Abandoned Retired Warrior Decides to Return to Farming

What is the Demon King? There is no one who cannot answer this question.

Well, there is no one who does not know her notoriety, no matter where you look on this continent.

The longing of mankind and the disaster of the continent. And the absolute monarch of the demons who ruled this land for over 300 years.

The pages of history written down by her footsteps could not be contained in just a few volumes.

In other words, her existence was nothing more than a symbol of fear, and that’s why I sealed her at the time…

So, now, how am I supposed to accept this spectacle of the Demon King playing tag with the villagers?

Lucia and the children gathered around and decided on the next tag.

“Then, while Aerith unnie is taking a break, Lucia unnie will do the next trick.”

“Eh? But I haven’t been caught yet.”

“Hehehe. You’re friends with Aerith’s sister. Basically, the rule of this game is that friends help each other out.”

“Ugh. Is that so?”

Lucia’s silvery-white hair, sparkling in the sunlight, fluttered in the cool breeze.

She nodded at the children’s words and lifted Aerith up.

It looked like he was busy laughing and talking with the kids about what was so fun.

“uh? it’s kael hey hey Kael!”

Even in front of me as a warrior.

“Guys. I’ll come say hi to Kael for a moment.”

“Okay. You have to come quickly instead, sister.”

“yes. You can’t start without me!”

Lucia, who found me, swore to the children and ran to me.

Yes, even if you tell me the heat, we have a mother who doesn’t understand one.

But why did you come so quickly? I haven’t packed my luggage yet.

“Yes, you are already here.”

“Yeah, I’m here!”

She responded cheerfully to my dismayed words.

So, I had no choice but to be suspicious of her normal appearance.

“I’m going to ask you, did you come here after a fight?”

“yes.”

“Did you do everything I wrote on the paper?”

“Hehe. Of course.”

She smiled confidently and nodded her head.

Did he really come from fighting Aurelia’s army? There was no trust in the spirit of receiving only the answer.

It came earlier than expected, but it was also suspicious that there were no major wounds.

If I had dealt with the Low I know, at least there would be no way I could come back safely.

Maybe she is lying.

When I looked at her reaction with an uncertain gaze,

“Cael, I’m here.”

She greeted me late with a lively voice.

Then he smiled brightly, waving his hand to see what was so welcome.

Looking at it, I felt that it was worthless to worry about what to think about it, so I, too, raised my suspicions.

“Yeah, no one was hurt anyway.”

“maybe? The kids there are so weak. I also like Kael.”

“Oh, is it?”

This is the first time that even after receiving a confession from a beautiful woman, it flows out of one ear.

However, there were unbelievable words coming out of her mouth. What does weak mean?

Could it be that Lowe and the other warriors didn’t come?

But it can’t be. Obviously, there’s no way that bitch Aurelia wouldn’t have let her go unless she knew that the Demon King had come.

It was clear that all the troops he could mobilize, including Lowe, would have been deployed.

So, was Lowe’s party much weaker than I knew?

It’s hard for me to believe that I’ve read the original story, but it’s not really impossible if you look at Serine.

Then, Lucia’s quick return and no wounds could be explained…

“ruler. here.”

At that time, Lucia handed me the long pocket she was carrying on her shoulder.

Even after receiving it, I was stunned and asked without even thinking about solving it.

“What is this?”

“Fufu. It’s a gift.”

“gift?”

You, the demon king, to me, the hero? Besides, did you have time to take care of these things during the war?

She stared at me, seemingly waiting for me to unwind.

“Hehe. Come on, let it go.”

Even urging them to look forward to my reaction.

I didn’t know where to start tackling, so I just loosened my pockets.

And at the familiar sword seen through the hole, I looked at her with hopeless eyes.

“How the hell are you doing this?”

“Fufu.”

Ha, I was at a loss for words as I looked at the holy sword that came out of my pocket.

Lucia was smiling triumphantly, perhaps satisfied with my reaction.

Isn’t the scale too large to say that I brought this as a gift? Even the demon lord who gives the holy sword as a gift.

As I looked at her with no fuss, she smiled miserably at how she interpreted my expression.

“I picked it up there.”

“You picked it up…….”

That’s what I’m saying, but it must have been the loot from Lowe.

This means that he was relaxed enough to steal a holy sword that was lifelike from a hero.

Even when he was facing the Empire alone, he was so overwhelming.

If so, I can understand the situation now.

There were no wounds on her body, and how she was able to come back so quickly. And whose blood this blood on the holy sword belongs to.

“But why did you only say things to me when Cael lost his sword?”

“Ah, that’s… When I got home, I was also stolen.”

“yes? Was it like that?”

I avoided my gaze and responded by nodding my head.

‘Cause it’s not wrong It’s like Aurelia stole it.

“I can’t paint.”

Lucia said so in surprise and tilted her head.

Haha, now I’m doing it, and I even heard the devil rebuke me.

Anyway, what should I do with this holy sword now? Originally, I was planning to go to the Empire and seal it before Lucia retrieves the sword.

My gaze naturally turned to her left chest.

“·················ogue.”

“what’s the matter?”

