Chapter 11 – Everyone’s Champion
“… Fuck year…”
Martha, who usually never curses at her, flowed out of Martha’s mouth, and the hero looked at Martha with an expression of disbelief.
Martha, who belatedly realized what she was talking about, cleared her throat and said to the warrior:
“… Alas, I was drunk and unknowingly threw evil words into my mouth. Warrior, please go over today’s work with a generous heart…”
“Oh, no. Martha is a human being too, so she can swear.”
The warrior smiled and tried to lighten the atmosphere a little bit, but it was in vain.
The reactions of the party members gathered here were greatly divided at YuRia’s words.
Needless to say, Martha was very angry and even cursed at the moment.
Mirian and Yuria were curious about the hero’s answer, so they pricked up their ears and focused.
What is Lina… As always, no, as much as she had snacks and drinks, she was more excited than usual, and as she waited for the hero’s answer, she grinned.
And as soon as Horde heard Yuria’s words, even though she wasn’t drunk yet, her face turned red and glared at her food in front of her own seat as if to kill her.
“Warrior… So what are you going to do?”
“Yes? Do I have to answer this?”
“Mr. YuRia. If you don’t do it in moderation, you can get really angry.”
“You are still angry.”
After that incident, Yuria stood in front of Marta, unable to move, but perhaps her drinking gave her courage.
“I am also curious.”
“You’re also curious about Mirian… Let me hear…”
“You guys are really dead…”
When Mirian joined in, it reached the point where the blood vessels on Martha’s forehead, who were already angry, stood out.
Unable to see the sight, the warrior put the glass he was holding down on the table so that it made a sound.
“… If you want to hear that much, I’ll tell you. I… As long as I am a hero, I cannot connect with anyone.”
“… Yes?”
When Martha made an expression as if she had been hit in the back with her club, the hero continued.
“A hero should not be someone’s hero, but everyone’s hero. For example… YuRia, if I marry a princess from this country, what do you think people from other countries will think of me?”
“Um… Then the impression of being a hero of the Biltan Kingdom will be stronger.”
If she connects with the saint of the Holy Nation, the image of her as a hero of the Holy Nation will be strengthened, and the same will be true even if the Holy Nation is substituted for another country.
Although the demon king appeared and mankind united, the sediment created over hundreds of years did not completely disappear.
Even now, at first, they cooperate with each other, but behind the scenes, they were at odds with each other for historical or political reasons.
However, it wasn’t hard to imagine what would happen if a hero became someone’s hero instead of everyone’s hero.
“Therefore… As long as I’m a hero, I can’t connect with anyone. And it’s a bit personal, but…”
“… What?”
“If… If the moment comes when I have to choose between the person I love and my mission as a hero, I don’t know which one to choose.”
Hearing that, Mi An looked completely hopeless and rather refreshed, and Yuria shuddered as she slammed her face into the table.
And Martha…
“Warrior… Are you sure you’re saying that you can’t go out with anyone ‘while you’re a hero’?”
With a rather serious expression, he asked the warrior with his face down, perhaps embarrassed.
“… Huh. Sorry for something You didn’t even confess to me, but the atmosphere has become cold.”
“… No, thanks! If what the hero said is true, then I… I will wait for the day when the hero becomes just ‘Yoa’.”
“You don’t have to wait…”
“No, I will definitely wait.”
Saying that, he smiled at the hero.
Mirian and Horde, who were watching the scene, tilted their heads as they did not understand the meaning of the words.
And in contrast to the reactions of the two who did not understand, the reactions of the two who understood the meaning of the words were divided into tears and laughter.
*****
After Yuria’s question, it was late at night and the atmosphere had calmed down considerably, so Hero and the others walked out of the restaurant and dispersed.
“I’m going to go back to the inn after walking for a bit to get myself drunk.”
Upon hearing those words, Martha crossed her arms and said to the warrior who said that.
“I’m a little drunk… Would it be all right if I walked a little with the hero?”
“… Are you okay. But what will everyone do?”
Mi An said, supporting Yuria, who was completely intoxicated by the hero’s question, with her one shoulder.
“I will take responsibility for Yuria and take her to the inn.”
“… I still have work to do, so I’ll look around a bit and then go in.”
“I ate too much, so I need to digest it.”
That’s how Hero’s party went on their way.
Mirian watched the warrior leave with Martha and then headed to the inn, supporting her Yuria.
After returning to the inn, Mi An found that Yuria’s room was locked, so he went into his room first and laid her on the bed.
“Yuria… Are you okay? She might bring you some water if she still hasn’t come to her senses.”
“… Are you okay. Thank you.”
YuRia, who hadn’t said a word until entering her inn, opened her eyes softly and looked inside Miri.
“Yuria… You have tears in your eyes…”
“… I shed some tears.”
Having understood her hero’s words at the restaurant earlier, Yuria didn’t just shake her body with joy, she sobbed and shuddered.
Looking at Yuria’s red eyes, Mirian, who thought that Marta, who had been dumped by a warrior, was unattractive in her heart, asked her.
“Yuria… Did the hero’s words hide any other meaning? I don’t know at all…”
“… The warrior said ‘While I’m a warrior’, I can’t go out with anyone. Then, if the Demon King dies, is there really a need to be a hero?”
