Chapter 2 – #1 Fearsome Warrior (1)
――I had a nightmare.
A sight that I have seen so many times that I don’t know how many times now.
When I saw the terrible and miserable scenery of that day in my dream, I felt bad from the moment I woke up in the morning.
“… Tsk…”
I pushed away the blanket that covered my body with a rustle,
Contrary to her dream, Emilia Edenberts, the heroic young lady who has now become an adult… She got out of bed
* * *
After washing up in her bathroom, Emilia came out into the living room naked, as was her usual habit.
All the water that was soaking her fresh skin was wiped off, and her long, shiny blond hair was brushed with special care.
Her father complimented her, and her beautiful hair resembles her mother’s.
As for Emilia herself, she wasn’t particularly obsessed with her appearance, but she wanted to leave at least as many elements as possible to prove that she was her mother’s daughter.
From her point of view, it might not be a very wise choice, but
For her, who has no graves of her parents, and hardly any of her belongings, let alone photos of her, remain.
Her own resemblance to her parents was one of the few things that made her both memorable.
I take a good look at her own self, her own body, which is becoming more and more like her mother’s, through her mirror, even as an adult.
Blue eyes similar to my father’s.
Golden hair resembling her mother and a beautiful appearance.
Her well-proportioned body is attractive even in her own opinion.
However, compared to the mother in her memories, her feminine curves are slightly lacking.
“… A little heart… It seems to have grown…”
I put the towel she used to wipe her hair on behind her neck and looked up at her breasts, which now felt unusually heavy.
She could not hold it all with one hand anymore and seemed to overflow, but her bouncy breasts didn’t lose their shape at all.
Even now, to be honest, it’s so big that it bothers me a little to be active.
If she continued to become like her mother like this, she would still be bigger than this.
‘… No… She heard that when her mother was young, she wasn’t that big yet… She said she grew up after giving birth to me…’
A woman tells her that her breasts tend to enlarge with her pregnancy.
If Emilia stays alone like this, she will still… Still, there is a possibility that she will remain this size.
――Marriage, marriage.
At the peaceful and sweet echo that seemed so far away now, Emilia smiled bitterly as she looked in the mirror.
She was Because now is not the time to think like that.
… By the way, I think it would be nice to have a little more muscle attached.
Because of the 【Brace of the Hero】 and 【Body of the Hero】 attributes that were implanted in her,
It seems that no matter how much he trains and how much he moves, his body will not become like that of a warrior in reverse.
After all, resembling the father in my memory is impossible for the rest of my life.
Still, the fact that she could resemble her mother was a great comfort.
* * *
Rattle! Do,
I open her old wooden door and step inside.
At first glance, it might look like a tavern, but it is the Adventurer Guild that manages adventurers and delivers requests to them.
In fact, since it also serves as a pub, the smell of food and alcohol wafts from here and there.
When I first visited this place, it still felt clean and fresh.
No matter how well managed it is, it has become a dilapidated building in a few years as it is a space used by wild adventurers.
Still, they say that they are building a new building that is larger than the current one, so I am a little excited.
“What is it, Mr. Platinum, are you here?”
“…”
“Platinum” Is Emilia’s title.
Her name and gender are not disclosed, and those who have seen her for a long time simply refer to her as an adventurer.
If you have to explain, copper is the lowest grade, and it goes up one step from there to platinum, the highest grade.
To the words of an adventurer who recognized this side, Emilia replied with a nod of her head as she put on her hood.
Don’t voice Emilia had already thoroughly experienced that she would be looked down upon if discovered that she was a woman.
That’s why her outfit is always a large hood that covers her entire body and a cramped mask on her face.
Adventurers often have circumstances in which they do not wish to be touched,
If she shows a side that she doesn’t want to reveal like this, there is no one who wants to ask her.
Of course, that is limited to those with skills and those with their own connections.
At the age of only 12, with a young appearance that would be looked down upon by anyone, he first entered this adventurer’s guild… When she set foot in her guild, she was really fed up with every fight she had.
“…”
Emilia checked the guild lobby where there were many adventurers through the mask, and she immediately stepped further inside.
No one is stopping
The place Emilia is heading to is a place where only guild masters and adventurers of silver or silver rank are allowed to enter.
A platinum-rated adventurer, she was allowed her free entry.
