Chapter 31 – …Was a bit cool, hero♥
Episode 31
The monster that appeared was a chimera. I don’t know if it’s called that name here, but it’s probably right considering the writer’s ability to snap.
The Chimera looked around once and opened its mouth at the guard right next to it.
“Keah!!!”
A soldier guarding the border must have some skill, but the movement was so fast that such a soldier couldn’t even react.
…Honestly, I couldn’t follow it with my eyes either.
People panicked and started to run away, and the guards raised their spears to defeat the monsters, leaving their dead comrades behind.
This time I lifted my front paw. If you hit it with its forepaw, the guards will surely lose their lives again.
…You have to save it.
My body was one step faster than my rational judgment.
“Wait… Hero!”
By the time I realized it, I had already blocked the guard with the Holy Sword.
What now? I came without receiving a blessing because I thought I had to ask for it. The Chimera had already started swinging his paws. Can I fend off those huge paws with sheer force?
…It’s already too late to worry. You already did If you were going to think about it, you should have been calm. Even if more people die, you should have chosen a sure way.
It was all useless worry.
Now that it’s like this, if you can’t do it, you’ll die.
The monsters are mighty and I have no blessings. For me, only the holy sword, which is always a critical hit against monsters, and this body that has grown a little.
I clenched the holy sword with both hands and followed the movement to block the chimera’s paws.
Hooung!
It’s fast. I can’t follow with my eyes Can I get the timing right?
At that time, I heard a familiar voice shouting from behind.
“Hero! Now listen to the sword side down to the left!!!”
“!”
I followed that directive. And….
Boom!!!
“…Kuh!”
The blade of the holy sword rang out. The shock was transmitted through my entire body through the sword.
The Chimera’s paws were blocked by the holy sword. Thanks to the advice from behind, I was able to get the timing right.
But it wasn’t over yet. As if Chimera was intending to blow me away, she pushed me without losing her strength.
“Keuugh!?”
I tried to hold on with all my strength, but the monster’s power was too strong. I’m going to lose my balance and fall before I fly away. If so, I…
《 Sacred Sword 》
At that moment, the enormous force pushing me away disappeared. When I glanced up, the chimera was coughing up blood.
With a thump, the chimera’s giant collapsed. Unusually, the upper body fell to the left and the lower body to the right. The middle was cut very neatly. Is this possible…
“…Hero!”
…It’s just that woman.
After slicing her chimera with her single knife, the saintess, who showed no sign of exhaustion, came running, grabbed my face, and shouted.
“Where did you get hurt!? Are you not hurt? It’s okay, right!?”
…The cheek you’re holding hurts more.
The saintess examined my body here and there to see if there were any wounds. Then she looked really surprised. It is the first time I have seen such a surprised expression on the face of the saintess. Her twinkling amber eyes showed concern for me.
…I’m sorry.
“…I’m fine, saintess.”
“…What are you doing really recklessly! Chimera is a high-level monster! Maybe get a blessing and leave…!”
“Then it’s too late.”
I turned my gaze to the guard I had been protecting. He was looking at me with more surprised eyes than the saintess. The saintess followed my gaze and looked at him, then she looked at me again.
“I didn’t have time to be blessed.”
“…Ha ha.”
A sigh of relief though. I guess you knew that I was fine.
“…What were you really trying to do? If I hadn’t…”
“I did it because the saintess was there.”
The saintess’ pupils slightly widened.
Actually, I didn’t think much of it, but to be honest, I made an excuse because I was afraid I would get scolded. Also, didn’t the saintess actually save her neatly?
“……Even if you say that, I won’t forgive you. If she behaves unexpectedly next time, then know how to tie her in chains and lock her up.”
…So far?
“…You know how reckless you were?”
“Yes, I will reflect.”
The saintess sighed deeply. She must have been really worried. I wish I could treat you like this normally.
The saintess glared at me slightly, but her eyes soon curved like crescent moons. She spoke to me with her usual eye smile and smile.
“…But she was like a hero~ & You didn’t forget that a hero was someone who saved people, and you carved it into her head well~ &”
“…The saintess said so.”
“Yes, that’s right. Well done, warrior&”
It’s been a while since I’ve been praised by a saintess. She took a slight step back from her and muttered something.
“…Was a bit cool, hero&”
“What? Please speak a little louder.”
I really didn’t hear it. I knew what the ant was talking about.
Hearing my words, the saintess smiled and put her index finger to her lips.
