Defiled Hero Chapter 011

Defiled Hero

Guild Summons

The result of the negotiation was that the money will be deposited into my guild bank later.

As I was going back, I was told that someone dropped by the guild to search for me.

The guild, is it? ......I have a bad feeling about this. They should have been quiet, who’s the one just mouthing off?

I reached the guild while they were talking, this is definitely going to be troublesome.

Well then, I’ll just go ahead and get out of here.

There’s probably going to be some girl with no common sense blaming and lecturing me.

「You’re the one who has no common sense!」 (Lilia)

「......Eh?」 (Izayoi)

Turning my head, there was an angry, guild-uniform wearing girl with her hands on her hips.

「What is it? Looking at my face as if I were a monster is a bit rude, isn’t it?」 (Lilia)

I hardened my resolve. The receptionist Lilia who suddenly appeared was making her way towards me.

「......Don’t come near me. There’s something scary about you, so don’t come near!」 (Izayoi)

「What is that something supposed to be? There’s nothing scary about how cute I am.」 (Lilia)

「Saying that is scary. I’ll have to deny that a bit.」 (Izayoi)

「What the heck is with the denial? Even though it’s difficult to say......I’m sorry. I’m kinda sorry about being kinda scary!」 (Lilia)

「Then, what is your request?」 (Izayoi)

「You suddenly became normal... The request... My request is, how could you act like that?」 (Lilia)

「How could I act like that? Do you have a problem with how I behaved or something?」 (Izayoi)

「The problem is your very existence! You should know, so stop playing dumb!」 (Lilia)

「I’m always serious.」 (Izayoi)

「Yeah yeah I know. Instead of talking on the side of the street, please follow me.」 (Lilia)

She forcefully embraced me, gripped onto my arm, and started dragging me along against my will.

Bringing me along, she tightly held on to me in front of the carriages.

「Oi, wasn’t this going to be just a short talk?」 (Izayoi)

「From here on, I’m taking you to the Broken guild’s 1st division.」 (Lilia)

「Taking me you say, what if I refuse?」 (Izayoi)

「You have no right to refuse.」 (Lilia)

The heck is this girl saying?

Standing in front of the carriages, as I was returning home, the receptionist Lilia once again strongly grabbed my arm, corrected her posture and said with upturned eyes, 「I won’t separate from you. You also won’t separate from me.」

「......You’re misunderstanding something.」 (Izayoi)

「I’m not. You’re a criminal and not a good person.」 (Lilia)

「No, that’s not what I’m saying.」 (Izayoi)

「......What do you mean? If you’re not going to deny it, please come with me to the guild.」 (Lilia)

The receptionist Lilia gave a blank look as she did not understand.

She doesn’t understand that I’m a dangerous person, and even then she alone plans to stick to me, someone who can fight. Due to what happened previously in Arona, Lilia is having a serious misunderstanding.

「In that manner, why do you think you have to take me along?」 (Izayoi)

「You’re sarcastic and are hard to agree with, but you’re not a criminal. Even though someone else could have brought you along, you would escape, wouldn’t you? Because of that, I made my way all the way here!」 (Lilia)

Although Lilia said that with pride, it was a complete misunderstanding.

「Hey, Lilia.」 (Izayoi)

「Saying my name suddenly, what is it you want?」 (Lilia)

Seems like she can’t stomach me calling her name, she’s glaring at me as if I were disgusting. Since she was holding my arm, our faces were close. I could smell a slightly sweet smell, but without minding it I looked at her in the eye.

「――You don’t think I’m a man who is violent towards women?」 (Izayoi)

The receptionist Lilia’s face turned ashen, and from her forehead drops of sweat began forming.

This girl, catching me by herself, refusing to let me object, was she under the impression that she was in no danger?

Now then, what is my companion going to do about this? The trembling receptionist Lilia somehow prepared herself, and with a serious face took a deep breath and looked at me.

「......I believe in you.」 (Lilia)

The carriage swayed for a few hours. We had arrived in Broken, the second largest town in the continent.

Inside the carriage, the receptionist Lilia had repeatedly sent me glances filled with fear.

She had a reason to obediently take me along.

The town of Broken was located between the capital and Reyl Lake. It didn’t feel like much more than riding a taxi to me. If any problems arose, they were taken care of by the guild, through the use of force. I thought to myself that I would at least hear what they had to say as I was being brought along.

「W-well then, let’s go......」 (Lilia)
