“What am I thinking?!”
I ask that question of myself as I walk out of the residence of the twins, one passed out. I don’t have time to dwell on it for long as I hear a loud voice.
“Saint-sama!!”
It’s the old hag who I healed. She’s running at me like a wild animal. Where do you get so much energy you 100-year-old hag?! I run away quicker than I did from Melty.
“Leave me alone!”
“Saint-sama, I must give you a token of my affection!”
“Stupid, old hag!”
I’m running as fast as I can to escape her but she’s fast for an old hag. I almost regret giving her that medicine. She was a fabulous instructor though…. Damn it, I don’t have time to think about it.
My flight takes me toward the road but as I get close, I see a cart and hear a voice I did not want to hear.
“Oh, I just love the look on your face. Please punish me Hero of the Shield! Yes!”
It’s the slave dealer. Why is he here? More importantly, what with his eyes? They’re… heart shaped?! He’s also wearing a leotard. I want to unsee that horrible image.
“Go away!”
“Not until you punish me!”
“Saint-sama, come back and get your kiss!”
I run back toward the village, but that was a mistake. Melty is back with some of the other female slaves and they begin hounding me. Every time I try to escape they or the slave dealer or old hag impede me. (TL note: this must be a hilarious sight.)
My unlikely salvation arrives in the form of Motoyasu. He charges in and grabs my arm.
“Get away from Dear Father, you pigs!”

Which is worse, Motoyasu or them? I can’t decide.
“Stop oinking. You’re such noisy pigs, all of you! None of you are worthy of Dear Father.”
Motoyasu’s illness still hasn’t been cured ne?
「Portal Spear!」
Motoyasu and I are teleported away.
We arrive at the old count’s village. I guess this is where he set as a waypoint.
I haven’t escaped trouble, just gotten into a different kind of it.
“Dear Father, would you please let me date your daughter this Valentine’s Day?”
After Firo as I suspected. Motoyasu has had a Philorial fetish after Witch dumped him.
“She’s not my daughter.”
“Then Dear Father, would you let me date Firo-tan?”
This isn’t going to end soon and he already has a firm grip on my arm. What the hell.
“Oh, very well, but only today.”
“Oh! Dear Father! Thank you!!”
The fool is overjoyed. I bet Firo won’t be though.
“I’ll take you to her. You can ask her yourself.”
Motoyasu and I walk a little ways up the road to the clearing in which Firo was pulling her carriage. She is still there, running in circles.
Once Motoyasu sees her, he bolts for her.
“Firo-tan! My love. I love you and I want to date with you!”
“~No!!”
Firo kicks him in the crotch and sends him flying. Hm, Firo kicked him harder than usual. She runs away from the clearing pulling her carriage. Get back here bird! You were my escape plan.
It’s too late, she’s already beyond earshot. Now what should I do?
