Running Away From The Hero!

# 6 Their Reason: What a priest's Reason

“How about some warm soup, Saint? ”

An Elf is giving you a warm soup.

“Oh, yes. Thank you."

The soup from the Elves is also vegetable-flavored.

Now it was soup that my ex-colleague Selena used to make.

Selena's soup has become a distant memory.

To refresh those memories, I ate a little soup with my hands.

“I had an Elven colleague once... It tastes just like the soup he made me. It's really good.”

It's not empty.

For Elves living with nature, animals are a part of nature and their friends.

Because of this, it is the character of the Elves that they do not eat meat except in special circumstances.

I heard that even in that particular time, you eat natural dead animals.

That's why Elves are all veggie experts!

Some people think cooking is a human relic, but it's not.

because every creature is a creature that eats and wants to eat something delicious.

So do the Elves.

Even if you eat vegetables, you don't just eat grass like animals.

We've developed all sorts of dishes with vegetables, and we've been studying them for generations.

Among them, Selena would have been a good cook.

It's because I traveled with a mysteriously obsessed warrior.

So the person who makes this soup is a really good cook, or an elf.

I can't believe you can cook at a similar level to Selena's!

“Oh my! What a fellow! Selena cooked this soup! ”

“Yes?”

I almost dropped the bowl of soup I was holding, but I could barely hold onto it.

“Is Selena here? ”

“Of course. She's an Elven warrior, too. Of course I was willing to go and kill the evil Demon Lord's cub. ”

It was a life-changing moment.

The Demon King is a representative of the Demon God, also called a servant of the Evil God.

Because the goddess of compassion and devotion, who was their god, was sealed by evil gods and asleep on the ground, the Elves had heard that they were furious with their teeth when it came to being associated with evil gods, but it seemed to me that they hated evil gods more than rumors.

“May I call Selena? ”

He was an Elven Warrior who smiled kindly as if he had lived.

“If it doesn't become a lung……. ”

“If the Saint of the Church of Nature wants it, he should listen to it. ”

“Thank you."

This is nature's cult, the most friendly cult among the Elves.

Thanks to you, everyone seems to treat me kindly as a saint of the Church of Nature.

In that case!

“I'm sorry, but I have business with the Church... Can you drop me off at a nearby town?" ”

“No. ”

I felt faint at the sound of the elf's cold voice.

You sound like you lost your life when you were talking about evil gods.

It was a voice that showed no hostility towards me, but it was absolutely impossible.

“Well, is it? ”

“Yes, it is. Lillia, the High Elf and Warden of the World Water, has ordered us not to leave the Saint alone... N-no, keep him safe. ”

I was going to say surveillance.

He said he would catch me to keep an eye on me, not protect me!

“Why on earth……. ”

“That's ……. ”

The cold voice is loosening.

“That's … that's ……. ”

It was hard to see a famous Elf blushing and ashamed, but I could tell.

And I know it's feeling kind of embarrassing.

“The prince was asked to do that.... ”

It was more embarrassing than embarrassing.

“Prince... ”

What the hell is Naran?

A teacher of warriors, a teacher of the Demon King, an apostle carrying an evil god, and a high elf guarding the world's waters.

I don't know what it is, but it's terrifying!

Mother Nature, please save your lamb from this chaos!

- I'm sorry... I don't have the strength...

“Cough!”

“Are you all right?”

“Oh, I'm fine. ”

I coughed without even knowing the answer of the God of Nature.

Oh, my God.

- I'm sorry, you're gonna have to work a little harder.

“Ah……. ”

God, why do all the answers look like that?

What have I done wrong?

- For world peace……. Give me a little more strength...

“God……. ”

The world must be at peace, of course.

I thought I could give my life for it.

- Yeah, that's the spirit! Heel, my servant Heel Shuttle, bear with me a little longer. If only you defeat the Demon Lord's Apostle, I will reward you in the name of God.

A reward promised by the God of Nature by name. Probably a big reward.

No, this promise alone earned me the highest honor as a saint.

But God, I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid of the pain that continues. I'm afraid I'm going to live on.

- I'm sorry...

God, I don't want an apology! Please let me out of this evil snare!

- I'm sorry...

Ah... It's hopeless.

I kept repeating that God is sorry again.

“Heel……. ”

Selena was looking at me with a strange look.

“Selena……. ”

“Where's the warrior? ”

“I understand you went up north to fight the Demon King. ”

- He ran.

I answered Selena, who asked how the warrior was, what I knew, and the God of Nature said something completely different than what I knew.

W-what does that mean?

- He jumped out as soon as he heard his master was dying while fighting another Demon King.

- How did the battle go?

- You eliminated a lot of enemy troops, but the new Demon King suffered heavy casualties.

