I Became a Hero Traveling With Saint Mesgaki

Chapter 5 – Other Heroes

Episode 5

Levius noticed two people approaching him. There was a woman in a nun’s uniform with her black hair and amber eyes, and next to her was a white-haired man with a simple look.

The unusual thing is that the two of them had considerable beauty. The female side was also very beautiful, and the male side had such a handsome appearance that even Levius himself admitted it to himself.

Levius knew them. He couldn’t have known in the first place. The emperor introduced me on the podium a little while ago.

Levius approached those who approached him first.

“Hero Abel, right?”

“Ah, it is an honor to meet you. Levius Hero.”

Abel politely bowed her head. Levius asked Abel.

“What family are you from, hero?”

“A family name?”

Levius was puzzled by Abel’s reaction.

“…Isn’t Hero Abel a noble?”

“Yes, I am a commoner.”

Abel answered honestly.

“Well, I see.”

Levius’s voice suddenly subsided. Abel was taken aback by the sudden change in Levius’ voice, as if her mood had cooled off.

Seeing the sudden change in Levius’ attitude, Abel tilted his head. She wondered if she said something wrong, but she didn’t, she just….

“Yes, then we will be able to meet often in the future, please take good care of me.”

“…Yes, please take good care of me.”

Her attitude changed when Abel learned that she was a commoner.

Levius was from a noble family in the kingdom of Minerva. He was the kind of person who saw commoners as tools rather than treating them as equals, like common aristocrats.

He refrained from showing such an attitude after he became a hero, but he did not like the fact that a hero like himself was a commoner.

Levius slightly turned his gaze to see the saintess of the Church of Solaria next to Abel.

‘Ohh.’

I felt that she was beautiful even when I saw her from afar, but her beauty shined even more when I saw her up close. She’s a bit short, but she’s not that short either, so that’s okay.

I was impressed with her completely black hair, which is rare even on the continent, and her amber eyes that seemed to sparkle in the sunlight. Levius looked at her and gave her a nice smile.

“The saintess who is with Hero Abel is the saintess of the Solaria Church, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

When Abel answered, the saintess next to him took a step forward and greeted her.

“It is an honor to meet you, Champion Levius. My name is Estelle, Goddess Solaria’s faithful handmaid.”

“Nice to meet you, Saint Estelle.”

The more I looked at it, the more beautiful it was. It was to the point where she wanted to take her with her instead of the boring girl she was with.

‘?’

But Abel was glancing at Estelle with her strange eyes. It wasn’t something sinister, it was an angry look.

‘Am I not on good terms with the saintess?’

Levius, who thought that he was a very strange man to not be on good terms with such a beautiful saint, suddenly thought that this might be an opportunity.

“Hero Abel, can you talk to me separately for a moment?”

“Yes?”

“It only takes a moment. In a little while.”

When Levius asked Abel with a friendly smile on her face, Abel only rolled her eyes and looked at her Estelle.

“Come on, warrior. I’ll be waiting here.”

“…Yes.”

Levius and Abel walked to a corner. There Levius spoke to Abel.

“Hero Abel, are you not on good terms with the saintess of the Solaria Church?”

“Uh… Does it look like that?”

Abel gave her vague answer. But Levius was convinced of Abel’s attitude. It was clear that this man had some kind of feud with the saintess.

“It just went well. I’m not on good terms with the saintess I go with either.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Abel looked at him with curious eyes, and Levius was more confident in his reaction.

He must be looking at me like that because he thinks he’s found a hero other than himself who has a bad relationship with the saintess.

“I have a cautious suggestion.”

“What is it?”

“How about swapping your saintess with our saintess?”

“Yes?”

Abel looked at Levius with her puzzled eyes.

“Can I?”

“Yes, there is nothing wrong with it. It’s kind of like just changing her teammates.”

Actually, Levius is not wrong. However, he could show severe opposition from the church, but Levius was confident that he could cover that much with his own power.

“Um….”

Abel seemed a little worried. Then he suddenly said to Levius:

“I don’t think it’s a matter for me to decide alone, so I’ll ask and come back.”

“Yes?”

What is this commoner talking about? Leaving Levius bewildered, Abel quickly turned to Estelle.

“Did you talk well?”

Estelle greets Abel with a gentle and pure face. Abel asked Estelle.

“Saintess, the hero of Levius wants to exchange the saintess and the saintess of the Church of Ludria, is that okay?”

“……Yes?”

“But you said there was no problem.”

“… ….”

Estelle narrowed her eyes and glanced at Levius behind Abel. Levius was taken aback by her gaze.

‘…What?’

Levius is a warrior. He is not a rookie warrior like Abel, but a true warrior who is already an experienced warrior.

It’s because the same hero, Elfriede, is too strong, and Levius is one of the best warriors on the continent.

Estelle was giving Levius such a bloody look that he was nervous. It was not the kind of spirit that a saintess who grew up in the arms of the church would show.

“Levius Hero, is this true?”

“…Oh, no. It’s not….”

‘Why am I making excuses?’

The opponent is just a saint. She is a saint who is no different from a boring woman who is with her. But is it that her hero, herself, is afraid of her?

This is nonsense. But his mouth was already spitting out excuses.

“…It seems that Hero Abel misunderstood the story.”

“Yes? Levius Hero, what do you mean….”

“Is that so? All right. Then we’ll go say hello to the hero Elfriede.”

“…Please. I look forward to seeing you next time.”

