Chapter 60 – Let’s Go, Hero♥
Chapter 60
All of us who were heading to the cafe city in search of a hint to wake up the ego of the Holy Sword were walking limply.
“…It’s hot.”
In the sweltering heat, I naturally feel uncomfortable. Goddess Solaria, please have mercy. The person you care about here is also hot.
“Haaa…”
I’m not kidding, the saintess was having a hard time. No matter who hears it, it is pitiful for the viewer to see the tired look.
I get really hot.
“…Well.”
I looked around and looked around. Is there no place to rest a little? But I heard a sound like something flowing in my ear.
It sounds like the sound of running water. It was coming from the mountains nearby.
“…What is it?”
…Why do I hear this? I listened again, wondering if I had heard it wrong.
The babbling sound of the valley water tickled my ears.
Were my ears originally this good…?
“Why do you…?”
Celine asked me in a voice exhausted from the heat. I looked at her for a moment, then looked at her saintess and said.
“Holy Lady, let’s take a break.”
“…Ha, no.”
“Why?”
“Hey, I don’t have time to relax…”
I’m fine, but you look tough?
“It’s not because I want to rest, it’s because the saintess looks tired.”
“…Sigh.”
Perhaps because of the heat, the saintess’ cheeks were also red. She glanced back at me and she murmured.
“…Don’t do that again.”
“Yes?”
“…I can barely hold it in.”
From noble mtl dot com.
…So what’s the point of putting up with it when it’s hot?
“Don’t hold back, just rest. A little rest won’t cause any problems.”
“…Are you really an idiot, hero? That’s not what you meant…This sympathy♡”
“…Ehh.”
If you keep insisting, you have no choice but to take them by force. I grabbed her saintess by the wrist.
“Huh!?”
“Go over there.”
“Yes, yes? Where….”
“Hey.”
I pointed to the mountain.

“Ah…!”
Abel grabbed Estelle’s wrist and led her to the mountain next to her. Celine suddenly sees Abel straying from her path and she quickly catches up behind her.
The wooded mountains were shaded and quite cool. Compared to the scorching sun, there was nothing like heaven. Because it was at a high altitude, the breeze blowing coolly cooled the sweaty body.
Abel moved forward without hesitation. Estelle, who was being led by her wrist, said in a panicked voice.
“Wait a minute. Hero, I have no intention of training you yet.”
“What kind of training? I didn’t come here to catch monsters.”
“…Yes?”
“I came to rest.”
Abel’s answer made Estelle more suspicious. But now that Abel was holding her wrist tightly, Estelle only blushed and she couldn’t resist much.
As we went deeper, we heard the sound of water. Estelle and Celine opened their eyes slightly wide when they heard the sound.
Celine asked Abel.
“Is there a valley? How did you know?”
“I heard the sound of water.”
“Yes?”
Can you hear the water? Estelle and Celine looked at each other for a moment. They hadn’t heard the sound until they had come this far, but Abel said that he heard the sound of the valley running from the roadside.
Abel, who had been walking without hesitation, stopped her abruptly. Thanks to that, Estelle stopped walking, and Celine stopped her steps and looked at Abel.
“Wait a minute.”
There was a guest who came to the valley first. A horned monster in the shape of a large white tiger. It was the Horn Tiger that Abel had once subdued.
Horn Tiger, who was drinking the water from the valley, didn’t seem to notice Abel’s presence yet. Or maybe he was distracted from the heat to quench his thirst.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Abel silently took out the holy sword she wore on her back. She then jumped out in an instant and swung her holy sword.
Chack!
Horn Tiger’s body was split cleanly by the huge slash of the holy sword. It happened in an instant.
“…Saintess, what happened to the hero?”
“…Well…Well…”
Estel was also taken aback. Her speed was completely unexpected. She said Estelle hadn’t given him any blessings.
Estel made a suspicious assumption about Abel’s sudden change.
“…Maybe it’s the influence of the blessing I gave you last time.”
“What do you mean?”
Estel explained to Celine’s question.
“Sometimes there are people like that. People who receive divine power and absorb it into their bodies. Although they are not born with divine power, there are people who can accept divine power through their constitution.”
“Ah…There are cases like that. So, does the saintess say that because the hero has such a constitution, the influence of the divine protection remains?”
“…Otherwise, the abnormal hearing and speed cannot be explained.”
“That’s right.”
Perhaps, Abel’s rapid strength up until now had that effect. Originally, the divine power remaining in her body disappeared after a while, but Abel was constantly being healed and receiving blessings with her divine power over and over again.
‘If the hero is like that…’
You will be able to become a much faster and stronger warrior than other warriors. Abel approached Estelle while thinking about that.
“Holy Lady, it’s safe now, so hurry up and pour some water on it.”
“…Yes?”
“At least wash your face. Now her face is also red. What if I get heat stroke?”
Estel’s face was as red as Abel said. But that wasn’t the cause of heatstroke.
So she was a little embarrassed. It was true that it was hot, but not to that extent. But she didn’t feel bad. She was glad that Abel cared about her.
‘Hero…&’
And it was true that it was hot. I was thinking that I wanted to jump into that valley water right away.
“…I see.”
Estelle followed Abel’s words and went to the valley and dipped her hand in it. As the cool water touched her skin, she felt refreshed in her head.
“Ha ha.”
“It’s cool.”
Before I knew it, Celine came by Estelle and splashed water on her face. Estelle also splashed the clear water she had filled her hands on her face.
“Haa…”
I really felt like I was going to live. As the representative of the sun goddess, she couldn’t stand the heat like this. With a self-deprecating laugh, Estelle wiped away her sweat with water.
‘Where is the hero?’
Estel looked around as she brushed her slightly wet bangs. Abel was wary of his surroundings while Estelle and Celine were washing up.
“…Hero?”
“Let’s rest for a bit and move on. If the saintess gets better.”
After saying that, Abel looked around again.
“You have become a hero, right?”
At Celine’s question, Estelle looked at Abel again. Her closed lips opened, and a friendly voice leaked out.
“…I see~&”

