The Military Chef of a Ruined World - Chapter 391

Episode 391 Return (3)

A story Howard brought up.

After hearing that story, Shin Young-jun looked surprised for a while.

“……thanks.”

After a while, his expression calmed down and he said that.

“What, it’s normal for seniors and juniors to give and take. Senior, I’ll keep thinking about this too… … .”

“Yeah. Me too. If I ever come to any realizations, I’ll let you know.”

like that.

A conversation between two seemingly important people has come to a close.

and.

“… … Cooking? What does senior and junior mean… … ?

“Isn’t this about college?”

The three people from the Northern Branch were silently listening to the conversation.

I was confused and wondering what this was all about.

“Mr. Youngjun.”

at that time.

Han Yi-seo opened her mouth carefully with a serious expression.

“You told me last time, right? That you were hiding something from us.”

“yes.”

“You said you’d tell me what it was later, but… … The incomprehensible conversation just now, and the sudden mention of leaving.”

“… … .”

“You’re still hiding it. Can’t you tell me now?”

The three people’s gaze turned towards Shin Young-jun.

He laughed lightly.

Damn… … .

He resumed walking and opened his mouth.

“Do you remember what I said back then?’

“What are you… saying?”

“I’m saying that I came from beyond the demon realm.”

In that regard.

Park Joong-goo said with a light smile.

“How could I forget! At the time, I thought it was either a lie or a monster from the demon realm. Of course, I believe it now. The appearance you showed me was something that only someone who had been inside that demon realm could have shown.”

“Oh, thank you for trusting me.”

To those words of Park Jung-gu.

Shin Young-jun scratched his head as if embarrassed and said.

“I have never been inside a demon realm.”

“……huh?”

“To be exact, it’s not like there’s nothing at all. But still, if you think about it, it probably won’t take more than a week.”

To his words:

The expressions of the three people become blank.

“What is that… … ?”

It wasn’t that they blindly believed Shin Young-jun’s words.

The reason I came to believe to some extent that he came from the devil’s realm was none other than this.

“Sister Lee Seo?”

Han Yiseo.

Because she had the power to perceive the truth of others.

“What, what is this?”

“Miss Lee Seo, what’s going on?”

“Yes, it’s true.”

and…….

“Last time I told you about coming from beyond the demon realm… … and now I’m saying that I’ve only been in the demon realm for a week.”

“… … ?”

“They’re both true. But… … how… … ?”

That skill.

It is still in use today.

“I’m not lying… … but to be honest, I did lie.”

“… … .”

“Now that I think about it, the most difficult thing I did when I came here was to deceive you all. Even though it was an unavoidable situation… … I am sorry for deceiving you.”

Damn… … .

Let’s walk a few more steps.

Only then did people notice.

‘The end of the forest.’

A small forest located near the northern branch.

They reached the end.

and.

“I don’t know if you can call it an apology, but I’ll show you.”

“Show me, what… … ?”

Shin Young-jun said something like that.

Went out of the forest.

“What have I been hiding?”

and.

People could see it the moment they followed it out of the forest.

“… … !”

“This is… … !”

A fortress so massive that it’s strange how I never noticed it was there.

And lined up below the fortress floating in the sky.

‘Soldiers… … .’

Countless.

The figures of people in military uniforms.

***

Forest of the night.

An unrealistically huge fortress floating in the sky.

A gigantic air battleship that would be believable even if it were a small island.

And that wasn’t all for the battleships.

Combat helicopters flying around as if escorting the surrounding area.

The wind blowing from the helicopter blows the grass on the ground.

The flashlights from helicopters and warships illuminated the ground dizzily.

And below that.

“Soldiers… … !”

Hundreds and thousands of soldiers of that legion lined up in orderly formation.

Standing at attention.

Park Jung-gu was shocked when he saw that sight.

“When did the Legion’s fortress get so close… …!”

Although he was embarrassed.

I quickly reached for the axe on my back.

‘I knew the legion was moving around the Gyeonggi-do area.’

This was initially notified to the association.

They were going around slaughtering monsters that had settled in major strongholds of humanity before the destruction.

In particular, what they are focusing on is recapturing the monsters that have taken up residence in the military base.

‘The reason was that, as a soldier, I was collecting the bodies of the soldiers who died in battle… … .’

A force with overwhelming power

The association silently accepted the request from those forces.

So the legion was moving around the entire Gyeonggi Province.

Still.

‘I have always respected the association’s territory so far.’

It also acknowledged that the legion was roaming around Gyeonggi Province.

Because they have always respected the stronghold of the Association.

but.

Not now.

‘This is right next to our northern branch… … .’

Unlike before.

There were no requests for visits from the legionnaires.

They say we are the same people.

Different forces.

Near the main strongholds of those other forces.

Not just those soldiers.

‘To that fortress!’

He appeared leading a huge war weapon.

Even.

‘I didn’t even hear that fortress coming!’

Without even making a sound!

Even if it was late in the night, the approach of the fortress could be discovered.

It’s impossible not to hear the sound of something approaching.

No, even though it was night, it was strange that I didn’t notice such a huge fortress approaching so close.

‘It’s the ability to hide sound and appearance!’

And if I say this the other way around:

Those soldiers, of course.

They were approaching the northern branch while hiding their approach.

“Damn, things are going so well!”

Park Jung-gu turned around in a panic.

