Chapter 316 – Double Moon (Retreat 4)

It has been two years since I, an ordinary high school student from Earth, was called into the world of Fantasy.

And during this time I had countless moments that were so painful that I wanted to die.

Whether you fell down the stairs, tearing your knees to blood, or fell off a cliff, breaking bones, you could quickly recover.

– Kx! What a throbbing pain.

But that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

Although the Heightened Perception skill removes the feeling of pain when it reaches A-rank, this skill is usually deactivated.

Because the body does not stand cheat.

If it hurts somewhere, your body sends a warning signal that there is a problem in this area.

For example, if the leg bone is broken, and you do not know this, because you do not feel pain, the wound will begin to swell and fester. After all, you may reach a point where you cannot walk.

So I try to endure pain whenever I can.

– Brother, Are you still in pain?

– What other brother? Call me Kang Han Soo.

– But the brother’s name is difficult to pronounce. And we spent the night together, so we don’t have to worry about such formalities, ” said Emily, the girl next to me in bed, with a shy smile.

She covered her naked body with a blanket, which I admired all night.

For an inhabitant of the Earth, she seemed to be a real embodiment of fantasy, but in this world she was an average woman in beauty.

If she were born on Earth, she would easily fool a rich man, making herself a comfortable life.

В anyway…

– Emily, it’s morning. Go home or your parents will be worried. If they turn to the city guard, it will be problematic.

– I am very grateful to you for what happened yesterday.

– I ended up there by accident, since I came to collect rare herbs. Don’t thank me. So come home soon, otherwise my companions…

Knock, knock!

At that moment someone knocked on the door.

Hiding Emily’s head under the covers, I said:

– I’m sleeping. So don”t…

BAM!

As soon as the lock was kicked out and the bedroom door opened wide, I jumped aside.

And grabbed the sword that he always held near him in order to pounce on the intruder.

However, as soon as I saw the intruder’s face, he immediately stopped and loosened his grip.

– What’s the matter, Hero? It’s morning, and you already want to challenge me?

– Alex, I would not have pulled my sword if you had not knocked out the door lock and invaded my room.

– I walked along the corridor of this hotel and heard a woman’s voice in the Hero’s room.

– Why did you break in then?

– Hmph! Hero, I was worried that you were attacked by a beautiful assassin who entered through the window, so I hurried to help. So you’d better thank me!

– You’d better think about compensation to the innkeeper for the broken lock.

– I have no money, – Alex complained in response, who did not I felt not a drop of guilt for what I had done.

While dressing, I told him:

– Because of you and Aqua, you constantly have to pay for damage to property… Like the last time you got into a fight with mercenaries. That’s why we sleep in a shabby hotel outside the city walls, where it’s not all that safe.

– It’s the mercenaries” fault!

– They didn’t have a penny in their pockets, and someone had to pay for the harm done.

– Well, we paid. So it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

– That’s why I want to draw your attention to this problem. Be careful not to waste again…

– It’s okay. Let’s work again.

-…

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Alex was unarmed and I had a sword in my hand.

From my early days as a regular high school student until last year I was absolutely helpless and afraid of Alex, but not now.

If I want, I can get rid of unarmed Alex.

Actively using the Hero perk by five times experience, I almost surpassed him in just two years.

But he is a companion.

Unless I’m going to fight the Demon Lord Pedonar alone, I have to be with him for the rest of the adventure, whether I like it or not.

So you have to be patient.

– Alex, we’ll meet later on the 1st floor and think about how to make money.

I wonder again.

Is it okay for a Hero to be more worried about money costs than an attack by a Demon Lord?

***

Duke Kureil’s estate on the northern continent of Fantasy.

City walls, where the lord lives are very high and guarded, so it is difficult to get inside when the gate is closed.

So the townspeople must return home by sunset before the gate is closed.

And if you are late…

There will be no choice but to stay in a hotel outside the city walls, like us.

– Brother, thank you very much.

– Thank you too, Emily. There are not so many opportunities for increasing the level of the “Pacification” mastery.

– Ooh! I don’t want to leave.

– Let’s go faster.

