Why Ignorant Harems Are Dangerous

2 – #01. Unexpected meeting (1)

Nothing in the world of fantasy has changed my life significantly.

It wasn’t that he had the fraudulent abilities that only appear in novels, and he couldn’t actually bring something from modern times into this world.

Of course, the ability to be loved by all women can be fraudulent in some sense, but I swore I wouldn’t use it, so I was just a weirdo with a face covered.

“Oh, the mask. Is there anything special today?”

As I was walking on the street in a daze, I turned my head to the call around me.

Mask.

Not many called me by such a ridiculous name, and when I turned my head, a mercenary with whom I often teamed up was waving at me.

“Just.”

“The answer is very poor.”

“I really don’t have anything to say.”

The previous peddling was completed safely, and the money I had saved was sufficient, so I was able to live without any major problems for the time being.

At my answer, he sneered and shook his head.

“That’s because you don’t go to brothels or gamble. The other guys are already complaining about their pain and only going in and out of the union, wondering if there is anything they can do.”

“That’s your problem.”

“Well, that’s right.”

I thought my answer was dry, but he shrugged his shoulders and agreed with me.

To be honest, I’ve already hugged a woman until I got tired of it.

Those who were so beautiful, those who were so lovely.

Now, I didn’t want to have such a one-sided relationship, and the relationship with a woman was very burdensome. I can’t go back to the present, so I’m satisfied with just living somehow.

“But it’s a bit annoying without you.”

“Was my skill that good?”

Five years after she threw herself away from her luxurious and extravagant life and escaped.

During that time, I did various things.

Tried commerce, transportation and simple manual labor.

However, no matter what he did, he eventually had no money, so he settled down as a mercenary who made the most money with the lightly learned swordsmanship, but even that didn’t happen.

At my words, he shook his head.

“No, no. Are you really helpful? As you know, our knife eaters must have bad heads. Does it break your head to calculate and act on this and that?”

“This is absurd.”

As I was about to take my steps back with a light reply, he tapped me on the shoulder and drew my attention.

“Let’s have a meal later. It’s not like eating separately every time.”

“…… If there is a chance.”

Even if you answer yourself, it’s nothing, but unfortunately, it didn’t seem like you would have that opportunity.

If you want to eat, you have no choice but to expose your mouth.

I want to know what that would be like, but it was true that I didn’t want to expose my face, even to lower ranks, because my face was wanted throughout the continent.

Why did I come down to the farthest place from the imperial palace?

It was because I knew that such a one-sided relationship would harm each other, and more than anything else, I felt that their obsession was gradually evolving pathologically.

What has already happened cannot be undone.

I just had to hope that as time passed, the love born of this ability would fade little by little.

Please, I hope that all the girls who fell in love with me for no reason will find their own lives. So the country just wants to forget its existence.

Leaving behind such a short meeting, they walk the market again.

I didn’t have anything to do today, I was just going to buy some food and go home right away.

Since I always covered my face, I had few close friends even in the city where I stayed for about two years, and most of all, I myself did not prefer to hang out with others like that.

In the past, I also liked meeting people.

She just liked chatting with her friends for no reason, and she liked going out to play in moderation. On days when she went to the PC room, there were times when she spent her life playing games until dawn.

When I first fell into this world and realized my abilities, I thought it was a blessing.

It wasn’t that I didn’t miss my family and friends, but I thought there were more things on this continent than that.

A world where any woman will surely love me.

Isn’t it very attractive just to hear it in words?

“…… Whoa.”

She sighed lightly and confirmed what she had bought in advance.

Food ingredients are scarce, and the recent shortages, including abrasives, have been supplemented. Even if there was little use of the sword lately, maintenance could not be neglected.

Collecting such simple things, on the way home.

It was a house that I had diligently collected for about two years after I settled here, but I couldn’t afford it in the city center, and I managed to find it in a small village on a hillside slightly away from the city.

A distance that takes about an hour at a moderately fast pace.

At least, it was only after training their bodies to a certain extent, that usually the people living in the village gathered a group of people to drive a wagon or ride a donkey.

It seemed like it was close, but it was an ambiguous distance.

Slowly walking down the street, I looked at the spring scenery.

A world where monsters exist, magic exists, and knights exist.

It was literally a fantasy world that could only come out of a novel, but there were quite a few corners that were similar to the earth to some extent, including these four seasons.

In particular, the scenery of buds blooming was a natural scenery that is not often encountered in modern times, so even though it had been a while, my eyes were drawn to it.

Certainly, the scenery you would have grown tired of wandering around as a mercenary comes to you anew every time you spend time looking at it.

Maybe what I needed was a little bit of leisure.

I liked the time when I walked lightly on the road to the point where I felt funny.

Somehow, he lived desperately because he barely escaped, leaving behind everything he could enjoy, including luxury, power, goods, and women in the imperial palace.

Even if it was a fantasy, it was a world with various conveniences based on magic, but even that was not very familiar to strangers who were not familiar with this world.

It would be the same in any world, but it was too harsh for those without money.

