
「There’s a lot of problems! A lot! Why did it come to you being able to kill nor not kill! Risty-sama is a superior! A superior! We’re just assigned, why did you set your eyes on the superior suddenly!」

‘Aah, geez’, Asuka dishevel her head. Right now, Yuuto and Asuka are public servants. Of course, Yuuto understands Asuka’s complains.
Yuuto himself is a type that stays away from the discord as much as possible.

「Well, I’m really fine. In the end, for some reason that person laughed」
「L-laugh you say. It’s surely a laugh about putting you down. That must be」

‘Hii’ she shouted in unease, Asuka glanced sideways ang Yuuto recalled the events from earlier.

『Hou. Your angry for your master not for yourself? At least you have some manliness in you. …Well, hang in there」

Saying that, Risty went away while laughing. Leaving with her palm opened, it was provoking for Yuuto.,
‘That brown loli’, Yuuto grit his teeth in frustration.

「W-well. There’s no use thinking about it. Apart from that, listen. During today’s soldier meting, the princess decided to give me an alias」

Without realizing Yuuto’s expression as she was walking at his back, Asuka matched her arms happily. Yuuto turned as he heard Asuka said an unfamiliar word.

「Alias?」
