“I can’t get married anymore…”

How should I comfort her in despair?

As I was hesitating, not knowing what to say, Lisbeth seemed ready to dig into the ground and crawl away.

“Gwae, it’s okay! There must be other succubi in the demon world! Let’s ask them!”

“Yes, sister. I’m sure we can do it if we catch another succubus!”

Jupiter accepted the words I blurted out in confusion.

“Mr. Kimia, there is someone who is skilled in alchemy. Let’s ask him!”

To somehow cheer me up, I said hopeful things.

Yuna gives a sad look, as if looking at someone who is doing something in vain.

She probably thinks it can’t be fixed.

But I plan to try my best.

The result of resisting the succubus as much as possible is a lewd body.

It’s so pitiful.

“Thank you…”

“We’re colleagues! Don’t worry!”

We’ll help you no matter what!

Lisbeth also began to come to her senses when she saw Jupiter saying that.

“Right, right? Because we’re colleagues… Yes, I understand!”

“Come on, sisters. Let’s get back to Aven! I have a lot of questions to ask Kimia.”

Jupiter took the cube out of his pocket and tried to activate it.

I opened my mouth to tell her the sad news.

“Unfortunately, you have to take the carriage. You can’t use the cube.”

“Yes, yes?! But this way is much faster…”

“Did you forget? Lisbeth doesn’t have a cube.”

“···ah.”

I told her the painful truth.

Okay, Lisbeth doesn’t have the cube we have.

If you ask Kimia, she will happily give you the last one.

But this is Silica.

You must arrive at Aven to receive it.

I can’t have it now.

“Well, then wouldn’t it be okay if just one person stays next to Sister Lisbeth?”

A trembling voice.

The will to not ride the vehicle is conveyed at all costs.

But amidst that will, the fear of being burned was slowly spreading.

“···Look at that.”

Looking at that pitiful sight, he pointed to Lisbeth.

“Hehe, hehe… Friends with everyone… Gu, it’s not a dream. Ehe, we’re on a trip together… Ku, it’s just like I dreamed…!”

He looks incredibly happy.

He seemed very happy that Jupiter told him he was a friend.

Colleagues, dreams, fun.

Those words were being heard.

“It looks like everyone is really looking forward to the trip together… I wonder what they would look like if you were to leave.”

Was he imagining a scene where a grown woman was crying?

Jupiter’s expression quickly darkened.

In the first place, he himself made the colleague’s comment.

A cold-hearted person would ultimately get away with it, saying it had nothing to do with him.

But the Jupiter I have seen so far is not the kind of person who would do such a thing.

If you look at it rationally, it is correct that someone except Jupiter should ride the carriage with Lisbeth, and the rest should use the cube.

However, Jupiter did not have the cruelty to say such a thing even after seeing the people so excited about the trip.

Accept it more than your karma.

“It’s a shame. I will tell Lisbeth that Jupiter is missing.”

“I’m going, I’m going, I’m going…”

An expression of fear chased all the way to the chin.

In the end, she had no choice but to agree.

Even though he knows that the path he has chosen is hell, he goes there himself for the sake of his friends.

Even if she were a saint, no one would be able to refute that sacrificial appearance.

“Are you okay? You’ll get severe motion sickness. Of course, it will be of a lower class than the carriage the lord wanted. The shaking will also be severe.”

“···.”

You look like a pigeon that has been shot.

It seems like he hadn’t thought about that, but he had already said he would go.

I can’t afford it anymore.

“This is your choice. Can you endure it?”

“ha ha ha···.”

I dragged Jupiter, who had a liberated expression, and approached Lisbeth, who was full of anticipation, and Yuna, who was waiting for an opportunity to get her hair.

“Okay, let’s leave soon. I’m looking forward to it.”

“Wow, wow… I’m really looking forward to it…”

I felt sorry for Jupiter, who pretended to be calm and spoke in a trembling tone like a pig being dragged to the slaughterhouse.

It’s an action you choose.

Hold on to your evil spirit.

***

“Wow, wow, wow…”

“Y-Yupi. Are you okay…? W-Would you like some water?”

Have we finally arrived?

As soon as the carriage stopped, I looked up at the sky, leaving Jupiter lying on the ground dying, and Lisbeth, who had become close to me and was worried about her.

The sunny sky was shining down as if welcoming the return.

