What the Hero Wanted Was Me

Episode 6

Episode 6.

Four days later, a banquet was held at the imperial castle as a sign of the emperor’s sincerity for the safe return of the hero. It seemed that even the emperor was bothered by the fact that he gave a reward at a low price.

“Oh, welcome guests~”

The madam of a high-end clothing store welcomed me when I entered the store.

Since she was a madam famous for her clothing in this area, she seemed not surprised that the warrior party had come, perhaps because she saw so many famous people.

“I would like to have four dresses custom-made for the banquet at the imperial castle.”

It was said that wizards were also attending that day, so a total of 4 suits were needed. If so, it required a tremendous work speed that took one day per suit, and as far as I know, he was the only person who could make this possible.

“Madame Helen, please.”

“Hmm..”

Madame Helen was someone I saw a few times as Princess Arya’s dress gun when I was working in the imperial castle, and she was familiar with me.

More important than that was that he was the one who owed me.

Helen was a character who did not exist in the original work.

She was one of those people who owed me her life, and she promised me that if I had anything to ask of her later, she would do it unconditionally. She never imagined that today would be the day she wrote the request.

“It’s too sudden, but… If it’s Lenny-sama’s request, I can’t help it”

She put her three fingers forward.

“I’ll cancel all the work I’m doing and make it within three days.”

They decided to accept my request even at the cost of the store. This was not her own detriment. The clothes worn by the warrior party. It was not a bad deal because it helped promote her shop.

“But you changed jobs?”

“Yeah, by chance…”

With that, the deal with Helen was sealed, and it was time for her to do some work for her warrior party.

Measure your size.

It was a time no one could avoid.

“Male, please wait elsewhere.”

It was regrettable that I couldn’t see that precious scene.

‘How do you measure a wizard’s size?’

It was a fact that Lenny did not know because he could not see the magically summoned wizard mannequin.

I was in the middle of thinking about the magician’s sizing while waiting for them to measure their size.

ㅡ jjallang

The door opened and a woman came in. The woman was familiar to her, a servant I knew well.

“Huh? Deacon Lenny!”

She recognized me and greeted her.

“Marie, long time no see.”

Marie. She was her attendant who took care of Princess Arya with me in the imperial castle.

It seems that she also came to this clothing store to see if there was a dress she ordered.

“What happened, butler! You disappeared without a word…”

Marie told me about the imperial castle where I was missing. Now, since I was her outsider, I shouldn’t have listened to the contents, but to her, it seemed that I was still Princess Arya’s butler.

“At first, the princess didn’t eat and stayed in her room, but one day she came out of nowhere! She started working while holding documents!”

When I was there, all the duties of the princess were taken up by me. She was in big trouble when she read her papers and went crazy under her stress, so she was all because I took care of it.

‘If that’s the case…’

It was an act that would not be understood if anyone saw it, but it was a life-and-death matter for me, so I eliminated all cases in which the princess could go crazy.

“These days, the atmosphere of the castle is again chaotic.. The princess is not the same as before..”

She didn’t pay attention to what Arya’s blood relatives in her imperial castle said, but recently, it was that she started quarreling.

As a result, her story about Princess Arya ended by saying that the atmosphere in the castle was as cold as ice.

‘This is a big deal..’

In her mind, she imagined Arya arguing with her boyfriend.

The appearance of Princess Arya who magically sprinkles water on her face at passers-by …

She had no idea. In my imagination, Arya would scream ‘stroke her hair!’ When she did something well.

Has she changed? She thinks she needs to see Arya, and she has a reason to go to the banquet.

While she was thinking about that, she and Helen began to come out of the room to see if they had finished measuring their size.

I asked Helen, leaving Sianna staring at the breasts of the hero and her saintess with her blushing face as if indignant.

“Is it possible to have one more male banquet suit?”

I planned to go to her banquet hall and see her aria in person.

“Human, you can go to a banquet hall only with an invitation. Don’t you know that?”

Siana, the elf, spoke harshly as if she knew that I, who worked in the imperial castle, would not even know such a thing.

“You can join alone or with a partner, right?”

