Champion Advent – 3
Offense thinks of me as a more heroic person than Kayle.
I worked hard to crack down on the corners of my mouth going up.
Then Offense opened his mouth.
“But I can’t go to the party right now.”
Neryl frowned.
“How do you come to that conclusion in the flow of conversation now?”
“To be precise, your leaders will not agree.”
“yes?”
“It seems that I have the upper hand with this kind of fine hair. How is it, Maid? Am I right?”
Is it really an offense?
I said with admiration.
“If the offense doesn’t go back, Cald will be more wary of me. Because they think the offense has been subsumed.”
“By the way?”
“Then he will decide that further reconnaissance is meaningless and will try to exercise his skills. That means he will come to see me.”
“It’s better. At this point, you can make a life-and-death decision with him. If you can’t, I’ll kill you.”
I shook my head.
Then he put his hands together and spoke calmly.
“If I kill him, the reputation he has built up until now will have a bad effect on me.”
Then Trail exclaimed in admiration.
[Kyaa. Were you even thinking there?]
I nodded and opened my mouth.
“To the people of the south of the continent, Kayle is an unquestioned hero. But from their point of view, what would happen if a guy named Maid, whom they had never heard of, killed Kayle?”
“…you will hate it.”
“It’s not that I hate it. You will completely turn your back on me.”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Me and Kyle are at odds with each other, but they share one common goal.-On the continent, the one and only, to gain an unprecedented reputation.
It is useless to level only the north.
Someday I must make my name known in the South as well.
If you deal with the hero Caled, that action will be stopped from the start.
Suddenly, Neryl asked.
“Isn’t that the same for Kyle? If I kill you, all the northerners of the continent will turn their backs on him.”
“uh. But there’s still a big gap between me and his reputation. From his point of view, even if he temporarily loses the North’s popularity, he can gradually recover it later.”
So it would be a good move for him.
I’m not at that level yet.
“In other words, I only encounter Kyle when possible, when my fame overwhelms his. Or maybe it’s at an equal level.”
“Ugh.”
“That’s why we need to send the offense back nicely now.”
Offense grinned.
“Well, I didn’t think so deeply. But I just thought it wasn’t the time for Maid and Kyle to collide.”
“Well.”
“therefore? What should I do specifically?”
“Go back to Cald. Go tell me that Maid was nothing. In a way that narrowly prevented the war, but it did not make a huge impression on the people of the territory.”
“Would he be convinced by such an explanation? Do you think you’ll suspect that I’m converted?”
“We must prepare the device without any doubt.”
Actually, I had something in mind.
Kayle is a prudent person, but his prudence has its weaknesses.
He doubts many times more than others, but that’s why he tends to trust his judgment too much once his doubts are cleared.
“Go and report that you overheard our conversation. The topic of the conversation is the sword of the warrior.”
“What?”
“A warrior’s sword. It must be kept in the tomb of the fourth hero, Padania Brook, right?”
“……”
“The report is as follows. Maid was like that. If I want to become a hero, I must have a warrior’s sword, which is really difficult for me in the tomb of Padania. The tomb is to the south, so Cale will get in the way… and so on.”
“I don’t even understand what you mean. You mean you can really deceive Kayle with that report?”
Of course.
In order for a hero to be recognized as a hero, that is, in order to gain an unprecedented reputation in the trail’s terms, several events were required.
The biggest of them, needless to say, is the trust.
It’s not as good as the oracle, but one of the core is the warrior’s sword.
The sword of the hero was used by the four warriors in the past to defeat the demon king, and it was customary to keep it together in the tomb of the last warrior.
Of course, Kayld also thought that he must have taken it from the tomb of the fourth warrior, Padania Brook.
‘However……’
I recalled the conversation before the return.
It happened one night before the return.
I was about to sleep in my room at the inn where I stayed during the quest.
smart.
I could tell who was visiting by the sound of footsteps outside the door before I even heard the knock.
“I am sleeping. Kyle.”
“If that’s the case, then you’re making some bizarre sleep talk.”
“What is going on this midnight?”
