The Hero Disciple Is Back

EP.47 – 46. Master thinks, “I’m living in seclusion, right? But why don’t I have quiet days?”

container! container! container! container! container!

Eggs that are incomparably bigger than eggs laid by chickens jump around… . Al running around… . It’s really strange even when I think about it, but it was an expression I came up with after seeing a very accurate reality with my own two eyes. But I’m not saying that eggs have legs and just run around on two legs… . Even if you don’t know what you’re doing inside the egg, the whole egg jumps high into the sky, lands on it, and jumps again to succeed in leaping plumply.

It’s what I said, but it made me doubt what I was talking about and whether I was mentally okay… . It was a reality that could never be denied. Terrified that something might become a serious problem, I hugged him and tried to stop him… .

In the end, I was able to confirm with certainty that there could be no guardian who could defeat a child. Of course. A guardian who overcomes a child cannot be called a guardian. To that extent, the word ‘protection’ contains the meaning that there is no choice but to lose. But even when a child does something wrong, it would be wrong to just ignore it or ask if he or she is coming or not… . After all, being a guardian is a very difficult job.

“Are you really okay?”

container! container! Roll!

“… yes.”

He said that it was okay to go away, but it was inevitable that there would be nothing to say on this side. I just have to swallow and be patient like so many guardians do… .

“Are you glad it snowed?”

It’s on the snow, so I’m less worried… . No, it’s rather slippery and can seriously hurt, so should I be more concerned?

‘But that egg shell was very hard.’

It seemed to be harder than steel, to say it was like a dragon egg. But just because an egg is hard doesn’t mean you can’t be sure that the child inside the egg won’t have any problems either? So I had no choice but to be careful and careful again. But if it’s even possible to run around like that… . Maybe there’s really no need to worry? The fact that the shell of that egg is as hard as steel means, of course, that the egg has a lot of weight, and even though it has that weight, it is so incredibly strong that it can jump around like that even if you don’t know what to do inside the egg. That would be nothing but sound.

But what on earth is it possible to run around like that in an egg? If I could use magic, I wanted to check it by using clairvoyance magic, but unfortunately I couldn’t use magic.

Tung! Tung! Tung!

“Why? Did you find anything?”

… huh?

… … .

… Hmm.

“Are you still looking empty?”

Could it be that the truth is that he never woke up from his dream? So, the fact that the dragon Alea is running around is actually just something I saw in my dream. Maybe it’s not actually real? yes… . In many ways, is that more realistic?

Tung! Tung! Tung!

But to me, Dragon Alea said, ‘Come to your senses! This is the reality!”, and made them recognize the reality by jumping hard.

“… Right. Is it real?”

But I don’t understand how to call it reality.

If it’s real… .

Why is there a girl in a nun’s uniform buried in the snow in front of my shelter?

“Ugh. Yum Yum. Coul.”

He’s sleeping well too… .

Fortunately, there was no reason to doubt the possibility that it was a corpse thanks to the sound it made as it moved well. The fact that there is a sleeping girl in front of me, not a corpse girl… . After all, it was clear that the latter would be better for children’s emotional education than the former… . Before that, why the hell is a girl in a white nun’s uniform lying on the white snowy field in a place where no one should set foot like this, why is she sleeping soundly despite being covered in snow?

Tung! Tung! Tung!

First of all, what should I do with my child who is jumping up and down on top of a sleeping nun girl as if she had discovered a new playground? Jumping on top of people was something that had to be prevented for the sake of a child’s emotional education, but later on, when he became a big dragon, it really couldn’t be done.

It was then.

“Mmm.”

“Are you awake?”

“… uh… .”

“Why are you here? How did you get in before that?”

I understand how this girl fell asleep in front of my hideout, because I knew without having to listen carefully through Mr. Lars that all sorts of protections were in place to prevent intruders from entering this mountain, even though it was supposed to do no harm to me. did not go

“Previously… .”

“Previously?”

“… heavy… .”

“… … .”

It was Alea, a dragon with a shell as hard as steel. Of course it would have been heavy. Therefore, this nun’s costume made a valid point.

“Come down.”

Tung… . container… .

Dragon Alea is like, ‘Sheesh! Not funny!’ came down with that feeling. Feeling that education is really difficult, I somehow swallowed the sigh that was about to come out. Because it was a law that guardians shouldn’t sigh carelessly. It was a law that there was no ward who was not sensitive and delicate.

“First of all, my child made a mistake.”

“My child… ?”

“Because I am taking care of him, he is my child.”

“Hmm… .”

The girl in the nun’s outfit, who was looking at the dragon Alea with a gaze full of meaning by moving only her eyes while lying down, soon relaxed her eyes… .

“Sleepy… .”

