Chapter 87 – Dirty Date.

Sorrent, who had been turned upside down by an attack by monsters last night, welcomed peace with a quiet morning, as if her story from the previous day had been a lie.

In particular, as most of the men were mobilized for conscription, the busy morning felt even quieter as not many of them fell asleep, but there were also some who could not even get the delayed sleep.

“So how did this happen? Dragon Master?”

“Wow, can’t you just stop saying that?”

Tia Ran shook her head, shaking her head as if she had goosebumps at the sight of Lucia interrogating her with her arms crossed. They immediately returned to the dorm and sat together at the table.

“But it’s strange. If you’re not a hero, how did you catch the holy sword?”

Krusha also joined her, unable to hide his doubts, but she could not explain anything in particular.

“I don’t know either.”

“I don’t know, you say it?”

“It’s a lie, right?”

The girls looked at them in disbelief, but Tiaran was sincere.

“No matter what you say to me, it’s because I found out by chance that I can handle the holy sword.”

“Coincidence… How can you handle a holy sword by chance?”

Although Lucia couldn’t hide her bewildered face, it was truly a coincidence that he was handling the holy sword.

“Was it about 15 years ago? I guess so?”

At that time, he had just become a gold-level adventurer. As soon as he left home, he became an adventurer for the sake of status, and within 4 years he became a gold level adventurer.

That was an incredible leap forward for an adventurer. That’s because most veteran adventurers spend 5 years in Iron or 7 or 10 years in Silver before barely reaching Gold.

Because he became a gold level adventurer at least three times faster. Even though he had to solve the quest alone because no one in Nimakara was included in the party.

‘There was a lot of talk back then.’

Isn’t it a scam? Or, there were suspicions that he had taken bribes. As expected, Nimaka was the cause of all the rumors.

I don’t know if it was because he was fighting so hard, or because he was full of blood, but at that time, Tiaran did not avoid the fights that came his way, but instead crushed them all by crushing them.

“When they complete a few requests and then have fun and drink, they don’t even think about how I continued to work.”

Nimaka’s problem was bigger than he thought, and he had to work several times harder than others. That was the only way he was able to advance quickly.

“Wait a minute, so you’re saying it’s been gold for 15 years?!”

“There are some people who live their whole lives in bronze or iron.”

Krusha spoke as if she was surprised, but Tiaran ignored it. Above all, he went on a hiatus for 8 years.

“If it’s a gap period…”

“What you’re thinking is probably right. I had to work as a warrior.”

“Wait a minute, normally the orders are placed in the form of requests from the Adventurer’s Guild, so there won’t be a gap, right?”

The reason the warrior party went through the adventurer’s guild even when receiving a request from the royal palace or nobles was because that side would not be heavily involved politically, and it would be easier to leave records.

It would have been normal if my career had accumulated and there had been no gaps.

“You can tell just by looking at my head and eyes, right?”

“”Ah.””

They took turns looking at Tiaran and Anis, who soon took off their helmets. While Anise had pure white hair and golden eyes, his eyes and hair were gray.

“I happened to be able to wield a holy sword. Isn’t this what I look like to be considered a hero?”

Even though Crugild had the same eyes and hair color as Anise, didn’t people completely believe him even though he only claimed to be a hero while holding a sword that looked like a holy sword?

“… But the only difference is the eyes and hair color, right?”

Anis spoke as if he was somehow displeased, but he shook his head.

“What people see is more important than you think.”

“That’s right. For thousands of years, all warriors have had the same eye and hair color without a single exception. In such a situation, it would have been difficult for someone like Tiaran to be recognized.”

In addition to Tiaran’s words, Lucia also explained it to Anis, but her expression did not look very good either. The Goddess Church, commonly called a religious order, boasts a long history and has many people who deeply believe in the existence of the goddess.

Those in the know also know that those who pretend to be warriors are punished without mercy. But isn’t it so that someone with hair color and eyes that have nothing to do with the goddess is wielding a holy sword that only a warrior can wield?

“They probably didn’t want to acknowledge the existence of a hero with different eyes and hair color than the goddess they served.”

Therefore, the church used Tiaran but completely banned external activities. Even if requested, he did not do anything that would leave a record, and even when he fought against demons and stood on the battlefield, he remained anonymous.

“Then the reason you’ve been walking around wrapped in armor until now is to avoid the eyes of the church…?”

Lucia must have misunderstood something, but she looked at him with tears in her dark blue eyes.

