Return of the Former Hero Chapter 9

9. Former hero・obtains new memories

“I am Amagi・Haruto. That person is called Sharon.
Sharon, Come here, it’s okay already.”

I gave my greetings to the refres.h.i.+ng young man named Leon, and calls Sharon.

“Well, err… I’m Sharon.
Thank you? very much.”
“I’m called Leon・Van・Lowell. Are you injured?”

Sharon who came back exchanged greetings with Leon.
There is a little doubt in Sharon’s thanks, was it because of the intrusion just before I defeated it?

Speaking of injuries, I wonder if her underwear was changed?
There are no change of clothes, and no such margin, is it as it is?

Unintentionally, I glance frequently at her thighs.
Regrettable, regrettable.
It isn’t a joke if I am exposed.

When I was thinking of that, even more people came over.

“Leon! Are you alright!?”

Similar to Leon but wearing a comparatively heavier armor, is a young man with silver hair.
An Ikemen again.

Wait, what happen?
Sharon-chan from our house is unable to choose.

“It’s all right, Yunikram.
There is no longer any danger.”

Leon answers.

“Really, to suddenly start running.
I’d say to refrain from independent action.
……and the reason, is this?”

The man called Yunikram looks towards the now burnt goblin nearby.

“Yes, I felt the flow of terrible magic.
Did Yunikram not notice?”
“……No, for me…… It was 3 km from there to here. As expected of Leon.”

Sharon and me are left behind.

“Yunikram. These 2 are Mr.Amagi・Haruto and Ms. Sharon.
In addition, they are troubled by such a thing happening.
I intend to escort these 2 to town.”
“Is that so. How about it?
My other companions are on the highway outside the forest too.
Would you come together?”

The ikemen are somehow pus.h.i.+ng forward the talk forcefully together.

“Um……”

Sharon is troubled with the judgment and glance at me frequently.
I mean, even if the other party does not know it,
it’s pitiful to be escorted by ikemen to go to town while being incontinent.

“We are thankful for your consideration, but because we still have things to do.”
“However, it will be dangerous if you are attacked by such a demon again.
It would be better to return to town for now.”

Although I declined it gently, Leon clings on.
Given that the words spoken are only out of good intention, I ponder over a reason.

“Leon. These 2 people have their own circ.u.mstances too.
In addition, such a thing does not happen very often.”

Yunikram comes to the rescue.
He’s a man who can read the mood.

“…… Is that so. Excuse me.
Then we shall make a move.
However, I would like to listen to the story afterwards……?”
“We are adventurers from Torres.
This incident will be reported to the guild.”
“I see. Then, please be sufficiently careful.”

Leon says so refres.h.i.+ngly and returned on the path he came from with Yunikram.

“Fuu…….And, err, that, how do I say it.
Sharon, did you bring a change of clothes?”

I ask after confirming that the figures of the 2 person has disappeared.
Although it is the most embarra.s.sing thing for me to say too, it will be difficult for Sharon to say it.

“Huh?……Ah!……T, that,……d,didn’t bring……”

Sharon who understood the meaning of the question answers with her face bright red.
The last part was so soft that I could hardly catch it.
Well, the underwear wasn’t brought.
Nevertheless, although I also leaked during my first goblin hunting,
the positions are changed and now, I certainly do not think that I will leak again when facing the situation.

“Is,. is that so……Then first of all, it would good to wipe dry with this”

I picked up the towel that has fallen nearby and pa.s.s it over after wetting it with water magic.

“Wa, amazing. Haruto, you can use such magic too huh.
……Eh? But just now, you did not chant right?
……That reminds me, when fighting against that goblin too, it was chant-less magic……?”
“Hmm? Ah, I practiced”
“If I practice magic, I can invoke it without chanting? That’s great.”
“Come now. Leaving that aside, quickly wipe.”
“Aa! U, Un…… Haruto, you mustn’t look this way alright?”

Recalling the current situation, and blus.h.i.+ng again, Sharon headed towards the shadows of the trees hurriedly.
Being the gentleman that I am, I do not send my line of sight over there.
However, the sound can’t be help………… I’m telling you it can’t be helped.
Shurushuru and yet a faint sound from the rustling of clothes, then I hear the sound of something being wiped by the towel.

An unforgettable memory was made.

Sharon returns in a few minutes.

“Kept you waiting! I’m sorry. Thank you for helping me.”
“Ah. To be surrounded by those fellows in that state, it must be embarra.s.sing to return to the town.”
“he?……Th, That’s not it! It’s the matter of the goblin!”
“Eh? Ahh, Th, That’s, Sorry Sorry!”
“Mouu! Haruto is eechi!” (a pervert/lecherous)

I have made a stupid mistake when only thinking about the leaking incident.
However, Haruto is eechi! huh.
There are no better words as a reward.

“Then, let’s return to town for the time being.
I must report it to the guild.”
“You’re right……Hey, that goblin awhile ago?
That, what could it be?”

With a proposal of starting again, Sharon follows too.

That goblin, honestly, what could it be?
Monster becomes huge over a long time, and there are incidents that they are able to obtain tremendous power.
The existence that is commonly called a goblin king.
However, from that place where nothing exist a little while ago, I have not heard an occurrence of that suddenly springing out.

When talking about the phenomenon I know, a necromancer has to pours magic into the bones lying around by the roadside.
Then undeads are born from the bones.

“I do not understand.This is the first time for this sort of thing.”

While saying so, I tried to cut off the goblin’s ear roughly.
The ear of a goblin is proof of an orthodox subjugation.

However, there were no ears on the goblin.

Oh?
Did it vanish by the explosion of Leon’s magic?

No, the place where there should be an ear is missing too neatly.

Just like it was cut off later.

I confirm my surroundings.

There are no corpse of a goblin.
Not the goblin with the huge body, the normal goblin Sharon has defeated.
Even if I use search, there seemed to be no corpse in the surrounding.

……。

What is this situation?
There was nothing in the vicinity that time too…….should be.
No, however, if I use magic that can elude the flow of magical power, it may be possible to not be found by search.
In addition, an apparition powerful to that extent with that degree of magical power……

Once more, I check my surroundings.

Not only by search, but also concentrating all my nerves to see, but there doesn’t seem to be something either.

Has it left this place already, or did nothing different from my imagination occur to begin with?

“Haruto! What are you doing? Let’s return quickly!”

Sharon calls out to me.

It’s no use even if I worry about the things I do not understand.
Anyway, I’ll digest the things in front of my eyes in sequence.

“Sorry, I’m coming.”

I chased after Sharon and hurried on the way to town.
