37 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Despair (2)
A warrior party originally consisted of 4 people, and it was basically a rule for a warrior party to go together, but that wasn’t necessarily the case.
If they had to, they would split and move, and that’s why Chloe and Artemia. And Xerath and Amira went separately.
We went separately for unavoidable reasons, but well, it was time to get back together.
“I hope Amira and Xerath get along.”
The road to the Empire after everything is over in the west.
There, the hero, Chloe, and the hero’s party knight, Artemia, rode a carriage and were moving.
I will be arriving in the Empire soon. Artemia is looking forward to seeing her colleagues after a long time.
And at the same time, I couldn’t help but have doubts.
“Why did you do that to Chloe anyway?”
“Huh? What?”
“Why did you lie to Xerath? What is the purpose?”
Artemia basically knew that Chloe liked Xerath.
Moreover, I knew that she purposely kept Xerath from self-objectification.
Since Artemia was also a warrior party, she knew that much, but there were many things she didn’t know.
“In the first place, you like Xerath. So it’s okay to date without having to lie like that?”
But why did Chloe lie to Xerath? She didn’t know why.
Anyway, Chloe likes Xerath, and Xerath probably likes Chloe quite a bit.
I feel like I have to lie like that in such a situation.
“If you confess, will Xerath accept it? Or will Xerath confess to you if you push him just a little bit?”
Isn’t it just enough for two people who like each other to date? Want.
But she wondered why she was going round and round doing useless things.
She asked Chloe about the reason.
“Heh. He doesn’t know what.”
To Artemia’s question, Chloe answered with a smile.
“Listen carefully, Artemia. I don’t know since you’ve never been in a relationship, but just because you like each other doesn’t mean it’s the end. If you get married later, then A and B are decided.”
What Chloe wanted was the initiative in her relationship.
Even if they said they liked each other, their relationship didn’t end there.
If you marry at 20 and live until 80, shouldn’t you live together for another 60 years?
Of course, it was necessary to do the ground work in advance for the remaining 60 years.
In the end, that was what Chloe wanted.
To make sure she takes the lead in her love affair with a man named Geras.
That’s why he was bothering to lie to him and undermined his self-esteem.
“It would be nice to date Artemia too. I mean.”
Chloe has accumulated a lot of knowledge about dating.
Since she was young, she decided to marry Xerath, and from the beginning she prepared her way how she could have a happy married life with Xerath. Would have been able to build
This was the idea of Chloe, who had been dating for 20 years.
“Hmm… I don’t have to…”
Of course, Artemia still couldn’t understand Chloe’s words.
Chloe said she did because she had never been in a relationship before, and she actually said that she didn’t date herself, so I don’t know if she didn’t sympathize with Chloe’s words, but she just did. Didn’t go very far
If you like each other, shouldn’t you just go out without hesitation? After all, it was Artemia who thought that was the most appropriate.
“I really don’t understand.”
Also, I wonder if a woman of Chloe’s level should do that.
Of course, Lars is also quite attractive and a proud man, but she was a really attractive and pretty woman in addition to her warrior status in Chloe.
But I really don’t understand why he wants to do such a thing out of regret.
“Well, anyway, I’ll support you. It’s useless to say anything to the guy who says he’s getting married to Xerath from now on.”
But, Artemia thought it was just a difference in her values, and she passed it on simply.
She knows that Chloe loves Xeras more than anyone else anyway, and she even intends to marry him, but she can’t see Chloe as being bad.
Anyway, he was in the position of a third party. She thinks that, as long as Chloe made up her mind, Xeras and Chloe will be married sooner or later. As a colleague in the warrior’s party, the best attitude would be to just bless the two of them.
“hehehe… Thank you.”
At Artemia’s attitude, Chloe smiled and thanked her.
Anyway, good is good.
“And, well, I’m not going to do this either. I’m going to get married soon.”
Also, Chloe has missed Xerath a lot since she has been away from him for the past six months.