“Is it because you feel empty if you don’t wear it?”

“”Ugh?!””

When she heard his answer, she fell down with Krusha.

“In the first place, I reached an agreement with the church members and quit.”

Since Tia Ran did not have Maka, it was impossible to make a contract with her Maka, but the church offered her to live quietly with various rewards, and he was given freedom from interference on the condition that he keep quiet about his past affairs.

“That’s why I was living leisurely in these outskirts.”

Still, it wasn’t that there weren’t any records left. In the past, performance was important to party members, so they tried to keep separate records, so the fact that he was with them was unintentionally left behind.

Therefore, Sorrent’s Adventurer’s Guild branch, which only checked the records without knowing the details, thought of him as a gold-level adventurer who was awkwardly placed among platinum-level party members.

“Huh, I understand. I can’t help it if I don’t know.”

“Ugh, in the end, I wasn’t even treated like a hero.”

“How can you treat me like a hero? I don’t think of myself as a hero either.”

There is no need to regret it as it is something you never wanted in the first place. That was it.

“I’m a little tired, so I’ll think about the rest after I sleep.”

“Whoa, come to think of it, I stayed up all night.”

Lucia also covered her mouth, as if overcome by fatigue she had forgotten about.

“Lucia keeps carrying me around.”

“Ugh, it’s hard to balance!”

“Well, it’s that big. Is there nothing we can do? Oh, I’m going to sleep first!”

“Eye! Aren’t you going to stand there?!”

Today, after checking on the two people who were bickering and leaving, he also headed to his room.

“Is there anything left to say?”

“…”

When she asked the woman who came in after her, Anise hesitated, avoiding her gaze and chewing her lips before opening her mouth.

“You know. Tiaran was kicked out of the church. Is it my fault?”

“No, why do you think so?”

“But they say he was a warrior for 8 years.”

Even if I worked at the church for 8 years, I still had 7 years left to get to where I am now. Above all, the reason she couldn’t help but guess the reason.

“It was seven years ago that Master took me away from the village.”

Because the time when Tiaran left the church and the time when the teacher found out that Anis was a warrior and entrusted her to the Erpojanet family were exactly the same.

“If I weren’t a hero, Tiaran would be…”

I turned around at the sound of sniffling and saw Anise’s face with tears in her eyes.

“Let’s sit down and talk first.”

When Tia Ran sat down on the bed and patted her side, she came closer and sat down next to her.

“Don’t think so much. It’s good for me that the cultists don’t bother me.”

“But. Sigh.”

Anise didn’t want to believe that he thought he was making excuses for her, but she accepted it quietly as she hugged his shoulder and stroked his head.

“It’s a pity, but it’s true. These guys are terrible even if they work hard just because their eyes and hair color are different. Will they treat them better if they work longer?”

“That’s…”

“The answer is no.”

In fact, the Holy Knights, who were supposed to follow the warrior like dogs, never followed him even once, and even in the important mission of subjugating high-ranking demons, the promised support continued to not come, so they fought as if it was not there.

“If I were still there now, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of a life like this.”

If we were told that he had to continue fighting without being guaranteed proper compensation as an adventurer, he would not have been able to endure it and would have thrown a tantrum.

“More than anything, I met you like this. How could I not like it?”

“Tiaran…”

Anise looked up with her golden eyes blurred.

“Take off your clothes.”

“Suddenly?”

“Yeah, it’s Tiaran’s fault for making me look bad♡”

She smiled mischievously and covered his lips with hers.

“Tseup, tseup!”

“Tsk, tskpaat.”

As he accepted her tongue between his teeth and intertwined her tongue, they had taken off their clothes and were embracing each other.

“Ugh ♡ Paha ♡ Poke something hard ♡”

Anise smiled as if she didn’t notice his cock grazing her lower abdomen, placed the head of his penis against her belly button, and gently rubbed it as if she was going to swallow it. Tiarand was also watching the sight of transparent pre-cum accumulating and shining in his small belly button.

“You know. I think Tiaran is better suited as a hero than me. Tiaran handles the holy sword much better, right?”

“No, you still say that…”

Tiaran was at a loss for words while trying to say something to Anis, who suddenly spoke negatively. She got down between his legs, and she placed his cock on top of her face.

“Hehe♡ Wouldn’t a holy sword stand suit me better?”

“Huh.”

Yes, as if it were a pedestal.

“So, Tiaran. Use me as a pedestal♡”