If that legion betrayed them, it would be no ordinary matter.

‘But we are still far outnumbered. If the entire association fights with all its might… …!’

To inform the Legion of their betrayal and deal with them.

I was thinking of going back to the branch in a hurry, but… … .

“… …Brother Jung-gu.”

There was one thing holding him back.

A small tree trunk that suddenly grows out of the ground.

“I don’t think you have to go.”

“……what?”

The person who created that tree trunk.

Kang Jae-ho muttered blankly.

“I see… … That’s what it was.”

“What are you talking about… … .”

“It is exactly as the former chairman said. We had no need to antagonize the Legion.”

Let’s look back, bewildered by those words.

Jung-gu was able to discover an absurd sight.

“Hey, Youngjun!?”

I, Shin Young-jun.

Despite coming out of the forest and seeing those soldiers.

“Stop!”

Towards those soldiers.

I was walking along as if nothing had happened.

‘Oh my god, what on earth are you thinking… …!’

Park Joong-gu was looking at the scene in confusion… … .

Right then.

Damn… … .

Among them.

Several soldiers walked forward.

‘They are… …!’

and.

The humans of the Association were startled when they saw the mark on the uniform.

‘Four rows of sticks… … .’

‘Sergeant.’

It was a short time though.

The association also had its own information about the legion.

A representative example of this is the rank of the legion.

They say that even a private in that corps is considered a high-ranking strongman.

Gulp… … .

‘Even the giant warrior I saw was only a sergeant.’

But you’re a sergeant.

That wasn’t all.

‘At that time, in that warrior… … even the shooter.’

Extraordinary strength fighters who fought fiercely against giants that were thought to be impossible to defeat with a human body.

Those who made them realize that there were people with such power besides the president of the association and Shin Young-jun.

And then after that.

Gulp… … .

“The ruler of the legions… … .”

A person wearing the rank of lieutenant.

The commander of the corps, who had such overwhelming charisma that even Jo Beom-seok had to break out in a cold sweat.

Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok was approaching.

and.

Lieutenant Kim Hyeon-seok was holding something in both hands.

It was only after a while that people could tell that it was the outer garment of a military uniform.

As I was watching him, wondering why he was walking towards me carrying something like that.

“It’s been a while, Youngjun.”

‘… … ?’

The king of that legion.

He approached Shin Young-jun with a friendly expression as if he was going out to greet him.

“You’ve really worked hard.”

‘uh……?’

Putting the military uniform on his shoulders.

I brought that up.

***

“Long time no see! Corporal Shin!”

“Yeah. Why do you seem to have grown taller?”

“Hehehe. It’s hard to have to re-measure my military uniform size every time.”

A giant warrior with a murderous intent who seemed ready to devour that giant.

“You seem to have lost a lot of weight since I last saw you.”

“Don’t be ridiculous, I thought I was going to die from the pain.”

A shooter who poked holes in the body of a giant that even ignored shells.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“I was just watching in the end. It seems like you had a hard time, hyung?”

“Ugh… … To be honest, I’m having a hard time even standing right now.”

and.

Even that man, the sergeant, with a rather pale face.

Powerful people who had more power than the association president they knew.

I talk to Shin Young-jun in a friendly manner, as if I were a friend I have known for years.

‘What the heck is that… … .’

A sight that was absolutely unbelievable.

When people are confused.

“Sergeant… … .”

“huh?”

“Sergeant Shin Young-jun.”

Kang Jae-ho seemed to have noticed something.

He muttered in a small voice.

“Mr. Jaeho? What is that?”

“… … That’s what Youngjun said when we were attacked by monsters at the barrier.”

It was a sudden attack.

General Cho Beom-seok lost his commanding capacity due to his grandson’s serious injury.

The Association’s expeditionary force was in danger of annihilation.

If Shin Young-jun hadn’t stepped forward and taken command from Jo Beom-seok.

The association, already weakened by losing its elite, would have ended up losing its expeditionary force to monsters.

And then,

“Mr. Youngjun introduced himself as Sergeant Shin Youngjun.”

actually.

Kang Jae-ho had doubts about the title of sergeant even then.

-What’s the matter, Sergeant?

-I told you that I got into this situation when I was on my last vacation, right? It was before my discharge ceremony. First of all, I was promoted to sergeant.

But it was absurd.

The southern branch under Jo Beom-seok had a similar structure to a military unit.

I thought he was just using his status as a soldier to replace Jo Beom-seok and let it slide.

but.

“That wasn’t it.”

It was a moment when I suddenly had to command others in an already urgent situation.

In that situation.

People, regardless of their will.

“It’s just… … that name was more familiar.”

They tend to choose the option that is more familiar to them.

“Without realizing it… I ended up using a more familiar name.”

“……ah.”

Shin Young-jun said that since the day of destruction, he has been living only beyond Monsterland.

He also said that he had not even spent a week in Monsterland.

The condition for both of those statements to be true is… … .

Just one.

“Youngjun. You are… … .”

“yes.”

Han Yi-seo muttered with an expression that seemed to have reached enlightenment.

“I… … beyond the black barrier.”

Beyond that Monsterland, at the end.

A place that was said to be absolutely insurmountable… …even the barrier of heat has been overcome.

“You came from the legion.”

“yes.”

If you say you’re from Gangwon-do.

That what he said was not a lie.
