Chapter 37 – Twisted Tutorial (2)
Episode 37 Twisted Tutorial (2)
The alley where the devil and the saint left. There was a gaze that was watching from afar.
Confirming that the shady signs are gone, the woman puts down her small microscope.
“The real demon king came to visit you.”
His expression was full of confidence.
He lightly brushes his wavy orange hair with his hand and crosses his arms.
Proud and arrogant attitude. Her velvet dress and expensive jewellery, which she wore, gave her status.
He bit his lips as if thinking, his eyebrows twitching slightly.
“Hey. Working is good, but how about taking it easy?”
A soft, convincing voice. It was a beautiful voice that both men and women could look back on at least once.
The woman was only in a bad mood.
Who are you doing this for now? The woman nervously shook her head.
The owner of the voice let out a low laugh at the strangely dissatisfied expression.
“… You are right. The saintess is real… She betrayed the human world.”
“The saintess must have had her own circumstances, right?”
“Don’t you know when you see them together?! How long will I believe in the saintess!”
The woman made a nagging noise mixed with annoyance.
The owner of the voice just sips and drinks tea and listens to it quietly.
“Dafnell. Would you like some cake?”
“Mr. Lee!”
“… Then do I eat alone?”
Seeing her calmly eating even the cake, only my clothes burst.
Daphnell, who had been banging her head against her temples, looked out of her window again.
I saw a demon king and a saint pretending to be adventurers. Looking at the happy-looking side of the saintess’s face, her anger was intense.
They overturned the winning game with ease. Daphnell felt betrayed by the attitude of quickly accepting defeat.
How could a saintess who should stand against her demon tribe more than anyone else?
She wanted to grab her own collar, who had longed for and worshiped her saint.
“Mmmm, eating something really sweet makes me feel better.”
“You know what pisses me off more? It means that there is a hero in front of me who is sitting by the worst of the situation.”
Daphnell stares at Retina, the hero of this generation, in front of her eyes.
Surprisingly, she had many similarities with her former hero, Rex Etia.
Although her gender is different and her appearance is slightly different. She could be mistaken for her brother and sister by those who knew Rex.
Daphnell also knew Rex, so as soon as she saw Retina, she was stunned to think he had returned to life.
“It is not yet time.”
Slowly, Retina, who was enjoying her tea, slowly raised her eyes. Her golden eyes shone brightly.
Her brown hair, in a high ponytail, swayed as she nodded. Feeling her warlike spirit somehow reminded me of Rex.
Like Rex, he sometimes spits out incomprehensible words. Daphnell had his head pounding.
In response, Retina, who stroked her teacup with her thumb, smiled thinly.
“Let’s just watch. I think she’ll have to meet her to find out if the saintess really betrayed her.”
“Retina, do you speak very easily? How are you going to meet me?!”
“Ah, will you see the demon king too?”
“He’s real!”
Hero Retina leisurely drinks the remaining tea water.
Daphnell gets a headache when she sees her friend talking nonsense, and eventually puts her head on his head.
‘I’ll see you after a really long time.’
Retina ran the nape of her neck with her fingertips. At that moment, she felt a flash and a piercing pain in her heart.
The gaze slowly sank like impurities. As a result, the earrings holding the ancient relics shook and swayed.

At that time, the village center shelter.
‘There are only useless things.’
Ikarut looked through the bulletin board.
Advertising flyers and town newsletters attached to the deokji deokji. In addition to that, notices related to monster attacks were tightly attached.
There was not a single word written about the hero of the warrior.
“Heungheung♡ It’s really useless♡”
“Can’t you speak a little prettily? This is a window for the villagers to communicate with each other.”
“There is a lot of talk about insignificant livestock♡ Is such a thing really necessary? “
“… !Did you do that on purpose?!”
“♡”
As Lesilia raises her eyes, Lilith hums her oblivious song.
Since there is a relationship that does not match, a small quarrel follows. The villagers nearby were squabbling to the point of glancing at them.
“Adventurer, are you looking for something?”
Just then, a villager asked Ikarut indirectly.
Glancing at him, he saw an elderly man with his hands behind his back. He seemed to have lived in the village for a long time.
You know the warrior well. Ikarut nodded briefly and said only what was necessary.
“I was looking for a hero.”
“Heh heh, this is… “You asked a difficult question.”
The old man burst into a wild laugh and mumbled his wrinkled mouth.
Lesilia and Lilith were also watching with curious eyes. After a brief silence, their lips parted.
“If you’re talking about this great hero, I don’t know. Since this village was rumored to be the former great warrior’s hometown, the floating population has increased and it is crowded with pilgrim adventurers.”
The old man didn’t even know if this great hero existed or not.
You did well to release your men early. Ikarut, who discovered Belphegor’s test subject, nodded as if he understood.
Just as he was about to leave, the oblivious old man continued on with his words.
“Rex-nim has been a brave person ever since he was little. How many times did he stab the alleyways with a wooden sword to protect his one and only sister… Hehe, I was scolded by the adults a lot, but I was the first to help.”
I knew everything. While playing his hero countless times, he also suffered from his rushing and unnecessarily righteous personality.
To put it bluntly, game users called the hero Hogu. I was annoyed by the warrior who kept accepting requests like an idiot every time I did a quest.
In order to obtain experience and necessary compensation, he had no choice but to do so.
