The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 194

194 – 187.Belated Vacation-3

Amid the scorching sunlight, a man and a woman were walking side by side.

While the rest of the party played in a trance on the beach, Vern and Hades were looking around the city.

‘It reminds me of the old days.’

A port town filled with the smell of fish and seagulls chirping loudly.

It was a familiar place for a young man who often went to the fish market when he was young.

I felt uncomfortable walking around such a place with a cute girl.

Berne once again felt a sense of incongruity in that the identity of the girl was Demi Richie.

“The weather is hot, but is it okay to walk around dressed like that?”

“It’s okay. I do not feel the heat nor the cold. And my broadcast outfit is almost the same as now.”

“Ah… Indeed, it is.”

Hades’s daily clothes were just a hoodie and a pair of underwear.

Now, she was wearing a see-through cardigan with a bikini top and hot pants.

In terms of exposure, it was more in everyday clothes, but Gira Verne, whose swimsuit accentuated her slim figure, tried to avoid her gaze.

Even if it wasn’t so, the hot weather added to the hot outfit, so it was inevitable that the young man’s face would become hot in the middle of the day.

“By the way, the reason you want to tour the city in advance is for publicity, right?”

“Yes. If you clumsily praise the city, locals and tourists alike will be dissatisfied. I think it’s better to summarize the distinct strengths of this city and convey it to the fans if you’re promoting it.”

“Very professional. I think it’s good to see you like that.”

“hehehehe! As I tried every time to attract people’s attention, I ended up being serious about the broadcast before I knew it.”

As if embarrassed by Vern’s praise, Hades scratched his cheek.

Although she had never been thanked, she had never been praised, so she seemed genuinely happy.

‘It must have been such a pleasure to be acknowledged by the lord.’

During the days of the Demon Lord’s Army, Hades made a great contribution as a Demon Lord’s Army with meticulous and cunning methods.

However, despite her efforts, no one praised her hard work.

Hades himself hadn’t been particularly eager for praise from her, but he couldn’t erase the feeling of emptiness in her heart.

In time, brought to her knees by Vern, she pledged her absolute allegiance to her victor.

She just got to work for Bern, not the Demon King. Her daily life, where she worked hard, did not change.

Nevertheless, there was a different difference from when she worked as the Demon King’s army, and that was her recognition from her lord.

‘It’s such a luxurious time that it wouldn’t be strange to attain Buddhahood right away.”

To spend a friendly time while strolling with the lord you love.

When she was in the Demon King’s Army, it was something she couldn’t even imagine.

That much Hades hoped that even if her current time would not stop, she would flow slowly.

“You seem to have looked around the outskirts, but is there a place you would like to visit in particular?”

“Oh, according to rumors, this town is famous for sardine pie. How about it?”

“Ugh! No matter how famous it is, I will decline the sardine pie. I don’t like food that smells fishy.”

“Is it because of the fishy smell? Then, if it’s sardines with mint sauce, there won’t be a problem with the fishy smell…….”

“Have all the people in this village lost their sense of taste?”

Vern shook his head in fright.

He was an idiot who would have shouted and shouted a sutra even if the Minchopa heard it, so he resolutely refused.

Berne demanded a tourist attraction other than a restaurant by the food that disappears just by imagining it.

“Then, how about Max’s doll studio?”

“A doll workshop?”

“Yes. It is said that a famous family of puppeteers, who have been going on for 5 generations, live in this city with a shop. Among the masterpieces of the clan, there are even dolls with life in them, so it wouldn’t hurt to take a look.”

“I’m a bit curious about that because the doll has life.”

“Then let me guide you there!”

Hades stepped forward, humming his song.

It was a melody I had never heard before, but the rhythmic sense was colorful and addictive, making listeners happy.

Berne, who was watching the scene, asked Hades a question.

“Do you sing songs during the broadcast?”

“Yes? Haven’t you ever seen my broadcast, lord?”

“Sorry. I was so busy doing this and that that I didn’t have time to watch your broadcast.”

“There is no need to apologize. I know best that my lord is always busy.”

“Huh? How do you know that?”

“Oh… !”

My hobby is to record the dignified appearance of Bern through the crystal ball whenever I am resting.

Unable to reveal this fact, Hades began to panic, dyeing his face red.

Not wanting to be perceived as a subordinate spying on her lord, she evaded her words as much as possible.

“Every time I send a messenger, I guessed from the fact that the location of the messenger changes! There must be a reason why you are wandering here and there! I expected it to be that busy, but was my guess wrong?”

