311話 独占欲に悲しむ少女
「あら? コノエさんの様子が......」
最初にその異変に気付いたのはリリィさんでした。
彼女は優美な所作でクシクシと右前足を使って金の毛並みを整える。
天士さまからいただいたアイテムのおかげで宝石猫となったリリィさんが、ネッ
「コノエくん、が......?」
その名を聞いて、少しの不快感が胸の奥から湧き出てしまいます。
「ええ。先程の女性の方々と別の場所へ移動してますわね......あらあら、
至高の存在たる天士さまに、何やら複雑な感情を抱いてそうな
神宮彩閣
最初は不遜にも心底嫌そうだった彼も、今ではすっかり訊太郎くんを......天士さまを意識しちゃってます。
「そうですか......放っておきましょう」
なるべく天士さまに近付けたくない。
そんなわたしの独占欲が頭をもたげてしまいます。
たちより、あんな気品の欠片もない女性たちを選択した男児など、気にかける必要ありませんわね」
なんて言いつつ、リリィさんは8つある水鏡のうちの1つを、コノエくんのパートナー猫視点のままに設定しています。
これは別にコノエくんを心配しているのではありません。ただ、
「何やら......不穏な事態になりそうですね......」
「ええ。ひ、ふ、み、3名の殿方に絡まれてますわね」
しばらく観察していれば、乙女会の女性
「......コノエさんに何かありましたら......」
リリィさんの呟きは、わたしの行き着いた思考と同じです。
「......天士さまが、悲しみますね」
「仕方ありませんわね。ちょうどここから近いようですし」
「はい。わざわざ天士さまのお手を煩わせずとも、わたし達だけでどうにかなります」
もめそうなのは男性
数的にはこちらが有利。
そんな理由付けをして、コノエくんを天士さまに近付けさせないのは――
醜い嫉妬かもしれないし、余計な独占欲なのかもしれないのです。
でも、わたしだって......ずっと、ずっと訊太郎くんを、天士さまを傍で見て来たのです。
この想いは簡単に誰かに譲るなんて、できません。
それにわたしだって、天士さまと出会った頃と比べて成長しています。いつまでも天士さまに頼り切りなんてダメなのです。
幼馴染としてもパートナーとしても。
だから、リリィさんとわたしだけでもどうにかできるのです。
わたしは自分に強くそう言い聞かせ、パートナー猫のモモちゃんを連れながらコノエくんの元へ駆けます。
勇んでコノエくんの助力になればと駆けつけたわたし達だったのですが――
『天士さまッ! 大変です! コノエくんが――――あの不気味な情報屋に、コノエくんの猫ちゃんが人質に取られてしまって......』
結局は天士さまに助けを求めてしまいました。
自己嫌悪に陥りながら、それでも猫ちゃんを助けたい一心で天士さまへとフレンドチャットを飛ばします。
『なに? 今、ミナたちはどこにいるの?』
『すぐ行く――「ほぉーら、ほら。どうだガキ共があ! これで少しは岩妖精に関して白状する気になったかー?」
頼もしい天士さまのみことばを上塗りするのは、ひどく不快な声。
はその声から滲み出る嗜虐心を露わに、コノエくんのパートナー猫......トラくんを掴んでいます。
「は、離して下さるかしら!? 猫さんは関係ありませんわよ!」
リリィさんの顔に焦りが浮かび、懇願となってしまうのは当然です。
しかも......【乙女会】のお二方は早々に逃げてしまったようで、コノエくんやわたし達が狙われてしまう流れになってしまったのです。
「おい、そこの坊主。お前が新しいパートナー猫を作ったとしても、毎回ひどい目に合うぜえええええ。なんたって俺らがお前を見つけ出し、何度でもお前の猫をキルしてやんよぉぉお」
は下卑た台詞を吐き、その内容が恐ろしい脅しとなってコノエくんの心に直撃してしまいます。
パートナー猫はHPがなくなっちゃうと......その猫ちゃんを制限時間内に生き返らせなかったら、2度と再会することはできません。唯一の手段、天士さまが持つ蘇生アイテムだって猫ちゃんに有効か不明です。
ましてコノエくんは蘇生アイテムがあるなんて知らないでしょうから、キルされたら二度とトラ君とは会えないと思ってるはずです。
......わたしの胸中に激しい後悔の波が押し寄せてきます。
最初から天士さまや他のフレンドさんに、協力を願っていればこうはならなかったのです。
醜い嫉妬心に駆られ、コノエくんの大切な猫ちゃんを失うはめになるなんて......。
「はーやーくー、教えないとぉお、お前らの猫は全滅するぜええ。クハハッ、たかが猫ごときで血相を変えるなんてガキだなあ。お前らにとって、そーんなに猫が大切かあぁぁあ?」
普通に戦っても勝てそうにありません......。
ましてや猫ちゃんの生死を握られてしまったのでしたら、わたしたちにできる事は......ありません。
「情報通りのご反応をありがとなあ~」
抵抗の意思を見せないわたしたちを嘲笑する男性
きっと天士さまなら、同じ状況でも諦めないとわかるから。
だから少しでもトラ君が助かる方法を、時間稼ぎでも、何でもできる事を探すのです。
「えっと、岩妖精さんに関する情報をお伝えすれば猫ちゃんは解放してくれるのですか?」
「それなら話す! 話すからトラを返してください!」
必死に懇願するコノエくんの姿をジーッと眺める顔の見えない
不意に彼の口元がニチャリと音を立てて笑みを広げたみたいに揺らぐ。
「バァカだなぁ~! 頼み方が違うんだよ。『
そう言って容赦なくトラ君を――
ザックリと短刀で切り裂いて、しまい、ました......。
「もう岩妖精について教えるのは当たり前なんだよなあ。お前らやっぱガキすぎるわあ、状況読めてる? 理解できてる? はーい、次いきましょ~!」
「ゴールディさん!?」
リリィさんから悲鳴が上がります。
それはわたしも同じです。
「モモちゃん!?」
リリィさんとわたしのパートナー猫が、彼と彼の仲間の手に握られてしまいます。
いつの間に、と疑問をはさむ暇もなく状況は悪化しちゃい、ます......。
「そろいもそろって、クソおもろいなお前ら。天使だなんだって騒がれてる奴の取り巻きなんて、ほんとクソみたい奴ばっかりだな。類は友を呼ぶってかぁ~! クソはクソらしく、黙って俺らに従ってればいい」
