2024-10-29 19:42:56That stupid girl jumps to my neck and almost makes my hood falls right as we reach the guards at the gates. Weird enough, it seems it helps us as they all simply smile and let us through, without even asking anything.
Once inside, Warren brings us to the right part of the city. We walk for a few minutes until we reach a fountain.
“We will meet here in three hours top. I brought you to the entertainement district of the city since you guys want to visit a little. Don’t make yourself known and don’t start a commotion, please.”
“Okay.”
“Yeah, yeah. Just leave us already.”
Oriana’s attitude towards Warren is quite condescending. I don’t like it. I hate it in fact. It is just like those guys. They were always abusing people, always acting high and mighty. I should kill her. Yeah, let’s kill her and then find them and kill them as w…

What do you see beyond the hill? CHAPTER 53: WHEN TWO GIRLS MEET (3)
Sarah’s armor is impressive but I wonder how can a skirt protect her. And it is short enough to reveal part of her thighs. No, now is not the time to think about this. We have a serious problem here. But those thighs…“Who is she, hubby?” Oriana, you are really…When people say that some are oblivious even to their own death, I guess you are included among those people.“Hubby?!!” Sarah immediately reacts and manifests her aura. It is impressive that she managed to learn it already. I guess I was truly no genius. Though hers still has no color.“Wait, there is a good reason for all this.” I try to walk to her but she raises her hand and I immediately understand: there is nothing more to do until her anger settles.“Lightning spear.” She uses her skill and a whitish spear made of lightning appears in her hand. “Will Otun. As a heretic, the church has issued a death penalty for your na

“Thanks for healing me.”After we fell into the hole, I was able to grab on a stake standing there before we hit the bottom. My arm got dislocated as a result but still, it allowed us to land without much damage. And now that she has healed my arm, I can take care of the commander. Though I can’t feel his presence anymore. I wonder if…nah, I don’t think he would die so easily.“I didn’t do it for you.”“You really seem angry. Do you want me to apologize?”“Fuck off!” She slaps me so hard the sound reverberates throughout we are in.There is barely any lights in here and I can’t even hear the sounds of the fight between David and Warren. Just how deep is this cave?“Okay.” I stand up but then she does the same thing and brings out her sword.“As soon as you will move from here, I will kill you.”“I have asked you earlier

“The first time I came to see you, David sent me. I wanted to join his group because I thought they were cool and since I just arrived in our school, I wanted to make friends that would be fun to be around with. He told me that if I wanted to walk with them, I should do something that would hurt you. But when I saw you that day, eating tranquilly with a dirty uniform filled with shoes’ marks and dirt on your body. I…”“You felt pity. That’s why I am saying-”“No, listen. It is true and I admit it, that day and even after that, I felt pity towards you and I thought it was stupid so I went to see David about it. That’s when he started trying to flirt with me. But as time went by and I was talking with you, I realized it. You were actually the coolest guy I ever met, maybe even cooler than my father.”Sarah places her hands on her chest now and smiles warmly, gently, sincerely. What she is about to say must be

“Orah!! Orah!! Orah!!” The first, the second, the third and the fourth stance all connect, sending the guy up the air. I greet him with the fifth stance as his burning body falls towards me. But unexpectedly, he kicks my foot and we are both pushed back.It seems the effect of Sarah’s skill has stopped. The commander lands away and immediately, a gust of wind sweeps his body and extinguishes the flames that caught him. I will need to give him a good strike with lightning.“This guy, I can barely see him. How are you fighting against such an opponent?” Sarah comes next to me and brandishes her sword against the commander.“Just focus on the sounds he makes. There is a sound similar to a knife scratching against a wall when he moves really fast. Put all your focus on that. ““Okay, got it.”“Redirecting priority.” The commander takes the same posture and launches his attack with aggres

“You should dodge that.” Warren warns me as he moves to the side but I take the first stance and receive the guy by blocking his spear’s thrust. The shock makes my body vibrates. That was a very powerful attack. Still, if he is charcoal, then I am the fire that will set him ablaze. But I wonder…“Why did you fall so low?”What happened to the over-confident guy who always walk with pride, as if the world was his to do as he sees fit. Now, what I have in front of me looks nothing like what I remembered of god’ favorite.“Ahhh!!”David pushes even further with his spear and I am slowly gliding on the ground because of the strength he is applying.“David, stop!! Have you forgotten what happened to the others?!!” Hm…apparently, this skill is dangerous.By shifting my body to the side, I deflect David’s spear then kicks it to break the embered weapon. As it breaks, Da

