Clip-clop, clip-clop.
The wagons proceeded leisurely along the forest trail.
The journey had been so quiet that the initial excitent gradually gave way to boredom.
Woo Hyo-sung, if its okay, could you continue the story from yesterday?
Engaging in small talk with a companion in such a situation was the natural course of action.
The story from yesterday?
I am a collector of stories, after all. Especially the one about the hero we heard yesterday; its not sothing you hear often, so I thought itd be good to listen to it while I can.
The story of the hero from yesterday.
It was not a pleasant story, but she listened attentively without dismissing any part of it.
For soone who made a living listening to stories, it was important not to discriminate between the types of stories they handled.
Ah well, I dont mind telling it, but it might not be interesting enough to alleviate your boredom. As you saw yesterday, rilyn, heroes are not always as righteous as their titles suggest.
Thats probably true, but Woo Hyo-sung, you seem to have t various heroes. Wasnt there even one with whom you got along with?
Um, a hero I got along with.
Resting my chin in thought, I began to recall the heroes I had t.
The knight who got into an unnecessary fight and had her skull split by a demon kings officer, the mage who led the front lines despite being a rear guard and got his limbs severed by tentacles, the sniper who despised n but was chard by a vampire and was torn to pieces
Thinking back, they all seed to get what they deserved, leaving no room for sympathy. But not all the heroes I t were like that.
There were about three who were okay, with whom I got along fairly well.
Just three out of the dozens I had t over two years.
Most would see it as a very low success rate, but heroes were typically gaslighted by the power groups that summoned them from the start.
In a structure where arrogance was inevitable, eting three decent heroes was quite fortunate.
Haha, heroes who survived soone with the nickna Hero Killer. Im curious about what theyre like.
rilyn, I told you thats a misunderstanding, just like yesterday.
She should have known I lacked the capability from yesterdays training.
Brushing off her mischievous joke with a hint of annoyance, I then recalled the first of the three people I had ntioned.
Lets see, the first person to introduce would be
It had been a long ti since we t, but that person was not difficult to rember.
That person was considered one of the top eccentrics in a world filled with oddities.
He always wore a paper bag over his head.
A paper bag?
Yes, a bag with only the eyes cut out, covering his entire head.
You would normally think he was insane.
Regardless of a heros strength, the places they visited were perilous, and choosing a bag over a helt to protect such a vital area as the head?
It was practically like he wanted to end up like the heroes who had died before, wasnt it?
But what really deserved more attention was, of course, his clothing.
Clothing? Besides the bag, did he wear anything else noteworthy?
No, he wore nothing else.
What?
That ans
My voice faded for a mont.
Even now, over two years later, the person I encountered back then still seems ridiculous.
