The Fake Hero Is Too Strong

chapter 22



Please take good care of me again – 3

After thinking for a while, Xenia opened her mouth.

“If you try to catch this witch, will you stop it too?”

Neryl intervened.

“Can you catch me?”

“I asked Maid. Still, I think the answer is yes.”

“Ugh.”

Neryl only made a characteristic snoring sound, but surprisingly did not get angry.

I said.

“Neril is already my colleague. And as we go along, we’ll see that she’s not as vicious as the rumors.”

“However.”

“The atrocities that are known to have been caused by Neryl have some secrets that Zenia-san is not aware of. If we stay together, we will find out someday.”

It is not yet the time to reveal Dame’s corruption.

There is also the problem of Neryl’s ‘that thing’, but if he says Dame is a bad guy without any evidence, Zenia’s heart, who has infinite respect for his father, can be far from it.

After a while, Xenia said.

“Witch… Whew. No, Mr. Neryl. Let me ask you one thing.”

“ask.”

“Did you kill Ophelia?”

Neryl glanced at me before answering.

I pondered on how to respond here, and nodded my head with the expression that I completely trust your sense.

After pondering for a moment, Neryl answered.

“I didn’t kill him.”

“……! Are you alive?”

“no. I was just saying I didn’t kill him.”

“What are you talking about. how.”

She turned her head and asked me.

“Is this true?”

“I just said no, so why are you asking me? I haven’t been with Neryl for a while.”

“I want to hear your judgment. Your judgment of self-proclaimed warrior.”

I don’t know what this means again.

But first, I spoke word by word with a serious expression.

“yes. I think it is true.”

In an instant, I clearly saw Xenia’s face soften in an instant.

At least, he’s glad he didn’t go with the murderer who killed his friend.

That meant she trusted my thoughts and judgments.

Jenny muttered.

“Certainly, I didn’t see the scene in person. I just got a report that the reverberation of the Witch of Witch was still there.”

“……”

“It may have been a mistake, or maybe it was someone’s intentional intervention.”

The last words were quite close to the truth, so I was quite surprised.

Of course, I still don’t think that ‘someone’ would be his father.

“To check that, you must first check the character of this witch next to you. We will continue to work together in the future to monitor you.”

“thank you.”

“It’s called surveillance. watch.”

“yes. You can say anything like that to hide your shame.”

“OMG. annoying!”

So Xenia became a member of my party.

With this, he succeeded in recruiting two heroes.

If you get one more person, you will be recruiting three party members just like Caled.

My heart is pounding for nothing.

Then Neryl said to me.

“Made. Now that we’re together, let’s make one thing clear.”

“yes?”

“Why are you talking nonsense to me and speaking up to him?”

“……”

“Aren’t you older than Xenia?”

Xenia’s eyebrows twitched.

“What’s weird about using respect to acknowledge each other’s personalities?”

“Recognize your character? Sometimes he tells Maid that he is a calculating person.”

“It meant that he had both literature and martial arts.”

“That’s what I said.”

“Because I agree.”

“You said one word. little boy.”

“huh. I’m sorry. grandmother.”

“Hey, Grandma…”

I called Neril a grandmother, even though she was an aunt.

The effect was awesome!

I said, clapping lightly.

“I’ll sort it out. Even when I was a mercenary, I was comfortable talking to my colleagues I trusted and trusted.”

“……”

“In that sense, Zenia-san, I would like to stop talking from now on, is it okay?”

Trail smirked at my words.

[Really?]

‘no. At first I worked alone.’

[If you open your mouth now, you are lying. Idria is going to cry.]

It was time for me to say something.

Xenia said with a slightly startled face.

“Do you believe in me and consider me a reliable colleague? It’s been a few days since we met.”

“Still, didn’t we face King Wu together? I think he is someone I can trust with my back.”

“Oh, okay. Then, say it comfortably.”

“I will. Let’s do well in the future. Xenia.”

Xenia nodded vigorously.

