I have a hero simulator

Chapter 69: Father, you can’t keep this daughter anymore!

In the tavern inside the Adventurer's Guild.

After listening to Darkness's explanation, the others nodded.

"In other words, Darkness's father wanted her to give up her dangerous adventurer job and return home to inherit the family business. He arranged blind dates for her whenever he could, but Darkness herself didn't want to get married, so she rejected all of them."

Now even Huihui understood what was going on.

Youyou pricked up her ears and murmured, "Is this the adult world?"

"Yeah, that's right. Honestly, I'm quite content and enjoy my current life. If I could become a powerful adventurer one day, be targeted by an evil mage, or be surrounded by minions of the Demon King's army, and then be defeated, I'd definitely end up in a terrible state, being dragged to a dungeon, handcuffed and shackled, with my clothes torn to pieces... well... just thinking about it makes me excited!"

"You'd better get married soon, so those nobles can play even more perverted games."

Seeing Darkness immersed in her own masochistic fantasies, everyone took a step back and stayed away from her.

"This blind date was proposed by the lord, and your father can't refuse. So you definitely need to go back."

Megumin waved her staff and said, “Since you’re a noble, Darkness, you should have a name, right?”

"Ah... yes, my real name is Dustinis Ford Lalatina..."

Darkness suddenly felt shy when she said this.

She seems to be ashamed of her birth name "Lalatina" and becomes particularly shy when called by it.

"Dastyness! That's a super noble family! Known as the nation's chief advisor, their status is second only to that of the princess!"

"Wow, I'm so envious!"

"Hey!"

Hearing the others’ surprised voices, Darkness was stunned for a moment and lowered her head sadly.

Because she is a young lady from a secluded area.

So Darkness lacks common sense, and besides being a little off-base, she is also easily deceived.

However, her family has been worshippers of the goddess Eris for generations.

So, since Chris is here, he will definitely not let her suffer any loss.

When everyone was silent, the silver-haired thief girl, Chris, smiled brightly and said as if to comfort Darkness, "Don't worry, Goddess Eris will definitely help you!"

"......Really!"

"Don't worry, Lalatina. We're here. At worst, we can just rob it!"

Huihui said domineeringly.

"No! Don't call me by that name!!"

Darkness, no, Lalatina’s face flushed red as she looked forward with tears in her eyes.

"Okay, Lalatina."

Huihui said with a wicked smile.

But at this time.

Shen Yuan remained silent.

To be honest, he didn't hate Darkness, but he didn't like her particularly either. Although Darkness's personality was a little eccentric, she was still a good girl.

Moreover, she wanted to be an adventurer on her own initiative; no one forced her.

After all, if I were Darkness's parents, I probably wouldn't want my daughter to risk her life to defeat the Demon King.

Just when Shen Yuan was thinking this.

He felt a strong gaze staring at him.

The sight came from Darkness, tears in her eyes, staring at him silently.

There were several other people staring at him with the same anticipation.

I have a feeling that this is the time for me to act like a captain.

"Calm down. For the sake of the future, think carefully. Subduing the Demon King is no joke. Megumin, Yunyun, and you too must carefully consider whether you want to embark on this path of no return. So far, our team has only engaged in small-scale operations. If a true Demon King army leader were to attack, we might not even have the means to defend ourselves."

Shen Yuan simply laid it all out, saying, "If we choose to be the enemy of the Demon King's army, will they just give up? They might have already issued a bounty order for us within the Demon King's army. This means that the next actions will become more dangerous each time, so you should think carefully about it."

"...Captain, you mean to say that you will go and defeat the Demon King even when we're not around, right?"

Chris pondered for a moment and asked.

"This is my mission."

Shen Yuan said calmly: "But you are different, you..."

"Defeat the Demon King is also our goal!"

Megumin stood up, staff in hand. "I am Megumin, the strongest Explosion Mage. My goal is to become the most powerful magician in Axel! One day, I will explore the ultimate realm of Explosion Magic!"

"I am Youyou, the future patriarch of the Crimson Demon Village. The Demon King's army and I are irreconcilable!"

"I don't have any dreams, but I can spend money by following the captain, so how can I bear to give up this team!"

Yoyo and Chris both said with a smile.

"Darkness, what about you?"

This pressure was put on Darkness, as if testing her determination. If she just wanted to avoid the blind date, then there was no need at all.

"Don't, don't look at me like that. I'm half serious, okay?... Becoming a member of the Brave Team and defeating the Demon King is every knight's dream! If I can change my father's impression and opinion of me in this way, then that's the true meaning of being an excellent Crusader."

After Darkness's speech, several people sighed.

But in the end I decided to help her this time.

Of course, it is to let her get married smoothly!

......

The next day.

Dastynis Mansion.

Lalatina (the female knight) has changed into an expensive-looking dress, with white high heels on her feet. Her beautiful long blonde hair is tied into a braid that hangs down from one shoulder to the front, giving people the impression of a pure beauty, with the temperament of a rich lady.

