My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

38 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Despair (3)

Story from before)

Zerath, the wizard of the warrior party who was banished from the empire.

He goes to the kingdom of Alprada and becomes its chancellor.

And in the process, he married Lucy, the Queen of Al Prada Kingdom, and is making various preparations.

Zerath heard the news from the goddess that the empire would soon perish.

He didn’t know the exact reason, but he believed in the prophecy of the goddess and prepared accordingly.

Hero, Chloe.

She has finally returned to the Empire after her long mission.

And now she is full of thoughts of meeting her own childhood friend, Xerath.

She was the one she wanted to marry Xeras, now that she goes back to the Empire and she doesn’t do tsundere.

But she still doesn’t know. She told the princess that Xerath had been exiled.

And she has no idea that Xerath is married.

In that state, she was returning to the Empire.

On the way to the empire after finishing her mission, Chloe, the warrior, was full of thoughts of seeing Xeras soon in the carriage.

Now, in order to marry him, I was thinking of progressing into a solid relationship, not an ambiguous relationship like a childhood friend.

Now that he’s getting married too, that’s with Xerath. Thinking back on it, I couldn’t help but smile.

“But Chloe, why do you like Xerath?”

And looking at Chloe like that, Artemiaga suddenly had a question.

If you think about it, it was because Chloe didn’t know why she liked Xerath.

“Huh…?”

“That’s right. It’s strange that you only like Xerath when other people don’t look at you. Is it because you’re childhood friends?”

Actually, Xerath is a very attractive man. He was, above all, good and capable, and had everything that any woman would be quite fond of.

But Artemia thought that Chloe’s liking for Xerath was not for such a simple reason.

Artemia, who had been a member of the warrior party for a long time, couldn’t help but wonder why Chloe liked Xerath.

“Hmm, it’s not really like that. Can I tell you now?”

Chloe gave a little thought to Artemia’s question, then she smiled.

It’s a story I’ve never told anyone, but it’s okay to tell Artemia. She thought, and she opened her mouth to Chloe.

“You know what? I hated Xerath a lot at first? When I first met you, I never thought I’d marry someone like that.”

“Hate it? Didn’t you like it?”

“Yeah. You really hated it, didn’t you?

“Why?”

“Yeah, he messed around with me without even knowing the subject.”

Actually, the first meeting between Chloe and Xerath was not very good.

Chloe briefly moved to the village where Xerath lived as a child, and Xerath was working as an alley manager there.

The two collided as soon as they first met. Like all children, they were the ones who tried to fight because they got into a fight over trivial things.

However, a fight between the two could not be established at all.

Because Chloe was different from everyone else.

“Obviously he wasn’t much of a guy at first. So he got into a lot of fights.”

“Wow…Was there such a story? So how did it go?”

“Of course I won. I’m not going to lose to anyone else. And to a kid my age.”

“Well, it’s great to inherit the blood of a hero. I guess so.”

She was a descendant of the hero, and a girl who inherited the blood of the hero.

Of course, all of her physical abilities exceeded those of normal children, and she also showed considerable talent for fighting.

No matter how much Xerath was playing the role of the alley leader among the village kids, Chloe couldn’t stand it.

“But you know what? Normally, people give up at times like that… But Xerath didn’t give up?”

“What did Xerath do?”

“You attacked me until the end.”

In such an overwhelming situation, an ordinary person would definitely give up.

When Chloe faced off against numerous peers up to this point, they quickly gave up when she showed a ridiculous difference in ability.

From the beginning, I stipulated that I couldn’t win because my buds were different, and I didn’t giggle anymore.

“Jerath was different. He fought and lost day after day, but he never backed down on winning against me. He worked really hard.”

“Hmm … If you look closely at Lars, she seems to have persistence in some strange place.”

“Right. Right.”

However, the man Xerath did not give up.

After he was defeated, he practiced with more effort and blood.

In order to somehow beat Chloe, he trained his young body hard.

“But at that time, even if you did that, you could never beat me. Because the difference in natural talent is huge.”

“Well, if you can overcome the blood of a warrior by doing some physical training, that’s also a point that doesn’t make sense. I guess so.”

