I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

12 – Episode 12. Yerina Frost (4)

‘ And f*ck. ‘It f*cking hurts.’

Wood clatter.

This is the sound made by the wrist automatically rotating the moment the technique is used.

Merida style swordsmanship techniques were all developed assuming the body of an elf.

In other words, there are technologies that cannot be implemented with the human body.

What would happen if I tried to force myself to use that skill?

The answer is simple.

Overcome the limitations of the body and somehow embody it.

Even breaking his own wrist bones.

My wrist, which is swollen red and swollen, hurts like it’s going to explode.

“My, I lost?”

Yerina is staring blankly into space, as if she still can’t believe she lost.

Your face turns red in an instant because your first defeat is so humiliating.

‘I was too cowardly.’

Even thinking about it to myself, my conscience pricks me a little.

First, push Yerina with the most skilled Dacian swordsmanship.

When the embarrassed Yerina begins to use her skills, her system window automatically pops up.

[The trait ‘Frost (lv.1)’ Is given.]

It was a success in acquiring Frost-style sword techniques.

Originally, it is a trait that can only be obtained by taking swordsmanship lessons from Yerina, but it seems that sparring is also a type of lesson.

Thanks to this, I was able to exploit Yerina’s loopholes using the copied Frost-like technology.

And then it ends with the elf’s swordsmanship at a completely unexpected time.

‘It wasn’t a fair fight to begin with.’

While I went into her fight knowing everything about Yerina, Yerina fought without knowing any of the three types of swordsmanship I used.

It is said that the ground cover is at a loss.

If there is such an overwhelming information gap, you can win no matter how big the difference is.

“Why? Why did the sword stop midway?”

“······.”

He is quick to notice.

Getting straight to the point.

It was not my intention to stop her sword right in front of my eyes.

It wasn’t that she stopped, but she had no choice but to stop due to the range of motion of her broken wrist.

Yerina also suspects that, but seems not to be certain.

“Why didn’t you hit her in the face? She clearly said she had a competent healer…”

“I couldn’t dare to hurt the monarch’s face. Wouldn’t it be troublesome if even a scar were left on her?”

“It’s not a problem! The scars left on the beastmen’s bodies are scars of glory!”

“I was just saying it was difficult. I felt like my heart would break every time I looked at the monarch’s face.”

“······.”

Click here.

Yerina inadvertently bites her lip and her face blushes.

She seemed to have taken it as a great insult to the point where she couldn’t control her face turning red.

Huh? Is not it?

I don’t feel bad when I see her ears turned back.

“I have been defeated. Get healed, get dressed, and come out. A servant will guide you to the banquet hall.”

“What kind of dinner is this?”

“This is originally a favor given to guests who come to Palana. We will treat you with the utmost respect throughout your stay at Palana, so please do not hesitate.”

Yes, Rina speaks in a cold tone, as if she is giving reluctantly.

I am dumbfounded.

There is no reason to decline what you are offering.

It’s good that travel expenses have been solidified.

Soon, Yerina, wearing her fur coat and crown again, passes by me and whispers.

“What we sparred with today. I know that if I talk about it, I won’t be able to leave Falana alive.”

“······.”

Oh my gosh, it gives me goosebumps.

If you were scared by this creepy voice and kept your eyes fixed on her ground, you wouldn’t have noticed.

Yeri My ears perk up and I see her fluttering.

This means that I feel very good.

“Huh…”

Slowly, the situation begins to make sense.

Yerina’s strategy may be easier than that of any other heroine.

***

“Let’s calm down…”

Party.

Yeri slapped my cheek with her hand and forced myself to calm down.

She once declared that she would marry someone stronger than me.

But that doesn’t mean she has to unconditionally marry the person who beat me in Dalian.

There is only one candidate who can conclude a marriage.

Because of her partner’s wishes and circumstances, she cannot force it.

Even the opponent is not a beastman race, but a human race.

“That guy doesn’t know anyway. What it means that he beat me in sparring.”

Since you are a foreigner, there is no way you would know the declaration I made before.

She even threatened to kill me if I revealed the results of the sparring.

By now, you’re probably thinking that I’m an ugly woman who is acting out her anger because she lost in sparring.

“Ah. I don’t like that…”

Sleep.

The hand covering her face slowly moves down, distorting all the makeup.

I guess I’ll have to do it again.

I heard that Eugene arrived at the banquet hall long before her.

Not having the courage to look at his face again, she unconsciously ruined her makeup and fixed it again and again.

“You’re late.”

“······.”

Spacious banquet hall.

He stood out even in that cluttered place.

A human man sitting alone at an empty table and enjoying dinner.

He had the same sly expression on his face as he had seen during the day.

“Did everyone say hello? This is Mr. Eugene, who traveled all the way here from the southern continent. Thanks to this person, it has been a long time since we had a dinner party, so please give everyone a round of applause.”

Belatedly, Yerina made an introduction, and immediately applause poured in for Eugene.

This royal family is famous for being very frugal.

A banquet was rarely held unless there was an important event or celebration.

When the applause from the hundreds of people gathered at the banquet hall stopped.

Yerina sat in front of Eugene and faced him.

“I don’t know what to do with the enthusiastic welcome.”

“It’s nothing special, so don’t feel pressured and enjoy it. You deserve to be treated this way.”

That’s because you’re the only person who beat me in sparring.

Currently, he is the only candidate for marriage.

Although they are of a different race, no one knows what the future will be, so we cannot treat them carelessly.

“So why did you come to Falana?”

“I came here for sightseeing. I heard a rumor that it was a very pretty place.”

