My Life as A Death Guard

Under the pretense of inquiring about the war situation, Herila continued to secretly gather information about Hades.

She learned that this tall warrior was only two years older than her.

She learned that Hades was one of the original three members of the Death Guards.

Herila learned that Hades wasn’t very popular.

Despite his prowess, he was always ostracized by others.

Why? Such an excellent person, why didn’t anyone appreciate him?

In the next combat team assignment, with a little plan in mind, Herila deliberately arrived a bit late and was indeed assigned to Hades, whom no one wanted to be near.

Hades silently carried his scythe, squatting in an inconspicuous corner of the battlefield, waiting for her.

She walked over. Was she nervous? Herila felt a bit weak.

No, she couldn’t embarrass herself in front of her idol and let him think she was weak.

Herila mustered her courage and readied her gun for battle.

When she blew out the brains of the last puppet, Hades, resting on his scythe, whistled.

“Well done, young lady, good shooting.”

“I remember you, the one who distracted the dogs, right?”

“I thought you had potential back then, and now it seems I was right.”

What was happening?! Herila felt her face flush instantly.

Thanks to the gas mask, Hades couldn’t see her blushing.

She had always imagined Hades as a silent and warm person.

She didn’t expect him to be so enthusiastic!!! Ahhhh! The idol aura seemed a bit shattered!!

But regardless, from then on, Herila always chose to team up with Hades.

As if realizing Herila’s thoughts, Hades often chatted with her.

When battles were about to end and there were no more monsters, Hades would show off his scythe skills to Herila. In his hands, the usually heavy scythe seemed to come alive, dancing with the wind, the blade flashing.

He also taught Herila some shooting techniques.

Strangely, although Hades couldn’t use a musket, he had his own insights into its use.

Besides these, Hades shared some other tips with Herila, like how to plow fields more efficiently, water flowers with rice water, and do mental math.

Contrary to others’ complaints about him, Herila found Hades to be quite a fascinating person.

To repay Hades and with a bit of her own intentions, Herila often cooked for him.

Unlike her sickly sister, Hades always ate quickly and happily.

Herila’s sense of taste had been destroyed long ago in a gas attack, so she hadn’t enjoyed food for a long time.

She hoped Hades could carry on her joy of eating.

Despite frequent battles causing occasional dizziness, Herila’s life became increasingly happy and joyful.

Herila grew stronger, could protect the weak, and became friends with Hades.

Under Mortarion’s leadership, the Death Guards continued to grow, and one Overlord after another was beheaded.

The future would be brighter.

As long as we strive, as long as we resist, the future will be brighter.

Even at the cost of her life, she would protect all this.

Herila deeply, firmly believed this.
