Chapter 11 – Quest

Is it morning

I decided to go out early in the morning to collect the bounty, so if I was going to go, I had to get up and go right away.

After waking up and stretching for a while, I was thinking of getting ready, but for some reason, something warm was wrapped around my body.

For a moment.

Something was strange.

Come to think of it, didn’t I tell the warrior to sleep together yesterday?

Of course, I remember that I slept comfortably thinking that there would be no such thing because the blanket was laid like a wall so that the hero and I would not touch each other. Although, unlike the character Rumia, she struggles so hard that it makes a mess on her bed, but she thought it would be okay.

However, it seems that my thoughts were completely wrong.

“…”

Was hugged

I was being held by something.

To be precise, it seemed to be close to holding each other.

I couldn’t see my face because I was on the small side, but I could tell that I was being held by someone when I saw my chest.

No how did this happen

As far as I know, there was no setting that the hero struggled or talked too much in his sleep, so when I approached and hugged him first, I could only guess that the hero who touched me was unconsciously hugging me in his sleep. In fact, either way, my expectations were completely shattered.

“?!?!?!”

I panicked and tried to get out of the bosom,

“Hmm.. Rumia..?”

Perhaps because of my struggle, the warrior who woke up looked down at me.

As soon as the hero realized that I was being held by him, he froze on the spot.

…

…

Fuck this…

Ha..

It is really sunny and warm.

I don’t think there’s anything cooler than jumping into a river in this kind of weather. I’m going to jump in with my clothes on anyway and I won’t come back to the surface, so I don’t need a towel at all, so please let me know.

“Lu, Rumia..?”

“…”

“I got the bounty…”

The warrior said so and showed me the money.

Normally, I would have liked seeing more money, but now I’m not in the mood for that.

No matter how much I don’t have the energy to respond to ignoring it, it’s not Hero’s fault.

I couldn’t just ignore it because I was in a bad mood, so I couldn’t help but nod my head.

“Sorry Rumia..”

I shook my head.

It wasn’t really something the warrior should be sorry for.

Only..

That..

It was just because I couldn’t believe that I was being held by someone when I woke up in the morning, and I couldn’t believe that I was being held by a man. If I had known this was going to happen, I should have gone down and slept.

Why did this happen after I had to ask to sleep together?

As soon as we came downstairs, the hostess, who saw that the atmosphere was awkward with each other, looked at us with a subtle expression. Yesterday, he seemed like a strong supporter, but after receiving such attention, I could understand why he sided with me yesterday.

Yesterday it was clear that I was crazy.

Sad..

“If you’re tired, shall we take another day off?”

I shook my head.

I’m going to go to the big city anyway and take the teleport magic circle with the privilege of a warrior and go straight to the holy kingdom.

In fact, I don’t want to leave everything else and go back to that inn.

I looked down at my hands.

Now that I think about it, it was quite warm and comfortable.

How can I say it… I don’t know what to say to a man I don’t know, but it felt like a father’s arms, or a family’s arms. Originally, the human body has a high temperature, so it’s warm, so it’s just that you feel that way.

Only problem was that it didn’t feel that bad.

That’s why I feel even more bizarre.

To say that I was sleeping with a man hugging each other… It wasn’t me, it was in my sleep, so strictly speaking, it would be correct to say that I was sleeping hugged, not hugged, but that was it anyway.

No matter who did it, the fact that I was holding him still didn’t change.

I covered my face with both hands.

It was clear I was crazy.

I really have nothing to say. Ah..

I turned to Hero.

Is that guy okay?

This side is embarrassing, and the fact that I was sleeping while being held by a man keeps filling my head and driving me crazy.

Feeling grumpy for no reason, I kicked the leg of a passing hero.

“Evil!”

The hero I kicked looked at me with question marks on his face, but I avoided his gaze.

I wanted to hit him more, but I decided to put up with it.

Let’s get on the carriage or go quickly, please.

.
.
.

The place we headed straight for was none other than the adventurer’s guild.

Although he is a nationally recognized hero, he basically starts as a C-class adventurer.

Considering that most of them rot at level D at the maximum level, it could be seen as really unconventional. Besides, it is said that most of the past warriors have risen to the S rank, so the hero of this generation will be able to rise to the S rank in an instant…” Explained the guild staff.

The expression of the guild staff seems to be so happy to meet a famous warrior. No, to be precise, that seemed close to going crazy after seeing the hero’s appearance.

I would normally do that, but today, things overlapped, and I thought that it was all because of that probable appearance, so I felt even worse. The hero who approached me with an expression that seemed to be in a good mood seemed to have finished the story.

“…”

The hero said with a confused expression, as if he had noticed that my expression was not very good.

“Eh.. Did I do something wrong..?”

I haven’t done anything wrong, but it’s just that I feel bad overall.

In fact, the biggest reason seems to be because of what happened this morning.

“Anyway, Lumia! Good news!”

What the hero smiled brightly and handed to me was nothing but a request.

What was written in that foreign request was a text about wanting to be escorted by D-class or higher adventurers on their way to the big city of Plania.

Speaking of D-class or higher, I could see that it was just me and Hero.

I originally made a name for myself as a D-class wizard, and then came to be with the hero, and the hero is recognized as a C-class adventurer because he is a real warrior who even possesses a holy sword as a warrior certified by the state.

In other words, among the D-class or higher adventurers mentioned in the request, we could be included sufficiently.

Aside from whether or not I could use magic properly.

Since we have to go all the way to Plania anyway, he must have decided that it would be better to go after receiving this request, where you can even receive the request reward.

“How is it?”

I nodded my head at the hero’s question.

So far, the story seems to be going smoothly.

Of course, there is not much to say about the story because it is in the game, but it means that the basic setting is going well. First of all, in the game setting, it was said that he would take on the role of an escort and move to the large city of Plania.

Of course, this quest gives a very luxurious reward.

In other words, it is one of a kind tutorial.

It’s a bit of a tutorial, no, it’s a problem because a very daunting incident happened. This time, rather than something happening as a person to person, it is dangerous because you are attacked by monsters while escorting.

Getting to Plania is very fast.

The reason why the reward was so generous in the first place was because it was very dangerous because they had to cross the dark forest instead of taking a long way safely to get to Plania as quickly as possible for commercial reasons.

I looked up at the hero as if he was okay.

It’s not that he was recognized as a C-class for nothing, the current hero is very strong even though he’s at the level of a baby chick.

However, the Dark Night Forest is a more terrifying place than that.

“Don’t worry. All the other adventurers said they were going together, so it won’t be that dangerous.”

“…”

If so..

“And… I’ll be sure to protect you.”

The hero said so with a face full of determination.

Uh… Well…

I nodded my head in bewilderment.

It’s kind of cool…But it’s a lot of cringe.

I thought so as I swipe my skinny wrist.
