Chapter 310 – Side Story 8. Heroes.
Ah.
Sierra had a dream. It was the vague dream she had had since childhood.
A man whose name is unknown. And, yourself. … Clearly she loved him. That’s why every time I see him, my emotions fluctuate like this.
… Could that be my past life?
I don’t know if it’s once or twice, but since I’ve had the same dream hundreds of times so far, I couldn’t help but have that suspicion. Of course, believing in dreams in modern times is as funny as believing in superstitions, but for some reason, I couldn’t get rid of the strange feeling.
6:55 am.
5 minutes before the alarm goes off. But she turned off the alarm and got up and headed to the shower. She took off the time she had stayed up all night and transformed into a clean look again.
She quickly finished a cup of coffee and a toast and headed to the Hero office. It’s like an unwritten rule for a D-class youngest hero to be the first to go to work and the last to leave, so he couldn’t help but live a more sincere life than others.
Riding along a quiet road in a small compact car, she soon arrived at an office where bright sunlight began to enter. She prepared several paper cups in advance, put mixed coffee powder in them, and waited for her seniors to come.
A peaceful morning with a beautiful sun rising.
Sierra looked at the sunlight outside her window with a blank look on her face for a moment. Then, by chance, she saw an unknown man of hers at the entrance of an alley.
Clearly, the two met eyes. He waved her hand at her, and she reflexively waved her hand too. Of course, the distance was so great that she didn’t recognize him at all.
… Who is it?
Was there a person she was glad to greet her with so warmly.
Hero Motivation? Seniors? … Or that annoying guy who chased after you for a long time?
Then someone entered the office. She turned her head and said hello to her teammate.
“Are you here?”
“Oh, yes. Just a cup of coffee.”
“Yes!”
And when she looked out her window again, he was no more.
· · ·
A-class hero, Erika Team.
The team leader, Erica, looked so young that her age, well over thirty, was not colorless, perhaps because of her youthful figure and appearance. In addition, her pink hair, which is difficult to digest even when she is barefoot, and a magical girl outfit that is a concept or something, were sometimes a bit burdensome even for Sierra, her youngest child. Of course, I’m used to it now and it’s fine.
Rumor has it that she took a break from her hero job for a while, shocked by her lover’s big heartbreak a few years ago, but then she returned. … She was told that she went through the portal without permission.
“Sierra-! Coffee.”
Lying around with her feet on her desk and fiddling with her cell phone, Erica made good use of Sierra as her errand boy. Of course, her youngest was ready to perform even a ridiculous dance if it was the command of the heavenly team leader.
“Yes, chief—!”
Sierra gently placed a steaming paper cup on the desk topped with chocolate. And she quickly sorted out the empty packaging and threw it into her trash can. Erica’s eyebrows curled slightly as if she was satisfied with her youngest child’s fast-moving behavior.
Haam-.
Bored yawns broke out here and there. Since the death of the monster king a long time ago, the world has enjoyed unprecedented peace for a while. Of course, monsters that were buried deep in the dungeon appeared occasionally, but these days, it was hard to see them once a week, probably because they were almost dry.
As there was no reason to select more heroes like that, the talented people had no choice but to fall into the path of darkness. So over the past few years, dozens of this dark organization, including talented people, have been created, and the Hero Association has come to deal with those who shake the public order with numerous crimes, not monsters.
After the boring morning, around the beginning of the afternoon after the lunch break—-.
Suddenly, the order to mobilize was given. It was a territorial battle between groups of monsters.
Erica, who was spying on her fan club community, jumped to her feet and did one look at her in front of her full-length mirror, and as she left, she exclaimed.
The team of four, including the team leader, immediately got into a van parked in the parking lot. The driver is a big bald head. His nickname is Kim Moose. He was so called because he applied mousse to his bald head.
“We are leaving.”
The van in which the Hero Four were riding roared along the road as if sliding. The location is 5 minutes from the office. It wasn’t too far.
They soon reached and alighted near a car that was burning and billowing black smoke like ink. And immediately after getting ready for battle, the citizens were forced to retreat.
