Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 68

EP.68 Behemoth

Frillite, who had been holding hands with Cloud for a while, thought it was time to end the drinking party.

Because there was no sign of waking up from the sleeping Cloud.

She helped Cloud out of the room.

‘Where’s the Cloud room?’

As soon as she got out of the room, she ran into a problem. Frilite didn’t know where Cloud was staying. It was when she was contemplating whether she should just lay him down in the spare room.

She saw a woman with short blue hair walking down the dark hallway, relying on the faint light of a candle.

Frilite knew the woman’s identity.

It was one of Cloud’s colleagues.

‘The name must have been Neria.’

Neria looked around anxiously. She had a reason why she was doing this in the middle of the night.

During the day, she heard Cloud and Frilite betting on alcohol. It meant that the two of them were going to drink together, and Neria, who she wanted to know, went to Cloud’s room.

Cloud was not in the room.

Thanks to this, Neria was anxious and was looking for Cloud.

“You?”

Neria turned her head in surprise at Frilite’s voice. She was surprised once more as she looked at Frillite and Cloud leaning on her. Neria ran back and checked her Cloud’s condition.

“Cloud, are you okay?”

“Yes..? yes…”

Cloud opened his eyes slightly, checked Neria, and then closed it again. Looks like he’s drunk a lot more than he expected. Glad you found him quickly. It was when Neria was thinking like that.

“Are yoy Neria, Cloud’s colleague?”

Frilite spoke to her. It was then that Neria regained her consciousness and turned her attention to Frillite.

Unlike outside, where she wore silver armor, Frilite was wearing a white shirt and long black pants. It was her usual outfit, but when she wore it, she looked strangely pretty.

The saying that clothes are wings did not apply in this case.

Man was the wing.

Neria’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It’s not because of jealousy of Frilite’s beauty. It was dissatisfying that her attire was light.

“…Yes, that’s right.”

Frillite was puzzled for a moment when she saw Neria’s expression like that, and then continued.

“It was fine. Can you tell me where the room in Cloud is? I brought him out, but I was in trouble because I didn’t know the room.”

“Is that so? all right.”

Neria supported Cloud’s opposite shoulder.

“I’ll take the Cloud with me. Frilite-sama, please go in and rest.”

“Well? No i’m fine. It’s also my responsibility for what Cloud has taken, so I can’t burden you. Just tell me the location of his room and I will pick him up.”

Neria shook her head.

“If Frilite-sama takes him, you will be ashamed of whether Cloud woke up the next day and remembered whether or not he was ugly.”

Cloud is shy?

Frilite’s expression became strange.

“I don’t think so, but…”

“He will.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because Cloud and I are old friends from childhood.”

“Well?”

Frillite’s eyebrows twitched.

She doesn’t know why, but Neria’s words made me feel uncomfortable. Neria, unaware of her feelings, spoke her words.

“And Cloud is the Hero of our party. It is also my duty to look after him.”

Ah.

Frilite realized at least a little where this discomfort had come from.

She remembered the words Cloud had murmured in a pub in a village west of the Empire, near the border.

-Sorry.

-If I had done a little better, you…

At that time, Cloud missed his colleagues who had left in tears.

Turning everything to his own shortcomings.

Yes. They had left Cloud because he was incompetent. On the subject he was, she is now pretending to be for him.

Frillite hated Neria’s hypocrisy.

In her heart, she wanted to scold her out loud, but she couldn’t.

No matter what Frillite thought, Cloud accepted Neria again. Neria is Cloud’s colleague, and what she’s doing now is a natural act of taking care of her teammates.

There was no place for Frillite to intervene. So she persevered.

“Where is the Cloud room?”

“As I said before, the Cloud is…”

“I asked where the room in the Cloud was.”

However, she could not hide the anger in her voice.

Neria trembled at the angry voice.

“…Thank you again for your kindness, Frillite. But the Cloud…”

“Neria. What is your last name?”

“…the last name was not received.”

Junior Baron.

This is the title that Neria received when she was recognized as a knight. Since a horse is a title, it cannot be hereditary, so she did not have a castle.

If it was when she defeated the Demon King and was recognized for her work and received a real title, then the current Neria is just Neria.

“Right. Sir Neria, I will not ask again. Where is Cloud’s room?”

After Neria’s name, ‘Sir’ was added.

Unlike before, it was a word with authority. In other words, this was a command, not a request.

Order of the next governor of the Duke of Perdiak.

How many people on the continent can reject it? At least in this kingdom, it will be a handful.

And Neria couldn’t get into that hand. She told Frilite the location of Cloud’s room.

“I will take Cloud there. I has no intention of doing anything harsh, so don’t worry and go back. Sir Neria.”

“…All right.”

Frilite led Cloud to his room. Looking at the backs of the two men moving away, Neria bit her lips tightly.

* * *

A few days have passed since subjugating Behemoth. Except for Frillite, the three warriors’ party did not leave the Duke of Oler. It was because Duke Olaire, who was trying to make a connection somehow, was persistently holding on to him.

The treatment wasn’t bad, so our party didn’t leave until now.

‘Still, I have to leave soon.’

Behemoth was subjugated.

The implications of this are quite large.

After the death of Behemoth, the demons begin to attack in earnest.

