Chapter 179: First Time as a Pair

Seeing Rin’s lack of response, Waste Hero added another sentence.

"Living together~"

"？"

Although Rin had expected this quirky individual with a different way of thinking from normal humans, there had been quite a few hiccups along the way.

But never did he expect it to start so soon, not even a quarter of an hour into boarding the ship.

What were you just saying?

Rin, expressionless, locked eyes with the equally expressionless Emilia, "Where’s the key?"

"Lost?"

"…"

She tried to hold back, but couldn’t resist. Rin reached out and grabbed her face tightly, pulling it hard.

"Ouch."

"Silly cat, do you think I’m a walking stick? I only gave you the key for a few minutes, where did you lose it?"

"Walk… walkway, ouch."

Despite feeling annoyed, Rin remained calm in his tone.

"Alright, since there are no passengers now, it should be somewhere around here. Go and find it for me right away."

While speaking, he pulled her face outward, raising his voice slightly.

"Ouch, Rin, it hurts."

"You lying rogue, it hurts so much."

When Rin let go of her face, Emilia rubbed her own face gently, trying hard to mimic the silly elk’s look of grievance, but failed several times.

By deliberately widening her eyes, pouting, and maintaining a face and eyes devoid of any expression, Emilia amused Rin, who reached out and patted her head.

"You silly goose, stop messing around, go rest, there will be delicious food when you wake up."

Saying this, Rin put his arm around her shoulder, trying to push Waste Hero out.

However, Waste Hero at this moment was so stubborn that she could only take one step before she couldn’t be budged.

"What’s wrong with you again?"

"I want to sleep with tundere."

With such a resolute voice, Emilia turned around, hugged his waist tightly, lifted her head, and looked at him pleadingly.

"Can I, meow~"

Even though Rin couldn’t tell her expression, but being fluent in Waste Hero’s language level ten, he instantly understood that she was trying to act cute.

His heart rate sped up a bit, feeling provoked, Rin quickly turned his head, standing firm, "No, no! I’ve said it many times, men and women can’t sleep together…"

Emilia took a step forward, facing her again, "So, why did tundere and the naughty fox sleep together?"

"…That, that was obviously coercion! If I could win against her…"

As Rin spoke, he turned his back again, looking even more awkward.

At this moment, Waste Hero’s presence suddenly elevated, even though she didn’t bring out any weapons, the whole person seemed to be like a hidden wind blade in the sheath, revealing the heroic pressure.

"So, why did tundere and silly elk sleep together?"

"That was because of accidentally drinking too much! It wasn’t the intention of this lord!"

Rin widened his eyes, recalling that evening again. He felt like he had been caught by surprise and quickly moved away from Emilia.

Waste Hero came closer once more, tilting her head slightly. When Rin wasn’t looking, she reached out and pushed him over.

Rin stumbled for a moment and ended up sitting on the carpet with a thud. Before he could react, Waste Hero straddled him again.

Just as he tried to struggle and sit up, Waste Hero’s hands firmly held him down, making him unable to move.

He had already gained so much strength. Why was he still being pinned down?

Why, why was he still being held down so tightly?

Rin felt a chill in his heart until a cat’s paw curiously reached into his clothes, causing that ticklish and helpless feeling. His blood pressure soared once again.

How many times had this happened? Why wouldn’t these girls listen and show some common sense?

Could it be that he really looked so easy to bully?

Waste Hero or the silly elk or even the silly fox, that clumsy dog that looks like it doesn’t have much brain, always bullies him…

I can’t stand it anymore, I can’t stand it anymore!

"Jerk!"

Rin angrily yelled, and while Waste Hero was stunned by his yelling, he suddenly used all his strength to swap positions with Waste Hero.

Sitting on top of her, holding her wrists, looking at the dumbfounded Waste Hero who couldn’t resist, Rin suddenly felt a sense of victory.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, who is now able to resist the heroine’s halo, and can even turn the tables and bully Emilia in a crucial moment."

