NOVEL NEXT chapter 12
12 – Hey, pretend to be close
The way back to the party was laid back.
Exactly, I had no desire whatsoever.
From now on, the road ahead of me will not be much different from the novels I have read.
After all, I am an extra that nothing can change.
What’s even more terrifying than the average extra in a novel is that I already know everything that’s going to happen.
Just not very pleasant things.
Even when I read the novel, I lost my appetite for a week.
What if it unfolds in reality?
… I don’t want to think ahead.
“… Hey, let go of your expression. porter.
Should we keep the setting that we love each other?”
■■, who was walking arm in arm with me from the side, complained like that.
Do you think I’ll be that motivated now?
I don’t want to go along with that disgusting prank.
i want to die
I’m alive because I can’t die, right now.
Because there is a monster next to me who can control even death.
When I didn’t follow her
■■ puffed out her cheeks and looked at us with a pouty expression.
Pretending to be cute for a monster subject.
“… Porter, if you keep doing that…
Being my footrest might turn it into a toy that is the greatest joy in life?”
Remember the happiest time in your life, Yujin Kim… !!!!
When was it?
Was it when you paid off your overdue monthly rent and bought meat?
I could never forget the taste of the charcoal grilled beef sirloin I ate at that time.
Remember the savory taste of beef juice bursting on your tongue, Yujin Kim… !!!
… In the end, I remember the time when I was the happiest in my life,
He succeeded in creating a mask-like smile.
“Very good.”
The b*tch, no, the saintess was looking at my face with a satisfied smile.
“I-maybe… ”
Upon entering the village where we originally stayed,
A villager holding a paper walks this way and asks.
“yes?” ＜- b*tch
“Aren’t the adventurers drawn here by any chance?”
Saying so, the villager showed me a poster with the words [Looking for a person] written on it.
Our faces are drawn and it says White Mage and Porter respectively.
The fact that we are a party of warriors is a top secret that no one should know except for the very high-ranking people.
That’s why he changed his identity to a simple adventurer.
As expected, the party members have been looking for us all along.
“yes. that’s right. Are there any people looking for us still in this town?”
A saintess who speaks skillfully.
He’s really good at acting pretending to be human.
“… Probably. It looks like you’re looking for adventurers right now… ”
In the end, even the villagers didn’t seem to know. After all, it’s just a matter of being in this town.
… did it happen?
I’d rather not find them forever.
After sending the villagers away, as we were walking towards the inn we stayed at,
A short-haired beauty with blue hair runs from afar waving her hand… There was a young man like
To the extent that it can be said that the masculine beauty is at least slightly supplemented by wearing armor…
She is beautiful.
So, a warrior.
“caiman!! Holy Lady!!!”
“Lindsay!”
A bright smile that seems to be purified just by looking at it.
Come to think of it, it seems like this is the first time I’ve called out the hero’s name.

My swordsman power pierces the sky to the point where I’m really ashamed.
That’s because I didn’t do anything other than eat and write novels.
Lindsay jumped right in and hugged me.
“100 million.”
It was too much skinship for Asa.
Still, I’m glad you welcomed me, even when I was so ugly.
Just being with the saintess made me feel as if my mind was being shattered.
To think that just meeting the hero again made me feel so much better…
Humans are truly simple creatures.
On the one hand, when you think about seeing such a kind person getting ruined… My heart aches all the time
We fell again after a joyous embrace.
Lindsay said in a cheerful voice, still unable to hide her smile.
“I’m glad you two are all right! I was worried that I might have been kidnapped by an evil person… ”
… Hey, kidnapping is more credible than escaping love.
It seems to have caused concern.
“You’ve been looking for us all this time… Hero, I’m really sorry for behaving unwisely… ”
A saintess pretending to be truly sorry.
Warrior, please notice.
The person in front of you is a monster wearing a human mask.
called an imposter.
I feel like I want to express it by shaking a carrot.
I desperately looked at the hero with all the desperation in my eyes, but the hero didn’t seem to notice.
Do you think you’re doing this because you’re so happy?
“Everything is fine. I just wanted you to come back safely. Then, shall we go back to the inn where we stayed?”
