118. Regrets of the Hero Party (5)
Doil of the Sylvester Knights.
Hare’s opponent was decided, but he didn’t like the current situation.
‘Why did the captain of the knights do this to me?’
Since he was young, Doyle has heard a lot of remarks.
He is strong and has a strong physique.
He went to the capital after hearing from his family that he would become a great knight.
And, as if that statement were true. Doyle was in an overwhelming position among newcomers.
By the way.
‘To see me deal with a girl like that. That’s funny.’
Doil, holding a large greatsword with both hands, met eyes with Hare, who was standing across from him.
His face immediately turned red.
Hare was too deadly for an adolescent boy.
‘Your skills may not be very good, but your ears are cute. His face is small, and his body is delicate. It’s like a weak squirrel.’
A hare that stimulates the protective instinct.
She smiled and waved her hand in the direction of her uncle.
“Ah, mister… ! I will definitely win… ! Please keep watching… ! Lol… !”
A bright smile.
A happy expression.
Doyle falls in love with Hare again.
However, when she finished her greeting and met her eyes again.
Doyle’s heart thumped.
‘What, the expression suddenly changed… I got sharper… ?’
Where did the kid who was laughing a moment ago go?
Hare faced Doil with an expressionless expression.
Her eyes were on Lee Jun-woo behind him, not on Do-il.
It is said that Doyle was not even in her mind from the beginning.
Hare muttered to Doyle in a low, cold tone.
“There, you… “
“Eh, huh? Me?”
“Why do you keep smiling while looking at me… ? You feel bad… I’m not taking care of my skin like this to make you smile… ? It’s for my uncle… Why are you laughing… ?”
“… My, am I offended?”
Kung-
The mind of a young adolescent boy.
I am hurt.
Doyle murmured to protect his last pride.
“My, where do I feel bad-“
“I don’t like it when people other than you smile at me… Upset… “
“… “
Koogu Palace-
Doyle collapsed to the last bit of pride.
The pounding heart turns into a thumping heart.
While holding the greatsword in both hands, Doyle muttered lowly.
“… I tried to look at it because it was cute, but I would never look at it.”
“… “
Hare didn’t respond, and took one of her small neck daggers from her pocket.
Hare quickly moves her eyes to check the other person.
The moment the two looked at each other for 10 seconds.
“Well then, you two! Start sparring in a way that does not cause life-threatening attacks!”
Beep-!
With the sound of the whistle, the sparring began.
As usual, Doyle ran forward using his large body and strength.
“Ahh-!!”
Doyle cuts through the side with a huge greatsword.
The dust rose and he couldn’t see, but Doyle could feel his fingertips.
‘I felt like I was hit by a bayonet. Did you do it? Had he been hit with so much force, his bones would have been shattered. Was I too harsh?’
Doyle feels a little guilty.
However, let the dust dissipate and the field of vision become clearer.
Doyle couldn’t help but be startled.
“Oh, did you feel the touch?! What is this?”
There was a piece of leather hanging from the tip of the greatsword, and I couldn’t see where Hare went.
That leather is the outerwear Hare was wearing just before.
Doyle’s mistake was that he mistook it for a human body because it was made of leather.
“Oh, where are you!? Because he is as fast as this squirrel!!”
The moment Doyle turned his attention to find the missing Hare.
It was as if the match had already been decided.
Hare muttered slowly as he descended from the air.
“Right-handed starting from holding a greatsword… From the start, my right shoulder was on the right side… Perhaps a crosscut… If you have this much information, the old man will praise you… ? hehehe, I wish I could compliment you… “
A hare descends from the air with a terrifying voice.
The landing point is behind Doyle.
Hare started to act quickly, holding the dagger straight.
“… First of all, Dalian has to be won.”
Thu.
Ribs.
Liver.
Pyeongchi.
With an expressionless expression, Hare stabbed Doyle in various vital points in an instant.
It wasn’t as fast as in practice, but it only attacked the exact location.
Doyle covered his mouth with his hand from the overwhelming pain and nausea.
“Ooh, ooh ooh… !!”
Push-
No matter how strong and gigantic his body may be, Doyle is a human with vital points.
Looking at the situation that happened in an instant, the guide shouted resolutely.
“Su, winner. Yuriana Hare. Grants Adventurer Grade Gold… “
“Wow!”
Hare passed by without paying attention to the fallen Doyle.
In her eyes, there was only the uncle.
“If it’s gold, did you do well… ? Oh, uncle… ! How was I… ? Well done… ?”
Lee Jun-woo lightly stroked Ha-re’s hair.
“Good work, Hare. If the opponent’s grade was higher, the gold award would have been possible.”
“Heh heh heh… ! It’s thanks to what my uncle taught me… !”
Hare rubbed her head in Lee Jun-woo’s hand and enjoyed her victory.
“I did well… ?”
Lee Jun-woo, seeing Hare like that, reminded me of the sparring that just happened.
The speed and accuracy of grasping the other party’s information and executing it immediately.
‘As expected, comparing a warrior’s party with children of the same age… ‘
That must be nonsense.
