Chapter 46 – Because I raised him♡
Chapter 46
Abel quickly ran away holding the holy sword. Seeing that, Estelle smiled and said Cook.
“You’re cute…&”
“But can you really catch the Horn Tiger already?”
Horn Tiger. It was a monster that always walked alone. Nevertheless, the fact that the danger was no different from that of a group of mid-level monsters meant that the Horn Tiger’s power was strong.
Of course, among the existing heroes, there is no hero who cannot catch a Horn Tiger without a blessing. However, it was necessary to consider that the two warriors, excluding Abel, had 7 years and 5 years of experience, respectively.
On the other hand, what about Abel? It’s been a little over three months since she was selected as a warrior, and it’s been a little less than three months since she started her journey in earnest.
So it was natural for Celine to express her doubts. No matter how much the warriors grow faster than ordinary people, are they already catching monsters this big?
However, Estelle, the saintess who accompanied Abel, directly refuted Celine’s question.
“I can do it, so don’t worry and watch it~♡”
Celine nodded her head once seeing Estelle giving an answer that was close to her definite answer.
Horn Tiger, who found Abel, roared and charged. It was astonishingly fast, befitting a monster resembling a beast, a tiger. Abel didn’t do anything stupid to confront the Horn Tiger’s charge head-on.
Suddenly!
He twisted to his side and slashed the side of his forepaw with his holy sword. Originally, the Horn Tiger was a monster with thick fur and leather that made it difficult for normal cold weapons, but they were all useless in front of the holy sword.
As a result, Abel evaded Horn Tiger’s quick and ignorant charge and disabled one of Horn Tiger’s strongest weapons, his front paws.
“…Your judgment is good.”
Celine said so. She was someone who had just picked up the sword, and her judgment was incredible.
Horn Tiger was more excited to see the wound on his front paw.
“Rurrling!!!”
Just hearing that roar could tell how angry he was. Horn Tiger lunged again and swung his forepaw, but Abel turned around and avoided the attack. She then deflected her holy sword and inflicted a great wound on the other forepaw.
Elimination of the opponent’s strengths. Good judgement too.
With huge scars on both front paws, the Horn Tiger took a stance to ram with its huge horns. And Horn Tiger, who lowered his head like a bullfighting bull, rushed forward as it was.
Abel stared straight ahead at Horn Tiger’s charge, which became much faster than before.
“Wait, you’re trying to hit me from the front!?”
“…Hmm.”
Your judgment was good until a moment ago, but why all of a sudden? Seeing Abel’s appearance, Celine was restless.
Estel also had some doubts about Abel’s actions. She wouldn’t have to. Estelle narrowed her eyes and she watched it.
Abel held her holy sword low. Accordingly, he lowered his waist and knees and waited until Horn Tiger approached to some extent.
Hon Tiger has approached the desired distance. Seeing this, Abel ran forward.
Celine was shocked by her actions and Estelle was puzzled. And both of them were surprised by Abel’s continued actions.
Choo!
“Die, you kitty!”
Abel deliberately slipped on the floor, and while sliding, he burrowed under Horn Tiger’s belly. And he thrust the Holy Sword upward with all his might.
With a deep breath, the holy sword stabbed Horn Tiger in the chest and tore off its stomach. Horn Tiger, with his belly split, couldn’t stand it and fell to his side with his head driven into a tree.
With a thump, the giant collapsed and dust rose.
“Keheuk! Coke!”
Abel was coughing up the dust and shaking his hand. He was covered in blood all over his body, but there was no blood of Abel himself.
‘…A bit reckless, but you did well&’
Estelle smiled contentedly, and she went to see Abel to see if she was hurt.
Celine asked Estelle with a slightly shocked expression.
“…How on earth… Did Hero Abel become so strong so quickly?”
At Celine’s question, Estelle smiled and answered.
“Because I raised it♡”

The horn tiger was subdued, and its horn and skin were dismantled and sold to the adventurer’s guild. Then she gave me 40,000 gold.
…Why do you only give this?
“Holy Lady, how much gold did you get when you killed the forest wolf?”
“30,000 Gold.”
“…The price is similar to that of Horn Tiger?”
Forest wolves are low-class monsters. Horn Tiger is a fairly strong monster among mid-level monsters. The price compared to the difficulty…
“At that time, there were several forest wolves, and forest wolf manes are in high demand because they have many uses. It is especially used in magic research or alchemy. That’s why it’s so valuable.”
