The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 433: An Easy Girl

I am Miho, the daughter of the chief of the Eastern Continent fox tribe and a proud warrior.

“Ooh… It’s the sea…”

To someone like me, the seaside is both unfamiliar and fascinating.

In the mountainous village where I lived, I only heard about the sea in stories.

So when I first left the village, the first place I went to was the sea, and it quickly became one of my favorite places.

“…This isn’t the time for this.”

But it wasn’t the time for that.

I didn’t come to play at the beach today.

“Cough, cough…”

I just did it to relieve tension.

“Frey, open the door.”

Why am I so tense?

Because I’m about to enter Frey’s lair.

“Hurry and open the door.”

Others might be fooled, but I would not be fooled.

There was no way someone so shameless and lewd could be the Hero!

Just yesterday, he threatened me to hand over my fox bead!

He’s a shady guy.

How dare he covet the fox bead filled with yin energy.

Did he even know what it signified to give that?

If I hadn’t sacrificed myself as the chief’s daughter for everyone’s sake, our tribe’s women would have fallen for that two-faced guy!

Forcefully!

…Right?

Suddenly, I recalled the unusual looks in the women’s eyes, but it was probably just my imagination.

Probably.

How long have I been knocking on the door, and he still hasn’t opened it?

He has no manners in dealing with guests!

Or maybe Frey was planning another lewd scheme.

Well, I would bring an end to that!

Today, I would watch him with my eyes wide open and deliver the hammer of justice.

“Frey, are you just going to leave a guest standing here? Open the door…”

- Creak…

As I was thinking that, the door slowly began to open.

“Who…?”

“Who? You’re the one who called me her–”

I folded my arms and stared straight at the door, but then I froze.

“…”

“Hello?”

A scary demon was staring down at me.

Scary. It looks like she would eat me right away.

Dad said demons ate foxes.

Was he using a demon like this as a gatekeeper?

“Oh my, a cute fox.”

“Yes!! I want to nibble on her neck!!”

“…It’s probably her cheek, Ferloche.”

“Miho? Long time no see.”

“Grrr…”

As I stared, frozen, into the ruby-red eyes of the demon, women started appearing behind her.

“So…”

Then, their eyes simultaneously turned cold.

“…Why are you here?”

“…”

Miho wanted to run away.

.

.

.

.

.

“Huff… huff…”

I was interrogated for an hour by Frey’s women, and after countless checks, I was finally allowed inside.

I thought Serena would help me, but she was the most diligent in the interrogation.

Miho felt sad…

“Sniff.”

But I couldn’t back down now!

I had to steel my heart!

Serena would play with the demon behind me while I entered Frey’s room.

Then I would uncover the truth!

“What truth?”

“Of course, the… ack.”

As I was gathering my resolve, a sharp voice sounded from behind me.

“You still fall for it easily, Miho?”

“Ugh…”

It was Serena, still hiding her mouth with a fan.

That smartass ghost!

Everyone thought that she was good at fishing for information, but she had to be a ghost.

How else could she read thoughts from just expressions and gestures?

Even someone as perceptive as me couldn’t do that!

She definitely used some kind of sorcery…

“I’m human, you know.”

“Oh, right… wait.”

I was sulking after answering without thinking again when Serena’s eyes sparkled.

“Frey is very tired right now.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes, so please take care of him?”

“Ah, okay. I’m a doctor, after all. I don’t mess with lives…”

“Don’t do anything unnecessary, though.”

Why did Serena’s eyes look so scary when she said that?

“A-Alright.”

This place was really scary.

It felt like someone could kill me with just a look.

“Then…”

Not wanting to meet my end before meeting Frey, I hurriedly went inside, leaving them behind, and the killing intent finally subsided.

“Phew… huh?”

As I relaxed and nearly collapsed, I felt another wave of killing intent.

“Grr…?”

“E-Eeppp!”

Looking up to see what it was, I found Lulu lying next to the bed, glaring at me.

Why was she lying in Frey’s room?

