Chapter 213
Evade the Hero and Flee! 213 #26. Others Stories (2)
#2 Their circumstances: the circumstance of Wieref Lil Vereiden, a man who used to be a hero II
There isnt much difference.
Yes?
I had to smile awkwardly at Ariel, who looked up at
with a smile.
Its nothing, Ariel.
Is it?
I did not dare to tell the truth to her, who focused again on cooking. How could I say to her, who believed in the God of Battle, that what I did as a hero was the sa as what I did in the evil organization? The only difference was that I received oracles instead of orders. However, I still had to do everything to follow them.
The soup is finished.
I had to sigh as Ariel handed
the soup.
Why are you sighing?
Its nothing.
Ariel seed to think it was due to her cooking skills, and I changed the subject.
Try so, sir.
Let
eat in peace.
Right!
I had to sigh again, this ti at the soup. It looked normal, but I would not be surprised if this soup tasted like poison. This is one of the reasons I had maintained a tough schedule to eat at restaurants, but today we had to camp.
Please, give
grace
I closed my eyes, took a sip, and opened my eyes wide.
Itstasty?
You didnt trust ?
I was astonished to find the soup delicious.
I have been a priestess for over ten years!
She tapped her ample chest, and I had to look elsewhere.
Yes, it is.
Have more!
I followed her words, and in such ways, we beca closer. Other things also changed, but my life continued to surprise .
We need to hunt a dragon!
What?
Theres a request to hunt an evil one!
Her usual smile sent a chill down my spine.
Ariel, you said a dragon, right?
Yes! Li, our party, will slay a dragon soon
Li, an elf summoner, smiled at .
Thank you for everything, Wieref.
She nodded before walking away.
Li?
Get off , Beral. We end here.
Li glared at Beral, another one of our party.
Like this?
The oracle said to hunt a dragon. How can that be possible?
Beral had to nod, and Li had been about to escape from this situation.
You cant!
Let go!
I cant!
Ariel grabbed Li by the ankle.
How can you expect
to hunt a dragon?!
Ariel was not your usual priestess who acted as a healer. She had trained in the Temple of Battle and had high physical abilities. Li could not move an inch.
Wieref, do sothing.
Beral, and the final mber of my party, the mage Jeruel, pressured
to act.
Stop!
Ariel pressed down on Li as she scread, and I decided to take my chance to run away. I could walk thanks silently to my days in the organization and-
Ariel, Wieref is running away!
Li pointed at
with a shout.
What?
Ariel, Beral, and Jerual looked at
in astonishnt.
How can we slay a dragon?
I used magic now to run away with all my might.
God sees all, especially you!
I was caught in three days.
Damn
How can a hero run away?
Ariel looked at
in a pout.
How can the God of Battle ask
to slay a dragon?
Ariel frowned as other mbers agreed with .
Our god does not order impossible things!
Yeah, but a dragon is a dragon.
The other three nodded as Ariel grew teary.
You really think it impossible?
Yes.
While Ariel seed despondent, so things were impossible. How can we slay a dragon?
There was a ti I thought such things, but now I was feeling sothing else.
Li?
Dontmake ..speak
Li was gasping as she lay on the floor. Beral and Jerual were also almost dead.
Ariel?
I have to heal Beral first, so please wait!
I had no choice but to stab at an object on the ground with my held sword. While mine was one of the sharpest, there was not even a scratch. It may be natural.
Dragon scales are sharp.
I was stabbing at the red dragons corpse and was trying to refuse to understand reality.
Amazing, what the God of Battle can do.
Our party had battled the dragon after being dragged by Ariel to Mareid Kingdom, and had won.
I told you to believe!
Ariel smiled her signature smile as she ca up to . She had finished healing Beral and was now doing the sa to .
Justice wins.
Maybe it was because the fight was over or because I was healed. Or perhaps, her smile made
relax.
I know, I know. Your words are divine.
I laid down on the dragons corpse with a grunt. I did not know how we managed to slay a dragon, and if soone asked
to do this again, I would refuse. The dragon was that strong.
Please marry .
The prize was also as valuable.
What?
Mareids princess ca to propose to .
This is the greatest gift Mareid can give to our savior.
While her words were formal, her eyes said otherwise. I knew what that stare ant as I looked at Ariel in such a way. I had heard she had been in danger of being kidnapped by the dragon, and I would look like a knight in shining armor.
However, my answer was decided.
I apologize.
What?
I am grateful but am in love with soone else.
She made
betray an organization I had stayed for more than half my life. I ran away from her to Ariels room provided in the palace and explained what had happened to .
You refused a princesss proposal?
She looked around despite there being no one else.
Why?
I told her I loved soone else.
I decided to play things straight.
I refused a princesss offer for you. How about it?
She slowly grabbed my sleeve.
Ive been waiting for this mont.
I had to hug her then, and we beca lovers under our party mbers blessing until that day.