天士さまなら、冷静に猫ちゃんたちの安全を確保して......交渉する時間を稼げるはずだったのに......わたしじゃ、こうも上手くいきません。
なら、わたしはわたしなりに抗うしかないのです。
覚えたばかりの、今のわたしの中では一番強い青魔法の詠唱を素早く口ずさみます。
それに呼応して、すぐ隣のリリィさんも弓を構えてアビリティを放とうとします。
「『ニ連星矢・
だけど、同時にわたしたちは強い衝撃に襲われ、転倒してしまいます。
すぐにHPを確認すれば、たったの一瞬で3割も削られてしまった事に驚愕する他ありません。
何をしたのですかと疑問を投げる前に、顔の見えない
「はい、ペナルティ1なぁ~! 俺様に反抗の意思を見せたぁぁあ~!」
彼が右手に持っていたのは【千銃の放浪王オリンマルク・サーフェイス】の拳銃に良く似た武器でした。天滅の十氏が見せた武器よりも大きく、長く、鈍重そうで原始的。
たぶん、熾天種NPCが持つ拳銃よりとっても性能面では劣っていそうな代物ですが......。
「じゃあーサックリと刻んでやりますかね~! このクソ猫どもの身体には死を、お前らガキ共には俺らに逆らうとどうなるかって記憶を刻んでやるぞ~」
手も足も出ず、ただただ目の前で大切な猫ちゃんたちを失ってしまいました。
315 311 Stories A Girl Sad Of Exclusive Greed
"Oh? How's Mr. Connoe..."
The first person to notice the anomaly was Mr. Lily.
She uses kushi and her right forefoot in her graceful work to get her gold hairy.
Lily, who became a gem cat thanks to an item given to her by Heavenly Master, said she wanted to use her online (co) work to find a way to eliminate the dispute between Black and White Cats.
"Konoe, but...?
When you hear that name, a little discomfort will gush out of the back of your chest.
"Yeah, you're traveling somewhere else with the women earlier... oh, it's a despicable village"
To the Supreme Existential Heavenly Master, Kingsguard, who seems to have some complicated emotions.
He was also attracted to the brilliance of Heavenly Man. It was a trail of the Kingsguard Shrine family, so it was treated calmly on the surface...
At first, he seemed uncomfortable and sincerely disgusted, and now he is completely aware of Shintaro... Heavenly Master.
"Really... let it go"
I don't want to be as close to Heavenly Man as possible.
Such is my desire for exclusivity that brings my head.
"Right. You don't have to worry about boys who have chosen women with no such elegance shards than me."
What can I say, Lily sets one of the eight water mirrors to remain Connoe-kun's partner cat perspective.
This isn't about Konoe. It's just that the Mercenaries (Clan) [Maiden Society] are people who have been involved in fairy balls, so they're just a little suspicious and watchful.
"Something... is going to be disturbing..."
"Yes. You're intertwined with three lords."
If you observe for a while, you will notice that two female maiden mercenaries (players) and Konoe have a dangerous atmosphere with multiple male mercenaries (players).
"... if you need anything from Mr. Connoe..."
Mr. Lily's whining is the same as my going thought.
"... Heavenly Master, you grieve"
"You have no choice. Looks like it's just around the corner."
"Yes, we can manage without bothering you, Heavenly One."
There are 3 male mercenaries (players). In contrast, we have three and two total five.
This one is advantageous in number.
