Chapter 55 – Fight to your heart’s content~♡
Chapter 55
“Wow…”
The gate shone brightly, and when I opened my eyes again, I was in a completely different place.
Is this the gate? Teleportation is f*cking amazing.
“Hero~♡ You like me like a child♡”
“…When I said I liked it.”
“Your eyes are still twinkling~♡”
…I teleported, but it might surprise me.
But the surroundings were very cluttered. Soldiers running around busily and officers giving orders to them. Even the soldiers controlling the civilians to go back.
“…Something really dangerous must have appeared.”
“Sure.”
I looked to the side and saw Elfriede looking around. Like someone looking for someone.
“Elfriede, who are you looking for?”
“Ah, I was looking for the commander here. He must have been informed that we were coming…”
“Welcome, warriors!”
As soon as Elfride spoke her words, a man approached at the right time. Judging by the captain’s flag on the horse, it seems that this man is the captain.
“Are you the captain of the garrison?”
“Yes! My name is Reynolds Constantine!”
“Sir Reynolds, how is the war?”
Responding to Elfriede’s question, the captain of the defense clearly explained the situation.
“Currently, Mother and Amon-class monsters have appeared in the neutral zone of the Apollo and Vesta kingdoms. The problem is that those monsters are gradually moving toward our kingdom. Originally, the monsters that appeared in the neutral zone should be subdued through cooperation between the two countries, but since the monsters are currently moving to the Kingdom of Vesta, and the fact that the warriors are all staying in our kingdom, we decided to subdue them alone.”
“Isn’t the Apollo Kingdom not in a situation to send reinforcements?”
“Yes, it is said that waves of monsters are occurring simultaneously. Perhaps the appearance of Amon-class monsters had an effect.”
“I need to subdue them soon.”
Elfriede immediately pulled out his holy sword. But Levius stopped her and said a word to her.
“It is an Amon class monster. Rather than fighting ignorantly, isn’t it necessary to plan a strategy a little more carefully.”
“…Isn’t it enough for me, Levius, and you to deal with that monster, and Abel to defend against the monster wave? Abel still lacks her skills, so she can’t have her fight Amon-class monsters.”
“I know. Who said leaning on commoners? That’s not what I mean.”
…It’s commoners, commoners. Do you want to fight?
“…Then what do you want to say?”
“Is there a need for a hero to catch monsters? There is another strong person here.”
Levius said that while looking at someone. In the place where that gaze was directed, there was a saintess, or Estelle.
Huh?…How does he know that?
I was staring at Levius in surprise, but the saintess’ answer from beside her was spectacle.
“I don’t know how to fight?”
…?
I looked at the saintess in amazement. She tilted her head as if the saintess really didn’t know how to fight.
…Even if you hit a ball, you have to hit it moderately for it to be believed, b*tch.
“…What nonsense are you talking about?”
Levius was also speaking in a slightly bewildered voice.
“I know how to fight. I’m just a saint Even if it’s an ordinary monster… I can’t catch monsters like Amon-class monsters.”
The saintess kept acting as if she didn’t know how to fight.
Since I’m trying to hide it like that, I have a slightly different idea. Any reason?
…Come to think of it, how much power does a saintess have to use to catch an Amon-level monster? Cardinal Antonio asked her to stop the saintess from borrowing her god’s power.
… Does she have to use that power to catch Amon-class monsters?
You can’t do that. If the saintess becomes weak, someone will protect me!
I said while looking at the garrison commander who was puzzled by this situation itself.
“…No, that’s right. Our saintess is someone who doesn’t know how to fight, so I always fight.”
In the end, I joined the saintess’ goura.

‘…Abel?’
Elfriede wondered why Abel was giving strength to her saintly lie. Elfriede looked at him with the power of the holy sword to understand his true intentions.
‘Do you want Saint Estelle not to use her power?’
Abel wanted Estelle not to use her strength. She wondered, but she must have a reason why Abel wanted it.
From noble mtl dot com.
Elfriede also decided to support Abel’s remarks.
“How can you leave the subjugation of monsters to the saintess? And she said, there’s no way the saintess is stronger than us, Levius.”
“…Elfriede, that’s because you don’t know…”
“Stop it, even if what you say is true, it is our hero’s role to subdue monsters. Am I wrong?”
“That’s…”
Levius couldn’t refute Elfriede’s words. Because it was a theory and it was true.
“Let’s do this. Levius and I subdue Amon-level monsters, Abel, you should block the monster wave and deal with Mother if possible.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Guardian, can we do this?”
Border Guard Captain Reynolds nodded in reply.
“Yes, warrior. We will be ready to depart right away!”
After Reynolds left, Estelle was a little puzzled when she saw Abel and Elfriede who had helped her.
‘…Thank you for helping me, but why?’
Actually, Estelle could have caught Amon-class monsters if she could catch them, but she thought that if she stepped forward, the heroes would have no chance to grow, so she didn’t want to participate.
As she had told Elfriede before, she intended to help if the situation was really dangerous. Abel probably knew that too, but he had told her as if he really shouldn’t fight.
