I Became a Hero Traveling With Saint Mesgaki chapter 1

Chapter 1 – Lady ○○○○

Episode 1

An ordinary college student that can be found everywhere.

A college student who lives with part-time jobs and assignments, is dragged away by a senior he doesn’t really want to meet, and is forced to drink alcohol he doesn’t want to drink.

That was me. I had to go through a lot of assignments and hardly enjoy my daily life, so the only way to relieve stress was to look at my phone.

Because you can get a lot of fun in a short amount of time, and you can look into it for a second while doing assignments.

I relieved my stress by watching short shorts videos, webtoons and web novels that I could easily watch in 5 minutes or less.

Because life is busy. I liked the game, but I honestly didn’t have the time to play it. At most, an hour or two a week?

A change happened to me who was living such a hard life. It’s very out of the blue.

I must have finished my assignment by 4:00 am and fell asleep on my desk, but when I woke up, I saw a strange ceiling.

It was the first time I had experienced it, but I got used to it through countless indirect experiences.

“… sh*t, if you were going to do this, you wouldn’t have done the assignment.”

I was possessed by a novel.

#

There was no problem in grasping the situation. It’s a situation I’ve often seen in numerous web novels and webtoons.

The only problem was that I didn’t know which novel I was possessed by.

“I’ve never read anything like this before.”

I lived alone in the house, and it was a very peaceful village outside. The novel I read last night was a zombie apocalypse, but no matter how you look at it, the time period here is the Middle Ages. The fact that there was a building and not a single car in sight was telling the time zone of this place.

I’ve seen a few medieval fantasies, but I’ve never seen a novel with such a peaceful atmosphere. Most of the medieval fantasy I saw was a work with a dark atmosphere.

In front of the front door, someone tapped me on the shoulder and started talking to me, who was in deep trouble.

“Hey, Abel. What are you so worried about?”

“… Uh?”

The person who spoke to me was a man with a very funny face. How can I express it? It’s a bit like saying this, but the philtrum was long, so it looked like a monkey.

Anyway, it seems my name is Abel.

Abel, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a novel with that name.

The monkey man looked at me silently for a while and then suddenly comforted me.

“Ugh, thinking about leaving this town is confusing, isn’t it? I understand. I lived in this town for 17 years, of course.”

“… Are you leaving town?”

Why me?

“So, weren’t you going today? They said they were coming to pick me up from the church.”

“Why are the churches looking for me?”

“… What did he eat wrong today? Of course it’s because I have to go with the saintess.”

The monkey man looked at me strangely. But I was just confused in my head.

Where am I going with the saintess?

I’ve never seen a novel like that.

I have never seen a novel in which a saintess appears in a web novel in which it is rarer for a saintess to be a woman.

“Is that today?”

“How is your sense of time? Yes, it’s today Are you sure you haven’t prepared at all?”

I just got possessed, so there’s no time to prepare. Monkey Nam saw my expression, sighed, and shook his head.

“You are in a bad mood today. I’ll help you, so let’s get ready quickly.”

Saying that, the monkey man opened the front door and entered. It’s a guess, but isn’t this my house?

I put off reporting it for trespassing, but I followed the monkey man into the house. Then the monkey man said.

“What, are you ready?”

“What?”

At the place the monkey man pointed to, there was a package I hadn’t prepared and a huge sword.

I didn’t prepare for it, but the question of why such a thing existed was quickly resolved. It must have been prepared by the original owner of this body.

‘… Anyway, I possessed this body, but where did the original owner go?’

I don’t know. Rather than that, I want to ask about the identity of that huge sword in front of me right now.

“What is that?”

“It’s your sword.”

“Mine?”

“Are you feeling a bit strange today? That’s the holy sword that symbolizes that you’ve been chosen as a hero.”

As soon as the word “Sacred sword” Came out of Monkey Man’s mouth, I froze.

The holy sword. It’s a very familiar word. In general, the one who uses the holy sword is the protagonist, and the profession of the protagonist can be known without having to say it.

“… Am I a warrior?”

“Yes. Did you dream something wrong yesterday, it seems the child has become an idiot.”

“…… No sorry I’m out of my mind.”

It’s not good for the monkey man to keep questioning my attitude. What if I get treated like a real weirdo?

How did you figure out the situation itself? So, I am a warrior, and today a saint from the church is coming to go on an adventure with me.

Looking at the situation, it seems like a common hero’s party novel. But I’ve never read anything like this.

‘Why did I become possessed by a novel I don’t even know about?’

