How a Hero Lives as a Writer

chapter 14



14 – Aucklea’s Spring (2)

Two days have passed since then.

I was working on the third volume as usual, but, unlike usual, Sir Lewis came to see me first.

“What happened?”

“Could you please give me some time?”

It is a more cautious reaction than usual.

What is it?

“Yes. It’s because time is left anyway.”

“… Is that so?”

“The good thing about being a writer is this. Lord Lewis, writer Herschel?”

“No. Because I’m a knight….”

“Should I split the mountain as well?”

“Huh.”

Sir Lewis said he was the same, then he left the room saying he would wait outside.

I put on an appropriately light jacket to go out with Sir Louis.

Since Sir Lewis is not wearing his armor, I suspect he is going to a monastery.

As I left the room, Sir Lewis, who was standing near the wall, approached me.

“Aren’t you going to ask me where I’m going?”

“A monastery, I guess.”

“….”

Even if you don’t look so surprised, you’re aware of that.

I am a writer.

“Why did you do that?”

“What is it? Donation?”

“Yes.”

“In the world I lived in, there was a rule called tithe, and religious people had to donate 10% of their earnings.”

“This is not Ball Bright’s world. And didn’t you say that you were not religious the other day?”

“I do.”

There is no need to make a donation.

In the first place, even on Earth, they were non-religious, so they never paid tithing.

“Ummm… If I had to give a reason, since I am a former warrior, can’t I just think of it as offering food to God?”

“You still became a warrior and then quit. You are very busy.”

A ridiculous expression.

On the other hand, a gentle expression.

Just because I was able to see Sir Louis’ expression, it seems that offering was not a bad choice.

“I don’t know if it’s because they are guests anyway, so everything is covered.”

Because they are treated as VIPs, there is no need to dwell on money.

I am considering spending the remaining 90% of my pocket money moderately and handing it over to Prince Albert later.

A little bit will help run the country.

“Spring has come to Aucklea as well.”

“Yes?”

After that Sir Louis said nothing until he arrived at the abbey.

“I am healthy today too.”

“Yes. Fortunately, the.”

Still, when I found the children playing in the monastery, I returned to my usual Sir Louis.

But the number of children is a bit small?

Unlike before, about half of the children were sitting in the shade and reading books.

… Are you reading my novel?

ㅡ Look, you said it floats.

I will. But I didn’t know it would be like this.

As expected, I think I did well by preparing a few more books.

“Ah!”

The children found us.

I’m going to call out to Sir Louis again and hug him.

Thinking of that, I slightly distanced myself from Sir Louis.

“Writer!”

But the children surrounded me, not Sir Louis.

“Huh?”

“Thank you!”

“So when is the next volume coming out?”

“Look for the bride!”

Why should I react to Sir Louis?

Sir Lewis stood a little away from me, with a warm smile on his lips.

No, you have to help me.

“Attention!”

I got the same reaction this time as the last time, but the reaction was a little slow.

“What about Father Simon?”

“””Monastery!”””

You are on the inside.

The spirited guys.

Something the kids aren’t bad either.

ㅡ Are your ratings changing quickly?

A man’s heart is like a reed.

I waved my hand to the children and went with Sir Louis to Father Simon.

“Oh, hero….”

Father Simon’s eyes were wet, as if he had been hit by a tear gas canister.

It reminded me of moist chocolate chip cookies.

“Are you okay?”

“Ah, thank God for guidance.”

The priest made an oblique motion with what is called the holy sign on earth and then began to pray.

The momentum was even hotter than last time.

“Thanks to the hero, I think I can spend this winter warmly.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Why donate so much….”

I’m not sure how much I got, but I think it was a bit resonant by monastic standards.

“Was this helpful?”

“Yes. After all, God is looking down on us.”

If you see even the holy sword at this rate, it will turn from moist chocolate chips to soggy chocolate chips.

“God is not looking down.”

“Yes?”

“Because the priest did not abandon the children even in difficult circumstances, I was drawn to this place by the laughter of the children.”

“That thing….”

“If it wasn’t for the children, Sir Lewis wouldn’t be here. All of these are miracles made by the priest.”

I knelt beside the priest and prayed in the same posture.

Half of it was sincere.

ㅡ The other half?

It’s kind of annoying that you keep looking for God’s agent or something.

I’m just a normal human being, so I want to be treated as a human being.

ㅡ You can become an object of worship if you want to?

Pseudo-religion is extremely hateful.

The priest looked dazed and prayed with me.

And then, “If that is God’s will….” He said, and began to treat me with the same feeling as before.

“Do children enjoy reading?”

“Yes. It’s to the point where we fight because we want to see each other first.”

“Oops… Shall we send the number of people next time?”

“No! Books are not that cheap.”

The priest said he couldn’t take it anymore, and he expressed his intention to reject it with his whole body.

There’s nothing you can do about it.

“Volume 2 will be released soon, so please ask the children to wait a little longer.”

“Yes, thank you.”

The priest prayed even more fervently for God’s blessings to be with me.

That’s why, for some reason, my heart felt warmer.

“I heard from Jason. They say Lord Bright is older than me.”

“Yes, it is.”

I am 27 years old in Korean age and 25 years old in Manwan.

