Chapter 29 – The Secret of the Hero Alberic

Episode 29 Hero Alberic’s Secret

Deciding to accompany the hero Alberic was only a half success.

The good thing is,

“Hey, a lot of hard work.”

“Oh! Yes, Lord Alberic!”

None of the soldiers, politicians, or priests we encountered on the road did any questioning or questioning of our party.
So, until we reached the cathedral, our movements went unnoticed.

The bad thing is… Everything else.

For example,

“… Why do you keep looking at me?”

Hehe, no!
No!”

I keep looking at Marianne and Rebekah.
If this is clairvoyant, it must be real gaze rape, right?
So Marianne and Rebekah had to put on magic shields to keep out the Tutsians.

“I am better!
You shouldn’t take it out carelessly… !”

“Ugh!
How many of the attendants serving the saintess are so young!
Don’t you know that the saintess is kept safe thanks to us?
Protection tax, protection tax!”

With an attitude that doesn’t know if it’s an escort or escort, Alberic’s knights in the camp recklessly plunder our supplies.

“Kyaaak!
Gee, where are you coming in now?!”

“Oops, I drank a little.
I was out of my mind…
Hehe, sorry.”

It was like Alberic was trying to enter Marianne and Rebekah’s tent pretending to be drunk, but the paladins came running to Rebekah’s screams.

“… Those bastards, I guess I can tell without seeing what they do to civilians on the battlefield.”

“How do uncivilized humans hold the military discipline…
Those who call themselves aristocratic knights are a mess, Captain.”

“I know.
It’s the complete opposite of Ran.”

Jacques and Ludwig trembled at their atrocities.

“Anyway, it will arrive around noon tomorrow.
Let’s just endure it for one night.”

Ludvik and Jacques and I decided to sleep together in the wagon, and Marianne and Rebekah decided to sleep in the entrance right in front of our wagon.
The Paladins were about to set up guards around the tent to protect them from Alberic.

“Wah haha! Try some of this!”

“You kill the taste of white wine?!”

I want to kill you, you assholes.

More than 20 scoundrels are holding a half-festival with our daily bread and supplies.
Yes, eat a lot and be mesmerized.

Rustle rustle.

“Where are you going, chief?”

“I’m going to feed the tiger’s mouth.
I’m watching that tent while I’m on my way.
A hero might sneak into that tent over there.”

I approached Alberic with a very strong drink that I had secretly hidden in the wagon.

“I-I’m better…”

Kneeling.

“Uh? Are you that coachman?”

“Yes yes. Be better
I brought it because I thought it would be nice to have this drink here.”

Acting servile, he pays tribute to Alberic.

I don’t care about actions, but this person is not taking any precautions right now.
In addition, it is a great opportunity to find out information about the family’s enemies and the reason why the three women’s contributions are hidden.

“Oh! Are you quick-witted?!
Okay, pour yourself a drink!”

Cubby.

“Here, here…”

“No. Let you have a drink first!
It’s your drink, so it’s polite to taste it before offering it.”

He doesn’t dry his mouth even once, and even secretly checks his poison while talking.
This guy is also a bully
Don’t lie

Clap clack.

“Big… Flaw!”

“Sir, it’s quite poisonous, but it tastes good!”

“Okay? Hmm… Let’s see.”

His eyes were like, ‘Why are you pretending to be friends all of a sudden? He seems like a very suspicious person. But I like alcohol!”

Sniffling.

“Oh oh… !
It’s a bit strong, but it’s fragrant and goes down your throat!”

“It’s an expensive Arakam distillery with flavor added!”

I crouched as much as I could, and made a posture and expression that seemed servile.

“Okay? This is great. Cluck.”

I hesitantly spoke to Alberic, who was in a good mood.

“I’m glad you like it.
Our herbalist plans to advance into alcohol processing in the future.”

I started talking wildly to bring up the story of the herbalist.
Alcohol processing?
A plan is a plan.
The plan is to fall over anytime.

“… Herbalist?
Hey, aren’t you a coachman?”

“Haha, I run an herbalist in Amitie.
The wagon over there is also our herbalist’s items and donated relief goods.”

Everything you eat is mine, so at least pretend to be sorry.

“Ah, it was.
Got it.
Go now.”

… This kid is real

“Yes, yes.
Before I go, I want to give a small gift to the famous hero…”

“Gift? What gift?”

He didn’t even look at my face, he only looked at the campfire.
When we talk about gifts, our eyes suddenly meet.

“There is an herb I sell that is very valuable, and it is very good for men… Hehe.
Would you like to give me a little?”