Was this why the women were so sensitive earlier?

“What’s up, Miho? You’re here already?”

As I stared blankly at her, Frey noticed me and greeted me warmly.

Why am I so glad to see his face?

“Save me.”

Honestly, I never thought Frey was a bad person.

I knew he was a hero.

I just had some suspicions about his character and relationships…

And now, I had a duty to look after him.

Since I handed over my fox bead.

I had to see him often from now on, even if it was against my will. If his character was shady, I had to set him straight…

But the trials were harsh.

And there was Lulu, who has subdued me multiple times, leaving me breathless.

I had no choice.

I had to seduce him.

“Save me…”

“Ah, geez.”

With the most pitiful eyes, I begged Frey, and he sighed.

“Lulu, could you step outside for a moment?”

Finally, I’m saved!

“…Master.”

“It won’t take long. Don’t worry, Lulu.”

“Okay…”

Seeing Frey effortlessly handle Lulu made my eyes sparkle.

The Hero is the Hero, after all!

“Do people often call you simple-minded?”

“…?”

Kneeling and sitting down, Frey looked at me and asked.

What was he talking about?

“…Ah, really.”

As I tilted my head in confusion, a cold voice spoke from behind.

“Why is there a fox all of a sudden…”

It was so cold and quiet that only my keen ears could hear it, a voice so cold it was hard to believe it came from someone who usually mimicked a dog.

“…Eep.”

This place was terrifying.

.

.

.

.

.

“Miho, have you already prepared the fox bead?”

“Y-yes.”

After many ups and downs, I finally succeeded in being alone with Frey.

But why was my heart pounding so hard?

Was it because I’m unnecessarily tense?

“I heard it takes quite a while to prepare…”

“Um, what?”

I was trying to calm my pounding heart while sitting quietly with my knees together when Frey suddenly asked a sharp question.

“…Shut up. Be quiet, human.”

To be honest, I had already made a few fox beads for Frey.

Well, back when he caused quite a stir in the Empire.

I heard rumors that he wasn’t feeling well at that time, so I secretly made some…

“You did it for me?”

“Uh?”

“Thank you, Miho.”

As I was thinking about why I did such a foolish thing, wrapping my tail around me, Frey suddenly grabbed my hand.

“Let go, human.”

“…Ow.”

I couldn’t help but push his hand away.

Of course, it was rude for someone to suddenly grab my hand!

He should know that…

“…Oh, um.”

I was about to get angry when I noticed a small wound on the back of Frey’s hand.

Did I do that?

I didn’t mean to.

I should apologize…

“I’m sorry, Miho.”

Just as I was about to apologize, Frey quietly hid his wounded hand behind his back and scratched his head with the other hand.

He hid the wound?

Hmm…

Suddenly, my face felt hot.

Why?

“Still, thank you so much.”

While I was looking down, Frey smiled brightly.

“You saved my life.”

Frey’s face as he said that looked pure and kind, unlike before.

Was it my imagination?

Without his usual mean and lazy expression, Frey somehow looked handsome.

No, no he was handsome.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing him smile so brightly, my heart started to race again.

What should I do?

“Ha.”

Wait, if I reacted like this, I might be misunderstood as an easy girl!

Father always told me not to become an easy girl.

And falling for someone like Frey, who has a dubious reputation, was out of the question.

“You! I won’t be fooled!”

“Huh?”

“If you’re really a good person… what about what happened at the slave market!”

Trying to snap back to reality, I hastily asked the question that had always been on my mind, now in fluent imperial language.

“Ah, that…”

“See! You can’t answer right away!”

Frey’s eyes wavered, and he began to stutter.

I knew it.

Still, I should at least hear what excuse he has…

“I’m really sorry.”

“What?”

While I was crossing my arms, expecting his excuse, he apologized.

“It’s all my fault.”

“What?”

Frey even bowed his head.

Did he really do something wrong?

“What did you do wrong?”

“Well…”

I asked with a confused expression, and Frey began to explain with a guilty look.

