Heroes Are Not Subject to NTR. (Not NTR) 62

Chapter 62 – Support

He must have roughly guessed Martha’s true nature, but seeing her like that in front of her eyes was quite a shock, but Horde didn’t say anything.

In the meantime, Marta has tried to avoid contact with the Horde as much as possible, so it was the first time she had been so aggressively condemning the Horde.

‘I just came without thinking…’

It was an unintended pleasure for Lina, who had come to watch the hero resting innocently without any selflessness.

But the adventure was about to end, and the state of the Horde made it seem like the skit might come to an end soon.

“There is nothing wrong with what Martha said. Because you ruined their lives.”

“…”

Could it be that the guilt of ruining the life of a loved one came belatedly?

After the library incident, Lina thought that all her love for them had disappeared from her Horde’s heart, but it seems that a little remained.

Of course, when the parties hear that fact, they are dumbfounded, so they won’t even laugh.

“… So what are you going to do now?”

“What’s wrong…”

“That’s what Martha said earlier. Will she stay or will she leave.”

Perhaps even if the Horde said they would stay or leave, the hero wouldn’t stop them.

Now, as long as they move on a large scale, there is no point in having a Horde, and more than anything else, the Horde is only dangerous.

“Whatever you choose, you are free. Whichever you choose, I will respect your choice. Oh, and this…”

Lina handed Horde a vial of purple liquid from a small bag slung around her waist.

Not as much as Lina, but Horde, who had been an adventurer for a long time, saw the color of the liquid in the bottle and immediately recognized what it was.

“… Even if you leave here, they’ll be able to find and kill you somehow. I’ll give it to you in advance so you can leave anytime.”

Hod, who was handed the bottle of poison in silence, looked at it blankly and asked.

“… Are you very sick?”

“Of course it hurts. The only poison that does not hurt is poison for self-determination, so why would I carry such a thing?”

Lina chuckled at Horde, who cared about the pain she felt until she got to this point.

Her three days, as Martha said, hadn’t even passed yet, and she had already forgotten her faults, and she was worried about her own body.

“Still… It won’t take that long. 5 minutes at most? Since you’re weak, it might end sooner, and if you’re really scared, why don’t you drink and eat?”

Horde hesitated while holding onto his bottle, and put it into his arms.

“Then I’m leaving. I don’t know if I’ll see you tomorrow or not… Still, I’m praying that this disappointing farewell won’t be the last.”

So Lina left and Horde was left alone in an empty tent.

“… Are you leaving?”

A new option was presented, but the Horde did not find it attractive at all.

Anyway, with the strength and power of two people, it is not that difficult to find and capture a Horde.

On the contrary, if he misses the party, he might try to kill him now, saying that it will become a nuisance later.

Besides, even if you succeed in escaping somehow, isn’t what remains after that is a life where you go back to the lowest level of life and tremble with death that may come anytime.

In the end, after much thought, Horde’s choice was to remain.

The Horde silently drove the wagon, receiving the cold stares of Martha and the adventurers who felt while staying at the party.

And, as Martha had predicted, it didn’t take long for the guilt to fade from Hod’s heart.

– Well, well…

Grindella gulped and watched as Mirian munched on a sandwich in the kitchen in the corner of the supply base.

“Hey, how does it taste?”

It would be more difficult to make something tasteless that even a child like a sandwich could make, but even this was nerve-wracking for Grindella, who had lived a life far from cooking all her life.

-Gulp.

Mirian, who savored the sandwich, said to the nervous Grindella as he gulped down the sandwich.

“It is perfect. At this level, the hero will surely be satisfied.”

“Is that so… !!”

At that, Grindella let out a sigh of relief and looked at the sandwiches piled on the plate.

It wasn’t that great of a dish, but because it used fresh vegetables and meat from Tektis, the taste was pretty good compared to what’s sold in stores.

‘How did this happen…’

She was Mirian, who promised to help Grindella with her love story, but even her real Mirian was far from a normal love affair.

But one day, she remembered her father’s saying that living with a woman who is good at cooking would be fun for the rest of her life, and came to the conclusion that she should cook for her.

“It’s lunch time… Shall we go right away?”

“That, that’s because I was a little nervous…”

“Be brave. Even if it didn’t taste good, the hero would be happy just bringing it.”

“…”

After hearing Mirian’s words, Grindella made up her mind and put a plate of sandwiches on her tray and came out.

I knew the area where the hero was working today, so I was able to head straight to the hero without getting lost.

“… Huh? Something seems particularly dusty.”

On the way to the hero, the first thing I felt was Mirian, who was walking in front of me.

As she moved forward, she noticed the dirt on her armor and she sensed something was wrong.

Yes, since we are working on demolition and handling debris, it is natural that there will be dust, but the amount was too much.

“Something happened…”

“Maybe it is… Martha?”

Mirian, who was doing something else and looking out there, raised her eyes when she saw Martha running towards her, scattering dust.

While she was working, she was Martha, who was in charge of healing the injured, but when she was not working, she was always by the warrior’s side, so it wasn’t unusual for her to be here.