It has been three days since we left the city. Over the time, I am getting used to eat without salt. Though I can feel that I am not at hundred percent of my strength because of this.The only other problem I have is Oriana.“Come on, even today, you will sleep on a tree.”“Yeah. Now, just shut up and sleep.”Ever since we left the city, she has been so clingy that I can’t stay less than two meters away from her. I wonder what is happening with her.“Fufufu.” As always, Warren just laughs at the scene and continue polishing his sword. He has been doing that for two days now and you can’t even see the rust on it anymore. Though it still doesn’t look too sharp.“Warren, I have waiting to ask you about this. This sword. Where does it come from? Why did it rust? And how come there is an emerald-colored part on it?”“That’s a lot of questions. You were really wai

WILL OTUN POV: When the sun rises, Oriana isn’t to my side like when I fell but right on top of me. Curiously, she doesn’t smell much. We have been bathing in rivers without soap or anything until now so I thought our body odor would be really strong but surely, they must be used to it. “Hmmm…Are you up?” She caresses my face and to my own astonishment, I don’t react like usual. I thought I would lose control but I surprisingly don’t. “Yeah. Can you get off me now?” “As I thought, that girl did something to you. You don’t seem interested in me anymore.” “I was never interested to begin with, Oriana.” But maybe you are right. It’s true that since that day, I don’t feel that much bothered by the ‘heightened senses’ curse. But still, it wouldn’t be good to stay like this. I push her to the side and stand up, only to see three bodies on the floor near us. “Assassins?” Those guys are wearing black masks and hoods. I

After crying for almost ten minutes, I think my heart has settled down, the oppressive feeling on my chest is gone. Now, I am only tired. I want to sleep. My eyes hurt. My whole body hurts. I am resting on Emilia’s laps and they are surprisingly comfy. I wonder if mine are the same. Will never accepted to rest on them… That idiot.“Emilia, I am sorry. I really wanted to come to your wedding.”“Oh, don’t worry. We had it rescheduled.”“Eh?!!” I raise my head and she is smiling like nothing is wrong with what she said. “Why?!”“Because there two certain idiots who couldn’t even come.”“Two?” Wait, for sure, I am the first. But who is the se…Looking at Telestal, I get an answer to my question without asking it. “Will is a wanted criminal and surely, he will be killed sooner or later.

HIRVIN OTUN POV:“Sigh…”Walking really is tiring. I have been walking for a week and it is seriously getting tiresome now. It’s true that it helps me as well since I got to hear some news here and there on my way to the capital.The most surprising one I heard was about Stephenson, he was sighted near the capital as well. The travellers talking about him said that a pervert was seen chasing a woman, butt naked, with only his top armor on. It could have been anybody but the description of the armror matches his too much.As for the other rumors, one was about a hole that suddenly appeared in a city where there was a fight among heroes. I didn’t know those brats fought among each other to the point it was known to the public. I wonder who it was. Surely, Tennessee’s daughter was involved. She is taking too much after her mother; no, actually, from both parents. Especially the tendency to involve in everything thing, eve

I can’t even tell I manage to survive their assault the first time.Even now, more than two weeks later, they are still on my tail. Whenever I rest for more than four hours, I can hear them coming, stomping on everything as they look for me.If I was alone, I would probably fight them, but sadly, I am not.“Even after carrying you around for all this time, you are still heavy as hell.”I put the girl down near a tree with enough shade and sit to rest my back a bit.It is really difficult to carry someone who is unconscious.