“Hmm? No. It’s okay.”

What? Not interested in this?
Isn’t this the topic of having problems in a marital relationship?

“Yes, yes!
Oh, by the way, there are some ham and cheese in the wagon. Would you like some as a snack?”

“That’s good. Bring it.”

“Yes!”

I quickly went to the wagon.
Bring a couple more bottles of alcohol along the way.

On my way back, two of the warrior’s entourage were by Hero’s side.
The attendants very willingly eat and drink the alcohol and snacks I recommend.

“Hehe, I’m so happy to see a famous person like you.
Could you tell me the story of defeating that vicious demon king?”

“Extermination of the demon lord?!
Graham!
I mean… !”

Traditionally, people who are full of bravado like this will be very drunk when you flatter them at a drinking party and ask them to tell you their proud story.
Let’s start with the hero’s signature feat.

“His Highness the King called me just right after hearing the news that I was making an outstanding performance in the war.
Fit me! By designation!
That’s why I said that my colleagues also collected them…”

Hero Alberic started with the story of how he was first selected as a special task force member.

“With that old wizard, and with the old ranger… Marianne… Big!
Anyway, with help, I invaded the castle!”

The most important part was left out.
In the special task force recruited by the king, the story of the saint of the sun and the knight of the moon was completely omitted, and the story of the princess of the star who contributed the most to the invasion of the demon castle was also omitted.

Contrary to what Marianne told me after the bid, Alberic hides it thoroughly.
Why?
Being silenced by someone?
Is it because it is beneficial to you?

“Defeat the flying dragons,
Perfect for the top floor of the Demon Tower! I’m going in…”

“Oh oh! Dragon! What does a dragon look like?!”

“Huh? Don’t you know your dragon?
After all, you are a merchant!
It was a red dragon much larger and more ferocious than the one described in the text!
To me, it’s just a winged, fire-breathing obese lizard, but people like you will faint.”

“Wow, you are amazing, hero!”

Not only me, but the knights next to me were immersed in it, so Alberic seemed to be getting more and more excited as he gesticulated.

… Anyway, this bastard mixes a lot of bullshit.
The dragon guarding the Demon King’s Tower is a black dragon.
It is clear that the black dragon Karamit was not there when this guy attacked.

“So the moment we reach the top floor of Mawanggung!
A devil the size of a giant with bull-like horns is perfect! He was sitting on a chair the size of a house.
‘I was waiting. Alberic.’
I get goosebumps when I say this… !”

Hey, even though that old man is a bit big, why do they say he’s the size of a giant?
He’s about two heads taller than me.
It’s because he’s overly muscular and his forearms are thick.
What kind of chair is the size of the table?

“I said to the demon king, ‘Yes, I have come to judge you. It’s time for you, the one who bullied the people, to fall!’, But he shot a river of red and black fire!
Wow, if she wasn’t a real saint…”

“Yes? Are you a saint?
Did the saintess go too?”

“No no no!
The saintess blesses her before departure, sprinkles her holy water, and that’s it.
That’s right, they gave me good items too!
Haha! I blocked
Huh, how counting!”

It is necessary to listen to the words of the hero Alberic, but it seems to be true that Marianne at least once blocked the demon king’s magic dye.
Great?

“I was fighting the demon king like that…”

“Were there any other escorts by your side?”

“Oh right.
That’s a good question, Bill.
There was an escort next to him.
It wasn’t very strong.
Two men and one woman.”

Thud!

My heart feels like it’s going down.

I urgently ask

“That… Those who were in charge of escorting the demon lord, what do they look like?”

“Hmm? Yeah… It was like this…”

“Could the hair…”

“Oh, the men were black… The woman…
But does it matter?”

Excluding the scary expression and exaggerated height from Alberic’s general explanation, my family’s appearance and appearance
It’s almost the same.

… Damn it, damn it
I want to change this fuck.

Beep beep.

“?! What if you drink it in such a hurry?
Is this a very strong drink?”

“Ah, yes, sir.
The story of the warrior changed my taste for alcohol… Lol.”

A knight next to me stops my binge.

Fuck… Should I just kill it now… ?
…
No.
A wizard, a ranger, a moon knight, a star princess, and even that human king.
There are a lot of bitches to kill, and there are mountains of things to work on.
Have to be patient…
We have to do the basic work so that we can kill each one with great care.

“So we unleashed our special moves on the demon king and his escorts!
Sword of Judgment, One-Point Strike, Cloud of Death, Spear of the Sun, Torrent of Glacier…
But the Demon King didn’t budge.”

Alberic’s excited words are just heard in the background.