As a villain, the basic task is to be beaten up by the heroine, but provoking and bullying the heroine appropriately, creating conflicts, increasing the heroine’s hatred value, is also one of the advanced courses.

"Please continue to work hard, and increase the animosity between the male and female leads."

Rin really wanted to ask how the trash system came back to life, but there were more important things to deal with at the moment.

"You stupid cat who doesn’t know any better, always taking advantage of my tolerance recklessly. If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely tie you up and throw you into the fish-catching box!"

This time, Emilia was not scared by the fish, but instead she twisted her body, with a rare pink tint on her cheeks. Her expression also showed a slight change, and her empty eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

"Meow~"

A sticky meow, as if a fluffy kitten’s paw scratched Rin’s heart, making him feel an indescribable itch. His grip loosened slightly.

Waste Hero didn’t try to escape but instead she held his hand and placed it on her chest, saying, "Silly elk, can I…not do it?"

Rin’s hand shook, almost biting his tongue, "So…you, silly cat, how did you know that night Silly elk and I were in the same room?"

"Eve, speak."

Waste Hero’s tone was somewhat low, "Elise, Suyu, why, clearly, I was the first to know, I entered the room, and it was me…feeling so uncomfortable, heartbroken, almost dying."

Her eyes, misty, gradually formed into tears, sliding down the corners of her eyes.

Then, she blankly reached out her hand, wiping away the tears, looking at them curiously.

"…"

Previously anxious due to ambiguity, Rin now became heavy-hearted, experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions making him very complicated.

He could sense that Waste Hero’s dependence on him was more than just friends, especially emotions that even talent could not suppress…

Both touched and guilty.

He didn’t know why he felt guilty, even though he was the one being mistreated by this group of foolish people and looked really bad, but… he felt sorry for Waste Hero.

Perhaps because there is an unequal relationship of dependence and need between them.

So, why does this silly cat depend on him so much?

Am I really spoiling him?

Rin’s heart felt soft, he squatted in front of Emilia, helping her sit up and gently rubbing Emilia’s face.

"Um… actually, I can take in those homeless little stray cats who cry all the time, it’s just, please stop whining, it’s annoying, go wash up quickly, don’t dirty my room!"

Emilia blinked her eyes, shining a little, and grabbed Rin’s hand again, placing it on her heart.

"Tundere, the best, meow~ so happy!"

"What do you like… um?"

Rin acknowledged being lazy, but he felt happy, especially when he heard the word ‘like’, he couldn’t help but smile.

It didn’t matter what kind of liking it was, as long as he was happy.

"Although, here, there are no chubby rabbits, here, there are, no matter, what Rin, wants to do, can do…"

The tone of the last word was a bit strange, but Rin didn’t care because Emilia unexpectedly lifted her skirt… revealing a cute cartoon cat pattern, staring at herself.

"！"

Rin was shocked at the time, his head buzzing, feeling flushed all over. He quickly pushed away her hand, opened his mouth to scold, "Waste Hero! Don’t do things out of the blue!"

"No, I must set some rules with you! If you want to use my room, you must behave and listen to me obediently! Such shameless behavior cannot happen again! No kissing without my permission either!"

Emilia thought for a moment, then obediently nodded, "I understand, I will be very well-behaved, meow."

Seeing her agree so quickly, Rin began to doubt a bit.

But she had already agreed firmly, so there was no turning back.

"So, where’s the key?"

"In the inventory."

"Hmm, I knew it. From now on, when I read, you go back to your room and don’t disturb me."

Rin pinched her cheek again. "I was already so tired, and now I have to deal with a naughty cat. I need to freshen up and sleep!"

With that, he went straight into the bathroom.

Actually, the lounge on the cruise ship was much smaller compared to hotels, but it was fully functional, although not as luxurious as the top VIP rooms.

The bathroom could easily accommodate two people, as it was originally designed for up to three people.

Rin had just gone in, and Emilia came in too, but she just stood there blankly on the side, watching Rin brush his teeth.