He’s far more mature than Sir Louis, who is only 21 years old.

“You don’t look that way, but you’re older than me.”

Don’t smile so brightly.

I don’t think adults will have bad feelings for children.

“In the world I lived in, there was a saying, ‘You have to look closely to be beautiful.'”

“It’s pretty when you look closely…. Yeah, sounds like you’re talking about Bright Ball. The more I get to know you, the more I feel like I see a new side of me.”

“There is a saying that you have to look at it for a long time to love it.”

“Lovely… I’m not sure.”

It’s not a word suitable for a man.

“So are you.”

“Yes?”

“All together, it is one poem. It’s pretty if you look closely. Lovely to see for a long time So are you.”

“Uh, that, um.”

“There is a story that Sir Lewis is a stern and fearsome knight, but that is not necessarily the case with me.”

“Well, what….”

“Well, that’s right.”

It’s a bit embarrassing to say more than that.

ㅡ Are you surprisingly a player?

I was good at soccer.

ㅡ A guy like a snail.

I felt a little lighter than usual.

For some reason, my body felt full of energy.

And then I realized that it was not an illusion.

“… Have you ever acted?”

“Huh?”

The day after Sir Louis’ visit to the monastery.

It’s only been a day, but I didn’t get tired even though I went around the parade ground as usual.

On the contrary, it felt like I was jogging happily.

“It wasn’t acting.”

“I know. So it’s amazing.”

Unexpectedly, he may have talent in combat.

Sir Louis said that and squeezed me even harder than usual.

A terrible person….

After one round of training, I decided to talk to Prince Albert, who had time to spare.

“Umm, I heard rumors….”

Prince Albert was aware that a movement of aristocrats had arisen in order to transcribe my novel.

“Isn’t Oklia’s food, clothing and shelter a little less than other countries?”

“I guess so. This is a country that has become independent because it is annoying.”

Ochlea is said to be an independent country from the nearby kingdom.

The reason is that it is more economically beneficial to have Aucklia independent than to have it.

Thanks to this, it has become one of the countries that manages events to summon warriors by meeting the country’s requirements.

I was quite upset that I had to consume the expensive Moonlight Stone, but since I was summoned, this is also the guidance of the sky or something.

“Because in the world I lived in, there is a book called Travels to the East.”

“Hmm?”

“This is a novel that made people who read it go on an adventure to the other side of the world.”

Just as the organization called Intrus warned me, such power is contained in text.

If I give a plausible impression to the scribes who are coming to Aucklia this time, they might get a good response.

“For example, special products?”

“Special products….”

I set the background of ‘Oh My Lady’ in Aucklia.

There was a reason for this, and the representative reason was to instill familiarity.

It is difficult to read a book if there are many proper nouns that I do not know even after I have turned the first page of the book.

Readers who don’t like superpower battles will probably easily sympathize with this part as well.

I decided to borrow a familiar name to reduce readers’ fatigue as much as possible.

And that was a situation that could create synergy in this situation.

There are those who want to copy even the typos in the book, so they hire a scribe.

The slightest push on the backs of such beings makes you want to visit the country that is the setting of my novel.

Cultures are exchanged.

“You are scary.”

“What is it?”

“Are all beings living in the world of Earth like this….”

I just got caught, but you’re misunderstanding it.

But when the water comes in, we have to row.

“The things Romeo and Juliet enjoyed into one product.”

“I’ll have to pay attention to the accommodations too.”

“On the assumption that a noble is coming.”

“Money will circulate in the estate.”

“Keep warm this winter.”

“The soldiers’ arms can be refitted with sturdy ones. There will be fewer casualties.”

“Everyone will eat Nona happily.”

“Yes. I will be busy for a while.”

Prince Albert rose from his seat feeling more alive than usual.

“I believe that you came to this country as a result of God’s guidance. Spring has come to Aucklea too.”

After Prince Albert said that, he disappeared like the wind.

Trying to get up from his seat with something proud, his heart felt even warmer.

And for some reason, I felt that my body had become lighter.

I was tired from rolling pretty rough in the morning, but that fatigue had completely disappeared.

Something happened when you reached this level.

I summoned the Holy Sword just in case.

Then, a holy sword overflowing with holy energy that was incomparable to that of before greeted me.

I hurriedly returned to my room and carefully checked the holy sword again.

As expected, the feeling of energy is unusual.

“Is this the hero’s task?”

ㅡ Well?

I gained strength because I did something.

I looked back over the past few days and groped for what I had been doing.

“… Preceding?”

I think my strength builds up when I do something that others would call a good deed.

Books and money donated to the monastery.

A story about a scribe from abroad who was mentioned to Prince Albert.

All of those things were my intentions, but in the end, they were helpful to others.

Is that why this power was created?

I turned the key, thinking of the cradle of stars.

Then the scenery around me changed, and I was greeted by a library lined with huge bookshelves.

“Long time no see?”

“… What can I do with this power?”

“Check that yourself.”

Miss Helena said that and waved her hand once.

Then the book stuck in the bookshelf flew toward me.

“Are you saying I can look at this?”

“Yes.”

I carefully opened the book and could not help but open my eyes to its contents.
