Chapter 13: Chapter 13-Late Hero
Before I knew it today was the day I would return to the village. I saw a lot of people standing in front of the manor gate, preparing for the upcoming battle.
The troops and adventurers here were only partially in the city because if everyone went to the village it would paralyze the defense of the city which would certainly be very dangerous.
I'm currently wearing armor under my shirt, and a dagger on my waist. In front of me, Celyne looks at the group nervously and turns her attention to me.
"Lute, are you going to be okay? I was so worried," Celyne looked at me with a very worried face.
"Don't worry Celyne, I'm pretty confident in my abilities," I replied to Celyne with a smile.
"H-how about I come with you too?" Celyne looked reluctant to leave me.
"That's not going to happen, you're too early to come along."
Celyne looked frustrated that what I said hit the mark.
"Okay, don't worry too much, I'll go now."
Saying that I hugged Celyne gently. Celyne also hugged me tightly. We hugged for a few minutes.
Braine saw us hugging in displeasure because Celyne didn't look worried about him at all.
After letting go of her embrace, Celyne went towards Braine and hugged him. Braine who was initially displeased now had a gentle expression.
"Father, I hope you will stay safe,"
"Don't worry Celyne, the forest doesn't have too dangerous monsters," Braine said soothingly.
As Braine said the forest only had monsters with the highest rank being at Rank C, even so, it was powerful enough to destroy many villages, because most villages didn't have strong people protecting them.
"Then Father and Lute will go, you are with your mother in the manor, wait for us here ok?" Braine turned to Sina.
"Um," Celyne let go of her embrace and returned to Sina's side.
Braine and I started to board the carriage and waved at Celyne and Sina. They also waved in return.
Our carriage is heading towards the village, to fight the impending disaster.

--PoV Silvie--
In the village right now, I'm practicing in a large garden. I cast various kinds of magic into the air.
Since Lute's departure, I really miss him. I miss his smile, his demeanor, even when he teases me.
"No-no, what I was thinking, I should be practicing, not thinking about it," After saying that I started practicing again.
Before Lute hit his head with a sword, I was the one who always bullied him. But since then, I've become the one he bullied which makes me unhappy.
I don't know what happened but he seems to be starting to change. He who used to be playful and lazy is now a completely different person.
He likes to tease me, help people in the village and even try to be strong. I also couldn't imagine before, he dared to go to the forest alone even without me. I certainly didn't let this happen, so I ended up going with him.
'I'm starting to think why it happened, was it because his head hit the sword that made the contents of his brain change, I don't know at all'
The thought of him not even being here makes my head heat up, it's like a Wife missing her husband.
"Silvie!! are you here?"
"Hiyaa,"
A girl my age called me suddenly, it startled me and screamed unintentionally.
"Natille!! You surprised me," I held my chest and sighed.
The girl in front of me is called Natille Carol, she is one of the children like me who live in the orphanage. She has shoulder-length black hair and is neither pretty nor ugly.
"Hmm, what's this? Ahaa you're thinking about your lover?" Natille clapped her hands and giggled teasingly at me.
"Wh-what lover is you referring to," I feel embarrassed now.
"Hahaha your face is red, let's go back, mom has prepared lunch,"Natille pulled my hand.
When we arrived at the orphanage, Natille and I entered and saw that the others had gathered in the dining room. Natille and I also sat on chairs, we all started to have lunch together.
After lunch, I went back to training until the sky started to get dark. I met up with Natille in front of the orphanage.
"You're back Silvie, aren't you tired of training all the time," Natille asked me in surprise.
"Not at all, I want to be strong to enter Mervbanis Academy, that's my wish, that way I won't trouble the others," I smiled at her.
'I don't want to lose to him either' I said to myself.
"I envy your aim, but since I don't have any magic talent, I can't do it," Natille just sighed.
"Don't worry Natille I'm sure you have other goals,"
Natille just smiled at my answer. We both went into the orphanage. I chatted with Natille until dinner arrived. After dinner, I went out and sat by the grass, where I slapped Lute hard.
"Beautiful view," I said hugging my knees.
Thinking back, Lute is moving closer to me here, that night. Recalling that incident made my head smoke.
