Chapter 14 – No Cat Fights.
“Hero, this is Martha! Are you here?”
Hearing Martha’s voice, the hero and Yuria hardened into different meanings.
-Smart.
YuRia’s heartbeat started to fluctuate at the sound of knocking again.
It was just a knocking sound, but to Yuria’s prickly ears, the knocking sound felt like the footsteps of a god of death.
“Hero?”
She knocks on the door several times, but when there is no answer, the doorknob starts turning by Martha’s hand.
Seeing the doorknob turn, Yuria stood up and locked the doorknob with a quick movement that made it hard to believe that she was a wizard.
-Clap!
As the doorknob locked with a clang, and the door would not open, there was a chilly silence both inside and outside the door.
“Yuria why…”
“Shh!”
When the hero, who was not sure how the situation was going to turn out, opened his mouth, Yuri was startled and covered the hero’s mouth.
“…”
But it was already too late.
“… You are inside.”
-Clap! Clap!
The doorknob begins to shake, and the dry sound of metal clanking reverberates through the room.
Contrary to the usual lithe tone, a chilly aura flowed through the door beyond the door, as if even the hero was getting chills.
“Are you with someone else inside?”
– Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!
As the doorknob and door shook with a clang sound, as if an earthquake had occurred, the bodies of YuRia and the hero watching the scene began to tremble like an aspen tree.
Even though Marta must have known that the door wouldn’t open if she turned the doorknob like that, the sound of turning the doorknob didn’t stop.
“Hero, who are you with?”
– Clap!! Clap!!
“I don’t think it’s Lina-san…”
– Clap!! Clap!!
“Are you going to stay with YuRia or Mirian?”
– Clap!! Clap!! Clap!! Clap!!
“… Is it like that?”
After that, Martha didn’t say anything to the hero and didn’t turn the doorknob meaninglessly.
“Merciful Lord, grant strength to this lowly servant.”
Instead, he performed a physical strengthening miracle on his own body.
Martha’s body began to glow with a warm light, and her physical abilities increased greatly to the point where she was incomparable to her before.
‘Papa, I need to change quickly… !!’
Instinctively recognizing Martha’s strength, which could be felt even beyond her door, Yuria reached out her hand toward the clothes she had taken off earlier.
-Bang!
However, just as YuRia was about to put on her clothes, she pierced near her doorknob with a roar, and Martha’s beautiful hand reached out from the hole.
“?”
“?”
The hero and Yuria hardened as they saw the scene, which made them question whether it was real or not.
While the two of them were frozen, the hand that had come out of the hole went back in, and soon Martha’s golden eyes appeared from the hole.
‘… Martha’s eyes were yellow.’
She used to be a Martha with eyes that didn’t know whether they were closed or open, but now she was looking into her room with deadly eyes as if she were looking at the demon lord.
Looking into her room, Martha heard a roar as she was about to change her clothes, and when she saw Yuria’s frozen back, she began to shake.
“… A slut.”
Thinking that he would never see Martha swear at her again, the hero doubted his own ears at Martha’s swearing.
Martha’s eyes, which had been staring at the room for a while, disappeared and Martha’s hand reached out from the hole again.
However, this time, the hand did not stay still and groped for the door, finding the doorknob inside and turning it to unlock the door.
-Click!
Along with the sound of the door being unlocked, the sound of rusty hinges echoed throughout the room and the door slowly began to open.
Putting on her jacket before she knew it, Yuria hid behind the hero like her frightened cat.
In an awkward situation, as if the main wife had entered while having an affair, the two looked at the door that slowly opened with tension.
The two expected that Marta would be very angry and put on her demonic face, but Martha’s expression was unexpectedly gentle.
“Sorry, warrior! I wondered if something had happened, so I broke down the door and came in!”
“Oh, no… It’s because I didn’t answer quickly, so I’ll go back later to apologize to the innkeeper with the repair fee.”
“… It’s my fault, and I’m really sorry for bothering you, warrior.”
When Martha said that and lowered her head, the two of them became angry, wondering if they could move on with this.
“However… What were you two doing here?”
However, she immediately turned her face blue again, which had brightened at the sound of Martha’s voice.
“… Ma, I was training for magic.”
“Why are you taking off your clothes during magic training? Why are you so sweaty, Hero?”
If one was undressed and the other was drenched in sweat, it would be misleading enough.
“Sweat… I met Yuria while doing physical training at dawn earlier. So there was no time to wash.”
After the hero explained that, Marta smiled and asked Yuria who was hiding behind the hero.
“Ah, that’s right! But then, why was YuRia taking her clothes off?”
“… Because I trained in magic.”
“Why does Ms. YuRia need to take off her clothes during magic training?”
“…”
The warrior’s eyes, who did not understand even after hearing Yuria’s explanation, naturally turned to Yuria, who was hiding behind him.
“… If you want to feel the magical power of an opponent, you have to feel it directly with their heart…”
“Does that mean I need to take off my clothes? First of all, I hadn’t heard of such a training method…”
“… This, there is Mana is different from divine power, so Marta doesn’t know, but she…”
At first glance, it seemed that a war of nerves was going on between YuRia and Martha, as if sparks were flying, but the reality was different.