“… !!”
Hearing those words, Mirian felt as if he had been hit hard in the back of the head.
“Wait, if you wait… !! If I waited, you might have accepted my heart… Me, i… !! I don’t even know that… !!”
Realizing her own illusion, Yuria began to weep, shedding her tears.
Even if she tries not to think about it, she keeps thinking about what would have happened to her if she had confessed properly after defeating the demon lord.
Yuria and Mirian shed tears in agony at the IF, which could not exist anymore.
“Hey, hey… !!”
Yuria, who had been crying for a while, suddenly frowned at her and then clenched her fists and slammed her genitals, shouting.
“You stupid!! Dirty!! Because of her pussy!!”
Unable to see her YuRia continue to beat her own genitals, Mi An stopped her by grabbing her hand as she was beating herself.
“Leave this… ! This… !!”
Mi-an warmly embraced the struggling Yu-Ria, telling her to let go of her hand.
Although I couldn’t feel her soft touch because of the hard armor that wrapped around her body inside her miri, I felt like I could feel the warm touch inside her breast just by hugging her body like this.
“Calm down, calm down…”
“Oh… ! Ooh, ooh… !!”
That night, Yuria didn’t care about the gazes around her and shed tears in Mirian’s arms until the day dawned on her.
The two of them were like lost dogs in a fight, but they were able to lick each other’s wounds like this.

“Why are you following me…”
“Aren’t you following me? Am I just going my own way?”
“Not even a kid… Wow!”
Horde spat on the side of the road and glared at Lina, who grinned at what was so fun.
“What does that mean… ?”
“I said it before, but don’t omit the subject?”
“… What Martha said she was waiting for. What does that mean?”
“Ah, that? Literally. If the Demon King disappears, there will be no need for a hero, right?”
If that happens, Yoa will escape from the mission of being a warrior and become free in the true sense of the word.
Even if he received his heart from someone else, he had to do so after being freed from the hero.
“How stupid… If I were a hero, I wouldn’t have cared about that and would have eaten everything.”
“When I think like that, I can’t be chosen as a hero. By the way, I thought about it before, why do you hate heroes so much?”
At first, Lina thought Horde’s principle of behavior was inferiority complex, but as time passed, she seemed to be more than just that.
Her inferiority complex did not arise unconditionally just because she saw someone better than her.
An inferiority complex is something you have for people who are within reach.
What kind of porter is not just an adventurer, but has an inferiority complex to a hero chosen by the gods?
“…”
Horde stopped in her place and said, shaking her teeth as if recalling a memory she didn’t want to recall.
“The bastard… They laughed at me.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
When Lina raised her eyes, as if to ask what bullshit she was talking about, Horde glared at her.
“I am… He is from the kingdom of Azul, which was destroyed decades ago. When I first met him, I told him I was from Azul and he laughed at me!!”
“Azul? Ahhh…”
Lina remembered the country of Azul and understood the heart of the Horde.
Now, the big countries in various places were somehow blocking the invasion of the demon army, but not all countries prevented the invasion of the demon army.
Azul was one of the many small countries that were destroyed by the Demon King’s Army, and was close to the Biltan Kingdom.
Refugees who somehow survived and fled to neighboring countries were naturally discriminated against, and the Horde was no exception.
‘That fucking hypocrite… !!’
When Horde was first laughed at, he wasn’t particularly upset, as it was something he’d always been through.
However, when he learned that the hero was a hero, seeing that he was laughing at himself just because he was a citizen of a fallen country that he was a savior who would save mankind, Horde felt a great sense of betrayal.
That’s why he tried all sorts of ways to take the woman of the hero with the intention of revenge.
But now that all of that was in vain, Horde was left with an inferiority complex.
“Then what… It’s not that I don’t understand, but… Did the warrior really do that? Aren’t you just mistaken?”
“… If you don’t want to believe it, don’t believe it.”
Horde jerked his head away and hurried away, and Lina followed her, grinning as if to please her.
“By the way, YuRia must be crying very hard by now.”
“What the fuck is that?”
“That’s right, I was thinking of keeping the hero and the saint in check, but looking at what happened today, it ended up connecting the hero and the saint.”
If it was Mirian, who was dull, he wouldn’t know, but if it was YuRia, he would understand the meaning.
“She was sobbing earlier, but when she enters the inn she won’t even notice Martha the Dragon Lover, she’ll be crying a lot.”
“…”
Upon hearing Lina’s words, she took on the impression of Horde, and she became enraged as she remembered the two whom she once thought were her own women.
“Fuck… The bitches who were lying under me… What’s so good about that Hero bastard…”
“Instead of a nice, handsome, and capable man, what woman would like a man who has nothing but a sex tool? No, wait… Is the warrior small? Come to think of it, haven’t you seen it?”
As Lina took seriously the size of her champion’s penis, her jealous Horde shuddered at the thought of them.
“Whoa, bitches like sluts…”
“What is a rag… That’s right, but that doesn’t mean you’re not in a position to curse at me, right? To be honest, you’re not that proud either.”
“Shut up! Those years… It was me, my woman! But he dared to betray me and to that hero…”
“… Her.”
Lina, who looked at her words with amazement, said to Horde with a smile.
“You… Do you like them?”
