58. But when I came to see it, our tower collapsed
From noble mtl dot com
I got the tower and finished packing, but I can’t live there right now. While the adventurers were cleaning every nook and cranny of the tower, we were at Jajac Castle.
A neatly organized figure showing how long it has been distorted under the influence of Lee Gye-hwa. Semi-permanent luminescent stones and chandeliers shine everywhere, and beneath them is a luxuriously decorated banquet hall for nobles.
Well, maybe it’s because it’s a country estate, but it’s a little short of my standards, but I could tell that they put a lot of effort into it. Since there has been a heinous incident recently, I should show off my strength even more.
So, why are we called here?
“Your sister has already noticed, so it seems the time has come for us to clarify our support.”
That’s right. We also received something, so we can’t just ignore Alud’s request any longer. I tried to be condescending by giving away the Heilhender, but it still didn’t work.
Well, it’s not that I don’t understand Alud’s position either. The situation in which his aide, the sorcerer, was executed. In order to quell the rumors, there is no choice but to cover it with a bomb that is worse than that.
And the appearance of the hero was a big enough wave to cover up such trivial rumors.
“Is that the rumored person…?”
“The hero of this generation is particularly beautiful.”
Because they also needed someone to supervise the adventurers, Choco left the tower and Cream came alone. Of course, there were me and the Holy Sword hanging from its waist.
Cream sat calmly, not paying attention to the gazes around her, but no one dared to approach her.
It was because of her status as a warrior, and also because of the rumors that she was driving her disaster, and above all, it was largely because of the divine protection she always wore.
“Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute?”
If her cream doesn’t want her, her criminals won’t dare to touch her. In other words, this young man who is talking to Cream right now is not an ordinary person.
Blonde hair as soft as melted honey, golden eyes squinting and smiling, all these were symbols of the imperial family, and the young man was a member of the imperial family. He’s also a face I’ve already seen once.
“You are…”
“Isn’t this the first time we’ve seen each other since then?”
A young man who asked Cream at the public ceremony if he had the ability to foresee. The blood of the Prophet flows in the imperial family, and this young man also inherited that power. A difficult opponent in many ways.
The young man naturally gave a likable smile, but Cream, interrupted by snack time, just glared at him with a sullen eye.
“My name is Fieren Goldberg.”
However, even when the young man reached out, Cream remained silent. At that stubbornly exclusive attitude, Fieren smiled shyly and withdrew his hand.
“hahahaha. It seems to be hated somehow.”
“Go away, go.”
I don’t know if the high-ranking officials of the distant empire have anything to eat in this countryside, but it smells bad. Cream also knew it intuitively.
Above all, she is a warrior. She is not of the imperial family, and even when her emperor comes, he cannot force her to obey her. However, there was rather a certain grace in her utter disregard for her aristocratic precepts.
Wouldn’t it be too much if there was grace in the way she opens her tiny mouth and swallows a piece of cake in one bite? However, even when she heard the girl’s rude words much younger than me, Fieren didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.
“Still, didn’t I take the hero’s side at the announcement ceremony?”
The only thing that came to his face was embarrassment. Like the Holy Sword, this was the temperament that Cream possessed as a human being. It is not any ability, characteristic, or protection. Something close to an aura or a pheromone.
If the Holy Sword moved people with its gentle tolerance and firm persuasive power, Cream possesses innocence like a blank sheet of paper. Her actions are accepted as they are, without any misunderstanding.
“·······Ha, yes. What is it?”
Of course, there are many times when that honesty is a downside, but if you think about it, most of it seems to have been a bad result! Despite the poor treatment, which was not befitting the royal family, Firen said without showing any signs of being offended.
“hahahaha, no big deal. I just want to fellowship with the hero…”
“Go.”
“Yes?”
“Delicious. Bring it in, think about it, I’ll see.”
However, even Whiren’s knocks couldn’t penetrate the iron walls of the cream. She says she has at least her discernment and patience and she doesn’t draw her sword at this point, but in other words, she’s there.
“I understand. Next time, bring something in your hand.”
In the first place, Allud wanted only for Cream to attend the banquet, and he did not even want to have a friendly chat with the nobles around him. No, she didn’t even dare to ask.
In fact, just having Cream here is enough. The fact that a hero who did not show any political moves attended the banquet hosted by Alud, that alone had a lot of significance.
The air in the banquet hall was changing right away. More and more people sneakily approach Alud, and Relan’s greetings are not properly encouraged.
In addition, Alud sneakily brags about the Heilhender. If this atmosphere continues, Alud’s victory is certain. Yes, unless something happens.
“To be clear, I have nothing to do with this?”
Cream suddenly met Whiren’s eyes. He had been staring at the cream for some time now, and sparks flew from time to time in his golden eyes.
The discomfort of the cream reaches me. The moment she tries to pressure me by shooting her momentum at Whiren.
“It’s a raid!”
No, again?
