Roaring Roaring-

People’s whispers grew as attention focused on Selene, who was blocking Damian’s path. I looked at her anxiously in the crowd.

I wonder if I might get hurt for no reason.

Damian lifted the corner of his scar-filled mouth. That sight gave me goosebumps, as if I was looking at a devil immersed in murder rather than a glorious warrior.

“Okay, let’s see who deserves it”

Whoop- whoop- whoop-

Saying that, Damien kicked away the rags. The rag flew after Damian’s kick and hit the wall of a shopping street.

It flew so hard that the wall it hit was cracked.

The building owner could not bear to get angry at Damien and expressed his anger by trampling on the rags.

“Don’t touch him!”

Selene shouted at the building owner. I quickly ran over and stopped the building owner.

“Stop it!”

“Put this away. This bastard owns my store!”

“How can it be this person’s fault? There is another guy who kicked!”

The building owner and I argued for a while, and Selene looked at me affectionately, then stared at Damien with sharp eyes that were significantly different from before.

“You have nice eyes, kid”

“Damian, is this really the will of the warrior and the goddess?”

“I am the warrior chosen by that woman. Of course my will is the goddess’s will”

“Then the goddess made a mistake”

Who can say that the goddess’s will was a mistake?

After saying those words, Selene pulled out the sword from her belt. Damian was just smiling as if he was enjoying this situation.

While I was trying to stop the building owner, I was startled and ran towards him as if he was going to fight at any moment.

Fuck.

It’s been a while since I used it, but I’m not sure if it will work.

Ugh-

I created a mental image and composed my mind.

Golden magic waved within my body.

Fortunately, since I was facing the hero, the power given by the goddess worked properly. And the output was adjusted very weakly so that only Damian could feel it.

Just to say that I have something similar to a warrior…

“… You… ?”

“Please stop now. Hero Damian”

“Hi… Heald?”

I stood in front of Damian, wrapping Selene behind her back. Damian looked a little surprised and slowly looked at me from head to toe. And then he slowly smiled.

Please just go!

I prayed deeply.

“It’s fun, it’s fun. I guess that woman did it”

Fortunately, Damian just blinked as if he was interested and didn’t react in any way. I definitely felt like Damian was a more dangerous squire than Valdena. My mouth is dry due to nervousness.

Selene whimpered and tried to get rid of me, but I didn’t move due to my strength, and she held onto my collar tightly, looking surprised.

“Please stop”

“Kkkk… okay… You should save on delicious food”

Damian, who looked like he was going to swing that huge sword at any moment, looked at me, licked his lips and took a step back.

Then, he lifted the rags that were lying on the wall with one hand, as if he were carrying something. The unconscious rag was hanging miserably.

Suddenly, Damian, who was about to turn away, walked towards me again. and-

Chueup-

I sucked it on my cheek.

Yes, I really just sucked it!

What the fuck!

My body swayed as I felt my entire cheek being ripped off.

“Aaagh! Healdniyyy!”

Selene screamed and rushed at Damian to throw him away. Of course, Damian let go of my cheek before that with a popping sound.

The cheeks were swollen from red to blue, as if bitten by a huge leech.

I stared blankly ahead, as if my soul had been ripped out as well.

“See you next time, cutie♥”

Damien, the wild muscle girl, gave me a wink and a hand kiss that did not suit me at all, and then disappeared in a flashy manner.

I heard later that Selene was shaking me while crying for a long time.

#

A dark and humid basement of a building.

The only thing that illuminated the surroundings was a faintly burning lamp.

In a dirty, rotten place, boxes large and small were piled up like a tower.

And some of them had open lids, filled with gold and jewels, or filled with empty-eyed skulls.

A place where corpses and jewels are piled up like a tomb.

In the center, there was a large chair that looked as if it had been made from the bones of monsters and beasts, and did not fit the gloomy space at all.

“ came. Boss”

“Okay”

At that time, the door to the underground space opened and a person came in. The man threw what he was carrying in his arms into a corner, yawned, and sat down on the throne he had made.

Cross your legs as you are used to, put your arms on the armrests, and stick out your fingers.

Then the old woman who had greeted him leisurely approached him, placed a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and lit it.

Hueup- Huuuu-

A thin cloud of smoke blew out from the mouth of the person sitting in the chair. The man savored the taste of the cigarette and looked carefully at the items he had brought earlier.

