I Broke Off My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero - I Broke Off My Engagement With My Childhood Friend, the Hero chapter 2

2 – Warrior Party (1 player)

Cities. Arcana.

This city, nicknamed the Brilliant City, is, as it says, one of the most prosperous cities in the country.

Of course, the size itself is not comparable to the capital Espada, but in terms of commercial aspects, it is large enough to be comparable to the capital city.

Of course, merchants and travelers often visit such an arcana, and thanks to that, the food is very delicious.

“Ma’am, here’s some duck meat and a bottle of beer, please.”

Among them, duck meat here is excellent. It’s a dish that anyone who has visited this place even once can’t stop ordering.

In the past, our warrior party fought to protect Arcana against the Four Heavenly Kings. At that time, I was served duck meat, and the taste was so delicious that it left an impression on me.

After that, I kept thinking about it and wanted to eat it, but now that I have an opportunity like this, I don’t feel sad if I don’t eat it.

“Oh. Isn’t this Mr. Dogram?”

“Yes… That’s right. Who are you?”

While I was enjoying the delicious duck meat, someone started talking to me.

He was a young guard with a good impression.

I don’t know him very well, but the young guard talked to me as if he knew me very well.

“Ah. He was the one who helped me when I fought against the Four Heavenly Kings in the past.”

“Aha. I see. It’s already been three years. Do you remember me?”

“Ahh. Of course I know. How can I forget the benefactor who saved us?”

“hahahahaha… This is embarrassing.”

After talking, it seems that this person is probably a guard who was present when fighting the Four Heavenly Kings in the past.

Well, we’ve defended this city from the Four Heavenly Kings in the past.

A normal citizen might not know this, but the guards saw us right in front of us, so it’s not strange for them to remember.

“How grateful I was back then… It’s not like this, I’m the son of the owner of this store. I’ll provide some service.”

Wow…!!!

Such luck.

“Thank you. Then I’ll take it without hesitation. hahahaha.”

This is the small happiness that comes out when you have a warrior party.

Honestly, why would I want to do something like a hero’s party?

When I receive favors like this and receive gratitude, I still feel rewarding like a drug.

I wonder if he did it knowing that it was a stupid thing to do?

Anyway, it’s a feeling that only those who have tried it know.

“Yum yum.”

I began to enjoy the duck meat I received as a service.

While the scent of duck meat filled my mouth, thinking about the warrior party made me think about the remaining children.

Come to think of it, will Lulu be okay?

There is no Saint Laniri in the party right now.

She has something going on in the central cathedral right now and she is away from the warriors party for a while.

Then, of course, there would be only Ruru and E9, but Ruru started to worry for some reason.

The reason is that Enine, who is still a hero, is still in a state before awakening.

Awakening… A stage that a warrior must go through.

It is said that after going through that awakening, a hero becomes stronger than anyone else, but until he goes through that awakening, a hero is no different from an ordinary person.

Of course, from the standpoint of being a hero, you should be stronger than normal people.

The hero before awakening is still weak compared to the other 3 party members.

As usual, I would have helped to assist Enine.

Now, thinking that Lulu would be by her side to protect her, she must have suffered a lot, so she was a little relieved.

Besides, by now, the warrior party is in charge of defending the city, Kerorain, in preparation for the attack of the Four Heavenly Kings.

In the absence of me and Laniri, the only power I had was Lulu. Excluding the helpless E9in, the sheer suffering is Lulu’s share.

“But anyway, Lulu will do well.”

However, I shook off those worries.

Luru’s fighting skills are genuine. She is skilled enough to multi-cast her high-powered magic. Her melee combat is a bit weak, but in firefights she turns the other way. Moreover, when it comes to firepower battles, she is strong enough to not be defeated by the Four Heavenly Kings alone.

A little worried, but nothing to worry about.

If there is Ruru, even her Cara Rain can easily be stopped.

“Dogram…! Bye! Bye!? Can I eat duck meat too?”

But…

But why is Lulu here???

@

Caralane is famous for its tall walls.

As the military strategic point of the empire, it is a key area to block the army of the Demon King.

Of course, such a core area is one of the places where the warrior party has the most support.

