There Was a Porter Who Would One Day Be Called a Prophet

191 – Preparing to leave

“Gilbert, what on earth are you talking about…?”

Aria looks puzzled at the meaningful remark that links her to the warrior party.

“No, that’s right. You said you went away for a while to save the world. Who would suspect you?”

She shrugged her shoulders, and evidence to support her claim flowed out of Gilbert’s mouth.

“….”

For some reason, when a plausible answer came back, she was left speechless.

That’s how much Gilbert’s opinion made sense.

If she does as he says, she will not have to hide her current situation and become his concubine.

As long as she could appear in her original form when returning to the empire, all problems would be solved.

‘Still, something is strange….’

But she didn’t feel like something was wrong.

That’s because it was so detailed and specific.

She thought there were more than one strange thing about him that she had seen.

‘This is like my father…’ .’

The moment when Aria was about to get one step closer to the truth of the incident.

“For a guy like you, that’s a pretty useful opinion.”

The emperor always changes his attitude and becomes cooperative whenever he points his sword with ferocious force.

“Durandal. What are your thoughts?”

As if she wasn’t going to give him time to think, she immediately asked a question to the warrior.

“He was mentioned as a member of the party in the first place, so there is no problem…”

When the emperor asked the question, the warrior, who could not help but keep quiet, had no choice but to tell the truth, and he smiled in satisfaction.

“That’s good. Then let’s do it that way…”

If this continues, Aria will undoubtedly set off on her journey with the warrior party.

“Now, please wait a moment!”

She tried to stop the emperor in an urgent voice.

“Do you have anything to say?”

Aria shrinks from the emperor’s cold gaze.

The journey is okay. Because it is an honor to contribute to the noble purpose of saving the world.

But there was one thing there that you should never go near.

Swipe.

She looked at the culprit that made her reluctant to go on the journey.

“Ugh….”

Ian puts his hand to her mouth and makes her yawn with an expression that everything is bothersome.

Pajik.

When I looked at that carefree face, I became very angry.

How many towels did you use yesterday because of that guy?

From then on, she couldn’t sleep much at night because she kept trying to keep her hands from going under her.

But her efforts were in vain when she woke up in the morning and found that one of her hands was caressing her breasts and the other hand was squeezing into her underwear.

It’s a memory I want to forget, but it’s clear even at this moment.

The smell of a female emanating from oneself, soaking one’s hands.

‘It’s dangerous to get even a little more involved with that guy here….’

If this continues, my whole body is sending a warning that something irreversible will happen.

“I’m sorry, but that might be difficult. I think it would be better to just say that you are cursed.”

It was necessary to stand up to her this time in order to protect her own identity.

“I can’t help it since I don’t like it so much.”

“Thank you, father…”

-Wow.

When Aria refuses, the emperor immediately raises his golden energy.

“This is all because you said such nonsense. Raise your sword, Gilbert.”

-Key profit! Key profit!

Calbas cried awkwardly next to the emperor.

“I thought it would end well, but it ended up like this.”

-Cheolgruguk.

Gilbert, who was showing his disappointment, also took a stance and raised his red mana.

“Oh, don’t worry. It definitely didn’t happen like this because you refused.”

Sometimes he says something that strikes his conscience.

“If this happens and I or that guy get seriously hurt, you don’t have to feel guilty about it or anything. Right?”

“That’s true. Even if I can’t stand up again, the empire won’t have to worry because Aria is there. I can fight without sparing a single body.”

“Come. I will come with no regrets.”

Two people who show their sincerity as if they will rush at each other at any moment.

“….”

There was no other way for her to face such an imminent situation.

“…I understand.”

Aria ended up collapsing in front of the two men’s blatant efforts to somehow find time.

***

When it was confirmed that Cobain Aria would open his eyes and join the party, the Emperor sent us back, saying he would tell us the date of departure to the West later.

-Plodding along.

Aria, who naturally could not reveal her identity, also accompanied her on her way home, just as she had when she arrived.

“Somehow, there are more and more people.”

I muttered to myself at the sight, which was not normal.

Clearly, the maximum party size of four in the game has now exceeded seven.

‘Should this be seen as some kind of power improvement?’

Well, it’s true that the more people there are, the safer I become.

On the other hand, I was worried because it seemed like the story was gradually diverging from the story I knew.

If this continues, it is only a matter of time before my true origins are revealed.

‘I’ve been messing around with the prophecy tool so far, so if I get caught, I won’t die well….’

That’s the only reason they take me with them. What if I make a mistake because of the changed story?

-What is it? Nothing is right.

-Is it broken in the end? How pathetic.

-It seems like the Goddess no longer has any expectations from you.

-We can’t let you go alive like this after finding out so much about us.

“….”

It is obvious that I will end my life in an unfamiliar land along that path.

Even if we manage to get over the western and northern regions, what comes next is the problem.

