Chapter 19 – Hero, are you narcissistic with only this?
Chapter 19
After feeding her girl her stew, her saintess began to ask her questions.
“Could you tell me your name, age and where you live?”
Suddenly, why is the survey conducted? When I asked, the saintess said as if she was asking why she took it for granted.
“We don’t have to send him back. You can’t even think of that, you’re stupid♡”
“…Ah.”
“Two heads♡”
…Heh heh, damn it. Even though there’s a girl in front of him, he doesn’t hide his true nature. Are you going to leave now?
The girl looked at me and her saintess with her slightly puzzled eyes, then answered her saintess’s question.
“…My name is Chloe. I am sixteen.”
Huh? Are you only one year older than me now?
Looking at it that way, Chloe had a very young appearance. Seeing that she is shorter than the saintess, she must be less than 150.
When a girl is sixteen, isn’t she the age when she has grown to a height?
Um…Ah, that’s it!
Small height, cute youthful appearance, plus small breasts that no one can deny.
Yes, it was a common loli character that must enter the water.
…Was this a prank? How did a writer who used to write dark fantasy do this…
“What were you doing before you turned into a monster?”
“I was attending a wizard academy in the kingdom of Minerva.”
Oh? Looks like a wizard
“Is it public? Or private?”
“It is public. That…is in Athens, the capital of the Minerva Kingdom.”
“Are you a student at the Royal Magic Academy?”
“Yes.”
What is it? Isn’t it a great school if it’s royal?
“Chloe is an elite.”
“No, it’s not like that…And call me Chloe. They’re the ones who saved me…”
“If that’s convenient for you, I’ll call you that. And you think you can be a little more proud? The Royal Magic Academy of the Kingdom of Minerva is a place that other countries want to study. I know the competition is fierce.”
“That’s true, but…I entered through the special screening process for commoners.”
“Still, it’s great.”
The saintess smiled and looked at Chloe.
…Smile like that at me normally.
“Then you are from the kingdom of Minerva, and where did you live?”
“I lived in a dormitory. Although I have a separate hometown, I have been in the dormitory ever since I entered the military academy.”
“This is strange. So, how did you end up swallowing the metamorphic stone? I lived inside the military academy, but there was no way I would have suffered such an incident. “
“…I can’t remember that time either. I think something happened, but I don’t know what it was…”
Did you lose your memory while turning into a monster? I’m not sure.
“I see. The information was good. I will provide this information to the Solaria Church so that Chloe can return to her original place.”
“Thank you so much!”
Chloe expressed her gratitude over and over again.
Anyway, the reason why she kept talking was not because of her own tone, but because she turned into a monster.
…I thought it was a character concept again.
“By the way, are you two a saint and a warrior?”
“Ah…Yes, that’s right. How did you know?”
As for the saint, she wasn’t even wearing priestly clothes, and I was like… How can I tell if she’s a warrior or not from the outside?
“I heard you tell this person that you are a saint…”
Ah, that’s right. It did.
“…And you brought me back from a monster to a human. Because only the saints can perform such miracles.”
“Ah.”
That was it. Anyone with a sword who accompanies the saintess will naturally think of a hero.
“By the way, saintess, how will you take Chloe?”
“I have to stop by the church branch. Based on Chloe’s personal information, the church can take her safely. It is easy to cross the border if you belong to the church.”
“Then you should go to the church branch? Where is the closest one?”
The saintess thought about her for a while and then said.
“Do you remember the city of Lancaster I told you about last time?”
“Yes.”
“Your memory is better than that of a goldfish~♡ In terms of distance, Lancaster must be closest.”
“Thank you very much.”
Sira Lancaster…I wonder what kind of city it is.
“Then are you taking Chloe with you for a while?”
“Yes, it should.”
Nice!!! I’ll be hearing less sh*t for a while.
With a sincere heart, I welcomed the new temporary colleague, Chloe, to accompany me.
“Chloe, take care of me for a while!”
“Ah…Yes! I will be careful not to become a nuisance.”
“You don’t have to worry about lungs or anything like that!”
Just being with you would make me say less sh*t, but what about the lungs? Grace, grace. Rather, it is something I should be grateful for.
But until then I didn’t know. The saintess knows that she is surprisingly not reluctant to reveal her true nature.
#
Leaving the village We said goodbye to Oz and we left Daisy Village.
I should have received the reward for the quest, but I wanted to do it for free since it was the hometown of this body. The saintess didn’t really object to my decision.
“While going all the way to Lancaster City, I will bring monsters and fight like before.”
“…Do that again?”
