Last Hero
Chapter 27: The Time of Calm
For a few days we spent tidying up the whole mess in this city and also burying the people who had died.
If there is one person who does not work then he is Cosetta, even when fighting deadly sin also does nothing.
He just came here, leading us to a dangerous place while himself sitting sweetly with tea in his hand.
"Ah, the tea is dripping into my chest, Okta please clean it with your tongue."
Damn demon girl, obviously I won't do it even if it's very tempting I'll end up being her slave.
I just gave her a handkerchief and went back to cleaning the building.
Marie, Kila, Noel, Yue was far away preparing food with the others. Kokoro came closer to me.
"Sir Okta, can we talk to you both?"
"certain."
I wonder what he wants to say, we both take a walk along the soothing stream.
"Thank you for helping us, I should have given you a gift but..."
his expression was a little disappointed.
"Not to think about it, you need money to build your country, not."
"Yes, even so I felt bad so I decided to let you touch your tail."
"No, no, it's not. That means if I touch it then I have to be your husband."
"Let's just say this is an exception, the rule is sometimes strange but this is only applied among the kingdom, so if a little does not matter."
"Then."
I only touched one tail and put it on my face but Kokoro was already panting.
What the fuck? What touched the tail up to its side. I also forgot how soft the tail was due to the situation that occurred.
He kept making a groaning sound.
"No problem, please continue."
Woe.
It's definitely not good for my mental health.
It felt like I had committed a despicable act of touching the tail. Even if I have a pet I make sure not to touch his tail at all.
I seriously.
After one week we decided to say goodbye to leaving the demi-human region, this place has returned beautiful even though we have a new destination now.
There is a way that can make me a hero, although it is difficult to do it with all my strength.
Kokoro and Carot waved to usher in our departure.
Arriving at the mansion everyone looked happy, we had also parted ways with Fel and Cosetta.
It is true that there is no place as good as home.
"All right."
Yue and Marie were both gone, Kila decided to sleep while Noel went straight away again.
I asked where he was going? And he said he'd see the orphanage. I was a little curious so I decided to come too.
In front of the spacious building the children started running around hugging Noel, I helped him by carrying things.
"Sister Noel is coming."
"Horry."
"Did you miss me? I'm sorry you have a job so you can't come here."
"It's okay, brother is in charge of protecting everyone from the bad guys, we understand."
"Smart kid."
It seems that Noel has not told me that he has come out of the knight, although I know that I have no intention of saying anything about it.
What I do know is that he's just keeping these kids' hopes up.
"I brought a lot of food, please take."
"Good."
"Don't scramble for a second the others will be sent here as well."
"Horry."
Noel and I smiled from a distance, however all the children showed each other their gifts. The foster mother, who was a nurse, bowed towards the two of us before asking the children to go back inside.
The sun had already set so they should be inside the house at this time.
"Thank you Okta, you even bothered to buy them lots of gifts."
"No problem, I happen to have a lot of savings."
The savings I am referring to are the money from the previous home sale.
To be honest I was more surprised by him being able to act normally.
"They were all victims of the war that I managed to save, given what happened, I always hoped that there would be no more war at any time."
I feel that way too.
"Everybody's been waiting, we should go home too, tonight's dinner is it?" ask Noel.
"Say Marie's gonna make a special roast or whatever."
"really? I gotta go right away."
Noel immediately ran while I followed him from behind. Today feels peaceful.
If only this kind of atmosphere could last forever.
