I Don’t Want To Be a Porter in the NTR Novel - Chapter 48



48 – Pet saintess and the unsmiling hero (2)

Lindsay concentrated and swung her sword.

I had to focus.

Rather than attacking Caiman, it was to avoid hurting him.

Caiman’s recent growth has been surprising to others, but it is still not at a level that can match Lindsay.

However, she never looked down on Caiman because she thought she was stronger.

He thought he was only standing in front because he started first.

I wanted to go with him.

I wanted to lead him in front of him.

On the one hand, from Caiman, who absorbs the imperial swordsmanship in a different way from her,

In the way he develops day by day, Lindsay could also feel that his understanding of swordsmanship is deepening much more than before.

As a senior who is one step ahead of her, she realized that her swordsmanship could advance to a higher level by thinking about how to pass on what she realized to her juniors.

The two were already very valuable partners to each other.

But Lindsay had a strangely difficult time maintaining her concentration today.

focus on caring for him.

The image of Seria cheering for Caiman’s victory earlier,

The appearance of two people who are good friends.

Over and over again, even if I tried to erase it from my head, it persistently tormented the deep inside of Lindsay’s head,

Unknowingly, the power went into her hands.

***

While retrieving the sword that Rinze had extended, it stopped.

“Ka, Caiman.”

It was a trembling voice.

“Wait, stop!”

The sharp voice of the princess filled the vacant lot.

I dropped my wooden sword.

I thought I hit pretty hard this time.

Rather, I didn’t feel it right away when I was hit, but it seemed like a sharp stabbing pain was tearing through my shoulder blades.

It would be nice if it wasn’t at least a severe bruise, a tear or a broken wound…

“Kuh, ouch… ”

Even if I try to endure it, moaning leaks out.

“Mi, sorry! caiman… are you okay?”

Lindsay approaches me and examines her complexion.

… I think the current Lindsay has a more blue complexion than me.

Because of the pain, cold sweat runs all over the body.

anyway it happened

I missed Rinze’s counterattack because I was focusing only on my attack.

Since I didn’t evade, I had no choice but to be hit even more severely.

“… Don’t move your injured arm for now.

Seria, cure!”

I hear the voice of the princess.

So, I allowed Lindsay’s thrust to the shoulder.

It was quite strong, enough for the princess to abruptly stop the sparring.

I think the leather shoulder pads cushioned the impact a bit,

Lindsay is so strong these days… It seems that this alone cannot be stopped.

“I will treat you.”

The saintess who had just been looking at Dalian came up to me and held out her white hand to me.

This alone made the pain go away.

…There seems to be a strange effect that makes the saintess look like a saintess only when she is receiving treatment for her injuries.

***

Treatment was more complicated than expected.

A number of thin needles of light passed through my shoulder, pierced the inside, and weaved here and there.

Every time the needle moved back and forth, piercing heat and freshness coexisted.

The pain is gone, but the arm still doesn’t move well.

“Um, I’ve been cured, but… I think it would be better not to fight for another week or so.

… And, of course, the porter must have me… ?”

The bright smile of the saintess is frightening.

These days, whenever she treats me big or small, she repeats this sound like a spell.

Unfortunately, her psychotic obsession… madness doesn’t seem to have changed.

Obviously, if you are grateful for the treatment, you should be grateful, but…

But why are you saying that and throwing a meaningful eye smile at Lindsay instead of me?

Is the saintess angry in her own way?

… Lindsay bowed her head like a criminal.

I feel bad for seeing you.

“are you okay. Lindsay. Take a break and you’ll be back to normal in no time. I don’t feel sick at all now.”

It doesn’t take long for the regenerated muscles to become as active as they were before.

“… I’m really sorry. Caiman, if I had been more careful… ”

“It’s not your fault. It’s because I’m weak.”

I told Lindsay and Dalian to die, but I can’t see the image of winning.

Did they say that everyone has a plan until they get hit?

I’m the type of person who likes to make plans, but these days I lose every day, so I can’t even plan well.

“… No, Cayman. you are not weak Having clashed swords together, I will guarantee it.”

Lindsay’s expression was so serious and solemn when she said that to me,

I couldn’t help but stare at Lindsay’s tiny face for a moment.

