When we're done, my anger is almost completely gone.
"…Fitts, we'll remember this nya…"
"Like, fakku nano…"
The two of them are making resentful expressions. Both of their eyebrows are joined together into a monobrow, and there are eyes drawn on their eyelids. There's a beard that looks like something a thief might have drawn on their faces.
And then on their cheeks.
『I'm a cat who lost to Rudeus』 『I'm a dog who lost to Rudeus』
It's a new style of bodypainting. It's a bit arousing, huh.
"I've used a paint that a certain clan uses to leave tattoos on their bodies. If I use a special chant it won't come off for the rest of your life."
It seems to be such a paint. I guess it's this world's tattoo. Speaking of which, I saw such a thing a number of times during my adventurer days.
"It won't disappear if you just wash it with water you know. If you oppose Rudeus again, I'll use magic to make sure it doesn't disappear for your whole life!"
"I, I get it nya, I won't do such a thing nya."
"…I like get it nano."
The two nodded whilst trembling in trepidation. They're making some pretty terrible expressions, huh? If it becomes permanent they probably won't be able to become brides. Fitts-senpai is pretty nasty as well.
"You can leave for today, but you'll be spending all of tomorrow like that. If you do so, I'll erase it for you. However, the stuff on your bodies I won't erase for half a year!"
"I get it, please forgive us nya."
"…-sniff-"
Pursena is in tears. By the way, some pretty indecent words are written on their backs. If it becomes permanent they'll probably live in shame for the rest of their lives.
Since we'd get in trouble if the two of them are seen in the hallway, they left from the window. It's the 2nd floor here, but it'll probably be okay. It's only the 2nd floor after all.
Just before leaving, as if she suddenly remembered, Rinia asked,
"Boss, even though you're just a magician, what kind of training did you do to be able to see my movements?"
"I didn't do anything special. I just followed my Shishou's teachings and did things like she said."
The training that I did with Eris wasn't for nothing, I guess. I always thought of myself as weak. Comparing myself to Eris's growth, I had thought that I wasn't growing at all. However, it seems that we were just growing at different rates, and I might have become strong as well.
"Who's your Shishou, nya?"
"Umm, it's Ghyslaine I guess."
"By Ghyslaine… you mean my aunt?"
"Yeah, that's right. Ghyslaine the Sword King."
"…I see nya."
Saying that, she made an accepting expression.
"Bye then, nya."
"Later, boss. I'm like really sorry about the doll nano."
Said the two, and they left.
"Sorry, Rudeus-kun. Even though I'm unrelated, I got carried away."
"No, it was good to see the two of them afraid like that."
More importantly.
"You said that you'd need a special chant, but if there were others who knew the chant wouldn't it be bad?"
It seems the two don't really know, but the tool has already been used and this chant isn't something that only Fitts-senpai knows. If someone chanted the spell as a joke… Thinking this, I feel they're a little pitiful.
"Eh? Ah, mmn, that was a lie."
Fitts-senpai spoke rather blankly.
"There certainly is a paint like that, but the one I used was just a normal one for drawing magic circles. It'll come off in the wash."
Fitts-senpai spoke while giggling. Almost like a child whose prank succeeded. I relaxed.