Then Neryl’s voice is heard.

“Ugh. Wouldn’t it be better to just speak up? If we acknowledge each other’s personalities, we should be respectful.”

What do you want to do?

I told Xenia.

“Should I report it to my father anyway?”

“This is the manager.”

“It’s the same thing.”

“…Anyway, yes, I have to report it. Why?”

“Put my name on the report. With the addition that I am praised as a hero in Rio.”

Xenia tilted her head.

“I thought so from the beginning. But why?”

I replied with a smile.

“I’ll put some ground rice on it.”

Dame had to tie up his hair for a while after receiving Xenia’s report.

‘What the hell are you talking about? Why do you want to go with the Witch of Cruelty?’

There is also the case of Ophelia Mays, but her daughter’s basic personality doesn’t match that witch.

Unless there is any mediator.

‘ah. After all, he said there was a mediator.’

Xenia called that moderator Maid Mohan, a ‘hero’.

Rather than exactly calling her a hero, it was said that she was praised as a hero by the locals in the territory of Rio.

Dame heard that and laughed out of absurdity.

And it was so sarcastic

“A mere mercenary is a warrior.”

And, unexpectedly, Zenia’s reply was cold.

“Could a mere mercenary really be able to defeat King Wu?”

“……”

“Mr Maid played with the so-called King Mu. he’s strong Maybe, no, definitely…”

Xenia is ‘stronger than her father.’ swallowed the word.

Dame, fortunately, did not foresee what she had to say.

Anyway, Dame focused on other parts.

‘Neril is still keeping his promise. Well, if you don’t, you’ll be in trouble.’

If so, you may want to wait a little longer.

In the first place, he had no history of defeating Xenia, who started to be stubborn like that.

And in fact, he was not in a position to continue worrying.

Because there was a customer waiting outside.

A person with a tremendous ‘fame’ who is a little burdensome to make even the leader of the Knights Templar of Light wait longer.

He called the lieutenant and said.

“Come in.”

“All right.”

After a while, the door opened and a man came in.

He was a man with a thick, but good impression, with his red hair tied up.

The man sat across from Dame and opened his mouth.

“Nice to meet you. It’s called Caled Wake.”

“You have come a long way. This time, he made a big contribution to the Taquiar estate.”

“I am ashamed. Director Dame, who was well-known for such a job, would ask for a meeting.”

“no. The unknown plague circulating in the Takiar Territory was also of great concern in the capital. If you are someone who solved it in a month, you should definitely meet him.”

Dame looked at Caled, who is called the champion of the south.

Naturally, the report of my daughter a while ago popped into my head.

‘Midra. Is this called a hero in Rio’s estate? If I had to compare it to Cald…’

The hero of the north, you can call it that.

And right then.

Suddenly, Kyle opened his mouth with a strange expression.

“Are you thinking of a man named Maid?”

“……!”

Dame was so startled that he jumped out of his seat and got up.

“what? How do you know his name!”

“First of all, I apologize. While I was waiting outside, I heard his name.”

“what? does not make sense.”

This room is thoroughly soundproofed.

It is not a physical story that the materials of the room block the sound.

Since it was the general’s room where all the secrets of the Empire were most directly connected, soundproofing was ensured with various magical treatments.

Did you hear the conversation from outside, where magic circles designed by the Empire’s leading wizards were placed all over the place?

But unlike Dame, who was surprised, Cale just scratched his head.

He looks like an innocent young man.

“I said something.”

“If you know that, tell me honestly how you heard it.”

“No, as I said. Because I’m not good at magic. haha.”

“……”

“Anyway, are you saying that there is a man named Maidra in the northern part of the continent? They seem to be doing great things as well as me.”

Dame put his buttocks on the chair first.

And answered in a cautious voice.

“It’s not a big deal to say that you defeated King Wu. He also uncovered the filthy things that King Wu had done behind the scenes. But it’s still not as good as your feat.”

“Hmm. So my daughter got to watch Maid.”

