Chapter 42 – What are you talking about! There’s no way I like the hero or think he’s cute!
Chapter 42
“…Hero, what are you doing so crazy?”
“…Uh…Sorry…”
Abel was still unconscious. Perhaps it was a natural reaction. Because Chloe launched an unexpected surprise attack. No matter how different it is to her liking, when a woman of that size bumps into her like this, she is bound to be embarrassed as a man.
At that sight, Estelle bit her molars tightly.
‘This female cat…!’
When Chloe asked Abel to bow her head, Estelle, feeling uneasy about something, stretched out her hand. But her timing was a little bit late, and in the end she couldn’t stop Chloe from doing what she wanted.
‘I haven’t tried it yet…!’
I really didn’t expect to be cut in the line. She had gone on a date the other day without her knowledge, and kissed her on the cheek… So the so-called kiss on the cheek, an expression of affection, was taken away from the player.
‘Ugh…!’
That kind of thinking became a feeling of jealousy, and Estelle started to be mean to Abel.
“Did you like it that much? Hero-nim really doesn’t like women ♡ You lolicon ♡ Criminal ♡”
“…Me, when am I?”
Abel is startled by Estelle’s words. Seeing that, Estelle was even more upset. She was surprised because she really felt that way.
“This perverted hero ♡ looks like he really died~! It’s a devil♡”
“…Noisy.”
Abel narrowed her eyebrows slightly. Estelle was taken aback by that expression. She must have been really upset with Abel.
Normally, Estelle would have stopped here, but her jealousy paralyzed her reason. Unknowingly, she was blaming Abel.
“Kyaa, the perverted warrior talked to me ♡ I feel bad ♡”
From noble mtl dot com.
“…Why does the saintess say that every day? Make people feel bad.”
In the end, the word “Feeling bad” Came out of Abel’s mouth.
Considering Abel’s usual behavior, she said that he was really offended that he said this to Estelle.
So Estelle was very perplexed.
“I also have a limit to my patience.”
Abel’s voice was extremely serious. Estelle, who had come to her senses, regretted Abel’s reaction.
‘I am an idiot! I should have done it properly…!’
Abel narrowed her eyes and looked at her Estelle, and at her Abel’s gaze she hesitated and apologized.
“…Sorry.”
“Of course, I know that the saintess does not have her true intentions, but…”
As Abel said that, her eyes widened slightly as if she had suddenly remembered something.
“Ah, saintess.”
“…Yes.”
“I have a lot of questions.”
“Yes?”
I wonder what I’m curious about all of a sudden after getting angry. Estelle waited for Abel’s words with a puzzled expression.
“Saintess, you always told me that I was ugly until now. Why did you do that?”
“…Yes?”
Estel was startled. She said she was afraid that if Abel recognized her appearance, she would be attracted to women, but she couldn’t bear to say that.
“No, you always said that I look like a goblin. But where is this handsome goblin? So I was curious. Even if it’s okay to make fun of it, it’s strange because you say that every day.”
Abel’s straightforward question left Estelle in awe. In response to Estelle’s reaction, Abel pushed her further.
“Isn’t it because you teased me every day because you liked that I was interested in you!?”
Abel accurately penetrated Estelle’s true heart. Actually, she didn’t mean anything else to Abel, she just said it out of anger.
However, his remarks worked perfectly for Estelle. Estelle started to say something with her head spinning.
“Mu, mu, what are you talking about! This pervert! Whether I like Hero Heoheop or think he’s cute…! You can’t think like that!?”
Originally, there is a saying that when a person loses his reason, his true heart comes out. That’s why the word drunken talk came about. So Estelle’s words, paralyzed by reason, were full of her true intentions.
Abel was a little taken aback by Estelle’s violent reaction, she said.
“…I never said that.”
“Hot…!”
Estelle finally came to her senses. When she came to her senses, she realized what she had said, and her pale cheeks turned red.
“…I’ll write a wish ticket.”
“…Yes?…Yes!?”
Suddenly, he wrote a wish ticket. But contrary to her rational thoughts, Estelle’s heart began to pound. What the hell is she trying to do?
“When the saintess saw me, did I look good? Please be honest.”
“…Yes??”
“I even wrote a wish ticket, but you can’t lie. I swear to the goddess and be honest.”
What kind of right to wish was used to ask such a question? Estelle looked at Abel in a slightly bewildered mood, but he seemed unwilling to recant her remarks.
“…Honestly?”
“Yes.”
Estelle lowered her gaze slightly and answered.
“……Now, you are handsome.”
As Estelle readily acknowledged it, Abel gave a satisfied smile.
“The saintess acknowledged it with her own mouth, so please don’t call me a goblin from now on.”
“…Yes.”
On this day, Estelle lost to Abel for the first time.

Chloe’s affairs have been worked out, and now we want to go somewhere, so we ask the loser. She seemed a little upset about what happened a while ago.
“Saintess, why are you still pouting?”
“…I don’t know.”