Our hero, Nari Kayle, has come to visit me.
“Can’t we open the door first?”
“……”
I opened the door with a light sigh.
He graciously entered my room and opened his mouth.
“Tomorrow is a holiday with no special schedule, so to speak. So let’s chat until late tonight.”
“Fall off. With other guys besides me.”
“no. It’s been a while since you joined the party, but the conversations I had with you were always watermelon. Let’s talk a little more serious today.”
He was dull and sat on a chair.
I scratched my head and sighed.
“What if it’s serious?”
“For example, how about sharing a secret with each other?”
“ok?”
“Because you don’t seem to believe me at all.”
“Didn’t you do that the first day I became a party member? Let’s bury each other’s past.”
That’s why I can’t even ask who Bion Kunze is.
Kyle shook his head.
“I am not trying to dig into an overly deep secret. But if you go on like this, I think you’ll get in the way of the party’s unity.”
“Be direct.”
“I think you would prefer it. don’t worry. I’m not talking about kicking you out of the party.”
He gently sat down next to me.
“Whatever you think of me, I appreciate your skills. He must be next to me among our party members.”
“Don’t you think I’ll be stronger than you?”
“That’s too arrogant.”
“Fuch. Ok, fine. Let’s tell each other a secret. First, tell me.”
Kyle smiled softly and opened his mouth.
“Actually, what do you call this a secret? It’s a fact I found out during a quest with other party members before you joined. Everyone else will know.”
“I haven’t heard anything.”
“Because it’s too bad that you don’t trust your colleagues. There’s no way I can talk to a guy like that in a friendly way.”
Well. Logically perfect.
I can’t quite resist
Kayle said.
“Anyway, will you admit that even this secret is a secret?”
“okay. I’ll admit it, so tell me.”
“This is not a warrior’s sword.”
He struck his sword with an insignificant stroke.
I opened my mouth for a moment.
“What, what?”
“Before you came in, there was a quest asking you to get the warrior’s sword from the tomb of Padania. We completed the quest safely, but soon found out. This is not a real warrior’s sword.”
“What are you talking about. It is the continent’s custom to place the sword in the grave of the last warrior…”
“But it wasn’t. I really want to know what happened.”
“……”
“So, I’m going to set out to find the sword of a real hero soon. At that time, you also had to participate, so I said this as an excuse to tell you a secret. Would this be enough?”
A moment of silence passed.
I stared intently into Kyle’s innocent-looking eyes.
A flashing nib has arrived.
Kayle said.
“Now, tell me one of your secrets…”
“Wait a minute before that. I don’t think I just knew your bigger secret.”
“Well?”
“One of the great conditions for becoming a hero is the warrior’s sword. You said it was fake, and you had no tension at all.”
“……”
“And when I said that I was going out to find the sword of a real hero someday, I had a strange conviction. ‘I knew from the beginning that the sword of the grave was a fake. And I know the location of the real sword.’ I feel like saying that.”
Kyle’s expression hardened.
I leaned back on the chair and continued.
“Do you have any abilities that other people don’t know about?”
“……”
“For example, is the ‘path to becoming a hero’ visible?”
Hey, This hue. hmm read rental boyfriend and ov if u not yet did
Moment.A tremendous amount of flesh descended to the point where the hairs all over her body stood up.
Quang.
Suddenly the door opened and people ran in.
These are our warrior party members.
“Mr Kayle. Are you just living?”
“Something. Why are you two like that?”
“Made. I told you to be friendly with Kayle!”
“It’s nothing. I’ll just go ahead and cut it.”
Kayle died in haste and told everyone.
“I’m sorry. It was just a slight difference of opinion.”
“If we disagree twice, I’m going to have a heart attack.”
“haha. I’m really sorry. come back We have more to say.”
Sorry, but this one doesn’t exist.
I got up.
“I must sleep. Everyone get out.”
“……Made. We haven’t finished talking yet.”
“Oh yeah. My secret?”
“……”
“Only you know. In fact, I am.”
I whispered in his ear.
“I have athlete’s foot.”
