v2c62.1 - Intermission 27 - Roland the Hero, freed from the Old Men
“I …… I’m finally here!”
“Master Roland! Congratulations!”
“Master Roland! Then I will perform a celebratory dance for you.”
The journey on foot surrounded by old men was…… to put it mildly, the worst.
If anything happens, the old men would gather under me, and even now, one of them is dancing a strange dance by himself …… Anyway, it was annoying, but I couldn’t kill them, so I just endured the journey.
But that’s all over now!
Because in the dusk, we have arrived at our destination, which is bigger and more prominent than the surrounding buildings and surrounded by a wall — the central temple or something.
The old men said they would only accompany me until we got to the central temple, and they promised to bring a woman into the party if we made it to the central temple.
Anyway, I kept thinking about how I was going to mess up the female knight, and that’s how I got here.
I will definitely impregnate that female knight!
Just as I’m thinking about that, Daniel, a Temple Knight, the one who made me surrounded by old men, opens his mouth.
“Mr. Roland. Thank you for your hard work. To be honest, I can’t say you got a perfect score, but it is true that you have completed my first training. I am sure that this experience will help in your growth.”
Shut up!
What training! What growth!
I didn’t wish for that!
Anyway, woman. Get these old men out of here and get me a woman!
“Daniel …… you remember our agreement!?”
“Now then …… what are you talking about?”
“You bastard!”
“Ha ha ha. I’m joking. You’re a Hero, so I’d like to see you have a sense of humor.”
This guy …… should I just kill him with these old guys?
The first thing Daniel did was to disperse the old men, so each of them scattered and went off somewhere.
“Master Roland, …… Good luck to you.”
The last one looked me in the eye and shook my hand as hard as he could.
I wonder if he was trying to pick a fight with me.
……Well, whatever. The last old man is gone, and my next stop is the bed with the female knight!
“Hey, Daniel. How far do you want me to go? We’ve been walking a lot since we entered the central temple, you know!?”
“I urge you not to panic. In this temple, there are all the facilities needed to raise a Hero: training halls, weapon shops, tool shops, inns, and everything else you could possibly need. Inevitably, it will inevitably be large.”
“Well, as long as you keep your word, I don’t care what it is …… Whoa! How about that girl over there!? I can only see her back, but she’s pretty cute, isn’t she!?”
“Mr. Roland. I guess you still need to redo your spiritual training ……”
“I-I’m just kidding, I’m kidding. A Hero needs to have a sense of humor, right?”
“What you said just now seems like your true feelings, though …… Whatever. Thank you for waiting. This is the room. In addition to Mr. Roland and myself, we have two other members of the party waiting for you.”
I don’t know how long he had been in touch with them, but it seems that Daniel had already arranged my party members.
That’s pretty good.
I just wish that both of them were women, but …… Now then, let’s see what the female knight looks like.
When I went into the room I was led to, I saw a man and a woman standing straight and firmly, just as Daniel had said they would be.
One was a man who was a greatsword user with a body like a gorilla. I am sure that instead of attacking with skill, as I do, this guy just attacks with force …… I think he would be better suited for an axe or hammer than a sword.
And the other one is a small, slender, dainty girl. Mm, nice! She is probably a wizard. Dressed in a light blue robe, she is a beautiful and protective girl.
Fufuh …… She must be about fifteen years old, just after being given a job.
It’s too bad she has no breasts, but her pretty, well-rounded face is my kind of girl with all my heart. I’m going to make this pretty, transparent girl my woman for sure!
(T/N: I can already guess what’s happening. Lol.)
“Mr. Roland. Let me introduce you. From now on, we will be working together as a party for a while, Hannah and Gordon.”
At Daniel’s words, the gorilla and the wizard bowed their heads silently.
From the name, Ms. Wizard is probably named Hannah, but …… is she nervous?
I don’t care about the gorilla, but I’d like to hear Hannah’s pretty voice.
So I stare at Hannah, thinking…
“U-Um …… I’ve only just been given a job …… but, I’ll do my best!”
Boku-girl! And, as expected, she has a cute voice!
I’m definitely going to dye Hannah with my color!
(T/N: Refers to himself/herself with Boku, instead of Watashi or Ore.)
“Since we’ll be a party from now on, does Mr. Roland have any requests?”
As I was being soothed by Hannah, Daniel asked me a question…
“Let’s see. I have only one request. I would like to stay in the same room with Hannah.”
“Mr. Roland. It seems you still need to have lot of spiritual training …… well, I guess it’s better than lusting after an orc mage.”
When I honestly expressed my opinion, I was told unnecessary things, but my request was easily granted.
I was thinking that maybe he is a guy who understands things, but …….
“Fufu …… I can’t believe he wants something like me. I’m looking forward to working with you tonight, darling.”
“No, what the hell are you talking about!? I’m talking about Hannah, though!”
“So, I’m Hannah. Now, let’s go to the inn first to deepen our friendship. I am ashamed to say that this is the first time in my nearly 30 years of living. Please take good care of me.”
The gorilla, taller than I am, carries me lightly on his back with one hand.
"

T-This guy …… is so powerful!
Her arms and legs are bigger than mine, but is she really a woman?
“W-Wait a minute! No! I’m wrong! I thought that Gordon over there was Hannah!”
“What!? Me!? I-I’m a guy, though.”
“W-What did you say!”
How can you be a man when you’re so thin and cute!
But compared to this gorilla, I think I can hold Gordon, who is a man who looks like a girl …… No, I’m normal!
“I’m not going to let you sleep tonight. Darling.”
