Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 62

EP.62 Behemoth

“Sister!”

“Damn?!”

As Cloud hugged her tightly, Adreana was not a bit bewildered.

‘I didn’t expect this kind of reaction.’

You either don’t believe it or you say it’s nonsense.

They are angry about why they neglected themselves and their mother until now.

Or, in an instant, say that you have risen from a commoner to a nobleman and be elated.

She expected it to be one of three.

This is because all those who have appeared as illegitimate child of the Salierre family have been like that.

But Cloud is my brother! He shouted and hugged her.

It was as if he had met a family that had really been separated.

Adrea was a bit absurd about it.

We haven’t seen each other in our entire lives, let alone parting, so how did you react like this?

‘No, more than that…’

You’re too attached!

No matter how half-brother he is, he is a man whom she thought he was a stranger until recently. She couldn’t be more than happy to be hugged all of a sudden.

Adriana pushed Cloud away.

“Ah… I’m sorry. sister. I was so happy that I had a family, so I made a mistake.”

Cloud apologized to Adreana with a sorry face.

Adriana smirked.

“Before, you acted like you were going to kill me by waking you up, but now you’re mild?”

“It’s my sister.”

“Actually, a half-sister.”

“What does it matter? It’s important to have a family again.”

Cloud smiled brightly and told the story of his past.

From an early age, he was persecuted in the village for being fatherless, and in the meantime, his mother fell ill, and shortly before her death, she took over the Pommel of the Salieres family.

It was a repertoire for Adreana, who had faced many half-brothers.

However, the story of Cloud that she is currently listening to did not feel boring.

Although it wasn’t a funny story, she listened to it and, to a lesser extent, empathized with him.

When he told the story of being persecuted by the villagers, she frowned.

Unlike her other half-brothers, Adriana had a reason to take Cloud’s story seriously.

It was because she saw Cloud purely happy that she had an older sister named Adreana.

All the half-brothers I’ve met so far are of the Salieri family, but they see her only as a tool to change their miserable life.

It means that they did not show a pure reaction like Cloud. That is why she was moved by the pure heart of her half-brother whom she saw for the first time.

When the story ended, Ariadne’s sense of psychological distance from Cloud had diminished a lot.

“It must have been very difficult. Sorry for leaving you alone for so long. From now on, my sister will take care of you a lot.”

“Thank you. Then, can I ask for one thing from sister?”

“…ask?”

Adreana’s brow twitched.

Maybe he’s the same as the other half-brothers in the end?

Fortunately, her worries were over.

“As you know, I don’t get along very well with Gis, right? So by the way, can you let me know in advance if Gis tries to harm me or my party members later?”

Cloud’s request was very commonsense.

Adreana nodded happily.

Of course, there was the calculation behind it.

‘It would be better to build trust by telling them once or twice.’

Just because the psychological distance has decreased a little, it does not mean that the original purpose has been forgotten. ‘Cause she’s not an idiot If you warn him of danger once or twice and gain trust, it will become easier to take advantage of him.

After a few more conversations, Adreana prepared to leave the barracks.

“Go in carefully. sister.”

“I will. Sorry for waking you up while sleeping. And today’s work is…”

“Is it a secret? I will protect it.”

“Yes. thanks.”

Adreana left the barracks only after several times urging Cloud to keep the fact that she was her half-brother a secret.

Cloud stared at Adreana’s back as she left.

‘It will be useful once or twice.’

Hopefully, Gis will be able to figure out the timing to send the Assassin of the Zadok Society.

Cloud yawned and crawled into bed.

* * *

It had been about three weeks since I arrived at the garrison.

I got Randolph’s call and headed to his barracks. As I entered the barracks, I found a familiar face.

“Cloud, long time no see.”

It was just Frillite.

Dressed in silver armor, she smiled and held out her hand to me.

I grabbed that hand.

“I know. Nice to see you after a few months. How have you been?”

“These days were not much different from usual.”

“What have you been doing?”

At my question, Frilite folded her arms and began to recall her past memories.

“After I broke up with you, I headed straight to the eastern part of the empire. As reported, the Apostle of the Evil God is bewitching the citizens. I killed the gnome and purified the citizens polluted by the spirit of evil spirits. Since then, I have done little things, such as capturing the leaders of the Revolutionary Army and executing the warlocks who tampered with forbidden magic together with the church.”

Frillite sputtered out what she had been doing, as if nothing had really happened.

You’ve been working hard

“What have you been doing all this time?”

“Me? I was just exploring a small dungeon.”

“Did you explore the dungeon? That’s interesting. What treasure was hidden?”

“Uh… nothing really great. As I said earlier, it was a small dungeon.”

I can’t say that it’s a medicinal herb that can’t stop growing.

“Kick. That’s what your bastard does.”

Gis, who was standing opposite me and Frillite, smirked. He had entered the barracks while I was talking to Frilite.