Now he has settled down to a certain extent and even got a house like this, but there was a time when it was normal to spend a year or two sleeping in a nearby stable after running away from the imperial palace for the first time.

If you think about it, you’ve become a real person.

It seems like yesterday that I was sleeping on the street, but now I know how to use a sword, although I am a bit clumsy. A small thank you to the woman who taught me this.

With such a trivial thought in mind, I moved on.

An hour can be long, but if you walk aimlessly, it will pass quickly.

Feeling the moderately warm temperature, I feel quite bitter and a little relieved that the year in the fantasy world begins again.

I was somehow living in an unfamiliar world.

Even while wearing these uncomfortable things on my face.

“Haa… ….”

At least you can take it off once you get home.

To be honest, I didn’t write it because I liked it, so there were times when it was really cumbersome, and sometimes I even sweated.

Nevertheless, people around me say that he is a faceless guy or that he is a mask.

Would you like to use this?

While I was thinking that, I had already arrived in front of the house.

Since it is a bit far from the village, the neighborhood is quiet, so you can only hear the rustling of vegetation and the chirping of insects whenever the wind blows.

I moderately knocked on the doorknob and opened the door.

“I’m back.”

She put the bundle in her hand on the floor and turned her head away.

Usually around this time my little roommate answers, maybe he’s taking a nap? Still, I’ve never seen him take a nap.

Just as I was thinking that, I heard a thin voice from deep inside.

“…… Are you here?”

“Oh, there was.”

“…… That, uncle.”

However, something is strange about the reaction.

A little nervous voice. I was about to enter the room following the girl’s voice, but suddenly I turned my head to see the state of the living room.

There is nothing different from usual, but something is strange.

I don’t know how to explain it, but I still slightly frowned at this strange feeling of deja vu. Like the girl’s reaction, something is a little strange about the atmosphere inside.

Thought so, I grabbed the doorknob.

“Well, you say you’re a guest… ….”

The girl sat in her chair, shaking her body slightly nervously.

And she was the one sitting next to him.

“She’s wearing something weird on her face.”

It was an unforgettable and unforgettable face.

How can I forget that woman?

That purple hair and eyes of hers.

Her body was tight in black tights, and she wore two daggers at her waist. He couldn’t recognize a woman with clear features in a dress that was too familiar to her eyes.

“Your voice sounds almost the same, but what else is strange about that face?”

“…… What are you talking about?”

“The response is delayed. The answer is even more late.”

She was a woman who once loved and thought so.

One of the tragedies caused by my reckless ability.

Why? Why?

Such a question lingered in my head.

Where did you make a mistake?

In the first place, how far is it from the ecliptic to here? More than that, it was also questionable that she had accurately picked up my location, and most of all, it was even more questionable how the hell she wanted this place.

Of course, I’m a human too, so I didn’t completely cover this face, but at least I thought I’d handled it so it wouldn’t be a problem.

Did she make her mistake without even knowing it?

No, but something went wrong. In the first place, this city was not even an Imperial territory, so an arrest order from the Empire does not have force.

“…… If you don’t want to take it off, that’s fine.”

She rolled her eyes for a moment, but then she nodded her head and looked around her.

This is the little girl’s room.

While I was working as a mercenary, I was the only child who saved a living thing when I stopped by a village that was collapsing due to the plague.

“The mask on that face, and the blind girl. It’s really absurd.”

“…… That.”

The girl’s body flinched at the word that she was blind.

Of course, since she was blind, I thought of keeping her by her side and taking care of her, but it was a bit uncomfortable to say it openly.

“Did you think it was all over if you covered that proud face?”

“…… How did you find this place?”

“Most of the information on this continent comes to me, right? Did you really think you could hide from my eyes?”

I hoped you wouldn’t find me.

Maybe someday this ability will be released as time passes. So I hoped that they would return to their own lives soon.

“But, well, the option of covering your face isn’t too bad.”

She pursed her lips and furrowed her brow.

“Thanks to that, I won’t be fooled by her outstanding abilities.”

“…… Uh?”

“What are you looking at so strangely? Did you really think that ability would be permanent? It’s disgusting, on the contrary, because you feel too much narcissism towards yourself.”

Surprise for a moment.

She just shrugged her shoulders and stood up.

“Really, really?”

“What, what is it? Why are you burdened?”

“Really, that ability. …… Did that work out?”

At my question, she bit her lower lip.

This was a serious matter.

A problem that even the person with the ability cannot be sure of. She was away, hoping to do so, but there was no real guarantee that the reckless ability would be unleashed.

“…… Okay. I am fine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her legs gave way.

If this happens, will other people gradually get better? Can you stop looking for me without meaning now and go back to your own life?

Thinking about that brought a smile to my face.

“I’m glad. Really, really…….”

“…… Tsk.”

She clicked her tongue, but she didn’t mind and let out a silly laugh for a while.

It’s good to know that this isn’t a permanent ability.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t take off this mask, nor can you rectify the wrongs you’ve committed, but at least those left behind can improve.

I could be satisfied with that alone.