Unlike Marta, who stood proudly with her benevolent expression on her face, Yuria’s body trembled like an aspen tree as she crouched behind the hero.
In the middle of a unilateral beating, not a confrontation, the warriors caught in the middle had no choice but to keep their mouths shut.
It was difficult for him to open his mouth easily because he was somewhat responsible for the reason that things had happened.
“In the first place…”
Marta, as if not letting go of her luck, approached Yuria, who was hiding behind her warrior.
“The problem starts with the fact that someone who has a boyfriend takes off his coat and acts indecently like that with another man.”
Shrinking at that aggressive tone, Yuria cautiously raised her head and spoke.
“… Chu, it’s not an obscene act.”
“No matter how much you say you are a hero, if a woman who has a lover is not an obscene act by exposing her breasts to another man, then what the hell is that? There’s no way the hero would have easily started doing this in the first place, so you said to massage her breasts while talking about training? It’s not an obscene act to have your breasts massaged while making an excuse for training.
“Huh… ! Oh no… ! Me, I’m really going to train…”
Real or fake tears flowed from YuRia’s eyes, but Martha didn’t stop.
“Why are you crying? You’re not a child, so you think you’ll be forgiven for crying?”
“Eh, Martha, like that…”
As Yuria shed her tears, the hero reached her hand toward her Martha’s shoulder to dry her.
“Warrior…”
Perhaps the sight of her hand brought her to her senses, Martha looked at her hand and said to her warrior,
“… You said earlier that she was training in magic, right? Is that training over?”
“… Yes? Thats what…”
The door is smashed and Yuria is crying, but there is no way she can continue training.
“Then! Next time, let’s train with the divine power! What are you doing here, at the temple nearby…”
“It doesn’t matter…”
She was a warrior who thought that once she would calm down Yuria, but if she did, her mouth wouldn’t drop when she imagined what kind of reaction Martha would have if she said such a thing.
‘No, do I have to separate Martha from Yuria as soon as possible?’
When the hero, who had thought that far, tried to leave the room with Martha, Yuria, who was behind her, grabbed the hero’s pants and said,
“Oh, no… !”
“…”
Martha, who was about to leave her room with her hero, grabbed her hero’s pants and looked at Yuria, who was drooping, with her cold eyes and said,
“… What’s wrong?”
“That that… Today, ah, you must be tired from training in the morning, so that training will come later…”
“Ahaha!!”
Hearing her words, Martha laughed out loud at her and whispered into YuRia’s ear as she sat down on the floor.
“You’re not even a ‘porter’, are you tired?”
“… !!”
Upon hearing that, YuRia’s hand, which was holding on to the warrior’s trousers, began to lose its strength.
“Yuria…”
Seeing her droopy Yuria, the hero, feeling sympathy, stretched out her hand toward her, but Martha was not the one to watch it.
“Warrior… Here, Ms. YuRia will give her time to gather her mind, and we will leave quickly.”
“No, but…”
“Do you want the same thing to happen again today? For Mr. Horde, here, Ms. Yuria should be given time to reflect on herself.”
“… Oops.”
When Horde’s name came up, the hero who felt guilty for Horde reluctantly left the room as Martha had said.
Just before leaving the room after sending the hero first, Martha stuck her face out the door.
Suddenly wondering what was going on, YuRia raised her head, and Martha put on a playful expression that she had never shown even to her warriors and spoke in a voice so low that only YuRia could hear.
“A mop remains a mop even if you wash it, and a used mop remains second-hand even if it is repackaged.”
“… !!”
After Martha’s words, the door closed with a bang, leaving only YuRia in the room.
“… Fuck.”
Even though she knew she was in no position to be angry, she couldn’t contain the anger welling up from the depths of her heart.
-Thud!
All of a sudden, Yuria was banging the floor of her inn with her bare hands as if expressing her anger at losing her place to go.
Every time Yuria’s delicate hand, which is neither a warrior nor anything, hits the floor, blood starts to flow along with a terrible pain in her hand.
However, no matter how painful it is, YuRia’s fists do not stop, no matter how much her blood flows.
Every time she recalled the face of Martha, who had let her warrior go and talked about rags and all, her pain disappeared and only fiery anger dominated Yuria’s heart.
-Thud! Thud! Thud!!
Yuria’s punching was finally over until her floor was stained with blood and dented.
After her fisting, Yuria muttered to herself as she looked at her blood-stained hands.
“I won’t give it to you…”
Even if you hear that you have no conscience…
Even if you hear that you don’t even know shame…
Even if she knows she’s wrong… Still… Won’t give it to you
‘To do that, first…’
First of all, as before, even when the hero was training, she had to become strong enough to rely on herself.
YuRia and a warrior with talents comparable to hers caught her clue to jump over the wall during such mischievous training and assembled the mana that had not yet become a circle into a single circle.
‘What a wonderful talent…’
Admiring her heroic talent, Yuria rose from her seat and returned to her own room.
And she really challenged the wall she hadn’t been able to overcome in a long time.
