I Became a Hero Traveling With Saint Mesgaki

Chapter 154 – The reaction is so cute, Hero.

Chapter 152

Love is something that starts suddenly. Abel couldn’t help but sympathize with those words. He fell in love with Celine because it happened so quickly.

“Did you get an answer, hero?”

“…Yes, enough.”

Meeting again, Chloe’s heart hasn’t changed. Rather, it had changed to a firmer conviction than before.

Abel knows now.

That I can’t put it off any longer. That she had to give her a clear, definite answer.

“Chloe.”

“Yes, hero?”

“…But you still have to graduate. I can’t make Chloe give up her life because of me.”

“I know that too. So, when you come after graduation, you should definitely accept me.”

At Chloe’s words, Abel scratched her head. She has a year and a half left until graduation. In the meantime, she couldn’t keep Chloe waiting patiently for nothing.

Although we won’t be able to see her often anyway, Abel decided that it would be better for her to be happy and happy.

“It’s like the fact that I keep rejecting people who say I like them so much, and I’ve already recognized Estelle, Celine, and Chloe anyway…”

“…Yes?”

“Let’s get together, we.”

Chloe’s eyes widened. Seeing her surprised eyes wide open, Abel smiled.

“Isn’t this what you wanted?”

“…Ah, no…That’s right. But she didn’t think that suddenly she would give such a definite answer…”

“I still have to graduate, so I won’t be able to date in earnest… but please send me a letter. So that I can send you a reply.”

Chloe’s cheeks were stained red. Her small lips moved slightly as if to say something, then closed again.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“…Then I am definitely the hero’s lover, right?”

“Yes, I see. Chloe, please take care of me in the future…”

“Then… there is something I want to do.”

Chloe moved a little closer to Abel, who was sitting next to her. And she lay down like she was a cat, and she nudged her face towards him.

Thanks to that, Abel’s face and Chloe’s face came very close together. Her eyes, sparkling like amethyst, blinked and stared at Abel’s face, her cheeks flushed red with shame.

Even so, Chloe couldn’t give up what she wanted so much. She mustered up her courage and asked Abel to be quiet.

“Please… Kiss me.”

“…….”

Abel nodded at Chloe’s request. And just as he reached out his hand and was about to caress Chloe’s cheek, she, unable to wait, moved her head first.

Before Abel’s hand could reach, Chloe’s lips covered his first. It was not a deep kiss that even mixed the tongue, but a kiss that was fresh and sweet like a green apple, with only the lips touching each other.

Chloe took her lips apart first, slowly, while Abel stood still with her hand outstretched, staring at her.

An expression and eyes that look obviously bewildered. Seeing that funny expression, Chloe burst into laughter.

“It’s not the first time, so why are you so flustered?”

“…Uh, that’s…”

“Your reaction is so cute, warrior.”

I think it’s the first time I’ve kissed so suddenly, and from the other side first. Abel was feeling again the daze she felt when she and Chloe parted in Athens.

#

“…Saint Estelle, are you okay?”

Celine cautiously spoke to Estelle. She would be like that too, she thought that Estelle would be in a bad mood, so she did.

In this place where Estelle and Celine are hiding, you can hear all the conversations between Abel and Chloe, and of course you can see all the conversations and actions Abel and Chloe had had just a moment ago.

So she thought that Estelle would be quite offended. In fact, she said that Estelle was quiet. But as if Celine’s expectations were completely wrong, Estelle quietly asked Celine back.

“Yes? What?”

“Are you okay? That… the hero decided that in the end.”

“…I knew that Chloe meant that from the beginning, so it’s okay.”

“Yes?”

“If I didn’t have a real heart in the first place, I would have rejected it outright in Athens. Like the hero Elfriede. But from the fact that it didn’t happen, I was roughly expecting it. And… I didn’t expect her to be that serious with Abel, but she was also pretty genuine with Chloe.”

Celine tilted her head at Estelle’s calm reaction. Then she wondered why the hell did she come to watch?

“Then why are we doing this?”

“Yes? That’s right, Chloe, we have to keep an eye on that stray cat so it doesn’t do anything strange.”

“…Ah.”

That’s why I’m allowed to accept your heart, but I can’t allow you to have a relationship yet. It was this sound.

Celine nodded her head as if she understood.

“We need to prevent people from doing things secretly like anyone else.”

“…I don’t know who did it, but she’s such a bad girl.”

“I mean.”

Estelle turned her eyes back to where Abel and Chloe were sitting. And she started muttering to herself.

“Then why are you kissing on your own? Abel’s lips are mine…”

“…She became a lover, but wouldn’t it be okay to do that?”

“I still hate it.”

Celine thought Estelle’s jealous remarks were strange.

“If you look at the saintess, she has quite a monopoly… I don’t know how she allows other people to sit.”

“Do I want to give permission? Abel has already committed everything, so she can’t help it.”

“Still, if the saintess doesn’t allow it, even the hero wouldn’t be able to do anything about it.”

“…Then Abel wouldn’t feel comfortable. She’ll be sad, and she’ll hate it. She’s a long problem that she has to commit in the first place. Anyway…If she likes Abel, she’s done with it.”

Celine was a little impressed by her attitude, as if she put Abel’s happiness ahead of her own jealousy.