“It’s a secret~♡”

“…Hero…”
Chloe was unable to react. Abel ran away in an instant, and Estelle followed as soon as she grasped it. But Chloe was dazed, and she could only look at them.
Even when Abel stepped in front of the guards in an instant and blocked the Chimera’s paws. Only after the chimera’s paws were swung, did Chloe move her body.
But it was too late. Estelle, who had already moved ahead of time, assisted Abel and immediately sliced her chimera with her s*x act.
It was Estelle who saved Abel by making full use of the power that the pope would use.
Abel went out to save people without hesitation, and Estelle was able to help him right away. And Chloe who couldn’t do anything.
Obviously he could have helped himself. However, her fear of monsters consumed her first, and when Abel and Estelle acted, she did nothing.
“…I don’t like it.”
Chloe felt relieved and she felt an indescribable emotion as she watched Abel and Estelle chatter as if they were having fun.

“Fu, fufufu ♡ Warrior fool ♡ Fool ♡”
“…It’s noisy. Don’t laugh.”
“What should I do with something funny~♡ What kind of warrior sprains his back~♡”
…f*ck.
It was good until she stopped Chimera, but the problem seems to be that she received the shock as it was and took a toll on her body. While helping the guards clean up, her back broke.
Thanks to that, I was lying face down on the floor, and the saintess was fixing my back and talking sh*t like this.
Heh heh, b*tch.
“…Are you alright, hero?”
“Ah…It’s okay. With the saintess, you’ll get well soon.”
You don’t have to worry so much, Chloe. The saintess here talks like sh*t, but above all, it’s a sure cure.
“A foolish warrior who twists his back while lifting a wooden plank♡ Can’t even use his strength properly♡”
“…Be quiet.”
“A crappy male who can’t even use his waist properly♡”
“What are you talking about!?”
The saintess giggled and laughed. Seriously f*ck you, see you later.
“Hero.”
Then the guards approached us.
“Why is that?”
“Could you excuse me for a minute?”
“Yes?…It doesn’t matter.”
“…Everyone at attention.”
As the eldest of them gave the order, the guards all stood at attention.
“Salute to the brave.”
“Thank you very much, hero!”
…Why is this embarrassing?
“Ah… Are you here to say thanks?”
“Yes. The hero saved the guards and citizens here.”
You’re misunderstanding something. I only saved one person. The rest I didn’t do.
I pointed to the saintess who was treating my back.
“That is the saintess…”
“The hero did it~♡”
…What are you talking about?
I whispered to her saintess.
“Saintess, what are you talking about?”
“We have to return it to the hero’s credit, we’ll get more rewards later♡ Are you an idiot, the hero~?”
“…Ah.”
At the regular briefing session? That’s it too.
…But it’s a bit strange to say that I did something I didn’t do.
“It doesn’t matter anyway, since the saintess and the hero are a pair. You don’t have to feel any remorse.”
“…Well.”
“And I don’t really want to reveal that I’m different from the other saints. So, the warrior’s reputation and achievements are good, and I’m good as it is. Killing two birds with one stone~♡”
…If you say so.
“A saintess?”
“…It was only possible because of the help of the saintess. It is not my own strength.”
“No, how humble you can be…”
Looking like the captain of the guardhouse, he was thrilled and even shed tears.
…If you come out like that, my conscience is pricked, mister.
“I am proud that someone like you is a champion of our empire. I will definitely bring this up to the top so that it can be reported to His Majesty the Emperor.”
“Ha ha…”
The captain of the guard and the guards were chatting and enjoying each other. Their faces were full of joy and relief that they were alive.
Among them was the guard I rescued myself. He sneaked forward and leaned over me.
“Thank you very much, hero!”
“Look, Charlie. Haven’t you already thanked me?”
“Captain, leave it alone. That guy will have a special feeling because the warrior directly protects him.”
“Oh, is that so? You should thank the hero for the rest of your life.”
Your name is Charlie.
“If it wasn’t for the hero, all your children would have been orphaned! Be careful, Charlie.”
“…You have children?”
You look pretty young.
“He made an accident! I already have two kids, hahahaha!”
At the words of a fellow soldier, Charlie nodded her head.
“You saved not only me, but also the future of my children. I will live without forgetting this grace for the rest of my life.”
Charlie held out his hand. Looking at his hand, I smiled comfortably as I held his hand.
Feeling the warmth of the person I saved is such a rewarding thing.
“I just did the obvious thing as a hero.”
…As expected, being a hero isn’t bad.