"W-what's wrong with him even though I was just sitting next to him, he suddenly approached me it surprised me," I mumbled hugging my knees.
'W-what'
'As expected your face looks beautiful,'
'W..wa..wa..wa..what are you saying you pervert!!!'
Remembering this flash made my head hotter, I finally couldn't take it anymore and go back into the orphanage. I immediately rushed to my room and lay on the bed covering my face with the blanket.
"What's the matter all of a sudden?, your face is so red," Natille asked me with a strange face.
"N-nothing," My voice was muffled in the bed.
.....
That night around the village, many village guards were currently fighting the monsters that came to the village.
"What happened tonight? There are so many monsters," a guard shouted.
"I don't know either, it seems something happened in the forest," Another guard replied with a frightened face.
"We have to inform the village head immediately,"
Saying so, after all the monsters were defeated. The village guard went to the village chief's house.
"Are you saying that a lot of monsters attacked the village before!?"
The village head shouted in surprise. He was an old man who looked to be 50 years old. His hair had partly turned white and his face was starting to wrinkle, indicating that he was not a person with a large mana capacity.
Because the stronger you are, and the greater your mana capacity. You will look young even after being hundreds of years old. The village chief's name is Larrie Olpo.
"That's right, village chief, we don't lie,"
Larrie started to think about this problem and looked for the best solution.
"Tighten the guard in the village and don't let anyone into the forest, if something bad happens, evacuate the villagers immediately," Larrie shouted loudly.
"Yes, village chief," The guard who heard this rushed back to their guard post.
"I hope nothing bad happens," Larrie mumbled.
What he didn't know was, in fact, the most terrible calamity was hiding in the forest, stalking its prey.
....
Two days later.
After today's practice, the sky was already showing that it was already evening. I went back to the orphanage to rest.
During the training my current abilities improved, I also learned a new spell, "Frozen Thorn" this is a spell that releases sharp chunks of ice from underground. This spell is very destructive when hit by an enemy.
'I can't wait to show my skills to Lute,' I laughed inwardly.
After dinner, suddenly there was a loud noise from outside the village.
"Monster attack!!! Quickly evacuate villagers!!" Someone shouted.
The village is now in a state of chaos, many monsters are attacking, the guards are holding it back. The villagers start evacuating the children.
What I see now are a lot of monsters that are in a large area close to the forest. The monsters coming out of there are so many that I can't count them.
I saw this terrible state, didn't stay still, and joined the guard group to fight the monsters.
"Silvie why are you here, many monsters here, quickly evacuate," a guard who was fighting the bear monster said.
"No uncle, I will help fight monsters," I said and fired magic at the monsters.
"Haah.. we'd better talk about this later," The uncle said and fought the monster in front of him.
I also fought monsters by firing various spells. But even after many monsters died, other monsters came.
Suddenly there was a tiger shaped monster measuring 3 meters in size rushing towards us. I saw this scared. My body has reached its limit, I can't fight anymore.
The tiger looked at me with its gaze that looked hungry, as if it saw good prey. The tiger jumped up and opened its mouth wide at me.
"Silvie!!"
A guard shouted very loudly. He tried to help me but he was currently fighting another monster which made him unable to move.
I saw the tiger trying to eat me, was horrified. Suddenly flashbacks of my memories with Lute started flooding my vision.
Laughter, anger, sadness, fear, happiness, various memories appeared in my vision. Unknowingly, tears started to form in the corners of my eyes.
'Is this my end? If I knew this would happen, I would be honest with my feelings, Lute I miss you, I don't want to die, I want to be with you forever'
I cry over my helplessness, in expressing my feelings. If I have the chance, I will tell him that I love him.
Closing my eyes, wishing for a painless death. Suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of me and crushed the tiger's jaw.
Hearing the tiger screaming, I subconsciously opened my eyes. There I saw a handsome boy, white hair and bright yellow eyes appeared in front of me. He was holding a black dagger stained with tiger blood.
I looked at the boy in front of me, finally unable to hold back the dam of tears and broke.
"Uwaaaa.. uwaaaaa.... Lute I miss you,"I hugged Lute with all my might.