Shouldn’t they send you back?”“How do you know the heroes are sent back when they have defeated the demon king?” This woman…she is starting to piss me off with her questions.“Calm down. Will’s master was a hero in this world as well. Isn’t that right?” Will, how much did you reveal to this guy? Did you trust him that much?Telestal looks at me and after I nod, the heavy atmosphere that was settling dissipates.“Then, can you help us?” One of the heroes finally open his mouth. It was about time, I thought you guys were mute.“Help you?” The whole lot of them stand up like a single body and move over to me.“Yes, bring us back, please. You came to pick up Will, right? Then bring us back!!”&ld

“Wait a minute, aren’t you Will’s father?” It seems Gordon’s son recognized me. I wonder when he saw me. I don’t remember hanging out with their children that much.“W-what?” The knight who was advancing to me turns around with a trembling voice then looks back at me with teary eyes. “Is it true?”He asks me as if it would change his whole life.“What do you-”“Are you truly his master?” He asks a different question now.“His master?” Wait, did he know Will? “Did you perhaps know him?”“I…” The knight kneels before me and lowers his head. “I am the one who failed to educate him when he came to this world. Should you blame anyone for his death, I should be the one to bear that grudge.”“Well, that was unexpected.”Since I found someone who knew him, I decided to stick with the group of heroes for

The skin is too tough for the arrows!”When I reach the place of the battles, most of the houses have been levelled up by the monsters in the area. What surprises me is that they seem to come from the sea. Why and how were they able to swim to here? What even happen that could lead to this situation?“Why do I even think about it?”I run past the mercenaries who are fighting and grab one of the two knights who came earlier by the neck.“What is hap-”I don’t give him the time to retaliate in any way and goes through the horde of monsters coming while holding him.The trolls start swinging their arms as soon as I am near them.

“Get serious?” The Valkyrie frowns and a sudden fighting intent fills the place, making the air heavier. I guess I got her mad. “You arrogant little shit.”The knight with her grabs his sword with two hands and releases his aura to the fullest as well. Well, why not?“let’s see.” I release my aura completely as well and although it is a bit disappointing, I was already aware of the fact that the Valkyrie had a stronger aura.Sadly for her, it is not with the power of your aura alone that you can win a fight.“Be ready!!”“Yes!!”After screaming to the knight, the Valkyrie raises her hands and unleashes a powerful move full of aura. Sigh…You don’t seem to understand. Surely, they are waiting for me to use my skill and create a counter. You never even thought that I could have more than one skill.“That’s why it’s difficult to get serious wi

As she releases her aura, it creates a pressure all around me. Yeah, the Valkyries are still quite powerful.“But this is not really threatening.”“He is a hero!! Be careful!” Under the warning of the guy I was trying to kill just now, the Valkyrie stops and backs away immediately.“All the heroes were brought back to the principality of the god of law and balance for further training, why did you stay behind?”The other knigths join her back, only the guy I was sure to kill stays behind me.“Valkyire of power, I believe he is not with the heroes who came.” One of the knights start speaking with him. It would seem he was present during the summoning ceremony.“Eh? Then what? You are saying he came here by himself?”“I don’t know. But we will need to investigate.”From everything they just said, it seems they don’t know Will defeated the demon ki

In less than two minutes, he puts the fish on a plate and the pink color is shining even more while the fish smells really good. I remove my gauntlets while he prepares the dressing and puts it all around the fish.“Here you go.” He puts the plate before me and the smell is even more fragrant now.“Thank you.”“Wait!!!” Right as I am about to dig into it, the cook stops me, presenting me a small bowl of water. Oh, I forgot.“Sorry, I forgot a little.”“No worries.” The etiquette as they say. I wash my hands first then dig into the fish.AThis…this isn’t as good as I remember. It is true that it smells good but the taste isn’t as I remember. It used to be better. It used to be the best. So how come?“Sir, is there a problem?” The cook seems to be concerned about me.

At my request, the fog puts its finger on her grave once again but this time, Florencia appears. She looks exactly as if she was alive. How come?“Hirvin?”“Y-yes.” I am so surprised to hear her voice that I fumble and bite my tongue. I never thought she would look like this. “I-I-”“What is happening? This…I was not here before, and then I came back?”“It is only a dream, don’t worry.” I wonder how the place where you are now looks like. But I won’t ask. I shouldn’t ask.“I see. Well, it’s true that I do tend to dream a lot. I always had, right?”“Yeah, you were quite the big dreamer, quite the naïve one as well.”“Fufufu. You are always the same. You are too honest.”“Hehe. Not as much as you.”After I say that, silence falls and we don’t say anything for almost a minute.
