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

223 – Courage to face fear

“I wonder if it was necessary to do that on such an auspicious day.”

It was none other than Salazar who appeared after interrupting her.

“Why now…!”

At his appearance, the warrior ground his teeth as if he was indignant.

It seems like you have decided something, is that why?

‘Anyway, how did you know we were here?’

My doubts were soon resolved. Because behind him, the slut was looking this way and pouting as if she were sorry. It seems that what he said about reaching his grandfather wasn’t a lie.

‘Well, it’s a bit weird if your fiancé ends up with another woman on a day when you should have been the main character.’

But you should also listen to my position on this.

Can you compare the gourmet girl on the bed who has tasted this man and that man with the warrior love who has no dating experience, let alone chastity, due to living as a man?

In the first place, there is no advantage over the hero.

But Salazar seemed to be displeased with me seeing me like this and glared at me fiercely.

He seems to think that if each of these scandals becomes a rumor among nobles, it will tarnish his own status.

But the good news is that the assassination target came out to meet us in person.

Things got a little weird, but it’s not all bad.

Kokkok.

I stabbed the hero with the intention of blowing up that guy right away.

But the hero just stays still despite my signals. I never thought about going out.

“What are you doing…?! If you don’t take out the holy sword quickly…!”

I lowered my voice and urged him, and the warrior answered quietly.

“…I left it behind.”

“Yes…?”

“How do you carry that big thing when you’re infiltrating the castle…!”

The hero gets angry and says he had no choice.

No, no matter what, what if I leave it behind?

A warrior without a holy sword is like a bungeoppang without red beans.

Of course, the bungeoppang is a bit strong, but since most of her breakthrough power comes from the holy sword, the presence or absence of the holy sword can be considered quite important.

‘I thought it was somehow hidden under the skirt again.’

I also carry my own holy sword in my pants, so I thought you could do it too.

“Do you want to play with your hands while I’m watching?”

Salazar’s expression darkened, perhaps because he thought we were making fun of him.

“…What should I do about this?”

“But you don’t have to worry too much.”

“Yes…?”

When I asked her what she meant, her chest suddenly began to move.

-Kyu!

The identity of what was sticking out from the side of her breast was a brightly smiling cat.

-Quang!

At the same time as the monster appeared, an arrow flew through the wall with a loud noise, literally shattering Salazar’s head.

“Are you both okay!”

Party members enter through the hole in the collapsed wall.

“….”

The situation ended so easily that it was ridiculous.

No, if a surprise attack is properly implemented, it should end neatly like this. That’s true, but….

‘Should I say that it feels like I took a hit because of some kind of bug? I feel a little nervous.’

-Kyuu!

Rather than anything like that, he is the one who pushes his body towards me, asking me to praise him.

Anyway, what do you think? Good things must be good things.

Sigh. Okay.

I didn’t think it was a big deal, thinking that there would be days in my life when I ate raw food, so I patted him without any hesitation.

This envious bastard. Does the warrior’s chest feel good?

-aaah!

The nobles were busy screaming and scattering as the head of the person who hosted the event was blown off.

‘Anyway, if you look at the attendance list, you can see who everyone is, so let’s just walk slowly.’

Even if you go home right now and take your wealth with you, from then on, the breathtaking game of tag with the empire will only begin. Why are they doing this?

“Ha, grandpa….”

Catherine, her granddaughter, could not easily leave Salazar, who had fallen and lost his head.

But her generosity as a granddaughter goes only to that point. As her people were almost gone, she too adjusted her skirts and got ready to run away at her full speed.

But.

Hot.

As her blood drained and she grew pale, Salazar’s arm moved at a strange angle and grabbed her ankle.

“aaah!”

After falling, she was scared and tried to get away from him, but the more she tried, the more force was applied to her ankle.

-Cracked.

Her cheeks seemed to be sunken, and she began to look bony in an instant.

On the other hand, Salazar began to regain the shape she had lost as fat began to grow above her neck.

Sigh.

Salazar soon stood up, rubbing his new head, and opened his mouth.

“Still, it’s worth the money raised.”

I couldn’t help but be shocked when I saw that.

From noble mtl dot com

‘No, if the head flies off, I’ll have to search for it, it’s sitting there coming back to life…’ .’

While I was holding out my tongue at the sight of you ignoring my public promise that you could not be resurrected the moment it disappeared above your neck.

As he watched his blood disappearing into dust, he tilted his head left and right and our eyes met.

“Ian. As expected, you are similar to me.”

He licked his lips with some regret.

“It would be nice if you didn’t resemble me in terms of ambition.”

“Polaris! Holy sword!”

The warrior immediately got into battle stance.

Salazar looks at her intently as she receives the holy sword from the saintess.

“Indeed. The person next to me was a hero. He had quite a beautiful ponytail.”

He was chuckling and raised his hands in the air as if supporting them and muttered.

“Come.”

-Krrr!

Then, the ground shook and at the same time the floor cracked open, and dark red monsters jumped out endlessly, like a swarm of rats jumping out of a sewer.

“Go! Go and destroy the empire! Tear apart everything in sight!”

After seeing her smiling like crazy and giving orders to the monster, Reina took out the queen’s bow and muttered.

“…You’re completely crazy.”

“Ugh, gross.”

