66 – The Hero’s Demand
After the heroic commotion, the academy was quite noisy.
First of all, the biggest issue was that there were rumors that Prin did not recognize the warrior as a warrior. No, it’s not a rumor, but thanks to the public place, the story is spreading among the public that Citron Alofrit is a fake hero.
“By the way, the warrior’s pattern doesn’t appear on the back of my hand?”
Originally, it didn’t appear at this time, but it still appeared from the other side, so I was a little uneasy.
[‘Film fun’ asks what you were trying to do when the pattern appears.]
“Well… To hide it, I tried to make a scar that was so big that I couldn’t see the pattern on the back of my hand.”
I can’t help the hero’s traits that appear in the status window, but anyway, it appeared in the status window that no one except me can see, but the pattern of the warrior can be seen by anyone.
“I want to hide it if I can, but is that easy?”
[‘I didn’t want to remain a virgin’ says that’s right.]
If a pattern appears in an inconspicuous place such as the back, chest, or underfoot, the back of the hand will inevitably be noticed by people.
Wearing gloves can solve the problem, but there comes a time when gloves are unavoidable.
During combat, the feeling in your hands becomes dull and you have to take them off, and wearing gloves on your hands is more uncomfortable than you think if you don’t get used to it.
“If you’re going to live your whole life inconveniently, you’ll be in pain for a while.”
Is the body important?
I can sacrifice this body for a more comfortable and peaceful life than this body. If I can live a really happy life after I die, I will die happily.
“… No, I don’t want to die.”
In this life, there is no need to be betrayed and killed by someone, or to commit suicide lonely because there is no one to lean on.
There are still people I can trust in this world, and there are many people who are willing to die for me. There is no need for me to die and give those people the sadness of losing someone.
“Am I living a happy life at the point of thinking like this?”
He has no thought of dying, and he is obsessed with a sense of purpose and does not blindly follow it. You don’t even have to deliberately kill your emotions.
Wouldn’t this be a happy enough life?
[‘This is funny’ asks if your standards for happiness are too low.]
“Well… having wealth and fame makes life very happy, but it doesn’t help me much.”
They have no intention of living in pleasure, and their money exceeds a certain amount, so everything looks like there.
My needs may be small, but… What you can do with money and fame is unexpectedly limited. If you waste money, the people will die, and you will try to get rid of the nobles, and your reputation will be cracked even in the smallest things.
“Live as the head of a ducal family. There were a lot of things people sold out, you can count on one hand the number of times you called Seonggun?”
It’s not that the taxes were levied unreasonably. However, I did not exploit labor, and the people living in my estate wanted to live with a smile.
“But as soon as the rumor spread outside, it spread as if it were true.”
And rumors of that kind, far from shrinking, grow strangely as they pass from mouth to mouth. It has always been something that evolves more and more into popular disapproval.
Any sage… It is a law to perish because of the notoriety that spreads once.
“The strange thing about human beings is that if a bad person does something good, they suspect that that person is a good person, and if a good person does something bad, they stigmatize them as evil.”
I don’t know why. Even though we are the same human beings, we don’t know what human psychology is.
“What… It’s a long story, but I have one thing to say.”
I have no intention of becoming a warrior.
In the first place, the hero appeared instead of me, so do I need to go out to catch the demon king while struggling?
“… young master.”
“Oh, is Lane here?”
“Yes, but I have some bad news.”
bad news?
Is there anything bad going on?
I thought about it again, but nothing happened at this time, and I didn’t think I caused it, so I waited for Lane’s words.
“The hero, Citrine Alofrit, said that he wanted to take me and Lianne to the hero party as servants, and told the boy to formally serve as servants… .”
“what?”
A lot of big things are happening these days, so your ears are not good?
I asked Lane again, but the answer that came back was the same.
“Precisely, I told Rianne and I to betray the Primal family and come in as a member of the hero’s party and a servant of the Arofrit family… Even in the central square of the academy, where people gather.”
under… crazy guy
The warrior has the right to choose the warrior party.
Even if the hero goes to catch the devil alone, it takes too long to catch the officers of the devil army and the Four Heavenly Kings by himself, and the burden of doing it alone is concentrated on one person, so the hero’s party receives massive support.
Among them, there is also support for party members.
If you take him as a member of the hero’s party, immediately after the demon king is subjugated, he will be promised a position higher than the Viscount’s rank in the empire, and in the case of a hero, the position of a count’s family. Of course, the honor of being a member of the warrior party is a great reward.
But that doesn’t mean I don’t take them so randomly.
Most of them graduate from the academy and recruit people with good skills, or just pick a few people who are close to them and have certain skills, but… .
“Why do you want to take me?”
“… They seem to like the way they look.”
That crazy hero seems to want to set up a harem as a member of the hero party.
“So Lane. What do you want to do?”
“Of course I want to say no. The position of being a member of the warrior party is very attractive, but I don’t like the hero… Besides, I’m already Lian Primal’s maid. Isn’t it the duty to keep the maid’s duty to the end?”
“…haha.”
Laughter came out spontaneously.
Because it is the duty of a maid… Do you still remember what I said a while back?
“Then, I must work hard for my maid.”
With the black holy sword given to her by Rirke on her side, she opened the door and proceeded slowly.
Now, where will our warrior be… .
After walking a bit, I arrived at a place where people were concentrated, and there a woman with a familiar face was holding hands with the warrior sending her sparkling eyes.
“Also… It wasn’t that name in the original, but I wasn’t wrong. I wasn’t wrong!!”
“what the… .”
There, holding Citrine’s hand was Lianne with light blue hair.
The eyes that were dead were strangely lively, and a smile was formed on the expressionless dead face with a slight blush.
“The character and story of the original have changed a bit, as expected, Lian Primal! you’re the bad guy! It’s the villain, not the main character!!”
“What is he saying now?
While ignoring Lianne, who was talking strangely, I looked at the black-haired warrior next to me, and the warrior laughed and shouted at me.
“Puhahaha!! Take care of your maid! No, looking at the way you brought him next to you, did the maid named Grein also come to the warrior party to tell the truth? Even the Primal family is fleeting in front of the status of a hero!!”
“She barks well.”
Like a dog… barks very well
“what’s the matter? Are you pissed off? Does it feel bad to have our maid taken away, and even though we are in the position of a ducal family, we are bowing our heads to us as a marquis family!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha… .”
Laughter springs out spontaneously.
Although it is such a low-level curse and provocation, it definitely elicits people’s anger rather than talking in a noble way. Even now, look at it, the veins are sprouting in my hands, and it looks like they will explode even now.
“ah! Come to think of it, the Primal family, unlike other ducal families, had no strength or authority, but they maintained their ducal family only by adhering to neutrality, right? If that’s the case, just make the Primal family subordinate to me and raise the Alofrit family from a marquess to a duke… !?”
Kwadeuk.
The properly entered straight shattered the cheekbones of the hero in front of him and flew away.
It’s a pure physical attack that doesn’t contain magic or curses, but… It went in well because it was weaker than expected.
“Sorry, I was going to leave the will at least long, but I was more impatient than I thought.”
Shaking off the blood from his hands, he took off his gloves and threw them on the fallen Citrine Alofrit’s face.
“It’s a duel. Warrior.”
As I said that, a faint pattern appeared on the back of my hand… No one saw it.
Well, the transmigrator is really crap.
