Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 19: Lament (Part 2)
"Why……"
"Hmm? What why?"
"Why are you here..."
"Do you even need to ask? Because I am your bodyguard. No matter how much you hate me, I will never abandon my duties. Is it so difficult for you to understand that a bodyguard is waiting at the door to protect a target? Or do you actually have no concept of self-protection?"
"How could it be——"
How is it possible to hate you?
Looking at that radiant face, Vanilla subconsciously wanted to say something like this, but suddenly she became alert and swallowed the words that came out of her mouth.
I always feel that what I said will have a fatal impact, as if two malicious people are watching me. No matter good intentions or bad intentions, it will bring disaster. I didn't feel this sense of danger just now, but now I have this clear feeling. Is it because I don't have much contact?
Vanilla has always been a woman who believes in her instincts. She also rushed to this event based on her instincts. Although she knew nothing about idols at the beginning, she made the right moves based on her instincts and got to where she is now. So the girl decided to stop her extreme behavior for the time being, looked around, and then looked at the figure in front of her who was not much taller than her - maybe even a little shorter - and nodded.
"Then let's go now. You should know where here is suitable for defense, right?"
"I don't know."
The figure in the white robe smiled:
"But I am sure that under my protection, no one can kill you unless they are demigods. And if they are demigods, I will turn around and kill them."
“…”
No, I can’t watch it. If I continue, it will be over.
Forced to turn her head to the other side, the girl took a deep breath, sorted out her emotions, and walked to the front to lead the way for her bodyguards.
The figure in the white robe was not angry either, he just walked calmly beside the girl with a faint smile. The two of them walked in the company. There were obviously many more conspicuous combinations, but their eyes would occasionally shine through. The heavy weight revealed in their eyes even made the girl feel like she was suffocating.
It would seem impolite to say nothing more. The girl always felt something was wrong with the increasingly harsh and even accusing gazes around her. She was obviously the idol, right? How could she use her eyes to signal the idol to let the bodyguard beside her speak? However, after thinking about it, Vanilla looked at the figure who was walking a little faster and following her closely, and said:
"Come to think of it, Senior, you are really beautiful."
"……pretty?"
The figure walking beside him paused slightly and revealed a strange expression.
"Hmm? This is the first time you've said this to me in this game . This is the first time I've received such unbiased praise. Thank you."
"How could that be? Your face would be praised at a glance, right?"
After all, it is a look that goes far beyond reason.
Looking at the figure walking beside her, the girl felt more and more inferior.
There is a light and warm fragrance on his body, and both his eyelashes and lips are extremely charming regardless of gender. The more you walk side by side, the more you can feel your own shortcomings, and then you will have some aggressive anger and resentment, or want to rely on him forever.
Why is there such a person? Why does such a person exist in this world? The more I looked at him, the more I felt the incredibleness of the universe. With such a perfect template, why do we need other humans? To be embellished? However, compared to the girl's hasty resentment, the so-called bodyguard actually lowered his head and pondered. His thoughtful look attracted the attention of others, but no one came forward to ask questions.
"…Really? I don't think so."
The noble man walking beside her thought for a moment and shrugged at the girl.
"When I go to other places to do missions, they usually want to kill me, and it feels like they won't stop until I'm dead. I don't think I've done anything wrong, but it always leads to some bad consequences. So my nickname and position are usually derived from this."
"What title? And why would anyone want to do that to you?"
"The Purifier... No, they have become the Pioneers of Holy Light. But they are really powerful people. Demigods, thousand-year-old monsters with strong will, corrupt gods and so on. It seems that no one really cares about my appearance, but is interested in my power. So I quite like them. They are really a group of burning people. There is no confusion or despair, just moving forward for their own ideas, which is good."
I just like games like this.
He added another sentence, but what does the game mean?
Maybe for this kind of chosen human, all battles and all actions are just a game. Vanilla decided to understand his statement herself, but for the battle part, she wanted to put forward an absolute counterargument .
"How could that be? Normally, if someone sees you like this, they would definitely feel pity and not attack you at first, right? I can't think of any other situation where someone would attack someone like you. How is that possible? That kind of thing can't happen. Anyone who attacks you is definitely not a normal person."
"Well... let's put it this way, what do you think is the cruelest punishment in the world?"
"Eh? Um, let him die of starvation or thirst...? Isn't that too cruel?"
"You guys really don't know anything yet..."
This is a good thing.
For some reason, this person's eyes suddenly became gentle, as if he was looking at a cute little rabbit in a cage.
The girl didn't know what she had done to make him look like that, and she felt a little helpless. But in the girl's mind, starving or thirsting someone to death is the most harsh and vicious act, right? Is there anything more vicious than this?
No more, right? No matter how hard she thought about it, there was no more. Although sometimes she would see some bloody and hurtful things, most of them were just for artistic processing. Although the girl had thought about really making people suffer and beating, directly torturing and killing someone was a bit beyond the bottom line of the girl's imagination. For her, letting a person starve to death or die of thirst was already the maximum punishment, and there was nothing more cruel than this.
"…Forget it, let's each work hard in each other's positions."
Get along well, idol.
Thank you for your hard work on the cultural front. Let me take care of the fighting.
Under Vanilla's incredulous gaze, the poisonous being of unknown gender turned around, revealed a gentle smile and stretched out his hand.
"oh oh……"
Although she didn't know what was going on, the girl still stretched out her hand blankly and shook it.
