The World After Leaving the Hero Party

84 – Defense – 2

As I had been through enough of a mental illness to the extent that I would suffer from it, and the number of abnormal conditions I suffered in the process, I knew what the current situation of Leventia and Evangeline was.

And, of course, I know the cure.

However, it was impossible to treat them right now, so I had no choice but to take the two of them out.

“Let’s go.”

“Ugh… oppa…”

“Ah… Whew…!”

Leventia, clinging to me like a child and flirting, and Evangeline, who flinched even more as soon as I held her hand.

As soon as I brought the two out, the shimmering disappeared and a path was created to pass.

“Leventia!! Evangeline!!”

With a roar of rage, Veronica, who was sitting there, charged. She distorted her pretty face and immediately threw a fist with her holy power.

No, I was going to blow it up.

“Uhhhh! !!”

As soon as she sees Veronica running to her, Leventia turns white and sits down on the floor, crying out for the world to pass away.

and.

“I. Naal… Kill me… Ha ha…”

Evangeline muttered with a hazy face before smirking at Veronica.

Both are not normal.

“…What is it? Why, why are you like this?”

It was only then that Veronica seemed to confirm the condition of the two.

She looked at Leventia and Evangeline alternately with her eyes wide open, then turned her gaze to me, and I shrugged.

“You can see it.”

“Are you mentally ill?”

“I can see that.”

“Huh ahhhh! Oh ahhhh!

Leventia, who had been crying profusely while sitting on the floor, crawled onto the floor and hugged my leg tightly. Unlike Leventia, Evangeline fell from our side and muttered on her knees with a face full of humiliation.

“Huh. Heh… I, I… I…”

Seeing the two of them, Veronica gnashed her teeth and raised her fist.

I held her hand.

If these two are mentally ill, there is no point in doing anything now.

If so, Veronica’s punching was nothing but a waste of stamina.

“And is it okay for the priest to beat the sick?”

“God said. If you’re guilty, just give it away. Take it twice.”

“He’s a bloody god.”

Cecile, who had been watching from behind, approached with a bitter smile. First of all, I calmed down and removed the Leventia that was clinging to me, looked at her, and said briefly.

“…Leventiane of old.”

“Once upon a time.”

“As far as I know, he was such a weak guy. He liked dolls more than swords…”

“okay?”

“He dreamed of becoming a knight… his father. I mean. It wasn’t until my uncle passed away.”

According to the story, Leventia respected and followed her father who was an excellent knight, so she hoped to become a great knight after his death.

If such Leventia had regressed to the form she had before she dreamed of becoming a knight, there would be nothing strange about her tearful appearance.

“And he…”

“hahaha…”

Breathing heavily, Evangeline bit her lip. Her face is red, and her body continues to flinch.

Her eyes are me and Leventia. And to Cecil.

His eyes widened and he was staring at them quickly, and his breathing was getting rougher.

“…what condition is that again?”

It seems that even Cecile was unaware of Evangeline’s condition.

Well, it’s a mental illness that only a few elves suffer from, so it’s not surprising.

“That’s what happens when an elf’s self-deprecation reaches its limit.”

It was like that in the game too.

Of course, we need to make an accurate diagnosis, but looking at it now, Evangeline is a mental illness that occurs when self-abasement becomes severe.

There was a high possibility that he was caught in a ‘defeatist’.

There seems to be… a strange wall.

“For now, both of them will be incapable of combat.”

“Sure… I guess.”

Not to mention Leventia, who had regressed as an infant, and even Evangeline wouldn’t be able to fight.

If you’re in a defeatist state, all attacks fail.

No, there will be nothing that can succeed apart from that.

That’s why you can’t take on the challenge.

Cecil seemed quite surprised by Evangeline’s change.

That’s also true, because the elves in the world are basically proud and won’t show themselves like that.

However, it was natural for such people to fall endlessly when they fell, so there was nothing strange about it.

I looked at Evangeline, who was only looking this way, smirking in a corner, and when our eyes met, she hurriedly lowered her head.

“Ah. aaa! Really!”

Seeing the two of them like that, Veronica looked at me as if she was unfair. Then he stamped his feet and started punching the air several times. It’s cute when he’s angry, but it was obvious that this would cause him to build up stress and get into trouble.

“oh…?!”

So I grabbed Veronica and pulled her into a hug.

An easy way to relieve stress is skinship with a close person.

Why are you saying this? It is said that just hugging and soothing a person who is depressed often reduces the feeling of depression.

I hugged Veronica and patted her on the back, as if I could use it when the affinity between colleagues was above a certain level.

“Because I’m fine. Huh? Don’t be angry.”

Veronica, who was clenching her fists, finally hugged me. After a while, Veronica calmed down and leaned her face against my chest.

“…Hug me a little tighter.”

He speaks softly in a low voice. There was no reason not to, so I hugged her tightly.

“Ssss…! Tell me it’s okay.”

“it’s okay.”

“Call my name…”

“Veronica. I’m fine. So. Huh?”

“…Huh…”

Veronica’s body felt a little heavy with the sound of her breathing. Would you rather lean on me? I stroked her long hair. How long have you been like that? I let Veronica go only after her breathing had completely stabilized.

“…… Whoa.”

“Now. Shall we continue?”

“Okay. Then what are they going to do?”

