Heroes From Other Worlds Who Don't Like To Fight

Chapter 168: Meeting, Farewell and Mutual Understanding

Historia wakes up on top of the bed and sees that Souma has been tidying up her clothes as if she wants to escape.

"Souma? What's going on?"

"You were unconscious."

"Eh, unconscious. Then what?"

"We'll be out of here soon, I'm thinking of leaving you at Eria's central church, I'll also decide to return to my village."

"That's fast, but can I just stay with you."

"Sorry Historia but it would be much better if you stayed there."

Historia stared with a disappointed look even so she knew something was hidden to the point of deciding not to force it.

Although invisible Souma seemed to try not to get as close as possible to others.

"I see, if Souma says so I have no reason to refuse, but whether I can contact you by the occasional letter."

"Of course."

That slightly gave Historia hope and covered up her loneliness as well, they stuffed every item into the carriage then continued on their way back.

Souma did not take the usual route of merchants but rather the hidden route to get to the battlefield. When Historia asked why they had to go there, Souma just said he wanted to see someone.

"Sorry Historia, I actually want to spend a lot of time with you yet.."

"I know, this must be the Harmonia church, they're evil until whenever I'm going to keep thinking of them that way."

"They're not evil, it's just that there's some people trying to control them."

"Stay with it."

Historia frowned and Souma only smiled wryly, they had already spent 2 days in the dark forest and Souma patiently faced Historia as much as he could.

In between his time Souma also made drugs with large quantities, he said, he could no longer sell medicine like before, but thought he would give it to the guards and ask them to spread it to the cities that really needed it.

Soon they arrived at the camp used as the camp of those who fought on the front lines of the war.

Risela who served as the commander jumped at Souma.

"You're here, did you change your mind to fight with me?"

"There's something I want to tell you, I also want you to channel all these drugs."

Souma flicked his finger until thousands of potion bottles were dropped from his storage magic.

"I wanted to keep it but I think it's better if I give it all to you."

"Uwahh, Souma is very good then can you punish me as well, I'm a little passionate."

Even so Risela was even more surprised, how much she asked Souma to abuse her he never obeyed her.

"Souma did something happen? And that little girl over there."

"I can't say it, but like I said there's something I want to ask for."

"What's that?"

"If the demon queen is defeated, release her."

"Not that?"

"This world has many things that we don't understand anyway whether we and Risela are people from another world."

"I see, if Souma says it, I will. If Stella urges me I'll fight her too. What was? Why are you looking at me so Souma?"

"I'm surprised you agreed to it."

"Of course I still don't believe in letting the demon queen off the hook, but I'd rather trust you anyway - this is the first time you've asked me for anything.. though I often ask you to do strange things to my body, I'm somehow very happy."

"Rissell."

"Then I'll be back, thanks for the cure."

Souma only saw Risela's departure from a distance before leaving, then with Historia they visited a cathedral where this was where Eria's cult was located.

One of the priestesses received the Historia with open arms.

"Please take care of Historia, she's a perverted and troubled boy even so when she sleeps with another girl it won't happen anything until one of them gets pregnant."

"Ah, about that? I'm quite surprised you can say it flatly but I will take care of it as much as possible, Historia we will train to become a Saint."

"I doubt he could be like that, then Historia is our farewell. You can send me a letter I'll also do the opposite."

"We understand each other."

Souma placed his hand on Historia's head while smiling at her.

"Just be yourself."

Tears dripped from his face.

Historia lowered her head while saying in a loud voice.

"Thank you so much for everything."

And Souma waved his hand without looking over. Without realizing it Souma has opened a new path for this world to be saved.
