Chapter 26 – The hero doesn’t like a kid like you!
Chapter 26
The plan to entrust Chloe to the church and send her to the military academy was completely revised.
According to Chloe, it could have happened again when she returned to her military academy. Since she had done such a thing in the first place, she probably wouldn’t have assumed that Chloe could come back.
A group of nobles who had been harassing Chloe would surely come to the rescue to silence the incident. That’s why we had to follow along and uncover the truth behind the incident that turned Chloe into a monster. Before she disappeared without a sound rumor of her being silenced by her.
After hearing the story of the saintess and me, Chloe asked.
“…How are you going to find the evidence?”
“We need to trace the distribution route of the Byun Magic Stone. If you trace the distribution route, it will surely be revealed that Chloe purchased the Metamorph Stone that was given to you. If we check to see if this metamorphic stone we have is correct, it will serve as proof.”
At the saintess’ words, Chloe nodded her head. If he is holding the actual transformation stone and even finding the transaction record, there will be no more convincing evidence than that.
And above all, the person who did that to Chloe is presumed to be this body’s childhood friend. I can’t not go…
“I don’t want to trouble the former hero with something like this…”
“It’s a nuisance, you say it sadly. I just want to help.”
“…He was full a while ago, and he was suddenly kind. I don’t know which tune to tune it to.”
…Chloe, don’t make things difficult for you too.
“You refused to accept me as a colleague.”
“…So you’re saying it’s not cold yet?”
“Yes?”
…Is that how it works?
“Okay, please help!”
“…Uh, yes.”
Chloe looked at me with a big smile. He seemed to be happy, as if he had found hope.
What about this, I’m not interested in Lori…
“…Can I help you, hero?”
Why are you doing this again?
“What are you talking about, saintess?”
“…Just kidding.”
…I’m guessing you weren’t kidding?
I don’t know why, but the saintess narrowed her eyebrows and glared at Chloe. Seeing the saintess’ eyes, Chloe suddenly clung to me and said,
“Hero, the saintess is glaring at you!”
“…Heh heh.”
Please leave me alone.
“Saintess, then, is it okay to just go to the church and get the priestly clothes?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“No~♡ I have to cross the border with Chloe, so I need something to prove her identity.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“There is a certificate that indicates that I am a saint of the church, and I have to get it from the Holy See.”
“Should I go to the Vatican?”
The saintess looked at me and said with her characteristic cheeky smile.
“You fool♡ What time are we going to the Vatican~? Of course, you have to ask the branch to get the goods. The hero is an idiot who can’t even think of such things♡”
“…So how long does it take?”
“Well~? It will depend a little on what’s going on, but you should get it in at least a week.”
“I need to get to the church branch as soon as possible.”
“That’s right~♡ So, starting tomorrow, we will move by carriage~. What should I do if the hero hits her in the head again~ ♡”
…I don’t like that.
Since this village is a bit large, there are wagons and stagecoaches that go out to the outskirts.
Since Lancaster is a large city, of course there must be a post office, and I was able to get on a stagecoach and head to Lancaster at once.
“Wouldn’t that be expensive?”
“It will be a bit expensive because it is far away~♡ But I can’t help it. Now that things have come to this, we must get to Lancaster City as soon as possible.”
“I do.”
I saw Chloe still attached to my side.
“…Could you please leave?”
“Why?”
“Why?”
“I like being next to the warrior.”
I hate it because I feel like a criminal.
I don’t know if she understood my feelings, or if she had other intentions, but the saintess pulled Chloe and pulled her away.
“Hey, Holy Lady, what are you doing!”
“What are you doing, you b*tch?”
“A b*tch? Are you done talking now?”
…Even with Chloe, why do you want to fight?
“That, let’s grab it quickly. We have to leave early tomorrow morning.”
“Ah, I want to sleep next to the hero!”
Chloe’s eyes were shining brightly even as she spat out embarrassing sounds.
Looking at that alone, he looked like a child who wanted to sleep with his father, but knowing that the reality was different, I couldn’t accept it that way.
I turned to her saintess and said.
“…I’ll just get a separate room.”
“…Yes.”

