Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai

Chapter 127.2 - Yamakawa Junichiro and Himeno Airi

「Well, I don't think I'm such interesting person but――」

I decided to talk to Himeno-san to confirm my suspicion.

I mean, I've already suspected it from the very beginning, but now I'm even more convinced than before.

Personality-wise, the Himeno-san that I used to know had already transformed into a whole different person.

Considering the current environment, I wouldn't say that such transformation was bad. But it was rather problematic. On top of that, I wanted to confirm the change that might affect our personalities due to the influence of supernatural phenomena such as magic… and vocation.

「――Ufufufu, as expected of Yamakawa-kun, you have a large circle of friends. You can even get along with anyone regardless of their personality.」

Himeno-san praised my social skill while looking at me with an upturned gaze.

She seemed to really enjoy talking, bit by bit, with me about our school back in Japan. Yes, her acting was so skillful to the point that it was hard to distinguish her true emotions.

Yup, she really had a talent for this. With this kind of talent, it was only natural for Yamada-kun to fall into her trap.

「Because everyone is a good person. They'll understand once you try to talk with them properly.」

This wasn't sarcasm, it was the truth.

Because normal humans can understand each other as long as they sat down together and talked properly. It’s the same for us Japanese who were raised with that sense of value. The same went for the common topics we shared amongst the people of the same generation. That's why communication opens all kinds of possibilities.

But of course, there is always an exception to this rule, the kind of human who you can't talk with, the existence of an abnormal human. Take my parent for example.

「But still, the fact that you can talk with all kinds of people is what makes you so amazing, Yamakawa-kun.」

「Thanks. Well, I guess my communication prowess is my only redeeming feature.」

「And that alone has already made you a winner. I mean, it's as if you can guess, or understand what the other people want… as if you have mind-reading skill.」

I would be happy if I could do that. Or rather, I would've easier life since guessing someone’s emotion was useless against an apathetic or dull person.

「Well, it'll be exaggeration if you call it mind-reading.」

「Well, can you guess what I am thinking about right now?」

She slowly inched closer as our conversation went on. It’s a textbook example of how to seduce a man, but I'll give you 80 points for your acting. Himeno-san's hand indirectly piled up on top of my hands.

「Yeah. I've guessed pretty much all of it by the time you came to talk with me.」

「Sorry for making you wait until I talked with the other boys, Yamakawa-kun. I mean, I want to get along with everyone.」

「Yeah, I feel the same way.」

+++

「But still… I want to know Yamakawa-kun's appeal properly. That's why no need to worry since I just do what I like.」

Himeno-san whispered a convenient excuse that would work for a majority of men with a sweet, enchanting voice. Moreover, her arms had already wrapped around my body, and her lips were literally inches away from mine.

This was the first time something like this happened to me, but as I thought, the creature called woman was simply terrific. Now I understood why everyone else was drowned in the pleasure of flesh by her.

Having come into contact with woman skin had made me realize that their body was filled with charm that would awaken every man's instinct.

「Thanks, I'm happy to receive such praise from you, Himeno-san but… don't worry, I don't need it.」

I gently pushed back her body.

This might be the first time she’d received this kind of rejection just when she thought that I was about to fall into her trap. Himeno-san seemed to be extremely surprised for a moment―― but then, she glossed it over with a smile.

「You really shouldn't endure it you know, Yamakawa-kun? Or else, are you being thoughtful of everyone?」

「Uuhm no, you're mistaken.」

「Or else… am I not charming enough?」

「Nope, that's also wrong. Personally, I think that you're an extremely charming woman, but I refuse your invitation for another reason. If I've to say, my sexual disposition is warped.」

「U~hm, are you trying to say that you're into men?」

She asked with a sour voice, but I thought this was the right joke in order to probe her intention.

Into men, is it? She was close but her guess was wrong, I would say that it was slightly different from that.

「Yeah, it's something like that, I think this is the most convenient conclusion for both Himeno-san and me.」

「I don't know what you me~an.」

「Himeno-san, I won't become your hindrance. Rather, I will cooperate with you.」

「E~h?」

「Even if I can only do trivial things. I'll act just like before, mindful of my place, and mediate the conflict arising as long as it's still within my abilities.」

「Ah, well that's fine. I think four men is quite splendid too, I'll pay more attention to the~m.」

It seems Himeno-san finally decided to treat me-who was immune to her charm- as a cooperative partner. She obviously didn't try to invite me anymore.

「Just come to me if you need some advice. In addition, I will be happy if you're willing to hear my advice.」

「Advice? What could it be, care to tell me?」

「I think you should stop sleeping only with Yamada-kun.」

「Why should I do so? Yamada-kun is strong. He alone can defeat the trio.」

「Indeed, for now, that's it. But don't forget, your vocation becomes more powerful the more you fight. You know what's going to happen if the trio get a powerful offensive skill that can tear Yamada-kun's defense right?」

「Aa~h, I see~」

「If you want everyone to get along, I hope that you treat them a bit more equally since this will affect you when the power relationship changes. Naturally, Yamada-kun will be dissatisfied once you spend less time with him, but allow me to do something about that.」

「That's amazing, Yamakawa-ku~n.」

「I'm not that amazing you know.」

「Thank you so mu~ch. How about one shot inside me to repay this gratitude?」

「Ahaha, your feeling of gratitude alone is enough. I mean, I'm sure that you're pretty tired too.」

「Ahaha, the same goes for you right, Yamakawa-kun?」

「In my case, I'm simply used to it.」

「I see, you're ri~ght. But still, just tell me when you need to relax, I'll give you a service. You can at least accept the service with my mouth or hands ri~ght?」

「Just coming over to talk to me every once in a while is enough you know.」

「Holding it back isn't good for your health, you know. I mean, it's not even an act of cheating since we're basically not having sex.」

「It's not like I'm having a relationship with someone though.」

「But still, there's someone you like, right?」

My body stunned for a moment upon hearing her words.

Himeno-san, who had mastered the way to read a man's expression, wouldn't miss that moment.

「… Haa, I see.」

「Is that… woman’s instinct?」

It seems that she was also trying to probe me.

In the end, that night ended only with that kind of conversation with Himeno-san. Yes, we only talked… it seems that I was safe since Himeno-san didn't see me as a man, but again, she didn't seem to possess mind-type skills.

But despite her abnormal behaviour, I assume it was still within the safety range since Himeno-san was someone you could talk with.
