Resting II

In front of my eyes was Marth's gang setting up beach equipment.

…what the hell…?

Even more surprising was that Ordos, Mia, and Aurelia were helping them. What the hell? Why are we acting as if this is some kind of vacation?

"Aww what's wrong Seiya? Don't feel like hanging out with us?"

Marth said as he relaxed in his chair while sipping his drink. Humph, even he's acting so nonchalant. Am I really the only one that's actually serious here?

"With the likes of you? No. To me, you're like a goblin. An ugly, small, goblin."

"How dare you!"

One of his female subordinates said and dashed towards me, but she was intercepted by Marth. If I recall, this was the female that blocked my attack, I'll have to watch out for her.

"Now, now, don't take him so seriously. He's just not so friendly is all. He also doesn't know his place since he himself is shorter. There is no need for you to interfere with us, got it?"

"O-of course, darling."

Darling? Don't tell me…

"Good, good, now please leave us my dear."

She walked away with hearts in her eyes. So she has to be-

"Sorry for my fiancee, she gets rather… violent with others that insult me."

"Your… fiance?"

"Ahh, yes, she is my fiancee. Katelin Flakcrown."

If I recall, the age of consent is 16. That means these guys are probably older than me. At first, I thought it was a joke but now that I think of it, japan's age of consent is 13 so this is practically nothing.

"You see, when I told her about our fight, she was highly against it and actually wanted to take my place. Of course, I stopped her because I didn't want my opponent to get brutally beaten."

"What makes you think she could do that?"

"Well, to be honest, she is actually stronger than me."

"Did I hear that correctly? Your fiancee… is stronger than you?"

"Yes she is. We've had friendly spars when we were kids. And embarrassingly…"

His face began to turn red.

"I… lost every single time."

I couldn't help but laugh. T-this guy lost to his fiancee?! W-what a loser!

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!"

Th-that's just embarrassing.

"Tch, let's not talk about this any further."

He returned to relaxing and drinking his drink.

A few minutes passed and everyone was having fun. While I on the other hand was just loitering around. I walked over the cliff and looked around. I could see others at the bottom also playing around. Looks like I'm the only one out of place.

"Seiya."

Ordos called out and I turned around.

"What is it?"

"Why don't you and I have a friendly chit-chat?"

He asked politely as he offered me a chair that Katelin had placed down.

"What do you want to talk about? We've already discussed how your fiance is much stronger than you. Maybe you should just switch places with her."

"Now, now, Seiya, you know you won't be able to beat her if you struggle against me. Let's not mention, her highness is probably a better match. After all, they are rivals."

"Rivals?"

"Yes, at a royal party, she and her highness declared a rivalry against each other. Though, no matter how much they fought, they'd always end up in a tie. Well, her highness won a couple of times and Katelin never won."

"And I bet you were no match for Aurelia."

"Well, it's natural. She is her highness, after all."

"Yeah…"

Hmm, now that I remember it, didn't Marth flirt with Aurelia during the entrance exam? Ugh, thinking that makes me a bit mad. But…

"Should I mention that scene during the entrance exam to your fiance?"

"Uh-!"

I smiled and sat in the seat next to him.

"W-whatever you do, d-don't mention that scene to her. If she figures out then-"

"Then what?"

Appearing behind Marth was Katelin who had an overwhelming amount of bloodlust.

"Eek! Uh-"

"I heard your name being mentioned and Aurelia's. What were you talking about?"

"I-I uhh…"

Marth looked over at me but I shook my head and laid back. I ain't helping you. Just say a good lie to get out of it, if you can.

"I… I was just saying how much more beautiful you were than Aurelia. That's all. I also said how much I was blessed to have you as my fiance."

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"Well that's very nice of you."

Suddenly her expression changed and all her bloodlust vanished. Whew, I was about to choke. I can't believe someone has a stronger bloodlust than me.

"Well then, I'll be playing with the others. I still have to beat her highness is a volleyball match."

"Ahh… have fun then."

Hmm? Volleyball? That sport exists in this world? Maybe this world does have some similarities with earth after all.

