I Became a Retired Warrior Who Suffered NTR in the Novel

19 – Illuen

“Huhhhhh.

Even after I left the banquet hall and returned to my room, I was still running around haughtily, still not feeling well.

Worried about me like this, Lucia came in with me.

“Thank you. Warrior.”

“Huh? What am I?”

“You got angry for me.”

Lucia’s smiling smile…

I thought it was nothing because it was a bright smile that I usually see often, but today I saw that smile for the first time.

“Of course I am angry. Didn’t Lucia get angry when she heard it?”

“….. I got it.”

“Then why did you hold back? Trust me and blow a word.”

“hahahaha, I’m not good at things like that because of my personality… I’ve been through a lot since I was young, so I’m not that angry right now.”

I’ve been through it since I was a child…

Then it would mean that I grew up receiving the same discrimination as today…

“When I was young, I lived together in the forest of elves, similar to this place, and even though I was discriminated against, it wasn’t as severe as it is now.”

“Then did you buy separately after that?”

“Yes. It might be right to say that I was kicked out after writing that I bought it separately…”

“So? How was it after that?”

“There were many times when I was driven to a wasteland where there was nothing other than a forest and starved, and there were days when I was attacked by monsters, but I was happy in my own way. Living among the same half-elves, I naturally built a village, provided lodging and meals to human travelers passing through the wasteland, and got paid for it, leading a good life…”

Lucia suddenly started to shed tears from her eyes except for her words, and she couldn’t continue the conversation that had been cut off for a long time, as if she had some bad memories.

“If you don’t want to bring it up, you don’t have to. If it’s okay later, we can talk about it then.”

“……”

Although Lucia didn’t say her words, her guess was that something traumatic had happened to her that she would definitely never forget.

“Sleep in this room today, Lucia. I can sleep on the sofa over there.”

“No. I’m fine.”

“I don’t know what harm those elves will do, so let’s sleep here today.”

“…..”

There’s no way they’d do anything since it’s the same warrior’s party and I, the hero, are by your side.

Still, just in case, I had to sleep on the sofa in the living room while Lucia slept on the bed in her room.

Smart

Is it because I slept on a hard sofa?

I slept later than usual, but I was awakened by a knock on the door.

“Hero, I will go.”

Lucia, who had finished her grooming, went to the door and opened it…

“Yes. Who are you…”

Jumping.

As soon as the door was opened, Lucia’s body stopped for a moment…

“Lucia, who are you?”

She slightly raises her head and looks at her door. I don’t think anything has happened because I see Lucia standing still…

“Go away. On the subject of dirty mongrel…”

It was the sound coming from the door, but it was definitely not Lucia’s voice.

Just listening to it, the hairs all over her body were standing up.

“Kalos~”

An elf with a piercing voice and a lot of charm mixed with his nose slapped Lucia on the shoulder and came inside.

“This… Illuen?”

“Oh my, what is it? Did you sleep on the couch? No. Why!? Without sleeping in the bed?”

“What do you think…”

Why is Iluen, which should be in the Elven Kingdom, here in the Elven Forest…

It’s not a distance that can be reached in one day…

“Hey, mongrel? You dare to marinate Carlos here? Do you sleep in bed for the lowest number of years?”

“……”

A double-faced Illuen who smiles brightly when talking to me and always talks while glaring at Lucia with a prey-like look…

I had shown myself that way before, so I remembered it well.

“I told you to sleep inside. So don’t say anything to Lucia.”

“Still~ Carlos is a great warrior who has to fight the devil~”

“How did you know this place?”

“Finally, when Carlos said you were passing through the elven forest, I put aside my busy work and came running!”

“It’s the village chief…”

“Ugh… Huh?”

The only person to talk to Iluen was the village headman, and when I asked him now, Iluen was taken aback and stuttered.

“Should I have breakfast? Carlos? What do you want to eat? I brought the cooks from the kingdom too? Anything you want to eat, tell me!”

“I’m busy. We’re leaving right now.”

“Ah~ Passing through this forest will save you about a day~ So, let’s eat breakfast and set off~”

“Lucia, are you ready to leave? I’ll wash up quickly and leave.”

In order to leave this place quickly, I spoke to Lucia, who was standing far away and only her head was bowed down, then I hugged my arm tightly from the side, shook off Iluen’s arms that were clinging to each other, and headed to the bathroom. .

“What? Carlos? Are you going to take that mongrel b*tch with you? Once you’ve eaten, isn’t it time to throw it away?”

