“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“There is no way to go back other than the one known by the headpriest. Which reminds me, why are you guys here if the demon king has been defeated? 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
SARAH CAMPBELL POV:“Huff…Huff…”How long have I been running? My legs, they are so heavy.After Will’s disappearance, I don’t think I have had any time to rest properly. After I ran away from David’s father with the girl who is connected to Will, bunch of monsters started chasing me out of nowhere. 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. I never knew a body could be so
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
|Hey, Will, what would you do if you can't do something, like no matter how hard you try, you just can't do it?| Tch! Why did I have to think of this right now? "Urg…" I stand back up the best I can but it seems my body won't hold out much longer. "Ahahaha…I must have been a real fool to think that I could do it without going beyond the limits." "Are you finally going to give up?" The ruler of demons is standing in front of me, with his eery presence and his dominant strength. "I will commend you for resisting so much but sadly, it has to end. You can blame that god for giving you such a handicap." "Handicap, huh…" He is not wrong though. I would have never thought there would be so many obstacles on my path. If I had known, perhaps I wouldn't have…I see. "Fufufu, I see. That's why I thought about it now, huh." "Amazing. You smile even in front of your death. You truly were amazing." The bastard raises his hand and makes a giant black
"Welcome heroes. Welcome to our world." Among the almost hundred people that are standing before us, a woman wearing a stylish armor is talking. Her helmet doesn't show even the color of her hair or her eyes. Most of the others people also wear armors but she has the most stylish. Some of them are wearing indigo priest attire with hoods hiding their faces. "What is happening?" "What is this? Is this a prank?" The guys present all start looking around with dumb surprised faces. But I guess I must have the same kind of face right now. "I can't believe it." I blurt it out without thinking. But I don't think anyone would resent me if they knew. That fucking old bastard was telling the truth. The whole time, it was all true. Right when I was about to give up and accept that I was mistaken, I am shown the way. "I know that you may be surprised but we beg you to remain calm as we will explain everything." "Hey!! What the fuck
Soon after me, all the other people who were brought to the room also wakes up and receives the same explanation. Ian, however, asks if it is possible to move and talk to other people. "Yes, of course, we don't mean to frighten you in any way." After the soldier answers him, he leaves his bed and to another one, without even looking at me. That's good. I won't move a finger should you guys do anything after all. A bit after, the door opens and three of those indigo priests enter. I thought Ian would start something as the door is opened but to my surprise, there is nothing going on. I can't see clearly who he is with because of all the decorations they put on the beds. "Once again, we greet you, heroes from another world." "From another world?" Apparently, there is a girl here as well. And from where her voice came, she must be with Ian. "Yes, it is surely confusing for you but you aren't on what you called earth right now. You are on
I still remember that conversation since it was one of the few we had where he wasn't yelling or trying to kill me. "There is one skill that you must get if you ever make it there. It is the only skill truly amazing that was hidden among trashes. That skill, I neglected it and regretted it as well. If I knew how much of a fool I was then." "I don't understand anything of what you are saying anyway so please, just let me sleep." "You will certainly, but for now, remember the name of the skill: Amplify." *** I didn't really believe in all this back then and I only wanted to run away from you at the time, but now, I would almost want to say thank you, almost. "You…don't you understand what-" "I don't care, Ian. You guys have your problems and I have my own. And it is not like we need all of them to teach us, right?" "What are you going on ab-" I grab the priest's hand while Ian is talking. If I let them go with thi
A guy comes out from the knight. He is wearing a red armor and the gold lining on it creates the shape of a predator's jaw which is ready to bite. His brown hair are attached behind his head, allowing his face to be seen clearly. He has no scar on his face and "Vice-captain of the order, Sir Telestal, the kingdom thanks you for your cooperation. We hope t-" "Spare me the pleasantries. We all know you don't mean it." "I see. Then, I shall take my leave." The guy leaves just like that. And the others turn around and start talking among themselves, as if to flee from my eyes. What are you all feeling guilty about? It is perfectly understandable that the weaks are cast away. I see nothing wrong with that. "Let's go, then." Telestal turns around and starts walking. I follow him and as we get past the other knights, I notice that some of them have recent wounds. Are they already at war? We leave the courtyard through an iron gate and
