HeroxMaou Chapter 15

Birth of a New Hero: First Half

Oliver’s mornings start early.

After dressing himself, he trains in the garden. After that, he takes a shower and then makes breakfast for his beloved Cecilia.

That is his daily routine, but today’s morning was slightly different.

caught up!

Oliver stood stunned and blinked at the novel sight before him.

Is this a dream? He involuntarily pinched his own cheek. Once he confirmed that there was pain, his cheeks slackened in the next moment.

kimoi

“Cecily?”

“……it’s, Cecilia.”

Cecilia desu

When Oliver returned to the mansion after training, there was Cecilia and Goblin in ap.r.o.ns.

At this time, Cecilia would usually still be in her room.

sleep in~

——I’m so glad to be able to see this so early in the morning.

A l.u.s.tful thought was the first thing that went through his brain. No wait, there is something more important than that.

there are a lot of things

“Cecilia, wearing an ap.r.o.n. So cute.”

“……!”

“Did you wear it to show me? Cute, I want to hug you. Can I?”

no

Hearing Oliver spin out his thoughts in quick succession, Cecilia drew away in disgust.

good

It would be strange to not find a hero whose tension gauge was maxed out just because she wore an ap.r.o.n to be scary.

She absolutely did not want to be hugged, and displayed her rejection with her whole body. Holding both her hands out before her, Cecilia backed off. She was also shaking her head vigorously from side to side.

gj

“……No, I’m fine, I’ll refrain.”

“Eeh, shame. No need to be so shy.”

“……I am not being shy.”

this filter hero

To stop him from misunderstanding conveniently, Cecilia denied Oliver’s words.

And then Goblin joined in thoughtlessly.

traitor

“Good morning, hero. When I thought that I would at least help with preparing breakfast, Cecilia-sama offered to help.”

“Good job, Goblin.”

…

This Goblin really has done very good work.

whose side are you on

Certainly, it is nice to see Cecilia eat the breakfast he made, but eating the breakfast that Cecilia made is also exciting. No, it is of a different level. This is bliss.

He instantly praised Goblin and hoped that Goblin would do more in the future.

stop right there

As he cheerfully tried to take a peek to see what breakfast Cecilia was making, Cecilia stopped him immediately.

He tilted his head, wondering what was wrong, but Cecilia’s cute hand grabbing on to the hem of Oliver’s clothing was silently telling him to not look.

….?

——Cute. Holding on to my clothes, what do you want me to do?

I’ll hug you you know? As he thought that, Cecilia’s small voice reached his ears.

no

“……it’s not done, yet.”

“How about taking a shower first? I think it will be done after that.”

“Okay, guess I will do that……Cecilia, will you wash my back?”

“Definitely not.”

“A shame.”

go wai

Laughing, Oliver headed to the bathroom.

begone

While thinking that such an instant response hurts, he wasn’t hurt at all. Why is she so cute.

More, he wants to see more of Cecilia. That desire whirled within Oliver.

pause

play

“Yep, delicious. It really tastes like Cecilia.”

“…………it is egg, so rather then me, isn’t that the taste of chicken?”

yep

In front of Goblin whose gaze was nervously wandering around, Oliver ate the breakfast Cecilia made with a smile on his face.

While wondering if the hero actually says anything that doesn’t sound like s.e.xual hara.s.sment, he was relieved that the hero found it delicious.

nope

Displeasing Oliver would not be good. Cecilia thought like that.

true

The breakfast that Cecilia and Goblin made was eastern cuisine.

Fried fish with egg rolls. Boiled pumpkin with miso soup and rice.

is that breakfast?

Goblin is very good at cooking. In order to serve Cecilia, he has all the skills required to care for someone such as cooking and cleaning.

One might wonder if it is okay for a goblin to be this skilled, but it is the result of earnest training to serve Cecilia.

then stop backstabbing

——happiness.

With a lax expression, Oliver ate the breakfast that Cecilia had made for him.

Of course most of the cooking was done by Goblin, but there is no one here who would mention that fact.

…why not

“It’s been a while since I’ve eaten eastern cuisine. Cecilia, do you eat this often?”

“……not really, it’s normal.”

“Really? But, the way you eat the fish is proper and beautiful. Your hand holding the chopsticks is beautiful too.”

kimoi

The way he focused not on the way she held the chopsticks, but her hand that holds the chopsticks is really that of a pervert, Goblin had those thoughts, feeling as if he was understanding something.

As Oliver was enjoying his meal, Oliver’s hands suddenly stopped.

“…………?”

“Is something wrong?”

oh yeah this part

Cecilia tilted her head just a little, and Goblin spoke as if acting as a proxy.

Oliver smiled wryly and left the living room, saying “There seems to be a guest.”

the liberator

What happened? Cecilia and Goblin looked at each other.

These kind of guests show up occasionally. Most of them were soldiers aiming for the demon lord, Cecilia, but then Cecilia would also be able to feel their presence.

but none?

“It seems there is someone……”

“But, there is no presence.”

“It is strange for Cecilia-sama to be unable to feel anything. Did the hero put up some kind of hero’s barrier?”

“……he might have. The hero is stronger than me after all.”

…

Cecilia clenched her fist tightly.

She regretted being unable to protect the castle even though she is the demon lord because she is weak.

….

“Cecilia-sama……please, do not mind it too much. Everyone, is fine.”

“Goblin……”

“Also, all of us love this kind Cecilia-sama. So Cecilia-sama, please stay that way.”

no need to change~

Originally, they were the ones who had to protect Cecilia. Each of them regretted not being able to protect the other.

….at least no one died

“Thank you.”

….

In a small voice, Cecilia thanked Goblin.

Everyone in the castle is still alive and conducting repair works. Cecilia cannot lose heart here.

cheer up~

“That aside, Cecilia-sama……no, I think I understand but……I have not directly asked Cecilia-sama yet so”

“?”

just ask

“What is, Cecilia-sama’s, err——relations.h.i.+p with the hero?”

captive and captor

The instant Goblin spoke, a large explosion occurred.

end

Goblin dropped a bomb!!!

That aside I realised there was that read more tag thingy I totally forgot about, so I’m using it, like this my white text wont be so obvious.
