Chapter 30 – You don’t have to be so scared, cheesy warrior♡
Chapter 30
It’s been a week since I’ve been living as a eater at the temple. It is said that the proof of the saintess has finally arrived from the Vatican. The saintess summoned me and Chloe and led them to the cardinal’s office.
“Are we leaving now?”
“Yes, it should. How long can we not stay in the temple?”
…I want more.
I want to live longer as a foodie. I won’t be a warrior
While I was thinking about that, the saintess smiled at me and said.
From noble mtl dot com.
“I have to go, hero♡”
“…Yes.”
…I’m scared.
The saintess was wearing a black priestly robe today as well. According to her, she couldn’t help it because she didn’t have any white priestly clothes that fit her body. But she’s a saint with black hair, so I think she suits her better this way.
“Welcome, saintess. The hero and the companions too.”
“Hello.”
“Oh, hello.”
Chloe seemed quite nervous about meeting Cardinal. I guess it’s because he’s a high-ranking person…
“What about the token?”
“Here you are, saint.”
Cardinal Antonio grinned at her saintess and then took out something sparkling from her bosom. It was a bracelet crafted from jewels as transparent as glass.
“…A diamond!?”
“No, warrior.”
“Ah.”
…I was mistaken because it was transparent and shiny. Then what is that
“This is the mark of a saint made of a mineral called Sunjangseok. She shows that she is a saint of the Solaria Church.”
“Ah.”
…What is the first seat?
At that time, Chloe was surprised.
“The first seat? It’s not as good as a diamond, but this is a rare gem, hero.”
“Uh, is that so?”
“It is a special ore that can hold sunlight, so it is also used to make chemical weapons.”
“Do you soak up the sunlight? How amazing.”
Then there must be a moonstone that holds moonlight! hahahaha!
…Isn’t it real?
The saintess expressed her gratitude by receiving her token from Cardinal Antonio. The cardinal asked the saintess and us.
“Are you on your way?”
“Yes, I will.”
“I see.”
The cardinal made the sign of the cross towards us and prayed.
“May the bright sunlight shine on your journey.”
The saintess answered with prayer, and Chloe and I bowed our heads respectfully. The saintess and Chloe left the office first, and I was about to leave after them, but the cardinal stopped me.
“Hero.”
“Yes?”
“Saintess, please be careful not to use your strength as much as possible.”
“…Yes? What are you talking about?”
Are you saying you shouldn’t use s*x magic?
“If it was Seongbeopgi, he would use it on his own without me asking for it…”
“No, not that kind of power, but the power that purified Miss Chloe.”
“…Ah.”
Your hair turned red and that’s it?
“Shouldn’t I use it often?”
“Yes, I am.”
“…Does anything go wrong?”
Couldn’t it be…Something like shortening lifespan or something like that? Then it’s too clichéd. If it’s really like that, it’s a cliché, but it’s a pity.
But the words that came out of Cardinal Antonio’s mouth were unexpectedly different.
“The saintess will become weaker and weaker.”
“Yes?”
Is the saintess weak?
“You will permanently lose her divine power that He has placed in her body. If a person born with divine power loses divine power, it also means that there will be problems with the health of the body. So please be careful.”
…Was there such a problem?
For the saintess to become weak, that is absolutely unacceptable. If the saintess is weak, someone will catch the monster!
“I will be careful.”
“You’d better wake up the holy sword as soon as possible.”
“A holy sword?”
“If the holy sword is completely unlocked, it will be possible to restore a person who has turned into a metamorphosis stone like the saintess.”
The holy sword has such a function?
“Are other holy swords like that?”
“…This is only possible because Hero Abel’s holy sword is the holy sword of order. It’s fortunate that the person next to the saintess is a warrior.”
The Holy Sword of Order said it was difficult to awaken the ego, but it seems to have some special power.
Then I’ll have to wake you up soon. I’m also curious about the ego sword.
I thanked the cardinal for his advice and greeted him politely.
“Thanks for the advice, yea.”
“Nothing to say. Rather, I should give thanks.”
“Your Excellency asked me why…”
“It seems that the saintess was very happy thanks to the hero. He laughed a lot.”
“…Well.”
Heh heh, you seem to have had a lot of fun teasing me… You b*tch.