Eren knew that she had read the invitation carefully.

“I knew..! I just asked..!”

It was a sight I never knew.

As Eren said, those who did not have an invitation could enter the banquet hall by entering with others.

There were a total of 4 invitations to the warrior’s party, and I was planning to enter as a partner of one of them.

“I don’t like human men. I won’t partner you.”

I was rejected by Siana before I even asked if it was my mistake to think that I scored with a nature-friendly look. I knew why I hated human men so much, so I couldn’t say anything.

“Do you want to go with me?”

What is left is the saintess and the hero. Among them, I was thinking of betting on the saintess.

“One gem. I’ll sell it for that.”

The saintess was a thorough give and take. If you want something, pay it. That was the mindset of the saintess.

‘Why are you so obsessed with jewelry?’

I knew that I grew up in the slums. So shouldn’t you be fond of money? It was a situation where I couldn’t understand her liking for jewelry.

I am working without pay and the money has to be used as a fund for escape, so the saintess’ partner was Pass.

Then all that remains is…

“I’m the only one left, sir.”

He was the toughest warrior.

‘It’s safe to assume that they’ve already been caught…’

Everything she did and how she spoke was something she did with the conviction that I was a teacher.

Knowing that, when she chose me as her partner, I was afraid and I did not know what she would ask.

What will Eren, who asked for me as a reward for defeating the demon king, ask for this time? Slave contract? Butler lifetime contract? Whatever it was, it was sure to be terrifying for me.

What will you say? It was the moment the warrior’s mouth opened.

“Please be my dance partner.”

‘Huh?’

The hero’s request was unexpectedly ordinary.

“Can I just do that?”

“Yes, if you do that, I won’t interfere in the banquet hall.”

For me, who was thinking of living as a slave to the hero without fail, this was great news. I was lucky to end up dancing.

The hero was looking at me with a smile on his face, wondering what made him feel so good.

Her crescent-shaped crimson eyes looked like spiders.

It had eyes like a spider waiting for its prey to come by hanging a bait on its web.

“…”

Syana’s suspicions as an elf grew deeper.

•••

Late dawn at night. It was the night before a banquet was held in the imperial castle.

‘Something suspicious.’

Shiana, who has been with the hero for a long time, sensed her strangeness in Eren.

‘What’s with that human man…?’

There was nothing special about the butler, Lenny, other than the mindset that he was a little more nature-friendly than the others.

Eren clings to such a human man with a smile? The man must have done something to Eren.

He chooses the first person he sees as the reward for defeating the demon king and behaves like that..?

‘The bad warlock guy…!’

I was playing with the spirit of my friend. Sure!

ㅡ A clap.

Shiana put her bow, her main weapon, on her shoulder and headed for Lenny’s room. It was to defend against him if he attacked.

‘This smell…’

It must have been. It was Eren’s scent, and it was the man’s scent as well.

‘Use of drugs… A bad person…’

Humans are unbelievable beings. Especially more for men. It was the moment when the hostility towards those who kidnapped and enslaved our fellow countrymen increased even more.

ㅡKikiiik..

Siana opened Lenny’s door and she peeked in.

“…!!”

Shiana covered her mouth with her hands when she almost screamed in her surprise and blinked her eyes in her surprise.

‘I was wrong…’

She mistook what she saw for hallucinations and looked into her room again, but she didn’t change.

“hehehe… You’re a teacher…”

It was a shocking scene. The hero buried his face in the butler’s chest and rubbed his face. She kept calling him ‘teacher’. It was thanks to the elf’s hearing that he could hear it despite the distance.

‘I thought wrong.’

Heroes were beings with superior mental power than others, and were immune to drugs or magic.

Dark magic for such a woman? She was far out of ideas.

Her bravery was to act according to her own will. Whatever she wants to Lenny.

‘Hey..! I… I didn’t see it.. Ah.. Nothing..!!’

Shiana denied her reality and rushed to her room. For some reason, her night was strangely long.

“hehehe…”

Because the nagging of her holy sword was so loud, it happened because of the complacency of the warrior who left the holy sword in her room.
