Harassing Thief Girl - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

New Record

For the first time since everything began–with the exception of the Warren Guild Masters Baltis, Theseus, and Flint–men were allowed inside the mansion .
The three men of the Lorenburg house: Leopold, Ferdinand, and Hymel were visiting .
Along with them was the wife of the family, Lux, who was standing by along with Aiful and Credia .
“Because Father, Hymel and Grandfather already have accommodations in the city, they are just stopping by for now . ”
A slight breach in the rules was fine for family .
“Um, as I understand it, isn’t entry for men strictly prohibited here?”
Leopold was somewhat nervous as he danced about in front of Reeve .
“I’d like to see how this toilet of yours works . ”
Ferdinand was much more curious about the rumors he’d heard .
“There is a toilet at Master’s Hideaway that uses the same mechanism as ours, so just look at that,” Reeve replied .
Leopold didn’t know what to say while Ferdinand was clearly looking depressed for some reason .
Was this the difference in personalities showing?

11 people ate dinner together at a restaurant inside the city after which Leopold and Ferdinand left for their inn while Ellis returned home .
“So, what should we do with him nya?”
Katie pointed Hymel out .
According to the plan, he was supposed to leave for the inn with his father, but he followed his mother Lux instead .
His appearance was a cute shota . Unfortunately, there was no room for any shotas in this house .
“He’s a child, so don’t bully him . ”
In response to Reeve’s words, Ellis turned towards her and whispered back,
“I’m a child too though?”
Reeve looked away and didn’t respond .

In the living room after returning home .
Ellis was sitting in front of Hymel .
Hymel was sitting there looking like he wanted to say something .
Ellis aimed for Hymel’s right cheek .
*WHACK!*
Reeve, Frau, Claire, and Katie fell into a panic .
Ellis aimed for the left cheek of Hymel who was trying to figure out what he had done to deserve to be hit like that .


*WHACK!*
Hymel cried out in pain while Lux cried out in shock .
“Ellis, what are you doing all of a sudden!”
Lux protested Ellis’s actions while holding Hymel close to her chest .
Ellis then forcibly peeled Hymel away from his mother’s grip .
*WHACK!*
“Stop it, Stop it!” Reeve forcibly put a stop to the affair by inserting herself inbetween Ellis and her younger brother .
“What is this? What is this?” Lux was clearly panicking .
Hymel was crying while tightly holding on to his mother .

“Do you know what it means to have a lone man here?” Ellis cried out .
“Or is he not a man?”
Hymel couldn’t answer Ellis’s question .
Lux’s panic grew deeper .
“Ellis, what are you talking about? What are you talking about!?”
Hmph . Ellis smiled while looking down at the boy .
“What about it? Are you going to keep clutching to Mommy, or are you going to go back to the inn in the city?”
Everyone went rigid .
“What are you asking Mistress? Don’t be so unreasonable . ”
Reeve pleaded with her .
“Reeve, why do you allow this girl here?”
“Hymel is still a child . Forgive me!”
Lux, who still had no idea what was going on, was shaking while holding Hymel tightly to her chest .
Aiful and Credia also had no idea what was going on and decided to remain quiet .
But Frau, Claire, and Katie understood what Ellis was doing .
Therefore, they didn’t stop her .
“Hmph, if he’s a child, then I guess he can handle this sort of thing . He can take a bath with Reeve . Don’t forget to bring the pet’s pail . ”

And at the bath .
Lux, Aiful, and Credia were honestly surprised . This place was the fit of luxury .
Reeve was also surprised . Surprised at Ellis’s cruelty .


Hymel was left standing next to the pet’s pail .
“You’re a child aren’t you? This should be enough . ”
Ellis stubbornly rejected Hymel .
“I beg you, please give me a break . ”
“Shut up Reeve!”
Ellis was unusually intense in this .
“How do you feel hanging around an undaunted boy like this?”
Ellis refused to stop her abuse .
But Frau, Claire, and Katie would not move from their usual positions .
Lux didn’t know what to do . Aiful and Credia had no choice but to sit there and watch .