But why is it running towards this direction in such a hurry?

“Hey… What’s going on? In such a hurry…”

Marta, who ran away with a mischievous smile, did not answer the question, and she continued to run past Mirian and Grindella.

Then, as if chasing after Martha, Rose cut through the wind and headed in the direction Martha ran.

“Up to the Rose ball… Could it be that something happened to the hero?”

“… No, I don’t think it’s like that.”

The tiger also said that he would come if he said it, and the hero followed and flew in the direction Martha and Rose had gone.

“…”

“…”

The two of them stared at the sky blankly with a fish-eyed expression on their faces.

“Ha… Ha…”

“Hey there!”

Another adventurer ran after him, gasping for breath, and Mirian called and stopped the adventurer.

“What the hell happened?”

“That, that… Rose brought a sandwich to the hero for dinner… Marta-nim snatched it and ate it instead of the hero.”

“… From then on, I think I’ll know even if I don’t say anything.”

It is said that people think there and there, but even a genius wizard didn’t seem to have anything special with Mirian or Grindella when it came to dating.

Enraged, Rose rips Marta’s belly open and threatens to get her sandwich out again, and Martha must have run away, teasing Rose.

As the scene was vividly reproduced as if she had seen it right in front of her eyes, Mi An smiled bitterly.

After a while, when the hero returned to the place where he was working, the hero landed on the floor with Martha and Rose on each side with a tired expression.

It looked like a mother scolding her child, and Grindella laughed.

Rose, struggling with her body in midair while still being restrained by the hero, delivered a blow that did not even reach Martha on the other side of her and said,

“Leave this! I’m going to break her habit today!”

“I know you’re upset, but calm down!! And Martha apologizes quickly!”

“Sorry. Stop because I’m so hungry… But it wasn’t that tasty, so I’ll make something else for you later.”

“Aaaaa!!!!”

Rose became even more enraged and threw her fist at Martha, but her fist didn’t touch her at all.

Mirian, who had been quietly watching the scene, said to the hero that he wanted to be at this time.

“Hero, actually, Grindel also made a sandwich to give to the hero.”

“Uh? Miss Grindella?”

As Mirian spoke, the eyes of the hero and the two people at his side turned to Grindella.

“Oh… !”

Rose’s eyes sharpened when she heard her say it was her sandwich, and she reached out to grab Grindella’s sandwich as if to say that I couldn’t stand it alone.

Similarly, Marta reached out for her Grindella’s sandwich as if to block it this time as well.

“Uh… ! Why all of a sudden You struggle like that!”

The hero was taken aback when the two suddenly struggled, but the two reached out to snatch the sandwich without hesitation.

However, their hands never touched the sandwich. Their hands did not reach the sandwich and were blocked by Mirian’s armor.

“Grindella! It is now!!”

When Mirian shouted, Grindella, who was half-excited, came to her senses, grabbed a sandwich, and headed for the hero.

“Yo, hero, please eat this… !”

“Yes?! Ah yes…”

The hero could not receive the sandwich because he was holding Martha and Rose with both hands.

“Let’s eat later…”

“Then that… Ah, ah…”

When Grindella said that, the hero put on an apologetic expression and opened his mouth countless times.

When the sandwich tried to enter the hero’s mouth, the two struggled, but they could not overcome it with their own strength.

Eventually, despite the strong interference of the two, the sandwich entered the warrior’s mouth and the warrior ate the sandwich.

-Gulp

The hero, who swallowed the sandwich in one bite, licked his lips for a while before speaking to Grindella.

“It’s so delicious! Thank you so much for making such delicious food!”

“Oh, no. That much…”

When Grindella scratched her head in embarrassment, Mi-an gave a hearty smile.

However, contrary to Mirian, the two people caught in the arm of the warrior clicked their tongues without hiding their uncomfortable appearance.

As the time of not knowing if it was so harmonious or not continued, the long-awaited messenger of the kingdom riding a black horse came from afar.

“Hero! Where is the warrior!”

“Ah, here it is!”

When the hero shouted and raised his hand, the lion hurriedly ran to him.

“I am Menku, the messenger of the Biltan Kingdom. I have brought a message from His Majesty to the hero!”

“Yes, please tell me.”

When the hero spoke, Menku conveyed the king’s message with a dignified attitude as if he were replacing the king.

The king’s message was that he wanted to hold a banquet with the announcement of the hero, so he wanted the hero and his companions to participate.

Aside from the public announcement, the hero was not very reluctant to attend banquets, but he nodded for the time being.

Since there was nothing more to say than this, the hero thought that Menku would return immediately, but Menku did not return right away and looked back at Grindella and said,

“Oh, and… Grindella, the leader of the Azul Revival Adventure Team, also has a message.”

At the unexpected call, Grindella tilted her head and asked the lion.

“Message? Are you talking to me?”

“Yes. This hasn’t been formally decided yet, but His Majesty has said that he wants to help rebuild the Azul Kingdom.”

“… Ji-won?!!”
