The Blessed Hero – Journey around the sacred grounds – The town of Hember 10 –

"Nn... Nn..."
The morning sun shines on Mei's face and wakes her up from a comfortable slumber.
Her daily life in her hometown, which she couldn't talk about to her companions, and the training in the royal castle weighed on her as a heavy worry, and it continued to bother Mei even after she left on her journey.
For her, the opportunity to entrust her mind and body to someone was precious, and she was able to sleep soundly as if to heal her fatigue so far.
(... I see, did I sleep after that?)
Looking around her with her eyelids half-closed, her mind recalls her last night's disgrace.
She masturbated imagining that she was gang raped, and Finn saw it.
The smell of her cpartner's sticky penis made her body go in heat.
Finally, she was comforted by the trauma of her past, and said something like that...
Thinking about it, she turned her gaze to her own lower body, and her pubic hair and letters were written exactly like she remembered.
(What are you doing... me...)
She writhes while suppressing her face, which is hot with shame.
Even though her body was agitated by her lewdness, her self last night was too far gone.
And above all, the problem is that she can't seem to dislike this situation right now.
Mei's shame and regret, and equal amounts of joy, rage in her heart.

"Because this is your fault..."

Mei’s eyes fell on to the face of Finn, who is sleeping peacefully next to her, and she mutters sulkingly as she gently touches her lips.
She looks somewhat relieved at Finn who still doesn't wake up, but with a pouting expression, she moves to get ready.
(First, the clothes... I mean, my clothes in my room...)
With how she was invited last night, she is without her clothes.

"Ah, umm..."
"Mei-chan, I'm sorry about yesterday!"
Finn bowed his head vigorously to Mei who was blushing and stuttering, not knowing what to say.

"Eh?"
"I know that I’m saying something convenient for Mei-chan, who doesn't like it, but I wonder if you'll forgive me somehow? Of course, I won't say anything to Arthur and the others, and I'll apologize in a way that Mei-chan can understand. “
An apology from the humble Finn.
A color of understanding appears on her Mei's face.
Mei was just a victim who was forcibly attacked by Finn, and she had no special connection between them--that's what Finn is trying to do...
Her libido, which had been heightened by the lust crest, had calmed down after last night's intercourse, and considering the risks of being exposed to Arthur, Finn's speculation was convenient for Mei, too. 

"Ah... I was at fault too... This apology is fine."
Mei smiled awkwardly as she endured the tingling pain in her chest.
"... I see, thank you. Then I'll send you to your room."
"No, no, it's right over there. I’ll just borrow a blanket."

Mei leaves that behind and heads for the corridor at a quick pace.
When she opened the door a little and listened carefully, fortunately there was no sign of anyone.

"……what the heck"

The mutter never reached Finn.

After that, when she got ready and went down to the dining room, Mei’s friends, including Finn, had already gathered.

"Good morning. How are you feeling?"
"Ah, it wasn't so bad as to make a fuss about it yesterday."
"A ploy to get Arthur to hug a princess... as expected of a female fox."
"When did I do that!?"
At the same time as her heart, which had been shattered, was healed by her usual companions, her heart ached with her feelings of guilt.
Mei tries to shake off her complicated feelings and behaves cheerfully.

"Are you going to take a day off today? Are you thinking about what to do?"
“We went to most of the places from request, but it was just work, so today we were talking about taking it easy and looking around.”
"Okay. What about the two of you?"
"Hmm~? I'll give a pass. I'm not as young as you guys... I can't move energetically on days I don't have to work."
“What are you talking about… Well, putting aside Finn’s nonsense, we also don’t want force ourselves by working like a horse. Please enjoy yourself as lovers without worry."
When she spoke to Finn and Lloyd while pretending to be as calm as possible, they both replied as if nothing had happened last night.
The two of them were irritated by Finn's easy-going attitude, but the two calmed down and realize that it was an unreasonable and selfish feeling.
In fact, since she came to Hember, she haven't spent much time alone with her companions since they started traveling. Forget about Finn and enjoy time with Arthur.
After making arrangements with Arthur and the others, Mei made arrangements in her own room and left with her tail sways happily.

"So what happened?"
"What are you talking about..."

Lloyd asked Finn who was staring blankly at the entrance of the inn where the five had left.
"Do you not understand the intention of the question, or are you evading it?" He exaggeratedly sighed at the baffled reply of his partner, who was probably the latter.
"No matter how you look at it, something must have happened."
"So what do you mean by--"
"Did you fall in love with Mei?"

Finn is at a loss for words for a moment when that topic is thrusted at him, but he immediately looks away from him as if he is annoyed.

"... it's not like that"

He let out a deep sigh to his partner, who couldn't hide his feelings, and asked, not to confirm, but to point the finger at him.

"Is it okay to believe those words?"

Even if his heart wasn't calm, it wasn't that he didn't know what Lloyd's intentions were.
Finn clearly nodded half to Lloyd and half to himself.

“Then, you don’t have any particular affection for Mei-san?”

Finn was irritated by Lloyd who asked the same questions over and over again.

"Mei-chan is a cute junior. The same with Arthur and the other girls. Is this fine?"

There's no doubt that Finn has some extraordinary feelings towards Mei, but he at least knows that letting it out won't do him any good. After confirming that, Lloyd asks him the last question.

"Then, what do you think about those five people, not just Mei-san? It's not a consideration of their origins or background relationships, it's purely about their likes and dislikes."

Finn was puzzled by the sudden change in the flow of the story, but was pushed by Lloyd's serious gaze and tone, and after thinking a little, he opened his mouth.

“I don’t dislike them, or rather, I like them in general. Even if you simply look at it as a human being, there is nothing you dislike, and there are a lot of things you like. He’s hard to dislike unless you're jealous of him because you have a complex when you're with him... Well, I don't know what will happen if Arthur finds out what we're doing. Anyway, what’s with this? This question."
Lloyd nodded at Finn's honest answer and stood up and urged Finn to accompany him.

“Roughly I have the same opinion. Based on that, there is something I want to talk about, so please accompany me for a while.”
“Something we cannot talk about here?”
"Yeah, it seems that no one is listening, but just in case, in our room."
"……alright"

When the two of them returned to the room, Lloyd immediately locked the door and sat down on his bed.
Finn also sits down on his own bed, where the remnants of last night's action remain, and faces Lloyd.

"So what is it that you don't want people to hear?"

Lloyd looked straight into Finn's eyes, and he said it with his usual attitude.

"I'm thinking of turning those four into prostitutes."