“Don’t sleep here. No matter how much divine power there is. Normally, I can’t even say it, so it wouldn’t be strange to freeze it.”

“I am special… . So let’s go.”

“This is so… .”

Strictly speaking, divine power in the temple is status. To put it even more exaggeratedly, the holy power almighty group, that is the temple. That’s why, if you are the owner of ignorant divine power that can fall asleep without any problems even if you use divine power like a waterfall in such a cold place… .

『The Saint』

I couldn’t think of anything other than that.

And it will definitely fit.

If that’s the case, why the hell is a girl in a position so great that she is called a ‘saint’ sleeping like this in front of my hideout?

“It’s difficult… .”

container! container! container!

As if agreeing with my words, the dragon Allea bounced back.

Hmm… .

why… .

I’m living in seclusion, so why can’t I have a quiet day?

♧♧♧

“What kind of person is the saintess?”

Leo, the candidate for the hero, asked like that with his eyes full of passion shining like he always does.

saintess!

Even though he had only spit two words out of his mouth, his respect was welling up. It wasn’t unusual for Leo to do this. Because in countless legends and histories, saints have left sacred achievements for generations. So Leo naturally thought that the current saint would also be a very holy and wonderful person.

“I’m curious too!”

It was the same for Misha, who is a disciple of the Sword Demon and spends days experiencing Sera’s training hell with Leo. Misha was happy that she had escaped from the training hell after a long time, but she was very happy now because she was able to go and meet a special person called a saint. Of course, it was a natural result that expectations for the saintess were welling up.

Sera, Leo, Misha

All three of them were candidates for the hero, so they came out to participate in the convocation of the candidate for the hero.

「Call for 1st Hero Candidates」

It was literally a gathering of warrior candidates.

As the center of power went to the first prince, this was going on regardless of the emperor.

It was natural.

1st warrior candidates summoned

Because it was the ‘Hero Selector’ who did this.

It is not the mercenary king Valik.

Because he has already chosen Sarah.

There was no way that he, who had no choice but to make an announcement at the right time, would do such a troublesome task as convening a candidate for the hero.

That’s what another ‘Hero Selector’ did.

And it was a ‘saint’.

But it was a strange thing. The ‘Hero Selector’ was because the Temple became a stakeholder in this hero candidate plan, so the Temple decided that selecting a hero was impossible, so it was a plausible patchwork made to fill the vacancy in the empire in a hurry. Anyway, it was a problem that I couldn’t help but see it as strange because there was a ‘saint’ in the temple.

… If that was a normal saint woman, it was like that.

However, the main character of this story, the saint, was different from the ordinary saint.

“Speaking of a saint might sound cool, but the one we are going to meet is the ‘Wandering Saint’. Don’t expect anything.”

“The wandering saint?”

“I’m hearing it for the first time too.”

“… That’s right.”

wandering saint

Literally, she was the saint chosen by Wolford, the god of wandering.

The problem was that their origin was ‘wandering’. They just wander and wander… . don’t get hung up on anything Of course, it is not connected with other temples. just wandering That’s why the wandering saint also couldn’t get away from the origin of wandering. That’s why the moment you see her with the image of a saint who often appears in legends or history, nothing but two letters of disappointment can come out. Anyway, that’s why such a wandering saint, even though she had the name of a saint, was given the position of ‘heroic selector’ as she was far from the temples.

‘I’m sure you forcibly handed over something you didn’t want to take on… .’

… But that’s why it was comfortable for Sera.

‘Because it always ended up choosing me anyway.’

Being a saint, she must have seen something special, but she always chose Sera as her hero. Even if Sera didn’t do anything, she chose Sera. It was the same even in the first period when there was no experience of regression. If there was a problem, it was that Sera had to go through a lot of hardships because of her selection. The Holy Grail given to the powerless is only a reason to destroy the powerless.

That’s why, for Sera in her powerless days, the wandering saint… .

It was something that was really hard to explain.

‘It doesn’t matter now.’

You just have to get selected by her.

As always, she would disappear after choosing Sera.

True to her name, the wandering saint disappeared from the world and wandered even when the world was perishing.

‘Quickly select me and disappear.’

The saintess possesses enormous divine power. So, it is clear that she will be a powerful force in the battle against the Demon King’s army. But Sarah knows. She never fights no matter what. It just wanders and disappears like it always does. It can’t be different from this episode where many things have changed in many ways.

So, in hopes of fulfilling her role properly and disappearing, Sera headed to the temple where the wandering saint was.

What was waiting for such a Sera… .

“The wandering saintess is missing?”

“go. You suddenly disappeared… .”

“… … .”

It was the news that the wandering saint who was supposed to keep her position and select her as a hero had gone missing.