It is full of doubts. Heroes, saints, travels, adventures… No matter how much I think about it, I’ve never read a novel like this.

“… Ah.”

Something suddenly came to my mind.

I haven’t read it. I haven’t read it, but I liked the author’s previous works so much that I had some pre-orders as soon as the new ones came out.

The author’s previous works were novels that suited my taste and were so interesting that I followed Hanwha Hanhwa by clicking on recommendations and leaving comments. I also did quite a bit of support.

So, once the new work was uploaded, I clicked on the previous work and watched it. I definitely remember that the title was ‘A hero traveling with a certain saint’. I can’t remember the first word exactly.

So you’re saying that I possessed a novel that I hadn’t even read because it didn’t come up for a few episodes? I was dumbfounded by that fact.

“Abel, there are religious people outside. Let’s get out quickly Pack your things and come out!”

The monkey man told me to come out quickly and went out first.

…But what’s his name?

I saw several people in white coats through the window. A silver cross was drawn on her pure white clothes, so anyone could tell that she belonged to the church.

And between them was a woman in a pure white nun’s uniform. She saw eyes shining brightly in the sunlight and a face as innocent as pure white snow.

‘… Is it a saint?’

I could notice it at once, even if I was not a person of this world. It is an image as if the word ‘saint’ was written in large letters on her face.

I think we should pack our things and go out, as the monkey man said. I took up the luggage the owner of this body had packed, and took up the holy sword.

“… It is lighter than I thought.”

It was not a burden at all. Judging from the light weight of such a huge sword, it seems to be a real holy sword.

It was a weight that could not be explained otherwise. It doesn’t make sense that a greatsword that reaches my chest is so light.

When I came out with the holy sword and my belongings, there were many villagers gathered. The monkey man in the middle shouted.

“Abel, come quickly!”

“… Ok, sorry.”

As I approached him, unable to resist the urging of the still unknown man, a man who seemed to belong to the church said,

“Greetings, warrior Abel. This is Estelle, the benevolent saint of the Solaria Church.”

He was a person who really suited the word benevolent. She looked at me with a gentle smile. You’ll have to bow her head first, right?

“… Hello.”

“Hello, warrior. My name is Estelle, Goddess Solaria’s faithful handmaid.”

“…… This is Abel.”

Only the name was introduced. Living alone in a village like this doesn’t seem like a castle.

But she seems to be from a commoner, as the saint only told her name.

“Then, Holy Lady, I hope you have a safe journey.”

“Yes, thanks everyone.”

The people of the church who had brought her saint all bowed their heads in unison. It seems that he is properly worshiped in the church.

After the people of the church left, the saintess, who was left alone, looked at me quietly.

“I’d like to talk to the hero, but can everyone step aside?”

“Ah, yes yes. It should be.”

The villagers started leaving one by one at the word of her saintess. Then, the monkey man touched me and said,

“Cheer up, Abel! I’ll cheer you on! Be sure to drop by the village at least once!”

“… Uh, yes thanks.”

Her monkey friend, who still doesn’t know her name, left, leaving her alone with her saintess, and I looked at her. As her bright amber eyes met mine, the corners of her eyes curled and drew an arc.

I felt as if they were staring at me carefully. Looking at me from head to toe, she finally opened her mouth.

And the one word that slipped from her lips made my eyes wide open.

“…… I don’t know what my situation will be if I’m with such a poor warrior.”

“Yes?”

The attitude suddenly changed. It wasn’t a cold voice, but it was a voice that seemed to put me down, but it was pleasant.

“Hero, have you ever fought?”

“No.”

“Then have you ever handled a sword?”

“… Isn’t it?”

Some college student must have done battle and handled a sword. When she answered honestly, the saintess smiled lightly.

“Ahahahaha, is that so? Then you’re a poor warrior, right? A warrior who doesn’t even know how to fight, fuhu.”

“… ….”

“What can I do, I don’t know if I have to fight hard in place of the poor warrior~.”

Why is this b*tch like this?

I was taken aback by the sudden change in her attitude, but when I saw her expression, I was taken aback.

“Heocheop Warrior, I will fight hard, so take a leisurely look at the back~♡”

The corners of his eyes were drawn in an arc, and he had a characteristic cheeky smile on his face. I know that expression I got used to while reading web novels.

And I remembered. The title of the novel I had only written before.

‘f*ck.’

The first part that I did not remember in the title ‘○○○○ Holy Lady and the Traveling Hero’,

The word that filled the void was ‘mesgaki’.