Why don't you let Konoe get closer to Heavenly Man?
It could be ugly jealousy, or it could be an extra monopoly craving.
But even I... have been watching Shintaro for a long time, beside Heavenly Master.
I can't easily give this thought away to someone.
Besides, I am growing up compared to when I met Heavenly Master. You can't always rely on Heavenly Man to cut it off.
As a child tame or a partner.
So Mr. Lily and I alone can do something about it.
I say that strongly to myself, and I run to Konoe with my partner cat Momo.
It was us who rushed to help Konoe.
"Heavenly Master! Oh, my God! Konoe... that creepy informant took Konoe's cat hostage... '
In the end, I asked the Heavenly Master for help.
While falling into self-loathing, I still fly a friend chat to Heavenly Master with all my heart wanting to help Cat.
"What? Where are the Minas now?
"I'll be right there -" Oh, look, look. What do you say, kids? Now you're willing to make a little confession about the Rock Fairy?
Applying the phrase only to the trusty Heavenly Master is a terribly offensive voice.
A shadowy mercenary (player) on his face exposes his feelings of abuse seeping out of his voice and grabs Konoe's partner cat... Tra-kun.
"Could you let me go?!? The cat has nothing to do with it!
It is only natural that Mr. Lily's face will be in a hurry and a plea.
Besides... the two of you [the Maiden Society] seem to have fled early, and it has become a stream for Konoe and us to be targeted.
"Hey, kid there. Even if you made a new partner cat, it suits you badly every time. Yeah, yeah. How dare we find you and kill your cat over and over again? Ooh."
An unnamed mercenary (player) throws up an inferior dialogue, the content of which becomes a terrible threat and strikes Konoe directly into his mind.
Partner cats say they run out of HP...... if they don't bring that cat back to life within the time limit, they won't be able to see each other again. The only means, even the resuscitation item that Heavenly Master has, is not known to be valid for Cat.
Well, Konoe won't know you have resuscitation items, so if she kills you, she must think she'll never see you again, tiger.
... a wave of intense regret pushes through my chest.
From the beginning, this would not have happened if we had wished to cooperate with Heavenly Master and other friends.
Driven by ugly jealousy, I can't believe I'm about to lose Konoe's precious cat...
"Ha-ha-ha, if you don't tell me, oh, you cats are gonna be wiped out. Yeah. Kuhaha, it's a kid to change his blood phase when he's a cat. For you guys, what's so important about cats? Ah?
Normally fighting is unlikely to win......
Not to mention that if they gripped the cat's life and death, there's nothing we can do...
"Thank you for your well-informed response."
I look back at the male mercenaries (players) who mock us for not showing a willingness to resist, at least because they don't want to lose just their feelings.
Because I'm sure if you're Heavenly, you'll know you won't give up in the same situation.
So, tiger, look for ways you can help, buy time, or do anything.
"Uh, will the cat let you go if I give you information about Mr. Rock Fairy?
"Then I'll talk! I'll talk to you, give me back my tiger!
A faceless mercenary (player) who looks jealously at Konoe, who pleads desperately.
It sways like his mouth inadvertently made a niche and spread a grin.
"It's silly! I'm asking you differently." Don't kill the next (...) cat, "right?
That's what I'm talking about, tiger.
Zackli and I cleaved it with a short knife, and I...
"It's natural to teach about rock fairies anymore. You guys are so kid after all. Wow, can you read the situation? Do you understand? Yes, let's go next!"
"Mr. Goldie!?
There will be a scream from Mr. Lily.
That's the same for me.
"Momo!?
Mr. Lily and my partner cat will be held in the hands of him and his people.
When, and I don't have time to question, the situation gets worse,......
"It's about time, you fucking hilarious guys. He's an angel. What a noise. You're just a bunch of guys like shit surrounding him. They call their friends! Shit seems like shit, you just have to shut up and follow us."
Heavenly Master would have calmly kept the cats safe... and bought them time to negotiate... and this would not work for me either.
Then I have no choice but to resist me.
Quickly mumble the strongest blue magic chant in me right now, which I have just remembered.
In response, Lily, right next door, also tries to release her abilities with a bow.
"" Nilian Star Arrow/Blunt "-"
But at the same time we are struck by a strong shock and fall.
If you check HP right away, you'll be nothing short of stunned that it's been cut by 30% in just a moment.
Before you question what you did, look and guess what the faceless mercenary (player) has in his hand.
"Yes, penalty one! I showed you my willingness to disobey!"
What he had in his right hand was a weapon that closely resembled the pistol of [Olympic Surface, Wandering King of a Thousand Guns]. Bigger, longer, dull and primitive than the weapons shown by Ten of Heavenly Extinction.
Probably a substitution that seems to be very inferior in performance to the pistol held by the Xuantian species NPC......
"Then I'll chop it up! I'll carve a memory of what happens to these fucking cats when they turn their bodies against us, you kids!"
I had no hands, no legs, I just lost my precious cats in front of me.
