EP.2 Oh, is it not too much to be a hero twice?
You have to work to eat and live.
Especially if you live in a poor village.
Therefore, there is no one in the inn in the morning except for the guest and the owner.
An empty hall on the first floor without people.
Two beautiful women were seated, and their faces were full of sorrow.
“Hey, what’s going on with this…”
The blonde beauty with a warm impression sighed.
The owner of emerald green eyes, her name is Ophelia.
She is a woman with a wide and warm heart as one of the candidates for a saint in the church that believes in the one God Iries.
“So that’s it. Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
The name of the woman who shook her head with a puzzled expression was Eri.
Characterized by her black sheep’s hair, she is an outstanding wizard and the second daughter of the duke of Prona Kingdom.
She could not understand the changed attitude of the warrior. The person whose sincerity is embedded in his bones is Cloud. He was the one who fell asleep last, and he was the one who woke up early.
However, for the past few days, he said that it was bothersome and he wanted to sleep, and he was stretched out of bed and couldn’t get up.
Thanks to this, the party had not been able to leave the village for several days.
again and again.
At the sound of descending the stairs, Ophelia and Eri’s heads turned. A little bit of anticipation disappeared when he saw the woman who came down alone.
“Isn’t it?”
The woman with dark blue hair and eyes nodded with an expressionless expression.
“If I don’t even listen to you, there’s no real answer…”
Eri shrugged.
This is because the woman who went up and down to wake up Cloud is none other than his childhood friend.
Cloud used to listen to his childhood friend Neria.
But did she ignore her words and lay down on the bed?
It means that you are very well thought out.
“What are you really doing that for?”
“…Maybe the hero found out?”
“No way. You know how dull Cloud is, right?”
“Eri, there are no absolutes in the world.”
“That’s but…”
Eri’s mouth was shut.
A Social Gathering to be held in the imperial capital next month.
There the three women were going to go to another hero’s party.
If the hero knew about it… it makes sense to do that now.
“…just knowing that doesn’t change anything.”
“That’s right, but…”
“Okay then. Let’s just leave it alone. Cloud will want it too.”
“all right…”
“…”
The three women also had the least amount of guilt.
But it won’t change how they move parties.
Because Cloud was an incompetent warrior.
* * *
A month has passed since I took possession of this weak body. I thought the nominal heroines, who were annoying for the first few days, gave up for some reason after that…
“Soldier. You must go today.”
Candidate Saint, who enjoys exposure play, spoke to me. Wow, look at that slit in the upper chest and the side slit. What about big boobs and ass? Does it really come true that I have joined Yagame?
Hahaha.
Damn, where do you see that a candidate for a saint?
Succubus.
Ignoring it as usual and chewing the bread, she sighed as if she knew it would.
“If you don’t go today, you’ll be late for the Imperial Social Gathering… If the hero doesn’t want to go, we have no choice but to go.”
“The Imperial Social Gathering?”
Oh, that event?
The Imperial Social Gathering is a Social Gathering held in the capital of the Empire, which is the center of the continent, and is famous for gathering all kinds of celebrities and making friends.
Of course, there were other heroes as well.
When Cloud goes there, he faces all kinds of neglect and persecution because of his low-level skills and being a commoner.
For example, the sweet potato event.
But for me right now, that doesn’t matter.
‘If it’s the food of the imperial capital, wouldn’t it still taste good?’
Bread and bland soup are now boring.
I don’t even want to look at the stew with the fishy smell of chicken.
damn this world.
It’s obviously a different world from the old world, but the food is the same.
Still, if it was an empire called the center of the continent, the cooking level would be better.
If it’s a Social Gathering, I’ll sprinkle some spices on it.
It will be a hundred times better than that bland soup.
“Yes, warrior. If you don’t leave right away…”
“let’s go.”
“Time is… yes?”
As if she didn’t expect my answer, Ophelia widened her eyes. Either way, I got my clothes on.
“Let’s go. Empire.”
After collecting all the rest of the items, I passed Ophelia, who was idly by, and went down the stairs.
Only me, who was sitting at the table on the first floor, saw me and gave me a surprised expression when, rather than a tsundere girl and my childhood friend, Wang Juji.