“Tsk. There’s nothing useful”

“Recently, the Kingdom Knights have been installing it. Ah, tsk”

“Should I leave Lavita”

Then he snapped his finger at the sword lying in the corner. The sword flew as if it were alive and fit into the boss’s hand.

“Just picking up this trash”

The boss sneered and tightened his fingers as he examined the sword.

The sword broke in two with a loud bang.

The name ‘Heald’s’ was written on the torn face of the sword.

“What do you think? Charles?”

the boss asked, puffing on his cigarette.

The old woman who put out the cigarette chuckled.

“Sorry. Since this is my first time seeing it, I know it’s a useful item… ”

The person who answered walked slowly from behind the shadows. It’s the rags of courtesy. It was a woman with light purple hair, one side of her face disfigured by burns.

The woman called Charles wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and spoke with emotionless eyes.

“More than that, my Charles seems to be wagging his tail without me knowing”

“… There is no such fact”

“No. Hehehe, it was very cool, wasn’t it? The prince on a white horse personally helped me”

Charles thought of the owner of the sword that had been cut in two. The man who covered himself while he was being beaten by a warrior. And that companion, a blonde woman.

They were two people who got along very well and shined very brightly. It can’t be compared to Charles himself at all…

Charles swept his scar-filled face, his face still unchanged.

“If you command me, I will kill you. Damian”

“As expected, it’s our Charles. I heard you’re very smart”

Amidst the grave of jewels, corpses, and cigarette smoke, a woman covered in scars flashed red eyes.

boss. The red eyes of the warrior Damian drew an arc like a crescent moon.

Ragged Charles, who had been beaten by Damien, kneeled down on one knee politely.

And let’s reach out of our sleeves

Shook-

Suddenly, a short dagger came out and sharpened its teeth.

“It’s a shame because I saved him so well. What will you do next time you get caught?”

“I will commit suicide”

Damian grinned. Then I thought about the man I had kissed earlier. It didn’t look like anything special, but it had something left behind by the goddess, that girl.

“The prince was stupid enough to not know that Charles was my dog”

“How can foolish things understand the great Damian?”

“Yes, that’s right. But I’m getting tired of this. I need to move quickly”

“Damian, please do as you wish”

Damian laughed and lit another cigarette.

“That male is mine. It looked delicious. So don’t stare. Shall our Charles go with that blonde girl?”

“Yes. The person who blocks Damian’s path… ”

Charles’s purple eyes shone bright blue.

“I will kill you in pain”

A warrior with the power to destroy everything on the battlefield and a symbol of victory.

But in reality, he is the king of countless shadows and the owner of endless gold.

The warrior Damian laughed horribly.

“Hing, Hilde, you’re really okay”

“Yes… I’m fine… ”

“I don’t think so”

With a sallow face and dark circles under my eyes, I was walking back to the inn, half-supported by Selene. There was a sword in one hand,

I was also able to obtain the cheapest item with Selene’s help. I ate too much snacks before to buy something expensive.

Selene anxiously rubbed my cheek that had been exploited by Damian. Normally I would feel good, but this time the shock was so strong that I could hardly recover.

The sucking force is so strong that it feels like my cheeks were just grabbed and torn apart.

‘Maybe it’s related to the disappearance case.’

I think it might be related to the recent incident that occurred in Lavita. No matter how you look at it, Damian is an even more evil hero than Valdena.

As someone who has been given a noble mission by the goddess, I am the one who must confront him.

However, Damian’s strength, which I felt at first glance, was superior to Valdena’s. Even if coercive force is used, victory may not be guaranteed.

‘I don’t have enough strength’

As expected, the conclusion was that strong colleagues were needed. I looked at Selene for a long time.

After all, he makes her a warrior.

“That… Hilde, would you like to go back first? I have more to live”

“Oh really? Let’s go together then”

Just as I was composing myself, Selene uncrossed her arms and let me go near the inn. Her face turned red as if she was a little embarrassed.

“Ah… no… It’s a personal item…alone… ”

“Oh, is that so? Then I’ll go back first”

“Yes, I’ll be there soon”

Seeing that she seemed somewhat embarrassed, I accepted her request without asking any further questions. Selene smiled brightly and quickly walked away from me.

I watched her disappear down the alley and entered the inn.