She asked a strange question, but I did not answer and grabbed the holy sword.

the heart of the devil. and sealed.

Now, in my hand, I have a holy sword that can pierce that skin and pierce my heart.

Perhaps now, without her weapons, this is the most defenseless moment.

There is no guarantee that she can be sealed once again.

Besides, I finally have the holy sword in my hand, and the heart of the demon king right in front of me.

Thinking like that, my breathing became steeper, and strength entered the hand holding the holy sword.

“Are you sick? Do you think Cael is about to vomit?”

I tried to ignore her worried gaze.

Don’t be fooled by that look. No matter how stupid and beautiful they look, they are born with the blood of a demon that cannot be changed.

Of course, it was she who gave me the sword, and I promised to fight in exchange for my request.

Can that be compared to the peace of mankind?

Even if it’s a little dirty and cowardly, it’s better now…

“Oh, maybe Kael wants to play with us too?”

“······What?”

“Would you like me to put Instead, Kael plays the tag.”

Having said that, she waved to the children.

No matter what he was thinking, he turned his back on me.

This is an opportunity that will never come again. I made up my mind to put the tip of the sword on her back and aimed at her heart, but-

“·······Whew.”

With a deep sigh, the tip of the sword finally hung down.

And put the sword back into the scabbard.

As of this moment, there is no excuse for all mankind to point at me as an asshole.

ha. Obviously, I will regret this choice for the rest of my life.

Even so, if I had to make an excuse, it might be better for me not to seal her here now.

The plan is a little off, but anyway, she won’t be against me until she fights me.

If you think about dealing with Aurelia in the future, there will be no other helper like this.

Of course, I had to fight Lucia later, but Aurelia, who was right in front of her, took priority.

‘If you stab a stupid kid like this from behind in the first place, your dream will be wild.’

By the way, the ankle of a former comrade was cut off casually, and he couldn’t even stab the demon lord’s back. Is there another irony like this?

Of course, it was not enough that Serin betrayed me, so the problem was that he tried to kill me.

I smiled bitterly and looked at her back.

“Sister Lucia. not there yet?”

“Are we just doing it together first?”

“Come on, wait a minute. Almost done. I’m going with Kael now!”

At the urging of the children, Lucia grabbed my wrist.

I called her up to take me there.

“Lucia.”

“Yes why? Are you doing this because you don’t want to be teased?”

When I called seriously, she shook her head resolutely as to how she interpreted it.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t. Those are the rules of the game.”

“No, there are no rules like that, and we won’t do it in the first place.”

“Oh, is that so?”

When I replied with absurdity, she kicked a stone on the floor with a sullen look.

At this point, I’m curious as to who made him act as the Demon King. After all, Kusha is that old man, right?

I stroked Lucia’s hair as if to soothe her.

“There are many things I want to say. I’ll do it later.”

“yes. First, I’m going to play with my friends. I also have a lot of things I want to talk about with Kael.”

friends. Putting aside the difference between races, do you know how much your age difference is?

I started to laugh at myself, who was serious until recently, without realizing it.

“Hehe.”

Then, not knowing why I was smiling, Lucia laughed along too.

How did such a child come to use the title of Demon King?

“Mr. Kael!”

At that moment, Aerith’s voice was heard from afar.

When Lucia was about to go back to the children, she walked this way as if taking a shift.

She was wiping the sweat from the back of her neck, exhaling a little harshly.

“The two of you, hoo, secretly talking about something… huh.”

“Let’s sit down and rest for a while.”

He was full of playfulness in his tone of voice, but he was just sad about his condition.

She only nodded as if she had given up on saying more because of my concerns.

Still, at first, he was a heroine who boasted a mysterious atmosphere. Now, I’m a pitiful next-door neighbor.

No, if you think about it, Serine and Lucia were all fine at first.

“Then I will go. Kael.”

“okay. Just watch it and do it.”

“What are you talking about? Whoever you are, you have to do your best.”

Are you going to make the kids cry?

It’s not really a wrong word, so it makes me run out of words to say back.

I just prayed that the kids wouldn’t get hurt.

“Oh right. Aerith.”

“yes?”

At that time, as if remembering Lucia who was going to the children, Aerith called up.

“Because I kept my promise.”

promise? Was there any contact between the two? Come to think of it, Aerith knew her name in the bar.

Did Lucia even run into each other when she came down to the village?

However, contrary to my expectations, Aerith tilted her head as if she did not understand English.

Then, Lucia also tilted her head in the same way.

“uh? Didn’t I promise you?”

“Hey, Lucia. What does that mean?”

“It’s strange, obviously…”

“Lucia, come quickly! It has already started!”

“Uh huh. I’ll go.”

Lucia was forced to leave at the urging of the children, with a trembling expression on her face.

I sat down with Aerith on the bench and asked her to drink the water.

“Aeris. What did you promise with Lucia?”

“No, I don’t remember anything…”

Aerith closed her eyes and thought deeply,

“Clearly, Lucia must have misunderstood something.”

He smiled as if it wasn’t a big deal.

But for some reason, the smile I saw from the side seemed unfamiliar to me.
