I Became a Hero Traveling With Saint Mesgaki

Chapter 21 – If I don’t trust the hero, who will believe me~♥

Episode 21

The village chief, who was watching our rakugo, spoke cautiously.

“Hero, now we need to tie the two of you together.”

“…I will.”

Wouldn’t it be better for me to tie it than for a stranger to tie it?

The village chief politely handed over the rope.

As I approached with the rope, the saintess covered her mouth with her hand and giggled.

“Kyaa~♡ I hate bondage play~! You pervert ♡ beast ♡”

…A b*tch like an idiot.

“I’ll tie it up so that it comes off easily. Look back.”

“Yes~♡”

The saintess held out her hands behind her back, and Chloe held out her hands as well.

When I came back to tie her hands, I was a little embarrassed by their clothes. It was because her white and smooth back, wing bones, and waist were completely exposed.

To be honest, I didn’t think much of Chloe because she had the body of a child, but she was a little more like a saint…

“Hero, what are you doing? You should tie it up quickly.”

“…Yes.”

Okay, let’s just close our eyes and get rid of it quickly.

“It’s done.”

Chloe turned her head slightly and looked behind her.

“How do I get rid of it?”

“It’s loosely tied, so it should come undone with a little bit of strength.”

“Oh, really?”

No, what if I solve it? When I looked at her in bewilderment, Chloe realized that something was wrong.

“…Ah, that’s right. Should I be tied up?”

Chloe gave a hehehe and laughed awkwardly. Seeing that youthful smile, she remembered her nephew who had been laughing and thinking. Look how cute you are

“I’ll tie it up again.”

“Yes.”

She tied Chloe’s hands again and helped the saintess and Chloe get on her cart. Chloe got on the cart and said.

“I really feel like I’m being dragged somewhere….”

“Hero~♡ Where are you taking us~♡ Kidnapper♡”

“…I’m not dragging it.”

If I was dragging you, I’d already dump you in the river, b*tch.

It seems that the preparations are complete, and we can start soon.

“Chief, let’s go.”

“Yes, I will guide you.”

“Wait a minute, warrior♡”

The saintess called me with a smile on her eyes. When I looked at her with her eyes asking why, she said as if it were natural for a saintess to do so.

“I have to bless you. How are you going to fight an ogre with those bug-like skills without a blessing?”

“Ah.”

But my hands were tied. How do you do that to give a blessing?

“Come closer.”

“Yes.”

According to the saintess’ words, I approached. Seeing that I always touch my body when blessing, it seems like physical contact is necessary.

However, the saintess was not that much of a human being, and she gave me a blessing in a way I never expected.

Took.

“Huh!?”

“Ugh…”

I was surprised by the saintess’ actions, and I was also surprised by Chloe who was watching from her side. A soft sensation felt on his forehead.

The saintess’ smooth, round forehead touched my forehead. I didn’t know that physical contact to give a blessing would be done in this way. The saintess breathed her holy power into me.

Soliara’s Grace

I could feel the mighty divine power dwelling in my body. A feeling of power surging through the body.

“It’s okay~♡… Hero, why is your expression like that?”

“…Yes? What am i?”

“…Aha♡ Did you feel your heart pounding because of my forehead touching~? Compassionate warrior ♡”

“No!!!”

“Pufufu♡”

…Not really.

The saintess stopped laughing and spoke in a serious voice.

“Hero, let me explain a little about ogres.”

“Oh, yes.”

I have to listen to the explanation of the Encyclopedia of Monsters.

“Ogres are more dangerous and stronger monsters than trolls, which are classified as high-level monsters. It’s bigger and stronger. The speed is quite fast, not suitable for a giant. To put it simply, you can see it as a troll’s higher compatibility.”

“…That must be strong.”

“Yes, it is very strong. If there is no blessing, the insect-like hero will die in one shot~♡”

“Are there any weaknesses?”

“You have a bad head like a troll. Maybe even dumber than a troll. Just like a hero♡”

“Um.”

Then you might as well start off with a flare-up like you did when fighting the trolls.

“Another thing is that the skin is very hard, but the hero has a holy sword, so you don’t have to keep that in mind.”

“I see.”

After hearing the ogre’s explanation, I was about to tell the village chief to leave. However, the village chief was looking at us with curious eyes. Specifically, a saint.

…Aren’t you surprised that the saintess is so knowledgeable about monsters? So do i.

“Chief.”

“…Ah! Yes, warrior.”

“Let’s go.”

I dragged a cart behind the head of the village and followed. With the blessing, two people could effortlessly pull a heavy cart loaded with offerings.

As expected, blessings are cheat keys.

I came into the mountains and came up to where I could see the valley. At that time, the village chief who was leading the way suddenly stopped. At the same time, I stopped the cart and looked at the village chief.

“The hero and his companions.”

“Yes?”

“You have to be careful here.”

…It seems that this is the domain of ogres.

“…Yes, I understand.”

“Then let’s keep going.”

I’m a little nervous. I’ve seen ogres in games and comics, but their weight will be different in real life.

I was following him while maintaining a moderate level of tension when I suddenly heard a woman crying from behind.

“?”

“Hey, hehehe! Selling us off to some ogre and running away… A trashy hero…!”

Suddenly, what bullsh*t…Ah, you’re acting.

The saintess was really sold and she wept and sobbed like a sad person. Even Chloe, who was next to her, seemed a little surprised by that realism.

…But he’s really good at acting. Almost like an acting target?

