Heroes grow big by fighting – 3
There were familiar faces that appeared.
Ardwin asked, tilting his head.
“brother. What’s wrong?”
“come.”
“What?”
Instead of answering, I looked towards the inn door.
squeaky.
For some reason, the door seemed to open quite slowly.
Four people appeared.
Offense. You still have a unique face.
Our eyes met, but I pretended not to know either you or me.
Serene. You’re still pretending to be cute and cuddly.
How dark you are at the subject of a priest. Anyway, I felt it when I was in Xenia, but even the heavenly gods don’t really have eyes for people.
Ressel. You’re still hiding behind Kayle. Like a chick that follows a mother chicken.
and……
‘Kaled.’
She has her slightly brittle red hair tied back in a braid.
Big eyes on an innocent face.
How many sins have you committed behind that mask that looks like the most kind young man?
I swallowed my saliva and said in a very low voice.
“Don’t turn your head, just listen. Kayle’s party is here.”
“……!”
“The offense must have informed us of our impressions. If you hide it, you’ll be suspicious of Kayle.”
“Yes. Shall I go and say hello first?”
“Hmm. Well.”
At my vague answer, Xenia opened her mouth.
“I would like to watch it for now. It seems they haven’t recognized us yet.”
“I think you will find out soon. Do you use any magic?”
“Mr. Neryl’s mana is so unique that you will notice it very quickly. I would rather.”
“It seems that one little boy over there is a priest. You’re going to get worse.”
Then Ardwin said.
“Then I will hide you with necromancy. There doesn’t seem to be a necromancer over there, so you won’t notice.”
Ardwin casts a spell.
Soon our presence fades.
It’s almost like an elite assassin deliberately hid.
‘It’s amazing to see you again. It was an order I often asked for before returning.’
You can fool the eyes of living creatures just by changing the color of the soul a little.
However.
bum bum.
Ardwin opened his mouth confidently, perhaps not hearing the sound of footsteps reaching us straight away.
“haha. did you see If only I, a friend of the dead, made up my mind…”
“First time meeting you. Maid Mohan.”
“Who are you? I dare say.”
“yes? haha, funny kid My name is Caled Wake. Please.”
Kayle squinted at Ardwin with a refreshing smile.
Ardwin, and both Neryl and Xenia, looked at Kayld, dazed.
Obviously, Ardwin’s necromancy was successful.
But Calde found us exactly as if something had happened.
For me, it was a sight I was tired of seeing before the return, but it must be the first time for others.
Tuuk.
Kayle placed a hand on Ardwin’s head and stroked it.
“Is it necromancy? It’s a great skill at that age.”
“Wow. Maid brother. I’m sorry.”
Ardwin is crying and apologizing to me.
I shook my head and looked up at Caled.
and said bluntly.
“hey.”
“Well?”
“Who wants to put a hand on my comrade’s head?”
“……”
“Get down now. If you don’t want to lose.”
Suddenly the atmosphere became cold.
The first to react was Serene.
She smiled awkwardly and showed her natural affinity.
“Ahaha. there. Shall we have dinner together instead of doing this? There is a large table here, how about if we sit together?”
“……”
“Oh, well. You should first introduce yourself, right? I am Serene. It’s a priest. This ordinary-looking passerby, Mr. 1, is called Offense. This pretty older sister is Lissel. and……”
When it was Kayle’s turn, he cut off Serene and introduced himself.
“I told you my name before, but I’ll introduce you again. Kaleid Wake, you are a hero.”
“under.”
Neryl twists the corners of her lips.
Cale asked with his arms crossed relaxedly.
“May I ask the meaning of that ridicule? A wretched witch.”
“Do you know me?”
“Because I have a rather broad information network. Maid, who is called the hero of the north, is carrying a notorious person like you. I thought it was really funny.”
“……!”
“Maid, I know that advice like this will sound precious when we first met. But I have to say.”
He crossed his legs as he sat on a chair he hadn’t given up.
“I admit it. You must also have some bizarre talent. I’ve heard that Ilshin’s skills are also outstanding.”