Perhaps it was because the conversation was a bit long, I heard Chloe looking for me.
“Hero~! What are you doing~?”
“Then let’s go.”
“I look forward to seeing you next time.”
#
We took the wagon provided by the temple and headed to the border area. After all, what should people ride? It’s so pleasant and nice to get out of your care for a while.
Bean!
“Ouch.”
“Oh my ♡ warrior, then you will really be dumber than a gorilla~♡”
…Except for the occasional bump on the head like this, everything is fine. Fortunately, however, this body I possessed did not cause motion sickness, which was good. If you hit your head and get motion sickness, it must have been really hard.
“Holy Lady, is there anything I should be aware of when arriving at the border area?”
“To think that the hero is asking such a nutritious question, the sun will rise in the west~♡”
“…So there is?”
“Um~♡ Act as if Chloe isn’t a foreigner. There is nothing else.”
“It’s a border area. Is there any danger of monsters appearing?”
There must be more monsters outside the country than inside. As I was thinking about that, the saintess shook her head.
“Not really. A large number of monsters live in the neutral zone between the borders, and sometimes there are monsters that try to cross the border. However, since I subdue monsters periodically, I tend to assume that there are generally no monsters that are more dangerous than the upper level. The border guards can subdue a medium-level monster.”
“I see.”
It comes out smoothly. Also, the Encyclopedia of Demons.
“As long as it’s not a high-level monster coming out, it won’t be that dangerous. So you don’t have to be afraid, the shy warrior♡”
…What’s wrong with preparing in advance, b*tch?
The carriage took us from post to post to the border guard station facing the Minerva kingdom.
“Wow, there are a lot of people.”
Island It wasn’t much better than Thrace, but there were still quite a few people standing in line at the guard post to cross the border.
I was admiring the large crowd, but a saintess suddenly jumped out from the side and smiled at me.
“Why are you laughing?”
“You’re so cute~& It’s like a kid who is amazed at people♡”
“…Don’t make fun of me.”
You’re the kid!
…No, there’s a little boy next to me.
“?…Hero, why are you looking at me like that?”
“…I just saw it.”
“There was something malicious in his eyes…”
…Why do you feel so good? Is this a woman’s intuition?
“Did so many people cross the border in the first place?”
“It’s because this is the gateway to the kingdom of Minerva. From the Mars Empire to the Kingdom of Minerva and the Kingdom of Vesta, these three countries originally had a lot of exchanges. Idiot♡ You don’t even know that, did you fall asleep while attending school~♡”
“…I didn’t go.”
“…Eh.”
Actually, I don’t know. How do I know if this body went to school or not?
But if I said that I went to school, I would become someone who didn’t know anything even though I went to school, so I just said I didn’t go to school.
And would a country boy go to school? He probably didn’t even get a proper elementary education. It’s just that you can’t read.
The saintess said with an apologetic look.
“…That…Sorry.”
“I just need to know.”
The saintess hesitated beside her as if she felt a bit sorry, then spoke to me cautiously.
“…Hero, I am teaching you how to write. I will teach you when you cross the border.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes.”
“Really?”
“Yes. It’s real.”
“Really, really, really?”
“Yes, really, really really.”
“…What are you two doing?
At Chloe’s astonishing tone, the saintess and I suddenly came to our senses. Chloe stared at us for a moment and then suddenly she clung to me.
“…Chloe?”
“I can teach you how to write!”
“Wait a minute, that’s my role! Who dares to call himself a teacher!”
“It’s my heart!”
Chloe and the saintess started bickering again.
…Just fight, you crazy b*tches.
“…Even if you don’t have to teach me how to read, I had something else to ask Chloe.”
“Yes?…To me? What do you want to ask?”
“Manayo.”
Runes. So Chinese. I know a lot of Chinese characters, but I don’t know how to handle mana. I’ve never done anything like that.
If I had mana, wouldn’t I be able to use magic by drawing Chinese characters?
So I tried to ask Chloe if she could feel the mana. If I could feel the mana, I tried to learn how to use it and some runes from Chloe.
“Can you feel the mana?”
“Yes? Of course, the warrior has mana. Because he is a warrior.”
…?