Levius had no choice but to let Estelle and Abel go.

#

It’s unfair. I looked at the saintess with that expression.

“Why are you looking at me with such a sinister eye, hero? Are you a pervert~♡”

“When did I look at you insidiously? I did it because it was unfair.”

“Don’t worry. I know that the hero is not at fault.”

Then why did you do that there? Did that bastard hit me?

“Then why did you act like you agreed?”

“Because that’s the fastest. It’s not good for the hero to pretend to be with other warriors. Seeing that you can’t think of such things yourself, the hero’s hair might be a decoration after all♡”

“…Well.”

After all, you did it for me. Then there is nothing you can do

“Are we going to say hello to Hero Elfriede next?”

“Yes, it should.”

“Is Hero Elfriede a noble too?”

“The only commoner warrior is the hero. To be a commoner warrior in a caste system society, the road ahead is clear♡”

…f*ck, filthy aristocracy. I wish I could have been possessed as an aristocrat.

“By the way, saintess.”

“Yes, poor warrior♡”

“I don’t know what to say, but wasn’t it an offer that would benefit the saintess as well? It’s the Levius Hero’s proposal.”

“……What do you mean by that?”

“It’s an obvious fact that the Levius hero is stronger than me. Isn’t the saintess much more comfortable with a strong warrior?”

“…Did you really like the saintess of the Church of Ludria?”

“Yes?”

What are you talking about again? I don’t know why the conclusion comes out like that.

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Then why are you asking me such a question? Could it be that you don’t like me on the subject of the warrior? Isn’t that too cocky for a weak warrior?”

“…No, I just did it because I was curious about why you wanted to stay by my side.”

The saintess suddenly stopped her steps.

“Saint?”

“…You said you would be friends.”

“Yes?”

“I felt so sorry for the lonely warrior without a friend, so I said I would stay by his side. Aren’t you deaf?”

What….

‘Why does he say all sorts of cute things that don’t suit him?’

I can’t adapt. Perhaps that feeling was revealed through her expression, the saintess said while smiling at her.

“Of course, if the hero stays as a lame brat hero forever, he might get tired of it and leave♡”

“…Yes, I will try.”

By the way, where the heck did the saintess get the word X food…?

Before she knew it, Elfride appeared in front of her. She was surrounded by nobles, exchanging stories.

‘It’s cheap.’

…If you’re not a celebrity with that face, is that even weirder?

Elfriede ended her conversation with the nobleman and returned her gaze to this direction.

Oh, damn it, Elfriede-nim saw me.

“Ah, are you the newly chosen hero this time?”

She pretended to know me in her dignified tone.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Hero Elfriede Bathory.”

Elfriede held out her hand to me.

‘Bathory? What kind of surname did the writer give it?’

It was the surname of Bathory Erzebet, a rare evil woman who existed in Hungary. She puts the surname of a serial killer in the name of a hero, and the author’s taste is also true….

First, we greeted her by holding hands.

“This is Abel.”

“Are you from commoners?”

“Yes.”

“Then there must be a lot you don’t know.”

“To my shame.”

Why are you kidding me too? However, my expectations were slightly off. Elfriede said with a friendly smile.

“If there is something you do not understand, it is okay to tell me anytime. As a fellow warrior, I will help you wholeheartedly.”

“…Oh.”

This is the heroine. You’re nice from the point of view. It’s completely different from this b*tch next to me.

As I honestly admired it, Elfriede gave me a puzzled look.

“Why is that?”

“Oh, no. It’s hard to believe that someone like you is helping me.”

“I see. But you may see it quite often from now on. You better get used to it.”

“Okay.”

Compared to Levius, it’s much easier to talk. As soon as Levius learned that I was a commoner, he did not hide his disappointment.

“Anyway, the holy sword of order… You were chosen by a pretty picky sword.”

“Yes? What do you mean by difficult?”

“The conditions for awakening the ego of the holy sword are difficult.”

“…Are you sleeping?”

Was this the Ego Sword?

“Every holy sword has its own self. Did you not know about this?”

“Yes. I was chosen as a hero without knowing anything….”

The original owner may have known something, but the possessed me doesn’t know anything. Because I haven’t read the novel.

“But is there any reason to awaken the ego?”

“That’s because the original power of the Holy Sword can be demonstrated.”

“Ah…Then did Hero Elfriede awaken his ego?”

“Yes. However, the sword’s ego can only be felt by the warrior chosen by the sword, so there’s no way to confirm it to you.”

This novel was a worldview with an ego sword. That’s interesting.

“How is the ego of Hero Elfriede’s holy sword?”

“Talks a lot.”

“Yes?”

Elfriede narrowed his brows a little and said.

“It’s still noisy. They’re making all sorts of fuss about you and saying you’re handsome.”

“…Is that so?”

You said you were handsome? I?

I want to quickly check the face of this body. I’ve been putting it off because I haven’t had time to look in the mirror, but I’ll have to check it out soon.

“Anyway, please take good care of me from now on, Abel.”

“Yes, Hero Elfriede.”

“Call me Elfriede. There is no need to call the same hero with the title of hero.”

“Ah, I will.”

Elfriede bowed his head lightly and went back to the aristocrats who were waiting for him.

That’s a warrior. Popular, pretty, and good-natured.

Then the saintess next to her touched me. Looking at me with the expression “Why?”, She said softly.

“Hero.”

“Yes?”

“All women are foxes. Trust no one but me.”

“???”

You’re the least trusted b*tch.
