Chapter 4 (1/2)

Swamp 4

“…as I thought, it was no good…”

Unable to hide ot depressed
I was at the place where the swamp…used to be, in the inner parts of the forest Currently, it’s a large hole

I had held on to ht, the swaht revive Hence, I came to check up on it but the world wasn’t that nice The hole ide open like there was never a swain with
Whilea sense of loss like a hole had opened up on it, I felt the sudden presence of a person sneak up fro around, I saw that it was Hero Rufus from yesterday

Wh-why?

While I was freaking out, the Hero approached me and made a relieved face

“Thank goodness, we ain”

“Huh…? Haah…?”

Opposite the Hero that was getting closer step-by-step, I retreated back away from him

“Afterwards, you ran away so…”

Hahahaha

Now that I think about it, yesterday, I ran away as soon as I finished one-sidedly verbally abusing him Not to mention, the last line I said was “Your ”…what a childish exit line

“I should’ve immediately chased after you but…due to the impact…”

Then, beforeand looked up at ot the feeling that his eyes were sparkling with the joy of living, the completely opposite of this dark forest

“You said it yesterday, didn’t you? ‘Secure and assure my future lifestyle froht over about it”

Please forget that! That wasa SS-rank hero like yourself should seriously think over about! Forget it immediately and hurry on over to the next town please!

“I’ll take responsibility and assure your future lifestyle I promise you a life with no inconveniences That’s why…”

I stood there, bewildered, as he took rasped onto my hand, he:

“From now on, please scold…no, I mean, torture my incompetent self!”

Wha!?

…What the heckーーー!?

Even if you say that with such sparkly eyes and feverish tone, it’s still scary! I can’t comprehend—!

“…Gross!”