“You haven’t been able to accept requests for a while. If you want to improve even a little bit of the hero’s foolish skills, you have to constantly sharpen them~♡”
I’m not saying that’s wrong, but it’s because things are a little different. Now you have Chloe.
When I asked if she was okay, the saintess said that there was no problem.
“Isn’t it enough for the hero to hold it straight? Surely the hero is a scumbag who can’t even do that~♡”
It’s like that even though Chloe is there. It seems that if you’ve been seeing a saint for a long time, she doesn’t bother hiding her true nature… f*ck.
“Hero, what are you doing?”
Chloe listened to her saintess and expressed her doubts.
“Ah…You’ll know when you see it. It’s easier to understand when you see it than when you explain it in words.”
“??”
Seeing her bewildered Chloe reminded her of her cousin’s nephew, whom she had cared for before. It’s cute that the little boy looks overlapping.
“…Hero, your gaze is strange. Surely you’re not trying to spread the black witchcraft to Chloe already?”
“What’s wrong with your gaze… You’ll know what kind of pervert I am if you just listen to me.”
“It is true that he is a pervert comparable to him~♡”
Heh heh, b*tch.
After walking for about an hour, the saintess looked towards the forest and said to me.
“Hero, today I’m going to catch a Lizardman~.”
“A Lizardman?”
The lizard man I think is right, right?
“It is a humanoid monster that looks like a lizard. Although it belongs to the lower rank monsters, it belongs to the strongest axis among the lower rank monsters, so you must not be vigilant.”
“I see.”
“But don’t be too scared~♡”
The saintess left her main street and entered the forest. Chloe put on a bewildered expression at her saintess’ behavior, but I, who was already used to it, took her Chloe and followed her saintess.
“Wait here, hero. I’ll be back.”
“…Yes.”
After the saintess left, Chloe and I were left alone in the forest. A slightly awkward air flow flowed. I don’t think it’s awkward how long we’ve met, but it was a problem because we didn’t have anything to say.
“…Are you a saintess of the Solaria Church?”
Thankfully, it was Chloe who spoke to me first. I responded positively to her questions.
“Right. Even if you look at it like that, she’s a saint of the Solaria Church, hee hee.”
What kind of saintess goes around using slang words like f*cking sh*t?
“Actually, I am a follower of the Church of Ludria.”
“Ludria…You mean the goddess of the wind?”
“Yes. My family believes in Goddess Ludria, so I naturally became like that too. But I was saved by the saintess of Solaria… So I’m a little confused. After all, the person who saved me was not Goddess Ludria, but the saintess, the servant of Goddess Solaria.”
“…Well.”
I don’t know much about religious stuff. Because I’m not the type to believe in God. One thing is certain though.
“Whoever Chloe trusts, she doesn’t mind thanking the person who saved her. Even the Goddess wouldn’t say anything about it. She doesn’t think it’s necessary for her to suddenly worry about her beliefs.”
“…Is that so?”
“Yes.”
Are you saying that right? I don’t know much about this religion…
“Kyaaa~♡”
At that time, the saintess was running from afar.
“…What are you bringing?”
The saintess who was running eagerly was dragging her wild boar leg with one hand. She was a wild boar with her blood flowing as if she had just died.
“Hero~! The lizardmen are chasing me and claiming to make me their mother! Please save me~♡”
“Kieek! You mad man! Hurry up and give us our prey!!!”
“If you don’t serve me, I will roast you and eat you, Kiek!!!”
…Why do you keep stealing food from last time? I heard you don’t even touch the dog when you eat.
“Whew.”
I pulled out the holy sword. Seeing this, Chloe looked startled.
Chloe, it’s so light, you don’t have to be surprised…
The saintess ran behind me as usual, and then she hid behind me.
“Hero, even though you are standing like a double body, please drink and use your skills like fleas to defeat the Lizardmen~♡”
“…That’s right. Flea warrior dispatch!”
The saintess giggled when I accepted it playfully.
Are you having fun, b*tch? Is it fun… Uhh.
“Kieek! Human! Quickly give me that wild boar!”
“…Does wild boar meat taste good?”
“You’re asking something obvious! It’s a bit chewy if you just bake it, but it’s very delicious if you cook it properly… Why am I explaining this, Kiek!”
Then I want to eat.
“The boar is mine.”
“Kieek! There are crazy people here too!!”
“I can’t understand the language, Kiek! Kill it and bring it back! Fight, brothers!!”
There were twelve Lizardmen brought by the saintess. There are quite a few
In addition, everyone was holding a spear, so the reach was longer than me with a sword. I’ll have to keep this in mind and go into battle.
