I Became a Hero Traveling With Saint Mesgaki

Chapter 144 – You’ve become a bit more manly than when we met before, Hero.

Chapter 142

I took Chloe and went back to the inn building. As soon as she took her to her inn, Chloe tilted her head.

“Huh? Isn’t this an inn? Why do I feel mana…”

“That’s why I asked for help. Please follow me.”

I went upstairs with Chloe and entered the room where Estelle and Celine stayed.

“Isn’t there a trace of magic left here?”

“…Yes. It’s a trace of transmission magic. Showing this to me is…”

“My colleagues have been kidnapped. If someone had come in, I wouldn’t have been hit, but I guess I dug a trap and waited like this beforehand.”

“I see… wait, fellow ‘s’?”

Why, is there a problem?

“Yes, colleagues.”

“…What is the s*x ratio?”

“Why is that…”

“This is an important matter!”

“…They are all women.”

It happened that way. Hearing the answer, Chloe narrowed her eyes and glanced at Alicia next to her.

“Right now, the little girl here is also a girl… All of her colleagues are girls…”

“It just happened that way.”

“…Hero was actually planning to start a harem.”

“It’s not like that!?”

…Of course two of them are my lovers, but no. Anyway….

“More than that, Chloe. What I want to ask is not this, but something else. If it’s transmission magic, wouldn’t the destination be set?”

“Yes.”

“Can I find out here?”

“I need a little more detailed investigation. There are also necessary magic tools.”

…So you can’t figure it out right now? When I let out a deep sigh, Chloe smiled and said,

“Of course, it wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the genius cadet of the Royal Magic Academy.”

“…Yes?”

What cadet? When I opened her eyes and looked at her, her Chloe said questioningly.

“Why are you looking at me like that! As soon as I went back to that school, I was at the top of my grade. That’s why I was given the opportunity to practice in second or third grade!”

“…Uh, did you?”

Good job. Estelle once said that Chloe’s skills weren’t average. To say she reached the top, I didn’t expect it to be that high.

… Then, it could be that Anais, her bodily childhood friend, did not bully her simply because he was a commoner, but was jealous of her because he was good at her studies. It was just jealousy incarnated.

Anyway, that wasn’t the point.

“So you say you can do it?”

Yes, this was the important one.

“Leave it to me. I will find out soon.”

Chloe said that and sat down on her knees on the floor. Then she ran her hand over the floor and nodded her head.

“There are traces of the magic being activated. If it stays this dark, I’ll be able to recognize it right away.”

“Really?”

“Yes, hold on.”

Chloe pulled a stick of hers from the inside pocket of her robe. It was a stick a little longer than an approximately 15 cm ruler.

Oh, I’ve seen that in X-Porter.

Chloe tapped the stick with her hand. Then the stick flashed and shone and turned into a large one. He wasn’t a porter.

“Is that Chloe’s weapon?”

“I won’t hit people with this, but it’s a weapon for wizards. It is something called staff.”

I know that.

“Can you figure that out?”

“If you use tracking magic, you will be able to find out. However, there are risks…”

“What is it?”

“If there’s a good mage out there waiting, you might find out that your magic has been tracked.”

“Oh?”

So that means you can run away. Hmm.

“Still, this is the only way to find out where you are, right?”

“Yes.”

“Then do it. I’ll take care of the next day. In case of danger, I can protect you. I can do that much now.”

I used to be weak when I was with Chloe, but not now. Now I have the ability to protect others in any situation.

Chloe looked at me quietly and smiled brightly. For some reason, it was a very pleasant smile.

“…You have become a bit more manly than the last time we met, hero.”

“Really? That’s kind of fortunate.”

I would have been sad if you said that it had been a while since we met and nothing had changed. Chloe touched the floor with her staff and said.

“Tracking.”

The runes floated to the floor and Chloe’s mana flowed through the staff to the floor. Her mana glowed purple. It’s the same color as her hair.

The mana that flowed into the floor stayed in a frenzy for a while, then she quickly scattered and disappeared like smoke.

“I found it.”

“Where is it?”

“…The transfer location is Ephesus.”

“Yes?”

Where is it?

When I tilted my head, not knowing where I was, Chloe kindly explained.

“It is the capital of the Kingdom of Diana. It’s also where I originally wanted to go.”

What?

“The royal road?”

Then how should I get from here? Going itself won’t be a problem, but you can’t go fast. This is a village near the border area, and it would take a long time to reach the royal road even on horseback.

“…How to go fast.”

“For now, go with me. I have to go to Ephesus anyway.”