“Later, he was overjoyed when he heard the rumor that he had received an oracle from the saintess. He had no doubt that he would become a hero in the future… All of a sudden, that demon…”
Fufu, Lilith put her hand to her mouth and quietly let out a laugh.
Lesilia is busy looking sideways, as if uncomfortable. The demon king who killed the hero listened casually.
The old man could not continue his words. Facing her sorrowful old man, the saintess placed her palm on the back of her wrinkled hand. Because of her personality, she couldn’t see a human being in pain.
“Grandpa must have been very upset…”
“Haha… It’s a thing of the past, but it hurts to think of Rex who died in vain…”
“You must have been born with a different look. Because Gaia, the goddess who created all things, returns to the wheel of destiny through the wheel of fate.”
“I guess so… ? Thank you for your comfort. Adventurer.”
Even if she changed her appearance with magic, the saintess was a saint.
Seeing Lesilia’s benevolent smile, the old man puts her hands together as if moved by her.
“Once you know.”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but I hope you see the warrior.”
The ignorant old man laughed hee hee and lowered his head with both hands together. He was a courtesy to adventurers.
‘Where have you been? Rex Etia.’
There was no time. The energy of the warrior who disappeared starting from the village of Syllond.
If you don’t catch up quickly, the chase will start again.
As Ikarut’s footsteps turned to the other side, her saintess hurriedly followed.
“The hero has really disappeared♡ Like someone who wasn’t here before♡”
“We have to find it by all means.”
“Yes, I understand♡”
Lilith giggled and, like her acting, the pass disappeared.
She probably entered the dreams of humans who were napping. As the succubus suddenly disappears without a trace, Lesilia looks around her.
Villagers, no, Belphegor’s test subjects pretending to be villagers did their own thing. Only then did the saintess notice the strange atmosphere in the village.
“Lesilia Arnelle.”
Cheolguk! Ikarut grabs his collar, hidden by his cloak, and closes his face.
Lesilia was meekly led by her gentle pulling power. The two entered a narrow road. A shadow fell over the close-knit female body.
“Find the warrior’s energy. If you find it, I will give you a reward that will make you happy.”
At the word reward, her thighs clung to each other without a gap.
The half-rolled blue eyes were mixed with a bit of strange anticipation. His breathing was quite rough.
“Yes, Master… ♡”
Lesilia nodded her head with a flushed face.
***
Late evening. By the time the lights go out one by one in the town buildings.
The shadows grew thicker on the faces of the two sitting in the shelter.
“… I’m sorry, my lord…”
Lesilia, who begged for her forgiveness, let out a deep sigh.
Icarut wandered around the village accompanied by her saintess. She went all over the town, which was quite large and wide, and spread her divine power.
There was no building I hadn’t been to, so everything about her showed her face.
“I can’t feel the hero’s energy at all…”
Lesilia lowered her eyes. Her drooping shoulders, her fidgeting fingers, seemed like she was terrified that she wouldn’t be praised.
I didn’t know how the hero hid himself.
The saintess was also perplexed. Even if they hid their energy with magic artifacts, they were exposed in front of divine power.
In front of the transparent mirror-like divine power, the warrior’s energy was not felt at all.
“This is the first time this has happened… If the hero is really alive… You can definitely feel the energy.”
When the word hinted at her death came out, the saintess bit her mouth shut.
‘Then, what energy did you discover then?’
That unique aura cannot be fake. While Ikarut was deep in thought, Lesilia brought her hands together and bowed her face.
Her dripping hair was deeply shaded as if to hide her expression.
“Excuse me… Excuse me… ?”
“… ?!”
A woman quietly appeared and greeted her. When Lesilia is startled, she steps back as if surprised.
Then she gently puts her hand to the corner of her mouth.
“Oh! I’m sorry to startle you all of a sudden. I’ve been watching the two of you since the afternoon, but maybe it’s because there’s no place to stay… I want to.”
“Ah…”
It is already midnight.
When the moonlight that was buried in the clouds leaked in, Lesilia was making a dumbfounded expression. She was restless, as if she hadn’t realized it had taken so long.
The gate has not yet been integrated. It took a whole day before the gate opened. He had no intention of returning until he found the hero.
As a demon, Ikarut has a strong body, so he doesn’t get sick. The saintess was a weak human being.
“Because of the monster nest that has recently appeared, all the inns in the village will be filled with mercenaries.”
“It’s a monster’s nest… Could it be that the monster has appeared again?”
“Yes! It looks like you came to the village in the middle of an adventure… If it’s okay with the two of you, it’s okay if you stay at my house for a while.”
“Are you all right… ?”
“Sure!”
The woman who offered my house as a lodging without hesitation smiled brightly.
Then Ikarut snooped her head crookedly at her. Wrinkling the back of her nose together, it somehow resembles someone.
‘Who did he resemble?’
Her memory seemed to fade. As the dark clouds slowly cleared over her, pure white moonlight fell on the shelter.
Light brown short hair style. The gold eyes, which seemed to have faded, were meekly set.
A waist that curves slightly to the side under the bouncy breast line exposed over the clinging clothes.
He was wearing short shorts that exposed his large buttocks.
She thought it was a face she had seen many times somewhere.
“Warrior… ?”
“Yes?”
Lesilia widened her eyes. She was the face of the hero she knew.
And Ikarut was also the person she knew best.
“I-I am not a warrior, am I? Ah, come to think of it, my introduction is late. I am not the hero, but Lucy Etia.”
The sister of the hero who died in the tutorial quest.
It was Lucy Etia.
