Only the Party Members Returned, Not the Hero

19. The Unforgiving Saint (3)

19.

The reception room of the Errantera Temple.

I sat comfortably on the sofa, staring blankly at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

Wobble.

Looks expensive.

I didn’t like the attitude of the leader of the knights, Darhan, but I thought it was because the clergy sometimes went crazy while praying or their personality was like an idiot.

Ellen sat across from Ellen, lost in her thoughts.

Ellen’s figure, with her right arm all black, appears over and over again.

The curse of the goddess, although Ellen acted as if nothing was wrong, she was by no means unconcerned.

It is a curse that the subject is a goddess.

Before Ellen’s return, she had watched Ellen writhe and languish in her pain, so she never intended to repeat the pain again.

“Ellen.”

“Yes.”

EL leaned forward slightly.

I wanted to do that again, so I pulled my body back and leaned against the sofa for a long time.

“Would you believe me if I had a plan for you?”

El’s direct words.

If you ask if you can trust EL.

I have to believe it, what can I do?

If I felt human disappointment with Tania and Elish, I think what happened with EL was a case of unintentional accident after knowing the circumstances.

At one point, he went on a pilgrimage and apologized to me when he came back.

It’s true that we didn’t get along because we had too much disagreement, and it’s true that EL, who was trying to edify us, and I, who didn’t intend to be edified, didn’t get along, and it’s also true that we gradually gave up on each other.

“Believe me, because I am good.”

“… ….”

“… ….”

EL looks at me with an expression that he heard something he couldn’t hear.

“Why is your expression like that? Do you believe me or not?”

“No, it’s not like that…. Great.”

ELLE looked around her and quickly sat down on my couch.

It was a sofa that was made wide enough for 1.5 People, but since I’m on the big side, EL naturally stuck right next to me. Like in a wagon.

I put on a disgusted expression, but EL didn’t care.

“No, a little further away….”

“Darhan is right-handed and appears to wield a longsword, but his main weapon is a dagger hidden behind his back. He’s good at hand-to-hand combat, and he’s good at fighting in the mud. You could say he doesn’t fit the dignity of the Knights of E-Ran’s Tel.”

What are you talking about out of nowhere?

I felt the same way from the first time I saw Darhan. At least this guy is not Sannim.

I’ve never told anyone else, but people who have had the habit of obsessively looking around are different in which part of their eyes they apply strength to.

If I combine my touch and EL’s information.

Darhan, like me, is a person who has been rolling in the back alley or unpaid for quite some time.

“Can you win?”

Her whispering voice.

As I looked at the sparkling blue eyes, I imagined.

My appearance fighting Darhan.

It looks like he trained quite a bit, and since he has been fighting irregularly, there will be unexpected hits, but even so, if he properly learns swordsmanship later, he will have refined movements.

“I don’t have confidence.”

“Yes?”

“Jill yourself.”

Nevertheless.

I couldn’t imagine being defeated by him.

“I knew it. If you win the sparring with Darhan, a rift will open between Raihandro and Darhan. Raihandro is a person who terribly hates losing his honor.”

“Would it be a big blow for the captain of the knights to lose to the hero?”

“Because you are regarded as the most incompetent novice warrior in history. What matters is the image. The image of the leader of the knights of Erantel who was defeated by that insignificant hero.”

It’s kind of like what I’ve heard.

“Not that I think so.”

As if EL had understood my feelings, he looked at me with blue eyes.

Not even a mind reader.

“… Anyway, so what next?”

“I want to instill fear in Raihandro by punishing Darhan. With appropriate pressure. Whatever you decorate, it hints at the possibility of being destroyed at the hands of a hero.”

“It’s quite vicious.”

“Yes, I am a woman who gets vicious from time to time.”

“Is it okay to be a saint?”

“There is a difference between a saint and a wicked woman. Just like the difference between a hero and forgiveness is one inch.”

“Don’t force yourself.”

“Hush, it seems to be coming soon.”

The timing was good, and I started hearing the sound of Raihandro’s footsteps.

As if nothing had happened, EL got up from my couch and sat back on his own.

Pictures begin to form in the saintess’ head piece by piece.

***

“Ah, it’s been a while, saintess. I think it is the blessing of Goddess Erantera who asked me to meet the saintess that the schedule coincides with the saintess at this moment when I stopped by the Erantera Lake after busily touring the cities of the entire continent.”

“Nice to meet you, Elder Raihandro. How have you been?”

