The next day was the festival of the beasts, full of various accidents.

We decided to quickly leave the camp as soon as dawn broke.

Why?

“I will manage it properly!!!”

-Stop.

“I understand!!! From now on, all prisoners are equal!!! I will make it a rule of the union, and even of the beast people!!!”

‘… ‘I live and live and see cats saluting.’

Even if we leave secretly this early in the morning, wouldn’t Amine rush over and salute us politely?

If we leisurely ate breakfast here, it was clear that prisoners would flock in like a cloud to see us off.

Since what happened yesterday was a big deal, it was a serious burden.

So we set off without even looking back.

-He… Cha, may the Creator’s blessings be with you. Nyaaa!!!

“… I really don’t know if he’s going to be okay. If the beast-human alliance collapses, it will be a problem for Hohenstein as well.”

“God’s wrath just came down yesterday, so it’ll be okay for a while!!”

“Rinne, what do you think? Amine, can he really lead the beastman union?”

“Well, that’s… Among the purebloods, he is the most gentle and well-liked by his subordinates. It might be surprisingly okay.”

It was a bit weird because it felt like we were responsible for causing the accident and leaving the cleanup up to Amine, but whatever.

We prayed for the well-being of the Beastin Union and left the Beastin Corps Union.

Recruitment of the third hero, Rinne.

Hidden dungeon ‘Spirit Corridor’ conquered.

Subdue the Four Heavenly Kings Asterios.

Reform of the Confederacy, which is steeped in bloodlineism.

By leaving behind achievements that will remain in history.

* * * * * *

After that day, we rode across the vast continent again.

The boring world map movement (unskippable, real-time movement) has begun again.

however…

Early part of the trip. Unlike when there were only Elizabeth, Arthur, and employees.

​

Even though it’s been almost two weeks since I’ve been traveling on horseback, I’ve never been bored.

-Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.

“Now that I think about it, Linne, you have become very good at riding a horse.”

“Hehe. Because my benefactor supported me, I worked hard.”

“Still, you’re amazing!! Most wizards are weak at horseback riding, so I was even prepared to ride them on my back!!”

“… No, behind the woman, with the woman riding. Who likes it? It’s gross.”

“Puhup. That’s right.”

“I’m not saying I’m doing it because I like it!!!? I just… .”

‘Wow, our relationship has really improved.’

Just listening to my companions chatting while riding horses made the time go by so quickly.

I smiled as I heard that, then lowered my flight altitude and landed right next to Arthur.

-Flap flutter. Sigh.

“Linne, don’t tease Arthur too much, right? Surprisingly, Arthur tends to keep these things in mind.”

“Cheer, wife, angel!? Well, what did I… my… … .”

As soon as I was next to him, Arthur forgot to shake his head in embarrassment and gradually began to look blank.

A trickle of saliva flowed from his gaping mouth.

“… Wow.”

‘Write it. ‘Isn’t it enough to get used to it by this point?’

“Arthur, you’re drooling. Wait. I’ll clean it for you.”

– Squeeze.

So I summoned a wet towel. I gently wiped Arthur’s chin and lips.

The face turns red in proportion to how clean it gets.

I blushed a little too much to say I was embarrassed about drooling, but…

​

I didn’t care.

I’ve seen Arthur react like that almost every day since I gave him a hug last time.

I knew from experience that things would calm down in about 10 minutes, so I didn’t care and flew to Rinne’s side this time.

-Flap flutter.

“And Rinne, it’s new to you, but you’re really amazing. It must have been difficult for you to ride a horse because of the tail… As expected, hard work!”

“Hehe, hehe. that is… Ugh, yes.”

Rinne laughs as if she is embarrassed as I sit next to her and shower her with compliments.

At the same time, her face also began to heat up little by little.

The animal ears attached to my hair also started fluttering.

Anyway, there is something rewarding about being praised.

“Hehe, how fortunate I am that Rinne joined the party… .”

“Hero, that’s all.”

“… Yes?”

However, my plan to praise her for being like this by saying she was thinner went to waste.

It was because of Elizabeth’s voice that came from behind with a sigh.

“Normally it’s okay, but don’t do that now. Because that look is really harmful to women’s hearts.”

“Savior, acting like that would be too irritating to Rinne, so why don’t you stop.”

“… … ?”

Elizabeth was trying to dissuade me, and Lucia was helping me.

It didn’t take long to realize the intention.

“… Oh, is it about that again?”

“Tto. How many times have we… since that happened? .”

‘oh my. ‘Nagging again.’

These two are clearly referring to ‘a certain change’ that occurred in me after that incident.

But my expression suddenly became sour.

In most cases, I really want to listen to it, but no matter how much I listen to it, I don’t understand it at all.

So I increased my altitude again as if I was running away.

-Flutter, flutter.

“I understand? Anyway, I’ll do some research again.”

“Wait a minute, hero… .”

-Shuuuuk.

As I flapped my wings faster, my body instantly began to fly upward.

This was thanks to the fact that I had become accustomed to the ‘Celestria Wing’ to the point where I could now do aerobatics in the air if I wanted to.

As a result, I reached an altitude of almost 500 meters in just a few seconds…

It spread its wings and began to look around.

-Flutter.

‘Umm… As expected, there are strangely no monsters.’