“…Alchemy!?”
Alchemy here too!? It was the first time I had heard of it.
“Are you interested in alchemy?”
Of course not. How much fun I enjoyed watching Kang X’s Alchemist. Yeon Seong-jin here, too, and but?
However, he seemed like he would say something else if he made a fuss, so he answered with a nuance of interest.
“Ah…Yes, a little.”
“Alchemy is much more complex than magic. You probably wouldn’t understand even half of it with the hero’s head♡”
“…You don’t know that.”
I have the confidence to do a good equivalent exchange.
“Well, I’ll try to find out about alchemy later when I can afford it. First, let’s find an inn to stay today~♡”
“…Yeah.”
Alchemy. You must learn it later.
When we left the adventurer’s guild, Celine, who was waiting outside, greeted us with a bright smile. This person is pretty too.
“Are you done with your business?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Yes, I got 40,000 gold.”
“Wow, you received a lot. I guess it’s because the horns are in good shape.”
…That was a lot of money. Horn Tiger doesn’t seem to make money.
“Where are you going?”
“I’m looking for an inn.”
“Ah, if that’s the case, I think it’s an inn over there. Didn’t a lot of people who looked like travelers come in earlier?”
“Oh, really?”
There’s no need to waste time looking for an inn.
The place Celine was talking about was really an inn. You have good eyesight. The innkeeper was a middle-aged woman, and she looked at us and asked.
“How many rooms do you need?”
“An overview.”
When the saintess answered that, Celine screamed in amazement.
“Eh, Saint Estelle? You only have one room?”
“Yes.”
It was a saintess who looked at Celine with an expression as if there was something wrong with her.
“That, but the hero is a man, right? Sharing the same room is a bit…”
“Oh, it’s okay. There won’t be anything that Saint Celine would worry about. The hero is sympathetic~♡”
“What does that have to do with it!?”
…Wow. I was just impressed
Yes, that is a normal reaction. What does that have to do with virginity?
…I wasn’t crazy about Chloe either.
The saintess tilted her head and said.
“There’s no way a virgin hero would have the courage to attack us, right?”
“What kind of logic is that!?”
…That b*tch. I’m still patient, but I’m afraid I’ll attack you.
In the end, Celine rented two rooms for her, against extreme opposition. The innkeeper handed over two keys to her room, and the saintess who received them said,
“I will sleep with the hero.”
“…Yes?”
“Yes!?”
…Why are you sleeping with me?
“Holy Lady, that’s a bit much.”
“I was joking~♡ What did you expect, you pervert♡ sneaky warrior♡”
“…Heh heh.”
A real dog mad b*tch.
The innkeeper called me while I was watching the two saints go up to the room.
“Bachelor.”
“Yes?”
“Our inn is well soundproofed. Is it safe to visit at night? Why don’t you bring a condom?”
…The girls here are really crazy.

Celine follows Estelle into the room. She looked at Estelle with puzzled eyes.
“Saint Estelle.”
“Yes?”
“…Doesn’t the saintess like the hero?”
“…Four!?”
Estelle was taken aback by Celine’s question and looked at her with eyes asking what she was talking about. But she already noticed Celine. In the first place, if she didn’t notice even when she saw the two of them this close, she’d be an idiot for that.
Saint Estelle had honey dripping from her eyes whenever she saw Abel. It was a look she couldn’t get out of unless she liked it.
So there was a part I didn’t understand. It was the same downstairs a moment ago, so why do you say that to the person you like?
“You like it. Hero Abel.”
“…What nonsense are you saying that I like the hero~? There’s no way I’m sympathetic and like a perverted warrior.”
“…You can’t lie, saintess.”
“Oops…!”
Estelle asked Celine, slightly frowning her.
“So what are you saying! Could it be that Saint Celine was also a female cat targeting our hero!?”
“Yes?…No. I have no idea…”
I admit that Abel is handsome, but I wonder how long ago she would have liked it. The person itself seems nice, but she hasn’t had the time to harbor those feelings yet.
Which isn’t even a novel, is there a story like a fairy tale where you fall in love at first sight?
Estelle was rather embarrassed by Celine’s calm reaction. Because when Chloe asked me this question before, Chloe counterattacked me by clearing her mind.
“Then why do you ask me such a question…”
“Ah, I was curious. The saintess always said only mean things to the warrior. I like it, but I wonder if there is a reason for that.”