As soon as Abel left with the sound of the door closing, Estelle said to Chloe.
“…What are you thinking?”
Chloe was taken aback by the low voice of the saintess she heard for the first time. But thinking that she shouldn’t be weighed down by the force, Chloe confidently responded to Estelle’s words.
“What are you thinking?”
“Why are you suddenly attacking our hero?”
“Our warrior~? Saintess, you are misunderstanding something, but the hero is not the saintess. Why are we? And is there any reason why I shouldn’t like the hero?”
Estel and Chloe glared at each other. The battle of nerves between the two was fierce enough to make the illusion of sparks flying where the two people’s eyes met.
Estelle was the first to shout out loud.
“Because the hero is someone I look after and take care of!? That’s why he’s our hero!”
“Take care~? From what I’ve seen, they don’t care, they only say harsh things!”
It was a hit. Estelle was always throwing harsh words at Abel, half wanting to make fun of her and half ashamed to be honest.
However, Estelle was not one to back down even if she was hit. Rather, she raised her voice and spoke to Chloe.
“It doesn’t matter what I say to the hero or not, Chloe has nothing to do with it!”
“Didn’t you think that the hero was in pain!?”
“Because the hero knows that my sincerity is different, right?”
“You say that, but how do you know that the hero is not a mind reader? You are talking nonsense, saintess.”
I had nothing to refute. Estelle couldn’t possibly refute Chloe’s words.
Is Abel aware of Estelle’s true intentions? She’s just guessing, seeing that Abel doesn’t really hate Estelle.
Estel, thinking that she would be at a disadvantage at this rate, hurriedly changed the subject.
“…The hero doesn’t like a kid like you!”
“…Kid, kid! I am a full-fledged adult too!”
Chloe’s age is sixteen. At the age of 16, it was an age that exceeded the standard of an adult no matter where he went. She was small, but she was definitely an adult woman.
Hearing Chloe’s words, her saintess rather smiled.
“What would you do if you were only an adult? Her breasts are small, and her hips are small too. You can’t find a woman’s charm, can you?”
“Do you think the hero would like a lump of fat like that? The hero is the one who judges women with things like that…”
“Yes.”
Chloe expressed her doubts about Estelle’s too determined words.
“…How can you be sure of that?”
“I don’t know anything else, but it’s certain that the hero likes breasts. It’s the same when you look at me, and when you met the saintess of the Church of Lunaria in the past, you only looked at her breasts~♡”
“…Really?”
“That’s right~♡ So the hero probably doesn’t even care about you, Chloe~?”
“Oh…How can you be sure of that!”
“Then did you try it?”
Estel spoke confidently, and Chloe trembled at her words.
“Woah, women’s charms don’t just lie there!”
“…That’s right. However, it is an obvious fact that a body is one of the factors that can appeal to a woman’s charm. Is not it? Ah~♡ Chloe doesn’t have anything like that, don’t you know~?”
“…What?!”
“If you think I’m wrong, would you refute it?”
She was angry, but she also knew Chloe. She was well aware of how much men were attracted to women’s bodies. She couldn’t retort, she let her anger out, and she trembled.
‘I won.’
That look gave Estelle the smile of her victor.

The next morning, as scheduled, we stopped at the post station to get a stagecoach to the city of Lancaster. Now we’ll take the carriage for two days and go to Lancaster. It feels like traveling by carriage.
“Hero~!”
“…Chloe, what are you doing?”
“Yes? I want to sit next to the hero!”
“…Go away.”
I don’t want to be a criminal. At my firm answer, Chloe hardened her face slightly, and for some reason, the saintess giggled.
…What’s interesting?
“Hero, you are misunderstanding something.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“I’m sixteen! What a grown-up!”
…?
“You know?”
“…Yes?”
“I know Chloe is an adult.”
“But why…”
Apart from being an adult, it smells like crime. I hate to hear lolicons.
“I like a height of 160 or higher.”
“…Yes?”
“…Yes?”
…Why are there two answers? Aside from Chloe who had been heard from the side, the saintess sitting in front of her was also asking questions.
“…Why is the saintess suddenly like this?”