Chapter 14: Chapter 14-How Could That Be?
Now that our group was near the village, I saw a lot of monsters attacking the villagers, making me worry about Silvie's condition. I rushed into the village looking for her.
"Everyone!! prepare your weapons," Braine shouted to everyone loudly.
Hearing this all the guards and adventurers, got out of the carriage and made a neat line.
"We will fight the monsters that come out of the forest, every monster you kill will be yours and the reward you get from the quest will not decrease,"
Hearing this, many adventurers were happy, some adventurers who had been punished were relieved that now they could earn a better living.
"Attack!!!!"
All the guards and adventurers rushed to the wide field in front of the forest, where many monsters were charging.
I'm currently in the village and killed a lot of monsters. I also gained a lot of Battle Points from this.
"Silvie!!! Where are you!!" I screamed with all my might to look for her.
The village is full of monster chaos, luckily the village currently doesn't seem to have suffered too much damage. Looks like we arrived just in time, otherwise, I'm sure the village will be reduced to rubble if we are a little late.
Worried, I searched around the village and finally found Silvie who was currently fighting monsters, but she didn't look well.
I who was about to rush there suddenly saw a tiger monster moving towards Silvie and opened its mouth wide.
I couldn't help but cringe at this moment. I was as fast as I could to get there. Silvie had closed her eyes looking like she had given up. A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
I saw her cry, felt a pain in my heart that made me angry, and smashed the tiger's jaw with the dagger using all my might.
"Roar"
The tiger screamed in pain after I injured it until its mouth was split in two. I breathed a sigh of relief because it was just in time.
Suddenly I felt a very tight hug from behind.
"Uwaaaaa.. uwaaaaa.... Lute I miss you," Silvie hugged me with all her might.
[+55,000 Love Points]
I was surprised by Silvie hugging me and the Love Point I got.
'This.. what happened? Did I do something?… didn't I just save her?'
I was confused by the number of Love Points, I didn't expect to get this many. It was certain that Silvie liked me now.
Looking at the current Silvie, she was crying really hard and hugged me tightly as if afraid that I would disappear.
Seeing her like this, I just hugged her back too. But I saw the tiger was up now and looked at me angrily, after that the tiger attacked both of us.
I immediately hugged Silvie and dodged. Soaring in the air with Silvie in my arms. I fell down quickly and cut the tiger's neck.
The tiger's head detached from its body and fell, the tiger's body that had lost its head staggered and finally fell.
Silvie was calmer now but still hugged me tightly.
"Hehehe what's this, do you miss me so much?" I said teasingly.
"Um, I missed you so much, I didn't want you to leave me," Silvie looked up at me with her wet eyes.
'W-what's this? Her attitude changed drastically, "I was flabbergasted to see it.
My clothes are now flooded with her tears, she looks into my eyes with moist eyes. I look at her face, have the feeling of wanting to protect her from anything.
'Calm down Lute, there are still a lot of monsters here,' Thinking so I hugged Silvie and moved to a safe place.
Looking from the rooftops of the residents' houses, a lot of monsters are still coming out of the forest, but now that's been taken care of by the group of guards and adventurers. I feel relieved after seeing this.
"Silvie, mom, and the others, where?" I asked curiously.
"They have been evacuated now, they should be safe now,"
I felt like there was now no more problem to worry about, after hearing Silvie's explanation. The last problem was with the forest, what caused the monsters to come out from there.
"Silvie you have to evacuate too, let us handle the matter here," I said to Silvie who was still hugging me, not wanting me to leave.
"N-no I don't want to, are you going to leave me again Lute?" Silvie looked at my face with an expression as if she was about to cry.
I now feel pressured to see her expression, I don't want to leave her alone.
'Haah.. looks like I'll have to use that.'
Since Silvie wanted to come with me, I had to give her a Mana Potion and an HP Potion. Her current condition didn't look good.
"System gives me Mana Potions and HP Potions too," I whispered in a small voice.
[Item has been purchased]
Holding the two potions in my hand, one red and the other blue I handed them over to Silvie. Mana Potion and HP Potion cost 1000 Battle Points for one potion. Killing the monster just now gave me enough Battle Points to buy it.