“……”
“But when I heard that she was traveling with the Witch of Grief, I was convinced that she wasn’t a real hero.”
Neryl trembles.
“Your reputation will be negative if you are with a woman like this. You are an amateur in many ways.”
you’re funny Even before he returned, he had Neril as a party member.
clink.
At that moment, the glass of water in front of Kayle broke.
It wasn’t really a great magic, because Neril did not hide his life and momentum, but solved it.
“hey. you. Say it again.”
“I have no hobbies of repeating what I heard.”
“……”
“Besides that, isn’t it Xenia Said, who is God’s agent? You are traveling with a witch who needs to be caught right away, smiling hahaha. You know what kind of children’s play to be a hero?”
This time, Xenia’s face hardened terribly.
Cald continued speaking without hesitation.
“Ah, sorry. Apologize.”
“……”
“If I go back and tell my father, I will be in trouble too.”
“you!”
Cald turned his gaze to Ardwin this time.
“Did you properly get parental permission?”
sup.
I slowly clenched my fist and lifted it.
and.
Aww!
hit the table hard.
A sturdy table made of thick wood was perfectly cut in two.
everyone shut their mouths
I said in that silence.
“I choose my colleagues. Neryl, Xenia, and Ardwin. It was the best choice of my life to have them as colleagues.”
“No, Maid.”
“Mr. Maid.”
“brother……”
Everyone looked at me with a surprised expression, as if they had never expected me to say that.
I kept talking to Kyle.
“It’s weird anyway.”
“Well? what?”
“Looking at your past, I thought you were a very cautious person.”
“……”
“Rather than arguing, I thought I would watch the situation first and plan how to prevent my reputation from rising and my name to be elevated.”
At the word fame, Kayle swallows his saliva.
“You know too…”
“However, to provoke like this without doing that.”
“……”
“Right. Did you want to fight me from the beginning?”
This time, Kayle’s eyes widened.
I looked surprised that I had pierced him so accurately.
I said giggling.
“I think he wants to put up a fight and kill me ‘accidentally’ during the fight.”
“What do you say?”
“But the quality of the provocation is too low. Does any of our colleagues fall for that?”
Then, our group secretly averted our gaze.
Kyle put his head close to me.
Then he smiled softly and opened his mouth.
“Do not frame in front of my colleagues. It wasn’t a fight, it was advice. It seems like you don’t understand, so I’ll be more direct.”
“……”
“Don’t dream of a vain dream like a hero, and go home nicely. Because you are a wandering mercenary, if you don’t have a house, I’ll build one for you.”
“……”
“The adventure of me and my colleagues is to kill the Demon King. I didn’t start it to become famous or to enjoy wealth and fame. All of them have their own stories and noble intentions, and they all happened separately.”
I had to struggle quite a bit to hold back the laughter that swelled up.
“A hero, and a hero, should be like this.”
“……”
“If you want to make a name for yourself, that’s fine. Join us and defeat the Demon King. But don’t think about becoming a hero. Now that the crisis of the continent is just around the corner, we will not tolerate such conflicts between mankind.”
oh I couldn’t stand it.
I finally burst out laughing.
“Pu ha ha!”
“Did I say such a funny thing?”
“hey. I was just listening.”
I stopped laughing and continued.
“You are pretty cheeky.”
“……”
“Are you the only hero? Who decided that? Did the oracle even come down without me knowing?”
“……”
“I hate guys like you who deceive people with their three tongues. I still think the provocations from before were of low quality, but let’s deal with them first.”
shudder.
I picked up the sword that was leaning beside me.
Both our party members and the party members over there widened their eyes.
Only Cald was watching me intently.
I got up slowly.
“Let’s stick with one. A self-proclaimed warrior.”
bum bum.
We were moving to find a place for a fight.
Kayle and the others are walking twenty steps ahead of us.
Neril whispered.
“Why did you have to fall for the provocation?”
“There are private and public reasons. What would you like to hear?”
“…from public reasons.”
I shrugged.
