Is this Hero for Real? chapter 8

Chapter 8

There is one point that should not be overlooked here.

The point is that I couldn't understand the language of the fairies and mercenaries, who were 'hostile races' to me.

In other words, the condition of the curse is the average of the whole race, not the individual!

Therefore, just because the opponent is a hostile race, there is no guarantee that it is unconditionally hostile to 'me'.

After all, this is a human village.

When an accident occurs, the person who cannot communicate is at an overwhelming disadvantage.

Shouldn't we throw away our hasty prejudices now and take care of ourselves?

s.

So I hid the blue cutter under the pillow on the bed. so that it can be used at any time.

"A certain god is watching closely"

click.

I unlocked the lock on the inn room and opened the door.

"Come on in."

"Excuse me for a moment."

The customer was a man in his mid-30s with gray hair looking good.

Outwardly, an ordinary human. He would never have noticed that he was not human had it not been for the curse.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't be vigilant. As the mayor of this village, I came to check in after receiving a report that a traveler who did not speak the language had arrived."

"That's right."

I was a little apprehensive about running a human village while pretending to be a human, but I moved on because of the lack of information.

The Fantasia dimension could be the original world, right?

Perhaps an angelic race that worships an evil goddess rules the foolish humans on earth...

"Are you strong? That's an odd name."

"What..."

He considered making a pseudonym suitable for the savage fantasy world, but he didn't want to hide the name his parents had given him.

More than that, it was very inconvenient because my personal information, which I had not been taught, was exposed to strangers.

Can I see my status window?

"It is of no use to someone with the protection of observation like me, but if possible, hide the status window."

Is it real!

"How do you hide it?"

"… You really don't know anything."

"Yeah."

I'm sorry I'm a newbie on the 2nd day of the savage fantasy world.

"Hmm. I thought a stupid fairy who didn't know the world was hiding because I couldn't understand the language, but was it simply a villager from a distant land..."

"You seem to be disappointed."

"Did you get tea?"

"a little..."

not a little It's written on his face saying he's annoyed for walking in vain.

"The gnolls that have lost their habitat due to the greed of the fairies have flowed into human habitation. At that time, people who lost their families came together to get revenge, and this is the village that was formed."

"So there were a lot of mercenaries."

"It is quite old. There were only a few people left, including myself, who remembered the grudges of that time. Now, most of the young chick mercenaries come from the city to build their careers."

"Hey"

It's definitely good that you can speak the language!

I am not interested in the background of the town's birth, but I am moved to be able to have a human-like conversation.

I wish I could teach you how to hide the status window as well...

"A certain god is looking at me very frustrated"

Well? why?

I wanted to ask the reason, but I couldn't because the mayor was in front of me.

He said, stroking his chin with his right hand.

"Can I ask you one last question before we leave?"

"Yeah."

Anything but politics and religion!

He asked, taking an empty glass bottle from his pocket.

"What's the reason you're still okay even after taking my anesthetic?"

"...Yes?"

For a moment, I didn't understand what he was saying, but my body was the first to react to the Gnoll's attack.

swish!

He aimed at the head of the village with a blue cutter hidden under the pillow.

But,

"It's good."

drip

Just before the blade cut through his throat, something transparent caught his body and he couldn't move.

"What…?"

Unable to achieve my goal due to a short delay, I rolled my eyes and glared at the mayor.

The village chief looked around me like that and said as if teasing me.

"Abominable fairies have high tolerance by nature, so they don't take drugs well. That's the magic I devised."

«off p, o • • • •

"Give up. I have tied my body with an invisible magic rope. As long as you have high tolerance like a fairy, you can never solve it."

"why?"

I have no idea why I was attacked by the village chief. You don't think I offended him?

"There is nothing wrong with you. It was purely bad luck."

"It's simple. It would be quicker to show it directly than to say it."

[Name] Crimson

[Level] 16

[Blessing] Madness E

[The mouse fairy C

There was a curse like me in the village chief's status window.

"Is it Goddess's work?"