* * *
“Come with the fruit wine! Fruit wine! Something cold enough to freeze your insides!!”
“… X-foot year…”
A special space for platinum level adventurers.
In the middle of a space prepared for their convenience, including soundproofing devices,
Taking off her cramped mask and her hood, Emilia pounded her metal desk with her boot and hurriedly.
The guild leader opened the freezer with a sigh at the childlike appearance, which was completely different from the reticent appearance that suited platinum-level adventurers a moment ago.
This freezer is a magic tool.
In this empire, where the quality of magic tools has soared in recent decades,
This kind of magic tool that keeps things cool even in the middle of summer is easy to get if you have money.
“A little! I’m the guild master, not your valet!”
“Shut up. Terry, do you know how much you owe me?”
“… Damn it, really.”
At Emilia’s sharp words, the bald man――Terry sighed and poured the cool fruit wine into the glass.
In addition, when you see grapes taken out and served in similarly pretty bowls,
It didn’t seem like he hated serving Emilia either.
Let’s serve grapes with cool condensation and fruit wine with ice,
Emilia smiled brightly and praised Terry, the guild leader.
“The last dragon subjugation, the reward came out, how would you like to receive it?”
“Huh? You can deposit it into your account as usual.”
“Is there no need for monster material or something like that?”
“No, no. Dispose of everything on your own.”
“Swords and armor that are pretty good if they are made of the same material as the flying dragon… Oh yeah. You wouldn’t need it.”
As Emilia tapped the sword in her rugged scabbard she had placed beside her, Terry brushed her own bald head and brushed it over her.
Even though he was bald, he didn’t feel empty because about half of his head was engraved with vicious tattoos.
In addition, Emilia’s sword was the holy sword――the [Brave’s Sword] That was chosen,
Even if it was the skeleton of a dragon, which is said to be the finest material, it would not be possible to make a weapon comparable to that sword.
She thinks that she should have some armor, but Emilia herself doesn’t seem to want to wear heavy armor, so every time she invites her, she is rejected.
Anyway, if you don’t need the material, you can convert that much and give it extra money.
Hand over the two IOUs to Emilia with the money for the subjugation of the flying dragon and the disposal of the monster’s material, respectively.
She glanced at her and slipped one of them into her own pack without checking her properly.
Then, she gave the remaining portion back to Terry.
Those eyes were quite different from those of a child who glistened while drinking fruit wine earlier.
Dealing with rough adventurers, it made me feel creepy even as a trained Terry.
In Emilia’s blue eyes, dark hatred and murderous intent quietly dwelled.
“… This is the funding for this search. Please. You can spend the extra money on your own.”
“Okay, take it.”
“And, explain what has happened so far. I want to know how far it went.”
Even though she was twenty years younger than him,
However, she felt a tingling spirit that seemed to overwhelm her, and her guild leader, Terry, sat down across from Emilia.
From now on, the story to be shared here is a story that can never be told to outsiders.
――For revenge.
――My parents’ enemies, scum that should be killed.
The fire of hatred still lingered inside Emilia.
Receive the [Protection of the Hero], Receive the title of the hero,
She was given the job of a warrior, she was destined to live as a warrior,
Even so, she doesn’t live as a hero… This is why she lives as a rugged adventurer.
Only for revenge.
To avenge the enemy of that day that deserves to be hated.
That’s why I threw away the blessed road as a warrior and all the sweet dreams like marriage.
Even today, she was living her life with her heart burning brightly.
* * *
――The story is over.
According to Terry, it seems that the other party is about to be caught by the tail.
Even so, there was not much useful information other than that the person to be avenged was among the nobles.
‘Nobility… I’m sorry.’
She thought about it vaguely, but, after all, hearing it clearly from the mouth of another person is different from the feeling.
Her own father isn’t a person who deserves resentment from others, but
It seemed that there were also some people who hated the Edenbertz family just because they were a warrior family.
As much as she hides her identity as an adventurer, she has nothing to interact with nobles, so it’s hard to know in detail…
‘I’ll leave the details to Terry.’
‘Because all I can do now is to wait anyway.’
Thinking so, I stride across the lobby of the Adventurer’s Guild.
“Hey, hey!”
“… ?”
Suddenly, rudely,
There was someone grabbing his arm from under her hood without asking for forgiveness.
