Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 125

“Are you here again?”

Marietta sighed and threw the worm up to her neck. A rat roaming the outside of the cage caught the flying insect, cut it into pieces with its sharp teeth, and swallowed it at once.

Cheeky-!

He waved his tail a few times as if to say thank you and left. Marietta smiled and looked around.

The stone walls and iron bars make you feel desolate just by looking at them.

A prison without ventilation is full of moisture, and it is very uncomfortable.

There was even a shackle on the wrist, so there was no discomfort or discomfort like this.

“Reminds me of the old days…”

The saint candidate of the Hero Lorian Party, Marietta.

She was born as the fourth daughter of a poor peasant family. My childhood memories were so messed up that I didn’t want to recall them even as a joke.

I work all day long and eat only a single potato. I tried to eat even more of that, but I was severely scolded.

Home

It is a narrow timber house with a straw roof.

The space is too cramped for a couple and 4 boys and 4 girls. Thanks to this, when they slept, the siblings had to do rock-paper-scissors to figure out who would sleep in the bed.

If I was lucky enough to sleep on the floor, I slept all that day.

All kinds of bugs will stick to your body and be annoying.

Sometimes, on days when an insect that got into your clothes bursts and dies…

Those were terrible days.

Marietta could not stand such a life. If you live like this, you will either starve to death or die of disease. She ran out of the house and committed herself to the church.

And she deeply regretted it.

Why didn’t you run out sooner? do.

To that extent, the quality of life at home and at church was different.

Basic daily necessities, a personal bed, and meals provided for three meals a day.

For Marietta, who only ate one potato a day, the church was like heaven.

Of course, the church also has its shortcomings.

First of all, since it is a closed organization, the hierarchy is strong.

They divided factions and had politics among themselves, and above all, religious education was difficult and difficult.

But for Marietta, it wasn’t much of a problem.

Hierarchy is strong

That’s more than landlords and peasants, right?

factional politics

It’s funny. Because the only thing you get from politics in it is being assigned an easy job.

The real problem was religious education…

Marietta clenched her teeth and studied.

A nun who cannot radiate the goddess’s blessing and divine power is not worthy to remain in the church.

She didn’t want to be kicked out of the church and live that beggar life again.

Fortunately, she was gifted, and it wasn’t long before she, as well as her age, radiated a more virtuous divine power than her predecessors.

After that, there was nothing special.

He worked hard and was treated accordingly.

In the end, the candidacy of saints has reached a position that ordinary nuns could not even dream of.

‘At that time, I really thought I could become a saint.’

The Empire did not appoint a saint candidate, and her hero, Lorian, was superior to other warriors, Gith and Cloud.

But in the end, it looks like this.

Trapped in a dirty, poorly maintained dungeon.

‘I really hate this…’

Marietta got used to life in the temple.

It means living intoxicated with comfort and comfort.

But now that I’m experiencing the same discomfort as when I was young, I couldn’t get used to it.

In the end, she looked into the empty iron cage on the other side with annoyed eyes.

It was the place where her hero, Lorian, had been imprisoned not so long ago.

‘Well, why are you doing this needlessly…’

It’s something I can’t take responsibility for.

As she clenched her tongue with displeasure, a soldier approached and opened the cages of the prison where she was held.

“Marietta, Archbishop Vedic has called you.”

“How does the tea taste?”

“It smells really good. If it’s not rude, may I ask where the tea leaves were grown?”

“The tea leaves were grown in the garden of the Royal Palace of Lupus. That was until something bad happened.”

“ah…”

Marietta put down her teacup and quickly bowed her head.

“I am sorry for what our hero has done this time. I should have stopped it, but the hero pushed me so hard…”

“Hey, raise your head. When the candidate of the saint bows his head, I feel uncomfortable. And I’m sorry I couldn’t get it out right away. I have told the Cloud Hero several times that such a place is not a suitable place for a saint candidate, but it took time to convince him because the hero was firm in his thoughts.”

“Oh, I see. I am grateful for the grace of the Archbishop.”

“no. You worked hard to live in a shabby place.”

“…I can’t honestly say no.”

Poor environment that reminds me of my childhood.

I never wanted to experience it again.

“It’s fine though. It was our fault in the first place.”

That’s why she goes to Archbishop Vedic in a low profile, even though she has the status of a candidacy.

You might be cocky and dragged back to the dungeon after this conversation.

Seeing her like that, Archbishop Vedic smiled satisfied.

“Thank you for saying that. Then, I will have to tell you about the reason why I have invited the saint.”

Archbishop Vedic said after taking a sip of tea.

“Mr. Marietta. Don’t you have any plans to invite Cloud Heroes other than Lorian?”

“…Yes”

The Archbishop’s proposal was something that even Marietta could not have thought of, so it was surprising. On the other hand, the archbishop continued speaking with a warm smile as if he had expected her reaction.

“It’s pretty. Marietta-sama, do you have any plans to invite Cloud Champion?”

“Oh no, wait a minute. I can’t keep up with the conversation. Cloud-nim, isn’t there already another saint candidate?”

“It was dirty.”

“yes”

it

Did you just describe the saint candidate as ‘that’?

He did not know that Marietta’s mouth, which had been opened in a series of unexpected events, would not close.

“Do you remember the past, when Ophelia turned into a gith warrior’s party?”

“Yes, ah, yes… I remember.”

can you forget

Lorian also brought in Eri.

In fact, at that time and now, Marietta was not interested. No matter what those women did, Marietta thought that she had to work hard at her job.

However, looking at the archbishop’s face now, it doesn’t seem like such a problem.

“At that time, the Prona Kingdom Church had an emergency. Not only the clergy and bishops, but also the previous archbishops ran frantically. I think Marietta-sama knows the reason.”

