Chapter 60: Self-Driving Carriage
"What do you mean you don’t want to announce that you’re the hero yet? You’ll get fame and fortune! You’ll live a life of luxury! You’ll be treated with the utmost respect! Why don’t you want to be recognized?!"
After pulling the Hero’s sword yesterday, Kai and Gwen packed up their things and decided that it was time to leave the town. It wasn’t because of his newly found fame and the fact that everyone was trying to get on his good side and make it easy in life. Kai just thought it was time to go.
When he told this to Tyria and Annabeth, they didn’t mind and packed up as well. However, when Tyria asked if Kai was going to Qasyran City to meet with the Church of Gracia so he could get ordained, he said that he wasn’t.
After that, she started losing her mind.
"It’s not like I don’t plan on going there at all. I just don’t care to right now. I want to build up my own merit and credit, not take someone else’s." Kai explained
"B-But, you’re the hero." She argued.
"So? And Gracia is a goddess, yet I don’t see her ass fighting the demon king. Talk about doing a lousy job."
Everyone gasped.
"What?"
"You just insulted Goddess Gracia!" Gwen explained
"As a hero no less," Annabeth added.