“No, I guess.”

Bern has taken an eventful journey from the Pelex Academy to the port city.

Judging by the distance she traveled, it wouldn’t be strange if others were already exhausted from exhaustion.

Although she moved quickly with the help of a carriage or René, she could not ignore the fatigue of her travels.

That’s why Hades’ words couldn’t be seen as sophistry.

“Anyway, the topic has leaked elsewhere, so I’m asking again. Are you singing on the air?”

“Yes. Most people said they liked my voice and asked to hear my songs. So I started to sing my own songs by referring to the songs of famous bards. The song I just hummed for a while is also a song I made myself.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

Hades is a multi-talented beauty with a sense of broadcasting and singing skills.

Seeing her overwhelming talent, Verne realized that her nature was for broadcasting.

‘A lich exists to broadcast, not to pursue the ultimate in magic… ….’

In Bern’s mind, the idea that the other world was wrong in many ways came to mind.

In the meantime, the two arrived in front of Max’s doll workshop, which was their destination.

“What? It’s not open time yet.”

“Sorry for making you go wrong!!”

As soon as he saw the tightly closed shop door, Hades immediately prostrated himself.

The eyes of the people around her gathered when she saw the girl beating her head on the ground and apologizing.

The surroundings quickly became cluttered. Generally speaking, if a girl has done anything wrong, is she apologetic enough to fall to the ground?

The word that the man who asked for an apology was trash came and went, making Vern uncomfortable.

At the time when uncomfortable gazes came and went, I couldn’t stand it and tried to get out of my place.

The door to the doll studio opened, and Max Able, the owner of the studio with a bulging stomach, walked out.

“Why is it so noisy!”

“Ah….”

Able saw Bern, who didn’t know what to do with Hades, who sinned against plaster.

He clicked his tongue and frowned.

“Hey, if you’re going to fight for love, don’t do it in front of our store, go somewhere else…….Hmm?”

While he was yelling at Bern for being a nuisance, Able cut him off.

Hades’ perception-decreasing magic circle disappeared as he slammed his face on the floor.

Observing her face carefully, Abel muted her voice and spoke softly.

“Two people there, come into my store.”

Leaving a short comment, he quietly returned to the workshop.

The two of them reacted in bewilderment to the sudden invitation.

However, the original purpose was to visit a doll workshop, so the two entered the store with awkward steps.

As soon as they entered, the mellow smell of wood greeted them.

Able was brewing tea leaves on the only table in the store.

“The store over there is still open, so why did you invite us to the workshop?”

“Isn’t the woman standing next to you a human?”

Bern and Hades widen their eyes at Able’s unexpected bomb remarks.

Especially, hostility was revealed in Hades’ eyes.

Nevertheless, Able didn’t care at all and continued his words.

“There is no need to deny it. I’ve been working on this floor for over 40 years. That’s how much I know that the entire body of the woman there is an artifact.”

“…… Yes, so what are you going to do? Are you going to report it to the town guard?”

“No! An existence that will inspire me has appeared in front of me, but why are you reporting it? Besides, there is nothing more foolish than reporting it now when you do not know what kind of punishment you will face if you do such a thing.”

Chuckles! Able was delighted with a hearty laugh.

Even though he said he wasn’t human, he laughed out loud and looked like a madman.

Even though it wouldn’t be strange for a normal person to break a window and run away right away.

“The quality is good, but the material is sloppy.”

“Yes?”

“I mean the artificial skin that woman is wearing right now! The surface is perfect, but there is no practicality at all, so it is nothing more than pretty trash!”

“That’s unpleasant. You must have been prepared to face death for someone who was nothing more than a puppeteer and someone who belittled my work, right?”

The appearance of Hades was his masterpiece, created with great care.

Because Able, who belittled it, couldn’t avoid Lich’s wrath, Vern intervened and tried to mediate the fight.

However, Hades jumped ahead in anger, and Able took a sip of his tea and then asked a question.

“What do you do if you are pretty? That body cannot contain life! After all, I am a doll maker who made my own dolls and made our cute daughter born! Are you able to do that?”

“What?!”

“I am asking if it is possible to conceive a new life with the body you created!”

“I-I… !”

Hades glanced at Bern, but soon turned his head and glared at Able.

I suddenly knelt on the floor.

“I want to have a body that can give birth to children too! Please accept me as your disciple!”

The thought circuit of Bern, who was watching this situation from behind, had long since stopped.