As the soldiers jumped in and shouted, a corner of the wall collapsed and a shockwave swept across the banquet hall. People were upset, and tables in the banquet hall were overturned.
Among them, there was a dessert table that Cream had been eyeing. Of course, Cream was focusing her mind on her fireen, so her tea and a cake that she couldn’t react properly stuck to her.
“······· Ha.”
[Angry!]
Cream brushed away the clingy cake. Oddly enough, there were no marks or traces of any kind on the spot where the cake had been stuck a moment ago.
But the whipped cream cake clinging to her floor was enough to make her feel worse. Cream drew her holy sword in a calm and reverent manner.
It was almost the same time that the masked people rushed in through the collapsed wall and the current sent out from the holy sword Cream held high in the sky.
“Kwaaah!”
“Be careful, this opponent is formidable!”
Assuming that these attackers were not members of the Dark Church, instead of suddenly driving this banquet hall into the other world, they threw a smoke screen and rushed in. Of course, that much could not cover the hero’s senses.
The acrid pain mixed with the smoke, the screams of customers in panic. Even in that complicated situation, Cream accurately distinguished the breathless footsteps of the assailants and sprayed lightning.
“Kyaaah!”
“Honey!”
Hmm, well, it seems like there are at least one or two misfires, but… Since the purpose was suppression in the first place, the power would be quite good. Maybe. Or you can’t help it
In the first place, although these raiders were quite resourceful, they were no match for the Dark Church. After countless people fell, one finally reached the front of Cream.
I wear a mask, but my pointy ears are not covered. The fairy, who approached swiftly, hesitated for a moment when she saw Cream, then took out a whistle and blew it on his chest.
“It’s a retreat signal!”
“Still, you have to secure your target!”
I sense a disturbing sign that some of the survivors are approaching Alud. How to get no compensation if the client disappears, the moment Cream reverses and sprays the sword.
The fairy really recklessly jumped at the holy sword. Although he wore a simple cloth armor, he was bare in front of the holy sword. The moment the white blade was about to tear apart the fairy’s body without mercy.
“Oh?”
Cream groaned in embarrassment. However, just before her sword cut her fairy, a transcendent force called fate, or cause and effect, crooked the tip of her sword.
With the sound of something breaking, the necklace hanging from the fairy’s neck fell. It was a very short break, but it earned enough time.
[No!]
Give me my money! The moment the remnants of the assailants subdued Alud, the fairy swiftly approached them. As if waiting for the fairy to come, the rest of the party immediately took out a branch from the World Tree and broke it.
The harbinger of spatial movement. Cream hurriedly sent out a bolt of lightning, but there was no trace of it at the spot where the lightning exploded. She wasn’t strong enough to blow everything up.
This escaped. Well, no matter how heroic he is, he has no ability for space. By the way, accidents happen here without missing a single day… I clicked my tongue as I looked at the messy banquet hall.
[By the way, the person who will receive the money has carried it, so what should I do?]
[Is that the only thing that comes to your mind when you see this scene?]
The fallen soldiers seen through the collapsed wall, and the cowards who assert their authority in the banquet hall. I looked at the scenery again and tilted my head.
[Is something wrong?]
[······Ha, hero. What if we go and treat the injured? You can ask for a bigger pay later.]
*
Although it was an obvious trick, Cream nodded in agreement.
So we were on our way back to the tower after roughly treating the patients in and around the banquet hall. Catch up? The higher ups will figure it out.
Still, I’m a little puzzled. Where are these raiders from? The discipline was too strict to be considered an evil organization, and even the fairy who faced Cream possessed pure divine power.
[What is it, why are you like this again?]
I was so lost in thought. When we arrived, the tower we took ownership of was also a mess.
The fragrant smell of blood or the corpses roughly piled up at the entrance of the tower are somehow uniquely decorated, but what are the holes all over the tower!
“Ah, master. I’m here?”
Choco, who was sitting on the threshold, smiled brightly and waved her hand. Of course, as if she had just gone through a fierce battle, her whole body was covered in blood.
“What, work?”
“I don’t know. All of a sudden, strange men came and I just knocked them down.”
Are you even talking about Yang Dong aiming for Jaja Castle and the Tower? However, it was their misfortune that there were monsters who were at odds with each other.
“Compared to the kids I met last time, my strength was weaker than I thought, so I guess I made a mistake in controlling my strength? That’s why the tower is broken a little… Aha.”
Isn’t it too harsh to compare demons who are completely immune to physical attacks with mortals on the ground? Looking at the bloody corpses, it was clear that Choco’s hands were cruel.
“Come here.”

“My husband, I was wrong.”
Cream punished Choco by pinching her cheeks as she confessed her sins openly. While Choco rubbed her tingly cheeks, Cream, who had been staring at her corpse, pulled something out of her arms.
Using the divine power of the moon, he properly washed away the flesh and blood, and within a short while, it showed its full appearance. The emblem of the golden cross.
Come to think of it, haven’t you seen something similar recently?