"I couldn't understand why you were still talking nonsense. This curse is the result of the accusations of the elves who were murdered against me. It's like an honorable scar!"

"AHA!"

Curses were not only given to evil goddesses.

Would you say it's conditional?

[fairy!

＞Your lifespan and youth, who have been pointed out as enemies of the fairy, will decrease!

> All damage and bad reputation from fairies is greatly increased.

I thought it was a terrible curse because of the shortening of lifespan and youth, but looking at the appearance of the village chief, it seems that is not the case.

"People were outraged at the gnolls who harmed their families and took their homeland. but i thought Those gnolls grow up to be the same victims. The fairy, who instigated a strife by taking the habitat of the gnolls, is our real enemy...!"

"But I am not the elf the village chief hates. I don't think it's something we're talking about attacking people."

I got caught up in the resentment of others and ended up being killed.

...are you really going to die?

I pretended to be calm, but my situation in which I couldn't lift a finger was clearly a crisis.

If the mayor's heart deteriorates, he will die at any time without moving.

My heart was pounding.

"Actually, I didn't mean to say this much. But after seeing your dagger, I changed my mind. Where did you get this?"

He pointed to the blue cutter and asked a question.

this?

"I killed and stole the fairy who shot me with a bow."

There is such a thing as a glance.

The 'Blue Moon Meat Cutter' is a loot obtained by killing gnolls, but in order to live here, I also have to pretend to be an enemy of the fairy.

"With that skill, Yongke also killed the fairy royal family."

"Were you royalty…?"

I always thought it was a really good dagger with a sharp edge, but I didn't know it was a fairy royal item.

"haha! That's awesome! You didn't even know you were royalty! It's getting harder and harder to kill you."

"Then save me!"

"I'm sorry. As you can see by looking at the status window, I am a wizard without magical protection. no way? Do you not even know what that means?"

"Because it's a shame."

There is no one (+God) around to teach me kindly.

" Oh yea?"

"It means a lone wolf that gallops through the wilderness."

"What a wonderful word. You will never run through the wilderness forever."

『A certain god blesses Asa』

fit it.

The village chief took the blue cutter out of my hand and said,

«I am a warlock. You must become a sacrifice to the black magic that will extend my lifespan."

Athena Archmaging Princess.

Called a 'magic genius' in the Archmaging Magic Kingdom, she has admired 'those who work hard'.

This is because her status as a princess who has to care about her face and appearance robs her of time to study, and her great talent makes her effort unnecessary.

You call it a full-fledged fight?

right. she knows But it's not wrong for her to yearn for something impossible for her.

Is that so?

"Princess. You said that magic is realized only by imagination. Are there any conditions or formulas that increase efficiency?"

Even though it was explained that magic is determined by blood and academic ties, Yu Bo, a hard-working hero.

Princess Ethena liked this 'first disciple'. So although he was the first disciple to receive.

Hwareuk!

A lively flame rose on the palm of the warrior Yu Bora.

talent and effort.

It was a beautiful magic created by combining the two.

"That's a good question, Hero Yu Bora. If you want to strengthen your magic, you just have to follow the magic of your teacher or parents who gave you protection."

"Isn't there anything other than that?"

"Of course there is."

Damn-!

Princess Athena created a block of cold ice on the palm of her hand as opposed to a roaring flame.

Cute rabbit shape!

It fit perfectly with the producer.

She said proudly showing off her magic.

"Fire magic, called the flower of war, is a specialty that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Archmazing royal family. It's thanks to the blessings of inheriting some of the talents of our predecessors. On the other hand, this ice rabbit is my own unique magic! Would you like to imitate one more time?"

"Um… I can't."

Nothing was created on Yu Bora's palm.

Princess Athena confessed, blushing shyly.

"Master, I am still immature. As my proficiency increases, my disciple, Bora Yu, will be able to make it easily. did you understand?"

"Yeah. Thanks for the kind explanation."

"You're welcome."

At that time, there was a voice that broke the warm atmosphere of the priest.

