A Stuffed Cheonma in my Head - Chapter 236



Only Noblemtl

Episode 236. Nice to meet you

“huh?”

Linda, who had been sleeping soundly, leaning against the chair, opened her eyes half-asleep.

Dreaming.

I slowly blinked my sleep-filled eyes.

“Uh… I thought I heard something… … .”

As Linda rubbed her eyes and came to her senses, several voices began to flow into her ears.

It seems like they were in the middle of a conversation.

“Princess. What brings you here?”

“Oh, your highness. When we’re alone, please speak freely.”

“… … .”

“Oh, the Sherwood people are very at ease with me. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“Really?”

A voice that felt relatively light answered the man’s heavy, blunt voice.

It was the Dauphin’s voice.

“What can I say? Our Princess Lilia ordered us to do so, so we are simply following her orders. Our new leader even speaks informally to us.”

“You’re talking informally to Princess Maia?”

“Well, our new leader has a rather open personality. The princess was the one who asked him first.”

“… … I see. By the way, it’s been a while, Dauphin.”

“Yes, it is an honor to meet you again, our Gray Lion Duke Elsevier. I am glad to see you looking well.”

“Is this the first time since you stole a bottle of Gillentine 21 Year Old from my display case last time?”

“… … .”

Squeak-

I heard the window open.

A deep voice followed.

“I won’t hold you responsible, so sit down. There are more pressing matters at hand right now.”

“Hmm. Broad-mindedness and boldness. These are the virtues that a northern monarch who protects Maia from the demon hordes should possess.”

“Sit down and keep your mouth shut.”

“Okay.”

Slap-

There was a sound of Doppelganger sitting down on a road chair.

“Schmidt. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you too.”

“… … .”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Can you translate it for me?”

“They’re telling me to eat some shit.”

The sound of Dauphin’s giggling laughter mingled with the noise of Schmidt’s panicked hands and desperate explanations.

A deep voice followed, followed by a sigh, as if the explanation had been understood.

“I know that Dauphin was joking, so stop it.”

“… … .”

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you too. Is that girl Sherwood too? I think it’s the first time I’ve seen her.”

“Oh, this time my younger brother was promoted to captain and a few new members joined. This is one of them.”

“It looks really difficult.”

“Since when did Sherwood care about age? If you were going to be that picky, Schmidt and Cyril wouldn’t have joined the mercenary group either.”

“I see.”

“I heard from my younger brother that you’re not as young as you look.”

“Um. What’s your name?”

Linda tried to open her eyes wide, trying to fight off the sleepiness at the sound of her name being called.

As he looked around, he saw a man like a lion sitting on a large chair across from him, looking at him.

Linda blinked and pointed at herself.

“me?”

The peacock nodded.

“I’m Linda.”

“Linda?”

“huh.”

Linda said, looking around.

“Where did the devil go?”

“devil?”

The Duke looked at the Dauphin.

“Oh, that’s what Linda calls our new leader. I think Blake called him the Red-Eyed Demon.”

“Is the new captain from Blake?”

“That’s not it. Your Highness, you must have seen it too. You just don’t remember it.”

“I?”

The Duke said that it couldn’t be true.

“I remember all the Sherwood members. No, it would be more accurate to say I can’t forget them. They have such strong personalities.”

“It wasn’t the time for my younger brother to stand out.”

“Does that mean you were weak?”

“Well, back then.”

“now?”

“He came back as a monster within half a year.”

“You’re a monster.”

Dauphin threw back his head and burst into laughter.

“The owner of the faded silver trophy has returned as the owner of a sparkling platinum trophy after half a year, hahaha!”

The duke frowned.

“That’s nonsense.”

Dauphin replied with a grin.

“Because he’s a reckless guy.”

The Duke asked as if he did not understand.

“You seem to have accepted him as the new leader of Sherwood. Do the others do the same?”

“of course.”

Dauphin nodded confidently.

“At least everyone gathered so far is following my brother.”

“Why? Do you think he’s the man to succeed Guston? Does that mean he’s strong?”

“Of course, he is not as strong as the captain. For now, I would say he is on par with the other members.”

“however?”

Dauphin smiled.

“But when I see the guy’s monstrous growth spurt, I often think that maybe he’s not far from catching up.”

“Just that?”

The peacock asked, stroking his thick, ash-colored beard.

“Just because it has great potential doesn’t mean it will be able to keep its place.”

It is none other than Guston’s vacancy.

The Duke knew.

What kind of guys are these Sherwood guys?

Each and every one of them was like a walking natural disaster.

Not only are they strong, but they are also crazy and you can’t even predict where they will go.

As with Guston the Greatsword and the Red Witch, you won’t be able to control those unruly men unless you have a decent amount of force and charisma.

“Your Majesty the Duke.”

Dauphin called him with a deep smile.

“Do you know why the Sherwood Mercenaries were disbanded?”

“I heard that one of the members fell off the foggy cliff before.”

Dauphin chuckled.

