Chapter 24: 24 - The King's Way (15)
Pretty. Really typical knight feel.
Looking at the word "Heroine" written above her head, it seems like she is a sub-heroine who could be a colleague.
It's a shame she's not blonde, but her sky blue hair is nice too. Her long hair that reaches down to her waist flutters in the wind, and that alone is a picture.
She has blue eyes like Sophia, but unlike Sophia, they are sharp rather than round. If Sophia is like a rabbit, then that knight feels like a cat?
So should I call it charisma? It gives off a cool beauty vibe, but the armor that exposes her sternum makes her feel sexy.
Is this armor really that defensive? It's an outfit that's difficult to attack.
"I never would have thought that there would be an adventurer in a rural area like this who could deal with this guy alone!"
Oh, your voice is surprisingly soft. You might be younger than I thought.
The gap between her cute voice and her serious tone of speech is attractive, and it reminds me of Yena, who often imitated adults in the previous episode of 'Heroine Netori'. She was cute.
"Brother…"
Have you ever seen something so blatant?
Sophia called out to me in an anxious voice and grabbed my arm.
No, rather than being conscious of that article as a woman, it seems like Si-woo was frightened by the skilled person who cut off the goblin's head in one breath.
But there seems to be no need to be afraid, perhaps it is a punitive force sent from Martha.
"Excuse me, may I ask who you are?"
"Hmm? By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Louise Klein! I'm the captain of the Martha Guard! Nice to meet you!"
Oh man, I almost laughed. The voice and the way you spoke really didn't match.
Louise looks at me strangely as I make a strange expression while trying to hold back laughter.
Phew… Let's calm down.
But the Martha Guard? I thought it would be just a simple vigilante group, but if someone with that level of skill is the unit leader, I'll have to change my mind.
"Nice to meet you. We are apprentice adventurers heading to Marta from Minamo Village to become adventurers."
"Hmm? Apprentice? Someone with your level of skill is just an apprentice? Ha!"
Louise looked at Siwoo and made a sound as if she was dumbfounded.
It seemed like he was genuinely impressed by Siwoo's skills. Did he sense something that only those with skills can recognize? He was stronger...
As I was watching between the two, Louise's men, who appeared to be guards, appeared from behind.
"Wow! I believed in you, Commander! You cut down that monster with one stroke of your sword!"
"As expected of the blue flash! The goddess of Martha!"
"Blue light! Louis!"
The subordinates praised Louise for calmly bringing in a cart and cleaning up the scene, thus ending the situation.
But isn't that just teasing? Or is this the culture of the Martha Guard?
"Hmm! Take it easy! What I did was just a surprise attack."
Look, Louise hates me too…
Looking closely, I could see Louise's ears twitching whenever her subordinates flattered her.
In addition, the corners of her lips were moving slightly, so it seemed like Louise was enjoying this situation.
What the… Seriously… He's a cute person, different from his first impression.
The subordinates continued to praise Louise until the work was finished, and Louise did not stop them even though she verbally told them not to do it.
====
"I see… So you were originally planning to join the Coast Guard?"
"Yes. I've changed my mind now, but at one time I dreamed of becoming a security guard."
"Hmm! That's too bad! If you had joined as a subordinate, you would have been quite useful."
We decided to go into Martha with the guards.
I was going to ask her to go with me since we were already close and had connections, but Louise was the one who suggested we go together first.
It seems like he is quite interested in Siwoo.
Louise is the sub heroine, so… is she different?
I glanced at Sophia and saw that she was also thinking the same thing as me, looking at the two of them with a happy expression.
I approached Sophia and pointed to the two people. Sophia nodded her head wildly.
We looked at each other and smiled.
After that, Sophia and I did our best to keep the conversation going until they reached Martha.
Louise seemed satisfied that she could continue talking to Siwoo, and Siwoo didn't seem to dislike Louise either.
Well, I guess that guy is so interested in Louise as a master rather than as a woman, but that's not really it.
Their conversation was mostly about the group of goblins they had caught earlier, and it turned out that those goblins had been modified by the Demons.
Each of them had the abilities of a different monster, but the leader of the goblins fighting Siu was a fusion of a troll and a goblin.
Somehow the wound healed right away.
Goblins were originally 7th-grade monsters, the lowest grade, but they were raised to 5th grade thanks to their special abilities.
By the way, the leader was said to be a monster close to level 4, so Louise was surprised to see Siwoo.
"Wow! As expected from the captain! We defeated that guy!"
"Because of the deputy commander, I have nothing to do!"
"Hmm! Stop praising me and open the door!"
Upon arriving at the city, the guards began teasing Louise. No, it wasn't just the guards' culture, as the residents of Marta and adventurers also joined in.
"It's the Blue Flash! I think I'll fall in love with it!"
"Ahh… I guess I can trust you and leave now…"
"Ahem!"
I can see that this isn't the first or second time this has happened. It seems like Louise knows that she likes it when other people do this to her too.
"If you take this letter of recommendation with you, you will be able to become an adventurer without any problems! I guarantee it!"
Unfortunately, Louise and Siwoo were unable to make plans to eat separately or practice together.
Louise also couldn't make as much progress as she wanted, either because she was still a novice or because she still didn't see Siwoo as a man.
Instead, I was able to get a letter of recommendation from Louise, whose favorability rating had risen to a certain level. It was important to have a guarantor, but thanks to this, I gained valuable connections.
"Thank you, Louise! As expected, you are the goddess of Martha!"
"Hmm! I have nothing to offer to an adventurer who is neither a subordinate nor a vassal! Well then, that's it! I'll see you again when I get another chance."
As expected, it's cute.
Louise set off with her men, her ears twitching and her expression satisfied.
====
There are three achievements you can gain from this surprise quest.
First of all, this is the letter of recommendation I just received.
Since the captain of the Martha Guard is guaranteeing your identity, you will be able to become an adventurer without any major problems.
Next is the green dagger.
It's a dagger that I had prepared before the guards came rushing in.
This is a poisoned sword. I should have noticed it the first time I saw it. Anyone can tell that it is the color of poison.
I left Sophia waiting to check and cut my arm. I felt the same pain that was burning deep in my bones.
I thought this could be a pretty good secondary weapon, so Sophia and I each took one and put one in our inventory.
I'm thinking of selling this in real life.
Finally, level up.
To strengthen your original stats, you must kill monsters to obtain magic stones, then absorb the magic stones and embody them.
Although it is a complex process, the effect is certain, so the price of magic stones is traded at quite a high price.
However, here, instead of monsters dropping magic stones, you can gain experience points by killing them and level up to increase your stats, just like in a game.
I never thought that I would be able to strengthen my stats while getting skills from 'Heroine Netori', but I was lucky.
By the way, I didn't receive a reward for catching the goblins.
The cliff collapsed and blocked the passage because of the bomb I threw, and the guards agreed to clear it, but I agreed not to receive any compensation.
Still, it's not so bad since I got a letter of recommendation and the guard's favor.
"Oppa! I guess this is the Adventurer's Guild."
"That's exactly the feeling I get from the entrance."
While I was thinking about this and that, I arrived at the Adventurer's Guild. As Louise said, I walked straight along the street and a large building appeared.
Inside the entrance, you could hear the sounds of drinking, fighting, singing, and so on. Just by listening, you could tell that this was an adventurer's guild.
"Sophia, Deokbae! Then shall we go in?"
"huh!"
"Let's go!"
