Chapter 152 What did I even do? (1) (1/2)

< Running Away from the Hero! 152 18 What did I even do? (1)>

“Why don’t we take a break here?”

We’ve been running for one full day

Although we still hadn’t crossed the border yet, no human should be able to catch up with our speed!

Even if ere talking about THE hero here, there’s no freaking way he could catch up when he also needed to worry about his two companions!

“Alice, we’re al carriages, and I even laid some straw on the floor to make the journey a bit more bearable Even so, there was not e itself

My daughter’s buht as well take a short break here!

“Ah, we’ve already arrived, instructor?”

…That’s the reason why I stopped the carriage, but the person juhter

-Why is the hero co out from there, s worse, the hero s a prie, then followed by the priest cli!

-I, I actually worked for free as the hero party’s coach driver?!

-You know, I heard a ton of stories about the hero party, but it’s the first I hear about a coach driver being counted as a member, master~!

That’s not it, you silly lu, what kind of a party was the hero party?

To put it sierous party that auto past them

To all the attention whores out there, such a party would prove to be very useful However, I had no desire whatsoever to join a party that every annoying To to be saved

I was getting ever so closer to half a century in age, so no freaking way I’d volunteer to slave away every day fighting monster threats

If the threat was around the level of orcs, fine But things like ogres? No swords would penetrate their hides, you know?

And it was the hero’s destiny to fight the final boss in the for

To a co a one-way ticket to the netherworld

I mean, my current life’s parents alsonear a bloody hero, didn’t they!

-I get it,the outta here?

Now that suggestion was teht However, I had to question whether or not that punk would even obediently get smacked around by the metal bat

Unlike the self-proclaiious orders were the real deal My uncertainty stemmed from the fact that most of these ‘real’ heroes received a bucket load of God’s blessings to display a gobsrowth

They would either be a sword one or two other side professions to boot, too

That punk already displayed signs of incredible talent during his days in the evil organisation, so to receive the divine blessing on top, too? Yup, he’s definitely the worst calainable for all the villains out there

-But master, you’re the worst calamity to that worst calamity, aren’t you?

-That was intentional, you know

Fro beaten up by the bat And that instilled the fear of the metal bat deep down into their souls

It was all thanks to that experience that the hero punk was stealing glances at the ht now

As an added bonus, the priest staring atthe exact same face as the hero was in the same boat, too

Just like that, a weird little bout of silence drifted along between the hero party andthis uncoe and juirl Was it okay for you in there?”

“Yup, I was sleeping all this time, you see!”

“Ah, so that’s what happened”

When I patted her head, she began s innocently away

“…What’s up with your expression, though?”

However, the brave hero stared at our heartwarirl who cried out, ‘If the Soul Ge anyway!’ before starting the ‘tea that expression of no hopes and drea” The hero replied while sneakily avoiding reat ocean and let it slide

“Alright It seee, so…”

I lightly picked up ht back up to the carriage and placed her inside

“Ng? Dad, we just got off the carriage so why are you putting me back inside?”

“Well, there’s a place we need to stop by for a ht kick around a bit while we’re on the irl and hold onto the corner over there, okay?”

“Okay!”

After hter went over to the corner of the carriage with a cat and a dragon in tow, I oh-so naturally settled down on the carriage driver’s seat

While the hero party members stared at us in stupefaction, I whipped the horses into action and left the trio behind

“…Uh? Eeeeh?!”

“W-waaait!”

“I-instructor?!”

Hey, who’re you calling your dang instructor?!

Well, sure It’s slightly true that Sir Chosen Hero did spend soanisation, but still!

As such, let’s pretend that we’re all strangers, alright?!

“Giddy-up!”

The horses, surprised by the whipping, broke into an explosive sprint

…Actually, it did start running, but the carriage wasn’ttoon here?”

“H-hey, Hill! Hurry up and get on!”

“Crazy son of a…?!”

The da it froe is being pulled by two horses, you knoo horses, for crying out loud! So how can a single guy keeping it dead still o and s next tos pretty dicey, but if we don’t attack him now, then huh, a journey of fools accompanied by the hero would be in store for us

No need to ponder et hihtly leapt off the carriage and waddled cutely up to the hero

“Keu-euhk… Eh? Who are you…?”

“Aru pu~nch ★!”

“Kuwaaaaahk!”

The wretched screah dangerous, I still leaned to the side and peeked behind thearound on the dirt

-I’e, master!

-Nice work!

It seee in the nick of tiot, I’ll give you tasty carrots later!”

Sure, the carrots I’anic carrots hter and I cultivated with our hearts and soul However, the carrots froood, I’ll have you know!

Maybe the horses heard hed and continued to rush ahead Or it could also bethe after us?

-What? What is?

-The elf!

“Hey, yooou! Stop right there!”

“What the fu…?!”

I could see the elf running right next to the carriage now

The way turquoise-hued soure did look kind of ie, but they were still running at full tilt Yet this elf woht up to us in the proverbial blink of an eye?

As expected of the hero’s party, then This absurd ability befitting the member of the th, sir!”

“I only wish to lead a relaxing life, miss”

I whipped the horses twoany further

Meaning, ere already dashi+ng forward at the top speed