Saying that, Lindsay fired a signal flare into the sky.
The color of the signal that explodes like a small fireworks display is green.
That means it was successful.
Here it probably means that they have found us.
***
Lindsay and we sat at a table on the first floor of the inn.
“Come on, everyone. Please order as much as you want!
Still, it won’t go far compared to Caiman’s cooking… ?”
Lindsay looks at me with an apologetic expression.
Rather, I am sorry.
I made you worry by acting alone for no reason,
In the end, nothing was achieved.
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
I waved my hand.
I’m not in the mood to eat stuffed up yet.
Especially if it’s an inn’s cuisine.
It’s basically a world with a lot of magic to use in cooking, so the quality of the food isn’t so bad that you can’t eat it…
At that moment, the door to the inn opened.
“caiman! And saintess, welcome back!”
The one who exclaimed upon entering was the silver-haired princess.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
My black-haired childhood friend is also by my side.
All the warrior party members gathered at the table.
It wasn’t that long, but it feels like it’s been a very long time.
Everyone seemed to be starving as if they hadn’t eaten properly.
We ordered one meat pie per person.
“There is nothing like Caiman’s special drink… ”
The princess secretly felt sorry for her while ordering a drink similar to ginger beer.
The power of carbonic acid is scary.
It simply melts the carbon dioxide by blowing air at high pressure into the beverage bottle.
The secret was still kept secret from the party members.
It is the special container I made at the request of the blacksmith and my skill that prevents the drink from flowing backwards.
Well, it’s not to the extent that no one in this world can imitate it.
If you know the principle, you can follow it…
In the first place, the machines that produce carbonated water are not that complicated in structure.
Carbon dioxide is rather difficult to obtain by world standards.
Anyway, if I tell you that the secret is this simple, my Gao won’t buy it…
… Come to think of it, now it’s carbonated and it’s meaningless. They’re all going to be NTRed anyway.
No, since I’m more of an NTR person, is it NTL?
Can NTR be called NTR when it is not my will?
“… Anyway, there are so many things I want to ask! that…
Caiman and Seria love each other so much… Did you try to quit the hero party?”
The princess asked with sparkling eyes.
It seems that he has a lot of interest in dating, befitting his age.
Quit the warrior party?
That’s true, but it’s a blatant lie in front of you.
But there was no way to make excuses because I wrote the sound of love escaping on a piece of paper.
The b*tch, no, the saintess lowered her head while blushing from the side.
“… Because of the love deeper than the sea, I ended up committing a foolish thing.
please… be kind… ”
Why are you affirming the dating rumor?
I have nothing to do with you.
rather the worst.
The princess is making a face that says something.
Hey, if you deny love, it will become the established theory that it was my one-sided kidnapping.
It would be annoying if I got arrested. You’ll have to roll it with your puppet.
Damn b*tch year.
“… I think it’s a beautiful thing to go that far for love.
Although we got into a bit of trouble.
Now, it’s okay, raise your head.”
As always, she is a cool princess.
why are you forgiving me
Please, kick me out for acting alone!!!
Resemble at least one-fifth of the shameless princesses from other novels!
Calling them ‘disgusting commoners’, slapping anyone on the cheek and even cursing at them.
If you keep doing this, the internal damage that the hero will suffer when you are NTRed will only get worse later on.
Or even just the porter, slap him away while saying ‘trash-like luggage’… !!
I have to live in the country as well.
“… It was real. Seria-sama and Caiman… relationship of mutual love.
It’s also very deep… ”
… Looking at Lindsay’s expression, she seems a bit sullen.
Did you like Lindsay, the saintess… ?
It’s an original setting that I don’t know about because it’s never mentioned in the original novel.
But the hero, the saint, is a monster who wears a human mask and is not worthy of your love.
Anyway, I’m so afraid that things are going like this, and it’s a headache.
“… Alice, don’t you have any questions?”
The hero asks instead of his childhood friend who has not said a word.
I couldn’t tell what the hell she was thinking, just from that expressionless expression.
“… later.”
There is only one meaningful word left.