I responded with a gesture of putting my thumb between my index and middle fingers.

Gis, who knew the meaning of this gesture, was furious and pulled out a chain scythe.

“You bastard!”

“Do you bark?”

Stay away from him, I was also about to draw my sword. A strong wind pressure came out and hit Gis. Frilite was wielding a great sword.

“Stop. We came here to solve the abnormal situation that occurred in the forest, not to fight with the heroes.”

When Frillite stepped forward, Gis ferociously twisted his face and put the chain scythe without saying a word. It seems that the experience of having a hole in the abdomen was intense.

“Cloud. You too, take your hands off the handle of the sword.”

“Okay. But did you really need to split the table? From the look on Sir Randolph’s face, it seems like a very expensive item.”

Frillite turned her head to look at Randolph’s face. She apologised, coughing as if embarrassed to see Randolph blankly staring at the table.

“…I’m sorry. I’ll make up for it later.”

“It’s okay… can I speak sooner than that?”

Randolph looked around the four warriors one by one.

We all affirmed silently, and Randolph sighed and began to explain why he had called us.

“First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Hero who have come a long way to help the Duke of Oler. And to start with the main point, our military is marching into the forest to solve the cause of the anomaly.”

“Are you going to end it quickly? That’s fine.”

Gis smiled looking at Randolph as if he liked it.

The facial expressions of the other warriors didn’t look bad either.

I asked Randolph.

“How many troops are available?”

“More than 500 people were killed and injured. And we plan to put in all about 5,000 people except for the 500 who will protect the wounded.”

Randolph’s answer was quite surprising.

“Are you going to send in all the troops? That means we are going to remove the defense line surrounding the forest, but what do the monsters who have escaped the forest think?”

“That’s why we’re leaving 500 people to protect the wounded.”

“That’s not what I mean. The monsters that have left the forest will wander through the nearby villages and eventually head to the city. If the gates were to be opened, the citizens would be at risk, and Sir Randolph was asking if he was willing to accept it.”

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry. According to the reports of the scouts, the number of remaining beasts and monsters is at most 500. That would not be enough to break through the gates.”

“Is this reliable information?”

“Information gained at the expense of numerous scouts. No doubt.”

Randolph had an expression on his face to the point that he couldn’t be more determined than this. Having said that, there should be no doubt about it.

Because it might be the starting point of my conflict.

Having decided to march into the woods, all that was left was to craft the details and prepare for the march.

* * *

It is not easy to march through the forest.

The forest path is at most wide enough for five people to walk together.

Naturally, there was no way the army could advance along that path, and the majority had to go through the forest.

As it was an army, I had to line up with. Oh, so the pace had to slow down even more.

“So when are we looking for Behemoth…”

It was right to divide the army to find it efficiently.

However, if it did, there was a possibility that the one who was attacked by Behemoth and the behemoths he wields would be annihilated.

To reduce damage, they had to move together, even if they were slow.

“You are a very confident speaker. Couldn’t the Behemoth be the cause of this situation?”

Frilite, who was moving next to him, said.

You might think so from Frillite’s point of view, but since I’ve been playing the game, I know that the cause of this is Behemoth.

If so?

“Would you like to bet then?”

You should use it right away.

“Bet? Not bad, but what are you going to do with it?”

“The loser counts the drink. Instead, it doesn’t matter if you drink expensive alcohol.”

Frillite narrowed her eyes.

“Did I say we should only drink ale?”

“…are you going to be funny?”

I looked at Frillite with the most earnest expression and eyes. If you don’t do this, you’re not human. At that, Frilite laughed.

“It would be okay to have a drink after a hard job. Instead, it’s just this one time.”

“Yes!”

Fucking Aile, hello!

What an expensive wine, hello!

As I was rejoicing inside, someone grabbed my arm. It was Neria who was pulled over, and she looked quite bad with her complexion.

“Okay, Cloud? Maybe Frilite-sama and I have a drink together…”

It was before she had even finished speaking.

The forest shook at the loud cry of the beast.

At the same time, there was the sound of something rushing through the forest.

They are probably beasts and monsters.

Their footsteps weren’t directed at us.

Rather, it was getting farther away.

They must be heading to the city with the intention of robbing an empty house.

‘I’m glad Randolph’s information is correct.’

If the number of monsters had reached a thousand, the forest would have shaken just by running them.

But the forest did not waver.

It was the moment I was reassuring.

I saw something flying in the sky.

The face and body are female, but only the arms and legs have the characteristics of birds.

it was harpy

The harpies were flying with their big boobs swaying.

What? Why are they coming out here?

They’re not from the Behemoths.

No, rather than that, are they flying to the city now?

This changes the story a lot.

‘I’ll have to get Randolph’s joint later.’

respectfully.

I sighed and asked Frillite.

“Do you want to go or will I go?”