Thump!

The ground shook with a sudden roar. Then the village chief trembled and told me.

“…Yo, hero, they are coming.”

“…Yes.”

After a few more roars, a giant with a mace appeared from a cave in the valley. The giant moved with heavy steps and approached us, and the village chief lowered his head while trembling all over.

Since I am also acting as a porter, I followed the village chief and bowed my head.

“That’s it! Village chief, welcome.”

Is that an ogre?

Looking at it in person, it’s f*cking big. Its arms were also much longer and thicker than those of trolls. I think her legs are a bit short, but that’s because of her proportions. Compared to a human, her legs were huge.

In one hand, lightly holding a huge mace that could crush a person.

The feeling of intimidation is no joke. I feel like a mouse placed in front of a cat. If I was crushed by that gigantic hand, my body would crumble in an instant.

“Oh, Ogre-nim, I brought you the offering I was supposed to give this time. Ogre-sama also caught the two strangers he wanted and did this…”

When the village chief pointed at the saintess and Chloe, the saintess began to put her whole body into acting.

“Huh…I don’t like it…I don’t like having ogre children…!”

…Hey, isn’t that going too far?

However, the ogre seemed rather happy seeing the saintess she hated, and praised the village chief with a big smile.

“Gwoah! Chief, very well done! I will praise you!”

“Thank you, ogre.”

“By the way, who is the man next to you, hey!”

“This is the porter brought in to move the cart.”

The ogre rubbed his chin in an inappropriate way and stared at me.

Are you suspicious? I can’t do that…

“…I don’t need a man, that’s it.”

f*ck!

“Ugh…!”

“…!”

The ogre suddenly swung his mace. The mace landed right next to me, thanks to which I…

Kwaang-!

Abel was blown away by the mace. Seeing Abel hit the rock and fall to the ground, Gregorio looked at the ogre with a surprised face.

“…Oh, ogre? How…”

“Gwoah man, I didn’t like it so I killed it. Go back alone, chief.”

Gregorio gulped. He judged that if he showed concern for the hero here, the ogre, who knew he was acting, could endanger everyone.

“……Yes.”

Gregorio bowed his head in greeting and left leisurely. Estelle, who was in the cart, looked at Gregorio and thought.

‘You’re calm. I was worried that I would mess things up.’

As soon as Gregorio left, the ogre laughed loudly as if he was in a good mood.

“Gwoah! Satisfied! The brothers will be satisfied to have such women in their hands!”

“…Are some ogres trying to lay their hands on me…!”

Estelle continued her acting. She looked at Chloe and wondered if she needed to act even under these circumstances, but Estelle did not stop.

“Wow! Of course! Playing with pretty girls is the best pastime!”

“…It’s like a garbage monster.”

“Think freely, human! That doesn’t change your situation, gwahhh!”

The ogre smiled and approached the cart. And he stretched out his hand toward the cart with his huge, mighty hand.

“…Hero, will you throw it?”

“Is that so?”

Estel took out the holy sword of order she had hidden among the offerings and threw it with all her might in the direction Abel had gone. Seeing this, the ogre was taken aback, then turned to Estelle and said,

“…What are you doing? That man is already dead, hey!”

Estelle wiped away the expression she had been acting on a moment ago and said with a fishy smile.

“…Who is killing people at will? On the topic of monsters.”

“Wow! After being hit by my mace, where can a human live…”

It was then. Pak, with a small noise, something broke through the wind and came out from the side.

Suddenly!

“…That’s right?”

Thump!

The ogre’s left arm fell to the floor. Blood began to flow from the cross section of his arm, which had been neatly severed.

The ogre looked sideways. There was a white-haired man holding a greatsword stained with his own blood. It was the man he thought the ogre had killed with a mace a moment ago.

“Two.”

Abel spat bloody spit on the floor. If it weren’t for her blessing, her whole body would have been crushed, but Abel’s body, which had received her blessing, was not broken even by the ogre’s mighty mace. She was only slightly injured.

Estelle and Chloe, who were also in the cart, got up after loosening the loose ropes, and the ogre who saw it realized that he had been tricked.

“That’s it!!! Humans, how dare you deceive me!”

“You are stupid to fall for things like this~♡”

The ogre was furious that he had been tricked.

“Graaa!!!”

Hearing the ogre’s shout, Abel and Chloe covered their ears.

“Kyaaak!”

“f*ck, I’m going to go out of my eardrum!”

However, Estelle kept her calm voice even after hearing the ogre’s shouts.

“… Champion, that is the signal for the ogre to call his allies.”

“Yes?”

“The village chief said that. A group of ogres rule the village. Maybe they’ll come back.”

“…Then what should I do?”

If there was only one ogre, it would be a big problem if there were many. Even though she was blessed, Abel knew she wasn’t that strong.

“What can I do~♡ I have to kill it~♡”

“So how…”

“Hero, please deal with the one-armed ogre here. I’ll take responsibility for the ogres that come in. Even a poor warrior can do that much, right?”

“…Is the saintess okay?”

Estelle said with her characteristic cheeky smile at her words that seemed to be concerned about herself.

“I’m not X bop like the warrior ♡”

“…Okay. But, saintess.”

“Yes~?”

“Do you trust me, a crap?”

She’s weak. Does she believe she can defeat the ogre here? Abel asked. Looking at Abel like that, Estelle drew her arc with the corner of her eye.

“If I don’t trust the hero, who will believe me~&”
