The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! - Chapter 281

Serena’s POV

Well, the Church is taking care of Date’s plans, but figuring out what to do is important. So, let’s see…

“Uncle Bauer”

“Serena? How can you easily get in here… Even Ceres can’t do that.”

Uncle Bauer always says this, right?

But for some reason, I manage to arrive in an instant every time… I wonder why?

“Instead of that, I want to know about date’s approach.”

They say even the wisdom of the Netherworld Dragon is amazing, so it should be alright.

“I don’t know. Dragons hardly speak of such things! Maybe you should ask Zect?”

“I see, I’ll do that!”

“And naturally, as if it’s routine, entering even the Netherworld, Dragon Lord Zect handles difficult tasks with ease… quite irregular.”

“Is something bothering you, Uncle Bauer?”

“Nothing, just go.”

“Okay.”

Since time was short, I immediately went to meet Zect-oniichan.

Zect’s POV

“Zect-oniichan”

“Oh, isn’t it Serena? What’s up?”

“Um, I wanted to know how to act during Date’s time.”

“Date? Well, not many are as popular as me… the right way to act, let’s see… Oh yeah.”

I was popular, but did I ever actually have a proper date? I used to play with my childhood friends, Luna and the others, but that was just kid stuff.

After becoming the Hero… I stopped showing affection in public because it’s not good to be seen. So, I haven’t really been on dates.

And my relationship with Luna is somewhat like parent and child… with Marin too… So, I barely have any date experience.

I was popular, but did I ever really go on a serious date?

This is troublesome.

Being the Hero, I would have been popular even if I did nothing.

The reason I was popular… it’s because I’m the Hero.

“So, what kind of Date are you planning, Serena?”

But first, I’d rather not have those sparkling eyes looking at me so I ask him.

This kid seems to genuinely respect me… he’s like my best friend next to Ceres…

“Well, I’m not quite sure myself… that’s why I left it to the Church.”

“I see, just wait a moment.”

I actually brought this along when I came here, didn’t I?

I think it was around here… ah, there it is.

My old partner, the Holy Sword Deolf.

This place is peaceful, and I won’t be able to carry it over in my next life. The Holy Sword chooses its wielder, and it’s infused with both Ceres’ and the Goddess’ blood.

It’s impossible to reject.

“Serena, try holding this sword for a moment.”

“What’s special about this sword?”

“Well, well, just give it a try.”

“Alright… whoa! It suddenly started glowing.”

What’s this? It’s even brighter than when I had it…

Oh well.

“This is my partner, the Holy Sword Deolf! If you show this sword and say, ‘I am the rightful successor of Hero Zect, and I wield this sword,’ you’ll be instantly popular! After that, you can leave it to the Church… a significant number of people love the Hero, so unless you do something incredibly foolish, they’ll like you.”

“Can I really have this sword?”

He’s all excited… as expected of a boy, they like this sort of thing.

Well, probably, if things go as they used to, the ‘Hero Absolutists’ will be around, and with this, he’ll successfully execute the date even at great risk.

Yes, reassuring.

“Yeah, it’s my cherished sword, but go for it! Serena can even shoot light wings, so being a ‘Hero’ will definitely work! As the last Hero, I acknowledge you… so, do your best.”

“And Zect-oniichan, about the Date…”

“Don’t worry! The Church will manage somehow, leaving it to them is fine… just give it your best.”

They might be a bit odd, but they really love ‘heroes’ and ‘Hero,’ so it’s bound to go well.

“Thank you, Zect-oniichan.”

Haha, speaking of which, we’re like brothers, aren’t we?

Brotherhood is truly wonderful.

“Sure thing, give it your all.”

So, Serena is going on a date… well, he’s quite handsome and has that kindness from Ceres, so he won’t fail even without much effort…