The saintess glanced at me, then she turned her head away again.
…It’s cute when you’re like that. Maybe it’s better to just pout every day?
“Saintess, you have to tell me where to go.”
“…The next regular briefing session will be held in Vesta Kingdom.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Then the next destination is the Kingdom of Vesta. Traveling around different countries on foot like this is like backpacking.
The saintess suddenly patted my cheek twice and jumped up.
…Why are you like that?
“I don’t think I can afford to be like this. Until the regular report meeting, we have to make the hero human.”
“…I am already human.”
“Now you’re barely above the level of an ant~♡ You should become a little stronger.”
“How much time do we have left for the regular report meeting?”
“We have about two weeks left. It takes about a week to get from Athens to Poculum.”
Not long ago. I’m sure the regular briefing session is held once every two or three months, so it’s already been that long.
What did I do after the last regular briefing session?
Subdue monsters in Habsburg City, receive her request from the guild, rescue Chloe who turned into her monster, head to Lancaster City to bring her back, catch her ogre…
…If you think about it, quite a lot happened. Two months go by quickly.
“Then, shall we go right away?”
“Yeah, that’s right… Oh, that’s right. Hero, I have something to tell you.”
What is it?
“I heard from Cardinal John that orders have come down to all the denominations.”
“Yes? Did something big happen?”
If the orders were issued not only to the Church of Solaria, but to all the Churches, did something big happen?
“The saintess of the Church of Ludria has disappeared.”
…Huh?
“Wasn’t he going with the Levius hero?”
“Yes, that’s right. But I think he escaped.”
…What the hell is this? Here, the saintess escapes as well.
“Then what should I do?”
“So if we find him on our way, we have to lead him to the Church of Ludria. We also have schedules, so it’s hard to decide and find them.”
“Ah…Really? But is there any reason for the saintess to leave the hero?”
“…It’s just a guess, but maybe it’s the character of the Levius hero that’s the problem.”
Personality? Is there some major flaw in the Levius hero? There wasn’t anything unusual about the last time we talked except that he suddenly said to change the saint.
“… Huh?”
Come to think of it, she said she had a bad relationship with the saintess. Is that why?
“Holy Lady, I figured it out! The Levius hero and the saintess don’t seem to be on good terms! Could that be the reason?”
That’s why he escaped! I didn’t know, b*tch!
But after hearing my reasoning, the saintess started giggling and laughing.
“Pufu♡ I know that too.”
“…How did you know?”
“At that time, the warrior asked me a question. The hero of Levius saw him and asked to change her saintess. What should I do? The hero said so, and this time the saint finally escaped. The answer is obvious, right?”
…The smart b*tch.
“There is no such thing as an idiot who proudly says the obvious~♡ Idiot♡”
…I should have exchanged two years back then.
“…By the way, what was the character of the Levius hero?”
“Are you talking about Hero Levius…I haven’t had much conversation with him myself, but there are a lot of rumors.”
Rumors?
“Levius Hero’s family is from a family called Grospell, and it is one of the most prestigious families in the Minerva Kingdom. Maybe it’s because I’m from such a family, but there’s a bit of a carefree side.”
“Really?”
“There are also rumors that people who are not nobles are not treated as human beings. They see commoners as tools. So, it is said that there are many people who hate Levius hero outside his own country.”
…Was such a bad ass. Aren’t commoners also people? Dirty aristocracy.
“How did such a person become a hero? Doesn’t the Holy Sword see anything about being human?”
“No? I follow it a lot. It must be a holy sword for no reason~♡”
“Then how did the Levius hero become a hero?”
“It’s because the holy sword that selected Hero Levius is heterogeneous.”
Is it heterogeneous? What kind of magic sword could he be?
“What is the holy sword of the Levius Hero that is so unique?”
“It is a holy sword called the Holy Sword of Joy.”
“…Joy?”
If you say joy, it means that you are very happy and happy. It’s a little emphatic, but it’s not a bad word anyway.
“Why do you say that holy sword is heterogeneous?”
“The Holy Sword of Joy doesn’t have the same penalty as other Holy Swords, and the unique ability of the Holy Sword is unique.”
“A penalty?”
It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.
“I told the hero not to harm people. That’s because of the Holy Sword’s penalty. The more the hero harms people, the more the holy sword loses its strength and sharpness.”
Really?
“…Uh, but last time I knocked people out?”
“Pufu♡ You don’t have to peck it like that~♡ It’s okay as long as it doesn’t cause fatal wounds.”
…That’s good.
“Then the Holy Sword of Joy doesn’t have that penalty?”
“Yes, so the Levius hero is the only one who can kill people. Anything weird already? Because it means that a hero who protects people can kill people.”
“…I see.”
A hero who kills people, isn’t that a bit like a hero already?
“Then what is the ability of the Holy Sword of Joy? You said you were unusual earlier.”
“When the user feels pleasure, it makes the power stronger.”
“…Yes?”
…Pleasure?
