Inside An Ad**t Game As A Former Hero - Inside An Adult Game As A Former Hero chapter 183

A manpower has arrived to move the body of the Platinum Knights from the Empire. The body was placed in a coffin and transported in an incomplete state.

The funeral was grand.

The whole empire mourned their deaths, as if proving that the phrase pride of the empire was not a joke.

After the funeral, which took about a week, the emperor immediately congratulated the warriors. It was to reverse the gloomy atmosphere of the empire.

On a podium that is five times the height of a normal person.

Me and Frylite were kneeling in front of the Emperor.

The emperor spoke with a solemn voice to me, Frillite, and the public.

“For the past decade without a hero, we had to be swayed by the fear of demons who never knew when they would appear. But now it’s been a long time since then! The young warriors became great warriors and punished evil.”

The emperor’s voice grows louder.

“These two champions condemned the Lich, a traitor who dared not belong to the cycle. He expelled the succubus, a terrible monster that took away the spirits of innocent men. This is a big ball that no one can deny. Jim wants to reward him according to the ball!”

– Wow!

-Long live Your Majesty!

– Long live the warrior!

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the public, the emperor recited what he would bestow with a prize.

“sorry.”

As soon as she came down from the podium, Frylite immediately apologized. I was puzzled because I didn’t understand English, so she explained the reason.

“You have to share the ball with me for defeating the lich and chasing the succubus queen. Even though it was all you did.”

“Oh, you did something. If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry about it. It’s because of the imperial prestige and political issues.”

Empires are one step ahead of other kingdoms in terms of military power and culture. A hero of such an empire loses his reputation to a pro or a hero of the kingdom who is the lowest among the kingdoms.

It should never happen to them.

“I’m just glad I didn’t dismiss the ball as nothing.”

“I’m not happy at all, but…”

Frilite said with a trembling. I don’t like it because it seems like they stole my ball.

I waved my hands.

“Anyway, it’s okay. It’s an award, and the titles and honors I’ve received are too much. I didn’t even need it in the first place.”

Even with that said, Frillite did not appear to be convinced. How can I get rid of his useless self-blame?

After contemplating, he opened his mouth.

“Well then, let’s go buy a drink or drink. Let’s have a drink together after a long time.”

Frylite’s eyes gleamed. She quickly smiled and nodded her head.

“I do.”

“I know of a good bar. If I could…”

“No, don’t go to the bar. Unlike a kingdom, the capital of an empire has a large population. Especially on a day like today, there will be a lot of people going to any bar. If the citizens even recognized us, it would be a nuisance.”

“That too. Then where do you drink?”

“What do you have to worry about? Just drink in the room given to you by the palace like before. let’s go to my room The room you got isn’t bad either, but unlike yours, which is a normal room, my room belongs to me. The facilities are a bit better.”

“Yeah, if that’s the case…”

Frilite left to bring drinks and I headed to her room. As I entered the room, I had no choice but to narrow my eyes.

“It’s a little bit better… but it’s not at the same level”

Furniture made of expensive materials or wall patterns that the engravers must have ripped off. In addition to that, the adamantadium covered with glowstone with a fire dragon point.

“How thinly the adamantadium is ground, the light is transmitted.”

Thanks to this, I can feel the soft atmosphere in the room, but I can’t erase the feeling that it’s excessive. Frilite doesn’t feel anything when she sees a room like this

‘Is this why you have to be born with a spoon?’

So tired of looking around the room, I lay down on the bed. After a while, someone called my name and shook my shoulder. When I opened my eyes, I saw Frilite’s pretty face. She was looking at me with a look of dissatisfaction.

“What if the person who offered to drink falls asleep before drinking?”

“I was sleeping”

“okay. I slept very hard. It makes me feel sorry for waking you up.”

is it my mistake

She looked a little sloppy.

‘It must be an illusion.’

Because she’s not the kind of woman who’d be pissed off that she slept a little while waiting. Actually, I apologized, so I immediately relaxed and said it was okay.

Me and Frilite sat facing each other with the table in the center. When I met her, I realized something.

“Did you change clothes?”

She was wearing a plain white shirt and leather pants, not the uniform she wore on the podium.

“It’s probably because the uniforms are too flashy and uncomfortable. I thought it was not suitable for a drinking party.”

The clothes look more uncomfortable to me.

I thought as I looked at the shirt and pants clinging to her body.

The inside of the shirt, which seemed to be worn one size smaller, made her big breasts stand out more, and the pair of tight pants revealed a wide pelvis and long legs.

‘Well… if you’re comfortable with it, you’ll be comfortable.’

Instead of questioning her attire, I held out a glass of wine. Red liquid flowed from a luxurious wine bottle and filled the glass. I tried to savor the scent like I would drink any fine wine, but instead of a subtle scent, the strong alcohol smell pierced my nose and frowned.

“what. Why is this so poisonous?”

She laughed in response to my murmuring.

“This wine has been aged for 100 years with Dragon Heart. It can only be poisonous.”

“The three generations would be destroyed if the dragon found out that some crazy pawn said that he had dipped alcohol with the heart of a dragon.”

“It is our grandfather.”

“He was an in-house commander who did not yield to external pressure. I have a wonderful grandfather.”

“okay. This is a drink left by that wonderful grandfather. Don’t leave a single drop behind.”

Frilite held out a glass full of wine. After bumping the glass with her, I drank the wine. gulp. Every time the wine went down my throat, I felt like I was drinking hot water.

Somehow, when I emptied the glass, I felt a ping and a spirit of alcohol came up.

‘…It’s poisonous, it’s terribly poisonous.’