“Does that mean you came all the way here from the southern continent on your own? I think there must be another reason.”

“You have a good feeling. Actually, I came here to find a bride. I heard a rumor that it is a place with a lot of very pretty people.”

“······.”

Yerina hung her tail in disappointment. She

She had a personality that illuminated women.

She is deducted 10 points as a candidate for marriage.

“So the rumor was true?”

“Yes, you’re not wrong. Still, there were a lot of pretty people, but I only saw one person who suited my taste.”

“Hmm. I see. Where is your hometown?”

I don’t know who you fell for.

No matter who it is, I will not give up a single woman from Falana.

Yeri quickly changed the topic, revealing her dissatisfaction in real time through her ears.

“It’s ambiguous. I have no place to call home. I’m a wandering body here and there.”

“What about your family?”

“There are no more families in the world that are related by blood.”

“Oh, so you’re making a living with the swordsmanship you learned?”

“Yes. I travel around here and there and act as a guard…”

The dinner (read: census) continued for a long time.

There are only questions that cannot be abandoned.

With each question and answer, Yerina’s score for Eugene went up and down.

An orphan with no blood relatives.

Although he is a commoner, he seems to have received quite a lot of education.

His talent for swordsmanship stands out.

No lovers.

There is no hometown to return to.

He looks a little handsome. No, actually a lot.

‘I really don’t want to miss this…’

Excluding the shortcoming of being human, almost all elements were perfect.

Even if you search the entire continent to find a better marriage partner than this, it would be difficult.

This man even beat Yerina in sparring.

In fact, I may have started to be attracted to him from the moment I first met him.

To the man wandering the snowy mountains with curious eyes.

To a man who draws his sword and fights a bear for a woman he sees for the first time.

To the man who risked hypothermia to give up his fur sleeping bag to a woman he met for the first time.

To a man who seemed rough but had real swordsmanship skills.

‘If you lose this person, you will never have another chance.’

Probably, there will not be a man who can beat Yerina in sparring in the future.

Even if she does appear, it will be well past her maturation period and she will appear at a time when Yerina’s strength begins to wane.

This is your only chance.

At that one-of-a-kind opportunity, the best groom, except that he was a human, appeared.

This man must be caught.

Yerina was nervous and her ears were trembling.

“Now that I think about it, you’re talking about a bride. I have no intention of finding her leisurely.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“The situation is urgent. I want to find them as soon as possible and hold a wedding ceremony.”

“Puh-huh. It’s probably going to be difficult. The beast people tend to get married after a long relationship. They say that people of the human race often get married even if they don’t love each other, right?”

“Yes. That’s true for nobles. Commoners are more likely to have long relationships like the beastmen.”

“It’s interesting. Marriage customs vary depending on class. But may I ask why you are so desperate to find a bride?”

“You mean that…”

“Wait a minute.”

Something feels strange.

Yeri, who listened closely to her, asked for her understanding from Eugene for a moment and then looked at the surrounding atmosphere.

People are giggling as they look at the table where Eugene and Yerina are sitting.

It’s not just one or two people, it’s the overall atmosphere of the banquet hall.

It looks like he’s telling an interesting story that only we don’t know about.

Yeri I quickly called the butler and asked about her situation.

“What’s going on?”

“Master. There seems to be a rumor going around.”

“What’s the rumor?”

“My lord was defeated in Dalian, but in fact, he lost on purpose because he wanted to marry a man named Eugene…”

“What, what, what?!”

Yerina’s face turned red in an instant.

The contents of the sparring were leaked outside?

There is not a single one among the guards or attendants who would reveal that.

If so, the culprit is narrowed down to one person.

“You! What if I spread false rumors!”

Yerina slammed on her desk, her face blushing up to the tips of her ears.

The wind made a noise so loud that the startled people filled the banquet hall with silence.

Nevertheless, Eugene spoke slyly, still focusing his eyes on her food.

“I don’t remember spreading rumors. I only spread the fact that the Frost Lord was defeated by me. It seems like the claim that he was defeated on purpose was exaggerated.”

“Didn’t I make it clear? If you talk about the sparring, you will die.”

“I forgot. So are you going to kill me?”

“······”

When Eugene came out so shamelessly, she was at a loss for words.

How can you so blithely ignore the warning that the absolute monarch of this place would kill you?

It is clear that the liver came out of the stomach.

Or did you sense my favor?

That can’t be possible.

Because I always hid my kindness towards Eugene and treated him coldly.

“Thanks to you, my situation has become very awkward! This makes it seem as if I adore you!”

“I didn’t mean to do that, and I’m very sorry. Can you suggest a way to resolve this situation?”

“What is that?”

“You can marry me.”

Yerina’s ears slowly tilt back.

The conversation from a little while ago came back to her mind again and fit together.

The woman Eugene is urgently looking for to marry.

And she is the woman who fits Eugene’s tastes.

I just realized who they were pointing to.

“Although the monarch is not a human and I am not a noble, how about following the customs of the human nobles this time? It has already come to this, even if our love for each other is somewhat lacking, starting with marriage…”

“Mimi, Mimi! You crazy bastard!”

“Master!”

Boom.

While all the attention was on her, Yerina, who could not bear her embarrassment, overturned the table with one hand and attacked her.

As Yeri walks out of the banquet hall with her strides, the tail on her tail swings from side to side.

Meanwhile, Eugene just sat quietly and waited for her servants to return the table.

When the table was put back in its place and the food was served again, Eugene sat alone and resumed her meal leisurely.

This was a rare opportunity for a dinner party, so I planned to enjoy it until the end and then stand up.