“Are you a loader?”

The saintess was looking at me with only a smile on her eyes.

Oops.

The princess clapped her hands and walked in this direction.

“Today, both Lindsay and Caiman worked really hard.

It was a pretty intense sparring.

Caiman, don’t use your injured arm and get some rest.”

“thank you.”

We bowed our heads to the princess.

“Today, Lindsay’s attack was sharper than usual.

Lindsay. You have a warmer heart than anyone befitting a warrior,

On the one hand, it can be your weakness.

We don’t know what kind of look and personality the enemy will appear in front of our eyes in the future.

And it may try to take advantage of your warm heart.

In the future, you will need a moment like today to resolutely focus on your sword.”

In other words, did Lindsay take care of me until now?

I’ve been feeling it, but I really have a long way to go.

“… I will take those words from the bottom of my heart.”

Lindsay once again bowed her head to the princess.

“Caiman, you were truly unexpected.

Even when I first saw you, I thought that the flow of mana was pure and that it was a considerable gemstone, but now it is more than that.

Looking at your unbreakable will and inquisitive spirit, I think you will be able to step up as a colleague to defeat the demon lord together with us.

So, I hope that I will continue to devote myself to training in the future.”

“thank you!”

… It seems like a compliment overflowing in minutes.

But, as always, praise makes a porter dance.

“Palmin min♪”

Before I knew it, the pelicana sitting on my shoulder was also chirping happily.

why are you dancing It’s cute.

“And, as of today, the current training is over.

From now on, let’s accept the request again and defeat the monsters.”

At the princess’s sudden words, both I and Lindsay were taken aback.

“Ha, but, Princess. yet… Compared to before, I lack a lot.”

Lindsay spoke carefully.

“you’re right. jeon… ”

I thought I still had a lot to learn from Dalian.

“Both of you, don’t lower yourself too much. It’s a skill that’s not inferior at all even to a full-fledged adventurer.

So, Lindsay, you’d better not focus too much on sparring with people right now.

After all, you are destined to defeat the monsters.”

Do you mean that you have to hunt monsters to deal with the monsters of the Demon King’s Army?

It is not possible to stay sparring here forever.

“… All right.”

Lindsay has a voice that doesn’t seem to be confident yet.

“And there is still one last special training left.

Tomorrow, let’s gather after dinner in our picnic clothes.”

“… All right!”

Lindsay and I answered in one voice.

Meanwhile, the princess winked at me with one eye.

… What does that mean?

***

We met at the west plaza at the appointed time the next day.

Both Lindsay and I wore a common and comfortable outfit of a shirt and pants.

I don’t know what the last training will be like.

It’s difficult to wield a sword because my shoulder hasn’t healed yet, but if you train, is it like mental training?

And the saintess…

“Why are you wearing a Holmes costume?”

“Because I have to study the porter’s secret.”

I stopped understanding the saintess.

“By the way, why didn’t the porter wear the Watson costume I made for you!”

It didn’t make sense! A saintess with a mouth full of mouth.

How can I match your heart?

Anyway, it seems that I quite like that Holmes costume.

“caiman! Lindsay! Seria! This way!”

The princess waving from the other side was wearing a familiar outing outfit.

A heavenly cloth bag with sunflowers engraved on a precious white dress.

Alice standing next to her seems to be putting together a complex polyhedral puzzle while magically floating it in the air while spinning it around.

… Um, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with training, does it?

Isn’t it just an outing?

Lindsay and I only looked at each other in a situation where we could not understand each other.

Come to think of it, it seems like it’s been a while since I met eyes with Lindsay.

“… Porter, what kind of ‘study’ would you like to be subjected to?”

Oops.

Lindsay, who had been facing me, turned her head away from me in embarrassment.

“Welcome! To the final training!”

The princess greeted us with her arms wide open.

“Well, that, Princess, the last training is… ?”

I carefully asked the princess a question.

Lindsay is also curious.

“Hey Lindsay. The last training for you to get used to your body…

That is, wearing women’s clothes!”

At the voice of the princess, as bright as the morning sun rising over there,

Lindsay was hardened like a stone.
