Chapter 40: Cynthia Hardwood (Final Part)

"So...Tall..." Cynthia said as she looked at the tall figure in front of her.

The man looked at her and said, "Heal" and suddenly a surge of energy entered her body completely healing her from her previous injuries, not only that her armor is also fixed as well.

"No...way..." She said mesmerized to what she had witnessed.

Before she could even say anything she was interupted by the mysterious man,

"What don't you rest for a bit youngin'," he said as he walked over the hooded man's corpse along with the death knight (Presumably almost breaking through the rank of Death General or envoy of death, second only to the lich).

"Hmm... This energy is similar yet different, tsk, regardless another failed hunt" he said as he burned their corpses leaving nothing but dust.

Cynthia looked at the tall man walking towards her,

"I-" before she could even say anything the man gently placed his finger to her lips,

"Shh... No need to thank me youngin' I just saved you by coincidence and also... Please keep what happened here a secret, okay?" He said with a slight giggle as he walked away.

Cynthia only nodded in agreement as she watched the back of the man disappearing and blending into the darkness to the point his breathing and traces disappeared (not that it was there anyway) as if it never existed in the first place.

Cynthia waking up from her stupor shook her head and picked up her sword, look for a bit of trace of the mysterious man, while she was doing that she subconsciously touched her lip and blushed.

"Who is that man?" She asked herself as she slightly blushed remembering about the sensation of his finger to her lips.

She shook her head and ran back to the base.

<Time Skip> 5 years later...

Cynthia who is now (Partially) retired due to some specific reasons and now owns an inn where she enjoyed the peace and quiet with a little bit of awkwardness due to her height, that is taller than most men.

But it doesn't mean, noone asked her out it's quite the opposite actually. Some are handsome noblemen who asked her hand in marriage, dwarves, elves, beastmen, lizarmen, Superior ogres, half giants, dragonewts, etc.

She plainly rejecting them just by using the word, "I will only marry someone who is taller and stronger than me" she said proudly while puffing her (huge)chest with pride.

Everyone who heard that said to themselves, 'Who in their right mind would be able to beat a War hungry maiden like you'

They only slumped their head and sighed and continued drinking their Mead.

Though Cynthia is pretty she has plenty of rivals except the red light district, and one of them are hydra and Roxan(Roxy) and some female mercenaries in the group.

Many female mercenaries were envious of her due to the fact that not only is she strong she's also beautiful and also a great cook, They only sighed.

Sometime later,

A storm entered the city where her tavern (inn) was stationed, it was the near the end of the southern gather or rather just outside the city.

While Cynthia was busy cleaning the table, she noticed the Doorbell ring, and she wore her professional smile and was about to say,

"Hello custom-" before she could even continue the sentence she felt a pressuring aura as the figure opened the door and there she saw a man in black and a seemingly faceless showing only a mouthpiece that has a full set of teeth like a beast.

And the moment she saw that man she thought to herself, 'My destiny~♡'

(AN: Really N***A? That's it?)
