The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave - The War Hero Raises a Demon Slave chapter 34

34 – Get permission to work side-by-side!(5)

Around sunrise.

Ainor was returning tired from an all-night patrol and ran into Dynave Joe coming from the other side.

“Hey, Einer. I went home.”

“Has Ael been there?”

“Don’t even talk, Captain Einer. Our captain is so surprised that he urinates… Ugh!”

“Close your mouth!”

The Dynave hastily kicked the shin of their teammates.

Looking down, Einor noticed that the crotch of Dynave’s trousers had thickened.

“Anyway… I was at home. He must have thought I was a thief.”

Einer burst into laughter as Ael told her about opening her arms and rushing at her.

“Housewives roll their eyes when they see other people rummaging through kitchen shelves.”

“What? A housewife? What bullsh*t? Not a slave?”

“No, that’s what I mean. He’s a kid who puts a lot of meaning into cooking for me.”

“Is that so? He told me to cheer up.”

“Ha, yes. Okay. Thank you.”

Behind her, Kira squinted her eyes and poked her elbow at Toby.

“A housewife, a housewife.”

“Yes. Do you want to get married for real later?”

“Then it’s fine with us.”

“Why do you like it?”

“It’s stupid. Think about it. Rather than Ael being freed and going to the north, shouldn’t we eat delicious food more often if we stay at the captain’s house?”

“The captain is also good at cooking.”

“Ael is better.”

“That’s right. But is it when Kira-senpai is talking about marriage?”

“Yah!”

“Ugh!”

After parting ways with Dyna Bene, Einer and his crew headed straight to the kitchen.

I was tired from the all-night patrol, but I was careful that Einer never skipped a meal.

Einer always eats breakfast no matter how trashy he is.

“I especially miss Ael’s coleslaw today.”

Marco murmured as he picked out the fins that had gotten mixed up in the skin and threw them on the floor.

“I can’t help it now. I’ll invite you as the first guest when the situation is over and I get permission to work.”

“Good.”

Looking forward to that day, Einer and his crew gobbled up trash fish porridge.

* * * * *

After firmly locking the door, Ael headed down the hill to the market.

Einer’s fluttery clothes were tied with a leather belt tightly around his waist, and a small bag was slung by his side.

Today the weather was sunny and white clouds were floating in the blue sky.

The hustle and bustle of the hustle and bustle of the waterfront and markets and the sprawling white and blue urban landscape.

Innumerable ships float in the emerald-colored sea, and the horizon of the endless southern ocean is like milky milk.

Ael spread his arms as if to embrace the gentle wind blowing from the close yet distant southern ocean.

A murder has occurred and security forces have been called in, but everything is as usual.

This place is called the pearl of the southern part of the continent, right?

That’s right. This place is truly a beautiful jewel.

“Whoa!”

Ael, who was in a good mood, ran down the remaining hill road screaming with his arms wide open.

Ael, who ran all the way to his market, stopped for a moment, hugged his chest, and gasped for breath.

This lump of flesh oscillates every time it runs, so it hurts.

My shoulders and back hurt.

I’m sure the owner thinks it’s disgusting, right?

From noble mtl dot com

Ah, why do I sweat like this again?

Ael took out his handkerchief from the small bag he carried and wiped his forehead and nape.

Then shall we go shopping?

Master, Mr. Ryan, Mr. Marco, Mr. Kira, Mr. Toby, the dwarf captain.

There are six of us.

Ah, then I’ll have to buy a lunch box again.

You can’t just carry it in an envelope, can you?

Then the owner will be criticized for not being able to control slaves properly.

Your master shouldn’t be in trouble because of a careless slave.

Ael went around the market to buy things she had in mind last night.

At that time, I saw the port security officers with unfamiliar faces walking on the other side.

Ael, who was conflicted for a while, ran to it.

“Oh, how are you?!”

The security guards looked at each other in bewilderment at the woman who suddenly appeared and greeted her with her forehead touching the instep of her feet.

“Who are you?”

“I am the master of Einer, no, I am Ael, the slave of the leader of Einer!”

“Captain Einer? Ah, are you that slave? A demon with horns?”

“Eh? Ah, yes!”

The rumors have already spread. Shame on you….

“You look really cute?”

A female crew member rubbed Ael’s cheeks with her hands and laughed.

“Captain Einer, this is how you like it.”

“hehehe…”

“By the way, do you have something to tell me?”

“That’s… I was wondering where the master is by any chance.”

“It must be in the barracks.”

Then another operator intervened.

“That’s not what he’s asking. He’s just curious about where he’s doing his mission? Just in case we run into each other?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Einer-senpai’s Joe is on the outskirts of the city. He took one of the roads going up to Cacot in the north.”

“Oh, the outskirts of town…”

A female crew member who was fiddling with Ael’s cheek asked.

“Do you want to see the master?”

“Eh…”

Ael evaded her words and smiled shyly.