“Do you know my daughter too?”

“haha. The person who is as famous as the director is that Xenia-nim.”

Kyle swallowed the back words.

‘Originally, he was the person I wanted to be the fourth colleague of.’

That’s why he came to the capital using Dame’s invitation as an excuse.

You stole Zenia like that?

Maid, what are you doing?

Caled tapped the armrest of the chair with his index finger.

So far, everything has worked out smoothly.

He had already gathered three hero-level party members, and Caled himself was walking the path to becoming a hero.

But right now, for the first time.

‘I think I’ve met an obstacle.’

Kyle’s eyes deepened.

Dame kept talking to him, and Cale responded moderately.

But there was already no place for the dam in his head.

After a while, Cale made a decision.

‘I’ll have to ask Offense to meet him. A guy named Maid.’

On the way to the next destination, I asked Trail to check the current situation.

<Required Fame Points to the next level: 7,760/20,000>

<Your name is ringing in Drucker’s estate. (All points have been collected!)>

<Your name is ringing in the Quark estate. (All points have been collected!)>

<Your name is ringing in the Rioor estate. (All points have been collected!)>

I waited only this time.

‘map!’

[yeah.]

Trail gave a rather stern answer and brought the Continental Evangelism to the screen.

I’m so mad that I can’t stand wanting to see this.

[Why are you holding on? You could have asked me to show it to you at any time.]

‘I wanted to retrieve and see all of Rio’s points. Hmm.’

I smiled contentedly and folded my arms.

The area occupied by my light in the northern part of the continent has expanded tremendously.

Although the area of the Rioor estate is wide, it is not enough to explain it by itself.

‘Suddenly, the rumors of me are spreading to other provinces.’

[okay. good flow But compared to Caled, it’s still… eh?]

Trail makes a muffled voice.

Kayle’s Black Mist didn’t expand as much as the last time I saw it.

Of course, it is true that it has expanded to some extent, but it seems that it was due to the natural spread of rumors rather than the fact that he had done something new.

[Isn’t this guy working?]

‘If we don’t work, we’re good. Show me the numbers.’

[Wait a minute.]

<Made Mohan Cumulative Fame: 7,760>

<Cumulative Reputation of Caled Wake: 20,980>

As far as I can remember, the last Kayle fame was 20,450.

After all, he must have stood still with his arms crossed.

Thanks to this, the gap between me and him has narrowed considerably.

[It feels like you knew it was going to be like this?]

‘I used to write numbers. I couldn’t tell.’

[Let’s listen.]

‘Did Xenia do that? Originally, he was going to meet Caled with Dame in the capital. In other words, he’s in the capital now.’

And probably interviewed Dame.

I asked Xenia to report my name to Dame.

[In other words, is your existence known through Dame? To Kyle?]

‘uh. I didn’t know it would work out like this.’

[no. Why are you announcing it! It’s just that I’ve instilled a sense of caution.]

‘It’s simple.’

[Cancel that word. I am complicated.]

Well.

Is that the right expression?

Anyway, I shrugged and explained.

‘Kyle is a pretty cautious person, yes. Just by looking at the deceived people of all continents in the first place, you can see that caution is not a joke.’

[By the way?]

‘Besides, I wouldn’t have thought that there would be other people walking the same path as me. I thought he’d prioritize finding out about me rather than starting a new job.’

[Huh. Did you get him to think like that? By asking Xenia to report?]

I nodded.

‘okay. It’s important for me to catch up quickly, but it’s also important to make sure he doesn’t make a difference.’

[Whatever it is, it’s the same thing that you were known to Kayle. Is it okay to take that risk?]

‘I saw that I had to endure it. And even if it’s known, he’s not the kind of guy who’ll fly all the way here right away and have a one-on-one match. I think we should send reconnaissance first.’

And if you’re really sending out reconnaissance, the first person that comes to mind is.

It would be nice if the guy Kayle sent was ‘Offense’.

Because that friend can speak a bit.
