Chapter 161 - Hero's Descendant (4)
“Nyaa, nyaa nyaa, nyaa-ah.”
In the end, Roa had eaten two Evil Hearts, so she felt as if she was on top of the world.Her three tails continued to sway as she continued to hang around Artpe.She was studying Artpe’s body.She was trying to determine where she could perch on top of Artpe’s body.She was trying to find a spot that was pleasing to her.
She could circle him for the rest of her life!She wouldn’t be able to find a place where she could sit.
“What is this magical beast supposed to be?”
Promes sounded as if he had aged 30 years.He asked Artpe a question.Artpe smirked as he answered Promes’ question.
“She has the ability to eat and convert Demonic energy into her own internal energy.She is a Greed Beast, and she is contracted to me as a familiar.That is why you don’t have to worry about her.”
“The Evil Heart has tormented our family for couple hundred years, yet you simply…..”
It hadn’t been simple.Roa had eaten Demonic energy in a progressive manner to grow this much.She also had the holy priestess and Artpe by her side.Both of them had the ability to suppress Demonic energy.If they hadn’t been there, it was up in the air as to whether Roa would have been able to successfully absorb the Evil Heart.
Still, it was also true that his method had been much simpler compared to guarding the Evil Heart for several hundred years. Artpe shrugged his shoulders.
“Anyways, I want to congratulate you all for being freed from this place.You guys did a great job.”
“It makes no sense!”
“Anyone that becomes involved with Artpe has that exact thought!”
“That isn’t a compliment, so don’t say those words with a smile on your face.”
Everyone was in a state of panic.The only easygoing ones were Artpe and Roa.
“Anyways, our business with the temple is done now.Vadinet, how did the stew turn out?”
“It is boiling right now.Everyone can go out and enjoy it.…...also Roa, you need to wear a more respectable clothing.Please follow after me.Quickly.”
“Nyaa!? I want to eat the stew too!Nyaa-ah-ah!”
How respectable of a clothing was she going to give Roa?Artpe was a bit curious, but he decided not to interfere.He was already too busy worrying about the remaining people.
“My god.The task assigned to our family······.”
“Everything was solved so suddenly.Ooh-mmm.Didn’t I want this to happen….Ooooh-mmm, oooooooh-mmm!”
“Some problem will arise!Something dangerous will occur!”
The two men had completely accepted the current situation, but the old lady was too shocked.She was starting to deny reality.Of course, Artpe understood why she was acting that way.
“Did she finally go senile? I guess it is possible.”
“Kyahhhhhhk!”
Artpe made fun of the old lady as he eyed the two men.
“Don’t be so absent minded right now.You have to think about what you’ll have to do from now on.You no longer have to reside in this temple.Come out, and let’s go enjoy the stew.”
“Artpe, you….It is as if you’ve become another person.”
Promes had spoken those words.
A guilty conscience needs no accuser.Artpe felt guilty, but he schooled his expression.Promes continued to speak as Artpe moved in front of him.
“In the past, you couldn’t be bothered to do anything.Now you are actively leading from the front.Moreover, you are using unconventional methods that can’t be imagined up by anyone else…Did you change, because you became a hero?”
“It isn’t like that.”
Even now he didn’t want to be bothered.He was lazy.However, he had to go through all these troublesome tasks right now, so he could enjoy a lazy life as a dairy farmer in the future. He was acutely aware of this fact.He just had to take care of the Demon King and the Demon realm.He won’t have to lead any more after that.He’ll live a simple life with the simpehearted cows!
“Hoo.Anyways….Let’s head out.Artpe is right.The temple no longer has the Evil Heart.The heroes have arrived, and they solved the problem like heroes.It isn’t as if this is the only task we can do.”
“A problem will occur!There is no way the Evil Heart can be disposed so easily!It is an evil item that hadn’t weakened after several hundred years!It’ll continue to exist for couple hundred years!That girl messed it all up!I’m sure she messed it all up with the hero!”
“Fred, please knock out this ajumma.”
“Ok.”
The two middle aged men carried the old lady as they left the temple.Artpe smirked as he led the rest of his party out of the temple.Maetel still looked miffed, but she linked arms with him.She followed after him.
Vadinet had stepped away in the middle of cooking the stew, yet the stew turned out to be more delicious than the stew from yesterday night.For the past dozens of years, those that resided within the temple had to eat dry food and ingredients from the Demonic beasts of the desert.The stew was sweet as heaven to the guardians of the temple.
“In truth, we moved the temple, because we smelled this food.”
“I knew it.”
“Dad, are you able to move the temple to anywhere you want?”
“No, the temple is an item that uses the Demonic energy of the Evil Heart as a power source.Since there is no Evil Heart, the temple is useless. ······yes, we’ll have to destroy it when we leave.”
As if he had come to his senses after eating the warm stew, Promes finally acknowledged the reality of his current situation.Fred was by his side.He let out a bitter laughter as he agreed with Promes’ words.
“Let’s destroy it.Then we can leave this infernal Demon realm.Ah, my bad.You guys are going to stay behind in the Demon realm, so I shouldn’t be saying such words.”
“No.Each person has to go where we are suited for.”
“Even if we leave the Demon realm, we won’t forget our duty.Did you say that a continental alliance had formed?I’ll add my power to that cause.”
“It has been a while since we’ve fought.”
“That’s true...On that note, please give me another bowl of stew.”
“On that note?What do you mean by that?I want one more bowl too.”
While the two ahjussi devoured their stew, Vadinet brought back Roa. Roa looked extremely unsatisfied.She had been forced to wear clothes, and she was pulling at it.
“Nyaa-ah······.”
“I never expected you to put the cloth of a priestess on her.”
The attire of a priestess was known to be the most conservative and virtuous clothing one could wear.Roa had appeared wearing it. However, there was a problem.Maybe, it was because she had eaten too well during her development.Even the baggy clothes of the priestess couldn’t hide Roa’s glamorous figure.
“This is restricting, nyaa-ah.”
“If you plan on staying in your humanoid form, you have to get familiar with the customs and etiquettes of humans.A woman should not show that much skin to a man that isn’t one’s intended husband.”
It was very surprising!Her words were very old-fashioned!Vadinet had been so open in front of Artpe, because she considered him to be her intended husband!
“Master is my master, nyaa?”