“As long as Kayle is conscious of me, there will be no time for me to talk with the party members over there. He will take good care of it.”
“yes. That’s right.”
“But I have someone I want to talk to. Ressel Bint, the heart of this work.”
“……”
“I’m going to get his attention while fighting Kyle, so talk to Rissel then.”
Xenia tilts her head.
“What can I say? You can’t just say it’s a good night.”
“I ask you to come to our inn at midnight tonight.”
“Mr. Maid… Of course, Mr. Maid is a very attractive person.”
“ok?”
“I just can’t come to you with words like that. It looks like you’ve already fallen in love with that guy Kyle. look at this.”
She chinked in front.
Even in the dark, Lissel can be seen trotting right behind Kayle.
I said with a smirk.
“Then add this. I know you are deceiving the party members.”
“……! Is that person cheating on something? It didn’t look like that.”
“It’s just a guess.”
said Jenny.
“Anyway, I know. If Mr. Maid said that, there must be something.”
“thank you.”
Then Ardwin raises his hand.
“brother. So what’s your personal reason?”
“ah. It’s nothing.”
I shrugged.
“That bastard made fun of my co-workers.”
“……!”
“Neril, you never get in my way. If you ever think like that, stop right away.”
“……”
“The same goes for Xenia. You believe in your own eyes and go with Neryl. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with respecting your father.”
“……”
“Adwin, you are obviously young, but you are much more courageous and thoughtful than any other adult.”
I spoke slowly.
“Of course, it was meant to provoke me, but anyway, he spoke harsh words to you on a subject he didn’t know anything about. So, try to give me your soul.”
Everyone’s face turns red.
After a while, Neryl made a barely low voice.
“Did I not tell you? Yeah, I probably didn’t. Why didn’t you? I should have.”
“Wake.”
“I’ll tell you just once.”
“……”
“I consider meeting you as the best luck of my life.”
This time my face seemed to turn red.
Xenia opened her mouth.
“I was going to tell you first.”
“Life is always about timing. little boy.”
“Ugh. Maid, I also met you…”
Then Ardwin intervened as if shouting.
“I think that’s a lot of luck! me too.”
“hey!”
“Life is about timing. Neryl’s sister.”
Quang.
Xenia clasped Ardwin’s head.
what are you doing.
Outside the territory of Tetra, there was a very large site.
It was probably used as a training ground for soldiers, but it has now been relocated.
Chaang.
Cald drew his sword there and turned around.
“Choose you too.”
“What is it?”
I draw my sword and take a pose.
Serene’s murmur was heard from behind.
“everyone. Do not worry too much. Mr. Kayle isn’t a killer. Mr. Offense has something to say.”
“Well. To agree.”
“Wow. No cooperation.”
Neryl replied with a grin.
“We don’t just kill anyone, we know people who never kill.”
“The Sword of Immortality…”
“At first I thought it was a funny penalty, but now I respect and follow that rule.”
“You seem to like it quite a bit. Mr. Maid.”
“uh? what?”
“yes? Why are you pretending not to hear? Ahhhh!”
At that time, Cale gave a soft warning.
“Serine. Don’t talk to them.”
“yes? I just…”
“Get off. Maid, how about asking your colleagues too?”
I shrugged.
“Do you want to be conciliated? I don’t trust the party members.”
“I just want to do my best. You can’t say that you care about your colleagues that much.”
“Maybe it’s just because you feel comfortable.”
“I can’t put it into words. Anyway, tell me to leave. Otherwise, there will be no duel.”
“It’s not that I wasn’t excited because I couldn’t fight. what good?”
It’s as expected anyway.
I blinked at Neryl and others.
Then they quickly distanced themselves from each other.
Caled opened his mouth as he moved far enough to almost the opposite side of the table.
“Don’t yield the players.”
“Oh my gosh. You don’t even know exactly what I’m capable of.”
“Made Mohan. Don’t tell me one thing.”
He raised his sword with a soft smile.
“I don’t lose to anyone.”
“……”
“A hero does not lose.”
……
You were robbed of the Demon King.