‘…Is the hero misunderstanding something?’
Estelle stared at Abel, and Abel felt Estelle’s gaze and cautiously approached. And Estelle immediately laughed at her careful words.
“Saint, you did well.”
“…Foot♡”
“…Why are you laughing?”
“Huh, just ♡”
She couldn’t help but look cute in Estelle’s eyes when Abel asked if she helped her and if she did well. Estelle sneaked up on her tiptoe.
“You did a good job~♡”
She then stroked Abel’s hair. Then Abel was startled and stepped back from her.
“…..What, what are you doing!?”
Estelle giggled at Abel’s reaction.
‘You’re so cute&’

“Heroes! I will be competing soon so may you be blessed in advance!”
With that said, the garrison commander left to double-check the number of his men. Yes, you should be blessed
“Saint, please bless me.”
“Yes~♡”
The saintess hurriedly approached me and gently placed her hand on my chest.
《 Solaria’s Blessing 》
The divine power of the saint dwelled in her whole body. Thanks to her, her strength surged and her fatigue disappeared. She’s better than the Retirement Replica.
Elfriede was also receiving blessings from Saint Cynthia, and Levius…
Come to think of it, I brought Celine and there was no saintess next to Levius to bless.
“Holy Lady, can you only give your blessing to one person?”
“Yes. One priest can only bet on one person. If you cast a blessing on another person, the existing blessing will disappear.”
“…Well.”
Then I have no choice but to have Celine bless Levius…?
“Celine.”
“…Yes, hero. I’ll be back.”
…I haven’t said anything yet.
“You know what I’m going to say…”
“Aren’t you asking for a blessing on the hero of Levius?”
“…That’s right.”
Do you use mind reading?
“It’s an emergency, so we can’t help it. There is no need for the hero to be sorry.”
“…Well, please.”
Celine approached Levius. Levius looked at Celine like that and asked why she came.
“Shouldn’t you be able to fight only after receiving a blessing?”
“…Whoa, that’s right.”
Luckily, Levius acted rationally, and Celine gave Levius a blessing.
“…Celine.”
“…Why is that?”
“How about coming back, too? I will never touch you again.”
That crazy guy again…
“I’m sorry, but I don’t mean to.”
“What……”
Celine cut off the answer to Levius’ nonsense. Celine just gave her blessing and she came towards me again.
“Why are you like this, hero?”
“…Ah, no. I think Levius is saying something strange again.”
“I guess that’s who he used to be.”
I’m not that kind of a bastard.
Levius glared this way as if he was quite pissed off. Just as he was about to say something out of disgust in his eyes, Levius was startled and turned his head away.
Why are you like that? Like someone who saw something scary…
Then there was someone poking his side. There is only one person who would do this to me.
“…Why are you like that, saintess? Tickle.”
“Hero~♡ We have to start soon, so get on the horse~♡”
“…Yes?”
Suddenly?
“Ah, can’t the hero ride a horse?”
“…Never rode one.”
“Puhuh♡ There was a scumbag who couldn’t even talk♡ That’s a person called a hero~♡”
f*ck, teach me and tell me.
“I can’t help it, ride behind me.”
“…Yes?”
…Can you ride a horse?
“…You look at me with a strange gaze, hero.”
“…No? I’ve never had that. I just want to talk high…”
“…Because I can ride a horse well enough? Because I’m not as lame as anyone else♡”
How are you going to ride that tall horse at that height?
“Really? Try it.”
“Hey, take a good look.”
The saintess approached her horse and suddenly she stroked her mane. What are you doing not riding?
“It’s nice~.”
The horse might startle you, so should I calm you down in advance? You have to remember
After stroking her horse’s mane enough, the saintess put her foot on her stirrup. And she jumped up with all her might.
“……Puha!”
“…Why, why are you laughing!?”
As expected, the saintess was slightly short of height. Because she couldn’t get her leg over to the other side of her at once, she clung to her body like a koala and moved little by little.
“No, the posture is funny. Hee hee…!”
“…Whoa, that’s how you ride! I don’t know if she’s a crap who can’t even ride her horse!”
“Is it really like that? I don’t think so…”
I saw Celine riding her horse next to me. She put her feet steady in her stirrups and pulled herself up, then she casually slid her legs over her torso and put her feet in her stirrups.
“That’s how you ride a horse.”
You’re making excuses because you’ll get stabbed too. As expected, the saintess’ cheeks were slightly flushed, perhaps because she was embarrassed.
“…I won’t give you a ride.”
“Uh…Then I’ll ride with Celine.”
“Oh no! Ride here!”
What do you mean?
I tried to imitate the saint and Celine. She put her foot on the stirrup that the saintess had emptied and jumped and passed her foot. Oh, that’s great.
“…Didn’t you say you were riding for the first time?”
“Unlike everyone else, I’m tall, so I’m doing well.”
“……Unlucky.”
This is absurd. Who was born small
“Get your feet off the stirrups.”
“Oh, yes.”
“You have to strain her thighs and hold on. And hold onto it. If you don’t catch it, it will run and fall.”