It didn’t take long to confirm that the only monsters within 5km were small bugs.

This range is a world away from not long ago when tracking was only possible within 1km.

This is just a ring of angels floating above my head. It was thanks to the ‘Celestria Ring’.

[Through faithful actions, we gained 9,231 believers. Holy power increases by +0.99.]

[The title ‘Archangel’ finally evolves to ‘Second Apostle of the Lord.’]

[Acquiring authority as a sub-administrator… failure. We will try again when the subject enters the new area.]

[Because the sacred power value has reached 10.0, the power ‘Sacred Heaven – Celestria Ring’ has been added.]

lately. When the wings were spread during the revolution that took place in the Beast-Man Union, the divine power increased spontaneously and eventually reached its maximum level.

At the same time, the halo obtained at the same time had a very useful effect.

A simple but powerful effect that enhances the flight and finding abilities of the wings by five times just by floating them above your head.

It was a power that made one feel the reward of reaching the maximum sacred power.

But soon, a sigh escaped my lips.

‘But, I wonder why my companions are telling me not to use something like this.’

“Ha… .”

Because of this good power, the companions kept nagging him to never use it in front of others.

I couldn’t even understand the reason why I shouldn’t use it.

What did they say? ‘The soft light shines on the face, making it look much more mysterious and lovely’? ‘It’s so cute it’s bad for your heart’? ‘I feel bad’?

We can’t let such a good skill lie dormant for such a ridiculous reason. cancer.

So, after finishing the search, I went back down to my group.

I wanted to share the search results with my companions and explain once again the fraudulent nature of this power.

-Shuuuk.

“There are no monsters worth worrying about within a 5km radius. Maybe it’s because it’s Nordkirchen, but there were strangely no monsters.”

“You warrior… .”

“Anyway, it’s awesome, right? I can’t believe it can be detected this far away. Hehehe.”

-slap. Booby booby.

“… … … .”

I snuggled up next to Elizabeth, who was wide awake.

I waved the Halo in front of her in that state.

Although, due to the nature of the halo hanging above my head, it looked like I was pressing my cheek against her shoulder. anyway.

Perhaps my appeal was successful, as her cheeks turned red.

-Whaaaah.

“… Okay, okay, stop biting my cheek. I feel like my heart will explode.”

“Hehe. I wish I knew.”

“Keuhum. Savior, no matter how effective it is… .”

-Hwiik. Snap, boo-boo-boo-boo-boo.

“Lucia is watching this too. The performance is so good. There’s no reason not to use it, right?”

“… … yes. That’s good. Really.”

“Kuhuhu.”

In addition, I succeeded in making Lucia’s cheeks bright red.

I ended up making all of my companions’ faces turn bright red…

Well, I guess it doesn’t matter. Because it means good blood circulation.

“Anyway, then what do you want for dinner tonight? It’s getting colder, so warm soup… .”

After that, I continued chatting as I flew around my companions like a hummingbird.

It was the day before we entered Nordkirchen, a remote part of the continent.

* * * * * *

And, the next day.

The atmosphere between us was warm until yesterday…

———It was frozen like ice.

But now, physically.

-Hwioo… .

“… Does this make sense? It gets this cold in just a few kilometers?”

Of course, the sun was warm just a moment ago. As I rode the horse for a bit, the weather suddenly got colder.

Even though I was wearing the cold-resistant accessories that Elizabeth had brought from the royal treasury and Linnaeus had applied a warming spell, I still felt cold.

However, the companions seemed calm.

“This is Nordkirchen, so it’s natural, right? You explained a lot. It’s really cold here.”

“… … .”

-Flutter.

Seeing his calm appearance, I slightly increased my flight altitude.

It was because I felt a little embarrassed about making a fuss even though I had heard the explanation dozens of times so far.

‘Nordkirchen, Ira… .’

At the same time, I reflected on information about Nordkirchen.

Nordkirchen. In ‘Dungeon Princess’, it is a high-level area where leveling is possible even before entering the Demon King’s Castle, and it is a remote area where it is impossible to move without cold-resistant equipment.

At the same time, this is where the largest sacred piece fell during the warrior appointment ceremony.

The place where the last hero will be, and our final destination.

​

… Even thinking about it again makes me a little angry.

No, did I feel relieved having to drop it in the southern and western parts of the continent, and then even the northern part? It’s not like someone is telling you to run away.

Feeling anger that suddenly filled me, I glanced at Meomummi, who was being held in the arms of the employees.

-Pffkkk.

‘Can’t you just apply soybean paste once? ‘I’ll regenerate it with overheal.’

-Stop, stop!

“… Ehyo.”

However, Mummummi immediately noticed my gaze and put her front paws together to express her apology.

I was so shocked that I lost my anger and turned my gaze forward again.

“… I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of person the last hero will be.”

“Sure. I hope it’s okay this time.”

“The battle line is a bit unstable with just me and Elizabeth, so it would be better if you use a sword!!”

“You two are enough. If you respond flexibly to situations in the middle like me… .”

“Fire, the firepower is that of a wizard… .”

So our group of warriors continued to ride.

To welcome our last hero.

—however,

-My bones trembled.

“… … … !!!!!?”

‘This presence… Three of the Four Heavenly Kings?!!! why!!!?’

We faced the worst crisis before the long-awaited hero.
