Chapter 12: You Just Want to Cop a Feel, Don’t You?

The wind blew in from outside the window, and the curtains floated gently with the breeze.

Sunlight shone through the window onto the bed, where a blonde young girl was lying.

The young girl seemed to be sleeping very soundly, completely unaware of her surroundings.

Beside her was another girl with dark blue hair, holding a black greatsword.

The dark blue-haired girl looked at the sleeping blonde girl, a slight smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

“Goodbye~ Trash.”

Saying this, the dark blue-haired girl raised the greatsword in her hands, about to swing it down at the girl on the bed…

‘Click.’

“Um… Aisilis… where did you put the salad dressing?”

Pushing the door open, I saw Aisilis sitting quietly on the chair by the bed.

Aisilis lifted her head, smiling as she looked at me.

“It’s under the cabinet in the kitchen~ Yuren.”

“Oh… I see. Do you want to eat something too, Aisilis?”

“No, thank you~ Yuren. I’m not hungry today.”

Looking at the ever-smiling Aisilis, I felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Although Aisilis kept smiling, it felt like she was holding something back.

‘Whatever… I’ll just eat first, and then go out and ask around for some information.’

With that thought, just as I was about to close the door…

“By the way, Aisilis, did you hear a strange sound just now… like a bird’s call?”

“No!”

“I-is that so… Maybe I misheard… Hehehe…”

Looking at Aisilis’s flat denial, I closed the door.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that she was acting very strange today.

Smiling as she watched Yuren Xing close the door, Aisilis let out a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, her face turned gloomy as she looked at the blonde young girl lying on the bed…

‘Tsk… you’re lucky.

Although

I really want to kill you right now, but I can’t do it yet. It would be terrible if the people found out. I don’t want to be hated by the people.”

Aisilis reached out and touched the face of the blonde girl lying on the bed.

“Pray that the people won’t mind you, otherwise I don’t recommend letting you sleep all the time.”

A dangerous expression appeared on Aisilis’s face.

“Phew~ phew~”

Whistling, I strolled leisurely down the street.

Several hours had passed since I left home and started wandering around the city.

I had intended to gather some information, but after several hours, I had come up with nothing.

“It’s none of my business anyway, so why am I so enthusiastic about it… And in the end, I got nothing… Mmm… maybe if I go back to that sewer one more time, I might find something.”

And so, I once again came to the sewer where I had slipped and fallen.

Good… still no cover.

I don’t know what the city guards are doing. It’s so obvious here, yet they haven’t come to deal with the missing manhole cover…

Faced with this three-meter-high, ladder-less sewer entrance, I fell silent…

So now the question is, excavator… ahem… how do I get down?

Am I supposed to jump down from here like last time? But considering the height, only a fool would do such a thing.

Although I’ve been a fool once before, that was forced.

And the fact that I didn’t die from the fall last time, I have to say I should thank the heavens.

Otherwise, just imagine, the first male protagonist in history to die from falling into a sewer… mmm, a masterpiece…

Since I can’t jump down directly, I can only use tools…

“If I just had a rope at this moment, it would be much easier…”

“Hmm? What does Yuren need a rope for?”

“Nothing, I just need to get down into this sewer… ? Aisilis?”

I looked at Aisilis, who had appeared beside me at some unknown time.

“Why are you out? And how did you find me?”

“Because Yuren has been out for several hours and still hasn’t come back. I was worried about Yuren, so I came out to see. As for how I found Yuren… Mmm~~”

Aisilis tilted her head, tapping her chin with her finger as she thought.

“I found Yuren by following his scent~”

‘Are you a dog?’

Although I was strongly complaining in my heart, I knew that if I said it out loud now, I would be finished.

“I-is that so… following the scent, huh…”

For some reason, my heart suddenly became complicated.

If one day your girlfriend told you she could find you by following your scent… I wonder how you all would feel.

“So, Yuren? Why do you need to go down this sewer?”

“It’s complicated to explain, but I need to go down there now to see if I can find anything useful.”

In detective dramas, when the protagonist is at a standstill in a case, as long as they revisit the crime scene, they can often find the crucial piece of evidence they missed the first time…

And now, I, Yuren Xing Holmes, will be taking my assistant, Aisilis Watson, to the first scene where Liya was discovered…

Very good, the first problem we need to solve has appeared: how do we get down?

