I’m a Hero, but I Gave Up Saving the World

27 – First meeting with Saint Beatrice

After a warrior was appointed, the ritual that naturally followed was the selection of party members.

Veronica Beatrice was a hero who protected the holy sword from Gert Durante, the “worst traitor in history,” and a top graduate of the convent that year, so anyone could see that she should become the next saint of the warrior’s party.

She herself wanted to go on an adventure with the hero, so she should be excited now that the time has come… Beatrice’s expression was rotten when she was called out in front of Kwak Dong-soo.

It was because Kwak Dong-soo and Lucy von Letlea, the hopes of humanity, were drinking alcohol with women on either side of them.

“Kiya~~!!! Be brave for this taste! hey! Bring more drinks! And tell that ugly bitch to go home on her own!! Ha ha ha! At first, I thought I was being called to a strange world and it was going to be fucked up, but I’m glad I came.”

A pitiful figure running to the end of debauchery.

Is that really a warrior?

To Beatrice, who has lived with alcohol and color as sins, Kwak Dong-soo’s actions seemed nothing but the essence of corruption.

Still, once officially appointed warrior.

Beatrice raised the collar of her saint’s dress and bowed politely.

“Nice to meet you, warrior. My name is Veronica Beatrice.”

“Oh, the new sister? Do you have a full chest? Come on. Let’s touch it.”

“… … … … .”

‘It’s the limit now.’

In less than ten seconds, Beatrice ran out.

In many ways, I couldn’t stand it.

“Huh… ! Heo-eok… ! That’s not a warrior. There’s no way a person like that who only chooses to do what the Goddess tells him not to do can’t be a real hero. You can’t find the slightest bit of dignity.”

The future of mankind could not be entrusted to such a person who seemed to personify the word fall.

No, even if I leave it with a big heart, that guy can’t beat the devil 100%.

I can already see the second coming of the garbage warrior who couldn’t protect his hometown when he was young.

“Not with that person. I don’t see him as a hero capable of defeating my parents’ enemy, Guerrena Duranthe.”

「Intentionally weak people are being chosen as heroes」

Arwen Undress’s words suddenly come to mind.

No, she just relayed what she heard from Helen Walker.

Helen Walker is a genius who received the title of sage, which is only allowed to the wisest wizard on the continent of Pangea, at the age of 33, the youngest ever.

He not only excelled in his talent as a magician, but also left a lot of great achievements as a politician.

Helen is especially renowned for her insight into how things make sense.

She wouldn’t spread false rumors without any basis.

However, it was hard to believe at first that the weak were deliberately selected as heroes.

who?

why?

do you mean you did that?

Are you a goddess? the king? Or some mysterious power or secret society?

No one could conceive of the gains they would gain from doing such a thing.

As expected, this issue seemed to be overshadowed by Helen.

Moreover, fortunately, even if someone had malicious intent and manipulated it so that only strange people were selected and summoned, this time his plan was disrupted.

Besides Kwak Dong-soo, another person who could become a hero was summoned.

A secret plan began to swirl in Beatrice’s mind.

“If Lucy von Letlea dies, or suffers an incapacitating injury… Faust, his spare, becomes a hero. There is no other way to kill Gert… ”

—At that time, the capital of the Aurelia Kingdom, Auren City, was a lively city where the birth of a new era was felt.

Ambitious young people who wanted to join the warrior party flocked to the capital one after another, and even merchants and nobles who wanted to get their share began to increase, making it difficult to walk on the streets.

In addition, refugees from other villages were mixed in, and the city’s population rapidly increased.

Naturally, it was not easy to find Faust, a young man who had not become a hero, among the countless crowds.

Beatrice wandered the city every day, visiting places where Faust was likely to be.

Then one day, I found a girl surrounded by people and being stoned.

Even the boys who hadn’t lost their breasts were excitedly throwing rocks.

“Yah! A family of traitors! Let’s kill!”

“Creepy!!! Are you saying that a human with the same blood as that woman committed herself to the Demon King’s army?”

“A bitch like that should be publicly executed! Did you summon the dragon that raided the village a while ago?!”

“What brought you to the capital! A traitor!”

“Isn’t there a hero in the capital?”

“then! Are you trying to assassinate the hero?!”

A hasty misunderstanding without any grounds drove people to more and more madness, and now rocks, which are prone to concussions if hit incorrectly, often start to fly away.

Blocked by a wall of crowds, unable to do anything, the girl who was being stoned cried bitterly and protested.

“No! No! I want to be a member of the hero’s party… I-I know how to use magic too! Bo, can I show you?”

“Everyone be careful!! I finally show my true colors!”

“He’s trying to kill us all! The family of the traitor!!”

“They must be planning to kill us, kill the hero, and cross over to the Demon Continent to join the traitor!”