“yes…”

Wherever people live, in the end, they are all there.

So is the church.

Seeking more power and more honor.

It is for this reason that each kingdom appoints a saint candidate.

The church in the kingdom that produced saints will have a stronger voice.

“I understand what the Archbishop is saying. But as the Archbishop you spoke of would know better, if I turn to Cloud-sama’s party, I’ll lose all the church branches in the Kingdom of Carta. We cannot ignore the loss of our reputation externally.”

“You’re talking about turning down the offer.”

“Thanks for the suggestion, but yes.”

“no. If it’s Marietta-sama’s choice, then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Archbishop Vedic nodded and shouted outward.

“Look. Take Marietta-sama back to prison.”

Marietta’s eyes widened, staring at the Archbishop’s classroom door and the Archbishop’s eyes alternately, not knowing what to do.

“Come on, wait! Archbishop! I, the former saint candidate-”

“It’s a joke.”

“…Yes”

Archbishop Vedic grinned as he looked at Marietta, who had stiffened.

“Anyway, is there any way you can have the candidacy of Saint Mary in such a shabby place? I’m just joking around to get you to reconsider my suggestion. Weren’t you having fun?”

“No… that… yes, jay, that’s fun. haha…”

Is this human being a saint candidate funny?

Just try to become a saint later. Mr.

Marietta hid her feelings and forced a smile.

Archbishop Vedic’s tone became a little more serious.

“Probably, what Marietta-sama is worried about will not happen.”

“…how are you sure?”

“Lupus overcame the battle with the evil Four Heavenly Kings. With such lupus, the hero Lorian is greedy. Marietta, the candidacy of the saint, repeatedly asked her to reconsider, but she eventually raised the army. How is it.”

Isn’t that enough background for a saint candidate to turn around?

“…”

“Think about it. Hero, Lorian is running rampant. For some reason, he’s too obsessed with power. That’s just the case with this one. If he continues to run back and forth like this, he will eventually perish.”

Marietta could not deny the harsh criticism of Lorian. As he said, the recent Lorian moved quickly. Unlike the past, when he moved calmly and coldly.

He may do something worse than this time, and the aftermath may spread to those around him rather than being borne alone.

As if she was locked up in a dungeon this time.

‘…That’s not allowed.’

Marietta has worked hard to be treated better. Why did she have to be treated badly because of other people’s faults?

No, it would be nice if it was a treat.

If you look at what he is doing these days, it is not strange that he will be excommunicated one day.

After thinking for a while, she asked carefully.

“Why are you making this offer to me… Is it all about political retaliation against Miss Ophelia?”

At the sound of her suspicious voice, Archbishop Vedic widened his eyes and laughed out loud. He said, wiping away the tears that had come from laughing too much.

“You are misunderstanding something. I did not say this to avenge Ophelia.”

“then…”

“I just decided that Ophelia was not a good fit for Cloud Champion.”

Marietta wasn’t the only one who was called by the Archbishop.

Ophelia.

She was also called.

‘Ahhh…’

When I overheard the two of them outside the Archbishop’s classroom, I fell into a panic.

‘My… I… don’t suit a hero…’

I’ve been working so hard, but I’m still not enough

gradually. Her body reflected in Ophelia’s eyes began to be covered with dirt.

‘no..! dirty. dirty. dirty. dirty!’

She began to scratch her arm as if to remove dirt. The skin became red and swollen, then torn and blood dripped down.

Many priests and nuns saw Ophelia as she walked down the hall, but no one was willing to approach her.

It was not normal for anyone to see a woman scratching her bruised wound with tears on her face in fear.

“Brave… The Archbishop is looking for you with an urgent matter. Keep waiting for the hero to come.”

“Tell me to wait a little longer. I have more urgent business.”

Waving his hands roughly, he expressed his intention to return to the priest. But instead of returning, the priest raised his voice as if he was going to continue to come out like this.

“Hero!”

“why!!!”

“…what is it that you are more reluctant to call than the Archbishop-”

“Call, in your opinion, I am under the archbishop, use the word call”

“Yeah, ah, no, I didn’t mean that…”

“No, then go back quietly and tell the Archbishop to wait. If you unilaterally call without making an appointment, you will have to bear this amount. what are you doing. not going”

I frowned, and the hesitant priest returned reluctantly.

I looked back and turned my back.

I’m sorry for that friend who got caught in the middle, but what should I do?

I’m meeting my younger brother after a long time, can’t I be late because of work?

‘By the way, I was surprised.’

A guard came in the morning and the first thing he said was that Mars was looking for me. He was an unknown person, but he insisted strongly that he was detained for now.

I knew we’d meet someday, but I’m sure we’ll meet like this.

‘It must be faster for her to find me than for me to find her.’

Mars, how was he doing?

It’s been a while, so it must have grown a lot

I heard that there is a four-member group including Mars, but I hope my colleagues are the right ones.

As I was walking with that thought in mind, I arrived in front of the guard room where Mars was detained.

With a little anticipation, I opened the door to the guard room.

“No, well, it’s true… Uh, bro!”

I could see Mars talking with the guards.

Mars, whom I met after a few years, was quite different from before.

He was tall, and his body was stronger than before.

However, the smiling face of the guy waving his hand was the same as before.

As he was about to enter the guard room with a grin at him,

“Hey, was it real?”

A tone that I shouldn’t have heard hit my ears. I hurriedly turned my head. Three people with familiar visuals entered my eyes.

A golden sun that looks like a skinny fish.

A pig that looks like a bald eagle.

It’s not Isabelle, but a woman with pink hair.

‘…’

I slowly brought my hand to the hilt.