“But I think it will be too late if I go on horseback…”

“Then let’s use the gate.”

“Yes?”

Is there a gate around here?

“If you go a little further from here, there is a city. I know there is a gate in that city.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yes, if I go there and put my name on it and pay for it, I can probably use it… Oh, anyway, if the hero asks, I can use it for free! Money will be good too!”

I was wondering why Chloe likes it so much, but if you think about it, she said that the gate was an invention created by a group of sorcerers. The cost of use will also be significant.

“Then let’s go straight to that city. Where are you?”

“It’s a city that comes out when you go northwest from this town. The name is Mycenae.”

Mycenae? It was definitely a name I had heard somewhere.

…Ah, I remembered. It’s a name from Greek mythology. It was definitely a city ruled by the Atreid family, one of the most famous bean-garu families in mythology.

Isn’t that the case here too? If you think about what has happened so far, it’s scary that it might be like that.

“Then are you leaving right away?”

“Yes, let’s go without delay.”

There was no time to relax. Let’s go.

I left the inn like that, and Chloe said.

“By the way, warrior, aren’t you trying to pamper me for free? After all, they are elite personnel.”

“…What do you want?”

“Knowing~.”

…It’s scary to imagine, so can you tell me straight?

“Please date me in Ephesus! I want to talk to the hero for the first time in a while, and I want to play!”

“Saving people safely comes first.”

“I know that!”

“…Yes, I got it.”

Yeah, because if Chloe hadn’t shown up, he wouldn’t have been able to find where they all went. I promised her I would give her time of the day.

“Let’s go to Mycenae now.”

“Yes!”

Chaeeng!

The sound of swords and curved swords colliding echoed through the hallway.

Hennessy, one of the executives of the Black Pandinus and the head of the Ephesus branch here, twisted the curved sword and tried to break the opponent’s sword, but the opponent, who immediately noticed it, relaxed his grip on the sword and slid it away. Got out

Hennessy’s curved sword has a groove on the back of the sword that allows the blade to be hung and broken. So he broke his opponent’s sword and tried to subdue it, but the opponent’s escape skill was excellent.

As if someone who had been through this situation several times.

“…Your strength control skills are unusual.”

“…A bully who sneaks into the underworld is good at his skills.”

“What?”

Elfriede, the opponent who criticized Hennessy for being a bully and held his sword straight again, perfectly defended Jin’s sword attack from the right.

Close up!!!

“…Does this react too?”

“…….”

After blocking the attack, Elfriede pushed Jin’s Qatar hard.

《 Sacred Arrow 》

《Divine Sword》

A sword imbued with the power of the wind and an arrow imbued with the power of the sun aimed at the pushed Jin at the same time, but Hennessy came and parried all the attacks.

“…That sword seems to be made of a metal with high resistance to divine power.”

“I guess so. But Saint Estelle does scratch at least, but I don’t even get scratched…hahahaha.”

Celine said she was sorry she didn’t seem to be helping. Unlike Celine, Cynthia only gave Elfriede her blessing and watched them quietly.

“Saint Cynthia. Aren’t you helping?”

“…Sorry, as a saint of the Church of Lunaria, I can’t use s*xual skills on people.”

“…There was such a doctrine.”

The priests of the Lunaria Church were strictly forbidden to use s*xual organs on people. Of course, other denominations also implicitly refrained from such acts, but the Lunaria denomination was the only one that was designated as a doctrine and prohibited.

Inevitably, Estelle and Celine supported Elfriede together. Jin saw it and said.

“Those girls bother me too much. Especially that black hair… If you get hit the wrong way, you’ll go to the goal.”

“Then you go and subdue it. I’ll deal with that blonde b*tch.”

“I got it.”

Jin and Hennessy set up a strategy and ran forward. Hennessey charged forward, and Jin climbed the wall and turned sideways. Seeing that, Elfriede shouted behind her.

“Go that way!”

“I know!”

《 Sacred Spear 》

Estel created a long spear of sunlight and threw it at the running Jin. Then Jin crossed the katar in her hand and broke the spear.

“This is really annoying…!”

Obviously, in the past, she could have been able to subdue her at once with the ‘Sacred Chain’, but the fact that she frequently consumed her divine power made her weaker.

Celine looked around her, seeing Jean approaching her. It was clear that if Estelle’s even blocked her s*xual technique, she would hardly be able to use her own s*xual technique. So, she picked up one of the Black Pandinus’ members’ swords that fell during the process of subduing them.

“Celine?”

“Saintess, give me a blessing.”

“My blessing is Abel’s?”

“Oh, no time for jokes!”