When you enter the final unlocked area, the Demon World, life and death come and go in every battle.

Here, the coming and going of life and death refers to the warrior party.

When names start appearing among the demons, a weak modern person like me will be swept away by the blind wide-range machine without even a rat or a bird knowing, and will become a star in the sky.

‘I have to get out of here somehow….’

A time when I used past failures as a stepping stone to draw a more unpredictable and novel escape route.

“This is all because of someone.”

Also, Thalia, who was pouting her lips as if Pinto was hurt somewhere, came close to her and let out her displeasure.

What’s wrong with him again?

Is this also an aftereffect of deviating from the story? Recently, there have been more than one or two times where I have questioned the actions of party members.

Isn’t he trying to break into my room wearing a maid’s uniform and feeding me something suspicious?

Why don’t you take out the holy sword and ask what you think of yourself?

When you go to the Holy Kingdom, wouldn’t you ask me to prove the behind-the-scenes stories of the warriors and saints of the squadron in front of the goddess?

It’s a pain in the ass as I don’t know where it all went wrong because it shows things one after another that I haven’t seen in the game.

“Are you ignoring what I said now?”

I never thought the day would come when I would think like this, but now Messaki is starting to look like the fairy she is.

At least Thalia was in a better situation. She’s been tickling since I first saw her, but she’s always been that way.

While she maintained her consistent appearance, the rest of her disappeared.

‘It’s kind of like military life.’

She was working hard in the beginning, but once she started to go on a downward spiral, she took some time out and said she was hooked. She starts off by f*cking herself, but when the boy draws her upward curve, she says she’s finally come to her senses.

“Why won’t you tell me when I ask you!”

Mess, who shows signs of a rebound, tries to get angry, but all she can do is pinch him.

If it had been any other kids, she would have put pressure on her with a straight face by now.

It is much better for those who accept it to show their emotions like this.

“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else for a moment. What did you say?”

“That’s enough! It’s too late to say anything else now!”

With a humming sound, Mesugaki crossed her arms and turned her body away from me.

If you do, I will be grateful.

Tears filled my eyes as I saw the transformation from Neg Mesgaki to our Mesgaki.

It looks like he has achieved invisible growth.

Of course, I am talking about mental growth.

From what I felt when we got together earlier, her body was the same.

Still, it was so special that she decided to at least take her to the dessert shop she always went to before she left for the West.

“Anyway, honestly, I’m a little touched. I never thought he would take my side, even going so far as to criticize his father.”

The number one contributor who turned his head and led the hard carry. She looked at Aria.

I honestly expected it to be a tough fight, seeing the emperor getting angry even though he said he would return him to her as his son, but what is this?

It was resolved very easily with the condition of adding one aria.

Sigh.

She put her hand on Aria’s shoulder, wanting to give her an arm around her shoulder because of her unique appearance.

“Hey!”

Then Aria got scared and walked away from me.

“W-What… Why are you doing this all of a sudden…?”

“Don’t touch my body! It’s an order…!”

Aria even invokes her authority as a princess and bans contact with her.

Her shoulders were shrunken and she was glaring at me as if she were going to kill me. It seemed she was sincere.

“Just do it in moderation.”

Her hero came out to protect Aria.

“Have you noticed anything? She doesn’t like Arya like this, so don’t hesitate to approach her like that.”

A hero who is truly angry as if it were her own business.

‘Is that it? ‘Something that checks the girl who was originally her closest friend from becoming friends with other kids.’

I opened my mouth to correct her hasty misunderstanding.

“No, I just meant that I worked hard today…”

“I told you not to approach me.”

The hero is glaring at me with a very displeased expression.

Her words leaked out with too much bitterness to be said because she was thinking of her friend who had been with her since childhood.

“….”

I kept my mouth shut because the memory of me being rude in front of the Holy Sword flashed past me.

When she asked me what I thought of her with a very expectant expression, I answered that she was very trustworthy and that I always depend on her.

The holy sword blinked mercilessly, exposing my white lie to the world.

‘The warrior’s expression at that time was similar to that….’

In an instant, the image of the warrior staring at me with his lifeless eyes came to mind and I quickly changed the subject.

“Well, now that I think about it, shouldn’t we prepare quickly?”

“Ready… Do you mean…?”

Luckily, I don’t know if my efforts worked, or if I brought up a proper topic for the first time in a while, but a little bit of life returned to the warrior’s eyes.

“That’s right, get ready. If you’re going on a journey again, shouldn’t you be prepared as thoroughly as possible?”

“That is certainly true.”

She returned to being the responsible warrior she always was and was lost in thought as she pondered my words.

‘Have we overcome this dangerous juncture? ?’

That was when I breathed a sigh of relief, glad that everything went as planned.

“Then I guess I need someone to go shopping with me.”

I flinch.

The shoulders of the party members, except for the warrior who spoke and Aria, shook violently for a moment.