“Arrived at the scene. I will fix it.”
Team leader Erica notified the headquarters, first saving the injured citizens and then exploring the surroundings.
All the monsters had already fled, but no special person was found. To prevent any further accidents, Sierra teamed up with Kimmus and searched the area further.
“These bastards are real.”
They had organized fights like this almost once every two days. Sometimes there were really big fights. Then, there would be a lot of damage to the civilians around. I fought so hard in the past that a three-story building collapsed.
So Erica strongly demanded that the headquarters replenish her team members to reinforce her team, but since all areas made such requests simultaneously, it was inevitable that the order would be delayed. Still, this is a place where the fighting is a little less, so there hasn’t been a big deal yet.
While looking around, Sierra found a suspicious person in a dark alley between buildings. … Her silhouette was clearly the same person she had seen earlier that morning.
That guy… !
Sierra called senior Moose and tracked him down together. The opponent quickly ran away.
Don’t miss it!
The two of them had no intention of missing out on this achievement that they had been able to capture for so long. Even if you catch the gang, it will be easier to follow the organization. If you do well, you may be promoted with a reward.
Of course, the senior Kimmus was much faster than Sierra. Kim Moose, blinded by the running reward, ordered his juniors to inform the team leader as soon as possible, and then disappeared in an instant to pursue him. Originally, the principle was to never fall apart as a pair of two, but the situation was such that the two of them fell apart.
Sierra clicks on her phone to call her boss, but suddenly something pokes her in the back.
“Stop moving.”
ㅡㅡ!!
Sierra stiffened like a statue of her. She never dreamed that she would be caught behind her.
Ki, senior Kim… ?
She didn’t move, only her eyes rolled from side to side. Cold sweat ran down her back. Only then did she realize her mistake.
I didn’t send you off alone.
Her whole body trembled at the terrible crisis she faced for the first time in her life. Didn’t she often hear stories of heroes who died after being captured by a group of monsters and tortured?
“Hey, it’s okay. Doesn’t hurt. Stay still. Don’t resist … Turn around slowly.”
Just then, the call was made with the manager.
– What’s the matter? Say. … Hey. Sierra? What’s the matter? Sierra?
“Spin.”
The opponent ordered that again. Sierra slowly turned to check on her opponent, holding her hands up.
… And, as soon as she saw his face, she was startled as if she had been struck by lightning.
ㅡㅡ!!
Exactly, the man in my dream.
Sierra left her mouth open and she just stared at him without saying anything. He looked at her and gave her a sweet smile.
“… You were here. Finally, I found it. Catherine.”
Catherine?
“What’s your name here?”
She had been taught the rules not to reveal any kind of information, but she revealed her name as if possessed by something of her own.
“… Sierra, yo…”
“Sierra…”
At that time, the man’s gaze went back to somewhere.
“… Apparently, the time and place are not good. Good. I’ll visit you again later Sierra. … Keep my story a secret Understand?”
Soon, a voice was heard calling Sierra from afar.
-Sierraaa.
It was team leader Erica’s cry. Sierra reflexively turned her head toward the sound of her voice. And looking ahead again… , The man really disappeared.
… Ah… !
She glanced around. But he was nowhere to be seen.
Ah-.
She finally met him in her dreams, but they parted again without knowing his name. That’s why she couldn’t understand why her heart hurt so much.
“Sierra—!”
Soon Erica and her teammate Hana appeared and approached Sierra. At about the same time, Kimmus reappeared.
“Hey, Kimmusu! What’s going on-?!”
A bald man, Moose Kim scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look and straightly reported that he had fallen out with Sierra while chasing after the monster. Erica jumped up and down what if she left her youngest child alone.
“Now the youngest goes with me. Okay?!”
“… Yes, chief.”
Still, everyone stroked her heart, saying that it was good that Sierra was safe. However, for some reason, Erica’s eyes were filled with doubt at Sierra’s unusual appearance.
There is something.
That’s what the pink-haired Choo shouted.
And, all the way back from Sierra’s collection of her case, she was lost in thought of the man.
