Yuri Slave (GXG) (GIRLXGIRL) (GL)

Interlude 1

- Two days after Flamm was sold to slave merchants.

Of course, at the appointed meeting time Flamm did not show up in the basement of the castle. Jean spoke up after everyone else had arrived.

"Flamm has returned to her hometown. She will not participate in the trip any more."

"Huh?"

The first person that reacted was surprisingly the hero Cyrille. She gave a wide-eyed stare at the Sage Jean.

The remaining four merely showed a small reaction. The witch Eterna gently furrowed her brow. The warrior Gadio softly exhaled. The saintess Maria sighed while the archer Linus muttered "that might be better."

"How do you know that?"

Cyrille's voice trembled as she asked the question. Jean showed a bitter expression for a moment. When Flamm left the party, he thought that she would clearly disappear from Cyrille's heart. How sweet. In her heart, the existence of Flamm is still interfering.

"I convinced her that it's impossible to accompany the party any more. She was also keenly aware of it, so she decided to go back home by herself."

"By her own decision..."

"That's right, so forget her already. She was never useful, don't you agree?"

"No..."

Jean thinks he is a man that is suitable for Cyrille. Compared to his 28 years of age, she is 16 years old. He may be somewhat too old but the important thing is not her age, but her talent. For the sake of his descendants, it is desirable to marry an equal or better.

He always thought so even before joining the hero's party. And then he met her. The ideal "raw material," Cyrille Swicca.

However, the first to get close to her was not Jean, but a girl like garbage - no talent, no strength, no useful role - Flamm. It seems that a great connection was gained by having come out of a similar background.

He was angry due to his injured pride. The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt. Why should Cyrille choose Flamm over him? Shouldn't excellent human beings be attracted to each other?

That's why he started making steady plans to guide things in the right direction.

Planning was Jean's specialty. It was thanks to his blessed talent and a tremendous amount of planning that he gained the position of a Sage. For him, it was easy to chase out Flamm in order to take Cyrille's mind off of her.

"Was that rude?" Jean walked close to Cyril and hugged her shoulders as he asked her the question.

"......Yup."

Cyrillic says softly and nods her head.

As Jean planned, she at least recognized that Flamm was incompetent. The disturbing person was no longer there. She had been sold as a slave and will no longer appear in front of Cyrille. So, there is nothing to worry about. Cyrille will eventually scrape the dirt named Flamm out of her heart and follow his lead in the right direction.

Other than Cyrille, there was no one who questioned Flamm's departure.

Cyrille activated the return magic. The room was wrapped in light and the six people transferred to the last progress point.

Jean was excited as if he was a child on Christmas morning, just to be able to go on a journey without Flamm.

"Hey Cyrille, Jean, wait!" Linus's irritating voice echoed in the demonic territory.

How many times has he called the names of two people this way?
