The Great Sage Who Did not Remain in Legend - 33.3

“Honestly, Vanessa… I’ll take her back later, so let her sleep for now.”

“Make sure you really take her back.”

Mergin worries that he might be leaving her here.

After listening to various stories about hunters for a while, Vanessa woke up.

“Bathroom…”

“This way.”

Vanessa, rubbing her eyes, is taken to the bathroom by Iris.

And then…

“Ugh! My butt was licked by a slime!”

Iris should have explained the bidet, but groggy Vanessa didn’t seem to hear it and came running out with her pants down.

Mergin turns his eyes away.

“V-Vanessa-san. That’s for washing your butt. I explained it earlier, didn’t I?”

“B-but…”

“Vanessa… Could you at least put on some underwear before coming out? Even we don’t want to see you like that.”

Cisco is exasperated at Vanessa’s appearance.

“Huh? Ahhh!”

Whoosh, bang

Vanessa, face bright red, went back into the bathroom and didn’t come out for a while.

“D-did you see?”

Vanessa, coming out after a while, asks Mergin with a red face.

“I-I didn’t see…”

“Then why did you look away? You saw it, didn’t you? Take responsibility!”

“Why should I take responsibility for someone who came out with her butt exposed?”

“You saw it, didn’t you—Mergin, you pervert!”

Thud

“It’s your fault. Even if Mergin was in love with you, seeing you like that would make anyone lose interest in a hundred-year love.”

Cisco says, exasperated.

“Well, when we arrived here, I thought I was being attacked by a slime, so I was scared. It can’t be helped if I mistook it for another slime.”

“That’s your own fault. We even opposed you trying to open the door on your own, and you didn’t listen. You’re the one who should apologize for showing such an unpleasant sight.”

Good. Cisco seems like a reasonable person.

Vanessa mumbles about how she thinks her butt is nice and clean, even though others see it as unpleasant.

“So, Mergin.”

“What?”

“How are you going to take responsibility for seeing my butt before marriage?”

“Huh?”

“If this gets out, Vanessa won’t be able to get married. If that happens, will you take her?”

“W-why?”

“That’s the custom in the capital. But since it’s just us here, if we stay quiet, it might not get out. What do you think?”

Thus, Mergin is coerced by the shrewd Cisco into giving up his magic book.

It’s like being blackmailed…

Mergin reluctantly agrees.
