Chapter 440

[Extra] SSS-Class Barbarian (2)

“Oh, you’re his sister?!”

The senior’s surprise wasn’t unreasonable.

If one were to suddenly talk about their family at a tourist destination, even the country would start to question you.

Did I overdo it?

“We don’t even have any resemblance— I mean, yes, he’s my brother. We usually get along well, but this situation confused me for a moment. Hahaha…”

Naturally, we looked nothing alike. We weren’t real siblings, after all.

However, the college senior didn’t seem to doubt our words.

“So, can you tell me what you need from my sister?”

“I asked her to have dinner with me.”

“That’s unfortunate. We’ve already agreed to have a meal together with our parents. Right, sister?”

I looked back at my kind college sister, feeling a little nervous because I’d look stupid if she denied it blatantly.

“…”

“Are you okay?”

“…”

“Sister?”

“Huh? Yes? Oh, right! We decided to have a meal together with our family! I’m so sorry, senior!”

She lost her bearings for a moment there, causing me to worry a little, but she, fortunately, matched my rhythm before it was too late.

Next up was her senior.

If he decided to recklessly join our family dinner, we’d have nothing to counter against it.

Luckily, he didn’t seem that rude.

“Well, then there’s nothing I can do about it. Sorry to bother you!”

After apologizing to us, he quickly disappeared to the far end of the street.

“Whew…” I exhaled, feeling relieved for making it through safely.

I was honestly a little scared, considering our opponent was huge and tough-looking.

My friends and schoolgirls were talking behind me, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. My heart was beating too loud and too fast.

“Hey… thank you so much.”

All I could clearly understand was the college girl’s voice, who was standing in front of me.

“Don’t worry about it. I should get going.”

“Wait!”

“Yes?”

“Have you already forgotten? You promised to have dinner with me, didn’t you?”

“That’s…”

I was just improvising when I said that.

Was this what an adult was like?

As I got closer to my female college friend, my brain became dominated by something I couldn’t quite identify.

Hormones? Pheromones? Adrenaline? Estrogen? Testosterones?

I wasn’t certain.

“There’s a famous restaurant 10 minutes away from here.”

“You mean the restaurant next to the first Chunjang Bungeoppang store in this place?”

“That’s right!”

It was awkward at first, but the more we spoke, the more I became comfortable.

Holding her hand, we made our way to the restaurant.

Woo- woo- woo- woo- woo—

I felt like my smartphone had been vibrating in my pocket for quite a bit of time now, but it was probably just me.

*****

My memory of last night was hazy, almost as if it was just a dream.

I ate at a restaurant with my college friend, and for dessert, I bought bungeoppang at this place’s first Chunjang Bungeoppang store. (TL: Bungeoppang* fish-shaped waffle with red bean)

But I couldn’t remember what I did in detail…

Ah! I remembered something!

“She told me I was handsome and manly, I think?”

It was the first time someone genuinely praised my appearance.

But our relationship ended there.

I didn’t give her my full name, and we didn’t even exchange contact information.

If she had asked, I would’ve gladly told her, but she didn’t.

I hesitated at the thought that she might just be reluctant to ask me, but she probably just wasn’t interested.

Was this what it meant to break up?

“Han Soo’s acting weird.”

“From my diagnosis, he’s in love!”

“I believe so as well.”

“No way. Our Han Soo? Oh my.”

“Han Soo! Talk to us!”

My friends, who had woken up at the same time, had been causing a fuss since dawn.

What were these bastards saying now?

“It’s not like that.”

Obviously, I never saw the college girl for the rest of our school trip, which instead ended with boos from my friends.

*****

『A certain righteous divine being detects the smell of evil.』

『A certain restless demonic god claims it’s the scent of a harem.』

『A certain god pops 11861 popcorn.』

I didn’t know if it was because I became a god, thus removing the limits of my lifespan, but time seemed to pass quicker now.

Our high school field trip felt vivid, almost as if it happened yesterday, but I was now on a space trip.

To establish justice in the universe.

I ventured to a savage planet that Master Mollan’s teachings never reached.

“Excuse me. I’m Hero A. Can I ask you something?”

“Hey—?!”

“…”

It didn’t matter whether it was in Fantasy or on other planets. Everyone reacted the same whenever I spoke with the Righteous Hero’s smile on my face.

They were always terribly surprised.

That taught me that this world discriminated based on looks, at least.

“I’ll answer to the best of my capabilities, so please, spare at least my wife and children!”

“Ah…”

What did Spaceman D think of me?

I was the Righteous GGG-Class Hero.

The Hero would never take someone else’s wife and daughter by using his handsome looks.

Still, it was too annoying to explain my side to resolve misunderstandings, so I went straight to the point instead.

“I’ve heard about a bad rumor circulating around here. Can you explain it to me in detail?”

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about…”

“Really?”

“… Save me, hero!”

“…”

“I was possessed by the witch and helped her indirectly, but I really didn’t know! Please believe me! Please— Keugh?!”