I hope you will get drunk

I guess I’ll have to slow down the tempo of drinking differently than usual.

Thinking so, I shook my head.

I asked while looking at Frilite, who was slightly drunk just like me.

“So, are you done thinking?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Since that day, you haven’t spoken to me once. Then today you spoke first. It wasn’t because I had finished organizing my thoughts.”

“…were you paying attention?”

“Of course I don’t care. I know that I am being cut off and I know how heartbroken I am.”

“…sorry. It’s my fault.”

Frylite smiled bitterly. Even then, the smile soon disappeared, leaving only a bitter expression on his face.

“When I heard the news that Cloud’s party was disbanded and I met you again, I was relieved to see your carefree appearance. It is said that the legend has not been broken.”

The legend she was talking about was a story handed down from generation to generation on the continent where four heroes would defeat the Demon King.

“But it wasn’t. The legend was already broken when I met you.”

“Why are there still four heroes?”

Frylite shook her head.

“According to the legend, the hero must be entirely from the continent. dear Do you think of yourself as Cloud or do you consider this place your hometown?”

“no.”

replied without hesitation.

I am Han Jisoo, not Cloud. Even if they wear the cloud’s shell, their identity does not change.

So, of course, this continent is not my hometown.

My hometown is Earth.

In response to my answer, Frilite nodded as if she knew that.

“Literally, you are not from the continent. So the legend has already been broken a long time ago. I have failed to keep my oath to preserve the legend.”

“It’s irresistible. If you can’t watch everything in the world, how can you prevent someone from committing suicide?”

“That is not an excuse for not keeping the oath.”

“…So, I was powerless because of the shame that I couldn’t keep my oath.”

“There is no such thing. But that’s not all.”

She put her chin on her palm and looked down.

“It was embarrassing.”

She poured the wine and drank it alone. With a slightly reddened face, he continued as if lamenting.

“I saw your past in a dream. subordinates, friends, colleagues, even loved ones. you have lost a lot It was a frustrating situation, and in fact you were frustrated. But in the end I chose to go. Even if he burned his despair and anger with firewood, he somehow moved forward. On the other hand, what about me?”

She washed her face dry with both hands. Her expression darkened as her palms ran through the hair in front of her.

“I hesitated and doubted. Because I didn’t know if the way I was going was right. I was afraid. Because the path I have chosen may be stained with the blood of my allies.”

“…”

“Even if it were only a handful of what I lost compared to the loss you went through.”

Another glass of wine disappears into her mouth.

“I used to think that I was stronger than others. But in reality it wasn’t. I am ordinary I just pretended to be strong as needed. I realized it this time.”

Is it because I’m completely drunk?

Her hands trembled as she poured the wine. She gulped the wine that was barely poured into the glass.

thud. She lowered her glass.

Wiping the wine dripping from his lips with the back of his hand, he looked at me with slightly opened eyes.

“cloud. Don’t be honest. During the days without you, I took on various tasks and said I was fine. It’s something I’ve always done, so it’s okay. That’s a lie. it was terribly difficult I thought I had a perfect plan, but it was especially hard to bear when an ally died due to a sudden variable. It’s really rare, but there have been times when I’ve been lucky.”

The figure of Frillite crying alone in a room where there is no one to hear.

It wasn’t hard to imagine.

Because I’ve seen her tears before.

“You know what I was thinking and holding on every time that happened.”

“…what were you thinking?”

Frilite poured wine into my glass. Even in her own cup. She held out a glass full of wine.

That was the answer.

So did I, because she held out the glass without a word. After smashing the glasses, we took a sip of the wine. After emptying the wine, she put down the glass.

“…from a certain moment, this position has meant a lot to me.”

she got up from her seat.

I looked to see what she was doing, and she was walking towards the door.

Are you trying to bring a new drink?

‘It would be better for me to bring it than a drunken frillite.’

It was time to wake up with that thought.

click.

Metal sounds in my ears.

I looked to see what the noise was, and it was the sound of Frilite locking the door.

“Why is the frillite door locked?”

This time, Frylite did not answer. It just staggers and comes towards me. The steps were so precarious that I approached her with the intention of supporting her.

But something unexpected happened.

As soon as I approached, she threw herself into my arms. I couldn’t avoid it, so I took her into my arms. She said with her head buried in my arms.

“Maybe that’s why… The day you saved me and defeated Lich. When you said that you would bear my responsibilities together, I was very happy. I felt an indescribable joy to know that you were the one who said that.”

She pushed me slowly. The pushing force was stronger than I thought, so I was pushed back slowly.

“I wondered why I was so happy. It didn’t last long.”

chin. My legs hit the bed.

“cloud.”

She didn’t stop pushing. Eventually I fell on the bed and she got on top of me. She said softly stroking my cheek.

“I guess I love you.”

Frylite’s hand rested on the back of my head and slowly pulled my head towards her. What would happen later was obvious. So I had no choice but to stop her urgently.

Because there was something she needed to know.

His red eyes, clouded by drunkenness, were dyed with suspicion.

I looked straight into those eyes.

“Frilite, there is something you need to know.”

“What I need to know… Ah… It’s okay if I’m talking about the past women’s history. You said that you would bear my responsibilities together. If so, shouldn’t I have to do the same? I will understand your pain and try to heal it. I also understand the wandering you went through-”

“That’s not it.”

“No”

Frilite tilted her head as if it was this or what.

I said to her.

“I’m dating someone.”

“…What”

“I’m dating a girl.”

“…”

Her eyes, which had been clouded by drunkenness, returned. The eyes that returned were infinitely cold. I knew those cold eyes well. It’s the gaze she sent to the ‘enemy’.