Estelle contemplated whether or not to answer this question. However, since my heart was already caught, I thought how much I would hide if I did.
Celine said that she had no heart anyway, and based on her reaction, she was almost certain, so unlike Chloe, she was relieved. Estelle felt like she was consulting her Celine, she said frankly.
“…Because the hero is cute.”
“Yes?”
“The hero’s reaction is so cute I can’t stop!”
“……Ah, was that a joke?”
“Yes? Of course you’re kidding.”
Celine tilted her head with a muffled sound. I wonder if she misunderstood the meaning of the word she teased.
“Usually… Making fun of someone she likes doesn’t mean she’s so mean, right? “
“…Yes?”
Estelle widened her eyes. She’s like someone she didn’t know. Celine was dumbfounded when she saw that expression.
“…Isn’t it?”
“Who taught you that you make fun of people like that?”
Estel hesitantly spoke to Celine.
“…The nun who raised me.”
“…Ah, Saint Estelle was raised in the church.”
Celine thought that she was evil enough to instill such false common sense in a child. Then she said that the reason the saintess spoke to Abel in that way was because of the nun’s influence.
“From what I’ve seen, it seems that even Hero Abel knows that she doesn’t mean the saintess. But if she keeps hearing nasty things about being a person, she’ll get annoyed even if she knows she doesn’t mean it.”
At Celine’s words, Estelle remembered that Abel had been angry with him several times before. Seeing Estelle nodding her head slightly, Celine smiled.
“Saint Estelle, if you really like the hero, why don’t you try to speak a little prettier tomorrow? The warrior will like it.”
“…Pretty?”
Estelle tried imagining her in her head. She praises Abel for being handsome and cool, and for her own version of herself.
Her cheeks turned red just from her imagination. How ashamed she was even when she said that when she caught the chimera, she was cool so she wouldn’t be heard by Abel.
“…Mo, I can’t.”
“Yes?”
“How can you say such a thing out of shame!?”
Celine thought about Estelle’s reaction.
‘Does a person who is ashamed of such a thing usually say the word ‘sympathy’…?’
Celine sighed heavily.
“Saint Estelle, how old are you this year?”
“…Seventeen.”
“You are still young. I thought you were like me.”
“Yes? So how old is Saint Celine…?”
“I’m not old enough to hear your age!?…Twenty-two.”
She is 5 years older than Estelle. Celine gave Estelle advice.
“Saintess, you had better be a little more honest with your heart.”
“…Should I? I think there is a lot of time even if you do it slowly…”
“Do you think the hero will always be by your side?”
“……A lifetime?”
“…?”
Celine looked at Estelle with eyes asking what she was talking about, and Estelle looked at Celine with eyes asking what was wrong.
“…A hero is someone who always goes to the battlefield to subdue the demon lord. But how can you stay by the saintess’ side for the rest of your life?”
“Yes? That’s if I can protect the hero.”
“…Yes?”
Celine did not understand Estelle’s words. It’s not that the hero protects her saint, what kind of saint protects the hero?
Of course, the s*xual technique that had seized Celine before was so hard that Celine couldn’t break it with her own s*xual technique, but it didn’t make sense to say that she would protect her warrior.
Even if the current hero of Abel is relatively weaker than the other heroes, he is also the one chosen by the holy sword. Someday, I’ll have the skills to crush a saint.
However, there was no point in protecting the hero.
‘He said he wouldn’t be a ‘real saint’ either…’
“A hero comes someday when he fights against high-risk monsters like Behemoth and Leviathan, or real monsters like Barbatos and Amon. He is also given a dangerous mission to break into the nest to kill Mother. How do you mean the saintess will protect you every time?”
“…Ah.”
Estelle reacted as if she understood. Seeing that, Celine nodded her head, but Estelle didn’t really understand her in that sense.
‘You don’t know this person?’
Estelle means that she is different from other saints. At the request of Estelle herself and the decision of her Pope, she had never announced that she was the real representative of the Goddess in the Solaria Church.
“It’s okay.”
“Yes?”
“Saint Celine doesn’t have to worry about that. But the advice… I’ll be grateful.”
Estelle gained some insight from her conversation with Celine. Her realization comes from her conversation with Celine. That’s right…
‘I’ll have to refine my words a little when I make fun of the hero.’
She was an Estelle who never thought to stop teasing.
How strong is she? Hmmm… Interesting. Nice char development too