“Cloud? Did you come down to eat? No, the innkeeper must have brought the meal, right?”
Rather than a childhood friend, Neria, the princess of Wangju, looked at me and the stairs in bewilderment.
“He said he should go to the Imperial Social Gathering. let’s go.”
The two looked at me blankly, just like Ophelia. What. Have you ever seen a hikikomori come out of the room?
Hikikomori also goes out to buy hamburgers, right?
Don’t ignore it.
I left the two of them and left the inn. Then the two men and Ophelia hurriedly followed me out of the inn.
“what? I was locked up in my room for a month, so I thought I wouldn’t go… Why did you change your mind?”
Eri crossed her arms, characteristic of tsundere, and spoke in a cheeky manner.
Surprisingly, none of them were cute.
“You know what to do. Okay, where is the carriage?”
“Is there a wagon in a village like this?”
“Are you going to walk then?”
“No, you don’t have to worry about that. He said there are even horses in this town. You can borrow it.”
Neria shook her head as if to be relieved.
“yes? Then let’s go there. guide me.”
“…I know.”
Neria turned her back with a bitter expression and started walking. As she walked behind me, someone poked me in the side. She turned to see Eri staring at me with her dissatisfied expression on her face.
“Why are you talking like that? You can talk a little more kindly.”
Naturally, I ignored it.
To wish kindness to the kidnapped person. Like these conscientious servants.
As I ignored it, Eri stared at my face for a while, then sighed as if exhausted from the grass and looked away.
So we walked silently for a while and arrived at the stable.
“Hey, warriors, what’s going on here?”
The owner of the stable who saw us approached us with a smile.
“I want to borrow a horse. We will only ride until we reach the next city, and the return will take place there.”
“If it’s right next door… it won’t be too far. How many are you planning to rent?”
“Three, please.”
three?
Oh, it seems there is one of us who can’t ride. Probably Erina Ophelia. A wizard or a nun might be unable to ride.
Of course, this would be impossible if it were the world I was dragged into, but this is a peaceful place.
I decided to understand with an open mind and looked at the horses in the stable.
‘This white horse seems to be in the best condition.’
It’s not a city, it’s a village in a rural area. Everything will be there.
Still, good is good.
I put one foot on the stirrup and got on the horse at once.
– Hehehe!
As the stranger got on the horse, excitedly, it raised its front paws.
“Wow, woah.”
He stroked his mane and reassured him.
Then the guy calmed down, as if he had ever been excited. I stroked the horse and waited for the other party to ride.
However, no matter how much they wait, the three of them show no sign of riding a horse.
“what are you doing? Don’t you ride?”
“Um… Cloud, I can’t ride if you sit there.”
Neria smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek.
“…you’re a knight and can’t even ride a horse?”
A knight who can’t ride a horse?
I’m really going this worldview.
“What nonsense? It’s you, Cloud, who can’t ride a horse, right? You have to go back, Neria controls her horse.”
what? for a moment. what kind of bullshit is that?
“…Eri, Ophelia, do you know how to ride a horse?”
“of course.”
“Yes, yes, but… Why are you doing this, Hero?”
Two people who reacted naturally.
Uh… So that’s what they’re talking about?
Cloud didn’t know how to ride a horse, so when he rode he rode on Neria’s back?
In an unexpected reality, I stopped tapping my forehead.
A warrior can’t ride a horse?
a warrior?
What kind of bullshit golden sun is this?
“Now I know how to ride.”
“…What?”
“Now I know how to ride a horse.”
“No, what do you mean?”
I lightly patted the horse’s ass. Then the horse slowly began to walk forward.
“…what?!”
“Uh…?”
“…This…?”
The three heroines were very surprised even though they only showed them how to ride a horse. I showed them horseback riding tricks that only experienced teaching assistants could do.
him,
“What is this…”
Neria was astonished with a stiff face,
“I can not believe it…”
Eri kept muttering that she couldn’t believe it.
“Oh God…”
Ophelia covered her mouth with her hand and knelt down.
There was nothing I could do but laugh at this absurd situation.
Haha, Cloud, you bastard. Was it open-ended?