Even though Thalia said so, she seemed to sense that she was not easy, so unlike usual, she took out the wand from her arms.

The party members immediately surround me.

“Prison!”

“Aden · Trare!”

These girls show the best in herding hunting, with Thalia hitting the wall and Reina clearing it with her penetrator.

Normally, they’re frustrated because they can’t catch each other, but strangely enough, they breathe well together.

But perhaps because there were so many of them, monsters began to appear that escaped through the bodies of fallen compatriots.

“Hero! If things continue like this, people will…!”

“Ugh…!”

When the saintess expressed concern, the warrior chewed his lips. It was obvious what the monsters that went out would do.

“Reina and Thalia, deal with the monsters heading out! Polaris provides support, and Sonia and Aria provide cover for the three!”

The hero gave instructions based on what was discussed with me earlier.

“Then what about Ian!”

-Oh my!

Perhaps because the fluttering dress was a hindrance, the warrior who tore the skirt down to his thighs opened his mouth.

“Right now, next to me is the safest.”

To what extent did you think that statement made sense? Thalia nodded her head.

“Just stay alive alone. I’ll never see you again, you idiot!”

“Trachi · Are!”

Reina is similar to Chase, but casts a slightly different skill.

-Shoo!

The arrows of light heading straight toward the ceiling split in the air and began to rain down like meteorites on the heads of the monsters.

While they were securing a retreat route. Sonia asked Aria.

“Are you okay?”

“No matter how much his body isn’t what it used to be, he’s still a monster.”

As if those words were true, Aria skillfully cut down a monster charging at her.

“I think it would be better for you to take care of yourself rather than me.”

She asked Sonia in turn. Are you really sure it’s okay?

“….”

Perhaps due to her past experience of being attacked by a monster, Sonia’s arm holding her shield was trembling slightly at a glance.

Sigh.

Before Sonia answered, she looked at Ian behind her.

“No, hero! Why are you using the skill there? You can catch it with a normal attack!”

“Please be quiet! Don’t you lose your concentration?”

A man who hides behind the back of a person wearing a dress and gives advice.

I thought that it would have been the same even if it had been another woman instead of a hero.

“I don’t have the talent like that guy or others to do something easily just because I put my mind to it.”

Even though her own skills are excellent, Sonia dismisses them, saying that it is only a job for the knights.

“But I will definitely overcome it. No matter how long it takes.”

She did not shy away from her own fears, but faced them confidently.

Seeing her like that, Aria remembered what Gilbert had said to her before.

***

-Aria. What on earth do you think chivalry is?

In the past, Gilbert, who had been wasting time visiting his office in the name of training, had asked such a question.

-My goodness, do you even know how to do such serious consideration?

-… Keias, I guess he’s just like Abby. Anyway, what is it?

-Chivalry…. Isn’t that fighting bravely against the enemy?

When I told it like it was, Gilbert nodded, saying he knew that.

-That’s right. I also teach like that. But, isn’t this bravery a bit funny?

-What does that mean?

-Well, being brave means not knowing fear. But I don’t quite understand it.

-I can’t believe you, the power of the empire, say such a thing. Are you doubting yourself now?

-Listen. I was walking down the street yesterday. The market was really noisy.

-Wait, yesterday? Wasn’t yesterday an important event? You can’t believe it….

-… Let’s skip over the little things.

-Really, the person you are….

-Anyway, when I went there, I saw a crazy dog drooling and glaring at some girl.

It may not sound like a big deal since it is a dog, but by the average person’s standards, it was a dangerous creature that could easily kill one. Maybe it was fortunate that he was there.

-People around me couldn’t even come forward for fear of being bitten, but out of nowhere, something small appeared. I found out later that he was the child’s older brother.

He began to explain the situation at the time in detail.

-A guy whose legs are shaking from being so scared takes up a stick and stands in front of his dog to protect his younger brother. What can I say? Should I say that he gained some enlightenment there?

-It’s all good, but you just watched it again….

-Of course, I saved him in time. Do you know what he said to me? When he grows up, he wants to become a knight like me. I think the status of the Knights Templar is increasing as these images build up.

-… It’s not wrong, so I don’t have anything to say. So why are you telling me this?

Gilbert cited as an example what he felt during the past war.

-I’ve seen countless times a guy who didn’t know fear break down in the face of fear. He gets so drunk on himself that he ends up not being able to go beyond his limits. It’s quite possible. But what if it’s like the kid I just talked about?

-I see what you are talking about. Please refer to the Templar training materials.

-Why do you have to go that far? Anyway, this is what I want to say. The attitude of acknowledging one’s own weakness and wanting to protect others even against the strong. I think it’s closer to chivalry.

At that time, I thought how great it would be if I always did that.

‘Indeed. Gilbert has something to look forward to.’

Aria looked at her Ian.

“No, what kind of mana is left over? What skill does the person with the lowest mana storage here use like water?”

“I’ll take care of it, so please be quiet!”

‘Now that I think about it, I heard that guy saved this guy too.’

Aria thought that in some way that guy might be similar to Gilbert, so she opened her mouth to Sonia.

“I’ll leave the shrine to you.”

“Ah, yes!”

Sonia adjusts her shield and follows Raina.

She’s still shaking, but the shaking won’t last long.

Aria thought so.