Of course, you won’t be able to beat Chloe, who has a different talent and sprout.

No matter how many times he tried, Xerath was defeated, and Chloe laughed at Xerath inwardly.

I looked at him pathetically and stupidly as to why he keeps attacking needlessly when this talent gap cannot be overcome with effort.

“But Xerath won in the end?”

“What? Really?”

“Yeah. I’ve won everything so far and it’s only one last time, but Xerath won anyway.”

Even so, Xerath never gave up.

In order to somehow defeat Chloe, this time she resorted to magic.

While working tirelessly every day, Xerath did his best to defeat Chloe.

Even with that appearance, Chloe never thought she would lose…

In the end, Xerath finally beat Chloe.

“Is he suddenly starting to learn magic?”

“That’s when Xerath learned magic.”

“Yes. You learned magic to beat me, but I heard you’re more talented than I thought?”

“Well, looking at it even now, one magic is really amazing. So you beat you with that?”

“That’s right. I was defeated for the first time in my life.”

Until this point, Chloe had never lost to anyone in a fair fight.

As her next hero, she was stronger than anyone else and superior to anyone else.

But she was lost to a man named Xerath. He had surpassed Chloe for her efforts.

Of course, Chloe had won everything up until now, and Xerath had only beaten her once, but it was so great that an ordinary man defeated a hero named Chloe.

“But strangely, after losing, I didn’t feel bad.”

“You weren’t in a bad mood with a strong competitive spirit?”

“Um… No, of course I was upset about losing the match. I had a different feeling.”

“Different emotions?”

“The feeling that Xerath is rather cool. hehehe. From then on, I liked Xerath.”

Seeing that, Chloe couldn’t help but be quite shocked.

For some reason, Xerath, whom he had only looked at pathetically before, looked so different after finally defeating him.

So it was from then? In Chloe’s heart, love began to sprout.

“Then shouldn’t I confess first?”

“Ah. That’s absolutely not possible. I’m a warrior no matter what you see. I’m Chloe. How can I confess to you first?”

Well, of course, that didn’t mean they were immediately connected.

Although he loved Chloe, he didn’t intend to do anything like confessing to Xeras first.

For Chloe, who often reads romance novels, she knew that ‘pushing and pushing’ was very important.

In order not to be swayed later in her marriage, she had to be thoroughly gaslighted beforehand.

“So you did that to Xerath? To make him think he’s weak?”

“Yeah… That’s right. But I’m a bit sorry that I gaslighted a bit more than I thought…”

Did that effort really pay off? Xerath found himself weak.

It could be said that Chloe’s meticulous strategy was the reason why he had no confidence in his abilities even though he had great abilities.

And the current state of Xerath is the result.

“You’re amazing too…”

Artemia, listening to all these words and circumstances, she said with a slight laugh.

Even so, do we have to go this far?

It was at this point that I felt sorry for Xerath, but at the same time I became very afraid of a woman named Chloe.

“But anyway, you’re going to marry me. I’m going to make my future husband, it doesn’t matter.”

Well, of course, Chloe defended herself saying that she was not at fault and that this was all her love.

If it wasn’t for love, he said he wouldn’t have done such a troublesome thing in the first place.

“Yes. Yes. Please get married soon.”

Well, of course Artemia listened to Chloe’s words in one ear.

To be honest, I didn’t know if Chloe’s way was right or not, and she was in the middle of thinking that it was wrong from Artemia’s point of view.

But, as I said before, Artemia had no intention of getting involved in their love.

She just hoped that she wouldn’t do such a nuisance any time soon.

“Now we have really arrived in the Empire.”

While they were talking like that, the city began to be seen in the distance.

That was the capital of the empire, and the destination of Chloe and Artemia.

And it was the place where Xerath was.

“I can finally see Xerath. Hurry up and see Xerath.”

Chloe chuckled and sped her wagon.

She was the one who was looking forward to meeting Xeras.

“What are you doing now?”

You must be thinking of me, right?

Chloe made her happy imagination come true.

At that time Xerath.

“Xerath… Kiss me.”

Unfortunately, Xerath wasn’t thinking of Chloe right now.
