BXBX NOVEL [Ln] Volume 3 Side Story
Insect's Temptation
Translator : PolterGlast
I had never felt so sure that I was in love with someone as I had felt at that moment.
I remembered being at a loss for words when she smiled at me.
"Hello. I am Lisa Hounds, nice to meet you!"
The red-haired girl, born to an adventurer father and mother, came to Oire village, her mother's hometown, after her father passed away.
Oire Village. A small village in one of the small nations that make up the Confederation of Small Nations.
"I heard that Lisa's mother is an adventurer. Ken, why don't we go talk to her?"
Without fully listening to my friend, who was looking a little excited next to me, I simply nodded my head half-heartedly, while fawning over the sun-like smile on Lisa's face.
It was the so-called love at first sight .......
The days I spent with her were peaceful, yet it turned the grayness of my daily life into a vivid colorful experience.
Being the same age, we naturally started hanging out together.
Lisa had traveled to many places with her parents, who were adventurers, and she quickly became accustomed to the village and, before I knew it, she became very popular.
However, I could never express my feelings to her. Partly because I was too shy, and had never expressed my feelings to anyone before.
But the biggest reason was the best friend beside me. Nozomu Bountis.
He was also attracted to Lisa. But I didn't mind.
The three of us were always together. Lisa, Nozomu, and I were always equal to each other.
But that started to fall apart little by little.
What was the first trigger?
Maybe it was that incident about a year after Lisa's arrival.
"Get the hell out of our playground, stranger!"
"What are you saying? You said the first one to arrive gets to play for the day, so at least keep your word!"
Mujiru, the brat general of Oire village, lashed at Lisa, and she retorted not to be outdone. And behind him stood several of his cronies.
A lone pine tree stood on top of the hill that surrounded the village. It had been a playground for the children, and we would compete over it.
After finishing our work at home, we arrived first, as usual. We were supposed to be able to play there until sunset.
"Shut up, my father is the village chief!"
But on that particular day, Mujiru was very demanding. Perhaps he was being scolded or something while helping out at home.
Mujiru was the son of the village chief and was so big that none of the children his age could disobey him, but things changed when Lisa came to this village.
She had a fearless personality and, perhaps having been trained by her adventurer parents, she was as strong as a boy. She even overpowered Mujiru and became the leader of the children.
Naturally, Mujiru was not happy about this.
On this particular day, his frustration grew worse when he was scolded by Lisa, and he ignored the rules he had set himself and ordered us to leave.
"What do you mean by bringing that up!? What does your father have to do with it!? Besides, don't you think it's pathetic that you can't even follow your own rules!"
"Shut the fuck up, you parentless bitch!"
"~!?"
Parentless. Hearing these words, Lisa's eyes widened for a moment and she froze as if her chest had been pierced by an icicle. Her eyes trembled and her lips twitched in a straight line.
Then Mujiru shoved Lisa's motionless shoulder roughly.
"Ouch~......!"
Lisa let out a small shriek as she fell to the ground on her butt. Tears welled up in her wavering eyes.
"Uuu......"
Normally, she would retort, "What did you say!?" but she was unable to move, perhaps remembering her late father.
Perhaps convinced of their advantage by her behavior, not only Mujiru but also the other cronies began to verbally abuse Lisa.
While I was at a loss for words because of her fragile appearance, which was hard to imagine from her usual strong personality.......
"You son of a bitch!"
Nozomu's face turned red with anger and he pounced on Mujiru. He used his momentum to push Mujiru, who was bigger than he was, down.
"A......"
"Apologize to her!"
Because Nozomu is a sincere and good guy. I was a little pained, but at the time, I was genuinely hoping that the two of them would work things out.
[You, can you see me? It's the first time I've seen a human being like you!]
"What are you......?"
Then, under that lone pine tree, I met a girl with light blue wings.
Her small body and shining wings reminded me of fairies in fairy tales. Lights, fluttering around as if dancing, give off an air of holiness. Her appearance made it clear at first glance that she was something special.
[I am Mefi. I am a water spirit. Hmm~~, you seem to be special.]
"Spe-cial?"
And then I found out. That I was a special human being.
A feeling of elation, almost like trepidation, ran up and down my spine.
