NOVEL NEXT Chapter 28: Chapter 28
We came out of the weapon shop. I gestured Alna. She looked around and noticed them.
My luck is too good today. Motoyasu's party is nearby.
When I was thinking what to do after this, Alna did something unexpected. She started running towards them.
"I suspected that this could happen, but I never thought that this would really happen!"
"What happened Mr. Shield Hero?" Raphtalia asked me
"Raphtalia.. Rifana.. don't say anything until I tell you. If you say anything before that, then I will leave you behind." I said while looking at them.
I know I was being too harsh but I had to do it to instill fear in them.
"we won't say anything."
"Yeah."
"Good."
Alna went near Motoyasu and grabbed his hand.
"You are the spear hero, right? I was looking for you for a long time." Alna said
"Really? But... why?"
"I need your help. That devil has made me his slave." She said while pointing her finger at me.
"You yourself know that this is not true." I said
"Wait, I don't understand anything. Shield hero has made you his slave?" Motoyasu asked
"No."
"Yes, he said that if he wins the duel then I will have to join his party, when we dueled then shield hero won by cheating. I thought that even if I lose then it will not matter much because I will only have to join shield hero's party, but now he behaves with me in such a way that I feel like I am his slave. Not only this, he has also tried to rape me." She said
Things are going out of control, but I can't do anything. The only thing I can do is
"She is lying, I never did such a thing-"
"Don't lie. You have done this not just once but twice. This morning you thought I was sleeping and you put your finger in my panty. True or false?."
"Absolutely false." I shouted.
I assumed that she would want to join other hero's party, guess she wanted to join spear hero's party all along.
This place is becoming more crowded. Everyone is looking at me in a strange way. Come to think of it, it just reminds me of my past life.
I don't understand why you are doing this. You are going to go to spear hero's party anyway, then what is the use of framing me? Are you doing this to get spear hero's sympathy?
"Mr. Shield Hero, you should have assumed that something like this would happen." Alna said while looking at me with indifference.
What's the meaning of this? Does she mean that I should have assumed that she will cheat me?
"Why? Why are you doing all this?"
"I believe that I have lost the bet, but I can't withstand it any more. Please forgive me." She said and started crying
"There is no need for you to apologize, Alna. It's the Naofumi who should apologize."
"How do you know her name?" I asked Motoyasu
"The sword hero told me about the duel between you and her. I was happy that you are not alone anymore, but you disappointed me." He said.
"So, what are you going to do now?" I asked him
I want it to finish as soon as possible.
"Naofumi Iwatani, I challenge you for a duel. If I win this, you will have to forget about Alna."
"Fine by me, but do you think you will be able to defeat me?" I asked
"Time will tell you that." He took out his spear
"Stop, we cannot fight here, otherwise the other people will have problems. Besides this, I am not even ready to fight yet. How about fighting at 5 in the evening on the training grounds?"
