Chapter 156 What did I even do? (5) (1/2)
< Running Away from the Hero! 156 18 What did I even do? (5)>
All the carefully laid plans had a tendency of going astray at some point
For instance, plans , of the year usually falls by the wayside eventually, don’t they?
You’d cook up a plan for the entire year, then buy one of those diaries that cost an ar is written inside On top of that, you’d also buy the planner just in case
While feeling chuffed about yourself, you’d start writing your resolutions for the co year in those diaries and planners, then tell yourself that you’d definitely succeed this time
As for the resolution itself, its contents would largely be similar person-to-person
This year, I will study so-or-rather This year, I will start that diet This year, I will get a qualification for this-and-that This year, I will read X number of books in a month!
You tell yourself that, make all sorts of plans, then do your best to carry them out
…Only up to the first quarter of the year, that is
By the time the heat of Summer arrives, the diary with only the first portion filled out would sit there covered in dust, its pages forever destined to be left blank And this diary with only the events of January and February written on its pages would get discarded coo out to buy its replacement
This cycle would continue to repeat itself forever
However, this act wasn’t coless Well, at the very least, the eet their monthly salaries, so there’s that
Besides,to the resolution was because ofover ti with h… What’s happening right noasn’t because ofin to ruinmy plans was totally irreversible, too
“Sir Hero…!”
“It, it’s Sir Hero!”
“It’s the Hero of Light, Sir Swinn!”
Aup to us
Kkyah~, just how did they recognise this idiot’s face from so far away?
Man, your visionAre you all perhaps the descendants of the Mongols?
What a scary village this was, one that ht conquer the entire world soht your disciple was the Hero froht now?
-How should I know?
The hero later told ave him that title because of his blonde locks and his penchant for using a golden-hued sword aura
Hearing that explanation only made me more curious about why he wasn’t called the Hero of Gold instead, though However, I decided to not bother asking since even the hero hiht be, I still got the feeling that his ‘title’ would be rather helpful towardsinformation in e and kidnapped some of our womenfolk, sir!”
“Not only that, but orcs also raided us and robbed us of our food supply!”
“And on top of that, our evil feudal lord forcibly confiscated thetax…”
“And even goblins…”
Villagers clung to the hero and began to whine about their plight
dale story they told him sounded pretty serious As if they all received correction from the Hero Effect (passive)
-Master, this world is so scary…
-My senti a bandit in this world was a very challenging life choice toaround in theof bandits usually formed when people, who couldn’t stand the tyrannical ways of their evil lords, chose to flee and gather as a group Soular folks
It was safe to assus didn’t have anyone with professionalunder their belt Which meant their coular citizens
So, to say that such a gang of bandits could survive in the wild mountainside populated by monsters?
Now that would be a tall order, indeed
Of course, it wason it But that would, in turn, iion was rather excellent A safe place, in other words
When ive the soldiers any practical coet shi+fting over to bandits, instead
It wasn’t for nothing that there was an old saying of, “Being a bandit is tougher than being a mercenary” in this world
But to e Not only that, orcs, an evil feudal lord, and as an additional bonus, even goblins, too!
Such a coifts would be rather difficult to see in one’s lifetime!
And the da like that happens often in life, after all I shall take care of thele eyelid!
-Master, he even said these things happen often, too
-I always figured it’s only s that have lost their damn minds, but as it turns out, my life so far has been a blessed one
-Master, could it be that the village we lived in happens to be the safest one in the entire world?
-That’s a good possibility, actually
The odds of running into such a coift set would surely be lower than the foruise of a kindly grandpa
I couldn’t see any tall, ies anywhere nearby But to think that orcs and bandits were co-existing side by side in a land of flat hills like this!
The eet here as soon as possible, wanting to research and publish their findings right away!
“Well, instructor You will coo there with Alice?”
“I believe it will be safer for her by accoe to explore the village, so htsee and wait for the hero party’s return But it seeether with his party
“Is this because you’re worried aboutto probe hi asked like that, you’d answer no, but…
“Yes, instructor”
That should’ve been common sense, but my conversation opponent happened to be htforward reply that is, Sir Hero”
“It’s all thanks to your teachings, instructor”
The sight of hi away came across as rather confident and bold
“You want to take such a frail child to a dangerous place like that?!”
“Instructor, there’s no place in this world that’s safer than by your side”
This kid… Just because he’s gotten a bit older, he doesn’t want to give an inch, huh?
“And the safest option for us is to have Alice and I ree”
“Which also happens to be the easiest way for you to escape from us, too”
“Hah-ah… Very well If we acco will be sorted, yes? However, do you distrust me that badly?”
“Yessir”
That unhesitant answer madethe hero up in this place would only er
As such, I needed to hold it in
-As soon as we put soe, beat his ass up
-Aaahaaang, master you the best~
Thefrorasia
My daughter stayed vigilant to protect the cat and Kkokko, so even if the metal bat wanted to beat those two up a bit, it didn’t enjoy hter was the typical cold-hearted rural girl arers!
And that hy the hero was fated to becoe behind us
Co for hiain