They were humanity's hope, but they suffered so much damage! Is everything all right?

- Many survived because the warrior gave the order to retreat to justify his escape.

I think it means that your escape has had a good impact on the world.

The problem is, since then, the warrior has gone missing and his command is shaking.

Which means...

- Yes, my saint Hill, there is only one thing you can do. That bastard…….

“Shuttle.”

Even before the word of the God of Nature ended, Naran suddenly came in and said to me with a firm expression.

- We have to get the warrior cub.

“I'm going after the warrior. ”

God of Nature, you are saying the same thing as the apostle of the Evil God... Are you okay?

- I'm sorry...

# 7 Their Reason: The Reason of a Warrior

“Huff...! ”

I try to heal by spraying potions on the wound, but it doesn't work as well.

I saw the damage of the dragon that was the new Demon King.

I could barely escape, but the relentless Demon Lord caused me pain everywhere in my body.

If we can get the Temple's support, we can recover quickly.

“I can't do that. ”

The instructor may be dead.

Well, he may not be dead if he tries, but he's the Demon King, the master and apostle of evil gods, who knows you well!

You won't be able to survive this time.

“You have to believe that. ”

Otherwise, the instructor will be chasing me.

As a warrior leading the warriors, you will know that I fled to kill the Demon King.

“If so……. ”

It's the worst. It'll live forever.

I'm even more afraid that the instructor will save me at the end of my life.

I rubbed the potion sprinkled on the wound that made the chicken fat rise all over my body and applied it evenly.

This is the lowest potion diluted in water, but will be better than nothing.

“It's the middle of the continent now, so it'll take longer to get down to the south. ”

Pull out the map and check its location.

The Karan Empire is nearby. It's dangerous, but I heard it's dark under the lamp.

I heard that the instructor snuck into Eugracia in the capital city of the Empire to avoid the Empress.

So I should also follow the instructor and dig where I think the opponent is most dangerous.

Yeah, think about it.

Those like Mira will be on the front lines fighting the evil god's army.

Except for Her Royal Highness' troops, those who would face me against the Empire would be swordsmen or men similar to her.

It's worth a try.

No, this is another chance.

If the instructor were alive, he wouldn't have come to get me deep within the Empire.

There will be iron pickings.It will be safer to make a worthy warrior the leader.

“Let's get going, shall we? ”

Arrange your mind and check your equipment.

The Sword is always in peak condition and has two Daggers and an Iron One-Handed Shield purchased with Potions in a nearby city.

The Dagger can only be used once, but if the shield doesn't contain a sword or magical power, it can withstand dozens of attacks.

Boom!

“Huh?"

The sudden sound instinctively shields you.

The shield was made of iron, so the shield was easy to defend.

“Huh?"

I could feel a drop of cold sweat dripping down my back as I watched the shield shattered with one arrow.

“Who are you?”

If it were an arrow with magical power, I wouldn't be so surprised.

It was a surprise.

I would have blamed my mistakes for not putting magic in my shield.

However, if the opposing Pokémon fires an arrow without any magical power, the tale will be different.

I can't believe you made an iron shield with one arrow that doesn't have magic in it!

Uses special bows and arrows in conjunction with a magical archery.

And that's who!

“Elves!”

“Take the shot!”

You shout, striking dozens of arrows at the moment.

“Did you enter the Elven Forest? I'm Swine, a warrior in the Church of Nature. There seems to be a misunderstanding... ”

The Elflans were famous for their exclusion from other races.

It's not on the map, but if there was a town nearby, it wouldn't be weird to attack like that.

But it was very strange for an arrow to fly even though I told you I was a warrior.

No, is it because I heard that nature's warrior is taking more aggression than before?

I don't think it's the mood!

“Grrrgh!"

The wound on your side explodes again as you flick the arrow with magic.

I learned restorative magic, but it was a shame that my skill level was so low after meeting Heel.

“Huff...! Story!”

“Stories will be listened to if they are easily overwhelmed! ”

It would be a good way to be overwhelmed.

Elves don't lie.

If it turns out that I'm a warrior, I'm sure I won't be hostile.

But why do I feel like I shouldn't be caught?

If we get caught here now, something very bad will happen.

So, um...

“Let's bounce first. ”

You use magic to block the arrow, but at the same time, you don't look back and start running.

But did they create a siege?

Seeing the rain of arrows flying from all sides, there seems to be at least hundreds of elves gathering.

But who am I? I was a person who had learned to run away from the instructor, a fugitive expert.

No matter how well the Elves run, they can't keep up with me!

So I ran away from the Elves.

“Found it, warrior. ”

“You found it, pupil. ”

“Huh?"

I met with the shuttle and the instructor.

“You're hurt bad! ”

I also met an iron fist who gladly looked at my wounds.