Was the hero naturally usable?
Come to think of it, in the past, when Elfriede was fighting monsters, she just flew around in the sky. Wasn’t that the power of the holy sword, but the power of mana?
“Uh…Then how do you use runes?”
“You can use mana to draw runes in the air. By gathering mana in her fingers like this…”
…So how do you do that? If you say something like ‘Can you do it?’, They will pull your cheek.
“You two, get there for now and come here. It is not too late to learn after crossing the border.”
“Uh, yes.”
“…Sorry. I’ll teach you later, hero!”
“…Yes.”
Still, I hope you don’t talk sh*t when you teach.
… If you learn to read from a saint, you might hear that she is always lacking in skill.
I joined the back of the long procession following the saintess. All these people are trying to cross the border. Many.
“… Huh?”
What is that door? In addition to the iron gate through which people are still leaving, there was a gilded door next to it. However, the door was firmly closed and no one was using it. There isn’t even a line over there.
“Holy Lady, Holy Lady.”
“You can hear it even if you call it once, warrior♡ Or did you intentionally want to call it twice~♡ If you like me that much, it can’t be helped♡”
…What are you talking about, you bastard?
“…Why is no one using that door?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Ah~♡ That door? That…”
“It’s called the Golden Gate!”
I asked the saintess, but Chloe, who was next to her, intercepted her answer and said. The saintess narrowed her eyebrows and looked at her Chloe, and she didn’t know the saintess’ gaze.
…I feel like there are only strange women next to me.
“What is the Golden Gate?”
“It is a gateway that can only be used by high-ranking people such as royalty and nobles.”
…A filthy aristocratic society.
“By the way, the hero and the saintess should be able to use that door.”
“Yes? I am not an aristocrat. The same goes for the saintess.”
“Even if you are not a noble, the saints of the Church and the warriors of the day can use the Golden Gate. Warriors and saints are treated as honored guests wherever they go.”
“Then why…”
When I looked at the saintess, she answered simply.
“It’s to prevent noise from the hero. And she has a reason to cross the border with Chloe.”
“Noise?”
“The current generation of warriors were all nobles before you. So there was no problem using the Golden Gate, but the hero is a little different. Even though they are heroes, there may be nobles who will not be happy to accept that a commoner has used the Golden Gate. If you get into a fight with an aristocrat for no reason, it’ll be annoying, so it’s prevented in advance.”
“I see.”
After all, he was worried about me. And I have to take Chloe with me.
“…You have to wait a long time because of me. Sorry.”
“…It’s not like that. Even if Chloe wasn’t there anyway, I had no intention of using the Golden Gate with the hero. So there is no need to be sorry.”
Hearing the saintess’ words, Chloe looked a bit surprised. Even though her words are like f*cks, it’s so kind that it’s amazing, isn’t it? So do i.
Since there were so many people trying to cross the border, it took a long time for the line to decrease. After waiting for about two hours, I finally saw the high ground in front of me.
“After about three times, it will be our turn.”
“Oh, finally.”
“I want to go quickly. I’m tired of waiting.”
Chloe squatted on the floor and whined. That’s why I’m like a real kid.
“Just be patient, Chloe.”
“Can’t the hero carry me on his back?”
“No.”
“It’s lethal.”
I’m having a hard time too, you bastard.
“…Hey, that’s…”
“Damn it, report it to the superiors quickly.”
The soldiers guarding the border started to make noise. What are you looking at?
“Close the door! Block the entrance!
They looked serious and started closing the gate. Wait, if you close that, how do we get out.
It was then. A front paw resembling that of a lion protruded from a crack in the door that had not yet been closed, and those who witnessed it were horrified.
“Ughhhhh! It’s a monster!”
“What?”
“Monsters!?”
“Do, run away, come on!!!”
…A monster?
Kwajik, I heard the sound of the gate breaking. And, as expected, the gateway did not last long and was broken through.
“…Huh.”
The monster that appeared was huge. In addition to its enormous size, it was a bizarre-looking monster with the head and legs of a lion, the body of a goat, the head of a goat attached to the body, and the tail of a snake with a head.
I had no choice but to know the name as I had seen Greek and Roman mythology cartoons, a must-read for children in the past.
“…Chimera.”
