But, he never laid his hands on me, in fact his presence alone made me feel safe.
Was that what you’d call a natural virtue or was I simply too softhearted, I don’t know.
But remembering him calling me a beauty, my heart beat grew a bit faster.
Well, from Renji-sama’s point of view, it was either a joke or he was making fun of me.
“Can you tell me more about your journey later?”
“Umm——-“(fran)
I was at a loss for words but the teacher, a middle-aged woman, came into the class at a perfect time.
“The teacher is here.”(fran)
“Oh…..then, see you later.”
I didn’t know whether to consider myself lucky or to sigh at the fact that this conversation will continue.
For some reason, Renji-sama didn’t like being called and treated as a Hero.
Even after subjugating the Orcs, he gave all the credit to me and he himself had been satisfied and happy with just drinking some alcohol.
Even though he’s so much more amazing than someone like me, but everytime I said that, he’d laugh and say that it wasn’t like that.
I think he’s just being modest.
He doesn’t boast at all and was always worried for me instead.
And, even I’m not an idiot. I may be ignorant of worldly matters but it’s not like I know nothing at all.
14 Orcs.
The expense incurred in killing them is not a few a gold coins.
One-by-one might not be that difficult but for facing more than 10 Orcs at the same time, there was a need for the Knight Orders to take action.
The expenses for that won’t ever be just a few gold coins. There’s a chance that the reward alone would be in silver coins.
But even then, Renji-sama only asked for 4 gold coins total. Even selling those Orcs would have gotten him double that amount.
I’m sure he probably realized that the villagers won’t be able to pay him that much but still, the amount he asked for was especially less.
And, half of it had been given to me who was basically useless.
He even taught me how to fight and how to use my magic. Let alone being of use to him, I had ended up getting caught due to lowering my guard, but still I had received half of the reward.
It was my first income that I earned as an adventurer, that too along with the Hero Renji-sama.
Those two gold coins have become my treasure now. It’s really precious to me.
The Academy had apologised for not being able to arrange proper adventurers for my help but now I’m actually thankful for that.
Thanks to that, I was able to experience something irreplaceable.