“Hero~ If you think you’re going to lose because you’re such an idiot, I’ll take care of it, so don’t worry and fight~♡ It’s okay if you lose~♡”
“…I won’t lose!?”
This b*tch. Make it come
And now, it’s not just the saintess, it’s also Chloe. Chloe will not look at me through the eyes of an ordinary person who looks at a hero.
If you can’t overcome low-level monsters, you’re not worthy of being a hero.
“Kieek! Attack!!”
All the Lizardmen rushed together. Seeing how well they cooperate, it seems that they do it this way even when they usually hunt.
Half of the lizardmen stabbed their spears from all sides. Perhaps it was considered the strongest among low-ranking monsters for no reason, and its speed was much faster than that of a play or a forest wolf.
…But now I can see it.
Knock it off!
“Kieek!? Humans dodged!”
There are things I learned from fighting the trolls. There was no need to aim for the monster’s vitals from the beginning. I learned that cutting off step by step is one of the ways to win.
Suddenly!
Falling backwards, he cut off the hilt of the Lizardman’s spear. The lizardman’s spear is longer than my holy sword, so I’ll get rid of their weapons first.
The six Lizardmen who tried to stab me lost their spear handles. The Lizardmen who lost their spear handles took out their claws and ran amok.
“Kieek!!”
The Lizardmen who lost their weapons had a shorter reach than me. Cutting off such a Lizardman’s paws was not difficult.
Puwak!
Blood gushed high into the sky. The three Lizardmen’s front legs were cut off, and they hurriedly turned to the pincers of the other Lizardmen that followed.
Chaeeng!
The spear pierced his side. However, the blade was blocked by the hard armor, and I was not hurt.
“…Whew.”
If I hadn’t changed my equipment, I might have gotten a big scar on my side.
I swung the holy sword without rest. I cut off the head of the Lizardman who was aiming for my side, and then I slightly moved away from the incoming spear.
“Kieek! This human…!”
…I heard that it belongs to the strongest axis among low-level monsters. Easier than you think?
Is it because I fought the troll the other day? Compared to that time, the attack seemed much slower.
I sliced up one more Lizardman, and immediately cut down the two Lizardmen who were rushing at me without a spear.
Suddenly!
“…Are there five left?”

“…You are a warrior after all. One-to-many fights are tough fights even with a difference in power, but you calmly solve the battle.”
Chloe honestly admired Abel’s battle. And Estelle, watching Abel’s battle, had a hearty smile on her face.
‘Our hero is getting stronger really fast&’
Chloe asked Estelle, who was already certain of Abel’s victory and was thinking about what to catch next.
“Hero Abel, hasn’t it been awhile since you became a hero?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Still, I think you are already used to fighting.”
“I did some special training.”
At the word special training, Chloe blinked. Estelle said to Chloe, pointing to Abel fighting now.
“You continued to fight like that without a blessing. Starting with weak monsters, step by step. Thanks to that, her skills have definitely improved.”
“…What a great effort.”
Chack!
Abel’s holy sword killed the last Lizardman. After the battle, Abel’s whole body was covered in blood, but there was not a single drop of Abel’s own blood.
Having won against the Lizardmen without a single wound on her, Abel looked back at her and shouted at her saintess.
“Saintess, did you see it? I said I would win!”
Seeing Abel speak confidently, Estelle smiled slightly.
‘You’re so cute&’
“Hero~♡ It took an hour to catch the Lizardman. Are you getting narcissistic with just something like this~?”
“…Has it been an hour?”
“Yeah~♡ Judging from the speed, we still have a long way to go to become strong~. This slow ♡ crap ♡”
“…Ha ha.”
Abel regretted hearing that she was still far away. But she was certain that Abel had grown up.
In addition to whipping the horse, give it carrots from time to time so that the horse doesn’t get tired. The saintess lowered her eyes and said to Abel.
“Still, you have improved a lot, hero. You worked hard~&”
Abel’s eyes widened slightly. He scratched the back of his head as if he was a little embarrassed by Estelle’s praise.
‘To love you like that, you’re going to die of cuteness~&’
Abel put her holy sword in her hand and trudged over to ask Estelle once again.
“…Really increased?”
“Yes~♡”
“…I see.”
Abel let out a sigh of relief. Seeing this, Estelle was slightly surprised. It was an action that showed that he had concerns about her skills in his own way.
“Hero♡”
“Yes?”
“You may be a sucker right now, but the day will come when you will become stronger than me~&”
Seeing Estelle saying that with a cheeky smile as she rolled her eyes, Abel thought to herself.
‘…Looks like you’re kidding me?’