Catch me?
“What are you holding on to?”
“What is it? Grab my waist. Do you have to explain that for them to understand~♡ Tall idiot♡”
“…Hold the saintess by the waist?”
“Yes. Surely, hero, aren’t you imagining something strange?”
“Because I didn’t.”
By the way… Can I really catch it?
Once I stretched out my hand and tried it. To hold her by the waist like this?
“Hero, what are you doing? Are you really ashamed♡ You’re so shy for barely touching your waist, and as expected, Dongdong Hero-nim looks intimidating~♡”
“Okay! I’ll catch you!”
…This is unavoidable. It is an act that is never selfish.
She held both sides of the saintess with her two hands. Wow, thin. Very skinny
“Wow!?”
“Uh, why are you like that?”
“… Hero, who told you to hold her like that?
“Ah.”
…Ah, that’s right.
I passed the saint’s waist and put the pod on the front of her stomach.
“Can I do this?”
“…Yes, that’s right.”
This posture is a bit… It’s a bit like that because it’s a posture that closely adheres to the body of a saintess.
…In many ways.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes, let’s go.”
The garrison commander nodded and ordered the army.
“All troops, forward!”

Thump!
Thump!
Every time I heard a thud, the ground shook. We waited in a position where we could visually observe the monster. The soldiers, of course, all the warriors, including me, held their breath.
“…Is that a monster?”
“It’s a giant monster.”
…Really f*cking big. Even if you measure it roughly, it seems to be over 50m.
“…That must be tricky.”
“More than floating type?”
Isn’t it usually difficult to fly? Mobility and not being able to fight on the ground would be inconvenient.
“Mobility will be much slower, but the problem is the shape of my holy sword and Levius’ holy sword. I’m a rapier suitable for piercing, and Levius is a small dagger, so it’s not good for such a huge monster. It’s good for a giant monster to have a weapon that can inflict huge damage in one shot.”
“…Like my greatsword?”
Elfriede did not deny it. Nodding her head, she added an explanation to me.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Yes, but I won’t entrust you with that monster’s partner. There…”
Elfriede’s gaze turned to the saintess in front of me.
Huh? Does Elfriede even know?
…When did you show off your strength like this?
“…Anyway, I won’t let you have to fight that monster. So, Abel, you must block other monsters as much as possible.”
“Okay.”
Elfriede turned to Levius and said.
“Levius, let’s go.”
“…I understand.”
Levius dismounted from his horse and took out a dagger from his waist. They were two daggers of the same shape but different colors.
Two?
“Saintess, out of those two daggers, which one is the holy sword of joy?”
“Oh my, I thought you would ask if the holy swords were made of a pair, but that’s surprising. You were a bit observant~♡”
…You could have thought so. I just thought it was simple.
“That dagger that is reddish in part and black overall is the holy sword of joy.”
“Ah.”
“The other side…Seems to be a holy relic of the Church of Ludria. I think the temple made it to be used as a pair with the holy sword of joy.”
“I see.”
El Friede also took out her rapier and dismounted from her horse.
“Abel.”
“Yes.”
“Good luck.”
“…Yes, be careful with Elfriede too.”
Elfriede nodded her head and stepped in front of her. Following her and Levius, her soldiers followed, packing weapons that could be fired from a distance, such as artillery.
“We will go too, saintess.”
“Yes~♡ It’s finally Hero Heojeop’s turn to step out♡ Before you go, I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“There must be a lot of advanced monsters under the command of Amon-class monsters. Advanced monsters like trolls are the basics, and if it gets worse, powerful advanced monsters like wyverns will appear.”
Wyvern? Didn’t I say that it belongs to the strongest axis among high-level monsters?
“Can I beat that?”
“Whoop♡ I’ll make you win~&”
You make it?
The saintess carefully placed her hand on my chest again. She’s like when she walks a blessing.
“…Saint?”
The blessing is already at stake…?
“!”
The sacred power of the saintess newly dwelled in her whole body.
…What is this? I feel like I have more power than before. I’m not kidding, I think I can smash rocks right now.
“How are you?”
“…What is this?”
“This is the most powerful blessing I can bestow upon you.”
“…It seems that blessings are also divided into grades.”
“Yes, that’s right. If you are the current hero, you should be able to defeat the wyvern. But don’t be careless, you know?”
The saintess cared for me and warned me until the end.
…Now I know that much too well.
“Thank you, saintess.”
“You want to protect the soldiers. It takes a lot of strength to do that.”
“…You didn’t use that… Force, did you?”
It shouldn’t be too much. Cardinal Antonio asked for something…
“…Oh my ♡ Are you worried about me? But it’s okay. This is just a kind of blessing, not the kind of power you worry about. So please fight to your heart’s content~♡”
That’s it. She nodded and raised the holy sword. The holy sword was originally light, but now it seems to be even lighter.
…There is no real cheat.
“…Whoa.”
Looked ahead.
The monsters I have to slay… At first glance, there are hundreds of them.
If you ask me if I can, I can answer with certainty.
“Go!”
I can do it now.
