The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring - The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 242

242 – 232. Long live nature!-1

Early morning.

I stood up on the hammock installed between the two trees.

“Haaam…!”

The reason why I ended up sleeping in the forest instead of the village is simple.

Because the village we visited had very few outsiders and no accommodation facilities.

Instead, some people have offered to stay at their homes, but we declined.

Because I didn’t like receiving favors from people I wasn’t very close with.

So we ended up spending the night in a nearby forest.

From noble mtl dot com

“I slept well for the first time in a while.”

I thought that pests and beasts would come and disturb my sleep while I was sleeping.

Unexpectedly, however, the eastern forest was very quiet, and it was so peaceful that there were no insect bites.

Thanks to that, I was able to start the day fresh.

After stretching comfortably, I jumped lightly from the hammock and landed on the soft ground.

Looking at the fact that they don’t feel any presence around them, it seems that Rin and Renee woke up earlier than I did.

Once again I realized that I had slept soundly.

‘I’ve been tired a lot lately… ….’

Since the fight with the Magic Tower Master, he has been constantly moving and grasping Ignit’s trends.

Even night after night, I conceived of a plan to constantly remove Ignit, or overlapped with loved ones.

It wasn’t strange at all to say that the accumulated fatigue just broke out now, and I thought it was fortunate that all the fatigue was removed this time.

‘As I was the last to wake up, I must hurry too.’

First, we decided to wash in the nearby river.

The water of the river flowing in connection with the waterfall of Mt. Cheongwol was clear enough to be transparent.

There is a possibility that some of Ernia’s bodily fluids are mixed, but according to the Green Dragon, her own bodily fluids are very clean and claimed to be edible.

It’s embarrassing, but you can’t just walk around like a bandit.

“Ah! By the way, I guess I’m quite old too. My back hurts these days.”

[It wouldn’t be strange if an old man passing by slapped him on the cheek.]

“That’s what they say.”

A year has passed since I possessed Bern’s body.

A year was a shorter time than I thought, but there were so many things that happened during that time, so it felt closer to 5 years.

But times are honest, so if you say I’m old, I’d be lying.

Even after a year, Vern was still in his early twenties, an age with a bright future ahead of him.

Just thinking about what happened in the past made me suddenly want to play the role of an uncle.

In fact, I haven’t aged at all.

“Maybe it’s because there are more women who promise to love for eternity in the future.”

[Isn’t it a problem created by your personality, who rushes recklessly without thinking about the future?]

“I can’t say no.”

Crusading -!

I made my way across the woods to the river.

Soon, the river, which had been located the previous day, came into view, and an unexpected sight unfolded before my eyes.

“”Ah… !””

“Ah… ….”

I also wondered where Rin and Rene had gone after waking up first, and they were washing up in the river first.

To be precise, he was winding seaweed without even a single thread on it.

Seeing that scene, I automatically and reflexively took a backward step.

I tried to go back the way I came, but before that, I heard their voices.

“Good morning! Teacher seemed to be sleeping soundly, so we were washing first.”

“That’s right.”

“I’m sorry if you offended me. I thought about waking him up, but he seemed tired, so I left him to sleep.”

“It’s okay, I don’t have anything to do with hurting my heart or anything like that.”

“Then, how about taking a bath with us?”

“That would be great! The water is cool, so it feels great!”

“It’s okay. I’ll come back to wash again next time. The two of you should wash yourselves.”

I tried to take them out carefully, but they didn’t give up.

“Didn’t you say you had to move fast today? I think it is better to wash together than to wash separately.”

“Yes! Since we’re between us, there’s no reason to be shy anymore, right? If it’s now, can I clean every nook and cranny of Bern-sama’s body?”

Rin licks her lips with her tongue, and Rene looks at me deeply with a blush.

The two of them, who usually quarrel and fight, were persuading me by showing the best combination this time.

As a result, due to the perfect harmony of the two, I was in a position where I couldn’t get out.

‘Ugh~ I’m exhausted.’

[Tsk tsk.]

It is not an exaggeration to say that the future of a man who has been mixed bathing with two women he loves has already been decided.

The words of the harem that cannot be avoided. After a good night’s sleep, my whole body recovered, but my back was about to be strangled again.

***

I embarked on a journey receiving plenty of love from my lovers.

The destination this time was the jungle beyond Mt. Cheongwol.

According to the information obtained from the village, a special clan has been living in the jungle for generations.

Druid.

It has a setting that worships and follows nature, and it was a job or family that cannot be left out of fantasy.