After Rin finished washing up, seeing her still standing there, he urged, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and brush your teeth, you’re so dirty."

Of course, it had been said before that hero Sword Saint Princess and Demon King didn’t need to tidy up like him, but… not cleaning up always made them feel dirty.

Emilia approached him, took out her own small cat toothbrush and toothpaste, squeezed some toothpaste, licked it, rinsed her mouth, and licked it again.

"？"

Rin was stunned for a moment, "You… do you usually do this?"

Although he had called Emilia to wake up before, they both took care of their personal hygiene separately, so he hadn’t really seen how she did it.

Waste Hero tilted her head, stared at him, then swallowed the toothpaste with a slight throat movement.

"Isn’t this right?"

"Do you have any common sense at all? Haven’t you lived a few years like a normal person before awakening? Can’t even brush your teeth!?"

Waste Hero looked at her orange-flavored toothpaste, "But, in the fishing village, they all clean with a sponge, haven’t used…"

Rin held his head in pain, wanting to ask her if she has seen a pig run even if she hasn’t eaten pork before, but then thought that she might be daydreaming and not really paying attention.

"Forget it, just consider me unlucky."

Taking a deep breath, Rin used his own toothbrush to demonstrate, "It should be like this… like this, then rinse your mouth…"

Emilia tilted her head and suddenly tried to put her toothbrush into Rin’s mouth.

Rin was surprised once again by her unconventional and unpredictable thinking, snatched her toothbrush, and squeezed toothpaste onto it again.

He urged with a tone of disdain, "Open your mouth."

"Ah~"

Rin carefully cleaned her mouth, Emilia widened her eyes, a hint of pink spread in her eye sockets, her cheeks turned slightly red, and her body trembled slightly.

"Weir..d."

"Don’t speak! Don’t eat the toothpaste!"

Rin leaned in, still looking serious, but his actions were gentle despite his fierce tone. He complained, "I can’t believe how useless you are. I’ve never taken care of anyone like this before. This is the first time I’ve helped someone brush their teeth. If you dare draw your sword at me in the future, I’ll definitely poke you to death, you ungrateful silly cat."

Emilia wanted to retort, but the sensation in her mouth rushed to her brain and spread throughout her body, even her hero talent couldn’t suppress it…

It felt like being sick, weak and powerless as if she hadn’t awakened yet.

Yes, her talent failed.

Is this tundere’s magic? I really…really like it.

She tried not to sit down, her eyes squinted, looking obedient to the extreme.

"Rinse your mouth."

While still feeling drowsy, Waste Hero heard Rin’s voice. She unconsciously leaned against the water tank, took a few sips, and was about to swallow when Rin patted her back, causing her to spit it out instantly.

Then Waste Hero looked blankly at the water tank handed to her again, this time she obediently finished the final task.

Her body, still feeling weak and tired, didn’t want to move and didn’t want to think about anything, just wanted to curl up in his arms.

With this thought in mind, Miss Hero immediately took action. Before she could stick it on, a towel was already stuck on her face.

After wiping her randomly, Rin pointed to the door, "I need to take a shower, hurry and leave."

"Together."

"Together my foot! Get out!"

Rin pointed his head in a cross shape, "If you don’t listen, I’ll kick you back to your room."

"Oh."

Waste Hero nodded reluctantly, walked out of the bathroom, lay straight on the bed without moving.

That feeling lingered, feeling so comfortable and looking forward to the next time.

When Rin came out, he saw a cute meow hero wearing cat pajamas in a corner of the bed, curled up in a ball looking insecure.

Initially wanted her to take a shower, but seeing her sleeping so peacefully, decided against it.

Sigh, really have no way with this guy.

This clueless guy, even if he gets married, still needs to be taken care of like a daughter.

Huh, get married?

Rin felt a pang in his heart, quickly pushed aside his messy thoughts, afraid that Waste Hero might fall off, so he pulled her towards the middle, closer to himself.

Alright, time to go to sleep!