A promising knight from the Knights of Sylvester ended up like that to Hare.
Perhaps it would be rude to the warrior party to even compare.
‘And Luna’s fight… ‘
I don’t think you need to look closely.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to imagine the image of Luna, the hero, losing.
The difference in skill between the warrior party and the knight was so great.
***
“Luna is platinum. Hare is gold.”
As expected, Luna’s sparring was easily decided.
What is certain is that it took less than 30 seconds.
The opposing knight is well-balanced, and he seemed to have talent even at his age.
I was defeated by Luna with pure brute force.
“But, is it okay to win this easily, Irina?”
“… I didn’t expect to be defeated this easily, but that’s okay. Those guys are on the strong side of the rookies and needed to teach them the bitter taste of defeat.”
“I’m glad then, but I don’t think I’ll get too frustrated.”
The moment they thought they were the best.
If you suddenly taste a bitter defeat, you may let go of everything you were doing in shock.
There were quite a few cases where talented knights changed their jobs to adventurers or turned into street thugs due to such a defeat.
“Still, there is no need to worry, Jun. If they were the ones who would give up after such a defeat, I wouldn’t even respond. Rather, it would be better to target you guys.”
“… Are you aiming for a warrior party?”
That’s not a big deal.
Even if the skills of the warriors party are so.
It’s better not to target mental state.
I answered Irina seriously.
“Never tell them to target the hero party.”
“Why?”
“… Don’t do it anyway Not good for education.”
Irina didn’t seem to understand what I was saying.
Is it because I said it seriously? She
She nodded and said yes.
As I was having such a light conversation with Irina, her guide brought her necklace from afar.
I called Luna and Hare who were sitting quietly in her chair.
“Luna, Hare! Come here, now is the time to really leave.”
“Okay, mister!”
“That, I’ll be there soon… !”
Ododo-
The two heard my voice and ran straight away.
It was a very troublesome expression.
“I barely lived because the uncle called me! They are really annoying!”
“No, that’s right… ! Those idiots kept talking to us and it was annoying… !”
“Stupids?”
Are you referring to the children in the article?
I turned my head to check the direction they were facing.
The two had their eyes fixed on Luna and Hare.
‘I wasn’t disappointed, but it was love at first sight.’
Okay.
These two must have outstanding looks among their peers.
It’s only natural that the heart moves.
I lightly asked Luna and Hare.
“Do you like those two?”
Luna and Hare screamed in disgust.
“What are you talking about, mister! Why do I like such a child! I’m older than myself! A trustworthy person is good!”
“Oh, that’s right, mister… ! I-I never liked those kids… ! I-I hate it so much… !”
“… It’s good that you don’t have to answer so strongly.”
The two react as if they were stabbed by sharp thorns.
Because you seem to really hate my question.
I decided to stop asking the two of them and leave quickly.
Since Saten and Estiya are waiting for you at home.
It was because it was better to complete the mission quickly.
“We’ll let it go, Irina.”
“Okay, thanks and goodbye. I have something to tell you before I go, could you listen to me for a second?”
Say something.
I put my ear to listen to what Irina said.
From noble mtl dot com
Irina whispered quietly in her hard tone.
“… The movement of the capital is unusual, so be careful, Jun. I’m telling you this only, but the Order and the Knights are shaking. I’ll have to watch the trend for a while, but… You’d better be careful.”
After Irina said that, she put on a blank expression as if nothing had happened.
It seemed that she meant not to speak of this.
I said goodbye to Irina and left her adventurer’s guild.
“We can go on our mission now. Hare before that. What did you want to say earlier?”
“Ah, ah, that… ! As for what I saw in the market… !”
Hare said something I never could have imagined.
“I saw the devil in the market… ! The demon lord called Grid… ! There were bandages all over her body… !!”
“… What?”
Grid.
The Demon Lord of Greed that I couldn’t extinguish last time.
An automatic thought popped up in my head.
‘… How did Hare survive after meeting the Demon King?’
Obviously, if Grid puts his mind to it.
You could have easily killed the thief in the hero’s party?
I wonder if Hare’s words were a kind of fuse for a bomb.
New letters began to appear before my eyes.
[Hare met the demon king and returned safely without any injuries. And, the demon king is hiding around and looking for an opportunity. If you go on a mission, you will encounter the demon lord. Will Junwoo still go on a mission?]
[1. Goes.]
[2. Does not go.]
If you can’t destroy it, you’d better not go.
There is no need to face the demon lord and risk it.
However.
‘No. 1.’
After checking both futures, I had no choice but to choose number 1.
There is only one reason.
It was because of Luna and Hare’s growth.
‘Even if it’s a thorny road to me. It doesn’t matter if it’s the growth of the hero’s party.’
There are more reasons to do the mission than to give up the mission.
Now that the demon king is weak, this is an opportunity for the warrior party to grow.
‘The demon lord uses that guy as a stepping stone for the warrior party to take off.’
So I chose option 1, where the Demon King of Greed is waiting.