And the quarters of the warrior party in Carraine.

It was a neat and well-organized accommodation for the warriors’ party, and there are quite a few rooms, but now only one of the warriors’ rooms is used.

What should I do?

Late at night, in Carraine, in the hero’s room, there was a hero who was restless.

Now she couldn’t help but close her eyes and fear the next day to come.

Because there was no one at her party right now but her.

No, why did you leave all the way to Lulu…

Now, the warrior party is in charge of defending the city of Carraine.

A state in which the Four Heavenly Kings lead an army on the outskirts of the city.

In such a state, when originally blocking that army, the sage Lulu or the swordsman Dogram would have taken care of everything.

But they are gone now.

So now E9 couldn’t help but tremble with anxiety.

I have to stop it alone, but I can’t stop it alone.

I’m still out of power…

E9 is definitely a hero. However, he is still not a perfect warrior.

Obviously, Enain was chosen as a hero, but she has not yet awakened her power.

If you become a complete hero, you can be stronger than anyone else in your party, but at a stage where you haven’t done that yet, Enain is so weak that it would be rude to compare him to other party members.

Of course, since she practiced swordsmanship to some extent, she may have the strength of a normal knight, but compared to the party members who literally wipe out enemies with magic and skills, she is insignificant now.

How on earth do you protect Carraine…

As a hero, she must protect Carraine.

Only alone. To stop the Demon King’s army.

This is the first time she has ever defended something by herself.

I’m going crazy…

She tried to come up with a way somehow during the short night. She somehow finds a way out of this situation….

However, I couldn’t come up with any other method.

It was terrifying that the next day would come like that, but time just flew by.

“Lulu. But why are you here?”

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed to see Lulu stealing and eating my duck meat.

How is the warrior party eating duck meat like this?

“That’s right. I also came out of the warrior party.”

And as if my answer was no big deal, Lulu swallowed a handful of duck meat and replied deftly.

“What? Why all of a sudden?”

I asked Lulu one after another.

Why is Lulu appearing all of a sudden?

“It’s just that I always thought I didn’t fit in. And just as Dogram said you were leaving, I came out.”

And Lulu answered my question again as if it was nothing special.

“Hmm…”

From noble mtl dot com.

Lulu is coming out of the party…

I knew that one day Lulu would go to a party, but…

In fact, even Lulu knew that she hated warrior parties.

Should I say that my personality doesn’t suit me? Anyway, I had a strong feeling of being bothered by the same feeling.

However, Lulu said she was trying to stay in the party somehow.

As if there are things you can’t see unless you’re at a party.

I knew it would come out, but I was honestly a bit surprised that such a Lulu would suddenly come out of a party.

Can I leave the party so suddenly?

I wanted to ask.

I don’t think I’m qualified to say such a thing from the standpoint of leaving a party.

“Anyway, duck meat is so delicious. You don’t know how much I wanted to eat duck meat here.”

Just as I have my life, so will she have hers.

I didn’t want to interfere like an old man.

“But then E9 is the only warrior in the party?”

Well, Lulu must have an idea.

But… If this is the case, wouldn’t E9 be left alone in Carraine?

Anyway, when it came to Lulu, I started to worry about Carraine in the city.

Once again, the hero is in a state before awakening and is in a very weak state.

And the warrior party is in a position to protect Carraine, so it becomes a story that the weak E9 alone protects Carraine.

“Yes!”

Isn’t this a very dangerous condition?

“Laniri is still in the Central Cathedral?”

“Yeah!!!”

If she’s alone like that, she’s in a bit of a dangerous state…

So I wondered if Laniri had returned, but it didn’t seem like that.

“Lulu. Isn’t this a big deal? I don’t think E9 can protect Carraine by herself…”

I implied my concern to Lulu.

“It’s okay.”

And to my question, Lulu answered lively. It’s okay.

“Why? Is there a reason?”

Are you really okay?

“I saw it in a book, and a hero originally fought alone!!! So it’s probably okay.”

When I expressed my concern, Lulu showed a bright expression, as if telling me not to worry at all.

“Enine is a warrior. Let us trust him.”

Can I trust you…?