She is Chloe, a childhood friend of him. In fact, she has rarely been apart from him.
Since Xerath has been by Chloe’s side since she was a child in the neighborhood, when she attended magic academy, and even after that.
It was the first time we had been apart like this, and seeing that we were apart like this, I was full of desire to quickly achieve love.
Now is probably the time to stop bothering with gaslighting or whatever.
When she returned, she intended to make love with Xerath. While expecting that, Chloe’s expression once again became full of fuss.
“But Chloe, what are you going to do if you miss Xerath? Haven’t you been away from the Empire for six months now? What if Xerath…”
Seeing Chloe like that, Artemia thought it was fortunate, but she had no choice but to ask Chloe, as if Artemia was missing something.
In the first place, when I went to the west of the empire like this, the expected time was one month.
I didn’t think the battle with the Demon King’s army would last this long, and in the end, six months had to pass.
Those six months could not be said to be that long, but it was definitely such a time that could never be called short.
If during that time Xerath gets married to another woman or something like that happens…?
As if worried about what would happen, Artemia asked Chloe a question…
“Hmm… Sure the battle took a lot longer than expected…”
Chloe spoke as if thinking deeply about Artemia’s words.
Surely, it was really unexpected to fight the demon king army in the west of the empire for six months.
Originally, it would have been enough time to return to the empire.
“Ah. Well, it’s only been 6 months. How is it?”
But I wasn’t too worried or anything like that.
Because Chloe had her own confidence.
“It’s only been six months. Me and Xerath have been together for twenty years.”
Until this point, the time he spent with Xerath was never light.
For 20 years, Chloe has been by Xerath’s side and has been kind to him.
In addition, during those 20 years, I had blocked all contact with other women.
There were many women who tried to look good for Xerath, but they couldn’t even approach Xerath because Chloe was there.
“It could never happen.”
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Xerath in just six months.
This was certain, and Chloe wasn’t worried about it at all.
It was clear to him that that would never happen to the Xerath he knew.
“And even so, Xerath will marry me.”
Besides, there’s an attractive childhood friend named Chloe standing tall, and she couldn’t possibly have another girl catch her eye?
In the first place, it could be seen that the starting line itself was different.
If the other woman is nothing more than a racing dog, then she may consider herself a cheetah.
Chloe was confident that she could catch up with a racing dog at any time, even if she had a little bit of leeway.
“Yes. If you are, then what?”
Artemia listened to Chloe’s answer.
If she said that, she would have no choice but to nod her head.
Certainly, Chloe’s words made sense.
‘Xerath doesn’t seem to be very interested in women.’
Artemia also knows what kind of character Xerath is, the wizard of the warrior party.
Even though there were three attractive women in the warrior’s party, he didn’t particularly care about women.
He was a man who silently only did his own thing. There’s no way that Xerath will be with someone like that.
‘Hmm…’
But why do I feel uneasy…?
First of all, Xerath’s lack of interest in women was a story when there were no women courting him.
Thanks to Chloe, such women were fundamentally blocked, so there were no such women around Xerath.

But, if there is a woman who actively woos Xerath.
How much more so when she is attractive enough.
Can you be sure that Xerath won’t marry her?
Of course, Artemia knows that Chloe is a cheetah.
She didn’t know that she was passionate enough about Xerath that she could easily capture Xerath’s heart if she put her heart to it.
In the first place, the race itself is not established in the race with Chloe.
But, in fact, what happens when the race is already over?
Without giving Chloe time or opportunity to run, what if the race was over…?
How does it work?
‘Are you thinking too badly about me?’
Of course she had a long story about possibilities.
Even for Chloe’s sake, she shouldn’t have that kind of heart.
But, why do I keep feeling insecure on the other side of my heart?
“Now… An empire.”
“I want to see Xerath soon.”
Without knowing what this mysterious anxiety was, they headed for the Empire.