“That’s him.”

The peacock’s eyebrows, which had never changed expression until now, rose.

“… … What?”

Even the princess and her guardian knight, who had been listening quietly, opened their eyes wide.

Dauphin admired the surprised expressions as if he could die of joy.

“Kuuuuu… I find it hard to believe, too. But what if I don’t believe it, since the living proof has come to me on its own feet?”

The princess asked with surprised eyes.

“Dauphin, is that true?”

“Yes, Princess. That’s why he’s putting Sherwood back together.”

“ah……!”

The princess looked as if she had been hit in the back of the head.

Whatever.

Linda walked around the room looking for Ashvan, then went to the window and looked outside.

Sniff sniff – I smelled it.

Soon her gaze turned to the huge wall behind the city.

“……devil.”

I could tell instinctively.

That the devil is beyond that wall.

There was no hesitation.

“Tchcha.”

Linda immediately tried to jump out the window… … .

Tub.

I was grabbed by the back of my neck by Schmitt, who had approached me silently.

Linda looked back at Schmidt, dangling in the air outside the window.

Schmidt shook his head, holding Linda with one hand.

His golden eyes had a determined glow.

“no?”

Nod nod.

“But. The devil is beyond that big wall.”

Schmidt said with his lips.

‘wait.’

Linda blinked.

“The devil told you to wait?”

Nod nod.

“Okay. Okay. I’ll wait.”

Schmidt returned to his chair with Linda.

Meanwhile, the conversation continued.

The Duke said.

“So, Lily.”

“yes.”

“It looks like you came secretly.”

“It just so happened.”

Lilia answered with a shameless face.

The peacock’s expression hardened.

“You must have heard the news. Why did you come? To such a dangerous place.”

Lilia smiled brightly.

“I have brought a warrior who will save the kingdom of Maya!”

“……brave?”

“Yes! I got that feeling the moment I saw it.”

The Duke also knew about that ‘feeling’ that was difficult to explain with the princess’s words.

As far as he knew, her ‘intuition’ had never been wrong.

“That warrior.”

“Yes, this is Ashvan, the new leader of the Sherwood Mercenaries!”

“Ashvan… Ashvan… … .”

The new leader of Sherwood, who revived the Sherwood Mercenaries.

As it turns out, the reason the mercenary group was disbanded was because a member fell from the foggy cliff.

But the man who returned from there alive became the owner of the platinum medal.

And Princess Lilia even called him the warrior who would save the kingdom of Maia.

‘What kind of guy is he?’

My curiosity was piqued.

It had been a very long time since someone had caught the Duke’s interest.

But that’s that.

The Duke, who had been lost in thought for a moment while stroking his beard, looked at Lilia again.

“So, why, princess?”

In that case, he meant that he would only send that warrior, so why did he come here himself, putting himself at risk?

Princess Lilia answered him with a big smile.

“It’s a scam!”

“… … Boosting morale?”

“Yes! If the princess of the Kingdom of Maya fights together, wouldn’t the soldiers gain strength?”

“Fight together?”

“Yes! I practiced my swordsmanship hard! Would you like to see it?”

“no.”

The Duke sighed.

“Lily.”

“yes?”

“You will never go beyond the barrier.”

“Ugh. Why?”

“There is no need to do that.”

“Yes? You don’t need it?”

“Even without fighting directly, just coming here will boost the morale of the soldiers.”

“Still! I want to fight!”

Perhaps thinking that further conversation was pointless, the Duke turned his gaze to Princess Lilia’s guardian knight standing behind her.

“Mond Sir.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“I’ll make it hard for you.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Don’t worry.”

“Why! I can fight well! Sir Monde! Sir Monde, tell me. Sir Monde knows my skills, right? Okay?”

“princess…….”

The Duke sighed again and turned his gaze towards the Dauphin.

“So, what about that Guston guy?”

Dauphin shrugged.

“Who knows? Whether they will come or not. Only the person involved knows.”

“… … Is that so.”

The peacock spoke, rubbing his eyes.

“By the way, there was a Sherwood guy who came here a while ago and started causing trouble.”

“I know.”

Dauphin looked out the window and smiled slightly.

“We might have met and exchanged greetings by now.”

I had already heard from the maid that Ashvan had left the room to go to the bathroom and disappeared without a trace.

* * *

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Hit by Ashvan’s kick, Hearts flew horizontally, breaking trees in the forest one by one.

Ashvan watched the figure moving away in an instant, knocking down the tree, then closed his eyes slightly and took a deep breath with a very relieved expression.

“Ugh… Haa… … .”

The cold air beyond the barrier refreshed my heart.

Ashvan slowly opened his eyes and muttered softly with a smile on his face.

“Hehehe, this is exciting.”

Then he took a step back.

Phew!

A sharp pillar of ice rose where he had been.

“Master, did you see? Sorou often launches surprise attacks like this when his opponents let their guard down. I’ve even avoided the cold, so there’s no way I wouldn’t be able to avoid this.”

