A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover - CH 188

Chapter 188 – The Passion of the Maidens Part 8

«Aaaaaaaaaaaah!»

My fist impacts against a monster. I am more powerful than ever, as are my senses, everything feels sharper.

The sensation of my opponent’s bones breaking was felt in every fiber of my body.

I will show no mercy. It’s what I have to do to keep the peace and protect all the people in this place.

After that blow, he fell to the ground and the impact rippled through the surroundings and shook the forest. He is surely dead.

«That’s it.»

«You look absolutely stunning today, nya～»

My partner, Lynn, applauds my victory.

«Well done, Ney-san.»

«You look more radiant today than ever.»

«Enough flattery, and pick up the Orc King.»

Flattery aside, I give orders to my team to clean up the mess.

«How did this happen?»

«I’m sorry. I got carried away.»

Back in my room, I buried my face on Lynn’s lap.

It’s my fault. I wasn’t aware of the errors of my ways. This is all getting partly out of control.

And at Lynn’s suggestion, we’ve decided to call our party ‘Manyu Brigade’, plus there have been endless things happening that have only made our name famous, and it’s also the one that prompted me to recruit many more people making this more of an army than just a party.

«But there’s no need to be pessimistic, Ney, we did what we could to survive, gain experience, level up, generate money, and now we have the biggest party ever, Nya. You should be happy.»

«You did all this! You’re the leader!»

«How dare you say that, nya! You’re the one who always gives the orders, nya.»

«It’s not true…»

As I was about to respond, Lynn patted me on the head. Umm, that’s right, Lynn said I’d be better as a leader…

Toru…

I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you.

It’s so hard here without you. Where are you, Toru? You said you were on this continent.

Come and get me. I’m here!

«What kind of grown woman pouts with her feet like that?»

«Let me go, I feel sick.»

«Why don’t you go look for him?»

«I’m a girl too. I want the person I love to come and get me.»

«Here we go again with the dreamy comments. What do you eat that gives you such flowery ideas? Vegetables? Is that what happens when you eat vegetables?»

She’s taking me for a fool.

I’m sure Toru will come for me.

He has always come for me. This time he’ll come for me too. I believe in him.

But come quickly. As soon as possible.

Quickly, quickly, quickly, quickly!!!!!!!!

«‘Excuse me, vice commander, I have something to tell you urgently.»

«It’s all right, you can come in..»

I got up from Lynn’s lap, and sat down on a chair while grimacing.

The person who knocked on the door came in, bowed, and began her report.

«I just received a summon from the palace.»

«What is it?»

«It’s a notice from two of our soldiers who are traveling in search of the information they requested.»

Lynn removed the envelope and pulled off the letterhead.

«What does it say?»

«…There is a country that has created a new title called» Manyu «on the eastern border. I’m heading to the site to confirm the veracity of the rumor.»

«I bet it’s Toru. Who else but Toru and his friends will receive such a stupid title like that, nya?»

«It’s not stupid. Toru is an amazing person, and very nice no matter what he does.»

We have sent two of our most trusted men to look for Toru, Kaede and Frau, we are getting closer and closer to finding them.

Of course, we are also searching for the rest of the missing girls. We are doing our best to succeed.

So far, we only have clues as to where Soara is. Because the rumors we hear are clearly about her.

Soon we will see each other’s faces again.

[Vajra Palace of the Hundred Fangs]

After passing through a huge gate and a large garden, I inwardly complained that I was still being made to walk, but I continued through the palace and came to a room where I found the person who had summoned me.

I came with Lynn and some subordinates.

«Oh, here you are, manyu brigade!»

«What can I do for you?»

«Don’t be in such a hurry. We have some nice buns. Have one.»

«……»

Said the ancient demon king ganza, who was prostrate on his throne.

He is a monster who reigns as ruler of this land. He is strong, has short hair of a white color and demon horns coming out of his head.

Some people placed four buns in front of us.

This is not another of His Majesty’s games. It is a spice roulette, only one of these buns is filled with something very spicy.

«Here.»

«I’ll take this one.»

«Let’s get this over with.»

I was the first to eat the bun… Um, sorry normal, I guess I got lucky.

«Huh?! Aaaah!»

And to my surprise, it was Lynn who hit the jackpot.

She covered her mouth and rolled on the floor.

Ganza started laughing out loud like a monkey after seeing Lynn’s reaction.

I have no idea what’s so funny. I wonder if the fact that he’s lived for so many years made his humor break.

«You’ve held up very well. You’re the leader of one of the top ten clans in the country.»

«As I said before, I’m only the vice commander.»

«Right… When will that man named Toru come? Even if he’s the real leader, he’s been gone too long. I’m waiting for him to come see me.»

«Please, I need you to wait a little longer.»

«It’s all right. I am a patient man. I’ll wait a hundred or two hundred years for him. But, it’s not fair for you to be the one to carry all this weight. Do you like being with a man who just loves to wander around that much?»

«Yes…»

I replied as I nervously looked away.

«Well, I have a job for you.»

As His Majesty spoke, the dignitary handed me a scroll. Inside were the details of the request.

The rewards were very high. It looks like we will be able to keep the party going for another month with extra income.

«The task is to destroy the Goblin King and his men. These goblins are cunning, so be careful not to lose any of your best men.»

«Understood.»

We bowed and left the room.

«This time, it’s a personal request from the king. The enemy is the Goblin King and his thousands of men, and if you’re not careful, you’ll end up on the other side. Make sure you get back alive.»

One hundred and thirty-five people in uniforms responded with a lot of momentum.

«All for our leader Toru-sama!»

A violent shout in unison echoed throughout the place.

All the soldiers present were devoted to Toru, a curious thing since they had yet to see him. But all this was not Lynn’s plan.

I remember she had told me to make up this farce so that we would have plenty of manpower, and be able to find Toru and the other girls.

Since then, I haven’t stopped working my way up to this level, with the help of my friends and my skills.

Well… I guess it’s time to dance.

The members who were standing up started playing some instruments.

«To all of you, I will return the experience you have bestowed upon me, plus a bonus! Receive it with much gratitude.».

‘Dance distribution’ is a rare skill that allows you to receive the experience of the people you dance with, and at the same time you can also give it back to them.

In this way, every day, I give back the experience I have acquired with my skills.

The fierce warriors here are the best of the best, who have left their shame behind.

As I distribute experience points, my level will decrease.

Lv: 66700 → 6700

But we are getting better and better.

This is good, because we are fighting as a whole, not as individuals.

After a moment, the music stopped, and everyone stared at me seriously.

Uggh, this is too embarrassing. I want to give up being a leader.