But even though she looks so innocent, it still can't hide her seductive figure.

And the contrasting personalities...

In the noble mansion, Darkness's father had been waiting early. When Shen Yuan and his party entered, they were warmly received.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Shen Yuan, and I'm the captain of Lalatina's adventuring team."

"Welcome, brave man! I am Lalatina's father..."

Because of his status, Darkness's father had naturally heard of the reputation of this recent ace team. Defeating the Demon King's army cadres and destroying the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, any one of them was enough to shock many people.

"We have been under Miss Lalatina's care for a long time, and we would like to thank you for your guidance. If this blind date goes well, we may not get to meet Miss Lalatina again. In this case, we have decided to witness the moment when Lalatina gets married with our own eyes."

Shen Yuan's words made Darkness stand there in a daze.

The other team members looked like they were watching a show, watching Darkness's expression change unpredictably.

She stared at him with murderous eyes, but Shen Yuan ignored her.

"Thank you so much. It's a great honor for Lalatina to have companions like you."

Darkness’s father looked very happy.

A lively conversation followed.

Then Darkness's father said that if this marriage could be successful, he would give Shen Yuan and others a big red envelope of 10 million Eris as a reward.

The Dastinis family has nothing but a lot of money.

"I reject!"

Darkness slammed down her throat, "Father, I have no plans to get married! After careful consideration, I feel it's too early to get married... Now that things have come to this, I'll be frank. If you force me to get married, I'll wreck everything! I'm going to ruin this blind date! Hahahahaha!"

Darkness didn't even act and decisively revealed her true nature.

Then she threw herself into Shen Yuan's arms and said to her father, "By the way, I'm already our captain's, body and soul! I've done everything I should and shouldn't have! And he's a hero, a hero hand-picked by Goddess Eris! Our family are all devoted believers in the Eris Cult, so I don't think you'd dare offend Goddess Eris!"

Upon hearing this, Darkness's father's expression changed from shock and disbelief to anger and fear.

Finally it turned pale...

Shen Yuan, Hui Hui and the others were all dumbfounded, even Chris was confused.

“Darkness, don’t smear my innocence! When did I…”

Shen Yuan was about to say something when he found his lips were blocked by something soft.

“…Waaaaaaa——Darkness, you’re so despicable!!”

Huihui was completely dumbfounded.

They joined forces to force Darkness to marry, but unexpectedly they were killed in return.

"H-Hahah ahahahaha!"

Darkness narrowed her eyes, then revealed her true nature. She laughed wildly, "Father, do you understand? What kind of blind date is this? Do you want your daughter to betray the will of Goddess Eris and marry another man?"

"...Could it be that this is the reason you came here...?"

Darkness's father looked at Shen Yuan and others with fear in his eyes.

"Please listen to me!"

At this point, I guess there's no point in explaining.

Darkness seemed to not give Shen Yuan any chance to speak and tried every way to interrupt him, while her father was in tears, with tears in his eyes. On one side was the brave man chosen by the goddess, and on the other side were the conditions from the lord.

Should I betray my faith or turn against my lord?

"Uh, it seems like Goddess Eris has an oracle..."

Chris looked at Shen Yuan seriously and said, "The goddess said that even if this blind date doesn't work out... at least the hero will help by preventing Lalatina from doing anything disrespectful to her blind date and try to calm this farce down."

"I never heard!"

Shen Yuan glared at Chris, but this guy seemed to be ready to show his hand.

Maybe Darkness is Chris's best friend.

"Well, my brave lord! If you can stop my daughter from destroying everything, and make the lord give up, I will pay you a handsome reward! 5...5 million eris! So, please... (Qian De Zhao)!"

Darkness's father suddenly stared at Shen Yuan as if he had seen a life-saving straw.

Anyway, my daughter will marry whomever she wants.

But if she did something disrespectful, such as going completely dark and going berserk, crippling the lord's son, that would be a big trouble.

This is not just a matter of face, the family will also be seriously affected.

So now Darkness's father no longer cares about who Darkness wants to marry, and his only thought is to stop her from going berserk.

"Please leave it to us!"

After hearing about the 500 million Eris, Huihui, Youyou and the others were no longer sleepy.

Everyone stared at Darkness like wolves and tigers, making her nervous and moving away from Shen Yuan.

"Please, don't... don't look at me like that... it's so exciting!"

Darkness suddenly blushed in embarrassment.

"Get ready first. Someone's coming from the lord's side. I'll go deal with it!"

Her father wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and left the room in a hurry.

Now, the people in the room looked at each other.

"So, Miss Lalatina, do you understand? As long as you obey our instructions, you can stay on the team. As for the 500 million Eris, we will each give 100 million!"

"Humph!"

Darkness looked at them with hatred. If she hadn't had an idea, she would have been forced into a desperate situation.

"Okay, I'll trust you again..."

Darkness regained some composure and her attitude became much better.
