Beat the Boss Mob chapter 48

48 - Someone's Hometown

48 – Someone’s Hometown

‘Do it in moderation. He’s about to get annoyed.’

Rion, who was watching Enlil from a distance, spat out a curse inwardly.

New people appeared when he heard the news that he would return to his hometown for a while.

Then he clung to Enlil and began to talk all sorts of strange things.

Sometimes I should have met and said hello, but I was busy and couldn’t.

I have a lot of trouble fighting the existence of chaos several times in the tower. Thank you so much.

I always support you, so I will respect whatever choice you make, and so on.

The reason for this is actually obvious. I wonder if I was suspicious.

Since entering the academy, since going to the tower, since becoming a hero, there has never been anything like that.

It was clear that Enlil was very frightened of suddenly wanting to go home.

“It’s just a fleeting wind. I just suddenly became curious about news from my hometown people.”

“An escort? Not at all. He’s a hero in his own right, but it’s rather strange to receive something like that.”

“It’s enough for the party to have Instructor Leon.”

“I think I will be back in two weeks.”

In the meantime, Enlil answered sincerely without any sign of annoyance or dislike.

Since he was even smiling, it seemed a bit difficult to ask back, “Really?”

If that’s what you’re aiming for, it probably means that Enlil has a good social life.

I guess that’s why Chief Instructor Edmund reacted so awkwardly.

Because it was obvious that people who were frightened by the unexpected news would flock to it.

Should I scratch the heart of Enlil, who clung to my side?

Leon shook his head as if he couldn’t see him anymore and moved on.

Then he roughly pushed aside the humans trying to figure out Enlil’s intentions.

“Oops!”

“Get out of the way. What are you doing by blocking someone who wants to go home?”

“I’m just saying hello, but it’s too much.”

Rion smiled at the small complaints of some people.

Of course, the next words were not meant to be laughed at.

“Really? It looks like he’s worried that someone might run away if he sees it. Isn’t it?”

The core they are trying to hide, they stab precisely.

To say thank you, to ask how you are doing, you say things like that.

The truth is, he fears that Enlil’s heart may have turned his back.

So, aren’t they trying to make the number of cases inevitable to come back?

“Let’s go. Enlil. If the schedule is delayed like this, what are you going to hear again?”

Leon, who grabbed Enlil’s hand, took his step without looking back.

Of course I heard people talking behind me, but I ignored them all.

Worthless horses, those that have never entered the tower and never even fought against the demons outside.

These are disgusting people who claim to be the weak and take the sacrifice of the strong for granted.

“I… School, Instructor?”

“Nothing to worry about. I don’t care what they say. It’s because those who are already just cowards are just talking when they get more scared.”

“I think that….”

“We just have to go quickly and come back quickly. Rather, that is better.”

I didn’t let go of Enlil’s hand that I was holding onto, but I held onto it even stronger.

The two men and women headed to the moving magic circle together and disappeared beyond it.

*

Are you expecting this kind of reaction? Of course I did. Can’t it be

Even if you are yourself, you will be worried. You may be scared.

Because the pillar you depended on up until now, the shining hope may suddenly disappear.

Only those in the know know the feeling of despair when a place you look forward to disappears.

That is why Enlil kept clinging to her side and begging for a detailed answer.

I dealt with people who turned around and asked for things without saying anything.

Anyway, doing this doesn’t change anything.

It’s not like I’m going to change my mind about going home.

It’s also not something I really want to put down because I feel irritated.

So, you just need to be patient with me for a very short time.

Yes. That’s all. There’s nothing particularly difficult about it.

“Let’s go.”

On the contrary, the one who got angry was Leon, who asked if he didn’t have that much faith.

Perhaps someone who has nothing to do with you leaves behind all the words that will pour out on you.

He was willing to give his hand for just one person.

Ah, I will correct it. It would be more correct to say that I did not give my hand, but snatched it.

“I… School, Instructor?”

It could be embarrassing for each other, so you can just let it go.

I was about to say that, but Leon blocked Enlil’s mouth.

Does it mean that I should stop talking nonsense and quietly hold my hand?

“….”

The hand holding his hand is very strong. It hurts a little bit.

To the extent that I suddenly remembered the owner of the tower who grabbed me by the collar.