“…Is the height of the opposite s*x important to you, warrior?”
“Yes?…Um.”
If you ask me if it’s important, wouldn’t it be important? Maybe it’s a bit like Chloe, who’s too small. It feels too much like a crime.
If it’s just a saint, I think she’s an attractive enough opposite s*x, considering other factors, even if she’s not 160.
…Don’t get me wrong, I’m just talking about appearances, ignoring personality.
So if you ask me if it’s important or not, of course…
“Is it important?”
“…That’s…Isn’t it?”
Her shoulders, which were always proudly straight, drooped. She couldn’t hide her disappointment even with her claw beside her.
…Did I talk too much?
Although not as much as her Chloe, she hadn’t thought that even a saint might have concerns about her height since she’s on the short side. So I quickly changed my words.
“…But I think there are more important things to her than height.”
“…!”
“…Which one!?”
The saintess raised her head, and her Chloe even openly asked about it.
What? That’s different, but the most important thing is…
“It’s kind-hearted. If you have a pretty face, that’s even better.”
As expected, work and mindset are the most important things. I think this applies to men as well as women.
Then Chloe clung to me.
“…Hero, isn’t that kind-hearted?”
“I don’t think Chloe is bad.”
“Then isn’t it pretty?”
Is it pretty? Just look at her face, she’s pretty I think her purple hair and sparkling amethyst eyes are quite attractive.
“It is pretty.”
“But why can’t I?”
“…That, Chloe and I haven’t met for a while…”
…Why don’t you give up like this?
To be honest, Chloe was not my style. Looking at her objectively, she’s pretty, her figure is the same, and she’s a bit tall… I’d rather be a saint or Elfriede.
That doesn’t mean I like saints. I emphasize once again, but I’m just talking about her looks.
Still, it’s a bit too much to talk about openly… Let’s talk around as much as possible. With that thought in mind, she tried to open her mouth, but the saintess sitting in front of her spoke firmly.
“Take it in moderation, Chloe. The hero is in trouble.”
For some reason you help me. I was worried that I was in agreement with Chloe and that she would harass me.
“…What is it, saintess? Are you holding back now?”
“Why should I keep you in check?”
“That’s right, the saintess is the hero…”
“Aww!”
…Hey?
“Saintess, what if you use the s*xual technique on Chloe?”
A small chain of light was blocking Chloe’s mouth. You use her s*xual powers without any casting action.
“…You were trying to say something useless.”
“…?”
Sounds useless?
At her words, I thought about the actions the saintess had taken so far. The way she cared about my remarks and the way she pounced on Chloe.
…I think I know what Chloe was trying to say.
“Saintess.”
“Yes~?”
“……Maybe.”
“Why do you keep teasing me~? Don’t hold back like an idiot and get to the point right away~♡”
“…Don’t you like me?”
From Chloe’s explosive remarks yesterday to the strange behaviors and embarrassed expressions of the saintess. It was enough to raise such doubts.
Upon hearing my words, the saintess widened her eyes.
…Uh…?
The saintess was taken aback. Has she been with her for quite some time? She had been hanging out all the time lately, if not for long. The change in her expression was immediately noticeable.
‘…No way?’
From noble mtl dot com.
I really couldn’t believe it. And just as that thought turned to almost certainty, she said, showing the cheeky smile that the saintess followed on set with her eye smile.
“I wondered what you were talking about all of a sudden~♡ There’s no way I would like a scumbag like the hero~♡ You’re overly self-conscious, that’s it♡”
…I wake up.
Yeah, there’s no way a b*tch talking sh*t like that would like me. Who would say that to someone they like?
I smiled awkwardly and said sorry.
“…Um, is that so? Sorry, I must have misunderstood.”
“You haven’t even thought of your grandson’s name in your head, have you? Gya♡ I feel bad~♡ I don’t like marrying a goblin hero~♡”
“…I never thought about it that far.”
“Lies~♡”
…f*ck you, I hate you too!

Estelle’s sharp rant made Abel turn her gaze to her window, as if her mood had gone bad.
But Abel didn’t know. With harsh words, she said that Estelle’s cheeks, who had been blaming her, were stained red.