Jin was already approaching them. She pulled her right hand behind her back, holding her katar, as if she were about to throw it in front of her.

When Celine joined Abel and Estelle, she said this. She said she knew how to use a sword and how to shoot a bow. As proof of that, there were calluses secretly embedded in Celine’s hands.

Estelle reached out and put her hand on Celine’s back. She and she cast her blessing, imbuing with powerful divine power.

Chaeeng!!!

Jin was a bit surprised. One of her powerless-looking saints raised her sword and blocked her own blow. And that too, without any sign of being pushed back.

‘How can a priest use force…?’

Celine pushed Jin’s Qatar away and counterattacked her. Then Jin was pushed from her power by the saintess, her priest, not her combatant, and hit her backwards.

It made no sense in terms of common sense. Jean was an experienced and very athletic combatant, while her opponent was a clergyman who knew how to wield a sword.

The fact that she was able to do that nonsense meant that Estelle’s blessing was strong.

“…Really energized.”

“This is the first time I have given a blessing to someone other than Abel. Consider it an honor, Celine.”

“Should this be considered an honor…?”

Celine was slightly taken aback by Estelle’s words, and raised her sword straight up to look at Jin.

It would be possible to receive a blessing and fight back with equal strength and speed, but the difference in technique is so great that it will probably be difficult to win. Then….

‘I have to endure until Hero Elfriede subdues the woman.’

Celine gripped her sword tightly. Then Estelle touched her on the shoulder and said.

“Don’t be too nervous, Celine.”

“…Yes. I will just hold on.”

“I will support you.”

Jin judged that she had become difficult to deal with. She couldn’t see what she was doing, but considering that they were saints, she seemed to have used a ‘blessing’.

When Celine, the brunette saint in the front, stood up and fired her s*x organs from behind, it was difficult for Jin to quickly defeat the two.

“…Hennessy.”

“Kuh, why!”

“Hold on.”

“…What!?”

“Don’t bring the kids.”

Jin told her upstairs about this and wanted her support. He quickly spurred up the ground, trying to climb past Estelle and Celine on the wall in an instant.

However, there was no way Estelle and Celine could just watch it.

《 Sacred Chain 》

“Where are you going?”

Estel used the Holy Spirit to obstruct Jin’s movement path. Then Celine turned to her side and chased Jean. Her body, strengthened by her divine protection, made even Celine, a priest, very fast, and was able to catch up with her Jin to some extent.

Seeing Celine following her, her gin tutted and clicked her tongue.

“You’re bothering me.”

Jean crossed Qatar with her X.

“Mana!?”

It happened in an instant. Dark red mana swayed and crossed Katar moved quickly. A katar cut through her air, and at the same time, two magic blades shot towards Celine’s neck.

“Hey, Jin! You can’t kill me!”

“Kuu…!”

It was too late to react. It was a position where it was difficult to react with Celine’s casting speed. Celine sensed her own fate and closed her eyes.

‘Abel…!’

But Celine was not alone. Even if she couldn’t react, she had someone to protect her.

“It’s okay. Because I won’t die.”

《 Sacred Shield 》

Quaang!!!

A huge shield shining red like the sun was blocking Celine’s path.

“…Ah.”

“Don’t be scared, Celine♡”

Jin couldn’t believe her eyes when he saw that her own surprise attack was blocked. The attack earlier was a swift blow that no one would have expected. She hadn’t thought that non-combatant saints would read it.

Saint of the Sun, Estelle. She read her Jin’s movements and responded in advance. With her djinn’s attack blocked, Celine swung her sword again to block his path.

In the end, Jin couldn’t get out of the back and had to come down to the floor again. He said straight through Qatar.

“…You have good eyes.”

“My eyes are pretty~♡”

Estelle and Jin started to engage in a strange war of nerves. Jin looked at Estelle for a while, then rushed forward again.

“Celine, below the right slash… No, from the right, horizontally.”

“Yes, I did.”

Chaeeng!!!

I got stuck again. Jin couldn’t let go of his doubts. Somehow the saints who were not combatants were so good at reading movements that they were comparable to active S-class adventurers.

‘What is it?’

But there was one fact he overlooked. Fighting is fought by warriors, but the battle is watched by the saints who help them.

Especially Estelle and Celine here were excellent at reading such movements. Jin attempted dozens of more attacks after that, but Celine countered all of his attacks with great precision.

As Estelle blocked the menacing mana attack, Jin did not achieve any results. Just as he was about to lose his stamina, a loud noise came from behind.

With a thump, a woman with striking blonde hair peeking out through the hood turned her body.

“You guys are next.”