At that time, the rotting expression on his face made him want to appreciate it over and over again.
[Oh. Did that happen?]
‘Please don’t interfere with other people’s memories.’
[See the way to become a hero. This is very interesting.]
‘It’s not certain yet. Because I skipped it.’
However, considering Caled’s life at that time, it must have been infinitely close to that, even if it wasn’t a complete answer.
‘If you change your point of view, it’s really natural. He killed the real warrior Bion Kunze, deceived everyone on the continent, and pretended to be a hero from start to finish. It’s not possible for the general public.’
[Ummm. It’s no joke.]
Trail’s voice becomes serious.
But I didn’t think so.
‘No worries. I don’t know before the return, but now I have an overwhelming advantage.’
[How can you be so carefree against an enemy who sees the path to becoming a hero?]
‘Yeah, for me… not.’
I stopped talking.
But Trail did exactly what I wanted to say.
[Uh-huh! Yes, I am attached to you. I’m only now realizing my true worth.]
‘Why are you so quick to notice?’
[I’m always quick-witted. Especially the smell of overtime work is amazing.]
‘Is that so?’
but what
That’s right.
‘…I only say it once.’
I scratched my head.
‘I am very grateful to you in many ways.’
[ok?]
‘Thank you. Fuck.’
[Say only one thank you or curse.]
‘Fuck.’
[Thank you.]
I smiled and looked at the offense.
He was still looking at me with eyes asking for an explanation.
“Kaild has a strange ability. He sees the path to becoming a hero. Of course, it’s just a guess.”
“……!”
“I don’t know exactly what to do. But… Actually, if not, can you explain it? Do you think it’s possible for a guy who was previously unknown to be honored as the hero of the South for the first time in a few years?”
“It’s definitely convincing to hear from the hero of the north like that.”
I shrugged.
“Anyway, he should already know that ability. That the sword of the hero in the tomb of Padania is a fake.”
This time everyone seemed to be surprised.
Xenia shouted as she slammed down the quaang table.
“Is that fake? The sword of the hero and the graves of the warriors of the past are key points among the key points that the Empire puts a lot of effort into protecting, right?”
“I don’t even know what happened.”
“Mr. Maid knows a lot, but there are a lot of things he doesn’t know.”
“We are human because we are imperfect by nature.”
“You are suddenly philosophical.”
Xenia, whose excitement had subsided a little, rested her back on the backrest.
said Neryl.
“I see. I know what you are aiming for.”
“yes?”
“Kaled knows that the sword in Padania’s tomb is a fake. But you don’t even dream that it’s fake. …you mean to make him think like this?”
Also, Neryl has a quick head turn.
I nodded and Offense opened his mouth.
“Right. Does that mean that if you find out that the person you once doubted is lower than you, you will be relieved?”
“okay. Kayle is cautious and skeptical, but once he gets his doubts out he won’t pay attention to me for a while. In the meantime, I’m going to go up and down.”
“You know exactly what his personality is. even from this distance.”
“What am I good at?”
I put my hands together and said seriously.
“Offense. Can you do me a favor?”
He shrugged.
“You didn’t tell me what you were good at?”
“You would already know.”
“……”
“Take this.”
I held out a communication bead.
“It is directly connected to us.”
“Huh. You want me to be a spy?”
“Only in a way that Cald won’t find out. There’s no rush.”
“Ugh.”
“I wish I could give you some information about his weaknesses, secrets, or what to do next. If possible……”
It would be nice if you could find out who Bion Kunze is.
I was going to say that, but I decided to quit.
That’s Kayle’s key secret.
The offense couldn’t figure out what I couldn’t figure out either before or after the regression.
I don’t want the offense to become dangerous by overdoing it.
“If possible?”
“not. Just forget it.”
“You make me curious.”
“Forget it. Now, let’s eat together.”
To that, Xenia responded.
She held out the plate she had previously pulled toward her.
“I’ll give it to you because I’m a colleague.”
“Thank you for this.”
“yes. I believe you can see how much trust this expresses.”
Offense tilts his head.
“… Pheasant meat?”