"Princess. What about a helpless person like me?"

Jang Mi-yeon, a hero who chose a wizard instead of a knight who was supposed to be in pain.

However, she was not able to use magic because she was not a disciple of Princess Ethena, and she was full of complaints.

It's not just her.

"I really need your help!"

"Princess! I want to use magic!"

"Give me magical protection...!"

Bora Yoo The other warriors, who did not like the way of private tutoring, also helped out one word at a time.

And it got stronger.

"This is unfair!"

"Preference is bad!"

"I demand equal treatment!"

"Very uncomfortable!"

The dragons started to run rampant while chatting at their own pace.

Odd dog, oh dog.

Princess Ethena asked with an innocent face while biting the ice rabbit she had made.

"Then, who will be my second disciple?"

"Me! Me!"

"Of course it is me!"

"Don't cut it!"

"I am first!"

The warriors who united and pleaded with Princess Ethena.

But at her words, the alliance was broken like a sandcastle, and they were busy biting each other.

Second, third, fourth...

No one was willing to make concessions, because the further the disciple's order was delayed, the less talented he was.

"I'm better than you…!"

"I can't even study…!"

"Who's going to say...!"

It's a pathetic act that doesn't seem like a hero to save the world.

But Princess Ethena didn't seem to want to stop her.

"Let me know when you decide!"

"… Princess Athena. Did you do that on purpose?"

"Yeah? What do you mean by that?" At Yoo Bo-ra's question, the princess cutely tilted her head and asked.

"… it's nothing."

"Yeah! Then should I finish my class... Oh! How far have I been talking?"

"Ice rabbit."

"Ah! thank you! Inherent magic can only be learned through a lot of trial and error and constant practice."

"Like black magic?"

"Princess?"

Princess Ethena, stiff for a moment, answered with a relaxed expression.

"Black magic is different from white magic. It's impossible to practice consistently on your own."

"Why?"

"Every time you use magic, you need a scapegoat."

The law of equivalent exchange. It is an economic theory that commodities of equal value can be exchanged.

But why is this applied to the magic of the fantasy world?

Anyway, that damn rule put me in a crisis.

"I untied the magic rope a little. I can speak now."

"… The basement is really cool!"

"Thank you."

The village chief, who introduced himself as a warlock, picked me up and brought me to his house under the pretext of healing the 'traveler who was lying in the inn room'.

Isn't it the same as the innkeeper who fell for such clumsy lies?

I'm going to think about this issue if I don't die...

"The village chief. Do I suffer and die like these people?"

There were many passengers in the basement.

□, huh..."

"ね! 👅…"

Whoa...!"

Hanging in the air like butcher's meat, their bodies were full of bruises, burns, and whip marks.

And without exception, both ears were cut off.

"… You are tougher than you seem. Usually, I am busy begging for help and sacrificing quality."

"Iknow, right."

[Oh yea]

Without this blessing, I would not have joined the ranks of that 'normal'.

what is my condition?

It's like watching a horror movie you've gotten tired of watching three times. Even if it's not someone else's business.

"Don't worry. I do not force my hobbies on non-fair travelers."

"It's unfortunate that I'm lucky."

The kidnapped humans are immediately killed, and the fairies seem to kill them after tormenting them for a long time.

The village chief said sarcastically.

"You who murdered the royal family will be released without any special pain."

"Five! I hate being sick, but I'm really grateful."

"Hahaha! What a fun friend! It's a pity that we can't be together."

"I'm sorry too."

The village chief is a sheep that I really like. Still, I don't think I'm going to save my life.

Now maybe good?

"A certain god packs the burden"

『A certain god blesses Asa』

"…you are too much."

He was abandoned like a devoted partner by a god with a bad personality, but it's not the worst.

Because my snout is still lively!

Let's put down the cowardly Gaho for a while and go forth honestly.

"The village chief."

"What? If you're going to beg for life, give up."

"Please. It's different."

I opened a conversation with a smile of a good earthling.