Hymel was crying .
He was ashamed of himself for crying .
His tears, rolling down his cheeks were hot .
He cried and cried, until finally he started to really think about why all this abuse was being thrown at him .
Am I being hated?
Wrong .
Did I do something bad?
Wrong .
What do I want to do?
Damn it .
Damn it .
Damn it .
“Why is a flat-chested girl like you acting so proud about!?”
I yelled out as loud as I could .
And I felt refreshed .
Here we go, bring it on!

Ellis smiled .
“Correct . ”
And she continued .
“Let’s dry you out . ”

Hymel became the youngest Scarlet Laundry on record .
After being dyed red and formally hung, Frau quickly drove the Magical horse towards the Adventurer’s Guild . Lux left after them riding with Katie .
Hymel, hung from the eaves of the Adventurer’s guild house laughed alongside Theseus .
“Oh, it’s the youngest record to date!” Buzz yelled out .
“What a fine spectacle!” Doug declared .
And Hymel was brought down along with the arrival of Leopold and Ferdinand who Reeve had called .
“Hemp shirts are 10,000 ril . ”
Leopold laughed at Theseus’s declaration .
“Oh, it’s cheaper than I heard!”
Hymel was ten years old, and he was wrapped up with gold, black, red, and white ribbons . He was decorated with four different colored ribbons, dyed red, and strung up .
It served as proof that he was a man in Warren .
“Alright, let’s go take a bath Hymel!”
Ferdinand was practically singing as he said the words .
“That sounds nice . ” Leopold was almost as excited as his father .
And like that, the three Lorenburg men spent their night in Warren thoroughly enjoying what the city had to offer .

“Ellis is kind . ”
Claire’s words resounded in the living room .
Today, Claire would be sleeping in Ellis’s room to allow Aiful and Credia to have a bed to sleep in .
“Hmm, I did something boring . ”
The hikineet felt that she had done something unnecessary .
It was because she had seen herself as a child inside the young Hymel .
Always wandering around alone, just blankly staring forward as people did as they pleased to her .
“Hmph . ”
Then, sat herself down next to Ellis .
“Ellis, I love you . ”
A sudden kiss .
Ellis froze .
She was the passive one again .
Then, Pi-tan interrupted them with a sudden moan .
Kyu~ Kyu~
Pi-tan then spat out two beads .
They were
Flying Phoenix¹ magic crystal and an Exorcism magic crystal .

Ellis became excited once again .

Flying Phoenix magic crystal – For a certain period of time, damage is tripled . 25% chance to bind the foe on damage . Required MP: 3 . Command word: {Fang of the sky} .

Exorcism magic crystal – Can deal damage to undead . Undead receive twice as much damage . Twice the amount of damage dealt is restored to the user . Necessary MP: 0 . Command word: none . Autonomous type .

After everything was explained to her, Claire also began jumping for joy .
These were names for magic tools that she had never heard before .
And there was also the obvious bonus . The effects of the two same type magic tools were not only combined, they were amplified .
Flying Phoenix = Flying Swallow + Stupor + α
Exorcism = Inhalation + Purification + α

“The ability to be able to fight that high demon might be just around the corner . ”
Ellis nodded to Claire’s words .
“We’ll have to strengthen all of our equipment from now on . ”
And Ellis and Claire nodded together .
They would continue to conduct even more experiments from now on .
Meanwhile, Pi-tan was giving them both a sideways glance clearly asking them, “Does that mean I get more snacks?”

Like this, Reeve, Frau, Katie, and Lux returned to the mansion .
Lux would be sleeping with Reeve in her room .

Good night . Tomorrow would be another busy day .

1 . This is a reference to a Japanese saying . The saying goes something like, how can a small bird (like a swallow) understand the aspirations of a great bird (a phoenix); Only a hero can understand a hero