“It took an incredibly long time. Oh my god, I never thought it would take two weeks.”

“···That’s right.”

It took twice as much time.

Of course, because Jupiter was dying due to the much more intense shaking, it stopped frequently and also moved slowly.

However, it was not enough to waste twice as much time.

At most, it could have taken 2 or 3 more days.

The reason it took more time than expected was simple.

“There are a ton of monsters.”

“Obviously we cleaned up this area.”

“···Did they move as a group to avoid something?”

There were too many monsters.

Clearly, the closer you get to Aven, the fewer monsters there should have been.

Because I organized a huge number of monsters around Aven.

Of course, since I am also human, I did not deal with all the monsters.

Still, since a significant number of them were killed, the number of monsters around Aven should have been greatly reduced.

But why? Instead of decreasing, it actually increased.

Rather, the number of monsters around Silica was smaller.

···What’s going on?

I couldn’t hide my discomfort.

“Yo, dragon…”

“Ah, garrison commander. It’s been a while.”

This guy.

Even though I told him to be careful last time, he still can’t come to his senses.

Actually, most residents are aware of my identity.

Nevertheless, I wanted to hide that I was a warrior.

Like when I first came here, I wanted the gangsters to come and attack me.

Why aren’t you coming!

Even after seeing such a pretty woman, he doesn’t try to attack her.

Those guys are definitely eunuchs.

“Ah, ahaha! Are you Airi? It’s been a while. Did you finish your work well?”

“Well, okay.”

When I noticed it, he covered it up with a smile and spoke to me.

It seemed like he wanted to talk to me somehow.

They said he was a warrior, but he was seriously ill.

“You defeated the Four Heavenly Kings. That’s amazing.”

···Eh?

Four Heavenly Kings?

Isn’t he one of the Four Heavenly Kings?

“···The Four Heavenly Kings?”

“Oh, wasn’t it? There is widespread news that a hero appeared and defeated Astaroth, the Four Heavenly Kings who infiltrated Silica.”

···Apparently, the rumor has already spread.

There’s no use hiding that I’m a hero…?

No, that can’t be true.

The appearance would not be known.

Still safe… Still safe…

“He said he was the former Four Heavenly Kings. It looks like he retired from the front line. There must be a successor.”

“···! Well, I’ll inform the lord right away!”

“Please. Can I go inside?”

“Yes, if it’s the hero and his companions, of course!”

No, don’t call me a hero!

Everyone around you is staring!

“···Warrior?”

“Oh my god, it’s true. It’s the traditional attire of a hero. Is this hero a woman?”

“Have you met the hero?”

“Yes, once when I was young. That person was a man.”

Upright.

Amidst the noise of people around you.

I heard a voice talking about a former warrior.

“He seemed quite frivolous. This generation’s hero seems blunt.”

“It was Guynis. There were a lot of bad rumors about it.”

“Well, that’s right. It looks like he doesn’t have a good relationship with women. From what I heard, he recently failed in his attempt to touch the queen, and the king seems to be enraged.”

Originally, I was going to just pass by, but the story was so exciting that I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

No, you even touch the queen?

Aren’t you really crazy?

“So? What happened?”

“What can I do? What can I do? He’s a hero who defeated the Demon King, so there’s a lot of trouble in killing him. It looks like they paid money to send him out.”

“Haha, I guess the hero is human after all. In that respect, I don’t think there’s anything to worry about about this hero. She’s a woman, right?”

“You don’t know that. Even if you’re a woman, there’s no law that says you can’t have promiscuous relationships with the opposite sex.”

“A pretty warrior like that? Haha, in that case, I really want to ask you to join me too.”

I was momentarily taken aback by the steady stream of sexual harassment.

This is gay game men?

In this open area, sexual harassment was taking place openly.

“So? What happened to the hero?”

“There are rumors that he started his career as an adventurer. He would probably be perfect for fighting.”

“Well, the blonde Guynis is famous. If you’re an adventurer, you might be able to see him here.”

“Aben is an adventure city. If so, will the former hero and the current hero meet?”

“That will happen. I’m looking forward to it.”

There is a possibility that a former warrior is here.

While having that conversation, they were chatting excitedly.

“···? Sister? Aren’t you coming?”

“I’ll go right away.”

Yuna, who was supporting Jupiter, urged me, so I quickly moved to my seat.

Definitely, as they said, it was expected.