“This is a cafe.”
City of Caput. It is said that the city is named after the cafe family, the lord of the surrounding area.
I thought it was Starbucks.
My first impression of Café City was simple.
“It’s small.”
The city is small. Since it’s a city, it’s bigger than the villages I’ve stayed in often, but it’s much smaller than the cities I’ve seen so far. Even more than Habsburg City.
Celine added a reaction to my comment.
“At this rate, it is quite large. There are many small and medium-sized cities in other countries that are much smaller than here.”
“Really?”
At that point, isn’t the name of the city a waste?
“Hero, I will be away for a while.”
“Yes? What do you mean?”
Celine, you can’t escape again.
“There is a branch of the Church of Ludria in Cafe City. I need to visit the branch and let them know that I left Hero Levius and joined Hero Abel.”
“Ah…”
Well, the affiliation has changed, but I have to report it to the upper management.
“By the way, are you going alone?”
“Yes, I just need to convey the word anyway.”
“Are you okay?”
I’m a little worried. What if Celine is bitten by Levius for leaving her side?
As if Celine knew what I was worried about, she replied in a calming tone.
“It’s okay. I’ll go to the church and go to the plaza around 7pm. See you there.”
“…I see.”
Celine nodded her head and entered the city first, and I turned to her saintess.
The saintess didn’t turn her head away, but she lowered her gaze. It’s like she doesn’t want to make eye contact with me.
…At this point, maybe I did something really crazy after drinking. Otherwise it can’t be explained
“Saintess.”
“…Yes?”
While answering each and every question, his gaze is directed elsewhere.
…Does it matter? It’s okay if you answer well. I asked her saintess.
“I have a little time left until I meet Celine. Where will she hang out?”
“…Yes?”
The saintess looked at me with an expression that said, “I was embarrassed.” Why are you so upset
There is a promise I made to her to comfort her when she was upset because I went out with Chloe in the past.
“Don’t you remember the promise? When the saintess was working, she got angry at Chloe and I for playing together.”
“Oh, I didn’t pout.”
“…Anyway, at that time I asked the saintess to go play separately later. You just have some free time, do you want to go?”
The saintess was speechless.
I had the courage to suggest it because I had an excuse to ease the awkward atmosphere. To be honest, I’m ashamed to say this.
Still, the saintess kept her silence.
…Don’t you like it? Stop if you don’t like it, b*tch!
“Tell me if you don’t like…”
“…Good.”
The saintess raised her head slightly and looked up at me. Amber eyes glistening in the sunlight stared at me, her cheeks flushed.
“The two of us…Let’s play.”
…Why are you being cute again?
“…Keuhmm, that’s right. Where would you like to go?”
“Do you know what is in this city, hero?”
“…No.”
Okay?
“…But where are you asking to go? After all, the hero is an idiot, right?”
“I became a fool because the saintess was such a fool.”
When she threw her joke, the saintess laughed lightly. The corners of her eyes curled slightly as she drew an arc resembling a crescent moon.
…Okay, smile as usual. Don’t be a stranger.

Estelle had a fever all over her body. It was because her heart was beating so fast.
‘Is this a date…?’
As soon as Celine left for her business, Abel immediately asked her. Won’t you go out to play?
As soon as he heard her words, Estelle’s heart started beating fast. It was so severe that I was worried that Abel might hear it.
Perhaps the expression on her own expression showed that emotion, Abel explained that she had promised him before. She, of course, also remembered Estelle.
She didn’t think that Abel would bring her up so first.
‘…Good. So good. Let’s hang out together.’
I have to answer like this, but my voice didn’t come out easily because I lacked courage, and only thoughts lingered in my head. Estelle chewed her lips lightly.
‘…A fool.’
As Estelle remained silent, Abel misunderstood Estelle’s feelings. She thought she was doing this because she didn’t like her and he opened her mouth.
“Tell me if you don’t like…”
“…Good.”
Estelle was surprised even after she answered. When Abel tried to tell her that it was okay if he didn’t like her, she became impatient and gave a direct answer without realizing it.
Her Estelle was the most embarrassing moment in her life. Abel was a little taken aback by her own answer.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘…Have courage, Estelle.’
Cheering her own heart, Estelle looked up at her Abel. As she met Abel’s face, her cheeks spontaneously heated up as she remembered her words he had spit on her earlier when he was drunk.
But she couldn’t be put out in the yard that had already been dumped. So she had to be brave.
“The two of us…Let’s play.”
As Estelle put up with her shyness and spoke, Abel turned her head away and cleared her throat, she said.
“Keuheum, that’s right. Where would you like to go?”
Estelle tilted her head at Abel’s words. Did you even know the geography of the cafe city? But that was an unlikely story. It was most likely that this idiot warrior said it without thinking.
“Do you know what’s in this city, hero?”
To Estelle’s question, Abel answered no. Estelle laughed inwardly at Abel’s stupidity.
‘…Stupid♡’
She felt a little more at ease and told Abel about her playfulness, and Abel responded with an appropriate joke. She was a little grateful for his consideration, and Estelle smiled at her eyes.
It was embarrassing to still remember those words from then, but Estelle said with a much more relaxed mind.
“Go, warrior &”