Now that the gates of the city are open, she can return home.

Yes. Home…

I also have no time to play the fool. You have to work hard to get home. My parents are also worried. Maybe they even decided that I, who went missing two years ago, had already died.

– Sir Hero! Sir Hero!

– Stop yelling.

– It’s because you didn’t answer!

Archaeologist Lanuvel.

She guides the Hero on his adventures.

She easily notices traps in the dungeons, which may seem useful, but she immediately rushes to step into them…

– So what’s the matter?

– I know a way to make money and hire a partner!

– Good. I will listen and decide.

– Kaisa Kureil, the only daughter of Duke Kureil, is looking for a partner. She announced that she would marry the man who would defeat her in a sword fight.

– It seems that the rich lady knows how to handle the sword. But that sounds ridiculous. What if she is overpowered by some bandit leader? Will she marry him?

– She is the strongest swordswoman on the northern continent. That is why she was nicknamed the Princess of the Sword.

-…

The smile immediately left my face.

The strongest on the northern continent.

This woman, apparently, has no desire to get married.

And I guessed what Lanuvel would offer me.

– Sir Hero! You must get the Holy Sword!

– What if I don’t want to?

– After finding the Holy Sword, you can challenge the Sword Princess! Without him, you have no chance.

I looked at Alex, Aqua and the Saint who were standing behind Lanuvel.

– What do you think?

– The hero is still too weak.

– Lanuvel is right.

– The Holy Sword is very important.

They seem to agree with Lanuvel, who suggests finding the Holy Sword sealed on the northern continent.

We are already on the northern continent, so it would be logical.

Nevertheless…

– I will challenge the Sword Princess.

– Yes! Sir Hero! Lanuvel knows where the Holy Sword was sealed. Get it as quickly as possible and then you can already…

– No. I will challenge her now.

– It’s too reckless to challenge without the Holy Sword!

– Lanuvel, if I fail without the Holy Sword, you can give up this idea altogether.

– Give up the Sword Princess?!

– Yes.

The Holy Sword is a legendary weapon for fighting the Demon Lord Pedonar.

I have yet to see the woman called the Princess of the Sword, but I can guarantee.

The husband she is looking for must not rely on the force of arms, but on their own skills.

– Ha-ha! This is how it will be.

– The hero is such a fool.

– This is blasphemy. Putting women above the Sword Saint…

Alex, Aqua and Saint didn’t like my decision, but they didn’t mind it.

Because they respect me?

If it had been me a year ago, I might have thought so, but not now.

They enjoy such events much more than exploring dungeons and hunting monsters.

Participate in fights or watch other people’s fights.

– Then it’s settled.

– Lanuvel assures you, Sir Hero, you will regret this decision!

– I will not regret it. I don’t want to win by relying on the force of arms.

-…

We headed to the heart of Duke Kureil’s estate after Alex refunded the money the innkeeper.

For your information, I didn’t have enough money, so today I was left without breakfast.

***

I thought I could fight Countess Kaisa Kureil, known as the Sword Princess, right away, but things turned out to be a little more complicated.

Because there is only one bride, and there are hundreds of grooms.

She simply would not have time to fight each challenger, so she was a qualifying tournament in which the suitors competed for the right to challenge her.

To get into the tournament, you had to pass a basic check.

– You I don’t like you, “Count Lolicun, the old knight in charge of testing my skills, told me.

– What exactly do you dislike?

– Everything. Starting with the face.

-…

He seems to hate men who covet his mistress.

– But I will still share information. If you are confident in your victory, you can place a bet.

– Okay, I’ll keep it in mind.

I remembered how Lanuvel bragged about that she found a way to make money.

Apparently, she was talking about this.

But now I have money problems…

– If you have no money, go to the pawnshop near the arena. There you can leave valuables on bail and receive a certain amount at interest. If you win, you can get rich.

– Yeah. Thank you.

– If you are trying to win the heart of a strong and beautiful lady, you must have the courage to put everything you have on the line. Is not it?

– Ha ha ha…

I passed the test and left Count Lolikun, who gave me not the most kind advice.