It was as if honey was dripping from the female crew member’s eyes, as if Ael was so cute.

Who would hate her short, chubby, and smiley Ael with a small face?

Although he himself does not know that fact.

“So when is the master in the barracks?”

“Well? I stayed up all night yesterday and I’m going out again in the afternoon… Do you want to stay for a while tonight?”

“Thank you!”

After parting ways with her security guards, Ael took a moment to think about her recent conversation.

Are you saying that a serious murder case with an emergency call took place on the outskirts of the city?

So that’s why the owner, who is in charge of port security, dared to go all the way to the outskirts of the city?

So that means you are in the most dangerous place right now?!

They patrol the market, but why is it that only the owner is in such a place….

Are you really okay?

No, this is not the time for me to do this.

I need to pack the lunch box with more care so that the owner can cheer up!

Ael didn’t know that Ainer’s group was a group of only the strongest members of the port security force, so he went there.

* * * * *

“What? Say it out loud!”

“Please tell me exactly!”

“There was a really big snake?!”

“A very big snake?!”

“A very big snake is a very big snake!”

Marco scratched his temples with a pencil and wrote down the words in his notebook.

Late afternoon.

Currently, Einer’s Joe was interrogating civilians he met at a certain point on the road outside Daham, which was named Road 2 for operational convenience.

All gray-haired grandmothers have come to collect papaya to sell in the market.

I was going to send him home because it was dangerous, but I came yesterday and the day before, and I heard that he was using a bad basket and said that nothing was wrong.

The problem is that I can’t hear well, so I have to use evil to communicate.

Kira and Toby walked around, bending over and examining the ground, while Ryan laid out a map and marked a specific area with an X.

What is Einer doing while the crew members are doing this?

“It’s delicious.”

One side was cutting papaya with a dagger.

Einer, who had already eaten three papayas, raked the rest together.

This will be sent to Ael via Dynave when the daytime search is withdrawn later.

I was caught here while working in the Eastern Legion, so this is probably my first time trying papaya.

The amount to be eaten is so large that you will have to send dozens of them.

“Hey, Toby. Come see me.”

“Why?”

“Look back.”

Einer stuffed all the papaya into Toby’s tactical backpack.

“It’s heavy, Captain.”

“You’re weak. You can’t be called the harbor security guard of Daham yet.”

Even while the leader was chatting, Marco continued to inquire hard against his deaf grandmothers.

“Colors!”

“I don’t know because I’m blind! I can only see the tail!”

“Then! Where did you go!”

“I don’t even know that!”

“hahahaha…”

Marco looked back at Einer with a troubled expression.

Einer shook his head briefly as he wiped the dagger stained with papaya juice on the hem of his trousers.

“There is no credibility. Even if it is true, it does not seem related to this case.”

“That’s right. I’d rather swallow it whole, but a snake wouldn’t kill a man like that.”

Marco told her grandmothers to stop going into the city.

However, the grandmothers insisted on collecting all the papayas, so in the end, the members of the group stuck together and had to put all the papayas in the basket.

“What are the investigation department guys doing so there is no news?”

After sending the grandmothers away, Toby grumbled as he opened a papaya that had fallen on the floor with a dagger.

“Wait, Toby. Maybe sooner or later I’ll tell the Security Division to go up a specific mountain to search.”

Toby was fed up with Marco’s words and dug out the flesh of the papaya.

“Give me too.”

Kira held out her hand and Toby turned.

“Cut yourself.”

“Such an idiot!”

Just as Kira jumped on Toby’s back and choked her, Ryan quietly opened her mouth.

“Captain. Someone is coming over there.”

The place Ryan pointed was north of the road.

I saw a tall, slender woman with red hair walking this way.

“What? Civilian?”

“I think so.”

When the woman got close enough Marco asked her woman.

“Where are you from?”

“I’m just going for a walk.”

“A walk? A woman alone in a remote place like this?”

“Is there a law against that?”

Marco was speechless at the woman’s question.

“No, it’s not like that, but…”

While Marco scratched her head, you bit her papaya and ran her woman up and down with fierce eyes.

White clothes that can be seen everywhere worn by women. There’s a black belt.

By the way, what is that stain on your shoulder?

No way blood… ?

A naked woman wanders alone on the outskirts of the city out of reach of security, with dried bloodstains on her shoulder.

That’s not normal.

Even if you couldn’t kill a lot of people by yourself, it would be possible if you had accomplices.

Ryan, who was standing on the other side of the woman, caught her gaze and gave her a brief nod.

“Kira. Toby.”

As Ryan called, Kira and Toby quickly grasped the situation and moved back and forth with the woman.

The woman looked back at the security guards, who quickly surrounded her, with eyes that showed no emotion.

“What is it?”

“Please show me your ID.”

“I’m at home.”

“Then you should go with us for a while.”

The woman’s eyes turned to the sword at Ryan’s waist.