Ah… Mother, father, brother…
If that many attacks had been poured out in an instant, at least they would have gone peacefully and without pain…
I will…
Should have been…

I’m a twig with a sad heart
It was broken and thrown into a bonfire.

Duduk. Clap.

“That’s why I cut the demon king’s neck at the end! I cut it off.
That’s how the Demon King was defeated! Haha!”

“Wow, that’s great.
Isn’t that why he married Princess Catherine?!
An example of a knight.
It is like a fairy tale!”

“Huh? Ah… Yes. Uhm.”

Alberic was a little taken aback by the admiration of the knight next to him.

Huh? Didn’t this guy flinch when he talked about his wife?

“Isn’t Princess Catherine also beautiful?!
Great, I envy you.”

“What is this friend’s beauty?
How chaste, how classy, ​​how homely?
You also gave birth to a son who will become the crown prince this time.
There is no exemplary princess like that!”

“Exemplary… Yes, exemplary.”

Look at this You seem dissatisfied with being exemplary?

“Ay~
What are you so shy about?”

“Do you still love me?”

“…”

Alberic didn’t say much to the knights’ wicked questions.
In no time, the story continues.
I was also noisy in various ways, so I said I would go to bed first and woke up.

After thinking about my family, my heart is depressed again.

I should have been by your side at that time…

“Hey, hey.”

“… Yes?”

When I turned around, Alberic, who was very drunk, approached me with a reddened face.

“Did you say herbalist?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Come here for a second.”

“… ?”

Alberic drags me to a remote place nearby.

“Could you say
Can I get a drug that makes a woman feel good?”

What is this again?

“Yes? Speaking of scented candles for calming the mind and body…”

“No no, not that.
There’s that I use it when making rice cakes.”

Vocabulary is cheap.
The content is worth looking at.

“Haha, that’s actually my major.
A drug that makes women feel good.
There are things that are secretly sold to nobles and elders.”

“Get me some of that.
Make good use of the case.”

What is this guy
A sexless couple, what is that?
From what I heard earlier, my wife is a model student, and this guy is a bitch.
Are you having kids and not having sex?
As the knights next to me said earlier, he was chaste and exemplary… They say that.
Could it be that you are too modest for your husband?

“Lol. All right.
However, it is better to prepare as much as it guarantees the efficacy of the drug.”

“… What preparations?”

“So, this aphrodisiac works well, but it’s custom made.
The subject’s body information is required.
Like hair or something like that.”

Alberic’s expression suddenly became serious.
He crossed his arms and rested his chin.

… Is it that hard to get your wife’s hair?
It’s not just sexless, it’s a bad level?
Or not… The wife is not the target.

“… Are you sure it will work?”

“Sure. The repurchase rate is 100%.”

“… Got it.
If you tell me the location of the herbalist, I will send someone.”

“Yes, the name of the herbalist is… And the position is… No see.
In case you don’t know, here’s a business card.
Oh by the way, sorry for the old woman, but please make sure you don’t confuse it with someone else’s hair.
Unexpectedly, such accidents happen a lot.”

“Okay. The amount…”

“Ah, how can I get money from the great warrior?”

“Huh? Still…”

“Can I ask you a favor instead?”

“This guy!
You will die if you say nonsense!”

Alberic threatens with great coercion on the day of the liver.
But who am I? I am a businessman who has built a franchise herbalist by picking and selling herbs with his bare hands.

“Ayu, this is a very small request.
I’m in the process of pioneering a route to supply herbs to the royal palace…
Please only invite me to bid for the herbalist organized by the Ministry of the Interior.
I’ll take care of everything with my skills!
You just really need to give me an invitation on time.”

“Really… ?”

“Yes!
I came up from the provinces and had no connections, so I couldn’t even get invited to such a place.
Originally, it was open to the public on the bulletin board to recruit, but when it came to the capital, everyone secretly opened it secretly in collusion.
Since Princess Catherine is in charge of the palace affairs, I ask that the warrior give me invitations only…”

“Hmm… Yes, that makes sense.
I get it.
If you divulge this instead, your life will be lost.
Tearing limbs apart
Got it?”

“Radish… Of course!
Lol…”

I smiled servilely and withdrew.

Good. It’s a phone call
I will approach the hero Alberic and infiltrate the palace.

I clenched my fists.
What? Are you quiet?
Wait and see
Soon your wife will crawl under me and make me groan.
I don’t do eye rape.
It sucks
Really do this

Make fun plans
I will tell the hero Alberic’s wife about my cock soon.
Because that’s the hypnotist’s way!!
