T/N: This ti around, its Haruto speaking. So no more bold conversations, just the one where Halt was the one speaking. I retained the bold pronouns because the raws still had brackets on them.
Haruto and the Four Heroes (3/7)
I was lying on a soft bed when I woke up. My right hand felt uncomfortable, so I glanced at it. The black-haired girl was gripping my hand as she slept. It seed like she had been crying the whole ti; there were tear tracks on her cheeks.
My right hand was severely burnt by the werewolf bosss attack, and I couldnt even move it, supposedly, but
It had been restored to perfection, I couldnt even see any traces of burns. Maybe Sarion kept on casting healing magic on after I fainted.
Even the part bitten off didnt leave any scars. As I thought, Isekais magic really was great, huh No, Sarion is the amazing one, I guess?
Anyway, I wasglad that this girl that Tina was safe, and I was able to protect her.
Right now, Im like a spectator watching my Harutos mories unfold before , but it was really thrilling, my heart kept on pounding from the suspense. I think that I did my best, considering that I fought against a lot of monsters with only that level.
Still young Tina is so cute, huh.
I stared at Tinas sleeping face for a while, but she woke up when I moved a bit.
Good morning.
G-good morning.
Did you save ?
No. It was Sarion. I couldnt do anything
Tina desperately tried to cast heal on , but it was futile because of the magic sealing choker she wore on her neck.
But still, I heard you trying your best to call out to . Thanks.
I am the one who should thank you. Thank you very much for saving .
Tina bowed down. I gently stroked her head.
Im glad I was able to save you. Can you tell your na if its okay with you?
Y-yes! Im Tina. Tina Harivell.
Tina-chan, it is. Im Haruto. Saijou Haruto.
Haruto-sama..
Were you injured, Tina?
No, Im fine.
She appeared to be okay. The choker and manacles had been removed, too. We were in a hurry trying to escape before, so I could only cut the chains that bound her when we were in the carriage.
Afterward, I told Tina that I ca from Isekai another world different from hers. Tina was surprised, but she seed to believe . She then explained the various things of this world to .
The Demon King hadnt revived yet at this ti, but the monsters were becoming more active.
The rchant who bought Tina and his minions were attacked by high level monsters, when in fact, they usually didnt roam around that area.
The nace from the monsters rapidly worsened. Tina had a worried look as she relayed these things to .
What happened?
I am.a person who [Inherited the Blood of the Heroes]. I have the power of heroes within . That is why I had to fight monsters no matter what.
Tina was trembling.
Maybe she was thinking that she had to fight them on her own? Just because this little girl had protection, she had to do that?
That was wrong.
Dont worry, Ill fight too. Thats because I am a hero.
Tina taught how to check my status board.
It was written there, plain and simple. Occupation: Hero.
Three months had passed since that ti. I started my rigorous combat training under Sarion, and he taught how to swing the sword, how to attack and dodge, and even using magic.
Sarion was strong. I didnt stand a chance even if I made Tina stand behind so I could activate my skill.
I thought Sarion could defeat the Demon King butapparently, it was impossible.
The Demon King had the divine protection of the Evil God, so we had to destroy that protection.
The only one who could do that was , because the Creator God gave the power of a hero. Normally, since I was the hero, I should have possessed enough power to defeat the demon king.
However, I didnt stay for long at the Creator Gods place after he teleported , so I was only Level 40 now, and I only had that [Protector] skill. It was actually hopeless when compared to the Demon King and the tens of thousands monsters under him.
And so, we decided that I would do the first attack, and Sarion would then defeat the Demon King. It was Sarion who proposed that.
If we could save the world, then it didnt matter even if I ca off as totally uncool, that was why I agreed with Sarion.
However, in order to make that plan possible, we had to travel to the lair of the Demon King in the first place. It would be a huge burden to Sarion if he needed to protect all the ti. Thus, he guided so that I could beco stronger, at the very least.
By the way, Tina also trained under Sarion. She wanted to train with , she said.
She was a daughter from an aristocratic family so she had never held a sword in her entire life, but because the Demon King was revived and the monsters beca more active, Sarion decided that she also needed to learn how to fight.
Tina was gifted. She learned how to wield the sword at an amazing speed, and her magic also improved trendously.
On the other hand, I was
Not enough, thats not enough! How many tis do I have to tell you before you understand? Theres no way youll know your opponents next move just by staring!
Ugh!
I was thoroughly beaten by Sarion every single day.
You have to feel the flow of magic. Strong monsters reinforce their body just before they attack. In short, if you can grasp the flow of magic, then you will know the next move of your opponent.
He explained it to countless tis. But, I didnt have magic in my previous world, and it was extrely difficult to rely on other senses aside from sight during a high speed battle.
Halt-sama, are you alright?
Tina was worried about since I remained sprawled on the ground after our training session. Tina could already parry Sarions attacks how pathetic of .
Im not fine, butthanks.
Tina always nursed after Sarion left the training grounds, it beca a custom.
She would wipe my sweat and let lie on her lap, not caring whether her clothes were dirtied even though I was so dusty and dirty from being beaten to the ground countless tis.
Sarion would train until I could no longer move, so I was at Tinas rcy, with no strength to resist.
Of course, there were no ill intentions.
The Elven race could gather mana from the air around them. Tina, being the Half-Elf that she was, possessed that ability, and I felt that my mana rapidly recovered with a touch from her.
Tina was like an angel to . She is still as beautiful as an angel even now, though.
I only knew about this later on, but apparently, Sarion would purposely continue the training until I could no longer move. He kept on increasing the difficulty level to match my growth.
He didnt do this just to make stronger.
His goal was for Tina to be able to like even if I had collapsed from total exhaustion and didnt have enough strength left to resist.