I thought I didn’t include it because it was never directly mentioned in Adog Choi, but it was nicely hidden like a fantasy world view.

The hypothesis that there might have been more settings that would have been revealed had the author’s serialization been longer was approaching reality.

‘Anyway, is the person who sent me to this world really a writer? ….’

A year has passed and my fundamental question is still unanswered.

I couldn’t figure out the existence or intention that possessed me in the slightest.

Will the day come when you realize all the facts?

I couldn’t be sure, so I just stared straight ahead and walked.

[Contractor.]

‘Huh?’

[I haven’t heard why you’re trying to meet a druid.

‘In the eastern region, the proportion of forests is over 70%. Since there is almost no flat land, it means that you will have to go through a lot to search for the demonic sword.’

For example, the demonic sword could be under the root of a tree or buried somewhere in the middle of a mountain, which is quite troublesome.

With the expectation of a search operation that will consume a lot of time and effort.

I came to think that a druid living in this land might know the forest like the palm of his hand.

Of course, there was a possibility that it wouldn’t.

‘Still, there are many testimonies from villagers that druids can communicate with plants and animals.’

I could expect good information just by asking animals and plants about the demonic sword’s whereabouts from time to time.

For that purpose, I was planning to meet with the Druids, build friendships, and ask for a search.

If there’s just one major problem…….

‘Elves, dwarves, and all the other races I’ve met are all abnormal. Other than that, the conditions for becoming a sword master and the man who is said to be the pinnacle of wizards were insane…….’

Are there any laws against druids?

I was rather worried because it was a druid. Since they were a family that worshiped and followed nature, there were not just one or two things that came to mind.

The place where I am currently located is a crazy different world.

The act of dealing with sexual desire with wild animals and trees might be called communion by druids.

I was afraid because it was a story with enough potential.

As I went through countless things in another world, the image of a druid within me had long ago deteriorated.

In other words, there were no more friendly scenes created by all kinds of animals gathering around the druids.

“Whoa… !”

But from my point of view, I had to understand the druid’s strange sexual desires.

Otherwise we won’t be able to get close.

‘I must try my best… ….’

I entered the jungle, determined never to disrespect, even if I did not understand.

Unlike the existing forests we have seen so far, the grass and trees were more than three times as large.

The number of animals was so great that the whole place was filled with cries, and even when they saw humans, they did not run away or be wary.

It is not strange to call it raw, primordial nature.

“Do people really live in places like this?”

“The terrain is definitely rough for people to live in. If you don’t watch your feet, it won’t be strange if you get hurt at any time.”

“So, doesn’t that make you even more curious?”

“I guess so.”

I don’t know if a druid is a human or an elf.

But the elves also made the forest a good environment for them to live in.

On the other hand, druids do not cause any harm to nature and live in it.

It was a story that was not easily imagined, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes.

That was the moment I was about to start the journey to find the druid.

“Amazing. I never thought guests would come to this land where no one visits.”

A white-haired old man walking out from behind a tree with no sign of him.

He was wearing clothes that seemed to be made from vines and animal hides.

In appearance, he was indeed a bandit grandfather, but the mysterious aura surrounding his body made him somehow look noble.

“Welcome. I can’t give you a grand welcome, but I’ll be happy to welcome you.”

He approached us slowly, making no noise.

Whether he stepped on a tree branch or fallen leaves, he always remained calm.

From his virtuous conduct to his divine aura, it was an indication that he was a druid.

“Fortunately, no one is malicious.”

“Can you see that?”

“I recognize all the animals that live in this forest, including myself. The fact that no one escapes proves your good intentions from the beginning. If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have shown up either.”

I was slightly moved by the druid’s grace and composure.

From noble mtl dot com

It had a different side to the crazy druids I was worried about.

This time it’s different! Even so, I don’t know yet.

Therefore, the only way to be sure is to ask directly.

“I’m sorry to say this in the first place, but have you ever felt lust for animals and plants?”

“…… That sounds funny All previous druids, including me, have never looked at plants and animals with such eyes. Sexual desire is a natural desire to conceive a new life. However, unless you are of the same kind as me, no matter how much you sow seeds, new life will not be created. But if lust is quenched, it is not a natural desire, but impurity itself.”

“Oh, oh oh… !!”

This time it was normal.

A perfectly normal druid.

Even when I threw out polite questions, they accepted them with great generosity.

What a true druid!

“However, the unquenchable lust can be quenched in a good way.”

“Yes… ?”

“If you mix semen with animal feed or plant manure, which are inherently lacking in nutrients, a nutritious meal is completed…… !”

Before the old man finished speaking, I kicked him.