Starting with Creas, the Four Heavenly Kings who descend first, Lich, who commands the undead corps, and the Queen of Demons, Succubus Queen.

Big events follow one by one.

Before they started, it was necessary to find and recruit Shedia, Katarina and Leslie.

That means you have to move quickly.

“So you shouldn’t be interested in such things.”

When I woke up, I found a letter stuck in the crevice of the door.

It was a duel with the name of Laurenne’s younger sister, Laurenne. In her letter she said that tonight he should come to the gym alone.

“I can’t…”

Unlike the mind, the body was honest.

When I woke up, the sun had set and I was crossing the darkened garden and heading to the dance hall.

But that sounds like fun.

A duel sent by Lorian’s sister.

How do you stand this?

As I was rationalizing myself, I arrived at the gym. A slender figure appeared above the dark theater where the only light source was the moonlight.

A woman with long curly brown hair.

It was Lauren.

She was wearing a thin and sharp broadsword around her waist, covering only the vital part with a metal plate for ease of movement.

“What did you do to my brother?”

As soon as I arrived at the gym, Laurene looked at me frightened and said,

“What are you talking about? By the way, were you really waiting alone? I thought the others were hiding it and trying to attack me.”

There was no sign of any significant presence around the gymnasium. They may have hidden a mastery enough to deceive my senses, but the possibility was low.

Why does such a great guy follow the princess of the Kingdom of Carta?

If they served the emperor, they would eat and live much better.

What that means is that Laurenne is really serious about dueling with him.

“Answer any questions I ask!”

Laurenne exclaimed as she drew her broad sword.

The anticipation that her sword showed off was unusual. I quietly compared my sword to hers.

‘…It’s time to change the sword slowly.’

I’ve been used this since I saw the friendship I had with Grandpa Sang-joo, whom I met in the Kingdom of Alitia, but now seems to be the time to let it go.

“Are you not going to answer me? Okay, let’s see how long you can keep your mouths shut!”

Laurenne started running towards me.

It’s not enough just to spit out all sorts of strange noises, to have seizures.

It’s really Lorian’s bloodline.

I drew a sword and used a pattern.

＜Glyph of Behemoth>

[The King’s Sense]

The senses are expanded.

The first thing I felt was hearing.

I could hear Laurenne’s footsteps, her breathing, and even her heartbeat.

Next is the time.

My vision, which had just been dark, opened up to gray and white. Darkness was no longer an obstacle. When I narrowed my eyes, I could clearly see the small scratches on Laurenne’s sword.

smell.

The smell of my body, the smell of Laurenne, the smell of earth, the smell of flowers in the garden, etc. Various odors came in at once, but they were distinguishable.

Sense of touch.

As Lauren ran, I felt the changing air flow through my skin.

“Die!”

A broad sword descending diagonally.

Turning to avoid it, Laurenne cut sword horizontally while rotating her right foot around her main axis.

It also didn’t reach me.

Because I had already distanced myself from her.

All of my enhanced senses made me read her movements.

“Damage from the lowly subject?!”

Judging that it was not possible to do just a normal attack, Laurenne started mixing fakes.

But even that is readable.

It was too obvious a fake to deceive the sense extended to the pattern.

After about two minutes, the expanded sensation gradually returned to normal.

As effective as it is, it doesn’t seem to last long.

It is not an attack that cannot be avoided without sensory correction. I calmly dodged or hit Lauren’s attack. After playing like her sword dance for such a long time, Laurene got tired of her fluff and touched her knee.

“It’s absurd… I can’t… this is absurd… I’m only talking to a warrior from commoners…”

Laurenne muttered in disbelief. She immediately opened her twin wicks in her eyes and she looked at me.

“What trick did you use?!”

“Yes?”

“Don’t even think about taking it off! Your movements have definitely changed along the way! I definitely felt it!”

Because there is a difference in the senses that I feel, the movement has to be slightly different.

There is a big difference between reading and seeing and anticipating.

However, the change in my movements was not that great.

Recognizing that is to say that she has some talent…

I thought she was a lover of royalty, but it’s surprising.

“Under! I see you are not answering. To cheat in a holy duel. Also, a lowly person should not be in custody.”

As if she had accepted my silence as an affirmation, she began to speak brazenly.

How are you?

“Hey, let me ask you one thing. Do you hate commoners so much? After all, they are your people?”

I asked as I walked to Laurenne.

As I moved, she was startled, then spoke in a voice overshadowed by evil.

“Yes! Isn’t it natural to dislike ugly things that you can’t learn and are not polite? In particular, things like you who don’t know the subject and install lowly are more than disliked, they are disgusting!”

“Please, let that hate be like c*ckroaches.”

“What? What else is that… huh?!”

Lauren’s eyes widened.

That’s natural.

‘Cause I’ve been throwing lip headbutts all over the place. Laurenne, who was momentarily stunned by my sudden kiss, grasped her situation and immediately swung her sword.

He tilted his head and avoided it.

Laurenne lowered her eyes as if she couldn’t believe what had just happened.

I shouted at her curiously.

“Have you lived your life dreaming of your first romantic kiss with a wonderful aristocrat? regret! Your first kiss is this commoner Cloud!”

“Ah… no… no no!!!”

Laurenne screamed.