"Alright I won't leave you, Silvie drink this, this Potion will heal your wounds and replenish your mana,"
Silvie didn't hesitate and immediately drank it. It seemed that after drinking it she was feeling better now.
"Alright, since you want to come with me, remember don't go far okay?"I said to warn her.
"Um, I won't leave Lute," Silvie replied with a smile.
I just chuckled seeing this. The two of us charged forward to charge the monsters, I would swiftly kill any approaching monsters, Silvie would kill the monsters with her magic from afar.
[+300 Battle Points]
[+400 Battle Points]
[+800 Battle Points]
.....
Lots of monsters and lots of Battle Points that I got, this place is now my place to harvest Battle Points.
After a long fight, the monsters finally seemed to start to shrink in number. They no longer attacked the village, some ran in another direction.
"Huft it's finally over, but I have an unpleasant feeling, it seems there is something else,"
I muttered and looked around, but all I saw were corpses of monsters. The group of guards and adventurers had also finished.
I only saw Braine, who was still on guard, looking into the forest.
Sure enough, a strong wind started to blow, the trees in the forest started to fall and suddenly something flew from within the forest and fell over a large area.
It was a creature that had the body of a lion, the wings of a bat, the tail of a scorpion with porcupine spines around it. Its head was a human head that looked like an old man.
I saw goosebumps all over my body, it was a Manticore Monster. The Manticore was a Rank A monster that was impossible in the forest around here. They were usually in the forest close to the Devil's territory.
"Hahahahaha, I didn't expect anyone to know, I would attack the village," It was the voice of someone above the Manticore's head.
Above the Manticore was a man who had one horn on his head, with slightly gray skin. There was no mistaking it, the man on top of the Manticore was from the demon race.
"I originally planned to destroy the village near the city, but I didn't expect anyone to find out," the demon said.
"What are your plans to destroy the villages around the city? Is this an order from your king?" Brainne shouted glumly.
"You mean the Demon Lord? Hahaha, she is too scared to attack other races, we are a different group, my master will now become the next Demon Lord and make that woman a prostitute for himself," The demon laughed out loud.
'Tch I thought so, although Demon Lord is an evil title for other races, actually in the story, she is a good person, but because the territory they live in is less fertile, making their people suffer, and they have to seize another territory to live in."
'When I completed the Demon King's route, there was a group of demons who didn't accept the current Demon King's attitude, they ended up planning to replace the current demon lord with a new one,'
"Looks like I also have to solve the problem that befell the demon territory, I'll go there later," I started to think of my plan.
Brainne was irritated by his rambling, but he didn't care about the conflict the demons had, he immediately rushed towards the Manticore.
"Thunderstorm,"
The sky began to rumble as lightning began to gather around Braine, instantly casting spells at the Manticore.
From the sky lightning struck the Manticore violently, the Manticore only received a few injuries, while the person above the Manticore's head was seriously injured.
"Hahaha I thought you were strong but you can only control that Manticore," Braine laughed mockingly.
"Ugh… you damn bastard I'll kill you Manticore attack him," The demon shouted commanding the Manticore.
"Roar,"
The Manticore charged at him with its tail spitting out porcupine spikes, Brainne dodged it by flying through the air. If someone was strong enough they could usually fly through the air freely using mana.
"Thunder Pillar"
Four pillars made of lightning surrounded the Manticore and began to attack it.
"Dammit [Dark Barrier]," The demon cast a spell to protect himself. The Manticore also started to dodge the lightning and attacked Braine, a fierce battle raging in midair.
The group of guards and adventurers could only retreat seeing this, if they were hit by an attack, they were sure to die instantly.
Silvie and I also tried to dodge this battle, but Brainne was suddenly hit by a Manticore's attack and was sent crashing downwards.
The poisonous spines of the Manticore tried to attack the group of guards and adventurers who were trying to escape. Brainne tried to stop the attack, but there were still a few that couldn't be stopped and one of them was aimed at Silvie.
I saw this got scared and pushed Silvie so hard that she fell.
*Puchi*
A sharp thorn pierced my chest in an instant and blood spurted onto Silvie's shirt.