But the pain had nothing to do with it.

I don’t want you to let go like this again. I hope this fever continues.

All these things I’ve never received before, I wanted a little more.

The two men and women left the academy in a moving magic circle in an instant.

After that, as if they had made a promise, other people clung to them, but Leone knocked them all out.

If the schedule is delayed because of you, it’s a mutual loss, but wouldn’t it be better to step back?

Through a threat or something like that, asking if I shouldn’t do something stupid and have strange thoughts.

“The disgusting bastards. It’s all gone now.”

Starting at the academy, entering a city far away from there, and then completely out of sight, the hands of the man and woman continued to be together.

Enlil was ashamed to say this himself, and Leon was still concerned about Enlil.

“Are you okay?”

It’s okay. Could it be that it wouldn’t be okay? Rather, I feel better than usual.

A smile for no reason keeps trying to escape from your lips.

Ah, I shouldn’t have laughed here. Then it would look strange.

Enlil struggled hard to hold back her smile.

However, it seemed to have a completely different meaning to Leon.

“… Nothing to worry about. Did you say They’re all cowards. I’ve pretended to be okay until now, but in the end, without you or other warriors, I’m just a person, a weakling.”

I really don’t mind. It’s fine. That person is so… Weird.

It’s strange, but it’s not bad either. Rather, it is fun and new every time I see it.

Usually, while showing the appearance that no one cares.

He’s a human, but he’s giving off a strange atmosphere that doesn’t look like a human at all.

At a moment like this, approaching me more like a person than anyone else.

Pup!―

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Enlil burst out laughing at her.

“Enlil?”

“Oh, sorry. Sorry… Whoop, whoop!”

Enlil, who had looked gloomy just a moment ago, couldn’t hide that emotion easily, and her lips snuggled up.

It was only natural that Leon, who was in a serious mood, was surprised when she started to laugh.

“What is it? Were you okay?”

“Yes. It was fine. Rather, it was nothing.”

“Then, that wasn’t about putting up with smoke… It was like that. It was like that.”

Leon, who was muttering something, suddenly tousled her hair.

I cursed at the people from before, saying, “They were scared.”

Didn’t he himself make a guess and set out to save Enlil?

“No.”

Leon let out a sigh and realized that he was still holding Enlil’s hand.

Looking at it like this, it seems that I was holding it too tightly without realizing it.

I was about to let go of Enlil’s hand that I was holding in a hurry—

“… Enlil?”

“You want to grab it and run away at will? No, I do not want. This time it is my turn.”

It seems that he gained courage from the other person’s misunderstanding and his actions.

Thanks to this, Leon had to hold Enlil’s hand for a long time after that.

The road back home was unexpectedly quiet and peaceful.

I heard that monsters have been appearing all over the place lately and are confusing the world.

If it weren’t for the mana practice training, and if it wasn’t for the Seria teaching.

It was something that Enlil might have taken a break from time to time to subdue the beasts.

Fortunately, that didn’t happen. Apparently, starting with the monster hunters, the candidates for the hero.

And even the knights and ordinary soldiers are gritting their teeth and fighting.

“It seems like everyone is working hard behind the scenes.”

Enlil hastens his steps with a smile.

Leon grumbled inwardly behind him.

Isn’t it obvious? You and Seria are struggling to die like that.

The other warriors have long since become unrecognized guests and are wandering around the tower.

It’s not that great that people who benefited from it fight, it’s just how it should be.

However, I couldn’t say it out loud.

Enlil’s reaction won’t be very good, and above all, he himself is one of the reasons.

He is said to have become the owner of the tower by force, but in any case, isn’t it the culprit of the Witchbeast?

“I want to hear the story of Instructor Leone’s hometown.”

“My hometown?”

“Yes. Come to think of it, I’ve been with Instructor Leone all along, but I’ve never heard of that part.”

“This isn’t a particularly pleasant story.”

“Oh! If I’ve made a mistake….”

“Not really.”

More than home. It’s home It’s not as beautiful and full of hope as Enlil expects.

Above all, when I think about it, I feel like I just get dizzy.

I tried to answer that it was just a place like that, but-

“From the look on his face, I can feel that he doesn’t have much to say. Don’t do that, tell me.”

I was caught. This hurts my pride a bit.