“Is Yuren troubled about not being able to get down?”

“Mmm, Aisilis, do you have a rope… no, sorry, for asking such a stupid question.”

“I don’t have a rope, but I can take Yuren down with me~ After all, I’m also a swordsman.”

“…That’s right.”

I really wanted to slap myself twice right now.

I have an assistant by my side who could destroy a city, and I’m still thinking about a rope…

But… for an assistant to be more powerful than me, the protagonist… that’s quite arrogant.

What’s with this sudden feeling of displeasure…

After speaking, Aisilis opened her arms.

“Come on~ Yuren❤”

“? What for?”

“To hold me tight, of course~ I’m going to take Yuren down, but it would be terrible if Yuren didn’t hold on tight and accidentally fell.”

“Is that so?”

Faced with my suspicious gaze, Aisilis stared straight at me with her bright eyes…

1… 2… 3… I lost. I was the first to look away, not daring to look at Aisilis anymore.

In this staring contest, I was thoroughly defeated.

Doesn’t this child know what shyness is?

Looking at Aisilis, who still had her arms open, I resigned myself to my fate and hugged her.

Question: What does it feel like to be in Aisilis’s embrace?

Answer: No different from hugging a normal man.

And the reason for this feeling of no difference from hugging a man, no matter how I think about it, is definitely the fault of her chest…

Aisilis’s chest, limited by the order of the world, is as flat and vast as the sea, without a single ripple.

Mmm, in the end, is it the world that’s at fault?

‘So cute!’

When Yuren had the staring contest with me, he was so cute~ And when he looked away with a red face, he was also cute…

No matter how I look at it, Yuren is so cute~

Well, although I don’t know why Yuren wants to go down there, now is a good opportunity to make Yuren hug me proactively.

I never really paid much attention before, but now that I think about it, Yuren has never hugged me proactively. Faced with such an opportunity now, of course, I won’t give it up.

Wish granted Yuren hugged me… so great… the first time Yuren has proactively hugged me.

Although it’s a bit of a pity that I’m not the only one Yuren has hugged. That b*tch… I really want to cut her up right now. But whatever, let me enjoy this moment.

I’m currently holding Aisilis in my arms.

Because of our height difference, I’m a head taller than Aisilis, so I can clearly smell the fragrance emanating from her hair.

I don’t know what brand of shampoo Aisilis uses… it smells so good.

Thinking this, I couldn’t help but take a deep breath…

Oh no… this is dangerous. I almost got lost in it and couldn’t pull myself out…

How am I any different from those perverted creepy uncles who like to smell the scent of young girls?

No, if you have to say there’s a difference, there is one. After all, this is my legal fiancée.

Thinking this, my heart immediately felt much more at ease…

“By the way, Aisilis… aren’t we hugging a bit too tight?”

“Not at all, Yuren~ How could that be? sniff~ exhale~ sniff~ exhale~”

Looking at this Aisilis in my arms, who occasionally rubbed her head against me and made various kinds of inexplicable sounds, I felt a bit of a headache…

I feel like I’m being played by Aisilis, and she’s now taking advantage of me with a clear conscience.

“Um, Aisilis, I was just thinking, let’s forget about it. I’ll go find a rope and then go down.”

“No!!!”

As she said this, Aisilis hugged me even tighter.

And the ‘sniff-exhale’ sounds she was making became faster and faster…

“Ai… Aisilis. What are you doing?”

“sniff-exhale sniff-exhale sniff-exhale sniff-exhale sniff-exhale sniff-exhale sniff-exhale“

No reply, but the ‘sniff-exhale’ sounds became even faster…

Just as I was wondering whether to push Aisilis away, she finally stopped.

“Charging complete. Alright, Yuren❤, let’s go down~”

Aisilis lifted her head and smiled at me.

“Eh???”

Before I could react, we appeared at the bottom of the sewer…

“Wasn’t that quick? Why did we have to spend so much time up there just now?”

Faced with my question, Aisilis answered with a smile.

“Because I wanted to smell Yuren’s scent a little longer~”

Enough… don’t talk about scents anymore…

On this day, I was deceitfully taken advantage of by my fiancée.