“That’s not it… I studied hard, so I learned magic to help you and the hero—”

“Let’s kill that bitch before she can use her magic!!”

“Kill it!!!!”

“Stop it!!! Shame on you!!!”

When a girl’s life was in danger, Beatrice broke into the crowd and covered her.

When a beautiful saintess in a nun’s uniform appeared in front of their eyes, the people quickly calmed down.

“Whatever this child’s family did has nothing to do with him. Isn’t this person saying that he came to join the warrior’s party? You’re trying to kill an innocent girl by stepping on it, Goddess Irene wouldn’t want this!!”

The church was a group with strong authority independent of the state.

‘Don’t fight with religious people. The advice, “There is nothing to be gained,” is going around like a proverb.

The crowd that received Beatrice’s reprimand dissipated like fog, awkwardly scratching the back of their heads.

“Go, thank you, saintess… Because you saved me.”

“no. I was just doing the right thing. I didn’t want to lose a good person who would help the hero and save the world.”

“Joe, are you a good person? me? I, I, I am a traitor’s family. Uh, I just want to somehow help the hero and at least wash away his sins.”

“As I said before, the sins of your family are not your sins. Please don’t hate people too much. In fact, it’s because I was attacked by a dragon a while ago and my heart has become ugly.”

“… … … … .”

Yes.

The case of a dragon appearing out of nowhere in a nearby village, creating havoc and disappearing, was also one of the causes of people flocking to the capital.

The traitor’s family was the most likely target for the anger of those who were victimized by the demons.

“Don’t be sad because you didn’t do anything wrong. to… Hey, what’s your name?”

“Three, my name is Serena. Last name… There is none.”

As her father was stripped of her title, Serena’s last name naturally disappeared.

Beatrice tilted her head, as if remembering something.

“Serena… Where did we meet?”

“Oh, no. I couldn’t have met the saintess because I lived hidden in a cave or forest with my mother.”

“Yes? It’s a name I’ve heard somewhere… what. I guess I was mistaken. By the way, Serena, are you looking for the hero?”

“Yes. I want to join the warrior party no matter what.”

“I feel a great determination in that statement. May I ask why?”

“I am… Entering the hero’s party… You did a good job… again… I will live with my family. happily… that’s my dream saintess… If you know where the warrior is, please let me know. Please help me at least get an interview!”

“… Sorry, but give up.”

“Saintess! Does the saintess also suspect that I am a traitor’s family?!”

“That’s not it, Serena. It’s because it’s useless to hope for the current hero.”

Beatrice explained in detail how pathetic a human named Kwak Dong-soo was.

However, Serena insisted on joining the warrior party.

She didn’t care about the personality or skills of the hero, and it seemed that her purpose was just to join the party.

Reluctantly, Beatrice took Serena to the villa, the residence of the hero.

A separate palace built by the warrior’s direct request.

It was a place I deliberately avoided visiting because I did not want to see the shamelessness of the warrior asking for a vacation home that was not essential in the midst of severe financial difficulties due to the invasion of the dragon and the summoning of the warrior.

However, at the entrance to the villa, Beatrice found Faust, whom she had been searching for so long, and unknowingly screamed out loud.

“Warrior… !!”

“uh… ? That’s a warrior… ?”

Serena looked Faust up and down and said admiringly.

“To think that such a cool person is a hero… Nonsense.”

“Oh no, not that. He’s not a warrior. I’m out of words. That person is Faust, a friend of the hero!”

“… … … … … .”

Serena can’t keep her mouth shut when she sees Faust’s face.

Beatrice felt strangely irritated and impatient.

“anyway! The hero will be playing at the villa, so go quickly and ask him to join the party or not. Don’t mind Faust.”

“Yes… But the saintess, it seems that she suddenly became angry… ”

“I’m not angry! Just in case, you’d better pay no attention to Faust! I heard that man hates wizards so much? In addition, they have an extreme nun fetish, and openly say that they won’t date unless they are saints! So, you’d better give up your false hopes!”

“—Who has a fetish?”

A low-pitched voice echoing from the throat.

Beatrice caught the person in charge at the moment of spreading false information to Serena.

Concerned that he kept hearing his name, Faust took his own steps and approached.

“Who are you? What’s going on here? I would advise you to get as far away from here as possible. Right now, inside the palace, a bastard named Kwak Dong-soo is doing something embarrassing by calling girls with smooth faces and talking to them. You guys are pretty too, so if Kwak Dong-soo catches sight of you, you will be in trouble.”

“Yes, pretty… My, am I pretty? hehehe, is that so? Do you, Mr. Faust, like girls like me?”

“? how do you know my name Who are you? And where did the scruffy girl next to you go?”

Serena, who confirmed the information that the hero was inside, had disappeared somewhere.

Suddenly, Beatrice was left alone with Faust.

The saintess’ face trembled with tension and excitement, like a fan who met her longing idol at an autograph event.