As soon as the door to the reception room is opened, a lively voice pretending to be good fills the room.

Raihandro Lergen walked quickly and Darhan slowly walked closer to EL.

Darhan stood at a certain distance, lightly bowing to EL.

Of course, he didn’t say hello to me.

I didn’t even say hello to the two of them.

“Sure, of course I had a good time eating good food and sleeping in good places. Doesn’t it look pretty good? I am healthy.”

He spreads his arms slightly to show off how well he’s been doing. However, dirt and stains that could be seen even with a normal eye were left here and there on Raihandro’s clothes.

At the time I thought it was made on purpose.

“Elder Raihandro came from volunteering in the border area until yesterday. He even skipped meals on his bare floor in order to propagate Erantera and practice love and mercy….”

“Darhan, you man. Why do you say that As a religious person, that’s just everyday life. If it were you, would you report to me every single side dish that you ate?”

Darhan mentions Raihandro’s service at an astonishing timing, and dirt stains seem to have just been buried on Raihandro’s sleeves.

Elle smiled a little because she found the clumsy effort she was finally seeing.

“… Elder Raihandro really, always does things differently than the rest of us.”

Why haven’t I seen things like this before?

Raihandro starts to manage his expression by forcing the corner of his mouth to go up slightly as if he thought that his strategy worked when EL smiled.

“I’m sorry, saintess. It’s been a while since Darhan became the knight commander, so I’m teaching him various things. That’s why I always take him with me, so I share my daily life too much.”

“Do you have anything to apologize for, Elder? It only puts my mind at ease because there is a reliable person like the Knight Commander Darhan next to someone who is humble like the elder and doesn’t shy away from dirty work.”

“I don’t know what to do with you saying that.”

Happiness.

hahahahahoho.

This is how I feel when I see the two people trying to appeal to EL with goodness through a sham play.

Has a plague.

“Ah, this is Hero Ellen.”

EL introduced me to Rai Handro, and Rai Handro respectfully put one hand on his chest and bowed his head, his expression unchanged.

“His greetings are late. Hello, warrior. My name is Raihandro Lergen, the fifth elder of the Church of Erantera. The friend behind me is Darhan, the leader of the Erantel Knights. I am always grateful to the Goddess for the warrior’s service for humanity.”

Why do you give thanks to the goddess for the service of the warrior?

You have to do it directly to me. It’s a caseless bastard.

“Hero Ellen. It is an honor to meet you.”

After the ceremonial shout, Raihandro pinned his waist and turned to Darhan and said.

“From now on, I think I will have to have a personal interview with the saintess, but I’m sorry, Darhan, would you wait outside?”

“Okay. Please call me if you have any business.”

Darhan bowed his head to Raihandro and turned to look at me.

“…… ?”

Why are you looking at me?

As I was looking at Darhan with an expression of what are you looking at, Raihandro’s eyes also turned to me.

So, I’m going to talk with EL, so everyone except for you and I are asking you to leave.

“El, then I will wait outside. The air here seems a bit stuffy.”

“Oh, is that so? Maybe I should open the window….”

“It’s okay, I just need to get some fresh air outside.”

After patting EL on the shoulder, I turn her body and stride towards the door of the reception room.

The moment I put my hand on EL’s shoulder, Raihandro’s eyes seemed to widen, but now I have a lot of problems to solve, but I wasn’t free enough to even consider the feelings of my boyfriend.

The sound of Darhan’s footsteps followed me out of the reception room.

***

Outside the reception room, an open space with sofas and drinks appropriately provided so that waiters can rest in the spacious hallway.

As soon as I came out of the reception room, I sat down on the sofa and crossed my legs.

Dar Han, who came out after me, takes one look at me, then he sits across from me with a dumbfounded laugh.

“I will crawl out as fast as I can….”

Darhan’s small murmur.

There was quite a distance between the sofas, so originally, it would have been a small voice that made me wonder if it was true, but thanks to Elish, my five senses were amplified, and to me, it was as clear as a whisper from the side.

I am basically a soft-hearted person.

I’m not good at hitting anyone.

By the way, I have an unreasonable schedule to slaughter someone by the order of the saintess, but the person in question is chewing on me in front of me.

In that case, what?

It is impossible for the warrior to not do justice.

I slowly picked up the glass of water that was on the table next to me.

The strategy I will proceed from now on is the name I have chosen.

‘Another piece of sh*t’.

Since it was made under the direction of the saintess, wouldn’t I be a believer of God?

Take it sweetly.

God wills it.