Passing the arena, I saw a girl I knew. She noticed me too.

– Brother!

– Emily?

– Yes! This is Emily. I am very glad to see you again. There will be a tournament soon, so I came to see the list of participants ~

– I see.

BALLET

In her hands was a bag full of coins. And just by the sound I realized that these were coins of pure gold.

– I came to put the money.

– It can’t be… all this money?

– Yes! This is pocket money that I diligently saved up for a month.

– Here’s how.

The girl’s monthly maintenance was equal to the Hero’s annual living wage, but I decided not to mention it.

– Are you participating too?

– Yes.

– Wow! Be sure to win! I will cheer for you!

– Thank you.

At least someone supports me.

For the pocket money of the girl who supports me, you can try.

***

As they say: “Be careful with people close to you.”

When I lived on Earth, I didn’t know what that meant, but now I think I do.

– Bastards.

I I usually don’t swear, but this time I couldn’t help it.

Why would the people who cover your back in battle wish you defeat?

But that’s exactly what happened.

They put a laxative in my food.

But I have already entered the arena.

– Meet! Beloved daughter of Duke Kureil, the best beauty of the northern continent of Fantasy, who single-handedly killed 136 ogres, head of the Order of the Black Rose, one of the three strongest knights of the northern continent, guardian of the eastern part of the northern continent, commander of the eastern legion, deputy commander of the northern legion, honorary knight of the White Temple, Kureil Estate Guardian, Eir Sorcerer’s Master, Ice Troll Slayer, Thorny Black Rose! Countess Kaisa Kureil!

– Wow!

– Yes-ah-ah!

– Whoa-ooh!

The strongest swordsman of the northern continent has appeared on the battlefield.

Premium equipment, excellent condition, high performance. And outstanding beauty…

And on the other hand?

– Greet the man who wants to win the heart of Countess Kaisa Kureil. Kang Han Soo, swordsman from the central continent!

-…

-…

-…

Before that, they were constantly booing the members, but now they seemed to be amazed to see me. I suppose my tense face reminded them of some villain.

The stands were quiet.

However, thanks to Rumor (B), I could clearly hear whisper of a girl praying for me.

– Brother! Hold on!

It was the voice of Emily, the girl who put all her pocket money on me.

According to rumors, my victory was estimated at 1 in 200.

It doesn’t matter if I win or lose this fight, she will get her win.

I am now standing in front of the Sword Princess, because I have already won tournament.

– Dear swordsman, I watched your battles from somewhere in the middle of the tournament.

– Here’s how…

This is not very good.

I don’t know anything about fighting style of the Sword Princess, and she already knows about me.

This will not work.

Before you seriously fight the Sword Princess, you need get any information.

First, I’ll ask if she knows a lot about me.

– And what do you think of me?

-… at first I thought you were a pretentious man, but I was wrong. The barbaric face, deep bottomless gaze, rough bulging muscles and insane fighting spirit were really… beautiful.

– Thank you for the compliment.

I have teeth gritted from such humiliation.

Princess of the Sword.

As the most powerful swordsman on the northern continent, she thrives even in psychological warfare.

I asked her about my fighting style, and she talked about how outrageous I look.

– What do you think of me dear swordsman?

I couldn’t get the information I needed, and she’s already trying to get something out of me.

Hmm! If so…

I will reciprocate her and give the wrong answer.

– You look like a dazzling double moon in the night sky, to which it is impossible reach out with your hand. You are the perfect combination of strength and beauty.

– Ah…

Did my provocation work?

The Sword Princess’s face turned red.

Apparently out of anger.

Because her condition has become “Confused.”

She does not know that I am a Hero and can view someone else’s Status.

– Are you ready, Kaisa Kureil?

– Huh? Yes! Ready! W-well, not in that sense, but…

Fshuk! Fshuk! Fshuk!

Until Confusion disappeared from the Princess of the Sword state, I pounced on her, showering her with an incessant series of attacks.

Lanuvel, you look at? Even your laxative can’t stop me!

– Ha!

– Ah…

This was the beginning of my difficult relationship with the Sword Princess.
