Nighttime.
Brendan, Ivy, and Falfa were still left in Lana’s house waiting for Retto and Ruby’s return. They are both took quite some time and it made The three of them feel worried.
While they are in the house. The mother of Rin came in to cook for then dinner. The three appreciate it because their stomach is already rumbling and wanting to bite down food.
But what’s served to them is something they didn't expect.
“What… is this?”
Asked Brendan as he look toward the bowl in front of him with a bit of disgust. Of course, he made a smile when the mother who bothers to cook it took a glance at him. Probably, he won't want to hurt her feelings.
“Stir-fried Nature worm and herbs from the back of our house.”
It was a bowl of Nature worm. Nature worms are types of monsters that can be eaten by humans. The worm has a high protein value. These worms are the main food of the people living in this town.

“What was that?”The chief wondered around. While the chief wasn’t looking Falfa made her move.“Wind!”With the help of her wild magic, she blasted the chief from his position before he was able to burn the other rope acting as the only support of the hanging bridge.The chief had his torch fell to the ground. Brendan throws Ivy to the ground.“?”“Falfa!”Falfa slipped her hold and was immediately saved by Brendan’s hand. Brendan with all of his strength pulled Falfa and toss her to the ground. He then followed afterward.While the old chief was rubbing his head after the magic attack. The heroes stand in front of him.“You really shouldn’t underestimate heroes.”Ivy said.“You didn’t even do anything useful.”“I didn’t want to hurt an old man like you, but I have no choice.”Fal
Entering the townhouse still with the old chief. The heroes were welcomed by a young lady seating in a chair facing directly to the door. As if it was intentionally put in that position. There is no one but the girl in the room. “Who is this girl?” “Eris… She’s granddaughter…” “How dare you beat down my grandfather? He’s the most important person in this town… If you’re here to save the heroes earlier. The three of you are wasting your time. The ket opening the lock in the dungeon was already gone in my hands… I tossed it away in an old well.” “She is still little but she surely has that irritating personality.” “Where is this old well?” Falfa asked the chief. “Behind my house. But the bottom of the well gave out years ago, and it's all dried up. You’ll never get the key back.” The three started to have a hopeless expression on their face. While Brendan is gripping his fist wanting to beat down the old man. Even
Successfully retrieving back their weapons. Retto and everyone immediately goes outside to battle the upcoming extraterrestrial in the town of Nell. Looking to the destruction the monsters already made and the people lost their lives. We can say that the Player's party is a bit late on responding. It's not entirely their fault.“How horrible…”Ivy muttered seeing the dead people laying on the ground. Other people running and others ate alive by monsters.Saving everyone in a flash is impossible. No one ever think that something like this would happen.The Player's party was feeling guilty.Rin immediately panics himself and runs toward the direction of Lana’s house remembering his mother and Lana. He hastily runs with desperation.“Brendan follows Rin… I have a feeling that he's going to be reckless.”“Roger.”Brendan nods and followed Rin. Monsters come to block the
There are too many of them. Defeating them all is impossible. Fighting them is not making a significant change on the battlefield. Extraterrestrial appearing in front of us is stalling us on saving people. We barely move from the spot we first fight. At this rate, my energy would be dry out. Something that I can’t let from happening. Octopus extraterrestrial rapidly move forward and launched its tentacles in my direction. When its tentacles reached my attacking range. I immediately sliced them down into pieces. I move toward its giant head and thrust my sword inside. From the inside, I move my sword downward until my sword reached the soil. I immediately turned my glance to Falfa, Ruby, and the useless cat. “We’re running! We can’t defeat these monsters in our state.” “What are you talking about, Retto? The mission said that we need to relocate the people from this town to Eden city. If we failed to do that we’re going to die.” Ruby re
After defeating the remaining extraterrestrial. Together with the fourth hero will all walk toward the passage. Rapidly running we immediately catch up to the residents. “Retto!” Falfa said and immediately run toward me. “I’m glad to see everyone fine.” “That’s all thanks to Ivy’s monster detection skill. She leads all of us to the safest way possible.” The white cat cuts in with a smug face. “Suck on you Retto! I’m not useless after all. I save all of these people alone by myself.” The white cat was boasting herself with her chest high up. The little kids approached her and play. “Wow, so cute.” “So soft.” “Hey! I’m not a toy you know! Get off your hands away from me.” “Here enjoy this fish.” A little girl gives Ivy a fish. Ivy’s eyes sparkled and started to have a drooling face. The little girl looks very cute and innocent. She took the offer and started chomping the fish with her small
The night ended and we were unable to save the whole town of Nell. To be called heroes by these people, I felt shame on my body.In my perspective hero are people who can break through any odds. If the party of the fourth hero wasn’t here to aid us. There’s a possibility that I’m already dead.Still, I have thanks to the fourth hero. They save us and the people. Added, they know the location of Eden city.“You know the location of Eden city?”“Of course, that’s our current base. Hundred years ago they said the other players build the city with the angel named Dia. Right now, the angel was suddenly gone missing and we the heroes party became responsible for it since they disappeared.”“Are there people living there right now?”“Only a few and some knights.”“Is it possible to relocate these people who just lost their home to Eden city? These people don’
The fourth hero, Ruti Lightcrest… I heard a lot about her in my knight days. She is the only chosen hero born with royal blood. Her story and portraits are all over the Fiore kingdom.Having the name of Lightcrest within her. She is influential and charismatic in many ways. On top of that, was her melancholic eyes and peerless beauty. She’s cool and calm all the time. She is unpredictable and powerful. I admired her a lot together with the other heroes when I was still a child. Knights give her a prime example of what a knight should become.But right now, I feel like I just found out about her, it is fun to know. I wouldn't say I’m having fun. But it was interesting… That the cool beauty Ruti, the fourth hero, doesn’t have a sense of direction.“I know it's shocking, but that is the truth. We can’t tell these people that the legendary hero doesn’t have a sense of direction. It will tarnish her glorified image. I
We let the residents eat dinner first. The kids seem to enjoy their meal and after that, they all go to sleep in their tents. The same goes for their parents who are exhausted from walking for the entire day.Around the camp, the fourth hero sets abarrier to chase away monsters or demons trying to attack us while sleeping.We also took turns guarding the camp just in case an extraterrestrial came to attack us. We can’t be dependent on the barrier. There is a possibility of it getting destroyed after all.Currently, the one on the guards was Brendan, paired with Mato.Now in the tent with Ruti and Sonya. I discussed with them what Mato told me earlier. A little embarrassed, Ruti nods with her face flustered red.“I’m sorry…”“It’s fine, no need to apologize. I had already promised Mato that I wouldn’t tell the residents. This way we can build trust in each other.”“I st