“What should I do? Since it’s a retirement, I’ll leave it here.”

I pointed to Leventia, who was sniffing, and Evangeline, who looked up and looked at Veronica and flinched.

They said Leventia and Evangeline were missing, but there was no particular problem.

The important thing in this event was me and Veronica, and the two of us had planned to come from the beginning.

The problem was that they both got worse when they left, but that wasn’t a problem either.

“slip.”

It was because the status ailment was resolved with a single magic spell.

Cecil, too. You have the qualities of a great wizard!

“But is this going to work? Still, the name belonged to the warrior’s party… I wonder if it will be resolved soon because of the resistance.”

“That resistance is only valid when you’re sane. Come on. Then, you guys should protect them here.”

“How long do you think it will take?”

“Well. It won’t take that long, will it?”

“Are you fighting the devil?”

“There’s a great cardinal here, what are you worried about? Let’s trust Veronica and go.”

“Ugh, yes! Trust me! I’ll do everything for you!”

I raised my hand towards Veronica, who had been kinder to me from earlier, well, even though she had always been like that. High touch as it is.

Cecile, who had been watching us, sighed and gestured backwards. The Knights of the Principality seemed uneasy, but decided to wait as instructed, and only me, Veronica, and Cecil moved toward the next trial.

“By the way, wise man. Those two… what are you going to do?”

“What do you do?”

“No. What should I do with them…”

“I need to treat you.”

“uh?”

“uh?”

“uh?”

As if unexpectedly, Cecil and Veronica opened their eyes wide and looked at me. I was even more surprised by their reaction.

“Ah, no. Why? Hyeonu, you…?”

“Uh… is there any reason not to?”

Leventia and Evangeline become a great force on the battlefield.

How many monsters are these two killing?

Without the two of them, if the battle lines are pushed back, the chaos will accelerate and it will take a long time to get some achievements.

Wouldn’t it be better to just treat it?

“but!”

“Let’s put my personal feelings aside for now.”

“I can’t admit it. They suffer more…”

“Uh huh. Isn’t that what the priest is saying. Have you forgotten the doctrine of knowing mercy?”

“The Heretic Questioner is sensitive to sin.”

“There is a saying that only those who have not sinned should throw stones.”

“You are more like a priest than I am…”

“hahaha. That’s right.”

Sometimes I want to run wild without thinking about it, but what can I do? All of this is helpful for achievements.

I patted Veronica on the shoulder, and in the meantime we arrived at the next ordeal.

“Hmm… There are three patterns this time. Does that mean that up to three people can enter?”

“Uh. But I’d rather go through this ordeal alone.”

“Is the monster attacking like before?”

“Uh. But don’t worry, there’s only one coming out. The two of you should be able to catch it easily.”

Veronica It’s something you could catch on your own, but it would be easier with Cecil.

I said as I walked towards the shimmering, and Veronica looked at me while holding the mace and asked.

“But what about this ordeal?”

“The Trial of Temptation.”

It was an ordeal that most players cheered for.

The illustrations were just…

“…Wait a minute!”

Veronica’s expression hardened. She hurriedly ran over and grabbed me tightly before speaking very seriously.

“I’m really okay, right?”

“Trust me.”

Because this is nothing.

***

When Hyeonu entered, Veronica let out a heavy sigh.

Thinking about what had just happened made me feel sick to my stomach.

Leventia and Evangeline, who bullied Hyeonu so much.

I didn’t like it very much that I just collapsed from mental illness and ran away.

Hyeonu has gone through that a hundred times and is still going through it now.

Not long after he entered the trial, the surroundings began to be filled with magical energy.

Would any other place be ok?

Veronica bit her lip as she looked at the aisle they had passed through.

“Your expression is cool. That’s the face of a priest.”

“…Leave it alone. The Heretic Questioner is still fine.”

“Hmm. By the way, the sage… What a great person.”

“right?”

Even Veronica saw it. Even he suffered such a big blow when he came out after challenging the ordeal.

And just seeing Hyeonu’s past made me feel so uneasy.

But even though it was his own business, Hyeonu looks very fine.

Seriously, how did you get your nerves back?

“Anyway, I didn’t expect you to treat Leventia and Evangeline.”

“…Ha ha. I’m worried too. It’s because I’m so weak.”

“To be next to someone like that, you have to be someone with a very strong will, right?”

“right.”

“…….”

“……”

Silence follows.

There is no right story to tell.

In that awkward atmosphere, Cecile muttered softly as she looked into the darkness.

“By the way… that’s called the trial of temptation? Hmm… Temptation. What kind of temptation is it? A woman? Hmmm… What does a wise man like?”

Veronica thought for a moment before opening her mouth with a confident expression.

“…After hanging out with Hyeonu for a long time, Hyeonu likes girls with big breasts and big butt.”

Cecil looked at her ferocious chest for a moment, then turned her attention to her own, slender, attractive breasts that were clearly weak compared to Veronica’s.

Then, he managed to loosen his hardened face and smiled.

“How can you say that the sage, who is at his own pace, didn’t do anything with his own preferences aside? Isn’t the prerequisite wrong? For example… the sage likes people who are a bit slender. I’m not referring to it.”

Veronica and Cecil looked at each other with smiles on their lips.

But their eyes didn’t smile at all, and at the same time they thought the same thing.

this woman

I don’t like it.