“It’s not easy to think like that, saintess.”

“Rather than that, Celine, what are you curiously asking about when you are such an intrusive person?”

“That’s it, and what I’m curious about is what I’m curious about.”

Estelle sighed at Celine’s answer and turned her head away. And when she saw the man’s face in front of her, she was startled and screamed.

“Ahhhhh!?!”

“Eh…”

Celine also checked the person’s face and put on a slightly troubled expression. The man who looked at the two of them with a sullen face, Abel. He asked in a voice as dark as his expression.

“…Estel and Celine. Why are you two here?”

#

“…So you said I followed you around to see if I did anything strange to the hero?”

Along with Chloe’s bewildered voice, Estelle timidly nodded. Beside him, Celine was lamenting, ‘I knew it would be like this’.

“No, I am doing something strange! No matter what, I stick to the line. I don’t do that in broad daylight! Even the hero wouldn’t want it in the first place.”

I mean, I thought something was weird from before, and the two of them were following me. I think the hooded women I saw at the restaurant were Estelle and Celine. That’s why I felt a sense of deja vu.

But I didn’t dare say anything to Estelle. If you’ve been following us all this time, Estelle has overheard my conversation with Chloe.

So it means everyone heard that I accepted Chloe. Of course, it must have been expected, and it was a planned procedure once Chloe graduated anyway. It’s just that the time has come a little earlier.

Still, it was true that he noticed Estelle. So while Chloe said something, she didn’t say anything, and Chloe said.

“Doesn’t the hero say anything?”

“…Yes?”

“No matter how much you were a lover, you followed the hero, but you crossed the line a bit.”

“…Mmm.”

Yes, obviously tailing is not good. In addition, it’s a personal time given to Chloe, and it means that the two of them have been watching it all along.

But I couldn’t bear to blame Estelle. I let out a small sigh and talked to Estelle, who lowered her head.

“Estel, after that… You don’t have to do that. Everyone makes mistakes, right?”

“…That’s something I don’t want to hear from a playboy who has had more women.”

Ugh.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Chloe is so sincere…”

“Huh.”

Estelle snorted and turned her head away. And she said to Chloe.

“…I apologize for following you secretly. But I hate the fact that Abel is with another woman, but I was more anxious because it was you.”

“Yes?”

“Chloe, you were the first person here to show affection to Abel!”

…That’s right. A kiss on the cheek was a very light expression of affection, but it was the first thing I did anyway.

Chloe must have remembered that time and said with her cheeks blushing a little embarrassed.

“What does that have to do with that!? What the!”

“I was so reckless back then, but you don’t know how reckless I can be during a date. So anxious! Change it and think about it. If I was in Chloe’s shoes and Chloe was in my shoes, wouldn’t you be anxious?”

“Ugh…”

Chloe could not refute. She thought for a moment, then nodded her head.

“…I understand.”

…That’s it. I still don’t know what women’s hearts are like.

“Thank you for understanding…Wait, why should I thank you? After all, you are a stray cat who steals Abel again.”

“Yes? Take away! Please say it was divided.”

“I don’t even want to share.”

She said to Celine, who was laughing nonchalantly next to the two arguing again.

“It’s getting close to dinnertime, and now that it’s like this, let’s all just go out to dinner together. I called Elfriede, Saint Cynthia, and Alicia from the dorm.”

“That’s not a bad idea!”

“Don’t strain yourself unnecessarily here, let’s go right away.”

Estel, Celine, and Chloe all stood up, agreeing to my proposal. They were people I met at different times and in different places, but they were all people who became my lovers now.

To think that such pretty people are my lovers.

Then, I suddenly had an idea.

If I hadn’t entered the world of this novel and met the three people, what kind of life would I be living by now? Would you still be chased by homework bombs and tight part-time jobs?

“…Here is so much better.”

“Yes?”

“No. Come on.”

Thanking for coming to this world once again, I went down the hill with the three of them to call the rest of the inn.

“…Ha, ha ha.”

The red-haired man laughed.

He is Levius Grospel. A member of the same warriors as Abel and Elfride Bathory, he was on his way to Ephesus. He was due to attend a regular briefing meeting in three days.

I passed the border area safely, and it was time to arrive at Ephesus with one day left.

However, on the way to Ephesus, he was stranded on a certain forest road, precisely under the direct jurisdiction of the city of Mephis. It wasn’t because someone in the party was sick, or because Levius had business to look after.

It was not their will, but they were forcibly bound by someone else’s will. And there was only one thing that dared to forcibly bind the warriors.

“f*ck, really…”

Levius raised his dual daggers. And he stood in front of his fallen comrades, Natalie, Sonia, and Astria, glaring at the disaster in front of him.

There was a monster whose entire body was covered with upper armor as hard as steel, and flapped wings that were especially large compared to its body. It was a fairly famous monster with white feathery wings.

The chief gatekeeper located on the hill of Ephesus in the past. Also known as the ‘Steel Angel’. It opened its mouth.

“…Hero…You are not the hero I am looking for.”

“…What?”

“It wasn’t here…”

Leaving meaningful words behind, the monster flapped its wings and flew up and disappeared. Seeing that, Levius could only stare at the sky in vain.

“What are you talking about, that monster…”