Ashvan, who had been muttering to himself, looked to one side and flicked his sword.

“What are you doing? You’re not coming in.”

Then, from that direction, Hearts rushed at me like a beast wielding a sword.

As I ran, one particular step was a little harder than the others.

It was a very subtle difference.

Other people might not have noticed anything strange, but Ashvan, who was watching closely, suddenly lit up his eyes and took another step back.

Crunch!

Almost simultaneously, another pillar of ice rose from where he had been.

Ashvan immediately swung his sword horizontally, cutting through two ice pillars, then kicked them away from the rushing Hartz.

Harts saw two ice pillars collapsing towards him and charged at them, smashing them with his head.

“Euryaaaa!”

Ashvan grinned at the sight.

“Ignorant blockhead.”

“shut up!”

Soon, the two faced off.

Zzeng! Chae-chaeng! Chaeng!

The swords clashed and sparks flew.

Hearts swung his sword like a wild beast, and his opponent responded without fail.

He slowly backed away, his violent sword swings flowing out one by one.

Harts opened his eyes wide.

Because shedding a sword was usually not a difficult technique.

It was a highly difficult technique that required complete understanding of the trajectory of the sword the opponent was swinging.

Because if there is even the slightest misalignment, you will inevitably see blood.

But when you first split the sword, you immediately shed the swords one by one?

His own sword, which was famous for being rough and unformed to the point of being called the Beast Sword?

Even Hats himself swings his sword completely based on instinct, so it’s impossible to predict where it will go.

What the heck kind of nonsense is this?

At that moment, the blue eyes of the left sorority sparkled, and he swung his left hand, enveloped in blue energy, from bottom to top.

Then, suddenly, a large wall made of ice rose up behind Ashvan.

Thump thump!

“Huh.”

Ashvan’s back hit the ice wall.

No longer able to step back and shed the sword.

It was something that blocked the way out.

Harts didn’t miss that opportunity.

Woof!

He swung his sword horizontally, its aura dark yellow.

Kwak-kak!

The beast sword did not distinguish between the guy and the wall.

It completely cut through the ice wall behind him.

A wall of ice split in half came crashing down ahead.

Kwarrrr!

The ice and accumulated snow rose like a cloud, obscuring the view.

Harts took a step back and watched the scene.

Sorou asked.

“Who is that?”

Harts answered.

“I avoided the black one. It didn’t feel like it was being cut.”

“Did you get out?”

“Well, I don’t know about that.”

This was an attack with two things in mind.

The first thing is to cut it down with the ice wall.

The second was to be crushed by the weight of the yellow aura and fall into the ice wall pouring down in front of him.

If you get caught up in that, you won’t be successful.

A normal person would have been crushed to death by the enormous weight of ice.

Kkurung… … .

The hazy fog that had risen like a cloud slowly settled, and what was visible was… … .

“uh?”

It was the silhouette of a man standing intact among the rubble.

The bastard’s bloodshot eyes flashed through the hazy mist.

“… … !”

The guy muttered softly and waved his hand.

“All black rain.”

Black spears floating in the sky rained down on him.

I don’t even know when it was floating.

“What is this!”

They were floating in the sky without even noticing because they couldn’t feel the mana.

Their eyes only stared at the wreckage where the bastard was.

“damage!”

Hearts flew away from the pouring black rain.

Hearts ran in a zigzag pattern, dodging the pouring black rain as much as possible, while Sorou created a barrier out of ice to block the black rain that was unable to be dodged.

Wedge!

At that moment, something shiny flew in and Hearts instinctively raised his sword to slash it away.

Bang!

The capture and the response occurred almost simultaneously.

It was a stunning display of kinetic vision and reflexes.

What did you shoot?

The feeling of being kicked out was quite heavy.

If I hadn’t kicked it out, it would have pierced through the flesh.

When I looked at where the shiny thing had come from, I saw that the thing was holding a bunch of ice shards it had picked up from the debris in one hand, while holding one of them between its fingers in the other hand.

The guy chuckled.

“This is what is called a meteor. You idiot.”

“That crazy kid!”

“Hahahaha! Try avoiding this too!”

The guy was shooting ice bullets like crazy.

Hearts and Sorou dodged, parried, and blocked the endless black rain and the ice shards it shot at them.

“Huh! Huh!”

The guy looked at Harts, who was gasping for breath and shaking his hands, with a pleased expression.

“How was it, did you have fun? Are you feeling a little more relaxed?”

“Hats said in a growl.

“This little punk.”

“Okay, looks like you had enough fun.”

The bastard laughed heartily and drew his sword.

“Then let’s start playing for real.”

Ttuk-tuk

The black sword he was holding suddenly froze white.

Hwaruk-

In the other hand, a blue flame burst out.

Sorou’s eyes widened, and Hats’ mouth opened halfway in shock.

“This is crazy… … .”

“Hahaha!”

Hats and Sorou were attacked by demons who had been through the Ice Hell and the Super-Hot Hell.