And also, I can't believe that worked. Well, if you have a yandere as a girlfriend, then you'd best watch your back.

"Whew…"

"Must be hard."

"Y-yeah…"

After that, the others had their fun while me and Marth were just relaxing under the cool shade of the umbrella. Ahh… I never had any proper rest until now. I actually managed to get some sleep.

…

Now that I think of it, ain't I getting a bit too friendly with Marth?

Oh well whatever, we're in a truce right now so I guess it's fine.

The others seemed to have been playing volleyball for a while. It seems that most of them got tired except Aurelia, Mia, Katelin, and another girl.

"I'm definitely going to beat you this time, Aurelia."

Katelin said as she got ready.

"Hmph, try your hardest, you'll never beat me."

Aurelia replied and then served the ball.

A second before, Katelin seemed to be in one place but then a second later, she appeared right where the ball was.

Smack!

She hit the ball back towards Aurelia but then suddenly, it was Mia who was in Aurelia's place. Mia passed it over to Aurelia who hit it back over.

I couldn't help but watch. IT was like watching a volleyball tournament. On earth, there was a time in gym when everyone was playing volleyball. Let me tell you, it was embarrassing to watch. The matches ended after the fifth move or so.

The match was pretty intense. Intense to shake the ground a little. Then after what seemed to be an hour, the match finally ended with Aurelia winning.

"DAMN IT!!!"

Katelin shouted as she punched the ground in anger.

"Guess I win again."

"I won't lose next time."

I expected Aurelia to win. She was faster and more agile than Katelin. Marth is probably right. They are much stronger than us. I probably won't be able to match them.

After that, they rested and ate some food. I looked up at the sky and it was about to get dark. Everyone was off to change. My eyes followed Aurelia as she entered the bushes.

"Ho? Don't tell me your eyes are following her highness."

Marth said as he got up from his chair.

"N…no… that was your imagination."

"Hahaha, you can't lie to me. Of course, she is one of the most beautiful women this world has ever seen. Though not all agree. After all, she doesn't have any…"

He would make hand motions in front of his chest and then snickered. Is he really making such childish motions?

"Y-you… WHO THE HELL CARES IF SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY BOOBS, SHE'S STILL PRETTY!!!"

I shouted loud enough for almost anyone to hear. After I realized what I said, Marth let out a burst of explosive laughter.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

T-this guy. He's making me all flustered.

I jerked my head towards the bushes and pray to God that she didn't hear me say that.

"It's no use, she probably heard you."

"You…"

"Hehehe, this is funnier than I expected. I'll have fun teasing you. Even if you tried, she will never reciprocate the same feelings you have for her."

"F-feelings?"

"You know, you should just confess to her and get it over with. If you harbor such distracting feelings, then it'll interfere with our fight."

"C-confess?"

"What? Afraid you'll get rejected?"

This guy. I don't know but he's gotten smarter. He's getting into my mind and literally ripping apart my mind. It's like my mind just got dissected just by one look from this guy.

"Hmm… it's about time I head out. I've got some hunting to do. If you want to survive today, don't leave the safe zone until tomorrow."

After Marth and his subordinates were finished, they left the area and did whatever they were going to do.

"Guess we're gonna stay here tonight."

Ordos walked near the bushes and began setting up the tents. Mia helped as well. The two gave me smug looks in the process.

D-don't tell me they heard me. Oh no… I just hope Aurelia didn't hear me.

"Don't worry Seiya, Aurelia didn't hear you. She was distracted when you yelled."

Mia said and I immediately calmed down.

"I hope she didn't."

"Fufu, just don't think of it much."

"Your right. I'm getting too distracted."

If I keep thinking about it, it'll just get in my focus. I have to get rid of them somehow. That's how I was trained. I need to get rid of any distracting thoughts in order to focus.

…

But I can't! Marth really got into my head.

Confessing…

I've never done it…

Maybe… maybe I should do it…

I looked around and suddenly Aurelia walked out of the bushes. I blush.

Nope nope nope, now is not the time.

Gonna have to solve this problem soon.