“Shut up and explain the situation to me.”

Frightened by my divine presence, the evil minion started confessing as soon as I caught him between his 6th and 7th cervical vertebrae!

The gist of the situation was that there had been a rumor about powerful monsters entering the house of Beauty S, a stranger who settled in a nearby village.

It turned out to be real.

“I happened to pass by the witch’s log house after being chased by an ogre while chopping wood in the forest.”

“You mean the ogre stopped hunting you down and disappeared into her home?”

“That’s right.”

“You used it, didn’t you?”

“What do you mean?”

“You passed by the house of a woman living alone in the woods to get rid of the terrifying ogre. On purpose.”

“Well, that’s…”

“Excuses are a sin.”

“Aghh!?”

Crack.

Now that I had tampered between his 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae elegantly, it would be difficult for him to mate normally in the next few years.

Now, then…

It was time to meet Beauty S to uncover the truth behind the rumor.

『A certain righteous divine being tries to execute an infiltration.』

『A certain restless demonic god laughs insidiously.』

『A certain restless demonic god is certain of a harem.』

『A certain restless demonic god bets a sky blue underwear.』

『A certain receptionist is shocked.』

『A certain receptionist cries.』

Woosh!

My clothes almost got soaked since I ignored the weather forecast about the sudden rain shower, but I was able to infiltrate before that.

They needed to be quiet, or else they’d drive me crazy.

『A certain kind goddess carefully sticks out her head.』

▶ Question: President Kang Han Soo. Are you busy?

‘I’m not busy at all, Morality Teacher!’

Beauty S was in the midst of a mysterious ritual that pushed mind-controlled monsters into her dark pit, but I didn’t have to worry about it.

▶ Difficulty: I’m planning to apply for regular leave. For some reason, the system requires the permission of the President, not the Director…

That was only natural.

I decided to handle her vacation personally to prevent my jealous, cowardly wife from abusing her, who was beautiful both in body and mind.

So she was applying for a leave…

▶ Confirmation: Yes. Please don’t ask where I’m going.

Whimper!

I felt as if the kind-hearted Morality Teacher was gradually drifting away from me. I didn’t want to believe it, but she seemed to have already been in love with someone before I became her student…

But I couldn’t do anything about it.

『A certain righteous divine being focuses on his work.』

『A certain restless demonic god complains of frustration.』

『A certain relaxed deity watches the scene with interest.』

『A certain god is handing out popcorn.』

『A certain innocent goddess asks what’s going on.』

‘Please have a good vacation, Morality Teacher!’

After sincerely wishing her happiness and success, I returned from being the Head of Fantasy to a Hero.

How far did I go?

“Huh? Did the sudden change in the weather twist my summoning spell?! You’re supposed to be a handsome Demon Lord, not an ugly crucian carp!”

“I’m not a carp! I will carve that deep into your body for four years. Cuckoo!”

“Oh, no!”

A crucian-carp-headed giant popped out of the dark pit.

From my point of view, it was insignificant.

However, it wasn’t someone a human with a poor pelvis could handle.

Squeak! Squeak!

『A certain innocent goddess covers her face with her palms』

『A certain restless demonic god suggests taking the time to rescue her.』

『A certain relaxed deity highly appreciates this development.』

『A certain receptionist urges for salvation.』

“Hmm…”

She was being attacked by the one she summoned. Wasn’t that self-defeatism?

I didn’t feel the need to save her.

But…

『A certain righteous divine being grabs someone’s cervical vertebrae.』

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!”

Crack.

Finding any conversation here unnecessary, I instantly killed the summoned being!

It might be possible to resurrect it using a special ability, but only if their assailant was an ordinary being.

[Hero]

In my presence, who ceaselessly exacted justice, all evil had an equal end.

That was my Providence.

“Wahh… Sniff…”

Beauty S, whose clothes were torn helplessly by her summoned beast’s large hands, was now half-naked.

Contrary to the ugly rumors, she looked like an ordinary woman.

“What were you trying to summon?”

“Sniff! I shouldn’t hide anything from my savior. I tried to summon the Demon Lord…”

“… Why?”

“I can’t tell you that.”

“I see.”

I wrapped my arm around her waist and pulled her up since she couldn’t stand up by herself due to her weakened legs.

“Ah…”

With our faces so close to each other we could feel our breaths against our skin, I asked, “Still can’t tell me?”

“Well, if you’re my man, perhaps I can…”

“Really?”

“Ahm!”

Our lips met, and our tongues intertwined with each other, preventing us from talking.

“…”

Beauty S’s arms, as she caressed my back, drooped.

I reached a simple verdict.

“Your reason’s so embarrassing you can’t even tell others, isn’t it?”

『A certain restless demonic god is astonished at someone’s hasty judgment.』

『A certain innocent goddess thinks that was too much.』

『A certain righteous divine being cleans up the scene.』

“Hmm…”

Should I finally go on vacation after working ceaselessly like Morality Teacher?

There were delicious bungeoppang stores I’d like to visit.