“Do you think Lucia is you? Be careful with your words. It’s a warrior party.”

“Poop… A half-hearted party like that? Are you telling me to smile right now? Huh? Yes?”

“Because this room doesn’t have a half name? Iluen? Can you call me Lucia? Is it difficult to memorize those three letters? That handsome and mighty high elf?”

“……”

“Why? You don’t understand what a lower race like me is saying, do you?”

“….!!!”

I have to try to forget it so I can’t forget it.

What she said to me…

When she was at the hero’s party, she was so charming and friendly, but in an instant, she turned into a demon more terrifying than the demon king…

*****

The cold air between the hero and Iluen ended when the hero entered the bathroom, and Iluen was sitting on the sofa with a serious face biting her nails.

“Damn… I remembered… I remembered… Damn…”

Frightened by Illuen’s mental seizure-like behavior, Lucia tried to get as far away from her as possible,

She was hoping that in the end she would get out of her sight, holding her breath in her eyes.

“Hey, mongrel. Why don’t you stop flirting with Carlos now?”

“…..”

“Do you think a dirty half like you deserves the reputation of a warrior party?”

“…..”

“You filthy halves, please live among lower humans! Why do you keep pretending to be an elf while imitating an elf!”

“My…My…My name is…”

“What?”

“My… Name is Lucia! Not a dirty half!”

Lucia is well aware of Iluen’s identity.

Ordinary elves can’t even look at it…

A lower half elf is a high elf who wouldn’t even dare to talk…

If I did this alone in the elven forest or in the elven kingdom, I would have lost my life without even realizing it.

But when Lucia thinks that her hero is by her side, she has a courage she could never have imagined.

“What? Do you think you know who I am?”

“This… Illuen-sama.”

“I am Princess Illuen, who has the right to succeed as queen of the elven kingdom. I’m not in a position to mingle with lowly b*tches like you.”

“……”

“Looks like you can’t handle a bow or a sword, do you think someone like you would be suitable for a warrior’s party?”

Iluen came up to Lucia and she openly ignored her while patting her shoulder with her index finger.

Every time that happened, Lucia’s expression didn’t change at all and she accepted everything.

“I think you are mistaken as if you were at a warrior party because you gave your body to a hero once? Wake. Carlos treats everything just like you, as long as you give him his body, right?”

“I… Never did.”

“Heh… Then, would you like to see it? What will happen if I and Carlos have a relationship?”

“……”

“Think about it. Even that lowly human, Carlos, has eyes. Can a lowly mongrel like you compare to a noble high elf like me?”

Lucia shook her head as she got it out of her head, closing her eyes tightly at the thought that she might be kicked out and that Iluen might come into her warrior party.

“As expected… Illuen, you don’t change, do you?”

“Eh.. Huh!!?”

The hero, who thought it would take a long time in her bathroom, came back sooner than expected, and Iluen was so surprised that even her shoulders were lifted, and then looked towards her entrance.

Lucia, like Illuen, looked at the hero with teary eyes.

“Let’s go. Lucia. It’s a year that’s not even worth dating.”

“…..”

Lucia noticed Illuen, who was still standing with a surprised face, and she slowly approached the entrance where the hero was standing.

As the hero approached Lucia somewhat, she grabbed her hand and headed outside.

“Yo.. Hero!!”

The village chief, who had been waiting at the gate, continued to call for the hero heading towards the center of the village.

Ignoring that, the hero arrived at the wagon with Lucia and found it from Roman.

“Roman.”

“Yes! Warrior!”

“Can we leave right now?”

“That’s…”

Roman didn’t go to the carriage even after listening to the warrior’s words…

“Hero!!”

And the village chief chased after calling a hero from the door.

“It’s a big deal!”

“Is it a big deal?”

“J.. Right now, the forest heading towards the Fjord Empire is on fire and we are stranded!”

“Yes!?”

After hearing the village chief’s words, the hero came to suspect the fragrant wood-like smell that he thought was just the elves preparing breakfast.

The smell got stronger and stronger as it went on, and then it changed to an acrid smell, and only then did the warrior feel that it was unusual.

“Now all the village elves are running there to turn it off, but it doesn’t look easy because of the strong wind!”

He was a warrior who didn’t think that the elves, who were careful about the fire in the forest, could not even turn on the wagon’s light.

“Carlos, we elves will evolve soon, so let’s go home. Shouldn’t we eat breakfast?”

He was only glaring at Illuen, who was approaching this situation with a very calm face and raising the corner of his mouth.
