Until death do us
apart
The engagement
bracelet that I received from Greed-sama, are in fact, cursed bracelets….
Not only can it not
be taken off.
No, compared to
that blessing, not being able to take it off no matter what is even cute.A1
I was aware of the
magic on the bracelet after Greed-sama put it on me - - no no, I received it
the following day.
When I noticed that
my class(1) was forcefully changed to 『The hero’s betrothed』, I headed to where the hero is to protest.
Of course I can’t
go to the private room that was prepared for Greed-sama. Even I won’t commit
the same mistake twice, you know.
Rather than our
private bedrooms, I went to the living room granted to the hero’s party
personal use, so that they could meet up without constraint.
As a maid I
shouldn’t forget my manners, no matter how much I want to burst in there. I
pulled myself together and knocked on the door to the living room.
「Come in.」
The voice of
Greed-sama came from the inside. It seems he certainly is inside that room.
I tightened my
stomach and stepped inside the room like I was prepared for war.
At that time, there
were the hero Greed-sama, the magician and prince of Elysion Rufus-sama and the
female warrior Farah-sama. But the only one reflected in my eyes is Greed-sama.
Of course it wasn’t
out of bittersweet passion or anything. Target confirmed. It was out of
aggressive opposition.
「Greed-sama!」
I hurriedly offered
my greetings and quickly approach Greed-sama.
「Why did I suddenly become your fiancée?!
Moreover, if these bracelets are magical tools, then you don't have to put one
my left wrist, the one on my right should be good enough!」(2)
I finished the
sentence while displaying my left wrist.
It happened as soon
as I was about 3 akbar (= 3 meters) from Greed-sama.
The bracelet on my
wrist suddenly pulled me forward with some kind of force and just as I thought
I lost my balance… I was floating.
Floating ―― and
like that my body was being pulled with a strange gravitational force by the
wrist… when I came to my senses I dived and landed in Greed-sama’s chest.
Dived into his
chest.
If you hear that,
what kind of scene do you imagine?
Softly lifted I
suddenly moved into Greed-sama’s chest?
No no, absolutely
not!
If there were sound
effects, it would sound like “bittaaan”. Just when I realized I was floating, I
flew into the hero like a bullet! With a “bittaan”!
―――― akin to a magnet.
Rufus-sama and
Farah-sama were taken aback by this. And of course I as well.
In total disbelief
I left the satisfied looking hero’s embrace.
Be it as it may, as
expected from the hero.
I remain composed
even after literally diving into his chest. Despite going “bittaaan”.
His muscle seems to
be amazing. Is he a little macho?
…… I was waiting and expecting something to be
said.
That’s not the
problem! No, it’s also a problem though!
―――― what’s up with this phenomena?!
With a “bittaaan” I
got sucked in like by a magnet.
According to the
present observation ―― no, in all probability it’s the fault of these
bracelets!
「Well……」
While I was still
in a dumbfounded state, Farah-sama recovered from the shock and said while
inclining her neck.「 I
don’t know if love affairs like these exists or not but …. engagement bracelets
these days sure have interesting gimmicks. 」
「That’s not the problem.」
Retorting seemingly
without delay ―― was for some reason Rufus-sama. The response came right after
I retorted in my mind.
Somehow, in front
of my eyes a two-man skit between Farah-sama and Rufus-sama was unfolding.
……I have these vexing feeling of regret.
Somehow similar to the sense of defeat….
At any rate, the
female warrior Farah-sama is a natural airhead, isn’t she?
I understood that
from their interaction just now.
The remark earlier
wasn’t a joke but said in earnest, right?
Beautiful and
strong, but a natural airhead … what a delicious character!
Starting with the
hero, a party consisting of nothing but good looking and talented individuals,
Farah-sama had an appearance that was in no way inferior.
A straight nose
bridge, almond shaped eyes. Long eyelashes.
A calm beauty with
flowing golden hair and bluish grey eyes.
However, coupled
with that unusual way of speaking, she makes an androgynous impression. To put
it simply, she is quite dashing. (3)
Unlike Greed-sama,
who is unarmed, she looks like she is at all times wearing an armor.
Even if you
understood that it is a woman walking in that dull golden armor dashingly,
you’d stop in admiration.
That is why, she is
so popular among my maid colleges.
Undoubtedly, even
if it gets widely known that she is a natural airhead, I have the feeling that
it would be received with 「Kyaa, lovely, cute！」. I
fear quite passionately in fact.
「This is Renas’s sacred magic. Sacred magic is
outside of my field of expertise but… I think it is a “blessing” kind of magic.
」
Said Rufus-sama
while looking suspiciously at Greed-sama, who was still hugging me.
「You had those bracelets “blessed” by Renas,
isn’t that right, Greed? 」
「Yep.」
Greed-sama admitted
frankly.
「Since it's a pair of bracelets, isn't a
priest’s “blessing” essential？(4)」
For the “blessing”
the priests performed a cursing kind of ceremony.
Whether or not I
can relax, depends on how capable the priest was.(5)
Let’s say the
priest granted it the blessing 『 Please arrive at your destination safely wearing this. 』
If the priest
wasn’t very powerful, you wouldn’t be able to relax. It’s a better than nothing
kind of feeling.
Whereupon, if the
“blessing” was granted by a powerful priest, the probability of that person
reaching the destination skyrockets. The rate of encounters with bandits and
demons would drop significantly. It might not be eye-catching magic, but
wouldn’t you think it’s simply amazing?
Of course as a
travelling companion of the hero, Renas-sama is a powerful priest.
The “blessing” that
was given by that Renas-sama.
I don’t need to be
told just how powerful, to understand it. Yep. I understand.
What I don’t
understand is ―――― the effect of this incomprehensible blessing!
What the heck! -is
what I’m thinking!
「Does that “blessing” have a meaning？」
What I wanted to
ask, came out of Rufus-sama’s mouth.
「It’s not just Renas’s divine magic is it.
Something has been added. Your mana is mixed in. 」
「 “Until death do us apart” is a nice saying
isn’t it?」
Greed-sama said
that while smiling down to me and turned his gaze to Rufus-sama.
However, that
beautiful smile vanished from his expression.
「This gimmick is necessary.」
Said Greed-sama in
an indifferent tone. With glass like eyes that reflected nothing, he looked at
Rufus-sama and continued his words.
「I don’t know when, but the time will come
when it is needed.」
「『Divine Revelation』……？」
Rufus-sama knitted
is eyebrows.
「That ‘s right. 」
I don’t understand
what the two of you are talking about.
Divine Revelation.
I think it’s
probably a skill, but I don’t know what kind of skill that is.
Perhaps it’s not
common.
As expected from
the hero, he holds quiet the variety of skills.
…... wait, that is not the problem!
This strange event
is!
「What is this！? Please explain this to me！！」
My half screaming
voice echoed through the room――――.
(1) To be precise she said she got a
job change, but in the western parts of the internet we usually refer to a
class rather than a job.
(2) “それにこの腕輪、魔具なら左腕でなくて右であってもいいはずですよね！” not sure if I understood that right.
Suggestions are welcome. I think she means having to deal with two irremovable
bracelets should be enough trouble.
(3) I
think she means Farah has a manly way of speaking? No idea.
(4) 対の腕輪ですから、神官の
“祝福” は付き物でしょう？: This one was rather tricky, suggestion on
a better translation are welcome.
(5) You might wonder, why I switched
back and forth between plural and singular. So do I, it’s in the original.
Aria : This is not my translation (my MTL can never be this nice lol)