His explanation boiled down to this:

His actions at the slave market were to liberate the slaves and rescue the royal family of the Cloud Kingdom.

He bought a large number of slaves initially to smuggle them out.

He harassed me to channel my rage towards him, preventing it from exploding dangerously.

What?

That was pretty impressive.

And it didn’t seem like he owed me an apology.

Instead, It felt like I was the one who should apologize to him.

“Still, I can’t deny the physical and mental harm I caused you.”

While I was thinking that, his words made me speechless.

Honestly, I heard from people that I’m naive, but this wasn’t it.

Was this really Frey’s true self?

“Y-yeah. It can’t be helped.”

“Ah…”

“Do you want an apology?”

I tried to test him with a bit of suspicion, but Frey nodded sincerely.

“Then be a slave of the fox tribe for a year.”

“…A year?”

“Why? Is it too much?”

Frey’s expression slightly frowned at my next words.

Well, I couldn’t really blame him.

Even I thought that it was unreasonable…

“Is a year really enough?”

“…”

But then he said that.

What?

Was Frey really such a person?

“Then… What should I do first? Clean? Or…”

“No, no. It was a joke! A joke!”

I had to stop him hastily.

…A slave becomes communal property in the village.

That wouldn’t do.

“…I went too far. I’m sorry.”

Feeling awkward, in the end, I’m the one who apologized.

“…Heh.”

Frey responded with a shy smile.

- Thump…

Seeing that smile, my heart started to race again.

To be honest, he was really handsome.

If celestial beings existed, wouldn’t they look like him?

My whole body felt hot.

And contrary to my thoughts, his personality was upright.

Although his relationships with women were a bit strange…

But still.

Given everything, offering the fox bead…

“…Bleh.”

“…?”

After thinking for a while with my head bowed, I quietly stuck out my tongue and shifted my gaze to him.

“What are you doing, Miho?”

“…Take the fox bead.”

“Ah…”

This was a newly made fox bead I stayed up all night to make.

I could just give him the one I already made…

But as a doctor, I should make the better choice.

A freshly made fox bead had a much better efficacy.

So this was a purely medical decision.

Right…

- Swoosh…

“…Bleh?”

While blushing and sticking out my tongue, I felt a slight sense of emptiness.

“Thanks, Miho.”

“Huh?”

Frey carefully took the fox bead from my tongue with his hand.

“…”

What was I thinking?

This was the normal reaction.

Why am I like this…

“Give it back.”

“Huh?”

Before I knew it, I had snatched the fox bead from him.

“A man’s body shouldn’t touch the fox bead!”

“Why?”

“The fox bead is filled with my energy and yin energy! If someone like you touches it, it’ll get contaminated!”

“Oh…”

And then I started babbling nonsense.

“Then… what should I do…?”

“Follow my prescription!”

What nonsense am I saying as a doctor?

“Prescription…?”

“Y-yes… You must follow it!”

As I emphasized while stuttering, Frey nodded earnestly with a bright smile.

Even that smile looked handsome now.

“…Gulp.”

I couldn’t help it anymore.

.

.

.

.

.

“Hmph.”

“…?”

As Miho put the fox bead in her mouth, Frey looked puzzled.

“Why are you putting it back in your mouth…?”

“Bleh…”

And then, Miho stuck out her tongue again.

The fox bead glowed quietly on her tongue.

- Swoosh…

“Ah.”

Seeing that, Frey looked bewildered as Miho’s tail wrapped around his back.

“Huff, huff.”@@novelbin@@

Now, right in front of Frey, she breathed heavily and looked up at him with her tongue still out.

“…Lick it.”

“What?”

As saliva dripped from her tongue and wet Frey’s pants, Miho’s trembling voice emerged.

“…Rick it.”

Frey’s expression turned genuinely confused as a message appeared before him.

Miho

Conquest rate 99%

“What the…?”

And then, the tip of Miho’s tongue touched Frey’s /genesisforsaken
