Defiled Hero Chapter 035

Defiled Hero

A Day With Lilia

It's been two days since we became friends with the water dragon.

I've become completely accustomed to my comfortable daily life. If there was something I wasn’t happy with, it would be that the other people living here are noisy.

However, it wasn't very noisy this morning.

If I had to say why, it would be because I'm the only one in the house right now. To be more precise, I'm the only one in this room in the house.

The others are in the area outside in the front.

「...*Fununu*」 (Tear)

「*Kukeke~~*」 (Rigolo)

「*Ngu~~*」 (Uri)

「*Ngungu*」 (Reri)

「*Hawawa,* That's not it! It needs to feel more, more like *furyarya*!」 (Fiere)

「Hey, are you doing it again today?」 (Izayoi)

Opening the window, I spoke to the four outside.

With eyes closed and bodies shaking, Tear, Uri, Reri, and Rigolo held their tightly clenched fists in front of them. They were lined up, following the lead of Fiere.

「*Hawawa,* Oniichan! We're working on body strengthening, no b.u.t.ting in!」 (Fiere)

「Even if you train, I don't think you'll suddenly be able to do it.」 (Izayoi)

Looking at her face dyed red as she trembled, it seemed as if she was trying to endure something.

Has my thought process changed since I've been defiled?

「...We need, power. Try hard every day, become like Ichayoi.」 (Tear)

「What the heck are you aiming for, Tear?」 (Izayoi)

「...Hero, sama.」 (Tear)

「Then don't try to become like me. It's not wrong to say that I have the ability to fight... but I'm different. I am, I have practically stopped being human. You can’t compare me to normal people.」 (Izayoi)

When I was summoned, I was but a normal boy, and was changed by the holy sword. My ability was different from the average person's to begin with.

「If you're trying to get on my level, it's impossible.」 (Izayoi)

「...But, have not seen, Hero-sama.」 (Tear)

「In other words, because you've not seen the hero fight, you don't know what it looks like when someone strong fights. So now you're imitating me because I'm close by.」 (Izayoi)

「...Yes.」 (Tear)

No matter how hard you try, there will be a place you cannot reach. Tear does not yet understand that.

Tear doesn't understand her own strength very well either. And above all else, she doesn't have enough experience. There is too much in this world she isn’t aware of.

There's no helping it, but can anything be done about it? It would be good if she aimed at a target that wasn't so far out of reach. Speaking of which, I don't know anyone like that. Even though I say that, each of them has some kind of superhuman ability.

Uri and Reri nearby are good at making strategies for a.s.sa.s.sination and concealment magic.

However that doesn't fit her style.

If so, then is the most suitable one the guildmaster?

「Don’t use how I fought monsters as a reference. You just have to remember what I told you.」 (Izayoi)

「...But, Ichayoi no work, resting.」 (Tear)

「...I know. So do what you want. Don't push yourself too much.」 (Izayoi)

「...Yeah.」 (Tear)

If you want to do something, then it’s okay to.

As Tear said, today is a rest day. There's nothing in particular to do.

Now, what should I do.
